The High School

[Elario Luminus]

This is where it begins. All here. Here is where your destinies lie.

((The appearance of the Keyblades won't happen until after you've fallen into a dream-like state, in which you will be transported to a black realm, littered with platforms with stained-glass portraits of previous Keyblade owners. That is where you will choose the direct path for you. I will be the voice of everything and nothing. Tifa knows exactly what I'm explaining.))

[Elario Luminus]

Kayle walked through the hallways of the school, empty as they were, for everyone was in class. He walked along, silently, listening to the music blaring in his ears. He was walking quickly; he needed to be somewhere to meet his girlfriend. His oddly organised clothes swept around him with the wind, along with his hair. He walked out into the courtyard and sat down on a bench, and rested his head in his hands.
'Great, you say to meet you here, and you're not here. Bloody nice.'
He sat there for an hour or so, waiting for his girlfriend, who never came out anyway, so he sighed and got to his feet to walk back, when he heard somewhat of an echo.

You are the Wielder of Flame, Priori....

Kayle swayed slightly, and clutched his head.
'Whoa....what was that? Who was that?'
He looked around sharply, and shrugged.
'My imagination, maybe? Dunno, kinda twisted....'
He walked back into the schools hallways, intent on going somewhere quiet and secluded.

((Yup sure do. if you dont, go play kingdom hearts 1, you'll understand within the first five minutes))

Keri was unimportant, the school nobody ((haha, she doesn't know the half of it)). No one noticed her, so no one would care if she disappeared. She had no friends, her foster family never thought she'd amount to anything and her real family must have hated her, because they gave her away as a baby. Thats what she'd been told anyway.
She'd always felt hollow, as if something important was missing, she was odd, strange compared to other kids, so they ignored her.
She didn't care though... she'd never cried in her life... she'd never laughed.

"Move moron!" yelled a boy as he shoved her into her locker door. She didn't retort though. She simply picked up her books and continued in to class. She was used to bad treatment, she had all the scars to prove it.

[Elario Luminus]

Kayle arrived at his somewhat....unintentional destination, and sat down against the wall, one knee bent. He put his head down, but snapped it up again when he heard the yell.
'Move, moron!'
Kayle rushed to his feet, and sprinted across the courtyard at the shouter. Grabbing the back of his shirt, Kayle pulled back and threw him to the ground. Kneeling close to his face, Kayle growled.
'How about you move, dip shit!'
He stood up and bowed down briefly to the girl and walked off.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Keri watched as her assailant was violently taken down a peg or two. She watched the boy who had reacted walk off and didn't so much as utter a word out loud, though in her head she was thanking him over and over.

[Cloud Strife]

Shu Katsu was the guy that everyone liked, but usually only liked as a 'brotherly' figure. He was kind to everyone, normally, and was always smiling. However, even though he acted this way on the outside, on the inside he was completely different.

At home, he preferred to be left alone and secluded. His sunny disposition was completely altered into darkness as soon as he entered his room. Curtains were drawn, the lights were turned off. The whole 9 yards. Currently, however, he was at school, chatting with a few so-called friends. That's when he heard the 'Move, moron!' from a few yards away.

Looking up, he spotted the girl get shoved into the locker but was too slow to do anything about it. Some guy, Priori or something, shoved the 'offender' into the floor and told him to watch it...Huh. Not bad. After saying a few short goodbyes to his friends, he wandered over towards the girl that had originally been assaulted. "You alright, Miss?" He inquired regally, a wink following. Such a nice guy! Well, fora l you knew anyways.

[Tifa Lockhart]

Keri had been about to walk away when she was addressed by one of the most popular guys at the school. Why was he talking to someone like her? It could ruin his reputation.
"Yes, i'm ok..." She said in a timid quiet voice, hugging her books back up to her chest. "No harm done..." She never made eye contact with anyone, because the looks she always received made her feel small and unwanted.

[Elario Luminus]

Kayle walked through the courtyard once more, getting somewhat strange lookes from everyone. Was it because he had just threatened the school bully? Probably.....

No, it wasn't, Priori. And you know it. You are shifting out of this world and into another.....

Kayle clutched his head again.
What's going on with me?!
He saw a brief flash of red and he felt additional weight in his hands.

Opening his eyes just slightly, he saw two of the strangest....objects in his palms.

Then they were gone. Shaking his head, Kayle ran out of the courtyard to the back of the school, where there was a way to get to the rooftops. He climbed up, and sat at the edge of the wall, looking at his hands.
'What in the name of the River Styx is going on with me?'

[Sparkles]

Aliarn had had enough. She'd only just arrived in class and the teacher had already started yelling at her for disruption. She stood up, grabbing the few books that she'd only just layed down and heading back for the door.
"Where do you think you're going Miss Kundrow?!"
She stopped briefly, "It's Taz, And I 'think i'm going' Out" and walked through the door.
The teacher didn't follow her or continue yelling. After the first few weeks of her being present... or absent as it was at the school, they'd given up attempting to keep her in class. She got bored quite easily and had a tendency to just walk out.

Arriving back at her locker she shoved her junk back inside and locked the door again before leaving. She had no where to go until the next class began, so she'd just hang around the grounds until then.

((hmm... pity i'm such a video game cripple that i don't even OWN a PS2))

The corridors echoed with the metallic bang of a locker door being slammed shut, and Victor jerked his head up when he heard it. Not two minutes ago, he'd been blamed for launching a spitball at the teacher and made to leave. Not that it bothered him; he'd much rather wander the school than suffer through a Maths lesson. Victor decided to investigate this banging of lockers, out of boredom more than anything else.

As he rounded the corner, he spotted a girl whom he recognised. She was known only as 'Taz'. She'd most likely walked out of her lesson, as she tended to do most of the time. Victor chuckled under his breath and stepped forward, his footsteps echoing hauntingly through the corridors.
"Why am I not surprised that it's you out here?" he asked coolly as he approached.

kiyo sat quietly in her chair at the back of the classroom doodling in her maths book while the teacher droned on about algebra. 'in one ear, out the other' kiyo sighed as she looked out the window, very un-amused. without really knowing what she had drawn, or realising the teacher had walked up behind her to check on her, she practically jumped out of her chair when the teacher barked "whats that?!" pointing down at her book. Lazily, kiyo looked at it to see a strange ... weapon? on her paper. it was covered in flowing intricate patterns with a strange blade. "errr... i 'unno" she frowned at the paper - she seriously wasnt paying attention to anything, let alone the fine piece on her paper. she faced the teacher, showing no expression at all in her glassy blue eyes "umm... can you like... leave me alone?" she turned back to her desk and closed her book "please? im not feeling great" for once she wasnt lying. the brain beneath her infamously spiky short hair was pounding against her skull. at last she couldnt take it. she pulled her things together in her arms and walked out of the classroom, not caring to look back at the gaping teacher ... generally she was a good student but recently her teachers peers and even family had noticed certain changes about her....

[Sparkles]

Aliarn looked over at Victor with a look that wasn't one bit welcoming for convocation. "Maybe you don't get surprised easily." she suggested in a sickeningly sweet yet dull tone as she slipped her locker key into her back pocket. Most of the time people got the hint not to pursue any convocation with her. Not that she gave very subtle hints. She could walk out of a classroom easily but she had a problem with walking away from talking to people. She despised talking with them but hated talking to no one. It was always a hard balance to find.

[Dante Sparda]

Victor closed his eyes and chuckled under his breath.
"Not much of a conversationalist, are you, Taz?" he laughed, glancing at her again. This time, his attention was caught by something extraordinary. Not one second ago, her hands had been empty. This time, she was holding the strangest looking object. It looked almost like a cross between a sword and a key...

Returning to the real world, Victor clutched his head and stumbled slightly. "Whoa... What the hell was that?" he mused, looking at Taz again. The sword thing had vanished. Shaking his head, Victor returned his attention fully to Taz and waited for her reaction.

[Sparkles]

Taz had felt something in her hands for a moment but by the time she had looked down there had been nothing. "What the hell was what?" she asked in an exasperated voice. She didn't like this one bit. Instead of driving him off he'd suddenly seemed to become more interested. She glared at him out of habit but suddenly got an idea. "The thing that was just in my hands, you mean?"
