"Hey there Soar. It's nice to meet you. I'm your advisor, Jack Henski. Welcome to the International School for Teens. I'll be showing you two to your dorms and then taking you on a tour of the campus. Soar, this is Juliet. And Juliet, as Mary mentioned, this is Soar. Now, let's head out." he said, opening the door for the two.

"Okay. So we are going to the dorms first?" Soar asked as he followed Jack though the door. He had to admit. Even if he didn't like the school it did seem nice. Okay. Not just nice. Really nice, but still I don't like it here. Well... I guess if this school is okay then I can try to like it. It's not like I can't join the Allied States Air Force later when I'm older. He thought to himself as the small group walked. Hopefully the student aren't a bunch of idiots or worst. Complete dumb asses.

At the same time, David Davis walked over to Steven Preston, "And you're Steven Preston, right? My name is David Davis. Kinda strange, I know." he said, chuckling to himself, "Anyway, I'm your advisor, and I'd like to welcome you to ViZion and the International School for Teens! Let's get ya checked in." he said.

"Thanks, I've been looking forward to coming here. I've never been overseas before, but from what my dad's told me and what I've seen in the airport ViZion seems pretty cool," Steven said. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to somebody. This is Spike, my hedgehog," he said, producing a cage with a small European hedgehog in it, looking around at the new sights. "I got him for my birthday last year and he's gone everywhere I go since then. So, what comes first? I want to meet some people and get acquainted with my school," he said.

OOC: can i still enroll?

IC:
Rae Trueman unpacked her things into her locker, she didnt know where to go, her light brown hair was in long pigtails and her face was tanned with little freckles over the bridge of her nose, she wore a pink baby doll top and some white tight cropped trousers with blue shoes.

Ingram was curious "excuse me, who's my roommate?" he asked, tapping his advisor on the shoulder

OOC: can someone play with me....im bored....and ill....:(

"Okay. So we are going to the dorms first?" Soar asked as he followed Jack though the door. He had to admit. Even if he didn't like the school it did seem nice. Okay. Not just nice. Really nice, but still I don't like it here. Well... I guess if this school is okay then I can try to like it. It's not like I can't join the Allied States Air Force later when I'm older. He thought to himself as the small group walked. Hopefully the student aren't a bunch of idiots or worst. Complete dumb asses.
"So, what's your guys backgrounds? And is this your first trip to ViZion, Soar? This is Juliet's first trip here. he said as they walked towards the stairs.

"Thanks, I've been looking forward to coming here. I've never been overseas before, but from what my dad's told me and what I've seen in the airport ViZion seems pretty cool," Steven said.

"No problem. Ya, I think ViZion is pretty cool myself, but then again, I'm a proud ViZionarian." David said laughing. He then looked at the hedgehog, "He looks pretty spiky. How old is he?" David asked Steven.

"So, what's your guys backgrounds? And is this your first trip to ViZion, Soar? This is Juliet's first trip here. he said as they walked towards the stairs.

"My father is a Green Hawk elite Air Force helicopter pilot and my mother is second in command of the entire Green Hawk Special Operations Police. Me, I went to Vulcan Middle School before this and if you want to know I'm trying to become a pilot like my father. My mom wants me to be a doctor though," Soar chuckled. He was still surprised his mother and father get along so well. One (his father) is more of an action before words and his mother was a ask questions and then take action type of person. He believed he was more like his father. Shoot first, ask questions later was Soar's motto.

"Yes, this is my first time here in ViZion."

IC:
One of the staff members, George Tie, was walking down the hall. He saw the girl, who looked confused, standing there.

"Hi there. You look lost. Can I help you? Oh, and I'm George, by the way. I work in the office. What's your name?" he asked.

Ingram was curious "excuse me, who's my roommate?" he asked, tapping his advisor on the shoulder
Cliff turned around, "That information I actually do not have. When we're finished, you can check with Mary in the front office. She will have that information. So, how excited are you about this school year?" he asked Ingram as they continued towards the dorm.

"My father is a Green Hawk elite Air Force helicopter pilot and my mother is second in command of the entire Green Hawk Special Operations Police.

"Yes, this is my first time here in ViZion."
"A pilot, huh? That'd be quite fun. There's actually some outstanding flight schools in ViZion for anyone over the age of 14. That may be something you could check out in a trimester or two from now." Jack said, smiling. "And your first time to ViZion, huh? Well, I bet you anything, you're going to have lots of fun. There's so much to do in ViZion, and tons of culture. I've never had a student I've worked with not enjoy there time here in ViZion. Just so much activity of all sorts, the people are always so nice, and there's tons to learn."

"Okay. Also, how hot and how cold does it get here? In Green Hawk it is always cold and I'm use to that. If it gets to hot in ViZion I might have a heat stroke," Soar laughed slightly, but what he said was true. Most people from Green Hawk who lived in warm areas outside of Green Hawk usually had a heat stroke or two in their early years there. Okay, three to four is a better guess, but this was mostly in really warm places.

"I wouldn't worry about it though. It rarely happens and it only happens in very warm areas."

Cliff turned around, "That information I actually do not have. When we're finished, you can check with Mary in the front office. She will have that information. So, how excited are you about this school year?" he asked Ingram as they continued towards the dorm.

"quite exited, i'm hoping to aeronautics lessons and possibly flying courses" he said "i'll be right back, i have to find out who my roommate is" Ingram rushed off to the desk "exuse me Mary, do you know who my roommate is?"

"No problem. Ya, I think ViZion is pretty cool myself, but then again, I'm a proud ViZionarian." David said laughing. He then looked at the hedgehog, "He looks pretty spiky. How old is he?" David asked Steven.

"I got him when he was just a baby, so he's about a year old," Steve replied. "So, what's the campus like? And who will I be rooming with? I have a ton of questions but I'll save some for later."

"quite exited, i'm hoping to aeronautics lessons and possibly flying courses" he said "i'll be right back, i have to find out who my roommate is" Ingram rushed off to the desk "exuse me Mary, do you know who my roommate is?"

OOC-sorry, i forgot to log out on my colony

"I wouldn't worry about it though. It rarely happens and it only happens in very warm areas."
Jack wasn't sure rather he was serious or not, but laughed slightly. "It's pretty comfortable here along the coast. It gets very hot when you go inland, though. But 70-80 degrees fahrenheit is common during the summer, while 60-70 degrees fahrenheit is pretty common in the winter." he said.

"quite exited, i'm hoping to aeronautics lessons and possibly flying courses" he said "i'll be right back, i have to find out who my roommate is" Ingram rushed off to the desk "exuse me Mary, do you know who my roommate is?"
"Well hi there Ingram, where's Cliff at?" she asked while looking into her book to find his roommate.

"Ahh, here we go... your roommate is John Arnold. He just signed in about the same time you did. He may be up there already. Or on his way." she said, smiling.

"I got him when he was just a baby, so he's about a year old," Steve replied. "So, what's the campus like? And who will I be rooming with? I have a ton of questions but I'll save some for later."
"How long do they usually live? I don't know much about those little guys." David said. "As for your roommate, I'm not sure. Mary in the office can tell you that. Let's get you to your dorm then you can go check if you'd like." he said.

"How long do they usually live? I don't know much about those little guys." David said. "As for your roommate, I'm not sure. Mary in the office can tell you that. Let's get you to your dorm then you can go check if you'd like." he said.

"The guide I got with him says they live about 5 years but it's common for them to live up to seven, so I'm going to have him for awhile. I'd like to check in and get acquainted with the campus if that's alright."

"Well hi there Ingram, where's Cliff at?" she asked while looking into her book to find his roommate.

"Ahh, here we go... your roommate is John Arnold. He just signed in about the same time you did. He may be up there already. Or on his way." she said, smiling.

"thanks Mary" he said. Ingram started to walk over to John "hey, wait up!" he yelled, finally caching up

"thanks Mary" he said. Ingram started to walk over to John "hey, wait up!" he yelled, finally caching up

John smiled and said "Hello Ingram, I believe we can put our differences aside, I apologize if I've even hinted at dislike of Cazelia, I am willing to be your roommate..."

OOC: Ryan? What? I thought it was Peter?
IC:
Jeff walked down the hall slowly, letting the boy take it in, as he saw the boy was quite interested. As they exited the hall and into a large circular room with the grand staircase, Jeff began, "This is the center of the entire building. Built over 300 years ago, it's also about the oldest part of the building as well. It's remained unchanged except to keep it up and in shape." he said. The walls were golden, with actual gold as part of the wall. The staircase was made of granit, the railings made of solid oak, and massive, dome-like window above.

OOC: Sorry, corrected it.


IC: Peter stopped observing his surroundings briefly and aksed, "Who will my roommate be?"

"The guide I got with him says they live about 5 years but it's common for them to live up to seven, so I'm going to have him for awhile. I'd like to check in and get acquainted with the campus if that's alright."
"Of course!" said David. "Let's get you checked in over here." he said, walking while point towards the office.

As they walked into the office, Mary looked up. "Mary, this is Steve to check in." David said. Mary filled out a couple lines on a sheet of paper before handing it to Steve. "Here you go Steve. I just need a signature and date and you're set. Welcome to the International School for Teens!" he said.

OOC: Sorry, corrected it.


IC: Peter stopped observing his surroundings briefly and aksed, "Who will my roommate be?"
"Your roommate? You mean you actually wanna have someone to hang out with at nights? Dang, you kids are always wanting SOMETHING." he said, laughing. "Honestly, I know you have a roommate, I'm just not sure. Mary can answer that. You can go check with her if you want now and I'll wait in the main hall outside the office." Jeff said with a smile.

Cliff and Matt watched the two meet up. "Ahh, there we go. This is perfect. The way it's meant to be here at the IST." Cliff said. "Yip." Matt responded, "Now we can watch for more students." he said, as they walked outside onto the sun-bathed lusty green grass.

OOC: still looking for a dean?

"Of course!" said David. "Let's get you checked in over here." he said, walking while point towards the office.

As they walked into the office, Mary looked up. "Mary, this is Steve to check in." David said. Mary filled out a couple lines on a sheet of paper before handing it to Steve. "Here you go Steve. I just need a signature and date and you're set. Welcome to the International School for Teens!" he said.
Steve read and quickly signed the papers. "Alright, now that that's over with, what do we do now?," he asked.

John smiled and said "Hello Ingram, I believe we can put our differences aside, I apologize if I've even hinted at dislike of Cazelia, I am willing to be your roommate..."

"yeah, i guess so" said Ingram "so, did you bring anything fun? i brought risk and Axis and allies: pacific" he said

OOC: still looking for a dean?
OOC: Just like it says, yes.

Steve read and quickly signed the papers. "Alright, now that that's over with, what do we do now?," he asked.
"Well, let's get you to your dorm so you can unpack. From there, I can give you a tour of the campus." said David.

"Sounds good to me. One thing though, these forms didn't say who I'd be rooming with. When do I find that out?" Steve quickly unpacked his clothes and things and hung them neatly in the closet. He also pulled out his PS3 and began hooking it up to the television. He was going to enjoy his time here, he just knew it.

Jack wasn't sure rather he was serious or not, but laughed slightly. "It's pretty comfortable here along the coast. It gets very hot when you go inland, though. But 70-80 degrees fahrenheit is common during the summer, while 60-70 degrees fahrenheit is pretty common in the winter." he said.

"Then I guess everything will be okay then. Soooo...... What do we do now?" Soar asked as he sifted his bookbag to get a little more comfortable. He was sightly bored, but he washed away his boredom when he thought up a new question to ask Jack.

"What about classes?" He wanted to know as to what classes he would take, when and where. He wasn't excited about taking classes, but he still has to take them. Like I said before. He doesn't have to like going to this school, but he does have to deal with it.

ViZion, have I missed anything in particular? Sorry for my absence, was dealing with some non-NS stuff.

"Sounds good to me. One thing though, these forms didn't say who I'd be rooming with. When do I find that out?" Steve quickly unpacked his clothes and things and hung them neatly in the closet. He also pulled out his PS3 and began hooking it up to the television. He was going to enjoy his time here, he just knew it.
"Well steven, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like there's a suitecase under that other bed. It looks like whoever your roommate is, he was in here already. Mary will have that information down in the office though." David said.

ViZion, have I missed anything in particular? Sorry for my absence, was dealing with some non-NS stuff.

OOC: Right now you're walking along w/ me and Soars from Green Hawk :) So look for the convo's between me and Green Hawk and there were a couple questions to you I believe.

"So, what's your guys backgrounds? And is this your first trip to ViZion, Soar? This is Juliet's first trip here. he said as they walked towards the stairs.

"My father is a Member of Parliament in Myakka, my mother's a schoolteacher. I attended a school back in Myakka, but my parents wanted me to "broaden my horizons" and signed me up for this school here in ViZion. I hope to have a good time here, since I am going to be here for quite some time."

"Very nice. With your mother being a teacher, I'm sure she kept on you about your homework, yes?" Jack said with a little chuckle.

"Very nice. With your mother being a teacher, I'm sure she kept on you about your homework, yes?" Jack said with a little chuckle.

"Yes, she did keep on me with my homework and she helped me if I ever needed help with my assignments." Juliet said as they walked in response to Jack's question.

"Yes, she did keep on me with my homework and she helped me if I ever needed help with my assignments." Juliet said as they walked in response to Jack's question.
"Are you into any particular sports? And what are you looking at focusing on for your education? Politics? Economics? What?" Jack asked.

"Are you into any particular sports? And what are you looking at focusing on for your education? Politics? Economics? What?" Jack asked.

"Do you do horseback riding at this school? As for my education, I am hoping to gain a mix of things, such as the subjects you mentioned...if that is possible here." Juliet replied.

"Do you do horseback riding at this school? As for my education, I am hoping to gain a mix of things, such as the subjects you mentioned...if that is possible here." Juliet replied.
"We don't have that as an official sport. However, I believe there is a small horseback riding club here. I believe. If not, you can start one and advertise it around the school." Jack said. "And, yes, you can do a mix of different subjects here."

"We don't have that as an official sport. However, I believe there is a small horseback riding club here. I believe. If not, you can start one and advertise it around the school." Jack said. "And, yes, you can do a mix of different subjects here."

"That is alright, I can do other sports as well, but I was hoping for equestrian sports, perhaps polo. Also, I would like to do a mix of different subjects here."

OOC: Where's the nearest helipad?

OOC: Where's the nearest helipad?
Vitalita Int'l Airport. There really aren't any else besides military and news and our Government ones in the area.

"That is alright, I can do other sports as well, but I was hoping for equestrian sports, perhaps polo. Also, I would like to do a mix of different subjects here."
"Well, we do not have any official sports like that. But, do feel free to start a club around any sports that we do not have." he said.

Jack lead the two new students up the stairs towards the dorms.

"Well, we do not have any official sports like that. But, do feel free to start a club around any sports that we do not have." he said.

Jack lead the two new students up the stairs towards the dorms.

"What sports does this school have?" Juliet asked as they neared the dorms.

"What sports does this school have?" Juliet asked as they neared the dorms.
"We offer sports such as baseball, basketball, football, futbol, softball, surfing, ice hockey, and a few others. We view sports as a very important part of life. Sports is huge in ViZion." he said. "Are sports such as this a large part of your culture?" he asked.

"We offer sports such as baseball, basketball, football, futbol, softball, surfing, ice hockey, and a few others. We view sports as a very important part of life. Sports is huge in ViZion." he said. "Are sports such as this a large part of your culture?" he asked.

"There are people in my nation who enjoy sports. In the past, I played soccer and won several awards and trophies. I do not mind playing sports, but I do not know if I would be an athlete when I am older."

"There are people in my nation who enjoy sports. In the past, I played soccer and won several awards and trophies. I do not mind playing sports, but I do not know if I would be an athlete when I am older."
"Who says you will be an athlete when your older? I'm an advisor, and I played sports of all sorts when I was your age." he said, smiling. "Your dorm is down this hall." he said, walking down the hall to her dorm.

"Who says you will be an athlete when your older? I'm an advisor, and I played sports of all sorts when I was your age." he said, smiling. "Your dorm is down this hall." he said, walking down the hall to her dorm.

"I meant a professional athlete." Juliet said before they found her dorm. "I will think about joining a sports team here, but thank you for the tour and for finding me my dorm." Juliet said before going inside her dorm.

"I meant a professional athlete." Juliet said before they found her dorm. "I will think about joining a sports team here, but thank you for the tour and for finding me my dorm." Juliet said before going inside her dorm.
"You welcome. When you want, I can show you around the campus more. Welcome to the International School for Teens again!"

"Well, I've unpacked my things. I'd like to see the campus and meet my roommate so I can get a feel of what my school looks like and who I'll be making friends with," Steven said. Well, so far so good, and at least I don't have those pesky Praetorian Guards hovering around me 24/7 like back home. Maybe now I'll be able to actually make some normal friends and maybe get a girlfriend, Steven thought to himself. His father had insisted on having members of the Praetorian Guard, the President's official security force, watching his son any time he went out. As a result, his only friends were the children of his father's friends, and girlfriends were almost nonexistent even though all the teen magazines rated him the cutest teen celebrity. Any girls who took a liking to him were usually too intimidated by his posse to come back. Well, that's all going to change, Steven thought with a smile.

"You welcome. When you want, I can show you around the campus more. Welcome to the International School for Teens again!"

"Before you go, do I have a room-mate, or is that optional?" Juliet asked curiously.

"Before you go, do I have a room-mate, or is that optional?" Juliet asked curiously.
"I am not sure if you have a roommate, however I do believe you do. Would you prefer not having one?" he asked.

"Well, I've unpacked my things. I'd like to see the campus and meet my roommate so I can get a feel of what my school looks like and who I'll be making friends with," Steven said.

"Would you like me to take you on a tour, or are you wanting to explore on your own? Also, Mary will let you know who your roommate is if you want to know now instead of waiting." he said.

"I'd like to take a guided tour if that's alright, knowing my luck I'd get lost on my own," Steve replied. "And yes, I would like to know who I'll have as roommate please," he continued, directing his last statement to Mary at the front desk.

"I'd like to take a guided tour if that's alright, knowing my luck I'd get lost on my own," Steve replied. "And yes, I would like to know who I'll have as roommate please," he continued, directing his last statement to Mary at the front desk.
"Alright, we will begin once she gets you that information." David said.

Mary was looking at her book. It took her a minute to find Steve's roommate.

"Alright, Steve... it looks like you're rooming with... (mumbles) lets see here... Ahh, here we go, you'll be rooming with Peter. he said, then looking up with a smile.

"There you go, Steve." said David. "So, you ready for the tour?" he asked.

"Sounds good to me, I haven't met Peter yet but I'm looking forward to it. Now, I would like to see the campus, I hear it's rather large and rather old, but that's about all I know."

"I am not sure if you have a roommate, however I do believe you do. Would you prefer not having one?" he asked.

"I would like to have my own dorm if possible." Juliet said. "I do not mean to be rude in asking for that."

"Sounds good to me, I haven't met Peter yet but I'm looking forward to it. Now, I would like to see the campus, I hear it's rather large and rather old, but that's about all I know."
David thanked Mary, then said "Well, he's probably also being given a tour of the campus. And, yes, it is quite large and old, although not as old as our original campus in ViZion City." he said, then standing there in silence for a couple seconds, deep in thought, before coming to again. "But, you're here. So," he said, begining to walk out into the main hall, "Out here is our main hall. It was build over 300 years ago, along with the circular room where the grand staircase rises. These floors, these walls... they're all original. The only work done is the addition of electicity and water, along with keeping it up to par so it remains looking good and remaining unharmed." David said.

"I would like to have my own dorm if possible." Juliet said. "I do not mean to be rude in asking for that."
"That's fine. Let's go talk to Mary, find out if there for sure is another person in here. If there is, we'll have to moved to another room of your own. Sound like a plan, Juliet?" Jack asked.

The move to Vitalita still weighed a bit heavy on the mind of the 52 year old Marcus Delgadillo. The gray haired teacher who had dedicated his life to economics and political science stopped his car within the parking lot of this school and got out. Although he had known that once the Aztec government had made him their candidate to teach at this school for nearly a year now, it seemed more real than ever. Although it was a major honor to be selected for such a task, it was a major disruption. Still, in his mind, there were many other ways to make a living that were worse.

Marcus walked into the school’s main entrance, taking a look at some of the students. They were much different than the students back at home, although there were some differences. However, he regained his thoughts and continued walking on, looking for the main office.

After finding the office, Delgadillo put his briefcase down in a chair and walked up to the receptionist. Politely, he said “Hello, I’m here for an appointment with the school’s administration regarding a teaching position here. My name is Delgadillo, Marcus.”

A fifteen year old boy walked somewhat uncomfortably towards his new school. It should be noted, however, the Jorge Chavez’s apprehension wasn’t about being sent to a rather elite school. Rather, it was at his insistence that he be sent to a school where few would know that his father was the Speaker of the High Soviet Congress, Christopher Chavez. He wanted away from the annoying questions about his father’s political ambitions – everyone knew that he would become the Tlatoani should the current one choose to end his reign. No questions about his own political ambitions, as he didn’t have any. To the boy’s mind, he rather spend time playing sports or playing the bass guitar, not debating the constitutionality of law or the effectiveness of policy.

No, the apprehension was a similar experience to most students entering a new school. Trying to believe that there weren’t AIA agents watching over his every move, he maintained his pace and walked into the main building, curious about what this would be like. He made his way to the advisor’s office and after checking in, took a seat, waiting for the advisor to come out.

I was reading some of the earliest stuff and I noticed that you absouletly do not allow guns whatsoever, you know if you allowed guns violence rates would go down. This is because if trouble makers think that anyone who they even mightconsider bullying has a gun then they won't bully them. Also unless this is a school for complete thugs then there will be more rule abiding students then not so gun problems shouldn't be an issue because the non rule abiding people will carry guns anyway if they are determined to, so now you have a whole school full of defenseless people and one person bound to kill, it's a recipie for disaster! However, I know where you are coming from, it being a K-12 school and all. An alternative is to require the staff to carry and be trained in some kind of firearm.

"Well, hello there Delgandillo. I am Mary. It's nice to meet you." she said with her trademark smile.

"Now, I suppose you want to know where to go and who to see, right?" she asked.

He wanted away from the annoying questions about his father’s political ambitions – everyone knew that he would become the Tlatoani should the current one choose to end his reign. No questions about his own political ambitions, as he didn’t have any. To the boy’s mind, he rather spend time playing sports or playing the bass guitar, not debating the constitutionality of law or the effectiveness of policy.

No, the apprehension was a similar experience to most students entering a new school. Trying to believe that there weren’t AIA agents watching over his every move, he maintained his pace and walked into the main building, curious about what this would be like. He made his way to the advisor’s office and after checking in, took a seat, waiting for the advisor to come out.
Cliff was walking by the Advisors office, and just happened to glance in the room, seeing a boy as he sat down. He stopped and entered the room.

"What are you doing in here?" Cliff asked. "What's your name? I'm Cliff Riggs, an advisor here." he said.

I was reading some of the earliest stuff and I noticed that you absouletly do not allow guns whatsoever, you know if you allowed guns violence rates would go down. This is because if trouble makers think that anyone who they even mightconsider bullying has a gun then they won't bully them. Also unless this is a school for complete thugs then there will be more rule abiding students then not so gun problems shouldn't be an issue because the non rule abiding people will carry guns anyway if they are determined to, so now you have a whole school full of defenseless people and one person bound to kill, it's a recipie for disaster! However, I know where you are coming from, it being a K-12 school and all. An alternative is to require the staff to carry and be trained in some kind of firearm.
OOC: is that out of character or in character?

Glad to see that things so far seemed good, Marcus smiled and said “That would be great.”

He felt a bit more excited now about the prospects of a job. Marcus hoped that he would have the opportunity to discuss some of his work in political theory and economics. Although regarded as a rather good educator and academic at home, he was hoping his new peers would hold him in similar regard.

~=~=~=~

Jorge looked up to Cliff Riggs and said “Yes, I’m a newly enrolled student here and I was wondering how to get involved with some of the activities like sports and such at the school." He continued on, "I have my papers and visa stuff in my bag if you need them." After a second, he also asked “I was also curious if you could point me to where the housing is.”

Although he knew in his mind that advisors like Cliff would receive many questions like this over their tenure as advisors, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy about being a “newbie” to the school. Also in his mind was the fact that he was the first Aztec sent to a school like this - most students within the ANL spent the entirety of their academic careers within the ANL.

"Well, let me call up the Dean of Faculty so he can meet with you about your job." she said.

After a couple of minutes, he stepped out. "Hello, Mr. Delgadillo. It is nice to meet you. Come on back into my office." he said.

"Well, Jorge, I guess this is fate, as I am assigned to work with you." he said, reaching his hand out to shake the boys hand.

"And that's exactly what I'm here for. To show you around, tell you about the school, help you find your dorm, and get into the activities you're interested in getting involved with." he paused for a second before continuing, "You seem a little uneasy. First time here in ViZion?" he asked.

OOC: Yes, as can everyone else...

IC:
One of the staff members, George Tie, was walking down the hall. He saw the girl, who looked confused, standing there.

"Hi there. You look lost. Can I help you? Oh, and I'm George, by the way. I work in the office. What's your name?" he asked.

'hi, Yeah, my parents just dropped me off, I don't know what I am doing....my name is Rae Trueman' she said with a thick sparklesun accent (similar to irish kinda)

Rae saw other girls who looked pretty and she sighed, she didnt wear make-up or have fancy clothes, she was a natural country girl.

"yeah, i guess so" said Ingram "so, did you bring anything fun? i brought risk and Axis and allies: pacific" he said

John smiled as he unpacked his Playstation 3, and Blazing Angels, Guitar Hero III, and amazingly enough,his Mac Pro, Quad 3.0 Xeon 8 Core processor, and a monitor, and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.." He smiled as Ingram looked amazed at his haul..

"what, are you superman or something? that looks heavy!" he said, pointing to the luggage "i also brought my favorite book, Black Star it's about a fictional nation known as China stealing a stealth fighter from another nation known as the USA" he said "it's really long"

Rae decided to leave George and wander, she knew her parents had registered her. She saw lots of people, she wanted to make some friends, it would make her more comfortable and less homesick...

"what, are you superman or something? that looks heavy!" he said, pointing to the luggage "i also brought my favorite book, Black Star it's about a fictional nation known as China stealing a stealth fighter from another nation known as the USA" he said "it's really long"

John grinned and brought out his electric guitar and amp, and said "I bought a movie and book called "Red Flag!", which was about a communist revolution in Calizorinstan, that was put down by my godfather, John Macked, and how he raided suspected communist bunkers.." He brought out the movie, which had a image of a man breaking a Hammer and Sickle in his bare hand and showed Ingram..

"impressive" said Ingram "i didnt know there was a communist revoloution in your nation" he said with inquiry "there has only been one revoloution in my country and that was when my father was the President" he said "fucking Londinian shot him. when i got the news, i vowed vengance upon the man who did it" Ingram said sadly "it's hard to lose your father"

"impressive" said Ingram "i didnt know there was a communist revoloution in your nation" he said with inquiry "there has only been one revoloution in my country and that was when my father was the President" he said "fucking Londinian shot him. when i got the news, i vowed vengance upon the man who did it" Ingram said sadly "it's hard to lose your father"

John raised his eyebrow and said "For a man to shoot another, the other must have done something to shoot him, frankly I bet that Lord Voldemort would have provided a better enemy for your father..." He looked dark and said to Ingram "If your father was good, I don't doubt it, but would he split his soul to be immortal?, that's what Voldemort did..."

Rae went for a wander around the dorms, she saw a door slightly open and she heard two boys talking. next to their room was a big window, she looked out, it was so beautiful here.....

John raised his eyebrow and said "For a man to shoot another, the other must have done something to shoot him, frankly I bet that Lord Voldemort would have provided a better enemy for your father..." He looked dark and said to Ingram "If your father was good, I don't doubt it, but would he split his soul to be immortal?, that's what Voldemort did..."

"i bet Voldemort would have" said Ingram

John smiled at Ingram and said "Hold on, there's a young lady who just walked past..." He walked out and said to the young lady "Hello, my name's John Arnold, a pleasure to meet you..."

"i bet Voldemort would have" said Ingram

John smiled and said "He did, I would like to fight against Voldemort, a more worthy advesary then the Londinians, I understand your hatred for them, 3 Khilistani's beheaded my mother when I was 8, I vowed revenge, and I personally shot them that killed my mother when I was 15..., odd how fate works..." John brought out his Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince book he was reading..

Rae took a deep breath and knocked on the door where she heard the talking, she needed to know where her room was....

John opened it and saw the young lady he had met earlier and said "Hello, what do you wish to talk to us about?" She was pretty he admitted in his head, no two ways about it..

John smiled at Ingram and said "Hold on, there's a young lady who just walked past..." He walked out and said to the young lady "Hello, my name's John Arnold, a pleasure to meet you..."

'Hi my name is Rae' she said a little nervously.
'I am not interupting anything am i?' she asked, she let out her famous golden smile.
'I am lost...and....wow....a guitar....my dad taught me how to play...being from the country and all!'

'Hi my name is Rae' she said a little nervously.
'I am not interupting anything am i?' she asked, she let out her famous golden smile.
'I am lost...and....wow....a guitar....my dad taught me how to play...being from the country and all!'

John shook his head and said "You can come in for a little bit, I think there's a map of the dorm room's in here somplace.., what songs can you play Rae?, it's an electric, but I have an acoustic setting on my amp.." He pointed to his carvin 820 battery operated amp and Fender Stratocaster..

'I mean you don't have to.....you have your friend here...I can play and sing too, I use to play at the saloon in my town, she got the guitar and played a song close to her heart

Now she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairytales
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind

When I'm sad she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me, free
'It's alright, it's alright she says'
Take anything you want from me,
Anything...


Fly on Little Wing...

She sang her eyes were like a pool of diamonds glistening the sun, her skin seemed to shine golden, she glanced at John and blushed.

'my mother sang this to me before I left...'

She sang her eyes were like a pool of diamonds glistening the sun, her skin seemed to shine golden, she glanced at John and blushed.

'my mother sang this to me before I left...'

John smiled and said "I like it, do you recognize this song?" He picked his guitar up and started playing Freebird, turned the distortion up a tad and sang "
If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?, I must be traveling on now, there's just too many places I gotta see, if I stay here with you girl things just couldn't be the same, I must be traveling on now, lord help me I can't chayayayange..." He did the solo G, B flat, C chords, and then finsihed with a G, and he grinned and said "What did you think of that Rae?"

'thats beautiful, is it about a girl you like?' she asked, she sat next to him looking around and smiling.

'thats beautiful, is it about a girl you like?' she asked, she sat next to him looking around and smiling.

John shrugged and shook his head and said "No, it wasn't written by me, it was written by Lynard Skynard, but here's one I've written.." He picked up his guitar and sang "Hang on, there's a Khilistani at the door, I hope it isn't true, but he's got a gun trained on me, he demands that I release his country from bondage, but I say "No way" (Here he turns on the dirty effect on his effect pedal), I pull out my gun, and he pulls out his, we've got a nice mexican standoff going, yeah, you have to listen what he says, yeah!, anyhow, 2 hours later we are stil gun to gun, toe to toe, and he yells "Why cannot you see that Khilistan has the rights to this land!", and I say evenly "You are attempting to use the Chewbacca Defense, it won't work here...", he fires his gun, and I fire mine, I black out, but when I awake, no sign of his body.., I conlude he has fled, and thus Calizorinstan saves the day, I contact the CIA (Calizorinstan Intelliegence Agency), who say "What you've heard is all hearsay, there's no Khilistani's in you neighborhood..", Hurrah!"

John finished and said "I wrote the song chords/power chords, and lyrics, and I made 6 million dollars off of it so far, it's callled "Khilistani Problems.." He smiled at Rae..

'thats interesting' she said, she moved closer to him.

'thats alot of money, i use to get a few dollar tips from people at the saloon...never that much' she said.

'thats interesting' she said, she moved closer to him.

'thats alot of money, i use to get a few dollar tips from people at the saloon...never that much' she said.

John smiled and said "That's because I'm in a band, and signed with CMI, a record label company, and my music's on iTunes.."

OOC: What color is Rae's hair and eyes, out of curiousity..

OOC: her hair is light brown and her eyes and bright blue....

IC:
'thats good, your music is unique, I can understand why people buy it' she said.

'you have something on your nose' she said, wiping a stray hair from his nose, her skin was soft.

"hey John, i'm gonna ask Mary if she can be our roommate" he said, rushing out the door "hey Mary, John asks if it would be okay to have a third roommate"

"hey John, i'm gonna ask Mary if she can be our roommate" he said, rushing out the door "hey Mary, John asks if it would be okay to have a third roommate"

Rae looked at Ingram, and she looked down.
'I guess he doesnt then....' she said, she got up.
'I guess i had better go, he doesn't want me around'

"hey John, i'm gonna ask Mary if she can be our roommate" he said, rushing out the door "hey Mary, John asks if it would be okay to have a third roommate"
"Unfortunately, no. However, if you guys want, we can setup that third person to be next door. How's that?" Mary responded.

can i still enroll?
OOC: yes

Rae looked at Ingram, and she looked down.
'I guess he doesnt then....' she said, she got up.

Matt Holliday, an advisor, was walking by the room when the girl popped out.

"Hey there. How are you?" Matt asked.

'hi, yeah I am fine thanks, Rae Trueman...are you a member of staff? my sister is coming to teach here, she should be here soon' she said, she was still a little down after Johns friend blatently tried to shift her out.

'hi, yeah I am fine thanks, Rae Trueman...are you a member of staff? my sister is coming to teach here, she should be here soon' she said, she was still a little down after Johns friend blatently tried to shift her out.
"Yes, I'm an advisor. I'm Matt Holliday. What's your name?" Matt asked. Seeing that was a little sad, he asked "Are you alright? You seen a little bit unhappy."

'Its nothing, i miss my mom' she said.
'Im going to unpack my things *her phone beeps* ahhh my sister is here, I am sure she will be keen to meet you'

Alice was standing nervously in the reception. she had jet black straight hair and wore a white shirt with a knee length checked skirt with little black shoes, she had applied a small amount of make up, but she didnt need it. She checked her watch a little anxiously.

Rae looked at Ingram, and she looked down.
'I guess he doesnt then....' she said, she got up.
'I guess i had better go, he doesn't want me around'

"Mary is the person at the front desk" said Ingram "i was asking if you wanted to be our roommate" he said "sorry if i insulted you"

'oh sorry, I must have heard you wrong' Rae said. Turning red.
'Did you hear me play the guitar earlier?' she asked walking back into the room.

'Its nothing, i miss my mom' she said.
'Im going to unpack my things *her phone beeps* ahhh my sister is here, I am sure she will be keen to meet you'
"Alright. Is this your first time in ViZion? Also, let's go to the office to get you checked in and then get you to your dorm." Matt said.

Alice was standing nervously in the reception. she had jet black straight hair and wore a white shirt with a knee length checked skirt with little black shoes, she had applied a small amount of make up, but she didnt need it. She checked her watch a little anxiously.
Mary looked up as Alice walked in the door. "Well, hi there." Mary said, smiling. "And how may I help you?"

'hi yes....my names Alice Trueman, I am suppose to be meetin an advsior, my sister is here to..Rae?' she said with a big smile showing perfect teeth.

'OK, you can meet my sister, shes pretty' Rae said smiling, she tottered down the stairs and saw her sister, she ran up to her and hugged her.

'I need to get registered' Rae said to Alice.

'OK, behave yourself' she said, she saw Matt and smiled.
'Is she being good? my names Alice Trueman...the new Geog teacher' she said extending a slim hand.

'oh sorry, I must have heard you wrong' Rae said. Turning red.
'Did you hear me play the guitar earlier?' she asked walking back into the room.

"in a matter of fact, yes i did. very impressive" said Ingram "unfortunantly, Mary informed me you cant be our roommate. fortunantly, you can be next door" he pointed at the room "i didnt ask who your roommate is, but if you want to know, ask Mary"

OOC: ill pretend he said that before she got turfed to registration lol...

"well, i have to eat, see ya" said Ingram running off to the cafiteria

"That's fine. Let's go talk to Mary, find out if there for sure is another person in here. If there is, we'll have to moved to another room of your own. Sound like a plan, Juliet?" Jack asked.

"I do not mind a room-mate actually. If I am to have one, then I will share my room with them, at my previous school I had a dorm by myself, but I am thinking I will share a dorm here instead of having one by myself." Juliet said, deciding to change her mind.

'hi yes....my names Alice Trueman, I am suppose to be meetin an advsior, my sister is here to..Rae?' she said with a big smile showing perfect teeth.

'OK, you can meet my sister, shes pretty' Rae said smiling, she tottered down the stairs and saw her sister, she ran up to her and hugged her.

'I need to get registered' Rae said to Alice.

'OK, behave yourself' she said, she saw Matt and smiled.
'Is she being good? my names Alice Trueman...the new Geog teacher' she said extending a slim hand.
"Hi Alice, I'm Matt. Your sister is behaving. We just need to have her sign in with Mary and then get her to her dorm." Matt said. "And you're a new teacher you say? Well welcome to the family!" he said, shaking her hand.

Mary filled out a couple on lines before handing the paper to Rae, "Here you go, I'll just need you to sign and date." she said.

"I do not mind a room-mate actually. If I am to have one, then I will share my room with them, at my previous school I had a dorm by myself, but I am thinking I will share a dorm here instead of having one by myself." Juliet said, deciding to change her mind.
"Well," David said, "It's up to you. Either way, let's go talk to Mary and find out if you do have a roommate." he said.

"Well," David said, "It's up to you. Either way, let's go talk to Mary and find out if you do have a roommate." he said.

"I think I will have a room-mate, let's go see who it shall be." Juliet said as they walked back to the reception area to talk to Mary. Juliet wondered about her room-mate, "who would it be?" she thought.

"I think I will have a room-mate, let's go see who it shall be." Juliet said as they walked back to the reception area to talk to Mary. Juliet wondered about her room-mate, "who would it be?" she thought.
As the two walked into the office, David asked, "Mary, does Juliet have a roommate? If so, who?"

Mary looked through her book, "Well, Juliet... your room is setup as just you for the time being. However, that girl over there," pointing to Rae, talking to her advise Matt and her sister, Alice, "Just got a room and also does not have a roommate. If the two of you would like to, I can put you two together." Mary said.

'or because your good looking?' she said, feeling very brave.
'even if I am not your room mate, we can hang out, you'll have to come to my room' she said.

John smiled and said "Why thank you, you're good looking too, I'd love to hang out with you, you're the first lady I've met at this school.."

OOC: Any way I could send two unrelated people? I think I could spice it up with 'em. If it's just one, that's cool as well.

Would anyone like to interact with my character? I thought I could get her knowing more of her classmates.

IC:

Dwayne Peterson Jr. was the epitome of what the student majority heading to the IST were not-bold, cocky, physically gifted, and academically average. He wasn't a standout student, no walking brain, no global spelling bee champion. He was, however, similar in one fact-he came from a high lineage. He was the sole son of the leader of Amazonian Emperor Kyp Droma's personal defensive force, the Sovereign Guard-an elite squad of crack soldiers capable enough to knock down an entire army on their own. However, he wasn't a military kid.
When Dwayne Sr. had asked his son about ambitions, Dwayne Jr.-D2 as he called himself-had simply responded "football" and went back to watching the Talasea Panthers pro basketball game on the TV. Sr's response had been simple: "Well...make sure you bust some ass while you're at it."
Peterson had little doubt like so many prep studs did-unlike them, he was the best, period. A star runningback at De La Sol Academy in the Imperial capital of Necropolis, he had run for astounding records for the Spartans-2,340 years in his Sophmore season alone, and Peterson, now entering his Junior year, was tough and physical for a 17-year old-and more than all, fast. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds, best on the team and one of the tops in the nation at his position. He also anchored De La Sol's 4x100 relay team on the track and field squad and ran the 100 meter dash in 10.32 seconds. Besides that, he was physically a phenom-6'0, 203lb with dark skin, short flat-top hair, and muscles bulging out of his skin. Able to bench 400lb, more than able to take on the school's wrestlers in a one-on-one fight...he was the big-shot on the campus of 2,200 high-schoolers-and universities across the Dominion were all over the prep football star, vying to put up the best recruiting. He was living a life greater than most high school students-one of stardom.
In the classroom, D2 was simply just another guy. He sat in the back of each class, toying with the hair of the girls in front of him in Chemistry, finding the ideal position to sleep in geometry, opening yet another recruiting message wishing him "best of luck in the game against Iglesia Highlands" from Nova Oceana State Univeristy in World History. He maintained a 2.3 GPA average-good enough to stay on the football team, as he had no Fs on his slate. But Peterson simply didn't care about academics-while most of De La Sol's student body was struggling through high school to vie for top colleges in academics, Dwayne had it made-he was a guarentee, a lock.
When Dwayne Sr. said he was sending Dwayne overseas for a year to some international academy for teens, D2 initially was outraged. Half of the overseas countries didn't even play football-and for a stud prep star, this wasn't good. However, after his father showed him the school supported his sport-Dwayne saw something else. Sr. had talked the idea to Necropolis University head coach Marty Stoudamire, who had said something else-competing against international talent, the best of the best of the world, at a similar level to what D2 was able to produce would boost his stock even higher. Instant college playing time. Likely immediate start. The inside track to the Rice Trophy, the Dominion's award for the best college player. Track to the pros, the money, dating the top models...the good stuff.
The only question to Peterson? Where do I sign?
It was that that had Peterson traveling across the seas from the Dominion's islands towards ViZion to pursue this new career for at least a year. A year he wasn't a Spartan at De La Sol-but perhaps more.


On the other side of the political spectrum was Lauren Winters. Unlike Dwayne, Lauren was highly gifted academically, socially, and physically-a well-rounded girl, but her physical prowess was nowhere near matching D2's. However, she knew her stuff-the clear-cut favorite for valedictorian at Northwestern High in the federal capital of Amazonia, the homecoming princess the following year as a sophmore, seemingly everybody's friend-and to top it off, the daughter of the Amazonian Chancellor. This put her in a situation-the Chancellor, Rick Winters, was in a struggle of sorts against the Emperor for power, as the Senate continually passed legislation that the Imperial government continually went around. She was potentially in danger in Amazonia-part of the reason that Winters was sending her overseas to a private elite academy in ViZion.
For a 16-year old entering her junior year, Lauren was nothing short of astounding-5'6, 115lb, with medium-length brown hair she wore tied back in a ponytail, brown eyes, light complexion, and a warm attitude about most things. She was open, social, and friendly-not somebody who usually put people off. She had scored a near-perfect score on the sophmore standardized testing in the Dominion-off by 3 points-and was a three-way athlete, competing in field hockey, basketball, and softball. She was good enough for small-time athletic schools to look her direction, but they knew they had no chance-her academics, and background, were dictating the attention of the prestigious academic and political universities, such as Capital U in Amazonia. She seemed bound for a future in politics, big business, something in the spotlight.


On the flight over the ocean towards ViZion, she noticed the sleeping black athlete in the empty row across-easily standing out. The entire nation was Dwayne-crazy-everyone knew the star runningback's name, possibly a high-school Junior with even a more prestigious name than Lauren. His name was everywhere on the Sports and Entertainment News Center-SENC, carrying 24 hours a day sports coverage. These days, the off-season for both basketball and football in the Dominion, Amazonia's two largest sports, SENC constantly showed Dwayne's name-where would he be headed, would he commit before his senior year, how everyone was looking for him. They totally ignored the incoming class, the upcoming seniors. Lauren, personally, cared little-she liked sports, but she wasn't crazy about them.
Dwayne awoke with tired eyes, wiping sleep out of them and taking a look towards Lauren.

"Damn, you hot," he said. So much for introductions.

"Hi..." Lauren said, sheepishly. That wasn't the usual way she met people for the first time. Obviously, Dwayne was of a different caliber-a lot seperated the mentality at Northwestern to that at De La Sol.

"F'real," Peterson said, sitting up and spitting on the window seat to his left. "Who you anyway?"

"Lauren Winters," she said, forcing a smile. "I'm going to the International School for Teens in ViZion."

Peterson's eyes popped. Gorgeous women on his way, too. "Damn, that's where I headed."

Crap, Lauren thought-and she usually didn't cuss, even in her thoughts. So much for avoiding this guy for long. "Really...how...nice."

"Yeah, yo," Dwayne said. "I mean, like, I don't know who you are and nuthin', but like, we unify," he motioned with his hands. "I mean, we gotta go and own this place."

"Uh, own it?" Lauren asked. The guy's speech wasn't great either.

"Hell yeah," Peterson said. "I mean, I'm football-I am football. I gonna show the whole muthaf*ckin' world what it's all about, y'know?" Dwayne spun his finger in the air, a la the Ickey Shuffle. "What'chu goin' for?"

"My dad's sending me to learn more about international culture and affairs," Lauren said diplomatically, "I'm trying to get as much as I can about others and make new friends for the future."

Oh, so THAT's who you are, b*tch, thought Dwayne. He thought he had recognized her. "You dad the president?"

"Yeah," Lauren said, color flushing her face.

"Man, he needs to do some sh*t about the cops, man, I got 3 tickets already. Just let us race already," Peterson said. "I'yain't even hit nuthin' yet, and I got cops all ova my a**."

Great, a convicted criminal at it, Winters thought. "Well, we need the police to avoid our society falling down and to protect people...and traffic law is essential to that."

"Sh*t, I like, didn't catch nunuhthat," Dwayne said. "But'chu tell you daddy to do that next time you on you phone with him."

The constant curses of Dwayne's talk were getting to Lauren, but she was determined to make her point, "I don't dictate what my dad does, he's the Chancellor, not me."

"Yeah, whateva," Peterson said. Damn annoyin' b*tch, at that, even if she hot. "I'm goin' back to sleep, wake me when we there, k?"

With that, Peterson extended his three seats all the way back to the empty row behind him, making an exaggerated flop and spreading all over the row.

I come across the ocean to deal with This? Lauren thought privately, but she was mannered enough not to say anything.

As she thumbed through a magazine article on foreign affairs regarding the actions of Cazelia-an interesting topic to her-Dwayne's cell phone began going off.

"OH MY F*CKIN' GAWD," Peterson said, sitting up with a mock start. "ALWAYS!"

Dwayne looked at the phone for a second before turning to Lauren, "See, they want to give me even more sh*t. Like it?"

He hit the talk: "Hey coach T," -Coach Thurman Mitchell of the Polus State University- "I'm on the plane. Man, they don't even got refills here. Can't believe it. No, man, I had to get to the airport at like, 6 AM, crazy man. I'm lookin' forward to provin' I'm the best there is in the world if that's what'chu mean, yeah. Yeah, I believe it. Just gotta show y'all. I'm gonna say 2,450 yards this season, 30 touchdowns. I betcha can get it. Yeah, it was great y'know, meetin' with Big Mack and him showin' me 'round you campus and you stadium-damn that's big. We got like, 14 thousand in ours, and yous can hold-what'd he say, like 100 thousand? Damn! I don't know, that's pretty cool, but y'know, I can't say nuthin' definate yet, I gotta go put up my season first and show y'all. Yeah, man, latah."

Dwayne set down the phone, smiling overzealously to Lauren, "Y'know, they love me. They give me whateva I want. They love you like 'dat?"

"Kingston's asking, and so is Youngstown," Lauren said neutrally.

"Damn, all them fancy schools? Jeez," Dwayne responded, a spit ball flying from his mouth and landing near Lauren. "You oneuh them smart kids?"

"I have a 4.2 GPA currently," Winters replied.

"Holy sh*t, man," Dwayne said. "That's like 'dem A's and all. Whateva, y'know? I just go through the motions. I live for 'da games, all 'dem people lookin'. That's school."

The flight droned on uneventfully, mostly with Dwayne boasting about this stat and that, how he and Austin Yates had gone 1-2 in the high school state 100 meters championship, how his room was full of recruiting letters, and how he had beaten down De La Sol's resident "Bad m*thaf*cka". Lauren honestly didn't care-as much as she liked to meet new people, especially important people, Dwayne seemed one of those kids who she didn't like-the ones who thought the universe revolved around them. Peterson was certainly talking it up-if nothing more, De La Sol seemed to revolve around him.

"Cr*p man, we ova LAND," Peterson said as the plane was preparing to set down-after the plane had been over land for a good half-hour. "Make you prayers that we don't crash man," he dramatized to Lauren, before making a mock call up to the pilot's enclosed cockpit, "Hey man, ouwah LIVES on the line, yo...I gotta make it out for practice, wheneva that is. Don't screw 'dis!"

Lauren rolled her eyes, and the plane came down smoothly. Dwayne did a dance in the aisle as it taxied, playing as if the landing was a miracle. Lauren diagnosed it as a condition for needing attention-but who could help these people, they were bathed in it by recruiters and the like.

The ride to the IST had some great scenery for Winters's first visit to ViZion-but like the plane ride, Dwayne was talkin' it up about his own things.

"Man, they NEVAH gonna see what's comin'," Peterson said, "When I hit that field, man, it's ovah. Endzone. Score. Y'know it."

Lauren ground her teeth in annoyance. She had tried to be patient, but Peterson's only attention to her had been that "she was hot."

"Man, where you get 'dem legs, y'know?" Peterson said. "I mean, you like hot all ovah. I swear, you like a cheerleader or somethin'? Prom Queen?"

"I play basketball..." Lauren said, eying him.

"Will you marry me?" Dwayne mocked, holding out his pinkey finger.

"I think that's a little early," Lauren replied.

Dwayne just laughed. "Man, you gotta lighten up. I'll see what I can do wit' 'dat, y'know? I'll get you hooked up wit' some of my crib when we through this."

As the ride moved on-it was an hour from the airport to the school-Dwayne, bored, started rapping: "They say I'm a balla', but I say no, They say what'cha doin, I say I let 'em go, I just let tha' music come from my soul, so all my people can stay on tha flo..."

Lauren musically was a country fan-and though Dwayne was doing a pretty good imitation of the Dominion's hip-hop stars, it wasn't Winters's taste. She said nothing, not looking for a confrontation, but simply hoped the ride would end soon.

Her wish was granted in good time-the IST rolled up soon enough, with Dwayne finally ceasing his imitations of Q-Tip and others.

"Damn man, that's bigga than my hood," he said. "Time to show 'em who I am!"

Lauren got out of the SUV they rode in, slinging one of her bags over her shoulder and carrying the other two. Dwayne carried three of his in one hand, the other carrying a massive sports bag bulging from this end and that-overpacked with pads, helmet, track spikes, and more.

"You can come in aftah me, y'know?" Peterson said over his shoulder, easily carrying all his things, while Lauren struggled with her three bags. He pushed the door open with one hand, holding it open for the girl while he smiled, "Y'know, you betta be thankin' me for all this...I'm open every night. Frutopia, smoked blueberry, mix it wit' the purple and call it cranberry."

These kids and their corrupted minds, Lauren thought. No wonder today's society was degenerating. The front to the school was wide open-enough for Dwayne's voice to echo with resonance.

"Man, where do I sign?" Peterson said loudly, his voice penetrating through the school's frontal corridors.

OOC: What does Juliet look like?

"Hopefully we will get along nicely if we are roommates, and I am from Myakka."

OOC- yeah, Ingram has brown hair, and red eyes

IC
"Myakka, eh?" he said "i've heard it's a nice country" "unfortunantly my country is occupied by Londinian bastards, they kill innocent people by blending them alive" he said angrily "i wish they were all dead"

OOC: I read the front page that said "as many as you want", so never mind the question, I'll send two.

Myakka, I'd be glad to once my two get in the door here (goes for others too...I'm trying to develop more the social kids here).

IC:

Dwayne Peterson Jr. was the epitome of what the student majority heading to the IST were not-bold, cocky, physically gifted, and academically average. He wasn't a standout student, no walking brain, no global spelling bee champion. He was, however, similar in one fact-he came from a high lineage. He was the sole son of the leader of Amazonian Emperor Kyp Droma's personal defensive force, the Sovereign Guard-an elite squad of crack soldiers capable enough to knock down an entire army on their own. However, he wasn't a military kid.
When Dwayne Sr. had asked his son about ambitions, Dwayne Jr.-D2 as he called himself-had simply responded "football" and went back to watching the Talasea Panthers pro basketball game on the TV. Sr's response had been simple: "Well...make sure you bust some ass while you're at it."
Peterson had little doubt like so many prep studs did-unlike them, he was the best, period. A star runningback at De La Sol Academy in the Imperial capital of Necropolis, he had run for astounding records for the Spartans-2,340 years in his Sophmore season alone, and Peterson, now entering his Junior year, was tough and physical for a 17-year old-and more than all, fast. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds, best on the team and one of the tops in the nation at his position. He also anchored De La Sol's 4x100 relay team on the track and field squad and ran the 100 meter dash in 10.32 seconds. Besides that, he was physically a phenom-6'0, 203lb with dark skin, short flat-top hair, and muscles bulging out of his skin. Able to bench 400lb, more than able to take on the school's wrestlers in a one-on-one fight...he was the big-shot on the campus of 2,200 high-schoolers-and universities across the Dominion were all over the prep football star, vying to put up the best recruiting. He was living a life greater than most high school students-one of stardom.
In the classroom, D2 was simply just another guy. He sat in the back of each class, toying with the hair of the girls in front of him in Chemistry, finding the ideal position to sleep in geometry, opening yet another recruiting message wishing him "best of luck in the game against Iglesia Highlands" from Nova Oceana State Univeristy in World History. He maintained a 2.3 GPA average-good enough to stay on the football team, as he had no Fs on his slate. But Peterson simply didn't care about academics-while most of De La Sol's student body was struggling through high school to vie for top colleges in academics, Dwayne had it made-he was a guarentee, a lock.
When Dwayne Sr. said he was sending Dwayne overseas for a year to some international academy for teens, D2 initially was outraged. Half of the overseas countries didn't even play football-and for a stud prep star, this wasn't good. However, after his father showed him the school supported his sport-Dwayne saw something else. Sr. had talked the idea to Necropolis University head coach Marty Stoudamire, who had said something else-competing against international talent, the best of the best of the world, at a similar level to what D2 was able to produce would boost his stock even higher. Instant college playing time. Likely immediate start. The inside track to the Rice Trophy, the Dominion's award for the best college player. Track to the pros, the money, dating the top models...the good stuff.
The only question to Peterson? Where do I sign?
It was that that had Peterson traveling across the seas from the Dominion's islands towards ViZion to pursue this new career for at least a year. A year he wasn't a Spartan at De La Sol-but perhaps more.


On the other side of the political spectrum was Lauren Winters. Unlike Dwayne, Lauren was highly gifted academically, socially, and physically-a well-rounded girl, but her physical prowess was nowhere near matching D2's. However, she knew her stuff-the clear-cut favorite for valedictorian at Northwestern High in the federal capital of Amazonia, the homecoming princess the following year as a sophmore, seemingly everybody's friend-and to top it off, the daughter of the Amazonian Chancellor. This put her in a situation-the Chancellor, Rick Winters, was in a struggle of sorts against the Emperor for power, as the Senate continually passed legislation that the Imperial government continually went around. She was potentially in danger in Amazonia-part of the reason that Winters was sending her overseas to a private elite academy in ViZion.
For a 16-year old entering her junior year, Lauren was nothing short of astounding-5'6, 115lb, with medium-length brown hair she wore tied back in a ponytail, brown eyes, light complexion, and a warm attitude about most things. She was open, social, and friendly-not somebody who usually put people off. She had scored a near-perfect score on the sophmore standardized testing in the Dominion-off by 3 points-and was a three-way athlete, competing in field hockey, basketball, and softball. She was good enough for small-time athletic schools to look her direction, but they knew they had no chance-her academics, and background, were dictating the attention of the prestigious academic and political universities, such as Capital U in Amazonia. She seemed bound for a future in politics, big business, something in the spotlight.


On the flight over the ocean towards ViZion, she noticed the sleeping black athlete in the empty row across-easily standing out. The entire nation was Dwayne-crazy-everyone knew the star runningback's name, possibly a high-school Junior with even a more prestigious name than Lauren. His name was everywhere on the Sports and Entertainment News Center-SENC, carrying 24 hours a day sports coverage. These days, the off-season for both basketball and football in the Dominion, Amazonia's two largest sports, SENC constantly showed Dwayne's name-where would he be headed, would he commit before his senior year, how everyone was looking for him. They totally ignored the incoming class, the upcoming seniors. Lauren, personally, cared little-she liked sports, but she wasn't crazy about them.
Dwayne awoke with tired eyes, wiping sleep out of them and taking a look towards Lauren.

"Damn, you hot," he said. So much for introductions.

"Hi..." Lauren said, sheepishly. That wasn't the usual way she met people for the first time. Obviously, Dwayne was of a different caliber-a lot seperated the mentality at Northwestern to that at De La Sol.

"Yeah, yo," Dwayne said. "I mean, like, I don't know who you are and nuthin', but like, we unify," he motioned with his hands. "I mean, we gotta go and own this place."

"Uh, own it?" Lauren asked. The guy's speech wasn't great either.

"Hell yeah," Peterson said. "I mean, I'm football-I am football. I gonna show the whole muthaf*ckin' world what it's all about, y'know?" Dwayne spun his finger in the air, a la the Ickey Shuffle. "What'chu goin' for?"

"My dad's sending me to learn more about international culture and affairs," Lauren said diplomatically, "I'm trying to get as much as I can about others and make new friends for the future."

"Yeah," Lauren said, color flushing her face.

Rick Cheer was walking down the stairs when he heard the kid talking loudly. He walked upto the two,

"Hey, welcome to the International School for Teens!" he said excitedly to the two, shaking both of their hands. "Would you like some help with those bags?" he asked Lauren.

"And in the office right over here, Mary will get you signed in." he said to the two.

"Myakka is a nice nation." Juliet said. "They blend innocent people alive?" Juliet said a bit amazed.

"yes, just yesterday i got the news they blended a 16 year old girl alive and conciuos before force feeding her blended remains to her parents" Ingram said quite disgusted "and when my father made a deal-his life for no occupation, they killed him and invaded anyways. so i vowed to kill the man who did it" he said angrily "they have no right to commit these atrocities"

One of the facility members approached Ingram Hasley,

"Ingram Hasley?" he asked.

The tour concluded and Steve returned to his room to discover another boy unpacking his luggage. "Hey, I'm Steve, and you must be Peter," Steve said, introducing himself. "Mary at the front desk said you'd be my roommate. I'm from Central Prestonia, where are you from?," he asked. "Oh, and by the way, I brought along my PS3 and computer, you're welcome to use both. One last thing, this is my hedgehog Spike. You can play with him if you want, but he might need a few days to get used to you," he continued. "Well, I'm starved, I haven;t had anything to eat since I left Central Prestonia six hours ago. What do you say we hit the cafeteria?"

Rick Cheer was walking down the stairs when he heard the kid talking loudly. He walked upto the two,

"Hey, welcome to the International School for Teens!" he said excitedly to the two, shaking both of their hands. "Would you like some help with those bags?" he asked Lauren.

"And in the office right over here, Mary will get you signed in." he said to the two.

"And I'm glad to be heyah, man," Dwayne said, vigorously shaking Cheer's hand.

"I could use a hand, sure," Lauren said, smiling to Rick. At least someone had a better sense of introductions-and someone had to make a better impression on her country than the star athlete would.

Peterson walked into the office, slightly before Lauren, stretching his arm with his equipment over his head, "This where we all at?"

One of the facility members approached Ingram Hasley,

"Ingram Hasley?" he asked.

"yes, thats me. why?" said Ingram

John hung around wondering if Matt was going to come up and talk to him, and he had his hands in his pocket's, when he got a call... He picked his iPhone up and said "Hullo Dad, why, erm, noooo!, I, I, what, aghhh!" John hung up, and went back into his dorm and sat down..

"yes, thats me. why?" said Ingram
A man in a black suit stepped out from around a corner behind the facilty member.

"Ingram Hasley, I am from the ViZionarian government. ViZion has entered the conflict within your nation, and there's a possibility of war with British Londinium. The ViZionarian government has ordered me to keep watch on you until the situation has settled down." the man said.

[The following day]
The man from the ViZionarian government approached Ingram,

"Ingram Hasley, the situation with British Londinium had ended without war. I want to inform you that I am no longer assigned to make sure you remain unharmed. Have a great life, young man." he said, before disappearing, likely never to see the boy again.

OOC: Nah I don't sadly nor AIM either...

IC:

John smiled and said "Why thank you, you're good looking too, I'd love to hang out with you, you're the first lady I've met at this school.."

Rae finished signing her forms, she left her sister and went back upstairs to John & Ingrams room.

'Thanks' she said blushing.
'Yeh your my first friend too....' she trailed off, she looked at him and she could imagine playing the guitar he'd have big muscles. But she knew once the other girls saw him, he wouldnt look twice at her.

'the other girls are pretty good looking' she added quietly.

John smiled and said "Nah, they're only half as good looking as you, I think you look very nice in my humble opinion.." He noticed her admiring his muscles and grinned and said "It's nice that I've made 2 friends on my first day here.."

she smiled.
'well...I had better go unpack my stuff, I'll only be next door....I could do with a hand unpacking' she said winking, she stood close to him, her hair smelt of summer fruits.

she smiled.

OOC: ViZion, I'd be willing to RP a social sciences teacher or something to the effect. And I do hope that this thread is, ah, free of international biases, because I'd actually like to send a student.

Flavia Zoé Davidson cautiously walked into the halls of the school. Daughter to the Londinian consul, her red hair brushed against her slender face. Apprehensive and punctilious, she had inherited her father's obsessive-compulsive disorder-like tendencies, and had dreaded having to attend the IST. But her father had insisted that the sixteen-year-old girl attend the school, partially because with her IQ, she needed a place to study at her level, but also because he hoped to rid Flavia of her inhibitions, so that she could serve as a bridge between British Londinium and the world. She rolled her sleek, black suitcase through the halls, looking around curiously for a place to sign-in.

Flavia Zoé Davidson cautiously walked into the halls of the school. Daughter to the Londinian consul, her red hair brushed against her slender face. Apprehensive and punctilious, she had inherited her father's obsessive-compulsive disorder-like tendencies, and had dreaded having to attend the IST. But her father had insisted that the sixteen-year-old girl attend the school, partially because with her IQ, she needed a place to study at her level, but also because he hoped to rid Flavia of her inhibitions, so that she could serve as a bridge between British Londinium and the world. She rolled her sleek, black suitcase through the halls, looking around curiously for a place to sign-in.

John said to Rae "Hold on a second, I've got to meet the new girl.." He walked towards Flavia and smiled and said "Hello, I am John Arnold, I am from Calizorinstan, I can tell your from British Londinium." He smiled, as much as it hurt him to tell Rae, or think it, she was probably a better fit for his life, he thought she looked very pretty, but dared not speak it aloud. He was still in his military academy dress blues, with hat, and shined and polished boots, making him look very handsome..

Flavia curtsied politely towards the young Calizorinstani man.

"Am I that uptight?" she laughed. "I thought I had done so well to hide it...I presume you are the son of the Calizorinstani president. But, who really cares about our parents? Where are our dorms? That's what's important - unpacking and a nice, hot shower."

Flavia curtsied politely towards the young Calizorinstani man.

"Am I that uptight?" she laughed. "I thought I had done so well to hide it...I presume you are the son of the Calizorinstani president. But, who really cares about our parents? Where are our dorms? That's what's important - unpacking and a nice, hot shower."

John smiled and said "Urm, yeah I am actually, I've been in one other foreign school before this, my roommate snuck his girlfriend into our room, bright idea, we nearly got expelled. I have never told my father about that incident. Say, there's a dorm to the right of mine and Ingram's that's empty, it's 576, mine is 575, ask Mary if you can live in the dorm next to John Arnold's. I have a feeling we'll be friends.."

He bowed slightly and smiled and said "I've been at this school for only 3 hours, but the school is big from what I can tell.."

"And whom would Mary be?" Fulvia asked, confused slightly. "I'll ask her if I find her, though. I would love to be next to you."

Rae looked at the girl and her face dropped, she unpacked all her things herself, she then sat on her bed and looked out the window, she heard talking it then quietened down and she sat quietly, listening to the birds...

If Fulvia hadn't learnt to stringently control her facial expressions, she would have raised an eyebrow and possibly sneered at Ræ.

Poor girl, she thought. She can't compete with my charm...

She knocked quietly on the girl's door as she entered.

"Hi," Fulvia said. "I'm Fulvia Zoé Davidson, at your service. I noticed you standing next to that boy, John. Care to room together? I'm sure we'll get on great."

"And whom would Mary be?" Fulvia asked, confused slightly. "I'll ask her if I find her, though. I would love to be next to you."

John blushed a shade of violet, and hopefully before Fulvia noticed, John said "My friend visited British Londinium recently, I believe he met your father Consul Davidson, correct?, I guess if you see Mary, remember what I told you.."

Later, after he finished talking to her, he went up to Rae and said "I think of you and all of the girls the same way, I do not have any favorites Rae, don't think I like you or Fulvia more then each other, don't worry.." He gave Rae a little hug and said "Fulvia will be on the dorm to the right of mine okay?, and you to my left.."

"Something to that effect, yes," Fulvia said nonchalantly. "I believe he mentioned something involving meeting a foreign minister."

She smiled, allowing herself to wink at John. "Well, I must attend to some, er, business. Ta!"

John said "Alrighty, you know my room number "575", feel free to come in this evening, I think we're having pizza or something.." He shut his dorm door, and inside he blushed deeply, "Man, Fluvia's got style!, she may be a good friend, I dunno, to early to tell.." He turned on his Playstation 3, and started playing Blazing Angels:Squadrons of WWII, that made him relax..

Rae raised an eyebrow and went back to sitting on her bed.

ah well,I guess I'll meet someone who likes me for me and not money or my looks she thought. She kept thinking of everyone here and it made her miss home, she called her mum and broke down.... she then went outside and along the corridor with red puffy eyes...

Rae raised an eyebrow and went back to sitting on her bed.

John ran out to Rae, and got down on his knees and said "Forgive me Rae, I love you,I don't like you for money or looks, I think you look very nice.." He started sobbing a bit, torn between the two girls, and said "I am dumb and stupid, I don't know all this stuff..."

He then escorted her into his dorm before Fluvia could see them, and he turned off the T.V and sat her down on his bed, and sat down next to her, and he rubbed her hands and said "Look, I apologize if it sounded like I liked/loved Fluvia more then you, I like/love the same, maybe even more then her, you're my first friend I met here, and I won't forget it, you hair smells nice by the way.." He let her lean her head on his shoulder, and smiled weakly..

Rae raised an eyebrow.
'I don't know what to say, I'm crying really because I miss my parents' she said, she turned and looked at him and kissed him quickly on the cheek.

'I don't want you to be torn between her and me, at the end of the day its your choice, i'll still be your friend'

Rae raised an eyebrow.
'I don't know what to say, I'm crying really because I miss my parents' she said, she turned and looked at him and kissed him quickly on the cheek.

'I don't want you to be torn between her and me, at the end of the day its your choice, i'll still be your friend'

John blushed and said "Give me time, I'll think about it, I'll still be your friend too you know, how about you come over here, in our dorm for dinner tonight huh, what say you Rae?" He gave her a pat on the shoulder and said "Well, you're lucky that you have parents, I do too, but my mother was killed my terrorists, when I was 12 years old, her last words were "I love you John, and I hope you do well in later life, I'll see you in heaven..", and my father's the President of Calizorinstan, so, whomever I marry will, sort of take the place of my mother..." He looked about at the dorm, wondering what Rae was thinking...

OOC: Um, whoever's the sign-in people, can you get to my peeps, I'm kinda stuck in a holding pattern, thanks.

she smiled.
'I might do...I might not' she said mysteriously.
'Is Flavia going? I mean im generally a sociable person, but I dont go out of my way to be nice to people when I know I'll get jack back....so if she is attending...I probably will not'
I wonder what he thought of my kiss

Alice Trueman carried all her folders and stationery up the steps to the teachers lounge, passing Matt, his sisters advisor, she passed a smile, then tripped up on the carpet edge, her books went flying.....

Steve decided to go take a walk around the the campus and meet some new people. On his way to the cafeteria, he spotted a girl who looked to be from British Londinium. Damn, there's some hot chicks here, Steve thought to himself as he approached. "Hey, I'm Steve Preston from Central Prestonia, how are you?," he asked as he approached.

Well, let me call up the Dean of Faculty so he can meet with you about your job." she said.

After a couple of minutes, he stepped out. "Hello, Mr. Delgadillo. It is nice to meet you. Come on back into my office." he said.

Marcus got up out of his chair and extended his arm out to greet the Dean. “Likewise, it’s good to meet you as well.” Before following the dean in, he grabbed his brief case and made sure his front overcoat was buttoned. This was going to be an important meeting and he wanted to represent himself and his country well.

"Well, Jorge, I guess this is fate, as I am assigned to work with you." he said, reaching his hand out to shake the boys hand.

"And that's exactly what I'm here for. To show you around, tell you about the school, help you find your dorm, and get into the activities you're interested in getting involved with." he paused for a second before continuing, "You seem a little uneasy. First time here in ViZion?" he asked.

“Thanks, I think I’ll start by asking where my dorm is.” After being asked if this was his first time in ViZion, Jorge responded in a low-key manner, “Yeah, this is sort of a big change for me. I really haven’t spent much time out of my home country. With everything going on politically, it’s kind of seems like a bad time for a change, but I wanted to see what’s outside of the Aztec National League.”

Juliet was thinking about the things Ingram Hasley had told her about, such as British Londinian soldiers blending a woman alive and then force feeding the remains to her parents, she did know some information about the conflict, but this gave information about an incident that, to her, was quite shocking, because she never before heard about a person being placed into a blender..at least in reality.

She looked around to see everyone talking, and she was by herself, but she was open to talking to others, she would not mind one of the other students walking up to her and opening a conversation.

She decided to walk around and explore the campus for a while, just so she could know where her classes would be and so in the future she would not get lost.

After waiting for a few minutes, it was obvious that the girl from British Londinium was either too busy to notice or not interested in Steve. Not giving up, he decided to walk around some more when he saw another girl walking down th hall towards him. Seeing a chance to introduce himself, he casually stepped in front of her and struck up a conversation. "I'm Steve Preston, from Central Prestonia. How are you today?," he said casually.

As Juliet walked, she noticed another student who stepped in front of her. She stopped where she was and smiled at Steve. Juliet had just been thinking about interacting with other students, and now she found herself interacting with another student.

"My name is Juliet and I am from the nation of Myakka. I am alright today and you?" Juliet said to Steve in response, she was quite good looking, just like the British Londinium girl and perhaps others as well. Juliet stood there, waiting for a reply from this other student who wanted to talk with her.

"I'm doing okay, I'm a bit jet-lagged from the flight, it's six hours from Central Prestonia to ViZion. I was just about to hit the cafeteria, want to come with me? I could go for some food about now. Dad forgot to mention to the designers of Air Force One that people need food as well as the usual TVs, video games, and other fun stuff it seems like. I forgot to mention, my dad's President. I don't like making a big deal of it though, I just thought I'd let you know since you seem like a cool person."

OOC: Last post for the night, I will get back online when I can. Sorry if the post is too small.

"That is quite interesting, Steve. Your dad is a President? My dad is a Member of Parliament, he is a politician like your father is. I also thank you for the compliment you gave me." Juliet gave Steve a smile for a brief moment before she continued to talk to Steve.

"I would not mind going to the cafeteria with you." Juliet said before walking with Steve to the cafeteria.

"Yeah, dad pretty much built our nation. He was the general during our revolution for independence and afterwards the people elected him President even though he didn't run, because they were so greatful. The name Preston carries a lot of influence, but I get sick of it sometimes. I was voted "cutest teen bachelor" by some magazine, and got hundreds of love letters for weeks after that. But, I never got to see any of the girls because of dad's concern for security. He always had the damn Praetorian Guards hovering around me, so I finally made a deal with him. We agreed that if I took martial arts and got a black belt, he'd drop my guard detail. I had my black belt within a year. So, no more annoying guards to deal with. It's pretty cool that your dad's in Parliament, I'd rather my dad be a congressman than run the country sometimes. So, what are you planning to do after you get out of school?"

John smiled at Rae, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and ran down to see Juliet, and he said smiling, bowing slightly "I am John Arnold, from Calizorinstan, nice to meet another fellow student.."

Rae had just come back from her first lecture, it was Geography and she had had her sister teaching, she always took the micky because Rae thought Geog was boring, but her sister made it so much more fun.

She got changed and started to make her room more homely without ruining her room mates 'side' she wondered when John would be around, but she figured not to get her hopes up.

Steve decided to go take a walk around the the campus and meet some new people. On his way to the cafeteria, he spotted a girl who looked to be from British Londinium. Damn, there's some hot chicks here, Steve thought to himself as he approached. "Hey, I'm Steve Preston from Central Prestonia, how are you?," he asked as he approached.

"Just fine," Flavia replied. "Pleasure to meet you, Steve. Flavia Zoé Davidson, at your service. So, what year are you in?"

"I'm going to be in 9th grade when the year starts up. Hey, me and Juliet were going to go to the cafeteria, would you like to come?"

"Why not?" Flavia replied. "I'm quite...peckish. I hope they serve some decent food here, though."

"If not, I've got my country's embassy here on speed dial on my cell phone, there's a chef there that'll make whatever you want. Dad believes in taking care of our ambassadors. Oh I forgot to mention, my dad's kinda the President of Central Prestonia."

"Central...Prestonia..." Flavia said, searching her mind for references to the country. "Ah, yes. I believe my father mentioned it once. While we're at it, I'm the daughter of the Londinian consul. But, then again, I don't see why it would have any bearing on my life. I try to keep it out of my mind, stop it from getting to my head, you know?"

"I agree, it gets tiring always being the son of a president. I'm glad to get away from Central Prestonia for once, when I was there dad always had his security team, the Praetorian Guard, hovering around me. Now I'm here and free finally, no more oversized men in suits telling me what to do."

"Must be a relief. I've never really had that problem - I've always tried to explore the world, and Father has always been fairly accommodating. But I can't say I've been to Central Prestonia."

"Well, you should come see it sometime, it's really a beautiful country. There's forests, mountains, deserts, and of course, our beaches. As dad says, the land is as diverse as its people. I wouldn't mind seeing your country, but given all the stuff that's been going on, I think it would be better to wait awhile."

Rae had a shower, nice and cold, she got out and got changed. she was glad she had a good first day, she got into some loose pants and a strap top revealing her golden tan, her hair was slightly damp and curly, she smiled, she felt good...

John approached Fluvia and said "Would you like to come to my dorm for dinner tonight Fluvia?" He hoped she'd say yes, she was nice and attractive after all, so was Rae, she was nice too.. He tried hard not to blush, but he liked her so much though, he hoped she'd say yes...

John smiled and said "Yeah, that's fine, well, see you tomorrow night my dorm.." He walked up to Rae and said "Fulvia isn't coming tonight, will you come to my dorm for dinner?" He looked a bit desperate, worrying that she would refuse..

Ingram noticed the Londinian girl and walked over. he said nothing, handing her a folder containing the leaflet dropped from bombers over Orlock, pictures of dead Cazelian civilians, Londinian troops abusing civilians, a picture of his dead father and the man who killed him standing over his body and a painting of the Consul in front of a Cazelian firing squad "these are the atrocities commited against my people, and what i think of the bastard consul" and walked away

John scowled and said to Ingram "Just because a handful of Londinian's did that, doesn't mean they're all that way.., I think they must have had a reason to bomb your country into dirt.." He prepared to fight if Ingram got aggressive..

Flavia looked at the pictures briefly, absentmindedly saying, "Pamphlets were my idea...never get any credit." After another short moment, the pictures were thrown into a nearby rubbish bin. "So what?" she asked the Cazelian girl.

I will send 20 kids with body guards. I will not have them killed

"John, i'm not gonna fight you, i just have a natural grudge against Londinians, and i think it's resonable, after all, the dishonorable shit who killed my father never even honored the deal they made"

Rae went and knocked on Johns door after hearing all the commotion.
'hey...is everything ok?'

Rae went and knocked on Johns door after hearing all the commotion.
'hey...is everything ok?'

Ingram tapped Rae on the shoulder. he was a mess, he was shaking, pale and unsteady on his feet. he handed her the pamphlet and sat down in the lobby, quite sad "who could raise such an evil, sadistic girl?"

As Steve sat down in the large booth in the cafeteria, he began to strike up a conversation with Juliet. "So Juliet, you say you're from Myakka? I apologize for sounding ignorant, but I don't believe I've heard of your nation. Please tell me all about it."

Rae held his shoulders.
'come....' she said, she lead him to her room, she poured him so cold water and sat him down.
Rae was a very soothing caring person.
'Whats wrong?' she asked sitting next to him.

Rae held his shoulders.

he handed her the pamphlet "a little girll made this, and she didnt care, and she didnt care about the atrocities her father commited upon my nation" he lokked down "and what he did to my father"

Rae read it, she felt angry, she put an arm around his shoulder.
'don't worry, there are places for little girls like that, she will get her come uppance, im sure your father will want you to be getting on with things, im sure he was a great man and he is sorely missed, but he must have done alot for your country' she said smiling reassuringly, she hugged him.

"thanks" said Ingram "the day my father died, a marine came to our house and informed us about waht happened. i was proud he decided to give his life for his country, yet about 2 weeks later they invaded, and broke the deal" Ingram looked sad "on that day i vowed revenge upon the man who killed my father"

Rae smiled at him.
'you are a very brave young man' she said, she kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair.
'I am sure you will find him' she said softly, her eyes big and blue.

Ingram knocked on the door to John's room "John, open up, i need some sleep" he said, hoping John would hear him "come on John, open the door"

Rae poked her head around.
'I think you scared him hunny' she said, giving him a puppy dog face, she shut her door again.

'I think you scared him hunny' she said, giving him a puppy dog face, she shut her door again.

"yeah i guess so, i was quite a mess back there" he said turning to Rae "we havent got to know each other, what's Sparklesun like?"

'come in again' she said, giggling she opened the door.
'yknow...*blushing*you could sleep in here...my room mates not around and she hasnt even moved in.....'

'Sparklesun full of snowy mountains, gorgeaus lakes, big open fields....' she said, looking up as if she was imagining it all.

"your country sounds nice, much better than mine" he said, climbing onto one of the bunks 'my country is full of peacekeeping teams, dead bodies and destroyed tanks" he said "my country used to be like yours, until the war" he lied down in the bunk "just like the refugee camp back home" he said

'well its probably good you are here then' she said, she climbed up next to him.
'you like the top bunk eh?' she asked softly, she grabbed her big fluffy pillow and threw it at him playfully.

Rae woke up and saw that Ingram had gone from the bunk across the room, she woke up and went next door and gently knocked on Johns door, hoping he'd go to breakfast with her...

John opened up and said to Ingram "I am so sorry about this, but I find the British Londinian's alot more tolerable, yeah, even likeable then you, can you just drop your grudge?" He walked to Rae and smiled and hooked his arm over his and headed over to the cafetriea and said quietly away from Ingram's earshot, "Just so you know, Fluvia didn't write that pamphlet, it's just Ingram is a bit, well, not quite right in his head. Ah well, I still like you, him and Fluvia all the same.."

'alright, yeh we spoke last night, I don't think hes bad at all, I quite like him' Rae said smiling, they walked down to the cafeteria, had breakfast.
'ahh crap, I have history today...' Rae said looking at the timetable.

John smiled and said "Yeah, but that's interesting stuff, will you still like me, if I like, or love Fluvia Rae?, I wouldn't do it if you wouldn't be my friend anymore?"

she raised an eyebrow.
'if i was a true friend, I wouldnt mind, true friends want eachother to be happy and if your happy with her then I'm happy' she said, she knew she wouldnt be, but thats what her mother always told her.

She got up and they walked back upstairs...

she raised an eyebrow.
'if i was a true friend, I wouldnt mind, true friends want eachother to be happy and if your happy with her then I'm happy' she said, she knew she wouldnt be, but thats what her mother always told her.

John smiled and said "I still love you, I would, um, like to ask you, er, out maybe tonight?" He looked at her smiling, he truly did love her, he wasn't sure about Fluvia, but maybe he could see what she was like before he decieded..

'wow....yeh sure of course...Id like that' she said smiling, she kissed him this time on the lips.
oh dear....I've got nothing to wear....

John said blushing a bit "I'll see you in history class.." with that, he walked off to history class, and maybe if Rae didn't work out, he would ask Fluvia, but Rae seemed like such a nice girl, he didn't see any problems with her, so I'll just keep dating her, he decided.

Rae knew what was going on, he was testing them out to see which one is better, she quickly nipped out before class and bought a silver spangly top and a ruffled denim skirt.

She was happy now she knew she had something to wear, she went to class and sat away from John, concentrating hard on her work, afterwards she went and showered and got ready, she straightened her hair and twisted little bits of it, she put on a little bit of bronzer and some clear lip gloss. She waited for John to come knocking.

John changed into his military academy dress blues, polished his boots, and put on his ha, shaved his face, straightened his hair, and walked out of his dorm, and knocked on Rae's door, hoping she would know it was him and open up..

she got nervous, she opened up the door.
'Hey...' she said, she was a little scared, but she was still smiling....
Her skirt showed off her golden tan and the silver top did also.

John opened up and said to Ingram "I am so sorry about this, but I find the British Londinian's alot more tolerable, yeah, even likeable then you, can you just drop your grudge?"

Ingram looked at him "John, i will not drop my grudge until i kull the man who killed my father" he said sternly

Rae saw Ingram. She felt a little overdressed when everyone else was in normal clothes.
'Ingram, we'll chat later, we didnt finish what he started yesterday evening' she said with a warm smile.

she got nervous, she opened up the door.
'Hey...' she said, she was a little scared, but she was still smiling....
Her skirt showed off her golden tan and the silver top did also.

John smiled at her and said "Hey Rae, I made it!" He walked in and sat down, thinking happy thoughts.

Earlier in the day...

Ingram looked at him "John, i will not drop my grudge until i kull the man who killed my father" he said sternly "and once i get out of here i'm going to do just that" he said

John shook his head and said "Revenge isn't a good thing at all Ingram!, heck you're father made a fatal mistake, by bascially saying "Kill me!", so he did!, quite frankly that man has a lot of bodyguards, and you'll die trying, unless you're a terrorist type.." He didn't know why his blood was boiling right know..

"he said kill me and dont occupy! but they killed him and never honored the deal, the Londinians are dirty playing scum!" he said rather angrily "i'm not going to fight you, but you insulted my father's honor" and with that, he slammed the door in John's face


Later that day...

he looked at Rae "gee, you look nice Rae" he said smiling, before running off to dinner

Rae looked at John.
'could you give me a minute....' she said eyeing the door.

She knocked gently.
'Ingram...its me, Rae.... let me in for just a minute' she said softly.

John nodded and said to himself "His father never had any honor, his father ruined the peace talks!." Aloud, he said to Rae "I doubt that Ingram will forgive me again Rae, but will you tell him to calm down and that I didn't mea n exactly what I said.." He was mad, and sad, he roommate already hated him..

Rae looked at John.
'could you give me a minute....' she said eyeing the door.

She knocked gently.
'Ingram...its me, Rae.... let me in for just a minute' she said softly.

"sure, come on in" he said solemly. he opened the door "what is it?"

she didnt say anything, she sat down and cuddled him.
'jsut let this go for the minute, I don't want you two arguing, I care about both of you' she said, she kissed his cheek and got up.
'I feel over-dressed' she said smiling, she straightened out her skirt.
'we can finish off that pillow fight later if you like....'

She went out the room and looked at John.
'Right...lets go' she said,

She went out the room and looked at John.
'Right...lets go' she said,

John smiled and then said to Ingram "I apologize for my outburst Ingram, it's just to me, revenge isn't really a big thing in Calizorinstan you see, and I was worried that you know, any ways I am sorry.." He hooked his arm under Rae's and he smiled at Ingram...

She smiled.
'so where are we going?' as they walked out of the school.

She smiled.
'so where are we going?' as they walked out of the school.

John said "Something like a good American food place, that's what I'd like, do you agree, by the way, you look lovely tonight.." He smiled at her, and he spotted some teenage boys giving him envious looks at having Rae for a date..

She smiled.
'sounds great....' she said
'awww thanks' she added, she held his hand this time and squeezed it gently.
all the time though she was worried about Ingram, he was so misunderstood, she felt he'd shown his true self to her.
I hope hes ok

about an hour later, Ingram got a phone call Ingram, your mother died of the gun wounds she took at the Imperial ball, i'm sorry Ingram was shocked, he walked back to his room in complete shock "no...NO!" he yelled, kicking the side of his bed How? he thought, medical science today was supposed to stop stuff like that. although they were 50 caliber. Ingram climbed on his bed and fell sleep great, i'm an orphan

Rae got her phone and sent a message to Ingram/
R U OK
she sent it quickly and put her phone away...

John sighed and said to Rae "When we get back, I am going to apologize to Ingram, and ask if he still want's to be my friend.."

'I'm sure everything will be fine' she said squeezing his hand again.
She gave him a look, like an illuring glance with her blue eyes.

'I'm sure everything will be fine' she said squeezing his hand again.
She gave him a look, like an illuring glance with her blue eyes.

John smiled down at her, his brown eyes twinkling and said "You are right, it will all be fine.." They walked into the restaurant that John spoke off and he sat down at a table with her...

She sat down opposite him looking around.
'looks good in here' she said smiling, she kept giving him little glances.

They ordered and they waited.

'so....whats your nation like?'

She sat down opposite him looking around.
'looks good in here' she said smiling, she kept giving him little glances.

They ordered and they waited.

'so....whats your nation like?'

John smiled "Quite hilly, and lots of snow capped mountains, with glistening forests below, in the middle it's junglish sort of, and the south, is somewhat desert like, it's a very pretty nation, what's Sparklesun like?"

'similar to yours, except we have dangerous north borders, no one goes there really, but yeh its a very beautiful place' she said, their food arrived and they ate.

'That was great thanks' she said, she moved and sat round next to him, she held his hand, hers was cold, she looked at him....her eyes so hypnotising.

John smiled and said "Our northern borders, I believe, we might have velcioraptors, or Caliraptors as they're now called, that is why nobody I believe dares go up there now.., there was a town now I think about it up there, but it is I believe, only populated by gunslingers..."

'yeh thats true, my parents were born there, but they reformed and moved down to the prairies' she said, she slid a hand on his thigh, a gentle brush...

'yeh thats true, my parents were born there, but they reformed and moved down to the prairies' she said, she slid a hand on his thigh, a gentle brush...

John smiled and said "That's a very interesting story, I went up to that abandoned town with no guns on me, except an 1865 Colt, well, it was a good thing I carried a gun, for I was involved in a shootout rightaway.., I took out 5 armed outlaws in 7 minutes, I am that good.., and then I took one horse and ran off, not wanting to stay and shoot.." He knew she liked him and smiled..

There was a moment of silence.
'its late' she said, she was disappointed he wasn't participating in the contact game.

There was a moment of silence.

John sighed and he reached and rubbed her thigh before getting up, hooking his arm's under hers, he said smiling a bit "I think this was a successful night out.."

'why the sigh? are you alright?' she asked, she tingled as he touched her, she got up straightened her skirt.

'yes...very succesful' she said, holding his hand tighter.

'why the sigh? are you alright?' she asked, she tingled as he touched her, she got up straightened her skirt.

'yes...very succesful' she said, holding his hand tighter.

John started "Oh, oh, I was just thinking of what I am going to say to Ingram.., I've got it, but if he kick's me out of the dorm, he probably won't let me take my stuff, in which case I'll room with you and Fluvia then, oh just so you know Rae, I am going to go out with Fluvia, I mean I like you very much, but I want to see how Fluvia is..."

Rae's eyes tickled.
'I knew it.....' she said sharply. she walked back on her own.
she turned.
'just so you know, you are not using my room if he kicks you out' she said, there were tears rolling down her cheeks.

she walked back quickly and slammed her door.

John said "Wait wait, I've changed my mind, please Rae, please..., oh pretty please, I was only testing, I am not going out with her.." He knocked on her door, and said a bit unevenly "Alright, I am going to punch the light's out of Ingram if he won't let me back in the dorm, for revenge!, please Rae, I love you and I won't date Fulvia I promise.."

She opened the door.
'you can't just do that....how can I trust you after you keep changing your mind - its obvious you don't like me enough because i was making moves and you werent giving them back...I was foolish to even try'
