Cassidy Winters



The Aerobic Cat of Team Onyx

Cassidy nodded, "Yeah my cheeks are going to be purple. And not the ones on my face." she said as she began to eat some more. "Though sorry for the crashing into the floor. I saw it might have made you disoriented." she added, and then did a short type of laugh. "Yeah I know you can hear me!" she said back to him and shook her head.

"So I am not going crazy... Something is messing around up there." Cassidy concluded as she finished eating. "Children in the walls... Ooooo~ Spooky scary! Let's break the walls and see!" Cassidy said with a grin. "You can be the tracker!" she suggested, and then looked back to Buster, "And you can... BUST them open." she knew it was a horrible pun. "What about you two? Want to see what's making the noise?" Cassidy cracked her knuckles for the sake of making a point.

Zidane "Zuki Eri" Erailleux
The Blind Fisher
************

Zuki slowly stood, finishing her light salad and gripping her umbrella. "Alright. We should be able to find a source if we work together." Zuki hummed, mentally hoping that she didn't have to mention caution to them, since they were apparently in an old school. There could be monsters of all sorts about. She slowly traced her umbrella on the ground, very carefully moving, completely oblivious to Aryn until she shouted out. Of course, as soon as she did, Zuki was on her defense, umbrella raised to defend herself and her blue eye active. However, she could feel no vibrations or movement, only the girl's voice which reached an uncomfortable octave during her last words.

"Candy? What are you-" She cuts off as her mouth was assaulted by the little soot beings, Zuki dropping her umbrella as she frantically tried to shake them away from her. She was quickly driven into a blind panic, swatting randomly to get them away from her, but only getting a few of them. That was, however, until they began turning into candy. This stopped her completely as she was just confused at this point, the sweet taste somewhat assuaging her blind panic and scared movements. 'What in the world is happening... Why... They turn into... Candy?'

╔══════════════════════════╗

Fresh greens, sickly sweet teas, succulent slabs of carcass...oh, how long had it been since such pleasantries assaulted his senses? Better question, how long had it been since he had graced the dining hall with his presence, much less with an audience to boot....the unnecessary question bounced around his head as the lanky, translucent form of the young man descended from above, allowing his excitable counterpart the 'win' this time around. It made her smile, those stupid, little things, but he had won in his own mind with the surprise of finding so many students littering the hall. Then again, if there's food, there was no doubt that hungry mouths would follow with it.

Needless to say, the Hall was alive with chatter as the snowy-haired boy was quickly engulfed by the aroma of such precious edibles. Just breathing it in made his stomach sting with the nauseating burn of acid bubbling in the pit of his stomach, yet his visage had contorted into a twisted little smile as a clawed hand raked at the fabric over his stomach. "Mmh...funny how you forget just how tempting food smells.." He uttered through his devious grin, his voice noiseless and silent to the ears of the living. "I wonder it still tastes like pig slop...then again, didn't eat much of it in the end anyway.." The recollection of such a memory prompted a stifled chuckle, what was with him and the stupid thoughts today? Unnecessary.

Oh well. There was actually things inhabiting the room that were far more thought-provoking to get his hands on, as he was sure Ryn had gone on ahead of him from what he couldn't see. So, once he silenced his previously occupying thoughts, he allowed his bare feet to touch down upon the marbled floor with an unnerving grace. It wasn't long before his crimson optics surveyed the various faces, sitting unaware amongst their new guests. His slender form casually wandered through the aisles of tables, taking in each and every one of their features, but refrained from approaching until he decided how to go about this little excursion leaving only a chill in his wake. He relished in the thought that he could take his time with the group, as with most things, it was just simply better to do so. And yet, the hardest part was choosing..

Angst's decisions were never really based on anything tangible, though there was something about this Buster that made his smile feel a bit...crooked. Being that the boy was one of first to suggest such a brash means of investigation, he was the first that Angst set his sights on. The half-lidded spirit wasn't entirely sure how he felt having his home torn asunder by thoughtless students, so his first impression of the boy was not positive. "Watch yourself, kid...Allie would have your head lobbed off for saying things like that.." he uttered, raising a slender hand to the boy's face. He then gave the boy a hasty tap of his middle finger on his forehead as if annoyed, but another subtle, wicked smile soon returned to his visage as an inky blackness flooded his veins. The exchange was brief, as the the raven-haired boy was none the wiser even as Angst carried onto his next pair of victims. "Simple enough, that one.."

Pale fingers brushed against the sun-kissed skin of Cassidy's jaw, though as she felt it, it was nothing more than an off-putting chill lining her flesh. Once his crimson orbs met with her own, an emptiness overcame his expression as another rush of darkness jolted through his body. Such a young girl, so lively, so curious, but also just as annoyingly brazen as the other. A quiet sigh parted his lips as the blonde suddenly moved, causing his fingers to phase through her and thus, he pulled away. He could've very easily taken her into his palm, but he figured it was best to remain hidden with Ryn for the time being. "Even amidst all of those kids, you were quite the lonely little stray..." The milky-haired boy's tone grew undeniably cold even despite the empty smile that played across his face; there was something lingering in that subconscious of hers. Still, there were more..

Again, he raised a gentle hand to caress the shoulder of the azure-haired girl adjacent to Cassidy. Unlike her blonde-haired counterpart however, this one seemed to be a far gentler spirit. She felt...anxious, or was it muffled excitement pattering in that little heart of hers? Tracing his fingers up along her slender neck, Angst paused as something caught his interest; he tilted his head before craning his neck over to get a better look at those dual-colored marbles sitting in her skull. "Oh? Interesting.." His fingers now traced along her cheek as he closed the space between their gazes until he finally realized -- although her eyes were vibrant, there was a lackluster to them far beyond the void of her pupil. Poor child, he thought, drinking in what seemed to be the very darkness in her stare before kneeling before her. He delicately took Zuki's face in his hands, leaving her in complete unawares as he smirked. "For someone who sees nothing, I can see so much in you..." he breathed, then released her upon rising from the floor. His words, although supposedly uplifting, breathed of something more...ominous.

Regardless, he had only a couple more to digest. Mentally, of course. Not that his digestive system could even fathom the process of trying to function anyway! But, hah, more jokes. Stupid, unnecessary jokes. My was he distracted tonight...his piercing gaze soon fell upon a couple of students nestled at a table not far off from the others, though the two seemed awfully cozy in each others presence. He clicked his tongue at Josiah and quietly shook his head, didn't he know that girls were nothing but trouble? "Pretty as they may be, the insides are so much prettier, boy.." A not-so-innocent look washed over Angst's wandering gaze as he casually slipped one hand into his pocket whilst the other traced the chasm of a scar lining the boy's jaw. He grazed over it with his thumb, his smirk deepening as his scelera briefly became engulfed in an inky darkness. "I guess you weren't such a good boy, either...Daddy issues can do that to you, I suppose." he uttered, flicking his wrist as if having touched something filthy. You could say he was a bit choosy with his handling of different folk, but it's not as though they knew anyway. Then again, wasn't it common sense to treat glass with care and treat rocks otherwise?

He laughed quietly, muffling it as if anyone could hear him in his transparent state. He was learning so much! And there was only one left to go...and as he looked her over, he was almost happy to have gotten her last. Naturally the first thing he noticed about her were the exceptionally large wings protruding from her back, in which prompted Angst to pause before approaching any further. Although they seemed powerful and ominous in size, the body attached to them came to him as a distraction to the potential beast made for them. It wasn't until then that the notion of the different auras came to mind, in which he assumed she was of the animal variety, which in all honesty, was a bit disappointing. Regardless, with her gentle eyes, subtle figure, and slight demeanor, the contrast of power cradling such a delicate form, he had to admit that she was a sight to see. Taking her face in his hands, he traced the curvature of her lower lip with his thumb, quietly drinking in the darkness that seeped from her form.

"Ah.." Angst let out a breath, allowing his fingertips to drag along her skin as she reacted to something the scarred boy apparently had said. "For someone so fearful, you think so highly of what you might be.." The lanky boy's voice trailed off as he took a lock of her ashen blonde tresses in his hand and circled behind her. It was then that he noticed Ryn's exploration had been drawing to a close, so he too made the conscious decision to ready himself for the great reveal. Bringing the locks to his lips, he smiled slightly as he allowed himself to gradually phase into view. But before he fully did so, he was feeling a bit...curious, if not a bit reminiscent of his comment to Josiah moments before, and allowed his fingers to press against the small of the blonde's back. Like a mist, his fingertips fed through as soon followed his fingers, until finally he had reached the near entirety of his hand into her back in which she gave off a violent shudder. The pulse of a heart...there was something nostalgic about it.

BOO!

The game had began, and in that instant, the sickening tear of flesh rang out amongst the choir of chirping soots and Ryn's shrill laughter. A quiet plip...plip...plip...followed as the now tangible Angst stared down at the invisible spike impaling him. What could be seen of it was dripping in a sickly black tar that now spilled from his lips, staining his snowy white flesh. Aria remained unscathed, however, the crimson eyed boy remained pinned to the space above them as he looked on in shock. His eyes wearily wandered from the stained pike to the newly revealed Aeryn before straining to reach out to her. "R..ryn..?" Something has gone wrong, very wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong..

"Hrm....here maybe?"
Charl has followed a strange sound she'd picked up with her, for lack of better term, "shark sense", and had been following it for some time while wandering the halls after class let out. The strange sound led the bluenette to the doors of dining hall, just as well since she'd been ravenous since this morning.
Momentarily forgetting what led her here the professor pushed on the door with a smile that quickly turned into a frown when she felt something obstructing it.

Determined to get her meal Charlotte pushed against the door a few times ,each time growing more irritable until she bared her teeth as her skin suddenly turned blue and she pushed hard against the door and gradually forced it open.
"Alright punks!" She snapped as her skin returned to its normal color "Which one of you-what in the hell?"
The professor stared slack jawed in confusion at the sight within the dining hall. Hordes of little creatures , chattering like a swarm of insects, flying around and harassing the students and flying... into their mouths....What?

Josiah gripped his mouth as he witnessed Angst strung up on his barrier. His horror was on many fields. That he killed once more. And that he did it without even desiring to. As he gripped his mouth, as if to halt some oncoming vomit. The tightness of his grip almost had begun to bled as he rescinded his barrier. His eyes shook and attempted to stare at the accident he created. He had killed someone else, again. Josiah felt almost tears well in his eyes as a dark depression and latent rage clung to his mind and heart. He did not cry out in pain or agony at his folly. He just embraced his stomach and gripped his mouth. A human life. Taken again. Why was this ******** up world doing this to him? He never wanted this, to accidentally kill a man. He couldn't control it. He froze as he stayed in that writhing position. His blue eyes staring at the wounds, his stomach growing unsettled and angry at it's master.

He looked to Aeryn. The small girl who cackled and giggled without care. He wanted to blame his rage on her, but he couldn't. He shook with a plethora of emotions that he could never hold just by removing himself. However he did. He knelt down as he contemplated his actions. He didn't want to be a murderer. He didn't want to kill. Just like that time before he had to deal with the aspect of killing. Except then he did it alone, in the empty snow blood ran quick and splatter about like modern art on white canvas. Josiah was at least protecting his family from death. He knew it had to be that way, right? He had to kill that man, he had to. However this was not the same situation as before as he felt the immense guilt take root in his heart and ached violently. Josiah had no words. His mind growing empty in the means of concise thought amongst the turmoil of turbulent emotions and mental disarray. He watched as the blood fall off his barrier. Once outlining it's form, now stained red, visible to all. He wondered if he would ever be rid of this. Should he run? Ask for forgiveness? What would Ulysses, his father say? Or Bryn? He left for a number of reason, but one was that he didn't want her to think of him as a killer. The impact struct him. He was a killer. It was to be his task.


The spiral of guilty consumed him and only watched as the fanfare and banter drowned out the death. He rushed towards Angst and began trying to recessitate him, a fool's errand and hope to absolve him of guilt that already over took him

And all he thought as he tried to breath life into the boy was, "Not again. Please Not Again. I can't be a killer."

Cassidy took a step back when she started feeling chills. For some reason now... She didn't feel all that great. She touched the back of her neck, and smiled sheepishly to calm herself down. Then came someone shouting in her face, 'BOO!' to which she did jump because she didn't see said person before. She fell back to the chairs, but caught herself. And that's when the candy attacked. Now normally... Cassidy didn't mind candy, but she did mind it was being stuffed in her face without her own will. She covered her mouth to prevent more from getting in so that she could chew the rest. Needless to say she was upset. She glared, before she felt another sensation. A sensation of dread, and tingling in her jaw. She scrunched up her face., and tried to understand what was causing it. Then came in some more people, a teacher seemed to come in, but Cassiy was concentrating more on the girl that appeared before her. "Maybe she doesn't like it when candy is forced into her mouth, and choking her!" Cassidy said once she chew enough, though he voice was muffled due to her hand still covering it. When Aeryn said something about the teacher handling a 'big load', she gagged at the double meaning. So with her free arm she went to grab Zuki to help her escape. With her super speed they could probably escape.
