Welcome Assembly

[Emily!]

The Welcome Assembly will be held here, Monday, August 16 at 8PM.

[Emily!]

Headmistress Maria walked into the empty Auditorium, her speech in her hand. She began looking over various things; the microphone and speakers, that she and Annabella would have everything they needed, etc. while she waited.

[Maryam!]

Headmistress Annabella walked in through the double doors and saw Maria on the stage setting things up. "Good evening, Maria," she greeted, walking up the steps onto the stage.

[Emily!]

"Good evening, Annabella," Maria greeted her co-headmistress. "All prepared?" she asked her, remembering how she was still working on her speech the night before.

[Maryam!]

"Oh, yes, I should think so," Annabella said, taking a seat on one of the two chairs they had set out. "And yourself?"

[Emily!]

"Yes," the Headmistress said. "The speech never really changes that much year to year, after all. I only needed a little tweaking for this one." She sat down next to Annabella and they waited for the students to arrive.

Lia entered the auditorium, looking around for a seat. She choose one near the back of the hall and sat down. She adjusted the sleeves of her dark sweater and waited for the assembly to begin.

[zesend]

Hearing the intercom announce that it was time for the welcome assembly, Zesend sighed exasperatedly and headed toward the auditorium. The students were steadily flooding in, eager to either get this over with or actually pay attention; either way, they were there. Zesend settled in a seat near the middle, mainly for a sense of anonymity.

[Vergil von Wulf]

Vergil climbed off of Mykel's back by unlatching his legs from his waist and hopping off lightly onto the floor when their ride from the dorms to the auditorium came to an end. He placed a thankful arm on the older boy's and they both seated themselves anywhere available.

[Mykel Rahs]

Mykel grinned and hugged Vergil lightly. "No prob, kiddo." He said softly, curling into his seat next to the freshman.

[Maryam!]

Headmistress Annabella walked up to the podium and waited for the students to settle down. Once the conversations had died down, she adjusted her glasses,"Welcome to a new year at Oceanside School for the Gifted. I'm Headmistress Annabella, if any of you need to contact me you have my number posted in your common rooms. Now, I hope you all enjoyed your vacation and are prepared for the new school year", she paused,"Or as prepared as you can be. Now, Headmistress Maria is going to be giving you some information about the school."

[Emily!]

Headmistress Maria thanked Annabella and walked up to the microphone. She cleared her throat and began, "Oceanside School for the Gifted is a school for particularly gifted young adults," she told them," And we're not just talking gifts in mathematics or art," she laughed. " Every single person on this campus has a gift. An ability. Something that makes them..." She paused for effect," super." She smiled out to the students.

Samantha chose a seat, and listened to the headmistresses. She couldn't wait for classes to start. She looked as HM Maria went on stage.

[Vergil von Wulf]

Vergil put both hands on the tome that rested on his lap and wriggled in his seat a little out of anticipation. The first time seeing both Headmistresses wasn't.. intimidating because they felt firm but kind, and passionate, but it was a bit overwhelming. There was a lot of obvious respect for them radiating in the room.

[Mykel Rahs]

Mykel touched his bracelet lightly, sparks dancing over the stones. His necklace glittered with sparks as well, and he sat up a tad straighter when the headmistresses appeared and spoke.
