"I apologize I must have misread the information" the brown eyed boy says politely

"I apologize I must have misread the information" the brown eyed boy says politely
"Try to read your class schedule more carefully," she said with what might almost be amusement.
"I believe the door to the Headmaster's office has just appeared on the wall behind you. It has a tendency to migrate. If you will excuse me, children, I have a great deal to do in preparation for tomorrow's new student orientation."
"enchantment has always been a fascinating subject." Umbri answered. "you have a pair of prospective apprentices right before you." the nymph dhampir commented with a smile. curtseying again. her relatively small figure making it obvious that she wasn't fit for heavy duty work. "what are your guidelines on the use of enchantment on the campus grounds?" the seemingly young and sickly half undead fey asked.

Miss Jones stopped and turned back around. "Well, then make sure not to be late to my class. As for guidelines, do not take control of the minds of your fellow students except with permission as part of a supervised class exercise. We've had enough of that sort of trouble. You may use charm or suggestion or calm emotions as a means of self-defense, but otherwise no meddling with your fellow students."
The boy's eyes fall to the floor and he mutters "I will remember" as he turns to go to the Headmaster's office
"i too shall try to remember. Miss Jones. i apologize if i rubbed you the wrong way." Umbri responded as she curtseys one last time before heading towards the headmaster's office. "please forgive me."
He shrugs with one shoulder
"It's nothing, you did nothing to require apologies."
knocks on the door, three sharp taps, then relaxes into a pose that shows he is used to waiting a long time for people to respond
Valiste leans on the wall nearby, concentrating on the ball of flames in the palm of his hand so it doesn't go out of control, waiting behind both of you
Umbri looks back. "please put the fireball away, i don't wish to be punished before my first day because another new student was too busy playing with heat. please dismiss it and do not light it in my presence a second time unless you honestly feel your life is in danger. i don't wish to be punished for any arson your actions lead to." she told the figure waiting on the wall behind her and Trei.
He looks at you "Would if I could, but it's hard to maintain even this small, I'll keep it in check though" He clenches his fist around the flames, making them as small as he can manage.
raises eyebrow at dhampir...
"Did you find your box?" He asks
He smiles sheepishly "Um...funny story about that...ya' see I forgot I could teleport it to me. so I ran all over the academy for nothing"
Ryckart walks through the front gate of the grounds and crosses the courtyard, head on a swivel, taking in the architecture and any other sights such as flora and fauna. Looking for a sign directing new students. He continues through the front door of the main building, where he runs into what appears to be a woman of some authority speaking with some students.
"Hello. I am Ryckart. I am looking for the admissions office," he said, curtly.
Ryckart appears to be a human mage, wearing loose-fitting clothes of one who hails from the desert, and notably wearing a brown halfcloak whose gold embroidery dances about on it, as well as a gold-mithril amulet with strange sigils and pictograms on its chain.
"Headmaster's office is right in front of us, but you may need to knock hard to get his attention" Valiste says, not taking his eyes off the wisps of fire seeping through his fingers.
"I see. Thank you."
Ryckart stays standing where he is and raises his hand and makes a tapping gesture with his fingers, and three loud raps are heard on the door.
From some distance away the students can feel the ground shake a small slightly, its regular shake, slight out if they looked at a cup of water they could see the ripples,
thud .....
thud .....
thud .....
If any of the students has very good eye sight and looks, some way away they may see this
Gargantuan thing slowly making its way to the School, topping from time to time as it steps around things so as not to damage the local Flora and Fauna not to mention the locals themselves and their homes.
thud .....
thud .....
thud .....
Its slow going for the thing.
"Your welcome"
Raises an eyebrow at the gesture and noise, summoning my obsidian box to me and tucking it under my arm
After the third knock, the door swings open smoothly to reveal the Headmaster's office. A set of chairs, one for each of the new students, is seated before Ryo's desk.
"Come in, please, and have a seat! Welcome to Avalon Academy. I am Headmaster Antairus, and it is a pleasure to have you attending my school."
The Headmaster is a okay-looking man with red hair and a intricate crimson tattoo covering half of his face. He smiles warmly at everyone.
I step inside with a nod and sit in the leftmost chair.
"I am Treisdan Achdarach" the brown haired human says

Anthony is practically beside himself with excitement. Yeah, it was fun hanging around older students, but after a while they got boring(and annoyed that he'd always seem to be around), so the appearance of a bunch of kids his own age was great! He didn't have a lot of time to hang out with them because of homework, classes, and learning how to take over the betting rings, but he didn't care.
the nymph enters the office. "i brought my filled out application form, my relevant medical information, as noted by my uncle's private apothecary, and a list of any relevant habits i am to inform you of. such as crafting handmade tailored dolls in the classroom after finishing my work. some people might find some of the dolls a little offensive, but i do perform a little puppetry on the side."
Ryckart enters and takes an available seat.
"Greetings Headmaster. I received the application message and made my way here. I am Ryckart."
He walks inside, standing off to the side, his left hand clasped tightly shut. "Good morning headmaster, my name is Valiste Morrette"
Looking down the hallways of the academy, the kitsune seemed to be rather excited and somewhat giddy; finally, the place where he could prove that he is the best in all competitions! Trickery, pranks, combat, swimming, eating, running, jumping, climbing, art, math...everything! And all he had to do to start this journey was to see some headmaster? Piece of cake! How hard could seeing some guy in a robe or something be?
Krisilanni Rashira decided that he would be in his true form, saving his altered form for later; it could be useful that no one knew at the time. He was also glad to see that he wasn't stopped and searched, as he wasn't quite sure if having a ring of invisibility and a dagger hidden in his pockets was frowned upon. He needed both, though; the ring, because he hadn't gotten his latent ability to turn invisible just yet, and the dagger in case he needed to cut himself and let his black blood flow.
Guessing from a group of people that looked to be his age gathered around some room, he had found the headmaster's office. "Alright, best of the best has finally arrived!" he announced rather confidently, and perhaps rather arrogantly, as well. "When do I--" He cut himself off, as he thought he spotted someone that may have been of the undead; his eyes narrowed, and one hand slowly reached into his pocket where his dagger was hidden, just in case.
How hard could seeing some guy in a robe or something be?
So far you see two people in robes... both male... me and Ryckart...
he thought he spotted someone that may have been of the undead
and two dhampirs....
Glad i could help out the "best of the Best"
Thud ...

Crunch!
"Sorry, ill pay for the as well"

David knocks (the action not the spell) on the door or door frame if the door is still open/when it is opened, he looks in
"hello? is this the place we're supposed to go for orientation?"
he is wearing a fairly obviously magical or at least expensive if mundane, robe, depicting Linorms and dragons in flight with a fire pattern at the bottom.
under the robe (it's open in the front) there is armored clothing of an eastern styling (for this think Zuko of Avatar)
he is floating roughly three inches above the ground, has large wings and is quite tall.
coming in after him is a green and purple Psicrystal floating and humming gently,
The young half-elf is seated in the school cafeteria, enjoying an early lunch: one which would be appropriate for a person with a frame three times the size of the middling height girl. Her shoulder-length blond hair is somewhere between curly and wavy, and has an unfortunate tendency to fall in front of her face, only to be brushed back repeatedly. She's clothed in a simple navy blouse and mid-length pleated skirt. A gemstone hangs around her neck - what appears to be a diamond with a splash of blue at the center. While at first glance Vai seems absorbed in her lunch and the book she's reading, she keeps looking up and smiling to passing people - perhaps friends or acquaintances.

"You will place that dagger back in it's sheath immediately young man, or I will personally see it melted down." A commanding female voice from down the hallway causes the kitsune to look back, and sees a tall, prim, dark-haired elf girl walking with purpose towards the Headmaster's office. "We do not tolerate violence against fellow students: no matter what their state of being may be."
Tyrrin stops in front of the kitsune, all business. "My name is Tyrrin Denulia, I am a member of the student council. If the Headmaster is currently with someone, I'll ask you to wait patiently. The new term is starting soon, and he'll likely be busy for a good while yet. If patience is not your strong suit, I would be happy to give you a tour of the school, Master...?"
A rather roguishly handsome young man walks into the headmaster's office. He's got curly dark hair, pale blue eyes and a short goatee. He's plainly dressed, in a loose fitting white shirt and comfortable looking pants, though there's an expensive looking belt round his waist. The quarterstaff he carries is covered in intricate design of swooping ravens.
"Best of the best? Not sure if you're that or not as I seem to often take that title." He says with a grin at Krisilanni.

Rosa finely gets to the back of the school where the sport area is located, as she got close she could see the new School intake making its way in the front. She had to get the Teaching suit into the new sports hall, before the staff Pre-Student orientation meeting. She powered off the mean cores and let the suit cool. Next letting the data stream sync with her prime mind cores, then she cut off the censurer feed from the Suit.
Someone was meant to come out and meet her,
No missing the 200' tall yellow suit.
so she would just wait until they showed up.
So some time to read over the student files Headmaster Ryo had sent her after he had contacted her with his strange Job offer.
She has said yes, it looked like fun and both staff and students seem very interesting. He offer of a place to do her research and study wile teaching PS and Tech history. She was hoping to sit in on the more theoretical classes the other staff had on offer, get a chance to learn from the best.
A teacher of kids that would be new, she was used to teaching grim combat types that where all ready to die for Ruler or glory. Kids, o well, But the headmaster did say they where not the normal kind of kids.
Now looking at the files she could see he was not joking, Some of them where up at power level 4 and 5, known as hard targets in the good old days. Take time and fire power to take em down, but that was then.
She started to read the files in more detail.
Some one will show up.

David is brushed past, he can feel the arrogance coming off the newcomer in waves, his eyes flare up,and the room gets warmer around him he steadies himself and the heat dissipates, and mumbles
:David simply sighs and enjoys the feeling of the magic simply washing over him, he's never felt so much ambient energy before, and it feels good to him. he settles to the floor, and looks around for a chair. if none is avalible he will lean against a wall and shift gravity (for him) to orient to that wall for maximum laziness:
"So this where I get my schedule, I am anxious to begin"
Ace tilts his head slighty at David, like he's trying to puzzle something out. "Oh look, some sort of psionicist. You don't honestly think you are better than me, do you?"
he chuckles, opening one eye to look at Ace "I do not simply think I know with a 86.3% degree of certainty, I do not particularly care to double check, but your arrogance just feels so sour, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. and while indeed I am a Psion, My greatest power lies in my arcane power, and that of my own body and soul. but please I seek not quarrel with you,"
after a small pause, his expression which previously looked relaxed, possibly a bit serious, turns quite jovial " I am sure you can content yourself with 2nd best first year, someone's got to be it"
They came out a hour later,
"All staff are go to the headmasters office, he's going to give one of his talks"
said a grumpy and old look human.
"Been told ta tell ya"
He was looking up at the suit, Rosa popped the command cover and dropped the 180' to the ground slowing just before impact. Old habits, standing up she walks over to the human.
"Right headmasters office, for his chat, got it and the headmasters office is?"
The Human points mouth open at the thing in front of him.
She nods at him
"Thanks"
The young half-elf is seated in the school cafeteria, enjoying an early lunch: one which would be appropriate for a person with a frame three times the size of the middling height girl.

While at first glance Vai seems absorbed in her lunch and the book she's reading, she keeps looking up and smiling to passing people - perhaps friends or acquaintances.
The young elven monk stepped into the cafeteria. Based off how old he looked he could easily be confused from an upper class men rather than a teacher. One of his arms held 6 open books with a bowl of salad sitting on top. The other hand was making marks in the top book just past the salad. Anyone could tell he was absorbed in what ever it was he was writing and multiple times he almost bumped into a table, just barely stepping out of the way to avoid hitting it.
"Excuse me but is this seat taken?" He looked up from his books to the half-elven girl as he asked. He slightly motioned to a seat at the same table as the girl but a few seats down.
Ryckart turns around and watches the exchange of "Ace" and "David" with no small amount of amusement. He says nothing, but smiles a bit and chuckles to himself on the inside.
"This should be amusing, at least. I know kids half our age that are twice as mature as these two combined. I thought this was a school for learning restraint... If that is to be the case, then I suppose these two will by vying for worst and second worst, heh heh heh," he thinks to himself.
"I kid I kid, just a bit of friendly ribbing, no?.... on the other hand, while we will have to test who is superior in most regards,and I will gladly accept most challenges in that regard, sounds like fun win or loose, My true form is better than yours, better looking too."
A beuatiful sunny yet crisp morning a giant owl drifts in for a landing a large saddle upon its back hoping off a small boy and a white furred baboon nearly as big as him and also with the boy an older monk in the traditional orange robes of the sky lord temple monks.
Are you sure this is the best master? the boy asks
Yes young Lang we have taught you all we can in the temple but your true talent still is locked within you. only you can find that power and understand the destiny the sky lord has placed before you.
He places his arm on the boy's shoulder as they walk toward the door.
I have had visions and I believe that the Sky lord has plans for you and he has gifted you with the talents to achieve those goals. It is a great honor to be one of the Sky lords chosen.
they pause at the door Thank you master Hito I will always remember your teachings the boy bids his farewell and bows to his master.
Master Hito returns the bow and leaves hoping back on the giant owl and they take off back to the Sky Lord temple high up in the mountains.
Lang looks at his friend and companion, his Baboon, Sun I don't know if animals are allowed in here i think it best you go over there by those bushes and stay there. I also don't know about weapons, here Sun take this with you. lang hand his staff to the Baboon, Sun, and he moves off to the area lang indicated and as the baboon takes what appears to be a fighting stance he seems to solidify into astatue resembling the monkey king.
"You think you are that good. Trust me. I guarntee you've never met anybody quite like me before. If you think you are as great as you believe, let us have a friendly duel after this meeting, shall we? Or are you all talk and no bite?"
As Rosa walks up the back gates she activates full 5D recording.
Rosa steps over the Human and walks on up-to the back games, where large
thing with claws, long teeth and armor looks up at her and says sharply.
"Name?"
"Rosa Luminass, PE teacher, I have a letter would you like to see it?"
"No need, we know who your all"
It says in a gruff voice.
"Can not really miss some thing that size"
Get out a box.
"You will need ID wile your on school ground. Its a complex magic sigil that.."
Rosa interrupts him
"Sorry Magic will not work, I know your very keep on it, but trust me it will be a wast of both our time. Don't you have and ID chip or badge?"
He looks up at her coldly
"A badge, humm, been a wile but we have some."
It calls out across the yard,
"HERE! ERIC! GET ME ONE OF THEM OLD BADGES, YOU KNOW THE ONES IN THE BACK OFFICE!"
The other gate keeper runs off and is soon back with a badge.
The thing with teeth fills out the badge and places it on a cover before handing it to Rosa.
"Its good for one term and then you will have to get it renewed"
Rosa takes it and places the tinny badge on her belt.
"Thanks, now have to find the Head Master office some kind of orientation."
The thing with teeth points.
"Take the second door, then down the corridor to the steps take them up then turn left and keep going until you get the main entrance if it should be around there, but it moves so you may have to ask."
She nods
"Thanks Ill see if I can find it, err will I fit as I am, its a real pain getting smaller."
He nods,
"Yep the building moves to fit any and all."
She picks up the sport bag she had taken with her and heads for the door.
Over the break, Ghalen tries to find things to do to occupy himself, obviously having no other place to go. He will have approached Jiminy to see if there is some work in town he can do to pass the time till the new term begins...he assures Jiminy he isn't a saboteur, and that he just wants work, anything to help pass the summer.
He'll spend his summer then working in the factory, living in town, and returns a week before second term, hoping to still have some quiet time to unpack, and get resettled.
Cassius spends his summer in the metal shop, making himself a set of gunsmithing tools, and working on molds for revolvers of various sizes...he figures it's easier to stay out of trouble by staying out of town, and, ya know, idle hands and all that...
