Chiro

Chiro's mother had asked her to clean out the back room, as they were unsure where anything was. She had been in there for about two hours, when she came across an odd painting. It was of a school. Below it said 'Caldwell Academy for the Magically Talented. Please Touch to Enter.' What did that mean. Intrugued she reached out to touch it. As soon as the tips of her fingers touched it, she let out a frightened gasp. The world around her faded, as she was being surrounded by plants, then water. Soon she was slowly decending to into a grassy field. However her kimono had been replaced with white robes. Slowly she reached the ground.

"W-What is going on?..." Unlike the other students, Chiro had not heard of this academy. Before her stood the building in the picture.

------------

Erik

The blond boy was walking back from a hard day at his work. His clothes were stained with oil, and his face was smeared with grease. As he walked back he went through an ally way. There he saw a painting. It seemed to call to him.

"Caldwell Academy... Meh, might be worth something."

The boy picked it up, intending to sell it. However he was blinded by a flash of light. In this bright world, he saw what appeared to be lightning bolts. The temprature was also fluctuating by an unatural degree. However, he too, soon found himself decending upon a grassy plain. A girl in white was below. His uniform had been changed to a sleevless Rustic red shirt. He wore a white cape, and his left arm was covered in armor, as were both shoulders.

"Well... This is something new..."
 
With a sigh, Lady Violetta spoke onc again to the students.
"I believe that we have more students that have arrived. Please excuse me for a few more minutes." Lady Violetta hurried outside to see two more students.
"Welcome to Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents. Rest of the students are in the Lecture Hall. My name is Lady Violetta and I am your headmistress. Who are you two if I may ask?"
 
"Chiro... My name is Chiro Usagami..."

The young girl gave a polite bow before and then was silent. She was confused, yes, but she was a bit to dumbstuck to even think of asking Erik on the other hand was a bit more sensible at the time. He by no means was horrified at never getting back, as he had nothing to get back to.

"Erik Wesile. Mind me asking what exactly happened? I just touched some random painting, and was brought here. Not to mention my clothes. I'm not complaining mind you."

Logan raised an eyebrow at the three other students in the room before taking her seat. She looked at the one called Liam, dressed in all black and shrouded in a large black hood. The girl was dressed in all green, and the other boy in varying shades of blue. "Must've missed the memo. I thought Halloween was over already." She said with a smirk, looking at Liam. Placing her hands on the little laptop she scrolled through the things she'd have to fill out and decide, thinking it over before she placed in any information. Looking around the room, she noticed a charred plant in a corner. Maybe the kids in here were special, like her. She tried not to snort at that thought. Of course they were special, they were dressed special. She looked down at her own ratty jeans and converse. For once, Logan felt like the only normal one in the room. She rubbed her fingers over the bridge of her nose. Maybe they'd at least turn out to be nice weirdos.
 
Jade just sat in her chair, leaning back while she looked around the classroom. To Zack, to Liam, to the charred plant, and to Logan. She remembered she still didn't have her gloves on, so she grabbed them and quickly slipped them back on. She didn't know why, but she felt naked without the gloves on. It was something about them that made her feel stronger, more powerful and more confident. She sure did love those green gloves, even if they looked like something that belonged on a green clown costume or a hideously fancy dress.

The emerald eyed girl took a very long strand of hair and began to twirl it within her fingers, incredibly bored and absent minded while she waited for Lady Violetta to return. She looked over to the newest person in the room, Logan was her name. She looked like one of those delinquents that often made fun of her for her hair. It was because of them that she had received the nickname "Jalapeño". Not just because she was green, but because she "packed a punch" so they said. If you asked her, it was a stupid nickname. However, given what happened between her and one of them, it was understandable. She looked over to see if Logan was having trouble with anything or wanted to know something. However, she was filling out the information already, removed the hand print things and bonded her Aura. Basically, she was set to go. Such a shame, the green haired girl had wanted to at least say one word to the other. Jade shrugged and turned her attention to her hair again. Hopefully later she'll be able to speak to the other and find out if "don't judge a book by its cover" will come into place.
 
Logan typed her answers out on the little laptop.
Desired Name: Logan Blake

Student / Citizen Rank: Newbie

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Skills you have acquired: Lockpicking, pickpocketing, wit

Certificates you have acquired: None

Chosen Career:

Logan chose to leave the last one blank as she had no idea what she wanted to do later in life. Typing all the answers hadn't been that difficult, although the skills had given her some pause as she couldn't think of much. What she had thought of for that category, she typed in with a smirk on her face. Done with that, she sat back in her chair, waiting for something else to happen.
 
Liam just sat their as the teacher left again. He was getting bored, he zoned out, forgetting people where even here with. He took off his hood and revealed his face, his snow white hair and his icy blue eyes. A strange combination for someone like him. He lifted up his hand and his hand caught on fire, images appeared in the flames like a bunny, bird, anything. It popped out his hand and began playing on the table, but only around him, leaving burnt footprints. He smiled, everyone could see, he forgot about everyone.
 
"You touch the painting of Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents. Please touch to enter. SO the painting assumed that since you had the two requirements to be admitted to the academy- a magical core and the touch to be admitted. Quite simple as that. The clothes must have been some underlying wish for rest of the class came as they were. It will happen from time to time so don't worry.
Chiro and Eric. Ok please follow me to the Lecture room." Lady VIoletta was please to note that neither one had been hurt, just a minor change of clothling as they fell.

"I am sure that both of you will soon catch up with the rest." she spoke as she entered the Academy.
"This area is called Entrance Area. It is sections off for a purpose. When you get your pet, you can catch it quicker if it should decide to take off." Lady Violetta spoke as she walked to the second door.
"This area is called the Common Area. We are in the Lecture Hall at the moment. Students, I want you to meet Chiro and Eric.
Zack, I want to see what you remember about the begining lecture so please tell our newest students what we went over so far then I will tell everyone about the equipment belts that I just passed out a few minutes ago. Jade will assist Chiro with her PLTs and Zack will assist Eric with his PLTs. Please raise your hands so that they know who you are."

After Chiro and Eric sat down, Lady Violetta went to get the PLTs after she put her protective gloves on of course. She sat one in front of Chiro and Eric then gave them the second box.
She kept one eye on Liam and his pyro tricks just in case.......
 
Zack was a bit lost for words as he scavenged his brain for the information needed. He frowned, sat back and rubbed his chin.

"Well, first of magic can be used for good and bad things. We should always be aware of the concequences of using our power. Our magic is only as strong as we are. Physically and mentally. We need to be fit to be able to have the stamina for continuous casting and mentally strong so as to visualize and use the power," he paused to think a bit more.

"Also we need knowledge to use magic. We need to know understand and know what we want to do, how we should do it and then actually do it. Also after graduating you'll be able to choose to stay at the Academy or work around this world as various things. The box the Lady just gave out is like a personal laptop which you have to imprint yourself onto," he mimicked the hand placing on his own.

"You''ll then have to fill in a questionaire thing and you'll be able to do everything you'll need with it in the Academy. Like choose a pet, et cetera." He took a breath and looked over to Lady Violetta to see if he missed something.
 
"Alright. Thanks. That doesn't seem too hard."

Erik opened his laptop, which had tow pieces of paper over two pads. He removed the pads, and placed his hands on them. It glowed slightly, as it registered him it seemed. Afterwards, he was asked to fill out his questionair. Which he answered with the following

Desired Name: Erik Vesile

At this one he somehow knew what he was capable of doing. And continued with the report.

Well he did his best to fill it out, anyway. After he finished, he turned to the group. "I should be more surprised about what has just happened. Anyone else not know they were coming here today? He already knew the younger girl was like him."
 
"I should be more surprised about what has just happened. Anyone else not know they were coming here today?"

Jade looked over to the blonde male and shook her head "no".

"I'm not one, I knew I was coming here. I didn't know I would have to touch a picture though. By the way," she waved a gloved finger, circling his attire and looking at him questioningly,"do you normally wear armor?"

She knew the answer to that question would be a "no", but she hoped he would explain how he was here wearing it.
 
“Now for the rest of the morning’s lecture. Be sure to listen carefully for I don’t want to repeat it. There are a few things that I want to cover before the tour of your new home. Then we will have lunch. After lunch we will go into town.” Lady Violetta began the next lecture.

“I know that none of you are thinking about your future career. But I want each of you to begin to think of what you think that you might like to do as an adult. In three short years, I will have a few specialized positions to give out. One will be Archives Specialist. I also will be sending out an Exploration Team. The Exploration Team will consist of a crew, Navigator, Astronomer and a Captain. I will also need a Governor for this Island.

What I would like for each of you to think of what you would like to be. Or what kind of magic you would like to use. There are many kinds of magic that I have not studied and perhaps Professor John or Professor Dar has some knowledge of the desired career.

Each of you will need to get Personal Achievement Classes in. These classes are designed to make you better-rounded person. One of the classes that you can take is Calligraphy and another one is Musical Instrument. These two classes are a semester long and have 5 points towards your Personal Achievement. Another one that you can take for 5 points is Auras Class and Magic Exploration. This is mostly an Independent Class. The only lecture that you will attend is the Introduction to Your Aura. The rest is Independent Study. There will be other ones such as Thought Transference Class which will be available in the future.

Here at Caldwell’s, we will have some rules to go by. Here are the ones that I have set up at this time.

1) Respect each other and yourself.

2) No dissing, put downs or negative thoughts or speech.

3) No fighting is allowed at all. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked.

4) Try to include as many students as you can into your daily activities.

5) All students are required to be in class on and prepared to learn. That includes having your wand and PLTs as well as being able to demonstrate your homework or class work.

6)

7) Obey the curfew. No ifs, ands or buts about this. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked.

8) Teachers are in charge and students are to obey them at all times. If you have a problem with a teacher, come see me. We will discuss the problems and find a solution.

9) Remember the golden rule:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

10) Keep your rooms neat and tidy.

11) Keep yourself neat and tidy. Both of these rules pertain to professionalism.

12) Do your own work and do not try to cheat. The end of the semester you will go through a testing chamber by yourself.

13) If you act like a child, you will be put on a demerit/merit system until you can prove yourself to be professional magic user. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked.

14) Ask questions and learn from other student’s mistakes. There are more than enough to go around!

“Let’s take a tour of the Academy. Each block of rooms are enclosed for a reason. The reason is for the protection of young pets that will be with you frequently throughout the day. This is the main Community Area.

As we leave from the Lecture Room, you will see the Research lab. In this room you will find scales, measuring tapes and testing equipment. This is where you will be for your independent study for Mythical Creatures Class. Of course I shall be around to assist you and answer any questions that you may have. I can offer various suggestions and tests to determine various things. But you must think of the idea. The reason is to make each of you think. This world will one day be expanding and you will be the ones who will be the explorers to new lands.

Next room is the dining room. As you can see there are many tables and you may move them around except for my table. Food will appear on your table after I ring the bell.

Most of you will use this area. It is the Student Lounge. It has various chairs, sofas and tables. On that buffet will be various foods that you may eat when you are hungry. You will be frequently hungry for magic will take a lot out of as well as the stress of what you are going through. Your pets will take a lot of care as well. You will not be pushed to do much the first 3 days besides moving in, getting to know each other, finding your way around town, and learning about your chosen pet.

This door is an automated sliding door. As you can see, it is blocked off from the third area. This is my office and the infirmary. That spot on the floor is where you ‘float up to’ wherever you are going. The Castle is sentient and will recognize each of you after this introduction ride. It will allow you to get on certain floors but not others such as my floor. The Floating Spiral Staircase has no steps. What you do is put your left hand on this banister. Speak where you want to go and you will float right up to that floor.

We shall go to Game Room Floor under this floor. Follow my example and join me there, please. ”

Lady Violetta stepped up to the railings, placed her hands on the banisters before speaking:

“Lady Violetta to the Game Floor, please.”

She rose up in a neat spiral until the students could not see her any longer.

“Step to one side, please as you arrive. Now that we are here, we shall take a quick tour. There are two kinds of video game rooms. Game Room One has Arcade type games such as pinball and Shoot the Duck. It is more of the quiet kind in that room. Game Room Two has the more modern video games. Across from the Game Room 2 is the Paintball Room. The next door is the basketball court and lastly the pool room.

Pets are not allowed here on this floor. You are on your own on this floor. If you need to have me here, you will have to page me mentally. Until you are able to project your thoughts, you will have to rely on a different method called hunt for or when you get your new phones, call Lady Violetta.”

Now for your bedroom floor. You may have any room that you like. Your room is sentient as well and will recognize your Aura after you place your two hands on the handprints on the chosen door. You may go inside and see what I have done for you. All rooms are the same. Everything is in pale blue but tomorrow we shall go into town and pick out new things. You will have a list to fulfill and a specialized cart. The cart will have a special device that you will use to claim a cart. Again the process is the same as your PLTs.

As you place the items in the cart, just scan them. It will highlight the items as you scan them. The aisles will be placed by each item on the list. If you want an item that is not on the list just type it in the search bar. Anything that is related to the item will show up. On this trip, I am allowing you to have extra items and money free. After this you will be given an allowance to use for your own things. Yu don’t even have to return the cart for it will belong to you. After you get back you will park the cart in a parking spot assigned to you by the Castle. That spot will send the cart to your room. In your room is a small cart closet. I’ll be here at this desk should anyone need me. You may talk or text me….. OH yes! You haven’t gotten your new cells yet. It’s on your list. My number is on all cells.” Lady Violetta ended her lecture for the time being.
 
(OOC: Maybe if that was shortened and not so many things to fill out, we might be able to post more...to be honest, I really don't want to read that much..especially on a phone..)
 
(OOC: Please such things in the OOC where I will explain my reasoning. This is for IC posts only. I do have my reasons.))
 
It had been a lot to take in. Rooms full of wonders and the promise of many other things to come. The only thing that Zack could do was follow silently, the only thing that made his presence known the steady clack of his staff on the floor. He had cringed hearing the multiple subjects, but was eager when he heard some that played to his strengths. One of those being water of course. He just about shivered with excitement at the prospect of one day commanding large water bodies and perhaps even soak Liam to the bone.

All the time while they were shown the various rooms and floors he couldn't help wondering what was in the box Lady Violetta had given out before going on her long speech. It was tucked snugly under his arm, uncomfortable enough to be a constant reminder. Finally they had arrived on the resident floor.

As soon as the Lady was done talking, Zack sped of to a room he felt was well situated. It was the final door on the left of the floor. He balanced his staff against his shoulder and pressed his hands flat on two, similar to that of the PLT, hand prints. A dull glow enveloped his hand as before and the door swung open, revealing a room quite disproportionate to it's outside size. It contained a bed, desk and chair but not much else. True to Lady Violetta's words everything was in a blue hue, the walls, floor and upholstery of the said furniture. It also had two windows.

Zack haphazardly set his laptop on the desk and threw his staff on the bed. The room he had chosen had a magnificent view. It stretched far over green land and he even imagined he was able to see the glimmer of water from a large lake or perhaps it was an ocean. He turned from the window and saw in dismay that the room didn't seem to have a bathroom, though he did recall he passed what seemed to be one on his way to the room.

Finally satisfied with his exploration he exited his room, PLT, box and staff with him once more to meet up with the Lady in hope that lunch would be the next stop.

Louise thanked the coachman as she got out of the carriage with her luggage. As the carriage drove away, Louise walked up to the picture and touched it, falling down onto the soft ground. She stood, dusting herself off, somewhat surprised at the change of clothes and that her hair was down. She wasnt surprised at a Picture Portal. Her elder sisters had used one to sneak out of the house at times. She stood and waited.
 
Logan followed behind the other students, lagging a bit. She barely paid attention to what the Lady was saying as she gave them a tour of the building. Stepping up to the magical staircase, placing her hands on the banister. She tried to be patient and pay attention but her mind was elsewhere. This was boring. That's when the magical stairway thing stopped and she now stood in a huge game room. Her ears pricked at the mention of video games and paintball as her eyes widened. Her fingers itched to play but she waited. She didn't want anyone to see her anticipation. Not that she cared what they thought, on the contrary, she wanted them to know she liked games so they would challenge her and she would annihilate them. A spark of electricity shot across her fingertips from the deliciousness of it all. Continuing on they came to the bedroom floor. Splitting from the group, she walked down the hall, headed to a door marked with a large 1. Placing her hands on the sensors that were also on her laptop, the door glowed and then slid back. She walked inside the room. It was a pale blue. She made a face. What a boring and hideous color. It would never do for her room, she'd have to remedy it immediately. She could see already what she wanted in her mind's eyes. Black walls, screamo band and alternative video game and movie posters littering the walls, dark decor and candles. She grinned. She would make this room a haven for her, something she'd never been able to do at the orphanage or any of the other schools. Logan set her stuff down on the bed. She would never admit it but this school excited her a bit.
 
Liam followed and listened a bit. But not on everything. He scanned the entire room. He was a bit excited but he really wanted to know where he could train. He was about to ask that till he heard the word "Lunch", his head shot straight.

He walked into his room and set the things down on his bed. He looked around and blew raspberries from his mouth. It looked simple but he could.change it. He looked around and looked at the clock "Food...sounds really..good right now.." he said to himself. He walked out with his PLT and other things he needs and walked out of his room. Hoping that soon, they'd be going to lunch. He caught up with Zack, "Dude...I'm hungry. Hoping we can skip this and eat then I want to find a training room to work on my Skills and train...very bored." he said. He was bored was also excited about the school but he'd never admit it to himself.
 
Lady Violetta mentally called out to all students.
~We have another student. Please your way down to the dining room to a pizza buffet. I will join you as soon as possible.~

Lady Violetta teleported to the front door. She needed to get a few servants like a butler to answer the door. Perhaps by next semester, she will be able to train one. Perhaps one of her students would like to work on this type of career.
"Hello there. Welcome to Caldwell's Academy of Magical Talents. My name is Lady Violetta. I will be your teacher and Head Mistress of the school. We have finished the main lecture but I can give you it fairly quickly. Please come in. May I have your name please?"
 
"Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière" she said quietly, following the headmistress. She picked up her luggage, walking along side her.
