Transylvania Academy - IC

[Undesirable]

Monday October 31st, 2016. First day of term, Halloween.

Ali strolled onto the school grounds casually like there was nothing to worry about. Of course, there was. There was a lot to worry about. She was 16 years old, and for the first time ever, she was going to school. Now normally you wouldn't expect an robot to walk in to your typical boarding school, but this wasn't really a typical school, so I guess it was alright. Besides, Ali wasn't the only 'not normal' student around. At first sight, the school looked quite normal, the grounds were very neat (the job of the excellent groundskeeper, that no one ever seemed to have seen) and the buildings were in pristine condition. A passer by would have stereotyped the school into the 'rich kids' category, but that wasn't true at all.

As soon as the students arrived, the whole school grounds began to fill with many colors, sizes, and shapes. This time if a passer by walked passed they would probably die of fright. Funny thing that is, that's why most of the students had come here in the first place. They never seemed to fit into the normal world, and were constantly looking for a way to be accepted, and they were accepted here, so they stayed. Even though they were separated away from their families for approximately eight years, they didn't really mind. It wasn't like their families cared at all. To be quite honest, most of the children were orphans. They had been given away at birth simply because of the way they looked. Funny that. You'd think that judging a book by its cover would have become extinct by now.

Ali smiled rather shyly at a girl when she walked by her swiftly. She looked a lot younger than Ali herself, but she seemed to know the school twice as good. Ali had no idea at all where everything was. It was her first day, and they weren't even allowed to come before this day to check out the grounds. Pretty weird. She stopped by at a bench in the middle of the campus grounds and pulled out a small piece of paper from her bag.

The note said something like '01000111 01101111 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110010 01101111 01101111 01101101 00100000 00110010 00110100 00100000 01000011 00101100 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110011 01100011 01101000 01101111 01101111 01101100 00100000 01100111 01110010 01101111 01110101 01101110 01100100 01110011 00101100 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100001 01110100 00100000 01000101 01011000 01000001 01000011 01010100 01001100 01011001 00100000 01101110 01101001 01101110 01100101 00100000 01110100 01110111 01100101 01101110 01110100 01111001 00100000 01100101 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100 00101110 00001101 00001010'.

Ali smiled at the piece of paper and headed for the huge building. Room 24 C. Hmm, where was that? Ali stopped and asked a brunette girl, with a tail sticking out from a specially made hole in her jumper. The girl looked like she was ready to jump around and lick Ali's face out of happiness that someone was talking to her. Ali smiled at her sweetly, and followed the directions she gave her. The classroom she arrived at was quite small, but the huge wall long windows gave lots of light, and made the classroom seem slightly bigger. Ali yawned and realized she was the first one to arrive. How strange. She noticed that on the big green board at the front of the class a big 'B' was written. She shrugged not knowing what it meant and sat down at a desk right in the middle of the class. Right where everyone could see her when they walked in. She really wanted to make friends on her first day.

Tatsuya and Marié walked into the school grounds chatting away about a new manga that came out in Japan. Something called 'Blood and Fangs'. Typical. It was all that these two had in common. Anime and manga. They loved the fact that humans drew anime every day, but didn't quite understand why Tatsuya was shunned from the community for actually being anime. As they walked in Marié stopped.

- What if they all laugh at me because of they way I look? - She asked her brother, curiously.

- Marié, look, I've managed 4 years. Chicks dig the way I look, and you got the Tobashi gene in you, even if you are a bit different... They'll love you. Don't worry, there's bigger weirdo's than you around. - He answered playfully, punching his little sister on the shoulder lightly. He loved his sister. She was the only girl, correction - only person - he could talk to for longer than five minutes without beating the crap out of. At least she was remotely interesting.

Marié smiled, but deep inside she was still worried. She had gotten too used to people staring and pointing at her. It was almost uncomfortable when people weren't doing it. It all felt suspicious to her somehow.

- Where's 'Class A' ? - Marié asked.

- Oooh, Class A, how fancy sis'. I'm surprised I didn't get into D. The amount of fucks I give is so minimal, I don't even know why they keep me here... Anyway, Class A's on the left side of the ground floor. You'll see it when you walk in don't worry. I'm upstairs. I'm going now, people are probably starting to miss me. - He chuckled and walked away leaving his sister in the middle of the courtyard.

She decided that she could walk to the class on her own without being paranoid. As long as one of her arms didn't fall of or anything she would be fine. Hopefully.

Bambi walked floated into the empty classroom silently. How else could she? Ghost never made sounds like others did. It was simply their nature. She put her bag down at the desk and sighed. It was the first day, these were always hard. At least she was put in charge of the smartest class. Hopefully they would behave. She had enough of teaching Class C. Those kids were so hard to handle she felt like killing herself sometimes. She felt a massive relief when she was told she would tutor Class A. Smart kids were always the nice kids.

She grabbed the white chalk from her desk and scraped on 'Class A' onto the board. It felt good. Back in school. She was such a workaholic. Being slightly too over the top she did a small sketch of a flower garden, and other doodles around. She missed drawing and writing on these boards, the feeling of chalk scraping against the rough green material and the noise. Oh, the noise the chalk made! It felt so good.

Bambi sat down at the desk and turned on her laptop. She decided to play some music for the kids when they came in. After all she wanted to let them know she was a fun teacher!

- Ooh, 'The Screaming Banshee! My favorite. - She spoke turning on the music, a horrible piercing scream filling the classroom.

[Gisk]

Mark arrived at the school alone. His father had given him a ticket and some(actually a fairly substantial amount of) money, and neither of his parents could afford to leave the hospital to accompany him. He had stopped by his dorm to drop off his junk, and was looking at room after room to try to find the one he was supposed to be in.

"Well," he said to himself, standing outside of a door. "This is it... but do I really wanna go in?" he could hear a screaming voice from the other side of the door, and was a little less than eager to find out why someone was screaming. "Well, can't die twice!" he decided, and opened it. The scream, as it happened, was coming from a computer on the teacher's desk. This was only slightly less interesting than the fact that his teacher was see-through. "Uh... did I just enter the haunted classroom? And is that supposed to be music?" He was starting to hear the melodic pattern of it, through the sheer terror of the noise. It was weird, but he decided to give it a shot. He let out a matching scream which lowered in pitch and resolved into a single clear note, harmonizing with the screams coming from the teacher's computer. He ended the note as the screaming song faded out. "Sure wish I'd brought my guitar."

Room 24 C

As the students Filed into the room assigned as 'homeroom B', they'd find a lively Violen Melody playing, the source seemed to be coming from a small room connected to the class-room, maybe a bathroom or store-room? For a moment there was no other sound, until the door opened, from which Strode a tall slim Fox creature, Gray fur with stark blonde hair and golden eyes, Clad in something similar to a Scientist's coat. The Biggest detail about his appearance however, was that he appeared to have been splashed in blood from the chest down, yet he was holding an un-bloodied Ham-burger on which he was snacking, and behind him floated a Violin and it's bow, revealing the source of the melody, but not of the singing that soon came along with it.

He paused suddenly upon seeing a couple of Students present and gave a creepily wide toothy smile and a slight little bow before speaking, his voice carrying a delightfully Saccharin tone from it, along with something that may tinge the instincts of the more 'animal' among the group "Ahhh, hello my little charges, Sorry for the mess, I was just making lunch! It's a pleasure to meet you all, and for symplicity, You may call me Mr.Stein. His grin seemed to grow more frightening in nature as it shortened slightly before he continued "among many things that I am part of in this Academy, I also handle and assist with Medical issues, so, you will become my 'responsibility' should harm come to you during your stay here." While he spoke, the mild toned singing did not cease, implying he was not the source of it at least.

With that all said, he took his position behind the desk at the front of the room, reclining in a flexible office chair and digging into his Lunch-snack as he watched the continued flow of students file in, paying an unusual bit of attention to Ali, though otherwise he simply awaited the room to gain it's full stock of students before continuing. However, his ears twitched almost cutely when a piercing scream could be heard in the distance from another class-room elsewhere in the building, causing a playful grin to spread across his muzzle.

Mr. Park was a particularly busy man, patrolling the whole of the Academy grounds several times as the students milled about, almost ensuring that everyone will have at least once laid eyes on the tall man clothed in a detective style suit walking amongst them. Perhaps some would think he was a nosey human, of course anyone with a good nose knew otherwise, and anyone misbehaving on their first day learned very quickly that he was not to be trifled with. Otherwise however, he had little that he would need to do until classes started but to wander the halls and watch people, unless someone approached him suddenly.

Maikera's face was alight with curiosity as he walked among other students heading to the campus, a smile on his muzzle as so many new scents and strange creatures were discovered, though a number of creatures shied away from him due to his considerable height, he was too pleasantly excited to worry about scaring anyone. He very quickly followed the directions on the paper that led to 'Room 24 C', where he paused suddenly at catching a heavy scent of blood on the air, instinctually licking his lips before slipping through the door and looking about, finding a gorey scene of a man behind the desk, that he tried to ignore for the moment, and a very still looking girl in the middle of the student desks.

He never had trouble picking up sound at a distance, so he was fine with his favored habit of heading to the back of the room where he could be the most out of the way, Setting down a large sack next to the desk and Thudding into the seat himself before propping up his paws and leaning back in a fashion similar to the Instructor, minus the type of chair.

Christina's small frame was rushing down the hall hurriedly, her head down with her hair covering it. Her wings were plainly visible, she preferred it that way since it really was more comfortable for her. But she couldn't help but feel as if everyone was staring at them. But that, of course, was not the case. They were all minding their own business, it wasn't strange for someone to walk around with mutated traits here. Here, everyone was different. That comforted the teenager, to a certain extent. So she walked to her class, nibbling her lip softly as her light purple and teal dress wavered slightly in the wind, trying to ignore everyone else in the world.

Christina entered the Class room, room 24 C. Her crystal clear blue eyes scanned the room, before stopping on the teacher who seemed to covered in blood. "Holy crap!" She squealed, her wings spreading before she launched herself backwards in fear, an extreme hemophobic. She fell backwards and rubbed her head, her face lighting up a bright red. "Uh....U-Uh....S-S-Sorry but uh.....B-Blood and...I....You.....B-Blood.....and...." She stuttered, backing up a bit more.

[Valtyr]

A sweet humming melody chimed out from down the street as a little Neko girl skipped merrily towards her new school, overly joyed by the new experience the innocent little creature was about to jump into; having lived most of her life locked in a house this was quite exhilarating. The young girls senses were on fire with all the scents, sounds and visuals of the miraculous place behind the fence, if only she could find the entrance. She only wore a large sweater that went down to mid thigh - acting like a dress - with a thin catlike tail falling down and swaying from side to side gleefully; the sleeves having to be rolled up to her elbows or they would fall far past her hands from the extreme size difference. She also wore thigh high black stockings with simple grey flats that tapped on the concrete with each skip and hop. Her long messy raven black bouncing and dancing in the fresh breeze to cascade and frame her pretty face.

"FOUND IT!" She squealed in delight with her hands stretched out to the heavens in victory. Kitty than reached into the big sweater pocket at her tummy and withdrew a folded piece of paper. Unfolding it quickly it was a map of the school with a big red circle over her dorm building and her homeroom building with a few notary scribbles on the white parts to remind herself of important things. It took a bit to figure out which way to head and began to march towards the large building that housed Homeroom B. Looking up to the tall library building where a large clock told the time her eyes dilated in fright. She was going to be late if she didn't hurry! The little feline girl began to sprint across the courtyard, the area quite empty as most were already in class.

She dashed down the hall and up the stairs until she arrived at room 24 C. She took a deep breath to calm down after running before walked in, her eyes shot wide at the sight of the bloodied teacher came to view but the most terrifying thing was the fact it looks like some kind of dog type of creature. She hugged the wall and scurried along it until she felt she was at a safe distance from the dog-man. Looking at the small group of students already in attendance and their interestingly beautiful appearance. She gasped in wonderment as she went to the first pretty thing she saw, a girl with wings that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight from the window. "So prettyyy!" She sang out in amazement as she went behind the girl and delicately caressed her slender fingers through the soft feathers a few strokes. Than another distraction! A cat man like her, except all cat which was even more interesting. She squealed in delight as she hurried over to him and hopped on top of the desk and sat Indian style facing him. She leaned in close as she was getting a good look at him, her big emerald eyes staring unblinkingly at the catman as if observing him intently. "You're fuzzy." she stated plainly after several seconds of silence as if it were some conclusion she finally came to.

It was relatively silent on the courtyard when Falî Siagathar entered the school property. She looked around nervously, not because there were different creatures there, creatures that she had never seen before, but because she arrived unannounced to the school grounds. The reason for her nervous behavior was instead because she had fled to the school in hope to live there as a refugee. It was said that the school welcomed all, so she hoped that an official invite wasn't needed, even so, she kept her guard up at all times.

She silently stayed in the courtyard watching as the other students scattered, all of them heading off to an assigned classroom, and wondered whether she should follow them, or if she should try to find someone in charge of the complex. Thats when she spotted the detective like figure patrolling the grounds. At first she thought the man was a human and immediately her muscles stiffened, her feathers rising upwards as if she tried to puff up to put up a threat display but then she realized judging from its smell, that the figure in fact wasn't. Trying to calm herself down she refolded her wings behind her. She didn't quite trust the figure, nor did she trust herself to walk into a building filled with other types of monsters just yet.

So there she was, slightly scared, and hesitant, standing alone on unknown territory in the middle of the day. This wasn't a good situation for her, and she knew that she should either leave or talk to the grounds-keeper, and at this point leaving seemed to be the better option.

[Undesirable]

Marié wandered about in the courtyard for a while. She wasn't sure what time it was, but the grounds were slowly emptying and she sensed that she was going to be late. Walking the way her brother had, she noticed a girl with wings looking cautiously at a detective looking type. Marié wandered whether there was something going on, the guy did look rather suspicious. She crept over quietly, trying not to breathe too loudly.

She wandered whether the winged girl would mind Marié helping her. Part of her wanted to leave the girl in case she wouldn't like who Marié was, but part of her wanted to make new friends. She took the second option. Upon approaching the girl she noticed that her eyes were quite big, slightly like her own anime eyes. Except hers were yellow looking, and having the Tobashi gene in her, Marié's were green.

- Hey there, - She started slowly, lifting her bag up to her shoulder again, - You look lost, do you want me to help you? Do you know what class you are in? - She asked the girl curiously, trying to sound as polite as she could.

Tatsuya strolled down the marble hallway of the school building. He reached the class he was looking for. Class B. Another year in the same class, except some newbies and a new teacher. Great. He walked into the classroom and nearly fell over a cat girl jumping around like crazy. If he knew her longer than five seconds he would have punched the life out of her. She better not touch me... He thought walking further into the class. He had found a seat at the front near some plastic looking girl and sighed. another boring day in the life of Tatsuya. It was only fair if he started some mayhem or something.

He looked around the class to see what freaks had joined this year. The plastic girl, the hyper cat girl, the angel girl. Wait, she was pretty smoking. Next, the bloody teacher. Eh. Wait, what? A bloody teacher? He was pretty sure that was against the rules or something. Killing new students.. That was just messed up. HE decided not to say anything though and blankly stared out of the window at the pale blue sky outside.

Bambi was rather stunned when a boy walked into the class. It was still quite early, and he seemed to have been the only one to show up. What surprised Bambi the most was that the moment the boy walked in, and heard the music, he started screaming along to the sound. How odd. He actually liked it... She smiled to herself and if it wasn't inappropriate she actually would have jumped up and hugged the boy. But she didn't. She didn't want to lose her job because some new kid accused her of sexual harassment. Oh no.

- Hey there, - She spoke, her voice quite and echoing against the walls or the room, - I'm Bambi, nice to meet you. You are in my class right? - She asked pointing at the board.

- I'm surprised you liked the music, why don't you settle down, and we will wait for the remainder of people to join us. - She added on happily, wobbling about in her chair.

She played the track again, except a lot more quietly so that it wouldn't deafen the student. It would be most unfortunate if that happened. Who would be able to enjoy the music with her then?

[Shoryu]

Stein perked up suddenly, half way through biting his lunch when one of the girls who walked into the room suddenly spazzed out over his appearance, finishing his bite before offering a big toothy grin "Oh don't worry little girl, It's not 'your' blood is it?... Ahhh, but I suppose if one of my students is going to be unable to function because of it, best I clean up, phoo, too bad I'm not allowed to disrupt learning quality, heehee. oh but fear is soooo very tasty isn't it?" With that he pushed his chair back for a moment before very quickly whirling around, hard enough to create a small breeze, then stopped just as suddenly, revealing himself to be completely cleaned up. He didn't 'seem' to notice the entry of another feline creature who quite thoroughly avoided being anywhere near him, though the perpetual grin on his muzzle seemed to widen ever so slightly. It also brought him a little fresh pleasure to see the young man who entered the room do a bit of a double-take on seeing him.

After a moment he stood up from his chair, vanished the last of his little snack and spread his arms wide for the class before speaking in a very energetic and lively tone, at the same time as he leapt up to stand on the spinning chair which reacted in the expectable manner and began to rotate slowly. "Welcome little children, to Transylvania academy, It's nice to see some mingling taking place already, lets hope you all become good friends... afterall, It's good to have friends to 'watch your back'... Now we'll be waiting just a bit more incase anyone else chooses to join us in here, but I'd like to inform you all of a delightful little contest that I host, HUWHUP!!!, CRACK!, WHUD!!" In the midst of his little speech the chair jerked away because of a movement he made, and suddenly he was dumped off of it, proceeding to 'literally' Headdesk, and plop on the floor behind the desk twitching for a moment.

It may seem as though he had knocked himself out, being that he didn't move for a long moment, but just as suddenly he leapt back up to his feet, wheeled over the desk and sat on the corner with a now bloody smile, thank's to that little crack to his face there was a stream coming from his nose and a taste in his mouth. "Dear me, how clumsy, ANYWAY!!, I happen to be a teacher of several classes, such as biology, a couple of branches of science, psycology, that sort, as well as assisting in a number of others, cause I can. I host a little contest amongst the students that I teach. You must guess 'what' I am, species and all that, and if you guess correctly, you get a permanent grade boost. Now I shall certainly warn first, that appearances are not as they seem, many students 'first day guesses' have been way off base, heehee, observant students will be able to pick up on hints here and there as the year progresses. ALSO!, some other students may already know the answer, they won't tell you unless you ask them, however, asking them makes you ineligible for the reward, and I will KNOW if you're lying.... Now then, Does anyone have a question while we wait for the last of homeroom to convene?"

Mr.Park certainly picked up on the presence of 'one who wasn't invited', though it wasn't an entirely uncommon event, nor unwelcome it seemed, so he wasn't in a rush to go reporting it and stiring things up, however, it seemed that she and another student were close to being late as the bell rang.

'The figure' seemed to suddenly appear near the girls, a quiet gruff voice and a slightly ghostly chuckle interupting the pair. "Well hello there Stranger, seems you're an expected arrival. There's still room in the Willow Dorm I believe [where she's assigned on the front page anyway], Marie, perhaps you're new friend should tage along with you to home-room, wouldn't want to be 'too' late or anything. The lady is quite 'patient' I believe, but I'm not sure that ghosts like their lessons being interupted." While he shared his uninvited 'advice', one of his hands proceeded to grow some exceedingly over-sized claws, which poked into his jacket and retrieved a small Cigarette, which he lit up before turning to continue on his patrol of the grounds.

Of course, his sudden appearance and tone of voice may have worried the new arrival, but in his mind it was meant to help her, if she couldn't handle a little spoke, then she'd spend the whole time here twitching and afraid that the next creature she bumps into might be a danger... Maybe he'd apologize if she sticks around long enough to be seen again.


______________-

Maikera observed the goings on of the other students arriving with a fair bit of dis-interest, for a moment ceasing to pay attention while taking in the scents of the room, then just as suddenly as he'd stopped paying against a girl thing plopped on his desk and began staring at him as though he were on fire or something, very thoroughly causing his fur to stand on end and make him appear even fluffier. Suddenly an entirely natural habit clicked in his brain, and he proceeded to lick his lips, the problem however, was that the girl was in such proximity that he also inadvertantly ended up licking her face at the same time, though he realized too late what had happened and quickly pretend that it 'hadn't' happened "Bloody'ell, If ah was jumpy like a normal cat you might've been subject to some sort of instinctual retribution to surprising me like that... as it is, you're in luck, I'm not even drunk right now... Do you always stare down other felines like that?"

Of course he wasn't used to 'humans with kitty parts', it was new to him, the only immediate hint he'd taken notice of was the proximity of another feline scent different from his own, though he was 'most' shocked by the excessively friendly air around the girl, he was more used to people avoiding him.

[Silyan]

Christina remained where she was, as if frozen in time. Her eyes remained focused on this 'teacher'. He seemed......strange to say the least. Christina didn't like him one little bit; he scared her rather severely honestly. But then again, she was in a school for things that weren't 'normal'. With a tiny gulp of fear, she shook her head and stood up, dusting herself off. Christina rolled her shoulders, a small popping heard. Her wings stretched before coming back in, she was nervously nibbling on her lip. "I'm......I'm just gonna sit down now...." Her tiny voice squeaked as she passed by the cat girl who had touched her wings moments before, giving the girl a strange look for her over enthusiasm. She took a seat, and a deep breath to calm herself, before her eyes scanned the room again. "Wow.....This place really does have the works...." Christina muttered to herself, cocking her head to the side before looking back at the teacher and listening, but not bothering to utter another word.

[MetalTortoise]

Well, school. That was a new idea. School used to be something you paid for, had your kids learn very basic things and still grow up to chop wood or fix ships or some sort of heavy manual labor. Now it was all about making you the smartest, and most qualified person in the business of your chosen area. How this benefited a ghost? He had no clue, but he had been invited and was bored of ripping people of in card-games all day.If he could manage to not trip up and fall through a wall then maybe he would have described his choice of coming here as wanting to live a little but it was a tad too late for that. He had tried to steal from the wrong man and ended up loosing his life will he was very young. Well, whilst he was sixteen and at the time he was more or less halfway through his life. In the modern day he would have been considered young at death. The school was nice, large and built about seventy years after his death. He could easily tell the architecture apart and was amazed when others around him couldn't tell when certain buildings where built.

He arrived, having nothing of valuable on him aside his deck of cards, which he always kept handy in case he saw someone who could easily be ripped off and conned for easy money. Not that he needed the cash. Most of the time he ended up doing stupid things with the money if he got too much, like find a homeless person and burn the money in-front of him or purchase a motorbike only to destroy it by smashing it with heavy objects. He was an easily entertained soul. The school seemed to have an equal amount of slightly strange, not 100% sane people attending. While most looked normal he was sure that everyone had some sort of disorder that made them have a great thirst for blood or need to go hunting rabbits once a month or something equally as depressing. Aside from the one's that seemed to hide their 'issues', they also had people who where not afraid to show off their... 'talents'. Seeing someone with fur was a cool sight for Tyler, who hadn't mingled with his kind before. Anti-socialism in ghosts was a terrible shame, and made haunting places frightfully difficult. The backpack over his shoulder that contained his less then worthwhile possessions was unhooked from his back and he dug into it for a piece of paper containing a map, a timetable and a list of his classes. The rest of the documents contained things such as his dorm name and room but he wasn't too concerned with that right now. He just wanted to find his way to class. He did the best thing to do in an overly busy crowded area, put your head down and follow the map without looking out for other people. He managed to get walked through twice before he realized he would need a better plan of moving about then that....
