Fantasy The Chalice Academy

[The One Eyed Bandit]

Surprised as the girl pulled her along, considering resisting but her curiosity as to what this secret was winning over she allowed to to pull her to a quiet spot in the lobby. I am Octavius these words seemingly shattering her nervousness, quickly replacing it with overwhelming curiosity. "What!" Reeling slightly when she'd realized she'd yelled "Sorry, What? Is that your power? How does it work? How long does it last for" Whispering a rapid fire barrage of questions, though making sure no one else could hear.

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

After being hit by the barrage of questions, Octavius whispers back, "It's not my power, it's a curse. Whenever I touch water or a liquid containing water I 'transform' into a girl. It lasts for about an hour or so." Octavius finishes his long whisper sentence hoping that he answered most of er questions, "My 'real' power is I'm able to 'sense' beings without seeing them. If you were wondering."

 

[The One Eyed Bandit]

"Mmmmmm.. Ok" Looking slightly disappointed as she spoke, she'd been hoping for something a bit more exciting, like two people sharing a body, competing for dominance, like in one of the manga she'd read. "Whats it like? Being both genders I mean, have you ever left the toilet seat up as a boy and fallen in as a girl?" Trivial questions now filling her head, tilting her head as she spoke, thinking about his other ability "What do you mean sense? Do you just know when someones nearby? Sounds useful for hide and seek"

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

With all of the questions Karina was barging at him, he had to answer them all one at a time, "I've actually never needed to go to the restroom when I was this." he points to himself, "By sense, Yeah I'd know if somebody's nearby or if somebody was in a certain nearby room. Yes it was really useful when I was younger." Octavius saw that her curiosity was getting a bit out of hand, "Now you promise not to tell anyone, right?" He asks looking her right in her eyes.

 

[The One Eyed Bandit]

Slightly surprised by her sudden firmness as she looked into her eyes Kanari blinked a few times before answering "Sure Octavius, your secrets safe with me, just makes it more interesting doesn't it?" A wide smile spreading across her mouth, her nerves from before completely vanished, perhaps because Octavius had trusted her enough to tell her, thinking for a moment a actually relevant question popped into her head "Should I call you something else when you're like this? I don't think using the same name wouldn't be the best way to keep your secret." Asking as she'd calmed down, her manner of speaking being less rapid fire at this point.

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

"I've never had to worry about names until you brought that up." He thinks for a little bit, "I can't think of a name that would suit me. Do you think you have a decent name for me?" He asked not knowing what the response would be from Karina's mouth. What a weird way to start off the first day of school. He thought to himself while he waited to hear a name.

 

[The One Eyed Bandit]

"Me?" Her eyebrows raising in surprise at her question, "That's a lot of responsibility but.." Dropping to the floor, sitting cross legged and laying down her writing pad in front of her, starting a list of names as she thought, she didn't know a huge amount of names and the ones she did know came mostly from TV and manga, quickly writing down a few of her favorites in small, loopy handwriting and handing it to Octavius.


Harley


Yozora


Ophelia


Emily


Mine


((Going to bed soon, will reply in the morning before I head to school))

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

He takes the list and reads it, "I think I like Emily the best. Thank you by the way." He feels his tummy rumble, "Well if you'd excuse me I'm going to go get some grub." He starts walking off towards the vending machine. once he gets there he takes out his wallet and buys the skittles. He was getting stares from a lot of other students. Probably the way I'm dressed. He heads over to a bench, sits down, and starts snacking on his skittles.


((See ya))

 

[neverin]

((were should i jump in?))

 

[BladeZ]

((were should i jump in?))

((Just from this post below. All students are either gathering at the lobby or at the restroom. No one's really going to the classroom just yet))

Mr. Michealis took note of the early arrivals. At least this time there didn't seem to be any troublemakers or dumb showoffs (they were always a problem). Opening the demonic book in his hand, he wrote a few lines.
With lessons time comes,


With time things have begun


Let all flow into this room


Before fate decides to loom


And with that the hallway to the side of the lobby morphed and shifted it's shape in front of the students. Those who happened to stand too close would be left drifting in the air for a moment before they could touch the ground again. There was also now a drinking fountain and vending machine close by. The students were allowed to get some snacks before they started class. Well not that snacks could be eaten inside... but they could come in handy. Especially when on the brink of death.

Tessa wasn't entirely sure what was going on but she'd been completely abandoned by the only people she knew here so far. Last year, she'd stayed out of the way, scarcely talked to anyone and she was pretty sure that was the only reason that she was still here. She had only just stayed under the radar. She stared after the direction that Octavius had run, followed by Kanari and narrowed her eyes. Where the hell did they go?

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

After finishing his skittles, Octavius (Now Emily) scuttled over to the trash can and threw the bag into it. Wonder where that Tessa girl is? Octavius walks around the lobby looking for the red head. He then sees her on the bench that they were all on a few minutes ago. He waves towards Tessa. I swear brain I will kill you!

 

[jinkx]

What the hell? That girl just waved at her. A total stranger just waved at her. Very slowly, Tessa raised her hand in a half wave before looking away. How incredibly awkward. Did she know that girl from somewhere? She didn't think so.

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

That was extremely awkward. All of a sudden an Idea pops into his (her) head. He walked up to the girl, "Sorry if I scared you but you looked like somebody I knew." He sits down on the bench next to Tessa's.

 

[jinkx]

She edged away a little.


"Really?" Tessa said, "You know lots of girls with fiery hair?" She raised an eyebrow; she wasn't stupid, "You do look familiar though. Were you in any of my classes last year?" She was suspicious. This was a weird school and Tessa didn't trust anyone here.

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

"No I'm new here. Many people say I look like my twin brother Octavius though, maybe that's why I look familiar. Have you met him yet?" He (She) starts twirling his hair with his fingers, "I haven't seen him today." God I hope this works, you better be right brain!

 

[jinkx]

"Octavius. Yeah, I've met him. He was okay." Tessa said, though she was still suspicious, "What's your name?" Octavius hadn't mentioned he had a twin but then again, they hadn't really talked. Maybe this really was his sister.

 

[The One Eyed Bandit]

Octa-Emily left to buy a snack, bewildered by recent events Kanari stayed where she was, thinking over what just had happened. So, there were people like that at this school? Just what other kind of people were there she wondered, anyone else with a 'curse' like Octavius had? She'd be sure to find out if there was anyone with similar circumstances, getting up she decided to head back to Tessa and explain herself. After a few wrong turns though, she found herself lost, no idea where the twisting hallways of this school lead, groaning she called out anyone who knew just what direction she should be headed "Anyone there? I'm lost! Give me a hand?"

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

"Well, my name's Emily." Octavius could sense that she was somewhat skeptical about me being my sister, "What's your name?" He instantly remembers he's wearing the exact same thing he wore when he was a boy. God dang it brain, I knew you'd mess up somehow! He quickly checks his watch which is now pretty big for him. It's only been 24 minutes since I transformed, only 36 more minutes until I turn back. "How long are classes, usually?"


((Sorry for the extremely late response, I unexpectedly took a 3 hour nap. ))

 

[neverin]

Sol,walked down the halls towards the restroom's he had hid himselfmso that no one would see him, but the halls had cleared up enough for him not to feel crowded in the halls. Pushing his black hair out of his face he sighs and slumps down next to the water fountian, energy surging through him and into the wall, the water fountian erupts, he looks at it winces.... then chuckles "goddamn it... why does it always have to be funny" his voice soft and giggly he mends the faucet with a flick of his finger, the water still all over the floor, he feels the joy fade as the water sinked into his clothes.

 

[jinkx]

(It's okay.)


Hi." Tessa said, "Emily. My name's Tessa." She was very not convinced. This girl looked too much like Octavius. Something was definitely going on. She noticed the girl check her watch.


"Classes? They're normally quite long. Depends." Tessa shrugged. She glanced at the nearby water fountain. It didn't normally malfunction. Something was going on.

 

[neverin]

Standing up, he slips and falls to his face, and hits the ground hard. And then sol notices energy leave his body again, and into the floor, the ground starts to shake a bit before splitting two feet by one inch across were sol fell, he jumps up looking left to right to see if anyone noticed and sighs as he sdd's no one. Turning to look at the puddle he slips again, this time both his hands flail and touch both water fountians, each on turning on then spurting water like crazy. Sol winces as he sits up, turning to look at the mess he made. Sitting up he taps both water fountians with his palms and they stop immediatley, leaving sol in a large ouddle of water.

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

Octavius starts laughing uncontrollably at what he saw, it was the type of laugh only guys could make."Did you see that guy over there?!" Now clenching his (her) stomach in pain from all the laughter, "Is all of the equipment like that, or was that just a chance happening, or something else." He asked Tessa with his eyes starting to water from all the laughter.

 

[neverin]

Looking over at the girl laughing at him,his mood changes. Standing up je walks right over to her, alongside another girl as well "you........laugh like a guy" he put it blantly, before looking at the water, lifting it, raising it above her head, then droping it on her. He then smilled and started to laugh "now its fair, you laughed at me, so I laughed at you" his voice soft he looked at the girl, she was kinda cute (immgoing to make my character fall fornthe wrong person.... if thats ok) raising his hand in a gesture to shake he smiles "names solarise, you can call me sol" he tried to hide the crimson flush on his face, he ussually never acted like this before.

 

[CharmingCthulhu]

Octavius heard Sol say that he laughed like a guy. Oh god did he find out, Brain I swear if I didn't need you I'd kill you. Octavius felt the water fall on him. "Pfffttt," He spitted out some water that had landed in his mouth. Thank god the curse only works if I'm a guy. How would a girl respond to this? He looks up at the tall boy named Sol, "My name's Emily, and you got my sweater wet." He glares at the boy hoping that that was how a girl would respond. He was though, trying to hide a laugh as it was pretty funny.
