((Yay! All 10 places filled! I hope all of you post often, though I'm not pressuring anything. Remember, no godmodding, although I'm sure none of you will. We'll start when I come back, I'm going out, will be back in an hour and a half. Cya all soon.))
((EDIT: back, and I'm starting, finally!))
Aquila's green eyes widened in disbelief. She was here at a Performing Arts Academy that supported both Nox and Dies, AND another god. Or rather, goddess.
Stepping rather carefully forward, Aquila raised her hand slightly. "Um, Miss Iaran, and Miss Baalinda, why exactly are we here?" Stuttering out of nervousness, Aquila didn't dislike people that supported Nox, she was just afraid that they would dislike people that supported Dies.
But Aquila had never been a dedicated supporter of Dies, she believed that people should be able to choose whatever god, or goddess, they wished to support. And not be forced into a decision.
Miss Iaran glared at the girl slightly, then her face softened into a smile. "You are here because you are the best students of the Performing Arts. It does not matter to us which god you believe in, and I am sure that some of you will eventually support Diluculo, once you know more about her. But let's have no more talk of that for now, I'm sure many of you are hungry, and we have a small feast prepared to welcome you all."
Leading the way, with Baalinda by her side, Iaran walked through the large stone hallway until she reached a doorway on the side. Which she quickly stepped through.
Aquila was quick to follow, and soon entered a small dining hall with a large table in the centre. The table was round, and had many chairs around it. In the centre, a revolving island held many delicious food products. And Aquila soon sat down next to Iaran, who in turn sat next to Baalinda.
Turning to face her Iaran smiled, and Aquila smiled back happily, "Nice you meet you Iaran, and you too Baalinda, my name is Aquila, and I like singing." Baalinda held out her hands widely, "Well, you shall not have to sing for your supper here, let us dig in."
((Lol, bad play on words
))

Ariah gazed around at the people who sat at the table, and then she turned to look at the two teachers, Miss Iaran and Miss Baalinda. Surely they all seemed nice, but how could they just take her away like that? Ariah missed her grandmother more than ever and she felt a hard pressure on her throat as she was about to burst into tears. She wasn't the least hungry and as she reached for a bread piece to nibble on and swallowed to keep her from crying a tear fell down her cheek and onto the table.

((First, darn this windows, with Clippy and his beedy little eyes))
Ella glared at the teachers over her food. She did not care to be taken from her house, to come to a school like this. She missed her room and the temple, both large and beautiful. And the other children, how she knew she would not like them. She did not want to worship anyone but Dies. She knew that Nox was a false god. She had always been told so, even the wisest men and woman said so. So it had to be true. Carefully, she took a bite out of her turkey, as if to make sure that it wasn’t poisoned.
((Well, if it isn't Little Miss Sunshine.))
((*Jumps up and down*
I can play a teacher too, or a town person!
(I know, I think I got a little to into character while playing Bottom once in A Midsummer Nights Dream.)
(We switched roles from scene to scene, so I was Bottom once, but different roles also.) ))

Moira glanced around the room and then down at her food. She couldn't believe that she was now at a school.... and without her step family. Her stepbrother wasn't by her side now and her step mother and father weren't there for her. She was with complete strangers now.
Moira looked up at the two headmistresses and then a new thought sprung into her head. Maybe being here wasn't that bad after all. She was sure that she would be able to see her step family later. But for now, she was here, at the Performing Arts Academy. Ah, how she loved to dance... maybe she could improve. Suddenly a smile spread across her face. Then she picked up a glass of juice before her and took a sip. True, there were other people here whom did not believe the same as she, but she did not really care.

Aquila looked around as the table slowly filled with people. Some looked rather upset that they had been brought here, and others looked happy, like she was. One girl in particular, looked positively miserable, smiling hopefully Aquila shuffled over a few chairs to talk to her. ((I'm talkin' bout Ariah btw))
Holding out a delicate hand in greeting, Aquila smiled, revealing pearly white teeth. "Nice to meet you. I'm Aquila. I hope you don't mind me sitting next to you or anything, you just looked like you needed a friend. I like singing, what's your talent?"
* * * * *
Elily sat at the table, rolling her eyes slightly, then settling into an uncomfortable glare. How dare these teachers take her away from the temple, and drag her here with these people... these people that supported... Dies. She shuddered just thinking of the horribly false god that some of the others followed.
Oh well, she would just have to focus on dancing. After all, dancing was everything to her, it was important, even more important then her life. She hated her parents for pushing her, and only believing that she had to live up to their standards. But now she understood what they had meant when they said that she had a talent for dancing, after all, only the best people could come here.
Picking at a bit of turkey, Elily ate little, and simply observed the other students. She hoped that some could dance as well as she, of course, they would not be able to dance better than her, that was impossible.
((Aww man, I'm bad at characters that aren't my own. I hope I made Elily fit her character, and that Glass comes back and rps with her soon.))
((Btw, I think we have too many singers, we have 6 singers, 2 dancers and 2 gymnasts. Maybe we could even the numbers a little? If not, that's okay too.))

Ariah got quite surprised as she was in her own world when the girl approached her and sat down beside her. She quickly pulled her head up and put the bread she held in her hand down on the wooden table. You could see that she basically had eaten one crumb at a time. Ariah felt ashamed that she couldn't show more appreciation for the food they had provided her and the others.
"I... I mean...no, it's okay if you sit there." she said hesitatingly.
"My name is Ariah, and I sing too." she continued as she shook Aquilas hand. Ariah wasn't able to bring herself to smile though.
As she pulled her hand back she reached for the bread and started to nibble on it again, determined not to even try to cry again, not one single tear.
((Oh, almost forgot to say this I think it would be good if we evened out the numbers of the singers, dancers and gymnasts. Though I still want to sing 
lol, aren't I the egocentric one or what?))

((Editted my talent to Gym to even it out))
Caesar was a bit reserved, hanging at the back of the group, hands in pockets. He looked down towards the ground, whilst walking towards the door. He looked at the two headmistresses, they seemed weak, but why had they brought him to this island? Well, if it truly was a dance school as they say, then he was glad. It would give him a chance to show how much better than everyone else he was.
Caesar walked inside and looked round. A wooden table, seats, but the most impressive site was the enormous amounts of food in the centre. Caesar sat down at the table, away from anyone else. He looked round, to see if others had started eating. When he noticed they had, he grabbed a slice of turkey of the table, and a rather large bite into it. Struggling to swallow, he laid it down on the table in front of him, whilst taking a drink to try and ease the food down.
Caesar looked at the people round him. He recognised a few of the people, about 3 or 4, from his community, he had seen them in Nox's shrine, but the other people he had never seen before, they must be supporters of Dies. He hid a laugh at the fools. He knew that Dies was a false god, and that supporters of her were chasing hollow fantasies. Caesar was more confident than ever that he would excel at this school.
((Yes, Caesar is very arrogant, and very self-concerned))

[You did her wonderfully enough, ria, thank you! I am in your debt. ^_^ ]
[However, I don't think you should force anyone to change talents. Maybe you can stop accepting singers, but accept gymnasts and dancers instead?]
Elily quietly ate her meal, noting that it was indeed quite delicious. Her annoyance with everyone else faded away unconsciously, as she focused on eating, and only that. Frankly, she couldn't be bothered with them.

Moira picked up a roll of bread and bit into it while thinking about the people around her. She noticed that someone had already started talking to another and she figured that she should do the same right about now. But the growling in her stomache delayed it for a while as she ate a piece of turkey and finished off her bread roll. Moira then got up and walked over to an empty seat by Ella and carefully sat down.
She smiled at the girl and friendly said "Hi, my name's Moira. What's yours? Getting here was quite sudden, was it not? But I think that we'll enjoy it here... what's your talent?"

Deciding that she had eaten enough, Elily leaned back on her chair. One girl looked as if she was ready to cry. She appeared to be hardly eating, if a little impact like this is enough to effect her in such a way, well, she was going to have a hard time in the future. Elily shook her head a little, as the friendly-looking girl named Aquila came over and introduced herself to the crybaby. She watched as the girl brightened up a little and introduced herself as well, as Ariah. Elily secretly hoped that Aquila would manage to cheer Ariah up for good. She really didn't want to spend the rest of her days in the academy with a crying wuss.
[Pardon me for Elily's thoughts. She's supposed to be cranky.]

((Well the rp is closed now Glass, no more students for now. So i was hoping numbers would even out a bit. Now we have 3 gymasts 
Oh, and I think I shall skip along to room allocations soon. I don't want to go super slowly.))
Aquila smiled brightly at Ariah. "Well I guess we'll be in the same class then. I can't wait to see the others' talents, I wonder if we get any fancy costumes, geez that'd be nice." Rambling absent mindedly, Aquila subconsciously began to play with her emerald ring, twirling it around her finger.
Deciding that her food was probably getting cold, she shuffled back over to it and began to wolf down the remains.
* * * *
Iaran and Baalinda both surveyed the students in the room. "They don't look very happy to have been brought here, do they?" Iaran whispered silently.
"No, rather arrogant and egotistic some are too." Baalinda replied.
"Oh well, they'll get used to it here. We can't turn back now, else the prophecy be ruined." Iaran, after her last remark, stood up.
"Students. We will direct you to your rooms after dessert has been finished."
Upon saying this, the inner revolving table sunk low into the ground. And within a few moments came back up, revealing many splendid desserts.
* * * *
Aquila's eyes widened at the addition to the feast. Grabbing a slice of cheesecake, and a glass of mousse. She began scooping spoonfuls into her mouth, she definetely had a rather sweet tooth.

[Hmm, well then, you could always make new freelance characters...because I don't believe in forcing anyone to change their characters.]
Elily picked up a small cup of fruit pudding and stared at it. It was beautiful, with slices of peaches, strawberries, kiwi fruit and honeydew arranged on the pudding, surrounding a red cherry on top. She spooned the pudding and tried it. It was delicious. She finished her dessert, and decided not to have anymore. As a dancer she had to watch what she ate.

((Lol, no problem Glass, your character may thing such things about Ariah ))
While Ariah nibbled on her bread she saw as the desserts were introduced to the students.
"No, I can't act like this. If my granny was here she's tell me to pull myself up and not to be so sad, because the tears would hide my beautiful face" she thought with a smile.
Her grandmother had always given her compliments and that had indeed help build up her self-confidence as it was at a quite low level from the beginning.
She still wasn't hungry and couldn't manage to eat that much, but still she took a small bowl, put some cream on the bottom of it and on top of that she put a couple of cherries and strawberries.
Then she started eating this slowly but steadily convincing herself that whether she was hungry or not she could not let her blood sugar sink too low and give her a head ache.

Caesar continued to eat steadily, watching all the others beadily. There were a few people talking, but his stomach was empty, so Caesar wasn't in the mood for talking. He continued making his way through the food in front of him. When he heard the two headmistresses speaking from his side, he just ignored them. Well, after he heard the word dessert, when he turned his eyes to the rotating platform, waiting for the table to revolve back up, and when it did, Caesar marvelled at the magnificent array of food avalable, before quickly grabbed the first bowl he saw, and tucking into a fresh fruit salad. Lovely.

((Okay. I'm back. Sorry for the absense, but there was a sickness in the family I had to take care of. I have hardly been on PPT at all. I have so many RPs to catch up on. *sigh*))
Turie looked around and watched the other students. She had picked a seat by herself due to her shyness. The girl had chosen a couple different foods from the main course, but was too excited and nervous to each much. As soon as the desserts were introduced to the table, she grabbed a slice of creamy cheesecake topped with fresh strawberries. She delicately ate her cake and watched everyone else. She wondered what their specialties were and then wondered if this academy had a library. She became lost in her thoughts as she reflected on the interesting subjects she could learn about here.
