Welcome to the Secondary Gym
The Nurse's office is that way.
---->
- Helpful Academy Gnome Staff
The gym is a cavernous room, with bleachers on either side, numerous nets and goal markers scattered all around the wooden floors. In one corner, balls of all shapes, sizes, and substances fill a bin. In another, various mismatched pieces of sports equipment have been heaped into a large pile. A small gnome in a referee's shirt is passed out on a bench, an empty jug of cider upturned near his hand. Beside him, a kushi-powered doombox plays an illegal copy of The Best of Queen. Well this looks...really half-assed. Open House Rules Reminder General Rules
- Only ORPs are allowed for this event, and only certain characters may create one. There will be several "area" ORPs available as well as...
--club booths (only the club president may make a booth thread, these can be clubs both "official" or those with enough members to apply)
--sample classrooms (only teachers may create these)
--various information/refreshment booths (ToTers and Student Council members may create these)
Pro-tip: If you create a booth, decide whether or not you want it to be game-heavy/RP lite, or if you want it to be more conversation/interaction heavy. Games are fun ~ but remember that it's hard to really hold a conversation during them.
Quest Character Rules
- Only characters that have a quest thread may by played in this event
- You may play more than one quest character if you so wish
- You may only post in the event subforum
- Each QC will get a "visitors pass"
~ this acts much like the skull pins, in that it locks down unwieldy natural forms, and in addition, also locks down the visitor's natural abilities. Meaning your character won't have access to any of their powers, reapers won't be able to summon their weapons, ghosts won't be able to go through walls, etc. etc.
Pro-tip: While not against the rules, we would recommend that you avoid going too deeply into the topics of your character's background, their natural ability, their FEAR attack. As these are the main things we may ask for you to change should you enroll your quest student at some point.

.....Well...this was certainly...interesting.
Poke had been informed that the school she was trying to be enrolled in, Amityville Academy, was having some sort of open day where potential students could come and see what the place was all about. So, wanting to know more about the place (and check out the potential competition), she had journeyed to the school and, having picked up her visitors pass as she walked in headed for the most interesting thing that was currently up, the gym
However, as she walked through the doors, she was faced with a drunken gnome and a bunch of equipment. It also seemed she was the first one here. Weird, she would of thought a few others would be here by now. She must have been early.
Having nothing better to do, she ventured to the basket of balls, picking up one of them, and preceded to kick the ball around the empty gym trying to see how far and fast she could kick the thing.

Cricket walked into the Gym and removed the sign about her office, replacing it with one that stated her office was in the opposite direction.
Once she was content that she wouldn't be bothered again, she left.
---
On the cusp of leaving, the nurse nearly ran into another entering staff member who paused to give her a look. It wasn't a narrow eyed distasted look, but it was simply that; a look. If someone's lack of emotional interference could be frightening, the young man who had just entered the gym would be capable of just that.
He gave the entire room a very careful look. Noting what was in certain places and what seemed to be out of place where it was set. He also gave the replaced sign about the nurse's office a very serious look over. Something in his expression seemed to read that yes; it was very much out of place and incorrect, at that.
Invictus took a moment to consider said sign, carefully flipping it over onto its back and sliding his hand over it to make sure it was still relatively clean. He made no effort to produce any writing utensil on the sign, but once he left it, it seemed to have once again made direction to the proper location of the nurse's office.
It was improper to not allow someone who was injured to get treatment and limp around for all of eternity. A cruel practical joke of sorts.
Although that was more of an issue that humans would have. They limped to the nurse or the doctor for small things that FEAR alone would pull back together in a short amount of time on the other side. Perhaps that was part of their interest.
None the less, he soon moved away from the sign to leave it free to other wandering eyes, instead turning his attention towards the other occupants inside said gym.

He hated this, and if it wasn't for the warning of the badge threatening to choke him if he tried to removed Jin would have ripped the hideous piece of paper from around his neck faster than lightening. It wasn't even the fact that he hated the way that it looked it was what it did that bothered him, it was making his hair so.. so lifeless. Even worse with its weak like state he couldn't even keep it all from dragging along behind him and it was getting so filthy! Argh! He was going to have to wash it as soon as he could whenever he would get the chance that was, but for now pulling it up trying to keep it from getting is murkier than it already was as far as he could get.
Now where to start? He thought looking around the campus noticing the FEARleaders booth with colorful bags of sweets that he didn't feel the need to eat at the moment. The library was an option but despite his love of reading he didn't really want to peg himself as the un-cool prospect who did nothing but read on his spare time. No instead he picked to visit the gym in which seemed in his own the most promising for something amusing to happen. He did fear the fact that he would be forced into doing something that involved handling balls without the use of his hair but nevertheless he still showed up. To his surprise it was rather empty with the exceptions of one girl who looked like she could pull her and his weight, a rather sad looking gnome, and a well dressed boil who flipped around a sign.
"Greetings," Jin replied quickly feeling rather awkward just standing there and waving.

Invictus looked to the boil who had just entered the room and seemed to be putting some fuss into keeping his hair off of the ground. Invictus himself somehow managed to remain spotless despite the fact he wore a hefty amount of hanging clothing himself. Then again, the most prominent stain on his garb was the bloodied white sash, yet it still somehow managed to remain the most pristine shades of the two colors; pure white with the most vivid of reds.
He inclined his head slightly towards Jin, his eyes narrowing in an impassive manner; it wasn't a scowl by any means, it was simply a look as though the horseman knew he needed to keep his expression from being far too blank. Blank expressions and trying to seem like he was uncaring of everything garnered the strange ability to summon the girls to grief him about such things. Being the youngest did earn some teasing, at the very least.
"Good day." Invictus replied, his voice rather stiff in tone.

Fell had entered the secondary gym and was actually about to go take a seat up on the bleachers when she spotted the rounded objects. It had been some time since she last played a good game against someone and the equipment looked fairly decent. Too bad that was all she could give credit for. Everything else seemed pretty sloppy.
Fortunately, there were no signs prohibiting them from playing and so rather than taking a seat, the reaper snatched up the first casket ball she could touch and bounced it off the floor one. Two. Three time before she figured it had enough air in it for use.
"Anyone want to shoot hoops with me?" She asked. Tucking the ball under one arm and giving the others in the room a half-lidded stare.

An Open House sounded fun. Yes. It was fun. Think of it as fun and not as a gateway to failure and disappointment and all would be well! Do not make a scene, said Mother. Do not cause us shame, said Father. All well and good intentions the banshee had, but she knew well er character.
This would only end in tears.
Siobahn shuffled into the gymnasium, looking urgently for an opportunity to break the ice. She clung to the door with one hand, and tried to shield her face with her hair with the other. Her 10 feet of hair sat on the ground around her, making her look like a gray swamp thing.
"I WOULD LOVE TO shoot hoops with you..." She screeched, then whispered out.

When Takeo entered the room he paused yellow eyes blinking. Had he taken a wrong turn, he could have sworn he was following a student earlier from the cafeteria but said student was not in this room. Had he lost him? Well...he supposed if he ever saw him again he would apologize.
The Night Fury's eyes gleamed though when he spotted a figure holding a ball. Takeo's tail swished, his mouth a clear frown growling slightly eyes never moving from the ball under the ghouls arm. Was she threatening them? That had to be it...right?

Fell was about ready to shrug off the lack of replies to her invite and play by herself, when someone shouted from behind her. Loudly. So loudly in fact that she could have swore she had gone deaf in that very moment. Or she did. At least until she realized that the last bit of the banshee ghoul's sentence was nothing above a whisper.
"Oh? Well then! Feel free to join me." She encouraged with a smile, twisting her finger in her ear with her free hand.
Good. she could hear again.
"Whatever goes?" She asked; tossing the ball to the other, just before she caught sight of the other boil, who was.... Was he glaring at her? What had she done to deserve that?
"It's rude to stare." She said, though rather than glare back, she gave him a teasing look.

To say that Takeo wasn't startled by the sudden scream would be a lie. He had quickly jumped to the wall placing his back on it be sure nobody would sneak up on him again. They were ganging up on him weren't they? His attention was brought back to Fell when she spoke his expression softening when the ball was thrown up in the air instead of at him. He blinked then gave a confused look.
"You're not...attacking?" Takeo questioned tilting his head in confusion. Wait...so they weren't ganging up on him. He blushed lightly now feeling suddenly silly. "Sorry..." he mumbled lightly.

Oh joy! She had been accepted into play with the other ghoul! Success! Permission granted! The banshee smiled childishly and shuffled toward Fell, stumbling a bit over her hair. Siobhan gasped and caught the ball, albeit without much grace or style, gripping onto it like it was a prize.
"Goes where?" Asked the banshee, who had clearly misinterpreted the statement until a moment late. "O-oh! Yes. Of course! My apologies for not understanding your statement right away! I am a fool! A FOOOOOL--I apologize PLEASE Disregard my horrendous outburst.."
Oh Jack. She had done it again.
Siobhan shuffled a lot close to the other ghoul, smiling acertively. "I musnt keep you from this activity any further! Let's play!..... oh no... oh no I do not even know what game I am playing WHAT SORT OF BALL GAME IS THIS AGAIN? I do aplogise for wasting your time AM I STILL ALLOWED TO PLAY?!"

"With a casket ball?" She asked the night fury; baffled. "I admit, I might be able to give you a black eye, but..." She shrugged and shook her head. "No. It's a game. The goal is to get the ball in the hoop." She explained to them both, as she twisted her finger in her ear at the second and third outburst from the banshee ghoul.
"I admit, I don't really know the rules. Since I've never played an actual game of it before. I've only really seen others play it. I don't even know how many points are gained with each score..." She added weakly. "So let's just say, since we're all beginners, whoever gets the most scores, wins?" She suggested. "Just no rough play and no use of abilities." She added again, this time with a stern voice. "Wouldn't want anyone getting hurt or in trouble on their first visit. We can steal the ball from each other though~ Sound fun?"

Siobhan shutted herself up as she listened to the ghoul with an affinity for cleaning her ears. Such well to do manners to be so cleanly! How exemplary ~!
So, no rules other then no powers, which she could not do anyway due to her badge, yet stealing was okay? Understood! "Then I shall make the first move! Here I go!" The banshee dribbled the ball as she scurried across the court, leaping to make a shot at net, but tripping over her tresses, falling flat on her face, and the ball landing nowhere near the net.
"I apologize for my horrid grace! I shall redeem myself thusly!" Muffled the ghoul, scrambling to her feet, though not doing so well in that department either. "This game is quite fun, I assure you of my fun having!"

Takeo puffed slightly in further embarrassment. "It could be heavier then normal..." he mumbled lightly as if in his defense. At least his grumpy intense look had faded replaced by a natural curiosity. So the ball was something used in some sort of game? It seemed interesting enough...and fairly innocent, and they didn't want to hurt anyone. Well..why not then?
"So the ball goes in the hoop...?" he stated eying the ball again. It seemed easy enough, to make it more fair for the others he would try and stay on the ground, at least they would stand a chance then. Takeo was quite proud of his aerial skills, but winning to quickly would be no fun.
As he spoke the ball rolled towards him from the banshee's trip. Picking up the ball he looked at the net, lifted his arm and threw. The ball left his hands and hit the hoops edge banking off the goal and back to the ground.
Maybe this was harder then he had thought...

Fell kept all her laughter suppressed. Though the twitch in her lip was inevitable.
"Good try!" She said to both; about to offer a hand to the ghoul, but retracted it when she got to her feet herself. "It is harder than it looks. I miss more than half the time." She admitted. Plucking the ball off the ground and giving it a good smack off the ground before she jumped up into the air to tossed it towards the net.
Score!
Today was a lucky day!
(( We'll roll a four sided die to see if we miss/score <:
Evens = score // Odds = miss ))
