Dante found a shady tree and layed down he quickly fell asleep he would just there and take a quick nap before going to the cafe.

"Madison Williams. Now, what exactly do I need to get in order to start?"

"Phew... last mile."
Drawing his forearm across his forehead, Zack tried to clear the sweat out of his eyes. He had to invest in a headband one of these days.
This was his favorite part of the day. Wandering. Every day he took a new route through town or the nearby forest, taking in new sights and trying to find more interesting things in old ones. This time, he walked through an old tunnel, one he often stopped in for a while to look at the different graffiti art placed here and there. It was always changing, with a new addition every day or some older one painted over. This time there was what seemed to be an extremely meticulous piece of what seemed to be an academy. It was the most detailed he had ever seen.
Feeling drawn to the piece, he began to look for a name, or a signature hidden in some corner. When he put a hand up to it to lean over and look for a name, he was startled when it met no resistance, and simply kept going. He lost his balance and fell through... though he could have sworn he was sucked in. Then he was falling. He frantically tried to right himself and land on his feet, and he nearly succeeded, breaking the fall with his heels, bouncing off them, and landing solidly on his behind.
A bit dazed, he tried to take note of his surroundings and came to a strange conclusion. He somehow was in the picture. The only difference was that there were others here, too. Getting to his feet, he put on a weak smile and waved.
"So... hope you guys didn't mind me dropping in..."

Dante decided to wake up and take a stroll around the acadamy he went to see if there was anymore new students and to his surprise there were, Dante stood at the top of the stairs. "Hey everyone, how are you all doing?"

"I hope other students will show up." Ayaka said to Roisin really wanting to meet new people. "You're eager about it too? I thought it sounded fun." The whole camping trip thing got her excited for the next break and classes haven't even started yet. "KInd of wish Lady Violetta would've waited a bit to tell us so I wouldn't be so excited for it right now. Though I guess she had to since I'm sure something like that takes a lot of planning." She put a hand on her kittens head thinking she still hadn't named it yet.

"Uhm... Isn't that a kind of strange thing to ask someone who just fell from the sky?" He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable whiplash he got from the jarring landing. "What is this place... And how did touching a freaking painting TELEPORT me? Was it like a portal? Is this like some kind of crazy secret lab that experiments on the fabric of space time?" He rattled off questions as they popped into his head, abruptly stopping when he realized his tongue and mind had run away with him again. He snapped his mouth shut and took a breath before saying "sorry... I do that when I get excited..."

"Apparently, we've ended up at a magical academy. Y'know, kind of like Hogwarts." Madison blushed. "Oh, sorry. I should have introduced myself. I'm Madison Williams. I'm new here myself, so at least I have someone here who understands my utter confusion."

"It's no problem my friend but know you've come here by choice and because you have good potential all I you here do you all have a magical core, this academy will teach you to home that magical core in what every magic comes to you easiest, want a example?" Dante asked making two fire balls in his hands and shooting them into the sky making them explode like fireworks. "Now if you will all come with me I'll take you to the head mistress." Dante said snapping his fingers making a small storm cloud water a few of the trees to make sure the fire didn't ignite anything.

"SH**!" Chastity was going as fast as she could while half-dragging, half-carrying her luggage behind her. Out of frustration she continued to yell at nothing in particular. "Sh**, Sh** SH**!!! I'm going to miss the bus! Why did Abigail have to apologize today? Of all the days, it had to be this one!" Chastity was on the way to the airport, so that she could forever put this place behind her. She had left a note on her bed basically saying 'F*** all of you.' But after the talk they had she made a new one excluding Abigail from it. Chastity hadn't forgiven Abigail but at least she put in an effort, while everyone else seemed to stop caring or never did.

If she was going to make it she would have to take a short cut, so she went down a tunnel in the hopes of being able to catch her bus. She was thinking she might actually get there in time, when she saw a boy stumble and fall through a painting that was on a solid concrete wall. "The h*** just happened?" Chastity ran over to the painting to investigate, it was unlike all the Graffiti beside it, it was very detailed almost as if she were looking through a window, rather than looking at a painting. She was able to see some faded writing on it, getting close she could make out 'Welcome to The Painting of Caldwell’s Academy of Magical Talents and Draconic Arts Academy . Please touch The Painting to enter.' She stood up, confused, she was wondering if that is where the boy had gone. Before deciding what to do next, she felt a tug on her bag, her reflexes were good and she held onto it with an iron grip.

She whirled around to see a lanky pale man with alcohol on his breath, and she thought he might be on heroin. Chastity tugged on the bag pulling him closer, then punched him in the nose and kneed him hard in the left kidney. He let go of the bag and staggered backwards, Chastity smiled and said "Want some more, f***er?" Her smiled faded as he pulled out a gun, then he spat fiercely at her. "You'll pay for that, you little b**ch." Chastity's mind raced, she then backed up and stretched her hand back, thinking, Am I insane to hope that this will work? Her hand brushed the painting, she could feel herself being sucked in. She smiled again, and flipped the man off, while disappearing into the painting, and saying. "Follow me if you dare, Mother F***er." She could no longer see him, and then felt herself falling, Chastity worked to turn herself in the air as you do when sky diving. Eventually she fell onto some very soft grass, but she used the momentum to continue rolling, stood up and turned back to where she had come from, fists raised, waiting to see if the man would follow her. She saw the people around her out of the corner of her eye, but didn't take notice of them yet, just in case she needed to knock the gun from the man's hand as he fell.

Mr Palantine sat in a corner on a blue fluffy cushion reading a book about a werewolf that tormented a town, it was utterly boring and he pushed his glasses back up his nose. The students falling out the painting were making an awful racket and he stood up, snapping the book closed. He stalked off to see which students had brought luggage and haul it up the stairs to their bedrooms. Dinner would also be requested soon and the start of term usually meant starting with a bang.

"Wow there's more of you then I thought." Dante said to himself looking at all the students.

Lady Violetta smiled at Dante.

"I am coming back, Dante. I am just checking the skies for more students. It is still very wide open.... Watch out!" She spoke as another student landed not too far away from her.
"Goodness child, you fell very fast! You were not there just 3 seconds ago. Let me see here...... You are Zack, Madison, and let me think...... Chastity is the last one. Welcome to Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents and Draconic Arts. Let us go inside and Dante, could you go get Ayaka and Roisin for me, please?" Lady Violetta spoke as she entered the Castle.

"During your stay here you will learn all about your magical core and how to use magic. You will have your own rooms, new clothes, new equipment, mythical pets and so much more!"

"Well, I guess I need to pick up said equipment. First, though, I might as well see if there's any rooms available. It seems that I'm going to be stuck here for quite a while." Maddie headed off to the dorms. Noticing that number 3 didn't seem to be claimed yet, she grabbed a piece of paper, scribbled her name on it, and taped it to the door. Not exactly professional-looking, but it would serve for the time being. Cleaning a spot of dust off her glasses, she headed back to the main entrance. There would have to be a welcoming event, wouldn't there?

Jack looked over at the painting on the wall. It clearly did not seem to real or it should not be here for some reason. He did not think it should be there yet it was.For some reason he decided to touch the painting and felt himself getting pulled through to somewhere.

He fell to the ground in a heap and looked up at the area he was in. "How the hell did I get here... Where better question am I?" He asked clearly distracted from the whole being pulled through a painting. He looked around trying to figure out how to get out of here. Where ever this was.

Dante turned around and whistled at the newest student, "Hey come this way." He yelled joining the Others and the head mistress.

Jack looked at the guy who had whistled at him. "Again. Where? What? How?" He asked trying to deal with this the best way he could. With attitude. He ran up to follow the group still not having his answers.

"Well Roisin, I"m going to see if any new students arrived." Ayaka said standing up holding the firecat after eating her cheeseburger. She grabbed Rikami's leash ready to go upstairs. "Want to come with me?" she asked her friend not wanting to just leave her there by herself.

"I think that would be an excellent idea.Lady Violetta is rarely late and when she is it is for a specific reason. Let's go." Roisin agreed.

Lady turned around in surprise.
"Welcome to Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents and Draconic Arts......Chastity. Jack, once all of us are in the Lecture Room, I will begin the Orientation Lecture."

Lady Violetta glanced upwards then hurried inside to start her Lecture. She hurried through the Main Entrance, Common Area and into the Education Area. She opened the door to Lecture Hall and went up to her desk.

"Everyone please have a seat somewhere so that we can begin."

Chastity spun around to Lady Violetta, when she had said her name. There were two voices in her head, one said that magical academy was exactly what she wanted, a new start secluded and far away from her past. The other voice screamed this is a trap, she said Chastity, what is safe if I can't even choose minor things, like when they will know my name? She stood her ground and didn't follow when Lady Violetta beckoned them. "Hold on one Fu-" She had a lot of bad habits when speaking to authority figures, but she did want to be here, if she could regain a level of control. However it wouldn't do to be kicked out of school on day one.

She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, saying. "What I mean to say is, this is all very sudden. You say there is magic? All right fine, the universe can add some crazy stuff if it wants. And you want to teach this magic to us? Why, whats the end goal here? And what's the expectation, what is it that I will have to do here?" She also knew there would be rules and/or laws she would be expected to follow, whether or not she would, was still to be seen. She continued, "And what are the limits of what I can do? It seems like you plan on having us here a while, how long? Will there be contact with the outside world, and that's another question, where are we? Is this a different plane, planet, alternate dimension, what? And finally, I may do everything I can not to be a mindless sheep, but I have no illusion that there aren't 7.24 billion other people in the world, why me, why any of us?" Chastity spoke with a stubbornness, as she gestured to the kids around her. Chastity had a very rational mind and liked the things around her to make a degree of sense. She knew she was asking a lot of questions but she didn't want to be surprised by something later.

"Chasity, please just have a seat in a chair in the lecture room. I will explain everything to everyone at one time. " Lady Violetta spoke sternly to her.

((I am now assuming that everyone is in the room))

“Again, welcome to Caldwell’s Academy of Magical Talent. Everyone find a desk to sit at near the front, please. You are few students who are strong enough to make it through the Picture. You have a magic core that can make you great Wizards and even Mages in the future. Your Magic Core will be your main tool in this Academy. There are other tools that you will learn to use as well.
You will become interesting people who will travel this new world and explore the other land masses. A few will stay home and be part of The Academy Island. I will need a Governor and an Archives Specialist to help me with my job. There will be more jobs as more students show up.
Any questions so far?” Lady Violetta asked.
