Holy High - IC 2 - Open

[Luminesa]

Haruka didn't know how to answer such a statement.

I...

We really haven't known each other that long...

Could this be a mistake?

She glanced over at Xavier, and then smiled.

She didn't need to know him for a long time to know that he was one of the best people she had ever known.

And that she loved him.

Helena looked how happy the two looked, "Uhhh, I'll just leave you two alone then" and Xavier could see the sadness in her eyes and left the room. She walked around the school, aimless and heard someone said hello. Helena turned her head to the unknown man in a slightly sad tone. "Hi, who are you?

Xavier sighed. "Agh, I knew it...I knew she had some sort of crush on me, Haruka-kun...ugh..." He put his hands on his head, trying to think. "...We are absolutely going to have the wedding...but first I need to set everything straight with Helena...if that's fine with you. I don't want her to be upset. She's a sweet kid, and...ugh. I don't want to be her heartbreak. I don't want to be anyone's heartbreak. That's...that's not what I was made to do..." He sighed, trying to think of something he could say to make Helena feel better.

I know in my heart I'm meant to be with Haruka.

This is where I am needed. I love her and I love her child, and I want to help them.

I want to be with Haruka forever.

Yet I need to find a way to tell Helena that life goes on...

She's just a kid, and I don't want to see a kid cry...

Dear Father in Heaven, what do I do?

[Charlia]

She snapped out of her visions, and her first reaction was fear, pushing him back and scrambling to her feet, assuming what looked like a defensive stance...

But in reality, would do absolutely nothing.

Most of her 'intimidation' routines were all show.

"Woah...calm down..." Cade said, standing and taking a step back, holding up his hands. "I'm not gonna hurt you, okay? Because it looks like that's what you're assuming I'm going to do..." His green eyes showed sincerety, though he doubted she really cared. She looked horribly terrified, but he wasn't sure why. Was it the way he was dressed? Did he look like he planned to hurt her? He wasn't sure. For now, he simply needed to have some distance, it seemed.

She took a few deep breaths, calming herself down.

"Right... Sorry... Not all here at the moment..."

"Go ahead," she said calmly, smiling. "I trust you."

[Ranoria]

Otohime glances at the lockers for a second, then back at Tori, "Nice to meet you Tori!" She fishes a kanju jewel out of her pocket and tosses it at the lockers, making the frost disappear, then heads into the cafeteria, right behind the ice goddess. She doesn't need to buy anything, summoning seaweed kebabs in a plastic bag, but follows anyways. "So where'd you come from? Not from the ocean I'm assuming, so I probably wouldn't know." She keeps smiling, happy as can be.

The fox glances at Otohime, a puzzled expression took over her face as she watched the other goddess summon a plastic bag. Everything Tori had summoned was nasty, she particularly liked the delectable gifts of food from grateful humans, who were damn good cooks. Tori ponders over Otohime's question, she wasn't too fond nor proud of where she came from. "Just a cold dreary place of nothing more than ice...."

She frowns. "Sounds like no fun at all. I think Giftzhan might be able to relate though..." She shrugs, laughing, "Well, at least it's got to be better here right? I don't know about you but I like to be all warm and cozy." She grabs a bottle of milk from the line, and looks over at Tori, "I don't drink water, that would be like drinking air." She then sits down and starts eating, making sure to be very neat and clean.

Helena would feel something lightly brushing her hair, and I'd she turned around it would be revealed as the snout of a thousand pound wolf.
He sniffed her for a bit, wondering why she smelled so strange.
He picked his head back up, towering over her, and tilted his head, his voice projecting itself from him. "You don't smell like everyone else, I can't even identify the scent. Why is that?" He sits on his haunches, tail wagging back and forth as we awaits a response.

Helena after seeing the unknown boy ignore her and talk to Charlotte. Helena was going to walk to the park and cry there but, turned around to face the person. "Maybe because I was a crystal before I was born". She said in a sad tone and didn't really seem to care.

He tilted his head and changed to human form for the first time in days.
"What's wrong? You're to young to look sad and depressed, so what's up?" He frowned, unsure. His dog-like nature meant that he didn't want to see anyone sad and he wasn't even sure why she was sad.

"Go ahead," she said calmly, smiling. "I trust you."

He smiled and nodded to her, standing up. "Thanks. I'll be right back," he told her, walking out the room to go find Helena.

"Helena! Where are you?" he called, looking around the school.

"I........... I just want to be alone right". "It's personal and I.... need to go now". Helena starts walking to the park and Xavier could spot her as she is walking there.

Zahn frowned, then shrugged before turning back to his wolf form, padding along down the hall, slurping Xavier when he passed him, and then started chasing after a fly. Sure, he wanted the gem-girl to be happy, but if she didn't want his help then he would go around and sniff other people.

As soon as he found her, he ran to meet her. "Helena, wait!" he called, running to see her. When he got to her, he told her, "Hey...I wanted to talk to you, if that's okay...You wanna maybe sit down with me and tell me what's up? I don't like seeing people depressed like that," he told her, concerned.

Helena looks up at him and a tear was forming in her eye. "Could we talk in the park then.... of somewhere nice like....." Helena thinks about her plans for the two of them laying on the roof of the dorms watching the stars together. A tear starts to fall down her face, "Why talk to me ,you have someone to care about now". She said in a sad tone.

[Charlia]

The blood loss was making her dizzy, but she couldn't stop now.

Almost out... Ah...

She felt faint. Her eyes started to close.

Hurts...

I have to... Help... I need to...

I can't...

A voice.

"Charlotte?"

"Oh... You are..."

She only managed to get out one final word before she collapsed into darkness.

"Late..."

[Ranoria]

Otohime, after she finishes eating, throws her trash out and walks out of the cafeteria.
Where to now..? she shrugs, deciding to go congratulate Haruka and Xavier on the engagement, walking down the hall before leaning her head in the door and knocking. She frowns, seeing Haruka without Xavier. "Hey Haruka! I was coming to congratulate you on the engagement! But uh, where's Xav-" she stops, seeing Kyoko, "Awww! She's adorable! Is this your daughter?" She walks in, leaning over the small child, "Well aren't you just precious?" She stops her cooing to look up at Haruka, "What's her name?"

Well, that spread quickly.

"Her name is Kyoko," she said quietly. "And thank you. As for where Xavier is, I believe he's trying to let Helena down easy... If he was anyone else I might be worried but I trust him."

"Please, I care about everyone," he told her, with a smile. He took her hand and looked at her, kindly. "Now tell me what's up," he asked of her.

Shoudl I tell her that Father paid for the ring? Nah...
"Helena? What's she upset...oh...did she like Xavier? It couldn't have been much more than a crush though, I don't think they've talked except for maybe once." She looks down at Kyoko, frowning slightly, "What a precious little girl...I saw my son once before I was forced to leave..." She shakes her head and smiles, "Oh don't let my distant past dampen this for you, I'm really happy for you two. Have you started thinking about who's doing what?" She glances warmly at Kyoko, "I know you've got an adorable flower girl..."

[Luminesa]

After having thought for a few more minutes, Lux looked at Raphael again.

"Um...how long are you...going to be in Japan?...I was wondering...and...um...do...do you...do you like...ummm..." he asked. He hardly wanted to give away his plan, but he didn't want his plans to go wrong. Everything had to be just right.

She glances warmly at Kyoko, "I know you've got an adorable flower girl..."

"We have been considering, but we haven't decided on anyone... Wait, what?"

She paused.

"You had to leave your son? I'm... I'm so sorry..." She was sincere. Having been separated from her daughter for so long had been agony.

"Why...... it doesn't matter anymore, you have someone now and......." Helena turns around and her back is facing Xavier. Tears start to fall from her face, "I...... like you Xavier.... even before I was born I liked you....." Helena said in a sad hushed tone.

After having thought for a few more minutes, Lux looked at Raphael again.

"Um...how long are you...going to be in Japan?...I was wondering...and...um...do...do you...do you like...ummm..." he asked. He hardly wanted to give away his plan, but he didn't want his plans to go wrong. Everything had to be just right.

"Oh, well, we're going to Nepal first. Gonna be there for... a day or two. Mount Everest and all that. Then I would think we'd go to Japan for Christmas, so that's at least a week long thing. And do you I like what?" he asks, tilting his head.

"Ummmm...ah...well..." He began to twiddle his thumbs a bit. "...What is that show...you watch with Otohime?"

"You had to leave your son? I'm... I'm so sorry..." She was sincere. Having been separated from her daughter for so long had been agony.

She raises a hand and shakes her head. "A story for another time." The Princess laughs, "If you need anything for the wedding, you just come to me or my father, I'm sure we can provide."
She is a sweet lady, caring about my troubles when she's about to enter the greatest time of her life. "Anything at all." She looks at Kyoko for a moment, a look of longing in her eyes, remembering the years she had wanted her son, decades even, before she had moved on.

Raphael blinks at him. "Oh, Tokyo Ghoul. Why do you ask?"

She nodded distantly, and then saw the look in Otohime's eyes.

"Would you... Would you like to hold her?"

[Luminesa]

"Ummmm...ah...well..." He began to twiddle his thumbs a bit. "...What is that show...you watch with Otohime?"

Raphael blinks at him. "Oh, Tokyo Ghoul. Why do you ask?"

"Do you...um...watch...other...anime?" he asked.
