Courtyard (North)

[Skully-verse]

Zhaneel stopped playing her guitar again. I should get back to classes. she thought, I've missed enough as it is already, and I think it's time to put my old friend back into her musty old case. Thinking for more songs, she got up with her guitar in hand and walked back to the main part of the school.

Suka thought for a few moments, looking into the portal door into the abysss for a few moments before looking back at Karin. Now he had to ask her the question, at the moment he was sure she would refuse though...he told himself he would though so now he had to. "Karin...I wanted to ask you something..." he waited a little longer, and then before he looked up from the ground, as he had moved his eyes in that direction when he stopped speaking, he continued on to asking the question. "I wanted to ask if you would become part Nightmare. One of the main reasons being that I'd be able to teach you a whole lot more, and it would be easier if you were part Nightmare aswell. It's up to you though." Suka thought over the way he'd asked it, and loooked up at her to see if she would reply with the answer he wanted or if she would do the opposite. It was true, he could teach her much more if he could teach her to fight while in the Nightmare Realm...so much more was possible there.

[Sorry, delay... Dx]

Karin tilted her head slightly as she watched him, waiting for him to lead the way to wherever else they may need to go. She thought they had finished though, so she was ready to get back. She blinked as he spoke and focused her gaze on him, waiting for the question that was about to come, and wondering what it would be. She had no idea though, so she didn't bother making a guess. As he actually asked it, her eyes widened slightly for a moment in surprise. She stayed silent for a couple seconds, and then frowned. "I don't... know," she said quietly. She'd already had that tainted blood inside her, and she almost felt like she was losing herself somehow. "...how does it work? What would happen to me?" Just like when talking about the blood, she had questions ready to pour out.

He thought for a few moments, figuring out the right way to explain it to her. "Well..You'll change." That was all he said for at least twenty-five seconds. He gave her plenty of time to ask more questions, or comment on it...even made an expression that almost looked expectant of her to do so. Though he ignored them when(if) they came and continued further explanation. "Gradually you'll feel the change...eventually you'll sprout wings...and along the way your personality will change just slightly. Either you will become more bold or just the opposite...depending on your Nightmare side. You'll grow bolder, for example, if your Nightmare side is very mild in personality." He paused and then continued, attempting to shorten the explanation and end it within his next breath. "You will become like those here, only sometimes though...and it will be completely under your control (with my help). And you will not go through any pain, except for possibly whenever you sprout your wings, which could depend on the size of your wings. All up to you though.." he gasped for breath as he cut it off very abruptly and then breathed silently for a little bit before finally finishing and giving her the same expression he had before.

Karin blinked, hearing his response and waiting for further explanation. Her frown turned to almost confusion when he paused, and she crossed her arms loosely over her chest as she waited. When he continued on finally she simply stared at him, taking it all in slowly and thinking about each bit carefully. Personality change... She really would be losing even more of herself. She shifted anxiously in place and frowned again. "...I don't know.." she repeated again, and bit her lip uncertainly. "Why does.. it matter?" Her first thought was that he really did mind her being a cat, and he'd been planning to do this all along, but she quickly pushed that away. That wasn't it... Or so she kept assuring herself. She sighed as her ears perked towards him, waiting for a answer. If she did, she'd become more like those Nightmares in the Abyss? That seemed a little scary...

[Editted but... not enough to matter. xP]

The Nightmare from waaaay down the row shouted up the hallway loudly. "Nooooo, He-"

Suka cut him off though. "-doesn't feel that you need to change at all." Which wasn't exactly what the Nightmare was gong to say, bbut close enough. Anything that was foreign while here in the Nightmare Realm was very mush so at a disavantag, Suka could hear her thoughts the entire time, but had ignored them as best he could because he could also hear the thoughts of the other Nightmares. He thoguht for a few moments and then answered her. "It doesn't matter...I guess...I would just feel as if I could do more for you if you did. I would definitely be able to better protect you, and additionally I'd be able to help you protect yourself better too. I would apprecieate it deply, but I sad already it was up to you. If you do not want to the nI won't try and convince you to, I just want you to answer me straight, yes or no." he paused. "Part Cat, Part Blood Demon, and Part Nightmare. You will not be affected as deeply as a simple Neko, or Kitsune would. You will not appear to be Nightmare unless somwhere you subconciously would prefer that...though few do I think." he let himself trail off there though, he did not want to overload her with information.

Koji sat under a tree with his headphones listening to random jrock that was cramped up in his mp3 player, his head was down as if he was crying but really he was half asleep. His black hair moved slightly from side to side every now and then as a cool breeze blew over him, he wasnt really tired or sad or anything like that he was just bored as usual having nothing else to do but listen to him music.  

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

Karin jumped slightly, turning to look down the row but then spinning back to face Suka as he cut off the voice. For a moment she just watched him with rather wide eyes. Had he just replied to her thoughts? Her supposedly private thoughts? She turned after a moment and glanced down the hall once more before facing him again. She was somewhat confused as she bowed her head and let out a sigh. Her gaze focused upon the ground now as she chewed her lip a little more, still considering what he was saying. "So I... I'd still look the same?" she asked hesitantly, still looking downwards. This wasn't as easy to decide. Before, about the blood, if she hadn't accepted someone would have died. But now, there weren't high stakes like that, so it was much more difficult.

Koji fell on his side a few minutes after he had fallen into a deep sleep, the fall woke him sure enough as he pushed himself up and yawned. He deep black eyes searched around the area for a moment before he rubbed them trying to releive hismelf of sleep."Ugh how long was I out for." He muttered to himself as he stood up slowly strenching while his headphones played a familiar song.He looked around again for a moment after stretching and began to walk towards the path that led out of the courtyard, he was heading for the library since it was always quiet there, or it should be quiet.

Suka blinked a couple of times. "Not unles you wanted to change...which it doesn't seem like you do, but all things change don't they?" he blinked, starting over. "No, you won't look any different until you changed into your nightmare form. I'm sorry I wasn't clear on that before." HE was sure he had been but there was no way he could be completely satisfied if she did not understand. He was anxious on what her reply to what he said would be but had no idea what to expect since she had not been able to come up with a straight, yes or no, answer so far and he'd said so much already. HE was expecting another question.

Karin continued watching the ground as her ears perked, listening to him. She shifted a bit in place as she considered what he was saying. From what he'd just said, she came up with another question, and somewhat hoped she wasn't bothering him by asking so much. But, she wanted to know all about it before she decided. Nightmares and things... She hadn't really known anything about them until she'd met Suka. She sighed quietly and finally lifted her gaze to look at him. "Nightmare form?" she repeated somewhat quietly. "What happens if I do change into that?"  

[4_yo_info]

"Well...that's all up to you. ike I said you have complete control over when you change. Your Nightmare form is something that usually will be used as a last resort during onflict, but for many reasons you are in control of when you change. That is, whenever I teach youhow to control it you do...You'll even be able to take concious control over it if you'll let me teach you." he thought over what else to say. Really not trying to convince her but wanting an answer soon. "Plus, it'll grow more and more adjusted to the way you live as you do control it more...after I dont't know how long, the Nightmare side of you will no differ much from your Neko form. Nightmares are not demons. Nightmares are not dreams, no they're very very real. They're real...but definitely moldable to your will. You will only benefit from it, 'tis all-only down-side is that it's irreversible until you die."  

[-ProcrastinatingSpazz-]

For some reason, the words 'until you die' rang through Karin's head, but she tried to push it away. Of course it would! That would hopefully be a long time from now. She sighed and bowed her head slightly, biting her lip once more as she thought about it carefully one last time. Could there really be no downside to it then? She shifted uncomfortably in place and then looked up, staring Suka in the eyes. For a couple minutes she was completely silent, running everything through her head one last time. Then she closed her eyes and nodded her head. "Ok," she said simply. She still had her doubts, but she was suddenly very curious as well, and if he were telling the truth, it wouldn't be very bad. Besides, she really wasn't able to protect herself at all unless there was water around, as proven when she'd been attacked by the blood demon. She opened her eyes again after a second or two, glancing back at Suka. She wasn't sure how you actually became a nightmare or whatever though.

Suka ignored the size of the text in the last post that was submitted of thie roleplay and smiled at her answer to his question. "That's good, because you were already in the abyss..." but he didn't explain anything further anhe just came closer and hugged her. Now her eyes were still gold, but when they returned back to the living realm they would already have turned purple for at least the first half an hour or so. He looked aroudnd and grabbed her hand after hugging her. He dragged her into the door that was on the side of the wall that the female Nightmare from before was caged at. It was the throne room, all of the dors led there. He smiled after that though, "This is the last place I wanted to show you. It's my throne room...how do you like it?" he hoped she would and at the same time just wanted to get back to the living realm. After her reply he would sentd them back...it would be...interesting.

[Size? Of your last post? >>;;]
Karin blinked uncertainly at his response, her head tilting in confusion. She actually jumped slightly in surprise as he suddenly hugged her, eyes somewhat wide as she blinked a couple more times. A very faint pink slowly spread across her cheeks. Then, before she'd recovered enough to react, she was being dragged into a room. She saw him smile and then gazed around the room as he began talking again. His throne room? She glanced around a bit more, and then glanced back at him, smiling back now. "It's nice," she said with a small laugh. She'd never really seen a throne room before, but it seemed a couple people here had throne's around here.
