REOPENING HALLOWEEN WEEKEND
I am putting this in Art & Creativity, because that's what it will involve most of all. It's a tool to test and develop your creativity and skills, but to do so in a fun way!
The amazing banner was made by Kydila. Great, isn't it?
This is a repost – the second year at St Colette's has begun and the doors have been opened to students new and old.
The prestigious St Colette's Finishing School is in the rural countryside of England, in an idyllic old castle and vast grounds, complete with maze. Do you have what it takes? Can you survive a year at St Colette's Finishing School, rise to the top? It's time to Sink or swim.
The reason that places are limited is so that it doesn't get too confusing. But there are plenty of spaces 
Weekly activities.
Post a picture (outfit) with your story/role-play piece.
Interact with others.
Suggest characters for yourself or others.
If you want to be one of the additional/original characters, the please message me.
The uniform is blue, with a white shirt/top
Characters up for grabs:
Don't worry if someone has posted the number before, if you're unsure just check the student list.
1
She's dainty and lives in vintage. If Stepford existed, she'd be at home there. From a troubled family, St Colette's has become her home and finally, free of distractions, she is starting to settle. She's set to come out on top this year, but could the new boys' college next door be the biggest distraction yet?
2
She's trouble. She's on her last chance at St Colette's, one more strike and she's out. She can't go home to that evil step-mother, bent on destroying her life, but will she behave for long enough to stay at St Colette's until the end of term?
3
CLOSED
4
She's the dork, the one that wears those horrid glasses and is always head first in a book or her laptop. But it works, because she gets great grades. But this year she's bored and she wants to change.

The Rules
You will be placed in a dorm. If you want to change, take it up with the Head Girl through the role-play.
When showing your room you must use a room you have in “My Home" not a photograph off of the internet.
You are an 11-18 character, try to keep it real. But the spy is back.
Try to write at least a paragraph each time, and try to join in at least once a week.
Activities are a guideline, but it'd be nice if you tried to keep to them. They help to guide the story and inspire you. Tangents are very much welcome.
Editing is encouraged. Not full on stuff, just using the resources offered by various members of Miss Bimbo. It's easy to do on paint. There is a resource list below that will be constantly up-dated.
Interact with other players. It can be difficult keeping up with other players, but this is so no one gets left out.
This should go without saying, but follow the rules of the forum. NO chat-speak, type in proper English. Be nice, don't pick fights. Stay on topic, don't thread jack. Time wasters are not appreciated. If I called you out for some reason on the forum for breaking the forum rules, and you use this thread to insult me, I will report you. Do not use this role-play to advertise your party/website/role-play/contest/thread/home/profile/etc. I will report you if you don't adhere to the forum rules.
Resources
Just make sure you credit the people whose edits and such you use in your post. Wouldn't want you to be accused of stealing, would we?

The Students
All of the students are listed here, so that you can check back to find out little details.
Emilieelectric
She's gorgeous and popular; she starts the trends, she sets the scene. Rather straight forward and known for her high designer clothing, she always looks immaculate. She's done a spot of modelling although the only type she is truly interested in is catwalk. She's best friends with MissB and Mandy and together they rule the school. The terrible three have separated themselves from the rest of the school, keeping their exclusive status and it’s going to remain that way... But can a new term with new students keep the trio and their status intact?
MissBabyGash
Miss B is a rich girl who is friendly and outgoing, but stuck-up, and best friends with popular girls Emilie & Mandy. She enjoys art, drama and expensive things; anything not designer isn't worth wearing.
Lalabuggie
She's the bright star, the belle of the ball. She's set to go places. She's spoiled and sassy and everyone on the staff is on her side. She's good at sports, a winner, and she's getting offers from model agencies left right and centre. Lala is always the head of the class. She loves getting the attention from her peers around her and looking down on the lower classes. However now things are starting to change. She is starting to notice that everyone around her isn't who they claim to be...
KerisKILL
Keris is a bubbly girl with a love for colour and follows no fashion rules. She's a hard worker when she puts her mind to something but can be generally be quite ditzy and confused. She spent last year at St Colette's camped on the Head Girl's couch after arriving towards the end of the year, but this year she's going to be there from the beginning.
The Cretin
Last year Zara Desiderius Erasmus was suspended from St. Collette's for the remainder of her year. Now she was back after her miniature gambling ring and old test selling escapade. Her parents, one oblivious Stepford wife, the other a father with a shady 'construction' business inspired her to never become her mother and one day take over the family business. Zara is a sarcastic, snarky, rude, but clever girl who tends to be compassionate to the under dogs. With barely average grades and doing what she can to outshine her twin brother at the school next door, Zara has some big plans with Misery for St.Collette's.
Misery Nightshade
Misery was sent to St Colette's by her ultra-straight laced parents, who believe that the school can stamp out her rebellious streak, but its only egging her on. She has a talent for art and literature and is romantically involved with a guy at the boys school. Her dream is to be an artist, rather than the housewife her mother hoped she would be. She enjoys living in the attic with Zara, is friendly but tends to be sarcastic and anti-social to people whom she is not truly comfortable around.
Saphire99
She's the estate girl. Her pride and joy are her three puppies, Cabrurys, PGtips and Costa (A Chocolate lab, A Rockweiler & a Spaniel). Her family is very muddled with dad gone and living from rich to poor in a couple of weeks. She's set to come out on top this year, but could the new boys college next door, St. Goshweils, be the biggest distraction yet?
SexyEbb
She is the Australian transfer student and she's here to cause trouble and get to the top. She's not one for this school, isn't a fan of Tea Dances and sewing hems and etiquette. How will she cope when she's thrust in to the middle of this quintessentially English finishing school?
DemiLovatoHugeFan
She's the new girl, the one with no identity. Will she grow in to her own or be drowned by the personalities at St Colette's Finishing School? She's here to make a new start and no one knows her past.
S3LENA
Her family is very conservative and for all of her life she has lived under their collective shadow. Now she's at St Colette's Finishing School and it's her chance to shine. But will she get what she ultimately wants at the end of her stay, or will she follow in her mother's footsteps?
JadisX
Rysa's a walking bundle of contradictions - quiet and polite, yet sarcastic and blunt at the drop of a hat; she likes quiet places and isloation, but often seeks out other people's approval and companionship. She's also a perfectionist, obsessively retouching details as small as her handwriting on a test paper. An aspiring interior designer, she enjoys drawing out floorplans of apartments - and sometimes, even rough villages.
Aislingrace
She lives in a it of a fantasy land, and always thinks the best of everyone, no matter who they are or what they do. She eats and drinks all organic and free range, a bit of a hippie really. Could St Colette's bring out a different side of her?
Scarebear23
Awaiting character info.
lilmisslifewentwrong
Isabella-Alice is the American exchange student from L.A she’s not too full of herself but she does flaunt her money as much as she can. She loves anything sparkly and loves making new friends but etiquette is definitely not her thing, She’d much rather spend her time shopping for the latest Dior creation or have afternoon tea with her girls. She’s very into fashion, dancing, acting and modelling and really wants to excel in her education just to prove her parents wrong especially because her step mother is the reason she been sent to st collets.
R3gan
Alexis Morgan is kind, creative, affectionate, sometimes sullen or rebellionous, and always more than a little unpredictable. She procrastinates and is easily distracted, but she always manages to get straight A's (with the help of a few all-nighters). Her parents are loving but distant, and relieved to send their whirl-wind daughter off to another school. Alexis loves to people-watch, and can often be found up a tree or sitting on a window-ledge. Will St Colette's help her find her balance, or send her spiralling - and will she take anyone with her when she goes?
MisstressMurder
This one is the fashionista. Mini couldn't be more obsessed and quite frankly, she thinks the high-street blows. She designs a lot of her own clothes and wants to own her own boutique when she leaves St Colette's, but will her love of fashion withstand the boys next door?
Zuzucandy
Aspasia is a rather normal girl. Not being a prodigy, she is beautiful, smart and funny enough to make her a pleasant appearance. She likes art, reading and writing. Not the kind who pushes a boy she has known for only 10 minutes into a room and locks the door. Aspasia has a few secrets and hopes that the life at St. Colette's will make her forget some unpleasant recent events. Has often mood swings and doubts about her sexual orientation.

[I just changed the form, so you have to post a picture now. I'll let you two off, but do it asap. If you want to communicate out of character but in the thread, do so like this in square brackets, it stops as much confusion
]
I sighed as the car pulled up outside the thick wooden doors. I'd missed this old building, but it was nothing compared to how much I would miss my boyfriend. I looked at him in the driving seat, "Come visit, yeah?"
"School full of girls? How could I resist?" He laughed and I playfully slapped his arm.
"Well, I'm off now. Write or something, the head mentioned that the internet was down for a while so I'll not be e-mailing." I paused. "I love you." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and got out of the car.
"Love you too." I waved as he pulled away.
I waited until the car was out of sight before making my way up the few steps to the doors. It was time to sort out my room.
After the heat outside, the cool corridors of the school were like heaven. The quiet was eerie though, and I hurried up the stairs to the dorm floor. I had a lot of work to do, so I quickly unpacked only the essentials and sat down at my desk.

As the entrance grew nearer and nearer, I felt my stomach churn. Being a new student, I had no idea of what to expect. Would I make any friends, or would everyone hate me like.... before. You can't go wrong if you just be yourself, right? As long as none of my past er... history doesn't get out I should be totally fine. I hope.
I don't think I can do this but I have to. I walked up the steps slowly. One for every heartbeat. I took a deep breath, and stepped inside...

The car screetched to a halt, a blonde male opened the door to the ferrari. To those who had previously attended St Colette's he was known to be close to Emilie, MissB and Mandy. He scurried around as Emilie flicked her long blonde locks out of her eyes and twirled in her seat as the door opened for her. "Thank you" she smiled at David, adjusting her handbag on her arm. The male opened the boot to reveal four bright pink designer suitcases.
Emilie entered the reception. She looked around, nothing had changed. "Ah welcome Emilie glad to see you are back again" the receptionist said. Emilie smiled wondering if either MissB or Mandy had arrived.

Offline

A flawless white limousine pulled up outside the main school entrance, and the driver smartly walked over to open the door. Loads of girls were milling around, and stopped mid sentence to gawk at the limo. The driver openned the door, and Miss B stepped out, smiling in the beautiful sunshine.
"The summer sure has flown by! My second year at St Colette's - wonder what it'll be like?" she murmured to herself. As her driver got her luggage, she surveyed the girls that were hanging around the school steps, admiring her. She did a mental eye roll - the fashion had definately not improved since last year. Ignoring the other students, she walked into reception, her driver followed her with her favourtie Louis Vuitton suitcases. She smiled at him and blew a kiss, and he left. She signed in, and spotted Emilie.
"Emilie, darling!" Miss B cried, giving her a hug. "How were your holidays? Did you go anywhere exotic?"

Emilie glanced out the window, The White limo pulled up. Ah MissB has arrived Emilie thought to herself. She walked towards the entrance.
MissB entered the reception dressed all in white, giving her a healthy glow.
"Emilie, darling!" Miss B cried, giving her a hug. "How were your holidays? Did you go anywhere exotic?"
"Omgosh MissB looking as flawless as ever" She Smiled, "My hoildays were absolutely dashing, ending up on a private cruise around the shores of America how were yours?" She hugged missB, "oh, your hair is absolutely stunning, i love the cut, give us a twirl" MissB did a model twirl and placed her left hand on her hip.
Offline

It had been a month or something since I had last been to this school.
I was excited to see Emilie and Miss B again.
I looked out the window the trees flying past us.
Karn was sitting in the drivers seat with a smug look on his face.
"What are you all smug about?" I raised my eye brow.
"Nothing," His smugness disappeared from his face.
I groaned, I hated school but not has much as I hated my last life, the only thing that made me go to this school was Emilie and Miss B and the drama.
"Where here." Karn said in a sing song voice.
I glared at his happiness. Karn went to the Boys school not to far from here.
I looked out the window the first thing I saw was Emilie and Miss B.
"I'll help you with the bags." Karn muttered unbuckling his seatbelt.
"Yes, yes you will."
I hopped out of the hummer and slammed the door behind me.

Summer had gone by so fast, well it seemed fast, Misery and I got to see each other a bit and from what I heard we both had some flings during this time. Her and Edward were finished last year as were Lars and I.
Guess it was time to find some new friends, we probably wouldn't be hanging out with Alex this year.
My father's vintage hotrod, draw a bit of attention from some of the girls, but most had their eyes glued to the rows of limos.
"You've seen one limo, you've seen them all" My dad smiled at me, as he passed me my duffel bag as him and Alex carried out some boxes to go into the attic.
"Thanks dad!" It was nice of him to actually drive this year, I looked back at my brother who was moving into the front seat, "bye Alex, I'll tell Misery you say hello"
He grumped as my dad cheerfully waved goodbye.
The boxes were all marked and would be brought up to my room, but I kept my duffel.
Hopefully Misery would get here soon.
I saw Corazie walking into the school.
"Hello Corazie"
"Well, back on time" she smiled, "and a whole year without a suspension..I'm impressed!" We began small talk until we reached the dorm floor where we parted ways and I started up the stair case.

Offline

"Don't embarass yourself, and for heavens sakes, don't get into trouble!" Misery clamoured to get out of the dainty but firm grasp of her mother, the poor woman was hysterical aand causeng quite a scene. Finally prying her mother's hands from her own arm, Misery took in a deep breath and turned to the school 'Home' she smiled, waving nonchalantly at her parents, Misery picked up her case and strode through the wooden doors.
Reaching the top of the rickety attic-stairs, Misery drew in another deep breath and kicked open the door, well, whats a girl to do when her hands are full of boxes? Not caring about the scuff mark left on the paint work, Misery wandered inside and tipped the boxes on her bed, along with her jacket, revealing a long jagged scar up her fore-arm, it still ached every so often, a painful reminder of last year. She was completely oblivious to her surroundings, not noticing that there was someone else in the room.
Offline

Misery was running her hand down her arm, "whatcha doing?" I snuck up behind her and made her jump.
"ZARA!" Her voice half filled with anger, half filled with excitement, "How long have you been here?"
I pointed to my pile of stuff, "long enough to not unpack!" Then Misery, being Misery, spun around the room, looking at every single area, the vintage vanity was still there and as she sat down on the bench she smiled and said,
"I love this place!" She continued to look around the room with a big smile on her face, "I missed it so much! I spent the most of last summer in a baby pink room," the smile turned into a sly grin, "until I painted it dark blue."
Knowing Misery's mom like I do I knew that must had caused a fuss.
I flopped onto her bed and saw the scar on Misery's arm, "hey, what happened there?"

Offline

A familiar blonde girl approached. "Mandy!" Emilie said "How great, the three of us together again for another year." She gave her a hug. There were now several groups of girls gathered within the reception.
"Dorm three, is ready for students, Emilie, Mandy and MissB" Emilie smiled pulled open her handbag and took out the bottle of antibacteria liquid then approached the desk. "That would be us then" She said taking the key. She looked at a young group of girls, "Fancy earning yourself £50?" she said smiling, the girls nodded she pointed to the pile of bags which belonged to MissB, mandy and herself. "Bring those upstairs for us" She said then turned on her heel as the girls scurried to get the items. "Let's go and see what state this room is in," MissB said rolling her eyes. The girls walked up the stairs with Emilie spraying disinfectant onto the key and her hands.

I'M HERE POST TOMORROW OK!)

"It was when I fell on those rocks last year." A look of comprehension dawned on Zaras face "My ankle still clicks as well." To prove her point, Misery slid her boot off and moved her ankle in a circle, it cracked sickeningly several times underneath her sock. Zara looked disgusted and wrinkled her nose, Misery cackled "Everyone hates it when I do that."
"Yeah, I see why." Zara shuddered "We have physical-ed soon...what'cha taking?"
"Fencing." Misery's answer was out of her mouth before Zara had even had a chance to draw breath.
"I should have known" Zara rolled her eyes "Are you sure you don't want to dance?" Misery cracked her ankle again "Horse riding?"
"Horses are freaky."
"Lacrosse?"
"Have you ever seen me in shorts?" Misery giggled.
Offline

[Ok?]
They entered the dorm, and Miss B glanced around distastefully as Emilie paid the girls who had carried their suitcases.
"They painted the walls green? And not even jade green - lime green? Ew. I am totally redoing my room," Miss B said. She sat on her bed, and pulled out her mobile, which had just started buzzing. She glanced at the screen - Robert. She sighed in annoyance, and let it go to voicemail.
"Miss B? I don't know why you aren't returning any of my calls, maybe your phone's turned off, but I need to speak to you. I miss you. I know you miss me too, so call, 'kay? Well, um, bye." The voicemail ended.
"Stalker," she muttered, before stuffing her phone back into her pocket, and glanced at the dreary walls, wondering what she should do with her room this year.

I stood in the reception area, shifting my weight from one leg to another. I was uneasy. I was being stared at and I didn't like it. Yes, I was new - but I'm not a freakin' alien for crying out loud! Then more and more girls entered. They obviously knew each other. They hugged and chatted, then got the key to their dorm. One of them had a bottle of antibac gel with her. Gosh. I mean, I like to keep clean and I wash my hands regularly, but come on. My eyes followed the group as they payed a group of girls to carry their luggage! My jaw dropped, but I quickly closed it again and looked down at my feet. What am I getting myself into? Well, it's better than going...back there. I can already tell that I might have a hard time fitting in around here but I guess I have no choice. Without noticing, I was pacing back and forth. I looked up, to find I was being stared at. I stared back, but eventually gave in and looked away. I wonder what they're thinking about me. I wonder who I'll be put in a dorm with.
Offline

I laughed, "I've seen you in shorts and I think you're a little too self conscious!" Misery was still cracking her ankle, "I think I'm gonna do some lacrosse. Make it full body contact."
"Getting violent are we?" I srunched my faced at Misery, I had gone a whole year without getting into major trouble, I needed some form of outlet and that wasn't going to happen with horseback riding or dance, "Why don't you come into fencing"
"Fencing is about grace, annnd I'm about as gracefully as a drunk trucker."
I walked into the bathroom with non-uniform clothing and got changed into them, Misery kept talking to me through the open door, "I don't know, I've seen a trucker do a really nice pirouette before". I stuck my arm out and gave her the finger. I poked my head out grinning like a madman,
"Wanna check out the new students?"
Misery nodded in excitement, "Might as well, seeing how we won't be seeing much of Alex and his gang."

Misery shimmied her boot back on, and stood gracefully from the bed, she loped over to the door and held it open for Zara. "I wonder if we can recruit any to our cause this year." Misery sighed, locking the door behind her.
"What cause?"
"To raise hell and annoy the boys and casue general havoc and disarray." Misery flashed her straight, white teeth, her canines were rather sharp and Zara mentally noted never to recieve a bite from her. Misery flattened herself against the wall as a first year came flying past.
"God..." Misery gawped "I'm sure I wasn't that small then I was 11!"
"Well you haven't grown much since Miz, your barely pushing 5"1." Zara laughed, and dodged the kick aimed in her direction.
Offline
"Lime green..." I murmured with distaste. "Ahhh, we need to fix this."
"I'm already on it." Emilie had her phone out and was quickly texting.
"That was quick." I laughed.
Miss B stood there staring into the room. "What did they do to it?" She whispered.
I grinned at her expression.
"Uhm, h-here are the last bags."
I turned my head, the girls that were carrying our luggage stood in the hall way.
"Just put them over there." Miss B said pointing to the end of the room.
