What Lies Within || Something Evil is Stirring ((O & A))
What Lies Within James Carrington College dates back to the 18th century. Due to this it has a long and mysterious past. The college in nestled in the quiet hills of West Virginia at a small town named Rosewood. The West Virginia mountain and hill lands have always been blanketed with mystery and bizarre happenings. So colleges like this one are known for keeping things that happen there from the eyes of the public. For the past 100 years there have been rumors that several of the buildings on campus are haunted. The oldest building that is rumored to be haunted is Wise Hall which is the Art departments building, second oldest is Suter Hall which houses the Technology department and the third building is Klein Hall, which is the Auditorium and also is the newest building on campus other then two of the dorms. Wise Hall was built in 1804 and has always been the art departments building. In 1868 Suter Hall was erected and originally was for the English department, but since has become the Technology departments building. Klein Hall, built in 1913, was built and dedicated it the theater professor at the time by his family. He didn’t want the building to be named after him. ***More of the history of the college will be revealed within the rp itself. Once pieces of the puzzle are revealed I’ll add them to the third post so if you want to reference to something you don’t have to go digging through a ton of pages to find it. *** Present Day It’s a new school year at James Carrington College and the rumors of the haunting have spread to the freshmen class. A group of friends, who have an interest in the paranormal, have decided to investigate the stories that have been going around for a century. They didn’t really expect to find much of anything. When they played back the recording from their first investigation they were in for the surprise of their lives for there is something sinister lurking in Klein Hall. |

What Has Been Uncovered About James Carrington College's History Nothing new yet. (new information will be added above old information) |
Accepted Profiles Students Username: blueblackrose Character Name: Stormy Alexis Reinhardt Age: 18 Type: Student Year: Freshmen Major/Department/Alignment: Game Art and Design Bio: Stormy has always been an outcast no matter what. It was something she could never understand and stopped trying to after a while. During her senior year of high school she didn’t know if she should laugh or what when a girl that she had been going to school with almost her entire life told her “I never knew you were so nice.” This caused her to wonder again if maybe what one of her ex-friends had said was true. When she thinks about this it bothers her since if it was then maybe she didn’t know herself as well as she once thought she did. She has always had an interest in the paranormal due to being sensitive to it. So she often hears and feels things. Sometimes she also sees them, but that is very rare. Of course when choosing a college to go to she wanted to somewhat be close to home since her grandparents weren’t well. She also wanted to choose a school that had what she wanted to major in. The fact that James Carrington College also was suppose to be haunted was just an added bonus for her when she applied to the school. Appearance: http://www.meido-rando.net/public/ts...ohsaka_rin.jpg Other: Stormy can be moody at times and is very shy until she gets to know someone. She enjoys music, art, reading, writing, larp (live action role play), anime, hiking and a few other things. She hates lies and people that break promises. Sometimes she can be too honest for her own good. Quote:

It had been her elder brother Nathanial’s idea to use some of the money their grandparents had willed to them to construct a building in honor of their father and his work. Of course the school liked the idea and gave the ok. She wasn’t sure it was a good idea, but went along with it. It wasn’t long after the building was complete that her mother Emily became ill. So she along with her family moved into her parent’s apartment, which was in the same building as the auditorium, to help take care of her mother. After about 2 years Alana’s mother lost her fight with cancer. They continued to live in the apartment with her father who seemed to be going mad.

So...are we going to start the game soon?

((Yeah, just been really busy yesterday and today. I finally found time to get some typing in))
The past week had been hot and muggy now the weather was the opposite cold and wet. The rain was a welcome sight since the summer had been very dry. The forecast called for severe thunderstorms and high winds which came along with a tornado watch. Just like the weather man had said on the TV earlier this morning the wind was howling outside and the sky was growing darker. Stormy left out a sigh. Maybe it’ll hold off until after I get to class. Days like this made one not want to go to class, but stay in where it was warm and dry, but she didn’t want to miss any classes. Especially since they have only been in them for a week. Besides she loved thunderstorms. The lightening was beautiful yet frightening. It also made a great challenge for her photography skills. Stormy yawned lightly as she finished getting ready to leave her dorm room. She quickly put on her red shirt with a white cross, jeans and black boots before putting her hair up. With high winds there was no way she would leave it down to get blown into a giant mess. After she finished putting her hair up she double checked her schedule along and bag to make sure she wasn’t forgetting anything. “That should be it then,” she said putting her small wallet with her ID and room key into her pocket. She put her messenger bag on her shoulder and left heading towards Wise Hall for her first art class of the day. |
Meilin looked over to her clock "Oh i am going to be late" she exclaimed when she realized she only had a few minutes before her class in Wise Hall started. She closed her computer and packed her bag. She ran to her closet and grabbed the jacket and flew out the door. She was in such a rush she forgot her umbrella and it was storming out. Aww crap! I am so going to get drenched she thought. It no longer mattered as she took off sprinting to class.
meilin jumped at the sound of thunder crashing. "Oh i hate storms" she whined as she arrived to her classroom. Just in time she thought with a heavy sigh. She always loses track of time when she is in her musical mood. Meilin had a tendency to be late a lot. She walked over to her favorite seat and sat down. There was another crash of thunder and Meilin winced. |
Draka Nostrovv "Hmmm. What nice weather we're having today." Draka's British accent lingered in the air, and then disappeared. Of course, it was a nice day for her. She was referring to the thundering storm outside. It looked absolutely dreadful. Putting her hand to her ear, she listened for footsteps. Draka found it perfectly hilarious when she scared the students from coming to Wise Hall ever again. Or, when they tried to find the beautiful singing voice that just kept avoiding them. Draka's head snapped up as she heard a student's footsteps coming into Wise Hall. She debated over whether she should scare them or confuse them. It was a bit too early for frightening people, so she chose to confuse them. Stepping away from the main hall and slipping into a room, she closed the door and began singing, giggling to herself. Hmm, I wonder what their reactions will be...! |
Finx walked to class slowly. It would be an interesting year she was trying to get threw school and not get killed at the same time plus as an added bonus she needed to find her brother. Finally she got to her class and took a seat with a heavy sigh and took out her notebook. The notebook was more for her apservations around school but it also made her look like she was taking notes."

Scarlett's faint image sat in the art room humming and singing as she painted a portrait of a beautiful swan on an even more beautiful lake. The swan had huge, wispy feathers and the head of the swan was curved perfectly. She stopped singing to admire her picture, frowning at the image. "It's a shame the swan can never find her love, for he's already dead." She whispered, sighing to herself and continuing to paint.
|
Meilin wasn't very good with school. She mostly concentrated on her music. As the classroom filled up with students she took out her note book and began composing a new song. Meilin was pretty good at composing music. She was always told she would make a good composer someday. Meilin started to dig for an eraser but could not find one. Meilin leaned over to the girl next to her who had a book out and asked "Hey do you have an eraser?"

Alice was glad that she'd chosen to err on the side of caution and wear her rain boots. She always had a parasol or an umbrella with her, so that hadn't been an issue. Her pale hair was in twin braids hanging over her shoulders today, which kept it from becoming an untamable mess in the howling wind. She was on her way to her voice class, she'd only had time to warm up a little before leaving this morning.
The looming structure that was Klein hall appeared before her, and she paused for a brief moment to stare at it. It looked similar to the music building at her old campus, but something told her it wouldn't be the same inside at all. She exhaled a deep breath, and continued her walk into the building and out of the rain. |
Yuuki could hear Draka trying to freak out another student. She didn't like that. She entered the room and floated straight up to draka "What are doing this time?" she asked her a bit angry. "You shouldn't frighten these poor students" she exclaimed. "ugh!" She hated the evil spirits around here. She disappeared shortly after yelling at Draka and went off into the music practice room that she spent most of her time peacefully.
|
Her boots squeaked on the laminated floor of the hallway. She checked her favorite room, one in the very back of the building and a little away from the others, and found it to be empty. Alice hurried into the small room, and closed the door behind her. She took a few minutes to lay down her umbrella, unpack her bag, and get settled for her voice exercises.
Even though it was an elective, the choir class she was taking counted toward her minor. She was supposed to present a piece to sing a cappella. It was going to count as a fourth of her final grade this semester, or so she'd been told. She was contemplating which piece to do as she warmed up. |
Yuuki saw a girl come into the room. She was looking at pieces of music to sing. One of the peices was familiar to her. Yes it was the very same piece she did when she was in College. She whispered into the girls ear "I'd pick that one" she said lifting the one up.
Meilin kept digging for an eraser. "Ah there you are." she said pulling out a small worn out eraser. "Never mind" she said to the girl next to her and she began on her music piece again. |
Draka sighed after Yuuki left. "Ahh, spirits these days. No fun." Straightening the bow in her hair and walking slowly and dramatically towards the center of the room she had chosen, she spun around in a circle. Then, she opened her mouth, and a beautiful, yet eerie song came floating out of her mouth. Draka was quite gifted. She would've gone on to become a famous opera singer or something of the sort if she just hadn't been murdered...

Alice thought she saw movement and when she look down one of the musical pieces she'd been contemplating was on the floor. She picked it up and looked it over. It was "Habanera" from "Carmen". She grinned it was a combination of music arranged by Oscar Hammerstein II, based on Georges Bizet's original. She grinned. She felt confident enough to do the piece.
She cleared her throat, took a drink of water, and warmed up once more before starting her practice of the piece. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfwDAfXsOPg |
Finx sighed and followed her senses and went to the music room. She spotted a large grand piano and smiled happy. She sat done and listened well the other played. Soon she couldn't resist any longer and played along with the tune. She had loved trick and treat for a while now and played it easily.
((I love trick or treat. I have a version I like better beacause something happens. Its the reborn version its awsome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb6fSiMBbv4 |
Yuuki sat back. She wanted to hear this girl sing the piece. It was one of her favorite songs. She remember back to her last night as a human she had performed this song. It made her happy to hear someone else to sing it.
((sorry i haven't post much and not at all yesterday. I am having some really big issues at home)) |
((Sorry that I haven’t posted since last weekend. Things have been really busy at home for me and I really haven’t had the time to reply to all my rps or even be online. I should have more time to after Easter weekend. I’ll also work on a map so you guys will know the layout of the campus.))
Stormy entered Wise Hall. She jumped slightly at the loud crack of thunder that seemed to make the old stone building shake. “That is the only thing I hate about storms.” Ever since she was little she had always had sensitive hearing and loud noises always caused her to jump or cringe, covering her ears. She hurried up the stairs to go to her classroom on the third floor. Walking down the hall she passed the room where the painting classes were held. She stopped for a moment when she thought she heard a voice. Peeking in the room seemed to be empty even though there was a canvas setting on an easel. “Hello? Someone in here?” Alana sat quietly and listened to the female music student warm up for her practice. “Such a lovely voice,” she mused as she watched the girl. Madeline would have loved this. The smile on her face faded at the thought of her daughter. Even though she was slightly frowning a look of determination was in her eyes. “Something like that will never happen again.” Her voice was louder then usually and almost anyone would have been able to hear it whether they were sensitive to the paranormal or not. |
((I will have a real RP post up here in a little later this afternoon, it's still early for me, but I'm still playing I promise))
