Never Been on a Train Before [Open =] ]

[Pierce James]

Right, so passing through the brick wall thing was awkward, not to mention the muggles staring at him while he stood in front of it trying to remember what he was supposed to do to get to the platform. Some employee of sorts had taken one of his trunks to put into storage, only leaving the small cage containing his new little orange kitten and another small trunk containing his robes. Pierce could only stand for a moment, looking at the large maroon train, watching as families departed and owls fluttered about, entering and leaving the train with last minute instructions. It didn't bother him that he wasn't accompanied on the way here, and he absently wondered if he would meet anyone on his trip to his new home.

After a moment, he looked at his old worn out leather watch, seeing that it would soon be time to depart the station. Lovely. He hadn't ridden a train before and was ready to get that experience in. He climbed into the train, passing the compartments that occupied people until he found one near the back that was completely empty. So he was shy when it came to new people. >_>. If people wanted to befriend him... They'd make an effort to. =].He entered it, sliding the door partially closed, and pushed his small trunk onto one of the racks above. He set the cat carrier down on one of the seats, unhinging the little door to take out the tiny fuzzball. Even if he didn't get company for the whole train ride, he'd have the little thing to play with. =].

Pierce sat back in the seat near the window and propped his legs up on the seat in front of him, bending them to rest against the seats edge, slouching comfortably. The orange cat sat in his lap quietly, yawning for a moment. It had to be an awkward site to behold. A rather large and tall sixteen year old with his legs across the compartment floor, and bent at that, with a tiny orange puff in his lap. He'd taken a liking to the kitten ever since he picked it up from the Menagerie's floor, and decided to adopt her.

"You need a name..." He said quietly, looking at the cat with furrowed brows. He only got a blank [and cute] stare from the thing. ... He had to admit, she was adorable. Even her ear twitched! Of course, he wasn't paying attention to the noise outside...

Keladry walked along the outside of the large scarlet train that would take her to Trios. Her new home. Waving to her foster family, the Philips, she slowly found her way onto the large train, carring her cage with her pet owl, a plump female Barred Owl that was named Moonlight, her feathers proved her name, she was a white color, with plumage feathers that held colors of amber, her eyes were a deep brown. Carring her at her side, she followed the students as they went to a compartment. Sighing as she got tired of pushing students out of her way, just to get a seat. Pushing her way threw, Kel learned that some students didn't like that, a first year, pushed them. Raming her into the side of the train. Scowling she opened the nearest compartment, and found that it wasn't empty, but it would have to do.

Looking inside, she found that this compartment, held a boy, he also wasn't the only living thing in the compartment, he held a bright orange kitten, that lay in his lap. Holding her face smooth, she tightened her grip onto her cage that held Moonlight, as she let out a small squeal, at the sight of the puff ball. "Um.. Do you mind if I sit with you? I got tired of getting pushed by the older years." Kel asked the boy quietly.

[Pierce James]

Pierce looked up as his compartment door slid open, giving the girl who stood in the doorway with curiosity. His eyes at first went to her cage, containing an owl that looked like he wanted to eat his poor kitten. Giving it an uneasy look, Pierce decided he would ignore it. He smiled amiably at the girl as she asked her question, nodding slightly.

"Sure," he replied, turning back to his pet. She was carefully watching the owl. She looked torn between whether or not she should attack it or be scared of it. He didn't move his feet, as there was plenty of room beside them or on the seats next to him. "You can move her cage, if you want," he said, nodding to his kitten's cage that was near his feet.

[keladry]

Kel shook her head. "it's not in the way, not like I have much.. Only this owl..." she nodded to Moonlight. "Nasty little buggar." Kel said setting the cage down, far away so the owl wouldn't bug the kitten. Placing her sweater over the cage, so the owl would stop screeching at the top of her lungs.

Finally sitting down herself she looked at the boy. Her eyes looked at the boy's features before saying "Sorry forgive my manners, I'm Keladry Elliot.. But you can just call me Kel. Alot easier than that jumble of a name." she said smiling.

[Pierce James]

"Ah..." he mumbled, stroking his kitten absently. Quite an explanation for her nickname. Everyone seemed to have one, except for him. . Not that he wanted one, he felt his name fit him perfectly fine. He liked the sound of it, and he was pierced several times. =]. If there was one thing that he felt his parents had done right, it was giving him his name. But enough of that; he had to converse with his newly acquired company.

"I'm Pierce. Er, James. Pierce James," he stumbled about, smiling a bit awkwardly. "I don't really care what you call me," he said as he ran a hand through his hair. It was still on end in the back, which this morning he had decided to tip green. Looking at his little kitten, he smirked slightly. The tips turned orange to match his pet.

Looking up again and setting his hand in his lap, Pierce nodded to the Kel's covered cage. "So," he began conversationally, clearing his throat. "Is his name nasty little buggar, or is it just... A nasty little buggar?" From what Kel had indicated, she didn't seem to like her owl. Maybe it was forced on her by parents? Or maybe it was just being a little prick... He couldn't imagine hating his fuzzball. Or really, keeping a pet that he didn't even like.

[keladry]

"No she's being a evil little buggar, she's attempted to bite me. Once more, her mood is terrible." Kel explained. "No really her name is Moonlight. She's a good owl, once you get over the fact that she bites." she told Pierce. "She feels although it's her duty to bug everything to insanity, or see it as a potential food source." Kel said with a small laugh.

Kel looked at his kitten. "See, I would not mind one bit, to have a little kitten like that....Atleast it doesn't have like sharp talons, and screeches.." Kel said, as Moonlight let out another small screech. "Like that one..." she pointed out. "I would add one thing.. Never give me the option to calling you something, I would come up with the most childish nickname I can come up with.. Just to be out of the ordinary. I'll just assume to call you Pierce." said Kel

Alex was getting as excited as his friend Frankie. She'd left for school before him. But he remembered vividly her bouncyness. In his open top bag a little kitten stuck her head out curiously. In his hand he carried a small cage containing another kitten. He'd got on the train okay but was loking for somewhere to sit and put the terrible twosome down. He peered into every other Compartment until he came to one with only two people in. Sliding the door across he held the Kittens out of the way as he let someone past. He looked around. There was another kitten on the boys knee. A large cage stood next to the girl.
"Mind if I sit in here?" he asked pushing the kitten back into his bag as she tried to leap out towards a new friend.

[keladry]

Kel looked up as the compartment slid open, to reveal another boy. Shaking her head, this day could never get any more exciting. "I don't mind.. What about you Pierce?" asked Kel looking at him. Watching as the small bag, moved, the kitten wasn't very happy about her prison.

[Pierce James]

Pierce watched calmly as his kitten wobbled from her position on his lap up to his chest. Her tiny claws dug into his shirt as she tried to keep steady at her slanted position, sniffing up at his face. Hearing a shuffle outside and his compartment door opening, Pierce put a hand over the cat, gently forcing her to lay down on his chest, his large hand protecting her small body, only her head poking out to look curiously over at what had just appeared in the doorway.

Looking from the boy, to his bags, then to Kel, Pierce merely shrugged, gently running a thumb over his pet's head. "I don't really care," he returned his gaze to his pet. "It's not my compartment, you can sit wherever you like." At this point the compartment would get a bit crowded from all the cages along with the people and pets. Keeping a hold on his cat, Pierce moved his feet from the seat in front of him, coming to stand up. He picked up his cage that he'd left out on the seat, standing at his full height to push it with ease into the storage compartment overhead.

Taking his seat once again, Pierce propped his feet up on the opposite seat as there was still plenty of room beside him and beside Kel. He slouched once again, shoulder against the compartment wall near the window. He released his kitten onto his lap once again, but she only climbed up his stomach to his chest a second time. "So, who are you?" he asked, throwing a quick glance at the newcomer.

[alexander1992]

Alex looked from the boy to the girl to the tiny kitten curled up in the boy's lap. Alex grinned and let both his cats onto the seat so he could put the cage and his bag into the storage compartment. Letting the white kitten, Angel, run up his arm and the black one, Mischief curl in his lap, he sat down.

"I'm Alex. It's my first year here. And these evil animals-" he winced as Mischief dug her claws into the skin of his thigh. "Fine wonderful animals, are are the loyal companiens of my life?" mischief retracted her claws.
"Who are you two? And what's under that sweater?"

[keladry]

Well this would get exciting, all these new people would make Kel's head spin, from all the new stuff. Shaking the thought from her head, as she watched everyone get comfortable once more, she hopped that it wouldn't get any more occupants, she hated crowds. Wondering if it would be this crowded at school she realized that the boy was asking about her owl, returning her attention to Pierce and the boy she spoke. "Oh it's just my stupid Owl. She wouldn't shut her beak, so I put my sweater over it, to shut her up." Kel explained, as Moonlight let out a small screech to let everyone know of her presence.

"As you can tell, she has a personality to match her stuborness." she paused. "By the way, I'm Kel Elliot." she told the newcommer.

[paulkong]

Alexander (not the be confused with Alex) had never been so excited in his life. He was finally going to Hogwarts, his Uncle Jorge had taken him to platform 9 3/4 and told him all sorts of stories about when he was there. As he got onto the train he wondered what it would be like, meeting so many new people. He also wondered what the campus would be like, a school for magic had to have odd things all over the place. As he climbed aboard, holding his trunk and a basket holding his cat named Donald, he looked around for some place to sit. He wondered what sort of interesting people he would meet on the train alone, let alone once he got to school. He came to a stop outside a car that had three people in it, balancing his stuff on his knee he tried to brush his disheveled hair to one side, with little success. He slid the door open, he noticed a couple of cats and some sort of cage with a sweater over it. "Hullo." He began, catching the basket as it was beginning to fall, then continuing, "Mind if I join you guys?"
