Marisa Kirisame | Touhou Project
[The video cuts onto a overly happy and smiling blonde. Who does not seem to care that her hair is a mess or the fact that the supervisor for the computer room is giving her such a glare right now.]
Guess who's back at school? Don't need ta clap or nothin', I missed bein' here so I had ta come back eventually! 'Sides, to many people ta bug and I want ta figure out more about my powers.
And ya all keep getting exciting this happenin' while I'm away. I'm stayin' put this time! Where is everyone anyways?
[Action]
[Marisa had only been here long enough to drop her bag off in her new room before she was again outside and messing with things.
So she's out by the lake, her eyes closed with something glowing softly in between her outstretched hands. Anyone who knew her well had a idea of what she was doing. Anyone else would probably go bug the blonde which she really hoped would not happen. She wanted to make this work!]

What is that there?

There Are A Few Questions In Which I Wish To Ask
First
I Wish To Inquire About What Club Activities There Currently Are
If Any
I Am Particularly Interest In A Club Dedicated To Botany
I Have Quite A Love For Plants
Although My Powers Are Not Based Upon Such Gifts
Second
If There Is Not Such A Club Preexisting Would There Be Any Interest Upon The Part Of Others To Form And Join Such A Club
In The Event There Is Not Anyone Interested
I Come To My Third Point
Would Anyone Be Interested In A Fashion Club In The Stead Of One Focused Around Botany
Perhaps Not Set Up To Discuss Fashion
But Maybe To Design Our Own Things
Or Perhaps Even Create A Zine
I Am Simply Looking For Things To Fill My Time When Im Not Busy With Homework
In The Event No One Is Interested In Either Idea I Suppose I Will Simply Have To Find Something Else To Do In Order To Occupy My Time
Something That Doesnt Include Books For A Change
「 Action 」
[So that weird pale girl that literally glows in the dark can be found sitting out in the sun by the lake. The temperature is cold enough to warrant a light coat and yet there she is in a short-sleeved shirt and long skirt. She has a blanket with her but it's clearly being used to sit on, not for warmth. Despite the cool temperature she seems perfectly at home with that thick tome in her lap.
She seems oblivious to all that goes on around her; as if completely focused upon her book. She is, in fact, completely enthralled with vampire novel she's currently devouring. And yet, the truth of the matter is quite the opposite. She's perfectly aware of everything around her. Perhaps not the sounds being made but the location of every object and body is known to her. At this very moment, if asked, she could tell you exactly where someone was.
Jumping back to calling this girl weird. Certainly everyone in the school is some kind of weird but perhaps Kanaya takes the title. It's been said she's sampled blood from other students. That she thinks herself some kind of vampire like in the books she's thoroughly obsessed with. No on can say for sure if the rumors are true but many swear they are.]

Skaar || Marvel Comics
[The video starts and there's a few muffled voices as the camera's moved about, the two voices appearing to be having a disagreement before one side clearly wins and a boy in his early teens is holding the device.
He has skin the color of slate and eyes which are black rather than white with yellowish-green irises. Looking off camera, he takes a breath then looks back.]
Um, hi...I'm Skaar.
[Action]
[Given free reign to explore, Skaar can be found wandering the halls with no clear sign of direction. He still wasn't exactly sold on the idea that this place was better for him than being with his own father, but Bruce had done nothing but sing the praises of Xavier's Institute and so he'd agreed to give it a try. He wonders what sort of people he might run into in a place like this.
Eventually, after growing tired of being inside, he'd make his way outside. Finding the openness of nature at least a bit more familiar than the corridors of the building itself, he takes a deep breath and sighs contentedly.]

Sasha Torres | Bunheads
*Sasha looks a little... different, today. Maybe she did something new with her hair? No, that isn't it. Maybe it's the rather impressive pair of wings growing out of her back.
Could the losers with the wings, and the fur, and the claws, and the scales, and the whatever other oddities growing out of them watch where they're going in the halls. It was lucky I thought 'some idiot with wings will slam through me today, I'll wear something backless' this morning or I'd have ended up topless and feathery on my way to trig. Which sucks even when I don't have wings. Why do I even need trig, it doesn't make any sense!
*And she'll turn sweet for just a moment. All fake.* Have a nice day.
------
She really wondered if the school needed so many ninjas. Okay, not that she'd admit it, but being able to scale flat walls and balance herself on the edge of the roof nobody can access except from the ground or the air is pretty cool. Still, she must have accidentally bumped into one of them this morning and now she has amazing Spider powers without the hairs on her fingertips. Or however the hell Spider-Man does his thing.
She missed Boo. She missed Ginny and Melanie fighting like an old married couple. And Roman, and kissing Roman, and getting caught kissing Roman by Michelle for the eight time and why can't she just leave well enough alone but it's okay there are usually leftovers. She missed her apartment, it was finally feeling like home and now here she was in New York learning Ballet from an overgrown moody cat and what the hell was her life now?
Still... the view wasn't too bad from up here. Her life still sucked but the view wasn't bad.

Dick Grayson | Young Justice
[The video feed clicks on, and there's a young man, possibly in his early 20s, looking directly into it. His dark hair is shaggy, but very kempt, and his smile is subtle.]
Man, you go away for only a few years, and the place changes like crazy. I don't remember nearly this many students when I was attending.
It's good. The professor's got a lot to teach; I'm glad to see he's got so much to work with.
Still, considering how much of a pain me and the rest of us were, I'm kind of whelmed at the lack of chaos going on. You guys are behaving, huh?
[Smirk.]
[Action/Prose]
There was often someone using the Danger Room. After all, it was a good place to practice... well, pretty much anything, as long as you had the clearance. So anyone viewing, either from an open door or a control room viewscreen, shouldn't be surprised to see a simulation being run.
But when that simulation is a circus? That's a little odd.
It's stranger still when the circus isn't on fire, or under attack, or anything.
It's just a circus, with a simulated crowd and ringmaster. And above it all, on the trapeze, is Dick, swinging from one to the other, performing twists, spins, flips, and all sorts of physical feats that would make all but Nightcrawler's head spin.
In a way, it's as impressive as a mock fight with the Brotherhood.
As he performs a corkscrew twist, he spins down, away from the trapeze, straight for the net below. With a strange amount of grace, he bounces against the net, and flips forward, landing on the ground in a perfect stance. His breathing is heavy, but his grin isn't tired in the least.

Chizuru Yukimura | Hakuouki
As high up as the hedge maze's green, leafy walls were, they weren't anywhere near the sky-reaching heights of the numerous Tokyo buildings. The grounds were the near-opposite of the cement jungle that was her hometown (if you could really call such a giant city a 'town'), and the openness of everything made her the opposite of claustrophobic. She felt vulnerable in the wide open layout of the school ground, and exploring these sorts of places on her own made her even more self-conscious.]

Marie | Rhythm Thief
People around would probably hear the song Marie was playing before they saw her, and she seems really intent on her playing. Almost like she was in her own little world where she could pretend she was at home.]
let's try this again C:
It's not difficult to track down the source, so when Marie finishes playing, she'll find (a quite surprised and slightly awed) Charlie standing nearby.]

Celty Sturluson | Durararararara!!
Catching it on the bottom of the hill, she turned her body this way and that to look around before stopping to brush the dust and grass off of the yellow painted shell.
That was pretty embarrassing. She hopes no one saw her. ]
Celty~
Well that explains why Sturluson never talks, thought the art teacher. Then she looked elsewhere, trying not to embarrass her too much. It was probably too late to pretend she hadn't noticed.

Jason Todd | "Red Hood" | DC Comics
He escaped.
Jason felt good about his current hiding space; a pocket of the maze with a big view of the sky. Sitting on the ground, he lazily smoked a cigarette (something he was sure wasn't allowed on campus, but what the fuck ever; he was almost 18 for gods sake and apparently, the damn things couldn't hurt him anyway). This was nice. He was dreading having to go back inside, but for now, this was better than nothing. He'd just sit here for a couple hours and do his best not to think about anything other than the clear blue sky, the gravel under his feet, and the smell of greenery all around him. ]
Re: Jason Todd | "Red Hood" | DC Comics
Still, it was a good place to go, if you needed some time to clear your head. The flowers that bloomed in some of the topiaries were calmingly fragrant, and nice to look at, to boot.
And, sometimes, one could find a good hiding spot. Though when one is already occupied, it's usually best to leave it be.]
Sorry, didn't know someone was here. [Dick raised his hands in an apologetic gesture.] Didn't mean to bother you.

Kosuzu Motoori | Touhou Project
Such a nice library! My family ran a bookstore that specialized in imports, but the selection is still nothing compared to this school. Is there a literary club around here? Please tell me there's a literary club.
[Action]
[So what do most new students do when they show up? Maybe explore the grounds or try and make friends... But instead of doing those things Kosuzu has raided the library and is now lounging in a common room. Never mind that those books seem to be in several languages, including the original French version of Le Petit Prince the young teen is currently reading. She certainly doesn't seem to.]

Death the Kid | Soul Eater
[Should you happen to be paying attention to the network, you'll notice a new, rather serious-looking face staring into the camera. The boy it belongs to seems to be wearing a rather snazzy looking suit, with not a single wrinkle in sight. However, his sharp golden eyes, palish skin, and black hair with three white stripes should stick out more than anything else.]
Good afternoon. I was told by Professor Xavier that it would be a good idea to introduce myself to both students and staff alike, so allow me to get right on that with no further interruptions. First off, my name is Death the Kid. I was sent here by my father, Lord Death, in order to attend classes and soften the relationship between Shibusen and this academy. Relations have been a bit...rough over the past couple of years, but I'm more than confident that will change soon enough.
At any rate, that is more or less the extent of my message. I would like to say, however, that while I do find this academy to be exceptional, it is severely lacking in symmetry. Why just this morning I measured the width of the hallways and found them to be one inch away from being in perfect balance! Clearly this is something that needs to be brought up to the Professor...
[He mutters for a few seconds about other things he found in the school lacking in symmetry, before finally turning off the feed after realizing it was still on. Oops...]
[Action]
[If you are looking for Kid, he's actually not very difficult to find! In fact, he'll be in just about any room in the school that he's allowed in, fixing things that are out of place and rearranging things so that they are symmetrical. Someone should...probably stop him. Or you can just popcorn.gif at the skinny kid running around and moving heavy objects, that works too.]
[action]
All she wanted to do was her homework in the common room and then this weirdo blows through and starts rearranging things all nicely.
Although this gives her an idea. A terrible one.
As quietly as she can, when he moves on to some other part of the room, she follows after him and messes it up again.
Because she can.
Deal with it.]

Oh wait, that's exactly what he's doing. He's even got a tape recorder playing that really loud and obnoxious bugle sound effect you hear in boot camp.]

Alison Blaire/Dazzler | Marvel Comics
[To those musically-inclined students, you have a new teacher! Sure, she's dressed casually with an old-school rock band t-shirt and flared jeans but damn she wears them well. She waves to the camera with a big smile.]
Hiya, kids! I'm Alison Blaire, but you can call me Miss Blaire, or Miss Ali if you prefer. The X-Gang asked me to come aboard because I heard a lot of you were into music but had no real direction. Well guess what? I'm changing all of that.
[Just watch her sparkle with joy. Literally. She's like a disco ball.]
You kids better pull out your instruments and vinyl because we're gonna GO FOR IT.

[Alison's no stranger to the mansion. She's been here on occasion, so she knows her way around for the most part. The music room was kind of new since it was renovated since the last time she was here. She puts down her bags and immediately begins to set up one of her turntables. Within minutes, she puts a record in and starts playing Donna Summer's "I Feel Love". As classic disco fills the room, Ali sings along, her powers awakening as a warm, colorful glow.]

[Sanae was sitting outside in one of the more open areas, in a kneeling position on the grass. She seemed to be mouthing words but they couldn't be heard unless you were really near her. Her eyes were closed so she wasn't paying any attention to things around her, and was entirely focused on what she was doing.]
--
[Network/Video]
[The feed opened on Sanae in her dorm room, alone.] Ah... I was wondering if anyone had any spare materials that could be used to build a small shrine somewhere outside. It's customary for me to pray to the gods that I worship daily, so it would be much easier if there were something like what I had back in my shrine to do so. It doesn't have to be very big, just something that can remind me of home. If... if anyone's interested, please let me know!

Honestly, I thought this place would be more exciting.

Ashley / WarioWare
__________
The rumors had started about two weeks ago: after sundown but before curfew, a strange shadowy creature could be seen—but never heard—lurking within the hedge maze.
While it had the look of a fantasy novel monster each and every time, it was never the same creature twice according to the students who claimed to have seen it. While the younger and easily-frightened never drew close enough to find out for certain what it was, the older and more-daring would approach the creature only to watch it vanish immediately, leaving behind not a single trace of its existence.
Those who were savvy enough, however, were quick to realize that the cause of the hedge maze monsters was likely one of the newer students, possibly seeking to practice with his or her power without other people nearby to serve as a distraction. Or, perhaps, they wanted to be alone and were using their power in an effort to intimidate others into staying away.
Action
He had gotten lost in the hedge maze somewhere around 11 AM and had remained lost throughout the day. Long since having given up any hope of being rescued, the tired custodian feebly walked aimlessly for hours.
That is, of course, until he turned a corner and practically bumped right into tonight's fantasy novel monster.
His scream is surprisingly high-pitched for such a tall guy.

This is Yasu- er... This is Mr. Hagakure, the school custodian, speaking.

Please send help! I don't want to die out here!

[ The 'again' does not escape him. Neither do the dramatics, of course, but that sort of thing is just what people do anyway. Maybe someone should talk to this man about custodial duties of the hedge maze being able to wait until he knows it better, or something of that nature.
But then again, who is he to judge? Those things are designed to confuse the people going through them. ]
