[ It would be just like Ryoko's luck to be starting a new school life the day before midterms, but she's trying her best to look on the bright side. The storm has blown out most of the cloudy weather and even though everything is still soaked, the bright sun catches on all the water in a way that sparkles and makes things look freshly washed and new. She takes deep breaths on her way to the station, trying to scoop up some of that energy in the air and let it fill her as well.
The trip, thankfully, is painless. She gets a little turned around at her second stop but figures pretty quickly that she can just follow the tide of students in the Promised Morning uniform and falls into step with them with the slightly clueless expression of a newbie. It's a little easier once she actually gets to the campus – one of the teachers meets her at the gate and shows her around her little corner of the campus and after that, Ryoko's left to fend for herself.
The worst part is her class introduction. She knows it can't be an uncommon occurrence in Promised Morning, but she still feels particularly put on display stood at the front of the class. She keeps it brief, trying to not let the anxiety rolling in her stomach show on her face as she goes for it; ]
... I'm Ryoko Shinonome. I've been a Dreamer for a few months, but I'm just transferring now. [ a very audible Dot Dot Dot as Ryoko scrambles for something else to say then very visible gives up. ] It's good to be here.
[ And that's that. Quite understandably, she spends the rest of the morning in a Introvert Recovery Haze and spends much of that first day keeping to herself and just... trying to adjust. Thankfully, midterms are a weirdly blessed escape from having to Do Regular High Schooler things but once they wrap, she's at a loss.
She generally spends a lot of time hovering around in the library, or camping out in quiet spots around campus with her phone and while she's clearly a little withdrawn and a little awkward about settling in... she won't exactly turn away anyone who approaches. ]
