@Mega Birb@Lucius Cypher I apologize ahead of time, but... It's time to go into ogre-drive boys.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

Shiro Kawabata

//KAWABATA_SHIRO.EXE has stopped working

//Rebooting cognitive thought drive… error

//Emotion management protocols are out of order

//System in general is FUBAR

The brown liquid just an echelon short of pure caffeine remained stagnate, unabiding to the sudden shift in movement. The atmospheric ambience had dulled, quieted, almost to the point that the mall had become a vacuum in space. Shiro, who had just been passively relishing the bitter taste of the espresso in contrast to his smoothie, was now in a predicament. One that escaped the grasp of feasibility. Rather, had taken the boy into its own grasp entirely, and subsequently, literally. Like a mantis, Lina was poised for the kill and struck forth to bring her target into a warm embrace. Or was that heat the steam emanating from the teen’s head as a rosy hue began to take form. Flustered couldn’t even dream to describe the rosy red that filled his cheeks at such a swift rate.

A number of emotions attempted to materialize themselves on the boy’s face. This turmoil only made his reaction just that much more comical. If Lina sought to tease the boy, she had surpassed that boundary by far. For a scant second, the thought that perhaps this ploy was genuine popped up. Either way, the characteristically easygoing Shiro Kawabata had been ensnared by his own words which had left his mouth without a second thought. They had gone from point A to point B as smoothly as the flow of water.

Not even a moment prior he was listening to Lina’s dialogue, yet it was only a tactful ruse to distract his conscience. A lone eye had widened at the word “date”, though unfortunately even with the boost from the caffeine coursing through his veins, his boss was nonchalantly a step ahead. Still unable to process the sensation that enveloped his arm, he made the daring attempt to open his mouth and articulate something remotely close to human speech. ”Y-yeah.”

Well obviously. It was like his arm had been frozen and locked in its current… state. Shiro was always the offensive player IG, despite his archetype. He always placed himself on the vanguard, right beside his comrades, forthright to the core. Even in the midst of combat the rogue would sprinkle words of humor as he never wavered concerning his relaxed demeanor. Rallying up a sortie was second nature to him. Because of this devoted mentality, a prospect had taken fruition in his mind. There were matters that needed to be tended to, but Shiro had read enough novels to know that everybody always hated the dense characters who never reciprocate other’s feelings. He was in between a rock and a soft place. Well, two actually.

He finally came to a decision and placed the stammered words at ease. ”Twenty.” He spoke clearly, composed just like how his expression now was. ”Just twenty minutes, and then my agenda’s cleaner than a whistle. We can explore this mall for the rest of the evening. You can even have me for the entire night if you so wish.” Perfectly aware that this trek laid within dire straits, the boy acted with this notion in mind. He freed his arm from the grasp that had suddenly loosened and weaved his pinky around one of hers with the very same limb. ”It’s a pinky promise. I’ll eat a hundred thousand ghost peppers if I break it.” In spite of the lack of feeling in his legs, Shiro got up from his seat and noted the way to the arcade. He looked down at the blonde with a kind smile, ”Oh, and- um… Thanks for earlier. I’m in your debt once again.” With those parting words he proceeded to the arcade, hoping that the gang had something damn well pertinent. Before his arrival, Shiro sent a message to two individuals he could rely upon if things went south.

”Hey guys, it’s Moon. About to confront some shifty characters at the local mall’s gaming center, probably got some super spooky secret stuff to talk about. At least I know for sure it was instigated when they found out I was a Sweeper, so I’m gonna go off on a limb here and say that it’s something concerning the group. If you legends are in the area and are free, mind meeting me by the entrance? Look for a kid with an eyepatch, orange hair, and is about a yeigh high. I need a hero, lads.”

They stuck out like a really, really sore thumb. Although a few of them were playing games and fitting in, the head honcho and the humongous ball of fluffiness looked incongruous to the scene. Shiro stood at the entrance, stealing a glance over his shoulder every so often to check on his backers. The gang would probably spot him any moment, but hopefully his two friends will have arrived in time as well.

Must be a busy week for peepz. @Inertia, feel free to bring the two all the way to the pools, for sake of time efficiency. Also, noticed that you were heading as morning for your posts. Had Zephyr as during lunch break, so he'd be able to do whatever without the time constraints caused by successive classes.

Zephyr Heidrich

---

Zephyr sent himself off with a slight nod before catching up to “Luke Thames, the Water Elementalist” from a closed door and an affirming handshake. He matched the student’s anxiously rhythmic pace and proceeded in tandem through the subterranean realm of the academy, letting the more talkative of the two refer to passing students whenever they lost their way or believed they had. Since they had the collective navigation skills of a rock, this conundrum arose more than they would have liked. After they were steered onto the right course, the conversation was picked back up to fill the emptiness of carved hallways, ”Zephyr Heidrich.” He introduced himself curtly, still in the midst of recording Luke’s full name. The list was growing. Slowly, but surely. Since his element had been made fairly obvious, he forewent the rest of his title and consciously followed his classmate who was still surprisingly contained. Even though he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding the about today being his first day on campus, suddenly correcting the guy like, ”Actually, I was here yesterday! I just slept through most of it, silly me~!” didn’t really seem like the most plausible thing to do at the moment.

But in truth, the academy was a hellish place to navigate. Posing gargantuan walls and intricate networks that expedited the flow of educational traffic, it had to be the size it was to house and cultivate the young minds that resided within its boundaries. Compared to the towns Zephyr strayed to and from like a nomad, he found it daunting settling back down in a place again. At least this time around contingency plans wouldn’t have to be fashioned. Well, he believed as much. A blank stare oscillated between the distance before the duo and itself. Whenever the occasional passerby crossed paths with the two, their eyes would always attempt to subtly gravitate over to the orb of darkness following closely behind the two heading in the opposite direction. ”Funny how some people mistake conniving for smart.” Perhaps it was unintentional, albeit some hints lead Zeph to believe it wasn’t, but the orb floating in tow practically pegged the brunet as a user of darkness. Some may have mistaken him for an air elementalist and the spherical object was polished onyx. In spite of this, those with their wits about them zeroed in on the truth almost instantly, and didn’t think twice before their thoughts bled into their expressions.

Zephyr’s gaze traced the row of light fixtures lining the rocky hallways, which gave off the image that he was lost in his thoughts yet again. ”So, I take it you’re enjoying the academy so far, Luke?” The question that seemed to have come far from out of left field entered the air. He had asked it honestly, but monotonously. Hopefully the inquiry would suffice to fill their leisurely walk.
