woops, is she at the dorm or..kidnapped-
π: 0 β©: 2
From the other side of the dorm room which was lit with small yellow lights hanging from the tree, Skell slowly rose from her sleeping position, scratching her head as her hair stuck out in different directions, making her resemble a porcupine. She rubs her eyes, yawning. "Yeah, I'm still alive.." She mumbles loudly.
π: 0 β©: 1
There was a silent pauseas she struggled and shuffled under the blankets, then sat on her bed with the green sheets draped over her entire form. She hacked a cough, "I dont think I can make it to classes today" A sniffle. "Do you mind telling the professors the reason behind my absence?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell stands up and swept some of her hair back before yawning softly. She walks over to Jamie's bed and places a hand over her head, "Sure, take care while I'm out later, will ya?" She chuckles softly, patting Jamie gently. "I'll go make some tea."

"Thank you." Her voice went hoarse at the last word. She coughed and repeated her words but it still went silent on the second word, she shrugged it off. She laid back down, groaning and rubbing her face as, it felt hot to touch. She was almost sure that she would scare Skell if she saw how she was right now, considering the burning sensation running through her eyes and nose. The sickness really reminded her of the old times. She'll take her temperature and medicine when Skell leaves.

Tying up her hair in a large, messy bun, Skell climbs down the tree of their room, going down to grab some tea. As she left some water to heat up in the kettle, she sits down on a chair, her elbow propped up on the table while her chin rested on her palm. Her mind drifted off, and her anxiety kicks in. Jamie had been her roommate and friend for..months? And a good one, too. Skell always had a scare when she'd just hear Jamie coughing or sneezing, or even if she'd catch her staying up late, worried she might faint the next day. She groans at one thought haunting her, What if I lose Jamie? She buries her head in her hands, knowing she was about to cry already when the kettle whistled. She stood up and proceeded to pour the water into a thermos.
//casually puts some emotional shiet nyohoho

// YESSS BRING ON THE TEARSSSSS
moments after Skell had transferred the tea into the thermos, loud thumps of footsteps could be heard as Jamie climbed down the stairs, rushing to the toilet and slamming the door shut. Desperate heaving along with sounds of water violently coming in contact with the toilet bowl could be heard. A few coughs followed on. She stepped out of the bathroom, her complexion was paler than usual, with a greenish-blue undertone, her hair covered her face. She groaned tiredly, "I must've ate something bad." she pinched the bridge of her nose, her usual formal composure was gone, her back was slumped, with her head down. She started to walk back up the stairs again. "You should head to school soon, its like, past 8 am."

Adding a teaspoon of dried lavender into a cup poured with hot water in, Skell glances at Jamie from the corner of her eye and sighs silently, worried. "Nah, I'd rather stay here for a while than having to deal with Math." She mumbles, covering the cup with a small plate to let it seep. She walks towards the fridge and grabs one of her bottled energy drinks, all of them containing some of the chemicals she needed. She closes the fridge and pops off the cap of the bottle, inserting a straw in before starting to sip. "You better go back to bed and get some rest," She says through her teeth, still occupied with sipping from her drink. "Your tea will be ready in a few minutes."

She replied with a groan, but suppressed it with a involuntary sob. She headed to the medcine cabinet, shaking empty pill containers. Right, she ran out last month when she was flooded with projects. Should she ask skell to get some more? Or go herself? Stella wouldnt allow her to go out alone like this, probably. "Skell? Could you get some cold medication for me from the school's office or something?" She felt bad for asking, hell, she felt TERRIBLE. "Sorry." How did she get this sick again? She did drink water from the bottle she would always leave at her lab cubicle---oh. Anyone couldve poisoned it. ((HMM I WONDER WHO????))
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell nods, setting the bottle down on the counter before taking off the saucer that covered the cup, the scent of lavender tea filling the air. "Sure thing." She sets the teacup down on the center of the small coffee table in their room, "I'll go change." Skell says as she walks inside the bathroom. In a few minutes she was already out and changed into her uniform, her hair tied up neatly and straightened. "You sure you'll be fine while I'm gone?" She looks at Jamie, putting on her jacket after buttoning up her vest, stretching her right arm which had just recovered.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
"Mmm, yeah." The worst that could happen right now was having side effects and suffering alone, what else could go wrong? "I'll pay you when you get back." She sniffled, leaning against the railing of the platform as she waved a quick goodbye to Stella, her side bangs acted like a mask, parts of her pale face leaked from behind it.
Jamie immediately fell back to her bed after Skell had left the room. Deciding that she should try to sleep off the nauseousness. She had finally attained the stage of drowsiness before she heard the door creak open again. "Skell?" That was fast. She tries to get up but it felt like she was being weighed down or paralyzed. "Agh--Sorry I cant move right now" She slurred the last few words, the only reply she got was silence. But was greeted once again with a familiar face and chloroform. The man had then shuffled through the dorm, flipping through belongings of the fellow yellow classed roommate, polaroids, pictures, memories, vials of odd substances, etc. He was rather intrigued by what her history could be, but that was enough time stalled. He quickly threw his daughter over his shoulder, stuffing her pillows under her covers on the bed to act as a temporary dummy as a small surprise for the roommate. He wondered how long it would take for her to find out, as well as the reaction she would give to this.

aaaaaaaa)
After Skell finishes her first two classes, she stopped by at the clinic and took some medicine as Jamie had requested, before taking her time to talk to some friends. In the back of her mind, she was already worried, and the familiar feeling of her gut feeling twisted made her worrying even go worse. She excuses herself from her friends before running to the dorm building, praying that Jamie was fine. She steps in their room and calls out, "Jamie?" She walks up the tree of their room. "I got you your medicine." She sees her roommate on her bed and sighs in relief. At least she was resting.She then looks over to her side of the room and blinks. "What the fuck?" She walks up and scans her bed and her desk, it looked like a storm had gone through. "Coal?" She hears the familiar meows of her cat, and turns around. "Girl, did you mess up my stuff? Bad kitty." She frowns, Β squatting down to Coal's level. The cat hisses and scratches Skell's arm. "What the, hey-" Coal hisses once more and jumps to Jamie's bed. "Oh no, don't disturb her." She shushes Coal. Coal rolls her eyesΒ and digs her claws into the sheets, tearing them off to reveal pillows. And no Jamie. Skell stood frozen. "Putain."

o fuck i forgot ABOUT COAL,,, LETS JST SAY THAT COAL only watched the last part of him hiding the pillows bc coal was sleeping,,,, oops im sorry coAL//
Chair, rope, the typical kidnapper routine. He had everything planned in mind as he drove back into his little cabin basement that was located out of nowhere in the suburbs. Integorration followed by mental and physical trauma was what he greeted Jamie with right after she woke up. Honestly, he already knew mostly everything about her by going through the schools papers and Stellas photos, those were enough to determine their relationship and what was required to ruin everything. Yet, he still asked Jamie the same questions, giving him the chance to bloody up her nose, take small parts of her body away and rust her artificial arm.
A package was thrown to Stellas dorm doorway the next day. The exterior was decorated with silly neon ribbons and child like drawings, what was left inside was just a ziplock bag containing a fingernail with some of the skin still intact, as well as a schools record of Stella's personal information, a tape recorder which played noises of screeching of metals, muffled screaming and unidentified sounds. Lovely. He has so many more packages to send.

are we gonna stay up all night making jamie meet her demise :"D go to sleep omg //
Skell spent the night worrying herself out, often calling her sister or a friend to make them assure her Jamie was safe and probably had a reason to go out while she was sick...Right? There was definitely a reason, right. Right. She told those words to herself, and as she ate her breakfast the next morning, she saw a small box by her doorway. "Ugh, don't tell me it's another one of those secret admirer bull." she groans, standing up from her seat. She picks up the box in her arms and looks at it with a wtf expression. "From Jamie? Uh, what the hell?" She then smiles. "Oooh, this must be a prank, haha.." She laughs softly to herself, undoing the ribbons. "Oh Jamie, you sweet little-" As she opens the package, the first thing she saw was a bloody fingernail inside a ziplock bag."..nerd.." Of all the nights she spent with Jamie doing stupid teenager shit; taking selfies, telling ghost stories til they were scared shitless, stuffing themselves in food or tea, and sometimes, doing each other's nails. And that nail looked way too familiar.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
The next day, another parcel was sent again. Decorated with the ironic ribbons, inside contained a small chunk of red blob (probably a slice of meat), and a photo of a man holding up a peace sign with his index and middle finger next to a familiar visage. Jamies head was tilted to the side, as if trying to avoid the camera. Even with only one side of her face, it was obvious that she had been treated badly, bloody nose, black eye, and forming bruises. Just flesh and a photo. Nothing else. Jamie felt so miserable having that photo taken, she knew it would worry stella even more or make her furious. Skell didnt deserve anymore pain.

//crawls in from the depths of hell
Yo dawg nice character. :'0
Ellie walks around the school, through myraids of hallways and rooms with a notepad in hand and a pen tucked behind her ear. She was determined to get to know how the majority of the students were, all in the name of journaling her experiences here for future preference. At this moment, she was analyzing a specific student of the yellow class. She isn't sure whether the girl had noticed her or not due to the shades that veiled her eyes. "Now does she ever take those off?" Ellie asks with slight frustration in her curiosity as she peeks from behind a wall towards the student.
π: 0 β©: 1
//aaaA THANKS SO MUCH!! <3 (;β
As the student she was talking to was currently whining endlessly about how boring Math class was, Skell glances at an unfamiliar face staring at her intently with frustration. 'Must be new', she thought. It wasn't unusual for her that she'd catch new faces staring at her, of course, wearing shades inside a building was weird enough that people would wonder why she even wears those.
"Anyway, I have to go, bye Skell! See you later!" Her best friend waved as he went off inside a classroom, Skell waving back with a chuckle. "Bye, King!"
Turning to face where the new student was at, she smiles politely. "Need something?"
π: 0 β©: 1
Ellie continues to watch, her hand scribbling vigorous notes on the two as she listens to every word exchanged with caution. How many pages it had been? 3? 4? Ellie wondered on so far, that she was unaware that the yellow student had already spotted her. Extenuating her daydream, she looked back at Skell, her blood turning to ice as an abashing blush flushed her cheeks. "A-Ah! Nothing at all dear! I was well...um you see..." Ellie faded off into contemplating mumbles for a period of time, attempting to find an excuse why she was there in the middle of the day stalking the girl. Ellie couldn't come up with any and so she released a sigh of defeat. "Mm...pardon me for my nosy behavior dear. I just happened to pass you through the hallways and I felt as if I'd like to know you better. Though, you always seem to be with someone and it makes me quite anxious and..." Ellie mumbles off again before shaking her head and stepping out of her corner. "Anyways, salutations!" Ellie exclaims, bowing her head as she crossed her hands behind her back, "I'm Ellie, I've recently been admitted to this academy and I'd like to know you better, Miss Skell."
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell waves her hands, laughing softly. It was rare for her to come across someone so polite. "Hey, no need to put the Miss in, Skell's just fine!" She smiles at Ellie and holds out her robotic hand for Ellie to shake. "Welcome to the school, Ellie. And sure, no prob. I'd be glad to hang out with a new student."Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Ellie let's a small, soft anticlimactic scream, a mixture of excitement from talking with the new student and the reticence of confronting her without a solid plan of what to say exactly. She reaches for Skell'd hand, realizing that it was no such thing as paint or the other fantasies that Ellie had brainstormed of. It was cool to the touch and Ellie could practically FEEL the workmanship put into it. "So it IS real," Ellie said under her breath in satisfaction before looking back to Skell's eyes, or where they should be, that is. "Apologies dear! Tis' but a simple formality that I've grown attached to," Ellie explains briefly before thanking Skell for making time for Ellie's company. "So, Miss Skell, how has the school been for yourself? Do you enjoy what you do in the yellow class? I hear some of the individuals are quite more lively than others," Ellie chuckles.
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell beams up at Ellie, quite surprised on how well-mannered she was. The really tall students she'd met were usually those who liked to pick on others, so this was new. And relieving. "Proxy High? Well, I've been happy with my time here. If I wasn't here right now, I'd be out in the woods dead." Skell laughs, even though the thought of being dead out in the woods was of course, horrifying. "Being in Yellow class, hmm.." She ponders for a moment before continuing. "I've had a few problems being in this class, but it's really fun going out on missions with others, also the time we spend together in the gym training. Just like you said, it's lively always hanging out with my fellow Yellows. Though, I have to admit, I'm not as lively as the others," Skell shrugs, smiling. "I prefer being chill and not going all hyper all the time, it takes too much of my energy." She straightens her shades. "Anyway, how is the school for you?"
π: 0 β©: 1
"Wouldn't we all? Though, the woods would probably be better than other places wouldn't you think?" Ellie proposes, "There are quite a few queer realms that aren't the most pleasant to spend your remaining hours in after all. That is, if you believe in them!" Ellie then nods her head in agreement after Skell speaks of the yellow class, which was something quite the opposite of what she'd expect. "How lively are we talking about here Miss Skell? And if you had to, could you be as energetic as they are? It's really strange as I see it, a lady of serene orientation like yours to be in the academy's deadliest class," Ellie says in her own amazement, eyes wandering off before Skell grabbed her back with a question. "Ah, the school is just marvelous! I find all the people and abandoned shenanigans fun to investigate, especially when I have a chance of finding the man of my dreams who was said to come here in this very school!" Ellie rambles as she clasps her fingers together, her posture reminding you of a princess who was swooning about a prince charming.
π: 0 β©: 1
"If you're wondering how lively our class is, well-" Skell was cut off her statement when behind from where Ellie stood, a classroom's door got kicked down to the floor, a Yellow student running out, cackling while holding a small book with the word 'diary' labeled on it. Another student of the same class got out of the room, growling and looking both ways before finding the previous student and taking off in inhumane speed. "That lively." Skell points out, laughing. She blushes a light yellow at Ellie's comment of her being 'serene', and was about to reply, telling Ellie she wasn't serene as she seemed when the phrase 'man of my dreams' caught her attention. She smirks, raising a brow. "So, who is this guy, then?" She asks with a teasing tone.
π: 0 β©: 1
"Oh my!" Ellie blurted with wide eyes, a hand over her mouth as she watched the two go off, a series of loud crashes following after their disappearance around the corner. She let's out a little, joyous chuckle of her own before blushing at Skell's amusement with those words. "A-Ah yes...." Ellie says nervously with a gulp, "It's well..."
"It's my father," Ellie said blatantly with a bashful smile. This smile soon began to fade as she realized that Skell mistook Ellie in thinking of another "man of her dreams" She quickly shakes her hands. "N-Not in that way! Oh dear..." she muttered before laughing nervously. "It's complicated...but not in that way!" Ellie persisted with a pointed finger to the ceiling and a face as red as a tomato (or blue???)
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell blinks. "Oh." She laughs sheepishly and runs a hand through her hair. "Sorry, I thought you meant it in another way, woops." Skell laughs again, nervous that she had made this decent conversation take an awkward turn.Β
"Anyway, who is your father, if I may ask?" Skell questions, wanting to remove the awkward aura between them.
(ohoho btw, skell's blood is actually yellow :0 I wasnt making her blush yellow just bc she is in the class color)
π: 0 β©: 1
"Oh it's alright darling!" Ellie said with a chuckle, "I could see how you went under that impression! I must watch my vocabulary next time now should I?" She sighs off the laugh. "Ah...it's not as if someone of my type would find love anyhow. Please, I've just arrived!" Ellie rambles off before looking back at Skell. "Trust me dear, you're fine, haha."
Ellie shakes her head. "That's what I'm here to find out. He was an explorer of many worlds,Β you see. He was once a student here as well!" She lowers her hand, excusing her manners as she clasped her hands together. "What about you, Miss Skell? Do you have any bizarre family members? Any one of them contributed in that meticulous arm you have, I find it quite interesting. It's rare to see a cyborg in a place like this."
(( OMG really?! :00 Howww * ^ * Main reason I ask is because it reminds me of Captor's blood ORZ ))
π: 0 β©: 1
"Wow, he sounds amazing." Skell smiles at Ellie before she then asked her a question, one she was always unsure of what to reply. She didn't want to give any personal information away just yet, but a little would be okay, she thought. "Ah, my family? Actually, I don't.." She clears her throat. "..remember any of my real family. I was adopted and this thing," She raises her arm. "Was used to replace my broken arm when I was seven."
(( It's an effect from all the experiments done on her, including the liquids she has to take in to keep her healthy. She started at a young age and those chemicals had like, merged with her blood?? Dunno XD ))
π: 0 β©: 1
"Mmm..." Ellie agrees as she leans against one of the lockers. "I see..." Ellie said as guilt filled her once she noticed she had passed the line, "Sorry for asking of something so personal dear! What terrible things you must have been through..." Ellie sighs and laughs weakly. "It seems as if many have gone through each of a hell of their own to be here. Heh, it makes me feel guilty to mope on about my own things...there are so many things to be grateful about, don't you think? Especially..." Ellie takes out a letter and looks down at it, "...people. Since you never know if one of your own would disappear the next day. Quite literally in my situation. Have you heard of a yellow student by the name of Jake?"
π: 0 β©: 1
"Well, we have to at least talk to someone if we're feeling upset." Skell notices the letter Ellie had pulled out and tilts her head in a questioning manner. "Jake?" She bites the inside of her cheek, trying to recall. "Oh, yeah...him." Skell furrows her brows. "Man, he passed away so soon.."
π: 0 β©: 1
"You have a point dear," Ellie agrees with a small nod. "Though I did expect a few passings as I stayed, I never expected one to come so soon," Ellie cooes softly. Although she looked intently at the letter, there was something cold about how Ellie when she mentioned the yellow proxy's passing. Though, it couldn't be helped, as an adventurer, Ellie wasn't the one to attach to others so quickly. The blue proxy takes a quick inhale as she slips the letter away with a shake of her head. "Well, either way, we try to protect who's most important to us right?" Ellie looks up with a smile, "Do you have a few~? Judging by how you are around here, I can say you've been around for quite some time; enough time to make more than a few... acquaintances." Ellie finishes with a devious glint in her eyes, her eyebrows raised in suspicion that Skell would have a...specific someone she'd be willing to protect.
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell chuckles, a light blush adorning her cheeks. "Well, even though I've been around here for a year, I've only made a few friends." She smiles, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "But, they're a lot like family to me, and I think I'd never be the same again if I did lose them.." She sighs, a bit sadly. "Even though they are capable of protecting themselves, I get kinda paranoid at times." Skell laughs, rubbing the back of her neck.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
"A protective one, aren't you?" Ellie says with awe, a knuckle pressed lightly against her cheek, "Well just you know, my dear, that although there is no threat in watching over who you love, perhaps there are times one must face their own challenges alone; for their own growth, that is. A friend knows you as you are, understands where you've been, accepts what you've become, and still, gently allows you to grow. Even the mother bird must step aside to watch her chicks abscond in flight, even if they do not succeed on their first try." After her lengthy response, Ellie notices that the world had grown dark, only to realize that she had closed her eyes midway through her short speech. She then allows her eyelids to open, revealing wide eyes accommodated with a peppy smile. "Ah, the things literature can teach you! Are you a favorite of books, Miss Skell?"
π: 0 β©: 1
A smile found its way to her lips after hearing Ellie's reply. In their few minutes of conversation, Skell felt relaxed around Ellie, as if she was the type who'd read a child a good storybook with her soothing voice and then pat them gently to sleep, ah, like a mother. ( skell ur needy child self is showing ) She finds herself thinking of her own mother and her smile became a little sad, only for her to perk up at Ellie's question. "Books? Er, I don't read that much but I do love reading from time to time." She says, her chill, cheerful smile plastered back on her face.

Lacerate (this little shit phoenixofwildfires.deviantart.β¦ ) is wandering the school campus. He looks a slightly on edge, but nearly jumps out of his skin when he rounds a corner and nearly runs into a yellow class girl.
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell was strolling through the campus, headphones in as she hummed to a Chainsmokers song, about to head back inside to go get some food from the cafeteria when she turned and almost bumps into a student from the Green class. She stood there and took off her headphones before looking at him. "Sorry about that, man."
π: 0 β©: 1
"No, no, it's alright," Lacerate exclaimed. "I was the one who walked into you." He had nearly dropped the textbook he was carrying and wasΒ favoringΒ his right leg, something very unusual for him.
π: 0 β©: 1
Skell sighed in relief, thankful this guy wasn't some mean buff that would probably kill her for just walking into him. She looks at him, and realizes she does not know this student. "Um, Skell from Yellow Class - obviously - you are..?" She tries to make her tone polite and well, professional..but instead sounds like her usual casual self. At least she doesn't sound awkward
π: 0 β©: 1
Lacerate knew that yellow class students were more prone to violence than the others at the school, so he was slightly thankful that he didn't get his head smashed into a wall. Of course, it'd be better than dealing with whatever that thing he had ran into in the hallway was. "The name I go by here is Lacerate, Lace for short. It's, uh, nice to meet you." The words felt forced and awkward.
π: 0 β©: 1
"More like bumping into me, ha - I mean, likewise, Lace." She mentally slapped herself for her first statement, hoping she didn't sound like an idiot in front of this guy. It was then she realized she was blocking Lacerate from wherever he was heading to. "Ah, sorry about that. So um, where are you heading to?"
π: 0 β©: 1
(Why on earth do I keep leaving messages unanswered for this long? It's becoming a bad habit of mine.)
Lacerate smiled weakly. There might as well have been a sound of fabric tearing because few smiles ever make it through his RBF. "It's fine, it's very fine," he said, as awkwardly as the other student. "I was about to head to my next class, but..." he freaked out momentarily. "I heard a rustling, and felt something bite me in the leg. I turned around and nothing was there."
(RPs that just have the two characters talking tend to go nowhere. I'm going to do something completely out of left field with this one.)
π: 0 β©: 1
"Is...your leg okay, though?" She asked, leaning a bit to look over. It was normal for her to be concerned about other students, but she was more concerned on the fact that this guy was bitten and the cause of it was nowhere to be found.Β
(I often reply late as well,so don't worry ^^ )
π: 0 β©: 1
"It's aching right now, but I can walk and I've been hurt worse. If it's really that bad, we'll know in a few hours" Lacerate laughed and then his face fell into the thousand yard state of a man who's seen too much. "It seemed to be something on the smaller side."

Nice! Love the outfit!Β
Redicca: Hmm... I've seen you around before...

Thank you ^^Β
Skell: *removes her headphones and looks at Reddica, giving her a small smile* Β Well,I do tend to walk around often. *She stopped leaning on the wall to stand up, bandaged hand in pocket as she held out her robotic one* Skell. You are?

Red: Redicca. *shakes her hand then let's go* cool, robotic arm. Let me guess. You were a subject of torture or accident.
