[Open]

Date & Time: March 31st ; very early in the morning
Location: Rooftop of the Housing Building
Characters: Nepeta Leijon (

moirailcompass) and OPEN
Summary: After some morning exercise, Nepeta is enjoying the view from the roof after a morning run.
Warnings: Don't expect there to be any. Will update if needed.

Feel free to switch to action if you wish.

Way back when she first arrived in Balamb, it had taken Nepeta a long time to get use to what she called a 'human sleeping schedule'. Trolls were nocturnal creatures that operated during the night, and slept during the day. That was so long ago, so she had to wonder why now of all times she was wondering about it. Perhaps it was because this was the first time in a while she had actually watched the sun as it rose. Back in Balamb she did most of her morning runs inside. Here, she seemed to have more freedom in some ways, and less in others.

She supposed she could complain about it, but for now she just wanted to enjoy what she had. A nice view from the rooftop of her new home, a thermos full of tea, and that wonderful feeling of a runner's high. Not to mention that at any point she could visit her moirail. While things had certainly become tense, and she knew that they would probably only become more so she was just so happy to be reunited with him that it was all worth it. Life at Balamb had continued as always, and she had become super invested in her work but it was always a fight to keep her more unpleasant thoughts at bay each and every single day. Even if she wasn't in his presence, just knowing that he was only a couple doors away fill her with a sense of calm and happiness that only a moirail could bring.

There were things to be done, questions to be asked, but for now she was having this small respite to just enjoy herself.

[Rai was definitly unhappy about being pulled here, there was no real getting around that. His world had its faults, but all in all, he really wouldn't have had it any other way, petty whining aside. Which is why this place drove him up the wall.

But really, Rai's track record for authority had never been very good. At least he could let off some steam by training. It wouldn't do anyone any good if he decided to slack off now. Not when the chance to scrap was on the horizon with this mission. Boy did he want to scrap.]

[At least the roof was a good place to start and he could get his morning routine going. He didn't expect to find anyone else up there though, so he paused when he recognized his roomate.]

Morning.

[Nepeta's ears flickered at the sound of footsteps and she tensed a bit. With the Condesce around now she knew that she would need be careful about where she went and who she was seen by. The scent that was not slowly drifting towards her was not that of a troll though so she waited, and relaxed once she saw who it was.]

Hey. [As far as first impressions went, Rai had given her a pretty good one. Not that it was particularly hard to get on Nepeta's good side. In fact most people sort of defaulted there until they gave her a reason not to like them---and even then that was pretty hard considering what she was use to.]

Care fur some tea? [She held the thermos up, swinging it tantalizingly]

[Rai watched her swing the thermos, raising his eyebrows just a bit. Tea sounded pretty damn good right now actually.]

Dude. Yes. [Rai sidled up over next to her, expression expectant.]

[She smiled, always happy to find a fellow lover of tea. She uncapped the thermos and used said cap as a cup, pouring some tea up to the brim.]

Carefurl, it's still hot. [She held it out for him to take.] So what brings you up here?

[Tea was alright, but it also just reminded him of the temple. He tugged his sleeves forward a bit to use them as mits against the heat of the cap and took a minute to blow the steam away.]

Thought maybe I'd get some training in up here. Its pretty quiet and all. Plenty of space.

It is, isn't it? I'm surpurrised not more people come up here, but then maybe it's just beclaws it's so early. [Curiosity got the better of her]

What do you train in?

I wouldn't blame them. [Usually? Rai probably wouldn't have been up either but a lot of things lately have been keeping him from sleeping much. The situation, of course, but uh. Also something else that he would rather eat Jack's underwear than admit. (Hint: ninja fred.) ]

Butt-kicking, what else? [He grinned.] But I guess officially I should say something like Xiaolin martial arts blah blah blah and also I have wind powers.

[Curious, curious] Are you still able to use them since coming here? [While she assumed that Rai's wind powers, as he put it, were something more natural than the things she had learned in Balamb, she felt it best to warn him. Since coming here she had found she could no longer heal as she use to--but then she also found that her health had been restored]

Oh yeah, pretty sure. I mean, I haven't really put it to the test yet, but I think I would know if my element got taken away.

[Granted giving it a shot seemed like a pretty good idea now that he was on the roof. Plenty of space to kick up a whirlwind and all.]

I'd give it a try just in case. I'm not able to do some things I use to be. Better to find out now than in a situation where you need it.

[She had a good point. Alright. He handed the thermos cap back to Nepeta and jumped back to his feet. He then stepped back to the center of the roof to make sure he gave Nepeta enough space just in case.]

I'd hang onto something if I were you.

[Uhh. Hang onto something? Whelp, it wasn't exactly very good holding but the railing was the only thing that was close by so she took ahold of that. Here's hoping he wouldn't send her flying over the edge or something.

That would suck.]

[It totally would. Rai would have come after you though, if it did happen.]

[Anyway, he gave himself a minute to focus. Breathe in, breath out. He put his hands in front of him and suddenly the wind kicked up into a strong gust around them.

[Nepeta's grip tightened and she looked around. She could feel herself be lifted ever so slightly, but not enough to cause her alarm. She had seen the sort of things John could do when she watched him and the cute Dersite, so she had been expecting something like this.

She turned her gaze back to Rai with a little bit of envy.]

[Oh course by then he knew for sure his element was still present. That wasn't going to stop him from showing off.]

[Rai lifted himself off the ground now that the wind was strong enough and launched himself into the sky like a rocket, causing the wind around them to gust particularly hard while he got the momentum under him to go airborn. He didn't go far, though, and circled around back to the roof.]

[He'd discussed before with someone else here how awesome flying was but there really weren't words to put to the sort of feeling sailing through the air felt.]

[She watched him, a faint smile on her lips. She too remember what it was like to fly. She had had the ability whenever she woke up as her dreamself--an ability that had been taken away from her when she'd been killed by Jack.

She gave him a wave from her spot down below, letting go of her grip on the railing now that there wasn't a danger of her being blown off. It really did work similar to John's power--and Tavros' though she had never actually seen him use it. A lot of them had never really tapped into the powers given to them by the game--herself included.

Then again she had no idea what the hell 'heart' powers were suppose to do. Much like Karkat, she always felt her title was a joke at her expense.]

[And finally he let himself drop back down to the roof of the building, wind dissipating into a small breeze.]

Everything seems to be working fine! [He folded his hands behind his head and grinned.]

That is so pawesome! Have you always been able to do that? Or was it something you learned? [Have a little fangirling, Rai.]

Nepeta was not the only one that had taken to an early morning prowl--although in this case, prowl should be taken in the most literal sense of the word. It would be pointless to say something such as 'if Nepeta were paying attention' or 'if the troll happened to notice', because the individual that was walking on the ground would require an actual conscious effort to not notice.

The tall figure with horns longer than any troll Nepeta may have ever encountered and hair longer than the figure's body and horns combined, along with her gratuitous jewelry made her stick out like the most sore of thumbs. She appeared to be walking along the ground surrounding the building and to the untrained observer she appeared to be doing nothing but.

However, Nepeta was far from an untrained observer, right? Far be it to suggest what she would see, but one would hope the girl saw the individual for what she was: a most dangerous predator, perhaps the most dangerous one could ever encounter. Definitely in the top five, anyway.

Her Imperious Condescension did not appear to notice the troll atop the building.

What will you do, Nepeta?

Indeed. The moment she had come within her field of vision, the Condesce had immediately caught Nepeta's attention. She felt her body become cold and for a moment she stupidly, stupidly froze and found herself staring. It was uncanny, eerily so the resemblance she had to Feferi. Sure one couldn't mistake the two, but what differentiated them so much more in Nepeta's mind was their disposition. Were they to look exactly alike, one would still be able to tell which was which. Even from this distance the way in which they carried themselves was very distinct.

Nepeta gave a small jerk of her head and pulled away, heading back towards the rooftop entrance. What was she going to do? Well get out of here and head back to her dorm, of course. She wasn't going to be sticking around, and she hoped she hadn't been spotted. That would have put all of Equius' efforts to waste.
