[center][b]Summary:[/b] Zivon and Andromeda have a heart-to-heart while Matt and Margaret have a heart-to-heart...but only Margaret knows it's a heart-to-heart. Meanwhile, the Krashy hype train quietly leaves the station.[/center]

[i][u] - Crash - [/i][/u]
Crash sighed loudly, still looking unimpressed as she walked over to him he watched her hand reach for the dart his eyes momentarily crossing before he flinched as the dart released his skin with a thunk noise, he lifted a hand and rubbed at the red disc now present on his forehead. He looked up at Kathy smiling at her comment despite himself, beside he couldn’t not smile back at her. “Thanks...” Crash said. “Although I don’t think I’m cut out for archery” He grinned, he still hadn’t moved from where he had fallen, he briefly closed his eyes and huffed his hair out of his face. “Kathy...” He murmured, opening his eyes and blinking up at her, color tinting the tops of his cheeks as he sat up and turned to face her, his hand seeking out the back of his neck automatically. “C-can I ask you something?” He stammered, casting his gaze to her feet for a moment.

[u][i] - Kathy - [/i][/u]
Kathy couldn't help but let out another laugh at the clear red disk in the middle of his forehead. "Hmm... Guess not." Watching Crash huff his hair out of his face, she raised a hand up and poked gently right in the centre of the circle. "Looks like you ended up marking another target over there." She withdrew her hand after noticing the slight flush in his cheeks, wondering what the question could be about. "Of course... What is it?"

[i][u] - Matt - [/u][/i]
Matt was awoken from his confusion by someone reaching out and touching him on the head. He turned around, confused, to see a girl with orange hair blindly touching his hair.
"May I help you?" he asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

[u][i]Margaret[/i][/u]
The girl stared into the red color, for it seemed to turn toward her. Red. She felt warm. Warm. She promised herself to remember warm.

Margaret heard a voice speak, but she had yet to have a language pack installed within her mind. So the girl simply opened her mouth a little, rubbing the red color a little more. It felt nice. And warm. Warm. She liked "warm..."

The girl softly leaned to the red color closer, leaving her and the color within a close proximity. She liked "warm."

[i][u] - Crash - [/i][/u]
Crash’s lip curled up into a smile as she laughed, he felt her poke the mark on his forehead gently, by this point his pulse had quickened. He lifted a hand to his forehead as she withdrew her own, rubbing at the mark on his forehead before dropping his hand lifting his eyes to meet hers which didn’t help his situation. “Would you...” He started though he trailed off, glancing around them at the archery range. “...come with me for a moment?” He finished, though there was slight disappointment in his expression but he was able to wipe it away with a quick smile before he continued. “I could really do with something for these bruises but I’d rather have some company...I mean I don’t want to drag you away I...just thought if you...” He stumbled over his words. [i]...that was...pathetic[/i] He got to his feet brushing himself down before sheepishly grinning at her his cheeks were still a little flushed.

[u][i] - Kathy-[/u][/i]
"Hm?" Kathy looked a little confused. For the amount of colour in his cheeks and the strange amount of hesitation, his request was an easy thing for her to fulfill. "That's alright with me." She laughed, feeling a little relieved it wasn't anything too serious. She held her hand out to him, brushing her fingers on his wrist. This time she also got a slight flush of colour in her cheeks as she explained, "You know... So you don't trip." Clearing her throat as she tried not to look too embarrassed she continued, "Let's put away all the equipment then?" She glanced over at Carmen, wondering what she would do but it seemed that she was still talking to Lily. [i]'Should be fine then.'[/i] She thought, though she gave the musician a small wave to indicate she was leaving if she managed to catch Carmen's eye.

[i][u] - Crash [/i][/u]
Crash looked relieved when she agreed to go with him, he gave her an appreciative smile blinking as she held her hand out towards him, feeling her fingertips brush his wrist his face lit up in recognition though he found the slight flush of color in her cheeks made his smile widen. “Probably wise” He grinned at her. “Once we’ve put the equipment away, I should be ok from here to there honest” He tried to assure her as he swooped down to grab his bow which had taken a tumble along with him moments before, he flinched as Koop flew over with his quiver of sucker darts passing them to him. Waiting for Kathy he made his way over to the equipment stand pulling off his bracer and glove and returning them to their places before doing the same with the rest of his equipment, the colourful blush still stained his cheeks, he waited for Kathy to put her equipment back his hand resting on the back of his neck as he glanced around saluting in a friendly manner if Carmen looked in their direction. He waited for Kathy before making his way to the exit. “Hey, thanks for this” Crash murmured to her, he chewed his lip looking distracted as he held the door open for her.

[u][i] - Kathy - [/u][/i]
Nodding, Kathy momentarily stepped away from Crash so she could put away all the equipment in their proper place. If she caught the eyes of Mercy or anyone, she gave them a quick wave and nod of the head to indicate that she was leaving. Finishing cleaning up, she went to where Crash was at the exit. "No problem." Giving him a smile, she stepped through the door and turned back around to wait for him. Tilting her head to the side she told him, "It's not really a big deal though. Feel free to ask me for bigger favours sometimes too." She smiled. In some senses she actually hoped he would rely on her more often instead of hesitating to ask about even seemingly-minor matters such as these ones. "So? Where are you going to treat these bruises?" Normally she would have assumed they were headed towards the infirmary but... Past experiences seemed to dictate that Crash might've had another place in mind

[i][u] - Andromeda - [/u][/i]
Andromeda didn't know what to do, she just seemed to be making the situation worse, so she decided to try a tactic her dad taught her, he used it hen she was scared.
she leaned down in front of the boy, she gently put a hand out to him "i'm sorry i frightened you, Zivon, are you ok?" she realized he was avoiding both her's and Leroy's eyes. she looked up at Leroy and mouthed 'sorry, give me a minute' so he wouldn't think she was ignoring him. she looked back at Zivon, not looking at his eyes wouldn't do much good as Zivon couldn't actually see her eyes through the sunglasses, thank god. she wasn't sure what else to do as Zivon's actions reminded her a lot of a frightened bunny she had seen once, the bunny had run away before she could get it to calm down, so she had no idea what to do.

[u][i] – Zivon – [/u][/i] 
Zivon carefully looked back at the two, shivering a bit somehow he was still of course very afraid not even saying a word. He bit his bottom lip again and looked around hoping to find something to calm him down a bit…at least a bit. Zivon put the book back in the shelf and sat down on the floor, his ankle was hurting really badly. He rubbed his ankle and it felt really swollen. “O-ow-w…” He sighed as his bangs covered his face he was feeling less scared bit still feared any failure he would create. He has to try to be brave like his dad wanted him to be yet he couldn’t bring up his very small courage. “H-H-i…ii… so-r-r…y” Zivon tried to get out of his weakling shell yet he couldn’t... 

[i][u] - Andromeda - [/u][/i]
He did seem to be a little calmer now, but not a lot "you don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong" she looked him over "are you scared of me? or Leroy?" she asked, smiling making the question sound almost like a joke "plenty of people have been scared of me" she said, still smiling "with good reason truthfully" she cleared her throat "that was an interesting power you have" she figured if she kept talking and didn't make him he might calm down a little "it can be a little destructive i guess, but so can mine" her smile became a little sad "but hey, you can fix the things you break" she chuckled sadly. then she looked back up at him to see if he would talk or not.

[u][i] – Zivon – [/u][/i] 
Zivon didn’t look back as he hugged his on knees avoiding any eye contact as Andromeda spoke he wanted to reply but all he could say were just one words and his stuttering made it hard to understand. It was pretty noticeable that he was shaking, he was afraid of course but tried to be brave…like what his dad wanted. “M-Ma…a-a..n..y-y t-h…in-n..g-gs” He said as Andromeda asked if he was scared of her or Leroy, he was scared of both of them but only because his nature. As soon she started to talk about his power he shut himself up, like he turned off not wanting to explain any of it, it had cause him a great deal to him and his dad and yet he really couldn’t control it that made it worse. He closed his eyes and shook even more. “C-c-u…ur…s-s..e” He said very quietly, it was a curse to him and wished he never had it. 

[i][u] - Andromeda - [/u][/i]
she chuckled a little when he said it was a curse "mine's a curse too, i guess we have a lot in common, Zivon"
she sighed "please talk to me, i hate silences" she pulled her legs underneath of her and sat down on her knees in front of him "and believe it or not, i don't particularly like talking either"
she figured she'd change the topic "do you like Athalia, Zivon?" she gently ran a hand back through her hair/snakes which hissed quietly but otherwise ignored it. she really wanted to take her glasses off but she didn't have her veil to replace it with, she just clasped her hands gently in front of her, waiting to see if he would respond.

[u][i] – Zivon – [/u][/i] 
Zivon just kept quiet even though he wanted to speak all he can say were stuttering words and something silence. He didn’t look at her but flinched back hearing the clap. Zivon then bit his thumb and looked at her not showing his face from his bangs but just looking at her. “…o-ok…a-a..y-y” He stuttered out, he did like the school but it was just him thinking that he would ruin and mess things up like how he freaked out at the auditorium. “C…o-m…m-mo…on-n?” Zivon tilted his head… someone he had something in common with? 

[i][u] - Andromeda - [/u][/i]
She smiled "good, it's not a bad school, I've been tutored and home-schooled up until now because my mom refused to let me leave the house unless she was there" she fiddled with strings of her bikini without thinking about it. then she chuckled again when he stuttered out common. Andromeda nodded "yeah, we're both cursed, i assume from birth?" it was a rhetorical question so she just kept going with "and we both seem pretty shy, i'm mainly talking cause it's what my dad does when i'm scared, hearing someone else talk always seemed to calm me down, but that's just me, and of course we both go to Athalia" she smiled and laughed a little "you look like a really nice person, and i'd like to know more about you, if you'd give me a chance"

[i][u] - Crash - [/i][/u]
Crash noted the smile as she stepped through the door, he had just caught up to her when she tilted her head to the side. He lifted a hand to the back of his neck, his cheeks flushing a darker color at what she said. “I don’t know, it feels like a big favour to ask. After all I am dragging you away from training” He pointed out, as he moved over towards her. He looked a little confused at her next question for a brief moment before he remembered the bruises were the reason they were leaving in the first place, he lifted his hand to his cheek subconsciously running his fingers over the cut resisting there. “Not the infirmary!” He exclaimed, grinning apologetically at his sharp response. “...I still haven’t recovered from the last time” He confessed, involuntarily shivering at the thought of returning to Kiwi. “I’ve got something in my room I could use, should only take a minute to grab then we can get back...” He announced, he chewed his lip and glanced at her seeming to be a little calmer now he slid his hands into his pockets uncertainly, probably something a Crash should never do if he's planning on moving. “Fancy walking along the beach on the way?” He asked her, taking a couple of steps backwards and jutting his head towards the empty beach it was easy enough to walk that way to get to the beach houses or follow a path through the resort.

[i][u] - Matt - [/i][/u]
The girl ignored him and instead came closer, rubbing his hair even more. Matt started to get nervous. Why was this girl trying to rub his hair? And why did she hear him? Even one who spoke a different language would realize he was attempting to talk to them.

He began to back slowly away, as if any sudden movements would either anger the girl, or scare her.

[i][u] - Meanwhile, Dani shoots targets and does a relatively good job at archery - [/i][/u]

[u][i] - Kathy - [/i][/u]
Kathy shook her head and responded, "Don't worry. It's my first time with archery so I'm not exactly all that attached to it yet anyway." She looked away for a moment feeling a bit of colour return to her cheeks again. [i]'And I much prefer to follow along with you instead of staying behind...'[/i] She thought as she ran her fingers through the ends of her ponytail, deciding not to admit the stronger reason aloud for... A variety of reasons. Another laugh could be heard after Crash's adamant refusal to go to the infirmary. She had suspected as much, but his reaction had been funnier than she would have thought. "Haha, anyone that's been under Kiwi's care can sympathize. Bruises are probably a bit too light considering the risks of going to the infirmary." Hearing the suggestion, Kathy also glanced over at the beach for a moment. Despite the fact she honestly preferred to walk on solid ground much more than the sandy surfaces of the beach, she nodded in agreement without hesitating. "Sounds good." Smiling, she held her hand out to him again, "So we keep the accidents at bay?" She told him again, subtly hinting that she wanted him to take his hand out of his pockets.

[i][u] - Crash - [/i][/u]
Crash lifted the corner of his mouth giving her a lopsided smile as she spoke, his eyes dropping to her hand as she ran her fingers through her ponytail. “Agreed” He chuckled “Between the two of you I don’t think I’ll ever walk into a room again without checking the ceiling first” He commented with amusement present in his expression. His mouth twitched up into a smile as she nodded though he looked a little surprised as she held her hand out to him, blinking at her as she offered her explanation he grinned sheepishly at her pulling both of his hands from his pockets. “Hmm would probably be best, I don’t think I’ll survive any...” He reached for her taking her hand in his own automatically though he froze after doing so remembering she generally held his wrist, he hesitantly loosened his grip so she could slide her hand to his wrist should she want to. “...How long did Darwin say your hair would be purple?” Crash grinned at her trying to shift any awkward feelings, once Kathy had decided what she was comfortable with Crash made his way onto the sand hopefully with her in tow. 

[u][i] - Margaret - [/i][/u]
The girl blinked when the color began to move away from her... She felt strange. A new sensation entered her heart.

Fear. She failed to express this emotion, but she was certainly feeling it. The girl watched the red color slowly distance itself, simply staring at the red color moving away from her. Did she look scary? Or was it just a shy entity? She wished she could see more. Maybe have her eyes opened... well, her eyes were literally opened at this point, but not technically. The orange-haired girl shrunk just a little, taking a few steps toward the color again. She liked red. It made her feel... safe? She felt more curious than anything. Curious and fearful. Curious. The girl promised to remember "curious."

Meanwhile, Nikola felt like waking up.

[u][i]Ryuu Yamauchi[/i][/u]
Ryuu threw down the book he was reading. It literally took him ONE second to throw down the thing. What on God's green Earth was a "Foompuhn," anyway? With that said, the otaku had given up on this book, so he decided to take out one of his manga magazines for a quick break.

He eventually read for thirty minutes.

"HOLY CRAP!!!" The sunglasses-wearing otaku yelled in the Magic Dojo. "WHAT AM I EVEN DOING HERE?!"

He sighed, sweating profusely as he unknowingly received a decent amount of frightened glances, though thankfully, he had not shouted loud enough to catch everyone's attentions. The otaku came to the dojo to train on magic, not read about how that one girl attempted to slice apart that one dude due to some embarrassing situation. With that said, he took out another book.

"Weapon Enchantments," it said, or at least, that was the extremely butchered name of the book he just took out. The otaku blinked, wondering if this book would genuinely do good things for him. So he decided to at least read it. Just a little. The otaku took a seat on a table, intently glaring at the book's contents...

So far, he was doing pretty good. Ten seconds was already a great record for him.

[u][i] - Tora Yamauchi - [/i][/u]
Tora had vanished into his own training room after realizing that Crash would take an eternity to run. Directly underneath the Dojo he was in, the Yamauchi began to tear apart a bunch of punching bags, though his methods were unseen by everyone right at the moment.
