Woah more than 10 IC posts in one night? :O lol that's going to be quite a read.

@Raptra

I was in what we called a SRPG once. There was a good 30+posts once when I got online. >< That was horrid to catch up on.

Dia bounced from foot to foot for a moment, before sitting down hastily at the offered spot.

She felt her cheeks heat slightly at the comment on her hair. She pulled a few stands in front of her, noting how they grouped together by her hand.

"Yes, I suppose it is," she said quietly. "I'm, uh, I'm Dia. For the record."

Her gaze fell to the ground, scrutinizing the stonework. As expected, given the Earth elementalists around, it was perfectly symmetrical. Kept clean. Uniform.

She looked back up, shocking herself. She'd started to forget she was with people. She felt her blush deepen.

"S-sorry. I get lost in details a lot..." She muttered, looking down again.

Dia peaked around the corner again, thoroughly confused at the situation she was observing.

Did... Did they just Bond over insults and rudeness? she wondered to herself. Boys are weird.

That conundrum was eating at her now. Becoming impulsive, she stepped around the corner tentatively.

Drawing closer, ever so slowly, the picture came into view. Distorted, mocking, it held a twisted kind of structure to its design.

"Errr..." She muttered. "I-i-I'm terribly sorry to intrude. But..." She faltered, losing the brief confidence she'd gained. She froze, still several feet away from the duo.

What the hell was I thinking?

@Stern Algorithm it would definitely give options for more character interaction with that particular teacher, what with all these newbies running around.

Dia sunk further back around the corner as another boy appeared. A very noticeable chill began to seep from her.

That was the problem with young elementalists. It was too easy to get hurt.

And if they get hurt, I can't do anything. I don't know enough. The patterns of muscle memory of ingrained knowledge doesn't exist. I don't know what the new one does. Light, at least, is less likely to have an accident early on. Greenhouse.... So, is the new one an Earth? Most likely... Unless he's a Unique, like myself. So many variables to the pattern. I don't have enough information. Should I get involved? Talk? No. No. No. Can't do that. Too few patterns. Not enough structure.

She let out a little involuntary noise as her anxiety climbed, and she began seriously considering running away from the scene.

@Lord Orgasmo ehhhh. I'll tentatively allow that title to be used on me. XD

Closed

@Aiyanna not needy, it's completely understandable.

Forgive me if I forget a warning (just never had to before), but I don't think we'll get that ugly.

Dear lord, who would want us?

XD

Y'all got busy while I slept.

Also, Reg, you'd think after all these years I'd remember how to spell your username without looking. >>

Dia sat beside of one of the greenhouses, staring intently at the wall.

It's so odd. Not like ice, but not unlike ice. The warped texture makes it seem like it should be rough, but it's smooth to the touch. Hard to believe it's origins is sand. Papa always said an Earth and Fire elementalists could combine their talents to create class. But to see it like this? It really drives the point home. This glass is so different than normal. Rough, yet smooth. Dull, yet clear. Colorless, yet I see a tinge of green.

A flash of light cut through her thoughts, causing her to look around the corner.

She gasped, slapping a hand to her mouth, before ducking around the corner.

"I thought I was alone out here," she muttered to herself. She peaked back around the corner, and she fully took in the details this time.

Such beautiful paintings. With light? It flows flawlessly, though I can't make anything out. Is it flat? Or am I not seeing it properly? I can't imagine such things. There's no system to it, no solidity I can trace. I don't understand it.

Dia Sidonia

Name: Dia Sidonia

Age: 15

Appearance:


No scarf, eyes are blue, no glove, and no bag.

Element: Ice

Personality: Dia is aloof, distracted by the details that make things. Like how ice is made up of crystalized water, buildings of overlaying stone, and the details of nonliving materials. The living interest her less, making her slow to notice people and as such come off as rude and antisocial.

When not involved in a conversation, or project, Dia is quiet and prone to inner monologuing on what she sees. While involved in something, Dia often becomes highly animated. Anyone who spends time around her would argue that she holds two personalities.

However, if you get Dia to become involved in the conversation you'll discover she has a great love for life and cares for others deeply. The problem is just coming out of her daze.

This love of life is blatantly obvious when she's more animated, and she becomes prone to overstating what she's thinking.

Dia is not entirely quick to open up about her deep inner fears and hopes, though, at least not until she feels comfortable around those present.

History: Dia came from two water elementalists, living nearby to the elemental school her parents had attended. She started displaying odd elemental abilities around the age of twelve, a chill around her persons. After she started becoming obsessed with details, her parents wanted to try and help her gain control (afraid that the abilities were affecting her head) and grow as a person.

In the future, Dia personally hopes to become a kind of defender with her abilities, protecting others and objects from harm. Eventually she'd love to be able to provide medical aid as well, and maybe even use her powers to help in that field (numbing and freezing, in other words).
