Super Yacht aka The Merlin

Hiiro was slightly perplexed. He had been expecting haughty rich kids or arrogant geniuses.

His expectations were not met, however, the students that followed after him weren't exactly the norm. Especially that guy, he thought. Hiiro snuck another glance at the fellow blonde that was sitting at the darkest corner of the room. Who was he to judge though, everyone had their circumstances.

He recalled when the other kids wouldn't approach him. They all thought he was weird. Ah. He brushed off those thoughts and decided he would judge the rest after they interacted.

It was then that he appeared.

Eh...when?!

"Now that everyone has arrived, we can finally depart."

Hiiro hadn't taken his eyes off the door after the green haired kid with the gun arrived. The last person to enter the room should have been the girl who introduced herself as Ren Hayashi... not the black haired ikemen in front of them.

"Now that everyone has arrived, we can finally depart."

He made sure to lace his words with annoyance and glared at Ren momentarily. The man known as Kentarou Hanade hated tardiness. This girl had the galls to arrive an ENTIRE minute late?!

However, he quickly composed himself. He was here to return a favor to Natsu.

"Where was I again? Ah, yes. The Merlin will take exactly two hours to arrive at Zandore Island. In the mean time, you can explore the yacht once I'm done with a short briefing. So lets not waste anymore time shall we? I am Kentarou Hanade, a year 4 student who was given the task of prepping you guys so you may begin classes immediately."

Kentarou adjusted his tie. He was wearing the same uniform as them except it was completely black. Yes, Kentarou Hanade was an S ranked student.

"None of you would know since outflow of information from Zandore's Boarding Academy is limited but the school term officially started a week ago. You are the last group of students to arrive. Regarding the reasons you were incorrectly informed to arrive today was due to a pesky group delinquents pretending to be cyber terrorists. They were of course dealt with accordingly."

Natsu was the reason they were apprehended and Kentarou owed her for that as he was the vice-president of the disciplinary commitee. Kentarou went on to explain how their missing attendance would not affect them as well as their compensation of 20,000 yen which would be added to their student card.

"...your student card can be found within the envelope. Your rank is listed at the front of the card. If you believe you have been ranked inaccurately, you are free to rise up on your accord through the shuffle matches. Either that or you can wait patiently for the reclassing in three months."

All of a sudden, on the table in front them lay an envelope. It had not been there previously.

"That concludes what I have to say, enjoy your remaining ride aboard The Merlin."

Kentarou casually left the room.

Regarding Tone In RPGs

Most roleplays tend to be neutral about this though. For example in an action fantasy rp like slaying dragons, it is fairly common to see both light hearted characters as well as those with grim pasts.

However, if you were making say, a roleplay about a pokemon adventure, then putting in a tragic past about being raped is clearly not suitable.

Zandore's Boarding Academy

All da activity +_+.

Aoife and Able are accepted.

Welp, I'm off for dinner and a movie so I'll get a post up when I'm back in a few hours. It will mostly be about interacting with the rest. The people who have to post are Shadylady and Potato+Santa who just got accepted. I'll give you guys till Sunday, 6pm GMT-8 to get your characters to the conference room before the briefing starts. No need to worry though, if you can't post by then we'll have your characters travel to the academy by an alternate route; I just don't want to keep everyone waiting when introductory posts have flexibility in them.

wut.

well when you're waiting for someone you in an empty room, you either stare into the distance or use your phone.

EDIT: I love how the butler uses different phrases for everyone when he checks their identity.

One.

Forgive me my mind was jumbled up.

Postssssssssssss <3

But I don't think Kanzen and Hiiro are seated at the same table.

It is located at the lower decks so there's still a moderate amount of sunlight. You could request the Butler to draw the curtains.

Indeed when everyone is gathered in the conference room, they will receive their ranks confidentially.

Also, my Nike shoes just got stolen so I'm off to school in dirty work shoes.
