"FOR NARNIA AND THE NORTH!" A girl shouts. I step away from her. I'm glad to be going to Narnia first, though. I follow the rest of Cabriole as we rush through toward our destination.

Sorry, it's short. Here's Vera:

Floating on the breezeHey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. Also, Rosey, thanks! I really love using that creator 😀
Jela~
As soon as Sasha finished speaking there was a surge of activity as students rushed to their various groups. Jela was caught along in the undercurrent of motion and had to struggle to make her way towards Build. When she reached them, the air was filled with the buzz of conversation. "We could…." "No, but what if….." "If we timed it right…..". A tall girl with long, wavy red hair and bright green eyes (side charrie) raises her hand into the air, cutting through the noise instantly. "Ok, everyone. Listen up. I don't know any of you, but we all got the same letter, which leads me to conclude that we're all somehow similar. Now, if you're like me, you'll be wanting to plan this out. So…. ideas?" Several people shot off ideas, and Jela steeled herself. It was now or never. She stepped forwards. "I…… I can get us through the maze." The conversation halted, and Jela felt all eyes turn towards her. She gulped. Then, to her surprise, the girl nodded. "Ok. Anybody want to go with?" Jela was stunned. She had been expecting a million questions about how or why she would be able to do this, but the girl had simply accepted it and moved on without question. This group held many secrets, and everyone knew it because everyone else held them too.
A boy with messy brown hair stepped forwards. "I'll go with her. I think I spotted the maze on top of a building somewhere." The girl nodded. "Anyone else?" Another girl, her hair pulled up into a braid, walked up and stood next to the boy. "I'll come." The girl who seemed to be in charge nodded. "Good. Go." Without another word, Jela and her new teammates rushed off towards the stone token.
By the time they reached the top of the building, Jela was panting. They had had to go up several flights of stairs, and her thighs and calves were burning from the exertion. The girl strode up to the door of the maze and paused, turning to Jela and the boy. "I'm Zan, by the way." The boy raised his hand in greeting. "Caden." They both turned to Jela, staring at her expectantly. She panted out, "Jela. Nice to meet you." Zan turned away and gripped the door handle. "So, you can get us through this thing?" Jela nodded and went to stand beside her. "I hope so." Zan nodded, and for a moment, Jela could have sworn her eyes gave a brief flicker. "I could get us through this thing if only there was light." Caden gave her an odd look. "I'm sure we all could." Zan ignored him and turned the door handle.
As promised, the maze was pitch black. Jela reached her hand out to touch the wall, trying to gather herself before the door closed, plunging them into darkness. Caden's voice came through the stillness. "Ok, now what." Jela inhaled deeply, before placing her hands in front of her face. "You're going to think this is weird. Just…… trust me." Inhaling deeply, she brought her hands apart, then thrust them together with a loud slap. Instantly, the sound waves spread out from her. She closed her eyes, despite the fact that having them open made no distance in the dark, and mentally activated the part of her that could hear….. everything.
She listened to the sound waves as they bounced off walls, echoed off corners. She followed them to the center, where they pinged off of something hard and small. The token. Her eyes snapped open, and she grinned in the darkness. "Ok guys. First, we're going to need to turn right."

Sorry for the rather lackluster quality, but it's late at the time I'm actually writing this, and I need to be in bed. Hope I didn't control anybody too much! (Really sorry if I did)
Luna says "ricu". That's a special type of clay that we use in pottery, and that only gets fired twice a year. I made a soap dish out of it once. (Actually, it's called raku, pronounced Ra-coo, but close enough.)
*No, actually. I said rice u. Because you should eat rice sometime.*
Oooooookkkkkk……..

Muggle Tech ClassKyra~These kids are mega-fandomy, I think happily, sort of zoning out as a tall girl takes control of the Cabriole group."For Narnia and the North!" a girl screams, and Cabriole charges torwards Sasha's building. I run after them, but, clumsy as always, I bump into a girl with brown hair. She pokes me, but I take it to be a friendly "watch out" rather than "back off, freak"."Hi, I'm Kyra," I say."Vera, good to meet you.""Why aren't they strategizng?" I ask her. "Are we just going to charge off without any sort of plan?""I guess so. Have you got any better ideas?""Well, we should probably find out what the other groups are doing, I guess,""How?" she asks."None of them know us, so we could sneak into their groups. Maybe they wouldn't notice us.""I dunno, those Build kids look clever, like they remember faces and would recognize us," Vera worries."Risk is part of the game. I'll take Build, and you could take Aim, if you want.""Are we just spying, shouldn't we try to mess them up, as well?""Good idea. Try to get an important part in their plan without breaking your cover, and then mess up big time."Vera, jogs torwards the Aim group, but calls over her shoulder, "Do't forget to keep them away from Cabriole!"I give her a thumbs up, then find my way to the edge of the Build crowd. -

HogwartsI'm going to be at sleep away camp from Sunday until next Saturday. I'm not gonna put this anywhere else, since this is the only RP I'm in, but I just wanted say that. In case anyone needed to know why I wasn't posting. -
Rose budParticipantSorry, I'm on vacation my posts will be short.
Winston~
Honestly, the teachers enjoy this more than the kids. As soon as everyone splits up to strategize, we get to work. I see Adrian flick the switch on the fountain, which immediately starts spurting lava, as I run to my building to monitering the desert. Clunking down the stairs to the basement, I flick on blazing hot lights as I go. In the hidden control room, I boot up the cameras in order to see the desert spread out just one wall (and a secreted door that only I know about) away from the little control room. Next, I reach for the headset lying on the desk in front of my chair. Usually, I rely on my perfect accuracy to send paper airplane messages around campus , but I do use the headset during elemental quest. After all, there are no windows in the elemental sites geniously designed by Adrian.
"Winston, are you present?" Lizzy's voice crackles in my headset.
"Yup. I move fast."
"Aim is journeying your direction with a few Cabriole students in toe. The remaining Cabriole students found the secret passage with stunning speed," she continued with obviously pride, "Drew had a talent for riddles. She assumed I would use the cliche sliding bookshelf gimick, and swiftly concluded that The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe would be the trigger-" Her voice broke off into static. As usual, Lizzy's talkativeness was too much for the poor headsets.
"We will claim victory this time, just wait!" She ends.
"Oh yeah? Aim has a knack for surviving sandstorms," I retort. Lizzy draws breath for a counter, but is cut off by Sasha.
"Build has their first token," I hear a rare smile in her voice, "better get the dustpans out, kitchen duty is coming your way!

Rose budParticipantSorry about typos. I was on my phone.

LeeliParticipantVera~
What am I doing? I try to reassure myself that no one here knows me, and that they'll think I'm part of their group no matter what. I take a deep breath.
"What about we take Narnia first?" A boy (side charrie) with dark brown hair and blue eyes suggests.
"No, we shouldn't." I say too quickly. All eyes turn to me.
"Why not?" A girl asks skeptically.
"Um, because, that's too easy for Aim. Everyone will want to go there first. Let's start with desert."
"I guess so. After all, does it really matter what we start with as long as we win?" The boy says.
"Of course not. We're gonna win! Go Aim!" Somone shouts.
Sure…I think to myself. You just keep on believing that lie.
As Aim moves toward desert, I wonder how Kyra is doing in build.

I hope I didn't control Aim too much!

Rose budParticipantI'm so sorry for not posting! We got back from Florida yesterday but zoomed off to orientation today. I'm going to post soon, whenever I get access to a computer.
So, here's a little plot summary of the present adventure.
Cabriole is in the Snow Elemental site, located in the basement of the Build and Cabriole building, and accessed through the library.
Build (+ a couple Cabriole students) got their first token in the maze on top of the Build/Cabriole building
Aim (+ a couple Cabriole students) are in the Sand Elemental Site, located in the basement of the Aim building.
Forest and Fire sites are still unexplored. Remember, this game is dangerous, but for the reason to really bring out powers. Crazy situations are expected. The Elemental Sites were designed by Adrian. Expect the unexpected. Anything is possible. Just…try not to kill or maim each other if you want cupcakes. The teachers will also TRY not to kill you, because they want cupcakes. Unless Adrian poisoned them.
I'm really enjoying reading everyone's posts! Love the writing styles!!

Rose bud ParticipantSasha~
The game preforms just as Adrian designed it. From the master controls on the computers in my office, I have video feeds from all the sectors, except for the maze, which pops up on my computer screen as a map with little dots on it representing the students. Everywhere, I see the students exploring their powers and learning how to work together. Build learns about leadership as Jela successfully guides them through the maze and to their first token. Aim learns about teamwork as everyone fights over which direction to head into the basement desert. Cabriole learns not to be shy about their talents, as the team is stumped by the hidden entrance to the Snow Elemental Site until unsocial Drew finally steps up. Everything is going perfectly…
until it all comes crashing down.
"Sasha! Something is…immensely erroneous…videos out…controls…are you?…Sasha! The students!" Lizzy's voice fades into static. What could she possibly….? My heart begins to pound as I hurriedly click on the Snow Elemental Site's square of video feed with shaking fingers. All I can see is a wall of white, and the only sound is a long, drowning, roar. From my headpiece, Lizzy's frantic voice fights for control over the static. It takes me a second to realize she is no longer speaking in English.
"Adrian!" I scream into the mic as soon as Lizzy's voice fades again, "are you hearing this? Why is it malfunctioning? You garunteed safety. Fix it!"
"Can't hear you…hacked into system…controls going ballistic…working on it…danger…" And then even Adrian's forcefully calm voice is submerged in static. Suddenly, a flash from the computer screen catches my attention. One by one, the videos blink out. Warning messages flash across the screen before it blinks out into black.
A wave of panic surges over me. The computer and desk blurr before my eyes and my chest tightens until I can hardly breathe. Horrible images fill my head. Adrian's genious had harnessed nature with electronics. But if the system broke and the full force of nature was unleashed…
"Adrian? Lizzy? Winston? Anyone there? Can anyone hear me?" Static. I betrayed the students. I hurt them like HE had. What if someone died? All it takes was one electric shock traveling trough the malfunctioning controls of a system…no. No.
I can't breathe. I feel as if I'm ripping apart from the inside out. Betrayed…betrayed…hurt…wrong…all wrong… And then my eyesight sharpens. I feel an all-too-familiar strain behind my eyes that lasts only a milisecond, and suddenly, my brain automatically begins to analyze the computer. I can picture it's back and sides, judge how large the screen is, like an 3D blueprint just popped up in my head.
And then the feeling is gone, leaving me with a slight headache. I collapse onto my desk; head in my hands. Time stops. The world is suspended around me.
Winston's voice brings me back to reality as it emerges from the fading static.
"Well…that was weird."
It certainly was. I hadn't had a panic attack like that in years. And I certainly had not been able to access my power in the same ammount of time.
~
So I was thinking an old enemy hacked into the computer system, maybe stealing the videos of the students using their powers and causing the controls to malfunction as a distraction. Y'all can post your own interpretations of what happens. Basically, I guess the weather systems go ballistic.

Floating on the breezeHey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in forever; I'm still getting used to this whole "We're starting school again" thing XD
Jela~
As Jela's team turned the last corner and entered the center of the maze, Jela allowed herself a small smile of triumph. They had done it. She had done it. And for once in her life, the thing that made her different and strange made her special and needed.
Zan's voice snapped her back into focus. "Are we here yet?" Jela nodded. Then, realizing that of course, they couldn't see that because it was pitch black, she whispered "Yes" into the darkness. That one sound echoed around the room, bouncing off the objects that filled it and giving her a detailed picture of everything inside. The center of the maze was round and smooth, and a stone pedestal sat in the center. Smiling she strode forwards, and was about to wrap her fingers around the stone when a faint rumbling sound stopped her in her traps. She honed in on it, not realizing what it was until she heard the tiniest of sounds…… something scraping softly against the ground.
The walls were closing in.
Jela gave out a soft cry of disbelief before yelling at the other two to run. She closed her fingers around a hard, round object, shoved it in her pocket, and ran after them. She heard Caden's voice echoing off the walls several yards away. "Which way?" Jela focused for a minute, trying to create a picture of the entire maze in her head before yelling "Left!" She continued to yell out instructions from behind, trying as hard as her tired feet would allow to catch up to the other two, but their voices slowly seemed to fade away….. she knew it wasn't their fault. Waiting for her would mean that they all got killed, and it wouldn't do her any good.
The hallways began to get smaller, and Jela felt her heart stutter in her chest. She had always been incredibly claustrophobic, hating the way that any little sound bounced off the walls, making her feel trapped. This was like a nightmare come true. There was nothing she could do but run. She only hoped the others made it out of this crazy place.
And then, the footsteps ahead of her stopped, and two words rang out through the maze that filled her with dread.
"It's locked."
Her heart seemed to stop in her chest. They were doomed. She slowed to a stop just as she reached the entrance, and the sounds echoing off the walls showed her that the entrance was just a bit bigger than the rest of the maze. Well, at least we'll have a few extra seconds to be terrified before we're killed. How nice.
Caden pounded his fist on the door in frustration, and Jela sunk into a heap on the floor. The ceiling had begun to close in on the door's lock, and soon their only hope of freedom would be gone. Caden took a deep breath as if to calm himself before saying, "I can make a key. I need something about the size of a baseball." Without hesitation, Jela reached into her pocket and pulled out the token. "We can use this. Also, how-" Caden didn't let her finish, instead choosing to grab the token and his hands and do something- Jela wasn't sure what – to it. Then, the walls were all Jela could pay attention to. They were mere inches away from Jela's feet. Jela's head began to swim, and she had the vague thought that they were probably running out of oxygen in here.
Then, Caden let out a cry and the door swung open into the blinding sun.

Sorry if that was rushed and rather lackluster, but I've been working on it over a day or two and have somewhere to be right now so yeah. Live, rp! Live!
