Guana couldn't get over the shock. After it had been explained that she might go to war and that she was a sorceress, she had been escorted to her dorm which she shared with two other people. All she wanted to do was go to sleep but she had been given too much to think about. "Hey, what's your name?" Guana asked a girl sitting (and looking very shaken) on the bed next to her.

Spook looked at the girl who had just entered. She hadn't been rooming with anyone in ages. This was a surprise. Her last roomate had been killed in one of the small raids on Warring High. Spook herself had been out at the time, practising her magic, practising turning into the demon, Kaelos.
At the question, she simply replied:
"Spook. Who are you?"

*Harmonixing information:
The Harmonixer is a master of fusion.
The Harmonixer, after defeating a demon and bringing it into submission, can fuse with its soul and acquire its powers. This ability is passed on by blood.
The Harmonixer does pay a price for this power. Escape in pleasant dreams is impossible; the Harmonixer's subconsciousness is a graveyard, where guilt, doubt, and carnal emotions take up permanent residence in tangible forms. The souls of defeated demons and monsters remain here, and their hatred and malice for their killer drags the Harmonixer's soul down into self-destruction and darkness.
Four masks guard the graveyard, each representing an aspect of the Harmonixer's inner self: Greed, Fury, Envy and Lust.*

"Guana. I just came- I mean... I just discovered that I have to fight a war! Don't you think that that's just ridiculous! I mean, I mean... we're just kids! I mean..." Guana fiddled with her hair. She sighed, "Why us?" She thought she was being uncomfortably open but she couldn't help it- she felt insecure and she needed to trust people when Guana felt as such.

Spook closed her eyes. She had asked the very same question when she came to WH. She opened them again, and looked at this 'Guana' person, green eyes calmly gazing at the other girl.
"Because we're special. We are needed in the war." She replied quietly. She knew this very well. That was the reply she got to the question every time she asked it.
"What is your power?"

"Power? What powers? If you mean what I did in the fight with those stones, I stopped them before they hit me then I got um... energised. It felt good to fight. Anyway, what do you mean special? Do you have a power? What is this place? What are we if we're so special? Can't I just refuse to fight? Please... I need to know!" Guana knew she sounded almost desperate but she was beggining to panic. Her hands were shaking. "Father above, give me strength!" she murmured under her breath.

Name:Narumi.

The other girl looked up from her book,she looked about seven, had light blue almost white hair,pale skin and wore glasses over 1 red eye and 1 green, ‘If you’re here,you have to have powers,otherwise you’d be seriously injured or dead.Here is Warring High even I,who’ve live here for all my life don’t know exactly why I’m here,what Warring High is and what the battles about.But we’re all here because our powers can be helpful in the war.But some of our powers are untrained and some are to strong so we're trained and measures are taken to stop them causing havoc,that’s why I wear glasses.’ She said, ‘Although it may help with the war I disapprove of new students it’s because of them I had to move in with you and the other one.’

Guana jumped. She hadn't noticed the girl with the glasses. She thought that this girl looked a bit young to have been there long. "Who're you? Why do you need to wear glasses to stop havoc? I'm sorry that you disapprove but, honestly, I didn't have a choice but to come here. Also, how can I have powers?"

*By the way, they're all sorceresses and sorceresses are a different species to human though human in appearance. They're creatures of light and are far more intelligent than humans except when they're confused. They may be creatures of light but that onlu means that they can (if they learn to) absorb light as energy. Guana can convert that energy for other uses. For the purpose of a hard army training camp, they can perform physical feats that would absolutely faze a human.*

Before Guana could get an answer, a woman stuck her head actually through the wall about a metre away from the wall. Guana bit her tongue trying not to scream. "OK, chat-time's over. Everyone to bed now. We wake up to somew refreshing star-jumps in the morning!"

*If anyone wants to join this RP, they can. The next post must continue in the morning.*

Guana groaned and, without changing into her pyjamas, her head hit the pillow and she slept.

A loud banging erupted on the door. Guana woke with a start. "5 o'clock! Everyone up! 50 press-ups an' 20 back-flips! Come on lazy little toerags! Jump start the mornin'!"
The voice sounded like it came from a tanoy playing inside her head. "Wha'?" Guana asked turning to the girl next to her. It was still dark but she could see the rough outline of her roomates.
"5 o'clock! We have to do exercises at this unearthly hour?" Guana groaned. "Man! I can't do back-flips..."

Her roomate looked up "you have to do it,you have to learn how or try to,I have no trouble after all I've been brought up like this.I suppose it's different for others.You'll have to get used to hard work,working with your power is harder than anything most people have done before"The girl said.
She then silenced and got on with the required task.

Grumbling, Guana threw off the covers. Jumping to her feet she asked, "And there's no safety measures for newbies? Bummer!" Performing a great amount of press-ups came naturally to her broad shoulders but the back-flips posed more of a problem. "Ahh!" she screamed on her fifth attempt, breaking a lamp. "This is stupid. Look, I'm cut. They won't know if I can't do it." Just then a ringing voice cried out, "Guana is to be reminded that no one is an exception to the rules. And Derra will stop chewing gum or suffer the consequences! Narumi... You know what you've forgotten to do. Don't you?"
Guana wondered who Derra and Narumi was. Then she realised that the voice had mentioned her. Guana's eyes began scanning the room for cameras- she doubted it was only God's eye watching her.

'damn,she noticed'came a voice from the girl who was now making her bed.

"Everyone is reminded that they mustn't swear." boomed the voice. Guana was losing her patience.
"Can you help me?" she asked the girl she supposed was Narumi. "I don't know how to perform a back-flip. I don't get how they can expect everyone to do it automatically anyway. It's-" Suddenly a siren called loudly. The voice shrieked, "Drop everything! Report to the hall, NOW!!! Go, go, go!"
"Wha-?" Guana didn't understand the urgency but it must be big for the 'voice' to want them to forget doing morning exercises. Quickly, she stuffed a sweater on, flew the door open and rushed out, immediately realising she had no clue where the gym was. Alot of people were running about in different directions, which didn't help. She stuck her head back in the room, "Guys, where's the gym and why do we need to go there?"

*Just make up some reason.*

Narumi sighed and started getting dressed and just as Guana was sure the voice was going to say something Narumi got up and walked towards the door "It's probaly another newbies power going out of control,this happened last time,they use it for an example and to explain some of the teachings to other newbies,then they test evryones power."She looked up to Guana's shocked expression and shrugged "don't worry it's only the usual,for here at least."then she proceeded slowly in the opposite direction everyone else was going.

Name: Deidara
Talents/Abilities: Can manipulate,create/destroy and mould any bone in her body at will.
Personality:Fairly calm about almost any situation,no matter what is happening. Not too talkative. Personality sometimes changes dramatically,instantly. Very strong Wiccan beliefs.
Dislikes:Pop or disco music.
Likes: Symphonic and Opera metal/rock, watching the clouds.

Deidara sighed, leaning against the wall calmly. Watching others wander around in desperation. She whistled a faint tune of 'Feint' by Epica.
'It's always such a drag when something like this happens...' She shrugged her black trenchcoat further onto her shoulders as she spotted Narumi and the others.

Narumi in passing also saw deidora,she went up to her,they stared at each other silentley for a while then both walked off in oppisite directions.Guana paused for a second then realising her guide was walking off quickly caught up.What had gone on between these two,she couldn't help wondering as she followed the younger girl...

*May I please remind you that you are not allowed to play another persons character or put them somewhere? Thank you. I'll just play along for now.*

"Aye, what in high heavens is going on? Why are we going against the crowd. Oh, blah!" Guana felt quite overwhelmed. She stopped.

*sorry*
Narumi turned to look why she had stopped but shrugged it off she'd have to find another person to lead her to the gym Narumi took a deserted corridor and set off she soon reached the gym and leaned against the back wall
*P.S.LM I like your new pic*

*Thank you.*

Guana followed anyways. She coughed, clearing her throat. "Are you going to help me or what?"

*I've learnt that it's best not to get separated in RPs because then they just die. HA, this notice is for you too.*

Narumi stared at her unervingly,as if her eyes were boring right into her soul and simply said "What do you want now we're ate the gym,just sit back and let the show wear away your soul.Don't worry about mine,I've seen this type of thing so many times I hardly have a soul"She laughed bitterly and returned her gaze to the front.

"OK..." Guana said slowly. She sat cross-legged wondering at Narumi's strange behavior. She suddenly sat bolt upright because...

*Someone complete this sentence.*

*LM technically If I finish the sentance isn't that playing another persons character?Ah well I'll do it anyway)
everything had gone black.A girl somewhere screamed. "Who'd be afraid of the dark at that age?Gutless fool"Narumi muttered
Suddenly the floor shook and rain fell. "So this is the first newbie's power thats gone out of control."Narumi said
*Sorry if you didn't like it.I was a bit short on ideas.It was hard to come up with this much*

"Ow!" Guana cried. "You stood on my foot!" She was unsure of who she was talking to for she certainly couldn't see anything. She hadn't seen anything so dark and bleak in her life than seeing nothing. Only the feel of her eyelids blinking let her know that her eyes were still open. "Narumi!" She called. "Narumi, where are you?"
At that moment a cool female voice, amplified by some device, calmly spoke. "Please let go of those wires, Juntool. They are not for playing with. Everyone, do not panic and make your way to the gym in an orderly fashion. No one disobey this command. Make your way to the gym in an orderly fashion."
Suddenly, the lights were back on and Guana had to blink before she could focus. This was obviously the girl's dorm as there was a boy in sight. Guana couldn't see Narumi but everyone seemed to be moving silently in one direction. She followed the flow.
Taking an uncountable number of turns through the coridoor, Guana eventually came to some large mahogany pair of doors. She didn't stop and was swept by the crowd into a cavernous hall with handles and trapezes along the ceiling and ladders lining the walls. She was in the gym. She looked round for a glimspe of someone familiar but everyone was sitting down and she didn't want to be the only one left standing. A man came to the front of the gym and began to speak.

*This guy is someone called 'an objective character'. This means anyone can control him as if he was there own person.*

"Hello students,old and new,Male and female.It seems there are lots of powerful new students and it is my job to tell you student all the aims of this wonderful school"

Narumi yawned she had heard this lecture since she was young it was always exactly the same she didn't know why she even had to come.Then again when she had questioned it was answered 'we find students often forget things and facts need refreshing over time'.She didn't need facts refreshing she already knew it off by heart.

"But, to be honest, this is nothing like a school is it? I'm Heresity and I'm your general, a general is only topped by the field marshal, by the way. Now, there's no denying it, this is an army. And you will address me as Sir. Sir at the beginning of the sentence. Sir at the end. What do you say?"
Guana stared blankly at him, unsure of what to do, and she wasn't the only one to. She was easily able to pick out the new recruits because most of the gym rang out a clear loud cry.
"SIR YES SIR!"
Taken partly aback by the noise, Guana sat dazed and listening to General Heresity's speech. He went on in an exciting voice to decribe countlessly won battles and glory. For all the world he sounded like this monlouge had no plan and he was just telling them wildly about his favourite bits about being in an army. He invited the tempting hints of promotion but did strongly warn against all the hard work, death and horror that inevitably came with being in the army. He even described in gory uneeded detail how awful it was to see his best friend die right beside him. He inspired energy and hope with his words and Guana was captivated although she thought it was strange how half of the soldiers were fidgeting and yawning. By the end of the two hours though, even she was squirming with the cramp of sitting on a cold hard floor.
"You are dismissed to your quarters. Walk, don't run. Training begins tomorrow. Six am sharp."
A collective groan went up in the crowd, one which Guana heartly joined in with. Everyone was leaving and she was terribly lost. Where was her dorm? She had to find someone she recongnised, and quick!

Narumi hung back unwilliang to go to the dorm just because of an order.Besides it was still early she was planning to take a walk.
"Narumi,hurry up!"The general said.
She turned to give him a stare but to her dissmay he was wearing mirrored glasses.She gave him a dirty look and walked off.
