Etheral Academy discussion

Here is where there are rows of plants. From dandelions to roses, bluebonnets to sunflowers. Later in the year, Etheral plants will be added. Keep care of them, or the Earth Etherals have found themselves enemies.

Caitlyn is wondering around in her domain, when she sees a lonely girl. She walks over and sits next to her.
"Hello there." her British accent shows.

"Am I bothering you?"
She tilts her head.

Caitlyn holds out her hand
"Caitlyn Drenar, nice to meet ya."

Caitlyn smiles a very warm smile.

((no I'm dead))

Caitlyn is confuzzled.
"Say what?"

Caitlin widens her eyes.
"really?! that's new!"

Caitlin smiles at her.
"ok"

"Do you have rock candy?"

Caitlyn takes the rock candy.
"Thanks!" Then she hears her next question. She puts her hand over a flower, and its stem curls around her wrist.
"Earth. you?"

Caitlyn giggles.
"That's cool. If I had levitation, man, I would be on top of the school reading!"

Caitlyn laughs.
"That's awesome, but I feel bad. how old were you?"

Caitlyn giggles.

((sorry got real busy))

Caitlyn stops giggling.
"Was it fun?"

Caitlyn tilts her head.
"Why don't you know?"

Caitlyn is shocked
"Is that possible? You need to go the Infirmary to get that checked out!"

Caitlyn puts up her hands defensively.
"Alright alright alright!"
She laughs

((intriguing))
"Whatever really."

Caitlyn jumps in excitement.
"Yes!"


((what do you mean?))

((no, not that. What do you mean by 'show me?'))

((so I pull up a picture?))

((if so, let me grab my computer))

((mk))

((lol um yes))

Kuro sighs audibly and leans back on the bench. "This garden is so boring. I can't believe Masato is making me stay here..."

(it's fine XD. also sorry my reply is late)
"Well, I'm not. What's so great about gardens, anyway? They're just a bunch of boring plants," Kuro scoffs. "I wanna freeze them all."

"Better. I don't really remember what happened... Masato won't tell me. He said it would upset me or something..." Kuro shrugs. "My hand hurts a LOT, though. Masato said it was 3rd degree burns... He said Rose didn't give me them... so who did? Whatever, it doesn't matter."

"While I was holding it..." he quietly repeated to himself under his breath. "Masato made me stay here. He's off going to find something. He said that the plants would calm me. And to try and stay calm. He doesn't want me to go psycho again without him here..."

"I'll do my best. Just try not to rile me up, please. Once I get going, it's almost impossible for me to stop..." Kuro says. "Also, no bleeding. That gets me riled up too."

"Well, sarcasm doesn't really rile me up. Just... Brashness. Or rudeness. That does. And fire. And dogs," he lists. "A lot of things rile me up... But some things just make me excited... Not good excited, dangerous excited. Like blood. Or people in pain sometimes. Oh, and my brother. We get into all sorts of trouble together."

Kuro watches her in silence with what looks like fascination. "Long hair..." he mutters, as if it's some alien thing to him. Kuro quickly changed tones and talks bluntly again. "Why do girls have long hair? They always complain about it, but keep it long."

"Because we're too lazy to take care of long hair," he says, watching her hair intently. "Is it... Naturally white?"

Kuro smiles and meets her gaze. "I wish I could make such delicate flurries..." He looks down at the gloves and the smile disappears. "All I can do is hurt people with mine... but I guess that suits me..."

Kuro looks at her uneasily, then down at his hands, and then back up at her. "Uh, what are you going to do?..."

"No," he says immediately. "I'm not kidding, I literally can't control it anymore. I tried with Masato. I don't want to hurt you..."

He looks scared. “I... I’m.... I’m sorry, I don’t think I can-“ He abruptly pulls away and walks quickly over to a random plant, pretending to be interested in it.

"I-It's nothing personal on you. It was nice of you to offer. I just don't want to," Kuro says quickly and bluntly. He doesn't look up from the plant.

"I was apologizing." He pauses. "And you do care. It's a bit obvious." He reaches out and pokes the plant.

"No! Stay here please!" Kuro says quickly. His cheeks flush a bit. "Ignore that... I mean leave if you want."

"W-what do you think, idiot?" Kuro says. He suddenly felt the need to get defensive for some reason. His blush gets a bit darker. "I...I... With someone else here, I'm less likely to go crazy, that's all! And who'd I talk to? I don't want to be alone. Obviously." He huffs and sits down on the bench. "It's n-not like I like you or anything, OK?"

(that last sentence is literally so tsundere I'm laughing at myself)

He looks down, his face turning redder. "I mean, I don't hate you.. I like you- But not like that! Not like-like you, j-just like. You kn-know? Plus, everyone else likes you too."

Masato marches in. "Yo, Kuro-" He freezes in his tracks. "Nice. You've kept him calm, Lizzy, that's amazing!"

Kuro'a head snaps up to look at Masato. "Oh, hey."

Masato looks back and forth between the two. "Wait, no way..."

Kuro immediately senses what his friend is thinking and his face turns red. "Shut up, don't you dare say it! Don't repeat what happened last time, Masato!"

"Mhmm," Masato says as he winks.
Kuro's entire face is red. "Shuddup, idiot."

“Why don’t you stay?” he says, catching her sleeve. “You should stay.”
“I can go walk around for a moment if you guys would like,” Masato says, laughing. “I didn’t mean to ruin the moment you guys were having.” He salutes and trots off to a different part of the garden.

“Oh! Hey, Rose. Yep! He’s doing great, actually," Masato chirps. He turns to Kuro and winks. "You two have fun."

Kuro blushes more. "Whatever," he growls.

(sorry i was like an hour late oops)

"No. Thank God he isn't..." Kuro says with a sigh. "Only when he's in the mood to tease me."

"Yes. I love it here," Kuro says. "It's so much better than living with my awful parents or by myself. I like it a lot. How about you?"

Masato laughs. "I know, right? Me too. He needs someone to love like that and to love him like that in return."

Masato laughs with her. "It's funny, isn't it? He's actually a pretty great guy."

"Uh, sure?" Kuro responds. "What do you have in mind?"
