Welcome to Icarion!

The most prestigious private school for Hunters around. Here young prodigies hone their skills under the watchful eye of headmaster Remington and his staff.

The most important thing to note about this school is that it is a PRIVATE one. Students can send in applications to join, but more often than not they're used for starting fires than actually read. And all the staff was approached at one point at another as well, either by the headmaster himself, or his secretary Artsenis. Thus getting into this school is by invitation only. That said, there are policies in place for visitors. Speak to Artsenis to learn more.

School Grounds
The academy itself has about what you'd expect for such a place. Dorms, Main Campus, Gym, Cafeteria, and an outside training grounds.

Of particular note are the gardens, tended to personally by Artsenis. The twisted, maze-like structure is foreboding at best and one could swear they hear whispers. Rumors abound throughout campus that students try their luck in the gardens at night only to never be seen again. More than likely they just transferred or dropped out because of the challenge and used the gardens as an excuse to save face with their friends.
More than likely.

Staff

Remington - Headmaster! He more or less looks as indicated, but with less armor and more clothes. (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120917222222/fireemblem/images/a/aa/Cervantes.jpg) On his back is a large gun. Those glancing at it would call it an oversized sniper rifle. Those who know better would call it a cannon. He's amiable and fair, though he's not without his vices.
Artsenis (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=16072519&postcount=2) - Remington's Secretary. A voluptuous and shapely woman who knows it and uses it to her advantage. This secretary's beauty is matched only by her wits and the depth to which her questionable motives sink.

OOC Notes & Rules

Have fun!
The universe here is an evolving one. The series is barely off the ground, so there's a lot of things we're still to discover. We will work in what we need.
That said, this is purposefully deviant from the series itself. We're more interested in a good time here than being canonically accurate.
This is an invitation only RP thread at the moment. There will be room for visitors from the rest of the RWBY universe, and anyone interested in that should PM me.

[Secretary's Desk]

"So, Sir," Artsenis says from her cross-legged position of sitting on her desk to her boss. The term 'sir' doesn't seem to sit well with her, and rather drips off of her tongue like a venom. "as things stand now, we have . . ." Artsenis flips the page on her notepad over excessively dramatically, "Absolutely no students."

The desk is very well made. Thick, well laminated, superbly crafted, and made of only the best mahogany from the depths of hell. With three full sized drawers along the side, a pencil drawer just under the main surface, and a phone on the top, the desk is quite a impressive.

Much more impressive, however, is the secretary sitting upon it. Wearing a tight, low cut shirt that accentuates all her voluptuous curves very well, a small dark leather jacket that mostly covers her shoulders, and a tight skirt, the secretary is by far the most noticeable piece in the room. Looking up past the crossed legs and stiletto heels shows the clip-board-notebook-thingy Artsenis is holding with her well manicured nails. Higher still is her face, which does not disappoint. Her hair is mostly light green, except for a small patch above her left eye that is bright orange, and is anime-ish-styled to frame her face nicely. The orangish section of bangs ends at just about mouth-height on her, which causes one to notice that her lips are fairly full, and covered in a bright orange lipstick that matches her hair, and somehow works out well with the rest of her colors. That could be because of her eyes, which are also nearly the same shade of orange.

On top of the desk, next to Artsenis is a sword, about three and a half feet long, but nearly a full foot in width. It's obviously hers.

One might question why the headmaster comes to the Secretary's desk and not the other way around. But there he is all the same, sitting in a chair in front of her.

"Huh? What? I mean, yes of course!" The headmaster laughs out boisterously, his hands taking their place on his belly, a full feature but at least complimentary with the rest of his burly physique.

"It's still summer! HAHA!" That may be true now, but that's quickly coming to a close.

"Sir," Artsenis says again, slowly, chewing the word around before finally managing to utter it, "It's summer for a grand total of three more days. At least," she continues, adjusting her thick framed, yet still fairly small pair of glasses, "for the schools with students."

Remington stops laughing and puts on a slightly more serious face, when his eyes don't wander that is. "What? Already? What happened to our recruiting drive? We did have a recruiting drive, right? Oh no wait, we scrapped that. Wasn't that, uh, program of yours supposed to pick out students for us?"

[Secretary's Desk]

"My program will pick students for us," Artsenis nearly hisses, her upper lip curling into a hint of a snarl, "but to do that, it needs actual students to reply to our summons and arrive.

So far," she carries on, composure regained, and shifting so her right leg is resting on her left, instead of the other way around, "no one has replied to our summons."

"Oh." The headmaster mulls this over in his head for a good amount of time.
"Are you saying... that... we're being actively turned down?! Preposterous! INCONCEIVABLE! ... What should we do about it?"

[Secretary's Desk]

"That," Artsenis says, inhaling deeply before slowly sighing, attempting to get her flaring temper under control, "Sir, is why we're having a meeting." The sentence is ended with her talking with the same tone of voice one uses generally with a dog who was being very silly. "We could send out more fliers, or you, as headmaster, could call them up, and . . . politely . . ." The expression on her face as she says the last word is one of extreme pain. "Remind them that we still exist."

"Ohhhhh... I thought you just enjoyed the pleasure of my company." He gives her a wink and a chuckle.

"Hmmm... I guess I coulllld approach them directly. You'd be better at it. It's the face. The sheer manliness of my mustache might intimidate them! HAHAH!"

[Secretary's Desk]

The look of pain that crosses Artsenis's face for a brief moment at the headmaster's first comment is indescribable.
So I won't even try.

"I agree, I would be better at is," She's so modest. "However, you are the headmaster. Not me. They'd respond better if it were you."

With that, she places the notepad down, takes off her glasses, and rubs at the bridge of her nose, sad at the sheer imbecility of the people she's forced to work with.

To be fair, they should probably hire a few teachers to work with too.

Artsenis flips a few pages in her notebook contraption before answering. "He appears to be perfect for our . . . school." Remember, Artsenis: School. "And has a unique fire slash ice fighting style. He lives at" Blahdeeblahdeeblahdeeblah location.

Well Remington meant actual candy but his train of thought becomes totally lost.

"Well you certainly are eye candy," He says as a goofy grin spreads on his face. "And while I do hate to share, one look at you and students will have to join! Accompanying me is the best idea! I'm glad I thought of it."

Artsenis sighs slightly. She had fully expected that, though she had hoped that this time they'd get to play pool.
"Yes . . . Headmaster." She can't bring herself to say Sir. "I'll fetch your things straightaway."

With that, Artsenis saunters off on her exceptionally pointy heels off to go fetch their golf-gear.

Reinholdt

If she wished to play pool she need but ask! I'm sure Remington wouldn't mind watching how she handles the cue.

Admittedly once students arrive it'll be near impossible to play golf on campus again.

Anyways, Headmaster waits until Artsenis returns before leading the charge to golf. Some hand waving can occur here on how it goes.

Some day she'll object, and ask about pool. But until then! Handwaving can occur to speed the golfing process along, ending, presumably, with Artsenis not doing well at all.

Or a Kindly Old Lady anyway.

It seems she (a) spotted Artsenis, and (b) has a few bats in that grey-colored belfry of hers.

"We have. But were here to check on you, Johan, to make sure you were still coming to our school. The semester starts soon, after all." Artsenis says, not missing a beat nor truly paying much attention to him trying to be polite. She's here for business.

"No such letter was sent!" The Headmaster proclaims, appalled. Though if such a thing were sent, it would explain the low enrollment rate. Perhaps a rival school is performing sabotage.

That'd be a door!

With an admittedly large catflap in it. Through which a head now pokes.
"Nya?"
She looks up at Artsenis curiously.

There's short, medium, and long hair in that pic. Her hair goes to the medium length (roughly elbows) and stops there. Otherwise, fairly accurate.

Artsenis blinks. This was . . . not what she had expected. She should have, but apparently hadn't spent enough time on this file.
"Are you . . . Tsubaka?"

"Nya!" Tsubasa nods her head yes and pulls her head back in to open the door for Artsenis. Dare she step inside?

I'll presume she does. The place is a completely normal house.

If you ignore the incredible amount of pink background and white kitties. Mostly wallpaper, but even her clothes seem to be such. It might be damaging to the eyes. A few actual cats stare at Artsenis from various places, some running away to hide, some running up to get pets.

Artsenis does step inside! And after a moment of mentally hissing to herself about how it burns, she kneels down and pets at a few of the cats.
"You . . . did you really apply to get into Icarion?" Artsenis sounds . . . dubious.

Tsubasa prances forward, putting her face right up to Artsenis and sniffing a bit.

"Probably!" If she did, it was one of a few schools. She can hardly be expected to keep track of which ones she applied to, can she?

Artsenis leans back a bit at the sniffing. Though I'm sure she smells nice.

"Well, um," it was a good thing the Headmaster wasn't here, Artsenis decided, because she was actually caught off guard. "I'm here to inform you that the school year will be starting soon. And . . . um . . . if you want to come, it'd . . . be a good idea?"

"Wasn't classes canceled?" Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff.

Hmm... Tsubusa thinks this person is not a friendly cat person.
They could use more friendly!
Tsubusa tries bumping her head against Artsenis' hand and mewing softly.

Artsenis actually giggles a little bit, and scritches at Tsubasa's ears.

Then remembers that she has a job to maintain.
She clears her throat loudly, and says that "No. Actually. Classes have not been canceled. And we have a dorm on campus, so you can move there if you'd rather not commute every day."

"Well you're the first school to give me ear scritches so there is that. But why should I pick you over, say... Sanctum?"

"Be . . . cause . . .

We'll give you more ear scritches? I have my own desk that you can swing by any time you want some. I don't know if Sanctum could offer you the same deal." And it's true! She doesn't mean to be badmouthing Sanctum, which she isn't, she just honestly doesn't know if they can offer that same deal.
"And my desk is made of Mahogany."

Tsubasa leans forward with a Cheshire grin. "You like scratching kitty ears, don't you?"

Of course Artsenis does. Having a kitty in her lap to stroke while she sits in her ominous leather chair and monologues is a practical prerequisite for her line of work isn't it?

"I quite enjoy it, I have to admit. And I'm sure you'll make much better company than the Headma~ . . . certain other people I won't name."

Unfortunately for Artsenis, Tsubasa is somewhat larger than a kitty. But she'll find a way to make it work. Her job does demand it.

"Nyahahaha!!" Tsubasa says flopping down on the floor in front of Artsenis before rolling over and batting playfully at the air.

She is one very messed up girl. Even if mostly adorable.

Artsenis stares for a moment, unsure about what to do.

Then decides that, when one has a kitty at your feet, rolling over, and batting at the air adorably, one must pet the kitty!
Artsenis kneels quickly, and starts to scritch at Tsubasa's tummy! Assuming she doesn't get instantly stopped, that is.

Well yes, petting the kitty is the appropriate response. But on the belly? Artsenis is liable to get her hand grabbed by all four 'paws' and get nipped at.

Does Tsubasa look like a dog? Nooo...

Artsenis just laughs, and stands back up. She's so evil! She did that deliberately just to annoy Tsubasa.

Yup. Totally.

Definitely not just because Artsenis was used to dogs. Definitely not that.

Darn that evil Artsenis!!

Tsubasa watches her warily for a while before slowly relaxing and rolling onto her side. Particularly in the way of a sunbeam. By the looks of things, she's going to fall asleep right there.

...meanwhile, Johan found himself standing outside the door of his (now former) home, two bags with all his worldly possessions in his hands. Sighing, he went to walk away, not looking back...

...now if only he knew which way the the Headmaster and his assistant had gone.
