Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Mia tilted her head looking at the door to room 69 curiously, the idea of sharing a room with a guy was rather unsettling, but she rationalized it by deciding that they would split the room in half and he wouldn't be allowed to cross over to her side. It was a nice concept but she wasn't sure she'd honestly be able to enforce it just yet, but he seemed like a well enough guy to follow her one simple requested. Taking a deep breath she pushed open the door taking in the rather spacious room, it was bigger then the doorway led on to be, but after all what else did you expect from a magic endowed academy. Walking in she looked around taking in the simple yet elegant decor, deciding to take the bed closest to the window setting her bags down on the adjacent desk, quickly and efficiently setting up what little scrolls and books she had brought with her. They wouldn't stay organized for long but for now it seemed that they would hold.

Jumping slightly at the sound of voice greeting her, causing her to spin around from her desk blinking a few times before registering that she would have to start living with someone else for the time being, "Ah! H-hello again.." She muttered softly in reply, trying not to laugh at the look of surprise mimicked on his face shaking her head she tilted it slightly again looking at him curiously, as he started to berate himself. "U-ummm would you like to go get lunch..?" She offered figdetly wanting out of the room, feeling slightly uneasy at being alone in a room, it wasn't the same as before, this was a much more personal setting. To distract herself she pulled up a diagram of the school, realizing the cafeteria wasn't as far away from their dorm and that the library was close as well perhaps she would stop by there later.

I'm better(ish) now, and yeahh trying to write a research paper when all I wanted to do was sleep wasn't fun at all.
I have a week till spring break, and then a month before I'm done with this semester, so not too much longer.

Always nice to come back to a burning forest though.

Sorry!

Being sick while having midterms is the worst..

Of Fire and Wind

A soft giggle echoed once more from the flower child, as she clapped brightly at the sight of the single white flower, forgetting briefly about her companions or the fact that she was turning invisible.

Eveline set off towards the edge of the mushroom teetering dangerously close to the edge as she reached out straining to at least grab hold of the branch, solely focused on that flowers she continued to ignore the rising heat and smell of fire in the air. At most it stirred a memory of home, of her mother drying herbs over the fire, a pleasant smile making its way across her lips.

Being that far out on the edge, she caught sight of the small glimmering blue flowers, wanting to collect those too, before returning to the task at hand, not being able to see her hand was rather strange but she could feel it there as it if were normal, the fire roared and the others had seemed to be fussing over the sharp twang of an arrow hitting the dead tree.

But all that was miles away from the small girl, all she saw was the flower and the desire to have it, it seemed wrong, the thought of leaving it felt wrong to her, so there she was once more balanced between the mushroom and the branch, before jumping slightly, and as her hand curled around the stem of the flower the world went dark for a brief second.

The sharp snap of the string as the lantern broke loose was echoed by the soft thud of the girl hitting the mushroom below, a lot seemed to happen at once.

Staring at the flower she grinned at it still retained its shine from the now blocked light source, the grinding of the metal hit her ears harshly as color started to slowly return to her hands. Fascinated by the change the flower child quickly scrambled to her feet once more wasting an effort to wipe the black powder off her still visible dress. Now that was interesting that she herself had become extremely see through but her articles of clothing even the flowers in her hair still retained their bright brilliance.

At the sound of a scream, Eveline tilted her head looking down over the edge watching impassively as the platform below opened and swallowed the strange man, it was the rule of the forest after all. It will always take what it sees as its own. Humming softly she jumped back up onto her earlier platform noticing the strange boy was holding the lantern and had the owl perched on his shoulder, waving slightly she tilted her head in a slight bow towards the creature before skipping forward leaning down to examine the lantern, tapping the glass like a curious child before stepping back a few feet, her natural dislike of metal work and modern technology making itself prevalent again.

A circuitous glance towards the other woman came with the pleasant surprise that she had gotten rid of most of the noise makers she had been wearing and that she had pulled her hair up, walking over to here the girl circled her curiously inspecting her clothing, she hadn't see anything like it before. It was really pretty. Deciding to give the strange woman a flower after all, she reached up to untangle another red one from her crown while seamlessly slipping the bright white flower into the mix.

But before she would get the chance the woman urged them to run, she assumed it was from the fire, curious as to why others would fear it. After all it was only natural, whether it was man made or not was another thing all together, the forest would grow from it, shrugging she giggled clapping once more as the bizarre woman jumped out of the tree, perhaps she wasn't that strange and could last in the forest after all. Tilting her head she smiled at the boy and the owl next to her before she herself jumped down to another mushroom, not bothering to slow down she used her momentum to gleefully hop from one to the other laughing as she bounced down lightly on the ground next to the blue flowers instantly reaching out to pick a few of them braiding them into her crown.

Looking up at the strange woman she offered out on of her own flowers with a bright smile, unsure if she had become visible again or was still an illusion of a ghost.

Academy of the Arcane Artes [Reboot]

Having been seated rather close to the offending pair, Mia was in for a surprise once the boxes started shrinking around her and she found herself back in her seat; getting a front row view of the two students tangled in a rather risque and lewd affair. The bright blush that took over her face was almost as fast as she was scrambling backwards away from the naked figures, her eyes wide behind her glasses as she vaguely registered what the principal had said about roommates and coming back for dinner. Her first priority was to get away, whispering a rather long string of excuse me's and bumping into people as she kept her head down, the small girl found herself back outside before she knew it. Turning around slightly she bite her lip wondering just where to go now, pulling up the speech and maps from earlier getting familiarized with her new setting, the snow still falling down lightly littering her glasses with small speaks of snow. Sighing she pulled her glasses off, cleaning, them wondering if she could delete the images from earlier from her memory.

As she placed her glasses back on she exhaled slowly calming herself back down, "I suppose I should go drop of my bags.." She rationalized before joining the throng of students spilling out of the main hall, her small bag swaying slightly by her side, as she went over the status of the students when they reappeared from their own boxes. It seems that some of them had gotten into fights, and we're in various states. Musing slightly, she wondered just how well she would fit in to a school of fighters, it seems she would have to do some adapting and find a way to fight on her own terms. The thought of it sent a small shiver of excitement through the quiet girl, maybe this was the change she needed after all. Grinning at the idea, Mia took off towards the dorms with sure footsteps determined to make the best of this opportunity.
