As everyone began their quick introduction, Elsie tried to put associations with each person’s name so she would have an easier time remembering them. Names were never a strong suit for her. Thankfully there were a few tricks she had learned to help her memorize names with faces, she just had to say it out loud and that usually did the trick. If that didn’t work she would just end up asking instead of going weeks without knowing. “Nice you meet you, Ernold,” she said with a pleasant grin. At his question regarding her rabbit, Cy, she launched softly through her nose then said, “He is in fact a Flemish giant! It sure would be nice if he was magical.” She looked down at the bunny in her arms, he continued to lay contently in her arms with his eyes now closed, then she turned her attention back over to Raiden. “Nice to meet you Raiden,” she added quickly before she also forgot his name.
The room definitely felt quite tight now and she was a little worried about how she would be able to function going from a studio apartment with just her and Cy, to a dorm room with four other people. They all seemed nice enough to be courteous, but still, it would take some getting used to. Since everyone was fine with her taking the top bunk she turned back to her suitcases and began removing her bags from the handles of the rolling cases.
She paused to speak when Raiden asked if anyone else was a first year. Being her first year attending the academy, but assumed he was referring to year of university being studied. “This is my first year attending, but I am in my third year of university studies,” she said after a little while. She had previously been studying a general business degree in hopes it might help her get any job apart from an entry level customer service position one day. Now that she was attending an academy for magical beings, she hoped things might change where she could reintegrate into her realm, or maybe a similar one where beings were not so cruel.
With Elsie moving around a bit more, Cy perked up a bit and wiggled to be set down. Elsie obliged and set the rabbit near her belongings before she began to attempt and unpack. She wasn’t sure where all of her things would fit, but hopefully she wouldn’t need to rent a storage unit in the nearby town.
