Yay! I get to post now~

Also, I've been checking up on the inactive members. Cryptiic hasn't been active in almost a week, sadly for me. Tyrant, though, posted 13 or so hours ago. 99 and Rada have been inactive for more than a week. So many inactive members. This is quite sad.

Alright everyone, honest answers. is everyone alright with the pace or is it not tolerable?i feel bad that you guys have to wait on Rad & myself so I am contemplating a few things like if we need 1 more co-gm.

Officialy, I've only just joined but I've been stalking this roleplay for a bit and from what I can see, the pace is quite tolerable so far. Rushing things almost never turns out well, in my opinion.

Karin Amsel | Forest > Garnet room > Corridors

A monotonous, almost mechanical voice announced that they’d arrived at their destination as the bullet train slid to a smooth, near silent stop. “I guess this is it.” A tremor of nervousness tinged the pleasantly feminine voice. Karin Amsel unfolded her slender frame out of the seat and stretched languidly. The long train ride, which had been quite boring as she was the only passenger, had left her feeling a tad cramped. Due to her home town being quite far away she’d missed the first one with the rest of the students and had been forced to spend hours by herself, staring out the window at an unappealing view of swamps, swamps and more swamps. Eager to get going, the girl picked up her bags and stepped out onto the footpath.

Eyes of an unnaturally beautiful golden hue widened in surprise at the sight before her. The train let out smack into the middle of a forest straight out of a Grimm’s fairytale. Tall trees towered on either side of the narrow path, their branches weaving an intricate canopy overhead and managing to almost block out the night sky. Wisps of fog swirled around in the distance, occasionally pierced by rays of moonlight. The planet’s many moons which served as a beautiful natural light had somehow taken on a sinister feel as it filtered through the branches and cast a myriad of twisted shadows. Karin took a hesitant step forward, unease crawling up her skin like the skittering legs of an insect. An involuntary shiver danced down her spine as a sudden breeze brought along the cold and sounds of rustling leaves. She wasn’t a jumpy person and she considered herself somewhat brave. But the eerily silent forest had managed to set every one of her nerves on edge and was playing havoc with her mind. Gritting her teeth and pulling her jacket closer she pushed on forward, ignoring the ominous crunch of dead leaves crushed under her shoes.

After what seemed like a lifetime, she finally arrived at the massive stone arches – which to her seemed like the bones of a long dead civilization, ravaged by time and nature. The entire structure held an eerie beauty which seemed to draw her in even as the fine hairs on the back of her neck stood up in alarm. Stop it, Karin. Don’t let your imagination go into overdrive. Sure, it seems like the setting for a horror movie right now but maybe it’ll appear more normal in daylight. Besides even if this was a horror movie, you’d survive. Probably. It’s always the big boobed blonde who dies first and you’re a brunette. Somehow that little internal monologue didn’t fill her with reassurance. Taking a sharp breath through her nose to calm herself, Karin marched forward hurriedly.

“Finally.” A relieved sigh escaped her lips as she shut the large, ornate door behind her and leaned against it. After more than a couple minutes of wandering around the deserted hallways she’d managed to find her assigned dorm – the Garnet Room. The suite certainly lived up to its name as everything from the tasteful furniture to the opulent decorations was done in shades of red. Spying her name on one of the doors, she made her way over to it and run her fingers over the cold metal nameplate before pushing the door open and stepping inside. The red theme continued in the large bedroom and attached bathroom as well. It appeared that the institute spared no expense when it came to furnishing. Karin sat down on the bed and took out the invitation she’d received along with her acceptance letter and papers.

“A masquerade ball.” She murmured thoughtfully while running the tip on one finger over the stiff paper.

The freshman orientation was to be a ball, something she was pretty sure wasn’t a part of any other colleges. The school would be providing their attire for the evening and while she wasn’t one to look a gift horse in the mouth, she couldn’t help but feel that it was strange. For one thing, how was the institute affording to pay for it all? Shoving those uneasy thoughts to the back of her mind to mull over later, she got up and read the invitation again. A pang of remorse knifed through her as she realized that she’d missed the ball. Her train had arrived too late and the doors would’ve closed by now. Still, she was curious to see what they’d picked out for her to wear. Half dreading that they’d have dressed her in poison green or canary yellow, she pulled open the intricately carved door of the wardrobe.

A long silver dress made of shimmering material surprised her instead of what she was dreading. She reached out hesitantly as if it were an illusion that could shatter any moment. A small smile lit her face as her hands ran over the soft material and carefully took the dress out. “I wonder how it looks on me.” She wondered aloud. Unsurprisingly, she soon found herself slipping out of her clothes and pulling on the dress. It fit her like a glove, the silky material molding itself to her curves perfectly. Karin held the matching silver mask up to her face and looked in the mirror. She looked every bit the beautiful Cinderella ready for the ball. Except this Cinderella had missed her chance and the doors had closed. The girl’s earlier excitement whooshed out of her, making her feel not unlike a deflated Soufflé. That is, is if soufflés were capable of emotions.

“Well, at least I look pretty.” It was an obvious attempt to console herself, even if it was true. The sense of being all dressed up with nowhere to go had her feeling a little disappointed. “Maybe I could just explore this place.” Deciding that it was an excellent idea, she headed out after forgoing elaborate makeup for a quick wash of her face and running her fingers through her long, inky mane. She tied her mask in place and slipped her feet into a pair of high heeled shoes provided by the ever so thoughtful CTS staff. And so began her adventure – which in other words meant ‘wandering aimlessly through the corridors.’

If you want, perhaps Gracie could meet with her while the others are at the Masquerade?I've left it somewhat ambiguous whether she actually leaves or not for that very reason...

Sure. I'd like that :3

Sorry, I forgot to check the thread earlier. I've been working on and off on my post in between real life stuff.

Clandestine: Academy of the Supernaturals

Thank you, Cryptiic :3

I think it'd be best for me to have her miss it, as I might not be able to get a post up until later and I don't want to delay progress for the rest of you.

Appearance:



Standing a bit taller than average, her build is lithe and graceful. Her movements bely the confident grace of a natural dancer, one who is comfortable in her skin. While the girl’s figure isn’t voluptuous it’s still feminine, softly curving in all the right places. Her skin is soft alabaster with creamy undertones; smooth and unblemished save for a thin scar running down the left side of her neck. Gifted with fine bone structure and high cheekbones, Karin appears to have won the genetic lottery. Large, striking eyes the color of warm gold framed with long lashes dominate her oval face. Raven locks frame her face, contrasting with her pale skin as it tumbles down to her waist. Karin prefers to keep it tied back in a loose ponytail or pinned up. She is rarely seen without her characteristic smirk.

A bit about your character:
Karin has never been afraid to speak her mind for fear of hurting someone’s feelings and she isn’t above tossing a snarky remark or two when the situation calls for it. The majority of her repertoire consists of sarcastic comments accompanied by a sardonic smirk or raising of an eyebrow. The occasional kind comment is thrown in there for variety, nothing more. She has often been called cold and emotionless. This is mostly untrue. Karin has extremely selective empathy, being that she cannot bring herself to understand the ridiculous and trivial reasons which cause a great deal of upset and alarm to most people. It isn’t that she doesn’t want to make friends - She wouldn’t mind making friends if only she could stand most people for more than 10 minutes at a time.

The only child of a workaholic couple, Karin was pretty much raised by her maternal grandmother. She had an uneventful but still quite happy childhood. Growing up in a small town out in the middle of nowhere left little to no sources of amusement or entertainment. Surprisingly, she found her solace in music. More specifically, the violin. She’d taken lessons since she was very young and soon grew to be exceedingly good at it. Though she has no desire to be on stage or even remotely famous, she still practices during her free time.

The same old everything day after day chipped away at her nerves and inspired her dream of travelling the world. Attending an interesting and well reputed college was an important stepping stone in her journey. She’d done quite well in school and as such held no worries about being accepted in. Karin sent out more than a couple of applications. Much to her surprise, she received a letter from a college she hadn’t applied to - CTS. For some inexplicable reason, that was the place she chose in the end.

This seems like it has the potential to be an amazing RP. I'm definitely interested. Is this still open? If not, I'll just shed a few tears and continue to stalk in the hopes that a spot opens up in a completely non-creepy manner. For the most part.
