Calligripho
Calligripho chuckled, flipping his book to another page and showing them a picture. “See, a squid is a creature of the sea with ten arms that shoots ink. But I understand. Our city is a port, and so I know much of the ocean monsters. Why, we have peasants five leagues inland that don’t know what a ‘fish’ is! I do understand that your inky markings are magic. In our world, our wizards use gems to perform magic, but I see your method is at least more cost effective.”
@calyhuge @euodia-vision @whalekeeper @freedomwriter76 are your charries still there? Maybe they should bust in or something
Lois
“Yeah, well my markings aren’t magic, but yes, it’s like your rocks.” He glanced away and adjusted his glasses.
Felicity finished off her Cheetos and tossed the crumpled plastic bag onto the floor.
“So we have magic, book boy here has magic, and you certainly have…” she eyed Marcel’s pastel wings. “…something.”
Then she looked at Riya and Tirion. “How about you two?”

Everyone, fyi, I’m going to be gone for two weeks (to England and Wales), and I’m sorry but I don’t have much faith in the speed of this RP. I predict that the conversation will still be going on when I return. Calligripho can just nod along, or vanish (whichever y’all prefer). “See” y’all in two weeks!
Seb update ❤️ If anyone wants to interact with him, feel free. I feel like he’s been in his own little bubble since band practice.
Sebastian
Seb lay on his stomach on his desk, a shiny new phone clutched in front of his nose. He waved one arm wildly over his head, as he almost rolled off onto the floor. “You NEVER tell me things. Seriously. When did she get here??”
His best friend smiled darkly through the screen, as it twinkled in the nearby sunlight. “I thought you’d like to be surprised for once.”
“I casually reference my first birthday party,” Seb said quickly.
“Oh no no no no no, we don’t surprise the control freak. We humor him.” Hugo propped the phone up on his end, inspected it for a moment, then stood back in his kitchen, with a questioning look. “Good? Okay. Our little friend is only going to be there for a week, for publicity shots and stuff. She’s not actually enrolled, unsurprisingly.”
Seb balanced his chin on his fist. His head bobbed up and down as he talked. “I surmised as much. It’s the actual reality of the situation that caught me off guard.”
Hugo blinked his eyelashes. “She catches you off guard.”
“In act-“
“Don’t try to blanket your fall, Seb. It’s not like she’s going to interact with you. You know that, right?” Hugo had a bowl and wooden spoon is his hands, folding a huge lump of cream.
Seb took a deep breath. Then blew it into the phone as loudly as he could, satisfied when the other boy gave an infinitesimal shake of the head. “Both of us have decided to never go through heartbreak before the age of sixteen. It was a mutual understanding. Simping isn’t my style, and it isn’t hers.”
Hugo burst into laughter and shoved his spoon at Seb’s face, cream and chocolate splotching the screen. “You’re lying through your teeth, child!”
“No I’m not.” Seb bristled.
“Listen, bud. Turn the screen off and look at yourself.”
Seb hesitated, then switched the phone off and slid down into his seat.
His confused face shone back up at him. It took him a second to realize he looked as if he were about to cry.
His cheeks glowed a rosy pink, and he roughly shoved the phone into his bag. Averting his face, he hopped off the desk and out into the hall, towards his locker.
This was not the kind of emotional vulnerability he needed right now.
And it wasn’t just about the crush. It was so much more than that.
Only two people in the whole world cared for all of him, under the pointless whims and performances, with a beautiful, raw awesomeness Seb totally clicked with. Didn’t it make sense to panic when one of them made a promise to avoid him, held to it for a whole year, and then suddenly reappeared, with no clear feelings?
“Everything is a mountain”
@whalekeeper wow, what’s up with Seb?
I can have one of my charries go say hi if you’d like. They’re not doing much right now.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
He hasn’t seen his friend Everest in a long time, and she just showed up in the school, so he’s a little overwhelmed 😂
Ofc! We’d need a reason for them to stick together for a conversation, though. Any ideas?

I was RPing here for a bit way earlier but I left. Is it too late to jump back in?
@calyhuge @loopylin @whalekeeper @freedomwriter76 – yes freedom, Erich and Riker need to bust in soon. XD
Oh geez, i just kinda went wild and added a lot of unneeded crap, but here you go!
Tirion
“How about you two?” Felicity asked, turning to Riya and Tirion.
“Uh,” Tirion paused, watching everyone turn to look at him and Riya with eyes full of curiosity.
“We don’t have magic, magic. Well, I mean, we some of our people have special abilities, but not magic. But I guess you guys might call it magic, but-”
“Oh gosh Tirion, just spit out whatever it is you’re trying to say!” Riya burst out, jumping up from the seat she was in. In her sudden burst of movement, she accidentally knocked over Tirion’s pudding cup swiped during the cafeteria heist.
“Oh yeah, sorry. Okay, what I was trying to say is-”
The sound of pudding plopping on the floor caused Tirion to pause. His eyes lowered to the brown mush pile below him.
“Aw man, my pudding,”
With a roll of her eyes, Riya continued where her friend had left off, “What Tirion is trying to say is we personally don’t have magic, but there are some in our world that have been gifted with the ability to control different elements of nature. They can’t create their element, they can only wield what’s already around them.”
Tirion jumped in, listing off the different elements with his fingers, “Yeah, there’s water, plants, weather, fire, earth, animals, but for animals, they can’t control them, they’re just able to communicate with them.”
“And then, the rarest of the elements is time. No one’s ever seen a time elemental, they are only spoken of in legend.” Riya said, “The Ekkolians, that’s what we call all who Elroi, our Creator, blessed, are very uncommon, and those that are gifted tend to keep their powers a secret in order to avoid capture by our enemies.”
Riya looked up at their companions, her face reddened as she realized she had spoken more than she intended.
“So that’s our magic.” Tirion finished with a grin.
I rolled the log over and underneath was a tiny little stick and I was like, "That log had a child

@euodia-vision @loopylin @whalekeeper @calyhuge Alright, time for two of my boys to bust into this room XD
Riker
“Alright,” Erich stood, “time to figure out what’s going on in there.”
“Erich, wait!” Riker cried, reaching for his friend’s arm, but Erich had already grabbed the doorknob.
Erich twisted the knob, and Riker, with his hand on Erich’s arm, tumbled forward.
Both teens tumbled into the room.
@whalekeeper @freedomwriter76 @euodia-vision @calyhuge
Lois
“So that’s our magic.”
“Sounds like magic to me.” Felicity shrugged.
Speaking with animals. Lois thought. What would that look like? He pulled out a pen and began absentmindedly drawing an open-mouthed fox on his palm.
“Erich, wait!”
Lois jumped in surprise and accidentally stabbed himself with his pen as two boys tumbled into the room. The boys looked up at them from the floor. One of them smiled apologetically.
There was a moment of silence before Felicity thew her head back and laughed. “Clearly this classroom isn’t as secure as we thought it was. Here, newbies, have some snacks.”
A bag of potato chips smacked a boy in the face.

Wow this rp has just died without Caly
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle
@sarafini I’m sure it’s totally fine if you jump back in, even though I don’t know what your characters are doing rn
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle
I REFUSE to let this RP die 😡❤️
Writers have had waaay too much fun on it, plus, there’s going to be a dance eventually, once writers return.
I won’t allow this.
“Everything is a mountain”
Do you think we need a villain? With Edrich and Aramis temporarily out, it just slowed automatically.
Because I have villains that could work as bullies.
“Everything is a mountain”
Ooooo a dance?!? Imma have to add my alien characters sometime to they can be in that. Wait, do the characters have to ask others to go to the dance with them?? That’d be so funn
Yeah a villain sounds fun. I’ve never met a whaley villain. I want some conflict. >:)
