All of you have gathered underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, just as your mysterious letter said too. It had only been a few minutes before you noticed that someone was under the bridge. He stepped out, and you now see that he is a short man with an auburn beard and tattoos all over his face, neck, and arms. He wears a regular outfit of a plaid shirt, dress shoes, and slacks. But that's when you notice the tattoos are lifting themselves off of his skin and moving around. "Welcome. I am Kelvar, the Academy's caretaker. My boss has requested that I take you to the school." He turned around and led you deeper in. It is dark, dank, and a little smelly. There's trash scattered here and there, and graffiti on the walls. Is this a joke? Just then, Kevlar says something in a strange language you've never heard before and makes a parting motion like pulling away from a curtain, and the messy scene before you melts away to be replaced by a large luscious green lawn leading to a huge white school. All around you are students of all shapes and sizes. Kevlar turns to grin at you. "Welcome to Red Ruby Academy."

Benjamin had nearly scoffed at the original scene, but then stood awestruck, his hands tucked into the pockets of his jeans. His small frame was nearly run over multiple times, but he was able to step out of the way of a few larger students. Glancing at the man who had brought them here, Kevlar by the sounds of it, he took a few nervous steps forwards to look around. Glancing behind him, he didn't see any signs of the filth that had been there earlier.

Kevlar leads you across the lawn. This is normal for the other students, so nobody even gives you a glance. At the huge front doors to the school, you see a taller man with smooth blonde hair in a suit and tie. "Welcome, future students. My name is S. Ferrigan or Principal F. For obvious reasons, I have sought you out so that you may properly learn of the fullest potential within you. All of you are born with special powers that make you peculiar, but here at Red Ruby Academy, Peculiar is the new Normal. Now, our Student Body president, Kyleen, will give you a tour of your new school." Suddenly, out of the shadows steps a slim black haired girl with glasses and a stern expression. "Hello," she says briskly. "As you know, I am Kyleen, and I will be guiding you through this wonder of a school. If you'll follow me?" She turns around and pushes open the doors, leading you inside.

Benjamin slipped quickly through the doors, then caught up to Kyleen. "Erm.. 'Scuze me? Is this a geographical place or is this just..." He trailed off, glancing around the area they'd just entered. "Unreal..." He had a curious little grin on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the walls, the ceiling, anything that he seemed interested in. Which, in turn, was everything. Scratching the back of his neck, a few grey colored hairs fell from his hood. To somebody normal, that might have seemed strange, due to his lack of any grey hair. However, and he smiled at this, nearly nobody seemed to care.

Kyleen looked at him coldly. "If I understand what you are trying to say, then yes, this place is real. It is simply existing within an already existing area. Think of it as, say, an overlap in dimensions. On one plane there is a dirty underway underneath the Brooklyn Bridge, and on this one there is a school for those gifted with magical power." She turned back to what she was doing. She first led them to a huge room with a ceiling that seemed to go on forever. There were couches and a huge fireplace. Students lounged around, floated, flew, whatever struck their fancy. "This is the Meeting Area. It is the main place for," she said with a disapproving look, "recreational activities. You are not allowed to be in here past lights out, and the harpies get testy if you're "hanging out" when they are cleaning. Any questions?"

"Yeah. What are we really learning here?" Boreas stuck a hand in his pocket and glowered at Kyleen. "I thought this place was a place to master our powers, not this stupid 'recreational' waste of time."

Kyleen stared Boreas down with a nasty glare. "Yes, this school is intended for the purpose of improving your powers. However, Principal Ferrigan believes that "recreational activity" is good for the student's mental health. But do not worry, you will spend plenty of time learning about and enhancing your powers."

Jay
Thudding footsteps followed the group as a certain invisible character rushed to keep up. He was sure that nobody had noticed him yet - though people never noticed him - and he was desperately trying not to get trampled on. Eventually, he reached the back of the group, and heard their 'tour guide' ask if there were any questions.
"I have one," he perked up, which must have seemed fairly strange; they could hear him, but couldn't see him. "Do you have specialised teachers?" He asked, projecting his voice so he could be heard over the chattering of nearby people. " 'Cause I doubt many teachers know anything about this." At this moment, he pointed to himself, before realising that they couldn't see that. "Invisibility," he finished, blushing slightly. Of course, they couldn't see that either.

Kyleen jumped a little when Jay spoke, but she was used to invisibility by now so it did not faze her as much as the others. "Oh. Yes, we do have teachers prepared to deal with your situation. Your power is uncommon but not unheard of. We have teachers that are trained for things like that." She shot Boreas one more look before continuing down the hallway to a large dining hall with long white tables with benches on either side. "This is the Cafeteria. Of course, this one more necessity, so you'll spend less time here so that the harpies can clean. I suggest you take your meals in the Meeting Area, or the library, which we will get to soon. Breakfast is at 7:00, Lunch at 12:00, and Dinner at 6:00." She stopped and looked at Boreas. "Any questions?"

Elizabeth's emerald eyes glimmered, a smile erupring on her face. Then she seemed a bit disheartened by something. She shook it off, hugging Skyhopper closer.

"Remember, C.B, don't screw it up."

Benjamin had pinpointed his gaze on where he though the voice from the invisible student might have come from, but he suspected he was either staring at their chest or a few inches above their head. He blinked, resetting his gaze to focus on the tour, more on the cafeteria. Quickly, he took in the view of the area, then turned to look around, down the hallways and at the ceilings again. Scratching his neck, a few more grey strands of fur fell from his hood. Muttering to himself, he said, "Remind me to take this off when Munch gets here..."

Benjamin looked down from the ceiling, hearing soft footfalls. Glancing in the wrong direction first, he blinked, then turned and looked the other way. Glancing across the other student, he dug his hands a little deeper into his pockets. He looked calm, but his mind was buffeting itself with a thousand questions, specifically about why the other student was walking towards him.

Benjamin blinked. "Benjamin Marolf. Nice to meet you." His eyes stayed locked on her own, as if it were vital that he did so.

Kyleen pursed her lips. "There will be plenty of time for socializing later. For now, I insist that you follow me." She continued walking until she reached another large room, this one with large bookshelves. This is the Library. We allow research and some school activities here, but it closes an hour before lights out. It does open early, however, and will be open all day. We do ask, however, that you refrain from bothering the Glowworms, no matter how fascinating they may be. Any questions?"

Kyleen paused. "There is no rule prohibiting the usage of electronic devices on campus, but I'm afraid that you won't have any kind of data or service here. So if you wish to use your phone for anything other than anything that requires those things, yes, I suppose. But do be warned that if you are using it in class, most teachers will take it away from you."
