[justify]welcome to our main administration offices. our lovely staff have prepared a handbook for you to skim over and abide by. within this board, you'll find our plot, our guidelines, and other information you could find quite useful. we hope the information within will quench any burning questions or concerns. if not, check the frequently asked questions. if all else fails, hopefully an administrator is on to answer your question in the cbox. we hope to see you as a member of iynto.

[justify]attention ladies and gentlemen, we have either recent news, a site-wide poll, an activity check, a new event, of the month votings, or just some thread that might be deemed important located in this board. around the end of every month, you'll find of the months and activity checks within. when a new event is announced, you'll find the information thread located here. any site-wide announcements or polls that may be important will also be located within this board. be sure to check back often so you don't miss something that may or may not be important. thanks for your cooperation.

[justify]when you are in need of assistance, especially in your great time of concern, please don't hesitate to come and ask a question. of course, we provide a frequently asked questions thread, so make sure to check there. in the meantime, we're also taking suggestions to better improve the forum for members and potential members. if you have an amazing idea, or you are feeling inquisitive, feel free to drop by this board. i suppose it'd be helpful to mention we're guest-friendly.

[justify]after you've read the rules, the plot, and you have an overall understanding about how we roll at IYNTO, then you may come to create your character. before creating a character, please check out current bans, the face claim, and some of the accepted or denied applications. there is a specific format provide for you to use alongside an ability list to point you into the right direction. once you're ready to post your app, please post it in the correct board. you may not post until you have been accepted - even in the games and ic chat please be patient. the administrators have lives too, and your application may not be our most important priority. however, we'll get to it as soon as possible.

[justify]out of sheer skill, you have won your battle of character creation. you character has been accepted and you can no roleplay freely in any of our given boards. our accepted applications are based on our member groups. please note: our approved applications are locked. if you wish to modify your application, pm an administrator for it to be moved back to pending applications and unlocked. if you become inactive, your account is deleted, or you retire your character, it'll be moved to the character archives, located in this board. zero locals, zero college students, zero teachers, zero seniors, zero juniors, zero sophomores, and eleven freshmen. zero females and zero males. we've got zero characters!

[justify]mostly for the organization of our site, the character directory handles claims. claims include email, cell phone number, instant messenger, job, birthday, handwriting, extra-curriculars, and most importantly, a face claim. more in-character business, dormitory assignments and class schedules are also displayed within this board. a full list of members and their characters can be found here also. please make sure you claim all the claims that apply to your character before you begin roleplaying. face claim and member lists are most likely the most important we know claiming stuff is a drag, but we need this stuff on record for you, me, and your fellow members. be a team player, and claim your claims!

[justify]plotting is quite often done here, this is a place where you may create a profile for each character to be plotted with. we ask you create one per character, but you can have all of your characters on one page if you wish. need some juicy drama? this is the place to be. there's many, many other characters just dying to be plotted with. maybe an emo kid wants to hate some sunshine girl. maybe that same sunshine girl wants to date an emo kid. you never know, anything is possible, so get plotting. if you don't, well, the consequences are too cruel to describe. may that be motivation enough?

[justify]there is two obvious reasons you might be visiting my realm of temptation. uno, you have this amazing plot and need someone to take the said plot characters or dos, you have this incredible urge to create a new character and you're gonna go make someone love you forever by taking their plot. either that, or you're just lurking, which is cool. there's people who find making wanted ad characters a piece of cake. there's people who find it to be very difficult. it's all about personal preference, but the question is: are you taking a wanted ad?

[justify]i could easily tell you these are trackers and i could tell you trackers are self-explanetory, but what's the fun in that? these trackers are magical trackers for the awesomesauceness members of this unique and crazy forum we all call home. since we're human, and humans forget things, we have so kindly made this board for your useage. within this board is two sub-boards; one is for tracking threads and the other for tracking characters. they're pretty nifty and useful. care to use this great feature, friend?

[justify]a cellular phone, more commonly referred to as a cell or a cell phone, is a mobile device that almost every teenager has in his or her possession. some use their phone to send threatening messages to jerks and others use it to text their sweetheart at ridiculous hours of the morning. whatever or however you use your phone, you'll find it here. make a text, make a call, leave a voice mail or take a picture. just don't answer that next call. it's probably your mother wondering where you're at.

[justify]a quick way to communicate, send out invitations, or drop a hello, this is a special tool used by many. with tons of email providers, there's no where you could go wrong. from yahoo, gmail, hotmail, live, or any of the other guys, we got your back. sending a message may never have been so easy. just a click away, and there you go! it's sent. one word of caution, once it's sent, there's no turning back. you may not want to send that angry letter about your best friend. more drama than necessary will boil, i believe. do we really want that?

[justify]with such a self-explanatory name, why would we need a description? another nifty tool to come into contact with your friends, you can use this from aim, yahoo, and countless others. like an email, once you send it out, you're not getting it back. some use this for boredom, some ask for answers to homework, and others start that mushy gushy conversation boyfriends and girlfriends tend to have. either way, you're using it. remember, this is online, so watch out for stranger danger! who am i kidding? do kids really care about that these days? go wild!

[justify]Simply put, your class isn’t meeting your fancy and now you’re looking for alternative amusement. While your teacher drones on and on about the War of a million years ago, you can be talking about the cute new kid in the front row with the brown hair and green eyes. What fun! Be careful, though. We don’t want you getting caught. There might be some dire consequences, and we don’t want that, do we? No, I didn’t think so. Carry on.

[justify]another old method of communication, receiving a letter could mean the world to anyone. If someone took the time to write down their feelings rather do it over a text message, you should know this matter is very serious. Why go through the effort if it was something like ‘did you brush your teeth?’ or ‘you suck!’. It’s pretty pointless, really. Maybe someone is inviting you to their birthday or something, I don’t know. I guess you’ll have to read the letter to figure out.

[justify]when the going gets tough, do you sit down and give up? Do you refer to a journal? Do you turn to your lover’s shoulder to weep upon? Well, for those of you who write your troubles in journals, we have you covered. Whether it be that old leather-bound book with a lock or a journal online, you can pour your thoughts, insecurities, hatred, jealousy, angst, bliss, agony or just plain numbness into your own storybook. Some are forced to write to clear their minds for sport activities. Some do it on their own. It’s alright, just let it all out. I’m sure no one will read it. Just make sure they don’t find your hiding place under your mattress.[/justify]

[justify] basically postsecret, this is where you post your character's true feelings, secrets, and confessions. you create a thread for your character, and include images to confess how they feel about another character, themselves, or just their opinions. keep in mind, only the character who posted the thread can read it. this is mostly an ooc activity. please use the corresponding account for every thread. you may only have one thread per character. have fun!

[justify]photos capture the soul of the moment and last until someone rips it up, but it’s still memorable. Photo albums are collections of the good memories, the bad memories, the sad memories, and everything beyond or in between. Use an old scrapbook or use an online photo gallery, we don’t care. Why not share some pretty pictures with us? We’d love to see you and your friends or family being complete idiots, or totally serious. Let us oooh and aaaah at your brilliant smile, mischievous dimple, or that spinach wedged between your teeth (not really).

Where would a school be without gossip? Who's dating who? Where were they on Saturday night? If your smart, you'd be careful with your shannanigans. The gossip can catch anyone. the scandalizer is not afraid of getting her hands dirty on special cases. on second thought, be grateful while you can. she gets anyone or everyone. spicy couple? she'll know you. heated debate? she'll find out. you're secretly gay? well, that won't be a secret for much longer. for those of her loyal readers, if you would like to give her some details, make sure you post as a guest in the subboard within. why not help stir up some drama, but you don't want anyone to know who you are. maybe use her advice column if you're worried about something. be careful though, she might trick you. she's a sneaky thing.

where else would the cars go? the more fortunate students with enough money (from their work or their parents) to get an automobile park their cars here. keep the speed under 15 and everything should be alright. don't forget to lock your cars! a special thing at newton beach high, you're allowed to buy a specific parking space and paint it however you'd like for the year. unfortunately, your grades also have to be about a 3.0 GPA. i suppose it's one way to motivate you to be good in school, eh?

[justify]this is where you go if you get in trouble. the principal, counselors, and lovely secretaries reside here. hopefully you don't do something too bad to get yourself here. make sure to respect the administration! you wouldn't want them breathing down your back while you walked the halls. if you go into the office, you'll see some chairs lined up for waiting, and then a hallway which would lead you to the counselors. they're pretty chill, and they'll help you with problems like friendship issues, getting over grief, schedule changes, and whatever else you need help with. the secretaries seem to hate the kids, but it's a job so they come anyways. lastly, the principal looks mean and stuff, but is actually super cool. did you know the principal likes to dance? yeah. fun trivia. i bet he'll deny it, though.

[justify]complete with green grass and a few palm trees, the courtyard is a nice place to be. there are benches in various places where you can sit and practice your telepathy or just do your homework. please respect the courtyard, no burning of the flowers or littering. this courtyard connects to all four hallways so it's a nice place to cut through if you're running a bit late. don't want to be tardy. or, you have a free period and don't know where to go? why not the courtyard? it's quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to just relax and stop worrying about that pre-cal test you took last period.

[justify]meant specifically for teachers, it comes equipped with a lovely suede couch and three various vending machines. some say that there is a pool table on the inside, but that's only a rumor. the teacher's pets and sneaky kids make it into here, with 75 cent soda pop. the front room is equpped with a nice kitchen, a nice coffee maker, and a nice fridge for your lunch. there's a cookie jar that may or may not be full, and a long table with the mornings newspaper on it. in the back room, copy machines, laminating machines, and basic supplies can be found. it's a pretty nice place to go for your prep period, especially when someone bought donuts or some other fun snack to share!

[justify]ah, the place of learning. this is where all the students go to get their straight A's and graduate looking like winners. wooden and metal desks litter every classroom, making a wonderful place for each individual student to sit while a teacher teaches them something important. beware: some teachers are nicer than others. sure, your friends may have said so and so was in a great mood today, but that was at third period. could so and so's mood change in the classes in between? tread with caution, young student. you don't want a whiteboard eraser or pen to be thrown at your head. that could be unpleasant. no sleeping, either. that doesn't make a happy teacher. no texting, no gum, no sleeping. those are about the most important rules for class. oh, and be quiet. we don't want to have to result in bubbles in the mouth, do we?

[justify]this is where all the magic called eating happens. the lunch ladies work fairly hard every day to give you the best tasting food they can manage. a bunch of long tables complete with benches are around for you to sit at and enjoy your warm instant lunch. yummy! unlike the rumors of other schools, the food here tastes decent. there's new specials every day, and sometimes there's tatertots. mmm. sound appetizing? there are a few different tables. there's the jocks, the nerds, the band geeks, and well, just about every other clique that you find in school. good luck trying to find a seat new students. maybe you'll visit the restroom for your first couple days...[/justify]

[justify]the auditorium has over 250 seats, all with a nice green fabric making them nice and comfy to sit upon. various things happen here, like drama, band, and choir performances. it's open all day, so students go here to practice their lung busting solos, or use the large area and silence to do their homework. no food or drink allowed! the drama club usually hang around here during their free periods, or stay after school to run lines. a lot of magic and self-discovery goes around on stage. with the spotlight on the leads, and the melodrama unfolding, it's hard to resist. make sure you get a ticket to the show quick! supporting parents and relatives seem to buy them pretty quick. the music and special effects are pretty awesome, too. once a year, representatives from schools in new york come and pick a couple kids for scholarships. how neat! are you good enough for that scholarship?

[justify]who doesn't love the choir room? the room is set at the very end of the performing arts hall at the left. the room includes a trophy case with a few rather large trophies and then some plaques of acknowledgment. the students of newton beach indulge in music from all eras with their voices as the instruments. a guitar, a piano, and a drum set was bought specifically for the room to have. on the back wall, a raised platform is full of chairs. the choir director's desk is in the corner with a mini fridge and everything. these kids are big dream seekers, or just looking for an easy way. either way, this room is still... well... the choir room.

[justify] here in the library the librarians enforce silence. they work too hard to keep the hundreds of books easy to access for students. there are a few round tables and computers for those students who don't have the internet at home, or just need some time to research. please don't damage books, or it will result in a twenty dollar fine. when you check out a book, you are allowed no more than five, not including textbooks. they are due back two weeks from the date you check them out, and a five cent fine comes into play with each day it's overdue. if you lose or damage the book, you must buy a new one for the library. the library is open from 7:30 to 2:30. you may come in at anytime, just as long as you have your pass.

[justify]the dreaded hallways. they get overcrowded in-between classes and silent and alone during. all the lockers containing text-books and your lunch from two weeks ago line the hallways, and the doors to all the various classrooms. cameras watch the halls, and catch the bullies that pick on the smaller freshmen. watch your step, and watch where you're walking! watch out for the freshmen gathering their spilled binder! watch out for that trashcan and jock! don't forget your pass! no running! no pushing! keep on the right side of the hallway! don't close the doors! would those teachers shut up already? oh, and watch your fingers. don't want a finger to get caught in the locker. talk about a bad day.

[justify]even though we live near a beach, this water is heated and chlorinated! going up to 20 feet deep, the swimmers use the lap pool to compete and practice. there is a hot tub for 16 and over, all protected by the lifeguards that do know CPR. the swim team meets a couple days of the week. no one is permitted to be in the pools without supervision or permission to be there. you may go in and practice if you're on the swim team, but others are strictly prohibited without signed permission from the lifeguards. the pool is cleaned daily by the janitors, so you don't really have to worry about that. no running, and no horseplay. extreme behavior will result in ejection from the pools.

[justify]polished wood floors with our school logo in the center, our gym is very professional. tall basketball hoops and bleachers on both sides for when we hold spirit bowl assemblies. the bleachers are seperates into four sections-- freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. all around, the banners of other rival schools. it's a pretty great place. the school gets fiery during basketball games with the scoreboard in the southern side of the gym. multiple basketball hoops hang up on the roof to be lowered. a divider hangs above the half-court line for dividing classes for physical education. oh, and the awesome speaker system to get the crowd rolling isn't bad either. go sharks!

[justify]this is where all the jocks like to call their second home. complete with a football field, track, tennis courts, basketball courts, and batting cages for anyone who likes physical stuff. play your heart out, kid! during football season, the football field is pretty poppin' with football practice everyday. the cheerleaders are constantly out on the field, too, working on their routines. the batting cages are nice, too, with new fencing being weaved and a better ball shoot due to school money. the stands in the football stadium are lead-free, and safe. the basketball courts are outside, too, but in good condition. the baseball diamond has fresh astro-turf, and looks pretty professional. athletics are probably one of newton's proud features, and we sure let people know it. during games, the colors of silver and white are everywhere. got team spirit? we think so! go, go sharks! [/justify]

[justify]this spectacular environment comes with two nice modern couches and plenty of little ficus plants. walls covered with pink doodles and pink shag carpet, the common room is any girly girl's dream area. equipped with a kitchen, a smoothie machine, a flat screen television and a juice bar, this is a sweet place to do homework or spend on saturday nights. there's also a pool table to bank your life away. a stereo provides great hits to dance and have some major fun. boys, no peeking.

[justify]the first floor of the girls dormitory, housing freshman, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and the likes. the first floor dormitory rooms are nice, but the lights will flicker if something is seriously going on upstairs. there's a plus side, too. if you're up early enough, you can run and get the television in the common room on that saturday morning. who doesn't like watching television, right? sneaking out is also easy since you can just pop open the window and sneak out. don't let the video cameras catch you. or, at least, i think there's video cameras watching.

[justify]the second floor, which is usually the noisy floor, holds many girls. at nights, you'll find girls flying in the halls going from one room to the next, almost as if migrating to a new home. they buzz in out of rooms and spend a lot of time in the common room. those on this floor know how to party, so things are constantly breaking and needing repair. to say screams were a necessity would be an understatement. these girls are always giggling, so much that some boys say they can hear them from their dorm around the corner.

[justify]not as noisy as the second floor partiers, the atmosphere on this floor is a little calmer and more tamed than anything else. there's a staircase to the roof on this floor and a fire staircase attached to some of the rooms. to get down, you'll have to take the stairs since the dormitory doesn't have an elevator working. that's alright, though. walking gives you muscles, and well, you just have to deal with it. it's not that bad. plus, your windows are perfect for water-ballooning your enemies. i wouldn't do that, though. you could get into some serious trouble.

[justify]much like the girls’ common room, the boys have pretty much everything to keep them busy. With a built in kitchen, the fridge and cupboards are filled with food and beverages. Also within the common is the huge plasma flat screen television, multiple gaming systems, a basketball hoop, a couple comfortable couches and a stereo. Boys spend long weekend nights down here if they have nothing to do, playing rock band or guitar hero with his buddies. Some of the come down in the middle of the night to go against their friends in basketball or something. Since the common room is never blocked off, feel free to go get some snacks. There’s lots of choices, so choose wisely.

[justify] The lowest floor, this floor of the dormitory is pretty quiet. While all the partying goes on upstairs, the people down here get some peace and quiet. People respect their curfew. People respect others. People even throw away their litter. How wonderful the first floor is. What’s more? They’re closest to the common room’s stocked kitchen. Do not be surprised if you can not find your favorite snack in the cupboard. With your luck, it’s probably all gone and disposed off on the counter, or hopefully, the garbage can.

[justify] With vines growing up the side of the dormitory, sneaking out from this floor is mighty easy. All you really have to do is open the window, take out the screen, and start climbing. You might see some of the first floor people on your way down, but that’s not too bad. This floor isn’t as reckless as the third, but it’s getting on its way. Instead of partying here, why not sneak off to celcius or something? I’m sure you’ll have more fun there. Dormitories are for sleeping away a hangover, not lounging around, right?

[justify] The third floor is usually reserved for the older fellows who love to party. Every night is a party night. There’s always noise until the school police tell them to knock it off, but even then they won’t stop. They’re party animals, usually juniors and seniors, but sophomores and freshman come, too. They party all night and are late for their classes the next morning. Obviously someone isn’t dedicated to their studies, eh? The third floor typically annoys the hell out of other floors, but what can we do about it? Nothing. If there’s anything worse than a rebellion teen, it’d be a rebellion teen with special abilities. Oh boy.

[justify]the co-ed dormitory is a mixture of both the male and female dorms. By far the best dormitory, it provides everything you’ll ever need. Also equipped with a kitchen, the fridge stores everything from fruit to meat to someone’s sock. Yes, a sock. The cupboard is filled with tasty snacks. The juice bar has a lot to choose from and the stereo is almost always blasting your favorite tunes. Of course, there has to be a bookshelf and bean bag chairs in the corner, but that corner feels awfully neglected. Did I mention there’s a flat screen television here, too? Well, there is. We also have your xbox, play stations, wii, and other game systems. How fun!

[justify] Like the other dorms, this floor is the quietest one, but I am sorry to say not by much. Apparently, if you allow boys and girls to share dorms, there’s no way there can be peace. When I said quieter, I meant you hear an average of one less scream than the other floors. Big difference, right? Anyways, the rooms on the first floor are pretty chill, and many of them are vacant while their occupants are at classes, visiting other dorms, or just staying at the parent’s house for a little bit. Well, at least sneaking out is easy. Don’t get caught.

[justify] Oh, it’s the second floor. Not really a special floor, this floor is just as obnoxious as the third. Parties go on, people get arrested for underage drinking, people get in fights, boys wrestle down the hallways, girls get into catfights, or there’s the angels who just walk down the hallway without breaking anything! The second floor can be pretty cool at times, but it is definitely a troublesome hallway. People are up early, hustling to get to their morning classes. You see boys and girls holding hands or simply walking side-by-side. Couples make-out on the wall. Yeah, it’s a pretty wild High school life. Ready to dismount it, yet?

[justify] Highest floor of the ground, a lot of the older students take advantage of this floor. Since there’s access to the roof from this floor, and a small balcony looking over the school campus, people come here to lounge around. In the hallways, people just talk or wait for friends. In the rooms, lots of things happen. Some people do homework, some heartbroken girls eat ice cream, so girls and guys just play scrabble, watch television, and then there’s the couples that cuddle for hours. Parties every night, lots of screaming, chaos, tragedy, and wow can describe this dormitory floor well enough. There’s other descriptions, but let’s not mention those.

where else would the cars go? the more fortunate students with enough money (from their work or their parents) to get an automobile park their cars here. keep the speed under 15 and everything should be alright. don't forget to lock your cars! a special thing at newton beach high, you're allowed to buy a specific parking space and paint it however you'd like for the year. unfortunately, your grades also have to be about a 3.0 GPA. i suppose it's one way to motivate you to be good in school, eh?

this is where you go if you get in trouble. the principal, counselors, and lovely secretaries reside here. hopefully you don't do something too bad to get yourself here. make sure to respect the administration! you wouldn't want them breathing down your back while you walked the halls. the most students that you see here are the lovely student council, and the seniors that are having trouble graduating. let's not forget that these teachers don't have powers! no threats, please.

this courtyard is completely different than the one at newton high. instead of lush green grass, it's grasses are dull, and two inches tall. the flowers are generic, probably tulips, in one giant circle in the middle surrounding a giant tree. there aren't any other trees, but there are plenty of benches. it's calm, not quiet, and very open. there are plenty of garbage cans around, so make sure to not throw your trash wherever you'd like to. the janitors and the environmentalists don't appreciate that. so grab your notebook and kick it back!

this is where the teachers hang out when the 'normal' kids are too much to handle. there are a bunch of vending machines, all with extremely cheap prices. there are a couple of very nice couches, with tables and chairs for eating. there's an ice maker machine, a foosball table, and it's been rumored to have a hot tub... but there's hardly any truth in that, right? only the smartest and wisest students get to sneak into the lounge to buy their teacher a drink or a snack. only they know the real secrets of the faculty lounge...

the classrooms look like everyone thinks they look like. desks in rows or tables depending on the teacher. the while walls with various posters about math, english, or history, trying to make it seem exciting to be inside. a white board at the front, and depending on the teacher, will or will not have writing on it. there's a clock and a television, so you can see the daily announcements. the air conditioning is controlled by the administrators, so the temperature could be anywhere. good luck with your homework!

everyone likes to eat food. well around noon is when this place is occupied with students. either they don't want to go to their dorm or they can't make food, so they stay in the cafeteria. there are about ten lunch ladies preparing the frozen food for all of the students. you can get some snacks, like cookies or nachos in the snack bar. there is a pizza line with a roll for those not wanting the more complex meals. make sure to throw your trash away and respect your lunch ladies!

here is where the stars are born. people in hollywood surely stood on their own high school stages, singing, dancing, playing, or acting for the whole school to see. there's a yearly talent show, winter show, spring extravaganza, and halloween bash. these four things have all of the music, drama, and dancing departments performing in them. it's a real treat for parents to come and see their children become a star. make sure you come and support your creative student body!

hundreds of books sit on the brown, old shelves here in donner beach high. your lovely librarians spend their days labeling, repairing, and checking in those books that you love to read. all the school's required books sit upon these shelves, along with encyclopedias if you don't have a computer or something. then there are many other books, fiction, non-fiction, biographies, and many more for students to choose from. be a good citizen and donate some of your old books so people who haven't read them get the chance! shh!

the swimming pool complex is it's own section of the school. the swimmers call it their second home, complete with bathrooms, showers, and a small hot tub. sixteen and older, only, in the hot tub please! it's covered during the winter and the screen gets removed during the summer so you can work on your tans. you have to have a school ID in order to get in, so there won't be any crazy bums in there without permission. there's a student elected lifeguard every period there is a swimming class, so nobody's going to drown... hopefully.

where you can prove yourself a weakling or someone of strength. the gymnasium holds the assemblies that make us pumped for the homecoming football game. where the basketball, volleyball, and wrestling tournaments are held. let's not forget your usual fitness class, required by the school board. there are locker rooms for both the boys and the girls here too, on different sides of the court. they are both high-theft areas, so make sure you keep your locker combination safe! shower after you get sweaty, and get back to class... the gym is too big to hang out in by yourself.

this is probably the most popular place on campus. the football field, with their lovely D painted right in the center, is the place they're most proud of. certainly their school spirit for football is higher than the other sports, even if they're not very good. they just enjoy the sport, watching it, cheering, and making sure other schools know where they stand. especially newton high school, their rivals. the track is a giant oval around the football field, made out of black tar with white lines to mark where the runners lane's are. the goal posts are painted red and black, and the track has their name in the school colors as well. lots of school pride here at donner beach high.

[justify]since a lot of our graduates attend franklin after high school, the parking lot tended to fill up fast. with a fundraiser, the school was able to build a parking lot to park in! so now along with the parking lot, we have the parking garage. for students, it's free. for visitors attending games or whatever, it'll be a five dollar fee that goes into helping the school get more stuff they need. so by finding a nice, dry spot to park your car for a couple hous, you could have very well just been the one to help buy that new laptop to replace the one that crashed a couple months ago. super! the parking garage is open from 5 am to 11 pm, so make sure you get out before they close the gates! oh, and a word of the wise? don't linger in here. there's some drunk students that love to hang around here, you know, doing whatever drunk kids do.

the johnson hall is the hall of grammar, or more well known, the english hall. there are a bunch of classrooms, able to fit about one hundred students each. there are various teachers, english majors of course, to choose from. it is more quiet down the english hall, for the sake of the reading. the textbooks can vary between five hundred pages and two thousand, depending on your teacher. they often require you to read two thousand pages or five books a semester, again, depending on the teacher. also down this hall is the writing department, for those interested in creative writing or journalism. where the written arts are the glory of the days.

the great hall is the place where all of the college students to, no matter what their major. it's the food complex, basically. there are various fast food and gourmet shops around the main center area, where about two hundred tables sit complete with tables. there are even vending machines if you're too cheap to buy the real stuff. it's great to sit and do your homework, too, because then you can socialize and get your work done at the same time. the professor's eating area is sealed off, but they get the food from the same food places. the ceiling is made so the sunlight shines through, and it's almost like a dome, with the various floors surrounding it. it's the center of the college, the main hub, for all the college students. even people not in college could come here... if they have an ID.

the auditorium is a very grand and beautiful thing. the stage is approximately one hundred feet wide both ways, excluding all of the props and curtains. it seats about two thousand students, having a balcony holding five hundred of those bodies. the seats are a green velvet, representing the school. the main curtain is green as well, the same color. the stage is painted black, but it changes according to the plays that are put on. it's walls are wooden, providing the best sound reflection possible. the light and sound board are above the balcony, and in front of the stage is a lovely orchestra pit. it's top notch, and people from all around the island come to watch plays, dances, and musical performances. no food or drink, please.

named after the famed president himself, the washington hall is the busiest hall. it's main focus is mathematics. from calculus to financing, anything that has to do with addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication is down this hallway. there are a lot of classrooms, as always, and can each seat one hundred students. even though math isn't the most favorite subject, the teachers make it fun. they are different here on newton island, with powers or without. they can use their powers to conjure up an amazing equation that's very interactive, it just depends on who you get as a teacher. the books are rather large, having to survive for as long as franklin university has been around. just respect the greeks and their ways, and you'll do fine down this hall.

all of the scientists and doctors live down this hall. that's right - science. for the most part, the teachers down this hall claim that they're they brightest minds at franklin university. the rooms have one hundred desks, and all of the teachers have powers. the healers, fire and ice, and acid secretion students often find themselves down here. either biology or chemistry, it's the most high tech hall. there's a computer available to take your notes on. televisions, projectors, whatever the teachers need to get their point across. the more old fashioned teachers just enjoy to lecture the entire time with their powers, but some enjoy using the power points for easier note taking. it's a bustling hall for sure, just not as much as the others.

this hall is probably the most boring hall. unless, of course, you like history. the teachers don't have powers, and enjoy having the past on their mind. not very many students come down this hall, unless it's for the history of music, dancing, or something else along those lines. the roman classroom watches movies eighty percent of the time, the teacher just too tired half of the time to actually teach a lesson. usually the students take history during the morning, so they can sleep even though they're in class. with the hundred seats it's kind of hard to pick on one student for putting their head on their desk. this hall smells like old people.

the sullivan hall is the most random hall in franklin university. every classroom is different, different teachers, with powers and without. they color schemes are different, all with one hundred chairs. this hall is the language hall. with so many languages out there in the world, it's the most populated one. there's spanish, french, chinese, japanese, sign, english, latin, american, and many more. there's even a class for the language of love! it's definitely a fun hall with different sounds coming from every classroom, and the homework is said to be the easiest, with the goofy teachers that love to speak their native tongues. it's interesting, but a favorite!

the gymnasium is the main port for the athletes. the floor is hardwood, nice and glossy, with their green and yellow frog right smack in the middle. the seats are green with randomly placed yellow squares, making it look rather entertaining. the basketball hoops can go up into the ceiling, so the volleyball and wrestling teams can do their job. the freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors all have their designated seating, including a spot for guests and parents on the other side. they get us all pumped up at the pep rally's here, and any special guests come and provide us with a grand show. it's a large gymnasium, with locker rooms on either side, complete with the coaches offices tucked far behind. you have to go up a set of stairs to get up to the second part of the seats, where the bottom pulls out onto the hardwood for more people to watch. franklin university is proud of their gymnasium, so mind your manners in here.

the outdoors are for the ones that enjoy to be fit, love the sun, and find happiness with others. the complexes are rather large, surrounding the rear of the college building. there's a baseball field, with steel seats, and yellow bases. the grass is clean cut and is fairly popular. the swimming pool has laps and a diving board. there are three tennis courts, complete with green ground and yellow nets. the soccer field has white lines, lots of places under umbrella's, and nice, clean cut grass. the football field, probably the most loved sport, has the finest grass. white lines, with a green and yellow frog in the middle, complete with the words FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY in large green letters under the frog. the seats are silver, and there are quite a lot of them on either side of the football field. there is a small building for concession stands. the track is green asphalt, surrounding all of the outdoor complexes. one lap around the track is a mile. happy athletes!

[justify]thinking about buying a home in Newton? Well, luckily for you, we have our very own real estate agency in order to get you started! The real estate agency is more of an out of character board where you can apply for a home for your character. This home can be located in one of six locations. The cheapest spot is the sunkissed rv park and the most expensive is the donner lagoon farmlands. In between, you’ll find apartments, estates on the cliffs, beaches, and other areas of comfort.

[justify]sunkissed rv park is the cheapest form of living. the rv parks have spaces set 750 square feet for your living convieniance. your rv must not exceed the specific requirements or else you'll be asked to be evicted. you'll find late parties on weekends, broken beer bottles, clotheslines and broken fences over here. a service manager comes bimonthly to clean up the place, but it dirties pretty quick. it may look like a crazy place, and unfortunately, it is. people are forced to live here in an rv or moible home when times get rough and they can't afford anything else. don't worry, though, there's still some decent people that live her. okay, maybe one or two or three, but that's still something.

[justify]oceanview condominiums are more pricy than the coppertone apartments because each room has a direct view of the ocean. this lovely condo complex has seven hundred rooms on a few hundred acres for your living. each weekend a complimentary breakfast is served in the main lobby. on wednesdays there are surfing lessons available from five to six in summer. each room comes with a fully-adapted set of appliances, a balcony, and maid services if you wish. smaller dogs, no more than three pets, are allowed to stay in these condos. be careful where you let them wander, there's pet-nappers that wander the streets nearest them. keep your stuff close, but your loved pets closer? nope, that doesn't sound right, but you get my warning.

[justify]located a couple blocks away from the high school, this is a convieniant spot to live if you know someone who attends the high school, or maybe you're looking for a home near it. coppertone apartments are decorated with seashells, the exterior wall painted with a cream pain and the trim is a copper-color. there are approximately three hundred apartments in this complex. parking is provided with overhangs and a newly-built parking garage. it costs five dollars extra per month to park your car in the garage. a lot of teens whom just graduated tend to come and live hear so lots of parties go on into the night. sometimes the cops come, but usually they know when the music needs to stop and people need to leave. pets are also accepted her for a fee of twenty dollars per pet per month. you may only have one or two pets, small to medium sized dogs, cats, parrots, just no exotic animals like a tiger. yeah, no. don't do that.

[justify]surrounding the aschfield cay, there are sturdy cliffs. about a mile from there is the cliffs heights estates. these lovely model homes were built in 2003 and have homed many families. there are five main model homes to choose from. two of which are single storied while the others are double and triple stories. each comes with a nice backyard and the smallest estate is 2,200 square feet. these homes are perfect for families with pets and children. there's a park in the center for children to play and a church just on the border. a special option is to come fully furnished. sod is out front with a nice garden full of pretty flowers and personal touches. trees are transplanted in between homes, giving neighbors some privacy. it's a nice place. the price range for these homes are 250,00 to 760,000.

[justify]rolling meadows settlement is a nice family-friendly neighborhood. it has a range of homes from one stories to two stories. each home is a good location in everyone's preferences. as usual, corner lots are bigger and then there's a large range in yard sizes. small front yards are completed with a lawn and a tree planted in the middle to give it some shade. the backyards once used to be dirt, but are now landscaped by the current or previous owners. prices are friendly to first-time buyers, or simply just looking for more space. the home management is very ideal, making sure your next door neighbor's house isn't a hell hole to ruin your curb appeal. each home is even armed with a security system. what a great neighborhood this is. no traffic, either, so your kids can continue playing in the street.

[justify]beachside estates run a bit more than the cliffs heights estates since its right on the edge of newton beach. these homes are all two stories or more, up to four stories. the homes come with tudor garages, large open backyards, and up to seven rooms and a loft. these homes are for the wealthier of the area and are perfect for large families with pets. this is a gated community for security. there's a pool in the center for all to use. no on is let in or out between one and three in the morning.

[justify]by far the most expensive at a minimum amount of 450,000 for your smallest 7 acre lot, the properties are spread along the rural western part of donner lagoon. the horse properties include a four bedroom, three bathroom homes with stables, barns and pastures. the properties are full cultivated with grass and trees. you can board your horses here if you find a boarder or buy property to own horses. sheep, pigs, geese, ducks, cows and other animals are also welcome here.

[justify]live somewhere weird? are you the grounds keeper at the graveyard? do you need a home up on the mountains? do you have some other reason that your home doesn't fit in any of the categories above? never fear! we have you covered. just specify what it is and we'll get it made for you. it's a piece of cake. live in a cottage? live in a bungalow? live in a cave? just kidding. you can't live in a cave.

donner beach is by far the best beach newton island can offer. the beach stretches for miles on the southern part of the island before being interrupted by the newton beach on the eastern seaboard. to get to donner beach, you have to drive a couple hours for the best place. near it is the small town of donner where you can eat, shop and just have fun. be careful though, the cops here are mean and are always looking for someone to arrest. they like using their handcuffs. trash bins are sprinkled all across the beach to throw away litter. the sand is perfect for sand castle making, but i'd wear sandals because it can get pretty hot barefoot. other than that, have fun.

[justify]Frenchman’s Harbor has to be one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Just off of a busy pier, the harbor is full of hundreds of boats. The boats range from ferries, to sail boats, to sports boats, to little row boats. To protect the boats from the tide, a small dam barrier had been put up quite a ways away from the boats. Seagulls, otters, and other marine life spend some time in the harbor, landing on buoys, hanging out on decks, boats, and rocks. The boats are gated in so no one can try to steal your boat in the midst of the night. A security guard is on guard all the time, and coast guard boats are constantly coming in and out of the harbor. A small white lighthouse shines right into the harbor, lighting up the darkness with each swipe back and forth. It looks pretty trippy in the fog.[/justify]

[justify]the boardwalk is a fun place to go with friends, or even on a date. During the day, it is pretty busy, but the real magic happens at night. With a Ferris wheel, a roller coaster, and a couple more thrilling rides, you can never tire of the fun activities. During certain times of the year, the boardwalk will have special features like a haunted house, Santa pictures, and love boats. There’s a whole row of people selling goods and lots of games to play like ring toss, bean bag toss, guess, basketball hoops, dunk tanks, climbing ropes, and even a rock wall! There’s tasty treats available such as pretzels, cotton candy, hot dogs, clam chowder, and even funnel cakes! Meanwhile, under the dock near by the potheads smoke whatever they’re doing, getting wasted, and all that jazz. If I were you, I’d just ignore them and keep walking.

[justify]Joey’s crab shack is the place to get the all-time best seafood. Located on an elevated dock, Joey’s crab shack has an amazing view of the harbor and all of its pretty boats. The décor is mostly sea-worthy, but there’s some comical signs, and some great artifacts on the walls. The waiters and waitresses are pretty upbeat people and this is definitely a family-friendly environment with decent prices. You can get anything from lobster, crab, tilapia, salmon, cod, bass, shrimp, seafood pasta, or even a hamburger or chicken fingers. The bar has great drinks, but beware: they I.D. anyone 38 ½ and younger. There’s an awesome shark attack drink with 7UP and red food coloring. Dare to try it?

[justify]there are plenty of pier's on the island, but this one is the closest and oldest on the island. it's been redone and repainted, but the water and use of it always sends it back to it's old state. so they decided to make it sort of a monument, not putting it into use anymore. it's very rigidity and old, but people are still attracted to it. it's said to help deep thought, and even make love happen... some come to put their feet over the edge, watch the sunset. some come to read a book or journal. some hobos sleep on the benches. some people come here to play music. some people come here for a walk. some people write songs here. it's a peaceful place, perfect to think and re-evaluate your life.

[justify]oh, the farmer’s market. This is definitely a popular hang out for people trying to make money. When people make or produce goods, they’ll lug all of their stuff here in hopes at making a profit. Some people travel here from all the way on the opposite side of the island to come here. You can get some excellent prices on produce at the farmer’s market. There’s also some pretty awesome deals on rare items, books, clothes, movies, games, and so much more. It’s a pretty big deal, but the farmer’s market is closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The busiest days are Sunday and Saturday, so I suggest hitting it up on Wednesday or Monday. Have fun! Make money! Help out! Buy stuff! Whatever you do, you’re helping someone who needs money. Well, I suppose.

[justify]if you're a vacationer on our island, you're more than welcome to help yourself to our lovely paradise hotel and resort. this hotel has twenty stories and over one hundred thousand rooms. the rooms are equpped with two queen-sized beds, a mini fridge, a coffee maker, a balcony for certain rooms, and a bathroom. there's room service 24/7, maid services, and dry-cleaning. everyday there is a buffet for lunch and dinner. breakfast is served on weekends only. there's a pool with a waterfall, a couple slides, and then a jacuzzi that sits thirty. there are palm trees spread all around the landscape, horse rides, and special events during certain times of the year.[/justify]

[justify]the seabird theatre is a double feature type of thing. half of it holds the IMAX theatre while the other part is your regular box office hits. every other friday new movies come to the box office, so you won't be bored anytime soon. 3-D features costs a bit more than others. toddlers are free to watch movies while children and seniors are a little less than the adults. you can buy buttery popcorn, large sodas, nachos and hot dogs for the show at the concession stands. the prices are high, but the smell of popcorn is irresistable. please, silent your cell phones now.[/justify]

[justify]store, store, food court, and more stores are located inside this multi-story mall. you can find the best fashion botiques, the latest sportswear, furniture, trinkets, toys, games, electronics, and super greasy yummy food in this mall. down on one end of the mall you'll find a sports bar and grill near the small IMAX theatre. the shops are hiring, too, so maybe you can get a job here and see all your friends having fun while you're stuck on your shift. that sounds like fun, doesn't it? not really, but it'll give you money for the next shopping spree (if you're not working).[/justify]

[justify]the derby skating rink was built in the late 1920's. the original owner held derby races and could do many magnificant tricks on wheels. the place has been modified a bit from record players to cd players. the snack bar holds good foods like pizza, cotton candy, hot dogs, burgers, fries and drinks like soda and water. the food and drink are only allowed in the tabled areas. if you don't know what skate size you are, don't fear. we have a size match-up mat near the skate counter. in the back there are arcade games to win tickets for prizes at the prize counter. if you get one million tickets, you get a lifelong free pass. it's pretty impressive, huh?

[justify]The Patio is the home of The Patio Gourmet Burger. This restaurant located in eastern newton isn't going to disappoint! The Patio's walls are covered with tons of sweet framed photos along the walls as well as other signed athletic equipment. The walls are lined with a dozen booths, and there's a special bar seating area. A kids menu with a handful of selections and a general menu with a bunch more, this restaurant can quench any burger, wrap, salad, or pasta craving. Upbeat music plays in the background as well as the clanking of pots and pans in the kitchen! The best part? Bottomless steak fries and drinks! Of course, during the summer months, you can choose to sit outside on the patio where this restaurant recieved its name.

[justify]Ah, ice, figure skates and a little bit of fun. It's a perfect combination for a winter's day. Perfect for dates and whatnot, the ice skating rink is a main attraction on the island at winter. It's quite a great place. Competitions are held on it, and the teenagers of Newton Beach are the main customers. The Ice Rink is open every day from November to February and it's open from dawn to midnight. Pretty nifty, right? A large machine has to clean the ice every night. You can watch it from the bleachers if you want.

[justify]speedy pizza and arcade are known for the best cheesy pizza on the island. they add just enough cheese to make your entire mouth gooey with goodness. the pepperoni is only a side, not the main thing you're looking forward to. if you decide to actually go to the podunk little building, there is a stellar arcade on the inside. every machine is a quarter to play, and you are almost guaranteed to win. the prize for the tickets? free pizza! what else would you play for at a pizza place?[/justify]

[justify]for eighteen and older, celcius is a club for those that need to get away from their lives for a little while. it's got a fairly good sized parking lot, and nice neon lights. the bouncer will check you for you ID, unless you look like your grandma, which then, he'll escort you out to your car and tell you your dentures need a soaking. no shoes, no shirt, no service. word of advice? don't go driving home when you're wasted. cops patrol this street and the streets neighboring it all night long, just waiting for some idiot to drive drunk so they could do something other than eat donuts all day. hey, be responsible, pick a designated driver and please, please don't go home with a fifty year old man with a hairy back. he is not as friendly as you think he is. you're drunk, remember?

[justify]this nifty place is located near the mall, recently established to bring a sense of the fine arts into our island. the cafe has great food to choose from, mostly low-carb and is the perfect resting place on your morning jog. the walls are filled with paintings-- locally created or imported from europe. sculptures sit upon pedestals and nice, inspiring music plays in the background while you enjoy your danish and decaf coffee. you can find college students coming here to study due to free wi-fi, or sometimes couples coming for a mid-morning snack. it's truly a magical place, almost displaced in the eastern part of newton beach. nevertheless, it's one of the places you must visit some time soon. you won't regret it. doesn't fresh pasteries, beverages, and art sound like a good combination? i think so.

[justify]The Gala was established as one of the first buildings in Eastside Newton. With it's three stories, there's plenty of room for many people and it's often the location for formal occasions. Weddings, sweet sixteens, and special formal dancing nights are regularly booked within the walls of the column-supported structure. Dance studios allow dance classes to be taught on the second floor from ballet to salsa to the waltz. The top floor is the event floor where all the bookings are located. The halls are decorated with vintage wallpaper, fresh flowers, low lights, and a relaxing atmosphere. Really, jeans and a teeshirt won't cut it here. Prepare for formality, manners, and your best possible behavior. People have been thrown out before and the big men in black suits aren't afraid to try it again. It's the most exciting thing they do every decade.

[justify]giovanni's is located on the northeasterly part of newton beach, resting upon a small crest in the beach. it's a high-class place, where your most formal attire is not only reccommended, but probably required. this is no place to go if you're on a short budget, but lovely for romantic dinners, mature birthdays, and celebrations. a doorman will first greet you at the door, and when you enter, you'll be presented with a dark atmosphere for a more romantic, mature effect. the walls are decorated with old italian artifacts and well-tuned italian music play softly in the background. the occasional birthday tune sang in italian may be heard, but usually it's a quiet, peaceful dinner. the waiters and waitresses are required to go to restaurant etiquette schooling and learn minimal french. everything seems so punctual and perfect here. it's surely another island hotspot for the wealthier and most romantic people who reside here. what's more? giovanni's offers catering, too. for more information, please ask your host or hostess for information.

[justify]once you graduate from high school and need to move onto bigger and better things, you can find some classes here. if you'd like to become a nurse, paramedic or other career, you can come to get a degree after only a nine month's worth of classes. the community college is located near the high school being only about ten minutes away. the main offices are near the parking garage and lot, but only students may park in the garage. all guests may park in the visitor's lot. if you're here for special events such as games, you have to use the lots across the street at the daycare center or the dentist office.[/justify]

[justify]if you ever need some fudge or some type of chocolate, you head over to the fudge factory for every need. they are busy all year around, from christmas to valentine's day, valentine's day to mother's day, and all the way to halloween. this is the place to get all of your candy fulfilling needs. they even deliver chocolate to you when you're on a last minute basis. everything is made here on the island, so it's a delicacy for the residents. want some ice cream?! they have that too. they have vanilla, chocolate, rocky road, mint chocolate, mocha almond fudge, and so much more. maybe you can get a hot brownie and vanilla ice cream for a sweet, sweet treat.

[justify]all of the abandoned animals need some place to live. if your dog or cat has too big of a litter and you can't pawn them off to one of your friends, they will go here. it's got all of the dogs in cages down one of the hallways, and cats down the other. other pets like gerbils and snakes sit on the outside, almost like a pet store, except these animals are usually healing from injuries or have something mentally wrong with them. don't those kinds of animals have the most personality, anyways?[/justify]

[justify]lucky for us, we have a bowling alley on the island. it's retro themed, like the movie grease, and that whole decade. the workers ride around on four wheel skates, in poodle skirts. the boys slick their hair back and look like john travolta in leather jackets. all the bowling balls are bright colors, and you can choose between 20 different bowling alleys. perfect for a date! the screens display the scores, and there's an enhanced ball return speed so you don't have to wait for your ball to come back. your loyal waiters and waitresses will bring food you order to the booth you're at too, super sweet! fries? burgers? chicken fingers? they got it. just press the purple burger on the lane keyboard thingy.

[justify]locally owned by the putner family, good eats diner has been around for a very long time. with the mrs. sure there is such thing as good home cooking, she does all of the cooking herself, with help from her kids on the weekends. it's all home made recipes, and they even have their own coffee recipe. fresh donuts every day, and the leftovers are only a quarter. they have a very old fashioned theme, complete with homemade pies every wednesday. the best thing about this diner? it's open twenty-four hours, and the putner's live there. how convenient.[/justify]

[justify]beachside park is probably one of the coolest places on the island. there are plenty of palm trees surrounded by grass, and in it are some awesome things. it's got a good sized skate park, complete with railings and places to ride the wall. there's a playground for the littler kids, with tall slides and fire poles to slide down. don't forget about the picnic area, where there are plenty of tables and shade to eat with that special someone! the last part of the park is the trails that go around the whole park, and into the 'jungle' of the island. you can get tours to show you the different type of wildlife and plants, if you've got the cash.[/justify]

[justify]the religious man thompson's son believed in the law, and things that needed to have justice. he built the first police station, jail, and court house. it's very serious business, and the police have a lot of control around the island. if some vandalism happens, the cops are there within ten minutes of the first sighting. the police are very on top of things, and the jail and court houses have since been revamped and are more terrifying than ever.[/justify]

[justify]the motel is fairly old, being constructed in the early 1940's. it was made on the edge of newton beach. people driving to donner beach or maybe just needing a place to live after an argument happened can find a cheap room here. the rooms are inexpensive, but the beds are squeaky, the roofs leak and the bathrooms smell bad. it's not so bad, i guess, if you like leaky roofs, smelly bathrooms and squeaky, back-breaking stiff beds. sounds like paradise. there's a pool in the back too, but the bottom has a yellow tint. do with that as you will. there's a hot tub too, but it hasn't worked in five years.

[justify]this grocery store has the cheapest prices around. everything from hair products to diapers, and everything from cakes to milk. it's a store that you know will have whatever you're looking for. if they don't for some reason, they won't pause a minute to call and order the thing you're wanting, just for you. everyone knows everyone, so it's likely that your neighbors, your friends, and your family go to this grocery store just as much as you do. they're known for the best customer service on the island! what's more? they have a special membership program that gets you deals for signing up! sure, there's a small fee of five dollars to renew it every year, but it's totally worth it. sign up for the new email program for sale updates and all that jazz. going green? make sure you pick up a couple reuseable cloth shopping pages with the food bowl logo!

[justify]just like the title suggests, you typically shop at the shopping spot. from groceries to movies to toys, they have it all. sure, their clothing selection is limited, but there's a good variety of everything else. from the sporting goods to the seasonal area, you're sure to find something you're looking for. they have cute home decor as well as a lot of cheap one dollar priced items. the red and white emblem is famous round the parts of the island. the white dot in the middle represents the shopping spot, but don't let me bore you with the store's history. please, continue to shop, oh and, make sure you check out the sweet deals going on! coupons, anyone?[/justify]

[justify]the ascfield public library is the largest library on the island. it has rows and rows of books for you to choose from whether it be fiction, non-fiction, biographies, folktalkes, informational, or fairytales. the library will give you the answers you need to know. a specially marked teen zone features monthly magazines, bean bag chairs, a slurpee machine and some computers. there's a java bar for coffee, strudels and scones while you study. more computers can be found in the back, and the library has comfortable arm chairs and tables located all around. you must be quiet, though. the librarians are quite strict about noise. [/justify]

[justify]once there was a man named edward thompson. he was a very religious man, and believed things were made by a higher being. the island wasn't exactly under this influence, so newton decided to start something. he built this old-fashioned church with his bare hands, and it has since been expanded and remodeled. people started being buried around the church, so they decided to just combine the two. the cemetery is all around the church for a few yards, and that's where most of the residents of the island from back then are buried. it's interesting to go around and read the tombstones, and is said to be haunted at night by thompson himself, making sure the graves and his church are being taken care of.[/justify]

[justify]the carnival only comes around once a year, from may to july. every other month of the year it sits behind closed gates. the big circus tent still stands high, and so does the ferris wheel and carousel. all of the booths are covered with random colored tarps, some with signs saying 'be back in the summer!' it's strictly off limits, trespassing is terrible. although many people don't get caught that go in there to look around... imagine the carnival set out before you. imagine the elephants, the girls with their feathered hats, the clowns, the unicyclist, the guy on giant stilts, or the man who can breathe fire (even though that's not much of an accomplishment anymore). can you smell the kettle corn and cotton candy, hot dogs, and nachos? now, you're back at the abandoned yard... sometimes it feels like you're being watched. creepy, eh?

[justify]built in the late nineteen hundreds, aschfield cay country club, shortened to accc, was built a sports activity center for the island. many elderly men spend their saturday afternoons on the green of the golf field. a gym, dancing studio, salon, and a swimming pool can be located inside. there's also a bar, and a healthy dining bar, as well as a restaurant located inside. need a rest? check out the hotel portion of the club. it's not much, but you can stay there if you really need to. [/justify]

[justify]a small, dainty little place, the ultimate florist is best florist on the island. From roses, to daisies, to chrysanthemum flowers, they got it. The best florakinetics on the island run this small little joint and make tons of money. They also grow trees, plants, and other fancy growth for you to bring home. Christmas, valentine’s day, and those other special holidays are their busiest season, so make sure you order flowers early. They have special gift packages, too. Want to send a box of chocolates with that rose? You can do that. Want to send a plush valentine’s bear to your girlfriend? You can do that. Perhaps you fought with your best friend and you want to make it better with her favorite flower? We can do that. Want some epic sales on some wonderful flowers? Check out the coupon book. You can do that.

[justify]Unfortunately, we can’t have every single place known to man and alien on here. Our solution? This board right here. Whether your setting be your special garden, meadow where you shine, or just an alley that you like to go to, this is the place you’ll go. You can do lots of stuff here since it’s a board with a pretty open title. Anywhere else could refer to anywhere and everywhere. It could be your grandpa’s house, under your bed, on a river, under a sink, in the toilet, or some weird place. Please just make it believable. Remember, the anywhere else is restricted to places on the island. There’s another board for places off the island. For now, you’re stuck here. No visa, no visiting other places, even the Continental United States. Have fun exploring everywhere else on the island!

[justify]Remember how I said there was a board for around the globe business off the island? Yup, this is the place to do it. Perhaps your character is on a honeymoon, you can post it here. Suppose you’re visiting non-ability family in the States. You can do that here, too. Now, let’s pretend you accidentally teleported yourself to the center of the Atlantic Ocean. Yikes, that’s scary! To leave the island, make sure you have a visa of some sort. The normal people don’t like the ‘freaks’ that the island produces. They hate us all. They want to throw tomatoes at our heads. Do you know how hard it is to get tomato out of your hair? It sucks. So, going off the island, get a visa, and come back quick. Don’t have a visa? Have fun wrestling the tomatoes. Just saying. So, where you heading? Europe, United States, Canada, Russia, China, Australia, South America, Antarctica, Africa, the North Pole, beyond the rainbow? Yeah. I thought so.

[justify]special memories, space-time manipulators, time travelers, roleplaying bittersweet futures, or simply taking a trip down memory lane, this is where you character can travel to the past and future. of course, you have to have a specific reason for traveling. we prefer you keep your time travel at a minimum because we'd rather keep it in the present and not stuck in the past or future. get creative though, the possibilities are endless[/justify]

[justify]sure, when you rest your head on your pillow at night your mind takes you to places you might know fairly well or places entirely new to you. either way, it's just a dream and unless you are a procognitive dreamer, it probably won't come true. of course, you must be careful. a dream manipulator may sweep into your dreams and change details. it's dangerous, but you can't help what you dream about, can you? dreams are the creation of the subconcious mind. so dream, dream, and if it's a nightmare... well, it's not necessarily going to come true, right? oh and for you roleplayers out there, daydreams and illusions can be roleplayed right here, too.

[justify] If you want to roleplay something really quick, whether it be an argument or something sweet, you can post a thread here. the posting minimum does not apply. you can simply write as much as you need to get the thread done. however, the threads you do here do not count to your posting count because they're not full fledged posts if you can get away with a couple sentences. please refrain from a couple sentences, though. try a paragraph. thank you.

[justify]discussion board. self-explanatory. Let’s just say you don’t know what discussion is. Do you know how to discuss or chat? Do you know how to be insane? Do you know how to talk? Well, I’m pretty sure you can use this board then. We’re pretty crazy and sometimes we do some pretty stupid stuff and decide to post it up. Sometimes we just need some help with homework, ideas, or something else super duper important. Sometimes we post stuff that’s on our mind. We love to give advice, so you could totally talk to us if you’re feeling upset. Wanna plot out something cool? You can do that. Want to say Happy Birthday to your friend on the site? Dew it here. Want to talk about how awesome Mountain Dew is? Yes, you do that here too. Want to post a video or a playlist? You can do that, too. You can post almost anything on this board as long as it’s appropriate, doesn’t break the rules, and stays with the proboards tos.

[justify]GRAPHICS?! No way. We love these things. We love them so much, we’re constantly making them for people, sharing them, and everything like that. Yes, you may post your pictures that you drew here, too. You may post a shop to make requests by your fellow members. Yes, you may add buttons to our amazing button gallery. Yes, you may post a thread asking for some graphics. Yes, you can ask questions about manips here. Yes, you can post a graphic for your fellow members to rate. Yes, you can do anything graphic-related here. Again, just keep it appropriate and make sure it doesn’t break probards tos. No porn. That’ll be an instant-ban, okay? Don’t bash, either. People take awhile to make graphics and you shouldn’t be a sour-puss who ruins their day. Don’t be a bitch. Oh, and don’t steal. That’s uncool. Sorry guests, we don’t want you seeing our graphics. We don’t want you stealing.

[justify]Holy shiz, we love games. Games are super fun. You can play them anytime, but we have to make sure we play them right. There’s so many games and we’re constantly adding more. A couple games we have are stalker, corrupt a wish, corrupt a power, mate, date, or rake, hot or not, perfect match, and much, much more. We don’t typically lurk over these games every second of the day, but we do like to play them when we’re lonely or just waiting for a reply. Some of this stuff can get really funny, and it just makes us love this site even more. Be a team player. Don’t try to cheat even though it’s pretty much impossible. Make sure you are an accepted character before you post in the in-character games. You’re allowed to post in the out of character games, but you must be accepted to participate in games that are labeled or described as in-character.. If you win, you get a prize. I have not figured out what yet. Maybe a big white and black panda… oh, and before i forget... posting here does not contribute to your posting count.

[justify]Inactivity happens, and when it happens, your threads get a one-way ticket to the archive library. If your thread has not been replied to in three or more weeks, your thread is considered dead and will be moved here. If you would like your thread re-opened, you’ll have to ask an administrator to unlock the thread and move it back. If you finish a thread, make sure you tell an administrator so they can move it to the archive library. If you’re bored, or you’re in major need of some muse, read older posts. It works for me, maybe it’ll work for you. Just a reminder, the threads within this board are locked. Oh, and don’t post a new thread in here. That’d be weird, and a waste of energy. Don’t do it.

[justify]Hello, goodbye! Yes, this is the absence board of the sorts. If your life is getting hectic and you need to take a hiatus, make sure you tell us where you’re going to be so then we don’t worry that you’ve died. If you’re going on vacation for two weeks and you don’t know whether you’ll be back because school is starting, just tell us. We don’t want to delete you for inactivity. That’s so cruel. Life is getting too hard and you have to permanently leave? I’m sorry life sucks for you, and I hope it gets better. We understand if you have to leave. Shiz happens. Maybe you’ll stop by one day and tell us you’re doing okay. Who knows? Maybe you’ll re-join one day. In a happier note, we’d love for you to introduce yourself in this board, too. Talk about you. Tell us what you like, how long you’ve been roleplaying, what you dislike, and anything else you’ll care to share. It’s pretty amazing when we get new members.

[justify]Going to advertise? Want to affiliate? Well, you’ve most certainly come to the right place. Just keep these few things in mind. One, use the correct board when you advertise. Two, your site must be below PG-13 and follow proboards tos. Three, please only post one ad for each site. If you post a billion ads, we’re going to delete all of them. Four, if you decide to affiliate with us, make sure your banner is 88 by 31 in size, and our affiliate is in the scrolling or static section of your affiliates. Respect our site. We reserve the right to delete any ads or reject any affiliate request. Oh, and since we love our members, our members can post their sites in the member sites board. We’d love to see your beautiful site, but make sure this is the only place you advertise it. This should be the ONLY place we see links to other roleplay forums. Can’t do that? Well, you’ll be banned most likely. Have a night day. PROBOARDS AND INVISIONFREE ONLY. GUEST-FRIENDLY.
