@AlicePleasanceLiddell@Leslie Hall Understanding Roses smile he nodded and started the long walk into Champions Road and finally the Arena grounds. Most peoples feet would be sore by now but being a powerful earth elemental the earth doesnt hurt him. The first thing the group would see is a giant Collesseum like building that almost seemed to flicker. "This Arena" the prof explained "can be changed to for many different tracks and exteriors for whatever is needed. Each one is stored in another pocket dimensional layer which is why you may see a slight distortion." He said marvelling at it. "This is a relatively new building constructed by the headmasters msgic as the old arena has become nothing more than ruins with its old preservation magic worn out."
He smiled at the group, the longer they were here the more their magic was starting to affect their Trace (an earth elemental equivalent of an aura.) It was good to see. Good for tjhe school. Good for the whole of magic even!

Theodore and Lucas

@Minimum | @AlicePleasanceLiddell


Ruby seemed to be very easy going and fun loving, which was quite refreshing compared to the serious, cynical tone of the man named Adam. His comments towards Theodore set a very intense atmosphere between him and the two brothers. Theodore didn't like to be talked down to, and Lucas didn't particularly like listening to someone insult his brother. The younger brother glared at Adam as he talked about his 'potential', his patience growing thin.
"Being bitter and unpleasant gives you the right to judge me and my brothers worth? Perhaps some self reflection is in order if you truly believe my brother to be the arrogant one here." Lucas brushed a stray strand of hair off of his face, removing his gaze from Adam. Theodore slung an arm around his brothers shoulder and began ruffling his hair with his spare hand.
"Nice! You tell him, bro!" Theodore had a stupid smile plastered across his face. Just seeing it made Lucas regret standing up for him. Yet he was surprised how well his older brother was taking the insult. Theodore saw the look of confusion on Lucas' face and tilted his head towards Adam as Ruby dragged him away.
"If I get all hot and bothered by what he says, then it'll just make him think that he's right about me. I ain't gonna give that bastard the satisfaction. Especially after you were so cool, standing up for me and all." Lucas was surprised at the level headed thinking of his brother. For him to think in such a way must be due to his distaste for their new companion.
"We should follow them." That was the last thing Lucas said on the matter, and the two quickly caught up to the professor.

Theodore and Lucas gaped at the large arena, listening intently to the professor's every word. They were like two kids in a candy shop. It was expected of Theodore to be ecstatic over the chance to have a couple sparring matches with some strong students, but the fact that Lucas was also teeming with excitement was surprising.
"Lucas, I want to take you on! Let's go!" Theodore readied himself to sprint towards the arena, but was stopped by his younger brother yanking the back of his collar.
"What my brother means to ask, Professor," Lucas shot a look at Theodore, as if to tell him to not be rude, "is when the arena is available for students to use? Can we only use it during certain lessons or is it open in our free time as well?" He put extra emphasis on the words 'free time', reminding Theodore that they were still on their tour.

~Adam and Ruby~


Ruby and Adam followed the professor. The place looked marvelous, it was indeed something you would look in awe. Ruby wasn't as fascinated as Adam was. He thought it was very interesting the fact that something as grand could take such shapes and qualities. He wondered whether a big battle would happen there someday. It seemed the appropriate place for something like that. He felt Ruby heavier as their arms were crossed. He turned his gaze upon her, to see her smiling at the way the two brothers acting, but also noticed that she was very tired of walking. He wanted to smoke as well, so he decided to ask. Ruby rose her eyebrow as she saw Adam freeing his arm of hers. He walked to the professor.
"I do find the Arena fascinating. It indeed is a grand place, and I appreciate your efforts on showing us around, but me and my friend are tired. Are there many more places we'll have to see?" He asked in a polite tone, trying not to cumber his reputation any more. It was his first day, after all.

@Leslie Hall@AlicePleasanceLiddell
"Well Theodore and Lucas" started the professor. "The main arena" he gestured to the building, "Is only used in official matches and specific classes but anywhere in the school you can spar but don't worry the magic surrounding this school makes sure no harm comes to anyone in these matches, official or unofficial. There are also the basketball and football courts that you can use in your free time."

He then turned to Ruby and Adam. "I agree it is a tiring tour and this is the last stop. I would like you all to see one last thing however." He said and walked a couple of steps to the side. If the students also take a few steps to the right they will see a massive forest with hilly areas a river going through the middle with a lake on one side and much more. There was even a desert! "This is the 'garden'" He explained. We use this for things like catch the flag and cross country riding. Students are allowed in but there is a danger. This is the place where the magical wards is the weakest and where some monsters manage to get through the borders, also no student is allowed beyond the electric fence encircling the outside unless you are in a lesson as our borders are cut off at that point and the monsters roam freely." He then turned around and walked down an alleyway that somehow hadn't been there before and walked through entering a massive square with small stalls and shops dotted around. "Welcome to the start of the Residential Zone" He said. "Market Square." He then gestured for them to follow him and he entered a cafe and sat down at a table. After they made their way in he said "Sit down somewhere and have a rest and something to eat, the foods good here" As he picked up a menu and ticked some boxes next to options. The menu then morphed into Chicken Casserole which he started to eat.

~Adam and Ruby~


Ruby and Adam followed the Professor to the right and saw the stunning landscape. Adam wasn't really a nature type. He let his eyes roam freely for a few seconds, just to observe the paths and everything, and then took a step back, getting a cigarette out of his pocket, waiting for the chance to light it.
Ruby on the other hand was nothing less than a nature lover. She grazed the view with her eyes, amazed by all that beauty. Of course the best place to be for her was a forest, and then a library. Now she had both. First stop, library. Next stop, forest. That was the plan.

After Professor Rockehorn lead them to the Market Square through a secret alley, they arrived to a nice cafe. That was what Adam wanted at that moment. He sat down next to the professor and lit the cigarette that was waiting for so long hanging from his bottom lip. He took a big sip and threw his head back, letting the smoke come out lazily after some seconds. Still with his eyes closed, he whispered something that sounded like "At last", but it wasn't clear. Ruby sat between Adam and the two empty chairs. Ruby took a menu herself and ticked the "Red Dragon Wine" box, and seconds after that with a small "Poof" and a bit of purple-blue smoke the menu vanished and in it's place there was now a glass of red wine with some small flames on top of it. Ruby really enjoyed that little show in front of her. She raised her glass and grinned lightly.
"Cheers!"

Theodore and Lucas


It was a slight disappointment to hear that they wouldn't be able to use the magnificent arena any time they wanted, but the brothers were pleased to find out that they could train practically anywhere on the school. The next area they the professor showed them turned out to be the perfect spot for them. The luscious garden sported many different environments, obviously magically created. Theodore in particular took a liking to the lake. It seemed like a good place to go for early morning swims. Lucas stared blankly as the professor told them that monsters sometimes find their way into the garden. He clenched his fists at his side.
"Good," He spoke through gritted teeth. "Let them come." Theodore stared somberly at his younger brother. His gaze was drawn to the large scar along the right side of the young man's face. It was a memento of their past, and a reminder to their mission. That was the reason why they were at this school; they wanted to slay monsters and avenge their family. Theodore gently nudged his brother in the arm with his fist, bringing him back from painful memories.
"Dude, don't kill the mood." Theodore grinned, and Lucas responded with a smile in return. The small group seemed to be moving on through a mysterious alleyway. The brothers were reluctant to follow at first, but with the professor there, they really didn't have much to worry about.

Walking through the alleyway, they were surprised to find the residential district. Theodore started to wonder how he'd remember how to get to all these places. Bustling market stalls lined the square, with students and others alike wandering about. The professor brought them to a cafe where he said they could order something to eat. It seemed their companions, who were tired from the long tour, were content with a glass of wine and a cigarette. Both of which sounded pretty good to Theodore. He shot a smile at Adam, leaning back in his chair.
"You got another one of those?" He could tell Adam didn't like him very much, but he wasn't the kind of person to hold grudges. Besides, Adam barely knew him. Lucas stared in disapproval at his brother. They weren't allowed to smoke back in the military academy. That never stopped a bunch of cadets, Theo included, from sneaking out from time to time for a drag. Meanwhile Lucas was putting in the orders for he and his brother.
"Hmm. Let's see." He pondered through the menu before settling on some coffee. "Long Black, no sugar for me, and uh-"
"Flat white with 5 sugars!" Theo announced, ticking the box for Lucas.
"That's too much sugar, Theo." Lucas scolded his brother once more.
"Better than that bitter, black stuff you like." Theodore retorted, sticking his tongue out at his brother. At their command, the two drinks appeared before them. Theo's came with a small pile of sugar cubes which he plopped into the drink one at a time.

Between sips of his coffee, Lucas tried to think of a conversation point. Ruby seemed nice, but he was reluctant to talk to her because of Adam. He didn't really think himself to type to be scared of someone like Adam. Perhaps it wasn't fear, but more so a lack of desire to associate with him any further. Obviously Theodore didn't have the same thought process, considering he was still begging Adam for a cigarette. Swallowing his nerves, Theodore took the first step and began to speak to Ruby and Adam.
"So, where are you both from? My brother and I came from a military academy that we've practically spent our whole lives at. We don't get to meet many interesting individuals."

~Adam and Ruby~


Adam turned his gaze upon Theodore, raising his left eyebrow. Without moving anything else but his hand he popped a cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to Theodore, nodding lightly, as if approving the gesture. He then leaned forward with his elbows on the table and his legs crossed and observed the people, the surroundings and the conversations happening.
Ruby smiled as she found funny the difference between the brothers' drinks. She looked over Lucas, for he seemed like trying to start a conversation, something that everyone needed.
"I grew up in a small town, I'd tell you the name but you probably have never heard of it." She said and smiled politely. She looked at Adam, but he didn't look like he would answer. "He's from London. I like London." She said and drank some wine.
Adam soon noticed Gary at the corner of the cafe.
"No wonder he is alone." he said in a cold voice.
Ruby got very annoyed by Adam's comment. "Such a mean thing to say, Adam." She soon scolded him. Adam moved his head in dissatisfaction and took another sip of his cigarette. Ruby stood up and looked around to find Gary. He was indeed sitting all alone at a corner, drinking some sort of drink. She walked there and waved her hand at him.
"Salute" She said and smiled. "We are all sitting over there, you can join us. It would be nice if we all got to know eachother a bit." She said while pointing her finger to the table where she was sitting a minute ago. She leaned closer to Gary, and smelled his drink. "..Whiskey?"
Adam was chilling out, while observing Ruby as she went to call Gary. He really disliked him. Then he saw Ruby leaning close to him, and this was one too strong trigger for his nerves. He stood up in a second, ready to start a fight in case that guy moved an inch closer to her. Adam could hear his own teeth grinding.

Gary smiled up at Rose and then looked over to Adam and smirked (he then started gettimg up from his chair getting closer and closer to Rose very slowly. At the last second he turned towards Adam and got out of his chair. Picking up his whiskey he walked over saying "id love to!" He then sat in the seat between Adam and Ruby sitting his drink quietly.

~Adam and Ruby~


Ruby was satisfied with Gary's approval to join them. Once she walked back to the table she saw Adam was just a moment before hitting something, ..or someone. She hurried to him and sat him down. She then leaned closer to his ear.
"Relax. I am a big girl." She whispered.
Adam was already lighting another cigarette, blowing out the smoke furiously. Ruby stroked his hair playfully, and Adam put his palm over her hand and tighened his fingers as he sighed, something like a tough stroke. Nothing bad though, it was an action of anxiety and care. Ruby flashed her gaze upon him as she didn't expect this kind of move. She smiled back at him, as if to calm him down, and let her fingers slip off his grasp, and proceeded to sit at the chair between Gary and one of the brothers. She was drinking slowly her wine, observing everyone.
Adam was trying to stay calm, just because Ruby wanted it. He would gladly break Gary's nose. He kept his eyes nailed on Gary and Theodore, watching their moves. Once in a while he would look at Lucas, but this one he liked more, he seemed more polite, more.. noble. He didn't stop smoking for a second, he kept lighting cigarettes before the previous ones were even finished.
"So..." Ruby said quietly, as her eyes bounched from one to another till they scanned the whole company. She was curious of what was going to be. This was surely not the utopic first day.

Theodore and Lucas


@Minimum | @AlicePleasanceLiddell


The pair of brothers curiously watched Ruby approach the obnoxious Gary. Lucas in particular was rather surprised at the girls compassion; even inviting him to come and sit with them. Theodore understood the gesture, finishing up the cigarette that Adam had given him. Nobody, even people like Gary, wanted to be alone. Sometimes it was hard for the pair to realise that, because they were never alone. They always had each other. Ruby brought Gary back to the group, and they all sat together in silence.

Ruby attempted to break the silence, but didn't seem to be able to come up with anything to say. Theodore cleared his throat, putting out the cigarette on his plate.
"So, Gary" He was trying to make small talk, "Where are you from? Lucas and I are from a military camp a few days away from here." Whilst Theodore tried to spark up a conversation with Gary, Lucas turned his attention back to Ruby and Adam.
"I'm a little curious as to what we'll learn here. Theodore and myself haven't found out what our magical specialty is yet."

~Adam and Ruby~


Adam glared at Lucas, not planning to reply. He instead lit up another cigarette. He didn't like the fact that Ruby was stuck starring at Theodore; in fact he didn't like it when she looked at any guy. He poked her lightly with his elbow, and she turned to him and Lucas, startled.
"Oh! Excuse moi. I wasn't paying attention." She drank the last drops of her wine. It tasted well. She stood up and wore her cape with the large hood. "You will excuse me now." Adam looked at her with curiosity. "Oh it wouldn't be a hide and seek If I told you!" She said playfully and have him a kiss on the forehead. "Be nice with everyone." She said to him in a more cold tone. She waved at everyone and left the building, heading to the library.
Adam sat back at the chair and looked around. "So. Not many girls around here. Too bad." He took another sip of his cigarette and blew out the smoke in circles.
Ruby arrived at the library, and she really liked the place. She quickly found the book she was reading before, and sat on a wooden bench in the library, as she kept reading the old book.

@Leslie Hall "I was born in London but my family moved to Athen's in Greece." said Gary sort of half ignoring him half listening.

When Ruby got up from the table an walked out of the room the professor finally looked up from his never ending Casserole. Deciding to wait until he was full to take the group to find her and then finish the tour completely he started chucking in more casserole into his mouth (will eat until everyone else is finished)

@AlicePleasanceLiddell The professor gulped down the last of his Casserole and walked over to the table. "Well then the tour is at an end. I shall now give you the keys to your dorms." he pulls out 5 keys, handing one to Adam, Theodore, Gary and Lucas he asked Adam "Could you please hand this to Ruby next time you see her please?" giving Adam the last key. "All you have to do is wish a path to be made to your dorm whilst holding you key. A path will reveal itself to you taking you to your dorm where the key shall open it. If however you or your family has bought a residential building then think of going there and when you get there give your identity hand over the key and they shall show you a house. Well then. Its been a pleasure meeting you all. I hope to see you all again soon. Goodbye" With that he walked out of the cafe and sunk into the floor reappearing in the School Of Rock. (lucas and theodore both go off to their dorms)

*Head Librarian Mathew*
Max Mathew watched the girl with an amused expression from the desk. She seemed very engrossed in the book. She'd have to watch out though he thought. In that book and Old Timer student had wrote a rather nasty hex about half way through it that would set your head on harmless fire until you sleep if you didn't cast the proper counter. He would have loved to help her but he had been silenced after a angry row with Thoth about how a group of books should be arranged.

A young man rests in his room, putting his walking-staff leaning on his beadpost as he listens to the sounds coming from the other rooms. He pulls off his black hat and places it on the other bedpost as he closes his eyes even though doing so is unnecessary. his mind lets him analyze the sounds and smells of his surroundings. They are much different than the sewers or the slums that he is used to. The things he feels are far different as well.
"Why am I here...? He asks himself. "What is my goal of being here...?"
As he meditates on those questions, he hears more whispers and he tries to bat away those who are making those voices. "Stop! Shut up! It's annoying!" He yells, starting to thrash, trying to make them stop.

@Zeeb Blade Max had finally walked into his Black room with the chandeliers flickering after spending the day with his friends from last term and with his Professor Learning how to make Death Cuffs. He was worn out and had just layed down in his bed for the night when suddenly a pounding started from next door along with someone shouting "Shut up!" groaning he got back out of bed clicked his fingers (which surrounded him in his shadow armour instead of putting on clothes) and stepped out of the room where he knocked on the next door rooms door.

~Adam and Ruby~


Ruby was nearing to the book's middle, when some yelling interrupted her. She raised an eyebrow in curiosity, and closed the book carefully, leaving it where she found it. She would continue reading some other time. She stood up, fixed her dress with her hands and wore her cape. Walking out of the library she noticed the head librarian.
"Au revoir Monsieur." She bowed and smiled lightly, and then left the library in a hurry. The shouts didn't seem good. Walking in a fast pace, she saw Adam approaching from a path at her left side. He was pacing fast as well, and so they just ended up walking together, pacing, almost running.
"The shouts?"
"Indeed."
"Your key. Room 202." Adam said and waved the key in front of her, still walking.
"O Merci. Hope it's nice." She said, taking the key and putting it in her cape's pocket.
"We'll find out soon." Adam said and placed his arm on her shoulder.
Soon they arrived at the dorms place. A man was standing out of a door, shouting at someone. Ruby raised her eyebrows and stood there, silent. Adam, of course, lit up a cigarette. The man inside the room sounded like he was somewhat troubled. Ruby walked at the door, next to the other man (Max).
"Salute. I am Ruby, Is everything alright in there?" She asked politely, trying to keep a warm tone. She flashed a suspicious look at the man next to her. "No need to shout like that. "
Adam found the scene rather amusing. He leaned against the wall and let a small laughter run out of his mouth along with some smoke rings.

Max turns to Ruby, his face naturally pale and shadows clinging to him. "I am sorry but this man in here could not seem to hear me. He's going to wreck his room and also keep me up. I do not know what to do. (the walls of the dorms have wards so he can't shadow travel in)

(The man shouts)

"Oh my..." he picks out a scrap piece of paper from a fold in his black armour and touched some kind of picture on in. I do hope this works... he thought. He then muttered under his breath death is silent and the picture flickered and seemed to fade a bit into the paper. Grinning that the spell had worked he stuffed the paper back in the fold. He then thought about not hearing the man in the room and all noises made by him were silenced. Nodding to the two people he then walked back into his room, took off his armour and laid down in bed... again.
