Iced Tea ♥ A High School Role Play
This is a slice of life role play, inspired by Honey and Clover because that series is amazing. There will be no plot; I leave it for you to create one. This is an open ended role play, where stories are created along the way.

Open ended-> There are no restrictions. Build and create a story with your own imagination.
Slice of life means "real life like". Slice of life means that you can connect to characters within the story, whose lives and actions are "down to earth". Real.

This role play does take place in Japan, modern time.

Okays, so here is just a list of things. I'm too lazy to put this in color..I'll do that next time:

Dorms
This role play has dorms. They are organized by gender of course. There are mostly doubles, but if you'd prefer a single because of your character's personality, you may just request a single. Then there's a door leading out from the hallway into the main hallway. They are organized by gender of course. I may add more.

Doubles [Pick any number from 1-5 for now]
1-
2- Sato Ai
3- Aaron Marks
4- Idra,
5-

Student Organization
This is just a quick list of the grade level of students

Sophomore:

Junior: Aaron Marks

What is literacy?

Literacy is well you type. This includes grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If you're wondering how literate you are, just read the things below and find where you fit in.

Advanced Literate: This is the category for those who have extremely an extremely high literacy level. These people type VERY long posts that are around 7 paragraphs in size 9-10 font. These people use many descriptions and use correct grammar and punctuation. Try to avoid typing at this level, because other people may get annoyed from having to read an extremely long post. This is most commonly used for one on one role plays.

Literate: These people have extremely high literacy levels. These people type around 3-5 paragraphs. They're pretty much the same as Advanced Literate, except their posts are shorter. Their level of writing is pretty much the same as advanced, except once again, their posts are shorter. That doesn't mean that the quality is bad, so remember that!

Semi-Literate: This is the most common level of literacy. People who fall in this category use excellent writing skills. Their writing usually consists of around the size of the paragraph for advanced literate. This group also extends to 2 and a half paragraphs. These people write at an excellent level.
Illiterate: The people who fall in this category are those who type one liners and extremely small paragraphs. These people usually do not capitalize the first word of each sentence. These people usually do not use correct punctuation, grammar, and spelling and they often are very vague in their posts. People in this group are also those who rather than typing out whole words, use abbreviations like "u" instead of "you". These people are often called "n00bs".

How'd you score? Remember, with practice and patience, you can go from an Illiterate to a Semi-Literate and then to a Literate. Everyone starts out as an illiterate, but with practice and experience, they make their way up.

Personality: Soft-spoken around strangers, but speaks up on things that are important to her. Loud and fun when around close friends. She is an A student and likes art, theatre, and choir. Doesn't open up to many people, so to learn about her you need to be very close to her.



Bio: She hasn't confided in anyone this information... yet. So if you want to know, you have to get to know her.

Unwritten:

Ai bit on tip of her pencil. Her Geometry book lay open in front of her and a blank piece of paper was on top of the right side of the book. The teacher had given them 20 minutes to work and pretty much everyone was finished. Ai gave a frustrated sigh as the girl in front of her slammed her book shut and began to pack up her things. She stared solemnly at the blank page that lay before her and then at the page of geometry proofs. She frowned, removing the pencil from her mouth and placed it on her desk. It wasn't that she didn't understand how to do the proofs, but rather that she was too lazy to do them. Plus, she always had to do her homework while listening to music. It was one habit that she couldn't break.

Ai glanced around the room, realizing that everyone else in the class was done with their assignment, she quickly slammed her book shut. She reached into her messenger bag and took out her folder. She quickly slipped the blank piece of notebook paper inside the purple folder and shoved it back into her bag. At that moment, the bell rang accompanied with the loud clamor of chairs against the floor. Ai gathered her things:her pencil, her purse and her messenger bag. As always, she was the last one in the room. She slid her bag's strap over her head and readjusted it on her shoulder. Then she grabbed her purse, which looked similar to a messenger back, and slid it over her head. She grabbed her Geometry book and held it in her arms as she headed to the door. "Did you finish your homework?" the teacher asked, his gaze on her. Ai made a face and shook her head vigorously. "Nope!" She said proudly with enthusiasm, readjusting her grip of the book. He shook his head and sighed. Ai knew that he expected her answer, after all, he was one of her favorite teachers.

"You'd better go or else you'll be late." He said with a grin plastered on his face. Ai put her hand to her head and gave him a salute, before rushing out of the room and into the quiet hallways. She was a fast runner, like her father. She sprinted down the hallway, the wind from aerodynamics, rushing in her face. She should have known better, that the halls were always polluted with junk. Books, pencils, pens, paper, folders, food, and garbage filled the hallways at the end of the day, but most particularly on Fridays. Friday was the day that everyone left in such hurries that they tossed things in the hallways and forgot things as well. She ran stealthily, avoiding any obstacles and hazards that were in her way.

Around the corner, she didn't see the papers and without realizing it, she stepped on them and her face met the ground in a horrifying "thump"!

[[This is just a starter. Yes, it's extremely short. It's terrible, yes. I stink at creating starters. But it's just a starter.. >.>]]

Kaede, is strolling down the hall, alone, as always. She had just come from her philosophy class and was completely absorbed in her thoughts. While she was pondering, she noticed a paper on one of the many message boards of the school. The paper was neon pink and it had big, bold lettering. It was an add. A want add. It was for a job in the school's tourist gift shop (the school is known for the intellect of it's students, and more so, it's amazing scenery). Kaede was in need of a job to pay for her tuition. Well, she definitely could use some extra money. She took a pen out of her black corduroy purse and took out one of her many notebooks. She then scrawled the number on the add onto a page in her notebook. ((Kaede's thoughts are in small print)) Well, this will be great! I'll finally have some spending money!

While she was thinking of the opportunities a job would open, she saw a girl slip and fall. Her things fell all around her, and people laughed as she struggled to retrieve them. Kaede, looked at the girl and knelt down beside her and started to help her gather her things. Once the girl had all of her belongings in her hands, Kaede looked at her and smiled. "Hi. I'm Kaede," she said.
