Saint Poemandres Boarding School

[DownpourLiar]

Carolina heard the car approaching before she saw it and was a little surprised to see it slow down when it reached her. ?Would you like a lift?? asked the driver inside with what she suspected was a student, probably his son, sitting next to him.

?Thank you sir,? she said remembering her manners. Remember Carolina, appearance is everything and manners make up half of that, rung her mothers voice in her head. ?But I wouldn?t want to be a bother. I?m only a mile or so away anyways,? she said, secretly wishing that she had taken him up on the offer. She lost grip of her trunk when she stopped, knocking it to the ground. It sprung open, a few of her books and electronics falling out. Perfect, I haven?t even arrived at the school and people already know what a klutz I am, she thought, cursing her luck. She bent down to pick everything up, her hair cascading over her face in hopes that it would hide the pink tinge rising to her cheeks.

The girl declined the initial offer, but Rupert wasn't having any of it. "Nonsense, it's no trouble at all. Sven, help her pick up her stuff and load it into the trunk, would you?"

Crap, this could take a while. Sven knew his dad wasn't going anywhere for a while unless the girl changed her mind very quickly. But, seeing no other option, he got out of the car and began helping her pick up her things. He could see she was getting embarrased (or at least, he thought it was embarassment,) so he tried to put her mind at ease.

"Listen, my dad's just trying to help, but continue to decline his offers and he may start grating on your nerves. Just a word to the wise. Name's Sven, by the way. What's yours?"

Wow. This is going well! I never could have imagined it going so well! I thaught about posting, but men, you are doing an awesome job here. I think I will let you keep up with that some more.
I mean, wow.

DownpourLiar, you especially right now: LOVED your first post. Sorry for not putting you into my introduction, I must have missed your sheet.

Also Gorrister and TheMax, your dialogue-ing skills are AMAZING. I can totally imagine that scene as a part of a movie or something.

All of you are doing a great job!

For future reference, you might want to consider using spoilers to hold posts like that, as they might break the flow of the RP. Just a suggestion.

"How do you know it was a vampire?" he said under his breath just loud enough for her to hear, "It could have been anything with a set of fangs".
Sam smiled at her showing his fanged teeth, "I'm here because it came to me in a dream," he said honestly.

This is shapeing up to be great.

"Hero of war, yeah that's what I'll be."
These words were what the curious faun in the passenger seat of the black, sleek car was humming. His music taste was very broad, and he enjoyed a multitude of genres, but right now he felt like listening to an acoustic song.
"Hey, Cromwall," the Shader next to him said.
"Hmm?" Sander replied, lifting his headphones just enough to be able to hear him.
"Could you please not hum along?"
"Heh, well. I could, but the fact is, I can't," the boy replied, slowly starting to put back the headphones, smiling at the man.
"I mean it," the man said, already turning back to look at the road, smiling, as if to show that he really wasn't bothered that much.

Upon arrival, the faun noticed that no one was there, save for a student with white hair, and another one with black.
"I guess you drove too well," the faun turned around, looking at his driver, summoning a big smile once again.
"That's what you get with me," the man replied, turning away, the car starting to make the noises of an engine starting, as the wheels started turning.
"Wait!" Sander yelled, running after the car.
"Wha-oh, yes."
"Yes, my stuff."
"Well, get them quick," the man said extremely quickly, as Sander almost didn't hear him, but figured out what he said.
"Where's he in such a hurry for?"

As the trunk of the car opened, Sander picked out, with a great swing, his bag. It was generally soft all around, but had a few solid spots. One of those, the place of where his toothbrush was located in one of those special boxes, hit him on the hip when he pulled out the bag.
"Damn bag," the boy grumbled under his breath, quickly grabbing his guitar case, and closing the trunk.
"I'm done!" he yelled, turning around and walking towards the school already, as he heard the sound of a car driving going more distant, and distant, as a new one seemed to be closing in from the other side.

Sander had no idea where to go, or what to do. He decided he had time to socialise later, so he walked merrily right next to the school door, spectating everyone else's arrival.

I'm sorry I was so late, I was kind of busy.

Also, something should be done about the first page. I'd really need a list of all the participants in one post, to quickly see who's who.

Out of curiosity,are we allowed human technology?
Like a Ipod?
And I apologize for my absence,catching up,plus sleep and family.

The van finally pulled up at the school and the gravel crunched under it's tires as it came to a stop.
Rhoda looked out the window and smiled.
It was good to be back.

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

"Are you excited about your third year little sister?"

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

Stowing her guitar away and getting her things together, Rhoda replied,
"Hells yeah. How about you bro? You reckon you're finally gonna land yourself a girlfriend this year?"

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Cornelius shrugged.
"Who cares?"

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

"Typical Cornelius." Rhoda thought to herself.
On one hand, Rhoda knew that a relationship in and of itself was neither important nor impressive. One the other hand, her brother was WAY too stuck-up for his own good.
Still, she quickly pushed it from her mind as she got out of the van. She kissed her mother goodbye and gave her father a bear-hug before turning around and looking at the school she'd grown to be so fond of.
She noticed a faun hanging around near the entrance (was it Sander or Xander?) and she could hear several more cars approaching from the road behind them. She got her backpack, her guitar-case, her suitcase and oversized leather sack filled with odds and ends, and felt at home.

Cornelius picked up his trunk,placed his fedora on his head and jumped out the van after hugging his parents,he started to follow his sister.
May as well be near someone I trust

(was it Sander or Xander?)

Sander.

"A..guitar-player?!" Sander muttered to himself in surprise, jumping onto his feet, hoping to get the attention of the ginger-haired girl.
"What odd clothes. She's beautiful, though," Sander continued talking to himself.

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Cornelius heard someone talking,he turned to who he had heard,he saw a faun standing away from him,he shrugged and continued to walk.

Carolina looked up at the boy helping her through her bangs, "Wicked name Sven, I'm Carolina. Thanks for the help by the ways, I guess I'm a little on the clumsy side," she said, her voice trailing off when she realized she was starting to ramble. She locked up her trunk, having placed everything back, and stood up, running a hand through her hair as she looked at the car. "Well I wouldn't want you to have to be late because of me, as long as you're sure it's alright," she said with a warm smile. Carolina helped place her luggage in the trunk and followed Sven into the car. "So, I take it you're a student at Saint Poemandres too?" she asked more out of chivalry then true curiosity. Based on the hair he had protruding from everywhere, he was most likely a werewolf, or shape shifter of sorts, so of course he had to have been a student here.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad it fitted in okay. Should we all wait at the entrance of the school for further instruction before going in or should we just settle ourselves in as we arrive?

 

[Gorrister]

Max came to a halt at the entrance of the school and stretched. Turning round to Nathan, he noticed the skeletal boy looked right at home smoking his pipe. Smiling, he took the pipe and stuffed it into his leather satchel which hung lazily over his furry chest. Some people were approaching the doors, but he paid them no mind. He lazily leant against the giant stone colums and sighed.

"Something tells me this school is gonna be anything but chill." he said, noticing what could only be described as an Angel approaching the doors. She had beautiful pristine white wings which folded neatly across her back. "So how bout it Nathan? Wanna see if we can end up roomies? I don't take up much room, and everything I own is in this little satchel." he said smiling.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

Her baggage was bulky, but somehow Rhoda managed to carry it with a surprising amount of dignity.
The sun heated the gravel under her bare feet and she enjoyed the pleasant warmth.
Now close to the door, she approached the young faun and said "Don't tell me...Sander, right?"

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

Cornelius looked to his sister,judging whether she'd be okay on her own.
He shrugged and walked off to find somewhere to sit.
If I have nothing to do I may as well wait for something to happen

You may continue if you want to. It seems like you still have a lot of potential here! Whenever you want me to interfere, just say. You are free to enter the school, invent teachers and friends, whatever. Do what makes the drama roll!

As for Lycanthropes question: yes, the assumption is that all of you are at least somewhat familiar with how the modern world works.
