It was all ready. The tables had been laid out piled with foods of all kinds. This was a party to celebrate the coming of the new year and all the students and staff were invited. A band played rock music in the corner of the huge square in the city of Babylos. It was fantastic out tonight. A clear sky ready to accept the fireworks that were loaded and ready to be set off by magical means and certain staff members. It was going to be a wonderful celebration. Benchs with soft cushions were everywhere as well as pillows and extra cushions on the ground in the grass. It was a cool night but the place was comfortable with the torches that lit the courtyard so you could see. Booths of games and prizes to be won. Free food and drink for everyone. It was a feast and a party to celebrate the New Year.
A dance floor had been set up so those that wanted to dance and have a good time, gettin' down to the much and dancing the night away could have their fill. It was going to be a huge celebration and the staff could only hope that the kids would turn out to make it even better. Magic was indeed welcome in fact magic shows were planned throughout the evening an illusionist on hire to create some of the most spectacular things seen in some time. And so the night was ready to begin the courtyard all set for the part goers. Casual was the way to dress and you knew you would be up late. So find that person you want to share your new years kiss with and cuddle up close because the fireworks are the end of the show.
((Just post!! It's a huge party so post and post and post get to meet other members, have fun, and wait for midnight to roll around))

Well, Roy was in his usual spot at any large gathering. Alone, leaning up against a wall. He just wasn't feeling social.
He had cut his hair, and completely abandoned his Inoan Warrior's garb, instead wearing generic clothing. Nothing much. He was wearing a red t-shirt, and a pair of black jeans. His pointed ears stood out more, now, framed by his medium length red hair. For some reason, his Iron Spear was retracted, and on his belt, along with his uncle's sword being strapped to his back.
He watched the festivities, as always, not even bothering to try and join the party.
They shouldn't be forced to accept me, anyway. They're all normal. they're not "Tainted", like I am.
Letting out a laugh, he pushed his hair out of his eyes. He watched the festivities from a distance, and smiled lightly.
"At least THEY'RE having fun."

It was party time!! Her first magical New Years Eve and she couldn't wait. She figured Blacky would be here whenever he got here but she was definatly one ready to have some fun and let loose for a night so she had decided to go ahead without him. He was a big boy he could take care of himself. And so she had headed on down to the city. Phaedra Weiss really did need to just let everything go sometimes and now was one of those nights.
She was dressed to part. A short pleated denim skirt that looked really cute on her. Course many things did when you worked out as much as she did. She was a swordwoman and extremely toned all over her body. On her torso she wore a soft fuzzy wollen sweater that hugged her form and was a soft snow white color. Her red hair hung loose and down around her body her blue eyes were bright and vibrant as she stopped close to the entrance of the big square and took it all in. It was amazing and looked like it was going to be soooo much fun.
"At least THEY'RE having fun." she heard a male voice from over to her right.
She turned and looked seeing a redheaded boy with cute pointed ears and a horrible attitude. Well the boy needed a dose of Phaedra then because she was a party girl tonight and he looked like he could use some loosening up. She walked over to him her small white tennis shoes grinding against the concrete. She chuckled softly as she looked up at the taller boy.
"And so should you be. Come dance with me!" she said.
Before he could even answer, if he let her that is, she grabbed his hand in her own and litterally drug him to the dance floor. The band was playing something worth dancing to and she immediatly went to town not letting go of his hand just yet because she didn't want him to run away and sulk once more. She chuckled as she bounced, her skirt flaring and her hair bouncing. She was already having fun as she danced.
"Come on, lets have fun!" she giggled as she danced around by him waiting for him to dance with her.

"PARTY!!!"
Onira, still with that freakishly long blond hair and violet orbs, leaped off of an oddly-placed-looking pole, a good three meters (ten feet-ish) up, but the one previously standing on it descending rapidly. Ahh yes, such a beautiful night it was. Clear. Starry. And a party. Of course, last time Onira went to a party it was ultimately depressing, for it was a prom, and he had no date. But not now! Now was brilliant. There was the possibility that he was still jsut happy his birthday was the day before, but screw it! Party time!
"YAHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
The student splashed into... a pool? Yes, yet another oddly placed item at the party, but it was hard making an alchemized pool look natural. Especially when you had borrowed an amount of the water from the city's waterways.
"YEAH!"
Onira burst out of the water with arms raised high, splashing even more of the clear liquid around an amount of Arcane's students. His first clue, though, to the fact very few were happy would have had to have been the silence. Seriously! You could have heard a pin drop.
He opened his eyes, looking around with a slightly intrigued look on his face. He had expected a bit more of a reaction from everybody. Where was the cheering?!!
"ALRIGHT!"
The random voice was heard off in the distance, making Onira grin. Then, more joined in, clapping and cheering at the one who sat in the pool. Sufficed to say, one was grinning from ear to ear.
As if a champion, he raised his arms up in victory, the cheering only intensifying. It would be a good night.

"Wha? HEY! What're you doing? I can't dance!"
What is she DOING? Trying to make me humilliate myself? I can't dance at all! I'm a freaking Spellsword, not a dancer!
An exceptionaly attractive woman had grabbed him by the wrist, and forcefully tugged him to the dance floor. He could tell at the first brush of her skin agains his arm that she had a loving boyfriend, and immidiately knew a few more things about her.
He saw a familiar face in her mind, a young man he had sparred with in his first few days at the academy. He couldn't recall the young man's name. Prince? Prior?
Well, Roy was nearly on the dance floor when his eyes began to glow.
Vision time? Yes, yes it was.
Goddamnit not now! Why diddn't I wear my gloves?!
A minature dragon, possibly her familliar, was the first thing he saw. Then, everything was jumbled for a moment, as he resisted the vision.
A young man, simply walking away. Somehow he knew that this girl, who he now knew was Phaedra something, had been engaged to this man, and he had left. Three times. She had moved on, now, but the time he saw disturbed him.
He couldn't place why.
He was finaly able to break away from the vision, his eyes no longer glowing like flashlights, even thuogh she was still holding onto his hand. It seemed they were on the dance floor now.
"Ummm....fun? Alright...I'll....try, I guess."
And of course, he was speaking so quietly, he couldn't be heard over the music. He began to try and dance, trying to move with the beat of the music, and trying to ignore her hand and his seer powers.
It wasn't pretty at all. He moved akwardly, and was slightly jerky. He was red faced, and embarassed, as well. He knew that if he moved anything other than his upper body, he would step on her feet, or hurt her somehow. Not to mention the fact that he was weighed down by his weapons. Both the sword and spear weighed a combined ninety pounds.
People were starting to point and laugh at him.
Isn't this magical? I'm making both of us look stupid.

Phaedra chuckled as they began to dance. No not at him but because she was having a good time and he was at least being a good sport! She danced around with him finally letting go of his hand so they could just dance together. Pretty? Yeah she was pretty but it wasn't something she concentrated on nor worried about. She just wanted to dance, be carefree, and have fun that was all they were here for and tonight, at least for now, this boy was her date! Yes, she had a boyfriend and should Price show up that was fine he would understand he always did. She was loyal til the end and she was dedicated to the one she loved.
"See it's fun! You're doing great!" She chuckled at him as she took his hand and spun into him so her back was against his chest and then spun out again just having fun and trying to get the guy to loosen up.
That was when people started pointing and laughing. If she wasn't taken she might have just kissed him right there to see what the people here thought of that!? The Sorceror SwordMage kissing the redheaded pointy eared kid. But no she wouldn't do that dancing was one thing kissing was not even close to something she was going to do. And so when she heard them laugh, having left her own sword at home she grinned and stopped dancing in front of him.
"Let me borrow this for a second. I left mine at home." she winked.
Suddenly she grabbed his sword and she pulled it out of the sheath taking the weight of it easily showing that she was indeed used to fighting with one. She grinned as she suddenly engaged two of her favorite spells the regular fire and the nether fire. They swirled up and around his blade alternating black and orange up to the tip as the flames licked but did not alter the blade. She twirled it in her hand once letting the hilt roll over the back of her hand and back into her palm before she took her stance more strongly. With a flick of her wrist the blade soared up in the air twirling in the dark night like it's own firework before spinning back down to her where she caught it. She grinned.
"Anyone else care to laugh at my friend here? Because I don't think it's funny. In fact, I think he's rather admirable for coming out here to dance with some strange girl that just stole his sword. I think he has more balls than you, should you laugh again, it.. won't be so pretty." she smiled at them all which threw them all off because her words meant business but then there was that happy smile that was her trademark.
"Thanks for letting me borrow this." she said disengaging the spell and taking his sheath she slid it back down in it for him. "Nice sword, well balanced. There are few swords I can twirl, they need the right balance and that's hard to find." she said.
"Would you care to dance more, or shall we go play some games?!" she asked brightly.

Everyone, it seemed, stared away from Onira and shifted their attention to a couple, apparently dancing. They all began to laugh, and Onira couldn't help but get up out of the pool and see who the couple was. It took him a good ten seconds to find a place where he could actually see, which basically meant he had to push his way to the front. However, what he did see was interesting by any means. It was Phae! And... the funny guy! He had seen him some time... or had he? The hair was short but familiar in a way, and his face seemed recognizable. But still, that dancing...
As everyone hushed, Onira just bursted out, kealing over and missing both the sights and sounds of Phaedra Weiss. The laughing was both moronic and loud, most likely angering Phae to no end. But still. It was just so funny.
"AHAHAHAHAAAHA...!"
He continued laughing, after a while rolling over and beginning to wheeze. However, that itself was only temporary, Onira quickly starting back up again. It was just...so...funny!
"HAHAHAAA...!"
OOC: Short! MUAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!

Alright, I shouldn't have worried about hurting her....she's roughly.......four times as strong as I am, based on the way she's moving. That sword is easily fifty pounds.
Roy was dumbstruck, to be honest. Phaedra had grabbed his sword, which he barely knew how to use himself, and scared the hell out of the laughing idiots. They literaly ran away screaming,and then she thanked him for letting her borrow his sword? It wasn't his sword, by any right. He had liberated it from the ruins of his hometown, not a month prior to this little party.
He was feeling pretty down, mostly because he belived the destruction of the village was his fault.
But now, he was smiling. For the first time in a while. After the young men had run away, Pjaedra looked at him, and asked if he wanted to keep dancing, or go play some of the games. What do you think an akward half-elf with ninety pounds of weaponry would do?
As he took back his sword, smiling, he said, "Games sound fun, Phaedra."
then he realized what he had just blurted out. He slung his sword over his shoulder, the strap of the sheath resting comfortably once more, and ignored what he had said, hoping she would as well.
Goddamnit! Way to go, you moron. Now she's gonna call her boyfriend, and he'll kick my ass. AGAIN.
Would she believe he was REALLY a Seer, or would she take him as some kind of creepy stalker? Only time would tell.
It's times like this I wish I was human.
Then, a familliar person began to laugh. Roy had saved him from a giant bee. Roy ignored him, remembering how much pain he had caused himself last time they had met. The poor alchemist was enough of a fuckup as it was. He diddn't need to be scared by either Roy or Phaedra.

Phaedra smiled at the boy that took his sword back and put it in his sheath on his back. He suddenly called her by her name and she froze cocking a brow. No one called her Phaedra, except three people. Her father, Blacky (sometimes), and Junpei who was gone and must never be named. And so she looked at him and her blue eyes traveled up and down his body for a moment. No he didn't look like someone she had met before.
"I don't believe I gave you my name." she said looking at him curiously. "Because I rarely tell anyone my real name, only my nickname." she said as she looked at him.
"So tell me how you..."
Then she was interupted by laughing. She turned her head and her eyes narrowed at the sight of her 'brother' Onira. She sighed and rubbed her eyes. Going over to him she kicked him in the ribs. Not hard but hard enough to get his attention.
"That's cruel Onira, how could you. I always thought you were above that." She growled. She went back to Roy and took his hand firmly in her own and led him to some of the booths that had different games.
"Forgive him, he's an idiot." she said. "So what game would you like to play?"

Onira stopped laughing instantly, looking up at Phae. Uh-oh! It seemed he had screwed up... bad. He didn't like making Phae mad, let alone dissapointed, and thus gave a deep sigh. He rolled back onto his knees, then stood up, his soggy clothes kind of taking away from the feel of the apology, but still, it was enough. Was it? Oh no, Onira was second guessing himself again.
Enough of that! Apologize!
Onira coughed quickly, after the action then bowing to the two, then standing upright again. He began to speak.
"Please excuse my behavior Sir; Miss Phaedra. I do believe such a thing was uncalled for, and for that I will apologize. Please enjoy yourselves."
Onira bowed again, after doing so standing up and walking away, a big grin unseen to the two, but still on his face. An apology, but still, undoubtedly childishly, an enjoyed experience. Such an interest how even the most menial tasks could be enjoyable at just the right times. But then again, with a random enough attitude, anything could be enjoyable, right?
"Well then, what to do... I could jump off again, or better yet..."
Onira would suddenly run over to an abandoned corner of the party, instantly sliding onto his knees, a smile on his face and hands on the ground. Those palmes tattoos lit up, intensity growing but the product showing itself quickly.
A large, spiraling, turning, and otherwise stomach destroying tube, about five feet in diameter, appeared, held up by many stone pillars. On the bottom of the tube were two hoses, both taking the water in the large, basin-like end of the waterslide up to the top. At the entrance of the slide was a large step ladder, easily making the creation accessible. One problem, though.
"Ooo, wow! Maybe a bit too much, there."
Onira stood up shakily, beginning to speak suggishly.
"E... en... eh-e... eh-enj-jooooooooooooy yerselveveves..."
He fell backwards, right onto his butt. It may be turn out to be a slow night for him.

"Well....ummm.....wow, you're going to think this is weird, but I'm a Seer."
Roy completely ignored Onira's apology, as it seemed half-assed and sarcastic to him, as Phaedra took his hand. Again. Just as he was about ot explain HOW he had been able to "See" her name, and a few other things, such as the man walking away from her, which he would NOT mention to her, unless it was essential for her survival.
Screw his own life. But hey, neither of them were in danger. At all. Unless Phaedra's boyfriend happened along. But, if that happened, Roy was a fast runner. And he could fly.
Hell, he had spent all his life running, but I'm going off on a tangent, now, aren't I?
"Ummm...you might want to let go of ny hand. It's how my second sight activates itself, by touching someone. I can see someone's memories and hear things, and see things......and I can't stop it."
He let out a small sigh, and continued.
"If....if you think I'm a freak after hearing that, I'll go......I'm sorry."

Phaedra looked up at him oddly when he said that he was a seer. Sure she had heard of them but she had never met one in all her life. It was interesting to have one beside her. She wondered what he had seen. Not that she was embarassed but maybe he could be the key. The key to putting a lot of things behind her by sharing the full experiences with someone. She chuckled as he told her that if she thought he was a freak and wanted to him to leave he would.
"Well for one, you aren't a freak, you're cooler now than you were before. Two, you SO need a confident boost and I intend to give you one. Three, I think you're a nice guy that just doesn't give himself the time of day. And lastly..." she chuckled
She moved and hugged him around the waist smiling happily as she closed her eyes and just hugged him for a few minutes. She pulled back and took his hand again. She smiled at him.
"So what can you and have you seen about me?! I really wanna know. I'm not embarrassed. There are things I sometimes wish I could share with someone, so they know why I have nightmares and things. Wow.. can you control it or does it just happen?" she asked. "If so I'm sticking like glue to you all night just for fun!" she chuckled happily.

Yes party time. Thought Jason as he steppe into the area where the big new year's party was being held in the city. he was more than fairly impressed. Still being new to magic being real he found anything to do with it incedible. But there was also the fact this had the spirit of a normal party showing that at some level things were still the same. he found it comforting and it made it fairly easy for him to relax and get into the swing of things.
His hair was combed back and tied back in basic braids (Yeah he can braid his own hair) His clothing consisted of black slacks a white button down shirt which was untucked and had the top two buttons undone with a pair of shoes to match the slacks. He managed to look nice yet very relaxed and casual at the same time.
He walked around the crowed talking to people every so often and flirting here and there. he was telling a joke every now and then usually getting a good laugh or at the bery lest some hearty chuckles. Overall he felt the night was going well for him granted he was still loking around for a girl to share the midnight kiss with. But he felt that wouldn't be hard if he actually tried. But the night was young and he still had time.
He contented himself by staying over at a table with some refreshments for a while and making idel chit-chat here and there. though he was glad to meet the people he did none of the conversations lasted long and he found himself a lone for a few minutes to just relax and be just another face in the crowd.

"Confidence boost?"
A nice guy? Maybe I should give myself a little more credit for that particular trait, but I'm still a freak.
Then, as if she WANTED ihm to have another, uncontrolable vision, she hugged him. Wouldn't you know it, his eyes immediately began to glow, and he was having a vivid, poweful vision. For the duration of the vision, he would be completely unresponsive.
For one thing, he suddenly knew her last name, and that she was pregnant. The father, Junpei Taltos, had walked out as soon as she had told him. If he had been capable of moving, he would have stormed off to find this guy. But he wasn't, and he realized it would be pointless to chase after him. He had left three times before, and he knew that Junpei wouldn't be back.
He suddenly knew she called her boyfrined, Richard Price, Blacky, and that he called her Lucky. He smiled inwardly, his face in the physical world still emotionless. Price was a good man, if a little overconfident. Much better than Junpei had been.
Now, he saw her training. Working out. He suddenly knew she haddn't eaten much, and hadn't slept in days. Everything flashed for a moment, and then he saw Onira, of all people, kissing her. Junpei had seen. Even though Phaedra had assured him it hadn't meant anything, he had still left. Two friends of hers, who's names he coulnd't place, had been all that kept her alive. Somehow, he knew one of them was dead.
When she had needed Junpei most, he had abandoned her. That was all he was seeing, for some reason, so he forced his second sight to shift its focus. He diddn't get a chance, though, as she pulled back, only holding his hand, now.
His eyes ceased to glow, as he shook slightly. The vision had left him with a slight headache. Bringing his left hand up to his temple, he rubbed at it slightly, and let out a small, pained groan. He was smiling, though. He was happy, for some reason.
She asked him a few questions, and he was taken aback by the last thing she said. She would stick to him like glue? Most people avoided him like the plauge. If she haddn't had a boyfriend, and if she haddn't been WAY out of his leauge, he would have tried to make some sort of "Move". But she did, and she was.
That's not the point, here, though.
"I can't control it at all when there's a large amount of contact, such as a hug, but just holding hands, I can stop it from happening. As for what I learned......well....."
He let out a sigh, and brushed his hair out of his eyes. Still rubbing his temple, he began to speak.
"I know Junpei Taltos left you when he realized you were pregnant. I know that you are currently with Richard Price, whom you call "Blacky", and he calls you "Lucky". I know Junpei left you three times total, and one time almost killed you.........if it wasn't for two of your friends, one of which is now deceased, you may not have lived. I'm sorry if I shouldn't bring this up.........but you asked what I saw."
With a small, sad laugh, Roy added one thing:
"Also, if I ever meet him, Junpei deserves to have his ass kicked. I don't think he'll be coming back this time, though."

Phae looked up and her eyes opened wider and wider as he began to tell her just what he saw. He had seen things that she hadn't told anyone. No one knew Blacky called her Lucky or vice a versa. Few knew about the kiss and even fewer knew that she had nearly died as a result from Junpei's first abandonment. But he even knew that Junpei had left three times and this last time leaving her with child. She touched her stomach gently that was not showing at all but that was not too shocking she was only a little over a month along. She swallowed softly and nodded as she took his hand and led him over to a nearby bench so she could sit down.
"Everything you saw was true." she said as she sat down and made room so he could sit beside her.
"He's gone. Again. And this time regardless if he comes back or not, I'm through. You see, Blacky, the man I love now, I met the second time Jun left me." she said softly. "We fell in love immediatly. Spending a full day together not able to get enough of each other. He was the person that could make me eat, help me sleep, and make me happy. I hadn't been happy is so very long. It was so liberating to feel happy again, like I had when I first came to this school."
"Blacky and I had just confessed our feelings to each other then. It was a magical moment. But it was to be short lived when Junpei came back and wanted another chance. Swearing he wouldn't leave me. That he wanted to marry me, to have children, to start our lives. Everything. And I.. I left Blacky turned away from him giving Junpei that one last chance. And then on vacation I told him about the baby. And when we came home I woke up alone again. I knew why. Immediatly. But this time.. I suppose I just.. didn't care. I had never put my complete trust back into him and deep down I had known. Stupidly I had put myself back in that position." she confessed.
"It wasn't until my best friends' death. The one you sense his death. His name was Jonathan and he was the only person aside from Junpei that knew everything about me. He knew that I had fallen in love outside of Junpei. With the news of his death I went out to train and ran into Blacky. We've been together since. And though sometimes depression hits me from the love lost I had with Junpei. I'm happier now. Happier now than I have ever been I think. Richard Price is a man that brings me back out of myself."
"Oh no! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to go down on you.. I just.. wow.. sorry. I rarely get to talk about this kind of thing with anyone and I guess I just forgot. We're here to have fun. Come.. lets go game! Pick one for us." she said as she rose and pulled him up with her strong arms.
