OOC: This is a newbie thread, with a humorous setting. The purpose of this thread is to allow those who are unsure how to participate in an RP thread some opportunity to practice. The beginning is fairly generic and merely sets the scene, it is up to anyone posting to the thread afterwards to carry on the story, the person making the post may end up never making another post to this particular thread, they may but don't expect them to do so.

Anyone can join in on the thread as long as their entrance is fitting for the thread and at the very least seems believeable. Do not e-mail or otherwise contact the person that started this thread for permission to post, you already have it. Also these threads are subject to comments from outside sources (please make all comments after OOC (Out Of Character) so we know it is a comment and then IC (In Character) if you have a story element to add). If OOC or IC are not used then the post is considered IC for these threads.

Veterans are asked to keep a watchful distance and offer guidance to those new to the RP world on any mistakes they do and possible ways to correct them or prevent them in the future. If a veteran RPer really wishes to then there is no stopping them from joining in on the thread (and perhaps at least one per thread would be a good thing), keep in mind that these threads will in no way be perfect as these are where the mistakes are to be made.

While the setting is currently going to be a humorous-based one, it is not set in stone. However, if you noticed that one Role Player has already started going with one form of story, try not to do anything that would directly contradict it. Try to communicate with your fellow Role Players to create a wonderful story that you may one day look back at with pride.

Start posting and enjoy.

IC:
Autumn arrived in a flurry of colored leaves as school was brought back into session. Most of the students at this school are penguins - with names like Pablo, Peter and Peggy - but some recent transfer students are going to shake up the school traditionally known for having an all-penguin student body...

Mr. Pengoo was the math teacher at Penguin High School - a strict mathemagician with little tolerance for disruptive student behavior, and a temper as short as he was. "Welcome to class, students," he welcomed before turning to the board and writing up calculations feverishly. "Now pay attention because we will have a test this Friday, and this will all be on the exam."

One of the students giggled at a joke that another student had told, but both soon suffered the humiliation of being swatted by Mr. Pengoo's paper fan, reserved for the occasions when students would get out of line. "Students will raise their hands to speak in my class, or be silent!"

But Mr. Pengoo had not yet dealt with the likes of the transfer students who were late to his class...
