Today, Beacon Hills High School prepares to welcome a new student! The halls buzz with rumors and gossip. She is the first new student they've had in years. Their sleepy little town could use some fresh meat, and who am I, the humble Narrator, to judge?
Welcome to Beacon Hills, Robin!

You may attend gym, class, or lunch!
All three occur at the same time, twice a day.

You will simply arrive at class if you select class!
Class is where you go to study things that human schools care about.

She knows some people who would find this explanation both funny and entirely correct.
"Alright, I choose class." She steps out into the hallway. Is there anyone around who can help her get to the room where they study things human schools care about?

After Allison leads you to your next class, you find yourself standing in the doorway. She has already gone inside to sit, leaving you to contemplate who you would like to meet today. There are a number of students inside, most of whom you don't recognize.

Kira Yukimura, shy but friendly, is a wonderful person if you're looking for a low-stakes interaction- as long as you don't mind a little awkwardness on her part!

Hayden Romero gives you a curious glance. More than most students, her first step on meeting a new person is to size them up.

More choices, ok.
A local alpha? She hadn't known there was more than one pack in Beacon hills. That sounds like it must be a complicated situation. It also sounds like something she would maybe like to avoid for now?
A little low-stakes interaction would probably be nice right about now, honestly. She sits by Kira.
"Hi, I'm Robin, I'm new," she says.

"It's been okay overall - everyone has been very nice, but I miss home. Where did you move from?"

"We're originally from New York! Not originally originally, I mean, my mom's Japanese and my dad's Korean. I wasn't born in New York either, and my mom actually lived in California when she was younger for a while, so I guess more recently than originally. What about you?"

"Kettering, Ontario. It's a small city about an hour's drive from Toronto in good traffic. I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of it," she adds with a laugh.

"No, I haven't. I don't know about Canada, although I really should. It's right next door! You probably know so much more about America than we know about you."
knot-in-the-wood
"I guess? I definitely can't name all the states, or anything - which I guess might be a problem!" She laughs sheepishly, "Hopefully the teachers give me time to get caught up in all the America-specific history and geography." If that's even the sort of thing that will come up in the romance game version of class.

"That's one of them, yep! There's ten, and three territories. I can name... uh, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Kansas, Virginia... well, more American states than that, anyway, I don't want to just sit here listing them out!"
messenger_of_death
"Sorry! I didn't mean to make this into a competition about geography! I think I know a little more about history because I was always interested in mythology growing up. Modern geography never really made the list of stuff younger Kira wanted to read."
knot-in-the-wood
"Oh no, me neither! I just wasn't even sure how many I knew, and started counting them out because it seemed like an interesting question, but then the list got too long, and-" she shakes her head, "Sorry. Geography isn't really my thing either. What kind of mythology do you like?"
messenger_of_death
"I was really into Greek mythology as a kid. Something about how realistic the motivations were, you know? I mean, I like to think people are better than that, but still, it didn't seem all divine and out of reach of us. After that I actually got really interested in Buddhism for a while, which isn't a mythology. Some of it has mythology, I guess, but I think that's insensitive to say about religions that people still believe in. No offense. Not that I'm assuming you're Buddhist, that would be kind of weird to assume since it's not that common in Canada, right?"
knot-in-the-wood
"I'm not sure," she considers, "Probably no more common than it is in the US," she decides.
"Legends and myths are definitely fun, though. I used to pretend I was a dryad when I was a kid. There was an oak tree in my backyard and I'd climb all over the branches and put the leaves in my hair - it drove my grandparents crazy."

"I never used props when I pretended to be a fairy, but I did sometimes pretend to be a kappa. My mom didn't like that one as much, since I always got water on the floor."
knot-in-the-wood
"Are they the ones with the water in their heads?" She asks, vaguely remembering reading about them once.
