Siddie's blush flared brighter purple, and she said, "Thank you. I'm sure my ghoulfriend would agree, but I do prefer to keep myself dressed most of the time." She emphasized the word ghoulfriend just slightly. "It really can be useful, though. I found out I could go flat when I was having a practice fight with my friend Junko -- I dodged, and suddenly I was two-dimensional. It's very hard to hit me when I'm like that, and I can go through very small openings."

Zar did not seem entirely put off by her pointed emphasis on the fact she had a ghoulfriend. Being an Incubus meant that he hardly put any stock in monogamy to begin with and in his present relationship there was hardly any exclusivity to be found anywhere. "I tend to straddle the role of boil and ghoulfriend at present." he said, his hearts beating faster even as he did so, it was not a fact he had offered openly in public before. "But yes she would most certainly be mad to disagree." he waved a hand and went on smoothly. "But I do apologize if I am being too forward with my compliments, I am simply always fascinated when I run into someone who embodies such deadliness yet pairs it with such modesty. Tempering instinct and nature with control is something I admire." His very posture seemed more relaxed, more open than the uptight anxious creature which had been skulking in the pillows earlier. "You feel like a predator to me, despite your gentle demeanor."
"And I should think abilities such as those would be extremely varied in their utility." He tapped his chin with a talon. "And would you be able to use yourself as a weapon like that? I imagine a blade with a shadows edge would be very very sharp indeed."
He licked his lips, his expression momentarily blank as he considered her comment on openings. "As far as small openings. I would say that I can too. However I doubt that we mean in the same fashion at all."

"Oh," Siddie said thoughtfully, tilting her head, "you look like a boil, but I suppose that doesn't really tell me anything." The predator comment made her go quiet for a moment, something deep in her responding to the idea, though she preferred a peaceful life. "When I must fight, I fight with my claws," she answered, "and I can make spikes, as well, if I really need to. But I don't ..." don't like to fight, she meant to say, but something made her stop. "I don't fight often," she finished instead.
Her hand came up to cover her mouth at the suggestive comment, and she giggled. "Oh my," she said, "no, probably not."

"I didn't like to fight either." he admitted. "It took me some time to realise that was partially learned helplessness over how I actually felt about it. I am still far from an athlete but I do rather enjoy a bit of a scuffle now and then. After so long at the whims of my parents there is something that sings in me when I go claw to claw with someone else." he gestured vaguely in the direction of the school with a splay of talons. "And there has been so many occasions where it has been of paramount importance that there was simply no need to lock down on my deeper nature."
His smile went a little further than a smile should as he added. "If I am frank I should think that pleasing on the eyes as you are, that you should wear spikes and claws even better. I see a ghoul with all the potential to be whatever she might like to be, to be a sleek shadowy nightmare. It is the potential that draws me to you, you have so much." He checked himself apologetically. "And I do not mean to be condescending in that. I am far from in a better position than you. I have spent more than a decade of my life being exactly the simpering creature my parents wanted me to be. Until I decided no longer."
He sighed. "And the strong focus on the boil thing is - when my mother is around - somewhat of a survival tactic."

After so long at the whims of my parents ... Siddie shifted uncomfortably, her claws retracting, then extending again without conscious intent. A sleek, shadowy nightmare. Something in her core responded to that image, and she didn't know if she liked that at all. Until I decided no longer. She had already decided that, but ...
"I'm, I'm sorry," she stammered, and folded her hands into her sleeves nervously. "I don't, you shouldn't have to, oh dear." Her claws caught in the fabric of the sleeves, and she looked down to see shadowy talons pinning the fabric. "Please excuse me, I," and she backed up two paces.

Zar shook his head "No need for apologies. It is like I said to you, I know what it is like, my body is only tentatively under my own control at the best of times." And true to this, his tail coiled beckoning even as he spoke and if he got away with it seizing her wrist, just to halt her before immediately letting go. "I apologise. Just. Do not apologise ever for what is in your nature. I spent too, too long doing that and I saw a future where it was the end of me."

The tail coiled around her wrist and then released her, and the moment of restraint and then control let Siddie regain some of her balance. "I'm," she said, stopped, and swallowed and breathed deeply, wishing for a moment that she hadn't left Clove with the other minis, because she could really use the drutten's comforting presence just now. "I've done what I needed to, to make myself safe. I've, if I ... " She trailed off and made herself retract her claws.
Then, impulsively, she half-asked, "If you want to have a fight, sometime," and left the statement open, half a question.

"You've built yourself walls is all you've done. I did it too. You make people less safe by neglecting what you have, what you are. Because one day it will bubble over and then you are in trouble." He shook his head.
"I ripped my own wings to shreds once, just because I bottled things up too long, and now they are useless. I will never fly." He gave his wings a look of disgust, despite them being whole, healthy and almost certainly able to carry his weight and then some, he still saw them as the wrecks he'd left them and had never tried. "You have to master what's in you. You have to master yourself. That's the only way to really be safe."
He nodded. "And I will fight you any time. Any place. I am still weak, but I want to be safe too."

Siddie wound her fingers together nervously. He had a point, maybe. Maybe. She didn't really want to admit it or think about it, but maybe it was dangerous not to. Was it? It could be, she guessed. She'd made claws just now without even meaning to. She'd hurt people without meaning to when things -- when bad things happened. Maybe she should think about that so she could control it better.
"Your wings look okay to me," she said, confused, giving the limbs in question a long look. "They have strong bones and membranes. Did you try? Sorry," she added, reflexively.
She folded her arms across her ribs, trying to smile. "I'll, we can fight in the gym sometime? I'm probably not as good as I should be, but I could use practice."

This time before he tries to pull a ticket, Benji takes a closer look at the roll, seeing if he can figure out what he might have been doing wrong the past few days. He'd ask around, but on the off chance this is simply the normal roll of tickets it appears to be, he doesn't want to ask what to do and make himself look foolish.
Maybe he should have, though... he's just glad he hasn't been confronted yet about his daily destruction of the ticket roll here. He leaves, emptyhanded.

Judas was glad to find a place to rest his legs. All this walking around, throwing things such. He plopped onto the couch and plopped his feet into the table in front of it. It was only after he was sitting he noticed the ticket dispenser on the table. Was this really that easy? He reached out and took one.

Nova wasn't sure how long he'd actually lain like that, with his stocking covered feet perched up on the arm of the couch... but he was getting twitchy. And his main wings were itchy, stupid things starting to grow in. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and he wiggled his back against the harem pillow, trying to get a little relief. His wings had started sprouting only days before his parents had sent his Academy enrollment form in to be overlooked, they hadn't heard anything back yet though... dang itchin- woah! Nova rolled off the side of the pillow, his long hair and tail twining together. He gets himself collected and figuring he'd already... eh.. gotten up, he might as well head over to the unattended ticket roll.

Attempting to take a ticket was probably the easiest game Gabby had ever tried, and for that, he was thankful. He pulled the ticket out, pocketed it, and found absolutely no other reason to stick around. The booth made him feel tired. It was probably because of its name.
