Rikku still felt dumb about that mistake in Forensings Class. They wouldn't have a real dead person sitting there, answering questions; this was a school, after all. Right? Right.

Silly to be shaken up like this. She'd seen death enough, had chatted with the Unsent not knowing they were dead, watched Yunie dance the souls along to the Farplane. It happened all the time.

Definitely no reason to be upset. Good. She dropped her bag on the bed and was about to plop down next to it when she realized that space was already occupied.

"Hey there, pretty kitty." She reached out and scritched behind the orange cat's ears.

She managed to scoot him over with a minimum of fuss, so she could ease down next to him. She stretched out with a smile, feeling better already.

Cats were awesome.

Hamlet doubled checked the room number on the door against the one on the paper that had been left on his desk. This seemed to be the right place. Better a late introduction than none at all, he supposed. He rapped lightly on the door and waited for an answer.

Hamlet smiled a bit at the girl who answered the door. He didn't recognize her, so he had a good chance of this being the right person at least.

"Rikku, I presume? I'm Hamlet. I was assigned to be your Big Brother here at Fandom but certain ... obstacles have prevented me from being here sooner. I apologize for that."

Because herds of Metroids were hard to escape from, even if you were tagging along with a woman with a missile launcher on her arm.

Hamlet really wasn't the hugging type, but her infectious energy did make him grin. Rikku certainly was an energetic one.

"It essentially means that I get to be your guide around Fandom, and show you things that you haven't been here to experience first hand, such as where all the classrooms are, and how to avoid being killed should another plague of trolls arrive, and such things. Or at least whatever you haven't encountered already."

He leaned in closer. "The most important piece of advice I have: don't eat the cafeteria food. Trust me on this one."

"it is food, but sometime it makes you do rather embarrassing things for hours at a time. I'd be careful around that man." He shuddered, recalling in horror his own forced participation in the Infamous Billy Joel Songs day.

"I'm from Elsinore, Denmark. That's a small northern country across the ocean from here," he added in case Rikku was one of those people from a different world. "After some rather severe issues with my family, I've essentially been banished to this school by my uncle. I will get my revenge on him for killing my Father one of these days."

He debated about mentioning that he was also the current Crown Prince of Denmark, and decided against it.

"Cursed is a little strong, but no, it doesn't seem to kill you. I would avoid the chocolate moose however, as that is actually made from moose parts."

His face darkened. "A little over a year now, and I still have yet to do anything about it. My Father drops in from time to time to remind me off this fact."

"Sent?" he asked. "My Father doesn't need to be exorcised. It would seem rude to ask a priest to send him off after he did so much for me in life. He's simply a ghost with unfinished business who will likely move on to the afterlife after I avenge him. And wear a sweater when it's cold out."

Hamlet nodded, not fully understanding, but getting the important bit. So she'd lost someone important too her too. He knew how that felt.

"By killing my uncle," he replied quietly.

"I suppose I have to," he answered. "I also have my own reasons as well for wanting to kill my scheming jackal of an uncle, but it's still difficult to work up the moral fortitude to actually do the deed."

Hamlet blinked and paused at that comment. He'd never had anyone actually offer to help kill Claudius before.

"I beg your pardon?"

Hamlet smiled at her. "Then I shall definitely ask you to join my party when I do manage to attack him. I'm sure you'd be a good ally."

He sighed. "The key problem I have is that my uncle is the current illegitimate king of Denmark. If I am to avenge him for my Father and regain the title that's rightfully mine, I'd also need to publicly prove his guilt."

"He's tried that, but as my uncle is also currently married to my Mother he'd have a hard time trying to imprison or murder me straight out." he motioned around. "Hence why I'm exiled to this unsual school full of dangerous and unsual things instead of already being dead."

"Thankful yes," Hamlet said. "I think I would have killed myself if they weren't."

He shrugged. "All I have so far is to head back home after I graduate from this place, challenge my uncle to a duel of some kind, and hope that one of us dies in the process."
