ᴀʀᴇɴᴅᴇʟʟᴇ ᴀᴋᴀᴅᴇᴍɪ ᴀᴠ ᴍᴀɢɪ ➸ advanced roleplay discussion

Tokiko wandered around the interior of the dilapidated castle for a long time before managing to find herself outside. She breathed a sigh of relief as she moved to be in the suns warm embrace. "I thought I'd be lost in there forever." she muttered to herself, then laughed. It was easier to think of things in a positive light than it was to think of why she was where she was. She bit her lip as she wondered how her family was doing. It probably wasn't easy without her, since she had contributed a lot when she was with them.

She shook her head. If she started to focus on them, she would start to get sad and that was the last thing she needed. What she really needed was to figure out a way to control and conceal her powers so she could sneak out of here and back to her family. That was her goal in the end, really. Not completely conceal as in never use, mind you, as the end result of that would be bad. Holding in her power and never using it, to her, was the same thing as preventing herself from using the bathroom; its gonna get out whether you want to or not.

Alodia went outside, she hated the sun and it was shining high today, sun was unbearable to her maybe because the sun, heat was the opposition to her power or maybe because of the countless bad things that had happened to her in broad daylight, she didn't care the reason and didn't want to know the reason all she knows is that she hated the sun.

She walked around looking at the ruins of the courtyard, she was completely drenched up in sweat when she reached the middle of the courtyard and she hadn't even been here for more than three minute, another reason to hate the sun she thought.
Looking around she noticed a girl seeming comfortable in the sun, she didn't like showing her discomfort as she had discovered in life showing discomfort just made you a target, so she straightened up and glared hard at the girl seeming to say back off.

Tokiko moved to sit on one of the fallen piles of rubble from the castle, her fingers moving absently over the rock as she felt the texture of it against her hands. Her eyes wandered the courtyard absently before landing on a girl who was glaring at her for no reason. Tokiko's brow quirked as she wondered who peed in her porridge to make her grumpy enough to glare at someone they hadn't met or spoken to. She shrugged, not dwelling on it. If she was angry at the world, it was of no matter to Tokiko, after all. She didn't generally place herself in the way of others to inconvenience them, nor did she generally associate with people with bad tempers.

She lifted a hand after a moment to brush her hair out of her face and adjust her long, flowing skirt. A crown of flowers was in her hair that she had made when she was bored and passed by some flowers, and she adjusted it carefully to make sure it didn't fall off before her gaze returned to taking in the rest of the courtyard she found herself in.

Alodia watched the girl with something similar to hate, she didn't necessarily hate the girl she just hated what she stood for. All of her life she been compared to girls like her, with their pretty smile and carefree attitude, fooling those around them. Her heart clenched and beat faster thinking of her sister and father, thinking of the whispers and looks she gets when they think she's not looking, thinking of the last comment Gabriel made "You're a sadist and in need of help, I just can't" the thought made her furious and reckless she could feel the dark claws of her anger wrapping and whispering to her.

Without any more thought and with a maniacal smile she stretched her hand an let her ice wrap around the plants the girl touched, strangling them even her ice was beginning to curl around the one on her head, she wasn't in control anymore.

Tokiko yelped and threw the crown off her head immediately, her gaze going to Alodia. What was this girls problem?! She hadn't even done anything! She moved away from the ice, then stared at the girl and said, "I'm going to go tell the headmaster on you for attacking a student without provocation." and turned to leave. There had been no reason for the attack and while she knew things were a bit tense after the attack at the other school, that didn't mean they should all turn on one another and start attacking each other, especially for no reason.

Alodia blinked coming back to herself, she saw the girl looking at her with anger, she looked around at what she had done horrified she looked at the frozen plants beautiful and twisted, if she could kill a plant without even the thought what would she have done if the girl didn't react fast but the words ringing in her ear was am going to tell the headmaster.

That wasn't good, that was so not good on many levels, she didn't have a good record and didn't want to get kicked out. She could just imagine her father face and the villagers expression when they hear about it, she began to panic, "wait" she called out weakly seeing the set expression on the girls face.

((she's not angry nor is she looking at her angry, jsyk. If anything she would be looking at her scared))

Tokiko paused in her leaving of the courtyard to look back at her. "Why should I wait? You just attacked another student without provocation. I know we aren't at the old school but the rules certainly do not allow you to do that. And I don't want excuses to try and make me not go tell. If you have a really good reason, not an excuse, then I won't." she turned to face Alodia, giving her the chance to 'plead her case' so to speak.

((Okay, mistake let's put at scared))

((its fine and okay))

She was surprised the girl stopped, and now as the girl waited for her to speak she didn't know how to tell her. She started opening her mouth but faltered, how did you tell someone that you feel a darkness growing in you, that speaks to you without sounding evil, or that sometimes you feel a urge and lose control at times, even she knew that people here could handle some shit but she didn't think she'll get a pat in the back and an advise for a therapist. More likely they'll throw her out not just out of school but out of the kingdom.

She stared at the girl an said honestly "Even though I tell you the reason, you wouldn't believe me. She paused and if you believe me my life would be over in minutes if not in seconds" not caring what happen anymore, life sucks not matter way you look at it.

Tokiko looked confused. She didn't really understand what the girl meant. "What.....what do you mean? I don't understand. What do you mean if I do believe you your life would be over? That doesn't make sense to me." she said finally, leaning against a wall after a moment. "Either there's something going on or your pulling my leg. I don't do riddles or anything just tell me plain what's up."

"I don't do riddles either seems like we have something in common after all, she said rudely. Okay you want to know plainly, I'll tell you she said trying to sound indifferent, am evil she blurted out". Okay she was surprised at herself, she wasn't expecting that to come out especially when it sounded weak and pitiful like her father would say but she was tired, tired of everything. She didn't care anymore so she looked at the girl daring her with her eyes.

((please don't forget to put the quotations "" around the dialogue. Its hard to discern where the speaking ends and the other stuff begins))

Tokiko quirked a brow. "Uh-huh....you're evil." she said, not believing her. "You may be rude, and maybe have a short temper or something, but that doesn't make you evil." she pointed out, still looking at her. While she generally didn't do much in the way of start a fuss or cause problems, it didn't mean she was a pushover. She was a good worker on the farm because she wasn't a pushover after all. And while she wouldn't use her powers against this girl unless she had no choice, that didn't mean she was weak either. "So, is that you're 'real reason' for attacking me? Cause I don't believe it. You don't even put off that 'evil' aura bad guys have, you just are kinda rude."

((Oh sure))

She was at loss for words, she looked surprised at the girls word, she wouldn't admit it out loud but it touched her something soft was finding a way in the black hole she called her heart. Nobody had ever said something that nice to her even though the girl called we rude but she shoved the thought away. She quirked an eyebrow when she said 'evil aura bad guys have'
"Will you believe that, that's the nicest thing someone have said to me in years."

((^_^ thank you))

Tokiko tilted her head to the side. "Well.....if you act like you did to me with everyone, probably." she said finally with a shrug. She bent down to pluck a blade of grass from the earth and twirl it absently between her fingers. She wondered just what was up with this girl. She seemed....unstable, to put it mildly. Going from attacking to tame and relatively reasonable. She didn't get it, but figured it wasn't her place to learn and left things at what they were.
