Stick Fairy

[color=indigo] ((OOC: Sorry for the late response, but school just started. *kicks it*)) Kakaulani turned back to the others, arms folded in impatience. "You would think that after centuries of sleep, they would move a little bit faster," she muttered, tapping one foot against the damp ground. As pleased as she was to see her fellow guardians- which wasn't that pleased at all, to be honest- it struck her every time how slow they could be. One of them had once told her that her haste was a sign of foolishness, and that the reason the rest moved with caution was that they thought about what was to come. Though to Lani, that was merely a sign that they were afraid to move forward. At least she would never have that fear. "Could you possibly move any slower Melina, Ty?" Just because she had promised herself not to get angry didn't mean she couldn't heckle them a little. "After all, it's not best to keep Hudrenda waiting. Especially if he's worried about something." The fact that he worried made her a bit nervous as well. Not even to mention the fact that they were all awake again. Well, the term awake might be wrong to describe her condition, as only her mind had come out of her supposedly eternal slumber, but she could assume the rest would follow in due course. Especially if they had all regained consciousness within. She wasn't sure which she would prefer though- the chance that she was the only one awake, with no one to share it with, or having to put up with the rest of them. Her mental image of herself stretched its wings and flew to an ancient looking tree, the tallest in the whole garden. Once, when she was still human, she had climbed to the top and spent the whole day feeling as if she was right underneath the ceiling of the sky. The memory was both a sweet and a sour one, but it flew from her mind as she approached the being who stood underneath it. "Hello, Hudrenda. Have you had a nice nap?" She smiled wryly, but her eyes were excited. Now that they had reunited, perhaps things would change. Hopefully for the better. [/color]

[color=indigo] It seems I'm coming out of retirement for a short while... Name: Experiment #1 Kakaulani Washi ("Lani") (Guardian of the Sky) Age: Thousands of years old. Apperance: Slender and of medium height, Lani has skin tinted slightly gray, and hair of much the same color. She wears a pale yellow dress that's torn and stained with dirt in many places, and her legs and arms are wrapped with white ribbons. Also, she sports large, white wings streaked with gray and black. Weapons: A long black whip with a silver handgrip that's etched with ancient runes, also her wings which she can use as fighting extentions of her body (almost like extra arms or legs). Bio: Lani enjoyed protecting the skies, as well as helping their residents and the humans coexist. When the gods took their anger out on the guardians, she was hurt that someone would do such a thing. She never tried to usurp any god, yet still she was punished, simply for caring for the sky and its creatures. While she enjoyed the ability to fly, she was unable to rejoin society, making her an outcast among the people she had tried to protect. She was no longer content to help humans when they had shunned her, and gratefully accepted the eternal rest that the mother earth offered. Once awoken from her sleep, she was furious to see that humans had yanked her from her peace only to use her again, without any intention of accepting her. She fled the laboratory, and now hides in a tall mountain cave with only her other winged friends to keep her sane, and stop her from an attack against the humans. She loves her fellow guardians, yet mourns the loss of their freedom, and will not be easily convinced to see any of them. Ablitites: Flight- Hopefully self-explanitory. Gray Whirlwind- Stirs air into a funnel, completely surrounding the target, and thereby cutting off their air supply, so they are unable to breathe. Nearly impossible to break through from either the inside or outside, though the top could be a weak point. Flow Whisper- An ability allowing her to send messages on gusts of wind and have them be heard by whoever she wishes, but no outsiders can hear it. Life Breeze- A healing ability, which calls on the power of the air to heal wounds and sicknesses. Cannot heal fatal wounds or illnesses, but can stop them from progressing for a short time. ~~~ Hope that's everything. ^^ I'll try to revise this a bit, and make it better before it starts. If I can't, I still look forward to RPing this one out again. ^^ ~SF [/color]

[color=indigo] I cry at most movies, sad or just depressing. With TV and anime, I usually just cry when something either shocks me, a character I really like dies, or a character (whether I like them or not) dies stupidly, senselessly, or just annoyingly. Like a character dying when they shouldn't have had to to move the plot, or dying in a stupid way, will make me cry a little. But then, I'm one of those people who [I]finds[/I] things to cry about. Lots of people will laugh in those situations perhaps, or yell, or rant on a blog, or do something else strange like that. We all react differently. If it is something that actually affects us inside (as much as anime can affect a person, which is also different per person), then it will most likely be expressed by whichever way has the most meaning to us. For example, if one of my favorite characters died, I probably [I]wouldn't [/I] cry. Rather, I'd go online and IM everyone on my buddy list ranting about it. That's my style. [/color]

[color=deeppink] OOC: Wow, I'm so sorry for not posting! It'll be hard for me to post much, but I'll post as often as possible. IC: Asa blinked. First she had her own weapon, then there was that strange presence, which was surprising in itself, but equally surprising that she could feel it. After that, Karanlik had disappeared, and they had taken a two-hour tour of nowhere, leading up to a flat plane that looked totally devoid of life. The journey had made her testy, annoyed, to the point where she randomly started yelling at people. That was more shocking than anything else that happened, it hurt her inside more than any wound she had recieved in battle. [i]I always wanted to help people, not hurt them. What am I doing?[/i] She wandered over to a flat rock and sat down. Cocoa cam and sat next to her, and together they watched as Rokuki started searching the plains. Asa shook her head. [i]I need to get a grip on myself. If I don't like what I'm doing, I have to change it.[/i] She closed her eyes, one hand resting on Cocoa's back, the other on her staff. She breathed deeply, focusing on herself. She tuned out all noise, Matt and Austin talking to eachother, Rokuki scampering about. Suddenly a force intruded into her thoughts, jolting her back into the outer world. "What- what on earth was that?" OOC: Again sorry for not posting, I'll try to do it more. Just two things to remember- one, Cocoa is still here last time I checked. And two, Asa is generally not a loud person, she's actually quite quiet and shy. [/color]

[color=deeppink] Asa looked around blearily. The battle had only been going for a breif time, and yet she had been hit twice. Looking around, she could see her comrades all deep in battle, each one paired off with a sort or doppleganger, and evil twin, who had the same types of powers. Some, like Austin and Mika, had come to check on her. It was all very sweet, but as Asa watched the battle through frightened eyes, her heart began to feel heavy. [i]They're all fighting out there, and I have to sit and watch. I'm weak. They're all useful, and all I can do is look on from the sidelines, and get hurt.[/i] Cocoa came over and licked her cheek, making Asa realize that she had been crying. She quickly pulled out a tissue and wiped away all the tears, then looked at her dog. "This is no time to be wallowing in self-pity, eh girl? We need to find a way to help!" OOC: Sorry it's short, not much for a medic to do right now... [/color]

[color=deeppink] Asa rubbed her head, which was both cold and wet from the snow, and tried to remember what had happened. She had been on her way home from school, cheery because her parents had promised that they'd be home for dinner that night. She had taken her usual detour, stopping at her uncle's deli to pick up Cocoa and get a cup of the drink she was named for. Then, as she was leaving, her uncle had given her a present, telling her not to open it unless she was in need of a happy surprise. She and Cocoa were on their way home, when a strange light had appeared. That was the last thing she remembered. Asa thought about this, and then sat up with a start. "Cocoa!" She looked around frantically, when she spotted the chocolate lab, whimpering next to her. Asa hugged her, when she noticed that Cocoa had a nasty scratch on her belly. "Oh no! Let me see if I have any bandages." She rummaged through her backpack, and was surprised to find that it wasn't full of her school books, but rather bandages, alcohol, and other first aid items, as well as a strange electronic device, which she clipped on the outside of her pack. Grabbing some alcohol and a length of bandage, she cleaned and wrapped the wound. She was so immersed in her work, she failed to notice the other teens around her, until one of them came up and tapped her on the shoulder. She whirled around to face the tapper who asked "And what's your name?" [/color]

[color=indigo] OOC: Um, in case you didn't notice, Rune is a new student. Meaning she most likely doesn't know people yet. IC: Rune slowly climbed up the winding stairs of the library, but it seemed completely deserted. However the lack of people only made the disturbance more... disturbing. There was also a lot of residual magic in the air, as though a rather large and powerful spell had been performed quite recently. It gave Rune the shivers, and she quickly went back downstairs. She let herself out of the darkened library and looked around for another building she could wait in. Spotting one nearby, she ran towards it. However, a crack of lightning made her look away, so she didn't see the guy as she crashed right into him. [/color]

[color=indigo] OOC: Sorry it took me so long to post everyone! ^^; IC: Rune walked into the headmaster's office nervously. The secretary turned to her, and said kindly, "Mr. Kaltrop should be with you momentarily." She steered Rune into a spacious office, where a tall, balding man was talking with someone on his cell phone. He saw Rune, and ended his conversation quickly, shoving the phone in his pocket and taking a seat behind his large oak desk, motioning for Rune to do the same. She sat, and started fiddling with her pendant, a triangular locket that would never open no matter how hard she tried. "Well now, I understand you want to start attending school here. Rune Selith, aged 15. Orphaned in a car accident three years ago, spent two years in an orphanage, the last living with your... aunt I believe?" Rune nodded when she realized she was supposed to answer the question. "Yes sir, my mother's sister." Nodding curtly, the headmaster went on. "Yes, very well. I hear that you were struck by amnesia in the accident, and that you have no memory of any magical specialty, or even your elements. Very well, I'll place you in the care of a student for a while, who will get you used to the place. I will need about an hour to draw up a schedule and get your room ready. The library is right next door, why don't you wait there?" He seemed like he wanted to get rid of her, so Rune quickly ran to the library through the rain. Once she was safely inside, a thumping noise from upstairs knocked her down, crashing her into a coatrack. Rubbing her elbow, she pulled herself up to find out what all the commotion was. [/color]

[color=indigo] Lani and Jenna rose higher and higher into the sky, Lani's wings beating the air vigorously. [i]There are more pressing issues at hand now, put the others behind you.[/i] Jenna jerked her out of her thoughts quickly, by gasping for breath. "Oh dear, I'm sorry." she replied quickly, pulling a cloud of air up so Jenna could breathe. She recovered quickly, taking deep breaths, then asked "Lani, where are we going? I can't last up here for much longer!" Lani smiled grimly. "We're here. Take a good look around and tell me what you see." Jenna looked and gasped again, this time not for lack of air. The view was of the woods they were camped in, next to a gorgeous river. You could see mountains in the distance, as well as what might have been Mt. Fuji. Jenna gaped at the scene. "It's... it's gorgeous!" she shrieked. Lani shook her head. "This is because you cannot see what I see. Let me show you this through my eyes. Perhaps then you will see the truth." A gust of wind soared upwards, and surrounded Jenna. She was blinded for a moment, then screamed. The air was thick and discolored, the trees and plants dead and wilting, the river filled with gook, and the mountains chopped down, crumbling. "What did you do? What is this?" Jenna whimpered, trying to cover her eyes. "This is how the world will be if it continues on its current course. Humans will live, but nature will die. What kind of corrupted people demand a blood sacrifice of the world? We must stop this. This is truly why we were awakened. It was Kismet, fate. Of this I am certain." Lani looked to Jenna, her eyes connecting with Jenna's soul. "I now ask for your help. You are different, I sense it." Jenna nodded slowly. "I'll help in any way I can. But can we please go down again? I'm starting to get airsick." Lani nodded back and began her descent, arriving back at the cave. "I just want to check on Dr. Merez and the child, alright?" Jenna asked, hurrying inside the cave. Lani followed her, to find Melina, in Ty's arms. Her eyes slowly began to fill with tears, but she ran out before either of them would see, spreading her wings and flying back into the sky, her true home. [/color]

[color=indigo] Rune looked around. The campus seemed pretty expansive, and she still had no idea where she was. Her umbrella was starting to soak through as well. She shook it, dislodging some water, and cursed for not bringing a more waterproof one. It could be awhile before she found the main office of the school, and she'd be soaked by that time. Then a girl caught her eye. She had no umbrella, and was soaked head to toe. She was trudging resignedly towards a building nearby. Rune ran to catch up with her, and tapped her gently on the shoulder. The girl whirled around angrily, and Rune jumped back. "Sorry. But could you please point out the main office building to me?" The girl glared, and started walking in a different direction. "Come on, it's this way." she mumbled, Rune following close behind. [/color]

[color=indigo] Name: Cheer Bear Color, I guess: Pink Symbol: A rainbow! Stereotype: Cheerful, always tries to make everyone happy, never ever gets sad. Yup, the everlasting optimist on a sugar high. [/color]

[color=indigo] Name: Rune Selith Age: 15 Gender: Female Height: 5'9" Weight: What girl tells her weight? Hair Color: Jet black. Eye Color: Black with silver flecks Mage or Normal: Mage Elements: Light and Darkness General appearance: Tall and slender, as well as quite pale. Her hair is waist length, and most often worn in pigtails. She usually wears jeans, a white shirt with long gray sleeves, and a long black sweater over that. Bio: Born to two young and talented mages, she spent most of her childhood with them, brought up with a full knowledge of magic in the world. She showed some skill, but her parents were reluctant to send her to school. One day when she was 12, they were all in a car accident, and her parents died. Rune escaped with a case of amnesia, unable to remember anything, even her parents. She didn't know any relations, so she was sent to live in an orphanage. Her mother's sister found her there when she was 14, and took her to live with her. She sent Rune to mage school a year later, not wanting to send her too soon, afraid it would be a big change. Rune is quiet, unsure of what to say when spoken to, and very private. She rarely exposes any of her past. She keeps a journal, which she writes in constantly, afraid to forget anything else about herself. How's this? [/color]

[COLOR=deeppink] Even though I wasn't in the last one, can I join? I promise to post, as long as everyone else does too! *crosses fingers for luck* Name: Asa Galen Age: 15 Sphere: Medic Sphere Powers:Basically, the power to heal things, (people, animals, even plants). She can also help soothe a hurting soul, and is good at fixing broken things, from the physical (like a lamp or something) to the emotional (like a friendship). Weapon: Not sure about this one... Description: Asa has shoulder length reddish brown hair and brown eves. She usually wears her school uniform, which is a white shirt, dark green pleated skirt and vest, and black sweater, which she wears open. Also white ankle socks and black shoes. She wears a short black coat over it all in the fall and winter. Bio: Asa lives with her parents and two little sisters. Her parents both work full time, and are fairly wealthy, so that Asa and hr sisters have almost everything, except parents. They are taken care of by a live-in nanny/maid, whom Asa loves dearly but still wants her parents to spend more time with her. O one of the days she got to spend time with her parents, her tenth birthday, they took her to an antique shop and asked her to choose a present. She chose a swirly pink sphere on a chain, which she always wears as a memento. She tries to take care of other people, and give them the attention her parents seem to refuse her. She is extremely caring, and cries easily, but is very strong and will do anything to help those she cares for, and even complete strangers. She hates to see anyone hurt, and is always bringing stray animals home with her. They mostly get sent away, but her nanny let her keep one, a chocolate lab puppy who's now four years old, named Amber. She's mostly ignored at school, which is an expensive private school, because she likes to talk to anyone, including people who are "beneath her". She's quite shy to outsiders, but cares for them nonetheless. [/color]

[color=indigo] Demi looked around. The missiles were giving good chase, and were a gread deal faster than she was. She was also outnumbered, three to one by them. Still, she only had to get so close, and then she could use her ace in the hole. She flew on, her wings beginning to tire, when suddenly she twirled around, and closed in on the first missile. Quickly she pulled out her pendant, focused, and shouted a short spell. The missile halted in its tracks, then trembled for a few moments. "Hmph, energy resistant," she muttered, pushing more energy out towards the missile. It shook violently, then collapsed on itself, turning into a harmless chunk of metal. Demi stayed frozen for a moment, then massaged her head lightly, shaking a bit herself. A missile whizzed past her, and she turned, holding out her pendant. "One dow, two to go," she said, streching her wings and preparing to chase the next one down. [/color]

[color=indigo] OOC: Sorry, school's been tough, can't get on much right now... IC: Lani had flown to check up on a disturbance in the winds, and saw Ty and Melina embrace. While her eyes filled with tears, she could not feel malice towards either of them for some reason. That moment made it quite clear that Melina was the only one in Ty's heart, and that nothing would change that. Lani wiped her tears away, then went into the cave, acting as though nothing was wrong. She looked for Jenna, who had gone unnoticed during much of the commotion, and who now slept in a corner of the stony shelter. Lani nudged her gently. "Jenna. Wake up now, please." Jenna blinked, wiping her eyes. "Oh, Lani. Is it morning yet?" she said cheerily. "Yes. Please come with me, I wish to show you something." Lani's voice was steady, but her tone implied it was important. "Alright, let me straighten up, and I'll be ready in a moment please." Lani exited the cave, waiting outside. [i]That's right, there are far more important things to think of right now. Ty is not that cruicial to my life, I was awakened for a reason.[/i] Jenna came out into the day just as Ty came around from the back. "Jenna, let's go." Lani grabbed her. Passing Ty, she whispered "Don't let Hudrenda catch you next time." Before he could reply, she took off into the sunlit sky. [/color]
