Relook at a Rouges Plot; Plot. Plot. Story. Plot. Story.

Alright, so in Headshot's non-plot Rouge topic, I posted a tidbit of a plot spur I had on the moment. I commanded Winter to keep up a general reminder, in which I'm pretty sure only occurred twice, but anyways, I'm here taking a second look at it. Feel free to add on, or suggestions.
Let's start out with the setting before hitting it into the storyboard. I mentioned Victorian Era, England, so let's say it'll be set in England around 1850's-1860's. Biology is pumping out discoveries, the East India Company has got a strong rule and is about to be overthrown. In English society, slowly people are making their immigration toward the Americas or staying put in England. Schools for females are being established across the country, influenced by Queen Victoria. Thieves, bandits, and gypsies are at their peak in England, forming bands wreaking what havoc they can.
Now, onto our plot. In the earlier topic, we mentioned a school for rouges or bandits, which in reality would more of be a large community of thieves and gypsies, raising their children as they lived. The community would most likely have been settled in the midst of a forest, only bordered by the sea and a few small towns, the locations of their supplies.
Now, the method the elders schooled their kin may have been a small, school like organization. Members of the community would volunteer or be elected to become the kin's teachers, or mentors on their way of life. A single mentor would be assigned to three or four kin, raising them throughout the day, sending them home to their parents (if they had any) some time during the night. Occasionally, the mentors would be asked by the community to take their students on missions into a small town to retrieve food, supplies, or information on current events. These missions would normally go with ease, but this is where our twist could come in...
One possible twist for our story is that while out on a supplies mission, our small group of a mentor and three or four students (our characters) are caught by the town, and sentenced to death. Our group escapes the village, and is forced to make a decision. Either to leave the town and head back to the community risking the community being discovered, or attempt to merge into the town making new lives for themselves.

That's all I got now. You guys can add/comment, or I'll add later.

This seems like it would be a great deal of fun. I like the sound of the twist. It would be interesting if we left what path was taken to be decided IC.

By the way, it's rogue, not rouge. >.> <.< >.> <.<

Bah, I messed up. Rouge is the shade of red, correct?

Yup. Kind of a rusty red.

Kinda sounds like the side-plot of Baudelaine's School for Girls. That was fun, I think this would go well if you got it going.
