The University of Enchanted Individuals discussion

This is a magical beach. It never rains and is always sunny. Walk high above, along the board walk or walk under it and head straight into the water or sand. The high board walk is great for scenery and romantic outings. It is very public.... So don't get any ideas. ;)

The moment Bo stepped onto the pure whit sands of the beach, he knew where he'd be spending the majority of his out of class time. It was perfect, the only one slight blemish was, the sea. Bo looked at it apprehensively, but decided to wipe it's existence from his mind. Stowing his light blue backpack beneath a leaning coconut palm, he started a slow jog along the lip of the bay.

William observed the runner silently as he jogged. Wil was not the running type, but he wanted someone to hang out with. He was dying of boredom.

((Alas I have to go, it's almost half past 11 here and I've got work tomorrow, apologies))

As he took in the scenery, Bo realised that the beach was not as empty as he had first thought. Slowing to a walk, having not broken a sweat, he strolled over, a smile on his suntanned face. 'Hey there, you new here as well?'

((Okay. bye!!))

"First year." Wil answered nodding slightly, leaning against a tree. He observed this person, realizing he had no idea who he was. He stood up and reached out his hand. "William Lotness." he introduced. "But I'm called Wil a lot." He tilted his head, wondering what species this character was.

(( I'm making an assumption that there has been some kind of induction or intro, if that hasn't happened yet I'm more than happy to edit.))

'Pleased to meet you Wil, I'm Bowen Dayne, call me Bo,' He looked around at the empty beach ,'can't believe there;s nobody else out here on a gorgeous day like this!' Bo had felt a little subdued,well it wasn't normal for him to feel subdued at all usually, but the induction process had seemed to take forever. More than once he had caught himself staring wistfully out of the window through a taunting spear of sunshine was lancing into the rectangular, high-ceilinged hall.

'D'you know if they put us in houses or something?'

((What do you mean by your comment in parenthesis? I'm just not sure as to what you mean.... :P ))

((Oh just that I thought it a little strange to start first year at a new school at the beach. I might have a thread for the introduction of new students or something, so I ws just thinking out loud, or in type))

Bridget walked onto the beach.Bridget looked out to the sea in awe.

A small black dragon hatchling skimmed over the waves on wobbly wings before veering onto the beach.

((Oh, I don't think there's a thread for the introduction of new students. :/))

"Bo?" Wil repeated. "Nice to meet you. Um...houses?" he paused. "To be quite honest, I don't know. It's my first year here. Maybe we could ask someone in charge? I know all of the founders have a personal office we can talk to them in..."

Bridget walked closer to them.Bridget loved the beach already,she wished she could just stay here forever.

Bo did a double take, 'whoa, is that a dragon?' Normally he'd be suprised they actually existed, but then again other people might think the same of a person with sun-enhanced abilities.

He turned back to Wil, 'He, sorry about the questions, guess it makes it obvious that I'm new huh.' To his left he could just hear the soft sound of footsteps above the dull roar of breakers riding up the beach.

'Hey, hi there,' he said, smiling at the girl who was walking towards them.

Wil almost fell over at Bo's comment. A dragon?! And he (a werewolf) thought that he was as "mythical" they got..!
"We could go to one of the Headmasters." Wil suggested. "Seriously, I'm sure they'd be willing to help us." he turned around and looked at the girl. "Hey," he grinned, then glanced uncertainly at Bo. "Could you tell us where to find one of the headmaster's office?"

"hi,I really don't know"Bridget said standing to a stop.Bridget smiled shyly "Anybody wanna go swimming?"Bridget asked.

"I will!" Alvina ran up behind Bridget. "Hey!" she gave her friend a hug. "I haven't seen you in forever!" she smiled then looked at Bo and Wil. She glanced questioningly at Bridget, as if asking her to introduce her.

"oh hi..."Bridget said awkwardly"oh this is?..."Bridget said looking at Wil and Bo expectantly.Bridget hadn't see Alvina in years but still was mellow when meeting her after a while.

"Oh, sorry." Wil said. "I'm William, and this is Bowen." he answered.
"Nice to meet you," Alvina smiled. "I'm Alvina, and this is Bridget."
Wil nodded. "We were just talking, do you know where the headmaster's office is?"
"Oh, yeah! It's um...in the main building, down the second corridor on your left...um...there's a big plaque. I suggest one of the nicer ones. Professor Ivar, or Ashley."
"Thanks," Wil responded then looked at Bo. "You want to go talk to one of them?"

'Oh hey hi, Alvina, Bridget,' Bo looked at each of the girls in turn as he said their name, smiling openly at them,'like Wil said, I'm Bowen, but it's Bo really. Alvina, that's an unusual name, I like it though. So uh, you girls know each other?'He grinned.
At Wil's suggestion he glanced at his new acquaintance, before gazing wistfully at she sky, it WAS a lovely day, and truth be told, he needed to charge his 'battery' a little.
'Well, thanks for the head's up, but we can do that later right, c'mon day's a wasting.' He clapped Wil on the back.

"Ah, right." Wil grinned at the girls before looking back at the ocean. "Erm...what are we doing?" he asked uncertainly.

Bo looked from Alvina, to Bridget to Wil, and a thought occurred to him. 'How about... piggy back racing?'Secretly he remembered one of them saying they wanted to go for a swim, but he was more than happy to distract them away from that. He gave an involuntary shudder at the thought of the large expanse of undulating water before them, and tried, succesfully to pass it of as a stretch.

"Piggy-back racing?" Alvina gasped. "I'm horrible at doing that! And besides, I could last ten seconds with one of you on my back."
Wil hesitated. "I'm not oppose to it." he grinned. "Except I'm not much of a runner. Where would we go?"
Alvina looked desperately at Bridget for help. The last thing she wanted to do was piggy-back race with two mythical males!

Raff walked onto the beach in search of an ice cream stand, or some where he could get lunch.

'No, no, you girls clamber onto us and we'll see who wins,' Clay said laughing, 'I'd never ask you to give us piggy backs, although it would be, interesting.'

To answer Wil's question, Bo waved his hand at the yawning expanse of beach curving away from them to the faraway headland. Life's a beach my friend, and it's pretty much ours.'

Wil sighed uncertainly, then grinned. He was a werewolf...wolves run fast. His smiled quickly widened at the thought. His necklace... "Okay," he agreed. "Which one will you have on your back and how far will we go?"
Alvina laughed, relieved. She would have to be the one doing all the work.

'Tell you what,let's let the ladies decide shall we?' Bo wasn't about to go all Bolt on Wil, but he wasn't going to make it easy for him either. The odd thing about running was, that for him it absorbed more energy than he spent, and particularly under a strongly shining Sun, as it was now, every second spent under it, regardless of what he was going was pushing up the bar on his physical abilities.

Raff watched Sky while eating his ice cream.

"Ooh," Alvina looked a Bridget. "We get to decide!" she smiled. "Which one of you is a natural runner?" she asked.
"Probably Bo." Wil answered. "It's not my strong point." he admitted.
Alvina grinned. "Okay, I'll take Bo. That okay with you, Bridget?"

((Should we wait till Wolfgirl get's online?))

((Maria, you need to make Sky a charrie.))

Raff waved to her then threw his cone away, "I'm Raff."

((Edited sorry I didn't see your post.))

Woolfie wrote: "((Should we wait till Wolfgirl get's online?))"

((Yeah...we might want to wait for her...))

"I just joined this year. Couldn't join last year, wasn't Physic then." He said.

((Could you post her thoughts to? He reads minds.))

Raff nodded, "What are you exactly?" He asked trying not to sound rude.

(Character, charrie is an abbreviation.)

Raff smiled at Sky. "Hi." He said as she approached.

((Good! You did it right :P POST THERE THOUGHTS PLEASE!!!!! preferably in italics))

"That's neat, can you show me?" He nodded towards the water.

((Go to Some html is ok. its above the text box when you type. Or just typ <, i, > before your text, then <, /, i, > after your text.))

((Without the commas))

((Welcome. I believe it is your turn to post.))

Brook walked along the beach, barefoot, feeling the soft white sand under her feet. She smiled and looked out across the ocean when she heard voices ahead. She saw a small group of people and considered going over to say hi.

"Me neither, I've never met anything but humans, and there boring." Raff said in response to her thoughts.

((Raff's a boy, but all his friends so far are girls *laughs*.))

((GURG!!! sorry.... xD *runs to edit post*

((Its okay!))

((Thanks. :) ))

Raff was already in his trunks so he just took off his shirt and slipped it into his bag with his shoes.

"I'm ready to go." He said.

Curiosity finally getting the better of her, Brook walked forward. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Avellana is going to show us a mermaid town." Raff answered not taking his eyes off the water.
