Miranda is walking around on campus on a semi-cloudy day, taking everything in after completing her training session.  Information presented in an email or pamphlet is different than a physical experience, but so far things seem to match up with what she's read about.

It didn't tell her anything about the people here, though.

Sean happens to be walking the grounds when he notices the unfamiliar girl. He gives her a friendly wave as he approaches.

"New here?"

Miranda stops and waves at the figure, slowing and coming to a stop when he nears.

"Was it that obvious?" she asks with a smile.

"No, it's not but I've been here a long time."

Sean says with a chuckle.

"Name's Sean. And you are?"

"That's a relief." She laughs, happy to believe in his observance over her sticking out like a sore thumb.

"I'm Miranda. It's nice to meet you, Sean."

He nods politely at the introduction.

"What brings you here? To Paradigm I mean."

"The opportunity to learn and improve, both for myself and others." She answers at once, the words flowing smoothly from frequent summary.

"What about you? You say you've been here a while; has your reason to stay changed?"

"Mhmmm. Interesting."

Well that is a quick answer. Also a fair bit more poetic than the usual ones. Sean, however, takes a bit more time to answer.

"Originally it was to learn to control my power. Now... it's just what I do, I guess."

Not particularly noble or elegant but it works for him.

"Control is good." She nods, watching him for a moment with a thoughtful expression.

"What is your power, if I may ask?"

"Of course, I have Psammokinesis. I can control and manipulate sand."

Sean states rather simply.

"Yourself?"

She takes a moment to process that mouthful, appreciating the explanation. He's likely given it before.

She chuckles at his question, grin growing slightly. "Short story? I'm a bard."

Sean gets a rather puzzled look at that.

"A bard? Isn't that just a profession from previous centuries?"

All the nerd comments, gone. Miranda nods.

"Something like that. I can enhance some traits other metas, or weaken them with song."

"Ooooh. That kind of bard."

He laughs lightly.

"That's very cool and interesting. "

"Thanks." She laughs a little. "I promise I can actually sing, though. You won't have to worry about your ears bleeding on the field."

"Oh no worries. I spent a lot of time in the arts community in college. Let's just say there were some very experimental groups I was privy to, I'm sure you're far better than them."

He grins thinking of some of the terrible bands his friends had made.

She's probably heard some performing that were just as bad. She appreciates the gesture and nods.

"I like to think so." She looks around the campus, teeth catching the inside of her lip. "Is it normally this quiet?"

Sean laughs again.

"With a bunch of young teens running around with powers? No. It's usually far more lively."

"So you're...typically ready to pull your hair out?" She tilts her head to the side at the thought.

"Me? No. I tend to be far more relaxed than the other senior agents or staff. So I tend not to be too bothered by much."

He smiles.

"Matt or Jessica on the other hand..."

Names she makes note of, in case she should come across them later. At least Sean was patient. It would probably save his sanity - and hairline - in the long run.

"Lucky me, then. What do you do when it's this quiet, then?" She wondered if this was a habit or merely a break that would let her know someone beyond her dorm on the first day. Well, almost first person.

"Depends on my mood really. I either paint, sculpt, or play piano."

He shrugs while thinking.

"I read a lot too, and watch old movies."

"You play piano?"  Miranda perks at the mention, though the rest of the list hasn't gone unnoticed.

"I do. You play any instruments?"

Sean asks, though it seems logical she would given her power but one can never tell.

"Piano." A smaller, slight nod. "And clarinet. I'm hoping to start another one soon, though." She acts like his surprise isn't that surprising.
