LibertyVille Public Highschool(A not so normal,anything could happen highschool)

Coraline placed the winnings into her wallet, before picking up the Ace of Spades and studying it. Why was she supposed to keep it? A deck short of a card usually wasn't overly useful. Glancing over it, she could see nothing strange about it, so she decided to place it in her wallet anyway - surely it couldn't hurt. She then turned her attention to the new playing cards, taking note of the fact that they were glowing slightly. That made whatever fortune that was to come seem slightly more valid in her mind, considering the school she was in and all. She reached out and pulled out three cards from the fan, two from the left and one from the right, before laying them down on the table - the nine of spades, jack of diamonds, and five of hearts. She glanced at Ace curiously, to see what he said about them.

Tower of Prospect

Bast was pretty pleased that both Johnathon and Aldric wished to head to the Containment Corps as well, as it would be helpful to figure out where exactly she was supposed to go. However, Aldric's speech was interrupted by someone bumping into him from behind. Expecting a simple apology and then both people moving on from the incident without a problem, she was rather confused when the red haired man froze up and stared in shock, before asking the man if he were his brother. She took a good look at the new stranger - at first glance, the two of them didn't have that many features in common, with the different hair colours and eye colours they had, but she also noted the similarities in their faces, and they both had a similar build, although Aldric was notably taller. It could be possible that they were related she guessed, but clearly Aldric and the stranger were the best people to decide this. She stood back to watch the scene unfold.

Coraline couldn't contain her smirk as Ace revealed his cards. She placed her own three on the table, the ace of spades, six of hearts and three of hearts, for a grand total of twenty points. "I guess I win then." She said with a small smile. "Good game though - it was fun."

She picked up the card, and nodded in response. "No, I'll stand thank you." Ace seemed confident, Coraline noted. But of course, that could be a bluff. She'd find out soon enough, she supposed. Losing the bet probably wouldn't bother her that much at the moment - she was going to get paid soon enough from her client today anyway.

Coraline picked up her dealt cards, keeping her face perfectly blank. She was fairly pleased with her hand at the moment, although she frowned slightly hearing Ace mispronounce her name. That was always irritating, no matter how smooth he was talking at the moment. "Its Coraline. And hit, thank you."

Coraline eyed Ace's shadow warily - she could have sworn it had just moved. But then again, in this school, she honestly wouldn't be surprised. Figuring a game of Blackjack couldn't hurt, she pulled up a chair. Admittedly, she was also fairly curious about what a fortune telling session would yield, although she doubted its credibility. "I'm Coraline Lee, nice to meet you Ace. I'll give you a game of blackjack - that fortune sounds interesting." She rummaged around her bag, and pulled out a ten dollar note. "Shall we?"

Coraline glanced into a classroom nearby to her, which had a bunch of younger guys had wandered out of, who seemed to be complaining about losing all their money. Curious, she poked her head in, and her eyes fell upon another student, who was pulling out a deck of cards with a smirk on his face. Figuring it could help pass the time, she wandered up to the table, and folded her arms across her chest. "Hey what are playing there?" She queried, wondering if she could possibly earn a little more money than anticipated today.

Coraline woke up to the sound of her alarm clock and stretched, dangling her legs off the end of her bunk bed. Above her, a million stars lit up the forever dark skies of her dimension, just the way she liked it. She jumped off the bed, and glanced at the figure still sound asleep in the bottom bunk. She reached over and shook her sister gently, who rolled over and opened her eyes sleepily. Annabel had always been sleepy, and even here, that didn't change.

"Hey, I've gotta head to school early okay? I'll catch you a bit later." Coraline hugged her sister, who had already drifted back into sleep, and proceeded to get ready. Once she was, she shut her eyes and imagined an exit from this dimension to reality, which was conveniently located in the senior boys toilets. She stuck her head out the exit, and found herself looking at the rather astonished face of one of the senior boys. She pulled herself completely out of the mirror, and sat on the basin just below it.

"S-so you weren't joking..." The boy stammered, wide eyed. "You can really go to another dimension?"

Coraline rolled her eyes - she was used to this reaction. "Yup, what did you expect in a school like this?" She grabbed the boys hand and pulled him into the mirror. As he gazed around the dimension in awe, she explained what was going to happen. "Right, the dimension will carry out whatever fantasy that you want. Time is relative here, so while I'll leave you here for an hour in earth time, here time will slow down or speed up to ensure that whatever you want to happen will occur in exactly one earth hour. You cannot die or be injured here, although you can experience these things if you wish for it. I'll come back for you in an hour." She spun, and left the boy alone in her dimension, which started to shift into the shape of a classroom. Coraline checked the time - 7.45am - and set an alarm for an hour so she'd remember to bring the boy back. She walked out of the bathroom, and looked around, bored. What should she do for an hour? She started to wander around the school.

Red String of... Fate?

Renee opened the door to her room on the sixth floor, dumped her bag next to the door and collapsed onto her bed with a sigh. This place was surely popular - it had taken forever to get through that line. She stared up at the ceiling, and wondered what exactly she was supposed to do. Her father had suggested going travelling to 'find herself', or whatever that had meant, after she'd left the army. She understood why he'd said that - after arriving home, she'd done nothing for a few months but mull around trying to figure out what she should do with her life. After all, she'd wanted nothing more than to go serve with Bernard since she was 16 - having to decide a new course for her life after being obsessed with something for so long was going to be tough. Her thoughts turned to old memories of Bernard, but she shoved them down, hard. Her brother wouldn't have wanted her to linger on the past. With that thought, Renee jumped up off the bed. She was here now - she might as well give this whole 'finding yourself' business a shot.

She wandered out of her room, locking it behind her, and found the elevator. This place was pretty big - she figured that it wouldn't hurt to do some exploring of where she was going to be staying for a while. Renee decided that she might as well begin her exploration of the hotel from the bottom floor, and make her way up, so she pressed the button to go down, and got into the elevator.
