[The Olog-Hai]

At all these sudden occurrences, Tikhomir is confused.
These people seem to come out of nowhere... And are those cat ears on that girl's head?
Sighing, but still responding to the last question that was asked of him, he says "Well, I didn't really move from anywhere. I was kinda on the run, when a recruiter found me, after a bully at my school got a particularly bad case of frostbite... Please don't ask."

[Unified Free Lands]

Akuma closed her eyes, not sure if that was a question she wanted to answer. "Urara," she answered quietly. "It's been a long time since anyone's called me that..."

Miia was quiet for a bit, before smiling slightly. "Urara." She repeated. "I like that name.. And I'm happy you decided to share it with me.. It makes me feel special, and happy."

"Thanks," said Akuma, grinning. "Like I said, it's been awhile since I've been called that, even my own parents were scared of me and called me Akuma."

[Scamvidia]

Miia was quiet for a bit, before smiling slightly. "Urara." She repeated. "I like that name.. And I'm happy you decided to share it with me.. It makes me feel special, and happy."

"Thanks," said Akuma, grinning. "Like I said, it's been awhile since I've been called that, even my own parents were scared of me and called me Akuma."

"Well I'm not scared of you." Miia leaned against Akuma. "You just seem a little intimidating at first, but under all of that you are super innocent and adorable." She said teasingly. "And you get flustered easily."

[Unified Free Lands]

"Thanks," said Akuma, grinning. "Like I said, it's been awhile since I've been called that, even my own parents were scared of me and called me Akuma."

"Well I'm not scared of you." Miia leaned against Akuma. "You just seem a little intimidating at first, but under all of that you are super innocent and adorable." She said teasingly. "And you get flustered easily."

"You're right about that, I get flustered a little too easily," chuckled Akuma, getting the seat wet. "I really have to learn to control that, it's gonna look bad to anyone who doesn't know I have abilities..."

[Castle Crashers]

Ellie was silent as the girl hugged her, shocked and relieved at the same time. She went slack in the girls arms, letting Maria just hold her, comfort her. She wrapped her own petite arms around the girl, pulling her just a little closer to herself. She didn't know how long she'd waited for those three words until she'd heard them. "It's okay." She said weakly. "It's okay." Hearing Alexander, she didn't really respond for a moment, before she finally said "no."

"Please... Forgive me..." Maria blubbered, almost crying when the girl held her back. I'd almost killed her once... And then I... I... Her eyes glazed for a moment, and she tried to compose herself. But it was to no avail, and she continued to hold onto Ellie, almost completely ignoring the outside world. She didn't want her angry. She wanted them to be good friends...

It never had to be this way if it weren't for that time...

Now, Ellie was the one to comfort Maria. She held the girl tightly to herself as she broke down, hoping that maybe she could comfort her previous enemy. It felt good in a way, to have someone apologize to her. No one'd apologized to her before, and it honestly was delightful. It made her...happy. A smile touched the blue-eyed girls lips, and her face glowed. Not literally, of course, but you get the point. "I forgive you...Really...I really do..." She said quietly, rubbing the girls back. "Don't feel sorry...it wasn't your fault..." She simply held the girl with glasses for a moment, feeling her own heart heal up those old wounds. That was it, unless the girl herself reopened them. They were sealed until the people who made them originally brought them up again. She looked over at Alexander, the warm smile present on her adorable features. "Don't worry about it. Everything's fine." She said rather quietly, yet happily.

"Well I'm not scared of you." Miia leaned against Akuma. "You just seem a little intimidating at first, but under all of that you are super innocent and adorable." She said teasingly. "And you get flustered easily."

"You're right about that, I get flustered a little too easily," chuckled Akuma, getting the seat wet. "I really have to learn to control that, it's gonna look bad to anyone who doesn't know I have abilities..."

"They might think something quite bad if they see something like that.." She laughed, pointing at the seat. "Especially if they see we are dating and whatnot.. But I think you do a better time in public than I do."

[Unified Free Lands]

"You're right about that, I get flustered a little too easily," chuckled Akuma, getting the seat wet. "I really have to learn to control that, it's gonna look bad to anyone who doesn't know I have abilities..."

"They might think something quite bad if they see something like that.." She laughed, pointing at the seat. "Especially if they see we are dating and whatnot.. But I think you do a better time in public than I do."

Akuma laughed as they arrived at the bar, and she stepped out of the taxi. "Who cares what they think?" she said, grasping Miia's hand and grinning.

Akuma laughed as they arrived at the bar, and she stepped out of the taxi. "Who cares what they think?" she said, grasping Miia's hand and grinning.

"I certainly don't.." With that she leaned in and kissed Akuma on the cheek, but quickly pulled back, blushing as they entered the bar. "Sorry.."

Wobbily smiling, Maria's cat ears softened, and she could finally relax now. It was over, her past sins were made up with the girl. "Thank you..." she whispered happily, and on whim, she kissed the girl's cheek. Giggling, Maria said, "Don't worry, I do that a lot...~" She then let go of Ellie slowly, turning to see Alexander. "Hi there! Nothing wrong with me, ehehe.~"

[Unified Free Lands]

Akuma laughed as they arrived at the bar, and she stepped out of the taxi. "Who cares what they think?" she said, grasping Miia's hand and grinning.

"I certainly don't.." With that she leaned in and kissed Akuma on the cheek, but quickly pulled back, blushing as they entered the bar. "Sorry.."

Akuma bristled a bit at the kiss but she didn't say anything. "What do you want to drink?" she asked. "I look older than you so I have a better chance at getting it."

[Scamvidia]

"I certainly don't.." With that she leaned in and kissed Akuma on the cheek, but quickly pulled back, blushing as they entered the bar. "Sorry.."

Akuma bristled a bit at the kiss but she didn't say anything. "What do you want to drink?" she asked. "I look older than you so I have a better chance at getting it."

"I'll just have whatever you get, I'm not picky when it comes to eating and drinking. And especially not during this, when I've never experienced drinking actual alcohol.."

[Unified Free Lands]

"I'll just have whatever you get, I'm not picky when it comes to eating and drinking. And especially not during this, when I've never experienced drinking actual alcohol.."

Akuma nodded and went to the bar counter, negotiating with the bartender a bit before coming back with a bottle of fireball whiskey and another bottle of gin. "Here, I was able to get these. They're both pretty strong, don't drink too much."

[Scamvidia]

"Uh right.. I'll try.." She took the bottle of Fireball and poured herself a shot, and then slammed it. She immediately started coughing. "Oh damn that hurts.." She sputtered. "It's like, burning my throat.. Ow.."

"You'll get used to it," laughed Akuma, drinking the gin straight from the bottle. She was more used to drinking, obviously. "It takes some people longer than others to do that though."

[The Olog-Hai]

Being ignored, as he typically is, Tikhomir sighs.
It's like I title, Chronically Ignored. It gets really annoying... his stomach grumbles. That's right. I haven't eaten anything all day, and it's Thanksgiving. There should be some good, filling food in abundant quantities.
Heading over to the cafeteria, he encounters mass chaos.
My god... Either way, if I can get to the food without being noticed, I'll still be able to eat. He begins to sidle towards the food, trying to look normal.

"Uh right.. I'll try.." She took the bottle of Fireball and poured herself a shot, and then slammed it. She immediately started coughing. "Oh damn that hurts.." She sputtered. "It's like, burning my throat.. Ow.."

"You'll get used to it," laughed Akuma, drinking the gin straight from the bottle. She was more used to drinking, obviously. "It takes some people longer than others to do that though."

"Right." Miia coughed again before trying to mimic Akuma and drinking the whiskey straight from the bottle. She felt like she was going to die, but she kept a straight face for Akuma.

"Right." Miia coughed again before trying to mimic Akuma and drinking the whiskey straight from the bottle. She felt like she was going to die, but she kept a straight face for Akuma.

"Awwww, you're so cute," Akuma chuckled, moving close to Miia and sliding her arm around her. The alcohol was taking an effect on her, as seen by her actions, and that was apparent to anyone who saw her.

Miia blushed and leaned into Akuma, enjoying the warming effect the alcohol had on her after it was past the initial burning sensation. "This stuff isn't so bad." She said, trying to play it off as she took another sip.

"Told you so," grinned Akuma, kissing Miia on the cheek. She was more playful when she was drinking, and she didn't get flustered like she did normally. She took another long sip, the effects getting stronger.

Seeing he was getting nowhere, BJ decided it would be best if he just left the squabbling people to themselves. By this time, he had enough energy for one last trick. He collected his dice and picked up a bunch of grapes. Right as he walked out the door, he turned to his peers and yelled, "HAPPY FREAKING TURKEY DAY!" He shotgunned the grapes at great loss to his energy and watched as they flew across the kitchen and even into the cafeteria, striking and splattering on everything and everyone they touched. Satisfied, BJ walked out of the room and back to the dorms, but struggled to even make it five feet before collapsing. "Sonuvagun." He said as his vision turned fuzzy. "This is not good." He feinted along a row of lockers.

"Son of a bitch!" Tikhomir screamed in rage. "Come back here now! I am mad! I was just trying to eat..."
What the hell was that for? Oh well, looks like I'm now involved. Why not continue?
In his hot-headedness, Tikhomir did not notice the rapid drop in temperature, and he threw a turkey into the fray.

"We might have to cut you off soon." Miia laughed and blushed as she was kissed. She downed the rest of the bottle, feeling the effects of the alcohol as well, but perhaps not as much as Akuma. Perhaps the snake part of her gave her some kind of resistance to alcohol.

"Hi there! Nothing wrong with me, ehehe.~"

Ellie felt her cheeks begin to burn as the girl pulled away from her, still feeling a tingling sensation where she'd kissed her cheek. She grew suddenly quiet, her cheeks a rosy red color, her face a mixture of emotions. She didn't know what'd just happened, or if that'd meant something, or if it was simply a friendly gesture. She couldn't make heads or tails of herself anymore, as if she were a stranger to herself once again. The only familiarities were those two blue orbs and her power to control the weather. She didn't like that.
She didn't like that at all.

She didn't like that at all.

Edmund turned a corner. He's been oblivious to everything. Everything apart from that.
He stopped dead at the end of the hall. His focus formed on the pair on the floor.
"Ellie." He whispered.

Ellie's stomach seized as she heard Edmunds quiet voice, the color draining from her face. Her breath caught in her throat. She'd done something wrong. She'd done something wrong and he'd seen it. She slowly turned around to face him, her blue eyes wide, fearful of what he might think of what just happened. She knew she should say "This isn't what it looks like," but she wasn't entirely sure what had just happened. She looked down at her feet for a moment, slowly looking back up, scared of what he might think. She didn't know what she could say to him.
