Ky was hanging on every word she said, both elbows on the table in that stereotypical sleepover girl way. ”That sucks Gemi! I'm Ky by the way. Do you know why he’s acting like this?”

claire followed amethyst into the cafeteria, not sure where the girl wanted her to sit down.
claire followed amethyst to the middle of the cafeteria, a place she had never been before. they preferred to stay to the sides of the room where people were less likely to notice her and they had a lesser chance of being roped into a large, whole-group discussion.claire took her bag off of their shoulders and hung it over the back of a chair next to the one amethyst had selected.
((yeah sorry! schools been a bitch... i can probably get back to you during the school day tomorrow though?))
((oh my god, im so sorry! i promost that i WILL post today!))
The Queen Bitch wrote: "Amethyst put her bag on a side and took her lunch. She started a conversation with Claire. "so Claire wait is that your name? im really forgetful sorry anyways what are your abilities? I'm a frost..."
claire took out her lunch and started eating. they nodded "mhm," she said when the girl asked their name.
things clicked into place in claires mind when amethyst stated her ability. she wanted to ask why the other girl wore gloves, but they thought that it might come across as rude or prying. besides, why would she talk if they didnt have to?
when amethyst asked what claires ability was, she quickly stated, "I'm a polyglot and a hydrokinetic."
((oh my god! ive been on winter break for two weeks... im so sorry! im just always busy. ill get back to u when i can.))
The Queen Bitch wrote: "Amethyst smiled "lucky those are such good abilities! I would love to be a hydrokinetic it would be so fun! " Amethyst ranted on. "I only have one ability"She so badly wanted to tell Claire about ..."
((i finally had time!!!)
claire blushed. she didnt usually talk to people, so they werent quite used to receiving compliments from anyone except her parents. they felt flattered that amethyst thought being a hydrokinetic would be cool, but she said anyway, "its not as cool as you'd think. it takes a lot of concentration and focus (which i usually don't have) to not flood the whole room while practicing."
"hey, at least your one ability is a cool one. i may as well only have one, what with how little i use my polyglot ability." claire was usually at school or at home and didn't have much time to interact with other species, let alone in their own languages. they always believed that the reason she got a second ability was to compensate for the uselessness of their first one.
haylee grabbed her lunch and went over to an empty lunch table. she scanned the lunch room for her friend, bridget, but she wasn't there at the moment. she sighed, not unhappily, but just a sigh. then she began to eat.
haylee looks up from her lunch, slightly startled. "oh, of course!" she scooches her lunch over a bit to make more room, and says," my name is haylee. haylee stone."
"thank you! your name is really cool as well," haylee says, smiling.
haylee begins to eat, and drinks a bit of water. "so, have you manifested yet?"
"yeah, i've also manifested! i'm a mesmer," haylee says, grabbing a napkin and wiping her mouth.
((if this is set on a different day than our rp, amethyst, can claire come in?)
((i know chigeen irl and im sure she wont mind. should i ask anyway though?))
((ill see her in a few minutes. ill ask then, and if its okay with her, ill post within the hour!))
((ack- i forgot to ask her, so i think ill just wait for her to come back to this thread and she can answer here))
((yeah it's all good! it might be a bit confusing, but that's all right!)haylee grins and says," thank you! i think that being a conjurer would be really cool as well!"
claire quietly walked in and scanned the room for places to sit. the girls shy usually sat with weren't there, so they had to keep looking at other tables. eventually she laid eyes upon the girl they had sat with yesterday- amethyst. she quietly walked over, but hesitated when they saw another girl already seated with amethyst. she quietly sat their lunch down on the table, and asked 'is it okay if i sit here? i cant seem to find my friends.'
haylee looks up at the newcomer, and smiles. "hey! of course! i'm haylee stone, nice to meet you!"
claire smiled gently at the other girl (haylee) who had just introduced herself as she took a seat. 'hey, amethyst,' they said when the other girl greeted her. claire opened their lunch and began eating, allowing the other two girls to continue on with their conversation.
haylee grinned cheerfully and said," claire, is it? that's such a pretty name!"
((Ack, sorry for the long wait))Moria walked in, looking behind her as her two other classmates (For she didn't actually call them friends quite yet). She walked towards the lunch line, because she couldn't really bring her own food.
Nina walked behind Marisa, piling some pastries and a spiky yellow fruit onto her tray. She glanced up as they reached the end of the line, wondering if the two girls would let her sit with her.
Moria took some food for herself, and secretly pocketed some for later. Technically speaking, she could cook her own food at her prison-cell of a house, but the one working burner was acting up, and her oven was pretty much useless. All precautions taken by Foxfire to house the "dangerous" Animato mesmer.She walked to an empty table, and looked back at the other girls. Would they join her? She was beginning to like their company, even if they were probably two years her senior, and while she did not fully trust them, she was starting to think these would be nicer elves than others she could mention.
Moria shrugged, "Go ahead." She started eating her food, slowly. She knew sometimes the staff liked to play "harmless practical jokes" on her, like "accidentally" slipping something like cayenne pepper, or worse.
Nina walked over and set her tray down. She took a bite of one of her pastries, and looked up at the other girls, wondering what they were talking about.
The silence was getting awkward. Moria took another bite of salad, "Who's going to break it?" Moria thought. Then she realized she did not have to. Knowing these girls, who she didn't really know, but that was not the point, one of the two would surely break it.
"Oh, I have Ability Training." Nina smiled at Marisa. "What about you?"
"Another mesmerism 'lesson,'" She replied, adding air quotes to the final word, "Or more specifically, 'A lecture on the evils of mesmerism.'"A teacher who happened to overhear this looked at Moria from across the room. Moria would have said something rather crude in that moment if the teacher wouldn't have heard it anyway.
"Yeah. That sounds...interesting." Nina winced a bit and smiled sympathetically, hoping that was the right response to Moria's words. "I'm just a phaser, so I don't get any of those kinds of lectures. I do get a lot of lectures about sneaking into places I shouldn't, though."
"Yeah, I bet. What ability do you have?" Nina asked curiously.
"Oh. Okay," Nina smiled supportively, hoping Moria wasn't one of those people who were mean to people who didn't have an ability yet. She didn't think she would be, but you never knew.
Moria didn't even blink when she heard everything: The responses to her own response, and the fact that one of her new friends was talentless. Her face was placid as one of those statues humans made. She raised her sliced eyebrow and leaned back, although given that she was on a bench, she had to use her core muscles to keep herself from flopping on the floor. Her unsaid response gave the impression she was saying "Go on...." Not imposing, just a cool curiosity.
Nina paused and took a bite of pastry, surprised at how comfortable she felt with these people. Normally she always felt awkward and out of place, but with them it somehow felt...different.
((So, do you all want to have them, idk, go on an adventure or something? Or would you rather they just hung out like we've been having them do?))
((So, do you all want to have them, idk, go on an adventure or something? Or would you rather they just hung out like we've been having them do?))
((Also don't have a preference. An adventure would be interesting tho...))Moria realized that she herself didn't know what she meant by her unspoken statement. She floundered a bit trying to figure out something.
"umm," she started, "like, what do you do when you don't have ability classes?" it was the first thing that came to her mind, and she wanted to slap herself for how it came out. Geez, Elvin society looked down on talentless. How was she supposed to...
Old habits kicked in and all of these thoughts did not show on Moria's face, which was kept in a look of friendly curiosity.
Nina looked between her friends as they talked, feeling as if she should say something, but not sure what to say. Finally she just blurted out, "So, um, what do you like to do in your free time?" and hoped she hadn't just ruined her relationship with these two people. She honestly had no idea what she was doing.
((Yeah, i think an adventure would be pretty cool. Do you have any idea what it should be about?))
((Yeah, i think an adventure would be pretty cool. Do you have any idea what it should be about?))
((Oof, sorry guys. I have an idea, though I will have to bring another character (and it really isn't an "adventure")))Moria nodded, but couldn't fully comprehend why someone would shop as a pass-time. Stores had always been off-limits to her. When her parents were on the run, she couldn't just walk into a store as she technically "didn't exist," and now she could only buy "approved" things for school.
Moria realized they were probably expecting her to answer as well. She started to talk, but stopped herself. What could she say? "I spend my time in a house the size of a matchbox that is basically a prison and all I can do is study?"
((I'm fine trying your idea, Nicoletta. I don't really have any other ideas anyway, lol))
((Ok))Another girl bounced up to the table. She was clearly a first year, but looked like one of those girls who's goal in life was to make as many friends as possible, and didn't care if you were a complete stranger and had ears pointier than cactus needles. Moria had seen her sitting at a different table each lunch break, making friends like it was second nature, and talking with others a lot. Moria groaned in her head, "This is going to be painful..."
The new girl looked at them, "Anyone else sitting here? Can I join? I'm Trinity, by the way."
"Oh, um, yeah, you can sit here," Nina said, hoping Moria and Marisa wouldn't mind that she was letting this girl sit with them. "I'm, uh, Nina." she gave the girl a small smile and then looked back down at her tray, fiddling with edge of her cape.
((Whops, something happened to my post.))Trinity sat down, "Nice to meet y'all."
She continued, "I kinda overheard y'guys talking about what classes you have next. I also have Ability Detecting." She looked at the girl who just introduced herself, "I heard today is going to be intense. wait a minute, I think I have seen you in that class before. Anyway." She turned back to everyone, "What are your favorite colors? Animals? Dream Abilities?"
"Um, well, I, um, like purple," Nina stuttered out before clamping her mouth shut. She could feel a burning blush creeping up her face, and felt like sinking through her seat and hiding under the table. She was really bad at this, wasn't she?
Trinity nodded, "Purple's a great color. I personally like yellow, so were complimenting each other in that case."Trinity suddenly turned to Moria, "Oh gosh, I forgot about you didn't I? I'm sorry. You look familiar though...Elvin History maybe?"
"Moria," Moria replied tersely, "And my favorite color is orange."
Trinity nodded, smiling. Suddenly, she looked up.“What happened to the lights?” Trinity said, confused, “Did something just block the current and make it blink?”
Moria looked at her quizzically. She hadn’t noticed anything.
"I don't think so..." Nina murmured. She glanced down and saw her hand was phasing through her seat, and quickly pulled it out. Her ability always acted up when she was nervous.
Moria noticed Nina's nervousness, and that her ability seemed to be acting up."Kinda like me" Moria thought, "but I do it out of instinct. Better to mesmerize than to be mesmerized."
Trinity shrugged, "Probably nothing, but that is the third time this has happened today."
Trinity suddenly squinted, looking up, "It's as if the lights seem to be dimming." She rubbed her eyes, trying to clear whatever was clouding her vision, "I guess I'm just tired." She changed the subject, "So, whatcha guys' least favorite subjects, other than Elvin History cuz, y'know..."
"I'm not very good at Elementalism, so probably that." Nina managed a small smile after she spoke, relaxing just the tiniest bit.
Nina opened her mouth and then shut it. She wanted to reassure Marisa, but she just didn't know what to say. By then the moment was almost over, and Nina still hadn't responded. Finally she just attempted to give Marisa a small smile and hoped that was enough.
Moria tersely replied, "Ability sessions. My mentor's one job is to make sure I do not fulfill my potential." To Nina, she was about to offer some tips on Elamentalism, but didn't know if Nina would take it the wrong way and resent her, so she stayed silent. To everything else mentioned, she just nodded. She had manifested rather early, and had other priorities more pressing than worrying about not manifesting to ever be able to relate to Marisa's situation.Trinity turned to Nina, "Ugh, ya, Elementalism is on my top 3 least favorite. Isn't the professor for that, goshwhatshername, like, not helpful?" Then to Marisa, "Yeah, I get that too. Listen, you got time. I've met a bunch of people who thought they would be talentless until they manifested at like, the last possible moment. Arg!" Trinity clutched her eyes again, "The light's dimming again!" She removed her hands and tried to blink, "I can't see!" She all but screamed.
