Chatterbox: Inkwell

Boarding School RPG Part Two

Ok, so this is the second part of the Boarding School story. Some new people can join, but I have the information for the people who already have joined.

Rules:

Let’s keep the attempted murders to a minimum.

No getting mad because I have let new people join.

Have fun!

Plot:

So in the start of the Boarding School RPG, students were invited to a boarding school. They went, and were surprised to find that the classes were run by special students, and only one topic was taught to people, depending on their interests.

Now, some new students have been invited to the College for the Exceptionally Bright, along with the original students. There are students in charge of each dormitory, I call them NPCs, and they teach their dormitory part of the time. The dormitories are:

Math, run by Abby

Writing, run by Gared

Art, run by Lillian

PE, run by Thomas.

Think Harry Potter houses.

So half the time, the classes will be taught by the respective NPC, while the other half, professors will lecture.

So, if you are new, here is the character sheet:

Name

Age: (14-16)

Gender

Appearance

Personality

What dormitory are you in? Math, Writing, PE, Art

Plotline: Is your character more interested in the academics, or the social aspect of the college?

Pets: Max. three

Other

You are allowed to have as many characters as you want.

So, there will be references to the original story, but new people will be able to catch on. This is an RPG, or RP, so please stay on. Please, do not quit. I like feedback, so always speak up.

Note: The last one got fairly dark, be prepared for anything.

Alright, let’s begin!

Ok, a lot of people have joined. A lot. But Kestral and Daisy are the only people who seem to be on. I am going to say this is basically dead.

okay, but if kestrel keeps posting, I will too. So don't be mad if I take control of several Charries!

I'll do my best to keep this going for as long as possible, even if it is only a two person RP. Also, I don't mind getting controlled because that kind of gives me something to base my writing off of. I'll try to post something either later today or tomorrow.

Sorry its  been a while. A lot of stuff caame up that kept me away from here. I hope you're still on this thread, Daisy! TOP! 

Kestrel~

After Thomas is gone, Cleo, as I just found out her name, exchanged some pleasantries. Then I asked about the dance. ""Do you have a partner for the dance, yet?" 

"Well, he hasn't asked yet, but we have had a long history together. I'm sure he's intending to ask me. His name is Soren. You?," as she is saying this, Cleo blushes and smiles slightly, though I can tell she's trying not to.

"Sounds like your partner, Soren, is a definite yes. I don't have anyone yet, but..." I let my voice trail off as I think about the boy from the hallway... I sigh.

Cleo excuses herself for a moment, leaving me to my thoughts. A minute later, Cleo returns to me and we continue with introductory small talk, until someone bursts through the door and practically runs up to us. After looking Cleo up and down, they kiss. Cleo introduces us, then explains what happened when I came into the gym. The boy- Soren- finally turns so that I can fully see his face. My heart skips a beat, then begins racing. I completely miss what Soren says to me as he shakes my hand fervently. I look past Soren at Cleo, and I can tell my face is speaking for me. THIS is your boyfriend??? I begin to feel myself sinking into a pit of despair, but I do my best to hide it. But... Something about Soren seems different than the boy from the hallway. Something about his appearance... And he seems so much more open than that boy I met in the hallway. My heart lifts. Maybe... just maybe there's hope for me after all...

____________________________________________________________________________

Alright, so I have two plotlines in mind. Let me know which one you prefer.

1. Cleo and I become really close friends, but there is a bit of a love triangle happening, as I have a major crush on Soren, but since Cleo is dating him I can't have him.

OR

2.  Soren has an identical twin named Cobalt that he never told anyone about, and that twin is the one I met in the hallway.

Let me know what you think! I really want to see this story through to the end. Again, TOP! I beg of you to TOP!

Sorry, Kestrel, I never saw that post! Well, I shall TOP and post now! Also, I like 1# of your plot lines... Maybe later they can have a fight and then Kestrel can THEN fall for Cobalt? Let me know if that's okay. It just sounded dramatic to me (which is awesome!) 

Soren~

I look at Cleo. "Can we talk somewhere?" I ask her. She blushes prettily again  

"Sure. Kestrel, do you mind?" She says.

Kestrel looks from Cleo to me. "No, that's fine." She says. She didn't sound very enthusiastic.

But I lost no time in pulling Cleo away. Once we're alone, I pull her closer and look deep into her brown eyes, her soft brown hair falling gently around her beautiful face in waves.

"Cleo... Will you go to the dance with me?" I whisper. 

She looks thrilled. "Oh, yes, yes! Yes, Soren.”  

(Sorry for the short post. It is 2:15 a.m., and I really need to go to bed.)

Sorry I haven't posted here in a while... 

Kestrel~

After a few seconds of me feeling sorry for myself, and Cleo and Soren being completely oblivious, Cleo excuses herself and Soren. I answer with a nod and slightly sullen "sure". When the two return, Cleo appears to be over the moon. I supress a sigh. Always being the somewhat socially awkward one when it came to relationships, I never really had one that went beyond hugging every once in a while. But I have fantasized. A lot. With a mental shake of my head, I give Cleo a kknowing smile. "So what do you guys plan to wear to the dance? Personally, I think a really dark blue on one of you, and a pale blue on the other would look adorable, if you want to go for a couple's look," I grin, seeing their faces. After that Cleo and I go on to talk about our "dream dance," with Soren good naturedly adding small details every once in a while. Eventually (we had somehow unanimously decided to walk outside as we talked) the sky had gotten to become really dark, and it was nearly curfew. "Well, it was nice meeting you guys..." I break off the conversation, suddenly realizing how late it was. "But I'm really tired, and I've got an early class tomorrow." They both nod in agreement, and we go our separate ways.

Sorry for the suden cut-off, but I have to go...

Cleo~

Once Soren and I had another hasty kiss, we go back to Kestrel. I feel as if I'm walking on rainbows and sunbeams!

Kestrel comments with a grin, "So what do you guys plan to wear to the dance? Personally, I think a really dark blue on one of you, and a pale blue on the other would look adorable, if you want to go for a couple's look."

I look and Soren, who looks at me. Laughing, I joke, "I call the dark blue!" 

Kestrel and I continue talking and walking along the gradually darkening path, Soren goodnaturedly acting as a third wheel.  

Finally, Kestrel says, surprised, "Well, it sure has gotten dark! Look, it was nice meeting you, but I'm really tired and I have an early class tomorrow. Good night!" 

Soren and I nod, it was getting late. Waiting until Kestrel left, we had our private goodbye. "See you tomorrow, Cleo." He said. I hug him. "Tomorrow, I promise." I walk back to my room, to happy and tired to focus on it. 

 

The next morning. 

 

Soren~

I bang on her door. "Cleo? Wake up, sleepyhead. Class starts in a few minutes! We don't want to be late. Cleo?" Hmm. She wasn't answering. Maybe she left early for class? I swiftly trot to the classroom. No Cleo. A dreadful feeling of fear washed over me. I knew who to talk to. 

 

"Kestrel? Hey, um, I know it's early, but-" I started.

The door opened. She poked her head out. "Yes, what is it? I have class very soon. I've got to get ready."

"Oh, yeah, um. Sorry about that. But, kestrel, I can't find Cleo anywhere!"  I say desperately. Maybe I'm overreacting. After all, there are a million places she could have gone this morning. But she's not answering her phone (not that she does, like, ever) and I have a twisted feeling in my gut. 

Kestrel's face clearly mirrors what I'm thinking. She shrugged. "Soren, she's probably getting coffee, or planning out her outfit for the dance, or something like that. I wouldn't be worried if I were you. She'll show up, just relax."

Maybe Kestrel was right. I didn't relax, but I'd go to class. After that, I would look for her some more. "Okay, I guess you're right. Thanks, Kestrel." 

"My pleasure. See you later today? If she doesn't show up at lunch, I'll help you look for her." Kestrel shut the door.

 

(Hope I didn't control kestrel too much. Please don't have Cleo be found if/when you post next! I have an idea...) 

Bwa hahahahaa

Kestrel~

The next morning, I'm pulling my books together to go to class when I hear a knock at my dorm room door. I quickly shove the last couple of binders into my bag, and walk over to open the door. My heart skips a beat as I peek out and see Soren standing there. I step back, subtly taking a deep breath in the split second that the door is still between us. "Kestrel? Hey um, I know it's early, but-" he starts.

"Yes, what is it? I have class very soon. I've got to get ready," I hope I don't sound too skittish.

"Oh, yeah, um. Sorry about that. But, Kestrel, I can't find Cleo anywhere!"  he says. His words come out in a rush, as if he's geniunely worried.

I shrug, "Soren, she's probably getting coffee, or planning out her outfit for the dance, or something like that. I wouldn't be worried if I were you. She'll show up. Just relax." I smile comfortingly.

"Okay, I guess you're right. Thanks, Kestrel," Soren still seems doubtful, but I guess there's not much I can do about that. "My pleasure," I say, but I'm already thinking of all the possibilities... If that P.E. got to her again... My shoulders tighten with worry. Quickly, I say to Soren, " See you later today? If she doesn't show up at lunch, I'll help you look for her." and shut the door fast. I grab my phone, dialing Cleo's number. Nothing. I panic, temporarily, before I remember Cleo saying that she almost never answers her phone right away. I groan in frustration. I need to get to class now, but I definitely need to find her. For the next hour, I try to pay attention in class, but fail. My mind keeps wandering first to Cleo, then to Soren, and back. Absentmindedly, I go through the motions of class. Do the work (easy, most of this stuff is things tht I knew from my online summer courses), write down the homework (meh, if I forget to do it, I have enough extra credit points that it shouldn't matter too much), and answer questions (but only if asked directly). When the lesson ends, I am the first one out of the room, which never happens. I almost always stay to discuss things with the teacher afterwards. I like befriending teachers, if they're good ones. 

After going to my dorm to change into more comfortable clothes (bleh, nice clothes can be sooo uncomfortable sometimes). Then, I grab some money and head outside. After a few minutes of conversation with a firl from my class, I see Soren walking alone towards a tree. I rush over to talk to him, but trip on a tree root and go flying. I collide with Soren's chest, and we both go down, one on top of the other. We both lay there stunned for a second, before I roll off of Soren and we help each other get up. "Sorry!" I yelp. By this point in the day, I'm going out of my mind with worry for my friend. At the same time, he says, "Have you found her?" it appears that he is feeling similarly. 

I begin pacing, letting out a loud, long sigh of frustration. "No! I can't find her anywhere! All the places that we normally cross paths, she's not there. What do you think could have happened?" 

Soren looks taken aback by my suddenly caring so much. Defensively I say, "Yes, I know erlier today I acted like it wasn't a big deal, but I keep thinking about how I met Cleo in the first place- remember, Thomas (I think that as the guy's name- I don't remember, Sorry if it's wrong, Daisy) was harasssing her? Well, now I'm freaking out because what if he's go-" I break off as Soren grabs my hand. "Kestrel, don't worry. We'll find her. Even if Thomas has got Cleo, he can't hurt her..." He trails off uncertainly. I look at our hands, still joined, but don't pull away. I need this comfort of knowing someone's going through similar emotions. 

"But... What if she's not okay? Soren, Cleo's been a better friend to me in these past few days of me knowing her than any of my lifelong friends back home ever were.  I can't afford to lose this friendship. And you, too, have been so nice to me, though you have absolutely no reason to trust me," my voice sounds strangled as I hold back a sob, "Why does everything good that ever happens to me never stay?" I think about the one person who I ever felt something for, before Soren, and how that ended up hurting me... 

For a long moment, Soren is silent, his eyes conflicted. Then, he reaches over and gives me a brief hug, and I lean into the comfort of it. "We'll find her," he says. Though I'm not sure who he's trying to reassure more- me or himself
