Introduce Your Characters (Part 15)

Casus looks at one of the windows.

Pryzgoda tries not to squeal like a child.

Pearl glances at her.

June has an expression of realization and jumps up, grabbing the rock phone again.

“I need to call Scar so he doesn’t worry,” she says to Eve and Pearl.

Scar is pacing.

“I’ve texted June like, twenty times where-”

Red notices the thing catching the light and holds up his hand.

“Wait do you see that?” he asks.

Mo chuckles. “You like it? Do you have a preferred floor color? And are you broken?” she playfully teases Casus.

Eve offers her new friends some water because the greenhouse they’re in is pretty heated.

It passes by again! It’s like a very faint white light.

“I really like the color blue,” Pryzgoda says.

“No I’m not broken,” Casus says, startled.

They both thank her and June takes a sip as she fiddles with the rock, while Pearl drinks about a quarter of hers in the span of five seconds.

“What is that?” Scar asks.

“Do not charge at it,” Red warns.

“Oh, you were really quiet.” Mo tries to lighten the mood and tells Pryzgoda that they can head up to the second floor that’s blue. “That on is really calming, kind of like a beach. We can take the elevator.”

I mean, Pearl’s got the right idea Eve is… a particular danger… She’s kinda ditzy lol.

But Eve smiles so innocently and drinks with them.

Something giggles behind them. :eyes:

head’s up I’m probably sleeping soon, so tired.

“I was just thinking,” Casus says.

“Ooh there’s an elevator?” Pryzgoda asks.

:eyes:

Pearl smiles back.

June holds the rock up to her ear.

:eyes:

Scar doesn’t hear his rock ringing as he and Red both look around for the source of the giggling.

I totally didn’t fall asleep myself

“Yeah, come on.” Mo walks to show them the way and there’s a few interesting people roaming the halls, from your stereotypical teen cliche to adults that looked like they definitely modeled.

Eve watches happily, enjoying her time with her new friends.

Something catches the light again… And then someone walking past the two guys seems to bump into it and fall flat on their back.

“Dammit!” The guy curses some more with a hiss. The hoodie obscuring his face is tied around pretty tight, making it look like he has no features beside a nose and lips.

Casus and Pryzgoda follow, Pryzgoda wanting to basically talk to everyone she sees.

Pearl has one of her hands at her side :eyes:

June pulls the rock back.

“Hmm, this time Scar didn’t answer,” she says.

:eyes:

Red grabs Scar to keep him from being chaotic again, then looks at the guy.

“You ok?” he asks.

The people seem rather nice and one guy in a. jersey asks if she’s new to the school, his flirtation up to 100 in the way he’s speaking and his stance, hehe.

Eve’s just being cluelessly happy. “Do yo want to go find them?”

He rubs his hooded head with a really hairy hand. “I think so,” he grumbles and slowly stands back up straight. He’s a bit on the shorter side for a guy.

Hota: “What is ze?” They tilt their head.

Yessei: “I trust you–I’m just a little scared :sweat_smile:

“Oh, I’m just visiting,” Pryzgoda calls over her shoulder.

Casus blinks.

“We probably should,” June says and Pearl nods.

“I’m Scar!” Scar yells.

Red glares at his brother to calm down then introduces himself as well.

I never liked Harry Potter so that’s prob why lol

Fun! They’ll get into something eventually haha

“It’s like the soccer. It’s just what we call it. We play it with shrunken heads.” Michelle chuckles.

“Wait, free housing?” Lockie’s eyes go wide

“we won’t let you die. We don’t like getting sued,” the two heads joked.

Eric: “wait… So she’s like an all-knowing witch :astonished:?”

The guy smiles. “Even more of a reason you should check out all the fun campus has to offer.” He puts his hand in his pocket, trying to be sneaky with his arm flex to make his muscles pop. :joy:

“Okay. We can head back to the garden.” She happily watered another bed of flowers with a pail.

“…Hi. I’m Casey,” he kind of whispers. His voice comes out in a tiny hiss again.

Pryzgoda is completely oblivious and smiles back.

“That sounds interesting,” she says.

Casus looks tense :eyes:

Pearl gets up to follow her while June puts the rock back in her pocket.

“Are you hurt?” Red asks, noticing the hiss.

Scar tilts his head a bit.

Haha, poor big bro xD

“Pryzgoda, that’s-”

“Connor, nice to meet you,” he cuts Mo off and she rolls her eyes.

“He’s a harmless idiot, don’t mind him,” Mo chuckles under her breath to Casus.

I was about to say Where’d a rock come from then I remembered it’s the phone haha.

Eve happily talks their ears off as they pass by some more plants on campus. Simone walks past in what looks like a ghillie suit…

Casey’s voice cracks as he says he’s fine, totally embarrassed now.

yeah that’s fair

Tagif laughs: “When housing is free in Atepsi City… what is it in English? Hell will freeze over?” Hota nods. “Yeah–Hell will freeze over.”

Izi: “Wait, you can play soccer with shrunken heads?” He blinks. “Does it bounce?”

Yessei: “I didn’t think so,” she laughs. “But thank you for the reassurance.” She takes a glance outside the basket before sitting back down.

Anansi snorts. “By no means. She’s… she’s the last Witch, actually. I’ve always been so terrible at the practice that I’ve never really been a Witch. She, on the other hand? Whether it’s the curse or just her wit, I’ve never been able to tell, but she’s the best witch from where we’re from.” She sighs. “That’s for sure.”

Michelle: “Yeah, the stuff they coat it in makes them really bouncy. The heads think it’s funny and laugh all the time. It’s actually become part of our cheers.”

Gio: “They say it tickles.”

Lockie: “Hell is surprisingly more scary when it gets chilled, just frozen demons all over in horrifying positions.”

Heather snuggles close for balloon cuddles. “Your hair looks pretty when it blows in the wind. I think this will be your element,” she teases as the double person works to start rising the contraption.

“well, if she’s the last then she has no competition and has to be the best, right?” he jokes. “Oh! They’re letting people pet them!” Eric points toward where the griffins are being adorable and passerbys are getting to play with their patchwork skin.

Izi: “The heads still speak???”

Tagif: “Ooh, sounds creepy… can I see sometime?”

Hota: “What? That does sound super creepy… Tagif you should never be allowed down there.”

Yessei: “You think? I haven’t been this high since…” since… the Southern Jungle.

Anansi: “I guess–oh, should we go pet some? They look kinda soft.”

“Yeah, it’s a spefic creature, kind of like a hydra, but humanoid-looking.” Michelle grins.

Gio asks if tagif wants an invite while Lockie asks why she shouldn’t be allowed haha

Is that when her dad existed?

Heather rubs her cheeks against Yessei’s with a light and happy purr. “Thanks for coming with me.”

“Awww, you two are adorable.” one of the heads grins.

“I’ve always heard they are, but I was never able to, let’s do it!” Eric makes sure to get them a bit more room to not lose Yessei this time. The woman who is in the charge by the looks of her steampunk equestrian gear is telling those who want to pet the Griffin what to do to stay safe and how the animal likes to be touched a she rattles off fun facts like a zookeeper.

I’m back!!!

Tagif: “Uhm, yes please??? I’d love it.” She grins.

Hota: “The hydra…” they pause. “The Greek mythological reference? When you cut one head, two grow back? That’s what kind of heads you’re using?”

Yeah it is lol

Yessei: “I’m glad I came,” she tells Heather, agreeing with the head who spoke haha.

Anansi only half-pays attention, picking out only the most important stuff lol. She hates lectures but wants to pet Griffin.
