(Ugh, fine king of this rp, I'll scratch it, but she still has ADHD soley because it gives me a reason to cut her sentences off with random stuff. Ps, since Blaze made room in the carriage, Ariana is riding on top merely because she finds it fun)

'Hmm, that girl is quite an ass. I hope she's going to be shown up by some of the "riffraff" she despises so' She thought to herself, glaring at Alfimi for half-a-second before going back to her old chipper self "Hey, hey don't be such a meanie! Here, pet the squirrel" she said, holding the squirrel out for Alfimi to pet. Of course even the squirrel didn't like her as it proceeded to bite her nose then jump out the window "Bye squirrly!" Ariana smiled as it left...

~Tyson~

Tyson looked at Shana and gave a soft smile. "Yeah it's nice the weather varies and a lot of the people are okay there," Tyson said, "What about where you're from?"

~Eddie~

"Yo driver when we gettin' where we goin'!" Eddie shouted

Do you want to here even more instruction?
Alfimi shrieked as the squirrel, causing several riders to laugh. She merely fumed at her embarassment.

After thirty minutes, the sound of rain ceased, and the carraige stopped. A series of noises was heard as Ariana was dragged from the roof. The door was then opened by a well groomed man. He was dressed in steel plate with a sword by his right leg. "Everybody out." He said, smiling at the passengers.

Despite being soaked, Ariana just stood there laughing "I would've brought an umbrella if I knew it was gonna rain!"...

~Shana~

"U-um... I'm from Lumieux." Shana wondered if she was going to be instantly be mocked. It was a very business oriented land, focusing on the marketplace.

~Tyson~

"My family sends some produce there that's really cool. As dumb as it sounds we have a bakery and we send some ready to make loaves there for shipping to other places," Tyson said before getting out of the carriage like ordered, "Let's see what happens next then."

~Eddie~

Eddie jumped out of the carriage and quickly pushed his way to the front of the group to look at whoever was greeting them. Eddie's eyes looked at the man in wonder and the boy had to contain himself frome xploding with excitement

~Shana~

"I wonder if it's your bread I get every day then... it sounds fun." Shana commented as she sighed with relief, grateful that he wasn't vicious. She hopped off the carriage herself.

~Thomas~

Thomas got out, trying to stay out of sight at the back of the group. He looked around. They were in a torchlit tunnel, far from the exit to the outside world. There were only two other carriages, and none of them had the full dozen occupants that could be held. There aren't a lot of people... He thought, looking around. Despite this, he was in the vast minority, being practically in rags.

~Alfimi~

Alfimi snorted. "Surely there are more people of my stature... Oh my! That's my cousin!" She waved at a young boy from another carriage, but the boy didn't see. "Oh, bother with it all..." She muttered. "At least there are some people from the palace... Oh, there's the chancellor's daughter..."

She was in awe.

"Alright, everyone! Follow me!" The knight said. "And you stay in line." He said to Ariana. He led them all to a large and ornate door, which he knocked on three times. "This is Derrick. I have the new students here." He said politely.

He then turned to the youth. "It is good to finally meet you all." He said. "I am Lord Derrick Straught, Knight Instructor and head of the first year students here at Ariavinta. "I trust you all had a safe journey." He said with a warming smile. "I trust you will all find welcome respite within these halls. In a few moments, we will enter the academy, and you will each be assigned bunkmates before we sit down to supper."

As he finished speaking, the large door was opened, and another man was to be seen, holding a scroll of parchment.

"Follow me." Derrick said to the group. He led them in. "Sir Redwing." He said with a polite nod to the man with the scroll.

There was murmuring among the children. Sir Redwing was known as the greatest knight of the past century, and he was standing there to greet them.

"Sir Straught." Redwing said. "You may go."

"Thank you, M'lord." Derrick said, going through another door.

"Now then." Redwing said sternly. "Bunk assignments for first year are as follows:

"Thomas Greene and Edward Reldaro...

"Shana Rose and Alfimi Deick..."

Tyson and Ariana were both assigned hithero unmentioned bunkmates. Several minutes passes and all the students were paired up.

~Eddie~

"Yo Thomas my man!" Eddie said running up to his bunkmate, "I knew fromt he moment that we first met in that carriage that we'd be great pals, now we're roommates. And you can relax I don't think you're dirt or anything like that one chick from the carriage you're who you are. Can you believe that we got to see Sir Redwing already I'm so pumped!"

~Tyson~

Tyson met with his roommate hearby named Jeff. They exchanged words and didn't say much to each other. Tyson looked around at the rest of the people. "I hope this isn't a waste of time..."

~Shana~

'Oh no...' Shana thought as she glanced over to her bunk mate. 'She seems so mean... how am I going to get along with her?'

(That would be the point of them being left unsaid, dude.)

~Thomas~

Thomas looked at Eddie and groaned. Do we have to have bunkmates? He thought, stepping away from Eddie and knocking into Shana.

"Agh!" He exclaimed. This may have been a shock to everyone around, as it was the first sound he'd made since he got onto the carriage.

~Alfimi~

Well, at least my bunkmate seems to have some culture... But she's probably no different then the trash. Just another traitor. She thought with a huff.

~Shana~

"Ah!!" She felt a rough bump into her, causing her to fall back onto her bottom. She began to bow her head constantly, not knowing who at all bumped into her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She apologized quickly.

~~

At this point, the youths were ushered into a large hall with seven tables. All but one were full of students, the oldest of which were almost in their twenties, and the youngest only a year older then the new entrants. All the students were seated at the table furthest from the entrance. In the center of the room, Derrick could be seen, watching over the room, with particular attention placed on the tables closer to the first years, where the younger students were.

~Tyson~

Tyson was one of the first ones to sit down not be particular about sitting next to anyone in particular. 'What now he wondered?'

~Eddie~

Eddie stuk by Thomas looking at all of the other students in awe. "Look at all the kids here roomie I bet their all so much stronger than us."

~Thomas~

When he heard Shana's apologies, Thomas scattered, until he ran back into Eddie.

"Mgn..." He groaned, hearing his bunkmate. Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone... He thought, stepping away from him as well. He found his way to the table, sitting in a seat near the end, and scooting as far down as he could, trying to avoid all his classmates.

~Alfimi~

"Hmph! You peasants sit no less than three seats from me!" Alfimi said haughtily, taking her seat at the center of the table. "... Where is the food? All I see are these peasants' scraps! I demand you bring out my food now!" She huffed, looking at the food.

~Shana~

The girl only remained silent as she heard the other scream and whine over the food. 'I cannot believe her... she seems so rude. Hasn't her father taught her manners?' She cocked her head, glancing at Alfimi.

Just to piss her off, Ariana whacked Alfimi on the head and sat next to her, then started ranting about how bunnies were the cutest animals ever and how being a peasant wasn't all that bad and blah, blah, blah...

~Tyson~

Tyson kept to himself socializing very little as he grabbed some of the 'scraps'. He waited for whatever was going to happen to happen. There was bound to be some speech, some test, something, there was always something, or this was already to easy

~Eddie~

Eddie began to talk with everyone around him and eat as much of the food as he could get his hands on

(Okay, I just made a maaaaaaaaaajor revision to Ariana's weaponry which I think goes better her true personality. I am just gonna put it here instead of editing her profile. And before you tell me it's unrealistic... this is fiction, shut the hell up and deal with it. I know it's a little out of the "within reason" rule, but I really want her to have weapons that match her personality. Okay. Her normal weapons are a set of 7 swords. One long sword, sheathed on her left side. One straight sword, sheathed on her back, tilted to the right. Two katanas, sheathed horizontally on the back of her waist. One short sword, sheathed on her right side. And two daggers, one sheathed on the side of each shin. However, those are merely ruses designed to trick her opponents into thinking she has only short-range weapons. Her true weapons lie in a vest she wears under her shirt, which is completely covered in throwable weapons, including but not limited to, 8 push daggers with a hole for spinning on a finger, several shuriken and kunai, two trench knives, butterfly knives, and two 6" long tantos. She also wears 2 gauntlets nearly-identical to Suzumebachi from Bleach (Ask Google) except the gold trim is blue. Also the actual gauntlets completely cover the forearms. The spiked finger guards can be removed and hidden on the gauntlets due to the chain, thereby allowing her to wear them and not hurt anyone. She is talented in all these weapons despite her age because, as an orphan peasant, she has had to fend for herself for her whole life. Okay, I'm done)

(Blaze here: Let me point out everything wrong with your new choice. First off, people coming to this school may have been poor, but due to the fact that they were promising, not incredible weapon skill. In fact, with exception to small amounts of archery training in the Aristocracy and Royal family group due to going on fox hunts, nobody should know how to use any weapons. As a matter of fact, due to your character's ADD, it wouldn't make sense that they would be able to learn more than one weapon to begin with. Not that this matters much since NOBODY coming into the school has anything more than the clothes they came there in, and they're soon to be changed into the uniform of the school. Also, there's no way in hell a twelve year old would be able to carry all of that stuff. This is unrealistic, not only in the real world, but in THE SCOPE OF THE BLOODY RP. Shut the hell up and deal with it. This is a world of fiction, yes, but I'm leaning on the bankings of reality in this case. And a side note, I am trying very despirately to keep away from eastern weapons in a western setting. I'm not going to complain about it, but I'm not going to use them myself. The school will provide every character with their weapons, and will not give anyone a ton of weapons. If you want to have something fitting to her personality, have her sporiadically change weapons, but don't expect her to get very good with any of them.)

~Alfimi~

"Why you... You... RAGH! MISTER DERRICK! REMOVE THIS PEASANT FROM MY SIGHT!" She demanded. Derrick looked over, but didn't do anything.

~Thomas~

Wow... This food... I've never had anything like it... I only saw this stuff through the windows of the rich... How can she complain about it? He thought, looking around nervously. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to eat it or not. What if I get in trouble... I can't be allowed to eat this, can I? He thought, staring at his empty plate.
