Akamori: The First Snow

Akamori: The First Snow

0 INK

Akamori High School is now on its last legs, suffering from a devastating blow due to a scandal. With enrollment at an all-time low, does this year’s batch of rag-tag students have what it takes to turn this historic school around?

2,239 readers have visited Akamori: The First Snow since Run created it.

Introduction

Image


In the pamphlet you received in the mail from Akamori High School it reads as follows in the 'Message from the Headmaster' section:

The leaves are red today, full and proud, reaching up to the highest echelons of the sky here at Akamori High School. As I sit here descrying the campus, I realize how much we have aged together, Akamori and I, and how much we have yet to see. There are so many wonderful students, with so many talents and abilities out in the world today; the future of our country hinges on their quality of education.

I will never forget when I, as a young lad, came to Akamori. I clutch my travel bags tightly in my then too small hands; scampering up the same mountain side stairs, you’ll do the same, that lead to our lovely grounds. Akamori in Bloom is what they called it, flowers and birds seemed to rejoice at my very existence, and the splendid historical buildings subdued my giddiness into a respectful silence. "Shin no heiwa", they call it, "true peace". As I watch the red leaves of the Japanese red maple dance as they find their way down to the bosom of the earth, I feel 'true peace' once more.

At Akamori High School you will be like the leaves of these trees, fresh and green, ready to absorb the information to grow to new heights. You will expand your world, and take your first steps towards becoming the leaders of tomorrow. So you can of course see why I am so excited, yet respectful of the consideration you are taking towards Akamori High School. One day, when I'm long gone and dead, which of you will rise up to lead Japan into a new era?
The occasion calls for a Haiku:

My old bones, rejoice,
Spring's here at Akamori,
Students, fresh green buds.

Gentle, loving care,
We shall forever invest,
As Green turns to Red.

After the turning,
Red leaves, falling from the sky,
Hark! Your first, red snow.


--Watanabe Kirishima the First (1886 - 1958)


Note: Current Headmaster Watanabe Kirishima the Third feels that his grandfather's words still ring true after all these years, and thus, has decided to not change the introduction message that is has been an integral part of Akamori High School's history and overall goal.



Please fill out the skeleton guide and information provided on the OOC thread for information to insure your character is selected.

Toggle Rules

1. Be respectful of one another.
2. Listen to GM instructions, especially the ones PM’d to you. These are to help alert you of possible choices your character can take.
3. No god-modding, you get one warning. If you continue, you will be god-modded into expulsion and hopefully that will teach you a lesson.
4. No teacher/student relationships, this isn’t that kind of role-play.
5. Follow the RPG rules in regards to romance, violence, and language. You get one warning for each.
6. Ignoring other role-players is rude, this isn’t a kickable offense, however we as GMs will take note and make your IC life miserable if you ruin others enjoyment. Yes, you can dislike other characters, but you must show that you the one playing the character acknowledged that it happened. ((i.e. Maria looked the nerd up and down for a moment before turning away, not bothering to give him another second of her time. Or, Hanase was late to his club meeting and didn’t notice En as he ran by. ))
7. If you want to interact with a teacher, please pm the GM in charge of that character and we will give you the correct IC actions for it.
8. If you have any questions about what is or isn’t acceptable, send a GM a pm, we’ll get back to you in 12 hours or less.
9. If you have a problem with any of the rules or anything else, please feel free to talk to us. We aren’t monsters and are willing to compromise. The goal of this RP is fun.
10. Please work on keeping the quality up on your posts, we will pm you letting you know where glaring errors are, please change them so that it's enjoyable to read. Mistakes happen. But if you aren't willing to change your mistakes and use spell check then you might not last too long in this RP. Three strikes and you are out (for excessive sloppiness, not honest mistakes).
11. No canon characters. We took the time to create a lovely and original environment and plot for you, the least you could do is take thirty minutes to make an original and deep character.
12. Last rule! Two paragraphs minimum per post. And a paragraph should be at least four sentences, preferably five. Max seven paragraphs unless you are doing a single post for the day and need to fill in all the information, then make it as long as it needs to do to cover the information (because we appreciate you doing your job.)

"Hn, I was unaware of this rule, it seems a bit strict does it not sensei? However, I would thank you for informing me of it." She bowed lightly, though she was of higher station he was still sensei.

"And I am glad to meet you also, Shin'ichi-san. I look forward to speaking with you again and I hope that you would let me take up some of your time in conversation." She bowed to her fellow student, and shadowed her face so that he would not see the small twitch at the corner of her eye when she thought of her father and the way he managed 'his' company, it was as good as hers at this point. She would not let that child take her birthright away from her!

Toshi Kotoa kept a serene smile on her face that she made to look blank and air-headed, just as her father and every other person expected of women of her station. It would be best for her to seem this way, easy malleable and polite to an informal degree. Such was her lot in life, though she did have to say that such a facade did help keep any kind of suspicion off of her back, allowing her to run her father's company from the shadows, unseen.

"Thank you for taking me sensei, and thank you for your compliment, though I am sure it is overly-flattering about me..." Only her eyes could say otherwise to her perfectly oblivious expressions, they were cold and hardened to the outside world if seen in a certain light, sometimes it has been said that they contain flames of cold fire, flickering just beneath the surface of glass, only truly seen in situations in which she must be cold and ruthless - but when it happens it is bright an unmistakable. Well, if you believe the rumors that is.

Toshi took in the information the teacher was offering her so freely, intelligence was never amiss, perhaps she should start carrying her little black book around with her more often so that she could write these things down... Perhaps, she though as she fell into step just behind and to the side of the sensei. I think I will take Latin. This sensei seems so eager to spill all of these personal and intimate details, that and Latin would be a useful language to know, I think.

#, as written by Chari
Ichi had been momentarily shocked by what sensei had said. He could tell that much about them after having seen them only 10 minutes ago? It had been the right choice to come here to Akamori. Kou-sensei seemed like he was an excellent coach. After three years here, it would only be Ichi's own fault if he didn't develop. He had to work extra hard to make sure that he could become an ace. And if Ki-kun could develop into a great striker... Well, the sky was the limit! They could do anything! Ichi smiled and said, "Hai, sensei, I will try and show you that your faith was not misplaced. Ki-kun and I will prove it."

After Ichi finished his statement, he realized that they had already reached their dorm room. As Kou-sensei opened the door, Ichi heard a rattle. Suddenly, a bucket of water fell from above onto the teacher, dousing him with water. Ichi only just contained a laugh; the senseis had to be the people who put it there, and they fell for their own prank? That was hilarious.

Looking inside the room, Ichi noted that it was pretty plain. All dorm rooms were, at first. Until the residents got settled in, of course. Ki-kun's stuff was all on his own bed, so Ichi looked to the other. It held his luggage and belongings, and he started to unpack too. One thing he took out was an old beat up football. He placed it in the corner of the room, out of the way, but still visible. Responding to Ki-kun's question, he said, "Well, I like hot showers, so maybe you should go first so that I don't use all the hot water. Too bad there are not any hot springs at the school..." He sighed theatrically and got back to his unpacking. He wanted to be done in time to be able to get downstairs in time to maybe get outside before dinner and go for a little jog.

Masako finished the calming brew within the porcelain bowl. With a bright smile across his face he slowly and politely bowed his head once more for his very gracious host and then once again towards his servant. "Thank you, I am greatly honored." he proposed. His eyes somewhat motioned over to the dorm manager once more and the other student that had wandered within here. As she departed he merely raised his hand upwards hailing her with a soft and polite tone "Thank you very much for your time." he proposed before he rose from his seat upon the floor.

The amount of students still in the common rooms were lacking, the only real activity happening was the set of servants bring the vast assortment of boxes moving about the campus. The young man somewhat motioned back to his own trunk, the heirloom as he inspected it once more. Masako somewhat opened the large antique container, revealing many flaps of neatly folded clothes, personal and accessories. His eyes found itself to a book, a read he had brought along to sharpen his own wit. The Translated Works of Trediakovsky were in his tender hands as he took a seat down at the sofa.

Neatly closing the trunk and reattaching the lock, he began to resume the works of the Russian Writer. The concept of discussing poetry in relations to a culture which language had not experienced before (many Russian Upper Class more fluent in french than the so called 'peasant language') was always a fascinating read. It was a talk of expressing emotion from what was original silent and unspoken in the literate world of that day and the theories behind it always reminded Masako that those were the corner stone for works in a much later era.

Thus the student stood reading in silence at the sofa, somewhat waiting for the dorm managers to arrive and bring him to his room. Thoughts began to speculate about his room mate, what he may be like, what sort of music he might like, what things he might like to do, what family did he come from, what he might aspire to be.

Masako had shared a room before. The Suzuki household was a rather crammed place when it came to bed rooms but sharing a room with his younger sister was always reminded him why he grew his hair this long to begin with.
