Interested if this is still accepting,
alright, we have plot. You guys are free to fuck around for the remainder of the first IC day. Sylvaky, sorry for the delay. You are accepted. Your character is going to be shoved in with Tyrant's. Lets just say, for convenience, your character was late, or something. Gabriel Paxton and Thea now both share room 667. Just say a staff member gave them both this number on the way out, or something.


You do realize you basically just made a group of four right? Sylus is already paired with Gabriel, and FL was also originally with us but Dead Cruiser kinda dissapeared so idk if that even counts anymore XD. But yeah I'm a little confused O.o
Just as Sylus had finished speaking with Uriel, the room began to shrink. Sylus felt more and more uncomfortable the smaller it became, panic beginning to set in. Claustrophobia was the bane of his existence. The walls closing in triggered vivid recollections of past nightmares, in which he could feel every bone in his body breaking as he was crushed by four walls, the blood flow to his limbs being cut off, the pain unbearable... but instead of dying, he was teleported right back to his seat in the auditorium.

Sylus exhaled slowly in a sigh of relief. While I'm sure there was some greater point to all of that, I swear to the gods that Ler-briar likes messing with his pupils far too much. sylus scanned the room, green eyes sweeping analytically over the other students. in front of him several first years were injured, shaken up or in some state of disarray or other. He frowned at this, but the frown subsided once he realized most of them seemed alright at first glance. It's good to see that Uriel and I weren't the only ones who didn't fight, but it still seems a good portion of us did. As he continued scanning the room, he couldn't help but notice that one of the first year females was... completely naked. Gods above... isn't there a rule against that sort of exposure here? What on earth was she doing in there that required... oh. On second thought, I might be better off not knowing.

In a miraculous feat of self control, he tore his eyes away from the sight of her as there were more pressing matters at hand. Namely, he hoped someone would explain the point of what the entire student body had just been subjected to. He relaxed in his seat, half tempted to light his tobacco pipe and settle in for a smoke after that ordeal, but this wasn't the time. He focused his attention towards the stage in hopes that all would be explained.
ERMAHGERD PLERT PERST! Time to write the "Sylus is still confused as to what the heck is even happening" post :p
I'll be as active as always on account of the fact that I have no life.
Ditto. XD
I'm back, what did I miss?
We're still stuck in the white box situation so honestly, not all that much has happened ingame this whole time. I'm starting to feel like this is just gonna flop soon, I really hope not tho.
@Noster HOLY CHEESE ROLLS I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT PHONES, I COULDA USED ONE IN THE POST AND SHIT. FUGGG
LOL it's fine dude. that would have been the solution to the "how to explain videogames to sylus' dilemma XD. I didn;t think of it either so it's okay.
Collab w/ Tyrant from the West Box #435 Sylus, Uriel and Frontal Lobe Sylus had un-notched his arrow, and in response Uriel followed suit. Or at least, as close to suit as he could. He returned his marbles to the little baggie, but kept his hand near it incase he needed to panic draw. However, it looked like he might not need to do anything of the sort, Sylus looked to be the type who would warn before starting a fight. Hell, he had even said he didn't want to fight. "You've got a point there, Sylus, and you've got it. I would rather not fight as well. I've been shot with an arrow before, those things hurt like nothing else. " He also took note of the comment about Mr.Roboto over to the side. Uriel would be sure not to become too comfortable until he was absolutely sure the robot was safe to be around. "Hmm, this is a bit tricky" Sylus said, thinking aloud. "Even though we're probably expected to fight, and many of the other students are probably doing just that right now, I highly doubt that's the only allowed solution. Some of the exams and such in this school are based on finding creative solutions after all." He pondered for a moment, looking around thoroughly for any sign of, well, anything but pure white. But of course, it couldn't be that easy."Perhaps if we dawdle for long enough they'll just teleport us out, but I have very strong doubts about that. Hmmm" Sylus continued to ponder for a while, glancing anxiously at FL every now and again. Uriel listened to Sylus, and agreed with about everything he had said. Maybe waiting around would be sufficient? As these thoughts flew through Uriel's head, he took his eyes off of FL and turned to Sylus to respond. However before any words came out of his mouth, FL fell to the floor, and the resulting sound was not all that pretty. Uriel turned to the robot and spoke to Sylus at the same time. "I don't think we need to worry about that 'guy' anymore. He doesn't seem to be functioning properly, maybe someone will fix him up later. " He had put extra emphasis on the 'guy' part, to show he wasn't entirely sure thats what it was. Probably not the best way to show doubt, but it didn't matter. " So, are you some kind of...elf?" Sylus' ears stuck out to Uriel, however not all knife-ears were elves. Uriel didn't talk to any lucis-born people through the break, and had lost his touch when it came to talking to them. He had never tried to learn about much of their culture, and only knew what people had told him during school about those born there. "That is indeed what my people are mainly reffered to as, yes. I understand your confusion, from what I have heard there are much fewer types of sapient species on earth. But yes, I'm not sure what happened to... whatever that creature is. I have seen other syntetic beings before, a good number of them come here for some reason... robots, I think they're called? There certainly isn't anything like them on lucius. The closest thing would probably be undead and other deceased beings or aninimate objects brought to life by magical or alchemical experimentation. Either way, I'm quite curious about your method of combat. I think I saw you pull out a few small, brightly-colored orbs from that pouch of yours, and I sense magic from them." "Yeah, before you guys came along we thought we were the only type of truly-sentient life out there. Robots? Yep that is what they are called, man-made machines, often more dangerous then the average man himself." Uriel then grabbed two random marbles out of his bag and gave them a look, a yellow and dark blue. Safe enough for demonstration in this room. "These things are my weapon of choice. Marbles, with explosive powers within them. Have you heard of a grenade before? Basically, these are that, but weaker. They also, depending on the enchantment, will explode with a different kind of effect!" Uriel hit the two marbles together in his palm and cracked them, so the effects would combine, and then threw the marbles towards the most empty spot in the room, which would be the corner away from the two and a half of them. When they hit the ground, ice-chunks flew out. The corner and the two nearby walls caught the majority of the chunks. The ice chunks, in adition to being ice itself, were also giving off very strong electric pulses. Strong enough to give the average man a harmful shock, give their hearts a rude-awakening. " What do you got? " "Hmm, very intruiging. Similarly, I have a few types of enchantments on my arrows. Not as many types as your marbles at the moment, I enchant them all myself and am not all that skilled at the moment. I'm a second year and I think I saw you sitting farther back, that would explain our difference in that particular skill. Anyway, the types of arrows I currently have consist of two element types, fire and lightning as well as 2 others. The lightning ones simply electrocute whatever they hit. They do so for quite a while, a few minutes unless the arrow is removed. They could kill the average sapient being given enough time, so I tend to use those in only the most dire situations. Being burned is indeed also very bad, but the thing with the fire arrows is the tip breaks and erupts in flames, engulfing it's target, not lasting as long as the electric ones. The other 2 types consist of what I have dubbed 'leech arrows', and another I have dubbed 'paralysis arrows.' The leech ones drain magical energy from the target at an alarming rate, which both interferes with spellcasting and such, and can quickly fatigue or weaken spellcasters, or any lucis inhabitant with lots of magic in their blood. Although I don't rely on innate magic most of the time, I, and most elves honestly, would suffer greatly if hit with one of them. Finally, the paralysis type interferes with a person's nervous system at the entry site, locking up the muscles. I had knocked one of those earlier and if I was able to hit your arm I would have rendered it useless. As for my other skills, I can use a form of healing magic by physically touching someone and channeling my energy into them. This is a surefire way to exhaust myself, however. Also, although it's not the most useful ability in the world, I can communicate with animals through my mind. It's difficult to explain, but suffice to say I could easily calm a wild animal attempting to devour me, or convince one to help me out with something. that's pretty much my repertoire, as it were." "Well...shit." Sylus sounded somewhat like a one-man swat team, all he needed was the gun and armor. Paralyzing arrows? Yep, if he had been hit in the arm, the pain and the complete loss of mobility would have cost him the fight. Switching arms in combat was something that Uriel never really had to done, simply because his arms were generally never hit by anything like that. He also had a very wide range of skills as well. More so then Uriel, that was for certain. However, Uriel believed that with a proper smoke-screan placement, as well as having nice terrain, he could do it. Certainly not easily, but if he played his hands right, things might work out. As those thoughts flew through his head, he tried to clear them out. They certainly weren't good things to be thinking in this situation, especially this situation. "Heh, We sound like a couple of video game characters don't we?" Did Sylus even know what a video-game was? Whatever. If he didn't, Uriel wouldn't mind taking the time to explain. 'Video game? Some form of entertainment on earth perhaps?" Sylus asked curiously. "Yeah. Ok, you know what a Television set is right? And you've played games of pretend back on lusis right, when you were a kid?" This was already harder then Uriel had thought it would be. 'Don't worry, you needn't explain if it's that difficult. There are many things in Lucis I would have a very difficult time explaining to an earthling, that is the nature of our worlds I suppose. I can infer that it is some form of interactive game using a television set though, I have heard of those before. Interesting." He then seemed to ponder for a moment, then sigh. "It does seem like we'll be here for a while, not so sure how to get out of this place." He continued looking around for anything at all, waiting for this ruse to be over with if that was even something that would just happpen somehow.
"Ha, you're telling me. Archery is a far more effective method of combat when there's any sort of cover or higher ground present." Sylus also turned to cautiously gaze at FL. "I'm not sure about him, or if he can even communicate... though I highly doubt he'd be here if he couldn't. I'm suspicious that he might be waiting until we both turn our attention entirely away from him, so we should avoid doing such a thing for now. Now then, let us see if we can't find some other way out of here then resorting to violence, if you please." Sylus put the arrow back in his quiver and let go of the bowstring, still gripping the bow with one hand in case Uriel had other ideas.
(since almost everyone is using colored text for dialouge I guess I also might as well. Helps with reading these a bit.) At Uriel's first remark, Sylus agreed with his body languge by drawing his bow in one swift motion, his other hand shooting towards his quiver and pulling one of his paralysis arrows but not knocking it all the way, bow still slightly lowered. Sylus hoped to restrain Uriel rather than seriously injure him if it came to figthing. "I fear you are most likely correct, Uriel. Knowing what I know of Headmaster ler-Briar, one of us defeating the other is probably the easiest way out, but I'd appreiciate if we tried to figure out another way first." He glanced towards the strange humanoid metal creature, which still has not responded or was really doing anything at all, watching both it and Uriel cautiously, ready to react to any sudden moves. @Tyrant from the West
