Gato Community College. (game thread)

"It took courage for me to admit that and the first thing receive is ridicule... even if it does not mean ill harm... it doesn't comfort me..." she said, pouring a cup and sliding it down to Alicia before motioning for the chef to cook up a large piece of steak.
Soon enough, there was 32 ounces of kobebeef sitting on her plate and she began to destroy it, clearly not happy with the light of recent events but was comfortable enough to eat the mass of meat on her plate, or was being comforted by doing so.

"It took courage for me to admit that and the first thing receive is ridicule... even if it does not mean ill harm... it doesn't comfort me..."

Well you really are a **** aren't you? She thought to herself. The poor girl shares something personal, with a group of people she barely knows no less, and you go and make fun of her...Dad'd kick your ass if he was here. Downing her drink, she stood as the sake burned down her throat.

Moving over behind where Ohka was sitting, she bent down and lightly hugged the other girl from behind, resting her chin on Ohka's shoulder. "I'm sorry." She sighed. "I know I can be a ***** at times, and I have a bad habit of speaking without thinking. I didn't mean to really offend you...I guess I'm just too used to how me and my friends back home talk; our conversations are at least 90% insults...and I really shouldn't expect every other person I meet to be like that. So, once again, I'm sorry."

[color=990099] Eat and talk at--... Oh... Heh, guess I walked into that one. [/color] Alicia's joke caused Kaylee to pout a bit in response before chuckling and typing up a quick response. [color=990099]

 "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not... Hehe... And yeah... I've been told, but sometimes listening to what other people say is no fun..."

[/color]

She blinked twice before noticing that she was hugging Ohka from behind. She stared for a moment or two before looking to Alicia and moving her eyebrows up and down again.

After complimenting the chef on the combination of flavors in the kabob, both in terms of food stuffs and seasonings, Sierra just sat there, munching away on her kabobs as the others performed damage control or what have you. As she ate she wondered what her mother and friends back home where doing, not to mention how Cassy and John where, she hadn't spoken to them much since they moved away for a college of their own, and Cassy having a baby only further lessened the talk time, Sierra could only sigh at that bit of 'selfishness' though.

 

[mcpop9]

"Um... i... thanks..." she said, her face blushing heavily red considering it was the first time anyone outside her family hugged her. Truth be told, Ohka didn't know how to deal with this... She continued eating as she was half-way done with the massive steak, putting and man that could've been hungry to shame. However, a Subconscious part of her did lean into the hug, wanting some sort of attention.

 

[Athol]

"Um... I... thanks..."

Letting go, she sat back down. "I'm glad. I hate the idea of already having somebody pissed at me because I can't keep my mouth shut." Snagging the sake, she poured herself another drink. "Damn, this is good...but if I'm not careful, somebody is going to have to carry me home." She said, noticing the 'look' Kaylee was giving her. She was pretty sure she got what the mute black-haired girl was hinting at; rolling her eyes and chuckling, she read Kaylee's message, then entered one of her own. [color=990099]

 I'd tell you to get your mind out of the gutter...but I'm pretty sure mine is there as well ;p

[/color]

"So," She said to everyone, leaning back a bit in her seat. "Now that we've cover why we're here...and who we'd prefer to bang...what classes is anyone taking?" Wow, subtle as a bulldozer...smooth.

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee tilted her head as Alicia quickly typed up something on her phone. Reading it, the girl chuckled in response. [color=990099]

 "It's hard to get it out of there once it's gotten there... but I guess talking about school's a start..."

[/color] She replied back before erasing that and beginning to type up a larger response. As she typed, she continued eating her slab of beef, pausing and closing her eyes at times as the various flavors danced on her tongue.

Eventually, she slid her response to the center of the table and continued eating her food, clearly enjoying every bite now. [color=990099]

 "I've mostly enrolled into classes dealing with the dark arts and fighting against magic. Since whatever gave me my snake arm is probably dark magic, the best way to counter it is to learn how curses work... I'd hope anyway."

[/color]

 

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle watched the display between Alicia and Ohka with great interest, taking notes on how she handled the situation...and getting annoyed, though not showing it. Whenever she did something like that, it only made people angrier...maybe it was because the two of them knew each other while the people she angered didn't know her? Well...that was good if she angered anyone in the group at least. Of course, they shifted topics again, and thankfully to a topic she could talk about.

"Most of the classes i'm taking deal with the various human cultures and the hidden community. I know the first one was obvious but i'm interested in who else exists besides humans too...plus, it gives me a heads up on anyone or anything that i could offend with my appearance. I'm rounding it out with Alchemic studies too. I have to, if i want to learn my father's trade and have a chance to read his notes." She said, taking another bite out of her food to keep up to appearance and not insult the chef.

 

[mcpop9]

"I'm going to learn to control my powers... as i've gotten older.. *hic* they've gotten stronger and i'm afraid. My parents don't know i'm here at a hidden community school, but i'm also taking programming to make things real so i can get a job after i'm done here." she said to the others as the 32 oz that was on her plate was finally gone.

 

[Outcast107]

"You should know Jack, that every race has been very violent towards each other and their own kind throughout the ages. It just we humans get more brought up now is due to the fact that humans are dominate. Go back when every other races had kingdoms and you would see the same violence as you see now a days."

Taking a small drink from his soda as he finish his second burger and is about to start on his third. "Instead of Technology we have now, input magic for then." When he was finish, he took a huge bite out of his burger.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra pondered the question a minute "Enchantments is the only one I'm 'looking forward to', Demonology and Dark Arts are really more 'mandatory' for me, so I'm looking forward to them less then the one I signed up for cause it sounded like fun, sides, I can use my enchants to make some cash a lot easier then I can killing demons." Sierra, having answer, returned to her meal, and how good it was.

 

[Athol]

"Well since I asked the question, I guess I should actually answer it as well." Alicia said after a bit. "Much like Ohka, I'm taking a few classes on how to better use my power. Sure I can light myself on fire with no ill effect, and to a minor degree manipulate fires I didn't create...but I know I can do so much more, I just have no idea how to really go about it."

Sitting back in her seat, she let out a contented sigh. The food here was damned good, and for the first time in quite a while she felt legitimately full, not something that happened very often considering her metabolism. "Hey Sierra, I've got a question. What kind of 'enchantments' can you do?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

"Depends on how much time I have to weave them" Sierra began, taking a sip of water before continuing "The enchantments I use on my Bakuzan, the 'storage' enchant" motioning to the white stone in her earring " as well as the web of enchantments that took it from a flimsy, but show accurate cosplay item, to having the strength and edge needed to cleave the flesh of a demon. All those? about a days worth of work, and that mostly spent on strengthening the weapon." she said as a fresh glass of water was poured for her.

"The longer I have the more elaborate I can get, as you saw earlier with the remote controlled model, but as far as what I can do in a time frame that would be useful. Strengthening and reinforcement, is pretty much it right now. I can't do elemental enchantments for elements I don't control. So if you want a weapon attuned to the darkness it self, I can do that, but I don't suggest it for a pure blooded human like you. I have been dabbling with 'mass manipulation' and 'gravity manipulation' though for one of the models, however nether of those are good enough yet for me to try and weave into my models, let alone a weapon."

 

[Athol]

Finishing her second dup of sake, and switching back to tea, Alicia thought over what Sierra said. "Well I wasn't thinking of a weapon per se. I use weighted bands when I train, but they can get uncomfortable...of more often in my case forgotten at home." She said with a shake of her head. "Could you make like fabric arm bands or something that can project variable weight? So say it looks, and weights, just like a piece of normal clothing but if I want I can make it heavier; is that possible?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

"I don't see why not, I'm just not sure how to do it and have you still be able to move around yet. I got a few other enchants I'm working on to, like one that boosts mass with out increasing weight, because fuck the laws of physics I have magic." Sierra said, giggling a little at her own goofy comment. "But, yeah, I can hook you up with bands like you want, soon as I got the potential 'arm ripping off bugs' out of it anyway,"

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee blinked as she listened in to each of the others, happily chewing on her food as she did. Noting that Sierra was also taking Dark Arts classes, she sat back in her chair and let her head lean back, now tilted so that she was looking at the ceiling. [color=990099] So she and I will probably have classes with one another... Grest, I've got someone to leech off of for notes and whatever. [/color]

One thing Mirabelle had stated sort of stood out to her as she listened to the others and she began to type something out, eventually sliding the phone to the mechanical maiden. [color=990099]

 "Sorry if this comes off insensitive... but you're  basically a robot, right? Do golems like you have kids like humans do or did your dad build you?"

[/color]

 

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle looked down at Kaylee's message, wondering what was up. She had been listening intently to Sierra and Alicia talk about enchantments, deeply interested and a bit confused as to some of the other enchantments besides the two she had seen were. This made its all the more surprising when Kaylee broke her focus and brought her question to Mirabelle's attention. She was confused by the question at first since she had never heard of golems having children but quickly understood Kaylee's confusion and tried to set her straight.

"Oh. Sorry about the confusion. I don't have the ability to make children, not in the genetic way anyways. My father was human but i still refer to him as my father and I suspect that if I ever create my own children they will do the same for me...though when I complete my brother I need to make sure he thinks of me at his sister and not his mother.", she said, talking more to herself on that last bit.

 

[Athol]

"I don't see why not, I'm just not sure how to do it and have you still be able to move around yet. I got a few other enchants I'm working on to, like one that boosts mass without increasing weight, because fuck the laws of physics I have magic, but, yeah, I can hook you up with bands like you want, soon as I got the potential 'arm ripping off bugs' out of it anyway,"

"Fuck the Laws of Physics, I have magic." Alicia repeated beck with a grin. "I like it; but yeah, that sounds great, especially the bit about getting the 'arm tearing' bugs fixed...I like my arms just where they are." That was terrible... "I also like your idea of boosting mass without the weight. An enchantment like that on something like a pair of armoured gloves..." She said, trailing off as ideas came to mind.

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee blinked as she listened to Mirabelle explain. [color=990099] Alright... that's good to hear. Then again, I guess it'd be kind of cool to see a robot actually give birth to a robot. Seems like there would be a lot of gears and stuff lying around once it was over though... [/color] Giving the girl a nod of understanding, she typed up another quick question. [color=990099]

 "Alright, I guess that makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking initially. It must be nice to have a brother... or at least know one could be on the way. "

[/color]

As she slid the phone back over to Mirabelle, she blinked a bit as she thought back to her home and family (if she could even call them that) back in New York and quickly shook her head. [color=990099] No... No... We left that place for a reason... Don't think about it... [/color]

 

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle slowly nodded her head, believing that that was what the situation called for. It was nice to know that she may not be alone in her fathers creations, at least his sentient ones...

"It is nice...but it's also worrying. He was going to be my fathers magnum opus until i...revealed my sentience, so i feel bound to complete him now that our father is dead. The problem is, i don't know what he planned for next, and without his alchemeic knowledge, i can't go any farther. Even if he encouraged me to experience the world and build connections...i feel like, if i can't do it, i'll tarnish his memory...not to mention, i wouldn't want to be left there, lifeless and incomplete, so i owe it to my brother too..."

She stopped talking then and sat silently, stewing in her own melancholy. Her mind was weighed down by all of the demands that she placed on herself. Still, she realized that she may drag the conversation down in this state and tried to put it behind her. Putting on a (unknowingly) blatant fake smile, she started to try and re-assure Kaylee.

"...But nevermind that. I've got my whole life to work on that. My father wanted me to experience the world and that's what i'm going to do...but i need to learn how to interact with others in a believable manner first. Besides, learning this stuff could help me learn my fathers craft.", She stopped and dropped the fake smile, replacing it with a confused face before continuing. "What about your family? Do any of you have any siblings?"
