ＳＴ. ＢＥＮＮＥＴＴＲＥＦＯＲＭＳＣＨＯＯＬ

[fancypost bgcolor=transparent; bordercolor=transparent; width: 400px; letter-spacing: 1px;][justify][size=7pt]one of the many erected after the war between rebels and cops, saint bennett is known for its exemplary results and point-on recoveries. the criminals and the weak-minded who are enrolled into its educational system come out clean and unmarred by the society they grew up in, perfect little students, reformed from their previous misdeeds in such a way that they have forgotten who they were, and embrace who they are, without question.

perhaps that is why the process is so suspicious, especially to the newest batch of students that will enter the school premises. found near the border between canada and the united states, surrounded by acres upon acres of forests and woodlands, the location seems eery enough. overcast skies are common, and only rarely does sunshine ever pass through the impregnable clouds. the trees that surround the campus are of different kinds, leading to nowhere save a few landmark spots, like the small lake apricot, and the saint bennett church. one road in, one road out, no exceptions.

and the students? just as dangerous as the environment. from the suicidal to the serial killer, teenagers who have been mislead by society. their ids are dogtags, labelled with their name, case, and level of difficulty. they come into the school for different reasons, but stranger than what comes in is what goes out. oddly enough, the rumors about st. bennett aren't just rumors. all those who get through graduation come out as 'clean', a term coined by the government to refer to the teenagers that are successfully wiped of their past lives. it's eery how one day, they are scowling and grumbling, the next, genuine smiles can be found decorating their faces.

a transformation process that lasts overnight, not until graduation. a scary thing indeed. it is something that has been talked about throughout the school limits-- do they torture the students? give them pills? electrocute them until they forgot their names? nobody knew, and nobody dared enough to find out. and those who underwent the process? they were like zombies, they all said one thing. "st. bennett's effectiveness is superior to any other schools. the teachers have worked wonders on our minds, and now we are clean and ready to help the society."

everybody knows that's bullsh✹t. something's going on. something big, and eight young students are willing to do everything to find out what-- without having themselves changed in the process.[/size][/justify][/fancypost]

[fancypost bgcolor=transparent; bordercolor=transparent; width: 400px; letter-spacing: 1px;][justify][size=7pt]the exact location of saint bennett is kept secret except to the shuttle service that brings the new students from the nearby town to the campus itself. several acres of woodland separates saint bennett reform school from the town of saint bennett, and the road is almost nonexistent. is is known for its overcast skies and cold temperatures, as well as the early morning mist that creeps over the surrounding lands. the terrain is uneven, sloping upwards and downwards, all covered in thick woodland and undergrowth.

the reform school itself is built from an old village, and each structure is just a reinforced version of its original form. just behind the statue of saint bennett lies the administration building, where the staff and offices reside. it is the most well revived building, with the bricks re-painted and re-strengthened to perfection. the wooden beams have been replaced, furniture refurnished, and the hall itself looks grander than even the corridors of ivy league schools. the first floor contains the information desk, several staff rooms and teacher lounges, as well as the over-the-top principal's office and the considerably velvet-encased guidance office. the back door at the end of the corridor leads to the middle field. the second floor contains sleeping quarters for the teachers and staff.

the middle field, also referred to the courtyard, is a wide, grassy field in between the circle of buildings. the grass is ankle-length and kept that way by the gardening staff, with the occasional clump of wildflowers here and there. right at the very middle of the courtyard lies 'the staff of saint bennett', a large pillar with a cross-like structure at the tip. vines have crept up around the base, and the paint has peeled off, giving it a rather grimy appeal. many students have vandalized the structure, and none of the staff have bothered to clean it, in fear that touching it without saint bennett's permission would bring only bad luck.

the campus contains two separate academic buildings, both of which are made out of what seems to be abandoned mansions. unlike the administration building, these two are poorly preserved, with signs of abandonment still evident in the dusty windows and grimy walls, the graffiti and the creeping vines. the small rooms have been filled with comfortable computer chairs and wooden desks, the only thing new in the old buildings, and the classrooms have whiteboards instead of blackboards. they are far from crumbling, but the doors often get stuck with their rusty hinges, and the stairs are known to creak.

around the field lies an outdoor cafeteria, a roofed cafeteria, and a separate building for the library, which is basically a small, two-story structure that contains towers upon towers of books. it is a favorite spot due to the small café that it has, which sells the best coffee and tea. to the left lies the track field and the football field, to the right the soccer field, lacrosse field, and tennis court, and further along is the small gymnasium.

the dormitory is just as creaky as the academic buildings, and is found further back, separated from the courtyard via a patch of wild woodland. the building is a rather large, l-shaped structure, although the left wing has been broken down by weather and time, leaving only the right wing intact and fixed. the foyer is decorated with oil paintings and tapestries, with a grand staircase leading up to the second floor (for females) and the third floor (for males). each room has two beds and a single bath, two dressers, two study desks, and two lamps. students are not allowed to paint the walls or change the look of the rooms-- they may only put up stuff that can be taken down, such as fairy lights, posters, postcards, pictures, corkboards, and such. students are allowed to have laptops, but may only use it in the dorm, or in the library.

a few more abandoned structures can be found scattered within the confines of the woodland-- if you're lucky, you might just stumble across the small little church with its small little bell, or the small cabin by lake apricot that has been decked out by previous students with a mini-fridge, a few sleeping bags and hammocks, and a few jet-skis and canoes in the garage. although prohibited, exploring the woodland is always an interesting and exciting adventure.[/size][/justify][/fancypost]
