Iron Bridge Academy (An Advanced Roleplay) discussion

[image error] And about thirty of these.

((O.o Cool chair...))

Alec, after jogging away from the courtyard, arrived at the History classroom. He settled down quickly and flung his bag to the floor, next to his right thigh. He then whipped out his homework and started scribbling answers onto the blank black lines. He paid no attention to his surroundings, even if the professor was just in front of him and staring.

Max whipped out his schedule in front of the History class. Then, seeing it was the correct class, walked in. He chose a seat by a window and took his DE Tablet out.

Raven trudged up to the History class and not caring who saw her, the gothic girl walked to the back desk and sat there. She prepared her DE Tablet in case they needed to take down notes.

Brooke smiled at Max before sitting next to him. She took her tablet out and fastened it to its holder.

Alec slammed the pen down triumphantly. "Done!" he announced, though finishing a paper in two minutes wasn't his record. Professor Dimitri turned at raised an eyebrow at Alec's sudden announcement. "Homework wasn't done again, Mr. Farra?" he said with lips pursed, shaking his head. He continued, "Let's see if partnering with someone more responsible will make you learn. Brooke? You're with Alec. Raven and Maximilian."

BROOKE'S WITH THE RUDE GUY?! Max screamed inwardly. He coughed, to hide his emotion and blankly walked over to the table next to Raven. He had brought his tablet.

Brooke nodded slowly before sitting in the table next to Alec's, bringing her tablet with her. She set it on the holder. Then she waited for further instructions. If only.. I was with Max. She thought. Not everyone knew but she had a crush on Max. She didn't think Max liked her.

Raven rolled her eyes, bored. The walls, her pencil, the tablet, everything was whispering their own stories to her. It was giving her a migraine.

((nothing!!! Its their world go here!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Gri...))

(("Grayson Maximillian Sumner the third, or Max as he prefers to be called, is the son of the richest family in Avalon, Minnesota." What? I never knew that and besides, I'll make Alec clueless, he never went to Avalon anyway.))

Professor Dimitri grinned in his head as the students looked up and awaited for further instructions. Let's see how the little genius deals with this, he thought as he cleared his throat. "Now, students. I want you all to make a brief review of the History of Avalon as pairs, your grades with be affected by this essay. I give you thirty minutes. Any questions?" he announced.

Alec raised his hand immediately. "Yes?" the professor said, trying to hide his grin. Oh, this is the best punishment to give Farra, he thought as Alec stood. "WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU PICK THAT TOPIC? It's punishment, isn't it?" Alec demanded, slamming his desk with a pen. Professor Dimitri could have laughed out loud at Alec's shocked face but he managed to keep a straight face. "No," the professor said, "I'm not always thinking about you, how much you wish it. So quiet, Farra. You time begins now." He then turned away and sat behind his desk.

I knew it. He hates me, Alec thought as he sat back down, staring at the blank piece of paper in front of him. He had no tablet, even if his family was rich, for his parents wanted him to go through the hard way, being he was so arrogant.

Brooke immediately booted her tablet and clicked in 'History of Avalon'. A thousand links showed up and she sighed before clicking the first one. She found what seemed like the exact thing, only it was two pages long. "Can you copy that down? I'll get the second page done." Brooke said before she started to copy down the second page.

Max was torn between two. He wanted to keep an eye on Alec and Brooke but at the same time, do his work. He decided. Work first, then keep watch. He told himself. Turning to Raven, he began. "So Raven.. Did the history book tell you any thing like a short version or something?" Max asked earnestly.

"More or less. The short version was only… hm.. half a page. The history book is shouting it at me. I'm transferring what it says to the tablet. Just copy it down." Raven said, scrunching her eyebrows together as she let her thoughts connect with the DE Tablet.

"HALF A PAGE? MORE LIKE TWO PAGES!!" Max choked out. Still, he set to the task of copying it down. In a few minutes, he was on the second page. Raven shook a thought that her toilet was screaming at her before it could enter into the data.

"Ugh. I wish I had photographic memory," Alec groaned as he started scribbling the page down on his paper. Being a huge multitask, he could read the page and write at the same time, saving tons of time. But the copying part wasn't his problem, he didn't understand a thing. Finishing the writing in around two minutes again, Alec shoved the paper aside and read through the article again. Words flashed before his eyes, mostly names he never heard of. Dazed and confused about everything, Alec shook his head in frustration and read it again. He hated being confused, how was he ever going to beat his sister at this rate? He gritted his teeth and reread the article again and again and again.

((I'm trying to make a super-short profile of my new character-Elliot Selika James-so I'll be just stationary for awhile.))

Max finished his work. Raven smiled. At last, the two were done. Max now went to stalker mode. He kept an eye on Brooke and Alec while reading the history over again. He could memorise it after he had read it around five times, thanks to some gift the Skyfire had given him.

Raven closed her eyes, and pressed her hands, so it covered her face. She couldn't stand the voices of every single non living object around her. Even people's clothes were talking. She was getting a full migraine.

Brooke had already finished her page and stared quietly at her tablet, which was being scanned through by Alec.

((okay. Nice name!!))

((Back! Introducing Elliot Selika James!))

Alec was just reading the article for the sixteenth time when a boy in a hooded jacket stepped into the classroom, looking slightly lost. He must have been new. Though more like just arrived into this country. The boy made his way to Professor Dimitri and they started to stare at each other. What are they doing? Alec thought in his head.

Raven gave a slight gasp. The boy who just walked in. His clothes had told her he was something like her. She shook her head, just as everything around her started to scream their thoughts at her. She cringed and squeezed her eyes shut.

You have telepathy, Elliot Selika James? was Professor Dimitri's question right after the boy in front of him said into his head, "Good morning sir, I'm sorry I arrived late. It was the flight, it was delayed slightly." "Yes, sir" was the boy's answer. Professor Dimitri then ushered him into a seat and told him what he'd be doing, "You're going to partner that boy and girl over there. The blond one with the goth one. Yes, correct. Raven and Grayson Maxillian Summer. They have finnished their work already so just...get to know them."

Elliot nodded and moved for Raven and Max. He only gave them a tiny wave before sitting down. He noticed the girl's troubled look and realized it must be because everything was calling out to her. Just like everyone's mind was calling out to him.

Max looked at Elliot. "Hi." He muttered before looking at Raven. "Raven. Calm down. Block everything out." He said frantically. "I can't! I'm trying!" Raven hissed at him, taking no notice of Elliot. Just then, her mind seemed to break down and she buried her head in her arms, blocking everything out except for one thing. A song she had in her mind.

Calm yourself through chaotic times..
Listen to the ringing bell chimes..
Imagine yourself block out everything
Except for the gentle notes.
Nothing is bothering you
You have nothing to do.

Raven sang quietly to herself.

Elliot couldn't help but feel he needed to remember that.

Calm yourself through chaotic times..
Listen to the ringing bell chimes..
Imagine yourself block out everything
Except for the gentle notes.
Nothing is bothering you
You have nothing to do.

Yes, it would have come in handy for him too. Talk about- "Yeah, and maybe I should really send her to the infirm-" "What is going on with her? Broo-" "Calm down, Raven. Block everything ou-" Everyone's thoughts were banging down on him. Especially people with mind ramble, like that... Sebastian Alexander Farra. He winced at the current flow of thoughts, though it would have been really calm compared to the things Raven might have been hearing. Gritting his teeth, he thought of the song again and again to himself. Though unbeknownst to him, stress made him broadcast out his thoughts too.

Calm yourself through chaotic times..
Listen to the ringing bell chimes..
Imagine yourself block out everything
Except for the gentle notes.
Nothing is bothering you
You have nothing to do.
It wasn't helping...

Calm yourself through chaotic times..
Listen to the ringing bell chimes..
Imagine yourself block out everything
Except for the gentle notes.
Nothing is bothering you
You have nothing to do.
He tried again, this time louder...

Calm yourself through chaotic times..
Listen to the ringing bell chimes..
Imagine yourself block out everything
Except for the gentle notes.
Nothing is bothering you
You have nothing to do.

Max frowned as a song entered his mind. It seemed to come from Elliot. Raven looked up in bewilderment. She looked at Elliot. The song broadcasted from him.

"Who's singing that?" Alec demanded from his seat. He couldn't say it sounded horrible, it was soothing, sung by a calm and soft voice. Though it was just a comment, it smashed Elliot. Was I actually... Oh no, Elliot thought, stunned that Alec and the others could hear him. Some were staring while others were raising eyebrows. Okay, 'others' on the second sentence mostly meant Professor Dimitri only.

Sorry? Elliot offered in a now timid thought. He hated loosing control....

Raven looked at him. She tilted her head in acknowledgement, knowing he was the one who broadcasted the song. She gave him a small grateful smile. Thanks. The changeling thought in her mind.

Um...no problem, Elliot returned to only her. Maybe telepathy was considered 'cool' in boys-who-didn't-have-telepathy's standards, but it was frustrating in actual fact. Telekinesis too. When you got mad or seriously frustrated, everything will start to float and smash together if you couldn't control it. And in Elliot's case, he couldn't control either. Frustrating.

Raven turned to the thoughts of her pencil, who was telling her a story of when it was in the factory. A worker brought a toddler to the factory, and the toddler chewed on every single pencil except for hers. Magical.

"Okay... Thank you, Elliot. Now, where are those reports? Raven, the pencil's story isn't that interesting. Alec, please stop trying to stare Brooke's Tablet to death. And Elliot, do you have lung infections or something?" Professor Dimitri said, pointing out the students' behavior. And true, Elliot was starting to breathe in through raspy breaths. "Sorry, sir!" Elliot apologized.

((I'm going for dinner now, bye.))

Raven glared at the professor. She shut off all thoughts in her head.

Max put the papers together and waited.

Brooke smiled softly.

((ok))

((Back.))

"Okay, now that we're all ready, I'll be collecting the papers. Elliot, we were doing a brief essay of the history of Avalon. You'll do that as homework," the professor said, turning the other way, thus causing him to miss Raven's glare. Not that it would have done either of them any good if he did. So Dimitri went down the rows and collected all the papers and some hardware students had from yesterday's I-forgot-to-bring-my-homework club.

((Want me to dismiss them?))

((um sure))

Raven tidied up her things. Max did the same, giving Elliot a pitying look when he heard the boy's homework. Brooke, being a tidy person, had packed her things up

(( I'll be back. I need to eat my dinner. Its almost six thirty in Jakarta and I haven't eaten. Be back later. ))

"We're done here. Everyone out before ten seconds is up or you're having detention," the professor announced, clapping his hands together to signify the end of lesson. Outside, there were already students waiting for their turn for history.

Alec shoved his stuff into he bag and raced out of the classroom as Dimitri started his ten-super-long-seconds countdown. Elliot however, levitated his stuff into his old and worn-out messenger bag, practicing his power and getting things done at one go. Then he hit the exit just as Professor Dimitri called 'zero'.

Brooke, Max and Raven dashed out at the count of nine.

((Okay, it's fine. ;))

((Besides, what's the next class?))

((creature thing.))

((Sure. You post first, I need to do some work...))
