Ah great, now everyone had come flocking to his side. Well, Pyry really should have expected that with how much he was yelling but couldn't a guy be dramatic without everyone asking if he was sane? The answer was very clearly no though which question that would apply to was up to one's discretion. Not even the utopian Rakua would allow for some sorely needed theatrics. "Alcoholism is a perfectly valid way of coping, I'll have you know." He argued weakly, though even his own words seemed feeble against the heavy disapproving stares of his Student Councillor and Events Coordinator. Man, he just had to go and pick people who actually cared about their jobs huh.

Wilting under the combined disapproval and collective concern for his liver's health, Pyry sighed, ruffling his unkempt hair that definitely needed to be brushed out. He really shouldn't have fallen asleep at his desk after showering and the tangles that knotted his rats nest of a hairdo up was its proof. "Well, moving on from my bad life decisions, its almost time for class so.... unless we want to get written up again maybe we should book it?" He suggested with a meek smile to throw the attention off of him, instead choosing to take the offered thermos of tea with a grateful nod.

Take a cautious sniff of it, tense shoulders immediately sagged at the comforting spices that wafted out of the warm container. Gods was he a sucker for freshly brewed apple tea. Any thoughts about murdering the last person who budgeted the city's finances immediately flew out of his mind as he took a nice long dredge of the blissful leaf juice. "Gimmie mint." Came the childish demand as he stuck out his hand, opening and closing it several times to punctuate his point. Disregarding his own words about class starting soon, Pyry practically melted as he lost himself in the bliss that was drinking some damn good tea, expertly brewed by a hand that knew what it was doing. Man, if only for her tea making abilities, boy was Pyry happy that Adalia had agreed to join the council.

Speaking of his council, where was Emika?

That question was swiftly answered when a heavy aura that promised blood and pain emanated from the vice-president's office, rusted steel and sharpened blades replacing the fairly neutral tone that had previously only just settled.

"Ah." He intoned, sipping away at the delicious beverage.

"Listennnnnn, last night, I saw a ghost! I'm not joking, it really happened! You know how my apartment is on the top floor and you can see the whollllleeee forest from there, right? Well I saw a ghost in the forest! A eerie purple glow was moving around the trees but when I went to open my camera app, it disappeared!"

"Girl, are you sure you haven't just been watching too many horror movies?"

"No, seriously! I know what I saw!"

"Hey, I'm just saying. Last week you were saying something about an Institute Ghost or something and now this? Didn't you just watch The Ring a few nights ago too?"

"But the Institute Ghost keeps showing up! I'm serious! I tried checking the ground today but Councillor Adalia directed me back to class. Boooo."

"I'm pretty sure even if you could check, you wouldn't find anything. I mean, a ghost who jumps off the roof and goes poof before going splat? That's just silly."

"Well if you're so sure then sleep over at my place! I'll prove that its all real!"

"Girl, if you wanted to cuddle with me, just say so lol."

@Mewtwo2

Quote from Rules1. This is a semi-lit roleplay. I expect at least a paragraph per post, around 3-5 sentences minimum. If I am unsure about your RP ability, I reserve the right to request an RP sample

This is the most important rule of the RP, especially if you wish to play as a 3rd year I need to have proof that you have the ability to write more than a few sentences in a post. Until you can prove that you can abide by the above rule, Rejected. If you wish to try again, please turn your attention to the other forms on this thread to get an example of the quality that I am looking for in your forms.

Again, please PM me a sample of a semi-lit RP so that I can get an idea of your writing style and abilities. If you are unsure how to do that, you can access my profile page and find the contacts panel, "Send a Private Message" is the first link on it.

@Mewtwo2
On basis of being unable to demonstrate Rule 1 through your form, the failure to adequately fill out your form (chiefly the name, appearance, personality, and fears section), and no visible prior experience roleplaying on Pokeheroes that can attest to your ability to roleplay in the semi-lit format, I will have to reject your form.

If you can rectify the above points by fixing your form and sending me a PM of a semi-lit RP sample, I will re-consider your rejection

xxxThe reaping was almost boring, the predictability of it all dragging anything that could have been interesting into the mud of monotony. The same beats that happened every other year happened again, the national anthem, the gore-fest that followed it as if the citizens wouldn't remember each game, the click of ridiculously expensive heels as names were drawn. The female tribute didn't seem anything special, just another girl who was unlucky enough to be arbitrarily drawn from a rigged system. Another lamb sent to be groomed for slaughter. Just the same as it was last year.

xxxWhen it came for the boys turn, a non-academy named was called and a boy who looked scared out of his mind was pushed out by the crowds. He didn't seem like a fighter at all, just a regular kid who was 18 like him who had been so hopeful to dodge the draft but was now dragged towards the stage. Viorel meet the tributes eyes, the wide eye fright that filled it and betrayal. It was as if the other was screaming at him to volunteer, for anyone to do anything. It was kind of funny actually, watching everyone turn their heads to avoid looking at the poor sod who would be getting his butt shipped off to the arena. Fate was just cruel sometimes, he thought to himself with a humourless chuckle.

xxxBut alas, there were rules and appearances to keep and before the reaped could set a foot on the stage, Viorel put up a hand. "I'm volunteering~ It was a nice show and all, but lets be honest. That poor lad wouldn't probably trip off the starting podium and blow himself up." Hiding a mean-spirited laugh behind his hand, Viorel climbed the stares to push the other boy off to the side. "Viorel Dalca, if you please." Even the brief break from the script wasn't enough to deviate the soul numbing drivel into something mildly bearable, Viorel had to remind himself that it would only get more interesting from here on out. Tipping his head back obediently, the tight click of metal encasing his throat brought with it no change only grounding him in this boring reality as metal pressed against his back demanding his compliance. As he was herded towards the train to take him towards the capital, Viorel caught sight of cheery blossom pink the sleepy eyes as one shaky finger pointed directly at him a soundless laugh accompanying it as the other pale hand wrapped around bloody bandages. Pausing for only a split second, Viorel could feel his lips stretch out into a leer that threatened to split his face in half.

xxxReliable Shiki, never disappointing him even in the end.

xxxFlicking his hands in some semblance of a wave, Viorel bid his classmate goodbye, stepping onto the train that would take him to the end.

xxxIbaraki watched as the girl who has originally been chosen be dragged away, an older, though not by much, girl taking her place. That was nice, came the idle thought, that someone cared enough to take their place. It seemed like a bad thing, to be picked. Ibaraki woudn't know, bad memory latching on with a vengeance as anything beyond the fields where each day passed in a blur of pain and work melted away under the bleeding sun. Part of the powers that ate away at a weakly beating heart, Dad had said. Ma was the same. Apparently.

xxxChewing on chapped lips, Ibaraki watched as the lady dressed in all sorts of colors and patters that almost hurt to look at pulled a piece of paper out of another bowl. There really were a lot of clothes that Ibaraki simply didn't know as hazy eyes watched white fingers pull the paper open and the lady read out the name in a nice, pretty, and clear voice.

xxxOh, that was him.

xxxWriggling out of the mess of people squishing the small child on all sides, Ibaraki scurried to the stairs, taking a bit of time to get up them as short gasping breaths cut off each step up. While hard work and manual labour was a well worn friend, so was exhaustion of any kind, only a few steps winding the poor child. Making it onto the stage, Ibaraki made sure to bow towards the other tribute before taking point beside her.

xxxA few more words were spoken, something that Ibaraki couldn't quite follow before strong hands led the child away from the crowds. Panic ran through the small body as Ibaraki wriggled to get free of the multiple people that herded Ibaraki towards some sort of large metal snake, golden eyes darting around to find any opening to return back to Dad if possible. But no such opportunity presented itself as Ibaraki along with the other girl were wrestled into metal collars, Ibaraki's large enough to act almost like a necklace. Clearly they weren't expecting such a thin kid to be reaped. But even that thought wasn't given any time to be processed as Ibaraki was thrown into the belly of the snake and left alone, leaving the poor child reeling in an deeply unfamiliar environment.

xxxGlancing around with fear drawn in every motion, Ibaraki coughed weakly, rubbing at burning shoulders that could still feel the imprints of corralling hands. Nothing looked remotely familiar, nothing like the endless fields of golden wheat that had once defined Ibaraki's life. Instead clashes of colours that seemed so foreign melded together with structures that Ibaraki couldn't even name.

xxxThis was just too much

xxxScrambling up, bare feet sliding against the slick tiling, Ibaraki darted into the closest room available and locked the door shut with heaving gasps. Glancing wildly around, it seemed even more frightening with the enclosed space and multiple white structures littered around the area almost randomly. There was one that looked like a bowl that was attached to a long sturdy stem, another that looked almost identical to the second if not for the extra square behind the bowl, and one that looked like one of the bigger long boxes used for holding gourdes and other large produce. It was all so foreign but Ibaraki took refuge in the one semi-familiar thing and crawled into the bathtub to hide away from the sudden foreign world that the child had been thrust into.

It was a nice normal day, where the citizens of Rakua went about their lives without a care in the world. The sky was shining with the perfect amount of stars, light pollution nothing but a words as the clear sky shone through its eternal nightly backdrop. The moon shone with the perfect amount of light, guiding travellers and citizens alike as the lack of clouds meant a clear view of the moonlit paths that glowed under its touch. Nothing was out of place as residents moved through the city at a leisurely pace. Bartering and sales went smoothly while professors set up their lectures for the coming influx of students soon to come. Even in the Institute of Infinity, everything was running as normal with work flowing smoothly between the members of the council.

A loud bang shattered the peace as Pyry, illustrious student council and figurehead of the city, kicked down the perfectly serviceable door to his office, a deranged laugh following him as he waved around a stack of papers positively drenched in ink. "To whoever drained our funds on gacha games of all things, I'm so going to find you and murder you twice over." He cackled, musing up his already bedraggled hair. Another fit of maniacal laughter followed as he stumbled into the wall. "13M gone. Just like that. Whoever did this is so gonna get it, I swear once I get my hands on you!" Adjusting his askew sunglasses, Pyry squinted at the crumpled up ledgers as the letters swam under his shaky vision to see who exactly decided that the most important thing to fund in their city was a gambling addiction. But when the name of the previous secretary treasurer stared back at him, he let out another groan and slumped against the only thing that supported him in the long long years since he had risen to presidency, the good old pristine walls of the institute.

While he was so glad that he had more or less overhauled the previous council and placed much more competent people in their stead, sometimes Pyry still dug up old records that detailed exactly how negligent his predecessor had been. And there was still the matter of the two empty seats that mocked him, the absence of a better secretary treasurer the hardest blow of them all. Pyry was not cut out for finances. "One of these days, I'm gonna take up alcoholism as a hobby." He bemoaned to the empty hallway.

All in all, a regular day in Rakua City

†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†*†

Locking the door to an empty house behind her, Kai let out a breath and adjusted her bag conscientiously. Rakua city was still big and frightening for him, still unused to the winding paths that labyrinthed through the residential area. The main plaza wasn't any better with the filled streets swelling and ebbing like a swollen river, the foot traffic frightening to he who had only lived in small towns up till now. But still, she had school to go to. He wasn't too thrilled about that, but according to the stories, Rakua Community College was actually pretty good despite its designation and offered a varied course selection. Kai wasn't too sure what she wanted to take, but she was holding out the hope that it would at least be nicer than her old high school.

Shuddering at that reminder, Kai hiked his bag up higher on his shoulder and set off towards the main plaza. If she wanted to make it to class on time, well she better start walking.

...

Wait, was he supposed to take a right here or three blocks down?

Map

Show hidden content

Main Plaza
The main hub of the city, it lies in the centre and acts as it heart. All four schools connect to the plaza.

Fountain - A perfect marble fountain where the water always runs crystal clear. Plants and benches are scattered around the main landmark of the city
Stores - A choice selection of stores circle the fountain, the main life of the plaza. From restaurants to boutiques, there's a store for everyone that can be found in the Plaza
Library - the main city library can be found in the plaza. All students can loan books and other resources here.
Residential Area - Above the stores, there is an option for students to live in the idyllic apartments that overlook the heart of the city
Hospital - Located closest to the west, it rarely sees any usage because of the low rate of illness and injuries that Rakua City sports yet has some of the best technology available. Of course horror stories and urban legends exist that surrounds the building but overall its nothing but the ideal hospital

North Campus
Officially known as Rakua Community College, the North Campus is bare none the largest of all the campuses in the city. It accepts students of all ages into its institution.

Courtyard - The courtyard is a large green space that students can grow personal projects on if they so wish. It is carefully maintained by the Student Council and has easily accessible footpaths into the nearby forest.
Main Campus - Filled with Classrooms for the 1st and 2nd Years, it is a place where anything can be taught. Home Ec., Shop, Labs, everything that can be taught is offered and there is a room specifically for that, all located within the various buildings that form the campus.
Side Campus - Specifically hosting 3rd Year courses, this side campus also holds the club rooms for the various clubs that the community college funds
Dorms - Students who don't have a residence in the City proper are offered free room and board on Campus grounds where a complementary breakfast and room cleaning service is offered for everyone
Gym - Behind the school is a gym outfitted for every sport conceivable. From winter sports arenas, wide open atriums for competitions, olympic sized swim areas, everything that one would use is available with enough space for the student body to play with

East Campus
Rakua High School is located just a stones throw away from the main city centre, accepting students from the ages of 12 to 18.

Community Gardens - East Campus boasts the largest community garden in the city, with enough plots of land for it to be classified as farm land. There, sutdents can personally grow things though the land is owned by the city and thus is used for food production on a small scale
School Building - A three story building where the first and second floor are dedeicated to first year classes and the third floor to second and third year courses. It is quite large, but still isn't as large as the college campuses
Dorms - For those who want a taste of independent living, students have a choice to live on campus with complementry breakfast, cleaning services, as well as a weekly option for chores to be done by hired hands.

South Campus
Rakua Childcare Centre is located on the south of the city, with Rakua Elementary as its neighbour. Individually, both facilities are quite small but do take up the second most square footage due to the sheer amount of outdoor facilities

Playground - The entirety of the Campus is in essence, one large play area. A large retractable umbrella serves as its focal point with classroom materials scattered about with plenty of play items to be found
Aquarium - Connecting to the residential area, the Aquarium holds all sorts of animals, even ones that you have never seen before. And its always expanding, its displays different each time you visit

Residential Accommodations
To the west of the Main Plaza is an area dedicated to housing and other such amenities. From townhouses, lane-way houses, apartments, and condos to mansions and other such delights, there is no shortage of accommodations for families of all sizes

Institute of Infinity
Located within the forest by North Campus, this is effectively the political centre for the city, where all the big decisions are made. This is the one part of the city that can not be directly accessible through the Main Plaza

Student Council Office - On the first floor, behind grand mahogany double doors, lies the Student Council Office. It is where the Council will audit any complaints, recommendations, and concerns that the community has.
Office Spaces - Scattered around the first floor are the various offices of each Student Council Member, a personalized space for each of them to work in
Communal Break Room - Somewhere in the Institute, it is rumoured that there is a break room and in that room holds a cupboard that will never empty of delicious sweets. I wonder if that's true
Archives - The entirety of the second to fourth floor is the Institute Archives, kept by the Secretary and the President. No one else has the keys but them, not even the Vice-President
Fifth Floor - A floor only accessible to the President. No one really knows whats kept there
Roof - There's a rumour floating around that at midnight, if you enter the Institute, a sixth floor will appear where the roof is. On the contrary, there is another rumour that at midnight, above the trees, one can see a lone figure standing on top of the roof before falling off of it only to disappear before it even hits the ground.

Nature Points
Located on a unique natural collision of three different biomes, Rakua City has many natural wonders to offer

Grand Forest - The forest lies flush against the city, enveloping parts of it in its lush deciduous trees. Wildlife has long since adapted to living with other humans and are quite friendly with a wide range of flora to be found growing within. Clear trails have been marked out and wandering off them is discouraged but even if you do, you'll soon find a trail anyways.
Sailors Wharf- The westernmost side of the Residential Accommodations lie a flight of stairs that leads down to a beach. This beach offers various amenities such as a swimming area, boardwalk, and boat rentals. Every morning, there is a fisherman's market that occurs, selling high quality fish caught of Rakua's coast. The high variety of fish seems almost impossible but the presence of the market speaks otherwise.
Mountain Trails - On the East lies a gorgeous mountain range that protects the city from harsh weather, keeping everything mild. Trails of all types ranging from simple walks to challenging hikes litter the mountains, offering spectacular views and a chance for citizens to see the great outdoors

Of course these are only the major landmarks! Feel free to explore the glorious city and find out for yourself the wonders that Rakua City offers!
[MORE TO BE ADDED AS THEY'RE FOUND IN RP]

Of course, there is much to be found in this utopian paradise! But first, as is the rule of our city, it is time to go to school!

Live out your youthful lives and remember, your mission is as always, to graduate!

Good luck new resident~
