(This is my first role play on Mene. Please, someone join.)

The War Beings, Again

Over two hundred years a ago, the king of hearts waged war against his own queen. She had fallen for one of her knights and infuriated her king. The king sent his knights to go retrieve his queen from her knights. Her knight refused to hand her over and the war started. The battle waged on with no victor and a cycle or war began.

Now, in 2010, the main forces of the war have been reincarnated as different people over the years. Unfortunately for the king, karma has a sense of humor and he has been reincarnated as a female this turn. The queen and her knights are all gathering at one school, R. J. Shakespeare High. They're memories of their old lives intact, except for the queen who has forgotten which knight she fell in love with. Will the battle run it's course into another cycle or will the war stop here?

R.J. Shakespeare High

R. J. Shakespeare High

~Reserved~

~We are open and needing people!~

Dawn opened her blue eyes slowly as she felt the sun shining in through the window. Her long black hair acted as a curtain as she sat up in her light blue nightgown that hid most of her womanly curves. But the rose mark over her heart showed right through the material. She stretched out her 5'7" frame as she stood up to get dressed for another day with her friends at R.J. Shakespeare High.

The queen walked out of the house in a white sun dress with a sapphire necklace hanging at the start of her cleavage. She drove to school and parked in a spot before walking to the front of the school and looking for her friends. Her eyes shut as she waited and watched everyone walk past her.

Mozuli strode through the crowds in front of the school, a space was made between him and every one of the high school students, for he had quite a disturbing reputation. He smiled broadly, feeling that today was going to be a good day. His dark black hair swished past his eyes, as he noticed Dawn standing alone in front of him. Mozuli slipped into the crowd, unnoticed, and snuck up behind her until he was directly behind her. He grabbed her shoulders and said a sharp "Boo!" with a mischievous grin.

Her eyes grew wide as she felt someone's hands on her shoulders and jumped. Dawn looked around at Mozuli as she started to cry. "Why did you do that?" She asked as she hit his chest and started to cry. The queen looked at him before resting her head against his chest and pouted. "It's not nice." Dawn blushed as she looked away.

Mozuli laughed, putting his arms around her in an embrace. "Aww, you still love me!" He said with a smile. He held her close, and then looked at her. "So!" he looked around "Have you seen the king today?" He whispered.

She blushed as she looked at him and smiled. "No, he's been reincarnated like me. How am I supposed to know what he looks like this time? Besides, I doubt he'll come to this school." Dawn said as she looked at the male students. 'I just want this to end.'

There was a loud roar as the twin exhaust engine of a motorbike could be heard closing in, a woman in a full black bodysuit eventually appeared around the corner down the road some ways before turning into R.J. Shakespeare high. Eva was well known for the sleek black kawasaki vulcan 1500 drifter that she owned, Not to mention the black bodysuit whose back was adorned with a depiction of a piece of paper that had been neatly sliced into three pieces, a thin while line between each gaping wound visible.
She pulled into one of the parking spots for motorcycles, revving the machine one more time with a smirk to herself before she killed the engine and let it cool. Her hands raised to the helmet she more, unclipping the buckle below her head and slipped it off. Her hair was bundled up neatly, held in place by a sleek curved pin, but with one simple tug it was let loose so the obsidian cascade would envelop her shoulders, and stretch down her back, red-painted lips still smirking as she stared around at the other gathered students..
One more day.. She dismounted from the seat of the bike, breaking upon the storage compartment beneath it and pulled out her bag replacing it with her helmet before she shut it and grabbed her keys, slipping them into the chest pocket of the body suit before heading directly to the school, she needed to remove the body suit that covered her casual clothes beneath, though her bag also held her regular jacket, the suit could fit into her locker.
The girl froze for a moment, almost suddenly, turning to look in the direction of Mozuli and Dawn. Images flashed before her, too hazy to pick out, small details, but she knew what she was seeing as she pieced it together.. She twitched, looking away suddenly and putting a hand to her head,
".. Hrm.. Need aspirin.." She muttered and continued onward.

Anora walked into the front office off school, frowning as she passed the people around her. She was still, after 7 years of remembering who she once was, was still getting used to her female body. She did find herself feeling strangely empowered, however, and supposed she didn't mind being Anora Gray, the average High School Girl who had just transferred from her job out of town to the new store opening up here.

She worked in the 'Winged Sword' Cafe that had just opened in town, which was technically run by the descendants of his brother, whose family moved to this country almost 100 years ago. When she had introduced herself as the reincarnation of their great-great uncle, then showed her sword tattoo, it also bearing the wings of the king, which she had square in her back, they had set her up with a waiting job right away.

When she had learned where her queen was, she asked them to open a shop here, and let her work at it. Now, with her first day at this school, she just needed to find the queen, and get to work. In all honesty, Anora didn't know if she was even still a girl anymore, as Anora was once a man, after all.

She put on a small, but controlled, smile as she got to the front desk. "Hello, I'm Anora. I'm the new student that transferred in. I was hoping you might have my schedule for me."

Dawn acted as if a bolt of electricity ran down her spine. The queen shivered as her memories of her husband ran through her head and she closed her scared blue eyes. "Mozuli...he's here." She said softly as she clinged to him and rubbed her face in his chest. Her black hair made her look even more like a ghost as her skin paled. "The cycle needs to stop." A soft voice said as the bell rang for first period.

When she got her schedule, she headed to her first period, wondering if his queen would be there. She wondered if she would recognize her, in her new form. Perhaps her queen would recognize her first, but she doubted it. Inside, she hoped not. All the better to get the jump on her later, if Anora could blend in.

Evalia appeared from one of the locker rooms, having put her body suit away, she was now more casual in appearance, holding a duffel bag in her right hand whilst she placed the palm of her other hand to her mouth, having taken some tablets for her headache. She reached into her bag for a bottle of juice which she used to wash the medicine down, with her headache gone she was looking around curiously but heading to her first class, however found herself stopping to look at a new girl wandering through the halls amongst the others. She didn't recognize them, but felt a strange sensation tingling through her, especially down to her arm.

She pursued the girl slowly and quietly, they were going in the same direction anyway, plus the height advantage she had on this one and most other girls made it easy to track her. She needed to get closer and understand the feeling in her mind, was this person another one? A person from the past like herself? She had gotten these feelings before when encountering others reborn,
"Hey.." Eva spoke placing a hand on Anora's shoulder as she got close enough, turning to look at her, "You're new here, right?" She asked, staring at the girl. A strange feeling in her gut made Evalia want to back off, the very pit of her stomach felt like it was giving way, "Need help finding your first class?"
