I wanna go home.

((RP account for my neopet Akassuni for Neohigh. At present, for characterization reasons, this blog is not in character, but will merely be used for roleplaying. As this is a side blog, follows will be recieved from the account "Firespires."))

[akassuni]

As with every night, because of a habit of her old home, Akassuni left her house and strode down the sidewalk, getting started on an already memorized "circle" through the mostly residential part of Neopia Central.  She would leave home, walk around for an hour(or two, or three now and then) and wind up back home once the circle was done.  Then, and only then, did she feel she could comfortably sleep.

But if she kept getting into situations like this one, she might have to simply look into getting a hold of a treadmill.

It wasn't a particularly bad situation--merely one that the proud Darigan Uni would have preferred to avoid.  She wasn't fond of that she, who sometimes considered going out of her way to avoid speaking to the grounded Neopians at school, kept running into people from there at absurd hours that most "normal" people would probably be asleep, or at least inside and with no intention of leaving home/

Somewhat towards the end of her walk, about seven turns and crosses, if you asked her, there was a quaint little store.  She'd never really bothered stopping in--home was well-supplied on most occasions--but if she was calculating correctly(something she liked to think she was doing despite her lackluster skills at math) they would be out of milk the following morning, so she might as well at least check the prices.  Perhaps, while she was there, she could get her Dracknack a snack for his good behavior--he was adapting a bit better than she was, and that deserved some recognition, at least.

Pausing to look up at the sound of the bell that indicated a customer's entry(not that they didn't have such things on the Citadel, but it still sounded different), Akassuni strode in, heading towards the refrigerated section.  She couldn't help but wince a bit--it wasn't nearly as well-lit outside, of course, especially at this hour. . . .

[akassuni]

I apologize if this is obvious or already answered but are Akassuni's hooves actual hooves, or are they more hand like?

Xkit says you sent this two days ago but my emails say you sent it an hour ago while I was out I HOPE THIS QUESTION ISN'T TWO DAYS OLD

uh generally I picture her with hooves.  Because apparently Unis don't need fingers.

Plus since she's being trained to actually be ridden on and all(and fight but "mount" is the main part), I assume she would be more of a normal Uni and less of an anthro one, though she has no problem walking bipedal.

It wasn’t so much her rude behavior that had fazed Dashwinds as much as the thought that he’d insulted her did, Of course there was a difference between an exchange student and a transfer student! How could he have missed that? “Oh, sorry.” he said, sounding apologetic,…

[neohighshinanigans]

“Oh, yeah, I’d love to!” Dash said, smiling, “Maybe I should sign up for one of those exchange student programs…” He trailed off, so caught up in his thoughts about this transfer student that he remained oblivious to her increasingly-becoming-obvious hints about leaving her alone. It did explain his mediocre English grade, having never gotten all the metaphors and symbolism from the books assigned. 

He leaned forward, listening with interest to what she had to say. A machine? He wouldn’t have guessed, how did it work? And if there was something keeping it afloat, did that mean that it could move around, like some sort of high-flying battleship? 

“Uh, well…” he paused, “What’sit like there? And what’s your name? I’m Dashwinds, but feel free to call me anything else.”

[akassuni]

Akassuni's tail flicked, but she didn't interrupt his thoughts.  If he wouldn't go away, perhaps he could be quiet.  That would be slightly more bearable and easily ignored. . . .

"You kinda asked me that already."  Again, her tail made an irritated, jerky movement, but she leaned over her book again, opening it, though she began getting caught in what she could tell him, positive that he'd simply ask for more information.  She could talk about the geography, demographics, maybe a little history. . .nothing he couldn't find online or in a book, really.  But hopefully it'd get him off her back.

Oh, but he was asking about her now. . . .  "Everyone calls me Akassuni."

Kassi's Classes

aren't you glad i didn't spell that with a k

Algebra 2(she had to take a placement test before being allowed in the school and didn't do so well on math hence why she has to take one in her senior year)

Anatomy

Government

YNHA(it's by her concern for her attendance record alone that she doesn't just go and sneak out of school and go home or back to the Citadel from there)

Computers

Mythology

Health

actual schedule will probably be worked on when I see someone else's or something.

It wasn't so much her rude behavior that had fazed Dashwinds as much as the thought that he'd insulted her did, Of course there was a difference between an exchange student and a transfer student! How could he have missed that? "Oh, sorry." he said, sounding apologetic, "It's just that other lands are really interesting to me and..." he trailed off, pausing, "... is the Darigan Citadel like how Faerieland used to be? In terms of how it's all mystically floating and stuff? Can you actually fly to the Darigan Citadel?" and just like that, his usual optimism was back in his voice. While hating to really upset anyone, the hint went right over his head. 

[akassuni]

Unsure what he was apologizing about, she simply didn’t respond, walking over to a comfortable-looking seat by the door to sit down.  Her eye twitched a bit upon noticing Dash had followed her, but she decided to indulge his curiosity.  ”You should try going to one, then.”  She found them interesting, too, but felt like she would be betraying home by leaving willingly.  ”Only a couple of places have language barriers.  You might as well get a head start.”  Head start as in ‘leave, now.’

After placing the book on the table she pressed her hooves together with a light click.  ”There’s an engine that powers the things keeping it afloat.  It’s not mystical at all.”  At the mention of flying, her own wings fluttered a bit.  She didn’t mind answering his questions, but it made her feel awfully tense…like she was a prisoner of war giving away secrets.  She tried to be as vague as possible.  ”If I could fly there, I wouldn’t be here.  It’s possible, but I’d have to be closer to make the full trip in one try.  It’s much easier to just go to Meridell and go up from there.  Are you done asking questions?”

In the Darigan Citadel, the military academy Akassuni attended had a few peculiar extracurricular activities. She, herself, had been part of one that most everyone simply referred to as “patrolling”—the entire deal was something like partial police training in the off chance that, for some reason,…

[porphery-deactivated20130707]

It became one of those night, where he couldn’t sleep. A restless night. It aggravated him to no end; how he grew a bad habit of not sleeping much. When did it start? He couldn’t remember. Since a young pup he’s always had the habit of staying up late and not sleeping enough. But it didn’t stop his day, nor did many even notice as his behavior was always the same. Calm and in a way distant.

Or huffed loudly as he began to walk outside of his house to sit at the porch and probably star gaze for a while. He adored to look at the night sky, and really adored it so when the night was clear and shinning brightly with stars just like today.

As he walked himself out, his ears perked up quickly, hearing and weakly sensing that he was not alone. A bit panicked, he began to hold his breath without knowing it and stayed hidden within the shadows. Watching to see who would walk by.

[akassuni]

Or, luckily, wasn’t hearing things.  Akassuni came around the corner shortly after he’d begun holding his breath, trotting down the sidewalk with her head forward.  As used to the dark as any Darigan Citadel native, she was vaguely aware of him but wasn’t concerned enough to change her pace or say a word to him.  She did this every evening, after all—and if something troublesome or suspicious happened here, that was fine, as long as she wasn’t involved.  Practically operating on autopilot, she continued on her way past Porphery without so much as a glance.

He wasn’t bothering her, after all.  (And it hadn’t occurred to her that she may have been bothering him somehow.)

[porphery-deactivated20130707]

Or’s eye’s widened as he recognized the girl that walked by. She was the one that had confronted him the other day to suck it up and be a real Darigan. His lips thinned as he recalled the memory. A taint of pink heating up his face, as he was not use to being told such things. Or for the more, being seen at his most weakest points. He wanted to say something to her. He wanted to speak up, as he had never really seen a Darigan, straight from Darigan Citadel. His grandparents told him stories of things that had happened there.

But a young one. He had now grown urges to show her, prove her, that Darigan’s from the City where not all that weak themselves. So he grew the courage to speak with her. Tell her something. Biting his lower lip, he smoothly paced his way towards her, his voice unsure but strong, “H-hey!”

[akassuni]

Akassuni froze, her ears flicking backwards and wings shooting up in surprise.  However, she was quick to settle down, folding her wings back into place and turning her head to frown at and look over the approaching Lupe.  Of course she knew he was addressing her--she was kind of the only one outside besides him.  Her tail flicked in slight agitation at the interruption, but she was otherwise about as calm as usual.

This guy. . .was the Lupe she'd confronted the other day, having incidentally heard him crying about Fyora-knows-what on her walk.  Normally she wouldn't have had bothered if he hadn't obviously been a Darigan Lupe and if seeing one of her own kind crying hadn't bothered her when there wasn't an apparent reason for it.  With a huff, she turned slightly more fully, clopping her forehooves against the pavement a bit.

"Is something the matter?"  Was he going to start crying again?

[akassuni]

I made a relations page like everyone else has.  u3u  lol technically nothing's on it yet because we've only just begun but any relations that're being discussed will also be logged here.

If we roleplay, it'll also be logged into this post!

And if you want to roleplay, there's a page for that, too! (Which really just says "send me an ask so we can work something out" and some other stuff but mostly that.)

[akassuni]

She’d been in the school for half a school year already—and in Neopia Central the entire time, unfortunately. She saw the library, bookstore, everyday, and the school library when she got the chance as well. But it still stunned her everytime she saw it. She’d never seen so many books, so well…

[neohighshinanigans]

Dashwinds wandered the library, skimming over all the books. Compared to just reading, the more active environment of the classroom was better for him, but that certainly didn’t mean that he didn’t like coming over here once in awhile to check out a good book. It was even better when it was true- just think, all of these amazing events, and they all actually happened! The thought of someday experiencing history himself only made him more excited, curling his toes within his shoes. 

Peeking over a shelf, he had only meant to see what other sections there were, but instead caught the sight of another student, “Oh,” remembering the rules of such a place, he quickly quieted his voice as he neared her, “your… an exchange student, aren’t you?” he couldn’t help but have a bit of thrill to his voice. He always had an interest in other lands, and as such this went to exchange students as well, although he was never one to hesitate in making a new friend, “Darigan Citadel, right? What’s it like?” he quickly delved into the questions. 

[akassuni]

Part of Akassuni wondered if anyone was getting tired of the way she was practically circling several of the shelves at this point.  She couldn’t help it—she was far more excited than she wanted to let on! They would simply have to deal with her Nuranna-like behavior for now. However she had paused to admire some of the books, possibly about ready to make a decision and take one off the shelf when she saw Dashwinds’ [somewhat excessively] bright fur out the corner of her eye.  While her intent was to ignore him, he seemed to be addressing her… .

“Not an exchange student.”  She scoffed, hoping her tone would get across that she wanted him away from her.  ”Transfer student.  If I were an exchange student I could at least remember that someone who should be here is suffering in my place.”  That would have made it more bearable to be in this land, at least.  She pulled one of the books down, examining its cover, nodding when he mentioned the Citadel, then turning her head to scowl at him.  ”It’s a bit warmer than it is here, at least right now.  Darker too.  What’s it to you?”

Turning on her hoof, Akassuni stepped out from the many rows of books to look for somewhere secluded to sit and read for the remainder of the period, hoping Dashwinds would take the hint and not follow her.

[akassuni]

In the Darigan Citadel, the military academy Akassuni attended had a few peculiar extracurricular activities.  She, herself, had been part of one that most everyone simply referred to as "patrolling"--the entire deal was something like partial police training in the off chance that, for some reason, one could not or decided against going into the military after schooling, they could join the Darigan Police Force.  Along with the bits of police training received  they were employed to help the force with various tasks such as patrolling the Citadel at night, tracking down potential criminals, taking care of records, and whatever else the force felt like dropping on the kids.

But there was a lot of patrolling.

Akassuni, as part of that patrolling, was not used to going to bed until around midnight or even later, as she spent many of her post-class nights walking about the Citadel as she had for the past couple of years.  Sometimes things happened, other times it was simply peaceful strolling about at night and a good way to clear her head.  (And, once in awhile  she ran into a Gelert with a couple of scars on his face that she had a sneaking suspicion had something to do with a couple of arsons that happened now and then, but she had no evidence for that.)

However, having moved to Neopia Central she could no longer do that.  But if she tried to go to bed any earlier than normal--or worse, not walk around for at least an hour before bed--she ached and couldn't sleep.  So she took it upon herself to plot out a route for her to "patrol" every night.  And she walked that same route every night, unless the weather was that bad or there was some strange occurrence that prevented it.

It was merely coincidence that she happened by one(if not more) of her classmates' houses every night, simply marching along, occasionally looking about but mostly keeping her gaze forward as not to miss any turns or get lost.

And it wasn't her fault if her hooves made enough noise for oversensitive Lupe ears to hear.

[akassuni]

She'd been in the school for half a school year already--and in Neopia Central the entire time, unfortunately.  She saw the library, bookstore, everyday, and the school library when she got the chance as well.  But it still stunned her everytime she saw it.  She'd never seen so many books, so well organized, all in one place. . . !  Just there for her to read over and over again--nonmagical so they wouldn't disappear once she finished the last sentence, nor would they push their knowledge and memory into her head.  Within reach every single day.

If there was one thing she liked about Neopia Central, it was that getting books was less of a process   When she could, she simply stocked up on them, bought them and put them in boxes in her room for when she'd go back home and get to read them at her leisure--in the Darigan Citadel, she had to order them, import them, or hope the shipment of books promised by people who ran the marketplace stalls or small shops out of their own homes arrived.  And that they didn't get caught in customs of course.

As it was, she'd been in a library once before coming to Neopia Central, so she luckily knew the proper etiquette for the place.  Don't yell, don't run around, and don't bother anyone who's trying to read or study.  They needed quiet so they could focus.

The one problem with libraries was that she had too many choices all at once.  And today, as she had several times before, Akassuni simply stared at the bookshelves, wandering a bit, keeping quiet as possible, unsure which book she should pull down and read during what remained of lunch period today(or even take with her--borrow, to read later during some free moment in her remaining classes or even at home. . .what foolish people to allow someone to take out a book simply because they promised they'd bring it back!  Not that she intended to steal from them. . . .)

I tried. ;____ ;

Akassuni~ c:

[akassuni]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SHE'S PERFECT AND SO CUTE  ;O;!!  and sdjhfkls FRECKLES

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU THIS IS GREAT!!!

[akassuni]

I did the thing everyone else was doing(with a little help editing the colors from GIMP.  Because there was no appropriate skin tone for her fur.  I probably should've left the purple under her eyes at least. . . .)

Compared to the Citadel, if only today, Neopia Central seems colder.  Thus, scarf.

[akassuni]

I wasn't going to do this because it'd be fairly one-sided as far as friendship goes, but I suppose it might be a good idea to establish who Akassuni knows and doesn't at least?

So if you want some sort of relationship with her(chances are, she won't consider anyone her friend unless we establish something in-play) or you think you might but you aren't very sure how it'd be or how your pet and her would react to each other, we could talk/play something out, I guess!

She'll be slightly less rude to anyone older than her and/or Darigan.

[general-kass]

“I-I-.. Am a Darigan!”

Or gets his fur fluffed by Akassuni.

[akassuni]

"Then quit your blubbering and face your problems like a proper Darigan, then."

Which could mean a lot of things, really.  But presently the most important seemed to be 'stop crying about it.'

[firespires]

Name:  Eden(never introduced as such and possibly not even enrolled as such)

Nickname/Preferred Name:  Akassuni; Kassuni; Kassi

Gender:  Female

Species:  Uni

Colour:  Kass Darigan

Grade (9th-12th):  12th (forgive me almight neohigh deanpeoples for adding another 12th grader but she doesn’t really fit 9th and 10/11 had more people)

Likes:  reading and learning, sports, various crafts and making things, the late Lord Kass, Darigans and the Darigan Citadel, petpet battling

Dislikes:  Meridell and Meridellians, excessively fancy dress, too-clean windows, no-fly zones, excessive noise, messy food, disorganization, being here, and faeries probably aren’t high on her list either

*Best Subject(s):  Physical Education and history(so long as that history deals with wars or hardships)

*Worst Subject(s):  Math(due to lack of fingers)

*Social Group:  Other - transfer student outcast of sorts.

*Club(s):  wouldn’t mind being in book club but none

*Sport(s):  Track and Field

Personality:  Proud and a bit sassy, despite transferring from a military academy, Akassuni’s fairly disrespectful and somewhat cold to those who’ve not proven some sort of worth to her.  Nevertheless, she generally follows the rules laid before her, and will behave with some and respect loyalty to someone in a higher position.  She can do a pretty good job of reinforcing the stereotype of Darigans being mean or evil, but she won’t be hostile unless pushed, even to Neopets from Meridell whom she seems to have a great distaste for.  She’s not unsocial despite generally avoiding her classmates; she simply wants little to do with them.  (However, being that she’s left the Citadel scarcely in her life, she can’t help her curiosity and desire to learn about various things around her, and may wind up poking about and getting in people’s business now and then.)

*Other:  Akassuni was transferred from Darigan Military Academy in the middle of the previous year due to her parents deciding to move to Neopia Central and bring her with them(without asking her first!!) so she could see a new world.  She, of course, is not happy that she’s still here though she heard she may be going back in the middle of this year.  (If everyone here is instantly bipedal/anthro, her hands are a bit more like Kauvara’s or the guy in the back here’s. she’s not someone you want punching you in the face  If not, she’ll occasionally use magic to perform actions, though she’s taken a mandatory non-reliance course on the Citadel, so she’ll try to avoid it.)

Also, she always wears more or less the same thing everyday.  She’s a bit distressed by the lack of uniforms in the school.

finally I’ve made her a separate tumblr for RP because we aren’t the same person and thus can’t use the same account.
