Claire flinched and took a step back towards the door. "I-um.." she stammered before he phone rang. At Violets outburst she jumped and let out a whimper in surprise.

Emma studied Jamie's expression, dismissing the audible frustration in Jamie's voice, "I'll go put this in Remmy's bucket." She gripped the bucket firmly and walked off in the direction of Remmy's stall, B5. She knew, Remmy would prosper at anything related to jumping, she was the best around with no doubt and she was pretty sure the mare knew it. She glanced through an open window in a stall, out to where Gloria was stroking Remmy's nose. Racontuer, it's such a classy name for a petite mare; but it suites her well... She dumped the bucket of feed into her trough.

(Hey we could do *thinks* Flynn and Jace, if you want? THey're sharing a dorm) ((Don't know if this is still an option but if it is, I'm up for it. XD)) "Uh..." Drake fumbled around in first his pockets, then his backpack before he could fish out the piece of paper that had his dorm number on it. "B1R4." He finally stated.

Gloria smiled. "Hey girl," she said and held hr hand out for the horse. "Are you new here? You're a pretty girl," "Well.. " Claire said as she pulled out a flyer from her pocket. "I found a competition I want to enroll my students in. It's at the end of the year but it could be something to entice them to work hard all year. I can only enroll a maximum of eight riders." Remmy snorted, hesitating momentarily before allowing herself to stretch out. She let her nose drop into the hand and nuzzle it for a brief amount of time, before suddenly losing interest and turning her attention elsewhere.

Gloria pulled a carrot from her pocket. "Want some?" She asked softly

(Lol where are they getting all these carrots? Are they stealing from the kitchen? lol just had to say it! Sorry about last night, though, just totally passed out X3) Jamie watched Emma go, feeling overwhelmed for a short moment, and bad. Maybe he should have tried to argue with the Head Mistress more, try and get her to see reason? Sure, Remmy was eating up an expensive budget right now, but it was great experience for the students helping to train her, and she would be a wonderful asset as a show circuit horse for them throughout the years, especially for scholarship kids that couldn't afford top of the line show horses. If only Violet would see it their way...but to her, she had to focus on keeping the kids happy that could afford the school, in order to assist the other minority students at the academy- the scholarship students- in the long-run. And offering a wonderful top of the line show horse that had already began training and had wonderful pedigree, great potential? Well, it was exactly what most of the students were looking for. And with Remmy qualifying as a great Jumper, it gave her options outside of H/J as well, including Eventing and Stadium Jumping especially. If she was a Hunter...that may not have been the case.

Violet perched her lips as she got off her phone. "Can you do a favor?" She questioned Claire. "It'll help me get out of this mood I've been in," she added quickly. Sure, Claire was busy, clearly trying to finish up last minute aspects of her schedule...but they all needed to work together to keep the school running, and she hoped she would see that.

(Hey Blaze rp? if you want to pull Drake out we can have him meet Matt? Will be poofy, at work. Wish I didn't have to work! Two days left till weekend...) Violet told her, "They're having a calamity in the kitchen. One of our new hires did not show up, so they're short a cook and a hand- they just need someone to start setting the tables and then move the food in as it's finishing up, to get everything ready for dinner, basically. I'll send Wyatt over to help you too," she said, grabbing her cell to begin texting the Barn Overseer. Anything was their job if the Head Mistress said it was, even if it wasn't in the job description.

"yea, I would be happy to help. I'll get down there right away," Claire said and swiftly left the office.

(Lol we can always have them meet up real quick again at dinner!)
Matt was sitting in his room, laying on his bed looking at the ceiling. Soon, his roommate would arrive in the dorm, and fix up his side of the room. He stared somberly, listening to the people outside, the very faint noises from screams and yells, the running and playing. He had his window open, and was on the first dorm floor, so there was reason for it. Usually, the room would be so soundproof you could hear a pen drop. But it was the first day, after all, everyone arriving and having fun.
---
Wyatt was already in the kitchen when Claire arrived, and he was leaning on a wall not far from the kitchen. He half-smirked, half-smiled as the woman entered. "Violet said you was coming. You look like she chewed you out, that true?" he asked, noticing her expression with interest.

"she wouldn't even le the explain that I can't put it on the schedule yet because I plan to take only the best from my class..." Claire said with a sigh

((Fair enough. XD))
Drake managed to, uh, get directions and headed to his room. Finally, finally, he arrived and opened it up, poking his head inside and looking around before he caught sight of his roommate. "Hiya! I'm Drake, you must be... uh... the other person living in this room?" Yeah. That was a good introduction. Perfection. He slowly slid into the room with his somewhat beaten up suitcase and backpack, closing the door after him.

Wyatt grinned, and let out a friendly sigh, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "Hey, don't worry about it," he said. "You worry too much. She already knows. She's got that info in her head, and doesn't even listen if she's got it. She thinks it wastes her time. She worries too much. I told her to take a vacation this summer, do you think she did? Nah. She hasn't even ridden that dang stallion all summer. What's the use in having that thing? If you ask me, ain't no horse worth no million bucks. I'll pay a few hundred and be done, thanks," he chatted with her in a friendly tone.
---
Matthew chuckled. "Nah. I'm a stranger intruding. Thought I'd steal your stuff, which, for some reason, you're just now bringing in. Ya know. Normalcy," he joked, not getting up from the bed, but propping himself to get a good look at his new roommate. "Matt," he offered, extending his hand.

Wyatt's cheerful tone and talkative nature soothed Claire as she got to work. "She really does need a break..." She agreed softly

When you realize that if you had gone to work today, you would have only been there a half hour... I'm looking around and everything I've gotten done this morning and feeling so proud of myself)

((Glory, do you want to rp with me? XD))
Drake's eyes widened. "We could have brought our stuff in before?" He grinned and shook his new roommate's hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm guessing you've been here for a while?" He said with a laugh.

(Lol what? You would only be thee for an half an hour? What do you mean? And why aren't you there? I mean off day is always great tho!)
Wyatt kept his grin. "It'll get better. It's gonna be a good year. I mean, if we don't get kicked by Cowgirl," he said, reminding of his rotten new mustang filly, remembering her lunging at her stall door anytime someone would go by, scaring Claire once. He shook with laughter, still trying to bring Claire's spirit up as they grabbed the trays of plates from the kitchen to begin setting the tables.
---
Matt shrugged. "An hour or so. I kind of came to bring my stuff up figuring I'd organize and unpack later, but then got overwhelmed by all the crazy luxury here." The beds were high quality, the marble countertops in the bathroom were insane, and the oak desk and dressers? Wow. Not to mention everything outside the room. "I did want to take at least a little peek at the campus before dinner, we've got an hour, wanna come with?" he asked his new friend.

((Ahhh.... work. I wish I could go to my job for half an hour. XD Although the lack of money.))
"It is really nice." Drake said as he looked around at everything. Yep. Definitely a step up from what he was used to. At Matt's question, he nodded his head. "Yeah! Of course!" He quickly dropped his stuff on his bed, figuring that he could unpack and deal with it all later, and then looked out the window at the view. "So, uh, where do you want to head to first?"

Lol no. I clock on at nine and when I posted that it was nine thirty so I would have been there for a half hour so far. Out of the eight hours I'm normally there) And I got the day off so that I can do errands and whatnot)
Lol you pick!)
Claire glare at him playfully. "Don't laugh.. that was terrifying!" She said with big eyes. "I thought she was going to kill me!"

Oh how I hate picking... maybe I'll just use a generator thing? XD Hmm... Jace and Zo?
I think I'll make maybe a teacher and a trainer... but what to train... XD))

(OMG Lol I thought you meant you would only have gotten to be there for a half an hour! Lol that's different hehe)
Wyatt grinned. "She just might, now. I wouldn't put it past her. She has the devil in her, I'm telling ya," he explained, still chuckling as he placed plates on the tables as they walked by. "I'm terrified Kelly will hear that we're here and come talk to us for an hour- then we really won't be able to eat dinner on time!" he said more quietly now, looking around, speaking of the head cook who naturally had a chatty nature.
---
Matt shrugged, taking a look at the map he had been given when he arrived, to help the new students find their way around. "I'm an Endurance Rider, so I guess the English Barn. I've missed my horse," he finally added as they exited their room, closing it behind them, not bothering to lock it. "What discipline are you?" he asked, curiously. He hoped he wasn't some crazy bronc rider or steeplechaser or something.

((Jace is in eventing.))
"I'm a stock rider." Drake replied. He had spent a few years working on a ranch doing a lot of what stock riders did, so transferring that into competitions wasn't terribly difficult. "But I'm up for seeing the English barn. I'll check on my horse later." He said with a laugh. Although he did miss her, waiting a little bit wouldn't kill her... or him.

Matt grinned at Drake. "Awesome. What do you do in stock?" he wondered, not even entirely sure. "That's like...rodeo events, right? But you're not the guys on the bucking broncos?" he teased with a laugh as they entered the elevator at the end of the hall, taking the short trip down to the lobby floor. He eyed the crystal in the elevator buttons with enthusiasm. Gee, this place was fancy...

"I heard she wasn't planning to come back this year?" Claire asked quietly. "Did she change her mind or was it just a rumor?"
