Who: The Chitoku inaugural class.
Where: Chitoku campus, various locations.
When: Sunday, April 3, 2022, two days before the start of spring term.
What: The school has opened its doors.


After eight years of careful planning and preparation, the campus of Chitoku Academy for the Gifted was coming alive at last. Helpful staff members had been posted everywhere in anticipation of the crowd, and seemingly every variable had been accounted for in order to make the move-in and initial orientation go as smoothly as possible...

Save, that is, for the weather.

The sky had just opened up on several hundred students and their families. Boxes and suitcases were being hastily hauled to whatever shelter could be found, with the aforementioned helpful staff members now acting as guides to the most convenient locations, and clusters of people seemed to naturally form around them, waiting for the downpour to slacken so the day could proceed.

"Just in time!"

"What is with this weather?"

"Let's see, room 418..."

"Oh! You too? Looks like we're roommates, roommate!"

"..."

The luckiest of the crowd had been fortunate enough to be near the dormitories when the storm hit, and the lobbies of the two buildings quickly filled with people and luggage with varying degrees of saturation. While some immediately left to unpack and put this whole sorry business behind them, others hung around to socialize and get acquainted with their future fellow residents.

CAFETERIA

"Man, this place is so rich, you'd think they'd feed us better..."

"Don't talk about our school like that!"

"I'm not going to argue with free."

The central location and the lure of refreshments intended for later orientations made the student cafeteria the preferred source of shelter for many. Some poor administrator had already been dispatched there to apologize profusely for the inconvenience and offer assistance or compensation to whoever might request it.

GYMNASIUM

"This place is huge!"

"I bet they could do, like, Defense Force drills in here if they wanted to."

".. This is way too clean for a gym. It's weirding me out."

The school's athletic complex was slightly more out of the way, but its size allowed it to handle the overflow that the other meeting areas couldn't. With the rest of the complex besides the main arena closed off, there was little to do bit sit and chat until conditions improved.
