“A.. Knight?" Weren’t knights some sort of armored fighter somewhere in Europe.. or something? She sure looked strong, that’s for sure.. Rin tilted her head, still registering the whole knight thing. They came from like, 2,000 years ago, right? 200 maybe? 20? She needed to listen more during history class. Sleep is so tempting, though..

After a moment of thought, it hit her. “That’s right, you’re a trick-or-treater! Halloween was a week ago, though, so you’re late. That’s such a cool outfit, though! Maybe I should wear something like that next year!!" She laughed, balancing on the heel of her foot for a couple of seconds.

“Well, I’ve never seen a suit of armor in real life before. I see tons on TV though! Hanayo and I sit together and watch the coolest movies with samurais and soldiers and stuff. We should watch something cool together! Do you know where we might be able to find a television?" Geez, Rin sure talks a lot for such a little thing. She couldn’t quite understand that the shining armor Kjelle wore was not a costume, but made out of true steel.

[armataecorde]

Halloween? Trick-or-treater? The more she spoke, the further away Kjelle felt from her new partner. She opened her mouth a few times to reply, but found she could make little sense of what Rin was even saying. Perhaps it was best to just let her go on for a bit.

Having her prized equipment referred to as an "outfit" didn't sit too well with Kjelle, but she shrugged it off as best she could. It was almost unthinkable that Rin hadn't ever seen a suit of armor in person, and almost somewhat concerning. Was she just sheltered? Perhaps her family was a bit eccentric? It was hard to imagine that there were still people in the world who were unfamiliar with the tools of war, but she supposed it was certainly possible...

"Television? Is that some sort of tome?" Though it probably would have been better not to ask, it seemed as if her new acquaintance's curiosity was slowly rubbing off. From what the smaller girl was saying, it seemed as if the tome was able to summon armor...perhaps? "I'm not quite sure I've heard of your 'samurais', either. It seems like you're delusional. Do you have some sort of fever?" As if testing her own forehead wasn't enough, Kjelle removed her gauntlet once more and pressed her hand to the back of Rin's.

Once the other girl removed her gauntlet, Rin’s eyes widened and she immediately reached out to grasp Kyjelle’s wrist for a closer look. She then brought her own wrist to compare the tattoos on both their wrists, completely identical in every way. Yes, this was it. This was whom she was going to be stuck with for who knows how long. She seemed nice enough, though! So it was alright, right?

“Yep, looks like it! You can call me Rin—Rin-chan if you want!" After all, they had to be friends now, right? "I come from a school called Otonokizaka. How about you?!" She laughed, pulling her sleeve back down to hide her tattoo.

She eventually took notice of the other girl’s outfit. She really looked like a warrior! Was she some sort of model? Kidnapped during a photoshoot? Nah, probably not. She didn’t have many other theories, though.. Well, there was one way to find out.

After a moment of staring toward the woman’s armor, she commented, “What’s that clothing made of? Are you a model? It’s so cool!" She reached out, touching the breastplate in awe. It must be really heavy! This person must be really strong.

[armataecorde]

A slight furrow of the brow at the sudden grab, but Kjelle did little to resist. The girl was oddly cheerful, and reminded her of Cynthia, in a way. To be quite honest, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Just by being connected with her, the knight felt a constant buzz of excitement. Kjelle was normally the type to be appalled by such childish behavior, but she now found it hard to feel irate, even with the girl touching her as she did.

Rin or Rinchan, was it? She'd stick with the former, if only for its shortness.  "My name is Kjelle, and I come from the country of Ylisse." She had never really been to a "school", and found that the name of her homeland was the best she could offer. Being orphaned and caught up in the end of the world tended to deny one a proper education, but she didn't think she had missed out on anything in particular. Well, aside from the peculiar outfit the girl before her wore...

She honestly didn't quite know what to think about being mistaken for a model. Was that a good thing? It could mean that her tiny partner saw her as being in top form for a woman her age, but at the same time she felt as if that wasn't quite the case. "No, not a model. A knight." she corrected gently, finding it somewhat hard to be as harsh as she normally was. "It's not clothing, it's armor. This suit is made out of pure steel." She knocked on it a few times, as if to prove her point. She recoiled a bit, honestly puzzled by the girl's fascination and touch. "Gods, you act like you've never seen a suit of armor before." A quick murmur under her breath, almost more to herself than to her new, quirky partner.

姫】— Kougyoku had participated in enough duels with her attendant and elder brother to recognize basic strategy. If the opponent could clearly outclass you, it was wise to make an attempt to bring them down to your level. In most cases, it was easy to accomplish this by rendering them unable to wield their weapon. Ultimately, though, she had no interest in killing this woman. It was a show of power, nothing more.

She didn’t react when her roommate charged, doing what she could to lighten her load. It was, however, a fatal mistake to charge in not knowing what tricks your opponent had up their sleeve. The princess backstepped away from the attack, though the lance managed to graze her arm, leaving a gash that bled for a moment. 

However, water rushed up from the ground and spun around the ruby-haired woman like a vortex, it’s speed and rotation constantly changing to fudge up the aim of any further attacks.

When the water cleared, however, the princess’ appearance had changed. Ruby hair turned blue, scales running up and down her arms and legs, clothes practically non-existent. She just stood there, hovering. “Are you done yet? If swinging that stick around is all you can do, I hope you realize you’re outclassed.”

[armataecorde]

The transformation most definitely startled Kjelle. It was a type of magic she had never even laid eyes on, and was obviously not much of a match for. And so, the knight moved back a few steps, leveling her lance at her opponent, but nothing more. She gave the girl's new form a quick once-over, a ghost of a flush covering her cheeks at its...boldness.

The fact that she seemed to lack protection, however, likely didn't do much to diminish the severity of the situation. The hovering form the girl now took may have been more captivating than the last, but Kjelle highly doubted that was all it served for. There was little left to do to decide the fight, it seemed.

"It appears I am indeed outclassed. Your sword carries a magic that I've never even seen glimpses of before. It's extremely impressive." A display of strength was all Kjelle needed to truly respect a person, and her new roommate had more than fulfilled the task. She'd most definitely have to train if she ever wanted to stand up to her on equal footing. But, in the meantime...

"Though I wouldn't say I'm completely finished quite yet. Perhaps you'd like to continue this fight as a more casual spar?"

[hairpining-deactivated20141229]

姫】— While Kougyoku was trained with a sword, one look at her Djinn Equip would show that her blade likely didn’t exist for the sake of close combat. While it could be used that way, it’s real role was to act as a guide in the use of her real abilities.

“…Gladly!”

As if from nowhere, water begun to swirl around the immediate area, towards the tip of the blade which she had pointed in Kjelle’s direction. When enough had gathered, she fired it off like a spear of water, capable of piercing whatever it came into contact with. She couldn’t muster her full strength without first using her Djinn Equip, but if she could help it, she didn’t want to reveal that just yet.

[armataecorde]

The magic was no surprise to Kjelle. The fact that she used it without any sort of tome, however, was. So much so, in fact, that she barely had time to move to the side before the stream of water shredded one of her raised pauldrons and the surface of her upper arm. Her heart rate had sped up significantly at the close call, and she quickly determined her extra armor would do little to help her here. Speed was key, and she knew right off the bat she was going to need any advantage she could have in order to win this battle.

As she moved, she quickly cut the straps on her pauldrons, letting them fall to the floor, abandoned. It wasn't as if they were going to block much, anyways. She closed the distance as best she could, gripping her lance and thrusting it towards the girl's sword arm as soon as she came within range.

[seoltoir]

I was here first. You are the new addition. I will stay where I like, unless it involves girls changing because then I will be gone faster than the fucking Flash goodbye new roommate. 

[armataecorde]

...does that mean if I walk around with my shirt off 24/7 you will leave?

[hairpining-deactivated20141229]

姫】— “What would appease you, then? A demonstration?" The princess reached for the hairpin atop her head and pulled it loose of the ornament that mounted her hair in place. Nearly immediately it began to glow, and reshaped itself into that of the decorative sword that her Djinn Weapon Equip allowed as well. "That said, I certainly won’t go easy on you. Not after the things you said about my partner.”

[armataecorde]

A slight raise of the brow at the meager hairpin's transformation. Now they were getting somewhere. Unfortunately, Kjelle didn't quite believe the girl had nearly enough power to back up her fancy little sword. "Depends on how your demonstration matches up to mine, I suppose." Though not as dainty nor as pretty, she removed the lance from her back, spinning it once before driving the pole's end into the ground with a dull thud. "I wouldn't expect anything less from someone with such fancy titles.

"Come at me, General."

[seoltoir]

Seriously, I’m in a room full of girls. Not a guy in sight. Do you want me to be creepy, or would you prefer me to remain as I am. Because I was even going to be polite and treat you nicely. 

[armataecorde]

I'd rather you not turn creepy, so I don't have to worry about dealing with you later. So if that's the case, yes. Remain as you are. Just stay in that corner over there and all will be well.

[hairpining-deactivated20141229]

姫】— “Oh? Is that so? Even though you’re speaking to a Dungeon Capturer and General?" The only thing the princess had pride in was her strength, so naturally she found offense in the other’s words.

[armataecorde]

She recognized the title of General. "Dungeon Capturer", though? What in the name of the gods was that supposed to be? "Titles are just words, you know. A lot of times the people hiding behind them are quite dull in comparison."

[seoltoir]

Squints. I didn’t complain once I just pointed out new roommates. 

[armataecorde]

Your face gives it all away, as does your lack of substantial muscle. You're scared by said roommates. Admit it.

[hairpining-deactivated20141229]

姫】— ”L-Let’s not fight, you two…”

[armataecorde]

"I highly doubt fighting any of you would pose me any sort of challenge, so there's really no need to worry about that."

[armataecorde]

More roommates……

[armataecorde]

She's not exactly thrilled at the prospect of rooming with a weak little man either, but you don't see her complaining.

unwanted tattoo ;;kyjelle

She had been sure this was all a dream at first. After all, dreams are meant to make no sense! The strange tattoo printed on her wrist, the voice from the speaker explaining what she was doing here, and the strange feeling she couldn’t shake off.. The need to find someone. She could recall the voice telling her that her tattoo connected her with one other person—both emotionally and physically.

                           ……How mean!!

Stomping her feet and crossing her arms in annoyance, Rin pouted. Of course, it only lasted for a couple of moments before strange emotions she couldn’t pinpoint hit her suddenly. Her irritated, pouting expression shifted into one of confusion, unsure what to make of these feelings.

          Okay. This was really, really, really mean.

She needed to find out whoever this person she felt so connected to was.

The young girl headed for the door and twisted the doorknob to the hallway. Using the urge to find her partner as her guide, she followed the invisible rope directly towards her destination. Her tattoo imprinted on her wrist was hidden underneath her sleeve; she wasn’t ready to show it off just yet.

And eventually, she found her.

Well, she at least thinks she did. She couldn’t see any sort of tattoo; the armor she was wearing covered nearly all of her skin. However, that rope she followed led exactly to her—therefore, this must be the person that voice on the speakers told her about.

She broke into a run towards the other girl, stopping once face to face with her. Rin pulled up her sleeve, revealing the tattoo that had been given to her. She put on an excited smile, now feeling accomplished for finding this (not for long) stranger.

“Do you have something like this on your wrist too?!" As usual, she added her signature "nya!” at the end of her sentence.

[armataecorde]

She had seen the world nearing its end, fallen off a horse in nearly every way possible, and even fought Risen soldiers in a hot spring. This, however, was a predicament even Kjelle could never have expected.

After the voice in the speaker had made its little speech and the foreign tattoo had seemed to nearly sear her wrist off, she had immediately made her way out of the room to assess the situation. The presence of her armor was a welcome feeling, to say the least. If they had taken it, she wasn't quite sure what sort of mental state she would've been in, after all.

As soon as she closed the door and paused in the middle of the hallway, however, the girl rushing towards her caused unease to set in once more. She tensed slightly at the sudden approach, clenching her fists and preparing to fight even the most feeble of aggressors. An unknown force, however, discouraged her almost immediately.

Kjelle felt her lips turn up in a smile at the girl before her. Excitement filled her as soon as she displayed her tattoo, and a feeling of pride seemed to swell in her chest.

It was only when the knight noticed that her expression was an exact mirror of the girl's that she froze, eyebrows knitting together in a mix of irritation and confusion. That...was quite unlike her. It seemed like the voice's cryptic words were by no means a hoax, and to say that startled her would've been an understatement.

"Unfortunately, it seems that I do." she replied slowly, unbuckling her gauntlet to show off an identical strange tattoo. Though it could have been mere coincidence, the strange pull she felt towards the girl seemed to speak otherwise. Well...things could've been worse, she supposed. Kjelle sent up a silent prayer to gods that they wouldn't come across any sort of combat, considering how she doubted the smaller of the pair was strong enough to fight anything. "Are you my, ah, partner? Who are you? Where did you come from?" 

Also...nyan...?
