Toby Kipling

---

As he was with most things, Toby Kipling was being serious. Standing there in the majestic auditorium of the school he’s been blessed to call his home for the last few years Toby stood in line with all the other students who had arrived for the year. Presently he was listing to Headmaster Grayson finish his opening speech. It was the same old speech just like last year and the year before that, but Toby still listened to the person who made the most magical times in his life possible.

When the speech was over people started to do their own thing and Toby was no exception to mob rule. Like everyone here he had his own things to take care of, but unlike others he was already busy. He would be living in a new room once again and like always he had to prepare. It is not to say that he was not prepared, but Toby liked to do things in very specific way when it came to his rooms.

His room back in Baltimore was the same. It was a small one-bedroom place with a fixed closet, a single mirror, low hanging lights, and a large barred window that faced a closed off street. As a student of the magical kind, he had a lot of stuff that would never fit in his room, but thankfully there was magic in Toby’s life. Using various extension and size alteration magic Toby managed to fit his many magical belongs tucked away in a single chest, a gift that belonged to his uncle. The sheer amount of stuff he had made unpacking and preparing for the year hell, but bearable as always.

Walking to his dorm room he saw a few of friends and exchanged pleasantries, but never stopped for a proper chat. When he arrived at his place luggage were piled up outside of his door. It did not look much given that he only had two trunks and a treasure chest, but on the inside was his entire room. Carrying it all would have taken him hours to just move it a few inches, but luckily enough he knew a spell or two fix that issue.

The door to the other bedroom was locked so Toby picked the one that was left open. He supposed that the person must have already finished and left or is inside asleep or worst, dying. Toby knocked to check in on his roommate to see if he needed help, but alas there was no response. Assuming the best Toby got inside in his own room, locked the door behind him and started to work. It would be a long day just to finish all of it and his body would ache later that night, but it was a free day today so there was no harm done.

Maddie knows that their team was designates to land just south of the Texas shoreline so she knows that their best bet is to go north west. Using this knowledge they will head in that direction and reach land. In the event that they don't they will still reach land one way or the other because local winds that come from the main land create winds that make wind waves that allow for anything that floats to wash up in the coastline, and even further ocean currents naturally go along most great land masses that even if their raft gets carried away by one they'll be close enough to paddle to shore.

As for where in the map exactly they'll land you can pick a place in map I made for the Texas. For this first story arc our goal is to get them to non swampy area, in other words, mainland. Realistically speaking walking from the coast of Texas, let's say, Corpus Christi to San Antonio (both line up in the map of Texas i have up there) would take two and a half days without stop. i did the math and If we factor in the fact that there's no road, they have to make stops, unfamiliar territory, and external variables it will take them possibly a week before they can leave the swamp area, which should be a good enough time for one arc.

By the way there are oars on each side of the raft, but i forgot about it in my last post. As for the look of their raft it looks kind of likethis, but around this thing's size albeit shorter. All of it is made of made of a colored plastic rubber like synthetic material that's both durable, solid, but light and allows them to float on the sea's effortlessly. Surrounding the entire thing and underneath the raft are rope floats that keep the raft steady and floating, and the same goes for the rope that keeps the two rafts together.

Honestly, I think i should have worked on a better way for them to get started in the world. I don't mean the intro, but with the whole aircraft shuttle thing, but it was either that or have them asleep underwater in some kind of rising machine, which would have limited all teams to start by the coast and make their way inland, but that would have limited exploration and environment types. What do you think? Is the whole aircraft shuttle thing and being in space kind of dorky? I mean we're not gonna change it, but coming from a reader's perspective what do you think?

Sorry about the above I've just been organizing my writing and that thinking came up.

EDIT: So I jut finished reading you post. Lovely and already in character, I'm jealous, it usually takes a good few pots before I get the hang of my guys. Also the fact that they're wearing Georigia shots kind of make me happy.

Also they all have their own rooms with one bed for privacy. If that's not what it read like from when I wrote it I apologize. Basically the dome has an external shell which is thin and acts as a cover,and inside is a smaller dome that's cut four ways like a pizza. Each room has one skewing pod and there stuff. If I wasn't clear anout it when then I'm vey sorry. It's all my fault. Don't worry though you don't need to change anything it's just for the future since theyll be spending some time in this rather large raft. All this really means is that I still need to work on my writing.

How involved can we be to Kenzy and the people who run the facility? can we be part of the inner circle or are we limited to being just part of the community?

Coolio, just a reminder none of them still has no idea of what's happened to them unless they've been told by their parents moments before being taken away.

13 Colonies (A Survival Story) (FiroIV & Raid)

Team Georgia

It had been a long time since Madison “Maddie” Bates has felt so relaxed in her life that for a brief moment before opening her eyes she thought she was dead. As her eyelids flapped open she pushed open the glass casing lifting it off the cocoon she slept in for who know how many years. This small oblong pod has been her bed for so many years, but she’s had no memory of ever sleeping in it.

The people she used to work for told her that none of the people in the pods would dream, but she did and that meant so did the others. Her dreams weren’t vivid, memorable or anything spectacular, but for a split second she remembers them and then she forgets. She hoped that the other members in this little group had pleasant dreams because she was confident that they would be the last for a long a time.

She slowly came out of her pod walking like a newborn deer. There were no signs of atrophy or fatigue whatsoever. Silently Maddie awed at how amazing this technology was. During their periods of cryogenically induced slumber they did not eat, digest, or anything yet for some reason their bodies were still in top condition as if they had only slept for a day.

As the guide of this little team, Maddie was the first to awaken. Her pod was set to open roughly an hour and a half before everyone else’s so she could check out the surrounding areas. In the event that the surrounding area was a bad one she would have to wake them up immediately and explain later. It was dead silent outside.
The shuttle that carried the team in space was long gone. The shuttle had already sunk to the bottom of the ocean, but before it did, two rafts were released. The two rafts would then float side by side connected by a rope. In the worst-case scenario the rope would snap and separate the two teams. For the sake of humanity, Maddie hoped that everything went according to plan.

After collecting herself and her bag full of equipment Maddie stepped out of the small room shaped like a quarter of a circle. Calling it a room was stretch seeing, as it was just a small private aree with a tanning bed looking machine in one corner. There wasn’t even a door it was just a solid, but soft and rubbery plastic like substance that needed to be pushed to a side. The external dome that housed the private rooms was intact, and Maddie took this as a good sign.

Her first task was to check the outside area for any danger, she only took a peek for a second before coming inside the raft again. There was no need to check long since there was nothing to see. Outside there was only the lonely expanse of the sea, and right in front of her was the other raft attached by group of ropes intertwined together. After coming inside she began to check the individual passengers of this boat. She started checking them clockwise from the main entrance of the raft.

The first face she saw was that of a little girl, Indian in origin and only thirteen year old. Her name was Deepti Persaud and Maddie felt sorry for the young girl who would have to face the world without her parents. She figured that they would put the youngest member with her. Before leaving she put her bag next to the pod and pressed the button to wake the girl up, it would take fifteen minutes before she properly opens her eyes. Into this new world

There had already been two girls in the team so she knew that the other two would be boys. The second face she saw in this world was a young man barely out of his teens. He had dirty blonde hair and a peaceful looking face. This man was Simon Nicholson, the second youngest member of the team after Deepti. Maddie put his stuff next to his pod, pressed the button to wake him up and moved on to the next room.

The third face she saw was that of another young man. He was Asian looking with a stern and rugged face. This was Saito Nijinsky. She put his stuff next to him and pressed the button to wake him. The people who organized this project put the youngest members with her since she was the guide and they were the ones that needed taking care the most.

After checking the member of her raft, she moved on to the other one. She undid the rope and pulled the other raft in. It was heavy, but the sea and her training helped. Before she went under cryogenic sleep all the guides went to do some survival training and even though they hadn’t started living in tis world yet she was already using her training. She was scared of the world out there, but she hoped they were all ready regardless.

Maddie pulled the ropes closer to her and tied them back to the metal hoops that would secure them in place. She made sure to double check her loops because the last thing she wanted to do was separate this team. Jumping across the rafts, she got her clothes wet. It didn’t matter though since she wasn’t wearing anything fancy, none of them would be. Everything they had was for utilitarian purposes, nothing aesthetic.

The raft Maddie came from was color blue and the other one was red. She figured it would be easier to call the two groups red and blue. The members of the red team would be the oldest she thought and she was right in that assumption. The fourth face she saw the oldest person in the group, second only to her. This young man covered in tattoos is Alex Bariientos and Maddie hoped that among all the dangers their group would face she hoped that he would rise up to the occasion and lead their group to safety.
The fifth face she saw was that of a young woman. Her face saddened Maddie the most because she knew what the girl left behind to be here. This girl barely a quarter into her life was Maybeleen “Cherry” Windsom. Like with the others she put her belongings next to her and pressed the button to wake her up.

The sixty face she saw that of a young man. His name was Arrios Urais. He had just entered his twenties, which put him right behind Cherry for being the oldest member of the group. Maddie knew that he had some experience in the wilderness, which explained why he wasn’t put with the blue team. In the event that they separated he was the one who would know the most in surviving.

The seventh and final member of this team was a young girl. She ha d a fresh and bright face, but there was an underlying sadness in her look. This teenage girl was Summer Green and Maddie figured that out of everyone here she was the one who was out of her element the most. She placed her belongs next to the pod and pushed the button to wake her.

After leaving the red raft and waited for the members of this team to wake up. Maddie sat herself down next to the plastic door of the blue raft and waited for humanity’s last hope to wake up. She sighed, breathed in and breathed out, and hoped that the world beyond the fog was ready to for team Georgia.
