Day One At Lorecraft/Transcript

< Day One at Lorecraft

''Sara Butterfly approaches the school. She doesn't know what's in store for her, as she's new but that just makes more excited.''

Sara: Oh. My. Gosh. School's finally beginning! This is gonna be so amazing I just can't wait!

A young man in a red waistcoat is sitting near the gates of the school, looking impatiently at a pocketwatch, waiting for the gates to open.

Lewis: These doors were supposed to open 3.0152 seconds ago. Hmph.

Sara: (loudly proclaims) Sara Butterfly is ready to kick off her exciting school adventures!

The young man flinches for a bit at the loud sound, and turns his head annoyed to Sara.

Lewis: Could you be any louder?

Sara quickly runs up to Lewis and appears before him in what seems like an instant.

Sara: Oh, hiya! Are you new here too? What's your name?

Lewis rolls his eyes at the young girl's… exuberance.

Lewis: My name is Lewis Finnegan. I assume that you are a new student.

Sara: You bet I'm new! Sara Butterfly is the name!

Lewis: So I heard…

Mizu came running up to the school, almost tripping several times in an attempt not to be late.

Mizu: Out of the way, out of the way! Ah, I'm not late, am I?

Lewis: No, but the gatekeepers are. They're… (checks his pocketwatch) …51.532 seconds late.

Sara: Wow. You're so precise with time! How do you do that?

Lewis: It's no trick. It's just bothering to keep track.

Mizu: Well, that's not that late! Ah, how rude, I should introduce myself. My name is Mizu Schwarzwind and its my first day here!

Sara: That's so cool! It's my first day too! Are you excited? What do you think the teachers will be like?

Lewis: (to Sara) You talk a lot, don't you?

Sara: (to Mizu) I'm Sara Butterfly, by the way. (to Lewis) I can't help it! I'm just so gosh darn excited!

Sara does a twirl after finishing her sentence.

Amelia comes running, when she reaches to top of the stairs, gasping for air.

Amelia: Sorry I'm late.

Lewis: (to Sara) Try to calm down, you're embarrassing the rest of us.

Lewis: (turning to Amelia) The gates haven't opened yet.

Amelia: (trying to recover) Oh thank god, it would be horrible to be late on my first day.

Mizu adjusts his glasses that were slightly falling down his face.

Mizu: Yes, Im very excited! …So, is it gonna open anytime soon?

Lewis: I hope so.

''Gradually, more students arrive and gather in front of the gate. After waiting for what seems like an eternity, the gates finally open.''

Mizu: Finally! Lets get this show on the road!

Lewis: Hmph. For a top school, their timing is lacking.

Amelia: Oh man, I wonder what's coming.

Sara: Woohoo! The gates are open! Now the adventure can finally begin!

Mizu: So… where do we go?

''Sara rushes across the school's courtyard, ahead of the others. Lewis follows behind her, though at a much calmer pace. When Sara reaches the other side, she makes waving motions at the others.''

Sara: Heeeeey! Over here!

Lewis: Must you constantly yell?

Lewis reaches the other side surprisingly fast.

Sara: Whoops, sorry. Didn't mean to hurt your ears.

Mizu finally reaches the other side of the courtyard.

Mizu: It's fine, but… could you slow down a bit? Not all of us are fast.

Sara: It's just, it's all so exciting, y'know?

Lewis: Yes. You've said as much five times now.

Amelia is trying to reach the other side.

Amelia: I know, but I get exhausted really quick.

''Once the group is gathered together at the building's side of the courtyard, and all the student have entered said courtyard, they see the school's staff facing them, with one of them in front, on a podium. The staff member on the podium starts speaking.''

Darklaw: To all students, both new and returning, I would like to welcome you all to this prestigious school. I am headmaster Darklaw, and you are to address me as such.

Mizu: (whispers to himself) Prestigious? I didnt know there was anything special about this place…

Lewis: (whispers to Mizu) Don't you know? This school is the top of its class. Only those who pass its rigorous exams can make it in.

Darklaw: You have all been chosen based on talents and abilities that you have shown on any of the schools and academies associated with this one. Though you all may possess great talents and/or abilities, do not take the five years you will be spending here lightly.

Amelia: (whispers) Yes, both of my parents graduated here, and they are recognized anywhere they go!

Lewis: (whispers) As did my father.

Mizu: (whispers) Oh… well now I feel like there's a ton of pressure to perform well!

Lewis: (whispers): I'm more surprised that you didn't know this beforehand.

Headmaster Darklaw glances over at Lewis, Mizu and Amelia for a very brief moment, then returns to her speech.

Amelia: (whispers) Not as bad to prove to your parents you're capable of doing stuff.

She sheds a minimal tear.

Darklaw: Though rest assured, this school provides you with many facilities you may need in order to succeed. I wish you all a good year, and may you overcome any obstacles in your way on your path to success.

after Darklaw's final words, the students collectively applaud, as she leaves the podium.

Lewis: So there is Headmaster Darklaw. She's known worldwide as one of the most powerful people alive today, and for good reason…

''The teachers are sitting at tables next to each other, with a pile of sheets on every one of them. There's signs next to the tables that read 'First-Year', 'Second-Year', 'Third-Year', 'Fourth-Year' and 'Final-Year', respectively. One of the teachers then speaks up.''

Sportman: Alright, everyone! Line up at your correct year to receive your class and subjects assignments!

Lewis walked over to the First-Year Table, making sure to be one of the first.

Sara: Hey wait up!

''Sara quickly catches up with Lewis. Amelia follows Sara and Lewis, hoping for the best. Lewis nods to the person heading the First-Year Table.''

Teacher: Here you go. Your dorm room is listed on the bulletin board inside.

Lewis: Thank you. (Hmm... First floor, eh? Excellent.)

Sara: Ooh! Can I get my papers now?

Teacher: And your name is?

Sara: Sa-ra Butterfly!

Teacher: Here you go. Be sure to check your dorm room on the bulletin board inside.

Sara: (squeeing) My dorm room! This is gonna be amazing!

Sara eagerly sprints off into the building.

Amelia: Ummm, Hi, I'm Amelia Fray, may I get my papers?

Mizu also runs into the building excitedly.

Teacher: Fray, Fray. Ah, here it is. Your dorm room's listed on the bulletin board inside.

Amelia notices Mizu ran ahead without picking up his papers.

Amelia: (yelling to Mizu) Wait! You forgot your papers!

Teacher: (They're energetic this year. Let's hope it works in their favor.)

Mizu: Ah thanks! I didnt know I'd need these so soon!

Amelia: Don't worry, I forget things too.

Lewis: I hope you don't get lost on your first day.

Mizu heads back to pick up his papers.

Sara: So? What class are you in, Lewis?

Lewis: First period is Combat Basics. B/1.

Sara: I. Can't. Believe it. We're in the same class! These are going to be the greatest five years of my life!

Lewis: (sarcastically) …perfect.

Amelia is looking at her schedule, not paying attention to her surroundings, causing her to bump into Lewis.

Amelia: Oh my god, I'm so sorry!

Lewis: (merely facepalms) These are the people I have to work with.

Mizu: So… what are these papers for?

Sara: Here, let me help. Let's see here… No way!

Mizu: (to Sara) Hm? What is it?

Sara: You're in the same class as me and Lewis! This is the best thing ever!

Amelia: Wait, which class do you all have?

Lewis: Let me see that.

Lewis rather rudely snatches Amelia's schedule out of her hands.

Lewis: …Really?

Amelia: Hey!

Lewis tosses it back to Amelia.

Lewis: We all have the same first period. Of course.

Amelia: Hey! That's awesome!

Mizu: Well, looks like we'll all get to know each other better then!

Sara: Yay! Let's check out our bedrooms! Ooh, I hope my stuff's already there so I can start unpacking!

Sara runs off, expecting the others to follow her.

Amelia: Wait for me!

''She runs and follows Sara. Lewis takes a slower approach, walking behind the two. Mizu runs and follows Sara to the rooms.When running up the stairs to the First Floor, where the dorms for the First and Second-Years are, Sara trips over the last step and falls flat on her face.''

Amelia: (gasps) Oh my God, are you alright Sara?!

Lewis facepalms and helps Sara up.

Sara: I'm fine, let's go, people!

The bruise on her forehead suggests otherwise.

Amelia: Are you sure?

Lewis: Just make sure you don't injure yourself thanks to your hastiness.

Sara: Aw, you care about me!

Mizu: You really sure? That was quite the fall.

Lewis: (to Sara) That, and now that I'm associated with you, I'd rather you not embarrass the both of us.

Sara: Hmph. Even when you're nice, you're still a meanie.

Lewis: It's a gift.

Sara: Anyways, looks like the girls rooms are to the right, and the boys rooms are to the left.

Amelia: I'll accompany you then Sara.

Lewis: I guess I'll be seeing you girls later.

Lewis walks off to the left without a second word.

Mizu: Same! See y'all later!

Mizu walks to the left as well.

And so our group of 4 splits into two groups of 2.

Sara: So, how do we find our room exactly?

Amelia: Do you think it has our names on the front door of each room?

Other students are going in all kinds of directions, presumably also looking for their rooms.

Sara: I can't see, there's people in the way!

Amelia: Sheesh, this will be impossible now. ''Meanwhile, in the boys' dorm, Lewis and Mizu weren't having that much luck either. The boy's side was just as chaotic, maybe even more so.''

Lewis: Ugh… must people be this obnoxious?

Mizu: I guess so… I wish it wasn't so busy here.

Lewis puts a hand to his chin.

Lewis: I have an idea.

Mizu: (adjusting his glasses) And that is?

Lewis puts his hand to his breast pocket.

Lewis: Magic.

Suddenly, time seemed to freeze around Lewis and Mizu.

Mizu: Wait… what… what just happened?!

Lewis had already begun to walk away.

Lewis: Like I said: magic.

Mizu runs to catch up to Lewis.

Mizu: Where did this come from?!

Lewis: Trade secret.

Mizu: (looking around him) This is, uh… interesting.

Lewis: You get used to it- aha!

Mizu: It's something you get used to? How? Time just stopped!

Lewis: I've found our rooms.

''By this point, time had resumed on, and no one had seemed to notice. Alex Miunan stood in the corner, a little spaced out, trying to figure out which room to enter.''

Lewis: Looks like we're sharing a room. Along with another boy...

Alex finally makes his way around all the other people and gets to the room, to find the other two boys.

Alex: Uhh... heya...

Lewis: Oh, hello, are you Alex?

Lewis offers a hand to Alex.

Lewis: My name is Lewis Finnegan. My associate here is Mizu.

Alex stares for a second, then notices and shakes his hand.

Alex: Y-yeah, nice to meet you!

Mizu: Hi Alex, nice to meet you!

Lewis: Well then, gentlemen, shall we set up our room?

Alex: Sounds good to me.

And so Mizu and Lewis found their room, along with Alex, who they would be sharing the room with. ''Back in the girls' dorm, chaos still reigned as there seemed to be no way through the ocean of students. Amelia, while struggling to get through the chaos, notices something in the distance.''

Amelia: Sara! I think I see your room!

''Sara couldn't respond as she was too busy trying to not get run over by everyone. A worried Amelia tries to run to Sara and save her, pulling her by the arm away from the crowd.''

Sara: Whoa! (sees Amelia) Oh thanks!

Amelia: You're welcome! Come with me, I think I saw your room right ahead.

Sara: My room? Where?

Amelia guides Sara to a room where in front of it there Sara's and another girl's name.

Amelia: Here it is! I'm surprised I was right...

Sara: Wait? We're not sharing a room?

''Sara looks like she's about to cry. Amelia notices her state and hugs her immediately.''

Amelia: I know! It hurts me too! But remember we still have classes together. Plus, we can always sit together at lunch. We will have many times to hang out together, so don't cry about it.

Sara dries her tears.

Sara: Well, okay then. I'll see you later I guess. Good luck with finding your room.

Amelia: Thank you, I'm going to need it.

''Sara waves goodbye to Amelia and enters her room. Amelia ventures forth to find her room, it takes her about half an hour to find it, and when finally finds it, she enters it and faints as she closes the door. Sara notices she is alone in the room. Wondering where her roommate could be, Sara stands just outside the room looking for someone that could be the roommate. Eventually, a short girl enters the room. She is reading a book and walks right past Sara to one of the beds. Sara fails to notice the short girl and continues looking at the sea of students that was still swarming the center of the room, as if she was looking out over the ocean. While walking to one of the beds, the girl trips and drops both the book and the glasses. She tries to quickly grab them before the girl on the door notices her. Sara does notice the thud and heads back into the room.''

Sara: What the-? Hey, are you okay?

The girl starts to panic.

Natalie: Um... Y-Yes, I'm fine...

Sara: That's good. I'm Sara! What's your name?

Natalie: M-My name is N-Natalie.

Sara: Natalie?

Sara goes to check the sign on the door and sees two names: Sara Butterfly and Natalie Brown.

Sara: (gasps) ROOMIEEEEEEEEE!

''Sara is quick to give Natalie a big hug, much to Natalie's discomfort. Natalie is afraid to say anything, just takes the hug nervously. Sara finishes her big hug and lets go of Natalie.''

Sara: Alright, since your gonna be my roommate, I'm gonna have to give you a nickname. I'll call you Nat!

Natalie is not confortamble with it, but Natalie merely responds in kind.

Natalie: O-Okay...

Sara: This is going to be so awesome, y'know? Being at this school is going to be the best thing in my life!

Natalie starts to sweat even more.

Sara: Hey, relax! We're here to have fun, and learn great things!

Natalie: (rather depressed) I-I hope so...

Sara: You bet it'll be!

Natalie: O-Okay...

Sara: Anyways, let's get going! These boxes ain't gonna unpack themselves!

''Natalie starts doing it, but with a rather depressing look on her face. Sara excitedly runs over to her boxes and starts unpacking them at a rapid pace.'' ''As for how the boys are doing in their room, they were all setting up their room in a different manner. Lewis is currently filing through his clothes, before folding them up neatly and placing them in his drawers, before moving on to his coats. Alex is laying out his bed, making sure everything was neat and comfy. Mizu quickly puts stuff in drawers with not much organization, a complete contrast to Lewis' neat style. Lewis pulls out his watch.''

Lewis: Alright, gentlemen, we're making good time. I'm impressed.

Alex: Uhh, thanks! Where are we off to next?

Lewis: Well, I've fully unpacked. What about you, Mizu?

Mizu: Yep, I am!

Lewis: Well then, shall we grab lunch?

Alex: I could go for some lunch! Is there any place you have in mind?

Lewis: None in particular. Let's meet up with the girls, then eat.

Mizu: Sounds like a good idea!

With their bags unpacked, the 3 boys leave the room to reunite themselves with the girls. ''Amelia stood in front of the door, not knowing whether her roommates were already inside. She enters her room, and stares awkardly at her new roomates. Suddenly, something fell from the ceiling, tackling Amelia to the floor in a ball of hair, clothing, and people. Zeva waves at amelia with a warm smile. Amelia yells and tries to get the object that's attacking her.''

Amelia: Gah! What is this?! Help me!!!

Zeva: Don't worry! She did that to me as well!

''Zeva shuffles over and helps her out. The person that knocked her to the floor is a girl Amelia's age. Her hair was an odd mixture of pink and purple dye, cut in a boyishly short haircut. Around her neck was a purple spiked chocker. Currently, she was on her back, laughing her ass off at Amelia's reaction.''

Pink/purple-haired girl: Oh my God, that freaking scream! That was priceless!

Amelia is helped by Zeva, and stands up with her help.

Amelia: Wha-What the hell was that?! Why are you laughing?!

Carol: Because it's funny!

Giggling, Zeva dusts Amelia up and fixes her own glasses to her face again.

Zeva: Can't blame her, she's not wrong.

Carol: See, Z gets it.

Amelia is furious but embarrased at the same time.

Amelia: No it's not funny!

Zeva: Sorry. Names Zeva, by the way.

Carol: Name's Carol. And yes, it is very funny.

Amelia: M-My name is Amelia.

Zeva: Guess we're flatmates. This is gonna be an experience.

Carol slaps Amelia roughly on the back.

Zeva: Hell yeah it is! This is gonna be awesome!

Amelia yelps because of the slap.

Amelia: This is going to be an experience...

Carol: Well, we need a band for it to be an Experience... Though the Carol Dodgson Experience would be awesome.

Zeva: Or the McAlister experience. Either way, what now?

Amelia: Um... if we are doing this, shouldn't we have a name that includes all three of us?

Carol: ...nah.

Zeva nods her head at Amelia, agreeing with her.

Zeva: Actually I agree with Amelia.

Carol: Come on, Hendrix never did that!

Zeva looks Carol dead in the eyes.

Zeva: Jackson 5.

Amelia: Well, I thought since we are roomates, how about we name it all by our last names?

Carol stuck out her tongue at Zeva.

Carol: Fine...

Zeva did the same back at Carol.

Zeva: So, what should the name be?

Amelia: How about the DodgsonMcAlisterFray Experience. Or DMF Experience for short?

Carol: I like it!

Zeva: how about MFD?

Carol: MF Doom?

Zeva: Works with a... different acronym.

Carol: You just want your name to go first.

Amelia: I mean, we can shuffle the names every day.

Zeva: True, true.

Carol: Fair enough. But we're starting with DMF!

Zeva nods with a smile, fixing her glasses again.

Amelia: (smiling) Great, now I think it would be good idea to start unpacking.

Carol: Done on my end. All that's left is you.

Zeva: Already ahead of you, tutz.

Amelia: Oh... In that case, I'll unpack by myself. You two can go eat something.

Zeva: I'll wait for ya here. Kinda like no woman left behind here.

Carol: Come on! We're buds!

Carol slaps both of them on the back.

Carol: The Three Caballeros and all that, right?

Amelia: Okay, I'll unpack fast so you won't have to wait a lot.

Zeva smirks and slaps Carol back.

Zeva: We're what the 3 musketeers wished they were. A band of babes, no doubt.

Carol: Smoking hot, if I do say so myself.

''Starting to feel awkward, Amelia immediately starts unpacking all her stuff. Zeva laughs for a bit, beginning to enjoy the time. Amelia unpacks for about half an hour. It took some time due to the conversations between Zeva and Carol, but she's finally done. Carol had decided to take a nap while Amelia was unpacking.''

Amelia: Okey-Dokie. All done finished unpacking.

Zeva had helped Amelia out with her unpacking.

Zeva: So... anyone got anything in particular for food?

Amelia: No, but I have to go to find my friends so we can eat.

Carol bolted awake.

Carol: I heard friends and eating. Let’s go.

Zeva: Do you always bounce at the mere mention of food?

Carol: And friends. What can I say? I’m a hedonist.

Zeva: (takes a deep breath): This is going to be quite the experience.

Amelia just nods and opens the door to leave.

Amelia: Forward we go!

Carol grabs Zeva, before putting her on her back.

Carol: Onwards, to victory!

Zeva holds onto Carol with one hand and grabs Amelia with the other.

Zeva: All for one and one for all, right?

Carol: For fun! For glory! For friendship!

''Amelia just ponders what mess she just started. The three girls leave their room, looking for Amelia's friend so they could go eat.'' Speaking of whom...

Sara: There! All done! How's yours coming along, Nat?

Natalie was just barely half way through unpacking her stuff.

Natalie: Oh, Um, f-fine, I s-suppose.

Sara: You need some help?

''Reluctantly but without other choice, Natalie just nods. Sara tries to help, but keeps putting stuff in places other than where Natalie wants them to go. Natalie, afraid to say anything, just rolls with it, with some minor murmurs. Between Sara continuing to put things in the wrong places and Natalie not saying anything and just correcting it herself, they take nearly as long as it would've taken Natalie by herself. With the courage she tried to have trying to talk to Sara, Natalia finally speaks up.''

Natalie: D-Don't you have better things to do than t-to help someone like me?

Sara: Nope! Cause you're my roomie, and my friend. There's not much better than helping a friend if you ask me.

Sara's stomach then growls loudly.

Sara: Uh, okay, maybe there's one thing that's better. Let's eat!

''Natalie struggles to choose between staying here and to go eating and starts sweating. She finally decides by nodding to Sara.''

Sara: Then let's gooo-

Sara is interrupted by Carol slamming the door in her face, having been led to Sara's room alongside Zeva by Amelia.

Zeva: (in a childish manner) WOHO FOOD TIME!!!!!

Natalie runs to Sara.

Natalie: (struggling to speak) A-Are you a-alright?

Carol: YEAH!

Carol realizes she smacked Sara in the face.

Carol: ...Oops.

Amelia facepalms.

Amelia: And that's one of my friends...

Sara: (rubs her face): Owie!

She then gets up and starts yelling at Carol.

Sara: Hey! What's the big idea?!

Carol immediately points to Amelia.

Carol: She led me here.

Amelia: Hey! Don't put the blame on me!

Zeva: Carol, we all know you just ran this way.

Sara: Next time, knock before opening a door, will ya?

Carol: You can prove nothing!

Carol: (to Sara) I really am sorry about that, though.

Sara's stomach then growls again.

Sara: Ooh! I almost forgot! We were gonna go eat!

Amelia: Yes, we have to meet up with the boys too!

Zeva: Food time?

Carol throws her arms into the air, accidentally throwing Zeva off of her back.

Carol: FINALLY! FOOD!

Zeva makes the loudest squeak ever.

Carol: ...Why do my shoulders feel a lot lighter?

Zeva: (groans) You just... threw me off of them.

Carol: Huh. Didn't think you were that light.

Amelia: (quietly murmurs to Sara) Help me...

Carol picks Zeva back up and places her back on her back.

Carol: Sorry 'bout that, Z.

After getting up, Zeva dusts herself off and smiles.

Sara: (impatiently) Grrr, let's go already!

All in the meantime, Natalie had left as fast as she could so she could avoid this situation.

Zeva got back onto Carols arms.

Zeva: Ready?

Carol: (smiling) You know it! Try not to fall off this time!

Zeva: (teasingly) Alright, Freak the Mighty.

Amelia: Um, Sara, there wasn't a little girl beside you, was there?

Sara: Yeah, she's right here.

Sara motions at an empty spot without looking at said empty spot.

Amelia: ...

Carol: (whispers to Amelia) I suggest we back away slowly...

Sara: What?

Zeva: (whispers to Carol) I think we should leave them here for a bit and catch up with the dudes.

Sara: Why is everyone looking at me like that?

Zeva: Look next to ya, pimhead!

Sara: Whaddaya mean?

Sara finally looks at the spot she was motioning at.

Sara: Hey, where'd she go? Nat? Nat? NAAAAAT?!

Carol: (whispers to Zeva) And they say I'm clueless...

Amelia: What happened? Where did she go?

Sara: Oh well, I'll find her later.

Zeva: (whispers to Carol) And they call me an idiot.

Sara: Let's move, people!

And with that, the 4 girls left the dorm and made their way down the stairs, where the boys had been waiting for them for quite a while. Lewis sat there, tapping his foot impatiently.

Lewis: You're late.

Alex: Oh wow, th-thats a lot more people than I was expecting.

Sara: Ooh! Who are you? A new friend?

Alex: Yeah, I guess... Hi, I'm Alex

Sara: And I'm Sara Butterfly! Nice to meetcha!

Lewis: What took you so long?

Amelia: Hey there, look at new people we met!

She points at Carol and Zeva, indirectly mentioning that' s why they took so long.

Carol: Hey, don't look at us! We're innocent.

Zeva lets go of Carol and hops off of her.

Zeva: Hey hello. Name's Zeva, Lord of the Bread. And who might you men be?

Lewis: I am Lewis Finnegan. (gestures towards Mizu) This is my other roomate.

Mizu: Hiya! The name's Mizu!

Alex: Ah, uhh, like I said, I'm Alex.

Zeva: Lewis, Mizu, and Alex? Nice to meet ya.

Carol: Same here! Name's Carol. The one on my shoulders is Z, and I assume you already met Melia.

Amelia: Well, it's Amelia, but I guess that works.

And so the 7 all introduced themselves to one another and decided together to go and have lunch in the school's food court.
