Kenny jolted up from his sleep from the announcement that informed the students about their living conditions. At first he was wondering why was he in this area until he noticed Sol fight being displayed on a screen. Kenny yawned and scratched his head getting up from his little spot walking over to the bar. As he reached the bar he sat in the most secluded spot he could find soon raising his hand to get the bartender's attention. When she had the time Kenny asked her for a drink that she'd prefer and reverted his attention back to Sol's exam. Spectating such a spectacular match made Kenny feel bad by how terrible his match went. Just by watching the fight that was displayed before him inspired him to become stronger. Kenny glued his eyes to Sol's exam his sniper reappearing on his back from how amped he was getting.
@TheHangedMan Aleksandra gave Meruin a quick glance as the girl stepped into the bathroom with her. "I have some right here as long as you don't mind the smell of raspberry and mint" she said after hearing Meruin inquire about some soap and shampoo. Aleksandra had taken the ribbons out of her hair that help it up in her twin tail style and began to shake it out, when she was done Aleksandra was left with a mess of almost knee length hair which she began to clean with the raspberry scented shampoo.
It always took a little longer to wash her hair than Aleksandra would like but eventually it was covered in suds and she prepared to rinse off. Her tenseness slowly melted away until even her aura began to look softer instead of the jagged form it had taken earlier. "So Meruin..." Aleksandra started but interrupted herself with pouring a bucket of cool water over her face and down her back "what do you think of this school so far?" Aleksandra asked in an attempt to start a conversation.
She smiled softly as she looked at her schedule. "I have First period: Alchemy Second period: Rituals Third period: Free Fourth period: Elements Class Fifth period: Free Sixth period: Summoning Seventh period: Enchanting Eighth period: Sealing
Which means that we will have rituals,summoning, enchanting and sealing together..... I guess that I should tell you of a quirk that I have and can't control yet.
My emotions are reflected by my ability of weathermastery. Did you notice the air getting a bit warmer in here?" she asked in an unsure voice.
Chen heard the bartenders comment and blushed. "I'm not interested in dating yet. Even if I was, I don't date people who aren't as strong as me, no offense. It's a personal rule of mine." Chen remarked to the bartender and Sandra. He noticed Kenny and smiled. "Hey there roommate! Have a nice nap?" Chen asked in a somewhat mocking tone. He then had a sudden realization. "Hey, did anyone beat their test proctors?" He asked everyone still in the bar.
Sol's acrobatic feat of dodging his blow earned him a blow against the Man, however, he used arm to block the incoming blow, with the blade cutting deeply into the limb and drawing blood, yet with no visible reaction on his part. As he blocked with that arm, he leaned into it while simultaneously lifting his hip and leg up for a crescent-moon kick to the upside down Sol's midsection, intent on sending him down into the ground. If he went down flat, then Sol would find himself facing the shadow of a falling axe towards his neck.
@The ghost in black Meruin nodded. "raspberry and mint is acceptable," she said. All in all, she did not really have any strong preferences for how she smelled, so long as it was pleasant on the nose. Though she did have a soft spot for cinnamon and honey, which were Master and Mistress Chase's preferred soaps, respectively. Borrowing the shampoo for a minute, Meruin scrubbed her hair until it was covered in suds. She kept her eyes shut tight, much like a child did, while grasping around blindly for the pale.
"This is a waste of . . ." muttered Meruin, who then drew a rune above her head. It glowed blue for a moment before a strong burst of water gushed out from it.
When the torrent subsided, Meruin coughed: "Pft pft, blugh, I think I ingested some there. Unpleasant. Anyway, I think the schools has been . . . exciting so far." Her thoughts went back to her battle with her proctor, and she smiled a bit. "I'm hoping the trend continues." @floodtalon
"Well, that's a difficult attitude to have for romance; what if you turn out to be the strongest one around here? You'd never find a partner like that," commented the bartender while cleaning out a glass. "Though I have to admit, I am kind of curious to what kind of girl would catch your fancy, given the attitude."
Sol let out a grin of elation as he once again drew blood from his opponent. Short-lived, as he was quickly kicked out the air and sent crashing roughly to the ground. He quickly tried to re-orient himself and felt an overwhelming sense of death. Purely on reflex Sol wildly swung his sword upwards smashing into the axe coming for his head. His own arm was slammed into the ground from the force but the axe was diverted just enough that it crashed into the ground above his head. Veins full of excitement and adrenaline Sol leapt to his feet away from the axe-man regaining his ground and watching for the next attack. This fight was almost over. Sol could feel his body trembling from a mix of exertion, damage, and excitement. Even though he'd only been technically hit twice he could feel his arms shaking from the strength of the blows. He only had a few moves left before he ran out of strength, Sol anticipated only being able to take one more hit from the man before his body gave out.
Kenny's attention was soon caught by his roommate. "The nap was good." He replied in a friendly tone complimenting his response with a smile. A smile the quickly turned into a not so happy facial expression. "Sadly I didn't defeat my opponent. It seems I'm not physically or magically prepared for what was displayed. How about you? Did you concure your exam, Chen?" Kenny asked resting his head on the counter his arms supporting his head like a pillow.
"i look forward to our classes together" He returned her gaze "and I did feel it get warmer, and i felt it warmer closer to you, quite pleasant actually" He tilted his head "you mean to say that your mood will affect your control of weather?" He grinned curiously "so, what does the warmth mean then?"
Chen shook his head and shrugged. "I'm sure there's someone in the world who's as strong as me. Or at least close." He looked at Kenny and chuckled. "I actually did beat my proctor. Then the test continued and I was killed by dozens of electric eels." Chen stopped for a moment after he finished and his eyes went glossy. "Whoa. I died." His eyes refocused and he laughed at the absurdity of the situation.
@TheHangedMan "Well that's good...." Aleksandra said with a small giggle at the way Meruin seemed to wash her self almost like a younger child; She then looked at the rune that had appeared over the girl's head "That must be very useful being able to just make runes for everything huh?" she said motioning above her head after dumping another bucket of water over her head in an attmpt to get all the suds out of her hair.
After collecting more water she began to mix in the mint soap in the bucket before dipping a loofah into it. The cleaning device sat in the faintly scented mixture until it was soft before Aleksandra picked it up and began to wash herself stating with her face and working her way down to her feet. "I really needed this, I mean its been an eventful day, hell I even died a few times" she said with a stretch that caused her back to pop as well as her shoulders.
@floodtalon @TheHangedMan Sandra's head was going wild listening to the discussion between the bartender and Chen "Dating, parnter? do-do they mean like a girlfriend." She said ever so quietly for a minute or so as her head raced among her head causing her face to turn a rose red in a blush "Im not interested!" The girl shouted coming to the wrong conclusion and lashed aimed to slash one sword at Chen and another at the bartender but it failed. Her blades did not summon meaning her lashing forward would look like a stupid gesture to the people who saw it.
Agatha pulled out a sheet of paper out of her purse and held it out to Kieran. "This is the list that has happened to me so far. I don't know if there will be more or not. I never went to school so this is all new to me. I stayed home and did homeschooling.
I hope that we can be friends and enjoy what classes we have together. Now if you look at the list, you will see the emotion Embarrassment. And take a look at Nervousness....." she finished.
A grey mist was surrounding her body and it was still overly warm around her.
My emotions could show up in the surrounding area of my body. This area is called My Aura. My Aura extends two feet around me except in my extreme emotions then as far as I have experience, My Aura could extend up to five foot circle. Anyone within My Aura Circle, can and will experience the Weather that is happening at that moment.
Anger- miffed and not speaking- storm cloud begins to form over my head Speaks angrily- cloud rumbles Verbally lashes out- lightning flashes and might hit something Arguing- Cloud darkens, rumbles and lightning flashes and might hit whoever I am angry with Anger that leaves me speechless- black clouds that drenches everything within a five foot radius
Ashamed- Heat surrounds me but it does not go any further than two feet around and not warmer than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. My face will turn from pink (slight embarrassment) and around 70 degrees Fahrenheit to anything that may be taken as a sexual content ( totally red faced and 100 degrees Fahrenheit)
Bewildered-unsettled feeling- Turbulence surrounds me but no wind above 7 MPH.
Bored- dead air surrounds mybody- no circulation of air around me for about 3 feet.
Calm- The air is normal and no Aura is showing
Cold- Physically-Cold air surrounds my body depending how cold I feel- if I am outside in the snow without a coat, I might even have ice forming on my body as my body turns blue.
Cold Shoulder/ intense dislike- a frosty air surrounds her body between the one I have taken a dislike to and myself
Confused- Haze surrounds my body making it difficult for me to see or be seen clearly.
Cranky/ Grumpy – there would be a grey haze that would be surrounding my body and if I have a physical discomfort with the crankiness, small bits to pea size hail might form even though it is humid around me
Curious- Rainbow bits of light float around her body in the air surrounding my body
Desire/Want- Small bits of rainbow colors move in a straight line from my body and back again. The More I want something, faster the bits move back and forth.
Disappointed- humidity begins to form around me for about two feet
Embarrassment- - Heat surrounds me but it does not go any further than two feet around and not warmer than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. My face will turn from pink (slight embarrassment) and around 70 degrees Fahrenheit to anything that may be taken as a sexual content ( totally red faced and 90 degrees Fahrenheit)
Energetic- electrical sparks float around my body and if a spark hits someone it would only sting.
Excited- electrical sparks float around her body faster than in the energetic mode and if a spark hits someone it would only sting.
Frustrated- Bits of hail would fall around me. Hail size could grow up to a marble or pearl onion if my frustration is great or prolonged.
Happy- Warmth with a bit of a Sunshiney glow surrounding my body and could give off a soft glow of light.
Hungry- thunder rumbles ; loudness depending how hungry I am
Lonely- stillness to dead air surrounding me for about two feet and may become muggy as well.
Mischievous- Small Ball lightning of various colors (pea sized) would surround my body which could start tiny fires that can be stomped out.
Nervousness- a misty grey Aura surrounds my body
Sadness- a blue cloud that darkens until I burst out crying and it rains around my body
Scared- bits of darker colors swirl around my body and lightening may show up as well.
Sleepy- Dense fog surrounds and my speech becomes slurred depending on how sleepy I am at the time. It could even spread throughout a five foot radius if I am trying to fight the sleepiness for some reason.
Kieran took the paper and looked at it, his eyes stopping at the emotions she mentioned and comparing it to what he felt and saw around her. if it was just nervousness he would've assumed it was about the her first days at school, but with it mixed with embarrassment well...he wasn't sure what to make of it. He eyed her before asking "do i...make you nervous?"
"Hm, you've lasted two hits now; that's usually enough to kill first-time students. You've done suitably well, but I wonder if you can last a third hit?"
The Man was musing with his gigantic axe resting head-first on the ground. Chuckling to himself, he hefted the large axe and positioned it to his side, ready to swing. He placed a leg forward and leaned slightly, gripping the handle of the axe, and locking eyes with Sol, ready as he was to finish this.
Before he charged, the Man gave him a small, childish grin. "Just so you know, you had already passed your exam when Mr. Altaaya fainted earlier; everything after that was simply me satisfying our mutual battle-lust."
Then he charged, taking most of the ground with him as he kicked it up in a sudden, powerful pounce. Now once again behind Sol, this time his axe was actually in front of him, rotating rapidly. The Man had thrown the axe at Sol, right before moving behind him in an explosive burst of speed. His fist curled downwards in a sharp uppercut, aiming to pound his spine into dust.
@floodtalon & @Dash375 "Yeah, well I'm pretty sure there are as well, but it's findin' 'em that's the kicker," commented the bartender. Finished cleaning the glasses, the bartender took a seat on high stool, propping her legs on an ice box and listening intently on everyone's conversations, while at the same time keeping an eye on the monitors. She tilted her head slightly as Sandra had her little outburst, and gave Sandra a truly shit-eating grin.
"Aw, well, sure, if you say so, I'll believe ya," drawled the bartender, in a sarcastic, smug way that made it plain that she did not believe her. "I mean, it's totally normal for your face ta be all red like that when you're not interested, yep!" @The ghost in black Meruin shook the excess water out from her hair, and wiped off the water dripping to her eyes and blinking them open. "Yes, they're fairly useful, though I have a bit of difficulty tuning their use to mundane matters. I wonder how Master does it . . ."
Lost in thoughts, Meruin began scrubbing herself down with Aleksandra's soap, before abruptly stopping and placing the soap down cautiously. Turning a bit so she could look at Aleksandra, she eyed her in a vaguely intrusive manner, starting from top to bottom, at every nook-and-cranny, and from every angle. She raised a brow.
"You are very healthy looking for a dead person. Are you a zombie or ghoul perhaps? Because if you are, I'm afraid I can't share cleaning agents with you; safety matters, you understand. It's quite unhygienic to share such things with the living dead," said Meruin frankly. "The same goes for the kitchen and beds. I may have to place barriers around them just to ensure that you don't accidentally infect them."
Chen leaned back away from Sandra's strike and smirked. "Oh my. It appears as if we have a tsundere on our hands." He looked at the bartender and chuckled. "She's just embarrassed. And lying to herself."
"Well then I thank you for that." said cordially as ever as he waited for his opponents next move. Then Sol nearly did a double take as he realized the weapon, and most of the floor, was coming towards him without a man behind it. As the man wasn't in his peripherals he could only conclude that the axeman was behind him. Which left him to evaluate his threats. Blocking the axe was impossible, with the rotation speed and fatigue he already had the axe would tear through his defense and leave him vulnerable to the doubtless incoming attack from behind besides. That narrowed it down to dealing with the man himself, there was no way he could block man's attack with his body and only possible with his sword, once again leaving himself unable to defend from the axe.
Then it seemed it was do or die time. Letting out a fierce yell Sol turned away from the axe and rushed to the man behind him. As he turned he found the man's fist already plummeting towards towards his head at this point. That meant the man must've been aiming for his spine or neck given their positions now. Regardless he considered his next move in a matter of moments between moments. He had one last chance to score a blow. It must be lethal as possible, stomach? Too slow a death. Throat? Too risky as well as too awkward to reach. The heart? Most dangerous point to strike in least amount of time with most strength.
Sol shifted his body to the side as he moved forward, not enough to move out of the way, but now the man's fist would hit his shoulder instead of anything more vital. On the other hand Sol's sword lunged directly where the man's heart if he had a normal human anatomy, which admittedly wasn't guaranteed. But with no more time to consider and death getting closer every second Sol committed to the thrust that would decide the battle. He knew the man would hit his shoulder with most likely bone-shattering force and the axe would hit at nearly the same time. Oh well, either's Sol's sword would find it's target or he would be defeated then and there. Maybe even both. At least he knew he had passed his exam regardless and more importantly had a good fight.
Agatha smiled as she nodded. "I am a bit nervous because I never been around males very much except for my two older brothers. I also have two older sisters. But because of my ability I was kept home. In fact, I had my own wing and yard.
I sneaked peeks at my sisters boyfriends though. Which is how I got my own kitchen and from then on I couldn't spy on them.
Do you have brothers or sisters? What was your life like?"
Agatha was trying to calm herself so that her Aura would calm down. Then she would look like any normal human being...kinda.... but of course she could hide her ears. But the ears always somehow find their way out of any hair style... for the ears. Just enjoy your new room! Agatha thought to herself.
"I...I've no siblings, life for me was, er, different..." He trailed off and glanced to the side awkwardly. He looked for a way to change the topic and looked at her again, noticing her ears weren't like the human's, his were different as well but he doubted it was for the same reason. He did, however, forget to voice that into a question and instead just looked at her ears curiously.
@TheHangedMan@floodtalon@Slendy "S-shut up. You guys were spouting all that rubbish and I got the wrong idea and got embarrassed and it led to this." Her words sped up more and more as her face stayed the same red though this time from the embarrassment of what she did rather then being flirted with. Sandra rose her head and would over to Kenny "Why hey there, did you just summon that gun? What does it do?" She asked curiously trying to block out the other two as she tried to learn more about him.
Agatha looked Kieran and smiled. "My ears come from an ancient genetic line. I have Dark Elf blood or so I am told. I have also fairy blood and wizard blood. The Magick has skipped a few generations. My Father is not pleased about it but without Mother's money, he would be nothing. It is hidden away where no one can get it. There are other skeletons that I don't feel like talking about at the moment."
Agatha began to unpack her belongings. Her Aura became a pale blue with small swirls. She was also biting her lip as she unpacked. Soon the sound of rumbling thunder could be heard as if it was far off in the distance.
Unsure- My Aura becomes a pale blue in color with white swirls. The darker the blue the more unsure I am.
