I would, but ew, anime.

You're watching the wrong anime.
Recent evidence puts me at about fifty/fifty.

Also, it's going to be a nightmare picking three sheets out of this... there's already five sheets I really like so this is gonna be painful. Signups close tomorrow.
Ah, maybe I will just watch, then.

...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.~

Friday. The day when the tension building up throughout the school week culminates for most. Not really relevant to Jocasta, though her classmates would probably be more antsy than usual today. Something to keep in mind, she thinks as she brushes her teeth, keeping eye contact with her reflection. After she's done, she practices her smile a few times.

She'd say she's slowly getting the hang of it. Not quite perfect, but good enough from a distance.

Make my way to the school after going through morning routine. If I have some time at home before needing to leave, make sure I am ready for every lesson, particularly Chemistry.

Alright, Ezra thought, Friday! Ezra liked Friday. It's not that the teenager didn't like school- he really did. But he liked what he could do on the weekends. First things first, though, getting to school– because school on Friday is still school.

Ezra slammed through his morning things without anything in the way of rest or pleasantries, with a single exception. As his father left for work, Ezra hugged him warmly. Then he finished getting ready, ran up and scooped his pack off of his floor, heading to school as early as he could.

Ezra tries to get to school punctually.

The first thought that crossed Harlowe's mind--wait, never mind. Make that the second thought, and remarkably enough a less satisfying one. Yes, the second thought that crossed Harlowe's mind after waking was the realization that, with the tram broken down after some unspecified accident, the rest of the class would probably be whining about having to walk to school. He sped through his quick morning checklist powered by that rather gleeful idea. It was a literal checklist, if not a material one.

Shower... ✓!
Get dressed... ✓!
Brush teeth... eh, yeah, call it a ✓.
Breakfast...


"See ya, sis!"

Ambling out the door, toast hanging from his mouth, Harlowe absentmindedly shoulders his satchel. Never could stand backpacks, the way they confine your shoulders like that, restricting your freedom of movement. It wasn't great, exactly, but it was leather and had lasted through the Fall. More importantly, it was his. Head to school at a leisurely pace. Keep an eye out for anything distracting interesting.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*
Wilton means to raise his arm to turn his alarm clock off, but he just can't muster up the energy to do so this early in the morning. Putting his pillow over his ears to muffle the noise, he manages to get in a few extra minutes of sleep before the savory smell of coffee from upstairs wafts into his room and jolts him awake.

Urgh... Why do I even bother setting that damn clock anymore if the coffee's the only thing that can wake me up? Speaking of which... Oh shit, I'm gonna be late!

Wilton dashes upstairs and pours himself a cup of steaming hot coffee, leaving the mug on the counter-top to cool down to drinkable temperature while he takes what might just be the fastest shower that he's ever taken. Not even bothering to fully dry off afterwards, he puts on a black T-shirt and a pair of brown cargo shorts before slinging his heavy bookbag over his shoulders, grabbing his mug from the counter, and flying out the door towards school. Just as the building comes into sight however, Wilton realizes something which makes his blood run cold.

Oh man, I left the trombone at home! And just when I thought that I was gonna somehow be on time toda- Wait a sec. Today's Friday, so there's no band practice! Still, that was a damned close call... I'd better remember to ask Clarissa to start putting the coffee on earlier from now on.

Wilton celebrates his miraculously timely arrival by taking a deep swig of what coffee he didn't spill while running, before continuing towards school at a leisurely pace.

Intended to update today. Didn't, but I got a whole lot of systems done, so updating tomorrow should be no problem at all.

Still need to stat your character sheets and then we're good to go.

/e: LESSGO THEN. Please remain patient for the actual turn, which will be posted separately. For now I just want to get this out there.




Spoiler: Wilton Lowery (Wwolin) (click to show/hide)



Spoiler: And Grade Tendencies? (click to show/hide)


Turn proper incoming! Maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

/e: Sorry for the borked table tags, but BBCode seems to be quite unwilling to accept my fix attempts. Be sure to voice any objections to the sheets.

I fixed those table tags up for you.

((According to his sheet, Harlowe shed his clothes somewhere on the way to school and is now attending in the nude.  :P))

Thanks, Wwolin, but BBcode remains stubborn for some unfathomable reason when I try to edit the post. Eh, whatever. Also gave Harlowe his clothes back.
