Autumn blushed when Sonny called her cute and said she didn’t need to apologize. Autumn then watched in amazement when the once bright lemon began to change color to shades of brown, the shades of each item she mentioned. Sonny further elaborated to say that she could change the color of anything. “That’s so cool! I bet there’s a lot you can do with that!” Autumn said in awe. She tucked her hair behind her ear, “There, um, there’s a few more things I can do but they’re nowhere near as cool as yours.” Autumn said shyly as she took the lemon and played with it in her hands.
“Cuan lejos?” She sighed, “Así que me llevarás, Alec.” “As far as you’ll take me, Alec.” She answered, squeezing the hand she was still holding tighter and smiling up at him. Though his other hand soon left hers, and he leaned away from her with his lips pursed as he questioned whether she deserved to lay her hands on him from that moment forth. She knew he was just playing around, but she missed the feeling of his warm hands in hers. She tilted her head to the side, giving him a pleading look. “Pleeeeeeeease?” “You thought I was a cheater?” He finished for her, pressing his lips together, a teasing glint in his eye-he wanted to see her reaction. She folded her arms across her chest, hugging herself nervously. “Er…I…well…” His eyes popped open and he made a very real gagging noise. “What? No. Do I look like that type of person?” His frown was not teasing, and neither was his tone. Camilla was jolted from her humiliation, looking momentarily afraid. “No!! Of course not! I don’t know why I even said that… I guess I was just really confused and…are you mad at me?” She looked stricken-she didn’t want to lose two friends in the span of two days. That would be a record. And she really did feel a connection with Alec. She felt even more stupid now. She kept her arms crossed too, but not because she was mad. It was as if her arms were giving her a hug, comforting and protecting her. His eyes softened, which made her feel a bit better… And was he going to kiss her?! No, he pulled away last-minute, betraying her for pizza. Her eyes widened and she looked at him with surprise. “I would be the one to decide that.” She blushed, “And your decision…?” “You’re as light as a feather.” Worriedness turned into a big smile, though she looked like she thought he was joking with her. She laughed, placing her hands on his chest for balance, wondering if she should try to get up, too. “Haha, is that so?”
@Kristi - alec : i am sorry i feel like this is an awful post
I scratched my head. "Damn, sucks to be you. I don’t know how to help you … " I lied … I knew that I could free her and some of her problems would be solved. I don’t know why I would have to help her and feel guilty if I don’t know how to help her. “I mean did you ever want friends?” I scratched my head again, wishing I didn’t have to wish for this but at the end I still ended up saying “Genie, Alena … I wish you free. Is that how I’m supposed to ask?”
Dang, he even compared Ariadne to his brother. That wasn’t romantic at all, Valentina thought, internally cringing as Ariadne questioned whether that was a good thing (it wasn’t). And when he called Valentina beautiful, but said nothing to the (much more gorgeous) brunette next to her, he made his feelings clear as a cloudless sky. They both had, and now it was time to retreat. Surprisingly, Valentina was not disappointed that these two had not worked out. Because not only did she believe she had proven herself to be absolutely right, these two had no chemistry. However, she did promise herself she’d help Theorous find a match too-he was so sweet and everyone’s ideal boyfriend. Except Ariadne. “Aww, you too, hon.” She returned the compliment with a promising smile. He giggled and winked at them, which was a slightly odd response to someone who had just hinted that they were going to get a tampon, but Valentina smiled awkwardly anyways, “Talk later, then!!” She chirped, and then began to walk towards the locker hallways, stopping right before the Castleteria ended, where Theorous surely couldn’t see them. Ariadne blushed and began to ramble, but there was really no convincing that could be done. Valentina watched with a kind smile, “No worries. And yeah, he was really adorable. But you can still find someone to be attractive without being attracted to them, no?” She tilted her head, lips turning into an understanding smile. “And I know you lied… but it’s okay, I’m not mad about it. Sorry for the awkward situation.” She was kinda only half-sorry, honestly. “Er…don’t panic, but…are you sure you don’t like girls? Not even a teeny-weeny bit?” She would give her one more chance to be honest before admitting her parent and position at the school.
@Kristi - theorous : still dead at his part- + @eunoia - ariadne : I KNOWWWW BAHAHAH
[size="3]“Oh! It sounds very scary! It’s good that it’s not there anymore, or I would have fainted!” she seemed to be exaggerated, but big, scary bugs did scare her. Maybe not enough to make her faint, but they still scared her. “You didn’t have to lie for me, but thanks anyway.” he said. “No problem. I just didn’t want you to be embarrassed.” she gave him a light shrug and smiled. The boy asked if she wanted to join him for lunch. “Of course I want to!” she beamed and grabbed his hand. “Let’s go?” she asked and lightly pulled him. “Do you know the way to the castleteria?”[/size]
Wait, fighting trees!? Tsuru’s eyes widened in surprise, looking at her in shock. “The trees…fight? Woah. Not getting fruit there.” They said, shaking their head. “Japan has Kudzu, a bad weed. Very bad weed. Chokes out all other plants. We eat it, though. No worry.” Tsuru said, smiling. @CrazyCaliope - Gaylette
Yeah, we can wrap this up.
Chiyo was enjoying her fish when her ears perked up, swiveling to an approaching sound of tiny paws. Chiyo turned just in time to see a tiny Grey kitten steal a piece of her fish. She was slightly annoyed, but you’d have to be heartless to be mad at that face. The kitten greeted her in a tiny voice, asking about the fish. “Ok, but don’t eat it all.” She said, picking up a piece herself, ears twitching. “Where’s your owner? I’d guess a little thing like yourself isn’t out here alone.” @elixr - Peanut
[color= #FFFFF]And there was her first mistake. No, no, not mistake. Tulip didn’t like to have regrets, but it was hard not to feel guilty watching the kind, soft features of the boy become painful and nauseated as he hit the ground. Her hand flew away from his, suspended in midair. At the sound of his yelp and a chair crashing to the ground, Tulip winced and her hands clamped over her ears even though it wasn’t that loud. The sound of the collision had attracted plenty of stares and people were whispering. The boy didn’t meet her eyes, murmuring to the floor. He was probably humiliated. What had just happened had pretty much confirmed this boy had a severe case of germaphobia. Which made a pretty bad adventuring partner, but Tulip wasn’t giving up on him yet. He was on the floor, and germaphobes weren’t really the type to lie on the floor, which was surely much more grimy and disgusting then her hands. Okay, she was done assessing the situation. The first thing to do was to put some of the attention onto her to help him feel better. So, she allowed herself to also crash to the ground, white sneakers making a distasteful screech on the tile. She let out a tiny squeak as she slammed to the ground, though she barely felt anything, using one hand to push hair out of her face. [/color]“Don’t beat yourself up about it, I don’t need an apology. And if you think they aren’t your taste either, there’s no need to eat the chips.” She gave him her prettiest smile, wanting him to cheer up. She didn’t like it when the mood was dampened like this, she wanted to have some fun. Tulip was curious about the whole family thing, but bringing it up again would probably make things worse. “I don’t know why I even let the chefs put them on my tray.”
Destrian felt a little under attack with Lady Lorelai’s tone, "No, fair maiden, as I have said, I hail from Camelot, not as thou says, ‘under a rock’. Destrian remembered he was shirtless and grabbed his simple white linen shirt and slipped it on, “My deepest apologies, Lady Lorelai, had I known a woman of thou beauty and grace or any woman would visit me, I would not have removed my shirt in thou presence. Please forgive me.” He listened to her speak of her home with a soft smile, “Sounds truly grand, Lady Lorelai.” The fair maiden then spoke of her outfit and why she wore such things. “Ah, so thine clothing be of the finest in the land?” He took a step back as being this close to a woman, even doing something as small and seemingly insignificant as touching their clothing, as he had, has led even the best of knights to fall, but Destrian was determined to be a great knight like his father before him and not lay with a woman before holy matrimony. However, he still must show this fair maiden and all women the proper respect, with these thoughts Destrian fell to one knee again and apologized once more, “Forgive me, Lady Lorelai, I should not have touched thine clothing. It was wrong of me, If thou will forgive me, I will never do it again as long as I am a Knight of the Round Table!” loosely translated: he’ll never do it again for as long as he still breathes.
I was delighted when she accepted my proposal to join me for lunch, but I hoped she knew the way to the cafeteria so when she asked me “Do you know the way to the castleteria?” I almost panicked a bit, but instead I chose to be cool and say “Yeah I have a plan.” And I pointed to a random guy and said “Follow him.” I looked at her, expecting for her to be either worried or sceptical of that response so withouth her having to say anything I added “Don’t worry, there are two directions to go and to go to a cafeteria at lunch time you just follow the direction most people seem to take. I realize there are some people who don’t go to the cafeteria, but those are few most of few are already excluded by the choice to follow the mayority. Come on, if the hungry people pass we’ll really be lost and probably won’t get a chance to eat before class.”
Dawn sighed. “Yes…humans…” she hissed, glowering. She looked very disappointed, shoulders slumped. “Wait…what is a…dance?” Dawn asked, tilting her head like a confused puppy. She really wanted to go, but she was scared of humans. “…Would you go if I did?” She asked, staring at Samantha with pleading eyes. @Bluecookies - Samantha
Damn, I want to hug Dawn now.
Samantha sighed, “a ‘dance’ is a formal event in which men dress in suits and the ladies wear dresses and they dance to music and socialize.” Dawn then put on a ‘pleading’ face and asked if Samantha would go if she did. “No way, I really really hate humans and if I did go, I doubt the faculty would appreciate my making it an all-I-can-eat buffet…to put it, nicely.” She sighed again, “but given your choice of attire, I know a place we can find a good dress for you, but that’s it, got it?”
Dawn blinked. Well, that all flew over her head. Oh well. She huffed in annoyance when Samantha said she wouldn’t go with her, but would come to get her a dress. It made sense, though. “Thank you. What store?” She said quietly. She took the paper back, shoving it in her pocket. Dawn truly had no idea what she’d end up getting herself into. @Bluecookies - Samantha
His eyes widened upon hearing her remarks, but he smiled charmingly as he released her arms, he’d pretend he hadn’t heard her so she wouldn’t feel embarrassed (though it was kinda obvious he had). He nodded, glad she was okay. “I’m glad to hear it. I was worried.” He wanted to get to know her better and ask her some questions, but the whole ‘Kiku launching themselves into a tree’ thing was first priority in his mind. He looked up at them anxiously. They’d said they didn’t need help, so Royal was debating whether he should insist he help. Letting them do this all by themselves went against his helpful nature, but he didn’t want them to think he was babying them either when they said they didn’t need them. So he settled for a compromise, being a “backseat climber”, jeweled hands making the motions he believed Kiku should be making to climb down, and every once in a while calling out something like, “Ooh, that branch to your right!” or “Wait, not that one, it doesn’t look sturdy enough…” Tatum, next to him, also reached into the air at times, comforting him somewhat, making him think perhaps she shared a bit of his mindset.
When Tatum spoke again, his eyes watched her, and he laughed as she made a swooping motion in the air. “Yeah, that looked really…” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Wow.” Was all he had to contribute to the conversation. “This is why I can’t eat curry.” His brows raised. Wait, did they… He stopped trying to analyze what was behind Kiku’s launch as Tatum turned to face him fully because he couldn’t really think that straight anymore. His eyes followed her fingertip pointed upwards at the tree. “What was it?” He smiled, placing a hand on his stomach as he took a short mock-bow. “Royal. Shoe-bringer and tier, at your service.” Despite the formality, he left out the fact that he was a prince. He was just about to tear his eyes away from hers when… Snap! He could definitely hear voices. He hadn’t gone as deep as he thought… He took a protective step in front of his new friends, squinting at the branches, even though that was no help.
Samantha rolled her eyes, “You’ll be fine, there’s a thing called witnesses and you’ll be surrounded by them and the faculty, so nothing is going to happen to you.” Samantha laughed, “Oh no, we’re not shopping here. There’s a shop in my village and let’s just say the shopkeeper and my family have…an understanding.” Samantha pulled out the letter that contained the transportation spell used to get the students to OUAH. “We’re going to Transylvania.” She said with a smirk as she turned her back to Dawn and cast the spell. “You coming?” She turned around and asked.
Kiku smiled when Tatum asked if they were ok. “Yeah, I’m ok. Thanks for the help. When she apologized, they shook their head. “Ah, it’s ok. Heh, thanks. You think it’s cool?” They asked Royal. “It’s kind of embarrassing…what happened is…I farted. Yeah. You were expecting something more, I’d guess, but that’s it. Just extreme gas.” When Royal stepped in front of them after hearing voices, they peered over his shoulder, curious. @eunoia - Tatum @ethereal - Royal
Dawn nodded when Samantha said there would be witnesses. Samantha explained they were going to Transylvania, and Dawn decided not to question it. Samantha turned, casting some sort of spell, asking if Dawn was coming. She nodded, silently following her. She looked around in awe, wondering how far they’d gone. “Wow…” @Bluecookies - Samantha
Gayelette watched as Tsuru’s face showed shock at her mention of the forest, and the only reaction she had was a kind smile and a nod. “Only if you provoke them,” she answered with that same soft-spoken voice. “You have to stay away from their fruit. Picking them will cause them to revolt. If you leave them be, however, you can walk through peacefully.” Tsuru talked of Japan’s bad weed that hurts other plants. “How dreadful for the plants.”
It was getting nearer the end of class now and when the bell rang to signal its end, Gayelette thanked Tsuru for the conversation and educating her on Japan before moving on. They went their separate ways as they headed to their next classes. To which they both found themselves in Advanced Chemythstry but decidedly didn’t sit together again; Gayelette finding fascinating company in a student named Vic.
“No worries. And yeah, he was really adorable. But you can still find someone to be attractive without being attracted to them, no?" Ari felt her stomach not up. She hated lier’s, but yet, here she was. “Yeah, I think?”Does she know? “And I know you lied… but it’s okay, I’m not mad about it. Sorry for the awkward situation.” Ari turned red. Maybe she only knows I don’t like him? “Er…don’t panic, but…are you sure you don’t like girls? Not even a teeny-weeny bit?” Ariadne stood in her tracks. Head down, face burning. “It was supposed to be a phase.” She whispered. "They’re so pretty, it hurts " she had been hiding for so long. These feelings, they’re not gone. Can I tell anyone? Should I? Why am I afraid of what they’ll say? She always just pushed them away. I’m acting so strange.“I’m not talking 'bout boys, I’m talking 'bout girls” Hot tears running down her face. She watched a couple fall to the ground. “I’m sorry for lying” She sniffed, wiping her eyes. “I- I’ve been scared.”
@ethereal - Valentina : that got dramatic fast, and sorry bout stealing ur lingo with the songs it fit to well tho
Samantha closed her eyes and breathed in the cool night air. She could actually feel the moonbeams of the crescent moon shine down on her but unlike the sun there was no warmth to it, something she rather enjoyed. She exhaled and opened her eyes. It would’ve been hard to miss her now blood red irises in place of their normal color, however in a blink they were back to normal. Samantha popped her neck and smiled an actual genuine smile, “It’s good to be back.” She actually felt, for lack of a better word, happy, like an entirely different ‘person’. “Come on, it’s a long walk to town.” She then stopped and smiled, “Or I could get us there faster. If you choose the latter I will need to know what your opinions are about flying or riding an animal…” She said trying to sound as vague as possible, hoping Dawn will choose the latter however the former did offer a more ‘intimate’ first look at her village as walking, while talking longer would mean she could soak in the atmosphere of her village at night again and Dawn could see it better instead of a blur.
it fit to well tho
