To Nathan and Rashida, Isaac Hughes gave a brief, sidelong glance. As charismatic as he came off in his public appearances, often speaking so passionately without pause about what he believed in, it seemed that it didn't extend quite as much when he wasn't on a stage. Still, he tried as best as...

"C'mon, up you get," Ayako grunted, helping Ann back to her feet as the jocular air of the festival was quickly replaced with a tense unease. As she, Ann, and Dakari stood before the scene, instigated by one Arthur. The young woman stared quietly at the scene with narrowed eyes. If this were...

"Bad language?" Ayako snorted incredulously at Ann's persistent virtuous personality. "Sorry about that. I guess I just fuck up all the time," she said flatly with a self-satisfied smirk. Her sharp demeanor quickly faded away however as Dakari went and came back with some pretzels. With a...

"Urk--" Ayako blinked as the private(?) conversation between herself and Dakari was rudely interrupted by Ann. The girl didn't necessarily dislike Ann; perhaps she was the closest she had to a friend, but they were very different in a few inconsolable ways. One of them seemed to be that only one...

Ayako paused for a moment as Dakari seemed to actually take her up on her stuffed bear quip, looking away for a brief moment before clearing her throat. "Yes, well, when you don't have a lot of luck on hand, best not to push it too far. Unless you really want to, then... I wouldn't stop you, I...

"Sure, whatever. Beats just standing here like a tool," Ayako grunted at the prospect of getting food with Dakari, giving a noncommital shrug. It wasn't that she was particularly trying to be unfriendly if the boy would decide to interpret it that way; it was simply how she was. In the many...

"Haah?" Ayako uttered with a blink as Dakari approached her from the side, interrupting her... not stimulating fishing session. Her expression was initially cold and almost a bit inhospitable, but seemed to soften up a bit once she saw it was Dakari. Ayako's general personality had always...

"Oh, God... That takes care of one thing, at least," Ayako grunted, keeping her power active while her hand remained on the machine. Guess she'd have to just keep this on hand for the next few minutes. Fortunately, Ayako at this point had been trained enough in her power that she was able to...

"Tommy--!" Wu hissed out as the boy initially stepped forward to try talking down the Courser at the fountain. He was ready to scold the boy, but stopped himself as it almost seemed for a minute that his approach was going to work out. Almost. It was then that the burst of water came and...

"Luna or Scarlet, huh? Those don't sound very similar at all," Kylie lightly snarked, probably the friendliest exchange she'd engaged in her entire time at Aorki so far. Of course, before she could say anymore, someone else helped himself into the conversation, throwing off the flow. As a male...

"..." Kylie only remained silent for a moment as Luna went on, going from some sort of self-pitying to an almost grand speech about... something. Kylie didn't really know if she'd said anything to trigger this kind of response, but she quickly became a bit ill at ease. This girl was somewhere...

The opening felt a bit condescending for Kylie's taste, but as she listened to what the girl had to say to her, it was... still a bit jarringly assertive. Not that forward was necessarily a bad thing, even as the girl seemed to pride herself in being such, but it wasn't as though Kylie was in...

As Lethabo spoke, Kylie only gave him a silent, sidelong glance. Even if he believed it was sound advice, the girl never cared much for being lectured in general. Of course, that was the whole point of being at a school, but it wasn't like she particularly chose to be here. Then again, the girl...

"!" Without missing a beat, Kylie was ready to use Reinforcement to protect herself from the falling rubble before Lethabo elected to follow up his flashy maneuver with an equally dramatic one; summoning a dome to shield everyone. As the domes were dispelled seconds later, Kylie was seen...

"Tch!" Audibly clicking her tongue as Lethabo just barely managed to transport himself out of her grasp, Kylie probably should have figured that such a strategy wouldn't have easily worked, but hey, it was worth a shot anyway, right? "Yeah? Well, I learned a long time ago that the only way to...

The instant that Lethabo used his power to abruptly "attack" Eugene and initiate a surprise orientation lesson, Kylie, like perhaps some of the other students around, felt a degree of surprise at the sudden move. After all, on the first day for most other schools, nothing really happened; just a...

"..." Despite the man in the front seeming to try his best hand at humor or whatever he was attempting up there, Kylie's intense expression hardly changed, maintaining her serious gaze all the way through. And after that, Kylie's mien was certainly far from coerced as the man went on, changing...

Stuff it. Kylie's first thoughts came to fruition as the old woman's voice became heard to everyone. It was a reflex, an instinctive thought, the very first thing that came to her mind. A wish to reject the notion of these familiar rituals, getting to know one's own peers and teachers. It was...

Blank. At that immediate moment, Kylie's mind was blank. She paid little attention when the woman overseeing everything here made her speech, the girl too preoccupied with thinking about nothing. She could have thought of anything. How she was unceremoniously sent here without much consultation...

Kylie only kept looking forward even as Eugene continued to persist. He was a relentless bother, or so she found. And Kylie was just tired now. She was too tired to be any more angry or irritated than she already was, and as he continued to speak, his voice practically becoming white noise...
