Trials of Khordom: The Beginning

[kivabunny]

"huh? jynx? who is that?" aspen looked up at the girl curiously

[Aldrea945]

Rachel alighted on a nearby chair, more than a little glad the lunch crowd had already come in.  "The stupid bat that needs to work on her grades," she said, playfully sticking out her tongue at him.
 
Kids hurried to from a variety of tables as she opened her lunch.  A small variety of fruits sat inside, and she quickly took a bite of an apple.  "So, Jynx, Vi, could you cover the last classes for me?  I'd owe you.  I want to check my mom, you know, make sure she didn't hide in the basement when she heard the chimes."

[kivabunny]

(aspen is a girl)

[Cifero Windtail]

(to reply to the first question you asked...)
"Yeah, right here," Vi said, motioning towards a seat next to Aspen.


(and now, normal time0

Jynx nodded. "Sure thing," he said. "We know how your mom gets.... and Rachel, you're seriously underestimating yourself. You're not stupid." He glanced over at Aspen. "This is Rachel, she's a friend of ours."

[kivabunny]

aspen waved and nervously shuffled her wings "um hi, i'm new here"

[Aldrea945]

Rachel smiled, nibbling a strawberry.  "Thanks.  I'd owe you."  She turned to Aspen, still smiling.  "So, where ya from?  Near the walls, inner city, mid ring...?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Vi clapped a hand over Aspen's mouth before she could reply. "Oh, she's... from around," she said quickly, giving Aspen a look that said not now.


Jynx shrugged. "Yeah... um, we'll tell you later, Rachel..."

[kivabunny]

"mmmm mmm mmmph" she pulled away "and then i met these two and we came to lunch" she looked at them "when is later? what are we doing after lunch?" her eyes lit up as a sudden thought occurred to her "where are you guys from?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Jynx sighed and looked around, then looked back at Rachel. "Well... to be honest, there's only been what's inside the wall so far," he said. "No one here really knows what's outside... but I've been looking things up in the library..."


Vi sighed. "He lives over on Ninth Street, in a pretty nice attic... considering it's the slum area," she said. "I live over in the Glens, and Rachel lives...?" The kangaroo looked over at the small bat. "Where do you live again?"

[Aldrea945]

Rachel licked her lips of strawberry juice.  "Near the military base.  The smoke keeps us bats inside the walls," she said, smiling.  "Mom and I love to fly circles around them.  It's great fun when they're training."

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Without warning, a familiar figure drops from a portal near the doors, unconscious and bleeding plasma from open wounds. The Hell Mongrel looked pretty rough with torn clothes and a broken horn, his tail missing some barbed wire in a section, though it never came unravelled. He lay still and breathing raggedly, a slight twitch coming from his hands as if trying to wake up.

[kivabunny]

aspen ran over and shielded the two of them with her wings, she stayed like that for several minutes, when she pulled away the more serious wounds were almost gone and the smaller ones were gone entirely, the only thing to show was the blood matted fur "he should be okay, someone help me move him"

[Kitane Blackfyre]

(Plasma matted fur* He has no blood )

[kivabunny]

(plasma is one of the ingredients of blood, but ok)

[Kitane Blackfyre]

(Well, he's a different type of species, so he doesn't have normal blood. And I was thinking more of lightning plasma )
