Neyen barely understood a word of Sylvia's explanation, so she just slowly nodded in faux understanding. She grasped what a gun was, in concept; you can point it at people and shoot them, and usually, they die. But she wasn't really sure what they looked like, or sounded like, or... how they...

Neyen picked her bag back up. Everyone here was an adult. She'd only seen other children a handful of times during her sparse outings with Dr. Vinmer, and it dawned on her that she'd never actually talked to anyone in her own age group before. It made her feel small. Should she act professional...

"Yes, this is Dr. Vinmer. I've been granted special clearance. Our brave little soldier here..." The middle-aged woman guided the young girl accompanying her toward the booth. "... is a bit sheltered. I'm only here to see her off. This is my ID." The girl -- Neyen -- kept her gaze firmly locked...

"Eat this, rebel scum!" Whirling a staff -- more of a walking stick, really -- behind her back, a spry young woman with auburn locks advanced with threatening poise. Standing defiantly in her path was a boy maybe half her size, a forked twig gripped firmly in his small hands. The staff spun its...

Atua blinked, watching as the trio of guardsmen turned and left. Absentmindedly, her gloved fingers massaged an old scar that ran across her side. They were surprisingly nice. Her hand moved away from the wound, as did her mind from the memory of it, and she smiled softly. It makes me want to...

Atua hardly registered the man digging his fingers deeper into her skin, nor his casually snide remarks; much in the way a light breeze made little impression upon solid oak. Carefully, she bowed with her arm bent and pressed under her chest; a gesture she familiarized as demonstrating respect...

"Caught this one trying to hunt in the Outfields." A gloved hand shoved Atua forward, interrupting a close game of cards between two fellow guardsmen. Sunlight curved around the newcomers, masking their features in shadow as they stood at the doorway in anticipation. The uniformed men sitting...

Jin merely scowled and adjusted his loosened uniform, turning his back to the school. "Bastard." With that, he broke off into a run and vanished behind the treeline in pursuit. Tasha, with the help of another student, began to carry the debilitated Winter away somewhere, likely to the nurse's...

"Hold on just one second! Where do you all think you're going?" From the intersecting hallway, footsteps from student council president Mason Roe and his posse of student board goons could be heard coming their way. They had been watching from the sidelines, waiting for the right moment to...

"Report." Paladin Riane accepted the letter with a gauntleted hand, reviewing it as she kept an eye on the messenger. "No major movement from the enemy yet," the Diogene messenger nodded, holding his fist to his chest. "There is some minor activity in the surrounding encampments, likely only...

As they watched, the beast began to perk up its head and sniff the air -- the wind direction had changed. Now, the mild scent of summer heat that clung to the students in the hallway traveled toward the gate. It dropped to a more defensive posture lower to the ground, letting off a single...

Winter held her fingertips against the glass pane and looked over her shoulder. Oh. It was just Yuki. Again. Still, she smiled a little, watching her leave the room with a shake of her head. Carver... who was that again? She swiveled her head around and saw a boy had joined them at the window...

Somewhere underneath Aria Academy, the beam of a flashlight illuminated an old winding stone staircase. The only sounds that could be heard were leather footfalls against the steps, taken slowly and with caution. The air felt noticeably stale, mostly odorless but musty like a room kept sealed...
