I walk along the highstreet with my head down, looking up only often enough that I don’t get dizzy from the blood rushing to the front of my head. It’s not like I have to look out for pedestrians… the place seems almost totally deserted. Very creepy. Where has everyone gone lately? I wonder, absently kicking a rock. And not just here, but anywhere?Sadly enough, it’s not that difficult to list off the people I’ve spoken to in the last year, and even easier to pick out those I consider rather friend-like. And every single one of them seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth. The Porter sisters are keeping to themselves a lot, but they’re still around, I correct myself. And of course I’ve seen Arden and Laken….At this thought it feels like my heart is cracking in half again, but I try not to think about the fact that I haven’t seen Andra and know perfectly well why. Or about the fact that maybe one of the reasons I haven’t seen anyone else is because I really haven’t felt like talking for a while. But I press on. I haven’t seen Rika or Ebony in ages… or that Morgan girl since I met her… Yumi since the mind-hunting party. One of the other guests is dead now and I don’t really know the other three…. And Elena is around, I guess… so that makes her the third. Third person I’ve actually spoken to in the last few weeks.I sigh and shake my head, kicking another rock somewhat more forcefully. Where has everyone gone?((Please don’t answer unless you’ve met me at least once. Thankees. ))

Rika had gone off to do some shopping.She had been bored up at the castle it seemed like everyday that had gone by people in the common room,had been disappearing,but she knew that wasn't the case,people got bored and instead of sticking around to hide book like she did,they left the common room in search of things to do.She had been thinking of what to do when she got back to the castle when she felt something hit her. "Ow!! That hurt,if I was in your way I would of gladly moved."She said quietly to whoever hit her. {{YAY!!! I've met you twice ;D}}

I look up in surprise at hearing a voice, realizing eventually that I must have accidentally kicked the rock at someone - and realizing at the same time that that someone is someone I know. "Rika," I say in surprise, grinning automatically. "Er... sorry about the rock. I haven't seen you... in months, or nearly." (( I love you!!))

She looked up to see Chance,she smiled."Hey, so this is what you've been up to,kicking rocks at people very exciting Chance."She giggled and gave him a hug. "I know,lets well I've been around visiting my family for a couple of months,but came back a couple of weeks ago...but I haven't been in the common room lately...so yeah any who what have you been up too?"She asked smiling. {I love you too!! ;D}

I hug her awkwardly back, smile turning slightly pained until she lets me go and I can grin again... until her question. "Oh, nothing in particular," I shrug, eying the ground with deliberate casualness. "I haven't seen hardly anybody lately... like you all just disappeared." ((I love you more! ))

She laughed lightly."Oh,well sorry about that,like I said I haven't been in the common room like in forever...I was probably outside or in the castle somewhere taking pictures."She smiled. {I love you as much as you love me!! ;D}

I nod down at the ground, looking up in interest when she says that. "You take pictures?" I ask curiously.
((Hm. Maybe I believe you. But either way we shall run away together and get married on Mt. Everest! ;D ))

She smiled."Yeah ,I just never get around to take any beasue my camera broke,but my parents got me a new one!" {YAY!!! Mt. Everest can't wait ;D}

"So what do you take pictures of?" I ask with interest, nodding. ((Might have to break off a few other engagements first though... and possibly learn what your name is. ))

"Well I take pictures of mostly anything,freinds family,animlas nature things like that."She told him. {lol that would be a great idea ;D my name is Fabiola but everyone calls me Fabby }

I nod. "Muggle style, or wizarding?" I ask. "And when did you get parents?" I add, blurting it out before I can think of a more tactful way to phrase it. ((Yes, I thought so. And... I think I knew that. Sillykins. But I'm Jennie... howdy.))

Post by Rika Otonashi on Jan 6, 2008 6:19:33 GMT
She laughed lightly."Well I would love to try wizarding style,but so far I've only taken pictures with a muggle camera,and I got my parents about three months ago."She smiled. {lol hola!! Jennie}

"Wizarding pictures still scare me a little," I say. "I can't get used to the moving. But anyway... congratulations," I grin. "If that's the right word."
((Hellooooooo!! ;D ))

Post by Rika Otonashi on Jan 8, 2008 23:12:52 GMT
She smiled."Wizarding pictures are cool,especially since they move,but it can get a bit annoying,anyways thanks,well it is for this occasion I guess."She laughed. {;D lol Hiya!!}

"You're welcome then... I guess." I shrug, still smiling slightly. "So what else have you been up to, other than taking pictures?"
((This is getting weird... hola!))

"Well eating candy of course,I got a large supply of muggle candy that I brought with me,nothing chocolate of course,swimming,building snowmen and making snow angels,snow is awesome,umm...reading meeting new people...the usual I guess how about what have you been up too,don't say nothing because there must of been something you did."She smiled laughing lightly. {lol beyond weird ;D}

I laugh slightly, mostly at how quickly she talks, and filing away the mildly intriguing comment about chocolate. Then she asks about me... and I'm stuck for a moment, then shrug. "Nothing much... just school. Friend's funeral." I shrug again, partly thinking that I shouldn't have mntioned that, but then again I probably would have had to eventually.

She nodded her smile fading away at the mention of funerals."Oh,well school sounds fun,and I'm sorry about your friend's deaths."She sad sincerely,she had never really attended anyone's funeral before and didn't really want to attend one at all,all the sadness in room room would be much to her to handle.

I nod, shrugging and kicking absently at the ground. It's no big deal, I consider saying, then balk at the enormity of the lie. It is, of course, an incredibly big deal. "So... um...." I change the subject. "I've also been looking after my little sister... trying to teach her to be responsible when it comes to magic." I smile slightly. This is a topic I can talk about.

She smiled slightly at the thought that she now also had siblings,even though they were muggles and would never really be able to experince what she has."Really that's great,its great that she gets to learn how to be responsiblity since your really resonsible."She nodded.

"Good thing I am, 'cause she'll need to borrow quite a bit." I shake my head, then frown slightly. "So how about you? What's your new family like?"

Post by Rika Otonashi on Jan 17, 2008 23:53:22 GMT
She smiled,she knew that she wasn't very responsible as many thought she would be which was fine with her."Yup,I'm sure she will,well lets see I have two siblings,a brother and a sister,they're really nice and my parents are really nice as well,when I was visiting them,it was kind of weird since we all had to do certain things around the house,but I'm really happy over there it great."

"That's great," I say, grinning some more at her. "I suppose it would be weird to suddenly have a family, but...." I shrug. "So do they know... I mean, are they muggles or what?" I ask curiously.
|
|

Post by Rika Otonashi on Jan 21, 2008 7:17:19 GMT
She laughed."Well yeah,it is,but its nice to actually live with people that actually care about you as much as they do,well since I am...er was living in a muggle orphange at the time yeah."

Post by Chance Gracieux on Jan 22, 2008 2:49:37 GMT
I nod. "So do they know where you are now? I mean... that would be a shock."
|
|
|
Post by Rika Otonashi on Jan 28, 2008 21:19:23 GMT
She nodded."Well they sort of now,I told them about school and stuff like that they seemed okay by it."

"I think my own mum was relieved that there was some explanation for my weirdness...." I say, laughing slightly. "But it would... not be fun... to have to lie to them, I imagine."

Post by Rika Otonashi on Feb 2, 2008 3:11:40 GMT
She smiled."Your not weird....your just unique,and yeah lie would just be wrong especially if you want them to trust you."She nodded.

Post by Chance Gracieux on Feb 3, 2008 15:11:59 GMT
"Lies... would tend to keep people from trusting you again," I agree, nodding, then shake my head. "And when it always seems to snow for some odd reason, even indoors, when you get really upset... I think the word 'weird' definitely applies." I grin slightly.
|

Post by Rika Otonashi on Feb 9, 2008 3:03:32 GMT
She nods."Yeah that's true about trust,but I never seen it snow indoors."She laughed lightly.
