Ryuoh: "You guys shouldn't worry too much about it. Every school has it's bullies, though our situation may be different. But hey, it's not like it's any better in the real world. Some people ignore it, some perpetuate it, and some do what they can to prevent it. Don't think about it too much. Lets go, we still have the rest of the grounds outside to explore. Go ahead an ask any other questions while we are moving."
Ryuoh leads you through the now familiar halls, toward the north-eastern part of the school, close to the amphitheatre, and exits through a set of glass doors leading outside. You can see a large parking lot, that is for the most part empty, and forest further back. To the north, the direction that Ryuoh heads, you can several buildings, seperated from each other, each one story tall, with signs mounted above their entrances.
Paved walkway leads to each entrance, and to the side of the entrance to the building on your left, that reads "Martial Arts Dojo" there is a miniature parking lot, each lot looks to be the size of a golf cart. The building to your right reads "Kendo Dojo."
Ryuoh "These are our martial arts dojo's. One is for most unarmed styles, the "Martial Arts Dojo," the other is for martial training in most weapons, although they prefer to focus in the use of katana and such.
He continues further east along the paved walkway, that now has a yellow lane stripe running down it's center. Once again, the seperate lanes are large enough for 2 way golf cart travel.
As you walk further east, a line of trees, quite tall, seperate the martial arts buildings from another fenced off area.
Ryuoh "These are the tenis courts."
As you travel further along the path, a larger group of trees seperates the courts from another building. The door closer to you reads "Pool" in big bold letters above the entrance.
Ryuoh: "This is our indoor pool. I don't remember if the principle mentioned, but we also have an outdoor pool, though it isn't suggested that any students go to swim in it. It has been overridden by an a large population of water sprites, and I am sure other creatures have taken residence too."
Further down the path is another door that reads "Gymnasium."
Ryuoh: "This is where many of you will be taking your P.E. class, unless you signed up for another class that qualifies for a P.E. 1 credit, like one of our martial arts classes. Behind these buildings are the other fields, our soccer, football, baseball field and it's cages. However, they aren't used often, atleast not the baseball field anyway."
As he leads you further down the path, it immediately enters dense forest. However, the sun still shines gleefully overhead as you travel further in along the path.
Your path begins to turn northward. You see a fork in your path. One looks to be in good condition, however, the other path has been overidden with dense weeds and shrubbery, and the trees shade the path further on. In the distance, you can see a greyish haze.
Ryuoh: "This disheveled path leads over to the outdoor pool, which has been converted into a swamp by it's inhabitance, and with the help of the Earth Friendship club. Don't worry, the grazing area isn't through there." as he points down the path, into the mist.
He begins walking again, deeper into the forest along the path. The group steps up to now open gates made of well carved wood. A sign in front of the gate reads "Extraordinary Animal Grazing Area."
Ryuoh: "This is the grazing area. I recommend staying on the path. Even though school hasn't started, and no student pets are out here, there are some natural denizens, and it wouldn't be fun to have to deal with them." he says, laughing to himself, classic anime sweat drop apearing above his head.
(ooc: completely ok to use anime expressions, such as popping veins, sweat drops, and what not)
The forest runs deep in each direction you look, with minor trails leading off here and there from the main path deeper into the forest. As you travel deeper, you see three different arena styled clearings, where you can see marked bounds surrending each arena, and stone seats on the outskirts of each arena.
Ryuoh: "Those are the arenas. That's where people usually test each others monsters against each other, though I have seen the occaisonal fist fight aswell. That, and I've seen people fighting their friends monsters, to see who's stronger."
A fork in the path, one leading to last arena, the other leading to a large field of tall grass appears, and Ryuoh continues his lead toward the field. Walking along the thin path leading through the tall grass (about 3' high), he leads you to a clearing where the grass is cut short, around ankle length. Further back is a podium where you can see the teachers conversing amongst themselves, the princeple included. Close by is a large table, with plastic cups and punch, and cookies of varying types. Also, you can see groups of students sitting in the grass talking amongst themselves.
Ryuoh: "Well, this is where everyone was supposed to meet. Right now it's about 11:30, so you have 1/2 an hour to find any friends you wanted to meet out here. They have drinks and stuff if you feel like it."
