"Are we allowed to decorate our rooms, more than just the colors and crap? And Palantine, you got any Monster energy drinks? That stuff is the sh- err, I just mean that it's good stuff." Chastity decided to hold off on the cursing when around the teacher.

Palantine resisted the urge to raise an eyebrow at the student for requesting so vial a drink. "My lady I will have it stocked by tonight." He thought the student that graduated last year would be the last. She practically sniffed the repulsive drink and eventually Palantine requested to pass a limit for the amount of drinks she was allowed daily. He wondered if as punishment they would not allow her to drink the energy shot. "My lady if you wish your room to be altered for you, you may pass it through me" Last year a student bought multicoloured paint that the walls were allergic to, it took months for Palantine to get the smell of it out the dorm rooms and the entire building creaked and groaned for weeks.

Dante started to laugh as he leaned against the wall, he faintly remembered last year all he could remember was waking every morning to go for a run and a work out nothing mattered more too Dante then his physical condition well that an his cursed eye of course he just hated how it glowed when he activated it.

Ayaka thought she should bring this up with Palantine while he was here since he really should know. "I just got a new kitten so I'm sorry if my room becomes a little messy" she said to him. She knows toys get left places with Rikami a lot and since now that she has a kitten there will be cat toys in the mix of dog toys.

"Lady Ayaka, how good to see you again! That will be no problem, we can have another box arranged for your new pet's toys. However do dogs and cats get along? I was never aware of their alliance?" Palantine was fond of the girl, the servants were not though, they'd spend hours weekly getting rid of fur. He would have to wear armour at the uproar he'll get when he tells them about the new feline addition.

Madison smiled and opened her laptop. The words "Hello, Madison. Would you like to fill out your new student sheet?" appeared. She did so, then opened the file with a list of various pets. Cats were right out, far too cliché. She clicked on the link for Miniature Earth Dragon. "Even-tempered, easy to take care of, needs a large tank with room to dig." Maddie knew exactly which pet she was taking.

James said a quick prayer for him and then moved on. Finally behind some cover, were the guys he was looking for, a huge bald behemoth of a man stood up and gave James a giant hug, and said. "White Mage, you glorious bastard, I was sure we were done for sure." James was getting crushed, but he managed to get out and smiling he started to say. "Not on my wa- LOOK OUT!" A grenade had been thrown about five meters in front of them, White Mage, with all his might pushed Cue Ball back behind cover. Right after he did, the grenade exploded, he was thrown back onto the ground. Everything was blurry and his ears were ringing, he could feel immense pain in his right shoulder, he looked over to see it was only a shoulder, his arm was gone. James ripped off a piece of his clothing, wrapped it around the wound and tied it awkwardly using his left hand and teeth. Cue Ball had looked at him with concern and then went after the men who threw the grenade. James looked at the ground in front of him, surprised to see an unscathed painting in the wreckage.Blood loss, must be hallucinating, he thought. Still, he felt the urge to pull it closer with his remaining hand, but when he touched it, he felt himself being dragged into the painting and then he felt the sensation of falling. Finally he hit extremely soft ground, and knowledge just suddenly rushed him. He felt like he had spent years studying magic and yet he learned it all in a few moments. After a second he reacted quickly to this discovery and thought, Let's see if this knowledge is good for anything. James put his hand on his shoulder and he caused the wound to close up, leaving a stump, a process that would normally take a great deal longer. He stood up and with the healing he started to feel much better, suddenly the thought of knowing magic hit him. This was incredible, he wondered just what he could do with it. He grabbed his gun and transmuted it into a metal arm, and then attached it to his amputated shoulder. He was able to make it so he could control the metal arm with his thoughts, he could still only do basic things with it right now, like move it up and down, and wiggle fingers. But he knew that with time he would be able to make it do much more. What is this amazing place, he wondered.

Palantine excused himself after receiving all the requests for refreshments, if students needed him they only need request for him and the walls would pass on the message. He was suprised to see a man, covered in blood, marvelling at his metal arm in the hallway, "Excuse me sir, are you a new student?"

James looked at the peculiar man who had just come from the castle that was there. "I know I look young, but do I really look like a student to you?" James laughed good-naturedly and smiled at the man before continuing. "No, I am James Pelash, MOS 68 Whiskey 5V, a combat medic for the marines, or I was. I'm assuming this isn't a military organisation. But are you in charge here?" He concentrated for a second on using magic to change his uniform into his civvies. He now looked in much better shape, but still had his bulky Marine Corps MOLLE pack on.

Chastity made a mental note to talk to Palastine later, she needed to get a few things cleared up. But for now she was looking at the pets, and almost instantly she knew she was getting a dragon, and naming him Lucifer, or Azrael, or if it's a girl then Lilith or Yuki-Onna.

Roisin looked at her cell phone and texted back *That is a good name, Ayaka. Do you think that Chasity is a bit unsure of herself? She seems a bit too defiant to me.*

~Actually, Palantine, I have made some adjustments to the Castle Inner Workings. And there will be a specific limit to all high caffeine drinks. High caffeine is not good for the heart. I have better drinks in process for those who wish to have an energy drink. I will inform you of the new changes in the Castle Inner Workings.Also, we shall have our normal pizza party with normal soda.~ Lady Violetta mind spoke to him.
"We shall have our normal pizza party with normal soda. Now I shall take more questions before lunch. I am sure that you will have more. But let me introduce the last years class. Dante, Ayaka and Noirin. If you have any questions, you may ask them as well." Lady Violetta spoke as she looked about the room.

((Double Text))

Ayaka would've told Palantine that its quite possible for a dog and a cat to get along but he had to leave before she got the chance to. Oh well. It isn't like I won't get another chance to talk to him she thought as her phone went off signaling she had a text. After reading Roisin's text she sent back *I just kind of think Chastity is a little unpredictable and perhaps overwhelmed.*

Lady Violetta started speaking again after she sent the text. Ayaka, honestly couldn't wait to get pizza and soda. Rikami got excited too since he's been on his leash for most the day so far and wanted to run around and play. "Hyper butt...." she said about the frost wolf. "Maybe you can entertain your new friend?" Ayaka put Kasako down in front of Rikami as she said this. All he did was look at her until the kitten pounced on one of his paws which caused him to lift it up in surprise almost making Ayaka laugh. He has no idea what to do.

(accidentally double posted it lol)

A pizza party? Now this was right up Madison's alley! It was nice to have something a little reminiscent of home after this crazy day. She decided to start socializing, going up to Ayaka and introducing herself. "Hi. I'm Maddie Williams. Mind if I ask you a few questions?"
"

Ayaka was watching Kasako attack Rikami's paws and Rikami just letting her when Maddie approached her. "Hi Maddie. Sure, what questions do you have?"

"One moment please" Palantine hurried back inside, confused "Excuse Miss Violetta, small bit of a problem, may I speak to you for a moment?!" Palantine whispered to her, panicked.

This was not something Jack liked to do really. Except he had no idea what he is doing. So he walked up to the people. "Uhh. I'm Jack. Sort of confused here." He said looking at them both with and unsure smile.

Zack caught on quickly and immediately followed Lady Violet's directions as she said them. New toys to play with, huh? Not even an hour in and they're throwing top notch stuff his way. A set of clothes that didn't get dirty, a new cell phone, and a personalized, sentient laptop that was attuned to his very life force? It sounded like he had landed in some kind of sci-fi/fantasy movie. In a way, he guessed that was pretty damn close to what this was.

Right. Back to the directions. Pressing his hands to the two platforms on his new PLT, It imprinted his aura in moments, bringing him to the form they were supposed to fill out.

Desired Name: Zack Cypher

Student / Citizen Rank: /\/003

Age:16

Gender: Male

Talents: I actually have no idea... Maybe air? I'm good at breathing. Does that count?

Skills you have acquired: Being... a person...?

Certificates you have acquired: Uh.... middle school diploma?

Interested Career: An explorer... probably a scout of some type. I love to run.

Finishing the short questionnaire, he looked it over. Satisfied with what he had filled in, he lowered the lid of the PLT. As he did so, Violet finished her lecture and asked if there were any questions. Since none were forthcoming, everyone just began to mill around and introduce themselves. Various conversations overlapped each other and he looked around the room, getting a sense of how many people had come together in this strange place.
From what he could tell, There were three students who had been here for some time already, and four who had just recently been transported to this strange distant planet. Other than that, he saw only the butler and Lady Violet as people who worked here…
As he sat and thought about who to talk to first, his thoughts turned to Chastity, the only person he even vaguely knew from his old life, and why he had never introduced himself. Sure he only saw her in the hallways and said “hi” every so often, but he felt he owed her at least that much. Maybe it would help a little to see a familiar face… Plus It seemed like she needed a friend. Getting up from his seat, he walked over towards her and opened his mouth to say hello.
Crap.
Now he remembered why he’d never introduced himself.
Feeling his face heat as he stood there, he finally managed to thrust out a stiff arm for a handshake and blurt out his name. “Hi… uh… Zack. Do you… recognize me?”

"Yes. This place is the Academy of Magical Talents and Draconic Arts, correct? So, what exactly is the difference between the two?"

Do you… recognize me?”

The kid who she had seen fall into the painting had walked up to Chastity, and was nervously introducing himself. She turned in her seat and smiled confidently, and said to him. "Yeah, I saw you go into the painting in that tunnel, but I know you didn't see me. Though I can deduce that we probably lived somewhere near each other. So, did you see me around Public School 7331 on Central Avenue? I lived near there and that's where I had gone to school, when I wasn't skipping it to hang with my 'friends'. It seems odd don't you think? That the both of us would have magical cores, just happen to live so close to each other and yet never meet. Anyway, so you're Zack, huh? I'm Chastity, if you didn't catch it." She didn't bother with the handshake, that seemed kind of, well dorky, she didn't understand why he was so nervous.

Chastity didn't even recognize him from the school, she hadn't really paid attention to anyone outside of her little gang. But she figured she couldn't just ignore people here like she did there. Even though she was probably on the wrong foot with every student in here right now, she didn't want to be alone while she was at this academy. Chastity had become friends with her old group because she hadn't wanted to be alone back then either. And, now needing new friends, she was again willing to do whatever it took to get friends to hang out with, people for her to care for and for them to reciprocate. She had only started out so poorly because she was still attempting to befriend people like her old friends, but none of the students seemed to be like anyone she used to hang out with. The people here just weren't as cruel, and Zack at least seemed to be willing to actually get to know her before passing judgement.

James saw the strange man hurry away, he seemed nervous about something. He wasn't quite sure what to do, so he just shrugged and took his time in following the little man. Once reaching the door he could see several teenagers sitting at desks, some up and talking to each other. The odd man was talking to a woman at the front of the room. James smiled and waved at them with his robotic arm. He was just being friendly, being out of a war zone kind of lifted his spirits. Seeing the next generation at school helped him feel like all he had been through was worth it, because it was people like them he had fought so hard to protect.

((I'm just going to assume that Jack approached Ayaka and Maddie then?))

Ayaka smiled at Jack as Madison asked her question. "I would say the biggest difference is that with Draconic Arts you will be raising a dragon where as studying at the traditional academy you'll raise other pets. Of course, its possible to study both draconic magic and traditional magic. But that's pretty much all I know on that." She looked over at Roisin who she knew has a dragon. "Roisin, what would you say the difference between traditional and draconic magic is?" she asked her figuring she would be able to better answer the question.

Since Jack only said he was confused and nothing else, Ayaka really had no idea how to help him. "What are you confused about?" she asked him.

"Well, I don't want to sound weird... but I did try to introduce myself back then... You and your friends kinda glared at me though so I backed out before getting anywhere near you. This whole situation... well it's kind of nerve wracking and I just wanted to say if you ever did want to talk about anything you could ask me... back there you seemed to need it..."

At that moment, the cyborg walked in the door. It looked as though his entire arm had been shaped out of metal, possibly a gun before the reshaping. His jaw dropped a bit as he stared openly at the man with the metallic arm.
