The campus of Sky High is impressive - even were it on the ground. Floating in the sky makes it all the more so. As the bus breaks through the clouds, the students get their first glimpse of the school - for many, what will be home for the next semester. Dormitories on one side, connecting to the school proper by covered walkways, which itself branches off on one wing into a large gymnasium (with outdoor facilities near at hand).

The buses let the students out on the commons, the open area between the dorms and gym; it takes a while for all the students to get their bags off the bus. The new arrivals are packed into groups; a tall, Nordic-looking senior awaits the last stragglers in his group.

Taichi, dressed formally in a suit and tie, has a bored look on his face as he takes his bag and files into his group.

EDIT: Masculinized name.

Tim, though one of the first off of the bus, spent most of the time leaning against a tree, waiting for the other kids to grab their stuff. He'd gotten to the bus first, and his stuff was way in the back.

Anyone looking at Tim would be hard pressed to think him anything but a regular teenager. His hair is black, cut short and tousled (though more from lack of grooming than any attempt to look cool). He wears jeans, a dark green t-shirt and black sneakers. He watches the kids gather their bags, waiting for the crowd to thin before moving forward to claim his own, a worn army surplus duffel bag. Then, bag over his shoulder, he moves to join the blonde senior, keeping to the fringe of the group.

Jimmy McCullen is annoyed. First he had an awful time finding the last of the things he wanted to pack and was consequently up way too late last night, and then Mom had to make a huge production in the morning about how he was 'going away' and 'growing up' even though on a clear day with a good pair of binocs he could see the house from campus. Then he was late leaving because he couldn't find his goggles, almost dropped the footlocker (that would have been disasterous) because of all the flying school busses (how had he missed those all the years he'd been flying in this city? And now he is late to the party. Or to school. Same difference.

And then he spots Kid Thor, and the last group of freshie -men, and smiles. His people. Superheroes. And he is going to be one of them. Jimmy pushes the goggles up onto his head, where they make his brown hair stick up in crazy clumps, self-consciously smooths down the wrinkles in his clothes (flying, not good for fashion unless you're in the skinny-jeans-or-spandex set) and adjusts his jacket before hefting the footlocker again. He adjusts the grip on it, too. Dang thing must way a couple hundredweight and the rope handle is definitely gonna give him blisters if he can't stow it soon.

Jimmy makes his way over to the group.

Alex gets off the bus, a small backpack slung by it's single strap across his shoulder. He's tall, roughly handsome with his blond hair and blue eyes, and dressed stylishly in a brown leather bomber jacket (with about a billion pockets), white t-shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of combat boots. He looks around, scanning across the view of the campus before moving to stand by the senior.

Calista Ladrone steps off the flying bus with a faded but good quality travel bag under her arm. She brushes her dark hair behind her ear while taking an approving look at the flying campus. As Calista joins the rest of the group, she takes note of some of the students already present; the formally dressed asian kid, the unassuming guy who had patiently waited for his bags, the stylish young man who seemed to favor fashions from the mid-1990s and the flustered aspiring hero in aviator goggles who flew in to school.

If anyone takes notice her of her looking, Calista will flash a warm smile and introduce herself.

Kate makes her way off the bus and over to gather her bags. She has a messenger bag flopping at her hip, and her camera hung around her neck. The rest of her ensemble consists of fashionably appliqued khakis, garnet tank top, and hand-knitted olive green sweater. Her brown hair is long and wavy, and she has braided strands that are pulled back and fastened with a rubber band to help keep her hair from whipping into her face.

She moves to stand with the group, offering a smile to anyone that manages to catch her eye. As she looks around at her surroundings from her spot with the group, she may snap a few pictures of anything that looks interesting.

Alex continues to scan, offering a smile and a nod to anyone who will meet his eye.

Notice Alex's nod, Calista smiles and introduces herself.

"Hello. I hope you don't mind me asking, but is that an Air Force A-2 flight jacket?"

The Flyboy with the goggles makes his way to the fringe of the big Nordic looking kid's group and sets his footlocker down, rolling his shoulders and neck around to get out the cricks, while he makes an offhand comment to those around him.

"Lot of traffic this morning, let me tell you."

Once the shoulders are rolled out Jimmy opens the footlocker (inside: a big old mess of clothes, electronics, and other miscellany) and shucks the jacket (not a flight jacket, but instead a jacket more appropriate to flying: wind-resistant, not too billowy, with a zipper). His tee-shirt is green and has a 1-up mushroom on the chest, and with the jacket gone something is obvious: this kid must eat dumbells. There is no rule with super strength, as a rule. Someone might look like a ninety pound weakling, but might still be able to juggle city busses, but anyone who looks like they can juggle brim-full footlockers probably can. If Jimmy hadn't just landed it would be easy money that he was a super strength type. The goggles don't go into the footlocker. Every teen needs an affectation.

Jimmy closes the trunk and looks around for a counterpart. Everyone has one. That one guy (or girl) who is just... the dude that they find themself having a lot in common with. A bro. There are potential bros in this crowd. Brotential.

Arthur steps off the bus, slowly. He is wearing faded blue jeans, tennis shoes and a dark green polo shirt under an old brown suede jacket. Dark green eyes look out shyly from under a mop of curly red hair as he watches the other kids get into line.
He carries a bulging blue backpack on his left shoulder and pulls a newer black suitcase on rollers along behind him as he moves to join the other kids in line.

"Navy G-1, actually."

Kate, attempting to do so inconspicuously, raises her camera to her eye and snaps a few shots of Alex and Calista's interaction.

Adam jumps lightly out the door of the flying bus with his massive rucksack slung over his shoulder, hitting the ground with a minor grunt of effort before straightening himself out and moving towards the group. His brand new carpenter jeans contrast sharply with his old camouflage jacket and comfortably worn in hiking books. His face is pale, and the one hand he isn't using to support his bag is stuffed into his pants pocket in an attempt to keep from shaking. He throws an occasional glance out towards the edges of the floating platform the school rests on.

He does not look pleased. In fact, it looks like he may be ill soon.

Jimmy notices another big guy getting off the bus and looking like he is about to lose his lunch and walks over with his footlocker.

"bend over and put your hands on your knees. Once you get your head below your center of gravity, breathe easy. Or just have a seat."

He indicates the footlocker.

"Don't like flying? I think you're going to have to get over it, man."
