River took the PLTs offered by Lady Violetta, turning it this way and that in her hands before setting it down on her desk. "So weird!" She said, poking the box with a finger, wondering how a laptop could feel. When she remembered that the Castle was sentient as well, it didn't surprise her that they could make laptops the same way. The fact that it was her own, and would only work for her, interested her greatly - and gave her a tiny bit of satisfaction.

When told to, she flipped it open and removed the protective sheets covering the hand print panels, then gingerly placed her hands on them, trying not to hurt the PLTs. It whirred to life, the panels underneath her hands glowing vibrant green. 'Is that the color of my Aura?' River thought curiously, leaning her head down to peer at the panel from the side. All of the sudden, it began asking her questions.

She filled each out succinctly, pausing to think about what her magic types would be. She remembered the woman in the shop back on earth telling her she had "affinities for earth and air", but the woman didn't mention the other one. As if to answer her, the PLTs filled out the last magic type on it's own: plant. River blinked her eyes in surprise, then leaned close to the PLT and whispered, "How did you know that?" When the PLTs didn't respond, River pouted her lips. "Helloooooooooooooooo?" She said in a drawn out whisper, poking the screen tentatively.

When the Headmistress told them that they'd soon be able to decide on their pets, River perked up, closing up her PLTs and sliding it securely into the tote-bag slung over her shoulder. She skipped along behind everyone, peering into each area curiously to map out the school in her head.

Finally, they arrived at the lift machine that would take them up to the other portions of the Castle. Waiting for her turn, she stepped on it and found herself unable to resist doing a Superman pose, her arm outstretched above her as the other hand gripped the banister. "RIver, AWAYYY!!!" She called out. When the lift didn't move, she gave the banister a pat and said, "Ahem. I mean, River Cade to the student bedroom floor."

The lift started promptly, lifting her away. "Ohhhh my globbb! This is globbing amazing!" She laughed giddily, stepping off of the lift when she arrived and gave Lady Violetta a smile. "This place is pretty great - Oooo rooms." She stopped mid-sentence and ran over to room number 3, pressing her hands against the hand-print modules. They registered her Aura, glowing vibrantly green just as the PLTs had done, and the door slid open to admit her.

She gave the door an affectionate pat and walked in, looking around the room. Inside, there was a closet with several shelves and space to hang clothing, and a large window on the far side of the room, directly across from the door. She grinned, imagining adding her own touches to the blank slate, and unpacked everything from her tote-bag into the closet, except for the PLTs. She retreated from her room and went to stand next to Lady Violetta, waiting for them to head to town.

For me, it's sort of a natural thing to create a longish post. I don't feel right unless I go through the motions.

My recommendation for the RP is to merge the schools together under Lady Violetta, as the roleplayer for Alvina isn't around. But if you don't want to do that, I could make a teacher for the Draconic School? If you wanted help, that is.

I can't really post daily, unless you'd like much shorter posts (which I can do!).

Every other day posting is typical for me, I've just been really busy these last few days. I do apologize, I'm going to write one up now.

Arcana (Featuring Ajala, Jack, Dagr, Fiona)

'Wasn't I right to defend the plants? Did I screw things up so soon?' Arcana stood in front of the glass chamber that held the snapping dragon tangler with her arms at her sides, hands balled into fists. Her cheeks were flush with anger and tears glistened at the corner of her narrowed eyes. From outside, she could hear the voices of the two boys, inviting the Gardening Club members to come with them. Her gaze softened and her hands uncurled from their fists. Arcana pressed her hand against the glass chamber that held the snapping dragon tangler, watching it's vines twine up lazily near the mound it rested in, content from eating.

She stayed there a moment watching the plant, before pushing herself away and blinking the tears out of her eyes. "Stay s-safe, I'll b-be back soon." She murmured fondly. She quirked her lips up in a too-perky smile, and walked out of the greenhouse door, bending to pick up a vented beetle-container from a wheelbarrow on her way. "He-hey. The Tr-Tree s-sounds gr-great. Lets go after we finish feeding the li-little ones!" Her voice came out slightly shaky at first, becoming more chipper as she continued talking.

Following her words, she started preparing the plants to feed, and, making sure the beetles couldn't get out of the area, opened the containers, shaking the beetles out so the plants could have them. Every plant seemed to spark to life, hunting the prey in their own ways. Some plants lashed out tiny tendrils out to grab the unsuspecting beetles, while others opened their flowers up invitingly, closing on any beetle that decided to rest there. Still, others dangled lures to attract the beetles and then struck with suddenly open maws.

She backed out of the fenced area, letting Fiona and Ajala do what they needed to, and turned to Dagr and Jack. "I-I'm Arca-cana, um... th-thank you. For w-worrying." She gave them a shy smile, lowering her gaze to the ground.

True dat. My life's theme song, if only it were accurate...

I feels you ;^; It's so good to listen to when you wake up in the morning though~

Major Ursa said
Keep the OoC alive, or the IC dies...it's not a threat, but a guarantee.

I agree with this. I've seen a few where the OoC stays alive and the IC diminishes, but those are pretty rare - and it's more likely if you have a dead OoC, the IC will just fall flat on it's face. I enjoy reading over everyone's posts, even though I don't really post that often I do read everything. It's nice to see everyone interacting with each other - the more friendship between the people OoC, the better the character interactions IC. :3

Today has been really super swamped, sorry Aisling. I will be posting tomorrow morning/early afternoon.

As far as having the lecture finish up, I don't mind. If you'd like to finish it, I'll read it and respond. ^^

River's imagination ran wild as the Headmistress named the three felines, her interest particularly catching on the Gold Lion. She fantasized running through an expansive forest, light dappling the forest in shades of lush green and soothing yellow. By her side was a brilliantly golden maned lion, loping with ease over thick tree roots as large as her body, wind pulled at her hair underneath the sky blue bandana keeping it in place.

She shook her head lightly, chasing away her imagination so she could pay attention to the Headmistress. Her stomach rumbled ominously for the second time, and she wondered if anyone else was feeling peckish. She tried to ignore it. Something occured to her as she stared at Lady Violetta. "Um, ma'am? Are you and Lady Alvina the only teachers here? What's the difference between the students in the Basic Academy and the Draconic Academy? Are our Magic Cores different?"

I'll be posting again tonight, Aisling :] I don't want to skip other people, but I'll keep roleplaying if nobody else is around ^^!
