One of the most difficult things for me is staying in character; thinking: "what would this person REALLY do?" Because all I want Atsu to do is scream "LOVEEE MEE!"
Any tips, tricks, and observations you would like to share would be most appreciated.
Atsu raised an eyebrow after witnessing the smog around the boy fade away. It was as if the character’s persona was signaling to him that she was a hazard of some sort. “Does he carry a familiar?” she thought to herself. This was of course another reason for her to be careful. Her transmutation wouldn’t affect his illusions; not if they weren’t tangible objects.
“But you can always just burn the boy.” Atsu pondered if there were any school rules on killing another classmate, her brain quickly scanning through the handout of the Academy’s guidelines in her memory. “Perhaps..” Her thoughts quickly shifted as she noticed the schoolmate approaching her. She had enticed something by observing too long.
“Atsu” she replied passively, dismissing the joke Kiaba had made. The Academy’s bell rung again. It was another signal that the opening ceremony would be prompted to start soon. Atsu glanced at Kiaba with an unreceptive expression and made her way around him and towards the main building.
Though curious of him, there was no way she was going to let him know.
Welcome @Hannya ! Hope you'll enjoy your (hopefully permanent!) stay! What kinds of themes are you all about? :]
Hey there! I enjoy historical, action, and fantasy. I wouldn't say I'm keen on romance and slice of life unfortunately but I warrant there's always room for improvements and growth.
'All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.'
Atsu stopped at the last passage of the fifth chapter Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and slotted her bookmark into the binding of the paperback. In the distant there was a bell tolling. Perchance the Academy was signaling to the students that it was time for the opening ceremony? Atsu slid the book back into the bag and dusted off her skirt. Rather make her way there now than be late. She quickly maneuvered her way out of the garden and back to the main building, just next to the dormitories. The building was exquisite, built with rich materials and the details intricately crafted. To the side of her eye, Atsu noticed a group of students, girls primarily, making a commotion.
“Tch. The first day of school and you’re already showing off your skills?” Atsu’s eyes averted over to another person with what it seemed like clouds of memories or thoughts above his head. He seemed around her age and lost in thought. An illusionist of some sort. She quickly made a mental note in her mind to be weary and cognizant of him.
“He may be a Class B, dangerous, and someone to look out for.”
Squinting her eyes, Atsu tried to make sense of the images that he carried. It almost felt like deciphering an artist’s intent behind their paintings and portraits; something she grew quite fond of doing while growing up.
I'm all about inclusion! Plus, Kiaba looks like a fun character. :)
Also, I apologize for the lack of information. I just did a puke draft and stopped mid-way after realizing there might not be a high traffic volume for this plot.
