Threads of change (Closed/Shadows) « Thread Started on Jun 30, 2009, 9:57am »
OOC: This says park, but it starts there and ends up here. So I am posting it here as this is an opening.
Classes had ended early for her and Naomi had decided to spend until the evening in the park, here she was more at peace than inside the academy or at the small apartment she shared with London. She hated being asked why she dressed like a witch, then again it should be obvious to those who asked when she gave them an annoyed look and then walked off. Though today somebody had annoyed her more than usual and she left without her partner, quickly and quietly so that she could dream about her parents. Slipping on her headphones she lay against the tree, opening her book to the page she left it on and started to read. Something bothered her lately, there was a tension in the air when somebody mentioned witch. She was only about as strong as an apprentice, as she had never gotten past that before that night.
Somebody approached her and kicked her foot, she didn't recognize him and looked up with one eye. Sighing she stood up and moved to another location, only to be disturbed again. After the third time she cleared her throat and finally spoke to him, as nicely as she could. "Don't you know when somebody wants to read in peace, whatever business you have with me is it that important." The man only dropped a note for her and then vanished, like he was never there. Opening the note she found it was an invitation for tea by somebody she did not know, though they claimed to be her aunt on her mother side. There was an address which was near the park in the housing area, so she decided she would bite but wait for London to find her.
OOC: This is for a character I will make for the main plot, yes a relative whose side is unclear but has no intention to harm her. This is just going to be like a cameo appearance before I make her.

The time between the time that classed start and class ended seemed to be a swish or so felt London as soon as she walked out of the classroom. She probably felt this way due to her only paying half attention due to her new book. This new book about the adventure of a knight and a princess seem to be keeping London distracted from many things around her an when she looked out from her book for one second she noticed that her partner was gone. This was probably her own fault or so thought London in her head. If she hadn’t been day dreaming or reading her book she probably would have noticed Naomi leaving. Guess this was her punishment for paying attention to other things. London sighed to herself and decided to go back to the classroom and see if she was there. As soon as London peaked into the room, she saw that no one was there and sighed again. She wonder where could Naomi be.
Oh where could Naomi be…. London kept repeating as she left the school and started to wander around the streets. She kept saying this out loud until some random person told London she saw Naomi heading to the park. London thanked this man with a low toned thank you and headed towards there. London headed towards the park and as soon as she got there, she started to look for her. “What would Naomi be doing?” London said to herself as she wandered around looking.

Pacing Naomi saw London and decided to whistle sharply, so to get her attention. She was amazed at how distracted she got, though it was never like that when it counted as they could both be focused. Walking over she snapped her book shut, making sure not to let the picture slide out. "This is the only place in the city I am truly at peace, London do you ever think that things happen for a reason." She started off with as she glanced at the note, and signature on the bottom. She did not like to talk of her past, let alone be faced with it without getting upset and taking off. Still she had to see if this was some sick prank, or this person was who she said she was. Placing it into her pocket she wondered what after that, go home and study or stay out and eat something good.
"I was getting bored here waiting, someone wants to have us for tea. It seems I'm on the radar again, maybe I shouldn't have healed that bird the other day." She said with a shake of her head, knowing that she was too nice at times and she couldn't save every small animal she found wounded and that alerted witches that she was one of them while still being part human. Though she found herself often acting like her mother would. Perhaps she couldn't run from her past, like she wanted to by avoiding it. Looking to the place which overlooked the park she wondered how long she had been watched, still she would not hesitate to go and see what this was about. "Care to go? I'm sure if she is my family then it'll be safe, if not then we'll be ready for a quick escape."

When Naomi started to speak with London, she didn’t pay attention to her for a couple of seconds and then once she noticed her, she kept quiet because she was speaking. She wondered what was her partner was doing without her so she wandered into her head for a second and then she came back to reality so she started to pay attention to Naomi. “ Who really knows if things actually happen for a reason, I remember reading a book about how destiny what set by a diving being while another book said that we choice how things come out. Though in another book the hero says he chooses his destiny to save the girl… a truly romantic book….” London said wandering in her head again but she instantly came back. “ Sorry….”
“Tea? In another book I read there is some tea etiquette you must follow or be gossiped about later… But If you really would like to go…. I’ll go…..” London said this each word lowering in tone. Her shyness was kicking in again. She was probably going to be a quiet girl in this tea party just nodding politely or shaking her head. She wondered who was going to be there though. How they would react to her. This made her shyer to the point of just standing there now and not going to this party.

Naomi listened as she thought, and London's words made her think about it a little. Her thoughts on why things happened were a little mixed, though she did want to believe that she has a choice. "I'd rather make my own choices, but even if destiny sucks one forward they can change it if their will is strong enough." She was always looking to the future, and if this was of the past she did not want to face it despite the fact it obviously bothered her. "Etiquette is important, but so is watching your back. You don't have to say much, don't worry." She then headed to the address, calm as day and looking like she had serious questions and was not going to accept lies.
Once there she knocked on the door to the house, and waited until the door opened and a woman stood there. She looked like her mother, but was also different and more mysterious and yet open. "As expected, I knew your weapon would come too. Please come in, I expect you to have alot of questions." She then stepped back and let them enter, retreating to a room off to the left with three seats and tea waiting. The lighting was all by candles and the windows were closed of by curtains, though it was apparent that this was the home of a witch who seemed to know more than she let on. Once Naomi was seated and she had focused on the host, the woman introduced herself to them both. "I'm Aryssa's elder sister, Ravysa. I you need further proof, there is a letter I recieved a week before she died." Pouring some tea she produced a letter and slid it over, it was addressed to her and it was unclear as to why she would do this.
Naomi knew that London would not say much, so she spoke and introduced her. Of course she read the letter and set it down with an angry look in her eyes, but her voice reflected different. "This is my partner London, she's a bit shy. This is her writing, though I don't know why she asked you to watch over me. A human killed her, but nothing can change human nature." The woman laughed and wondered how she ever had gotten through the past five years, and how their family had survived without the support of the witches council since the line rejected their authority. She was still a child in her eyes, and she was also at the strength of an apprentice. If she was going to survive anything she had to get stronger, otherwise when the storm hit she would be swept away and her fate twisted. "I know you don't trust me, but my eyes are everywhere in this city. The ravens are my friends, and if you need information I will be here. Now please, if either if you have questions ask."

(OOC: Sorry for the bad post... I blanked out looking at the post.)
London just followed along with Naomi just being her usual self with a new person. She was silent and had nothing to say. She just patiently waited for this scene to play out and what exactly she had to do. London was getting a bad feeling from going their and once they arrived it was worst. When she saw the women, she imagined someone else.
Oddly, London was not distracted, she had .... hints within her body that something was going to happen. Something important If Naomi needed her, London was ready to fight with full cooperation. She listened to the women as she spoke and went along to this tea party. Once she sat down, she continued to listen and just waited for things to go on...

"Even if you are her sister, that means little to me. I don't know what your getting at, but I don't like the fact you were spying on me." Naomi replied with as she drank half the cup in one drink, trying to keep from getting too angry at this matter. Her mother never told her about her family, and now after all this time she showed up when she should have shown up that night. To her the woman was neither enemy nor friend right now, and she was ready to kill her where she sat. "There was a reasonshe kept me safe from anyone, I know it. So whatever help your willing to offer, I can't accept it. Even if your intentions are good, I can't afford to reveal the truth to everyone." Naomi was holding back her anger, having to face the past she just wanted to lock herself in her room and do nothing. She had no choice right now, though the situation called for it hostile action would not help. This was too convenient, as if her own aunt was trying to capitalize on her inexerience and use her to her own whims.
Ravysa was not surprised by the hostility, but the one she chose to follow had told her to expect this from the girl. She had become a pawn of Shinigami-sama since that night and that made her dangerous if she learned to better control her own power, which had been deemed to be very useful to their cause. In truth her aunt was the enemy, working for those who would create a vessel that would lead to destruction and madness. "I see, so you feel that strongly about avoiding your birthright. If you ever change your mind then find me, just follow the ravens and you will find where the shadows gather." She then finished her tea and headed to an open window, looking disappointed Ravysa turned into a raven and flew out and towards the west. Leaving the two of them alone in the place Naomi closed her eyes and shook her head, she was concerned that this visit was more than just a greeting. "London, I know she was truly concerned. Still something irks me, I don't know what it was but she seemed more interested in my abilities than me." She stood up leaving the half empty cup and headed to the door, as the glamour wore off as the place revealed its true nature.
While the pictures remained and the dishes were clean and fresh, the place looked like it had been hit by a fire, and had not been lived in for several years. "Ravens, wise tricksters and guides. I hate to say it, but I am related to her... That two faced harlot..." She opened the door and headed into the door frame quietly, now more angry than her usual brooding as somebody had just tried to recruit her away from shibusen. "What do you think, am I right or am I just overreacting." She sighed leaning in the doorframe, and wondering what the hell was going on. She was not known as a witch at the school, and she feared that if it was revealed that she was she would be treated poorly and hated for her heritage. The future wasall she wanted to see, and the future that they would build with their own actions at that. "She's also right, I should not be satisfied with my ability as it is now. I can do so much more if it were stronger, but I am afraid to..."

London's reaction oddly stayed calm throughout this who scene and wasn’t because she was day dreaming, in fact, she was paying attention. Her day dreaming self was temporary put out from her mind as she observed the situation that was going on in front of her. One thing that concerns her was that a witch had infiltrated Shibusen and seems to be in a position where she could hide for a long while without getting caught. Another problem was trust issues, London did not know the capabilities this witch could whether she was just a small fry witch trying to act tough or was she a powerful witch able to do something to Death City with her power. This was indeed a troubling time at the moment and London’s mind could get a single answer to these problems. What was worst is that it was directly affecting her partner.
London drank from her cup of tea looking a bit like one of those women who would always drink tea at the afternoon with the girls but this was not the situation placed. London looked at Naomi with a face of concern and muttered in her silent low tone voice “ She just gives me a strange aura. I don’t how she even snuck in Death City she being a witch. She should have been caught by now by someone from the school.” London looked down on to the floor glaring at it for a moment until she took another sip of her tea. “ As for your powers, witch’s power are effected by their environment, in other words if you were to go to her, depending on how she uses her abilities, it can change yours into the what they aren’t now. There is no telling what she can do to anyone here. Her presence in this city is just starting to scare me.

Londons concerns were well placed, and Naomi considered the fact herself. Her parents and her came here because her father was once a Meister, and he came first to set things up for them. Still how her aunt arrived was something else, though the way she acted was nothing short of trouble on the way. "I think some of her family could tell the future to some degree, perhaps she is in possession of this ability. Aside from using the birds to watch me, she seemed to calm facing my refusal. It's like she anticipated this, so who knows the scope of her knowledge." She was still nervous and on edge here, the knolwedge they shared now had to be reported to Shinigami-sama as it was vital he knew there was a dangerous element here in the city. From outside the window a raven flew off, but it got hit in one wing by a piece of broken wood and crashed to the street. "Now I really hate those birds, makes some sense as to why they were often at hand when we were out. We have to tell Shinigami-sama, and don't worry I won't sudden have a change of heart. But I will improve my powers using my moms old stuff, looks like I have some extra studies now."
She hoped that this would not turn into a private war, as this mattered to the city as well as everyone in it. It was shown that she had the control of the ravens and could use some strong glamours, but the last thing she thought was theoretical. She would have to consult her mothers diary about this, and then learn more about her craft in order to be able to become strong enough to survive if things became hostile. As a Meister she had London, but she had to be able to defend against watever abilities her aunt possessed. Still she would be unable to finish her off, and she knew that so it would have to be another to deal the finishing blow. "I can't bring myself to be the one to kill her, She may be a problem but she is family. Unless she tries to kill us, I just can't..."

“Well then, I believe that its time for us to return to school if you have any plans of telling Shinigami-Sama or even researching at the library. One book won’t be enough to find everything you need. This isn’t something we can ignore or take lightly. If worst comes to worst, we might have to hid and actually live at the school.” London said thinking over the situation and the events that can happen. Her head was filling with possible results of all this and what can happen. The only thing was that she wasn’t concern about herself as much as she was worrying about Naomi. London would probably ignoring herself more and focusing more on Naomi and how she would be effected. Naomi could die , get hurt in the result or even she can turn and join this new witch. Those were the main thoughts in her head and how things were going to happen. The future didn’t look bright at the moment and more darkness will be coming. London knew she had to be ready and probably be less of a day dreaming now. London had to toughen up.
London has now had a change of path in her mind. She was thinking about preparation for any sort of events that were going to happen in this future. She thought that this may be a time that London had to actually start paying attention to class more. She and Naomi might have to learn more battle techniques, more ways to fight more ways to use her own power. London wanted to start getting ready. Her mind was wandering though still keeping her attention. London took the last sip of her tea and then gracefully got up from her seat from this tear party. “Shall we leave?”

"Yeah, let's go. I'm not going to run from this, like I usually do. I can't run, she's got eyes everywhere." She replied with as she sighed, if they had to keep from sight it would allow her time to study and learn more about her own power. Though if it was decided that she was compromised due to a blood relation she would not accept it, she was loyal to Shibusen and nothing would break that. Practice was key now, and they had to learn to pick up on what is real and what is not. "I don't know, but if she can make a glamour seem so real then she can probably mask her aura completely. First we should report this to shinigami-sama, then get his thoughts on the matter. My family has historically had no ties to the witches council, so that makes her even more dangerous." She decided to tell London what she knew, about the history she had read that her mother had recorded. The library might have something, then again families like hers tended to stay in the shadows and operate on their own agenda.

"We need to be completely prepare for whats to come. This would include training and finding objects that can help us. Allys would be helpful but that would mean we put others at risk at being injured. " London responded as she began to head towards the door and then opened it stepping outside. She looked up to the sky and noticed the sun began to set. Night was coming soon and it was a school night. " We can always begin solving things tomorrow. Shinigami- Sama would probably not have an instant answer to this problem any ways. It's better for us rest and see what we can figure out at night or at least dream what we need." London said as she waited for Naomi and wanted to know what she decided to do.
