Hello and welcome! And indeed, don't worry about it. Half of the internet is antisocial to an extend, especially on rp forums. If we can't be social in real life, at least our characters can be.

I don't mind if the rp moves a little slower, that gives the characters time to adapt to their new situations and gives us time to write out their characteristics :D
By the way, excuse me if my posts seem rushed. I sometimes forget to double-check them (especially when I'm sick and tired and it's 01:20 (1:20 AM) at night).
Also, do you maybe have some reference pictures of how the island/buildings look like? Should I imagine old-timey buildings, or more like a cityscape similar to New York? And what about technology on the island? Are there computers or anything similar/more advanced? I'm really interested in how different this world is than ours, if at all different except for the l a s e r g u n s (still awesome) and the pests.

‘And then I’ll take your pink one!” spoke the tiny girl. Maddox shot her a look and before she could respond Mikkish spoke again, saying that nobody would get his pink wand. ‘That explains why you don’t have a girlfriend.’ She casually said. She really didn’t feel like humouring the pair while she was semi-listening to what Richard was saying. Unlike Bara, who did count the buildings at his request, Maddox liked to keep her mouth shut and sit through it all until she got some real answers.
Stepping into the elevator she felt the queasy feeling when the elevator went down. The faint change in altitude messing with her stomach and sense of balance until the elevator came to a halt. When the doors opened, Maddox refrained from stepping out for a moment, nearly gasping at the sight before her. They were here. Maniacles headquarters. She never really wondered where they were located. Maniacles always seemed like a huge company with lots of buildings and many Headquarters, but seeing the actual headquarters left her just standing there and staring in front of her. Quickly she cleared her throat and recovered herself, looking slightly out of place. Maddox followed the rest of the gang out onto the street, where Mikkish and Evan already had their guns out. Maddox didn’t fully take Richard’s word on the no-pest-situation, but she wasn’t this paranoid, although she did put one hand on her holster where her gun was located. Sadly it wasn’t anything fancy – those were illegal after all and she couldn’t board the helicopter unless she got rid of her laser-weapons -, but she had a gun nonetheless. It was something... Something small, but something.
“What?” asked a slightly-annoyed Maddox when Mikkish abruptly stopped in front of her, almost making her crash into him. “Wait. What did you see?” she continued when she noticed his expression before briefly analysing the situation. He couldn’t have seen one of the pests, he would have pulled out his gun. Would’ve probably pulled his gun out if he saw anything of danger. Of course she didn’t know him but given his actions it wasn’t too big of a leap to think that. No, this had to be something different, and she really wanted to know what it was. More than she’d like to admit. She quickly looked at the street which was nearly empty except for a few persons walking there. She looked back at the group which was almost 50 feet ahead and Maddox quickly caught up to them. Her little chit-chat with Mikkish would have to wait until later. For now she just focussed on looking around her and focussing on the street.
It was quiet out in the streets. On a normal day one would hear all sorts of things. Screams, mostly. Also gunfire. Here it was quiet, eerily quiet. It made her feel slightly unnerving. She had gotten used to the sounds of the city. It even comforted her in a weird twisted way. When they finally arrived at their destination, it was already getting dark and Maddox felt relieved when they got where they needed to be. At least she’d be out of the quiet streets.
‘This is it. Magus Academy.’ Richard sounded like a news broadcaster or a tour-guide. ‘’And here we are ladies and gentleman, Magus Academy! On your left you will see the old tree of wisdom, and on your right you will see the ancient fountains of youth!” Maddox slightly chuckled at her own thoughts. Mainly because it really wouldn’t surprise her if Richard said that, especially with all this magic-talk the last few hours. What did surprise her was the fact that all the girls would share one room. It was big apparently, but it didn’t make her feel any better. It really didn’t make her feel any better when Richard said no one would get keys until tomorrow.
‘What bullshit is this?!’ she angrily whispered to Mikkish who was standing next to the fountain. ‘No keys until tomorrow? They knew we were coming, seems like a pretty bad scheduling system if they don’t account for expected guests…’

Hi, I'm half finished with my CS, can I post the half finished one here and update it tomorrow? Since I basically promised I would post it today, I feel quite bad I haven't finished it yet, but I can post what I already have typed out (unless you rather have it that I wait until I'm finished and then post it in its entirety)
Hi, I'm sorry, but I couldn't finish the CS today. Got sick (yay). You can expect it tomorrow (if I'm feeling better that is). I hope that's not a problem? :)
We all get busy, don't worry about it :) You know this already I suppose, but real life is more important than an rpg.
Only real plot movent was that the heli landed and Mikkish character explained something about the island. We aren't much further than that (:

Hello and welcome!
Welcome!
“Please do not…” said the Asian boy. Maddox turned her head back in his direction to look him directly in the eyes. “An-tag-o-nize me.” He continued. He spoke slowly, clearly not fully understanding the English language, but learning it. She had to give him some credit for trying to make conversation, although she did wonder what he meant with ‘antagonizing him’ since she hadn’t said a word to him except asking him about what. Maybe he thought that was a bad word? She mentally shrugged.
“What is bout?” Maddox nearly chuckled at this. She almost wanted to give him a wrong explanation, giving the word a completely different meaning, but the boy was faster. He guessed correctly that she meant ‘about’, oh well. There would be plenty of times she could mess with the boy. Just as Maddox gave him a small nod to conform his question, the door opened. Had they landed already? Maddox looked out of the windows of the aircraft and saw the ground, but they hadn’t landed yet. She turned back to the man who had walked in. He reminded her of American agents you see in movies. Black sunglasses, expensive suits and shoes, and an expression to intimidate anyone he made eye-contact with. He began speaking about Maniacles, pests and the lack thereof. No pests huh? Maddox thought. It made sense. She didn’t think pests could swim and the only way on and off the island was via the sea or the sky – or maybe underground but there were no tunnels she knew of -. At the same time she should be careful to assume pests couldn’t swim. Maybe they could. She didn’t know, but she should have.
And then… the man spoke of this so called ‘magic’. She kept looking directly into the eyes of the man, almost looking through them to prevent her from rolling her eyes or sighing. Harry Potter… Was he serious? She was still paying attention, but it was like listening to a fairy tale. What he said next did peak her interest. A school, a college. Maddox never went to college. Never even finished high-school. She dropped out to make some easy cash. She had never really regretted it, but she did like learning. Not learning maths or useless shit, but learning skills. Magic or fancy tech, she probably would learn something cool. It was Maniacles for God’s sake. They teach their students well, and if they are even bringing them to a remote island, then it must really be something special. Maddox didn’t show it, but her interest was peaked.
“Well, anything you experience can be explained with science.” There it was. Science. She believed in science. Believed in laser guns. Science was good, rational even. ’Magic\ couldn’t be explained – except maybe by science if she were to believe the man -. The man spoke further about dorms and an academy. Dorms… She didn’t really look forward to sharing a room with someone. She liked her privacy.
Suddenly she felt a queasy feeling. Kind of sickish feeling even. The helicopter was nearing the ground quickly, before landing with a soft thud. She unbuckled and stepped of the aircraft after the ones closer to the doors had stepped out. When everyone was out the man spoke further. Malfic City. So that’s where they were. She didn’t know it, but remembering the name could be useful. She briefly looked at the Asian boy. Would he understand all this? And if so, would he take the man’s – Richard’s – comment about the buildings seriously? Probably, seeing that he made quite a few notes back in the helicopter. Turning back to see the island, she wondered how large it was. The buildings blocked her sight from the horizon. She should have paid more attention whilst in the helicopter, but then again, she could recall it being foggy, so she probably wouldn’t have seen anything anyways.
The Asian boy spoke again, and Maddox question was answered when the man - Richard - spoke fluently back to him. It took her a little by surprise. He really didn't seem like the guy to know the language, but then again she only knew these types from film and TV, so that argument could be up for debate.
'Well here we go. On our way to Hogwarts. Did you remember your magic wand?' Maddox jerked her head to the direction the voice was coming from. Damn it... Stop it with the Hogwarts she thought. Nonchalantly she grabbed a dirt-riddled stick off the floor and pressed it firmly in his hand. "You can have mine. Your pink glittery wand requires an update." With that she redirected het gaze back at Richard and took mental notes about the important things (which was like 10% of the things he said).
