OPEN DAY!!!

It was the big day of the Tension Heights opening, those who had been lucky enough to be selected for division (if you could call it that) had been sent letters confirming their spot. Not many other details were given, they were told bring change of clothes and expect to be living there on the campus but thatâ€s it… It was presumed to be a similar drill to the Sex Wars campus previous to it.

On open day, signs had been put up on the main gates and back entrance direct people towards the assembly hall in the middle of the campus. There was no staff about, but the doors had been left open. A big screen at one end of the Assembly hall displayed the following list:

For now, everyone should post into this topic and not create others.. After a certain period of time, this topic and RPs will closed down and you will be free to start topics elsewhere)

Ryu crossed the main gate following the indications to the assembly hall, a small sport bag filled with a few clothings being all of his luggage.

Looking at other boys and girls hurrying here and there around the place he felt a strange mix of excitement and perplexity:
excitement, because a new adventure was about to start and being admitted to the 4 main houses of Tension Heights meant a big chance for a young wrestler to improve their skills;
perplexity, because he thought that placing people into a certain house regardless of their styles, attitude and preferences was surely going to create... well... TENSIONS.

The young japanese smirked at such semi-humoristic thoughts, walking past the doors of the main hall until he stopped before the large screen.
"Uhmm... Byakko, White Tiger of the West... doesn't sound bad, like a house of strong fighters. Let's hope we're not going to be the nerds of the campus instead XD", he laughed, talking to nobody in particular.

Cecilia walked onto the campus of what was now Tension Heights, she was dressed in a blue t-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers, The Golden Queen was carrying a sports bag filled with some clothes and stuff, and a back pack filled with a little more clothes in it, she had heard she was going to live here, she disliked the idea, she still kept her penthouse, one of the perks of being rich, she could keep her penthouse with no problem.

The Swede looked around at everybody that was making their way towards all the people making their way in through the main entrance, she walked in and looked around a little before she looked around, walking up to check what house she had been admitted to, the blond beauty began to lock around at the big board before she found her name on the list, looking over beside her to find a guy seemingly talking to himself, but as she heard him mention Byakko, Cecilia looked back on the big board only to see that she was in Byakko.

No sense in not introducing herself, turning over and stretching out her hand towards the guy, "Hey..I'm Cecilia, seems like we are in the same house" Cecilia said with a smile as she offered a handshake to the guy.

The taxi parked in front of the building and with her usual grace came out Emelie. She was wearing a flower dress that hugged her slender body tightly and flowed so naturally as she walked that made it look as if it could be blown away if the breeze got just blew a little harder. The gorgeous blonde walked from where the taxi left her to the hall in the middle of the campus as if she was going through a catwalk in a fashion parade. Emelie was extremely nervous, joining Tension Heights knowing absolutely nothing about wrestling, being in a completely different country and having heard some rumors about the previous projects of AFW and its reputation; still the blonde acted cool and aloof, walking into the place as if she owned it, carrying only a small purse with her, the dark glasses that covered her eye helped her hide her anxiety.

Emelie stood in front of the big screen and lowered her glasses to read the names in it, pretending she was completely ignoring everybody else while she quickly checked them... immediately noticing the girl with the Swedish accent. She remained a couple of second looking at Cecilia while acting as if she wasn´t looking, unable to help comparing herself with the other blonde. She looked strong, and probably actually knew a few things about wrestling... but Emelie knew she was prettier, and a wicked smile formed in her lips as she turned her eyes, hidden in the sunglasses, to the screen.

"What?!" Emelie finally exclaimed after a few minutes. She had checked the screen over and over and... "My name is not there!"

"Eep.." Lost in his own thoughts, Ryu got almost startled by the Swedish girl. Immediately recomposing with a slight blush of his face, he turned to her and found himself in front of a very gracious blond girl, slightly taller than him even in her sneakers, stretching out a hand for him.

"Oh, nice to meet you Cecilia. My name is Ryuke but you can call me Ryu if you like", he replied clenching hands with her. "Good.. now that i see you i'm sure that we won't be the nerds' house of the campus", he added with a nice laughter, feeling glad that he had met someone of his same House already.

While greeting his newly found team mate, Ryu could not help hearing another female voice protesting, and he turned to that side only to see a second lovely-looking blonde, though quite a different kind of beauty from Cecilia.

"Uh..? Problems with your assignation, there?", he asked to the new girl, doing his best not to smile in amusement at her "spoiled model" looks with the big sunglasses at all, which he found a little funny for a campus focused on wrestling and fighting arts.

Annoyed, Confused and slightly tired at the moment that is how Darren Hopeless felt. He had been told he had signed up to Tension Heights. To be honest that wasn't to hard for the blonde male he signed things without reading them mainly to get people to leave him alone. They always seemed to pick the most awkward and annoying situations to pester him with things. Usually when he was trying to sleep. The easiest way to get people to leave him alone. Agree with them.

It was quite a while before Darren had finally made it to the campus. Between constant breaks and his rather slow pace He was wearing something simple tracksuit bottoms a tshirt and sneakers. He made his way though the door and made a bee line towards the board mainly to see what this thing was about. His eyes scanned over the various house names. Okay this seemed rather interesting. He lightly rubbed the back of his head letting out a lazy yawn. His other hand was lightly rubbing one of his eyes.

It seemed as though a few people were already here and discussing their houses and such. It wasn't long before he found his name. "Genbu, Black Tortoise of the North" He recited boredly. Letting his hand slowly move away from his naturally messy blonde locks. To be honest it looked like he had just got up as always. His tired blue eyes turned towards the two females and the male who were also infront of the board almost looking for some kind of indication of any of them being in the same house of him. If he didn't get it he was pretty sure he could just go back to sleep or something.

Emelie was furious and despite the big dark sunglasses that hid her lovely green eyes the flush on her face clearly showed how annoyed she was. The lovely blonde girl crossed her arms in front of her chest and tapped with one of her high heeled shoes on the floors, with a posture that indicated clearly that she was demanding an explanation... Unfortunately for her, there was absolutely nobody there to give her one.

How could her name not appear? She signed the pappers. They told her she was in. She was too important to be forgotten or left aside!... Was she not? The doubts started to creep in Emelie's head and she began to feel very unease and desperate. She looked around but there was no indication of what to do...and noone of the people present seemed to be part of the staff.

She heard one guy talking to her, but she immediately realized he wasn't a member of the staff and immediately dismissed him as being of any help. Still she felt like she needed to complain, and at least the boy was paying her attention."My name is not there!!!" she whined, turning around to see him through her sunglasses. "I should be in!"

Cecilia smiled as she shook the guy's hand, he seemed nice, but one of the names on the list of Byakko caught her attention a bit more than the others, she couldn't believe and she honestly didn't want to deal with it today. so she dismissed it, for now.

The Swedish beauty looked back a the blond girl that had walked in, she was a pretty little thing, didn't look like much of a wrestler or a fighter, but she noticed her accent, and accent from her home land, she walked over towards what she hoped was another Swedish girl, she gave her a friendly smile as she reached out her hand towards her, "Hello...fellow Swede I presume...It's a pleasure to meet you!...Names Cecilia, Cecilia Northman!" Cecilia said with her friendly smile, as she looked around after hearing her protest to see if there was anybody around who could help them, but there seemed to be none, "Look...I'm sure it's just a simple mistake...maybe you got to choose house...look I am sure we can fix this" Cecilia said as she tried being friendly and try to sort out this situation.

"Uhm, thinking of it, i haven't seen any staff people, not even at the main gates", Ryu noticed rubbing his own hair. He had noticed the cute girl's expression shift from extremed disappointemed to disoriented...and eventually desperate, which made him feel wishful to help the unknown girl. After all, she seemed to be just a funny girl nervous and needing a driendly welcome, in spite of her supermodel attitude. Or that was his thought in any case.

"Well Cecilia here and me have been assigned to the Byakko house, so this is what we can do if you agree: let's wait for the screen to be updated with your name and, in case it doesn't happen, you can be a guest of the White Tiger, just for tonite. Oh and by the way my name is Ryu, nice to meet you." , he would say willing to reassure Emelie.

By now Emelie was quite desperate, she wasn't counting on finding herself in this situation of apparently being left out. She wasn't good dealing with this kind of administrative adversity. She hated when things weren't ready for her. Why people couldn't do their job right!? The cute blonde realized she was once again on the way to throwing a tantrum. And although she felt fully justified to, she knew it wasn't going to help.

Emelie sighed clearly showing her disappointment, but not wanting to be rude with those people, who were actually being very friendly, she dropped her supermodel act a little.

"Hello..." She said with a smile as she shook Cecilia's hand. "I am Emelie Headingsjõ... And yes... I'm Swede too... From Västerås!" she said kind of excited. But she quickly collected herself and tried to act cool.

"Yes...yes... Someone will surely realice this is a mistake a come to fix it...soon..." Emelie said trying to calm herself. "....thank you..." she said as if she was speaking to both of them. "...and... You are from?..."
