Calvin, wearing a red T-shirt and black jeans, appears between Elizabeth and Noam.
"Hey. 'Sup?"
"Calvin."
"Who's she? Sounds hot.""Calvin.""Yeah? Oh, have you met Elizabeth yet?"
The dark recess that is Noam's head turns to look at Elizabeth.She grins, and proceeds to quickly snap a picture of them.
"Hi! I'm Noam. Nice to meet you!"
Calvin, wearing a red T-shirt and black jeans, appears between Elizabeth and Noam.The sudden appearance of another person sort of frightens her, judging by that 'Eep!' noise she just made.
"Hey. 'Sup?"
Charlotte walked slowly towards a random table, a notebook clutched tightly in her hand. As she took her seat close to Noam and the other she studied the people around her, memorising their appearances. She wore a long red dress
"Who's she? Sounds hot."
Charlotte paused for a second and looked up towards Noam, then a smile came onto her face. She quickly takes out a pen and writes something in the notebook and then shows it to Noam. It says thank you.
((Good timing.))((This was my turn to make Retcon reactions.))
"Oh, hey. Nice to meet you, too."
Elizabeth blushes a bit from the compliment, not sure what to really say."Who's she? Sounds hot.""Calvin.""Yeah? Oh, have you met Elizabeth yet?"
((Elizabeth should probably react.
Also, it feels weird to write Calvin's dialogue.))
Charlotte nodded and wrote down her reply.
'I'm Charlotte it's nice to meet you too'
"Aw, that's too sad, but don't worry, I talk enough for two people!"
A voice comes from Noam's stomach, "Or more if I put my mind to it!"
Elizabeth blushes a bit from the compliment, not sure what to really say.
So instead she looks towards the other new person.
"Oh, hey there! The name's Elizabeth Calipso, pleased to meet you!"
A voice comes from Noam's stomach, "Or more if I put my mind to it!""...Fucking weird, dude."
Charlotte let out a silent giggle but then realising where the voice had come from she looked curiously at the figure.
"...Fucking weird, dude."
A knife lands just in front of Calvin.
"Mister Calvin. No name calling."
It was the fairy. One may now notice that the pair are wearing prefect armbands. And the fairy speaks with an Australian accent.
A knife lands just in front of Calvin."Huh?"
"Mister Calvin. No name calling."
It was the fairy. One may now notice that the pair are wearing prefect armbands. And the fairy speaks with an Australian accent.
Rocky responds.
"Miss Elizabeth doesn't really like name calling. Something 'bout pa."
Elizabeth shrugs.
"I don't like talking about it."
"Wait for stuff to happen? Prattle on about our powers?""Eh, I guess those are ssoorrttaa okay. So... Uh.. I'm good with Tech, and stuff!"
"Eh, I guess those are ssoorrttaa okay. So... Uh.. I'm good with Tech, and stuff!"
Aoi just sits somewhere nearby.
Aoi looks at Noam, studying them carefully.
"....Aoi."
"Could I ask that of you, Noam?"
Aoi's mouth curls into a little smile.
"That looks...pretty."
She nods, examining the feathers before looking at Noam's face.
"No."
She shrugs.
"I find it quite....pretty."
Aoi smiles a bit before returning to reading a book.
"Uh... Nope! More like just.... I think things to computers and stuff, and they listen.""Eh, I guess those are ssoorrttaa okay. So... Uh.. I'm good with Tech, and stuff!"
"Oh, neato! How are you good with tech? Can you make stuff out of a, like, couple of paperclips or whatever?"
Aoi just sits somewhere nearby.Elizabeth grins a bit, and waves to the new person.
"Uh... Nope! More like just.... I think things to computers and stuff, and they listen."
"Oh, you even giggle silently too! Neato. I bet you do everything silently!"
'Most things'
'How do you do that?'
'Your power is to have a mouth on your stomach?'
Aoi nods to Elizabeth."Uh... Nope! More like just.... I think things to computers and stuff, and they listen.""Eh, I guess those are ssoorrttaa okay. So... Uh.. I'm good with Tech, and stuff!"
"Oh, neato! How are you good with tech? Can you make stuff out of a, like, couple of paperclips or whatever?"Aoi just sits somewhere nearby.Elizabeth grins a bit, and waves to the new person.
"Hiya! My name's Elizabeth. It's nice to meet you!"
Charlotte nodded, that made much more sense it also explained the peacock feathers on their head. It was still pretty creepy however and there was something about their explanation that confused her.
'If you don't have bones how come you can still move around? Shouldn't you just be a pile on the floor?'
"Fuckin' creepy..." Calvin mutters, still trying to find something interesting.
"By the way, did you guys know there's a beach in this school?"
"You all game for heading there?"
"Betcha I can get there before anyone else."
Calvin walks out of the room, and once out of sight of the others he and his friend switch places. Said friend locates the others and begins following them.
Everyone makes good time to the beach as they all had it in mind when looking for it.
"Fun, isn't it? Wish I'd brought my swimsuit..."
Aoi leans back in a chair, reading a book.
The book is about....a particular magical academy.
"I would f-feel quite n-nervous about showing myself off to you all..."
She nods.
Andrej goes to the beach and greets the others.
"Hi."
((Jesus that was beautiful...))
Erden would feel his senses slowly return to normal around him and a gentle warmth in the distance.
Calvin leaves, changes into a swimsuit, and returns.
-snil-
Elizabeth follows her new sorta-friends, to the beach room, curiously. She just sits down somewhere, planning to just relax on the sand.
Sure.Elizabeth follows her new sorta-friends, to the beach room, curiously. She just sits down somewhere, planning to just relax on the sand.
Noam waves at Elizabeth and Andrej, "Wanna go into the water?"
"Maybe in a little bit, sure!"Elizabeth follows her new sorta-friends, to the beach room, curiously. She just sits down somewhere, planning to just relax on the sand.
Noam waves at Elizabeth and Andrej, "Wanna go into the water?"
Sure.
"Maybe in a little bit, sure!"
Lizzy just cheerfully watches for a while.
"Duh."Calvin leaves, changes into a swimsuit, and returns.Noam blinks slowly, "Does this mean you're going swimming?"
"Duh."
And so he does.
Enki walks into the beach room, and takes a seat in a chair, a few over from the others.
Aoi sighs.Lizzy just grins, and then follows off to get changed as well.
"This is getting boring."
She walks off to get changed.
-snil-
Noam waves at the new arrival, "Hello! I'm Noam. What's your name?"Erden suddenly hears a voice. Not very loud but somewhat pleasant.
<I'll get the whole thing with the school fixed once I'm done ridin' this gnarly wave dude.>
In a while Erden would notice that he can navigate the ACADEMY with ease as the earth is able to tell him where to go.
Andrej welcomes the new guy. "You must be new here. What's your name?"
Andrej takes off his clothes to reveal that he has his swimsuit underneath them and jumps into the water.
Andrej takes off his clothes to reveal that he has his swimsuit underneath them and jumps into the water.
She slowly goes into the water, deciding to simply wade around for a bit.
"If there was one around the school, I would gladly do it."
"Implied by your enjoyment of it.""Indeed, Enki-san."
Enki chuckles and enters as well.
When Charlotte came back onto the beach she was wearing a bright red bathing suit, she started to walk towards the sea but as she passed where she had been sitting she dropped the notebook into the sand. It would get ruined in the water after all. She increased her speed after she dropped it and was soon running at top speed into the sea.
Lizzy chuckles a bit, and then proceeds to finally go into the ocean, laughing a bit.
Most of the horses are normal but some of them look vaguely familiar... Like characters from a cartoon. You can't quite remember what though.
Noam swims up to Charlotte and Lizzy. "Wanna play? Please~ It'll be lots of fun!"
Noam swims up to Charlotte and Lizzy. "Wanna play? Please~ It'll be lots of fun!""Sure! What do you want to do?"
Charlotte nodded and mouthed ok, she wasn't entirely sure what the game was but it should be fun.
"Sure! What do you want to do?"
She giggles just a bit, wondering what it'll be.
Enki's horse starts walking."Further studies, Enki-san."
"So, Miss Aoi, what brings you to the Academy?"
Noam swims around in circles, "What do you wanna do? We could have a race, or play Marco Polo, or throw balls around and stuff!"
Charlotte shrugged the best that she could while treading water, hoping that this would indicate that she didn't mind what they played.
"Whoa, your power seems awesome!"Charlotte shrugged the best that she could while treading water, hoping that this would indicate that she didn't mind what they played.
"Wanna grab a ball then? I would, but..." Noam surfaces and waves a fin at Charlotte before diving again.
Charlotte's eyes widened as she saw the fin, it was difficult getting used to someone who could change their body like that. She quickly recovered however and nodded before heading back to shore to find a ball to play with.
"Whoa, your power seems awesome!"
Elizabeth giggles a little bit, and just treads water.
After a while of searching Charlotte finally found a ball that they could play with, she looked back over to where Noam was and nodded in response. She moved back to the edge of the water and threw the ball over to Noam before entering the sea once more.
"Uh.. Alright! Sure! Let's go!"
She giggles a bit, and decides to try and balance it on her own nose. She's not that good at such.
Charlotte giggled slightly as she watched Elizabeth try to balance the ball on her noseElizabeth tries again, and fails once more, giggling as it happens, regardless.
Elizabeth tries again, and fails once more, giggling as it happens, regardless.
"Heheheh! This is actually pretty fun!"
Charlote watched Elizabeth curiously as the girl swam through the water, a smile broke onto her face as she saw Elizabeth surface sending the ball flying high into the air. As the ball came back down she caught it smoothly and copying the others she tried to balance the ball on her nose. She was met with the same amount of success that Elizabeth had.
Charlotte let out another silent giggle and then passed the ball back to Noam.
Rocky gets up and walks over to Erden.
"Son, you do know that ocean water is salty right?"
"Eep! W-whoa! Careful.. Careful..."
Somehow, she is able to balance it slightly more than Noam. Just barely so. Like a tenth of a second or something, at least.
Rocky draws up to his full height as well. Despite being shorter between the two rockmen he still looks confident.
"Ah'm David Johnson. Me an' ma sister Elizabeth are prefects here. If you look 'round some you'll most likely see ma other siblings who are students and janitors."
David nods.
((Real quick thing before you get confused, Rocky is David. I just was nicknaming him that since he was described as being made of rock when he was introduced.))
((Real quick thing before you get confused, Rocky is David. I just was nicknaming him that since he was described as being made of rock when he was introduced.))
((Shush, I haven't even written down a description for god and he was literally the first character introduced.))((Real quick thing before you get confused, Rocky is David. I just was nicknaming him that since he was described as being made of rock when he was introduced.))
((He was made of clay when he was introduced...))
She finds the VR room.
She finds the guidance counselor's office.
She finds the women's locker room. The Amazonians are still there. They must love that place.STILL NO. ADVEEEEEENTUUUUUUUURE.
The door to the CITY. It says it's closed.
No. Just... no.
If you have some I'll tell you.
She walks onto a vast white expanse that has a sign on it.
It says:
'Told you. LoL.'
"God cares. And the other prefects care as well. And don't even get me started on the janitors."
"You will put it back. It doesn't matter the circumstances. If you want one that bad just ask for one at requisitions."
"And what is the point. It's already back there."
This is true. It's a different sign now. It says: 'Jaqc is a psychopath.'
The signs says 'I don't care'.
Elizabeth just shrugs and walks off.
The sign is now blank.
Seeing that everyone else was leaving the beach Charlotte made her way back to the shore, after picking up her notebook and getting changed she headed to her room to make herself at home.
Noam obviously waves at Charlotte as she passes by.
Charlotte gave a smile and a wave in return and paused to write something in her notebook.
'I'm just going to sort out my room, I'll join you once I'm done.' after showing Noam the message she continued on to her room.
oh hey, that girl looks interesting! Jacque sits across fro Aoi, poking her book. "Yo."Aoi nods to Jacque.
oh hey, that girl looks interesting! Jacque sits across fro Aoi, poking her book. "Yo."Aoi nods to Jacque.
Aoi looks up from her book.
"Pardon me?"
"I am Aoi Futaba."
Aoi extends her hand to shake Jacque's.
"My...gifts are to do with command of the wind."
She happens to be reading "The House of Midnight", a series about a magical academy where only the most gifted of mages go."I am Aoi Futaba."
Aoi extends her hand to shake Jacque's.
"My...gifts are to do with command of the wind."
"Pleasure's all mine, love." She takes the hand, shaking it. "Chu readin'?"

Erden grumbled. Suddenly the dorms were becoming not so quiet. The other students seem to have conveniently decided that this would be a good time to move in, disturbing his peace of mind. Eventually, he shrugged to himself. They had to move in at some point. The fact that they moved in when he wanted to relax was not their fault. Instead, he decided he would focus on more important matters such as food. So, turned and shuffled out of his room with the intention of going into the Mess Hall.
...But not without first nearly running into one of the nice young ladies from the beach. Erden recognized her immediately by her pretty long red dress. "My apologies..." He stepped into the doorway and gestured further down the hall, his face tilted towards the floor.
"Zhey have kicked my dog indeed, if id meens what I think it meens. But zhey will repay in due time."
"The end of the world cometh. Chained in heaven are they. Seven is their number. Bred in depth of ocean, neither male nor female are they they are as the howling wind, which knoweth not mercy, which knoweth nor mercy."
A smile broke onto Charlotte's face as he stepped aside for her, it was nice to see someone so polite. She paused for a bit writing something quickly into her notebook and the tapping the man on the shoulder so he could see her reply.
'No problem' after this she quickly went back to writing and then showed the next question 'What's your name?'
"Heedless are they to prayer and suplication. They are the serpent. They are the furious beast, the windstorm. Evil winds they are, the evil breath that heraldeth the baneful storm. They are mighty children, heralds of pestilence, throner bearers of ereshigal."
Georgia seems to be getting really into her speech.
"If there chain up in heaven, then let give them a good kicking now, set um right."
suggests Lilith cracking her knuckles.
"They are the flood that rusheth through the land. Seven gods of might, seven demons of oppression. Seven in heaven and seven on earth. Of giant strength and giant thread are they. Knowing no care they grind the land like corn."
"You really do want to star in a Japanese porno?
well ill help you film but no more." a frank looking Lilith asks Noam
"You really do want to star in a Japanese porno?Aoi shoots Lilith a glare.
well ill help you film but no more." a frank looking Lilith asks Noam
"Are ya talkin' 'bout one of them Japanese pornos?""Because God kicked them back to the void an' all that."
An awkward moment ensued. His mind was racing. Why hadn't she given a reply? Did he manage to deeply offend this woman? He didn't dare look her in the eyes. There were scratching sounds. Then he felt the tap and looked down. In her hand, she had written something in her notebook. But perhaps more importantly, she was smiling. Erden smiled also, a weight being taken off his shoulders. He didn't need to read the notebook to know what to say.
So Erden laughed, a terrifying rumbling sound, before replying. "I am glad that I have not offended you. My name is Erden. It is a pleasure to meet you my dear" He crossed his hand across his chest, and bowed as much as his portly form would allow.
"An i was going to stop drinking, but now it doesn't matter." lilith starts to look around for some booze.
"I was trying to cheer up Ivan the kill joy here, but i guess she isn't going too." replies Lilith.
"Lilith Monroe, pleased to meat you" the pale young lady holds out her hand to sake.
"Say, do you any of you fear death? And the slow, and disgusting decay of the flesh, as it rots around your soul, that predates it?"
((Let it be noted that Calvin's views are not my own.))"Huh. Seems a bit like this place... Albiet hopefully we won't end up with quite so much sex."She happens to be reading "The House of Midnight", a series about a magical academy where only the most gifted of mages go."I am Aoi Futaba.""Pleasure's all mine, love." She takes the hand, shaking it. "Chu readin'?"
Aoi extends her hand to shake Jacque's.
"My...gifts are to do with command of the wind."
"Limiteed mortals. Vhen veel you open your eyez and reealise that this akademee is meaningless. For tvousands of years, those that bear the gift have reached heigds you cand eeven dream off, without any akademee"She would feel someone tapping on her shoulder. Or maybe punching it weakly.
"The end of the world cometh. Chained in heaven are they. Seven is their number. Bred in depth of ocean, neither male nor female are they they are as the howling wind, which knoweth not mercy, which knoweth nor mercy."Calvin listens to Hainawule intently.
"Compared to you lifestock, an existance like mine only happens once every millenium. Do not compare me to you germs."She would now feel someone punching her repeatedly. And kicking her some.
((You can do it. Note that if it escalates into a real fight that prefects always are above you by ten points.))
Aoi twitches, but doesn't move.
She stands up, looking at both Gregoria and Calvin.
"Enough. Both of you. Save it for training."
((You can do it. Note that if it escalates into a real fight that prefects always are above you by ten points.))((No fighting prefects, gotcha.))
Grigoria kneels to her blood on the ground, and extends her tounge over an arms length of lick it up. There's a couple of eyes alongside the length of that tounge.
"If you desire to find out, I can arrange a meeting and a contract. It will give you powers beyond your wildest dreams, and you will be among the chosen that will survive the end of the world."
"This is merely a representation of the third eye opened within me. It allows me to observe the past and all possible futures."
((We're using the RotMG system so D100 plus the relavent skill. In this caze it would be... power.))
"For you, there is no future. not even the realm of the dead will be safe from the wrath of the thunderstorm of the apocalypse. There is only one way to save yourself."
"Offer your soul up to the Ogdru Jahad. You will walk on earth as a the one eyed among the blind, as the upright man among the paralyzed, the healthy among the diseased. I will show you how..."
-snip-
"Yeah. 'Hi'."-snip-Noam looks confused, "Was it something I said?"
"Yeah. 'Hi'."
"Don't mind her. She's just mad that her gods aren't on the collective planes of existance anymore."
"Nothing? Iunno.""Yeah. 'Hi'.""Oh. What should I have said, then?"
"Nothing? Iunno."
"What can i do? oh just this!" Lilith smiles as she Teleport a"Lilith Monroe, pleased to meat you" the pale young lady holds out her hand to sake.
Noam sticks out their hand and shakes Lilith's. "You too! Lilith's such a nice name, but Noam's pretty good too! What can you do?"
"What can i do? oh just this!" Lilith smiles as she Teleport a flesh drink in to her hand.
"I'd be glad to be your friend!""Nothing? Iunno.""Ooh... Okay..." Noam flops onto a nearby chair, "Bleh. Do you think we could still be friends?"
"What can i do? oh just this!" Lilith smiles as she Teleport a flesh drink in to her hand.Ew.
"I'd be glad to be your friend!"
Calvin smiles and nods."I'd be glad to be your friend!""R-really?"
Calvin smiles and nods.
"Whoa! Neato! Wanna see what I can do? It's pretty awesome.""Come on then what can you do?" asks lilith
Calvin hugs back.Calvin smiles and nods.Noam suddenly embraces Calvin in a big hug, not saying a word.
Calvin hugs back.
"Come on then what can you do?" asks lilith

It took her a bit by surprise how formal he was, she supposed she should have guessed it from his earlier actions but she hadn't really met anyone like this before. Charlotte feeling that she should at least try to copy the man's formal attitude curtsied in response and then went back to writing in her book.
'My name is Charlotte, it's nice to meet you too'
"No prob."Calvin hugs back."S-sorry. I don't have many friends."
"No prob."
Aoi shrugs at Gregoria before returning to reading her book.
"Hopefully, Grey-san."
"I can change my body around and stuff, see?" Noam lifts up his hoodie to reveal a giant mouth in his stomach. It grins at Lilith, and lets out a burp.
-snip-
"Woh you must be interesting to know, but how does that really help you?" asks Lilith with a knowing smile.
"You can do this can you?" asks Lilith as she teleports a bag of crisp in to her hand.
Noam waves to Charlotte as she enters the mess hall, "Hello! Sorry for leaving, but I was really, really hungry and needed some food!"
"The first book."Aoi shrugs at Gregoria before returning to reading her book.
"Hopefully, Grey-san."
"Which one's your favorite?"
Noam shakes their head, "Nope."Lilith smiles"then you have no idea how useful it is."
Charlotte waved back and headed over to Noam taking a seat by them
Lilith smile"then you have no idea how useful it is."
Charlotte smiled back at Noam and shook her head
"Good book.""Agreed."
Enki reads his book still, but chimes into the conversion.
'Hello, my name is Charlotte it's nice to meet you'"And its a pleasure to meet you to Charlotte" Lilith smiles
Lizzy just... does something. Nothing really anything specific, because I'm not sure what's happened while I was at school.
Charlotte paused for a second and then wrote down a question that she showed to all the people around her.
'Do any of you speak sign language? It's easier for me to talk that way'
Noam shakes their head, "I could learn though! If you were to teach me, of course."
The nerdy guy raises his hand.
A smile formed on Charlotte's face as she heard those words and she quickly wrote down her reply 'I would love to teach you'
"Yes!" Noam does a little bounce in his seat, "When can we start?"
After a fumbling start the guy signs out 'I'm James Johnson'.
She paused for a second thinking and then picked her notebook back up and began writing again 'Maybe tomorrow, if we have time of course. Even if we do start tomorrow though it is going to take a while to speak it fluently, it is a whole other language after all'
Andrej Walks into the room that Noam and Charlotte are in."Hi again. Sorry for leaving before."
Noam giggles, "Okay then! I can't wait! I'll study really hard and stuff, because you're my friend! ... Right?"
((Sorry I'm late in posting this, had school, had to update my RtD and all that))
Andrej Walks into the room that Noam and Charlotte are in."Hi again. Sorry for leaving before."
'My father spent a time unable to hear after an incident with a requisition. And also I'm one of the peer helpers for the disabled students. Before you ask G-' he is referring to God most likely' doesn't just restore the senses as it wouldn't help heroes learn to be the best they can be.'
Charlotte smiled at Noam and nodded, it was nice to meet someone who was willing to make friends so easily.
"I just had to go prepare my room, is all. So what are you up to now?"Andrej Walks into the room that Noam and Charlotte are in."Hi again. Sorry for leaving before."
Noam waves happily, "It's okay! What'cha have to do?"
The man straightens up and turns his chair around before wheeling it over in a small blast of wind.
"Hello. Are you here to request something? I hope it's not armor..."
"I just had to go prepare my room, is all. So what are you up to now?"
The man shrugs.
"Well, I guess that the room needs cleaned up... sure. Kyle Johnson. Before you ask yes, most of the other Johnsons are my kids."
Erden may notice that David and Kyle do look similar.
James looks thoughtful.((I kinda wish there wasn't a way to get her a voice...))
'Have you thought of trying the requisitions room? God gives them special treatment to be able to fix stuff like that in return for favors.'
Noam giggles and gives Charlotte a hug, "Awesome! It's nice to have lots of friends, don't you think?"
Charlotte was taken a bit by surprise by Noam's hug but after a moment she returned it and not being able to answer without her hands she simply nodded in response.
Aoi asks for a staff of some sort, before looking at Erden curiously.
Aoi frowns slightly, before looking to Noam.
"That is a shame."
She smiles slightly again.
Enki enters.
"Greetings."
"That is good to hear, Noam-san."
Aoi sighs.
"Sorry. It is a habit of mine to insert honorifics after the names of others."
Aoi nods and says her thanks, taking the staff.
"An honorific is a word or expression denoting a sense of respect. In my case, Noam.....I would append it to the end of your name.
And we have met."
"It's a pleasure, Noam. I'm Enki. And yes, Miss Aoi was the first individual I met here."
He nods at Aoi, lowering his black hood to reveal his messy blonde hair.
Lizzy eventually finds her way to the Requisitions room, being ridiculously cheerful.
"Hey guys! How're you all doing?"
"Currently, I'm not really doing anything."
Aoi adjusts her black hairband, sighing, before taking that off and affixing her hair with a barrette instead.
"I treat everyone like that, Noam....*sigh*..san."
Aoi's eyes widen.
"Eh?"
"I did not do anything to deserve a hug, Noam-san. What was that for?"
James shrugs.Charlotte nodded sighing slightly, it seemed liked an interpreter would be easier for now
'Yeah, normally your more likely to lose a limb on the mission than get the thing you want. It doesn't help that there's only one restorer for a sense made in a hundred years... We might not even have one. But yeah... if you want an interpreter so you don't have to write everything down you can ask for one in... requisitions surprisingly. Be sure to mention if you have someone specific to them.'
Noam giggles and releases Charlotte, "Sorry. I don't have that many friends."
Enki enters.
"Greetings."
Aoi giggles a bit.
"I am sure I am not the only one around here to respect you."
"So, uh, what are your powers? Sorry if it's an awkward question."
Charlotte's smile faltered as she heard Noam's statement, it seemed odd that someone as friendly as them didn't have more friends. But she quickly fixed her smile as Aoi began to talk and wrote down something in her book to show him
'It's fine, I'm glad I can be your friend'
"I respect most people, even if I just have gotten their acquaintance."
"Now, what do you wish me to call you, Noam? Title-wise."
"So, uh, what are your powers? Sorry if it's an awkward question.""Hahahah... Why, you, my friend, are looking at the best darn hacker you'll ever see. Really, that's why I'm here! I could hack a system by just focusing on it, given enough time."
"Such as I call Aoi as Miss Aoi or Lady Aoi. What would you prefer to be called?"
"I share her sentiment."
"So, uh, what are your powers? Sorry if it's an awkward question."
"Well, I use electricity.""What like fix wireing, i swear my phone eats battery's like there no tomorrow, can you do any thing about it? " ask Lilith with a mischievous grin.
Neat. My power is to transform into a giant olm.
Neat. My power is to transform into a giant olm.
Enki casually points his index finger towards the ground and a very small, blue bolt of electricity strikes the ground.
"There's a small demonstration."
"Precisely. Though I can make it much bigger than that. Though for the sake of this building, my reputation with you all, and your ears, I'm not going to right now."
"No giant anything after the last time!"Aww, fine.
An olm is a blind, european amphibian that lives in caverns.Neat. My power is to transform into a giant olm.'What's an olm?
"No giant anything after the last time!"Aww, fine.
"Sure, I guess.""No giant anything after the last time!"Aww, fine.
"Bleh. Could we go to the beach or something for you to try it?"
As Enki entered she began to write down her greetings for him
'Hello'
As she noticed Aoi and Erden were also there she showed the same greeting to both of them.
"Sure, I guess."
"I'll join, too."A smile formed on Charlotte's face as she heard those words and she quickly wrote down her reply 'I would love to teach you'"Yes!" Noam does a little bounce in his seat, "When can we start?"
Calvin is."Sure, I guess.""Okay!" Noam immediately beings running to the beach, looking over their shoulder to see if everyone is following.
"The first book."Aoi shrugs at Gregoria before returning to reading her book.
"Hopefully, Grey-san."
"Which one's your favorite?"
"I'll join, too."
"Okay!" Noam immediately beings running to the beach, looking over their shoulder to see if everyone is following.
Aoi......slips the staff onto her back and makes a mental note to have it redecorated, before following Noam.
Aoi......slips the staff onto her back and makes a mental note to have it redecorated, before following Noam.
She arrives at the guidance counselors office again.
The room looks like a high class psychiatrists office.
There's a sleepy looking man at the counter and a Disney movie playing on the TV.
The man suddenly bolts upright.
"You here for a meeting with miss Stacy?"
The man blinks.
"Oh, so you're a psycho. Go right in."
He points to the door and then goes back to looking sleepy.
A nice looking lady is sitting behind a desk. She indicates the chair across from her.
The woman nods.
"So, why don't you tell me what you want to do when you grow up?"
The woman frowns.
"There must be something you feel about it."
"Then why do you want to murder people?"
"And what is the difference?"
"And how do you know that you're killing only murderers?"
"That sounds like something a murderer does."
"Class doesn't mean anything. Murder is murder."
"If we're going to argue this using possibilities then tell me what has happened if, on the off chance it happened, they were all going to see the error of their ways and go on to cure cancer, maybe write a book about why they changed, made it possible for people to be equal. What about those that were going to become better than they were?"
Aoi chills~
Charlotte is chilling with Noam, Aoi and Enki on the beach
"God would say otherwise. I doubt you've been around for ever."
Enki shrugs.
"It hasn't been that long, Noam."
And then runs into Aoi and co!
"Fuckin' Sup?"
"So, how is everyone?"
"Tell me, girl, how many villains have you seen that go that far off the deep end end up turning good?"{I'd say about one in ten of those who get approached with an offer. So basically none.}
"Well, all things considered. Yourself?"
"So, how is everyone?"
"Boooored. What about you?" Noam raises their head and looks at Jacque, "Oh, have we met before? I'm Noam, what's yours?"
"I'm passable. Feeling a bit bored. Jacqueline."
Noam is flopped down on the sand. "Bleh. What is taking him so long?"
And then runs into Aoi and co!
"Fuckin' Sup?"[/glow]
There's a ding from the door.
"It would seem the CITY is open for sport. Have fun."
"We're all bored, but we're bored together!"
There's a ding from the door.
"It would seem the CITY is open for sport. Have fun."
"I'm up for that. How about you all?"
Off to the city!+1
For ADVENTURE!!!
Off to the city!+1
For ADVENTURE!!!
The door to the CITY looks like all the other door. As one opens it and walks in they notice it's really effin' dark.
Jacque grins, grabbing Noam's hand and dashing into the darkness with her/him/them!
FOR ADVENTURE!!!
Jacque suddenly is falling. She's a good way up. Eventually she falls into a pool unharmed.
Everyone else is suddenly in someones backyard in time to watch Jacque hit the water and the sign she stole show up and say 'and that's why you don't steal from god'.
Jacque grins, grabbing Noam's hand and dashing into the darkness with her/him/them!
FOR ADVENTURE!!!
Noam giggles and runs after Jacque. "Do you know where you're going?"
Jacque suddenly is falling. She's a good way up. Eventually she falls into a pool unharmed.
Everyone else is suddenly in someones backyard in time to watch Jacque hit the water and the sign she stole show up and say 'and that's why you don't steal from god'.
"If I do, I get to go swimming! Yoink~!" She grins, stealing the sign again!
Kyle nods and after a bit of thought gives Erden a hammer.
"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this."
It looks like one of those nuke testing neighborhoods. Like in Indiana Jones or CoD.
It looks like one of those nuke testing neighborhoods. Like in Indiana Jones or CoD."I've got a bad feeling about this..."
They may notice that there's a siren in the garden. And some mannequins.((Siren as in "blaring thing" or as in "bird-person"?))
Enki just hangs out near Aoi.
"Don't you find this just slightly disturbing? I mean, with all the mannequins around instead of actual people."
"If I do, I get to go swimming! Yoink~!" She grins, stealing the sign again!
Noam swims up to Jacque, "Are you okay?"
She grins, splashing them.
"Peachy~" Then she climbs out of the pool.
Erden may notice popping sounds coming from the roof of the house behind him.
Noam swims over to the edge of the pool and flops onto the ground, their hoodie and pants soaking wet, "Not really. It's not a real city after all."
Charlotte stepped away from the edge of the pool after seeing Jacque was fine and began to write in her notebook
'It seems odd though to have manikins populating it, wouldn't it make more sense just to leave it empty?'
She chuckles, grinning and putting her arm around then. "Off we go~, for ADVENTURE~~!" EXPLORING TIME!
There is a person on the room. He's turned around holding a rifle.
The rest of the people in the city may notice the last mannequin with a head suddenly loose it. There is a buzzing from the sirens and a cheer from the person on the roof shortly before the sirens begin playing 'Sympathy for the Devil'.
Jacq may notice that the area is strangely empty. And a man with a rifle is on the roof of the house opposite the group.
She grins. "Oh, that looks like fun~"
She stops, skidding, and ducks behind a wall, watching the man.
She grins. "Oh, that looks like fun~"
She stops, skidding, and ducks behind a wall, watching the man.
Noam ducks behind Jacque, "What's happening?"
"Guy on the roof. Sniper rifle. Powerful one, given it seems to remove heads from those mannequins."
"Guy on the roof. Sniper rifle. Powerful one, given it seems to remove heads from those mannequins."
"Oh." Noam sticks his head out, "Which roof?"
"Ground time. Now then, I'm gonna go enjoy myself."
"Guy on the roof. Sniper rifle. Powerful one, given it seems to remove heads from those mannequins."Calvin sends his invisible friend upstairs to screw with the sniper's aim.
The sniper has run off. One may get the notion he's the first boss.
Jacque tries to slit a MOOK'S throat. (56vs.95) The mook proves that mooks can be badass by slipping out of Jacques grasp and (97) punching her in the stomach causing her to be winded.
The mook is distracted by yelling at Noam.
The sniper is long gone.
Enki (120!) calls down a huge gouts of thunder on (113!) all but one of the mooks killing most of them and bring the one Jacque was fighting down to 10 HP! It's really epic.
Charlotte followed everyone else and soon found herself out on the street, she froze as she saw the mooks and that Jacque and Enki were already fighting them. She let out a small and adopted a fighting stance just in time to see the lightning fall down from the sky, it seemed like all but one was dead and thinking that Jacque could probably deal with the last one she simply watched.((One random one was untouched. The one Jacque was fighting is alive but down to 10 HP))
As the untouched MOOK is tripped he starts begging for his life.
The MOOK cowers.
"He killed them all didn't he!? Oh god, my brothers..."
Welp, Jacque is pissed now.
She huffs, flicking her knives like an X across the nearby mook's neck.
The MOOK cowers.
"He killed them all didn't he!? Oh god, my brothers..."
The house looks fairly normal. The fridge is fully stocked and there is a TV as well as a small library.
((One random one was untouched. The one Jacque was fighting is alive but down to 10 HP))
The MOOK looks defiantly at Jacque.
"I am here to fight for my honor. It is clear I have been bested."
The MOOK looks very scared still. He's starting to cry. He gets on the ground.
Welp, Jacque is pissed now.
She huffs, flicking her knives like an X across the nearby mook's neck.
*cough*
Welp, Jacque is pissed now.

The MOOK looks defiantly at Jacque.
"I am here to fight for my honor. It is clear I have been bested. The one firing is the PATRIARCH, he runs our operations."
The MOOK is still blubbering.Welp, Jacque is pissed now.

*cough* *Hack* *cough*The MOOK looks defiantly at Jacque.
"I am here to fight for my honor. It is clear I have been bested. The one firing is the PATRIARCH, he runs our operations."
The milk is drank. How does he do that? Anyways, the rest of the house is pretty much empty. There are some random bits that the requisitions officer could most likely use.
((Who was Jacque talking to then?))The MOOK is still blubbering.Welp, Jacque is pissed now.
She huffs, flicking her knives like an X across the nearby mook's neck.

... THE FUCK IS HE TALKING WITHOUT A WINDPIPE?
OR A NECK?
"Actually allow me to edit my statement: I won't harm you in a severe way."
Enki then shocks the MOOK with only the intention of knocking him unconscious so he can calm the hell down.
((In SHOCK huh?))"Actually allow me to edit my statement: I won't harm you in a severe way."
Enki then shocks the MOOK with only the intention of knocking him unconscious so he can calm the hell down.
Noam looks at Enki in shock, "How could you do something like that?"
"Well, I figure we should take him back to the ACADEMY. And it's easier to carry him this way. Don't worry, it didn't kill him."
"Sorry. It looks more violent than it actually is."
Enki attempts to give Noam a hug, I suppose. He saw the action earlier while observing his classmates, so he thought it would be comforting.
Erden would find that the feeling in his head is back.
<Yeah... that was real. On the other hand only one of them is a psychopath I think. And they're your class mates so... You should go say hi.>
"Sure. Though you have to trust me on things like this."
He gestures to the whole dead MOOKs thing.
"Eventually, you're going to have to, yes."
He nods.
((Who was Jacque talking to then?))The MOOK is still blubbering.Welp, Jacque is pissed now.
She huffs, flicking her knives like an X across the nearby mook's neck.

"I am here to fight for my honor. It is clear I have been bested. The one firing is the PATRIARCH, he runs our operations."
... THE FUCK IS HE TALKING WITHOUT A WINDPIPE?
OR A NECK?
Erden would see that the street holds random dead people, Jacque having a conversation with a dead person, and the other of the group standing around an unconscious person who was just electrocuted.
Enki nods, then stands up fully and puts on his hood.
((Well, you have to talk to the rockman now.))((Who was Jacque talking to then?))The MOOK is still blubbering.Welp, Jacque is pissed now.
She huffs, flicking her knives like an X across the nearby mook's neck.

((The one that isn't dead >:())
"... Wait, you're a... okay, so that's different." She shrugs and fucks off after them after wiping off her knife. ((Current charges: 2))
There are... for dollars and a phone. The phone probably is more useful unless you find a shop... Speaking off a man with a comically large back pack is walking into the cul-de-sac with everyone.

Will still swipes the money, giving half to Noam.
"...Alright?" Calvin pockets all four dollars and investigates the tent.Will still swipes the money, giving half to Noam.Noam looks confused, "Huh? Um... I can't accept this."
She looks behind her.
"Oh fuck, a person. Fucking sup?"
"...Alright?" Calvin pockets all four dollars and investigates the tent.
The man in the non-metaverse is standing behind a counter in the tent.
She looks behind her.
"Oh fuck, a person. Fucking sup?"
Erden looked up sharply. He was surprised that she had noticed him. It seemed that she didn't want to kill him. Which was a good thing. The girl was also vulgar. Which was a not so good thing.
But he was more curious about the small button thing he was holding in the palm in his hand than her now. He could tell it was a device of some sort, but modern technology was not Erden's strongpoint. He twisted in his hand before holding it out to her. "What is this?" He asks.
The man points to the walls that are adorned with various utilies like grappling hooks and candy shanks.
The cell phone is... a Nokia. One of the older ones.

"Cell phone." She takes it, looking it over, turning it on, figuring out what OS it is, brand, model, etc. (KJ, THIS MEANS YOU.)
"Cell phone." She takes it, looking it over, turning it on, figuring out what OS it is, brand, model, etc. (KJ, THIS MEANS YOU.)
Erden frowned and held out his hand for the phone. "If it is dead, then I shall give it a proper burial."
There is a grappling hook, a candy cane shank of the highest quality, a piggy bank, a copper pick axe, a copper short sword, a copper axe, stick anywhere infinite burning torches, and booze.And how much do they cost?
"Cell phone." She takes it, looking it over, turning it on, figuring out what OS it is, brand, model, etc. (KJ, THIS MEANS YOU.)
Erden frowned and held out his hand for the phone. "If it is dead, then I shall give it a proper burial."
"Nah, we just need a charger and it'll be good as new. Just out of power."
"Cell phone." She takes it, looking it over, turning it on, figuring out what OS it is, brand, model, etc. (KJ, THIS MEANS YOU.)
Erden frowned and held out his hand for the phone. "If it is dead, then I shall give it a proper burial."
"Nah, we just need a charger and it'll be good as new. Just out of power."
Erden nodded, then realized that he had not introduced himself yet. How rude of himself. Bowing slightly, he said "I believe that we have not met yet. What is your name?"
"Jacqueline Grey, or Jack."
"Jacqueline Grey, or Jack."
"I am called Erden Kane."
His hand slowly moved up to his side burns stroking them briefly as the tiny gears in his head moved. "Perhaps... Perhaps they would have a charger in the Requisition Room?" Erden asked. He had no clue what a charger was, but perhaps Kyle would be able construct one.
"maybe. Pleasure to meet ya, love. Onward?"
Calvin buys the sword before leaving.
"maybe. Pleasure to meet ya, love. Onward?"
"Onward and upwards. Lead the way. I shall follow." Erden said.
"ONWARD!""AND UPWARDS!" Cried Erden, as he laughed boisterously and cautiously considered the state of his sanity.
"ONWARD!""AND UPWARDS!" Cried Erden, as he laughed boisterously and cautiously considered the state of his sanity.
As they walk away they may notice that the area is mostly wasteland leading to... something in the distance.

TO THE REQUISITION ROOM!
TO GET A NOKIA CHARGER!
... WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T USE MICRO-USB ANYMORE!
As they walk away they may notice that the area is mostly wasteland leading to... something in the distance.
"Hey look, a thing. Let's go poke it!"
As they get closer they slowly realize that THIS is the CITY.
They are looking at a very big city. The buildings get taller the farther in one gets.
They are looking at a very big city. The buildings get taller the farther in one gets.
"That is an excellent question."Calvin buys the sword before leaving.Noam trails after Calvin, swinging their bone club-arm around, "So what are we looking for?"
There is none. However people looking around may feel their eyes drawn to a sign that says 'click your heels three times to go home'.
There is none. However people looking around may feel their eyes drawn to a sign that says 'click your heels three times to go home'.
Noam stares at the sign for a couple moments. "Huh. Do you think that works?"
"Dunno, think we should try?"
Naom is suddenly in their room. Enki is in his room.
Noam is back where she was.
Kyle looks at the small woman.
"Have we... met before?"
Noam waves to everyone, "It really does work!"
'That's good to know' she paused for a second and then began to write some more 'Would you like to explore the city some more or do you want to head back'
Noam smiles, "I think we should explore the city some more, just 'cause we're here."
Charlotte smiled in return, 'Ok then' Charlotte began to walk deeper into the city beckoning Noam to follow
The nurse nods.
((Jack. She's the only one in the req room.))
Noam nods and follows closely behind. "I wonder what we'll find. I bet it'll be something awesome."
It's pretty dark. Soon two mooks approach the two from the darkness.
"Well, look at who just wandered into our hood."
Something says they aren't as pleasant as most people.
'Well it looks like a big city so we'll probably find something interesting'
Regardless, Noam waves with his hand, keeping his club tucked behind his back, "Hello! I'm Noam! What's your name?"
Kyle shakes his head.
"Nope, you're probably better off just trading it in for a bracelet unit."
The other guy seems to light up.
"Well, I'm Jake and this is Tyrone. You two really shouldn't be wandering around by yourselves. Lot's of dangerous guys around you know?"
Enki finds a bank. Will he explore?
Charlotte looked at the hooded figures suspiciously not taking her eyes off them 'It might be best if we get out of here Noam'
The other guy seems to light up.
"Well, I'm Jake and this is Tyrone. You two really shouldn't be wandering around by yourselves. Lot's of dangerous guys around you know?"
It's pretty empty. He does find some bits in the vault though!
(+thirty bits! Spend them at the Req room.)
Kyle nods.
"Mooks generally only have things for side quests and stuff. I'll give you... ten credits for it as well as two Bracelet units."
The two guys wave goodbye.
Charlotte nodded and waved to the two mooks and then began to walk away hoping that Noam would follow her
After they had gotten a good distance away from the two men she began to write in her notebook once more
'You really should be more careful around people you don't know'
"Nah, that's probably your current main quest. Side quests are things that get you money in the city and bits and things."
Enki doesn't find much. It's getting kind of late in the city though.
Noam and Charlotte findlust for each other. They end up going down an alley way and having some fun with Noam's power.Not much. Just a piece of paper and two mooks doing things with each other.
Noam and Charlotte find not much. Just a piece of paper and two mooks doing things with each other.
Noam smiles, "But they weren't all that bad."
Noam and Charlotte find not much. Just a piece of paper and two mooks doing things with each other.
"Greetings, Miss Jacq."
Enki bows slightly.
Well, they seem to be... Oh, that's why they're doing it there.
Charlotte let out a small sigh 'They could have been though, just be more careful around strangers. People can be cruel sometimes'
Charlotte blushed furiously and began to pull Noam away from the sight
It's a blank piece of paper. It's showing the scene they just looking at with better light and closer. They were doing the himleich maneuver.
Noam doesn't say anything, and just keeps on following Charlotte.
Charlotte continued to lead Noam through the city, every now and then she looked at the shape changer wondering what on earth she could write after pulling him away like that. After a few crossed out sentences she let out a sigh and gave up.
Noam speaks up, "So, where are you leading me?"
Charlotte stopped walking and realised that she had no idea where exactly she was going, she had just started walking. 'I don't know'
"I guess we should head back to the ACADEMY, then..."
"Okay. Wanna head back then?"
They all go back to their rooms.
Enki finds a bank. Will he explore?{Wait, what? Look, this is just BS. BS, I say!}
"Fuck you to bitch! Stop adventuring when I start giving hints that I want you to stop for a while!"Calvin keeps searching for adventure. I'm not going to say it's because God told him to stop, but that might have been a factor.
Will takes the bits and teleports away from them.
((GODDAMMIT I MEANT CALVIN.))Will takes the bits and teleports away from them.((... How the hell does Will keep getting over here?))
"Eh. It's hard to be around someone who has electricity flying off of their body half of the time.""I don't find it hard."
Speaking of which, some blue electricity is tracing around his body, occasionally flying off and ceasing to exist.
Then the nurse.
"Alright. Thank you. I'll visit him later to try to calm him down slightly."
"You haven't been exposed to me that long."((Hehe.))
Enki shrugs.
"I doubt I would. I have seen worse."((*Snort*))
Erden happens upon two MOOKs who are looking rather embarrassed that he found them... Not wait. They're paying attention to the thugs who are equally embarrassed that someone happened upon them while gardening.
((One is female and they're both blushing and not crispy but yeah. They look similar.))
((One is female and they're both blushing and not crispy but yeah. They look similar.))
Erden cracks his knuckles and approaches the MOOKS. The gardeners can wait. They too will have their turn with Erden later. "Good evening, lady and gentleman. I was wondering if you would help me find someone."
"I apologize for all that... killing. It wasn't exactly intended for that to be so strong. My powers are sorta unstable in strength..."
((Just wait for the plot twist involving what James really is.))((You think that stops the shippers?))
The two look around panicked. For that matter so do the thugs.
"Look. I don't know what you need with him but you should be able to find him wherever the mannequins don't have heads. He has a thing about that."
She approaches, and requests the GM describe what this situation is!Two panicked MOOKs that got caught doing things by a group of thugs that run the spice trade and are gardening with Erden now.
((Not even death can stop the shipping :p))James smiles as well.
A smile blossomed onto Charlotte's face
'That sounds great'
Enki takes a close look at the writing."It is only a skill I honed."
"You're a rather good writer, Miss Aoi."
The street thugs clap in an impressed manner. One of the pats Erden on the back.
"This'l increase yeilds a good bit! Here have some bits, you earned them."
The thug hand Erden a bag of bits. It feels like it's fifty of them.

"This'l increase yeilds a good bit! Here have some bits, you earned them."
The thug hand Erden a bag of bits. It feels like it's fifty of them.
Erden laughed with a smile, holding his hand out in rejection."Thank you for your generosity, but I must refuse. However... With a swift moment, he brandishes the spade in front him, staring it at lovingly. "I must admit that I have become quite enamored with this shovel. It speaks to me. Would you be fine if I were to keep it?"
The head thug shrugs and says sure.
The head thug shrugs and says sure.
"Thank you friend. My name is Erden Kane. If you should ever need my aid, do not be afraid to call upon me."
With a quick swing, the spade landed upon his shoulder blades once more with a satisfying thunk. The connection between him and this shovel was strong. It had called out to him. The spade had spoke of the years of its prime. It was used by the father of a young family, who tended the garden to help keep vegetables on the table for his seven wives and children. But woe, woe! One day, the family was shattered, and the shovel lost. Only years later it would it reappear in the hands of a certain thug, once more being plied to the trades of the land in a pitiful garden in the City. But now it had a new life. It was the spade of Erden Kane.
And lo, Erden was pleased by this. What also pleased him, was that the Lady Jack had made a reappearance. He approached her with an equal level of swagger. "Greetings friend." He said. "Were you able to discover anything about the cellphone?"
"Apparently there isn't a single Nokia charger in the entire ACADEMY."
"Apparently there isn't a single Nokia charger in the entire ACADEMY."
Erden frowned. "Disappointing. We will find a different way to make it talk yet." Erden looked up towards the sky. It was beginning to turn shades of red and orange. Soon it would be nighttime. Bringing his head back down, he addressed Jacque. "It is becoming late. I am looking for a man, but the search can wait until I have eaten and slept. If you would like, I could use a hand finding him tomorrow."

"sounds fun."
He's in the women's locker room for a brief enough time to know where he is before being returned to his room.
Aoi....is sitting across from Erden and presumably near Enki.
A fox drops a note in front of Noam. It's asking her to come to the Ward.
Noam quickly finds the medical ward.
The nurse directs it to the MOOK.
The MOOK holds out his arms for a hug.
There is smoke coming from the door to the rec room.Aoi's eyes widen as she walks in to see what's going on.
The MOOK holds out his arms for a hug.
The MOOK begins blabbering about how he swears fealty to Noam and such.
The mook continues blubbering.
The mook starts to calm down.
The MOOK NODS.
"Terms of service..."
"I am honor bound to serve you."
As it turns out one of the servers is an amazon. On the other hand she winks at Erden instead of acting violent.
The MOOK mumbles something about his honor sadly.
Enki closes his journal for now and goes to the Mess Hall to eat. Once there, he attempts to wake up Lizzy.At first, Lizzy just... grabs onto Enki, draping her arms over them for a moment, and then somewhat opens her eyes. She appears to be very groggy, at least.
"Far from morning... What's your name?""Oh, really...? Wellll.... The name's Elizabeth Calipso... Pleased to meet ya."
Erden may notice as he leaves that the Amazon looks somewhat disappointed. He when he gets to the Rec room he'll see Aoi and the woman.
The woman looks around.
"Mister Johnson had some business at home to attend to. What? You thought his wives didn't get lonely now and again?"
((Should we timeskip to the next morning, perhaps? I mean, seeing as nothing is really happening anyways.))
The night drew on long, and Erden quickly realized that he needed the most important meal of the day. Breakfast. Spade in hand, he marched off towards the Mess Hall, his eyes watching closely for Amazons.
The MOOK is sticking around Noam having been cleared to leave the ward.
Enki sits with Noam, eating a very simple breakfast of bread and water.
Enki finishes his food slowly before talking.
"No clue. I assume some sort of training."
The Amazon waves to Erden as he gets his lunch.
((Mind if I sig this?))The Amazon waves to Erden as he gets his lunch.
Now the Amazons were committing themselves to arm waving exercises. Erden politely acknowledged her presence by nodding, then turned away promptly to eat his food. Amazons.
"Perhaps we'll be out in the city again. Perhaps we'll be testing our powers on dummies. No clue."
((Mind if I sig this?))The Amazon waves to Erden as he gets his lunch.
Now the Amazons were committing themselves to arm waving exercises. Erden politely acknowledged her presence by nodding, then turned away promptly to eat his food. Amazons.
"Yet you don't know how to use them professionally. I believe that is the point of this academy, is it not?"
"Well, presumably to fight villains."
"If only it were that easy, Noam."
Poor Noam... She's going to have to fight eventually. It's inevitable.
Enki smiles at her.
"I wonder when a representative will come inform us of what we will be doing..."
"That'd be ideal."
Enki stands up, walking off to go find Kyle.
The MOOK follows Noam.
Kyle is sleeping in the rec room.
Kyle suddenly snaps awake and blasts the two back with air. He seems to be reaching for something on his belt before he goes back to regular posture.
"Sorry."
Kyle looks around before going under the counter.
He comes up again after a while.
"Well, you have a power gauging test today and then you can do what you want."
"Eh, you just beat up some volunteers. Really unless you haven't fought in the city or done anything with your powers you just have to a few things."
"Well, big G will call you up if you haven't used your powers on the grounds. Then you get to beat up his head enforcer."
"Then you don't have to do anything. Trust me, God's academic curriculum is like a free scholarship. So long as you're smart enough you automatically pass. Really. He does know what you know.""Well, big G will call you up if you haven't used your powers on the grounds. Then you get to beat up his head enforcer."
"Oh. But I've been using my powers a lot and stuff!"
"Sounds fun, I guess?""It is."
"Then you don't have to do anything. Trust me, God's academic curriculum is like a free scholarship. So long as you're smart enough you automatically pass. Really. He does know what you know."
Having ate a hearty breakfast, Erden was prepared to face the day. Which was easier than facing some other things. The day was one thing you could be certain in. The mountains you could be sure in. People here are not quite so steady. Upon reflection, Erden found himself rapidly becoming unsteady on an hourly basis. But he would push on regardless. He had to make his father proud after all.
Leaving the Mess Hall, he made his way to the Rec Room. With a little luck, Kyle would be in this morning.
Lizzy has totally been in the Mess hall with the others this entire time, yes.
She listens to this discussion of a power testing thing.
"Uh... I've sorta been using my powers in my room... so... Yeah. I'm also not really sure what I could do in terms of... beating... someone... up."
"Yes.""Then you don't have to do anything. Trust me, God's academic curriculum is like a free scholarship. So long as you're smart enough you automatically pass. Really. He does know what you know."
"Oh. Does this mean God knows what I do late at night?"
"I look forward to presenting my powers to God. Though, more likely than not, that would be unnecessary.""Most likely given I heard it in here."

People here are not quite so steady. Upon reflection, Erden found himself rapidly becoming unsteady on an hourly basis. But he would push on regardless. He had to make his father proud after all."You wanted me?"
Leaving the Mess Hall, he made his way to the Rec Room. With a little luck, Kyle would be in this morning.
Lizzy has totally been in the Mess hall with the others this entire time, yes."Kay."
She listens to this discussion of a power testing thing.
"Uh... I've sorta been using my powers in my room... so... Yeah. I'm also not really sure what I could do in terms of... beating... someone... up."
"Yes."
Noam waves at Erden, "Hello!"
"You wanted me?"
Erden gave a confused glance. Who was this person? He could not shake the feeling that they had met, if only briefly. His name was no... Knome? Gnome. Gnome! That was his name! He straightened his back to full height, resting his hand on the shovel handle while the blade rested on the tiles. "Greetings Gnome. I trust you are well?"
"Yep! Today's going to be an awesome day, I can feel it! How about you? Are things going to be awesome for you too?"
"If that is what the earth wills, then yes." Erden said with a nod of affirmation. Gnome seemed a bit excitable.
"No. God says it's perfectly natural... And the weirdest fucking thing he's ever seen."
"You heard that lightning strike from here? Huh."
Kyle shrugs.
"If it can work for Yorik... I'll take a whack at it."
"Power testing?"
"Yeah, I thought the big guy was having a flashback to the Abrahamic days.""You heard that lightning strike from here? Huh."
Kyle takes the shovel and bits and goes under the desk.
He comes back up with a newly sharpened and slightly bluish tinged version of the shovel.
"Bit of diamond alloy in the metal bits... which is practically all of it. Over the old of course should you want me to revert it for whatever reason. On the other hand I don't owe you change due to how hard it is to get the diamond alloy."
Erden grimaced. This child's bloodlust was surprising. But the test was sure to be interesting. Whether he would he would be able use them well or not depended on a number of factors. First, he would need to be in an environment that supported Geomancy. Then it would require him to be in a certain frame of mind. Emotions were the key to using Geomancy. Tone when speaking to the earth was important. Actions made out of anger could be devastating to both him and anyone around him. Fortunately, he was confident in his ability to remain a level head in battle. He responded with a smile. "If I must use my powers, then I shall.
"For the most part only graduates and..."
Kyle shudders.
Janitors are very consistent in their power."
Kyle nods to Erden before turning to Noam.
"You've never seen them clean up the city. Well, I know that Janitors can punch through a three foot cube of adamantine with a little bit of effort."
Erden grimaced. This child's bloodlust was surprising. But the test was sure to be interesting. Whether he would he would be able use them well or not depended on a number of factors.

Fortunately, he was confident in his ability to remain a level head in battle. He responded with a smile. "If I must use my powers, then I shall.
Noam looks at Erden, "What's the matter?"
Kyle shakes his head.
Chuckling, Erden slings the shovel upon his shoulder. "Ah... It is nothing. Just thinking."
Chuckling, Erden slings the shovel upon his shoulder. "Ah... It is nothing. Just thinking."
"Okay, that's cool. What were you thinking about?"
Erden shot the Gnome a look of vague annoyance. Thoughts were things to be kept in one heads. Proclaiming them out to the world without any sort of filter was defeating the purpose. Still, if he insisted. "My powers. That is what I was thinking about."
"Oh, okay! I think about my powers a lot too, though it's mostly about how I'm going to use them!"
"Really?" Erden said in a slightly demeaning manner, as one might speak to a child. "And just what is your power?
"I can change my body around and stuff! It's really neat and fun! Do you want to see?"
Erden began to rub his sideburns with an amused look on his face. "Why not... Show me what you can do Gnome."
"Sure thing. Uh... Give me a minute." One of Noam's pantlegs slowly deflates, while the other expands. After a while, Noam slithers out of the pants, their lower torso having been replaced with a giant's snake's tail, covered with iridescent purple scales. "See? Neat, huh?"
This actually caused Erden to raise an eyebrow. Gnome wasn't bluffing. "Quite an unnatural power... How did you come across the ability to shape shift?"
Noam shrugs, "I dunno. I could do it as long as I could remember, since I was really, really young. Like, before I even went to school and stuff."
Erden closed his eyes, beginning to think on the subject. "Perhaps it is in your blood then?"
Noam shrugs with their snake-tail, "Maybe? I dunno, neither of my parents can change like me."
"A strange matter indeed..." Erden muttered, becoming lost in his thoughts. His own powers were certainly endowed by birth. Erden's father was a geomancer as well. However, Erden rightfully considered himself a pale reflection of his father. His father was a veritable titan, more than capable of collapsing a mountain into itself, and rending the earth itself in two when angered. A giant among giants...
Noam slithers up to Erden, "Yep. I don't mind though, they're too fun to worry about!"
"True words..." Erden sighed. And they were. Perhaps sometimes it was simply best not to worry too much about these sort of matters. Besides, he had a test to prepare for. Which was at... Erden scratched his head and turned to Gnome. "Just where is this power test being held?"
Charlotte smiled as James said thatJames did in fact follow.
'Cool' she then headed towards the mess hall hoping that James would follow after her.
She ends up in the gardens. Because I am on a phone at the moment and writting big things is tough.
((Yeah, don't hold your breath on that.))
When she saw Noam enter she waved up towards him and nodded.
Aoi waves to Noam.
"Hello, Noam-san."
*If you want. I merely use it out of habit.*
Noam slithers over to the three, "What's going on?"
She then signalled back to James to translate for her
'We're just eating at the moment' she let out a small sigh 'I'm sorry about what happened yesterday'
James translates before posing the question himself.
Enki waves at Aoi and Charlotte.
"All is well. Disappointed at not being able to go to the city."
"They posted a sign saying only those with strong minds should be the only ones to enter due to monsters."
James shrugs.
"It's probably nothing."
"I'll accompany you if you choose to depart."
James smiles to them.
"Hope you like musical numbers."
James smiles.
"Don't worry."
Enki shrugs.
"Whenever."
"Huh? Sorry about what? What was there to be sorry about?"
'I pulled you along yesterday and a little bit later I realised I didn't have a good reason to, I'm sorry'
Noam still looks kinda confused, "That's okay! I don't mind."
James smiles at Charlotte.
"And miss the chance to hang around with a lovely woman like you? Hardly."
Charlotte looks relieved 'Thank you'
James follows Charlotte.
The city... looks exactly the same as it was. Although there do seem to be some new items in buildings.
Enki looks around, staying near Noam.
Aoi stays near Noam, monks spade at the ready.
Now then. I need everyone to roll a will check.
Noam suddenly freezes with a look of terror on her face. The others in the party notice a cheery looking woman in the notebook's place.
"I just love when I get to be creative."
Noam is going to be petrifyed with fear for... 15 more posts.
((I'll probably get that then. Then again, southwest London isn't the best place to get RPG crap.
Also, Cado is clearly manipulating the RNG. We established this.))
The notepad rolls her eyes.
"Anyway your friend should be fine soon."
Lizzy looked from the odd beings, back to Noam, and just knelt down to help them up.
"Noam, it's okay. You're safe..."
Aoi just gives Noam a light but comforting hug.
((Watch don't hug me I'm scared and the sequel.))
The notepad walks over to Noam and crouches next to her snapping in her face for a couple moments.
The notebook suddenly turns back to, just that, a notebook causing the blows to miss.
The clock sighs and takes on a human form to give the two an incredulous look.
Tony looks annoyed.
"IF YOU WILL JUST SIT STILL SHE'S GOING TO FIX IT!"
The notebook begins rolling after her. Yes it is a weird thing to see.
"Can I fix you now?"
Tony looks at the pistol in surprise before loudly mehing.
(58) Charlotte manages to not get her eardrums damaged but it's still fucking loud.
(58) Surprisingly It's just as loud to Lizzy.
Noam isn't affected.
Elizabeth winces at the loud MEH noises.
"Those two were weird. You okay, Noam? You seemed pretty scared by those guys."
Charlotte went and covered her ears as the sound echoed through the air, when the sound stopped ringing through her head the things were gone. She looked at around and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Noam was moving, she rushed forward and hugged it.
James pulls his hand out of his pocket and looks around.
"That was a fun little distraction."
James blinks.Lizzy gives a brief sigh.
"Fun fact. Not even god understands where things like them come from. On the other hand if you look hard enough here you can even find pokemon so it all evens out."
Noam hugs back, wrapping its tail around Charlotte. Its scales are hard but smooth instead of rough.
James blinks.
"Fun fact. Not even god understands where things like them come from. On the other hand if you look hard enough here you can even find pokemon so it all evens out."
James pulls his hand out of his pocket and looks around.
"That was a fun little distraction."
Charlotte released Noam and smiled at them, she would have let the hug last longer but she needed her hands to speak.
"Humans beat gods. Repeatedly. If they didn't how would atheists get away with not believing in god?"
Noam slowly uncoils from around Charlotte's legs, "So what are we doing now?"
James raises his eyebrow.
"When did I say god was the one not smiting them? There are others. Which is why he made humans more and more resistant to their influences... Until the powers thing. Then they could defend themselves."
James raises his eyebrow.
"When did I say god was the one not smiting them? There are others. Which is why he made humans more and more resistant to their influences... Until the powers thing. Then they could defend themselves."
James turns to Noam.
"Now? Nothing. Also unrelated, my father would probably find that look very attracted if it weren't for you age."
"Sorry I'm late. What did I miss?"
James shrugs.
"A doll and a talking clock and notepad."
"Ah. What's going on?"
((What does Noam look like now?))
((What does Noam look like now?))
"Ah. What's going on?"
Noam... slowly uncurls from its ball, having changed quite a bit durings its time curled up. Its entire body is covered in the same purple and iridescent scales as its tail, and Noam's hands have wicked-looking claws. Noam's eyes are also bright yellow now, with a slit pupil like a reptile.
"Good, I didn't miss anything. Love the new look, by the way.""Ah. What's going on?""Nothing, really."((What does Noam look like now?))((Snake person, basically. Snake tail for a lower body, covered in purple scales, silts for iris, etc.))
"My dad has a thing about transhuman things. It's really weird."
James coughs looking away.
James looks around.
"Well, we could go out and beat things up. Look for Excaliber. Or if we're feeling up to the challenge, we could try and find some of the other human made monsters/things."
"Good, I didn't miss anything. Love the new look, by the way."
"What makes you say that?"
"It reminds me of an enchidna."
"I'd like to see what you can look like if you did try.""What makes you say that?""Because I didn't put a lot of effort into it and stuff. I can look a lot better than this!"
"I'd like to see what you can look like if you did try."
Enki finds small woodland animals to train his wrestling on.Enki trains his wrestling!
Noam happens upon Enki.
"Nothing."
Enki shrugs.
TheyHappen upon a clearing of small woodland creatures. Would they like to wrestle?Find a spider. Well, a spider woman. She skitters away leaving behind strong webbing.
"How much?""I'd like to see what you can look like if you did try.""Really? Um... I'd need lots of time to prepare."
Noam goes off in search of adventure! Or a reply from Calvin.He follows.
She has skittered off. Do you want to collect the webbing?Yes.
"How much?"
Enki tries following the spider woman? Only if the others are willing.
"I'm interested to see what you'd consider good if you consider this...not good.""How much?""Like... A lot! Why?"
Calvin is stuck to the web slightly. He should be wondering why he felt that collecting spider web that's proportionate to him is a good plan. On the other hand if he does find a way to get it he'll have really good armor.He teleports away, considers the problem, and attempts to cut it off with his sword.
"I'm interested to see what you'd consider good if you consider this...not good."
He teleports away, considers the problem, and attempts to cut it off with his sword.
How long has he had a sword?Um...ever since he bought two from that random shopkeeper in town?
"Sure?""I'm interested to see what you'd consider good if you consider this...not good.""Okay! When we get back home, of course!"He teleports away, considers the problem, and attempts to cut it off with his sword."Need some help?"
"Sure?"
No. She doesn't. Maybe if they had something sharp and strong. Maybe they'll find it around."Sure?"
Noam nods and wraps the web into a ball, having changed its hands to not stick to the web. "There we go!"
No. She doesn't. Maybe if they had something sharp and strong.Like a sword?
No. She doesn't. Maybe if they had something sharp and strong. Maybe they'll find it around.
Gold or higher... Just kidding. You need a good bit more... bits.No. She doesn't. Maybe if they had something sharp and strong.Like a sword?
Someone walks into the garden. It's the amazon from before. She's looking around slightly awkwardly.
Noam happens upon the library.
((Sure why not.))
(54) Erden manages to keep calm and begin to walk over her.
The amazon notices Erden and begins blushing. Erden might notice that she's holding bouquet of flowers.
There is a book that is rather small and holds images of birds of prey and other fearsome animals. Like humans.
The Amazon opens her mouth bit then pauses and closes it again. She blushes more as she holds out the flowers to Erden.((Sure why not.))
(54) Erden manages to keep calm and begin to walk over her.
The amazon notices Erden and begins blushing. Erden might notice that she's holding bouquet of flowers.
Erden's heart beats faster as he approaches the Amazon. Blasted hearts. They always threatened to betray him when he needed composure most. Taking deep breaths, he closed in on the Amazon and saw that she was... Brandishing flowers? He could not help but laugh to himself. "Erden... You craven coward." He thought.
Once he was a few a few feet away, his resolve began to shake. Why did she flowers? Why did she come to this garden? Has the Amazon come to garden also? He shook his head gently; it was too late for questioning such things now. Once he was within speaking distance he called out, his voice wavering only the slightest bit. "Hello." Erden said, bowing slightly in his usual way.
It's a book full of tips for shapeshifters. Noam has learned how to make webclippers. She also has learned how to copy the most common super power. For both genders.There is a book that is rather small and holds images of birds of prey and other fearsome animals. Like humans.
Noam takes the book to a nearby table, and starts pouring through its pages.
It's a book full of tips for shapeshifters. Noam has learned how to make webclippers. She also has learned how to copy the most common super power. For both genders.
As it wanders around they notice a book on a table. It says 'fifty shades of grey'.
They next find... a game room. How did they end up there?
There are several people playing games in here.
Games are played. It's rather nice.
The Amazon looks like she is about to say something before posing kneeling down where she was told.
Enki chills in the common room.
((Sorry, I did have a joke had you read the other book but you didn't))Enki chills in the common room.
Noam heads to the common room as well, because blah.
The Amazon looks at Erden before finally speaking.The Amazon looks like she is about to say something before posing kneeling down where she was told.
Erden took the Amazonian woman's silence as a vote of confidence and smiled. "It's really quite simple." He took a clump of earth into his hand, massaging it smoothly with his fingers. "Soil is the lifeblood of all life. It contains the lifeblood upon which all living things subsist upon. A good soil promotes great fruit, while a barren soil without life remains barren. The soil here in the garden is good, which is why the plants here are so beautiful, like..." He trailed off, trying to think of the right word to say.
The Amazon looks at Erden before finally speaking.
"L-like you?"
((Sorry, I did have a joke had you read the other book but you didn't))
It's a book full of various colors of grey and how one can color things to them in any situation.
"Hello, Noam-san."It's a book full of various colors of grey and how one can color things to them in any situation.
USEC_OFFICER is disappointed by Kj's joke.
Noam goes over to Aoi and waves hello.
"Hello, Noam-san."
((I never said it was good.))
The Amazon starts playing with her fingers.
"I... I'd prefer you though. You seem to be one of the strongest bravest men I've ever met."
"Something important. How are you, Noam-san?"
"I am well, Noam-san. Are you recovered from yesterday?"
Aoi smiles a bit.
"Good to hear."
"So what have you been doing?"
"I'm Arya."
"Interesting. What did you learn, Noam-san?""So what have you been doing?"
"Reading and stuff. There was a book in the library that taught my a lot of things about how I can use my powers!"
"Interesting. What did you learn, Noam-san?"
Aoi nodded.
"No... you would always leave before I could for some reason.""In all fairness, the first time my head was smarting from the blows your friends." Erden said making an attempt at humor. "You are all quite intimidating sometimes."
"I would think so. Anything you want to do, Noam-san?"
Arya continues playing with her fingers. She is probably aware of that fact.
"My wishes are not important here, Noam-san. I do not mind whatever you want to do."
Aoi shrugged.
"I do not see why not."
Aoi walks there.
"So....how do we play...catch?"
She shakes her head.
"I...see. Is this what you did for sport?"She shakes her head.
Noam gasps, "That's horrible! Don't worry, catch is really simple! You take a ball, and we pass it between each other, and have lots of fun!"
"I...see. Is this what you did for sport?"
"I see."
She nods.
Aoi....catches it. Woo.
"Am I doing it right, Noam-san?"
She does. Surprisingly good aim too.
Jacque decides to go find people.
She does. Surprisingly good aim too.
Noam catches the ball and smiles before tossing it back, not as nicely as Aoi though.Jacque decides to go find people.
((Noam is people! Sorta...))
Jacque finds Noam and Aoi then. she watches them play catch.
Jacque finds Noam and Aoi then. she watches them play catch.
Noam waves happily at Jacques, "Hello! Wanna join?"
Arya nods.Arya continues playing with her fingers. She is probably aware of that fact.
Making note of the awkward silence, Erden continues on. "It is not wise to fall in love so quickly, especially when you do know fully know the other whom you have affections for. However..." He took a deep breath.
"If it is the first step, I would not mind to get to know you and your people further."
Charlotte was still in town with James wondering what she should do, after a while of thinking she decided."I believe reqcrisitions would have something.
'James, do you know where I could get a weapon?'
"Hello, Jacque-san."
She catches it clumsily.
"Um... sure."
Arya nods.
"I don't see why not."
"I believe requisitions would have something.
Arya nods.
"Have you thought of maybe a long gun or something? I think they hand out muskets or blunderbusses for free."
Arya thinks for a moment.
"Meet me in the neighboorhood outside the city."
James smirks.
"Then I'll start you on a blunderbuss."
Jacque catches the ball, grinning before throwing it to Noam with... perhaps a bit more force than necessary.
Enki looks up from his notebook at the game of catch.
He wonders what the significance of this game really is.
Arya nods before walking off.
James shrugs.
"I'm down for leaving if you are."
Enki nods at Noam.
"Why not?"Enki nods at Noam.Noam smiles, Wanna join?""
"Why not?"
Enki shakes his head politely.
"Fine. Been keeping myself busy.""Why not?""Oh, hi Calvin! How are you doing?"
"Fine. Been keeping myself busy."
"Oh...nothing much.""Fine. Been keeping myself busy.""Yeah? With what? I've been kinda busy too, learning about my powers and stuff!"
"That's ideal.""How are you?"
Enki smiles.
"Oh...nothing much."
"Sure.""Oh...nothing much.""Okay! Wanna play catch or something?"
"Sure."
He does."Sure.""Okay!" Noam tosses the red, plastic ball at Calvin, "Catch!"
He does.
((Silly Elf :P ))((What? Everything about Enki and Aoi's interaction indicate that he totally wants to tap that. :P ))
"I'm not sure what dragged me to start recording things. It seemed 'fun,' though."
A call echos through the school.
"If Erden would please enter another door at his earliest convinece, God would like to meet him."
"Finally..." Erden said, rising from the dirt. Grabbing his shovel, he strode out of the garden to go to... Just where was he going?
When Erden enters the door he finds himself in a mountain range with god.
"Ah. Hello Erden. I would like you to do the bighest possible thing with your power you can. Don't worry, your powers have been amplified to make sure it works."
Aoi nods and sits back down. She is noticeably quieter than usual.
"I am fine, Noam-san, Enki-kun."
"It is an issue I can handle."
"It is a private matter."
She nods to both of them.
"I understand, Enki-kun, Noam....kun."
"I am making sure your power works as it was made. Now if you would please do something... big."
((Can I get a quick description of where everyone is before I make an entrance?))
Charlotte is in the Rec room with a incubus.
Calvin, Enki, Noam, and Aoi would begin hearing a thumping noise, along with a quiet, but slowly getting louder, giggling squeal.
Down a hallway, the noise seems to be coming from around the corner. The giggling is getting louder and vibrations can be felt in the floor and walls.
Noam almost gets hit in the face as a blurred ball(?) bounces off a wall and goes right past her head, pinballing against the walls behind her but slowly slowing down.
After a minute or two, the ball stops and is now still. And its not a ball at all! A little furry face pokes out of a green dress, huge eyes staring up at Noam as the little girl, no more than 5 years old, stands up on her paws and waves at her.
"HI!" The little girl looks incredibly happy.
"I Meme! How ares you?" Meme seems a little crosseyed right now and stumbly... though she could just be dizzy.
"I no hurt! It fun! You want see?" Meme curls up so Noam can throw her.
Meme goes up! As she falls, she giggles happily as she hits the ground and then bounces right back up into the air! This happens several times before she stops and gets up, giggling happily.
God blinks.
"Well, I suppose I should have just corrected his erroneous thinking that he still needed a test then..."
God gives earth a friendly smile and a wave.
"Yeah. If you need transport I'll be sure to send someone to pick you up."

This happens several times before she stops and gets up, giggling happily.Lizzy, who I'm pretty sure has been in the garden this entire time since she wandered around for a bit, Squees with joy over how GOSH DARN ADORABLE that looks.
((And now I go.))
Lizzy, who I'm pretty sure has been in the garden this entire time since she wandered around for a bit, Squees with joy over how GOSH DARN ADORABLE that looks.
"Yep! Hehe!" Meme smiles up at her.Meme goes up! As she falls, she giggles happily as she hits the ground and then bounces right back up into the air! This happens several times before she stops and gets up, giggling happily.
Noam giggles along with Meme, "That looks like a lot of fun!"
"Yep! Hehe!" Meme smiles up at her.
"YEA!" Meme hugs Noam happily!"Yep! Hehe!" Meme smiles up at her.
"Um... Do you wanna be my friend, Meme?"
Lizzy giggles a bit in return, nodding, and then turns to the adorable fluffball herself, and waves excitedly.Lizzy, who I'm pretty sure has been in the garden this entire time since she wandered around for a bit, Squees with joy over how GOSH DARN ADORABLE that looks.
Noam giggles happily, "She's so cute, isn't she?"
"YEA!" Meme hugs Noam happily!
Meme giggles at this."YEA!" Meme hugs Noam happily!
"Yay!" Noam hugs Meme back, its snake tail wrapping around her comfortably.
"I Meme! How you?"
Meme giggles and tries to tickle Noam.
Meme giggles and tries to tickle Noam.Lizzy giggles herself, and goes to glomp those two adorable people.
Lizzy giggles herself, and goes to glomp those two adorable people.
"EEEEEEEEE! YOU TWO ARE SOO CYOOOOOT!"
Meme laughs happily as she gets hugged and tickled.
Erden lumbered through the garden door lurching and his head. He assumed more or less that the earth was taking him in the right direction towards Gnome but he couldn't be certain. High-pitched giggling was the first thing that greeted his ears. He dared not pass through the threshold. "Gnome, you in here?"
Noam call out, its softer than before yep, "Yep! What is it?"
Erden rubbed his eyes a little bit, trying to make out where he was. "I had a test. Don't believe what they've been saying about it."
Erden rubbed his eyes a little bit, trying to make out where he was. "I had a test. Don't believe what they've been saying about it."
"Huh? Oh, they said I didn't have to do the test because I've already been using my powers and stuff! Why? Did something happen?"
Erden shrugged. "I didn't know you used your powers at some point. But yes. The test nearly wiped me out. But I must have fought valiantly as I passed it."
"Oh, awesome! Congratulations on passing! Did you have fun? What was it like?"
His brow furrowed. "To the first question. No. To the second, I don't remember. But I am tired."
"Oh. You should rest then! It's getting kinda late, isn't it?"
"Is it?" Erden asked, looking around for any indication of the time.
((It's just around noon I think))
((That is what James said to me when we went to the city))
"Okay!" Meme smiles happily.
Meme giggles excitedly.
Elizabeth, still sort of dazed from the cyootness, follows to the Mess Hall."Okay!" Meme smiles happily.
Noam smiles and picks Meme up in its arms, hugging her and giggling as it slithers to the Mess Hall.
Elizabeth, still sort of dazed from the cyootness, follows to the Mess Hall.
"I wike fish!"Meme giggles excitedly.
Noam sits Meme down in a chair, "Um... What do you want to eat?"
Lizzy thinks for a moment, trying to decide.Elizabeth, still sort of dazed from the cyootness, follows to the Mess Hall.
Noam waves happily at Elizabeth, "What'cha getting to eat?"
"I wike fish!"
Lizzy thinks for a moment, trying to decide.
"Hmm... I'm thinking maybe Pizza?"
"Tank you!" Meme grins and digs into her food.
Calvin does, giving her a funny look.He does.Noam smiles, "Nice catch! Now throw it back!"
Calvin wanders into the cafeteria.
"Hi, Noam. Is this your little sister?"
Arya is sitting near a fence off to the side of the the cul-de-sac.
Arya looks towards him in surprise.
"I-it's fine. I just came here after I talked with you out of habit."
She nods.
"The amazons send new sword sisters here as a final test."
"Aw, she's adorable."Calvin wanders into the cafeteria."Nope, I just met her! But she's really cute and adorable and soft and fuzzy!" Noam smiles at Meme and wraps its tail around her lightly.
"Hi, Noam. Is this your little sister?"
"HI! Who you?" Meme waves happily, snuggling the tail."Hi, I'm Calvin, Noam's friend."
Noam starts fidgeting a bit, waiting for Calvin to say something.
Noam starts fidgeting a bit, waiting for Calvin to say something.((RotMG.))
"Aw, she's adorable."
Arya nods.
"Oh, that's a pity."
Arya gives Erdan a look.
"You do know why they call us Amazonians right?"
"We live in the Amazon rainforest for most of our lives."
"HI! How you be?" Meme giggles happily."I'm great! How are you?"
((Hell if I know.))"Aw, she's adorable.""Yep!" Noam gives Meme a gentle squeeze, "Um... What are you doing, Calvin?"
Arya gives Erden a confused look.
"It's like... a tropical forest that happens to trap the stuff of clouds so well it makes it rain a lot."
((Hell if I know.))
"Yeah, that sounds good."((Hell if I know.))"Um... What do you wanna do then? Oh, I was going to show off how nice I could look like to you, wasn't I?"
"Yeah, that sounds good."
Arya sighs.
"It's hot and muddy and full of bugs and everyone wears chest bindings and thongs covered only by a loincloth."
"Nice."
"Iunno. You got any ideas?""Nice."Noam giggles a bit, "Thank you! So... What do you want to do now?"
"Iunno. You got any ideas?"
"Sounds fun."
Calvin does indeed follow.
Arya senses that she might have freaked him out or something so she changes topics.
"What do you like to do for fun!?"
It looks like all of them are there. All of them.
Except for the people. It is oddly empty right now.
James looks away.
"It's... instant seduction of a chosen target..."
Arya nods clearly interested.
Noam is off being Noam somewhere, obviously.Aoi is somewhere contemplating. Woo.
Noam may or may not be looking for Aoi, to talk to.Noam is off being Noam somewhere, obviously.Aoi is somewhere contemplating. Woo.
Enki chills in the Common Room. He looks up to see if anyone is around.
The happy sunflower is being happy.
((Well it is an anthropomorphic sunflower styled after the sunflower from PVZ))
Enki nods at Noam.
((Plants versus Zombies.))((Well it is an anthropomorphic sunflower styled after the sunflower from PVZ))
((... Wat? Explain. What's PVZ?))
"Reading. Yourself?"
((Plants versus Zombies.))
"The Canterbury Tales."
"Well, it's a collection of stories told mostly in verse. I haven't quite read that far. I just started."
Enki nods.
"It is fine, Noam."
Arya claps a little before going over to Erden and steadying him.
"You are an impressive story teller. If a little more energetic than you can handle."
Arya chuckles as well.
"That reminds me of the time the head scholar knocked her self out during the history lesson."
Arya sits down as well.
"Daria. Her name was Daria."
The spider lady is sleeping in her web.
James shrugs.
"It was so-so. I do know how to make a killer plate of pasta so I think it was fullfilling."
The spiderwoman looks like an anthropomorphic crab spider. She is quite large.
"Is there anything you would like to do?""Anything you want to do?"
The spiderwoman looks like... sure.
The spider woman immeafietly wakes up and hisses at Noam.
The spidereoman climbs higher in her web glaring at Noam.
Arya nods.
The spiderlady stays in her web glaring at Noam.
The Spiderwoman just sit there glaring.
She's still glaring. One would get the feeling that there is a language gap here.
The spiderwoman gets a bit less tense but doesn't respond.
The woman steps back a step.
The spider woman looks skeptical before repeating back in a harsh hissing tone,
"Noooaaam."
James gives her a look.
"What do you think the CITY is for? You have regular classes, which if I you don't mind me saying are rather good about the teaching, for regular knowledge. What, you think you came here just for your powers? You need marketable skills beyond those."
The lady looks confused.
"M-monster?"
The lady continues to look confused.
"Spiderlady? Monster? Real pretty thing?"
The spiderlady is still confused.
"Name?"
The spiderlady makes a noise of confusion.
Really pretty lady tilts her head.
The spider lady steps forward as well.
The spiderlady looks nervous.
The spiderlady just stares at the hand.
"You like... Tobias?"
She shakes her head.
((What?))
The spider lady looks like she's thinking hard.
"He... Stud.... Ent."
She looks at the offending hand.
She nods.
She nods.
"Where Tobias?"
She looks like she wants to agree but she looks over to a ball of silk in the corner.
She nods.
It's about the size of Noam's torso.
The lady puts it on her thorax.
((That is the big bit right?))
The two looking for Tobias find nothing. Really pretty lady is saddened by this.
RPL nods sadly.
The first person she ask looks at her.
"Actually I am him."
He looks confused.
"Last I saw her she was calling herself Monster..."
Erden finds nothing except a spent bullet casing. It's the wrong caliber.
He frowns.
"She shouldn't remember me thought."
Tobias looks sad.
"I... I can't. Not after what I did."
"I... I slept with her and then left her... I just can't bear the thought that she may have hated me so I panicked and... My power..."
"It... ends things. Makes things that distress me go away..."
He grimaces.
"I nearly killed her!"
The Tobias sighs.
"I didn't mean to do it! I couldn't control it I just..."
Tobias is dragged.
"If you would please put your shovel out of my general direction..."
She has gone back to the web. Tobias' eyes widen in recognition.
Tobias is about to apologize before Monster runs up and hugs him. He hugs back closing his eyes.
"Well, sir, I don't go to this school, but go to the Academy. Now, the shovel.."
Monster whispers something into Tobias' ear. Whatever it was must have been surprising and good because it causes him to smile and pick the drider up and swing her around before setting her down and kissing her.
"I prefer the name Enki, rather than 'boy.' Anyways, I consider myself a hero in the way that I do not have any 'evil' intentions, such as killing individuals for no reason."
The Sniper walks over and flicks Enki's nose.
"Oi! I'm evil and I don't kill without reason."
She finds the group of men.
She finds the group of men.
"ME!"
They both find the group of men shouting...
They both find the group of men shouting...
"YOU!"
They both find the group of men shouting...
"YOU!"
The sniper shrugs.
"I don't know."
The sniper shrugs.
"He started yelling. Anyways, I'm Mundy. I'm the designated villain."
He shrugs.
"I wanted to."
The sniper shrugs.
"He started yelling. Anyways, I'm Mundy. I'm the designated villain."
(84VS90) Mundy ducks under the knife.
(73vs89) The bolt misses.
(you don't wanna know) Erden is covered in jarate. Ew.
(84VS90) Mundy ducks under the knife.
(73vs89) The bolt misses.
(you don't wanna know) Erden is covered in jarate. Ew.
He sends another!
(84VS90) Mundy ducks under the knife.
(73vs89) The bolt misses.
(you don't wanna know) Erden is covered in jarate. Ew.
Erden twitches with seething anger. Mundy would rue the day. Oh he would rue the day. The day would be filled to the brim with rue. Piss. He turns to his allies, shaking.
"You have all failed me."
"Sorry..." Noam looks down, their eyes tearing up.
(77vs121!) He grabs the knife out of the air and tosses it into a bush before he runs out of sight."FUK U 2!!"
He arrivies to this conclusion. It's candy blood.
Enki calmly walks in the direction that the Sniper fled.
It requests that he use it. And a lawyer.
Erden turns around and spots Jacque. The sight of a familiar friends face calms him down somewhat, despite the ever present smell of piss on his favorite Tunic of Holding.
He closes his eyes and thinks happy thoughts. "Hello Jacque."
"Sap, Erdn, U mad bro?"
"Sap, Erdn, U mad bro?"
Erden's blood pressure soars to new heights. Luckily, he resists the urge to a cause bodily harm to one of the few friends he had. He clenches his eyes shut. "Mark my words now, I will have revenge against that man."
Unable to control his rage, he storms through the front door of the abandoned High School and begins to search it top to bottom. He wasn't leaving empty handed.
He finds a shotgun! ... How?
Jacque is a bit more insane than usual at the moment. she sings a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0) as she follows Erdan
((Erden is now in the mood to acknowledge presences! :D))
((Erden is now in the mood to acknowledge presences! :D))
In that case, Noam skitters over to Erden, smiling slightly, "Hello."
"Greetings spider thing." Erden says. At this point his mind had shut down logic. He smelt like piss and probably looked like it too.
He finds a shotgun! ... How?
Erden takes the shotgun and asks no questions. It fit his mood his unstable mood perfectly.Jacque is a bit more insane than usual at the moment. she sings a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0) as she follows Erdan
Erden's blood pressure lowers. Never stop rolling Ricky.
The search combined with Jacque's music had calmed the raging beast inside of Erden. A pure white hot rage still burned on deep in his heart, but he would worry about that later. For now he sat down on the steps of the abandoned high school and wracked his brain over this matter.
"Greetings spider thing." Erden says. At this point his mind had shut down logic. He smelt like piss and probably looked like it too.
"What'cha thinking about?"
Finishing her first song, ONWARD! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfqN1BXlJwQ)(WARNING: PROJECK SHOULD NOT CLICK THIS :P)
"Piss." Erden said, his tongue forking out like a snakes. "You are Gnome, correct?"
"Oh." Noam pats Erden's shoulder comfortably, "Yep, I'm Noam."
((Enki should have a total of 80 overall. He got 30 before and now 50 from the metal.))((It is.))
Some of the Jarate gets on Noam's hand as a result. But Erden appreciates the gesture regardless. He plaintively pulls his head out of his knees and looks up at Noam. "If I had acted out of anger earlier, forgive me. Passions of emotions have a tendency to effect my people negatively..."
"It's okay. Everybody gets angry sometimes." Noam gives Erden a hug, unconcerned about the piss.
Noam now most definitely smells of piss and should consider a shower. As Erden quickly realized, he also was in desperate need of a shower. As such he stood up and resumed his towering figure. "Thank you Noam. You are a good man. Do not forget it."
Jacque Continues si- (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45lB-fyB87Y)... HOW DOES HER VOICE EVEN DO THAT‽
Noam now most definitely smells of piss and should consider a shower. As Erden quickly realized, he also was in desperate need of a shower. As such he stood up and resumed his towering figure. "Thank you Noam. You are a good man. Do not forget it."
"Thank you." Noam smiles up at Erden.
Erden nodded and then tapped his shoes thrice.
They arrive in the communal showers. With the amazons. Just kidding. Even if they were there they wouldn't care since, you know, communal.
They arrive in the communal showers. With the amazons. Just kidding. Even if they were there they wouldn't care since, you know, communal.
He finds a bathroom.
It has a shower. It is an actual bathroom.
There is only girly soap in the shower.
He is now an amazon. Really. If he reads the labels it will say that happens. On the other hand it doesn't really affect him much and will wear off in about an hour.
It also smells like (insert favorite bodywash smell here).
Yes... It's also somewhat ironic.It also smells like (insert favorite bodywash smell here).
...Lavender Rainforest?
Enki crouches in front of her.She shrugs.
"Why do I deserve this?"
He is now an amazon. Really. If he reads the labels it will say that happens. On the other hand it doesn't really affect him much and will wear off in about an hour....
Noam is currently wandering the academy, back in humanoid form, looking for something to do. Having liberally used the Lavender Rainforest bodywash, Noam is also female right now, so you'll all be correct if you keep referring to Noam as she. Lazy bums.((Calvin, at least, assumes Noam is female regardless of what form she's in. Anyways, we don't want to keep calling her "it"... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItISDehumanizing)))
"Hey, Noam. Nice body."
((Calvin, at least, assumes Noam is female regardless of what form she's in. Anyways, we don't want to keep calling her "it"... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ItISDehumanizing)))
((Jayzus Calvin is pretty flirty.))
"Not much. Exploring, stuff like that."
"Sure, why not?""Not much. Exploring, stuff like that.""Okay! Can I join you then? Please~?" Noam smiles at Calvin.
((Firstly, that I of all people am working on a plot and secondly that your character is flirtier than kj's.))((Ah.))
Aoi is possibly near Calvin and Noam. I dunno.The three of them look for that locked, forbidden room on the third floor.
"Sure, why not?"
The three of them look for that locked, forbidden room on the third floor.
Tobias walks by the three looking somewhat confused.
There is a sinister giggling and screams of pain and horror intermixed with death rattles of men and women alike.
It's coming from the locked door.
"If no one knows how to pick locks, we don't have much choice..."
Aoi shakes her head.
"....that does not sound good."
"Sounds good.""If no one knows how to pick locks, we don't have much choice...""Well I don't, so we should go and find more fun things!"
"Sounds good."
Erdenetta stood confusedly before the small ones at the door way holding the shotgun. This wasn't where she could find ammo. She turns to another girl with a quizzical expression, but says nothing, instead keeping one eye on the now unlocked door.
Aoi slings her monk's spade over her shoulder and into a battle stance.
An angry looking man and a man that's laughing incessently are standing there.
"Weren't you ever told not to barg in on people?"
She finds the common room. Because I'm lazy.
"Greetings Lady Charlotte"
Enki stands up and bows, before sitting again.
Noam waves at Enki and Charlotte, "Hello! What's going on?"
Charlotte continued to smile and waved towards Noam and noted that she was now female.
'Hello Noam, nothing much. I see you've changed bodies again though
Charlotte looked up curiously at Noam
'That's an odd thing for soap to do'
Charlotte imagined the serious man as a woman and giggled silently
'I can't imagine he was too happy about that'
"I prefer to be as formal as possible to friends."
Enki smiles at Charlotte.
"Hello Noam."
He nods.
Aoi walks to her dorm, shuts and locks the door behind her, not noticing Meme, who gets a faceful of door.Meme bounces off the door comically. Shes still confused and knocks on the door.
Aoi doesn't answer.Meme tries again.
"I prefer to be as formal as possible to friends."
Enki smiles at Charlotte.
Noam shrugs, "I dunno. He seemed okay with it. Or at least he didn't say anything about it."
Charlotte nodded he hadn't really seemed the type to complain about stuff, she paused for a moment before continuing.
'Noam I've been wondering, what gender would you like me to refer to you as?'
No answering, but if Meme pokes her ear closer, she can hear a faint conversation.Meme does so.
"Huh?"
"My pleasure, Lady Charlotte."
Enki nods.
Meme keeps listening, and is now controlled by an Elf until @Cado can post again.Meme....wanders off to do stuff! Woo!
'Well as you can change forms, you aren't really one gender or the other. So I was wondering if you would like me to say he or she when talking about you, well not exactly talking but you know what I mean.'
"I do try... If you'll excuse me, I must attend to something in my dorm room."
Enki bows.
"Lady Charlotte, Noam. Always a pleasure seeing you."
"I do try... If you'll excuse me, I must attend to something in my dorm room."
Enki bows.
"Lady Charlotte, Noam. Always a pleasure seeing you."
He goes off towards his dorm room.
"Oh. I don't mind, really!"
She nodded
'Ok then' she paused for a moment before asking her next question 'Have you been enjoying the academy so far?'
"It's been lot of and stuff so far! I got to meet lots of new friends, and run around a lot, and I even helped a spiderlady find her bodyfriend! I dunno why they call it an academy though. What about you? Have you been having lots of fun?"
Her smile brightened
'I'm glad you're having fun, I've enjoyed most of it so far it's been good to meet new friends. There's been a couple of rough patches but it's been good'
Enki goes to his room and puts a few things away, and moves some other objects. He exits his room before sensing the electricity from Aoi's phone. He decides to wait.The conversation is still muffled.
Noam beams at Charlotte, "Okay! I'm glad you're making lots of friends too! And if you ever need my help I'll be there, because we're friends and I know you'd do the same for me, 'cause that's what friends do." Noam suddenly gives Charlotte a hug.
Charlotte returned the hug and nodded, she would protect Noam no matter what.
Enki puts his ear against the door."Yes....but...I do....I understand the importance of the Futaba name but....."
Noam eventually breaks off the hug, "Um... Oh! When are you going to teach me sign language?"
Charlotte let out a small gasp
'Oh I had almost forgot, we could start now if you like'
James walks into the common room and sits in a chair.
"Okay!" Noam flops down in a nearby chair and waits for Charlotte to start.
She begins to write the finger-spelling alphabet in her notebook
"I am not suggesting that it will fix your situation. But it will help knowing that there is someone there for you that understands."Aoi looks down.
Kyle is googling Aoi.
Enki sighs, going to google Aoi and her family.Enki firstly finds small bits pertaining to Aoi as a exemplar student of various prestigious academies around the nation, barely staying for more than a year, year and a half.
With James' help Charlotte continued to teach Noam the finger-spelling alphabet
A smile broke onto Charlotte's face as she saw Noam form the name, she paused her teaching for a moment and wrote something down.
'You're doing well'
Enki is leaning on a wall at the firing range. He does a small clap.
"Good shot, sir."
A quick succesion of shots tear around the head of Erden's target. Mundy laughs and runs away.
Charlotte's smile brightened as she heard both of their comments
'Thank you, you've been a great partner and you've been a great student'
Charlotte's hand went up to the cheek where he had kissed her, pausing for a moment. Not entirely sure what to say she turned to Noam notebook in hand.
'We could learn a bit more if you wanted to, it gets a bit more difficult from now on though with memorising signs for specific words'
'That's good, it shouldn't be too much trouble if you put your all in to it. We'll learn some simple words to start with'
Charlotte begins to teach Noam how to sign the days of the week
Mister Johnson is outside still."Hello, Johnson-san."
James corrects Noam's corrects Noam's signs when she is off.
Enki carefully lays onto his bed. His thoughts drifted to Aoi crying. It hurt him to see his girlfriend in emotional pain.(FTFY)
Charlotte has Noam keep going over the days until she is sure that Noam has learnt them all.
Kyle crosses an arm.".....you must understand, Johnson-san. My family is important to me. They housed me, bathed me, and protected me, so is it not right I attempt to preserve their.....fortune?"
"You're a student are you not? That makes this a matter of security of the students. Not to mention the civil rights violations."
James let's Charlotte continue while occasionally signing dirty words while she looks away.
James let's Charlotte continue while occasionally signing dirty words while she looks away.
Charlotte frowns slightly as she sees Noam perform the signs.
'Where did you learn those signs?'
Kyle gives her a look.She looks down.
"They also are pushing you into something you obviously don't want to do. You have every right to tell them to shove it."
Charlotte turned around towards James and frowned at him
'Don't teach rude words to her' she then turned back to Noam 'They're swear words, it's best not to sign them to people'
"Ah, but here's the great thing about a wallstreet contract, you can sign it without a parent approval.""I would not risk harming my family's honor."
Noam gasps, "Oh! I didn't know! Um... Can you forgive me? Please?"
James is trying not to giggle.
"Sorry, I always had a tough time resisting that type of thing."
Charlotte felt a smile come onto her face
'You don't need to apologise you didn't know what they meant, just do your best to avoid it in the future'
Kyle sighs again."Ah, but here's the great thing about a wallstreet contract, you can sign it without a parent approval.""I would not risk harming my family's honor."
"Sorry honey."Noam gasps, "Oh! I didn't know! Um... Can you forgive me? Please?"
Charlotte felt a smile come onto her face
'You don't need to apologise you didn't know what they meant, just do your best to avoid it in the future'James is trying not to giggle.
"Sorry, I always had a tough time resisting that type of thing."
She let out a small sigh
'Ok, just try to avoid in the future I don't want her accidentally offending anyone'
"Sorry honey."
Noam nods, "Okay. I'll do my best then!"
'Good, what signs would you like to learn next?'
"I dunno. What about the signs for animals?"
Charlotte nodded
'Any animals in particular or shall we just dive into the simple ones?'
"Just the simples ones."
Charlotte smiled at Noam
'Ok then, lets start with the sign for cat' she shows Noam the sign and then goes onto show her other simple animals
Noam picks up the signs for the different animals pretty quickly, for obvious reasons.
She paused from her teaching for a second to write something
'You're doing really well Noam'
James does the signs for 'I need to go to the bathroom behind Charlotte.
Noam nods, "Thank you!"
'I'm glad you're so willing to learn, many people wouldn't have been as patient with me'
"Huh? Really? Why not? I think you're a great teacher!"
Charlotte smiled
'Thank you, it's more because many people wouldn't want to learn a language just to talk to me rather than my teaching ability though'
"Oh. That's kinda silly, don't you think? Why wouldn't somebody want to talk with you?"
*I agree, Charlotte-tan.*
Aoi signs back.
*I was busy settling some....affairs.**I agree, Charlotte-tan.*
Aoi signs back.
Charlotte looked towards Aoi as she spotted her and smiled. She then signed towards her
'Hello Aoi, I didn't notice you there.'
Charlotte let out a small sigh
'Sometimes people just lose patience, I can't really blame them. I've been really lucky here though meeting all of you, it's good to have people to talk to again'
*I was busy settling some....affairs.*
*I was busy settling some....affairs.*
"Oh. Well, I'm glad to have met you too!"
"Personal affairs. It is nothing."
She nods.
'That's true, they should start soon though. James said they might even start later today'Aoi nods.
Frustrated with his current state of life, Erden was returning to his room. It was going to take some time before he could consider himself good enough to take on Mundy. He passes a girl lying passed out in her doorway. Indeed Mundy was going to be a tough foe, and-The video does not seem to make any sort of sense. Just, a bunch of chaotic images tied together, somehow.
Wait. Erden turns around. Why was this girl collapsed in her doorway? Immediately his reactions kicked in and he dashed over. Perhaps she was unwell or sick. Given the environment of the school he would not doubt that something ill had happened to this girl either. As a student of this school and as a peer however, he needed to see if she was alright. He bent down, holding his hand over her. But, she at least seemed to be breathing normally. He could tell this as she was snoring rather noisily.
As he inspected the girl however, his eyes turned to the laptop that was laying next to her. His eyes turned to the video on the screen impulsively. Curiosity had gotten the best of him.
((I'm back! ...Though I have to go do something in a few hours. What did I miss and is Meme anywhere?))
Aoi nods.
The video does not seem to make any sort of sense. Just, a bunch of chaotic images tied together, somehow.
She seems to feature in all of it, too.
Meme sees Aoi again! She wanders over to look up at her curiously.
Erden does note of this fact with some note of alarm. Out of curiosity, he reopens the laptop lid to see whether her sleep has any effect on her computer.The video is still playing, it seems. But the brightness does seem to fluctuate alongside the other lights in the room.

All the typing seems to do is… make the text appear on screen. The Video continues playing, a bit faster, and the fluctuations happening at a faster rate as well.Erden does note of this fact with some note of alarm.

But the brightness does seem to fluctuate alongside the other lights in the room.
His eyes narrowed. The situation was beginning to unnerve Erden. There was something off. Erden wanted the video gone.He began to tinker with the laptop, mainly attempting to get rid of the video with his limited knowledge of computers.
"I am fine."
She nods."I am fine."
'If you're sure but if you are ever in trouble you can tell us ok, that's what friends are for after all'
All the typing seems to do is… make the text appear on screen. The Video continues playing, a bit faster, and the fluctuations happening at a faster rate as well.
James smirks.
"I can think of something fun we can do together.
James smirks.
'Well, I could us a bottle of something nice, find a nice room to lay out in...'
James makes it more and more obvious he's describing a date as he goes on.
James rolls his eyes.
'I was making a flirty joke about going on a date. Anyways, a beach party does sound fun now that I think on it.'
'I knew what you meant but a beach party does sound good' she then stops signing and goes back to writing 'Does a beach party sound good to all of you?'
'Great, shall we get going then?' she stood up and began to head towards the door
James follows.
"You guys will be okay if I remove my disguise magic right?"
James follows.
"You guys will be okay if I remove my disguise magic right?"
[!1!+13] ((GOD DAMNIT CADO))
Surprisingly enough, what you're doing seems to be… slowing it down. No wait, it's speeding up. No… No… It's just fluctuating from faster to slower and back again and again, becoming more and more erratic.
Until it just… stops. No error message, or anything, just a blank black screen. It does seem to be lit up, however. Just… blank.
James nods. Soon he looks less like the typical nerd and starts looking... hot.
James shrugs.
"It gets harder to control myself. And I'mjust still under some effects that hide the more freaky bits. And the tattoos."
She's… fine, actually. Her pulse seems a bit faster, now. She at least seems to be stirring, a bit, now.[!1!+13] ((GOD DAMNIT CADO))

Until it just… stops. No error message, or anything, just a blank black screen. It does seem to be lit up, however. Just… blank.
Erden begins to panic as the program begins to freak out, and immediately turns to the girl, placing a hand to check her pulse.
James scratches the back of his back.
"Horns. And the wings. Perfectly symmetrical face. I'd add my tail but I actually don't disguise it."
James scratches the back of his back.
"Horns. And the wings. Perfectly symmetrical face. I'd add my tail but I actually don't disguise it."
She's… fine, actually. Her pulse seems a bit faster, now. She at least seems to be stirring, a bit, now.
James shrugs.
"Have you seen a fully human Johnson?"
Elizabeth just shifts a bit in her sleep, and then yawns, before drowsily just propping herself up. The Laptop continues having a blank screen.She's… fine, actually. Her pulse seems a bit faster, now. She at least seems to be stirring, a bit, now.
Erden releases a sigh of relief. It seems that whatever he had done didn't end up killing her. He stared at the laptop menacingly, having a new, vastly more negative opinion of the device. If he was wise, he would simply be done with the device and would smashed it to bits a long time ago. Taking his hand, he nudges her in an attempt to wake her up.
Elizabeth just shifts a bit in her sleep, and then yawns, before drowsily just propping herself up. The Laptop continues having a blank screen.
"Wha… What's going on..? Uh… why are you in my room?"
"My mum's a succubus."
They are already there.
Noam immediately rushes forward and flops down on the sand.
"My mum's a succubus."
They are already there.
Elizabeth yawned, considering this.Elizabeth just shifts a bit in her sleep, and then yawns, before drowsily just propping herself up. The Laptop continues having a blank screen.
"Wha… What's going on..? Uh… why are you in my room?"
"You collapsed." Erden said, his voice and face betraying his nervousness. He rose up, placing his palm upon her laptop. "Your computer is cursed. It was doing... Something. I do not know what, but it forced you to sleep."
He shook his head. "I would consider getting rid of it."
Charlotte flops down onto the sand next to Noam
Elizabeth yawned, considering this.
"Hmm… Let's see… I fell asleep… And my computer seems cursed? Huh."
She focuses for a moment, and then seems to go blank faced in a way. As in all outward signs of emotion fade from her face, and… A stylized version of her head appears on the screen. It looks kinda cartoony, really.
/"OOoooh, this feels cool!"/ The voice coming from the speakers seems a bit techy, or at least more… electrified.
/"So… Uh.. what do you think?"/
/"Heheh! This is what I can do! All this weird stuff with tech? That's me!"/
She chuckles a bit, and then disappears from the screen. And then activity returns to her own body. She looks very, very excited.
"So.. what now, huh?"
Noam is lying face-down in the sand, though she doesn't seem to mind.
Charlotte looked curiously at Noam and signed something to James so he could translate.
'Can you breathe like that?'
James looks at Noam as well while taking a sip of his drink.
"... HOW ARE YOU BREATHING LIKE THAT?"
"With my lungs." Noam starts giggling.
James glares at her back before begining to poke it.

James looks confused.
James looks up.
"But I haven't figured out how she's breathing."
'Well Noam can create extra mouths so maybe she could breathe that way'
James nods before going back to sitting and drinking.
James nods.
"It also makes me kind of compulsively go after people I find attractive. The more I find attractive in them the worse it gets."
James takes a long swig.
"It's surprisingly easy. Of course monogamy is an oddly absent trait on all sides of my lineage."
James scoots closer to Charlotte.
A frown crossed Lizzy's face, still looking at Erden./"Heheh! This is what I can do! All this weird stuff with tech? That's me!"/
She chuckles a bit, and then disappears from the screen. And then activity returns to her own body. She looks very, very excited.
"So.. what now, huh?"
"You stop. It's not natural." Said Erden, as visual alarm settled on his face. Her calm demeanor was unsettling, especially when she was not waking up earlier. It sent shivers down his spine. "I do not know what happened to you... But it was not normal."
James smiles as well.
"I suppose that's true."
Janes scoots a little closer.
A frown crossed Lizzy's face, still looking at Erden./"Heheh! This is what I can do! All this weird stuff with tech? That's me!"/

"But… But… If I can't do that, I've really got no reason to be here.."
She simply smiles, and then proceeds to extend her own hand towards him.A frown crossed Lizzy's face, still looking at Erden./"Heheh! This is what I can do! All this weird stuff with tech? That's me!"/

"But… But… If I can't do that, I've really got no reason to be here.."
Erden shifted uncomfortably as the pieces of the puzzle come together. Her abilities were not natural. But they were her powers. There wasn't much that she could do about it. It would be parallel to someone asking him to not be in contact with the earth. His eyes closed tightly. "If that is what you must do then by all means keep working at it. But... Please be careful. I was frightened when you would not wake up. You must be more careful."
His head shook as he sighed. "My deepest apologies. I am afraid that we have not met. My name is Erden Kane. I am a student here." He said, extending his large hand to the girl.
James seeing she hasn't made any indication that she is uncomfortable scoots right next to her.
She simply smiles, and then proceeds to extend her own hand towards him.
"Nice to meet you too, Erden! My name's Elizabeth. Elizabeth Calipso. So… What now? Like for example… What can you do?"
This person seemed nice, to her. Not sure why. Maybe it was just a bit of appreciation for the guy who apparently tried to help her, and had gotten a bit scared for his trouble. Maybe it was nothing. It didn't matter, really.
'Anything in particular you want?'"No, thank you."
She then headed back towards the group with a smile on her face, as she walked past Noam she put the shape-shifter's drink next to where she was lying.
Enki gets bored and is confused as to where everyone is at. He goes to the beach room. Oh hey, there they were.
He does a small wave.
"Greetings."
"I don't believe it would be smart of me to swim."
"I am sure it is, though electricity and water do not mix well. And my eye.."
Enki's face goes deadpan.
"You are not to blame, Noam. It is alright."
Enki sits in the sand.
Charlotte spent a minute getting a drink at the bar for herself Noam and Aoi. She then headed back towards the group with a smile on her face, as she walked past Noam she put the shape-shifter's drink next to where she was lying. She then headed back towards Aoi and gave her the drink, Charlotte then placed her own drink on the ground so her hands were free again.She nods.
'It's apple juice, I hope that's ok'
She nods.
"It is fine, Charlotte-chan."
Enki nods at Aoi, but avoids eye contact.Aoi avoids eye contact, as if ashamed.
Elizabeth considers what she should do for a bit, before just getting up, picking up her Laptop, and going out in search of something interesting.
Elizabeth finds the timeskip.Woot! I found a timeskip!
It is now the next day, the drunk incubus may caused weirdness. Who knows.
Noam heads to class, I guess.As does Lizzy.
((Waiting on one person and... I kind of meant for you guys to interact. Otherwise there isn't a real reason to mention classes.))((Ohhh... I personally was assuming something was going to happen from you, so... Yeah, sorry about that))
It's the necronomicon. How did he......
The necronomicon doesn't do anything. God gives her a look.
"It's just a book."
Lizzy shrugs, and just watches Noam do whatever they're going to do.The necronomicon doesn't do anything. God gives her a look.
"It's just a book."
Noam flops out of their chair to take a look at the book.
Lizzy shrugs, and just watches Noam do whatever they're going to do.
It seems to be an erotic novel on the inside. The first page says it is written by a mister Kyle Johnson.
"... Kyle wrote the mortal version."
Yep. It seems to actually be multiple short stories about various undead and seems to be targeted to both men and women.
God blinks at her.
"Kids..."
The GM pokes the thread given that he knows at least one player was on recently and might still be.
Should I skip classes in the future?
Which would be the reason I made note that it was a break time. But you know no one seems to actually care about this anymore.
((Good. I am to. And I'm sure Arya would hate to see him leave.))
Kyle winces at what Erden picks up and walks over to the younger man.
"Do you have troubles with maths?"
"They're in an arranged marriage. She can't split it up."
Mr. Johnson begins tutoring Erden on math.
"You are aware that you seem to be placed ahead of your grade level?"
Mr. Johnson points out looking over the tome.
Mr. Johnson nods to Enki and subtly points to the contract.
"Baiting you? Don't be so prideful. I'd rather punch you and then explain myself to my employer later. Although... my name and apperance is classified information on all major planets so I may have to... rectify that."
He smirks.
((If I may interecede... I don't think Deus Ex Machina is a good way to proceed. Let us wait for Projeck on this matter.))((I imagine God to be more of a trickster mentor; He'd probably only pull Aoi out of it if He thought that nobody else could.
Enki just scoffs. After he leaves, he walks over to sit with Aoi.She's clearly nearly in tears, but she's holding out. She sighs, leaning into Enki.
"I hope I did not make matters worse."
"Generally the harasser get's hurt in some form before we need to do things about it."
Mr. Johnson thinks.
"Well, I know that her grandfather doesn't want this to happen, and that she's looking for an out. And that guy is definitely not a super anything. Well, a super dick maybe..."
In the meantime, he looked about the room to see who was there.
James nods to Charlotte before begining the lesson.
Much note taking.Wow, such learning. So educate.
Before Lizzie can get to far however, Erden places his hand upon her shoulder with as much gentleness as his large hands can muster. Pulling aside her, he walks with her down the hallway. His face is a bit somber, worried perhaps. "Still with the device I see." he says, gesturing to the laptop.She nods to him a bit.
She nods to him a bit.
"Yeah.. It hasn't been acting up at all, though. I'm pretty sure it's safe.. Besides, I'm not sure what it'd be able to do to me. Maybe squeeze part of my fingers with the disk tray? Pft... That'd be ridiculous... So, are you doing okay?"
