(OOC: Hello everyone, since we recruited for this campaign before the board was up I have the somewhat awkward task of GMing and playing. I will try very hard not to have my character hog the spotlight and limit his abilities to reactions of the plot. Anyways thanks so much for your support guys! The RP board is up and functioning! New profiles are being made, story lines have started recruiting. And it's all thanks to everyone who voiced there support. Special thanks to Kagami Hiiragi and all her hard work, and patience in walking me through this process.)

The narrow mountain road didn't make the trip any easier. Students mumbled and complained as the bus bounced back and forth. Red was exhausted, but he couldn't sleep. He hadn't gotten much sleep since the exam results came in. This was it. After two grueling years of tournaments and slaving away trying to prove he was cut out for this. Without the backing of an academy, you can't go very far in the dueling world, not even in the minor leagues. It was a political issue at this point, with the growth of popularity duel monsters also came problems.

Out the window was a beautiful orange sky with all different shades of pink and purple dispersing across the sky. A tall mountain, one of the set that contained the academy's peaks and valleys. Complementing the visual spectacle was the soothing pleasure and the dark green that the mountain forest contained. Nature provides us with so many pleasures and yet, if you aren't happy with your life you never notice. Red had not been happy with his life for 2 years. Now however he savored the simple moment in the rickety bus.

Gossiping students brought him out of his slumber. "I heard this academy isn't very safe." Said one girl with short brown hair.
"Mandy! You're always so paranoid. Bears don't like loud, populated places."
"I'm not talking about bears! Apparently the Inca's made it or something. And there’s evil sorcerer magic in these mountains! There’s even supposed to be an ancient ruin on campus, and some people say...they hear there cards talking…" Red allowed himself to tune them out. Cards talking? Nonsense, cards are just cards.

He went back to the scenery. After five more minutes of what felt like must be the top of mount Olympus the Academy Gates opened up. Large imposing statues of the Blue Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon gleaming, sculpted from white and black marble respectively. Again Red could hear the girls gossiping "Where did this Dojo get the money for that? They haven't turned out that many pro duelists."
Moments later, through the large steel gates all sorts of dragon statues littered the campus.

Temples to different monster types and attributes surrounded a beautiful central arena, where Red had been called in to take his final test for advanced placement. Looking around he saw that most of his fellow students were probably placed in the lower dorms. He didn’t imagine the Cursed Pride students wouldn’t be as inviting as most had been promoted and already had friends in the academy. They would be set in there ways, and Red’s age may have make everyone think he had been here forever. The infected students would probably be too intimidated to be friends… Red was sad again and thus did not notice the beauty of the Lake on campus as they drove by, or shoot excitedly with the other students as the card shop passed the Bus. “There it is!” Mandy screamed waking Red from his stupor. “There are the ruins I was talking about!”

Red turned his head quickly but it was already out of sight. For most of the other students on the bus this was there first visit. Red had already explored the campus he came for advanced placement. The bus stopped in front of the main facility. A teacher bearing the red and black Cursed Pride coat stood very straight waiting the exit of the bus. Just looking at him made Red feel self-conscious and uncouth. He made a conscious effort not to slouch as he left the bus.

The students didn’t even need to be told to line up outside, the man in the cursed pride jacket just seems so imposing… He was far too old to be a student… he must be—

The man cleared his throat. “I am the dorm leader of Cursed Pride. That means I am your teacher, your superior and I am to guide the best and brightest of this academy to rise above the rabble in this school.” There was a long uncomfortable pause as the man sized up every student within his field of vision. “Most of you… I suspect,” the man continued “do not have what it takes to make it to my dorm. Even less of you have what it takes to make it to the pro leagues.” A cheery introduction, thought Red, he had met people with these attitudes before in tournaments. People who thought they were better because they had gone to the most expensive academy, gotten into the best dorm and had the connections to go with it. But in a duel, the only thing that mattered was how you played your cards. He felt bad for the infected students who must now doubt themselves. He remembered the feeling well.

“Your dorms, are down that road.” The dorm leader pointed to his right. “Your first test is waiting for you there.” Then a wicked girn appeared on his face. “What test?” Red fiddled with the brochure in his pocket. “I thought we were done with tests for the first week? No class while we settled in?” Red frowned.

“Sir? My cousin goes to this school, what about the dorms to left?” Asked Mandy’s friend. The Cursed Pride Dorm Leader looked as if he might smack the girl where she stood, but instead perfectly still not blinking or moving his eyes from the girl. “You do not have the skill to be in this academy my dear, let alone in that dorm. You should just pack up your bags and quit now.” Red quickly broke formation to look at the girl, who looked as if she might cry. His heart felt heavy.

“The welcoming ceremony” the Dorm Leader continued with no sign of remorse “will be in 3 hours. That should give you plenty of time to unpack, or pack as it will.” Red could hear her sniffles while the man paused.

As abrupt as his military like entrance had been, his exit was more so. He turned and left without so much as a “Welcome to the Dojo.” Mandy’s friend was crying heavily now. Red wanted to turn around and tell her not to give up, but she was being comforted by her friend, and approaching more then one girl at once on his own still made Red nervous. Maybe it would be best if he just left her alone and got to his dorm. He could use a shower anyways.

Unlike other students he didn’t have to haul his luggage all the way to the dorm as it had been already moved there during his advanced placement tests. Infected and Pulsating students struggled along with their bags while he headed up the road. He must have been the only Cursed Pride student on that bus. All of a sudden Red felt a sharp pain of loneliness.

A river was coming up, but he didn’t see anywhere to cross. There was a small pillar in the middle of the river, but it didn’t look at all stable. As he was trying to cross it he spotted a tree that had obviously been inscribed with names and read what must be his “first test” he was warned about. He found the inscription. Skill and precision eh? He tightened his backpack straps. “Skill and precision eh?” He stretched out and began to make a running start.

“You should just quit now, you little noobie. You’re not going to make it.”
A student about Reds age was standing in a Cursed Pride coat and watching him.
“An infected like you could never do it.” He wasn’t an infected but why correct him. Red had nothing to prove. Then he spared a thought to the poor students behind him, how could they cross this river with all there luggage… there must be another way.
“Hey! Did you hear me! You’re never going to make it!” The student didn’t like being ignored.
“No, you’re probably right. Not the first time.” Red jumped, and barely caught the edge of the pillar with his upper body! He had made it! On his first try—all of a sudden the pillar began to dip. The shock was so much it cause Red to lose his grip and fall in the river. *RIP* went the backpack.

The Cursed pride student was laughing at the now soaked and muddy Red. “I told you you’d never make it!” He yelled pointing and exploding with laughter. All Reds stuff was falling out of his backpack and flowing out of the river. Everything he needed to live was already in the dorm, but he kept his most sentimental stuff with him for the trip. His favorite poster of Seto Kaiba’s academy was completely ruined. The current carried many precious objects away from Red as he desperately tried to retain what he could. After putting everything he could grab in his pockets he saw the heavy cursed pride badge stuck to the bottom of the river. The damn thing was too heavy to wash away. Almost reluctantly he picked it up, polished it slightly ignoring the laughter and attached it to his shirt so he wouldn’t lose it. For many of his things it was too late, they had been washed away while Red scrambled after what he could see.

“Wait a second” said the laughing student, catching the gleam of the now mud free student ID. “You’re in cursed pride? A test in?”
“Yeah” said Red pulling himself up from the river on the side opposite him.

“You need to learn how to cross this river. All Cursed Prides can do it. Till then there's a narrow gap a 5 minute walk north. Cross there and we’ll show you how to do it later.”

“Thanks” said Red “but I don’t want you to show me. I want to learn for myself.” He was about to leave.

“We can’t have that.” Said the boy. Red stopped in his tracks as if to ask why not “Borin won’t want you tarnishing our name.” Red almost asked who Borin was, before walking away and realizing that his “disrespectful” behavior had probably earned him an enemy in his dorm. Maybe more then one. How could a day go from being so wonderful to so…bleh.

Red arrived in the Cursed Pride Dorm. A rather impressive entry hall awaited him once he climbed the steps. He wasn’t quiet sure where to go so he walked up to the long oak check in deck. “Who do I see about signing into my room?” He asked.

While he waited for his escort he couldn’t stop thinking about Mandy, and her infected duelist friend. His mind drifted to a tournament he had lost shortly after his parents had forbid him from entering Seto Kaiba’s Duel Academy. His opponent handed him a basic tip card after the match. “I know you won” said Red looking him in the eye “But you don’t have to be such a dick about it.”
“Listen here” his competition stared him down “I’ll be going to Obelisk Blue in the most famous dueling academy in the world this spring. I’m going to be a dueling legend, and you’ll always be in the minor leagues. So just accept your place.” He took the tip card and signed it “Keep it, it will be worth more then you someday.” Ironically it was one of the few items he hadn't lost in the river. It was even still dry as Red had it laminated.

His dormmate woke him from his day dreaming. “Are you the new student?” He asked.
“Yes, my names Red Nice to—”
“I don’t care what your name is new meat. I just have to show you to your dorm and then your somebody elses problem.” Red knew when to just be silent and go along with an unpleasant situation till it was over.

As they climbed the stairs to Red’s Room his tourguide finally spoke to him. “Don’t think just cause you tested into this dorm your hot stuff. You’re no better then those of us who worked our way up from the lowest dorm.”
“I never said I was—” His tour guide looked ready to hit him. Red should have just kept his mouth shut, but would that have just come across as conceded?

They arrived “Here’s your dorm” said the student. “I’m supposed to show you the Cursed Study Center and the cafeteria and all that but I don’t feel like it so you’re on your own.” Red shut the door without a goodbye and the student was no longer in his life.

The shower was nice. He was glad he had tested into this dorm for the first time when he stepped in the shower. He had put his trusty tip card on his bedside table until he could find a frame for it, like he had at home. He didn’t know why he framed it, partly a joke, partly motivation he guessed.

He still hated the kid who gave him that card. Red was able to let go of many things, but this raw anger felt like an itch he could never scratch. He didn't like being angry over a loss but... he was.

The welcoming ceremony would be back the way he came, so fixing his deck and duel disk he set off down the same road, eager to try the jump across the river again. The academy had beautiful grounds, the forests seemed to call out and the roads followed a smooth dips and curves common in these mountains. The wilds were populated with all sorts of birds and small creatures, at least on the immediate campus.

As he came to the river he saw some of the students with luggage trying to cross the pillar, some older Cursed Pride students were blocking the way, but they were not the same as the one who had laughed at Red when he fell in. It seemed a tense situation. Red ran up ahead wearing Cursed Pride colors, but not feeling at all like a Cursed Pride student from what he had seen so far.

(OOC: Andrew and Final are now introduced. Post your arrival to getting into this situation. The NPC blocking your way is Borin, the current cannon top student in Cursed Pride, a mean elitist.)

"Ever since the spirit called "Chaos" has taken over Kefa's life has changed. He feels like a different person, stronger. The two merging has caused Kefa to take up a different name, a secret name that no one must know, ExDeath. One day Chaos was telling Kefa that he could be stronger if he made a deal, Kefa was curious in what it was so he listiond to what he had to say. Chaos said "you must enter in the dojo and spy on the other duelists, you job to get rid of each and every one that stands in your way!" Kefa was shocked but... he agreed so Chaos gave him his deck, Kefa was ready for what he had to do. Kefa entered into his city's tournament and Kefa won. The prize was an invintaion to enter the dojo. Chaos was confidant that Kefa would succeed in in task, but Chaos saw something different in Kefa.. that he was more darker then the others.

It was early morning, Kefa was packed and ready to go knowing that the bus was going to be here any minute he made a quick snake. When the buss arrived it was a HUGE bus that could fit maby 50 people. On the inside it had duelists from every state, but no one he knew. Kefa found a seat and five minutes later there was a girl who came up to Kefa, she was wearing a skirt and a coat, her hair was blue and short; she had a nice face. She said she was from out of town and was going to see her brother play in the dojo. Kefa talked to her for a bit but then a strange sense went trou his body. Kefa knew it was Chaos. The bus was making it's first pit stop, the place was a dump but the duelists diddnt mind. Everyone got off the bus everyone but Kefa, Who stayed to see what Chaos wanted. Chaos was telling Kefa that he needs to get info on the girls brother. Kefa wondered why the spirit needed to know about one duelist but the spirit replied "Know your place, I'm looking for something. That's all you need to know for now. When everyone got back, Kefa asked the girl to sit with him. So as they talked Chaos was gathering information. The bus has finally arrived at the dojo everyone was getting there stuff and leaving the bus.

As Kefa was getting off the bus he saw that people where grouping up with other duelists, Kefa decided to wrok alone, well Kefa was looking around he saw a group it was a small group there where three people. One of them was funny looking and the outer two looked like twins, so Kefa went and interdused himself, half way into the interdiction there was a guy named Borin. He was wearing rugged pants and a old biker coat with a Bennie, Borin was telling Kefa to stay out of his way or he would take Kefa's deck and beat him up. So as Borin was walking away he pushed Kefa and walked trampled his luggage which he had scattered across the dirt.

Borin looked down at Kefa who was lying in the dirt “Oh I’m sorry little scrub were those your things?” Borin’s two flunkies cackled at his sides. Borin now took a look around at the line of new students who were now lining up behind Kefa “Alright now, listen up!” said Borin whose cronies were immediately silenced. “You all lucked into this academy. The decks you face coming in here, their all watered down. You little brats couldn’t win a real duel, you couldn’t even last five minutes.” Borin paused, mostly to intimidate, but partly to scan the crowd for the one trouble maker, who might stand out from the group. It’s a simple matter of emasculating that trouble maker, to stop the whole group from rising. He waited but nothing, he was hoping to show off his dueling skills, but he supposed he’d leave these kids with a warning, and lighter pockets. “Don’t listen to what your professors say. This is MY academy, and anyone who wants into MY academy, has to pay a price, like one card out of your deck. Of my choosing. So line up single file numbnuts!”

“Hey!” came a voice from behind, and then Borin could tell, it was the trouble maker. “Good duelists don’t need to steal cards, they make due with what they have.” It was definitely coming from behind. An older looking duelist was standing on the other side of the river. But if so… when did he get across. He couldn’t have jumped it when they weren’t paying attention. And why—why was he wearing a red jacket and pin.

“You’ve got a lot of nerve.” Glared Borin, “stealing the clothes from a Cursed Pride Student is a serious penalty in my dorm. Who did you take these from? I know every student in Cursed Pride and your not one of them!”

“Did you check the new student list?” smiled Red.

“A Cursed Pride test in!” he had heard rumors that a few students had tested in… But they were very rare, if this guy was some new talent test in, then he was a threat to everything Borin had worked to gain, and to make the Cursed Pride dorm his own. This chump needed to be taken down now. Borin composed himself.

“Well I guess that would explain why you look so old. What the matter couldn’t place the first two times!” And at that cew the goons laughed, he knew how to play his men, just like he knew how to play his cards. He also knew how to play the boy it seemed. He had him speechless and red in the face. “I guess if I failed the test that many times I’d get in by now too you old flunkie. Must have been one lucky hand that got you into my dorm. Sometimes those get mistaken for skills.”

Borin had hurt Red with his words, he had wanted to keep his age a secret and he could feel embarrassed tears well up in his face. He held them back. Just like a duel, this was only a tactical exchange. “You know, I’ve met a lot of people like you. Theres no reasoning with you. You make life hard for those of us trying to reach the top, instead of reaching for the sky yourself you focus on making sure we never can. Theres only one way to beat you. And that’s to completely humiliate you.”

“Finally!” said Borin “I thought you’d never ask! Duel me then and I’ll show you why you and the rest of these scrubs have no place in my academy.”

Red Jumped the river only to miss the center pillar and trip into the lake again. Borins two flunkies laughed and stepped on his fingers as red housted himself back up. They managed to knock him down a few times and make him look pathetic. Eventually they let him back up. Covered in mud red found himself wondering why he had even showerd. “So, are you ready for this?”

“Oh you’re in for a duel alright, but I’m not going to be the one who beats you.”

“Damn right, you’re not going to beat me.” Borin grinned.

“You’re right, I’m not, because this kid here is more then a match for you.”

Red lowered his hand to Kefa. “Besides, you stepped on his stuff, I’d imagine he’s more angry at you then I am. That looked like some nice stuff.”

Red whispered to Kefa “Look, I know I just threw you in an intimidating situation, but I know you can do this. Just don’t overthink your moves, these kinds prey on your nervousness, be innovative. Just one look at this guy and you can tell he’s too used to his old competition his old combos, but this game evolves so lets show him what we can do.”

“Hey, all that talk and your not even going to duel me yourself. Alright you worm, I hope your ready for a thrashing. What’s your name and dorm?" Borin spat in Kefa's direction as if it were a sign of acknowledgement.

OK, So now I have to post my char`s reactions in the morning? Here goes:

Daniel wakes up early, excited for the first day. After some cartoons and a mandatory bath (mandatory by Hina standards), He puts on his Dorm Leader`s coat, which is a little big for him, and his top hat (formerly owned by the GrayHeart Traveling Show`s Magician) and goes out to the local diner with Hina, his duel disk and his deck. He has a slice of cake for breakfast (much to Hina`s dismay) and accompanies her to the grounds, until he decides to head over to the assembly to welcome his new recruits. As he walks up the mountainside, he is struck with an odd sense: a couple of powerful duelists are attending this semester. Daniel has never felt this magnitude of duelist before. He decides to continue on to the assembly, hoping to encounter one of these "super duelists" on the way. Up ahead, he sees one of his students, Kefa (and that evil spirit he can sense) being bullied by some of the CP students. Oh, well. Best to go kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Final15's post: (Worked on in synch worksheet with all players)

"Kefa this is going to be your first duel here so I want you to be prepared, first thing first you need to know how to use the deck I gave you," Chaos's voice was impatient, and eager for battle. "Oh yea! I was looking at it I know it works in some parts." said Kefa, who was now getting on his feet while others looked at him as if he were crazy for talking to himself. "There is a combo move let me show you, If you play the feild spell and then combo with the card 'Draged Down Into The Grave' and discard Boww they draw one more card so then you can use the feild effect to discard snow then draw one more then get one more 'Gates Of The Dark World' then you can set "Sangan" then set this trap and depending on the next move you can go from there." Choas was staring down Borin, Kefa wondered, how easily could choas do this, if he didn't have to rely on Kefa "Ok that sounds like a good plan but what if he tries and counters, then I have this card." said Kefa proudly "Now you should be set when ever you are ready just go and talk to him... don't lose." Choas's stare was cold. "Hey um... I was wondering if you where ready to duel?" said Kefa timidly.

"Kid I was born ready!" Grinned Borin setting up his duel disk. "Lets do this thing."

The crowd fell silent as the duel began.

Borin has lost to Kefa/Choas. The students look to frightened to even cheer as Borin is shaking with rage. Borin's Flunkies are speechless.

"You think this is over you little punk?" Says Borin Trembling. "This is just the begining! From now on your life here is a living hell!"

"Take your loss like a man" said Red smiling from the shade of a nearby tree. He had reservations about letting the student duel in his place, but it looks like his gamble had payed off. "Way to go kid!" Red beamed at Kefa.

“That was a good battle Kefa you did well.” Said Chaos. “Thank you Chaos, it was a really good battle.” Replied Kefa. "Hey Kefa who is that kid over there by the tree do you know him?" asled chaos. "No, I have never seen him in my life" Kefa said as he starred at the boy who had set up his first win in the academy.

As he is running up the mountain (he`s worried there won`t be enough candy for him at the ceremony, not that there was any candy to begin with), Daniel feels a strong pulse in the energy above him. Someone has summoned a spirit. Vigorous thoughts run through Daniel`s head, about what to do and who did it. Probably that Kefa guy and his evil spirit buddy that he`s seen around. Yep, definitely him and that Choas thing. It`s very scary compared to his little friends. But what is this other thing he senses....another powerful duelist is in the rabble! Hopefully with some cake! Daniel rushes up to the path and the crowd as fast as he can.

Borins blood was boiling, it looked as though things might escalate to a something a little more threatening then card games.

"You stupid little shi--" Borin charged and the crowd thought that he'd hit Kefa, but he charged past him squaring his rage and fist on red.

Red could feel the hit on his nose... that couldn't be good. As he fell back the ringing spread to his head.

The world was coming back into focus When he could feel stomping on his ribs.

"You think you can come into my academy? And act all smug and say we're equals? Fuck you, you little punk. I'm going to ruin your life here. You're not in my dorm!" he tore off Red's badge.

Red's head hurt too much to stand even. As his mind cleared the events that preceded him were brought back. Including the thought that had distracted him from Borin's punch. He'd lost his teachers keepsake. He scrambled away from the ground, knocking his deck pryed off slightly spilling all over the ground.

"Come back here you little punk!" Screamed Borin.

"Go away, I don't have time for you!" Red shouted in response. Out of everything he could have said this seemed to infuriate Borin the most, as he shoot Red an intense death glare Red didn't see.

The situation was intense and Reds cards seemed vulnerable. At that moment a young boy appeared in a magicians cap and what Red imagined pajama's might look like. Pinned to him was a large INFECTED DUELIST pin, put it had an odd symbol, possibly a hieroglyph.

At the appearance of this child in an overly large for his body magicians hat. The three Cursed Pride students students ran away. Borin too, after a hesitant look at reds scattered cards.

This left the assembly of the students very confused. Who was this infected student exactly? Now that the fight had stoped the crowd began to disperse.

Daniel watches the CP jerks run away, wondering why people always run from him (unless he has some chocolate on him from breakfast). Now with the bullies gone, Daniel runs up to the other students and dismisses them to class. Daniel then approaches the duelists he sensed, hoping that maybe they were sent here to get him some sugar to eat.

After a while searching Red felt like crying. In the time since the match with Borin he had covered himself in mud looking for the last gift his teacher had given him, an odd pink Gem stone.

His arms, clothes and face were completely covered in mud, he must look pretty ridculous. How could he have lost it? It must have fallen out when his bag ripped, even though he thought it was somewhere else. He sighed and wiped the tears from his eyes. It wasn't the first time he had lost something precious he supposed, still how could one day go from being so good to so bad so quickly?

He wondered why Borin hadn't chased after him. Hoisting himself up, he expected to see something along the lines of the scene before he had vanished, but was surprised to find a young boy, staring eagerly at the student who had just won against Borin. No one else seemed in sight.

"I'm sorry," said Red "Am I interrupting something? where did those guys go?" How young was this student in the over-sized Hat and pajama's red wondered to himself.

Daniel, seeing that someone knows he is here, quickly runs over to the other student and introduces himself.

"Hi! Are you a new student? You must be! I sensed you! Did you loose something? Whos that other guy? I sensed him too! Your`e both new! Yay! I can`t wait to tell Hina-Chan... O wait! I sensed you earlier! Do you have super-powered decks? Are you advanced students? Did you bring me any candy? Answer that one first! Ooh! That`s a Cursed Pride Jacket! Your`e a Cursed Pride test-in? Wow! You must be good! I`m good too! So good that Hina-Chan gave me this pin! She says I`m a Dorm Leader or something like that......
Anyway, did you bring me any candy to eat?"

The kid spoke to fast for Red to keep up to him. He kept focusing on the word "candy."

"No I don't have any candy... I had my gem, it looks kind of like candy... but I..." Red found dwelling on his loss made him sad.

"No I don't have any candy." He finally said. Looking down in shame and regret.

"What did you mean by sensed us?" Red asked, finally remembering the little hyperactive child's flurry of words.

"Or never mind that, whats your name? Mines Red." Red bent down to pick up his deck, with his muddy hands it seemed clear that he didn't care about the condition of his cards. "for that matter, what's yours?" He didn't look at Kefa as he spoke to him. "That was fun duel to watch in a sadistic way. You crushed that spider deck of his."

Daniel overhears the two powerful duelists talking. Slowly he creeps up on them, untill he is between them, and.....

"BOO!" he pops up between the two duelists. "Did I scare ya? I heard you have no candy! That`s Ok. I have a big stash in my hat! Want some? Well you can`t have any!" Daniel takes a chocolate bar from his hat (not even he knows how the candy stays up there) and continues talking with his mouth full. "Well I need to go talk to Hina-Chan and be at a ceremony. She says it`s like a party! I LOVE parties! I hope there`s cake.....but I like you guys. You`re gonna be my new friends! I`m sure I`ll be able to call on you if I need anything, right? See ya!"

Daniel walks away from the duelists with a smile on his face. He made some new friends and hopefully they will be able to help him with the Raid. Too bad they didn`t have any candy, though.....

(Red was talking to you directly. No need to sneak up behind him, but lets continue)

"Oh yeah, that's right. We're gonna be late!" Red pulled out his now mud covered map before realizing it was useless and dropping it on the ground.

"wait up kid! I never got your name! You're a duelist? Do you know the way to the opening ceremony?"

"WAIT" Yelled Red, chasing after Daniel leaving Kefa behind.

(maybe one more post between red and Daniel, after that we're gonna wait for final)

Daniel sees the boy, Red (honestly Green is his favorite color) charge up towards him yelling something about his name and some kind of ceremony. He turns around to answer Red`s questions in the only way he knows possible:

"Name? I have a name! It`s Daniel! Daniel Grayheart! At least I think It`s Grayheart. It`s what it says on my hat! My master gave me this hat! He said it has a special power, but I think he was lying. You wanted to know if I was on my way to a party? I LOVE parties! I guess you call it the Opening Ceremony, but if you want to go to the party, it`s that way."Daniel gestures to a fork in the road. "Go left, right and left and you`re there! I have to go talk to Hina-Chan, so I`ll be late for the party. Save me some cake, okay? Bye!" Daniel called as he raced to the other side of the fork in the road.

Red sighed as the little boy took off. "Well that was..." Red searched for the right word "...frivolous?"

He turned back to Kefa. "Didn't get your name either. By the way that was an awesome duel!" Red was already forgetting about his lost treasure as he remembered the way Kefa crushed Borin. He looked at his watch "Uh-oh, if we don't leave now we're gonna be late." Red exhaled. "I don't think I'm liked at my dorm much to begin with, I don't even want to think what their gonna say when they see me like this. But I don't have time for a shower."

"Come on!" Red started walking down the path he had seen Daniel disappear down. "Walk with me. Don't worry I'm friendly. What's your name kid?" For a moment Red forgot he was concealing his age and panicked before realizing he could write the expression off because he was the students upper class-man. Red his insecurities behind a beaming smile and uneasy chuckle.

(Note: Final has left the academy because he almost got himself into legal trouble. This is very disheartening, but the campaign must continue. After a lot of searching for someone to take final's place I have decided to NPC his character and control him as GM. While a lot less exciting it will force this story forward and allow us to hurry up our transfer of the RP section to another site.)

The young infected duelist hesitated, before jogging quickly to catch up with Red.

"My name is..." All of a sudden he heard it, voices screaming and roaring in his head. "I AM THE ONE WHO WILL BRING FIRE TO THIS WORLD! I AM DEATH AND EVIL INCARNATE!" Kefa was floating in the air, miles from the academy... no, the landscape. It was the academy, but torched and lying in ruin except for one ancient structure, it's claylike bricks shimmering in the flames.

Kefa stopped walking and clutched his head. "Are you OK?" Red asked.

"Fine" Said Kefa, why was he painting? He could feel the spirit choas inside him calm as ever... had he seen it too? "My name is Kefa." The two continued walking.

"Well I gotta say. I'm impressed. You really shut that guy down. I'd like to see him act so big now." Red smirked.

Finally they arrived to the meeting, walking in late and earning a foul stare from most of the students their. Escially those in Cursed Pride.

Kefa was eager to be alone so he could ask chaos if he had seen the same visions he had. "You'd better go sit with your dorm" Kefa whispered. "You'll get a bad rep if you sit with me."

Red exhaled in a non-challent manner. "Pshhh, I get the distinct impression I'm already not well liked there. I doubt my choice of seat will cause much damage." A scowl was coming from Borin who was now looking right at them. To this Red smiled and waved, which only intensified Borin's gaze, and with that took his seat.

Kefa was right this caused a silent uproar from cursed pride students who were now staring at them. Kefa buried his head in his hands in embarrassment when a voice cried within him. "Stop being such a damn coward." Said Choas in a voice that broke the calm demeanor he had since the duel. "You are the elite. You are the next king. Do not let this garbage intimidate you."

Red was oblivious to the conversation that was happening silently next to him. He was also oblivious of the hundreds of dagger eyes being shot at him. Instead his attention was completely fixed on that young boy he had met earlier with the funny badge. He was sitting at the staff table. Why was he at the staff table? He looked so young! Red assumed he was a child prodigy leaving for the academy before most could apply, but a staff member? The kid was nuts, what was he doing up on that table. Red realized he may have misjudged the boys abilities on their first meeting.

"Choas" asked Kefa timidly "Did... did you see those visions?"

Choas snorted back haughtily. "Of course I did. I am the cause of those. You have signed a contract with the devil you simpleton. The power has to have a price."

Kefa tried hard to maintain his composure while around others, but secretly he was panicked, not that he could keep any secrets from choas. "What do you mean a cost?!"

"Well for one your soul, and the soul of that loved one you feed to me to obtain my power. But this is not news for you. The other is visions of the future... my future should I attain what I need." Chaos seemed to collect himself. "Out of all the schools you could have gone to... you think I picked this one by chance? No... there is something we need here. A key and a door. your new 'friend?' theres some mysterious glow around him but it's been fading ever since we met him. It's possible that he holds the key but it's not on him. I need you to stay close to him Kefa, so that we might strike when the time is right."

Kefa hesitated, but he had made his choice a long time ago "Yes my master."

On his way up the path, Daniel feels a slight tingle in his spine: something happened back where the new friends were. Maybe it was that spirit he sensed.... Oh, well. He`ll alert Hina-chan in good time. But now... it`s time for a midmorning snack. Maybe some cake? Better go ask his friends what to eat.. (it`s a wonder he isn`t fat- he`s remarkably skinny for someone who eats so much)

As Holden looks up at the academy that he leaves because of renovations a tear comes. It wasn't to noticeable, it was raining pretty hard out. Anyway he felt as if his one escape had been destroyed and lost in the shadows. Holden applied for a raffle to go to a new academy for free but had no intention of being one of the lucky twenty. Later that day he went to the bulletin board to look at this listing of raffle members and Holden's name being the last of the 20 was on it. Being so happy he could not stand still he packed his bags and got on the bus that was going to the Dragon Training Dojo. Holden was very scared out of the nineteen people on that bus Holden was the only one that had a worry about how the exam would go. See this school started getting ready for renovations shortly after Holden came to this academy didn't really even get a goddamn test. All the other kids had there ranks already chosen for them by transferring there previous records to this academy, but Holden still had to take this test.

Holden FINALLY arrives at the academy, thinking about this test any longer would probably make his head explode. The first thing he sees are two statues of Blue eyes white dragon and Red eyes black dragon. He figures he should get the test over with and to his surprise he gets into the Cursed Pride dorm. He feels this as an accomplishment until Holden actually starts thinking. He realisies that these Cursed pride students would never accept him. They had probably needed to work for years to get to where they are now and all Holden had to do was take a damn test? He knew this would not end to well in terms of his relationship with his fellow dorm mates. This doesn't worry him to much as he wants to unpack and get settled in as soon as possible so he makes a dash for his dorm.

Red parted from Kefa at the gate. He was eager to get a good nights sleep at his dorm. Classes would be starting in a week, and he was in desperate need of some alone time.

When Red arrived at his dorm, the key wouldn't fit in the lock. He knew something must be wrong, he thought about what course of action to take before proceeding. Maybe it would be best to just book it now... No. He wasn't going to let them treat people this way. He was going to go to sleep in his warm dorm room and bed and that would be the end of it. When he went to the information and student services desk he was told that a lock smith would be arriving at the front gate to the Cursed Pride dorms and that Red needed to go out and meet him. As soon as Red reached the outer wall then the gate clamped shut. Borin and a ring of Cursed Pride Students whose badges read "Dojo Disciplinary Committee" now encircled Red. "Welcome test-in-trash," Borin was absolutely beaming with delight. The Disciplinary Committee students were carrying bats and clubs in addition to duel disks. It wasn't clear what kind of duel this would end up being.

As Holden looks up at Borin contemplating how much of a smelly ugly elitest he is. He had heard the conflict coming up the road. He looks at his bag and takes out the duel disk that his little sister gave him before he left. He looks back up at Borin and said I hope you find a comfy spot in that asshole of yours cause after this duel you will be stuck in there for a long time. His will to duel is fiery as this will be his first duel of the academy and this might be the duel to put him in his place

Borin and the crowd turned as Holden entered a situation that was, by all common sense, one of those things you avoid with your head down. But the young man was standing voluntarily in the middle of this? Something about it, Borin had to relluctantly admit impressed him.

"Well well well" said Borin as he parted the circle to approach Holden "Another brainless shit who thinks he can be a member of MY dorm. You think just cause you beat some brainless tester and made it here that makes you one of us?!" Borin spat.

"No rookie. This is your real test." Borin loaded his deck into his duel disk. "Lets dance, punk."

Red reached after Borin. "No! I'm taking you down! I'm not going to let you get away with this!"

Something metal connected with Reds head. When his vision unblured he could see his cap in the mud being trampled by a group of five, while more shadows closed in. Something had him by his hair.

"You're not going to battle the boss, until I have a turn with you. A student who hides behind an Infected Student has no business bearing our badge." The badge was ripped from reds Jacket and he was thrown down in the mud with one more kick to the ribs for good measure.

So Borin had covered up the truth. "Did he mention he lost to that infected?" Said red as cheeckly as possible. Another swift kick. "I'm sick of your lip!" said the student who had been addressing him. Reds eyes had cleared enough to see how snakelike his features were.

"Take out your duel disk now. It's time to beat you in the only way that will get the message across."

Red launched his duel disk, remaining quiet he conducted his opening draw.
