[IC] Fractions: A New Age

[TheLastRunaway]

Nyx blinked at the group that already began to cause a ruckus, she quickly became annoyed and walked herself in the middle of the group nonchalantly. "It sounds like we're all going to have to live with one another for a while so don't you think you should really try getting along." Her eyes glared around the room. Not really the introduction she wanted but she had been ripped out of her home and taken to this place. "I don't know about all of you but I am hungry and I will burn this place to the ground to find food." She looked around once more, her look soften and she almost smiled before taking the large hall that said "West."

A small amount of wind started spinning around James and Hope and then it started crackling with energy as it filled with an electrical charge, "LIsten Elpis...Don't start something you aren't fully prepared to finish!" James pet Hope lovingly, "You people are all the same...families and homes you came from...people you miss right? This dog...Is my family." James let the wind die down, "Don't ever think I'm someone you can push around Elpis..." his bright blue eyes seemed to play on something dangerous, "And another thing...I wasn't even talking to you when i said Tornado...i was joking to myself." and a dark smile formed across his lips, "Besides i wonder how well your tsunami would do against a real storm."

Caroline shrugged and let go of the knife, guiding the water as it melted into her half full canteen. "I wasn't really gonna hurt him. Probably." She grinned at Celia. "But food does sound good. Wanna come?" Turning her head, she called out to the boy they had been sitting with. "You too dandelion boy. Wanna join us?"

[Emoteen]

"Sure, just give me a sec!"
I call back with a smile, Then approach James cautiously
"You want to come with us?"

Ryan just watched as the two were about to go at it. Ah, from one point it was all sappy, and now it was getting a bit exciting. Luckily a chick was attempting to calm both of them down. Maybe he should put his two cents down... "Yeah, while a fight would be pretty damn fun... I'm not too fond of having a tsunami and a tornado in the same room I'm in. Although, it would probably give the interior design of this place an improvement.. " After all, the damn place was filled with broken furniture, and the ground was littered with cinder bricks. "So you know... calm down. Besides you know, there's a bunch of people in here that I'm sure want to live? You two included? The dog too maybe? Look, if we just all eat, we'll be laughing about this after a few minutes..."

[makarov]

James breathed in hard and pet Hope softly, "hey Elpis...Sorry for being an ass." Hope nudged the back of his leg as if to tell him to go on, "We're all stressed, I'm no exception. Besides if fire, ice, water, and earth can make such beautiful art together...Imagine what Wind and sparks would look like mixed into all that." James's eyes had an apologetic glow in them, "I owe you...so I'm sorry."

Celia nodded at Caroline silently, glad that the room was calmed down slightly. She really hoped they would be able to get along now. After all, they would be living with one another now and she thought it would be nice if people weren't getting into fights left and right. However, given that the room was filled with different element users, there was bound to be some tension. She just hoped it wouldn't escalate further than that.

[C W St J Nobbs]

Bonzo stood off by himself, watching the two square off. He would have appreciated a good fight. He probably would have joined in, if for no other reason then to work off some frustration. Being drugged and kidnapped wasn't the best way to start off the day, but he guessed everyone in that room had being drugged and kidnapped in common, so it would be a good conversation starter. The tension in the room seemed to be mellowing out, but he could still hope. He took a step towards the others, intending to start talking to someone. Better late than never, he figured.

[TheLastRunaway]

Nyx turned to see the group following behind her and couldn't help but smile but soon turned ahead to not make any further notions to the group. She liked being alone and if she could be alone she would be. At the end of the hall opened to a larger space where doors were stretched along the walls on two floors with numbers written on the top of them, down the stairs in the front was what looked like an open library. She stopped at the entrance of the building confused. "This place is a school?"

Z jumped down from the top floor in front of the group with a muse look on his face. "Good catch, Doll face." He placed his hands on his hips and laughed. "Just because you are here doesn't mean we're going to let you become stupid, you will have regular classes like school but gym is a little.. twisted." His smiled curled up before he winked at another girl in the group before walking past them all and disappearing back down the hall.

[SomeoneSomewere]

Austin glanced at the girl that approached him, his face not changing from its pervious, non emotional face. Just as quickly as she approached, she walked away to defuse the situation. Just when it was getting fun. With a shake of his head he walked towards the west wing, avoiding the group of people also heading there. He intended to not become friends with them, because he didn't trust them and was determined to never do so.

[chukklehed]

Caroline sighed and nodded. "I guess I was a bit jumpy too. Like I always say, it takes two to argue." She held out her hand. "Let's chalk this event up to 'never happened' and move on, right?" When they shook, she got a mischievous glint in her eye. "Although, if you ever want to find out which of us is really stronger, I wouldn't object to a sparring match." and with that she turned back to Ciel. "Well, what are we all waiting for? We might as well follow that girl, whoever she was."

[Emoteen]

Tat
I watch them shake hands, a bit impressed with how quickly the issue resolved itself.

[makarov]

A smile formed on James's lips again, "I wouldn't mind that." He hadn't meant for it to sound flirtatious but it came out that way. Hope was staring at him with her head cocked to the side, "Quiet you." James started walking with the others, upon seeing that it was a school James sighed, "Never been to school before...Homeless guy taught me to read for six apples a day." He laughed a little but underneath James knew he sounded like a tragedy. James got closer to Carol and the other girl, "I'm James by the way...This here's hope." Hope let out a slight bark and wagged her tail, She was a large mix of what looked like shepherd and boxer, but she had a kind look to her...like a nurse hound.

John watched as the man semi explained this place to them and then left. He looked around at the others. He seemed to be one of the few who came from money. most of the others wore clothes that were nothing like his obviously expensive flannel shirt and jeans. These were the clothes he had had before the war. Before clothes became the last thing he worried about. He followed close behind the girl who was leading them to food and he soon fell into stride next to her. "You seem pretty chill with this place. Isn't any of this freaking you out?" he asked as the man walked away, having just explained that they'd still have school. Great he couldn't even get away from that boring hellhole.

[XxLyraxX]

Celia followed after Caroline and the others. When she heard James speak up next to her and Caroline she turned and gave him a shy smile. She looked down at Hope and almost squealed at how cute she was. The girl leaned down and started petting the dog, a large smile on her face. It took her a minute for her brain to catch up with her and for to realize that she was petting someone's else's dog without their permission and that she was probably being rude. She froze and looked up at James with wide eyes. "S-Sorry." She stammered and she went to pull her hand away.

[TheLastRunaway]

Nyx turned to the boy next to her, not noticing him catching up to her until his voice shot in to her ear. She continued to walk back down to the main lobby as he questioned her, she chewed the side of her lip before looking back to the lobby. She hadn't noticed how calm she had been, she had actually felt relief from it all except her little sisters crying still played in her mind. She took a deep breath while keeping her eyes forward. "I don't know, at first I thought they were going to kill me or that I was already dead so it was a relief to open my eyes." She clipped her words off as if there was more to say but she decided to leave it at that. No reason to throw her, My mother hates me and locked me in her stupid castle while she played the bitchy dragon. She smiled to herself picturing her mother as a ugly dragon but soon collected herself. "I mean, what more can we do?" She finally turned to look at him.

[smarty0114]

John smiled as the girl relayed her feelings about their new "home. "That's really optimistic. Me, I might think of it as my parents were a little too eager to get rid of me. But then again I was eager to leave," John said. Talking about his parents made him think about Roger. What was his twin brother doing right now. They had been almost inseperable since birth and now they were who knows how far away. God damn all the Nexus and the Sethos for this stupid war and those stupid extermination camps. Why couldn't he have just been a normal elemental like Roger. Nothing to worry about. Suddenly John snapped back to reality and looked at the girl with his deep, cyan eyes. "I'm John by the way. John Elliot of Elpis."

[TheLastRunaway]

She wanted to stop and throw her hands up in the air and yell 'Tell me about it!' as he mentioned his parents getting rid of him so quickly. Her mom had practically skipped to put her clothes in the bag while her father wept and held her close. Her heart sank, she already missed him.She blinked as he introduced himself, his smile was warm and welcoming which made her return a smile back to him. She finally stopped in the middle of the lobby again. "I am Nyx.. Just Nyx. Of Elpis as well." She looked around and saw the words North and decided to try that path next, she started slowly to see if John would follow her.

[smarty0114]

"Nice to meet you Nyx," John said. He notice that they were back in the lobby and now Nyx was slowly heading North, almost as if she wanted to see if he was on board. Sure. At least someone had an idea of where they were going, even if it was a bit vague. His stomach growled as they began trekking north and he wondered how long it had been since he'd been dragged out of his home, his brother screaming profanities at the elementals who had him captive.

[TheLastRunaway]

She continued down till large doors stood in front of them, with one heave she was able to push the door open. The room was huge like the classrooms, Flat screens were posted everywhere with cozy chairs and couches, rooms were on the second floor going up four stories. She could already smell the food and smiled while quickly walking in it's direction. A dining room became visible to the right where a piano sat on the side while large windows looked out to water? Where in the heck were they, she couldn't care she was hungry and it smelt like real food was being made. "I am so hungry i could eat a horse." She grumbled before walking up to the robot and asked for a basket of curly fries and a large pop, she practically wiggled with excitement. She was going to eat actual food!
