• Nothing like Highschool
    RPG - 50 - English - ©Tamatoa

    Roles      ☠      Talking      ☠      Drama





    High Schools - and teenagers in general - are known for their clichés, stereotypes and drama. Friends are made and lost, enemies lurk around every corner and teachers are the worst. Here at Borealis, it isn't any different. Or is it?

    ☠            ☠

    Eventhough the Hunter Community is really close, it's still a community. And some people tend to not fit in. Orphans, trouble makers and other unwanted children only have one place to go: Borealis. A school - a fucking community - in the middle of icecold nothing. These kids might be special, they might have abilities, they might have a perfect shot, but they're still kids. So prepare, for all the clichés, stereotypes and drama. Because Borealis is not that different at all ...


    Home. Hell. Same difference.

    It's my intention to only play the 'students', but if you want something else, just ask and I'll see what we can do.


    Fill in
    Your role can be really simple. It is allowed to keep it short and you do not have to use a layout. Ofcourse, if you want to; go knock yourself out.
    ❖ Name (any)
    ❖ Age (10 -20) You can play a kid, but do realise that it affects your character's relationships and interaction. Do realise that anyone older than 18 has to have a partner who's at least a year younger. It's possible, but also rare at this school.
    ❖ Nationality (any)
    (❖ Specialties) (not obligated)
    ❖ Looks A picture is enough, but you can always describe more.
    ❖ Personality Traits alone are enough for me, but I recommend a little bit of explanation so it's clear for the others.
    ❖ History It's enough to say why your character is staying at Borealis and for how long. So if you just say orphan, 3 years, that's enough. You can put more if you want to.
    ❖ Relationships (any)




    Start
    Yo. I've got some stuff to say, before I start this thing.

    It's some day in April and the students all get a short break, for about 5 days (including the weekend). It's the last day before that break and to celebrate it, the older students organize a party in an old bunker in the north. Students between the ages of 16 and 20 are allowed. It's a big party, because it's held once a year. It's nothing like a prom, it's more of a huge party with lots of booze and other stuff. Ofcourse, the school itself doesn't apporve it, but they have never been able to stop it and quite frankly, they stopped trying. For a lot of students, this is the first time they are able to go and since it's something they've been looking out to since they were little, it'll be an exciting night. Everyone is going.
    It's lunchtime now and they still have an afternoon of training ahead. The party starts at 9PM.

    If it's necessary, I'll type out the schedule of the day, so let me know if you need that.



    Borealis

    Location & Map
    Location

    ❖ Russian Siberia (East)
    ❖ Average temp: -10°C
    ❖ Isolated, but large city, around 25km south.
    The winter is very long (half september till the end of april) and very cold. Snow only falls in september and october , but stays the entire winter. Summer is short and hot during the day, cool/cold during the night.
    ❖ Because of the isolation, there are a lot of lone vampires and werewolves. If you don't get the logic - which is probably, bc this sounds weird - just ask me, bc I don't wanna explain right now.


    Location & Map
    The school owns a large area of woods, a lake, sportareas and the buildings. There's also a lot underground. It looks old on the outside, but it's actually quite modern. There's a small airport in the north.

    1) This is where all the paperwork occurs.
    2) This is where new students and travelers sign up. It's also where you have to go when you're 'sent to the principal'.
    3) This is where the students sleep and live when they're not doing anything else. Every student has a room and a small bathroom on their own. There are four floors. The first and second floor are for the children between the ages of 6 and 12. The third and fourth floor are for the students between the ages of 13 and 20. The girls sleep on the 1st and 3rd floor, while the boys sleep on the 2nd and 4th floor. Showers are mutual and there's 10 of them on every floor. In the livingspace you have a few large rooms with TV's, pooltables, whatever you can think of.
    4) This is where the teachers and other staffmembers live and sleep. It's similar to that of the students, except there are only two floors. The women sleep on the second floor, while the men sleep on the first. There's only one, large living room.
    5) This is where everybody eats. There's room for about 400 people, so it's never full and everybody can sit where they want. There's always bread and breakfast available. If you want to eat something warm, you'll have to be there between 11 AM and 9 PM (21).
    6) These are the bedrooms of the guests. There aren't many of them, but it suffices. They have seperate rooms with their own bathrooms. There's a small, mutual livingroom.

    7) This is where the smaller children have their 'normal' classes. It's comparable to elementary school.
    8) This is where the teenagers have their 'normal' classes. It's something in between middle and highschool.
    9) This building has two rooms: A music room (with all the instruments you can think off) and a large aula, suitable for around 600 people.
    10) This is the library. Students can study and read here. Besides the normal world books, there are also a lot of books about the Hunter world. Most of them are copies of the originals.
    11) This is where the students get their theoretical classes. Half of the building resembles more of a museum, though.
    12) This is where the sick and injured are treated. They are prepared for a lot, but when someone is hurt really bad, there's always a small airplane or helicopter available.
    13) This is where students can shop. From clothes and toothpaste to weapons, alcohol and sigarettes, you can find almost anything here. And if you can't, you're allowed to order it here as well.

    1) This is where the school keeps all the original books and all the records of every person who has walked through the gates.
    2) This is the research labaratory of the school. It's full of weird stuff and it's very modern, but it lacks WiFi.
    3) This is the weapon development labaratory of the school. It's full of weird stuff and it's very modern, but it lacks WiFi.
    4) This is a large shooting range. It's always kept in top condition.
    5) It resembles a gym, but it has a simulationprogram and all kinds of weaponry.
    6) This resembles a dojo. It's where the close combat classes take place. There are matts and mirrors.
    7) This is the place where you can train with all the non-shooting weapons.
    8) This is just a regular gym. You can play all kinds of sports here.

    Students
    ❖ This isn't a school for every regular hunter. In fact, only three kinds of children end up here:
    - The ones who don't have a Hunter family that is big enough to give them the proper training. They are usually sent by their parents or other family members.
    - Orphans. They are the ones who are discovered and usually don't know anything about Hunters until they arrive at the school.
    - The troublemakers and unwanted. These children are usually so awful their family sent them away to gain some discipline. Most children belong in this group.

    ❖ The school houses children between the age of 6 and 20. That means every child has had the test with the photograph and everyone stays - unless something really serious happened - until their graduation.
    ❖ These children do not excist for the normal world. They don't have valid papers, or those won't be used.
    ❖ At the moment, there are 186 students housed. There are 53 teachers and 16 other staffmembers.


    Vacation
    Although this is a hard environment and there isn't much space for mental issues and care, they are not entirely unreasonable. The children can leave the school.
    ❖ They spend the coldest period of the year (half december - half februari) in a different country. Usually somewhere in Europe or North-America. The school will be divided in groups of maximum 50 and be stationed at a Quarter. This is not a break and the lessons (usually exams) will continue.
    ❖ The schoolyear ends on the 16th of June. It starts again on the 23rd of July.
    ❖ They get to go on a vacation in juli. It's three weeks long and they can choose their own destination (one that's on the list (15)). After these three weeks, school starts again.
    ❖ They often get a few days of during the year.
    ❖ Last winter, they went to Dubhaile, Scotland.
    ❖ Although it's not allowed, there are often parties for the students aged 15 or older. They take place in some of the old, not used buildings further north on the terrain.


    Training
    ❖ 6 years old: The children are shown a picture of a vampire. If they cannot see them, they are hunters. This is the age they are allowed at the school.
    Start of theoretic lessons.
    ❖ 8 - 10 years old: The children get their partner - with a maximum age difference of two years, although they try to keep the difference as small as possible - and a small brand of a moon on their right wrist. They start as soon as the youngest of the two turns 8.
    Start of practical lessons.

    ❖ 11 - 13 years old: They get to go on their first hunt, but are not allowed to kill anything - unless it cannot be avoided. They are guided by at least one more experienced hunter couple, who do most of the job.
    Choice of specialisations.*
    Theoretic lessons stop.
    ❖ 14 - 16 years old: They get to go on their first, unguided hunt. This is - after graduation - the highlight of their study. This is the moment their first kill happens. After this day, they go on a hunt every two weeks. They get a larger, but simple tattoo. Whenever they reach a certain amount of kills, the tattoo gets more detailed. (1ste kill, 10de kill, 25ste kill, 50ste kill, 80ste kill 100ste kill, 145ste kill, 200ste kill. After this one, a new tatto will be started.)
    ❖ 18 - 20 years old: They graduate. There's a ceremony each year, but I'm too lazy to think off that. They get another brand of a sun on their left wrist. Afterwards, they get a week to pack their stuff and leave. They are not allowed to come back for at least 2 years. However, they are allowed to keep their contacts and see their friends, just not at school.
    ❖ Ofcourse, not every student arrives at the school at the age of 6. The ones who are older get an adapted cousre. It's usually more intense and a lot more difficult as they get the same amount of time. Students who arrive really late, usually never become true Hunters and will become Teachers or researchers.


    Lessons
    Normal

    They get a normal education, although it's a bit easier than usual. It's a lot of selfstudy and it's only the basic classes. The older you get, the more you have to do on your own.
    ❖ Math
    ❖ English
    ❖ Russian
    ❖ Science (Chemistry, Physics & Biology)
    ❖ (Human) History
    ❖ Geography


    *Specialisations

    Every student gets basic training lessons. These are the things the students want to train extra. Another basic lesson is survivaling.
    Theoretics
    ❖ History & Research of monsters (H&RM): You'll learn everything there is to know about monsters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research.
    ❖ Firearms; History (FH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Firearms; Practice.
    ❖ Handarms; History (HH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Handarms; Practice.
    ❖ History & Research of Hunters (H&RH): You'll learn everything there is to know about Hunters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research.
    Practice
    ❖ Kill & Conquer; Vampires (KCV): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing vampires.
    ❖ Kill & Conquer; Werewolves (KCW): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing werewolves.
    ❖ Firearms; Practice (FP): You'll learn about guns and everything that shoots. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in.
    ❖ Handarms; Practice (HP): You'll learn about knives, swords and every weapon that doesn't require munition. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in.
    ❖ Close Combat (CC): Here you'll learn how to fight when you don't have a weapon.
    Both
    ❖ Weapon Development (WD): Here you'll learn how to change, improve or invent weapons of all kinds and other aids for hunting. Students who take this course also have to follow the History of both kinds of weapons.
    ❖ Medicine: This is where you'll learn advanced first aid and everything else you need to know about healing and stuff. The students can choose how many years they'll take this course and when to start, as it's based at level and not at age.
    ❖ Foreign Cooperation (FC): This is already very specific. The students who take this course will be Travelers, which are some kind of ambassadors/negotiators. This course includes at least 2 more languages (choosing from Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish & French), communication and culture & customs. They also take two more short trips to other countries, in octobre and march.


    Exams

    ❖ They have regular tests
    ❖ There are midterm exams in january and final exams in the last and first two weeks of june.


    Money
    ❖ To keep it easy, we'll just use the euro. I don't have a clue what the normal prices are in Russia (1 euro = almost 60 ruble, but idk how much a bottle of water costs, ya know.)
    ❖ Every student gets some pocket money. When they're younger than 12, they get 20 the month. When they're older, they get 40.
    ❖ Kids who still have a family, often get more money sent to them.
    ❖ The students can earn some money when they do chores.


    Sports
    ❖ There are only teams when the interest is big enough. They play a lot of sports during training, but outside of that it depends. I'll go further on with this if people are interested.

                                                                                                                                       

    Relationshit.





    Hunters

    ❖ At least one of the parents has to be a Hunter as well. That's the only requirement.
    ❖ Hunters cannot turn into a monster.
    ❖ Hunters can recognize monsters, they're more fit physically and they are more resistant to pain and illness.
    ❖ At the proper age, they have to take a test. The results of this test determine the partner. Hunters almost never hunt without their partner and they learn to train together. They can, however, take different courses. Every combination (male x male, male x female, female x female, ...) is possible and there are no restrictions on the relationship between them.
    ❖ There are a few rules every hunter has to keep:
          - Humans have to be kept out at all costs. This means physically, but also by knowledge.
          - Werewolves may not be harmed when they are in human form, unless it's self-defence.
          - One bullet is better than two.
          - Never make a vampire go into a Tantrum on purpose
          - Never hurt a non-feeding member of the Colonies.


    Monsters

    If you've got the time and motivation; you can read everything about vampires and werewolves here. If you don't; just keep this shit in mind:
    Vampires
    ❖ Hunters recognize them because they do not have a reflection or show on images and film. This is uniquely for Hunters.
    ❖ They can die when you cut of their head, damage their heart enough or put them on fire.
    ❖ Their biggest weakness is sunlight for young vampires, and elektricity for them all. And fire, but that's kind of everybody's weakness.
    Werewolves
    ❖ Hunters recognize them because their irises are completely black (not their entire eyes, just the colourpart). Only Hunters can see this.
    ❖ They can die whenever you hurt them enough.
    ❖ Only changed werewolves are a target. It's forbidden to kill a werewolf in humanform, unless it's self-defense.
    ❖ Their biggest weakness is silver.


    Rules

    Huisregels
    ❖ Only Tamatoa is allowed to open new topics, unles I ask differently
    Whenever there is an issue, send me and/or the person involved a pb or gb. Don't put it in the topic. This is not to silence anything, but I've seen (and have been on both sides, I'll admit that) it happen when someone points something out, a lot of people react to it. There is nothing wrong with that, but it can feel like an attack and I want to avoid that. Long story short; I'm sick of the drama, whether watching it, or being part of it. This does not apply to questions. (Don't spam me)
    ❖ Maximum three characters, with at least two different sexes
    ❖ OOC clearly indicated or do it in the Talktopic
    ❖ Mentioned in your post: Who, where and with whom. A special lay-out is not obligated.
    ❖ Your post only has to be at least 50 words. That's almost nothing, so I hope there will be more posts, as they are less time consuming.
    ❖ Posts and roles have to be in English. Everything else doesn't really matter. You can choose
    ❖ If you need more information about RPG'ing, go check this out

    MARIA MARVELLE BENSON


    just out of training | at the cafeteria | with Rose and Reed


    Maria had worked her ass of in class, but she had enjoyed every minute of it. She even stayed a bit longer, only to finish her close combat fight properly. Her mate was finally someone who didn’t hold back because she was little and was someone who was at least as fast as her: one big challenge.
          She couldn’t hold back her smile while she made her way to the cafeteria. Her eyes scanned her fellow students and with her towel still around her neck, she greeted the woman behind the counter. She got herself a bottle of water and a pasta salad. At the and of the queue she noticed Reed and Rose. She tried not to smile at the young woman, as she was used to be friendly to her.
          "Hi, Reed," she said happily. She glanced up at the tall boy, trusted him with an even greater smile and then turned her head for a brief moment to Rose.
          "Hi there."

    ELIN NYSTRÖM

    17 - cafeteria - Leif

    Of course, Mr. Fancy Words was too impatient to wait on her to go to her locker. Elin rolled her eyes, but took the stuff from him anyways. “I look like I’m wearing a fatsuit,” she complained after she put on Leif’s jumper. “Maybe if I wrap the scarfs around my head, no one will recognise me.” She would do that anyways, cause the scarf was rather fluffy for a guy’s scarf. “And I don’t know? Don’t really care either. I’m his girlfriend, not his petslave. If I want to go the party with you, Mr. Fancy Words, then I shall I go the party with you.” She grinned at Leif and hooked her arm through his.
          They weren’t the only crazies to go outside. Abel and Lyra were there too. That said, Lyra was a little bit crazy. Abel probably too, being around Leif and his big words all the time. Elín smiled at her best friend and at Abel. “I told Leif I’d go to the party with him if he stops using his big, fancy words. You guys – well guy and girl – are welcome to keep him to that as well.’ She flashed Leif a quasi-innocent smile. “And do you really don’t have a black shirt in your closet? That’s kinda.. strange.” Who didn’t have black clothing? It looked good on basically everyone.


    To the stars who listen — and the dreams that are answered

    ABEL NATHANIEL RUTHERFORD
    17 ❖ Australian ❖ Outside ❖ Lyra


    "Well, where did that come from?" Abel laughed when Lyra asked him that. He actually had no idea where that came from, it was more of an impuls. 'No idea, to be honest,' He answered. 'Sometimes I just have to express my love towards you, because I can't cope with all these annoying people at this school. You're kind of the only one who's quite normal, at least in my eyes.'
          When Abel started talking about Leif and Elin, he noticed that Lyra liked that subject way more. He knew about the history between Leif and Lyra and for some reason he was perfectly fine with that. They were allowed to hook up with whoever they wanted to, although Abel sometimes doubted Leif's taste in women.
          "Elin has quite a busy life though, besides her relationship with Val, she also has Reed walking after her like a lovesick puppy. Adding Leif to that mix would be.. a bit much, right?"
          "A bit much, you say?' Abel sounded bitter and he had no problem with that whatsoever, he didn't care if Lyra knew Elin was able to annoy the hell out of him. 'I don't see what all the fuss is about with her." Abel looked at Elin and Leif and exactly at that moment the duo approached them. 'You've got to be kidding me," Abel hoped no one heard that.
          "Can I loan that black shirt of yours tonight? I frankly don't own any party-appropriate clothing." Leif asked Abel. Abel shrugged and did his best to come off as cool. 'Yeah, whatever," He answered.
          “And do you really don’t have a black shirt in your closet? That’s kinda.. strange.” Abel looked at Elin. His face was emotionless. "Well in case you didn't notice, Leif is strange."

    Sorry, not sorry for bitchy Abel

    RÉKA ALEXANDRA VALESCU
    18 | Romanian/Italian | Hallway | Vale



    Vale was able to get on every freaking nerve Réka had. She tried to not let him bother her that much but for some reason he managed to trigger her like no other. Even hearing his breath was sometimes enough for her to get angry.
          "Eating my girlfriend's snatch while she was on her period. What the fuck does it look like?" Réka pictured him doing that and immediately wished she didn't do that. She rolled her eyes and looked at Vale with a raised eyebrow. When he opened his jacket, she saw he was covered in blood. Yes, that was normal after hunting but it felt weird seeing him like that. Something was different about him after a hunt and she couldn't really tell what it was, so she decided to ignore that thought.
          'Of course, I missed you.' She answered, but Vale would know she was lying. Not only because her tone was very sarcastic, also because she would never miss him. She'd rather lose him in her life. She didn't dislike him because her parents took him in, she was always jealous of people with siblings. It was more because he was just evil. Her parents didn't seem to see that, but she sure as hell knew he was Satan's son. But she was smart enough to not upset him, because she didn't know what he was capable of. 'So, are you going to that party tonight? Perhaps to eat the snatch of your girlfriend?' She asked. She forced a smile on her face to let him know she was joking.

    "Apparently, standing in this queue already comes with danger," he said with a teasing smile. Rose looked at the direction his finger was pointing and saw she was still holding her knife, although not in an intimidating way. She quickly put it back where it came from.
          "Sorry about that," she mumbled, but Reed was already going on.
          "Besides, I would never take the risk of killing my taste buds. How will I ever enjoy another spicy chicken wing?" She smiled and answered: "Maybe that's the point. Maybe your taste buds are already dead, because of the spiciness of those poor chickens." After that he asked her about the party.
          "Obviously, Rose, how can you even doubt that?" They got their plates and Rose decided to listen to Reed's demand, as she took some of the spaghetti - carbonara ofcourse. She had a lot going on in her mind, but suicide was never part of it.
          "No party without a Jones," he grinned. He even winked and evenmore, she didn't mind it. Not even a bit.
          "Oh, right, Raven is your sister, isn't she? You guys look a lot different, I have to say." Rose was about to ask him if he was going with someone - eventhough it wasn't a promlike party, she still wanted to know if she could stick around - when Maria joined them.
          "Hi there." She greeted Rose with less excitement as to Reed, but she did acknowledge her existence, which was something. Rose wasn't really mad at her, but she was definitely disappointed. She felt abandoned by her as a friend and the tension she felt constantly, came back as soon as the other girl joined them.
          "Hi," Rose almost whispered.





                      Valentino Valescu                  
    19 ➵ Returning from a hunt ➵ Hallway ➵ Réka



    He had slung the coat over his shoulder, but the damn thing slipped off. With a soft growl he catched it before it hit the ground again, and just held it in his hand. Valentino scratched his face again.
          "Of course, I missed you," Réka answered. It almost made him burst into laughter. The only time his sister missed him, was when she hadn't met him and wanted a sibling. Val guessed there was some truth to the "Know what you wish for" bullshit.
          "So, are you going to that party tonight? Perhaps to eat the snatch of your girlfriend?" she asked. It made him laugh, although it wasn't a happy or nice laugh. More of a 'watch your words' laugh, although he barely noticed that himself. He would never hurt Réka, or at least really bad, not because he loved her, but because it was part of their unspoken pact. He would leave her be and she wouldn't be a snitch. It had always been like that and he wasn't going to ruin that. The girl knew way too much.
          "Ha. Hilarious. I don't need a party to get to that point, but yes, I am going. And yes, I can get you a free booze card, but on one condition," Val grinned, in a way he almost never did at school. It was the same kind of smile he had a couple of hours before, when he finally got his victim alone. He doubted she'd need the free drinks, but still, this was fun.
          "You'll have to proclaim your love for me where everybody can hear it." There was no way she'd do that, but Val couldn't help it. He just really liked being a bad guy and there wasn't much opportunity to do it.

    Mijn brein breint zoals het breint.

    REED KEENAN JONES

    Canadian ▼ 18 ▼ Cafeteria ▼ Rose

    ‘Maybe that’s the point. Maybe your taste buds are already dead, becauseof the spiciness of those poor chickens.’
          Reed took a look at the small and innocent chicken wings on his plate which was now placed on the counter. Although some would say there was no way they could be lethal, not everything was visible for one’s sight. It was easy for him to come up with a couple of scenarios in which he kills someone with the bones hiding under the spicy flesh. Still, he figured it would take away the fun to instantly agree with her.
          ’Not by any chance’ he simply answered before switching to the next subject.
          Before she asked for a confirmation on whether Raven was his sister or not, he noticed she did get a plate herself. It was a small victory from his side, but he decided to let it go.
          ‘Oh, right, Raven is your sister, isn’t she? You guys look a lot different I have to say.’ Rose’s comment reminded him of home, as his dad told him otherwise. He used to mention that they were so much alike in many different ways. However, the only truth buried beneath his fathers blinded reality was the fact that they had a lot of similarities in their personalities. Their clothing was very different as for their looks in general. Although they both started off as blonde haired, Ravens hair changed over the past few years into dark brown while Reeds has only gotten a tiny bit darker. No, they did not look alike, but the fact that they were both hunters made their father believe they were.
          ’At least we share our stubbornness,’ Reed shrugged along with a sigh, as he thought about their argues. Raven and Reed had quite a nice brother and sister relationship, even though they did not see each other that often. Nevertheless, they could not live with each other nor without, for some reason. She used to blame their similar personalities, but he has not been able to admit his flaws yet. He was most likely aware of them, but his stubbornness would keep him from agreeing.
          ’Hi, Reed,’ He noticed the voice, but was not able to connect it with a face until she walked into his sight. Reed lifted his head once as a greeting, but kept silent. It was hard to get him enthusiastic or cause an enormous smile on his face. In this case, not even Maria’s big smile was able to and all he showed was a weak smile. At least it was something.
          He felt the tension raising, but this time, it was not because of him. His glance moved from one to the other after which he rolled his eyes. Reed sure was not in the mood for such an atmosphere, even though they were both girls he liked talking to. But let’s be honest, who would he actually mind sharing a conversation with’?
          ’I don’t know about you, but I am not going to expose my spicy chicken wings with the risk of getting cold. So, if you don’t mind, I am going to enjoy my food over there.’ Reed paused for a second looking at the both of them. ‘And even if you would, I am still going there.’
          He left without saying another word and decided to sit down at a table with a couple of faces he knew. Reed was not sure if Rose, Maria or the both of them were planning on joining him. But it would not bother him if they did, as long as the tension disappeared. Otherwise he would not be the best company; something he would certainly not keep to himself.



    'I don't want to leave her just because she makes me a better person.'

    LYRA MOREAU

    With a smile she leaned against Abel, inwardly agreeing with his words. Whether he knew it or not, Abel was one of the only persons around that she felt comfortable with. As expected she didn't have many true friends. But she was sometimes surprised by the amount of people that acted friendly around her. Perhaps the others were even more clueless than she originally had thought.
          She was a bit surprised when Abel said that he didn't understand the fuss about Elin. But it did make sense when she thought back to his earlier expressions when they had talked about them.
          The rest of their conversation was cut short by the arrival of Elin and Leif.
          "Well, hello Leif, Elin." Lyra smiled at the two of them, not caring if they had heard anything that she had said. She nodded when Leif said that he expected that she was going to the party. Of course she was, there was no way that she was going to miss it.
          She wasn't really interested in whatever Elin and Leif were bickering about. The use of 'big words' was something that characterised Leif and she couldn't remember the time that that had been different. Therefor she stayed quiet, only to smile at Abel's comment on how Leif was weird. She didn't miss his expression and had a hard time containing her excitement. She simply loved drama.
          "So.. I take that you're both going to the party too? Together?"
          The implication was clear in her voice and she was interested to see how they were going to react.

    MASON JONATHAN SAUNDERS
    19 • American • Cafetaria • Dana




    “Well, nothing weird has happened yet, so I guess it’s pretty okay. I haven’t murdered anyone by accident today at least.” Mason gave her an I'm-impressed-look, as if it was quite an accomplishment for her to not kill anyone during class. He couldn't keep a straight face though so immediately after that he laughed. 'What about you?' She asked him. Before he could answer, Timur joined them. He seemed to be in a hurry because he didn't stay to talk to them. Mason didn't mind. Not that he didn't want to talk to his best friend, but he was used to Timur being gone all the time and he accepted that. Timur probably had a good reason.
          'Well it looks like you don't have to share,' Mason grinned at Dana when Timur left them. 'And speaking of my morning, it wasn't that special. Just some boring classes. So are you going to that party tonight? Basically everyone is talking about it, so it must be good, right? Hopefully there will be some booze, because I can use it. Although I hope there will be no drama, because I'm not up for that.'

    Timur didn’t stay very long. “Well it looks like you don’t have to share,” Mason told her. Dana laughed. She was terrible in sharing, so maybe that was better – although, in this case it wouldn’t matter, as they weren’t a couple and Mason definitely wasn’t food. She just wanted to keep her own food and didn’t like it if people stole her food.
    “And speaking of my morning, it wasn’t that special. Just some boring classes. So are you going to that party tonight? Basically everyone is talking about it, so it must be good, right? Hopefully there will be some booze, because I can use it. Although I hope there will be no drama, because I'm not up for that,” Mason continued.
    “Of course I’m going!” Dana answered a bit too enthousiastically. “It was a good reason to buy new heels.” She liked shoes, especially heels. It wasn’t like she wore anything else, as she was just little. A party was a great excuse to buy a new pair.
    “But you’re right. Booze sounds great. Let’s order some ‘booze without extra drama’.” She was sure the party would be great, but no drama sounded like a good plan. Why couldn’t people just enjoy a party?

    It's time to parteeeeey!!!!

    The biggest party of the year has been going on for about an hour. It's ten o'clock, so the night didn't even begin for some people.
    It's held in what used to be a hangar for small planes, in the north of the domain, which is clearly not drawn on the map as I'm making this up right now. Good me, yay me. Anyways, in the hangar, you have a small vestiaire, a large dancing room with accesoires you can make up (so if you want to include a strippole - used or not used- in your post, totally go for it), a bar and a few small rooms with sofas for the people who get smoochy, too drunk or just need a quiet moment.
    Smoking is not allowed due to the firehazard. Drinking is not allowed for people under - I think it was - 17, but no one gives a fuck. The music is the modern shit you hear everywhere.
    You can go outside, because there are plenty of firethingies. It's still cold, but people won't freeze there nose off.
    Last but not least, they made a pad through the snow towards the hangar (is this even the right word?) and there are a few firebaskets that lead the way as well.

    Ofcourse, ( I gotta stop saying last) there have to be people who organise this awesome shit. This is mostly done by the oldest people, but that's not a must. My guy Val is one of them, but if you want your char to be one as well, then just put that in your posts. They set the thing up, take care of the bar - booooze - and dj, and look after the fires.

    Remember: teachers know but do not approve.

    Now, I have to catch my fat gerbil bc he ran away met het dophe van mijn cola godverdomme.

    Have fun ^^

    RÉKA ALEXANDRA VALESCU
    18 | Romanian/Italian | Party | Alone |




    Réka finished her look by putting on bright red lipstick, which was her trademark look at a party. She basically always wore red lipstick at a party, only the shade was different every time. She put on a warm coat and left to go to the party. She was excited for it, but she wasn't planning on drinking a lot because she didn't trust half of the people at her school - including her weird sibling, Vale.
          The party started a little while ago, but Réka had a thing for arriving fashionably late. She walked inside the place and looked around, hoping she would see someone she could talk to. She was trying to avoid Vale, because she didn't want to see his face and be annoyed again. For some reason she always got annoyed by seeing his face and she was trying to stay positive that night.


    WOW shitty post af




    Big girls cry when their hearts are breaking

                      Valentino Valescu                  
    19 ➵ Drinking & keeping an eye out ➵ Bar ➵ Elin

    PSYCHOPATH
    Serial charmer. Cunning manipulator. Pathological liar


    On the one night his mask had to be absolutely perfect, he felt like killing someone. Even a certain someone.
          It wasn't because he had to worry about the organisation, not at all. In fact, since he was one of the oldest students, he didn't had any of the shitjobs of the night. It was almost a tradition to give those to the younger ones who wanted to be part of this thing. They got the jobs like keeping an eye on the fires and the drunk that wander outside, so they won't freeze to death. In other words; they had to stay sober. Vale only had barduty, from nine to ten and from three to four. The first and the last hour. He never drank too much, because he just knew he'd be a danger to others and thus to himself, but still... It wasn't like he stayed sober either.
          So it was not that, that pissed him off. The thing - the person - that did, sat on the other side of the bar. She hadn't seen him yet, as she only just arrived at the bar,
    but when Leif went earlier for not one, but two drinks, he knew enough. He was mad at Elin, not because she hurt his feelings - he didn't have any - but because she did something he didn't want her to do. He was smart enough to know he couldn't be in total control, but he still hated it. He hated Leif more, though. Nobody was allowed to touch his stuff.
          Ironically, something else catched his eye for a second. There was a cellphone on the corner of the bar, laying there, out in the open. Nobody was paying attention to it. He couldn't help himself and the next moment, it was gone. Val smiled at people, when he went around the corner, and greeted some guys he knew well. His face expressed - as usual - almost pure kindness, but he noticed his anger did come through in his movements. They were harsh, but only a little.
          "Hey, babe," he muttered in Elin's ear, when he reached her from behind. He put his arms around her - a hug for her, a claim for him. Even his voice sounded sweet and he managed to smile, although it was hard to put it in his eyes. It always was.
          "Where's your boyfriend?" he said, as sweet as ever.

    ELIN NYSTRÖM

    17 - party (bar) - Val

    Elín had gone to the party with Leif and he got some drinks for them, but after a while he dissapeared. She had no clue where to and she was too lazy to go looking for him. Plus, she didn't want to lose her perfect spot at the bar. When she suddenly felt arms around her, she was ready to punch the person in the face, out of reflexes, but it turned out to be Val and he easy stopped her hand. "Hey, babe." His breath ticlkled her ear, and made her giggle for a second. She leaned into him and turned her head, so she could kiss his neck. "Where's your boyfriend?" Elín rolled her eyes.
          "I'm kissing him right now, as far as I know." Elín knew he probably meant Leif, as she hung out with him a lot and she got the feeling Vale didn't like it, but whatever. That wasn't about to stop her, so she ignored it. She pressed a kiss on his jaw, and took a sip from her mojito. "As my boyfriend, you should give me my own personal butler." She grinned at him. "Or you could be my butler," she continued, softer this time, and she slapped his butt. "Where have you been, by the way? Almost thought you weren't coming back."

    my english also sucks


    To the stars who listen — and the dreams that are answered

    REED KEENAN JONES

    Canadian — 18 — at the party in the crowd — Elin & Vale > Réka

    Reed moved his body slowly on the rhythm of the music, while sticking a lemon on the edge of a glass filled with mojito. He had been standing behind the cocktail bar for more than 30 minutes, but he did not mind at all. How could he mind a task like this? Mixing cocktails, enjoying some drinks himself and serving cute girls he did not even know they existed. It was a task he had given himself, as one of the oldest members in the organisation team. He enjoyed it, especially to get his mind focussing on other stuff than weapons or other school aspects.
          He served the mojito with a charming smile after which he looked up at her and gave her a wink. It is not his act that pleased him, but the reaction of the girl standing in front of him. Her cheeks turned red within seconds. Reed kept his fingers around the glass on purpose, waiting for her touch, as it would only make the scene more amusing.
          Reed ended his playtime as he got sight of Elin and Vale, two individuals he was very font of. He did not give a verdict about these two together as a couple, but he certainly knew he liked them better when separated.
          As he was… well, Reed; he decided to slightly annoy Vale as an idea popped up in his mind. And so, he abandoned his fellow barkeeper for a few minutes to walk up to them. His hands took the collar of his black suit and pulled it straight before joining the two lovebirds.
          ’Hey, babe’
          Reed pressed a soft kiss on Elin’s cheek after pronouncing the words carefully in an attempt to sound like Val. A grin could be found on his face, as he was aware of the fact that he was probably interfering their moment together. However, as impulsive as he was, he did not really care.
          His eyes went from Elin to Vale and he did not expect to receive a nice greeting from Vale. Despite that, he still pretended like his actions were completely innocent. He therefore placed one of his hands on Vale’s shoulder.
          Shortly afterwards, he gave his shoulder a soft push and took a couple of steps backwards while looking at the both of them. ‘I still love you,’ were the words he spoke to Vale with a pleasing and playful smile. ‘That is why I will leave you two lovebirds alone,’ Reed pointed his finger in their direction, but not with a specific reason.
          ’Oh, and poppy,’ he caught Elin her gaze, ‘don’t forget to get a cocktail at my bar. I am sure you would prefer them above that one.’
          Reed turned around as his duty called again. The smile on his face while recognizing Réka, honoured him. He threw his arm around her shoulder and looked at her from the side.
          ’Tell me, what can I get for this wonderful lady?’
          He took her hand after which he slightly distant himself from her to let her spin around. As she did, he could take her in completely. He had to admit to be slightly impressed by her appearance. Oh, and the red lipstick – if it wasn’t Réka he was looking at, he would definitely had given it a shot tonight.
          ’I mean, Réka,’ he paused for a split second, ‘you do look gorgeous.’

    'I don't want to leave her just because she makes me a better person.'

    RÉKA ALEXANDRA VALESCU
    18 | Romanian/Italian | Party | Reed




    For some reason Réka shivered when she saw Vale. She wasn't afraid of him, at least she thought she wasn't. He wouldn't hurt her or her family, she knew that for sure, but he certainly didn't bring the sparkle into the room whenever he entered. His presence was never the thing Réka was looking forward to, although she would never really say that to him. She didn't want to trigger him, because god knows what would happen if she did. The biggest mindfuck in that situation was Elin. She seemed somewhat happy with Vale and Réka simply couldn't understand how you could be happy with someone like that. She glanced at Elin at the party and rolled her eyes - not because she disliked the girl, just because she disliked the whole situation.
          Réka jumped a little when she felt someone's arm around her her shoulder. She was ready to attack, because she hated it when someone touched her without permission, but the cheeky sound of Reed's voice calmed her down. ’Tell me, what can I get for this wonderful lady?'
          She appreciated the boy, but she tried to not show that too much - she didn't want to look desperate or anything. She also didn't like him that way, she didn't like anyone that way. She had better things to do. Before she could answer, he spinned her around by her hand. 'I mean, Réka,' He said. 'You do look gorgeous.'
          'Well, aren't you charming?' She said with a little sound of sarcasm in her voice. She looked at him, while she played with a strand of her hair. At school she always wears her hair in either a ponytail or a bun, but at a party like this she liked to wear her hair down. Her hair was a little wavy. 'And since you asked me what you could get me,' She started, while she formed a cheeky, little smile on her face. 'You can get me a dance later.'
