ViZion University, Vitalita is located along the coast in northern Vitalita. Being that Vitalita is along the southern coast of ViZion along the Atlantic, the weather was a very comfortable 70-80 degrees consistantly. The warm ocean breezes sweep across the campus, day and night.

The massive campus is filled with Mediterranean-style buildings, and the masses of courtyards throughout the 10 mile wide by 12 mile long campus were filled with palm trees and grass. Electric vehicles are a common side, taking people from one part of the campus to another.

OOC: Send your students to college! This is a college character RP - and, no, that doesn't mean you have to be a RL college student. Those with a 4.0 GPA will get a full-size scholarship, with those of 3.5 GPA and above will get half of their tuition paid for. For your top athletes, they can get upto a full-ride scholarship.
I'm looking for teachers also, as well as someone to lead the various sports - baseball, basketball, football, futbol, surfing, golf, and swimming - to run 'em and lead them to be the top team in their sport!
I'm looking for Deans of the various School of XXXXX as well. Please TG me with the request if you want to be a Dean, and if I accept it, you'll be responsible for setting up the classes if you want.

Since I'm pretty busy with my RP's, you are automatically accepted as a student!

For dorms, you can choose your roomies. :) at this time, they are not co-ed.
Any questions, please let me know!
You don't have to be a RL college student. ;)
THIS IS AN OPEN RP! You can join!

Major 1: Mathematics
Major 2: Psychology
A little about you:
Well, I'm a bit self-conscious about these things but, I'm John and I'm 19 years old. I studied at the Freedom City High School, initially wanting to study medicine. However, during Year 12, I realise that although I like science, my academic ability was not of a level to be able to do medicine. After Year 12, uncertain of what I wanted to do, I took a gap year, visiting many places. I decided, after talking with my old teachers, that I should just continue with some of my school subjects that I liked at a uni level. However, I decided to study at a international school, partly because I had caught a travel bug and want to study overseas and partly that I will have to wait six months before being able to apply. I would like to go to ViZion University as I have been to Vitalita during my gap year and I liked it, and it's academic reputation.

Born and raised in Kanami and a proud citizen. Unfortunatley University of Carmina Gadalica is the only school that offers a film program but It's much too hard to get in. So I thought I'd look to my horizions and I found this school read all about it and it sounds like a great place. I didn't achive a 4.0 because of my Math class my Graduating year so I graduated with a 3.5. My father is in the military. He served in two Wars which led me to get into a few fights with thoes that bashed military men and the war. I'm also a one-in-a-million musician, probably the only girl to play the Trombone in my school ever.

A little about you: I do not exactly know what to put here, so let's say that I am a nerd, but interested in many different things. I was for one month in a minorly important government function, but that is nothing I chose (Na~ovi kali is a democracy like in ancient greek times and positions in the government are randomly appointed for a short period of time). I left the university in Na~ovi because after they broke away from the main nation, things bacame too chaotic for me.

High School Transcript: The Rejistani education system uses the L-rating, where I got L52. There is no exact way to transform those into GPA but conservatily estimated it's 3.2, liberally estimated: 3.51

OCC: I mean in real life at my high school you can get a 5.0 GPA like i said if u take all honors

We welcome all of our applicants to ViZion University, Vitalita!

OOC: can you give us a bit more detailled information?

IC:
In the kente of the family Hatide:

Elan was tired. You could see from every movement that he despised waking up early. His facial expression was a condemnation of alarm clocks and school and all the rest. Mechanically he ate his breakfast - alone. Syku was in a limbo at the moment - She could not do any exams this semester and so she volunteered in a youth centre. This however means her mornings are free of any form of occupation - and spent sleeping or sitting in front of her LAI in about equal amounts. Their parents however need to leave at horrible times. Both work for the municipal errr sorry, national etju as busdrivers.

After breakfast, Elan grabbed his schoolbag and left, not forgetting to stop at the mailbox. Only then his annoyed face changed - to pure sadism. Elan opened the door to the room of his sister and shook her awake. Before she knew what was going on, he handed her the letter and ran.

Syku fought the urge to turn around and sleep on. She needs to find out what's in the letter. Grabbing her glasses, she looked where it came from: ViZion University... haaaa ve, Sykuju, no getting excited too early!. she opened the envelope. For a second, it struck her how weird long latin alphabet texts look like. The alphabet really suffered when they made forms for typesetting. Even though she can read the latin alphabet, it still is not something she regularily uses, except for variables in equations - and the occational English story. She reads the letter... the buereaucratese here is different from the rejistani (or na~ovikian) one. Then she shouts loud enough to wake up her neighbours: "LA'KANVALI! LA'KANVALI!"

The next days will be a flurry of activities: leaving Na~ovi uni, packing, buereaucratese of various forms... oh and telling it my parents! she however felt very happy that she was accepted and so looked forward to it.

Chris woke up tired last night from his friends party he continue on in the kitechen. he grabbed something to drink and went out on his two mile jog
like he does every morning since the 11th grade. he returned home at around
10:30. He walked straight in the house and took a shower and he throw on
red polo and black shorts and red oured sharks fitted. he then got in his car drove to his Girlfriend house. He hoped to go to the same college with her
once he arrived he got out of the car and knocked on the door. she answered
and said

hey baby said Jessica

whats up said Chris

nothing i just got into University of Southern Palona said Jessica

well i thought that we going to go to the same college i planned on going to
Vizion and you said that you were going to go there too said Chris

I deicded that i want to stay in the country and plus its only a four hour drive away from my house said Jessica

well what about are relationship what going to happen to us me going all the
way to Vitalita. said Chris

i guess we should probably break up or something i mean your going to be all the way in vitalita and im going to be here and you will probably find some body else said Jessica

Chris thought to himself for a minute she was his gurlfriend since the 9th grade and its going to be hard to let go of her

Alright but i guess your right. said Chris

but i still want to be best friend since you have been all my life so please dont stop calling i still like to hear your voice said jessica

alright i wont well i have to go said Chris

he got back in his car and drove back home he was feeling depressed he walked in the house and said hi to his family and looked on the table he
saw the vizion universtiy letter and open and read Congratutens u have
been given a full Academic Schaolorship to Vizion Universtiy. It cheered
him up being accepted. he told his parents they were so happy to see
that after that he walked into his room and feel a sleep

I could post an application as a student or a teacher/dean

Could I have multiple characters?

Also, for schedules, I know of an application that would go great with with you may be seeking. IM me on AIM or whatever IM client you use so I can explain further :)

OOC: Not trying to be remarkably rude, but Anagor, you need some classes in proper grammar yourself, before playing a teacher.

ViZon, are you going to start a seperate thread for the university RP or are we to have it in this thread.

I would very seriously suggest a seperate thread so as to keep OOC and IC seperate.

"...but you won't see me glooming 'round without a hidden smile
and if I have to do a thing, I do it quite in style."

that fragment of a song was something of her mantra as she made it to the campus, carrying a suitcase of clothes and a bag of various stuff. Orienting herself in the slightly familiar landscape, she searched for the registration bureau. The internet had been down most of the last week due to technical issues and work-to-rule of Konihekta's exploitees. She hoped that she would find a roommate who also is a bit fascinated by computers so her programming sprees would be tolerated.

Bump for others to join and RP. It's on auto accept for anyone above 3.0 GPA (their character, not you in RL)

Ryan Getzlaf walked into Vitalita. He'd never been there before, however he'd heard many stories about the ViZions, some not so nice. "Excuse me, cabbie," he said, obviously, to a cab. "Can you please take me to the University?"

Ten Minutes Later

"Well, here's my new home," said Ryan in a whisper. So he went to the secretary, got his room key, and headed over to his dorm. Then he met a girl listening to music. "Hi!"

OOC: You Rejistana.

Syku was busy setting up things, mentally marking what she'd need to buy later. She was wearing a T-Shirt, which in rejistani letters proclaimed she was a fan of a na~ovikian soccer team. Her jeans were nondescript and surely not of any brand worth knowing - unless you have an interest in rejistani discount companies. Her black hair is about shoulder-length. Her skin was black and she was absent-mindedly smiling.
"Alat!" Syku said, then realized what she did and used English instead: "Hello! I am Syku. You live here as well?" She seriously hoped her accent got less within the last weeks. She trained with a program and a microphone how to manage the seemingly impossible task not to sound like someone from a very rural place, but she still got the 'qualities' of the vowels somewhat wrong. Na~ovikian Isesi and Rejistanian have no differences between the sounds of short and long vowels, except for the length - following that, she pronounces the i in live like the ea in speak, only shorter.



OOC:
1st: Who is Ryan?
2nd: No, I am not crazy for describing accents very detailed - just visually impaired

Ryan is my character. What else could he be, except he's, yah, he's a vampire.

"Hi," said Ryan to Syku. "Where are you from?" He took a swig of red liquid (Syku doesn't know it's blood.)

High-School Transcript: Did not attend.


A little about you:

I have been raised in a Scientologist community in H’lten-Ljeraq. My family has always strived to educate me in the ways of our Church, so I would be a good and decent person. At the age of 17 I signed my billion-year-contract with the Church authorities. Now I am studying for a History and Classical Studies BA, with a goal to later proceed for an MA and PhD in the Classical Studies, something which would open me many roads into a good employment and high salaries in Allanea – both of which I could employ for my own benefit and for the benefit of the Church, as is delineated in the terms of my contract.

If he's another one, fine with me.

OOC: Oops, I always get those names mixed up. I'll just make Daniel into Ryan. Cool. Allanea, just come on in.

"Well, I have something like 3 houses. One in the capital of the VDB, where I'm from. Vanek Drury Brieres. Another in the country, and the Presidential Palace. Yah."

"I see..." she obviously was curious, but then thought it might be impolite to ask. Then she decided just to risk it: "This sounds as if your family is representative in your nation?"

"Um, yes. There's my dad and my uncles. Do you like soccer?"

"Yes, I do! Navet Veran is the team, I cheer for at home! They are in the H3SR however. That is the AFNRan third league."

"Hmm. I managed to make the U-20 VDB team. I like Granderville FC, they're the best team in the VDB."

"Wow, sounds great! They never played Champions League, didn't they?"

"Most of the time. They are quite incredible. I want to be on them when I grow up, luckily I'm currently on the junior team. So I have a head start."

"Relekhakansa on your path and Jaortirkansa far from it!" She said smilingly while making the accompanying guesture to wish luck. "Oh dear, that sounded horribly rural and superstitious... 'Good luck with that' is what I mean! I played soccer in school, but I am only taltented to watch it on Esuvortu-mje."

"Hmm, that's pretty neat. Do you want to check in to get our rooms?"

"Yes, was planning this. You as well?" she hoped to find someone who either was a guide or a fellow lsot soul away from the places and Gods of the homeland.

"OK," said Ryan as he walked toward the desk. "Excuse me, I'm Ryan Getzlaf and I'm looking for my dorm key, I just got here, and so is this young lady here."

My uncle is the venerable William V Salisbury, King of Cotenshire, and upon my acceptance he has agreed to donate an amount equivalent to 5.8 billion USD to ViZion University, Vitalita. In addition to my many academic achievements, I also bear considerable talent in the fields of music and sport. I have been entertaining my uncle’s courts with the flute, piano, and fiddle since age five. In athletics I have astounded even the greatest of nobles in my skill in marksmanship with the bow and rifle. I also have years of experience in the equestrian arts and have participated in many a Great Royal Hunt, during which I have slain game as large as a 4600 pound moose. Although I have no transcripts from any of the educational institutions you seek, I can guarantee that my lifelong studies can bear the burden.

"OK," said Ryan as he walked toward the desk. "Excuse me, I'm Ryan Getzlaf and I'm looking for my dorm key, I just got here, and so is this young lady here."
"Yeah, I am Syku I Hatime, spelled Sy-ku I Ha-ti-me." while saying this the second time, she used fingerspelling to spell it as well as splitting it up in syllables which fits the way a name is perceived. It was something she learned at school, it is a part of literacy to be able to spell your name to a cop on a loud makistala.

"OK, then, here you go. Sir, you're in Room 1, and Syku, you're in Room 2. Welcome to ViZion." said the secretary.

"Thanks," said Ryan. "Do you need help with your luggage?"

OOC: Cotenshire, Allanea, come on in!

"It is okay. I am not really carrying much!"

OCC: we already started RP

Richard took his first steps in to the grounds of the campus. He glanced behind him to find that the guards must have left him or moved out of sight. This was comforting, as they had been trailing him at an awkward distance. He felt more at ease to take in his surroundings without the scrutiny of his uncle’s henchmen.

This city was not as barbaric as he feared it to be. True, it had its moments of ignorance and simplicity, but it also had an odd aura of civility that he found sorely lacking in the cities of the Dominion.

His thoughts were interrupted by some infernal noise closing in from behind. He whirled around to see the two guards had returned in some kind of self propelled cart. His paranoia suddenly overcame him and he leapt to the side amid fears of being run over, but the vehicle stopped short of him.

“Your majesty, we thought you would appreciate what we have found,” proclaimed one of the guards.

“Do you honestly expect for me to sit in that? I’ve seen a peasant wench with a more extravagant coach.”

“Well we thought that you would not fancy walking the entire distance.”

Richard gave in. He absolutely despised travel by foot, and did not know how much further a distance they had to cover. This terrible wagon would have to do for now, but he could not bear to wait for his horses, which would soon arrive with his other luggage.

He climbed into one of the back seats. As he sat next to the guard, he felt the hard butt of his short-barreled rifle concealed under his flamboyant garments. The red plume protruding from the guards helm bent under the cart’s low ceiling and tickled his ears.

“Where are your halberds?” asked Richard.

“We left them on the plane. We felt we would be too conspicuous walking around with them in this city.”

That the dumb oafs were worried about blending in despite their distinctive garbs astounded him. “You are here to protect me, am I correct?”

“That’s what our orders are, do you not believe us?”

No, he didn’t. He was not even sure if they were actually working for his uncle. He knew many of the vassals had a grudge on him. He had to get away from these agents at every possible opportunity. Therefore, when they arrived at the registration building, Richard insisted that he go in alone.

He walked up to someone behind a desk who seemed knowledgeable.

“Halt your business, for I am Prince Richard Salisbury. Do you know where I may procure a dorm key?” he asked.

"Um, yes, you're in Dorm 3."
OOC: I'm trying to move this along. Catch up to me and Rej. Please.

Chris pulled up to campus grounds and looked around and was amazed at the surroundings. He opened the trunk of the car and grabbed three of the five bags that he had with him. he continued to walk the whole distance to the Main office building to find out. What room and Dorm he would be staying in his father approached him carrying the rest off his bags.

So do you like what you see said His father

yup its looks nice around here said Chris

yea it is, so are you going to go talk to the football coach said His father

yea im going to go and see him once i get everything in place said Chris

alright thats going to be good I think you will make with that Cannon you got
for an arm and speed said his father

yea i hope so said Chris

well here we are lets go and get checked in said his father

alright said Chris

Chris walked up the steps and walked into the building saw very long line he after standing in line for 20 minutes. Chris finally reached the office desk and said

Im Chris Johnson i would like to get my schedule and Dorm key said Chris

"Um, here's your room key sir, Dorm Room 4, down that hallway." The secretary continued to type at her computer.

John Mackason walked into the Mediterranean-inspired buildings of the University. He had been walking to the dorm area, and asked for a set of keys to his room.

"Here it is, Dorm Room 5 sir. Down the hallway."

OOC: Flipping to Ryan Getzlaf down the hallway.

IC:

"Hello, I'm Ryan Getzlaf from the VDB, and you are?" asked Ryan.

OOC: To you Cotenshire. I'm glad this is picking up fast.

Normally Prince Richard would be incensed should some pig from the rabble confront and interrogate him, but with all the recent happenings he found his emotions conveniently tranquilized.

“You can call me ‘your majesty’ for now,” answered Richard shamelessly. “I hail from the dominion of my uncle, King William V Salisbury.” He thought for a moment that he should hold out his hand for the knave to kiss, but he did not want to spoil him any more than he already was. “I will be soon taking up residence in Dorm 3. You shall take me there at once.”

Syku had the advantage of not having much luggage, for her, it would mean not much more than putting a few books next to her bed, put clothing for about 2 weeks into the closet, put shhets on the bed and the ADVANSID on the desk. Her grandparents fled with less from Sumumusumu. She walked slowly attempting to orient herself. Suddenly she realized that she had no clue whether her trusty ADVANSID would work with the network. She smiled at the people she passed. She heard that someone insisted to be called by his title and sighed. She was happy that no one here would call her Saheri lerek or anything like that. Of course someone could have the idea to google her (exactly the same way she planned to google Ryan), but hopefully the number of false positives would be too much. Neither Syku nor I Hatime is a seldom name. reaching her door, she looked around who else would live next to her.

"No offense, your majesty, but we aren't servants. This is a nice young respectable lady named Syku and I'm actually royalty. I just don't flaunt it, and I don't really have a title. For the kings in our country are called Princes, instead of King. And I am next in line. So shut up! And, the dorm is down this hallway. You can see it." Ryan said in a disgusted manner.

"See, you, Syku," said Ryan as he walked into his dorm, #1. It looked pretty respectable. Just, a Mac on his desk (when he pulled out his laptop), some clothes in the closest, and of course his teddy bear, which got to sit next to the laptop.

He immediately booted up the laptop and Googled Syku Hatime. He hit many results and clicked on one.

OOC: What should he find Rej?

Ryan was kinda bored, so he decided to go meet his neighbors. He knocked on the door of #5. "Hello, I want to meet my neighbors."

OOC: There you go NC.

John walked straight into his room, and lied on his bad. It had been a long trip, and he wanted to get some rest.

OOC: If anyone could knock in, please do so?

OOC: Weird, my post is after yours.

John gave a sign. Looks like he had to socialise.

"Hey," said John. "I presume your also living in the dorms. What's your name?"

"Um, Ryan Getzlaf. And you are?"

OOC:

Yah, the clocks are synched to your computer's time. So your computer is a couple minutes ahead of mine. I hate it when this happens.

OOC: What should he find Rej?

OOC: It's like googling Michael Ballack to find someone else than the soccer player. However she was randomly chosen (instead of elections, all public offices in Na~ovi are assigned by random) as minister of infrastructure and there were quite a number of people who said she was a bad choice.

And it is Syku I Hatime (the I is no initial but a part of the last name)

IC:
It was easy to move in. After a very short time, her things were where they belonged. She pondered emailing her parents but realized that she had no idea what parameters are required to connect to the university LAN. She took her ADVANSID with her, hoping not to provoke laughter with it. Yes, it is a Laptop with a screen which only can do 320x200x2, modern computers have more RAM in the graphics card than this one as hard drive and probably a bigger processor cache than the RAM of this thing, but it is hers she bought it from a neighbour for less money than it would cost to bring her stationary computer here and for most things it still suffices. She decided to ask someone else whether they already made it into the LAN. She decided to knock at room #3 since they are direct neighbours and from her experience professional soccer players rarely know what DHCP is.

OK, well it looks like I'm going to skip the Googling part. Rej, when/if you Google you should find that he's a tabloid-gracer (say Brad Pitt-type importance) and very important figure in the VDB, lots of influence.

OOC: Great minds post simultaniously! :> First she needs to get her 'net running

The idiocy of Ryan’s words astonished Richard. “No offense?” How could those words he had spoken next be construed any other way than offensive? This brat could not possibly be royalty, as he had not the faintest idea of how a royal should conduct oneself.

The encounter had revealed plainly to Richard that he was no longer in the Dominion. Had anyone said those words to him there, they would be their last. Here he did not have his uncle’s name behind his words. If there was disobedience, then he could do nothing. He only hoped that the others at this university realised how to treat a prince.

Trying to hide his embarrassment, he found his room by himself and locked himself in it. The room was absolutely disgusting to him. The walls and ceilings closed in to terribly cramped rooms, and there hung not a single piece of tasteful art.

Hardly a minute had passed before he was again disturbed with a knock on the door. “Let him in,” he vocalised, but he quickly realised that no majordomo was on the other side of the door to open it for him. He had to do it himself.

He thought that he would meet the guards, who surely would have become impatient by now and had entered the building to search for him. He had hoped for more time away from them, but he knew he would have to confront them again eventually. After getting up from his seat he slowly made his way to the door, unlocked it, and opened it a few inches to see who was on the other side.

He was startled to find that instead of a duo of Royal Guards, he had been summoned to his feet by a scrappy brown wench. He was at that moment struck by the terrible irony of his situation: a prince who, out of fear of his own vassals, fled the country and is now living in a glorified hut and waiting on some woman plucked out of an exotic tribe. Had only Shakespeare witnessed Richard’s life, what great comedies and tragedies could have been produced!

“Yes?” queried the Prince after taking it all in.

"he? I must have misunderstood the room number" Syku thought. She made a clicking sound before addressing him since he from what she overheard valued etiquette. "Good morning. We happen to be neighbors, I live next door" she pointed in the direction "and so I thought we should get to know each other - and I wondered whether you have any clue in 100 how to connect to the LAN here."

OOC: i know that things like one in 100 is not said in English, but she often translates things too literally.

OOC: Northern Colonies, I'm going to leave. Just come right to Cotenshire's dorm. Oh, and Cotenshire, no offense but your guy's really easy to pick on.

IC:

Finding the door open, Ryan walked right in, hoping to make a new start with this Prince Richard guy. "Greetings, Prince Richard. I am technically Prince Ryan. And, hello Syku."

This is interesting, thought Richard. She is, in fact, not a servant, but a fellow student. What must the quality of education be in this place? Everyone had thought that the Prince would learn more by remaining in the Dominion, and Richard was starting to believe them.

She had odd customs and manners of speaking, but that is to be expected of those who have not felt civilization’s embrace. Richard remembered that even the lowest person had dignity, and this one was evidently too ignorant and young to yet know her place. He would not be too hard on her if only because there was no one else around on which to dump her.

“Well, I have only been here on this campus for a few minutes so of course I would not know.” An insane thought crept in to his head, and he spontaneously acted on it. “If you can take me to where it is, then maybe I could figure it out.”

He had no clue what the repercussions of his suggestion might be. Did he actually want to venture in to the den of this woman? She did not seem to have an ounce of malice within her, and if the guards did enter the building, they would be able to figure out that Richard was in Dorm 3 quite easily. This was his best hope of eluding them for some more time.

As Richard opened the door further he saw that Ryan had come up on them. He was not exactly who Richard wanted to see at this moment, but he seemed somewhat more polite this time. After he had addressed them, he replied, “From where do you know this woman?”

"Hi Ryan! Do you get the 'net working at your place?" she showed her laptop. "This gem does not exactly cooperate." She turned around to the person who apparently was Prince Richard. "We met earlier already and talked a bit."

"Um, I met her about an hour ago."

"Hi Ryan! Do you get the 'net working at your place?" she showed her laptop. "This gem does not exactly cooperate." She turned around to the person who apparently was Prince Richard. "We met earlier already and talked a bit."

"Yes, I did, however, I have a Mac. What do you have?"

"This system is as old as creation. An advansid with XARON as operating system." She gave her voice a tone of mock-excitement: "Entire 4 Megabytes of RAM! 7 Megahertz! And 50 megabytes harddisk!" She kept on smiling when something dawned on her. "But I think Mac and this one are using Unix so it should be the same!"

OOC: I assumed Mac OS X here.

OOC: I assumed Mac OS X here.

OOC: I have no clue. *going to Apple.com* Well, he has MacBook Pro. Sure, whatever.

IC:

"OK, then," said Ryan. "Can I please have the laptop?"

Prince Richard was flabbergasted, to say the least. He knew the language these two were talking in was English, but he only understood half of it. He remembered a similar experience when his coach was parked for a short time outside a pub in central Caen. The unrefined rabble have such strange slang due to their vulgar ways.

Enough of this, decided Richard, they could have their meaningless conversation later. The guards could walk in at any time. “I hate to interrupt, but I would like to see that lan you were talking about,” he said to the woman named Syku.

"Yeah, of course! I first need to switch her to English however. Rejistani might not be a language you are fluent in. We can try to set it up in my place, might have advantages."

"LAN is Local Area Network. If you have a computer, you need to connect it to the local network in order to reach the internet. Is that... something you understand?"

"Nope, I doubt I'm fluent in Rejistani, though I'd love to be," said Ryan smiling. "All you have to do is search for a network I believe. Through an Internet connector."

OOC: I'm not exactly sure what really happens. My dad does this type of thing. I watch. And forget. :D

"I guess it is not not that easy if we talk of 20 year old tech. This thing only has command line."

OOC: it's okay, Syku is a nerd...

“Of course I understand that,” said Richard in a confident manner.

So evidently this dealt with computers. He could not recall having seen a computer before, although his uncle had a fax machine. All he had to do was slip a piece of parchment into the fax machine and press a button, and then an exact copy would be made of it somewhere else. Might a computer be anything like a fax machine? He hoped this wench would show him before the guards came in. He was growing more paranoid of their motives by the minute.

"Really?" asked Ryan sensing weakness. "Do you have a computer?" He looked around the room. "Anyway, can I please have the computer Syku? Unless you can do it yourself."

"Just a minute, I need to switch her to English first." She opens and starts the little machine, then puts it on the ground and hacks some things into it. The text in rejistani alphabet remains, but on the lower part of the screen something appeared:

lanet>

"Ah great, now it speaks English. Lanet is this user."

"Ahh," said Ryan. "May I use it?"

Carefully she hands him the antique system. Lanet was a very retricted user on this system (it was the diminutive form of elan, her brother so it had almost no rights), but earlier, she gave him the rights to use the tools to set up the 'net.

Ryan started to type away at the keyboard. "There, look," he said as words flipped up onto the screen. It read: LOCATING LAN NETWORK, LOCATING, LOCATING, FOUND! INTERNET ACCESS AQUIRED.

"There you go!"

OOC: I assume we went somewhere were he could plug her in?
IC:
"Ah wow! It uses DHCP. Thank you!" she tested it by pinging hanineskamari.jsk.km.rj, it worked. "Where have you learned to use ifconfig? It is not a skill most people have."

OOC2: We could of course meet in IRC or jabber-conference to RP this if we all are online. Idea?

OOC: Um, sure. What is IRC or jabber-conference? :( or ifconfig? Forget it.

IC:

"I spend a lot of time around computers," Ryan said, thinking of when he repaired his dad's laptop that allowed an important invasion to take place.

OOC: Um, sure. What is IRC or jabber-conference? :( or ifconfig? Forget it.

OOC:
IRC: Internet Relay Chat
Jabber: an instant messaging protocol like AIM, Y!M or MSN. If you have g(oogle)mail, you have a jabber account.
ifconfig: interface config. the program which is used to set up network connections on Linux

IC: "That is great! I do as well. At home, I have a LAI, which is better by orders of class. I use if mostly for programming and internet." a few keystrokes make the computer change to a weird writing system which goes vertically and looks a bit like arabic if turned by 90 degree. "but the one at home does not support seleken."

"Um, Ryan Getzlaf. And you are?"

OOC:

Yah, the clocks are synched to your computer's time. So your computer is a couple minutes ahead of mine. I hate it when this happens.

"John. John Mackason. Nice to meet you."

He gave his hand, presumably for a handshake.

"So, what are you studying?"

He gave his hand, presumably for a handshake.

"So, what are you studying?"

Ryan shook it. "Let's see, I'm studying Politics. My father's in the government. I'm Ryan Getzlaf. Where are you from?"

"E kiu..." she hahhehed (which is a term of foreigners to describe the way rejistanis often transfer the essence of what they want to say not in the words but in the tone of the voice. Neither E nor kiu has a real meaning, but together it means something like 'well' or 'Okay then') "I'll tell my parents that I arrived. I need to han." (han sounds like run but it comes from the rejistani term 'han which means 'to get to/to reach' and is an accepted term in the kireshi/Progressan English) She shut her compter down to go into her room.

OOC: Is it too late to join?

OOC: Is it too late to join?
No, you still can.

No, you still can.

OOC: Thank you very much, i will post my character right now

In her room, she connected, started a browser and in another session her Jabber-client. Ah great, her mother was online.

=> Mum, are you present?

She started yacy and googled with it for the name of Ryan. Of course it took her 5 attempts to get the name right because like a japanese person will split a foreign word in katakana-symbols, she split the foreign name up in Isesi syllabics: Ry-en K~het-sə-la#. Fortunately, a good soul contributed to the isesi-speaking Wikipedia and added an alias page with the syllabic version of the name. Syku breathed in when reading the article. Now that was something she did not expect... she had no respect for any political authority because she saw them come and go in her own country with an astounding frequency. In pre-revolutionary times, a first lentine was good if she survived two months as head of state (where 'survived' is purely metaphorical), in post-revolutionary times, the legislature period was short not only for the first lentines but everyone in office. The idea that someone stays in an influential position for a longer time was something she mentally understood, but never really imagined. "Kiu,,," Suddenly her computer beeped, she changed the session:

<- Sykuju! Good to read you!
=> I just arrived and connected my
system to the 'net
<- How is ViZion?
=> Laaaaaj...
<- what does my daughter mean?
=> That she barely arrived and does
not have an opinion yet.
<- How was the flight?
=> It was okay.
=> Except that a really fat guy sat next
to me in the plane to Machinegrad.
:/
<- oh, that was not good!
=> yeah! Meh, it was better later. Even
got a place at the window.
<- You did not... improve your chances for
that?
=> With an ADVANSID? You're kidding!
<- I am :)
<- How are your fellow students?
=> Haaa...*
<- suu?**
=> mee ii***
<- mee suu? :>
=> mee! what do you expect after such a
short time?
<- first impressions!
=> I do not know. This guy next to my
room seems to be okay, but the other
side... he seems to be very...
arrogant. :/ :\ :|
<- ah.. it is surely just an impression
=> sure :|
=> Gotta logoff!
=> Va veka!
<- Va dary!****

OOC: The jabber session was of course in Isesi. Here are some things, which I could not really translate:
* well/hmmm...
** what?/eh? (su is a question word in rejistanian)
*** is supposed to mean 'mesit' the reply mee suu is an untranslatable pun
**** literally: "Do (things/it) well!" - "Do (things/it) great!"

IC: Syku decided to disconnect her ADVANSID and to orient herself on the campus. She surely would not be the only one planning that.

Joshua walked into the campus of the ViZion University in Vitalita confident and self-assured. His long, black hair was tied into a 'horse-tail' behind his head, otherwise he was perfectly suave and bussinesslike – his black-and-white suit looked as if was sewed specifically for him (it was, by the Church tailor), and his teeth gleamed in perfect ivory-white. He looked around curiously. The first thing, of course, would be to and try and find his dorms. Now, how does one pick out a local that knows what is where?

A little about you: Well, I came from what is not the best of means. I am Brittonian, which you know. I am interested in sports, mostly rugby union. I played it for a couple years in secondary school. I tried very hard to attain my grades. I took several advanced courses. Although New Brittonia has free education on the university level, I decided to broaden my horizons. I enjoyed the American television show CSI: Miami, which is aired on New Brittonian TV. Because of this interest, I wish to be a forensic anthropologist.

Joshua walked into the campus of the ViZion University in Vitalita confident and self-assured. His long, black hair was tied into a 'horse-tail' behind his head, otherwise he was perfectly suave and bussinesslike – his black-and-white suit looked as if was sewed specifically for him (it was, by the Church tailor), and his teeth gleamed in perfect ivory-white. He looked around curiously. The first thing, of course, would be to and try and find his dorms. Now, how does one pick out a local that knows what is where?

OOC: Maybe he looks at the front desk. :)

NB, just come on in.

IC:

Ryan walked out the door. He though he'd get a pizza at Little Caesars, and then cruise around. He walked through his dorm door, out, and saw a guy standing there.

"Hi, you must be waiting to get a dorm," said Ryan. "Can I help you?"

OOC: Wasn't Ryan just talking to Me?

IC: "I'm from the Northern Colonies. Looks like I won't be studying with you, I'm doing Maths and Psych."

OOC: Wasn't Ryan just talking to Me?

IC: "I'm from the Northern Colonies. Looks like I won't be studying with you, I'm doing Maths and Psych."

Well, you guys are on and off. Ryan is in several spots at once. Let's say he's with you.

"I'm from the VDB. Well, I was going to get a pizza and cruise the campus, see everything. Want to come?"

Syku took a map of the campus and and her purse, left the room, locked the door and went outside. She felt strange, but did not admit even to herself that she missed her parents. She decided to go to the buildings, she would later spend a lot of time in and thus went into the direction of the maths faculty.

"Hey, Syku, want to go get a pizza and go around campus?" asked Ryan. "Just hop in my car (http://www.exoticcars.ws/cars/bugatti-veyron-front.jpg)."

OOC: I just want to say that I'm leaving tonight to go on vacation for 6 days. Getting back a day before school starts. Hence, this could be my last post in this thread for awhile.

"Ha... just wanted to get an impression of this place, but hey, why not?"

The inane pursuits of the two commoners before him quickly bored Richard. They were so obviously lacking in proper culture. Perhaps the one who had feigned a princely birth did so in hopes of gaining more favour in the eyes of Richard and therefore being invited to learn of noble manners and conduct.

The Prince was determined to find someone who could alleviate the gross vulgarity of his experiences thus far. He was doubtful as to whether either Ryan or Syku knew of any genteel individuals worthy of hosting a Prince, but he did not know who else to ask.

He questioned the two of them after coming away from the computer, “Pray tell, know you of any house of noble blood within this area that is suitable for the acquaintance of a man so refined as myself?”

Syku looked confused at the question, she hahhehed the equivalent of 'give me time' while she thought about this sentence. She felt slightly annoyed about this. The Isesi never had a tradition of nobility: the chiefs in the pre-rejistania era were determined in contests and ruled until death, the lentines in rejistanian times were elected and the lentines in post-rejistanian times chosen. The idea of a social status which differs by sheer chance of birth was shocking to her. As if Nenerivakansa came down and told her the words, she suddenly knew what to reply: "The ground and the sky around us are the same, everyone of us drank raw milk, and in the end Jaortirkansa will take us all with him. Why do you value nobility more highly than humanity?"

The woman’s response showed typical pagan thought. Were she not so far below his notice, he would have her go and be baptised. Richard decided against responding to her query, for she was inciting a debate over a subject on which she knew nothing. Instead, he pressed his search for a respectable family.

“Know that my Christian God could smite your pagan one. If you know of no one whose manners do not offend, then you are of no use to me.” Then, addressing Ryan, he asked, “Might you know of anyone I would fancy meeting?”

"Wow, you assume they both exist! I would have dared to hope for so much syncretism from a monotheist."

Richard did not know who was worse between the pretender to royalty or the heathen tribal wench. Instead of rejoicing at a moment where she may bask in the glory of the Royal Personage, Syku acted indignant and ungrateful. The thought struck the Prince as preposterous and insane.

“Do you not understand that this instant is likely to be the most important one your wretched life has or will ever experience? It is your opportunity to glean from my character the propriety your disgusting life so greatly needs! For both your sake and mine, let us quit the quarreling and I shall give you the chance to redeem yourself in the eyes of God.”

Richard held out his hand for her to kiss, but turned his eyes away, unable to witness the gross humiliation.

OOC: lol, Richard with superior complex meets Syku with equality complex. I think this is hillarious!
