Okay so this is my roleplay that I have centered around the buffy verse. If you'd like to no more you can check out the OOC topic in roleplayers wanted.


Nova yawned softly curled up inside her Dad's backseat. The truck behind them carrying all of their stuff had left plenty of room for Nova to go to sleep if she so wanted to. With crimson red waves draped over the seat like silk and soft snores coming from the pale girl Nova's Dad smiled a little. She had taken their move quite well. When his job had gotten the offer for him to come to Sunnydale and make more money Nova had almost seemed like she was going to present him with the idea.

Nova's dreams were filled with..well vampires. She was remembering the first time that she had staked a vampire. It had been just over a month ago when some strange man had come to her and told her that she was 'the slayer'. She hadn't believed him at first who would have? But then the vampires came after her. Two huge ones and she didn't have a choice she reacted on instinct and ended up killing them. That was the moment she chose to believe the old man when he told heronce again that she was the slayer. She was also supposed to meet her 'watcher' here in Sunnydale. Nova hadn't wanted to think to much on the whole thing that was why she had fallen asleep on the drive from Texas to California.

Roo looked up at the Sunnydale High School sign. She was too old to be a student, but worked as a librarian Mondays through Thursday and on Friday in the canteen selling coffee. She pulled a face as some giggling first years passed her. She was so over this. Her thoughts drifted to the previous night in one of the gothic industrial nightclubs, one of the many nightclubs like that here. Her friend Mace was convinced he could curse people, had shown them all a strange book. But it could all be fake. Mace was always letting her down like that. Roo wanted something real to happen. Something to scare her so much she felt that addictive adrenaline. Instead she was stuck in boring as boring can be Sunnydale.

She walked to the Library, dumping her bag on the chair and directing some confused new students to the history section. Then she began putting returned books in their right place, plugging her mp3 player in. Another long day. But a bit of electro house always helped.

Emerald stpped into the musty hallway of Sunnydale High. SHe had always hated this school, ever since she started the only good thing was the wicca club and even then the group had lost all it's good members as they had moved away because of SunnyDales bad rep.

She only knew one person well and it was Sig, but he was quite young ((hope its ok to know him)) yet for his age he was good.

She stared around at all the different students, and then took her hood from her face to show her dyed red hair, and her green eyes, ironically how she got her name from her Mother.

Emerald got a quick spy of Roo in the library with the new girl, but let it pass as she really couldn't be bothered with conversation right now.

Another day of school... just like all the rest before, and exactly how each one after would go. Classes from eight till three, or, for those really obsessed with education, from seven. Sig was a good student, but he wasn't that good. He was smarter than... pretty much everybody, but he actually wanted time to enjoy his life, rather than spend it learning more than necessary. Well, that wasn't entirely true. Just, what Sig was learning in his free time was stuff you couldn't find even the library's occult section.

Sig meandered down the hall, rife with students preparing for the next class. As he walked, he pulled out a card from his front jeans pocket, where the entire deck was stashed. He held it flat between his middle finger and thumb, then began to spin it. It was a really simple and easy trick, but it looked damn cool, and garnered a giggle or two from some impressed students here and there. Sig was well-known for showing off like that. Not what one would expect from a kid looking the way Sig did. One glance and one would peg him for a studybug type.

He pocketed the card and picked up the pace towards his locker. He tried his best not to be late. He saw Emerald down the hall and called out to her. "Hey, Emmy!"


O heart, lament not, for this world is only metaphorical.
O soul, grieve not, for this abode is only transient.

Emerals turned and gave Sig a wave. She could see students around her all looking at him as he walked through the halls, just because he was smart.

Sig was like a little brother to her, but they only got to spend breaks and lunch together with her being in seperate classes. Unlike Sig Emerald never showed off and was only average in class, the only thing going for her was her easy to get along with personality.... but all the populars still thought she was weird and hated her for it, which was typical.

' So Sig you still on for tonight, were meeting in the graveyard' She grinned, they needed graveyad dirt for the spell they were attempting. It wasn't a huge one just a simple barrier spell which up till now they had never been able to do.

"Of course. Grave-digging is always fun." Sig that that a little sarcastically. The graveyard kind of spooked him, but he knew better than to be afraid of it. It was just... the thought of standing over hundreds of dead bodies that could, if he spoke the wrong words, quite literally jump out at him. Sig really did know a dead-raising spell. It wasn't the fancy kind, that brought a dead person back to regular life; it was corpse reanimation. Not pretty. But useful if one knew how to command the thing.

"Hey, check this out. Learned this one last night."

Sig pulled his trademark black-backed deck of cards from his pocket. He removed the cards from their box and handed the empty pack to Emerald to hold. He began going through a few face-up shuffles, and once finished, went through and pulled out the Ace through Four of Hearts, his favorite of the four suits. He showed them off a few times, then stuffed the deck of cards back into his pocket, retaining only the four cards. He thumbed through them with a magician's grace one last time, then rearranged their order, seemingly randomly.

"Okay, now comes the good part. Watch carefully."

He spread out the cards, and the Ace was now face-down. He squared them up, then repeated the gesture for each of the remaining three Hearts, turning the previous card back upright and the next card down without ever touching them. "And it gets even better," Sig said with a sly grin. He spread them out one last time, showing all the cards face-up, but then snapped his fingers--his trademark magical gesture--and turned the four cards over. They all had white backs now. He waved them over his pocket a couple times, then pulled out the pack from his jeans pocket. Sig went through each card, showing Emerald that all of the cards where now white.

"What do you think? No real magic, I swear."

Emerald gave a little aplaud 'Wowee Sig, your parlour tricks are improving' She patted his head before facing her locker.

She touched the locker and it popped open, which was one of her only magic spells she could do with out any chanting. She placed a few books inside it, dropping a picture of a boy on the floor. She quickly picked it up before Sig could see it and changed the subject before slamming her locker. 'So... the new girl started today, I think we should check her out see if she's interested in magic". The club had lost all it's numbers since a few bad things had happened in sunnydale, they were all to scared to get mixed up in magic and only Sig and Emerald were brave enough to continue.

Nova yawned loudly as she stepped out of her dad's car. They had just pulled up to their new house. "Morning Princess." Her dad called. Nova shieled her eyes against the bright sun light her crimson hair looking like blood against her pale skin. "Morning Dad." Nova called back to him sleepily. The moving men were already putting her stuff into the house.

"When do I start school again?" Nova asked her Father. "Not until tomorrow so don't worry about it." He told her. Nova nodded stretching her arms up high. She felt like her muscles were all tense.

Nova blinked looking around. She had gotten lost in her memory of coming to the new town. She slowly remembered where she was. She was in her new school. Oh goody now you are day dreaming as well? First your a vampire slayer now you day dream and get lost in them. Brilliant. Nova thought to herself. Standing up she dumped her uneated food off before heading towards the library. She was supposed to meet her watcher sometime soon.

Sig made a sad face. "Parlour tricks? Emmy, I'm insulted. This is genuine fake magic, here. People make a living off this stuff."

Sig turned to his own locker, which was separated by only a couple from Emerald's. He rifled through a few of his belongings, not even noticing the quick flash of Emerald's picture.

It was true that anything to do with magic and spells was regarded as taboo these days. The happenings in Sunnydale were no longer secrets shared by the supernatural beings around these parts. It took dedicated witches and wizards like Emerald and Sig to find pleasure in spellcasting these days.

"I think if we're going to introduce ourselves, we should try a more subtle approach. You know, work our way up to that. Don't want to scare her off, do you?"

Emmy nodded 'Ok so it's first period.... Ah man Math, gotta go Sig. DOn't want a detetion for our big night'. SHe smiled widely at him and gave him a hug then ran in the direction of maths.

On her way she thought about that picture, she herself didn't know who it was... other than he was important. It was laying on the bootom of her bed that morning and it had strange lettering on it. She wanted to ask for Sig's help but he may think she was making it up.

Around noon . . .


Sig stood in the cafeteria's long line, somewhere near the back. He kept up with the person in front by watching with his peripheral vision, but he was more concerned with scanning the gathered students in the large room. Like Emerald had wanted, Sig planned to make contact with the new girl this afternoon. Anybody with the guts to come into Sunnydale had to be worth the effort.

Sig's perfect memory made his job a little easier, as he would be able to pick out a new face the instant he saw it. He took another few steps forward, and then he saw her. Her stunning crimson hair would have made the girl easy to spot in any crowd. She sat alone at an empty table, too, which was an obvious sign she was new around.

An elbow to Sig's gut brought his attention back to the immediate area. He turned to see one of his buddies, a tall, lanky boy named Will. "Hey, Siggy. Checkin' out the new chick, eh?"

Sig shrugged. "Could say that."

Will chuckled. "I seen her up close. She's way outta your league, Siggy."

Sig rolled his eyes and gave Will a playful smack in the gut. "I told you to stop calling me that."

Will shrugged and grinned. "But that's what your mom calls you. Hey, I picked up a sweet new game over the weekend. Wanna come over and try it out tonight?"

"Can't."

"Why not? Watcha doing?"

"Some, uh... extra-curricular activities."

It was Will's turn to roll his eyes. "Don't tell me you're hanging out with that Emerald chick again. What the hell do you two do, anyway?"

"You know. Just stuff." If Sig said anything about magic, Will would probably keel over and die of laughter, right here on the cafeteria floor. Will was one of those skeptics, who really didn't believe in anything at all. To him, everything that went on in Sunnydale had a mundane explanation.

"You're into her, aren't you?" Will said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Emmy? No, not at all. We're just colleagues, that's all."

"Then gimme a break and come over tonight!" said Will pleadingly, his eyes drooping slightly.

Sig shrugged. "Sorry. Can't."

"Yeah, yeah. Catch you later, Siggy." Will jumped over the railing and made his way off somewhere else.

By now, it was finally Sig's turn to grab a tray. He let the lunch-ladies slap whatever they pleased onto his plate, and then he walked through the ever-thickening throng of students towards Nova. He set down his tray and took a seat directly opposite her. Hopefully Emmy would see them when she arrived.

"Hey," said Sig, a warm smile on his face. "Getting along alright so far?" Kind of an odd way to break the ice, but it would do.

Emmy ran out of her Englosh class, it had been boring as hell as usual and she couldn't wait t get a bite to eat.

She entered the cafeteria, she hadn't spotted Sig yet, but she had seen Will one of his goofy friends who seemed to dislike her spending so much time with sig.

'Heya Will' she said noticing who he was staring at, Sig and the new girl 'Oh don't tell me your jealous of this girl too... I mean Sig can't always be yours' She said sarcastically.

She winked at him playfully then grabbed an apple from the cafeteria and made her way to Sig's table.

Nova's head snapped up hearing a voice talking to her. Her startling green blue eyes widened. "I'm getting along fine thanks." She said. Her soft musical voice didn't hold any coldness towards Sig which was a good sign. "If you don't mind my asking. Who the heck are you?" Nova asked. She saw that he had a tray and figured that he had planned on staying around to talk with her so long as Nova didn't shove her pen down his throat like she had wanted to do the last boy who had talked to her.

Are slayers even aloud to have friends? Maybe there is some sort of rule that forbids them from having any friends at all....How would you tell someone that? Sorry I'm a vampire slayer we can't be friend. Nova gave a little smile thinking about it her bright even white teeth flashing before she took a bite out of her green apple turning her eyes back to Sig for her answer.

Roo walked into the cafeteria. She brought her own food, mostly because she was a healthfood nut and trusted herself more than the strange gloop here. She spotted Sig, then Emerald. Even though the two students were younger than her by a few years, she still thought them very mature. She hung round with them sometimes, though knew very little about them. She walked over to the table, matching step with Emerald. "Hey, haven't seen you for a while," she smiled, "Can I sit with you today? The staffroom smells of old kippers... As usual I suspect Mr Smookins is responsible.".

Strangely enough for Roo, who was so adoring of the occult, had no idea as yet of Emerald and Sig's "extra-curricular activities", but there was definately something about them Roo picked up on subconsciously. Maybe soon she would discover it.

Travis walked in to the cafeteria and sat down at a table by himself. He looked around at his new school. He watched as all the other students got their lunches and sat down with their friends. Travis Put his head down on the lunch table. "I hate being a new student and not knowing anyone." He muttered under his breath as he just sat there.

((Sorry, but for this RP you need to sign up in the corresponding Out of Character thread, and be accepted by the GM, before you can post in the IC. Click the link.))

((Becca, it's more than hilarious that you misspelled English... shows how much Emerald pays attention... lol... anyway, when it comes to situations like that, feel free to treat any random characters I create as NPCs.))

Sig raised his eyebrows. "Oh, how silly of me. I'm Sigmund Basch. Everybody calls me Sig." With his fork, Sig stirred around the mush that was supposed to pass for food around here. Honestly, he didn't really feel like eating it. In fact, he was losing his appetite just looking at it. Instead, he grabbed his chosen fruit for the day, a juicy, ripe pear, and braced his knife against his thumb to cut a thin slice away.

Emerald sat down a moment later, and Sig took the liberty of introducing her as well. "This is my friend, Emerald. We thought we'd say 'Hi' and welcome you to the school." Sig took a small bite out of the pear slice.

He began to ponder possible conversation topics when Roo, more of an acquaintance than a friend, stopped by as well. "Oh, hey Roo," said Sig. "It's okay with me." He turned to Nova. "Seems you're pretty popular already... um... I guess I didn't catch your name."

Emerald pulled a seat over for Roo 'I am surprized you had to ask to sit with us, your welcome anytime'.

She picked her fork up and took some of Sig's pear grinning, offering him some of her apple.

'Her name is Nova by the way' Emerald said taking another chunk from her apple 'I searched her records aready' she choked on her apple realzing how weird it was to be sneaking into the student files. 'I was doing a job for the headteacher... don't worry I wasn't being creepy'

She took a deep breath and slunk into her seet embarrassed.

Nova looked them all over for a moment blinking almsot as if she didn't believe that it had just happened. After a moment she had convinced herself that it had indeed happened and she pulled a big smile on to her face. "It's nice to meet you Emerald, Sig, Roo, thank you for coming and saying 'hi' to me. It's nice of you to do that." nova lookd at Emerald as she said she searched her records. Her sparkling green blue eyes narrowed just a fraction. "Of course not because being searched isn't creepy in the least even if it is for a teacher." Nova said jokingly. She didn't like the idea that people knew stuff about her. How much did they know? "She's right also my name is Nova." She added.

Adri was late for the first day of school. It was already lunch time, the day half over. With books in hand, and backpack full of her lunch, Adri stood in front of the school, looking up at it. "Wow. That's big." Nodding to herself, she took a deep breath before entering the inside. It was crowded. Squeezing through proved to be a little difficult. People wanted to get a look at the new girl. People wanted to crowd the new girl. Creepy..
Taking out the piece of paper with her locker number on it, Adri swore at herself under her breath. "Damn it. It's smudged. Good going Adri." Shaking her head, Adri held the paper up to the light to get a good look. "2500 or 2501..or 2600?"
Well, lets get this over with...after lunch.. Adri thought to herself, her stomach growling in agreement. "Now, all that's left is Cafeteria..Now.. Where's that?" Tapping her finger on her chin, she thought if she was a cafeteria, where would she be? Turning her head, she nearly bumped into someone who was carrying their lunch. "Ah, Sorry!" Cocking her head to one side, she pondered the thought for only a few seconds before following the person. Perhaps they will lead the way?

"Nova.... good to meet you." Sig shot Emerald an annoyed glance as she stole away a portion of his lunch, but politely refused the proffered reimbursement. Instead, he simply sliced away another chunk of his own fruit and bit into it.

"So, Nova, is there anything I can do to help you out? Show you around, force a stuck locker, introduce you to all the kids who'll do your homework... anything?"
