Kaylee nodded slowly as she listened more, mainly wondering why she took such a burden on herself. [color=990099] It seems like if your dad couldn't do it, then he couldn't do it. It's not really your job to finish his old work... even though you say it is.... [/color] Despite her own thoughts, she kept from voicing(typing) them and raised an eyebrow at the smile Mirabelle had given her. [color=990099] ...She really needs to work on that... [/color]

As the mechanical girl brought up Kaylee's own family, the mute girl's expression changed to a far more distant and annoyed one as she looked off to the side. [color=990099] Just when I wanted to forget... [/color] She picked up her phone and typed in a few things... and then erased it... and typed more... and erased more... This went on for a good minute or two as she tried to come up with an answer she thought would be suitable before finally sliding the phone to Mirabelle, her expression still darkened, but to a much lesser extent than before.

[color=990099]

 "I don't have siblings... and honestly if I did, I'd hope they'd have done what I did and gotten the hell out of that house. To put it simply, I don't think of my family as you or most others would. They're all just people who happen to know me. People I've met on the streets have been more of an actual family to me. ...By the way, you [i]miiight[/i] wanna work on that smile of yours a little more. It was kind of obvious that you didn't mean it."

[/color]

 

[figment of mind]

"Oh...i'm sorry for bringing it up...", Mirabelle said, feeling bad for forcing the issue with Kaylee, even if it was unknowingly. She typically didn't think of anyone having bad relations with their family, so finally meeting someone who did...well, she'd have to avoid that topic, wouldn't she? Still, Kaylee didn't seem angry, just annoyed, so Mirabelle hoped that it would go away once they switched topics. Speaking of other topics...

"...and the smile...i guess it shouldn't be that surprising to me that it didn't work. I am here to work on that though...and learn more on alchemy. Speaking of which, are you going to try to learn more after you cure your...ailment, or are you going to do something else?"

"I also like your idea of boosting mass without the weight. An enchantment like that on something like a pair of armoured gloves..."

"I was thinking 'kick ass Claymore', once I find one I like anyway, but gauntlets and grieves would work nicely to if you have the training in unarmed combat." Sierra said before finishing off a pepper she was working on. "I mean what good would it be to throw a punch with 30 tons PSI if you can't connect with it" she added asshe pondered another few kabobs.

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee blinked and nodded in response to Mirabelle's question before typing up more to elaborate. Once again sliding the phone toward her, the message read: [color=990099]

 "Don't worry about it, Mirabelle. You didn't know... and now you do. That aside, I'm enrolling into Dark Arts classes to learn more about curses and things like that. Usually, the best way to counter something is to know how it works to begin with... "

[/color]

There was a bit of space before text started again.

[color=990099]

 "And if that doesn't end up working... I'll just have to turn into a 'good girl' by whatever standards that freak who cursed me with and I'll be free... or something. Obviously, I'm not gonna hold my breath for that to happen."

[/color]

 

[figment of mind]

Now it was Mirabelle's turn to blink and stop for a moment...except for the fact that she forgot to blink, again. Kaylee had just told her something that she had already said a bit ago, so either her friend misunderstood...or she did a horrible job of wording the question to Kaylee. This being Mirabelle, she assumed the latter was what had happened, and that she had failed to communicate correctly again. Still, at least she didn't seem to hold it against her..bit she decided to change the subject anyways.

"Oh, ok...you, uh, already said that...i think i messed up in asking my question. Sorry about that. Um...sorry if i sound unimpressed, but since we're speaking of your curse...i was wondering, can you only change your hands, or can you change more?"

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee paused for a moment before facepalming herself as Mirabelle spoke. She quickly typed up a message and slid the phone back toward Mirabelle. [color=990099]

 "Oh... You meant other than going to classes. My bad... I didn't get what you were getting at. Uh... I've tried talking with mediums and other people who are into magic and hexes and whatever... but nothing seemed to work. Hell, I think going to some of them made it a hell of a lot worse. I mean, this is a new city and since there's an entire college of monsters and other kinds of crazy beings milling around, there's probably someone who'd actually be able to help me more. I just need to find them, I guess.

As for the curse... it's just my arm and I really hope it stays that way."

Ohka was getting a bit "loose" one might call as the bottle was emptied. Turning to the waitress, she gestured to have her come over and was soon there. "Two more bottles of sake, to go. And the check please." She said, taking another helping of meat onto her plate and quickly beginning to tear through it as the waitress left. If anyone looked at her, they'd have the image of goku eating stuck in their head as she devoured the meat at a rapid pace, loving the taste of it with a heavy blush.

"I mean what good would it be to throw a punch with 30 tons PSI, if you can't connect with it."

"Oh I think I can handle that." Alicia replied with a smirk, 'casually' scratching a fictitious itch with her middle finger. Idly snacking on various little morsels, she watched as Ohka devoured a large piece of meat with all the gusto of a starving dog. I just hope she doesn't drink this much regularly... The smaller Japanese girl was obviously rather drunk, and Alicia wasn't sure if she had the patience to deal with a potential budding alcoholic.

 

[figment of mind]

"Oh...ok. Well, i can't imagine how the curse could get worse...but seeing as how i know nothing about magic...hmm," she said, slipping into thought. She didn't know how magic was powered but maybe she could simulate it's effects...or, alternatively, maybe she could cast magic herself, depending on the power source. She entertained the thought of her casting spells left and right...before realizing how silly it was and shoving it away into the depths of her mind. She didn't even know what she would do with magic, much less what could be done or if it was even possible for her to use it. She looked back and continued with what she was saying.

"Sorry about that, i zoned out for a moment...i was thinking about what i would do with magic...i know it's silly but still. I'll just stick with Alchemy for now. Anyways, if you need help in finding someone, you can always ask me. It's not a problem, it'll give me more of a chance to socialize."

At this, she started to pay attention to what was around her again. She overheard Alicia talking about handling something and Ohka ordering some stuff to go. Seeing the signal that they were going to leave soon, she looked at the remaining meat on her plate and dug in, figuring it rude to leave it on the plate, uneaten, in front of the chef. She didn't want to insult him by letting his work go to waste, after all.

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee blinked a small bit as she turned to see Ohka wolfing down her plate of meat. [color=990099] Well.... For such a small girl, that's one hell of an appetite... [/color] She slowly turned back toward Mirabelle just as the mechanical girl broke out of her trance. As Mira apologized, Kaylee simply smiled and waved her hands, trying to denote that it was no big deal. She picked up her phone to type out another message and slid it to Mirabelle. [color=990099]

 "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks in advance, Mira."

[/color]

Seeing that Ohka was waving for a check (even though she hadn't set foot in a restaurant, it so happened TV was accurate for once), Kaylee followed suit with Mirabelle in finishing up her plate, though her appetite had more or less gone after she had brought up her family.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra's choice on more food seemingly made for her, she simply pushed the plate away a little and waited for the check to arrive, Alicia's gesture lost on her as she wasn't paying attention, she was already thinking about the work she'd need to do to get her enchants to work.

 

[mcpop9]

The check came and ohka pulled out cash, filling the checkbook and giving it back to the waitress. She nodded and walked off, coming back with a the receipt and a wooden box. "Arigato." she said with a quick bow before standing up. "Come on everyone, i hope the food was good for you girls..." she said, a pink blush permanently on her cheeks. Ohka then led the group towards the elevator once more, wooden box safely in hand.

 

[DotSlash]

As Ohka popped up and walked out, Kaylee got up and followed and gave a large smirk in response as she typed up a quick response. She showed the phone to Ohka as she stepped behind the girl in the elevator. [color=990099]

 "Sooo.... do we get to eat like this everyday? I've got no objections to it, the food was awesome."

[/color]

 

[figment of mind]

Ohka paid the check and everyone was getting up to leave, Mirabelle included. The experience was overall rather good in her opinion, even if she got overwhelmed at first and wasted Ohka's money on food she didn't need. Still, Ohka didn't seem to mind, having spent even more on more alcohol and merrily carrying it into the elevator, so she stopped worrying about it. She noted the question Ohka had asked though.

"Um...i-i couldn't really taste it. I don't have anything in me capable of tasting food. The experience was grand though, i've not experienced anything like it."

 

[mcpop9]

Ohka raised an eyebrow at Mirabelle in surprise. "You can't taste? we need to get someone at the school to fix that. Life isn't any fun when you can't enjoy things such as the taste of food." she said to mirabelle. "But i am happy that you enjoyed the experience." she added on. "You too Kaylee."

 

[figment of mind]

"Well, i have never really needed one since i don't require sustenance. Besides, i've found life very enjoyable anyways, i don't think taste is required. Thank you for the concern though. Also, thank you for the chopsticks, i was doubtful about how well they would work, given my nature, but they seemed to work fine."

Mirabelle took out the chopsticks and rolled them around in her hand. She still wasn't COMPLETELY sure that they had worked but she decided to not fret over it. She had been able to eat so it didn't fully matter.

 

[DotSlash]

Kaylee nodded as she leaned back a bit before blinking twice and looking at the chopsticks one more time. She casually prodded Ohka in the side with them and held them out for her to take back. [color=990099] ....Pretty sure I'm not gonna need these again anyway.... [/color]

 

[Lunar Templar]

"dinner was good, if a bit to high class for my taste" Sierra said as they rode the elevator down, she didn't really say much after that ether, she was tired suddenly and just wanted to go to bed at this point, she'd have to finish unpacking some time tomorrow as well as send out a couple emails.

 

[Athol]

"Come on everyone, I hope the food was good for you girls..."

"That was fantastic." Alicia replied with a satisfied sigh. "Though I do have to agree with Sierra...if you weren't buying, I doubt I could've afforded something off the appy menu." Stretching slightly as she walked, she felt like she'd gained ten pounds. Ah well, it'll mostly be gone by morning. Stifling a yawn, she walked in silence.

 

[mcpop9]

The girls got back and the boys had their dinner. They got back to the dorm and by that time, it was night time. They all said their goodnights and everyone went into their rooms.

Next morning, Eight A.M. sharp. "ATTENTION ALL FRESHMAN, MEET IN THE GYM AT EIGHT THIRTY." a familiar male voice said over the intercom.

Kaylee's room.
Kaylee would find a ball of covers next to her, being rather large and not her own as they were pink and appeared to have two cartoonish figures on them. There was also a good bit of white hair spilling out from one small part of it, soft breathing could be heard eminitating from the covers as well. inside was ohka in her t-shirt and panties, fast asleep like a corpse.
