Well, it was rather odd for Roy to actually have someone sit and confirm his vision, along with making a place for him to sit as well. She had also touched her stomach lightly, confirming that she was pregnant before she spoke.
He smiled softly. She was a kind person, and she deserved to be happy. When she said how happy she was with Price, he smiled.
And then she was apologizing? that wasn't right. Roy was the burden here, not her. She hefted him back to his feet, and due to how light he was, it wasn't really hefting him, and he spoke.
"Hey, don't be sorry. Sometimes you just need to talk about it, get it off your chest. As for the games.....I'm not really familliar with human carnival games. I was always chased away from human towns and cities. I've never actually seen anything like this in my life. The reason I was standing over there was that I was a bit overwhelmed, really. I was also slightly afraid of being chased away, but that's pretty stupid, considering that this is Babylos."
He let out a nervous laugh, looking over at the games. They seemed so strange to him.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know what any of the games are. I was just sorta......cut off from the rest of the world, y'know?"

"Well, for starters, watch out for the crane games. You think they're rigged back home? You should see how MAGIC carnies fix their games!"
Price, with a smirk, appeared seemingly out of nowhere, having come in on his own time and, not seeing anyone he either knew or cared much about, had gone on to the games area, surveying all the different games available to play. Back on earth, he was a big fan of such games, using his highly-tuned reaction time and sharp eye to win even when winning was hard to do normally. As such, Price, with a grin, held up two fistfulls chock full of strips of tickets.
"Of course, not even the cheat Mages can stop me. Naturally. These are for you..." Price gave one hand of tickets to Phae, "and these are for you... with the ears," Price said, grinning, proving he'd not forgotten Roy from all those months back, and handed the strip to Roy. They were both easily in the 200 ticket mark, and would be a good starting point for any future gaming of the night for both of them.
With his hands free, Price was able to wrap his arms around Phae from the side, giving her a quick peck on the cheek, as he wasn't much for unnecessary public displays of affection. One arm came up from the hug, and pointed to the Whack-A-Mole game. "Try that one, actually. It's fun and a good way to let out some agression." He said to Roy.
Turning back to Phae, he grinned. "Looks like you got here after all... AND found another date, I see? You really took a step down from me, babe." He grinned and turned to Roy, winking at him, letting him know that he was only playing around. The night was just getting in full swing, and if they were gonna have a party, then Price was ready to Party.

In all the noise and festivities there was one bout of silence. A small blonde headed violet blue eyed girl entered the scene. She was rather timid as she skirted around the side lines. She had not really wanted to come. After all a New Years party was not really the place for a young sixteen year old pregnate girl. A shy and quiet girl at that. But the truth was unless you really paid attention the way she was dressed really hid the way she was pregnate. She wore a sky blue maternity shirt that fit her nicely. As well as a pair of blue jeans her blonde hair was long and even up in it's pony tail, like now, fell down to her hips.
But she had come to see if she could perhaps meet someone. A new friend. As it was her husband had died just over a month ago and she had exactly three friends now. Speaking of her friends she saw one of them with a redheaded boy. Phaedra Weiss, her husbands best friend, and was the only person that had probably taken the death of her husband as harshly as she had. And so the silent girl entered the scene but stayed to the side her hands clasped together in front of her as she walked around silently letting her eyes take in all the festivities. Wondering if she would do anything while here or if she would just go back to her dorm and watch it from afar instead.

Jason looked around and saw a girl seemingly off to the side and by herself. She seemed a little down but not truly depressed. Jason being a guy liking to see others having a good time felt the urge to go say hi and see if he could at the very least put a smile on her face. After all what kinda of party would be any fun for someone if they wern't in the party mood?
He made his way through the crowd rather gracefully and eventually reached Madelyn adn then spoe up giving a big smile and a small wave in greeting. "Hey there. you a little down for such a fun event. Want a little company perhapes? Someome to talk with at the least. I'm always good for a word." he said in a cheerful vioce. not overly cheerful just the kind that showed that he was trying to lift a person's spirits and help them have a fun time. "By the way. I'm Jason. What's your name?" He aksed

Phaedra and Roy stood and began walking around a bit in the game area. She was having fun with him. It wasn't a date or anything it was merely just having fun with each other. She chuckled as he said not to appologize and she nodded tucking her hair behind her ears as they walked. She let go of his hand and placed her hands behind her back as they walked and Roy began to say that he had never played games before explaining a bit about his past and how he didn't know how to play the games that were available today.
"Well that's horrible, tonight we will play then, so you can see."
Suddenly she squealed. Why? Because the very man she loved had come up behind them and she spun smiling as brightly as anyone had ever seen. He handed her a handful of tickets before handing Roy one as well. Wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek she smiled and jumped up hugging him back kissing his lips in a quick peck.
"Thank you! Oh honey, I missed you today." she chuckled as she stayed close to him. His arm still around her waist. "Rich, this is Roy. Roy this is Richard.. or well you already know I call him Blacky huh?" she chuckled.
"Lets go play that game. I want to see Roy play." she chuckled as she stuck to Blacky like glue the way she lit up being around him proved it. She was not only in love but in the presence of Blacky she was indeed happy.

Lucian sighed a little as he wandered around the courtyard of the Academy. It was a beautiful evening and on top of that it was New Year's Eve. He was dressed in his usual blank tank top and jeans, in the dark his rune tattoos glowed dimly with mana as he wandered around a little. On top of it being a beautiful evening, the Academy staff had taken it on themselves to throw a party for the students to celebrate the New Year. Despite being usually not the party-going type Lucian was actually in a pretty good mood. He even smiled a little as he made his way through the crowd of happy party-going students. Sliding his hands into his pockets he made his way across the courtyard, it was going to be a New Year soon he was going to have to make some New Year's resolutions. One of those was to talk to Madelyn and let her know how he felt.
He sighed a little as he thought of Madelyn, the adorable little blonde girl who had quite literally stumbled into his life one day. Even though she rarely talked she had managed to break down every barrier he had and get right to his core. That first day they talked over cookies, he would never forget that day as long as he lived. That was the day he had made his first friend, and the girl he would grow to love.
As he made his way across the courtyard, he saw her. Shy as always, but she looked so cute even though she was standing on the outskirts of the party pretty much. He felt a twinge of sadness for her, she was such a sweet, understanding, caring young girl and yet she had few friends. If only more people knew what a special girl she was, she should have had tons of friends. But Lucian was proud to be counted among the few that could be considered her friends. The next sight he saw made him perk up a little though, a blonde haired boy approached her and was talking to her. He also felt a twinge of jealousy which made him angry at himself, why should he be jealous of her being happy and getting another friend?
Regardless he approached the two with a faint smile, "Hello there Madelyn," he said softly in his thickly accented voice as he hugged the young pregnant girl, "It's good to see you as always," he said with an actual smile this time as he looked down at her. Then he looked up at the boy, "Nice to meet you, I am Lucian Dragomir," he said sticking his hand out to him in a friendly handshake.

It appeared a small crowd was gathering around Phaedra. Roy was alright around small groups of humans, but more than two or three made him nervous. He was starting to shake slightly, as he took the tickets from Price, and trying his best to act normal around so many humans at once.
"Thanks, Price. Been a while, hasn't it? And it's still Roy, not "You with the ears."
Roy's words were accompanied by a friendly smirk. the smirk, of course, was shoddy acting at best. He was nervous. Three more people were in VERY close proximity, and the young half-elf counted five humans in the near vicinity. The young woman, he gauged her age at no older than seventeen, possibly fifteen or sixteen, diddn't seem a threat, and he had met Lucian before, but diddn't trust him at all.
Then there was the boy with the blonde hair. Completely unfamilliar. But Roy diddn't want to make Phaedra or Price feel like he hated THEM. They were perhaps his only human friends, as he already considered them friends, even though he barely knew them.
Roy walked up to the Whack-a-Mole game, quietly contemplating what to do if he was attacked, when he ralized how odd it sounded. When he began to play, it was rather odd. The goal was to hit the little moles as they popped up, and Roy did. His reflexes were finely honed, after years and years of training, allowed him to hit every one of the moles that popped up.
Would you look at that? Kid's a natural! Have a prize, and go away! Let someone who will lose play, eh? HA HA HA! I'm only joking, kid, don't give me that look.
The man handed him a huge......PINK........teddy bear.
"Great...thanks. It matches my sword.", Roy said sarcasticly, as he walked nervously back to te growing group of humans, carrying the five foot tall pink bear, looking rather akward.
"Anyone want this thing? I think it clashes with my sword."
Roy's smirk and sarcastic tone told them he was joking, as he looked to Price, and said, "You want it, Price?"

(I'm going to slightly godmod all those in the nearest vicinity who aren't Roy, including Phae. It's slight and just helps to move the point along. Thank you.)
Price raised an eyebrow at Roy, who had walked back with a giant teddy bear, and tried to offer it to Price.
Not to mention, this bear was extremely pink.
Price kinda stared at Roy for a moment, judging that cocky little look in his eye, and that smirk that rivaled some of Price's own. It was obvious, even if only in jest, that Roy was trying to emasculate Price. Richard Price, the studliest guy in all of Arcane Academy, or at least in his mind anyway, was being put on the stand by some little half-elf? It was unthinkable.
Matching Roy smirk-for-smirk, Price shot back, not answering his question, but biting back with a little quip of his own. "By the way, what happened to your hair? Did your ears eat it all?"
Price stood there with a confident look, proud of himself for shooting an insult right back at the affronting Roy Atenwood. Much to his dismay, however, no one seemed to laugh. In fact, everyone in the immediate vicinity just kinda looked at him funny. It was clear that his joke did not take.
Scowling with embarrassment, Price was left with no choice. "Gimme that damn bear," he said, swiping it from the elven boy, and holding it tight, still scowling.

Phaedra jumped up and down and clapped her hands as Roy returned with practically the biggest bear she had ever seen in her life. And it was pink! Her most favorite color. But instead of giving it to her Roy decided to give it to Price and she smirked. Well it was as good as hers anyway. But when Price called out Roy on his ears she just sighed. Looking at Roy with one of those 'I appologize for him' kind of looks she looked up at Price and gave him one of those 'do that again and we're leaving' kind of looks.
But Roy gave the bear to Price and at the end when not one damn person found his joke funny including his girlfriend he just took the bear. She looked up at Price and smiled as she pulled him down into a deep soft kiss holding him by his shirt down and then she broke it right before it could get to the french kissing part and she gave him that puppy dog face look her head tilted slightly to the side.
"Honey? do you loooove me? Would you give me that nice pink teddy for our room? Can't you see me all cuddled up with it while you're working on things. I'd be awfully cute." she said as she looked up at him.
"Pwease Blacky. Pwetty Pwease?" she asked as she snuggled up with the bear in his arms and looked up at him. You just couldn't deny a cute face like that. Could you? No. NOOOO you couldn't.

Madelyn startled as suddenly some blonde boy she had never seen in her life came to her. His hair was long like a girls and it was very fine. He seemed to be a very nice boy but that was the problem. He was a boy and she was still not used to males. Though two of her three friends were males they had worked darn hard to get there and it was not an easy place to achieve. She gasped and backed off a little as he was a bit too close for comfort. She looked at him and swallowed as he began to bombard the silent little girl with questions.
He asked if she would like some company and she shrugged softly. She supposed she would like company but she hadn't really given it much thought. He then asked her name and she was just reaching down to the little satchel that always rested on her hip right next to the flute case that always hung there when she heard her name. She gasped and her eyes lit up brightly like Christmas lights on a tree. the accent. She knew just who it was and she spun and hugged him tightly nuzzling into his chest. Her best friend in the entire world was here.
She jumped up and down as she broke the hug and she pointed happily to the game center. She had never been to a carnival before much less to a magical one and she wanted to have a good time and now she could. Lucian was here and this new boy could come too. She was just wary. Lucian had long ago proven that he wouldn't hurt her like her uncle had but this new boy remained to be seen. She tugged on his shirt and begged him with her eyes to help her play some games.
Lucian was one of the few. The two that could read her eyes. Phae was good too but not like Jonathan had been and not like Lucian was. Lucian knew how to read exactly what she was saying and she never had to say a word not that she did anyway it was rare if at all.

Jason turned hearing someone speak a name. From the girl's reaction it seemed clear that her name was Madelyn and that the two of them were good friends. "Hey there." he said giving a small wave at the guy who just showed up but it seemed clear the focus was shifted from him very quickly.
Unlike alot of people he didn't mind much. he goal had been to see the girl be in a slightly better mood which she was obviously in and it seemed she wanted to go with her friend somewhere else. If Jason had already known her and had been dissmissed like that he'd feel a bit insult3d. but he didn't know either of them so he wasn;t about to intrude on them having a good time.
He went back into the crowd to simply mingle with people and talk for a bit and just get lost in the fun that was going on.

Lucian could not help but smile brightly as the small young girl spun around excitedly and hugged him tightly. He and Madelyn seemed to have been getting closer over the past few days and Lucian was glad. Lucian wanted to be close to the young girl because if he could not be with her than he wanted to at least be as close to her as a friend could get. He sighed inwardly, he cared for the girl a great deal, but he did not want to dishonor the memory of her husband. He knew she cared such a great deal for Jonathan and Lucian did not feel that he would be able to live up to her memory of Jonathan.
But there was no time to think of such sad things, this was a party, it was an occasion to be happy and have fun. So he smiled and he had a reason too as Madelyn jumped up and down excitedly, pointing to the game center with a hopeful smile as she tugged on his sleeve. He smiled and nodded and then looked up at Jason to see if he wanted to join them but the blonde haired boy was gone, having disappeared into the crowd. Well that was okay with Lucian that just meant he was able to spend more personal time with Madelyn. He smiled and took her hand, leading her to the ticket booth so that he could purchase the tickets necessary to play games.
After buying enough tickets to last them all night squeezed her hand and smiled as he lead her down through the games area of the carnival. He smiled a little at all the booth workers calling out challenges to the passer-bys. Lucian could only shake his head a little as he listened to their attempts to goad people into playing the games.
“Step right up sir, prove your strength,” one working a strength tester called out.
“Win your girlfriend a prize, only three tickets!” another called as they passed by.
That one actually got Lucian’s attention not because Madelyn was his girlfriend but because he did actually want to win her a prize. It would be a nice little token of his friendship, something she could remember this night by. So with that sentiment in mind he made his way over to that caller’s both and paid the necessary tickets to play the game. It was a rather simple concept, he got three balls and there was a pyramid of milk cans. The object was to knock down all the cans with the three balls, the less tries he took to knock down all the cans the bigger the prize he got. He grinned, a fairly simple challenge and so with a smirk he tossed the ball up a few times to get a feel for its weight. After that he hurled the ball forward and it crashed into the cans sending them toppling to the ground as the man cried out, “WINNER, WE HAVE A WINNER!!” Lucian could only chuckle as the man handed him an enormous pink elephant.
He smiled down at Madelyn and without saying a word he handed her the elephant. As he handed it to her he could not help but laugh a little at the sight of the small thin blonde girl holding that giant pink elephant. It was certainly an adorable sight and one he would not forget for a while that was most certainly assured. He grinned as he looked down at her and he tapped his chin thoughtfully, they’d have to find a booth that gave out wagons or something as a prize because at the rate he was going neither of them would be able to win all the prizes he was going to win for her.

Lucian seemed to be okay with wanting to go all the way to the game center. She was excited. Never in her life had she gone to a carnival, fair, or a circus. So she was excited to see the different things that were going on around this place and even more excited to have fun. She giggled happily as he took her hand and she turned to look for that boy, Jason to tell him to come to, after all it was a night for fun not just one for only couples. And Lucian and Madelyn weren't a couple anyway just the bestest of best friends. Maybe more, because they were closer than the average best friends but Madelyn was a very expressive girl and it was hard for her not to be so touchy feely as she was.
And so together hand in hand with Madelyn's wide violet blue eyes taking in everything she could. At the ticket booth the man was rather nice and jovial. He even gave Madelyn a happy face sticker that she put on the back of her hand. She got another one by smiling cutely at him and stuck it to the back of Lucian's hand. Now the two smiley face hands were holding each other and she giggled. The man could only laugh and he reached out ruffling her hair and for once Madelyn didn't cringe. She merely giggled as with tickets in hand the two smiley faced individuals embarked in the gaming world.
For some time she and Lucian walked around. She gasped, sighed, and swooned over every booth. There were so many stuffed animals not to mention all the different kinds of games. She feasted her eyes on so much. Sticking close to Lucian though because some of the carnival men, even magic ones, seemed a little brutish and scary at time. Though her ears perked when one called her Lucian's girlfriend and she blushed softly as they headed over to that booth. The man explained the game pretty quickly and gave Lucian three balls to knock the pins down with. Madelyn moved aside so she wasn't in the way and she watched eagerly her face lit up by the lights above the booth.
It was over in one shot. Madelyn jumped up and down happily her pony tail swinging to and fro as he won! All the pins knocking down with only one ball all together. The man handed Lucian a huge pink elephant and she smiled brightly because Lucian just looked.. well so out of place holding it. But he had won it and that was who.. wait a minute. He handed her the elephant and her small thin arms wrapped around it as she looked up at him and smiled brightly. She jumped up and pecked his cheek happily and then took his hand again. She was a very small thin girl and was slightly off balance by the elephant but she didn't care every so often she would nuzzle it's soft pink fur.
But soon she stopped seeing something she wanted to try and she pulled Lucian over to a booth. She pulled out exactly three tickets from his hand and tore them off giving them to the man. Placing her elephant on the ground for a moment so she could play she took the five rings in her hand. The point was to loop any one gold fish and you could have it. She could do this easily. Her fingers were finely honed and skilled from playing the flute and the piano for years. She placed the rings on the counter and took one, a pink one for good luck to match her elephant and she kissed it.
Then. She aimed. And tossed. Right around the albino gold fish with small black and orange speckles. It was one of the big ones that looked more like a koi and a gold fish mixed. The man laughed and handed her a bag with her fish in it. She smiled happily and looked up at Lucian and placed the bag with the fish in his hand. She pointed to him. She had won him a fish. The man in the booth was so tickled he even gave her a small six inch bear that was blue with a red heart on it's chest and she gave that to Lucian too. Madelyn tilted her head to the side and smiled cutely as ever and then hoisted up the pink elephant and looked up at him wondering what it was they would do now.
She shrugged up at him and smiled as she took his happy face hand in hers and nodded. It was time to move on to the next fun thing!

Post by Onira on Jan 3, 2007 15:54:25 GMT -5
After a good five minuted of laying there in a deep sleep, which was equal to twelve rides on his alchemized waterslide, Onira finally arose. He had a strange talent to sleep incredibly deeply over a short amount of time, which could be both a blessing under certain circumstance, but also a curse in dangerous times. Of course, the focus was now on consciousness, not on sleep. Provided you could even call it consciousness. In all of his pathetic glory, Onira fell down seven times before he actually stood up well enough to walk. Well, "Walk" was one word for it. It was more like a leap with many intervals.
Onira flopped first to the left, unable to stop himself and smacking his shoulder into a wall, taking away a fair chunk of drywall in the process. But, it gave him a moment to rest, doing him a little bit of good before he took off again. This time it was a bit more to the right before he pushed into someone, receiving a shove and finding his place once again among the standing. He flopped foreward a bit before taking to the right again and falling right into a table, at the moment occupied by a slightly older couple. In that chunk of wood was where he layed for a moment before finally standing up, only to fall backwards in to the pool he made only a little while earlier. It was sad, really.
He tried to stand up again, this time getting a little while of being upright. He even walked fairly solid for a minute, that was, until he finally connected with someone's heel, forcing him into three long stride, rocketing him foreward into the games section where it seemed many were converging, themselves more graceful than the mage.
His head, sadly, crashed right through the plastic side of a basketball-throwing game, but that was not all. At apparently the moment of impact someone had thrown a ball, the item ricocheting off of Onira's head. This caused him to fall backwards, right into the metal side of a video game. He slinked down, hanging now barely on to consciousness. An amount of blood was dripping down off the top of his head, falling across his face, as well as dripping down the back of his neck, beginning to dye his odd blonde hair a dirty red. It seemed this accident would be much bigger than any before.

"PAARRRRRRRRRRRRTYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!" Keiko squealed as she entered the big party area.
Games! Stuffies! Dancing!
What more could a hyper active seventeen year old want in life? Well someone to win her stuffies, while playing games, after dancing of course! But she had come here alone but she had lots of friends and a boyfriend to boot so eventually she would run into someone she knew. She just had to! It was going to bu super duper fun. Because that's what parties were. FUUUUUN!
Keiko looked around and spotted some of the people that had been at that meeting she had attended. That Revolution thingy. She squealed happily. SEEE FRIENDS!! But then a redheaded boy that was all shy and withdrawn caught her attention. Now if you have been paying attention to Keiko's story as it develops you would notice one common thing. She L.O.V.E.S. the quiet boys. Train, her bestest buddy and cuddle buddy. Rai her boyfriend. Trevor her other bestest buddy. Yep the quiet ones. Besides she was loud and vibrant enough!
Running she crossed the dance floor dodging the dancers as she went squealing happily her arms stretched out. She ran and then.. then she jumped. Glomping the poor redheaded kid with the pointy ears (Roy).
"NEEEAAAAT!!! Pointy ears! I wanna touch!" she giggled happily as she reached up one of her hands and touched the point of his ear happily. Her other arm still glomping him from behind the little small light weight girl on his back. She wore a short red skirt with black tights and a fuzzy light yellow sweater. She had cute red almost orange hair with one braid that ended in a pink little bow.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!" she giggled.
