City of IF

[tramp in a storm]

*Stands infront of the large, heavy wooden doors to a large building which closely represents a small castle at the edge of the city, some way away from the houses and right on the boarder by the sea and not too far from where the chatroom is situated on the hill. Pulls out a large, gold key and puts it in the lock. There is a loud bang and then the door open inwards, moving almost silently.

Smiles as she sees the Grand Entrace reveal itself to her. Steps in and starts to walk around the corridoors.

Takes in a deep breath.*

"Aaaahhh! Nice to be back!

UMPEON! I CHOOSE YOU!" *throws out a small blue ball which looks like a pokeball and a creature cross between a pokemon and an umpa lumpa appears*

"Go to the reception and help people sign up."

*the creature nods and goes to the reception*

Wow! haven't RPed in a while...

Ok then peoples! I think this is the third Magic School I've had going and let me tell you the first two were pretty chaotic, thanks to everyone who joined! So you have some pretty decent competition!

So please come in, sign up at the reception. Umpeon should give you your own Umpa Ball cointaining an Umpamon which you may use as you please or you may bring in your own creature or slave or go without. Whatever, I'm not bothered! :D
An Umpamon (cross pokemon and umpa lumpa) will serve you and ask for nothing but 5 minutes rest a day and a decent meal. They are highly efficient, good workers and eat almost anything.

Please, when you sign up give your name, species, if you are student or teacher and quickly say what powers and weapons you have. You may give a description if you can be bothered but if it's long don't expect people to remember it.

We also don't want a long list of powers and weapons.

You can't turn back time.

If I set a rule, you follow it.

You can sign up as a Special student and/or a teacher
Feel free to find your own way round the school. I'd help but I don't know my way round everywhere anyway.

I'll sign myself up on the next post and start the RP. Any questions, feel free to ask!
Special students do not have to go to bed at sunset!

[tramp in a storm]

My name is Tramp in a Storm.
I am a witch and the Headmistress of this unfortunate school.
I come from Mars
I control Storms and have a sword and a shield.

All young students to bed! *the sun sets and all the little uns go to bed and out the way*

*Runs to the canteen and presses the Bar Button to turn the room into a bar.*

Give me some good old Ale, Umpy! and let the party begin!

*is served by the umpamon who then puts on some super loud music*
*waits for more peeps to come and join her*

[DeadManWalking]

I remember one of the old ones.

heh heh.

that was fun.

ok, here we go.

Name: Marcus (no surname, that's all he goes by)

Species: An intelligent Zombie in very good condition

Profession: A teacher

Subject: Necromancy and Applied Magical Combat.

Powers: Necromancy and control of balefire

Weapons: A Sickle-Sword.

Description: Very quiet. Is only here for the magical research library to increase his own powers.

Marcus swept into bar, ignoring the eager umpamon that offered him a drink eagerly.

His gaunt gray face cracked into a forced smile at the drinking Headmistress.

"Thank you for your directions Headmistress. I apologize for the necessity for my absence at your wonderful... party. But I am afraid I am feeling unwell."

The false smile was replaced with a genuine one.

"Perhaps I shall go to the library. There is nothing that settles the stomach like a good read from a book of spells."

"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- whoops was that out loud? Um... I apologize. I feel more unwell than i thought."

He swept out of the room, his black robes sweeping on the floor like a broom sweeping the floor. Actually pretty much exactly like that. Not that he meant to do that. He had been hoping for something more... dramatic.

[tramp in a storm]

Woo! *welcomes the zombie* I think the Library is upstairs somewhere! *offers Marcus a drink*

Power: Currently only controls fire and and heals small wounds, but there are signs of more. . . .

[Novelest_Ninjagirl]

Swings bag over her shoulder and glances out at the school. "WEll, not like I'd imagined, but what the hey, I'll give it a freaking shot." She took a few steps forward, her strappy sandles smacking the floor loudly.

[Gallant]

My name is Sean.
I am a hammer, (or at least a spirit trapped in a hammer.)
That's a warhammer, I am not a simple carpenters tool.
I'm pretty simple looking, solid steel handle, 3ft long with a large cuboid shaped weight at the end.
My powers consist of floating around, changing my weight for user friendly purposes and focusing the power of someones true spirit through me. (Depending on who is wielding me I'll explain the power cause I'm a talking hammer too.)
I spose my only weakness is a powerful furnace or a good exorcist. :D

[shy_blu_eyes]

Name: Violet Wisper

Species: Human

Occupation: Graduate Assistant

Powers: BM (Bachelors of Magic) in Divinations, Minors in Enchantments and Abjurations, currently doing graduate studies in Auramancy (Divination with a focus in reading Auras). Some training in the more technical arts of Alchemy and Glyphs. Her greatest power is her talent for library research.

Weapons: none

Familiar: Skimbleshanks, a wiry black cat who can understand speech and communicate empathicly.

(More to follow, currently browsing the library stacks)

[Phang]

Name: Crooked
Species: Humanoid...
Occupation: Student
Associates: Is accompanied by Bent, A 4.7 GESS tasked with looking after her.
Powers: Hypnotism, telepathy and other mind-screwing fun. Avoid eye contact.
Weapons: Bent does the fighting. Check out that big bloody* cleaver!
Appearance: Crooked sways around constantly - it's amazing she stays upright. She wears what may have been fine silk clothes at one point, but have been worn down by time and use. Her reddish hair is unkempt, and her eyes entirely black, occasionally seeming to flash...
Bent moves in a similar poor-postured manner to his consort, though less so. His green hair runs like a mane round his neck and back, and covers his eyes. He still wears his clinical, uniform outfit from his time in the GESSwerk before purchase - simple white robes - as well as a chain round his neck with a medallion, bearing a simplistic yet evil face picked out in gems. How strangely valuable...


*In all meanings of the word.

[tramp in a storm]

*hears everyone come in and sign up at reception* Yes, you can have any pet you like! *is going to be sorry for this but ah well*

*is bored and so decides to put pins on all the seats in the bar*

[Black Hawk]

Yay undead stuff I'll try not to make it too overpowered

[shy_blu_eyes]

OOC: Hope it's okay to get things started like this...

Violet was browsing the library stacks looking for a misshelved copy of Roab's Flash Identification: Interpreting Common Instantaneous Marks in Human Auras, when a creeping shadow, heavy with the sensation of death and malice and pulsing with necromantic power, swept over her like a tsunami. Her heart caught anxiously in her chest as she prepared for the worst...

Marcus, the Professor of Necromancy, entered the library with the silence of the grave.

[Phang]

Crooked swayed about on her toes as she glanced around nervously. "This place...is...different." She turned to Bent, though her eyes were cast to the ground. "It worries me."

"Come now, Crooked," Bent lifted his hair from his eyes to quickly take in the scenery - and just as quickly dropped it again. "Master and Mistress' substitute said, this is the best place to sharpen your skills." Not to mention, this was where his owners were supposed to have gone missing...Bent was sworn to secrecy on that matter, but he couldn't help remembering...

"I...think I'd like to go somewhere calmer, Bent."

"Think, or know?" Ohh, human indecisiveness...no GESS could ever be prepared for that greatest of obstacles in obedience... "There's always the library over there."

"G-good idea." Crooked took tentative steps towards the door, avoiding gaps in the floorboards, Bent following behind. He stepped up and opened the door for her - letting loose the powerful, sense-assaulting force of death caused by Marcus.

Crooked was, unfortunately, not accustomed to such a sensation, rocking backwards even more so than usual, her teeth gritted. Bent moved to hold her up, glaring into the space of the library as if to challenge the unseen threat.

... that is until he tripped over a stool. (OOC: Sorry, couldn't help it. I'll stop ruining the moments)

However, Marcus recovered quickly, glancing around to make sure nobody noticed. Thankfully, nobody did.

After brushing himself off, the skeletal zombie continued his browsing of the shelves, until a particularly weighty tome caught his eye.

"Aaaah. Just what I was looking for."

A bony hand reached out from the dark robes and picked up the manuscript. THe tome was bound with black leather, with a dark handprint on the cover. It was labeled, "The Dummies' Guide to Becoming an Evil Overlord of the World through Betrayal and Necromantic Power"

The zombie sat in a fluffy pink armchair, the book balance on his lap, his black robes absorbing the light from the nearby lamp and shrouding his face in darkness, obscuring his growing smile.

[Novelest_Ninjagirl]

Rose sighed and steped inside the school, glancing around her. "Dull. I always expected schools for the magically gifted to constantly be attacked by - huh, what kind of enemies owuld a school have? She shrugged, and walked ot the library, slamming the door open, and looking for something to read, narrowly avoiding tripping over hte same stool.

[Black Hawk]

Eagle shuffled into the library and inclined hi head to the others. But then he stopped cold a feeling of both nausea and dizziness over welmed him and he stumbled over to a chaiar that was farthest away from Proffesor Marcus. while Eagle was rubbing his temples his undead familiar walked up
"Something wrong master?"
"Why do you insist on calling me that you know that you have free will"
Yes but I want a purpose and you helped me so now my purpose is to protect you."
"I don't know why I even ask"
Recovering from the effects of Marcus's control of necromancy Eagle walked over to the necromancy section found the books he was looking for and put up a mental sheild to gaurd against Marcus however he produced that nausea field he walked quickly to the corner farthest away from anyone else and sat down to read and add to his spell book

[DeadManWalking]

... when did i have an Aura of Nausea erected?

I don't remember that.

[Phang]

I guess it's because you smell o' dead stuff and pow-a.

Thankfully, Marcus' accident had put Crooked at ease, and she continued into the library - Bent kicking the stool out of the way.

People seemed to be gathering into the library at quite a pace, and things were getting a little hectic. Crooked slipped down the rows of books into a corner, where she made an effort of slowly looking through every book there.

"Do you...really want a book on draconic cuisine?" Bent flicked through one of the faded tomes. "Or...oh, my...perhaps we should be reading something else, Crooked...that's not natural...yuck..."

[Black Hawk]

well DMW since we're both necromancers being the same general area and seeing as most necromancers are not the most trusting of people I assumed it would be natural for me to be warded against not saying you would do it on purpose but that it would be unconcious

[tramp in a storm]

Storm gets up from her stool and makes her way from the bar to the library.
"Where's everyone gone?"

She peeps through the door and as soon as she sees the necromancers an idea dawns on her!

"hhmm..." she walks over to a bookcase that reaches from the floor to the ceiling. she picks out a book called How to bribe a necromancer and sits on the floor exactly where she was standing and starts to read it.

[Phang]

"Hey - it's the headmistress!"

"Mistress?! You mean -"

"No, I'm sorry. Headmistress - the boss of the school." Bent sighed. "Sorry, sorry again."

"It's...ok." Crooked slid the book she was holding back onto the shelf. "Do you think we should ask her?"

[Gallant]

Sean floated about absent mindedly through the mazes of shelves before slamming his grip into a stool, sending him careering into a shelf.

"Ah for **** sake!"

Before the paper and scriptures were settled the stool suddenly became nothing more than a mess of splinters on the floor. The living hammer floated around until he found Marcus's dark aura. There he was sitting on his regular pink fluffy chair.

"Oi! You! Did you know there's rogue pupils wandering about the library. Get off yer arse and take them to a study or something. Imagine one of them got a hold of say 'Ye Olde Booke O' Papyrus Eateth Thee Manne' it took Storm weeks to get the blood stains out of the surrounding volumes. Go on, before I squash your hand again."

[Novelest_Ninjagirl]

Rose noticed Eagle, and how he seemed to get rather weak when he walked close to the guy in the fluffy pink chair. Then she noticed the undead minion and sighed. How many people here were to lazy to go with a minion? She shurgged it off, dropped her bag on the ground, and glanced at a shelf near Eagle, which happened to have what she was looking for. The fanstsy novels.

[tramp in a storm]

Tramp looks up from her book
"Yes it did! I still smell of cleaning products!"

She gets up and walks towards Crooked to see if she wants any help. but trips over the splinters of the stool on her way there and gets covered in them!

"Ow!!! damn stool! Yes Crooked? was there a question?"

[Phang]

Crooked looked up at the headmistress and forced out a cracked smile. Seeing the fearful expression which crossed the woman's face, she stopped.

"I..." Oh, dear. She'd never really talked to people before - Bent did that. But he'd never take her place, it was disrespectful. He'd sooner lay his life on the line. "Oh, well, I...my...my parents."

Now that she'd said it...maybe she could do this after all. "They said...told me...my parents had been lost, taken, d...dead...around here. Do you...would you...know anything?"

[zahark]

may i join?

name marissa

student

appearance: [/img]http://media.photobucket.com/image/anime%20girl%20with%20cross/illamas/anime%20goth/lifeand.jpg

she can be stubborn at times and not listen she emmits a calm but silightly dark arora which makes most people avoid her.

knows much about poision and is skilled with swords daggers and bows. she can sence the emotions about people which often makes her act strangely and she is unstable because of this .she can also use black fire.

familiar: a large black wolf named volug who has many odd designs in a darker shade of black in his fur. he also wears a black leather collar that he wears of his own will. he can use talepathy to communicate with others as well he is loyal to marissa who saved him as a pup

[zahark]

*Marissa enters the school with Volug at her side and sees the halls are empty*

*sighing*
"well Volug I didn't want to come, but here I am and a soul in sight."

She walks through the halls and past numerous class rooms, still not seeing any one, but she feels a sudden air of tenceness and heads toward it. she enters what looks to be a library and wonders why so many people have decided to gather here of all places.

pretending to know what shes doing and to fit in alittle better ,she picks up a book and pretends to read it, but she is realy studying the people in the room. Volug sits at her side as protective as ever.

[Black Hawk]

Overhearing the floating hammer Eagle grins and walks quickly to a section he had never entered before the advanced necromancy section upon seing the large amounts of volumes his eyes lit up and he grabbed several and returned to his seat "After all Sean had implied that they were permitted to use the entire library and that some parts were just unpleasent."

[DeadManWalking]

...

Marcus raises his eyes to the ensuing chaos, wrinkling his mouth in distaste.

He moves to a quieter section of the library.

After some thought, he draws several arcane symbols on the floor.

A stray fly buzzing around the library wanders over one of the symbols.

There is a brief flash of flame, and a sprinkling of ash.

a new Zombie Fly rises from the ashes.

[zahark]

marissa, seeing the zombie fly starts to wonder what kinda school this is.

She wonders between the book shelves untill she sees some one that looks to be the head misstress"excuse me, but when do classes start and where are all the teachers and students? the halls are al empty."

[shy_blu_eyes]

Violet soaked in the scene...

The misty gray Aura of the spirit inhabiting the hammer mingled plesantly with the soft pink glow of pleasure eminating from the girl in the fiction section.

In sharp contrast, two other students gave off the charcoal auras of those who spent too much time thinking about death. The half-elf pulsed with necromantic power, but the beat was weaker and slower than Professor Marcus, and erratic with incomplete control. The girl's aura was calm, in fact unsettlingly so, with self control. She also bore a faint tinge of menace, a sure sign of training in the use of "black fire," balefire magic. No hard guesses on who would be studying with Professor Marcus this semester. Violet wondered how long it would take them to start posturing for "Alpha" status.

Designating them Wannabee1 and Wannabe2 in her head, Violet resolved to avoid them both. She didn't need the aggravation...

Now the unkempt red-head talking to the headmistress, that was something interesting...

Swirls of color...that usually meant charms or illusions,

Rippling patterns...agitation, nervousness, or stress,

Solid flashes of color... but not the same color...

Violet watched with interest as the situation developed...

[tramp in a storm]

Tramp answers to Crooked first as she was the first to ask a question.

"Oh dear...There have been alot of deaths around these parts. Although previously you could not die within these walls - I am unsure if the magic that prevented that still lingers. But if you want to check you should take a look in that big book up there." She points to a large, heavy book which rests on its side, ontop of the rest of the books on the highest shelf.

"That book there has a list of every person who has ever died and it will tell you where they died and when. The only down side is that you have to get to it. The names should be in alphabetical order. Or you may use a 'finding' spell to search for your parents."

She turns to the newcomer. "Welcome to Magic School! Normal lessons run during the day. During the night it's far much more fun to cause chaos than to study. But that can be educational too... But teachers may start lessons whenever they feel like it! whether it's day or night! Just try not to wake the younger students. Some of them have BAD tempers!"

[Black Hawk]

Packing up his things Eagle walked out of the library making sure to stay clear of Professor Marcus. Walking up to the Headmistress he gives a polite nod and says,
" I find it getting a tad crowded in here so I'll be returning to my room."
Solenamun* followed closely beside him.
"I do not understand why you associate with them" said Solenamun walking now in front of Eagle
"Why not I feel that it will be quite....fun to get to know them and don't you have cat things to do or something?"
"I will assume you speak out of ignorance and not out of anger so no I do not and I get the feeling you do not appreciate my presence."
"No no I appreciate you but it is your reasons for following me I still don't know how I helped you that day."
"Ha thats a tale for another day because if you haven't noticed you have reached your dorm."
"Huh oh good night then" said Eagle turning red stroking his ears and cursing himself for not being as alert as he should have. Well, at least father wasn't here. Yawning he set his spell books on his desk and slept.
*Solenamun is the familiar and a cat

[Phang]

Both flinched at the mention of death, Bent quickly motioning a cross gesture at the headmistress.

"A...book of the dead? Heh. Master and mistress had several, though I believe those were for a different purpose." Bent looked up to where Tramp had pointed. He could scale that...wouldn't be to wobbly...


A while later, and the two were huddled in the corner with the book - Bent nursing a sore head.

"Are you sure about this, Crooked?" He groaned. "You know...knowing if they..."

"It's what we asked for, isn't it? We might as well..."
