Fantasy Giorna High School for Mystical Teens

Egxsoke.jpg
"Heeeh. This 'lace sure is 'eird karana." Kara said with a hint of amazement. Oni usually slept in larger groups -- mostly with relatives within the same bloodline; siblings, parents, and grandparents in other words. Although, thinking about it for a moment, because none of these students were her family, perhaps it was only natural to have them separated to a degree? How mysterious.


Lost in her own contemplation, Kara didn't hear the walking armor's voice as he approached behind, and simply tilted her head as she watched Bones step back. Before she could ask what was wrong, however... Her shoulder was touched.


*SSSsssshhhhooooooOOOM --- CCHHHKKK!!*


In an instant, Kara became a blur of movement. In the next instant, there was a golem lying on his back, with Kara looking into its facial visor. To explain what happened, each step will need to be explained in detail.


First, Kara pushed her back against the Golem, causing her (and consequently its) momentum to shift backwards. Alongside this movement, she tilted her upper body to the left (the direction the touch had come from) and used her right hand to grab the arm that she had been touched with. Meanwhile, she used her left hand to grab the right arm of the Golem. Next, she lowered her back and used the backwards momentum generated prior to kick her right leg partially backwards and up, causing it to stick to the Golem's right leg, transferring her momentum into its leg... Thus making its leg move upwards and leave the ground. With its right leg now heading upwards, the flow of the Golem's movement was forced to head forward, as the lowering of her posture served as a pivot point for it to fall over. As soon as the Golem's leg had moved even slightly, Kara's strength ensured that her opponent would meet with the ground.((This happened.))


"Tha's one wazari for me, kara!" she shouted, returning to her standing posture with a look of pride on her face. The 'wazari' she spoke of was a 'half point' used in certain competitions among the Oni. In such competitions, the move she had used would be classified as an 'Uchi Mata' and, as she said, would earn her one wazari.


"S'been a 'ile since ah 'ad t' counter a 'strike', kara. Last time musta been th' Sōgi Kyōen six leaf-falls ago." she said, crossing her arms and reminiscing. The Sōgi Kyōen or 'Strike Feast' was a festival where the Oni would attempt to reach the backs of their opponents. Upon touching someone's back (an action they simply labeled as a 'strike'), they had 3 seconds to remain standing in order to gain a point. If they were countered and struck down, however, the point went to the Oni that they had tried to touch. At the end of the day, each point meant 'a meal or drink of your choice', so the amount of pseudo-fights that broke out on that day was high. To an outsider, that would seem quite dangerous but... To the Oni, it was a joyous occasion that rewarded one's ability to attack and defend. It was especially popular with competitive and gluttonous Oni like Kara.


After nodding to her memory of the child Oni she had thrown 10 meters away into a tree trunk (resulting in his head poking out of the other side) six years prior, Kara turned her attention back to the Golem on the ground. "So... 'O're you karana?

Anculus's body crashed into the hard floor and if he had the capacity for such he probably would have been impressed. All he knew was that he had reached out to touch this creatures back only to have his heavy body on his back. Not moving, he stayed on the ground for a moment as she spoke "Speech analysis...eastern creature...species is still to be determined...has an apparent impediment to speech pattern." Now he moved his legs so that his feet were flat on the ground and the rest of his body raised off the ground from that position until he was once again standing tall looking down at the one who had thrown him. "Skin tone of red autumn leaves...horns on head...general large stature...powerful muscle tone...bright piercing eyes...primitive coverings...secondary analysis completed." Anculus then took the time to respond to her actions and to her questions as he spoke in a deep masculine monotonous voice. "Wazari...please elaborate. Counter a strike...who has attacked you. I do not mean to start a quarrel with but please restrain your self from throwing me again or defense commands will be engaged. I am not Karana...I am a golem...I am here to find and serve my master...If you find it necessary to call me something Anculus is sufficient...I will now wait for your response."  I He stood looking down at her through the magma filled eye slit and also glanced at the skeleton man every once and awhile. @Mistory @Ensig

The skeletal teen couldnt help but chuckle, fibding it safe to approach.


"A golem? Thought those were simply hebrew fairytales. Then again a walking skeleton and a horned giantess are likely works of fiction aswell. Anculus, you said? Sorry bout that. As i thought,Kara here is a fighter. You simply surprised her, I think..."the girl was endearing, and he could already see himself spending alot of time with here while they were in school, but atleast with this fellow...he didnt think to hard on that, with this giant, he figured he wouldnt have to dumb it down, no disrespect to the female of the trio.


The skeleton realized he had to crane his neck, to look at the pair, and grumbled, taking a long inhale. He then whistled,and from the nearest mound of dirt a small...it looked like the skeleton of a deceased canine of some kind, came crawling free. It shook itself of any dirt residue, and hurried over. It was about to the skeletons knee, witch would do. It lowered itself, and he stepped up, its ribs being used as a stand as it rose him up to atleast eye level with his new female friend,running a boney hand over the back of his spine.


"God we need shorter people. I hope bot everyone is as tall as you two, or my neck is gonna snap from the strain!"


@Ensig @Seraph

"Imped... Impedimimement?" she mimicked, bringing a hand to her chin and closing her eyes in thought as the Golem rose to its feet. "Ihm-pehd-ih-men-tt? Wassat, kara?" she asked, only to notice that the Golem was looking at her up and down. He then said some longer words, which made Kara knit her brows in confusion. Even if part of her necklace translated the words she heard to the Oni language, if she didn't know the equivalent in her own language there was no way she would understand. Before she could ask what in the world it was talking about, however, it started talking to her rather than itself.


Listening to its monotone voice, Kara continued trying her best to understand it despite its complex words... But she could only make a small portion of it out. Thankfully, those bits included its questions, so Kara responded. "A Wazari's a 'alf point, kara! S' t' allow points t' be 'dded 'ithout yer opp'nent bein' fully pinned karana! An' by 'strike' ah was meanin' the touch, kara. S' jus' called that durin' the Sōgi Kyōen karana. 'Cause ah did it ba' instinc', i' r'minded me o' the 'estival 's all![COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]"[/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]After she finished explaining herself, Kara did her best to mull through the rest of his words... But there were just so many she didn't understand. Part of her wished that the weird creature(?) in front of her would repeat itself, but another part of her thought that even if she did, it would just use bigger words and complicate things further. [/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]That was why, when Bones stepped in, a smile spread on Kara's face.[/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]When he mentioned a 'Golem', Kara could grasp that it was a race of some kind when he also mentioned a skeleton (him) and a horned giant (her). When he said the name of the 'Golem', Kara let out a slight "[/COLOR]Ohh[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]", as she had thought it was just another complex word she didn't know of. Not everything this 'Anculus' said was explained, but Kara was grateful enough that she now knew its name and Race. She'd have to give Bones a present later. Maybe some milk? Milk was good for bones, right?[/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]Nodding to her idea for a gift but wondering where in the world she would find the milk, Kara watched with amazement as a skele-dog hopped out of the ground to be used as a stool by Bones. ''[/COLOR]A pet kara? 'll i' grow with 'im when 'e 'comes real big karana?[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]' she wondered as her skeletal friend stepped onto its ribs and met her eye-level. To be frank, she was a bit relieved that he did so, given the fact that she didn't like looking down on her friends -- figuratively or literally. When he complained about his neck hurting, Kara gave a wry smile. "[/COLOR]Ah c'd jus' carry ya on m' shoulders if y' wanted.[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]" she offered. Of course, she wouldn't be able to always carry him about... He'd have to come down every time they arrived at a door, or risk turning into a human -- er, skeletal -- battering ram.[/COLOR]


"Anyhow..." Kara turned back to Anculus, "Din' mean no 'arm by th' throw, kara. Sorry if ya go' 'urt karana."






@Seraph @Mistory
 
Anculus turned as the skeleton began to speak ready to comply to any questions or requests. Speaking to the skeleton man he still looked over his head and in the same tone of voice began his banter. "Yes my predecessors do come from a Hebrew background but as you can see I am quite real...analysis begin." He began to look the skeleton man up and done as the skeledog approached him and he took his place upon its back. "Analysis...skeletal male...modern garb...air suggest apparent nicotine addiction...has height issues...speech recognized...Initial analysis completed. She is a giantess...interesting I will note this information...name Kara. What shall I store your information under sir?" Turning now to the giantess he watched as she struggled to say some of the words he had spoken and took on a face of confusion. Then she answered his questions from prior and he simply nodded after she had explained most of it. This giantess however also had a speech that was quite difficult for him to decipher so he followed along to the best of his current capability. "Translation accent processing...impediment processing...If you wish I will translate or "tone down" what I said previously to the best of my capability if it would make you happy? He more or less took the liberty to just do so and began explaining what he had said. "I said that you are tall,strong,dressed very little and have attractive or pretty features...some of your features do not match that of a giantess. Then she apologized for throwing him and expressed some worry to if he had gotten hurt. Anculus took a knee at her feet and now looked up at her. "No harm was done and it is physically impossible for me to be hurt...however you have successfully beaten me by your rules. This means that I am now your servant." He remained kneeling waiting for a response. @Ensig @Mistory
 
Bones simply waved a hand,shaking his head.


"Sorry. I may have been misleading. She isnt a giantess, but her stature allows for such wording. " he gave a smile,taking a drag,clicking his teeth together with his everpresent grin as he turned to kara.


"Im a skeleton,hes a golem. Can you tell us what you are?"


@Ensig @Seraph
 
Egxsoke.jpg
As the Golem turned to Bones, it started using complicated words again, much to Kara's befuddlement. Of course, her confusion didn't play on her face, given the fact she wouldn't need to be the one to respond to... Whatever it was saying. Something about height issues? Regardless, when Bones turned to her and asked just what she was, Kara gave a proper reply.


"Kara's 'n Oni karana! Li'e Ogres, bu' smarter kara."


Of course, Kara was among the less intelligent Oni so she couldn't really take a lot of pride in her mental superiority, but... Well. Some of the Oni were quite smart, at least. Especially the ones that were over 400 years old.


To her surprise, the next time the Golem spoke he became significantly easier to understand (at least near the latter half of its speech), so figuring that it was explaining what it had said prior, Kara nodded along with "Ahh"s and "Ohh"s before tilting her head at the mention of 'attractive' and 'pretty'. The reason for her confusion was simple: she didn't know what either of the words meant. Oni hardly ever used such terms, and the times they did were when they were alone with their significant other... So to Kara, who was too young to have a mate, her confusion was well warranted.


Still, the two words seemed to be compliments of some sort, so Kara simply accepted them while scratching her chin, an awkward smile on her face. When the Golem knelt, however, her hand transitioned from her chin to her head as she wondered just what it was up to.


"No harm was done and it is physically impossible for me to be hurt..."


"Tha's a r'lief ka--"


"However, you have successfully beaten me by your rules. This means that I am now your servant."


"..."


Contrary to her usual responses, this time Kara paused at the Golem's words. If it were anyone else, they would have been confused about just how being beated meant they became a servant, but...


"Ah din' beat ya though kara. Y'need two wazari t' make a' ippon, an' only wi' an ippon d'you win karana."


Instead, Kara had paused because she was formulating how to correct the Golem's misunderstanding on the Oni point system. Much like a teacher to a child, she made a 'two' with her fingers when she mentioned the wazari, and a 'one' when she mentioned the ippon. When she had finished, Kara smiled at her own explanation, proud that she could impart some Oni knowledge into the weird metallic being. Still, surely the Oni wouldn't completely ignore that the Golem had offered its servitude, right?


"Also... Was' a 'surr-vent' kara?"


... Right.






@Seraph @Mistory
 
Anculus listened to her as she explained what she was, an oni as she called it. "Relation to ogres...noted..." He watched as she would nod her head and seem to understand what he was talking about. "Ah...I apologize...then you must try once again to defeat me...and servant is my name Anculus comes from the latin noun servant. It means I will protect and assist to the best of my capabilities." He looked down at her still staring waiting for a response. "Weight increase...shifting to flame..." His body changed from having magma flowing between the spaces of his armor to having flames erupting from the crevices and the ground beneath him began to crack. "Now if you would be so kind?" 


@Ensig @Mistory
 
Egxsoke.jpg
"Pr'tect n' 'ssisst karana...?" Kara brought a hand to her chin as she contemplated the existence of these 'servants' Anculus had mentioned. When it heated itself up and made itself heavy enough to break the ground underfoot, Kara brought a fist down on her opened palm, making a small *pon* noise with a face that practically screamed 'Oh, I got it!'.


"So 's a friend, kara!" she shouted, proud of coming to that realization all on her own. "Y'shoulda jus' said so-- karana?"


When she snapped out of her realization, Kara looked at the now-blazing Golem in front of her, a question mark practically becoming visible above her head as she wondered just what it was up to.


"Now if you would be so kind?" it said, making Kara think for a moment before realizing what it was saying.


"'Win 'gainst me 'f y'wanna be m' friend', huh? A'right! M'blood's boilin' karana!"


Jumping back, Kara's grin spread practically from ear to ear at the challenge. Truthfully, this hadn't been the first time this sort of 'Beat me to be my friend' situation had happened -- in fact, among Oni it was quite common -- so Kara didn't question it at all. Instead, she simply accepted Anculus' challenge.


Shifting the weight in her feet and getting into a runner's starting position, Kara took a deep breath... Before rushing forward.


*KYUUUUUUuuuuuuiiIIIiiiIIIInnnNNN*


With the wind screeching at her sudden acceleration, Kara arrived before the Golem in an instant. The horns on her sparked softly, yellow sparks trailing down her body and licking the surface of Anculus' metal body before settling at Kara's feet... And reducing the surface tension. It was only for an instant, but that instant was more than enough to cause the ground to lose its grip on Kara's feet, causing her to begin to slide. Of course, this wasn't by accident. Testament to that was when Kara kicked her right foot to the side lightly, changing her course to slide to the left of the Golem. A split second later, she kicked her left side, causing her to seemingly pass by the Golem entirely.


'Seemingly' because she had only done so after touching the back of its shoulder.


The time it took for the exchange to end was probably ~1.5sec.


"Hot, kara! Strike st'll 'anded though, karana! Three!" she shouted, blowing on the finger she had used to touch Anculus' shoulder and continuing the momentum of her run, practically leaping through the school's doors.


"Two!" she continued, leaping off of the walls (and surprisingly not breaking anything besides the common sense of other students making their way through the halls) and swerving through the many turns before looking behind her.


"One?" she muttered, slowing down to find that the Golem hadn't caught up to her -- in fact, it and Bones were no where to be seen.


"... G'ss ah win, kara?" With that, Kara arrived at the Girls' dormitory (although she didn't know that it was). She had won against Anculus in speed, but became lost in the process.






@Seraph @Mistory 


((I had a feeling that the interactions between Kara, Bones and Anculus would keep on going for at least 5 more posts, so I hastened the process. With this, the RP should be able to proceed after Bones and Anculus react, I guess?))

This time it was Bones turn to be confused. It took him a moment to realize a challenge was in progress, and by this time Kara was already moving. His only reaction(as he had learned from previous events) was to quickly press his boney hand to his skull,loke one who was holding a hat, as his perch shifted, the skeletal hound scrambling to pull ots master away.


Ever had your head literally knocked off? It isnt fun, and at the moment it was all the teen could do to prevent it.


Bone couldnt help but release a sigh of relief as she vanished into the school, before finishing off and disposing of his cigarette. The hound proceeded to carry the teen toward the door, Bones giving a salute to the golem.


"Sorry,mud man. Looks like you lose. Come on. Your new mistress has probably gotten lost..." the skeleton ducked his head as he was carried through the door way, adjusting his bag across his back.


"Kara?Kaaaaaraaaaaa! Whered you run off too..."


He was honestly in awe by the oni's agility. How the hell does something so large move so fast?


Oni are...demons,right? Could she have some ability that allows it?maybe...


"Oi, Mudman. What do you know of Oni?"


@Seraph @Ensig


(Sorry for being inactive. I try harder!)
 
The speakers that were all over the school began blaring to life. Then the sound of a lady came through the loud speakers"Hello, new students! Welcome to Giorna High School for Mystical Teens, or GHSMT! Please come to the cafeteria for introductions!" The loud speakers then fizzed out, the broadcast ended. (Sorry for not replying! Been real busy!)
 
At the noise of the loudspeaker, Paarthornax awoke. "I see my stuff has been delivered." he said as his laptop was sitting on the desk next to the window. He walked outside of his dorm and looked around. "I'll just follow the crowd of people, I'm sure they are all going the right way." With that being said, he stretched his wings and flew up into the air. He then began to follow the people as they all walked. When he made it into the cafeteria, he flew up to the ceiling and sat on a beam. "The less people I have to deal with the better."
 
Misa watched people walk past her in a rush through the gates as the loudspeaker ended. She shrugged her shoulders and followed the people , most of them staying away from her just based on her looks and overall feel of being around her. She growed at this slightly and mummbled something under her breath as they entered the cafeteria. The others seemed to scatter away from her, rolling her eyes she took a seat at the back of the cafeteria.


Crossing her arms and legs misa narrowed her eyes as she looked around seeing no body sat near her. She mummbled once more to herself and closed her eyes as if she didnt care what was going on.
 
Paarthornax sat swinging his leg watching all the people rush into the cafeteria. One thing caught his eye. There was a person who walked in that no one wanted to even be by her. He laughed. "Interesting, this normal looking person has people avoiding her. There are some ugly ass people here and they aren't being avoided. Lets say hi to this person." He leaped off the pipe and fell. He landed with a nice thud cracking the ground beneath him. He walked up to the girl sitting there. "Is this seat taken?"


@Fray Dracoheart
 
Misa looked up and shrugged at the person in front of her indicating she didnt really care if he sat there. As much as she wanted to be alone , its a high school it may not be possible to he alone for the next few years. Though technically she was never alone , Studing demonology meant she had many companions from the other side of the void. "Go ahead " she said in a monotone voice.
 
Misa thought for a second but couldnt think of any reason to be avoided "Don't know" she said bluntly before going back to what she was doing before the person next to her disturbed her, she didn't mind that but wanted to get some last minute stuff done before class.

"'Ello? 'Nyone 'ome kara?" the female Oni asked, peeping her head into the Dorm numbered '246'. Of course, the fact that this dorm was actually hers was completely unknown to Kara, as she had not only eaten the letter that contained her Dorm's number, but she didn't even know her numbers in the first place.


"Guess no one's 'ere karan--"


"Hello, new students! Welcome to Giorna High School for Mystical Teens, or GHSMT! Please come to the cafeteria for introductions!"


"UOoo?!"


Just as Kara was leaving the vacant(?) room behind, the words from the speaker caused her to take this pose while leaping back against the wall in shock. She had never come across a device capable of transmitting voices (as the Oni could simply shout loud enough to transmit their words over long distances), so the possibility of it being a device of some sort never crossed Kara's mind. Instead...


"'O're you karana? Y'look like... A box, kara? D'you live in there, karana?"


Kara figured it was a creature of some sort. The girls passing through the hallway gave her odd stares due to that, but not minding them, Kara eagerly awaited the response from the box-creature... Only for no response to come (obviously). It was after a couple of seconds that Kara tilted her head, wondering whether it heard her or not. Considering the fact that she was standing right in front of the speaker, however, she crossed that possibility out.


"... Maybe they fell 'sleep?"



Instead, she came to her own nonsensical conclusion as per usual.


With a single nod, Kara was convinced of her suspicion, and decided it would be rude to interrupt the strange creature's sleep. With that, she decided to go back to her original goal: find where the heck she was. Thankfully, students were still walking through the halls on the way to the cafeteria (the fact that they were only still around due to the congestion caused by avoiding Kara wasn't realized by the Oni in question), so she wouldn't have a lot of trouble... Hopefully.






((Kara will be a bit late for the orientation unless one of the female Characters in the dorms lead her there, but because I don't know which Rprs that have female characters are still around, I'll leave no mentions in this post.))
 

The thing laughed maniacally as it replayed over and over again. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU DID THIS TO HIM! YOU DID IT!" It shouted. 


"N-no! I didn't do it! I swear it was an accident!" He yelled back. But it was no use, it kept replaying again and again and again. Until finally he woke up, drenched in sweat and gasping. "Just a nightmare... just a nightmare..." He gulped. Getting out of bed and moving to the kitchen area, willing some grape vines forward he picked them off then made some apple juice and began eating. It wasn't easy with his burden, but he would make it. Hopefully. 


Moving outside for some fresh air he saw the letter addressed to him.


"How did they-..?" He shook his head. He began packing and moved off. To the high school it was for this Satyr!
 
Upon arriving at the school he heard the announcement, "Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!" He ran towards the cafeteria. Although on the way to the school he saw a couple trees, manipulating them to put his things away. Now beginning to run to the Cafeteria. Upon getting there he sat down alone. He knew what he was getting himself into but he did not want to socialize. Especially not after the accident. Instead he sat alone, without a shirt, which he soon realized. He cursed but he sat alone. At least everything was covered he thought. Thank whoever had made Satyrs for Fur. Still he sat alone, playing with a seed he had picked up. He made it grow, then stopped it. Then started. And stopped. He kept doing this for as long as he could before it ended. 
 
A woman, around her 30's to 40's, went to the front of the lunchroom. She shouted for the students to quiet down and waited until they did so. "Welcome to GHSMS! It is so nice to meet you all. First of all, the schedules for classes will be posted on the inside of the door in your dorms. All classes will have 5 minute breaks in between classes. I you have any concerns about the school, please speak to me or a staff member," she said. She smiled at the new recruits, glad to start a new year.
 
Egxsoke.jpg
"'S this th'place kara?" Kara asked, looking at the girl she had asked to aid her as a guide -- or, more accurately, abducted for directions. The poor young lass, now hanging limp with a pale face and lifeless eyes, managed to reply a small "Yes..." before going unconscious under Kara's arm. After that response, Kara, not noticing the fact that her actions would leave a permanent trauma on the girl, gave a small nod before entering the cafeteria.


"--ase speak to me or a staff member." was what she managed to catch from the woman standing out of the croud... But she wasn't really concerned. Kara hadn't come here for words... She came here for food. The reason: Kara had asked two questions of her guide before abducting her.


The first was ''ere's e'ryone goin'?'. The answer she received was the obvious choice: 'The cafeteria.'. Her second question was 'Wha's a 'Cah-feh-tear-ea'', which earned her a befuddled look before the answer: 'A place you eat food'. With those two answers, Kara had naturally arrived at the conclusion that the students were going to the cafeteria to eat.


With that figured out, Kara had an epiphany: since she was a student, she would also be able to eat at the cafeteria as well. It was during this epiphany that the student tried to explain that they were going to the cafeteria for a speech of sorts, and asked whether Kara heard the speakers... But the poor young woman's words fell on deaf ears.


Filled with excitement, Kara had picked up the student who graciously answered her questions, and broke into a run down the hallway. When she arrived at a turn, she asked the student which way to turn... And, perhaps out of shock, the student answered. Eventually, that shock became fear -- fear that if they didn't answer, the Oni would just run about indefinitely (with them under her arm), and so she continued giving her directions... The only problem was that Kara only asked which way to go sometimes, so she had managed to miss the cafeteria almost every time she got close (much to her guide's dismay).


Now that she had finally arrived, Kara was eager to eat... But what she found wasn't food, but a room filled with students looking at a single woman -- the one who had been speaking up until now. Since the room was quiet, Kara was even more confused... Meals were supposed to be loud, after all.


"Where's th' food kara?" Kara asked, her voice piercing through the silence as she adjusted her hold on the limp girl under her arm.






@Thalia Raiz
 
Oliver saw the Oni enter the cafeteria with the student under her arm, Not going to ask... he immediately thought. Wait where is the food? No matter Ollie! You can make your own remember? Just plant an apple tree or something! While Oliver couldn't make food appear out of no where what he could do was plant something and make it grow faster, then if it had food he could feast on whatever it was. The ultimate Gardener in a way, of course he didn't want to think of himself like that. But seeing how tall the Oni was and how he was a bit smaller than her he just hoped she didn't see him as a goat and tried to eat him...
