mystic 5

[11:01:58] with the clusterfuck that was the confrontation with the normies outside of New alteros finished, Anita resumed her wandering, letting her anger towards the situation, particularly the stupid oscuri that came in and raised hell, dissipae as she proceeded at a good quip deeper into the woods.

it was then that she found herself wandering towards the school that she remembered the girl from a few days ago had walked to.

this was the perfect time to confront her about the day before.

Upon finding the girl, she would sigh. it seemed she was busy stabbing the training dummy. this would not do

"HEY. YOU!" she'd yell over the sound of the older girl mauling the dummy with her blade

"It's rude to not accept things from people!" she'd say, her face covered in an expression that showed her displeasure with the events from the last time they had conversed
(Anita)
[11:05:23] Quinn was practicing - or perhaps just messing around - on the training dummy outside the school. Her dagger was about the size of a chef's knife, which was an awkward length for a practicing bladeswoman... but she dealt with it nonetheless.

Stuffing was flying everywhere, and the girl was so focused on murdering the shit out of the dummy that she didn't notice someone was approaching until they called out to her.

She whirled around on her heel, turning to face Anita. Quinn squinted. The face was familiar, but Quinn was forgetful, and honestly didn't care much in the first place... until what she had said clicked. Then it all came flooding back!

It was the bitch!

"It's rude to try to force things on people who don't want them," she said, planting her hands on her hips. Her right hand still held the dagger, which was as sharp at her gaze!
(Quinn)
[11:09:39] Quinn: as sharp as****)
[11:11:21] Ugh. she reallydidn't like tis lady's attitude! Anita was really nice to her. she never shared with anyone, and yet he had decided to share with the girl.

Big mistake it seemed.

Anita had noticed th dagger in her hand. she was unsure if the girl in front of her would use it, but then again, she had a feeling that if push came to shove she could deal with the threat of a singular knife

Anita would place her hands on her hips as well, her gaze just as sharp as the other lady's

"Well next time you want something from me i'm gonna say no!" she'd say back, her tone similar to a child throwing a temoper tantrum, which wasn't far from the truth. she was a child, after all. No matter how adult she pretended to be, it was still a fact of life.
(Anita)
[11:13:55] "I mean... I don't really want anything from you anyway." Sharp knife, sharp stare, sharper tongue. Quinn was a sarcasm machine, and she wasn't about to take shit from a miniature version of her.

But let's be serious here for a second.

"Like, honestly, I appreciated the gesture. But I don't smoke cigarettes. It's just not my cup of tea." She shrugs. "Maybe if you had offered me something else, I woulda taken it."

She didn't seem all that upset, but it would be a lie to say that Anita's attitude wasn't getting on her nerves.
(Quinn)
[11:23:18] ohhhh man. this lady was like... an older version of her: angry, sarcastic, and direct. It was like she found the big sister she never had.

But that didn't change the fact atht she was a Windowlicker.

"Good. Cuz you're not getting anything. she'd say, ready to reach for the pointy she kept holstered on her back. if 'Anita: Windowlicker Edition' tried to start a fight, she was gonna finish it

But what she didn't expect was the response she got after the first comment

"Well?! Why didn't you say 'No Thanks! i don't like those'??" she'd say, flailing her arms for emphasis

"I probably WOULd have offered you something else, Windowlicker!" she'd say, sighing and putting her hands on her face in an exacberated attempt to hide her frustration, before letting her hands fall to her hips again.
(Anita)
[11:25:00] Anita: [everyone is a variation of windowlicker, crayon eater, walking helmet wearer or head bobber to Anita]
[11:25:00] Anita: [she called that oscuri a walking-helmet wearing glowstick eaerlier]
[11:25:52] Quinn: oh my god)
[11:25:52] Anita: [saltiest 12 yr old ever]
[11:26:43] Quinn was about to respond reasonably. About to. But then that world came from Anita's mouth -

windowlicker

Quinn didn't take shit from anyone. Especially not this bratty twelve year old! She could feel her cheeks turning red, matching the shade of her hair... She puffed her cheeks out, and then she took a step forward.

"What'd you just call me?"
(Quinn)
[11:30:08] Anita responded in kind to the older girl, puffing her cheeks out as well, as she stepped forward, almost bumping chests with the girl, well, would have, if she wasn't 12 and smol.

"I called you a Windowlicker!" she'd say, matter-of factly, looking the red-haired girl in the eyes, smiling. it was obvious that Anita was now just bored and doing this for her own amusement. there was never enough entertainment in the forest, and with the failure that was the oscuri appearing out of nowhere, she needed something to let her stress out on

"Betcha can't beat that!" she'd say, giggling. it was obvious that the little pre-teen thought this was some sort of game: a tit for tat where people went back in forth... a roast, was it? yea. that's what it was.
(Anita)
[11:30:59] Quinn: aw shit)
[11:31:50] Anita: [do i get a prize?]
[11:31:50] Quinn: depends on what you consider a prize)
[11:31:50] Anita: [Uhhhhhh... a cookie?]
[11:32:41] Quinn: oh boy)
[11:32:41] Anita: [man. i'm really loving this character]
[11:33:32] Anita: [just wander around and cause chaos]
[11:36:06] Something inside Quinn was ticking. She bit down on her lip, as if biting back a sharp remark. The air around her grew hot and muggy with the opressive sting of occultism, despite the fact that she wasn't an occultist.

Maybe it was because she had made a deal with the devil. Who knows? Whatever it was was burning inside of Quinn, a primal desire to punch Anita in the face. Her free hand at her side was shaking, and it was so hard to hold back...!

But she wouldn't give in to the impulse. Not just yet.

"I sure as hell can beat that," Quinn boasted, but she wasn't smiling. "Come on, right here, right now. We're gonna decide who the real Windowlicker is."

Quinn tore off her cloak, revealing her strange physique. She was short and stubby, but her arms were toned with developing muscles. They made her look goofy in the dress she was wearing...

"Fight me, Windowlicker!"
(Quinn)
[11:36:57] Quinn: quinn rn: https://gyazo.com/4492c5bd8c8f697d8d200f473b08f03e )
[11:37:48] Anita: [oh geez. das... interesting]
[11:37:48] Anita: [rpb?]
[11:37:48] Quinn: ok maybe thats an exagerration)
[11:38:40] Quinn: she is a lil swole tho)
[11:38:40] Quinn: like, barely)
[11:39:31] Ramia Hirano: (are you stripping
[11:39:31] Quinn: no)
[11:39:31] Quinn: http://www.deviantart.com/art/4-Buff-Girls-at-the-Party-105118539 )
[11:39:31] Ramia Hirano: (...oh, carry on
[11:39:31] Ramia Hirano: (wow...
[11:39:31] Quinn: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Buff-Spartan-Queen-with-dagger-96571208 )
[11:39:31] Quinn: wow even has a dagger)
[11:39:31] Ramia Hirano: (just WHY
[11:39:31] Ramia Hirano: (but it's deviantart so...
[11:40:22] Anita: [i just died inside]
[11:40:22] Quinn: welcome to my personal hell)
[11:43:47] Anita ripped her cloak off as well, revealing a slim built 12 year old with no swole in her body... but she didn't need swole. she was a literal fucking cannon.

"Fine! If i win you're Crayon eating WindowLicker!!" she'd yell, occult energy surrounding the girl as she readied herself to smash on the girl in front of her. there was no way she was gonna let 'Anita 0.75 beta edition' win this fight.

the telve year old then unslung the sword she kept on her back, holding it in her hand. she wasn't gonna ram the girl though with her sword, but she was gonna cut her up, and blast her around with a bit of magic

"Walking helmet wearing, windowlicking crayon eating head bobber!!!" she'd yell, charging into battle with her older doppleganger
(Anita)
[11:47:12] Quinn drew her dagger. Contrary to popular belief, it was actually pretty dull. She didn't plan on killing the girl, just beating her up a little... and it showed.

Pure, raw mana exploded from Quinn's frame, sizzling into the air around her. As she prepared to fight, her movements were fluid and quick, and she was ready to give Anita a taste of her fist!

"Come on, you little squirt! Try me!"

And then she charged forward!
(Quinn)
[11:47:12] Quinn assumes the Cetus stance!
[11:48:03] {combat} Anita has been defeated by Quinn! They're unable to continue fighting.
[11:48:54] Anita: [that went better than i thought, honestly XD]
[11:48:54] Quinn: i have baby vit)
[11:48:54] Quinn: and no armor lol)
[11:48:54] Anita: [i have baby stats]
[11:48:54] Anita: [still haven't broken 100]
[11:50:36] Quinn was serious! Anita's magic bit and stung at her skin, giving her quite a beating, but she wasn't messing around! It didn't matter that the girl was 12... she was gonna learn a lesson!

Water and energy coalesced in the air around her, charging her punches as she beat and battered the poor girl to oblivion. Her movements were lightning fast, and brutal as hell!

And with a signature pantyshot, Quinn reeled her foot back and gave Anita a painful kick to the stomach!

She stood there, waiting for the girl to get up.

"I'm not done yet, you little spraybottle squirt. Get up!"
(Quinn)
[11:57:26] it was a fin fight, though a bit one-sided. Anita realised that she really did not have the mass or resilience to take shots fom the windowlicker like she thought she could

It seems that she had underestimated her a bit.

Doing the best she could to keep some distance between them, she did her best to maul the girl with as much magic from a distance as she could, and she definitely succeeded in hitting her a few times, but it wasn't enough to bring the windowlicker down

catching a boot to the stomach, the small girl flew a disproportionately large distance, sliding across the training grounds a bit, groaning, then got up,dusting herself off

"No fair!i'm gonna melt you this time, you carpet munching wretch!" she'd yell, preparing another barrage to pummel the older girl. this time she would beat her down.
(Anita)
[11:58:17] {combat} Anita has been defeated by Quinn! They're unable to continue fighting.
[11:58:17] Anita: [darnit]
[12:02:33] "Melt me! Do it!"

Quinn charged forward again. She punched and she kicked and the threw, delivering flurry upon flurry of bruise-inducing strikes to Anita. She was strong, and she was fast, and she was angry!!!

But she decided she'd play around with her a bit. After a quick beating, Quinn backed off. Anita's magic flew at her, and she sidestepped. Her occultism seared the ground beneath them and she twirled away. She was using her fleet footing to dodge anything that Anita sent at her, and she seemed to escape the fight with anything but a searing burn on her arm.

But she knew she was going to win. After messing with Anita got boring, she decided to end it. Quinn charged forward, and, with a fist burning with raw mana, punched Anita straight in the nose.

And then she stopped. It was over - Quinn was done wasting her energy.

"Windowlicker."
(Quinn)
[12:02:33] Musaka: (you guys mind if i watch icly?
[12:02:33] Quinn: i dont mind, it's up to Anita)
[12:03:24] Anita: [do it]
[12:06:49] He would walk through the forest. He saw the damage all over the place. It seemed a immense battle had happened near the area. Hardly any sign of many yokais were by. Though he wondered what happened to everyone in the war. As he got closer to heading to Nostvale he would hear fighting. As he came into view he would see two girls fighting.

He would look and see the fight was coming to a end.

Musaka was not foolish enough to interfere. Yet, he wanted to watch the result of this confrontation. Who were these girls? Also why were they fighting? All these questions. They could eaisly see him looking at them. Though he would sit down and wait for them to ask why he was here.
(Musaka)
[12:11:56] Anita had never been more angry i her life. the oscuri incident didn't eve hold a candle to this!! there was no way she could be satisfied if she lost to this windowlicker again!

but for some reason, while she did namage to hit her last time, nothing connected this time, even her shadowcannon missed the girl as she fought.

Desperately throwing everything she could at the older girl, it still wasn't enogh. she knew that she was being messed with. But it was fine because she was going to

*Thwack*

Quinn's fist impacted squarely into Anita's nose, knocking her backward, sending her head crashig into the ground, blood dripping from it. She figured that it was broken, but she was really more frustrated with teh fact that she was getting her ownblood on her shirt.

the occult energy she had gathered around herself dissipated as she laid on the ground, holding her nose, her eyes blurring as she felt a tear forming in one of her eyes. she wiped it before anyone would notice

"Doesn't change the fact that you munch carpets, old hag!" she'd say, her voice wavering as if she almost didn't want to continue the shit-slinging contest, but she couldn't stop.. her pride, and her nose, was bloodied beyond repair.
(Anita)
[12:11:56] Anita: [well, i mean. she can fix her nose]
[12:12:48] Anita: <*butthurt 12 yr old is butthurt*>
[12:15:21] {combat} Dia Hirano has been defeated by Hisako! They're unable to continue fighting.
[12:15:21] Quinn put away her dagger and wiped sweat from her brow. She was grinning. The adrenaline left her soaring, and despite the knowledge that she knew her muscles would be aching later, she was on top of the world right now.

"What's wrong with being a carpet muncher? Least I don't lick windows, windowlicker."

A bloody hand - she had busted her knuckles several times - raised to push her hair out of her face. Doing so cleared her field of vision, and she spotted a young Sarradian standing nearby. Her gaze flickers over to him, and her hand raises to wave him a greeting.

"Hey."
(Quinn)
[12:15:21] Quinn: brb)
[12:20:28] Quinn: am back)
[12:20:28] Quinn: whose turn?)
[12:21:20] Anita: [brown guy's]
[12:21:20] Musaka: (my bad
[12:21:20] Anita: [all good XD]
[12:22:11] Quinn: youre fine)
[12:24:44] The insults were flying all over. He would see the younger girl call the older woman old hag. He would look Quinn upo and down and raise a brow. Wait she was around his age. Did she mean he was old also? The insults of someone age were not something he heard much in his village. They actually respected the elderly there.

He would then see the older one speak to him.

Walking over to them he would look them both in the eye. "Who might you two be? Also why do you call her old hag? Aslo what is a windowlicker? Also what is a carpetcmuncher? I'm not for these lands so please catch me up to such words. By the way i'm Musaka. Its a pleasure to meet you both."

Doing a bow to both of them.
(Musaka)
[12:31:34] Anita heard the other guy talking but, continued to lay on the gorund, her nose still dripping blood. she'd turn her head to the side and spit a mouthful of blood on the ground, before standing up, looking the girl in the eyes, then turned to the other person

"Don't worry about it. " is all she'd say to the other person, before turning back to Quinn.

"Fine" she spat, more blood from her mouth "You win this time, Carpet muncher, but next time i'm gonna beat you up."

AAArgh. losing was frustrating as hell. she didn't deserve this! whatever. the carpet muncher won.

"By the way, My name's anita." she'd say. she wasn't ready to offer a handshake to the girl in front of her, her nose would have to stop bleeding and be put back into place before that happened, but she at least earned a bit of respect from her
(Anita)
[12:31:34] Bandit: I'll kill you!
[12:33:16] Anita: [this is either gonna turn into a hardcore rivalry or a reallyawkward friendship]
[12:34:08] "My name is Quinn."

She turned back to face the newcomer. Her arms were crossed.

"She called me an old hag because I'm like, four years older than her or something." She was a little off, but whatever. "Windowlicker and carpetmuncher are insults we're using. I don't really know what they mean but they don't sound good, so... yeah."

She looked Musaka up and down, scrutinizing...
(Quinn)
[12:34:08] Anita: [i don't think there's any in-between with this]
[12:40:06] Walking over the two he would look at two and sign. Beyween the two he would turn to Anita. He would pull out a cloth and look her deep into the eyes. He would shake his head at her. Such a pretty young lady saying such rude words. It was quite weird to hear from the both of them. Handing the cloth for her to wipe away the blood and stop the bleeding.

"Anita such pretty name for a fiery flower indeed."

He would then turn to Quinn.

"Also in my eyes your a beautiful rose as well. You two seem more alike then most. You fight one another with words but show each other respect. A rather strange way of ending a spar. I'm just happy you two didn't hurt each other to badly."
(Musaka)
[12:46:04] Anita nodded to the strange man, taking the cloth and using it to help stop her bleeding nose and clean up her face, which she did. What a frustrating day. she just wanted to have a conversation with carpet muncher, got beaten up, and complimented by a stranger. Weird.

Oh well, this is valmasia, the place where an angry glowstick can just show up and beat the fuck out of the person you want to snatch up to experiment on for nefarious purposes, so she wasn't -too- surprised

"Thanks?" she'd say, confused. she didn't really understand why she was being called a flower, but it was whatever.

"Ya know, Quinn... I kinda like you." she'd say, turning her attention to her

"You remind me of me, but older." she'd say, a small giggle escaping her lips as a smile formed underneath the rag holding her nose
(Anita)
[12:49:29] Quinn turned to look at Musaka again.

"I never planned on hurting her. Sometimes, it's just better to let actions do the work that words can't, yeah? I needed to show her that."

She begins to walk back to where their fight started. Her cloak lays discarded on the ground. She picks it up and drapes it back over her shoulders, hiding the rust that covers her arms.

"Plus, I think we were both pretty irritated. Right, Anita? We got all our anger out. And if it makes a difference to you, I like you when you're not being a 'lil brat."
(Quinn)
[12:55:28] He would see the two were getting along. Well this had took a quick turn for the better. Though the Sarradian would only hope many times others would come to this conclusion. Yet, alot of people were filled with rage and hate in Valmasia. It sadden him to know he was not able to stop some of the thing he witnessed at times.

He would see the Rust had infected her also.

The stuff was annoying indeed. Though he dealt with the annoying thing for as long as the Imperfect lived. He would take Anita thank you as she seem confused. Also Quinn seem to be quite strong from what he saw from coming up. Looking at the huge place behind him he would have to ask.

"What is this place by the way?" Examining the big building. The scythe swihing as he turned to look at the building.
(Musaka)
[12:56:19] Anita: [gonna afk for a moment. taking the laptop outside. be back in 3-5 mins]
[12:57:10] Quinn: mmk tyt)
[12:58:01] Quinn: brb real quick, im going to grab dinner)
[13:03:08] Quinn: am back with spaghetti)
[13:04:00] Anita: [lit. am back with irl cigarette]
[13:04:00] anita looked at the brown dude for a moment, thinking for a moment...

"I think it's some kind of shool, honestly. i dunno" she'd say, reaching into her pocket, pulling out a pack of soothe reed cigarettes, placing one in her mouth and lighting it. thank god there were no age restrictions on plants here

"i think this is the one i tried to go toyears ago, but they must have misplaced my letter..." she'd say, sounding slightly salty about it. they had offered a runewriting class, and she was genunely interested in it...
(Anita)
[13:04:51] Anita: [waow. i'm due for another check again. that was fast]
[13:04:51] Quinn: same)
[13:04:51] Quinn: im loving this new system)
[13:05:42] Anita: [duuuude. same. it's nice to know when you're due for a check, like holy shit.]
[13:06:33] Musaka: (so whats your rpls?
[13:06:33] Anita: [smol]
[13:07:24] {Item} You dropped Stat Boost (Magic Damage) x1.
[13:07:24] Quinn: i dont want)
[13:07:24] Anita: [free perm?]
[13:07:24] Anita: [ty!]
[13:07:24] Quinn: ye)
[13:08:16] Anita: [oh man. whats the current meta for darkness peoples?]
[13:08:16] "Yeah, Anita is right. This is a school I'm pretty sure - at least, that's what Lyse told me. We've been staying put here for a few days. We're probably heading out of here tonight, though."

She looks up at the building. It's actually pretty damn huge!

"It's nice inside, too. I haven't really met anyone in there, though... when the people are out and moving around, I tend to be sleeping."
(Quinn)
[13:08:16] Quinn: depends on what darkness you're going)
[13:09:07] Quinn: they added a LOT of new combo magics)
[13:09:07] Anita: [i really need to get my execution beam]
[13:09:07] Anita: [but i'm trying to AoE/ kite]
[13:09:07] Quinn: hmmm)
[13:09:07] Quinn: gimme a sec)
[13:09:58] Quinn: shadowflame will get you lots of AOEs)
[13:09:58] Musaka: ( my build is set to deal with aoe users and also kiters
[13:11:40] Quinn: if you're looking for kiting potential, maybe look into time)
[13:11:40] Quinn: the aura gives you nice sustain)
[13:13:23] A school huh? The Sarradian would look at the place and touch his temple. The nearest place of a city was New Alteros. Aslo this was apart of their terriory in area wise. So he had to guess it belonged to them. Research would need to be requitred more further on this place. Either way he would face both of them once more.

"Do you two mind training with me one day? I have met many but seek to help others further themselves as much as myself. Dealing with alot of yokai attacks has made me aware to keep preparing myself up for any battle incoming to me."

He would hear more.

"Anita and Quinn do you both have goals or something that pushes you to get stronger?" A question he asked anyone he comes to meet.


(Musaka)
[13:13:23] Musaka: ( i plan to get nature and then get sarradian well
[13:13:23] Musaka: ( so i can have a nice mana and vit heal
[13:14:14] Musaka: ( but i also have to save up to get desrt fury
[13:14:14] Musaka: (Desert Fury*
[13:17:39] anita's expression would sour

"My goals... they're secret. i couldn't tell you even if i wanted to." she would say . she didn't wan anyone knowing what she ahd planned. People would want that power for themselves, and this it was best to just keep it quiet.

"As for training eith yo, i see no problem. What do you say, Carpet muncher?" She'd ask in a joking tone, hoping that Quinn would understand that she wasn't seriously taking a jab at her this time.

"I think we could arrange for that in the future" she'd say, semi-absentmindedly. it really all depended on whether or not she became a wanted criminal in the next few months or not.
(Anita)
[13:20:12] Quinn shrugged.

"I mean, I just wanna make it. There's not really much I'm doing to get stronger except using what I got, y'know? And as time calls for it, I'll get better. For now, I'm on a mission with my friend. We'll see where that takes me."

"Which also means... I'm moving around a lot. If you wanna train with me one day, shoot me a raven and I'll arrange to meet you somewhere. I'll be hard to track down for the next few months."
(Quinn)
[13:25:20] A secret goal to achieve. The girl sure like to keep the Sarradian guesssing. Though that was the type of thing that kept him motivated to the people he met. He wanted to inspire them as much as they needed. Yet, she couldn't tell if she wanted to was what made him feel it was alot to her then meets the eye. He would not further on her after all.

He would then hear Quinn was on a mission. So finding time to train with her would be rather hard.

"Excellent to know ladies. This gives me a greater understanding of both of you. Though of course once i say something i plan to stick to it. I send out a raven to seek both of you out. It be better understanding for us all to meet like we are now and speak of our progress since this moment yes?"

Looking towards the swamps he would need to go to the Sun. He hoped Pressley was alright.

"I have a great friend in the Sun Village. He went to war so i need to go check to see if he was okay. If you ever heard a man named Pressley he is who i speak of at this moment. Though maybe he is not known all over."


(Musaka)
[13:27:53] Anita: [uff. i need a shower. mind if i exit?]
[13:27:53] Musaka: (sure
[13:28:44] Quinn: go for it, im probably gonna take a break soon too)
[13:28:44] Musaka: ( i was planning on heading soon also
[13:28:44] Quinn: ive been rping for hours @___@)
[13:29:36] finally done bleeding everywhere, she would finish wiping her face, before lighting the rag ablaze with a rock covered in small, intricate runes

"Well, gotta dispose of biohazards correctly" she'd say, before turning to Quinn again

"We should spar again some time. that was pretty fun, even if you do hit pretty hard."

And with taht, she would wander, unless stopped. [ i really want a shower x.x]

(Anita)
[13:32:09] "See 'ya, Anita."

She turned to look at Musaka.

"I know Pressley. If you see him, tell him Quinn said hi for me, okay? But... for now, I think I had better head inside. I need to start packing my stuff for our travels."

"Remember, if you ever wanna train, just send me a letter. I'll be around."

She waited a moment for any parting words on Musaka's part, and then she went inside.
(Quinn)
