Human, not human (actual rp)

[Cyrionessa]

"Do you think it was merely my attractiveness and charm that earned me my group of followers?" Habibah answered. "I understand how to talk to others and learn how to view them as my equals. You must learn how to see every individual as a being that has just as many rights as you do, no matter whether they are stronger or weaker than you. It's something I had to learn when I came from the Field of Reeds, the land where I grew up, where the gods look down on all mortals. It takes some time but it is something that you will need to learn in order to reach your goal."

 

[Twizinator]

Once again, Alex was quiet for a spell as he considered her proposition. "Okay. I get what you're saying - what Pops is saying. So I'll learn from ya, I guess. He'd probably think I'm going in the right direction. But first..." he pushed off the window, walking up to Habibah. "I'm supposed to see the ants around me as equals, right? So we'll start with you. It's a two-way street, though. From here on I respect you, and you, me. No mouth-offs or insults, no condescension, none of that shit from EITHER of us." He reached out, offering to shake on it. "Deal?"

 

[Cyrionessa]

"Deal." Habibah nodded. "...you might want to either avoid Isolde or apologize to her. As is it now, she will most likely hate you for past actions. And please, partially for your own sake and partially for my sanity, don't attempt to charm or seduce her or anything like that. I'd rather not deal with an angry Sanz or Renault or anyone else." She smoothed her hair back a bit before reaching out to shake that hand. "I hope that you realize that you're not going to be staying in your room as much, right?"

 

[Twizinator]

They shook, Alex only briefly mentally noting how surprisingly soft the cat's hands were. "Yeah, yeah. I'll leave Izzy alone for the time being. Don't be so stupid to expect ME to apologize for anything, though." However, immediately after saying that, he remembered the deal he's just struck: no insults. "Oops. Er...you're not...stupid," he forced himself to say, mentally smacking himself. This would be harder than he thought. "Agh...whatever, I'm just goin' for a swim," he shook his head in exasperation. Ignoring his perfectly good door, he turned and opened the window he'd just closed a minute ago. He took a moment to remove his shirt, throwing it on the bed. "Later, kitten," he said with a smirk and a wink before leaping out the window, his wings sprouting magically from his back once he was in the open air. He sailed down and around the building, diving into the pond behind the dorm he'd just left...not that Habibah would see most of that.

 

[Cyrionessa]

Habibah shrugged. If he landed in water or on the ground and destroyed himself then what did it matter to her? "....the name...." She started cursing in ancient Egyptian. "That...." She paused; to be able to stop insulting him, she'd have to not do it in secret as well. This was going to be harder than expect. "...that guy didn't give me the name...." She stopped to sniff the room, memorizing the scents within. Perhaps it would come in handy some day. She exited the ruin via the door this time and walked downstairs to the door. A quick scan of the area revealed that he had landed in the pond. Walking to stand next to the pond, she spoke. "One last question: who is creating the rumors about Samuel?"

 

[Ixidor92]

"Samuel. There's nothing to work out. What could have happened and what might have been are unimportant once the event has passed. By the all-father, it's been a whole MONTH since that happened. Isolde doesn't blame you, and anyone who actually knows your personality wouldn't blame you for one second."


The half-god was crouching down with his elbows on his knees, his eyes looking directly into Samuel's own.


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


"Sind . . . die ein fad?"


"Nein. Sind Sie ein fae."


Raziel was sitting in front of a group of freshman in the school. In front of him was an elf trying to speak german. She was natively from japan, so it was difficult.


"Die is a term used as a pronoun. Sie is a term used respectfully, much like -san or -sama."


"But I though Sie was a term used to refer to girls?"


"It is in certain contexts. But this is Sie with a capital regardless of position in the sentence, much like a name."

 

[Twizinator]

Alex cursed under his breath; he'd hoped she would have forgotten for the moment. He was floating on his back, slowly drifting head-first towards Habibah's side of the pond. "Susan. I'm sure you remember her."


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


Samuel shook his head. "This isn't really about what others think, entirely. I have to make peace with myself. But I do agree that unnecessarily worrying about this right now is wrong. We have exams soon; I have plenty of studying ahead of me." He sighed. "Especially mathematics..."

 

[Cyrionessa]

Habibah hissed. "That creature..." Her eyes narrowed massively and her ears flattened. "Where might I find that piece of work? I'd like to have a few words with her."


----


Aamor finished working her students and sent them on their way. A slight chuckle escaped her lips when she heard the Japanese elf trying to speak German. A smile lighted her face when she saw who was trying to teach her how to speak German. She thought perhaps to speak to him but figured that the interruption would be unwanted. Unconsciously, she smoothed back her hair and adjusted her rumpled clothing before walking past. She glanced at him for just a moment before continuing to walk towards the door.

 

[Ixidor92]

For a second, one could have sworn Sanz had gazed into the eyes of the medusa, as he seemed to freeze into stone for only a split second.


"Right--math . . ."


Sanz hadn't been studying nearly as much as he should have over the last week. Whenever he got sick of it he would go to the track and run. Several track members had been in awe of his progress . . . although his teachers had been less so.


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


Raziel's eyes met with Aamor's as she passed, and he subconsciously smiled with the continuation of the lecture. She would probably be heading to her new housing in the schwarzwald. He had visited once over the previous month, just to check and see how she was doing.

 

[Twizinator]

"Why do you automatically assume I know everything?" Alex teased with a smirk. He was almost at the bank Habibah was standing at now. "I honestly have no idea what that chick's up to or where she is. Can't keep tabs on her so easily now that she ain't under my thumb, now can I? Even less so that she's apparently replaced you as my biggest opposition."


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


Samuel was a little reassured to see that he wasn't the only one having issues. "Hehehe, that's right, you've been at the track a lot, from what I hear. Don't tell me you're just avoiding studying?" He laughed again. "Maybe we could study together?.......even....ask Isolde if she wants to join us, I don't know..." he suggested meekly.

 

[Cyrionessa]

"Oh really?" Habibah raised an eyebrow. "I don't like the idea that I have been so easily replaced." In truth, Habibah had always not enjoyed the fact that Alex had always seemed to not view her as others did. There seemed to be others that he considered superior in traits that she felt she excelled in. It was a bit of jealousy, yes, but it did irk her.


----


A little nudge, like a tickle inside of his brain, was followed by Aamor's soft voice speaking inside of Raziel's head. If you're not busy later, perhaps you could go for a walk with me? Anya will probably be laying the forest's last dying leaves to rest tonight and I'd like to see the fforest in all of its colors before winter comes. Aamor kept walking and was soon out the door in the hallway.


----


"J-join you in what?" The young succubus's voice came from right behind them as she approached them. Isolde's eyes peered out from under the interesting orange Charmander hat on her head. A plain black hoodie and jeans were all that she chosen to wear during her studying time. All in all, she looked cute instead of pretty today.

 

[Ixidor92]

Raziel gave a small smile.


"Raziel-senpai?"


The leviathan blinked a few times before he realized he had stopped speaking in front of the students he was tutoring


"Ah, sorry about that. A momentary distraction."


He made a mental note to take Aamor up on her offer once he was finished


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


Sanz was quiet for a few minutes at Isolde's sudden appearance


"Isolde . . . how are you doing in math?"

 

[Twizinator]

Samuel nearly jumped out of his skin, a good sign that he was returning to normal. "I-I-I-I-Isolde!" he blurted. "Startled the heck out of m-me..." All the same, he had a half-grin on his face. "I...er, I mean we, I think, w-we were wondering, um, if y-you want...that is, if you w-were willing, w-we could r-really use the help...if y-you-"


"They want you to form a study group with 'em to help them not suck at math," Ryrax interrupted, to which Samuel squeaked in surprise.


"R-Ryrax?!" he exclaimed. "You've been silent since last month, I-I'd honestly forgotten you were there," he admitted.


"Yeah I kinda figured," he growled. "So Izzy-chan, what do ya say? I dunno about Sanzy-boy but this kid REALLY needs academic help," Ryrax proposed.


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


Alex finally rose out of the pond, now standing in knee-deep water not far from Habibah. "What's the problem?" he raised an eyebrow, "I'd say you've been promoted." He paused. "I don't suppose you swim? The water's great," he said, once again suppressing a smirk.

 

[Cyrionessa]

"...s-sure." Isolde smiled happily. "...wh-when and where?" She had been staying in a lot but perhaps a diversion from the normal would be nice. "Oh! Have you seen Habibah? She was supposed to come back after researching in the library and she never did."


----


"I can swim." Habibah's ears flattened at the thought of going into water. "I just simply choose not to."


----


Aamor quickly made her way back to her forest home. The little cottage was quite charming indeed and she had been decorating it a lot lately. In fact, she had commissioned one of her friends in the art department to paint something for her. A giggle erupted from her. She wondered if Raziel would recognize where the painting was set? She had attempted to describe it in great detail to her friend and it seemed to be a very close representation of what she had seen there.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz slowly shook his head


"No I have not seen her."


Sanz laid back against the grass with a sigh of relief


"And the sooner the better . . . I've been spending a lot of time on the track."

 

[Twizinator]

Alex took a couple steps out of the water, a rather naughty plot forming rapidly in his head. "Well why not? Is it because you're a cat? I imagine you'd be pretty sweet to the eyes in a bikini," he said as water slid down his chest and through all the ridges of his abs.


-----------


"I-I'm sure we could use my dorm room if y-you'd like," Samuel suggested. "I-I know my roommate, Ray, has been rather busy with tutoring, among other things."

 

[Cyrionessa]

"Y-you mean Raziel?" Isolde raised an eyebrow. "D-didn't he and that tutor girl disappear for a day or s-something like that?" She shrugged. "N-nevermind, doesn't matter. I don't c-care where we meet. M-maybe we can meet after we eat?"


----


".....I haven't worn one ever in my life..." Habibah raised an eyebrow at him. "Never have had a reason in my life." His eyes strayed down to the abs, remained their for a few seconds as if she were systematically examining like a scientist, then returned back to look at him in the eyes. There was no blush or sign of shame for this action.

 

[Twizinator]

"Well, I wish you would." He suddenly snuck an arm around her waist. "In a moment, you will, too."


He leapt off the ground several feet over the pond, pulling Habibah with him, landing in the water with a great splash.


-----------


Samuel's stomach growled with perfect timing. "That....sounds like a great idea," he admitted and chuckled. "To the cafeteria...?"

 

[Ninja_Onions]

"Hmm. Many agreements here." Frank said, breaking the pacing of the conversation. "To foodeteria, to take cafe." He finished, turning to start heading towards the cafeteria. He stopped, turning to address Samuel as if he had forgotten something. "Moon-Moon, still do Strawberry work? Hear new words, bad things, but no believe. 'Moon-Moon too friend, not be badman.' say at people. But no hear, only question faces. Think asking, so learn from Moon-Moon." He finished pointing slightly at Samuel.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz raised an eyebrow


"Raziel? Doesn't he have blue hair? I've seen him a couple of times, but never spoken with him--"


As if on queue, his stomach let out less of a growl and more of a roar that could rival the beasts of valhalla in ferocity. It took a moment for him to recognize it had been his insides that made the noise


"I think . . . that food sounds like a good idea."


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


Raziel waved off the last couple of freshman, having given them worksheets tailored to what they were having trouble with. He slowly made his way into the forest, giving a small saying of thanks to Anya for the state of the forest before entering

 

[Cyrionessa]

Habibah immediately grabbed onto him like her life depended on it. The water soaked through the white sweat pants and jacket and the pink tank top. She was shaking furiously and yowling like a cat. "You bastard!" She turned and shoved his face downwards into the water. "You're going to pay for this!"


----


Isolde nodded. "F-food it is." And with that, she started walking to the cafeteria, assuming the others would follow her.


----


Aamor was sitting on her bed reading Dracula when she felt the presence of a different aura coming closer. It felt like the crashing waves of the oceans, yet it was gentle. There as only one person like that. She decided to wait for him to come to her this time.

 

[Twizinator]

Samuel followed, but hung back behind the rest. He looked anywhere but straight ahead, where the succubus led the crass menagerie of him, a demigod, an animated corpse, and a skinwalker.


-----------


Alex laughed even as he had his head forced underwater. "Whatever, kitte-*glubglubglub*-ill worth that reaction!" he laughed, his swimming hampered by the cat-girl clinging to his chest like a koala with vicegrips. Finally he reached the bank and dragged himself and Habibah out of the water, lying on his back with most of his legs still submerged, catching his breath, the woman still clutching him tightly. Her nails dug into his back so hard they almost broke the skin. "Hahahaaaa...you know, I take back what I said about the bikini. I think you look fine like this," he said. They were both soaked and Habibah's clothes were clinging to her, not leaving too much to the imagination.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz was now at the table, with enough food in front of him that it would likely feed three people. Most of it was meat. Lamb, beef, pork, every type of red meat under the sun, with just a little bit of chicken for good measure. He had taken a whole leg of a lamb and was promptly devouring it. The young man hadn't realized how hungry he was till there was actually food in front of him. Despite how much was there, he still had a sizable plate of bones beside him. If there was anything that betrayed Sanz's norse background, it was his love of red meat and how much he ate.


"Okay . . . I needed this."


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


Raziel finally made his way into the clearing, giving a small smile at the dwelling. It had been well-made by several student hands, as if their hard work and feelings had made an impression upon the wood. Some vines draped over the roof, but it was well-maintained, likely thanks to Anya. Raziel merely knocked twice at the ladder that led up to the treehouse, thinking in his head a line from the story of Rapunzel. It seemed oddly fitting for the current situation

 

[Cyrionessa]

"...I really should kill you for that..." Habibah glared at him. "....I wish I could be wearing a bikini so that I wouldn't be getting grass stains on white clothes that I'll never get out..." Her ears were still flattened and her grip was still like a vice. She sat up on top of him and looked down on him. "Don't enjoy this too much and don't get used to it either."


----


Isolde grabbed a rack of ribs and immediately set to work picking every single piece of meat off of them. Then, she went back and grabbed a piece of chocolate, put it in a bowl, then smothered it in ice cream with chocolate icing and sprinkles. She returned, setting down the bowl that was actually bigger than her dinner plate.


"This looks good."


----


Aamor's voice echoed down the steps. "Come on up." She dashed over to the mirror and made sure she looked okay.

 

[MControl]

I hate all of you >.<


-----


Renault walks up to the buffet style tables, holding trays upon trays of food. Having not realized how hungry he was, he decided to make use of his powers to expedite his eating. As his human form melted away, a small cloud of locusts rose up, and devoured the contents of that particular table. Reforming at the other end of the table, Renault let out a small burp as he walked back to the table his friends were occupying. 'Friends,' he thought, enjoying it immensely as he sat down.
