Book I: Defiance

[Dannflower Reguba]

OOC: Okay really.  I was gone for ONE day and you just leave me behind? How am I supposed to catch up now! You guys are literally eons ahead of me in RP time!

[Faiyloe]

OOC: You can come in with the next group of students.

Zwelly

"You don't look to good are you OK," Grace interrupted. "Yeah I'll be fine, how about you?" While asking the question he noticed Lu walking away. Calling out to her the mouse said "The worse things are the ones you run from." and then tossed the apple at her. Once he faced Grace again three large bells went off, center island. "Would.. would you like to go check out what that was with me?" he asked her

[Shadefur nightblade]

Right as Screet got relaxed three large bells started booming out, scaring him so much that he fell out of his perch, landing hard on his back and getting the wind knocked from him.he quickly stood, brushing himself off and looking around, hoping no one saw. He walked forward with dignity, but tripped on a root, falling flat on his face. He just sighed and lay there for a second. He stood again and walked more carefully. This time he went over to where the mouse and the squirrel were talking just in time to hear the mouse ask if the squirrel wanted to investigate the noise. "I'll go with you guys, it might be the dinner bell or something." He said quietly and with an edge of nerves in his voice.

  Lu caught the apple with ease, her reflexes very sharp after seasons of her brothers throwing things at her.  Looking back at Zwelly, she smiled a little, taking a bite out of the apple.  Then the bells rung.  She jumped, glancing around to see where they were coming from.  Somewhere not too far, but she hadn't seen any bells in her time here.  Then again, she had passed out, so she didn't see much.

  Walking back to the squirrel and mouse, who'd been joined by Screet, the she-marten asked, "Y-y'mind if I come with?  I mean, you guys are all going, so... um..."  Shut up! she screamed at herself.  Just stop muttering and actually talk!  Of course, she didn't.

Zwelly

Before Zwelly could reply, what looked to be a teacher of some sort opened the gate. "You four!" he exclaimed "To the hall now!". The mouse looked at his fellow students and then followed the would-be teacher.

[Shadefur nightblade]

Screet hurried after the mouse. He was glad that the others were actually paying attention to him nicely. Usually if beasts bothered interacting with him at all it was to tease him, not socialized. It helped to boost his self-esteem and confidence, and he strode boldly forward next to but not in front of the mouse, he wasn't confident enough to lead the others, like the mouse.

  Lucia followed behind the beasts by quite a bit, content to munch on the apple she'd been given.  It was the first real food she'd had in days, other than the mush her parents fed her.  An apple was much better.  Much, much better.

[Faiyloe]

Grace Didn't get a chance to answer before they were interrupted. She fallowed along side Zwelly. "I have been thinking. Why did he give me a choice last night. He forced all the rest of you to face your fears but he gave me a choice. I think I might have almost been more afraid of being forced to do something I didn't want than actually face my fear and by allowing me a choice I think It made it easier. Grated it was terrifying but still, " Grace rubbed her rubbed her black strip as she talked. Now that it was day time and she was with her friends, last night didn't seam quite so bad.      

[Shadefur nightblade]

Screet kept quiet, not wanting to intrude into another conversation, as he could see that the squirrel was talking to Zwelly and not him. He usually had trouble not speaking, but right now he just didn't  feel like talking. Instead he dropped back to in between the mouse and squirrel and the marten.

Zwelly

"My guess is what he told you on that night... You must have a strong desire to help people, and I guess giving you the choice to face the fear and cost of doing so is better than forcing you to. But that's just my guess.." He replied to Grace as they walked up the steps into the hall, about fifty students wearing dark green clothes were sitting at the tables talking, and a few more stood inline for food. "You're uniforms are at the end of the buffet, you must wear it to all meals unless told other wise, you must wear it to classes unless told other wise. You are not aloud to wear it to any formal event. You are aloud to wear your choice of clothes in any time in between. Under your clothes you will find a black robe, you must wear it during the initiation night. No acceptations." After giving the run down of all the information the beast left them.

[Shadefur nightblade]

"Mmm, food sounds good" muttered Screet under his breath moving past the other creatures and into the food line when the beast, who he suspected was a teacher, finished speaking. Uniforms, well that was alright with him, as long as they fed him. He wondered what there was to eat.

[Faiyloe]

OOC: when you say initiation night do you mean other peoples initiation night?

BIC: Grace walked over to the table and began loading a tray. She was starving she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. When she reached the end of the buffet she took her uniforms and tucked it under her arm. She waited for Zwilly and then went to go sit down. taking a seat away from every one else. She normally would have gone to sit with the other students and try to see what it was like here but she wanted to be able to talk with her friend without having people listening to there every word. Any way she thought some of the others would be a little more comfortable. 

[Shadefur nightblade]

Screet moved through the buffet slowly, piling up food very high on his plate. He held the plate in both paws and his uniform in his mouth. He looked around the mess hall for friendly faces, and saw the squirrel called Grace sitting away from the other students. He went over and sat across from her. He spat out his uniform and began digging in, talking in between bites."So,*munch*when do you think*crunch, slurp* we'll have* smack, swallow* our first classes?" he asked plowing through his food with vigor.

[Dannflower Reguba]

OOC: Soooooo.... What happens now?  

EDIT: *smacks face* doh, just read the OOC.
