Post #1778013 in Coming Undone, a roleplay on RPG

Ceridwen felt her ninja senses activating as soon as Noél popped back into the dorm. Even though Leo had yet to leave and play the part of knight-in-shining armor for his ladylove, she felt the strong urge to go into sneaky-mode. Lynn-Lynn’s best friend had just come on back into the apartment~ Ohhh, the things she could find out about her soul mate!! The chance to get to learn so very much was something she couldn’t pass up, she had a big, big chance here!

There wasn’t long left at all until the party, so if she wanted to get Noél alone and get some info out of him about Lynn, she need to do it ASAP! . . . .even if that meant leaving Leo to his own devices and saving Blossom on his own. The whole situation was a good catalyst for the beginnings of a dramatic love triangle, something Ceri knew she would be interfering in when the time came! Ahhh . . . it was like something out a movie, or a really cheesy teen-romance novel. The hyperactive little ninja did so love those. A bit of a creepy smile happened up along Ceridwen’s lips as she thought about the story that was about to begin before her.

Unlike getting to play a lead role, like in her own story, when the romance and drama began between Blossom and Leo, she would be playing a supporting role; if it were a movie, she’d go up for an award for best supporting actress, she knew it! Those two are SO going to wind up together this year, no matter what! she giggled as she thought about that. As Leo left to go carry out the duties imposed upon him by his last name, Ceridwen looked back and forth in a rather suspicious manner.

Now’s my chance to harass—I mean, glean information about Lynn-Lynn out of Noél~ And with those thoughts, the ninja was to her feet, darting to the mouth of the hallway, and sidling down it with her body pressed against the wall. That stilly smile was on her face again as she found herself thinking of Lynn. Whenever Lynn was involved, Ceridwen almost totally lost her mind. Almost being the key word there; even when she went on one of her tangents involving the boy, Ceridwen wasn’t completely lost to the realm of commonsense and decency. She knew when it was time to cool down and be collected; even if it didn’t seem like it.

A tiny giggle worked up from her throat as she poked her pigtailed-head around the doorway and looked into Noél room. She had every intention of sneaking up on the man in manner similar to how she had announced her arrival back at Bloodworth Prep to Leo; by dive bombing him. Yet, the silliness vanished from Ceridwen’s face, and she took to turning herself around and looking in on him, a pout forming on Ceridwen’s face when she saw that Noél was crying. Okay, whoever in the Hell made Lynn’s best friend cry is going to get their lights knocked out when I find out who they are!! she declared in her head, a look of annoyance passing over the girl’s features. Then, she sighed quietly, I might want to know more about my beloved, but even I won’t pester a man for information when they’re down like this. B-U-M-M-E-R~

The ninja found herself still watching him, truly curious as to what had made him so upset. Part of the reason she actually felt concern for Noél was due to several factors. One; he was Lynn’s best friend, Lynn was her future lover, so by extension, that made Noél one of her future best friends. And two; he was Leo’s roommate, her own best friend. If Ceridwen bore any connections to anyone that gave them some level of being her friend, her concern for their wellbeing and such was an automatic given. When she heard Noél’s phone ring, him getting up to get ready for the coming party, Ceri panicked and headed for the kitchen so he wouldn’t see her little head poking around the corner, spying on him.
A look of worry happened over the blonde’s face when she found herself leaning up against the refrigerator, setting an index finger to her chin she looked up and idly spoke to herself, “. . . .I wonder what happened to Noél.” With this, her amber eyes looked around the living area of Leo’s dorm, and seeing as the boy wasn’t yet back with his damsel in distress . . . she decided she was going to ask! A look of certainty appeared over her face and she nodded to herself.

She turned back around and headed down the hallway again; catching him right as he went into the bathroom, she knocked on the wall next to the door. “Excuse me, Noél?” she started, but when the front door opened again, Ceridwen turned around and looked back down the hall to see Leo coming into the dorm room, Blossom on his back. She squeaked, “Umm, never mind! I’ll ask you what I wanted to ask you later; and this time it won’t be something about Lynn-Lynn!”

With that, she turned around and headed back out to the living room, where Leo was treating Blossom’s ankle. Ceridwen watched the scene from the mouth of the hallway, a snide little grin upon the diminutive ninja’s face. Awwww~ How adorable! she thought with a cute little giggle. She skipped back out into the living room and sat herself upon the coffee table as soon as Leo finished wrapping up the woman’s ankle, a smile upon her face. “Hiya Blossom; how have you been doing since the last time I saw you? . . . .minus the whole injured ankle thingy that happened when you were talking to Leo on the phone earlier that is~”

Ceridwen smiled at the pinkheaded woman, kicking her legs a bit. Sure, she didn’t know how Blossom really felt about her, but unlike Leo, Ceri knew that she was more than aware of the antic she pulled in regards to the guys who had dared to hurt their mutual friend last year. Whether that made Blossom think her reckless, or brave, she didn’t know.

“Only twenty or so minutes left until the back-to-school party begins~” she sang as Leo came back in and dropped onto the couch, the Lynn-fangirl smiled at him, “Heheh, we all have a BIG night in store for us!!”

Lynn couldn’t help the melodramatic sigh that came up from her lungs. The party was soon, very soon now, like, not even a half-an-hour away. She was scared, really scared. Why was she so scared this time? Well, okay, so maybe the party was more like a rave then a party, so that gave her some grounds to be frightened of what might happen. . . . But, no, there was this horrible feeling in her, making her stomach churn. It was a feeling that Lynn didn’t completely understand, she just knew it was something almost foreboding, like a sixth sense or something. She let out a light moan when the tears began to try to fall on her, she shut her eyes and wiped the tears away.

I can’t get like this now. Lynn told herself. When Clark gave her a hard pat on her shoulder, she nearly jumped out of her skin he startled her so. The reverse-trapped heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at her roommate. Her melancholy was obvious enough to get him to notice, it weren’t as if Lynn were trying to garner attention from him, no, she didn’t want his attention at all. He reassured her, saying things would be fine tonight before he went over and sat on the couch.

Shaking her head, Lynn sighed, No, tonight is not going to be fine Clark. Something’s . . . going to happen, something bad. Her stomach churned more and Lynn grimaced, placing her hands over her diaphragm as she felt her breath hitch in her lungs.

Clark spoke up again, “Stick around with me if you’re nervous. I’ll keep an eye out for you.” And with this Lynn looked over at him with a bit of a look that reflected the sickness she felt in her gullet, and the sternness she felt for him speaking as if he were certain of her feelings. No, she wasn’t angry at him, Lynn knew he was trying to just be a nice guy, looking out for her and such, as he did for everyone. Clark Valentine was the sort of guy who was nice to everyone who was on his good side, and since Lynn hadn’t ever done anything to him or his friends, or anything in general, to get on anyone’s bad side, he was nice to her by default.

I know, he’s just trying to be nice to me because we’re stuck living together for the next year, but it does irritate me just a bit. she thought with a sigh. “Honestly, I’m not nervous. I’ve been to these parties before, I know what to expect for myself.” She told him, minding her voice so it didn’t slip up and sound too high of a pitch for a teenage boy. Lynn always did have a lower voice for a girl, but she still had her moments of sounding like every squealing female out there. . . .

With a sigh, Lynn rested her back against the wall she was leaning up against, and slid down to the floor, holding onto her stomach still; looking up at the ceiling. Should she tell him? “I’m going to level with you Clark, about why I go to these blasted parties when I hate them with every bit of my living being,” she started, “I only go because of the unease I have about Noél. He’s my best friend, more or less the only thing I have in my life that can be considered family, and I always am scared that when he goes into ‘night-mode,’ that something really, really bad might happen to him.’ Lynn’s voice cracked as she spoke the last bit of that sentence.

She had to let out a breath as she felt the tears trying to come again, “I handle myself fine, but I don’t drink or do anything stupid, so I’m always of sound mind, but not Noél.” Lynn swallowed, “And regarding tonight, for some reason, I have this sinking feeling in my stomach that something horrible will befall him tonight. I don’t know why, I just have it.”
