Northlake Academy ~ A part fantasy, part futuristic RP

[tamaturtle]

(nah, I just left it as an open convo so we can timeskip to showing what they decide to do xP kinda like a film. 'so what we gonna do?' *action*)

 

[Runner]

(Mmkay..)

"Well, I guess it's decided. We're going to try to head back to the Academy and find Summer. The only issue is.. I have no idea what the way is back to the Academy. And I dunno if everybody is still at the campground or not. So that makes things difficult." Flynn bit his lip, trying to think. "First things first, we'd better go find the bicycles Summer drew for us."

Gill pulled the van into the Academy parking lot, and he cringed at the pain in his legs, which hurt from having been sitting for about 3 hours. He groaned. "Uggghh..." He climbed out of the van, and then stretched up. "Alright. Should we both carry her in?"

 

[tamaturtle]

"The bikes she drew? Oh. Right. Yeah." Zack paused, shuffling awkwardly for a few moments before nodding. "Okay, yeah, bikes. Where are they? And how are we actually gonna find the Academy? From what you've described, it sounds pretty top secret..."

Nat made a small noise, getting out of the van and stretching. "Huh! YOU can carry her in, I'm not doing any more labour than I have to. And I don't want to get kicked. I'll go talk to your dad, find out what we can and can't do and see if he's coming down to the basement."

 

[Runner]

"We left them behind a building near the town entrance..And we'll find the Academy somehow, I sort of remember the way back.. Well, not really. But if we hurry, we might be able to follow the bus from the campground back to the Academy. C'mon. We don't have time to waste." Without waiting for Zack's response, Flynn ran off, heading towards the town entrance.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Dude, wait- huh?" Zack broke into a small jog, pulling out his ringing mobile phone and answering it as he ran. "Yeah? Uh huh... Aw, what?! Ah, it's okay. I couldn't hang out tomorrow anymore anyway." With that he hung up, pushing himself to catch up to Flynn. "Bad news, Flynn. Apparently they've blocked off all the entrances and exits to the town. They're only letting EU vehicles through or something like that... My friend wasn't making a lot of sense over the phone..."

Summer had long since given up on trying to untie herself and was sleeping rather peacefully in the back of the van.

Nat rolled her eyes when Gill didn't do anything, and decided to just text Mr Worthington instead. "Fine, I'll go sort out the basement. Grab the girl, will you?" She asked in a tired voice before storming off into the building.

 

[Runner]

(Oh crud >.< I forgot to rp Gill in the last post, sorry)

"Fine." Gill walked around to the other side of the van, and then carefully picked up Summer, as if she was fragile or something, but still holding her in a tight grip. He then followed after Nat.

Flynn's eyes widened. "Seriously? Wait... That can't mean... Oh god.. The vans must be coming for Celia and me. *&*(&(&. This is not good. We have no choice, but to either knock out some of the workers, take their van, and go, or to just attempt to escape on foot through the forest or something.. No wait, the second option doesn't work." He grimaced. "I guess knocking out the workers and taking their van is our only choice."

 

[tamaturtle]

(It's okay, I forget characters all the time xD

Also, I've been working out what time it is in the RP, and I think it's about afternoon, for future reference xD Feel free to correct me.)

Summer groaned and opened her eyes as she was picked up, and it took a few minutes of blinking and rubbing her eyes to remember where the heck she was and what had happened. Turning her head, she caught sight of the familiar - and now dreaded - Academy building. Without even bothering to check who was carrying her, she tried to wriggle out of the person's grip. "Get off me, you #%@£&... European!" A fail of an insult, but hey, she HAD just woken up.

While Flynn had been ranting Zack had taken out another cigarette and was lighting up. When Flynn finished he took a rather long drag, thinking hard. "Or... I have another crazy idea. But for it to work, I need to beat you up a little. And tie you up. It's nothing personal, I swear."

 

[Runner]

Flynn wrinkled his nose at the scent of smoke that emitted from Zack's cigarette, coughing slightly at the bitterness. When Zack suggested the idea, he stared at Zack, a look that said What? on his face. "That could work, but tell me the full details of the plan, since you're going to beat me up and all."

Gill winced at the insult. "Sorry! Look, if it's any consolation, I'll try to arrange things with my dad so that you don't get your head chopped off or starved or something."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Bear with me here. Basically, I sling you in the back of my van that I'm technically not allowed to drive yet, drive to the exit, and say I'm with the Academy and I'm returning you nasty escapees!" Zack shrugged. "What could possibly go wrong?"

"That would be lovely if it were possible." Summer moaned. She made a small noise as she noticed the area around them was getting darker. Clearly, they were going into the basement, a fact confirmed when she saw Nat. "I have no idea when they installed a cage in here, but might as well make use of it." She said, taking Summer and tossing her in roughly. "Your dad should be here soon. Please pull yourself together."

 

[Runner]

"What are you talking about?" Gill narrowed his eyes. "You're making it sound like there's something wrong with me. There isn't." He glared at Nat, resisting the urge to punch her. "By the way, I can handle things with my dad. You can go and hang out in the staff room and get some late lunch or something." He didn't want Nat around when his dad came, since he knew Nat would disapprove of him asking his dad to not give Summer a gigantic punishment.

Flynn hesitated, not a hundred percent okay with this plan, but he finally nodded. "I guess that's our only option. So.. We'd better hurry up and go do it, before anything happens to Summer."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Best idea I've heard all day." Nat told Gill as she made sure the cage door was secure before turning to Gill as she warned him "I'll be back later though. My power might be needed." She smirked, pushing past Gill and going upstairs.

Summer groaned and pushed herself off the floor, not looking at Gill as she spoke. "By any chance is her power that head-splitting pain I felt?"

Zack nodded, not moving just yet. "Right then. My van's behind the neighbours' house, I'm not supposed to know about it." Then, taking advantage of Flynn's stillness, he lunged forwards, punching him in the face. "Sorry, man. Your face is still as attractive as ever, don't worry."

 

[Runner]

Gill stared after Nat until she was gone, and then without looking at Summer, nodded. He didn't want to say anything, in case someone was around who could hear. At that moment, Mr. Worthington came down the stairs and smirked at Gill. "Hello there, Gill. Is that her? The little bloody idiot who decided to escape?" When Gill didn't respond, Mr. Worthington walked up to the cage. "Isn't your name Summer? Very fitting, although it's unlikely you'll ever see summertime again for a long time. Or any season, for that matter. Once a day, Nat will come down here to use her power on you, and you'll only receive two meals a day, no more, no less. And three times a day, you'll be escorted to the bathroom by a trusted Academy student officer. We can't kill you,after all. You're worth a lot of money, and we plan on selling you overseas."

Attractive? Ew. Flynn tried his best not to show that he was slightly disgusted by Zack as he nodded. "Yeah whatever, let's get moving... Just hurry up and get it over with."

 

[tamaturtle]

When Mr Worthington arrived on the scene Summer instantly tensed up, gritting her teeth and glaring at the older man as he spoke to her. On the inside, however, she was dying. Oh god, she really was stuck wasn't she? "Like hell you're selling me overseas, or doing any of that stuff, you ^&*^@ European!" Clearly, she had decided 'European' was a good insult, although she also decided to back it up by flipping Mr Worthington off. By this point, she honestly didn't care what happened, although there was a part of her that was screaming for her not to go any further and just take the events like a good little victim. "I'll get out somehow! You know I could do it!"

Zack nodded, turning around and starting to move. "My house isn't that far from here. I'll have to try and find the key somewhere, but knowing my neighbour, I have a fairly good idea of where it'll be. I love predictable people." He laughed, glancing back at Flynn. "You seem slightly worried... then again, I don't blame you. I am going to be tying you up and throwing you in the back of a van." Of course, this being Zack, he couldn't resist winking.

 

[Runner]

Mr. Worthington laughed at her, before walking back up the stairs. Before he did so, he called back at her, "Well, I hope you enjoyed a meal earlier, because you're not getting one until tomorrow morning." When he was gone, Gill quickly apologized to Summer. "Sorry, my dad is such a jerk. Here.." He slipped a bag of chips through the bars of the cage. "You can have those. Just make sure to give me the wrapper when you're done. I'm stuck here with you, since I have to watch you." Not like he minded doing so.

Flynn felt extremely grossed out by this guy, and it didn't take him much to figure this guy was gay and totally into him. "Yeah, yeah." He followed after Zack, as he had no idea where the neighbor's house was.

(Timeskip Flynn and Zack?)

 

[tamaturtle]

(wheee timeskip to the morning~)

Summer had eventually fallen asleep, holding her grumbling stomach in order to try and ease her hunger. Stupid idea, not eating for an entire day. She had woken up once only to see Nat sat there watching her - she quickly shut her eyes again and turned away, just in case. She thought it was morning when she woke up and pushed herself up to move around; she couldn't be certain due to the lack of natural light. After one pace of the cage she noticed that it was Gill sat guarding her again. "Oh... hi."

After driving around for god knows how long in an attempt to find the Academy based on Flynn's 'directions' and Zack's guesswork, Zack had eventually decided to call it a day. He'd pulled his van over in a secluded area (or was it actually a field? It had been too dark.), allowing the two boys to crash and fall asleep. Right now, though, Zack was waking up. "Ow... do I have a steering wheel imprint on my cheek?"

 

[Runner]

Flynn awoke, rubbing his eyes. "Yeah, you do." He then looked away, still creeped out by Zack. It was nice of him to help him rescue Summer, but Flynn didn't particularly enjoy being flirted with by a guy. "So... What do we do now? I guess we can keep going, but I dunno where we'll get to.. It'd be nice if we had a cell phone or something.."

"Hi. I'm not actually supposed to be here, since someone else is supposed to gua-" Gill was cut short as Cecil came down the stairs, holding a tray that only held a bowl of cereal, a small carton of milk, and a banana. Gill muttered something under his breath before he quickly ran off to hide somewhere else in the basement. "Ugh.. I hate coming down her-" Cecil cut short when she saw who was in the cage. "Oh, if it isn't my roommate who supposedly disappeared. You're such an idiot, trying to escape from the Academy. She opened a small door to small to escape through in the cage, and then put the tray through. "Honestly. What were you thinking?"

 

[tamaturtle]

"Oh, great." Zack groaned, looking in the car mirror and rubbing his face. "Well, right now I have absolutly no idea where we are. We did well yesterday by finding that campground, but..." He groaned again, flopping forwards onto the wheel. "I just wanna sleeeeeeep..."

Summer gave a small jolt when she heard Cecil's voice, groaning when she looked up and confirmed that it was indeed her roommate. "Oh, if it isn't Miss Academy Officer. How's licking the teacher's butts going?" Summer had thought ahead and had taken the food from Cecil before she started insulting the other girl, hence why she was now eating the banana. Oh my god, that tasted so good! Forcing herself to eat slowly, Summer watched Cecil. "You don't know what's going on here, do you?"

 

[Runner]

"Yeah, I so totally lick the *()&*s of the teachers. Be grateful you even got a good amount of food, Mr. Son-of-the-principal managed to kiss up to his dad to make sure you got enough food to not get malnourished." She glared at Summer, watching her eat the banana. When Summer asked her if she knew what was going on, Cecil asked, "What the @^@%($ are you talking about?"

Meanwhile, Gill was silently listening from some other corner of the basement, blushing a little when Cecil brought up how he had had to kiss up to his father to make sure Summer got good meals.

"Yeah, yeah." Flynn rolled his eyes. They seriously needed to get going. "Hey, switch with me. I'll drive, if you're so tired. We don't have all day, we need to go save Summer before she gets her head chopped off by the EU people."

 

[tamaturtle]

When she had finished eating the banana Summer couldn't resist throwing the skin in Cecil's general direction, although sadly it fell just short of the bars and failed to hit or even land near the other girl. "I'm talking about the truth, Cecil." She began in a quiet voice, glancing around. Hey, why was she being stealthy? Gill was probably still here, yes, but he and the others already knew that she knew everything... Sighing, Summer decided to jump straight to the point. "This place is run by the EU."

"Fine, fine. You're kinda cute when you're angry, y'know that?" Zack mumbled, kicking the van door open and sliding out to walk around to the other side. He took a little longer than necessary, due to the fact that he was trying to light up a cigarette as he walked. "Where the hell are we, anyway? I couldn't see last night really..."

 

[Runner]

"How am I supposed to believe that?" Cecil simply continued to glare at Summer, but inside she sort of felt it made sense that that was the case because of the fact the Academy had taken away their cell phones, and Cecil was pretty sad about that because her cell phone had had all kinds of good stuff on it. Not to mention, being an Academy student officer, she had overheard some slightly sketchy conversations before. "And how would you know that that's the case?"

Gill continued to listen, and although he knew he was technically supposed to go over and stop Summer, he didn't.

Flynn rolled his eyes, and then got out and walked over to the driver's side. He decided that if Zack tried to get too close, he would just give Zack a good shock with his electricity. "I have no idea where the *(&** we are either." He started up the car, and then began to drive.
