Re: HALO 180: Turn 360 Degrees And Moonwalk Away
[Catherine's Room]
Actually, the room does not start warming up. The angel boy might be warming the room up, but Catherine herself is one of the main sources of cold in the room, and she's angry, so if anything, the room is getting colder. Though more slowly now that he's warming it up.
Catherine stands there, in front of her desk, wings half open, room crackling around her, fury in her eyes, and panic in her brain. All in all, she's actually quite the imposing figure at the moment. She points at the now open door. "It's right there. Come back after midterms."
[Civvy's Room]
"I think no one bad. Just someone angry.
Is it that loud?" Civvy asks, eyebrow raised. "It doesn't seem too bad. Though if you want, we could go check it out?"Spoiler: Quotes

Spade looks up, and then back to Civvy and nods.
"Yeah, uh, sure. That sounds nice. I might, ah, need some help keeping up, though. Tiny legs and all." he says with a smile.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

[Catherine's Room]
The boy finally gets up slowly, pads over to the door and stays outside. He puts the door back on the door frame and the door repairs itself, only now it should be unlocked. If anyone were to find him, they'd see him behind the door, hugging his knees. He is sobbing.
[Civvy's Room]
"I dunno... maybe we should check it out. I'd have said there was no need, but angry person followed by loud shouting. Someone could be getting hurt."
Beat, then a gasp.
"Let's go help! We could be heroes! Or at least have done something good! Just like Kirby, we'd save HALO!" Felicity's eyes literally turn into sparkling blue stars for a moment. She switches into a triumphant pose, a hand on her hip and the other pointing towards the source of the noise. "Civvy and Fizzy, heroes of HALO." Felicity is getting ahead of herself, not that she cares. Everything is an adventure to her. And an opportunity to speak 50 syllables in under a minute.

Re: HALO 180: Turn 360 Degrees And Moonwalk Away
Catherine's Room
Aiden just decides to watch Catherine doing her thing. Sure, he could probably add to it, but he still looks human and he doesn't have a reason to change that. Besides, she was pretty impressive there. Maybe this Nexus wasn't so boring.
He takes a couple steps towards the door, then stops and sighs. "Tell me I don't have to go out there. This is the coolest place I've found since I got here."

[Catherine's Room]
Catherine just stands there for several more seconds, breathing fairly heavily, attempting to get her temper under control.
[Civvy's Room]
"Sure, let's." Civvy says, standing, and heading off to Catherine's room to intercept the angel boy.
[Entrance]
"Do you want to parrot it? And where would you prefer to head to?"
[Catherine's Room]
This snaps her out of her angry breathing! "Heh. Coolest." Then she blinks a few times, and with a loud shattering noise, the excess ice all breaks. "Yeah, go ahead, take a seat. But I still need to study. Though not sure I can right now.
Bleeeeh." Catherine complains, flopping down into her chair.Spoiler: Quotes

Re: HALO 180: Turn 360 Degrees And Moonwalk Away
[Civvy's Room => Catherine's Door]
Felicity flies after Civvy, then once again lands on her head as she heads to Catherine's room. When they get there, they see the angel boy. He looks like he's been crying his eyes out. He flinches when they come near.
"Look, Civvy! He has wings too! Like me!" Felicity observes as they get closer. "D'awww!" Felicity exclaims when they arrive. "Aren't you a cute little boy? I'm Felicity and this is Civvy! What's your name?"
The boy replies "Waxing-Lyrical. But y-you can c-call me Wa-Ly." He wipes his eyes with his small arms as he sniffles.
If Civvy can sense the power levels of angels, she'd find that this boy is really quite powerful, a lot more than you'd think given his personality. Thing is, he can't use and/or control the powers at will. She'd also sense a strong affinity for light. Also, she might feel the need to carry him, because he looks 'moe'.

Catherine's Room
Aiden takes a moment to realize why Catherine's chuckling. "Oh, I get it now," he says, going to plop down on the floor, back against the wall.
"Ugh, you said it. Who has time for a probably psyche paper when that just happened?"

"Hey kiddo." Civvy says, kneeling down a bit in front of him. "What's up?" She asks, smiling and cheerful.
She can, in fact, sense those, but she doesn't feel any sort of compulsion to carry him, aside from her own liking of kids, and disliking seeing people sad.
[Inside Catherine's Room]
"Friggin' physics test, and the paper's on The Art of War, and its lasting effects. And blaaaaarm this stupid paper." Catherine replies quietly, banging her head down onto the desk in front of her.Spoiler: Quotes

Re: HALO 180: Turn 360 Degrees And Moonwalk Away
Catherine's Room
Aiden perks up at the mention of the Art of War. "What, like the cultural effects? Cause those can be felt up to the 1949 Revolution and arguably present day. Nah, that's way too broad a topic. Strategy, maybe? I know Lü Meng was heavily influenced by it in his studies, it's probably why Wu was so successful against Wei. You should read through the sanguozhi, there's biographies on a lot of famous officers in the Three Kingdoms era, and that was prime time for Sun Tzu's work to be influential."
...Where did that come from.

She shouldn't feel any compulsion. She might want to coddle him, is all.
"Th-the d-dragon lady y-yelled at me! A-and t-there's a me-ean man t-too!" Wa-Ly says sadly, looking at Civvy. This lady is pink. Too pink. "Y-you're p-pink!" And the tiny lady too. She's covered in various shades of blue. Even their eyes are pink and blue, respectively. Nonetheless, Civvy's cheerful look helps to calm him down, somewhat. He tentatively reaches out to touch her face.
Felicity turns to look at Civvy. This isn't the time, but she can't resist whispering "Heroes!" Then, she flies to Wa-Ly and starts patting him on the head. "Don't worry! That dragon lady needs a stern talking to! Isn't that right, Civvy?"Last edited by Cyber Punk; 2015-03-06 at 09:21 AM.

"I'm always a fan of the library, myself!" Civvy informs him, smiling happily. "Shaaaaall we?"
[Inside Catherine's Room]
Catherine freezes for a moment while Aiden talks. Not literally, though it wouldn't be too weird if she did, what with the room and all. "All of that." Catherine says, sitting more upright. "Say all of that again." She finishes sitting up, and a pad of paper and pencil basically just materialized on her desk.
[Outside Catherine's Room]
"You're right! Tell you what. Felicity, you stay here and keep him company, and I'll go talk to the mean dragon lady, m'kay?"Spoiler: Quotes

"Well, okay. I'm a bit rusty on the subject, but here we go..." Aiden repeats what he'd said earlier, then starts to get into more detail. He starts with the Han campaign in Kuaiji, and manages to get all the way to the battle of Hefei Castle in 215 before realizing that he's gone on for a while.
"Oh, and Wu's ruling family claimed to be descended from Sun Wu, whom everyone calls Sun Tzu nowadays. That claim's impossible to verify, though, and most people take it with a heap of salt." Aiden shrugs. "Don't use me as a definite source, either. Go read some de Crespigny, he's way more thorough than I was."

"Well..." Felicity wanted to be the one to give the lady a stern talking to. She may not succeed, as she can be blown away by dragon shouts, but she can be 'persuasive'. Sometimes. "If you need anything..." She flies to Civvy's ear. "To be honest, can I go? Let big sister handle it." Even though Civvy and Wa-Ly seem kinda ordinary, Felicity can tell that there's something a bit... divine about the two. Still, she's not sure if Civvy's hundreds of years old, like her.
Wa-Ly seems to agree. They're both helping to soothe him, but he wants the pink lady, for reasons he can't explain. Maybe because she's pink. He tugs Civvy's arm and looks up at her with his big golden eyes. "S-stay?"

"Yeah, colleges are bad at history in general. Probably gave you a textbook that had like one chapter on the Three Kingdoms, I'll bet." Aiden doesn't correct Catherine on her pronouncing, she can figure it out later. "Glad I can help, it's a way cooler subject than your prof probably made it seem. Plus it gave me a break from looking for good fights."

Spade nods, and makes a bowing gesture onward. "Surely, Miss." he says, giving Civvy ample time and opportunity to pick him up as she suggested. I'm sure she's completely abhorrent to the idea and will only do it because she's so nice. She hates small fuzzy animals, right?Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Cool! Wish me luck!" Felicity hops off Civvy's shoulder, flies to the door and pushes it open. "I'm coming in!"
Wa-Ly smiles at the mention of ice cream and nods enthusiastically. "Y-yes, p-please!" He gets up and smiles. Pink is good. Not like gray. Gray is bad. "T-Thank y-you!"

"Onwards, then!" Civvy says, picking up the totally hated fuzzy creature. Tiny adorable creatures are the worst. Though she pets him a few times just to make sure, before putting him up on her shoulders, and heading off towards the library!
The library is, much as expected, a library! "What sort of books do you want?"
[Catherine's Room]
"So I've been finding out. Honestly, I'm not sure they were mentioned in our textbook at all.
Heh. Well. I appreciate it! And this'll make my paper a bit easier."
"All right. Thisaway." Civvy says, offering her hand to lead him off to the kitchen.
Also, Catherine's door has refrozen, as Felicity figures out probably after Civvy leaves.Spoiler: Quotes

At least Civvy could help her open the door! The stupid frozen door! Felicity makes a whiny sound, before hitting the door with all her might. "OPEN! THIS! DOOR! THIS! INSTANT! Please?" Felicity yells. Hopefully Catherine hears her.

Spade is very soft and warm, and doesn't object to being lightly petted by a kind young woman. Just as long as he gets to retain some dignity he's alright with being treated like the mouse that he is.

Aiden browses through the gigantic library of games. "You know, I've seen my fair share of treasure hordes, but this is easily my favorite," he says, before loading up Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, and choosing a team of characters that probably nobody will be surprised at. "Wait, maybe that one with the grenade launcher takes first place. This is definitely up there though."

"I'm really proud of that one. Wait. Grenade launcher? That sounds like it was fun." Catherine says, grinning at him, her pencil put down and definitely not working on a paper.

"Th-thank you!" The boy squeals in delight as he takes the bowl from her. He drops it on a nearby table and runs to hug Civvy's legs. "T-thank you!" He says again, before going back to feast on the bowl of ice cream. If Civvy likes, she can ask about him while he eats, since he might leave afterwards. Might.

"Yay!" Felicity cries out happily when she gets to the other side. Spotting the dragon lady, she flies over to her desk and faces her, an angry look on her face. "You made my friend cry!

Aiden grins at the memory. "Oh yeah, demon lord was being all big and bad my Nexus, so I went to take him down. That was a fun fight. Plus I got a grenade launcher out of it!" That weapon saw some good use, too. Shame it didn't come to this Nexus with him.
When Felicity suddenly appears, Aiden sighs and doesn't even stop playing the game in front of him. "You know, I know a café if you want a quiet place to study."
