Ruine throws a fire ball at nani and laughs. She disapears after that.
Nanoria sits ontop of her orb and watches everyone.
Tikvah spotted Nanoria and M'Chaela, and waved cheerfully at the both of them. They looked nice -- not like her mean, doofy little brother. Hmph. It'd be nice to play with someone else.
Haven peered curiously at Ruine as she reappeared, fiddling idly with the end of his scarf. She'd made the fireball, right? Maybe he could do stuff like that too? Oooh, he could just image how freaked out his sister would be if he started flinging fireballs or something around!
Nanoria pondered about the fireball. She slowly stared into her orb and thought for a moment. She outstretched her hand and it glowed for a bit but nothing had happened. Sighing, she put her hand back down to her side and decided that she needed more practice.
*M'Chaela waves cautiously and then Haven catches her eyes. She stares for a miute before catching herself and blushing. She turns back towards the orbs and hopes he didn't catch her staring*
Nanoria saw M'Chaela blushing at the sight of Haven. She had to admit, he was rather good looking. Nanoria smiled and nudged M'Chaela in Haven's direction.
*She blushes harder and spins around. She sits quickly back on the floor, next to Cassandra and Malkav's orb, clutching her own orb tightly.*
Nanoria laughs nervously hoping she didnt embarrass M'Chaela in any way.
Haven was a bit on the oblivious side, trying his own hand at that firey trick of theirs'. The most he could do was muster a tiny flickering glow, which sputtered out before too long. He kept right on trying, but wasn't getting anywhere fast.
Tikvah, though, caught the tell-tale blush. Innocent as could be, she scooted up beside her brother, grinning as she sent his orb rolling across the floor with a well-placed nudge of her own -- right in M'Chaela's direction. (Hey, if he was busy with someone else for awhile, he couldn't pick on her then, right?)
What the -- HEY! Why'd she done that? No fair! He scowled at his sister, poking his tongue out at her before he went off after it. He bet anything she just didn't want him getting the hang of that firey thing. Stupid sister.
Nanoria had smiled and glanced over at Haven and then to M'Chaela. She was hoping this turn out well.
Ruine teleported next to Nani and her stumick growled. "Are you hungry too Nani? My stumick go owie." She held her stumick as it growled again. "I can summon fire balls, but cant summon up a turkey dinner..." She whined.
"I cant summon my powers yet...I need more practice.." And putting all her differences aside, she handed her a lollipop. "That's all I seem to have..."
Ruine touched by the lolli gester desides to put her differances aside and help Nani. "Well, i think part of the problem is you dont really know what your power is. It may not be fire balls." Ruine shook her head and licked her lolli. "Could be anything, light, water, wind. You need to find out what then summon it. May even be fire... who knows. My fire balls need work... still pretty weak." She sucked on the lolli some more.
"I know that...I tried summoning any power that I could. All that happened was my hand started to glow a little bit," she said as she thought for a moment. "Oh well...I'll find out soon enough."
"Yeah, you tried summoning 'any power'... You need to find your power..." Ruine continued to lick her lolli and snickered alittle. "I thought you would have at least figured that much out.... Hmm, try looking into your orb and summoning your power."
Nanoria glared at her a bit and looked down into her orb. The small sparkles within it hypnotized her. She closed her eyes and concentrated on what her power could be. She felt her hands becoming warm but she didnt open her eyes...just kept focus and tried to make something happen. Her hands kept getting warmer and warmer...when she opened her eyes a huge light was emerging from her hands nearly blinding her. But she couldnt let go of her orb...her grip got tighter; she felt the sphere cracking underneath her palms. The light had subsided and she stared down. Small tears went down her face when she saw what she had done to her orb...
"what are you crying about?" Ruine looked around, she didnt want to get in trouble for making Nanoria cry. "Are you hurt?" She grabbed Nani's hand to see if it was bleeding.
"My orb...." She pulled her hand off of it and a huge chunk of the crystal fell to the ground. "I broke it..."
"What? Your orb looks fine to me... are you sure your okay, i saw your hands glow and thats it... " Ruine scratched her head confused.
"Are you crazy??" she asked in horror. " 'your hands just glowed'? I was nearly blinded by the light that was coming out of it! How could you not even see that? It was like looking straight into the sun! And how could you not see that my orb is—" she looked back down at her orb...and it was perfectly fine. Unharmed...the way it was a few minutes ago. "What..?" She was so confused...
"hmmmm, maybe you found your power?" Ruine scratched her head. "You must have released alot of power and felt a huge connection with your star or something in that moment of time. I've never gathered that much power before... just enough to make fire balls." Ruine's hand lit on fire and she shot a small fire ball from it.
"But..." she said under her breath. "How could you...no one...see something that bright?" She stared down at her hands lost in her own thoughts.
"Well, i think your the only one who saw it since your the only one with a connection to your star." Ruine snickered. "So what do you think your power is?"
"I dont know....it's something...I've never felt before....I dont know what it was," she whipsered.
8.8.06
Nanoria sat down hiding her face behind her orb glancing up every now and then at Benit. She blushed when she saw him staring at her.
After looking around for a moment, Benit saw a young girl about the same age as he sitting but a few feet away from him. He gripped his orb closer to his body and walked over to her. It couldn't hurt to try talking to someone else.
Nanoria looks at both of the new sprites and smiles warmly to them. She then looks up at Benit and grins.
Benit glances over at Nanoria and a feeling of complete remorse for her. "What an annoying girl..." he thought to himself.
Ruine watches the new spirit but says nothing. She desided he seemed to boring for a prank.
Ruine yawned. She was a tad to tired to start some trouble at this hour, and Nani was being boring.
Ruine looks over at nani and some new male spirit that was looking at nani. She crossed her arms and watched the two of them carefully.
---
"Nice to meet you. You seem really cool." Ruine gave a cheesy smile. "I think your the only spirit i really like.... well i sorta like Nani... but thats for a different reason. Its fun to make her mad."
Nanoria heard the comment about her. She gripped her orb and glared over at Ruine.
Ruine shoot a in your face smile at Nani's glare.
---
Nanoria flew in and landed softly on the ground. "I may not know my power very well...but I caught on to this flying thing pretty fast" she thought to herself. She looked around at all the new faces and stood silently off in a corner.
Nanoria saw M'Chaela still struggling with her orb, so she sat down next to her.
I think I've got something... *She struggled and her orb bagan to glow slightly. The glow faded in and out as she struggled.*
"What do you think your power could be?" she asked timidly. "You seem to be progressing. I dont really know what mine is yet either....but I conjoured something up but I dont know what it was." She sighed and stared down at her orb.
*she let out a heavy sigh and the glow faded away* Don't feel bad. Mine doesn't seem to be doing much more than glowing. I think mines not any use right now...
"Don't give up so easily," she replied. "You should just take a break though from it."
Benit flew in from the sky and landed infront of the two girls. He lifted his brow and sneared at them. He rested his orb on his shoulder and looked around.
Nanoria glared at him and asked, "What was that look for?"
*Not even noticing the snear, M'Chaela hopped up and gave him a hug and a smile.* Hi, I'm M'Chaela. Do you want to play orbs with us?
Benit is appalled and pushed her away from him. "Don't touch me! And NO, I dont want to 'play' orbs with you!" He shoots her a dirty look and starts to walk away.
Nanoria was shocked at what he had done. She stood up quickly and pushed Benit while he was turned around. "What's your problem!? All she did was ask if you wanted to play.."
*M'Chaela tripped as he pushed her back and fell, dropping her orb and skinning the palms of her hand.*
*M'Chaela stood, eyes welling up with tears as she looked down at her bleeding hands. She choke back the tears and went to retrieve her orb.*
*She picked up her orb and kissed it. Then something strange happened. Her orb began to glow solid and bright in her hands. M'Chaela blinked, confused as the light faded away once again.* Why did it do that?
Nanoria had seen what Benit had done and got even angrier. "Was that really necessary?!"
Benit had placed his orb on the ground and glared at her. "Why would you care?" Both his hands were gripped into fists. "No one pushes me.." He punched her on the shoulder, causing her to fall to the ground.
Nanoria rubbed her shoulder. She had reached her breaking point. Standing up quickly, she did the first thing that came to mind.
Benit was on the floor with his lip bleeding...the last thing he remembered was a bright yellow orb hurtling towards his face.
*Excited, she ran to Nanoria and held the orb up.* Nani did you see? Did you see? It glowed really bright all by itself!
Nanoria felt satified and put her attention back on M'Chaela.
"It did? That's great!" she said, quickly forgetting about Benit on the ground in pain.
How come it did that Nani? I wasn't even trying and it glowed so bright! How come?
"Maybe that was the problem?" she suggested. "You were trying to hard.."
She smiled and scratched her head. Then noticing the boy in orange, she blushed slightly and turned around.
Benit slowly made his way off of the ground. "That little...ugh..." He felt his lip and blood slowly trickled down his chin. "She's going to pay.."
*M'Chaela then noticed Benit and his bloodied lip. She ran up to him and wiped the blood away.* I'm sorry I shouldn't have jumped at you like that. I got us both hurt. See? *She lifted her hand to show him, but found they were no longer bleeding or even red at all.* Huh?...
Benit glared at M'Chaela and quickly rose to his feet. "Stay away from me! You're both so annoying!" He stomped off biting on his lip.
Nanoria scratched her head. "No wonder he doesnt have any friends...."
*Too focused on her healed hands to even notice, M'Chaela stared at them, confused. she looked at her orb and wondered.*
*M'Chaela walked over to Nanoria and showed her her hands.* Nani, do you think my orb glowing made them all better?
8.12.06
Benit sat on the ground leaning against his orb. His eyes narrowed as sleep started to dawn on him.
Nanoria sat far off from him and sighed. She saw the cut on his lip where she had thrown her orb at his face a few days ago. It was still slightly swollen and red...but she didnt really feel sorry about what she did. He deserved it.
Ruine apears out of nowhere. She looks around and see's Nani and runs toward her.
Shikyo watched as Ruine ran over to Nani. He looked at the other boy with cuts on his lips and laughed.
Nani saw Ruine running towards her and perked up a bit. She was still feeling a bit angry about Benit...even looking at him made her annoyed.
"What a little prat..." Benit thought to himself as he saw the girl in red running over to her ally. He muttered to himself and put his hand against his chin. "Who the hell needs friends?" He then spotted a young boy about his age smoking a cigarette, his eyes were dark and glancing over his way. He saw that the boy was snickering at him and Benit's face got red with anger.
Ruine almost ran into Nani but stopped, " I missed you! " she hugged on Nani. "That hug is a one time deal though...."
Shikyo saw that his laughter had made Benit angry and he chuckled again. He took another puff of his cigerette.
Naella closed her eyes for a moment and held one of her hands out in front of her... taking a deep breath and consentrating for a moment. Suddenly, what appeared to be a ball of ice shot out of her hand and sped across the room...
Nanoria saw the ball of ice shoot across the room and was quite impressed. She still couldnt figure out her power...it wasnt a typical element...it was something so different...something more powerfult then that.
Nanoria was surprised from the way Ruine acted. She scratched her head and replied "I missed you, too?"
Benit shook off his anger and tried to sleep. A guy like that wasnt worth getting in a fight over.
Ruine smiled, "I've just havent been in a prankish mood lately... Its cause of that guy, he wierds me out." She gives an evil look to Shikyo.
Keika smiled and hugged her orb tightly. She beamed a toothy smile and repeated his name in her mind.
"Nice to meet you Shikyo. Your orb is really pretty too, it's so sparkly... What is your orb? Mine is Oberon?"
She said making a conversation. She then noticed his cigarette and tilted her head at it curiously.
"Hey what is that?"
Shikyo looked at his cigerette and smiled, "This my friend is what gives me an awesome buzz. And my orb is hell." He gave a devilish smile. "So whats your power anyways cutie?"
After eavesdropping into their conversation, Nanoria rolled her eyes and laughed silently to herself. Is she really the only person who could see through that guys act?
Noticing Nani's laughter towards Shikyo Ruine makes the comment, " You see why he bugs me?"
She laughed again. "Yea...he's definatly different."
Benit glanced over at Nanoria laughing. He started to blush uncontrollably and it took him by surprise. He quickly covered his face and walked off in a rush. "Stupid annoying girl!"
"Whats that guys deal?" Ruine scratched her head, "Seems like he's a queer"
"Who? Benit?" she asked confundedly.
"Yeah him." Ruine chuckled.
Nanoria laughed and replied, "I dont think he's a queer...he's a little strange though...but I think he's just angry inside." She looked over at him sitting off in a corner. He peered over his shoulder at her and his eyes got wide. He stuck his tounge out at her and quickly stared down at his orb. A nervous giggle escaped Nani's lips and she scratched her head in confusion. "..Very angry...I dont know what I did to him. But I guess we have a mutial feeling towards each other..." She crossed her arms and glared over at him.
"Hmmmm, I dont understand Shikyo at all, he's so nice to everyone else but me. Infact he's down right evil to me." She scratched her head and looked over at Shikyo with hatred.
"At least he doesnt push you around," she said loudly enough for Benit to hear.
Benit looked around and glared at her. "....stupid," he said under his breath.
"But Benit doesnt play mind games with you. He's not purely evil." Ruine said softly.
"He's too dumb to play mind games....he just rushes into his fights without thinking," Nanoria said as-a-matter-of-factly.
Benit's face turned red, "I'M NOT DEAF! I CAN HEAR YOU!!"
Nanoria ignored him and kept on her conversation with Ruine; she smirked.
Benit sat down on his knees and glared down at his orb. "She has some nerve..." he hissed to himself.
Ruine looked over at Benit, " Yeah and we can hear you too! " She threw a fire ball at him.
Benit saw a shadow on the floor and he turned his head slowly upwards. He saw a girl standing behind him with a curious look on her face.
"Well? What do you want?" he hissed.
Benit saw the orb hurtling towards him but he did not move. He simply held his hand out towards it. Before it had hit him, it quickly disappated into thin air.
"You're not the only one who's learned how to use their power..." he said solemnly. He looked back up to the other girl once more and asked even more harshly "What do you want!?"
Nanoria saw what he had done and said to herself, "Sometimes that boy scares me..."
"To bother you, what else would i do that for? Or this!" She started hurling fireballs at benit and laughed evily.
Benit's face remained emotionless. None of the fireballs touched him. They all dissinegrated before they even touched him. "You're efforts are meaningless."
Aurora just huffed and sat down beside him, looking over him curiously. "I was just curious as to why your so grumpy..."
He looked like he was just punched in the face with her words. "G-grumpy?! I'm not grumpy!" he snapped. "I just dont like being bothered!" He grumbled and gripped his orb.
Nanoria heard how he was talking to her and rolled her eyes. She walked over to him and kicked him softly in the back. "You really shouldn't talk to people like that..." she said glaring at the back of his head.
Naella had been sitting off to the side and started laughing a bit at what was going on, hugging her orb to her.
Aurora blinked for a moment and then smiled up at her, feeling a little bit better now.
"Don't mind him," she said comfortingly, with her foot still on Benit's back. "He's just a jerk." Then she smiled back at Aurora.
Benit's face turned red with embarrasement and anger and he turned his head around at her. "I'm not invisible...I can HEAR you!" he said, knocking her leg off of his back causing her to fall to the ground. "You're all so annoying..." he walked off and sat a few feet away from them. He sat in the same feeble position he did before and stared down into his orb.
"Ugh...such a jerk..."
Aurora just nodded her head and continued smiled, settling in to watch the game as well. "Thank you..."
Benit watched the others as he finally hid himself under a small table; there was a blanket of ivy flowing down it from a pot ontop of it. He just wanted to be alone. He looked down at his orb and sighed.
---
Nanoria plopped down on the same giant scarlet pillow she was sitting on earlier. She simply ignored the humans because they did not intrest her. She glanced over towards the table that Benit hid beneath...he was still there except he was asleep. His was head propped up on the wall and was holding his orb closely to his body. A small trail of drool escaped his mouth and made a tiny pool on his dark shirt. Nanoria started to smile. "I think I like him a lot more when he's asleep..." she thought to herself. Then she realized that she was blushing and quickly buried her head in the pillow.
"And humans must kill." Ruine smiled, "Thats my favorite, the more battles the happier i am. I am the god of war." She gave a cruel smile to the human. "The more hatred the better mood i am. The more victories the more I have a reason to celebrate. I am desire and hatred in one. I am war." She gave a laugh, "But that doesnt make me evil."
Nanoria had over heard what Ruine had said and simply rolled her eyes. "She's not as bad as she makes herself out to be," she thought to herself, with a smirk on her face.
Knowing what Nani was thinking was like pins of needles jabbing into her side.
Benit slowly starts to wake up from all of the commotion. He sits up quickly and hits his head on the bottom of the table. "Ow! God damnit..." he cursed loudly.
Nanoria saw what had happened and giggled loudly.
Benit looked up at her and got really embarrassed but quickly hid it by glaring at her. "What are you looking at?!" he snapped.
"Oh, nothing," she replied back with a smile on her face.
"What's going on??" he asked, rubbing his head and looking around. "Why's everyone yelling?"
Benit curls up under the table once more and peered out every now and then to watch everything that's going on. He observed the one boy in red...he had a bad feeling about him and knew he couldnt be trusted.
Ignoring him, Benit closed his eyes and tried to sleep once more.
Shikyo looked over at Benit. He was also someone who he needed to be careful of. Nani as well. They all three could see right threw him. He needed to get away as fast as he could. He looked over at the girl in pink and smiled weakly, "Sorry to be leaving so soon, but i must go." His body melted into black flame and he was gone.
8.13.06
Shikyo had been spotted, he looked around the room desprete but desided not to make a run for it. He didnt want to seem like a jerk. He put up his charming act again, "Hello love. I am doing fine, but you seem to be doing even better than me."
Ruine rolled her eyes. She was so mad she didnt even know why.
Nanoria saw her ally had come and sauntered off next to her. "Hi, Ruine!" she said as she glanced over at Shikyo. "Is he at it again??"
"Yeah, its quite annoying, but i dont know. He's creepy," Ruine smiled at nani a sad smile.
Nani forced a smile even though she knew that Ruine wasnt in the best mood. "Don't worry about him. He's just a tease."
Benit curled up in a corner with his orb near the window. "Finally...she's gone." He closed his eyes and sighed. He opened one eye and looked over at Nani. "Annoying...." he thought to himself, then started to fall asleep.
Ruine smiled back at Nani. "Lets go start fire to some fire crackers!" she had major add.
"Alright!" Nani replied, excitedly. She looked over at Benit and a devishly evil plan had come to mind.
Randomly out of nowhere Ruine pulled out some fire crackers. "Dont ask me were these came from." She said with a wicked smile.
Nanoria nodded over towards Benit and asked, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"If its setting off fire works by benit then yup," She chuckled at the thought.
"Alright then," Nanoria said glaring over at him. "This should be intresting..." She slowly snuck over towards him.
After observing for awhile Blaed sat down, leaning on the wall, and decided to amuse himself by looking at his orb and humming.
Nanoria looked over at him while they were sneaking over to Benit. "Would you like to join in?" she asked as she chuckled.
"Right!" Ruine followed Nani closely holding the fire crackers.
After cracking a small smile Blaed nodded vigrously and went over. "My name's Blaed." he said and his smile grew. "What's yours?"
Ruine waved to the new comer who had joined her and nani.
"My name is Nanoria," she whispered to him trying to not wake Benit up. "It's nice to meet you Blaed. We're going to give Benit here a little wake up call." She chuckled and placed a few fire crackers around him.
Blaed waved back to Ruine and then smirked slightly before whispering. "I have a feeling this is going to be funny, and I don't even know him."
Ruine giggled (which is unlike her to giggle) and smiled ,"Yeah its going to be alot of fun." She handed each a fire cracker and a match.
Nanoria struck a match and lit the firecracker. She quickly threw it on the ground and backed away from it. It started to crack loudly and Benit woke up and covered his head in confusion. All she could hear above the cracking was her laughter and Benit's cursing.
Once Blaed knew how the firecracker worked, he immeaditle did the same as Nanoria. Me smiled gleefully at Benit's confusion and the load noise.
Ruine giggled and struck her match to the fire cracker and let hers hit the grown by benit. There were loud crackling sounds, these made her laugh.
Benit hugged his orb under him in confusion. He could feel the small fire crackers burning at his skin; the loudness of them was deafening. Even far after they had stopped, he still clung on to his orb. He could hear laughter...
"What?" he said to himself as he looked up.
He saw Nanoria, Ruine, and some boy he did not recognize giggling in their own twisted enjoyment. He felt anger and sadness filling him. His face turned red and he could feel his eyes welling up with tears. He quickly rubbed his eyes because he didnt want anyone to see him like that.
"You guys think you're so funny!! That's why I dont want friends! Because of people like you!" he screamed at them as he quickly stood up from the ground and stomped off.
Blaed's eye widened in shock. He hadn't expected that kind of reaction. "Whats up with him?" he asked slightly puzzled.
Nanoria sighed and felt bad. "Maybe we shouldn't have woken him up like that..." she thought to herself. "He's just such an angry person...."
Ruine not noticing Benits feelings continued to laugh.
Blaed raised an eyebrow. "It was just a practical joke...sheesh. But i guess I wouldn't know him ennough to figure out that would have upset him so much." Out of the corner of his eye Blaed saw something brightly colored in the corner of the room, partially hidden by shadows. "I wonder what that could be..." he thought to himself.
Ruine stopped laughing after she realised that Benit was really upset.
"I think he's upset that he had to wake up so suddenly like that..." she said nervously. "I would be angry too if someone woke me up attempting to scare me." Realizing her mistake...she walked over to where Benit had wandered to to apologize.
Blaed considered going to investigate the colorful thing but as he felt a twinge of guilt, he decided to follow Nanoria to make his apology, and intorduce himself properly. "I'll go look later.." He muttered to himself.
"Benit..." she said softly when she approached him. He mumbled something under his breath and tightened his grip on his orb. "I'm really sorry that we scared you like that....we were just playing a joke. We didnt mean to make you angry."
Benit didnt want to reply to her. He felt like all he was good for was a good laugh. Was that really the way everyone thought of him? Some stupid person to play jokes on? He had emotions too...he was really hurt by their actions...
"It's ok if you dont accept my apology..." she said again. "But I just want you to know that I mean it.."
Blaed approached Benit and Nanoria. He scratched his head and took a deep breath before saying: "Sorry about that...I shouldn't have done it, especailly since I don't know you. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and well...I apoligise." Blaed bowed slightly and then extended his hand. "My names Blaed...what's your's?"
Benit remained silent.
Nanoria sighed and looked over at Blaed. "I'm sorry about him...he's just really stubborn." She turned to walk away and she hear him reply...
"Benit...my name's Benit." He sighed and turned around towards them.
Blaed smiled. "Benit...it's a good name. So what do you like to do for fun around here?"
Benit's face still remained emotionless. "Nothing...I just like to think to myself and look at the sky..."
Nanoria had noticed his eyes were red. "Has he been crying?" she asked herself in her mind. She had felt even worse about what she had done.
Benit was slightly annoyed by talking to them...but he felt like he shouldnt be such an a** all the time...he just wanted to be alone...not hated.
"Thinking..that's always good...something I should do more often I suppose. Thinking before I act. Well, I was planning on going to investigate something colorful I saw in the corner in the other room." he pointed his thumb over his shoulder. "Wanna come?"
"Sure..." Benit said cautiously. He stood up and placed his orb behind a giant potted plant. He crossed his arms and walked off with Blaed.
Nanoria smiled a little bit at the cross armed Benit. "He's so stubborn," she said to herself, almost laughing.
Blaed happily journedyed back to the other room. When he approached the cornere he was disapointed to find nothing there. "It was there just a minute ago." the disapointment was clear in his voice.
Benit stared down at the ground. "Well it's obviously not there now..."
Blaed looked displeased. Then he spotted Taldith over alone. "Let's go talk to him." Blaed marched over. "Hi I'm Blaed...what's your name?"
