[IC] Fractions: A New Age

[MarshiestMallow]

Nessie blinked and looked up, then down, feeling embarrassed. "N-n-nothing" She muttered, but she frowned, blinking fast. "Y-you d-d-don't have to b-be so m-mean"

[wonderful_wolf_wizard]

Mason raised an eyebrow at this newcomer. "Uhh... Jeez dude, just 'cause you think it doesn't mean you need to say it." The ginger then turned to Nessie, "Uhmm.... I already ate, thanks; and don't listen to this guy, you're fine."

[MarshiestMallow]

"W-w-well that d-doesn't mean you have to b--b-be mean" Nessie said "n-n-n-n-Nessie" she returned to her food, eating quickly half starved

[wonderful_wolf_wizard]

"Umm.... Mason." he introduced himself. "Er.... what're your elements?"

[TheLastRunaway]

Adamaris
“Alexander.. I know you’re around here somewhere.” Her breathtaking voice lingered through the large halls before her melody like laugh filled the air. Her cosmic eyes looked side to side as she continued to stroll down the hall while her long dark hair swayed in thick waves down to her waist making her eyes completely striking. She was a site for sore eyes, her smile could kill along with her gentle like personality, she was beautiful.
“A new era beginning
Anxiously I’ll wait
But dawn is many moons

As blessed be
Carry the sun
A sunrise falls black

Enticing for night
My love
With extraordinary luck”

[chukklehed]

Alex slowly stepped out of one of the doorways down the hall. Eyes wide, his face showed the only real emotion they had for almost 20 years. For a few moments, he stared in disbelief, trying to understand what he was seeing. Finally, he opened his mouth and said one word. "Admaris?"

[TheLastRunaway]

She turned around swiftly, her eyes meeting his with a warm welcome. "Hello, Alexander." Her smile could stun a foe for how bright and angelic it proposed to be. Her dress was long and black with celestial patters near the bottom where it shined like diamonds. She took a few steps towards him but soon felt how tense his aura was, her smile softened and she stopped in her place watching him closely. She had remembered the broken hearted boy she had found years ago, ready to adventure the world with enthusiasm but the war had deterred his hopes that she wished to return to him. She put her hand up with her pinky finger up and then swishing it in a 'J' shape, saying she had kept her pinky promise to return.

[chukklehed]

Alexander raised his hand halfway, but hesitated. After a moment her dropped it again, eyes downcast. "You might have kept your promise Addie, but I'm not sure I did. After you left, I... I couldn't... I did..." He looked up agai, and for a mement he was a ten year old boy again, appoligizing to his only friend. "I'm sorry Admaris, I'm not the same person you knew before."

[TheLastRunaway]

She laughed under her breath and made her way over to him quickly before cupping his cheek in to her hand. Her eyes glistened in to his as she looked long and hard in to his eyes before smiling brightly again. "Like I said, hello Alexander." She searched in his eyes once more before dropping her hand and creating space between them. "Do not think it is too late to keep your promise. The night does not appear unless motivated by it's loyal dreamers." Her heart squeezed, she knew he was no longer the same boy and wished it hadn't been true. He had been so loving, so full of life but this life has made him hard as stone.

[chukklehed]

Alex stared at her for a few moments, then gave her a true smile. "I hope you're right. Welcome home Addie, I've been waiting." He didn't tell her he had given up long ago, both on her and himself, but he felt she knew anyway.

[TheLastRunaway]

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and squealed playfully. "That's all I've been waiting to here." She let go but held on to her shoulders while she looked around the room. "So this is it huh? Where is everyone? I want to see some new face." She turned to run off before turning back and cupping his cheek. "Not that I don't love seeing your face." She laughed sweetly before turning back again. She went to walk towards wherever before she gasped and turned back, her eyes were wide and dazzling as her fingers covered her gaped mouth. "Ice cream?" She had almost jumped out of her body and ran around as a soul to find ice cream.

James walked through the halls for a little while his mind racing wildly about maybe trying to escape this horrible place, "GOD!" He kicked a wall and sat down hard on the floor. Hope licked his face trying to make him feel better, "Stop it Hope..." He hugged her and closed his eyes, "What am I gonna do when you don't need me anymore?" A tear rolled down James's face and he lit up that old cigar from his pocket and took in one long drag, "This is hell isn't it Hope?" Hope whined softly, "Hell...and everyone here is like me...Wind trapped in a glass." James stood up and brushed himself off before deciding he wanted something to eat, he walked into the dinning area and ordered a loaf of bread and an apple. He split them both in half and went to sit down, seeing Nessie he went and sat near her, "Whats up Nes?" He took a big bite of his apple and took another drag of that Cigar, "I miss anything good?" Hope climbed up into the chair next to his and ate her apple and bread.

[chukklehed]

Alex smiled again and held out his arm to her. "This way, my lady." And walked with her to the dining room. Once they got there, he felt immediately self conscious and subconsciously slipped back into his persona. The muscles in his arm tensed and his smile became empty. Looking towards Nyx again, he tried too relax.

[MarshiestMallow]

Nessie smiled and shook her head "n-not r-really" she said with a shrug "j-just eating buh-buh-buh-breakfast. This is m-m-m-mason by the way" she waved to mason "this is J-John I t-think. he's r-r-rude" she finished off her toast, before starting on the bacon and finishing her coffee.she shifted to pet hope smiling

[TheLastRunaway]

Her excitement made her look childish but her smile reigned on anyone who had been in the room once they walked in to the dining room. The stars dazzled in her scarlet/sapphire eyes as she looked around and the few unfamiliar faces as they walked in to the room. She looked back to wrap herself around Alex until his tension practically slapped her in the face. She glanced up at him confused before looking away before he could look at her. Her heart tightened more, this wasn't the feeling she expected to return to. He was not just tense, but cold his aura surrounded her like thick fog and she almost cringed but she continued to smile as she made her way to the counter. "May I have ice cream, something--" She paused and looked back at Alexander. "What is the word for.. sweet? But like.. the juicy plants sweet?" Her face scrunched up with the puzzle in her head. Her vocabulary not always being so keen.

[makarov]

James nodded to mason and John, "Really how so?" James took another bite of apple and looked at John, "He didn't make fun of you did he?" James might have looked threatening if his face wasn't full of apple, and if hope weren't stealing his bread while he wasn't looking. "Cause that would be ill advised."

[wonderful_wolf_wizard]

Mason waved at the newcomer; and the dog, especially the dog. He looked at Nessie to answer that, best not to answer people's questions for them.

[MarshiestMallow]

"J-just s-a-a-a-said-" Nessie shifted and looked at James, she tried to mimic John"what is going on with this one" she didn't stutter as she mimicked John, but then she continued "m-made me f-f-feel like I w-w-was...I d-d-don't k-know demented or a-s-something"

She smiled at Hope and laughed as the dog tried to steal the bread
