The building loomed across the plains, casting darkness across the land. Even the hardy cacti sat withered beneath this monstrosity. A crow with two heads suddenly took flight from the window, a flurry of feathers and twice the normal amount of cawing.
By the building sat a rotting old sign. The sign was painted as if a half crazied gentleman had found a can of paint and decided to have a little fun. The sign was horribly mispelled, but the meaning could still be gleaned:
"The Univurcity of Makic and Mistry"
A clock ticked just above the great, iron doors. As it stood, the minute hand suddenly moved forward, stopping just above the twisted hour hand, lying on the 12.
Dong.
Dong.
Dong.
The heavy iron doors slowly creaked opened.
The doors to the Univurcity are open.
Care to take a tour?
(All species and magical types are welcome to the Univurcity. The age range is 13-17 [the name Univurcity is not entirely accurate]. Basically, it's a school of magic.
The only restrictions are the general ones involving Powerplay, Godmodding and the like. No taking control of a character or posting a character that has "SUPER MAGIC POWERS THAT CAN KILL EVERY1".
I will be the narrator, coming in every once in a while to push events if the RP looks down. Otherwise, I'm hoping an eventual story will come out of this RP. Yes, you can make evil characters. Yes, you can be a teacher/sentient animal like a centaur or dragon. Yes, you can be a non human species attending the school as a teacher/student.
Everyone will be arriving through apparition
Post away!)

Taavi appeared in the air a dozen feet above the ground. He had short blond hair, gelled into locks and combed downwards. The ends of his hair were dyed white. He was wearing a black t-shirt and pure white jeans. Two small horn-like appendages stuck out from his left eyebrow. The 16 year old fell to the ground, spraining his ankle. He got up, favoring his ankle and muttering. He seemed to come aware of his surroundings and looked up at the sign. "Hmm. I was actually accurate this time." Looking down at his ankle, he continued. "Well, not completely." He sighed and sat down along the wall, hoping someone would be along shortly to help him walk.

Two figures stood beside the crooked old sign. They were not there a few seconds before, having arrived in a flash of blue light. One of the two figures, who was extremely tall and wiry, examined the back of his hands as the strange metal glove he was wearing, their means of transport, compacted itself back into a seemingly ordinary watch. He looked about sixteen, maybe seventeen, in appearance, but the infinite age and sadness in his eyes made his age very difficult to gauge. He had hair that was sleek and ebony black, and carefully set into a spiky style. His choice of outfit was rather unusual; black parade jacket, black T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Electric Muse' in bright blue, jeans that were faded and rather ragged, black half-gloves with studded knuckles and a chain around his neck. But the most unusual part of his appearance were his eyes; they were blue, but of a shade far brighter than any normal human, and they had a strange, hypnotic quality to them. "So Sprout, you ready?" He said calmly to his companion. 'Sprout' was abnormally small and skinny for a thirteen year old, only reaching his stepbrother's waist, and didn't stand out nearly as much. He had a mess of scruffy black hair, and his eyes were a blend of pink and green and shone like gems. His clothing was ordinary, just a plain white T-shirt and rip-free jeans. Normally he would be beaming, but the sight of this bizarre school had made him extremely nervous. "D-Danny, I don't like it!" "Shush, Drac will be pissed if you go running back home, she paid your fees in advance."Danny scolded, crossing his arms impatiently. "You're studying magic here whether you like it or not. Besides, I'm staying too. I'm your official bodyguard, since you're the worst bully magnet in existence." Sprout sniffled sulkily, so Danny finally lost his temper and seized him by the collar before dragging him bodily to the door.
((Sorry, Danny is fun to RP and I haven't used Sprout yet :3))

"Hello!" Tav called to the two newcomers. "Would one of you mind helping me walk? I appeared a bit too high and sprained my ankle."

"C'mon Sprout, you know the teachers here will do a good job. If they didn't, the place would've been mobbed by parents wanting a refund by now-" Danny said, with a slightly mischievous smirk, but the call made him let go of Sprout's collar and turn around. He gave the other kid a quick glance over before nodding."Yeah, sure. At least you know for next time." He replied, expression now blank, and offered a hand to help Taavi to his feet. Sprout hid behind Danny's legs, unsure of what to think of this stranger. Since he wasn't the bravest kid on the block, he felt that he should make use of his 'bodyguard'.

"Yeah, thanks." He grabbed Danny's hand to help himself up. When the physical contact was made, a slight glowing came from under Taavi's clothes. ~My sigla. It's protecting me. Why? Has this person killed? Is this person capable of killing?~ Looking into Danny's blank stare, He realized that was true. Once up, he stumbled away, into the building.

Danny stood there for a moment, watching him go. "...Fear." He murmured to himself thoughtfully. "You can't blame him Danny, you're absolutely terrifying." Sprout piped up with a weak grin, that vanished rather hastily when Danny pushed him away from his knees. "That's coming from a kid that's scared of his own reflection." He said coolly, not in the mood for Sprout's antics today. Putting up with eccentric wannabe-scientists, even if they're family members, was not included in his training. After a moment his expression softened and he said, "No, you're right... everyone's afraid of Yama. Sometimes... it gets a little lonely." Sprout mentally kicked himself for insulting his extremely touchy brother. Again. 'Danny, I... hey!" Danny had already started making his way to the door, and glanced back over his shoulder before saying "Come on, you'll be late."

"AHHH! Omph." Landing on her back, Amei blinked up at the entrance hall ceiling, stars circling in her vision. "Oh man I've got to practice that." She muttered, blowing a strand of her purple/blue hair out of the way. Sitting up awkwardly, she looked around, rubbing her aching spine. "Wow, some place. I wonder if anyone's here..." she stopped, hearing a conversation outside the main doors. 'Danny, I... hey!" "Come on, you'll be late." Jumping to her feet, Amei sprinted the best she could towards the doors, bumping into someone else entering. Again?! she thought as she fell to the polished floor for the second time.

Danny bristled, baring his teeth dangerously. "WATCH IT!- Oh, hey Amei. Why am I not surprised?" He chuckled, relaxing once he realised that the person who slammed into him was an old acquaintance, and was also well known for running into things. "Hi." Sprout waved, beaming good-naturedly and tucking his encyclopaedia of magic under his arm. "Are you going to study here too?"

"Wha?! Oh Danny, hi. Sorry about that." she said weakily, as she clambered to her feet. Turning to Sprout she grinned, "Sure am. I've decided it's about time I started to learn a bit more of this world...and my gift." she added, looking at her fingers thoughtfully. "Anyhowz what you guys uptta?"

"The little guy here is going to be a student, and I'm apparently meant to be his bodyguard. Drac has been extremely protective of him since he got swirlied at his old school." Danny replied rolling his eyes. "I don't know where we're meant to go first, is there some sort of office where you sign in?" Sprout shrugged. "I don't know, the leaflet was ambiguous when it came to what we do after we arrive..." "... As long as we haven't teleported into some kind of trap, I'm sure we'll be fine."

Amei bit her lip and looked around her thoughtfully. "Well lets try and find the main office. I'm sure someone here will point it out to us eventually..." she paused as a silence fell upon them, "That is if there's anyone else here." she added in a whisper, though it echoed loudly through the halls

"Hey." Taavi stumbled out of a nearby room, still favoring his sprained ankle. He was talking to Danny. "I've been looking for the library, but I can't find it. What kind of magic university doesn't have a library?" Using the pretense of talking, Tav examined Danny more. ~He has killed. I can feel it. Now I only need to find out why. . .~ He gave a little jump when he noticed the girl.
"Nice hair." He said, grinning. "My name's Taavi."

"I expect everything here is hard to find. The staircases probably move, the floors probably change colour... bloody mages, they can't keep things simple can they?" Danny said hotly, giving the floor a fierce glare as though it really had just changed its pattern to something he disliked. He got the feeling the other kid was looking at him funny, but he didn't care. Everyone stared at him, especially his fangirls. He had gotten used to it a long time ago... a very, very long time ago. "...Magic seems pretty simple to me." Mani piped up, looking slightly offended. He patted the thick encyclopaedia in his arms as if it too were insulted and needed comforting. "It's not when you have to use a map to go to the bathroom. Besides, you're the one that can do algebra in your head, things that are simple to you make the rest of us want to curl up and die." Danny snapped, his temper wearing thin. 'Not that I can die again, of course' he thought, clenching his fists and scowling.

Taavi was still waiting for the girl to respond when he noticed the book that the small kid was holding; He forgot about everything else.
"Ooh. What's that? Can I read it?" He was grinning brightly and there was a white glowing coming from under his clothing.

((Just to forewarn you, Beatfreak can't get online every day XD))
Sprout blinked, not used to being addressed directly. People didn't really talk to him, but they certainly liked talking about him, calling him a nerd all the time. He guessed that was the reason Danny was forced to accompany him to the Univurcity. "It's an encyclopaedia of magic." He replied shyly and held out the book, his thin little arms struggling to hold up its weight.

Taavi was ecstatic.
"An encyclopedia of magic?! Really! Can I read it?" He asked, although he already had it and was looking through it. He seemed to realize himself.
"My name is Taavi. Nice to meet you."
He held out his hand.

"Yeah, sure. You can borrow it if you like, I've already read it all." Sprout replied, while Danny raised his eyebrows. He shook Taavi's hand and said "I'm Mani Fireshard, but everybody just calls me Sprout."

"Thank you, Sprout." He thought for a minute, and then addressed the tall guy and the girl. "I'm going to get to reading now, if you don't mind. Nice meeting you." He limped to a nearby wall and then sat down and opened the book.
