002 *Action* *Open* Muliple Choice

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Option A:


[Selphie is standing outside of the training center. The hallway is silent except for the occasional footsteps echoing from the surrounding halls. She is clutching an over-sized pair of nunchaku. The usual cheery grin is absent from her face. She looks...off. Tense. Worried.  A worried hand is twirling in her hair, displaying her agitation. She turns to face the door leading into the training center. her expression shifts into one of passionate determination. Her nunchaku clatter together as she takes a step forward.]


Option B:


[It is late in the evening and the school library is silent.Well, silent save for the rather loud snoring coming from a corner of the room. Snoozing lightly, Selphie is sitting at a table with her head on a open book. She had been  reading excitedly about a few of her favorite things when all those sleepless nights helping the GFC caught up with her. She just sort of collapsed mid-sentence on top of her book. Feel free to disturb her.]


Option C:


[A light clicking of a keyboard echos through an empty classroom somewhere in the school. Selphie sit is the classroom, her eyes attached to the screen of a Study Panel. For once, the hyperactive girl is still and focused. It is almost a shock to see her like this , in contrast to he usual demeanor. Every so often she will stop and leans back to gaze at her handiwork. If you happen to look over Selphie's shoulder you'll see a brightly colored website in the making.]

Option B - Library

[beautifulreader.livejournal.com]

[It was indeed late in the evening, though thankfully not yet curfew time, and Belle had juuuust finished reading her newest book. Happily, she closed it with a satisfied sigh. She gave the cover a small, content stare before suddenly glancing up startled.

What was that noise?

Standing up, with her book tucked safely in her arms, Belle crossed the library to investigate. All the way on the other side of the room, she found Selphie and couldn't help the bemused smile upon her face. Setting her book onto the table, she gently leaned down to the other woman and gently placed her hand atop her shoulder.]

Excuse me.

[ Selphie opens her eyes, blinking sleepily]

Oh! [ She sits of straight.] I fell asleep. [ Duh]

[beautifulreader.livejournal.com]

[Belle hides a laugh behind her hand.]

You had. I was just about to leave and thought it well to wake you before you slept through curfew.

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Thank you so so so much! Oh maaaaan. [ She stands up, gathering the books she had used as a pillow in her arms]

[beautifulreader.livejournal.com]

We still have some time.

[She tries to reassure, obviously lingering.]

I'll walk with you, back. Just two Instructor's working together.

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Oh! Thank you. [Grateful Smile]

[beautifulreader.livejournal.com]

My pleasure.

[She beams, waiting until Selphie has everything.]

Should we go, or did you have anything else to get?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[She looks around] I don't think so...

[beautifulreader.livejournal.com]

Well, then, let's get through before "detentions" are issued.

[Said a bit conspiratorially, teasing.]

Option A

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Don't worry, Selphie. The massive figure coming down the hall from the dorms is friendly! See the grin?]

Hey there. You look awful nervous for someone who has weapons larger than my thigh.

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Its just..kinda been a while since I've done any training.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Want a buddy while you're getting back into it? I could do with a little exercise myself.

[He punches his left palm with his right fist.]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ Grins] Sure! That would help!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Pre-fight checklist, then, to get you back in the game. GFs Junctioned? Got your paramagic stock set up right?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Check. Check. AAAAAAAAnd Check! [She claps her hands together.] Ready!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Lead the way, then!

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ Selphie lets the door slide away in front of her] Okey-dokey...

[Gulps and enters the room, looking over her shoulder]

HEY! I never caught your name!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Name's Snow. Martial Arts instructor, hero, and all-around cool guy.

[He winks, so not serious!]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ She is instantly put at ease by his cheerfulness] It nice to meetcha, sir! I bet that hero-ness and martial arts are gonna come in handy in here!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Hey, you gotta tell me your name too before we've technically met!

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[She blinks]

Oh, riiiiiiight! I'm Selphie Tilmitt, sir.

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Selphie? Cute name, so it suits. S'nice to meet you.

[He makes a broad gesture at the training center.]

Let's see how we do, huh?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[She nods and continues into the room]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Right into a group of grats.]

Oh, hey, that was lucky. So, you a caster, a frontline fighter?

[He punches his palm again, the brand on his left forearm shimmering faintly.]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Selphie quickly surveys the situation. Falling back almost instantly into the same combat mindset from so long ago,she readies herself to fight. The usually dim-witted monsters seem to be attempting to surround them.]

Doesn't matter as long as I can destroy the bad guys. [The amount of glee in her voice is almost frightening. Almost.]Though its pretty darn fun to zap something with Thunder!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

All right, then!

[The brand shimmers again. Paradigm Shift: Sentinel!]

[As one, all the grats turn to look at Snow in an ominous pause, before they explode in to motion, practically falling over themselves in their hurry to attack him.]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Wowie, sir! They sure seems to like you.

[ She bashes one of the lagging grats with a practically lazy flick of her nunchaku.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

I'm drawing them on purpose! I take the hits, you give 'em.

[He lifts his hands up to protect his torso and head. Steelguard![

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[He WANTED to be whacked? Well she guesses the big guy can take it.] OOOOOOh! I get it!

[She holds the nunchaku in front of her, standing as tall as a short girl like her can.]

Lets see how this works!

[Reaching upwards, Selphie lets the para-magic haze around her. She holds it for a moment then releases Thunder, taking out two grats. Squealing in delight, she resumes the 'whacking'.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Given that the grats can't even seem to put a tear in his coat, why not? 'Course, that might have something to do with the emblem shimmering on the back of the coat, right along with his defensive stance.]

I dunno what you were worried about. I don't think I'm the strong one here

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Selphie laughs at the thought of being stronger than the big guy taking all those hits]

Silly!

[ Squashing a grat with a whack of her nunchaku, she nearly falls. She regains her balance just in time to dodge an attack.]

STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[With their numbers winnowed, Snow decides to get a little more active. The brand on his arm shimmers as he draws his hand back, then hurls a chain of ice and water spells into the final grat just as fast as he can throw them.]

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Selphie gasps as she watches his dazzling display of magic. She is almost too distracted to dodge an attack. ALMOST.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Hey, look --

[She dodged that? Wow.]

...Nice moves.

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

When you are as small as me, you gotta learn to dodge!

[She is a bit disappointed to see the number if grats thinning. This was just getting fun! Selphie throws her hands out in front of her, preparing to use para-magic.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

That's why big guys like me learn to draw the attention!

[And when not to steal it. He has a hand up to attack, but holds off, letting her get the shot in instead.]

Option C

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

Hello. Anyone in here?

Re: Option C

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Selphie peeks over the screen and waves] I aaaaaam!

Re: Option C

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

What are you doing?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[ She seems positivity pleased to talk] I'm working on my website. Its super duper awesome! I haven't done it in sooooo long! Have you ever worked on a site? It sure is fun! You should try. [Rambles]

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

I've never actually worked on a website before.



What is your site about?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Once again, that eager smile]

Oh! Its about everything! I got my diary on it and a page about Sir Laguna.

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

So, websites can be about anything you want, right?

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

[Nods] Yeps! Who wants to make some laaaaame site about something they don't give a chocobo's butt about? It's pretty easy. [She moves over to give the other girl a better look]

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

You have done a good job with it.

[yellowzippers.livejournal.com]

Oh Thaaaank you so very much!

[blessedbylight.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.
