She bleeped out the talky bits, but that just made it worse. It felt like playing on of those games where every entity on the planet suffers from asthma and can only attack one turn after another.
β¦..
Didn't help that the other kid had the egotistical confidence of some card-carrying villain. β Oh cruel world, why must we live with these people.
I mean, yes, Kieran was just as over-his-head cocky as the other boy, but at least give him credit for enjoying it. The other one just seem to pass it off has a bore.
βOH MRS. BRUMFIELD! I think I'm done with this fight.β
β Hadn't even realised it started.
Unless it was a battle of words, did this not count as a fight.
βHey Melody, enjoy the show?β
An eyebrow arched up in Kieran's direction. No. no she didn't.
βOne-sided. You'd have won if only for entertainment bonus.β The blonde girl retorted with a forced smile.
Liar! Went a little braincell. You didn't enjoy any of it! And stop smiling, you look like some doofus doing that.
β Whatever,
They'd have forgotten anything she had said and done by the time they woke up, like she would their names, faces and anything else that would leave some type of impression.
Well something came along to add bitterness to the mood. Like the inevitable buzz-kill that she was, the teacher did not approve of a certain someone's way of withdrawing.
What? Did she want us to hold our pinky up and formally address the matter of withdrawal? What school is this? The College of the Bland and Uninteresting? β Cut him some slack. He didn't, sodding, do anything.
*Crack*
See? Now things are cracking, great job on annoying Melody β wait, it wasn't her, was it? Then, who?
The blonde felt a remaining rocks, more a pebble, tapping the back of her head which had her watch what the buggery Hell was going on behind her.
Nothi- OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK IS THAT!
The infinite power of whatever deity we're supposed to revere compels you!
Melody flinched, though her expression seemingly unfazed, at the sight of this- this thing. A giant creature that, compared to most other demons, was seemingly more along the lines of what the girl's mind could imagine. Dark, shady and utterly lustful for eating shit.
It's staring. It's staring, dammit! It wants me for dinner! Get it away!
βWow you are just a beauty!β
Nooo..... The proper response is: βWAAAAAAH!β
A hand instinctively slapped itself in front of Melody's mouth, blue eyes staring away from the 'actual' demonic creature and watching as how much of a fool she had made out of herself.
She screamed, she actually screamed, didn't she? And- Why did she had her hand tightly clenched around Kieran's arm?
βSorry!β She retorted in embarrassment, releasing the boy's arm and turning away from both him and the demonic entity. God did she wish the ground would open up and swallow her right about now...
Lorelei awoke from the act of her Magni, jumping up as she witnessed first-hand what Melody just screamed at and, on instinct, began her less than pointless attack on the frightening creature β Which was nothing more than summoning a splash of water into said demon's face, along with a serious evil-eye from the little demon herself.
