In Enemy Territory

Hey, I put up my RP in the casual interest section if you're interested, I can post you a direct link.

In Enemy Territory

"I never said you had to be confrontational or aggressive Grace, water is a force, but not with ill will. Even streams can carry away a tennis ball," he smirked a little, it was meant to calm her down, but he may have only agitated her more.

"look why don't we start off with something simple," as tempted to see how much force with water she could produce, he didn't want to give her a heart attack by forcing her to do something so 'aggressive', Instead he picked up a tennis ball that had landed close nearby during their exercise. "Ok, so this thing isn't going to be coming at you at 60 mph, instead, I want you to just show me what you can do with it, and by that, I mean how well you can manipulate this physical object with water."

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ All Genders Welcome (Reboot)

I had tried doing this about a year ago, things had gone fairly well, but life kind of took over for most everyone and the group scattered. I'm willing to give it another shot, I'd like to bring back some of the old, but I'd love to bring in some of the new, so without further ado....

If you don't know what Katawa Shoujo is, its a visual novel created by 4Leaf Studios, a production team made up of 4chan users from across the world. The story follows Hisao Nakai, a high school student diagnosed with Arrythmia, a rare heart condition and sent to Yamaku academy, a school for disabled students. Along the way to overcoming his condition Hisao is befriended by a group of school girls with different disabilities and (through character interactions and choices made by the player) falls in love with one of them.

Just a brief synopsis, but this basically explains what this RP will be about. Its a highschool roleplay with all the students having some form of physical disability (Yamaku academy does not accept any students with mental disabilities), where they learn to cope with their disability and live a normal life. Along the way each player will make friends, enemies and maybe even find love. This roleplay will be pretty dialogue heavy with character interaction and even internal monologue heavy with character dynamics, when I say heavy though don't be too afraid of it, I'm not asking you to write me a novel, but I expect some content in each post. Character limitations and restrictions are pretty free here, the only thing I won't allow are mentally disabled students or anything that might be considered too ludicrous.

Aside from that I'm hoping to see plenty of interest and hopefully won't let this rp die. Hope to see you all soon.

PS. if you have any questions or would like to participate as my co-gm please pm me.

PSA: Katawa Shoujo is a fantastic novel and one I highly recommend if you're into romance, there are some NSFW scenes which you can disable..

In Enemy Territory

"If the teacher is even going to let us begin."

Looking around, it seemed that was exactly the case, maybe it was to get people somewhat acquainted with each other. That being said, Kyle was going to need to discuss more theory before really putting Grace to practice. There was one thing in particular that had bothered him, is what Grace had said about water. He'd only read things in textbooks, well, felt is more like it, and he seemed to know more about water's limitless properties than she did.

"What you said earlier, about water moving around objects," he wanted to confront this problem immediately, "You know that water does more than just move around objects right? It pushes, it pulls, it can rush you away or cradle you gently, if its hot enough it boils, if its cold enough it freezes, depending on an object's density it sinks or floats in it, water sustains life and can be a harbinger of death. Water has such limitless potential, my first question is why not use that to your advantage?"

The group, disappointed, began to disperse and Grace quietly piped up. Kyle turned to her smiling.

"You don't have to you know. I don’t mind if you want to have someone else as your partner.”

"I know I don't have to, but I want to, despite what you may think, or believe in, I think and believe that there's a lot of talent inside of you, and I'm gonna bust it out of you." Kyle then extended his hand forward to her, "you and I are gonna work hard this year, alright? Before you know it, I think you're going to see a difference."

He really did mean that, her display today was pitiful, but he knew there was something waiting to be let loose and he wanted to help build up her confidence to unleash her hidden potential. That and he wanted to see if there was any kind of mana source within her that she could link to, if she could do that, her power would increase exponentially.

Kyle looked around, everyone's auras were rapidly pulsating, anxious and fearful, to know who they would be paired up with. Already though there were other students gathering together in pairs or finding students they thought they would pair well with. Interestingly enough there were even some students approaching him and as the questions to be paired up with him began, Kyle's mind slowly drew over to Grace. Kyle couldn't feel any significant auras directed at Grace and that was disheartening, but also a good thing, because...

Kyle raised his hand and kindly apologized to the people before him, "I'm sorry, but I've already chosen my partner."

The student closest to him asked, "Wait, who did you pick?"

Extending his finger towards Grace he spoke, "Her."

In Enemy Territory

Kyle couldn't help but grin devilishly at the girl with her words, "I have to admit, those do sound like good words to live by," the amount of sarcasm in his voice was palpable, but he couldn't help and poke fun at the girl. Despite how desperately Grace should be the one to follow those words, he knew there was truth to that on his own end too, there was still much left to work on, and so much more to learn. As he continued to listen to her and her original plan of isolation, he found himself sympathizing with her, for isolation was something he was quite familiar with as well.

All in all being said, a new companion would be a fresh change of pace and in a way, Kyle found himself wanting to help Grace, to open up and find that powerful water warrior inside of her. His mind had settled on it since the beginning, but it was at this point that he openly confirmed it to himself. He'd already made the offer to speak with her on mana sources, all he needed to do now, was simply wait for her to accept the invitation. In the meantime though, it seemed as if the last of the students had gone up for the course, Mr. Steele was beginning to address the student again.

Kyle had a brief flash of his childhood life, taming his powers and receiving and excruciating amount of 'discipline'. He breathed in deeply and exhaled before replying, "My father was very insistent that I learn how to control my powers, and how to keep myself in check, mind, body, and spirit. I think it was because of his rigorous 'training' and the knowledge of a mana source at my disposal that helped me to control my powers up to this point. That being said, I'm not nearly as strong as I could be, there's still a lot more training I need to go through, and that's exactly why I'm here."

He looked at Grace briefly before smiling and looking off, "That aside, I'm not exactly objective to making a few friends of course."

In Enemy Territory

Kyle waited patiently for Grace's turn and the results were somewhat surprising, but he should have expected them. She seemed to blunder out of the balls way, not surprising given the personality she's shown, but when requested to use her powers, she seemed to flounder around with their use; her thinking was too....straightforward. It should have been expected beforehand that she wouldn't have the proper training to flaunt her powers in front of the crowd, from what he'd gathered so far she's kept her powers under wraps. What did surprise him most however is her boastful claims from earlier, not that he didn't believe them, but that she could have so much latent power and not enough control to properly wield it. As she approached he could feel the heat of her aura coming from her, the amount of embarrassment she must be feeling.

By this point his sunglasses had been returned onto his face and he simply smiled at her as she stepped forward and said, "It's day 1, don't let this bother you too much Grace."
