Oh goodness. XD
Sypher
The white faced woman stood at the front of the room. Syph slowly followed suit. Guppies, but those shadowed eyes were unnerving. He dropped the pearly water twist he’d been fidgeting with. It dissolved into air before it reached the ground.
Outside? Back into the sunshine and fresh air? A hesitant smile touched his face. His shoulders relaxed as he fell in step with the forming line of students.
Great minnows. All the other students seemed to tower over his four-and-a-half foot frame. That is, all but the tailed twins. He edged a little closer to them. Sucked in a deep breath, and hoped the color would come back to his face.
This was just going to be life for the next–how long was he supposed to be here? a semester, whatever that was?–undetermined future. Better get used to it.

Ellie
Slowly, the students all formed a single file line and followed the teacher outside. Ellie followed close behind her sister, and Syph followed close behind her.
As she walked, Ellie held her backpack in both arms in front of her, trying to minimize the jostling and hoping that it wouldn’t wake Blackjack. Teachers and students from other classes gave them all questioning looks as they passed by in the hall. The teacher led them out a back door into a grassy side yard. The twins both blinked as their eyes adjusted to the sunshine.
“What are we doing out here?” Ellie whispered.
“Dunno,” Eddie whispered back. Others in the line talked among themselves as well, but none spoke up yet.
“Hey, Miss Teacher?” Ed said loudly “Why did we leave the classroom?”

Felicity
Felicity looked at Chase with a new kind of admiration. He wasn’t as fearsome as she had pictured after the fight the previous night. Instead he seemed kind and gentle, more so than most other people she had met.
Just then, a little girl walked past in the hallway with something black trailing behind her like an extra bouncy shadow.
Felicity blinked in surprise. “Brea?”
The girl met Felicity’s eyes, startled for a moment. Then she gave a short nod of recognition before hurrying down the hall and mumbling something about being late.
Felicity watched Brea leave, unable to think of anything to say. Her brow furrowed as she stared after her for a moment, thinking. Then she stood up.
“I should get to class,” she said to Chase. “But I can help you figure out where yours is first if you want. There’s a bulletin board around the corner with the schedule and map pinned up on it.”

My internet connection with this website is abhorrent. It took ten minutes to just load into the main page. Wyoh, if thou watchest over me, go haunt someone else.
Barnes
“Hey, Miss Teacher?” One of the smallest girls asked. “Why did we leave the classroom?”
Barnes, meanwhile, was setting up her file cabinet under a tree. She took off her jacket and draped it on a gnarled branch. The dappled light cast spots of shadow on her mask. “You get to make your airplanes.”
“Huh?” The girl wrinkled her nose.
“This is a field day, no homework. I’m not going to tell you what to do. Just as long as you stay in this field.” Barnes nodded in the direction of some scuff marks in the grass, and an abandoned rubber ball. She waved her hand at the few trees. “Powers, loud shrieks, and self expression are allowed here. If you want to be responsible with the coursework, or if you’re having trouble with it, I will be right here. But you must not hurt each other.”
“This isn’t part of the school plan. They’re doubling down on the schedule,” a teenage boy said. He frowned, skeptical.
Barnes’ lip secretly twitched. “Then I get in trouble.”
The students lingered, looking at each other. Slowly, they dispersed. A group of boys began a game of kickball, and small groups of conversation settled on the grassy lawn. The levitation of objects began again, to shouts of laughter.
Barnes stood there, watching. After a minute, she found a foothold on the tree and hoisted herself to sit on the overhanging branch.
This wasn’t a matter of more or less free time, like the kids thought. None of them needed more freedom. This was about watching and listening to the kids’ average day. It was a matter of trust.
A distant understanding, anyway. Kind of like birdwatching. She chuckled under her breath.

@whalekeeper I think it’s a sitewide thing. Your connection might be factoring into it though.
"When in doubt, eat cheese crackers."-me to my charries who don't even know about cheese crackers
I love her.
Thanks XD I felt like we needed at least one secretly kind adult on this rp.
I hope the problems straighten out soon. I saw Reagan Ramm visited last week.

First time I’ve ever had to rewrite an rp. Stupid glitches.
@whalekeeper @raxforge @koshkaEllie
For a long moment, Ellie stood still, staring at the teacher as her classmates talked and played behind her. Eventually, the teacher turned her expressionless mask towards Ellie. Her tail twitched. Then something connected in her brain and she finally turned away and walked over to her new friends.
“Hey, Syph. Wanna see something?”
She could already feel her backpack squirming in her arms. She set it down on the grass and opened it.
“This is Blackjack.”
The puppy pushed his little nose out the top of the bag and licked Ellie’s fingers. Then he wiggled the rest of the way out and began running circles in the grass, tail wagging excitedly.

I love Barnes so much.To err is human; to arr is pirate.
Celarent
Celarent had no idea what a field day was, but apparently it meant no school. Even the teacher was in a tree. He sighed. He’d looked forward to this class and it had been canceled in favor of letting a bunch of delinquents run wild. Only an entire month had been spent forging official documents so that he could enroll in this place. He glared at the teacher. She looked to be someone who could control this rabble, but appearances were deceiving. What did one do with “field day” anyway? He could fly up to a window and break into that teacher’s office. If he could find glitter, a terrible revenge would be in order.
To err is human; to arr is pirate.
Ellie always gets it
Woww Celarent.. 🤣 Looks like you disapprove of change.
Even the teacher was in a tree.
I think my brain needs rewiring. Reading this, I immediately pictured Barnes as a stuck cat. With sophisticated cat clothes and everything.

@theducktator Glitter? XD that’s definitely how my dad would feel about the stuff.
@whalekeeper @loopylin @raxforgeSypher
A field day? So…a day out in a grassy field. Or, not quite a field. The strange faced lady swung herself up in a tree as the earlier chaos ensued.
Ellie appeared beside him, and set her backpack down, one hand going to the weird Zipping closer. Next moment a ball of wriggling fluff tumbled out into the grass. It yipped.
An Animal.
Syph’s mouth formed a round “O” of shock. His cheeks flushed bright blue.
The Animal ran a lap out the yard before tearing back to jump up against Ellie. She laughed.
“Blackjack?” The name fit the Animal with it’s large paws and big, happy eyes. “Blackjack. Is he…is he yours?”
The Animal turned it’s attention to Sypher, or rather to his feet. Wet snuffles tickled bare skin. Syph tried not to laugh, afraid he’d scare Blackjack away.
“Can I pet him?”

Fork the Gork@raxforge @koshka Blackjack is an Australian shepherd puppy btw @whalekeeper
Ellie
“Go ahead! He’s real friendly. Good luck keeping him still, though.”
Sypher only managed to get in a few pets before Blackjack darted off again. He ran another lap around the group before pausing and sniffing at Ben’s legs. Ellie scooped him up and held him for a moment so that everyone would get a better chance to pet him.
“He’s not exactly mine,” Ellie said, sounding unsure. “But Ed and I are talking care of him right now. He was just kinda dumped on us.”

I’m so happy kp decided to work today. Honestly I was ready for it to just shut down completely yesterday lol

Leo
The elevator closed after them. Leo punched in the number 2 button and leaned back against the wall. With a whirl and a rattle they began to decend.
He glanced over at the kid. Rory was quiet–quieter than usual at least–after the conversation over tile. Leo noted the way he subconsciously gripped the side rail. Not very comfortable moving without some measure of control then.

Aww, my pastor’s daughter has an Aussie she rescued. She’s hilarious.
Sypher
He gave a playful bow to the wriggling creature in Ellie’s arms.
“Honored to make your aquantance, you Blackjack.” He straightened, tightening his sash and grinning. “He’s a handful. Looks like great fun though, having an Animal.”
The pup looked up at him with it’s own lopsided grin.
“How do you get one dumped on you? Can you talk to him? Are they all that soft?”
