Mara blushes a bit at all the encouragement she's getting, rubbing her arm as the averts her eyes. "Th-thanks... just, you know. Turn them away." She laughs slightly. "While I might LOVE to punch them and watch them get punched, they'd probably sue you for assault, and use it against me as well." She shrugs lightly, before nodding to Greta in thanks.
...Well, so far today's been turning out great! She hasn't been shunned, other than warping a doorknob or two she hasn't broken anything, and her body hasn't done anything incredibly weird! Alright, this is good! This is good. ...Or at least not-bad. Now if only she could start earning some money to FIX her stupid body, everything would be just glorious.

Chii nods when she is addressed as a demon by Ms. Van Hout, but stays quiet, not wanting to interrupt Mara. To be fair, she doesn't think she's ever met a dryad before, either.

"Oh I brought a console and some games with me, nothing too spectacular. Grab a controller, play off" She replies as she sets her bag on one of the couches, before plopping down herself.

The comment about magic sticks with Xue more than the rest of the moment. The cyborg patiently turns the comment over a few times before responding, "I do not have any magical prowess to speak of. That is not to say it is unknown to me." The others are moving. Not necessarily fraying in their own directions, but certainly no longer at the same abrupt attention as they once were. For now that was enough, and time enough to grab something to drink. Xue Fang begins to splinter off towards the refreshments. Time for a bottle of water.

Greta looks over to Nikki, and motions for the fellow Dryad to come towards her. She looks towards the rest of the group, and speaks loudly. "Now...the main thing I want you to do is stick with each other, and try to gain a rapport, get to have people to rely upon. The reason the Community is so important is just that, it creates a community. And, having that on this campus will help. Now, once you all are ready and want to talk, I can explain a bit more about safe havens, and also bring up a list of people we need to contact. A few people didn't show up..."

"A couple people didn't reach the college ? That's not good... do you know about the neighbourhood's... opinion about non humans miss ?" Robin asks Greta, a hint of concern audible in her voice as she asks, getting up from the couch already.

Greta laughs, a barking, short laugh completely at odds with her demeanor. "No, no! Not what I meant. I just meant they skipped out on this meeting. They're not in danger or anything. I just mean, when you're not hanging out with people, we can talk over these two things. For now, go! Enjoy. Be youthful. I'll watch you."
She makes a shooing gesture, and sits down, muttering something to herself. "'My shoes are too tight, but it does not matter, I have forgotten how to dance...'"

"I... am confused."
Xue Fang blinks a bit and uncaps her water. "Are we... going now, or still in the introduction phase... or dancing... or what?" She takes a swig of her drink and looks around once again.

Greta sighs. "You can all commence with hanging out with each other, as you children do. If you do not wish to 'hang out' I can give you a few tasks. Xue, I take it you aren't used to making friends?"
She looks over a sheet, and makes a small note. "Xue...I challenge you to gain at least one Companion who would be willing to fight by your side, within the next hour."
(FATE POINT OFFER!: Compel on "ON my honor, I must accept your challenge!")

There's an eye twitch. Followed by an uncomfortable shiver. Right. A challenge. Hngh. Well then. Fine. Companion. Fighting companion. Sure. That doesn't seem too bad. Alright. ... right... Ngh. Xue takes a look at the others in the room. Who would be most likely to go into a fight with her... hm. The robot doesn't seem to want to fight. Though that Nikki person seemed amiable to violence. At least if it was in self defense or seemed to be justified. That'll do in a pinch. Alright. Gain a companion. Xue Fang takes her bottle of water - and goes up to Nikki: "I am Xue Fang. Would you be willing to enter a mutual defense compact for the the betterment of our health in case of assault?"

Nikki noticed her fellow dryad had motioned for her to come over. She was actually feeling a bit nervous, but worked to keep up her tough girl act. She had no intention of looking weak; she refused to look weak. But she had to answer the teacher as well. Nikki approached Greta, and asked "You wanted to see me, ma'am?"

Robin grins in amusement at the unfolding scene, relaxing as she was clarified about the condition of the other students. She sat down on the couch again and rests one of her arms on the armleaning, now this was getting interesting, supposedly, special kind of people required special treatment. Their dryad professor definately knew what she was doing.

Greta point to Xue, who is standing right behind Nikki, clearly resisting the urge to giggle.

In her line of work, Xue is used to not being seen. Sometimes her abilities impress even her. Apparently now, even speaking, standing in a lit room, she was invisible. Truly her wushu was the best. "Do we have an accord for the mutual protection against our individual destruction?"

Chii decides to follow the instructions of the teacher and 'hang out'... though it takes her a moment to figure out exactly what the teacher means. 'Talk to each other for a bit and maybe make friends' seems to be close enough, though. Noticing that the teacher is talking to a couple of others, she turns and walks towards Mara. The mechanical person does seem like she could use some friends, moreso than lawyers certainly.
"So,...uhm...what...hobbies? do you like?"
