"I'm gonna be bored!!!!" I complained like a child. "I have a short tension spand. I don't like just sitting there, look, you need to give me some action. So if you have that. I'll come inside."

Well sweet, they have a crafting class, is the first thing I think as I finish the invitation that had turned up in my mailbox. And I could use some fighting lessons, for sure. Quickly, I stuff my bag with the necessary supplies: Clothes, toothbrush, notebooks, a writing utensil (like a pen or a pencil / Sitting on a fence, I'll. . . sorry, I've always been amused by this rhyme. . .), a tote bag and other school-y accessories, as well as essentials like a journal and my trusty sketchbook.

~~ A few days later ~~

Of course, in my excitement I had forgotten that I didn't have to leave until today and I had to unpack half my bag so I could brush my teeth etc. I hate being excited sometimes. . .

I adjust the bag on my shoulders with a grunt and approach the front of the academy. I stop a few feet away and look up at the deep-red, steel door towering at twice my height. If there's one thing I'm not looking forward to about the Resistance Academy, it's the people. The other classmates. They'll want to make friends and invite me places. . . I just want to learn the fine points of crafting, combat and history, and get it over with.

I take a breath, knock on the door and brace myself for what lies on the other end.

I hear a knock at the front gates. I turn to Toren. "Stay. Right. Here." I hear her whining as I walk toward the gates. A girl stands outside. I smile and open the gates. "Hi! I say. "I'm Luna! You are?"
"Peregrine Appleclock," she says tersely. Not at all put off by her abrasive manner, I smile and hand her the package containing the school uniform. "This is for you! You can dye it if you want. The Headmaster wants to see you tomorrow. It's getting kinda late, so he's going to bed. Can you hold your own in an argument and keep someone in line?" I ask.
"Uh...yeah?" She replies.
"OK! You're gonna share a room with @Toren_Jumpspark."
I shouldn't've been so cruel, rooming her with Toren, I thought. I peeked my head into the outdoor recreation area and called to Toren. "HEY! Your roomie's here!"

Aethesian Academy...
I gazed at the note I found in my mailbox. It is still hard for me to believe that i was invited to such a place. Did I make the right decision in accepting it?
I guess I will find out.
Hey, how bad could the place be? I just hoped that the other students aren’t total nerds. There’s nothing worse than having to stay at a place full of weirdos.
I walk up to the giant gate that led to the academy and pressed the buzzer.
“This is Snoelle Fitzshine. I would like to talk to the Headmaster. And make it quick, would you.”

A young lady with shoulder-length blond hair answers my knock. "Hi, I'm Luna!" she greets with a cheerful smile (TOO cheerful, I think warily), "You are?"

"Peregrine Appleclock," I reply with my head high.

"This is for you," she says, pulling a cloth parcel from her large tote bag, "It's your school uniform! You can dye it if you want. The Headmaster wants to see you tomorrow. It's getting kind of late, so he's going to bed. . ."

She talks too much, I think as I follow her into the building.

"Can you hold your own in an argument and keep someone in line?" she asks, turning to me.

. . . WHAT did she just say? "Uhh. . . yeh. . ."

"OK! You're going to share a room with Toren Jumpspark."

My eyes widen and my grip tightens on the parcel in my hands. "Share. . . a room?"

"Yep!" She walks around a corner and calls out, "HEY! Your roomie's here!!"

I sigh through clenched teeth. A roommate. JUST what I need.

I step behind Luna and take a look at the girl whom Luna had called "Toren." She has short, boyish, jet-black hair and piercing blue eyes. She's wearing what looks like a one-piece racing suit, or surfing suit. She rocking back and forth on her feet and rubbing her hands together. She's clearly restless.

She looks up at me and gives a funny smirk. "Hey, roomie."

"Hi," I return coldly. I stare at her right back and give her a look saying that it's NOT a good idea to mess with me.

There's nothing like running from a gazillion autos early in the morning. I riled them all up earlier and they weren't too happy. Old habit. Back to the story. I ran through the streets laughing my head off as the townspeople came to stare. No worries, they'll get used to it. I let out my hair and ran to the Business District. I weaved through the town and soon lost all the autos. Ha! I thought as I walked home. That was soooo much fun! I have to do that more often. . . When I arrived the flag on the mailbox was up.
"Mail? " I said surprised. "I wasn't expecting any today..... Then again, I don't normally expect mail." I opened the mail box and took out the note.

_____________________________________________________________

Dear Ava,
The Resistance Academy has invited you to attend our academy. In this academy, you will learn how to fight the Empire, craft items, develop special abilities, collect Aether, and much more.

In case you choose to accept our invitation, we have supplied you with the school routine and times, as well as a map of the campus.

We hope you accept our invitation, and we can't wait to see you at the Resistance Academy. If you do choose to decline our offer, you may disregard this letter.

Happy Aether Hunting,
~ The Resistance Academy ~

No..... WAY!!!!! I smirked and placed the map and schedule in my pocket. Should I pack? Of course! I grabbed my dark purple backpack and began.

Lets see.... my trench coat..... pencils...... pocketwatch..... books...... binoculars....... note pad..... and some other stuff. Okay! I'm packed and ready to go!
I slipped the backpack on and made my way to the academy. When I arrived I boldly knocked on the front gates.

Lila_Lightcraft 2019-01-02 15:25:33 UTC #31

I gasp and squeal with delight.

"My new roomie!! Our new roommate is here Willow!"

Oh no! Why did she have to come this soon?

I scowl at Willow and fling open the door. A girl with a wild blond ponytail and bright green eyes smiles at me. "HIIIIIIIII!!!!" I scream/squeal in her face. She jumps back in suprise.

"H-hi?" She says, a bewildered look on her face. I cringe,

"Oops, sorry. I was just a bit excited, you know I've never had a roommate so you're my first one! Oh and I made sure to leave enough room at everything for you! Here lemme take those."

I grab the girl's bags and throw them on her bed.

"I saved the top bunk for you since Willow wanted me to be closer to her so she can sleep with me."

The girl looks around the room and smiles, I beam. Then she turns and holds out her hand.

"I'm Nola, Nola Applequill." She says.

Still beaming I take her hand and shake it so much the girl's hat falls off.

"I'm Lila! Lila Lightcraft Assistant to Jefferson. So...how do you like it here?"

@Nola_Applequill1

Toren_Jumpspark 2019-01-02 17:43:29 UTC #32

"HI," the girl replied coldly.

At that instant, I realized that this girl would not be my friend. Although I tried to start a conversation, "Soo... what's your name?" She clearly didn't want me to talk, but I clearly didn't want to stop. I was the expert at annoying people to death.
"Peregrine," she replied yet again coldly.
"Interesting," I replied. "I've always been fond of the Peregrine falcon. Anyways, I have the top bunk. I was here first so... I guess I got to choose."
"Ok... I suppose I'll take the bottom bed," Peregrine said.
"Suppose? Like sleeping on the floor is an option? I couldn't take that. Actually, I could. But I prefer a bed if it's perfect. I'm picky with a bed. Fortunately, this one is decent and won't drive me insane."

I hear a knock on the front door and turned to Toren and Peregrine. "I'll be RIGHT back. Stay right here." At this I give Toren a piercing glare. "I MEAN it."
I run to the gates and open them. The girl standing there has pretty black hair. I smile at her. "You're Ava?" I ask. She nods. "welcome to the Resistance Academy!"
Another girl is standing there. "And you're Snoelle?" I ask. (OOC: Sorry for forgetting about you, @Snoelle_Fitzshine! my mind must be kafoogala)
"Yes," the girl replies.
"You both can share a room," I say. I lead them to a nice corner room. the wall facing the garden is completely made out of stained glass, and the hammock beds have soft blankets on them. "You'll have to see the Headmaster tomorrow, he's asleep. Please get comfortable!"

(OOC: This Nola is obviously not like Nola Applequill from NA:CU. Not at all. I think she's a little more extroverted. )

"I'm Lila! Lila Lightcraft, assistant to Jefferson! So... How do you like it here!"

I answered Lila as I picked my hat up off of the floor. "Well... I kind of just got here. But so far, I think this is pretty awesome!" After a slight pause, I added, "So you're an assistant to Jefferson?"

"Yeah!" she exclaimed.

"That's pretty cool." I smiled, then added, "I'm... Well, I'm a detective in No Man's Landing. NMLPD. I help solve crimes! Weeeell... I help real detectives solve crimes." My smile faded slightly.

"What do you mean?" Lila asked. "I thought you said you were a detective!"

"I am." A mischievous smirk sneaked across my face. "Sort of."

"Sort of?" Lila repeated.

"I'm a detective in training," I finally said, bursting a short laugh. "Still learning. I also help the detectives solve cases, sooo, you can think of me as a detective's aid." I shrugged.

Ana Hopespark sat on a long-dead tree stump, carefully molding a tiny ball of clay into the shape of a panda. She loved pandas dearly, however, it's far to hot in Ember City for any to survive.

She adjusted her bandanna and smiled at her progress. The little panda was taking form!

"Ana!" called a familiar voice.

Ana turned to see her friend and mentor, Meghan Amberstone, grinning broadly and holding a letter.

A letter?

"What's that?" she asked.

"An opportunity, Ana! Do you remember what I've told you about the Resistance work in Aethasia?"

"I think about it all the time," Ana replied.

"Well, dear," Meghan replied, her face beaming, "I called some Resistance members on my communicator, and they've pulled strings to give you this!"

She shoved the letter into Ana's scarred hands. Ana laid her clay panda in her lap and opened the letter. It was an invitation to the Aethasian Academy! Ana gasped, a thousand feelings welling up.

"Isn't it exciting, Ana?" asked Meghan, "You'll learn more about the Resistance then I could ever teach you!"

"But . . . what more could I learn?" she asked quietly.

Meghan's brow furrowed, "Oh dear . . I've taught you best I can, but there's so much more you could learn in Aethasia! Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"

"I do," Ana stated honestly, "However . . . I don't want to leave Ember City, I don't want to leave our mission, I don't want to leave you!"

"I'll always be here, dear," Meghan replied, stroking Ana's blonde hair, "You won't live at the Academy forever, and I'll visit you as often as I can."

Don't turn this down, Ana! said the voice of her long lost friend, Who knows when you'll get another chance?

Quite right, Miss K, she thought, who knows.

"I'll go," Ana replied, hope welling up inside her.

Meghan clapped her hands, "Excellent! I'll help you pack your things tonight, you'll be off in the morning!"

She turned on her heels and returned to the studio. Ana sighed and stared up at the sky, I'll be off in the morning.

Ana stood outside the Aethasian Academy, wondering where to go. There was something strange about the air in Aethasia, it was . . . not as warm as Ember City.

Then, a blonde-haired Aethasian opened one of the Academy doors, a happy smile on her face.

"H- hello," Ana greeted, glancing about nervously, "I was invited here by the Resistance!" She held out the invitation as proof.

(Ah, good to know )

"Detective's aid...interesting!" I smile.

"Meow." I look down and find Willow pawing at my skirt.

"Oh! Is that your cat? She's so cute!" Nola squats down and scratches Willow under her chin. Willow purrs, rubbing her face against Nola'a hand.

"Aww!"

I smile, "I guess she likes you! Her name is Willow."

Nola stands back up. "Willow...I like that name!"

I grin, "Yah. Well she wants to be fed so I better go do that!" I walk over to Willow's bowl to refill it.

so...you do like our roommate.

Willow snorts. I guess I do. she says haughtily.

I smirk well I like her too. Maybe I can show her the experiment I'm working on!

Willow eyes widen you brought that with you?!

I frown of course I did! Why wouldn't I?

but...but...what if you succeed! And then you have to go to class!

I look at Nola, unpacking her things. if I tell Nola about it...she'll be able to pour the antidote on me, right?

but you can't! You just can't tell her! What if she tells the whole class about it? About how you're trying to turn yourself into a-

But our conversation was interrupted by A knock on the door.

"Come in!" Me and Nola call at once. We giggle as Luna peeks into the room.

"Hey guys!" She says. "We're all coming down stairs for an introduction."

oh great! Willow hmphed.

oh hush it Willow.

"Of course! We'll right there." I tell Luna. She smiles.

"Great." Then she disappears again.

I push my loose goggles up my nose, pick up Willow, and head out the door behind Luna.

I open the gates for this newcomer. "Are you..." i wrack my brain for a moment, then the name comes to me. "Ana Hopespark?"
"Yes," she replies.
"Come inside!" We're doing introductions!" I usher Ana inside and lead everyone to the outdoor rec area. I make sure everyone has a comfortable on the lush grass, then clear my throat.
"I'm sure all of you have seen me before, when you came here. My name is Luna Fuzzyradish, assistant to the Headmaster." I hold up a big bouncy rubber ball. "I'm gonna toss a ball to a person and ask them a question. They answer and then pass it to another person and ask THEM a question, and so on."
I hold the ball for a minute, then bounce it toward Ana. "Where are you from?"

Kimkate_Burnclock 2019-01-02 20:28:22 UTC #39

Ana cringe behind her mint green bandanna, why did she have to be asked this? Why?

"I'm . . . I'm from the Country Sect," she stammered.

Luna stared at her oddly, "The Country Sect?"

"It's in Ember City . . ." she murmured, hiding her face behind the strange round object.

"Alright, toss it to the next person!" called Luna.

Ana glanced about the circle of people, wondering who to toss it to next. Without a thought, she threw the ball away from her, hitting the girl opposite her in the face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ana pleaded.

"What's your question, Ana?" asked Luna cheerfully.

Questions, questions, what do I say?! she thought.

"Ah, what's your favorite animal?"

Lila_Lightcraft 2019-01-02 20:36:01 UTC #40

While trying to keep Willow quiet I get hit in the face and my goggles fall off.

"Oh!" I look around and see a girl I hadn't seen before, shrinking away.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The girl says. I smile and pick up my goggles.

"It's all right, these lenses are loose on me anyway. You didn't break them or anything!" I say with a nervous laugh.

Luna says something that I can't hear and the girl timidly says.

"Ah, what's your favorite animal?"

I beam. "Why, a cat of course!" Then I look around trying to find someone to throw the ball to. I see a girl looking around sourly at everyone and pick her. I smile my quirky smile and throw it to her.

"Hey you, why do you look like you hate everyone?"

glances at Ava
sigh... could be worse, I guess.
“Fine. Whatever. That’s great. I have have some accommodations that will need to be made. Can I talk to you about them? Or is there someone else? And where is my room? It will take me a while to set up.”

Lila_Lightcraft 2019-01-02 21:51:08 UTC #42

I frown at the girl who interrupted the introduction.

"Um, can't you see here we're trying to introduce eachother so we can get along?" I push my goggles up my nose and sniff.

Maybe I should've thrown the ball to her instead.

Snoelle_Fitzshine 2019-01-02 21:57:08 UTC #43

Ugh, seriously? What a weirdo. Who does she think she is?
“Um, excuse me, but I think that your conversation can wait. I have some important things that I have to have worked out. I think that might be reasonable.”
scoff
And what’s with the waterworks? I don’t know how she made it past preschool. And those goggles! Does she think she’s a pilot or something?
