[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/oux2qcf.jpg[/img][/center] Iravis turned around after Alistar left, walking briskly back towards Lyssa. [color=salmon]"You are very patient. Are you ready to depart?"[/color] The Phoenix was more excited about these sweets than she cared to admit to. She wasn't sure if Lyssa overheard any of the conversation between herself and the teacher, but Iravis had been careful to keep the discussion at a reasonable volume. [hr] As Iravis spoke to the teacher, she kept herself busy by taking a look around the classroom. As odd as it might sound, the demon found wondering what the chemical and elemental components of an item could possibly be. She often was subconsciously doing it without even realizing it. It was good, that she could do such things subconsciously and without a thought. Bad that if she accidentally used her magic on something, she might end up doing a bit more than she realized. She really needed to focus on not letting her mind wander so much when she was bored. Thankfully, it didn't seem to take Iravis very long. [color=f6989d]"Hehe, well I'm not just gonna run off and leave you."[/color] She smiled, waving back at the teacher, Alistar either oblivious to the warning or just not caring.[color=f6989d] "That'd be mean! Anyways, let's go! The mall can't be too hard to find."[/color] She quickly got out of her seat...and then promptly grabbed Iraivs' hand, pulling the other girl out of the room. [color=f6989d]"Chocolate ice cream cake, here we come!~"[/color] [hr] The hellion enthusiastically hopped out of the chair and started dragging her roommate along immediately. Remembering the previous conversation, the Fire Bird couldn't help but wonder if the hand holding was part of Lyssa's affection or if it was purely practical. The red hair girls cheeks started to turn pink as she was dragged out of the room. [color=salmon]"I can travel unaided you know!"[/color] Hopefully the demon would catch the hint, but the Phoenix had little faith remaining in her roomate. [color=salmon][i]She is offering me tribute though... A goddess does reward her followers...[/I][/color] Perhaps after dinner she could talk to her roommate about it. The Phoenix wasn't keen on being used as a pillow. The roomates quickly found the mall after a little shopping around. The building was simply absurdly large, and contained almost every good and service in the modern world. Iravis found herself scouting all the stores, containing so many items the Goddess had never experienced before. [color=salmon]"Are malls always this expansive?"[/color] [hr] Lyssa seemed to either not hear or care for Iraivis' complaints about being able to find the mall herself. She practically dragged the goddess around as they left the school. Thankfully for her, after they left the building Lyssa let go, leading the way towards the city and staying at least constantly ten steps in front of Iraivs. As they searched for the Mall, Lyssa contented herself to constantly look at everything she could possibly see. She took a special interest in buying a new handheld game console from a store that was offering a sale. Specifically, a Vita and a 3DS. Something she could possibly get away with playing in class, obviously. Unfortunately, she didn't have the money for that on her at the moment, and she didn't want to keep Iraivis waiting. And soon enough, they found the mall. Wasn't hard to miss at all. It seemed like Iravis was content in taking the lead now, and quickly began scouring the stores. Lyssa simply giggled quietly to herself and let Iravis look around. They'd get to the sweets eventually. She could already smell them anyways - third floor. Smelled like a bakery. She really did hope they had an ice-cream cake or something similar here. [color=f6989d]"Yep, though I've only ever been to one once."[/color] She replied. [color=f6989d]"Living in the middle of nowhere for most of your life means you don't really get to go to many big cities. Also means if you accidentally do something, you kinda get labeled as a troublemaker, hehe. Why? Never been to one either?"[/color] [hr] The Goddess shook her head at Lyssa's question, her eyes on some scented candles. She had heard rumors that open flames weren't allowed in the dorms, but if that was true then the Phoenix wouldn't be allowed in there either. But even if she was set on breaking the rules, the Goddess lacked money. She'd have to ask the director about it later. The fire haired girl returned the candles to the shelf, a slight frown on her face. [color=salmon]"So where are these 'sweets' that you speak of?"[/color] Ultimately, the pair headed up to the store and Iravis found herself looking at the menu. The smell was overwhelmingly satisfying. The Goddesses stomach let out a small purr in anticipation as the Phoenix knew the time to feast was fast approaching. [color=salmon]"So what are you offering me today?"[/color] The Goddess looked at her roommate with a smile in anticipation. [hr] [color=f6989d]"OOh, so this a like a first for both of us! Well, my second. So that makes me more experienced!~"[/color] She grinned in response to her shaking her head. It was oddly fun, being the more experienced one in something for once, even if it probably wasn't that big of a deal. In any case, the two quickly departed the scented candles. The one Lyssa sniffed smelled more like a pie someone left sitting out too long instead of the delicious pumpkin scent she was promised, so she was grateful to leave quickly and get right to the sweets. Lyssa looked right up at the menu as the pair arrived. Iraivs was asking what she was offering, but honestly she was having a difficult time deciding. [color=f6989d]"Gah, it all sounds so delicious!"[/color] She sighed. [color=f6989d]"Ah, and the smell too! I think I might decide to live here."[/color] The demon looked like she might just be a bit too excited about this. [color=f6989d]"But uhm, right....Ah...I'd say all of it, but I don't have that kind of money~"[/color] She giggled, idly twirling her tail in her hand. [color=f6989d]"But...hmmm..."[/color] She looked back up at the menu, then back at Iravis. Then back to the menu. Then back to Iravis. This continued for several times, until a switch finally seemed to flip for the demon. [color=f6989d]"Ooh, you're gonna love this, I know it!~"[/color] She hurried over to the counter, not giving Iraivs a say in the matter. [color=f6989d]"I'll take one of those small strawberry cakes. And uhm...you guys have ice cream? Oh, goody. Vanilla icecream drowned in chocolate syrup and with chocolate chips in it."[/color] With that done, she found a seat next to a window, and waved Iraivs to come sit. [hr] The Phoenix placed herself in the chair across from Lyssa, curious about what the combination of sweets would taste like. The Goddesses curiosity was short lived however, as the cake was placed between the girls with a set of silverware for each. To Iravis, it was comparable to a small volcano. A wide forest of red on the bottom, a change to white stone towards the top, and black magma running down the sides with some small obsidian chunks dotting the landscape. The phoenix held a strand of her hair next to the strawberry cake for comparison. The Phoenix formed her lips into a small grin. [color=salmon]"So you resolve indecision with the color coding method?"[/color] Such an elementary method would surely have lackluster results. Feeling adventurous, hungry, and not wanting to reject her follower's loyal offering though, Iravis tested a spoonful containing all three elements. Eyes lit up, fire appearing behind whites of the Phoenix's eyes. The mouth closed, Iravis savoring every moment. The spoon already prepared to take another scoop. A dessert dish second only to ambrosia, nectar of the Gods. In this modern world the Goddess wasn't sure if anything could compare to what she just tasted. Sweet fruity flavors, the powerful taste of chocolate, and a form of frozen milk that just invited the tongue to consume more. Three textures so different from one another and yet cooperating on a fundamental level. Before Lyssa could comment, the Pheonix had already placed two more scoops in her mouth. She soon discovered her newest rival: an artic wind that chilled the mind. Iravis placed the spoon back into the Choclate volcano, grasping her head with a single hand. [color=salmon]"It attacks me!"[/color] She summoned fire in the other, wary of her newest enemy. [hr] [color=f6989d]"N-no!"[/color] Lyssa replied, a look of shock and surprised on her face. No matter how true it may have been, she'd never admit to using such a primitive method. She folded her arms, feeling somewhat annoyed that Iravis accused her of it. [color=f6989d]"Like I'd ever stoop to such a low method."[/color] However, it was unlikely Iravis had heard her. When she looked back over to her friend, she was quickly devouring the treat with the reckless abandon of a wild beast. [color=f6989d]"H-hey! Slow down you're gonna get a brain freeze!"[/color] No sooner did the words leave her mouth, it indeed happened. Well, aside from how cute she was being in such distress...she should probably help, though there wasn't much she could do. Aside from giggle at the other girl. [color=f6989d]"Silly, you ate it too fast."[/color] She replied with a somewhat-sly seeming smile. [color=f6989d]"It's called a brain freeze. You eat ice cream too fast, it happens. Don't tell me you don't even know that."[/color] She giggled, half jokingly. She didn't mention how [i]all[/i] of it hadn't been for Iravis. She had gotten the cake for her, and the ice cream for herself. She was intending on sharing anyways, so she hoped Iravis wasn't going to mind her getting some. [color=f6989d]"So so, how'd you like it?"[/color] She asking, reaching over with a fork and taking some of the cake and stuffing it in her mouth. Yep, delicious. [hr] The Phoenix extinguished her flame as Lyssa explained how to avoid the mind chill and teased Iravis. The fire haired woman decided from that day forth that her new rival would be the brain freeze. A goddess was able to conquer anything, and a fire goddess could surely defeat the power of ice. [color=salmon]"I think Prometheus has given more gifts to the world recently, and didn't tell his fellow gods about it."[/color] The Phoenix tried to avoid sounding too enthusiastic about the offering, but the childlike wonder on her face was all too obvious. This time the Phoenix proceeded at a more cautious pace, savoring the flavor but avoiding the brain freeze. Today, the freeze would win. But someday, Iravis would be able to eat the ice cream without his cruel interruptions. Soon enough, the pair had devoured the small cake, and there were no further signs of the brain freeze during their conquest. Iravis finished licking her spoon, then smiled at Lyssa. [color=salmon]"Night is approaching and Sir Alistar will want to talk to me. We should probably start to head back towards campus. And there's been no sign of our other roommate."[/color] [hr] With the two of them, it didn't take them long to finish devouring the sweets laid out in front of them. Honestly, it was pretty fun to hang out with Iravis like this. She had no idea who Prometheus was or whatever, but well, she sounded like she enjoyed it too. Which was a win in her book. She was a little disappointed she wanted to head back so soon after they finished, however. She wanted to stay well into the night, but...well, she had of yet to meet their other roommate as well, and that could be fun. [color=f6989d]"Ah, alright."[/color] She sighed, swallowing the last piece of the cake. [color=f6989d]"Ah, one thing I wanna get."[/color] She walked over to the counter again, ordering a large milkshake, with whipped cream and a cherry on it. To go, of course, and within a few minutes it was done and she was ready to go just as much as Iravis was. [color=f6989d]"Alright, we can go this'll last me for...another hour."[/color] She giggled, taking a rather long drink from the drink as she walked just a bit in front of the other girl. [color=f6989d]"Hey, we should do this again sometime. Maybe with our roommate if they show up!"[/color] [hr] [color=salmon]"I would enjoy venturing out again with you as my companion."[/color] If the demon was willing to feed her, then hell, Iravis would spend time with the annoying girl if she had to. Internally though, the Phoenix knew she had a good time. They headed back in silence for the most part and Iravis let Lyssa go when she returned. The Phoenix had a quick visit with Sir Alistar, which went as expected. Alistar asked Iravis questions she didn't know the answers to and they generally ended up discussing some other subjects as well. [hr] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3319437]Done Reading?
