Night Raven College: Trial Start! (old version)

How I Met The Fresh Ruler Of Heartslabyul

-Cafeteria-

Pawpads repeatedly hit the ground as Grim bounced in place while observing the current selection on the buffet display. "Nryah, Kokia, that one! You gotta grab me that grilled chicken in the back corner since it's the last one!" Failing paws demanded of his taller henchmen who handed a pale pink fillet of fish to Kupua first.

Easily reaching for Grim's coveted dish, Kokia didn't pay much attention to the other guys crowded in the line reaching for their own food. She successfully snatched the grilled chicken from another hand that had been reaching for it from the corner of her vision, not paying whoever it was any mind as Grim pulled on her pant leg while making grabby paws for the food. Once the plate was delivered to his paws, she began to try and move out from the crowd that had almost fully encircled the buffet.

"Maybe that guy from outside had the right idea with bringing his own lunch if this daily lunch royal is a normal happening." She said to the displeasure of Grim, who complained about missing out on all the omelets, jelly rolls, and stuff like the salmon that Kupua had in his paws. Holding her left hand that wasn't holding her plate in a placating manner. Trying to make her way out of the sea of students while making sure Grim or Kupua didn't get their feet stepped on. "Hey, if you want to run the gauntlet of getting crowd crushed every day, then we need to have a plan to get in and out with food and not drop any."

Fate seemed to take her words seriously as she saw from the corner of her eye that someone was shoving their way towards their direction, only to bump roughly into her right shoulder with a surprised shout and stumble as she easily kept balance.

"T-the yoke broke! The best part of eating carbonara is when you get to poke the yoke! Grrr, hey, watch where your- hey?! I'm talking to you; don't just ignore this food crime you caused and walk away!"

"Briax?" Mama, that loud boy seems to be talking to you.

Smiling coly at her Pokemon, Kokia waved off his words. "Hmm~? I don't seem to hear anyone speaking to me though. Now, let's not pay any mind to complaining from those who like to shove and run into other people's shoulders, yeah? I can see from here that Ace and Deuce seem to have some familiar and unfamiliar company over there."

Faint demands and multiple pairs of feet stomping could be heard from behind as she walked towards Ace, Deuce, Cater, and an unfamiliar green-haired teen. However, the closer she got to the table where the four boys sat, the agitated auras of the two boys following her stopped their approach as she suddenly slid into the open seat next to Cater with Grim and Kupua following suit.

"Oh? If it isn't Cay-Cay! Ace isn't about to get run out of the cafeteria like what happened at Heartsubly Dorm this morning, is he?" Kokia inquired, trying not to show amusement from the way everyone jumped in their seats at her sudden entrance. Patiently waiting for the surprise to wear off as Grim, Kupua, and herself were about to dig into their lunches.

Rubbing a strand of hair between his fingers, Cater's shoulders slumped slightly as he pouted. "Aw, don't be too mad at me Papaya-chan! I just got done explaining to Ace and Deucey that it's just dorm rules; promise I'm usually more tame!"

"Please. Do not call me Deucey again."

Cater waved Deuce off as he continued speaking. "So you all don't have to worry a thing about Dorm rules being enforced outside of Heartslabyul. Right now I'm just a regular student like the rest of you guys, isn't that right, Trey?"

The guy who hadn't said a word gave a small smile as he adjusted his glasses. "Trey Clover. I'm a junior at Heartslabyul, like Cater here. And you must be Kokia, the new Head of that dump of a-" He cuts himself off at the three pairs of eyes that promptly looked towards him. *ahem* "I mean, two of the three who went to the mine yesterday, correct? I only heard the basic summary of the story from Ace and Deuce when they returned last night." Reaching over Cater with an extended hand towards the new Ramshackle 'Dorm Head' with a chagrined expression. "I do honestly mean it when I say I'm glad you looked out for these two and helped them home in one piece, even if it was in a bit of a rough state."
