Anna "Ren" Delaware
5'1" | | 113lb. | | Hair: Red | | Eyes: Green | | Known magic: Unknown yet
Location: Garden | | With: No one | | Mood: Peaceful
Thoughts: What a beautiful place The garden was very beautiful. The trees were colorful, the flowers smelled nice, and the statues were amazing. Anna neared the angel statue and sat down on the edge of the little pond surrounding it. Here she could get somewhat comfortable without getting dirt on her butt. She set the illusion giraffe down and closed her eyes. "I hope this isn't too hard," she mentioned to herself. Anna took long, even, and deep breaths through her nose to try and relax herself. She even cleared her mind as best she could, focusing on the here and now, rather than what was or what will be. Soon she began to meditate, not bothering with mantras as they made her think of things. Her body began to relax and deeper thoughts and images took over. The girl no longer felt like she was even there...

Kαiser Brαndт KEEP YOUR FACE TO THE SUNSHINE AND YOU CANNOT SEE A SHADOW  AT : garden || WITH : Lou
Kaiser stretched his back, the joints between the vertebrae popping loudly. Traveling through the door was never nice. One would've thought the Elves would make it comfortable, but apparently that was beyond even them. Crossing the door always felt like being turned inside out and then put back together again.
The man rested his hands on his hips and took a look around. His brown eyes scanned the place, absorbing every new detail, everything that had changed since he left. Door or not, he had really missed the academy. And the garden was, of course, his favorite place. The statues were a little too creepy, especially now in the middle of the night. But there was both water and a lot of plants, so he couldn't really complain. Kaiser ran a hand through his short hair and looked down at his chest, where a small orange and black turtle peeked up from inside his pocket. The man smiled and picked up the little reptile, that fit easily on the palm of his hand. Lou always felt as bad as Kaiser after crossing the door. "Let's find you a bit of grass" he told the turtle. Lou moved his head up, following the familiar voice and Kaiser's smile widened.
A couple minutes later, Kaiser laid on the grass with Lou at his side, who was happily munching on a very red flower. The man heard a small noise and he looked up to see a girl, whose hair was as red as Lou's flower, sitting at the feet of the statue and closing her eyes. "Meditating?" he asked Lou, obviously not expecting a response. He remembered fondly his early days in the academy and how he had discovered his own element. Not that he wasn't expecting it, Kaiser's magic was almost textbook. A Nix with water magic surprised nobody, and Flora was just as predictable. A little nostalgic, the man crossed his hands behind his head and leaned back on the grass once again.

Anna "Ren" Delaware
5'1" | | 113lb. | | Hair: Red | | Eyes: Green | | Known magic: Unknown yet
Location: Garden | | With: Alone? | | Mood: Peaceful
Thoughts: I sort of... feel something. Anna couldn't really describe the feeling she was having. It was like... an adrenaline rush. She didn't feel like she was in her body, but could feel the rough, cold stone she was sitting on and the cool night air. But... she felt something else. A numbness that spread through her body starting from her head to her toes. Her heart felt like it was beating so loud, it was as if she were listening to the heartbeat of another person. She could hear other sounds crystal clear but as if they were far away. A heavy breath, not her own but coming from her. Finally though the darkness came color. No light, but dark color. She could see herself, sitting on the stone. Was it her? She moved closer till she was right next to herself, towering over the girl with red hair. Was she standing now? Now that she was next to herself, she had to look down, so she must be standing now. Anna leaned down to get a better look when something hot and humid hit the back of her neck. With a jolt, she sat up strait, eyes wide open. Again the hot, wet air hit her neck and she heard something move to her left. Suddenly turning and wishing she hadn't, a great big beast stood over her. Tall and brown with large horns that stuck out in all directions, it looked at her with odd shaped eyes. The color drained from Anna's face and she fell to her other side and scrambled to get up. Her voice felt caught in her throat and she couldn't scream or shout. Whenever she was scared like this, she could never cry out. Even if she could, no one would come. The creature let out some sort of cry and moved closer, its hooves clopping on the stone ground. In a blind panic she hadn't noticed the nearby boy and turtle. Instead, she bolted for a tree and the beast followed, picking up its pace. She had never seen such a creature and it's sudden appearance frightened her so she climbed. The bar scratched at her skin as she climbed up to the higher branches, out of the creature's reach. It stood on its hind legs and pawed at the tree with it's front. The long neck stretched up towards her but could not reach so it dropped down and circled the tree a few times before wandering off. Anna panted, trying to catch her breath only to realize she had held it in until she was at a safe hight. Trying to move to a thicker branch her knee slipped and she along with it. It was too fast for her to realize what had happened, but the uplift in her stomach and the image of the branches above were never a good thing.

Kαiser Brαndт KEEP YOUR FACE TO THE SUNSHINE AND YOU CANNOT SEE A SHADOW AT : garden || WITH : Lou and a redhead
Kaiser had almost fallen asleep when a rustling noise woke him up. He furrowed his brow in wonder, unwilling to sit up to check where it was coming from, until he remembered the girl, sitting near the angel statue. She had probably moved and was wandering around the bushes or something like that. Kaiser closed his eyes once again, but opened them almost immediately. There was something strange. Something made him feel restless, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what. He strained his ears, checking his surroundings, until he noticed. The girl. She wasn't just walking around, she was breathing heavily, her inhalations and exhalations audible from where he was. The man finally sat up, only to see the redhead clinging to a branch, her eyes wide with panic. He was about to stand up and walk to her when her leg slipped and she lost her footing. His body reacting before his brain, Kaiser flicked his hand. A tall and almost impossibly fluffy bush suddenly grew from the floor, right next to the tree, just in time to cushion the girl's fall. Kaiser picked up Lou and trotted up to her. "Hey. Are you okay?" he asked, peeking into the bush.

Location:Garden Feelings:Happy Thoughts:So calm here Alice always enjoyed beginning her days here. It was so different from her home world, so much more organic. Sometimes it made her feel like her home world shouldn't have been her home world at all. This place was so calming to her he couldn't imagine another way to spend her mornings. As she stepped into the sunlight that was streaming through the windows. The warmth kissed her skin, making her feel slightly light-headed.
The sudden commotion startled Alice, causing her eyes to open wide and stare in the direction of the noise. A girl falling, a bush popping up and some lumbering beast? What in the lords name had happened to Alice's garden?! This upset her quite a bit. God damn new students not knowing their powers! She strode confidently over to where Kaiser was standing and stamped the ground. "What, exactly, is going on here?"

Kαiser Brαndт KEEP YOUR FACE TO THE SUNSHINE AND YOU CANNOT SEE A SHADOW AT : garden || WITH : Lou, Alice and a redhead
Kaiser, surprised to hear anyone else in the garden so early in the morning, looked to the side. His lips twisted up in a friendly smile as he spotted the familiar face. "Oh, hello Alice" he greeted before looking back at the redhead, who was still not entirely conscious - "... did she faint?". Kaiser placed Lou on his shoulder, where he usually was, and crouched in front of the bush he had just created. "I'm not entirely sure, to be honest" he said, ignoring the angry tone. "She fell off the tree, though I don't know what she was doing up there" His eyes moved up, scanning the tree from its root to the place the redhead had fallen from. "She looked terrified, tho" Kaiser added in a quiet voice, almost a mumble.

5'1" | | 113lb. | | Hair: Red | | Eyes: Green | | Known magic: Unknown yet
Location: Garden | | With: With: Kaiser and Alice | | Mood: Upset
Thoughts: I feel weak in the legs. Anna felt herself hit a bush which broke her fall. She was still rather shaken up about the whole thing. The beast from before ran off, spooked by the show of more people. Climbing out of the bush, Anna looked around. A young man and girl were now near the tree and bush she didn't remember being there before. Then again, she was panicked and may have missed seeing it. The tone of the girl seemed very intimidating and Anna lost all her bravery, though that may have been lost to the beast. Maybe this girl was a teacher or some sort of prefect to keep students from wandering around after hours? "S-so-sorry! Th-there was some sort of m-monster s-so I tried to get away by climbing a tree but I fell."

✠ΩAliceΩ✠
Location:Garden Feelings:Slightly Grumpy Thoughts:Freshman... "Oh! Hi Kaiser. Didn't recognize you without Lou there on your shoulder." She smiled at Kaiser then lifted a hand to scratch at Lou's tiny chin. Such a precious little turtle. Her mood quickly changed when the girl spoke. Alice looked down her nose at the girl. This just wouldn't do, random creatures being released in the garden and all. Crossing her arms before her chest, Alice spoke in a slightly calmer voice. "Be a bit more careful. Did you conjure the creature?" Her mood really wasn't necessary, but that was just how she felt like acting at the moment. Normally she wouldn't have been nearly as accusative.

Kαiser Brαndт KEEP YOUR FACE TO THE SUNSHINE AND YOU CANNOT SEE A SHADOW AT : garden || WITH : Lou, Alice and a redhead (and a monster?)
Kaiser smiled as he watched Alice petting Lou, the little turtle closing its eyes contently and leaning into the caress. Lou was as friendly as its owner and everyone seemed to like it. "A monster?" he asked, confused, looking back at the redhead. That was... well, that was impossible. The Academy was isolated and no one without at least a bit of magic could get through the doors from the other worlds. Sure, there were a few animals in the ridiculously large garden, but it was mainly birds and they were all very tame. Nothing that would classify as a monster. The thought of someone actually bringing it into the school didn't even occur him until Alice mentioned it. He stood up next to his former classmate and and examined the other girl. He couldn't quite believe she had called the monster, if there even was one - Kaiser hadn't seen it. She had looked terrified when he saw her. Plus, summoning an animal large enough to be called a monster required much more skill than the girl seemed to have, especially summoning it to the academy. "I don't think she did it, Alice. Look at her." Kaiser said, giving her the benefit of the doubt as he always did. He looked around once more, just in case the monster reappeared, before turning to the girl. "So, what did it look like? The monster" If it was something potentially dangerous, they should take care of it before it harmed anyone.

Thoughts: I feel weak in the legs. Anna shook her head when Alice asked if she had conjured it. At least... she didn't think she summoned it. If she did, it was unintentional. Then the boy, Kaiser, asked her to describe it. That would be a little difficult as she had been more inclined to get away from it. She hoped they wouldn't call her a coward. "Um, it was big and had brown fur and long legs with hooves or something because it made a sound when it moved on the stone. And really big horns that stuck out in all directions and were pointy. And it's irises were weird shaped. Oval-like, where the longest part was horizontal. It was really close to me and I got scared."

Location:Garden Feelings:Confused Thoughts:A deer? Alice knelt down next to the girl. She envisioned what the girl had described and was slightly confused by it. "A deer? Seems to be what you saw. Anyway, my name is Alice, this here is Kaiser and Lou. Sorry for seeming so bitter earlier. What's your name, hun?" A smile pressed across graces lips as she thought about the 'monster' just being a deer. She held a hand out to the girl, offering to help her up. She turned her head back to Kaiser, still smiling and nodded at her own thought. Had to be a deer.

Kαiser Brαndт KEEP YOUR FACE TO THE SUNSHINE AND YOU CANNOT SEE A SHADOW AT : garden || WITH : Lou, Alice and a redhead
Kaiser couldn't help the amused snort that escaped him when his eyes met Alice's. That was most definitely a deer. Maybe a frightened one, but hardly a monster. More relaxed now, Kaiser sat on the grass next to the redhead and crossed his legs indian-style. He picked up Lou from its place on his shoulder and left it on the grass. Kaiser gave the girl a little salute/wave when Alice introduced him. In turn, Lou looked up when someone mentioned its name, but went back to exploring the new patch of earth around him after a moment. "More important than names, are you okay?" he asked worriedly. "I was worried the bush wouldn't be enough, but it was all so fast I did the first thing that came to mind" He cocked his head to the side a bit, a gesture completely ludicrous in a grown, 6'4" tall man covered in tattoos. "God. I hope it wasn't thorny" he added, his mouth twisting up in an almost comical concerned expression.

Thoughts: I feel weak in the legs. A deer? The name sounded familiar. Anna took the helping hand offered to her. "I-I think I heard about them before in stories but I've never actually seen one. But in the stories they ran away, they didn't follow." She looked over at Lou. It was also something she had never seen before. Anna snapped out of her distant thoughts when asked her name. "M-my name is Anna Delaware, but I also go by Ren. It's a pleasure to meet you both," she said in a small voice. When Kaiser mentioned the bush, she looked back at it. "Oh, no. It was much better than if I had hit the hard ground or a rock or something. There were no thorns. Thank you for saving me."

✠ΩAliceΩ✠
Location:Garden With:Grace and Kaiser Thoughts:Strange girl. Alice smiled towards Anna and helped her away from the bush. Afterwards she stood and smoothed her skirt. "More commonly than not the do, but if you created it it would be familiar with your scent and wouldn't be scared that easily." Turning towards Kaiser, she made her way over to where Lou was and sat in the grass near him. It was nice having someone familiar near her. The little turtle wasn't hurting either, so adorable. curling her legs under her left side, she looked over at Anna. "So, what brought you to the Academy?"
She was genuinely curious about the girl. Being a Master, Alice was obligated to help students whenever possible, regardless of their class rank. The nice part of Alice was showing its face and she was very happy about it. This is when she felt more comfortable after all. For some reason she felt the need to play with some of her powers so she did so. She reached into the plants around her a pulled a bit of water from then, not enough to kill the plants, but enough to form a small orb of water. She toyed with it, swinging it this way and that way in the air.
