[#spoiler=Magic Details]
Everyone starts at Sin level 1. Each level of Sin grants access to higher levels of spells. Sin increases every time someone is killed during a Contract Game you are in.

At will, you can bring up a status window that only you can see. This displays your Sin level, the spell list as well as other useful details.

Spells are cast using Spell Points (SP). You all have 100 SP. SP is restored after a full night's rest.

Level 0 spells cost 10 SP. Lower-level spells cost 40 SP, and higher level spells cost even more.

To cast a spell, raise your dominant arm and clearly chant the spell's name.

Spells generally have two modes. You choose which mode you are using when casting the spell. You can only pick one mode at a time.

Only one spell can be cast at a time.

Unless otherwise specified, all spells last their full duration. They cannot be dispelled early.

With practice, you become a better spellcaster. You gain more SP, your spells grow stronger and gain new effects, and you even become able to circumvent restrictions in the spellcasting system. However this is a process that won't show results for at least a few years. For the purposes of this game, players have 100 SP and spells work exactly as stated in the spellbook.

(The list of spells can be found on the main post of this thread.)
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Spell List]
Spells have two modes, listed as A and B for simplicity.

[#spoiler=Sin Level 0 (10 SP)]
Cyfarwydd (Familiar)
A: Summon your personal familiar to your side.
B: Dismiss your familiar, wherever it currently is.

[#spoiler=Details]
Familiars tend to be smaller than their human summoners. They are about as intelligent as a smart dog, though notably they fully understand the summoner’s language; however, they don’t speak it. They are utterly loyal and will follow any command given to them by their master, though there are limits to what they can do. (E.g. They aren’t intelligent enough to operate a device or wield a tool effectively. Use a smart dog as reference for their capabilities.) They cannot use any magic. If killed, they can be re-summoned by casting this spell again.
[/spoiler]

Golau (Light)
A: Create a small orb of light that can be manipulated.
B: Analyse death.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: Lasts 12 hours.

B: This is mainly used to autopsy bodies during a Contract Game. In general it can analyse dead organic matter to identify it, determine the cause of death, estimate a time of death e.t.c. There are limits to the information it can gather, but it will always be accurate: it can’t be fooled by simple tricks like freezing a body or trying to obfuscate the cause of death.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 1 (40 SP)]
Metel (Metal)
A: Create a chunk of metal.
B: Reshape a chunk of metal.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: The created metal can be no larger than 1ft on any side. It has a distinctive purple tint, and appears in your hand.

B: The reshaped metal can be no larger than 1ft on any side (before and after). Metal can only be reshaped by this spell once per day. The metal you are shaping can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to it. The transformation has to be a ‘single movement’, that is, you can’t make it bulge outwards and then back again as part of one transformation.
[/spoiler]

Pren (Wood)
A: Create a chunk of wood.
B: Reshape a chunk of wood.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: The created wood can be no larger than 1ft on any side. It has a distinctive purple tint, and appears in your hand.

B: The reshaped wood can be no larger than 1ft on any side (before and after). Wood can only be reshaped by this spell once per day. The wood you are shaping can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to it. The transformation has to be a ‘single movement’, that is, you can’t make it bulge outwards and then back again as part of one transformation.
[/spoiler]

Gwynt (Wind)
A: Create a gust of wind from your hand.
B: Slow your fall for 10 seconds.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: The wind has the force of a shove by a typical adult.

B: You fall at a speed just below the threshold that would hurt.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 2 (40 SP)]
Daear (Earth)
A: Harden a patch of earth into stone.
B: Reshape a chunk of stone.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: The affected earth can be no larger than 1ft on any side.

B: The reshaped stone can be no larger than 1ft on any side (before and after). Stone can only be reshaped by this spell once per day. The stone you are shaping can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to it. The transformation has to be a ‘single movement’, that is, you can’t make it bulge outwards and then back again as part of one transformation.
[/spoiler]

Dwfr (Water)
A: Create a small amount of water.
B: Project a freezing ray from your hand.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: You create enough water to fill a 1ft cube at most. It is 20°C and pure. It appears as a gentle flow from your hand.

B: The ray creates ice wherever it hits. It has a 5ft range and lasts 1 second.
[/spoiler]

Tân (Fire)
A: Create an explosive pellet.
B: Project a heat ray from your hand.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: The pellet fits within the palm of your hand. It detonates with the strength of a cherry bomb when impacted or sparked.

B: The ray lights fires wherever it hits. It has a 5ft range and lasts 1 second.
[/spoiler]

Gwlad Hud (Wonderland)
A: Enlarge something up to 10 times its original size.
B: Shrink something up to 1/10 its original size.

[#spoiler=Details]
The object can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to it. It will push obstructions aside, but if met with too much resistance it will only grow as large as it can. The object will remain large for 12 hours, after which it will automatically revert. Living beings can be grown too, if they are willing; the spell’s magic means they won’t experience harmful side-effects. While the size of an object is changed, it cannot be affected by this spell a second time, regardless of which mode you choose for the second casting.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 3 (40 SP)]
Tywyll (Dark)
A: Create a small orb of magical darkness that can be manipulated.
B: Create a minute quantity of lethal poison.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: No light can penetrate the orb's area of effect. It lasts 12 hours.

B: A small wound appears on your finger. The blood that drips out (2ml at most) transforms into a black poison, potent enough to kill within seconds of being administered. It takes effect when ingested, or when it enters the blood stream. The death is rather painful, though mercifully quick. It has very distinctive symptoms: the victim’s blood vessels all turn black, including in their eyes as well, and a similarly-black liquid seeps out from their eyes like tears. The poison disappears entirely after 5 minutes, making it difficult to prepare in advance. It’s a watery, black liquid with an indistinct bitter taste.
[/spoiler]

Trydan (Electricity)
A: Release an EMP.
B: Create a magnetic north or south pole around your hand.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: Release an electromagnetic pulse around your hand, with a 1ft radius. This temporarily disables most electronics it contacts. Advanced systems will usually reboot within a few minutes at most, while others will need to be manually turned on again.

B: The magnetic field is about as strong as a large neodymium magnet. Your hand glows blue or red accordingly. The field remains for as long as you concentrate on it, up to 1 hour at most.
[/spoiler]

Larwm (Alarm)
A: Create an alarm rune on a surface. You are notified when someone contacts it.
B: Sound a magical siren.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: Create an invisible rune on a surface you touch. The rune has a 1ft diameter. When another living being of sufficient size (a cat or larger) comes into contact with it, the rune will become visible and faintly glow, and you will be notified mentally. The rune remains in place for 12 hours, after which it disappears.

B: A blaring siren sounds out from your hand. It is audible up to 300ft away, but is simultaneously quiet enough not to hurt anyone, particularly the caster at the centre of it. (It’s a very annoying sound however.)
[/spoiler]

Ffasâd (Façade)
A: Temporarily become more confident and charismatic.
B: Temporarily become anonymous.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: Lasts for 1 hour. While you might now be able to charm people in your favour in ways you couldn’t before, this isn’t a form of hypnosis or the like; the change is only internal. Other people will just see you in a somewhat more positive light due to your new innate charisma. (Even then, it’s up to you to be charismatic. If you do something someone doesn’t like, they still won’t like it.)

B: Lasts for 1 hour. You take on the appearance of a generic human being that no-one recognises and no-one would really be able to describe afterwards. People can still see you and will still remember you being there and what you did, they just won’t know your identity. While you don’t appear suspicious, you are a stranger to everyone, and will be viewed as such.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 4 (40 SP)]
Cwmwl (Cloud)
A: Summon a fog cloud that can be manipulated.
B: Make it rain.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: The cloud fills a 20ft diameter space and heavily obscures everything within it. It lasts 1 hour.

B: Make it rain over a 20ft wide space. You must be outdoors to benefit from this. The rain lasts 12 hours.
[/spoiler]

Cwsg (Sleep)
A: Create an orb that releases knockout gas.
B: Peer into someone's dreams.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: 1 minute after being created, the orb releases enough gas to fill a typical room. The gas lingers for 1 further minute. If you inhale any, you will fall unconscious for 1 hour. The orb will remain as a physical object.

B: Requires direct contact with the target's head. While touching them, you can direct their dreams to a degree, to steer them towards revealing what you want to know. When they wake up, they will be aware that this spell was cast on them.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 5 (40 SP)]
Alcemi (Alchemy)
A: Create a small amount of acidic or basic liquid.
B: Transmute metal.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: Create enough liquid to fill a 1ft cube at most. It is whatever pH you designate. It appears as a gentle flow from your hand.

B: Transmute an amount of metal no larger than 1ft on any side into a different kind of metal. Metal can only be transmuted by this spell once per day. The metal you are altering can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to it.
[/spoiler]

Bwystfil (Beast)
A: Transform into an animal.
B: Talk with animals.

[#spoiler=Details]
A: Lasts 12 hours. You can become any animal you've seen before. You retain your mental faculties, but otherwise have the traits of the animal. You cannot cast spells while transformed.

B: Lasts 1 hour. You can understand all animal communication, and can convey yourself to them as well. Animals still react to you as they would any other human, and generally won't be inclined to listen to your instructions.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 6 (40 SP)]
Bane (Bane)
A: Temporarily make someone blind.
B: Temporarily make someone deaf.

[#spoiler=Details]
Lasts 1 hour. A person can only be affected by one of these modes at a time. The target can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to them.
[/spoiler]

Brysied (Haste)
Move and think faster. Everything else appears to move slower.

[#spoiler=Details]
Lasts 5 minutes. Time around you appears to slow to about half speed. You glow orange while this is in effect.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 7 (160 SP)]
Teleport (Teleport)
A: Create a special rune on a surface. You can later teleport to it.
B: Place a special rune on an object. You can later teleport it to you.

[#spoiler=Details]
The two runes are clearly visible, and distinct from each other. They last 12 hours. After being used once, the rune stops glowing and no longer functions, but it remains where it was placed for an additional 12 hours.
[/spoiler]

Pyped (Puppet)
Animate a corpse.

[#spoiler=Details]
For the next 12 hours, you can concentrate to manipulate the corpse you cast this spell on. Only one corpse can be manipulated at a time. The corpse you cast the spell on can be lightly obscured, but you must have good line of sight to it.
[/spoiler]

Clôn (Clone)
Summon a clone of yourself.

[#spoiler=Details]
The clone lasts for 1 hour. It can be given simple commands, and acts in a basic facsimile of your behaviour. After the duration is up, the clone's features will blur into that of a generic human, and it will appear to die.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Sin Level 8 (160 SP)]
Osgoi (Dodge)
Cast on yourself in advance. If you would die, feign death instead.

[#spoiler=Details]
Lasts 24 hours. You appear to die in whatever way you were about to, and can maintain this state until the duration is up. You remain conscious during this time, but if you move too much the illusion is broken and the spell ends. Otherwise there's no way to tell that you're still alive.
[/spoiler]

Anghofiwch (Forget)
Make someone forget everything from the last hour.

[#spoiler=Details]
Requires direct contact with the target's head. It will be obvious to them that they've forgotten something. They won't remember anything that happens in the next minute either.
[/spoiler]

Anghenfil (Monster)
A: Summon your personal monster to your side.
B: Dismiss your monster, wherever it currently is.

[#spoiler=Details]
Monsters are like familiars, but larger, stronger and with various special abilities. Everyone's personal monster is different, and has its own abilities. They are about as intelligent as a smart dog, though notably they fully understand the summoner’s language; however, they don’t speak it. They are utterly loyal and will follow any command given to them by their master, though there are limits to what they can do. They cannot use any magic. If killed, they can be re-summoned by casting this spell again.
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]

Higher level spells will become available to view as you level up further.
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Free Time Events (FTEs) and Innocence]
Once per chapter, you can form a 'bond' with another player, creating a private conversation with them. FTEs last for just one chapter.

Every time you initiate two FTEs, you earn a Permanence Shard. You can spend this to make an FTE permanent, even if it's already ended.

Forming bonds and exposing killers during trials increases the groups' Innocence, a level shared between everyone. Innocence is used to cast helpful spells during trials, equivalent to Lifelines from previous games. (This is just flavour, and Lifelines aren't actually restricted by how many FTEs this game gets.)
[/spoiler]

[#spoiler=Lifelines]
Each lifeline can only be used once during this entire game. You can use up to two different lifelines per trial.

Effigy Ritual (Hangman’s Gambit): All the characters jointly decide on a question to ask. The answer will be hidden, but each character gets to guess a letter. (Previous players can guess another letter only if needed to expedite the game.) The game will end after too many wrong guesses, depending on the length of the answer. No discussion on which letters to guess can take place.

Clash of Wills (Rebuttal Showdown/Scrum Debate): Two (or multiple) characters argue on a point. At the end it’s be revealed which side was closer to the correct answer.

Judgement (Climax Reasoning): One character is chosen to put together a numbered list of everything they know about the case. (The number of items in the list is determined by the GM). At the end, they’ll be told the first three incorrect items.

(Expended) Demonic Oracle (Logic Dive): One player is chosen to answer multiple choice questions about the case in a rapid fire manner. It ends when two incorrect answers have been given or the point of discussion has been resolved. (Other players can discuss what to do, but only the participant can make decisions.)

Cleansing Flames (Spring Cleaning): Irrelevant or already-used evidence is removed from the evidence list, to better focus discussion for the remaining unsolved mysteries.

Prologue

St. Hope's School for future Leaders. A beacon for the future, bringing gifted students in from all across the globe. Today marked the beginning of its seminal year; a gentle start for what would eventually be a bustling, incredibly successful academy for nurturing unique talents. At least, so the principal hoped. He hadn't been able to attend the opening day, as a sudden commitment dragged him away.

As the arrival time drew close, a small number of students steadily showed up at the main entrance, taking in the impressive building they would be living and studying in over the next few years. The first batch was quite small, as the academy had yet to prove itself, but the hope was that this class would clearly demonstrate its prestige.

New arrivals were greeted by a burly, cheerful teacher who directed them to classroom 1-A, where an orientation session was to be held. A few other teachers carried the students' belongings to their rooms for them.

As they filtered into the classroom, some students eyed each other curiously. Every student here had unusual talents for their age, and they couldn't help but speculate. A few started up conversations, while others kept to themselves. Eventually, it was time to begin.

The teacher from earlier walked into the classroom, waving in greeting to the class. A few other members of staff were dotted around too. As the students understood it, only a handful of staff members had shown up for the very first day. The rest would arrive later, commute in from the nearby city, or even tutor remotely.

[Kameron's theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkbgGmMYBHg]

"Welcome, everyone, to St. Hope's School for future Leaders!" the man began, resting his hands firmly on the teacher's desk at the front of the room. "SHSL for short, as you'll see on the logo, but I prefer just St. Hope's. Less of a mouthful." He chuckled heartily.

He was a well-built man with close-cropped hair and a somewhat intimidating face, but the moment he smiled any worries the students had melted away. He seemed to be in his mid to late thirties. There was a hefty camera hanging from a strap around his neck; the students got the impression he rarely put it down.

[#spoiler=Kameron Fields]

[/spoiler]

"My name's Kameron Fields, so I suppose I'll be 'Mr Fields' from now on. I'll be your homeroom teacher, and I also teach gym classes here. If any of you have a passion for photography, well, I'll happily be photography club advisor too! Just a little hobby of mine; I'm sure it doesn't measure up to your Ultimate potential, but so long as none of you are the Ultimate Photographer I think I'll be fine!

"Now then, your turn. Tell me who you are! You guys too," he said, indicating the staff members in the room. "Seems only a few of us bothered to show up for the first day, so we may as well get to know one another!"

[Introductory phase! You all get 3 posts to introduce yourselves and talk to people, until everyone's had a chance to post at least once. Then you're free to post as you like.]

[Doctor Nanjo M.D.]

One of the students looks around with apprehension. Seeing no other immediate volunteers, she opens her mouth, "My name is Eugenia Cooley! I hope I can be a good classmate or friend to everyone. I hope to help you all with your studies, at least where I can. I'm personally studying to be the Ultimate Peer Mediator!"

"A fun fact about me is that I know all the world capital cities! Just quiz me!" She makes a wide smile.

"Thanks Mr. Fields for getting us started!" she gives her teacher a thumbs up.

Satisfied and relieved to have gone first, she gracefully lets someone else take the floor.

[dootdoot]

Seeing someone else had spoken, a girl wearing a boy's uniform raised her hand... And started tugging on one of the rabbit ears she was wearing. It bounced back into position as she pulled it down and let it go several times while looking around the room.

"... I'm A- I'm Faye Liddell. I'm a Paranormal Investigator. I have some stuff online. That's all."

Her eyes continued to scan the room. "... Did no one else get the uniform?"

[JesusMonroe]

A younger, short woman approached the group next. Her movement was so elegant and so precise that one couldn't help but be transfixed. Simply walking made it seem like she was gliding across air, as naturally as a fish would swim across water. Her clothes were high-end fabric and loudly shimmering with a midnight black. Although she was porcelain pale, she was still strikingly beautiful.

"Hello, everyone. I am called Isadora, and it's my distinct honor to meet all you beautiful souls." Her voice was soft and heavenly; her aura magnetic. She walked the invisible line between angel and demon with complete grace.

"Please forgive my monologue. I really do not like being the center of attention, but I feel a moral need to warn everyone: ever since I was a little girl, death has followed me wherever I go. I used to believed this was my curse, but now I've come to accept that this is a gift.

"You see, I have a special communion with spirits. The triumphs, the fears, the pain of the recently passed... I can feel it all. And when one dies, I am there to aid their odyssey to the world beyond. My grief is often so great, that even strangers of the deceased often join me in communion. After enough time I realized how powerful this talent of mine could be." Her eyes glowed with a mixture of pride and greed. "I'm quite famous in my hometown--I'd say there hasn't been a funeral in the past 3 years without my attendance. Even those who can't afford my services on their own often find my presence necessary enough that they'll fundraise, or start a payment plan."

A small speck of sunlight went across one of her pointed ears, and she mechanically unsheathed an umbrella for shade. "The beginning and the end is what unites us all. If you feel unprepared for your inevitable journey, please don't hesitate to reach out for my services. I offer discounts on advanced payments."

She put a hand to her mouth, feeling inelegant and embarassed. "Dearest me! I realize how improper that must've sounded, you must forgive my candidness! Really now, there's no reason for anyone to be wary of me." She expanded her face into a cherubic smile. "Death is nothing to be afraid of after all."

Isadora
Ultimate Mourner

[satan]

Situated by the window, where he could see both through the door and into the outside world, the older man inclined his head. His hair had long since become the silvery-white of old age, even as it framed a serious face with a short-cropped beard. He wore a white shit with a blue tie, and a black overcoat was draped over his shoulders. Just barely peeking out from under it was a short object.

"Truly wise words from one so young," he commented gravely. "Yet, should I have my way, none of you will have to worry about that."

He inclined his head to the group at large.

"I am known simply as 'Hawk', though you may refer to me as you wish. I am tasked with security in this establishment; if any of you feel unsafe, do let me know."

[Doctor Nanjo M.D.]

Eugenia’s eyes go wide and her mouth drops open.

“Oh darn it! Did I miss something about a uniform?” Apparently, she is most concerned about what Faye said.

The teen swings her head (along with what must be several pounds of curly hair that would put even the eighties to shame with its mass) toward their teacher, saying “I’m sorry Mr. Fields! I must have missed something important. Please let me know how I can get myself and my classmates proper uniforms and by what time you’ll need it.”

She is sure to wave at her class mates and nod earnestly (again shaking an absolute mountain of hair) as they do their introductions. Some small amount of trepidation can be detected from her when Isadora talks about death. Apparently Eugenia isn’t a big fan of death.

Eugenia raises her hand after Hawk’s introduction, “Will we be needing school-issued IDs, Hawk, sir? Also I’ll let you know if I see any unsafe behavior”

[satan]

"Though I am not the authority on the matter, Miss Cooley, I would think not. There are too few students here to require IDs.

"However, you are welcome to bring it up with the principal, if you are still concerned about it."

[Panda]

Kameron laughed: a deep, resounding sound that easily filled the classroom. "You can all order uniforms later, Eugenia, don't worry. We're a little underprepared ourselves, honestly. Whole new school and all that. However, we will be enforcing a dress code eventually. In a week or so, maybe. We won't be super strict with it, but I always say, dressing well is the first step to living well!" His eyes almost imperceptibly flicked to one of his co-workers, in particular his shoes, before returning to look over the students.

[Doctor Nanjo M.D.]

“Oh no, thank you. Hawk, sir! I think we are responsible enough without IDs. Right everybody?” She looks around. “Wow there really is so few of us! This is so cool!”

She breathes a sigh of relief as Mr. Fields confirms that uniforms can come later, “Thanks for being understanding to me and my classmates Mr. Fields. I’ll make sure we get them soon!”

Realizing she is taking time from other introductions, Eugenia mimes zipping her lips and folds her arms behind her back (not to say another word for the duration of introductions).

[mec]

A short red-headed girl with long messy hair places her hands on her knees and pushes to stand up. She pushes her glasses into place with her right index finger and tugs on the collar of her black shirt. She gives a half wave before speaking.

"Hella Helvig, Ultimate Paleontologist. Uniform was too nice to be working in dirt with, so I didn't wear it."

Hella tilts back and falls into her seat. She folds on leg over the other. "Weather's nice today."

[JaytheBluPirate]

“Heh, Mr. Fields, yer are a buster, alright.” A male student commented after he had finished observing his homeroom teacher.

From looking at him, you could easily tell that he’s likely the oldest of the students with stubble on his face. The boy’s choice of outfit seems to make him stand out from the other students. His outfit seems to be a gray button-down shirt, dark blue trousers, and black cowboy boots with spurs. Over his outfit was a brown frock coat that had its last good day around a couple or so years ago as it was worn-out. Around his neck was a red bandanna and on top of his unkempt brown hair was a black cowboy hat. His eyes were green; green like emeralds. And his skin was fair; not too pale nor too tan.

Overall, he looks like a cowboy who was plucked from the Wild West and placed in modern times.

“Howdy, it’s an honor ter attend this school that folks have been talking about back hum. Let’s get along so we can have a good school year.” He greets the others by tipping his cowboy hat down a bit and gives a warm smile.

The boy pushes aside one side of the coat to reveal that he has a gun holster strapped around his waist. He reaches in and pulls a revolver out from the holster. He then started twirling his gun around on his finger, not even dropping it. Finally, the boy puts the revolver back in the holster.

“Name’s Marston… Calvin Marston. And I’m the… What was it that the school labeled me as? Ultimate Cowboy...? Yes, that’s my talent.” The cowboy said as he tipped his hat down once again.

Calvin Marston
Ultimate Cowboy

[satan]

"Mr. Marston." Hawk overrode the topic quietly, calmly. "While I do respect your skills, I must ask that you forfeit your weapon to me. After all, we do not want to run the risk of it accidentally triggering, even at your hip."

He held out his hand for the weapon, his eyes not leaving Calvin's even for a second.

[JaytheBluPirate]

Calvin didn't say a single word as he unstrapped his gun holster before placing it in Hawk's hand. He looks back at the other students.

"Please pray tell why Hawk here have ter take my cannon away. Is there something that I didn't know about?" He asked, an eyebrow raised, completely oblivious to what really was going on in the world.

[pancakes]

An incredibly normal-looking young man sauntered over to the bright and blinding talent that had already arrived. He seemed meek and out of place, which is natural for someone who wasn't attending or working at St. Hope's School in the first place. His shirt seemed wrinkled and worn, and his hair was frazzled and sticking out on all ends. Stress sweats stained his shirt and streaked across his face. In his right arm was a comically large and expensive-looking suitcase, nearly bursting open with how full it was. In his left arm was a worn-out and full briefcase, full of papers and documents that would escape the tattered storage device at the slightest movement.

"O=Okay," he stammered, clearly out of it. "Got his clothes...casual polo for lunch, and a dress shirt for the evening."

His suitcase did a little jiggle, either out of happiness or because it was about to explode.

"His travel documents...registration papers..."

His briefcase wiggled and squirmed.

"...And all of his action figures."

Suddenly, an avalanche of action figures shot out of the suitcase. The flashy name: Torpedo Man, featured presently on each poorly packaged box, containing a toy of the super iconic hero who can shoot out torpedoes from his hands. Everyone could probably recognize the actor who played Torpedo Man. Sugita Hideo is a stunner -- a groundbreaking action star featured prominently in international films all over the world, despite his heritage. Sugita Hideo was revered by critic circles, lame cinephiles, cosplayers, sweaty comic-book movie fans, and teenage Twitter girls who made fancams all day.

Meanwhile, the loser carrying all of Sugita's stuff was buried under the mass of all the action figures. If he weren't dead, he was certainly unconscious. His lanyard with a name tag stuck out of his living corpse: Ige Tsutomu, assistant to the Ultimate Movie Star.

A tall girl shuffles on her feet at the back of the crowd of students, aquamarine eyes glued to the floor in-between furtive glances at the the other people in the room. An uneven mess of auburn hair frames her face and falls to her shoulders, swaying with her nervous fidgeting and constant looking about. She reaches up to adjust the oversized, round silver glasses sitting on top of her freckle-covered nose, bumping it with a hand all but covered by the sleeve of her blue knit sweater, her hands then returning to smoothing over the black pleated skirt peeking out from beneath her wooly outerwear.

"U-um..." Her voice cracks as she starts to speak, her eyes going wide as her gaze flits between Calvin's actual gun and the young man drowning in a sea of collectibles.

"Hi, I'm, uh... Yves. Yves Clemont. It- It's nice to meet you all, and uh," she chuckles, out of nowhere, in the middle of her introduction and clears her throat, staring back down at the pastel pink and blue laces of her blue canvas shoes, "Yeah. That's it." She nods awkwardly to punctuate the end of her introduction, biting her lip and looking around with a mix of absolute fear and anticipation writ all over her face.

"Oh, shoot, right, I'm, um, the Ultimate Yu-Gi-Oh! Player, I-I guess. That's... what some people say online, at least- it's, uh, silly, I know. I probably shouldn't even be here... I, um, thank you, er, uh, sorry? I'm done..."[#spoiler=Yves Clemont][/spoiler]

[NIKI]

A girl with long black hair kept looking back and snickering quietly at the mess created by the massive amount of action figures. Until she noticed someone else had spoken and she snapped out of it.

She quickly stood up and bowed lightly, smiling.

"Hello! My name is Su-Ah. Everyone here... has a unique sense of style! I like it. I've been taking notes." She side-eyed the Assistant a little bit.

"Bunny girl! You'll be pleased to know I also received a uniform." Su-Ah twirled around, showing off an outfit that looked absolutely nothing like a uniform.

"I am, however, known as the Ultimate Seamstress... So I thought of doing a little show and tell on the first day. What do you think?? I can make yours look like whatever you want, too."

Smiling, she sat back down and turned to face the Yu-Gi-Oh player.
"Oooh... your name sounds really European. What's Yu-Gyoh? :)"

Yves blinks owlishly as she turns slightly towards Su-Ah, looking around hurriedly to confirm that, yes, she was the one being talked to, as if the question would be posed to anyone else. "Oh, um, thank you?" She stammers out, hands balling into fists on top of her tights-covered thighs. "Y-your name is, really... p-pretty. I think..."

"Yu-Gi-Oh!'s a card game, that you play, with, uh, cards-" She takes a second to cringe at herself before trying to act like a normal person again, "You battle the other player with the monsters and spells and stuff in your deck of cards, it's, you know, a nerd thing..."

[Panda]

"Oh!" Kameron was taken aback by the deluge of action figures, but then quickly rushed over to help the poor assistant. "Hey, stay with me!" he said, shaking Ige with perhaps a bit too much force. "Need to head to the infirmary? I can show you the way.

"Oh and uh, where is Sugita anyhow?"

[Kachu]

From the corner of the room, through all of the commotion of someone nearly dying underneath a massive pile of figurines, a figure emerges, taking their turn in the little introduction spotlight.

They walked slowly and silently, their hair flowing behind them like water. With light gray roots that seamlessly turn a deep blue at the tips. Their hair almost touched the floor they were standing on. Their face and figure were hidden underneath a large black coat, with an excessively large collar. The sleeves hanged down past their hands, and between the coat and their hair, you could barely see any expression on their face. Though, it would be difficult to miss them, given how striking their bright orange eyes were.

“Hello!" A cheerful, somewhat feminine (but barely) voice flows out from beneath the coat's collar. They raise one arm, and wave their hand to the rest of the group, the oversized sleeve wagging as they do so. "Greetings, future friends!" They bow, with their arms to their side. Quickly, they shoot back up, regaining their superb posture.

_{“My name..? Yes, right!”} They mumble to themselves somewhat quietly.
“I am Mikoto Koizumi. It is an honour to be in the presence of such talented individuals.”

Mikoto looks across the crowd, their eyes lighting up with glee at each and every other warm body present in the room. “Why, my heart is simply fluttering, being in such renowned company! Just as the lone caterpillar feels when surrounded by adorable mice gleefully gorging themselves on sunflower seeds, I feel the same.”

Mikoto absentmindedly brushes the stray chunk of blue hair off the side of their head, with their large sleeve, opposite of it is a lone blue and black earring- mirroring their coat’s design. “It is unlikely anyone here would have knowledge of the situation from my home. My family, has, for generations, been esteemed bladesmiths. As such, that is the talent I am recognized here for. Although I also skilled in the sword art taught by my family. Please do not underestimate me!”

Mikoto Koizumi
Ultimate Bladesmith

“It’s an extreme honour to be here with you all!” They leave it there with a quick nod, still full of energy.

A taller but slightly lankier man in comparison to Kameron stands up from a folding chair where the staff people were sitting. Dressed in a checkerboard grey blazer and matching dress pants, along with a cozy-looking scarf covering a charcoal-colored turtleneck, his face wears the expression of someone with cautious contemplation, with a wisp of excitement floating in his eyes. "What excellent introductions. And here I was worried there would be silence."
[#spoiler=Korrigan Magno][/spoiler]

"I was hoping to make some big personal anecdote after everyone else introduced themselves, but the infirmary is getting occupied faster than we can get acquainted." he wisecracks, clearing his throat.

"My name is Korrigan Magno, but if you call me anything consistently enough, I will oblige. I look forward to hearing what composition you all end up referring to me as. That is to say...I am the music teacher and jazz band instructor." Korrigan concludes with a light bow before turning to Kameron and Ige.

"I can take him to the infirmary if you wish to continue hosting introductions." Korrigan offers Kameron.

"Oh, uh, thanks." Faye replied, making eye contact with the wall directly behind Su Ah.

"This is fine though, I think. I don't really care what I wear." said the girl with rabbit ears on her head.

"A nerd thing that one must play with cards... And you're the best at it! Tell me, Yves, do the cards have cute little monster characters and illustrations?" Su-Ah stared at Yves awaiting a response until Mikoto introduced themself.

Her jaw dropped slightly, eyes fixed on their coat.

"We'll speak later, Yves...."

She did not hear any of the presentation, or anything after it, as she quickly walked over and clutched Mikoto's oversized sleeves in her own hands.

"I can fix this for you. Do you want me to fix these sleeves? I can make them the correct length for your body." Su-Ah stared directly into their soul.

[pancakes]

"S-Sugita..." Ige whimpered, still feeling the force of over one hundred action figures collapsing onto him. "Sugita..?"

Ige, still dazed and confused on the floor, seemed to regain some of his composure after hearing that name.

"Sugita...Sugita..!"

All of a sudden, Ige leapt up, full of vigor.

"Sugitaaaaaa! You bastard!"

Ige began to panic, going back and forth to anyone he could find that was near him at the time. "Where is that idiot?! Are you telling me he's not here yet?! I certainly don't see him!"

“Erm, ahaha…!” Mikoto laughs awkwardly and jumps back at the sudden encounter. “There’s no need, friend!” They wave their arms, one more than the other given that their sleeve is being held onto. “I like my coat just as it is. It is my favourite.”

_{“Though I don’t mean to deny you a chance to display your talents… hrmm… that wouldn’t be particularly friendly of me…”} They begin to mumble, looking down and averting Su-Ah’s gaze. “Perhaps we can work something else out once we’re all finished here? I’d love to see you soar, high into the sky, overflowing with creative ability and talent..!” Even though she just wanted to trim their sleeves, it seems like Mikoto made denying her a bigger deal than it really is.

Mikoto also coughs as Ige screams to god. But they don’t pay more attention than that. Not yet, anyways.

Between the antics of the literal revolver being drawn (though not to shoot, thankfully), the poor assistant being completely drowned by a sea of action figures, and a minimum of two people with strange ears, there sat a young man off to the side, quietly watching the various students and staff introduce themselves. He nervously bounced his leg up and down, a bit nonplussed by the casual talk of death being nothing to fear, causing him to scoot his seat just a biiit further away from Isadora.

After a few moments, though, something occurred to him. No matter how many people introduced themselves, he'd be the one next in line. He would have to introduce himself eventually. May as well get it done with now. Like ripping off a band-aid, right? A band-aid where everyone was staring at you, watching you speak, not to mention that everyone else's talents seemed so much neater than his mundane one... Paranormal Investigator, Cowboy, Bladesmith?! God, coming here was a mistake, wasn't it? Well, regardless, it was too late to turn back now.

He sighed and swallowed down the lump in his throat, trepidation noticable in his expression as he stood up and meekly stepped forward. He was rather short -- definitely one of, if not the shortest male students in the room -- and youthful looking, with somewhat pale skin, though said pale skin was rather flushed red with embarrassment at the moment. He had a head of messy, medium-length black hair, and big emerald green eyes that seemed to be permanently locked in a perpetual doe-eyed expression. His attire was rather simple -- a black jacket over a white shirt and green tie, with dark blue jeans and brown loafers to go along with it. Hey, Faye wasn't alone in wearing a sort of uniform!

He sighed as he felt people's gazes fall on him, and as he stuffed his hands in his pockets, he finally mustered the courage to speak.

"F-Felix," he squeaked out, his voice catching at the end of his name. He took a moment to clear his throat, and tried again. "S-Sorry, I'm just, um, not good with crowds... A-Anyways, um, hi. I'm-- I'm Felix. Felix Nadeau. I... guess I'm the Ultimate Chef. I wouldn't really call myself ultimate, but, um, that's what I came here to study, and-- and it's the one thing I'm kinda sorta good at, I think, and I wanna get even better, soooo..."

Felix shook his head and lightly bit his tongue to stop himself. Dammit, he was rambling again.

"... I-I'll, um, I'll shut up now. Thank you for listening..." he meekly said as he stepped back. That went a bit better than expected. Or so thought, at least. Hopefully Ige's screeching drew some attention away from him...

Felix Nadeau

Su-Ah's eyes widened, flattered. "You preach true, honest words! I am the most talented woman in the world, after all." She let go of Mikoto's coat and flipped her hair.

"I was just worried about your coat being an inconvenience somehow... since it's a purposeful show of self-expression (and your favorite), there is nothing to fix. If you ever want me to demonstrate my abilities, I can simply make another garment for you :)"

She started to walk back to her seat as Felix introduced himself. She stared at him for a bit. Unclear if it was aimed at him or not, a tiny, little giggle left her mouth.

Then she went back to scribbling on her notebook, paying no mind to anything else because this is my third post.

"We'll speak later, Yves...."

Yves's eyes twinkle with something not resembling sadness and/or overwhelmed puppy tears for once, heart leaping at the chance to infodump about her hobby of playing children's card games! "Y-yeah...! There's tons of cute little monsters, and stuff, the art is actually one of the main things a lot of people like about the-" Her rambling was cut off by Su-Ah's interjection and departure, the spark in her eyes fizzling out as she turned and walked away.

"Oh, uh, yeah. Bye..." She offers a weak smile while the other girl is already gone, her posture slumping as she sits there, twiddling her thumbs. After a moment she sighs, biting her lip and leaning forward to hug and bury her face in the satchel sitting on top of her desk.

She tilts her head slightly to look over once the seamstress returns to her seat, but hides her face again before saying anything because I'm out of posts.

[wintercoat]

At some point, a girl with wild, off-pink hair and a few-too-many ear piercings spoke up. “Aha! A bunch of feckin’ weirdos—perfect!” she said with a “delightful” Irish accent. “I suppose it’s my turn to add to the fun. Yer looking at Caitlin Mac Cárthaigh, The Ultimate UFOlogist.”

Tugging on the neck of her green turtleneck sweater before patting down her skirt, she continued. “I didn’t realize this was a school for complete nerds. It’s a term of endearment, though. The normies, they just don’t feckin’ get it.”

Briefly, her gaze shifted to the girl with bunny ears, and she muttered something about the school letting in complete hacks.

[Joker]

After Caitlin finished her introduction another male student stood up.

Like Felix he was also short, but he appeared to be about an inch or so taller than the chef. But that was probably the most normal looking thing about the boy. He had messy light pink hair, and two uniquely colored eyes. One yellow, one green, with a beauty mark right below the green one. He also had a nasty looking scar across his face.

"Oh, crap. We were supposed to have a uniform?" He asked no one in particular. "I don't remember reading anything about that. I feel a bit underdressed now." It's true that the boy probably was, for a fancy new school. He wore an older green sweatshirt, a white t-shirt, some jeans and brown work boots. "Oh well." He chuckled.

"My name's Nico Holden, and I'm the Ultimate Speleologist!" He said excitedly as he gave a friendly smile, and waved with his right hand, which was a prosthetic. "That's the scientific study of caves, in case you've never heard of it before. Not that I'd blame anyone if they haven't." He chuckled again. "It's nice to meet you all! Looking forward to spending the school year with everyone!"
