Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( boom i dont think even the kool-aid man could make as big of an entrance as your characters make))

((Question for Ookami: What's the approximate date within the RP? Autumn? Winter? Spring already?))

((Other than that, I really should be off to bed now.... But I'll hold out for a while longer.))

The new being was small, long and pointy. It had a short but flowing dress--it could also have been described as a tunic, but the word dress seemed to fit it better. Its hair was washed-out blonde and chopped off raggedly. A strip of cloth was tied over its eyes. Nonetheless, it seemed perfectly able to see, because it immediately referred to its clipboard of notepaper. "Aha, Colin Rivers, challenging for the power of the Horned One, that's not been done yet, yes, all in order."

"As per indicated, the applicant is to be tested. Only the pure of heart may pass, yada yada." Its hidden eyes gave Colin a once-over. "Aha? A human? Tsk, this isn't easy on humans. You're such a corrupt race--don't worry. It will be unpleasent, but so long as you haven't killed anyone or anything drastic like that, you'll be fine."

As soon as it had mentioned 'pure of heart' Colin had begun backing away, and now he started laughing nervously. "Er--nevermind, I think I'll just be going now. AH!" He suddenly dropped to his knees as his face drained of color. His eyes widened and he clamped his hands to the sides of his head. "Yes, you're dead, so shut up! Yes, I know I killed you, corpses don't talk, so you need to stop, you're being out of character," he muttered, eyes darting around.

Jabezrien ignored Colin. A new friend was there! Someone like it! "Oh, hello, hello!" it chirped happily.

At the new voice the being turned its head towards Jabezrien, but this time it seemed to be relying on sound alone. "Aheh. An air elemental." It sounded distinctly unhappily.

"I'm a Jabezrien!"
"That's... nice."
"I love meeting new friends, who are you, want a sandwich, I share with friends," it declared, triumphantly phasing an undigested sandwich out of its stomach.
"Ahh!" it cried in dismay. "Aha, um--aha, the Goddess calls, duties to attend to, all that good stuff," it said hurriedly as it phased back into the obelisk.
"Oh." It slumped dejectedly. "Nobody likes me." That reminded it of Colin and it turned back to him happily. "Want a sandwich?"

(( rofl Pure of heart... Heck, that throws about 99% of all our characters out the window.))
((Oh, and awesome Ookami! It's a shame we didn't have a romantic blizzard scene though...))

((Yeah, some here. Good night, folks.))

((I never thought of where the School really is. It is really in europe I think. But I love the blizzard idea. So prepare for one!!!!))
Devin, as Setsuka, walked outside just in time to watch the first flakes of snow blemish the early evening sky. He smiled as the floor became cold enough for the snow to settle without melting. There was something about snow. It was so familiar. Devin felt warm, although his skin was chilled to the point that made him want to turn back into a wolf.
Dante watched as the snow fell on new cedars. Tears weld up in his eyes. "Dear mother and father, you will be avenged!" He yelled. He was looking for Dalia. One on one was all that he needed. He was going to kill her and make her suffer.
Dalia watched as the clouds drifted in and cried frozen tears upon her kingdom. She remembered her first major battle in the snow. It was for her place in the Big Five. She was a young girl of five, and she took on Crest four. He was fast, and used illusion, but she was relentless, and ripped him into pieces. His blood sprayed with pure beauty from his neck as each beat of his heart betrayed him, and pumped the blood out onto the snow. She was the youngest of the Big Five. "It's time to kill somebody." She whispered to herself.

Colin had collapsed on the floor and was shaking uncontrollably. He let out an agonized scream.

Jabezrien was taken aback. "Is this a new game?" it asked doubtfully. "Can I play?"

He didn't reply. In fact, the teenager didn't appear to have heard at all. He was very pale and covered in a cold sweat.

"Colin? I have a sandwich for you. I only ate it once," it insisted in a worried tone. It poked him with the proferred food item.

Colin was no longer aware of anything besides the terrible noise in his head. Every person he'd ever killed since he was ten, even those few he really hadn't meant to kill, was stuffed into his brain and screaming for justice. There was shades of something around him. If he'd been able to think at all, he probably would have guessed these others were people he'd stolen from and various similar such offences, and that they would have crawled into his brain too if there was any room. More and more of the ominous shadows crowded closer to him. He feeblly tried to brush them away.

Jabezrien waited for his friend to take the sandwich, but all Colin did was bat weakly at something the elemental couldn't see.

"Colin?"

Colin moaned very softly, then suddenly went limp.

"Colin? Colin! No, no, nobody else will talk to me, come back! Oh, oh, oh! Don't die, humans do that, so don't because I'll play with your toys!" It bit its thumb and blood spilled out.

Elemental blood is not like mortal blood. Jabezrien's was clear and thick, seeping about like anti-gravity molasses. The airblood slowly swept around the two before finally creeping up Colin's nose.

They disappeared.

((I just noticed, most of the characters I control have a name that begins with D! That is pretty funny.))
