Human, not human (actual rp)

[Ixidor92]

Raziel slowly shook his head


"No, it's not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination. It just wasn't something I expected when I first came to the academy."


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


Sanz stretched his arms and torso upward before cracking his neck


"Why not? I could use a break from books anyway."

 

[Twizinator]

"I'm not sure how to explain it," Alex shrugged. "It's maybe a little endearing, I guess, and getting nicknames for people is just something I do sometimes. I guess I chose 'kitten' just because I find your efforts and actions amusing. Cute, even." He flopped backwards on the bed, his arms stretched out on either side.


-------


"Sounds fine," Samuel nodded. "Where should we start?"


"Maybe by asking him," Ryrax said snarkily. Immediately after he spoke there was a rapping at the window. It was Ao.

 

[Cyrionessa]

"....cute...." Habibah actually paused, thinking about that word. "....that's a word I've never heard associated with me. Beautiful, yes. Sexy, yes. Talented, yes." The cat backed away a bit and sat in the chair next to his desk. "Cute, never."


----


Isolde got up and opened the window. "...A-Ao? What are you doing here?"


----


Aamor got to the same rock that had conquered her last time. There didn't appear to be a slippery surface this time so she started climbing. "Catch me if I fall again!" She pulled herself up much more easily this time and sat on top of the rock. This large stone had given a beautiful view over the falls and forest. She could even see the school from here. "....I haven't seen this in a long time."


----


Anya halted for a moment inside the woods. What was this...feeling? Like something dark had entered her forest. She was actually near the town at the base of the waterfall at this moment and she found it exceedingly odd that she felt something like this. Just as quickly as she felt it, it disappeared.


"....so odd...."

 

[Twizinator]

There was a rustling high in the trees, a fair distance from Anya. It got closer and closer, like a large ape swinging through the trees. It was lowering with each passing tree, descending to the ground. Suddenly there was a loud crack, followed by several more cracks as whatever was in the canopy fell through many limbs. Finally, it stopped at the last limb of a tree that stood only a few feet from Anya. Adrian now hung from a tree limb, having grasped it as he fell. "Whew, close one. That would've hurt," he chuckled. "Oh, hello Anya. Everything the okay? You seem distracted." he said as he dangled with his one arm.


----------


"Good question," Ryrax growled. "Why ARE you here?"


"Peace, peace!" Ao waved his hands in front of him defensively. "I just wanted to see Samuel."


"M-me?" Samuel cocked his head, puzzled. "Why?"


"Well there's been some awful rumors going around about you," Ao said. "Ones that all of us here know are false, of course. I just wanted to see if you were alright. I wondered how they were affecting you. You feelin' alright?"


Samuel blinked. Last time he'd really dealt with Ao was when they had fought, so the man's concern was a touch surprising. "I'm...I'm okay," he shrugged. "Just...wish he'd stop spreading them..."


Ao actually laughed. "You all think Alex is spreading them, don't you? Heh, I thought so too, but it isn't him. It's that Susan chick, apparently."


"You seen the cat?" Ryrax suddenly spoke up.


"Huh? Well, now that you mention it, yeah. I saw her heading to this dorm not too long ago."


"........Here? Why?" Samuel and Ryrax asked in unison.


"Dunno. Find her and ask her yourself!" Ao laughed. With a wave goodbye he flew upwards, leaving the group to themselves to wonder why Habibah would be in the male dorms.


-------


Alex rose off the bed, strolling over to the desk. "Really? Guess I'm the first to pay you THAT particular compliment," he chuckled. He leaned on the tabletop with one hand while the other went into his pocket. "You can thank me later...however you want," he teased. "Don't think I haven't seen you staring at my abs. It's good to know my effort's being appreciated, so thanks, I gue- JESUS!" he shouted, surprised at the sudden appeareance of Ao at his window, who was staring at the pair inside with a sly grin. Alex opened the window. "What now?!" he exclaimed. "You nearly gave me a heart attack, what do you want?!"


"Well, I WAS going to talk a little about Samuel but you two seem awfully busy~" he teased in a sing-song voice. "If you're gonna make moves on a chick you should lower the blinds!" As soon as he'd finished speaking he darted off into the sky, which was wise, as Alex immediately lunged a hand out the window trying to catch the guy.


"You little shit!" Alex roared, leaning his taut torso over the desk in front of Habibah and halfway out the window. "You BETTER run!" he shook his fist.

 

[Ixidor92]

Sanz scratched his head as the genie left


"Well . . . if Habibah walked here of her own accord, she probably had someone she wanted to speak with. Any idea who that would be?"


Sanz directed the question in Isolde's direction


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


Ray watched Aamor as she clambered up the rock face. After waiting for a few minutes, he followed in her footsteps, though less gracefully.


"Oof. Not used to rock-climbing in this form . . ."

 

[Cyrionessa]

Anya jumped out of her skin nearly at the sudden noise known as Adrian. "....don't scare me like that!" She was obviously still worried. Her fingers twisted a few spirit leaves appeared in her hands. "....find out what that was." Quickly turning back to him, she tried to dispel her worry. "You took forever."


----


"...bwahahahahahaha!" Habibah leaned backwards with laughter. "Someone's embarrassed!" She wasn't even trying to hide her amusement at all at this point. "The great half-dragon is embarrassed about being caught with a woman!"


----


Aamor giggled slightly. "Don't fall. I can't exactly catch you."


----


Isolde thought for a moment then her eyes widened. "....oh dear....she wouldn't of....I mean, it's highly unlikely that she would...but she is always looking for ways to secure allies...but still....it's him...." She didn't really realize that she was talking out loud; she was more just musing her thoughts aloud.

 

[Twizinator]

"I am NOT!" Alex exclaimed, standing over Habibah while he leaned against the desk. "I was just surprised by that little weasel! Besides," he smirked, "I wasn't caught with a woman, I was caught with Y-"


He stopped himself just in time; he'd almost forgotten his 'no insults' clause of their agreement. Why had he gotten so riled up just then?


Alex cleared his throat. "That is, ah, I wasn't caught in, say, some kind of...'compromising' situation or act, if you catch my drift," he hastily finished. It didn't even occur to him to shut his window...


-----------


"Apologies, I did not intend to startle," Adrian said, his tone as cheery as ever, "and I really did come as fast as I can. Well, as quickly as I could through the treetops. A monkey I am not." He paused, leaning in towards Anya, lowering his voice a little as a note of concern entered his voice. "Seriously, though, is something bothering you? I'm not exactly subtle; you usually sense me easily, either through your forest or just hearing me crashing about with the grace of a drunken elephant."


--------


"Er...Isolde, what are you t-talking abou.....hmm?" Samuel was interrupted mid-speech by loud noises coming from above. "Do you guys hear something?" He had heard the shouting of Alex when Ao interrupted his talk with Habibah.


Speaking of Ao, the man appeared again at the window. "Oi, Samuel!" he called with a massive smile. "Heheh, I found her, the kitty cat I mean."


"Don't tell me," Ryrax groaned. He had to be an idiot not to follow the signs at this point, but he really wished this wasn't the case. "She's with THAT scaly bastard, isn't she?"


Ao's smile somehow got wider, which was all the answer he needed to give before he flew off again.


"Samuel, swap with me." Ryrax immediately ordered.


"Ehhh?! Why?" Samuel was surprised.


"I have unfinished business with Alex," Ryrax responded. Samuel sighed; in truth, he would rather not deal with Alex right now so letting Ryrax deal with him would work out nicely. He stood and strode to the window as he swiped his hand over his eye, dispelling the sealing eyepatch. Immediately his hair went from white to black, his nails became claws, and black sparks crackled around his torso. Ryrax turned around to the group, his mismatched eyes wide with anticipation. "Meet ya guys upstairs," he said with a fanged smile, and with a wink at Isolde he flew backwards out the window, ascending as he homed in on the open window of Alex's dorm room.

 

[Ixidor92]

"Don't worry, I won't fall."


Raziel pulled himself up next to Aamor, and turned his gaze to the view that lay before them.


"It really is quite beautiful up here."


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


Sanz turned his head to follow Ryrax as much as he could before turning to face Isolde


"Um . . . do you want to follow him?"

 

[Cyrionessa]

"Just...." Anya glanced around. "....it was probably nothing. Don't worry about it." She plastered a smile onto her face that was completely fake but was trying to hide her worry.


----


"You weren't caught with a woman..." Habibah's golden eyes were now sizzling like the sun. "You were caught with me?" Her ears were back; all of the insults in this world, she had never heard that one. "....and how do you figure that I am not woman, Sparky?"


----


Isolde was out the door and rushing up the stairs as Sanz turned his head. "If you value the structural safety of this dorm, you might want to stop Samuel, more like Ryrax, from getting up to the room that I do believe he's heading towards. That room would be Alex's. And that's where Habibah is, trying to turn an enemy into an ally." Her stutter was gone; she was completely focused.


----


"Raziel?" Aamor turned curious eyes on the leviathan. "....why did you take me out to that island? Isn't it kinda like your own secret place that no one knows about that you can go to whenever you want?'

 

[Twizinator]

"I didn't mean that," Alex shook his head. "Our little contract prohibits me from insults like that, so just pretend I never said it." He paused. "You ARE a woman, Habibah. More woman than most of the chicks on this campus."


"Really?" Ryrax suddenly chimed in, floating outside the window cross-legged. "Because Neko-san doesn't look like a woman to me. Nope, that's a cat you're talking to." He smiled widely. "Didn't think you were into that kinda thing, ryu-chan."


Alex's attention immediately turned to the raiju. "Ryrax. What do you want?" he glared.


"I want to settle unfinished business," Ryrax replied, licking his lips. "As you can see, this body is back to 100%, and we have a score to settle."


Alex scoffed. "I don't have time to spare for you at the moment. Though I wouldn't mind having a word with your host, Samuel. Won't he come out and chat, or is he too scared?" Alex chuckled. "Is that why you're allowed out? You protecting him from me?"


Ryrax also chuckled, a dark and ominous sound. "Actually, its the opposite."


----------


Adrian cocked his head and raised an eyebrow, an expression showing he clearly didn't believe her. However, he opted not to press the issue; if she wanted to discuss the problem with him, she would in time. He sighed. "Very well. In truth I have been fretting as of late myself. That boy - Samuel - he keeps sneaking out at night into the woods. Every night he goes out and practices the moves I teach in Human Defense. He's a fast learner, that one. More interesting is that he meditates after his more physical exertions. While he sits and focuses his mind, the sticks, rocks, and other debris around him begins to float. According to his file, that demon in his eye unlocked some kind of telekinetic power in him, though he can't control it. At least, not yet. I think that's why he meditates, so he can try to actually use it. But for what? Combat? Who the hell could such a kind-hearted young man want or need to fight?"


Adrian blinked, realizing he was rambling. "Hahahahaha! Sorry! Didn't mean to rant." he tried to laugh off the matter. "I think I'm assuming too much. Call it the paranoia of an old soldier."

(Try to close out whatever interactions are going on, a timeskip is in order. Also, I apologize for the complete lateness of this post, my free time has been extremely limited as of late)


Sanz let out a sigh and walked out the door, looking over the the stairwell. For several seconds, it sounded like a heard of elephants were going through the building as he trudged up them with inhuman speed


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


Raziel raised an eyebrow at Aamor. This again? She seemed to have asked this question several times over the last month


"I told you already Aamor. You wanted someplace private, and I know of no place as far removed from the rest of the world as that island."
