    The Rishnaran: I'm no god. I'm a writer. You may call me Rishnaran, unless you would prefer my true name. As to what I do all day? Nothing too different from you. Days in my time are not the same as those in the world I've created.
    Dav: Are witches a different species? I thought it just meant female wizard.
    Also, why is the ceiling here so comfortably high if I'm the only one over seven feet tall here?

    Amy: LOL! If I was one of the Good Guys, I wouldn't be a serial killer!

    Dusty: I've lost count of the people I've killed, but that doesn't make me a bad guy... its just business, not personal. I'm an assassin though, not a serial killer.

    Maddox: Cool, assassin-in-training. Well, I've... uh... killed a... few... people? [clears throat awkwardly and moves to the wall] I've got... [eyes Dav] magic, I guess. Elemental magic. [grins] I specialize in Earth. And by that, I mean that I can only do Earth-stuff. [to Amy] Well, it depends on where you're from, in my opinion. And your intent... I mean, if you kill people for fun, I'll just stay right here, out of your way. Heh. :bigconfused:

    Dusty : I specialise in .45 handguns, and knives, - a can do the appearance of natural causes if the client really wants, but it's so tiresome modifying defibrillators

    *Nina has left the conversation*

    *Rosseweisse catches on fire*


    Rosseweisse: Oh so there are bad people in here.

    Vinya: Calm down, flame-girl, nobody's getting hurt.

    Rosseweisse: Yeah, well they look like the type of thugs that hang around my sister, and I'm not taking chances.

    Vinya: Seriously, why does everyone in Lemming's stories have f*cked up relationships with their siblings? I have an emotionally-abusive older brother who still tries to mess with my life even though I'm an adult, and a depressive older sister who refuses to stick up for me, and a bunch of complexes about needing to take care of people I see as little sisters. Who does that to a character?

    Rosseweisse: You poor, sweet summer child. My sister's a crazy supernatural neo-Nazi who's been trying to chase me down and eliminate me for the last eight hundred years.

    Vinya: Okay, yeah, you win.

    Sinead: Wow! There are witches AND dragons in here!

    Vinya: *facepalm*

    Amy: OH MY GOD ME TOO!!! My friends and I just found out about magic, and we'll also be learning about an Elemental school first!

    I'm going to be taking Earth and Fire, and in this school of magic, those combine for Metal which is also good for strength; Charlie's going to be learning Earth and Water, which combine to make Crystal magic which is also good for healing; and Alec is going to be learning Air, Fire, and Water, Air and Fire making Lightning for speed and Air and Water making Ice for ... OK, that one really doesn't have as good theme as Metal, Crystal, and Lightning do.

    Amy: I actually started doing it for therapy: PTSD is about powerlessness, and beating guys unconscious and cutting them open for the power rush took the worst of the edge off. The endorphins always wore off pretty soon after I finished and I went back to feeling like shit, but I always felt less shitty than I would've if I hadn't. I was also living on the streets at the time, and this let me raid their refrigerators.

    That's also how I met Charlie, you want to take this?

    Charlie: I saw her kill someone.

    Amy: ... That's all you got? You shitting me?

    Charlie: That is what happened, isn't it?

    Amy: Yeah, but you could go into more detail than that!

    Charlie: I saw her kill someone with a knife.

    Amy: Oh my God, fine! Strip club owner sees me in the street and tries to pressure me into working for him, so I pretend to be convinced by his "personal audition at his place" pitch.

    So while I'm in his bed, on top of what's left of his body, stark naked so I don't have to wash any clothing, suddenly some crazy chick with a gun bursts in looking for him -

    Charlie: Hold on, I'm the crazy one?

    Amy: I'm going to ignore that. Anyway, I start to panic, but then Charlie bursts out laughing when she sees that the guy's not available for what she was just yelling about. Charlie tries to back out promising not to tell anybody, but then we get talking -

    Charlie: In spite of my best efforts.

    Amy: - and she tells me that she'd been trying to get a job in the guy's crack coke operation, he'd been stringing her along, and she finally decided to force the issue once and for all.

    Charlie: Only by now you could dip chips in the guy. I mention that I should be able to start my own business to fill in the vaccuum, and then she asks if I need any muscle.

    Amy: What? I needed a job!

    Charlie: And I apparently needed the Richmond Ripper on speed-dial.

    Amy: Fun fact: I haven't actually killed anybody as the Ripper in a while. Once I had a steady paycheck as Charlie's enforcer, I was able to afford therapy and a place to live, and let me tell you, group sessions and anti-anxiety meds are a hell of a lot better for PTSD than serial murder ever was.

    Charlie: Though she does make it look like she's still doing it independently.

    Amy: Yup! Whenever possible, I do the old "Knock him out, cut him open, and take a shower in the house" MO to make it look like a serial killing, rather than a business hit done by a serial killer.

    Charlie: (yawn) We done yet?

    Amy: Not even close! First someone says they can do Earth magic like I'll be able to, and while we were talking someone else said that they can also do fire! Why would you want to leave now?

    Charlie: To get back to work?

    Aidan : Did someone mention Dark Fire ?

    Dusty : no, no one cares about your nickname, anyway he's writing my story first

    Aidan: *unsheaves 'Trollsbane'*

    Dusty: *Cocks .45 Kimber ultra carry*

    Blade: Calm the F down the pair of you, he's writing my story first, then Dusty's then yours Aidan - now go and kill a troll or something and relax.

    Helen Chert: <listening to Amy and Charlie> "Magic? Tell me more."

    Mishu Jerni: "I can do magic! Watch!" <makes a small shimmering light orb between her hands, shoots it into the air to create a bright light source> "Ta-daaaaa!"

    Kevin McKinley: "Really? No wands?"

    Mishu Jerni: "Why would we need that? The risk of losing a wand is too great. Then you're basically powerless."

    Kevin McKinley: "Well, I like wands." <walks to the other characters> "Look, if you're afraid we're evil -- we're not. I'm just an ordinary college student! Helen over there is the captain of a starship!"

    Helen Chert: "You solve murder mysteries, Kevin. I would hardly call that 'ordinary'."

    Amos Garnier: "You've an odd definition of 'ordinary', Kevin."

    Mishu Jerni: "Hold on, shouldn't there be more characters coming?"

    Amos Garnier: "Now I'm really confused. Are we literally in a room with everyone else or...?"

    Dav: My dad has a wand. He's a wizard. You don't need a wand to do magic, but apparently it conserves energy.

    The Rishnaran: Please do not swear.
    Dav: You keep using that word. What does it mean?
    The Rishnaran: Do not tell him. Put the gun away, he won't hurt you.

    Cira : Twenty gold pieces and a small urn for your ashes *turns into an owl and flies off*

    The Rishnaran: Our characters are invincible here. At least, mine are.
    Dav: [gets down on knees to see gun better] What is that?

    Dusty : (shouting to Blade) Oi Bro , do you have any of those anti tank rockets left ?

    Blade : No mate, we used them all when the clans tried to force the wall... you'd be best off seeing if it's friendly. If it's not remember you don't have t outrun the dragon, you just have to out run Aidan. :D

    Aidan : *impolite gesture*

    Dusty: (offering hand) "who's a nice fire breathing monster then , come to dusty.."

    Blade : rolls eyes

    Vanna: Well, here, magic is very versatile. I've been talking about it with Dad and Ophelia, and there are two ways of doing magic: you can say an incantation over a potion - which is for more complicated spells, such as the Summoning Spell (which is how I got here in the first place) - or you can just say an incantation, which is obviously for simpler spells, such as flames to light candles and that (although most people just use matches - no-one really uses magic if they can avoid it, it's often quicker to do things like that without it).

    You know, we should have a Magic Society. Only not on Monday, because that's when I have Country Dancing. Or on Tuesday lunchtimes, because that's School Orchestra. Or after school, because it's School Choir. Or on Wednesdays, because that's Handicrafts. Or Thursdays, because Drama Soc.'s on. Enid loves it so much that she stayed on, even though she's not in charge any more. Gatty is, and she's a simply fabulous actress. On Fridays, it's Lit. Soc. and on Saturday mornings, it's Guides, and in the afternoon, it's hiking and cycling on alternate weeks. Hmm, lunchtimes. On Thursdays I have my singing lessons and Miss Lappet said that I could have the Music room every Friday to practise my guitar. I also have piano lessons on Mondays. So, that just leaves Wednesdays. I'll talk to Miss Annis about starting one. I know someone who could run it.

    There's lots to do at St. Edith's. I'm also part of Film Soc., which runs trips to the cinema every Saturday evening and then we talk about the film over ice cream. It's the best society ever. Apart from all the other top-hole socs.

    The Rishnaran: My dragons are not monsters. I recently decided to give them firebreathing powers, though, so watch yourself. Besides, look at him. Dav's less than twelve feet tall. He's not that hard to take down. And he's only thirty-two. You wouldn't shoot a teenager, would you?
    Dav: "Nice fire-breathing monster"? Outrun? What are you talking about? I feel insul-- Wait. I'm speaking your language. I just realized I'm speaking your language. I have the gift of tongues. And yes, of course I'm friendly. I love daktars. Well, not that you're daktars... Are you?

    Maddox: I've decided that I like the serial killer. [grins] Well... it's not elemental magic as much as it is a sort of... superpower. I guess. There's no sparkly sparkles, but I've been told my eyes go all glowy and my pupils disappear. [points at eyes] They used to be dark brown. Now they're all forest-ey green. I'm part of an elemental team.. ish... thing. Skye's wind (I f*cking love irony, don't you?), Issa's water, and Rei's fire. Then there's Jayden, who controls Time, he's an a**hole, and Leo, who can control Metal. He shouldn't exist. It's complicated.

    We joke about making an Avatar: the Last Airbender movie that doesn't suck. But we're sort of stuck in an underdeveloped country and their military is hiding us from the public in an ancient temple. ...That may or may not be the reason I haven't had a proper hamburger in five years... sh*t, I want a burger... >_>

    [looks away] I wonder where my team is... actually, I know where they are. I wonder where I am. That's better.

    Maddox: Wait. Hold up. Invincible?! :D THAT'S SO FU-- [clears throat] Um. That's cool.

    Dav, do you have any questions?

    Maddox: [mutters] Sh*t, boy, I'm scared of him, if only because he's probably like... dunno, nine, ten feet tall? [normal voice] Uh, sure... To be honest, you should be... uh, scared of me. Yeah. I can crush this place... whatever it is... with the ground. [shrugs] I'm bad at motivational speeches. And telling people what to do. [jumps, noticing Rosseweisse] D*mn girl, calm down. I just got away from Rei, don't need to meet another one. o_O No one wants to hurt the dragon. [eyes Aidan and Dusty] I hope.

    [leans against the wall] So, uh, how old is everyone here? I'm nineteen.

    I say, Rosseweisse, why do you keep catching fire?
