"Bite me." Angelina growled at Fisher. "Have fun with your chat, I will be out on a walk." Angelina walked out of Nates house annoyed with Fisher. "What now? Guess it is time to do some more snooping." She decided as she made her way back to Mr. Fishers office building. She figured she needed to find out more about him. This time hopefully without him expecting her to be there. She needed the real dirt, not stuff planted there. And what better time to look then when he was tied up with Nate. Angelina turned into a guard she passed on the way to the building. Hopefully she could get away with it again this time. She walked straight in through the front door this time. She tired to look confident and like she belonged there as she made her way towards Mr. Fishers office.
Karina went back to her music, listening and singing along with the female parts of the song. She had already pressed repeat once and as the song was coming to a close was about to again, she looked up. The guy, she thought she may have heard the name Blaze being tossed around was leaving. She figured they had finally finished their conversation, not that Karina actually caught any of it. She was too wrapped up in her music to pay any attention whatsoever. She honestly had no idea what was going on, all she knew is that she now had a new keyblade. She summoned it to examine it. It looked pretty sweet, definitely her style. She figured that she would keep it for a while, or at least till she get something stronger then it. Strength always beat style, every time. She needed to be strong, she needed to prove her worth. Karina figured it was time to take the keyblade for a test run. She got up and walked straight past everyone without saying a word and outside. There was actually room to breath out here. Karina wanted to be alone as she practiced, so she went as far away from the main building as possible. She made her way to a cliff that didn't really look over anything, but it was a nice spot. Plus it was quiet, no one was there to disturb her. Once again here she summoned her keyblade. "Eric, what am I doing? Should I even be here right now? Do I belong here?" She looked up at the sky as she spoke to her brother like he could hear her. She swung her keyblade around. "I was never trained to do this. I shouldn't even be fighting. Would it have been better just to take the path mom and dad set out for me? Follow their rules?" She continued to question out loud. Karina had been practicing for a good hour before she got tired and sat at the edge of the cliff. She looked up at the sky wondering if her brother was looking at the same stars. "You better be taking good care of my horse, you hear me Eric? If you don't I might just have to go home and use this thing on you." She looked over at the keyblade laying beside her as she chuckled a bit. Her chuckle quickly faded as her voice cracked. "But I can't can I? It isn't safe for me there anymore. I betrayed my family and that can be punishable by death. Just the fact that I fight is an offense there..." Karina started to softly cry as she brought her legs up to her chest and hid her face in them. "Will I ever be able to see you again Eric? Will I be able to sleep in my own bed, or ride my horse? Will I even find a new place to call my home." Karina desperately wished she could contact her brother, he was her only friend. But if contacting him meant there was a chance that the rest of her family would find her, she couldn't do it. She couldn't let her family find out where she was, or why she was there. Girls stayed in the house and cooked and cleaned in her culture, she wasn't allowed to fight or anything, if a girl was to fight, they where not to be trusted. And if they disobeyed their fathers wishes... well depending on the extent, it could be punishable by death. Running away from home to fight, and refusing to marry the one she was betrothed to, well that really wouldn't turn out well for her and she knew it. That was why she could never go home. As long as she was alone Karina let herself break down and cry, it had been a long time since she had done that and it was long overdue.
Rachelle heard Elisa's comment about needing to heal her leg but ignored it and kept going. Her leg didn't hurt... that much. Not enough for her to stop. That would only take up more time that she didn't need to bother being taken up. They where far enough behind as it was. They needed to be quick. Stopping was no way to be quick, it only slowed her down more. She was able to keep up a decent pace even with an injured leg so it didn't really matter too much. Well at least in her opinion. If Katrina was there she wouldn't let Rachelle go on with a hurt leg, in fact she would stand in front of her and prevent her from going anywhere until she let someone help her or at least bandage the wound. But Elisa would never do that to her and even if she did, Rachelle would simply push her to the side and keep going. The town was finally insight. Rachelle sighed in relief, if she had done her calculations correctly the group they where going to meet should be in this town around now. They walked into town and Rachelle looked over at her friend for the first time since the battle with the wolves. "You ready for this? You ready to be heroes!?" Elisa asked her. "Uh huh..." Rachelle answered in a pretty monotone voice as she continued into the town looking for a large group of people who she figured would be there. "We shall create peace together my brothers and sisters. Let us march forth together!" Rachelle heard someone yell from a stage. There was a group of people standing around listening to this man. "Looks like that may be the group we are looking for." Rachelle said looking at Elisa, with a small smile on her face. "Lets introduce ourselves shall we?" Rachelle started making her way towards the group but they began to disperse as she did. She wasn't sure about which way she should go or who to talk to now. She stood in the middle of a bunch of the people moving around nervously. "Um, excuse me. Can we help?"
No I wouldn't. I am not that dumb to let them rob me. I know better
Location: OmegaTech Facility- Stealth Op's room Time: 7:45 AM Mood: Embarrassed,quiet From the back of the group Rachael could see very little. Only enough to know what they where suppose to do. From the back of the room she didn't make eye contact with many people since all she could see was the back of their heads. But on occasion she would by accident and their thoughts would pour into her head. She hated it and wanted to run out of the class out of embarrassment every time it happened. The only thing was that no one knew she was doing it so it would be more of a scene to run away. It was better just to stay there are try to avoid eye contact. When it came to her turn Rachael nervously walked up to the course keeping her head down. She found it easy enough to do since she could use her powers a lot of the time. She had no need to get too close to what she was suppose to be sneaking through the course to get. If she got close enough and stayed out of sight, she could simply use her powers to levitate it out of there. She got the file almost to her position but when she went to grab a hold of it she lost concentration and dropped it. The papers flew everywhere and triggered the alarm which meant you may have been spotted. Rachael turned around to face her class nervously as the teacher shook her head. Rachael could hear he think how useless she was. Rachael looked up at the rest of the class that was laughing. Thoughts of many of the students raced into her mind at once confusing her. She couldn't figure out what was going on and all the thoughts at once where too much to handle. "Shut up!" She yelled at the class as she fell to her knees. But at this point they where no longer laughing. In fact it was quiet in the room. "All of you shut up or I will hurt you!" She yelled out in her confusion as all the voices started to quiet down in her mind. She only then realize no one was talking. Rachael picked herself up off the ground and ran to the back of the class where she sat in the corner holding her book tight trying not to run out of the room and get in more trouble then she already was in. Rachael was embarrassed and her eyes started to well up with tears but she refused to let herself cry. She had already made enough of a scene today.
I am Terra. Don't know what to think about this. It isn't a bad thing I guess
It sounds great Maka. At first I couldn't quite tell the difference between you singing and what it originally sounded like. Keep up the good work. I always like hearing your impressions and singing, they are so good and always put a smile on my face. Keep up the good work. ^^
May as well join in on this and equity frolic flame too
Time zones can be confusing for me. If it is within three hours of my current time zone I can figure it out pretty easily. Any further I find it hard to keep track of exactly how far ahead they are. I just generally don't remember or don't know in the first place. Besides that it is just keeping track of which time zone people are in. Being on sites like this you talk to people from so many different places that it is easy to lose track of who is in what time zone sometimes. But for the most part I honestly don't care unless I am trying to contact someone and it might be too late for them and they are in bed. Sometimes I think it would be easier for there not to be time zones, but I know they are necessary so I just suck it up and try to remember who is in what time zone.
I was bored so I straightened my hair, so yeah. Spoiler
I guess I will sign up too
"Not a chance." Rachelle retorted to Elisa. She wasn't about to show that she had a slight moment of weakness, that would be embarrassing. No she had to finish this off for the sake of her sister, and her town. Rachelle would start by finishing off the wolves that she injured but didn't kill, before taking down the remaining few. The one she slashed in the side was laying down on the ground obviously in pain. She walked up to it calming and almost had a look of compassion as she brought her sword down on and through its head. The wolf let out a small whimper before it died. Next she turned around to see that the other wolf had just stepped away from its friend that she killed earlier. This one was not injured as bad, in fact it would be harder now. The wolf looked pissed and she didn't know if she was ready to deal with it. Either way she had to. She charged towards it showing little fear. She would do anything for her sister Katrina, even if it killed her. But now wasn't the time to die. Rachelle brought her blade up on the wolf with an underhand cut. She caught it under the chin knocking it back and up, also killing it. Two left. They were both hers. Elisa already had her fun. She couldn't let that spoiled brat show her up. Rachelle came from the slums, she had to deal with stuff like this and teach herself. She wasn't going to let the one who had proper training but no practical practice show her up. Rachelle closed her eyes for a moment to concentrate while the wolves where still a fair distance away. When she opened them, there was a slight fierceness in the way she glared at the wolves. It was time for this battle to end. She started walking up to them slow, but her pace quickened as she approached. One of the wolves took a leap at her, but she stabbed it in the stomach then let it fall to the ground as it whimpered. The other one charged towards her and took a swipe at her, but she narrowly dodged it, turning and moving to its side. She stabbed down at it, unfortunately she missed and it got a swipe in on her leg. "Ugh, damn wolf!" She yelled as she regained her composer. She then took another stab at the wolf, this time successfully stabbing it through the back. She then turned and stabbed it and the other wolf in the head to ensure they where dead and wouldn't suffer. Now that the battle was over Rachelle continued along the path without saying another word to her friend. She was on a mission, there was no time for talk, or to deal with the wound on her leg. Sure it hurt, but she wasn't going to let that stop her. It wasn't like she was going to die from loss of blood, it was just a few scratch marks. The where not overly deep in her mind. "Katrina, I will do anything for you. It will all be over before you know it, trust me." She whispered as she held a small locked that was hanging around her neck. She never opened the locket and no one around knew what it contained, not even Elisa. But it was her most precious possession and never went anywhere without it.
"Yes." Angelina snarled continuing to hold out the dagger. "Trust me Nate you want nothing to do with him, it will be best for everyone if he wasn't around anymore." Angelina then turned to Fisher. "I know how to fight just fine thank you. I am not an average girl you know." She brushed Nates hand off her shoulder and stepped forward towards Mr. Fisher. "Oh and why would I tell him about your little deal? It is nothing he needs to be involved in. I won't let you do this!" Angelina launched herself forward at Mr. Fisher with her dagger in front of her going for a full out attack on the guy. It seemed he was everywhere she went and she was sick of it. He needed to just disappear. Humans used to be her friends, she wasn't going to let him bring any harm, whatsoever to them.
"I wasn't there for that fight, but knowing Beuce he is probably blowing things a little out of proportion or leaving details out." Louvel explained to Caleb. "But I say we should go in and see what R is up to, then report to the king. We came here to deal with the heartless and nobodies, nothing more. I agree we should figure out whats up but make no move till we have the kings approval." Louvel finished. He hoped this group was competent enough to listen to his suggestion. But knowing Beuce it would go in one ear and out the other. "But we may not have time for that. We have a set time limit before kingdom hearts destroys everything, do we not?" Azurite questioned. He wasn't one to waste time if he thought it could be better spent doing something else. "There is more of us here and just one of him. If he seems like a threat shouldn't we just challenge him now?" "No!" Louvel said with a loud serious voice. "I have read a lot about him, we aren't ready yet. Beuce won by a fluke, R wouldn't be that easy to beat, trust me." Louvel quickened his pace and joined Caleb at the front of the group. No one was going to get injured or killed on his watch this time. They had already lost a couple, one in each world they had been to. But not this time. Kaya looked at Ruby. "Then perhaps you want to tell me exactly where he is because I have no clue. If he was in the castle he would hear me. But I assume he isn't since he hasn't come. So what now genius?" Kaya said struggling to her feet. She would find her sister again eventually, but for now she needed to cure her wounds, just in case she ran into Louvel. Despite knowing it was true Sapphire didn't want to be watched over. Even if Kaya was coming for her. She had always been on her own, and frankly didn't really trust people. First impressions could be deceiving. You can't always trust people just because they are nice to you. On top of it all she wanted things to go back to normal, that wouldn't happen with someone following her around. "Thanks for the concern but no. I don't want someone following me around protecting me. I will be fine on my own." Sapphire said as she shifted her position a bit. A tear ran down her face as a sharp pain made its way from the back of her knees all the way up her back. King Mickey stirred a bit as the cure spell was cast on him. He opened his eyes and began to pick himself up off the ground. "What happened?" He asked as he rubbed the back of his head. "Gee I hope Annabelle and Sapphire are still safe inside." He said as he turned to Kaxar. "Did everyone get back here okay?"
Rachelle is also going to Crypson Forest. spending points on Clover
Location: OmegaTech Facility- Stealth Op's room Time: 7:25 AM Mood: Embarrassed, Angry Rachael was quietly reading her book even as the teacher was talking. There wasn't much of a in class lesson, just a briefing before they go to work on practical training. She didn't pay much attention to the briefing, she would just watch the others and figure out what she should do. Taking instruction was not really her thing. Elle would know that too well by this point. Her book was too interesting to put down. She was at a point in the story where the girl was about to fight her way out of a serious situation. She was in the forest, running away from the antagonist and was faced with a pack of wolves. Rachael wished she was strong enough to fight like the girl in her book does, but she could never be that strong. The girl was just about to get attacked by one of the wolves from behind as the teacher announced it was time to head out to the training room for stealth ops. The class started to get up and head out, but one boy walked up to Rachael trying to take her book away. Rachael closed her book and smacked the boy over the head with it. If there was one thing that Rachael cared about and protected, it was her books. No one was allowed to touch her books and everyone knew that. "You are going to pay for that." The boy growled at her. Rachael didn't like this boy, he was one of many that had a habit of giving her a hard time. Usually she would shake it off and just walk away, but she was just annoyed today. Rachael stood up and pushed past the boy as she went to follow the class. As Rachael waked away, she turned around to see the boy approach the teacher. He was obviously going to tell on her. "It is like everyone is trying to get me in trouble, and if I am in trouble with the teacher, I am in trouble with Elle." Rachael mumbled as she continued following. She would try to stay back and out of the way to get away in order to try to stay out of trouble the rest of the day and hope that the teacher would forget. But it was unlikely that would happen. For now she would stand back and watch till she was forced to take her turn.
Rachelle walked out of her village, head held high. She was about to set off on a trip, one that would hopefully result in keeping her little sister safe. She was a little late setting off, but she had to make sure her sister was taken care of before she could go anywhere. It was just the two of them now and it was hard enough leaving her sister. She needed to ensure she was in good hands before she left. It was hard to see the pain behind the prideful face that Rachelle put on. This was the first time leaving her sister since their parents passed on. No one in her town thought of her as much more as the local trouble maker, they just saw the crap she would cause around town and never bothered to look deeper. Inside there was a hurting soul. But she couldn't show it, she had to stay strong for her sisters sake. She refused to cry. Not even at her parents funeral did she shed a tear, instead she stayed strong enough for both her and her sister. But with the war as a threat, it was time for her to do more then act strong for the both of them, she had to outright protect her sister. Rachelle took a deep breath as she took the first step out and started on her journey. She gripped her sword tight in hand, the road ahead of them would not be easy but she had to be quick. There was a group already out that she was planning to meet up with... or catch up with as it was. She turned to her best friend who was coming a long for the trip "I hope you are ready for what is coming." She commented looking ahead at a small pack of wolves. Rachelle gripped her sword tighter as she continued walking forward not waiting for her friends response. Her was quickly turned into a jog, then a sprint as her vision focused in on the wolves. She brought her sword up and once close enough, launched herself at the wolves. She immediately started by slashing one down the side before turning around and stabbing another in the back. They where both still alive but quite weakened, but there was more then two wolves to deal with here. Standing there surrounded by wolves, Rachelles adrenaline began to pump, she could hear her heart beating in her ear, and her hands where sweating. But this was just the beginning, she was merely getting warmed up. A wolf swiped at her and she jumped up doing a back flip out of the way, once out of the way it was time to go back on offence. She stabbed one in the chest and flung it at another one. The one she stabbed died, but the other one was trying to push his friend off him, and he didn't look happy about it. Rachelles mind was darting from one wolf to another, too many to focus on at once, it was almost making her dizzy. Before this she trained herself and was never put in a situation like this. It was overwhelming for her. That is when an image of her sisters bright shining face popped into her head. She had to finish this.
Karina glared up at Flora. She didn't care to talk to her. She wanted to be left in peace. She picked up her music player and replayed the song she was just listening to. She looked back down giving Flora the idea to go away and leave her alone. It seemed the other dude was still talking about whatever he was talking about. She hadn't listened to one word of his thing and didn't care to know what he was talking about. Even if she was paying attention there was a good chance that most of what he said would go in one ear and out the other anyways. There was no point.
Kaya opened a dark coredoor to Castle Oblivion. She crawled through with Ruby in tow. Once inside the castle she closed the door and curled up on the ground. "I will get that girl! Where the hell is R?!" Sapphire took a seat on Lysa's lap. She was ready to leave this place. She wanted to go back to her small forest where she would continue hiding from the world as the local convic. Even that life was better then this. "Just take me to Twilight Town, please." She said quietly,
Location: OmegaTech Facility- Rachael's room Time: 6:49 AM Mood: Nervous/slightly scared Rachael jolted awake, sitting straight up as she woke up. A bead of swear dripped off her forehead and onto her now messy bed sheets. She glanced at her clock. 6:49 it read. Ten minutes before her alarm was due to go off. Rachael let herself drop back down to her bed and closed her eyes for a minute. Is that all I am good for? Hiding in a corner? She was thinking back to the dream she had just had. But it wasn't just a dream, it was a memory, of the raid. You said none of us were really emotionally effected by the raid, but how can you be sure? Just look at how Elle reacted to the news, and me with this nightmare. Is that really what you think not being effected is like? Rachael's mind was racing with these questions and ones similar. She had had trouble getting to sleep the night before do to their mission briefing and now again she found herself wide awake thinking about it. But a mission is a mission, I have to do this. I can't let my fear slow down our team. I can't let them see I am scared either cause that in and of itself could slow us down. We don't need people stopping to worry about me. Rachael had finally made up her mind on what she was going to do. Forget the dream and move on with the day. Rachael's alarm started beeping seemingly moments after she had laid back down. She rolled out of bed and dragged herself to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she had bags under her eyes, slightly darker then the usual ones she would get when she stayed up late reading. Her face was also slightly read and tear stained. "Was I crying in my sleep?" She asked herself as she splashed cold water on her face to help wake herself up. But no matter how much she washed her face it still looked red and her eyes where still dark. Walking out of the bathroom Rachael found a small stash of makeup that had been shoved under her bed long ago, she never normally wore makeup but this was different, she looked out of it and needed to hide that. At least for class. She walked back in front of the mirror and started to attempt to put her makeup on. She definitely wasn't the best at it but she didn't really care, just as long as it did the job she wanted it to do. Rachael continued to slowly go about her morning activities, brushing her teeth, getting dressed, stuff like that till she finally glanced back at her clock. 8:10. She was going to be late for class at this pace, it was at almost the opposite end of the facility and she had yet to grab breakfast. Rachael grabbed a sweater off the back of her chair in her room and raced out the door. She got a few steps out of her room when she realized that she had forgotten her book in her room. She turned around and quickly grabbed it off her shelf. She never did get around to putting it away properly the night before. She decided to skip breakfast a go straight for class before she could get in trouble for showing up late. As she neared the classroom she slowed down to catch her breath. She didn't want it to appear that she was running into class late, especially in a class all about stealth. If she ran through the door full on puffing it wouldn't be that stealthy. Once she caught her breath she walked through the door, keeping her head down as always to avoid eye contact with people. Rachael headed straight for the back of the room where she sat down and began to read her book while waiting for the lesson to start. Stealth Ops wasn't her favourite class but it was good for her to take. It was where her powers would be best put to use. Besides she didn't feel the need to go to some other classes, for example math. She could already do math 3 levels higher then she should be for her age, and she read at a collage rang. Academics where not a problem for her, but practical was a little more of an issue. Especially practical stuff having to do with other people. So here she was, in stealth ops. One of the more practical courses where she would put her powers to good use and improve upon them, something that majorly needed done.
