I ♞ ＶＯＩＤ

O u t s i d e ;

[You know how most students leave the boat docking station to actually go inside? There was one girl who decided to stay behind after being forced to be sorted and then crawl into one of the boats to lay down. Apparently magic had changed her robes because she was too preoccupied to care to change. At least the robes she was changed into magically had a coat that was long enough to sort of work like her cloak did. She'd taken it off to put it over her to act as a blanket.

Instead of actually deciding to go inside, she was too busy moping. She hadn't even bothered to check things out and the idea that she might actually be able to use magic properly wasn't enough to cheer her up. Somebody want to fetch her?]

G r e a t - H a l l ;

[Well now that her stomach was clearly telling her that she needed to stop moping and crying, she finally started to get up and put the coat back on to head inside. Sure she was used to magic, but this wasn't quite the same. They'd never had actually moving pictures or moving stairs. Absent mindely, she continued to walk on until she stopped in front of the giant doors leading to the Great Hall.

At least she wouldn't starve, considering the food replenishes itself. Sitting down idly at the Gryffindor table, she just stared at the food. She was hungry, but there were other things to worry about.]

Saito.... Why...?

Outside

[arf_arf]

[He knew he'd have to face her... it was only a matter of time seeing as how he was assigned as her pet. It seemed no matter where he went, and no matter what kind of courageous acts of valor one performed, some things just never changed. Speaking of things that never changed, here he was, walking out to the boats the first years sailed in to enter Hogwarts, knowing Louise would likely be here if she hadn't come to dinner.

Sure enough, he did spot a little bundle of something moving in one of the boats further down the line, and he stealthily made his way over, calmly sitting on the edge of it. What could he really say to her? Sorry I died? Hey, how's it going? Funny story, I'm actually alive now? He had to say something... but everything he could come up with just sounded so... empty. Yet despite how selfish it was, he would not hesitate to do it all over again, because he...]

I love you Louise, and I always will.

[So... those were the words that made it out of his mouth first? Somehow... he didn't have any regrets no matter what might happen.]

[louisethezero]

[While laying in the boat, lost in her own mind, she thought she heard his voice but.... Saito was dead. That's all there was to it. He was gone and he wasn't coming back. Not really paying much mind that those words could actually have been spoken rather than her hearing things. After all, she'd thought she'd heard or seen him more times than she could count.

'He's special to me!' She remembered yelling that out between her tears and sobbing to her sisters. She remembered that so well. But now he was gone. Not really thinking that he was actually there....]

S-stop it. Stop messing with me...

[And there were the tears again. Except no one was here for her now. She was in a completely new place -- even if it was magical -- by herself. She didn't even have her sisters' attempts to comfort her. She didn't have anyone.]

[arf_arf]

Messing with you?

[Well okay, he did die so maybe she's thinking she's hallucinating. He really shouldn't... he really, really shouldn't, but he's just so happy to see her again when he was so certain the last time really was the last time... he's going to mess with her a little.]

Well if you think that's messing with you, then what do you call this?

[He's lifted up her shoe? Why? To steal the shoe. Why? To tickle her foot.]

Coochey coochey coo!

[louisethezero]

[She thrashed around to move and see who was bothering her. Now that she'd been shaken out of her thoughts... But even if sounded like him, It couldn't....

She didn't say anything as she just stared at him. She saw him there, but this had to just be another illusion. He was dead and there was no way to...

Eyes full of tears as they streamed down her face.]

N-No... you can't.... You can't really be here....

[arf_arf]

Becaue I'm dead right?

[Saito reached out and cupped her cheek, wiping away one of her tears and doing his best not to let his own eyes tear up at the sight of the pain he inflicted upon her. Better the pain of loss, than death itself.]

I remember dying myself, but it seems Gandalfr is full of miracles.

[And Saito is full of it.]

Hey... I remember telling you last time we were on a boat together that I loved you. I remember it going over a lot better back then though.

[He leaned in to kiss her cheek with a soft smile.]

See? Still warm blooded, and I can still feel pain, so no necromancy zombie doom like with Prince Whales?

[Yeah he just poked himself in the eye, and he's sort of regretting it.]

Great Hall

[offrillsandswords]

[Elizabeth smiled slightly taking a sip of some type of tea that she was trying to figure out. It was sweet at least, better than what she had previously. Looking over she couldn't help but see the other. She didn't look happy at all. A smile soon faded before she leant over slightly.]

Miss, are you okay?

[louisethezero]

[Considering she managed to run into Saito earlier in the day someone, she was doing a little better, but she was still depressed about the entire thing. There were so many thoughts going on in her mind. She didn't particularly pay attention at first until..]

Oh, uhm... I'm okay. [Which is obviously "Not really"]

[offrillsandswords]

[She could tell that the other wasn't okay, after all it might have been how she dealt with being upset, but she figured out that maybe the other wouldn't want to talk about what was upsetting her and instead tried to talk about something else with a small smile.]

So... What do you think of the food?

[louisethezero]

[And she does appreciate that, since she's still sort of trying to wrap her mind around it yet. It hurt to think about. But the food... She couldn't say it was bad. She's had worse, despite being an aristocrat thanks to going undercover for the Princess occasionally.]

It's better than I expected.

Great Hall

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[It seemed like people were starting to head back to the common rooms and as Fuu started to get up and was about to head on off to the Ravenclaw commons when she walked past the Gryffindor table, mostly to see if her friend had already gone off or not. She couldn't see her which meant she must have gone as she sighed slightly.]

I guess I can catch up with her tomorrow. [Just as she was about to take a step she accidentally stepped on anothers robe.]

Ah, I am sorry. I didn't mean to.

[louisethezero]

[Louise wasn't really paying much attention. So once the girl did that, she didn't notice until she said something.]

Oh uhm... No it's okay.

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[She still moved however.]

You sure, it seemed rather rude of me never the less.

[louisethezero]

I didn't even notice until you mentioned something. [But remembering her manners despite her mood] I appreciate it anyways though.

Outside

[devilishkaoru]

[Kaoru had been walking, trying to keep up doing things and making sure that he keeps busy for as long as possible which thankfully is working when he comes across someone moping on the floor.]

You know, laying on the ground isn't helping anyone.

[louisethezero]

[she didn't really care what he said. She wasn't in the mood.]

Yeah well, listening to annoying people doesn't help anyone either.

[Woops. There's her bite...]

[devilishkaoru]

[Touche, but at least he knows he is annoying.]

Well this annoying guy is trying to make sure someone doesn't end up getting sick. Unless you want to get sick in which case I won't stop you.

[louisethezero]

I don't care about that.... I don't really care about anything besides that right now.....

Great Hall

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu is already sitting and picking at her food when she sees the new girl walk in. She looks up, noting their similar hair color before looking back at her meal. She only really inspects the girl more when she sits down at the same table.]

Saito?

[Her head pops up and tilts curiously to the side. It sounds like she might be missing her friends too, not that it’s any concern of Amu. She’s been doing a good job of keeping herself distant from others and really she’s just tired of it. She wants to have close friends again like those from her old school.]

[louisethezero]

[Not paying attention, but once she heard Saito's name from someone else...]

Oh uhm.... That's... somebody that I know...

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu blinks and then attempts to say more.]

Guess he's not here?

[She is missing friends too but she feels a little awkward saying so aloud.]

[louisethezero]

Well uhm... That's.... complicated...

[He is sort of...? Somehow...]

Outside

[unbridledtiger]

[He’s just walking around when he sees the one boat that is shifting ever so slightly in the water. The ripples make it obvious but it might not be so noticeable to those who aren’t looking. Seth makes his way down back towards the boats slowly, glancing over the area to see what might be pushing the boat.

When he reaches the shore line he peeks inside the boat curiously.] What’s wrong? [She could be stuck but he suspects it’s something more than that. As Seth peeks over she might notice his bright yellow eyes or white hair, or the fact that he looks a little too old to be a student.]

[louisethezero]

[Of course there was other people here. That would be logical, but she's not all that interested in really leaving said boat...]

Just... thinking of things that happened before coming here...

[unbridledtiger]

Which is?

[He leans slightly on the boats edge but not enough to disrupt the gentle rocking that was probably relaxing the young girl.]

[louisethezero]

[Should she even bother talking about it when it was still so fresh in her mind? But really, was there any other way out of it?]

Somebody I love died in my place.
