this is a small segment put together by me and my friend tonight to try to get a feel for his character better. fortunately for me i got to experience my characters with a little more depth as well since most of them are kind of new. it's written back and forth. he writes a part, i write a part with our end mark off with (*). give some feedback if you can. warning: this is long as hell is just realized. was writing this on facebook chat so it didn't seem like it was that long. click on the last spoiler. don't know where the others came from.
THIS IS THE MISSING PART OF THAT STORY
_________________________________________________________________________
"Yeah... Do you always talk this way to people you first meet?" Abby gave her a smile.
Lain tried to manage a smile as well.
"I normally don't talk with people at all. All i need is to be connected. the Cyberia. It is my friend and has no need for spoken words."
"Cyberia?" Jessica asked. "you mean the internet?" Lain shook her head.
"Cyberia is deeper than the net. it's like a special access area on the net only for experience net users like myself. it's the only place where i can communicate with people common to myself."
"I always thought its was one of those internet myths, but then again groups of hackers put a homemade satellites into orbit now. Do you ever access the the dark net?" Abby said leaning in.
"the dark net? i believe that is a place for sinister people. snuff videos. killers collaborate. and other illegal things that involve harm to other persons. Is that what you are referring to?"
Abby tilt her head and smile "Hehe, that's the average net. Dark net is when hackers wanted free and non surveyed net. Sending homemade satellites into orbit made the world countries uncomfortable so they called it the dark net and said many bad things about it. You can real good info on there but its hackers playground so go with caution." Jessica look at them both with no idea with what there saying.
"I didn't realize that there was a whole different world outside this one." Jessica said.
"I can see why. You are royalty, Jessica. Royalty are protected from outside influence and danger." Lain said. then the bell rung. everyone looked forward just as the teacher entered the room.
"Okay, class. good evening. I'm your instructor Zepher. For those of you that picked a random class just to be in one this is intro strategy. The point of this class is to exercise you minds. there will be different scenarios that you will be placed in. and there days when we will have mock battles with Instructor Corrinne's class. She thinks she's better than me at teaching her students effectively. I plan on all of us proving her wrong. any questions?"
This might not be boring like last year' Abby smiled inside.
"No questions then? least get started" It was the last words the teacher said before Abby's mind started daydreaming.
The last bell rings and everyone gets up do to leave the class.
Abby stays a little longer to stretch and is the last one out the the class. 'Man I could use a bath'
Someone pokes their head in the classroom and spots Abby.
"Excuse me, have you seen my sister, Jessica?" Abigail rose her eyebrow.
"Jessica is your sister?" it wasn't a surprise that most people find it hard to believe that the two are related. Jessica has blonde hair with fair skin and blue eyes. Her sister, Solita, has raven black hair, deathly pale skin, and blood red eyes.
"Yes, she is. did you see her?" Abigail nodded.
"She was in here last period. I don't know where she went after that." Solita sighed and pressed her fingers against the bridge of her nose.
"alright. thank you. i'll check elsewhere"
Later that night after another fight in the underground
Kittie was running to get to the dorms. she was almost there earlier when she forgot the book she was supposed to remember and had to turn back for it. now she was running back before she was late. she didn't even want to think of what would happen to her if she was. she nearly ran into Abby in the dark.
"Excuse me, i didn't-are you okay?" upon looking closer she realized who the injured person was. "Abigail what happened?"
"I fine..." Abigail posed like a magical girl out of an anime before she coughs out a little blood "*Cough*... well, no... I'm not... if its not to much to ask. hehe.." Abby grabs her stomach
Kittie caught Abigail and helped walk her to a nearby bench. "What am i gonna do? you can't move and i don't have a cellphone."
"I have one." the voice behind Kittie made her jump. when she spun around she saw it was Lain. "but what would we explain to the ambulance when they picked her up? We can't tell them anything." Kittie knew by Lain's words that she understood the underground war.
"My friends can take her. I was on my way over there anyway." Lain looked at Abigail with the same expressionless face.
"then we better hurry. Abigail is losing consciousness."
when Abby woke up she could here voices. she opened her eyes to be looking at a woman almost face to face. Abby hadn't remember seeing the woman before.
"It look like she's awake. You are very lucky that Kittie and Lain came across you first. do you know how much trouble you would have caused this academy if anyone that didn't know about the feud found you?"
"Eve, calm down, please." that voice belonged to Kittie. Eve let out a breath. "So what happened?"
Abigail yawned and stretched "I got cocky and let myself get hit by a Juggernaut to many times" Abby looks for her glasses and Eve hands them over "Thanks. Damn these types their to common. Hey Kittie can you check my left eye if its still green?"
"why wouldn't it be green?" Cassandra stepped up.
"The girl is obviously cracked. We patched her up so she can go now can't she?"
"Cause if it wasn't I'll start making monsters" she stood up looked around to see the room not sure what to think. "what do you want to go in such a rush?"
"it doesn't concern you." Ambeon stepped from out of the kitchen area. "But you have delayed us. if you were crazy enough to go fight on your own surely you didn't expect any help afterwards did you? we aren't goody goody heroic people. we look after our own. you don't belong to anyone do you?" Lain shot a glare at Ambeon.
"I think that's enough. I will escort her home. i'm sorry to have bothered you." Eve closed the door before Lain and Abby could get to it with a kind smile on her face.
"You don't need to go at this time of night. they can say what they want but i make the decisions in the end. i saw you can stay and that is final. that is if you want to."
"Eve, you can't be serious!" Ambeon said.
"i have spoken, Ambeon."
"then what about tonight?"
"It has already been pushed back too far. it will have to wait another night." Ambeon angrily went to the door and left. Cassandra followed behind. there was silence for a while. Eve turned back to Lain and Abby. "It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. Kittie, I'm going to bed." Eve left to her room. Eve's dorm was more like an apartment than an actual dorm room. but she was an honor student so it wasn't surprising to see her having this room either.
"*sigh*Well first say I'm thank you guys for helping me there I'm really embarrassed and I'm really sorry for whatever i delayed" Abby sat next to Lain and goes through her bag. "Not A problem" said Kittie
"But what is this group you guys keep talking about"
Kittie shifted uneasily. "W-well. We're all witches. once a month we try summoning this powerful force called Ergon. We don't know exactly what it is but we experienced it once. Or rather Ambeon did. That's why everyone is easily upset. we've been getting closer and closer and this time it seemed like we were really gonna do it! but then this happened. Last time i forgot the spell book. But don't tell anyone i told you this! Eve's in the shower so that's why i told you just now."
"Witches? This is too cool. Lain are you witch, too?" Abby said with face like a kid in a candy store but this candy was Lain and her face back up.
"Sorry but no i'm not a witch. I'm what they call a manipulator." Kittie smiled. "You like witches Abby? why is that?"
"I find anyone with powers thats not my enemy .And what's a manipulator?" Abby moves closer to Lain at near kissing level. Lain backs up.
"um-Manipulators are a group of people that can control one or more elements. whether it be ice, wind, fire, etc. mine is lightning and electricity. one of the most dangerous for manipulators to control." Lain sits down on a nearby chair. She has never spoken to people so much let alone being close to someone. She found herself blushing but quickly suppressed it. "I also hear that there is an exceptional witch at Ancora. If the rumors are true she will be a threat to any of your summonings happening successfully."
"Then we will have to take the witch out." Eve walked back into the room in a bathrobe, drying her wet hair with a towel.
"but you don't even know if the witch is male or female. and most importantly you don't know what kind of witch this person is or what art they use."
"This so exacting! Maybe I can help." Abigail crosses her legs and pulls out a stick of metal and bites it.
"There's not much we can do." Lain said. "we can't just guess at who's a witch at the school and exactly the one we're looking for even less. What are you planning to do with this Ergon if you were able to summon it?"
"the first we came across it Ambeon was given a power from it or an awakening to her potential. Ambeon isn't a witch but a Necromancer." Eve explained. Lain stood up.
"Do those even exist anymore?"
"Apparently. Ambeon is one. the school is really trying to get her to hone her abilities because she would be a deadly ally."
"Then why don't you go ahead with the summoning. this would surely lure the witch out wouldn't it? we will just have to keep out watch for her." Eve thought about it for a moment then nodded. if we have the two of you helping then it might work. for now we shall rest and talk about this at another time. I am going to sleep." with that Eve turned around and went to her room again.
"i'm getting tired too." Kittie said. "You can stay here if you like."
Abigail stood up slowly "No, I'm good... ow.. you know what.. staying is a good idea." she sat back down. The stick of metal is now a colm and starts brushing her hair "Thanks again for everything"
Abby lays down and remembers something "oh Kittie, Lain come here" they walk to her and she hugs them both "Thanks friends"
"No need to thank me. i'm glad that you're okay." Kittie said. Lain was speechless. she was having to adapt quickly to affection that she wasn't used to. "Lain, are you staying as well?"
"Come stay, the more the merrier."Abby grabs her hand and Kittie knew Lain wasn't going to leave cause of Abigail's infamous hand grabs.
"I-i guess it's fine. tomorrow is block 2 of classes. it's going to be like the first day of school all over again."
Abby gives off a sweet smile that makes Lain blush again but she looks away to hide it "Yay its like a slumber party...ow"
"Umm, A-Abigail... C-can you let go of my hand?" Lain said with her other hand over mouth.
"Oh, hehe yeah"
Abby had a surprised look on her face. Kittie had a feeling something was going on. She smile "While guys settle in I'm go get some blankets." she quickly leaves the room.
"So a manipulator, huh? Whats your history?" Abby bites her lip while lays down hugging a pillow.
Lain stayed quiet for a while. "I don't really like to think back on it. My ability is curse as well. I don't normally show anyone this but..." Lain slowly unbuttoned her shirt. her face seemed to grow more red with every button that was undone. Abigail instantly noticed something that resembled a black tattoo on the left side of Lain's chest. "This is what gives me my abilities. without this i can't use electricity to my advantage. i would take it just like any other human being." Lain hurriedly started to button her shirt back up.
Abby's face lit up with fascination "Wow, that's cool. Do you generate electricity or acuatly manipulate lightning?" She place slowly placed her hand on Lain's tattoo
Abigail's hand got that familiar feeling of needles tickling the skin. Lain instinctively jumped back. She hoped Abigail didn't feel her intensified heart beat as well. *These feelings. there are too many emotions at once. And i don't recognize half of them. Is she doing this on purpose?* Lain shook her head. "I manipulate lightning but it seems like I can generate it as well. i take electricity from even the tiniest source. Even if that is from my body or someone else's. the greater the source the greater the electricity i generate but that's a given."
Abby put her hand down and feels her heart beat really hard '*What this..feeling?*' Abigail sat up and grab the metal brush she made earlier "That really nice. I've been reading rumors and conspiracy on the net that the Director of some new mercenary program in America was very powerful lighting user. People with powers are appearing more and world governments are hiding them. Well thats rumor. But its my turn to tell you what I can do." Abigail broke the brush and seconds later she made a snowflake, then a scalpel and finally a bracelet.
