Because who doesn't want a volatile magus in their school?

[Anyone around Smash Academy campus today may notice an unfamiliar face, idly wandering around the grounds and taking in her surroundings. She definitely seems to be either a new or potential student. Something of an odd one, at that, considering that she seems more interested in the buildings and students themselves than the fact that she appears to, at one point, have had a bucket full of blood thrown at her. Her oversized grey hoodie is spattered in it, and there's the remnants of a recent nosebleed still on her face.

Once she's made her way around the school, she stands in front of it for a while, wringing the ends of her sleeves in her hands and appearing deep in thought.]

I really hope this is as good of an idea as Ms. Usher thinks it is.

You're covered in blood! Are you alright?

[dontgetcarter]

Huh? Oh.

[She looks down at herself, like she'd honestly forgot.]

I'm fine! Most of this isn't even mine. [Pause while she realizes how terrible that sounds.] Oh, god, that sounds SO much worse than it is. Can we just both forget I said that?

[justluckyiguess]

[CARTER IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT but he'll let it slide]

... But, your nose. You're definitely okay?

[dontgetcarter]

[SHE KNOWS she's just going to agonize over that for a while.]

That's kind of par for the course, honestly.

I'm Carter, by the way.

[His face brightens.]

Ah, don't worry. I'm sure your luck will turn around, soon. Darkness always gives way to light, after all...

My name's Komaeda Nagito... although I suppose here, I would be Nagito Komaeda! I'm still getting used to it.

[dontgetcarter]

I hope you're right.

So, are you a student here?

a thousand years later

[justluckyiguess]

... I'm not a student, no. I guess I'm just visiting the campus. I don't know if they would let me in this school, my skills are hardly suited to such a place.

[a_propa_hat]

Oi, lil humie. You'z got a little blood on ya.

[dontgetcarter]

[Woah, what is... Even for someone as used to monsters and things as Carter has had to become, she still spends a few seconds just looking stunned.]

Okay, I know I haven't seen anything like you in any of my textbooks.

[Yes this is definitely an appropriate response. Good job Carter.]

[a_propa_hat]

Wot? [Uh oh.]

What's'at you never seen me in y'r books? [He reaches under his hat to scratch his bald, green head.]

Y'nev'ah heard of a pirate?
