[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7112758, member: 6855204"] [ooc]Then you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.[/ooc] "I am," Mezzra said, "Every woman in my family has been a priestess. If I had not made it in to the School of the Divine, I may have just thrown myself off the tallest tower. It would have been better for me, I think, than to go home and not be a priestess." "I was hoping to get into more schools," Korlin admitted. "I want to learn everything, but only half the schools took me. I was hoping to get in to the School of Combat most of all, but I apparently didn't impress them. Oh well, I will make the most of it." The group made their way to Jaques', a pub on Main Street. Main Street itself was full of shops and bars and places to eat. It seemed to be a main hub for the school, where the students could go and chill after their work. When they got there, Raven had already gotten a large booth for them. As they joined her, she ordered some drinks. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions about how things work around here," she started. "I'm not a babysitter. Well, ok, I was a babysitter when I got assigned to you, but that was my grandpa's doings. They always send a senior student to make sure the new recruits don't, you know, get eaten by a mouther or anything. I wasn't allowed to interfere with anything unless you were going to die." "A few things you need to know. There aren't any lesson plans or anything. You go where you want and learn what you want from any of the schools you were admitted to. Learn what you want.

[sblock=Mim] Mim makes his way through the tower, which is full of rooms and corridors. The rooms are mostly empty, with mats and candles in the center. It seems like a place of meditation. He does find stairs leading up and begins to climb. The winding staircase continues up and up and up and up, almost past the point where Mim can stand it.
