A Certain Academy City RP

[Edzilla]

The words were lost on Will, who was still listening to the song. To him, it sounded of a erratic yet constant drum beat, before deep bass tones and a sole violin built and petered out.

Will tried his best to get out of the molten puddle of Tarmac, managing to run after her with legs covered in a viscous substance. He came to a stop, raised a hand and strained. There was a brief moment where he doubted the level uppers ability, but in moments both Garasu and the assailant were hit by a wind of uncompromising power, easily enough to knock them off their feet.

All of the trashcans, lying idle in the alley, flew to the back wall, clattering to the ground as the wind subsided. Will was as surprised as anyone, the effects were tremendous, far more than he could've expected. All of a sudden a world of new found power was opened to him, his troubles were ended.

"I'll give you another warning, stop." His voice trembled from a mix of fear and his own excitement. His hand was raised for another gust and it was shaking.

[Yuno]

Nyanko rubbed her eyes sitting up, the cat pajamas she was wearing made her somehow seem much younger. She nodded yawning, "Okay. I guess they should be able to get everything for us then. I'll just leave a note with the head resident to let them in. We can go get some furniature and groceries for the new place and go see your friend." She stood up and about 20 minutes later she was leaning over him her hair pulled up wearing a button down tank top and black skort. Her feet seemed to be occupying some very beaten clogs. She reached out as he began to shut down his computer and straightened his collar with a wry grin. She turned and caught his beanie which had floated over and pulled it down over his eyes, "Let's go, Sverre." She disappeared out the door and re-appeared several minutes later. She lifted up a tattered tote-bag.

***

Jinx didn't notice as he approached Sverre but moments later he felt someone tapping his shoulder. Turning revealed a smiling Nyanko, although she looked less than pleased to see him, "Hell again Einzberg, how are you doing today?" Her green eyes were glistening dangerously as she stepped between him and Sverre. She glanced back at Sverre as if to say is this guy a friend of your's. Then she looked back at him, "I doubt you are a friend to Haru-san. And if you are not a friend to him it is unlikely you are a friend to the Sister." She folded her arms, "I think it would be better if you turned around, before I have to give you a taste of what your little thugs got." He could see that her hostility was likely to go away, although he noted she hadn't reacted as expected, perhaps Sverre had the say in this one.

She'd backed up and was standing beside Sverre. Slowly her hand rose up to grip his arm, the grip wasn't painful, but it communicated even past Sverre's social disabilities that she didn't trust Jinx. He could barely hear her voice saying, "Unless you think there is no other way, this man is part of something very unsavory and as much as I don't like Index living with Haru, I wouldn't bring him near her ever."
__________________________

As Garasu moved she felt her phone jingle with the sound of a text message that read: It's Nyanko, I'm no longer on active duty, and I did not ever fill out a file on you. Unless the hospital forces the issue, you are off the hook as they say. Unless you need a friend or some advice, I'm no longer an active duty Judgement member.

[Kyoretsuna/Senmei]

Garasu rolled out of the way with a second to spare as the wave rippled towards her and crashed into the side of the wall she’d been clinging to moments ago. “I didn’t come here looking for a fight, but if that’s what you are after then you don’t give me much choice here.” Garasu was barely able to keep her balance, and moving around was practically impossible. She fumbled for her wallet and detached the mirror from it. It was the last reflective surface available to her so she planned to make it count. As the boy arrived on the scene she cursed under her breath. Immediately after the boy shouted at them the ground beneath Garasu’s feet stopped heaving and turned into a tar pit.

“Get out of here kid this is dangerous, this isn’t your fight don’t try to be a her*OOOF!*” Garasu’s words were cut short as for the second time in as many minutes she went flying backwards, though this time her fall was softened slightly by a set of crates she crashed into. Not much however.
“WHOS SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY, KID!?” Garasu stood back up unsteadily as she shouted this, the woman had already turned towards the newcomer. Garasu swore. it didn’t matter how strong this kid’s ability was, he was going to get himself hurt, he wasn’t even showing any discipline, he was just standing there with a big smile on his face as if it was the first time he’d ever fired a gust of wind at somebody before. Garasu wasn’t even sure if he was on her side or not, but she needed the level upper and this kid was a distraction. Garasu made her decision quickly, she wasn’t about to let her mistake get him hurt, and if he was another enemy she didn’t want to deal with him.

Garasu threw the mirror in her hand as high above the kid as she could. A moment later she appeared in the air above and behind him holding the mirror and she brought it down on his head. The moment the mirror touched him he disappeared. Garasu landed just in time to dodge a wave of erupting concrete as it plowed right through the spot he had been standing. She turned towards the woman with her hands raised in a motion of surrender; meanwhile she was actively changing the reflection in the mirror which now housed the boy piece by piece into the reflection of a window multiple blocks away. She needed time to finish changing it if she was going to deposite him in that place and it required concentration.

“Please hold your attacks for just a moment!” If she had to dodge another attack Garasu would have to release the boy from the mirror right here rather than risk the mirror being broken with him in its reflection. Garasu kept her hands raised “I’m moving him away from here, he doesn’t need to get hurt” She motioned to the mirror which now showed the confused face of the boy. With detail after detail changing in the scene behind him. “If you want a fight then ok, but let me get rid of him first. My ability is called “Mirror Query” I’m using it to shift the exit for this mirror. Just give me a moment!”

[Yuno]

The woman seemed to be in deep consideration of her options. The ground around Garasu had stopped roiling, it was simply still, she was looking up at the reflective surface and considering her options. Finally, she seemed to take the high road and simply stand with her arms folded, "Agreed. But only because his little wind trick is doing a number on my hair. A girl likes to look good no matter the things she is doing." With a dramatic fluff of her hair she began to tap her feet waiting for Garasu to signal that all was well and they could return to their fight.

ooc: (My brother is a fluffy bunny. And I mean that with all the fruit connotations attached like a big feather boa. If you would like a picture of him as a hulu girl, simply consult me in the ooc page and maybe if you say pretty please with sprinkles and a cherry, I will oblige. (Please note, he is also wearing the flowers and looks sexy.)

[Kyoretsuna/Senmei]

Garasu nodded and continued to change details in the image. “Kid, if you were trying to help me then thanks, but there’s no way I’m going to let you get hurt on my account. Stay comfortable in there for a moment while I finish moving you… If you’re hungry there’s going to be an awesome food stand literally 10 feet from where I drop you off, I get food there all the time… no hard feelings Ok?” As she continued to change details she kept talking.


When will was first jumped into the mirror all he felt was a slight sense of movement, but one that he couldn’t place the direction or speed of. Then it was as though he was standing exactly in the same place as a moment before, immediately however, the people around him disappeared and other surroundings started to change as well, it was considerably bizarre. As this continued and Garasu talked he noticed the scene changing (He didn’t hear Garasu talking on account of the level upper still playing in his earbuds). He recognized the street that was forming; it wasn’t too far from his house, only about ten blocks or so from where the fight had been. Suddenly he got the same sense of directionless motion and the scene was complete with people, and he was standing on the sidewalk with a food stand only a few feet from him.


The moment she finished the transfer Garasu let out a sigh of relief, She realized it may have been stupid to remove that boy from the picture, she was horribly mismatched against this woman beat up as she was and with the severe restrictions present on her ability. Even if the boy had been an enemy it was possible he still could have been useful, but she didn’t want to take the chance he would get hurt if he were just some boy who’d decided to play the Good Samaritan.

Garasu looked considerably nervous as she dropped into a fighting stance with the mirror firmly held in her hand, once again reflecting its surroundings. “Alright, let’s go, we need to finish this quickly… I wouldn’t be surprised if he comes back here or calls Antiskill.”

The woman didn’t hesitate, she slapped the ground and it immediately started to ripple and heave again. Garasu needed to get close enough to land a hit, preferably with her mirror if she was going to win this fight. She was prepared for the ground to change this time and used one of the waves of the ground to help her jump towards the woman and close the distance. She was not however prepared for the pillar of stone that erupted in front of her. She didn’t have a second to dodge and the pillar smashed into her flinging her backwards. She landed with a roll on the ground which had now turned soft and muddy, getting back up was a hassle and as the rock solidified around her feet with a sound like cracking ice. She tossed her mirror towards the woman, and jumped just in time to avoid the rift tearing towards where she had been. However, the tactic she had used to remove the boy didn’t work this time now that it was expected. The woman dodged the attempt to tag her, and Garasu landed next to her on the rippling ground. Garasu gained her balance quickly. At the same time as she tossed the mirror behind the woman she began to swing at her, the woman was prepared to block the swing, but Garasu wasn’t in front of her anymore, she off to her left side, and the attack landed on her chin.

For a moment Garasu thought she had the woman but as she was preparing a kick intended to finish the fight right there, the woman stomped her foot and the ground erupted right beneath Garasu’s feet. For the third time that day Garasu found herself sprawling against some surface in an alley, dazed. This time her attempt to get up didn’t get her even an inch of the ground she was mumbling to herself. “Still… not strong… not… able… enough… tried… couldn’t even...” Her mirror had landed and broken into a few pieces from her last ditch throw around two yards from her.”

[jinx]

ooc- i know you weren't at that stage yet,but i did know you were gonna go there,another thing i knew is that i probably wouldn't be able to post for a while (exams etc so i can only come online twice a day) so i did an action somewhat in the future so you guys and girls had time to play nicely anyway,role play.


Jinx looked surprised when he noticed Nyanko,he hadn't sensed her,he made a short jump backwards and summoned a helmet with a red X on it,at the same time he said "I'm not attacking,this is for defense,i was it in the movie,a man with telekinesis was neutralized because Magneto wore this helmet,this will only prevent you from digging around in my mind,if we can come to an agreement,I'll take it off."

He wasn't aware of it,but obviously a helmet from the X-Men movies would do nothing against Nyanko's power's.
With a slight smirk Jinx looked at Sverre and said,"I'll let you decided,shall i wait outside like Nyancat suggested or do you want me to come with you?"

It was a little too late that he realized it,"Wait,both of you are safe,Nyancat seems calm so Index should be fine aswell.",once he finished muttering to himself he looked at Nyanko and asked "Have you recently been in contact with Garasu? Something is wrong and since it's not either Sverre or Index,it's possible that Garasu is in trouble"

About to lose his patience,he awaited a response and hopefully Nyanko would be able to locate Garasu with her powers.

[Edzilla]

"The name is Will by the way, so you can cut the kid (please do not swear), we're about the same age as far as I can tell."

He seemed irritated, he was starting to have fun with the new powers, and she'd cut it off with her mirror.

"Anyway, Antiskill aren't really that discriminate, so I'd get out of there quickly."

Finally, he remembered something he'd heard before he got to the alley, which he recognised as her voice.

"If you wanted the Upper, your best chance has already gone." With that he exited the mirror, back into the real world, a street away from his apartment block.

He pulled out his phone, his voice the only sound in the empty street.

"Hello Academy City emergency services, what is your emergency."

Will knew the address fairly well, despite not spending much time in that area of the district.

"There's a fight, between two high levels, on Kyoto street in the Oshotagi district."

"Are you involved in this, or around the fight?"

"No, I've, gotten away from it."

"Ok, name and address please, we will send Antiskill over as soon as we can."

Will sighed, realising this meant another visit to judgment.

"Will Forrest, Room 27, Anari apartment block, Oshotagi district."

"Thank you, an officer will come and visit you."

Despairing at the thought, Will crossed the street and entered his apartment. It was time for his last meal, so he heated up some fish, and boiled some vegetables, and sat by his surface, grudgingly awaiting the knock on the door. He remembered that Nyanko was yet to respond to his text, wondering if Sverre hadn't excepted his apology. Perhaps he'd just made things worse.

[t⊗theark]

Nyanko sensed something that Sverre was feeling - familiarity. Sverre had seen Jinx twice before now. He distrusted him but he wasn't unfamiliar and Nyanko knew this. He whispered back,
"He's here for the same reason I'm here. He didn't hurt me yesterday so I don't think he'll hurt the nun." Forgetting that she didn't know, and that she didn't know because he wasn't suppose to tell anybody. He probably thought that she would laugh at him if he even mentioned magic. looked at him and said, shyly,
"Shouldn't the Index know? We can't leave her blind, even though that's the inclination considering her world view. I even brought Index some food."(ooc - Hey, I think Index may have heard that )

After the bloke stopped muttering in his odd little way, Sverre tilted his head like a curious cat,
"Who's Garasu?"

[Yuno]

As Sverre said this the door popped open to a beaming face of Index, "Sverre-chan you're back. Wonderful! And you brought food. Haru-san is out of the house, but he'll be back soon." Her eyes fell on Nyanko and the two seemed to form into a staring contest that neither seemed apt to lose, "And you brought Nyanko-sama." She folded her arms, "I guess she can come as well." Her eyes finally turned to staring at Jinx and she pointed at him, "Haru-san said you aren't to be trusted. Haru-san said you would turn up again." She reached out grabbing Nyanko's arm, "Kitty stop him. He's not a good boy."

Nyanko seemed like she was taking in a lot of information at once. Her mind was far off searching for Garasu. In a flood of emotion and images she found her. The girl was in trouble. Nyanko breathed in her concentration becoming perfect.
________________________________
Garasu saw her vision turn a magenta color with everything being outlined in fuzzy black lines. She felt her body lunging to it's feet and grabbing the shards of mirror as she went. She watched the bits of glass fly towards her attacker and suddenly spread out fanning around her. Everything seemed to move so fast that it made her head swim. Before she'd even recognized what was happening she was over the woman one hand on the ground the other raised in the perfect arch to throw a punch. The woman grinned sheepishly, "Wow, I surrender." Garasu noticed that many of the male attackers before were standing in a line. The woman under her grinned, "Apologize boys." The all bowed before her shouting loud apologies. The woman held up a MP3 player with a shaky hand, "your level upper Mirror. I suggest we all scram before anti-skill arrives.
_______________________
Nyanko came back in a snap to see Index shaking her shouting not to let Jinx come near. She turned looking at his helmet and snorted, "What nonsense. That couldn't stop me from doing anything I want. Right now you're thinking we all look like mini- dinosaurs. Sure enough, they were all raptors and t-rexes jammed into the apartment hallway." Nyanko turned back to Index, " I will not allow him to harm you or do anything to you Index-san. Might as well let him say what he wants." With that she sheparded them all inside. Jinxes vision changing back to reality.
As she moved to sit on the floor she texted back to Will, "I'll inform him, he didn't understand what was going on. He has a few mind issues that prevent him from understanding. It doesn't mean you need to put up with it, but it would be nice if you weren't so easily enraged..."

[jinx]

As Jinx snapped back to reality,he felt slight disappointment,he'd really prefer for Nyanko to be an actual dinosaur,that'd be way easier to deal with.
As he entered he started explaining exactly what he had previously explained with Sverre,Nyanko could sense that his sadness was real when he told them about the death of his sister and that his anger was close to boiling over when he mentioned the murderers.

The feeling had left him,it seemed that for now,the danger had passed,he still didn't feel exactly secure tho,but that was probably because Nyanko was peering into his mind.
As he awaited a reaction,he was prepared to flee or fight,whatever would prove the most advantageous,the thought was buried deep inside him though,he was overjoyed at how his mission was proceeding,now all he had to do was convince them to follow him,if he did that,all would be safe,something like what happened to his sister would never happen again.

[jinx]

Double post >.>

[t⊗theark]

Sverre looked up and Index, pointing at jinx and speaking as if no one was even there,
"Yeah, I needed to tell you that. I was guessing you trusted him as far as I did." He didn't look at Nyanko - he was expecting her to burst out laughing at anytime. She probably didn't even know that he could make magic work...

....oh well, he was about to demonstrate it.

---

Before this, Sverre had been looking at the binding spell really closely. Why did it not work on that girl? The spells that he had been downloading involved but one Nordic file, just by chance, and just by chance, it was a complete copy of the binding spell he had - there were copies of the saga he stole. In case he ever needed to use that spell again, he wrote the runes of 5 cards that would ordinarily be held round the target by 5 sorcerers. He learnt that the summoning circle was also intended to be around the target, not the caster - the next time he had to use this, it should work ad the target should not be able to move.

---

As he had been talking, in case things didn't go to plane, he had been using his powers, once again to arrange some dust of the rather dirty floor into that same pattern that night he tried it on Garasu. He had the 5 cards in his bag ready to go. He held them in his hand ready to go. After he explained the story, he saw that no one seemed much more trustful, although his story did touch the girls. Sverre apologized, as the cards zoomed out of his out stretched hands and surrounded him, the runes facing him and Sverre uncharacteristically courageous said,
"I'm sorry, but I need to make sure you're not here to harm us. I'll release you when to tell me who you are, who sent you, what they're motivation is, everything. Dette støvet var fra stein bundet til jorden, av dette støvet så skal du være bundet."

He flinched at the pain for but the smallest of moments as blood dripped onto his collar from his nose but he was otherwise alright. The effect was clear - he could not move from that spot. Sverre walked up to him, he looked like he cared for him,
"Why would so many distrust you?"

[Kyoretsuna/Senmei]

As Garasu regained control she just stared dumbly for a moment, with her hand raised in the air, trying to process what had just happened. As the woman handed her the mp3 player Garasu regained her senses and stood up “Uh… Thanks how do I use it?”

“You just listen to it, it’s an mp3 file. You’ll get stronger as you listen to it.” Garasu stared at the player for a moment and then gave a respectful nod. “Good fight, your strong I’m not even sure how I beat you, I probably just got lucky. Thank you for this and yeah, we should probably get out of here!” Sirens were already approaching as Garasu exited the alley way and began to make her way down the street with her hood pulled over her head. Once she was clear she checked her phone and saw the message from Nyanko. She was surprised by the contents of the message, and glad. That was one worry at least off her chest. She walked home rather than using the reflections of the city to jump there. By the time she got home she was exhausted and flopped down on the bed. She was covered in dirt and mud, and she was sore in any number of places including an unpleasant bruise on her head.

For awhile she just lay there, but then she finally let out a sigh and her muscles relaxed. She pulled out the music player and turned it on. It had just one song on it labeled “LEVEL UPPER.” She placed the earbuds in her ears, set the player to repeat, and hit play. It was a strange sounding song, not exactly unpleasant, and in some ways soothing, but it lacked any sense of progression that a normal song would have, the sounds seemed almost random. Garasu nodded off to sleep as the song played. Her phone was still set to tell her if somebody responded to her post on the net.

[Yuno]

Nyanko looked up at Sverre with surprise, but whatever it was in her that made her a good Judgement officer quickly righted this and she looked up at Jinx, "Tell us, I could rip it from your mind, but I won't unless I have to. I'm only restraining myself because of my friend here, were it up to me, I'd make you scream for what you tried to have your thugs do to me." She crossed her legs but it was clear her patience wouldn't hold for very long. She noticed Sverre's nose dripping and leaned forward over him wiping his nose with a handkerchief and giving him a *we will most certainly be discussing this later* look.

Index on the other hand look astonished by what was going on and shrank back away from everyone. "Sverre-chan, I told you not to use that, it will hurt you worse and worse. He isn't worth it. We don't even know he has dishonorable intentions yet."

[mantisstalker]

Yip's ear's shifted under his beanie as the ringing sounded again. Where was it coming from? Was that his phone? Sometimes sensitive hearing could be a real pain. But then again at times it could be a life saver. Or a meal giver. He giggled at the thought. That free pizza night was one to remember. And to think that he had heard it five blocks away! And people thought his condition was a curse!

He was snapped out of his memory of free food as the ringing kicked up again. It looked like it couldn't be helped, he would have to find the damn thing. With a look of annoyance Yip pulled his head out of the dumpster he has been rummaging through and took a step back, wincing at the sudden clang of the closing lid. "This better be good for interrupting my lunch..." He muttered as he slapped his pockets until he found his phone and pulled it out, holding it a little away from his ear to dampen the volume.

"Yello. This is Alister." He pulled a slight face at the name. He didn't like it but walking around using his pack name would be next to suicide.

"Officer Hayashi. There has been a reported esper fight in you area..."

"And you want me to stop them?" Yip cut in excitedly, his tail giving a slight wag even though it was stuffed down his jeans leg.

"No... We need to check up on a bystander..."

"Hmph. You never give me anything fun to do."

"His name is Will Forrest, lives at Anari apartment block, room 27. Do you need-?"

"No I don't need directions. I grew up in this city. You know that."

"Then please report there immediately."

"But-"

"Anti-Skill officers have already been dispatched to handle the fight. Contact the witness."

And with that the speaker simply hung up which caused Yip to bare his teeth a little in annoyance. Dispatch had started treating him like that for a while now. Apparently he wasted too much time talking. Pff what did they know. Anyway he should probably get moving now that he thought about it. Giving the bin one last sad look Yip gave a sigh and headed off in the direction of the Anari apartment block, dragging his feet to begin with but as he entered the busier parts of the city he couldn't help but smile. He didn't know what it was but all the sensations had a funny effect on him. And he knew he probably shouldn't feel that way considering what he was, and what they where. But it didn't stop him from smiling all the way to apartment block.

When he reached it it was a simple matter of bounding across the street and finding the door that had the funny squiggles that meant 27. But when he reached it instead of knocking he stood staring at the door before glancing round to make sure no one was there. When he saw no one in sight Yip quickly slid both hands under his beanie to make sure his ears where flat and couldn't be seen, before making sure his tail was well hidden as it would only bring trouble if people found out what he was. Satisfied that nothing was out of place he gave a few rapid knocks on the door before stepping back, a grin plastered to his face at the prospect of meeting new people.
