0 · 351 views · located in Taketori City

a character in “The Night's Dance”, as played by Makenna Young

Description

Image
Image






✧ Name ✧
goes by Alastrina || "My name is Alastrina. What part of that don't you understand?"

✧ Age ✧
died at 21; current age unknown || "I find that it's distracting to keep count."

✧ Gender ✧
Female || "What kind of question is that?"

✧ Role ✧
Spirit One || "I was the very first guardian placed here, in the beginning of these troubles."

✧ Theme Song ✧
All Kinds of Kinds || Miranda Lambert

✧ Physical Description ✧
Alastrina has straight, light purple hair that falls to her shoulders elegantly. Her eyes are a deep brown, causing a dark feeling to overcome those who look into her orbs. She has a lithe form, standing at only five foot, three inches, her curves only slight, yet her stance and expressions reek maturity and womanhood. She moves with utmost grace, donning a dark magenta dress that trails behind her and hides her feet. Over that, she dons a black hooded cloak. Her shoes are black, heeled boots.

✧ Personality ✧
|| "Alas, it matters not how others view me, only if they heed me and the tales I tell them." ||
Alastrina is a very mysterious, secretive being. She reveals nothing about her past or feelings to anyone, including the other spirits. Many a time she will not even talk to them, not wanting to get distracted from her true purpose. They see only what she wants them to see; next to nothing. Alastrina has a certain charmistic aura surronding her; people can't help but be captivated and curious. She declares it a gift, something that helps herf fulfill her duties. She is very driven, but could be said to have tunnel-vision, unable to see anything but the bigger picture of what she wishes to achieve, therefore accidentally looking over the well-being and hearts of others.

✧ History ✧
|| "But, darling, if I told you my secrets, you'd never look at me the same way." ||
Alastrina tells no one about her history. Nobody knows that her true name is Aiko Kimaya, for one thing. For another, there's the fact that she knew Yoru, the Spirit Dancer, in her lifetime. For this reason she avoids him while still fulfilling her duties, frightened he'll recognize her. Alastrina was set to guard the theater shortly after the Spirit Dancer took up residence there, the very first to be given such a task. She adopted the alias "Alastrina" (translates to "helper of mankind") in order to protect her true identity and keep her mind on the present rather than the past.

✧ Other ✧
|| "Perhaps just one more thing." ||
Alastrina is a story-teller, a spirit who can make stories of the past come alive before everyone's eyes.







✧ Roleplay Sample ✧
A mysterious young woman sits in a chair in an old storage room, waving her hands in front of her systematically. As she does so, a ghostly, semi-transparent replica of a young woman by the name of Aiko Kimaya appears before her. The woman smiles softly. As long as her fellow guardians are not around, there is no harm to be had in a quick visit to her past. She blows on the image she has conjured, giving her a voice.

Aiko stands in front of a theater, looking up at its towering shape, lost in thought. Could the rumors be true? She cannot see how they could be, they sound like nothing more than taunting fantasy, designed to keep her questioning herself and what she knew was true.

"Are you really in there, Yoru?" she whispers beneath her breath. "They all say there's someone in there... If they're right, who else would it be? Who else could it be? It's been so long..."

Sighing, Aiko turns away from the theater on her heel, a single tear glistening in her eyes. No. She cannot stay here. It's too difficult, too painful. Maybe someday she'd be able to face the fact and pursue the answers to her questions. But not today. The wound is still a painful one. She must head home now, she knows. Now is not the time. Someday, perhaps. Someday...


The woman raises her hands, allowing the transluctant scene to disperse. She heaves a heavy sigh. Little did she know during that scene, she would soon be trapped in the very theater she had been too pained to enter. But she would no longer be the girl called Aiko Kimaya. No, she would become Alastrina, a guardian spirit with tales to tell, toil never done.

But she can no longer think back to those times. The others may invade at any given moment. She must now go, she knows. She always must leave, just like on that day centuries upon centuries ago.

"Ahh, there's nothing to do again today, huh?"


A figure was saying, in a very bored tone. A boy, who looked as if he was 16 years old leaned against a seat in the theater. He was looking up at the ceiling, that no one could see his face, unless they looked at him from the back. He snapped forward, strands of pale blonde hair flying forward as a black hood soon came to cover his head. "So boring in here. It's almost maddening." He kicked off, landing on his feet and starting to walk around. The guardians were patrolling, anyway, so--

Wait. The guardians were patrolling.

"That means the barrier's not up!" He thought as he looked at the doors. They weren't there. Grinning, he focused himself and, in a cloud of darkness, he disappeared from inside the theater and reappeared outside. He smirked. "Score for Yurasaki." He then dug around in his jacket pockets and took out a black spray can, grinning at the glare that the full moon gave it. "Today may not be as boring as I thought." Yoru whispered to himself as he ran away from the theater before any of the Spirit Guardians found him.







"Just another day for the black sheep of the Hayashi family."


Tsubaki thought as she finished packing the numerous crayons scattered around the room into the old toolbox that they now used as a crayon case of some sorts. She wiped some sweat off her brow, and looked at the sleeping child on the table. She sighed and poked the little girl a few times. "Hana. Hana. Wake up." The girl muttered something- gibberish, Tsubaki had thought- and then said, "Five more minutes."

"You've been asleep for 20 minutes and counting, and if you don't wake up soon, you'll miss the lights." The girl immediately sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Onee-chan.." Tsubaki crossed her arms over her chest and sighed. "They appear at 9:30, right?" Hana nodded enthusiastically. "Let's go to my room. I have a better view in my window." The little girl leaped off her chair and started trotting up the stairs, nearly tripping. Tsubaki caught her and lifted her bridal style, smirking as the girl laughed sweetly.

She placed Hana down on the armchair she had conveniently placed near the window so she could read and look at the sky and think all at the same time. As Hana looked out the window, she walked over to the fridge in her room. Since she barely went out except for school, most of the normal things she needed was there, in her room. Fridge, food, a small kitchen, hell, she even had her own bathroom. Bookshelves were lined on one side, and near her bed sat a few plushies and dolls Hana was learning to make. Her computer- used for research- was also at one corner, near the bookshelves. Digging around in the fridge, she pulled out a small red and white bottle, and another, a can of soda. The soda was for her, of course, since she was warned not to let Hana drink the "acid". Milk was for the little girl sitting at her armchair, since Hana had told her, "I wanna be as tall as Onee-chan!" and she knew that she also liked milk since it was creamy and cool.

She walked over to Hana and handed the red and white bottle to her, opening the can after lifting Hana and letting the child sit in her lap. The younger one took small sips from the creamy milk while Tsubaki took swigs from the can. "Look! Look, Onee-chan! It's there!" Hana pointed at the fireflies that started coming up. They looked like snow falling from the sky, except they were going up. She smiled softly. It was calming to her, how they went up. Like her spirits, when she was pumped up to fight.

When the light show ended, Hana had fallen asleep. Tsubaki carried her again, put the half-finished bottle of milk away, and brought her back to her room. After tucking the little girl in and slipping a teddy bear into her arms, she went back to her room and looked out the window.

"That light show got my spirits up, so.."

She stretched and went to the corner, booting up her computer and quickly sending all her groupmates for the thesis e-mails, each containing the same message.

"Hey, it's me, Tsubaki. You feel like coming over tomorrow, after school? Let's discuss the subject of our thesis and see what information we gathered." She leaned back and waited for the replies, looking at the full moon.

"Let's see what the night brings, and if you come again, Mr. Spirit Dancer." She dared.

Namid frowned slightly as she pulled herself up into a sitting position. She had fallen asleep in one of the theatres many rooms as she had been looking for a window, a door, some way out into the real world again. Her back and neck hurt from where she had curled up on a set of viewing couches that overlooked the main stage.

Shrugging it off, she yawned and scratch before glancing down. Gasping, she quickly ducked down as she saw one of the spirits patrolling the building. They didn't do it all the time and she could never figure out why they did, but their patrolling normally meant one thing. He was out.

Smiling, she quickly pulled herself up and began to make her way through the halls, looking into a few rooms as she passed them, trying to find Al. It wasn't often Yoru was out and it often meant he would be returning with another victim who had fallen for her trap.

The only chance she really ever got to try and escape was when he was out. The Spirits would sometimes get distracted when they noticed him missing and Nami would be able to enter parts of the Theater normally under guard.

He was getting out somehow and Nami would find it even if it killed her. Suddenly she halted as she backed up and looked into one of the rooms she had walked past. Inside she found the younger prisoner boy she had taken to calling Al and had grown to like when considering her only other company were 5 spirits and a deranged maniac that liked to keep people as toys...

"Hay Al, guess who's out for the day and probably won't be back for a while!", she called out to the boy as she entered the room, slinging her arms around his shoulders and smiling down at him.

Aoi woke up from her sleep and stretched her limbs, shooting a glance at every direction of that old, decrepit theater. She walked around by the windows, wondering at how quiet the place is right now. The darkness that engulfed the place reminded her that it was nighttime and the Spirit Dancer always tries to get out during long, boring times like this.

She walked outside and saw the ethereal cloak, which was some sort of trap she placed in case the barrier's down, was a little distorted, signalling that someone left the area. "It was probably Yoru." She thought. Some of her fellow guardians are quite tough on the guy. Not her though. She usually lets him go whenever he wants to.

"Oh well." She sighed as she headed back inside, after setting up the barrier again before the others go into a panic. She may be too late though.





"Open your eyes...

A silent whisper throughout the darkness of their current house woke Misaki up, as she rubbed her eyes, trying to ward off sleep. She got out of her bed and slipped on her slippers, looking for whoever said that to her. The sound was too surreal; it had er doubting whether it was a dream or not.

She went down to the kitchen and looked around, the light of the moon providing her with enough illumination to see clearly. It can also work against her, in this situation, if it had come from any rouge that managed to get in her house that time. Well, it depends if he was mortal or not.

She walked by the chairs and tables, standing like statues in the dark. No sign of anything. She even opened the fridge, (Yeah, as if some burglar was going to fit let alone hide in one.) but no luck. "Maybe it was a dream after all..." She thought as she made her way back to her room. Suddenly, a shadowy figure darted in her peripheral as she was climbing the stairs. It was a fleeting apparition, lasting only a split second. Still, she felt chills run up her spine, so she hurried on.

She reached the safety of the covers and willed herself to sleep. By sheer force of will, she managed to doze off. Next morning though, she woke up feeling a bit nauseous. She asked her mom to tell the teachers that she was feeling sick, which her mom also acknowledged. She laid on the bed again, feeling a little guilty on the inside. She knows that their grouping for their papers will be decided today so they could start on it during vacation. She regretted not being able to make it but hopefully, she'll make up for it tomorrow.

Siren felt a shudder go down her spine as she felt the monster slip away. She grit her teeth, obviously annoyed.
'Damn... If I had just kept a closer eye on him.'
Aoi was the one who raised up the barrier. Siren smiled and nodded her thanks to the blue spirit. Her smile then faded as she continued to patrol the area.
"Spirit Dancer..."
The mention of his name brought a bitter taste in her mouth. She continued to walk when she saw a girl with long blonde hair walking home alone. Normally, Siren wouldn't care about another human, but this one seemed to be one of her triggers to bring back her memories.
"Guys, I'll be supervising a girl with long blonde hair. I'll keep safe so please do the same."
Siren then sent the message to her fellow spirits and trailed after the girl with long blonde hair.

Amiya walked home alone late at night. Her eyes were filled with tears as she walked. Being alone both frightened her and furthered her depression. She would be forgotten and the thought made her depressed. Other than that, it had been an eventful day. She had gotten back from the mall and put most of her money to charity while some of it she decided to spend for herself since it was her birthday. She was about to make a left to go to the street near her house when in the corner of her eye, she saw a man with pale blonde hair leaking out from a black hoodie. He seemed to be running away and that thought worried her.
'Is he being abused?! What is he running from?'
Amiya could then feel a scary prescence behind her. Nearly screaming, she ran as fast as she could... and bumping into the man with pale blonde hair in the process. Amiya quickly wiped away stray tears.
"I'm sorry! I just felt someone follow me and-"
Amiya stopped when she got a better look at the man's face. In addition to his blonde hair, he had golden eyes that resembled a cat's. Completely forgetting her fear, she let out a squeal of delight and hugged the man tightly.
"You're so cute with your cat eyes~!"
Amiya then realized what she did and stopped, blushing brightly.
"Was that too much...? Ah! We need too get out of here!! That guy that was following me may still be here! Come on! Oh, I'm Amiya by the way!"
Amiya grabbed the man's hand and continued to run.

"WE ALL HAVE OUR SECRETS; some more than others..."






Alastrina treads soundlessly through the back halls, resting assured that the other Spirits have close eye on the entrances. They always do, it seems... Well, Aoi could get lazy when she felt like it, but no matter. Who could blame the poor girl? It's not as though everyone could have such a resolve, nor the motivation to fulfill such a trying task.

Siren's voice can be heard as though from af far, though Alastrina knows that the message has arrived only by way of mind. "Guys, I'll be supervising a girl with long blonde hair. I'll keep safe so please do the same."

The Pink Spirit nods to herself before sending a message back mentally. "Alright, Sister. My heart is with you, always so. Be safe, and be smart."

As the words filter from Alastrina's head, she allows herself to go invisible. And just in time, too. Just as she fades from sight fully, a solid, substantial girl hurries past excitedly. Though she is not solid or visible, Alastrina automatically presses up against the wall as the girl passes. Alastrina sighs sadly. Yoru must be out, and she cannot do nothing more than consol the prisoners for now; if she were to guide them out, the story of the Spirit Dancer would attract and endanger more fools. Besides, more than likely they'd be captured once more in due time. Who knew that Yoru would sink as low as kidnapping? That's not at all the young man she knew in life, but then again, she is not the same person either. Perhaps death unlocks a new self, a new state of being. But no matter. She must replace Siren up front, perhaps check on the poor imprisoned children and tell them a story before Yoru returns. One thing is for sure; the Spirit Dancer must never lay eye on her or it will all come crashing down.

Alitz listens to Namid without a word, as she seems to be moreso thinking out loud than talking to him, and he doesn't care much to interupt or misinterpret her line of thought before she has finished the sequence herself. It's only right that he doesn't intervene; he is but a fool, he knows quite well. Everyone has said it to him before, more likely than not.

A child still, in his own eyes even, Alitz does not like to raise false hopes. This is why he doesn't bother to hope for a cure to his rare illness, nor hope for escape or even decent treatment for Nami from the Spirit Dancer. All the same, he can't help but feel a slight flame of optimism from within his very being when the older girl comes to her conclusion.

"Maybe your right! Maybe only he and the spirits can get out, and if so then we just need to get them to let us out..."

Alitz shifts his weight from foot to foot in nervous apprehension. "Well, I guess it's worth a try. It's the best idea we have so..." He trails off, not even knowing himself where he was going with the broken sentence. Why he even started it, he knows not, and indeed feels a tad foolish for this reason, which may or may not be pointless. He's not sure he trusts his own assessment of himself, to be completely honest.

"Let's try and find Liberia, she's not to fond of the Spirit dancer if my observations are correct and she might just be our best bet. What do you think Al? Want to go a spirit hunting?"

Supressing an honest laugh at Nami's euphoria, Alitz gives a half-smile. "Well, it's better than just sitting here waiting for him to come back. Why not? This should be entertaining." His grin broadens. "Lead the way, warrior.

"Sisters, I'm in need of assistance. The Spirit Dancer and I are at a disagreement and I would appreciate any and all help."

Alastrina pauses, closing her eyes with a sigh at Siren's words. A "disagreement?" That could be anything, was it really worth calling alarm? All the same, she knows deep within herself that Siren wouldn't raise an alarm for nothing. Something is up, something not good at all.

Even though she wants to help, Alastrina knows that she cannot allow Yuro to see her, and that dwelling - even invisible - in his prescence is risky at best. Yet she knows she must help, and therefore turns to her gifts.

Alastrina twists her right wrist in an ascending motion, causing a misty, transluctant, colorless copy of Siren herself to arise in front of her, bow and all. Reaching within the figure she had created, the Pink Spirit pulls a handful of mist from the Siren replica, creating another. She repeats the process until four Siren replicas stand before her.

"I am afraid that I am preoccupied, Sister," she speaks out loud as she pushes the thought to Siren. "However, I will send assistance, in my own way. You will know when the help I have promised arrives."

Frowning, Alastrina hopes desperately against hope that the other Spirit Guardians don't notice her unwillingness to appear before Yoru, instead helping discreetly from the shadows. But without a doubt, they will notice eventually.

Snapping her fingers, Alastrina allows the four Sirens to disappear before her eyes, to transport to help the real Siren. She opens a viewing port - part of her gift - in front of her to watch the proceedings.

The Siren replicas each stand to a side of Yoru - one behind, one in front, one to the left, and one to the right. The each raise their bows and speak in unison, but the voice is not Siren's or Alastrina's, even though the latter is controlling their words, their robotic voices. "You've had your fun, Dancer. Kindly return with Aoi and Siren. I promise my Sisters will cause you no annoyance. You must return at some point, and my eyes are always on you. My Sisters and I cannot cause you pain, true. But beware of the pain you can cause yourself in the world of the living. Be wise."

"Oh.....wow." Yoru muttered, sweat rolling down his face when- almost- all the spirits appeared. Right now, there were 5 Sirens, one Aoi, and two Liberias. Or maybe they were her ladies in waiting, and the other 4 Sirens were just Alastrina's illusions. Either way, he didn't care, he was screwed anyway. Groaning, he struggled to look up at them. "Why.. is it that whenever I get caught with a girl you immediately assume I'm going to dance with her!? What the hell, there's not even an event!" He shouted, not minding the dark looks the others must be giving him. "Alright, I'll tell the truth only this time. That girl just randomly dragged me away in to the alley, okay?! Siren, what the hell were you thinking!?"

He glared at them before bowing his head and concentrating. The blonde disappeared, and then- It depended if the Spirits don't easily notice animals- what they didn't knew, was that the boy had teleported to a location a little far from them and turned himself into a cat, scampering away before they found him again.







Tsubaki woke up, staring directly at the ceiling. She slipped a hand under her green bangs, sighing. "What time is it..?" Glancing at the clock on her bedside table, she saw that it was 4:00 AM. "It's still so early.." "Either way, I'm still going to school anyway, so why not?" She sat up and started off, freshening up with a shower before making herself breakfast downstairs. Before she ate, though, she ran back upstairs and started knocking on one of the more familiar known doors to her. "Hana. Oi, Hana!" Opening the door, she gently pulled the covers off of the girl. "Hey, it's time to wake up." Her little sister yawned, stretched and sleepily sat up.

"Meet me downstairs for breakfast, alright?" Tsubaki left the room and ate ahead of her little sister. Checking her inbox for one more time before she left for school, she found an e-mail from Misaki.


"Sorry. I'm feeling a bit under the weather today. You can decide ahead if you want, really sorry Tsubaki-chan, I'll make up for it the day after tomorrow. :("

"It's alright. We'll inform you the next time you come to the meeting, if you ever do. Just kidding."

She decided to head out to school. After patting Hana's head and fixing her hair a little bit more, she left. As she reached the school, she had started to walk past Amiya's classroom when--


"Tsubaki-chan~"

And after that short calling of her name a pair of arms wrapped around her. "Oh, hey, morning, Ami." She greeted. The girl asked her about her day.

"Pretty normal, wake up and such, the usual." She replied. "Meeting at my house later, to remind you." She said with a slight smile.

Siren felt her face flush at her mistake.
"I... I'm sorry..."
Suddenly, her eyes widened. There was a huge pain that flared in her head.
(Flashback)
"-----, what were you thinking?!"
A girl with black hair ran over to the young girl with blonde hair laying on the ground. The girl's concern was obvious and her purple eyes shone with tears.
"Hehehe~ Sorry, -----, but I saw the tree and I just had to climb it! Besides, I should climb at least one tree in my life!"
"But your knee is all scratched up... We need to get you to a doctor!"
"You're such a worrywart, -----. I told you that I'll be okay. You gotta trust in me more."
"But..."
The blonde hugged the dark haired girl.
"I'm fine..."
The dark haired girl finally smiled.
"Okay... My sis should almost be done with her studies."
"Then we'll meet up tomorrow. Bye-bye!"
The dark haired girl watched as her friend left, a small smile on her face.

(End of flashback)
Siren's pain faded as soon as the memory ended. A small and shaky smile was on her face in addition to tears.
'There was no mention of a name anywhere... But, that blonde girl... Could she be connected to the one who drug the Spirit Dancer in the alley...? So many questions...'
Siren stood up and wiped away her tears.
"Sorry... I just gained another memory so the day wasn't a complete loss... Either way, I accept responsibility for my mistake."

Amiya smiled back at Tsubaki.
"Thank you for the reminder. Have a good day~"
Amiya then let go of Tsubaki and walked back to her seat. Looking at the class board, she prepared for morning exercises and got out her homework.

During free period, Amiya decided to check up on this Spirit Dancer. Walking over to the library, she found an available computer and decided to Google the Spirit Dancer. Many results popped up, most of them are linked to missing person's reports. One subject that caught her eye was the rumor that his partner killed him and he was just exacting revenge.
"What a horrible thing to happen to someone... But violence isn't the answer. Maybe I can help him...?"
Amiya doubted it. Another interesting thing was that none of the results showed his face.
"I wonder what he looks like."
Amiya got up from her chair and started to walk back to class. On her way she saw a cat. She smiled and waved hello at it before walking away.
'I'll feed it later before I meet up with the others. If it's still there...'

"He managed to get away huh..." Aoi witnessed Yoru shift into a cat and slide out from beneath her. "Well, whatever. We can't find him now." She told the other Spirits, though she was also aware of how Siren cringed at Yoru's outburst just now. She walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't let him get to you. You are the ones keeping him in check after all." She slowly let go then turned to return to the theater.

Along the way, she passed by a cat scampering away from the scene. "Must be Yoru." She sighed and passed him by without paying much attention. Arriving at the theater, she made her way back to her usual spot: The VIP lounge. She dropped her head on the makeshift bed she set up there and lied down, thinking about the days events.

"Siren had a memory come back to her. So why can't I?" Aoi sighed in defeat. Hearing Siren mention something about her memories coming back made her a bit jealous, she admits to herself.





"It's alright. We'll inform you the next time you come to the meeting, if you ever do. Just kidding."

Misaki breathed in relief. She never knew Tsubaki could make jokes like that. She always thought of her as a person who means what she says and is usually frank, to the point of being rude. Having finished her meal, she brought out the old photo album she unearthed. The police let them keep it after failing to find any relatives to the people in the photo. They took the urn though.

She flipped through the pages, seeing landscapes of an old time, reminding her somewhat of the old Victorian era in England. Her eyes fixated again on the image of the girl she saw one night.

"She really does look like me..." Misaki thought as she stared at the face of the woman, whose beautiful visage survived the tests of time, preserving herself in the dry pages of a photo album. Misaki flipped through some more pages of impressive landscape shots. An ancient carnival, steam trains, old cities, a theater etc... Just then an idea struck her.

"Hey! Maybe I can bring this tomorrow and suggest that we do one on preserving photographs!" She exclaimed in excitement. "B-but, m-maybe t-they'll laugh at the idea..." She suddenly felt a bit nervous. It would be the first time she would be talking to others in a long while.

Siren smiled slightly when Aoi comforted her. She could sense that Yoru was leaving in the form of a cat. She didn't really care, though. All that mattered to her was the safety of everyone else. Siren stood up slowly.
"Aside from that, I doubt that there was any other interference in the city. We should get going."
Siren started to walk, still reeling from her memory.

Amiya was running over to the school gate. Her class got out early so she wanted to be the first to greet the others. Amiya smiled a bit and then bumped into one of her friends.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, Ria-chan!"
Ria laughed a bit.
"I'm fine, Amiya. Say, where are you going?"
Amiya smiled at Ria.
"Ria-chan, I'm part of a group thesis in one of my classes. Since the vacation is coming up soon, we were going to decide on what our thesis should be today."
Ria raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously? My group decided on our thesis a day ago..."
Amiya panicked a bit.
"Huh?!"
"Heh, I don't have doubt that you'll create an interesting thesis though~"
Amiya sighed in relief.
"Well, in all honesty, I did have this one idea..."
"Hey, there you go~ Just don't let your group take advantage of you."
"Okay..."
"...Hey."
Ria's voice became serious.
"How are things at home? Are you okay...?"
Amiya smiled, but internally she was scared.
"I'm fine, Ria."
Ria raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure? I know how much you hate being alone..."
Amiya caved.
"Well... I could use some company until the others show up..."
Ria ruffled Amiya's hair.
"Sure thing, kiddo."

(OOC: Please ignore the Shizuka tag! Guardian was being a dumb and she accidentally clicked on Shizuka when she meant to click on Siren. Sorry! Won't happen again...)

Siren smiled at Alastrina.
"Thank you Sister... I'd like the company..."
Siren was grateful for the darkness to hide her slight blush. The Dark Spirit always had a bit of a crush on the Pink Spirit, but she dared not reveal her crush. She was almost certainly convinced that Alastrina may have feelings for the Spirit Dancer. The thought would always anger her a bit but she always kept her composure. For now, her thoughts were turned to getting to the port as soon as possible. Siren looked up at the night sky.
"The memory in question... It was a nice one. I was playing with a blonde haired girl. We both were young at the time of the memory. I'd like to say we were six..."
Siren smiled to herself. She always felt comfortable talking to Alastrina about her memories. She always felt a slight pride when regaining a memory of hers. She was approaching the port already and stood beside Alastrina.
"Has there been any disturbance yet?"

Amiya smiled at Tsubaki. She could tell that the stoic girl was happy.
'It must have been a prank. I want to be able to do that one day. I better have Tsubaki-chan teach me at some point.'
Ria raised an eyebrow.
"What's she doing here?"
Amiya looked over at her.
"Ria-chan, Tsubaki-chan is actually one of my group members. I think Kyon-kun is in my group too, and Misaki-chan and Eiko-chan and Takamori-kun and Kiyone-chan..."
Ria's eyes widened.
"Lucky! All I'm stuck with is the gossips that hang around class E-5. I swear, they never learn to shut up when it counts. Why do you get all the interesting people, huh?!"
Amiya's arms were raised up in surrender.
"I-It's not my fault! The teacher just picked us for a group, that's all!"
Ria smiled a bit.
"Amiya, I'm just messing with you. I just want to make sure they treat you right is all."
Ria cast a smiling glare at Tsubaki's direction as she said that. Amiya felt a nervous chuckle escape.
'Oh dear, Ria-chan's in trouble now...'
