Dani nodded and hugged herself, "Okay. Okay."

((Oh my. Where do I come in?))
((Okay))Sierra stood outside Dani's room, trying to listen. She was not naturally snoopy but she'd heard the part about the girl being pregnant and wanted to know more.
{We should move to the topic Dani's room, right?}
Quite suddenly, there was the loud sound of the Institute's door being opened. A teenage girl, around the age of 16 walked in. She had dark brown hair, and amber eyes. She tried to enter quietly, but clumsily tripped over herself and landed in a heap on the entryway.{Is this ok? :)}
((Yeah))Sierra heard the crash outside and went over to investigate. She saw the girl on the floor. "And HOW did you get in?" she asked. "I had to wait a long time before they opened the door for me."
The girl looked slightly bewildered and embarrassed. "They opened the door for you? My father said to just touch the door, state you business, and it will open..." She looked very scared for a moment and whispered, "D-Did I break the door? Less than a minute here and I've already managed to break something."
(Sorry if I got the information there mixed up!)
"No. I think." Sierra said, tilting her head to the side at the girl's stuttering. "I think Isabelle left it unlocked after letting that other girl in." she looked at the girl. "Are you always this....highstrung?" ((Even I'm not sure about that part. Got to check it!))
The girl looked thoughtful for a moment, "No, not particularly. But when you're in a new place where no one knows you and you seemed to have opened a door someone else could not," She paused to take a breath. "it can sort of get you nervous."The girl stumbled onto her feet and stuck out her hand, "Hi. I don't think you even know my name, do you? Well it's Miranda. Sorry to be bothering you this fine night. From the way you judged my entry, I-I can't see that it wasn't expected."
(sorry it's so long!)
((No that's great. I love long posts!))Sierra gave her an icy look for no particular reason. This girl seemed to excitabke for her to like but she still shook the girl's hand. "I'm Sierra." she said. "I would have said it's nice meeting you but it's actually exhausting." she smiled a little, with hardly any humour. "And no, your marvellous entry wasn't expected."
Withdrawing her hand, embarrassed, Miranda’s voice came out in a tiny squeak, “Sorry. I honestly didn’t mean to intrude. My father had said everything was arranged, but apparently he was wrong.”She took a step back and gathered up all her luggage, a surprisingly small amount if she were planning to stay at the Institute permanently. “Are you Isabelle Lightwood? My father said to meet her here, but I honestly pictured her slightly,” She paused for a moment, thinking of the right word,”Different."
"I'm not Isabelle Lightwood." Sierra said in an annoyed voice. "I'm nothing like her if you must know." she flicked her long hair back irritably. "And if everything has beeen arranged for, I wouldn't know it because I just arrived around an hour ago. You can come in if you like."
“Oh, right!” Miranda looked very sheepish, “I completely forgot you had already introduced yourself! I feel just awful! I seemed to have almost broken your door and already insulted you!” Then, as if realizing that she still had yet to enter the Institute, she said, “And, yes, I think it would be wise if I entered about now. The weather is very cold, but I’m afraid I’m used to it.” She took a step forward and into the Institute, catching her breath. It looked very different from the one she had known back where she had lived before. This one seemed more... glamorous. “Wow,” She breathed,“This is an extremely nice Institute. You must be very pleased to live here! Tell me, since you only arrived an hour ago, are you excited about studying here? I would imagine so, considering the pleasant atmosphere, but one must never assume someone else’s emotions.”
"I'm not avtually excited about studying here." Sierra said. "I came herre because my parents thre me out of their house and made me come and live here. I don't like it that much and I definitely didn't react like you when I entered." She looked at the girl. "You should try and calm down a little...Miranda." she said. "If you don't, I don't think you'll find life here very good. Have you ever fought a demon before?"
“Once!” She said enthusiastically, then remembered how Sierra had reacted to her enthusiasm before, and corrected herself. “It was a Vetis. Extremely short, If I do say so myself. I honestly thought demons would be taller! Nast little thing,” She said in her calmest voice, which made her sound extremely shy. “Why? Have you ever fought a demon before?” Miranda tried to smile her sweetest smile, considering this girl seemed very upset about her arrival, but all that she muster was a grimace.
"I've fought more than you can imagine." Sierra let her long sleeves fall back slightly so Miranda could see the scars and the runes that laced her arms and the scar that circled her wrist which had occurred when a demon's tail had caught her. "You should try fighting some more." she said. "Shadowhunters need practice." she let her sleeves fall again.
Gasping, Miranda exclaimed, “That’s really impressive! I truly only study the books and stuff. I don’t really like violence, but I can fight if I need to. That’s why my father sent me here, he said that I needed to learn how to fight. Honestly, the only reason I agreed was because I heard you guys had an enormous library. Do you like to read?” She asked, her eyes getting wide. “I feel everyone should read a little bit."
"I never studied the books." Sierra said narrowing her eyes. "And no. I don't like to read anything, especially shadowhunter books." she paused for a moment. "There is a library here though as I have heard. You can go there if you like. I'd bet it's big."
“What do you mean never?” She asked softly, almost not believing what she had just heard. “Don’t tell me you’ve never studied The Codex. I’ve read it cover to finish at least three times!"
"No. I never studied the Codex." Sierra said. "I told you, I don't like reading. I like fighting." she looked coolly at Miranda. "And I think you should try adding more demons to your list of demons you've fought." ((Just got a cool idea for this RP!))
Miranda looked, or at least tried her hardest to look coolly right back, “And I think you should at least read the Codex before you go and tell me that you don’t like reading.”((Do tell! I wouldn’t want to go the opposite direction by accident!))
((What if Miranda deliberately goes out to fight a demon and Sierra doesn't find out till it's too late or something. I know it sounds a little cliche like the City of Bones but...I don't know.))"I don't want to read the Codex." Sierra said. "I can fight perfectly well without reading it. I'm not like you."
((gtg))
(( OK that sounds like an awesome idea!))Miranda stood perfectly still and threw a glare at Sierra with as much hate as she could muster and said in an icy tone, “And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"That means I can fight." Sierra said, smirking a little at Miranda's glare. She kept on distancing herself from the world and after Isabelle, she was liking this easier argument. "And you're too scared to so you read."
"T-that isn't true!" She stuttered, "I'm not too scared! It's just-" She bit her lip to stop herself from finishing the sentence. Correcting herself, she said, "It's just that it isn't always about fighting. For you, maybe." She started walking forward, and then stopped to turn around and say angrily, "I think I know your type. You go around showing people how tough you are, but really? On the inside all you are is a jealous brat who can't handle other people being better than you!"((Sorry! Miranda is being really mean now!))
((The drama begins!))That hit Sierra closer to her heart than she was used to people's words affecting her ((I don't know if that makes sense)) and succeeded in making her ruder than she already was. "For shadowhunters it is all about fighting." she said, her hands clenched into fists by her sides. "But I'm sure you don't know that because all you do is read and the demon? I'd bet you made that up because you find me intimidating."
Laughing Miranda said, "You? Intimidating? How could someone who knows so little be intimidating? Oh you know how to use a knife, okay. Even a mundane could learn to work such a simple weapon, however, not many mundane a can comprehend the knowledge of the Codex." She began to walk forward, luggage in hand, then said, without turning her head back, "Now you can either make yourself useful and show me my room or stand there like the babbling idiot you are!"((The claws are out!))
"Babbling idiot!" Sierra exclaimed. "You should have looked at yourself when you came in and for your information, they're called runed blades and a mundane can't use them which you should be knowing if you read the Codex." she raised her eyebrows. "I'm not going to show you your room. You can find it yourself. I don't know which one is yours anyway."
“THEY HAVE A THREE PAGE INTRODUCTORY TO A KNIFE WHICH YOU”D KNOW IF YOU READ IT!” She practically screamed. She calmed herself down before adding, “And I will find my room, thank you very much."
(( Can she go look for the demon and you come in and rescue her?))
((Yeah. That would be cool.))"I haven't read it." Sierra said calmly. "And yes. You can find your room by yourself. Just as I told you. Make yourself useful."
(( I’m going to have her go back to her room and then sneak out. Would you mind making a separate location to continue the RP? Like abandoned alley or something? Thanks))
Miranda unlocked the door by touching it and entered the Institute.
"Get ready by tonight." Sierra said. "You'll have a strenuous training session ahead of you."
Miranda's face went pale, "Are... We're,,, but... Are we going to start with the basics? I don't think I can handle much more than that!" Her face held a look of pure horror.She fidgeted nervously with her thumbs as she waited for a reply.
"Of course it'll be the basics." Sierra said. "Can't rush things." she gave Miranda a quick pat on the back. "Wear your training gear and come to the weapon's room and for goodness sakes, come quietly. I'm sure what we're oing isn't allowed."
"Oh ok!" She rushed of to her room to get changed into clean clothing.
((I'll wait in the weapons room :D))
Chloe and Max sit on the living room floor, reading manga. Just like they do every Saturday and Sunday.
"Max?"
"Yeah"
"Can we go into the training room? I'm bored."
"No, you know that Chloe."
"I'll let you in."Jace said, walking in. (not sure if I can make Jace appear...)
"Max?"
"Yeah"
"Can we go into the training room? I'm bored."
"No, you know that Chloe."
"I'll let you in."Jace said, walking in. (not sure if I can make Jace appear...)
Cause I just have Max and Chloe...
((That's fine for now, I guess. The person who owns Jace hasn't been on for quite some time now))
