Though the sudden hug made her more than a little uncomfortable, Hoshiko does her best to avoid showing it. It probably less than succeeds, since she doesn't return the hug and sort of stands there stiffly, though whether the high strung girl realizes it or not is beyond her. I don't even know her, she thinks to herself. Kenji would be one thing, but...
"My name is Mai Hoshiko," Hoshiko says carefully as introduction. "Why so much clothes? We will wear the uniform of the school I think?" Hoshiko asks more than states, still rather aghast at the sheer amount of belongings her roommate has. Self consciously, she sets her single bag on her bed then sits down to watch the destruction continue.
Morning
Rising with the sun after an exhausting day is nothing new for Hoshiko. She flies about as Black Star often enough on nights to be somewhat used to it, plus she's looking forward to finding out more about the school. She bathes and dresses, putting on one of her few identical school uniforms, going about her business with quiet efficiency, speaking with Alexandra when she's addressed. Finally, she gathers her school parafanalia.
"I must join father and mother and go to breakfast," Hoshiko says to Alexandra. "I will see you later," she adds as she leaves, heading quickly to get her parents before the talkative and exuberant roommate can follow and further annoy her mother. That was an additional headache she didn't need. She passed a lot of people in the hallways, some appearing less than normal. The day was certainly going to be interesting.

Rinea’s face shows not unly seriousness, but even a touch of concern. “Lucky is the name of the Leprechaun who keeps taking people’s breakfasts on the moving picture box. I assumed since we are in Ireland, the native homeland of the creatures outside of South Bend, Indiana, we are likely to encounter him.”

Marcus
It had been a quiet night, and a quiet morning as well. His roommate definitely was not a man of many words, a point that was becoming clearer as he left the room without a word. Marcus hung out for a few minutes more, finishing his morning routine, before leaving to go to breakfast. He caught up with Robbie a few minutes later.
“Hey man. Sleep well?” Robbie asked. He looked a bit tired himself, trying to overcome jet lag.
Jonn
“I find myself in need of sustenance. Yes, Jonn Birkey, I will accompany you to breakfast,” Bob replied. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a black sweater; his clothing was a bit too heavy for the weather, but he does not appear to be uncomfortable.
As they were leaving the boys dorm, they caught up to Robbie and Marcus as they were making their way to breakfast.
Hoshiko
“Oh, okay. See you there!” Alexandra is buys staring into a mirror, carefully styling her hair. She does not seem discouraged by Hoshiko’s aloofness; in fact, she acts as if she does not even notice.
She meets up with her parents, who both seem to be in better spirits after getting some rest, though her mother does ask who the strange girl was that Hoshiko was sharing a room with.
Cloud and Rinea
En route to the dining hall, they ran into Mrs. Rice, who stood waiting on the steps of the dorm. She greeted Cloud and Rinea warmly, but gestured for them to be quiet. Standing a few feet away, Mr. Rice stood with a cell phone to his ear. A moment later, he closed the phone without saying goodbye, a look of annoyance on his face. Wordlessly, Mrs. Rice took the cell phone away from him, and shut it off.

Dining hall

The cafeteria was on the ground floor, easily found thanks to signs on the walls which pointed the students in the right direction. They were quite helpful, but Jonn was certain that they had not been there the night before.
The cafeteria itself was locked, but the dining hall was open. The dining hall was a large room, filled with round tables. Each table was covered with a white linen table cloth, and had six places set at it. At the end of the room stood a long table, laden with food. There were eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, muffins of a variety of flavors, fresh fruit, oatmeal and grits, glass pitchers of milk and fruit juices, and coffee. At the opposite end of the room, there stood another long table, with six more place settings. Resting upon each plate at that table was a small card that read ‘Reserved’ in neat script.
Students were already gathering in the dining hall. There were only about fifty other people present. Forty of them looked to be students, while the other ten appeared to be parents. Of the students, of the students, there were a few familiar faces. At one table, a girl with green skin talked quietly with the young man sitting next to her. Cloud would recognize the girl as the one she had spoken to on her first trip to the campus. Shannon Steele, another familiar face, sat alone at a table near the front of the room, reading a thick book. Hoshiko recognized Ken, who was laughing loudly at something the boy next to him had said. Rinea caught sight of Max, who appeared to be falling asleep into a plate of eggs, at a table near the windows. However, there was no sign of Lucky, or any other mythical beings.

Jonn Birkey (Rumble)
"Hey Robbie, Marcus! This is my roommate, Bob." Jonn walked quickly to catch up with his friends, making sure Bob did not get left behind. He glanced several times at the signs to the dinning hall, a puzzled look on his face.
"Wow, pretty fancy set up they've got here. I could get used to living like this." As they walked inside Jonn moved a little slower. He was trying to look for familiar faces. He was pretty surprised when he spotted Shannon Steele reading at a table. "Look, it's that Shannon lady from our big battle back in PA. You guys want to say hi?"

James Dunbar, HP 5/5
James moved into the dining hall, stepped out of the way of the entrance and then just..stopped. For a few moments he just stood there, utterly still, scanning the room and the people in it without moving an inch. He seemed to be just staring at nothing to anyone who glanced at his odd behaviour, but when James slid smoothly into motion again, he knew where all the exits from the room were, among other things. In his dark clothes, looking as pale as he did, people might be forgiven for mistaking him for a goth - and a weird one at that. Not that James cared. 'I can do this. I can. Just think about it as an exercise. A task. Keep it in terms of conflict and training. I can deal with that. No reason to be nervous - right?'
James moved over to the tables of food, getting himself some strong, unsweetened black coffee, cereal, fruit and some eggs and bacon. For someone who looked quite slim despite his muscles, he seemed to eat a lot of food when he had the chance. James silently ghosted over to a table off to one side, which had a good view of as many exits as possible, and was close to the windows.He sought an empty table if possible, or one with as few people present as he could manage. 'Be aware of the exits, and ensure you have an unconventional one for use yourself should you need it.'
James ate methodically, not seeming to pay attention to his food. He watched the students moving around and kept an eye on the area outside the windows too. His knife and fork were never far away - even...heck, especially here, James felt more comfortable with a weapon close at hand, even an impromptu one. 'I wonder when I can visit Amelia...' James didn't actively discourage anyone who sought to sit at the same table, but no-one got more than a "Hello" and "James" in response to the obvious greeting and still more obvious question.

Marcus Stevens (Proton) HPs: 5/5, Unhurt
“Not as well as I’d like,” Marcus replied. “Kept having this feeling I was being watched. Weird, huh? How ‘bout you? You’re lookin’ pretty lagged, my friend.”
Marcus goofed off with Robbie, talking roommates (“Mine? . . . dude, I have no idea”) and general stuff before spotting Marcus on the way to breakfast.
Marcus high-fived with Jonn, and added, “Man, thought you got lost or something – haven’t seen you since the plane ride. Hey Bob, sup?”
“Absolutely, let's do it,” Marcus said, grinning. Marcus continued to himself ‘Wonder if anyone else is sitting at her table this morning? And why can’t I shake the feeling I’ve seen her somewhere before . . . movies? . . . tv . . . ahh, I'm just freaking cause it’s a pretty girl.’

Rinea returned Mrs. Rice’s greeting when it was O.K. to talk. Then rather unexpectedly, she gave Mr. Rice a quick hug before walking on to breakfast.
In the dining hall, Rinea told Cloud “Perhaps I should give you some time with your parents, yes?” and then moved off into the crowd. She spent a few minutes greeting people. She said a quick good morning to Max. At the banquet table, she filled a plate to brimming with a small amount of each food, unsure of which she might enjoy, and not wanting to skip any. At last she settled into a table next to a quiet boy dressed in black, who sat alone at a table and looked like he needed a friend. She sits closer than would be normal for stranger at an empty table, and starts talking and eating. “Hello, James. I am named Rinea. What is your strategy, this morning? Oh, this yellow substance tastes good!”

"Oh, that would be Alexandra," Hoshiko tells her mother in their native tongue. "I hadn't realized we'd be having roommates. I am not very comfortable around her. She is very... vain." She tries to avoid elaborating any, not wanting to particularly badmouth anyone.
She will avoid Ken for the moment, not at all wanting to have any conversations regarding her possibly being a mutant, especially after pretty much denying it to him before, and find a table with her parents for breakfast. Probably whatever table her father chooses.

“That sucks, man. My roommate, he’s okay. Some Japanese kid, but he’s got a sense of humor. He’s got powers too, made the room look like it was filled with a bunch of fine honeys,” Robbie said with a grin.
Bob nodded his head slightly in greeting to Marcus and Robbie. At Marcus’ greeting, he glances skyward. “Cumulonimbus clouds,” he replied seriously.

For the moment, Shannon was sitting alone, pouring over a thick book with very small writing. She glanced up as Marcus, Robbie, Jonn and Bob approached, greeting them with a preoccupied smile. “Hey, guys. How was your trip?”
