Academy located in Sutōrībukku

Oh, and just so you know when we start up the role play You are to meet in the meeting room. Your bags have been sent to your rooms, and come mingle then you are free to go to your rooms or anywhere else. I'm going to make a "town", Lol I'll have the muffin man who lives on Drury Lane work at a bakery shop [as a NPC]. :]

Alyss:
Alyss sat in a chair. Much was going on around her and she was pretty much ignoring everything around her. "It's my first year here and I'm a third year student." She muttered to herself and observed the other kids. Two had went over to a girl huddled in the corner. Alyss was trying to avoid as much attention as possible. Though for some reason she could stop staring at a girl in a red kimono.

Ayame:
Ayame was standing juggling a few knives she kept hidden in her sleeves. "This school is pretty interesting." She said to herself and studied some kids in the room. Her eyes met with a girl with startling blue eyes. Alyss looked away when she noticed Ayame noticed her. She walked toward the Alyss and tapped her on the shoulder. "I think we might enjoy school this year." She gave the Alyss a grin.

Kohana was too busy worrying about whether or not she would get lost in such a big place to even notice the two students approach her. She felt herself have a mini heart attack when she saw the boy standing a little too close for comfort, and her face turned bright red. She tried to take a step back, but realized she was in a corner- she couldn't go any further. She bit her lower lip, and wondered what she should say. She had never interacted much with other people when she lived in the cabin- she did go to town to ask for some potatoes for dinner, and other things. But that was different, and she never really had a real conversation with anyone besides her grandmother.

She lowered her eyes from the boy's, and managed to stutter out a "H-h-hello." That wasn't so bad. she thought, but really she wanted to crawl under the food covered table a few feet away from her. She glanced at the girl who was right behind the boy, and wondered if they were twins, but of course she didn't ask. If they weren't it would be terribly awkward. She glanced back down, not wanting them to think she was staring.

Kohana glanced up momentarily to the two siblings that introduced themselves. Friends? she thought to herself. She had never had any, and the two seemed like nice people. But friends seemed like a lot of trouble. She thought how hard it would be for someone to stike up conversations like- well she couldn't do it. She would try though. "Um- ni-nice to meet you." She said quickly, "M-my name is K-kohana!" She felt her face grow warm. She a a bad habit with blushing at the slightest things. She glanced away from the brother, and sister duo, but ended up looking back at them.

She wondered if she should say something to start a conversation, after that's what starting a conversation is- you have to speak first, and in her case you have to speak period. She bit her lower lip again, and opened her mouth. She thought twice about, and closed it. She felt like a fish out of water. She opened her mouth again determined to make friends. "Um- so. I-is this your first y-year?"

Azami, in one of her usual fit of anxiety, was quick to panic over the innocent question. How could she tell we were first years? Is it that obvious? Am I embarrassing Asai?! her mind raced with her worried thoughts, ignoring the pretty obvious answer for each one in question. To the first one, well, simply put? She hadn't. Kohana had only been striking up conversation, though Azami herself was too socially inept to even really understand the concept, let alone thing it was normal. To the second, it was ridiculously easy to tell they were first years, perhaps not in the current context, but normally so. There really wasn't any use worrying over that. The whole awing at every other thing they saw and devouring most of a food table had given them away...And to the last, Asai had only been embarrassed twice in his entire life. Once when he sampled his father’s brandy and woke up in the village mess hall sleeping on the head of a moose naked, and the other when Azami had introduced him to the new kids in the village as her older sister. The last he still hadn't lived down either...

Asai sighed at his sister’s inner panic, seeing every thought that ricocheted within the walls clearly in her frenzied eyes. She was doing so well too..."Haha, yeah actually~ I guess it's pretty obvious huh?" Asai falsely chuckled, bringing a hand up to his face to hide the slight frown that had been slowly etched in. He really did hate having to deny his sister social interaction, but given the pace at which she was going about answering, they would only manage to alienate a potential friend. He’d just have to take the guilt that came with it for her sake. "What about you?" Truth be told, Asai actually was a bit curious, the girl didn't look old per say, but definitely older than both of them. Yet her actions were a bit, err, awkward to say the least. Like what was expected of any new student.

Her nails digging into the palms of her hand, Azami decided it best she pipe in then, "Y-yeah...a-are you a s-second year?" That was pathetic... Azami internally cried, her outside appearance close to tears as well.

Kaliska stood against a wall, unobtrusive but watchful. As a teacher he was required to be at the opening ceremony and the meet up, in case students had questions and to make sure the atmosphere remained calm. It also didn’t hurt to meet any students who were interested – it made the first day of class easier. Most of the students seemed comfortable enough, although a few in particular caught his eye. It was always hard for first years or transfer students. Some were used to boarding schools, but others came from public or home schooling – leaving them not only in a new school but also a new home.

Absently, the Honon picked at his tie, unused to semi-formal wear. During class, and any time he was on school grounds, he was technically supposed to wear professional clothes… but unless parents or government officials were visiting he wore a t-shirt and jeans – unless he was clubbing or partying of course. He grinned to himself, remembering last Friday at the Seven Young Kids bar and club. It was open to those under eighteen Tuesdays, Saturdays, and every other Friday, but most of the time it was adult only.


With a slight shake of his head he pulled his mind away from last Friday’s party to the present.

Kohana: Little Red

Kohana looked at the girl called Azami, and wondered if she was as socially challenged as herself- or maybe she just didn't like her. She frowned slightly as the latter one. The two seemed like polar opposites, but she couldn't excatly read them. It wasn't as if she had so much time to practice. She felt herself relax just a bit as she interacted with these two students. It was nice being able to talk to kids, her age or at least around it.

"U-um, I couldn't tell- really." she said wondering if they were offended. "I was just trying to think of something to say." she said in a whisper. She brushed some strands of hair that had fallen out of her hair. "I'm in my second year, but this is my first year at the school." she smiled softly, "S-so I guess it's my first year as well."

Kane: Pied Piper

Kane strolled into the meeting room with his hands in his pocket, and took a look around the room. He saw some familiar faces from last year, and smile. This was going to be a great year. He did not like school persay, but he loved making new friends, and seeing old ones. He grabbed a plate of food, filling the plate up it to the top, and sat down in a chair. He started leaned the chair back, and began eating his food.

Kyo stayed away from the food table as possible. He hated sweets, well he was part rabbit. He studied the other students a bit and nearly fell off the chair that he was on when he saw Alyss. "Oh wait I'm not a rabbit anymore." He said to himself in relief. The girl juggling knives earlier scared him though. "I wonder if the other students are as dangerous as her." Then pulled out a pocketwatch. "Well hopefully we can leave soon."


(Can't think of anything right now sorry.)

Kohana smiled hestiantly at the two. She felt happy that she was making friends, and it was only her first day here. It was great progress seeing as she doubled the numbers of friends she had acquired- well from 0-2, but who was counting. She didn't know what to talk about after Asai asked her. She shifted leaned against the wall slightly, and tried to think of something before they got bored of her. Suddenly Azami asked her about a packet. What packet? Was she suppose to have one? She already felt one step behind them. She searched her brain frantically trying to remember what packet she was suppose to pick up, but nothing came to mind. Her face turned redder than the hood she wore as she asked "W-what packet?"

Kane had stuffed his face with so much food, but he still felt hungry. He glanced around the room, and saw the bunny boy- er he meant his new roommate Kyo. He had looked at his packet earlier, and recognized the name. He remembered him from last year, but he had never spoken to him. He walked over to Kyo, and smiled his big smile "Hey Kyo!" he picked up a food item from his plate, "Wanna a carrot?" he asked jokingly.


(ooc: It's fine if ya have writers block. As long as you post at least 3 sentences :)

Azami shrunk back a little at Kohana's words. She'd thought she'd heard something about a packet...but she had been sort of falling in and out of dream land. She could easily be wrong and the last thing she wanted was to turn someone against her from mis-informing them. Still, she was relatively sure she'd heard correctly, and it would probably be worse to not give her any information than the wrong information. "Oh, um, I-I heard that they laid out packet's for us, um...somewhere?" Azami stated quietly, her voice shifting from slight confidence to uncertainty at a seconds notice.

Asai was quick to jump in where his sister trailed off, "The packet's are supposed to have all the information we need while here; our dorm room, class, and I think a map of the school. I'm pretty sure there was someone we were supposed to go to...or there was a table" Maybe he should have paid a bit better attention during the earlier meeting...

Kohana felt somewhat relieved when she learned that she wasn't the only clueless one. "Oh. S-so it's like an information packet." She looked around the room, and wondered why she didn't see the packets that the students held in their hands earlier. She tried to figure out where they were getting the packets, but it was too crowded. She really had no idea how a boarding school worked. Roommate? she thought making friends with Asai and Azami was hard enough now she had to share a room with other girls. She wondered how she was going to get through this. She had forgotten about classes as well. She really didn't know what she was to expect, but now she felt herself getting more worried by the second. She overheard someone say something about a back table. Maybe that's where the packets are. she thought trying to see over the crowd of people, but she wasn't very tall to start with.

Asai scanned the area warily, swerving from side to side to look around various people and furniture. The longer he looked, the further he felt he was from actually finding the thing. It almost seemed like the thing didn't even exist. A tugging on his sleeve drew Asai's attention away from the crowd of people, turning to look at the one responsible curiously.

His sister's hand was outstretched weakly, one lone finger pointing towards something low to the ground and heavily obscured by a crowd of people. Unsure of what it was she was pointing at, he ducked down to the short girl’s level, eyes still glued to the spot. At that level he could just barely make out an ebony colored table, standing at no more than two feet in height and covered with a pile of packets. Of course it was going to be the shortest thing in the room...and most crowded. Releasing a slight sigh, Asai turned to Kohana, motioning with his head and hand towards the area. He was not looking forward to trying to find anything in that mess.

Kaliska pushed himself away from the wall to stand up straight as a girl approached him. He waited for her to stop talking, a slow smile spreading on his face. She was pretty, how could he not notice her? He raised an eyebrow at her forwardness.
“I’m Mr. Honon. It is a pleasure to officially meet you, Miss Sora.” He reached to take her hand, but changed the action into rubbing his nose when she pulled away. “Do you know where your room is Miss Sora? Or would you like an escort?”

Kazu walked around the school, it was quite big and so many people were walking around. He looked into some of the rooms, trying to make sure he could find his way around the place. Kazu then stopped at a lounge like area, he sat down and then began to relax. The seat he was in was comfortable on his back and he felt that he could stay there all day. He looked as people walked past, he then remembered that he had to get to his room. Kazu got up from his seat and started to walk toward the dorm rooms. He started to wonder what his roommates would be like. When finally got to the room he walked through the doorway and into the room. He looked around at the furniture and then he took a seat this seat was just as comfortable as the one he had sat in earlier at the lounge. Kazu then closed his eyes and then started to wait for his roommates to arrive. But as he waited he began to fall asleep.

Ella continued to sit in the corner but spotted a pair of rabbit ears in the distance "How odd" she said before getting up and straightening out her clothes she looked at her Pamphlet and unfolded it to look at the map "I wonder who i'll be rooming with hopefully no one like my family." she praid to her fairy godmother that would never happen.

trying to get through the crowd so she could get to the refreshment table but it wasn't working out so well she had been pushed to the floor a few time in the process and then managaed to get out and found herself at a table full of other kids.

Asai trailed slowly down the expansive halls of the academy. Somewhere between trying to find his info packet, and trying to escape from the great flood of people that came after him, he'd found himself separated from both Azami and Kohana. For a while he had stood there, doing his best to remain calm as he desperately searched for Azami, and then Kohana. When he found none after what felt like an hour of looking, though probably only five minutes at best, he'd given up and instead decided that both must of retired to their rooms, much like he was currently doing.

The only problem was the pure expansiveness of the halls mixed horribly with his horrible sense of direction. Part of him swore he'd gone round the same hallway corner at least three times already...With a frustrated sigh, the boy slid slowly down the cold walls of the academy, a hand running swiftly through his hair. If only I had a map… Asai mentally assessed, his eyes closed in thought.

The poke of paper on his leg made him quickly recall seeing exactly that in his package. With a quick flick of his wrist, he took out the small map, eyeing its contents for a hint where he was. He spotted a large garden in the upper corner of the map, he vaguely recalled passing earlier that was by his dorm. So with the best back tracking he could muster, he made his way over to the area, relief washing over him when he spotted the room he was looking for.

He hurriedly opened his way into the room, stopping halfway through the door frame when he noticed a, by the looks of it, older boy asleep in one of the chairs. Shrugging it off, he grabbed his nap sack from the center of the room, placing it lightly on one of the top bunks of the room. He climbed up soon after, savoring the feel of the comfortable bedding beneath him.

Alyss read her packet and rushed to find her dorm. Ai trailing after her. "Lets see Room 001." She stopped at the the room and saw the door was already open. "Roommate must already be here." She walked inside and saw another girl was looking around. "Excuse me. I think I'm your roomate." Alyss called to the girl.

(Sorry if I didn't ask to be your roommate. Is it okay if I am?")

Ai saw her friend disappear into her room and decided she best find hers. "Okay Room 002." She walked past twelve more doors and found the room. She walked inside and found that her roommate wasn't here yet. "I guess I might as well look around." She said to herself.

Kyo ignored Kane's comment and walked to grab his packet. After managing to get it, he looked for his dorm. "If Kane ends up as my roommate I think I'd probably jump out the window." He grumbled to himself as some first year students pointed to his ears. Finally he found his dorm and shut himself inside. "That was tiring." Kyo then walked over to the bed and sat on it. Thinking about how this school year would turn out.

(It would be funny if Kane did end up as Kyo's roomate. After he said that. xD)

OOC: xD People look in the places section...it shows you who you are rooming with :D Sooo Kyo LOL

Alyss jumped at the girl shrieking. "I'm Alyss Heart." She said, the smile she had on her face was twitching. "Well Kohana I guess I'm your roomate." She walked over to Kohana and held out her hand for a handshake. "Pleased to meet you. Oh and I hope you aren't scared of dangerous weapons since I brought my scythe with me." Her smile was now a grin.

Sanna had gone to a public school her entire life. She was halfway through her first year of high school when the police arrested her father. The courts deemed that due to the trauma suffered during the second half of the year, she would restart high school some where safe and quite. Never mind that she hadn’t wanted to, or that she wasn’t allowed any contact with her family. On the bright side, she was getting some of the best education, at the government’s expense. Her father had hired tutors and most of the time she surpassed the other students at her public school. Now she might actually be challenged… or not.

The room she was in had been crowded, but it seemed that slowly the other students had been filtering out singularly or in small groups. Most of them seemed socially awkward to the point of being pathetic, or apathetic and uncaring. After a moment of thought she figured she would suit the shy crowd better. Wouldn’t a young girl who’d just lost everything be scared of new people?

She fingered the opening of her packet before she thoughtfully drew out the papers. A map, class schedule, room number, list of activities they could do on campus, when food was served, official stuff. She wrinkled her nose slightly at the thought of having to change her schedule but resigned herself to it.

A last glance at the map and she was walking off, stuffing her papers back without looking. She was stationed in room 003, and the way it was worded, she’d likely be rooming with at least one other person. That was going to be draining, keeping her bubbly Sanna personality out and not reverting to Tora at all.

The place wasn’t that hard to navigate, though she missed the greetings of her extended family as she walked. They were in jail, all of them, even her mother. She slowed when she reached the correct hallway and stopped altogether when she reached her door. Gently, she placed her hand on it and took a deep breath. She would be living as Sanna for four years, it would be hard and she would have to constantly remind herself not to slip up. She took another deep breath and smiled. It was a fortunate thing she was such a damn good actor.

Arashi said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Honon." With a quiet smile, she added, "No, I don't know where my dorm is... Well, I know where I'm supposed to go.... I just can't get there."

She must seem like a total airhead, Arashi knew it, and Mr. Honon would tell her to quit being like that... Probably. Arashi grinned, because back home, her smile comuld fix any problem.
