Life in Neighpon/Japony (less-formal sign-up)

[Tezaku]

i'm here to learn some spells at the school, and to see i have the "gift" the uh, what was it, the...Kokoro No Tamago?

The filly giggles.  "Tadase-kun, always recruiting new student council members, ne?  You'll find Hotori-san in the special Council Garden at the other side of that building over there."

She pointed at an open gate with some Japony letters on it, and slightly broken Equestrian denoting "Vegetable Senate".

He could faintly hear a cat-like nyan~ from the shadows somewhere overhead, but there didn't seem to be anything there.

Thank you he heads to special council garden around the building

[PPBG]

The officer nodded uneasily.  "If you need any help, just ask at any Koban.  We're here to help.  A good evening to you, then."

His job technically finished, the officer returned to his paperwork.  A few minutes later an elderly mare came by and began asking some personal advice on one thing or another, and he gently took her aside for a bit of privacy as he assisted her in what way he could.

Kyslu flashed the officer a smile of thanks, and then he walked out the door. Once outside he looked around, perhaps for other dragons to make easy conversation with, while also gazing at the new scenery.

[the dark gods]

"San... water."

The flower sprouted a bit of liquid that could pass as water as it danced around and formed figure-eights in a ring about the plant.

"Shi: fire."

His voice suddenly came with confidence, as though this part was by far the most practiced part of his routine.  The flower and metal and water were consumed with a giant fireball, water boiling and plant turning to ash as the metal glowed white-hot and shaped into a delicate dragon shape.

A student at the side nodded, muttering something about "That's Kayagi-kun all right" before being tapped gently on the head by an instructor.  From what little Japony that Physics understood, Ka meant fire and Yagi meant goat.  It was probable that this particular student had quite a bit of innate talent in fire-related magic which compensated for his... poor performance with other elements.

"Go: Earth."

The flames died- reluctantly, it seemed, as ash and steam and molten metal cooled and combined into hard stone and gravel and sand, which then turned back into a ball of energy between the goat's forelegs and flowed back into his body.

There was a bit of quiet applause as the student bowed uncertainly to the Grandmaster, who gave him a reassuring smile and motioned for the next student.

As Kayagi leaves, Physics gives rather loud applause compared to the others, somewhat out of pity for the goat, but mostly for being a pyromaniac himself. Physics continues watching, levitating his note-book and pencil back down so he could see what he was writing as he watched.

[The Wandering Magus]

Thank you he heads to special council garden around the building

The garden is rather small, since space is limited in such a crowded city, but well-kept and tidy.  The pony could hear voices coming from an open veranda up ahead, the greenhouse sparkling in the warm glow of the lighting.  This might be the student council referred to.

Kyslu flashed the officer a smile of thanks, and then he walked out the door. Once outside he looked around, perhaps for other dragons to make easy conversation with, while also gazing at the new scenery.

As before, the streets were crowded with all manner of pedestrians and vehicles.  The katana-wielding mecha bowed slightly as he exited as the officer riding it smiled in a friendly manner.  He could see dragons overhead heading about their business or playing some game with the local magical students and pegasi.

The next student was a mid-ranking student, grave and focused but not completely carefree like the filly or nervous like the goat.  He stood at attention and bowed low to the Grandmaster, who nodded back.

"Form three: Aurora."

There was little fanfare as the student's uniform shimmered into a modest traditional colt's kimono with a small knot in the back.  He rose up on his hind legs and balanced expertly as he worked his front legs.

"Ichi.  World's Shield."

A shimmering force-field appeared around him, curving inwards at his head and where his hind legs were.  It wasn't too amazing or shock-and-awe, but very practical in combat situations.

"Ni.  Star's Light."

Beams of energy streamed from the middle of the shield along the curves, building in strength as they spiraled about quickly and fluidly.

As soon the cherry blossoms showed up, Moon stopped and just admired their beauty.
"Night, look!" she said but her worlds didn't reach her sister from the loud music. Moon though didn't took her eyes off the blossoms and started to shake her head in tact with the music.
Night was raving the cloud floor with some improvised dance moves.

The solo went on as ponies, robots, goats and spirits all participated in the energetic dance, some incorporating other's movements into their own and some making impressions of the guitar player onstage, with varying degrees of success.

After some time, the solo wound down, and the crowd began organizing itself again.  Someone began waving a glow-stick back and forth in wavelike motions, and others began imitating her.  The music went quiet, until only the voices of the thousands of fans and the filly onstage could be heard as the light from the sticks rippled like waves on a seashore to the acapella "La lala la lalala~" of the group.

A building tension, and then a drop as the entire band kicked back in, with all the singers onstage and the crowd going wild with the last chorus.  Holographic fireworks and real confetti rained all over the stage and onto the audience as the music shook the city's heart and fans of all ages and backgrounds were united in the universal theme of the song.

[Night Pony]

Night and Moon enjoyed the showed until the big drop when they went crazy along with the rest of the crowd.

Kyslu flew up and joined the other dragons. He simply spectated at first. He didn't see oriental dragons often, since he usually traveled with a western/Equestrian clan. (<draconic>Hmmh. That's nice, that we aren't feared here...</draconic>)

[Tezaku]

that must be it he heads towards the greenhouse

[the dark gods]

Physics nods and writes the motions, words, and effects down, making detailed notes. He decides it would be better to find a official member of this school first so he could sign up.
With one eye he looks for a pony, or whatever species, that looked to be a member of the group, though one that wasn't on stage and performing, and watching said performance with his other eye.

[The Wandering Magus]

that must be it he heads towards the greenhouse

A tiny, hoof-sized alicorn with an oversize head and chubby body teleports in front of him, tilting her head and blinking before SCREAMING "NEWCOMER!!"

About a dozen little alicorns all fly from corners, and many from the pavilion, to see the stranger as four normal-sized ponies walk up with intrigued faces, all wearing school uniforms and the Student Council cloak.

"Calm down, everypony, it's probably a guest," said a blonde colt, smiling.  "Konbanwa.  How might I help you?"

A long dragon with a proud but kindly face flies up (without wings), hovering in midair as she inspects him.  "<draconic>A good evening to you, stranger, and well-met.</draconic>"  She bows deeply to him, and other spirits turn and pause their various errands to bow to the newcomer.

A mid-ranking student is standing at attention to the side of the room nearby, apparently there for any guests who had questions afterwards.

"San.  Heavenly Crown, Aurora!"

The energy explodes upwards and downwards in a crown-shape, the edges like daggers as the "aurora" spun in a manner that would both defend the student and destroy an opponent in a real scenario.  The flaming tongues of rainbow light slowly flowed back to the student, around the shield and down to his hooves, dissipating back into his body as the shield collapsed back into his body.

Night and Moon enjoyed the showed until the big drop when they went crazy along with the rest of the crowd.

The music finally ended with a bang and a loud roar as every goat, pony, robot and spirit on and around the stage just about shouted the last few words of the song, the electric guitar finishing its final chords and stopping in perfect synchronization with the drums.  All the singers onstage bowed as the audience gave a standing ovation; the filly in particular bowed low enough that her artificial mane nearly touched the stage.

"Thank you all for having attended this concert!  This showing was sponsored by..."

The announcer listed off a number of charitable organizations and Zaibatsu, and started on a small advert about donations to charities as the audience picked up items to leave or went forward to take pictures and get autographs from the singers onstage.

[the dark gods]

Physics finds the students and focuses on the area, teleporting himself, along with his note-pad and pencil too. As he reappears infront of the student he give a quick bow. Forgive my sudden intrusion, but is there anyway for me to join up in this magic class? Physics asks. After the performance of course... Physics adds on, trying to not be rude to the students.

[Night Pony]

Night and Moon collapsed on the cloud having used all of their energy in the last song.
"That was awesome."
"I can't talk. Too tired." they said with heavy breathing between the words.

[Tezaku]

i'm here to learn some spells at the school, and to see i have the "gift" the Kokoro No Tamago, if that's alright

The colt blinked, then LOOKED at him, as though he was seeing something that could not normally be seen by the naked eye.

"The Heart's Seed?  Perhaps you might.  What do you think, Kiseki?"

An authoritative little alicorn who looked remarkably like the blonde colt flew forward and stared at where the new pony's heart would be.

"Faint, but it's there.  There is potential, and even though it hasn't hatched yet, it never died in him, Tadase."

The colt, apparently Hotori Tadase-san, nodded seriously and looked Tezaku in the eye.

"It takes more than just potential to join the Student Council, though."

"He's not asking to join the council," said a prim-looking filly as she sipped a cup of tea.  "All he asks for is instruction, correct?"

Physics finds the students and focuses on the area, teleporting himself, along with his note-pad and pencil too. As he reappears infront of the student he give a quick bow. Forgive my sudden intrusion, but is there anyway for me to join up in this magic class? Physics asks. After the performance of course... Physics adds on, trying to not be rude to the students.

The student bowed back, speaking quietly.  "Indeed, sir, although the Master will need to test your magical aptitude and current ability first.  If you could stay after the performance, I can speak to him for you.  There's a few forms that might have to be filled, liabilities and mutual agreements and promises and such, but the process should go quickly, sir."

He reached into a small cubbyhole along the wall and pulled out a piece of paper written in Japony and (thankfully) Equestrian.

Night and Moon collapsed on the cloud having used all of their energy in the last song.
"That was awesome."
"I can't talk. Too tired." they said with heavy breathing between the words.

The singers onstage were giving out autographs as their fans came and went, those with flying or teleporting ability taking the quick way and others filing along in lines to exit.  All about the other ponies were also chatting about the concert and their thoughts and opinions of the performance.

[Night Pony]

Moon crawled to the edge of the cloud.
"Hey look the singers are giving autographs. Want to get one?"
"Not really. We've been to only one concert. And besides we don't have anything to have them sign." Night said while crawling also to the edge of the cloud.

[the dark gods]

Physics quickly reads over the forum, seeing that there wasn't any insane things he needed to sign, he didn't want to sign himself into slavery or anything of the like. Physics starts filling out his name on the dotted lines, before hoofing the forum back to the student.
So should I talk to the master after this, or what? Physics asks the student, a slightly confused look on his face.

[Tezaku]

The colt blinked, then LOOKED at him, as though he was seeing something that could not normally be seen by the naked eye.

"The Heart's Seed?  Perhaps you might.  What do you think, Kiseki?"

"Faint, but it's there.  There is potential, and even though it hasn't hatched yet, it never died in him, Tadase."

The colt, apparently Hotori Tadase-san, nodded seriously and looked Tezaku in the eye.

"It takes more than just potential to join the Student Council, though."

"He's not asking to join the council," said a prim-looking filly as she sipped a cup of tea.  "All he asks for is instruction, correct?"

ace nodded yes

[The Wandering Magus]

ace nodded yes

The prim filly smiled triumphantly at Hotori-san, who glared back at her before turning to Ace.  "How much do you know about the Guardian Characters and the Heart's Seed?"

The student nodded as another performer took to the mat.

"The demonstration should not take too long, and the Master will see you as soon as it ends."

*****

Several more students stood and did their routines, culminating with an awesome maneuver by a high-ranking student that seemed to warp the very fabric of reality by the time it was finished.  With quiet applause, the forms were finished, and the Master walked over to the guest.

"My student says you come for instruction?"

Moon crawled to the edge of the cloud.
"Hey look the singers are giving autographs. Want to get one?"
"Not really. We've been to only one concert. And besides we don't have anything to have them sign." Night said while crawling also to the edge of the cloud.

Fillies, colts, kids and spirits of all ages took pictures with and talked to the singers, especially Hatsune Miku, the teal-maned robot filly.  The colt she had danced with tossed a bunch of souvenir keychains into the air for fans to grab; some of them went quite high, and a few passed quite close to the cloud Night and Moon were on.

[Tezaku]

The prim filly smiled triumphantly at Hotori-san, who glared back at her before turning to Ace.  "How much do you know about the Guardian Characters and the Heart's Seed?"

i don't know much really

[Night Pony]

Both ponies managed to catch a souvenir with their magic.
"What's this?" Night asked and they looked at them more closely.

[the dark gods]

Physics gives a nod to the master to indicate his answer. Indeed I do. Physics says, also giving verbal conformation to his answer. The show, it amazed me, and I wanted to be able to do something like it. Physics tells the Master, before bowing to him. And I would be honored to work under you. Physics says.
