[IC] Anime High School

[KimHanuel]

Lori arrives, panting, she sees Jackelyn sitting there and smiles at her.

[CallaLily180]

Jackelyn looks up at the girl and smiles back. "Hello there." She gets up and offers the girl a hand. "I'm Jackelyn and you are?"

[Morric]

Collapsing against the wall of the hallway, slumber overtakes the student, submerging her into the darkness of dreams. This dream wasn't like the others. It wasn't as surreal and abstract. Several moments passed before Blithe found herself standing in the middle of a deep dark forest, surrounded by tall tree's that reached into the sky. Beneath her, an old gravel path winding between the tree's. Ahead of her, off in the distance, was a small glint of white. Better inspection would reveal a small piece of paper attached loosely to a tree with something scribbled across it.

[BlitheCrescent]

Blithe shrugs. Reaper dreams, though uncommon, were often different. Blithe walked down the path, her left arm shifting into her Nightmare arm, simply because she had no other form of weapon. Whatever was here, she was ready to be prepared for it, dream or not.

[Krein]

The demon turns even though Raphael was still facing forward. It parries the strike with the metal shackles about its wrists before counter attacking with a powerful backhand strike. The attack was infused with dark energy, the effect being one of a vitality draining spell. Raphael turns to fire a stream of dark energy from his hands.

"Don't flatter yourself," Raphael spoke in a distorted voice. "You have hundreds of years of training, I have millennia worth of knowledge, and how to use it."

[BlitheCrescent]

Noctis quickly dodges the strike, reflecting the stream with her sword. With another disappearance, she appears a few feet away, her sword ready in a defensive stance. "Then....show me what you can do."

[KimHanuel]

Lori smiled at her. "I'm Lori."

[Morric]

Written across the weathered page were the words, what's its name? scrawled in black ink as if written frantically or in a rush. Blithe certainly wasn't alone. Something was here with her. Something watching from the forest. There was a presence here that had been here for ages of untold time. It had been so long since another had found the hollows of this dream born forest. Though no words were spoken, Blithe felt as though someone was saying hello to her. Someone or something. The feeling itself was like having ice ran over ones spine.

[CallaLily180]

"Lori, that is a nice name." Jackelyn drops her hand and walks towards her. "So um...can I have a tour of the school?"

[KimHanuel]

Lori blushes ever so slightly. "Thank you. And...yeah, sure! Everyone else is outside." She leads Jackelyn outside.

[BlitheCrescent]

Blithe reads the words, then turns, trying to find to figure out exactly where the other being is. She would try to dip into the spirit realm, but fails. "Hello?"

[Krein]

Raphael smirks as his demonic avatar disappears from his body. It suddenly appeared behind Noctis, seizing her in a crushing grip as it dug its claws into her body. It sank its fangs into her shoulder, leaving a type of spiritual sickness within her. Vitality would drop, which coupled with the demon's aura of debilitation, would provide a degrading effect to Raphael's enemy.

[CallaLily180]

Jackelyn follows her outside. "So how does this school function?"

[BlitheCrescent]

Noctis laughs, slipping away from the Demon. "Oh, is that all?" The wounds would not have near the effect on her that they might on others. She slashes her sword at the air, sending a powerful energy wave directly at Raphael.

[KimHanuel]

Lori shrugged. "I honestly have no clue," she said, laughing.

[CallaLily180]

Jackelyn nods and continues to walk with Lori. "What are your powers?"

[Morric]

Something tall and shrouded in pitch darkness loomed behind the young girl as she read over the paper. When she turned, the entity was gone. Several moments of ominous silence passed before something finally became visible to Blithe. In the distance, standing amongst the tree's, was a tall and thin figure. It's features were hidden by shadows and it's form appeared to bare a suit. It felt as if the entity was asking her to come closer despite there being no words.

[KimHanuel]

Lori suddenly tensed a bit. "I'm...a Fallen Angel..." she said, looking strangely worried.

[BlitheCrescent]

Blithe grins a bit. "Want me to follow the white rabbit, eh? Alright." She walks towards the figure.

[CallaLily180]

Jackelyn just nods and smiles. "I can control electricity." She says still smiling, then she creates a ball of electricity to show Lori.
