Hello! Apologies for my absence but life happened. I am back now. :)

"I'm sorry for your loss."Terraline said quietly. She felt guilty for being a bit rude to the girl. This was not a joke and she knew that deep down. Truth was she wasn't quite over what had just happened. Her emotions were all over the place and she had never felt so confused in her life. It felt so dream-like. However, every time she pinched her arm, nothing happened. She had to try to face this with an open mind if they were going to get anywhere with this. It seemed that the only reason she was still alive was because of the people who brought her here. The many questions she had would have to wait. Surely there was someone in charge who could explain everything. This girl had went through the same thing as Terry. Cammy was also kind enough to use her free time to help a stranger. Terry at least owed her some respect and understanding. In fact, she had felt a rush of pain relief in the brief moment that she had held hands with Cammy just the way she described it. "I... I will try to humor you but the thing is: I have no special or bizarre reason. I'm unaware of anyone in my family having-"She broke off as her mind went back to the memory of her brother appearing and disappearing before her eyes. What exactly had he been doing...? With impeccable timing, Xander strolled into the room. Dressed in his usual all-black attire, he made his way over, taking a bite out of an big apple he clutched in his hand. He loomed over the girls with his startling height with slightly interested blue eyes. "Morning, sis. Heard you almost got your throat slit. That sucks." Terry traced the shallow cut on her neck, the memory returning. She swallowed hard. "You okay?" He asked her, plopping down on the bedside. They had never been super close but they could be considered at the least friends. He seemed genuine enough with his inquiry. "Yeah. I'm fine." Terraline replied, "You?" She couldn't help but wonder where he had been in the mess and what had happened to him. "So I'm guessing you know what happened, right?" "Well yeah. I asked around so I can inform your clueless ass. Our parents got murdered by some secret government force and they were gonna kill us too when a bunch of guys showed up and saved us. They then took us to this school to live in. Neat, isn't it?" He took another bite of his apple as his eyes traveled to Cammy, "Hello there beautiful." He gave her a warm smile and a wink. "Thanks for keeping my sister company. It's very sweet of you." "How are you so calm ...?"Terraline asked in surprise. He was acting like none of this was happening. It was just another day to him. "Well no reason for me to freak out. Life happens and we move on." He shrugged and grinned suddenly, "Better get out of here. Josie's right in the next room. " The color drained from Terry's face and she sat up fast, "What?"She whispered. "She's here." "Yep... "He glanced back at Cammy, "Say, cutie, what's your name?"

"Those are both great question," the girl said, "And I'm sure Black will be happy to answer both of them and any more that you have. But for now...take my hand". Terraline stared at the hand outstretched toward her. Did she want to shake it? Did people still shake hands? Terry was pretty sure that gesture was ancient to their generation. Hesitantly, she gave the girl her hand, placing it gently in hers. Terraline was not sure what she expected to happen. Black started explaining 'mutants.' Apparently they were outcasts of society with superpowers. The more he explained, the more she pondered what kind of drugs he had been smoking. By the end of the explanation, she decided crack seemed pretty possible. Well that answered everything. After her parents death, she must have acted freaked out enough to get sent to a loony bin. This was an insane asylum. She was well convinced of this until the shadow of a ball started bouncing around. It had come directly from his shadow. Special effects. Duh. She thought with a sigh. This was not an insane asylum after all; it was all a dumb prank. He went on to tell her that she had a super power too and the people who had attacked her house were mutant killers. Before she could inquire on to whether she was being punked, sounds from the next room interrupted him and he left to check it out. Terraline turned to glare at Cammy, "I'm sorry but is this funny to you people?" Immediately her thoughts went to Josephine. That crazy sociopath was no doubt behind this. These people were her friends and they were screwing with her. This was the last straw. Josephine was going way too far this time. She bit her lip. But then her parents... She had seen their lifeless bodies laying on the ground. She had watched the last of her mother's blood drip from the slit in her neck. That was not a prank. Would Josephine be cruel enough to put her through this after that? Terry already knew the answer to that. She doubted that the girl would even mourn their parents. This was obstacle out of the way to her and now there was no one to stop her from making Terraline's life a complete and living hell. She removed her hand from Cammy's hand with sudden distrust, though it had been there for some moments.

Riverwood Academy

I think I mentioned everyone who is currently in the room with Terry? Haha >.< Btw guys slow down please! Some people haven't done their first posts yet and we don't want to put too much for them to catch up on.

Terraline groggily sat up and stared at the room before her. There seemed to be a girl with pink hair watching her. Her parents would have killed her if she had ever dyed her hair that color but still, it was rather pretty. However, that wasn't the strange part. This girl's nails looked like bird talons. Was this a dream after all? Some other boy joined and began questioning her. She wondered what they were all doing here. Were they here for her? Maybe she was the oddball here. After inhaling deeply, she tried to compose herself and push away the traumatic memory for now. Apparently she was in some sort of school. "How the heck did I end up here?"She muttered under her breath. Another girl squeezed between the two people and came toward her bedside. "Hi" the girl said with a wave, "I'm Cammy. How are you feeling?" "Hey... You can call me Terry. I'm kind of confused to be honest."She admitted. "I have no idea how I ended up here." Some other guy introduced himself as Black and spoke of making sure she should feel welcome in her new home. he also mentioned how she had no knowledge of mutants. After speaking to the others, he had addressed her finally with, "Lastly then, hello young one. Welcome to Riverwood. My name is Black, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Should you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them." He was not the only one to introduce himself. The pink haired girl introduced herself as Ryuu. Although, the other boy seemed to have departed. "Nice to meet you guys. Well for starters, what are mutants and how did I end up here?" Terraline inquired.

Once again, not trying to rush you, but do you do you have an idea of when your second post will be going up Penguin?

@Axilmeus Steel

Oh wow. It must have been much longer than I thought the last time I joined a new roleplay in Casual. I've gotten so used to the speed in Advanced I was a bit surprised at first when I saw this. I guess I'll need to quicken up my snail paced posting a bit more. However that does leave me a question on how often everyone is planning on posting and what exactly would be considered as speed-posting seeing that is one of the rules. I'm used to posting once or twice a week but have been in roleplays that every once in a while included a third post but I have a feeling that if people are already getting in their second post things are going to go much quicker. Although this could just be the excitement of a new roleplay and a ton of people causing this rush of posts.

@Kirra

A couple times of week is good with me ! Just maybe adjust it to 3 times at the minimum? I apologize I'm doing a report. I will not be posting for some hours. By speed posting, I mean don't move on completely without everyone and don't go back and forth with 1 person in a fast pace. I'm letting everyone introduce their characters before moving on.

Riverwood Academy

My post is short. Because I didn't know what to write.

@Caits

You could make something happen with your character if you like! Be creative. Terry's arrival doesn't have to be the only interesting thing happening. BTW I will be explaining the class schedule in post if any of you were wondering.
