[center] [h3][i][color=darkorchid]Eris Reinhardt[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wQwMjwu.png[/img] [/center] [color=darkorchid]"That was much more cathartic than I thought that it would be."[/color] Eris commented as she got back to her room. She had thought that Hildr wouldn't be here when she returned, her mother never was the type to sit in one place and mull idly and she could be doing other more productive endeavors (even if not all of them were, erm... savory activities); Eris didn't even bothered to comment on her mother's absence, though she considered if, one day, she would develop such a habit as well. Either way, [color=darkorchid]"You are not making much sense now, Cassandra but, I can see where this comes from. Which is funny, since I always wondered what it would be to be less individual. Then again, I guess that's how it's supposed to be; everyone longs for that which they don't have. That's what drove humanity forward for ages, conflict, the mother for evolution itself. Nevertheless, it seems that the era of humanity's progress is over, as a race, we stand to stagnate and die. All because cowards chose to hide themselves under the wings of a silver-faced god..."[/color] Eris said, perhaps sounding a bit more compassionate then she usually is, as she made her way to her room and began to undress, while talking to Cassandra. [color=darkorchid]"A god who stole our drive to live, to move forward. A creature that tamed the creator, like sheep, blissfully ignorant of everything even as they march to the slaughterhouse."[/color] [color=darkorchid]"The will of a single man has been enough to change the world many ties throughout history. Yet, even these persons, martyrs of their causes, can't guarantee success to any of their endeavors."[/color] Eris said, looking out of the window, to the city's skyline which faded slowly under the inexorable advance of the night's blanket. [color=darkorchid]"The only thing that a voice calling in the desert can do is reach others' ears. It has no power to compel them, or instill change, if the people doesn't wish to change. Perhaps, had I realized this before, a great deal of suffering might have been avoided?"[/color] [color=darkorchid]"Even then, mulling about the past will do no good. One can't change what has already happened, only strive -fight- for their vision of future, even if the whole world is their enemy. Success will most likely not come through one person's efforts; change takes time and blood to happen but, it doesn't mean that it's not worth fighting for. What's the point of being human, if we can't choose for ourselves? If we were so afraid of loss and pain, our race would still live on caves, eating raw food. Mankind was made to win, to dominate, ridiculous concepts such as Fate, no one will ever change the way how I think, even if I can never change the way how others do."[/color] [center]* * *[/center] [color=darkorchid]"Either way, Cassandra, I guess you are right, in more ways than one."[/color] Eris said as she picked her nightclothes and went to the shower, washing herself quickly, before coming back to the dining room to meet Cassandra again. [color=darkorchid]"I cannot avoid eating for a whole day. Furthermore, throwing away the food that you brought would be a major offense. One does not refuse gifts such as these unless there's a serious reason behind it. Let's eat; after that I plan to spend the night on Deep Ground and answer a certain someone's invitation."[/color] [color=darkorchid]"I would like if you could spend the night here. You can feel at home, though I'm afraid my clothes might not fit your... silhouette"[/color] Eris said, once again eyeing the difference between her and Cassandra's physiques, [color=darkorchid]"Also, we will have to share a bed, since this is an apartment designed for a single person. You don't care, do you, Cassandra?"[/color] [center] [h3][i][color=bf0147]Emma Fujioka[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/NcMIbBM.png[/img] [/center] [color=bf0147]"Y'know, Prez?"[/color] Emma said as Thomas took the ticket from her hand and asked her to let him go [color=bf0147]"You really do have a lot to learn about how to make company to a girl. Bluntness has it's charm points but,"[/color] Emma let go of Thomas' arm as he wished, just as Aaron was closing in on them and immediately pounced him, [color=bf0147]"There's only so much you can get with it."[/color] [color=bf0147]"Thank you, my noble knight!"[/color] Emma replied to Aaron before taking her drink back, finishing the rest of it in one gulp, [color=bf0147]"What do you say of coming to the cinema with us? Tonight's my treat, since I got these free tickets. And, after that, how about we go play for a bit? I have a good feeling about Deep Ground; with the servers going up again there should be a lot of easy EXP to cash in."[/color] [center] [h3][i][color=gold]Itsuko M. Kanzaki[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/php3EDZ.png[/img] [/center] [color=gold]"D-don't worry, Hibiki, other guy."[/color] Itsuko said to Hibiki and Asahi with a shaky, but more composed, voice. [color=gold]"That w-was already like this. I just fell on a b-bad position, that's all."[/color] Apparently she still hadn't noticed the presence of a certain purple-haired guardian that was standing a few steps away from her, as she said, [color=gold]"Also, you can't bandage my chest right in the mall's door, h-hehe. Anyway, I think that I'll not be going anywhere tonight, after that I need to catch a second wind... if you catch my drift."[/color] As soon as Huntress' voice reached Itsuko's ear, the blond turned around to look at her friend and caretaker, almost tackling Huntress as she jumped on her (despite the sore rib). [color=gold]"What are you doing here? I thought you've said you was going to come over later?"[/color] Itsuko said, practically clinging to Huntress' waist. [color=gold]"Anyway, this is Hibiki, she helped me at school and we're friends now."[/color] Itsuko said pointing to Hibiki, then at Huntress [color=gold]"And this is Huntress, the person I've been talking about, Hibiki."[/color] [center] [h3][i][color=deepskyblue]Absinthe Blue[/color][/i][/h3] [img]http://i.imgur.com/mw58hRp.png[/img] [/center] Absynthe took another look of Azure Panther, noticing a certain likeness between her and the Blue King, or better, with Maribel herself. So, there were people out there that had avatars that looked like their real selves, huh? Interesting... Either way, after acknowledging her mistake, Absynthe [color=deepskyblue]"Oh? You're really Bel, erm... Titania-sama's sister, huh? I'm sorry for not noticing it before; my HUD must be broken or something like this, ehehehe... Yeah, that! Anyway,"[/color] Absinthe said as she scuttled toward Azure Panther, almost glomping her, before continuing, [color=deepskyblue]"what can this servant do for you? Would you like to explore the Guild? Get some EXP? Or wait until our great King comes back from doing her... kingly stuff?"[/color] Absinthe waited for Azure Panther's reply silently, though her swishing tail, ear to ear blush, betrayed her eagerness.
