[Alice]

“I think we finally found it!” Alice’s mother exclaimed.
“Found what?” asked Alice, turning her wheelchair to face her mother.
“A way to cure you!” her father replied.
Alice’s eyes widened, almost shining, “Really?” I can’t believe it! Maybe I’ll finally be able to walk on my own legs again--it’s been so long!
“Yeah, a place called ‘Skyline Institute’, it’s a boarding school said to make dreams come true. And that miracles happen there. And that the only requirement they have is that you need to be able to see a floating island. But I remember you going on about a floating island after your accident, right?” her father continued on excitedly, about to jump up and down with joy.
“Yeah, and you told me I was hallucinating,” Alice says jokingly.
“It’s a bit too late to send in an application so we can just fly over to Illinois, and if we can present adequate proof at the gate that you can see it, you’ll be accepted!” her mother added enthusiastically.
“We booked a flight for us to go there just tomorrow morning! So we had better get packing soon,” her father said cheerfully.
“Alright,” Alice piped happily. I wonder what kinds of people I’ll meet there!




[Naoi]

Naoi smirks as he looks at his acceptance letter to Skyline Institute. I was denied the chance to go to Naraka High, but now… Heh. I wonder how many people wander into this place clueless of what’s about to happen. Don’t they realize it’s really all too good to be true? No matter, the more lost they are, the easier it is to manipulate them. He walks over to the living room, where his parents were.
“Mother, father, I’ve been accepted to Skyline. You said you had already bought me a plane ticket to go to the United States, right?” Naoi queries.
His father stops reading the newspaper, stands up, and puts a hand on Naoi’s shoulder, “We did, son. Now go make us proud.”
“Yes, father. I’ll bring prestige and honor into this family,” Naoi says resolutely.
His father backs away as his mother moves in to hug him, “Stay safe. Please.”
Naoi returns the hug, “I’ll do my best.”
I will definitely survive and graduate from Skyline Institute.

Don't worry, take all the time you need. It is always possible for people to join the RP in progress (transfer students and all that). :)
Important Note: Information about current blight, student statistics, and class assignments can be found on the second post of OOC. :)
[Eliisa]

“In a few days you’ll be going to Skyline Institute instead of your old high school.”
“What?” exclaimed Eliisa, confused. She stared at the two figures in front of her-- her parents. Her mother had just finished speaking.
“We submitted the application several months ago for you. Remember when we asked if you could see a floating island?” her father continued.
“Well...yes,” Eliisa conceded, trying to suppress her frustration by balling her fists. I should’ve paid more attention when they asked me about the floating island. They never explain anything fully to me, never consult me on matters that pertain to me, and think they always know what’s best.
“This school only requires one year in order to graduate. After graduating, you can have any job or career you want. And we got a notice that you were accepted several weeks ago! Isn’t that wonderful?” stated her mother enthusiastically.
“Yeah. It is,” Eliisa replied cheerfully through gritted teeth. Sounds too good to be true. But at the very least, if I graduate I can be free from my parents.
Her mother’s face suddenly became stern, “Keep your posture straight!”
Eliisa flinched and adjusted her posture immediately, “Yes, mother. But why didn’t you tell me about--”
“Stop asking unnecessary questions and go start packing. You’re flying over to the United States tonight,” her father interjected.
“Yes, father,” Eliisa said in a resigned tone and began to slowly saunter to her room. I’ll be leaving everything I know behind…




[Elliot]

The crisp, dank scent of freshly fallen rain lingers in Elliot’s nostrils as he walks past an odd flyer advertising Skyline Institute with the words, ’Can you see the floating island?’ stamped on it in huge obtrusive font.

It’s not the first time Elliot has heard of the school before; it was fairly famous after all. Rumors said that graduating from Skyline granted people a lot of prestige and allowed them to obtain any job they wanted afterwards. And as long as you could see the island, all expenses for the school would be provided.

He was certainly intrigued the first time he saw the advertisement. He even had considered applying then, but his confidence failed him. In a place like that, I’d be the dumbest one there. And be made fun of. Elliot shoots a quick glance at the floating island in the sky-- he’d been able to see it as long as he could remember. His gaze falls back to the book he’s holding and resumes reading. Elliot had long mastered the art of reading while walking.
As he nears his house, he spies unwelcome but familiar faces in the edges of his vision. Elliot ducks his head low, hoping he wouldn’t be noticed.
“Hey, nerd!” a guy strolls over and pokes him with a finger.
Elliot tenses his shoulders a bit and tries to ignore him.
“Hey! I was talking to you, nerd. Have you gone deaf?” the boy taunts.
“Maybe you need to be rougher with him,” another person pipes.
The color in Elliot’s face slowly drains from his cheeks and he speeds up his pace, attempting to brush his antagonizers off. But hands from behind shove him roughly into a giant puddle. Elliot uses his forearms to land, but the book jolts out of his hands from the impact and falls into the puddle. That was..one of my favorites. My father bought it for me before he died. Elliot had to suppress the choking feeling welling up in his throat-- he had always handled his books with the utmost care, especially that one.
“Awww, your book got wet. Are you going to cry now?”the culprit says maliciously.
Elliot silently picks up the book, gets up, and starts running back to his house. I can’t cry. I can’t cry. I can’t cry.
“See you later, loser!” a third guy jeered.
I need to get out of this place. His steps slowed down as he reached his home. Elliot tucked the book under an arm while he checked the mailbox for mail. Rifling through the letters, he notices one from Skyline Institute. He unlocks the front door to his house, leaves the rest of the mail on a table, and begins to open the letter from Skyline. What could they possibly want?
Tearing the envelope open carefully, Elliot extracts the letter and starts to read it.

“Dear Elliot Zhang,

We are delighted to inform that you have been accepted into Skyline Institute. Skyline Institute is a prestigious school that...”

He had been reluctant to apply at first, but his desire to escape from his current situation became greater than his hesitation. Should I accept? But then again, what do I have to lose? Maybe I could actually do something useful after I graduate. However unlikely that is, Elliot thought bitterly. He walked to his room and set the soaked book gingerly down on his nightstand before collapsing onto the bed.
I want to get out of here.
@Blitz

Accepted with the changes--let the IC begin! :D
@Blitz

This is a really nice application. I feel bad for saying that I have to reject this one just because of the word section (it's always that section that trips people up >.>). As with http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/spirit, other uses of 'spirit' would be to summon fairy, sprites, or elves; also manipulate moods to be negative (low spirits), tempers, dispositions, and attitudes; create and manipulate alcohol; and be able to "carry off mysteriously or secretly." If you makes those edits, then your application will be accepted. :) Word range limit will only apply if Kylie tries to rip out or destroy someone else's spirit. Again, great application with lots of detail, just needs the word section to include all the other usages.
@ShadowRaeper

Rejected, but only because of an incomplete description of his word. Spike would also be able to create and manipulate the sap or juices of plants as well as manipulate people's temperaments. In addition any noun words are able to create the noun, so Spike doesn't actually have to use his own blood-- but he can if he wants to. And the 6 meter range would only apply whenever he manipulates other people's blood. :) Aside from those things, there are several minor grammatical errors such as the lack of capitalization of 'American' and 'Japanese', plus a misspelling and a sentence fragment. But all and all, an interesting application and a welcome addition.
@Blitz

Sure! There's always room for more people. :)
@Lone_Eagle21

Accepted, thanks for making the edits. :) We're very close to starting IC soon as well. :D
@ShadowRaeper@Scarifar

Would love to have you both join. :) The IC stuff is going to start soon too, so you may want to submit a character application soon. There have also been planned plot arcs--some depend on the choices the characters make, others will not. But there will definitely be some fun stuff coming up in terms of blights and random events. ^_^

Also added a link in the first post to the RP for anyone who's interested. :D
