She really didn't know what to expect from any of her class mates and they were all so...different to say the least. Putting back on her clothes, she pulled her phone and unraveled it, putting her ear buds back in and walking into a shadow in the corner of the locker room. She appeared in the hall way leading to the lunch hall, putting her hands in her pockets, she kept it moving as upper classmen turned to glare at her. "Isn't that Dawn's sister, they look...so similar?" a girl whispered to the group she was standing in and they all peered over at Diana, who turned her head towards them. Making them instantly look away, Diana sighed. [i][color=mediumpurple]Even here dammit, why are you such a pain in my ass...[/color][/i] walking into the lunch hall, the same reaction to seeing Diana filled some of the room. Seems her name was something she would never escape... _________________________________________________________________________ The tests went by fairly easily for Navarre. He checked his scores and laughed in confidence before heading back to the locker room to get changed, however only after everyone else had left did he express the pain in his hands. Hitting a shot put with a metal bad was one of his worst ideas... He made a quick look around to make sure no one had heard him in pain. He obviously had to keep up his heroic personality. After quickly making his way to the lunchroom with the rest of his classmates and that's when he noticed Diana. She definitely had one of the most interesting quirks and he knew he had to speak to her, but he had to make sure not to let his fascination become too obvious. After formulating vaguely how he would approach her he decided that he would just wing it. [color=ed1c24]"Greetings! My name is Navarre, a fellow student in your class. I found your quirk to be quite interesting. What is your name?"[/color] _________________________________________________________________________ Diana wanted to pretend she didnt hear the boys voice over her music, as he seemed like a particularly loud, an even further reason to ignore him. However, the boy did have a quirk extremely similar to Shadowforge, so maybe she would take the oppurtunity to see what he was like and any information on how his own quirk actually works. Taking out one ear bud, she turned and stared into Navarre's eyes[color=mediumpurple]"You're the first person to not know my name already...good...I am Diana. Tell me Navarre, I'm gunna guess...you choosing to talk to me either means, your curious about me,...in which case I'll let you know now...you're a pretty guy but I'm not into...dudes..., or you're curious about my quirk...in which case you must really not...know who I am..."[/color] him really asking for her name was a first in a long time, she was so use to people knowing about her family, she had almost forgotten there was a way people talked to each other when meeting for the first time [i][color=mediumpurple]weird...[/color][/i] _________________________________________________________________________ A blush spread across Navarre's face at her words. [color=ed1c24]"N-no, that's not what I was here about!"[/color] Realizing that his act was broken he quickly scrambled to regain his composure. [color=ed1c24]"I mean... I was in fact here to talk about your quirk. It is strikingly similar to my own, yet also different... I am intrigued."[/color] He wore a smirk on his face despite his earlier slip up. He was severely hoping that she would ignore it so he wouldn't have to worry. _________________________________________________________________________ [i][color=mediumpurple]Pretty boy to the max huh....to bad I'm not...into people...[/color][/i] she listened to him talk and nodded in her head [color=mediumpurple]"As I thought...do you mind if we sit...standing takes alot and we...also are attracting alot of attention..."[/color] if she looked up, she knew a lot of upperclassman would be staring at the two. Moving to an empty lunch table, she took her phone and and turned her music off. Going through her phone, she pulled out the ear buds and started looking online for pictures of her family members. Pulling up her older sister, who just recently passed away in a battle with an unknown villian [color=mediumpurple]"Before I tell you...you have to do the same...that's my catch to this conversation...deal?"[/color] she looked over at Navarre with her tiny hand out. _________________________________________________________________________ [color=ed1c24]"Of course we have attracted their attention, my presence always draws the eyes of others!"[/color] Navarre shouted a bit to loudly and put his hands on his hips, attempting a heroic pose. He was indeed a master at drawing peoples attention but he fails to realize it's because most people find him to be absolutely insane. Yet he has chosen to take praise wherever he could find it, even if he had to imagine it. Moving to follow Diana to an empty table Navarre sat across from her. He nodded confidently at her proposition. [color=ed1c24]"Of course! Feel free to ask me anything. Though be warned, my dark secrets are not for the faint of heart!"[/color] _________________________________________________________________________ [color=mediumpurple][i]I'm already regretting this...[/i][/color] she pulled her hands back. Yawning suddenly and stretching her arms, she slid the phone in between them and turned it his direction. [color=mediumpurple]"Are you're familar with the Hero...[url=https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C3qDA31UcAEKtQ9.jpg:large]Twilight Shadow[/url]? She was killed in a battle...fairly recently..."[/color] scrolling pictures of her using her quirk came up. [color=mediumpurple]"Her name is Dawn...and she is my sister. Our last name is...Ravencroft...which if it sounds familiar...my father is also a hero...named [url=https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/thebakuganhangout/images/9/9c/Darkrai.gif/revision/latest?cb=20111002022745]Morning Star[/url]. Any child with...the Ravencroft blood in them...will more then likely..have the quirk, Shadowforge, I do...Now the quirk is a different variation...for every Ravencroft...I, however, have the closest...Shadowforge variation to the original, which... prior to me..my grandfather was the only one in years...to have the similar variation. What exactly are...you wondering about my quirk?"[/color] she put her phone away and propped her head on one hand. _________________________________________________________________________ Navarre sat in slightly stunned silence as he listened to Diana's story. This wasn't the first time he heard about the Ravencroft family. He had actually admired her father when he was younger, however it had been some time since he's looked into them. [color=ed1c24]"I... I apologize. My intentiones were not to bring up a sad moment for you."[/color] For one of the few times since he had arrived at this school Navarre showed an actual sincere emotion. He gave her a brief sympathetic look before moving on to answer her question. [color=ed1c24]"I simply wanted to ask more about it, we are going to learn more about each others quirks after all. However I did not expect I would meet someone of the Ravencroft bloodline. Fear not! You are still my classmate and I shall not treat you any differently, for here our pasts matter not!"[/color] He gave her a confident smile. In all honesty, he was excited to meet her but he could tell she didn't want him to make a big deal about it. _________________________________________________________________________ [color=mediumpurple]"Really there is no reason...to apologize, it is sad...but the truth is my...father, if you wanna call him that...sent her away a long...time ago, then she was sent here...just like me. Even if...i wanted to be sad...the truth is that we didn't...really know each other...all that well...but thank you none the less..."[/color] he wasn't all bad it seemed, that side he allowed to be shown for only a little, was...actually nice. Lowering her voice so many could not hear, the less that knew about her quirk, the better [color=mediumpurple]"Well Shadowforge probably works...very similarly to your very own...quirk, it's main use being...creating weapons. I need shadows...in order to make said weapons and...there are many contributing factors to...the quality and strength of said...weapon. It's simple though...the bigger the shadow, the stronger...and bigger the weapon. A good way...to tell, is the color of the weapon...stronger means darker black...the lighter the color...the weaker it is and so on...The other part of my variation...allows me to travel through shadows around me"[/color] she decided to leave out the part about the cooldown, never know if they got into a fight, holding up the facade that she could just blink around like the one kid in their class, could mean winning the match. [color=mediumpurple]"I would say thank you...but being the little sister of someone...like my sister...on top of being a Ravencroft...it's impossible for me to avoid it...which brings me to ask...what about you? Who even...are you and I try to mean that...in the least cold way...but you have this attitude like...someone of my "Status" would act...and that quirk, it's been an incredibly...long time since I met someone with a...weapon conjuring quirk like mine"[/color] _________________________________________________________________________ [color=ed1c24]"Still, it can't be fun losing someone bound to you by blood, despite the closeness."[/color] He quickly realized that staying on this topic much longer would be a terrible idea. He also had trouble believing that a hero he looked up to for so long could act like that. Navarre listened to her tentatively as she explained her abilities, utterly fascinated by the powers her quirk held. [color=ed1c24]"I believe I understand. It is the reason you used the girl who grew exponentially at one point in your tests. A very effective method I must say."[/color] Navarre tried his best to act shocked in a way that was clearly sarcastic. [color=ed1c24]"As I have told you, I am Navarre Kanasu!"[/color] He looked at Diana with his arms crossed and the smuggest grin he could muster plastered across his face. He laughed a bit and sighed before letting it drop and he leaned into whisper to her. [color=ed1c24]"In truth I am far less known than I make myself out to be. But with the way I carry myself I am able to fool even myself. I have always wanted to be... more than I am. I've wanted to be something legendary. That's why with my quirk, which I call Full Arsenal, I have been able to keep up my act of self confidence. I used this to power through life even when others would tease me for it. That is why I am so nervous whenever I drop it..."[/color] He looked away from her for a few moments, a somewhat saddened look in his eye before catching himself and turning to face her with an awkward grin. [color=ed1c24]"Apologies, I didn't mean to burden you with my mysteries!"[/color] _________________________________________________________________________ [color=mediumpurple]"You know something Naverre...you are incredibly stomachable...when you're being yourself...you know that right...I'm not...how do you say...the nicest or easiest person to talk to...to be honest with you"[/color] she looked at a group of girls pointing at them, realizing she was staring, they all scattered like children getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar. [color=mediumpurple]I actually hate...a good majority of humans...but im gunna give...you some advice, I think...most people all think you're...just some cocky guy...and I get the whole...doing something big...not my thing but...that's not the point. I think...that little vunerable side you...just showed me would go...a long way in people...thinking or better yet...wanting you to be...legendary...or make people believe...you're something bigger...then you actually are..."[/color] she shrugged and propped her head on her fists [color=mediumpurple]"But take what...I say with a grain...of salt, after all...I hate being apart of...something "big", you realize...notoriety just means there's...a bigger target on...your back so to speak"[/color] [i][color=mediumpurple]All things considered...he's loud but...he isn't all bad...Good, he could be useful...as well, I wonder how he fights...[/color][/i] _________________________________________________________________________ Navarre looked away from her awkwardly. It had been quite awhile since really anyone had given him any sort of compliment. It was actually quite refreshing to have someone be even a little happy with his normal personality. Although he knew what to expect after, that he should drop his act. [color=ed1c24]"I do appreciate the advice... and I am very thankful for the compliment. But I will be unable to stop acting like this."[/color] The entire time he spoke he looked down, trying to avoid eye contact. He didn't want to be rude but he knew he would be unable to show his true self this easily again. _________________________________________________________________________ She stood up and grabbed her phone [color=mediumpurple]"well none the less...this was a very insightful talk...more then what I thought...I was going to...get from you. Even...if you cant stop doing...that whole being cocky thing...you should consider being...just a tad bit quieter...it goes a long way...with me if you...want to..."[/color] she thought for a moment on what adjective to describe what she wanted from him [color=mediumpurple]"be acquaintance's at the very least..."[/color] this was a small way of her saying he was alright enough that they could be friends but being loud was a one way ticket to making Diana you're enemy [color=mediumpurple]"if you want...that of course...i know im probably not...the most fun...regardless, I'm going to go...to the library, I forgot...how loud school lunch...rooms got when it's nearly...filled."[/color] she looked over at Navarre, giving the smallest smile she could muster before falling back into her own shadow and disappearing. Coming up from the ground she appeared at the library remember where her sister described it being. Walking in she went straight to a tabe and sat, putting her ear buds in and sighing, finally being in silence [i][color=mediumpurple]I am never talking that much....ever again...[/color][/i] _________________________________________________________________________ [color=ed1c24]"I will take it into consideration."[/color] He gave her a smile as well and a nod before she disappeared. [i][color=ed1c24]That was absolutely awesome...[/color][/i] Navarre thought to himself as he internally freaked out because of how cool her quirk was. He had only just realized how hungry he was so he quickly grabbed some food and sat back down. [i][color=ed1c24]A friend huh... it's been awhile.[/color][/i] It'd been so long since he had let his old personality show itself to anyone. For his own sake, he had to keep acting like this though. He had to be something more than he was. But... maybe being true to one person wasn't too bad.
