[atrb=background,http://oi54.tinypic.com/348hnaw.jpg] Yes, I know her name is spelled wrong on the table. Siobhan walked down Shibusen's hallway, searching for her classroom. Her schedule said she was in Class Crescent Moon. She had already passed by Class Solar Eclipse and Class Glowing Sun, so maybe her classroom was next. She turned to her left and saw the sign. Here it, she thought. The room was large, with wooden bleachers and one small desk in the center of the class. A man with a screw in his head, who she assumed was her teacher, sat behind this desk. 'Siobhan Morgan. You have recently enrolled in the DWMA. You are a meister without a weapon. Please report to the Death Room.' The man handed her a slip of paper, and turned back to the class. Confused, Siobhan looked at the paper. Welcome to Death Weapon Meister Academy! As a recently enrolled student, you have yet to be assigned a partner. Please report to the Death Room to consult with Lord Death. She sighed, and walked out of the room, making sure to close the door behind her.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia, also new to the DWMA, wandered through the hallways of the atypical school, staring wanly at a piece of paper that she had received from a frightening-looking individual with a knob in his head. Welcome to Death Weapon Meister Academy! As a recently enrolled student, you have yet to be assigned a partner. Please report to the Death Room to consult with Lord Death. Daymia poured out some salt from a shaker in her pocket and reread the note. Assigned a partner? What does that mean?she thought, I heard we get to choose our partners...was I wrong?

[atrb=background,http://oi54.tinypic.com/348hnaw.jpg] Yes, I know her name is spelled wrong on the table. The death room surprised Siobhan. She had expected it to be a room, but in reality it was a...well, she wasn't sure. She could have sworn she was on an endless platform in the sky, what with the clouds and everything. The problem with this theory was the windows. Why would the sky have windows? She supposed such a strange room was fit for the person, or shinigami rather, that was in it. She had expected a grim reaper to have a deep, scary voice, but his was high-pitched and a bit squeaky. She supposed that she was just lucky he was friendly. Siobhan was shown out to the entrance to the school, fingering the nametag that labeled her as a meister pinned on her dress. She could see several other students, most of which were taller than her, who she assumed were also here to get a partner. Shinigami-sama had told her to look for a weapon, so look she did, although she wasn't sure what to look for. She could see several weapons, some just roaming around, others chatting with meisters. Siobhan knew she was good with a sword, but she wasn't sure how to tell what kind of weapon was which.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia wandered out of the Death Room, fiddling with her badge. WEAPON,it read. She noticed large groups of other weapons milling around with their respective meisters. Where was she supposed to find a meister? She hadn't heard anything about being assigned one.

[atrb=background,http://oi54.tinypic.com/348hnaw.jpg] Yes, I know her name is spelled wrong on the table. Siobhan heard footsteps behind her. A boy was walking towards her, with a weapon pin. He introduced himself as Stephen and asked what kind of meister she was. She politely responded in her lovely, yet somehow monotone, voice that she was a sword meister. He sighed, and informed her that he was a bow. She apologized, wished him good luck, and started searching for a weapon. She noticed a new girl who was slightly taller than her coming out to join the crowd. Maybe she was a sword. Siobhan made her way over to the girl, who, she noticed, looked very confused. "Hi, are you looking for a meister?" she asked, trying to sound sociable. This wasn't her strength, and she was sure she had failed miserably. At least, when she got her weapon, they would know part of her personality.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia nodded. "Yeah. Are you looking for a weapon?" she said, surprised at how she sounded. Usually, she was much more...happy. Ah, well, it must just be the stress of going to a new school. "Are you a sword meister...like, just, by the way. 'Cause I'm a sword."

[atrb=background,http://oi54.tinypic.com/348hnaw.jpg] Yes, I know her name is spelled wrong on the table. Siobhan's eyes lit up, and she was amazed with her luck. "Yeah, I'm a sword meister," she answered, thoroughly thrilled. She didn't want to get her hopes up, though, because her weapon couldn't be just any sword. She had to like the sword. Her sword had to be the sword. It had to be perfect. It had to work like a dream. It had to not be too heavy. It had to...Siobhan snapped back to reality. "Do you want to try fighting together?" she asked. If things didn't work out when they were fighting training dummies, they could both find someone else, not that she wanted to. The new girl seemed nice. Siobhan suddenly realized she didn't know her name, but she had already asked enough questions, and she didn't want to be annoying.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia grinned. "Sure!" Finally! She would be able to be someone's weapon. Her new possible meister seemed nice...a little quiet, but Daymia was fine with that. Abruptly she realized she had no idea what the girl's name was. "What's your name?" she asked.

[atrb=background,http://oi54.tinypic.com/348hnaw.jpg] Yes, I know her name is spelled wrong on the table. "I'm Siobhan," she answered, hoping her possible weapon would know how to spell it. Nobody seemed to know how. Even her dad had misspelled her name before. Although he might have just forgotten the last letter. He did that a lot. Returning to the present, Siobhan asked her acquaintance the same question. "What's yours?"

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia replied, "I'm Daymia." She looked around, realizing she had no idea where her possible meister--no, Siobhan--had meant when she said they had training dummies. Daymia didn't even know they had training dummies here, but now that she thought about it, she realized they'd have to. It was a school for weapons and meisters, after all. "Do you know where the training dummies are?"

[atrb=background,http://oi54.tinypic.com/348hnaw.jpg] Yes, I know her name is spelled wrong on the table. "Oh...I think they're near the nurse's office," answered Siobhan. She had seen them when she was touring the school, and it was a logical place for training dummies anyway, just in case training got a little too out of hand. Siobhan turned slightly and set off towards the nurse's office, hoping she was right about the training dummies' location, and gesturing for Daymia to follow her.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia froze. As she walked past the nurses' office, called the 'Dispensary' in this school, she saw--and this shocked her to her core--her devil sister, Jackie's, weapon, Sabrina, standing outside the nurses' off--no, the Dispensary, with her head in her hands. Daymia walked over to her. "What happened?"

[atrb=background,http://oi51.tinypic.com/2cdfklw.jpg] Sabrina looked up, hearing a familiar voice. "Daymia?" She was surprised to see her weapon's goody-two-shoes sister here. Who was she with, anyway? Sabrina thought she looked familiar...oh! It was the new girl, who had walked into their class earlier. "Jackie got hurt when we were fighting," she answered, feeling that Daymia, of all people, deserved to know.

[atrb=background,http://i56.tinypic.com/nld1di.png] Daymia gasped, numb with horror. "Oh my god! Is she OK?!" she demanded. She felt horrible, like she should have done something, but knew there was nothing she could do. It wasn't a nice feeling. She imagined her bratty half-sister lying on a bed, bleeding, and cringed. Even Jackie didn't deserve that.

[atrb=background,http://oi51.tinypic.com/2cdfklw.jpg] "Why would I know?" Sabrina replied "I haven't been in there." She was slightly annoyed. Why would she be sitting out in the hallway, waiting, if she already knew how Jackie was? Sometimes she wondered what went on in others people's minds.
