OOC;

I'm sorry my lovelies but I must shower and go to bed. If I had it my way, I would stay up and RP with you but I have work to do in the morning~

Replies in my ask! I'm sorry I couldn't get to them all before bed.

Night~

Again, Medusa was impressed by his retort. His intelligence was above average. At the moment, she was sure he was the first person she met that would prove difficult if he found out what her true motives were. 

“Well, I do like to be warm.” She admitted with a light chuckle. “Oh, I see. My mistake then. I’m still getting use to how large this place is. It’s a little overwhelming. But yes, I am new. I only arrived the other day. So far, everyone that I have met has been quite kind to me.” 

[He smirked a bit at her response. Being cautious it would appear and perhaps, understanding his meaning behind that? An interesting woman. One he'd keep an eye on to say the least.]

Snakes have beauty shown by their skin to conceal who they are and fangs of venom to strike with when the time is right. A very fascinating and deadly animal. To share the name of Medusa which relates to such a thing is quite fascinating. (I wonder if she shares these qualities as well...)

There are many kind people here who will do a lady no harm if you're careful. I.. Somehow doubt that will be a problem for you as it is. Tell me, what do you know of this place then if you're so new?

[His words were fuzzy to her as she clutched onto him, tears slowing down but continued to pour. By now his cloak was wet but she didn’t really care at the moment. She just needed somebody to be there for her right now.]

I-it’s not y-you. D-don’t worry.

[She hiccuped out a few words. Her tears were early finished but she continued to cling onto him. His hand on her head and around her was comforting, it helped ease her tears to a finish.]

I-I’m sorry.. I d-didn’t want t-to worry y-you like t-this.

[Zexion glanced off to the side, flushing from embarrassment. This was too strange for him to deal with, but he knew he had to. No matter how soaked he got. It was obvious that if he left, that'd be cruel on his part.]

I'm apart of the reason though... If I hadn't pushed your emotions so far, you wouldn't be crying... (Stupid... Such a stupid imbecile I am sometimes.) There's no need to speak. S-stop crying then speak.

[He bit his lip and waited for her to stop crying. However long that took.]

I cannot help but worry about someone I care for. I did not mean to upset you by worrying, but it's apparently something I cannot help but do.. My apologies.

“I suppose you’re speaking of young Edward Elric?” she said, in response to his question. It was fairly obvious who he was speaking about - who else could it be but the young State Alchemist? 

“You’re not mistaken. I’ve known him for quite some time,” she said. “I suppose that would make me one of the military that he mentioned.” 

Yes that's who I mean. Alphonse's elder sibling. [Zexion nodded a bit, satisfied with the fact he was right. It would have been embarrassing on his part to know he was wrong.]

That would explain the familiarity about you. There's a few who give off a similar scent, so I had to satisfy my curiosity. My apologies that you ended up here then. At least you know you're not alone.

“Of course,” Rufus replied sassily, arching an eyebrow at Zexion and flipping his hair. “I’m not all talk.”

“I mean neither,” Rufus stated dully. “I am well aware that my plans would fail if I were to attempt to gather people through brute strength and magic.” He scowled at the man. “Previous attempts were most likely dumb spurs of the moment. I will escape.”

[Seeing Rufus flip his hair annoyed Zexion. Only those foolish 'pretty boys' did that and this man was not one of them.] You hadn't given me reason to think you weren't all talk. Tell me, are these people you know from your home or new people? That would make a difference in my books.

Tch. [Zexion glanced off to the side boredly.] If you really believe that, then so be it. I wont stop you from believing you'll escape. I will warn you, foolish dreams will do you no justice. Living on dreams will only lead you down a spiral of despair and disappointment. [He turned away from Rufus, not really caring anymore. He could believe whatever he wanted, but it wasn't happening without challenging the Ringmaster.]

I'm so sorry I'm slow you guys.

All of you pretty much posted at the exact same time LOL.

I don’t…I know this may sound strange but he was acting nice. Ladd is friendly, sure, but…never is he kind or gentle. It was a strange thing to behold. If only I knew what was wrong. 

I’m sure things will be…alright. Ladd can’t stay different for long. [Otherwise…who would kill her in the end?] 

[Now he was confused completely. Being kind was a bad thing now? Or was it just because of who it involved? What a strange thing to see as wrong none the less.] Acting kind towards others...? Well.. I could take a guess and assume it's because of the circus. It may have had a strange effect on him.

Temporary I would imagine, but still an effect. After all, this place is quite different and curious... Give him time and he'll be normal once more. (One can assume that at least.)

coiled-serpent:

“Indeed it does. You are quite well read, hm?” A light chuckle escaped her lips as she continued to smile amicably towards the male. 

“And yes, it is an odd name to have, I suppose. Unfortunately, we can not choose our birth names.” She decided that if she could win this young man over, her acting skills would be all but perfected. He was waiting for something to happen, and he would continue waiting. This was a game she would never lose. 

“Are you new here as well?” 

Reading is something I do quite frequently. I read up on anything that could prove to be useful or interesting.

But no you're correct. One cannot choose the name they're given at birth. Generally though, the name suits the individual in some sense or another. (The scent suits the name to say the least...) [That was probably what kept him from falling for her act. Medusa wasn't lined up entirely with the impression she was given. Hence his suspicion. He could establish that if something was wrong with this woman, it would take a long time to decipher.]

I can't say I'm that new. I've been here for a month or so. Perhaps more. Judging by your question, it's safe to assume you're quite new here yourself?

[Fennel tapped her chin for a moment, trying to think of a way to word her studies in a way that hopefully wouldn’t come across boring, but would still do them justice.]

Yes, in fact they’re fascinating. And I suppose, that’s one of the things that I’m looking at. I’ve had a recent breakthrough that created an opportunity for trainers to travel into something referred to as the Dream World, which is a reality that takes place completely within their Pokemon’s dreams.

Though, the idea that you’re putting forth has also interested me for a long time. I wonder if it’s possible to reverse the effect of the dream mist and do just that! It can already show what’s in ones dreams, and is a vital part of my research of the Dream World. Bringing dreams into our actual reality, however, has been put off for a while since I’m currently so busy with my current project.

(Pokemon.. I remember hearing of these.) That sounds like quite a difficult, yet, intriguing task. To be able to travel in the dreams of another and see what they would dream of. Not just anyone, but a creature... I cannot say I've heard of anyone doing such a thing.

With the concepts of magic or illusions, I don't doubt it's possible to bring forth a dream to reality. Mind you, if you're from where I think you are, you'd have to take a different approach to it. [He chuckles a bit.] But you must prioritize first. Focus on what you feel is important first before venturing off. After all, if you can complete this task you're currently working on, then surely the other would come quite easily to you.

[She clutched the ends of her tunic, tears sliding onto the yellow fabric. The tears slowly came faster as her tunic began to darken in color. A sob emerged from her throat later followed by gasps of air and hiccups. She reclined to the floor, pulling her knees. She covered her face with her hands, catching the salty drops of water. She wanted him to stop. She felt so guilt for making him worry so much. She didn’t even know he worried this much. By now, she was sobbing. Letting out all the tears she didn’t dare shed. The tears of loneliness from home, being a secret kept by her parents. The tears of her journey, secretly missing them a little. The tears of the circus, wanting to go back to Ba Sing Se. The wanting of sight. Oh how she wanted to know what this amazing concept of color was. She let out all her tears, her body trembled with the sudden emotions. She couldn’t really stop, and she didn’t want to. She wanted to continue to cry, to release all these emotions, this stress, this wanting.]

[Zexion's eyes immediately shot open when she burst into tears. He.. Made her cry? Oh no. What was he supposed to do now? Why was she crying so bad? Why did he open his mouth about all this?]

T-Toph please...! T-there's no need for these tears. I didn't mean to upset you. I just erg.... Wanted you to understand is all. I... (What does one do in these situations? Do all 'brothers' make their 'sisters' cry like this? Do I... Let her cry or...?)

[Unsure what to do, he moves beside her and pulls the sobbing girl into a hug. Hoping she'd stop crying soon.] Please Toph... It's alright. I apologize... I-I didn't mean to cause this. Honest... [He placed one hand on her head, rubbing it gently and still keeping her in the hug. This is what people do when others are sad right? Well, if not, Zexion didn't know what else to do, so there he stayed.]

brideofakiller:

Well he’s been acting strangely…I’m afraid—it’s unlike him. [She whispers a bit lowly, afraid Ladd might be around to hear. She hardly ever worried about what Ladd might do to her—but in this case, it was different. And now he was gone…she was sure something happened to him without her being there to be by his side.]

I hope whatever it is…he’ll get better. [Smiles sadly at the other.] 

[He didn't like the sounds of that. From what he had heard of Ladd prior this, it would be quite worrisome if he started acting any different. His mind wandered, trying to think of a reason for this, but he hadn't even met Ladd yet, so it was hard to say.]

I'm sure he'll be quite alright if given the time to heal. I... Hate to ask, but do you perhaps know of anything that triggered his abstract behavior? Again, if it's personal, there's no need to worry about answering. I'm just.. Worried is all. (And curious of this. What could it be...)

thehawkseyes:

“I see. Well, I suppose we have something in common then, Zexion.” 

At least enough in common. He was not a military man, but an organization with ranks suggested that he followed the orders of his superiors on a regular basis. Of course, what those orders were, she did not know. 

He wanted to guess at something? Well, it wouldn’t be harmful to let him.

“Go ahead.” 

It would appear so.

[Another person of the military. It was interesting to him. Humans had such a complex way of organizing the ranks and keeping things in order. He might have to look into that sometime at the library. Or question Riza. Whichever was most fitting.]

Do you perhaps know of a boy named Edward? I remember some time ago he spoke of the military and said there were others here who were in that military. Are you one of the ones he mentioned? Forgive me if I'm mistaken.

No need to apologize…I’ve actually been in hiding too. [She smiles and rubs the bridge of her nose.]

I suppose I could’ve been better. I haven’t seen Ladd in a while which makes me really worried but…at the same time I’m really relieved. [Especially after that time.] 

... May I ask why you've been hiding? Someone such as yourself shouldn't have to hide from anyone. [He gave her a look, curious as to what had happened during his absence.]

That... Doesn't sound normal Miss Lua. The relieved part I mean. Did.. Something happen? Or is that too personal to ask...? [Last time he had spoken to her, she would speak fondly of Ladd. Not... Distant. Something must have happened.]

theblindbandit-:

[She bit her quivering lip. She was strong, but she was still a child. And well, children cry when lectured, no? But she wouldn’t let herself cry. Not yet. And hopefully not now. She couldn’t speak, in fear if she opened her mouth, she’d let out a sob. She didn’t want Zexion to worry like this. She didn’t want anyone to worry like this. She wanted adventure, something from back home that was difficult to get here at the circus.]

Toph you need to understand that the people you're dealing with here are not like the ones you know of from home and you're not the same as you are when you were there. Things are different and you need to be more careful or else...

(I could lose you. I... Don't want to entertain that thought at all...) Well, you understand what I mean. Some of these people here are kind, but there are some who would not be afraid to take your life if given the chance. You could potentially hurt not only yourself, but the ones around you who care for you. [He placed his hands on her shoulders, kneeling in front of her.] Please tell me you understand this Toph... I only worry because I care. (... And I'm afraid.)

coiled-serpent:

How amusing. He was already wary of her and they had only just met. It seemed she’d have to make sure that her persona did not slip for a second around this young man. “Certainly. My name is Medusa. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Zexion.” 

[His eyes narrowed a bit. The image she presented of herself ceased to falter. Was he wrong? No. His senses were never off about such a thing. At least, not before arriving in this place. He'd keep his guard up, just in case.]

Medusa. A name that comes from Greek mythology does it not? (A name attached to despair and trouble... Interesting..) An interesting name for a woman to have in this day and age.

Mm, thank you for understanding.

Oh, I nearly forgot! Sorry about that. [Fennel became a bit flustered at this, but her eyes lit up with excitement about talking about her work] I’m a scientist and I research trainers and dreams. You see, I think that there is a way to make them into reality with the help of some creatures from my world!

[He blinked at her momentarily, moving his bangs to the side so he could see her properly. Creatures and trainers? This sounded vaguely familiar. Whatever the case may be, she was passionate about her work.]

Trainers and dreams? Hmm... Interesting. What exactly do you mean by 'make them into reality'? Are you proposing turning the dreams into reality? (An interesting thought if that's what she means... I wonder how one would go about such a thing.)
