|Poses=:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The IS Academy on Acaemy Island is a place that would be advanced to some due to the technology and the way it is layed out. set within an island in Tokyo Bay, it is the home ot a school that teaches repersentatives from around the world, well Mairead's World, to pilot suits of power armor. As this school is almost an elitest style school, the entire student body, except 1, are female and at any given time, the one lone male student can be seen being chaased by the women with some funny situations as an outcome. But that is another story altogether....<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mairead Sandilands, the IS Representative Candidate of Scotland, looks around as she adjusts her Fuku and closes her eyes, "I wonder who this person is," she asks herself as she opens her eyes as she waits at the monorail station to go from Tokyo to the IS Academy. All she knows, is that this person is known as ACT B3-114 and she wonders if that is her actual name... Looking over at Tokyo, she is not sure what to expect, but is not too worried, as the appearance of someone is not whatyou judge a person by, but their merits and how they are towards others.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mairead is a good judge of character and perhaps she can help the new person adjust, especially if she is new to the Multiverse. And since there is nothing going on withint he Multiverse right now, a good way to spend a Monday. As she waits, she looks up at the sun and smiles, "Today si goign to be a good day," and she looks around again.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 slowly glances around the campus, eyes following a few people as they pass by. She doesn't seem too keen on speaking up, however. Her gaze passes over Mairead, and she pauses. Was she staring her way? With a sigh, she slowly shuffles up to her, hands clasped shyly in front of her gown, and speaks, voice meek and raspy. "Um...h-hey, I was...told I-I could...meet some, uh, Paladins here...?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mairead looks and nods, "Aye," she says as she curtsey's to 114, "Me name is Mairead Sandilands," she states. "Welcome to the Infinite Stratos Academy," she adds as she stands upright to her five foot six inches of height. "I hope ye trip was good," she adds as she loosk at the women and smiles, "Lets walk and I will give ye a tour and we can talk if ye want. Later we can get some food," and she places a hand to her chin for a moment. "And if you need a place to rest and a change of cloths I can help with that as well," and she smiles. "So what is ye name? Or what do yye go by?" she asks her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 blinks down at the woman, who stands a solid half a foot shorter than her. "Um...I-I suppose. I mean, I j-...I was just, uh, talking with someone else, and--" She sighs and shakes her head. "Right, um...Call me 114. L-Lead the way. Food would...be appreciated. As would, uh, a...change of clothes, if...y-you have anything in my size here." 114 lowers her head and grabs at her arm at the last few words.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Smiling, Mairead looks, "Aye, we have cloths in many sizes and if not, can get some made," and she nods, "Let me explain a we bit aobut the IS Academy," and she walks aong next to her. "In me world, about 10 to 12 years ago, a scientist came up with a suit of power armor that was designed to be used in space exploration. However, it can only be controled by women, and due to this, other things were figured out about the armor. The IS academy is designed to teach lasses how to use the armor and it cna be used as both a weapon of war or of exploration." and she thinks. "Each of the stended here is a reperensentative of a country on Earth and are here to learn the use of the Infinite Stratos or IS. Iam the Repersentative of Scotland. There is only a single lad that can pilot an IS, and ..." and about that time, the boy comes running by "Hi Mairead," and is gone. a few moments later, a few girls come chasing after him, "Hello Mairead," they say as they run past.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Chuckling, Mairead looks, "Ye would think the lasses would figure out to stop the chasing," and she shrugs. "Due to the different countries here, there is a lot of food that is form their homes here so you can try almost all type of food," and she thinks. "But first, lets get a change of cloths,"a nd she looks. "Do ye like a certain type of clothing?" she asks her.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 slowly looks back to Mairead as she explains. "Huh. Uh, that's--...Right, um, I'm...not picky with food." She shakes her head, brown hair flailing about behind her, then asks, "And I'm...not picky about clothes, either, so long as it's...comfortable, looks decent, and...um...-fits-." She winces. "I-I mean, I'm...ah, you know..." Her voice tapers off to a quiet murmur.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mairead frowns slightly, "Lass, do not worry," she says as she places a hand on her arm. "I am not goignt o do anything to hurt ye and If ye want to talk, I am all ears," she says. "We may have just met, but I want ye to think of me as a friend and I will do what I can to help," and she msiles. "And do not worry, we will get you something that yoou liek and that is comfrontable," and they walk into one of the small stores at the IS Academy.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Entering, MAiread nods her head to the owner, "Hello," she says to the person behind the counter.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello Miread, how can I help you?" she asks.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I have a friend here that needs some cloths as long as they are comfrontable. Think ye can give her a hand?" she asks.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The women nods and walks from behind the counter and looks, "I have somethings that may help, and if not, will make it or get it made." and walking over, she looks and is missing part of her arm form the elbow down. "Now, what do you like?" she asks 114.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 glances down at the shopkeeper's missing arm for a few seconds, before quickly bringing her attention to her face. "Oh! Uh, I-I don't know, just...n-nothing too...revealing? No, uh, skirts, or...a-anything." She clears her throat.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shopkeeper looks and nods, "That is easy enough," and she escorts 114 into the back and MAiread raises an eyebrow and than follows. As she walks into the back, 114 would see a number of different people workign on outfits of different sizes, designs and types. Mairead nods to some of the girls here as students of the IS Academy and as the shopkeeper stops, she looks at 114 and begins to scan her wtih the pad. "Now, no skirts or anything revealing....." and she thinks., "How about a nice blouse, long sleeved, a pair of pants and some socks and shoes," and she looks as she walks her, 114, over to a computer, take a look at some styles you are interested in," and Mairead looks at te shopkeeper.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"I will be covering this, what she needs she can have."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shopkeeper looks at Mairead, "Mairead, you know that I am not going to let her have something as one item. And from what I see here, I want it to be a gift, so she can pick what she wants." and Mairead nods, "Thank you," to the shopkeeper.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 hesitates, then nods to the shopkeeper. "Uh, yeah, sure, that s-...sounds fine." She eyes the options available for a few moments, then reaches out a hand to feel at the fabric of a plain, tan blouse with simple, blue jeans. "How about this? Oh, and, uh, c-...can I get some...shoes...?" She winces and briefly gestures down to her bare feet. "I-It's a long story."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shopkeeper looks, "Everyone needs shoes, and I will help you out," and Mairead nods, "Aye, if you need help, you ask. It will never been turned down," she adds. as she walks over and thinks, "What size shoes you wear?" Mairead asks as the shopkeeper nods, "If you want it, than you can have it," and she thinks. "Plus there are other colors, so picks whichever one you want,"a nd a few IS girls come over and take some measurements and than begint o work on the cloths that 114 picked.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:Whatever happened, happened. No need to worry about the past, look for the furture," she comments.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 shrugs lightly. "I, uh, I dunno. I ha--eep!" She's cut off by the girls that come over to take her measurements. She blushes a deep red, clearly uncomfortable with others suddenly wrapping tape measurers around her gaunt frame. Still, it's over quickly, and she slowly relaxes. "Yeah, I...don't...know my sizes on a-anything." A pause, then, "I don't...r-really want to know, either."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mairead blinks and looks at her, "That's not right," she says as she offers a chair, "Have a seat and we will find a pair for ye," she comments as she find a shoe measure. "Now let me see," she says as she places her heel at the back and measures and looks at the numbers. "Be right back,"a nd she goes and looks, "Lets see, something comfrontable and easy to put on...." she is heard muttering and walks over witha pair of simple slip on shoes, "Here lets try these."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shopkeeper smiles,"It is ok," she says. "The girls just want to make sure the cloths fit right and are not goign to fall off," she adds and she works on fixing the cloths. "Do you have a favorite color?" she asks. "Or do you like the look of a color?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 seems much more comfortable with the foot measurer than the tape measurers. "I'm, ah, not...too picky. Maybe some...faint, horizontal stripes? Like, a-a...slightly lighter color?" She dips her head sheepishly. "I just don't...w-want to, ah...draw attention..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Grinning, Mairead looks, "There is always attention, it just matters on how you handle it," she states as the shopkeeper nods and works. "I think that would work," she says. "Now I will tell you, that cloths speak a lot about people and the simplest style is the best, as it blends in," and Mairead nods. "Aye, I have a limited selection due to schooling and I have a few non-school Fuku's but not much more which is fine with me," she adds as the girls work on a few style designs.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 lowers her head and fiddles with her hands in her lap. "I just...w-wanna...look -normal-, I guess. I know how I look, and...I j-...I don't want people to...worry, I guess." She sighs.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking at 114, MAiread thinks, "Are ye the only one from your world here 114?" she asks her as she stands up after putting on the shoes. The shopkeeper comes over with a few items, "Here you go," she says. "Lets go and get you dressed," she adds as she waves over one of the girls here, "Nina, please assist her in getting dressed," and the girl nods, "Lets get you dressed," says the girl with a brazilian accent. Mairead looks, "Friends worry about friends and there are some here int he Multiverse that are good and help when asked, others are good but have a reason for helping and some will do whatever they want. If you do not want to do something ye do not have too." and she thinks as 114 is taken into the back rook to get dressed.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 shakes her head. "As far as I know, I'm...the only one here. I kind of -hope- so." As soon as Mairead asks Nina to help her get dressed, she immediately stiffens up and glances between the two. "Wh-...No! I-I can do it m-myself! I c-...Please, j-...I-I got it, there's...no need!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nodding, Mairead looks, "Its fine Nina," she says, "Let her do it." and she leaves it like that.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 lets out a breath and relaxes a bit. She mutters a sheepish "thanks," then takes her new clothes and heads off into the changing room. She's in there for a few solid minutes, and a few strained grunts and huffs can be heard from outside, but she does, eventually, come out, gown in hand, and new duds on her.<br><br>She's still incredibly, dangerously thin, but aside from that, she looks...well, -normal-. A light brown blouse, with very slightly darker, horizontal stripes occasionally breaking up the shape. Bog standard blue jeans cover her legs, and her feet are finally clad in comfortable slip-ons. She can't help but smile.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Smiling, Mairead looks, "Tha is a beautiful picture," she says. "How do they feel?" she asks as she goes to get a bag and the shopkeeper hands some additional cloths taht she puts into the bag, "A gift," she states. "As you are new here, and you have no place to go home too, you probably do not have cloths," and she walks over. "Here are some different styles of cloths similar for you."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mairead nods, "Aye, and if ye need a place to rest till you find a home, we have a few rooms here for people that you are free to use," she adds as she thinks and curtsey to the shopkeeper, "Thank you."<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The shopkeeper looks, Mairead, it is not a problem," and she looska t 114. "If you ever need to have them adjusted or fixed, let me know."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 nods sheepishly. "I'll...ah, keep it in mind. Thank you both, really." She sighs and brushes a lock of hair out of her face, eyes glancing down at the floor. "I-I've honestly been in gowns like that for...ah, y-years. It feels good to...be in something -normal-."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Looks, "I am sorry ye had to go through that," Mairead says to 114. Thinking, Mairead thinks and a keayboard appears nfront of her and she begins to type and thinks as she looks at nothing as she types. Smiling, she thinks and the keyboard disappears, "I just sent a request off for you to have a permanent room here and it was approved. Ye do not have to worry about not haivng a place to live and it will always be here for you." and she walks over and smile. "Now lets get some food and we can talk some."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114's sheepish smile slowly returns. "I-I appreciate it. A lot. I don't have to, ah...attend classes, or whatever here? You're sure?" She's prepared to follow Mairead as they talk.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shaking her head, Mairead looks, "Only if ye want," she says as Mairead waves to the shopkeeper and they head for the dorms, "If you want to see what a class is like, we can get you in the same class I take but you do not have too. As there are a lot of people here that do not have homes, we have been working to make a place for people to have a home, rather long or short-term." and she looks.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AS they walk, Mairead points out the different places. "Over ther eis the Cafeteria, a head is the Dormitories. The Infirmary is on the other side of the Dorms. The beach is down the hill. Academy Town is the town were the staff live and their families," and there is some shooting and explosion heard. "The Battle Arena is where training occurs. The top floor of the Dorm has a roof patio where you can sit and eat or relax, a kind of gathering area for us."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:6325|ACT B3-114 (6325)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;114 follows Mairead around, glancing off to the various areas the shorter woman points out for her. At the explosion, she freezes for a moment. "O-Oh, uh...Right, th-this is...some sort of...giant robot school. Um, do I...have t-to, uh...pilot one, if I...join? I mean, that's...what the classes are, yeah?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:940|Mairead Sandilands (940)}} has posed:'''<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shaking her head, Mairead looks. "No, there are other things to do besides piloting," she states. "There are many jobs. some are easy, others are hard," she says to her.<br> <br>
