It had been a long day already for Lilith, despite it still being in the morning. Lunch had been over for a few minutes, which she realized when it was too late. Class had already started, but she could just use the excuse that she was lost. After all, this was her new class... being without a partner was the cause of her switching in hopes she'd find someone compatible. Holding onto her two books, Lilith lifted her body so she wasn't slouching and cautiously walked into the quiet room.

There wasn't many people, but those were there seemed to keep to themselves. She didn't hear a scolding voice from a teacher which made her body less tense as she walked her way up the stairs and to a seat. Sitting down, her eyes trailed the room but drifted back down towards the front of the room as a teacher walked in. She didn't recognize, so from what Lilith assumed it was just a teacher to get them through finding partners. "I'm going to make this easier on all of us, since I'm sure most of you know each other already, go ahead and introduce yourselves, find a meister or a weapon and we'll see who's compatible with who, the teachers words was all that was needed for the majority of the class to stand and begin talking with each other, but Lilith's eyes moved around the room once more but stopped when she realized she was the uneven number.

Sighing softly, her body leaned back in the seat and waited to see who would approach her. Maybe the class was just uneven or maybe they were missing someone.

'I guess I'll just wait and see,' she frowned but didn't question it.

note: poo beginning for me, but starter posts always suck for me. It's a tad long, if you can't match don't worry about it. I ranted anyway -.o

Thorne grumbled as he stumbled around the school clumsily. He had once again stayed up all night playing his guitar. He had passed out sometime late in the night, his guitar in his hands. That and he had set his alarm for PM instead of AM. Oh lovely, I am going to be late for my first class with my new teacher AGAIN he thought to himself. Every class he had ever been in, every partner he had as a weapon, he ended up having to be removed. The last one, he had to be physically stopped from nearly strangling his so called "weapon" after the guy insulted his music.
He flung the door to the classroom open, almost falling forward as he did so. "And you must be Thorne" the teacher said to him. "Uh.... yeah sorry I'm late, you see, I was up most of the night making this great new song on my guitar. " he said smiling awkwardly. "I can play it if you want to hear it...
"No what I want you to do is to pick out your weapon."
oh great.... Now for the worst part. Jeez, let me see... He thought to himself as he looked around. [bold] "I think they're all taken sir... except that girl there" [/bold] He said, almost too loudly, pointing at her. please be the one... He thought desperately.

(note: I am sorry for the super short post! Once I get used to forum RP and also all the coding and stuff, I swear my posts will be a lot better! Also, I hope this is good enough!)

Letting her eyes shift from page to page as she read, her ears picked up the teacher's unamused tone as someone walked in late. A few minutes later than herself, but she was thankful that she didn't get in trouble. Sure she loved the 'i was lost' excuse but that only worked once. Stopping from turning the next page, her violet eyes moved up to rest on who the teacher called Thorne. One brow raised while he practically yelled out to her. "And I thought I was the odd man out," she smiled and spoke back while closing her book. Every partner she had found before, either couldn't wield her or they were scared that they would end up slicing someone in a duel.

Most of the time her form was taller than the wielder, but this time her partner would hopefully be male. She tended to always get stuck with the girls who wanted something easier to wield. Standing from her seat, Lilith walked down from the desks and made her way up to Thorne before glancing up at him with a soft smile. She was closer, which brought out the shy side that hid away inside of her. "I'm Lilith, or Lily for short,"

[/color] her voice quieted down while she held out her hand. This was her way of testing for a meister, if she could feel his soul though their touch, she would change into her weapon form. It was a test to see if they could hold her up without a problem. "You must be.. Thorne?"[/color] she asked. "Let's hope we're compatible,"[/color] her sentence was short while she waited for his hand. She didn't try and talk too much, so she wouldn't scare away a potential partner.

note: :3 It's no problem at all, I love roleplaying with new forum goers. If you need any help with coding, just let me know... If I'm not making graphics, I'm coding with BB or html.

Thorne chuckled a bit nervously, looking around a little awkwardly. He had always been assigned to other guys. Actually, he was afraid to be assigned with a girl. He had always hung out with boys when he was younger, and they always teased the girls. He never really thought of them as possibly being equal until he got to Shibusen. Then again everything had changed when he got there.

"Uh yeah... I guess most people think my name is a bit weird." He said, shaking her hand. Oh man, her hand is so soft.... he just couldn't help but think that. He took the guitar off his back and leaned it against a desk. "Lily huh... I like it. I think it's a really pretty name..." He almost winced a bit as he blurted that out Oh no what the heck am I saying stuff like THAT for! He started to blush, chuckling a little more awkwardly. "I also hope we are compatible, Lily. I'd really like that."

Oh god I am such a dork, she's going to hate me like everyone else! he thought as he sat down and fumbled with his books.

It was her first time that she was actually glad that she could be assigned to someone who wouldn't be scared of a sword. Her eyes trailed him for a second, sensing the nerves coming from the male that slightly towered her own height. Standing at five feet and just about five inches, she was normally shorter than most around her, but she didn't let anyone talk her down. As their hands touched in a quick handshake, her smile lifted a little more as she felt his soul clearly through his fingertips. He wasn't a weapon, but in fact a meister who she hoped could wield the masamune. "I like you're name, it's unique," as their hands fell before she had a chance to change, she watched him pull a guitar off his back and set it against the desks.

"Thank you, by the way..," she spoke about the compliment from her name before crossing her arms and sitting down next to him. It was probably time to get to know him a little before making him figure out if they were going to be partners. "I'm hoping we'll be able to become partners, I've been here for a while and either I get paired with someone who's scared to wield a sword or can't lift me,"

[/color] leaning back against the seat she was in, her eyes moved towards the guitar resting against the desk. Not many in the school carried things like this, but something about it made her smile. He was different than most at Shibusen, but that wasn't an issue for her.

Moving her glance over towards Thorne, she smiled again before standing and brushing off her jacket slightly. She could hear the other partners in the room while some students struggled to match themselves with their weapons. They say in the books that opposite personalities were the most matched for weapon and meister, but in some cases those who were similar had amazing luck. "So.. since everyone else is figuring it out, shall we see if we're compatible?"[/color] Lilith's arms stretched out above her before falling to her side, though her right hand reached out instead as if offering him a hand to stand. Her left fingers twitched slightly before she began to explain, "If you can in fact wield my weapon form... make sure you've got some open space,"[/color] she smiled slightly, "I'm sure my weapon form is just about the same height, or a little taller than you,"[/color].

note: my posts are getting a little longer, but don't worry about matching it :P
It'll pick up in a bit I'm sure.

Thorne chuckled a little bit. It wasn't that he didn't want to wield a weapon. That was not really the case. He was not used to someone actually wanting to work with him. Most of his other partners tended to want to avoid him for some reason. He could never figure out why.

"I guess we have to at least try it once right?" He smiled a bit. "Better to find out now than to wait until later..." He really had no idea. After her warning, it worried him a bit. What could it be that she changes into? Some kind of giant cannon? He briefly wondered if he should ask her first, but decided that perhaps it was better if he waited.

He looked around, making sure that no one was too close. "Are you ready?" For some reason, he felt different this time. There was SOMETHING about her. He was very curious. Usually, he was not so open with people, and it took him about 2 days to even attempt to wield his last partner. He smiled at her, and took her hand. "Let's do this...

Please accept me for who I am....

(note : I really hope this is not too rushed, I think this might be my last post of this session, so take your time. The red text is going to be what I use from now on for his speaking and thinking. Kinda did that on purpose.)

Thorne was someone who she felt would be her partner, despite the fact he was shy and she herself was as well. It was rare that she went out on this kind of a limb, even with the amount of talking she's done already... it was rare for her if she wasn't even acquainted with the person. "Don't worry," she smiled softly, "as long as you think this is possible... we can manage,"

[/color] her voice was calm while the world around her went quiet. Lilith only changed a total of seven times since she's been here, and each time was a failed attempt. Either the wielder couldn't lift her or was too scared to even try after learning of her demon weapon form.

A heavy heartbeat started pushing into her ears as her adrenaline began to rush while he spoke. Her eyes shifting from side to side just the slightest to judge his reaction. While her hand stayed out to Thorne, the other wrapped around her necklace tightly while she got ready for her transition into the elongated katana. Violet eyes trailed down from Thornes face along his arm until it reached his hand, where they once again grasped each others hands. Gripping his hand, Lilith's adjacent hand tightened around her necklace while a smile lifted across her cheeks. "No fail..'[/color] she thought while her body flashed into a purple streak before forming a sword in Thorne's palm. The transformation didn't take long, but when it was complete the necklace she once held was hanging from the hilt while the sword easily covered three desks across from them.

Though it didn't take more than a second of being transformed that the tip of the blade slammed to the ground. Wincing, she spoke out while her pendant glowed a soft violet. "Please tell me I didn't scare you,"[/color] she frowned slightly in hopes that it wasn't true, but if he could still hold the hilt up there was some hope. Lilith's eyes closed slowly before trying to place her soul and his together, but each moment she tried it was like something was pulling them apart. "there's still some hope,"[/color] she stated but it stayed in the form of a whisper, "our souls were able to form together for a couple seconds"[/color].

note: okie so! the italic and bold speech is when Lilith is in her weapon form, the bold is normal, and the italic is her thoughts. just let me know if I write too much ^^; I sometimes get a little out of hand writing. .

[Thorne]

Thorne could feel his own heart racing as Lilly changed her form. He had never had a weapon be able to change for him on the first day. And the three times that any had changed, he did not feel comfortable with the weapon. But as she changed, he felt something was a little different. For a brief moment, he was able to hold the sword straight out in front of him. "Wow!" He said out loud.

But then the moment left, the tip of the sword clanking down on the ground. He could still hold up the hilt, but he struggled to lift the sword any higher. "You... you didn't scare me..." He told her. "I'll just.... lift you up.... NGGGGHHH" He strained as hard as he could, but he just simply could not lift her any higher.

He could feel his frustration start to build. In his mind, he just knew that everyone in the room was watching him fail. As he struggled more and more, he could feel her start to become heavier. Damn it... so useless! He thought of himself.

He finally just gave up and, rather angrily, he threw the hilt of the sword down on the floor. "Why do you have to be so HEAVY!?" He yelled, his anger now surfacing. It was at that particular moment when everyone in the room really noticed him, the sound of the weapon hitting the floor echoing loudly. His ears burning with anger, mostly at himself, he just grabbed his guitar and ran out the door.

(note: I know that was a rather fast exit, but I think he's the type that escapes from his problems. I really hope this is good enough. Sorry about his temper tantrum)

For the moment Lilith was in the air, it almost felt like the weight of the world drifted away but as the tip of the sword clanged to the floor, she didn't know what was going on. It was almost as if their souls completely rejected... but if that was the case, he wouldn't have been able to hold her at all. "What's the matter?" she asked quietly but in the time frame between when she changed and when the tip of the sword touched the ground, she knew this wasn't about to go well. Maybe something was more wrong than she thought... their souls connected at first but after it was like they couldn't make this possible.

"I'm sure you can do it,"

[/i][/color] she stated, but watched him struggle. At this point she felt helpless, as they already had that slight connection she was feeling pieces of his frustration pushing over everything else. Before she knew it, she was on the ground and back in her human form. She made a habit that when she would be dropped, she would change back and brush it off. This time was different, as her wide eyes followed Thorne's movements out the door and to the hall. 'I'm not letting you escape that easy.. not after that,'[/color] her eyes narrowed just slightly while she picked her body up and bolted out the classroom door. All the teacher managed to do was let out a slight smirk, but held no response when she ran.

"Thorne! wait!"[/color] her breathing hitched slightly while she followed him down the halls of the school but in all honesty, she hoped he would stop and turn around. "Please just hear me out!"[/color] she yelled in a feeble attempt to get him to at least slow down. She wasn't about to give up on the first person to successfully wield her weapon form, even if it was for a few seconds. A few seconds that meant the world to her. Lilith's heart began beating faster as the pace she was running at started tiring her legs, the muscles pulling at each step. Running like this was something she hadn't done in ages as she was mostly sitting in a classroom trying to find that right person. 'come on.. please stop...'[/color] she willed in her mind, but all she could do is hope that he'd stop and talk.

note: no problem (: I can work with anything you throw at me. She'll keep chasing him though, to make sure he doesn't get away. No need to be sorry.. i liked it ^.^ .

[/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Thorne]

"Thorne wait!" He heard that as he stormed through the halls. What is she doing... he thought, confused. No one had ever followed him when he stormed off like that. He was embarassed enough from what happened in class, and he did not want to be embarassed anymore. He spun around on his heels, enraged.

"Hear YOU out?" He practically yelled. "Why so you can laugh at me like everyone else? Well it's not going to happen! One day I will be the best musician ever, AND I will have a weapon too! Then you won't be laughing... no one will laugh at me...." He then just stood there. Something deep down told him to stay and hear her out. He wanted to run away, just like always.... but this time was different.

note: Sorry it's such a short post, but I am kind of out of sorts right now, having just woke up

Sad eyes watched him run, but when he stopped a sigh of relief came out of her throat while she watched his moves. Lilith's run slowed down to a slight jog before stopping a few feet away from Thorne. It was when he spun around that she stood her ground and refused to take a step back. Crossing her arms, she listened to his words but didn't speak up so she wouldn't interrupt him. He was running away from something that could mean having a weapon and not having a weapon but there was one way to get to him if she could just manage to tell him how their souls reacted. "Why so you can laugh at me like everyone else?" his words made her frown before her arms fell towards her sides, fingers twitching slightly.

"Does it look like I'm laughing at you?"

[/color] her voice was quieter than in the classroom while she stared up at the male, her stance strong while she looked over his face. "Why would I laugh at you? I've got no reason. You didn't joke and you running out obviously wasn't funny,"[/color] she frowned slightly but held her tongue in hopes of not making him more angry. 'Keep cool Lilith...'[/color] her inner muse went through her skull but she tried suppressing the thoughts, they would just piss her off. She couldn't afford to lose Thorne, not now. Letting her shoulders relax, a sigh pushed past her lips while she ran a hand through her hair.

"Look, Thorne.. I wanted to tell you before you stormed off,"[/color] moving towards the lockers she leaned up against them before sinking down into a sitting position. She needed to tell him about their souls, but also about her past with other meisters. "I've never had someones soul be so close to mine, for how long I've been here,"[/color] a small smile lifted to her cheeks while she stretched her legs out, "If you're willing to still be my partner, we'll just need to work on it. You were the first person to be able to successfully wield my weapon form and for that,"[/color] she glanced up towards Thorne, even though she didn't so much like being sentimental, there wasn't a way to say it better. "I'm very grateful."[/color]

note: It's really no problem, I've been sleeping my life away lately <.<

[Thorne]

Thorne was utterly confused. He had never had anyone actually chase him down and actually treat him with respect. He looked at her in shock, not really knowing what to think of her. <color=E42217> Why would anyone want to pair with me... I barely even want to be a meister? </color> He thought to himself. He just shook his head.

<color=E42217> "I'm not really cut out to be a good meister Lilly. I don't want to drag you down. " </color> He sighed. <color=E42217> "What if I don't perform to your expectations? All I really want to do is make music."

He really didn't want to be left alone anymore. Deep down, he DID want to be a meister, but it scared him. He obviously could not tell her that. She would not understand. No one would.

(note : Sorry for the super short post and the long delay! I've been semi-busy and distracted from everything. I will try to keep up.)

To her relief, Thorne stopped to at least hear her out though part of her believed something forced him to stop. With a frown, her eyes trailed his features before resting on his own eyes but this time her violet eyes lidded and the frown dropped slightly. "With those type of words, you'll just drag yourself down," her voice was soft, never holding a hint of anger or sadness but in turn it stayed slightly monotone. With a soft sigh, she continued, "Listen to me Thorne, you're the first person who one, isn't scared of me. two, was able to successfully hold my weapon form up, and three... you had a slight soul connection to me. Whether you could feel it or not, it was still there," a tiny smile drifted back to her lips but it faltered soon after.

"If all you want to do is make music, you're holding back another talent and that's something that could help everyone," noting the fact is a meister, but the doubt he held almost wishes she could slap it out of him. Maybe it was something Lilith had to work around, such as he wants to make music but at the same time there's something that's hiding that wants to push out and fight for the souls being stolen away from their rightful owners. "My expectations?," Lilith chuckled slightly at the thought but shook her head and walked a bit closer to him while her head tilted back slightly to look at him. "If all you want to do is make music, why not make this a start? You could get famous this way. We could figure out something beyond what all others have done and make it big." she smiled while crossing her arms, taking a slight step back from her hopeful partner. "I'm willing to give it a try, that is, if you are as well," the smile lifted a little more, but as her arms fell, one hand moved towards her back and her fingers crossed.

All Lilith could hope for now was that he would give it a try, but this was going to just get harder to convince him if he said no.

note: i've been very sickly, but now i'm able to sit down and write without my mind going blank/passing out xD

[Thorne]

Thorne closed his eyes and sighed. He had also felt something. Something beneath all his anger and self hatred. It was as if, in the split second, he knew that everything would be all right.

"I want to try to be your partner too Lilly." He smiled at her a little. "As long as you don't mind my music, we should get along fine! Why, maybe we can be like some kind of....villain fighting rock band!" He couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous that sounded.

"What do you say partner?" and he put his hand out to shake hers. "Shall we do it?"

(note : no worries! I am taking in the idea of this character and beinga little slow when itcomes to how he should act. He's very different than most characters I have played.0

Lilith carefully watched Thorne, hoping his mind would lead him to pick her rather than walking out on the situation. Something could happen between them and as long as Lilith got to her rank she's been waiting for.. she'd be the happiest person in the world. If she could serve Shinigami as a death scythe, her goal would be complete and she'd be able to search the world. When his words started, the smile lifted on her cheeks, though as he said that he would try it lifted a little further. "Good to hear," she chuckled softly when he mentioned his music, but something made her wilt. She didn't know how to play anything and her singing was... half par with most people but she shook the thought out of her head and let out a laugh as well. "I wont mind your music as long as you don't mind my horrible try's at singing,"

[/color] placing a hand on the back of her head, scratching her skull slightly with a tiny laugh.

Letting her hand fall, Lilith looked up towards Thorne but her eyes drifted from his hair to his clothes but it soon rose back up to his face while she held a smile. Grabbing hold of his hand to return the gesture, she lightly shook his hand and nodded. "We'll manage to get through these differences,"[/color] she bit the inside of her lip slightly, "and we'll become what we most want in this world, partner,"[/color] letting her hand fall she glanced back to the classroom but just shook her head slightly. The class was there to find partners, but since this was settled it was time to move on. "Well, since we have a little work on our hands... why don't we go out to town? I'm sure we'll be getting our classes tomorrow,"[/color] even though they were going to be skipping out on watching everyone else getting acquainted, she was glad to finally know that she would be placed in classes. One step closer to death scythe status, and that's what she was happy about.

note: Lilith's quiet side will rear it's head a bit more once they start missions and classes, but I'm liking the pace it's going at now.
