The Academy for Goddesses and Gods discussion

Here is where you get your sweet, cold ice-cream!

Ibiza stopped when she saw the familiar baby blue facade of the shop. "There it is! It's the cutest thing ever. Once, I dyed my hair blue, and I was matching with it and everything," she informed Sterling, pointing at her now pink hair to prove her point.

Ibiza giggled as she pushed open the door to the parlor, and she smiled broadly at the lady who was manning the store at that time.

"Hey Carla! Long time no see. I've got a date to the dance now, just like what you've asked me to do when I texted you that I had entered the academy," Ibiza said quietly, and gestured at Sterling. "If you were wondering, it's this handsome man, not the little pet on his shoulder.." Ibiza told her.

"What flavour would you like? My treat," Ibiza turned around and asked Sterling.

Carla told them that Alfredo could get the half a scoop for free, and handed Ibiza three cups of ice-cream , with Ibiza's as strawberry flavoured. "Honey, it's on the house, enjoy your ice cream with your date," she told the Goddess when Sterling said that he would pay for the ice cream.

Ibiza shook her head, "No we've got to pay you." But Carla had simply denied the money, and told her that she just needed to invite her to their wedding next time. "Carla!!" Ibiza blushed profusely, and awkwardly walked over to Sterling, handing him his ice-cream. "She's always like that, old lady and all," she rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, Carla always likes to plan things only you know, 500 years ahead," Ibiza shot Carla a look, and Carla merely looked back at her and gave a shrug, before adjusting the ice cream machine. Then she leaned in and whispered, "But she does make the best ice creams in the kingdom. I love her for that!"

Ibiza was just about to take a bite of her strawberry ice cream and savour it in all it's glory, but a she felt a sudden disturbance from the ground. She placed her spoon down and furrowed her eyebrows, asking Sterling worriedly, "Did you hear that?"

(( YES the cutest human ever? ))

She wordlessly followed Sterling out, all the joking mood in the parlor disappearing. Ibiza was worried for Carla, for Sterling and even for little Alfredo. As she stepped out, she saw the something was growing from the earth beneath them.

"Idiots," she muttered, and her eyes grew serious. She knew exactly what they were. They were monsters that plagued the Earth, the ones responsible for causing land pollution, for trees to die. They did this by taking the energy of the beautiful life all around them. "Sterling, these are called Typhus, younglings from the original monster Typhon. They come every few years, and they're a real pain to deal with," she told the Sun God.


(( had to like google earth monster names for this to work rip ))

"Yeah, by living underground it has already caused enough damage to the world, but now that it's up and about, it's time for it to go back down," Ibiza said with bitterness lacing her voice.

By this time, the Typhus had already grew to its maximum size, towering over both of them significantly. She was in full on battle mode, as she clasped her hand together to draw the Earth's power. "So you go left, I go right?" and just as she said that, the monster stared attacking Sterling and Ibiza, extending it's rocky arm and attempting to knock them off the ground.

Ibiza jumped out of the way, to the right, and flung her arm out, hurling the earth back at the monster.

(( yah same like ibiza merely hurled the earth back - how lame could that get XD ))

While the Typhus was getting distracted by Sterling and Alfredo, it also knew that it wanted to cause maximum damage. He slammed on the ground hard with his vines covered foot, and that caused roots to grow all over the ice cream's parlor, trapping the people, and most importantly, Carla, inside. In Ibiza's peripheral vision, she saw the roof of the parlor cave in slightly, and she got even angrier.

She motioned her arms towards the ground, and the ground literally grew, lifting her up to face the monster. "Don't hurt my friends, you piece of shit!" she yelled in rage, and threw large stones at his face that was contorted in pain from all the damage he had taken. At the same time, she created a clawing action with her hand and caused roots to grow out from the ground, wrapping themselves around its legs, but even that he pulled away from and he slammed his foot on the ground again, causing Ibiza's platforms to crumble, and leaving her to free fall to the ground, whilst tightening the roots that were growing on the parlor.

"Shit!" she yelled, and at the last moment, managed to create a mini landslide for her to tumble down on, but causing cuts and bruises on her body.

"That tickles Alfredo," Ibiza laughed, as she laid on the ground and looked at the sky. Somehow, even though they had just killed Typhus, the sky looked clearer already. "Thank for killing him, I've always been the one tackling him myself, and he gets stronger every time he returns. Him and his siblings," Ibiza sat up, groaning softly as she felt a sprain in her back.

"We've got to help Carla, I don't think that roof is going to last much longer. But I can't undo his magic, because its akin to killing the earth if I use magic to do so. We have to rip those roots apart physically with other magic," she told Sterling, pointing at the roof whilst gritting through the pain and struggled standing up. "Are you okay?" she had to ask, hoping he was not injured as well.

Ibiza thought about it for awhile, and nodded her head, "That sounds like it will work. Let's do it." She was grateful for Sterling's idea, as it was all natural, and that was what plants liked, what the earth enjoyed.

Wincing a little, she took three breaths and raised up her hands, coaxing them to move towards the sunlight, knowing that Sterling would definitely be able to make the light even stronger. As the plants started to move away from the parlor, she sighed in relief, knowing that at least Carla was safe. "Carla! We're coming to get you, stay put okay! Like under the table!" she hollered into the shop, knowing that Carla could hear her as the door was left ajar when they first went out.

After making sure that Carla was perfectly fine, Ibiza sat down slowly, looking like an old lady with back problems, and ate her ice cream that was untouched. She noticed that Sterling had closed his eyes, reached over to touch his hand gently, rubbing her thumb soothingly across the back of his hand, "Are you injured anywhere? Or are you just tired."

She herself felt exhausted, her magic was also depleted because of both her injuries and the energy she had used to fight the monster. She shuddered upon the thought of Typhus coming back. She knew it was going to be stronger, and she also had to learn to get stronger as an Earth Goddess as well.

"Ah the infirmary, my favourite place on Earth. They'll insert you with all these needles and things, fun!" Ibiza said sarcastically, sighing. But she softened her tone, and looked at him sincerely, "But yeah, I just wanted to thank you for helping me with that idiot. And also for basically saving Carla's life."

(( after your post we skip to the infirmary? ))

Ibiza was about to reject him, because she had been independent all her life, and nodded, thankful that he had offered to carry her, to take off some of the burden on herself. Well, literally at least.

"Thanks Sterling," she said softly, and slowly got up.

(( do you want me to post or your go? :) ))

All right, posted! Sorry for the late reply, busy today.

Hazel trudges in, thinking of Linda. She orders strawberry ice cream with gummy bears in top and tries to remember all the moments and memories with her. She is sad and lonely at the thought that she didnt even say goodbye to Linda

She grabs her food, pays for it, and leaves toward her dorm

(( hey if you'd like, i could rp with you for a short while with my character aeris. ))

Ok.

Where do you wanna meet?

(( double brackets please when out of character! also, i dont mind meeting here, at ice cream parlour))

Hazel walks back in

She is carrying Ally and sets her down

((you here?))

(( yup sorry went to the toilet ))

Aeris had texted Emerson to meet him at the cafe, but she didn't show up and he wondered where she had gone to. However he didn't think very much about that, being sure that she was fine, and went to the ice cream shop, the blue one near the golf course. As he walked by, he could see remnants of the fight that had occurred earlier on, and secretly admired those that managed to win whatever monster.

As he entered, he saw a girl and no one else, and decided, why the hell not, and sent a gush of breeze going her way, trying to catch her attention.

Hazel felt something on her neck and turned around to find a cute guy looking at her. She nervously looked back at him. ((Hi, I'm Hazel))

She gave a little wave and stood up, studying him

(( yeap Emerson was his other friend, that he texted. I didn't mix ya'll up no worries :> ))

"Hey, what's up," Aeris grinned, putting his hand up in a wave. He knew that she was a Goddess as well, because of her aura, and walked over to her after getting his mint chocolate ice cream from Carla at the counter. "Are you going to the Academy too?" Aeris queried, sending breeze at her again, but a gentler one this time.

Hazel smiled and shivered. She hadn't met many boys while she was here, but he seemed nice. She walked up to him. ((Yes. I'm the goddess of Foxes and shapeshifting. You?)

(( when in character remember to use " " instead of double brackets. double brackets is for out of character! ))

"I'm Aeris, the God of Wind. Which clearly explains my wind and breeze blowing at you," the boy smirked at her and did a whole gesture of holding her hand and kissing it gently in a gentlemanly way. "Nice to meet you, Miss Fox." Aeris teased Hazel, and smiled.

((oh i didn't know that!))
Hazel blushes at this and smiles back shyly. "Are you going to the dance? Everyone has been talking about it."

(( yeap! its like books! :) ))

"Yeah, I was supposed to go with this girl, Emerson, but she hasn't replied me for awhile so I'm not sure if we're still going together, or like is she angry at me," Aeris ran a hand through his hair and sighed loudly, blowing hair out of his mouth.

"Are you going then?" he turned the question around to Hazel.

(( also, ive gotta go now. we can continue this when i wake up? :> ))

"Oh. That sounds bad. Least you have a date. Yeah, I'm supposed to go with this guy Chris, but he went missing"
Sidenote: He is ded since Maya was his owner
Hazel wrinkled her nose. "I'm still going, though."

(( last post before i go! ))

"Going alone? Hey, if my date ditches me too, do you want to go with me? As friends?" Aeris asked Hazel in a friendly manner, not in a romantic one at all. It did seem like his situation was going to be the same as hers, because Emerson was just full on not replying him.

Hazel smiles at this nice offer. "Sure thing. See you then if it happens?"

"We should hang out first though, get to know one another and stuff. Starting with, your favourite ice cream flavour," Aeris said, sensing that perhaps she was going to leave him in the ice cream parlor alone or something.

Hazel thought. "I like strawberry ice cream with gummy bears on top best. What about you? I bets something like a chocolate sundae." Hazel smirked, and relaxed into a chair.

"I mean does this look like a chocolate sundae to you?" Aeris raised his cup of chocolate mint ice cream. He shook his head and chuckled, "I actually like chocolate mint. It's really rich but yet light and refreshing."

"Have you gotten clothes for yourself though? For the ball, that is," Aeris asked her.

"Yeah. I had a lot of fun doing it with my friends. I get what you mean about the sundae. Sorry for being so stereotypical." Hazel smiled at him.

(( Hazel can't be in two places at one time! Theoretically if she's here, she should not be at the cafe. In real life, we can't be in McDonalds & KFC at the same time right? ))

"Ah it's fine. I know people who don't like chocolate, and that's like, a sin! How can one not enjoy the decadence of chocolate," Aeris commented about it, and smiled back at her, sending another gust of wind her way.

"I have showed off so much of my powers, show me some of yours!" he asked her, as he finished off his ice cream.

"Hey I have to go, can I talk to you later?" Hazel looked at her phone, and apologizes

Aeris nodded, knowing that she was probably not going to appear at the dance like him as a single man. A girl of her calibre would probably find someone within a day or so. "It's all right, here's my number, text me whenever!" Aeris smiled cheerfully, handing her a piece of paper with his number, slightly disappointed he could not see her in action.

Hazel looked really sorry and accepted it. “I will see you around?”

"Yeah, I will. Go have fun Hazel," he smiled gently at her and sent the wind her way, giving her a slight push towards the exit of the shop.

Another person walked into the ice cream parlor and Aeris looked up, noticing it was someone else who was eating mint chocolate. Smiling to himself, he ordered another cone of the same flavour, and walked towards her. Man, he was really talking to a lot of people that day.

"Hey there," he smiled at the girl.

"I'm Aeris, I guess a friend of Hazel? I'm the God of Air, how about you?" he replied, and snapped his fingers. This time, her ice cream cone levitated and floated in the air, and he gently let it come down back into her hands.

Robin entered the ice cream parlor and looked around for a place to sit. He saw Chrystal, her back was turned to him so he came from behind and gave her a hug

"Right. What do your powers do?" he asked Chrystal. But just as he did, he saw someone enter the ice cream parlour that was headed for their direction. He made a guess that the person was probably Chrystal's boyfriend, and knew his place.

"Anyway, it seems like your boyfriend's here. I'll leave now, nice to meet you though! I'll see you around. I'm Aeris, God of the Air and I gotta go rest, I've been out for awhile." Aeris said to both of them and gave Robin a nice smile, turning around and heading back to the dorm.

"Sorry,' he said, "but you did find company" He turned to Aeris. "Robin, God of the Mind, nice to meet you"

((sorry I have to go forget I was here))
