[IC] Myth Academy (PG-13)

[Vocalia]

Ajala, Anais, Arcana, Nathalia, Shippo

Nodding quietly, Ajala let Shippo inspect the plant at his own pace while she collected the filled sign-up sheets. It wasn't until the announcement was broadcasted that she stopped to listen. Hearing what Natalia had to say, she nodded and tidied up the table for a bit after collecting the pot of sentient plant from Shippo and putting it away safely. "Welcome to the club. I hope to see you all around," she said to the two new members and slithered away to the stadium where the opening ceremony would be conducted. As she slithered to the entrance, she saw a familiar face: her mumbling vampiric roommate with a burnt skin. The nagini cautiously approached the vampire and gently said while making sure that the thrall of incoming students didn't push her around with her comparably grounded stature, "We should move soon."

[Completlie]

Lilith, Fiona (cameo), Andrej, Kuro

"Well, I best be going then, checkin' around the school, so, see you around!" Lilith said to Fiona who only gave her an awkward looking wave. Lilith flew around, looking for things to do.

"HELLOOOO FELLOW CLASS MATES! Welcome back to another wonderful year at Ouroboros Academy! I hope you all had a great vacation! At this time, we will ask that all students please begin moving to the Stadium, where we will commence the Opening Ceremony! For you newcomers who have NO IDEA where that is, FOLLOW THE GARGOYLES!" A happy female voice spoke from a loudspeaker.

"Well, that was convenient." Lilith said to herself. Gargoyles? What do they mean by- Oh. My. Fish. Gargoyles flew down from the rooftops...with bright ribbons...

"What is this thing?!" Lilith exclaimed confoundedly to nobody in particular. The gargoyles point out the direction of the stadium, which is a white, gargantuan building that no possible being that can see can miss. She starts to fly in the direction of the Stadium when she noticed a humanoid figure with blue scales and horns which are currently stuck to a tree's branches. Lilith approached his direction when she noticed another being, one that looked like a man ("What's so special about him that he could be qualified for this place?") on a tree branch probably trying to free said branches. She stopped to think whether or not she should help them out before going to the Stadium. "I guess I should help them out, some acquaintances would be nice." She flew to them and asked, "You guys need some help or something?"

[Major Ursa]

Miri (Featuring Gabriel and Gwendy)

Hearing this guy’s offer, and…ESPECIALLY feeling his body pressed to hers (in a hug)…she was getting all hot and bothered, but she knew that whatever she wanted from him, he wasn’t going to be able to provide. Still, she was stuck at the moment, pressing her chest to his as tightly as she could. It felt good, but was torturous not to push it further.

At that moment, her friend hopped over the stall and separated the two, giving Miri a rather angry look for not doing anything…before letting out a sigh, and giving the angel boy a stern look, “Look, buddy, don’t go offering smoke to a person who needs air to breathe. Miri doesn’t need a tease like you!” Saying this, she pulled the dazed succubus to her feet. At that moment, the speaker was heard by all…Gwendy didn’t give the angel boy another glance before dragging Miri away; the succubus did look back briefly.

Andrej (Featuring Kuro and Lilith)

Though he didn’t visibly express it, the dragon was very relieved to have someone help him out with his predicament, “I…thank you. Honestly, I think I may have tangled the branches further around my horns…and…I can’t predict the weather, my magic is, ah, ‘lacking’.” Pausing for a moment, he didn’t really like admitting his faults, but this fellow youth felt like he was trustworthy enough. Trying to face upward, he realised he really couldn’t, with how tangled his horns were. “Oh, by the way, I don’t believe I caught your name…? My name i-”

At that moment, he heard a small voice from nearby. Of course, he couldn’t exactly turn too well, but it was only right to answer its question, “Oh, well, I’m sure my friend here would probably be happy to have some assistance!”

[Card Captor]

Gabriel, Miri, Gwendy

The other girl's harsh words coupled with the Succubus' silence badly hurt Gabriel inside "but......I was only trying to help" he whispered. Sighing, he got back up to his feet. Looking over at the small pile of club flyer that he had accumulated before they were knocked out of his hands by the Succubus. Sighing again, he walked off without them, he didn't need them anymore. The fact that he didn't even know her name only made things worse. 'She probably hates me by now' he thought to himself as he walked towards the Stadium 'my first day of school, and I already screw up big time. I couldn't even make friends with someone who shared my energy and zest for life. Master Vulcanus was right...I am a failure. No wonder I was abandoned as a baby'

[Spawnling]

Dantus, Andrej, Lilith, Kuro

"You four, stop mucking about already!"
The large skeletal hand of Dantus closed around the tree branches, while the other grasped Andrej's horns carefully. With a single yank, the branches tore apart easily, removed from Andrej's horns. The water dragon barely even felt a tug as the lich tossed the wrecked branches aside, glowering at the four.
"The Opening Ceremony is beginning, move along now! The last thing you need is to be late to the Headmistress' speech!"
The lich floated off, muttering about silly students and trees.

---

Grey, Gideon, Lailah, Gabriel

Grey gave the naiad a smile.
"Well my boy, I would be the wrong person to ask, for while I know many things about the workings of this school, the specific placements of each student is a mystery to me. You'll want to talk to the front office after the Opening Ceremony. In step with me, you can't get in trouble for being late if you arrive with me."
With a grin at Gideon, The Head began walking to the stadium before noticing a particularly headless girl off to one side.
"Miss Lailah! Welcome back dear. Would you like to accompany me and young Gideon to the stadium? I've always wanted to arrive to an event with an entourage!"
With a chuckle and no indication as to how it knew Gideon's name, Grey waved for Lailah to follow, still moving to the Stadium. It then waved another hand at what appeared to be an incredibly depressed angel.
"Mister Gabriel! Chin up boy, you have an entire year ahead of you, let's not start the first day down in the dumps, no one got anywhere without a positive outlook. Walk with me, come come, same destination all of us, may as well arrive together!"
Again, Grey made no indication that it would reveal how it knew Gabriel's name. The Head continued it's march.

[Iluvatar]

Gideon, Grey, Grey's Entourage

Gideon, startled by the Head's knowledge, was struck dumb. As in literally, he couldn't speak. The fountain (oh, ha ha) of questions that rose in his mind; how did it know his name, how did it know he was a naiad, etcetera, were suppressed and melted back into him within seconds. He slowly fell into step behind Grey, his mind wandering - but part of it rested on the Head. Who was it? What was it? Was it a he or a she, or neither?

Off to his right, some distant part of his consciousness noted the angel he had seen earlier approaching at the bidding of the Head, and a little later, a headless girl. 'Gabriel' and 'Lailah', they seemed to be, or so Grey had said. They seemed to be captivated similarly to himself. The Head had a strangely authoritative aura (as in, its general personality, not a purple shimmering mist), but yet appeared kind and genuinely compassionate to its students.

His contemplations broke when they arrived at the opening ceremony. A large, boisterous crown of various mythological creatures sat (or hovered, or floated) in a roughly semicircular hall. A few members of staff were present, but seemed to be trying to ignore the noise. What kind of school was this?

OOC: Sorry about my continued n00by confusion over water bottle phasing, life happened (ie: homework and friends round) so I didn't get time to read everything in the last 2 days D: . Anyway, I removed all that OP stuff now now :D

[FoxFireOfDawn]

Dantus (cameo), Andrej, Lilith, Kuro

Kuro scowled at Dantus as he ripped the tree branches off from around Adrej's horns and the tree. He growled as the lich floated off. He was almost tempted to shift into his wolf form and bark at him for ripping out the tree branches. Kuro jumped down from the tree with a soft thud and then brushed himself off. "Well, the prick that just floated off got rid of the branches, so I don't need help anymore....And the name's Kuro....Kuro Vargot..." He replied, scratching his head. Gosh, was today going to be a pain. "Anyway, we should get going to the stadium....Don't want to be late now, do we?" He cheerfully said. He shifted into his wolf form (which stood at about 4 feet from the shoulder) and padded ahead, looking back and moving his head to signal them to come with him. He soon walked at a slow pace, heading towards the stadium.

[Completlie]

Lilith, Andrej, Kuro, Dantus (cameo)

"Well, damn, something good could've came out of that, but noooooooo."

Lilith sighed. The problem is fixed, but Kuro looked distraught about the fact that Dantus ripped the branches from the tree. Lilith saw him shapeshift into a wolf ("Oh, so THAT'S what makes him special") and gesture both Lilith and Andrej to follow him, but Lilith had a different idea in mind. She landed on the branch that Kuro was on and touched it, in an attempt to use her ability to maybe grow back the broken portion of the branch. Tiny branches did sprout all over the branch and some around the tree, but the broken end doesn't seem to be growing back.

"Well, at least I tried." Lilith said, "I guess we should go to that opening ceremony, might as well. By the way, I'm Lilith, Lilith Ellylon." With that, Lilith also flew to the direction of the Stadium.

[Major Ursa]

Miri (Featuring Gwendy)

Together, the two friends made their way into the building...well, Gwendy took a moment to stop a witch from their Flying team to go back to the stall and close it up, before entering into the building without waiting for a response. Taking seats closer to the back, Miri took note of the Minotaur eyeballing her from a row behind her, and his wide and muscly shoulders. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the angel boy they had gone and left behind...gosh, she felt dumb for leaving him behind like that, he probably thought she was a bit dull for not reacting. Damn, if she wasn't always so dazed after the achingly close (but not close enough) interactions. Looking to her friend, she saw Gwendy getting fired up, looking over at the first years out in front and thinking about who to recruit. That's right...Miri also wanted to become an Ace of the club. She didn't want to stay just another succubus, she wanted to become an asset to the Competition Flyer's team...this year, this is what she set out to do!

Andrej (Featuring Kuro, Lilith, and Dantus)

Once again caught off-guard by this third new presence, as much as he was pleased by this being helping him from his minutes long (embarrassing) predicament...seeing his fellow student's reaction to the breaking of the branches made him feel responsible for this less that optimistic reactions. With this in mind, while watching the tiny female being go up to try and grow back what was broken...the water dragon vowed to plant a tree for every medium to large branch broken off...that'd be three trees, then. Looking to his new friend, who went by the name 'Kuro', his eyes visibly widened briefly when human turned to wolf. This, of course, wasn't the oddest thing he'd see, he could only assume at the moment...but if it was relatively out of no where, he had the right to be surprised by it.

"Nice to have met you, Kuro Vargot...Lilith Ellylon...my name is Andrej. I hope our meeting will be frequent for the duration of the year..."

With his horns now freed, he walked briskly to the direction that the assumed instructor indicated. Looking to the small being who called herself 'Lilith Ellylon', Andrej smiled and nodded at her, "Thank you for your assist, and thank you for doing your best to heal the tree." With the memory of the instructor's harsh words still in mind, he sped up a fraction to the direction of the opening ceremony. Since this was his first year, he should follow in with the younger students, who'd likely get a more detailed guide and instructions on the academy. '...my mind wanders back to that...instructor. I wonder why it is stationed here, at this academy when he himself does not seem to be happy, here...? Surely, there are more fitting occupational choices for a tall, skeletal being of a certain intelligence...' ...

[Card Captor]

Gabriel

After reaching the stadium and going off on his own, Gabriel silently took his seat 'no one got anywhere without a positive outlook huh?' he mentally mused, remembering the man's words. 'It's not like being positive ever got me anywhere in life. It sure as hell didn't help me get adopted. For so long, I thought that all I needed was a fresh start; someplace far away where no one knew me. I thought then that I would finally be able to make some friends...so much for that.' his wings sagged as his inner monologue went on

[Sam12435]

Jack, Dagr

Jack was about to walk over to his room with his hefty friend when an announcement for the opening ceremony came over the loudspeaker. He looks towards the stadium before looking back to his tall friend.

“Sorry about this, but I want to go to the opening ceremony.” Jack says as he smiles to Dagr. He throws the room key up to his friend. “Don’t go breaking my key!” Jack yells as he turns around and heads towards the hall. He runs towards the stadium, excited for a new year. He bumps into a few people on his way, yelling apologies to them as he pushes his way through the crowd. He ducks his way under larger students and carefully hops over the smaller ones. He would usually take his time, but he had energy from his nap earlier that he wanted to get rid of. He accidentally knocked over a few students, stopping to help them up, before continuing his run. As he got into the stadium he looked around for someone he knew. He couldn't see anyone near him so he decided he would introduce himself to everyone and make some new friends.

“Hello friends! My name is Jack!” He yelled as he waved into the crowd. He grinned as he looked at the faces of the people around him. He walked over to a group of free seats and sat in the middle, leaving room for new friends. Some people could very easily confuse him for an overactive puppy, rather than a werewolf, and that somewhat annoyed Jack, even though it was true.

[The Wanderer]

John, Zarahk

The loud announcement had sent unpleasant pulses of vibrations through him, making the large statue shudder. He probably wasn't going to get used to that. It was like trying to get used to nails on a chalkboard. Reaching up to tug his hood forward, John followed Simon into the crowd, but turning towards the stadium. rather than to the club stands. Between them, he would likely have the easier time of it, going with the flow.
"Come on, we need to get to the assembly while there is seating!" John yelled over his shoulder towards Zarahk.
John moved into the flowing crowd and was swept along with it. The advantage of being big was that he himself was in no danger of being stepped on, but it was just as hard trying not to step on them. Eventually the crowd stopped pushing as he worked his way deeper into the seats, and eventually John was able to break off from the main column of people, going up the stairs to sit towards the back of the stadium. It was the best position in his opinion, with a nice wall to lean on, in the direct sunlight, warm even through his layers.... so nice... he slumped sideways a bit.

[Iluvatar]

Gideon, Gabriel

Gideon, shaking himself free of whatever trance or spell had affected him, saw the angel he had seen before making off towards the stands. He looked depressed and careworn - out of place amongst the crowd of romping students. Gideon, unsure of what to do, followed him. Despite his solitary nature (born from a lone tributary to the Stour, what can you expect?) he felt sorry for someone so disheartened, and, although the angel was so much older than him, he followed the winged adolescent to the seats.

"Hello." Gideon said quietly, upon sitting close by." My name is Gideon."

[Spawnling]

Everyone

Excusing itself from the group of students it had arrived with, Grey headed towards the center of the stadium. The dull roar of voices began to settle as it raised it's arms, then it's voice echoed out, loud enough for all to hear.
"Good morning everybody! It's wonderful to see so many returning faces to our school! And even better, so many new faces this year! I am the Head of Ouroboros. You can call me Grey! First things first, as I see some whispering going on, some of you may have noticed that your friends and companions are seeing me as something different than what you see."
Grey gave a smile and a dismissive wave.
"You'll get used to it. Suffice to say that there is no wrong way to address me. Moving forward, I will say that some of you may think you are out of place. That you do not belong."
The obsidian black eyes roamed the crowd, still smiling.
"This could not be further from the truth! No matter where you come from, no matter who or what you think you are! Know that you belong here. This Academy has had billions of species pass through it's halls. But it will only ever have the privilege of you once. Whether this be your first year, or your last, I hope you come to think of this school as a home, and all of us your family. No matter what you may think now, know that you will look back on these years with fondness. For all your mistakes, for all your successes, for all the friends you will make and lose!"
Grey cleared it's throat, straightening up with a suddenly serious expression.
"That being said, there are some rules you all need to follow. I will not bore you with them one by one, returning students know them by now, and you newcomers have a list of them within the packet that was sent to your homes. But I will make one thing clear, and please, if you tune out everything I say but one bit, make it this bit that you listen to you most intently."
The Head's voice suddenly seemed to rumble with unimaginable power, sending ripples of authority through the crowd as the entire assembly went silent. The stadium itself seemed to shake from a low quake within the very foundations of the building.
"We do NOT tolerate intolerance. You will represent your species and yourself with the utmost pride and respect for others. There will be no fighting. There will be no discrimination. Those who break this rule will face the consequences of their actions. NO exceptions."
As quickly as the dark mood had descended, it was gone, leaving a strange silence in it's midst as Grey smiled.
"Now then! The rest of the day is given to you, to explore the school grounds and get settled in. Tomorrow, clubs and sports teams will be meeting at designated locations, but you will again have the day off. May I recommend getting to know Purgatory, the lovely city we are stationed in. For the day after that, your classes will start! And so will your wonderful journey! On behalf of myself and the entire faculty, welcome to Ouroboros Academy!"
The older students gave a roar of approval, others giving polite applause as all within the stadium began to filter out. Grey walked out of the center, smiling to itself.

This year was going to be special.

((You have ONE more post you're able to make before we timeskip *which I will do tomorrow regardless of whether or not you have posted* to the next day, where you will meet up with clubs and sports teams, explore the city, and yes, finally meet your long awaited rivals.))

[Berzie]

Anais and Xander | Ajala | Grey

"We should move soon." Anais turned to see a Ajala gesturing for them to go inside. Face hard as stone quickly turned into almost tearful cry. Jumping at the nagini, Anais threw her arms around Ajala's neck as she sobbed, tearlessly. Vampires can cry, but it can get a little messy - what with all the blood and all. "Ajala, it was so terrible! I tried to be nice, but people kept shoving and pushing - and .. and," she gasped between words as Anais tried to explain what had happened earlier, "and I got shoved and then I dropped my umbrella and then I-I got burnt and it hurts but you're here and.." Anais hugged her friend tighter. Ajala was always Anais's go-to friend for whenever she got upset. Xander would always end up making fun of her problems or disappear if things got too serious.

Sniffling a bit, Anais let out a big sigh before going back to her normal dead-faced self. "OK, lets go find a seat," taking Ajala by the hand, the dark haired vampire led the nagini through the crowds - this time being a tad bit more assertive than her usual self. "Hey! Hey over here!" Turning to a cheeky smiling Xander by two spare seats, Anais frowned, turning her head in a sort of 'hmph' manner. She somewhat blamed Xander for the incident from earlier, but deep down, she knew it wasn't his fault. "Come on, I think I see a couple spare seats over there," Anais whispered to Ajala before making their way to the pair of seats. Xander raised an eyebrow as he watched the two girls sit further away from him before gliding towards them from across the Stadium.

"This seat taken, ladies?" He asked, gently landing down on the seat opposite Ajala. "Hey, Anais! You look different. Did you get yourself a tan?" He asked, playfully mocking the burn marks. Anais half screamed/half shouted a "HOW DARE YOU?!" before recoiling back in her seat as a few teachers and students turned to see what the commotion was about. "I'm going to kill you," Anais threatened before Xander rolled his eyes, "but I'm already dea--" before he could finish his sentence, Anais interrupted, "just shut up." The two both pouted in silence, both unhappy with the other as a poor Ajala had to sit awkwardly in the middle.

* * * * *
"Good morning everybody!" Anais's eyes lit up as she heard the same familiar deep voice that she had heard earlier that day. "It's wonderful to see so many returning faces to our school! And even better, so many new faces this year! I am the Head of Ouroboros. You can call me Grey! First things first, as I see some whispering going on, some of you may have noticed that your friends and companions are seeing me as something different than what you see." Hands intertwined on her lap as she listened to Grey's every word, Anais grinned a sharp fanged smile. "You'll get used to it. Suffice to say that there is no wrong way to address me. Moving forward, I will say that some of you may think you are out of place."

"That you do not belong."

Anais's smile faded, as did Xander's, upon hearing the last part. The pair of them were both, well to put it lightly, social outcasts in their human lives. Thinking that what had happened before had to happen again, they both struggled with their first times at Ouroboros. It was hard, but worth it. They met a lot of friendly accepting people and learnt a lot about themselves. "This could not be further from the truth! No matter where you come from, no matter who or what you think you are! Know that you belong here. This Academy has had billions of species pass through it's halls. But it will only ever have the privilege of you once. Whether this be your first year, or your last, I hope you come to think of this school as a home, and all of us your family. No matter what you may think now, know that you will look back on these years with fondness. For all your mistakes, for all your successes, for all the friends you will make and lose!" At that very moment, Anais had given grey the most genuine smile she had ever given anyone. Not for his good looks, or his deep voice, or for the well tailored suit he was wearing - but for the words he was speaking at that very moment.

"That being said, there are some rules you all need to follow. I will not bore you with them one by one, returning students know them by now, and you newcomers have a list of them within the packet that was sent to your homes. But I will make one thing clear, and please, if you tune out everything I say but one bit, make it this bit that you listen to you most intently." Xander had gotten goosebumps as he listened to the Headmaster. "We do NOT tolerate intolerance. You will represent your species and yourself with the utmost pride and respect for others. There will be no fighting. There will be no discrimination. Those who break this rule will face the consequences of their actions. NO exceptions." Anais nodded intently as Xander let out a nervous breath. If there was one person you knew not to mess with, that was Headmaster Grey.

"Now then! The rest of the day is given to you, to explore the school grounds and get settled in. Tomorrow, clubs and sports teams will be meeting at designated locations, but you will again have the day off. May I recommend getting to know Purgatory, the lovely city we are stationed in. For the day after that, your classes will start! And so will your wonderful journey! On behalf of myself and the entire faculty, welcome to Ouroboros Academy!" The pair clapped and cheered, Anais a little bit harder, as Grey made his exit. Turning to face each-other, Xander shrugged. "Truce?" Anais nodded. "Truce." Letting out a yawn, she faced Ajala with a happy grin, "so what do you wanna do now? Explore? Eat? Head back to the room and laze about for the rest of the day?" she giggled.

[Completlie]

Lilith, Grey

When Lilith arrived at the Stadium, she took a spot at the front. She got a good view of the centre of the stadium where the head of the school stands. Lilith took a little surprise when she uncannily resembled an older version of her mother/sister figure, Irene, the person whom Lilith would test her pranks on, yet Irene would be the person to keep Lilith in check to make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.

"Good morning everybody! It's wonderful to see so many returning faces to our school! And even better, so many new faces this year! I am the Head of Ouroboros. You can call me Grey! First things first, as I see some whispering going on, some of you may have noticed that your friends and companions are seeing me as something different than what you see."

"I see, so if I show her to Irene, she wouldn't necessarily see her as herself."

"You'll get used to it. Suffice to say that there is no wrong way to address me. Moving forward, I will say that some of you may think you are out of place. That you do not belong."

Lilith sighed, that last statement has hit her home, she would have to deal with people not really "getting her," in actuality, she rarely pulls any pranks for the fact that she can't really find anybody who understands her nature and the fact that Irene would be gone for most of the school year and spends what's left of her time from creating artworks to nature related activities imagining how she'd prank the person next to her.

"This could not be further from the truth! No matter where you come from, no matter who or what you think you are! Know that you belong here. This Academy has had billions of species pass through it's halls. But it will only ever have the privilege of you once. Whether this be your first year, or your last, I hope you come to think of this school as a home, and all of us your family. No matter what you may think now, know that you will look back on these years with fondness. For all your mistakes, for all your successes, for all the friends you will make and lose!"

Lilith thought about what her school life might be like after Grey's speech "I certainly hope so, and maybe, just maybe I could pull some tricks on people, people who would understand that I'd always like to do so, and in between, I'd like to maybe have some buddies to hang around with, to maybe show some of what I make, and maybe this time around, they'd like it. Maybe I could gain some new abilities, something like regrowing that branch that that damn lich tore apart. Maybe Irene would be right when she said this school could be different after all."

Lilith sat for a moment as Grey explained the rules ("Same old, same old") but even though the rules would be something that she has heard about ten thousand times, the authoritative voice that Grey spoke with made it so that Lilith felt obliged to listen to it. Finally, it's the end of the opening ceremony and everyone's dismissed, Lilith left the Stadium, but the fact that Grey looked like her mother/sister figure caught up with her and that left Lilith wondering why is that so.

[Vocalia]

Ajala, Anais, Xander, Grey (cameo)

Seeing that her vampiric roommate and her ghostly companion were in the middle of an argument, Ajala chose to be a silent observer and believed that they would both calm down eventually, showing no visible discomfort from sitting between two feuding students. As the chatters began to fade, the nagini finally paid attention to Headmaster Grey who was now taking to the podium for his opening speech. She didn't know how other students see the headmaster, but to her eyes, he was a figure of high regard and respect. His partially nude, masculine and buff stature spoke of his confidence and the gaze from his lion eyes reflected years of experience. Formalities aside, she couldn't help but flinch slightly when he stressed the school's stance on species discrimination. Ajala considered herself lucky for being a revered species where she came from, but still made it her personal responsibility to respect every student with equal measure.

Quietly clapping as Grey finally exited the stage, she couldn't help but smile when Anais and Xander finally made up with one another, just as she hoped. The dark-haired vampire then turned to her and asked her about her plan for the day. "Seeing that I'm free for the rest of the day, perhaps I will find something to eat before going around the gardens. Would you like to join me for lunch?" she asked Anais, knowing that Xander wouldn't be able to eat anything even if he wanted to.

[cedric of trall]

Dagr, Lilith, Grey (cameo)

"Now then! The rest of the day is given to you, to explore the school grounds and get settled in. Tomorrow, clubs and sports teams will be meeting at designated locations, but you will again have the day off. May I recommend getting to know Purgatory, the lovely city we are stationed in. For the day after that, your classes will start! And so will your wonderful journey! On behalf of myself and the entire faculty, welcome to Ouroboros Academy!"

Dagr strode into the stadium just as the head master finished his speech, he had stopped by the room before coming to change his clothes and was now in his normal attire. He was decked head to toe in stitched together bear furs, with coloring jumping through the wide range of browns and whites. He felt the most comfortable in his furs, they were the stuff he had grown up in, but of course having stopped by the room first it had cost him valuable time and he really hopped he hadn't been spotted arriving late by the dead teacher...Derrick? No uhm Dan...no that didnt seem right ether, Dantus! That was it Dantus was the litch! Dagr was not particularly scared of the undead professor, there wasn't much that could scare Dagr, but he didn't relish the attention that the ensuing scream fest would attract.

So Dagr was very relieved as the stadium started to emptry and the students started to file out around him, it was short lived however, becuase as he turned to leave he came very close to squishing a little fairy that had been drifting by him. He jumped back immediately an apology already forming in his mouth, only to knock down a minotaur that had been walking past. It jumped back to it's hooves getting ready to give whoever had pushed it a piece of its mind until it realized who exactly had pushed it. Dagr locked it in a withering glare, more to head off an arguments then to actually scare it, it spun and kept walking as if nothing had happened snorting fearfully. Letting out a sigh of relief Dagr turned back to the little fairy "sorry" he rumbled trying hard to sound as nice as possible, witch wasn't easy with the perpetual scowl he always had.

[Sam12435]

Jack, Grey (cameo), Dagr (cameo)

Jack lets out a slight snore as he had fallen asleep during the speech. As the crowd clapped and cheered, Jack awoke. He looked around and looked to see headmaster on stage. Jack treated everyone equal and loved making friends with anyone. This sometimes made people think he was disrespectful. But the headmaster was the one person that he would actually treat with actual and truthful respect. In Jacks eyes, Grey looked like his grandfather, with a fancy looking vest and white hair. He could almost smell the smoke that seemed to emanate from the old man. He looked up and reminisced about the times he had spent with his grandfather, playing, telling jokes and doing things his parents told him not to. He couldn't help but smile a bit as the memories started flooding in. Unfortunately though, those memories brought unwanted ones along with them. Jack leaned forward, putting his head between his legs, trying to get rid of the bad memories. He struggled before he heard a noise. He looked over and saw what looked like his hefty friend bumping into someone. He smiled a bit before he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

“Remembering is tiring” Jack mumbled as he stood up and looked around. He was just wondering what to do before his stomach rumbled loudly. “Oh… I’m really hungry” He said in surprise. He looks around before running down the aisle to the ground. He stopped and admired the stadium before turning and walking towards the exit. “I want pizza” He said to himself. As he got out of the stadium he climbed a nearby tree and used it to get a better look over the large crowd of students around him. “Where can I get pizza…” He said to himself as he looked around. He let out a sigh and sat on the branch. He leaned back and slid around, so he was hanging upside down from the tree. As he looked around a thought occurred to him. “How do I get down now?” He asked himself in a confused tone.
