"Yeah... great." Danny replied. He realised he was being rather antisocial, but the longer he stayed in this part of the building the worse his mood got. He hoped it would be more welcoming further in, but it probably wasn't. "Come on Sprout, we'd better find the main office. Or the dorms. Or wherever, somewhere that actually resembles a room from a school." Sprout trailed off after him, trying to keep up so that he wouldn't go without his 'bodyguard's protection. It was hard, since Danny had longer legs and could move a lot faster. "Danny, stop walking so fast! I'm only little!" Danny turned a baleful eye on him. "You're little by your own choice, you could easily shape-shift to a larger form if you wanted."

"Hi!" Amei chirped, "And thanks for noticing. Most people think it's a bit weird, especially with the feathers and all and- hey why is everyone walking away from me?! I'm not that boring..." sh thought for a moment before adding, "Am I?"

Taavi looked up from his book.
"Oh sorry." He stood up, looked at his page number, and closed the book. "I get obsessive over books. Especially ones about magic. I forgot you were even there. I'm really sorry. Let's do this again."
He held out his hand.
"Hello. My name is Taavi." He grinned and winked with his right eye.

Amei grinned widely at the wink and shook hands with Taavi. "My name's Amei. And don't worry about it, I couldn't agree more with you. Books are great. Records of history and adventure in my opinon." She looked at the closed book and pulled a thoughtfully face. "What's that one all about?" she asked, pointing at it

((Try as I might, I can't find any records of what Amei looks like. I would appreciate if you described her.))
"It's an encyclopedia of magic. Unlike normal people, I read things like encyclopedias and dictionaries all the way through." He said. "I first found the Sigla in a book a lot like this." He didn't explain what a sigla was, and he seemed not to notice that he hadn't.

As he walked along, Danny kept an eye out for anything that could point him in the right direction, surely there was an office or something here. He felt uneasy, and his hand kept straying to the side of his jacket. Sprout noticed this and went rather red in the face. He scowled furiously and pursed his lips before demanding, "DANNY! You didn't bring them, did you? To a SCHOOL?" Danny smiled slightly. It was a rather mischievous look. "I take them everywhere I go, I thought you knew that by now. You can never be too careful, especially if you're as unpopular as Yama is." "B-but what if they shoot someone by accident or something?" Danny stuck a hand up his T-shirt and pulled a pistol out from the holster concealed there, making Sprout cringe. It was incredibly small and compact, which explained how it went entirely unnoticed. "The safety lock's on, fool. It's not gonna shoot anyone unless I did it on purpose. Now stop whining." At that, he gave the gun a quick polish with his sleeve and returned it to his hiding place under his T-shirt, where it was safely concealed by his thick leather jacket. Sprout opened his mouth to say something else, but thought better of it and remained silent.

((@ zerrer: Sure. I onced used her in the OC RPG...but as usual I kinda killed it....nobody posts anything after I've suggested a move along or asked something...But here's a link anyway to my da page, that has a drawing of her ember-lee.deviantart.com/art/Introducing-88518956 I'm not so proud of the drawing anymore but oh well @ Drac: uhhh Drac, is that 'being' meant to me 'bring'?)) "Uhhh please explain." Amei asked as Taavi talked about Sigla, whatever that was. Silently she cursed her little brain.

"Oh, sorry." He said. "I'll show you." He pulled back the sleeve on his t-shirt, revealing the edge of a very large tattoo. At first it looks like abstract lines, but there is a pattern there, somehow. "A Sigla is an enchanted tattoo. It'll keep me safe, or warn me of danger. Like that other guy, the tall one; he has a weapon on him somewhere. Otherwise it wouldn't have glowed. It's very powerful and very subtle."

She peered at the tattoo interestedly, trying to make sense of the lines and pattern. When she heard the part the hidden weapon, she snorted in amusement. "It wouldn't surprise me if Danny, that's his name, had some sort of weapon on him. He's that kind of person. Doesn't go anywhere without some sort of protection." she explained, "it's just in his nature. He's had a....rough past and is still recovering from it." for a moment she paused before whispering, "Oh by the way, don't offend him or tease him. I learnt the hard way."

"Okay. Thanks for the advice." Taavi grinned. He had already guessed that making fun of Danny would not be a healthy thing to do. "So. What did you hope to learn in this place?"

Sprout jumped forwards gleefully and grabbed Danny around the legs when he spotted a sign that said 'Offiss'. "Look Danny! That's where we go! ... Their spelling is atrocious though, I have to say..." "Screw the spelling, let's go. The sooner I found out what's going on and why there's hardly anyone here, the better. This place makes me paranoid." Danny replied, kicking his brother off so that he could walk properly. "I wonder if the others have got here yet..."

"Well lately I've been shorting out unexpectedly, you know zapping anyone around me without meaning. Just harmless static. But it's gotten worse, and people are getting weird burns. I didn't know I had an electircal energy until a few years ago, and so I never really learnt how to control it. When I heard about this place I thought it might be good for me, not to mention fun." she explained, walking slowly after Danny and Sprout. She had heard Sprout exclaim about something before and was curious to find out what. "What about you? What's your reason for being here?"

Taavi gave a sly grin. "Books. Where else would books be if not in a school? Especially books about magic. I'm hoping to find more books on the Sigla. The book I first learned about them had references from some other books. I'm hoping to find those and learn more about the Sigla."

"Ahhh of course." Amei chuckled, "I'll help you search for it if you want." she offered as they approached Danny and Sprout.
(((Sorry! God moding!)))

Danny approached the door. He had his hand on the doorknob and was about to enter when he froze. "D-Danny? What's wrong?" Sprout asked, ears drooping in anxiety. Danny jerked his hand away from the door like he'd been stung and wiped his forehead with the other hand. He was shaking. "I sense something... something on the other side... f**k it, I'm not going in!"

Rolling her eyes Amei barged past Danny and Sprout grumbling. "You bloody chickens! What's wrong with you? Just go in already." she snapped, pushing the door open while adding, "And Danny don't you dare pull out any whatever you have hidden behind that jacket of yours on me." Shaking her head she walked into the room before stopping at the sight that greeted her. A lady in her mid forties was sitting behind an old wooden desk sipping a steaming hot cup of tea. She looked just as surprised as Amei felt and glanced breifly at the boys behind her before setting down her cup. "Why hello....children...I'm sorry I didn't hear you arrive." she said gently, getting up to see them. As she did this Amei noticed an old dreamcatcher propped up on the filing cabinet behind the lady. Ahhhh snap she thought with a small smirk.

Sprout happily skipped into the room, instantly warming up to the lady. Danny, however, stayed outside. And it was clear from his expression that he was absolutely, downright furious. He had also gone pale at the sight of the dreamcatcher, and backed well away. "I'm not going in, you hear me?!" He bellowed, leaning back against the wall and crossing his arms in a huff. 'You're gonna pay for that, Amei... your breakfast cereal is no longer safe.' He thought venomously, wondering if it would be better to put a dud grenade or hurl-powder in her breakfast.

Taavi halted at the door, just like Danny did. There was a blue glowing coming from under his clothes. "I'm not going in either. I sense it too. Danger. Lots of it. It's so powerful that all my protective magic can only warn me to stay away." He said, unaware that his sigla was warning him of Danny, not anything in the room.

Amei felt her neck tingle and glanced over her shouilder at Danny, gulping when she saw his foul glare. Wincing she turned back to the receptionist slowly. oh damn, I'm in for it now. I know he's plotting something evil "Soooo....who are you?" she asked trying to take her mind off Danny and his revenge. "My name is Zelanda* and I'm one of the staff here. I teach astrology part time and also work here in the office. Now I need all of you here in the office so you can sign the registration form so I know who has arrived and who hasn't." she said handing a sheet of paper towards Amei. Once signing it she walked out of the room and handed it to Danny tentatively. "Here. Sign it. Quickly."
*((Ember: Oh yeah!))

((Dude, Zerrer posted and we didn't even see! DDDD8 Sorry T_T ))
Danny glowered at her, his eyes flickering with blue fire, before snatching the form out of her hands. "Thank you soooooo much. Now go get one for him too, SOME of us don't instantly trust people we don't know." At that, he glared pointedly at Sprout. Sprout pouted sulkily.
((Your turn BF :3 *logs out*))
