Aykay hit the wall hard. She nearly blacked out as his full weight slammed against her.. His fingernails were tearing at her skin.... He was a lot stronger than she gave him credit for... She tried to free herself from his grip, but to no avail. She began frantically clawing with her fingernails while she tried to figure out what to do... She turned her head and found it was right up against his shoulder... she bit down hard. It was the only thing she could think of...Ethan watched numbly as The snake guy slammed her into the wall. Aykay didn't have a chance against this guy..."Stop! You guys, that's enough!" He yelled.@jupiter_hollow Ethan: Stop!!! Me: Fight! Fight! Fight!@carter @cutebirdy79 @xoxo5959 @glazzie

@dada_dragon @carter @glazzie-She hadn't even looked at him, it seemed. Not noticed his body, packed with muscle or the tell tale forked tongue that implied a poisonous bite to match his bark. Not bothered to look into his behaviour, which wasn't all that hard to decode, and realize he wasn't above hurting anybody.She had just head first into the fight.And as much as he was aware that they matched in character, he still desired to teach the defiant girl a lesson.Roaring from pain, he drew back, taking her weight with himself and then bodyslammed her against it once more.His hands slid lower on her arms, leaving open gashes as they went, and gripped just below her elbows so he could lift her up like deadweight.He did. Stepping back once again, he lifted her a head above himself, preparing to fling her flat onto the ground, knock her air out, crack a few ribs and then break them all with a series of kicks."Draco."The slim, calm voice echoed eerily in the quieted cafeteria. He had not bothered to raise his tone, nor had he made the effort to sound intimidating, but Draco's name on a pair of poisonous lips made the reptilian pause mid air and heave the girl away from himself as if she'd stung him.His head snapped to the side so Draco could meet Arsenic's pale gaze even though he'd felt it on himself before even turning towards him.Having gotten enough of Strider's stuttering, the toxic parahuman had sauntered down towards the cafeteria, not only in search for 'Alexin' whoever he was, but also drawn in by the sounds of the fight.He had guessed from a distance that Draco was one of the participants. That did not, however, mean that he was okay with it.

Aykay picked herself up, panting for air. This guy...She looked down at her arms. They looked like a wild beast had clawed at them... And she felt like she hadn't harmed him at all.She was about to run at him while he was distracted when she felt a hand on her arm."Just stop." Said Ethan. "It isn't worth it."He lead her away from Draco. She was too tired to protest and followed him. He brought her over to where Eytan and Alexin were standing."This is Aykay." He told them. "Although you probably guessed that. Aykay, this is Eytan and that's Alexin."She looked up at them."What are you supposed to be?" She asked, pointing at their wings.@jupiter_hollow@glazzie@carter@xoxo5959@cutebirdy79

@jupiter_hollowStrider had no problem with Arsenic leaving. Even if he wanted to stop him, he was simply shaking too much to do anything to prevent him from leaving him there. Maybe if he could just get himself back to his dorm without tripping over himself through the dizzy haze of the panic attack. But he couldn't plan out anything in his head. He had long shut down.Curling up to the nearest wall, he tried to make himself as small and unnoticeable as possible, to not draw attention to himself. Like he wanted to disappear. Strider did feel small. He felt weak. This kind of thing was only for those who didn't have a grip, and it was plain for anyone to see that he did not have a grip. And he just kept telling himself that. That this was pathetic, that he didn't have a grip.If he hadn't disappeared yet, it certainly felt like he had.

@Carter Birdie, why did you leave me ;3; @dada_dragon-Throwing one last ill-hearted gander at Teddy, pupils dilating in delight at the sight of her blood-stained arms, Draco bent over in a near crouch, the movement cracking all his bones back into their respectful joints. Only his currently unhinged jaw slightly glitched mid-retraction and he had to force it back into place with a chuckle of demented amusement.It had been fun while it lasted. He admitted to being in need of a medic, however. No jaw, not even his, was supposed to pop like that.He took a seat on the first bench in front of his eyes and waited for the toxic parahuman to saunter over, feisty as ever. He seemed slightly more irked than Draco had seen him before, his face occupied by a childishly angry expression. His lips, puckered in a snotty pout, tightened further, as did his squinted eyes, when Draco chuckled outright mockingly at him.A twitch of his lip, the skin around the edges of his mouth crinkling slightly, made the reptilian fall silent, knowing he'd overstepped a limit, if the tell tale wrinkles on the bridge of Arsenic's nose. Despite the childish appearance, his partner was dead serious in his fury."Who started this?" he hissed out, outdoing the snake himself with the eery resonance of his hiss. He had always been better at intimidating, and he was well aware of that."Her." the other hurried to answer, resting both elbows on his knees and leaned his upper half down onto them. Brewing fights wasn't allowed in Arsenic's book, he knew. The parahuman didn't want them getting expelled from the save haven they'd found - he'd said so to Draco a few minutes prior to starting a fight with a teacher over their dorm arrangements... Sometimes, the other's logic was ridiculous. Still, as a self-proclaimed genious, the little one also claimed he was allowed to make the rules for them. Draco had learned not to protest.He waited for Arsenic to nod before he allowed himself to relax. Soon found himself recalling Sam as all other minor thoughts exited his mind. The kid hadn't really been caught up in the havoc, so he wondered where he'd gone.He spotted him soon."Hey Lassie."Wonder if the fight got him scared. The poor little thing was way too innocent to have witnessed such a thing before, he was sure.Reaching out a hand, he rested in on the kid's shoulder, unknowingly earning Sam a silent glare from Arsenic."-Aykay, this is Eytan and that's Alexin."The black-haired boy snapped his head around as soon as he registered the name, wide eyes fixed on the tiny group nearby. He recalled being here for a matter different than giving Draco the eye and stood swiftly.Alexin smiled in a timid manner at the duo, still partially shielded by Eytan's body, though the male had loosened up by the end of the fight. Gods, thankfully, he hadn't participated. Not that he would be primitive enough to swan dive into the battle, but adrenaline was his drug and he tended to do stupid things to supply himself with such. So, naturally, Alexin had been worried sick throughout it. Kudos for not ending up injured this time... Still, if it wasn't him, it was going to be someone else and he couldn't help but flinch at the sight of Aykay's wounds."Horrible circumstances for a first impression... But it's nice to meet you." he mumbled with a blush, wondering how much of a coward his trembling form was ruling him out to be. Eytan's hand on his shoulder suspended some of the shivers, but he was still quite shaken. The reptile parahuman had looked so frighteningly poised to kill... He'd seen Eytan fight before, but the brunette had been savage in his actions. Shaking the scene he'd accidentally memorized away from the front of his mind, he gestured to Aykay's biceps."T-the gashes will get infected if not treated immediatelly. There's a lot of dead matter caked onto the open wounds...""Yeah, she'll lose an arm or two." Arsenic added, just now slowing down to a stop beside them. He carefully inspected 'Aykay's wounds, tipping his head to the side in curiosity rather than worry, not bothering to acknowledge the low threatening rumble emmited from above - a certain black vulture was hellbent on looming over him until he backed away.Still, the toxic boy only smiled up at him.The obsidian gazed glaring into his contrastingly pale eyes was daring him to do what Draco had done - invade their space and look down on them arrogantly. And while the stingray knew it would set the giant off more or less, he refrained from looking away and kept his gaze on Eytan, despite the curiosity of how the vulture would react."Don't hiss. The other little birdie is panicking." he mumbled, glancing at the white dove.Both frowned, Eytan narrowing his eyebrows more while alexin raised them in confusion. It took him a few seconds to realize the one Arsenic was referring to was Strider."Oh god!"-@glazzie @xoxo5959 @epicthings451 So, this is one of the teachers. I didn't really feel like waiting for Alexin. xD He wouldn't be all that helpful, I feel.-"Oh god!"The sharp clicking of her heels against the marble floor broke the previously unperturbed silence of the hallway as the teacher rushed towards a boy curled up in a defensive ball. She had noticed him right away, freezing in terror as she'd almost deemed him dead before noticing actual movement.She rushed towards him. The papers, previously clutched to her chest, were now flung aside as the teacher kneeled down and gathered the trembling mess of limbs against herself, not caring as tears quickly soaked her white collared shirt. Folding her legs underneath him, she pushed some of the strands of hair hanging in front of his face and uncovered moist eyes. She stroked his hair."Are you alright, honey?" she cooed, tucking his head against her shoulder, ginger hair curtaining his view of the hallway. She hurried to check his breathing - it was uneven and rapid.He looked hurt, every single part of him trembling in obvious pain, though she couldn't find any trace of blood or an open wound. No bruises, no cuts - she inspected him from head to toe, heart racing with worry.Pausing briefly, she lifted a hand of his, observing his fingers twitch uncontrollably, spasmodically closing in on itself. The nails had already begun to dig holes into his palms and she wedged her own hand there to prevent any further damage.He wasn't injured, nor hurt. He was terrified.She could feel every tremor of his muscles, which ran through her as well, frightening her more as the boy remained unresponsive. He seemed to struggle with taking a proper sip of air, or grasping to reality as well. Reaching down, she haphazardly wiped some of the tears pooling around his eyes so he could hopefully become aware of his surroundings and respond to her."Can you hear me? Can you see me?" she inquired, snapping her fingers loudly in front of his face, to test both sight and hearing.She feared the boy would hyperventilate himself into unconsciousness, considering the feverish sweat dripping down his forehead, the short breaths and the tremors that periodically shook him from head to toe were the tell tale signs of a panic attack."Jesus..." she muttered, hooking a comforting arm around his back, while her other one still clutched his hand, and cooing to the boy in soft shushing sounds.

@Jupiter_Hollow I sorreh ;-; I'm here now ish @xoxo5959 @cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @glazzie @dada_dragon---Flinching as a hand came down on his shoulder, Samuel turned a little to quickly to look at the snake parahuman. His blue eyes were previously blank and almost unresponsive as he'd sort of 'spaced out'. Though now his eyes held traces of fear, so forcefully covered with happiness that it was unsure if the K9 himself knew he was actually scared of something unknown. Even though he forced a smile he still had a defensive posture as if he had been in the fight himself. "Y-yeah?" Samuel asked in a slightly quieter voice, not registering the other's nickname for him only knowing a voice was directed toward him. He glanced over at the other parahuman's nearby and his expression turned worried as he saw the blood, actually wondering how it had happened but not asking just yet. The K9 was also surprised at the people none of which he knew or had seen before, the last time he'd checked hardly anyone had been around him and it confused him slightly. Once again he didn't ask as the others spoke. -Still standing at his place near the door, Jax enjoyed the show with a blank expression one not exactly happy nor sad either. Admittedly he wished the fight would have lasted longer but he didn't want the girl to get hurt to badly after all. His long tri-colored tail flicked lightly behind him and his eyes followed each of the parahumans for a moment though one of them confused him slightly as it was difficult to figure out what creature the other was mixed with. The snake seemed to follow his orders so he must be tougher than he looked Jax decided, gazing around the slight chaos of the cafeteria.
dada_dragon • 7 January 2014 at 2:41 AM
Ethan snatched an unused napkin from a table nearby and wet it with his water bottle. He wiped the blood off her arms and examined the scratch marks... He was surprised at how deep they were... This guy was serious...Aykay smiled at Ethan."He's lucky the fight didn't last longer or I would've...""Aykay... Not even funny. He was gonna destroy you." he said."Sheesh." she said, rolling her eyes. "I was joking. But you underestimate me. No, I wouldn't have won, but I'd have given him a run for his money."He grabbed another napkin and threw the old one in the trash. "I'm not underestimating you. You're underestimating him. A guy who doesn't mind fighting a girl usually plays dirty... And I suspect he's got venom on his side...""Noted." she said, then whispered. "What do you make of his companion there?..."Ethan looked over at the creepy boy."I think he's more dangerous than our snake friend..." he said seriously, keeping his voice down. "I get a bad vibe from him.""Me too." she said.If he made Aykay uneasy... Aykay who was unfazed by giant Eytan and deadly snake boy... Then he figured he should keep his distance...@jupiter_hollow@xoxo5959@cutebirdy79@epicthings451@glazzie
jupiter_hollow • 7 January 2014 at 7:05 PM
@cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @xoxo5959 Hey guys, you there?-Sorry guys, 'm kinda out of it... @carter @dada_Dragon-Draco pulled his hand away and rested his elbow back onto its previous place on his knees. His eyebrows were still drawn back in confusion, but he narrowed them lightly, showing slight wariness and curious worry. What had gotten into the kid?Yeah, it was obvious that he was spooked, but not particularly about the fight. He looked lost for some reason - the little startle he'd given him confirmed that. Sam hadn't been here at all, it seemed, as the boy looked around in confusion"You look freaked out." he noted the obvious. Sam was shaking like a leaf and he petted his hair briefly, and perhaps a little roughly, forgetting to measure his weight after the bloody battle."Don't really blame ya." His gaze strayed to Teddy's wounds again and he breathed out a chuckle. Maybe the kid was afraid of blood? "She'll live though."Leaning over his knees, he heaved out a mouthfull of blood, clearing his throat with a small cough and leaning back.-In the meanwhile, Alexin had already broken into a light trott towards the stairs, stopping briefly only to nod at a warning Eytan issued out. After following his white form up the stairs, the vulture turned back to narrow his eyes at the toxic parahuman and begin the long interrogation (he admitted to being curious of the kid that had so easily reigned in the snake) but found him a few feet away, standing right behind Ethan and looking up with a blank face and wide eyes.
dada_dragon • 7 January 2014 at 8:36 PM
Ethan suddenly realized that Aykay’s gaze had shifted and that she was now staring at something right behind him. He turned to see that the creepy kid was right behind him, staring at him. He stood perfectly still, not taking his eyes off the boy. He wasn’t sure what it was about this kid, but he felt as though he was looking into the eyes of a predator. Not that anything he did was particularly threatening, but something about the way he stared gave Ethan the distinct impression that this kid wasn’t afraid of anything… and for a good reason.Aykay was looking the boy over, trying to figure out why she felt so threatened by him. He wasn’t that strong-looking or imposing in size like Eytan. He wasn’t aggressive like the snake guy… Then what was it?“What do you want?” she asked, not quite as confidently as usual. “Come to apologize for your friend there?”She felt differently giving attitude to this one… Like she was poking a hornet’s nest. What was it about this guy that bothered her so much?@jupiter_hollow@carter@xoxo5959@epicthings451@glazzie
xoxo5959 • 7 January 2014 at 9:11 PM
@jupiter_hollow Ehh there was the fight and I just didn't feel like posting (-_-) @dada_dragon @carter @epicthings451 @cutebirdy79---Nick sat and looked to Alice "She's probably thinking about something. It usually happens when Avery's in a deep thought." he replied and took a bite of his sandwich. A sudden pop made his ear twitch.Avery jolted out of her deep thought by a loud pop noise hat echoed through the cafeteria. She turned to see That snake guy and another girl which she is yet to know her name. Avery watched in horror, wishing she could do something. Yet she knew she would either end up dead or in the hospital. The polar bear parahuman squirmed in his grip, Avery took notice on her facial expression of how much pain she was in. The feline felt her stomach churn as she thought of being in her position. Nick tried to ignore the fight. The commotion made him feel unconformable for the snake was the one in the fight along with a polar bear. He felt sorry for himself since he will have to deal with him later. Nick ate his food, looking down, away from the fight Finally the fight was over yet the feline sat silently. The snake left that girl in a pretty bad shape. The blood gushing out of her arm gave Avery made a chill run up her spine. Her tail flicked around uncomfortably. She took a sip of her coke, hoping it can wash down the terrible thoughts.
carter • 8 January 2014 at 9:29 PM
@Jupiter_Hollow @xoxo5959 @cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @glazzie @dada_dragon---Samuel looked back at Draco as he spoke. "Sorry, I'm fine." His words were somewhat of a lie and he forced a smile at the snake. The smile soon faded as the other coughed up blood. "Are you okay?" The worry was clear in his voice as he cared a little more for the acquaintance over the bleeding stranger, even though he was concerned for both. Still slightly afraid to ask what had happened as the event seemed to take place right before his eyes and Sam was unsure how he had missed it. With a glance back at the girl with bleeding arms he wondered if it would scar, the thought reminding himself of the marks littered across his own skin and he frowned slightly. Finally gathering the courage to ask the obvious, embarrassed for the question he spoke in a hushed voice to Draco. "What...exactly happened?"
jupiter_hollow • 9 January 2014 at 9:18 PM
Notice: My 'a' key works seldom. xD So pologies if I miss some As.@carter-"What?"Draco raised an eyebrow (for the umptieth time that day) as the boy switched through a set of emotions - an Jesus Christ he could swear he was surrounded by drama queens. This particular one, however, called up some sympathy inside him, insted of full blown annoyance, which, despite his initial amusement, always figurated in the rainbow of feelings he himself experienced during the conversations with said drama queens. This kid seemed genuinely confused and also scared for some reason.Not only that, figures - that reason wasn't the fight, since Sam hadn't seen any of it, apparently. Furthermore, he was actually worred about him. The last baffled him the most.He shook his head."'m fine. C'mon kid." he mumbled and stood up, waving an arm to indicate his chosen direction - food, obviously. He bet he could easily stomach a few particularly big rats as well.Ah, such a well-timed pun, and after he'd beat the crap out of its author!A chuckle made it past his blood-caked lips before he'd raised a hand to wipe his upper lip, deciding to coveniently leave the lower one stained crimson; since blood was sure to make his sweet smiles even more welcoming. No point in wiping either ways, the taste of copper was already sealed in his mouth. Had some inner mouth cavity bleeding that filled the space uner his tongue with the liqiud and he had to periodically swallow - the damned process was terrible, considering he disliked the tste of blood, as ironically opposed to his splice animal.He swallowed. Looked behind himself and whiplashed his head towards the directon of the food so Sam could hurry up and follow."C'mon kid, I'll tell you along the way."-@dada_Dragon-While it wasn't exactly fear he detected, rsenic figured he could settle for wariness fairly well. Both bears didn't seem prone to fear anyway, though he'd noticed 'Ethan's ultimate reluctance to participate in the fight on his sister's behalf or, at the very least, do so to spare her the excess pain... Furthermore, the boy did look stronger and much-level headed, which was to imply, more intelligent. Meant he was smart enough to be afraid of Draco's fists, and, logically, by yours truly's general self.Arsenic did look more mentally unstable...His face had split into a sweet, but overly stretched smile ever since he'd heard a mention of himself amongst the conversation. Eyes wide - curious-looking on their own, but, coupled with his narrowed face and set eyebrows, they acquired an honest to god creepy stare. He raised his chin soon, head tipping to one side, then coming to rest on the other, eyes squinting upon falling onto the beaten girl, then widening dramatically at Ethan.Funny thing was, he had never felt the need to pretend in order to intimidate someone. Tended to scare everyone away on his own - sad, though he took great pride in that seamless ability of his. His insanity had a lot to do with it."Olive won't apologize for wanting to kill you." he informed the girl, then let out a quiet giggle. "I do too. You're a very nosy rat."
dada_dragon • 10 January 2014 at 2:37 AM
Aykay did not know how to react to this boy. She was ultimately confused by her reluctance to stand her ground against this guy... With tough guys like the snake, there was strength against strength and whoever was the strongest won. She knew that playing field and how to fight those kind of battles. Win or lose, she knew what she was doing.But this guy wasn't strong. He wasn't physically imposing at all. There was nothing, save perhaps that creepy grin of his, that should have put her on edge like this.Ethan looked over at Aykay. She had a look in her eye that he didn't understand. She was usually so confident..."Tell your friend to back off..." he said quietly, surprising even himself. "Tell him if he has a shred of honour in him, he'll leave her alone, because I will not tolerate it."Aykay looked at him, confused. Why was he so bold all of a sudden? It wasn't as though he was the confrontational type...@jupiter_hollow @carter @xoxo5959 @glazzie @epicthings451
jupiter_hollow • 10 January 2014 at 1:27 PM
@dada_dragon-The toxic boy angled his face towards Ethan with a 90 degree turn and a tip to the left and upwards - it partially irked him that he had to look at the boy from below, despite being used to looming heights (courtesy of one Draco Olivieh). Still, the dude made Arsenic want to kick his knees from underneath him. As well as the girl's big mouth made him want to sew it shut. Preferably with a blunt, serrated needle. And maybe some acid to go with it... He hoped it wouldn't clash too much with the newly acquired scars - tsk, he hated an ugly contrast...Focus. Focus.He registered the tall boy's words. Noticed his sister's baffled look. A surprise for her, he guessed. The little one was far too enclosed in her own pride, anger and, may he say, arrogance, to pay any attention to her deeply caring older brother who spent a majority of his time chasing her tail - he could guess by their visibly different demeanours. She looked bold, dismissive, non-caring. He, on the other hand, did not. He actually looked the type of an ever-worrying bigger sibling and fit the description well - even now he stood against his shamed and beaten sister's enemy (however small it was). While the girl was stupid enough to think her sibling so shallow as to remain calmly inactive in the event of her endangering, he himself could see the depth of his care.What a loving brother he was, Arsenic mused with a gentle smile."I like you." he exclaimed, smiling toothily. "You're worth keeping alive. Unless you do that again. Don't you know your sister started the fight? Very undignified."
dada_dragon • 10 January 2014 at 1:49 PM
"Yeah, I know." he said, giving Aykay a look. "And I'll keep her under control if you do the same with your friend... I know you're able to."He remembered the way the snake had backed away from the fight as soon as the kid had shown up... What was this kid capable of? Even the snake guy seemed wary of him...Ethan held out his hand to him. "Deal?"@jupiter_hollow
jupiter_hollow • 10 January 2014 at 2:02 PM
@dada_dragon-Arsenic nodded."I'll keep Olive from killing anybody." he promised, raising a hand towards the boy. Instead of taking Ethan up on the handshake offer, he curved a pinky towards him."Pinky swear you'll keep Mrs Rat from doing anything undignified." He tipped his head to the left, giving Ethan an unamused look (hardly achievable thanks to his wide eyes, but he still managed to seem as nonchalant as possible). "It upsets me."

~8:00~Julie and Luke just ignored the fact that there had been a fight going on in the cafeteria. Except, they did take note that there was blood.After a few moments of boredom, Julie got up. "I'm gonna go back to my dorm, it's getting kinda late." Julie said to Luke and walked out of the cafeteria and headed back towards her dorm. When Julie finally reached her dorm, she immediately went into the bathroom and took a shower; turning on the warm water.Luke got up and walked over to get himself some pepsi and then sat back down. He didn't seem to be tired. --@jupiter_hollow @dada_dragon @carter @xoxo5959 @glazzie
dada_dragon • 10 January 2014 at 11:02 PM
Ethan thought the very idea of a pinky swear was ridiculous, but this guy was so serious... He held out his own pinky and hooked it on his. Making contact with this guy gave him the chills."Pinky swear." He agreed, breaking the contact as soon as he was able. "I'll hold up my end of the bargain so long as you do."He looked into the kid's eyes. There was something about the way he looked at people... He just couldn't put his finger on it..."My name's Ethan, by the way." He said, trying to shake off the chills with an attempt at cutting the tension he felt. "And the rat is Aykay."Aykay snapped out of her stupor to glare at him."What?" He asked. "I think it suits you... You go around nipping at peoples' heels and you're surprised when you get stomped. Like a rat."She crossed her arms and walked back to her dorm. He smiled a little. She would be fine... She just needed a bit of time to 'lick her wounds' so to speak...@jupiter_hollow@epicthings451@glazzie@carter@xoxo5959
glazzie • 10 January 2014 at 11:12 PM
@jupiter_hollowSorry for my late-ness. ^^" To make up for it, I spent a while whipping this one up, tried my best.--The winged boy didn't notice her at all at first. But, soon, his mind registered someone making contact with him. Of course, his immediate reaction was pulling his hand back.Was this someone trying to help? He didn't know.The words she spoke were slurred together in his mind, making a blurry jumble of syllables he could not understand. Strider could not think. He couldn't think. Strider was not thinking. He couldn't remember how. He didn't even feel the pain of his talons digging into his own skin. He was shut off to the world.The only thing he could feel was fear. He knew one thing, and that was how scared he was. Strider couldn't make out why. Things were so unclear. Like a puzzle without any connecting pieces. Why bother trying to put it together if there's no possible way to? That was it. That was the feeling.Pointlessness. Seconds dragged on for hours, minutes on for days. And he felt nothing. It was dulled over. There wasn't much left in him to give.Numb. Strider's sobs and trembles soon died, but he remained looking down into nothing. Nothing. There was nothing. He couldn't find a spark to light himself back up. He was drained and done. Disconnected. He couldn't explain it. It was like falling back into black. There was nothing else to it. Strider had stumbled backwards, engulfed by fear, but a dry fear. A fear of his past, a fear of his future. A fear of another breakdown. A fear of dealing with himself. This had marked his second breakdown in a day. Too much, too many. Enough to shut him down. Enough to stop his thoughts from flowing, to stop him from expressing. To freeze him in the moment. Like he was on pause. Strider had gone off the board completely. He did not realize the person there. He did not realize anything. He was locked down on himself. For a few minutes, for an hour, maybe for a day or more. There was no telling.Broken.

@Jupiter_Hollow @xoxo5959 @cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @glazzie @dada_dragon---Samuel looked away for a moment, embarrassed for his question as the other seemed to not understand how he had suddenly missed everything. Its not like the K9 could blame him though, he didn't understand it himself. Not questioning the other further he followed the snake in a lost-puppy sort of way, still focused on trying to understand what had just happened, why it happened, and where his mind just went. Finally he remembered the reason for coming to the cafeteria. Food. Sam tried to keep him stomach from growling as he hadn't had much to eat today, mostly from being nervous about Lehigh which was slightly odd as the parahuman normally just ran headfirst into things without over thinking. Sometimes this was literal though as in the past he's ran into quite a few unmoving objects. That also made Sam question, What was wrong with himself today? Completely spacing out at a time where one would think that impossible and over thinking school, the day wasn't even over yet. -Jax's eyes followed the Snake and Dog parahumans for a moment, finding the two an odd pair. The bully and stereotype dog actually getting along. It made him wonder how the little guy hadn't been thrown around like the girl had. The end of his long tail flicked as he wanted to know more about the strange characters around him though he was to tired to put forth the effort and soon began to leave the cafeteria. Once outside he started walking back to the boy's dorms, hoping not to get lost on the way as he wasn't completely familiar with the school's layout just yet. Jax yawned as he went, almost wishing he had stayed in his warm bed instead of going to the cafeteria earlier.
jupiter_hollow • 11 January 2014 at 6:39 PM
@glazzie It's alright hon. *huggles* You always do great.-She kicked off the black patent leather stilettos and ripped the pantyhose on the heels and pillows of her feet so the material wouldn't hinder her walking or make her slip; then wrapped her arms firmly around the heap of shivering limbs that had stopped its responding reactions alltogether. The wide unfocused eyes and choppy breathing made her get a faster move on. She tugged him close, propping his body against herself, then slid an arm around his back and another under his legs. She spent some time trying to find her footing while supporting the avian's wing-weighted body but eventually managed to lift him up properly and clutched him to her chest.The boy had been left in the middle of the hallway, or had either happened to freak out there (for unknown reasons), so, evidently, there was no time or effort spared to find anyone capable of calming him down. Whoever it was that scared the poor thing like this obviously wouldn't want to help him. She scoffed, a growl exiting her lips as she turned the corner and nearly lost her balance - said sound was partially due to her anger as well. Her aching feet were slowing her down and she paused periodically on her way along the hallway."Hold on honey." she urged, knowing full well he couldn't hear her at all. That didn't stop her, however.Minutes later she was in front of the medical office, kicking the door angrily. She'd begun rushing with renewed fervor when the boy grew cold in her arms, hypothermia taking it's toll. His body had stopped producing sweat and the avian remained clammy and cold despite the shivers."Open up Garett!" she barked at the rushing man on the other side of the door just as he swung the door open with a disapproving stare prepared. That changed rather quickly.Instead of an irked teacher, like he'd expected, he was welcomed by the sight of a colossus of a woman carrying young boy in her arms. And while she looked ridiculous - clad in her black suit jacket and the ripped pencil skirt, shoeless and with the sleeves rolled up, Garett could've sworn she resembled liberty herself.He threw the avian one look and stepped out of his superiors way."He's gone into shock. Low blood pressure and he's cold as ice. Get blankets." she instructed, answering the question written all over the medic's face. He rushed to preparations, speaking to her over his shoulder while rummaging for medical supplies."Boy's gonna suffocate himself to death. He needs a sedative, Delia."The woman gritt her teeth. "Don't you dare." she hollered upon noticing the syringe in his hands. Looming over the boy on the berth she'd placed his body on, Delia stroked his hair, fiery eyes trained on the man. "This boy was literally freaking out when I found him. He's not only hyperventilating - his H2O levels are extremely low; clammy skin, rapid heartbeat, shivering, shallow breaths, ring a bell Garett? We sedate him, he dies of hypothermia! And while injecting aggressive intravenous fluids will improve the blood pressure, he'll faint if he keeps breathing this unevenly..."The man had paused with a syringe and bottle of sedative in hand, defeatedly looking upon the woman. He let out a sigh, throwing a gander at Strider, who Delia was holding tightly against her chest with his head propped up."Intravenous fluids then?" he mumbled quietly, returning to the medical cabinet when he received a nod."And maybe an inhalor if you have one laying around. His panic attack is pretty similar to asthma at this stage."He smiled."I'll go look for one at the back." Garett rolled the IV pole to the boy's berth, handing Delia the Fluid Administration equipment and hurrying outside as fast as his old joints could carry him.With a gasp of exhaustion, Alexin flung himself past the last step and scrambled onto the second floor at frightening velocity, nearly running into the wall opposite. He whirred around, then scanned the hallway thoroughtly for the black-winged parahuman, fuirtless in his search."Strider!" the sound resonated all around, only earning him a distant shout of disapproval from one of the dorm hallways."Strider!"He checked the female and male sections, finding nothing but continuing along other halls until he was hopeless and back where he started. Just as he was considering the idea of checking every dorm unil he found Strider's room, the slam of a door caught his attention.For a moment they locked eyes - the hecticly rushing man with an armful of medical supplies and the boy with the tear-filled red eyes. they stared at each other, not a moment long, before both came to a mutual realization and resumed their actions.Alexin rushed forward, now knowing full well what lied behind that door, but still his reaction was no less heartbroken upon barging in and seeing the parahuman on a berth."Strider." he whimpered, running to the boy's side despite the fiery-haired woman's shouts of protest."what are you-" she cut herself short as the white child gathered her patient into his arms and embraced him fully, trying to transfer as much heat from his body as possible.---@carter Snake mama Draco x'DDD I just can't.-He trudged towards the food, licking his lips (off the blood) lightly upon seeing the variety of meat there. He wasn't all that keen on the actual food as he was on sitting down and resting his creaking joints. If anything, the chewing would make his jaw ache even more, though he decided a nice dinner without any interruptions (sans maybe Sam, but he was a mildly pleasant one) beat all.He paused in front of the displayed goods, cocking a hip and resting a hand on it, then tipped his head to the side in criticizing judgement of the food. Not everything was crap - but most of it was, to be perfectly honest. The choice of desert was insultingly not that wide and all drinks were canned. He stuck a forked tongue out, picking up some pasta and a steak, then spinning on his heel and swiping up a soda on his way past the vending machine."We had a fight." he said, turning to face the dog parahuman he suddenly seemed to recall was following him, then motioned towards the food out of topic. "You gettin' some of that? ...Anyways, kid, we threw some fists and I scratched the chick up a little."At this he waved a dismissive hand, as if Teddy (or Aykay, as he'd overheard) was going to recover from the murderous attack with a minimal amount of short term scratches and temporary bruises and not a lifelong scars."Nothin' to worry about."---@dada_dragon-"Arsenic" the boy replied with a wide dimple-ridden smile. For once his eyebrows weren't exaggeratedly drawn up and the wideye was slightly lacking, so his expression neared normalcy - this was the very best he could do."And that's Draco." he motioned, then tipped his head to the side at the boy. He seemed to be observing Arsenic with curiosity and a fair amoutn of wariness. Then again, the toxic parahuman couldn't blame him.He truly was a peculiar sight, Arsenic.His striking whiteness was ghastly despite the pearly hue of his skin - every crevisse was accentuated by a deep shadow, result of his malnourishment and every insomnia ridden night. The oil slick curls fit his face with surprising gentleness, blending in with the pallid complexion despite their obsidian color. Only his eyes contrasted. The calming pale hue of his emerald irises stuck out amidst the dark dips of hollow cheekbones and sunken in eyesockets. They would have been beautifully, gorgeously normal on their own, but on the background of his deadman face, behind black curls and often glaring underneath the arches of dark eyebrows, his eyes looked piercing, damning; capable of delving deeper into one's mind than humanly possible, tugging on what they found, turning inside out and spilling the contents of one's mind on the bare ground before his feet.And it all seemed so frighteningly easy for him - an inborn damnation.He smiled."Are you hungry, Ethan?" He extended a hand towards the boy, beckoning for him to take the lead and escort him to dinner. He glanced at Ethan with wide pallid eyes.For someone so small, he was capable of looking so very loomingly tall... and he knew that well.---@cutebirdy79 @epicthings451-Safely tucked behind the large crowd, Misha remained very much curled into himself, now with his head hung lower, firetruck red ears nearly flat on his head. They twitched periodically, straining to detect any other sounds while he looked only at his food and nothing else.The fight that had went on seemed to have scared the boy out of his mind and he now attempted to maintain a calm, but protective position.Perhaps climbing off of hs suitcase would reduce his size, but he was even more reluctant to leave his belongings.(WHEEZE)

@Jupiter_Hollow @Rilla @xoxo5959 @cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @glazzie @dada_dragon---The K9 parahuman followed Draco and gathered food for himself as well. "Looked like more than a few scratches" He mumbled softly as his tail swished behind him. "Why did you guys fight anyway? And I can't not worry about it , You're my friends" Sam glanced around the Cafeteria, pale blue eyes stopping briefly on each parahuman and he wondered why a red fox among them looked so uneasy. 'Maybe it was the fight?' He thought to himself as he continued following the snake. Samuel's eyes eventually found a clock and he remembered the school had a scheduled but couldn't remember much of it. -Forests were quiet places, peaceful and calm with the sounds of birds and other animals that lived there. A boy walked through the trees, his steps were almost silent as he smiled softly, there was a school nearby that he was suppose to be attending but he'd fled to the shelter of the woods as the large building of people made him nervous. Deciding not to put himself through that just yet he'd been adventuring for hours through the forest near the grounds apparently used to ride horses. He ducked under a low branch, careful to keep his antlers from hitting the tree. A small puff of a tail flicked slightly as a bird flew over head,the sudden flutter of wings catching his attention for a moment before he began walking through the trees once again, ears angling slightly towards the sounds around him.

@carter @rilla Hey there =3-"Psh" Draco exclaimed, waving a dismissive hand. Yeah, the scratches were a whole lot, he had to admit. And he kind of regretted nothing, but eh, playing it innocent was more fun. There was always some tiny little cute justice-seeker trying to prove him wrong. Lassie was definitely more fun than anybody else in the room. so instead of defending his pride and good will, like usually, he just exclaimed in mockery and waved a hand around. He bet the kid would take whatever he said anyway."We didn't fight, Lass. Teddy Bear just patted my jaw and I kind of gave her arms a massage, no harm done." he shrugged, grinning toothily. "Woah now, no friendo. Who said we reached the friend stage yet little man?"
rilla • 12 January 2014 at 2:26 PM
@carter @jupiter_hollow hiaaaaaaa ^u^Ady hung upside down from a large tree branch and sighed. There was no one to play with out in the woods, the birds always flew away and the squirrels were just simply no fun at all. There was always the school she should have attended this morning though. There were bound to people there she could play with, right? She was just so afraid of making a fool of herself or simply ignored by everyone that it felt better to hide in the forest so like the one she called her home.Knowing she could avoid it no longer Ady let out another soft sigh and dropped from the tree, flipping to land safely on her feet. Completely absorbed by her worries she hadn't even noticed the person walking through the woods...and of course standing right under her when she fell. "Owie." she said, rubbing a sore spot on her head "Sorry i fell on you."
carter • 12 January 2014 at 2:45 PM
@Jupiter_Hollow @Rilla Hey meh ppl 😸 @xoxo5959 @cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @glazzie @dada_dragon---Samuel frowned at the other's rejecting words. "Well, I've been following you around and you haven't decided to hurt me yet, kinda" His lightly folded ears drooped slightly and his tail completely stopped wagging. "I might not be your friend, but you are mine" Sam smiled though, despite being slightly saddened. "Everyone's my friend, and you're an everyone even if you fight people." His own words reminded him of someone he couldn't quite recall but his smiled remained anyway. The K9 attempted to change the subject "Why do you call me Lassie though? Wasn't she a collie? I don't exactly look like a collie last time I checked."-"Ow..." Arden groaned as the girl fell on top of him, his head hitting the ground giving him a headache. The deer looked at the small girl and rubbed his head with one hand, using the other to support himself on his elbow. Arden looked up at the tree she'd just come from and gave a slightly confused glance and looked back at her. "Its okay, I guess...But, who are you?" He asked, offering a slight chuckle as they both held their heads. "And why were you up there?" Questions again, giving another glance at the tree, slightly surprised he hadn't noticed her.
rilla • 12 January 2014 at 3:08 PM
@carter"I'm Ady", the girl said smiling and holding out her hand for a handshake. "I was in the tree because-" she faltered for a second, her smile dropping into a small frown as she thought about avoiding the chance of being rejected by her soon to be schoolmates. "I was feeling a little homesick." She lied, hoping it sounded convincing. "But I decided it was time to go in so I jumped down...and didn't even notice you. Sorry." She hopped up, (not that it made her that much taller) a smile on her face, hoping that this chance in counter could turn into a friendship. Her first friend at her new school.
jupiter_hollow • 12 January 2014 at 3:08 PM
@carter Heyoooooh xD @rilla @glazzie C'mon Liz, welcome the new chracters. =3 @xoxo5959 @epicthings451 We have about seven people to ping, adding possiby another person as well. xD Idk if she'll join though. so all in all, SO MANY PEOPLE X'D And like, can I get a woot woot for this RP because it's the best?-Draco shrugged, raising an eyebrow as he lowered himself down onto the nearest table and setting the food in front of himself, already chewing on a steak."No reason to, kid. Chick was asking for it, on the other hand." he mused aloud, gulping down the bite with some soda before continuing."Mh, guess that's alright, but no clingy, alright?" His voice was barely audible past the food in his mouth but he managed out the sentence, then swallowed. "You're blonde, justice-driven and cute - Lassie. Now eat."
carter • 12 January 2014 at 3:43 PM
@Jupiter_Hollow woot woot .3. @Rilla @xoxo5959 @cutebirdy79 @epicthings451 @glazzie @dada_dragon---Arden gave a small smile at the girl's name though noticing her smile fall. "Its okay, I guess this is our new home now." He said with a shrug, gathering himself up to stand and realizing that Ady was tiny. It'd been a while sense he had to look down at someone and it felt kind of strange being tall. "Yeah...Not a lot of people notice me right away but its alright." He said with an air of shyness in his voice as people normally noticed his horns before his actual self. Arden looked up to pick a leaf from his antlers, despite not being able to see the top of his head as he completely forgot to introduce himself.-He sat next to Draco, a bit close to the other but Sam didn't seem to mind. "What do you mean she was asking for it?" He asked slightly confused on why anyone would ask to fight. "And does cuddling and hugs count as clingy?" Samuel smiled, pale tail beginning to wag again. "I'm justice-driven? I am not cute or Lassie." He grumbled, picking up strands of his hair as the other pointed out its color not realizing he would be considered blonde but eventually started to eat as he was told.
rilla • 12 January 2014 at 3:58 PM
@carter woot lookie you've got 2,000 posts *throws confetti* 😃As the deer boy stood Ady's face went from smiling to big eyed awe "wowwww you're tall" she said craning her neck back slightly to look at him. "I can't believe i actually knocked you down when i..er, fell on you haha" she blushed a little, feeling embarrassed. "Your horns are really cool too. I wish i had something neat like that, but all i have are these ears and a tail" as she said it her ears twitched as if alerted they were being talked about and her tail swished into view. She walked a few steps past him, towards the school's stable yard. Despite her growing nervousness she looked back and smiled "C'mon Bambi lets go get something to eat, I'm starving!" She grabbed his hand and started to skip to where she hoped the cafeteria was.

~8:15~Julie walked out of the bathroom in her pjs with her wet hair wrapped up in a towel. Hot steam poured out of the open bathroom. She climbed up the small latter to the top bunk and sprawled herself out.After a few moments of just staring at the ceiling, Julie decided to get into some fresh clothes and get out of her dorm, considering that she wasn't tired yet. But first, she blow dried her hair and returned its natural waves. Then she got up and changed into an outfit like this:(ignore the bracelets) http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/14/ca/69/14ca69f98aedc6fe0de150b6dd32d39b.jpgAfter putting on her boots, Julie walked out into the hallway.--And I honestly don't know what to do for Luke XD--Sorry I haven't posting guys. I had some cray-cray hard home work, if you know what I mean XP@rilla Welcome to de role play!!!!! ^-^@carter @jupiter_hollow @glazzie @dada_dragon
