Congratulations! If you are reading this, you have been accepted into the Unusua Academy, a school for ponies with powers just like you! Here, you will learn to control your powers (If you haven't already) and use them to their full extent! You will be supplied with quills, ink and any other school supplies, so the only things you will need are personal accessories, although if there's something that you want to bring, go ahead. Yours Truly, Principal Soulstone Rules: 1. All forum/roleplay rules apply 2. No killing 3. Don't double post unless you're trying to revive the RP if it's dead 4. No time travel of ANY KIND. 5. You can only play a pony race. No griffons, Changelings, etc. 6. You can be an Alicorn, but it is discouraged. 7. I can edit, add or remove rules as I see fit, but anything breaking the rule before it changes won't count. 8. And the epic cliche, have fun!

A blue unicorn in glasses casually walks up the steps to the entrance but stops in the middle to stare at the beautiful building.

An orange tired pegasus flys towards the school, rubing his right eye with his hoof. As he nears the entrance, he sees a unicorn staring at the building. Landing next to him, he gestures towards the building. "It truly is a gorgeous building, bit bright for my tastes, but good looking none the less. My name is Steam Blade, I just got here, you?"

Jetstream looked up at the building, tilting her head. It was a bit boring, really, but it was a school. Not much you could expect from that. She noticed the pegasus and unicorn gawking at the building and laughed, then trotted past them to head inside. No point in wasting time out here, might as well get this super-duper training on with.

Mind Games jumped, startled by the new pony."Oh, uhmm, my name's Mind Games by the way."

Then suddenly, a white mare teleported about 50-75 feet from the front door to the academy. She slowly moved towards the door, just looking around, exerting a high amount of energy. She eventually realized that there seemed to be no problems, so she went inside. after looking at a map and the building itself for 10 minutes or so, she decided to sit down by a wall, waiting for something to happen.

Sparky was super excited to go to Unusua Academy, feeling barely able to wait as he made his aerial approach. Checking the map on his fold-down dashboard again, he verified that the approaching complex along this road was in fact his destination. He had planned his fuel to be 20% over, but with a headwind for some of the trip, he knew he'd be pushing it close. His hydrogen flash heater kept the small steam engine whirring along as it spun the rear propeller. A simple peroxide and baking soda tablet mixture generated his necessary hydrogen fuel, though the peroxide did take a lot of time to manufacture. He was thrilled to see if Unusua had the equipment to help with this process.
As the building neared, his steam engine slumped from a whir, to a sputter, a few clunks, and finally died entirely. Still being about 150 feet in the air, Sparky knew it might be a rough landing. The building approached from below much faster now as Sparky went into an accelerated decent. The ground neared and Sparky bucked his rear hooves, kicking out the landing flaps. The deceleration was swift as the extra wing area drug though the air, and for a moment Sparky thought he'd gotten it perfect as he came to a near stop. With about 6 feet left to go though, he had accidentally triggered a wing stall and the (un-)powered wing dove forward, slamming nose-first into the ground. A slight tail wind carried the rear of the contraption up and over, as the metal and fabric wing flopped onto it's top, plopping Sparky down in the middle of it.
"Gah!"he shouted. "Almost had it!" Floundering around on his side for a moment, Sparky grabbed a small piece of rope in his mouth and pulled, releasing the latch that held him in his harness. Sparky scrambled to his feet and stomped a lever that made the wing go limp. Within half a minute, it was folded up and latched onto Sparky's cargo saddle. He now finally took the chance to look up at his surroundings if not just to check if anypony had seen his debacle.
Then it hit him. He didn't know anypony, whatsoever. He didn't know who to go to, or what they'd be like, or if this was even the right place to be! He shyly trod his way toward the main entrance, stopping as he came to an orange pegasus and a blue unicorn in the middle of the stairs. Sparky thought he'd try his luck. "U- umm... hi? Umm, is this, uhh... Unusua Academy? Is this where I'm supposed to be? Y'know to, umm, well... attend? As a student?" Sparky was a nervous wreck. He normally would not talk to other peers, mainly because there wasn't anypony near his age back at home; just his parents and a few elderly neighbors. These two were the first peers he had ever attempted to converse with, though they still appeared to be a little older. Sparky kicked a hoof and looked down as he conducted his first attempt at contact.

Mind Games had no idea how to react. He sat there with his jaw dropped halfway to the ground for a moment, and then came to his senses and said "Yes, this is it." he dug around in this nervous pony's mind and then said, "There weren't any foals your age in your neighborhood? No wonder you're being socially awkward."

Sparky's jaw dropped as he looked up at the unicorn, dumbfounded and confused. ".... a.... I... uhh.... umm..... hmm." Sparky spun around, back to the unicorn, and started talking to himself, as if nopony else could hear him. "Do I know him from somewhere? No, of course not! He knows there was nopony else my age, but if I knew him somewhere, he would violate that rule. The logic doesn't hold water! He must know of me somehow. He knows me and I don't know him. Or at least, he knew one fact about me. A fact about home. Too young for town council...."
Sparky finished a little more barely audible mumbling and spun back around. "Okay so ruling out the ridiculous idea that you're a mind reader, this means you are a spy! Or a stalker!" Sparky took a slow couple steps back, wearing a wary expression with his ears tucked back a bit. "What do you want from me? By mom's definition, you're a stranger, and I'm supposed to be careful around you."

Mind Games started laughing. "Actually, I am a mind reader. That's why I was sent here."

After getting a little bored, Blazing Sun decided to check where the other students are... By sensing for any energys in the school area, no matter what type (I said "no matter what type" because I'm guessing there are ALOT of types of energy in Equestria). She found some of the student, as it seems, at the front door. Guessing it was a bad idea to ignore them and just go inside, she followed the same map she used earlier to get out again.
When she got to the front door, she thought about surprising them, but instead went through their energys thoroughly. It was a good idea too, because she also was able to read a little on what they were talking about. One of the things they said was Actually, I am a mind reader. That's why I was sent here, and so she decided not to surprise them, and just be herself. So, she opened the door and came up to them. "Hey, I heard you can read minds... Can you read mine for me? I wanna see what you can find."

Sparky dashed up the stairs between the two unicorns, facing the mind reader with a stern, braced stance. "No, first I have to verify! I'm going to think of something, and you have to tell me what it is. Then you can go mind read whoever else you want." Sparky turned his back, closed his eyes, and buried his face behind a hoof. Then he thought clearly in the forefront of his mind without making a sound, correct pony battery staple. Sparky sprung back around, exclaiming to the blue unicorn, "Okay tell me!"

((Blazing, that's a bit too close to the border of the OP lands))
Mind Games concentrates hard on Sparky and then telepathically says, what in the hay is a pony battery sample? Oh wait, I said it telepathically, whoops. Then he says out loud to Blazing Sun, "Geez, I had no idea reading minds was a ticket to popularity, and yes, I can read your mind."

The voice popped into Sparky's head and he jumped from all fours in frightened surprise. His hooves stumbled under him and he slipped a step, falling flat onto the stairs. Popping back up, he looked back towards the now unquestionable telepath. "O-o-o-okay... umm, yes. I see. Umm... Okay. uhh..." Sparky looked around, fixing her sight back on the mare behind him, and told her, "Your turn."[/color]
"Sparky bumbled his way to the top of the stairs and stopped, turning towards the two unicorns. "Dorms are t-t-this way, right?" A moment's pause and Sparky added on, "Oh, umm, and I guess, well, I'm Sparky. Hi." His voice was still a bit shaken, after just having gone through a minor aircraft crash followed by a brain invasion. Brainvasion, he thought, slightly amused by this portmanteau.

Steam sat by as the everyone conversed, making note of stuff he thought to be important. 'Mind reading huh, wonder if its passive, activated, or sustained. I could just ask, but he could be listening right now....... i wonder...... Flying Rainbow Scorpions! Should be random enough.'
