~|The Darkness Rises|~ (Rise of the Guardians RP)

[SmaugTheGolden]

>>> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH THE HOBBIT!!!!! *Explodes with happiness*

Nera's eyes slowly returned as the darkness retreated back and away from view, "I guess your right, we should continue, it should help to take our minds off things," she said softly in a now much calmer voice. Though she was indeed not calm, she would not let her features betray her true feelings and thoughts.

((YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOLKIENITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I get waaaaayyy too excited when I talk about anything Middle-earth related!!!!!!!!! Got my ticket for the 12th, though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))

Spike flinched at the sudden touch but didn't move away, instead glancing at the benevolent creature gratefully for its unsought comfort. Tightening the self-embrace, the feral girl forced herself to not let the threatening tears escape. She was usually stronger than this, not used to feeling such strong surges of raw emotion. She didn't want her acquaintance to observe her weakness, to see her cry. Sometimes when people saw her cry as a mortal they would take pity on her, even letting her take a scrap of food if she was lucky. More often than not, however, she was beaten for the attempt of guilt-tripping those around her by the wiser, more selfish folk. She'd seen some degree of kindness in the tiny being but didn't dare take the risk; she'd taken enough beatings to know not to rely on strangers, no matter how trustworthy they seemed. Untangling her spindly arms from the sunken waist, she then used a trembling hand to wave away the scene, wishing for it to disappear.

Ignis would've be lying if she'd told herself that she hadn't had expected as normal and lame as forgiveness for Joshy. In fact, she thought it to be almost too predictable for him. Though, at least she hadn't predicted the troubled past for one thing which was a pleasant surprise. She knew that people such as Bozo or Nera would have lives that were filled with neglect and hate but for someone as collected as Joshy to supposedly have that was... most intriguing. "That seems the case with you, but I have to say that me and my buddy here can't say the same for that theory," she said, grinning smugly. She nudged Bozo with an elbow and the two shared an amused glance.

Sorrow couldn't meet her eyes, rubbing the back of his head uncomfortably. Although they hadn't known each long, he had a feeling that she was keeping a calm mask for his sake only and it made him uneasy musing about what she was really feeling. Still, he just wanted to find the stupid book keeper and get this day to be over with. "Um, yeah... Well, ur, can we hurry it up in any way? It's just that- well, the sun is setting and it's gonna get really dark soon..."

Joshua's mouth dipped down into a frown as he sighed. "Well so much for that theory..." He muttered, with a slight shrug. "I suppose you two are just some of the lucky ones. That, or I was just unluck." Josh finally shook his head in dismissal of his lingering thoughts and turned his attention to the pair. "What are your centres anyway, then?" He wondered, eyeing them up and down and trying to put in a best guess to what they'd match up with. From what he could see this far, it wasn't going to be anything like the nature of his. That only brought him to ponder once again why Ignis was keeping him around. Obviously Bozo just went along with her interests.

Baby Tooth

I touched the container again, the scene flowing away. I looked at Spike, wondering if she knew what she wanted to do.

[SmaugTheGolden]

Nera nodded in understanding, "We could stop for the night if that would make you feel better," she suggested, she didn't mind much either way. She turned away and walked over to a nearby fallen tree, perching herself on top of it happily as she waited for a responce from Sorrow.

[~NeonTanzy~]

((Sorry for the gap in posting. I've had and am having to do some really long and important assignments at the moment. Things should hopefully clear up in a couple of months. ))

Ignis paused for a moment, trying to choose her next words aptly. She knew that Joshua wouldn't be scared by the unveiling but didn't want him to get the impression that would make the situation more difficult for her. "Well... mine is evil," she admitted, shrugging. "Though, to be honest, I try to balance it through mortals, and let them overcome it rather than let people cause havoc everywhere."

Cue mysterious coughing from Bozo.

Ignoring her friend, who was trying his best to keep a straight face, Ignis smiled. Being fair, she was also trying hard not to laugh, for the very idea of her being responsible or doing what she'd just said was absurd. She simply preferred to cause mayhem among her fellow immortals, and made mortals become psychopathic when she desired. Of course, nowadays she was bound to Pitch (though she loathed to admit that) so had less time to commit acts of evil. Once this whole feud was over she hoped to change that.

"Go on, Bozo," she prodded after a beat passed. "Disappoint him with yours."

Huffing, the younger bluntly growled, "Paranoia."

Spike nibbled the hangnail on her little finger, not paying attention to the tiny creature until she looked back up. Her head hung low, letting the small, straggly locks of hair hide her eyes from the acquaintance, though her eyes continued to observe it closely. She then had a sudden thought and snapped her head upwards, forgetting that the skin was still clamped in her teeth so that it ripped off rather painfully, little beads of blood swelling at the tear. Shaking her throbbing finger, the child pointed emphatically to her own teeth and then back at the container, for although she had her set of teeth now, she remembered losing some of her first set when she was a little older than a babe. She'd never seen a creature such as this take her numerous teeth as she'd thrown it away (no merchant in their right mind would pay her for a bloody tooth, after all) and just assumed that they were lost. Back then it had meant nothing to her; teeth were useless, but now they seemed to mean something significant to others. She wondered if a little scene would play out for her if they had been found...

***

Sorrow was relieved at the question, and even more so when Nera sat herself down on the felled tree. He gave a little nod and moved himself beside her, though a little further away than he would've liked to. He thought himself stupid but didn't want to make his new friend feel uncomfortable. On the one hand, if he sat too close Nera would perhaps get the wrong impression and think that he was trying to... flirt with her? He liked her, yes, he liked her a lot and he wasn't sure of his true feelings towards her yet. Did he fancy her? He inwardly blanched at the word "fancy", for it sounded trivial, not to be taken seriously. He supposed it was rather like himself. Besides, he had virtually no confidence to speak of and found it hard to remain conversing with her at times, let alone speak his troubled emotions. Anyway, on the other hand, he didn't want to seem to be rude or standoffish by sitting further away. He knew he'd get it wrong one way or the other, so settled on sitting nearly a full metre from the older girl, rubbing the back of his neck with a clenched fist.

>>> Oh my cheese! I am so sorry for not posting in months! I have been dying with all the school work I have been getting, and now I have a job, so I have had even less time to come online. Again, I'm really sorry D:

Nera watched Sorrow sit down, around a meter from her. She took a glance at the distance, but did not dwell on it. She glanced up at the moon, only just realizing it had steadily risen into the sky, she wondered if Bianco would be enjoying the bright light of the moon. It was not often she considered her brother, where he was, or what he was doing, mainly because of the friction between the two, but occasionally her mind would wonder off on a tangent and she would ponder such things.

[pugshark99]

(!!!!me too! So sorry. I had left CS for a while so I wasn't around to reply. But now I've mainly just given up the pet-collecting side of it, and I would gladly keep up with the RP here!))

Joshua's eyes shifted between the pair again, not too shocked by the admitting of the centres. It would be a lie to say it didnt suit them. Nodding slowly, he produced a small smile at that. "Well, it sure sounds like you two could have some fun with what you can do." The newer immortal had always been one to stick to himself and never had put in the effort to make new friends, or acquaintances, so he was wondering about his choice of company right now. Of course he didn't really have much of a "type" to be around. But the nature of these two wasn't something he was too familiar with.

(Sorry about not replying!)
Baby Tooth

I understood the seemingly young girl's motions an flew off in search of her container. I found it quickly and sped back to Spike, carrying it as best as I could. I set it down in front of her and caught my breath from flying so quickly.
