 ~Akira Spade~╔═════════════════════════════════════╗Where at: Intersection. With: Students Thoughts: Seven? I've got a little bit of time left.╚═════════════════════════════════════╝((OOC; Shorty filler, he'll approach in another post.))"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..." As Akira left the classroom, his cell phone recieved a message, which was to say the least, unusual. He rarely used it at all, and whenever he did it was only for phone calls. This message was from Roi, so it wasn't as surprising. "Arcane Tower, at seven. Guess I'll find out the movie there." He checked the time, before determining his position and distance to the tower. It wouldn't take him long to walk there and it wasn't near seven, so he decided to make his way back to his room to place his bag and papers at his desk for later. It would be odd to do grading while watching a movie after all. While he was there, he'd also get some of the extra dirt off his jacket, which was a common theme for him. "Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."

☢ Roizana of Arcane ☢ "He actually came?" ✥-━┈┈━-✥
〖Roi relaxed on the bench. She checked the time and realized how early she truly was. Then again she was a patient one. Her mind drifted to the idea of the so called elemental dragons. They were not just typical ones from myth. They were recorded to be fairly large, with the sea dragon as big as a blue whale and the earth dragon said to be nearly four hundred feet long. Yet each note on them said they were friendly...besides the fire dragon who was said to be the one that caused the volcano to erupt over Pompeii. But each one sounded more than intelligent enough to share wisdom and then some.
Her reading was disrupted when a man from overseas came up. "Pardon me, miss. I am looking for the head mistress. Do you know where she is?" the man obviously had no idea it was her due to her change in color and style of hair. "That would be me. Is there something I can do for you?" Roi asked as politely as ever. The man was shocked! "O-oh my! I didn't know you changed your hair...You look so...young." he complimented as Roi nearly blushed.
"I came to deliver this." the man took out a book for Roi and handed it to her. It was...oddly enough a cook book. "Oh! I've been waiting for this! Thank you." and she tucked it in her bag. She never saw a need for a purse, just a satchel...very old school. As the man left she returned to her scroll to read about the earth dragon...〗
✥-━┈┈━-✥ "Large enough to carry people without an issue yet kind and gentle enough to give it's minerals...Wonder if Sir Spade is kind?"

Snow Ephraio
"My parents, they're.. Nevermind. Point is, I know that I should be a first year, but apparently; I have the skills of a second year. So, they threw me in with the second years. I don't really understand it either, I don't really think I'm great or anything.. But, when my sister went missing, my parents said it was time I started here. Roi spoke with them and now, here I am." Snow coughed softly and watched as Silver went through the portal. When Snow came out on the other side, Silver was taking his jacket off. Safe to say, he was cute in a cool kind of way and Snow blushed slightly.

Then she went through the portal and met Silver at the shore.

Silver Argentum
"The Winged Mage" "Death ends a life, not a relationship Silver..."
"But... But it still hurts so much!" He stretched mildly as he waited, the black undershirt he wore much more comfortable by itself as opposed to the pressed uniform jacket. As the faint sound of footsteps caught his attention he turned around spotting the two as they entered through the gate. "Very nice!" He said referring to their successful travels, sometimes people hesitated on their first go he sure did. Raising an eyebrow at the two he took note of their faces in particular. "Are you two ok? A little nervous?" He asked noting the red coloration that had spread over both of them.
"Maybe you two should wait here for a minute I'll go get you guys some water."
He turned jogging towards a coffee stand on the corner of the road, luckily for him he had not yet closed business for the day. Asking for a few cups of water he thanked the man paying him before walking back holding the cups in his hands. Giving them each one he smiled again. "Don't worry sometimes people experience a bit of nausea going through the portal it happens to all of us a little I think. Trust me after going through it a few more times you won't feel anything at all." Giving them each a cup he drank his own delighted by the refreshing splash of water.
"Oh! I forgot, since you're both new there's something that I think I should mention." he said as he crumpled the paper cup up in his hand placing it into a blue garbage can.
"I'm afraid while we're here on the continent we cannot use magic, of any kind. This is a strict rule enforced with an equally strict punishment. Only senior students are allowed to perform magic in the normal world." He said giving them a second to adjust. "Understood? If we are to show the rest of the world we are not a threat then we must act like it and blend." He smiled again once his somewhat solemn speech was done.
"But luckily the need to ever use magic outside of a combat situation is very very rare. So without further delay let's go." He said turning around. As Sean's inquiry as to where they were going reached his ears he thought for a moment. "I'll leave it up to you two. We're all over 21 I assume so we can do pretty much anything. We could go to a club and dance, or take in some of the live music, there's an amusement park near the harbor that's pretty fun, there's a literal village of restaurants around for us to pick and choose from if we get hungry." Getting in anywhere would be rather easy, his family name carried with it a great deal of weight when you're the son of a wealthy business owner there's very little in the regular world that you cannot do.
However for now he was going to keep this a secret, there was no need to share his family history with two people he had just met.
Looking over his shoulder at the two of them he smiled again. "So what will it be?" "Cherish what you could lose, but never forget, the world continues to move and so to must we."
"I will, always and forever."

~Akira Spade~╔═════════════════════════════════════╗Where at: Arcane Tower With: Someone Thoughts: .╚═════════════════════════════════════╝((OOC; ))"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..." Akira arrived at his apartment and put away his notes from today on his desk. He hated paperwork so he rarely gave out written work. The few he did were punishments for previous classes or moments where he had nothing to teach and just needed the students to fill out their knowledge, like a review. He took off his coat, layered with dust, and shook it out of one of the windows before placing it on the coat rack. From that same rack he grabbed another, almost identical jacket. He left the apartment again, traveling to the base of the tower to wait for Roi, but couldn't see her. He approached one of the few people there, sitting on a bench invested in reading something. "Hey, you wouldn't happen to see a short girl, odd hair, dressed like the headmaster?""Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."

Snow Ephraio "I'd like to have a smoke and a drink, if that's possible." All of this talk about his parents made Snow's head hurt, and as he glanced at Silver, he could feel his face growing hot again. "Thanks for the water, by the way. I have a killer headache."

☢ Roizana of Arcane ☢"He actually came?" ✥-━┈┈━-✥
〖Roi wanted to chuckle since this look was completely different from herself. She put the scroll in her bag and stood up. "I guess i should of wore my robes instead. It's me, Spade" She still couldn't get the hang of calling him by his first name. She lightly smiled as the confidence was battling her shy self. Akira was the best option to at least attempt her hand in a relationship. "Let's not wait any longer. Come." for the time she refrained from holding his hand or arm. After all, Roi wasn't ready to attempt something like that in public. She walked with Akira, getting some bystander looks as if they never saw Roi. Just someone else.
Riding in the taxi, Roi was a bit too shy at the time to talk. It was a quiet drive to the theater. Even getting out she looked around for a moment. "I didn't know what kind of movie you would want to watch...so...your pick." and in public, her cheeks were bright at the thought of being next to another person...and it was an exciting feeling. It wasn't just her first time outside her tower, but also the first 'date' she had ever been on...but seeing the women around her as well, knowing full well her age was very much hidden behind her image haunted Roi. It was like she was attempting to be with the times when her time had been up many years ago. But she had to be strong. She cut her hair for all this too. And yet she was afraid...It made her scared enough to accidentally hold onto Akira's arm without realizing it.〗
✥-━┈┈━-✥ "How do i do this? How do i go about this?"

~Akira Spade~╔═════════════════════════════════════╗Where at: Arcane Tower With: Someone Thoughts: .╚═════════════════════════════════════╝((OOC; I feel like I'm making him too dense.))"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..." "Oh... It is you. You look normal. That's a surprise." Her hair shorter, and out robes she really looked like any normal person, at least for the mage academy standards. He followed her all the way into a taxi, although neither spoke on the way to the theater. Akira guessed she was just feeling uncomfortable with the new look and being outside. When she offered him the choice, he looked over the choices. "I haven't seen an action movie in a while. Up for it?" After asking, Roi grabbed onto his arm and he looked over in response. "Well we can't see a horror movie...""Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."

☢ Roizana of Arcane ☢"huh? What does-" ✥-━┈┈━-✥
〖Roi took the response and noticed how she was holding on his arm. She immediately removed herself and hid her face from Akira. Instead, she focused on showing the vouchers and picking a movie with cars and explosions. She hoped it would be acceptable by his standards. When she managed to finally cool down, Roi looked to Akira. "I will get some snacks. Mind securing a set for me?" she asked him, waiting till he walked off to stand in line for snacks.
She felt invisible and unnoticed by many. For her this was good. She didn't want to bring attention. Yet she could hear two female students behind her gossiping...
"I heard that the headmaster and mister Spade are a couple."
"EW! She's like really old! No way would he go out with her."
"I know, right. I bet the headmistress uses magic to conceal her real face. I bet she looks like a fairytale witch complete with long nose."
Roi, always the one to turn the other cheek, resisted the urge to discipline the two. After all, any attention to her would make this night bad-
"But that woman i saw Spade with. She looks far more like his type. Kind of weird she has purple hair-" of course they stopped when they saw that they were behind Roi. Even when she placed her order, she heard the students and a few others spreading the word...making it like it was a national discovery.
Their words...as much as it was just talk between others and rumors...they hurt Roi. It made her realize how old she truly was. How the people around her were younger and better...she could even feel her head spinning...
"I just...want to try..." Roi silently said as she walked down the halls to the theater...yet she stopped and thought about it again.
"Maybe...Spade only accepted out of feeling sorry for me? What if he only accepted because...he didn't want to go out with a student of his? Spade was always a bright and smart student. I even showed him a few tricks when he got older..." There was time before it started...and yet she spent the time looking down at the popcorn and two drinks. Wondering exactly why she was taking the comments so hard.
〗
✥-━┈┈━-✥ "I'm Headmaster Roi of the Arcane. I can't set a bad example..."

 Emilia Tatyana Romanov Valdimirovich   Emilia’s last class had been a specialty class for 2nd year students and above of Fire, specializing in accompanying sub or duel attunements. Her early morning classes tended to be Home Economics, Astronomy, Science, and more basic fire courses depending on the day. Her evening classes were geared more toward older students and more advanced magic, again depending on the day. Emilia liked to keep busy, and adored teaching, so she also oversaw different extra curricular activities in the afternoon. She offered private and group lessons in many difference instruments, vocal training, and even drama... Emilia also helped put on productions at the playhouse in the Entertainment district of the island city. They were currently between plays at the moment but she had put up fliers on the student bulletin board weeks ago announcing that there would be additions next week at the playhouse.
Despite Emilia’s initial nerves at her first year teaching magic officially to students at the institute, she had settled into the position quickly and was loving it. She knew most of the teachers by face and name, but hadn’t much gotten to know any of them very well last year seeing as she was helping oversee the new section of the Entertainment district and had her mind full of family affairs and politics back home in Russia. Besides she was a bit shy with with her peers and never really mastered the art of making friends; though she considered herself to have a few close acquaintances among the artsy crowds in town. Luckily her schedule was free today after classes and she had a bit of time to herself.
After tidying up in the multi-Atunment Chamber after her class, Emilia headed out of the school grounds into the city towards her apartment just over the Entertainment district to tidy up and get some things before heading to her special spot.
It was a little over grown public park like garden atop a 3 story stone building that housed an Italian restaurant. Emilia loved the serenity of the place. It was in a rather popular aria of the island city, where many different sorts of restaurants, pubs, and coffee houses gathered overlooking the water with a gorgeous skyline of the city at there back. You could just hear the soft chatter of people below eating there food on the veranda or walking down the board walk. Although connected to the restaurant it had a stone stare case that wrapped around the building decoratively so you didn’t have to go through the building to reach it’s roof. Most people barely knew it was there, over looking it as just a decorative old building feature not meant to be explored, so there it sat almost forgotten. As much as it was attached to that building and the city beyond Emilia felt herself far removed and at the same time at one with the wind and energy of all around her. She came here to think, to play, to get away and to be apart of it all. Emilia didn’t need to explain who she was or where she came from,here in this place she felt free.
Taking a moment to just experience she closed her blue eyes breathing in the sea air and listening to the music of the city. Sitting down on an old stone bench over looking the board walk, Emilia freed her long black hair from it’s braid to let the sea breeze whip through it. Unzipping the bag she had brought from her apartment she took out a violin case, opening it on the old bench and tenderly rosining her bow before standing to overlook the sea. Gently placing the taught horse hair of her bow to the expertly tuned metal strings of the instrument, Emilia gently began to play a soft enchanting melody that carried with the wind to the people below as they ate or walked past, feeling a gentle warmth in her finger tips and the cool air off the sea that swam around her warming slightly as she played.

~Akira Spade~╔═════════════════════════════════════╗Where at: Theater With: Alone Thoughts: ╚═════════════════════════════════════╝((OOC; Slowly getting writers block sweatdrop ))"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..." Roi offered to get some concession, so he obliged. "I'll take some reese's pieces and a root beer." he told her before she walked off. He even forgot to offer to pay. He made a note to repay her for his part, although she did get the tickets as well so he'd pay for both. He found an empty row and situated himself near the end in case Roi wanted to change rows. They were only playing commercials right now, some with subtitles in different language. The island did have a large variety of ethnicities, so it was understandable. Roi started the building of the island herself 50 years ago. She really was old enough to be anyone's grandmother, although he wondered if she had a husband at any time. "Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."

Silver Argentum
"The Winged Mage" "Death ends a life, not a relationship Silver..."
"But... But it still hurts so much!" Silver thought for a moment upon hearing their requests. "Ok then I think I know just the place!" He said as he started walking forward. Looking towards Sean at first he nodded in approval. "Unfortunately you are correct I can't show you guys an entire city in half a day, but I can show you some of my favorite spots." He looked forward again feeling the cool salty air of the harbor blow past him. "I really like the mainland, I know the city on Academy Island is just as good... But I always like to come back here, to remember that we're not just unique people put into a corner of the world and forced to stay there." He laughed lightly at himself, thinking that perhaps now was not the time for such philosophies.
After a few minutes of walking he stopped at the entrance of a high rise hotel the sleek modern design of the building gave way to the luxury and expense that went into designing such a building. He pointed up towards a large balcony that was positioned about half way up the building. "We're going up there, there's a restaurant my family and I went to a lot when I was younger." He entered the hotel breezing past the staff. The reflective marble tile on the floor shimmering in the elegant light that rained down from crystal chandeliers and mounted fixtures. Walking towards the elevator he smiled politely at the doorman nodding lightly before showing him his driver's license.
"Ah Mr. Argentum here for dinner?" He asked politely pressing the button "up" button for the elevator.
"Yes I'm just showing some friends the area." He said motioning towards Snow and Sean. As the elevator arrived The trio was allowed in. It was spacious, black marble decorated the interior as the touch screen panel in the elevator allowed Silver to access their destination.
After a short ride up the doors opened up to a large room. Tables filled the lower section while people enjoyed their food and company. The hostess at the front smiled at the three, Silver walked towards her pointing towards the balcony and exchanging a few words. She laughed politely at some joke he made before she motioned for them to follow her.
"I know it's a bit much, but don't worry I invited you two out, so the tab is on me." He said as they were seated on the balcony, a few glass fireplaces were placed in specific areas to ensure it did not get to cold. The view, a breathe taking image of the city skyline. "If nothing else it has one of the best views in the city." He said as he leaned over the glass railing taking a second to admire the view that he had been missing so much. Turning around back to Sean and Snow he smiled, their waiter had arrived placing a few menus on the table as well as their beer, wine, and spirit list. Silver smiled at the waiter looking at the menu for a moment before ordering.
"Old Fashioned please." "Cherish what you could lose, but never forget, the world continues to move and so to must we."
"I will, always and forever."

Arcos Magna
"The Illusion Silhouette" "But you don't understand! They're just young they merely need time to flourish!"
"Only the strong will survive in this world." The two spent the rest of their time together laughing and reminiscing, thinking about the times they had at the academy, growing up and ultimately becoming the people they were today. Their embarrassing stories of the other always bringing on the happy but shamed look on their faces that was soon replaced with laughs and amusement.
But as with all things it had to come to an end eventually.
"Remember graduation? I thought Dante was going to hug you so tight you were going to pop." He said followed by another shared laugh.
"Yes! He was so proud the day we graduated..." She trailed off lightly thinking for a moment. "I think I am going to see him. He deserves to know that I came back." She said softly tapping her wine glass gently with her fingertip.
Arcos smiled widely nodding in approval. "I think he'll love to see you." Paying the check the two stood up from their table heading towards the exit. Once they reached the ground floor the two old friends looked at each other, hopefully this time however it would not be by fate and the span of years that they would meet again.
"I miss this Aria, please don't be a stranger." He said as the two hugged goodbye.
"I'm not going anywhere this time." She said calmly. "I'll be on the island for a little longer, for the next few months I am on break while I look for another job." Luckily after her incident their countries' government was paying her an early retirement, but she would still work somewhere Aria never was one to just sit and do nothing.
"I'll hold you to that." He said as they finally let go of one another.
"Oh! and can you-"
"I'll looks after Scarlet." He said with a smile. "She may not be a water elemental but I'll make sure she's well taken care of." She smiled hugging him again.
"Thank you Arcos you're going to make an amazing father someday." She said before letting go again. Waving goodbye the two parted ways both knowing full well that they would soon see each other.
After the day he had had Arcos was exhausted the emotional roller coaster with Aria and a long day of teaching had left even him in need of sleep... Or more coffee. As he walked however a sound caught his attention, gentle like a whisper in nature but elegant in every way. Looking up he could not see the source, but could hear it coming from above him by just a few stories. Looking around for some manner of entry to the roof he had to circle the area a few times before finding an old spiral staircase tucked neatly away. Traversing the flight he soon found himself on a small but beautiful balcony, with a lone patron sitting on a solemn stone bench. Black hair gently held in the grasp of the cool air, the sound of a violin fluttering gently in rhythm with the world around her, Emilia, the professor to the fire students without a doubt.
Not wishing to interrupt her song he merely stood by the stairs listening, she was a gifted performer one whose passion and talents burned as brightly as the flames she could conjure. Enjoying the music he could not tell how much time had passed before she finished,and to be quite honest he didn't really care he had enjoyed every minute of it.
Clapping lightly he finally walked forward from the stair case. "As beautiful as ever." "Or have you forgotten that lesson?"
"...But kindness is a quality only the strong can afford to have. Please... Just a little more time."
