*Dell Conagher is sitting in a complex chair, taking a nap. the chair looks like its designed to fold up for easy storage, has a drink holder, & an umbrella to keep the sun out of his eyes*
*the land looks mish-mashed with various half-done building projects, and numerous complete buildings are also all around, including one with a big sign reading, 'workshop'. there is a lot with a sign that says, 'free housing'. several outhouse sized structures are all sticking up out of the ground by the sign. just big enough for a proper door & a mailbox to be fitted into them*

Esmeralda left quickly for she was getting tired. When she arrived at the Engineering Branch of the academy, she looked about to see a lot of partially finished things. Even though she did not like a lot of unfinished work laying around, she hunted for Dell Conagher. When she sees a man, she assumed that it was the one she was looking for.
"Excuse me but I am looking for Dell Conagher. I am new here and need a place to stay in. Would you be the person I am looking for?" she asked.
"Excuse me but I am looking for Dell Conagher. I am new here and need a place to stay in. Would you be the person I am looking for?" she asked.
{Dell} *lifts his head from its spot on the back of the chair* "yea. open housing is right by the sign. each place has a bedroom with closet, a bathroom with washing machine, a small livingroom with tv+dinning table, & a small kitchen. Its not much, uh, but it can be pretty homely. Paying or working Students can buy or build better places. And much, much better places can be built by a proper Engineer."
*the small buildings are probably a bit bigger on the inside*
"Guessin you're the new one around here?"
*the small buildings are probably a bit bigger on the inside*
"Guessin you're the new one around here?"
"Yes I am new. But I have no engineering skills nor do I have a job. Can I be trained to be an Engineer? I'll work really hard and do my best. " Esmeralda asked as she looked about the area for a new place that was good enough to stay in. She didn't want the roof to fall in on her or be blown up while cooking a meal.
{Dell} *more enthusiastically,* "Yea. The tools of the trade ain't to hard to use once you know what you're doing."
*all of the free housing buildings look about the same. there are no signs of structural weakness*
"The outside is only half the structure. Don't let its little look fool you. You'll find that its got decent space past the door frame."

"The outside is only half the structure. Don't let its little look fool you. You'll find that its got decent space past the door frame."
"Wonderful! I'll take this one and make it my home. May I go inside and put my satchel in there? What kind of currency is here? are there any stores nearby so that I can pick up some food?" Esmeralda was getting excited now.
{Dell} "Sure, make yourself comfortable. As for currency, we tend to either barter things out, use whatever form of currency you might have on ya if its backed well, or, probably the most convenient choice for someone who doesn't like to barter, Greed Credits. Currency Backed by a being who has made cash their whole thing. Oh, and Zahhak gives 'boons' to good students that can be turned in for prizes. if you like trinkety little things."
"as for a piping hot meal, the kitchen is stocked with a number of cheap options. And there's a convenience store of sorts available over in the Golemancy branch."

Esmeralda was starting to wonder if she should make a map as she stepped into the house.
"It seems to such a big place so I was wondering if there is such a thing as a map or not. Do you know of a map? If not, I'll make one as I go.. I am a very visual person.
Can I change the colors and furniture as I get enough money? I love earth tones.
It is very roomy and this kitchen is cute! So many things to eat. Thanks for the food. "

{Dell} *needing to get up out of his chair to walk with you to properly respond,*
"Well, between the housing here, the store over in Golemancy, and, hehe, the learning & working everywhere else, there's not to much to need a map for. Well, that and somethin that will likely be gone over in another class. Place is tricky to map out exactly. And as for colors, you can get color changing stuff as time goes on, customizeable to your liking."
*as of right now, the predominant color was Blue, with hints of yellow & white*
*everything some one needed to get by simply was here. but more lavish homes are sure to be a possibility if desired*

"Is there any possibility that in the future I could find a job here? If so, I will live in this one and build a new place as I learn the craft. So many possibilities and so many things to think about......." Esmeralda spoke as she opened the cupboards.
"Or may I enlarge this one?"
"Or may I enlarge this one?"
{Dell} "Well, if you want to expand on this one, it'd be preferred that we move it elsewhere first. that way its not in the generic lot with the others. And as for jobs, us teachers are nearly always able to give students tasks that fit their skill set. though if its a more consistent & reliable job you're looking for, then checking back outside the Tower might be a better bet."
"Hmmmmm..... I think that I will live here and build a new one else where or add onto another one. Education must come first.
Are pets allowed? " Esmeralda asked as she walked into the bathroom then the bedroom.
"I think that I will be happy enough here until I get enough skills learned to create a new home.
I will be with Rando in the morning but would you be able to start working with me in the late afternoons perhaps? Ans what kinds of basic classes do you offer?"

{Dell} "you could even find yourself a Dragon, so Long as it gets cared for properly. But We mean it. If there's a pet of any kind that's not being given the care & respect it deserves, We intervene."
"And I teach a few different types of engineering. tool creation, large-scale creation, materials engineering, & mundane engineering to name the most of it."
"It helps to start with a question, then a goal. then figure out what you need to learn from there."

"I was thinking of a bird or a very small dragon for a pet since I don't know anyone my age around here. I think that is all the questions that I have. At least for now." Esmeralda spoke.
(( Creatures from my group ok to have?))

{Dell} "Sounds good. But, uh, while the store may provide pet supplies, there's a couple animals that we don't 'keep in stock'. But Phi is great with finding and taming animals, so she should be your first stop for any specific type of animal."
"Alrighty then. Be leaving you be." *Dell leaves, leaving you to your home*
((that works well.
you've got a decent variety that'd be a shame to ignore))

Esmeralda waved bye and unpacked her things in her bedroom. She left her books in the satchel for the night. She was not sure how much time she would have to read her own books but she was very excited.
She went to the kitchen and made a bit of a meal. While she ate she made more notes about what she had learned today and that was a lot.
She would try to find notebooks and such when she had time to go to the store.

Note pad:
Talk to Rando to arrange to have classes with him in the morning.
Afternoon classes with Dell
Go to see Phi about a pet
Go to store to buy supplies and food
Another class type? Will it be too much to do? Make list of pros and cons
((A way to see what she is thinking about doing in near future))

*after a little while, there would be a knock at the door*
{Terezi Zahhak} *someone with a big grin is waiting with a housewarming gift* *there is a green/brown dragon stuffy in her arms*

Esmeralda heard a knock and was startled. Only two... no three people knew that she was here but maybe it was a neighbor. She stood up and walked to the door
"Hello, may I help you?" she asked quietly as she admired the dragon in the lady's arms.
"Hello, may I help you?" she asked quietly as she admired the dragon in the lady's arms.
{TZ} "Hello. Word was that a new student had come to SEGNO. I wanted to make sure you felt welcomed. So I got you a dragon plush in earth tones."
*the dragon is offered with much hospitality*

"WOW! That is so nice of you. Please come in and chat for a bit. Thanks for the plushie. I love it. My name is Esmeralda." she spoke as she hugged the plushie and steps back.
