Triggers: Violence, Gore, Sexual Themes

Brielle, his beautiful twin sister with curves in all the right places and then some to spare, raised her fist, offering her tattooed knuckles for Ryker to bump lightly with his own ones clad in wellies that had the remnants of dried blood peeking out from under their sea creature decorated exteriors. Glancing down at her manicured hand, his gray gaze fluttered back up to her own eyes, a direct mirror of his. "Just give me one," she hissed, hitching on a lovely term of endearment to the end,"dumbass." A little shorter than she was, particularly because of her four inch heels, Ryker lazily pounded her extended fingers with his own and rolled his eyes. "You're going to be fiiiine. Just... don't let anyone realize you're an absolute ridiculous wimp." He'd already started walking away, having swung his duffel over his left shoulder, but now he took a moment to tilt his head and glare back at the woman from the right. His messy black hair brushed against his lashes and he flicked those strands away before he straightened and strode onto campus. Sure, he'd be fine. Absolutely. The guy with the father who had graduated at the top of his class and come out a legend that everyone had at least heard of if they cared at all about the Magic Knight's...but Ryker was everything his his father, Vladya, was not....in the ways that the Academy cared about. He had no physical strength that he could boast about, didn't get clear, picture perfect marks in his regular classes at a REGULAR school in the first place, and he... he didn't really care too much about the whole 'Defenders of Justice and Keepers of the Peace' bullcrap that Vladya did. What the man considered his moral code and reason for living (besides, of course, his precious wife, Ry's mother). Sliding between the buildings that were labeled with numbers he couldn't begin to fathom being able to navigate without the piece of paper he now pulled from his pants pocket, Ryker widened his eyed and narrowly avoided bumping i

nto a stranger, most likely his age, by a hair. It wasn't his first time here, so the map wasn't really necessary, but with dorms that looked EXACTLY like one another, he was grateful for the marks he'd written down the previous week during his tour nonetheless. The good news was, to his great relief, he knew a couple other students who were to be here at the Academy. It was the only blessing to his curse of having been forced into something he didn't want to do. One of his best friends, Miles, was bound to show up once he got himself settled in his own dorm down the hall. Ry didn't mind the quiet away from the chaotic hallway as he stepped into the room. He threw the duffle on the bed furthest from the door and pulled the chair at the desk connected to his bed towards him before he collapsed into it and closed his eyes. Not five minutes later, the ruckus from outside suddenly erupted into the room when Miles and his roommate Daemion came flying in, loud as all hell. Ryker ignored them mostly, but they dragged him from the chair and he growled as he was pushed into the hallway yet again, too many loud noises hitting his system at once. @Mandragora (Fauna)

Alexis stood at the gates of Drake's Academy. The very school that her father had attended and became an official Magic Knight. She took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh autumn air. Standing there dressed in a white shirt with a orange long sleeve shirt over it. The sleeves rolled up to her elbows and the orange shirt left unbuttoned. Blue jeans that were slightly baggy with a black belt was her aesthetic. Her slightly dirty white sneakers seemed like they had seen many practice sessions with her father in the past. Brown dirt and green lawn clipping that dyed the bottom of her shoes. Alexis also had a chest binder wrapped firmly but comfortably around her bust, giving her that flat chest appearance. Here at Drake, it was a male-only school, mainly because the profession of a Magic Knight was left to men. As a child growing up with just her father, she learned to love and admire the man. Even going so far as to declare that she wanted to be just like him. Her father was the one person who didn't tell her 'no' and instead accepted her dreams. He was a good man until the very end. Now? She was finally here. Taking her first steps onto the campus with her rolling suitcase following close behind her, she walked casually through the campus. Passing by a building, she peered in from the window to see some students sitting at their desks taking notes during a lecture. In the reflection the sight of her light blonde hair styled off to the side could be seen. Her mixed colored eyes of blue and orange were like a vibrant mix of sunrise and sunset. Alright! I can finally start my journey to being the best knight ever! Maybe even better than dad! she grinned to herself, looking at the campus map she had in her other hand that had little doodles on the paths she'd take to get to her next classes. Circles around the classes as well as the names of them could be seen. There was also a circle around her dorm. Shit. That's right, she had to deal with roommates. It sho

uldn't be too bad. She was basically a guy on the inside. A tomboy at heart. But on the outside, beneath all the clothes and the chest binder? She was a female. That was a secret she'd have to take to the grave. Otherwise, her one and only shot at becoming a Magic Knight would be for naught. Alexis followed the map and the little directions she had squiggled on the paper to her dorm building. Entering inside, she could see and hear lots of rowdy males. Maybe it was the testosterone talking? Remaining calm, she made her way quickly up the stairs towards the 3rd floor. Lots of guys out in the hallways were conversing and high energy. Alexis squeezed past them as best she could. " Excuse me.. Sorry.. I gotta get by here.." she would say to each group she would sneak past. Her voice was actually rather neutral. Not deep like a male's nor high like a female's. A clear middle-ground. It worked well with her androgynous appearance as well. Plus, being here among men, none would think twice and just assume she was male. As Alexis was nearing her room, she had to pass by a couple of guys who had just come out of the room she was supposed to go into. Though she managed to wiggle her way through, brushing past a male with dark hair and gray eyes, bringing her bag into the room and shutting the door. "Peace and quiet.." she sighed at last before searching for the remaining bed and desk that wasn't occupied and began to unpack. Thankfully her attire was already masculine, so she had nothing to hide in terms of clothing or anything else that would normally give her away. @𝕻𝖆𝖗𝖟𝖎𝖛𝖆𝖑

Ryker would have missed the lean figured guy slipping into the shared dorm that had been assigned to him if he hadn't been nearly knocked over by Miles as he caught a ball that had been tossed towards the trio. But, as luck would have it, he didn't, and he sighed, defeat written all over his face. Daemion clapped him between his shoulder blades, laughing down at him after he had followed Ry's gaze to the now closed door. "Looks like you're stuck with a roommate after all!" Ryker turned, running a warm hand along the cool skin of the back of his nape before continuing alongside Miles, who was taller than both of them."Should we ask him if he wants to come with us??" Miles beat Ryker to the punch, cutting him off before he could say anything in response to Daemion's inquiry. "Hell no!" D held his hands up in mock surrender, offering up the reason as to why he had even considered it in the first place, which turned out to be not-so-brilliant. Nor that Daemion was ever 'brilliant.' "Dunno, he could be a pretty chill guy–" "I've literally got just enough money for a single pizza, and with the way you absolutely annihilate your food, that means Ryker and I have MAYBE two slices to ourselves." The guy shot a look of disgust towards his friend, and the hint of a smile tugged at Ryker's lips. Leave it to Miles to be doing math about fucking pizza. "You do realize," Dae shot back, taking the ball from Miles and chucking it as hard as he could down the hall in the direction from whence it had come, earning a curse from the guy who had thrown it in the first place, "that you're not the only one with money, right?" Ry wasn't necessarily short for a guy. Standing just below 6', he could easily slap the doorframe that they were about to pass under. Miles sighed, exasperated, then turned around on his heel and shoved the gray eyed boy back a step. "Go and get him, then, Ry." Shit, man. He stood still, unwilling to move for a moment before Daemion gave him a look and

he reversed, ducking as another ball was tossed through the air. When he was back at the room, he knocked on the door once before jiggling the handle just to see if it had indeed been left open. With a satisfying click, it turned, and he poked his head in. What the fuck was he supposed to say, 'Hi, I'm your roommate, we're getting pizza. Hurry up?' Only having given himself a second to think things through, he did exactly that. "Hey, uh….My name's Ryker…" fucking shit man, he didn't want to be the one doing this! "I'm your– your roommate, I guess." HE GUESSED? Ryker almost slapped himself in the face. "A couple of us are going out for pizza… Daemion figured it'd be a good idea to invite you since…" Swallowing his inability to get his words out right, he continued. "You wanna come?" @Mandragora (Fauna)

Alexis had been pulling her clothes out of her suitcase, making sure they were folded neatly before putting them away in the dresser near her bed. There were other things she needed to take out too like the framed photo of her and her father. It was the last one they had taken together before he was deployed with his squad and never came back. I'm here, dad. I'm finally at t he school you were at. I hope you are proud of me and wish me the best of luck. I wanna make a bunch of friends and have fun learning here. I'll be the best Magic Knight, maybe better than you.. she thought to herself, staring at the photo for what felt like ages. The sudden sound of a knock at the door caused her to zone back in to reality. Was someone at the door? Turning her head, she watched the doorknob turn, the click of the door as it began to open. Poking his head in, Alexis found that her roommate was the guy with the gray eyes. It's like.. a storm cloud.. she thought, staring at him a moment, almost not hearing what the male was saying until she zoned back in for a second time. She turned to face him fully now, watching how.. nervous.. he was. Was that the right word? Anyway, from his fumbling of words, the gist of it was that he was asking if she wanted to join her and his friends for pizza. Her eyes practically lit up in excitement. Yes! This was her chance to make friends. This had to be because of her father watching over her. A smile formed on her lips and she nodded her head, "Sure! A perfect time to get to know my roommate better and make some friends? Killing two birds with one stone here" she exclaimed before making sure her wallet was on her and walked towards the door near her roommate who was named Ryker. Alexis waited for him to move before she joined him outside in the hallway where it seemed to quiet down just a little. Better than nothing, she supposed. "My name is Alexis, but my friends call me Alex. Nice to meet ya roomie!" she smiled brightly, extendi

ng her hand for a handshake. God, pizza sounds so good right now.. I really shouldn't have rushed to get here.. @𝕻𝖆𝖗𝖟𝖎𝖛𝖆𝖑

Ryker quickly glanced at the items that the other guy, his roommate, had unpacked, while he waited for an answer. When he finally did speak up, Ry’s gray gaze snapped to attention and he held onto that door handle for dear life for a second. He didn’t know this guy…and if he was a level 9000 asshole, then he was going to be screwed for offering for him to join—even if it hadn’t even been his idea in the first place. However, his roommate’s eyes took on a light of their own at the mention of pizza. Food, he figured, was the cure for all things in life. Behind him, the sound of footsteps running towards him made him glance to the side to see who it was, and he found Daemion closing the distance from where he had been to where Ryker stood now, halfway leaning into the room. Daemion’s blonde head peeked around the corner just as the other guy stated his name. “Alexis? Isn’t that, like, a girls name?” He chuffed out a chuckle and Ryker shot him a look. Not helping. Alex, or so he was called, extended a hand for a handshake and Ryker looked down at it before slowly offering his own. “Ryker. And the jerkwad is Daemion.” A call from down the hall alerted them that Miles was getting hangry, and Daemion shouted back a couple of curse words to him, telling him to keep his dick in his pants and that they were coming. Ryker realized that he was still holding onto the others’ hand and he quickly let go, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly before shifting his weight to his left leg. “Miles is waiting—let’s go.” And with a quick turn, he strode past his friend, dodging a hackey-sack being tossed between two doors before rejoining the other. Assuming that the newbie would follow, Ryker held back a few steps, allowing Daemion and Alex to catch up before the four continued off campus together and into the town that was connected to the school where a lot of the students would go for studying, breaks, food, shopping… While they walked, Daemion gave Alex a quic

k look over, then grinned. “You must be new to the area, I’ve never seen you before!” Ry glanced over and looked the other up and down. D was right, he’d never seen the other either. “Did you transfer in from out of town?” @Mandragora (Fauna)

Alexis, who remained unfazed by the male named Daemion whom had poked his head into the room at the mention of her name. "Actually, it's Gender-Neutral. But if it bothers you too much, you can just use Alex" the female grinned. She wasn't going to back down to the light bullying from this jerk. "Daemion and Ryker, eh.." she spoke, her eyes shining bright at the fact that the man in front of her named Ryker was at least nice enough to accept the handshake. It seemed the other male who was out in the hallway by the name of Miles was getting a bit impatient, so she decided not to keep the lot waiting any longer. The female followed after Ryker, closing the door behind her and walking quickly to keep up with them. All the while trying to get around the chaos of the dorm rooms area. Hopefully this shit settles down.. she thought to herself. Eventually the group had made it off campus and into the nearby town. Alexis was rather awestruck at the architecture and seeing all the different shops around them. The last time she had been to a town like this was when she was much younger. This was back when her father was still alive. I'll do my best, dad. My first outing with some friends. Well, one of them is alright. The other two not so much.. As she walked along with the group, still admiring the town; Daemion's comment to her brought her to look at the male for a few seconds. She was trying to gauge what sort of conversation he was trying to start. It seemed that Ryker was also curious. What should she say? Do I lie? Make something up? But is it really a lie if some details aren't mentioned? No, surely not.. "Yeah, you could say that. I used to live with my father on the outskirts. He was a great Magic Knight. I never really got out too much, was always busy at home practicing or studying.." she laughs, rubbing her neck a bit embarrassed. "So to answer your questions, yes and no. New to the area, but not a transfer per se.." *That was about as vague a

s I could make it.. Hopefully it's enough..* @𝕻𝖆𝖗𝖟𝖎𝖛𝖆𝖑
