...well, so much for the idea to make it illustrated. I simply don't have the time and can't meet my own expectations, so let's just start without it. I might employ illustrations to provide overviews of characters and places, perhaps make some icons too - later. Maybe.
Anyway, as I already hinted, admission was a serious problem. In the end, I chose to expand to four slots to accomodate everyone that really struck my fancy. PowderMiner, flyingdice, Harry Baldman, Wwolin - you are aboard. Everyone else - sorry. It's not that you were bad, it's that the others were even better. As some sort of compensation, your characters will become NPCs of sort, filling up the class room. So if you're currently where the protagonists are - feel free to PM me an action. If you're interested in that. It's wholly optional.

Aah! Friday. The most noble day of the week. An ancient sage once quipped that it was the best day for getting down - and only one day left to the sweet release of weekend! But before that, the teachers have apparently resolved to cram Friday as full of subjects as possible. Six periods, one straight after the other - quite the high number when compared to other days. The class 11-A, attended by Ezra Amos, Harlowe Duncan, Jocasta McBride, Wilton Lowery and eleven other students, has the following time table today:
Chemistry
Mathematics
Mathematics
English
Lunch Break
History
Geography
Today, English - Mr. Edmond's class - is getting dropped in favor of the orientation class. You still have a bit of time to get your things in order before you have to go to school - far less time than usual, the tram broke down and the mechanics already are busy fixing up some old armored exploration vehicles - but that shouldn't be a problem, it's really not that far.
~For now, every period and lunch break is roughly one turn on its own.~
