Fantasy Hawthorne Academy

[cojemo]

Suddenly, Mars felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. For a few seconds he was curious of who it could be, but remembering it was Saturday he instantly remembered. "Could you hold on for just a second, Ami? My dad just texted me." Every Saturday his father sent him a message along with a file that included a case for him to solve. Sometimes it was a simple mystery from a novel, and sometimes it was a very complicated case. Either way, it was something fun that the two of them had been doing ever since Mars had went to Hawthorne, and the fact that his dad was nice enough to send him a cash reward every time he solved one was just an added bonus. However, when he flicked open his phone and opened the text, it wasn't like the usual messages he received.

To: Mars


Subject: Saturday Case


Hey Mars, how's it going? Well, I have another case for you, but instead of sending the file through text, I sent it through email, because this is a much bigger case than any of the others I've given you, and it wouldn't be a good idea to solve this one on your phone. Also, don't worry about having this one done by next week, as I haven't even solved it yet. In fact, this is an unsolved case. Well, good luck, and hope school is treating you well. See ya, little detective!

​

Mars' eyes shot wide open with excitement. He had helped his dad solve cases before, but that was when the two of them were working together. This was completely up to him to solve by himself. He could hardly wait till he could start working on this project. Snatching the wraps he just gave Ami out of her hands, he turned and started into a sprint. "Sorry, something just came up. Maybe some other time." He started wrapping his arm frantically as he ran down the hall and to his room, wincing from the repeated pain he caused himself. He felt kind of bad, leaving Ami so unexpectedly, but he felt that he did a good enough job at welcoming her to the school. Plus, it wasn't like it was his only chance to show her around town, though he may not be free in the future. Either way, he didn't want to wait very long to get a look at this new case. By the time he reached the dorms, his arm was all bandaged up.

Bursting into his room, he sat down at the table his computer was on and opened up his email, only just noticing Geno was already there. He was reading one of Liams books, as Mars distinctly remembered the professor lending him it last year. "Hey Geno, how'd your date go?" Anyone with eyes could tell he was asking purely out of formality, as he was focused completely on the monitor in front of him. Spotting the email his father had mentioned, Mars immediately clicked it, causing a rather large file to be downloaded to his computer. Upon inspecting the file, he noticed it was a folder, and upon opening it, he was flooded with information. There were files on almost everything that would be needed in a case, including information on witnesses, possible suspects, residents of the area, old newspapers, and videos on interviews of the past. There was so much information that Mars could barely hold in his excitement. Clicking on the first file, which he assumed was what his father had intended since the rest was organized into folders, he finally learned exactly what he was going to be dealing with from a newspaper dated almost 6 months


ago.

Man found dead, local serial killer suspected.




​

At first Mars believed it was some other criminal, but upon reading the article his thoughts were changed. Where he had grown up, there was a murder that had happened when he was six, and every six months after that someone else died. People suspected it was done by the same person because the same weapon seemed to be used for every murder. The authorities had obviously never caught him, so Mars felt extremely intimidated by this. How was he supposed to solve something that his father wasn't able to for 11 years? Shaking his head, he tried to bring himself back into the correct mindset. You can do this. As long as you focus, you should be able to figure out who it is. Despite his encouragement, he still had doubts. Opening the folder marked Newspapers, he began pouring over information.

-What ya worrying about sugar? Missed me right?~ More Shilake on the go~ -


The night was... very exciting with many twist and turns everywhere. Shinji couldn't object to anything that he didn't expect it to go this easy and he didn't even suspect that Blake would accept him but he did though he did fight some bit here and there, bite marks covering Shinji's neck but Shinji got him back leaving a few "bug bites" to repel those nasty bugs that try to get close to him. It has also been a nice blissful night for Shinji because this time he was able to sleep in peace without having that horrible nightmare come bite at him. Maybe it was because of Blake was by his side or because they had been up all night long but whatever it was, Shinji didn't care.


Feeling a poke at his side, Shinji turned to his head to see Blake laying beside him with a look of concern, Shinji getting up a bit and laid his head on his hand. Blake seemed to be worry about something, his eyes not meeting his and his voice cracked just like a broken radio. Blake's words made Shinji's chest squeeze painfully as he took hold of Blake's chinand turn his head to look at him straight in the eye,"Blake, I'm not the type for one night stands so it's your choice if you want to be with me or not but I'll let you know a little about me." Shinji began as he got closer to Blake, his lips near his ear with his breath breathing on his neck,"I don't let my prey run away that easily." Shinji growled nibbling at Blake's earlobe lovingly before moving away and running a hand on Blake's cheek gently,"So... will you accept such a lover like me?" Shinji said his eyes showed such beautiful gentle red that burn with love for Blake, Shinji pulling in to give Blake a peck on the forehead then the cheeks and lastly on the lip, the kiss lasting for a minutes until he pulled away.

Although feeling sheepish Blake could not look away any longer because Shinji moved his head so they were looking straight at each other. Blake had to bury a relieved sigh when Shinji told him he wasn't one for one night stands and that it was up to him to pursue the relationship, however that got Blake to thinking did he? Was he mentally prepared for another relationship, after the last one ended up with him...losing an eye? Maybe it was time to move on, after all Blake felt...safe with Shinji, and as cliché as it sounded, he felt like he was meant to be with him, that he wasn't forced in the relationship, and immediately Blake felt that he could open up a bit more to Shinji, albeit it was at a snail’s pace, his walls were crumbling, not in a bad way of course. However Blake was snapped out of his thoughts when Shinji gave him a 'little piece of information' before nibbling at his ear. Blake's breath hitched and he let out a moan that subsided when Shinji caressed his cheek. After the gentle kisses Blake knew that he was ready for this.


"Yes....I'll accept a lover like you, as crazy as that sounds," Blake replied with a hint of a smile. "Also I have something to reveal about myself as well."


Leaning in closer Blake smirked and put a hand to Shinji's cheek.


"I don't run away, I fight." Blake whispered before giving Shinji's ear playful nip.


Sure their relationship might be odd, sure they was probably going to be a few bumps in the road, but for now, and probably for a while, Blake new this was going to be one hell of an experience.

~Professor Crysta Chime~

​

Crysta nodded at Luke, and smiled, saying, "Alright. Have a seat."


The woman took a moment to gather her thoughts, and then began the brief explanation of what she had gone over the other day.


"Most of my students were interacting with eachother moments before they thought my class was starting, whether they were making conversation, touching eachother psychically, or connecting with eachother spiritually. You may not know what connecting spiritually with someone is...but that's fine. You will learn." she smiled, repeating almost word-for-word what she had told the class. "Connecting spiritually is when you look at someone, and you catch a glimpse of their aura. Just a glimpse. All of you have probably done this at a point, when you look at someone and think, 'that person looks nice' or 'that's someone I want to stay clear of''. That's because you saw their aura. If you can't tell anything about the person, they have a very shy aura, that hides and won't let anyone see it. Those are the people who you have to get close to and talk to, and usually, the aura pops right out. Of course, some people's auras can be deceiving. So it really is best to go talk to the person to find out if you were right about them. Most of the class thought I was weird and strange...that's because my aura is, indeed, weird and strange. So most of them actually connected with me spiritually."


Crysta paused for a moment, about to blurt out that she had seen more than one aura with Luke...but decided to keep her mouth shut about the subject.


"There is so much more to Meditation and Focus besides auras, that's just a fraction of a fraction of what this class is about...and there is still so much about auras, I could go on forever. Whether or not a person's aura is shy has nothing to do with the person's personality. The shyness of an aura is solely determined by one's spiritual power. Through meditation, you can get more in touch with your spiritual side, thus making your aura stronger. The stronger your aura, the less shy it will be."


Crysta had no idea if Luke was following everything she was saying, but continued anyway.


"When one has a strong aura, it strengthens their power as well. Having a strong aura is what enables someone to search deeper into their soul, unlocking more and more of their ability as time passes. I've been on this earth for many years, and still most of my power remains hidden within the depths of my soul. So imagine; if you are this strong now, imagine how much stronger you will be once you get in touch with your spiritual side."


The woman stopped again, and then smiled.


"I guess that's about it." she laughed. Suddenly, the woman gasped and said, "How did I only just realize how late it's getting? You need to head back to your dorm, Luke!" 

The sound of a loud bell echoed throughout Hawthorne, each of it's seven chimes seemingly louder than the last. It was seven o'clock a.m on Monday morning, the first real day of classes. Some students woke up at the crack of dawn to finish up their homework, get some breakfast from the dining hall, meet up with some friends, sleep in, or practice some pre-determined morning routine.

Calista awoke from the sound of the alarm and stood there frozen like a scared mouse. The loud bell had frighten her dearly but she soon calmed down as she let out a loud yawn to start off the day. Stretching out her tired bones, she looked to the side to see that Lyra wasn't here again, the bed still neatly folded from yesterday,"Huh? Lyra must be very busy." Calista thought as she got up from her bed and went to get ready for the day. Today, Calista wore a little white dress with black leggings along with matching black wedges to go along with her outfit. Putting on her glasses and pulled her hair in a ponytail, she hopped off to go have some breakfast, throwing her bag onto her shoulder and shutting the door behind her.


Walking to the front of the school, she noticed a body laying on one of the benches of the school, Calista shocked to see one as she got closer to see it was Lyra,"L-lyra?! W-what is she doing in a place like this?" Calista thought and went to get a better look at the girl to see if she was okay. It seemed that she was fine, only sleeping but Calista was surprised to see that no one came to kidnap her, sighing in relief and looking around for anyone near by,"What should I do? S-should I wake her up? B-but is that okay?" Calista thought debating on what to do and went to grab a stick from the trees.


Picking one of the twigs that had fell from the trees, she poked at Lyra's sleeping face, poking at her cheeks with the end of the stick,"Is she still alive?" Calista thought still poking and waiting for some kind of reaction.

Spoiler

-Poke poke... Lyra be dead asleep ._.-


@Rai-Chan


---------------------------------------------------------------


Shinji groaned deeply when Blake started to return the affection by nipping at his ear playfully. Shinji grin as he tackled Blake onto the bed, getting on top,"Fight you say? I wonder if we still have time for ano-" Before Shinji could finish his sentence, the sound of seven bells rang as one bell after the other seemed to get more louder than the one before. With a snarl, Shinji cursed the bell for ruining his time to go for another round but he couldn't fight it, sighing and looking back at Blake,"Seems I'll save it for tonight. Shall we take a bath together, we didn't take one last night because of... that." Shinji said indicating their "exercise" as he got off of Blake and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Blake to come with him.

​

Mountain Dew. . .tea-party. . .Johnathon. . .CAJUNK. . .oww, my ears. . .


Lyra grumbled slightly, her sleepy, dreamlike thoughts merging with reality as the girl felt something pointy poke at her cheek. She woozily swatted at it with her hand, rolling off of the bench in the process. The girl let out a tiny yelp as she landed on the day old bruise on her hip. Groaning, Lyra sat up, placing a hand over her aching hipbone. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, then looked up at the blurry yet somewhat familiar figure standing in front of her. At first, she couldn't make out who it was due to her sleepiness.


"Ohh. . .good morning, Calista." the President smiled once she realized who it was. "What's shakin'?"


Lyra's eyes then fell on the stick, the something clicked in the girl's slow moving mind like puzzle pieces fitting together. She pointed at the culprit of her waking and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Did you just poke me with that?"


Lyra stood up and stretched, yawning once more. Her back was aching from the night spent on the hard wooden bench, but at least she had her energy again. Sort of. The girl gently touched her newly pierced ear, and then winced. Yeah, she probably should have known that they were going to hurt for a while.


Then, it hit her.


"Oh my God." she gasped, clapping a hand over her mouth. "We have classes today! OH MY GOD I DIDN'T DO ANY OF MY HOMEWORK."


Lyra quickly whipped her phone out of her pocket, which surprisingly still had some battery left, and shot a text to the first person that came to mind.

To: Mars-Bars


Subject: EMERGENCY EMERGENCY RED ALERTSDFGHJKL


MARS! I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT ALL OF OUR HOMEWORK. MEET ME AT THE FRONT BUILDING, STAT.

All of the caps lock would show him that she meant business, right? Lyra wasn't a copier, so it's not like she wanted to steal his homework and copy off of him. . .she just needed some help. Some moral support.


Calista would probably help with that, too.

 

[Holo]

Anthony sat in front of the healing and protection 101 room meditating with wax in his ears and had been for a while. His eye was black and his lip split as he sat looking really tore up and uncomfortable. "One detention and a warning is more than enough for me." Anthony had said at the nurses office when they tried to drag him in but he left before they started.


Anthony felt way worse than he looked but only because his roommate had a date the night before and he didn't even have a friend.


Anthony could still feel the hard punch to the guy that idiot had given him the day before behind the dorm. He had been looking back there since he saw something strange and sure enough the jock and two friends jumped him. Hard.


Hopefully his partner was nice and would tolerate him and they would work well together but Anthony wasn't expecting any luck with that. He didn't even want to see a but of flirting but knew he would so he figured he'd try to have fun.

 

[cojemo]

Mars' eyes cracked open at the sound of his alarm set to 6:30. He always preferred to be awake before the school bell went off, so it gave him time to get things done ahead of time. Well, AHEAD ahead of time. As he turned his head to look around, though, he realized that he was still at his computer, meaning he must've fell asleep while looking over the murder case. He wasn't even half way done the information given, let alone building a theory. Getting into a new change of clothes, he put his work and a few books into his bag before heading out of the dorm, just in time for the bell to ring. I wonder how many people actually have their homework done, what with the charity date auction and everything. With a small smirk on his face, he was brought to attention by his phone vibrating in his pocket. Flipping open his phone, he couldn't help but let out an audible laugh. "Well, guess that answers my question."

Closing his phone back up, he made his way over to the front of the building. He wasn't sure exactly what help he could give provided the nature of the work, but he wasn't one to turn down a request for help when he was available. Besides, he had to keep up his reputation as the guy who was always ready for anything. Though, he wasn't able to practice Giovia's suggested techniques because of his injury, but he had used them in the past so he felt he could slide by. Arriving to meet Lyra, he noticed that her hair was a little messy and... were her ears pierced? He also noticed that Calista was there, though he didn't know her very well personally. Putting his arm up to wave, he winced, realizing his arm was still hurt from before. He still had the bandage on as well, though he thought it gave a cool look to him so he didn't complain. "You called? I don't know exactly how I can help, but I'll see what I can do." He flashed a small smile as he pulled out his history work from his bag. Sometimes he wondered how Lyra became the student president, but remembered promptly that it was her enthusiasm and NOT her work ethic that made her fit for her position.

 

[AshenLily]

"What in the hell is that INFERNAL ringing?!" Cylva sat bolt upright, nearly falling off of her bed, in the process. The bell was loud. Really loud. "Gods, is that really necessary?" she roared, to no one in particular, forgetting the fact that she was supposed to have a roommate. She'd wandered the grounds for a good majority of the evening, finally returning to her dorm around 11 PM, at which point she'd fallen fast asleep. Needless to say, Cylva was not a morning person. Not in the slightest.


Dragging herself out of bed, she stood, and walked over to her closet. Hmmmm, what to wear...? Oh, look! A turtleneck! And another... and another. She sighed softly to herself, remembering the bliss of the previous night. "Hopefully I'll have enough free time today, to run into town, and get some new outfits..." Why is my back so stiff? She felt like she'd slept on a slab of concrete, rather than a bed. Reaching back behind her, to massage one of the knots out of her back, she encountered a hard material. The crystal. Damnit, all. Of course. No wonder it felt like she'd slept on a rock, she had. A simple pattern, approximately three inches wide, ran down her spine. She sighed, and continued getting ready, wondering what would be for breakfast, and hoping it would be better than the Fettuccine from the day before.

~Lyra~

​

"You called? I don't know exactly how I can help, but I'll see what I can do."


Lyra spun around and breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Mars's familiar face. She hadn't seen him since the tea-party. . .oh, crap, she still had to clean that up. . .unless somebody had taken the initiative to do it for her. She decided that she would check it out after school.


Lyra was about to start rambling on about what had happened after giving him one of her signature hugs. . .but then she noticed his arm. Lyra clapped a hand over her mouth as she approached him, looking him over and asking, "What happened to you?!"


She almost reached out to touch his arm, but quickly decided that it probably wasn't a great idea. Her eyebrows knit together, concern written all over her face. She stuck out her bottom lip and asked, "Did somebody do this to you, Mars? I swear, if someone had the. . .the nerve to injure you. . .I mean. . .how are you supposed to--wait, was it just another training mishap?"


Lyra tilted her head slightly, her hand automatically going to her ear to play with her brand new earring. It felt strange to have something going right through her lobe, so she couldn't help but mess with it. . .even though the person who did the job specifically told her not to mess with them or they might get infected.


Eh, she was willing to take that chance.

 

[cojemo]

"Did somebody do this to you, Mars? I swear, if someone had the. . .the nerve to injure you. . .I mean. . .how are you supposed to--wait, was it just another training mishap?"


Mars scratched the back of his head nervously, which was something he did often when he was embarrassed or hesitant on something. "Yeah, it was another training mishap, though I'm getting the hang of it! I would have finally did it if it wasn't for-" He suddenly stopped as he realized that the reason he had messed up was because he was distracted by her and Johnathan for whatever reason. He wasn't just going to tell her that, as he still wasn't sure about that whole ordeal himself. "Well, the point is I'm fine. It's nothing I haven't dealt with before, though thanks for your concern." Even though he always tried to be tough and try to fight through things himself, he always liked when people showed interest or concern. Lyra was always good for that, and it's not like he could rely on Blake for a worried inquiry.


Since he first saw her ears, Mars was still trying to figure out why exactly Lyra had gotten a piercing. Mars always found the idea of stabbing yourself in the ear for a piercing or carving into your skin for a tattoo a completely stupid and ridiculous idea. From what he did know, though, most piercings or tattoos were made either out of impulse or peer pressure, and the only person she had been with was Johnathan. What exactly did those two do? He once again felt that familiar feeling that he had been trying to solve since the first day of school, his fists involuntarily clenching. He shook his head in order to clear those thoughts from his head, and upon realizing that he had seemingly shaken his head for no reason, he quickly tried to divert attention. "Anyways, how did your day with Johnathan go? did you do anything interesting? And stop messing with your ear already, it increases the chance of infection!" The last part just sort of slipped out of his mouth without his consent, though it didn't seem like a BAD thing to say sporadically, so he just left it. Still, he was usually good with keeping things to himself, and this just confused him more.

~Lyra~

​

"Yeah, it was another training mishap, though I'm getting the hang of it! I would have finally did it if it wasn't for-"


Lyra raised an eyebrow as Mars stopped short, and she couldn't help but asked, "If it wasn't for what?"


It didn't really matter how it happened, the fact was. . .it happened. And Mars was hurt. Lyra sucked in her cheeks, and then she got an idea. She would simply take him to Giovia. She was a healer, and could easily fix his arm. . .and her hip! AND her ears! Well, her ears didn't really need fixing. They were just a little bit sore.


"Well, the point is I'm fine. It's nothing I haven't dealt with before, though thanks for your concern."


Lyra shook her head, and held up the hand that wasn't preoccupied by earring meddling and said, "Don't worry about it. What are friends for?"


The girl grinned, and was about to ask if they could get down to business with her homework when Mars spoke again.


"Anyways, how did your day with Johnathan go? Did you do anything interesting? And stop messing with your ear already, it increases the chance of infection!"


Lyra immediately dropped her hand, and her expression changed from bubbly to almost sad as he mentioned Johnathon's name. The girl sighed and said, "It went fine. We went to the mall and hung out. . .that's all."


She left out the part about how nonchalantly he had just left her at the bus stop after they had gotten back when she was so weak and tired. He could have walked her back to her dorm, right? Was their date so awful that he just wanted to be rid of her ask fast as he could? Lyra's stomach hurt just thinking about it, but being sad wasn't going to change anything.


Lyra looked back up, her smile returning as she gestured to her ears, "But do you like them? I chose the prettiest studs they had! Silver flowers! Aren't they cute?"

 

[cojemo]

"If it wasn't for what?"


Mars was simply going to ignore the question for obvious reasons, though a part of him actually considered telling her why. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on himself, and someone else could definitely help change that. That didn't mean he WAS going to say anything. There were people he could go to that would help him figure out the issue much faster, like the meditation teacher. With Crysta's power, it would be quite easy for her to pinpoint the cause of this disturbance in his natural order. Actually, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should do that when I have some free time. Plus, if his worst fears were realized and he was actually in love, then he'd prefer to know that before saying anything to Lyra. He barely knew anything about the practical concepts of love, so he would need to do a lot of reading up on the subject if that was the case. In the end though, Mars just decided to ignore the comment and hope she forgot about it.


"It went fine. We went to the mall and hung out. . .that's all."


Mars noted the sudden change in her facial expression the second he mentioned the smokers name, her entire attitude shifting completely. Did that mean that things didn't go over well? It seemed the most logical assumption, and a part of him, the part he was still trying to figure out, was extremely happy at this prospect. Another part of him, though, felt a little sad himself. At the end of the day, unanswered feelings aside, he still considered her his friend, and seeing someone as peppy and cheerful as Lyra be so disheartened wasn't a good feeling. Still, he was never very good at the whole 'cheering up' deal, as he was much too blunt for that. If he tried to say something now, it would probably sound like a 'I told you so'. "Sorry." Was all he could think of saying, and he expected her to either retort by saying 'What do you have to be sorry about? everything's fine.' or simply ignore it.


"But do you like them? I chose the prettiest studs they had! Silver flowers! Aren't they cute?"


Mars felt relieved that she changed the subject to something less sensitive, to something he could be blunt about and have less repercussions. Looking at the pieces of jewelry, he could see how someone would find them 'cute'. However, she had asked what HIS opinion was, not what other people might think. He relaxed, running his good hand through his hair. "To be honest, I don't really have an opinion on the look of them. I've never really cared how something appears, as long as it is functional I'm fine with it. Also, why would you get earrings in the first place? What's the point of having a piece of metal hanging from a hole in your ear? It just seems completely ridiculous to me." Mars let out a satisfied sigh. Well, if it IS love that has been bothering me, it's good to know that it hasn't affected my attitude. His main fear of love is that it would drastically change who he was, and he did not want that all. He loved himself the way he was. Still he hoped that he wasn't to blunt with his statement. Even if she was offended, though, she would get over it quickly, plus she still needed him to help with her homework which, by the urgency portrayed in her text, he assumed would be the next path of conversation.

~Rafaela~

​

Rafaela grinned as she watched Travis powers. She liked his power, it was pretty and colorful.


"Wow, that's some cool stuff you got there, Trav!" She said with a grin in her face. Tom ruffled his feathers, apparently, he liked it as well. Suddenly, that same butterfly approached the brunette, floating right beside her ear. Raph made a concentrated face as she listened to what the butterfly had to say. Her squinted eyes soon widened, as if just remembering something.


"Merda, I forgot!" She turned to Tami and Travis, making an apologetic face. "Sorry guys, but I gotta go. I have to find out who my roommate is and I don't know when my class will start either since I... Kind of lost the... Paper with the information..." She scratched the back of her head as she tried to hide her embarrassment. Well, it's not like it was her fault! She isn't exactly the most organized person on Earth! Also, the trip was a mess, she was bounded to lose something. Though she wished it wouldn't have been something important as the paper which contained the information about her class. Well, stuff happens.


"So, I'm gonna go and try to find a teacher or someone to help. It was a pleasure to meet you! Bye bye!" Rafaela entered the building, leaving the two behind. She didn't notice that Tom was still on her shoulder, so she grinned when he practically slapped her face with his wing. "Geez, Tom! What was that for?" The pigeon cooed loudly at her ear, which made the girl wince lightly. "Ouch! Calm down! Relax! I don't think they have a problem with animals inside the building." She paused before adding quietly. "Well, at least I hope not." The gesture that Tom made resembled a "facepalm", though, since he's a pigeon it would be more of a "facewing". Raph made sure to keep that to herself, she didn't want to stress the pigeon even more.


The halls didn't seem to have an end, she had been walking in circle for at least 15 minutes. And not a sign of a teacher. She sighed loudly, slumping her shoulders in defeat. The pigeon managed to keep his balance, so she didn't worry about him. Rafaela kept walking, and she would walk until a gentle soul came to her and rescued her. That would be nice.

 

[Larry]

That's some noise, the Irishman groaned mentally as he reluctantly maneuvered himself out the seemingly and surprisingly comfortable bed. He had never felt such a good sleep since sleeping in his own bed at home, how things change. With a rather vehement yawn that symbolized his desire to lie in bed, he pushed himself to the bathroom to wash himself up. After choosing all the garments for his first day in class, he hopped into the shower for a nice rinse. After getting out dripping wet, dried himself up, messed his hair in precisely the right way, Luke Bell looked ready for his first day officially at Hawthorne Academy. But from what Ms. Chime told him last night, that in her class, people are going to judge by your aura; well with him, they had a choice of which one. Do they want the normal, plain Luke Bell his Irish to his core, the psychotic one that was obsessed with making them, as he would say to being the most powerful thing at this school. The other that arrived fairly recently, was just plain seriousness and adrenaline-pumping action personified, all he wanted to do was to be angry. Well, it was bound to be an interesting first day there was no doubt about that. The one thing that he hoped to keep under wraps was the disease that he had, people would get very warped and discriminatory opinions he could imagine.But in the end, that was only a thought that may or may not come to fruition. And if it does, he could German suplex them through a table. Come on Luke, that's no way to think about acting towards your classmates, he thought chastizingly in his head as he donned his clothes. Black shoes, blue jeans, a green t-shirt today with underneath a navy hoodie with the sleeves pulled up to the elbow. Perfect, just the way he liked it. Now there was also the matter of getting food. Now back in Ireland, he didn't do that nonsense of eating the food in the canteen, he just went home and ate there. Luke was a finicky eater so was very unlikely to try and eat new pieces of food, completely unlike his parents who devoured their meals in an instant.


"Those were the days," he laughed to to himself, well aware of his sleeping dorm mates, "But these are new times. Even when you don't want change, sometimes it's best to go along with it."


Seeing that the room was still dark, he felt like using his ability for a few moment. An ability that allowed to merge himself with the shadows so that he could glide through them like a bird in the air. The sensation was always a strange one he noted on several occasions. It would compare to swimming underwater at high speed without the need to breathe. Yes, that's what it would sound like if Luke had to explain it himself. After zipping around the room for sometime, he decided that it was enough for the time being, gathering all the things into his bag, including the mask just for sure.


With that, he walked out of the room and headed on his way to a new day.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole felt for her phone to turn off her alarm. Nichole managed to get it and turn off the alarm. "Ugh..."usually she would be peppy in the mornings. But not today. She rubbed her eyes and grumbled walking to the bathroom. After rereading a letter saying they gave away some of the stuff that you spent YOUR OWN MONEY on, who wouldn't be cranky and pissed in the morning. Nichole groaned rubbing her temples as she stepped under the shower head. "Why? They never asked me. 'Oh no she wouldn't mind. I mean she did work at that cafe just so she would have enough money to get the stuff she wanted. No! She wouldnt mind at all!' thats a load of shit and they know it!" Nichole said starting to get pissed off. The water started to get colder and started freezing. they wouldn't like it if someone did that to them. So why do it to me?! Why not give him kouji's old room?! He already move out for Pete's sake! Oh she's the youngest. She'd understand. Lets just sell HER stuff and tell her about it. She'll be fine without all that stuff.


Nichole growled and her eyes darkened some. "Im gonna freaking kill them!" She said getting out of the shower and got dressed. In a black and red skirt, top, a black and red bow in her hair, black knee high socks. And black combat boots. "No one just takes my stuff without asking." She muttered. they wont know what hit them.

​

"Hey Geno, how'd your date go?" He hadn't even realized Mars had entered the room. The words cut like daggers, and he winced. "It went.. Uh.. Fine.." He looked up at Mars. "... You aren't even listening, are you?" When he got no response, he decided to turn his attention back to the books. Eventually people went to sleep, and he was the only one still awake. Man, these sleep cycles really sucked at times. After finishing two books, he made a small ball of the metal. He just intensively stared at it for a few minutes, while thinking about those technique things. "Hm.. Maybe I should give it a shot.." He thought.


He put the ball in the center of his palm, and concentrated. Tried to grip the feeling of it's temperature and weight changing. He definitely thought he felt something after a while. Something changing within the orb he'd created. He closed his eyes, took hold of the feeling, and tried to change it, if even a little. He opened his eyes and looked at the ball. It still looked the same. He felt as if he was changing something, but nothing was happening.


Out of frustration he changed whatever he was doing drastically, and kept changing it. Suddenly the orb started burning his hand, and it felt as if he was holding a cliff in his hand. It was so heavy! He couldn't hold it for more than a second, and dropped it. He panicked, and barely managed to make it disappear before it hit the floor. He looked around the room. No one seemed to have been woken up by that, phew.


He looked down at his hand, and noticed the second-degree burn on it. He quietly whispered "Ow. Fu**". He snuck into the bathroom and poured cold water over it for about thirty minutes. He made a mental note to not try that again anytime soon, and to try it more controlled next time. He went back to his books and waited the night out.

--------------------------------------------- THE NEXT MORNING ---------------------------------------------

​

The loud bells broke loose just as he finished the last book (Spent the entirety of sunday reading!). He was getting quicker at reading. Wait, did he say bells? Seems like Mars liked getting up earlier than the bells. He seemingly went through his morning routine, and didn't offer a word to poor lonely Geno. Geno muttered a "Good morning.." but apparently it wasn't enough to reach his ears. Wonder if Mars had anything against him? Maybe it had been distasteful to donate such a large amount, or maybe he was disappointed, maybe he knew how rich Geno was, and thought he should donate more!


He left the room and Geno got bored. Everything so quiet, and boring, and stuff. He didn't have anything else to read, so he just got up and put on some sensible clothes. He had bandages around his hands now, and if anything hit the center of his palm, he still felt it burn slightly. Sheesh, he had to be more careful. The wound had almost healed, something about his black blood seemed to heal him faster, but not at inhumane speeds, but it stilll hurt. He opened the door and left.


Once outside, he noticed a small gathering. He saw Mars' back, and thought he recognized the other people as well, so he decided he didn't have anything better to do. He put his hands in his pocket and walked over. "... Good morning guys.." He said, without looking up. He let his eyes wander up at the people gathered. There was a girl sitting on a bench he recognized. ".... Hm.. You're Lyra.. Right?.." He raised an eyebrow, and asked: "Hey.. You didn't have ear piercings two days ago, did you?" He had an excellent memory, when it came to everything but names, and he was pretty sure she didn't have anything shiny dangling off of her ears back then.


His eyes wandered up to Mars, and he said (To avoid accidently offending him, in greek) "Και εσύ είσαι... Noioso." He even switched to Italian, to make sure he didn't get it. What was the chances of him knowing both languages anyway? It was more of a whisper anyway, so hopefully no one had understood that it was meant for Mars anyway.


He kept looking around the group, and first now realized that Calista was there? His eyes widened for a moment, and he turned his head away to avoid showing the smile that spread across his face when he saw her. He scratched his neck and gave her a small smile too. "Good morning.. Calista." That's a name he wouldn't forget for quite some time.

​

Gwen looked around the school. It was way cooler than she had expected. Really big, and nice looking, too. Maybe she'd enjoy it here anyway. Her driver had been completely convinced that the adress was wrong when they got here. He just kept shouting that it was an empty field, the madman. Gwen had to remember to call her father and tell him that her driver had gone insane. She picked up her suitcases. She felt so primitive, having to carry them all by herself, but she supposed that this might be what was necessary.


It was still very early, just about 7am, so there were very few people out. She put her suitcases under a nearby tree, and sat down on them. She sighed. "What to do now?"


(Feel free to approach her, I just couldn't write more because GODAMNIT RAI! GIMME A DORM!)

"To be honest, I don't really have an opinion on the look of them. I've never really cared how something appears, as long as it is functional I'm fine with it. Also, why would you get earrings in the first place? What's the point of having a piece of metal hanging from a hole in your ear? It just seems completely ridiculous to me."


Lyra was about to answer, but stopped short when she realized that the reason she had gotten her ears pierced was kind of ridiculous. She laughed sheepishly as she pulled the two pony-tail holders out of her hair and starting to braid it instead.


". . .Johnathon thought they'd look. . ." she started quietly, quickly tying off her braid. ". . .cool."


The girl sighed and shook her head, turning back towards the bench she had spent the night on and picking up her bag. She took it pretty much everywhere she went, so that was handy for situations like this. She rustled around in it until she found her History homework and the scrap of paper that she'd written on reminding her what to do for Basic Healing and Protection.


"... Good morning guys.."


Lyra turned, her bag now draped over her arm as she held her assignments to her chest. He looked familiar. . .goodness, what was his name?


".... Hm.. You're Lyra.. Right?.."


Lyra nodded with a grin as, at that exact moment, the boy's name came to her. She said, "Yeah! You're Geno. You were in the music room when that whole. . .erm. . .scene unfolded."


Lyra couldn't help but laugh as she remembered Ami's fantastic fall onto Lyra, causing their lips to "accidentally" collide with eachother in quite the kiss.


"Hey.. You didn't have ear piercings two days ago, did you?"


Why does everyone care so much about my new earrings?


"Hey, half of the girls here have their ears pierced." she pouted. "What's the big deal?"


She looked at Mars when she said this, raising an eyebrow. She quickly shook her head, and said, "Okay, Mars, will you escort me to one of the training fields so I can quickly try to practice this. . .technique?"

 

[Holo]

Anthony sat in front of room A with a small group of what seemed like craft supplies in front of him and was shaping them as he meditated. When he was done meditating he saw that he had formed five glass objects that were very life like and colorful. He was left staring at a glass Dolphin, guitar, rose, snowflake, and a Corvette. He found these objects very strange (Except for the guitar.) since he wasn't a huge fan of the things. He however was determined to make the most of it and decided he would try and make friends by giving them out to random people he thought would enjoy them. Anthony was starting to feel very relaxed and got a sudden urge to make more with his powers and started using his powers to craft a very beautiful guitar.He figured he'd give it to somebody special and teach them to play if they didn't know how. Then it dawned on him that he could give it to his partner and they might like it and know how to play it. He then realised that the guitar was so beautiful that it might as well be a gift from god. He gave a smile when he thought about how happy his partner would be to recieve this and that it may get him in good with at least one person. He then started crafting a very strong black case with a extremely soft red velvet inside and he looked at it happily.

 

[Dead]

Poking Lyra with the stick, she noticed the sleeping girl trying to swat at the stick but failed and instead fell off the bench, Calista jumping away a few inch,"L-lyra?" Calista called out watching the girl get up and rub her hip since it must have hurt to fall off the bench onto the hard ground. Calista stared at Lyra waiting for her to gain her conscious since she had just woke up from Calista's rude way of waking her up, Calista mentally smacking herself for doing such childish things.


"G-good morning L-lyra u-umm... S-sorry." Calista apologized throwing the stick to the side and looking back at Lyra who was touching her ear, tilting her head and seeing that Lyra had pierced them as the girl winced in pain,"They must be new..." Calista thought and touched her ears seeing that they were already pierced since her mother forced her to, Calista sighing at the terrible incident that occurred with her mother and piercing her ears. Then out of the no where, Lyra suddenly started to freak out as Calista yelped in shock and backed away more out of reflexes, looking towards Lyra to see if she was okay but only to see her texting on her phone and screaming out how she didn't do her homework.


"U-uhh... L-lyra?" Calista whispered still in shock of the random shout that Lyra almost gave Calista a heartattack. After a minute of silence as Calista was trying to calm her heartbeat, a boy soon joined in, Calista remembering him as the treasurer of the Student Council and the one from yesterday's tea party. Once he arrived, they started to have a conversation leaving Calista to be the third wheel who didn't know what to do but listen to them which she didn't mind since even if she was to be pulled into this, she wouldn't be of any use since she wasn't close to the two yet though she did know Lyra, she didn't know Mars and only knew he was part of the Student Council.


Standing there awkwardly, Calista tried to think up something to do but she couldn't just leave like that since it would be rude as she ponder on what to do until Geno appeared, in the corner of her eyes seeing the boy wave at them,"It's Geno!" Calista thought happily but then blushed at how she seemed to be quite attached to him but it didn't stop her from smiling at his way. When Geno came by, he started to chat with Lyra and Mars for a bit, Calista keeping quiet not wanting to disturb as she stared at Geno bewildered when he started to speak in a different language but it was soft so she could only here gibberish words,"Huh?" Calista whispered but she soon changed her expression to a small smile when Geno greeted her, trying her best not to seem anxious around him,"G-good morning Geno. How are you?" Calista asked feeling proud of herself to have not stutter though she did on the "Good" part but at least she was able to speak to him more clearer, her smile grew as she played with a strand of her hair.

Shinji be waiting for that reply.

 

[Magikarp]

Blake wasn't sure if he was ready for another 'round.' Shinji was up for it, Blake was sort of up for it, but at the same time he wasn't sure if he would be able to walk properly, the last round left him out of breath for a solid 10 minutes. It was a school day and if they did end up…you know, than chances are they'd probably be late for classes and questions would arise, Lyra especially would be playing 20 questions...now he'd probably just not answer them as he wasn't one to make a cover story but that would also make even more questions arise and that's when the bells went off, ringing loudly and obnoxiously like usual. However this time Blake was a little grateful, as he might not have been able to avoid another go, but a tiny part of him was kind of disappointed as part of him kind of wanted to say 'screw life, let's go at.' Of course it looked like Shinji disappointed, but that didn’t stop him from asking if Blake wanted to take a bath him. A blush immediately creeped from his neck to face, I should have expected this…


“Fine…lead the way Shinji,” Blake muttered, getting up from the bed.


(I give you full control over this Deijii-chan xD also sorry for late reply, I was sort of half asleep *stayed up way longer than she should have had*)

 

[cojemo]

". . .Johnathon thought they'd look. . .cool."


Mars let out a long sigh upon the response, simply running his hand over his face. If only she didn't fold so easily under pressure from others... Still, there was nothing he could do about it now except give her a lecture on why she made a bad choice, so he just let it slide. Not like he could talk her out of it. Besides, he was usually good with letting people do what they want, and would only lecture them beforehand to try and prevent the action from taking place.


"... Good morning guys.."


Mars jolted around, giving Geno a half second wave. Was he in the room this morning? I don't remember seeing or hearing him, so maybe he had left before me. He never really paid much attention to anyone else in his room in the morning as he got ready for the day, plus the fact that the case was still on his mind left a possibility that maybe Mars had just not noticed him. Geno seemed to have said something, but he didn't quite understand exactly what he had said. Either it wasn't english or the pronunciation was messed up. Shrugging, Mars just ignored it. "Morning," Was all he said. No need to go fancy on the greetings.


"Hey, half of the girls here have their ears pierced. What's the big deal?"


Mars chuckled lightly. "Well, if they asked me my opinion I would say the exact same thing. Besides, you are also the student president, and I can't have you making poor decisions, now can I?" His tone throughout was rather playful, as he wasn't trying to sound mean about the whole ordeal. It was just earrings, anyways. Better to leave a past poor decision alone.


"Okay, Mars, will you escort me to one of the training fields so I can quickly try to practice this. . .technique?"


Mars nodded at this idea as he raised his bag higher up on his shoulder. "No problem. it shouldn't take too long, anyways." He turned towards Geno and Calista, who seemed to be starting a conversation with each other. "Well, we'll see you two later." With that, he started walking towards the closest training field, making sure that Lyra was following. There weren't very many people on the way there, as Mars assumed everyone was either still sleeping or catching up on some last minute homework. We aren't much different, now are we? Upon arrival, the training field seemed to be empty, minus one or two others. Placing his bag on the ground nearby, he spun around to face Lyra. "Well, what is it you need to practice? "

 

[AshenLily]

(Was trying to wait on a reply from my roommate, then realized it can just be done after the fact. Also, getting impatient, and want to mingle a bit. Kinda. Cylva wants to be mingled with, would be more accurate. Yay for being shy? )


From her wide variety of Turtle Necks, and jeans, Cylva had picked out a Lavender top, and, of course, jeans. This'll have to do, until I get into town later. After reviewing her dress for the day, she decided that since she didn't have a choice as far as the clothing went, she may as well slip on her usual gloves. The gloves were a thick, black leather, designed to hide the crystal that flecked her hands. After the jeans were on, she slipped on her black boots, and inspected herself in the mirror. Well, not terribly comfortable, but it'll do the job.





Sylva was always early. For everything. Except, ironically, for the start of school, which she'd been a day late for. She hurried to class, arriving just as the clock reached 8. Perfect. An hour early. She leaned up against the wall, outside of her classroom, and pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. Thirteen missed calls. Opening her call log, she quickly skimmed over the list. Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Unknown Number, Mom, Mom, Mom. Of course. I'll have to give her a call after class ends. I wonder what could be so urgent... Sliding her phone back into her pocket, she leaned back against the wall once more, suddenly realizing that there may have been an assignment given Friday. "Oh, gods," she groaned. What a perfect way to start the year... Maybe I got lucky, and there wasn't one? Thought the thought was filled with hope, she was quite skeptic. Grabbing a strand of her hair, she began to twirl it between her fingers, impatiently awaiting 9 o'clock, when class would begin.

~Lyra~

​

Lyra pouted as she trailed after Mars, bidding a short farewell to Geno and Calista as she did. Once again, her hand went up to her earlobe and she started messing with the new piece of metal that was gauged through it. Her ears were still a little sore, yes, but that didn't stop her from screwing around with them even though she had been told not to. As she walked, with her free hand, Lyra brought up and pushed down very small chunks of the ground, almost as if she were practicing what she was going to do.


As the two approached the training grounds, Lyra quickly stopped by the staff member on duty and quickly asked for authorization to "spar" while Mars had gone ahead. It was granted without any problems, as Lyra and Mars were both on the Student Council and deemed trustworthy enough to go on ahead without much hassle.


"Well, what is it you need to practice? "


Lyra stopped walking and let her bag slip off of her arm and next to her friend's bag. She dropped her hand from her ear, and said, "The protection technique Giovia gave me. It was like. . .Wall Of Earth or something along those lines. It shouldn't be too hard. . .I hope. I just want to make sure that I can actually protect someone with it."


Lyra cracked her knuckles and thought for a moment. . .


"Alright, Mars. Attack me." she smiled. "Please, don't hold back. I need to make sure I can create a wall that will actually do a good job protecting me."

​

"Yeah! You're Geno. You were in the music room when that whole. . .erm. . .scene unfolded." Geno simply nodded in response. "Hey, half of the girls here have their ears pierced. What's the big deal?" Geno flinched a little at her aggressive, or maybe defensive, answer. "No, no! I didn't mean anything by it... It was just a question.." He scratched his neck. "I don't have anything against you having ear piercings.. I had one myself, once." He showed her his ear, which had an old small scar on it, and looked slightly split. He was a bit rebellious during his earlier teenage years, and gave himself a piercing. He also feel with it, and ripped the bottom part of his ear in half, of course, it's a bit of an awkward story, so he didn't want to share it..


Mars and her started conversing. Something about training. That's when it hit him. He had homework in coming up with a technique for his ability. Wait.. Did it say "Come up with a technique" or "Come up with a new technique"? Because he already had a whole bunch of techniques up his sleeves. Well, actually, he did have that temperature and weight thing.. But ehh, he wasn't really ready for that again.


Lost in thought, he barely reacted when the other two seemed to be getting ready to leave the area. "Well, we'll see you two later." Geno turned pale. Hearing that he was being left alone with Calista made him happy, yeah, but it was totally scary. He almost opened his mouth and said "Wha.. Gah? Eh?" But managed to keep himself from doing so. "G-good morning Geno. How are you?"... Did she just say that? Ehrm.. He put on a somewhat panicky smile, and said "Eh, I'm great!" while scratching his neck. His smile slowly faded though, and he realized that he had been putting on something of a facade. Being all happy and peppy wasn't really his thing, and now Calista might think it might be. He contemplated it for a moment, and then realized that he couldn't just base their relationship- If it was a relationship... He didn't know.. On a fake personality. He just hoped she'd accept him for who he was.


He sat down on the bench with a sigh, a leaned back, looking straight up. He started talking "You know.. I don't know who you think I am.. But I really ain't as happy and enthusiastic as I showed yesterday. Well, at least not very often. I hope you're okay with that..?" Despite his calm tone, he was scared to death. He'd been rejected before, after showing how boring he usually was, and he didn't want it to happen again.
