Yuri offered a weak smile before it faded to a slight frown, she didn't really like talking about death. Especially if it was about herself possibly dying, she just found it uncomfortable. But she had to recognise that Sin was correct. "Yeah, but you all have something worth fighting for..." She muttered really quietly under her breath, she realised she had spoke that aloud and hoped that Sin hadn't overheard her.

Sin raised a surprised, questioning eyebrow. "What do you mean?" he demanded. "We all have something to fight for. The rest of the Gifted, the Keepers. You have a family to fight for!" he spat, feeling suddenly...well, near to angry, though not quite. Surely she had a good reason to say what she did? "My parents were killed by Hunters. I fight for the justice they deserve, and so that Gifted one day can have a life. What are we supposed to do, hide in the oceans like the Selks and pretend it isn't happening?" he scoffed, giving a snort as he stood, feeling anxious and uneasy now.

Yuri was taken aback by Sin's, not really sudden, outburst. She understood what Sin meant, she understood that he wanted to fight for his family, but was it the same for the Photon. She looked down at her hands, her hair sweeping infront of her eyes. "Sin, please understand me when I say this. But there's a lot that happens at home. A lot I don't want to talk about... it's not easy to have the same opinion as you, am i even allowed an opinion? Sure, the rest of the gifted need peace. But me? I don't need it, I've already recieved and will recieve the justice i deserve. I have no need to fight for the others... Mother's got a twisted mind, and there's nothing stopping her from doing the same to me. Whatever i do, it won't affect anyone."

"What?" Sin blurted, completely and utterlly confused. What the heck was she talking about? And how did any of that mean she didn't have a good reason to fight? Did she even want to be here? Should she even be here, if she wasn't willing to do her duty as a Gifted?!
(Sorry it's short, I'm confused and this is literally all I know to reply XD)

(Well we can either keep going in this direction or go backwards so he replies differently, up to you...Otherwise his response is gonna be really bad something along the lines of "F*** you get the heck out of evermore you don't belong" XDXD that's about it. The whole point of Evermore is to learn how to fight against the Hunters- particularly along with the other Gifted and Keepers, but also self-defense because otherwise YOU WILL DIE. XD I think you've just totally turned Yuri's personality around in a 180 from where she started and since it's only been a day it doesn't make much since unless you completely redo her form and give her bipolar or multiple personality disorder X3)

(I know I feel like she's a good person both deep down and on the surface, just with some slight issues to overcome because of her family. But while I think she needs a push to accept that she has to overcome the tough situation she is facing, I don't think she seems like a character outright opposed to it. She just wants help. From whoever that may be, and one of my ideas was Sin, of course, but we still have to see as we keep rping XD Either here) Sin raised a surprised, questioning eyebrow. "What do you mean?" he demanded. "We all have something to fight for. The rest of the Gifted, the Keepers. You have a family to fight for!" he spat, feeling suddenly...well, near to angry, though not quite. Surely she had a good reason to say what she did? "My parents were killed by Hunters. I fight for the justice they deserve, and so that Gifted one day can have a life. What are we supposed to do, hide in the oceans like the Selks and pretend it isn't happening?" he scoffed, giving a snort as he stood, feeling anxious and uneasy now.

Yuri shook her head quickly, "No no no! You've got it all wrong!" She clenched her hands tightly, wishing she hadn't said what she said. "Of course I want to fight for the rest of the gifted! But not my family..." She had never completely finished her sentence, stopping halfway which made it sound as it did. "And Selkies might not just hide in the oceans! They can fight! We won't know that, but they might fight. Dependent on the selkie."
(I went so that she never finished what she had said so it sounded like that. Perhaps she meant something like this? 'But you all have something worth fighting for beside the freedom and justice of the gifted, family and whatnot,')
Yuri offered a weak smile before it faded to a slight frown, she didn't really like talking about death. Especially if it was about herself possibly dying, she just found it uncomfortable. But she had to recognise that Sin was correct. "Of course, who wouldn't fight. Everyone wants justice right? Even if some don't know it." She stated before continuing, "It is sad though, knowing that we could die in a moment due to the hunters just being... scared?"
(Would they know why the hunters are trying to kill them? Or is that unknown?)

(Hunters just hate the Gifted, they think they're unnatural and they're trying to take over Humans/kill them off. They have no proof or reason for this. It's pure racism, just like some people hate others of a different race- there's no reason, they're just complete idiots. It's something we deal a LOT with in America.
I'm going with the first option)
Sin, feeling uncomfortable, completely skipped over the first part of her conversation. He didn't feel like it needed a response...right now. "Selks can fight, but they chose not to. Most, anyways. Imagine how many of them are out there, living in their Pods, never to be seen by the Council. The majority of the ones here, even, are only doing it because their families thought it was safer for them- they're doing it to save their own asses, instead of the whole of the Gifted." He shrugged. "But I guess this just totally ruined the mood, huh? This whole conversation," he concluded with a sigh, leaning back, not looking at Yuri. And to think, everything had seemed so perfect up until then, almost perfect enough for a kiss...

(We don't get it as much here in england, it may happen sometimes, that not many know about. The news around here isn't the most informative thing.)
Yuri frowned, "I guess. They care a lot about family though, maybe they fight for their family too..." She gulped and blinked, "Conversation?" She paused and shook her head, mainly annoyed at herself for rambling on without thinking. "Oh... I guess. Maybe I shouldn't of brought it up..."

(Yeah I was kind of starting to get that feeling XD Lucky you. There's just a bunch of aholes in America. I'm not sure why...I really can't figure it out, boggles my mind. Let everyone live in peace and everyone can be happier! Geez lol. I mean, it doesn't make you happier to hate people, trust me. It just makes you a pathetic peace of dung on the side of the road that has nothing in life. Like, I let everyone live the way they want to, hate no one (that hasn't harmed another human being or taken their life) and am literally as happy as I could ever be. Like, for realzies. XD)
Sin shrugged, wondering in the back of his mind if she had done it on purpose to avoid the previously happy, care-free moment they were in...or was he imagining it? "I guess. So, uh, who do you have for your classes? Maybe we share some?" he asked her, referring to History, Hunters, Diversity and Human World, which was of mixed species, so they could very likely be in the same classes, since they were the same grade.

Yuri tried to remember what classes she had been told she had, "For History I have Umbra and for Hunters i have Lenobia. I'm not sure about the other classes yet,"
(Is there one im missing? I looked and those were the only two classes with Yuri at the moment)
(Well I wouldn't say we're lucky. There are terrible things happening all over the world. We still have a lot of bad things happen here, im not sure how they compare to what happens in america.)

(You got home early? How come what happened? You were supposed to be gone all weekend. Did something happen when camping?
Yeah that's only because we don't have teachers for their age group yet for human world and diversity)
"Ah sweet, we have History together!" Sin let out, putting his hand up for a high-five, grinning. "Umbra's always a decent teach, I've heard. I think it'll be cool having a Necro teach our history class. Different viewpoint that I'm used to as a Hydro, for sure. All of my kind are known to be quite bubbly," he admitted, chuckling.
---
Strangely- as always- the fog reacted to Zo's fanning negatively. Instead of disappearing back out the window in which it came, it enveloped the Keeper, circling around her as her motions gave it momentum. Atypical of any natural phenomenon, for certain.
Bray stood, heading over to Zo, the fog, and the windows. He quickly started to close both. "Just forget it," he mentioned. "The whole thing will be gone soon. I swear, I've been here five years now and this stiff never fails to amaze me. Creepy stuff, and creepy island," he remarked as they closed, and the fog was quickly cut off, evaporating momentarily.

It's just really really really hot. We were hiking and felt miserable so we came home.its ok though we still had fun. We climbed to the highest point of mount Scott which is the tallest mountain in the state and so I was the tallest person in the state for a few minutes lol)
Zo nodded and coughed, batting away at the fog before moving to a different side of the room. "It's awful. Why is it like that?" She asked

Yuri smiled and gave Sin a quick and gentle high five, she shrugged; "As long as Umbra is a good teacher then I'm happy. History is an interesting subject, one of my favourite lessons to be honest."

(OH haha it just seems like such a short time if you're going to all that trouble to go camping. I always thought of camping like "ugh so much to prepare boo" XD
Ok nighty night! I've gotta poof soon anyways to pick up my sis.)
Sin nodded. "It's great to hear all about how each species got started, events through time, how the Council was made, and the Keepers...I hate hearing about The Great Loss, though. It always bums me out," he said with a sigh. "Well," he answered, reaching out for her hand to help her stand. "Want to stick your feet in the ocean before we head back up? It'll get some of the sand off," he explained.
---
Bray shrugged, his stomach rumbling. "No clue. Oh well. I think lunch will be starting soon. Ready to head that way?" he asked. "I've just gotta go change real quick first," he told her as he motioned to his clothes, just slightly dirty from training.

Yuri nodded in agreement but shook her head in response. "I'd rather not," She cooed, "Even if the ocean washes some of the sand off, we would have to walk through the beach anyway; my feet would just be sandy again. I'll be fine," The Photon shifted her feet and stood up. Yuri noticed how long she had spent outside, which was different as usually she would be inside.

Maze coughed, now choking on her food, having stuffed too much in. After a brief few moments of that, she cleared her throat and said, "We're living at a school. Its not like we can exactly just keep our things private," the woman noted, then taking another bite. "Besides," she mentioned with a mouthful once more, "I'm just trying to help. You need to get that kid in training, like, last year. Remember when I told you that? But no, you don't listen to Mazikeen, do you?" she remarked with a chuckle. "She's an 8 year old Shadower that only has the basics of her power down. Heck, at her age, Serenity was already on the battlefield with her parents!" she exclaimed, speaking of one of the well-known Shadower students. Maze started looking around. "Hey, ya know what would go really good with this?" she referred to her waffle. "Peanut-butter! Oh, man, I've gotta get me some of that," she almost purred like a cat, considering it.
Xhaiden "Xhai" "Yeah. It's a school but that doesn't mean we have to stick our nose in each other's business, and honestly, you're sticking your nose in something that doesn't pertain to you. And I'm doing what I think is best for Achlys." Even as he said this, he had a feeling like he was doing what was best for him. Not Achlys. He sighed lightly and ran a frustrated hand through his hair. After breakfast, he would have to find Serenity or someone like her to talk with Achlys and help her with her powers. He wouldn't admit it, but Maze had a point. Even with these thoughts whirling in his mind, his expression was hard and still mad at Maze. "And I don't care about peanut butter on waffles." He glared at her some more.

Kylie walked with Aris and Ava- being older, she took charge and was the lead. "Maybe the first step is to ask some of the other students- ones that aren't Keepers, would be best. The...Gifted," she rolled the word over her tongue, the idea of it being strange. "But no Vampires." With a short second, she added, "please," realizing how rude it must have sounded. She didn't want to instigate any fights, or seem like an awful person, but...Eh. They walked along the grass of the main campus, past the school building that held the classrooms and towards the empty grassy lawn that stood before the main building that held the lobby, cafeteria, and dorms. Damaris "Aris" Following behind Kylie, Aris rubbed her arm slightly. "Alright. Good idea. So, who should we talk to first? Any one person or species in mind?" She wasn't all that in-tune with the species and who all was approachable., but Kylie seemed to know. "Maybe we should try one of the warmer species? So we don't start any fights or anything like that." She looked at Kylie before looking at Ava to see what they thought.

{Hey, Turtle! Did you still want to have Mick and Callie grow into a romance plot or no? Just wondering how my responses should be c: }
"You know I don't hate you for any of it." As much as he wanted to, Mick couldn't find it in himself to put forth such efforts to continue avoiding their situation. He relaxed from his position on the wall, glad to hear that Callie had at last finally admitted to the obvious. He pushed off from the wall and took a few steps toward her, a look of sympathy washing over his face. "I know how hard it must've been for you to see me. I want you to know that while I felt it at first, I'm not angry about it- or at least, I think I'm not. I've grown to accept this life and honestly? I think I'll be okay. I'm your keeper now, and the purpose of your protection is what's kept me alive so far." After allowing himself a moment of silence to accept their situation one final time, he pushed the negative thoughts that once clouded the way he'd looked at Callie from across the safe houses he'd been placed in every summer. He didn't know if he could see a friendship spawning out of their relationship just yet, but he did want to be there for her. After all, it was his job to ensure that she would be okay. Whatever was coming up that kept Bray and all the other headmasters on their toes, they'd soon find out. For now, Mick could settle with not hating the idea of seeing Callie around the halls.

"tired of using my powers?" Star said to the instructor before letting out a giggle, "using our powers is the most natural thing for us. As natural as breathing. It courses through our blood, even when we're tired it'll still give us life." She said, her blue green eyes sparkling as she turned back to lily, "so of course i want to fight." She said, "but i guess it'll wait till later." She said with a light smile on her face, "I'm just gonnaaaaa go."

(Passed the life exam now just have the health exam tomorrow! Shinobi: I'm not sure! lol I kind of let the characters determine where things go. I want to do that, though I have a feeling Callie wouldn't actually love him, is only doing it out of guilt. But we'll see I guess!) Sally frowned, shaking her head. Oh, boy the girl would learn quickly enough. But she trudged off, leaving the two girls alone, not particularly caring past that point. Lily watched the instructor go, her head whipping back to Star immediately when Sally wasn't out of sight. "Now. Perhaps we can come to a...compromise," she decided. --- Callie shook her head. "You're not my Keeper, just a Keeper. You'd do best to focus your attention on other Gifted. Particularly the ones that don't put Humans in the position that I've put you in..." she murmured, but pulled further back. "Look, I'll, uh...catch you later?" she offered, rubbing her arm anxiously, not sure what else to say. --- Kylie shrugged. "I don't really know much. I've just heard some of them. What kind of species do you think are..friendly?" The girl only had basic information, and her information on what species of Gifted existed and what they were like was limited. "Maybe we just do trial and error?" --- Maze rolled her eyes. "Fine. Be a bore. See if I care," the Darky told him with a wink as she turned to head off and start her day- despite it being a late start. --- Sin laughed. "Using logic, huh?" he remarked with another chuckle. "Can't say I didn't try eh?" His hands started waving in the direction of the ocean. A stream of water drifted up into the air, pulled towards them by the Hydro. Sin whipped the flying slipway into a spray that hit their feet, knocking the sand grains off. He grinned, enjoying showing off. "I suppose this must be good enough," he teased as he stepped onto the pathway made of flattened reeds. --- Bray made a 'don't worry about it' motion with his hand. "Just come with me, we're only stopping by. Won't take me but a minute," he promised as the left the classroom.

{alrighty then. I just remembered asking you if you wanted to do a romance plot but I wasn't sure how you had responded c: I'm leaving Mick open to anyone who'd like to rp with him.}
Mick was a bit taken back by her efforts to push away from him. Normally he wouldn't have noticed, but the troubled look in her eyes had now rubbed off on him to make him more uncomfortable. "Yeah, I guess so," he replied simply, allowing himself to walk away from her before she had the chance to turn away. He was a bit flustered by the whole thing with Kylie, but then the awkward conversation with Callie left him utterly confused. The way his position as a keeper was tossed around in the air like it defined his worth made him feel like dirt, but there was nothing much he could do about it other than fulfill his duty well.
As he made his way past the battle field and toward the school, he felt his breath begin to grow short. He was a bit peeved off about how dreadful this day had already turned out, and all he wanted to do now was to sleep it off and wake up the next day with a better attitude. If anyone else happened to bump into him that day, they wouldn't be so lucky to be in his presence.
He found himself roaming the halls aimlessly instead of finding his way back to the dorms where he would probably have to go feed his kitten at some point. With his mind elsewhere, Mick forgot to look where he was going and completely bumped into someone else, scowling at first but feeling guilty as he noticed that he'd knocked the other person to the ground. "I'm sorry, are you okay?" he offered politely to the stranger, reaching out a hand to help them back up.

(Omg lol I could do Lae? That would be cute!)
Lae squealed, just a small peep as she was bumped into, and though it was light, she was small enough that the move knocked her off her wings; she had been hovering just an inch above the ground as she moved, her brilliant wings fluttering gently to keep her afloat. Now, though, she fell to the grassy ground below them, just outside the main building as she had been making her way there for lunch. "Goodness!" she let out in her very high-pitched voice.
