Life exited room 6, HIS room. After taking care of his, belt, wand. PLT registration, everything was going good, except for all those blasted demerits he acquired. He made his way to the dining hall, just before he passed the offices someone almost crashed into him.

"Woah, watch!-"

Suddenly he noticed the person was Shermie, tears hidden by her hands propped over her face. He was unsure what to say after that, he wasn't good with "Things"

He wanted badly to say something that would ease pain, any friend of his suffering would rend his soul. Especially one he felt close to, and obligated to assist if ever the need arose. Perhaps things are best left unsaid he thought, but his doubt was eating away.

[xXSINXx]

As Shermie ran by Life, she busted through her dorm room door and flung herself upon her bed, leaving the door open.

"It's not fair.."

Shermie then sat up and went into her drawer, pulling out a razor blade.

"Why even bother now, i'm powerless and alone.."

[Diabolic]

@xXSINXx

A blade, a razor blade... Life was so close to death in that moment he saw from outside Shermie's open door. Life slowly moved into the room, calm and collected. He had changed, perhaps for the better.
He was so calm in fact, his arms fell limp by his side, shoulders held high. Towering over Shermie, somewhat intimidating but, also. He wanted in, and she need desperately now more than ever, someone who would guide her from a path down which she could not atone.

He grabbed her arm and moved it open, having her wrist facing up towards the ceiling. He placed his index finger on a vein and spoke.

"You may not know, but... I can manipulate blood, it is very useful as a vampire to do so for myself. My purposes, as well as others if needed. I say this now, because what better time ah?"

Life traced the vein from her wrist, and higher up her arm.
"I can see, feel...juuust hear, all circulation- and I know exactly where to cut."

He removed himself from her.

"But I am here, you will be seldom alone. And what greater power, than love? See... You control death yes? But, yet. You've given me NEW life, opened the door to friendship, and compassion. You're better than this. You're better with me."

He closed the door, as to let nobody see the blade, and the incident that could potentially take place. He sat beside her and placed his hand on her hand with the razor.

[xXSINXx]

Shermie was speechless as she stared into Life's eyes. His touch felt soft, a touch she hasn't felt in a very long time. As Life backed off, she dove in to hug him.

"I feel safe when your around." She said softly. "Like all my worries float away, is this love?" (Baby don't hurt me)

She looked up into his eyes and smiles slightly, although her hair was covering her face.

After putting away her PLT and her other belongings which were relevant to her, Elizabeth scurried along to where the food was. There was food and people aplenty. They were no real concern if Elizabeth's; let them socialize with their newfound friends for as much as they wish. Elizabeth grabbed a slice of pizza and took a seat at an empty table. A feeling came across her. This was not what she had been wishing for.

Elizabeth did peripherally hear the conversings of the other students. Mostly bits and pieces, and not a cent more. It was not of her concern and, more importantly, it was not in her interest. They were only just settling in, and it was not until later when the true excitement would begin. Once things were known to her, the order of things elucidated, Elizabeth could conjure some proper plans, and she absolutely would not fail.

"Awesome, I'll see you there sometime", she smiled. She walked off and went to Life and Shermie to see what we needed to do next. She walked up to them and said "Hey, what do we have to do now?"

[RavenTLark]

@Eklispe

Skotadi suddenly could hear a voice coming from the castle so she turned around towards the direction that the voice had come and saw a boy rapping on the window and looking straight at her. She looked at him for a while to make sure that she wasn't crazy but it didn't help as she still thought that she was going mental, she thought to herself that it wasn't possible for people to get stuck in paintings," No, I'm not inside of a painting, that would be illogical, no, I am in a parallel universe, simple, parallel universes are totally possible," she hadn't heard of scientists figuring that subject out yet but it's not like they know everything. Skotadi decided to go towards the castle and therefor get closer to the boy, she wanted to know if he had any information on this universe that could possibly help her situation. She started walking towards the castle doors, her walking was a lot faster than you would think but she had always been a fast walker, her walk was the equivalent to someone's jog. She didn't walk this fast on purpose, she had merely gotten used to having to move quickly and quietly.

@Ninkitty

"I agree with you. I have had a decent life. At least I had food and shelter as well as all of my basic needs met during my lifetime. Some have not had that much. All we have to do now is to understand who we are now, right?" Mystique smiled at Ayaka.

@xXSINXx

Lady Violetta looked horrified and pushed her glass towards Sir Marilyn.
"I do believe that you have me messed up with someone else from YOUR PAST. Thank you for retrieving the Necronomicon. Since you have it, please make a copy for yourself and one for me. Then the original needs to be placed in box. But the only one that can do so is Miss Shermie must do so herself. It is time for me to mingle with the rest of the people here. Please let me know when you have the copies made and the Original in the box." Lady Violetta spoke in a cold voice.

After she was finished with the so called butler, she walked away so that anyone can speak with her.

[Diabolic]

@xXSINXx "I suppose it is, life held Shermie in his arms."

He smiled

"Lets catch up witht he other students"

[Dark Cloud]

@Magnato

"Oh I am sorry indeed I was looking for that girl I talked to earlier,"

Jak looked this new girl over and he then said jokingly.

"So you think I am going to open the gates to hell eh?"

Jak smiled in good humour and then continued.

"If you had said that to anyone else like me they probably would've totalled the whole school and destroyed everything but you are talking to a more calmed Demonoid I am a Warlock as you might call I have Demon and Human blood"

Jak looked around checking if any teachers were around or anyone else for that matter and then showed this person his actual appearance.

He looked a little taller and muscular with Obsidian coloured skin and Dark pupil less eyes and small dark horns and a small pointed tail.

Then he reverted to normal which he preferred the form to his demonic humanoid form.

"And no I will not open the gates to hell I am trying to adapt to your kind of life as humans because I am willing to try puting aside my differences and adapt"

He cleared his throat and then looked at the girl and asked.

"What is your name?"

[Eklispe]

Wynn ran around and met the girl at the front door, "Hey, you're just in time for food. My name's Wynn, follow me to the dining hall there's food I think and there's a teacher lady that knows whats going so you can ask her questions." Wynn said quickly leading her to the dining hall. "Oh sweet, pizza!" Wynn exclaimed and hurriedly grabbed some slices and dug in, "Free pizza this place can't be that bad." he said to himself.@RavenTLark

[Magnato]

The reaction that Irena had when she saw the demon form was to grim, the sweat going down her face however revealed she was quite nervous

"Irena Selgair" she said, now with a more casual stance "And its a good thing you don't want to open the gates to hell, otherwise I would have to beat some senses into you" she jested

"You know, I think we might make a run for that pizza, at this pace we will have none... You like pizza right?"

@Blackmist16

[Dark Cloud]

@Magnato

"Of course deary I would love some Pizza and you act as though I have never tasted it!"

Jak laughed and patted Irena on the back.

"You do crack me up but besides that why do you come to this Academy Irena?"

Jak asked Irena with a pleasant yet quizzical look on his face.

[Magnato]

@Blackmist16

"Me? Well, I found the picture while I was chasing a thief off. From 'Letta's explanation though I probably had some reason other than luck, not sure if my parents were part of this but well, I do like the idea of being able to harness the powers of nature, you know, ride the storm, call thunders, make magical toasts with my mind. Particularly interested in animal bonding and shapeshifiting, was always the wildest kid in my school you know, plus I already have the fangs"

As she talked she walked closer to the elevator, finally using it to access the dinner area

[Ninkitty]

@Aisling
"Yeah," Ayaka said laughing a little. "Since I don't understand much of what's going on, I decided on traditional magic. What about you?" Speaking of that question, she still wanted to ask Jak that, except that she had no idea where he was at the moment.

[Aisling]

"I decided to take both courses so that I can get the most classes in that I can. I don't know anything about magic so I figured that more classes, the better. " Mystique spoke then covered her ears with her hands as she shuddered.

Lady Violetta made s shrill whistle which could be heard through out the Castle Academy. Then she projected her voice so that all could hear.
"All students report to the Dining Room immediately for the afternoon lecture. You have five minutes."

[Blizz]

[RavenTLark]

@Eklispe

Skotadi looked at Wynn for a minute while he ate and then she asked," Excuse me, but where exactly is this place? Plus, I don't see how free pizza makes a place 'good'. It would be better to say that this place was liveable therefor making it 'good'." She looked around at the people in the room, trying to decide who would know the most about wherever she was but eventually got bored of it and sat down on one of the chairs at the dining table. Oh, she just wished that she could of had time to pack, then she could be reading a book or listening to music instead of just sitting there with nothing to do but she wasn't going to start complaining. Skotadi figured that basically everyone there would of come through a portal to get here as this was the only thing as far as the eye could see in this parallel universe.

[Aisling]

Lady Violetta smiled and only hoped that everyone was there for she lost track of everyone. She did see Thomas who she would need to see and have a meeting with before she retires for the night. It was getting way too fast for her liking but she must adjust to her new life style one way or another.

"Listen up, Students. You may eat while I do this lecture. This is the last lecture of the day. There is a Bulletin Board in the first room where you came in at. Please check this bulletin board frequently. You may ask questions at the end of the lecture." Lady Violetta spoke as she walked down one side of the long dining room table. I will give you a poll later and you may vote on it after the lecture.
When we are finished here, you may take turns reading the bulletin board. One thing that you will find on it is the day of the week. Another thing is upcoming events.

Now for the lecture.

You are at this moment a newbie. When we start classes, you will automatically be a Level 1 Student.
The same will go for each of the 5 levels of lessons here at Caldwell’s. You will be either a Traditional or Draconic Student which is abbreviated TS or DS. Perhaps one or two of you will be taking both Traditional and Draconic Classes. You would be considered an Over Achiever or OAS. This is the how your name tags will be printed. Most of you will have either TS or DS after your name and Level 1.

Each summer there will be a camping course that is devoted to an area of expertise. Each summer will be a bit different and yet the same. The areas of Expertise will are: Water, Earth, Ores and Minerals, Fire, Air. I do not know anything about the camps since I have not done any summer camps. You will have a different teacher for those camps.
Once you have completed all of the 5 levels of and have achieved at least Level 4 Citizenship, you may test out. There is a Testing and Exiting point that you will pass through. You will need to use your wits and knowledge that you have acquired in the various classes to pass through the Testing and Exiting point.

To achieve the Extra Credits, you will need to have Extra Credits Courses for various Careers. Some of them I will instruct while others will be done by Auto Robots in the Independent Study Labs. Thomas might come up with a few as well. These courses are designed so that we have an activity for relaxation time and a useful skill that we may use in the future. Few will be required for a degree. Try to select your degree early so you can plan what kind of subjects that you will need.

Level 1 Independent Study Courses

Here are the ones that I have come up with for this semester.
