"I know this may sound silly to you. . .it does to brother but I think it's something linked with my empathy. An Empath can feel what another feels. For me other people's feelings seem sort of like tendrils and my ability reaches out and touches them letting me feel each tendril. Well when this 'touch' happens lately I get something sort of like a hot and cold reading with it. Hot is like bad and cold is like good. It's very similar to temperature too because good people can become bad just like cold weather can turn hot. You don't feel bad," he was a little frustrated because he had never been good at describing is ability. It didn't help that this hot/cold thing was pretty new either.
"My brother thinks it's silly because I didn't have it before. . .not till recently anyway," he said a little defeated at the thought of Xanic not believing him. |
“I see….but not the most unbelievable thing I’ve ever heard…or done…so silly No….” she stated with a soft sigh, raising a hand. She looked at her glittery blue nails, the natural color of them from her powers it seemed. She had a feeling that he might understand her belief if he knew of her gift…but even here she felt uncertain after such persecution. Finally she nodded to herself, she wordlessly raised her hand. She murmured a soft levitation spell, setting down her tea so she could do the necessary hand gestures that were the source of her power. She held her hands first at knee level, then slowly raised them upward, causing Oni to lift a few feet in the air. She held him there gently, her eyes never leaving contact because if she did she might drop him. |
Oni gave a relieved smile at her words and said ,"Really? I'm glad." It meant a lot coming from Rain. Oni wondered why Rain was staring at him now. He noticed her lift her hands and suddenly he was in the air. His eyes went wide in surprise and then he touched his bum and giggled, "Rain this is so cool!" He waved his hands under the space between his bum and the floor. "Can Rain make people float?" he asked in amazement. "Everybody here can do such neat stuff," he exclaimed and laughed again. Then he tried to stand in mid air.
|
She took a moment to answer, still focusing on the spell a moment longer as she feared dropping him. She then shrugged, not moving her hands since if she did he’d be moved. Watching as he stood she focused harder before she finally said softly, “I….I am what some people call a witch…I can do a lot of things….” She said softly, trailing off. She winced even as she said the word witch, however and recalled the feeling of the burning poker… She slowly sat him down, letting her hands drop slowly so he’d be sat gently on his feet. She then folded her hands in her lap, glancing to the side a moment in thought. “Most people don’t seem to think it’s cool…” she stated trailing off. |
As Rain set him back on the ground Oni was smiling from ear to ear and said, "Rain has an amazing ability. A witch?" He took a moment to think about this and then you could see the literal light bulb go on as he said, "Oh I know! You're like the Good Witch from the North who helps the girl and her dog! Brother got annoyed when I watched that movie but it was fun!" He walked over to Rain and sat next to her, a big bundle of excitement and kept rambling, "So you can do all kinds of other stuff too! You're so lucky. All I can do is my empathy and it isn't cool like lifting things or flying. Lukas can fly! Don't worry. Most people think Xanic and I are crazy or weird or . . .what was the word. . po. . .po. .. AH! Possessed, but I can't remember what that means. What other stuff can you do? Oh oh oh can you make me really tall or invisible?!"
|
As Oni babbled on she almost seemed annoyed, wondering if she should have revealed her ability after all. She hated questions, simply because she could answer so few. She glanced at Ebony a moment, looking at the feline with a ’this is your fault…’ look. Why she blamed the cat only she and eb knew but, she did. “Depends on what I can write a spell for….” She finally answered, leaning back and looking at him a moment. She just didn’t know what to do with all his energy and excitement…she never thought she’d say this but she half wished that Xanic would decide to take over out of the blue. “My hands are the only visible part but it’s a little more complicated then that….” She shrugged gently, running a hand through her hair. (hehe you almost fried Rains brain XD)) |
Without trying Oni felt a touch of Rain's annoyance and tried to calm himself down. Xanic was always telling him that he was too hyper. He huggled Ebony a little. Once he though about being calm he carefully listened to her. " I don't really get it, but maybe it's because it isn't my power. I still think it's really neat though," he said in a less overly excited voice.
Xanic slipped out and said to her, "You're doing well with him but do understand he hasn't gotten to experiance many things so it's easy for him to get excited. Though he is right, neat trick." He gave her a little smirk and pet the cat. ((Behold Oni's true power- the ability to kill people with inane babble! Just think Xanic has to be with him 24/7, might explain his temper.)) |
“I barely get it so doesn’t surprise me” she responded to Oni, trying to smile a little as she realized her annoyance had shown. She had not meant for it too but she was not use to such over excited speech. She was use to the company of her cat…and that’s it… As Xanic came out for once Rain felt relief to see him and let out a breath a moment as she took a sip of tea. She listed to him a moment and shrugged, “I don’t have a lot of patience with people so it surprises me I am….. And I have more conversations with Eb then people…” She shrugged slightly, glancing towards him a moment as he spoke. She let out a slight humph at the neat trick response though, smiling darkly “That’s one way to put it anyway…” |
"Yeah it's pretty easy to tell your more skilled at talking to things that don't talk back," he said blandly. He noticed the dark smile and said,"Oh I'm sure I would be impressed with what you can do." He got up dumping the cat, went into the kitchen and grabbed a box of candy. Once back he lounged on a sofa and started on emptying the box. He looked at her, "So what's with the weird hair?"
|
Just like you” she stated with a smile to his first statement, giving him a smile. She then reached forward and picked up her cat as he dumped it, simply shrugging at the being impressed statement. Honestly she didn’t know or care, calling what she did tricks had simply reminded her of something. As he asked of her hair she sighed, and looked down onto the cat in her lap. She scratched just behind it’s wings gently, something which caused it to nearly collapse with pleasure and purr. “I honestly don’t know…What’s with your purple hair?” she asked, returning the question. She had always wondered about that… Her white hair with blue streaks was clearly not natural…but why it was that color she could only guess. It was just that way when she woke up and grew out that color so her body thought it was natural… |
He shrugged, "People suck, why talk to them." He knew he had terrible people skills but it really never bothered him. He chewed on another piece of candy. At least this place was loaded with sugar. Actually, some rare bloody red meat sounded good too. Hmm, he would have to raid the fridge later on.
He grabbed a strand of their purple hair and shrugged again, "Dunno, guess my parents liked the color." He said the word parents with a dark yet sad tone. "Besides I look hot in this color," he said and winked at her. |
“Mmm I’ve seen worse… but I’ve seen better” Was her sassy reply to his comment and wink, her own lips twitching into a smile. Just because her rape had made her not able to feel safe being touched by men didn’t mean she could be amused by them. She had to admit, she had to admire his directness. Usually she was the only one who would say that kind of thing… Rain mused a moment on this then took a deep sip, studying him a moment. “So what’s your power? Is it the same as your brother?” she asked out of curiosity. Honestly she doubted it, he just didn’t seem like he was the kind to care about other’s emotions…let alone feel them. |
He laughed and retorted back, "Me too toots. Besides you just haven't got to see me in action yet." He winked right back at her with a sly smile. He popped another candy in his mouth.
"Same as Oni, get real. If I could feel what everyone felt I would probably go around killing everyone just to shut their feelings up," he said directly. He sat up ran his hand through his hair saying, "Since we are all being so show-n-tell like lets have another demonstration." He pulled out a small blade and set his hand on the table. He swung the knife down just as Oni jumped out to yell, "No brother don't!" The timing had been a tad too slow and Oni sat there with his hand securely stuck to the table by the knife. He began to cry saying, "Brother, you shouldn't hurt yourself." Xanic pushed his way back out shouting at Oni, "What the hell did you do that for?! Stay in when I'm doing this kind of thing damn it!" Oni came out again and whimpered, "I don't like it when you hurt yourself on purpose. It hurts brother." Xanic pushed Oni back in and then pulled the knife out as he spoke the wound began to heal, "Of course it hurts you moron. You can't heal remember!" He swore and put the knife away. He took a deep breath and said in a flat tone, "Oni I suggest you stay in for right now." Oni did not reply and stayed put. Xanic looked back at Rain, threw up his hand while he fell back onto the sofa saying, "So ya there it is. Super fun." |
She simply rolled her eyes as he commented, not seeming to be particularly interested in how hot he thought she was. Rain did have confidence…and that was something everyone learned fairly quickly. See him in action? Her eyebrow raised, she doubted it. The last man who tried to touch her somehow ended up with a broken hand…..She warned once, if that, then your ass was hers. She shook her head with pity as Oni pushed out, glancing at his hand. She thought of her scars on her back, arms and legs. Regeneration would have been nice…very nice. Oh well, the scars reminded her what mistakes not to make. “Heh yes…seems healing would be fun, long as no one interrupts.” She stated with a soft wink, grinning softly. |
"Yeah," he said half heartedly. Xanic was mad, at himself and at Oni. Though his anger flowed more toward himself at the moment. He knew Oni hated it when he did that. Plus it wasn't just his body, but why did it bother Oni so much anyway. It wasn't like he really got hurt. He gave up, he was too upset to try and attempt conversation.
He stood up, put his headphones and said as he walked away,"Later." He went outside to walk in the woods and drown out his thoughts with some loud music. ((sorry, gonna hit the sack)) |
((Night night XD))
Rain shrugged, looking to her kitten. “Just us once again” She said with a smile to Ebony, putting up her feet on the chair arm and relaxing against the back of the chair. She took a few sips of tea, hoping she wouldn’t dream tonight. She didn’t often have the best dreams when she went to sleep after thinking about what she had. Ebony mean while hopped on her head and looked at her then tumbled into her lap like it was trying to amuse her. Rain laughed and scratched her ears “My kitten…” she murmured lovingly though she quickly fell asleep in the chair. |
Arina started to brush her own hair. She brushed it out pulling part up and pinning it back with a lacey black and burgandy ribbon hairpiece. She put the brush on her nightstand and hels onto the bed post as she stood. Her stomach started to growl and she blushed. "Seems I'm hungry..."she mumbled and leaning on the wall began to make her way down the stairs.

Curalei Kaiser wrapped her big leather trenchcoat more tightly around her lean form, cinching the belt around her waist to hold it. Wind whipped through her long, shining blue-black curls that glinted bluer in the sunlight as she wandered up the path to a castley inn. It looked welcoming and warm, perhaps she'd find some friends there. Floating on the wind with her long, fuzzy wings, was Orpheus, her mutant cat. As they reached the doors, Orpheus landed on Curalei's shoulder and the young woman entered, her fashionable leather boots (with a three-inch, near stilleto heel) clicked quietly with her light footsteps as she walked up to the bar, gazing around the rest of the inn.
'What a comfortable place..' she thought to herself, blinking her large, slightly almond shaped deep blue eyes. A soft smile spread across her full lips, the warm light making her snowy white skin a much warmer creamy colour. Sitting down, at the bar, her eyes shifted from one person to the other around the room, and then to the bartender. |
[technically there is no bar tender xD and the owner has only just made it down the stairs.]]
Arina saw the new female enter and make her way to the bar. She blushed and tried to hurry up over to the bar. "Sorry dearest, Uhm, can I get you anything to drink, oh and welcome to Ein Kuß der Schatten Inn, I'm Arina..." She greeted and Introduced. Already a new face, and still a few to meet. She felt so far behind, she wonder how obvious it was that she had to lean on the counter to keep her balance. |
( oh, okay, hehe))
Curalei turned her luminous, but dark eyes on the new face as she descended the stairs and approached. Speaking slightly hesitantly, Curalei murmured, "Hello, and thank you. My name is Curalei, and this is Orpheus." She nodded to indicate Orpheus, now curled up on the stool beside hers. After a moment of thought, Alina pulled out a small ball of glass and moulded it slowly into a crystal clear wine glass. Setting it on the table with a few pieces of silver from a pouch at her waist, she asked politely, "I'd like a glass of your finest red wine, please." |
Arina gave a nod. "I'll be right back with a bottle." She said "I have to go get one from the kitchen, haha." She responded and moved carefully into the kitchen, her legs were becoming steadier and she was less wobbly than before. She smiled and grabbed a bottle of wine and moved back to the counter. "Alright, here we are," She said corking the wine and pouring some into the glass. "This would be our best stuff." She added when she finished pouring it.
[[sorry had to go lay down for a bit]] |
Lukas woke up on the kitchen floor. The last thing he remembered was making waffles with Oni. "Ugh, what the hell..." He grumbled pulling himself up. He started walking to the main room when..he heard her. "No way.." He said before running in and hugging his sister "I.. I thought you were dead." He cried holding onto her.
|
Arina blushed a bit. "Calm down Lukas, I'm alright now... ok? so can you just leave it at that?" She whined. She didn't like her brother acting all concerned, it just freaked her out. "Sides, we have company." She said nodding towards the girl sitting at the bar.
Sylvia flew in through a window in her small size, she had been sleeping in a flower and was now slightly covered in a thin layer of yellow pollen. She sneezed and fluttered to the floor, going back to her human size. "Well, that was not quite as rewarding as i'd hoped it would be." she mumbled and saw Arina "Yay, stone lady is back to not being a stone lady." She cheered and sat at the bar. "Lukas can I hae some honeysuckle tea please?" she flashed a smile showing her pearly teeth. |
Lukas nodded. "Alllright, fine, but don't do that again." He said letting go of his sister and turning towards the fairy. "Sure thing." He went and got a teapot and started to brew her tea. "What is it with you and this tea anyhow?" He asked pouring her a cup and passing the honey to her with a spoon.

Rain shivered in her sleep, her magic weaving through her and her nightmare. It made her scars feel like they were being freshly burned again, and she let out a scream as she pushed herself awake…promptly falling out of the chair she’d fallen asleep in last night. Her kitten who had been asleep on her lap rolled on the ground slightly, yawning and looking over her with a ‘hey’ look but then it’s eyes grew sad as it heard the scream then gasping breath of Rain who was currently tangled in her braided hair. With a sigh she gasped in breath, knowing that being she’d fallen in a chair downstairs she was bound to be heard. She reached up a hand, casting a quick spell so her hair would flair out and untangle her though it also undid the fairy’s beautiful braids. “I need coffee….” She spat in an annoyed voice, standing slowly as her skin still burned for a moment longer. |
