((Finally, I mostly have a character, although I'm still trying to develop a personality, so bear with me! ))

"Caitlyn Whittaker, have you yet to find a constructive way to spend the free time we give you? Perhaps devoloping your weakness?" the corrections professor asked the girl sitting on the other side of his desk. She simply looked back at him blankly, as though she were staring at a rock or tree trunk. "Ms. Whittaker, do you have an answer for your actions?"

"I have no satisfactory answer to give you, sir," Lyn replied in a dull voice, still staring blankly at the man.

Suddenly, there was a beep, and the professor picked up a sophisticated cell phone and listened to the voice on the other end.

"Maybe it's a man wearing a three-piece black suit, but he wears white socks because he turns on his heels so much that he wears through black dress socks so quickly it's useless to continue buying them. He wears glasses, because he doesn't like the thought of putting contacts in his eyes. His green eyes. His voice is a tade high, but not so much that he seems weak. Cory designed those phones, and they were put into effect only months after he completed them. Now they keep Cory in a glass jar where he stares at little microchips all day. Good thing he likes microchips, and good thing he doesn't need glasses, but if he keeps staring, he probably will." Lyn thought to herself, staring blankly at the phone the professor was holding.

"Well, it looks like we have found a fitting way for you to redeem yourself," the corrections professor announced as he snapped the phone shut. Another guard, as the students called them, entered the room almost immediately after the professor pushed a button on his desk. He grabbed Lyn harshly by the arm and lead her out of the room.

Lyn first noticed that everyone was leaving the caf as she was being lead towards it. It also smelled like smoke and...barbeque? The caf looked hazy, but she couldn't figure out why.

"You need to go inside and fix the incinerators," the guard said, handing her off to another one.

"The incinerators are computer controlled," Lyn replied solemnly, "Shouldn't one of the scientist students be the one to fix it?"

"There's a reset button in each one that needs to be switched. It's clearly marked, but it's a small space," the guard smiled and pulled her over to the first garbage can that had finally been put out.

They passed by the single file line of students exiting, Lyn saw a new girl. She new it was a new girl because she was physically shaking and her green eyes were wide with fear. She'd lose that look eventually. She reached out to touch the girl's shoulder, but wasn't sure if she made contact. She lost sight of the new girl as all the students crowded into the gym.

"The power of touch. At my fingertips. Is that a book title? Green eyes. Is that a song title? Song, music, dance, freedom. Freedom? Escape? Animals in glass jars and metal cages. Stop poking the animals. Stop tapping the glass. Trash cans. Burn it all so there's no trace. Maybe clan of gnomes or dwarves live down here and they wear pointed hats and throw in the dead bodies to feed the fire." Lyn thought, unconsiouly trying to pull down her red plaid skirt to cover more of her legs.

The trash can had already been disconnected from the wall, and it was a fairly clear passage into the electronics of the incinerator. While two guards stood on either side, Lyn crawled inside and virtually disappeared. It took her awhile, and it was very warm inside, but she found the panel the reset switch was behind, took it off, and flipped the small red switch. After counting off the seconds like she was told, she flipped the switch back the other way. There was a noise, but then everything seemed to go to a normal sounding hum. Lyn replaced the panel and crawled back out.

One of the guards grabbed her and pulled her up before she was able to get all the way out, and then shown the next hole to crawl into. "Come on," the guard said, "just because you aren't being timed doesn't mean you can play around in there."

Lyn gave him a "yeah right" look before disappearing into the second hole.

((How's that for possibly psychotic?? This is going to be too fun!!))

 

[Jenka]

((NOTE: I will also be playing Kael. I will post his bio shortly..anyone can interact with him as like any char..that is all ))

Niff waited in the exercise room, her eyes wandered along the rows of faces, some were excited, some scared, the majority bored.

"Hello Jennifer." A voice said.

Inwardly Niff groaned. It was Kael..the school's poster boy.
He was 18 as well, had short blond hair and green eyes. Kael was also all of the teachers pet.
Niff could see why, he was strong, athletic and handsome.
Most people were happy to have him address them. Niff found him condesending and rude, not to mention egotistical.
She though of just ignoring him, but then again, he could always be used..he did have a lot of the teachers ears.

Niff smiled. "Hello Kael, what a surprise meeting you here."

Kael half grinned. "Must you always be sarcastic?"

"No." Niff said with a quick wink.

Kael laughed. "So, crazy what happened with the garbage bins eh?"

Niff nodded. "And I think I know who pulled it off too." She raised an eyebrow and smirked.
Instantly she had his attention..oh wouldn't he just love to be the one to take down the "disorderly."

"Really?" Kael leaned against the gym wall, smiling his most charming.

Niff tried not to sneer. "Oh yes.." She half turned away. "But it's a secret."

"A secret eh? Well what if I tell you one of mine in exchange?" He said laughing, though his eyes were serious.

"Not good enough." Niff shook her head. She sighed suddenly. "You know I always wanted to go star gazing, but they never let us out that late at night." She looked up at him sadly. "It's too bad really..that someone couldn't help me get a key so I can go stargazing." She sighed pathetically.

Kael snorted. "No way."

"Well I think it's time for me to go over there now..byes!" She grinned starting to walk away.

Kael grabbed her arm in a strong grip, Niff turned around sharply. "Let me go." She said darkly.

Kael dropped her arm, and ran a frustrated hand through his hair. "Fine, I'll see what I can do..but I'm not promising anything."

Niff's hard face broke into a large grin. "Oh you'd do that for me?! Thank you so much Kael!" She stepped into him and hugged him tight.

"One keycard for one disorderly." She said into his ear.

Suddenly she sprang back. "Anyway, I better go! See you soon Kael!" Niff chirruped and waved as she molded into the crowd of students.

 

[swordkitty]

Liz shrank away from the guys, looking around desperately for Julie's familiar face. Just as the guy in the back started going towards her, one of the teachers shouted out, "Everyone get to your dorms! NOW." THe students began shuffling towards the entrance. One of the teachers muttered to another, "We need to find the culprit and punish them." Liz almost laughed. You didn't catch me last time, did you?

 

[Everloving]

((Rockerchic, Jordan can be that guy!!))

Jordan got up and followed the others out, keeping a close on the small girl in front of him. She was very small, maybe a quarter of his size. Once in the gym, he turned to her.

"So.." his deep voice seemed to echo, "you're new here, huh?"

 

[Jenka]

Kael watched Niff go a annoyed look on his face.

She was always able to do that, to sneak around and force his hand into doing something.

Da**it..where am I going to get a key card? He thought.

Suddenly the call rang out for the students to go to their dorms.
He walked around the other students and teachers making his way slowly towards the door, his mind still whirring about how to access this keycard..
Kael saw Jordan talking to a small girl and by the looks and size of her, she was new here.

"Oy! Jordan." Kael called smiling, as he walked towards the twosome. "Already trying to pick up the new girl?" He grinned and turned to the girl.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm only joking. Jordan's a great guy," Kael slapped him on the back.

"I'm Kael by the way. Kael Keegan." Not waiting for her to put out her hand he took it and gave it an enthusiastic shake. "Nice to meet you. Sorry you had to start out here with a day like this." He looked around at the students like milling sheep.
"Normally it's much more peaceful, but we've got a prankster around lately it seems."

Kael put a hand to his throat and loosened his tie. "Ah..better." He smiled. "Stupid things feel like they're chokin' ya."

He turned his attention back to the girl. "So what level are you at?"

Normally students were organized according to age, but sometimes if a student had a gift in another area they would be premoted to a higher level in that area.
There was level 1-12.

Kael's stats were high as he was almost finished school. He was 11 in eveything except hand-to-hand combat, where he was a 12. That came with his extrodinary strength.

It wasn't a bad thing if you weren't a 12 in something, because the range of gifts varied so much, it was very unlikely that a person could be a 12 in more then one or two areas.
Kael was just bearly keeping up with his level 11 tech course, while some kids 3 years younger than him were flying through.

((Everloving I hope it's okay that my char knows yours. If not I'll edit..also because we still didn't know about "grades" yet for the school I added levels to sort of organize ourselves a little..again I hope that's okay Kitty. ))

 

[Everloving]

Jordan grinned.

"Hey Kael. How are ya man?? Yeah.. crazy day.."

he looked around to see if anyone was listening in.

"Dude, you still interested in getting out of here?? Maybe not perminently... but for a few days?? What do ya say??"

 

[rockerchic]

one of the teachers shouted out, "Everyone get to your dorms! NOW."

Clover followed the line of students out of the gym. She was looking down as normal, wondering if she could try to fix her skirt so that it would actually fit her. All the other students were larger than her so that was the smallest size they had .

Clover was very suprized when she heard a deep voice from behind her say
"so, you're new here, huh?"

Oh it was that huge guy that she had to next to at lunch! She was scared then but now he was actually talking to her. She was terrified!!

"yes, i gues so" she answered quickly then wished he would dissappear. Just as she answered another guy came up and started talking to the huge guy next to her. He introduced himself as Kael and grabbed her hand to shake it . This gesture made Clover feel completely intimidated. her first impression of this loud guy was not a good one.

Next he asked her what level she was at. She remebered when they tested her abilities to check her level; it was only yesterday. She softly answered.

"They placed me as level 10 in mechanics, inventing, constructing, and electronics; but I'm a 1 in all physical catigories; and a 6 in all other forms of education"

((clover isn't giftedly smart she just knows her machines))

Next the big guy from lunch who she assumed was Jordan from Kael's conversation, Leaned close to Kael and wispered

"Dude, you still interested in getting out of here?? Maybe not perminently... but for a few days?? What do ya say??"

Clover ignored that comentand turned to the to boys, not sure which one scared her more, and asked

"Do you know where the phone is? i wanna call my mom. i askedthe teacher who showed me around the school but he just ignored the question."

 

[swordkitty]

((no prob. sounds like fun))

Liz sat in a corner, totally lost. She had no idea which hall of the school the crowd had spit her into. She silently flipped open her little computer and did a scan of the school. Ah....da**, I'm in the other side!!!! She could see the little blips on the screen were poeple. She zoomed in on the nearest ones, unfortunately recognizing none. Not so good. One of the teachers were getting closer.

Liz began walking as fast as she could, desperately trying to get to the other side. Not that it was an easy task. She could see more dots on the screen, and...YES! JULIAAAAAAA!!!!!! She resisted the urge to scream her friend's name as she ran towards the corner.

((INTERACT WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!))
((I'll give you a cookie~ You know you want one.))

 

[FireRock]

Lyn pulled herself out of the last hole in the wall and stood waiting for the guard. He was talking to someone else, a higher level by the look of his attire.

There was an announcement in the gym, but Lyn didn't hear it. Then she watched the gym doors open and the students shuffle toward the dorms like cattle.

"Moo," she thought to herself, a corner of her lip turning up.

"Hey, you!" the guard finally noticed she was standing there and walked up into her personal space, "didn't you hear the announcement? Get back to your dorm, now!"

Lyn cocked her head as though she was processing what the guard was saying, but then she suddenly turned and walked off towards her dorm room. She melted into the crowds of students, listening absently to the random conversations around her and trying to pull her skirt down to cover more of her legs.

Suddenly she noticed that her sleeves and legs and such had gotten dirty inside the garbage incinerator. She pondered the dirt on her hands as she turned down another hall and headed up the stairs.

"So who do you think the prankster is?" one girl asked as she sat in her doorway with a small toolkit and a few scrap pieces.

"Dawn and I have been going through the probabilities to create a profile," the other girl said as she sat in her doorway across the hall with a small notebook and a pen, "It has to be female, and someone who has been going here for awhile. We have yet to narrow down her levels or some of the other key characteristics, but Dawn is thinking she'll be put on a research team to find out who the prankster is. Lucky her." The girl flipped a page in her notebook and held her next sentence until Lyn had walked by. "Remember, it takes three to create a pattern. There's been more than three pranks, definitely, so it shouldn't be too hard."

"Yeah, unless she's a geek like you guys. Level 12 geeks can be pretty hard to track down," the other girl said as she picked up a small, pointed needle-nose pliers.

"Kind of like Level 12 mechanics?" she answered sarcastically, and both girls laughed.

Lyn rolled her eyes at the conversation, having one with herself in her own mind. No one else was in her room yet, so she took advantage of the empty bathroom, grabbed a new uniform and jumped into the shower. Afterwards, she pulled on her clean red plaid skirt and a long-sleeved white button-up shirt. There was one of her ties on the door handle, but she groaned in protest to wearing it.

Trying to pull her skirt down, Lyn watched as two of her roommates, Ellie and Jade, came in. They took off their ties and flopped down on their beds, obviously bored. Lyn looked at them for a moment as she combed through her long hair. She couldn't remember what levels they were at or anything, but she knew that Ellie used to sing because she heard her humming in the bathroom sometimes and she had a good voice. "Maybe she sang at church," Lyn thought. Jade was an only child who lived with her dad, but she might have had a brother. She was really good at fixing things, but she was better at sparring in the gym. Lyn was in most of her martial arts classes with Jade, and she was really good.

"Hey Lyn, have they found the prankster yet?" Ellie asked. Lyn thought she still had her sing-song voice that she came in with, although it was dulled over time at the school.

"Close but not quite I hear," Lyn replied in her dull voice.

"I bet their going to profile them and then they'll wait until they try to pull another prank! Devious..." Jade said with a grin, but was interrupted by Eille.

"But so predictable," Ellie sighed, "They have to be a geek, at least Level 9 or 10. They'll be expecting it. Heck, they might even get on the research team that is sent to investigate."

"Ironic," Lyn agreed, jumping up onto her bed in two graceful moves. The two girls laughed and Lyn smiled at the joke.

Emily sighed as she headed towards her doorm. When she got there she saw that
she had arived before her roommate. Emily sat on her bed and processed all that
had gone on that day, so far. She wondered where her roommate was...It was odd
that she didn't remember the girls name. But then she had been through 4 roommates
with in the last year, and hadn't bothered to commet the names to memory. Emily
wondered if this girl would last longer then the other, who couldnt seem to stand
her nit-picky ways, as they called, and the fact that she rmemebered almost every
thing they said of did.


((Hows that so far?))

 

[Jenka]

Jordan grinned.

"Hey Kael. How are ya man?? Yeah.. crazy day.."

he looked around to see if anyone was listening in.

"Dude, you still interested in getting out of here?? Maybe not perminently... but for a few days?? What do ya say??"

Kael gave Jordan and a slight shake of the head that clearly said "not now."

"I'm sorry." Kael said with a smile. "I still haven't caught your name, but as to the phones, I'd forget about that for a while. They only let us phone home about once a month, and we've got at least another 2 weeks to go.." He smiled.

"Don't worry though, they call your parents when you arrive telling them you got here safely. You can write letters though, and those you can mail at anytime."

Kael smiled.

"Anyway, we better head off to the dorms. See you later." He waved.

Jordan and Kael shared a dorm, and because they were both gifted in strength, they generally went to the gym together.
This wasn't the exercise gym, this was the workout gym and if you were a level 11 or higher you got your own keycard so you could work out at any point during the day.

Kael walked with Jorden. "You shouldn't of said that man, not right in front of the newb." He said sharply.

 

[Everloving]

Jordan crined. Kael was right. That was stupid of him.

"yeah... but that girl didn't seem so bad. She looked so scared and out of place... Hey!! Maybe we cou;d take her around, introduce her to some of the other kids her age."

Jordan wasn't usually this open with newbies, but this girl reminded him of someone...

 

[swordkitty]

((HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!)) ((someone TALK TO MEEEEEEEE!!!))

((plz?))

 

[Star_Splitter87]

Alexius was what you would call a troubled student. Before the level program began, aka they screwed up and had to rethink how they were going to destroy what little humanity the children who go here had, they had created men and women who had equal gifts in all fields and skills.

However, this created a problem for the scientists. These students were intelligent, however very few exceeded in their gifts past a certain level, what they would call level 10 now. Not bad, but not 'perfect'. But that was the least of the problems this design had. After a certain age, usually around 10 or 12, the children would start to have mental problems. Due to their large brain power, insanity seemed to be teeming within. Most of the children had killed themselves by some sort of accident by the age of 15 because of the illusions and madness that infested their brains. The rest still living eventually became vegtables in a seperate wing of the school, never to awake again.

She had been one of those students. For months she had laid there, lost in her own thoughts and dreams, lost in her fanatsy world without a way of returning. But then, something happened that the scientists did not expect. They should have you know, but they were so perplexed by the whole situation. They had already abandoned the first model humans and had not a year or so after her own birth began to breed sub-perfect humans. These were the current students of today. But Alexius' DNA had changed during her slumber and allowed her to awake.

What happened to Alexius was mind boggling, and still the scientists couldn't put their finger on it. Since the age of 4 she had been brought in earily to be evaluted. They noticed her DNA seemed to change erradically without warning. Her physical self remained the same, but her DNA was changing constantly. A little nudge there, a little tweek here. Small but important genetic changes that disallowed DNA identification which was one of the procedural precautions of the school. Which is how they caught it of course, what fools. Over the years, she counted how many times her DNA had changed. She was now up to fifty-two, and that was how many times they had caught it. Who knew how much it had changed during their confusion and pre-arrival years. Now her gifts were significantly higher, regestering at a 12 in excerise activies, and 10 or 11 in everything else. But her mental state was still uneasy, and episodes of anger and death had happened before and still after her coma-state. Mediation, she found, in later years seemed to be the only high sucess rate way she had to control herself and her illusions.

Alexius scowled as she got up from her perfectly quiet dinner to go running around because of some little sharlatan had decisided it was a grand sceem to disrupt the school. She had been thinking on who it was, like the others, however she was now with complete proof. Nudging through the crowd, students recognizing her annoyed look, cowards away. Even the ones closer to her age and gifts seemed unhinged by her presence. She was famous in school for very .... wicked reasons.

Her observation powers were not of course meant to hunt one of their own, who themselves were trained to avoid certain kinds of observation, but even those perfect prodigies made mistakes.

Liz, that was her name. She had been near the top of her suspect list for quite some time. Others had been busy contemplating a profile. Why must they complicate things when it was so much easier to simply watch the cocky little genius and see who is grinning a little too wickedly after a mishap.

Following her, Alexius quickly found her alone, obviously having lost and was now looking for someone. Stepping in front of her as she ran out to catch up with another girl, Alexius took hold of her arm and whispered to her darkly, "Hello Liz. May I have a word?"

 

[rockerchic]

Kael gave Jordan and a slight shake of the head that clearly said "not now."

"I'm sorry." Kael said with a smile. "I still haven't caught your name, but as to the phones, I'd forget about that for a while. They only let us phone home about once a month, and we've got at least another 2 weeks to go.." He smiled.

"Don't worry though, they call your parents when you arrive telling them you got here safely. You can write letters though, and those you can mail at anytime."

Kael smiled.

"Anyway, we better head off to the dorms. See you later." He waved.

This wasn't the exercise gym, this was the workout gym and if you were a level 11 or higher you got your own keycard so you could work out at any point during the day.

Kael walked with Jorden. "You shouldn't of said that man, not right in front of the newb." He said sharply.

my name is Clover. She answered quickly, but her mind was on someting else. The boys eventually left.

Clover thought to herself if i had known i wouldn't be able to call my mom all the time, i wouldn't have agreed to come to this school.

She was begining to see how much she would eventually hate this place. Clover looked at her tag and found her dorm room number. She walked through the halls then relized she had no idea where she was going. She had recieved a map of the enrormous school but left in her bag in her room .
"Smart move Clover" she said to herself.

Her heart began to beat faster. the halls were now empty and she was alone. She knew she wasn't suppose to be out any more and was afriad of gettting in trouble if a teacher found her. She began to walk faster and faster until she found herself dashing as fast as she could, which wasn't all that fast.

She stopped for a second to regain her breath. the hall was all quiet. then suddenly Clover heard footsteps coming towards her!!!!!

 

[rockerchic]

HAPPY HAPPY B-Day EVERLOVING!!!!!

 

[sk8terdude]

The students were all rushing to their dorms. Lenny found the whole garbage incident histerical. He would probably rat on the guilty nerd if found who did it. A short guy with curly red hair and glasses walked passed lenny . lenny picked up his pace to catch up and stuck out his leg and tripped the poor boy.

"watch where you're walking" Lenny chuckled

He walked passed a tall blond girl, gave a smooth grin and started to run fast to show off. When he turned away from the girl to look where he was going he was stopped when one of the chemistry teachers grabbed him by his collar. he imediately stopped but his shirt alraedy tore half down his back.

"this is the third time today a teacher has told you to slow down" the teacher practically yelled.

"do u teachers just sit around and talk about how many times u yell at us" Lenny sarcasticly remarked.

"third times the charm, you'll be pondering the correct walking speed tonight in detention"

"Man not again" He moaned.

just perfect he thought.

 

[swordkitty]

Liz looked up, more than slightly confused. Ok, who is this again?

"Uh...sure...?" She attempted to wrench her arm out of the other girl's grip.

 

[DragonRider]

Skyla was walking down the hallway when she saw a tall, black haired boy trip Carl, one of the compuer kids. Appaled, she stared at the guy, who looked back at her and smiled. She was about to reprimand him when the guy suddenly sped off down the hall, apparently trying to impress her. He didn't.

She alked off down the hall and, being distracted by the guy, bumped right into another guy!!

 

[Everloving]

Jordan walked down the hall. He saw a small newbie fall over some jerks outstretched leg. He rudhe to help the poor kid up, and turned to walk away. Suddenly, a blonde girl appeared infont of him, and they collided!!

"Ahh!" he yelled as they both fell to the ground. He quickly jumped up and helped her to her feet.

"Sorry! I- I didn't see you!!"

He recognized the girl as Skyla. Her story was sort of a legend. She was the only one there to have never lived in the average world. She had always lived as a 'super' human. He had always been rather jealous of hefor that, but he also felt bad for her. But mainly, he just thought she was cute.
