Bran blinked and his mouth opened as a soft 'woah' escaped his mouth. He had never seen a Storean actually glide. It was pretty breath-taking and fascinating. The Noxian moved to the edge of the stairs to watch Kai glide. He started his walk down soon enough, not wanting to be caught staring like some kind of weirdo. "So how do you do that?" He asked when he approached Kai.

OOC Wanna roleplay Magic?
IC Kai landed fairly gracefully on the floor and let his arms fall back down to his sides as he looked over at Bran and offered a smile. "It's a little harder to glide in here since there's less open room, but it's faster than using the stairs," he said with a chuckle. "As for your question...well you see, Storeans have hallow bones, which make us a lot lighter than most other species, and then we have these flaps-" he paused to stretch out his arms and show off the long black, lightly feathered flaps from his wrists down to his ankles, a slit in his clothes so that the flaps weren't restrained. "That help us stay up and glide through the air.

Bran nodded with the explanation. His eyes scanned the flaps. Sure, he had read about this in a book concerning the anatomy of different species, but it was different in person. The pictures in the book didn't show the small feathers on the flap well. he had assumed the flaps were like bat wings. He couldn't help but to wonder if they felt more like bat wings or bird wings. Bran opened his mouth to ask about this. Then, he reminded himself to stop. The question was honest and not meant to be odd, but he just didn't know if it was acceptable or would just end up sounding creepy. Most importantly, he didn't know if Kai would feel comfortable. This was one of those times Bran wished he had a magical social guide or was good at reading people. His eyes returned to look at Kai's face. "That's cool." He said with a smile. He started to walk to pay for his books.

Lauretta was fiddling around with a pencil, bored as hell when she was trying to think of something to write for a language relations prompt. Needless to say, she was very uninspired, and was more focused on looking at her nails rather than work on the actual thing. Sure, it was a bad habit to think that she could blow off such an assignment, but she didn't see the point in doing something she had no drive for. If anything, it was still early in the year. Maybe she would be able to get some kind of class change. Of course that also meant she would have to try to think of what other credit she would need to go to the next grade level.

Skylar Brennan | Human/Naff hybrid | female | 21 | bisexual | Year 8 |
| Despite being a cross between two different species, Skylar has almost nothing in her usual physical appearance to suggest that she is anything but human. At 5'8", she crosses the borderline as a tall human female, while for a Naff she could be considered slightly shorter than average. Her smooth, unblemished skin speaks more of the Naff than it does for humans; unlike human teenagers, Skylar has never experienced acne in her life, and exceptionally fast healing has rendered her scar-free. She has bright, fiery ginger hair, a gift from her human mother, though her eyes tend to vary in color. Normally, they're a striking emerald green, rather attractive and yet fully human; in this state, she requires the aid of glasses due to bad vision. When angered or threatened, however, they turn a glowing bright gold, a trait that comes straight from her Naff father. In this state, she no longer needs her eyeglasses, as her senses become as sharp as a Naff's and she also becomes faster and stronger. She can only stay in that state for a limited amount of time, however, and once she loses that extra strength, it's quite a while before she can access it again. | A sassy little spitfire, Skylar is stubborn and bold. She isn't afraid to take risks in order to achieve her goals, which often seems to get her into sticky situations, though somehow she always seems to find her way out of them. She genuinely cares about everyone, regardless of planet or species, and would gladly lay down her life for her friends. She has a fiery temper, and can be easily angered; it's best not to provoke her, unless you're willing to deal with a fallout. | Humans are a strange species, who are usually 5' to 6' feet tall but can be taller or shorter, they have a wide variety of skin, hair and eye color, they're intelligent and naturally more of pack aliens, with many different cultures from their planet, which makes them some of the most diversifying alien species within their own species, they're often stubborn and stuck in their ways, but have been known to be quite compassionate at times and tend to get attachments to any number of random things quite easily. Naff, from the planet Naff'ta, are rather similar to humans, though not quite the same. They usually range in height between 5'6" and 8' tall, with lots of variation. They, like humans, can have a variety of skin tones, though they're always hairless and most often have eyes in varying shades of browns and golds (on Naff'ta, brighter shades of gold are considered more attractive). They tend to stick to small packs that are hostile toward each other, though they are very open and diplomatic toward other species than their own. | Skylar is attending the school to study anatomy and medicine |

"We should buy our books...maybe after I can show you just how cool Storeans can be, you'll have to wait for me outside, but I promise I won't be long," he suggested, glancing over at Bran hopefully. He wanted to show off just a little, because not all species could glide and sure it wasn't flying, but he could still glide for a long time a long as he kept up altitude, he just couldn't take off like people who flew could.

They should have gone down to the planet...but truth be it, they hadn't felt up for getting squashed by any number of people down there. No way, that wasn't happening...yet it did, especially when you were only one foot tall. They sighed and came to a stop, looking around for something entertaining, and well, their curiosity got the best of them once they noticed another student and scurried over. "Hey," they greeted, looking up at the much taller student with a curious glint in their eyes.

IC Nikosur and Norman had split up, a meeting place in mind, with both looking for either of their other brothers. Currently Nikosur was walking around the busy streets of the planet down below, he towered over most people yet was still so short for a Ruliva, he didn't exactly care. He was raised on Stror, he considered himself an honorary Storean, and he was plenty tall for one of those. The streets were busy, buzzing with life, which Nikosur ignored for the most part, he knew he got weary looks for being a Ruliva in the first place, considering they didn't live anywhere at all close by, nor were known for being friendly. But he preferred to ignore it all.
-
Norman was dealing with a person, who was in charge of a street game of answering three questions he asked about himself for a small reward. Norman was doing pretty well so far, in fact one more question and he would have this in the bag. Literally considering he would be getting the money in the bag. "Alright young human. Answer me this-" started the over confident man. "What is my name?" He questioned with an too pleased smirk.
The redhead only returned it with one of his own. "Three guesses, right?" He asked and the Storean there nodded. "Is it...Ventin?" He asked. Going along with one of the more simple names on Stror and he shook his head. "Hmm...is it Freib?" He asked again and once again, the answer was no. "...Is it...Anos?" He asked and the guy's smile faltered. He had guessed his name.

(I was gonna do one for Ty but I just used him, so it's either Niko or Norman.)

Bran felt his smile turn into a grin, showing his teeth. He was eager to see the Storean glide, but Kai's excitement was contagious and just added to Bran's. Bran found himself almost giddy about seeing Kai take to the sky. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he felt a bit nervous. There was a lot that could go wrong and kai should probably meet back with his brothers, but he pushed these feelings away. He didn't want to be the wet blanket. "That sounds great." He said before stepping up to buy his books at one of the open registers. He left when he bought his books and waited outside for Kai.

IC Once Kai bought his book as well, he started up until he was on the roof of the tall building. He took a breath, walking over to the edge and peering down, excitement bubbling up inside him. He could see Bran, he was waiting down below. He shook himself a bit, took a few large steps back, and ran over to the edge, jumping off, he waited until he was a bit further down before stretching out his arms, flaps stretching out along with it as he took to the air, gliding in the air and yelling out of excitement and joy, book safely in his other arms.

Bran looked up as a shadow crossed the ground. His eyes widened and he took a step back when he realized Kai had jumped off the building. He should have expected it, with what Kai had said, but Bran didn't actually put things together until now. He grinned as he watched Kai, suddenly wishing he was up there with the joyful Storean. It must be wonderful, being able to feel the wind run through your feathers and able to be free. They had no such heights in Nox and he loved being able to climb up a building and see the city stretched out below him. He couldn't help but to laugh as he watched Kai and thought about himself flying. This day was just so strange.

IC After gliding around a bit, Kai brought his hands down to his side and dove down, only springing his arms back out a few feet above the ground which helped him land gracefull, a few feet away from Bran. He shook his flaps a little bit before letting his arms fall to his side and sent a wide grin over to the Noxian. "That's what it really looks like when a Storean glides," he explained, clearly in a far better mood than his previous already good mood before. "I could have gone longer but I figured I should come back to you, and besides, it's more fun when I can jump off of even taller buildings.

Bran walked up to Kai when he landed. He tried to push down his smile as Kai spoke. He felt odd being the excited one, not that Kai seemed any less excited. Even with the Noxian's poor people skill, he could tell the Storean was on cloud eig-no that wasn't right, he was on cloud nine. "How long do you usually last?" Bran asked, now fully intrigued in Storean flight.

IC Kai paused to think about it for awhile. "It depends on how high I take off. Usually I can average well over twenty minutes, and if it's from a really high place, I can go for far longer too. I'm not flying so I can't keep myself up in the air for near as long as I'd like, but gliding is better, less safe, easier to get hurt, doesn't have as much of a safety net. I like it better that way," he explained.

Post by zero on Feb 8, 2017 19:28:02 GMT -5
Bran had to force himself not to frown. He hadn't thought about the fact that gliding was unsafe. Kai seemed talented enough, but Bran couldn't help that spark of worry and guilt. He didn't like the thought of anyone flying up in the sky without some kind of safety net. Bran hoped he hadn't pushed or anything. He put on a weak smile nonetheless. "That's a pretty long time in the air. Doesn't your arms get sore?" He asked, trying to change the subject away from the unsafe factors of gliding. He didn't want to state his opinion and offend Kai.

OOC My phone is about to die, so it's short.
IC "Fiz yes, but I've put a lot into my upper body strength, I can go for longer than a lot of Storeans," Kai explained as he walked. "Plus our bones are hollow, so it's less tiring on them," he added, looking back at Bran, it was easy enough to explain.

Post by zero on Feb 9, 2017 17:54:25 GMT -5
Bran was impressed, but also felt a twinge of both jealousy and admiration. Kai seemed so carefree and together. He knew the Storean was his senior, but still, it was unnerving. Bran wiped the thoughts away form his mind. Poisonous thoughts never led to good things. He quickly caught up to Kai. "So where are you going?" He asked. Maybe this was his time to split with the Storean. He did have his family to catch up to.

IC Kai glanced back over at him and blinked. "I'm probably going to have to find my brothers now, i think we were supposed to be back to our dorms like...an hour ago, so we could study. I was going to find a tall building, jump off, and glide around looking for them. Did you have anywhere you needed to go?" He asked the Noxian with a tilt of his head, he has almost assumed at this point they would part ways. Not that he minded the other's company, quite the opposite actually, he just figured that Bran had other places to be, or something else like that.

Bran shook his head. "I'm actually going to head back and get a head start on reading these." He held up his books with a small smile. He liked Kai, but he could feel it was time to part. Maybe he could get a coffee on the way back. It was one of the new things he actually enjoyed.

IC Kai gave him a nod of understanding. "Alright, well I'll see you around Bran, maybe we can hang out sometime at school," he suggested, starting to walk off to let Bran do his own thing. He had liked hanging out with him, especially since he got to show off his Storean gliding abilities, however he was certain his brothers were already upset with him for wandering off....yeah he really needed to find them and get back to them now.
