Seeking New Hope
Short prologue to set the scene for a little crossover I'm attempting, will be mainly Life is Strange, but will have Walking Dead characters, with a new pairing I'm interested in trying.
Disclaimer: I don't own Life is Strange, Walking Dead or their characters.
Prologue
In the town of Arcadia Bay there was a famous school known as Blackwell Academy. The school had undergone quite a number of transformations in its time, until getting to where it is now. Once a regular if somewhat expensive school that offered scholarships to those considered gifted or who showed a hard working acumen, it now included not only artistic programs such as photography for more specialised students to pursue their goals but also began introducing more specialised IEPs, along with considerable resources to make it a school that worked hard to aid 'troubled teens' with protections in place and ways to help them overcome their difficulties. This brought a lot of good press and funding to Blackwell which meant it no longer depended on parents of wealthier students donating to the school, something which many locals felt was a good thing, as it prevented a particular man from taking control of practically everything in town through his wealth.
That man was Sean Prescott, ruthless businessman and notorious for using his donations to get anything he wanted from Blackwell, especially in regards to his son. But now his son was seeking help with his mental issues, which Sean had long ignored, and the only power Sean had left over Blackwell was his position on the school board, which meant he could only get anything changed at Blackwell by getting at least two of the other four to agree with him. To his credit while he favoured the more privileged students he knew better than to try and prevent the 'troubled' students or those on scholarships from being part of Blackwell. Their presence gave good publicity to Blackwell and as a member of school board, he basked in that shared publicity, it certainly couldn't hurt his public image so he bore it with that in mind.
However tensions were building, a new businessman, even richer than Sean Prescott was now in Arcadia Bay and challenging his control. He had his own plans, ones which would shake Arcadia Bay to its core. But surprisingly, the chain of events that would bring all this to light started with a seemingly unrelated series of events, that all began with one female student at Blackwell simply making her way to class one fateful morning.
