Disorinated arrival

[Chris]

Loki gazed over the beach and eyed the moonlight glenting off the various ships. he looked at each of the vessels and marveled, he never belived there could be so many shades of rusty red.
he looked at the moon again, scrutinizing the sliver-white contours. it looke farmilar, slightly larger than he remembered, but the same rock he had looked up at countless times.
He thought:so, I'm on earth...but where....where would the Emperor have gathered so many ocean vessles? and in such poor condition!
He stepped down towards the docks, hearing several frightened screams and chilling laughs from several vessles.

Loki came up to a ship, the name rusted from its hull. he hestated momentarly, feeling an un-natural energy pulsating with in.
he shook his head and then rapped the hull of the vessel.
he waited, his head tilted, scruinizing the rusted steel.
the heard it suddenly, the boom, boom, crash, boom, boom, crash, crash.
he said aloud "They got a drum in there?"
he heard a sarcastic laugh from with in, with a chilly and distirbing edge.
he backed away slowly from the hull....
"in the name of Sol, Where am i?" he shouted.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

A creature twisted through the air, serpentine in it's movements as it flew. Silvery scales refracted the pale moonlight as it's shimmering light blue mane glistened. Strong chestnut eyes looked down towards the stranger aboard the ship, he seemed very obviously... lost...

The creatures, clawed talons moved beneath it as if it were running through the air as it got lower and lower in flight, and closer to the ship, from a closer view it was able to be identified as a creature known only in myth and fantasy, an asian dragon. It came to an abrupt halt on the deck of the ship, it's eyes glittered and it's claws only lightly scraped on the planks. "This place is known as The Ghost Shipyard, and I can guess that this isn't where you were previously." it spoke, though it's mouth made no movements to form words, they seemed to resonate into existance with a calm, almost musical voice.

[Chris]

Loki stood speechless, gazing at the odd creature, something no marine has ever described, no matter how flat out drunk and wasted he was after campaigning on his thousand worlds.
"fantastical" he murmured.
then he heard it speak, the beautiful winged creature of pre-ancient lore...What was it called? he wondered.
"A Dragon!" he shouted in booming amazement "in all my life, i never thought those annoying books on pre ancient culture would ever do anything for me than give me weird dreams.
he stopped, thinking over the revelation he had just been revealed.
"This must be a dream!" he said, "That has to explain it, this has to be a dream. Time travel in the reverse is positively impossible."
"Wait...when have i ever thought of the Ghost ship yard?"
He froze, unable to speak at all. his eyes where wide....
"This isn't a dream is it?" he asked, positively mortified at the prospect.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

(Asian dragons are the long snake-like one without wings....)

"Sometimes it's better to confuse reality with dreams- it makes things easier to deal with." The dragon nodded his head as he looked accross the waters silently, "and I'll guess that you weren't here with plans of attending The Academy?" he almost seemed to laugh as his tail swayed back and forth, "But the offer of some stability in this confusion you've stumbled into is offered openly." the dragon nodded with a serene expression 'pon his face, "Though I'd suggest we get off of this ship- our presense might not be appreciated." He silently slipped though the air and onto the docks, watching Loki all the while.

[Chris]

(really? I've seen heard of them in both.....lol silly me)

"at the moment yes, i think it would suit me to fool myself into a contrived sense of reality, so i don't collapse into hysteria."
he paused, thinking on the dragons second query, examining his surroundings, the forest, the fog, the ships, the yard, the sea. he then gazed at the dragon, his eyes still fooling him some what. "Yes that is true, all the same, i am pleased and grateful for your offer and i accept it eagerly."
"not appreciated?" it was then he felt the ship rumble in a hellish way. "oh....thats what the dragon meant."
Loki scurried down the gangway to the docks as a violent light shined from the port holes.
he made his way cautiously, looking at the rotted and hole filled walk way, to wards the dragon. he turned back, the ship, where ever it was within that group of ships, was now at peace.
he arrived at the dragon, its eyes gazing on him with criticism, but not over riding.
"Dragon, what is your name?"

[Señor Sunday Friday]

"Makashi." The dragon nodded, looking at the people along the docks with a patient silence for a few moments. There were other things that he was known as but it was better to give his fallen name, rather than his title. "And your name would be... what?" he inquired as he silently began walking into the mist, apparently Loki was intended to follow... atleast if he didn't want to get lost... again...

[Chris]

"Loki" he said, falling into step about three paces behind the dragon, "Loki Blas."

"Makashi..." he said, wondering if he got the pronunciation correct. he was silent for a long while, then shrugged, if he had got it wrong, there would have been an objection. "What is This academy?" he finally asked.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

"Twilight Moon Academy for the Gifted, pretty much a freakshow to be honest." Makashi chuckled slightly as he looked towards the various ships on the water, "We normally help students with special abilities- especially magical ones- perfect thier powers, as well as various other things, such as Alchemy, and various other courses- which reminds me that you'll be required to have a schedule by the time we reach the school. Required classes are Magic, Weaponry, Alchemy, Beastry, a Master Class, and then a break period. After that come some optional classes.... are you sure you want to come to The Academy and deal with such an array of classes?" he asked, completely honest- he didn't want to bring someone to Twilight Moon Academy unless they were wholly sure they wanted to be there, because there was potential for some bad things to happen if anyone went to TMA and then suddenly changed thier mind or something of the sort, and then there was the fact that he didn't want the instructors to waste thier time with a student who wouldn't be atleast somewhat dedicated to thier studies... could this kid even use magic, anyways? Yeah, important question, I guess.

[Chris]

"A freak show you say?" Loki said, taking everything in at once. "Sounds interesting." he listened on and tried to decipher what each term was. "Magic...i have a grasp on what you mean, but i cant quite put it into words." then he paused and thought, "I don't even know if i can use magic...where i come from, it was all about technology, power, might...its something that never was even contemplated."
"Wait...if time travel is impossible...then i may have fallen into a wormhole between universes...Makashi, how does one go about testing for Magic?"
Loki thought more...Weaponry was something any sailor would know, and beastry was self-explanatory.
"and Alchemy goes along with Magic correct? utilizing magic to produce products?"
"and Master Class...could you explain that as well?"
Loki blushed, "Sorry to ask so many questions, its just this...universe i guess...is something new, and i must say, i find everything quiet...exciting."

[Señor Sunday Friday]

"It's understandable." Makashi chuckled, "And normally you'll either have some form of magical ability or not- they can't be forced out but we can wait and figure things out over time. Alchemy class is a blend of magic and science- so it tends to be challenging to most, and finally Master Class... in which I'll probably help you figure out if you have magical abilities or anything of the sort, since it's made to help you learn how to controll powers in the first place." there were also optional classes that would need to be chosen, as well...

"There are more than just the base classes, I'd like to point that out." Makashi noted. It was kinda odd for someone to think about it... that there was a dragon talking to someone, but hey- it's an alternate reality that's already suggested that it should be thought of as a dream to avoid freaking out and the such.... so it's one of the lesser odd things today.

[Chris]

"like i said, we never even tried to look for one, and who knows what might have happened if anyone had claimed to have one." shudders..."insane asylum probably...maybe even personality adjustment. but...this isn't where I'm form...i might even posses such abilities here, simply because the physical laws of my former reality did not allow them, and this realty's do."
"Alchemy sounds fun, I might just stick around for that"
"master class, i understand. more than just these classes? what other class are there, My Lord?"
When i wake up, Loki thought, I am probably going to be sent to the asylum on some medical ship in the middle of nowhere...
Loki continued walking with the dragon, scrutinizing the trail ahead for any sign of a lift in the fog or the arrival of the destination.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

"Lord? Haven't heard that term in a while..." Makashi chuckled, "And yes, there are four more class periods where you choose which class you're going to be taking.
Seventh period: Either History, Music, or Potionry
Eighth period: Holy, Flare, or Summoning
Ninth period: Dragoon, Samurai, or Thievery
Tenth period: only two for this choice- Survival, or Puppetmaster.

You can't change your schedual once you get into your classes so I'd suggest you put some thought into your answers and ask any neccessary questions." To be honest they really weren't walking to any specific location at the moment, simply walking- because it was by far much more pleasant to walk whilst you talk.

[Chris]

"My lord, we are born calling all those of noble rank by that term. when you said you would be instructing me in my Masters class, and seeing as you, my lord, are a dragon, i fell into old habits.
"What history will we be studying and what does the Music class entail?
"I'm sorry My lord, but i am unable to deuterium what any of these classes deal with.
"Samurai, that i think is clear enough in my mind."
"My lord the final one sounds like a Psychological exam, what are both classes about?"

after a while of searching for the destination, he gave up and proceeded to examine the Dragon's body for any imperfections...
...he found none from where he could see.

[Señor Sunday Friday]

(No imperfections? Are you gonna hit on my dragon!? You better not! He's married. lol)


"Well I'm nobody's Lord... so you can simply call me Makashi if you wish, and about your questions, then...
I honestly have no clue what history you are to be learning... because the history teacher has a few screws loose and was talking about some kind of tomato goddess last I saw him... and music class is just how it sounds, you learn how to play some sort of instrument, Holy is the learning of light magics, mostly healing, Flare is dark magics with many offensively based spells, and Summoning teaches you the art of calling on creatures to aid you in battle... Now, Survival is rather simple- you learn how to survive in various environments, and Puppetmaster gives you marionettes that you control with magical energy... do you have any more inquiries?" He asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked toward Loki.

[Chris]

(no, he was mearly doing somethign to pass the time...and also examining him from a purely intelectual point of view)

Loki stepped back the percing gaze
"as you wish My l- Makashi. Well, that means history is out of the question, so i think i shall be taking Music, Flare, and Survival."
he thought for a moment, making bloody sure thats what he wanted.
"yes, that is what i want, thoses are the classes." he smiled, pleased with himself.
