Human, not human (actual rp)

[Twizinator]

Samuel had been attempting to eat his modest meal of fish and chips, but he was rather distracted by his companions' comparatively massive appetites. In particular he could hardly believe how much he'd just witnessed Renault consuming.


Ryrax, meanwhile, was internally regretting the fact that he was incapable of eating, and that the sense of taste didn't reach him.


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


"I'm frankly surprised you've let me get away with all this," Alex admitted. "Besides, if you don't want me...indulging...why are you still on top of me?"

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz looked up from the whole roasted chicken that had been picked down to its bones as Isolde came back


"You sure you didn't mix up the different platters by accident?"


He dropped the clean bones and immediately picked up a rib stack of his own


"Meat is sustenance. Not chocolate."


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


Raziel clambered his way up the ladder, pushing the trapdoor up as he entered the "common room" of her house. It was a small room, enough to contain roughly two or three people comfortably, complete with a rug and beanbag chairs. Once he had entered, he sat down cross-legged on the rug, waiting for Aamor to enter. He didn't want a repeat of . . . the last time he had barged in

 

[Cyrionessa]

"...." Habibah sighed. "You think that I mind...showing off....a bit?" She relaxed her claws and stretched her arms backwards, allowing rays of sunshine to accent her curves much more prominently. "I don't show off often because I rarely find someone who attracts me. Someone whose power I can..." She paused, mulling over the next words. "...respect..."


----


"R-Renault." Isolde's eyes widened at the manner in which he consumed his food. "How nice of you to join us." She turned to Sanz. "I-I had never eaten chocolate before I came here. Or ice cream. I-it's so amazing."


----


Aamor entered slowly, a bit shyer than usual. Raziel had become quite a close friend as of late and she quite enjoyed his company. Yet unconsciously she always seemed to try to look her best in his presence.


"Hello, Raziel."

 

[Ixidor92]

"It's also just empty sugar, you're body doesn't get anything from it."


The clean ribs were thrown into the rapidly growing bone plate as he picked another leg of lamb


"Meat gives you protein. Protein gives your muscles what they need to grow."


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


Raziel stood up with a smile as Aamor entered


"Good afternoon Aamor, a little fish told me you wished to walk through the woods."

 

[Twizinator]

Alex stretched his arms out with open palms, a gesture that seemed to say 'well, here I am, behold'. He chuckled. "Found one, didn't you?"


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


Samuel was still awestruck by the massive platefuls he had seen, and was still observing. "Is it just because I'm all human, or do I just barely eat anything?" he wondered aloud with a small, restrained laugh.


"Actually I think it's both," Ryrax answered him. "I don't suppose I can convince you to switch places with me? That fish looks heavenly..." he would have drooled if he had control of the mouth. "I'd like a bite or three of those steaks, too."

 

[Cyrionessa]

Habibah smirked as she stood up and off of him. "Don't enjoy too much, now. And don't get used to it either. I won't allow too many views of such things." She remained standing above him, looking down on him. The look on her eyes was not condescending but a mix of amusement with a hint of something else. Satisfaction perhaps?


----


Isolde laughed. "Oh, I'm f-fine. I've h-had plenty of meat already. I don't eat as m-much as you, Mr. Demi-God."


----


"Why, yes." Mock surprise covered her face. "I have no idea how you could have known such things." A teasing smile covered her face. "Oh, there's something I wanted to show you, to see if you could recognize it." She gestured towards a painting on the wall of a beautiful waterfall surrounded by trees. There were a few downed trees as well.

 

[MControl]

"Do we live in a hand-to-mouth society?" he asks. Seeing the rather befuddled looks, he continues, "Do we live every moment just to survive to the next?" Laughing lightly, he adds, "Well, some of us have, but thats not the point. All of our cultures have progressed past the caveman's 'ughh, me hunt, ughh, me eat meat, ughh, me afraid of fire' to the point where we don't have to eat to survive." With a hastily procured spoon, Renault steals a scoop of ice cream from the gargantuan bowl, "So if Mr. caveman here wants to a eat a paleolithic diet, thats perfectly fine. Me? I rather enjoy the benefits of civilization; refrigeration, electricity, higher standards of personal hygiene..."

 

[Twizinator]

The glint of 'something else' made Alex curious but he shrugged it off. "No, neither will I," he said as he picked himself up off the ground. "Try to contain yourself from now on, I'll not be shirtless often." he shook his head as he headed up the bank, sending water flying from his hair.


Suddenly Ponno approached, Two flat and square cardboard boxed in his hands. He said nothing but Alex took the boxed and uttered a word of thanks before dismissing Ponno. "Ah...pizza time," he mused with a smile as he headed back to the dorms. The smell wafting from the boxes was delicious, to put it mildly.


-----------


Samuel almost choked on his bite of fish when he saw Renault snatch the ice cream out of the bowl. "It's all new to me, and I'm grateful for all of it thus far!" he said. "I do like my warm beds, I must say."

 

[Cyrionessa]

"...ah..." Habibah's shoulders sagged slightly. "I was going to invite you to come eat with me and the others but apparently you have different plans." She suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment at what she had just done and a slight red covered her face. She couldn't really hide herself without making it extremely obvious. Her white lace thong didn't exactly match her pink bra with white hearts, which also bugged her.


----


Isolde sat there for a moment after hearing Renault's words then began to do something she rarely did. She began to laugh very loudly and raucously out loud, holding her stomach with one hand and covering her mouth with another. "I've....n-never heard....s-someone put it that way...." She kept laughing trying in vain to cause her chuckles to subside.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz let out an agitated breath


"You can say what you will about the cave-men, but they were strong by necessity. Besides which I happen to like meat."


He unapologetically ripped off another chunk of the lamb leg he was eating


"And I will never stop."


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


Raziel narrowed his eyes at the painting, as if trying to make something out


"Is . . . is that the pool from the island?"

 

[MControl]

Shrugging, Renault replies, "That's fine, meat tastes great. Just as long as you don't deride other people's choice of nourishment." Taking advantage of Isolde's laughter, he stole another scoop of the frozen treat. "I will admit, though, that this is fantastic ice cream." Spoon in mouth, a thought struck him, "And honestly, rather than questioning irrelevant dietary concerns, I would've asked where she got such a large bowl. Its bigger than some of the pots used for cooking soup in the kitchen."

 

[Twizinator]

Alex stopped in his tracks. "...Really?" he asked, genuinely surprised and caught off-guard. He was twisted at the waist to look over at Habibah. "Because...well, let's just say that I have two pizzas for a reason, and I can only eat one," he said with a uncharacteristically kinder smirk than usual. When he'd jumped out the window earlier, he had seen Ponno on the path below, so took a very short detour to issue an order for a pair of pizza pies before diving into the pond's cool waters. "Though Izzy's probably lookin' for ya, I gather some gals would be...hesitant...to go out in public lookin' like that, which is a cryin' shame in my opinion. If you've got it, for f***'s sake flaunt it. It can get ya places with the right people." He paused. "If ya wanna come up and dry off, I've got towels 'n shit in my closet...and if you happen to sneak a slice, I won't be TOO pissed." He turned forward and took a couple steps before hastily adding over his shoulder, "Don't think this is me apologizing, by the way, I'm just willing to lend a hand sometimes, you know..."


------


Samuel didn't join Isolde in laughter but he couldn't resist grinning. "Honestly, Sanz, at this point I'll be SURPRISED to see you pause for breath. But when you all...eventually finish, should we head to m-my dorm?" he suggested. The very fact that he was speaking up and making a suggestion like this was a big deal for him, which wasn't lost on Ryrax.

 

[Cyrionessa]

Habibah raised an eyebrow at him. "...that...sounds...like a good idea..." She paused for a second. "....I've actually never eaten pizza...." Honestly, she didn't understand why she just admitted that. Admitting inexperience was a bit weak on her part. Mentally, she noted that she really shouldn't do that.


----


"Of c-course." Isolde smiled obliviously. "Th-this shouldn't be too difficult. The M-Math here is elementary."


----


"Yes, actually." Aamor grinned. "I tried to describe it to an artist friend of mine. Does it look decently close?"

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz wiped his mouth with a napkin, a massive pile of bones beside him


"Sure . . . I know I could use the help . . ."


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


Raziel gave a smile


"Fairly close. Though I find it odd that you described the scene after . . . after what happened."


To this day, Ray had yet to say out loud what had happened that day

 

[MControl]

"Sure," Renault says, "Since my obelisk experiment fell through, I haven't really had much to do."


----


-<Where does math come into play? I havent seen anything mentioned about it?>-

I understand that, but just after the post where samuel invites everyone to his dorm, people start chiming in about math. did i just miss a post about studying or something?

 

[Ixidor92]

I understand that, but just after the post where samuel invites everyone to his dorm, people start chiming in about math. did i just miss a post about studying or something?

(Both Samuel and Sanz mentioned how they were having trouble with math)

 

[MControl]

Okay... did they mention/plan on studying before the lunch craze? because it seemed like it went 'lets go back to my room' to 'This math is easy'. thats the transition im questioning. Also, I don't mind massive posting sprees, especially since the majority of this RP is in one spot. Just, if it looks like its gonna happen again, shoot me a text so I can at least keep up with whats happening.

 

[Twizinator]

(Check the big italicized post on page 80 about exams. Math just happens to be a class quite a few chars have together. Also sorry about the sudden explosion of posts lol, I'll text ya next time I notice a spree occurring

"Same," Alex said frankly. "I usually had my underlings get me food from the cafeteria and they always grabbed me steaks and ribs and every protein under the sun. That, and they just started letting you take whole pizzas to your dorm this semester. Hadn't gotten around to it yet. Aren't you a lucky kitten?" he led her into the dorm, up the stairs, and back into his room. After shutting the door behind him he cleaned off his desk and placed the boxes side by side. "One of these has pepperoni and the other's just cheese," he said, opening one of them. "Found the sausage!" he exclaimed triumphantly and smelling the delicious and hot pie. "Oh, right," he remembered that she was still soaked through - or rather, that both of them were. The dorms were a little chilly today and he could see her shivering just a little. Was he going soft all of the sudden, or was he just becoming what they would consider 'normal'? He didn't bother deciding which it was as he opened his closet and pulled out a pair of warm, fluffy towels. "Here," he tossed the towel her way as he turned on his heat aura, just enough to start warming the room. He began drying his hair immediately.

 

[Cyrionessa]

Habibah took the towel and started drying off. Her clothes were damp still and her hair was a mess. She slipped off her jacket and tossed it over the chair at his desk in hopes of it drying faster. Her make-up was destroyed so she carefully wiped away the normally thick black eyeliner that surrounded her eyes until there wasn't a speck of make-up on her face. Honestly, to others' eyes, Habibah didn't need make-up at all. She already had perfect skin and beautiful, piercing green eyes that contrasted against her tanned skin. Yet, she still wore it self-consciously. Her worry about her appearance was truly her biggest weakness and she wasn't even aware of it.


"...thank you."


----


Isolde rose, taking away the now empty dishes before returning to them. "Then f-finish up, boys. We have st-studying to do."


----


"....you mean after I knocked you unconscious?" Aamor's face fell visibly. "I just remember it that way because that's the way we left it."

 

[Twizinator]

Alex shrugged, chill as ever. "Don't mention it. No, I'm serious, we were never in here together, capisce? I may or may not be forbidden from having chicks in my room. A little while ago I wouldn't have cared but if I'm supposed to be 'accepted' I should probably try following rules. Boring, but necessary." He was faced away from her the whole time, casually drying his head and upper body. Finally he turned around. "So yeah, not a wor- DAMMIT!" he exclaimed, looking at the makeup-stained towel. "Sonuva...forgot about that. Why DO you wear all that makeup anyway?" He asked, sitting on the bed after grabbing a slice of pepperoni.


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


Samuel had finished long before the others, but was initially hesitant to take the lead. He only did so once he'd realized he had to bring them all to his dorm, so he led them through the male dorm and into the room typically occupied by himself and Raziel. "Here we are," he said a bit awkwardly, welcoming them all in as he fidgeted in his position between the bed and the desk. "So...um...h-how do we want to start?"

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz scratched the back of his head as he sat down. The room had a very calm air about it, like there was a scent that soothed the nerves, even if he couldn't quite place it.


"Um . . . why don't you tell Isolde where you're having trouble Samuel?"


Sanz truth be told had no idea where to begin


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


Ray gave a quick frown before putting a hand on Aamor's shoulder


"It looks beautiful."


He gave a smile and tilted his head down a little


"Didn't you want to walk?"

 

[Cyrionessa]

"....beauty enhancement...." Habibah turned away, staring at the ground. It was strange for her to seem vulnerable. Her appearance meant everything to her and she knew that in the end her appearance and body were the currency for becoming high in prominence in the Field of Reeds. She only hoped that she could get out of her marriage to Sobek's son. The thought of that made her shudder.


----


"Y-yes, Samuel." Isolde smiled encouragingly. "Just tell me what you're having problems with."


----


"Yes I did." Aamor brightened at that prospect. "It's just too beautiful to pass up. The falls should be especially beautiful right now." The last time she had been there, she had managed to fall and knock herself unconscious. Hopefully, that wouldn't happen this time.

 

[Twizinator]

Alex raised an eyebrow and took a big bite out of the pizza slice. "Ya don't need it," he said with his mouth still full of cheesy goodness. "And this 'pizza' thing is damn tasty, grab a slice."


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


Ryrax cackled. "It would be quicker to say what he ISN'T having problems with," he said.


Samuel didn't deny that accusation, but hesitantly opened up the textbook and turned to a chapter covered a few week's ago.


It was less than five minutes time that saw the group seated in a circle on the floor, Samuel managing to place Sanz in between himself and Isolde. The young succubus was explaining their coursework as best her timid stuttering would allow, which was still quite good.
