Featuring: Brae O'Fossen (Rown), Caleb (Kalindara), Chiitra Weatherly (Mordavrin), Dyta Sage (Eversnow REmix), & Eric Elders (Fllnfalcon)
Dyta Sage (Eversnow REmix)
[ Dyta ]
Dyta observed carefully from a position just a little bit away, against the walls of the archery building, as she dealt out a pattern of Tarot cards, then shuffled them back up without checking the fortune laid out. This was just play. When she wanted to know her own future, she tended to use her family's boiled-blood style.
Well, there was an interesting group of Objects by their voices. Maybe... well... she supposed... No. She shook her head, clumping her cards together again. She had to have permission before making a prediction for someone, or at least know them... she thought, at least. Her mother often made predictions upon appearances, but the truly gifted made predictions upon knowledge.
Besides, she didn't know how any of them looked. Fingertips did alot for blood-reading, braille Tarot readings, and tea leaves, but not much for appearances. Blind eyes were, after all, useless.
Eric Elders (FllnFalcon)
[ Eric ]
Eric Walked casually out onto the grounds of the school. HIs packed lunch in one hand and a bright yellow sketch pad tucked under one arm. His other hand was occupied with a mechanical pencil, flippinf it end over end in his fingers. He brushed his brown bangs out of his eyes and reminded himself to get a haircut as his looked around for a place to sit with his grey-blue eyes. A little ways away a group of people were gathering, and in a good spot too.
eric made his way over, rummaging in his lunch bag for his crackers. He sat down a little bit away, wanting to be part of the group, but yet still a bit shy to actually sit down next to anyone. He didn't say anything, he wouldn't unless prompted, he wasn't too talkitive, but he loved to listen. So he sat, and listened and munched on his crackers as he flipped open his sketchbook, and tried to make a passive sketch of the girl sitting opposite him.
Brae O'Fossen (Rown)
[ Brae ]
Brae moved quickly among the sea of students, doing his best to not get pushed around or stepped on. It was a hard task considering he was already weighed down by books, his arms full of the jar flower he loved to carry about.
"Ah...pardon...watch..."
He spoke out loud to the crowds that moved around, though no one really heard his soft voice. He'd been developing a slight throat cold to begin with, so it was barely loudler than a whisper. Not sure of what really to do he headed for any area that would have a crowd break. Lunch would come after, or more classes.
Rashne Kusani (midnight_medea)
[ Rashne ]
Being tall had its advantages. Ra moved easily out of the canteen and through the crowds of students on a mission for food. Clutching the wrapped sandwich he had just purchased in his hands he Scanned the ground for any familiar faces. Not too far off he spotted Brae getting rather sweapt along with the flow.
"Brae!" He called out glad to have seen someone out of the few people he knew. "Are you heading for somewhere to have lunch?" He asked as he reached him.
Caleb (Kalindara)
[ Caleb ]
Getting off the bus, Caleb walked towards the school that hosted his new favourite game. Once again ditching whatever school his parents had chosen to sign him up for, he'd decided to take Hei's advice and scout the physical location. There must be a reason the b*****d wanted Caleb to actually attend the school, not just hack into the game.
What a monster of a place, Caleb thought. The grounds took up what would easily be several blocks of Caleb's up-scale neighbourhood. Without care for trespassing or appearing out of place, Caleb began his own tour of the campus, beginning with the massive courtyard which teemed with well-dressed students on their lunch breaks. Looks like something out of a British boarding school ad, the young man snorted to himself. No way would he dress like that if he decided to attend.
If heads turned to stare at the teen with long hair, tight pants and a rather feminine silver top, it was nothing Caleb wasn't used to. And if anyone spoke about him, or even to him, it was nothing he would notice.
... At least until a familiar face caught his eye. Pausing in his careless stride across the lawn, Caleb bestowed an intense, turquoise gaze on a male in a formal black uniform.
A file scrolled across his inner eye: Shiion... classified... mother... project...
A tiny smirk crossed Caleb's face for a split second. Target acquired. Said target was surrounded with preppy-looking followers, so Caleb decided to move on for now. The last thing he wanted was a group interrogation.
Still... he cast a glance back at Shiion. This could get interesting.
Dyta
[ Dyta ]
With the influx of students leaving the Archery building, Dyta was swept up and towards the main building. In the permanent blackness, she never noticed Caleb before being shoved out of the river of humanity right into him. "Ugh!" she gasped as her Tarot flew out of her hands, all over the area, some landing in unfortunate people's lunches while more stuck from a corner in the mud. The only ones remaining in her hands were the Fool, Death and the Hanged Man, though only one experienced with the Tarot would know. The title of hte card was in Braille, simply raised dots on the cardstock that each had been laminated and printed onto.
She rose quickly, shuffling the deck of 78 cards in her hand. To her dismay, she felt that seventy-five, the large majority, were missing. "Oh, no." Her mouth formed the syllables near-silently, whispering each sound. Shaking her head uselessly to clear black hair away from her eyes, she knelt and began the process of blindly feeling for the precious Tarot deck.
Chiitra Weatherly (Mordavrin)
[ Brae ]
Chii flopped out into the courtyard, and lifted her arms to the sky. History was over! ....for today anyway. Shoving her books into her satchel she stopped quickly by the drink machine and grabbed some juice.
Sipping slowly she ambled her way further into the courtyard, scanning the immense crowd for any and all familiar faces.
Brae
[ Brae ]
Brae turned to see who called out to him, unsure of who it really was due to the sea of bodies that was [thankfully] ebbing. He jumped a bit to see, thinking if he could at least place the voice.
"Ra? Is that yo-"
Before he could finish his mis-stepped, as he had been moving backwards, nearly sending himself toppling in the process. It was thankful that he bumped into someone else that he stayed up, and he sighed as he waited for Ra to come over.
"Ah...this isn't very cool. So many people, and it's not nice outside."
Rashne
[ Rashne ]
"Hi Brae." Ra said finally reaching him. "I was just looking for somewhere to eat. Want to join me?" He asked scanning the crowd for a suitable spot. Chii's red hair caught his eye, the expression on her face suggested she was equally as lost. Waving to catch her attention he turned back to Brae.
"Chii's over there." He said Not giving Brae a chance to turn his offer down. "Let's go and see if she wants to join us." He said placing his hand on the timid boy's back and steering him through the crowd.
"Hey, Chii!!??"
Caleb
[ Caleb ]
As he turned back to watch Shiion, someone slammed into his front. Hissing in irritation, Caleb turned back to find a girl down on her knees picking up cards of some kind.
"Watch where you're going," he said coldly, voice rough as though he rarely used it.
Ugh, he hated having people invade his personal space. And running into him full length - even worse. The only person he allowed to touch him was Hei, but the older hacker was a special case and would no doubt do it anyway even if Caleb didn't allow it, just to annoy him.
Stepping around the girl, he left her to her things. Shiion was up and moving. Making his way further from all the milling students, Caleb waited closer to a building to see where his target was headed. And then follow him.
Dyta
[ Dyta ]
"It's not like I tried to!" she said shrilly after him, then returned to looking for the cards, one hand coming across a clump of cards, and she gathered them into her lap. Only sixteen, still. Dyta sighed, voice slightly tearful, before standing up and shuffling towards the direction she'd fallen, thinking her cards must've fallen around there... somewhere.
Chiitra
[ Chiitra ]
Chii had just spotted Pyper and Scarlett amongst a rather large group of guys (o____O) when she heard Ra's voice calling her name. Glancing over her shoulder she grinned and waved back, then pointed towards the two girls.
"Pyper and Scarlett are over here! Why don't we join up with them?" she asked, before returning to her juice.
Brae
[ Brae ]
Brae nodded and followed [or was pushed] towards Chii with Ra beside him. He continued to walk and was agreeing to go towards Pyper and Scarlett when someone shuffling around on the ground caught his eye. She seemed to be searching for something, so Brae stopped and turned to Ra.
"What's she looking for...?"
The question wasn't really meant to be answered, but he said it none the less.
Rashne
[ Rashne ]
The crowd dispersed a little as Ra and Brae made their progress across the courtyard. Despite this Ra didn't hear Brae's small voice mention the girl. His attention was in one direction only. Assuming Brae was following he walked over to Chii.
"Hey." He grinned nudging her arm with his elbow. "How was your morning?"
= Paused* =
Rashne
[ Rashne ]
No sooner had Ra spoken to Chii that he felt the familiar preassure building in his head. The pain had been lurking all morning. It was always lurking like a fuzzy feeling just behind his eyes. Now however it felt like his brain was being squeezed.
He swallowed as a wave of nausea washed over him.
"Chii, sorry. I'm not feeling too good." He said placing a hand on her shoulder. "I've got to go and lie down. I'll catch you later." He said running off to find a bathroom.

1. This is part 2 of 2 of a massive group RP on the main shop thread.
2. Medea needed to write Rashne out of the scene in case the others wished to continue without her.
3. The RP was paused but not resumed. Fade to black?
