:digi sits quietly in his own quarters after having repeatedly tried to connect to the extranet through various means with no success. Acutely aware of the time and his schedule, he rises to his feet a split second before the bells start chiming and walks to the map pinned to the bulletin board, studying it. He shuts his door and then walks out into his classroom. All of the Acacynian posters have been removed and replaced with multiverse standard library posters. He stares at one of Nicol Bolas as a mere legendary creature and smirks:
I didn't get anywhere I am today without reading either, Nicky.
...Wait a minute, how did a bunch of s get in here?
The students, faculty, and staff (many still groggy from getting less than eight hours of respite) emerge from their dorms and slowly shamble toward the cafeteria. As they rub the sleep from their eyes, they are guided toward their destination by the aroma of..."
Mystery sighs and follows her groggy cellmate. She's used to sleeping only about 4 hours a night, so she feel her usual annoyed self. "The air is stale here."
Tamara: " 'Cephalid Breakfast' sounds erm interesting. Though my folks always tell me to try new things. *chuckle*" *to Mystery* "Hi, I'm Tamara Endrys. Are you and Jerrica friends?"
The line creeps along as Gertrude and the rest of the meal staff gleefully dish out ladlefuls of an odd concoction that resembles quiche.
Candice creeps up to the group, her hair and uniform looking somewhat unkempt.
Candice:*yawn* "What's up, roomie? You excited about that assembly thing?"
Candice: "I've been feeling groggy for the past few months: even when I go to bed extra early I still wake up tired. Maybe I'll feel better once I get some sugar into my system."
Gertrude the Lunch Lady: "Cephalid can't be found 'round these parts, they're one a them fancy imported delicacies. Chow down!"
*serves each of them a lump of Cephalid quiche with panache.*
The group takes up residence at one of the vacant tables and begin to partake of Cephalid quiche, various breakfast side dishes, and whatever tasty beverage they opted to drink.
Candice: "For scholarly crustaceans, Cephalid make for a pretty tasty meal." *OM NOM NOM!*
As they are served their morning meals, the student body form into various groups and cliques who each lay claim to their preferred corners of the cafeteria. Some are new students who cling together while established social circles reunite after the brief semester break. The countless conversations taking place within these walls meld together into a sound like a babbling brook.
Tamara: "It's...certainly unlike anything I've ever tasted and coming from Ravnica I've tasted a lot."
As the group takes in the last bites of their breakfast, a coterie belonging to the 'Future Cathars of Thraben' cut a path through the throng. Its members, dressed in their military-styled uniforms casually glance at the seated group as they march pass the table.
"What an odd bunch."
"Why does that one have pointy ears?"
"And is that one...GLOWING?"
"This requires further investigation."
"Cut the chatter, you two! We need to prepare for the opening ceremony."
Tamara: "I don't like the way those boys were looking at me." *her elf ears lower*
Candice: "I heard from some upperclassmen that the Future Cathars of Thraben's (F.C.T.) ranks spiked last semester when the new chancellor took office and recruits continue to pour in."
*An announcement is made over the campus's intercommunication system*
Unknown Speaker: "The inaugural assembly will commence in twenty minutes. Please proceed to the Grand Cathedral."
...OK, maybe I should think of a different string of words, but it is (essentially) what Aurora wants everyone to think she's doing.
"And the first assembly of the semester is about to begin... we should start heading over. Hopefully this assembly will tell us more about what goes on around here."
I didn't get anywhere I am today without reading either, Nicky.

Tamara: "So you're Candy? Nice to meet you, I'm Tamara Endrys, Jerrica's roommate."
*they shake hands, then Tamara turns toward Mystery*
"I still didn't get your name..."
*picks up her beverage of choice and moves toward the empty table*
Candice: "You're certainly fond of abbreviated names. So, 'Lulu' and 'Jerr' let's go meet 'Tam' at the table." *chortle*
