"Sure thing." Cloud said as he continued into the dorm. In his room, he pulled out a small shoe box sized container holding his old character. There was a small figurine and a character sheet as well as a purple velveteen robe that he would wear himself. After making sure everything was in order, he balanced his box on his back and met with Poindexter. The two talked about the plan as they walked towards the tree, though they took a long way around to secure a classroom so they'd be indoors.

The three friends were already waiting at the tree. Tornado was going on about what character she should be, based on the little bits of information she got from Mith about how it worked. Daring joined them after she finished washing up listened with the other two as Tornado kept going over possible characters. She already knew what she wanted to be.

Cloud and Dexter walked up to the three, "Hey everypony." Cloud greeted as they got close, "We've got a classroom so we can all play together indoors."

"Hey Cloud! Hey Dex!" Tornado greeted the two. "So that's what happens with the classrooms when they're not used for class. I can't wait to star, let's get going."

"Sure thing. We'll lead the way." Poindexter said and about faced back to the classrooms. Cloud followed close behind.
OOC: You can jump to the classroom if you want.

They got to the class and the four girls stood waiting inside, not sure where to sit or what they where expected to do.

Poindexter pointed to a group of six tables set up in a rectangle with a large cloth draped over it and a large box sitting beside it. Cloud and I will sit across from each other at one end of the table. The rest of you can sit wherever, we'll explain the game when we get seated." He said and moved to his seat. Cloud went with things for now and sat down at the seat across from Dexter and beside the large box.

Tor was the first of the girls to sit down and took the seat next to Dexter. Daring took a seat next to Cloud and so did Mith, leaving only the other seat left next to Dexter for Ever.

With everyone seated, Poindexter leaned into the box and pulled out a notebook for each of the girls, "Here you go. You'll follow your characters in these journals. Do you all know what kind of race and class you want or should I explain them?"

"A pegasus adventurer." Daring said immediately. "I want to be a wizard." Tornado said. "I'm not sure about race, what races are good for wizards?" "I think I'd like to be a griffon." Ever said. "But I'm not sure about class, what do you think I should be?" "A barbarian minotaur." Mith said.

"Hehe, didn't see that one coming." Cloud said at Darings choice and turned to Tornado, "I'm a Wizard too. Dragons and Unicorns make the best wizards, with dragons just sacrificing some of their power for survivability. Unicorns can be glass cannons at time. "And griffons make awesome hunters and light weight warriors. You want to use their dexterity without losing their strength. Their not as fast as pegasus but have more natural strength. Claw weapons are your friends." Poindexter said to Ever.

"I could try being a hunter then." Ever said. "I'm not sure if I'd be any good at it." "And I'll choose to be a dragon." Tornado said. "I kind of like that. Although a big strong dragon that can use magic, is that even fair? It kinda sound like there's nothing it can't do."

"We call them dragons, but they're a lot more like tall lizard people. Walk on two legs and have durable bodies, though not necessarily physically strong. It's the back story and the personality types that really differ between the races." Cloud pointed out, "I play a dragon wizard myself, so it's pretty fun."

"That's a little weird, but I sill want to be a dragon wizard." Tornado said. "So what do we do next?"

Dex reached into his box and pulled out a small stack of pappers, handing one to each of the girls. At the same time Cloud pulled out his character sheet, "You can read this for reference. It's my character." "You'll need to fill out each of your character sheets. With their personality, physical details, abilities, and background. I've memorized the handbook so you can ask me all the questions you want." Dexter said with a smile, pushing the player handbook to the center of the table anyway.

"Okay Cloud, you can help me with this." Daring said. "Plenty of adventuring, plenty of fitness and no history." "What spells do I get in the beginning?" Tor asked. "Background?" Ever said thinking. "Can my griffon have a loving family that she's fond of in her background? I'm thinking a tall white mother griffon with some yellow feathers like the sun." Mith was busy filling out her sheet. "Strength and dexterity. Maybe put what is left on wisdom." She said to herself.

OOC: Do you want a bunch of talking about the character creation of for most of it to be skipped?
BIC: Cloud opened his copy of the handbook to the spells page, "There's lightning touche, icy touch, magic missile, ray of frost, and mage armor to name a few. They're called cantrips and any caster can use them. Then you can pick any two of the first level spells here," he pointed to the next column, "For what you've learned" "Your backstory can be whatever you want. It's mostly there to explain why your character is and does what they do." Dexter explained, "Some people say that they lived in a protective home and fought for the individuality by becoming a deviant like a rogue or necromancer. Others say they had a loving home and followed in their parents hoof steps and class choice. It's up to you."

ooc: I will freaking strangle Dexter! That's the second time I've created an opportunity for him to start building into how he likes Ever and haven't shown anything for it. You did say you wanted him to like her right? Also, not like real creating of characters, but the dynamic of it. All my characters had a purpose for doing what they did. Daring, obviously expressing her love for adventure and hatred for history. Tornado wanting to understand her friends better. Mith wanting to be strong and capable instead of weak. Ever wanting a real family and looking at Celestia as a mother figure. It was more about revealing themselves than creating a character. "That's a lot of spells." Tornado said. "How about you guys pick for me and I can learn to use what you give me?"

OOC: I'm going to try harder to show this love thing that eludes me. I'm not a fan of sudden character changes so I'll also try and play it from what's happened thus far.
BIC: "Alright, I think you'll like the touch spells and the defensive spells. Then it'll be like you're a fighter. I'm already a ranged caster myself." We'll compliment each other nicely like that. How's your character coming along?" He asked Daring who had been pretty silent up till now." "So, how's your back story coming along?" Dex said peaking over Ever's shoulder at her sheet, leaning back a bit in his chair as he did.

"What do you mean 'how is my character coming along'?" Daring asked Cloud. "You're suppose to fill in all the things that will make me an adventurer. Athletic and dexterous with no history. My backstory wasn't that hard to write: A adventure loving pegasus with a father that doesn't approve of her going out, but she finally defies him and sets out on her own to adventure!" Ever was a bit nervous at Dex coming so close to her, her fight with Posh and Ritz wasn't that long ago making her extra careful towards strangers, fearing that they may also turn out to be bullies. "Oh, I... I'm almost done. I don't know if it's very good. Could you tell me?" She pushed the paper towards Dex where he could read without having to watch over her shoulder. The backstory was mostly of a loving white griffon mother that was worried that her daughter wanted to go out into the world and made her promise to write back every day.

"Alright, fine." Cloud took the paper and began filling out the other points. He gave her proficiency in things like dungeoneering, athletics, and acrobatics with a state distribution at such: Str=13 Dex=14 Con=12 Int=11 Wis=8 Cha=10. A character like this would be relatively balanced without many faults beyond those that come with their personality. "Cool." Dex said as he took the paper and continued reading down the list of items. After a second he handed it back, "You know what? I think that a clerical type class would fit your character better. They have a benevolent streak almost by nature and are very group focused. That way, it's like some of the kindness of her mother has rubbed off on her." he said and pointed to the area, a wide smile across his face from his idea. Besides, she seemed the meeker kind of player and a kind cleric might just be easier to play.

ooc: I had Daring ask him to put no history for a purpose. I want her to be upset at how badly she does without any Lore after the game. "Do you think so?" Ever asked looking not so sure herself. "I don't know if I could play a benevolent character like that."

OOC: I'll edit then. Forgot about that honestly.
BIC: "No? But you already seem pretty kind on your own and you've probably got a good role model. I think you should try it. Even if your not kind now, trying to play the kind pony can only make you better." He said with a wide smile to Ever as he slid the sheet back to her, "But it's up to you. It is your character after all." After Cloud finished the character sheet, he handed it back to Daring, "There you go. Super athletic pony with no history."

"Well I suppose it's just for a game." Ever said blushing slightly. "It couldn't hurt to give it a try." There was excitement in her eyes as she changed her character to a cleric. "Awesome! Thanks Cloud." Daring said. "I can already taste the moldy air of a dungeon. This is going to be great." Mith and Tor also finished their characters and handed the sheets over for approval.

Cloud checked Tors paper while Dex checked Miths. (I can't remember who was sitting by who) And after a moment they handed them back and gave their comments. Everything seemed to be in order and they were ready to go on to the next part in record time.
OOC: Did you have anything else planned, or can we move on to the test run?

Dex pushed his paper onto the floor to clear some space on the table and began pulling out some puzzled tiles out of his box. He put the four pieces together to create a room about 10x10 squares or 100 yards in a square shape. In the center of one tile he placed a group of three Kobold lizards and in the opposite corner he placed 5 tokens, each with a symbol for the respective class. he then added a little piece of paper above each piece, two with names already on it. These two were Cloud and his characters and the rest were blank for the girls to fill them in, "I'll make you guys real figurines later, but for now these will do. Just right the name of each of your characters and put them on your class icons."
<Eversummer Slate> (cause I don't have a real name in place)
In this room, which was very large indeed, a sleek but tall dragon wizard and a sly earth pony rogue were sitting around a campfire, not yet doing anything but still full of potential.

ooc: I thought we were going to put the rp in quotes.
"Cool." Tornado said. "So this is a map of where we are? And we're all together over here." Daring filled in her own name and put it down. Mith wrote down 'Titania' and Ever used 'Celeste'. Tornado looked at the names. "I'll just use my own name as well if that's okay." She wrote down Tornado and put it down. "So are we all friends right now or are we strangers that got together?" She asked. "I think we should all be friends, since we're already friends now." Ever said. "Works for me." Daring added.

OOC: Was up to you. I'm fine either way.
BIC: "That's fine. And this is more of a tutorial. We'll start by getting into character and then move on to combat once we're all set." Dex said as he pointed to his character. "We'll speak and act for out characters around the campfire. Agree on who knows who and what we know about each other." "So let's get on it." Cloud said and pointed to his own character. "I'll give us a little setting and atmosphere. Something to get us started." Dex added.
OOC: We don't have to double words spoken, just keep the main characters speaking to reacting to what happens in the other world.
BIC: <Eversummer Slate>
OOC: Sly knows noone, the griffon, minotaur, and female dragon know each other, and the male dragon and Pegasus know each other? To keep to the relationship of the players?

ooc: Ever did say they were all friends, but we can do it that way too. Up to you.
"Wait, sorry." Tornado said. "I guess that's how I'd act normally. But if I'm just a rookie it's not so bad, I guess. Still, calling somepony a scrub, I think I'd still be offended a bit."
<Eversummer Slate>
"So is your character single Cloud? Or also searching for his lost love?" Daring asked him out of the blue.
