 Penelope(( Edited )) ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦Now that the others were there, Penelope had lost any chance at privacy. So instead she decided to pull Orochi away. The idea was fruitless, however, because she couldn't come up with a way to make it sound as though they were talking about something normal. Chris and the others seemed to be having a fun time while she and Orochi just sat quietly off to the side. His cold demeanor used to intimidate her, but she found she had grown somewhat used to it. Her strange and newfound sixth sense had stopped making her jump when she felt his presence. It was the same for the nekos.
After sitting in silence for what seemed like an eternity, Penelope lost it. "Tell me how to switch to my other personality. The fighter! I can help if you just tell me!" she blurted, turning to look at Orochi intently--and a bit hopefully.♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

(well Orochi's at the bowling alley so you may want to edit your post to reflect that, so I'm just gonna continue as if you were there to)  Orochi watched with disinterest as the others made fools of themselves trying to bowl. He had watched village children play a much older version of the game many years ago, and after watching the monitors it didn't take him long to figure out how the scoring worked. However he didn't plan on playing so it didn't make much difference if he knew how to play he just didn't want to look as ignorant as the cat girl and her sister. Orochi raised a brow as the mermaid demanded to know how to switch between her forms. "you ask me this as if I would just have the answer for you on hand. Honestly why would you come to such a conclusion? Did you really expect me to know any more about your own species than you? Or were you merely so desperate for answers that you just threw logic aside and hoped that I would magically conjure up the answers to all your problems?" he asked emotionlessly. Alabaster was still deep in thought,but Ferris's outburst managed to snap him back to reality "right attacking her head on is suicide, besides I doubt the principal would have died without first finding some way to hinder her. We still have time. Though I doubt my classes will be any help in a combat scenario I will begin as soon as possible, at least to keep up the facade that nothing is going on in the school, and try not to make it to obvious that their being trained, if they knew the truth I'm afraid it might cause a panic amongst the students. If they ask why their lessons are suddenly being advanced just say that you are preparing them for the tournament" He cleared his throat when he spoke of the jewel "Actually when the principal and I were talking yesterday he mentioned that the jewel contained a vast amount of energy allowing it to be used as a power source, which amongst other trivial things could have been used to increase the power of the basement's seals. Unfortunately he didn't say how we were supposed to do this, I assume he meant to explain more during the meeting, so since we don't know how to properly use it I suggest we keep it safely stored in the vault until our technicians can find a way to tap into the jewels power"

Penelope(( Sigh...much appreciated. sweatdrop Post has been edited. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Penelope is still ignorant to what Orochi really is? So I'm going to play dumb. )) ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦Penelope's determination did not disappear despite being shut down almost immediately. In fact, she felt a rush of anger, something she didn't feel very often. "Of course I'm desperate!" she almost snarled, "You seem so much older than you look, Orochi. I don't know, I guess I was expecting...something." Her eyes fell downcast and her tone softened, "I hate feeling like there's some kind of power in me and I can't use it at all. I'm just the...body." She looked away, seeing someone bowl a strike and wishing she had decided to play with the others. Sighing, she leaned away from the snake boy on the armrest and watched with dull envy.♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

(yeah right now only the teachers know what Orochi really is, and even then its by varying degrees) Orochi watched as her desperation quickly turned to melancholy. He let out a sigh as he felt himself sympathizing with her again. "oh god dam it!" he thought. "look I understand what your going through. Feeling powerless when you know that you have incredible strength locked away. The sense of being lost inside your own skin. Look I don't know how to make you transform at will, but you seem to do it automatically when your in danger....so maybe its one of those things were if you experience it enough you can begin to acess whenever you need." That said Orochi grabbed onto her wrist and flung her onto one of the lanes just as a bowling ball went flying down it. The bowling ball was rolling fast towards her head and could probably crack her skull if she didn't do something quick.

Penelope(( Heh, you're cloooose. ;P )) ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦Penelope's eyes widened, then her expression changed to one of confusion. She was about to respond when Orochi threw her out in front of a fast-moving bowling ball. Out of instinct, she put her hand in front of her face and the solid object connected at full force. The ricochet cause her knuckle to hit her cheekbone, but most of the impact was on her hand.
There was a cry of concern from the person who'd thrown the ball, but Penelope barely heard it. The only thing she'd heard was the pop of her wrist dislocating. Adrenaline rushed to the area, preventing any pain right away and Penelope acted quickly. Slipping a little on the buttery surface of the bowling lane, she sped back using the gutter for traction. A furious glare trained on Orochi for all of two seconds, and a hissing whisper fluttered in the air, though Penelope's own mouth didn't move. Don't.... Then she blinked and it was gone.
"What the hell are you trying to pull?" she demanded through clenched teeth, her hip throbbing where she'd fallen. Making sure no-one was looking, she ducked down, lay her wrist flat on the ground and popped it back into place with a grunt. Then she clasped it with her other hand and felt the pearl around her neck grow warm. Standing up, she let the tingling feeling in her hand take care of the rest. She then took a deep breath, "Maybe we could try something a little less...dangerous? I tried meditating...and I had a pretty big reaction. Something like that!" She flexed her wrist, which wasn't quite finished healing and the action made her flinch.♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

Suwako noticed the whole thing she didn't want to interfer as Orochi's approach may have worked. she walked up to the two "I doubt the swim or sink approach will be effective next time she might not be able to react in time" Suwako suggested, "I think we should go now as with that scene we're getting alot of looks now" Suwako added

Orochi placed his hand to his chin as if in deep thought "hmmmm...I was sure that would work...." he said his emotionless tone making it sound all the more ridiculous. He considered trying to eat her, which would probably be even more dangerous and would give her time to react and change. However after taking a quick look around the alley he realized that tossing a girl roughly twice his side into the lanes had allready drawn alot of attention. So conjuring snakes probably wasn't the best solution. "Yes I guess meditation could work....since it does seem to be a personality problem not so much an actual seal keeping you from your powers" He nodded to Suwako about leaving, but stopped right before he began walking "hmmmmm I seem to have remembered that I have no reason to help you....so unless you can make it worth my while I'm afraid that this is as far as I go" there was also the fact that her other side would most likely be very angry with him trying to assist her with connecting to her other side, especially since that was exactly the opposite what the creature had ordered them to do. So really at this point he had more incentive not to help her than to help her.

"That's fine I think you've done more than enough orochi" Suwako replied as she looked at Penelope "If you don't mind I would like to help, maybe we can work on this together" She offered not sure if Penelope actually trusted Suwako enough to help

Penelope♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦"Personality problem?!" Penelope rubbed her temples, "I'm not even going to try and comprehend what that means for me." She acknowledged Suwako, a girl who was evidently a part of the academy. Penelope agreed that a quiet getaway was probably best, and followed Orochi without another word. He stopped moving suddenly and she had to mimic the motion to keep from running into him. She squinted her eyes at his comment, "I doubt I can do that, but thanks for what you said." Her tone was a little shaky, as she was still upset about being hefted around like a toy. She took Suwako by the shoulders and pushed past Orochi in a huff, making her way to the exit. "So who are you?" she asked, a bit of a sigh in her voice. She didn't particularly care at this point. Quick introductions would suffice, then she wanted to get down to business.♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

(uh suwako is actually a girl)
"I'm Suwako" Suwako replied she directed Penelope to the forest where they would be able to train in peace and not get strange looks "So your power seems to be sealed away you say or more accurately you can't seem to access it when you want?" Suwako asked making sure she understood the situation

Cielle was only mildly surprised when Orochi tossed Penelope infront of a speeding bowling ball. Typical
She sighed and looked away, bowling wasn't really her thing. There wasn't much point in trying to knock down objects with a ball. Her mind trailed off to her impending 18th birthday. Reaching adulthood would mean she'd have lots of responsibilities pressed upon her. Being expected to learn and excel in air magic was one of them. While thinking, Cielle saw Penelope and Suwako sneak away. She decide to follow them.
Leaving without a word, Cielle trailed after the two, making sure to keep her distance. In the forest, she managed to leap into the foilage of a tree and observed them. Sealed power? she thought. She can't mean her darkside viper. It would be dangerous if she rejected her. How does she know about that?
