[20:20:07 PM] * Sgath-Cross 3:20PM; Snow was once again falling, piling slowly but surely. As such, most students were staying inside- and Sariel had expressed some concerns about another snowman invasion.
[20:25:02 PM] <MissJollyollypop> Nanalie sat outside, her winter attire consisted of a black frilly dress that came down to about her knees and matched up with her thigh sockings; hugging her legs that tucked in comfortably into her boots. Her gloved hands where white and puffy from the soft wool fabric as they worked making a ball out of the snow that she watched blankly so contently in her thoughts that she couldn't be disrupted by the furry cat that fluffed around the snow and purred like a motor of a old boat.
[20:29:15 PM] <KmanMiester325> "A Gate is located here along with the others members that knows about the Sgath." A Phantom, digused in a human form said with a sly smirk. "I may as well turn one to our cause and have them join our ranks." He said, entering in Lux's sanctuary, where Locke was happen to visit, praying to his Goddess for luck and happiness. He tried to patch thing up with Arisu but he better wait it out.
[20:32:42 PM] <KadenDragon> Charbonneau was rather tempted to add to the snowman army, but decided it was best not to. So she went to look for Vi instead.
[20:33:04 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Laying on one of the paved cobble sidewalks in the Sanctuary, Arisu stared up at the statue of Lux that had captivated her countless times throughout her childhood. The Goddess revered by the Sisters, the Goddess known as Mother Lux... Could such a thing really exist? Was there really a Goddess who loved each as her own? A sigh escaped the girl, appearing as a white puff of air. There was no way.<br>But still... Her followers, those of the Sisters here, and the White Mages scattered no doubt across the globe, they were truly kind, weren't they? Her mind was drawn to Locke- the very reason she was there at the Sanctuary, and the reason she had skipped out on school this entire week. It was amazing, all she had to do was tell Sariel she didn't feel well and the woman left her alone. So, she had spent the week doing things she wanted to do; going to and from Solaris, hanging out and helping at the Sanctuary, and of course playing video games and sewing. All without being bothered.<br>She wished things were like that all the time. Then she wouldn't have to worry about hurting that boy's feelings, or hurting anyone else ever. See? Weren't things better when you leave me alone? She thought bitterly, thought she would never speak those words aloud.<br>Her dull gold eyes were drawn away from the serene face of the goddess when she heard foot steps. A woman wearing a floor length skirt made of a pale pink material and a blouse which was tucked into the waist band had approached her. She recognized this woaman as Sister Victoria. She was a gentle soul with olive green eyes and brown hair with honey coloured undertones. She held a hand out to Arisu. "You will get sick if you stay out here too long..." She said quietly.<br>Without a word, Arisu took her hand and got up. There was no reason to argue with Victoria, as she would with anyone else, the Sister had done nothing wrong to her. This was, after all, the same woman who watched after her when she had visited as a child. "Thank you, Sister Victoria, I just... I have a lot on my mind."<br>Victoria nodded, smiling with pale lips. "I know, child, you've had a hard time. Things will be right, though, don't worry."
[20:36:58 PM] <MissJollyollypop> gg grace )
[20:38:27 PM] <KmanMiester325> The Phantom, still disgused as a human, came across the two and a sly and creepy grin cracked from his face. "Excuse me, Sister, may i ask something from you." He said. Locke felt something in the pist of his stomacjh that was upsetting him, besides not spending time with his friends. That guy....he felt off, like he wasn't. <i>"Oh shit."</i> He swear mentally. He got up and quckly walked to where the guy was heading.
[20:41:36 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Victoria's eyes moved from Arisu to the Phantom in disguise, smiling. "Of course, dear. Is there something which bothers you?" Her voice was level and calm- judge not by appearances, but by word of mouth... And this person seemed polite enough. The small raven haired girl looked at the Phantom as well, brows furrowed. Something wasn't right here, a voice in the back of her head whispered, this person doesn't feel right. Rather instinctively, she took a step closer to Victoria. This earned a curious flick of the eyes from the Sister, but other wise her focus stayed on the Phantom.
[20:46:07 PM] <KmanMiester325> The Phantom chuckles a bit. "I would like to help you fall into the pits of despair." He stated then truend and morphed into its true, monstrous form. "And become a Phanrtom." It said and making a b-line towardsa them. Locke just ran out and tried to knock the Phantom off his course to Arisu and Victoria, but failed when he was bashed aside. He only stagers back and try to catch up to him.
[20:51:00 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Arisu yanked Victoria out of the way, shoving her back and away from the Phantom. "Victoria, run!" She exclaimed, glaring down the Phantom. Oh she was more than willing to take a beating for the Sister- but both were shocked to stillness when Locke was swatted away easier than swatting a fly.<br>Arisu's eyes widened. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?" She yelled, "You need to get the hell out of here too!" In the back of her mind she wondered, what compelled her to say that? But there wasn't time to think- she looked back to Victoria, who stared at horror at the Phantom.<br>"A-Arisu..." The Sister whispered, grasping at the pendent bearing Lux's symbol that hung from her neck. A prayer tool, likely, and right now she definitely needed the Goddess's strength. "W-what is this..."
[20:57:50 PM] <KmanMiester325> The Phantom chuckles as it bashed Arisu out of the and up to Victoria, and it tried to gain hold of her pendent, thinking that would turn her. Locke glance over at the Phantom and started to get angry. He then stood up to it with fist cleched and swang it at its back. People would think its would work and yea, it didn't, but he follows it up with a palm slap like he knows kung-fu and...that work, which causes the Phantom to lose its balance and glare back at Locke. "Pathetic boy!" He said, backhandind him but with a brush aside and a palm to the shoulder, it sorta loss focus on the Gate and on to this brat. With one punch after another it throw, Locke brushed it off with a swipe and counter it. Geez, Bishie does know some martial arts.
[21:10:58 PM] ** MissJollyollypop left. [connection closed]
[21:13:00 PM] <Sgath-Cross> With a grunt, Arisu fell into the snow. The side of her head stung from being thrown out of the way, but she shook it off and got up. Her eyes focused on the fight between Locke and the Phantom- her first thought was something along the lines of, what the hell are you doing?? You're going to get hurt! But hey- he was the one with magic here, not her. She looked from the fight to Victoria. So, it wasn't after her, but after the Sister. She stumbled over to Victoria and grabbed her hand. "Come on!" She exclaimed, pulling the woman towards the entrance of the Sanctuary. She glanced back at Locke and the Phantom, guilt overwhelming her. Was she really just going to leave him here? Her steps slowed and she stopped, Victoria giving her a frightened look.
[21:15:44 PM] <Sgath-Cross> A soft hum reverberated throughout the dark library occasionally interrupted by a bought of giggles, the source of which was none other than the librarian; Annabeth. She sat on one of the red couches, her knees pulled to her chest and occupying herself with a little cat toy fishing pole for Kiwi. The cat eagerly chased after it, batting and clawing at the feathery toy which hung from a string. It's mortal nemesis, controlled by his own owner.
[21:16:40 PM] <KmanMiester325> "Enough!" The Phantom yelled, Grabbing Lock by his arm and threw him aside. It glance at the two entering in the sanctuary so it decided to follow them in. "W-wait!" Locke said, staggering up only to trip over himself and fell to the ground. That throw really messed him a bit.
[21:20:43 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Arisu's face hardened once again as she shoved Victoria protectively behind herself- oh what a shield she made! The only thing intimidating about her was the look in her eyes- and even that wasn't enough to stop a phantom! The thought crossed her mind, she knew she wasn't much to protect this woman, but she should damn well try.<br>If she really was the Sgath, it was time to man up and act like it, she thought bitterly. But just how did one go about unleashing a power like that? The power to create miracles, was it? How useless. She was just a level zero. Nonetheless, she stood her ground between the Phantom and Victoria.<br>"Listen, ugly, if you want to hurt her you're going to have to go through me and I'll tell you, you're gonna have a hella've a time doin' that." Venomous words dripped from her mouth, all anger with nothing to truly back them.
[21:24:14 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa peeked out from behind one of the bookshelves. "What a silly creature." He chuckled as he watched.
[21:28:05 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth perked up, alert to someone else in the library. She glanced around, eyebrows raised. "Uhm, can I help you?" She called blindly, the toy in her hand still flicking back and forth.
[21:32:51 PM] <KmanMiester325> The Phantom laughed. "Don't make me laugh, you worm." It said, walking over to her and brushed her aside to get to Victoria. "You are not my concern Sgath." It stated. Locke stumbles up to the door and shook his head to get his inner balance back in. Damn, if he doesn't do anything soon then she Might become a Phnatom...but...he can't do anything yet. Damn it all!
[21:33:36 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa shook his head. "I'm good for now. Just running errands for Moira."
[21:56:26 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Arisu grabbed the Phantom's arm, eyes flashing as she tapped into her actual strength. "I said you're gonna have a hella've a time doin' that." She hissed and using the momentum of her body she shoved the Phantom back. She stepped forward after it, trying to gain some distance between the Phantom and Victoria. Rule number one of ever being around Arisu; don't ever try to hurt someone she's fond of. Bad things happen.<br>But in this case, she was really at a loss with no powers to speak of and just her own will power. "Where the fuck is white wizard when you need him." She grumbled to herself.
[22:07:26 PM] <KmanMiester325> The Phantom scuffed but only to be violently pushed aside from a scythe then was thrown like a fucking boomerang that impaled itself into the Phantom and bring him over to the wall. Locke walked in and kinda startle himself from watching that. Wallking across the isle was a man grabbed in in a Black cloak, with a hood, covering its face. "Reaper!" The Phantom grunted, trying to pry the Scyth off, off its body. This Reaper character stops, turnned his hood look to Locke then at the Phantom. " Henshin." He muttered. 'SET...OPEN!' Its Rider belt doors flung oipen to show a Skull engoulffed in a hood with pictures of scyths on the Side. 'R.I.P.ER. RIPPER!' A Black rune jagged rune circle swipes infront of him and turnes him into what seems like a fully cloacked White Wizard, only with a Skull helmit then a Gem masked. "You...Your a Ringed Magician?!" "I am...Ripper." Ripper stated, glaring up at him with its Black eyes. "And im here to collect your soul."
[22:12:02 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Arisu and Victoria both stared in shock. Victoria paled, backing to the wall and leaning against it. She looked as if she would faint- but honestly, in this situation, that was the least worst thing that could happen to her.<br>Arisu blinked a couple times, over coming her initial shock. "...That was lame." She said dully, as if her having a crush on the White Wizard wasn't lame?? No really, she thought Ripper was cool and all... But that line was totally lame.
[22:27:25 PM] <KmanMiester325> Ripper walked over to the Phantom and took his Scyth out from the Phantom and becak to hack away at it. The Phantom staggerts back and away from the two, starts to run off. "You won't flee." He stated, turning into smoke and chase over to it and starts hacking him again. Locke jogged over to the two girls. "Are you two okay?" He asked.
[22:34:52 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth blinked, her eyebrows raised in curiosity. "Oh, again?" She hummed, looking back to Kiwi who was still chasing the toy eagerly. "Seems like she makes you do alot."
[22:38:20 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Arisu nodded, then glanced at Victoria. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes, then opened them and smiled at Locke. "I will be alright, I am... Just a bit shocked." She explained. It was understandable, of course. Anyone would have been shocked and scared in that situation.<br>"I would like to thank you, what you did- what both of you did, it was very brave." Victoria stated.<br>Arisu waved her hand, shrugging. "Hardly did anything..." She grumbled, looking away.
[22:42:38 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa shrugged "Only when I go to the library. Since I come here often..." He pulled out a book that looked interesting to him.
[22:43:54 PM] <KmanMiester325> Locke nodded. "Its alright." He stated then glance back over at the Phantom Vs Ripper fight. Ripper of coruse was winning. He slipped on an empty Ring on his right hand and plucgged it into a matching squzre port. He then slipped it off and stuck it at the top of his Scyth. "The death toll." He stated and swipes at the Phantom, killing it. Unmlike how the White Wizard kills it by having it explode, it rather imploded and began to be drained away by the ring upon his Scyth. "One." He stated, taking the ring and place it upon a Ring holder along with other blank square Wizard rings, only the one he used is now glowing. He turned to the three but its masked eyes looks at Locke. The Bishie's face twiched slightly, getting this odd presser from Ripper's glare.
[22:46:04 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth giggled. "Oh, I see, I see..." She said whimsically. "Tell her to come and visit me sometime." It was an odd statement. But... She was rather lonely.
[22:47:48 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Arisu's brows furrowed in thought. "...Looks like White Wizard has some competition..." She mumbled, crossing her arms.<br>Victoria looked from the two students to Ripper, flinching. "What a strange presence..." She whispered. "...Shall we thank him too? He did come and save the day after all..." She prompted that questioningly, head tilted.<br>Arisu put her hands on her hips. "...Dunno..."
[22:54:16 PM] <KmanMiester325> Ripper turnned away from them and walks out of the building. Locke starts breathing heavily, like Ripper just strangle his soul or something. "He's...a Phantom killing Phantoms..." He muttered under his breath.
[22:54:17 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa nod. "Sure. I can send her by." He pulled out another book. "I don't think she's been very social lately."
[22:57:30 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Victoria tilted her head in confusion. "Phantoms?"<br>Arisu glanced at her and sighed. "...It's a long story..." She didn't want to have to explain it to Victoria, so she immediately turned her attention to Locke. "...What's wrong with that? I don't think it matters if they're dead..."
[22:58:10 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth made a noise of confusion. "Is something wrong with her?" She squeaked, pink eyes wide and innocent. "Is she ill?"
[23:06:34 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa chuckled. "Thank you for your concern but she's fine. Just preoccupied with whatever she does."
[23:09:34 PM] <Sgath-Cross> "Oh, I see..." Annabeth said quietly, brushing strands of blonde hair from her face as she watched Asa. "Well, it happens."
[23:12:32 PM] <KmanMiester325> Locke shook his head. "It....it doesn't work like that..." Does it? Despite him being an apprentice, he only know the basic of Phantoms.
[23:15:34 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Victoria shrugged. "Anything is possible..." She said quietly, gingerly touching Arisu's head. "Neither of you are hurt... Are you?" Just then she touched a sore spot- where a bruise was surely going to form and Arisu flinched. She smiled apologetically, looking at Locke. "You took quite a beating..."<br>Arisu pouted, glaring a hole into the ground.
[23:17:58 PM] <KmanMiester325> Locke shook his head. "Im alright. His bark was worse then his bite." He stated calmly. He wasn't shaken up by the Phantom even if he rough housed him, he was rather scared of Ripper...whoever he is.
[23:19:57 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Nodding, Victoria patted Arisu's shoulder. "You two should both go back to the school..." She stated in her soft spoken tone. "You'll be safer there than here." She wasn't concerned for herself, that's for sure.<br>Arisu sighed. She didn't want to go back. She didn't want to go back with Locke- surely he'd try to walk with her and she'd have to sit through another one of his talks about emotion. There was a pain in her chest. She didn't want that. Not after what happened last time- she'd hurt him and now she'll never make up for that.
[23:20:14 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa pulled out two more books. Probably a series. "It tends to happen around this time of year. The baking is new though."
[23:26:04 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth's expression fell. "...I've read that in the winter, people become depressed." She stated softly. "Whether it be because of lack of sunlight or colour... They just don't feel like life is worth living." She chewed her lip for a moment, then asked, "Do you think Vampires feel like that?"
[23:34:06 PM] <KmanMiester325> Locke glance at the two but then focus on Arisu, frowning slightly. "...Maybe we should stay a little longer before we leave." He stated.
[23:37:04 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa looked over at Annabeth. "I think some may. Not because of the lack of sunlight, but some other source." He glanced away.
[23:41:23 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth nodded a little. "I see..." She mumbled, resting her chin on her knees. Kiwi meowed, confused as to why his feathered friend stopped moving and hopped onto the couch next to his owner.
[23:43:55 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Victoria tilted her head. "Well, come inside then, there's no use to freeze out here-"<br>Arisu turned away from the two, shaking her head. "No, I'm leaving." She said plainly and headed out of the Sanctuary. Bad memories were beginning to brew with this place, and suddenly her safe haven wasn't so safe anymore. She shoved her hands into her pockets, her shoulders tensed as she glared at the ground. Things just sucked for her.
[23:46:12 PM] <KmanMiester325> Locke watched her leave, frowning.
[23:52:52 PM] <KadenDragon> Asa looked back at her. A bit lost for words, he sighed and walked over to her and sat next to her. Watching for the cat of course. "Don't worry about it too much." He patted her head.
[23:53:57 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Victoria said nothing, unphased by Arisu's sudden exit. She looked to Locke, sighing and putting a hand to her cheek. "Try as I might... I can't get her to cheer up." She whispered. "She's harsh on herself, you know, don't take it personally."
[23:54:44 PM] <Sgath-Cross> Annabeth looked at him. "I'll try not to... But it's difficult." For such a light hearted girl, she could have a lot to think about.
