Psychological Attributes

Egotistical * Mischievous * Insane * Hot-Headed

Sexuality: This doesn’t matter.
Relationship Status: Who even has time?! Shoo.
Personality: Valona is the epitome of high elf demeanour despite never being around any high elves of this temperament. The most she has encountered them is within her books and those that studied at the Academy but those “High” Elves were nothing like the graceful counterparts that Valona prided herself as being descended from that she had read about. Her ego spawned within her a temper and, despite her trials to remain classy, Valona is not exactly the crispest napkin on the table at all times. Generally speaking, Valona controls her urges to be crass and attempts to keep her anger under control but due to her unique circumstances, another side of Valona breaks out on occasion.

The second half of Valona is known as Norsa. Now Norsa is everything that Valona wishes to avoid. Norsa is disgusting, crass, quick to anger, utterly insane and would happily attempt to fight anything and anyone despite the fact that she is a 5’0” Elven mage that would snap due to a gentle breeze never mind someone’s fist hitting her. Valona likes to pretend that Norsa doesn’t exist and that anyone who mentions Norsa to her is completely and utterly off their rocker but she is all too aware of what Norsa gets up to. This is generally why Valona has such rosy cheeks, just by sheer and utter embarrassment.

Now, not only does Valona have to put up with Norsa but she also has a little voice that likes to speak to her which fuels the mischievous nature within Valona and Norsa. Valona is always one to have a good time at another person’s expense, so long as it is harmless. Noras on the other hand, enjoys the same but doesn’t much care if it is harmless or not. Now these voices, as entertaining as they can be, actually cause the people around Valona to consider her completely and utterly insane since she (and Norsa) respond to the voices and carry a conversation with, what is seemingly, herself.

Suffice it to say, Valona is a worrisome/entertaining case for anyone that travels with her.
Habits:

• Talks/mutters to herself
• Swats at the air around her at random moments
• Throws things randomly in erratic areas and directions
• Growls and hisses at people

Hobbies:

• Studying magic & learning new spells
• Keeping notes on the results of the magical surges which she produces
• Throwing things randomly in erratic areas and directions whilst also shouting profanities in High Elven
• Collecting alchemical components and sellable items from fallen foes

Fears:

• Being alone
• Never being alone
• Losing Ha’des
• Losing herself

Likes:

• Sunshine
• Rain
• Dragons
• Peace and quiet
• Reading
• Learning
• Alchemy
• Gathering ingredients

Dislikes:

• Anyone that looks at her funny
• Anyone that she hears talking about her behind her back
• Anyone that takes her stuff
• Anyone that gives her a hard time for being a mage
• Anyone that makes noise just to make noise
• Destroying an enemy so badly that there are no alchemical components to be gathered from their remains
• Music

Skills

• Infravision: Can see heat sources even in the darkest conditions (does not work through magical darkness).
• Low-light Vision: Can see twice as far in dimmer lighting than a human can, and can still distinguish detail and colours in these lighting conditions.
• Sleep Immunity: Cannot be placed under the influences of a sleep based spell.
• Quick Footed: Elves have slightly quicker walking speeds and reaction times in comparison to humans.
• Enchantment Resilience: Has higher chances of resisting enchantment based spells cast upon herself by enemies.
• Concentration: Can hold her concentration longer throughout distractions that are around her.
• Panning: Can search in rivers, lakes, dams and other bodies of water for elements and components that can be used in potion mixing and as spell components. (By using a pan, like gold panners use.)
• Herbalism: Knows what plants are useful for using in potion making and their properties. Includes edible items.
• Alchemy: Can mix poisons and potions and can identify various components and potions/poisons that may not be commonly known.
• Cooking: Can cook decently enough, not a master cook though.
• Mental Resistance: Has a stronger mental strength than normal.
• Swimming: Can swim without her clothing and pack impeding her.
• Climb: Can climb hills, short rocky cliffs and trees.
• Listen: Ablity to pick up on sounds that might otherwise go unnoticed in less populated areas. (Valona cannot use this ability in crowded areas.)
• Weapon Proficiency (Quarterstaff): Is amazing at “showing off” with her quarterstaff, can properly use it too but she just doesn’t have the strength to do much damage with it at all. It is more for defence than anything else.
• Weapon Proficiency (Sling): Has good aim but can sometimes miss her mark. She likes to put pouches and potions in place of bullets in order to attack larger groups of enemies when she is too tired for spell casting. Those don’t need as much precision to be useful.
• Weapon Proficiency (Dagger): She can handle it enough to use it while gutting and deboning animals and not stab herself. Could probably stick the pointy end in someone else if she had to. She’s never had to yet.
• Use Rope: Can use grappling hook, climb rope, make knots, bind people. Sometimes her knots aren’t tight enough, sometimes people break free, and sometimes the grappling hook doesn’t hook right. She can climb a rope though, so that’s something.
• Foraging (Resourceful): Can make the most out of random items that other creatures may find useless or a waste of time. Can also find some random items within piles of discard or on fallen foes.
• Alertness: Keen to pick up on noises, people, scent, etc that are out of place and that are known to Valona.
• Survivalist: Valona has been living in the wild forests and plains for half a century and therefore, she has learned how to live off of the land. She may not be as adept at it as Rangers or Druids are, but she is competent enough to not die like a bitch.
• Writing: Is able to write in various handwritings; primarily broken, short hand and cursive.
• Fast Reading: Can read text at twice the rate of a non-reader.

• Languages: As a Mage, Valona can speak, read and write many languages. The following list is the languages that Valona knows.
  
  • Common
  • Elven
  • Dwarf
  • Halfling
  • Gnome
  • Orc
  • Giant
  • Goblin
  • Gnoll
  • Draconic (Taught to her by her Ha’des.)
  • Ancient

• Knowledge: The following list are areas of knowledge that Valona has acquired over her near two centuries of life.
  • Arcana
  • Architecture
  • Dungeoneering
  • Geography
  • History
  • Nature
  • Nobility
  • Common/Local Cultures

Magic

• Wild Magic Surge: These surges happen randomly and occur about 5% of the time when Valona casts magic from her person. When Norsa is in full flow and casts magic from her person, there is a 10% chance of a surge happening. Her emotional state also affects the frequency of her surges. The more uncontrollable her emotions, the higher the chance of surges.
  These surges can change, affect or interrupt the outcome of the spell that Valona/Norsa is trying to cast. Example; Valona wishes to cast a Darkness spell but a surge occurs. The darkness will possibly still occur but pebbles will start to rain from the sky above her. Or perhaps the darkness does not work and she instead finds streamers spouting from her fingertips and her feet within a puddle of water. She could even cast the spell but instead a fireball could erupt from her hands.
  The surges can also affect the strength of the spell being cast. If this is the case, it will only make this affect and will not include a secondary affect to the spell. Example; Valona casts fireball at a group of three enemies but a surge occurs. The fireball is now the size of a pea and only hits one enemy as if it were a peashooter on fire. Adversely, the fireball could possibly double in size and hit more than 3 enemies at a time.
  (The surges are randomly decided by a dice roll and a table found in The Tome of Magic from AD&D. I will not use the surges that are perhaps completely insane and will check with the GM first before making any surge posts.)
  Components: She must cast a spell from her person, this does not affect spells cast by wand/staff/scroll.
  Drawbacks: I think these are pretty clear hopefully.
• Fireball: A Fireball is an explosive burst of flame, which detonates with a low roar, and delivers damage proportionate to the distance from the target in which it explodes. It can also throw enemies off balance due to the concussive force in which the fireball explodes.
  The further out from the sphere you are, the less likely you are to be knocked back. If you are within the sphere, but not in the centre, you will risk losing balance and being knocked off your feet or backwards. Besides causing damage to creatures, the Fireball ignites all combustible materials within its burst radius, and the heat of the Fireball will melt soft metals such as gold, copper, silver, etc.
  Range: 75’
  Casting Time: 3 seconds
  Duration: Instantaneous
  Area of Effect: 15’ radius sphere
  Components: Pellet of sulphur
  Drawbacks: Can harm allies as well as enemies.
• Spider’s Web: A Web spell creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands similar to spider webs, but far larger and tougher. These masses must be anchored to two or more points - floor and ceiling, opposite walls, etc. The surfaces must be opposite facing in some manner and cannot be on the same surface as itself. The webs must be at least 5’ thick. Example; this means Valona could cast it and it will be roughly 10’ high, 5’ wide and 2.5’ deep.
  Creatures caught within webs, or simply touching them, become stuck amongst the gluey fibres. Creatures with less than 13 strength must remain fast until freed by another or until the spell wears off. It is important to note that the strands of a Web spell are flammable. A magic flaming sword will slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire - torch, flaming oil, flaming sword, etc. - will set them alight and burn them away in a single round. All creatures within the webs will take some points of damage from the flames, but those freed of the strands will not be harmed.
  Range: 10’
  Casting Time: 2 seconds
  Duration: 10 minutes
  Area of Effect: 125 cubic feet
  Components: Small piece of spider web.
  Drawbacks: Valona and her allies can also be caught in the web.
• Polymorph Self: When this spell is cast, the magic-user is able to assume the form of any creature - from as small as a wren to as large as a hippopotamus - and its form of locomotion as well. The spell does not give the other abilities (attack, magic. etc.), nor does it run the risk of changing personality and mentality.
  Thus, a magic-user changed to an owl could fly, but his or her vision would be of their own race; a change to a black pudding would enable movement under doors or along halls and ceilings but not the pudding's offensive or defensive capabilities. Naturally, the strength of the new form must be sufficient to allow normal movement. The spell caster can change his or her form as often as desired.
  Range: Self
  Casting Time: 3 seconds
  Duration: 10 minutes or until Valona chooses to leave it
  Area of Effect: Self
  Components: Valona has to have seen the creature or monster that he is wishing to impersonate. Seeing these creatures or monsters in books does not count.
  Drawbacks: Valona becomes more mentally unstable when using this repeatedly or constantly in a single day. This therefore increases her risk of wild surges by 10% on top of Valona/Norsa’s usual 5/10%
• Continual Darkness: When this spell is cast, a globe of impenetrable darkness is created. This spell causes total, impenetrable darkness in the area of its effect. Infravision or ultravision are useless. Neither normal nor magical light will work unless a Light or Continual Light spell is used. In the former event, the darkness spell is negated by the Light spell and vice versa.
  Range: 30’
  Casting Time: 3 seconds
  Duration: Permanent (Until dispelled)
  Area of Effect: 15’ diameter globe
  Components: Crushed/powdered coal
  Drawbacks: None known.

History

Parents: Father (High Elf): Unknown whereabouts and mortality. Mother (Wood Elf): Dead. No relationship.
Siblings: No idea. Maybe? Maybe not.
Childhood: Father was not around, her mother abandoned her at a tavern in a town called Redfort. She was brought up in an orphanage and began to show signs of magic ability. A senior professor called Roland at The Academy discovered her abilities and took her under his wing, enrolling her into The Academy and waiving the usual fees for her.
Adulthood:

• Graduated the Academy at 21
• Travelled around, helping small villages where she could for ten years.
• Met Greedo.
• Greedo and Valona travelled together for five years.
• They discovered a cavern within a wide mountain range called Fingtook. Inside this cavern there was a strange magical energy. They investigated more and Greedo and Valona were blasted into the walls of the cavern, being knocked unconscious.
• On awakening, Valona was on her own and Greedo was nowhere to be found.
• Valona began to hear voices, her mind slowly began to crack. She struck out inside the Academy when she returned to visit Roland, hurting him accidentally.
• Valona was tested and discovered to have Wild Magic surging through her. She was requested to set out for the Magnus Cove in Hinter to learn how to control her surges.
• Valona never made it to Hinter due to an unexpected run in with Greedo. His power had increased tenfold, his control much greater than it had been when she had last seen him in the cavern. Greedo had gained all of Valona’s control, he had known about the cavern and had lured Valona there under the pretence of finding great secrets and power together but instead stole her pure magical ability and gave her his own corrupted wild magic instead.
• Valona attempted to fight Greedo and cart him as her prisoner to Hinter but as she attempted to cast a spell, a surge went off and caused Greedo to be short range teleported. It was enough that she couldn’t find or follow him and he escaped.
• Valona has slowly and surely slipped into mental instability at the constant inability to control her powers. She feared hurting others originally and kept herself isolated from civilisation.
• She happened upon a scroll of Find Familiar, sick of being alone at this point, Valona cast it and met Ha’des. Ha’des had apparently been some of the voices that she had been hearing for so many years. She tried to stab him and eat him, it didn’t end well for her. Ha’des used his telekinesis to keep her unable to harm him.
• She and Ha’des began spending time together playing pranks on unsuspecting travellers and made it their mission to have as much fun as possible until Valona found Greedo.
• After being alone with only Ha’des as company, Valona began to slip ever more into insanity and Norsa began to appear.
• Ha’des took it upon himself to encourage Norsa as much as he had Valona to commit pranks.
• After some time wandering aimlessly, feeling completely defeated at the fact that she could not find Greedo, Valona wanders far and wide, travelling and learning as much as she can whilst doing as little magic as she possibly can handle.

Special Moments:

• Meeting Roland.
• Being brought into The Academy by Roland.
• Meeting Ha’des.

Current Events: Valona is sick of being unable to use the magic she has been learning about and has been hunting for Greedo to force him into fixing what he has done to her.

  Area of Effect: 15’ radius sphere
  Components: Pellet of sulphur
  Drawbacks: Can harm allies as well as enemies.
• Spider’s Web: A Web spell creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands similar to spider webs, but far larger and tougher. These masses must be anchored to two or more points - floor and ceiling, opposite walls, etc. The surfaces must be opposite facing in some manner and cannot be on the same surface as itself. The webs must be at least 5’ thick. Example; this means Valona could cast it and it will be roughly 10’ high, 5’ wide and 2.5’ deep.
  Creatures caught within webs, or simply touching them, become stuck amongst the gluey fibres. Creatures with less than 13 strength must remain fast until freed by another or until the spell wears off. It is important to note that the strands of a Web spell are flammable. A magic flaming sword will slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire - torch, flaming oil, flaming sword, etc. - will set them alight and burn them away in a single round. All creatures within the webs will take some points of damage from the flames, but those freed of the strands will not be harmed.
  Range: 10’
  Casting Time: 2 seconds
  Duration: 10 minutes
  Area of Effect: 125 cubic feet
  Components: Small piece of spider web.
  Drawbacks: Valona and her allies can also be caught in the web.
• Polymorph Self: When this spell is cast, the magic-user is able to assume the form of any creature - from as small as a wren to as large as a hippopotamus - and its form of locomotion as well. The spell does not give the other abilities (attack, magic. etc.), nor does it run the risk of changing personality and mentality.
  Thus, a magic-user changed to an owl could fly, but his or her vision would be of their own race; a change to a black pudding would enable movement under doors or along halls and ceilings but not the pudding's offensive or defensive capabilities. Naturally, the strength of the new form must be sufficient to allow normal movement. The spell caster can change his or her form as often as desired.
  Range: Self
  Casting Time: 3 seconds
  Duration: 10 minutes or until Valona chooses to leave it
  Area of Effect: Self
  Components: Valona has to have seen the creature or monster that he is wishing to impersonate. Seeing these creatures or monsters in books does not count.
  Drawbacks: Valona becomes more mentally unstable when using this repeatedly or constantly in a single day. This therefore increases her risk of wild surges by 10% on top of Valona/Norsa’s usual 5/10%
• Continual Darkness: When this spell is cast, a globe of impenetrable darkness is created. This spell causes total, impenetrable darkness in the area of its effect. Infravision or ultravision are useless. Neither normal nor magical light will work unless a Light or Continual Light spell is used. In the former event, the darkness spell is negated by the Light spell and vice versa.
  Range: 30’
  Casting Time: 3 seconds
  Duration: Permanent (Until dispelled)
  Area of Effect: 15’ diameter globe
  Components: Crushed/powdered coal
  Drawbacks: None known.

History

Parents: Father (High Elf): Unknown whereabouts and mortality. Mother (Wood Elf): Dead. No relationship.
Siblings: No idea. Maybe? Maybe not.
Childhood: Father was not around, her mother abandoned her at a tavern in a town called Redfort. She was brought up in an orphanage and began to show signs of magic ability. A senior professor called Roland at The Academy discovered her abilities and took her under his wing, enrolling her into The Academy and waiving the usual fees for her.
Adulthood:

• Graduated the Academy at 21
• Travelled around, helping small villages where she could for ten years.
• Met Greedo.
• Greedo and Valona travelled together for five years.
• They discovered a cavern within a wide mountain range called Fingtook. Inside this cavern there was a strange magical energy. They investigated more and Greedo and Valona were blasted into the walls of the cavern, being knocked unconscious.
• On awakening, Valona was on her own and Greedo was nowhere to be found.
• Valona began to hear voices, her mind slowly began to crack. She struck out inside the Academy when she returned to visit Roland, hurting him accidentally.
• Valona was tested and discovered to have Wild Magic surging through her. She was requested to set out for the Magnus Cove in Hinter to learn how to control her surges.
• Valona never made it to Hinter due to an unexpected run in with Greedo. His power had increased tenfold, his control much greater than it had been when she had last seen him in the cavern. Greedo had gained all of Valona’s control, he had known about the cavern and had lured Valona there under the pretence of finding great secrets and power together but instead stole her pure magical ability and gave her his own corrupted wild magic instead.
• Valona attempted to fight Greedo and cart him as her prisoner to Hinter but as she attempted to cast a spell, a surge went off and caused Greedo to be short range teleported. It was enough that she couldn’t find or follow him and he escaped.
• Valona has slowly and surely slipped into mental instability at the constant inability to control her powers. She feared hurting others originally and kept herself isolated from civilisation.
• She happened upon a scroll of Find Familiar, sick of being alone at this point, Valona cast it and met Ha’des. Ha’des had apparently been some of the voices that she had been hearing for so many years. She tried to stab him and eat him, it didn’t end well for her. Ha’des used his telekinesis to keep her unable to harm him.
• She and Ha’des began spending time together playing pranks on unsuspecting travellers and made it their mission to have as much fun as possible until Valona found Greedo.
• After being alone with only Ha’des as company, Valona began to slip ever more into insanity and Norsa began to appear.
• Ha’des took it upon himself to encourage Norsa as much as he had Valona to commit pranks.
• After some time wandering aimlessly, feeling completely defeated at the fact that she could not find Greedo, Valona wanders far and wide, travelling and learning as much as she can whilst doing as little magic as she possibly can handle.

Special Moments:

• Meeting Roland.
• Being brought into The Academy by Roland.
• Meeting Ha’des.

Current Events: Valona is sick of being unable to use the magic she has been learning about and has been hunting for Greedo to force him into fixing what he has done to her.

10 Years Earlier…

Flashback Mentions: @Lady Amalthea @foxygen

---

It was prom night and it was one of the biggest nights of their senior year. Kai had never thought he’d get a senior prom considering how many times he had been held back and denied entry to it due to his previous behaviours throughout high school. He looked to Ada and smiled warmly at her as she stretched up to kiss him before she disappeared to do the announcements. He buried his hands deep in his pants pockets and grinned sheepishly as he watched Ada walk away.

Usually Ash would have been in the group with Kai, Marc and Ada but considering who she was dating right now she was currently standing across the dancefloor from them. She knew that Kai and Marc weren’t Atlas’s biggest fans and she wanted them to enjoy their night even if she did miss hanging with them. There would be time for that later though, right now she was spending her time with her date.

Kai was soon brought back to his senses after watching Ada walking away by an elbow jabbing his ribs. A smirk crossed his face and he stuck his tongue out at Marc before letting out a deep, belly laugh. “Aaah maan, you’re just jealous since you and Ash decided to just be friends. You could’ve had a date for tonight, if you could just open up to the poor girl.” He slung his arm around Marc’s shoulders and gave him a bro-hug sideways shake. He was just jesting really but there was some truth behind his words. Clearly Marc’s best bud had absolutely no idea that Marc had another lady in mind to be his date for the evening.

As Ada began her speech, Kai watched her from his spot on the floor. He fixed his shirt and suit jacket to make himself as smart as possible for his beautiful girl. She had such poise and presence, he didn’t know what he had done to deserve her but he knew that she meant the world to him. He’d do absolutely anything for her. He chuckled at the comments about Mr. Black, one of his favourite teachers, he’d miss that guy. Snorting at Marc’s comment, Kai muttered right back to him. “I’ll never be as bad as Black-attack. Plus I’m off the stuff now man.” He gave Marc a playful, feigning punch to the ribs for his jesting comment. “A low blow for a low blow!”

Ash grinned and clapped, smiled and laughed at all the right moments of Ada’s little speech she was so happy watching Ada on stage and if Ash won the crown she’d be even happier that it was Ada up there and not someone who was fake and only pretend to care that she’d won. That wasn’t what Ashley wanted from her crowning moment of glory.

Ada began to announce who had won the crown for Prom King and Prom Queen. Kai was torn between applauding as loudly as he could for Ash or to glare stony faced at Ass-tas as he mounted the stage with Kai’s friend walking with him hand in hand. Ashley was ecstatic at winning the crown, Kai could clearly see that. Walking forward excitedly, Ash had to stop herself from crying. She bundled the off-white chiffon skirt of her prom dress and made her way up the stairs towards her best friend. “Hey cutie! Thank you so much…” She beamed at Ada as she took her place on the stage.

“Well it wasn’t fucking me.” Kai rolled his eyes and growled under his breath as he watched Ass-tas dragging Ash up the stage behind him. He had no idea why Ash and Marc had chosen to just be friends before Prom had happened. It would have been nice if they’d been able to come as a foursome instead of the haphazard mess that they were right now. He hated seeing Ash with Ass-tas but she was her own woman and could take care of herself that much he knew.

Ducking down gracefully, Ash let Ada place the crown on her head and she gave her friend an excited and warm hug before she took Atlas by the hand and stood with him, waiting for the netting to drop the balloons and streamers before they gave their thankful speeches and then had their first dance as King and Queen.

That’s when everything changed. Kai watched Ada’s face shifting into something he had never seen before. He took a half step forward and watched her with concern on his face as Ada screamed. He turned to look to where she was pointing and he froze. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Who would do such a thing? Sure Simone had never been the most beloved person in the school but she didn’t deserve this. Once again Marc’s words brought him out of his headspace and he ran to the stage to be by Ada’s side.

The scream was deafening for Ashley and she covered her ears before turning to look at Ada. She saw her pointing behind Ashley and that is when Ashley saw the look on Ada’s face. Reluctantly, Ashley turned to see what had scared Ada so much and that is when she saw her. Simone.

Ash began to scream with Ada and she crumpled to the floor, her legs too weak with shock to keep her upright. Sure she had hated Simone but Ashley had never seen anything like this. She didn’t think anyone deserved this. Kai was by Ada’s side, his hands brushing her hair out of her face as he blocked her vision with his wide frame. “Ada, babe, look at me. Keep your eyes on me, okay? Let’s get you and Ash out of here. C’mon…” His deep, warm tone waivered slightly as he thought about what he had just seen. He kept a gentle hand on the side of Ada’s face and stroked her cheek gently with his thumb.

He reached behind himself, too afraid to turn around in case he was struck with horror again, and grabbed for Ashley’s shoulder. “C’mon Ash, you don’t have to look. We’re leaving.” Ash grabbed Kai’s hand and let him lead her and Ada out of the Gym, away from the ensuing commotion.

Two cars pulled into the Grimm High parking lot at exactly the same time. One was a slightly beaten up, brown coloured Chevrolet C/K pick-up truck that made the odd chugging, cough noise that a car that is close to dying out makes when it’s been forced to drive some distance. The other was a crimson red, 2015 Ferrari California T-Convertible with the roof down and a woman with shades, rosy lips and dazzling blonde hair cropped to just below her jawline. The truck palmed its horn at the Ferrari and the woman simply looked over and beamed a wide smile. They both pulled up, side by side, into vacant spaces before switching their engines off.

A large and lumbering Kai climbed out of the truck, a hand running through his short hair before scratching the back of his head. He adjusted his scarf and jacket collar as he shut the truck door behind him. He beamed and jogged round to the convertible and scooped up his old friend in a giant bear hug. Ashley squealed and giggled, her legs and arms flailing feebly in his strength. “Kai! God damn, put me down or you’ll wrinkle my dress!” She was laughing despite her stern tone.

“Oh sorry, my bad! It’s just so good to see you, Ash! Missed your stupid little face.” He potted Ash on the tip of her nose with his finger and she wrinkled it at his touch. Her smile remained however. She attempted to smooth out her dress and gave Kai a playful punch on the arm when she realised that it was beyond all hope. She gave another light tap on his trunk of an arm. “You said you’d call me when you arrived in town, dummy. What happened?”

Kai screwed up his face, closing his left eye as he avoided Ashley’s gaze. “I-I just… forgot, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad… I need you to buffer for me…” His voice trailed off as his thoughts drifted towards memories of Ada. He hadn’t seen her in ten years and, truth be told, he was absolutely terrified to face her again. He was sure that she hated him, she had to, especially after all these years and how he had ended things. He hadn’t even tried to see if they would work leading different lives but, too little too late.

He swallowed the butterflies away and looked Ash square in her judging little face. She sighed and placed her hands on her hips, shaking her head. “I don’t get how you two managed to not talk in ten years. You both still have the closest friends that you had in school while you were together and yet, still, nothing? It’s just plain unhealthy, y’know?” She rose her hands at her sides and let them drop back down, bouncing against her hips.

She sighed again and shook her head before leaning into her car and grabbing a pair of heels from the passenger seat. She slipped off her sneakers, putting them in place of the heels in her car and slipped her heels on instead. “Shall we get this show on the road then? I’m sure plenty of the others are here already. She gave an encouraging smile to Kai who had been standing looking towards the gym hall with a worried look on his face. “Yeah, sure. Hey, feeling nostalgic?” A playful tone entered his voice and Kai grinned mischievously as he ducked down, patting his back with his hands.

Ashley burst out laughing and nodded, before running and jumping on his back. Her dress was already creased so it didn’t matter what she did now. She grabbed her purse and clicked her key fob to close up her car and lock it as they made their way to the gym hall.
“You aren’t worried some paparazzo will notice you acting like a big kid with an old school friend and misconstrue it for you cheating on your current boyfriend?” He poked fun at her as he carried her towards the doorway to the hardest encounter he had had in ten years. “Pffffft, no. Besides Al knows I’m faithful and true and that’s all that matters. Gossip mags and tabloid papers can’t ruin what we’ve got!” She nudged his head with hers as her chin rested on his shoulder. “Besides, Al has seen the picture of us at Honolulu beach! He know you’re like my brother.” The pair started laughing as they approached the doors.

Ash slipped down from his back and adjusted her dress and hair. She placed a hand on the handle and got ready to open it up. “Ready?” Kai swallowed hard and gave a single nod. Ashley opened the door and stomped inside with a model, runway look that she had perfected over her years in the industry. Kai trailed in behind her, his shoulders back and chest pushed out as confidently as he could fake it. Ashley stopped, legs slightly apart, one hand on hip and the other raised in the air. “I’m back bitches! Miss me?” She gave her usual award winning smile and took in the crowd. She noticed Hye standing quite close bye and she ran over and hugged her.

Kai shuffled off to the side, letting all eyes land on Ash. He wasn’t ready for this. He stood for a moment before shuffling back out the way they had come in right as Ash ran off to cuddle Hye. He was happy to see most of the people here but he needed help. More than what Ash could provide. Once he was outside he grabbed a bundle from his inside jacket pocket and lit it up. He needed something to calm his nerves, he couldn’t do this without it.

Jas was ecstatic when Ada agreed to help her and the perfect first patsy arrived within moments. Granted, her blood began to boil but she kept it hidden beneath her wondrous façade like the amazing lawyer that she was. The usual faux-charm oozed from Atlas Sterling as he pretty much ignored Ada and kept his eyes on Jas. She smiled, nodded and giggled in all the right places and right as she took a breath to respond to his inane and irksome prattling, everyone began to arrive.

Jae-Kwoon Park arrived first and Jas gave him a smile and wave in greeting. He’d been pretty decent to Jas, all things considered, during high school so there was no bad blood there. Then Riley Ridgeway entered the room, her pink streaks bright under the fluorescent gym lighting, Jas took her outstretched hand and shook it firmly. Valencia Grey was next, she rolled in looking like a babe despite being a pro-athlete, and she hadn’t lost the ability to dress herself. Jas continued the pageantry motions of smiling and waving to people as Ada introduced her, pretending like she didn’t know them but making sure to not ignore anyone that entered the fray.

Just when things seemed like they were going to settle down some, a scream sounded out calling for Ada from the direction of the ladies’ room. Jas turned and saw someone that she never thought she would see again. Cynthia McMillan. She knew what had happened to her, she knew she’d been released and Ada had warned Jas that she would be at the reunion but she never truly believed that she would come.

Her face registered shock, but there was hardly any concern there. Catching herself, Jas placed a furrow in her brow and gave her best look of worry. She didn’t have a score to settle with Cynthia. Despite her deep seated dislike for the girl, she had suffered enough. There was nothing more that Jas could do to Cynthia that would make her sorry for how she had treated people in high school.
Jas then noticed Hye-Eun Song entering the gym hall and gave another smile and a wave. She was happy to let Ada deal with Cynthia, she had no intentions of getting mixed up in whatever guilt trip that Ada felt towards the woman.

Then, not moments after Hye had entered than Ashley Cunningham made her grand entrance. Of course that woman wouldn’t do anything by half measures and of course she still looked like a supermodel. God, Jas had hoped she’d at least have put a few pounds on or something but no, bitch was looking better than ever. Jas perked an eyebrow and tried not to roll her eyes at the spectacle. That’s when she spotted Kai Malana, her high school crush. He was looking way better than he ever did in high school, waaaay better.

She had to stop her jaw from dropping but she spied him leaving just as quickly as he had entered. She wondered what had caused him to leave suddenly but maybe he was just taking a call or something? She shrugged and turned back to Atlas, smiling once again but a little more subdued this time after Cynthia’s outburst. She hadn’t said anything since anyone had arrived but she had no real need to do so just yet. Sure, Atlas had asked her a question but considering the disturbance he no doubt forgot what he had even asked or that he had even been speaking to her.
