Terra was spending some time outside before she had to go and find a dorm room. she decided to go beside the lake, so she went and sat on the grass beside it she started looking at the clouds to see what shapes she saw, she saw some animals and lots of food for some reason. Then she saw some clouds that were shaped like spinning tops and cows in a hurricane, which made her realise how much fun she had when she was little, spinning round and round in circles for hours of fun and some minutes of unpleasantness in the bathroom. Terra suddenly had a thought in her mind, maybe she should have just a little fun so she can enjoy herself like a cow spinning in a hurricane, one last time. she got up thought of how embarrasing it would be if someone saw her, and then decided that she didn't mind it. She started to spin, going faster and faster, then did a cartwheel, but then Terra lost her balance and fell into the lake flat on her face. with a big splash and flapping around she started to crawl out of the lake and then she slipped and fell back in. |

Ah yes, the lake and all the wonders of it stirred within Zlex like it had before. She loved nature and above all, water was beautiful and meaningful. She had just gotten up from the soft green grass when she heard a splash in the lake. Turning and running toward the noise, she noticed that someone was crawling their way back out. Without meaning to, Zlex felt herself give a little laugh. She didn't find it that funny yet, something within her brought out this action without thought. "Are you ok?" Zlex asked with her beaming violet eyes and her shiny white hair. "Do you need some help?" She added trying to compensate for the laughter she had undergone earlier. Besides, she would've done it on purpose due to her extreme love of it. Her ponytail swayed as she leaned foward toward the girl that had fallen in for the second time.... |

terra said "yes please" and put her arms out for some help. she wandered who the girl was and kinda hoped that they could be friends. she asked the girl "whats your name? mines terra, terra puffmuffin" terra hoped that no one saw her when she was twirling around, if the girl laughd when she saw her in the lake, what would people do if they found out how she got in it in the first place (and second). :wacko: |

Zlex smiled brightly as she grabbed Terra's arms with her own and gently pulled her out of the water. Oh, how the water tempted Zlex and made her want to jump inside. Yet, with Terra in her presence, she would have to hold back on that idea for a while longer. "Terra's a nice name." Zlex mimiced from a person she had heard say a phrase like that before. Yet, the reasoning behind complementing things such as names were beyond her. Then again, it was probably a human thing to do. "Nice to meet you, my name is Zlex. Zlex Marski." She added one of her heartwarming smiles to the end of her statement before playing thoughfully in her long white hair. "I saw you fall and I thought you might need some help; especially since you fell in another time." She mentioned to help explain herself. "Do you like nature too?" Liking nature was like liking water to Zlex; all an understatement of how she really felt about them. On her home planet, the water was never blue and the grass never green. Here on Earth, the scenery got better and better as the days went by... |

"Yes I do like nature. I especially like the nice sunny days when you can go for a swim or go on walks. Thanks for helping me out." Terra was getting chilly so she said "you better move back a little so you dont get wet" then she turned into a dog and shook the water off and turned back into a human. "as you can see my power is being able to turn into animals, what's you power? which house are you in? I'm in Seiryuu, maybe we could be friends, it would be nice to know someone around here cause I'm new and your the only person I really know." |

Zlex's smile hadn't faded the slightest bit (especially when Terra mentioned liking nature), but it was when Terra turned into a dog that her expression changed to that of surprisement. Ricor could move really fast, Kaya could heal people, Derrick could scry and create a dome of solitude around himself, Zack could control the weather, Hyper could control her tears...out of all the people she has ever met with powers, none neared that of Terra's. It was the first time that Zlex had seen anything like this. "That's a very interesting gift of yours. I simply have arrows in which to use with my bow...of course it is made by the hands of my ancestors but...I can't do anything like that." Zlex pointed out. As always, she forgot to get in depth about her weapons. She didn't have just any kind of arrow going through that nifty bow that she carried everywhere. She had arrows that could scare the crap out of people who didn't realize what was going on....yet, she wouldn't really explain unless the person asked her specifically. "So, you're in Seiryuu? I'm not...But, I'm sorry, I don't remember what the name of the house they put me in was called...It began with a 'b' though. I'm staying with my friend instead of in the dorms." She explained excitedly. Yes, she still loved the idea that Ricor came up with. "Yes, perhaps we could be friends. I barely know anyone either, so we're pretty much in the same boat." Being friends with Zlex would be hard. First, you'd have to prove that you were worth being friends with. It wasn't that Zlex was mean (because, by God, she wouldn't hurt a fly), yet, it was her pickyness of who could be her friends which made it sooo hard. Only Ricor proved to be that worthy, and there was a deep dark secret about why... |

"the only house starting with B is Byakko, so thats the house you must be in. my gift is kind of interesting but it was an accident. having a weapon is also good, they can be much easier to control sometimes." Terra thought of what Zlex thought when she told her to move back and turned into a dog to get dry "I hope I didn't startle you when I turned into a dog but I don't even have a room yet so I didn't have anything to dry myself off with, I know one other person in Byakko, his box kinda looked like a coffin which was kind of creepy, anyway maybe we could have lunch together or go on a hike on dragoon mountain or something." |

Irvine had just finished unpacking into his new dorm room and decided to go for a walk in the school grounds. He made every attempt to dodge people on his way and his journey had eventually led him beside the lake, and then he heard a voice I know one other person in Byakko, his box kinda looked like a coffin which was kind of creepy he was sure the girl's voice was talking about him, he had no idea people had already been aware of his arrival, but since they were still there they probably never heard of his family name, or about his history. If anyone knew what he has done they would definitly band together to destroy him, but it wasn't his fault, it was that evil half sister of his... As he approached the sound of talking he saw that there were two girls standing togethr, one was wearing all white clothes, and the other looked somewhat damp, she probably fell into the lake or something like that. He looked on as he walked past them, pulling his hat down over his eyes as was his custom around people... |

"Yes, Byakko was the name of it!" Zlex exclaimed after Terra had said it. It mattered little to Zlex; she hated the dorms. Then again, she'd be there for a little while longer to get all her stuff (which wasn't a lot in reality). She smiled as she listened to Terra skipping from a guy with a coffin-like box to adventuring Dragoon Mountain or going to lunch together. Zlex had little opposition from this. She had nothing better to do anyway. Besides, it might be fun hanging out with people again. A guy walked past her. Walked past her. It almost reminded her of her triplet brother. His name almost slipped out of her mouth. Yet, she noticed that it wasn't him. However, before this realization set into her, she had already laid a hand on his shoulder before he could completely pass. She laughed nervously as she shook her head and apologized. She threw and apology at the passing boy. Looking back at Terra, she laughed a little more. "I thought he was someone else." She explained to her before shaking her head. "But yeah, hanging out would be fun."... |

This only slightly startled Irvine, he must of wandered too close to the two without noticing, and it was unusual for someone to come into any contact with him willingly. Then there was a faint snapping noise, it was the clip that held his sword onto his belt, his original one was lost and he was trying out some he got on the way to AHS but the iron sheath appeared to be too much of a strain on them and they all broke so far. "who exactly did you think I was?" he asked the girl dressed in white while turning to pick up his sword from the ground, she really looked as if she was glowing on the green background of the grassy terrain. he was recognised back home, but never mistaken before to be another person and he began realising that around here he was an unknown nobody, and that thought pleased him to no end. But what didn't please him was how much she reminded him of his sister. |

"That's the guy I told you about, who exactly did you think he was? you either know him from somewhere or you just started imagining someone you know, was that it?" at that moment Terra turned to face the boy "so what's your name?" she asked him "my name is Terra and that's my friend Zlex" she told him. "I told her that you were in Byakko, if you are, maybe we could become friends, because we definitly need to get to know some people around here. maybe if Zlex and I have lunch together you could join us if you want, it's really up to you." then she turned back to zlex and asked "is that ok with you?" |

Did they really want to know who Zlex thought the guy was? She had heard that it was insultive to say that to anyone. She gently shrugged as another smile came upon her pale face. "You reminded me of Zelothece. He used to walk right past me...I always wanted him to stop for a while and at least talk to me. I guess the way you walked past me was very similar to how he used to." She answered without being specific as to who he was or why it was so important. Hadn't Zelothece saved her life? Saved her life just to later abandon her... Terra had asked her if it was ok having the guy join them for lunch. She tilted her head very slightly and glanced at the guy for a moment or two. What was it that made her think of her brother? What was it about him that stirred that memory within her? What.... "Sure, I don't mind." Zlex heard herself say as she nodded. Besides, she was interested in this guy...who was he??? |

"My name is Irvine" he answered, he was very unsure of how to handle an introduction, he was so used to everyone knowing him that his social skills were not very developed and being locked in a cage for five years didn't help either. "And yes I'm in Byakko though I've just moved in today" as he picked up his sword and inspected the broken clip he then added "well, I could join you if you really want me to" the clip was completely broken, 'if only they made them from stronger metal...' he whispered to himself. Zelothece, the name was starting to reminde him of another person, the one who's death caused Irvine to be sent here, but he was begining to like it here even if there was so much that would bring up his past, maybe these people would understand why... |

"nice sword" terra said as she turned towards Irvine, "so do you have a power of so sort or do you just have a sword? my power is to be able to turn into animals and zlex has special arrows for her bow. so when are you free? we could all sit down and get to know each other a little bit better. what exactly were you whispering about, has your sword broken or something." "not to be nosey or anything, but who is this Zelothece person was he a friend or family or someone you just know?" terra asked zlex as she wondered who zelothece was and how she thought that Irvine was him. |

Yes, indeed, Irvines sword was very nice. All the more to remind Zlex of Zelothece....and then of Zlax. Zlax, her triplet sister, who of all aliens was most feared. All who knew her stayed very far away from her. Zlax, that demonic cold-hearted intimidating monster....that was all Zlex could remember her for. But now, her violet eyes seemed to glow from the contrast of her pale skin. She didn't know how she would explain who Zelothece was. It was hard to explain even though it was simple in all actuality. "Zelothece? Oh, I'm one of three; triplets. He's my triplet brother. On my home planet, it's different from the way people think here. My race is very...." She paused to find a good word, "particular about the way relatives are perceived." And that was that. How was she to explain that love was prohibited on Hashinaru? That even loving your family could send you to your death? An alien that was an abomination to all aliens; that's what Zlex was. She could never follow in their footsteps....never follow....couldn't. Zelothece. He was the only one she could talk to when she was younger. The only one she felt close to. Yet....he always seemed to escape her and leave her....leave her on this beautiful earth where green ruled the plains and blue ruled the seas; where the skies are wonderful and filled with light. She wished Zelothece could see it now....but where was he? Where was her brother? Zlex gripped the hem of her shirt as she pondered upon these thoughts that had been buried until now. She could almost laugh the way these things always seemed to happen.... |

"home planet..." Irvine completly forgot about the clip when Zlex mentioned that, "I didn't know there were other planets with life on them other than this one" he felt a bit dumb for that, all his life he spent either reading or practicing with his sword, and it seemed like all that study time wasn't really worth it is he didn't know something that important. "and no my sword didn't break, its just a clip for it that did." he then added throwing the infamous clip into his pocket. "and as for a power... it's something I don't really want to talk about, not for now anyway" he knew they had a right to know, but how do you explain that you belong to a family of large angry beasts that will eat anyone they came across? visions of the morning of the day he was locked away began to arise in his mind, his sister disappearing mysteriously, his father beside him in his morfed state, and his mother, mostly found... |

"so your from a different planet, which one is it, not that I would know much about it anyway. I'm from this planet as you would of already known." when terra said that, it made the thoughts come back as she played around with the bell on her collar, her uncle changing her life and she didn't even see it coming. her powers would be such a big part of her life, nothing would ever be the same, well at least when she thought about it it wouldn't be the same. "I never knew someone who was a triplet before" terra stopped for a moment and thought of what it would be like to have brothers or sisters. |

Zlex nodded with a look of dignity on her face. She shrugged with that smile on her face. It wasn't the fact that she liked her planet that made her proud of being an alien, (because she hated her planet) but it was the vast education that they seemed to have that people who reside on Earth wouldn't know. Of course Zlex would know plenty about other planets; her people went against thousand of other planet-inhabited aliens because of their severe offensiveness. "There are many planets with life on them. I'm surprised that the teachers on earth only teach you about a few of them. There are thousands and thousands of other planets that people on earth haven't taken into account. Yet, that may be because they lie so far away from here. It's quite a wonder, really. My home planet is called Hashinaru. It's very far from here." She wished she could go on talking about how wonderful yet dreadful it was. Still, she kepted her mouth shut until they would ask her further questions on that matter. Hashinaru...she wouldn't mind seeing those awkward skies again. "I suppose being a triplet is a big deal here. Many people seem to think so. It is even rare in Hashinaru. The most that families usually have is twins." Again, a shrug. She didn't think much of it at all. No one probably would if they understood exactly how hard it was to live with people trying to turn you into a killing machine... |

I'm surprised that the teachers on earth only teach you about a few of them. "well, I never had a real teacher before, I always studied out of books in my library, I guess that's why my knowledge is a tad outdated" oops, he had just said 'his' library, then again maybe tey would think he just worked at one, though he didn't seem like a person who would work for anyone else, but then he just forgot about it and continued on, he didn't really care if people knew that he was rich and lived in a mansion atop a hill "I do believe the new books stopped arriving about the time I was born" oh, another bad memory arisen, was there nothing he could talk about that wouldn't do this to him? |

Zlex seemed quite amused at this new proposition. She, for one, had taken into consideration that perhaps he owned a library. Or at least, it sounded like he did from the way he talked of it. One thing about Zlex is that she's careful about how she perceives what another says; she didn't want her alien nationality to interfere with the way others thought of her...and that meant paying attention. "It must be wonderful." She commented about his library. "Even though the books in your library may not be up to date, it must be wonderful to have plenty to do in your spare time." She wasn't about to hide the fact that she had caught on. She had no reason to; why should she? Irvine didn't seem embarrassed at this, so it must be fine to talk about, right? "Why did it stop there? Didn't your family want more books to come in?" Her curiousity sprang up suddenly. This curiousity of hers...it was almost like a plague. It never ceased to make her wonder if people got sick of it... |

"Didn't your family want more books to come in?" Family, the one thing Irvine didn't understand, how could he? he hadn't had one since he was eight years old, and there, another one of his faults, getting rid of the one person, his real father, who knew what he was going through. He really hated himself for that. "I... don't have a family, not any more, not for about seven years now." He clutched th area over his chest with his hand, that was the one thing, or one of the things that brought out that thing in him to life. He knew it, when this feeeling came on it could burst out as it did the night he became the only one of his family line, probably the last, if he had a say in it. |

"you don't have a family! that's so sad, how did it happen, did they die in a crash, were they shot? oh sorry it's not my bussines I just think that it's horrible that you don't have a family. you must have been very lonely, wher did you go? did you have anyone to be with? you poor thing, are you still sad about it? oh I'm sorry I'm butting into your business again, I hope I didn't make you sad at all" terra thought of how sad Irvine must have been and felt sorry for him. she gave him a pat on the back and said "it will be okay, someday youll find someone to be with and they will make you happy" |

Zlex had to admit, she had been slightly shocked to hear that Irvine no longer had a family. Even she had a family...well...only if one took it literally. Yet, her family was probably dead now also. Murdered by the only ones that the aliens feared. It actually started to bring back memories of sleepless nights and torturesome days...the days in the concentration camp. Why that came to mind most vividly, however, was not manifest enough for Zlex to grasp. Then, Terra made her comments. She couldn't help but to feel as if Terra talked rather much. But perhaps that was what the humans would call speaking one's mind. It wasn't bothering her at all, because she liked listening as much as she liked talking, yet it seemed that Terra wanted so much knowledge in so little time. The least one could do was space out the questions during the conversation. Still, Zlex couldn't deny that she too wanted to know the answers to these questions. In all actuality, Zlex thought Terra was rather fun. The way she spoke without direct order was almost close to the way Zlex spoke without thinking and went off into all extents of random thoughts. That was something that could tie them together. At least Zlex didn't feel like the only one who couldn't seem to tame the tiger that was curiousity... |

"no crash or gun could ever stop my real parents before, so they definitly didn't die from something like that. And as to where I've been, I stayed in my house , living alone wasn't very hard for someone like me, I'm pretty much destined to being alone for the rest of my life anyway." hopefully that would satisfy the questions, but then if it came to how they did die, the only real explanation would be the simplest as well, that they were torn apart by a wild, angry monster. |

Irvine's answers sufficed for now. Zlex's true form of curiousity had not yet taken it's complete form anyway. It was a weird thing, her curiousity. In fact, curiousity had set her free from the bondage that she was in before she escaped her home planet. She had been alone for a long while. Only Madame was there to help her and teach her the ways of people on Earth. And even then, she felt rather alone and cold. She liked it. She liked being alone in the middle of nowhere. Although Irvine was in an environment that he knew, she considered his situation very closely tied to hers. This had weakened the idea that she was alone in all of her travels and studies. "Don't feel bad, Irvine." Zlex began with a slight tilt of her head. "I'm destined to be alone also." And she meant it. Sure, Ricor was there for her. But the big picture indicated that her whole life would be pretty much alone with nothing but the bow and arrows she was born with. And for some strange reason, that didn't bother her. She didn't want anybody...The last time she had someone they ended up breaking her.... |

terra couldn't help but wonder what really did happen to Irvine's parents and why Zlex said that she also was destined to be alone, but either way she still felt that she was butting into their personal business, asking too many questions and just plain talking too much. what kind of friend does all of that? not a good one that's for sure. she felt bad on the inside and tried not to look sad on the outside, but she still did. terra wished someone else would say something instead of her talking all the time she felt like such a blabbermouth. but hoped that the others didn't mind too much and still wanted to be friends. |

After a moment or two of awkward silence, Zlex glanced at Terra. The look of sadness in her eyes confused her. One minute Terra was talking and having a good time...then the next, she was sad and quiet. She slightly tilted her head. She had hoped that it wasn't something she did that caused this transformation of moods. "Terra....What's wrong?" She heard herself ask. "Is there something on your mind?" Perhaps she felt misplaced. That was always Zlex's reasoning. A feeling of being misplaced; like a toy that had fallen under the bed....a world in which one didn't belong. "What's the matter?" Zlex didn't want everything to go downhill now. Not after having such a lovely conversation; if one could indeed call it lovely... |
