"Ah...not really..." Lex said furtively, feeling a little dumb. "Well...I play guitar, but I'm not really good at it. Skating comes really naturally to me....I've been doing it forever."

She watched Akida petting her fox with a mild fascination.

"He's really cute," she commented. "It is a he right? Foxes are such neat animals....they're so crafty."

She shuffled through the papers in her pocket, finally pulling out the informations sheet that had come with her book and supply list. She glanced over it, her brow furrowing.

"What House d'you suppose you'll get in? It looks kinda confusing...."
 
Akida giggled at Lex, Nashy making a mental noise of disgust. "Nashy's a she," she corrected easilly. "Hard to tell with foxes."

She peered over at the paper, pondering. "In all honesty, I have no idea. I'm not really worried about what House I get it. What freaks me out more is how they're going to decide..."
 
OOC: Before you can start RPing, take a look at the rest of the members' profiles. We're looking for quite a bit more detail than what you've provided. As is, we can't accept you into the RP yet, but take some time to rework and add more detail to your profile, and you should be fine! ^_^

IC: "Ah...sorry Nashy," Alexis aplogized, feeling foolish. She returned her attention to Nat when she mentioned the method of sorting. "You mean, you can't just pick? What d'you hafta do? Take an exam or something?"

This news frightened her. She was suddenly having second thoughts. She didn't know the first thing about magic. How was she going to prove herself enough to get into a House? What if she wasn't sorted at all?
 
OOC: Don't spam thread. Have any questions, go to the discussion thread. *gives warning*

IC: "We're going to be late!" Kelly said nervously as she noticed that the train station wasn't any were close. The others, who were also walking a bit faster, did note what time it was, and were surprised to see their parents actually rushing too.

"Go go go!" Elizabeth said as they scrambled into the train station and made their way to Platform 5 1/4. Elizabeth the proceeded to usher all four of them to the platform.

OOC: Short post but didn't want to make the post spam, after I just yelled about it... XD

((Was that directed towards me? *confused* or was it towards a post that was deleted and I can't see it...
If it was towards me, I'll try to improve.))

And so the important things were completed, but that was the beginning of Mira's problems. To board a train ment that she must interact with beings she had never met before, and interaction wasn't her best trait. Maggie tugged at her heels, but became wary as the two entered the train, her father watching. As soon as the girl was inside the train, he turned to leave without another "Good-Bye," or "Write to me," as she had seen the other parents do. But, as the youngest child out of four (all of which had graduated in the previous years) her father was probably happy that he would finally have time to himself.

Or was it the exact opposite? Was he upset that he would be all alone, with no wife, in a large house for a long time. Was he so upset that he refused to say good-bye so he wouldn't have the feeling of being alone. Mira decided to think less of this and more of trying to find an empty compartment, or one that seemed to have friendly-enough people. She had found many filled with people that looked about as happy as children in a candy-shop with a full bag of money, but all were full. Her wand bumped foreignly in her right-hand pocket, the one that was the last of the long list of ones she had tested. The strange thing was, the man who was helping her refused to tell her what it contained and what it was made of, but whispered to her father nervously. She caught tid-bits of it, hearing; "Wolf....Fur....never before." and her father calmly explaining something to him.

She knew, but didn't want to know it, so she shoved these thoughts at the back of her head, determined to find a seat. Finally, she found one that was empty. Well, not entirely. There were forgotten candy lables and wrappers lying on the floor, and a squished bug in the corner of the room. She wrinkled her nose, appalled. Perhaps those were the reasons why it had no one in it. However, she thanked the dead bug for making it empty and sat in the seat closest to a window, hoping it would stay empty so she wouldn't have to face anyone with questions and answer with unfinished answers that left the questioner wanting more.

OOC: Ok, this will be the final time I say this! LISTEN UP EVERYBODY!

No more "OOC" all that junk will be handled in the Discussion thread. I repeat. NO MORE OOC POST! This marks the last one.

Sorry it had to be you, WG. It's not just you, a whole lot of OOC has been goin' on lately with all of us. Now with that being said.

WG, since it's mega annoying to indent on PC, double space between each paragraph, makes it easier to read. ^^

RP Sample:
Eddy snuck downstairs after hearing the mail man post the letters. It was early in the morning so he was wearing his pyjama's. His pyjama's were red with a picture of a wizard on them. His mum always bought these for him every year. The Sun was just above his head. He looked out of the window in the living room on the bottom floor and saw that the street was strangley empty. He snuck outside and along the drive to the mailbox and took the post in. The surroundings outside were very quiet there was only the soound of the trees rustling in the wind and a few birds singing the dawn chorus.

He looked through them and they mainly were bills and other things but the last letter read:

Eddy Gordo
123 Asuka lane

Eddy opened the letter and read through
"yeah yeah yeah right lets see been invited to school of witch craft and wizardry blah blah blah..... huh?" He looke back and re read the bit that spoke about witchcraft and wizardry.
"WOW!" He shouted and ran back upstairs to his mom's room to show her. She was still in bed when he got there. His mum took the letter off him and read it aloud.
"Greetings,

There will be departures from New York City, Orlando, Chicago, and San Fransisco at noon exactly. Regardless of the city from which you depart, the platform you must reach is 5 1/4. Enclosed you will also find a book list and a list of supplies for your first year at Chimney Rock. I look foward to seeing you on September first.

Sincerely,

Ichabod Dellman
Headmaster
Chimney Rock School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry"

"I knew you would get this sooner or Later" She said
 
I slurped the last of my chocolate shake through a straw, glancing at my watch. My eyes widened as I did so and I looked at Riz, saying, "**** fire, Riz, we gottta get going. We'll be late if we don't hurry up." I rummaged through my pockets and grabbed enough money to pay and for a generous tip, slapping it down on the table. I grabbed my bag with all my essentials, my parents would have taken care of the rest.
 
Riz gasped and nodded. "I'll meet you on the train, okay?" she said quickly, scooping up Tolati and rushing out the door. "I gotta find Grandma!" she called over her shoulder as she ran out.

She found her quickly, much to Riz's relief. Tolati yipped happily as they found the older lady. "Quickly, Riz! You're going to miss the train!!"

After a lot of scrambling, Riz was officially on the train in an empty compartment, breathing heavilly. Her trunk was heavy, after all. Tolati licked Riz's hand, yipping again and bouncing around the compartment, causing Riz to giggle.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Akida shivered. "I'm sure you can't just pick... I mean, then they risk the chance of overloading the dorms..."

She found herself toying with Nashy's collar out of nervousness. "I just hope it's nothing difficult. I don't know much about magic, nothing that they can actually test me on anyways... Hopefully, it won't be a test at all..."

She looked up at Lex with hope in her eyes. "Maybe they'll just number us off or something?"
 
I myself had just made a straight dash for the train, though I was held up momentarily while trying to board it by Michael's revenge, a Leg-Locker Curse. It was rather embarrassing to be hauled onto the train by your older and manhandled about the compartments before he would even consider preforming the counter-curse. In fact, he dragged me down, apparently looking for something. I found out what when he opened a compartment and shoved me in. I was grateful for something cushioning the impact until I looked over and saw just what that was. I blushed deep scarlet and looked over at Riz, apologizing profusely. Micahel just laughed as he preformed the counter-curse, my legs springing apart.
 
?Okay Rae, today?s your big day.? her mother said urgently, her face concentrated. ?Go do well and make us proud.? she said as she walked onto Platform 5 ?.

?And remember to write back!? added Irving, handing Ula back to Rae.

?I?ll write everyday.? Rae promised her little brother as she gave him a hug. ?That?s a promise.? she added, lugging her trunk to the train, still facing her family. As the train gave a warning whistle, Raelin turned her back on them and rushed to the train. Not before hearing,

?Irving? don?t cry?? said her mother, choking back tears.

?I?m not crying!? replied Irving, pouting. ?you?re the one who?s crying!? he accused.

Rae sighed as she closed the door behind her. How was she ever going to make it through this semester? I hope that they are going to be okay?. she thought, wiping a tear from her lashes.

 
"Bye," Elizabeth cried, as she smothered herself in Charles shirt, he looked at the quadruplets who haven't even started to board the train with a hopeless expression on his face.

The four children just smiled broadly at their father as they saw him roll his eyes at Elizabeth's hysteria. "Don?t worry, mum!? Russ said softly as he turned his back and was surprisingly the first one on the train.

?Yeah, no worries! We?ll definitely be back sooner than you think!? Rebecca said continuing to smile wide at her parents. She then hustled after Russ, making sure he didn?t get lost.

?Bye dad, bye mom,? Matt said with a wave, he didn?t smile, which worried the three remaining. His face was full of worried as a tear ran down his cheek. ?I?ll miss you,? he mouthed before hopping on the train.

The warning whistle blew.

Kelly rushed over and quickly kissed and hugged both her mom and dad and waved farewell, not wanting to be left behind.

Inside the train was chaos. New students scrambling to and fro, trying to find an empty compartment. Older students didn?t help much as they laughed at the little ones, and it didn?t help that large groups stood in the middle of the isle reminiscing about old times and new ones to come. Kelly, Russ, and Rebecca quickly found an empty compartment before it had a chance to be filled. ?Are you coming?? Rebecca asked exasperated, as Matt seemed to be looking for someone, who he wasn?t sure, he?d get a chance to meet up with the crowd.

?No, you guys go ahead, I?ll be fine without you,? Matt said absentmindedly as he pushed through the crowd, Nickel meowing loudly in protest. Trying to find the girl, Rae, proved to be like finding a needle in a haystack as he searched train car to train car.

?Where is she?? Matt asked himself as he continually failed to find the girl he met at the bookstore a few short minutes ago. Nickel, his gray kitten, meowed in protest every step of the way.
 
"I don't know a whole lot of magic either," Alexis admitted, glad that Akida had first. "I hope they just number us off..."

She watched as a herd of students made their way past their compartment. She brushed her short dirty blond hair back and watched them nervously. Scampit remained asleep in her lap, apparently tired from the day's ventures.

"Looks like we'll be leaving soon..." Alexis said in a thoughtful, perhaps hopeful voice. The hint of a smile was playing about her face. She had to admit that she was getting excited....

OOC: Sorry RM, but it just seems silly to post this in the discussion thread if Squall doesn't go there...

In any case, Squall...my only qualm is your punctuation and grammar, but the profile is a big improvement from what I've seen previously. I'll let you in if you promise to be meticulous with your grammar. We have a three-warning system going on, so please be aware of that, okay?

The girl blinks back tears as she tries to find her father. Perhaps he was waving, but no, he had indeed left. Maggie hops into the seat across from her, watching the people pass by from the compartment.

Luna smiles slightly. "If nobody comes into this compartment, that's a good thing, Maggie." Of course, the cat never comprehended what Mira says most of the time, but let a low purr loose from the bottom of her throat. She looks back out the window, her tired eyes looking at the parent's hugging their children good-bye, and kissing them on the cheek.

"Besides," the girl sighs, "Who would want to be friends with a werewolf?"
 
Riz blushed as well, scooting over a hair. "Hey Seth," she said, her cheeks very scarlet.

Tolati managed to cool things down a bit as she began bouncing all over Seth's lap, barking and licking at any bit of Seth she could.

~~~~~~~~

Akida nodded. "Hopefully," she said gently. "I would really like to get to this school, after finally hearing all the wonderful things about it."

Nashy yawned, closing her eyes. She seemed to be taking the same route as Scampit.
 
I lauhed as Tolati began bouncing about me, managing a breathless "Hey." back to Riz. I began playfully scratching Tolati's sides, adding, "Sorry about that. I guess he was rather attached to his revenge."
 
"So," the girl asks her cat, not feeling the least bit strange that she was talking to a living thing that wouldn't reply back in English, "What house do you think I'll be placed in? Father was in Viperfang, and so were my other siblings, but I'm not like them," she pauses to think, "Perhaps...ah, we'll find out when we get there, now, won't we?" she smiles.
 
?Where do you think he?s off to?? Kelly asked as she watched Matt scurry off.

?Probably to find Rae,? Russ said with a shrug as he ferret curled on his lap to sleep. He looked over at Ginger, Rebecca?s brindled Great Dane, who was asleep at Rebecca?s feet and Galileo hooted softly in sleep in the cage Kelly picked out for it.

?Whose Rae?? Becca asked as she turned from her radio, that she was attempting to fix for her Ford Mustang, to Russ.

?The girl he was talking to at the bookstore,? Russ explained which drew a snicker from Kelly, who only received a pair of scowls from her siblings. ?I don?t think he?s infatuated with the girl. I just think he?s lookin? to make some friends.?

Becca nodded, ?Matt doesn?t fall head over heels for a girl. He?s a bit smarter than that. ?I hope he finds her though, he seemed determined to find her through this mess of people when he left.? Russ and Kelly could only nod in return.

?Well we?re on our way to our first year,? Russ sighed nervously, Kelly shared his uneasiness as Becca went back to fixing the car radio on her lap. The train hadn?t even started moving, so Becca wasn?t too concerned.

Matt waved as he caught sight of Rae. ?Rae!? he called, hoping to get her attention as he stumbled about trying to reach her. Nickel, comically, dug his front claws into Matt?s left shoulder, trying not to fall.
 
Eddy was late. He ran through the corridors to his next lesson which was Defence against the dark arts.
"Why do teachers always keep me behind!?" I asked angrily. I ran down the hall and round somemore corners to find my classroom was full with everyone including the teacher working.
"Who are you?" The teacher asked.
"I am Eddy Gordo sir" He said panting from running all that way.
"Well i'm Mr. Green and you are late so sit down and get your things out immediatly@ Mr. Green said in rage. Eddy walked over to an empty chair and sat down getting his things out.
