Jaison had finally made it to the dormitories; after hours of trying to translate directions, and sort through maps he got off the bus and immediately marveled at the sheer size of the building. Holy crap...this place houses every UA student?? He looked around as students of both genders walked in and out of the building. Their pretty trusting here huh? Must be one hell of a security system to keep this many teenagers in check after hours he thought. His rustled his duffle bag in the grip of his right hand, and adjusted the shoulder strap of his backpack preparing himself to go inside. Lets just hope it isn't too cold, don't want to have to wear a hoody in every part of the building he said finally motioning towards and making his way up the steps.
When he got inside he couldn't believe it, the place looked so comfortable. Lounge chairs; flat screen T.V.s, teens using them to play games, the place was an echo of chatter. However, the same issue that made it difficult for him to find this place, reared its ugly head he couldn't understand anything that was written. Oh god...it's all in Japanese! he whimpered, hand slamming into his face in irritation. I can't be the first foreign transfer student from america! It's not possible! Something around here has to be in english! he prayed. But the more he looked around, the more he saw Kanji after Kanji after Kanji. The only thing that was any hope was the dormatory map that he had been given, thankfully they were kind of enough to at least have that in English.
Okay...room 15...just find your room, eventually you'll learn Japanese right? Just take it step by step he looked around and tried to find the hall his room was located on; thankfully it was on the first floor, he was too tired from a full day of getting lost to climb the stairs; or even take at trip up the elevator. Wonder what kind of dorm mates I'll have around here?

New York City. He would be heading with his dad to New York City for one week. It had been some time since Desmoshi got to spend time with his dad and this would be their first trip together in a long while. With summer break finally here, he can relax. His twin sister, Mizuki, was heading out with Yang for their vacation. He was happy about how far they had gotten and was even happier that Niji was coming with him for the trip. They had been dating for a couple of months and they would get to spend time together. No extra activities. No helping others. Just his dad and his girlfriend.
But why did his dad want to go to New York? He was dead set on it. Usually, his dad would let Desmoshi pick the location for the getaway, but not this time. He kept saying that there was something important he had to take care of. Lately, his dad had been going stir crazy at home, with him no longer boxing or being a vigilante. His mother commented that retirement was just not for him, but he will learn eventually that he couldn't everything. Desmoshi chuckled at the thought.
Desmoshi grabbed his UA jacket and pulled on some green jeans with matching sneakers. He had to take care of a few things before going on his trip. Permission from the school. Getting Niji ready. Yada Yada. The list was just neverending, but he knew that relaxation was just around the corner.
As he exited his room he spotted a familiar face. It was Jaison from the day he was helping with the Musutafu Plaza. But he seemed lost. Good thing he knew. Right, he didn't know Japanese. Good thing Desmoshi knew English. And he was right next door. "Yo, Jaison!" Desmoshi exclaimed with a smile. "What are you up to?"

Actually wanting to step out of his dorm and head out for the day, there was a really cool bakery in town that sounded pretty neat? Something with kaiju in the name or some such? Either way, he heard the owner is some nice actress lady and you couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu! ...unless you had an allergy, then okay, you could go wrong by picking the wrong thing. To the best of his knowledge, he didn't have any sort of allergies, so his plan was to ask for the owner's favorite things and roll from there.
[break][break]
With one of his earbuds popped in, he enjoyed the bumpin' tunes from the OST of Wyvern Orb and had to resist the urge to sing along since it was so freaking catchy! Gently bobbing his head to the beat, there seemed to be a bit of a commotion ahead...? Not a bad commotion, but more along the lines of the guy who showed up before at the plaza! Desmoshi was already on the scene, but he wanted to try and get to know everyone at the school. These people were going to be those he had to entrust the lives of others and himself to.
[break][break]
So it was in his best interest to figure out who had their heart in the right place, who was all about popularity and who was going to throw you under the bus if it meant making themselves look good. Unplugging the earbuds with a gentle smile, he rolled them up, brought out his phone and paused the music before stuffing it back into his pocket. With how many layers being sported at the moment, especially during the summer, he'd gotten a few weird looks. That was fine, he wasn't here to impress anyone or be popular, he was here to make sure he had the skills to save lives and protect those around him. A strong desire to aid others drove him to this very moment in his life.
[break][break]
The boy struggled with Japanese, if he could recall correctly...so needless to say, Beaumont was glad that his family were so business oriented and had to deal with many people who spoke in English. They didn't want to leave their child in the dark and take part in conversations when guests would come by and only knew one language. The only reason he had to learn Japanese was out of necessity since, well, this was his new home. Sometimes it was a struggle, especially since French was his main language...but he tried to keep himself from speaking his native tongue. Mother and father were firm believers that it was rude to knowingly speak in another language, especially when you were well aware of how to speak in a shared tongue.
[break][break]
Jaison, as far as he could tell, wasn't being rude...but struggling to get his bearings on this new life. To help him out, he was going to communicate in English during this time and offer his services as a translator to an extent to aid with the language barrier. "Desmoshi, Jaison, it's good to see both of you..." Offering a little wave as his calm words past his lips, he looked a little concerned since it didn't look as though Jaison was having a good day. A slightly nervous smile played across his lips as he carried on, stopping about a meter in a way, a hit of concern ringing true as he spoke once more, "Is everything alright?"
[break][break]
Not wanting to jump to conclusions, he figured this was a more polite approach while still keeping an amicable air about himself.

Jaison looked pleasantly surprised when his name was called, there were only a select few he had met since he had been here and that voice was definitely familiar. Desmoshi! he said pleasantly. Thank god! He would rush to Desmoshi without hesitation. Dropping his bag onto the ground once he got close enough in his approach so he could give his new friend some dap. Nothing much bro, I'm trying to find my room! he said exhaustion clear in his tone.
This foreign language thing is gonna take some time, I love it here don't get me wrong but I never thought it would be so hard to get around without knowing the tongue haha. he would motion over and lean against the wall resting his head back up against it. I don't remember if we discussed it but what class year are you by the way? Jaison would ask. However his attention was drawn up the hall by another familiar face that showed up, but he couldn't remember the guys name to save his life though the guy clearly remembered his; at this he blushed. Damn it...what was his name? Don't panic! Just play it cool!
I mean everything's fine Jaison said smiling nervously, but would extend his hand to also shake Beaumonts with as much vigor that he had shaken Desmoshi's a moment ago. He would then address both of them with complete honesty; I can't understand crap around here! frustration clear in his tone as he reached in his pocket. His phone completely dead from over usage trying to translate everything along the way as he rattled it in front of the guys.
I didn't think being a foreign exchange student would be so challenging he sighed sliding the phone away and adjusting the straps to his backpack once more. Sorry not trying to sound whiney, I love this place's vibe; just a bit of an adjustment period is all.

Desmoshi gave a small smile to the new first-year. He definitely understood. Not with the language barrier, but more with finding everything in the school. On his second day here, he got lost at least seven times before finding the right classroom. And Japanese was his native language! "Well, I definitely understand that one," Desmoshi said with an energetic smile. "I got lost a lot when I first got here. And it took me forever to learn English. If you need some help understanding Japanese, I will be more than happy to teach you." Desmoshi, after some time, knew this place like the back of his hand. He had to- he was the class president for 2-A. What would it look like for him to be the leader and who couldn't help someone find their room?
"Yeah," Desmoshi started when he was asked about which class he was from. "I guess we were so caught up in the construction, I forgot to talk about which class I was from. I am a second-year from 2-A and I am their class president. It's not too bad, but-" Just as Desmoshi was about to finish his sentence, Monty came up to see if there were any issues, which Jaison responded to. "Dude, you are not being whiney," Desmoshi said waving it off. "It takes time to adjust to UA, especially knowing where everything is and the language. So, where is your class schedule? They usually put the dorm number on top of it. If we look at that, we can figure everything out."
