[IC] Athalia Academy

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Zivon

The guy he had accidentally bumped into also fell back but quickly recovered and stood up. "Oh my, I'm terribly sorry." The guy apologized right before Zivon did. He still felt a little embarrassed for not looking where he was going. “I was pretty distracted myself... In fact, I just got in here. Even though I was supposed to be here yesterday." The guy said as he glanced around the area. “Oo-hh…wh-y?’ Zivon asked, even after making friends and meeting new people, was still afraid he did got better of controlling is nervousness…in a way, if people he knew was there then he can calm down better but he was wasn’t with anyone he knew at all. ‘Calm down…’ He quietly shook at place thinking of something to say. “U-uum-m It-‘s o-kay…” His voice still stammered a bit as he started to play with his bangs suddenly. “By th-the way…I am Z-iv…y…” He accidentally said the nickname his dad called him sometimes then his real nickname.

[Ebil Bunny]

Matt
"Matt!" someone called from above him. He looked up and saw Lily flying above him. Bael was nowhere to be seen.

"I just wanted to apologize if I made you think I didn't want to be your friend. I... I upset you. I'm sorry." Lily floated down and sat beside him.

"I just... I can't stand the pain that courses through my head when I try to think about you and when I try to remember knowing you from before. I feel like even if you told me... It'd just destroy me."

That would explain the headaches. I'll have to remember to not ask her about those things anymore.

"You're welcome to join Bael and I. I need to get some clothes because I didn't really bring any with me. I hope they have white dresses! Anyway, he's waiting on me. We'll be in the bookstore if you change your mind. I do... want to be your friend, Matt."

Lily flew off to go meet Bael, but Matt sat there a little while more, thinking. Her shrinking back in time was getting serious. Bael seemed to not care one bit if Lily went back to her original state, but Matt sure did, and he had a feeling Bael knew what was going on a whole lot more then appeared.

You will not get away with this, Bael, you don't care about Lily, only the happiness she gives you. Matt thought, angrily. He stood up and made his way into the building. It was time to find some clues. Last time Matt had seen her in her original form, she had been healing the boy who had been thrown through the table. That meant that it must have happened after that, and before that morning.

Dani
“Tha-ts cool, I h-ave Science, Hist-ory, Engli-sh, Art, Home econo-mic, P.E and Gard-ening.” Zivon stuttered. Dani smiled, those classes fit Zivon like a glove.

“I ki-nd of wan-t to go to on-e of my cl-asses, oh for din-ner later my dor-m room is One-on-e-one at seve-n or eight. Se-e you la-ter.” said Zivon, getting up.

"See you then, then!" Dani replied with a wave. Well, now he was by himself. Without the need to eat, there was no point in staying where he was. Dani got up and also left the Cafeteria without really knowing where to go. He wondered around a bit, eventually ending up in the dorm area.

Eh, I might as well head up to the Student Center. According to the rumors, it was fixed. I kind of want to see that for myself, though. Dani thought. He took the stairs, because he wasn't really in a rush. He climbed up to the second floor, where he saw three boys and a girl, just standing in the hallway. He made his way over to them.

"Hey guys, what's up?" he asked. Nothing wrong with meeting new people, right?

[Aeris]

Christopher

Christopher's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he watched the boy in front of him. He's stuttering?[/b] The boy thought and Zivon answered by himself, speaking. Christopher didn't exactly understand why. There was something else making Christopher intrigued about the boy... something... pure. Christopher took a step forward, tilting his head forward. It was a feeling he [i]knew from somewhere, but where? An energy... a pulsating energy. It felt pure, somewhat- but not entirely.
"Ahaha, it's a bit embarassing... I got lost." Christopher explained with a heartily chuckle, smacking his palm against his forehead (weakly) to show his disappointment with himself. He nodded at the boy, extending his hand for a handshake. "Zivy, eh? I'm Christopher. You can call me Chris, if that's easier."

It seems this year won't be as bad as I though! Making friends literally a few minutes after getting in here...

Bael - Bookstore

"Do you often study the ground?"

Huh, that was fast. Bael thought, glancing over at the angel with a smirk. "Know the field you battle in; it's an important key to the victory." He whispered softly in a serious tone... But after a few seconds the boy chuckled slightly, obviously joking around with the angel. The girl claimed she was ready and Bael nodded at her, though he turned to face her with a serious expression on his face, these cold eyes now focusing on the angel in front of him.

"So, how was it? Did you talk with that friend of yours?" it was unsure if his question was due to interest or genuine worry, but by the look of his face he certainly wasn't 'just asking'. He wanted to know.

[Sukui]

Isse and Andenine
"Hey guys, what's up?" he asked. Nothing wrong with meeting new people, right?

Both of them heard something from the direction of the stairs and turned their heads around to see another dark-haired man.

Anedine was the first to respond to him, especially considering that the white-haired, timid girl was the social kind of person. She walked to where he was, giving a small smile on the way. It was always her job to respond quick to any people wanting to make friends, but then sometimes it goes out of hand to the point that she wanted to be the first in everything about socialization to the point that it made her seem a bit arrogant.

"Hello there!" Anedine closed her eyes and tilted her head. "I'm Anedine, what's your name?"

Isse just stood there, leaning on the wall while his ears were focused on the music playing from his phone. His head moved to the beat of the tones, while still keeping his mind and his eyes on Anedine and the other dark haired boy near the stairs.

[DELETED7282737]

Liam cafetaria

Liam finished her cornflakes and looked around. "Where did everyone go?" No trace of anyone that just sat at her table. "Well that will be one fun afternoon then jeez." She grabbes her tray and walkes over to the counter to get seconds. She finished her meal as fast as she could ending with a ice cream. A sudden pain went through her head. 'Brain freeze' She smashed her head onto the table. She moved both her hands to her head, She kept lying there for a bit till it didn't hurt anymore. Her head was bleeding a bit but she had plasters with her. She headed to the restroom to put one on.

When she arrived at the restroom there were some girls talking about makeup and stuff. Honestly Liam didn't care less, Makeup spread all over the place in front of the mirror. Liam could probably make a creepy mask out all of it and let it dry so that she could wear it to scare people. The girls looked weird at her since she wore like 100 times less make up then them. She walked over to the mirror and cleaned the blood of her forehead. The girls talked about her, She only gave them a quick look but didn't really care. "She looks so pale how can people even look at her. I feel my eyes burning off just looking at her." Liam whipes her hand over the collection of makeup that was standing there not even looking and continues to put her plaster on her head. The girls walked angry over to her but Liam ignores them and walks out of the restroom.

'And then you have nothing left to do, Great' She walks over to her dorm room to watch some of her movies again. The dorm room opened, a girl was standing there. The curtains were open again so Liam walked towards them with her hood up to close them first. Liam looked at the girl again "Why are you in my room, They said that my room mate hadn't arrived yet." She walks over to the kitchen to get some more popcorn out one of the cupboards. The bag of popcorn opened with a bang letting half of the popcorn fall on the ground beneat her. Liam moves closer to the girl again. "Want some, It's freee" she said while grinning at her.

[NaraK]

Jeanne R. Cortez

"Oh, um... Yup!" Cortez said, not knowing what a Rosetta Stone exactly was. She heard her father constantly calling her that instead of using her real name whenever she decoded ancient texts, but it sounded like a particularly pretty pirate name. Also, hearing that Andromeda did not seem to hate her ability for no real reason was even better. Boy, she hated it whenever her crewmates constantly bickered about how their captain had a logical AND useless ability, but they had no ill tones in their voices when they said that.

"This eye of mine is really good in many circumstances!" Cortez said, puffing out her chest with pride. "And methinks I'll get to use it in classes today!"

She then went over to claim her bags, looking at Andromeda as she pointed at the dormitory door. "Me gotta go take classes, now! Pops'll be angry if I never took any, aye!"

---

Ryuu Yamauchi

Ryuu smacked his forehead. Yet another mysterious guy just ninja'd his way into the hallway! Something had to be done about that freaking set of burgers Adenine had, but she did not seem to realize it! And not to mention, they all looked better than him.

Except for Isse. Maybe. Just maybe.

...On a second thought, he beats me by a freaking mile, Ryuu thought depressingly. He was an otaku, after all. What did he expect from the world when he already had Meru-chan, right? Still, he really did not want to leave Adenine by herself. And the thought of her getting picked away by some annoyingly handsome prince irked at him.

But alas, maybe it was better this way! Maybe he should just-

-...To hell with it, Ryuu thought, staring away from the white-haired girl. That kiss was probably far from mutual. Maybe I'm just kinda overthinking things!

Ryuu's depressing aura somewhat lessened. That's right! Maybe he still had a chance to back away- at least, right at the moment. For he was not mentally prepared to begin chasing after a woman... again. And it was just a dangerous path for a man to go after a girl if she already had a whole baggage of men following her. If his sister consoled him with actual trustworthy information... MAYBE he would start a chase.

...That f-cking CPR is gonna be the death of me, Ryuu thought, attempting to go away unnoticed. He did his job making it look less awkward for a bunch of pretty boys to surround a girl, so he might as well chill out somewhere... right?

By the time he went to the gardens, he was already regretting his decision.

THAT F-CKING CPR!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!,

He never should have gotten that CPR, now that he thought about it. She did not even deserve a punk like him, but his mind never wavered in imagining anime girls. And when he thought about anime girls, that girl kept on popping up in his head! Ryuu clutched his head, sulking nearby patches of brush, constantly biting his gloved finger as if he were a villain that had been outsmarted in a game of wits.

[Driving Park]

Carmen - ZOMG PAINT

As Carmen played the final pensive notes of the Pavane, she kept her trumpet to her lips because she expected to have to play an entire symphony before the painter would be finished. She had no idea painting was his actual ability, and was visibly astounded when he waved her over soon after she finished. The cat seemed impressed, and when Carmen reached the painting she was greeted by an uplifting masterpiece. Her eyes were wide with amazement. "How did you paint that so fast? And with that quality and beauty!" Could it be that that's why he's here and not at a normal school? she thought to herself. "I don't understand how that's even possible!" It was curious that she had seen so much already in her time at Athalia, and yet a speed painter was what really amazed her. Perhaps it was because he, too, was an artist. In her astonishment she neglected to make the connection that his painting talents were not too dissimilar to her ability to sound like anything - in this case, a French orchestra - from one trumpet.

[Legion020]

David was all focused on the food that Anedine was carrying. Hoping he might get some. He heard that it were burgers, making him crave it even more. But more and more people started gathering in the hallway. Anedine jumped away to talk to a new guy. Somehow David started thinking about Cortez. Where would she be? I hope she got enough sleep after that night…why am I caring for her right now? he mentally asked himself. He looked around, checking if she hasn’t emerged already. But she was nowhere to be seen. But he did see Ryuu who looked…off. Right before he wanted to ask if something was wrong, the Otaku walked away. For a second David was conflicted. Cortez might emerge any moment, Anedine had burgers too. But Ryuu was becoming his friend. A friend is more important that food or a girl! he disciplined himself. The food part was a fact for him. The girl part he didn’t really know. Maybe it was just because they where becoming friends too.

Never the less he walked after Ryuu into the garden. “Hey! Ryuu! You okay?” he shouted after him.

[Theobromine]

– Leroy

“Thank you sir cat. You’re probably the only feline I’ve met with a taste for art.” Leroy grinned, giving the purple cat another pat on the head. He began to wonder if his ability would also work on animals. He never tried, but now he was extremely tempted to do so.

Enjoying Carmen’s reaction he laughed, “I use improvised techniques from East Asia for ink wash painting. It’s a lot faster because a few strokes can depict a lot of detail and I don’t use all the layers in oil or water colors.” Leroy wasn’t lying, but he was omitting the charm his ability added to the painting on purpose. “I’ve painted for a long time. Anyone would get a lot faster after the first few hundreds of paintings.”

“For me, the real amazing one seems to be you.” He continued, eyes glinting with curiosity. “Is there some sort of gimmick in that trumpet of yours? I can hardly believe all that sound came from just one instrument.”

Dipping his brush into the black ink, he added another couple of strokes at the bottom left corner. He had written today’s date in faint, flowing letters. Carefully ripping the page out of his sketchbook, he held the painting out to Carmen. “As thanks for the inspiration and amazing performance."

[Ebil Bunny]

Dani
"I'm Dani, nice to meet you, Anedine!" replied Dani. He didn't mention the food for a couple of reasons. One, he was never hungry, and two, it would be rude.
His eyes wavered over to the other two boys who ran off when he got there.
Why'd they leave? I'm not a scary ghost yet. Dani wondered, raising his eyebrows. Eh, they probably have somewhere to go. Maybe they're going to class.
His eyes returned to the girl.
"Are you waiting for someone?" he asked.

Matt
Matt entered the elevator and pushed the button to go to the Student Center. Operation Fix Lily was a go. First, he needed to find some clues.
The doors opened and Matt left the elevator and entered the Student Center. When he got there, he looked around.
What do you know, they really did fix the Student Center. he thought. He looked at the group of two people and a purple cat that were just hanging around. The women with the trumpet that had played at the party was there, but he didn't know who the boy was. Or the purple cat.
"I have a question," Matt started. "Did any of you see a girl about this tall..." he held out his hand. "...with white hair and a heavenly aurora last night?"

[HylianRose]

Eric - Going to Library

He followed the group to the library, preferring to stay quiet. He listened to them idly, smiling every now and then at something they said. They approached the end of the hallway where two double doors stood. They stopped and Eric smiled. He looked around at the decorations around the place. It wasn't much but it was enough to make it beautiful. Small little gold linings, silver, glass panes with Great Author's pictures posted. He walked up to the front door and it slide open,, much to his surprise. He walked in gingerly, looking around. One his left was a desk with several women and a few men walking around, one was seated at a desk and she smiled up at them.

"Hello there. Welcome to Cross Library." She told them, smiling widely. Eric simply nodded and began to walk over to the many shelves located on the other side. They were mostly reference books meant for research. He looked around for a glimpse of a fiction book but could find one. All he saw were reference books and DVDs. There was a small stand near the entrances with some of the newest fiction books but he knew there had to be more. The woman noticed this and smiled at him.

"There are more fiction books upstairs." She told him. He nodded again and looked over at the stairs. Going up them, it led him to a new room with quite a few shelves. He grinned and walked over to a shelf. Without much though, he picked up a book and began to skim through it.

Lily - Outside

"Know the field you battle in; it's an important key to the victory." Bael replied, garnering a confused look for Lily.

"Field of Battle? This is a school, silly! The only thing we'll be battling are books!" She told him, playfully hitting him on the shoulder. She grinned at him, still floating above him.

"So, how was it? Did you talk with that friend of yours?" She smiled at his question and gave him a thumbs up.

"I explained everything to him. I think everything will be fine. At least, he didn't seem upset anymore." She told Bael, letting her bare feet touch the ground next to him. "Come on, let's go! The store isn't open all day." She told him, pulling his arm toward the store with a grin. She'd never had this much fun and she couldn't wait to make more friends. After this, she'd have to go on a hunt for more friends!

[FaithsRose]

Little Feather

Little Feather hopped along quite happily, her smile growing wider as Kathy laughed light heartedly. She pressed the tips of her fingers together thinking over what Kathy had said about the party. “So...that wasn’t supposed to happen?” Little Feather mused. Explains a lot Lion purred, lowering his head to sniff the floor. “I am happy, that parties do not always go like that” Little Feather decided a slight skip in her step. “Really? What can you do?” She asked innocent eyes wide with curiosity. She came to a stop as they reached the library, bouncing through the door after Eric, Lion looked at the sliding doors with a certain amount of awe, standing back and pawing at the air in front of the door, making the doors open and close a few times. What on earth is this?! He grumbled and looked through the door at Little Feather who had seemingly been oblivious to the mysterious disappearing doors. Lion stood back wiggled his butt and shot forward through the doors his tail between his legs so it wouldn’t get stuck in the doors. He shook himself out looking very disgruntled.

Once inside Little Feather pranced over to the nearest line of shelves, reaching out and running her fingers along the spines of the books. “Wow...this is-“ Little Feather blurted out, putting a hand to her mouth to hush herself as she realized how loud she had been. She retreated to the safety of the others, her excitement barely contained as she passed them to look at another line of books, fingertips dancing over the embossed spines with a small smile on her face. Lion padded into the library aware he was being watched by the few people that inhabited the library especially the lady sat behind the desk. He flicked his ears forward. I get the feeling I’m not particularly wanted here... He grumbled low in his throat watching Eric look around the books.

Little Feather turned to look at Kathy and Eric, smiling brightly at them she turned to the woman as she spoke. Fiction? She wondered, watching Eric head up the stairs. Her shoulders slunk but she begrudgingly followed him climbing the stairs slowly as if it was a chore. When she reached the top of the stairs she stood there for a while, looking at the shelves quizzically she pulled a book from the nearest shelf and opened it, a confused expression on her face as she flicked through the pages. Lion trotted up the stairs, stopping at the top watching Kathy his tail wagging. “Psst Lion...what’s this?” Little Feather murmured under her breath bringing the book to the Lion, who blinked at the pages and looked at her strangely. Squiggles?

Crash

Crash replaced his head phone when he didn’t get a response from anyone; instead they had turned their attention the other way. Probably for the best He shrugged and headed back towards the stairs descending them. He strolled back into the entrance hall of the student center, standing at the center of the room a perplexed expression on his face. He pulled his phone out of his pocket, tapping it as he chewed his lip, his finger hovering over the screen as he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, opening it up and studying it.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Zivon

Zivon mostly kept his head down but could still see the guy. ‘I guess I will never get use to people…hehe..’ He scratched his head. "Ahaha, it's a bit embarrassing... I got lost." Christopher explained with a strong chuckle. “L-ost?” Hew as curious how did he get lost well he was lost at that moment. They guy extended his hand for a handshake. “Zivy, eh? I'm Christopher. You can call me Chris, if that's easier." Zivon mentally face palm to do the fact he did accidentally said his nickname from his dad. He reached slowly for the handshake while still shaking a bit. “Ch-ris…Nic-e too mee-t y-ou” Zivon shook Chris’ hand then continue to play with his bangs. “S-o whe-re are yo-u go-ing?”

Seven

Seven purred again as the bot patted his head again. The only feline with a taste of art, it may be quite true but there is lot of Bakeneko or Nekomata out in the world who would like the art. “Interesting how you paint so fast!” He was surely impressed with the fact the boy said that he had been painting for a long time that he grew accustomed of painting really fast and really fun. Seven decided to stay around the boy a bit more, he more so out curious of the boy. He scratched his ears and licked his nose. A boy that he didn't recognised walked up to him.

"Did any of you see a girl about this tall..." The guy held his hand to a certain height. "...with white hair and a heavenly aurora last night?"His head tilted with fascination. 'Heavenly aurora? how quite odd yet fascinating.' He slowly got to the pile of clothes and change to his humanish form. He then dressed back up even though he didn’t want to, he may like being naked but he isn’t that rude…at the most part.He looked at the boy while still changing. "Sorry I do not know, Heavenly aurora? Interesting quite interesting indeed." His Cheshire smile came back to his as he licked his paw hand whatever.

[Theobromine]

– Leroy

Still holding the painting out to Carmen with his right hand, he turned to look at the newest visitor to the student center. The fact the cat had changed back into a human and was getting dressed again (in public, and in the presence of a member of the opposite gender to boot) was a little odd, but it wasn’t as though he had never painted nude models before. He just shrugged it off and turned back to the dark-haired boy that had just joined them.

“A heavenly aurora?” Leroy repeated, raising a brow with a very intrigued expression on his face. “Nope, unfortunately I just got here today and missed out on all the fun last night.” The boy had a rather serious look about him for someone that was just asking around about the party or looking for a date that double-crossed him. ‘Did something else happen at the party?’ He pondered.

He acted calm, but he was practically glowing with excitement and had a hint of mischief in his eyes. “Hey, just why are you looking for such an intriguing-sounding lady anyway?” He asked the dark-haired boy, “If there’s an interesting story behind it, I can try to help you out. For example, I can make a facial composite of her so you can just show the sketch to people instead of trying to describe her like that.”

[Animelover_princess]

Andromeda watched the girl leave, proud of herself for talking so much "probably cause i'm tired" she crossed to her room and decided after she took a shower she would check out her classes as well.

so she hopped in and afterwards headed for a late breakfast at the cafeteria, she forgot to take her sunglasses off though so she was wearing those instead of her veil.

she sat down and started nibbling at some pancakes.

[Theobromine]

– Kathy

“Me? I-” Before Kathy had a chance to answer Little Feather’s question about her ability, they had already arrived at the library. Both Eric and Little Feather seemed to be in awe at the place, and quite understandably so. The staff at the library seemed in awe for an entirely different reason and, once again, quite understandably so. ‘Lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my!’ She thought, quoting the Wizard of Oz.

“Eric, Little Feather.” Calling out to them in a slightly hushed voice she told them, “I’ll be here at a table if you guys want to sit down to read the books.”

While she enjoyed the occasional novel every so often, she was not interested in reading fictional stories at that moment. Instead of following the others upstairs, she remained on the ground floor and began to search through the non-fiction section instead. Kathy grabbed a book with the word ‘Quiet’ written in red on the grey cover, a book that seemed to be directed towards anger management, and a third book that was focused on an entirely different subject compared to the other two: human physiology. The third was the thickest, and was heavy enough to make for an effective blunt weapon if anyone had the strength to wave it around.

The books secure in her arms, she walked over to one of the group study tables. She sat down in one of the seats and placed the other books on the table as she looking through the index of the book on human physiology.

[Aeris]

Christopher

After the handshake, Christopher casually placed his hands inside his pockets, keeping a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you too!" The fact that this Zivy was still stuttering was a bit worrying; Christopher couldn't exactly understand the concept of nervousness without cause, to him... there was a problem. Something that made him stutter like that. He just didn't knew what, yet. But he was interested in finding out the specific reason.

"Oh, I was headed towards a class. What about yourself? The fact that we can pick what we do whenever we want is a bit confusing to me, y'know... I have no idea of what classes I should take." The blonde boy exhaled a sigh, shrugging his shoulders. "What about you? Were you headed somewhere? Ow man, I've probably took a lot of your time already... Sorry about that!"

Bael

Talking about books..." Bael started, his left hand raising in the air, closing into a fist as he allowed himself a majestic laughter (which was quite awkward, by the way). However, he just went quiet... his hand being kept in the air, awkwardly. He was staring at Lily, who had just said that she explained something to Matt and that the boy didn't look so upset anymore. The only thought Bael had about this was: Hmpf, who cares.

Then, suddenly...

"I WANT ALL OF THEM!" The boy shouted that as high as he could... For no reason at all. It was a way of expressing how much he actually loved books... It was hard to get them when you live in the depths of hell, but now there wasn't anything keeping him from getting as many books as he could. Except money, he'd need it to buy them. Books were amazing, they were creative, artistic and everything that was good and nice. Pure perfection, with the exception of some which honestly sucked.

The boy grabbed her hand and strolled after the girl, agreeing. "Yeah, let's buy as many books as we can before it closes!"

[HylianRose]

Lily - Going to Bookstore

Her eyes grew wide at his outburst and slowly a smile grew on her face. She chuckled as they ran to the bookstore. She was happy to know that he liked books so much. Another thing to put on her list. The color purple and books. She smiled silently to herself. She began to wonder what sort of things Matt liked too. She needed to ask him... A long with all of the other friends she would make. Her smile softened, her cheeks growing rosy red. It was nice to have friends that needed you. Though, did they really need her? The smiled faded slightly, her thoughts turning sour. Sure, she was happy with them, but was she making them happy? Did they really need her? Her gaze fell to the ground as she jumped up and floated along, letting go of Bael's hand.

What if I'm not even needed? Just extra.. weight...

Memories of the other Angels yelling at her popped into her head. Shouting things like she wasn't needed, she had no place there... She took in a deep breath as they approached the bookstore and entered through the sliding double doors. She put on a convincing smile and turned to Bael.

"Where's the book section?" She asked, looking around.

[Destinyfailhorror17]

Zivon

His nervousness went away slowly as he was getting accustomed to Chris. He was still nervous but not crazy nervous earlier. “Oh, I was headed towards a class. What about yourself? The fact that we can pick what we do whenever we want is a bit confusing to me, y'know... I have no idea of what classes I should take." Chris shrugged his shoulder, Zivon nodded with that confusing part it is a school but you can or cannot go to classes…odd yet intriguing. "What about you? Were you headed somewhere? Ow man, I've probably took a lot of your time already... Sorry about that!"

Zivon shook his head. “No y-ou didn’t, I w-as goi-ng to an Art cl-ass but I got lo-st, the sch-ool layo-ut still con-fuses me…” He gave out an awkward smile after that.
