Midna-Phobia

In Enemy Territory

Grace smiled slightly but then pouted as she thought about it. “Maybe tomorrow.” She whispered quickly. “I’d have to ask my mum about it first.” Her mother was slightly over protective of her, but she supposed it was well justified what with all the villains she fought threatening to get her and everyone she loved one day. The life of a hero she supposed. Still, even as Mr Steele began with his lecture on power theory her mind was more on Kyle’s words, thinking them over. He thought she had magic? Why would he think that? What did it even mean? She knew some kids in the school had powers more orientated towards the mystical and the fantastic, but they had elemental powers. How did magic fit into all of this? “Alright class!” The sudden shout caused her to look up in alarm. “Now I don’t think too much about all this theory stuff, in my opinion the best way is to get out there and practice the theory! So put your things away, we’re going out to the sports courts early where we’re going to reinforce the theory we’ve just covered with practical application.” Grace sat there in shock. She’d completely missed the theory element all… ten minutes of it. She had no idea what she was supposed to be doing now.

You're fine haha. I was mostly just getting annoyed with other people because I was putting 'casual' on my RPs and I was getting 2 lines- 1 paragraph responses and I was like 'okay I know I haven't RP'd on the site in a while but when did the casual level drop this low?'

Beyond the Wall

Cade lay by the wall for a very long time, daemons had very different eyesight to humans. Their vision at night was impeccable, however they struggled to see things that were further away or slow moving though they had the ability to pick up quick moving objects the rest of their senses usually helped to make up for some of their sight weaknesses. Still, he lay there staring out of the hole long after he couldn’t see Luka anymore. However the creature knew he wouldn’t be coming back any time soon and he was still hungry. Standing the creature moved away from the hole reluctantly. He began attempting to focus on the task at hand, his hunger driving him but his mind continued to wonder. Generally the daemons of the wall didn’t take den mates for this reason. They were a distraction. Of course this situation was slightly different than anything any of them had experienced before and often Luka was thought of more of a youngling rather than a partner, which didn’t have to be explicitly sexual. Often daemons would just form exceptionally close bonds with one another. As such he couldn’t help but worry. He already noticed the others avoiding him, afraid of asking the condition of the boy. He just had to believe that he’d be alright. Luka had always proven he was tougher than what they often gave humans credit for. They could survive wounds that would easily kill most other creatures. But this seemed more like a sickness than a wound. He’d never experienced the boy getting sick before.

Kaya rolled her eyes and pointed a finger at him threateningly. “You better be.” She warned again. It was mostly an empty threat. If he did get hurt she’d probably be more worried about him than mad. She’d be mad later when he was recovering. To his credit, Bryant was a very capable fighter. Careful wasn’t exactly the word she’d use to describe his fighting style, but he was good enough that he could get himself out of the trouble he often got himself into. It didn’t mean she didn’t worry about him though, a lot. Kaya was willing to bet he’d taken a good few years off her lie with the amount of worrying he’d caused her. It just sucked that power practical wasn’t optional. Grace refused to use her powers for combative purposes, so whenever they pitted her against other students it always felt a little unfair; especially since she’d explained to the teacher numerous times she wasn’t going to fight. She wondered if maybe he just saw that as a challenge though and was trying to push her to the point where she just snapped and used her powers. It wouldn’t work. She was too level-headed for that kind of nonsense. “Come on then,” Grace said as she checked her watch. “We may as well head over to power theory, lunch is about to end anyway.”

A stone golem would be freaking awesome. Just saying.

In Enemy Territory

Grace smiled slightly when he agreed to walk with her. It was a really strange thing to think of, but Kyle’s composed and collected approach to life had a very calming effect on her. It was like he just radiated tranquillity. She wondered, if she could see auras like he could what his would look like compared to everyone else. He certainly seemed to pick up on her mood changes easily enough, so she wondered if it was colour coded and if some had more powerful or bigger auras than others. She pondered over a lot of questions she had over auras as she led the way through the halls, making her way towards the rooms near the gym where the theory classes were held. She wasn’t sure if she’d bother him with all her questions right now, some time maybe. However there was one that was pressing her more than any other and she just couldn’t help herself. “Kyle?” She said as she walked to catch his attention. “Can anyone learn to read auras? Or do you have to be born with the ability or maybe you have to have something special to read them?” She supposed what she was really asking was if she could learn it with some training. Grace still wasn’t sure if it was something she’d ever need in life, unable to think of situations where it would be useful except when faced with a loss of eyesight. But certainly Kyle would be able to tell her other places it may be useful. As they arrived at the classroom she quickly took one of the few remaining seats with an empty one next to it. It was all things they could talk about at another time she supposed.

Grace looked at him curiously, putting slightly as she thought about the words. Once again she found herself confused by the things he said, trying to find the answer to her question amongst the cryptic words. However it seemed like she had run out of time to think it over. The bell rung; a harsh, loud noise that broke her line of concentration. “We have those power classes now don’t we?” She asked as she once again took out her book, the one she carried the sigil in, her school schedule stuck on the back as she looked it over, hoping she’d remember it eventually. The book itself was a journal of sorts, where she wrote down some of her inner most thoughts, she also tried to keep it strictly positive, so it usually helped to make her feel better when she was feeling down. “Yeah, theory followed by practical. Did you want to walk over with me?” She figured it only made sense, since they were already sitting together and were going to the same place. But she didn’t want to make him feel like he had to either. Hopefully he didn’t get sick of her hanging around him all the time like this.

Kaya looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow and rolled her eyes before gently punching him in the arm. “You’re such a dude!” She informed him as she picked up her books. Really she didn’t like seeing him using his powers to hurt people like he did, but at the same time she understood he saw the world differently than she did and his powers were more aggressive in nature than hers were. In saying that she was sure she could use her powers to be aggressive or destructive if she really wanted, but right now she was more focused on the positive aspects of it. She was learning a lot about the medical applications of alchemy at the moment, which although limited could still be used to save someone’s life in a pinch, she was sure it would be useful to those who rode around in the ambulances. “Just be careful.” She eventually added. “You know those guys don’t play fair when you start to kick their butts..” Though they were rarely reprimanded for it didn’t mean she didn’t think they were breaking the rules.

Beyond the Wall

Cade, although knowing he needed help, was still wary of the human as she slowly approached him. Whilst he was doing his best to control the instincts that inside him his chest was still rumbling with a quiet growl. The problem was that he just didn’t understand what was wrong with Luka. Daemon wounds healed differently to human wounds, and often healed at a rapid rate. So he’d never experienced an infection before. Looking to the girl, at least she seemed to understand what he wanted and the daemon turned, walking swiftly towards the hole in the Wall. However once there he stopped and looked to her. He couldn’t cross. No matter how much he wanted to, the daemons still considered themselves to be in a state of peace with the humans. As such, his kinds laws forbade him from crossing. Luka was not daemon, though they treated him like kin he was not bound by the same laws as they were. Lying down he allowed the boy to slide off his back and looked to the girl again. He doubted help would willingly come to this side, so she’d have to go on without him, despite the fact that he didn’t trust her and the idea of leaving his den-mate with her worried him.

Grace shrugged slightly. “Like I said I don’t really know what I want to do yet. I’m sure I can’t just leave school and start a family, so I think I’d have to find some kind of job in the mean time. I just can’t think what it is I’d like to get up and do every day.” She shrugged lightly once more as she listened to Kyle saying he wanted a peaceful life. It made her smile, knowing that someone else was content to join one of the more generic lifestyles even with their powers. It made her feel a little less odd, which was a nice change in a world like this. Finishing off her lunch and tea she sighed gently. “Luckily I have a lot of time to think about it I guess.” She finally settled upon. “And who knows, by the end of school I might be an entirely different person than I am now. High school changes people.” At least that’s what she’d been told. “But… do you think doing something any person can do would be a waste of my powers?” She eventually asked, looking back to him. Certainly not everyone who has super powers becomes a super hero or does something with their powers… right?
