The smoke laden air was palpable enough that Gary had trouble seeing. Rushing through his nostrils was an oddly putrid and fermenting scent. The boy was stumbling in a stupor, trying to navigate his way through the smoke laden room. However his progress was halted with a quick thud, that caused Gary to fall down onto the stone floor below. Rubbing both of his eyes with the palms of his hands, he began muttering.

"It sees, itseesitsees... omFray Olymposyay" As he continued mumbling, his neck gave a quick twitch as he stood up. Strangely he noticed that the smog blanketing the chamber was giving out. With that, he learned that the object that blocked his path was an aged casket. And more importantly, standing in front of him was a curious looking individual with a drawn bottle of wine.

Gary was not able to see the individual's face, but instead saw something far worse. Gary's pupils dilated as he was starting to take in the horror of that mask. With massive light blue eyes that took up a third of the mask, they metaphorically pierced into Gary's soul. They were crudely drawn, and had a thick layer of black that surrounded them. The head had copious amounts of blue wig fabric which were drawn into two comically sized twin-tails. And alongside this, it held a single mouth agape in something that attempted to resemble a open smile. But it was really just a gaping pink maw which only enhanced the inhumanity of the thing Gary was witnessing.

"Bac-." Was a fragment spoken through a cheap voice changer by the individual wearing the mask. The masked man walked closer as there was a faint jangling come from some piercings. "Cus." Finished the masked man. Gary just stood in place, twitching while he stared onwards now ambivalent about his current situation.

From behind the wine casket, that stopped Gary earlier, slowly emerged another masked individual. Slowly popping up into view was the visage of a bright yellow bear. Now fully standing, Gary recognized the individual to be dressed in a Winnie the Pooh mascot outfit. "Bacchus." spoke the bear, which was quickly followed by another "Bacchus" by the voice changer.

The boy took a step back, and then the strangely dressed individuals took a step forward while continuing the chant. The one with the wine bottle raised it menacingly and then...
________________________________________________________________________
"Bacchus!" Declared Gary as he did a sit up, emerging upwards from a pile of rotting refuse. Taking a quick sniff, Gary realized that yes he was in a pile of garbage. His toes were sticking out from a few blackened banana peels, torn up plastic baggies, and a countless amount of torn up silicon pieces.

Knowing this, he gazed around curiously at his surroundings. Looking down he realized that he was in a straight jacket that was unstrapped and had its straps at the front. And he happened to be sitting next to a gentleman who was dressed in a surprisingly well-maintained Mao Suit who was scratching at his own face while cackling.

Gary tilted his head as he stared at his associate, "Say pal! Where are we?" The man in the suit simply smiled as he grabbed Gary's shoulders. "We're not dead! But where's the suitcase?!" Gary gave a simple shrug, not fully aware of what events passed before awakening in this trash barge. Slapping himself in the face the man gave a small groan, before smiling wildly again. "Remember me?" Gary took a moment as he scoured his mind as he tried to remember previous events. Then it hit him, and Gary beamed a smile. "Yin! ...Am I at the Academy yet?"

Yin began chuckling as he was scratching under his eyes, "If you mean that as a code for Thai Garbage Barge, then yes." Overhead there were countless caws as a flock of seagulls were flying above this intrepid duo. Gary paused for a moment as he began rubbing at his head, "Cool!" The boy declared with a sense of enthusiasm that was not deterred by the fact he was not where he wanted to be. He was sure that he'd reach the place soon enough. However a more immediate thought came to his mind as he crawled up towards Yin and stared him dead in the eyes. "What happened last, day, week, month?"

Twitching, Yin shook his head as he began rocking back and forth. "Theycometheyco-" He shook his head as he realized that the strange boy asked him of what went down. "Well for this situation? It started when..."

In The Mirror

In Depth Appearance:
Gary Crowe is a curious looking individual who stands at 5'6". His hair is always in a perpetually rustled state and has a noticeable layer of grunge and dandruff. Gary maintains a fair amount of unkempt scruff on his face, which does fit with his primary wild hairstyle. His body is rather wiry, with a noticeable lack of muscles. His pupils tend to be dilated wide open and are prone to twitching. If he is not wearing shoes, his toenails have a distinctive sickly yellow tinge to them.

Clothing Style: Gary does not have a true set style when it comes to fashion. He mostly throws on whatever he manages to find.

Personality:
Gary is what some kind people would call 'enigmatic'. Other less kind people would refer to him as 'deranged'. Despite these views of him, boy is rather friendly and tries to hospitable to others. He is eager to provide entertainment and help others indulge in joyful activities. The boy is always upbeat even in the strangest of situations. Gary is prone to engage in strange habits, whether or not people are watching. If someone brings up the fact that Gary is acting 'weird', he will either intentionally tone it up or try to contain it. But one thing is for sure about Gary, something is off.

Background:
Gary's story begins in the city of Los Angeles. He was raised in Green Meadows to his impoverished mother, who barely had any time to watch him. As a latchkey kid, the boy had an unfettered amount of freedom. Namely this involved him engaging in hedonistic affairs, in order to amuse himself. At first his idea of fun was mundane, such as getting booze, but it gradually involved into far more baffling tastes, such as hanging himself upside down on a thin cord while huffing paint.

At age thirteen his youthful shenanigans got him on the wrong side of the law, and he was held in the drunk tank for that night. Upon his release his mother explained to him about the strange method about his conception. It was after that rather detailed description, which would be inappropriate to mention around impolite society, he learned that he was the spawn of Dionysus. As he tried to sleep, and forget about that mental image, he was given information in this hazy state. It was then he learned of the existence of Olympus Academy, and he knew he had to attend it as per the message he recieved.

Till The Snow Falls - A Samurai Tale

Appearance:


Name: Ishibashi Maiko
Age: 35
Gender: Female

Physical Description:
Ishibashi Maiko is a lithe woman who stands at 1.65 meters. Around her eyes she has some noticeable crows-feet. Her hair has a few strands of grey mixed in with the primarily black locks.

Skillset:
Samurai Housewife. As a Onna-bugeisha she knows how to use the Naginata as a weapon of self-defense and is fairly effective with it. Beyond that she is quite apt at various household chores, and conducting tea ceremonies.

Shirabyōshi - As she was a Shirabyōshi, (ie. Female Dancer) Ishibashi is a rather proficient entertainer, especially when it comes to dancing and singing. She is also a competent poet and musician.

Ichigenkin Player - Ishibashi Maiko's instrument of choice, she can play the stringed instrument with a fair amount of skill.

Fisherman - Maiko knows her way around a pole; after all she does hail from a family of fishmongers. If there is a river, lake or ocean and she has the time, Maiko will find an opportunity to fish.

History:
Maiko was born as the third daughter and fifth over-all child of the Shima Family, a fairly well off Merchant family who dealt primarily with fishing. Maiko was groomed in her early years, much like her older sisters, to become a faithful wife. So she learned how to tend to the house, prepare meals, practicing her calligraphy and other essentials to that extent.

When she was eight her father hosted a party that would help guide her down the path that would eventually get her connected to the Raremashita Clan. During that party Maiko learned of the existence of Shirabyōshi. Maiko was enthralled by how they entertained the male guests so, and had the desire to join their ranks. Maiko went to her father and mother and asked if she could join the troupe. Her mother and father discussed at lengths and eventually decided to allow her to join them.

In the Shirabyōshi Troupe she traveled across Japan entertaining various families and scouring for someone she wanted to marry. At age fourteen she arrived to perform on the lands of the Raremashita Clan. It was there she met Ishibashi Masaru, a seventeen year old son from a relatively new family of warriors who fought under the Clan. She found herself drawn to him for his charm, looks, and what really grabbed her attention was how quick he could gut a fish.

Masaru, was not yet married and found himself attracted to her. Fairly quickly the two married and Maiko was now Ishibashi Maiko, a samurai's wife. Masaru bonded with his wife and helped her around a naginata so she could defend herself and the home when he was out, or if he decided to bring her along for war. The two had a relatively peaceful life, as Maiko gave birth to her three children, Ishibashi Takeo, Ishibashi Junichi and Ishibashi Momo, (currently aged 19, 16 and 4 respectively)

However a dark fate would fall upon the Ishibashi Household during the Second Uprising. Her husband valiantly went out to slay these enemies, and brought his boys with him to engage in his first real bit of warfare. All the while Maiko found herself needing to use her naginata as her house was also getting attacked, and she would not allow her children to die. While she managed to survive, her husband and son were not as fortunate.

She swore that she would kill them all until she was positive the culprits who did that fatal blow against her beloved husband and child, were dead by her hands. Fortunately, to that end she was called to guard the heir to the clan. And with that, Maiko knew she could get her vengeance and taking little Momo with her, she would make sure her daughter would not suffer the same fate as her father and brothers.

Psychological Profile: There is a curious question on what to do if a cuckoo does not sing. Out of the three answers, Maiko would go with the option of coaxing it. She knows the power of persuasion and views it as her primary tool. However she knows that persuasion by resources and personality is not enough and if need be, she won't shy away from resorting to violence as a means for persuasion. Maiko is a rather vibrant hostess, taking great pains to make sure that everything is going swimmingly. However when she is not actively hosting celebrations and ceremonies, she tries to be demure, but occasionally her perky nature pokes through. Ishibashi Maiko views herself as but a simple housewife, and will insist on that fact if she is given credit for anything. Maiko is extremely protective of her family, whom she loves deeply and wants to keep them happy and safe. Due to this she holds an undying hatred to the Geniko Clan and allies who murdered her husband and her sons, and seeks for their lineage to be destroyed fully and utterly.

Equipment/Weapons:
Ko-naginata - A glaive with a shorter blade than the standard battlefield naginata, it allows for better dexterity for self-defense.
Uchigatana- This was originally her husband's sword, she doesn't use it for battle but rather as part of dance. She primarily keeps it to honor her husband's memory.
Kaiken - A 25 cm dagger in a plain wooden sheath
Santoku bōchō - All Purpose Kitchen Knife
Calligraphy Set - A collection of various bottles of inks, feathers and a few pieces of parchment
Tea-set - In it is a chaiken (cloth for wiping the tea bowl) one tea bowl for thick teas and one for thin teas, two clay cups, a tea caddy, a tea scoop and a tea whisk
Spare Kimono
Shirabyōshi Outfit - Has a red hamaka, white and red suikan, hand-fan and a tate-eboshi hat
Two large linen sacks
