Soul Threads is currently being remade into a novel by Lurelle, Kit_Kat, and leopardspotz17.
Roleplay theme:

San Francisco, 2018 C.E
The connection between animals and humans through Soul Threads have existed since anyone can remember. An animal finds a way to their human from birth and both adapt to each other's attitude and temper. The animal remains with their person for the rest of their lives, and for a while it was just living normally with their animal.
But now, in modern day, the people have realized the potential of their Threads. They attend a special school, Soul Thread Academy, or STA. Here they train and learn, with classes specialized for their animal partner. Things have gone well, the academy's tenth anniversary celebration is coming up and the students are excited. But one student sees this as an opportunity to destroy the fragile Soul Thread connection permanently..
For a long time, only powerful and rich families could attend the STA. But now everyone with a Thread and good grades can join this 'friendly and social learning community'. The disciplinarian principal, Mr. Kingston, holds this reputation tightly and will do anything to uphold the STA name.
But there's always a bad guy, isn't there? It would seem so. After the defeat of Vincent West, Jamie's corrupt father, there's another man out there who's plotting against the school. But he's in a different country completely; but he's all around. New laboratories are popping up everywhere. The police and government are supporting them.. why not? However, this man is intrigued in Soul Threads and believes that he can make them better. Experimentation and captivity are all that await those who become subjects at his laboratory. The two sides are at civil war, the STA students, a bunch of under-trained, naive kids versus the brilliant, well-funded scientist group under a notorious name. Other creations, including corrupt Soul Threads themselves, are being sent to capture students and kill anything that gets in their way. Disappearances are beginning to worry the school, and students fear it may be shut down. But these kids have no where to go, most of their families are dead or won't accept them. Our villain here seems intent on getting his hands on our good friends here who completed the mission to save Jamie and destroy the headquarters of her father. Because, well, they're a little different than the others.
So what are you going to do? Remain at the school and protect your friends, and risk getting taken yourself? Or going out to eliminate branches of laboratories around the world? Even to destroy the head of the madness?

[Huma]
Huma was wet but he didn't really min, it was kind of cooler now. Lukas talked to him and he decided it wouldn't hurt him to meet someone new. He got up and walked away a few feet. "Hey, Coad, um.. Prince, you guys wanna play a game? I've got just the thing. The things I do for that boy.

Prince looked up at her, and the pair had a silent discussion.
'I think they're okay,' Andra's look was saying to him.
Prince nodded, but his eyes expressed humored concern: Me too. I like them so far. But watch yourself with that tour!
Andra just raised an eyebrow, telling him she knew how to be careful.
She stroked his head, told him to go have fun, then sat in the grass next to Lukas and the other boy
[Prince]
Prince turned away from his Thread and towards the bear, nodding his head and good-naturedly growling a response as he walked over. "Sure, why not? What's the game?"

She finished her model of the tiny, perfect robot. The image of the same robot sat on the screen, showing them what they were supposed to do. The classroom was a horribly messy, darkened classroom with materials and metal stacked to the ceiling. The nerdy guy had just finished with a B+ robot. Jamie was accused of somehow cheating; a look from Tasarin earned her the proper A+ she deserved. "Next." she said boredly as the girl with the dog burst into tears. Her robot had caught fire.
An hour after fifth period was study hall, then free time. 5:00 was dinner, it was always mandatory to be in the dining hall, so the principal could drone on about boring things to you. Then it was free time until 10:30 which was lights out. No one ever slept that early, so they let that rule slide. Jamie drummed her fingers on the table, impatiently awaiting her next assignment. She completed each one easily and quickly, and Tasarin would grab the supplies needed until the door opened ever-so-slightly.
"Miss West. The principal wants you. Now."
Jamie quietly let herself be led away, Tasarin shooting dirty looks at those who stared. She kept her hood on, a wicked grin on her face. Once in the main office, she removed her hood when asked the fifth time. "Can I help you?" She smiled innocently at the principal, who stared at her with a clenched jaw.
"Your .. bird has been reported several times for attacking a student. What do you have to say for this!" he had to yell at the end, over Tasarin's furious screeches. The office people stared.
Jamie put a hand over Tasarin's head, silencing him. "Aw, Tasarin? He would never hurt anyone. You must be very mistaken. I'm sorry for the confusion, perhaps look for another hawk?"
with that, she flipped her hood on and pushed the doors open, exiting and dismissing herself. The principal watched in shock as she left. Oh, this would be talked about for a while. Whispers could be heard from inside the classrooms as the students watched Jamie from the windows.

[Coad]
The wolf Thread had joined Prince and Huma, his tongue lolling out from his mouth, still excited and ready to play a game. "Sounds fun, Huma. And nice to meet you, Prince," Coad said, nodding to the lion. Both Hma and Prince were taller than him, and bigger than him, but maybe he could outrun them. And outhide them. His lithe body was helpful to move swiftly, and his muscles were well-worked and strong. "What's the game?"

[Huma]
"Well the game is called-" The bell cut him short YES! Thank you! "Aww guys, that's just too bad. This was gonna be so much fun... Maybe some other time ey fellas?" Then he started to walk up to Lukas as the other Threads followed. He hoped the boy wasn't going to try and make him do something else like dance with a tutu or sing a song in bear.

Come on, we just sat down, too! Oh well. But he said electives. What's mine again...
Andra whipped her schedule out of her pocket, and looked at her elective.
"You're into music too? Sweet! I guess I'll be following you there, because that's where I'm going!" She said to him excitedly. "Come on, Prince. Sorry you couldn't get your game going," She said to her Thread as he walked over, looking mildly amused.
Oh, yes. Huma looked so disappointed that he couldn't play, he was saying. Andra rolled her eyes and looked expectantly at Greyson and Lukas.
"Where to, guys?"

The wolf looked back at Huma and Prince as Greyson stood, ready to leave for the last class of the day, saying, "I'll see you both later, okay?"
Greyson was already walking towards the builing which held their elective. Coad trotted quickly after him to catch up, looking around the courtyard at the rest of the hurrying Threads and students.

"Oh, I play the piano mostly, but I'm also pretty competent with a violin and guitar. Stringed instruments are my thing," she said, shrugging. "I would like to hear your drumming skills though. This sounds like a fun class."
The conversation fell into small talk about their Threads and their families until they reached their classroom, and Lukas kindly held the door open for Andra then followed her inside, where they looked for a place to sit down.
((OOC: are we gonna skip over most of what happens in the class itself and go to the next period after the next post? What do you think, Midnight?))

But Jamie was gone.
With a smirk, she and Tasarin shut her dorm room door. Fifth period was still going on. There was no doubt that there would be consequences for her actions, but frankly, she didn't care.
"Alright, Tasarin. I give you a nine out of ten for today's evil."
I give you a nine. Walking out on the principal? Genius." The dark hawk seemed to reply as it straightened the feathers of it's right wing. Jamie shrugged and set the bird down on her desk. She turned the nearby lamp on, and the many inventions, experiments, and complicated machines set shadows against the wall. They rested upon wooden shelves that had been neatly nailed into the tan wall, on three sides of her dorm. Jamie strode over to an empty spot and slid the damaged cube next to a small chunk of metal that looks like a mixture between hook and tweezers. She ran her thumb along the side before selecting another experiment off the shelf. She returned to her desk.
"Screwdriver." Tasarin fluttered to a large bin and took a moment to find it. He brought it to Jamie, clutched in his talons. She stroked his head as thanks. "Automated self-charging-electronic screwdriver."
"Done." Tasarin, who had been perched on Jamie's bed post with his head tucked under his wing, awoke and blinked, bleary with sleep. He flew down and observed - the mess of metal and cloth that Jamie had retrieved earlier was now a shiny .. robot? "It'll hold the Cube until tonight. Even with the damaged power source, the wood around the Cube has begun to disintegrate. It's a wonder it didn't put a hole in my pocket."
She placed the tiny Cube inside a hole in the robot's back, and while it stirred, she left the desk and returned shortly, holding fire tongs. They were clutching a minuscule sliver of bright blue matter, and with slow, precise movements she fit the matter into the cube.
"Ready for tonight." she grinned wickedly while Tasarin screeched in dark excitement.

But Greyson actually liked art, and was somewhat good at it. He took his seat with Coad next to him, in the middle of the classroom. He pulled the chair out from under the desk, and Coad hopped up when Mrs. Carthy wasn't looking. She wouldn't have minded anyway.
"Today, class, we are going to go outside and walk around the school grounds and the courtyard, and sketch something that interests you. If you'll go to the door, I'll lead you out there." The room stood, students talking and running into eachother, the occasional snap between Thread and Thread, and walked after Mrs. Carthy. She led them out into the courtyard, and said, "Go on, make it detailed!" She handed each of them a pad, a piece of paper, and a pencil. Greyson sat underneath the tree where he, Coad, Lukas, Huma, Andra, and Prince had eaten lunch. He and his Thread glanced around, thinking of something unique to draw.

Class was quick. There were many different styles but eventually, the sound of a steady beat filled the air. Lukas played the drums skillfully and matched every tune to a perfect beat on the set. Alexa joined in on the piano while a boy with bowl-shaped hair played the saxophone. Soon, most of the students had joined in and an amazing rock tune was played out until the end of class. The teacher had just sat and watched. When class ended he slapped Lukas on the back. "Wonderful show, that was probably the best noodling I've heard in years. Tomorrow we're going to learn how Jazz started" And just like that, 5th period had ended and dinner started. Lukas walked up to Andra and held out his arm. "That was an amazing song we played don't you think? Care to join me for dinner?"

... But even better, what if he's not playing?
"Lukas, I would be honored to join you for dinner. And yes, that was an awesome song, or "noodling" as the teacher told you. Hehe. You are quite the percussionist."
After a few moments of walking towards dinner, Andra spoke up to make conversation. "So, any idea what's on the menu for tonight's entree?" She gave a little half smile, fully aware of the fact that she was still holding his arm. Both of them seemed pretty relaxed, and his hands were in his pockets, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking without Prince being there to pick up little signals like he did.
Then again, that makes it a little more interesting, doesn't it? She thought to herself.

He waited until the noise died down and heads turned to him. Jamie slid into a seat just in time - next to a girl and boy paying close attention to the man on the podium. Tasarin was still riding her shoulder and gave nasty glares at those who tried to remove him. Animals weren't typically allowed in the dining area.
"Welcome to your first day at Soul Thread Academy! I suppose that's a rather belated greeting, but one nonetheless. So, how were your classes?" he positively beamed at the murmurs that rippled through the hungry students. "Good, good. Well, I know some of you have met me, from previous years, or just today.." his gaze lingered on Jamie before moving on. "My name is Mr. [need a name, suggestions?]. Once again, welcome, and enjoy your year here. Don't forget to learn something!" he smiled good-naturedly. The buzz of students laughing, talking, gossiping, whispering, and clamoring over their dishes took up immediately.
Jamie hesitantly opened the lid of her tray. Typical kid food. Her dish had a whopping serving of macaroni and cheese, a slice of bread and apple slices. White and chocolate milk were being passed around. Not everyone had the same meal, a girl near Jamie had roast chicken and potatoes. A smaller plate came skidding toward Jamie and she caught it, setting it down for Tasarin. Raw mystery meat.
He dug in without hesitation, having not eaten much for lunch. Jamie remained silent and as un-social as one could be. Her fork punctured an apple slice and she let the juices swirl in with some straying cheese, morbidly disgusted but she seemed too bored to care.
