Autumn jumped when she heard someone knocking on the door and she accidently drew a line across her writing. She swore under her breath. Hiding her notebook and pen under the bed, she quickly got up and walked over to the door she heard the knocking come from. She pulled it open and looked at the boy who had knocked.

She gave a friendly, timid smile. "Hi. I'm Autumn. Who are you?" She kept glancing around nervously but kept the small smile on her face.

Amrytile walked outside too see if he could see anyone around,he walked outside and saw a girl basking in the sun.Amrytile dident know what to do,he just decided to bask in the sun around 30 yards from her.The girl dident notice him even though he was just a tree across,you see amrytile was shy amongst anyone so he kept his distance and just rested on the tree for a little while but then the girl looked his way,immediatly he looked away from the girl but then she looked away again not noticing that there was a boy sitting in the other tree.Amrytile wanted the girl too sit on the other branch not facing him,she was about too but then she stayed there instead so he decided too stay where he was for the moment.

Surma opened his eyes suddenly when he heard a flurry of words fly at him, leaning his head forwards again and turning it to look at the girl that was now stood beside the bench. For a moment, Surma seemed quite confused as to why she was actually talking to him, before what she said actually sunk in, then he realised what she meant. "I found that it only worked when I formed a sphere beforehand.. Before that, it would never form correctly.." He noticed how the girl backed off quite timidly, and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry about it.. You never ask you'll never know." Slowly, Surma held out his hand flat.

Looking down at his hand, Surma now spoke in a quieter voice, partially to help him concentrate. "You need to create a perfect orb.. if you don't, it simply won't work.." He concentrated hard on his palm until the shadows from under the bench crawled up his body and began to form in his hand. "You need to picture it in your mind... think about how it spins and twists.. the movement and energy.." Surma closed his eyes and the orb began to spin lightly, now almost floating in his palm. "And when you think it's ready.. add natural darkness.." he slowly placed his other hand over the sphere closing his eyes as he did, and finished his sentence. "Now concentrate on nothing but what you want to form.. empty everything, as the slightest thing can disfigure it.."

Surma carefully opened his hand to reveal a small rose made of pure darkness, which after a while, burnt up in his hand, and reverted to its former self. He released the orb of darkness and it sank back into the shadows, standing up from the bench. "That's all I can show you.. Please, excuse me." Surma walked past the girl and headed back towards his dorm room, "Good luck.." he called over his shoulder, his tone still unchanged by the event.

Keran slowly came from his imagination and murmured some words. "We would need so many chickens..." He smiles slowly, satisfied with his results. His eyes slowly shifted to a man in a black suit that seemed to be staring at the passing people, though he wasn't sure of this as the man had sun glasses on. Getting up from the bench slowly he would push pass the people going in the opposite direction too him until he was out of town and was at the crossroads once more. Slowly looking up to the signs once more.

He set forth once more, going in any real direction now. Before he knew it he was at an area with a large oak tree, he decided to sit under it and simply look up to the sky, as if watching how the clouds formed and disfigured over short periods of time. He let out another sigh, he wanted to sprout his wings and let loose, it was like a sort of drug to him, flying was too addicting for him to stop. His feet began to tap as he looked away from the sky. "Just a little longer, ah...Screw it."

He slowly stood up and closed his eyes; biting his lower lip he hoped no one would see him. Wings slowly sprouted from his back and pushed through the fabrics of his shirt so that his shoulder blades were visible. His skins colouring seem to simply drain leaving a snow white shade now. His iris also changed colour from its light green colour to a very light blue colouring.

He slowly looked up to the sky and let out a small smile. "Just a few more minutes..." He spoke confidently to himself as he looked up to the sky. His wings continued to grow until they were a measurable amount away from his body. His smile formed into a grin as his wings stopped growing.

Joss' arrival had been quite humorous for onlookers, if there were any. First off, she'd taken her sweet time to get off the ship. They had to drag the poor girl onto the docks because she'd been clinging to the mast like a mad woman. Heck, she'd just grown familiar to the ship. It had been her longest stay in one location since she left the research facility and it'd been more of a home to her than any place had been in two years! Finally, they had managed to drag the very disappointed girl onto the docks to join the assembly with the others. It would be a lie to say that she really paid attention to what was being said when the rules were named and explained, but most of it probably sank in somewhere into the back of her mind. That's always a good start, if anything. She followed the stream when retrieving her cardkey and map. A map, she'd seen before. Or rather, she was familiar with the concept since she'd looked at blueprints before. This kind of map was unfamiliar to her, however. Joss bumped between other youths on her way through the small town before reaching the academy itself. All the way, she'd been staring intently at her map.

Blueprints are significantly different from maps. While their function is just about the same... Blueprints have more detail. Yes. But maps! They had plenty of colour coordinations! This was frighteningly exciting and it showed. Wide-eyed and with her mouth slightly gaping, Joss had her nose buried in the map whilst she was walking up the steps to the academy building. She had no idea which wing she was going to, but that wasn't a problem yet. She'd... deal with that later. This map had her full attention for the time being.

Notably, a few of the employees standing around snuck a few weird glances her way as she entered the building and started circling about it with little coordination or purpose.

((sorry again.))

She looked up at him, suddenly feeling small, and smiled a little. "It's nice to meet you Nuriel, I hope I pronounced that right. I'm Autumn." Her gaze trailed off as she started to get shy again. She evntually settled on looking at her feet.

((forget it, ill meet you later i guess autumn, sorry adig Xo im an idiot sometimes..))

After about twenty minutes of searching Corinne had arrived at her room, it had been easy enough to find. The door had been left slightly open which meant that whoever her room mate was must already have made themselves at home.
"Guess I won't get first pick of the beds" she muttered to herself as she pushed the door open. The room was empty, her room mate must be out already. Corinne placed her belongings next to the empty bed and sat down. She shook her head at the backpack that had just been dumped on the floor, she didn't want a messy room mate, it was going to be hard enough to stay here as it was. She walked over to the black suitcase that had been placed on the bed by the window, what an idiot not bothering to check the door was shut when all her stuff was in here, she checked for a name tag on the case but couldn't find any. She glanced around at the bare, bright white walls... This room sure was cold. There was just nothing to it, hopefully she'd be able to do something about that some other time but for now all she wanted to do was crash. She threw herself onto the bed. She could always unpack later.

Nuriel arrives at his dorm, he opens the door to find all his stuff inside, just as the man said. He walked to his bed where his Diagonally slung backpack was waiting. He shrugged it on and looked around
No one here... yet... a well He thought to himself.
He decided to go out and see what this place had in store.

He walked around and saw people already making acquaintances and a few people making enemies. but for the latter he figured it was none of his business and hurried along.

He turned a corner and found the exit into town. He bumped through the crowd and came to a clearing in a crossroads he decided this was as good a time as any to stretch out. He began doing a few leg and arm stretches, and when he was done, he picked a building, He mentally drew a path up and set him self to run.

He exploded forward when he got about 3 feet away he jumped, and kick up the wall three steps and grabbed on to a window, he used his upward momentum to haul himself up and jumped the post sticking out of the building. he felt it bend under his weight, and used the snap to hurl himself up, and within seconds he reached the roof. He saw a big oak tree and decided to make that his next point. He ran forward and hopped roof tops. He could have just flown, but he nevr like depending on his wings, though he was an avid flier. He reached the last building and jumped off landing in a roll. He saw a guy standing there facing the other way. Nuriel was about to turn away when he noticed something sprout from his shoulder blades. Wings.

Excellent thought Nuriel as he walked forward. millions of things were buzzing through his head, would this new guy get along with him?, was he full angel or half angel like nuriel? Nuriel began to unfurl his wings through the nearly unnoticable slits in his shirt, incase the guy took off before he had a chance to introduce himself.

"Hey!" He called trying to look friendly.

Amrytile dropped off from the tree in shyness and walked back to his dorm to go to his room,he still hasnt met a single person in the school so for now hes preety much just walking around the school site for now atleast.Then suddenly he saw a girl standing around in the middle of the hallway,amrytile walked off due to his really bad shyness which is keeping him from meeting anyone in the school.Amrytile went to his room to find no one in it so it was true he did have no room mate,he sighed with relief.Then he walked out of his room to go wander around again too see the same girl,this time he walked towards her too see who she was as he approached her he got more and more nervous until he finally said something "hello......... whats your name?".

She was still studying the map. For some reason beyond reason and understanding, it fascinated her something horrible. When someone spoke nearby, her attention jumped from the map and towards the source of the voice. She arched an eyebrow momentarily and gave the approaching boy a very awkward and uncertain look. Judging by her very twisted expression, she made no effort whatsoever to really hold back on her impression. She looked confused and hesitant, but eventually she'd flash one of the brightest smiles you'd ever seen.

"Hello! I'm Joss and I've never been here before!"

For someone who was quite obviously lost in a foreign galaxy, she was awfully sparkly in behaviour. That smile still lingered across her lips.

"I've never seen a blueprint like this. Really, it looks pretty crude. It looks like something a child would make. There's no instructions, no circuits, no digits, and no information of importance." The girl tapped the paper on which the map was printed. "And it's not got enough blue."

Turning over on her back to look up at the tree leaves of the cherry blossom tree she was in Chloe grinned. Reaching her fingers out she began to play air piano. She wasn't very good and had anyone been listening to the music in her ears they would have realized that she was pretty off key. Chloe didn't mind though, it was when you enjoyed music the moment that you messed up and had an appreciation for what the meaning behind it was. After all Chloe's mom once told her a philosophy that Chloe likes to think back on everyday. You've got to close your eyes to really see. Taking a deep breath and inhaling the scent of the cherry blossoms Chloe smiled and decided that it was about time she got out of the tree. After all she didn't want the back to stain up her clothes.

Briefly she head someone yell 'hey' but Chloe paid no attention to it. She didn't feel as if they hey was directed at her. Rolling out of the tree Chloe flipped over once in the air to land on her feet. Landing in front of a guy, with black hair and red eyes though it didn't phase Chloe, walking back towards the dorms Chloe stood up smiling cheerfully at him. "Sorry about that, I was just lounging in the tree there. You should try it sometime, pretty comfortable." She told him before clasping her hands behind her back swaying from side to side slightly. "You were singing earlier and playing the guitar, I saw it. That's pretty neat, glad to know that someone else has a grasp of music in them. Well, it was nice to meet you, I'm Chloe by the way. I think I'm going to go stroll through the gardens." With that Chloe turned and headed towards the gardens she had spotted from her place up in the tree.

"And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand..." Chloe sang to herself softly. She had turned her Itouch down low enough so that she could hear if anyone spoke to her. "Anyone is free to join me in the gardens. It will be fun exploring the parts of the grounds that we are allowed to be in." Chloe called out loud enough for anyone within a 50 feet range to hear. Swooping down she gently picked a flower and tucked it behind one of her ears, her smile never wavering from her face almost like a gentle air amongst a world of stoic.

Sighing quietly to herself, Autumn closed her notebook. She placed it on her pillow and pocketed the pen with her mini notepad. She got up and made sure that she had the cardkey before she left the room. Shutting the door behind her, she then walked out of the dorm, deciding to explore the campus. Once outside, she heard someone call out about being in the gardens, so she started to walk that way.

Rocky woke up from her sleep and yawned. Where was she? Oh yah the stupid school. She good up and stretched. She was still a cat. Transforming back to her Neko/human form she started to rummage through her backpack. When the lady had given her her key she had also given her a map. Ahha! There it was. She pulled it out and unfolded it. Running her finger along the paths she decided to go to the gardens. Pulling out her key she slipped it in her back pocket along with the map which she had refolded. It wouldn't do to get lost or locked out of her room on her first day. Closing the door softly behind her she left and headed out to the gardens. The map hadn't shown it being far, so here was no point in bringing her bike. Once in the gardens she spotted a bench by a rather large oak tree. She sat down and pulled out her iPod.

Clare thought over what he said, not really minding the hurrying away thing. She was used to being left out and ignored. She thought he would ignore her. He called out good luck. "Thanks!" She kept repeating what he said in her head, as she walked back to her dorm. She steps inside, half expecting a roommate to be here. Walking in, she sees a girl on the other bed, looking almost already unpacked. "Huh, your my roommate? Sorry for the mess, I was kinda hyped up when I got here." She shrugs, and sits on her own bed. Feeling a bit nosey again, she asks, "What are you? I er mean, why they make you come here?" She offers a smile, and holds out her hand to shake. "I'm Clare."

"Oh hello joss my name is amrytile,you wanna know how too read that map just follow me ill just show you too the dorms there just up ahead and then you turn right and you see them,dont let anyone figure out what you are if they do find out what you are they could hurt you because of past wars that may have made there race suffer becuase of your race so just quickly go in your door room" amrytile sais polietly.He walked up the hallway and wondered if he made a friend here but what he did know is this girl was very confused but still he had no idea what she is or why her race are been observed here at the academy.They ended up at the end off the hallway "Its just up there and i hope i see you again" for the first time amrytile was very confident.

Corinne had closed her eyes and was just drifting into a nap when she heard someone walk into the room, her eyes shot open and she looked up to the doorway where a girl had just walked in. It would seem her room mate had returned.

"Huh, your my roommate? Sorry for the mess, I was kinda hyped up when I got here." the girl said, well maybe this wasn't the messy person Corinne had been expecting, she felt a rush of relief and smiled at her new room mate as she went and sat down on her own bed. "What are you? I er mean, why they make you come here?" the girl asked, smiling and offering her hand "I'm Clare".

Corinne sat up on her bed and took Clare's hand "I'm Corinne. I'm an angel. Pleased to meet you." with that Corinne swung her legs off the bed and pulled herself to her feet "Time to unpack I guess" she laughed and looked over to her new room mate.

Sinking into the sound of his own heartbeat, Koji tried to keep his eyes opened, the truth was that he was exhausted. A man who seemed very pissed of enterd the room where he was been held at. It was not only a very painfull looking situation, but some comedy side was not too far away, Koji was sitting down tied to a chair, in a room where a small coat of ice was idulging the walls, nothing to laugh about but the fact that they sat him down next to boxes filled with ice cream buckets.

The man carefully removed a muzzle that was forced on koji, it didnt take him that long to actually begin and apologize " We apologize for taking this messures Koji Azura, but the fact that you attacked some of our men.." , before he could continue koji demanded in a very crude tone " Untie me....now.... " . The man seemed too confident in himself , the man was not worried, koji had been ambushed/outnumberd and succesfully captured once. The man untied him from the chair, looking at how koji stretched out his hand into a box pulling out an ice cream bar. Now having a better idea of the kind of people that where around him, he simply kept walking out of the room, coming out the back of an ice cream shop.

" Just becouse you got lucky once...." a small sigh interrupted his own trail of toughts " I don't like hot places, if this is the coldest room you have, ill take it" , the man seemed almost amazed of how easy things where going out for him, " Well, we already made a few arrangements to what will be your room...we might send over a roommate sooner or later who can take does low temperatues " , Checking his pockets , the items he needed, including the cardkey where already statched inside. Nothing else to say to each other, the man came outside the room and closed the door, looking at koji wander off into the crowds eating his ice cream bar.

There was only absolute silence coming from Joss while the strange boy spoke to her. Her entire brow slowly lowered and her eyes narrowed into a squint as she studied him whilst he spoke, trying to listen to what he was saying and figuring out what it all meant. It was strange information, really. A map? The first time she had heard that word was back at the assembly at the docks, and then she hadn't truly understood what exactly a map was. The piece of paper she was holding was just a crudely made blueprint for all she cared and knew. She glanced carefully into the map during Amrytile's little speech. Whatever he just said didn't help her understand this 'map' any more than she already did.

She awkwardly and silently followed the boy through the hallways as he guided her over in the direction of the dorms. Well, that's what he told her, at least. Speaking of which; She didn't really know what a 'dorm' was, either, but she held back on asking for the time being. She figured that she'd find out once she got there. The remark about races and wars had flown right over her head. It didn't relate to her in the least and thus, she didn't see a need to take it to heart. She had no real intention to be speaking about what or who she was, either way. Why would that even interest anyone?

Standing at the end of the hallway with the strange boy, Joss frowned quietly and took her sweet time to take in the new area so she could see where she'd wound up. This was all new and strange to her and it showed. The further they had walked inside the building, the more uncomfortable and awkward she seemed to be. She fidgeted with the map and pulled up her shoulders around her neck in a protective manner. Once the two of them had halted, she stared silently at Amrytile for a good minute.

"... What's a 'dorm'?"

Surma was walking back when a girl dropped down in front of him, making him stumble back a little bit and pull a face that cleary showed confusion. "Sorry about that, I was just lounging in the tree there. You should try it sometime, pretty comfortable." He raised an eyebrow, but before he could respond she set off into her next words. "You were singing earlier and playing the guitar, I saw it. That's pretty neat, glad to know that someone else has a grasp of music in them. Well, it was nice to meet you, I'm Chloe by the way. I think I'm going to go stroll through the gardens." Surma had no time to say anything before the girl started on her way. "I'm Surma.." he spoke after her, just before she was too far away to hear, and so she would now at least know his name.

Returning to his dorm room, Surma placed his guitar down and took out a slip of paper, writing a quick and easy to read note, Keran, PLEASE do not touch this, it is very important to me. He stuck the note on the guitar case, and stuffed it under his bed, hoping nothing would cause damage to it. Surma left the room once again, and a strage feeling filled him as he walked through the academy. He realised that for once in his life he had a new start, and he could be anything that he wanted to be. Although this was true, he knew it wouldn't change much. Old habits die hard.. he sighed as he thought about it. I can act however I like here.. and no one will know anything.. But I know I can't change what it is that makes me a Demon... Although a depressing thought, it carried with it the knowledge that he was sane, and that he knew exactly what he was.

Surma kicked along the ground as he made his way into the town, hoping he'd find something worth doing or seeing. He hadn't really taken much in on his way to the campus, but now he decided was a better time than any to get his barings. Surma rubbed his eyes and yawned slightly, still pretty tired from the long boat trip. "Stupid boats.. I've never liked boats.." he muttered to himself as he thought about how much easier the trip would have been in planes or choppers. He didn't really care though, he was here now, and he planned to make the most of it. Closing his eyes for a moment, Surma let out a small calculated sigh, before suddenly he hit something, or someone, and stumbled back. "Augh! What the-.." Surma looked down to see splatered icecream on his shirt, then look up to see an unhappy looking guy stood before him. "You've got a great aim mate.. perfect.."

"A place where people sleep if they are staying in a school which is used to teach people how to do stuff like read,write and maths,a map is something that guides you around to places for example if you face towards a room and you see a big room and the map says theres a big room upahead you know your going the right way,the race wars are basiacly fights between other planets and races like angel vs demon so they might hurt you because your race fought there race either a really long time ago,recently,or they are still fighting either by force or politically".Amrytile was slightly confused that the girl dident know what a dorm was or even a map and fighting it was a little worrying for someone here they, might not last long.

"Like a bedroom or a cabin, right?"

The sound of logic, right there. Joss tilted her head over to the side to add on to the thoroughly confused expression she was already giving. Well, what do you do? If she doesn't know, you might as well help her along. Following his explanation of the racial wars, the girl fell quiet again. Her expression blanked out and she simply stared quietly at him.

Angels and demons? The only time she'd heard anything about them was when she was made to read some booklet back at the research facility. For anyone more knowledgeable than Joss, they'd know that this book was in fact the Christian Bible. Joss? She had absolutely no clue. For all she cared and knew, it could've just been another tale and portrayal of someones wild imagination. She was taught a very long time ago that most of what is written on paper is something out of a human mind. Most of the time, it's not necessarily real.

Joss' lips parted as if she was about to say something, but they quickly sealed tight again as she thought better of it.

((This was a test. Sorry! Disregard this.))
