Magic Academy Discussion

And yes, Mass Effect has influenced me in this case. Be prepared, my friends, for the Reapers!

From the intensive mental conditioning pop culture has given me, anything referred to as reapers are probably bad news, with the exception of some interpretations of the Grim Reaper and the occasional farmer.

The Reapers? you gotta be kidding me. At least there's a Shepard among them. (right?)

I'm sorry I'm not posting. IRL .

Don't worry. RL before RP.

thanks.

Hopefully Fantasia managed to stay safe, being the homeless one here. Though, I doubt she'd end up indoctrinated, with her power level, they'd be attempting Mugging the Monster.

I'd say I'd be saying too much, but I already said she's as strong as the teachers.

Picture a human skeleton like being, except the skeleton is an insect style exoskeleton, the shoulders are larger and have numerous blue lines going through them, a strange looking little human head seems implanted on the front of each large shoulder pad as a sort of channeling area should it want to use more deadly attacks, and proceeding out the back of the shoulder armor are two long tentacles. True to the name's connotations, Qord has designed these things with a particle beam slicer sickle which can extend to attack at unexpected angles, the blade, due to the particles involved, is impossibly sharp. Evade if possible. Each of them can spontaneously make a long blade emerge from the forearm, think Witchblade, and you have it. Each of these creatures is ten feet tall, and the center of the forehead has a crystal which seems to act like a third eye that transmits all images seen by one Reaper to ALL Reapers.

The reason I am telling you this is because there will be a main training arc now before any big Reaper or Qord action happens. Just to prepare you for what comes after a while. There will, though, be one Reaper infiltrator that appears eventually.

Hmmm...hmmmm...

On another note. I have a few questions.

1) first off, rooms. How does the dorm rooms look? (do they have things to make food like a kitchen, shower and bathrooms? Are they the same or different?

2) came up with a layout of the campus?

Apologies for the lack of posting. Real life has caught up with me.

That, and I'm technically not meant to be here >_>

Each one is pretty big, has a bathroom, but the beds are one on top the other, bunk beds.

The Academy is basically a little bit bigger on the inside than on the outside.

There is a grand hall with seven different pathways leading away from it, four leading to various classroom wings, and two leading to the dormitories.

The seventh is the entrance area, a long hallway leading down to a gate.

There is a deadly garden behind the Summoning Wing that students are forbidden from entering. That place is basically a death world, everything will try to eat you somehow. Why is it even there? There might be something on the other side of it...

It's ok...

Oops, I was under the impression they were two different beds. Should me and Nickten edit our posts about them?

Yea, same , or do you mind if it stays regular beds? Some of the rooms have bunk-beds, others two beds?

(and do they have kitchens? )

Crackie- same thing. Real life > internet life. Especially for what? A roleplay?

Yeah, that is okay.

Some have two beds, and others have bunk beds.

So how do the school lessons work? Like, how many are there per day and how long are they, how many subjects can one kid take etc.?

.*shrugs* I suppose whatever you want to show really? *waits for the other nick*

Sorry I haven't posted, I'd like to say RL problems, but I kinda just didn't feel like last week. So time to Archive Binge and see what Zavi was up to!

You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My Tumblr

No biggie?

Anyway, I'm just waiting on Nate to talk a bit more to Amber before they hear the door and Alexander opens the door to meet the totally-unexplained-to-him identical twin sister of the girl he's rooming with (while Amber tells Nate, before she opens the door).

I'm actually waiting for Amber to open it, so...

The lessons work this way:

first there are some lessons from a book, and then there is practical application of the magical lesson, mainly on a dummy, though there are some times when students can practice battle or "duel" one another.

I've got two questions about acceptable magic use in the academy.

First of all, is most magic (not really minor spells that can't normally cause problems) just used casually, or is it limited to classes and specific practice areas?

Also, are there any types of magic that have especially strict rules about them? Well, aside from the few that are pretty much given, like destruction spells.

On a unrelated note, it's late and I need to go to bed. Instead of staying up late and posting something i'm unsure about, I'm gonna log it on here so I can turn this laptop off and finish it in the morning.

As said, I'm unsure about this post. Mostly, this is it. It needs editing and a little finetune but this is it. Is it ok? I kinda feel like I'm not staying true to character, or something? It was just a fun scene I couldn't stop writing it.

I feel unsure about this post, and when i'm unsure about things I either push forward in with a bit of worry (when infact I never needed to, as said thing was alright in the first place), or ask other people to calm my nerves about the choice I made (psychologically, to have other people agree with me to help me feel better about the choice I made, re-assurance)

When nate looked at her for approval, Amber gave her nod.

"ye-yes, come on in" and put an end to this Amber said (and thought)

She grabbed Nyro by the arm and brought her sister into the room, whether he wanted to or not (and in this case she did).

Along doing so, she saw a split second of Nyro's smile, getting a sick and twisted (to her) pleasure from messing with her own twin.

As she dragged her she quickly wispered "Nyro, behave yourself" In Nyro's ears.

This was when Alexander spoke.

She felt a bit embarrassed, and a bit weird. Overall it caught her off guard? I don't know here. I'm just a disembodied narrating voice being asked to explain a 17 year old teenage girl's actions and emotions. That's like impossible.

She pulled Nyro again to the side, glaring at her sister.

"Nyro, what did you say to him?" Amber said, before sighing "I can't leave you alone for a minute can I?"

"I didn't do anything, I swear" Nyro said. "I didn't tell him jack."

At this point, one could hear their conversation.

"Oh yea right." Amber said back.

"No really, I didn't. I didn't even tell him I had a twin. I wanted to give him a shock" She said with a bit of a (very) small chuckle "The look on your faces were totally worth it"

"Ah! Nyro!"

"Oh comeon, I'm only having a little harmless fun." Amber glared again at her amazingly irresponsible twin.

"Oh, and that look you give is really worth all of it. You have such a cute face when you get embarrassed." Said Amber's twin. "All I have to do is bring up that thing you did for that guy you had a crush on back when we were-"

And Nyro got the exact response she wanted.

"N-Nyro!" Amber said, her face flushed, her face looking a bit down in embarrassment.

It's all in the past...and in the police reports and the

"Th-there was no cops or anything like I didn't think the liquid nitrogen vital would spill stop making it up!"

"Yes but I never get embarrassed, and it's so much more fun to do it to you."

"oh, and I'd just like to remind you that I won't be able to do your homework anymore"

And then Nyro's eyes widened, and was absolutely off guard.

"I am one of the teachers now, and helping a student cheat, even if she is your sister. And...after all, I WILL be your teacher for some of those classes.

"What?"

"Oh you herd what I said." Amber said, turning the tables with a grin. " I'm going to be your teacher from now on."

"Or maybe you just always decided it was better to make me do the work for you while you sat around and played videogames all day? I told you that you should have studied more.

"All those times you promised me stuff and treats if I did your homeworks, not only will I not be doing that anymore as I'll be your teacher..." Amber stopped.

In her mind, Amber realized now was the time to strike back. Whip up something good girl...let's see how she likes it when I do it to her...

"I think I'll make sure you do learn it by giving you loads of homework...how does a 10 page essay on the Pythagorean Theorem sound? You think you could do it?"

Nyro, surely could not.

"Not at-all. It's easy as pie." Nyro said, with cracks in the armor appearing.

Amber picked up Nyro's sadistic side for a moment, and grew a grin on her face. "You do know what that is right? the Pythagorean Theorem?

Nyro, surely did not.

"O-Of course I know." Nyro said.

Amber looked again. "Hmmm...maybe you're right about that. You and I do have a cute face..."

These two were sisters after all.

1. Most magic can be used casually, but remember the students are just that - students. You will have to earn your levels in badass.

2. There are strict rules on Destruction Magic, Mind Magic, and certain other types, such as Portal Magic.

Hmmm. Hmmmm.

I'm doing homework atm. I'll post when I'm done.

I hope that was good. Anyway, big post made, sisterly stuff done and I'm hoping I wasn't OOC with them. But it's late. So whatever?

Nyro won't be showing much of this side of her. It's usually Amber who really draws it out, and brings out the best in her sister. As said, it's been just the two of them for a long time, and more or less thanks to Amber Nyro became much more well-adjusted to society then she would have been without

Hmm... Bit of a gather going on at Kaleb and Taurin's room, I see.

Anyone mind if I join in?
