Love, Life, and Highschool (now asleep)

[Legend of 8]

Jason sat back and held back a sneer. "Yeah right," he mumbled. It would take a miracle to change his mind on that subject. And his mind was set in that.

[PriamNevhausten]

Anion paused for a second. "...No, I'm new here, and don't really have a nickname," he said, deciding that he wouldn't allow his usual moniker out any further in this strange school. "But...love..." he nearly spat out the word. Perking up, he came up with an answer, "devotion in extreme, as in 'I love my work.'"

[Legend of 8]

Jason got a good chuckle at that one. He pretty much agreed with the new kid.

Maybe they'd get along after all.

That is, IF he didn't get in Jason's way. Otherwise, there'd be problems.

[SALSAlys]

Making a face, Mrs. Aguilera said "Apparently you boys aren't romantics. That'll probably change once you meet that 'special someone'. Isn't that such a cliche? 'Special someone'. Anybody recognize what literary device is used here? It uses the sounds of the words. You there. What do you think?"

Amie eyed the teacher's index finger, which was pointed in her direction. "Alliteration?"

"Good! Alliteration is the same sound said consecutively. Even the definition is alliterative! 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers' is another. Although speaking of peppers..." She glanced up at the clock. "You've only got a minute or two left until the end of the period. You'll get the plays tomorrow, and in the meantime, just get ready to go."

[Legend of 8]

'FINALLY!!!' Jason's mind screamed. Lunch had finally come.... time to go to the park and buy some good food, then head to the training area to relax and relieve stress before magic class.

He didn't want to put up with any bullshit from the bullies today. He'd just blast them and walk away if they said anything to him....

[PriamNevhausten]

Anion snorted at the insinuation that he would ever be caught attached so securely to another being. Attachments led to weakness, and eventually either betrayal from the attachee, or downfall brought by an outside enemy.

And that aside, he had too many secrets to get close to anyone. Anyone.

Anion looked around briefly, more out of trying to blend in with the other students, who were packing up their notebooks and the like, than out of any need to do so himself. After all, he really didn't have anything here. He glanced at the--what was the word Morgan had used? "Feline..."--girl whom Mrs. Aguilera had called Katyana; apparently she was one of the students with whom he would he sharing a residence. In a strange way, her difficulties with the language were not terribly difficult from his own--he was surprised that no one had noticed his inevitable bafflement at the level of politeness and time-particular slang used in the school. Perhaps the two could help eachother in some fashion.

Next up was magic class, he noted as he checked his schedule once more. He hoped that it would be up to his level, or more...a challenge would be nice.

[ArgusDevilmen]

Katrina shuffled about in her seat as the she sat there tapping her feet on the floot eagerly awaiting lunch and some time in the park. "Cmon.. cmon... I'm hungry here..."

Leon sighed quietly and was glad he had packed him and his sister large lunches. Looking about at the others who were getting uppity waiting for the bell. "This is agitating...."

[Legend of 8]

Jason was in no particular hurry. He slowly walked, his backpack slung on his back, and headed out to grab some 'good food,' ie hot dogs. He quickly paid for them, and then went to the practice area where one practices magic. He was glad that 5th was magic... that meant he could warm up before it began.

Lazily using levitation to bring the hot dogs to his mouth, he wondered what to start off with. He also hoped that no one would bug him today. He just wanted a nice peaceful lunch by himself... because he didn't particularly feel like having an even worse first day.

[SALSAlys]

The bell rang, dismissing all students from class.

* * *

Amie walked out quickly, heading straight towards the drama room. Her peanut-butter sandwich and bottle of water were already in her pack, and they were all the lunch she needed.

* * *

Sekor stood up, stretching his arms over his head before sniffing the air slightly. Turning to Sam, he spoke with stilted Common.

"My friend Kat is near. Shall get her?"

* * *

Krysta bounced out of her seat cheerfully, chirping towards Katyana.

"I'm starved! C'mon, let's hurry... I hear the lunch lines get long reeeally fast and I want pizza!"

"What's 'pe-zza'?" asked the confused catgirl.

"You don't know what pizza is? C'mon then, you have to try it!" She promptly began dragging Katyana out, the victim having a bewildered expression on her face.

* * *

Nan'tulla twirled a pencil in her thin fingers before depositing it into her backpack. Slinging the pack over her shoulders, she glanced at Blaze.

"Getting a cafeteria lunch or got one from home?"

[Oz 200]

Sam took a deep breath before he started to walk after Sekor.

" Is she the one smelling like fruits or pizza?"

[ArgusDevilmen]

Katrina leapt up having finally hearing the bell. With a chuckle she ran out of class to her her locker. Rummaging about and opening it in a hurry.

Leon sat up quietly and walked out of class heading for his locker as well. He opened his carefully and reached into it pulling out a bag with his and Katrina's lunches. "Finally we can go to the park....." He started to walk down the school hall way passing the other students hurrying about. After a few seconds Katrina ran up behind him and smiled tapping him on the shoulder. "C'mon Leon lets pick up the pace here i'm starved!"

Katrina grabbed Leons hand and began to run down the hall Leon stumbling behind after her. "Slow down sis! I'm not made for running!" After a bit of running, much to Leons dismay. They arrived at the park and sat down in the middle of it. "Here Sis...." Pulling out a smaller bag from within the other, he handed Katrina her lunch. "Woo! Finally some food!" Opening it up she pulled out a Sandwich,a Soda,an apple, and some assorted cookies for afterwards. Leon laughed as she began to eat, and he pulled out his own lunch made up of the same things. He bit into his apple and started with that. He also pulled out his Lute placing it by him on the ground to play after they finished.

(( Weee long eating post ))

[PriamNevhausten]

Anion stood, watching all the students try to cram themselves out of the door simultaneously--he sighed, and sat down until they had all filtered out, whereupon he stood, nodded towards Mrs. Aguilera, and strolled out himself.

The halls were once again bustling with the masses, and there was no opposite current as there had been before. Either it was an assembly, or a break time...he wasn't sure which, but he went with the flow of traffic, which led in a nice striaght path towards a very large, open area with some benched tables. Must be lunchtime, he thought, remembering firstly that there wasn't quite as much freedom of routine here as there had been in the course of his own 'other' studies, and secondly that he would probably actually have to eat again for the first time in the equivalent of several 'months.'

Soon he was pushed into a rather lengthy queue, which seemed to be moving at a snail's pace. Not even sure what he was waiting for, Anion stepped out of the line and sat at a vacant table, pulling a piece of parchment from the back of his belt, along with a quill. Unrolling it, he started plotting some magical theories...he'd need to figure out if the portal through which he had gotten here still left its residue, and all the commotion in the area would cover his chanting pretty well--not that anyone here would know what he would be doing. One more check to the back of his belt produced a small pouch of sand, which he used to sprinkle some vaguely-circular emblems on the center of the table. Passing his hand over them, it changed colors to red, then green, and if there were any disturbances lingering, the center would turn blue, with intensity varying upon the disturbance's strength. His chanting grew as he reached the peak of the incantation...

((cue morgan! hehe.))

[BlackBobTheMage]

Bob sat there for a moment after the bell and sighed. It's not that he hated lunch, he just found it boring and noisey. He wished hw could go to q quiet study hall or something, but he quietly resigned himself to the fact that it wasn't going to happen. Sulking he trudged through the halls and looked around. He decided just to take his stuff into lunch.

Reaching the lnch hall, he already found it bustling with people and demihumans. Bob seemed to be able to look down at nine tenths of the students in large room. Feeling like he stuck out like a sore thumb, Bob hunched a bit subconsciously.
He walked over to the tables and glanced around for an open one. To his dismay it seems he couldn't get an open area to himself.

The nearest open table was with an ominus looking boys scribling something on a piece of parchment... Wait, parchment? Bob pondered for a minute, but dismissed it and walked to a seat accross and one to the left of the boy. Bob took out his sketch pad and layved his head on his arm, absently doodling and dreading magic class, thinking 'I really hope I don't blow up this school like I did my last'.

[Legend of 8]

(OOC: I did??? Oh, sorry!!!! I'll be more careful.....)

Scarfing down the last hot dog and chugging the pop, he rubbed his hands and burped. Now that THAT was out of the way.... he looked around. Nobody was nearby.... and he needed some energy and frustration burned off.

Fire was too destructive.... however.... he flung some ice around, turning them into sculptures of people. Older people...

Screaming, he lobbed fire upon the ices sculptures, causing them to explode violently.

There, now he felt better... Time to practice some good stuff now.

Lifting up some rocks, he began to swing them around, practicing levitation some more.

(OOC:I hope you don't mind about that... I'll change it if you want to.)

[SALSAlys]

Damon was lurking in the shadows of several trees. A small glowing spark of orange flickered at his hand momentarily, then he exhaled a thin plume of smoke. He was with several of his friends, and glanced at Katrina and Leon, but didn't seem inclined to bother them, instead focussing his attention on his cigarette.

* * *

Morgan appeared at Anion's shoulder, touching him lightly and saying a brief, flat word which had a metallic overtone, tasting of sweet iron tempered in salt water...

The energy died down instantly.

"Anion— should I say Knyte? At any rate... magic is discouraged from being practiced outside of class or outside the practice area in my room. While small spells— like simple levitation to pick up a fallen object— are allowed, most spells which require equipment and length incantations are not allowed without sufficient warding. Come." Morgan led Knyte to the area where Jason was, which was inside a large building... probably the largest on campus. Crossing over the threshhold, a person went into the center of a large circle, bordered with black tiles which had white runes and sigils neatly incised on them.

"The area within the circle is shielded, so that magical emanations do not disturb things on the main campus," Morgan said softly.

* * *

Sekor's ears flicked back, as confused as Katyana had been.

"What is 'pizza'? But that's Katyana..." The two catboys reached Krysta and Katyana. "Katyana, this is Sam."

"Hello again!" said Krysta cheerfully.

"Hello," Katyana said, looking up at Sam curiously. She stepped forward and hugged him, then stepped back again. "Like Sekor said, I am Katyana."

"You guys going to the lunch line?" Krysta asked.

[Blaze Yamato Spirit]

'You know me, Nan'tulla. I never trust the school to provide me with food. Besides, by the time I get there all the half decent stuff is already gone.' Replied Blaze, standing and walking towards the door of the classroom slowly. 'How about you? Oh, and do you want some company during lunch?'

[Legend of 8]

Jason took a quick break to see who came in. He didn't want to hit somebody coming into the circle by accident....

When he saw who it was, he quickly shook it off and focused his energies again. What to try next.... something not TOO destructive, yet still a tad fun... he was tired of the missles... and fire didn't seem to quench his thirst enough....

He thought for a moment of attempting levitation on himself again, but thought better of it. He remembered what happened the last time he tried... very unpleasant memories.

Smiling, he looked at the new guy again. "Hey, name's Jason. I see you're new here, and already being escorted by our local magely-type teacher. Tsk tsk tsk, you really SHOULD read those rules in the book." Jason thought a moment. "Then again, come to think of it, I remember I had some problems with that as well.... heheheh. Still get in trouble sometimes, don't I?"

[BlackBobTheMage]

Bob watched as the boy sitting next to him was escorted from the lunchroom. He had heard what they were talking about, but Bob just dismissed the whole thing. He didn't like being nosy, but something in him always started to have to ask questions.

Bob sat up and looked around, just to learn the lunch room. He spotted Katyana and Sekor talking to somebody and grinned. He was glad that the young girl was making new friends, but Sekor still didn't look happy at all. He layed his head down again and smiled at Katyana and her group, remembering the morning with her and Sekor.

As Bobs eyes began to wander, he felt a slight, familiar twinge in his head. He grabbed it as the twinge only got worse. Groaning he burined his face in the table, and everything snapped out and he was somewhere different. He looked around, taking in what was around him before he was viloently brought back to reality, making his whole body shudder. He rubbed his head, which felt like someone had cracked a bat over it. He blinked and wiped his mouth, calmly saying "Well, that'll be fun...".

[ArgusDevilmen]

Katrina and Leon finished eating and they looked at each other for a moment silently. Leon broke the silence after a bit, "Sis, will you sing for me today?" Leon picked up his Ocarina standing up and looking at her smiling. "Please?"

Katrina looked back at him blushing. "Well....Since you made our lunches and also since I'm in a good mood..." She stopped for a moment looking about to make sure no one was in site. Not seeing anyone around she slowly stood up clearing her throat. Leon took the point, and began to place the Ocarina to his lips playing a tune, which Katrina quickly recognized and began to sing to. "In your dreams, Magical thoughts. All things are real unless you dream they're not!" She and Leon continued in the middle of the park.

(( And if you don't recognize that song I pity you for not playing Lunar. ))

[Oz 200]

He looked down on the girl that just hugged him

"Cute.... well i was more thinking of going to the park"

[BlackBobTheMage]

Bob still had the shakes from what just happened. He grabbed his sweaty head again and waited for the pain to reduce to a dull thump in his brain. He hated when that happened. Shaking his head a bit again, he looked around to see if anyone was looking at him. To his knowlege there was not, and for this he was glad. He did not enjoy unwanted attention.

Sitting up he glanced around again before returning to his slouched postition, burying his face in his arm and sighing. He was thirsty now, but he had no money. He poked his eyes out from his arm and looked around for a water fountain or a bathroom. He rubbed his face in an effort to keep himself awake, as he was already tired before lunch.

[SALSAlys]

Nan'tulla grinned. "Sure." Her many spindly legs kept her beside Blaze as they walked out. "Company'd be nice, and I brought my own lunch." She wrinkled her nose slightly. "For some reason most of the school food gives my spider half indigestion. And that means I start spitting webbing. Not nice."

* * *

"Sounds good," said Katyana. "Sekor, I have our lunches in my pack."

"Going to the park?" said Krysta. "Too bad... I have to stay here. School spirit stuff, with all the cheerleaders walking around." She sighed, but didn't seem like she'd be too lonely, since Stacy then bounced up.

"Hey, hey! Hey again, Sam! And who're you two?"

"Katyana," replied the catgirl, giving her a hug. Stacy returned it enthusiastically. Sekor glanced down and muttered his name, clearly uneasy with all the sudden company. Noticing it, Katyana tweaked his tail and turned to Sam.

"We go to the park now?"

"Bye then!" said Stacy, dragging along Krysta to the lunchline. After going through it and both getting pizza, they went to a table with Terri, the cheerleader of the brightly dyed hair, sitting near Bob.

* * *

"All right. Amie?"

"Yes?" the girl replied to the drama teacher, Mrs. Alkyre. Mrs. Alkyre was a formidable woman with russet hair. Tall and sturdy, she looked like she could play rugby as her own team... and win. Her hair was tied into a tight, practical braid, and her clothing was loose and comfortable.

"The schedule for this play... we're going to try and get it done around late November or early December, right? So we've got a little over three months. Now, I already know most of our crew, so I think I know which parts are going to be done for who. As for the play..." she cleared her throat, gathering the attention of a little over twenty other students in the room, eating lunch while chatting and skimming over the thick script.

"Most of you have already read a little of the play by now. Basically, it's a boy-meets-girl thing. The title is unoriginal— "New Boy," I mean honestly..." she sighed. "But the play itself is pretty good. The story goes with a new boy arriving at the school and having two girls get interested in him. One is a stereotypical "bad girl" named Rozzy, and the other is class valedictorian and all-around goody-two-shoes named Lisa. Now, guess who gets the boy? Lisa, that's right...

"At any rate, this is going to have a lot of singing involved, especially Lisa's part. Unfortunately— well, the actress best suited to Lisa doesn't have a voice which is up to it." Mrs. Alkyre smiled apologetically at a girl with short, elegantly bobbed hair. "Now, what I'm thinking is pulling one of the girls from the choir class over and doing a voice-over for Nicole here. In other words, Nicole lip-synchs and the girl who does the singing is backstage and singing into a microphone.

"Main characters... there are a couple. Alan, you're the new boy's best friend on the football team, who is also named Alan... although that's not why I chose you to play him. Kelly, you're being Sandra, Lisa's older sister..." The teacher ticked through the cast. "...Nicole, you know you're already being Lisa, and—"

Skimming through her script again, Amie's heart began pounding.

I can't believe this...

"Patrick, you're the new boy, Derek, and Amie—" Mrs. Alkyre peered at the thin girl. "You're Rozzy." The rest of the class blinked in surprise.

"But Mrs. Alkyre!" she protested. "I mean, LOOK at me! I don't think—"

"You're good at acting. You'll manage. Besides, girl..." The teacher smiled slightly. "Think I'd have chosen you if you couldn't do it?"

Amie sat back in bewildered silence. Mrs. Alkyre began speaking again, stressing to everybody to begin practicing and come in after school.

"And remember, talk with some of your friends and see if any girls who can sing are willing to help. We're a mostly male class, and even if we don't get somebody to do the solos for Lisa's part, we're going to need a few extras to stand around and sing in chorus, to balance out our tenors and baritones. Got that?"

[BlackBobTheMage]

Bob had closed his eyes in an effort to get some sleep before magic so he wouldn't be completely disoriented when doing spells. He heard two voices giggling next to him, so he sulkily turned his head to see- BABES! Two! babes! next-to-him! He tried to remain cool, but he wans't a ladies man at all and he knew it. He was a big stupid shy goof when it came to women. His past pickups with the classics 'heaven must be missing an angel' and 'running through my mind' techniques had gotten him either a slap in the face, or a swift kick to the nads. Both were unpleasent, but his lower region didn't need to be hurting as much as his head was.

He looked shyly at the two girls, completely wideyed. He thanked god for his hat and the shadow it cast on his face, becaus his cheeks were probably fire-red by now. They felt like it anyway. They seemed to be talking and giggling with eachother as girls often do, and Bob let out an inaudible sigh. He slowly tore his attention back to his drawing, cursing at himself for completely wimping out. He broke his pencil out of the angst and went on like nothing happened...Cruses!

[PriamNevhausten]

Anion scowled, dissatisfied. "Well, if I can't cast my sensory spells otherwise in the school, and if I cast it here I can't sense outside of the shielded range, then this spell is no longer of any use to me," he said resignedly, tying up the bag of sand again after returning his circles' contents thereto. It's too bad I'm too low-rank for any other of my kind to bother pursuing me to bring me back to the keep, he thought, and I can't ask just anyone in the halls about temporal magicks...I suppose I'd be best off learning what I can of my trade here until I can return under my own power. I hope magic class includes some minor item-creation...

He noted his area again. Lifting an arm, he spread his fingers wide, palm down.

"FULMINUS BENITE!!"

A single, small missile of light passed from his hand across the shielded area until it passed over the runes, whereupon it immediately vanished, just as Morgan had promised. "Fascinating," he noted over his shoulder to Morgan. "Tell me...are there ever held events of cértamen here?"

((if Morgan knows a lot of really REALLY old terminology, he'll know that's a magician's duel.))

[ArgusDevilmen]

Leon and Katrina both stood there, in the middle of the park playing and singing the song almost to perfection minus a few back up intruments. After a while Katrina stopped noticing a few people had stopped to listen to her. She blushed faintly and looked to Leon who stopped playing as she looked at him. Taking the Ocarina down from his lips he smiled at her greatfully. "Thanks Sis, that was wonderful!" He seemed to be a different person completely when he was playing, not shy at all.

"Yeah well..." Katrina glanced over at the few people who stopped to listen, and were now talking among themselves. "I prefer singing when there aren't people listening, besides you of course." She winked at him then looked back over as the people walked off. Letting out a sigh of relief she breathed in and turned to Leon again. "Shall we sing another song? Now that the on lookers left that is."

Leon smiled at her and scratched the back of his head. "What song..... Hmmm......" He slowly looked at his Ocarina and snapped his fingers. "I got it!" He placed the Ocarina back to his lips and slowly began to play a slower melody then last time.

Katrina chuckled a bit and waited for him to play to the part where she would begin singing. After a few seconds she started the song, "Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Juipiter and Mars......."

[SALSAlys]

Stacy and Krysta continued chatting. Krysta, the one sitting closest to Bob, was oblivious to his turmoil. Terri glanced briefly at the mage, but returned her attention to the others.

* * *

Morgan had to think a little before replying. "Been a while since I heard that term..." he muttered, more to himself than Knyte. "But yes, there are duels. Certain spells are prohibited of course, and there are some different divisions... free-for-alls, teams, and the traditional one-on-ones."

* * *

Amie finished her lunch quickly, and Mrs. Alkyre dismissed the class. Thinking over her part, slightly in shock, she directed her steps towards the park, arriving in time to hear...

"Fly me to the moon..."

Hey, that's good! she thought in surprise.

[Legend of 8]

"Duel? Hmm.... I don't believe the school has had an OFFICIAL duel in awhile. If it has, I haven't heard of it." Jason thought interestedly. Trying spells without components was tough.... he sort of self-taught himself those. He didn't really like the prepared spells thing... he'd rather just dish it out whenever the circumstance called for it.

He was getting better, that was for sure. But a duel... he didn't know if he would be prepared for something so... rigorous. Might be interesting though.

After several moments of thought, Jason looked at his watch. "Hey, still plenty of time before class. Wanna have a go?"

[PriamNevhausten]

Anion turned to Morgan before he answered Jason. "I don't suppose there is some sort of healing spell placed on the area as well, for miscast spells, or for perhaps more favorable endings to duels?"

[Legend of 8]

Jason smiled. He certainly hoped Morgan would allow it. He'd always been a pretty cool teacher... besides, this would be the PERFECT warmup for Jason today. He'd never been able to practice like this.

He didn't allow the adrenaline to begin flowing just yet, however, but he certainly was prepared. But there was always a chance he could get disappointed.

However, in the back of his mind was a presence.... a longing of a different sort... it suddenly rushed up to him, but he shoved it aside. He'd think about THAT later. Now was not the time to feel depressed.

[ArgusDevilmen]

"Fill my heart with song, and let me sing forever more. You are all I long for, all I worship and adore. In other words, please be true! In other words, I love you!" Katirna let out a sigh and looked at Leon who placed his ocarina in his pack and applauded her smiling. Katrina blushed rubbing the back of her head laughing nervously to cover up for the blushing.

"That was excellent Sis!" Leon looked at her, stopped clapping, and laughed for the first time all day. "It always cheers me up to hear you sing." He sat down on the grass looking up to Katrina who sat down as well, quickly laying down on her back hands behind her head. "Yeah Leon, I'm just glad if I can do something to perk you up everyday." The two of them laid and sat there staring at the sky discussing some things.

[BlackBobTheMage]

Bob looked over at the girls. He obviously had to make some sort of move. He'd never EVER forgive himself if he gave up this oppertunity. He was sure there would be others, but this was probably one of a finite amount. He glanced over to the girl next to him and was about to say something, when the girls suddenly giggled and threw him off gaurd.They returned to their chat, and Bob couldn't find an opening in the conversation without looking like he was butting in or starving for attetntion. He stared down at the table again and sighed again. Looking back at his drawing he slid the paper back to his center of vision. He forcefully shut his eyes and then looked down, at the paper.

[SALSAlys]

Morgan chuckled. "While it's nice to see that you both are interested... I'm afraid not. Magic duels are discouraged unless it's official. But then again..." He glanced between the two boys. "It has been a while. Year before last, most duels were cancelled because some people ran wild with spells and nearly killed a student. However, I think it'd be good to start it up again. With enough student support, there may even be a functioning dueling club again, to go against other schools."

He glanced between them thoughtfully again.

"Since most of the clubs at school haven't started up yet, you shouldn't be officially allowed to duel."

Morgan smiled slightly. "However, some rules are too rigid. Knyte, the circular blue tile in the center of the circle triggers a healing spell if you step onto it. In other words..."

He stepped back.

"If both of you are willing, go for it. I'll be the judge."

* * *

Amie glanced around, coming into sight of Katrina and Leon. She could see Damon's group, but...

DAMON singing in a girl's voice? Or any of his friends? So that must be her...

She could feel herself beginning to flush.

Stop that! It's not like you're asking her out or something! Wait, BAD comparison!

Shunting her thoughts aside, she turned to Katrina and Leon, then swallowed.

"Excuse me?" Amie said softly. "Um, I heard you singing..." Her voice trailed off, but she remembered herself and continued. "Mrs. Alkyre, the drama teacher, is looking for singers, and... um..." Her cheeks were growing heated. She could feel it.

"You're really good," she finished akwardly, not sure how to frame the question.

* * *

Stacy giggled again, then glanced at a clock on the school wall.

"Nuts! Krysta, gotta go! Terri, we were supposed to be at the meeting for the older cheerleaders five minutes ago!"

Terri blanched, then stood up, upending her empty food tray over a garbage can. Both of them gave Krysta a quick hug, then burst into a run.

Krysta waved after them, then sighed.

Both of them are gone, and Katyana's going to the park, she thought glumly, swallowing the last of her pizza. And lunch still has fifteen or twenty minutes to go...

[BlackBobTheMage]

Bob watched as the girls left, leaving the one sitting closest to him looking glum and bored. He smiled and looked over to her, "Why the sad look? Oh I'm sorry, my name is Bob..."

He felt like slapping himself after he said it. Smooth...

[ArgusDevilmen]

Leon looked at Amie blinking for a moment before blushing faintly. He fidgeted as he sat on the grass and nudged Katrina. "Sis shes talking to you...."

Katrina blinked looking up at Amie from the ground raising an eye brow. "Hm..?" She sat up and span around so she was facing her crossing her legs to sit indian style. "Well.. um thanks...." She stopped for a moment finally taking in what she was trying to ask. "W-Woah! Hold on there, I may be good singer but I only sing with Leon." She managed to studder out before nudged Leon in the side with her elbow to get some help.

Leon cringed as he was nudged and looked at Amie nevrously nodding his head to her. "It's true... she refuses to sing unless I'm around....No one reall even knows my sis here is such a good singer...." Leon finished his little input on the subject and looked down at the grass infront of him.

Katrina shook her head and looked at Amie. "Like bro said, unless he's with me I don't sing. At least not out loud..." She laughed and rubbed the back of her head nervously. "Ya get what i'm saying? We are like a duo." Leon raised a eye brow at this but didn't complain

[Legend of 8]

Jason looked at the blue tiles. "Y'know, I always DID wonder what those were for... guess I know now, don't I?" He chuckled. "Well, if he's ready for a go, then I am...."

He looked at Knyte. Ought to prove interesting... he hoped.

[SALSAlys]

Krysta turned to face Bob, a smile flickering on her face. "I was looking sad? I guess, maybe... this is my first day here, and I don't know too many people yet. My friends are busy with some other things right now."

Amie nodded. "That's all right... you wouldn't even have to be on stage." The words tumbled out of her quickly. "If he's playing an instrument, it'd still sound good, but we just need the singing for one of the parts... or even just in the choir. It really does sound good..."

"first day here, huh?" Bob continued, "yea, it's mine too. I jut moved here". Bob looked at the girl for a moment, "So, you're a cheerleader then?"

"Well, if you're going to make an exception, I suppose," Anion tapped his hip, and felt the empty daggersheath, his face instantly turning to surprise at the realization that he was ill-prepared for a duel of any sort, "that...I guess...we'll just have to wait for another day, when duelling has become standard procedure again..." He sighed. Though he had been facing Jason the whole time, he only now began to address him. "I trust you will be ready for me when the time comes?" he remarked.

Blast! I need to get my hands on some new gear soon...

Well the walk to the park wasn’t that long and when they arrived their where already lots of people there.

“This is the park local hang out place and the best place for lunch if you ask me”

Krysta nodded, tapping the golden chevron on the chest of her cheerleading outfit. "Yep."

Katyana nodded, looking around curiously. "It's nice here." When they stopped, she sat down in a sunny patch on the grass. Though cool, the grass wasn't damp. Then she opened up her backpack and brought out two bagged lunches, handing one to Sekor. The tiger took out a large pastrami sandwich and chewed on it thoughtfully as Katyana nibbled on a banana.
