Alec shifted uneasily, surely they knew that he was useless with a sword, he didn't want to cause trouble but with a lump in his throat he spoke up, "What about those of us who are Dragoon wielders...I have no experience with a sword..." Alec's eyes went to miss Olivia hoping she would have the answer.

This Is dead isn't it?
Kassy: ...oops.
Seriously though, I hope Kassy isn't too Mary sue. She isn't as pure as she appears. Maybe Tyler will get to repay her kindness later. Oh my God I'm so tired haha
Even if she's not...shes a good person...I personally really like her...and Hollow still has a long way to go before he's human again...he's gonna have to learn how to be there for someone besides himself.

Been better but I'm surviving, waiting on fallout 4 to come out.
Been better but I'm surviving, waiting on fallout 4 to come out.
So how is everyone doing tonight?
<Snipped quote by makarov>
Kassy listened to the entire explanation, seriousness in her eyes. She saw him shift, recognizing the posture of shame, as subtle as it was. She'd worn that sort of look a thousand times in her life. When he stopped, the look in his eyes like he was bracing for attack, Kassy couldn't contain herself.
"But you're not empty! I can promise you that." There was a determined sort of pout on her face. "My mother was a medium- she could slip between this world and the Eternal Sea. She spoke to people in that Sea, and gave relief to those they left behind. So... when you say you died, all that was you... was not lost." Realizing she was probably being too excited, she inhaled nervously and took a long drink of water.
"I understand having people fear your power, a power you never chose. And that moment when you work up the courage to tell the truth... Seeing that look, that look of someone who thinks that suddenly you're holding a knife to their throat, when you're the one getting stabbed." Shaking her head, she looked him right in the eyes. "I will tell you something true. I am not afraid of you, Tyler. Not even a bit."
Tyler was frozen, for the first time since he had died, someone actually cared enough to look into the darkness and see him. His eyes softened more than they ever had since his rebirth as she spoke, "Thank you Kassy...I can't tell you what this means to me..."
His cold fingers suddenly felt tingles and a burning sensation shot up his arms. He looked down at himself and then shot up out of his chair, "H what is happening to me!" The voice he heard in his head constantly, whispered through him and filled the air around him seeming to have been voiced by a ghost, "You figured it out my boy...The secret of my power is empathy..." Tyler's skin started to regain its color and Tyler doubled over as his heart started beating again, "All Hallows eve...a time when people gathered together in their homes to stave off the terror of the darkness together...this is my true power Tyler Wentz." Tyler gritted his teeth together as his body came back to life, but his only thought was to not cry out in pain to keep from scaring Kassy.
Alec kept quiet as they were taken to a new room, some form of training area, they were going to test the metal of the cram school students, Alec was now more nervous than before, he could see this going badly and his stomach twisted around at the thought of looking foolish in front of everyone, but another part of him was rather excited, this was his chance to impress Miss Olivia, Alec calmed a bit when he saw their other teacher. Alec stood motionless as if he were frozen waiting for someone to tell him what to do.
Kassy looked completely happy in this moment. "Oh, yay! I like this school already. I've only eaten fish and shark and clam, but this is so much different! The texture and flavor are... indescribable, truly!" It probably looked strange to others, she realized, that she was so excited over eating. She tried to rein it in, and the sparkles started to fade a bit. She saw Mike waving at her out of the corner of her eye, and she returned the gesture with a smile. Then she looked back to Hollow, her gaze curious.
"May I ask you a question, Hollow? I... I'm not sure how to phrase it so I apologize if I offend. What sort of... of being are you? I don't think you're human. Your skin is cool, and humans don't bioluminesce like you." She stared at his glowing eyes. "It's very pretty. Green is one of my favorite colors. Are you aquatic too?"
Hollow nodded to her, "This world...is an amazing and fantastical place..." Hollow kept his glowing green eyes fixed on her, he had decided that she was going to be his friend, probably his only one at this school. The thought made him smile, but that's when reality came crashing in on him with a simple question, "What sort of being are you?" He listened to the whole question as a bit of sadness filled his eyes, when people found out what he was they almost always ridiculed him, hated him, feared him. Hollow looked back into her eyes and remained motionless for a moment, "You're right...I'm not human anymore..." He held out his left hand as a green flame the color of his eyes appeared in it, "My name used to be Tyler Wentz...before I died..." he turned the green fire into a small jack-o-Lantern with a green glow coming from inside, "I was used as a human sacrifice by a sorceress in dark green...she tried to use my soul to seal away one of the oldest human spirits...Halloween..." He looked back into her eyes, "The Spirit of Halloween managed to outsmart the sorceress by funneling all of his power into my dead body...in the process I was brought back to life...But I'm still dead..." His eyes were filled with pain and worry, he knew what was coming next, she would be terrified of him, "I came back into this world as Hollow...an empty husk...and I'll be like this forever..."
