Introduce Your Characters (Part 15)

oof school indeed

Hota: “I mean really, Eve’s outdone herself.” Hota reaches to run their hand through her hair. “It’s remarkable, actually. Come, let’s have a look, huh?”

Sen: “Yeah, the big international tournament is happening in Atepsi tomorrow. I’m just hitching a ride from Tagif–as I normally do."

:joy:

Anansi: “It’s like… imagine your heart isn’t beating so they hook you up to a machine to make it beat for you.” She looks at Yessei. “That’s a pretty good explanation, isn’t it?”

Yessei: “Very brief,” she admits.

Przygoda jumps out…and nearly smacks into Casus :eyes:

Pearl is still looking around :eyes:

June nods a bit.

“I-”

She gets interupped by a chime, pulls out a phone that loosely resembles a rock, frowns, mutters something about telling Scar not to text while she’s busy, and proceeds to ignore the alert.

I’ve been taking classes and I hate homework XD

Eve warms under their touch. “Thanks,” she whispers.

The group follows and Lockie spots a white plant.

“That’s a ghost plant!” Eve says happily and links her hand between Hota’s.

Gio asks how she knows so much about plants and she just smiles XD.

“So, I’m sorry, what was your name again?” Jordane taps Hota on the back from behind like a creep.

Pat: “Ah, cool. Anyway, so you said you could help me, right? :eyes:

Heather: “We’ve got magic, so learning about human necessities sometimes eludes us :sweat_smile:.”

XD

Mo tugs on his arm with a meep. “You both alright?” She rubs her own head with the thought of how much it hurts to hit it against another.

Eve suddenly pops up next to Pearl. “What’s interesting you?” Eve looks at the rock. “What are you doing?”

Casus nods.

“Yeah, I’m good,” Przygoda responds.

Pearl finally looks up.

“What-”

June blinks.

“Oh, Scar texted, I told him before not to text when I’m busy.”

“Hi, I’m Monáe!” she says to Pyzygoda all chipper and extending her hand.

“You can text on a rock?” Eve reaches out to touch the thing curiously.

Hota turns around and chuckles (while Eve is presumably answering her question haha). “Call me Hota, please.” They smile. “Remind me yours?”

Sen: “I hope I can help you,” he answers.

Anansi: “It’s mom’s fault that we even have magic to begin with,” Anansi whispers, half-growling.

Yessei: “She’s right,” Yessei confirms. “But… you know. I guess living with non-magical beings for so long makes us both a little more knowledgeable about it.”

Przygoda introduces herself and goes to shake her hand.

June nods.

“It’s our version of phones, basically.”

Pearl walks up behind her to look over her shoulder.

“Wonder why Scar texted,” she says.

“Jordane.” She smiles while Eve is being a plant mom and answering all of Heather’s annoying questions on the plants because no green thumb.

He smiles and asks for him to hold out his wrist, probably sounding like a creepy stereotypical vamp XD.

Heather meeps at Anansi’s growl.

Eric: “yeah, we mostly stayed away from humans growing up because the vampires used them as slaves.”

Mo shakes it happily. “Your brother was having bad dreams about you. He was really worried.”

“How does that work?” Eve blinks. “And maybe he’s trying to find you both?”

Casus proceeds to become very interested in the sky :eyes:

Przygoda looks at him.

“Oh? Were you worried about me?” she teases.

“Some kind of magic, but it only works if the rock is shaped like a phone…it’s kind of strange,” Pearl explains.

June goes back to look at the alert, then blinks.

“Geez, there’s, like, ten messages here! I should probably call back instead of sending a text…”

:eyes: Casus is an unusual one XD.

Mo smiles and asks Przygoda if she’s hungry. “He said you like bacon on your meat sandwiches.” Mo happily extends the little package of food she’s thrown in her crossbody bag. Then, she begins to take out her drawing tablet.

“You get better reception over by the dionee muscipula.” Eve points to the insect-eater by a bright window. “Pearl, would you like to see something?” she asks suddenly.

Hota: “Nice to meet you, Jordane, glad you’re here.” They smile. “I hope you’re enjoying yourself here.”

Eve plant mom!

Sen tilts his head with curiousity and sticks out his wrist.

Yessei: “She’s not mad at you,” she whispers to Heather.

Anansi: “That’s… well, I can barely get humans to do what I ask normally.”

Bestest plant mom! (insert all the best plant and flower emojis here)

Jordane: “So, I’m curious…” She looks at Eve and then back at Hota “Where do your ogres live here?” she mistakenly asks after thinking Eve is totally a green ogre whose is just good with plants XD.

Pat grabs it and starts checking how strong his pulse is like a creeper XD. “You don’t happen to release any toxins, do you?”

Heather whispers back to Yessei: “Still scary O.O.”

Eric: “Oh yeah, free-thinking beings tend to do that.” He laughs. “Anyway, I’m ready. Portal?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Heather rolls her eyes and opens one up. “Your chariot,” she scoffs at her brother.

“Oh, yes, thanks!” Przygoda says and reaches to take it, then glances at the tablet curiously.

June nods and begins walking over there, while Pearl looks up with a smile.

“Sure!” Pearl says.

Mo lets her have the food happily and her hand moves over the tablet quickly while she lightly teases Casus some, “No happy hug for your sister?" She glances up from the tablet for a moment at him.

The plants are all closed tightly like they’ve just been fed… :eyes:

Eve walks around a corner and tells Pearl to close her eyes.

Casus awkwardly goes to hug Przygoda, who in turn clings to him like he’s about to bolt :eyes:

June fiddles with the rock while glancing at the plants.

Pearl does so.

Hota: “Ogres? Oh, Eve isn’t an ogre.” They chuckle. “No, we don’t have ogres here. I guess Luwzerij is the closest thing.”

Sen tilts his head. “No. Why?”

Yessei snickers. “Yes I’m ready, too, and we can portal.” She waves a free hand and a portal opens. “I think this is the place.”

“Aww, cute! This reminds me of my brother.” Mo smiles.“And done!” She quickly turns around her tablet and it’s a cute picture of the pair hugging.

The plants don’t do anything… But there is a strange clinging sound coming from a corner…

“This is the section where the rarest species reside. These are some.of.my favorites, ghost flowers.” Eve beams and shows off the white rarities.

“Wait… But she’s green and works with plants…” Lockie blinks.

Gio:“Yeah, that’s typical orge stuff back home.”

“cool, then I’ll just take a little snack if you don’t mind. Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen.” Pat grins and quickly brings (I’m assuming unwilling sen’s) wrist to his mouth and sharp fangs pick the skin for blood…

:eyes:

“I’ve never taken you.there.” Heather giggles.“But that looks right.” She pecks Yessei’s cheek.

“You’re both better than me. My magic is horrible, I always end up getting lost.” Eric blushes through a smile. “Alright, let’s go!”

Przygoda beams at the picture while Casus looks embarrassed but still smiles :eyes:

June pauses, then cautiously starts walking over to the sound.

“Oh, those are so pretty,” Pearl breathes.

“You’re both adorable.” Mo winks happily.“Where we’re you headed again?” She looks at Pryzgoda again.

Something… Yep, that’s definitely something mooing…

“Thank you. I have a whole section of rare beauties,” she continues her totally not purposeful distraction. :eyes:
