Boarding School

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Boarding School

Boarding School

"Dear Student," the sign on the door says, "You and your entire class are invited to the most highly esteemed boarding school in London. Do not fret, a plane flight has been arranged, and your belongings loaded on the plane. Please proceed to the buses."

Everyone was shocked, and some yelled out. But in the end, they proceeded to the buses, to start a new life.

So, here is how this will work:

Everyone will get to pick one subject they like the most, and that will be the place you live. The subjects are:

Math

Writing

Art

Physical Activity

And no trading cards/collectibles are allowed in the school. Music has to be very old, like classical or medieval. Ok, here is the Character sheet;

Name

Age: You have to be under 18

Favorite Subject: listed above

Appearance:

Gender:

Pet(s); Max. Three

Would you like to be an Assistant Writer? Assistant Writers help me write the story.

Do you want a Social or Academic Plotline?; Social Plotlines are about the events and friends and crushes and that stuff, while Academic Plotlines are about studying, and getting good grades, and being a nerd and that stuff.

Also, at any time, you can change part of you character, and that will have impacts on the story.

Ready to begin?

Ok, guys. Right now, the students are rebelling. If you guys would start doing that, I have... Plans.

Thomas~ 

I was so depressed today. Cleo approached me and against my better judgement I made her captain. I am confident she will be able to drive the police force out. But I am going to double cross her. Ha. She doesn't know yet. She wants to drive the principal out. She doesn't know, doesn't understand. We can't. I have to protect the dang guy. I hate him. But need him.

Ugh, I am so sorry, everyone! I've been losing motivation with writing on this recently and... Well, I can't just NOT post, you know? So here I go for Thomas.

Thomas~

Cleo and I shout commands to the other classes. Grudgingly, Cleo convinced me to work together with the Writing, Math, Art, and Tech kids. It creates a more "well-rounded team". Stupid. But I have to get on her good side for this to work right.

"Listen here! We are to get the Art Room back under our control. Ash, take defense with your team to the left over there! Raven, Sammy, you two are with me to bring down the security systems. Soren, Bob, Paralia, Abby, with Thomas to the right! Lillian, your team in the back. Everyone ready?"

Fifteen of us are here, the remaining students remain back in the dorms preparing for the next attack on the Math Room. Everyone shuffles into place, and I shove Soren against the wall.

"Listen," I breathe heavily in his face. "You better listen to my rules. I'm in charge here, understand?"

Soren spits in my face and shoves me off. Something's wrong with my mind, and the nurses are hinting at brain damage. Maybe that's why I don't punch the dude here and now. I swear I'm bipolor at times.

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... The system is down, go, go go!" Cleo hisses. "Go!"

Ash takes the first move, igniting the C4, blowing the door off it's hinges. Where she got C4, I can only suspect Sammy. Our two teams rush in, our high-powered nerf guns at the ready. Police wake with a start and stare, wide eyed at our hord. Stupid police. They use only sleeping darts, not real bullets.

Within five seconds, they are cornered. Raven, Charles, and Paralia are unconsious from the darts. The rest of us stand strong, darting and shooting. These things can't kill anyone - sadly - but they do pull a powerful punch.

"Lay down your weapons!" I shout, stepping forward.

Everyone's stopped shooting on both sides, but no weapons are dropped.

"I said lay down your weapons!" I shout again, this time picking up a dart gun left on the ground.

I aim it at the chest of a guard, who cringes and ducks his head.

"Are you all cowards?" Ash aks, shoving past me.

Anger flares, this is my job, not hers.

"Sounds like pretty girl's having some control issues," a guard grumbles to my side.

Before I can react, Ash is already there, up in his face. Someone raises a dart gun, but I kick it away.

"What did you just say to me?" Ash growls, inches away from the man's face.

If we weren't enemies, I would actually give the girl credit. This is a full-grown, possibly drunk, guard who happens to also be armed with a dart gun.

"Heh, you want to be a prize to my boys, girl?" The guard asks, louder.

"Shut up!" This comes with a punch to his gut and more to his face.

He's unconcious in seconds.

"Anyone else going to test me? Test us?" Ash asks, fire shining in her eyes. "Good, I thought so. Now drop your stupid weapons."

The guards oblige, dropping their dart guns and raising their hands.

"It's probably because of you they are here, Thomas," she hisses as she walks back to her place behind me. 

I ignore this and keep my attention to the guards.

"Now, I am going to say this very simply. Stand up, hands raised, and walk out of our school. Weaponless. Now go!" I say, speaking slowly as if they were children.

It takes a minute for this to register. As I step closer, the guards suddenly stand up like rabbits popping out of their holes. Three men grab the unconcious one and drag him out. Lillian's team who has been hanging back now rushes forward, surrounding all sides of the guards. Within seconds they slip out of view.

"Now, get rest, we will get the Math Room free tonight. Good job, everyone," Cleo says as we all go our separte ways.

I wish I could race over to Lillian and ask for her forgiveness, but she's gone to "escort" the guards. I... I'll find the time. Sometime. For now I got work to do.

“Well,” GAred said as he threw a punch at a guard. “It’s not as if I am turning these guards to zombies or anything.”

Abby, GAred, and Theo were fighting their way to the library, and were almost tripping on guards. They broke through the door, and looked in the library. Inside, nobody moved, except the principal, who walked towards them.

“I believe,” He said. “We have something to talk about.

To Be Continued...

Continued:

“You worm. You- you- you fiend. You monster. How dare you. How-” Abby was screaming at the Principal. He had backed into a corner, and every so often, a book would fall as he backed into a bookshelf.

Theo was reading a paper on human rights, and would read a phrase out every so often. “It says here that it immoral to force humans to do crimes. And here it says it is irrational to try to kill those under your protection. Now, this is only ethics, not actual law, but it makes sense.”

Mr. Herman was now darting glances at the Nerf weaponry carried by Abby and Gared, as well as the books by THeo’s right hand.
“Well, Principal, you have had, let’s see, 5 attempted murders in the school so far? And how many this year?” Gared was on the offence. THe Principal winced as GAred’s lightning fast attacks reached his ears.

The Principal finaly ran from the room. He toppled a bookshelf, and darted into a classroom.

hmm... I like this thread and don't want it to die... But I am really at a loss to know what to write. I only am comfortable as Soren and Cleo, Thomas and Bob.

Same... I don't have much motivation (although I threatened Gared with death if he didn't post) because I just don't know what to do. Do you think it's possible we can sort of edge away from this plot soon and go back to what we had before?

I guess. But I need an ending. And this has to end sometime. But please, can we not make this a romance. Please, please. I have no way to make something awful happen, so can we have a storyline?

submitted by Gared
(August 1, 2016 - 9:47 am)

Nope, no romance *cringes* Not my style. I mean, a little is fine if we must. I liked what we had going with your riots, but I don't know if everyone can sort of follow along with it. I don't know about a story line. The riots might work if we can work a way around for everyone to enjoy it. I don't know...

(Gared, you are gonna have to forgive me, but I don't think this plot is gonna work, no one is gonna post. So I am fast forwarding and pretending the police have left and all that and everything is back to normal.)

i will post later.

It is yet another dance! No assigned partners. Also, would everyone who joined come back on?

(August 1, 2016 - 4:25 pm)

Ack! I'm back! Can someone tell me what I missed? I'm confused! Sorry, I was at camp.
