[[ Alright, time for some "fun" >8D ]]
Up ahead, she could see Erin making the last jump and landing safely on the small dock. She smiled in relief, glad to see he had made it across, but this momentary distraction proved disastrous as she mistimed her next step, losing her balance. She hovered above the pole for a fraction of a second, flailing her arms and leg to try and regain stability, but it was no use. Eyes widening and with a sharp cry escaping her lips, she fell.
On her way down, Michiyo tried desperately to grab onto the pole as it rushed by, her hands failing to find any grip and her last attempt actually pushed her away from the pole, landing on the ice with a soft thud. For a moment, she lay completely still, heart racing and eyes wide, afraid to move even an inch. Then, starting underneath her, a slow ominous groaning, spreading out as, to her horror, she could see the ice starting to crack. Panic now truly gripping her, she sought round for anything to hold on to, her eyes falling on a pole nearby and in one last desperate move she lunged towards it, but her hand fell short, and the movement was too much for the ice.
The surface disappeared, and Michiyo fell down into the water, which was so cold it caused her to gasp in reflex, already expelling some of her air. To her terror, she felt a current pulling her further and further down, and above her head the ice - no doubt because of its special qualities, started to close again. She swam as hard as she could, absolute blind panic coursing through her body, then, as her longs started to ache for air, she tried to activate Kusari, but she couldn't concentrate. Still reaching for the slowly diminishing hole in the ice, her world went black.
----
For a split-second, the ice was still, a smooth sheet of white. Then, with a crash, Kusari shot upwards, splinters of ice flying everywhere as it latched onto a pole, before curling in on itself and, catapult-like, pulled the body from the water and propelling it towards the docks. In a shower of water, the girl landed on bended knee, head down, while Kusari once again returned to her waist.
"Argh, gods, I thought she was going to get us killed!" the girl grumbled loudly, standing up sharply before shaking out her wet hair and jerking her head to the side to expel water from her ears, "How difficult can it be to stay on a pole? They don't even move!"
She paused mid-shake as her eyes fell on Erin next to her, a grin of Cheshire quality appearing on her face, her eyes acquiring a gleeful glint as she drawled slowly, "Why, hello there..."
[[ Right. I could explain right away... But I'm not gonna >8D ]]

[ eek eek eek eek ]
Erin watched in horror when Michiyo slipped and lost her balance. He ran for the edge, skidding to a halt as he watched helplessly. He reached out but it was useless, and as she was plunged into the depths of the cold water, he yelled out.
"MICHIYO!" he dropped to his knees and leaned over the edge of the platform, watching the ice re-build.
His heart was in his throat and he started to breathe in sharp breaths, raising his hands to his head. He stood up and paced around for a second, and just as he decided he was going to go after her, her Kusari shot from the ice like a sharp knife. He stumbled back a few steps as Michiyo landed hard on the platform, raising his arms against the shower of frigid water. He didn't quite hear what her first words were, and he immediately rushed to her, concerned for her well-being.
"Michiyo, are you alr-" he stopped mid-sentence at the grin on her face and the tone of her voice.
His hand warm hand was already on her cold, wet arm, but he pulled back slowly as he continued to stare at her. The expression on the girl's face wasn't familiar, and he almost felt like he wasn't even looking at the same person. He swallowed a little dryly and watched her as he responded.
"Er....hey. Are you alright?" he frowned a little as he asked.

She effortlessly kept her grin in place as she adjusted to the situation. Right. Michiyo. That's what she's called. Not exactly a thrilling sort of name, but I'll make it work.
"Why, I'm perfectly fine," she replied, still in her drawl, eyes quickly giving him a once-over. So this is the one all the fuss had been about she thought, eyebrow faintly raised as she appraised him. Way to go, Michiyo~ She would have high-fived the girl, if that had been even remotely physically possible.
She stumbled through recesses of her mind, extracting his name with ease. Erin. Best remember that one, because I think I'll be using it a lot...
Her grin grew even wider, before continuing, "Aren't you fine..?" Somehow, it didn't sound much like a question.

[ I have to go soon, but I'll be back later. smile ]
Erin was starting to get uncomfortable, and the hair at the back of his neck bristled. Whoever this was, it wasn't Michiyo. But how could it not be? He thought with a frown. It didn't make sense to him, and he rubbed at the back of his neck as he watched her still. It still looked like her, except for the expression on her face. It still sounded like her, except for the way she was choosing her words.
"I'm...fine, yeah. I was just worried about you," he answered her not-quite-question.

[[ Kay 8D ]]
"Oh, no need to be worried about little ol' me!" the girl replied, waving his answer away, "A small trifle like almost drowning won't get me down."
After one more grin in his direction, she stepped forward and started to inspect the small dock on which they were standing. She was positively bursting with energy. Who knew how long this would last? She was determined to make the most of it. An obstacle course wracked with dangers and a gorgeous bloke by her side sounded like the recipe for perfection, and she had to restrain herself from laughing out loud at the prospect.
Suddenly, a small protruding knot in the wooden wall lining their platform caught her eye. "Now, I wonder what this button does?" she mused out loud, giving him an excited grin over her shoulder before pushing down on the knot, causing the wall to open and a new pathway to reveal itself. "Onwards and upwards, good sir~" She motioned him towards the gaping black hole with a small curtsey.
[[ We can continue when you get back! 8D ]]

[ Back! biggrin ]
Erin's eyes widened some as Michiyo pressed the button on the wall. Good sir? Since when does she say things like that? She's really acting weird. He hesitated before following her lead. When she curtsied to him, he paused, raising an eyebrow a little. Her oddly hyper behavior and almost sing-song attitude unsettled him. Sure she always seemed to be bright, but this was still a different kind of attitude, almost mischievous.
"You're certain you're feeling alright?" he asked yet again.

((All aloooone~
Oop just kidding! Hi Chaoe <3 watcha up to? Just thought I'd post because I've been neglecting the poor couch and it misses me c:
-edit-
Don't everyone prove me wrong at once! Lol xD Welcome back Erin.))
As Sil settled down on the Common Room couch with her pack of acquired Tarot cards, she attempted to work on a virtue she never really boasted-- patience. Though she had been assured that Kiah was going to be fine the evening she had brought her into the infirmary, the young woman was chewing at the bit to see the young women with her own two eyes. Guilt gnawed at her insides as the vicious cycle of what if swept her up.
The head nurse hadn't been accepting visitors and it took most, if not all of her will power not to kick the door in and demand her time with her favorite Orderr paper bunny. As she shuffled the cards aimlessly to burn some energy, she wished for a distraction and smoking was the only thing coming to mind. Her shuffling became twice as aggressive then, like the cards had done something to make her angry.
