''Bill is the resident [[RatedMforManly manly]] [[BoisterousBruiser jock]] of Class 4. His immense love for sports, workouts and exercizes is only rivaled by his love for eating. He's a free-spirit. He likes flying freely in the dawn or dusk, both as a means to exercize and train and a means to feel free. But when it comes to eating, he can be annoyingly clingy, not willing to share his food with others. To further justify that, he sometimes would coat his food with his saliva.''

Lucy – A Revisit

Lucy couldn't help but feel a little trepidant at the prospect of returning to Saint Academy; even if it was just for a visit. Hei had taken the opportunity to drop her off, but she couldn't help but tremble at the sight of the entrance. Nonetheless, she swallowed, gathered herself together, and walked through the doors.

It was different. She could tell. Maybe not visually, but in terms of the atmosphere. The students she could see mulling about weren't any she recognized. A couple of seemed to recognize her, though. Inkwell had made quite an impact back in Sweden, after all—so maybe her reputation had made it overseas at least a little.

She realised very quickly that Class 1 would have changed drastically since she last saw it. She wondered if any of her old class had remained. Hopefully so. She'd made sure to pick a free period to arrive at—so hopefully they'd be coming out of class by now.
----
A Revisit

Sam had managed to somehow remain awake and in one piece during all the class, so he'd say it was a success, but that was just him. Who knows how others would judge that. Making sure to enjoy the free period, he was looking forward to jam until his arms couldn't move.

Of course, those plans were set aside as he saw a familiar face.

Could it be?

Approaching silently, he gave the girl a poke in the shoulder.

"Hello, Luce" He smiled.
----
Lucy – A Revisit

Lucy gasped in surprise, immediately whirling around at the voice and grinning broadly at the cryokinetic when she saw him.

"Sam!" she cried—throwing her arms around the boy in greeting. "Oh, god—I was thinking you'd all gone by now! I missed you guys so much! Are... are the others still here? In Class 1, I mean," she asked anxiously, momentarily relieving him of her death grip.

Talk about surreal. And making me feel old. It's not even been a full year yet! she realised, looking him up and down a little. I guess you grow quicker here... what with the supervillains and existential crises...
----
Revisit

"Hey, easy" Sam chuckled "Good to have you around again, by the way, hope Sweden is really treating you well" He poked her in the forehead.

"Well, the class is mostly new, but our favorite demon couple is still in, as is Mahvash, and Rebecca and Ever are back" After a second, he added "There is also Vicky, but she is probably sleeping in some dark corner again" He chuckled.
----
Lucy – Revisit

"Oh, thank god for that," she smiled, seeming to perk up a little at the familiar names. "I saw a couple of things on the news about the flak this place is getting. As well as empowered in general. I'm glad to say it isn't as bad in Sweden," she frowned. "Or at least, we've been dealing with it okay. How are you guys dealing with that? It's not putting you down too much, is it?" she asked, concerned.

----
Lucy – Revisit

"Nice to see you haven't changed much, Sam," Lucy chuckled in response to his admittance of his own recklessness—a teasing smile flickering across her face for a moment. "Hei's been supportive. As always, bless him. But there's a decent response back home, and a fair group of heroes as well. So we're doing... okay. For now, I mean."(edited)
----
Revisit

"Good to know you are gaining confidence, Tiny" Sam said, giving her a light pinch in the cheek "Give my best wishes to Lin, and how about we see the rest? At least there are a couple people you could like" It could help with my failures as a friend last year(edited)
----
Lucy – Revisit

"I'm not that tiny," Lucy griped—which was true enough. The girl looked more filled out than she had been, and had gained a few inches in height—a far cry from her nigh-skeletal appearance the year before. "But... yeah. I'm getting better. I'm still... I'm still trying to track them down, y'know the..." she trailed off, looking left and right before dropping her voice down to a whisper. "...those kids, but I feel like if I could just say I'm sorry for... for doing what I did to them, then... m-maybe I could move on from it, you know...?"

The melanokinetic was silent for a little while, lost in thought, before shaking it off and forcing a smile onto her face. "But apart from... that, yeah. I'd like to see some of the new guys. Doubt they were as bad as we were," she joked—trying to at least somewhat lift the morbidity from her earlier statement.
----
Revisit, old and new

"Don't worry, I know you can make up" Sam said, placing a hand on her shoulder "If not, you have your life to be the best you can be, and that would have to be enough" Hopefully, I can let go too

Wincing as she commented on how the new class couldn't be worse, but he tried to be brave "Hey, we had our moments, but Class 1 is still a group of mostly lovable weirdos"

"Hey, Zach" He called to the tattooed young man "There is someone I want you to meet" He said. One shy ink kid with issues to another, makes sense.
----
Revisit

Zach looked up at the utterance of his name, looking over at Sam and some new girl he'd never seen before, smiling and giving the two of them a quick wave.

Someone he wanted to meet? Oh, yay! New friends, he liked making new friends.

So, after putting all of his various amounts of crap away, he walked over, the smile never faltering from his face as he brought up his right hand, and began to write in the air, leaving trails of ink as he did.

'''Hi there! It's a pleasure to meet you. Any friend of Sam's is a friend of mine. Name's Zach!'''

Oh, this would be a fun meeting for the young melanokinetic.
----
Lucy — Revisit

...Huh. Another ink user. That's rare.

"I'm Lucy. Lucy Livingston. I was in Class 1 for last year," she greeted with a smile, reaching out and lightly shaking the boy's hand in greeting. "Hope it's been crazy enough for you. If there's one thing I learned, well... it leaves an impression."

She had to forcibly hide her grin for the next part. She pulled back the sleeves of her hood slightly, raising her arms and focusing on them. They seemed to stain over with a black substance from beneath the skin, before a liquid of a particular (and very familiar) scent seeped out from her pores and stretched out into a small collection of tendrils. She let them coagulate together—telekinetically drawing their mass into one big clump and pulling it away from her arms and into the air above her—before proceeding to mimic Zach's floating letter effect as a version of her own.

'''Looks like I'm not the only melanokinetic in the room now, huh?'''
----
Revisit

A moment of silence as dawning realization suddenly hit him like a trailer truck, and his eyes went wide with recognition. He snapped his fingers, nodding his head.

'''Right! Oh, I remember you now! Mahvash and Sam told me about you a few times! I though you looked familiar. Oh man, another Ink User, this is so cool! You have to show me what you can do, I'm so curious!'''

A genuine excitement in his movements as he wrote the words, before he chuckled and rubbed the back of his had.

'''Sorry, I'm probably coming off too strongly I just got excited.'''
----
Lucy – Revisit

Ah. So he knew of her. She'd have to meet up with Mahvash as well now that she was... well, saner. She could probably handle her a lot better.

...A bit better. She didn't have that much faith in herself.

"No, it's okay. I appreciate it," she smiled. "I'll uh... give you a quick rundown, I guess..."

Here was just as good as anywhere, she supposed. It wasn't like she was about to go all Entity and explode into a mass of ink or anything. So, she concentrated—her form seeming to ripple as detail and colour vanished from her features and was replaced by the slight sheen of jet black ink. She promptly collapsed into a puddle.

After it had fully splattered, it dragged itself into a more substantial mass; forming tendrils out of itself and rapidly pulling itself to a spot behind them. After that, it stopped again—raising up and morphing itself back into Lucy's shape before rippling again and regaining the appropriate colouration.

"Ink transformation's one. I can generate ink from excess... uh, fat in my body as well. And change pigmentation," she mumbled as an afterthought—scratching the back of her head awkwardly as she absently generated some more ink from her hand and shifted it into a multicoloured state. "Other than that it's just imagination, I guess. Though I'm guessing your powers work a little differently. They're rarely identical. And you're kinda the only other melanokinetic I've met, so..."

She was rambling, so she clamped her mouth shut and shrugged in an attempt to alleviate her embarrassment. "You get the idea. I'm here basically for the rest of the day, so... are the training rooms still open?"
----
"Good to see you are getting better" Sam smiled, as he showed himself back, laughing at how she rambled "I think they are, unless some idiot did something, but let's go see"
----
Revisit

'''That's incredible.''' He wrote numbly, watching as she disappeared into a puddle of ink and then did SOMETHING, before reappearing. He doubted he could ever do the things that she could, due to the fact that his powers came from a straight demonic source inside of his body, and he couldn't exactly do...THAT with what he had.

But anything he COULD learn would be AMAZINGLY useful.

'''You mean, assuming Van or Ash didn't completely obliterate the place.''' He said to Sam, the buildings of a grin starting to spread. '''And I think they got banned for a week or so after the last time...so I don't think they're gonna risk it again.'''
----
Lucy – Revisit

"Lemme guess. Resident troublemakers?" Lucy grinned. "There's always one. Or two, I guess. Ah well. The crater where it used to be will be good enough anyway. Still... as much as it sounds weird for me to say, I kinda wanna see Mahvash now," she admitted, her smile shrinking into something a little smaller and more genuine. "I... I've had a lot of time. To work her out, I mean. Namely that I can't work her out. But it's better than a hopeless scramble, I guess. Don't wanna turn into another Laurie, y'know?" she shrugged. "Crazy enough anyway."
----
Revisit - Training Room/Improvised Magic Lab
Mahvash technically watched her own paper, making a decorative sheet of notes, partly in Avestan, partly in runes. It was shorthand to her, but eventually she'd drop it in some random library and enjoy the journey of whoever tried to follow random class notes to some ancient treasure.

That was only for a moment though. The fun part was experimentation. She'd set the training room to create a multi-character opera and spent only a small amount of time recording her results. Oi, she put her voice and moves to work in the performance too. The big lad spinning her at the moment knew it, well 'knew' it.

Setting magic performances on hardlight images is different from working with flesh and bone subjects. Who would be a nice volunteer?
----
Vivian came walking in on her hands, somehow whistling an uneven tune. After entering, she turned around so that she was now facing Mahvash, though still upside down. "Hey. Whatcha doing?"
----
"Making bards," Mahvash answered, not missing a beat and spinning an overly tan, very alto man away to grab another. "Or practicing."
----
"Bards? What's a bard? And how does one make a bard?" She's still upside down, and now doing slow handstand pushups.
----
Mahvash tilted her head before snapping, pausing the opera cold. "...not that way. And I stole it from D&D. Also, I have no idea. I'm working on it right now."
"Well, I have some idea, but I have to feel out where experiments go."
----
"So it's a...thing? A musical piece? A kind of dance?" One-handed pushups, now.
----
"They are... interesting" Sam said, with a shrug "Most people here are, at any rate"

Shaking his head at her wish to see Mahvash, he shrugged "Sure"It's your sanity
----
[Mahvash]
"No, the kind of performance you're heckling is an opera..." she curled her fingers around her chin. "A bard is a captivating master of arts. And they tell great stories. I just have to figure out how to infuse literal magic into their steps and notes, giving them a nice, basic way to call on me through song and poetry and all that jazz."
----
Vivian put her feet down and turned around again to face Mahvash. "Hmm. And sorry, I haven't introduced myself properly. Rude. I'm Vivian."
----
Revisit (Training Room)- Sally
"Hiya." Sally walked into the room. She saw what Mahvash was putting on.
"This looks interesting. Can I stay a minute and watch? Well, technically I shouldn't ask since we are squad mates but, still want to be polite." She said, smiling a bit.
----
Vivian pointed at Sally. "See? Polite. How to be."
----
"Keh," She gave a short snicker. "What are you trying to do? Talk to me? Well, you're forgiven," she made a shallow curtsy. "I have the name Mahvash Matten Mattiuza. Hi."

Mahvash nodded at Sally. "But, of course."
----
Realizing there was a new girl, Sally extended her hand for a handshake.
"Hi, my name is Sally Martel. It is very nice to meet you."
----
Revisit

'''Oh boy, there's people here.''' Zach wrote to Sam and Lucy, before he gave a defeated shrug. '''Guess nothing can be done. At least you can meet new friends, and even see Mahvash again!'''
----
Vivian shook Sally's hand. "Vivian Courthope. I'm new here, just trying to meet everyone. Interesting crew here."
----
Lucy – Revisit

Lucy looked momentarily perturbed at the activity in the training room (notably moreso the people than Mahvash's hardlight play) before she shook the feeling of awkwardness off, deciding to lead with the one she knew out of all of them.

"Long time no see, Mahvash. Thought I'd come on by today. See how everyone's doing," she greeted with a small smile—walking right up to the daeva and giving her a short hug. "So what's this? Hamilton, or breaking in the newbies? Or both?"
----
"She's...trying to make bards? That will dance and call on her for power?" Vivian supplied, still looking a little confused.
----
"Don't worry" Sam said "I don't get half the stuff that comes out of her mouth, and I'd rather stay away from what passes through her head. I am Samuel, by the way, Samuel Everett, Sam for everyone"
----
Vivian turned to him and waved. "Howdy. Maybe I should wear a nametag until I meet everyone. Vivian."
----
'''zach! It’s really nice to meet you!'''
----
Mahvash momentarily looked away from the girl hugging her to twist her head toward Vivian, making a strained creak. "...Yes." More or less right. And not her squad or her responsibility anyway.

"No, I'm not breaking the newbies." Between the Wii training lass, all the new company, coming down from the mood and being clinged on by--she felt Zach's ink-words and he did not address her by name--this other girl, she just gave a thin smile. "And I got this one from Looney Tunes."
''Did she come with Vivian? I distinctly recall Kilgore announcing one new student.''
----
Vivian shook her head, grinning. "Yep, new kid in town. Feels familiar," she muttered to herself. She turned in a slow circle, taking in the room and the people in it. Ok, so Mahvash was a little...odd. Sam and Sally seemed friendly. Lucy clearly either knew Mahvash more than the other liked or had made a mistake, but she was obviously affectionate. Interesting.(edited)
----
Lucy – Revisit

...Huh. Typical Mahvash.

"Don't remember me?" she queried, breaking away from the daeva and momentarily shifting into a shorter and distinctly more unhealthy-looking version of herself with a ripple of ink. "Lucy? Girl who wouldn't stop crying, went #$&%ing insane at one point? Nearly tried to kill you and was generally an insufferable ass to you? That Lucy?"

The bitterness and profanity probably wouldn't help refresh her memory anyway. She shifted back.

"But... yeah. Been thinking. A lot. If I can't understand how you think, then screw it—I won't try anymore. No point," she shrugged, before frowning in contemplation. "I'm sure we had a link at some point... is that gone or is it still there? Didn't... like, lose reception while I was in Sweden, right?"
----
Revisit - Training Room
One Face Fault later... "Oh, that's grand..." Mahvash mumbled into the floor. "I have not forgotten a link in..." ''that'd give away my age wouldn't it?'' "a long time. Now I can tell mother she's doing too much."

The daeva flipped, getting to her feet and shaking her head. "That's my entire set of social encounters..." she put a finger to her chin. "ever. Except for girl and Lucy. " She wiped dust off her chin before putting her hands behind her back. "I do remember a modest link with a girl who crossed space and time and led an entire crop of the academy's finest out of the Abyss." ''Now..''
----
Lucy – Revisit

For the first time in a few months, Lucy blushed in the manner she used to—though didn't cave in on herself self-consciously as much as awkwardly scratch the back of her head.

"I mean... I-I didn't really do much... I just kinda showed up and said what was obvious, really..." she stammered, before clearing her throat. "Haven't... tried that again. Puny human brain and all that. But hey. At least it's a better thing to remember me by than the alternative..." she muttered under her breath.
----
Crop. I love it when someone refers to humans by group names like that. A gaggle of students. Mark of a real people person. Vivian kept smiling, though. Puny human brain. Oh yes, very interesting. I'll have to write all of this down later. She silently walked out of the room, pondering everything she'd seen.(edited)
----
Revisit - Training Room
"Eh, practice makes perfect. The worst that happens is grey matter leaks out of your nose and you end up on the same wavelength as Nasu..." she trailed off a moment, imagining a mind meld with big sis before banishing the thought as soon as metaphysically possible.

"Oh don't play yourself down like that," she waved as if literally pushing the thought down. "Besides, if anyone thought of you the other way, you wouldn't have arrived here with an entourage."
----
Lucy – Revisit

"Oh. I was wondering what that giggling was."

Probably shouldn't have said that out loud.

"Anyway– wait, entourage? I didn't arrive with an... entourage..." she frowned, looking all around the room. "I mean, Hei dropped me off but he had something to do... something about a bus, I dunno..."
----
"First off, I did not hear that," Mahvash delicately turned Lucy round, now treating the girl like the something between the White Mouse and the finest porcelain for the slimmest chance that she had anything to do with Nasu.

"I mean the gaggle of students you gathered. You even gave Samuel energy."
----
Lucy seems pretty nice.
"Hello, Lucy. My name is Sally Martel. I am one of the new students here this year. I have heard about you before. It's nice to meet you. I think I have heard of you from Mother and Mahvash." She extended her hand out for a handshake to Lucy.
----
Dante – Revisit
Dante was just strolling around, until he saw a group of people. There are two that he didn't recognize.
"Hi, miss, I am Dante Precossini, your Carnival Prince...", Dante introduced himself to Lucy.
----
Lucy – Revisit

"...Oh. Right," Lucy blinked, still looking a little confused. "I wouldn't call it a gaggle though–"

And then Sally and Dante decided to directly contradict that statement by walking up to her and introducing themselves. Ah well.

"Yup. That's me. Hope I'm not too infamous now. Last year was... well it was something..." she mused reminiscently. "Still, nice to meet you all. It's weird to see guys like Sam and Mahvash still sticking around with all these new faces. So tell me. What uh... typical class activities have you been up to so far? I'm curious."
----
"So far, we actually managed to get some hanging out time" Sam commented "Mostly small groups, though, stuff like hitting a club, or making a movie night. Not that many... explosive interruptions" He looked at the side "Kinda makes me feel guilty about last year, to be honest, I spent too much time ignoring everyone else"
----
'''Well, at the very least you're making up for it! Shoot, you're still pretty bad, I can't imagine you being worse.''' Zach teased with a smile before he looked between the...veterans, seniors, would be the right term for this and scratched his head. '''Geez, it was worse last year? And here I thought having a nuke dropped on us was pretty chaotic...'''
----
Lucy – Revisit

"...Honestly I was about to say ‘just a nuke?’" Lucy murmured after a lengthy silence, rubbing her temples as if an old and familiar headache was beginning to return. "Last year we had an accident in the training room. Interdimensional portal showed up, sucked us all in, next thing we knew everything was gone. The school was empty. And there were..." she paused, glancing between the others before taking a shuddering breath. "...b-bodies. Everything was dead. I don't even think we heard birds. And then..."

She had gone rather green now, but she powered on nonetheless.

"...we saw... we saw me."
----
Sam knew what she was talking about, and moved to support Lucy. Putting a hand on her shoulder, looking extremely grim.
----
Revisit

The silence was heavy and thick, and he didn't think he liked it. Blinking a little bit and looking between the two of them, one hand reached over and rubbed his other arm slowly. Finally, one tendril snaked its way out from under his shirt to continue his thought process, his hands suddenly feeling prickly and uncomfortable.

Saw...you?
----
Lucy – Revisit

Lucy violently shuddered, before taking a breath and nodding as Sam placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

You've dug your grave this far, Luce. Might as well finish it.

"...I... we saw me. An... older me. She was... wrong. Insane. See... not too long before I'd... snapped. I'd lashed out at Mahvash, and she got a shot on me. She said "I don't care", but I didn't realise until later she wasn't talking about me. She was talking about the fact I tried to kill her."

Damn her and her selective vagueness.

"Hei... my boyfriend... he got me out of there. But I don't think he came for her. Maybe he got caught up. But... I know that I... I'd started to think."

She moved to sit down—primarily because she was trembling so much she was afraid she was about to fall over—before continuing.

"I felt... like I was alone. I... I wasn't in a good place. I-I think Hei not showing up for her broke her. She... she killed everyone. She tortured Mahvash. She... she #$&%ing assimilated Hei, and..."

She groaned, burying her head into her hands.

"...a-and I was so close to being her."


----
Revisit

...oh.

The story came loud and clear to him, staring down at her silently and keeping his hand on his iron-tight grip on his arm. He did remember Sam telling him a little about Lucy. How he was her friend. How she could use ink. How she left after going to a dark place.

He really didn't realize that dark was the proper word for the what-could-have-beens.

He didn't know Lucy anywhere NEAR well enough like Sam, like Mahvash and a few other people in his class. He didn't know her enough to try to justify anything to calm her down. He felt he didn't have the right to say anything even remotely close to "But you're not, and that's what's important", because those words came hollow from someone who didn't suffer like she did.

So all he could was apologize.

God...I'm so...so sorry... His ink wrote slowly, flitting through the air before hiding back in his shirt.

----
Lucy – Revisit

Lucy could only issue a small nod of acknowledgement before she drew her hands away from her face and leaned back with an exhausted sigh.

"...I'm... she's gone. For good. And I swear to god she's never gonna come out in me. She... wasn't real. Not here, at least. She was just a ‘what-if’."

She didn't sound entirely convinced of it, though.

"I'm sorry I... I dumped this on you. I should be over it by now, but... no, I shouldn't have dredged it up. I'm sorry."
----
"Hey, don't worry about it" Sam said "Facing something so close to home is no joke, hell, I am not over attacking a Lucy like that, even if isn't you"

"I got my own screw ups I am still not over, but as long as I can move forward, it's what matters, I think"
----
Revisit

'''That's the important part. What Sam said, we just need to move forward from the stuff that we've done in the past. Especially the scary stuff.'''

He tried to offer a little smile, still feeling incredibly out of place about the whole thing.

'''I mean, you're here now and you have a lot going for you. That's what's important right? Friends, someone who loves you, a fresh start...'''
----
Lucy – Revisit

"I... I guess so..."

She raised her head back up, returning Zach's smile with an equally small one of her own.

"Thanks. I... probably still haven't made a good first impression though. Oh I'm better. Honest," she said almost bitterly, before shaking her head. "No. Enough of that. Thanks, guys. That means a lot to me," she smiled a little more genuinely.

----
Sally - Revisit
Realizing just how much had unfurled, she calmly says to Lucy:
"Hey, it will be okay. I have heard good things about you and while I don't know you to well, you are a nice girl." Sally says, hoping that would help.
----
Vivian hadn't gone very far before stopping to listen to Lucy's story. As if went on, she began leaning against the wall, then sitting.
When it finished, she got up again and continued walking, her face thoughtful.

----
Sam felt the heavy moment, and felt like he had to say something to lighten the mood

"But leaving that aside" He said "Didn't you want to show off a little, Inkwell?" He said, teasingly.

----
Lucy – Revisit

"Well... okay," Lucy relented, smirking up at Sam before getting up and lightly punching him in the arm. "Why not put something on from the simulation? We're already here, I mean. Unless you wanna spar or something? Kinda... don't wanna just be a sideshow by myself or anything, you know? Wanna have some point to it," she added hesitantly.

Still, should be interesting. They haven't seen me in a while, after all. Though I haven't exactly been able to top meteor-punching a turret with normal muggers... much as I'd want to.
----
Revisit

'''Oh! Yeah, I'd love to see a veteran with ink powers and what they can do. Maybe give me some ideas on what I can do with my own ink powers. Maybe let me have some insight.''' Zach's grin only grew as he quickly went off to one side to watch the show, ready to take mental notes about this sorta thing.

This is gonna be GREAT. He thought to himself.

----
Sam pressed a few buttons himself, as the room changed into...

A Rolling Stones concert "Ah, no" He said, sheepishly "That was for when I got bored" He pressed some others, and the training room changed once again.

This time, as the room darkened, before starting to glow in a red light, as an alarm started blaring, signaling the escape of a dangerous specimen.

"Is this to your liking?"
----
Lucy – Revisit

Lucy stretched a little, before nodding.

"Yeah. Perfect."

With a slight ripple of her form, she moulded a sleeker variant of her initial suit around her body—the physical version of which she had quickly found to be redundant on the field—and one that was now entirely jet black with a few grey highlights; most notably in the form of the peace symbol emblazoned on her chest. The melanokinetic swiftly liquidized and pressed herself against the floor, shifting pigmentation so as to match the pattern while sending up a duplicate of herself shortly after.

Unknown situation: scout ahead. Rely on cunning. Figure out your opponent, while making sure it can't figure out you. Be everywhere. Be Batman.

...

Okay, don't be Batman. Be better than Batman.
----
Vivian stopped, suddenly. Why was she walking away? She wanted to learn more about these guys, right? So why leave.? She hurried back to the training room. Vivian sidled up to Sam and whispered, "What's she doing?"

----
Sam kept his eyes on Lucy, as she started making her way into the base.

"She wanted to show what she could do" He said, to Vivian without really turning "She can turn into ink, create it to an unknown extent, control it, and change colors, so far, she basically camouflaged herself and is using a duplicate as a decoy, anything beyond that remains to be seen" Good luck, Luce

Of course, it wasn't long before she ran into something, as a few drops of came down to the floor dissolving it, as an horrible, twisting abomination stared at the duplicate, so far, it looked mostly flesh colored, but several spots looked like they are rotting, two big rows of fanged teeth adorned its mouth, making a strange, growling, abominable sound. Its hands looked like claws of an animal, as its thin fingers were making holes in the roof, and several on the walls, and its feet were oddly shaped.

How the encounter will go, one can wonder?
----
Mahvash did not bother continuing the opera when the others showed and Lucy was on a roll, so ...eh. "I'll show you the whole stageshow later, Sally." She nodded at the girl.

----
"Interesting." Vivian was watching intently, shifting from foot to foot. This place was amazing. She'd known thay had some kind of training facility but this....

----
Lucy – Revisit

Oh, great. Starting off small, eh Sam? Lucy sarcastically thought, subtly rippling her main mass out further along the floor and letting it split apart into patches. Alright. Let's try...

Around six ink dolls rose up from the puddles on the floor as Lucy worked on further spreading her ink across the walls and roof; aiming to get as much usable ground as possible. The creature looked like no joke, and so she caused the dolls (which were noticeably less sporadic in movement and distinctly refined in detail than when they had last seen them) to siphon off part of their mass in the form of tendrils—which weaved their way toward the creature in the intent to restrain (or at least irritate) it. More tendrils began to sprout from other surfaces; passively waving about as if in waiting.

Let the opponent(s) get the first strike. Encouragement allowed on risk of counterattack. Ascertain skill level compared to brute force.

Well it looked pretty #$&%ing brutish at least.
----
The creature looked at the shadowy figure, and, placing behind it, leaped, claws ready to cut something big. The arms twisted in ways they shouldn't, popping and cracking sickeningly.

"It's interesting to see the scenarios one can make with this" Sam commented.
----
Lucy – Revisit

Well, Lucy most certainly didn't let her dolls just stick around. The one targeted by the creature leapt into the air with an accompanying burst of ink as the rest simply collapsed into the floor; having failed to restrain the creature and thus deemed redundant. Lucy herself reformed from behind it while her single remaining clone shot rapid pellets of hardened ink at its eyes in attempt to distract it—the actual melanokinetic attaching a tendril to the ceiling above it and forming a hardened spike on her other arm.

Back of the neck, she decided as she propelled herself into a swinging arc—aiming to spear at the creature's neck with her high velocity as she shot forward towards it. Efficient subjugation means less collateral, and by extension less chance of someone getting hurt. Full power when going for the final strike.
----
Vivian nodded in approval as she watched Lucy. "Yep, she's pretty damned good. I know you guys have had some rough times, but clearly you haven't gotten sloppy."
She folded her arms. "Is this a realistic scenario, or just out of your mind?"

----
Revisit

Zach, meanwhile, watched with silent awe at the sight before him. This was a whole new LEVEL of power he never even heard, nor thought of, for ink. He was almost kind of jealous! She was capable of SO MUCH it just made him want to train that much harder. He was silent to the side of Sam and Vivian, taking in everything Lucy was doing, an dhow she did it.
----
"Yep, she is amazing" Sam said, with a smile, but shrugged at the question.

"It depends" He said "Someone creating a feral being and it coming back to bite them, perhaps literally? Seems fairly common. But the specifics were just because I was messing around, so I put stuff like 'big', 'strong', and 'twists unnaturally'" He paused.

No more horror movies for a few days
----
Viv grinned. "Put in something to screw with her. Like a unicorn! Or a killer doll!"

----
Sam raised an eyebrow, but wondered what kind of enemy would be troublesome for Lucy. Well, time to improvise.

As the area changed, finding herself in a snowy field, in front of a tall, unnaturally pale asian woman in a white kimono, with a strange cold aura around her.

A Yuki-Onna.
----
Lucy – Revisit

Lucy blanched at the sight of the woman, feeling a sense of dread potent enough for her to expand her costume's cloak conansiderably—coating her in makeshift inky fabric and hiding her features beneath an ominous, wraithlike exterior.

I swear I've seen one of these before... not sure. She doesn't look right, though. I'm guessing ice powers? Sam, you sneaky bastard...

Deciding to play it slow, Lucy let a multitude of tendrils unfurl from the base of her tattered mimicry of robes, cautiously weaving them towards the yōkai in order to see what it'd do.

Only for them to stop.

After a pause of thought, she let them converge into a message instead.

Kon'nichiwa.

She severely hoped that was the correct greeting.(edited)

----
The Yuki-Onna waved at the ink girl with a cute smile, calling Lucy to come closer. Of course, she had her own traps ready to spring.

"Lucy, after this one, let's change places" Sam said, if nothing else, before he really did something stupid.
----
Lucy – Revisit

"Okay, Sam."

The girl's voice was displaced.

Her cloaked form complied with the yōkai's wishes, though. Tendrils sprouted beneath its robes as it crept towards the yuki-onna—one taloned hand slowly raising up as if to... shake its hand. Not strike. Despite the claws being clearly lethal. The wraith-like figure's posture was anything but tense. Lucy was completely, utterly relaxed.
----
The woman smiled, grabbing the hand, as everything beneath crumbled.
----
Lucy – Revisit

The Wraith fell with the yōkai.

But the rest of the ink remained.

The lack of floor didn't stop it. Regardless of the fact it was simulated anyway. It floated in place, as if it hadn't vanished at all.

It then began to gather, swirling into a sphere. The odd glimmer of light broke through it as it congealed together. The old, familiar glint of Livingston Willpower.

Lucy reformed—beating batlike wings more for show than out of necessity—before levitating out of the simulation and landing with the others.

"You're really wanting me to distrust cryos, aren't you Sam?" she asked in a humorous tone.
----
"Just messing with you" Sam laughed a bit. "Guess it's your turn to mess with me, isn't it?" He made a small statue of a pegasus and left it in front of her, jumping into position.

----
Revisit

That...

Was...

....

AMAZING.

It took Zach everything in his power to not overwhelm the girl and possibly frighten her off. He'd known such little in terms of his own powers, and to see them used in, well, the hands of a pro, was unlike anything he'd seen before. He was gobsmacked, awestruck, all that good stuff!

He turnd to Lucy and wrote excitedly, Do you-Do you think you could teach me a few tricks? I know I can't do EVERYTHING you could do but I'd love to learn regardless! A pause. After Sam I mean. only fair.
----
Lucy – Revisit

"Uh... sure," Lucy started, looking a little taken aback at Zach's excitement but feeling pleased nonetheless. "I guess I could show you a few things I've learned... A lot of it is control, I guess, so maybe..."

She trailed off, before nodding in affirmation. "Yeah. I'll do that. Now to get back at Sam."

Now... who should I pin up against him...?

Her brain whispered something, and her face fell into something unreadable. With a few button presses, Sam received his opponent.

A lanky, unkempt looking man in his mid-to-late thirties with a dull set of clothing and a cigarette between his lips. Not for long, though. He soon plucked it out with his fingers and crushed it underfoot—massive plates of slate sliding out from beneath his skin as lava spewed from the remaining uncovered surfaces. A man of magma. And one undoubtedly familiar.

Lucy's lips pursed with a forced smile.

"Kick his ass for me, Sam."
----
Revisit
Mahvash tilted her head at Lucy's choice. Oh that one... Good times. I finally got my fellows to dip into some bloodlust at the same time as I tried out diplomacy. And he fared that explosion better than I did. I wonder if she's thinking up the best ways to assassinate him?
----
Sam just shook his head at that "Have some unresolved grudges, Luce?" He asked. A volcano man? Fairly predictable choice for him, but there was some history he ignores. Well, not his place to ask, so he simply focused on the combat.

There was nothing he shouldn't be able to freeze, and pushing farther, that was soon to be a reality.

Let's see what you are made of

With a strong blizzard, he opened up, deciding to test him before going for the victory.
----
Lucy – Revisit

Sam's volcanic opponent met his freezing blizzard with a colossal heatwave of his own; matching the temperature in the opposite direction and causing a visible distortion in the air where the two drastically different climates impacted. With what began as a slow jog, the magma-fueled golem made to rush at the cryokinetic—picking up speed into a dangerously fast sprint before bounding into a massive leap that almost impacted the construct against the ceiling.

Once at the peak of its jump, the magmakinetic pulled back its bulky fist and shot out a jet of intense liquid flame from its elbow—aiming to crush Sam under a high-velocity aerial strike. Lucy watched on in silence, not seeming to be watching either of them specifically.

She seemed to be off in her own little world.
----
The impact was quite strong, and had Sam been in that place, he might have not left much behind.

But on the floor wasn't the flesh and bone Samuel Everett.

But a statue of himself, making a stupid face. Only leaving the head as it broke and melted Going to impact the magma man's own.

"Nice try" Sam said, appearing right behind him, and trying to freeze and shatter the magma on his arms. "But I gotta show what I've got" A cold wind was the only hint that he moved at all.
----
Revisit

The magma man let out perhaps the slightest grunt of surprise. His arms shattered clean off at Sam's strike, and the head of his statuette clonked him on the temple just as he turned to glare at him through pair of solid orange jets of flame. The magmokinetic promptly slammed the remains of his slate-layered arm back into Sam in the form of a vicious backhand; simultaneously stomping his foot against the floor and sending an array of volcanic spikes up from the floor to follow his trajectory.

"...His name's Lucius," Lucy finally informed for the benefit of those unaware. "In the drug running business. Anger issues and smoking habit equals volcanic tendencies. Such is the case of a Livingston."

Her smile became saddened as she tore her gaze away from the man who only by technicality was her father.

"Awful with names, too..."
----
Sam knew he had to move fast, even if it was difficult, he used two platforms under his feet to stabilize and move out of the way of the spikes.

"OK, no more playing nice" And with that, the field was covered by a snowstorm, ready to freeze everything else, but he was moving around, without aclear pattern midair. Picking up several of the remains of spikes, and with his own ice, he formed fists, hammers and blunt weapons, sending them against Lucius from all directions, and so fast, it was a great impact for sure.

At least I can be somewhat impressive He thought I might have been a complete failure when I tried to be big brotherly last year, but at least, I can do this
----
Revisit

Lucius barely managed to brace himself and create a shield of slate in front of him when the barrage hit. The ice-coated constructs of volcanic rock shattered upon impacting his makeshift barrier—breaking into shards that pierced into the seams between the plates of his armour behind it and threatening to prise it apart. Lucius gritted his teeth as the attack finally ended; drawing in a huge breath before exuding a colossal stream of white-hot molten rock from his mouth towards the cryokinetic. Nonetheless, it was clear that he was staggering. The spikes embedded in his joints impeded his movements, and the now loose armour plating looked fit to be pulled right off of him.

Lucy caught Sam's eye, and nodded grimly; setting her jaw as she locked gazes with the hardlight form of her father. A minute nod spoke everything the cryokinetic would need.

Finish it.

----
Sam looked at Lucy, after ducking the stream of magma, disappearing in a blizzard, himself.

"Too slow" He said, making an arm go for the jaw. But he just looked at Lucy.

"Are you Okay?" He mouthed.

----
Revisit

The jaw-punch looked to be the final straw. Or would've been if the simulation didn't halt just after that satisfying moment where Lucius's head snapped back from the force. Sam's silent question to Lucy seemed to have snapped her out of her trance; and she shook her head.

"I-I'm fine. Yeah. Sorry. I... lost myself for a minute there."

She flashed him a short, distinctly forced smile. "Great job, though. Didn't mean to spring him on you, but it was all I could think of. You've gotten a lot stronger, Sam," she noted—not quite referring to his capabilities as much as the alternative meanings.

----
Sam wiped some sweat of his brow, looking at her worriedly. While he couldn't think of much to say, but he had to do something for Lucy.

So he hugged her. While it might have felt unpleasant for her., he felt like it was the best idea he could come up with.

----
Lucy – Revisit

"I... o-oh..."

Lucy was caught off-guard by Sam's display of affection, but nonetheless appreciated it. Smiling a little, she hugged him back for a brief second before pulling away.

"...Thanks. I... I needed that. I think I'm okay."

Shaking it off, she cleared her throat—turning back towards the others a little more cheerfully.

"So! Uh... what do you guys think?"

----
Revisit - Zach

Well, I feel like I'd be just repeating myself if I said I didn't think it was AMAZING. Zach wrote a bit more calmly after that little nerdgasm earlier, deciding to take things slower as to not scare the senior away.

Sam, I already knew was strong, I've only seen him work a few times but that.,..that was GOOD. And, well, I already know you're amazing. Is that the quota you reach when you're past a first year? I can't WAIT
----
Sam simply chuckled, before deciding to take her to meet the rest, with maybe a few warnings.

Class 1 might be something of a madhouse, but old or new, they had a way to take care of each other.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Valentine's Day]]
[[quoteblock]]''Well, the time has arrived. Love is in the air, and it was time to be romantic, to show some romance, or to gag and laugh to the people with couples. Even the people in Saint Academy knew that, and were getting ready for their day, however it was supposed to go.'' \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

"Have to fight 'em off with a stick swear to high heavens," Clay shivered at the memory of some of the 'fans' Class-1 had gained outside of school, which made just walking around in public a hassel to be sure. But it was worth it for what he now had in his bag, the sure fire Valentine gift for one specific gal in the school. Now he just had to figure out where she would be holed up at this time of day and make the delivery with his usual suave nature. Or well, rough southern charm was about as close as he got to suave but it would have to do. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

The liberation of being free offered quite a bit of....content in the melanokinetic, and it certainly offered quite a bit of recollection of his thoughts. He'd come a long way in the months he was here, from feeling like an actual hero, to getting his curse fixed properly, to finding someone who made him one hundred percent truly happy...

All from the same girl.

He was currently leaning against the wall as he eyed the ornate little ring that had been passed down in his mothers legacy for some time now, being forced to have it and "make a proper wife out of this girl", says his mother.

So maybe...MAYBE...Valentines day was the perfect time to have that question dropped. He had the rest of his life to do it, so why waste all that time if he knew it was something he wanted? \\\

'''Evelyn''' \\\

Ooh boy. This awkward time. Evelyn had only ever experienced Valentine's Day once before, and honestly it was one of the strangest experiences of her life. Not because people asked her out or sent her cards or any of that nonsense—as that would require a sense of maturity and capability from her old classmates—but simply witnessing the antics was enough to render her speechless and confused for the rest of that day.

And now it had rolled around again.

Perhaps it was the greater exposure to the strange and unconventional, but she was feeling a lot more stares on her recently—and especially today. She wasn't sure if she liked it or not. It put her on edge. A prolonged stare back with her Third Eye usually scared them off, thankfully, but some of them were persistent. Disturbingly persistent, in fact...

She decided it was best to start walking. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

Being a pretty boy tended to have a few ups and downs. Adding an animal shape, makes things even trickier, even if he hadn't shown it off all that much. Looking at his bounty, he felt mildly satisfied, even if a few things were a bit creepy, and he made sure to toss those away. Even if he did like the chocolate.

But Zach looked thoughtful, and he decided to help out. After all, he didn't have any plans for the day.

"Need some help with your day, man?" He asked. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

Zach jumped almost a solid foot in the air, his eyes wide and nearly dropping the ring in question, barely managing to catch it and staying in that position. With a firm grip on the object in question, he sighed heavily and pocketed it before anything else could be done to cause wacky Looney-toons esque shenanigans.

Oh, hey man. He said as he grinned.Well, um, actually, funny you mention that. He gestured over to him. I'm not sure if you CAN help...but hell, maybe you can! I'm nervous, I'm rambling. I'm trying to... He looked around for a moment, making sure nothing seemed out of the ordinary that you would find in a hallway, in case a certain shape shifter was around here SOMEWHERE.

Knowing his luck, she was.

I think I want to propose to Yoko today. He "whisper wrote" to him, looking over his shoulder. \\\


'''Sam''' \\\
The cryokinetic blinked, not seeing that coming, but then smiled.

"Congratulations" He whispered "Want to ask her in a special way? I mean, she'll probably accept if you just wave the ring in front of her, but still, this is the big one." \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

Well yes, of course I know I could just-ASK-, but I want it to be special! You know, Valentines Day, big day of romance, the fact I'm going to be living forever ad I want to be symbolic and the fact my mom will kill me if I don't...there's a lot of factors here!

He took a deep, quiet breath and nodded his head firmly. So yes, I wanna ask her in a Special Way. \\\

'''Finn''' \\\
"Okay, finished!"
It was Valentine's day and well Finn was amongst the legions of those who are single. Instead just sitting in his room all day lamenting, he decided there was something positive that could be done. With permission, he was allowed to turn one room into an area where singles could hang out. He had a entertainment and food set out. Finally, he taped a sign, informing this was the singles room for hanging out. \\\

'''Shane''' \\\

Shane's Valentines was a rather predictable affair - in that Shane had already planned out how to spend the entire day shagging various girls. He didn't so much have one dedicated Valentine as much as various lucky admirers. Not since Dawn left...well, he tried not to fixate on the depressing bits. Shane jogged downstairs and saw the guys talking. Shane had his phone out with a few active conversations going on in text messages.

"Hey guys, I can guess what Zach's doing for Valentines Day...well, more to the point who he's doing, but Sammy...do you got a cutie-patootie yet?" Shane paused for a second and then admitted, "Me, I've got a few girls I am gonna be visiting today. Bethany wants to meet up in an hour and a half, Suzanne wants to skinny dip in a few hours after that..." \\\

'''Sam''' \\\
Sam decided to offer Zach some chocolate he himself got. It'd be a shame if it got wasted, after all.

Shane's arrival made his plan a bit clearer.

"As much as I'd like to, Zach here has his big plans, and he's gonna need help at setting it up. Gotta look out for a bro, after all" He said. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

Taking a deep, deep, silent breath at Shane's approach, Zach decided for the mean time to simply...bury the hatchet. The admitedly one sided hatchet, but bury it none the less. He needed to be on his A-Game today, no distractions, no down thoughts, just how to make this all pristine and perfect.

And Sam sticking by him was always a good start. He offered a smile and a thankful nod of his head, turning to Shane and offering a little smile. You...sound like you have a busy day today. I do hope you find time for all those ladies, at the least. Lord knows someone like you can do it easily though. \\\

'''Sally''' \\\
"Okay, you can do this. Believe in yourself. "
Sally was under the stairs, holding the handmade chocolate. It was about decent sized and had a cute design. Earlier today, she had handed out small chocolates to everyone in the class. However, this chocolate was more special though. Getting up, she starting wondering around the halls, holding the wrapped chocolate close. \\\

'''Ryuu''' \\\

Well, time for a nap, call out if things get dangerous Sorano said, as Ryuu got the heart shaped necklace in a box in his pocket. It was a great idea in his opinion.

Okay, he could do this.

Even if the earth swallowing him was a tempting fate, he will give this gift.

Come on, dragon boy No fear, no misfortune, and no jelly legs and wish to flee to Scotland will stop him.

Now, he just has to find her. \\\

'''Yoko''' \\\\

Well Zach was getting savvy to Yoko's antics, as she had taken the form of a random classmate she had constructed using attributes of her other classmates to try and sneak another attack-hug onto him. But the latter part of the conversation caught her attention (specifically the ‘big plans’ part) and so she elected to wait a bit before she made her approach.

Paradoxically, she didn't like to intrude.

"Zach-kun!"

GLOMP

Intruding in personal space, however, was an entirely different matter. As should have been expected by this point. The others got a more subdued greeting (in comparison) in the form of a cheeky, shut-eyed grin and a cheery wave.

"Hey, guys! Excited for today?"

This question was laced with an air of both mischief and a dangerous amount of awareness. One got the impression she was using it as a starting point for relentless teasing for the rest of the today. And she was going to enjoy it.
Ash

...#$&%, I slept in...

Bleary eyed, she sleepily reached out for her phone and turned it on.

...Ah, crap... did I miss classes...?

She almost considered getting out of bed, but the combination of a morning headache and her then spotting what the date was was enough for her to decide against it and flop facedown back onto her pillow.

Ah, #$&% it.

She heaved a sigh.

So getting my ass whupped for this... \\\

'''Rebecca - Dorms''' \\\

Not long after Ash woke up, there was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Hey, Ash, you awake? " came Rebecca's voice, "I was thinking, seeing as it's Valentine's and we're both single (I hope)" this last part was muttered under her breath, "maybe we could go out on the town together. You know, have a girls' day or something." \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

He heard the cry and everything seemed to go in slow motion. To Sam and Shane, they watched the expressions change from general, content happiness and quiet appreciation with Sam's help, to sudden, dawning horror when he realized what he was about to experience.

Ring stillin his hand, panic setting in and probably living in the middle of some kind of wacky rom-com, Zach did the only thing that made sense to himself. As she launched herself, his hand swung up.

He put the ring into his mouth.

And he swallowed it.

The glomp struck him and almost rocked him off his feet, but he caught himself in time (plus, his ink shot out and kept him uprigth, which was nice), and the look of panic was wiped away with a little smile.

Hello dear, sweetheart, love of my life, we were absolutely doing nothing wrong or suspect RIGHT GUYS? He asked, with heavy emphasis and a pleading look to both Sam and Shane to keep their mouths shut about the whole thing. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

"Hey, Yoko" Sam said, casually "Just joking and wishing luck for Valentine's" He said. Zach's swallowing of the ring made him want to face palm, but his thoughts were interrupted by how much Zach failed at acting naturally, but decided to help out.

"Eh, he wanted to make sure he won't botch things up and needed reassurance" \\\

'''Ash''' \\\

...‘Girls' day.’

Ash groaned.

#$&%ing girls' day my ass...!

There was about five seconds of silence before she heaved a sigh and prised herself out of bed. Trudging over to the door, she flung it open—staring up at Rebecca through half-lidded, unamused eyes.

Until she shrugged.

"Eh, #$&% it. Why not. I'll meet you in five."

She met her in two, actually. One got the impression she rushed through the process of getting ready. But whatever the case, she was soon at the door again dressed in her usual attire.

"Alright then. Humour me. Uhm..." she paused, looking a little uncertain as she glanced about for any sign of Ryuu before continuing.

"...what exactly do girls do on a... on a day out thingy?" \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

It had taken some time to actually find Evelyn, mostly because the girl knew how to make herself scarse on instinct. However he was the fourth best tracker of the Bright Riders and he would be damned if he wasn't able to find a cute girl in the crowd. Now came the time to be careful however, she was jumpier then a rabbit around a fox so the approach would need to be just right.

He decided that slow and steady would be better, not trying to mask his moments and giving her a "Hey there darling," long before he was inside of her personal space. That was simple stuff, anyone who had met the girl would be able to figure that out. Step two was a bit trickier, as she would no doubt feel uncomfortable with a gift even on a day like this. "So I was fixing up some grub yesterday and decided to try my hand at something new. Seems I went and made too many, and seeing as how its some special holiday I thought we could share them," he brought his eyes down so she could look through him and opened the box, revealing a number of chocolate and vanilla covered strawberries. It looked like he had tried to do some designs, but it hadn't quite shook out. \\\

'''Sally''' \\\

Sally was still wandering about the school.

"Okay, where should I go for now? Am I just being aimless because well...no I can't be nervous. Let's just keep going." Looking up she realized she had walked up to one of the high floors she wasn't familiar with.

"Whoops, where am I?" \\\

'''Evelyn''' \\\

...Oh my god.

"O-Oh... that's... that's really..."

Oh my god that's so cute.

"...oh... that's really sweet... thank you...!"

It really looks like he tried to– wait, share?

She momentarily blanched, but soon shook off the feeling in favour of trying to inject as much sincerity into her appreciation of the gesture as possible. Evelyn's naturally passive mannerisms meant that sometimes she felt as if her gratitude never really got across as much as she would like it to. Still, she couldn't hide the small smile on her face. Which to her was equivalent of a full-fledged grin.

That and the blush. But that was basically unspoken. She had no control over that. Especially with her complexion.

"You... you made all these yourself?" she eventually asked after what she personally felt to be an awkward pause—disconnecting her vision from Clay's and focusing her Third Eye on the strawberries so as to get a more detailed view of them. "I... I didn't know you could cook..."

Well, ‘cook’ was a bit of an exaggeration. But considering her own experience (or lack thereof) regarding anything remotely related to the kitchen, dropping an egg on the hard floor was the closest she ever got to scrambling it.

So it wasn't as if she had a great understanding of the more intricate processes. \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

"Well I can do a little this and that, but honestly I ain't what one might call a proper cook," which wasn't to say that he couldn't, just that his tastes tended toward more plain meals. If he ate too much he would probably lose his title of fastest hand and switch over to 'largest gut' in the states. Modern day meals simply had too much going on for him to deny wanting himself more. "But I saw this on the t.v., just melt down some chocolates and dip things in 'em, even my fool self could do that much."

He chose to not mention the burned pots where he had scorched the chocolate rather then just melt it down, figuring that his pride was worth maintaining on that fact. "My momma said if you want to show a gal how you feel you should do somethin with your own two hands. Oh wait no shoot I mean, you know I just thought of that, not that I...ah shoot, I can't keep a secret to save my life." he had meant to keep up the illusion of just making them on a whim, but he had shot himself in the foot.

"So what you say," he lifted one of the candy covered berries up for her. "I didn't get much chance to try them yet, car to take the first test?" \\\

'''Shane''' \\\

"Dude what are you---isn't that---" Shane was basically sputtering for words, trying desperately to figure out how to respond to this. Shane tried desperately when Yoko came over to assume a normal act, but between Zach swallowing the fucking ring and this whole thing, he couldn't stop himself from jerking his head toward Zach every few moments. "Uhhh huuuuh...yeah yeah yeah nothing wrong or sus---suspect here, no ring finagling no nothing nothing...hahaha...ha, Zach just signed a really good joke. And I'm...I'm still laughing about it."

He tried to salvage this by telling the supposed joke. "What did the bear say when his friends kept arguing? Your arguing is becoming unbearable!" \\\

'''Ryuu''' \\\

Deciding to make things simple, he went to the roof. When there is no other place to go but up, things could be taken calmly over there.

Once arriving there, he sent a text letting her know he was there. Sitting down, he simply wondered what he should say. \\\

'''Evelyn''' \\\

She smiled shyly as he offered it to her, before delicately accepting it and taking an experimental bite.

...Huh.

It was actually pretty good.

More specifically, it tasted of something. What with the basic gruel from the E·Y·E camp on one end of the scale and her surrogate parents' preference to boiled cabbage and shriveled roast dinners on the other, the girl was honestly taken aback by the taste. Old instincts began to rise to the surface, and she nearly ravaged the entire box before she managed to redirect the feeling to her half-eaten strawberry instead—practically swallowing it whole with her sheer speed.

To Clay, Evelyn's usually reserved demeanour had been replaced by that of a frightened wild animal for the smallest fraction of a second. Something she seemed to be all too aware of, as she swallowed hard and turned a deep shade of red.

"...S-sorry, it's... old habits. They're really nice, see..." she explained a little sheepishly. "And it... that was really sweet of you to do that. Thank you."

She smiled sweetly at him; letting him know his little slip-up in his intent hadn't been poorly received. Although she still looked self-conscious. Stealing glances to the others around them and whatnot. \\\

'''Yoko''' \\\

There was a long, long silence from the kitsune after that.

Her brow had furrowed, and one could practically hear the cogs clicking through in her head. Her gaze landed on Zach, then Sam, and then Shane—slowly connecting the dots before her eyes suddenly widened–

"I get it! Unbearable! Hah!"

Or... maybe... not.

"Ah, anyway. Get a better sense of humour. You guys really all look flustered though. Zach-kun's looked like he's just swallowed a fly. You suuure nothing's going on that I'd need to know about~?"

Her tone was melodic and light, but that specific too-wide grin spoke words by itself. The message was clear. Yoko definitely wasn't an idiot. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

Crap. She knows.

Nothing at all sweetheart, I promise it's nothing bad! In fact I think you'll like it a lot! I have a feeling you'll like it a lot!

I sure hope you like it a lot.

He gave her an excited little nod, trying to look as innocent and unassuming as possible, which in the long run didn't work at all because Zach had the nuance and subtly of a bull, in a china shop, who alsohappened to be on fire.

I just wanna make it-today I mean...Special for you is all. He conceded with that, trying not to give too much away. \\\

'''Dormitories - Mahvash''' \\\

Mahvash half-pushed, half-sashayed behind a light food cart. Even if it lacked audience, it set the mood. Two nicely presented serving dishes sat atop it. The angel tendons that she had been working with earlier lay neatly placed in a box under the red and richly embroidered tablecloth. If she needed to get back to that, then she'd be discreet.

For herself, she sported a denim set. Tight clothing and bared skin aside, she started off easy for this was only the start of things.

She knocked but once to give Martin a 'warning' of about 3 seconds before entering. If she caught him with his pants down they could skip steps to the other stuff. \\\

'''Sally''' \\\

Sally checked her phone upon getting a text.

"The rooftop, okay." she sent a text back that she will be there soon. She managed to find the stairs and made it to the roof door. She took a deep breath before she opened the doors.

"Hello." She says. \\\


'''Sam''' \\\

The slimmer cryo looked ready to face palm, but restrained himself. Pulling out several chocolate boxes, he simply decided to bribe her.

"OK, Yoko" He said "Zach is nervous about today, since it's the first time he has a relationship for Valentine's, and he wants to do something good, so give us a few hours to set it up, and you can get all of this" He put the boxes in her hands. \\\

'''Ryuu''' \\\

Well, there she is He thought, as the dragon turned to see the cute cyborg. Not helping, brain

"Hey" He said, nervously "Nice day we have here. Tons of funny sights too" He winced, seeing how stupid he is looking. Pulling the box out of his pocket, he got closer.

Here goes nothing \\\

'''Sally''' \\\

"Nice to see you too."
Seeeing the box as he got closer, she saw it was natural to hand out what she brought. It was really nice of him to get to get a gift. She held out the wrapped chocolate she brought.

"Oh, I brought something as well. Here you go, I made for this for you." She held out the wrapped chocolate.

"Alright, moment of truth." \\\

'''Ryuu''' \\\

Ryuu smiled, more nervous than his usual grin, but just grasped the chocolate with one hand, and handed the present with the other.

"Great, great" He said "Didn't know what to give ya, but I saw this and thought it would go well with the hairclips, so..."

He opened the chocolate, holding his breath. \\\

'''Rebecca''' \\\

... what did girls do on a day out? Rebecca honestly wasn’t sure.
That was beside the point however, because Rebecca had spent last night planning the perfect not!date.

... and now that she was in the moment she couldn’t remember any of it. Dammit.

... she should probably say something before Ash started giving her weird looks.

“That is... a very good... question.... Come to think of it, I don’t actually know.”
Rebecca shrugged.
“But who cares what most girls do? We’re not exactly normal girls. What do you want to do?”

Saved it. \\\

'''Martin-Dorm Rooms''' \\\

Martin of course was none the wiser to the approach of his immeniate doom in the form of a surprise breakfast by his...well he wasn't all to sure what he and Mahvash were but he would at least go with 'friends who had kissed one time', which probably had a better phrase that he just had no idea of. Still when she pushed into his room Martin had just changed after his post workout shower, his hair still dripping the ocassional dropplet of water.

"Oh, Mahvash, I wasn't expecting to see you until later." he went over to his drawer and pulled out a long box covered in golden paper, offering it over to her. "I didn't know what kind of chocolates you liked, so I decided to make macaroons in a few different flavors!"

It took a minute for his brain to actually register her outfit, a blush running along his cheeks. "I um, I like the outfit. Its very...you." \\\


'''Clay-Over the Moon''' \\\

He couldn't help but chuckle at the way she devoured the strawberry, taking it as a compliment to his skills. Or at least that he hadn't been wrong to go with something that wasn't a traditional box of chocolates that people seemed to go crazy over. "You shoulda seen me when I first tried a chocolate shake in this era, I had ta be pulled out of the room after drinkin five of 'em."

Modern day food was filled with enough flavor to make it a treat, given that most of his meals had been heated up over a camp fire with some salt on it if he were lucky. The idea of food being anything but what one needed to survive was still a concept he was working with.

"There are plenty in here, so grab whatever you want," he took one and bit into it, savoring the flavor for a moment. "After all, one sweet thing deserves another." Clay gave a wink to the ever red faced girl. \\\

'''Sally''' \\\

"Thank you!" She says as she hands off the choclate and takes the little box. She was smiling very shyly. Slowly, she opened the little box. It was a pretty heart necklace. It did match the clips like he said.

"I love it! Thank you much!" She says as she puts it on. It was super nice and considerate of him. She felt so happy and couldn't stop smiling. \\\

'''Ash''' \\\

"Uh..." Ash blanched.

#$&%. I was hoping she'd suggest something.

"...Okay. Um, tell ya what. Why don't we just... like... roam the town, or something? I dunno, see what catches our eye... an' like... go from there or some s***? That sound good?"

Nailed it. \\\

'''Yoko''' \\\

Well, suffice to say the kitsune's suspicion diffused in an instant. Especially with the bribery of chocolate. She practically vibrated with excited giggles before she managed to contain herself and clear her throat.

"Gomen. I'll leave you be then. I'll be back in... ooh, an hour? Hour and a half. I'm feeling generous," she winked, the mischievous glint in her slitted eyes more apparent than ever. "No pressure~! I'll take my time! Ash's room looks so boring right now...!"

The fox had vanished into an imperceptible blur of speed and manic giggling before the last syllable of her sentence had even properly reached their ears. At the very least they got their wish.

It was just a shame that she had decided to give Zach a farewell kiss on the forehead at such speeds. Most likely he had missed her retreating form due to him suddenly finding himself faceup on the floor instead. \\\


'''Evelyn''' \\\

Or ever purple faced girl after that point. Semantics. Though regardless, she accepted another as offered and pathetically tried to hide her face behind it as she ate it; ducking her head down low and peeking up at him through a slight gap between her knotted hair.

"...Th... Thank you..."

She swallowed, and mentally slapped herself. Then again. Then again again when that didn't work. Her throat had suddenly felt clogged up, but she managed to force out a question in even the slightest hope it'd change the subject somewhat.

"...How... how's it been? Adjusting, I mean. Uh... b-because it's been pretty difficult for me and I was just wondering..."

Oh great. That helped. Made it personal now. Couldn't even read up on something before you had the displaced cowboy pining for you?

...Granted she probably wouldn't be able to tell what that something was, but rarely did rational thought rear its head when she was embarrassed. \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

His smile dipped in the same way it always did when someone asked about the past, not an outright frown but a look of solemn contemplation. "Its been a ah- shoot whatcha call it, work in progress."

So many things had changed in the time since he had left. Sure people were still bull headed and if Geae was anything to go on still scared of others that didn't match them. And if it weren't for the hero business he would have been utterly lost.

"Don't know if I can be much help, but if yah got yourself a question I'm all ears." it seemed like even a unrepentant flirt like Clay could take things seriously. Plus he was pretty sure if any more blood reached her cheeks she would die. \\\

'''Evelyn''' \\\

Well that was a relief. But of course now he'd taken it seriously Evelyn found herself completely lost as to what she wanted to ask him. Not out of a lack of questions, though—more of a confusing overabundance of feelings and emotions that she had to seriously consider before converting into words.

"...Do... do you...?"

She swallowed again. Damn it. How could she phrase this?

"...H... How do you... how do you... let go of things and... and grow up?"

Well that could've been phrased better. Still, it wasn't as if it was meant as insulting to him or anything. There was a bitter resentment lacing her tone, but from the way she diverted her gaze to the floor and furrowed her brows it seemed more self-directed than anything else. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

Being on the floor was the absolute least of his worries. He stared up at the ceiling, waiting for any sign that Yoko was still around.

When he was sure the coast was clear, he sighed. One hand went down to his stomach and slipped into it, like his hand was pushing through a puddle of water. He began to feel around slowly, a look of concentration on his face before he pulled his hand, and the ring, out from his body.

Ill be the first to admit...that could have gone better... he grinned nervously up at them. But I appreciate the looking out guys...really I do. I owe you both.

Yes, he was even thanking SHANE. Shocking, huh? \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

Through others might have Clay didn't take offense, he was suprisingly good at reading situations where people couldn't convert their feelings to words, most likely because he was rather bad at it too. "This is, more of a sitting conversation," he walked her over to one of the sitting areas, putting the candy covered strawberries on her lap and tipping his hat over his face.

"When I was young, my ma was...well she ended up passing before her time if you pick up my meaning." he didn't want to go into details, mainly because it felt like salting a wound. "I spent a long time after that pretty much devotin my entire life to revenge, or justice if you like. After I got it, well it didn't do a bit to make me feel better 'bout nothing."

Clay took off his hat and rested it on his own lap, letting out a drawn out breath. "Some point I got wise to the fact that by letting all that eat me up that I was just letting it win. I guess, to answer your question. Yah gotta just decide what matters more. Living a good life, or lettin the past dictate how things should be." he took a moment then laughed at himself. "Sorry, that probably wasn't even a mite helpful. Really no good at this advice business." \\\

'''Dorm Rooms - Mahvash''' \\\
"Heh. Of curse." Mahvash took the box and one piece before messily mashing it between her lips, leaving a chocolate drizzle on them. "And I like these kind."

She put a finger under his chin, leaning in tantalizing slowly to share said chocolate, lip to lip. "And that." She ran her fingers through his wet hair before shoving him back. "Now, I meant to give you breakfast and bed. You're not allowed to go escaping."

Mahvash took a seat on him, wrapping an arm around his neck before uncovering her own dish. She'd made a version of sushi, except using beef fillets and fish. "I rolled you some surf and turf sushi. And the normal breakfast foods, but this first. And its purified of course." She took some on a fork before giving it to him. \\\

'''Martin-Dorm Rooms''' \\\

At first Martin was just pleased that his gift ended up being something that his...well they had never really defined what they were supposed to 'be' but he assumed that for at least now calling her his valentine wouldn't be totally out of order. Then of course came them 'sharing' the chocolate and Martin's face took on the properties of a tomato.

Before he was able to respond however he found himself being pushed down on his bed and met with a rather delicious looking spread of food. It was enough that he somehow overlooked the 'no escape' clause of this encounter.

Minding his manners he took a bite off of it and quietly swallowed it down, savoring the flavor and giving a nod of approval. "This is delicious, but you really didn't have to go all out for me you know." he was the kind of person who would be over the moon to receive a card or text, this was a bit out of his range. "Just getting to spend time with you on a day like this is good enough for me," that being said he still seemed eager to eat more after his workout. \\\

'''Evelyn''' \\\

"No... it's okay..."

If nothing else, he's confirmed it... there's no point in dwelling on these things...

"I guess... I guess this is something I'll have to find out for myself."

She smiled at him.

"Thank you."

There was a brief silence, before her smile faded again into a look of uncertainty. A shaky breath, then her gaze was upon him yet again.

"S-still, though, I... do you think that..."

She blushed, before looking down at her lap.

"...c-could... could you help me...?" \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

It seemed that at least some bit of what he had rambled on about had been useful, small miracles he supposed. "Pleasure darlin'." even if they hadn't been connecting like they had been, it wasn't like he would have turned his back on her.

But then once she made her request he couldn't help but smile, putting his hat back on his head and giving it a tip in her direction. "Evelyn, nothing on heaven or earth could stop me from helping." it was rare for him to use anyones name so directly, usually falling back on nicknames or titles. Still he pulled himself up and seemed to pause for a moment, a smile creeping over his face before leaning down and kissing the top of Evelyn's head. "Don't matter what, I'm here if yah need me."

W̶͘͞H̶̸̛A̡T̵҉ ̵̸I̢͘̕N̡͜͠ ̢͘Ţ͜͟H̛́҉̵E̕͟͠ ̢̛͟E̶͟͞V̴̀͏È͏͢Ŗ̛L͘͠͞I̡͞V̕͟͝Ì̴͟N̨̛̕G͟ ̸F̴̶̢U̷͜–̸

...

...

...Did he just...?

Evelyn's eyes snapped wide open as her breath caught in her throat.

He just...!

A barely audible squeak escaped from her lips, all three of her eyes rolling into the back of her head as she rapidly turned the colour of a ripe beetroot.

And then she tipped over.

WHUMP

At least the uneaten strawberry had remained intact. \\\

'''Clay''' \\\

"Shoot, if you were that tired you shoulda just said something," he couldn't exactly leave her in this condition, so he simply took off his hat and set it on her head in such a way that no one could tell that she was out of it and sat next to her, looking at the last strawberry. "Really should save it fo-" before he could finish he had already eaten it. "Well dang, thats a right shame."

Still, there were worse things to do then spend the day next to someone you liked. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

"No worries" Sam said, nonchalantly "You may owe me some sweets, but we'll talk of that later. We have work to do" With that, he dragged Zach to prepare everything.

After all, not everyday you are involved in a marriage proposal. And he has no plans to freeze the Abyss over. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

And not much time to do it. He wrote to himself as he was dragged casually away by Sam, taking a deep sighing breath and rubbing his face slowly. Do you think I'm rushing too fast into this? D you think I should wait? Cause everything about me wants to do it now. Cause...well, immortality. All the time in the world and all that. \\\

'''Ryuu''' \\\

Ryuu smiled at the gift, opening it, and taking a bite "It's great" He said, cheerfully, before giving her a big hug. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

"I dunno, man" Sam shrugged "Never did anything like that, besides, you kinda promised forever when you only had a short time left" Looking up, he simply wondered what else to say "Well, you wanted to, so better do it while you still have some courage" \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

...Yeah! Yeah you're right! I shouldn't be worried about this this is something I've wanted! I'm just...nervous, because, well, marriage, but with you helping out I can get this done! I just... He paused in the middle of his little dramatic speech. Need to...figure out how to go about doing this, then. Maybe...maybe some kind of winter themed idea...or....Hmmm... \\\

'''Dorm Rooms - Mahvash''' \\\
Mahvash grew an impish grin that only mean good. "Didn't have to. I did. Completely worth it." She strategically blocked stretched an arm alongside him, blocking on path away and leaned forward. "And that face is an excellent reward."

"Now that you've got the time..." She took another chocolate, lightly mashing it the same way as before. "We can figure out something to do in this position. Or get an early start? We could always run out and raise your expectations..." \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

"I got what you need" Sam grinned, deciding to make something in the grass, as a ferris wheel formed behind them. As snow and ice surrounded the area and a dance floor was formed. A couple statues of Yoko and Zach, locked in a dance (or Yoko swinging him around, anyway) surrounded the area.

"How do you like that?" \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

How in the actual Genuine- he wrote in surprise, his eyes wide and almost faltering over onto his face as the area around them turned SO rapidly, SO fast, SO drastically it didn't even look like they were on school grounds, spinning in a little circle and combing a hand in his hair in silent awe.

Sam, my friend, you are AMAZING. my GOD. \\\

'''Sally''' \\\
Upon being hugged, she hugged back.

"I'm glad you like it. Happy Valentine's Day." In that moment, everything just felt right. There was a warm feeling overcoming her but, it was a feeling she welcomed. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

"No problem, it's a good exercise" Sam tried to downplay it, but he was proud of his work. Sometimes, a guy wanted to be artistic. "I'd offer to call for some take out, but there are even odds on her eating all the chocolate I gave her in one go, so..." He decided to not thing too hard about that. "Anything else?" \\\

'''Ryuu''' \\\

The dragon boy was red in the face, but just enjoyed the moment.

"Happy Valentine's, Sal" He whispered. \\\


'''Zach''' \\\

He looked around silently at the massive winter wonderland his friend had created. The gears turning in his head before he gave him a little shake of his head and a thumbs up. I think this is perfect, man, I’m gonna go tell her to come back. and walked off, texting her excitedly. \\\

'''Martin-Dorm Rooms''' \\\

"Still," he pulled closer to her as she slid her arm around him. Being close to her was easily the most terrifying and pleasant experience he could think of. She was pretty confident in basically everything she did, it was odd but in a good way.

"I'm not quite sure what you mean, but um...I don't have much experience with this sort of stuff, so just a warning ahead of time." a blush came over his face, as he was certain this kind of situation was raising the kind of flags that got flash forwarded past. Through at the same time given Mahvash she could have been talking about anything. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

"Good luck" Sam said, deciding to give some space, but staying where he could see what happens. Someone has to operate the stuff, after all. \\\

'''Dorm Rooms''' \\\

"Good man," she whispers, wrapping her arms tight er snugly around Martin as he moved in. "And experience with what, communion? Well, I'm right here."
She only wrapped her arms tighter, sealing him in and emphasizing their closeness. And her deathly chill. And lack of heartbeat or breath. And the slightest flow of something crawling where her 'skin' should be.
But then she 'breathed' into his ear. "I'll lead you right through it." \\\

'''Dorm Rooms - One Flash Forward''' \\\

"Oh, How did you want to spend the time with me then?" She said sitting on the edge of Martin's bed some time later. And asking that rather late. Even she realized it, given her impish smile.

"I'm right here for you today. And more. But especially today." She pressed her palm against her neck before facing away in mock shyness while booming as if performing an opera. "Go on and tell me thy will and what plans you have for me and my holy body." \\\

'''Zach - Aided in a Flash Forward''' \\\

Alright so, I know I was acting weird, and...well, really weird earlier but I promise, it's all gonna be worth it as soon as you turn this corner, okay? I know it's....okay I'm saying weird alot, I'm kinda nervous about what I have planned so I hope you're okay with putting up with me saying the same words over and over and over again. But it's just...it's really special, okay? For you, and...well, for what we got in the future.

He was currently leading Yoko back to their designated spot that Sam had masterfully created for such an important event, and the dawning moment was coming to fruition and reality the closer her stepped. He just hoped he could do this without passing out. Or losing the ring.

Feeling the front of his pants for the ring, he sighed softly in relief when he felt it there. \\\

'''Yoko''' \\\

"Zach. Calm down. It's okay," Yoko soothed, glancing over at him for a moment as they walked before fixing her gaze ahead again. "Relax. You know I hate it when you're stressed out..."

A slight bite of the lip at that displayed her own trepidation, but it was also mixed with a flutter of excitement. She had the vaguest inclination of what might be going on, but she was too nervous to even say for definite that it was that.

‘For what we got in the future’, huh...?

She inwardly smiled as she unconsciously placed her hand over her stomach for a brief moment, before gathering herself and resuming her focus.

...Huh. Was it her, or was it looking a little chilly? \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

Right. She was right. Of course she was right. Breathe, just breathe, in and out. This was just going to be a huge event that probably would help define the rest of his infinitely-acquired life, no pressure whatsoever.

None. Whatsoever.

His mind was currently going at about Mach 3 but you woudln't know that based on his expression alone. So, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath and tried to put his brain to a screeching halt, he looked over his shoulder at her.

I...really should be thanking Sam for almost all of this. I would no where near be as prepared if it wasn't for him. But...um...here's part one. And he gently pulled her around the corner to show the immense frozen wonderland that had been effortlessly constructed before the two of them, SPECIFICALLY for the two of them.

Sam is this goes without a hitch I will owe you until the end of time. Shit, I'll make you one of the twins' Godfather. He silently thought to himself as he looked over at her for her reaction. \\\


'''Yoko''' \\\

As one would expect, the kitsune was more than a little taken aback at the sight. Slack-jawed in awe as she overlooked the gorgeous ice sculptures surrounding them, she couldn't help but find herself caught up in their glistening surfaces—the light bouncing around in such a way that it seemed to refract into a wide array of glittering colours.

"This... this is..."

She broke out into a broad smile as she shook her head in mild disbelief of what she was seeing.

"This is beautiful."

Now, she was no stranger to Sam's sculptures. But the sentiment of it and the intricacies were truly something to behold. Seeing the pair of them represented in such a way made her her heart flutter with awe. She was perhaps about to thank him, but then his words registered in her brain.

"...‘Part one’?" she echoed curiously, tilting her head a fraction as she looked at him. So ‘part two’ would be the bit he was so worried about. Well that made more sense than ice sculptures. Lovely as they were, it was by no means anything to get this worked up about. Whatever he was dying to tell her must've been something much more important.

So she gave him a little smile, trying to ease his worries. She'd still yet to reconstruct her second hoshi-no-tama, so she couldn't do so through empathy—but she could at least try the old fashioned way. She had no doubt it'd only help so much though. He looked like he was on the verge of a fit of trembling. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

No turning back. Nothing stopping him now. The best thing to do was to ask right then and there. To get the question out and enjoy the time he had with her.

Just speak it from the bottom of your heart. A heart that he wasn’t entirely sure he still had anymore. He needed to sort out his anatomy for future references.

But this was far from the time and especially far from the place to be having that thought process.

When I first came to Saint Academy, I came here knowing exactly what I wanted to do. I came here to be a hero in the time I had before I died. And I was so sure of what I wanted, it was finalizing. Nothing swayed me from that thought. Until I met you.

He turned to face her. I wanted to live for the first time in like, forever. I wanted to be...something else, than what I was going to be, what I planned to be. Without even trying, you changed the way I thought, and you changed my plans. You made me want to be more than what I was planning.

The time I’ve spent with you, this year, has been a whirlwind I can’t even fathom thinking over. I never thought I would meet someone so...you. So kind and compassionate, funny, smart, wise and caring, let alone someone who would think me as even remotely interesting. Eiju...a while back...told me about that feeling he has, how he still feels that burning live even after being together for a millennium. And I realized I wanted that more than anything. That warmth and love every day, the kind I feel when I look at you, but forever
This is probably...really stupid in practice, cause we’re both already immortal but I figured it would be important and well meaning. If we’re going to be together forever, seeing the world and seeing wherever life takes us, there’s no one else I could ever imagine spending the rest of time with than the woman who fixed me, and made me the happiest man on the planet.

Do it, just fucking do it, stop thinking about it and do it \\\

Yoko.

He spun and was kneeling down on the ground. His ring in his hand. His face down to avoid letting her see he was probably about to pass out.

...Will you marry me? \\\

'''Yoko''' \\\

Oh.

Yoko was lost for words as she stared down at Zach's prone form, then slowly looked around as it finally hit her what the effort and preparation had been for.

It had been for her.

This entire time, he had been fretting over her.

She didn't know what to think.

So she didn't.

"You... all this..." she breathed, looking down at him and finally seeming to notice the fact he was kneeling to her with a ring outstretched. She smiled tearfully—nodding mutely and rapidly for a few moments before she finally found her voice again.

"Yes... yes of course I'll–"

She cut herself off as she lunged at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his body as she caught him in a passionate kiss. She let it linger for a solid few seconds before she drew back a little, out of breath yet clearly ecstatic.

"Why... wh-why wouldn't I...? O-of course I will!"

She couldn't help but giggle sporadically amidst her subsequent peppering of him with kisses. She still couldn't quite fathom it. A kitsune marriage was usually a quiet and intimate proceeding, but rarely was it as big or extravagant as a traditional marriage. Unless other yōkai bore witness to it, of course. In which case it became a truly bombastic and celebratory event.

But the thoughts of all the people she knew—both fellow yōkai and of Class 1—the very possible imaginings of them all being there to witness it; it brought tears to her eyes.

Yoko had already expressed her desire to spend the rest of her unending life with the one she loved so dearly.

But to hear him say it right back to her and immortalize it with this humble gesture, well that was something different entirely.

"...I don't think I could say ‘yes’ any more if I tried..." she mumbled. \\\

'''Sam''' \\\

Sam decided to keep his distance, even if he could move the things around, he wouldn't be able to know how things ended until they tell him.

Putting on some music, he sat back and waited.

He still had to clean up, after all. \\\

'''Zach''' \\\

All of the stress, all of the deep, inner doubts he had, the fears he had about her saying no, washed away with only lingering thoughts of how he ever thought she would say no. He gave a loud sigh (or as loud as mute like him could reach), her happy exclamations only invigorating his own excitement, his arms wrapping around hers and fighting back the stupidest smile he could ever muster.

Holding up the ring for her to see it, one of the tendrils quickly wrapped around around it and carefully, gently, placed it at her ring finger. He finally pressed for one final, deep kiss and pulled away, resting his forehead on hers and looking up into her eyes, smiling and simply mouthing off a simple "I love you".

He couldn't even properly describe how happy he was. His arms tightened around her a bit more and just enjoyed the closeness the two of them shared, and would share for the unforeseeable future.

And then the music started, and so unexpected he almost snickered.

Thanks buddy. Just the icing on the cake. He thought to himself, grinning internally. Nothing could ruin this moment.[[/quoteblock]][[/folder]]


[[folder: Cendrillon's Daily Routine]]
[[quoteblock]]I woke up at around 8:30 as usual, albeit not at a time I would have preferred. At that moment I was under the impression it was my day off. Which is a rare thing, see. I usually take advantage of any breaks I can get. I'm not always so active. I like to sit down with a hot coffee and a book like anyone else. Watch a movie I missed, or so forth. Care for my birds. Whatever's my inclination. Nonetheless, I got out of bed and prepared for a more lazy day. I wasn't expecting the call. \\\

It was around 10:35 that the landline rang. Most of my assignments are at night, but there's usually a lot of prep to them. That and they're also out of state. Timezones need to be taken into consideration. I wasn't too disappointed—it wasn't as if I was planning anything much anyhow—so I got myself ready, took out the trash, and went up onto the roof. I also threw one of the budgies away. It died in the night. \\\

The helicopter arrived at 10:55. Schedules are usually tight in this line of work. I don't care. They usually run shows on the way anyway. Personal request of mine. They didn't seem to have much objection. They think they're manipulating me. It's cute. \\\

I think a newbie was aboard. Tried to make small talk. I ignored him up until he started calling me deaf and raised his voice. He didn't even move when I opened the chopper doors. I think he was too focused on his own shouting. He certainly shouted on the way down. \\\

The ride was a lot more quiet after then, so I took the opportunity to read for a while. It was also getting blustery, so I shut the door again. \\\

I must have fallen asleep, since one of the men woke me up. He said we'd arrived and were ready to drop. I asked him if he was coming with me. He said that ‘it wasn't that type of mission’. \\\

Strange. \\\

They didn't offer me a parachute. They never do. I can take the impact fine. It's never silent, though. I realised later that they were most likely purposefully sabotaging me. I think they're afraid of me. \\\

Unfortunate. \\\

As I landed, I caught attention immediately by a patrol guard. He screamed and let out a spray. I shot him six times. He had an assault rifle. Old model. Everything was old model. Must've been a guerilla camp. A particularly out of touch guerilla camp. It was disappointing. This was grunt work. Still, I continued. \\\

24 men in all crossed my path. I stabbed one. I shredded six others. I shot... once, I think. I was trying to make things somewhat difficult for myself, so I decided to neglect usage of my gun. Still they were easy to take care of. But it was about that time when the armoured fellows arrived. They had modern weapons, and there were about 50 of them. \\\

Still... same process. I had a bit of fun with a couple of them at least. Gored one with the other. So not much to note except for that and the last one standing. He shot himself. \\\

I stripped him of what I could carry, then dumped him with the rest. He was the lucky one. Mostly intact. I congratulated him as I left for lasting that long without him catching my eye. \\\

It was then through my subdermal implants that they reassigned me. Said I was to destroy the whole premises. I confirmed, then got to work. The supports of the structures were lacking—only a punch or a kick or two to each and they shattered. Most definitely a resistance group. \\\

After I did so and had tidied up the mess, the helicopter came back. It lowered the rope, and I climbed up. They looked a little perturbed at my stack, so I sang a song for them. I don't think they liked it. Rude. \\\

Well, that was all. They dropped me back home at around 4:15 AM. I was very tired, so I didn't change. I cleaned the sheets after I woke up. I bought a lot of spares for this reason alone. My work isn't clean usually. \\\

My pay came in later that morning. A drone dropped it off. As I came back in, the other budgie was making a lot of noise, so I shot it and threw it away. I got two replacements later that day. I made sure they were quiet ones this time. \\\

I find it strange. Some of those I cross paths with on these missions call me beautiful when they see me. Then call me monstrous when they get to know me. There's a lack of consistency. They turn on you like devils. I think they pity me. Or don't understand what I do. Then have the audacity to complain when I answer. Claim I've been tricking them, but I've done nothing wrong. I am who I present myself to be. It is their fault for assuming what they see is who I am. \\\

I am no one. I don't bother myself with this useless minutia about honour and morals everybody is blabbering on about all the time. Why should I? If my no dissolves hassle regardless of whether it's true, why say yes? It amuses me greatly when they say I'm crazy when they listen to imaginary voices in their heads saying ‘you shouldn't do this’ or ‘this is wrong’ or ‘this is right’. I'm like all of you, really. I just don't care. \\\

Call me inhumane if you like. You're probably not wrong. I don't know. And I still don't care. All I know is that I get what I want when I'm like this. Call me a machine without a cause, a body without a soul—etcetera, etcetera. Blah blah blah. I've heard it all. It's up to you. \\\

You can't even fix me, so don't dare try. I'll break you down and ask why you have the right if you do. Just for wasting my time. I'm perfectly fine the way I am. I'm happy. Content with myself. \\\

And really, isn't that what anyone should be?[[/quoteblock]][[/folder]]

Thanks buddy. Just the icing on the cake. He thought to himself, grinning internally. Nothing could ruin this moment.[[/quoteblock]][[/folder]]

[[quoteblock]]''Well, the time has arrived. Love is in the air, and it was time to be romantic, to show some romance, or to gag and laugh to the people with couples. Even the people in Saint Academy knew that, and were getting ready for their day, however it was supposed to go.''

Sally was under the stairs, holding the handmade chocolate. It was about decent sized and had a cute design. Earlier today, she had handed out small chocolates to everyone in the class. However, this chocolate was more special though. Getting up, she starting wondering around the halls, holding the wrapped chocolate close.

I just wanna make it-today I mean...Special for you is all. He conceded with that, trying not to give too much away.

He looked around silently at the massive winter wonderland his friend had created. The gears turning in his head before he gave him a little shake of his head and a thumbs up. I think this is perfect, man, I’m gonna go tell her to come back. and walked off, texting her excitedly.

But then she 'breathed' into his ear. "I'll lead you right through it."

"I'm right here for you today. And more. But especially today." She pressed her palm against her neck before facing away in mock shyness while booming as if performing an opera. "Go on and tell me thy will and what plans you have for me and my holy body."

'''Sam'''

'''Zach'''

[[folder: Omake 2 - Valentine's Day]]

Clay

"Have to fight 'em off with a stick swear to high heavens," Clay shivered at the memory of some of the 'fans' Class-1 had gained outside of school, which made just walking around in public a hassel to be sure. But it was worth it for what he now had in his bag, the sure fire Valentine gift for one specific gal in the school. Now he just had to figure out where she would be holed up at this time of day and make the delivery with his usual suave nature. Or well, rough southern charm was about as close as he got to suave but it would have to do.

Zach

So maybe...MAYBE...Valentines day was the perfect time to have that question dropped. He had the rest of his life to do it, so why waste all that time if he knew it was something he wanted?

Evelyn

She decided it was best to start walking.

Sam

"Need some help with your day, man?" He asked.

Zach

I think I want to propose to Yoko today. He "whisper wrote" to him, looking over his shoulder.


Sam

"Congratulations" He whispered "Want to ask her in a special way? I mean, she'll probably accept if you just wave the ring in front of her, but still, this is the big one"

Zach

He took a deep, quiet breath and nodded his head firmly. So yes, I wanna ask her in a Special Way.

Finn

It was Valentine's day and well Finn was amongst the legions of those who are single. Instead just sitting in his room all day lamenting, he decided there was something positive that could be done. With permission, he was allowed to turn one room into an area where singles could hang out. He had a entertainment and food set out. Finally, he taped a sign, informing this was the singles room for hanging out.

Shane

"Hey guys, I can guess what Zach's doing for Valentines Day...well, more to the point who he's doing, but Sammy...do you got a cutie-patootie yet?" Shane paused for a second and then admitted, "Me, I've got a few girls I am gonna be visiting today. Bethany wants to meet up in an hour and a half, Suzanne wants to skinny dip in a few hours after that..."

Sam

"As much as I'd like to, Zach here has his big plans, and he's gonna need help at setting it up. Gotta look out for a bro, after all" He said.

Zach

And Sam sticking by him was always a good start. He offered a smile and a thankful nod of his head, turning to Shane and offering a little smile. You...sound like you have a busy day today. I do hope you find time for all those ladies, at the least. Lord knows someone like you can do it easily though.

Sally

Ryuu

Now, he just has to find her.

Yoko

So getting my ass whupped for this...

Rebecca - Dorms

"Hey, Ash, you awake? " came Rebecca's voice, "I was thinking, seeing as it's Valentine's and we're both single (I hope)" this last part was muttered under her breath, "maybe we could go out on the town together. You know, have a girls' day or something."

Zach

Hello dear, sweetheart, love of my life, we were absolutely doing nothing wrong or suspect RIGHT GUYS? He asked, with heavy emphasis and a pleading look to both Sam and Shane to keep their mouths shut about the whole thing.

Sam

"Eh, he wanted to make sure he won't botch things up and needed reassurance"

Ash

"...what exactly do girls do on a... on a day out thingy?"

Clay

He decided that slow and steady would be better, not trying to mask his moments and giving her a "Hey there darling," long before he was inside of her personal space. That was simple stuff, anyone who had met the girl would be able to figure that out. Step two was a bit trickier, as she would no doubt feel uncomfortable with a gift even on a day like this. "So I was fixing up some grub yesterday and decided to try my hand at something new. Seems I went and made too many, and seeing as how its some special holiday I thought we could share them," he brought his eyes down so she could look through him and opened the box, revealing a number of chocolate and vanilla covered strawberries. It looked like he had tried to do some designs, but it hadn't quite shook out.

Sally

"Whoops, where am I?"

Evelyn

So it wasn't as if she had a great understanding of the more intricate processes.

Clay

"So what you say," he lifted one of the candy covered berries up for her. "I didn't get much chance to try them yet, car to take the first test?"

Shane

He tried to salvage this by telling the supposed joke. "What did the bear say when his friends kept arguing? Your arguing is becoming unbearable!"

Ryuu

Once arriving there, he sent a text letting her know he was there. Sitting down, he simply wondered what he should say.

Evelyn

She smiled sweetly at him; letting him know his little slip-up in his intent hadn't been poorly received. Although she still looked self-conscious. Stealing glances to the others around them and whatnot.

Yoko

Her tone was melodic and light, but that specific too-wide grin spoke words by itself. The message was clear. Yoko definitely wasn't an idiot.

Zach

Dormitories

She knocked but once to give Martin a 'warning' of about 3 seconds before entering. If she caught him with his pants down they could skip steps to the other stuff.

Sally

"Hello." She says.


Sam

"OK, Yoko" He said "Zach is nervous about today, since it's the first time he has a relationship for Valentine's, and he wants to do something good, so give us a few hours to set it up, and you can get all of this" He put the boxes in her hands.

Ryuu

Here goes nothing

Sally

"Alright, moment of truth."

Ryuu

He opened the chocolate, holding his breath.

Rebecca

Saved it.

Martin-Dorm Rooms

It took a minute for his brain to actually register her outfit, a blush running along his cheeks. "I um, I like the outfit. Its very...you."

Clay-Over the Moon

"There are plenty in here, so grab whatever you want," he took one and bit into it, savoring the flavor for a moment. "After all, one sweet thing deserves another." Clay gave a wink to the ever red faced girl.

Sally

"I love it! Thank you much!" She says as she puts it on. It was super nice and considerate of him. She felt so happy and couldn't stop smiling.

Ash

Nailed it.

Yoko

It was just a shame that she had decided to give Zach a farewell kiss on the forehead at such speeds. Most likely he had missed her retreating form due to him suddenly finding himself faceup on the floor instead.


Evelyn

...Granted she probably wouldn't be able to tell what that something was, but rarely did rational thought rear its head when she was embarrassed.

Clay

"Don't know if I can be much help, but if yah got yourself a question I'm all ears." it seemed like even a unrepentant flirt like Clay could take things seriously. Plus he was pretty sure if any more blood reached her cheeks she would die.

Evelyn

Well that could've been phrased better. Still, it wasn't as if it was meant as insulting to him or anything. There was a bitter resentment lacing her tone, but from the way she diverted her gaze to the floor and furrowed her brows it seemed more self-directed than anything else.

Zach

Yes, he was even thanking SHANE. Shocking, huh?

Clay

Clay took off his hat and rested it on his own lap, letting out a drawn out breath. "Some point I got wise to the fact that by letting all that eat me up that I was just letting it win. I guess, to answer your question. Yah gotta just decide what matters more. Living a good life, or lettin the past dictate how things should be." he took a moment then laughed at himself. "Sorry, that probably wasn't even a mite helpful. Really no good at this advice business."

Dorm Rooms

Mahvash took a seat on him, wrapping an arm around his neck before uncovering her own dish. She'd made a version of sushi, except using beef fillets and fish. "I rolled you some surf and turf sushi. And the normal breakfast foods, but this first. And its purified of course." She took some on a fork before giving it to him.

Martin-Dorm Rooms

Minding his manners he took a bite off of it and quietly swallowed it down, savoring the flavor and giving a nod of approval. "This is delicious, but you really didn't have to go all out for me you know." he was the kind of person who would be over the moon to receive a card or text, this was a bit out of his range. "Just getting to spend time with you on a day like this is good enough for me," that being said he still seemed eager to eat more after his workout.

Evelyn

"...c-could... could you help me...?"

Clay

At least the uneaten strawberry had remained intact.

Clay

Still, there were worse things to do then spend the day next to someone you liked.

Sam

After all, not everyday you are involved in a marriage proposal. And he has no plans to freeze the Abyss over.

Zach

And not much time to do it. He wrote to himself as he was dragged casually away by Sam, taking a deep sighing breath and rubbing his face slowly. Do you think I'm rushing too fast into this? D you think I should wait? Cause everything about me wants to do it now. Cause...well, immortality. All the time in the world and all that.

Ryuu

Ryuu smiled at the gift, opening it, and taking a bite "It's great" He said, cheerfully, before giving her a big hug.

Sam

"I dunno, man" Sam shrugged "Never did anything like that, besides, you kinda promised forever when you only had a short time left" Looking up, he simply wondered what else to say "Well, you wanted to, so better do it while you still have some courage"

Zach

...Yeah! Yeah you're right! I shouldn't be worried about this this is something I've wanted! I'm just...nervous, because, well, marriage, but with you helping out I can get this done! I just... He paused in the middle of his little dramatic speech. Need to...figure out how to go about doing this, then. Maybe...maybe some kind of winter themed idea...or....Hmmm...

Dorm Rooms

"Now that you've got the time..." She took another chocolate, lightly mashing it the same way as before. "We can figure out something to do in this position. Or get an early start? We could always run out and raise your expectations..."

Sam

"How do you like that?"

Zach

Sam, my friend, you are AMAZING. my GOD.

Sally

"I'm glad you like it. Happy Valentine's Day." In that moment, everything just felt right. There was a warm feeling overcoming her but, it was a feeling she welcomed.

Sam

"No problem, it's a good exercise" Sam tried to downplay it, but he was proud of his work. Sometimes, a guy wanted to be artistic. "I'd offer to call for some take out, but there are even odds on her eating all the chocolate I gave her in one go, so..." He decided to not thing too hard about that. "Anything else?"

Ryuu

"Happy Valentine's, Sal" He whispered.


Zach

Martin-Dorm Rooms

"I'm not quite sure what you mean, but um...I don't have much experience with this sort of stuff, so just a warning ahead of time." a blush came over his face, as he was certain this kind of situation was raising the kind of flags that got flash forwarded past. Through at the same time given Mahvash she could have been talking about anything.

Sam

"Good luck" Sam said, deciding to give some space, but staying where he could see what happens. Someone has to operate the stuff, after all.

Dorm Rooms

Dorm Rooms - One Flash Forward

Zach - Aided in a Flash Forward

Feeling the front of his pants for the ring, he sighed softly in relief when he felt it there.

Yoko

...Huh. Was it her, or was it looking a little chilly?

Zach

Sam is this goes without a hitch I will owe you until the end of time. Shit, I'll make you one of the twins' Godfather. He silently thought to himself as he looked over at her for her reaction.


Yoko

So she gave him a little smile, trying to ease his worries. She'd still yet to reconstruct her second hoshi-no-tama, so she couldn't do so through empathy—but she could at least try the old fashioned way. She had no doubt it'd only help so much though. He looked like he was on the verge of a fit of trembling.

Zach

Do it, just fucking do it, stop thinking about it and do it

...Will you marry me?

Yoko

"...I don't think I could say ‘yes’ any more if I tried..." she mumbled.

Sam

He still had to clean up, after all.

Zach
