April 11th, 2011 (Day 1) - 6:00AM - Island of Light

As the last of the ships arrive at the Island of Light docks, the sun is just begining to rise over the sea, and the beautiful landscape of the island is breathtaking. The dock is filled with hundreds of people, and the atmosphere is full of exitement and giddyness. The students are not alone, a group of people who look like the FBI agents you see in some crime drama are scattered around the nearby area, watching over the arrivals. No one is able to see the Academy from here, as a slight upward slope severes the line of sight from the docks. The island has a city just infront of the campus, filled with shops and places to eat. This rests just before the campus, and behind the campus, is a large forested area. Boys and Girls dorms are in place in the campus also.

Back at the docks, a well built man, looking almost as if he has fought wars everyday of his life steps up on a piece of staging, carrying a bullhorn in his hand. "OK! Quieten Down!" the mans voice is rough and sharp like broken glass, his words filled with intimidation. "You can all consider this your assembly.. First off, Rules." The man paces the surface of the staging and looks over the hundreds of faces that stare back. "One, You will be out of the city and in the campus by 12o'clock if your under 18.. anyone caught breaking this rule, will be dealt with. Two, you are responsible for your powers and abilities.. If you use them abusively, we will take action. Three, do not attack any of the staff for any reason, we will take this very seriously.. And finally, we do not allow the use of narcotics.. If you are found out, you will be dealt with seriously." The man glares out over the faces once again.

"Now.. There are two boys dorms, and two girls dorms.. The boys dorms are B1 and B2, and the girls are G1 and G2. You will all be given a room number that will look something like this," The man points at a large sign behind him that reads, "64-G2" and continues to speak. "This will direct you to your dorms. Chances are you will have a room mate.. try to get on with them. If you cannot get on with your room mate for any reason.. Deal with it." The man looks at his watch before looking back to the crowd. "You lesson timetables will be given to you tomorrow.. So spend today exploaring and finding your feet.. You will now all be given a map of the Island. The zones that are marked in red are prohibited, and if you try to go there for fun, our armed watch towers might see you as a threat..." the crowd stiffens for a moment, looking at one another. "Ok.. Now go. Collect your room numbers and maps at the gate, and don't worry about your luggage, it will be moved to your room by our staff."

The man leave the stage and disappears into a nearby building, leaving the students to begin their lives on the Island of Light.
