or at least, it used to be a paradise...
Ever since the typhoon (well, okay, it wasn't exactly a TYPHOON.. those only happen in places like China and on remote Pacific Islands), it hasn't quite been the same around here. Elevators break down, lobsters have been escaping the Lobstery, and all that's left of the charming little town is funny antique stores and dead grass. But y'know, we almost like it better now. Hey, a little rain never hurt anybody, right?
But, what of the Pier's prized seaside academy? The institution had been running for years before the storm, but since then, a bunch of families took off, not wanting to face another one. As a result, Paradise Pier Seaside Boarding Academy became something just a little different than it was before. With its grand academic reputation, Paradise Pier is also widely known as the high school with the single largest, strangest, most whimsical set of majors, from literature to magicians' arts, dancing to pyrotechnics, criminology to fencing, botany to cake decorating-- the Pier has something to offer for everyone.
It's no wonder that the students that began repopulating the school the second time around were of a slightly.. different breed. You just never know just who or what you'll encounter at the new Paradise Pier!just ask the students!
BERNARD BHALU grade 11//tribal dance major:
"Yeah, it's a little gloomy, but y'know, I'm gettin' used to it. It's got the bare necessities-- my buddies, good food, good-lookin' ladies, a roof over my head, and a little bears' room-- and that's all a place really needs, right? RIGHT! Now yer gettin' it!"
ALICE DODGSON grade 10//creative writing major:
"Well, Paradise Pier is a most curious place. It says to be paradise-like and you get the image of sun in your head from the brochure. However, the weather's just as drizzly and cold as England's. Despite the poor weather, I am not sure what I would do without the Pier. All of my dearest friends are here and there are still quite interesting people left to meet. Though some of them are a bit frightening and very well possibly... dare I say, mad? Either way, it's something interesting where I can focus on my creative writing, I wouldn't dream of leaving."
CHARLES 'CHUCK' PRINCETON grade 12//fencing major:
"Ah, don't listen to those silly brochures they'll try to force on you. I've got all the information you are going to need, trust me. The place looks abysmal in person, it never seems to stop raining, and the social life is decidedly lacking, but as far as schools go it isn't dreadful. And it does have a stunning student body (which I would think would be obvious, as I'm here). It may not be London, but I am sure there are worse places to be... probably."
RAVI WEAVER grade 11//interior design major:
"At Paradise Pier, my academics soar ;D"
