Hey Runaway, is Calista going to make a post at some point? I've been holding off posting for Sasha until she does (Sasha is in the library).

Shadow Inori seems like an exact Sasha foil.

Also, custom avatars! :D

As am I!

Sasha is also semi-open for interaction. I moved her to the library to give Calista company but so far no Calista posts. I may move her again to the cafeteria...Fredricka part 2 perhaps. Also Hylian sorry for just leaving but I didn't want to godmod Fredricka into walking back and I wanted to advance it a little.

I'm beginning to wonder if making even a rudimentary overhead map of the campus would be a good idea. I'm already wondering if my brain's visualization of the campus locations is totally wrong.

Sasha's location: Forest

Djhango made his formal goodbyes as the sky continued to grow darker. He bowed to her and Fredricka, and Sasha instinctively bowed back. She wasn't of a culture where bowing was commonplace, but knew about it and was actually quite fond of courtesy bows. "It was nice to meet you too, Djhango," Sasha replied. "Thank you for being so kind." As soon as he was out of earshot, Sasha became visibly vexed. "I never asked him what he was!" she exclaimed. "He clearly was mythological to some degree...but how?" She sighed. "Oh well. I'm sure I will run into him eventually. Sorry for the outburst," she said to Fredricka with a smile. "I can be hard to deal with sometimes...at least, I think so." There was nothing left to discuss out here, and Fredricka offered to walk Sasha back. Sasha chuckled a bit. "I think I would be safe on my own...we're all supernaturals, after all. But, I will never refuse an offer of companionship. Walking back with you would be nice."

Eventually, Sasha reached the main building, which was still full of audible and visible commotion. As she was about to walk in, though, audible and visible commotion occurred by the fountain. One bright flash of light later and Sasha didn't know which commotion she wanted to go to less. As she looked over to where the flash of light had been, she saw a dragon suddenly swoop up into the air and then back down at another part of the campus. As she had only caught a glimpse of it before, she didn't realize it was the same dragon from before, but seeing the entire thing flying brought up the same dark memories she had had the first time. The dragon even appeared to be similar to the one in the memory, and this time it was too much for Sasha to bear in a dignified fashion, and she collapsed onto the ground weeping. After a few minutes she was able to get back up on her feet and open her eyes. She hesitantly looked around and was visibly relieved when she could see nobody that could have seen her breakdown. She was no longer in tears but still visibly shaken, and she walked inside to the main hall. As she walked through the people still milling about, she felt like she was in a dream. If anyone had tried to get her attention, she was too enveloped in her own thoughts in an almost trance-like state to notice. She was searching for the quietest place on campus to collect her thoughts and recover - the library. She knew the school had to have one, and as she walked around the unfamiliar halls she eventually found it. Not only was it very quiet like a library should be but it was also barely occupied. She walked deeper into the library passing rows and rows of books until she found a quiet study desk. She sat down quietly and just sat and stared, thinking and recuperating.

Hylian, that sounds good. I have to run for now (day's not over yet) so you can feel free to timeskip or wait for me to get home tonight (about 4 hours from now) and I can do a wrapup post. That was a fun first interaction!

I'm still awake. :P Midnight here.

Sasha sensed curiosity and confusion in Djhango as he responded to her with a comment that indicated to Sasha that she had set him up for a response poorly, in that there really wasn't anything to respond with. She noted his yawns and that the sky had grown darker. Perhaps it would be best to continue this conversation tomorrow. "Perhaps it would be best to continue this conversation tomorrow," she said, echoing her own thoughts. "It's getting late and we do happen to be right where Fredricka sleeps. You seem to be getting tired...of course, the rest of the campus doesn't seem to be slowing down at all," she said, looking to the main building in the distance. It was still well lit and commotion of people milling about inside could be faintly seen from where the trio were standing. This is a supernatural campus in the sky after all, Sasha thought to herself. A lot of people here probably don't even need to sleep at all. She mentally shrugged. She felt fine, but would be just as happy going back to her room and sleeping. After all, she'd lasted so long without any negative memories resurfacing and it would be good to end her first day on a good note.

"Ahhh...a city dweller," Sasha responded. Now his comment made a lot more sense. "We don't really have big cities where I'm from, so yes...I've been around nature my whole life, which, incidentally, is many more years than I look." Sasha grinned a little. "Though not to her extent," she said, looking over at Fredricka. "I'd like to go to New York some day," she continued. "I've never been there, but I have memories of it - other peoples' memories. It would be nice to experience some of the places I remember for myself."

She wondered what a big city would be like. Being so radically different from her life surroundings thus far, she imagined she'd get lost. She wasn't the goddess of navigation, after all.
