Courtyard (North)

Sapphire smiled. "You know that makes sense and I should of known that." She laughed a little. After Baeli answered about her teeth, Sapphire just stared at them. How does a vampire not feed on humans? She actually thought to herself, for once.

She felt Krieg's feelings go off the chart. She looked over to see him bow his head in embarrassment and laughed to not be the only one to do it. She hit him with her knee to get his attention and when he looked up she smiled and mouthed " Don't worry about it." She smiled back.

She looked up at Baeli, "So what's your favorite animal? I hear deer's the cow."

((OOC: Sorry for the extra short post. I'm at work lol ))  

[Annamarie Valenton]

Baeli, for once, was not smiling. This time, she looked rather confused. "My favorite... animal?" she asked, the confused look not leaving her face. Why would this girl be asking her what her favorite animal was? But then she understood. "Oh, you mean to... ah... well... do vampire things on?" Baeli was not extremely comfortable with saying "suck blood from". It seemed much too harsh and, well, frankly, she was afraid it might scare humans away. "I don't really think I have a favorite. Just any animal that's available, I guess. Well, excluding pets, of course." Baeli was now wishing that she had not shown her fangs in the first place, for this was leading to a slightly uncomfortable conversation.

Ooc| Don't worry, my posts aren't all that long either sweatdrop  

[Spinerella91]

Sapphire noticed how uncomfortable she was nd shifted in her seat. "Sorry didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." She tried smiling reassuringly. "It's jsut that back home, well back last private school. I knew some vampire's in the surronding towns, it's werid I know, but their history intrigues me. A few of them ate animals and they freely talked about it." Sapphire admitted quietly.

(OCC: Okay good cause I'm still at work. lol))  

[xXCuratorAngelusXx]

Kreig could feel the tension in the conversation rising again. He thought fast, looking for a way out of the awkward situation. Magic tricks, duh! Kreig thought happily to himself. His bright grin once again stretched across his face. "So Baeli, have you ever seen a magic trick before?"

He didn't hesitate for an answer, instead he pulled out his acceptance sheet forms. With a smirk Kreig promptly ripped the multiple pieces of paper in half. He spoke as he repeated the process multiple times, "You see, I'm not really ripping these in half. It's just a fun trick we magician use. Instead I'm folding the paper and making a ripping sound with my teeth." He ripped the pile in half again, "See? Now, when i unfold all the sheets...." Kreig then set himself to unfolding the supposed pile of torn paper. However, when he lost his grip on the paper, and the pieces of the torn paper fluttered to the ground in a chaotic mess. Kreig's face turned pale, and he bent to pick up the remnants of his acceptance forms. As he scooped up the last of the pieces, Kreig shoved them into his back pocket.

Abruptly his bright smile returned, and the color returned to his dismayed face. "Now for the real magic." He said confidently. With that being said Kreig reached over to one of Baeli's pockets and pulled on a corner of a sheet of paper that barely poked over the edge of the pocket. Kreig briefly noticed that the patterns under his skin flashed as he pulled out the paper, but he dismissed the thought.

As Kreig held up the paper, it could clearly be seen that that sheet was indeed a pice to his acceptance form, as his picture and name were placed at the top. With another quick grin Kreig reached into one of Sapphire's pockets, producing yet another acceptance sheet. Kreig continued to pull acceptance sheets from various pockets on both girls until the form was complete once more. With a satisfied nod Kreig folded the papers and stuffed them into his pocket, bowing slightly.  

[Spinerella91]

Sapphire smiled at how confident he got. "That is true magick." She smiled. She was shocked how comfortable she was at this moment. Normal she was a Nervous Nancy. It's Krieg, she thought. She really never found anyone she was comfortable to share her powers with and it made her feel comfortable, which was werid.

While laughing at herself, Sapphire looked up and said: "Now that's a trick you have to show me."  

[Annamarie Valenton]

Ooc| I'm lazy, so Izabel, the demon in Baeli's head, will be speaking in English. We can just pretend it's in Portuguese, lol

Bic| "A magician, hm? Well. Well, well, well. Won't it be fun killing this one!" the voice spoke again. Baeli was now developing an overwhelming urge to crumple to the ground with her arms over her head, as she has seen her cousin do many times. However, Baeli knew that that would be extremely strange and forced herself to sit and wait through the headaches that always came with Izabel.

Baeli laughed. "Very interesting!" she said excitedly. "I did not know you were a magician. That was amazing!" However, Baeli wished that Krieg hadn't shown that magic trick to them; for, the more Izabel knew about Krieg or Sapphire, the easier it would be for Izabel to take control of Baeli and kill one or both of them.  

[xXCuratorAngelusXx]

Kreig chuckled slightly, letting the tension of the moment slip away to almost nothing. However, Kreig could feel a struggle, he looked to Baeli, who was tense with pain, trying to hide it. She seemed distracted, as if conversing with something or someone else. Kreig, however, did not want to let the moment slip away, so he let the unusual feelings pass, trying to support the relaxed feeling in the group.

With another big grin Kreig looked to Baeli, drawing a card from inside his vest. "Why thank you, I also do parties, birthday's weddings, fundraisers..." With a snap of his wrist Kreig launched the card to Baeli. The card spiraled quickly towards Baeli, but at the last moment the card simply vanished without a trace. In mock surprise Kreig said, "Well that was my business card."  

[Spinerella91]

"You should have more of those." Sapphire chuckled lightly. Sapphire still felt the tension she had created. She felt kind of bad, but she was nervous being around all these people. "So do you have any more tricks up your sleeve?"

Sapphire was more than half stuck in thought. She was sifting through the past's of people around her. She wound up on Baeli and their was something erie about her past that mad here shudder and move on, but Sapphire couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right.  

[Annamarie Valenton]

Baeli nearly jumped out of her skin as the business card suddenly flew toward her and, just as quickly as it had come, disappeard. "What the hell..." her voice trailed off. Kreig was turning out to be very... interesting. Too interesting, in fact. If Izabel chose to attack anyone, it would be Kreig. And this, thought Baeli, (In Portuguese, of course) is why I mainly choose not to make friends. Stupid Eruthian junk... But, instead of showing her anger toward herself and the demon, Baeli smiled yet again.

"So, do you have any more tricks up your sleeve?" Sapphire asked.

"Why, yes, Sapphire, I'm sure he does," Baeli laughed in reply.  

[xXCuratorAngelusXx]

Kreig simply grinned in reply, it was clear to see this is the moment he lived for. With his attention still focused on his waiting audience of two, Kreig rolled up his sleeves, making sure they saw nothing was hidden anywhere. "I'm afraid, Sapphire, I don't have anything up my sleeves--" Kreig stopped, a confused look playing across his face. He reached up into his sleeve, and he pulled out another 'business card'. The trick would have been simply pathetic, were it not for the fact the card he pulled was on fire. With a slight yelp Kreig let go of the burning card, and it fell slowly to the ground in a heap of smoldering ashes.

He looked up sheepishly at Sapphire and said apologetically, "Nothing up my sleeves, other than that." He corrected. Once again he rolled up his sleeve, making sure once again they knew there was nothing to be hidden. When he was sure they knew nothing could possibly appear now, he cupped both hands into a ball, like a child holding a bug. When he opened his hands, a spotted egg emerged, a falcon's egg, to be exact. Kreig smiled, and deftly said, "Marvelous isn't it?"

What came next was sure to get a reaction out of one of the girls, he assumed. With a grand smile still lighting his face, Kreig tossed the egg high into the air behind his back. After a moment one would expect gravity to begin it's gruesome work on the helpless egg, but such a person would be wrong. The egg never fell, for it had disappeared, much in the same way his card had.

However, Kreig's trick had not yet been completed. Kreig grinned, and when both girl's attention was refocused on him, he produced Sapphire's purse from behind his back. Before she could object he hastily added, "Don't worry, my tricks don't involve stealing. I promise nothing will be touched, it would be horribly rude of me to do such a vile thing." Before another word could be spoken, Kreig opened the purse, taking care not to look into it for fear of intruding on Sapphire's personal belongings. However, he instead reached into the purse, and pulled something small and gray out in his hand. Instead of something one might normally find in a purse, what Kreig had pulled out was completely out of the ordinary. When Kreig opened his hand, the small form of a baby hawk became clearly recognizable. With his free hand Kreig returned the purse to Sapphire, still taking care not to look into it. He held out the small bird for both girls to see in his open palm.  

[Spinerella91]

"Since now I don't trust your sleeves." Sapphire smiled. You could tell she was tense about something and trying hard to cover it. Sapphire took her purse back with a smile and put it back at her feet with her leg through to strap, saftey percautions.

"You know, you look to be all in your glory with these tricks." Sapphire smiled tentavily (spell check?). "So what else can you do?" She was egging hi mon because he made the awkward feeling from Baeli go away and her erie feeling hid itself easier. So, she figured it'd be a good idea to let him go.

"... And this is why the mortal realm amuses me."

She didn't say it like an insult. However, she didn't hold out her hand for a handshake. Regalia did not like to touch people that have been lying in the dirt and dust. She was a clean, daintly lady and could not be seen associating so intimately with those that appeared -- not pont-factual -- to be lowly. Her bow was, nonetheless, as respectful as it was ever going to get from her, a bend at 45 degrees and no further. Her skirts rustled softly when she rose from the bench to perform the maneuver. When she lifted from the pose, the silks whispered her actions once again.

Stealth didn't seem like her forte; not with that get-up.

"The pleasure is mine."

Perhaps his greeting of 'how's it goin'?' was the equivalent in some notation or another. Regulus wasn't being unfriendly by any means. All she was... was a stranger to the ways. Everything from the way she spoke to the way she acted was so regal that she couldn't have been anything less than a pharaoh of Egypt, half god and half king.

Once upon a time, she had been a god among gods; a queen among queens; a noble among nobles.

And now she was simply a noble among nobles. Her power status was sealed away and she herself was confined into this human-shaped vessel. Despite her prison was exquisitely beautiful, she was not satisfied. She had been far more 'beautiful,' in her opinion, as her former self. The war-like redkite of her past magnificence, how the feathers have grayed to the plumage of a harmless dove...

Even now, as she smiled at Sendo, she raged silently and undetectably inside. The ritual wasn't anything she hadn't seen before. It actually moved her more that they did this in the broad open. Such an odd academy this was... this Ria.  

[ginseku]

Sendo pulled his ashy gray hand back almost reluctantly, watching her bow.
"Well...That's a bit different than I'm used to.."
Sendo, not trying to be rude in his indecent state, made a small bow of his own.
"I'm Sendo Kemuri."
Redirecting his attention to Kirai shortly after,
"Alright, so do you know how I ended up here? My head is pounding like a bell right now and I can't remember much of anything."

Kirai became slightly on edge when asked so suddenly about how his friend had come to be here.
"I'mmmmmmmm.......Not really sure, to be honest. I've been junkin around the training rooms alot recently...So i've been losing track of days myself."
It was true; a few days prior to meeting Regalia, he'd been doing a 24-hour meditation lockdown. He faced a massive stone labyrinth for a whole day, fighting hordes and clusters of demons that ambushed him at every turn and dead-end.
Unfortunately, he encountered one of his stronger summons, tenfold; the Steel golem.
That set him back a few hours, and caused the lockdown he was in to reset; the walls shifted like a co-ordinated machine and he was back where he began.
"All I know is that i caught a whiff of your scent and I found it odd that you would be here in Ria."
"So this is Ria, then? It seemed familiar, it's just that Tenshi's courtyard is modeled similarly...
"Yeah. So, what, do you wanna go see about getting some new clothes? Those don't seem...to fit."
Kirai made a strange face to play on the fact that Sendo's clothes were not his own; but only to further the lie.

Ooc| Sorry for the wait! My school schedule is horrific. Normally school would be from 9 to 4:30 for me, but I'm on swim team, so it's 7:30 to 4:30. *headdesk*

Bic| Feeling that Izabel was going to show herself any moment, Baeli realized that she must hurry away. "I am very sorry," she said quickly, "but I... I must go now. Ah... perhaps I will see you later, no?" The headache she was receiving from her demon was practically unbearable. Without waiting for a response from her new friends, Baeli abruptly stood up and walked away, clutching at her head. What she needed right now was rest. Yes, that was it: rest. She needed to lay down and sleep for a while, and when she woke up, everything would be better. Baeli found her way to the teleporter to the dorms, and quickly left to find a room.  

[xXCuratorAngelusXx]

Kreig grinned slyly as he noticced what Sapphire had done to guard her purse. He paid no mind to the lingering whisps of tension that floated in the air, he was having too much fun with his preformance to care.

However, when Baeli suddenly got up and left his mood did change. The bright smile and warm attitude he had once possessed left as suddenly as Baeli had. A dissapointed frown took over his face, and Kreig's hand absently slipped into his pockets. His posture decompressed from it's original grand and confident pose. He half mumbled, "Must be some headache..." He turned to Sapphire, searching for an answer. When he found none he asked bluntly, "Should we follow --" Kreig stopped himself short.

Suddenly Kreig's face went pale, and his hand flew out of his pocket, to his horrific surprise, his family ring wasn't on his right hand anymore. He worriedly rubbed his finger, as if by doing so it would magically appear. In his mind he retraced his steps, I had it coming to the gates, I remember rubbing it coming in the gates... Also when I finished up with that android... Oh Christ! I left it on the table when I looked at the maps! Kreig you are an IDIOT!!

With a hint of anger creeping into his voice, Kreig said, "Come, I need to get something from the gate area." Without waiting for a reply, Kreig ran off towards the gates, still rubbing his incomplete finger.
