Eurig

Frowning, Eurig checked his phone as the laboratory came into sight. He had intended to arrive early for once but… Where had the time gone? There had been a few distractions on the way there, but he had been certain that each task had taken less than 10 minutes to complete. ‘Next time. I’ll be here early next time.’ He thought for the hundredth time. Going inside, he stopped for another precious minute or two to cover his nose and contemplate turning around to leave. The place reeked to high heaven. Still, he persisted and continued on until he reached the lounge area. “Good afternoon. Sorry for being late.”

He quite liked his own powers, but he had to admit that it just made him seem all the more ‘monochrome’. His wardrobe consisted entirely of black, white, and grey clothes. This made it incredibly easy for him to dress in the morning but, more importantly, he didn’t have to worry about accidentally wearing some sort of horrifically bright color when he had intended on something ordinary and calm. Well, he never noticed the difference himself in the mirror but his siblings had often dragged him back into the house to change if he wore a particularly strange combination of colours.

“I’m opening the windows.” He announced, then proceeded to walk over to every available window to let in some much-needed fresh air. He could have just extended nearby shadows out to open them instead of walking to each one; but he often forgot that he had such an option available to him now. Breathing out a sigh of relief as a small breeze passed through, Eurig contemplated just standing by one of the windows to avoid as much of the foul scent as possible-

Ah, there was coffee. That seemed nice. He only had a cup in the morning to get him ready for classes and hadn’t had any more since then. Which was a severely inadequate amount of daily caffeine for the average college student. Joining Penelope by the coffee pot he tapped her shoulder and asked, “Can I mooch a cup off of you?”

Athalia Academy Season Four: Back on Track (Freaking Finally, amirite?)

Katherine Argall

As Crash began to, vaguely, tell her about the years they’d missed the first emotion she felt was concern. Then… Shock. Kathy felt her heart drop with his words. ‘Little Feather was travelling with him? But he wouldn’t even let me visit him when I…’ Staring ahead, and doing her best not to let her expression waver, she tried not to think about such things. Well… In the end she couldn’t keep up the smile she usually had on her face, but at the very least she prevented herself from looking terribly disappointed. “A-Ah… I see. So was it just you and Little Feather travelling together?” She asked, and regretted the question the very instant she finished her sentence. Actually, she was scared of learning more. She didn’t want to know if something happened between the two of them and…

“Huh?” Kathy turned to look at him in surprise. “You did?” It was strange. She had checked her phone multiple times a day to see if he contacted her again but she was certain that she hadn’t received any texts from him after- ‘Wait… Could it be?’ Looking away again she began, “I… Hadn’t received any texts from you ever since I changed my number. Um… Could it be that you never got the text I sent with my new number?” She certainly hoped so. For the longest time she had wondered if something terrible had happened to the shapeshifter, or if he no longer wanted to stay in touch with her.

Just when she had thought that Crash had managed to avoid any further accidents, he miraculously managed to fall into another. Literally. ‘It’s kind of amazing, in a sense.’ She thought as she watched him fiddle with the chair. “Careful… Otherwise I may have to drag you back to the infirmary again.” She smiled at him as she tried to comment in a joking manner. Her first reaction would’ve been to just ask if he was alright but… Judging from all the blood rushing into his face she figured it was better to make light of things instead of showing concern.

“Hm? A surprise?” Kathy’s ears perked up at a portion of Oliver’s introductions. Having signed up for computer classes she was very curious to know what the ghost had in mind. The smile on her face widened as Ryuu stepped up. He didn’t really look like a teacher, but she felt that his classes would probably be really interesting to attend. Hopefully in a good way. As the other introductions went underway, her attention began to drift. She didn’t recognize the others and having to listen to so many of them in such quick successions she gave up trying to remember them all.

She clapped along with the other students at the announcement of another party. Her enthusiasm to celebrate slipped slightly when she saw Criston fall… ‘Is he alright?’ She wondered, though there was no way for her to really know since he disappeared almost an instant later. ‘A lot of people seem to be tripping and falling today… I better be careful as well.’

With all the announcements done, most people were chattering excited and moving out of the assembly hall. Kathy was not in a hurry to leave though. Remaining in her seat, she tried to peek out at the shapeshifter beside her from the corner of her eyes. Then she looked down at herself and frowned at the clothes she had picked out… Just her usual jeans and a plain white t-shirt. ‘Ah… I really want to change before going but…’ Turning to look at Crash again, she felt her cheeks begin to glow red as she began, “Um… Crash? Since there is a party after all… Do you want to maybe…” Her voice kept getting quieter and quieter as her face turned bright red. She began to rub the back of her neck in a very Crash-like fashion as she looked back down at her shoes. Gathering up her courage, she raised her voice back to normal volume and continued, “Can we go to the party together? Er, if you don’t mind I kind of want some time to change and get ready first so… If you’re not in a rush then I was hoping we could go… Together..? O-only if you don't mind of course!”

Eurig Blevins

Appearance

Eurig (Pronounced: AY-rig) Blevins

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Personality:
A lot of people tend to tell him that he seems distant because they can’t tell what he’s thinking. More than half the time, however, he really isn’t thinking about anything and just staring blankly ahead of him. When an idea comes to him, however, he acts on it immediately without much forewarning so his actions do seem random. After having this quirk pointed it out to him (multiple times), he is trying to work on at least letting people know why he’s suddenly getting up mid-conversation to do something.

Eurig is comfortable with silence between conversations so he doesn’t find the need to attempt to fill in the gaps himself. If someone does take it upon themselves to keep talking, they would be pleasantly surprised to find that he actually enjoys meaningless small talk and is honest to a fault.

There are occasions where he’s been suspected to have ADD, mostly due to his ‘sporadic’ behavior, but a professional diagnosis showed that he shows great focus towards tasks at hand. And rather, it is when there is a lack of something for him to do that he lets himself zone out and take distractions as they appear. In fact, he is quite a good listener and can lend a proper ear to anyone that wants to vent without being judged differently for a moment of weakness/anger. That said, if someone wants him to keep things a secret they better make it very clear that it’s a secret. Leaving things implied that their conversation was confidential means that he’ll probably let things slip without even knowing he’s done something bad.

Background:
Eurig is the older-middle child of a surprisingly rowdy family consisting of his parents and 3 other siblings (1 older, 2 younger). His father just being the average salaryman and his mother a kind house wife, they never grew up with much financial trouble but it was a given that his parents couldn’t foot the bill to send all their kids to college. To make things fair, the family had a policy of just providing enough money for the first year of tuition. Each child was responsible for earning the rest of their way into graduation.

With Eurig’s personality it’s was quite difficult for him to get a part-time job… Most employers turned him away right at the interview. However, he did actually manage to succeed by working part-time in the customer service department for major phone companies. How? He worked in the complaints line; handling all the angry calls people made about the defective product and/or horrible service they received. Being a high-stress job, the wage was good and Eurig was able to let the angry voices just roll right off of him by the time his shift was done.

Things were good for a while, but unfortunately he ended up being fired for habitual tardiness (even though he would always get ready with time to spare, he often got distracted on the way there) and decided to let some of their more gung-ho interviewees have a chance at his position. Several months and many rejection calls later, even Eurig grew worried about the lack of funds in his bank account. While he knew that his family would gladly lend him some money to help him get through things until he found another job, he felt embarrassed about being the only jobless sibling (yes, even his two younger siblings in high school had part-time jobs) and wanted to find a way to keep himself afloat…

Chosen Pill Color:
Yellow. He picked this pill because yellow is one of the few colors he can confidently differentiate. After swallowing it, he gained the power of Shadow Manipulation.

Other:
- Eurig has a mild color vision defect (Protanopia) where he has trouble differentiating red and green hues. In his case the cause is genetic so he’s quite used it and hadn’t even noticed that he couldn’t differentiate colors all that well until the beginning of high school.

-tackles @Theobromine-

Honestly didn't expect you to join up! Is a certain Beast going to follow?

I'll probably be checking out CSs tonight so if you're on the pad I can give you feedback directly there or I can send you a PM. I'll let you all decide on that, however, as I know some may be more inclined to privacy.

@HylianRose

This sounded too interesting to miss. ;)

<Snipped quote by HylianRose>

I feel predictable ^^' Present and accounted for! Will get a CS up asap if I can tag in here :)

@FaithsRose

Yesss!!!

Athalia Academy Season Four: Back on Track (Freaking Finally, amirite?)

Kathy thought that Crash seemed oddly distracted as she turned her attention back to him but… Seeing the bright smile on his face as he walked over to the door, she wondered if she had imagined it. “See you two around.” Giving them a wave, she left the infirmary and waited for Crash to join her before beginning to walk down the hall.

“Sort of. I took a peek at the map and noticed that they seemed to have kept most of the layout the same as the old buildings. Sorry if I get us lost though.” She answered with a chuckle. It also helped that she had seen most of the students heading in the same direction so she had a good guess as to where the assembly hall was. In direct contrast to Crash, Kathy was growing more tense and nervous as they walked away from the infirmary. With how empty the place was now, she had just come to the realization that they were alone together. Which… Made it the perfect time to ask what he had been doing the last few years but… ‘Would that be probing in too much?’ Normally she would have still searched for a polite way to ask, but the fact that Crash had hesitated to answer her about the eyepatch was still stuck in her mind.

Luckily for her, and ironically enough, it was Crash that ended up providing the opportunity to talk about the past. “It really has been a while, hasn’t it?” Fiddling with a lock of her own hair, she continued, “I’ve been doing fairly well, and did a bit of travelling.” Actually, there had been quite a few major changes in her life but they were not things she intended to disclose without needing to. “What about you? Were you… Busy?” Kathy hesitated a bit with the last sentence as she indirectly tried to probe into why he hadn’t stayed in touch with her.

She smiled when they reached the assembly hall; feeling quite a bit proud and relieved that she had managed to guide them over to the right place. Scooting close to the door, she peeked inside and tried to locate the seats Crash was talking about, but she didn’t actually see them until they stepped into the room. Kathy gave him an appreciate smile and thumbs-up when they finally reached the seats. ‘Thank goodness there was space in the back.’ Sitting down, she kept an eye on Crash out the corner of her eyes as he settled down… A part of her actually expecting him to make some sort of last-minute blunder even from just sitting down. The thought made her feel a bit guilty, but she also wondered if that was actually possible when it came to the clumsy shapeshifter.

Her expression brightened greatly when she recognized Criston (though she had missed his introductions) and Carmen at the stage, clapping enthusiastically with the majority of the crowd when the latter transformed from the stellar bird into the familiar form of the friend she had greatly missed.

((Surprise! Managed to squeeze in 1 post before Saturday. :P))

@FaithsRose Maybe we can wait until the 'start of the assembly post' is up before continuing? Then you can add any reactions to the previous posts, then continue on with the two of them at the assembly hall?

Overhearing Crash speak to Andromeda as she searched through the cupboards, she thought that the shapeshifter would be really well-suited for the medical field… If he could overcome the curse that was his own clumsiness. He was always trying to help others, something that apparently hadn’t changed at all over the years, and he had very good bedside manners.

“That’s good to hear,” Kathy sighed in relief when Andromeda finished answering her question. “And thank you, for understanding that I didn’t mean it in an odd way.” When the bottle was mentioned again, she gently placed it down on the bedside table next to the bed for Andromeda to take if she wanted to.

Looking between the Eric and Andromeda, she smiled at the knowledge that the gorgon seemed to be in good hands. She wouldn’t have felt right about leaving the girl alone, even if all the treatment was now completed, so it was good that Eric had agreed to stay with her. “I’ll let the two of you know if you miss anything important at the assembly. Although, ah… I guess you wouldn’t know where to find me…” She paused with a thoughtful expression before the figurative lightbulb turned on and her smile returned along with a solution to the issue. “I’ll stop by the infirmary tomorrow and hopefully we’ll run into each other. If we don’t, I’ll leave a note or let Lily know to tell you what the assembly was about… She would probably remember it better than me anyway.”

“And speaking of which…” She turned her attention back to Crash. “Let’s head on over the assembly. I’m sure Andromeda will be able to get more rest with just Eric tending to her instead of having 3 people crowd and bombard her with offers of help.” Chuckling a bit, she smiled at the other girl and walked over to the door. For a moment, she hesitated. For a moment Kathy had felt tempted to ask if Crash would be willing to hold hands as they walked down the halls but… ‘Ah, nope. That won’t be good for my heart.’ Letting out a breath, she put a smile back on her face as she beckoned him over to the door. “Coming?”
