Vegetable Guru's (Call me Okra!) arrival

Sorry, I'm not availabletherealfloogy

Vegetable Guru's hair was slicked back, although such a look wasn't intentional for him. It had a lot to do with how he had arrived at the school; he ran the entire distance at a speed faster than a normal human could. On his back he wore a large backpack filled with who-knows-what. At the moment, he was looking at a desk person in front of him with a very annoyed expression. This had to do with the fact that the person was laughing.

"Yes ha ha I know Vegetable Guru very funny ha ha," Guru growled, barely keeping himself from lashing out, "It's not my fault. Look, just call me Okra, ok?"

The desk person coughed politely, "I'm sorry. It's just... anyway. You're here to sign up?"

"Yea."

"Ok... what're you looking to major in?"

"Art of fighting."

"Hmm... I'm sorry... it looks like we don't have anybody teaching that class right now. You'll just have to take some basic classes for now."

"Great," Okra said sarcastically.

"Like I said, I'm sorry. We can notify you of when we have a teacher. Where are you living?"

"Er... I was hoping you have some dorms?"

"Of course. It's two hundred yen a month."

"Yen?! I have ... a bit over four hundred dollars, not yen."

"I see. Hmm... well it's fifty dollars a month then."

"Fifty a month... jeez... and how much is the sign up fee?"

"In U.S. dollars... three hundred and fifty."

"What?!" Okra shouted, "I won't have enough money for more than a week of food!!"

"Well that's ok, we have some janitor openings if you're interested? Part of the money will automatically be set aside for tuition, room and board."

"I don't think I have much of a choice," Guru muttered, as he handed over four hundred, "Alright then, sign me up and give me my room key. And my mop too I guess while you're at it."

"You don't start you janitor job today. Your room mate-"

"Room mate?! You didn't say anything about that!"

"All that was covered in the rules, Ve-er, Okra. If you want your own room, you have to pay another 200 yen or fifty more dollars per month. Even if you had that money with you now, your job wouldn't be enough to cover it later on."

"Ok ok nevermind then. Who's my room mate?"

"Like I was going to say the dorm signups aren't finished yet, so that is yet to be determined. You'll start your janitor job tommorow. (Insert when school starts here, as I don't know hehe :p). You'll have a basic math, history, science, computer and english class until we can find a teacher for the Art of Fighting class. In the meantime, feel free to wander around. Oh, and here's your dorm key and... your schedule."

Guru accepted both items and started to walk down the halls of YUME. He wasn't in the mood to talk to anybody, so he sat down on a bench and pulled out his laptop computer. After turning it on, he started to play Doom(tm).

OOC: Since it looks like there's no art of fighting teacher yet, I was wondering if it'd just be some NPC or if somebody has to be the teacher? Also, as you can see Vegetable needs a room mate, so whoever wants to be Mr. Guru's room mate then feel free to just do it :-) First come first serve :p If nobody's interested, I guess I'd have to have an NPC Room mate ^^;
