[ORP] A day in the life of Olivia

[chirigami]

[ Note, Olivia does not keep track of time...]

Sometime in the morning - Dorm room
About the only food items that the Undead had about her room were for her minipets, and boil did they ever eat - especially those grumpkins. There were many various mismatched bowsl scattered throughout her small underground dorm, allowing her small hoard of pets to feast.

While they did so, she traveled about the room cleaning.

A little after that - Quad
It was one of her favorite spots, a usual for her to be found just sort of staring at the rest of the student body during their comings and goings. Even after a few years of study (and possible maturity and growth somewhere there), old habits just never died.

Around noon - Demon dorms
It wasn't often that she was invited inside, but sometimes she just ventured in without much of a care. All she really wanted to do as see if a few of her friends were around...

Sometime in the afternoon - The halls.... somewhere
Olivia was on the hunt but oddly enough for nothing in particular; just anyone or something that caught her attention enough to stare at.

Sometime at night when most others are asleep - Outside near the gates
It was quiet, only a few others were rustling about on the outsides of the campus and enjoying the nice crisp chill. Olivia found herself wandering aimlessly nowhere and everywhere as she often did.

Demon Dorms

Andrew occasionally caught Olivia in the dorms. And he was always confused by her presence so close to the very Hot room that he called his. Considering it ran at the up most temperature he could get away with, finding the Wright nearby was just unnatural. Not that he cared if she was there.

Still it was an unusual sight to behold even if it happened often. Nibbling on a piece of Pocky he paused behind her, ready to do the awkward dance of swinging his tail around to the far side. (anyone else would have just been given s small berth. he had promised he wouldn't do it with her any more but old habits died hard.)

Today... he held out a piece of his Pocky, momentarily forgetting that she didn't eat. "Want a piece?" and immediately felt stupid. Of course she wouldn't eat it. He should just... go now.

Even she couldn't really explain fully why she would venture to the warmer side of the dorm rooms. Maybe a personal test to see if she could do it, or how long she could stand it before turning away. Or maybe the off chance of spotting Andrew just far enough away that she didn't have to venture inside again or something. Sometimes it just happened without thought, like at that moment.

Olivia just stood there, eyes trained on the basic location of his door as her hands dug into the fabrics of her skirt. Waiting. Just for a little bit. Maybe. Or maybe a while. It was hard to tell really. Like always.

The warm sensation that she felt on her back should have been obvious enough that he was approaching, or at least someone of his nature, but still she found herself startled a little from his offer. "Oh!" The ghoul exclaimed as she spun herself around with wide eyes, blinking owlishly at him for a second until her gaze settled on the small treat he was holding out to her.

"What is it?" He might have been regretting life decisions at that moment, been debating on retreating or something but her hand was already on the item in question (fingers all over the sweet part). "Is it a spooky? It looks funny." And instantly accidentally snapped off the tip of it.

I had no idea!

"Its pocky. Uhhhh well, you are supposed to eat it. but you can break pieces off and throw it at creeple passing by too." 100% best role model. He shuffled hopping she would by his lie to cover his awkward mistake. Was that frost on the ground by here feet? How long had she been here?

2am - Outside near the gates

Without knowing that Olivia preferred the night air, Bastion immediately felt a pang of worry for a young ghoul out in the cold at such a late hour. He himself had been heading home from a hard day of work in the shrub, but Olivia's plight deserved his attention, if only for a moment.

"Are you all right out there alone, miss?" He asked, already beginning to untie his cloak. "I can offer you this meager cloth for warmth if it could help keep you from illness."

Probably much too long if there was that much frost, but she never really paid much attention to it. Especially not now with a piece of spooky in her hand. "Oh, so not a spooky?" Those she knew of, she had had a few after all - it wasn't like she couldn't eat or anything. "Throwing it at creeple doesn't seem very nice." She told him as she turned the piece in her hand and then popped it into her mouth.

It tasted kind of nice, not that she could rightfully tell.

2 am - outside neat the gates

Finding others at this time wasn't completely uncommon, those this location proved a little bit rarer. And concerned was a little something new. Olivia blinked owlishly at the very dark skinned boil that had approached her and was beginning to offer her clothing.

"Oh, I'm fine!" The ghoul chirped happily, no sign of distress at all, "I like the cold," she nodded vigorously. Perhaps the aura of coolness she seemed to produce herself would be evident enough... or just worry him further.

2 am-ish - outside near the gates

His offer was rebuffed, but it was for the best - after all, he had a long walk ahead of him, and his cloak was the only thing that covered his upper body at all. He was warm blooded, and needed the protection; she seemed not to have this issue.

"Of course! Then a night like this is perfect for you, I am sure." He refastened the hitch to his cloak, and straightened it up a bit. "Am I interrupting some much needed solitude, or would you feel better with an escort? I will not be offended if the choice is the former; I cherish solitude at times, just as much as I cherish the warm voice of a friend."

2 am - outside neat the gates

Olivia would have been glad to know he wasn't going to insist on giving her the cloak if he needed it more than she did. (Though.. being offered something....) But it wasn't pressed upon and she simply smiled at him as she did with most everyone.

"Yes, I rather like it," she nodded, rocking ever so slightly on her feet as he adjusted himself. "but you weren't interrupting anything. I just wander around sometimes," she went on with a little wave of her hand, explaining it simply (wow, he talked fancy). "I wouldn't mind some company." Never would object to something like that, especially when she was referred to as a friend already. That just seemed really nice.

"Are you heading somewhere?"

Andrew never claimed to be nice. He didn't know why she even commented on that. Did she honestly think he was nice at any point?

And then she did something he didn't expect. She actually ate it. His cheeked turned a little red as both his tail and horns went up in flames. "ahhh." the rest of the pocky box was shoved into her hand and then he crab walked on two feet around her, tail moving away as he moved towards his room. "You can have them." Yep not awkward at all. Nope not a bit. She liked them. He could not get the heat to turn down, and now there was only a slice of pie shaped bit of frost left, point directly at the ghoul.

While Andrew did display some rather, well, mean qualities from time to time she never thought differently of him. It might have been a rather biased opinion really.

And how could she when he was giving her his whole box of little treats. The action was at least a nice little distraction from witnessing his flames grow in an instant as she looked down at the box in her hands but the sudden increase in temperature could not be ignored. Olivia jumped in place when she looked up, even as he was attempting to scuttle away, her eyes wide like a frightened minipet unable to waver. Such big flames.

That were getting smaller to distance. "W-wait..." she was so terribly confused, why was he leaving? Olivia spun around and began to follow, "Why did you give me the whole box?" Not that she would really complain about it, and it wasn't like Andrew was going to get them back now. They were locked in her cold dead hands. "And I didn't get to thank you~" Despite the heat, she was closing in.

Why? His brain spun like wheels on a monster truck hanging half off a cliff. Why? "Just take them." his face was getting redder and the heat was hotter. He thought he had stamped out this pesky emotion. Killed it dead. But nooooo, it was back and worst than before.

Like a slow emotional train wreck his flames went even hotter as she encouched on the space, past the 5 foot barrier. What happened? why? It wasn't that that he was mad, but excitement of any kind pushed the temperature up. He was helpless against it, as he had grown they had gotten hotter. And while he had control over where they went, for some reason this ghoul always managed to sneak through his emotional control. And perhaps it was just easier to control hot anger than... whatever you called this.

"No need to thank me." Any one else would have had to. But right now the only thing Andrew could think about was how to escape with both of them unscathed. He should have just turned around earlier but now had managed to stick himself into a corner. His door, almost safety, unless she followed him in. He had a window he could launch himself out of. He couldn't use it to fly but he could certainly run.

Instead of bolting he just waved his hands in front of him, flames licking from his fingers. He didn't intend it as aggression. His eyes were widened in confusion and shock, not anger. But it was still hot and strong like before.

And that was where Olivia stopped, halted just a little past their usual five foot barrier as the flames around him seemed to get stronger. It was all too easy to remember what happened last time she had been in his room and she hoped Andrew wouldn't get angry as he had before when she had been frightened of the flames.

At least this time she didn't instantly close her eyes, but she was tempted. Or at least to look away. A step back at least was taken and her hands with the box of pocky slowly raised level with her chin as a defense. "It... its polite to thank others for gifts...especially friends." She told him in a small voice, staring very intently at his face as it was the least bit covered in flames.. despite his horns being just nearly near it. (Just don't look anywhere else.. just don't look anywhere else...)

She stopped. Be still his racing heart. One breath two... the flames about his fingers cooled down.

His wings, which he hadn't realized had raised relaxed drifting back down to where they belonged.

Friends. There she was calling him that again. Trying to push for that, he didn't understand why. Didn't she know demons didn't have friends? Just people they worked with and lived with on occasion.

And when had they become friends? Didn't she remember why they were not friends?

She was staring at him gaze level and for a moment the fire ceased in all but the normal spots. His tail drifted down to the floor in lazy relaxation. "Alright how exactly are you going to thank me?"

what is this? talking? omg.

2 am - outside near the gates

"I am, but there is no hurry. The night is far younger than I expected it to be, and my goal is to reach the towers before dawn. That is many an hour away - and I can think of no greater use of the time afforded me than to assure a young lady as gentle as yourself gets to her destination safely, and without issue." He bowed in a formal manner, but when he began to stand up again his hand scooped hers up in it, and turned it over to the back. He brought it to his lips, but never touched it. It was a gesture he'd learned since childhood - no matter what good intentions a gentleman had, one did not lay their lips on a lady's hand until one knew them well enough. Her hand was let go before it ever made contact -

- and it was an awkward sort of drop, caused by the distraction of a nearby shrub bursting angrily into flames.

"And it seems I was right to offer you escort. This night is fraught with unexpected danger."
