Chapter 1 - Let the game begin

I woke up with gambler kid standing over me. "Are you ok?" He asked. "You were out longer than anyone else."

My head felt like it was about to crack in two but I answered. "Yeah I'm fine. I never asked, what's your name."

"Joseph." he answered. "Joseph Rain. You?"

"Echo." I answered. "My actual name is Steven Rodgers but everyone just calls me Echo."

"Echo." he said the name as if he were trying to analyze it. "Well Echo nice to meet you. Speaking of meeting, time for you to meet the other fourteen wonderful students at Sky Academy."

"Wait. What happened earlier." I asked.

"Short answer, we all got knocked out and we're trapped in this school. As far as I can tell every exit has been sealed so there's no way out." He said this in such a calm manner that for a moment I got chills. When I didn't answer he kept talking. "Time to get up you still have people to meet."

I guess worrying about our current situation was worthless if I didn't know who I was in the situation with me. So I got up and talked to the nearest person.

She was a girl. She seemed pretty tall. Straight braided blond hair. Blue eyes and an athletic physique. "Hey im Echo. Who are you."

"Felicia." She answered with a slight lisp that wouldn't have been noticeable if I hadn't spent my entire life studying language. "I'm a programer. Ya know that new zelda game that just came out? That was me."

"You made an entire game?" the shock was evident in my voice even though I knew everyone here was extremely talented.

"Yes." She answered. Her voice got a little quieter. I must have startled her a little. Her whole persona seems to shrink a little.

"Well it was nice meeting you. Ill talk to you later." I said as I moved on to the next person. I realised I never told her what my skill was but I guess that didn't matter much.

Next up I talked to the six five guy who was having a staring contest earlier. I introduced myself and he said in a heavy southern accent. "I'm Jasion. I recon-I'll tell ya my skill or whateva." Southern accents. Like someone stabbed the english language and then set it on fire. "I'm a sports star. Football, Hockey, Wrestling all of it. What bout you?"

"I'm a linguistic expert." He nodded with a confused expression on his face causing me to walk away.

I moved on and before I could talk to anyone else a kid bumped into me. "Sorry dude didn't see ya there." Ether he was blind or that was a lie. He was a thin kid with brown eyes and dirty blond hair. Anyway I introduced myself and then asked who he was. "I'm Leif Brewer." He answered. I was waiting for him to explain more about himself when he turned around and walked away to talk to someone else.

Next I introduced myself to two girls who were standing next to each other. One was black with short black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Next to her was probably the whitest girl I had ever seen. She had shoulder length red hair and vibrant green eyes.

"Hey I'm Eliza Markov" The redhead said.

"I'm Kate Valentine" The black haired girl said.

"Cool. What are your skills? Mines just languages."

"Languages?" Kate asked.

"Yeah I've memorized over one hundred languages and all of the accents of each of those languages."

"So can you tell where people are from just by their voice?" Eliza

"Yeah. Like you're both from the west coast. Around Seattle I'm guessing."
