A Silver Lining

In nature, there is a constant struggle between those who seek the comfort of shadows and mists, and those who seek the brilliant light of the celestial heavens. It isn’t necessarily a battle of night and day, though often it is phrased as such. It is a great struggle that dapples the sky with lighting and clouds and gives personality to the great blue dome that serves us as a roof in our Earth home.

All this to say, Tsuki found it highly ironic that she, the moon kid, had to go head to head with a cloud boy.

Irony always seemed to find her.

She hadn’t really done any research on him; she hadn’t had the chance. Having had just arrived a few hours before on the train, fresh from Japan and her foster home with the Spellmans, she had been hoping she would be met by her sort of? sister at the station, but apparently this whole student versus student debacle had been happening. Welcome to Taiyuu, now go steal an orb and beat someone up while you’re at it.

Not that she was going to complain. She bounced from foot to foot, flexing her gloved hands and trying to ward off the bone deep tiredness that always found her around this time of the moon cycle, and especially after the long train ride. Her fingers tingled almost imperceptibly from constant erosion of waning crescent as she eyed him from one side of the lobby of the faux hotel that would serve as their arena the boy she would be fighting. All dark blue hair and wisps of fog, his floating on a cloud a few inches above the ground brought to mind images of old gods sitting contentedly upon clouds as they watched the world. She blinked her eyes a few rapid times, trying to flash herself into a higher functioning level. It was only mildly successful. That train had been irritatingly comfy. A sound like the hollow cry of a gong echoed across the fake city and alerted them to the match’s start. Before Tsuki could fully react, the boy scooped air into his hand. Thick grey tendrils of stormcloud gathered around his hand like hens gathering around a farmer sprinkling corn. Crackling and popping with electricity, the clouds turned on Tsuki with alarming speed and ferocity and shot towards her like great billowing bullets of the sky. Ah. So that was what “cloud quirk” had meant. Reacting on the instinct that had kept her alive for years, Tsuki dropped down behind a plush, impeccably white armchair. Lightning flickered briefly and with no break thunder roared in Tsuki’s ears as the clouds electrocuted the white chair. Well. Now she was awake. Head ringing, she made a snap decision and lept to her feet, grabbing a vase of plastic flowers from the small coffee table. The clouds flashed again, lightning spearing through her arm. A brief, awkward silence followed as the lightning passed through her highly see through arm harmlessly, as if it wasn’t even there, and scorching the wall. Kemuri-san looked mildly embarrassed and Tsuki grinned widely. She spread her arms, a few pebbles falling from the mouth of the vase and clinking on the floor. “Sorry, looks like I’m not all there today.” She vaulted over the chair, cackling and throwing a wide arc of pebbles and sad pretend flora as she dashed towards her opponent with her improvised weapon. As she swung at Kemuri-san, another crack sounded and the vase shattered in her translucent hands. The boy darted out of the way on his cloud, and Tsuki hit the ground with a roll, the scattered shattered pottery slicing open her cheek as she went over it. Getting back to her feet, Tsuki quietly marvelled over the boy’s excellent reaction time. If this was the kind of fighter this school boasted, she was proud to have gotten in. It was hard not to envy him. As she reoriented herself and prepared to charge him again, Tsuki noticed the boy’s gaze flicking toward the main feature of the room; a combination koi pond and fountain. And as her own eyes dissected the rippling patterns on the water, she saw what was in that fountain: a little orb, being cautiously nibbled by a large goldfish with an insatiable curiosity.

As if on a cue from an unseen director, the two dashed toward the water feature. Her legs were sure under her, even if her feet did sink nearly to the ankles in the floor. Tsuki had just started to pull ahead of the boy when she heard another crack and felt a searing heat on the small of her back as the lightning struck true. She stumbled and fell into the fountain with the fish. Cloud boy zipped past her and scooped the orb from the pond. Taking no time to gloat, he zipped to the stairwell to the first floor and freedom as if an invisible wind was pushing him. Tsuki’s body was abuzz, feeling like it was moments from vibrating apart. A drop of blood, brilliantly crimson against her fading out skin, billowed outward into the water to explore as she struggled to stand and shake off the paralyzing effect of the electricity. Now on her feet and buzzing more than ever, Tsuki’s focus sharpened. No way in heaven she was going to be beat on her first day by someone whose hero name might end up being Foghorn. Through the window, she could see Kemuri-san’s quick flight towards his goal line and her defeat.

Aw, heck no.

She sprinted toward the window, no plan in her mind but to stop his exodus.

Few things in life are more majestic than flight. A bird, wings outstretched as they glide. A cloud, meandering across the sky with the dignity of a monarch. An airplane, cutting a defiant path through the air as it carries lives to and fro.

A nearly invisible girl, dive bombing through a window yelling a battlecry.

Tsuki’s aim was near perfect. As she lept through the glass, fractures spread across its surface. It didn’t shatter, she wasn’t tangible enough for that. But a beautiful bullseye of cracks spread outward from her exit point. Her intangibility sent her flying right through him, a feeling that he would later compare to a convulsion and searing flash of dizzy confusion. Her gloved hands, unfaded like the rest of her clothing, wrapped around the orb as she hit the ground in a tuck-n-roll and came up on her feet again. With her newfound prize, Tsuki sprinted back down the sidewalk away from Kemuri-san, intent on the other end of the sidewalk where she was supposed to take the orb.

A cloud whooshed past her, dark gray tendrils and crackling lightning imminent as it positioned itself directly in her path, ready to intercept.

Uh, nope.

She took a detour, right into the hotel.

Running through the front door, she hurtled up the stairs to the lobby and up another and another, until she was on the fourth floor. Her footsteps made nary a sound on the knobby carpet as she ran at full speed toward an innocent cart of restocking towels. Tsuki dashed right through it, her slight tangibility managing to knock it over behind her. Not planned, but a pleasant bonus. She looked back to see Kemuri-san flying up the stairs and laughed triumphantly as he reached the impromptu barricade. That ought to slow him down.

He flew right over it.

Her laugh died on her lips and she refocused her energies on what currently mattered: getting away with the orb. Making a split second decision, she took a sharp left into a room and slammed the door behind her. Looking quickly to the side, she saw a small stack of papers.

From the hallway, Kemuri-san could see Tsuki's hand clip through the door holding a small sign that read "Do Not Disturb". She hooked it on the doorknob and retracted it through the wood. That ought to hold him. A small drop of blood from her vase-initiated wound dripped down her cheek, and she wiped it away. The red stain on her otherwise white glove was startling, and she paused a moment to admire it.

As the door flew open, Tsuki grabbed the first weapon she could think of. A pillow held defensively in front of herself, she assumed a stance that left her shielding the orb from Kemuri-san and his clouds. With a dismayed expression, she shook a hard-to-see finger at him.

"Didn't you read the sign?"

Kemuri-san let out a surprised bark of laughter, and Tsuki felt a tickle of satisfaction trace its way up her spine. The boy raised his hand, and a cloud flew towards her. The past few weeks of watching videos of baseball games to help her better understand the very American Spellmans gently took her hand and raised it in a batter's stance. With a solid whmpahf, she whacked Kemuri-san's cloud and also managed to clip the one that was keeping him aloft. The disturbance of the air dispersed the particles and Kemuri-san fell with a thump. In her few seconds of time, Tsuki threw her pillow at Kemuri-san, which he caught in surprise as he got to his feet. Tsuki grabbed the other plush pillow from the comforter-clad bed and brandished it. “Pillow fight. Me, you.”

Kemuri-san, finding absolutely no problem with this, came in swinging. She cackled in surprise and jumped away from the bed, wapping another cloud away. Kemuri-san’s pillow had an icy cloud wrapped around it, and every time their weapons connected Tsuki’s pillow grew colder. The slowly crystallizing and frostbitten pillow nipped at her fingers as she retreated from the onslaught of feather-stuffed cloth. Finding herself backed against the wall, Tsuki was caught off guard as a Kemuri-san got in a solid hit.

Apparently, he had forgotten her intangibility. She had too. The force was just enough to shove her through the wall, dropping the orb to the floor with a humble plasticky tmhp as she disappeared, pushed straight through the wall and into open air, four stories up.

Gravity refused to acknowledge her intangibility, and she dropped like a stone thrown into a lake, though she left far fewer ripples as she plummeted. From afar, she would’ve been hard to see. Merely a fast falling shimmer in the air. Air flew by her too fast to be breathed, and in the seconds of free fall fear became a good friend.

But then, like a quilt made of melancholy and discarded dandelions, a cloud wrapped around her and caught her in the air. Her brown eyes shot upwards and met the panicked blue of Kemuri-san’s. He was leaning precariously out the window, hand thrown towards her as a direction to the clouds. For a few moments she hung there, a dangling toy on a mobile. Her breath had abandoned her during the fall, but it slowly and sheepishly returned as the cloud slowly drifted back up toward the window.

Tsuki tumbled through the window frame, heart beating out a violent tattoo of fear against her head. She lay on the ground for a few minutes, waiting for her pulse to slow a little and thanking any and all gods who happened to be listening for solid ground. Kemuri-san looked breathless and terrified as his clouds slowly dispersed around Tsuki. “Are you okay? When you fell- I almost had a heart attack. I had no idea-”

Tsuki rolled over and got to her feet, pressing her hand against her chest. Her eyes darted to the corner, where the orb sat undisturbed. He hadn’t gone for it when she fell? Tsuki walked over and scooped it up, then turned back and offered it to Kemuri-san.

“Here.”

He had pulled her back in. Sent a cloud after her without a second thought for the orb or the competition they were in. He didn’t have to do that. Kemuri-san looked confused by her gesture, and she proffered it again.

“Take it. I, uh.” She circled a hand in the air, trying to find the words. “You didn’t have to help me. But you did. And, I appreciate that. It was just, well. Incredibly honorable. And sweet. I’m bad with words- just take it?” Kemuri-san’s expression was touched by understanding, but the concern wasn’t fully gone. He got to his feet as his clouds started to reform around him.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Tsuki waved a hand dismissively. “I will be. I just need a minute. It’ll give you a headstart.”

This was apparently good enough for him, and he took the lightly pulsing orb. Tsuki watched him hurry from the room and listened to his footsteps tthpm tthpm down the carpeted stairs as she caught her breath and berated it for ever leaving. As soon as her lungs were ready and her eyes had stopped spinning from fear, she jumped to her feet. Taking only a moment to pull a new, tangible pair of gloves from her pocket and discard the faded old ones, she ran to the door, then thought for a second before screwing up her face in concentration. Like the floor had fallen out from under her, Tsuki suddenly dropped down and out of sight.

Tsuki could surmise it had been alarming when she suddenly dropped from the ceiling of the kitchen, because Kemuri-san nearly dropped the orb as he tripped backwards in surprise. Huh. Lucky she had ended up here. Grabbing some heating mitts and pulling them onto her feet like crappy last minute shoes, Tsuki roundhoused the orb out of Kemuri-san’s hands and into the empty, bone-dry sink. Ripping off the mitts before they could pick up on her intangibility and fade past usefulness, she grabbed the orb out of the sink with one of her kid-gloved hands. She ran right through the counter, falling to the floor as an electrified frying pan Kemuri-san had thrown through a storm cloud clipped her and knocked her to the ground.

Kemuri-san snatched the orb and booked it out as he had been doing before she got in his way. As the shock was smaller this time, Tsuki was able to stick her leg through the counter and kick the pan into his path in time to trip him and send him to the floor. She phased through the counter the rest of the way and grabbed the prize again, booking it out the door and into the elevator and slamming her fist into the “up” button. The doors opened and she hurried in, frantically mashing at the “Close Doors” and “Floor 20” buttons. Kemuri-san scrambled out of the kitchen and flew at full speed toward the elevator. “Hold the door!”

The sliding doors glided closed peacefully, just before the cloud boy could get in. Tsuki awkwardly enjoyed a few quiet minutes of silence as the box slowly moved upwards, a tinny tune droning mindlessly in the background in a vain attempt at music. It wasn’t Mozart, but it was catchy and Tsuki found herself humming it as she squeezed her eyes shut and tried to swallow the acidic fear that was clutching at her heart. You’ll be out soon. You’ll be out soon. Hang in there. By the time the elevator arrived at the roof, her heart was a butterfly-quick mess and her breath was quick and short. She stumbled out of the confinement and into the open air.

Tsuki crouched next to the box that held the elevator and clutched the orb close to her chest with trembling arms as she fought back the rising panic. She had thought she could handle it, but the nagging sense of impending harm and tightness in her throat told her she couldn’t. A minute of slow breathing carefully calmed her heart rate and she got shakily to her feet. She was still competing. She needed to finish this.

Kemuri-san stepped onto the rooftop out of the shack-like stairwell, and everything was eerily quiet for a moment. Then a fist caught him in the jaw, sending him sprawling. Tsuki, standing to the side of the door with her arm still extended from the sucker punch, looked startled. She dropped the orb, and scurried over. “Oh my gosh, I didn’t mean to hit that hard! I am so sorry, is anything broken?”

She set the orb down and took his face firmly in her hands, examining his jaw to make sure it wasn’t dislocated. Her check confirmed, to her relief, that he wouldn’t suffer anything more than some swelling and tenderness. She let the still stunned boy go and helped him to his feet. The boy’s clouds were a shocking sunset pink, wispy from his surprise and crackling slightly at the edges. Tsuki tried to brush one away and was zapped for her troubles. The blue eyed boy touched his jaw gingerly and winced.

“Sorry,” Tsuki repeated, massaging her fist nervously. “I didn’t think that would actually work. Usually, people figure that one out and dodge! What a terrible first impression this has been, huh? Anyway. Uh, sorry about that.” The boy grimaced. “I bit my tongue.” ”Are you good?” Tsuki shifted from foot to foot. “I mean, you want to keep going?” Clouds McGee shrugged, looking a touch embarrassed. “I mean, if you are?” Tsuki shrugged and charged him. One of his clouds shot at her, getting in her face and blinding her. She dropped into a slide, sinking partway into the ground as she did. Hooking her foot around his, she flew between his legs and pulled him down before rushing back toward the orb. She was nearly there when he grabbed her foot and dropped her again, crawling frantically for the orb. Tsuki rolled to her feet and ran past the struggling cloud boy. Scooping up the orb in her arms, she bolted away from her opponent and toward the edge of the roof. His clouds rushed after her, one once again obscuring her face and the other wrapping around her legs. Stumbling slightly, Tsuki waved the cloud away from her face.

And found herself teetering on the edge of the rooftop. Tsuki glanced back at the charging, stony-faced boy, and made a decision. She had already faced fear of spaces- why not falling as well? Shuffling back slightly, she saluted him. “Thanks for the lift earlier. But I’m going down this time.”

And she stepped backward.

Orb cradled close to her chest, this time the falling felt more like flying. Wind rushed past her like a busy pedestrian, and the windows were a spinning film reel as she went down, down, down. She was little more than a shimmering thought with an orb in her arms as she went down… down…

CNRPK She hit the pavement solidly, arm absorbing most of the blow. Her intangibility helped, but not quite as much as she might’ve hoped. Her arm was definitely broken, and her heart was doing its panicked-best to escape her chest. Tsuki struggled to her feet, gingerly cradling the orb in the crook of her elbow and stumbling slightly in the washing wave of fear and exhilaration. She looked up, up towards the top of the building. There was the boy, staring down at her with alarm.

Tsuki smiled shakily. And stepped back over the finish line. @taiyuu-high-oct

Something to remember.

Round 2!: @taiyuu-high-oct The hotel chase as most of it’s idea and small happenings rightfully credited to @gravityechoes Thistle made them up originally and ily for that. Sorry I just copied most of it. Tsuki rightfully also belongs to @gravityechoes ! Moya belongs to me! I included some snip bits from @astryelle and @scoutdolphin round two’s! AT least the parts that included Moya shjasd,,, Go check em out they’re all so lovely !! fhjvasd Ah, the second round. Something that would...probably be happening often every once in a while. Buildings upon buildings of different heights, shapes, and designs lay behind these grand towering gates of Taiyuu's 'sundown zone'. And right in front of those grand gates, were a group of students with two teachers. The kids of all heights in the gym outfits, listening in. As the cloud kid, moya was listening to what the teachers were saying about what would happen in this dainty little test of theirs. As one of the students, he felt pumped! I mean, shouldn't he? With this test, a person with his quirk could be fit to easily win...As you can team up with others too! With their 'collab zone.' As this should be fit for an adrenaline rush, right?! I mean he was just looking at it in silence. Brows raised as his expression was akin to having his mouth dropped by a little. But looking around, eyes darting, it seems some of his classmates had already begun chatting with each other shortly. Things like strategies and how they could work together... He frowned ever so slightly behind the mechanical mask that was provided by the school.

Knees up to his chest as he held his crossed arms that rested upon his knees. Groaning into his arms, as he thought about that other test and this one, the last round was bad...this one might even be worse!!!! Plus everyone in the class smart enough which they all are. Already knows that moya can hold himself up just fine. He even knew this fact, so why even bother?? Especially with any of them. He sighs as he furrowed his brows, moving his face upwards on his long-sleeved arms of his gym uniform. ‘...Those ten minutes must be over by now huh..’ he though in a thoughtless state. Just his eyes above the bridge of the nose weren't touching the cloth. "...This total disaster..!" He muttered as he leaned to the right. His head touching the stall door as his head clouds turn into a blueish grey. He'll stress out more if the same thing as last time could happen!! It might and probably will! He's like a loose cannon! His quirk was a disaster and so was he! It was a disaster! As moya was currently in the restroom! Before he made a pitiful expression as he looks down at his posture. He's pitying himself. He even made up an excuse to run down here! Usually, he's stress-free himself by yelling out his problems and opinions into a cloud but...the test had to be done right outside the door-! Agh! He sulked as he bit his bottom lip and balled up his hands. The last round's conclusion made him stress out, it's been on his mind.

The buzzing was heard, "...you know. You have that mask to prevent all your worries right? 'moya.' " An almost digital yet mechanical voice resounded from the empty bathroom. It made moya furrow his brows even more. Lin. Yeah, lin...the person who resembles twin brother. Is it a coincidence? A hairstyle change? His twin he can't remember the face of, was it this guy? He clicked his tongue, looking up from his bangs and slightly glaring at the digital bee. Making it float back abit. "...ok. Now I know your 'stress' can make you like this. But you need the mask. Put it on. You want to pass right? If so then just stop being a child, you know I care. I know you care. So stop refusing it-"

"But if I do then I'd be too powerful!" He shouted in an angry sneer. Punching the stalled wall to his right. ...Silence followed as a sigh came out. "You. No one cares if you're.... powerful. And you shouldn't because if you think your stupid rule of restraining your 100 percent is going to help you, it won't. Wake up you bafoon." The bee stated in a slightly harsh but glitched tone of voice.

More silence followed. He huffed as he gripped the mask tightly. "...It's not stress. I just..." He balled up his hands as he stood in the stall, neck bent over and leaning as his wild long hair drooped down his shoulder. "I just... don't want to depend too much on this." He said quietly before raising his head and silently taking a long inhale. Exhaling as he blinked, looking up at the ceiling in slightly drooped eyes. His normal school face, usually behind a cloth mask. He exits, walking out with quiet taps. "...you know these people made it. So why would you deny it." A frowning silhouette behind a screen. Showing what was in the empty bathroom, he stated quietly in a slick tone. Seems...angry. The silent bee stated in the empty bathroom. Going back it buzzed, into the sewers it goes as it heads there. This time. Moya had strapped the mask tightly into his neck.

Going back on the list of who versus who, it seems moya was going to fight the...moon kid. Wait does he know anything other than the moon kid part? She was a new student of the other class alongside ameko right? If so then that's bound to happen. Researching wasn't the problem as it wasn't his style to just go research. See it for himself? Heck yeah! Wait no! This was a new transfer so researching was impeccable to even start to do! He pities Tsuki for just attending a test after the exam... especially on her first day. As the two stared each other down, this was what was going on in moya's head. But to the present, now here he was. Face to face with the moon girl...Well with the standing gal. He wasn't really on the ground, more on a normal cloud. When the gal blinked after a couple of times it just made him raise an eyebrow and narrow his eyes. Was there something wrong? Or is it the dust that came from the ceilings of these dirt buildings got into her eye? Not that it's his problem... as he takes a quick breath. He didn't even bother putting on the mask. Relying on such things is materialistic. ...A hidden side to the quiet cloud kid who seems to have such a powerful quirk. It was dead silence... not that moya minds.

His arms ley one his thighs, as he'd been closing his eyes in concentration and gathering the nearby lingering water vapor from the air. They gathered around his arms in a thin mist, swirling around and such and the swirls of a stormcloud started to appear. Up until a hollow cry resounded, but the moment it did, he started to make his move. With the thin mist gathering itself, faster and quicker, it would head straight for Tsuki. Almost shooting at her as the electricity pops and crackles. It's what he intended, as this would probably give him time to search for the orb and get ahead. But upon seeing Tsuki dodge by hiding behind a plush armchair, he raised both brows. This...what good reflex and quick-witted thinking. As expected, such a quick-witted transfer in taiyuu is only expected. Since the principle' entrance exam...he narrowed his eyes at the memory of his chaotic entrance exam.

Upon the cloud hitting the chair, the electricity it held was automatically shattered. Making the chair a conductor-like sponge to the electricity The thundering, booming sounds of it made moya also cover his ears. Loud noises hurt after all. But that didn't impact his mad concentration as he was without his mask. He can work on calming his stress after all, as he bit his lip. Using a hand and straining it harshly as he made a claw-like gesture with his hand. Keeping the focus on the dispersing pieces he stitched them together by balling up his trained hand that showed some of the skeletal on his hand. Able to stitch them up isn't really hard. Just have to bring back the emotion you felt when summoning it and push them together into one certain dotted spot. Though it's weakened due to its normal state is disordered. So the lightning is weaker, as he decides to send it after Tsuki again. But it was a surprise, to see it's weaponized lightning, flash through Tsuki's arm. Instead of landing the hit on Tsuki, it hit and scorched the wall behind Tsuki... More so it seems abit transparent? The awkward silence was there as he inhaled, letting the mild embarrassment take place. It didn't show up on his face but only on his head clouds as they turned a cotton candy pink. Seems like his concentration failed and the cloud disperses, as the surprise attack from Tsuki interrupted his concentration.

"Sorry it looks like I'm not all there" She stated in the wide grin. Making Moya narrow his eyes at her, lazy double lidded eyes sleeked down as he frowned. Grinning like that is making him more embarrassed... As she made her move when vaulting over the chair. Swinging and throwing the many pebbles at him and dashing towards him, he grabbed his cloud and dodged when she swung at him. But with the vase shattering and Tsuki getting hurt from it's shattered grounds, he just furrowed his brows. What even was the point of that? It reminded him of Kiru's recklessness and Lyrimon's nature. He just rolled his eyes, just before he spotted, for a few seconds, the orb. It was in the koi fish pond, with a fish just nibbling at it. Though it seems he gave it away to the enemy as his eyes flickered back to Tsuki.

Just like that, the two dashed for it just at the same time. Tsuki starting to gain the lead made moya go into alert. Having to make his cloud dash he opens a palm up where the air was wiping past it, he managed to make a medium-small cloud. Lightning, again. As he aimed it at Tsuki' back when she was pulling ahead. He still held the solemn frown even when it landed. He did pity her for having to absorb his attack, but a test is a test. And he's eager to win. As he zipped past her and scooped up the orb, heading to the stairs quickly running off on his dainty little cloud ride.

"...That should hold her off. Maybe for a while or not, it doesn't matter." He muttered to himself smirking as the area around him was in a slight semi blur, he was trying to go fast after all. If ameko saw him not going original cloud speed, she'd probably give him a ticket for speeding. He continued his way out and to his goal, sweet sweet victory was right in front of him! If he can keep up the speed he can make it!

...That was how it should be. But to his feelings of demise, there was a girl who jumped out the window yelling a battle. "How original.." He muttered under his breath at the moment he faintly heard glass breaking. But it seems something passed right through him. Making him slightly pause as he felt akin to convulsing and a bad searing flash of dizzy-o'-clock. As he ent over slightly, he looked back up when he felt that the orb wasn't with him anymore. Anxiety is rising as he looked up. The gloves of Tsuki were found, alongside the fact she was sprinting to the goal she was supposed to take the orb to-!!! He narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows as he materialized another stormcloud. Besides the other cloud that was a fiery but crackling one. It's texture and looks akin to magma leaking out of a hardened volcanic floor. Moya was gripping his head since extreme emotions able to bring out another cloud that was bothersome. Adding that stress to the feeling of Tsuki's going through him made his head spin. Migraines of repeating the same emotion cloud were the cause. He can't keep repeat and hold it together with the same emotion every time! As usual, the stormcloud one went over to block and intercept Tsuki like last time, but she detoured.

By the end of his little recovery, he lost Tsuki. Making him click his tongue and disperse the two power clouds. As he decided to float above to find his opponent. Her goal line was vacant, so she must be hiding. He even thought so! Just seeing her goal vacant gave him ease to his anxiety. He was nearing the collab zone but didn't notice. He's too busy trying to find Tsuki.

All of a sudden.

“Kemuri. I need a favor.”

He perked up in surprise, going to look at the source. He narrowed his brows and eyes.

This...

Lana. Ah, the very intimidating wait no who said anything about intimidating? Ahaha... well she’s the stoic gargoyle gal who's with the dramatic gakusa and the all-around excited ameko. The usual trio of taiyuu. ...Despite the class tests of which class is better than the other!! He raised both eyebrows as he listened to what she had to say. Besides he's gotta hurry. Tsubame-san heading straight for her goal when he's distracted is something moya doesn't want. He does feel bad though since she's quite remarkable. ..But remarkable people can deal with these things normally. He can't stay for chit chat as he pondered. So he'll try to speed this talk up. Looking around his area when speaking.

"Alright."

“Could you put cloud coverr overr the field?”

“Why?”

“I need to catch Tokei.”

He paused, but just so quickly. Time is ticking after all. He nodded. “Alright,” Moya stated as he took a hefty sigh, using the surrounding water vapor left in the air he focused on turning them into clouds. Thick but not enough to materialize and hold people. This should do. Especially to at least block his opponent' sights from going to their goal, at least for a little. ...That's to say if tsubame was still away from her goal. With Svetlana turning to moya all ear twitchy, she pointed to a tall shopfront hotel. Making him raise both eyebrows, go sharp-eyed, posture himself, and then thank her. He didn't bother saying goodbye and didn't pay attention to her going back to her field. He's sure she did the same because that's Lana.

Ah. The cover should also block Tsuki's line of sight! Since all she's got is the glowing orb and a quirk that relies on sight, this could be easy to do for a trick! He gave a small smirk at this, though it was quite naughty of him to do so. As he motioned most of the cloudy cover to go ahead and block the majority of the windows on the storefront. He'll have to thank Lana for this ingenious idea of covering the playing field-! Motioning them as he sat on his cloud abit above and outside the building, he proceeded to either. Dense it till she goes back out or dense it till she goes back out. The clouds were normal after all, so they didn't really hinder his headaches nor cause any. As he was upon his cloud. In an upper position where he can see if they exit out of the roof or emerge from the door or windows. As he's just hovering near Tsuki's goal line! The rows of many window seats on the front or left side. He's maximizing the dense cloudiness, eyes narrowing upwards as its surrounding clouds are turning into more of a shield and thick layer around the building. But he'll have to keep in mind, the clouds and denseness need to always be upheld. Keep that one solemn emotion in check, boy!

With his very proud work, he decides to head in, as he swore he spotted a figure running up the stairs from the second-floor' windows. He motions his cloud by gripping it, balling up, and making it crash headfirst into the window of the third floor. Relieved that he wasn't harmed, he went to the staircase where he saw the figure running up. Sure enough with the speed from earlier, he managed to catch up and spot Tsuki right in front of him!! As he was flying on his cloud he kept his sharp sights on Tsuki. With her laughing when he reached the barricade, he made a smirk that might've burst into a snicker. But it didn't as he kept it on the down-low as he flew right over it. ..SHe was obviously proud and in hopes, this would stop him. Sadly it didn't, and that was quite pitiful to Moya. He did hide the expression though, per usual.

The sharp turn she took and the sound of a door slam made him squint just by a bit. As he furrowed his brows as he looked to see Tsuki's hand clip through the door. Holding and hooking a sign of 'Do Not Disturb' onto the doorknob as he darted near the room. Just staring at the sign for abit he rubbed his temples, this wasn't a game of goose but it's turning into one. He let a small laugh escape as he sighed, even if he denied it this adrenaline rush he was feeling was quite fun to have. Though if she keeps up the twists and turns he's gonna have a bigger migraine. Even so, he still did a small prayer for the door. Especially about what's about to happen. He automatically threw the door open. And there to greet him was the playful words of Tsuki, alongside the fact he saw her holding a pillow up ferociously like a weapon in defense.

'Must be shielding the orb though' he thought. Tsuki showed a dismayed expression to him.

"Didn't you read the sign?" Tsuki stated in a serious manner.

This made him let out a surprised bark of laughter. He didn't mean to but is that really what you say when your opponent is back here face to face with you? And about to steal your most precious prize for victory! But a test is a test. And playtime was over, so he lifted a hand to send a cloud over. Was it to retrieve the orb? Yes, yes it was. But upon Tsuki baseballing, it to homerun moya couldn't believe his eyes. What the- he thought and before they can escape his mouth he fell over. The disturbance of one cloud dispersing mid-sentence and colliding to clip his travel cloud was something. As he blinked in a daze, he saw a fluffy white pillow come into contact. Quickly snatching it and still in a slight daze.

"Pillow fight. Me, you"

He paused. It was the confusion of course! But with Tsuki crashing out of the window and not showing her quirk out yet..he was still abit paranoid and anxious. Was she hiding it and will continue? He didn't bother learning about her before. So he obliged. Nodding his head by a millimeter he stood up and straightened himself. He didn't really have a problem with this, so he came in swinging! Tsuki's surprised cackle and energetic jumping reminded him of ameko's high-end energy exterior. Though with her added recklessness and gameplay attitude of this whole thing... it made him think of her like a dog. Making him summon a cloud of ice.

Why did he think of such disappointing things, having him grow cold? He didn't like how he connected any of the people he thought of. This was the second day and the second test after all. He'll just have to repress them. As he attached the ice-cold cloud onto his pillow, the two continued to have a pillow fight. With Tsuki's pillow growing colder, he's sure if she kept looking like she is ignoring it, then he can at least immobilize her for abit. Testing how she can handle temperatures in the meantime process too! As she backed against the wall, he got a solid hit in! Making him smile but. That expression turned upside down as he saw her go through the wall. 'Ah..her.. quirk..' He panicked. The cloud cover outside dispersed, as his eyes widened and quickly opened one of the windows from the room he was in on the same wall Tsuki fell through. He scrunched his brows down as he looked down. As he summoned one of the normal and dense ones, sending it straight spiraling down as it did. Angling down and around Tsuki as it caught her. As he was leaning out the wall in a panicked expression, calming and relieved once Tsuki was safely caught. He eased up his strained body and hung his head down for abit. Looking back at Tsuki it seems she was just dangling on the cloud.

Bringing the cloud up slowly and safely, Tsuki tumbled through the window as moya was a few feet away. Also on the floor. He was sitting with his legs to his chest. Slightly away from each other he was breathless and the terrified expression still lingered on his face. "A...Are you okay? When you fell- I almost had a heart attack. I had no idea..-" He stated in a blunder. Looking at the ground with downward angled brows he put a palm to his forehead. Watching Tsuki roll over and get to her feet, she lay a hand on her chest. Seems she was also frightened... he doesn't even know what to think of this situation as he bit his bottom lip. Before looking back up and darting his eyes to the orb in the corner, Tsuki walking into view and actually giving him the orb. He raised both brows and eyes widened by a little.

"Here."

He was. Speechless to say. He was confused too. I mean who wouldn't be? Just giving your winning ticket to your enemy isn't something easy to do. No. Usually, you just don't hand over the golden goose to your opponent. He just looked at the orb then back at Tsuki. The confusion was easily read on his face because of how he furrowed his brows in a confusing matter.

"Take it. I. uh." He tilted his head at Tsuki who started to circle a hand in the air. She seemed to have trouble with what to decide on saying. So he just waited patiently for an explanation in his sitting position.

“You didn’t have to help me. But you did. And, I appreciate that. It was just, well. Incredibly honorable. And sweet. I’m bad with words- just take it?”

He was touched. When people fall or get hurt in the action right in front of him it... makes him uncomfortable, thinking about the aftermaths. After all, they'd suffer. Both in the aftermath and during it. Nonetheless, he was touched. Making him lean into just more respect for Tsuki. But he scrunched his brows down by a little. As the concern wasn't fully evaporated after all. He could leave, but then what about the aftermath? He'd be a terrible person if Tsuki was still hurt. Alongside the fact that he'd of left her when she just gave him the golden goose. He straightened himself up and got to his feet, clouds were starting to form as he furrowed his brows in concern.

"...Are you sure you’re okay?” Worry still lingering in that solemn tone of his.

Tsuki waved a hand dismissively. “I will be. I just need a minute. It’ll give you a headstart.”

Yeah due to Tsuki he's doubting whether he should go easy and let her win or just be the same as the start of this test. He bit his lip since this was such a respectable and strong opponent. Both nice and determined. It makes him almost feel bad for going to go hard on winning. Almost. He gave a small nod before rushing out, the lightly pulsing orb was in his hands and the small hyper adrenaline rush was growing. Kind of exciting. Making him materialize a storm cloud that would follow! As he ran, he summoned a cloud after a few loud thumps going downwards! Surfing his way out and about he would find himself in the kitchen. But before he could continue Tsuki appeared! In shock and surprise, he almost dropped the orb. Giving her the time to roundhouse kick the orb out of Moya's grasp. Well, it did work, and it seems she did it with mitts?? Especially when she threw the mitts off to grab the orb and runoff through the kitchen counter. This was alarming, so grabbing what was around he quickly threw a frying pan into his cloud through it so it could clip Tsuki. Success! Though he's sorry for making her fall and clipping her again with electricity.

Snatching the orb he skittered off, booking it yeah. Did he forget he could just ride a cloud? No. In fact, he can't right now because the stormed power cloud actually sucked up all the remaining water vapor. Alongside the fact moya's abit thirsty, he can't make a cloud! Should he have been reckless when running? No. Only in a seeable extreme success for defeat, he will! But with the sudden pan he threw to hinder Tsuki, it seems it'd been there to hinder him also!! Not knowing the fact Tsuki seemed to have thrown it. Dam you frying pan! He cursed in his head, taking back the prayers he did for the items whenever chaotic scuffles happened with the item in it. As he got floored, Tsuki got away with the orb! Booking it as he disperses the storm cloud and reusing the water vapor, he managed to grab himself a normal rideable one! He chases after. But upon seeing the elevator door closing he panicked and yelled.

"Hold the door!" Moya yelled in a panic.

Seems it was too late as he halted his cloud to a stop. In disbelief, he bit his lip as he looked out the window. Inhaling for a brief moment he facepalmed. Yeah. And Tsuki must be waiting too. He decided to zoom up the staircase. I mean its faster right? So he took no time to head up to the rooftop. Minutes later he made it! Giving a brief but relaxed sigh he stepped out....well now it is not calm because there to greet him was a full-on a fist! Sending him sprawling! Reminding him of his slow reactions and how weak his strength actually was, it was all fine. As he lay there just in a daze there was a panicked voice.

“Oh my gosh, I didn’t mean to hit that hard! I am so sorry, is anything broken?”

He blinked. This sure was a day for dazing.. he swears he saw stars and everything covered in black and grey dots. Someone was holding his jaw as he squinted abruptly. 'Ah. It was Tsuki? Did she hit me? Is that what happened?' He thought in the recovering daze. But thinking about it more he, internally panicked. Embarrassment and how a woman is touching him, this wasn't supposed to happen!!! ..Not that he likes women of course. Oh no, he's not interested in them in that way. But a person of the opposite gender let alone his opponent was touching his face. It made his head clouds turn a brightly strong sunset pink. Surprise and a mixture of emotions were lingering in them. Because now he's just holding his breath in!

He gave a slight sigh of relief when Tsuki backed away. Touching his own jaw, of course, wincing even so. As his eyebrows were doing a slight dance.

"Sorry" She kept on repeating that word. "I didn't think that would actually work. Usually, people figure that one out and dodge! What a terrible first impression this has been, huh? Anyway. Uh, sorry about that."

He didn't really....... 'mind' it. Things happen and things go after all. But he grimaced, stopping his brows from continuing that dance. He tasted blood, swallowing the taste. The test...still needed. to be. continued. He reorganized his jaw, well tried to, though he winced anyway. "...I bit my tongue." He said in a semi daze, rubbing his forehead and temples.

"Are you good?" She seemed to have shifted. As he can hear it. "I mean, you want to keep on going?"

He paused, blinking before covering his face, sighing a huff. Trying to readjust his jaw again he also once again, processed what had happened. Now that he's gone over it he... he's embarrassed. Embarrassed like major embarrassed-!

Nonetheless..He gathered himself as he uncovered his face and shrugged. "...I mean if you are.?" He stood up and cracked his neck. Readjusting his shoulders he gave a solemn thumbs up. Clouds summoned behind moya, three of them in fact. As he made his stance in a ready position, so did Tsuki. Them shrugging in return and charging straight at him. Both of the clouds darted and shot at her.

With this turning into something like dodgeball, it was fun. At least for moya! As it is like dodgeball. But this time you have to watch the front and back! What a specialty! Also with it being on a storefront hotel rooftop. With Tsuki trying to dodge each flying cloud moya keeps throwing. Well, there were only two but he's juggling them and the cover. As he is making the two direct clouds come back every time and much faster as the more he concentrates the more quickly they become... Holding his head he feels like his head might burst..!! A leaking smile was appearing as the overwhelming feeling is there. And growing. He can't let Tsuki go. And he's sure he can't confuse her again because from this shop front' hotel height.. you can see the goals, at least make it out. He can't keep this up. But things took another tide as it seems the orb decided to fly to moya. In surprise and shock, he disperses the clouds he's tried so so hard to keep in contact. This... Tamashi. Tamashi must've done this he thought he subconsciously nodded his head. Before seeing Tsuki in alarm and running towards him, moya immediately jumped backward, and pacing stepped backward.

Quickly, away. He can't let her have this as he moves quickly. He neared the ledge of the building! But it seems Tsuki decided to skid against the floor and using her leg to hook her foot around his. As she flew between his legs and pulled him down before rushing back toward the orb. Making him falter unexpectedly on his chest. Closing his eyes because it was all of a sudden and he doesn't enjoy falling. Does anyone? But a cloud was there. Under him and reaching themselves as he hovered above some of the building' rooftop. But the orb wasn't there.. wait it was rolling!! The two paused and watched it fall off the ledge it went as Tsuki darted. So did moya.

Specifically, he flung himself. Going past Tsuki and spinning he, successfully launched himself off the ledge and pretty quickly. This was the only way to beat a pretty athletic opponent, as in moya's sense. You can also say he's slightly abit cocky in his ability, despite wanting to restrain it. As he spun towards another building across he managed to use the wind rushing past him, for another cloud. Having him sink into it he made a swift chop to the extending cloud and make it go after the orb. As his eyes were locked onto its glow, seems that Tsuki also dived for it. It was almost in her reach too! Before a cloud darted and stuck to it, grabbing it and flying over to moya. The orb sticking like a piece of honey! ALongside moya' weirdly angled yet rectangular cloud bed going flat like a bed, he was laying straight on his stomach now as the cloud dropped the orb to his open palms. As to get to him now, you'll have to walk over and jump off a building! His location in the slight middle of half of the field near Tsuki's goal. This made him look at the orb before looking back down at Tsuki, smirking solemnly. A rare sight for him to smirk. As it indicates him being cocky. The rest of the round ended with moya quickly making his way over to his goal. Keeping himself in the middle of the large field he and Tsuki fought in. Crossing over the line as he made his cloud drop and disperse when he crossed over his line.

"That's the end of this round! Kemuri Moya is the victor!"

Shakily sighing, moya just sat down with the orb next to him in his finished line of a goal. The migraine is getting worse... Though. This was, at least, something to remember.
