Snippet #1750438

Delora just about had it now. After about... She had lost count, but it was more than enough times to be pushed out of the lunch line to her. She flipped part of her long scarf from behind her, putting her hands in a 'gun' like stance facing upward. She closed her eyes and grunted as she tried to 'focus' her Ki on the scarf, a bead of sweat came down her forehead. She couldn't help but open an eye, just a tiny bit, to see how she was doing, since she swore she had felt something. And it wasn't gas this time. She was delighted by the sight of her scarf floating seemingly by itself, "It's working! It wor-ACK!" She exclaimed, but then suddenly began chocking out and pulling frantically at the scarf that had somehow tightened instead of blowing students away. As she was pulling she stepped on a part of her scarf that had been dangling to the floor. While this did loosen her scarf before she suffocated to death, it made her tumble backward, knocking several people over.

She groaned as she got up and rubbed her head, "It didn't work..." she said disappointingly, about to walk away when she suddenly bumped into someone. She looked around as she realized that she had finally manged to get herself a spot in the lunch line, even with some jerks pushing everyone else out of the line to make sure that they got the food first. After managing to dodge some of the shoves that threatened to push her out once again, even fighting her way through a little, she managed to get her tray of food. For a moment she just stood there, giving the food the same look her parents would sometimes give her, the 'I am disappoint' look, "... Really? This is it?" After sitting down, she got a closer look at her food. The 'Savory Cream Strengthening Soup', once she had managed to get over how hot it was and the pain of having banged her knee against the table from having first tasted the soup, turned out to not be creamy at all. It was just plain old vegetable soup. Even the calamari looked normal. Delora thought that you had to be doing something wrong if you managed to make squid look boring, even if she had never tasted calamari, only heard of it. And deep frying snails? Really?

She sighed, taking a bite of the calamari, "Huh, not half bad," It sort of tasted rubbery, way too rubbery. Like she was trying to chew through a rubber band. Hopefully the snail wouldn't be as disappointing... This is better than any of the other boarding school food, but still, it's just like the other schools, serving pretentious-serving food just to look 'fancy'. She thought, but then an image of the man floating above the spikes flashed through her mind, What am I thinking?! The food might suck, but there's definitely something going on! Maybe... Maybe he's a psychic! She leaned towards a skinny, dark haired male, "You saw the guy floating over the spikes too, right?" She said, being determined that she couldn't have been the only one to see such a supernatural feat.
