Myth Academy (PG-13)

Gideon, Katsu, Miriel (mentioned), Gardening Club (cameo), Flying Club (cameo)

After swimming his extra lap, Gideon hauled himself out of the pool. He was not tired - water tended to make him feel more energized - but depressed.
"Hey, kid" He turned to see Katsu. "You did well out there today. You'll improve with time." Gideon shrugged, but was secretly pleased by the encouragement. It seemed he was not a total failure after all. At the very least, Miriel couldn't win every time they raced - she wasn't even one of the best swimmers.

He changed quickly and left the building, pausing momentarily to watch a group of winged students circling just in view above the stadium. They seemed so graceful. Gideon wondered if there were any Aurae (wind nymphs) at the academy, and if they could phase into air as he could into water.

Ad he wandered back through the gardens, he noticed a group of students - mainly dryads and other plant-related creatures - tending to some strange plants. He often wished he could phase into the water of a plant, but it would have to be the size of a tree to accommodate his mass. Anyhow, the plant's auras protected them from naiads, with dryads being the only spirits able to enter vegetation (with the possible exception of poltergeists).

In any case, the strange plants intrigued him, and he wandered over to find out more.

Alright. I have all the respect in the world for Alt, but I see that if we want to keep this going, we have to go ahead ourselves.How about we play out the general war atmosphere for a while. I think we have enough of each type for us to represent well enough. If he doesn't return, someone can take over the role of his brother or something (as someone mentioned previously), and we can still try to play out the bringing-the-nations-together plot.Does anyone have any objection? If not, I can start putting together a first post.

I agree. Go ahead.

I just want the GM to return, or everyone will loose interest. This had so much potential, I don't want to see it wasted.

And SanaChan, I still don't understand who the self-debagging guy is. Am I blind 0_0

Oh yeah, I remembered something I wanted to ask.

In 'Enchantments' lessons, do we actually learn spells or is it just theory? I want to know if the characters will learn anything cool, because this isn't a super power RP.

Does anyone else have a power ability or something about their character that they forgot to mention to me?

No. I sent that list to you in a PM.

Inhabiting water, dowsing, communicating with intelligent marine life and sensing the purity of water, I think were the accepted ones.

Also, for the whole 'interaction' thing, you could make Grey put all the RPer's characters in a group ('to get to know people outside your clubs and classes' or something) and send them out into Purgatory to explore or whatever.

I don't know if i could tell you, because i don't really know myself. Think we are talking about sexy men.

Okay...

Not an odd topic to be talking about I guess?...

Hang on a second, just read the top of the page. Are you guys fantasizing about Dantus caning or paddling that guy?

What did I just walk in on?

Myth Academy (PG-13)

Gideon, Miriel, Katsu

Gideon threw himself into the water, a split second after the mermaid, Miriel. His webbed hands and gills would help him to swim fast in physical form, but the fish tail of his opponent would make an equal, or most likely better, swimming aid. He couldn't phase in - it was not the though of an extra lap, on the contrary, he would almost have welcomed that, but the insult of being beaten on his first day - by a girl.

Risking a glance to his left, Gideon saw that mermaid was already two meters ahead and not slowing. He increased his speed further, drawing level with her.

She also glanced at him, and, seeing him so close, beat her tail deep into the water and launched herself forward, dousing Gideon. Already wet, and being a naiad, this wasn't a problem, but the message was clear - back off. He blinked the water from his eyes, and saw that she had gained four meters on him.

Diving underwater to escape more deluges, he kicked with his feet and shot forward, just below the surface. Wriggling like an eel, he slid through the water and overtook Miriel.

Then, he realised. His legs had phased into the water. Pulling them back together, he allowed his buoyancy to lift him to air above, hoping no one had noticed. If only the mermaid had been a nereid or an oceanid - both would have had the same problems as him.

But, Gideon had one advantage; she was an ocean dweller - he inhabited enclosed sources all the time. Focusing his mind, he allowed his consciousness to examine the water (carefully holding his cellular structure together) and search for a way. With the race nearly over, and the side of the pool growing ever closer, it was a race against time.

Then, he saw it. Or rather sensed it. A sideways current from a filter accompanied by the forward drag of Miriel - a perfect route. Pushing with his hands, he threw himself forward and got caught in the flow, propelling him onwards. With a cheeky grin, a swept past the mermaid and doused her with water.

The side was inches away. As he reached forward, a sploosh sound resounded in the water - Miriel leaping out of the pool and thrusting her tail forwards. It brushed the side just before his fingers closed around the edge.

Turing to glare at her, she gave him a smug grin. Clearly, she thought nothing whatsoever of him.

Now to see whether he was in for another lap...

Myth Academy (PG-13)

So, when do we find out our rivals?

I somehow have a sneaky suspicion that it may be Miriel...
