[IC] Vampire Academy

[duskshine749]

Olyvyr had finished his registration a little bit ago, and had been spending his time just wandering the grounds and looking at the sights. He had done this before, but now he was really trying to make sure he knew where everything was. Since his family moved a fair amount he knew never to get too attached to a place. But now he'd be living here for the foreseeable future so he wanted to make sure he didn't get lost.

He was currently failing at that task, as he had found his way back to the registration building where he had started his day. But it wasn't all bad, before he was so focused on exploring he never even bothered speaking with anyone. And as his luck would have it he noticed two girls heading somewhere. Well, one was heading there, the other seemed to be getting dragged against her will. "Excuse me, hey," he called out to them, more so addressing the one in the lead, "two questions. Where are you headed and do you mind if I join?" Olly had never really had a friend before, they were never in one place long enough for him to find it worth the hassle.

Maple smiled at the pretty Vampire lady who got her and the half-vamp girl registered, before she started dragging her off again. "You better drink that. I'll open it for you if you can't, but you need it. Stop freaking out too, it won't help anything." Maple paused her speech when they were approached by some guy asking where they were going. "I don't mind if you tag along. I was, um," Maple paused for a fraction of a second as she realized she didn't even know the halfling's name, quickly deciding on a nickname to keep from seeming like an idiot. "I was just taking Lulu here to see the teacher's magic demos."

After a second Maple realised a way to get around the whole don't-know-your-name problem. Introductions! "I'm Maple, by the way. Like the tree. What's your name?"

Niall had found the train and had been at ease there, his parents had taken him and his siblings on trains before into the mountains. Aspen was here about somewhere but he wasn't very big on associating with his twin in such a place. He moved easily through the crowd as he was nearly a head taller than most of them here, especially the females. He picked up his ID card and filled out all the paperwork for the school officials. He listened carefully, apparently some of the teachers were going to do a demonstration of magic. He went purely to watch and see the difference in the magic his parents could do and what the teachers here were capable of. Niall's parents had gone here as well.

He strode easily to the area all the students seemed to be congregating to watch the demonstrations. His mother was a blood magic practitioner while his father practiced elemental magic. He watched intently as the did the demonstrations as well as making sure that he looked over the other students as well. He would like to have more friends here than at their community's school. Aspen had been super popular but he hadn't been nearly as popular there.

"Oh cool, I was meaning to try and find those, I was debating which of the magic classes I should take so the demos would be a good place to help my decision," Olly said with a smile. "I'm Olyvyr, but you can just call me Olly. It's nice to meet you, Maple and Lulu." Olyvyr was happy he seemed to have found some nice people already. He wasn't sure how difficult it would be to make friends, he felt relieved it didn't seem to be that hard of a task. "So Maple, since you seem to know where you're going, please lead the way."

After a long while, the first day was over. The festival was coming to a close and so students were sent to temporary dormitories. Tomorrow they would have classes; not necessarily the classes they will be taking for the rest of their time at the school, merely chances to see what courses they wish to take. They still needed to chose their class schedule before the end of the week however, and failure to do so will result in classes being chosen for them.

Though classes were suppose to begin at night (In order for vampires to freely roam without fear of the sun), there were morning classes for those curious. They were the following: Mental Magics, Illusion Magics, Calculus, and Home Economics. Students were told to find one of these classes to attend before the next class, which would be within an hour's time.

As for Donny, he was one of the vampires who woke up early that morning out of habit. He was used to waking up at 7 am for regular highschool, and was still adjusting to his vampiric nature. Getting dressed and having a breakfast of toast and blood, he decided that instead of going to calculus he was going to go visit the Illusion magic class. It pique his interest, and hopefully he'll be able to make some friends while he was there.

The Scarlet Briar Academy. Demetri opened the travel casket to behold the Academy. It had the Victorian architecture he was fond of. From the Assembly hall he had gone through the ordeal of registration and had his picture taken. This made his skin tighten. Normally a ten hour portrait was nothing to sit through. This flash was startling and made his jaw clench. Demetri's fist was also clenched, he had to remind himself to be calm. He was given a laminated card and directed to the outside after given a sheet to request certain electives. Most tedious he thought.

He looked at the classes and weighed each one for the insight they could offer him. Fathers will which was embedded in his subconscious forced some of his decisions. (Fathers will*)

Chemistry
Sociology*
Conditioning
Transformation night
Health and Wellness day*

Demetri looked for a room to call his. He preferred something with an unobstructed view of the night sky and a chair preferably stone. He had no servants here so the natural vampire strength of his family came in handy to carry his case up all those stairs. Standing in front of one of the faculty he Caught their gaze and spoke. "Please, excuse my interruption and allow me the (He pronounces 'the' word, 'Da'.) pleasure of introducing myself. I am Demetri Gio. Where might I find the rooms for students?"

@Satsuki
The faculty member mentioned that rooms were still being assigned and for now everyone has temporary arrangements. Until the "week's" end, everyone is more or less bunking in hotel rooms. You'll have a place to stay for now, but don't get too comfortable. Gio looked at the map of the place and the number on the key card he was given. He deduced the rest and passed on this information to other students that were looking lost in the shuffle.

@Satsuki
"Madam. I am Demetri Gio." He gave a short bow after he continues to speak wit ha thick accent. "It seems we are heading in the same direction for the time. May I be of service to you with those bags?" No smiles or facial expressions. His eyes seemed to look through you. He made no additional movements or gestures.

Lady Withers was more than a little out of her element. So many bodies around her, and their blood's of varying purity, just what had she done to deserve such treatment. The area was unsettling, similar to her issue with the number of people the number of buildings was far greater than she was used to, the area reminded her of a hornets nest...The registration process was the worst of it, her full name written upon a card with no respect to her status! They even expected her to smile at their behest? A bright flash almost made her frown, "what a rude device" she had thought. The most horrid part was the nameless person who handed her these things did not even introduce themselves, he prattled on about dollars and maps, and just as quickly moved onto the next poor soul that had stepped up behind her.

As if to add insult to injury she had arrived in the daylight hours. It was not as if she was going to burst into flames, but it was just off putting, the sun is so much harsher than the sweet moon. She glanced down at her map, before allowing a frown to tug at her lips. She recalled that she was to head to the dorms first, then to a...morning class. The building that she arrived at made her cold heart contract "....I..It is a dungeon."

Upon her entry she looked about, and though it lacked torches and screams, her initial assessment had not changed.

"Please, excuse my interruption and allow me Da pleasure of introducing myself. I am Demetri Gio. Where might I find da rooms for students?"

Accent aside, she figured this another unfortunate soul, who had a very similar question to her own. Since he had already asked she would wait to hear how he was answered....As she waited she noticed he carried his own things. Her belongings where brought here for her correct? Surely this place had at least enough culture to carry a ladies bags...

@Markofkri
As the man introduced himself, a feeling of relief dared to climb over her. At least chivalry had its place. A small curtsy led into a quiet introduction."I am Aisly Verona Withers. A pleasure Sir Gio. I would be honored if you would aid me with my things." She gestured to her rather ornate large traveling case. His look was more becoming than the others she had seen, clearly he had been taught proper behavior.

It was with great reluctance that Amelia woke and sat up in bed this morning. She had been dreading today for a while now, and with it now upon her, she was not feeling any better about it. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she left her room and took her morning shower, taking her time to make sure she was clean, before returning and picking her outfit for the day. She went the simple route, pickout out a plain red t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and went barefoot, as she wasn't a big fan of socks.

Once she was dressed and her hair nice and tidy, she went out to the kitchen, where she knew her adoptive parents would be.
"Hello Mama. Hello Papa." She said, though her tone wasn't as cheerful as it usually was on the morning. She sat down in her seat and waited for her breakfast. Even after she got it she didn't feel like eating much, the butterflies in her stomach making her feel less hungry then usual. Trying to push them aside, she managed to finish her meal just in time before heading to the doorway and putting on her favorite pair of sandals. Once she was ready, she would wait for Vivian, since her mother would be teaching the class Amelia was attending.

[Vesuvius00]

Maple let go of the girl's hand as she began to lead her and Olly to the magic demonstrations, although by the time she got there she had lost them. She looked for them a little, but decided that if she ever saw them again she could just apologize. She went on to watch the demonstrations and afterwards went to find her dorm.

Now she woke up in that room, having decorated it the night before with little squares of colored paper that made it feel more like a bedroom and less like a dungeon. She wasn't like most pure vampires, her family was much more modern than the rest of them, and so her room looked a lot more like how a normal human's room would look. She had a cell phone, and a music player, and even a little box of makeup and care products on her dresser.

She got out of bed after turning off the alarm on her phone and went through her normal routine of picking out an outfit for the day. It actually was daytime now, as she had decided to take a couple of the day classes so she could get ahead in her schoolwork. In that case, she had only gotten about 5 hours of sleep and now had one hour to get ready for class and actually find the classroom. Luckily she had kept the map she had grabbed the night before, and found her way there with minutes to spare.

She walked into the mental magics classroom and chose a seat near the front of the room, looking around at the handful of other students there and noticing that the teacher was not there yet.

---

Vivian smiled as Amelia greeted her and James, even though she could tell she wasn't in her usual mood. "Good morning Amelia." She said before taking a sip of coffee. She closed her eyes a moment and made a small illusion for Amelia, a cute little sprite that would do funny things that only the two of them could see.

Certain that once she noticed it Amelia would start to cheer up, Vivian excused herself while James and Amelia finished their breakfast to make sure she had everything she needed for her day class. When she went back to the kitchen Amelia was already waiting for her so they could go to class together, although it seemed she hadn't noticed the sprite yet.

With a quick goodbye to James she and Amelia left, they would get to her classroom in a few minutes. Along the way, Vivian hummed and pointed out things to Amelia, like what a beautiful day it was or how a certain cloud looked a bit like her, or if you tilted your head the other way it looked like a rabbit. Nevertheless she was hoping to cheer Amelia up before they got to the classroom.

After a point Olly had lost Maple and Luna in a crowd. He was a bit sad he couldn't find his new friends, but he figured he would end up seeing them again sometime soon. After watching the demonstrations, Olly really wanted to get good at Nature magic and Mental magic. Looking at his schedule as he walked back to his room, he saw that the next day Mental magic was a day class he had the option of taking. Well that settled it, hew knew which class he would be attending first thing tomorrow. Olly got to his room and knew he should sleep but found it difficult, partly because he was used to sleeping during the day, and partly because he was quite distracted by the computer in his room and the internet. Always moving his family almost never had something like internet in their home.

Eventually Olly woke up at his desk, which must have meant he fell asleep at the computer at some point during the night. He changed his shirt, grabbed his map, and made his way to the Mental magic classroom. He entered the room and noticed Maple sitting right at the front. He sat next to her and smiled "hey there stranger, long time no see huh?" This class was already nice and it hadn't even started yet, Olly was sure he was going to like it at this school.

Amelia followed Vivian as they walked towards the school, holding her adoptive mother's hand for comfort. Like usual, several people couldn't help but stare at Amelia's wings, which she kept folded behind her back, and Amelia would feel their eyes follow her until she was no longer in the field of view. Ever conscious of this, Amelia just looked at the ground, only glancing up when Vivian brought up a cloud that looked interesting. Despite how she felt, Vivian's efforts did manage to coax out a small smile from Amelia.

When they finally reached the classroom Amelia suddenly stopped, still holding onto Vivian's hand. She had been thinking about how her classmates would react to her presence. She could guess, probably accurately but worse then how it might really happen, and she was beginning to get rather nervous as a result.
"Mama... what if they stare at me like everyone else?" She asked."What if they don't like me or make fun of me? What should I do?"

Niall

Niall had contemplated his schedule and quickly decided that he would like to follow in his mother's footsteps and attend the Blood Magic class for sure. When he had it all figure out his schedule was;

Chemistry
Sociology
Conditioning
Blood Magic

Of course he wanted to attend some day classes as well so he chose Home Economics, Health and Wellness and then Conditioning again. He was always trying to push his body to extremes and be as fit as possible, it wasn't hard to tell with the thick bands of muscle that wrapped around his arms. The rest of his body was no exception either, each muscle was cut and defined from the ones that it touched or crossed over. He pulled at the plain white shirt that he had on, adjusting the sleeves that kept riding up because of his biceps. They had been put in temporary housing and sent off to sleep. Niall was never particularly one to sleep during the night, his parents operated on a regular vampiric schedule. So he dilly dallied about until it was time to get ready to attend his morning class. He showered quickly, shaking the water out of his hair and pulling on a pair of dark wash jeans and a baby blue athletic shirt that clung to his body to show off his defined muscles. After brushing his teeth and shaving he grabbed his backpack and some notebooks and headed out.

He found the classroom quickly using the map that he had been given the previous day and entered the home economics classroom and found himself a seat. He pulled out his phone and read a text from his sister. 'Saw you earlier, you should have styled your hair. You look like a hot mess.' As usual she had nothing nice to say which was not surprising in the slightest to Niall. He ran his hand through his still damp hair and then smoothed it down to its normal resting place. Aspen was all about aesthetics, Niall cared about his appearance but he wasn't as conceited as his sister.

Assuming the handle was up to the challenge Demetri lifted the large ornate case with a single pull and rested it on his left shoulder without the slightest outward sign of effort. "After you milady."

After the helping of milady with her luggage Demetri returned to his own room. Looking at the room Demetri gave no outward expression of his utter disapproval. He was just glad to have a place to store his suitcase. he made sure the door closed and locked behind him and reported to his first class of the day. Using the map was simple to navigate the cities streets to his advantage and make it to class in plenty of time. The architecture was simply marvelous. If there was a time where he could allow a smile through to the surface contours of his face this would have been one of those times. As the moment passed his face never received the signal. He continued onward to the class located for the time on a two dimensional plane.

Finding an empty seat to view his new surroundings Demetri sat. Back strait, hands folded in front of him. The aristocratic vampire looked around the front of the room not wishing to move his head. The fact that he was sitting here in this chair and not at home was more proof to the young lord that his father was powerful. As such Demetri had to obey. No facial tic, or fidgeting, he was aristocracy and wasted movement was a faux pas members of his lineage did not suffer. He sat there like a pale marble statue some one had sewn clothes over.

Colette peeked her head and looked around making sure that one girl who tried to drag her around was not in site and she relaxed when she didn't see her. She walked opposite of where she saw most of the people not wanting to get close to anyone. She sighed when she made it to a secluded spot in the courtyard of the school and sat below a tree that had plenty of shade.
