Welcome to Gaia! ::

((ooc Lunaru is a court member he wear a black uniform o.o 9 of hearts biggrin ))

Riku wasn't expecting being gagged... much less being gagged by a fellow Black Knight. What was the world coming to? Betrayal's were so common in todays world... but, it worked out for the better, it helped him rationalize his thoughts again, and his raging hormones weren't so raging anymore. He looked at the door and how much she had opened it, just barely giving Mandy enough room to look at whoever was standing outside, and the person standing outside, not enough to look in. He was gagged so he didn't try saying anything, but then he saw the whipand began making muffled shouting noises to try and warn Aurelia. Mostly for her sake, but if Aurelia left...

That whip might not disappear.


Ken looked at the boy, shrugging at Trey's comment. "I generally keep a few bandages around for when I occasionally get injured severly." He easily walked over to his dresser, pulling out a first aid kit, and pulling out of said first aid kit, some simple bandages. Walking back over to Trey, he handed the kid to her. "Keep his head still while I patch his head wound up."

Tai quickly finished cleaning his floor up from the water mess he had created and got up from his chair. "I was asking if you needed anything." He then looked at her uniform and noticed it was black... meaning she was a court member here at the school. Wow, he still remembered that? It had been so long since he'd been here, but the Court members still retained their black uniform. He chuckled, "A Court member, huh? I guess some things never change. I'm Tai Katashi, the new Elemental teacher here. But please, call me Tai. I'm old enough to be a senior here."

Tai turned slightly pink, and pushed his glasses up again. "It's not talent, it's a lot of luck. Both of my parents were elemental users and put me ahead of everyone else. You know when they say 'sometimes you need a good push'? Well, they gave me a pitched me off a cliff. It was a gamble on their part, and look how it turned out." He walked over to the board, erasing his age, but left his name up. "But that's not important. I just got a lucky draw. So," He asked, taking a seat at a desk next to her, feeling somewhat nostalgic from his years as a student here. "What brings you to an Elemental Water Defense class?" To prove his point, he brought some water from the sink over to form a small shield out of ice and put it on the palm of his hand.

Riku felt a small vien pop in his forehead. That was a cruel thing to say. Last he checked, he wasn't all that much of trash, but more like... then again, he was a Black Knight. So, regardless, he sighed in defeat. Trash he was, but at least he was funny trash. So instead of really doing anything, he rocked back and forth on his feet, he couldn't do anything, he was gag-

Wait, she didn't tie his hands up.

Riku literally kicked himself in the back, and quickly untied the knot in the silk... whatever it was. "Whew, thought I was gonna suffocate." He joked, already grinning. Walking up behind Mandy, he wrapped an arm around her, "You are a real b**ch you know that?" Removing his hand from her shoulder, his MP3 player began playing Suffocating Sight by Trivium.


Tai slightly tensed up. First day and it appears he's already made a student upset... and she wasn't even in his class. "Ah, I'm sorry... I guess I spoke too freely. But this shield," he said, letting her touch the finely created ice, and got an idea. "It's small, and appears fragile, you'd never want to use it in a fight. However," He picked it up and threw it against a wall as hard as he could, then summoned it back into his hand. "That small and fragile looking shield went up against a wall, and not even a crack." He handed it out to her, "You keep it, and don't worry about it melting, the ice I create is meant to stand against flames as hot as lava. It won't melt at room temperature that easily."

Maybe this could correct his mistake.

Riku was nodding at everything she was saying, but her last sentence and tone towards him... was the same as Mandy. He didn't do anything wrong! He got gagged, and literally dragged out here. He hung his head, as his MP3 player shifted songs, and began playing Untitled by Simple Plan. However, he knew what he had done prior, plus this, was against school rules. "Right, I'll be there." He said not making eye contact. He slouched his back and put his hands in his pockets, and slowly stalked off. "A double bust..." He muttered, "Guess I'll see one of you in D-hall, then." He didn't hear anything else as he put on his headphones to listen to whatever else came on during the MP3 player's shuffle.


"You are correct." Tai stated looking at his ice shield. "But, like the Elemental Earth has beauty in life, the Elemental Water has beauty in a way that most people overlook, and a certain sadness in it that everyone seems to grasp. Water can only be the form it takes, it can only imitate. The ice your holding is immitating a shield." He stood up and paced around, a way to help him clear his thoughts. "But that's the beauty of it. It's different for everyone. When you look into it, you see a different imitation. It can be changed to fit what it needs to. And to me, it's facinating." He took a block of ice he created, and shaved it into an ice version of himself.
