Okay kids... it's time to try to start another Role-playing Thingamajig. The last one did fairly well, but quickly died off. The destruction of the old site was pretty much it's final breath. But, hopefully, this new one will intrigue all the old players and prod a few new folks to joining in as well.

The rules are the same for all message board role-playing things. Make up your own character(s), write what they're doing, and continue along the story. Comments on the story must be flagged as OOC or Out of Character, and please try to keep them to a minimum. You can only write for your own character(s) - no deciding so-and-so's character runs off a cliff to their doom. I'll be on hand as a deciding factor, if folks reach an impass on how a certain event should conclude. Also, if anyone has any questions about the world or whatever, PM me. I'm hoping my first entry will answer all your questions.

Otherwise, on with the story.

Chambers High

"Welcome, students!"

An older, well-dressed gentleman stood on the stage of the auditorium, addressing the crowd of new students before him. While he had many years under his belt, he still seemed spry and knowledgable of today's youth.

"Welcome to your first year at Chambers High School. We hope that your stay here will be pleasant, and that you will learn many things that will make you and your families proud."

He placed his hand in his pocket. It seemed as if he had done the same speech for many years. This was all old hat to him... the same thing every year. Another flock leaves the nest while a new batch of hatchlings enters.

"My name is Dr. Jenkin Stein. I am the Principal of Chambers High, and your last line of authority. I do not tolerate disobedience, however I do reward those who follow my rules."

He leaned against the podium, and lowered his tone, as if he were to revealing new and exciting information. However, the students had all heard the same story.

"You are all here because you are all special. Each of you has powers and abilities that ordinary humans do not. Some of you have super abilities. Our superhero and supervillain courses will teach you all you need to know. Others are 'creatures of the night' or are one with the supernatural. We have many courses for you as well. And even those of you whose abilities have yet to manifest, or are, well, undefined, we will help you find your place as well. When you leave this school, you will have the skills to make it in this world! You will make a difference!"

He paused, waiting for applause, but only received a few claps from somewhere in the audience. Unaffected, he continued.

"Thank you. If you have any problems, or just want to talk, do not be afraid to approach me. I am there for you. Meanwhile, your luggage and personal items have been sent to your rooms. Make yourselves at home. Get to know your roommates. The next four years will be over faster than you think, so enjoy them while you can. Classes begin tomorrow at 6 AM. Dismissed."

As the students slowly filed out of the auditorium, the principal heard a familiar and not entirely unwelcome sound. Suddenly, a ball of plasma shot itself across the room and caught a student (who did, in fact, deserve it) right in the chest. A shadow lept across the room and towered over the troublemaker, holding what appeared to be a glowing purple mop.

"I clean your messes, I cut the hedges, and I work my fingers to the bone to make sure you brats have a normal life nine months out of the smegging year! And you lot have the audacity to make sport of me before you've even got settled!! Godron Bennet!! Ya should be glad I've only got me mop set to Force 2. I am the Cyborg Janitor, and if any of you little snots makes another Darth Vader pun, I'll give ye a taste of me all mighty plasma mop!! And if ye're the kind who's made out of plamsa....er....I'll think of something equally horrible!! Now come on, kid. Let's get you to Medical."

The Janitor lifed the student with one mechanical arm, put him over his shoulder, and walked briskly out of the building.

A pale young man dressed in black stared at the retreating cyborg janitor from behind his sunglasses.

"I'm getting the feeling that this was a bad idea."

He shook his head and weaved his way through the crowd of students in search of the principal. He had a problem with the beginning time of the classes.

one of the smaller seemingly just another face in the crowd of teens was left sitting on the bleachers watching a huge herd of students exit the room....particuarly observant of another student a guy waering sunglasses and black clothes she could not see his expression from there but got the feeling he was rather irritated about somthing that was going to happen early tommorow

A clumsy teen walked along with the crowd. He didn't seem much different from the other kids. He was wearing a dirty blue jacket. He always wore this jacket.

Right before he got out of the auditorium, he slipped. Books came flying out of his bag. He got up, ruffling his black hair.

Purple goo? Whatever happened to plain old water? He thought to himself. He brushed himself off, gathering the books. He looked around. It appeared that a janitor and a short kid were the only ones left in the auditorium. I wonder what this school's like. Will I have to study alot? What food will I eat? Why the early classes? He started walking back, fumbling with his books. He suddenly got a confused look on his face.

And why do I have these books in the first place?

A girl walks from the auditorium randomly exploring the campus. She walks around for several minutes until she finds a chair and a desk in front of a picture window. She sits down and practices caligraphy. She thinks to herself, "I wish i didn't have to be inside, on a beautiful day like this." She looks up from her paper and finds herself outside...

"You there, no teleportin' on school grounds! And stay off the grass, for mercy's sake..."

by **aquarius** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 1:26 am

she looks over to the cyber janitor and looses the thought she was having...*sigh* "i hate things that yell" and she slowly starts to walk out of the nearly empty room wishing at least one person had talked to her durring the assembly

by **Omega_Lax** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 1:30 am

In the midst of the mob exiting, a young boy stands leaning against a wall. He's dressed in black pants, with a black overshirt, with a design of drawn flames on it...

He stands there, bored, and appears to have no feeling towards the school whatsoever. He begins to get caught in a daze, and remembers why he came....

"....I'm sorry....., I'm sorry...." He says at last, and walks off to join the crowd.

still walking down the long hall to find her room talking to herself "maby if i could stop lighting things on fire ...people would talk to me ..and mom would let me come home ...."

by **Celey_the_Ego** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:20 am

The young man walked past the boy that is dressed in nearly the same color and style of clothes as him. He glanced at the boy.

"Nice clothes."

The boy hadn't seemed to have heard him, though. Murmuring something that sounded like 'I'm sorry'. The young man shrugged his shoulders and continued wandering around looking for the principal. He carefully avoided the cyborg janitor. Not that he was scared or anything, it wasn't like some mighty plasma mop would be able to keep him down for long. He just didn't feel like getting on any of the staff's bad side. He wandered around the school and sighed.

"I have absolutely no idea where I am going."

glances outa window as she makes her way up the stairs to the girls dorm rooms and notices the same boy she was watching earlier from the bleachers she gets closer to the window and starts to watch him again

by **Celey_the_Ego** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:41 am

The young man yawned. He had gotten up early to get to the school. It hadn't been pleasant for him. He had been up all during the previous afternoon and night. This was not unusual for him. He crossed his arms and scowled. He was definitely not a morning person. Suddenly, he got the feeling he was being watched. He glanced around, curiously. Then, he looked at the girl staring at him through a window. He stared back at her for a moment or two, but decided not to venture near. If his hunch was correct, that was where the girls' dorms were. Drawing attention to himself just wasn't what he wanted.

He walked quickly into a shadowy area of the school vanishing from the girl's sight.

by **TheSageBean** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:45 am

"I don't even know why I'm here," The boy was pacing his room. He had a habit of waking up early,"Squee, I can move a pencil and then faint. I'm sure I'm going to get my butt kicked by everybody else here. Why is everybody wearing black? Is this the flaming goth's society or something?"

by **Celey_the_Ego** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 2:48 am

The young man had heard the other boy's comment. He looked down at his clothes, which were, as previously mentioned, black. He didn't know black was such a fashionable color, but he supposed it was just as well that he could blend in. He continued down the shadowy hall wondering if the principal had an office or something.
