New Arrivals For Students: It's because this is a Silver Court function that the school nurse has even bothered to come out of his office. Well, that and to get a look at all the students about to start their journeys. First steps into this world are often wobbly.
He's not about to take a novice. He rarely does. But he is about to go on ahead and try to learn every new face he can. It's only right to know who is who among this new flock of ducklings.
"Hello and well met. I am Halsin. I hope your studies here will lead you to great discoveries."
For teachers The Becoming is always a bit of a nostalgia trip. The large man watches over the group like a proud father, a small cup of blood tea in his hand. As becomes tradition, he enjoys making little wagers about which courts will take which hopeful.
"A week of substitute teaching says that this is Silver Court's year."
Autumn Nox No lecture series is complete without the most awkward class in the world. "Your changing body and you". It's the puberty talk. Only it's about the first year of Becoming. What to expect. What to worry about. At the front of the class is a walking barn on a man, his hair tied back in a mess of braids and piled in a bun. He's just finishing up. "Now, these new urges you feel may scare you but know that your nature is changed. These new urges are completely normal and you should not shy from exploring these new instincts, just as nature intended. And if you feel they are too much, do not hesitate to come to my office and speak to me about them. I want nothing more than your success in this new life." He pauses for a smile and concludes. "Any questions."
Pumpkins No. Nononono. Of all the times... [The words are a near bear-like growl from what is usually such a gentle giant. It's rare to see Halsin angry. Annoyed, yes, but angry. It is just not something the school nurse cares to feel. And right now, Halsin is utterly pissed off. There's a sound deep in his chest that could have come from one of the Blue Court about to change. No change happens. It never has for him.
He still snarls at the vines and pumpkins that have all but blocked him from what he considers his realm. The nurse's office and the small sleeping chambers beyond are his. His territory. And he can't get to it to hide after too much socializing.]
I told them! I told them my office was off limits! [He has no weapons, so there's just a very big, very angry vampire tearing at vines with his hands, trying to clear a door to get inside.]
Library "Do not worry. I will catch you " He promises. He's seen someone climbing something dangerous to get to a book. His initial instinct had been to yell. To tell them to get down. But they're already up there. So all he can do now is stand under them in case they fall.
Later Halsin can be found being put to work shelving books. His height is an advantage here and he's been instructed to shelve the top most tomes. Mostly because the Librarian terrifies him just a little and he'll do whatever the Silver Court Elder tells him to.
[Unethical experiments] He absolutely cannot and will not go down there. Doing so would break his heart and make him ill. But he can also not ignore it. So, instead, Halsin can be found, looking decided pale, hands shaking a little, staring at a spot on the wall, wincing every time the door opens and the sounds come from below. He sits huddles at the top of the stairs, hugging his knees to his chest. At his feet is a veritable treasure horde of medical supplies. Bandages and sutures, ointments and salves. There are even bags of blood, sitting in a warmer to keep them fresh. He's there. He's there just in case something goes terribly wrong and he has to go and help keep the Final Death at bay.
If he sees any students coming, he'll simply mutter from his sad little spot on the floor. "Don't go down there. It's not for you." He won't stop them of course. There's others down below that will. It's not his job. His job is to make sure all the scholars that came here left in one piece.
