sorry about that and feel free to change anything you like, I don't mind :).

Samantha / Nightmare Academy
They had stopped to pick up one other trainee before they were on their way to nightmare academy once again. When the portal opened, Samantha’s eyes widened at the sight. They weren’t exactly on what you’d call safe grounds, hell they were seven feet up in the air. It’s not like she minded the height, she’d climb trees that were much taller than a mere seven feet; but then again she wasn’t really a fan of jumping off of those trees either.
She watched as Mr. Jaeger landed lightly on his feet and then the other trainee, Marcus, how didn’t seem to have much trouble either.
Please don’t let me fall on my face she prayed as she took a small step into the air. She crouched down as her feet touched the ground to avoid stumbling and then sprang back on her feet with ease.
That was fun, she thought biting down on her lips to stop a triumphant smirk to spread across her face and looked around.
“wow.” She breathed.
The first thing that caught her attention was the view of the ocean and she wondered if it was always this beautiful here.
She looked away from the water and towards the academy's porch to see a group of three already waiting there.
As if sensing her stare the lady with the red hair looked up and smile at her. Samantha stiffened for a moment but slowly relaxed when the lady motioned for She to join them.
She sighed. Try not to be to awkward, she thought to herself and began to walk towards them.

Alcander/Nightmare Academy

The first thing Alcander did when he reached Nightmare Academy was breathe in a huge sigh. Finally, he was home. Here was a place where he wasn't judged, wasn't beat up, wasn't told he was a freak. Here he was a place where he was exalted, a part of a crowd yet different in his own way. Here is where he had friends.

Well, the friends part was a bit of an exaggeration. Al liked to stick to himself, which was fine with everyone else...except for today.

A pretty raven-haired girl came walking up to the bigger group formed by the new arrivals. Much to his annoyance, she came up right next to her.

"I'm Samantha. And you are?"

"Alcander."

Samantha's face seemed to droop a bit from Al's lack of loquaciousness but she wasn't going to give up that easily and immediately determination soon took her former expression. Alcander sighed as he searched for his aunt.

"So...isn't this view amazing? I love the ocean. It's very pretty."

"Yeah, it's great." Al let enough sarcasm in to not be so polite. Samantha glared at him.

"I don't know what your problem is, buddy, but I'm just trying to make some conversation." He didn't know what to do. No one was this direct with him usually.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude." Al let in a sheepish grin but it was countered with a tart smile.

"Of course you didn't" Al smiled at the mirror of sarcasm in her voice.

"You can call me Al, most people do, anyway."

"Thanks--" she was cut off by a giant rip in the sky. It was a new arrival.

I was falling, freestyle, when I arrived. I was lucky to have taken host in a halflings body otherwise I might have died when I landed. I crouched down as I landed and tried to act as much like a neko-halfling as possible.
"Hello." I said in my sweetest, yet, most deadly voice to two kids who seemed to be in deep conversation til I had arrived. "Is this the Nightmare Academy?"

Lol... I still am stuck on this. I'm half-wondering if Mordechai should just attack, period. That might move things along. :twisted:

<b>Marcus Draell | A small portal 6 or 7 feet off the ground | Nightmare Academy </b>

I looked down at the ground below me. upon seeing this, I remembered Scgrup was still at the house. i pulled a small cylindrical device out of my pocket, and hit the button. Scgrup soon appeared by my side, and he bounded off the ledge, unafraid. i grabbed onto the edge, and lowered myself a couple of inches from the ground, and let go. a small charlie horse ensued, but other than that I was fine. I looked at the surrounding area, and hoped for the best. Then the shock absorbers i had installed on my shoes sorta backfired, and i was propelled about 5 feet in the air. 'So much for missing the fall' i said to myself as I had my face planted into the ground, and I got up, spitting out dirt. 'And so much for a good first impression.'
The Academy rep that picked me up was looking right at me, along with everyone else in the clearing.

Madison Smith | The Nightmare Academy

Strange.

I looked at Juniper walking towards the sea, and the waves moved with great flow. I totally forgot about the sea. I turned to see its beauty, and admired it. I saw portals opening and closing, as more students came in and joined. This year, they had more trainees. Something told me that, that was a good sign.

I walked to Headmistress Nai. " Shouldn't we enter now? I think most of us are here now."

Nai nodded and looked around. She clapped her hands, and in the hustle came to an end. It was so quiet, it could creep anyone out. Everyone assembled. Juniper looked from the sea and stood there for a second, then followed the crowd.

Nai spoke loudly and clearly, "It is a pleasure to see such happy and new faces. It will be great fun teaching you all." It was followed by some smiles and giggles.
"I have kept you all waiting for a long time, and I apologize so, without further ado, you shall now be entering-" she turned and greeted and pointed her way to the Academy. "The Academy!"

They were rushes and excitement and everyone started running to the gate but was soon closed to the indiscipline of the trainees. Nai frowned at them. She looked at me given me a sign, to explain it to them.

I walked in front of them and spoke, "As you can see, the Academy follows strict rules and one of its very important rule is discipline which you all did not have, now that, we had to close the gate. " I heard groans and anger from them.

"I would kindly request you all to form a line and walk in. Please, do not rush. And when you enter, take a left and go straight which will lead you to your classes. Your schedule will be clearly visible. Read it and follow what you have to do. Now, come on, I want you all to form a line!"

That was the first time I have ever spoken so bravely. Otherwise, I'm usually a little nervous, or timid. I saw the students getting up into a line. It was a huge one and Nai congratulated me on the good speech.

Musica, maybe we could see how many people aren't interested in the SB any more and have the people who are interested take over some of their characters and ...maybe get rid of the rest? I mean, if they aren't interested in the SB any more why would it matter. That way the progress will be very slow but it still something.

Tensis, you're right. The only issue I have is that we'll lose too many characters that way. I'll take a look at it and PM you guys about the changes? I'd have liked to start all over or invite other people, but I'll see of the SB can do without a few characters. I'm sure it could. I'll try to downsize the SB. *laughs*
should've done that long ago

EDIT:
Siona, the lines for Gidmodding are very blurred, but I think that controlling someone else's character, especially Nai, would be Godmodding, I think. Of course, I'm not sure..

Isn't that just moving along the story? If we can only talk our own characters then conversation would not be really happening because we could only talk and besides anyone who has ever done a SB would be Godmodding... I thought godmodding was when you change stuff like reality to fit your whims (i.e. someone says they are chained in unbreakable bonds and a person breaks them) or has ultimate powers. But I would love to do Nightmare Academy!

Mordechai ~ His Palace

I sighed, lounging on a reclining seat on my porch, drink in my hand. Ahead of me, waves lapped gently on the sandy shore. Behind me, the TV which I had forgotten to turn off blared behind sound-cancelling sliding doors. Beside me, Morgan lay in a bikini, my arm wrapped around her. In short, I was happy. Stakeout at the Academy had gone well.
"So what now?" Morgan murmured, lazily.
"Now I wait some more, then strike," I said. "I've yet to rally enough support. I was hoping the Sage would show up."
"That old man?" Morgan grumbled, snuggling closer. "You'd be better off without him."
"He was my mentor," I chided. "I owe him."
"Well what now?" Morgan asked.
I propped myself up higher.
"Now we make it clear exactlywho the pesky Academy students are dealing with!"
I rose, eyes glowing. My wings ripped out from my bare chest, and I flew up, up into the air.
From my vantage point, I could see all the way to the Academy. The tell-tale vortexes gave it away.
I sped towards it, wing beating ponderously. I glowed with a steaming white aura, tendrils of energy streaming from me like supercharged mist.
"NIGHTMARE ACADEMY!" I boomed, voice magically amplified.
I could see a crowd of horrified - and I hoped impressed - people mill outside, below me. "You have been given far too much time. You have a week to depart, usurpers, before I attack. This is a warning." I snapped my fingers, and a vortex created itself. I plunged my hand inside, then removed it, clutching the bloodied head of a student.
"This girl once went by the name of Annie," I said, smirking. "She made the mistake of trying to talk to me. Alas, our business was unsuccessful. For her, at least."
I tossed the severed stump of a head into the crowd.
Silence.
Then the screams sounded.

I suppose this could be an ending post, of sorts.

I'm sorry if that was Godmodding. :S I just wanted to get in to the Academy because everyone's waiting to get the story moving, but I didn't mean to take over Nai. >.< Maybe if you want, I'll delete the opening of the gate? And you could do that. I guess its fair enough.

And its okay!
