Tagged: Vixella

Slightly surprised by Vixella's little speech - because he'd certainly not been expecting anything of the sort from her - Elliot was rather unsure as to what he should say, for once. His silence was not too long, though, for he replied, "Aw, thank you. I know that I can be difficult to be friends with as well, and I'll never fully understand having a destiny that I don't want, but..." he trailed off for a moment, to figure out how to articulate his next sentence. "...Well, that's what the Defy movement is about, isn't it? To fight to write your own destiny? I think your mother would be proud of that - flipping the script to be your own person." Elliot smiled warmly, the kind of genuine smile he reserved only for his friends. He knew what he said probably sounded odd, considering he was on the 'Destiny' side, but that didn't mean that he wasn't sincere.

He flew off, away from the Enchanted Lake, in a panic, without daring to look back - though if he had done, then he might have found out that it had all been an elaborate prank. But he didn't. It didn't take long before his flying was slightly wonky, and his left wing - where his wrist would have been - started to hurt. Dylan carried on, however, until he reached the academy, and flew down onto a large balcony that was often used by students to watch the sunsets and to stargaze. He landed, and turned back into his human form, breathing a little heavily. He moved to sit down on a bench, leaning forward, just trying to steady himself. He was okay, aside from his wrist... but should he tell anyone what he saw, what happened? He looked up, out towards the forest. It seemed quiet, and still... no, not yet. He doubted anyone would believe him anyway.

Nickolai Cracker

Son of the Nutcracker
Location: Dorm.
Tagged: Lyra.

At Lyra's suggesion, Nickolai gave it some thought. It certainly seemed like a good idea - and it would help give everyone the chance to go, if they wanted. On the other hand, though, Nickolai had only thought about inviting a select few others that he did actually want to go with. "It might be possible," Nickolai started, "but we'd have to come up with a good pitch - y'know, why it'll be a good idea, the benefits of it, and taking into consideration any risks and how to minimise them. But with a good presentation, and perhaps support from other students, they're bound to agree!" he explained, figuring that it was best to lay out what they'd have to do, but he was sure that it would be worth it.
"Well, nearly everyone would enjoy it." Nickolai corrected, for he was sure that there would be a few students that did not like gingerbread - and he was pretty certain that Piper Rat would fall into that category, though he wondered if he was being biased, considering he was meant to be enemies with her.
He then shrugged slightly. "I'm not sure on details... but yes, let's get going. It's bound to be something exciting, since we didn't really have any sort of school event last term, except the 'Welcoming Ball', did we?"

"L, everything is fine; so what if you don't quite understand why some people decide to defy. There's some of use who want to rewrite it in our own twist and then there are some of us I'm sure who just want to go live their own life and not have anything to do with a story. Imagine how hard it'd be for us to talk if we didn't understand one another. You know you can come and talk to me about everything and anything right Elliot?" She rambled but made sure he knew that she meant every word she said and will never say to him.

" Wouldn't be interesting to cause mischief at the assembly? Just think of the disarray we could cause." She smirked rather much like a villain, she loved causing mischief and trouble. "Why do we have to even be our parents? Why can't we be ourselves and who we are and want to be?" She sighed softly looking ahead of them towards the hoards of people. "[color=#000BFBF]To them I do no wrong, but to my step family I do all wrong. In fact when I do wrong it never falls on me; in fact it falls onto my step-mother who quote unquote raised me while father way out of town.[/color]" She still had the mischievous smile as she spoke her sentence.

Cassidy let out a fit of laughter. "I guess not. I suppose that'll be a blast of a class. You think there will be anything white about my wedding? Oh no no no, it'll be a wedding fit for the red queen of hearts herself. Heads will role, rabbits will be late, and small insolent children will fall down holes and drink the win and take the pills. Yes, I want a wonderland themed wedding." He finished saying with a cheeky grin.

Elodie watched as the two of them walked off, breathing in short, furious breaths in through her nose. Something during the conversation, unknown to her or the other two, her hands had balled the fabric of her dress into fists; however, her cheery, docile smile stayed plastered on her face, fake as ever. The announcement played over her head as she stood frozen with rage within the middle of the school entrance hall.
A million little threats ran running through her head, the opportunity to use them long gone. How dare Vixella use her fathers terrible decisions against the Evil Queen to prove her simple little point. 'Unmitigated violence results in a ruined kingdom!' She wanted to scream. Instead, she cut her nails deep into her palm, stifled her fury in her throat, and forced her feet to walk, not caring where she ended up.

Elodie moved through the corridors, breathing short, huffed breaths through her nose as she walked. She slowed to a stop in an empty hallway, confident in her ability to not alert anyone, and let out a loud, almost guttural scream, pushing out all her anger and frustration with the screech.

He thought about what Vixella said, and then nodded slightly in understanding. He was not usually one for heartfelt moments like this. But for now, with Vixella, he would be more than willing to be so like that. Especially as they were sat in the front of the large auditorium, with no other students around - at least, not close to where they were sat - to hear them. "Of course I know that. And I'll be sure to. And you can talk to me about anything as well, of course." Elliot replied, his tone uncharacteristically gentle, and not at all like his usual, dramatic self. He was probably going to have to make twice as many demands from others within the next hour or so to make up for it.

As he sat, still looking out at the rest of the school grounds that he could see from the balcony, Dylan turned around when he heard the faint sound of someone screaming from inside. It wasn't a scream of fear - more of one of anger and frustration. He hesitated, unsure as what he should do. He didn't want to intrude and potentially get his head bitten off - that had already almost happened once today. But at the same time, he felt as though he just couldn't not check on whoever had made the guttural sound. Taking a deep breath, and still tentatively holding his wrist, Dylan walked across the balcony, and went back inside. He glanced up and down the corridor, and quickly spotted Elodie Snow. Now that surprised him more than anything - he'd always considered Elodie to be a happy, always-cheerful person. He bit his lip, then steeled himself as he called out quietly towards her, "Elodie? What happened?" he asked - there was no point in asking if she was okay, because the answer seemed to be an obvious 'no'.

Elodie straightened her back as she heard a man's voice, slowly uncurling her fingers from her palm. She didn't need to look at them to know that red crescents had been left in the skin. As quick as she could, Elodie smoothed her expression into one of gentle cheer. She turned around to the voice and smiled to the man, Dylan Swan. "What happened? Oh, nothing's happened here. Don't worry Dylan" She chirped, swiping strands of her hair out of her face and smoothing out the bunched areas in her dress.
She looked at his worried expression, and took a few steps forward. "Oh, are you talking about that awful scream a few moments ago? I have no idea where that came from" She lied, flashing another sweet smile.
