Armstrongs School of sparkling :year two

[arythknives]

Alex had prepped the room this year, haveing seen the damage of anti-sparkles. this year the class room was alchemy proofed by the fuhrer himself. alex looked at the clock and saw that there was less than ten minutes until students had to be in there seats. in the meantime alex began illustrating poses one might find effective in competitive sparkling.


((join in if you feel like it, this one is gonna be good)))

Roze wasn't exactly a student there. She was a bit too old to be taught, or so she thought. She signed up to be a helper at Alex's new school, not really knowing what to expect, since she wasn't at the last year's school. She stepped into the classroom, which had only Alex himself there right now. She walked up to him and extended her hand out to him. "Ohaiyo, Alex-san. I'm Roze, the new assistant for your school..." She hoped that was enough intro. After all, she was slightly intimidated by his big frame.

[arythknives]

Alex was illustrating a behind the back sparkle uppercut when Roze walked in. "Ohaiyo, Roze-kun. Arigato gozai-masu. yes you are welcome here. you'll find your desk over here next to mine. your duties will be : managing the attendance roster, sparkle pose helper. It is very nice of you to help me, after all the hate mail my sparkles get. "

[velinda]

Roze blinked to Alex, not really understanding what he was teaching, or what the second of her duties were. She understood the first part but whas was a "Sparkle Pose Helper?" She shook her head. "Well... somebody needed to do it, right?" she commented. She sat down in the designated desk and took the roster sheet. She noticed it was empty. "Um... Alex-san... why are there no students listed? Or do I list them as they come in?" Usually, the list is already made, but she could handle it if this was done differently, or so she hoped.

[arythknives]

GASP! alex had forgotten in all his haste to write a class roster. he'd have to fake it for now, he wouldnt want roze to think he was incapable. "Well, Roze letting people choose this class roots out those who have no interest. one like that just want to get away from Aryths class." alex was proud of his ad-lib answer." Oh actually there are a few the fuhrer has ordered me to teach." Alex remembered this and rifled through a drawer. finaly he pulled out six paper slips. reading them off he handed them to her. "there's Barry the chopper, Zolf Kimblee, Roy Mustang thats not good to have two pyros on the same class, separate those two. i don't want them sitting together. we have Izumi Curtis, Hoenhiem of light, and Edward Elric. these are the people who have been determined by the fuhrer to have the highest sparkle possibility." Alex was silently happy he might not have to defend himself against the anti-sparkles this year.

OoC: um please try to get along guys, i just redecorated this room.

[velinda]

*Krystal*

Krystal looked up as she tried to find the door leading to the classrooom she was supposed to enter. The directions pointed to somewhere around here, but there didn't... and at that point, she found the door. Opening it, she found a rather muscular and tall man writing on the chalkboard and a thinner girl with odd-coloured hair looking over a sheet while sitting in a chair with a table nearby. The woman looked somewhat confused at whatever she was looking at, so Krystal cleared her throat. The woman looked up in suprise, and looked straight at her. "May I ask you your name?" the woman asked, and Krystal responded, "Krystal... Hikari..." With that, she sat down and watched as the woman conversed with the man.

*Roze*

Roze watched as a newcomer came into the room as she was looking at the empty seating chart. She was wondering where to put them all when she saw a new girl come in. Roze asked for her name, but the name wasn't on the list. However, besides dismissing the girl, she turned to Alex. "Alex-san... she isn't on your list... what do we do?" she asked him. After all, it was his school.

[arythknives]

Alex turned and straightened up as he saw his first student walk in. "Welcome to Year 2 of sparkling school, and you are?" alex put the chalk down, he had been drawing a chart for the best sparkle producing muscles, and walked over to her as she took her seat. "Krystal Hikari, huh? You have a title to live up to, I hope you know. your mother took second place at the amestris martial arts sparkle tournament." He turned to Roze and said, "admit her into the roster, please, Roze. she will make a fine student. (to hikari) now please, if you have any questions, ask away."

[velinda]

*Krystal*

She watched as the man ignored the woman and came over to her, and said her mother was... second place at a Sparkle Tournament? She had no clue what that was, but she didn't adress that, instead she said, "Umm... how do you know my mother... she never talked about you... and I'm sure she would if she knew you..." When he told her to ask questioins, she nodded, "Umm... what exactly is this place? I mean... what do you teach here?" She didn't know what was taught here- she just knew she was told to be here.

*Roze*
Roze watched their interactions before Alex told her to admit the girl to the roster, which she did. Since the girl found her own seat, she put Krystal's name in the chair she found before trying to find seats for everyone else when they came in...

[arythknives]

Alex Smiled at Hikaris second question. "This, ma'am, is a school of SPARKLING." saying this alex flexed his muscles harder than steel. Alex's shirt ripped up the front and exposed rather large pectoral muscles. after a second, his shirt finally gave in and shredded into a pile of cloth at his feet. sparkles rained down onto Krystals desk and the floor around him. while doing various poses he spoke. "I now of your mother, Miss Golden Hikari. would be one of the finest sparkling opponents I would ever face." finished with his sparkling Alex walked over to a closet stocked with extra shirts and coats. having redressed, he turned back to Krystal. "so where are you from?"

[velinda]

*Hikari*

Hikari's eyes widened when he started to sparkle, but she didn't back away. In fact, the sparkles near her somehow went around her as if some kind of force field was in effect around her. Thank you, EM field... she thought. She didn't know what kind of damage the sparkles could do, if any, but she didn't want to find out, either. She also wondered where he got that idea of her mother from, but she didn't ask. She didn't even correct him. However, she did wonder why he hadn't noticed her rather odd hair and eye colours... almost everyone else did. She looked up at the man when he adressed her again and said, "Central..." She looked up to see what his reactioin would be this time...

[arythknives]

Alex narrowed his eyes at the mention of central. "are you on an assignment?"

[velinda]

*Krystal*

She looked up at him quizically, wondering what he was thinking. On an assignment? "No... Armstrong-sensei... what do you mean by an assignment?" She was curious now. He had made mention of an assignment... and her curiosity got the better of her. "Do you mean an Army assignment? I'm not even a State Alchemist yet..." she shook her head. "But i want to become one... to maybe help regain what I've lost..."

[arythknives]

A look of empathy came over alex's face and he straightened up, after a second the look became hard but encouraging. "The mantle of State Alchemist is a high mark, a badge worn by those who have passed through trials that set them apart from the mundane. If your goal is to become a state alchemist, then you have my respect. So be prepared to earn it. the tactics you will learn in this class are different than the close quarters combat taught in boot camp. they require a great deal of elegance and personal strength, aswell as confidence in one's abilities. Do you posses the will to obtain these things through rigorous training and have you the strength to take back what you have lost?" Alex let Krystal stew over his questions and ponder her own abilities before she answered. Armstrong already could tell that she would make him proud. alex wrote a note on a piece of paper and passed it to roze. it said: Keep an eye on miss Hikari, I expect great things from her!

[velinda]

*Roze*

Roze read the note silently, before nodding back to Mr. Armstrong. She knew he was going to have his eye on Krystal, and she had already decided to keep an eye on her. In any case, she was the only student to enter so far...

*Krystal*
Krystal looked up to Alex and wondered where he got his speaking skills from. She believed from his speech that she would become great due to him... And she thought she she had what he spoke of... except one thing. "Um... I don't know... if I have personal strength... but I will try my hardest." she announced to him. She didn't know if his sparkling could truly push her to the top, but maybe lessons learned here could push her farther instead of the sparkles themselves...

[arythknives]

OoC: i chose Armstrong because we speak in the same manner. i usually try to hold back with the spiffy talk cuase it tend to annoy people. but i find that when i play as armstrong, i am able to use the pretty words i long for in casual life.


IC:

Alex was getting nervous, it was almost time to start class and his only student so far was miss Hikari. maybe they were all going to be late. which would probably not be such a good thing...

[AG]

Ed ran in late, "Sorry I'm late, Major!" He yelled irritatedly as he sat in his seat. He looked around at everyone else, who all noticed his tardiness. He sunk low as his face flushed up.

[velinda]

(So far, there's only Roze, my OC, and Alex there.)

Roze:

Roze looked up at the boy who ran in late. He seemed to notice his own tardiness, as his cheeks flushed. "Ed! Nice to see you again... Let's mark you off.. and you sit over by Krystal." She told him, pointing to Krystal's seat. She had finally made up a seating chart, so she beckoned Alex over for him to glance over. She made it to his guidelines, so she hoped it was alright.

*Krystal*
Krystal noticed that Armstrong was getting slightly nervous, and she figured the reason why. She had glanced at a clock, and saw that the class should begin soon, if not already, and she was the only student there. She sighed, thinking she would be alone before a short boy with blonde pigtails burst into the room. Krystal looked over at where he sat, wondering why he was so flushed. After all, he was the second one in the room. "Umm... Senpai... you aren't late... after all, you are only the second one here..." She turned back to Roze, who told Ed that he was to sit right next to her. She wondered what his reaction would be, but first, she had to ask something... "Ed.. is it? Um... why... do you... look like that?" was the nicest way to put it... after all, if she was that height, she would probably be a bit tempremental about it, so she assumed he would, too.

[arythknives]

*Anthras*

Anthras stepped through the door just as the bell rang. "Good morning major. I'll sit over there." Anthras pointed with his normal arm seeing as his left auto-mail arm hadn't been repaired yet. he walked over to his seat(a coupler over to the right and behind ED) and propped his sword up on the wall. "Hello Edward Elrich. How are you?" Anthras sat down and waited for class to begin.

*alex*

alex saw the disaster that was about to unfold and stepped in just before someone got hurt. "Edward how are you? how was your trip to rissimbul?" alex secretly wrote a note to Krystal thet said : "Never bring that subject up, unless you wish to be pummeled. just a warning, ed is touchy about his hight."

alex had thought he was doing rather well when he realized that he had slipped the note onto the wrond desk... Ed's desk...

seeing RoZe wave him over he took that as an excuse to run for it. "Coming rose...!" alex looked over the chart and noticed roses hand writing."You have an elegant script, Roze."

[aspiredeathe]

With a hesitant hand, Denny reached out for the doorknob, turning it as slowly as he could, trying to wile himself into just forgetting about this and run while he still could.
If that damn Second Lieutenant hadn't dared him, he really would have, however, should he survive this class, his fellow blonde would have to hand over his car keys for a full 24 hours.

With that in mind, he pushed open the door, taking the first bold step in. And that was it.
He couldn't bring himself to walk in further, so many sparkles were already dancing in the air, yet he could just imagine all the ladies he'd get with that car.
"Damn Jean." He cursed under his breathe, batting a loose a sparkle away as he slouched towards the nearest desk.

Only after he was seated did he glance around him, noting a familiar face, besides Armstrong, who seemed way too happy to be teaching, for his liking.
Ed didn't seem as happy as the bi-hair-coloured woman, Roze, whom he wondered had even found this place.
He'd figured only military would be here, forced in by their insane superiors or sick-minded friends.
"So what'd I miss, Major?" Might as well participate.
