Cold Weather

[Guest]

((Lol, so I'm playing a game with a friend of mine XD
They give me a sentence, and I have to form an rp using its theme, or using it in the rp XDDDD
My sentence this time was: "There's too much weather out there."))

Stygian, the death sword, named after the River Styx. It was beautiful, as beautiful as a weapon could be. The way it moved, so fluidly, cutting through the air. There was no other sword as lovely as Stygian.

Althea pulled back, leaving quite a large hole in a practice dummy. Swinging her sword around, she slashed through another, and another, leaving a mess around her. Raising the weapon once more, she smirked at the last dummy, bringing the metal down...
At least, until the wind blew towards her. Immediately, Althea froze, sword missing its target by a hair. Growling, she raised her sword again, only to be stopped by that cold air. Althea whined, lowering her weapon, unable to fight with this weather. Why did it have to be so cold??? This weather was unreasonable!

Sitting down next to the dummy, Althea brought her knees to her chest. It had been only a day since she had arrived at the Athenaeum, and so far, she had only met her mentor. Of course, she didn't expect anyone to be outside in this weather, but it wasn't like it was snowing! Still..... perhaps it was better that people stayed far away from her. After all, she didn't want to spread her cursed luck.


((stfu, it is cold
because Apollo is on vacation
and Zeus is like... chillin or something D<
SSSSHHHH


It's so cold in my room Q____Q))

Carring her bow and her arrows Helene walked to the training square.It was extremly cold,she preferred to stay inside,but she knowed that she need training.She shooted into the air and watched as her arrow bored to the ground.
Perfect!
She never missed any of of her shoots.She saw and unfamiliar figure,but she dicedid to not care of her.
If she needs something,she will ask me

[Guest]

Still shivering, Althea glanced over at the newcomer, narrowing her eyes as the girl shot into the air.
"Hey!" she yelled, pulling out her whip. Standing up, she pulled at the cord, before bringing it down next to the human, the weapon on fire, "Train somewhere else!"

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

Adonia made her way out to the training grounds with her favorite scythe and a practice whip, shivering slightly in the unusually cold weather. "I suppose Apollo decided to go on holiday" she grumbled. She was no stranger to cold weather but that didn't mean she had to like it.
As she approached the training area, she saw two girl she had never met before. As she continued forward she noticed that there seemed to be an argument though she could not tell exactly what was going on.
She approached calmly saying "Hello there... Um..I don't believe we've met. I'm Adonia. A third year siren of Hera. D'you mind if I join you?"

[Guest]

Althea stopped her attacks, looking over at Adonia. Flustered, she looked away, returning to her spot.
"I don't mind....." she muttered, shivering again. Stupid, unreasonable weather.....
In an attempt to distract herself, she looked at the siren, studying her. The girl was of course beautiful..... she was almost the exact opposite of Althea, in some ways.
"Althea, second year lampad of Hades....."

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

"Pleasure to meet you" the siren replied with a bow shifting the weight of her large scythe across her shoulders, content that whatever dispute had started was hopefully resolved for the moment. "Thank you for allowing me to practice with you. I'll try not to get in anyone's way," she said with a friendly smile.
Adonia moved a small distance away looking around her as she went to be sure she had enough room. She then began a fluid series of attack patterns with imaginary foes, gradually adding larger numbers of "foes" and gaining speed with each pattern completion.

[Guest]

Althea's eyes widened, smirking slightly as the siren continued her invisible massacre. Waiting until the end, she stood, clapping.
"That was brilliant!" Althea said, gaining a newfound respect for the girl, "You move so easily! Have you ever fought before?"

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

Adonia finished her "pattern dance" with a wide side-long sweep of her scythe, looking up with surprise when she heard clapping.
"Why thank you" She said with a laugh "I'm glad you enjoyed my training patterns.
"No... not really" she said grinning sheepishly. "I've lived on a island all alone for as long as I can remember so... I had to teach myself. But I've never actually faced off against someone.... just imaginary someones."

[Guest]

Idiot Lampad....
"Please to meet you Adonia,my name is Helene,second year Aphrodite..
Is your scythe is a present from Hera?"said in a courous way"It's beautiful!she made a huge smile.

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

Adonia turned to greet the newcomer with a bow, though her smile faltered for a moment at the mention of Hera. "The pleasure is all mine Miss Helene. Thank you so much! No, I actually made this scythe. I live on a particularly rocky island and since I live alone.. well, I kinda of had a lot of free time on my hands. "

[Guest]

"Really???" Althea moved closer to Adonia, staring at the sword. "You're quite talented... would you mind if I watched you? I'm sure that this would be an excellent way to study how to.... actually fight..."
The lampad looked away, rubbing her neck as she laughed, embarrassed. "I'm not that... skilled..."

[Ohai Stitchy 8DD]

Tommo paused at the edge of the training square, dark hair plastered against his forehead by the howling wind. Still, he didn't mind the cold. Years in the Court of Boreas had taught him how to cope- and besides, he had χιόνι on hand.

Still hanging back on the grounds' outskirts, the Pegasus soon spotted a familiar redhead who didn't seem to be faring quite so well. "Allie!" he cried, waving excitedly with one hand as he ran forward, gripping his enchanted bow in the other. He skidded to a halt a few feet from her and two other girls he didn't recognize. "This is the last place I thought I'd find you," he grinned, jerking a thumb in the direction of some gathering storm clouds. If it started snowing, Althea would really have something to be angry about.

[Loool I'm lame 8DD;;;]

[Guest]

[Ohai Shawn, my favorite son since I realized that I can't understand what fishboy is saying 8DD]

Althea scoffed, glaring at Tommo as the blush spread. "Tommy!" she punched the pegasus in the arm, "You're an idiot, don't tease me like that!"
Still, she glanced up at the storm only miles away, shivering. "If I get stuck in that, you're flying me back to my room, since I am not getting lost in the snow!"

[Shut up, this is OTL worthy >D]

[Guest]

[<333]

Tommo winced slightly at the jab, but he was still fighting back a grin as he massaged the sore spot. "Careful, Allie! If you keep beating me up, I won't be able to take you anywhere, you know," he teased.

But that good-natured smile dissolved into a dangerous grin as his gaze fell on the bow in Helene's hand. "An archer, hm?" he questioned, competitive side beginning to emerge. The smile grew wider, his grip on χιόνι tighter. "Mind showing me what you can do?"

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

Adonia was about to reply to Althea's question when a be-winged young man approached, who she assumed to be a pegasus. Judging by the way he spoke with Miss Althea, she assumed they knew each other.
"Oh! Hello there! I don't believe we've ever met," She began timidly. Swinging her scythe back across her shoulders, she gave a small bow saying "I'm Adonia. third year siren of Hera. So you and miss Althea know each other?"

[Guest]

Helene smiled at Tommo."Sure if you promise me,you won't manipulate the winds.Okay?"she giggled.Then she shot the middle of the target.
"So..excuse my indiscretion...but who are you?I've never seen you before..."

[Guest]

Tommo blinked in surprise, impressed by the flawless shot. "Not bad for a human... not bad at all," he grinned. "And the reason we haven't met is probably because I just got here," he added. "Maybe you could... show me around sometime?" he suggested innocently, hiding a smile.

He paused and shot Althea a sideways glance, eyes dark with mischief as he fought back a crooked grin, then turned his attention to the Aphoridite girl once more. "Tommo," he said simply, bowing respectfully. "Pegasus of Apollo. Although I don't believe I've had the pleasure of a formal introduction just yet~"

[Guest]

Althea just scowled, rolling her eyes at him. "I'm sorry for his behavior, Adonia," she muttered, glaring at the pegasus, "This is Tommo. We're.... old friends, you could say."

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

Adonia smiled, stifling a giggle, and responded "Its really no trouble at all. Old friends huh? Well, it must be nice to have a familiar face around. Oh, and do feel free to watch my pattern dances whenever you like. I don't mind. In fact I'm flattered that you enjoyed it so much."

[Guest]

"Thank you"Helene bowed a little bit."Nice to meet you Tommo.If you want to I show you around of course."She smiled.
Old friends...but what was that grin to her??!!!

[Guest]

Tommo flashed the girl another radiant smile even as he shoved his lampad "friend" out of their general vicinity. "That would be... nice," the pegasus said softly, but then the rare moment of quiet was shattered as he reverted to his usual, audacious self. "Don't mind Allie over there," he grinned, jerking a thumb in the redheaded Warrior's direction. "Her bark's much worse than her bite. Always gets clingy like this when I make new friends," he added loudly, smirking as the words drifted into her earshot.

[OH ALTHEA <333
TOMMO IS OBNOXIOUS BECAUSE HE CARES! 8D /shot]

[Or he just wants to get a reaction out of her, but hey, whatever works 8D]

[Guest]

Helene gave Tommo a bit suprised look.
"How could you talk about your friend like that?I mean it's okay to trick her,but it's not okay to relagate her in front of strangers!"she said.
She looked like a bit sulky.
i can handle her you don't have to told methought sadly.

(((Shall I make a private topic for Tom+Hel somewere?By the way:I made Alth and Hel's roomC:)))

[Guest]

Althea glared at Tommo, face bright red as she aimed a kick at the pegasus. "I am not clingy," she said, growling slightly, "And you can make all the friends you want! I don't care either!!!"

[Achlys Adonia Argyris]

Adonia was irked at the pegasus's attitude, but decided to say nothing. Better to say nothing than to allow her temper to flare up. Instead she merely settled for readjusting the weight of her scythe across her shoulders.

[Guest]

[Private topic sounds good xD]

"She knows I'm kidding," Tommo promised, and grinned at the lampad's attack as if he'd been expecting it any second. They'd been friends- for lack of a better term- for years now, and knew each other well. Still, he had the decency to offer an apologetic smile, running a hand through his hair sheepishly. Saying sorry was not his strong point, and at first he was at a loss for what to do, with the other two no doubt watching his actions carefully. Then he saw the snow beginning to fall.

Shaking out his powerful wings and flexing them with a few experimental beats, he decided to just grit his teeth and hold out the olive branch. It didn't have to look like a traditional apology, right? After all, actions speak louder than words...

"Come on, Allie," he grinned, putting one arm around her shoulders with an ease lent by familiarity, "let's get you out of this cold weather, shall we?"

[HE REALLY DOES CARE... KINDA 8DD;
