OOC: This has gone kinda boring now. Only Ixania & Lynion seem to still be posting.
OOC: That's because we're making interesting senarios. Why don't you think of something that could make it more interesting? Why not, all the students come back and a crazy muderer enters the ground and attempts to kill everyone? People just need something interesting to happen.

"Ohh... sorry about that, I just had a bad egg. Tell me, what are the people like here?" asked Amy as she followed him.
"The people here are mostly tolerant and goodhearted albeit we have some bad apples here who spoil the bunch if you know what I mean. The teachers are relatively the same but you show be able to handle them. Just follow me and I'll take you around before we go to the first class of the day."
Constantine led Amy around the school with a smile on his face. "Here is the auditorium where musicials and speeches are held. Then there are the dorms and the classrooms. The bathrooms are easy to find so you need not worry. If you need anything, you can rely on me. I'd be more than happy to help you."

OOC: Imperial Isa, what's with the soldiers? If you're looking for Amy, she's in Lynion.
Ebony Clarke parked her car and took in a deep breath, her first placement since leaving teaching school, her stomach was aflutter with nerves and anxiety. She checked her phone and saw a text from her best friend Cally
your man is no good, I have just seen him with Eleanor - leave him Eb
Ebony slammed her wrist into the steering wheel, she was really in a bad mood now, nerves and anger werent good, she walked boldly into the school, taking a deep breath.
'Ebony Clarke...teacher of Sociology....' she said to the receptionist who kindly showed her to her classroom.

OOC: Imperial Isa, what's with the soldiers? If you're looking for Amy, she's in Lynion.
ooc they not look for her they getting Jim things,just not had time to do them carrying a box with the flag over it
After wondering around the campus and getting lost (like usual) Phoneix found the receptionist which was where he first started. He was finally lost and now, he couldn't find his way to anywhere except the receptionist.
"Hello, Jonathan Kingston," smiled Phoneix as he entered the receptionist. "I'm a little lost could you tell me where the dorms might be? Ohh hello,"
Ebony turned and saw another new teacher.
'hey, this is a pretty big place' she said, altering her map around.
'what do you teach?'
"I know, its bigger than where I was before," replied Jonathan as he looked around. "I teach Chemistry, Physic's and Maths. What about yourself?"
The lady behind the desk showed Phoneix where he was meant to go and where the dorms where.
OOC: Fair enough Imperial Isa.
'three subjects...thats pretty heavy! I do Sociology, that in itself is enough for me' she said smiled, her teeth ivory white, her hair chocolate brown with purple highlights running through it, she wasn't skinny, just a little curvy.
"Ahhh... I don't mind it, I need the extra money so I can get my comission when I go home," smiled Phoniex as he stood tall. His eye patch across his left eye was black was alive with the odd colour dot, his brown hair was tied back in a ponytail and his teeth was a whitish colour while keeping himself very physically fit.
Ebony was small, she looked up to him, intrigued by the eye-patch but didnt mention anything.
'Plus I am living here now, I have nowhere else to go'
"Ohh...sorry," replied Phoneix. "I didn't know about that. Have you ever travelled before?" finished Phoenix as he looked up from the map to the girl before glancing at the door.

Kamarov (http://scawley.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/ocelot.jpg) stepped inside the School. He rubbed his chin and ajusted his peaked army cap, before heading over to the reception desk, a bag in one hand.
'travelled alot, but I found out that my partner has been unfaithful, so I am moving in here, I might become a student counsellor'
Misty was looking around for the student from Ustio, she never got to chat with him.
"That sucks. I...I never found someone so I just focus on my work. Right, I better be off to my dorm now I found the blasted spot. See you around I suppose then,"
Phoenix picked up the map and found where the dorms were and started for the door as he noticed a student entering the room.

'travelled alot, but I found out that my partner has been unfaithful, so I am moving in here, I might become a student counsellor'
Misty was looking around for the student from Ustio, she never got to chat with him.
Jack and Alex were outside, as ever. Jack was fixing the car, and Alex (as ever) was not helping.
Alex leaned back in the drivers seat of the Mustang, newspaper on the wheel. He leant forward on the wheel sleepily, but was briskly awoke by a loud blast from the horn, a thud and the resultant profanities
Jack emerged from the bonnet, rubbing his head
"Not boring you, am I?" he asked, leaning on the door
"Huh, oh no. Thanks for asking though" smiled Alex
Jack smiled back sarcastically
"Hey, seen this?" said Alex, showing him the headline of the paper. In bold print it read:
"WAR! USTIAN FORCES BEGIN INVASION OF RYOU BLACK ISLANDS!"
Below was a picture of the UNS King Scott leaving port
Jack read it.
"Well" he said "It was going to happen sooner or later"
'sure' she said softly, she let him leave and found her way to her classroom, she would dump her belongings at lunch.
Misty wandered out and saw the two boys sorting the car, she wolfwhistled as she ran her hand over the smooth bonnet.
'gorgeous piece of kit' she said.
'whats wrong with it?' she asked rolling her sleeves up and putting her hands on her curvy waist, she was wearing white mini shorts and a green strap top which slightly revealed her mid-drift twinkling with a belly-button bar stud.

Jack looked up
"Oh, hi Misty" he smiled at her
"Well, ever since someone crashed it" he pointed at Alex, who mouthed 'What?' back at him
Alex stuck his head out of the window "I was merely looking for the CD player"
Jack looked back at him
"Yes" he said "But you were doing 140 in the wrong lane of the freeway at the time"
He turned back to Misty
"Anyway, since then i've been trying to keep it going. But now and then something falls off or breaks"
Alex piped up again
"Speaking of which, I don't think this is supposed to happen" he said, waving the rear view mirror at Jack.

the three soldiers walk back out with a box cover in the Imperial flag
"so what his dad say"asked one
"not much an i can Hear (http://www.projectdelta.net/the_huey.htm)our ride"said another bcak to him
"can't miss the J10 h (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20Navy-Army-Air%20Forces/TheJ10Huey.jpg)uey beat"said the third looking up at the sky to find it
Misty smiled, she could see his muscles underneath his shirt and she bit her lip, she didnt know what he did to her, but she liked it, she had never had it before for anyone.
'well I grew up in a garage....if you need anything' she said, tucking her little fingers in her belt loops and resting a leg on the cars wheel arch.

Grabbing the mirror off Alex, he turned back to Misty and smiled again
"Thanks" he said to her (OOC: I was going to make a joke here about Jack calling Alex a tool or a spanner, but i decided against it)
Alex stuck his head out of the window again, a serious look on his face
"Jack" he said, pointing to the white haired man who had just stepped out of the school "What's he doing here?"
Jack turned to see who Alex was talking about. The white haired man walked closer to the car, and stopped just short of Jack.
He slowly raised his left hand to a salute. Jack quickly returned the salute, revealing a tatoo on the back of his left hand - "X-2".
The man dropped his hand to his side, and smiled
"Hello Jack" he said, his voice gruff and world weary.
"Hello Colonel" replied Jack "What are you doing here?"
"Command reassigned me here" he said, ajusting his cap
"But, don't you need written permission from the President to be reassigned from Bedivere Tower?" Jack asked him
"Yes, and he gave his permission" replied Kamarov "I'm here now, and i'm teaching Psychology"
"I'm here now, and i'm teaching Psychology"
OOC: A subject I study at college :D
Misty smiled at the Colonel, she sighed, she desperately wanted Jack to notice her, what did she have to do?
She sat down and laid on her back looking up at the clouds.

Alex stepped out of the car
"Not quite as action packed as your previous jobs, eh Colonel?"
Kamarov looked past Jack to see Alex
"Oh, it's you" he said, a wry smile crossing his face "Enjoy your time over at Intelligence?"
he shrugged "Meh, it was kind of boring"
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you" Kamarov turned back to Jack "Jack, do you mind if we take a walk?"
Jack looked nervous "Uhh, sure Colonel" he replied "Alex, keep an eye on the car"
"Eh, sure" he said, closing the bonnet and then promptly sitting on it
Jack hurried off to catch up with Kamarov
"So, what did you want to ask me?" asked Jack
"How've you been?" asked Kamarov, his tone serious
"Uh, Ok, i guess" replied Jack "Leg healed alright after a few weeks"
"And your mind?" Kamarov asked
"I didn't sleep too well in the first few weeks after the accident" he replied, unnerved by Kamarov's tone "But I'm feeling better now"
"Keep in mind this: It wasn't your fault" Kamarov said to him, not looking at him, walking straight ahead "If you think that, it'll eat away at you"
"Okay sir" Jack said to him
Kamarov stopped abruptly
"Oh, and don't call me sir" he said "I'll see you in class"
He turned and headed off to reception
Jack stood for a moment, then headed back too. As he neared the courtyard, he say Alex again
"What did he want?" asked Alex as he got closer
"Just to know how i'm feeling after the accident" said Jack "Listen, i've got something I need to do, i'll catch you later, okay?"
"Eh, sure" replied Alex "I fancy taking a walk anyway"
Jack headed off inside, and Alex headed off around the grounds, smiling at Misty as he passed her.
OOC: Background Check - Aside from his involvement in Project Abraham, Kamarov was the Psychological Officer at the Military Academy when Jack had his accident, and he got to know Jack quite well during the first week of his Rehab, before he was assigned to Bedivere Tower.
Also Fen, Jack was romantically involved with one of the people who was killed in the accident, so in character he's kinda reluctant to get involved again too quickly.
Misty returned Alex's smile, she sighed and carried on walking around, she walked around the corner and her phone buzzed, she walked straight into Alex.
'shit....sorry' she mumbled.

"Yeah, the weather's not too bad" he said. He stopped, and looked to the distance
"This weather should hold for another three or four hours" he said. He sniffed suddenly
"But, there's a storm coming. C'mon, we'd better get moving if we're going to make the best of this. I'll just tell Jack where we're going"
He pulled a phone out of his pocket with his free hand
"Just in case we need a lift back, since he won't let me drive the car again"
'oh....so should we not go swimming, the lakes only just there I can see it' she said, she smiled wickedly, she held his hand tight and pulled him down to the lake.
She slipped her shorts and small top off, she found a large rock and sat on the end of it, waiting for him.

'I have no idea....not very by the looks of it......about 9/10 feet' she said, she got up, and walked towards him, her skin was sunkissed and soft looking. She stood in front of him and took his hand.

Raskov, Aaron, Sedrick, and Kyle raced across campus. Raskov was in the lead as he always was followed by Kyle, Sedrick, and then Aaron. Kyle shouted to Raskov,"WHERE ARE WE HEADED?" Raskov smiled and yelled back,"TO THE LAKE." The athletes all ran as fast as they could to the lake not wanting to be last. Raskov skidded past the corner and onto the footpath. Aaron had overtaken Sedrick. Kyle kept on closing in on Raskov, Raskov saw the pier to the lake and put on a burst of speed. Kyle tried to keep up but Aaron was neck to neck with him. Sedrick followed close behind.
Raskov shouted,"I WIN" before doing a flip off the deck and into the water. The boys all made dives into the water. They came up seconds later. Raskov has already made it to the middle of the lake. "WHAT TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG. GET LOST UNDERWATER?" Raskov looked around, realizing there were other people he stopped shouting. He swam over to where nada and june were. Raskovs 3 friends following behind him.

He smiled at Misty "I've got to go" he said
"See you later?" he asked

She does hold the nation's original 'Royal Princess (http://www.crowndesigners.com/english/images/windsor1w.JPG)' crown however and loves to wear it at formal events. Her sister holds the 'Queen-in-Waiting (http://www.crowndesigners.com/english/images/VLADIMIR.jpg)' crown).
She is a bright, open-minded young woman, and has a very unusual interest (for a teenager) in politics and hopes to become the head of Karshkovia in the future (unlike her sister which has no love for politics). She tries to stay current on international events.
She will accept being called Natalie or Tasha but HATES Natie. Nataliya has one personality flaw that she will spend an hour or more caring for her hair.*
*Note:
In ancient Karshkovia nothing involving power was small. To that effect, a certain social peculiarity of sorts became popular because of the ruling of an ancient Queen that wanted to establish a pecking order among the female population. The rule became that the length of a woman's hair indicates her status level in society. Rules concerning this are strictly followed, even in major cities in modern times. To this effect, the length of a woman's hair is not a fashion trend; it is a badge of office. (Foreigners and non-residents are not held to this rule)
For example, in old times servant girls in Karshkovia were required to keep their hair short. Nothing past their earlobes was allowed. Today, this status is reserved for women who work minimum wage jobs or have very limited mobility in the job market. Waitresses are often a good reference to use.
Also in old times, if a woman was a librarian, small shop owner, or minor royalty she was allowed to wear her hair down to the tops of her solders but no further. Today, small business owners, profession women and minor politicians are allowed to wear their hair this length. Also, if a woman is able to trace back her heritage to royalty, she may wear her hair the length of her royal bloodline would allow.
For women who were major business owners, or high royalty, they were allowed to wear their hair down to the middle of their back. Today such women are Successful big business owners/CEOs, high politicians or can trace their royal bloodlines to ex kings and queens (or other high royal successors).
Only one woman was ever allowed to have hair that touched her waist-line or lower and that was the Queen. Now that Karshkovia did not have a monarchy, the wife of the President...the First Lady...was allowed (and expected) to have hair this length. Now that she was also the Prime Minister, it made it doubly acceptable.
That left Anastasiya and Nataliya. The sisters are not formally part of the Government in any official capacity, however they are the daughters of the 'King and Queen' per say, and because of this, they are allowed (and expected) to wear their hair between the middle of her back and their waist.
Only the 'Princess' would ever be allowed hair long enough to approach her mother's length. Since Anastasia was older, she was allowed to have her hair nearly at her waist, while Nataliya can only have her hair to the small of her back. Both of the daughters are fiercely proud of their hair.
(Women are allowed to style their hair how they want today as long as the length of their hair fits or is less than their station. Karshkovian women in general are very focused on hair care and an extremely large market for hair care products and hair fashion. Women with high status are allowed to wear their hair short, however this is a rare occurrence. On the other hand, women wearing their hair longer than their station allows are ostracized from the community, arrested and forced to have their hair cut shorter than their station would normal allow for a maximum length. They are fined large sums of money and can legally be fired or forced to resign. In some cases, a woman can be shaved bald.)

3 days before the Rebellion on Lynion
Shortly after lunch was finished a message was given to Taishi Ci who gave it to Matthew.
"We just got a tip off the pirates are going to be attacked soon, get Zora away from Lynion. Get her back to her home land on Protcol 367," whispered Taishi Ci into Matt's ear.
Matt took Zora by the hand and waved back at the group.
"You go Matty!" called out Ashley as she turned her attention to Michael.
Matthew lead Zora along the cliff tops as they found his Hunter standing by. He helped Zora climbed into the cockpit as he blucked her in correctly and looked at the computer.
"Computer...Protocol 367," said Matt as he held back a tear as he turned to Zora. "Listen to the news in days to come Zora. I'm really sorry I can't come with you..."
Matthew stepped away from the Hunter as it went into autopilot while the cockpit closed down. He started to cry as the Hunter started to take the quickest and safe path to Zora's homeland.
"...Goodbye Zora..." cried Matthew.

"You are most welcome, Amy. As for girls....I think that girls can be very appealiong to me at times but I don't have a particular girl that I pine for right now. I do find you to be quite beautiful actually.....though I hope my honesty doesn't alienate me from you."

Zora felt bitter tears coming down her reddened cheeks and felt immensely saddened that her lover had to go off to fight in a conflict. She was always praying that he would be safe and that she would one day see him again.
Matthew stepped away from the Hunter as it went into autopilot while the cockpit closed down. He started to cry as the Hunter started to take the quickest and safe path to Zora's homeland.
"...Goodbye Zora..." cried Matthew.
Zora waved to him from the Hunter and smiled. "Goodbye.....Matthew....God protect you."
"Thank you," smiled Amy. "But...I don't know if I'm really your type,"
Amy opened the door as a tentacle came out of her back and pushed the door opened as she placed her bags in the dorm.

"That's nice to hear," replied Amy as she went inside as the remaining tentacles appeared. "But really, can you understand people like me?"
"That's nice to hear," replied Amy as she went inside as the remaining tentacles appeared. "But really, can you understand people like me?"

"You sure?" Jack asked "There's a storm coming, you going to be okay to get back?"
"Oh, i'll manage" replied Alex, smiling to himself
He walked off, around to the cargo area of Vitalita Airport. As he walked around the corner, he saw a huge crate and man stood next to it. He walked up to him
"Hello Dwight" he said to him
"Yeah, hello Alex" replied Dwight
"No problems getting it here?" asked Alex
"Alex, this is me we're talking about." he said "I don't do problems"
Dwight pulled a small wallet from his pocket and handed it to Alex
"You'll be needing that" he said "It's your drivers license, amongst other things"
"Ah, lovely" said Alex taking it off him
Dwight turned around and picked up a crowbar. Jamming it between the wood panels, he prised one off. Inside was a blue Mazda RX-7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RE_Amemiya_FD.jpg), adorned with different vinyl names.
As Dwight prized off the final panel, Alex stepped up to the car.
Dwight coughed, and Alex looked over at him
Dwight dangled the keys
"Ah, of course" said Alex, catching them as Dwight threw them to him
He got in, and wound the window down
"Thanks brother" he said to Dwight
"Yeah, whatever" replied Dwight "Now get out of here"
"Sure thing bro" said Alex, starting up the car and pulling out of the cargo area, leaving Dwight standing in the rain.

A Helicopter landed near the school and the door open Andrew Rockefeller walked out meeting the Dean of Admisions
"Hello Mr.Andrew I am the Dean" he said
"Hello Sir so where is my Dorm?"Andrew asked
"I`ll take you to it" he said
OOC: OK so I guess I can just pop in...
IC:
Andrew arrived at the doorstop of the school in a beautiful Porsche, being ferried across the Pond. All hush-hush, of course. But once he went in that door, he was in the public eye. Although on private grounds.
"Are you sure, Dad?" Andrew had never wanted to go to the IST in the first place.
"You are going," Lord Gregory da Vincho said firmly. "Our email's vincho@kenavt.gov, remember (NOTE: NO SUCH ADDRESS EXISTS!!!)? And-"
"Yes, Dad. Now bye."
"Make some new friends!"
Andrew walked into the school. There was the Dean-or so he had been told. He was talking to some boy, then they walked away. The Dean came back short after. "Mr. Dean, hi. I'm Andrew da Vincho."
"Hello Master da Vincho. Do you want to see your dormitory room?"
"Yes, please."
They walked to a relatively close room and Andrew settled in. Then he walked around, saying hi to everyone he met.

"Ah, Pavlov!" Alex said with enthusiasm "I've got a book on him here somewhere"
He opened a box full of books of various shapes and sizes and rooted through untill he found a thick maroon book. He quickly flicked through and stopped at a page halfway. He cleared his throat
"Pavlov was a behaviourist" he began "So, he concluded that the human brain is a Black Box. Essentially, something that cannot be opened. So he said that we can only know what goes in and comes out"
He turned the page
"So, his theory is that some reflexes are automatic because of the stimulus in the environment. For example, if someone blows in your face, you blink, sometimes without knowing you thought to do it. But, when a stimulus comes along that you're not used to, you may not have an automatic reaction to it. So, by his theory, if you associate, say, a white rat with a scary noise a number of times, eventually the subject will become afraid ot the rat because they associate it with that noise. Essentially, you can condition someone to have certain reactions to certain stimuli"
He closed the book, and put it back in the box
"Does that -"
He was cut off by an e-mail arriving at his laptop. He checked it
"What the hell?" he whispered in disbelief

OOC: They're actually in Alex's room, in case you hadn't read the posts beforehand. Unless your character was lurking outside the room, he wouldn't have heard or seen this.
The point of this post is to a) Fulfill Feninia's IC question on Pavlov & b) start the preamble for the fact that i'll be away for a week on 1st August, so i'm getting Alex and Jack out of the Rp for 1 week. No offence meant.

RE: Jack
Hey little brother, i'm guessing you got the same message about Jack? Don't worry, i'm getting things sorted over here. I don't yet know what the new evidence is, the Justice Department is doing wonders to keep it under wraps so i'm guessing it's seriously important stuff. You and Jack should meet me at Vitalita Airport in 48 hours.
Tell Jack not to worry. They can't touch him, we all know that.

She soon parked her car in the IST, and looked in the car mirror. Her beatiful, young features were attracting, and her white long sleeved shirt was recently bought, along with her navy blue jeans and her white trianers/sneakers. She jumped out of the car, grabbed her large bag of equipment and her suitcases and started walking into the IST building.

Then his eyes widened, that's right! The new coach. He felt ecstatic, being one of the few(?) coaches on campus. Of course, his job was mostly administrative, but he still had an affinity towards the athletics department. He jogged over and greeted her.
"The new coach, right?" he asked as he slowed to a walk. "Welcome to the IST, I'm John Masden."

Comments: He is an excellent teacher.
The idea that the chance to go to a prestigious school in Vizion would be made into a birthday gift was surprising to the fifteen year old Artemisia Korben who had recieved such a gift from her parents among many others which she deemed were more expected such as DVDs and a brand new music player which she had brought with her to the school chock full of songs from top Aresian artists. She was wearing a modest light green dress with a lavish skirt and buttons that went down in a row along the front with the sleeves near the shoulders being somewhat puffed up to make it all the more adorable. It was her mother's idea to get her to wear it just once at least. Her hair was let down and she wore a little locket that contained a picture of her family around her neck. She had other clothes such as a bright red tank top but those were stashed away with the rest of her luggage. She walked inside the school and looked around to see if people were there to welcome her into the ranks of the school.
OOC: Anyone can talk/greet Artemisia here. Yes, she's single for all those who want to know. :wink:

Artemisia had seen Ana looking at her and apparently she assumed like she wanted to talk about something or perhaps just wanted to welcome her on behalf of the other students. Artemisia smiled at Ana and looked at her with a curious look. Perhaps Ana would know about how to get settled in the school?

Name: Nataliya Radchenko (nah-TAH-l'yah rad-CHAIN-ko)

Ethnicity: Caucasian
Fluent in: Karshka, Russian, English, Japanese, German, Latin
Build: Slim (looks nearly identical to her sister)
Father: President Vladimir Radchenko (http://myweb.cableone.net/bschott/president.htm)
Mother: Prime Minister Valentina Borofsky (http://myweb.cableone.net/bschott/prime%20minister.htm)
Sister: Anastasiya Radchenko (http://myweb.cableone.net/bschott/AnnaPassport.jpg) - 25 years old
Current grade level: Sophomore
Hobbies: Tennis, Swimming, Reading, Horseback Riding, Astronomy
Clubs to Join: Chess, Astronomy, Debate
Sports to Join: Horse Club, swimming team
Favorite Color: Green
Allergic to: Cats
Bodyguards: Four (4) Federal Protective Service of Karshkovia (FSO) Officers, two (2) female/two (2) male. One personal bodyguard, Svetlana Borzakov, Captain in the Presidential Guard (in charge of personal security).
Personality: Nataliya hero-worships her 25 year old sister, and likes to joke about being a 'princess' of her nation (though the royalty system was abolished over 50 years ago, and her parents are the President and the Prime Minister of the nation. She does hold the nation's original 'Royal Princess' crown however and loves to wear it at formal events. Her sister holds the 'Queen-in-Waiting' crown).
She is a bright, open-minded young woman, and has a very unusual interest (for a teenager) in politics and hopes to become the head of Karshkovia in the future (unlike her sister which has no love for politics). She tries to stay current on international events.
She will accept being called Natalie or Tasha but HATES Natie. Nataliya has one personality flaw that she will spend an hour or more caring for her hair.*
*Note:
In ancient Karshkovia nothing involving power was small. To that effect, a certain social peculiarity of sorts became popular because of the ruling of an ancient Queen that wanted to establish a pecking order among the female population. The rule became that the length of a woman's hair indicates her status level in society. Rules concerning this are strictly followed, even in major cities in modern times. To this effect, the length of a woman's hair is not a fashion trend; it is a badge of office. (Foreigners and non-residents are not held to this rule)
For example, in old times servant girls in Karshkovia were required to keep their hair short. Nothing past their earlobes was allowed. Today, this status is reserved for women who work minimum wage jobs or have very limited mobility in the job market. Waitresses are often a good reference to use.
Also in old times, if a woman was a librarian, small shop owner, or minor royalty she was allowed to wear her hair down to the tops of her solders but no further. Today, small business owners, profession women and minor politicians are allowed to wear their hair this length. Also, if a woman is able to trace back her heritage to royalty, she may wear her hair the length of her royal bloodline would allow.
For women who were major business owners, or high royalty, they were allowed to wear their hair down to the middle of their back. Today such women are Successful big business owners/CEOs, high politicians or can trace their royal bloodlines to ex kings and queens (or other high royal successors).
Only one woman was ever allowed to have hair that touched her waist-line or lower and that was the Queen. Now that Karshkovia did not have a monarchy, the wife of the President...the First Lady...was allowed (and expected) to have hair this length. Now that she was also the Prime Minister, it made it doubly acceptable.
That left Anastasiya and Nataliya. The sisters are not formally part of the Government in any official capacity, however they are the daughters of the 'King and Queen' per say, and because of this, they are allowed (and expected) to wear their hair between the middle of her back and their waist.
Only the 'Princess' would ever be allowed hair long enough to approach her mother's length. Since Anastasia was older, she was allowed to have her hair nearly at her waist, while Nataliya can only have her hair to the small of her back. Both of the daughters are fiercely proud of their hair.
(Women are allowed to style their hair how they want today as long as the length of their hair fits or is less than their station. Karshkovian women in general are very focused on hair care and an extremely large market for hair care products and hair fashion. Knowing this, expensive hair-care oriented gifts are recommended for those seeking the favor of a Karshkovian woman.
Women with high status are allowed to wear their hair short, however this is a rare occurrence. On the other hand, women wearing their hair longer than their station allows are ostracized from the community, arrested and forced to have their hair cut shorter than their station would normal allow for a maximum length. They are fined large sums of money and can legally be fired or forced to resign. In some cases, a woman can be shaved bald.)

President Vladimir Radchenko stood alone on the balcony located directly behind the large antique oak desk in the Presidential Office of the People’s Palace in the capital city of Karshkovia, Zostar. Leaning on the ancient stone railing, he took a sip from the crystal glass of the chilled Ameriana coffee while staring out over the capital city as the sun rose over the Karshka Mountains. The long shadows and orange-yellow light of the early morning sun painted the people of the city in a warm glow as they passed each other on their way to work. Some, scattered here and there, were heading to home from the various factories, restaurants, and taverns that spattered the city.
Over the last few years, outside trade, international aid, and negotiations with major international corporations had given Karshkovia a new breath of life. Nearly every aspect of the nation had been updated; roads had been repaired and repaved, new power plants and electric lines had been constructed, businesses had products to sell that people wanted, food was plentiful and the people had never been happier since the declaration of independence from the old soviet empire.
It was also a wonder to watch his children grow into young women with so many more opportunities available to them; though his oldest, Anastasiya, would never have the current opportunity he was about to give his youngest daughter. Vladimir had learned of an international school where children were being taught by the brightest teachers. They also had the opportunity to meet, interact and understand those of other nationalities. It wouldn’t be cheap tuition but his daughter's future was worth ever cent.
As he thought on this, a woman’s silky voice purred softly into Vladimir’s ear as her arms wrapped around his chest from behind. She slowly pressed her body against him in a reverse hug.
“Good Morning to you, my dove” Vladimir said as he took one of his wife’s hands and kissed it gently then turned to face her. Her lush brown, hair swirled past her waist and glowed in the early summer light while her emerald green eyes shone with fire and life.
Vladimir remembered when he had met her twenty seven years ago. He was a wet behind the ears 19 year old engineer fresh from the trade school, helping to build a new runway at the Zostar airport. Prime Minister Valentina Borofsky had been a Lieutenant Borofsky of the Russian Air Force fresh from the academy, flying co-pilot in cargo planes of various sizes. They had met by chance in a hanger and it was an instant attraction, where they had began courting shortly after. After the revolution started, Vladimir took great risks to keep her safe and hidden as she and her crew had been trapped on the ground when the fighting broke out. Despite her nationality and the fighting between his nation and hers so many years ago, she was now Valentina Radchenko, the first First Lady of Karshkovia and Prime Minister Valentina Borofsky of the Republic of Karshkovia. To him, she was simply Val…his beloved wife, friend, mother of his children and soul-mate. He loved her even more now than the day they were wed twenty-six years ago.
“You slept well, Da?” Valentina asked her husband while nuzzling her nose against the side of his neck.
“You are such a jokester but I love you anyway.” Vladimir said as he looked down at his lovely wife.
“What is this ‘love’? You said nothing of love last night, Mr. President.”
“I didn’t have time to say anything if I remember. I was fighting for my honor.”
Valentina’s eyes twinkled and she grinned, “Perhaps you didn’t fight hard enough?”
Vladimir laughed, “Didn’t fight hard enough? I feel as if I boxed ten rounds with the world champion!”
“Lyublyu tebya vsem sertsem, vsey dushoyu.” Valentina purred while smiling at her husband.
“I love you with all my heart and soul as well, my wife."
As they kissed, a girl’s voice drifted out onto the balcony
“Ahg! I didn’t need to see that! Get a room!”
Vladimir and Valentina turned to see their youngest daughter, Nataliya, standing near her father’s desk holding a military status report in front of her face as if to shield her eyes from the sight of her parents kissing. Her shockingly light blue eyes peaked over the edge of the report to see if her parents were still in their embrace. Her long red hair swirled from a breeze brought in by the late afternoon breeze.
“What is this? Your father can not kiss me anymore?” Valentina asked, teasing her daughter by giving Vladimir a quick kiss on the cheek.
“Yeah, but just don’t do it while I’m around. Please?”
Her parents laughed and walked off the balcony and into the Presidential Office, while Nataliya looked over the reports on her father’s desk.
“Dad, where’s the report from Director Lempitski of the National Space Agency? “
Vladimir sighed and shook his head, “Nataliya, how many times must I say this. Those reports are not for your eyes.”
“Dad, come on. Please? You let me see the last one.”
Vladimir looked over at his wife who simple shrugged her shoulders as if to say, It's your desk, you handle it. Sighing again, Vladimir pulled a folder marked CONFIDENTIAL from his desk and laid it in front of his daughter while looking at his wife, “A lot of help you are”. Valentina smiled and rubbed her husband’s back with her left hand.
Vladimir and his wife had a running joke between them that Nataliya probably knew more about the happenings of their nation than they did. Honestly though, they both encouraged their daughter’s interest in her homeland and while some things were still off limits, slowly she was allowed to have access to more and more documents as she proved she could keep them secret. She had a good head on her shoulders and a grasp on politics and the workings of inner government bureaucracy that surprised her parents. Her father knew from his own time in office that she was going to make a star politician one day.
“Wait, Dad, why are they pushing back the launch of the Sputnik A? The Cosmodrome is repaired and updated. All the building and facilities are in working order. What…they say they need more training time? He has had two years of training! He is too timid! There is no reason to wait another year.”
“I’ll tell him you said that,” Vladimir said dryly, “Seeing as you think launching a sixty million ruble satellite from a new facility with an untested mission control crew will be an easy task to complete, perhaps we should name you as the new Director, eh?”
Nataliya laughed at her father’s teasing and handed the report back to him, “Promises, promises, daddy. Someday I’ll be the Director…just after I get to walk in space.”
Vladimir shook his head, “We spoke on this already. You are not becoming a cosmonaut. I am not going to let my daughter strap herself to a rocket and risk being killed in a million different ways.”
Nataliya’s blue eye’s flashed and she set her jaw in anger, “But if I was a son, you would allow me to serve in the Air Force and then command a rocket crew. Mom was in the military, you were both in the revolution! You are not treating me fairly!”
Valentina placed a hand on her husband’s shoulder before he retorted, “Alright you two. We can speak on this later. Right now, I think it is time we see you off to the Airport.”
Nataliya’s anger faded and she looked up at her mother in resignation, “Honestly, do I have to go? I like my tutors and I don’t want to only see you a few times a year.”
Vladimir nodded, acknowledging his daughter’s concerns, “We both understand that, and we promise that if you want to come home on the weekends, we will arrange to fly you home however I think that you are going to make many friends there and with so many activities, you may not want to come home after a while. Besides, you have said over and over you want my job one day. Well this school will let you meet other children who will be future leaders and politicians in their countries as well. Wouldn’t it make being President easier if you were to make friendships now with those children? Wouldn’t it help you to understand them later if you were to know them now?”
Nataliya sighed but then nodded, “You are right, as you always are….well almost always are. I will be a cosmonaut and later President.” She gave her parents a grin and bolted out of the Office towards her room.
Vladimir just shook his head and looked at the ceiling while muttering for the Creator to grant him sanity.
An hour later, Nataliya was buckled in her plush seat aboard the new Government-owned Gulfstream G550. Ten minutes before she had said her goodbyes to her parents and boarded the aircraft with her friend and Personal Bodyguard, Captain Svetlana Borzakov of the Karshkovian Presidential Guard and four FSO officers. The Federal Protective Service officers were not familiar to her and seemed all business as they sat in the far corners of the aircraft, leaving her and Svetlana sitting near the middle.
“Are you excited, Nataliya?”, Svetlana asked her young charge.
Svetlana had been assigned to Nataliya for 15 years now and she guarded the girl as if Nataliya was her own child. Svetlana was 35 years old and a veteran of the revolutionary war. She had personally protected Nataliya’s mother during those hard times and proven her loyalty many times over, saving Vladimir’s and Valentina’s lives more than once. When Nataliya had been born, Valentina specifically requested that Svetlana be entrusted to guard the youngest daughter of the First Couple as she was the only one they trusted to do the job properly.
Svetlana was 180cm tall, 65.8 Kilograms in weight with short blond hair and dark blue eyes. She had an athletic body and a pretty face that was almost always was set in a serious look. The only mar on her completion was the light scar that ran from just under her right eye diagonally down her left cheek to her jaw line. It had been made by a fragmentation grenade during the war though she rarely spoke on the subject. Nataliya found it remarkable that while Svetlana was allowed to wear her hair down to the middle of her back, she wore it short as if she were a lowly factory worker. It made sense that as her duties as a body guard she would want shorter hair for practical reasons, but still…it was a badge of honor that Svetlana didn’t wear.
“Oh, I guess I am. No…I am, really. I’m just nervous, right?”
Svetlana patted Nataliya on the shoulder, “It is expected that you would be nervous but not to worry, you have me as a friend and you will be safe from any dangers. Besides, you will make friends quickly and soon you will not be nervous.”
Nataliya accepted this with a nod and smile, “It’s going to be exciting that we are leaving Karshkovia in the morning and in just a few hours we will be landing during the early evening in ViZion.”
The flight was uneventful and when they landed in ViZion, noticed storm clouds growing in the distance. A limo was waiting for them and after it had been checked over by the four FSO officers, Nataliya sat in the car while the four officers packed the luggage into the trunk and Svetlana stood guard by the limo with an AKS. After the final piece was loaded, one officer sat up front with the driver while the other three and Svetlana sat in the rear with Nataliya. One of the female officers handed Nataliya a sealed wooden box with intricate designs carved into it.
“I believe you would want to have this with you, Miss Radchenko”
Nataliya smiled and thanked the woman. Inside the well aged box was the ancient Karshkovian Royal Princess crown. It dated back over 500 years to when the original crown had been lost at sea with a Royal Princess bound for her wedding with a Prince in land far to the south. While Karshkovia had abandoned the Monarchy system over 50 years ago, the people still saw the President as a King, the Prime Minister as a Queen and their daughters as the Princesses.
Both Vladimir and Valentina wanted nothing to do with those titles and donated the King and Queen crowns to the National History Museum, both daughters would wear their crowns to formal events and some public ceremonies. Both were well behaved and respectful young women that were everything the people of Karskovia believed a princess should be. Though Anastasiya held the “Queen in Waiting” crown and wore it on occasion when she was in Karshkovia, she saw it more as a duty and had remarked she was thinking of also donating it to the National Museum. Nataliya saw her crown as just that, a symbol of her destiny and the responsibly to be the best she could be. In her own mind, there was no doubt she was the future leader of Karshkovia and thus its princess.
The crown itself was elegant and yet radiated power. It was encrusted with over thirteen hundred diamonds of various size, shapes and cuts, all bound on sterling silver and appraised at over 330 million rubles. It wasn’t light, and Nataliya needed to wear a thinly padded velvet band so the crown would fit snugly on her head. Despite this, the crown literally shimmered in the light since all the diamonds had been cut for maximum brilliance, and she personally liked how the diamonds would pick up the coloring of her red hair, adding a fire-like look to the crown. She had taken it with her, as was Karshkovian custom, and she hoped she would be able to wear it to a formal dance. As she daydreamed about the last Presidential party she had been to, the car drove on through the city to her new school.
After checking in with Administration and adding the information of her guards and Svetlana to the approved persons list, Nataliya decided to walk to her dorm, which really wasn’t that far and the rain hadn’t started yet. After sitting for so long in the airplane and the car, she wanted to stretch her legs a bit. She was wearing a comfortable pair of blue jeans, a good pair of sneakers, and a blue short-sleeved shirt, perfect for a quick jog to the dorms but since the rain clouds had started to come closer, the temperature had started to drop.
Retrieving a green wind breaker jacket from her luggage, Nataliya zipped it up, and sent the limo ahead to her dorm with the four FSO officers. She just wanted to have a jog and Svetlana was enough company for her. As she stretched, she felt her nervousness lessen. There weren’t that many others around and the campus seemed to be fairly nice so far. She pulled her long nearly waist length red hair into a pony tail and secured it with a scrunchy green hair band while looking at Svetlana, “Ready?”
Svetlana chuckled, “Always, Moya printsessa”
Nataliya grinned and started the trek to her dorm, her long red hair drifting behind her in the breeze, Svetlana keeping pace beside her.
ooc: I cut about 3 pages off of this intro down to what I thought was somewhat reasonable...sorry for the length. It's kinda my style. Anyway, I debated if I should read all of the posts or start fresh, and decided to start posting without knowledge of previous RP...so I would be able to post Nataliya's reactions without any previous posts clouding how I would have her react.

Ooc: closest I could find on the net to what Nataliya would look like (http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/PHT/PHT330/young-red-haired-woman_~PAA330000041.jpg)
Nataliya and Svetlana approached the dorms together and though Nataliya wanted to keep jogging off the hours spent in the aircraft, the rain had just started to trickle down. She removed the jacket and handed it to Svetlana, then took the green hair band out; letting her red hair flow freely behind her.
As they walked into the student dorms Nataliya greeted a boy on his way out of the dorms and as they past each other she smiled and waved, “ Dobry vecher! Uvidimsia!”. She had no idea who he was but she felt so good after the run it felt like the right thing to do. On her way up to the second floor, she smiled and waved at other male and female students in the dorm; some were walking in the halls, some in small common areas and others just had the door to their rooms open.
On the second level, Nataliya saw two of the FSO officers standing outside the door of a dorm room, her room she guessed. The luggage wasn’t unpacked but that was understandable, they wouldn’t have assumed to go through her things anyway. The room wasn’t large as it had two bunk beds and a desk in between them on the far wall. A closet was built by the door and a small sink with mirror was set opposite the closet.
“Well, what do you think?” Svetlana asked her young charge in russian, “Can you live here for the next few years?”
Nataliya rolled her eyes, “Svetlana, you act as though I haven’t had a small bedroom before. Father wasn’t always President, and I still remember my room in our house in the country.”
“He should have been President from the start of the revolution” Svetlana muttered under her breath. She was of the firm belief that until Vladimir had taken power, the country literally was letting itself fall apart and the politicians were just fighting over the tiny scraps of what was left.
“What? I didn’t hear you.” Natailya looked up at her friend and bodyguard.
“Nothing, I was just saying to myself that I remember that from my youth as well. Anyway, what do you think?”
Natalia looked over the room again, “I don’t like the bunk beds as they are. It feels cramped and it is just you and I staying here so…”
“Well, how about this idea...” Svetlana sat down on one of the bags of luggage and described her brainstorm to Natalia, who’s eyes lit up brightly.
“YES! Perfect! We can send two of the FSO officers into town to get what we need… the shops should be open yet, and we can start the work of unpacking.”
About three hours after she had arrived, Natalia was putting the final touches on her and Svetlana’s door room. While Natalia and Svetlana arranged the room, the FSO officers had bought a small pile of goods and made many trips through the halls bringing the items to the room.
As students would pass by her open door, they would see that the pair had taken the bottom bunk out of the bunk-set on the right side and the top bunk off of the set on the left. A small refrigerator filled with fruit, pop and juices had been placed under the bunk on the right in the corner near the sink and a small TV was placed on top of the refrigerator. A medium-sized dresser was placed next to the refrigerator. This was stuffed full of canned goods, dry cereals, junk food and ramen noodles. Natalia loved ramen noodles. On top of the dresser was a small boom-box. One dresser drawer had been stuffed full of DVDs and CDs.
A hammock hung diagonally under that bed as well, and a thick, soft rug was placed over the cold tile floor. Lots of brightly colored throw pillows were propped against the wall from the refrigerator back to the corner of the room and then along the wall to the desk. A large green beanbag chair sat against the opposite bed frame from the refrigerator/tv stand.
Pink and blue flex-tube lights were strung against the bottom of the top bunk, lighting up the little area under the bed that now resembled a very comfortable and homey retreat. Natalia had taped a large poster of the Karska Mountains against the wall in her little retreat and then to finish, she had placed a privacy curtain (a green cloth shower curtain cut in half, height-wise and strung up on an adjustable shower pole.) so when she wished to stay up or wished to be alone, she could pull the curtain across and close her little area off from the rest of the room.
A large International White Cross poster, featuring Natalia’s sister, was hung on the door of the closet. Svetlana’s side of the room was fairly plain however that is how she wished it, though she had conceded to Natalia’s demands to have posters from the Karshkovian Air Force, Navy and Army hung over her bed.
The two laptop computers were on the desk between the beds as well as the books Natalia would need for her classes. Her saddle was stored in the closet with care and all of her clothes had been stored away. The old wood box with her crown was placed on the desk, though she was going to take that into the local bank and have it put in a secured lock box; Probably tomorrow if she had time. Pictures of her family were hung above the desk on either side of the window. A set of royal green window curtains were now hung on the window, which was open to let the cool and moist air in as it gently rained away from her window.
Svetlana had left Natalia in her room alone as she went down the hall to use the woman’s restroom. The FSO officers had decided on a rotating guard shift where one would always be guarding the door to her room 24 hours a day, whether she was in the room or not and another would help Svetlana guard Natalia whenever she was out. For tonight, however, Natalia had dismissed the FSO officers to attend to getting their own room arranged and their luggage unpacked. Natalia assumed they had a separate building somewhere on campus they were housed at, probably with other guards.
Natalia had turned off the overhead light and just left the flex-tube string lights under the lofted bed on creating a nice warm glow which illuminated its way into the hallway. She lay in the hammock swinging back and forth slowly, smiling as “Such Great Heights” from the The Postal Service album Give Up played softly on the boom box.
ooc: for reference, I actually had a set up similar to this in my college dorm though both my roommate and I had lofted our beds and created our own retreats. Our room became really popular with the others on our floor, though as guys, we opted for more masculine coloring than I had Nataliya go with here.
