Whimsical Academy discussion
Bailee nodded, "Neither do I," she said. She had been at the party for a few hours now and she was trying not to feel groggy, but simething must have been in that beer. She had never felt this way after drinking before.
Elizabeth C. wrote: "Cole was already tossing back a beer, nodding at people who came in--scowling at Cal--when he saw Sasha. She looked absolutely amazing. Gorgeous hair, cute dress. He set the beer can down and walke..."Pearl whirled around to look the way Cal was looking, her grip tightened, just slightly on the other girls hand as she peered over to a boy that looked like he was trouble. Just by looks alone, one could tell he just didn't care about what the world thought. "Well hell," Pearl replied, "Want me to give him something to think about?" Her free hand curled into a fist. She didn't like the guy simply because she'd upset Cal, and he looked like an ass. Both things made him be on her list of boys that needed to be knocked out.
Sasha blushed immediately upon Cole's compliment, "Hey to you too. Thank you for inviting me, oh here," She handed him a bag of snacks, "I guess I didn't bring enough," She laughed nervously, "There are a lot more people here than I thought there would be." Sasha didn't want Kataera to leave her side, but she knew that she also had to learn to navigate on her own, especially if she really was serious about this guy Cole. "You're drinking already?" She asked wincing slightly, then she cleared the emotions off her face, "You know what? Let me have one," She reached around Cole, brushing against him for mere seconds before straightening and popping open a beer, "Cheers," She said before taking a sip, she ended up coughing though, "Ew, thats gross."
"Nah, not yet. I told you I kinda beat him up and then shot him, right? If he comes over here we can knock his ass out or at least shoot him again, but I think it's better for everyone else involved if, at the moment, we ignore him." She sighed and looked at Pearl. "Honestly, he's a jerk, and I have a feeling we'll run into him soon enough." Cole nodded. "Of course. Oh, wow." He looked inside the bag. "No, these are great, thanks, I'll set them out for people." He noticed the lush in her cheeks, and felt himself grin--he'd made her do that? "And yeah, I said people could just invite whoever they wanted. Parties are usually like that, but hey, if you--want fresh air, we could go for a walk?" He paused, almost mortified. Now he was saying they could go on a walk? Together? Instead of trying to make out with her at a party, his comfort zone, he'd just offered to go on a freaking walk? Cole placed one hand over his face and rubbed at his forehead, brushing some hair aside as he did. His stomach flipped again as her fingers touched his, but he got over it as he watched in utter surprise as she picked up a beer and opened it. Her reaction made him laugh--he couldn't help it. He'd never seen someone with this reaction before. "Um, it...it has an aftertaste you have to get used to," he managed with an amused grin. Oh, but she was so sweet and adorable.
Pearl nodded in agreement, “Okay, he’s on silent mode, for now. He’s lucky he didn’t die,” she turned toward Cal, facing her fully, “Let’s just forget that idiot for now. Want me to make you a drink?” She had said she wanted a cocktail so Pearl assumed she wanted a sweet drink. Hopefully whoever the guy was that was hosting the party would have a blender, she had watched her aunt enough times to know how to make drinks. She would make her girlfri- whoa. Had she just said girlfriend? She needed to slow down, she didn’t even know if Cal liked her all that much yet. Though it would be pretty awesome if they did decide to date. Sashas eyes widened when Cole suggested a walk, to get fresh air of course, but still she would be alone with him. “Umm.” She wasn’t sure what to say about the walk, then he was laughing at her reaction to the beer, “I do not see how in any way that could be attractive,” she held the beer out like it was going to contaminate her. “I thought it would be sweet I guess,” she admitted before putting the beer down off to the side. Someone else could have it. “I mean they do make sweet alcoholic drinks right?”
Kataera watched Sasha and Cole, her tail twitched at the tip, moving from left to right in an attentive feeling. The Zushenian was also half listening to the girls talking about someone, her hidden cat ears turned to listen to both conversations, but she missed words every now and then.
"If he doesn't show I'm leaving," Kataera told herself, referring to Klaus.
This party was mostly stressing her out, with the lights, sounds, smells, and people. Her front paws flexed as she sat quietly.
Alger and Andronika were both still on the topic of courses they were going to take, when Alger made a smart remark,
"How dare you," Andronika said, punching her brother in the shoulder.
No one but Andronika could get away with punching Alger, since he would either punch back in the face or snap back and it would go down hill from there.
"Hey, I didn't mean to offend," he tried to reason,
"Sure," she said sarcastically and rolled her ocean blue eyes.
Neither of them had drank yet, thanks to Andronika, her brother had tried but she had quickly taken it away from him so he wouldn't be able.
Josiah watched her, he was mostly making sure she didn't hurt herself or anything since it was far from what he wanted to deal with. He had a small bottle of beer in his hand and took a small drink, looking around he saw Ollie and a few people he knew from other years.
"Oh, I know. I mean, I could kill him if I wanted to." She paused. "Actually, the little shit is technically immortal so...I guess next time I'm putting him in the med--the infirm--whatever the hell normal civilians call--oh, a hospital? Yeah, that. Oh." Caledonia turned to Pearl, giving her a more full attention even as she saw Cole talking to the girl from this morning, Sasha. He actually seemed to be treating her alright and not being overly flirtatious, which admittedly took her by surprise. On the other hand, Bailee seemed drunk already, so maybe she'd have to keep an eye on her more than Cole this time. "Um. Sure? If you're okay with that. Just one cocktail, though." She gave her roommate a smile. "Thank you."Cole's eyebrows widened in amusement. "Sweet? Beer? No. But they do make sweeter alcoholic drinks, yeah. We don't have a bunch of wine here, but some wines can be sweet, and some cocktails are sweeter." For some reason, it endeared him to her as she held the beer out like a disease; he lost noticed she didn't comment on his walk offer, but he didn't push it. It had been a really bad idea, anyway. He knew for some reason he liked this girl, but that was also bad.
Rowan made his way to Ollie, hoping against all hopes he wasn't drunk yet. "Hey," he greeted him quietly, the party already too crowded for his taste. "Um. You didn't drink yourself insane yet, right?" He asked. "And is gun lady here?" He questioned, even though he doubted she would be after what Ollie told him about her.
Alya, meanwhile, settled herself at a desk, in a chair, drinking a beer and watching people as she liked to do, her training as a spy kicking in even though she hardly recognized it.
(My characters lol. Kataera is sitting and questioning why she's here. Josiah is making sure Bailee doesn't hurt herself, and the twins are making sure the other doesn't get drunk)
((lol. I mean I can have Alya talk to whoever if you want she's the only one I have free at the moment))
(I mean the twins aren't busy, I have Kataera who's waiting for Klaus and she's probably going to leave)
Bailee watched Josiah, a small smile played at her lips. She loved the way his bleah blonde hair was always in a perfect mess. She smiled again. "You really are quite cute, Frost," she murmured
((Bringing Hannah into this is a very bad idea isnt it?... anyway, I mean Alya and the twins could talk? Or Kataera if you don't want her to leave?))
(You chose, I'm fine with either of the ones you chose)
Josiah looked at her, he had to smile as well, people when they weren't sober were funny and amusing in his opinion.
"Umm you too," he replied.
She looked really nice, the lighting complimented her and she was really cute.
Bailee blushed and smiled. She looked down at her hands, "Want to get out of here?" She asked, looking back up at him. She brushed a strand of dark auburn hair behind her ear.
((okay, lemme do Alya since I already have four here haha))Alya's eyes wandered to two people who looked to be related, a boy and a girl, and she got up and walked over to them. May as well try and be friends or at least friendly with them. That was why she was here, right?
"Hi, um, mind if I join you?" She asked, taking another sip of beer, a more tropical flavor. Cole had a ridiculous amount of beer, and some kid had brought an entire keg.
(He really is a self conscious and low self esteemed ball of snow, what did you expect, lol)
Josiah looked at her,
"You sure your ready to move around," he asked her.
He personally wasn't sure if that was a good idea, he had dragged plenty of drunk friends back to their homes, and wasn't expecting much different here.

"I don't," Andronika said, smiling at Alya.
Alger shrugged and took a drink of soda, the girl smelled like basically everyone else in the room, and he wasn't surprised. He would have too if Andronkia didn't keeping stopping him, but it was for the best he knew it.
Bailee hadnt stood up in what felt like hours. So when the girl did, all the blood seemed to rush to her head. She closed her eyes. "Um, actually I think I might just go back to my dorm, you can stay here though; enjoy yoirself," she told him, rocking from side to side. She finally was able to steady herself when she grabbed ahold of a table. She shook her head and bit her lip, headed for the door.
"Thanks." Alya smiled at them. "I'm Alya, it's nice to meet you two. What are your names?" She asked, and then looked around the room; Bailee was staggering towards the door, drunk, and she turned to see Caledonia watching Bailee, eyes narrowed. She turned back to the two at hand.
Josiah was already up and ready to catch her in seconds,
"I'm going to make sure you get there," he tells her.
He planned on leaving her at her dorm once she was safely not going to hurt herself. Josiah followed after her, making sure to steady her.
Alger and Andronika smiled at her,
"I'm Andronika and this is my older twin Alger," she said,
"Nice you too you too," Alger said and with a nod.
The two were clearly related and Alya had been right that they were related, both with hair of similar color and eyes of ocean blue. Their smiles were quite similar, as well.
"Oh! Twins. That's fun. By the way, I love your eyes. Sorry if that's a weird comment, but they're very pretty." And Alya may have been slightly drunk; she didn't know. "Is this your first year here? And nice to meet you!"
"Umm thanks," they said at the same time.
Andronkia was clearly the friendlier and more open to conversation out of the two siblings, and Alger was more of the listener. He was also able to tell that she was drunk, he'd seen enough to know the difference.
"Our fourth," Alger said, with a nod from his sister.
"Oh, okay. Do you like it here?" She asked. "It's my first year. I man, technically 5th, but I haven't been here that long, if that makes sense. Also, Andronika is a lovely name."
"Yeah," Alger said,
"Took you way to long to get used to it," Andronika said elbowing him.
He elbowed her back and sighed, sticking his tongue out at her, which she ignored,
"Thanks, Alya is too," she says returning the compliment.
She smiled at their interaction, and for a moment, missed her own brother. He was much too young to be here, she knew that, but still. "Oh, thank you. It's Russian. Anyway, that's good to know, I'm unsure about this place, but if you say it's good it probably isn't bad."
"That's cool," Alger commented, and looked up from his soda.
"Yeah, I like it at least," Andronika states,
"But you like everything," Alger countered,
"And you don't," Andronika countered,
"Oh shut up," her brother replied trying to elbow her, but she moved out of the way.
She snickered since he'd missed and Alger frowned but sighed since it was pointless to argue with her.
"Are you two close?" Alya asked, taking another sip of her drink. "You seem close."
"I think so," Andronika replied, she smiled and hugged Alger.
He looked at her with a frown and his expression softened quickly and his smiled at her. They argued often but they quickly were close after a few hours at most.
"Do you have siblings?" Alger asked.
She smiled at them. "It's sweet. And yeah, I do, I have a younger brother, he's ten." She nodded in thought about him. "So he doesn't go here."
"Awww that's so cute," "Will he go here eventually?" Andronika asked.
The daughter of Aphrodite was all about people being happy, and loved, so she seemed hopeful that Alya's brother would come to the school one day.
"Thanks! And maybe, he's a bit shy and not actually into academics as much, but maybe. My mom wanted me here to 'branch out' an 'meet new people', and this environment is different than normal schools, so it's very possible she'd want the same for him."
Both the twins nodded,
"I think that's what our parents wanted for us as well," Andronika said.
Alger nodded to his sister and looked back at Alya, a question coming to mind,
"Who's your mom?" he asked, since from what he knew most people here had interesting parents.
"That's understandable." She paused for a second at the question. Things usually didn't go well when she mentioned her mom's identity, but things may different here. "Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow? How about you?"
The twins looked at her when she spoke the name,
"Oh we've heard of her," Andronika announced and nudged her brother,
"Yeah, dad talked about her once," he replied.
"Our parents are Ares and Aphrodite," Andronika stated with a smile.
This revealed both were a god and goddess, since both parents were a god and goddess, not a mortal and Olympian parent, which would have made them demi-gods.
"Oh? What did your dad say about her?" She asked curiously, and then her eyes widened. "Oh, wow, you're literally gods? And a goddess, I suppose. What's that like? I've met a god before but I'm still amazed."
"Oh just stuff to me, mostly how I should learn to fight like her, don't worry nothing bad," Andronika assured her.
"Yeah," Alger said on the topic of what they were.

"Actually, the little shit is technically immortal so...I guess next time I'm putting him in the med--the infirm--whatever the hel...""He's immortal? Prick, he doesn't deserve it," Pearl played with some of her hair as she spoke, "Oh okay, I'll go make you a drink. Be right back," Pearl squeezed Cal's hand before bouncing off to find all of the ingredients that she would need. It took a minute, while maneuvering through all of the people and finding ice, vodka, and some fruit juice. She did her best to ignore the bodies around her, they were either jamming out to the music or making out with their bodies. She tried to push the thoughts that came to mind to the back, she could easily be one of those girls making out, Cal was cute, and she had attitude. She could see them being a thing, if Cal were up to it. She'd have to talk to her about it after the party maybe.
"Wine? Oh okay..." Sasha wondered if there was wine at the party, or a cocktail, "I guess I'll just have a soda for now. Its probably for the best," Sasha admitted and grabbed a coke, popping it open she took a sip, then giggled, "The carbonation went up my nose," She wiped her nose and closed her eyes for a moment as she tried to get air through her nose. "Sorry," She said with an apologetic look, "I'm sure I'm boring you. Did you want to go on that walk? I don't know if I should leave Kataera though...>" She looked towards her roommate who seemed to not be having the best time. "Maybe she needs a boyfriend," She said with a thoughtful look.
Klaus walked into the party, it was thriving at the moment. His eyes looked around for one particular person though, and landed on her, she was hard to miss. Kataera, he grinned as his strides took him to her in only a handful of seconds, "Hey," He said as he leaned against the wall next to her. "How goes it? Enjoying the party so far?" He dropped the beer at his feet that he had brought to help out.
Ollie turned in surprise, Rowan was there, like he'd actually made it! "Boy," He said with a grin and pounded Rowan on the back in brotherly like affection. "You made it! Nah I haven't had anything to drink yet. I need to get one actually, yeah the girl is here, she's over there," He nodded toward the girl that had handed him his ass. "I'm ignoring her like you said to though," He looked away quickly, not wanting her to catch him looking even remotely in her direction. "Are you going to have a beer or what? The music is on point, might as well have fun while you can."
//when would you like to do that?//
(Any time works for me)
Kataera looked at Klaus, she smiled trying to be friendly, since she thought it would polite rather being showing how she was feeling about the entire experience.
"It's good, how about you?" she asked.
She tied her hair back, since it had fallen into her face, her cat like ears poked out slightly. Kataera had avoided the drinks so far, since she'd had some before but it had been way to bitter for her liking.
Valerie walked in. "What? No invite?" She fake pouted.
The twins hadn't had anything to drink, thanks to Andronika who had been able to keep her brother from making bad choices,
"What classes do you plan on taking?" she asked her brother,
"No idea, you?" he asked, and she shrugged.
It was clear Andronika was going to keep her brother as sober as possible and her brother was going to do the same for her.
"I don't dance often," he admits, making sure to keep her from stumbling.
He sat down, having only had a few sips of beer, but with his high tolerance was acting completely normal and fine.
Kataera watched the people, so many humans, mortals and immortals. The smell for her was overwhelming, and the sounds of music and voices didn't help. Much like a cat her senses were going and she couldn't control them, so she continued to sit quietly, if she didn't see Klaus soon she planned on leaving.
