Courtyard (North)

[Outlaw_elf]

Taqune smiled,"Well I met Joy, she was nice. Umm... Well just staying in my tree for the most part. Oh that reminds me welcome to my room!" Taqune smiled to her and gave her the vana white pose."Its where I live for the most part I don't have a dorm."Taqune sat on the tree branch like balance was nothing. It was ovious he was very good at this kind of things.  

[Acryn]

Ailis laughed and looked around.
"Tis a nice place you got here, all open and airy, nice light."
She smiled brightly at Taqune, so far the only one she has come to make friends with here. She pulled her hair up into a loose bun and leaned back against the trunk of the tree, relishing the dappeled sunlight.
"Joy...was she one of the ones in the group of people that was here in the courtyard? I didn't really pay any attention...I usually don't. I get focused on one thing and everything else surrounding fades out."
Ailis tilted her head up and stared through the leaves and branches above her.

((I am incredibly tired...sleep for me, work tomorrow and an office party *sigh* should be fun stare Ciao till later!))  

[Outlaw_elf]

Taqune watched as Ailis drifted off he jumped down from the tree and went back to walking around the courtyard. He was happy that she had found a friend in him, and it helped him ease his pain from Galea. Taqune sat back down on the fountain and watched Joy from where he was.  

[Acryn]

Ailis watched Taqune wander off. She relished in the warmth of the day for a while, and then a little bit bored, she moved up the branch and fell backward. Her legs hooked over the branch and her hair tumbled out of the bun it was in. Hanging like that for a few minutes, Ailis then grabbed the branch with her hands and dropped her legs, then swung back up onto it and sat like she was before.
She smiled to herself and kicked her legs back and forth. She could be pretty balanced herself, if she tried.  

[Outlaw_elf]

Taqune's ear heard Ailis move in the tree he smiled realizing what she was doing. He turned his head to the tree in time to see her hair all from its bun. He chuckled seeing as she wasn't that bad with balance herself. Taqune then turned back, his head resting on the fountains edge. His ears listen to the sound of the water and the chirping birds.

((be back in about 3 hours I have finals and a doctors appointment))  

[Taerl]

Kat was sitting on a bench again, her face to the sky and her hands folded neatly in her lap. She was obviously thinking deeply about something as she stayed eeriely silent for a long time, the only movements she had was the rising and falling of her chest as she breathed in a normal rythm and the odd moments when she blinked.
She finally stopped staring at the sky and looked around the courtyard, her fring falling over her right eye as it usually did with the sudden movement and a sigh escaped her.
Why am I here? She wondered, keeping her silence before standing up, her bag falling to her waist again as she considered going back to her dorm instead of sitting out in the snow.  

[Acryn]

Ailis sighed and looked over toward the fountain and saw Taqune sitting with his head reasting on the low fountain wall. She smiled to herself and watched him.
He looks so peaceful. Wish I could just...be at peace with everything.
She lowered her eyes and a sorrowful expression passed over her face. Turning, she laid down on the branch and played with a few leaves, but because of the mood she was in, they only rotted and went brown in her hands. One by one she let them fall and flutter to the ground.  

[Magus_sista]

Erika walked queitly within the shadows of the courtyard, her eyes watching everyone doign their own thing and minding their own business. She found it quite relazing to see others so at peace, it was quite a change from her usual situations and one she would welcome happily.
Raising her right her arm, were a thick black was set with long curved metalic claws she let out and eerie whistle as she called for black feathered friend 'Raven'.
I wonder where he has dissappeared to this time. He hasn't left me for this length of time before. He must be busy..stupid bird
After the eerie whistle Raven had made no signs of returning to her at all and this frustrated her even more so much so that actually called out loudly for him.
"RAVEN you stupid bird get back here"
She hated it when he left, he was companion for as long as she could remember and was not about to let that end here, just because she entered a new place...no way.

((*Blink* Acryn...*huggles* hiya))  

[Acryn]

((Hey Magus, lol. *huggles back* I know I said I was done with RPing but then I got the urge again and Ria looked really good. Couldn't help myself sweatdrop Plus I'm too far out of the loop now to RP in Shards. Ah well.))  

[Oni_Makibi]

It wasnt until they had entered the courtyard that Oni realized something...

"Itoko-kun, how would we expect anyone here to know anything about this situation, Ria High is nowhere near our home..."
"The creatures said they needed beings with power, and these students have power...a lot of it. Even if we can't give them any details, we can at least warn them of what's to come."
"Alright, but....who to ask first?"
"A good place to start is anywhere. Just go for it the first person you see."
"...Easy for you to say..." Oni said as she made her way to the girl sitting in a tree. "Do you happen to have a moment of your time to spare?"  

[Acryn]

Ailis looked down at the girl who spoke to her. She sat up on the tree branch and looked a little confused.
"Uh..well, sure. Be down in a second."
She then started climbing down the tree until she reached the bottom and leaned her back up against it. She placed her hands in the pockets of her jeans.
"Hello."  

[Oni_Makibi]

"Has anything weird been going on lately? Missing students, anything like that?' Oni wasn't sure if that was the correct way to ask the question, but she did ask what she wanted to know. "My cousin, Oni showed the girl the panda plush she carried with her, "was attacked by creatures that said they were looking for beings with power, and from the looks of it, they'll take you whether you're conscious or not..." Oni set Tetsuo onto the ground "Have you heard anything at all?" he said in a squeaky voice.  

[Acryn]

"Anything weird?"
Ailis listened to the rest of what they had to say while managing not to openly stare at the panda plush that talked, and thought for a moment.
"I haven't seen anything...I'm new here. But creatures that want beings of power? Sounds serious. Wish I could help. If I hear or see anything I'll let you know."
Ailis smiled and pushed off the tree, then started walking toward the fountain. Well, I sure hope those things, whatever they are, don't bloody well come after me.
She sat down on the small wall surrounding the fountain and watched the water.  

[Taerl]

Kat sighed, she was so bored and she knew if she stood still long enough she would turn into a snow-woman just without a carrot nose.
Where to go? She thought, running a hand through her hair which made the fring that usually covered her right eye move out of the way before falling in place again. I did hear there was a library, could go and see if it has any interesting book...
She looked around the courtyard quickly, she had no idea how to get to the library but asking for directions seemed like a good idea.
Then she had the problem of who to ask.
She spotted someone sitting by the fountain and decided it's better than standing around and looking like a leamon. She walked over to the girl as casually as she could though her shyness was kicking in pretty fast nad gave the girl a small wave.
"Hi, er... sorry to bother you but, do you know how to get to the library?" Kat asked shyly, smiling sweetly.  

[Acryn]

Ailis turned to the sound of someone speaking to her. Wow, a lot of people coming up to me today.
"Hm? The library? I could take a guess where it is but I would probably be wrong, heh." She laughed a little and then bit her lip.
"I'm new here to the school, I don't know where much is yet."
She brushed the snow out of her pale blue hair and looked around.
"Has to be one of these big buildings. If Taqune were around he could tell you but I don't know where he want off to. Sorry I couldn't help."
She smiled a little shyly up at the girl and shrugged. Sooner or later she had to figure this place out herself.
