A fresh arrival, her things all put away, the tall Danny was left to her own devices, sort of. The grand adventure didn't feel so adventurous anymore after being found in the woods and dragged here. With Sir Kodiak the bear knight riding in her jean pocket, she explored the outside of the main campus. She honestly felt a little sick at the moment as anxiety took hold of her stomach. A strange place with strange faces.

Her finger idly pet the top of the tiny plush in her pocket, a plea to herself to calm her nerves. Hazel gaze had the building in sight. Knowing the outer structure and layer would likely be helpful later. Familiarity if she can gain such would help ease the nervous fear in her mind. Always she had been good, itnwas the first time guns were pointed at her and now she was here.

She regretted not insisting she get to take Petunia on this walk with her. She could, it'd ease her more but she was concerned about drawing too much attention. The little Sir Knight of the pocket stayed silent, its eyes seeming to follow their path, a single wire raised from his back to her palm, mostly hidden. He would keep her safe, he was a brave bear! At least that's the personality given to him by Daniella, her fake bravado given life.

From the distance, something huge could be seen soaring through the air just above the tree line a fair ways away. It flapped its wings once, and it was fully black, but a bit too black, giving it a very cryptid-esque look. After a few seconds it was evident that this thing was no bird, as the first thing that was notable about it was the sheer size of it. The only notable feature that stood out from its inky dark body were the two gigantic eyes staring forwards into the distance.

The thing began to glide downwards and was getting closer. With each passing second, it looked larger and larger, until it was about fifty meters away, the trip from earliest possible sighting to now being about fifteen seconds.

It would stick its legs out and begin to flap its massive wings to counteract its momentum, to then slow down and land, which it did quickly after. Many children and teenagers were reasonably frightened by this, and began to either get farther away to give the thing some space, or evacuate to the interior of the nearest building entirely.

Once it had landed, it would skip a couple of times before finally stopping, looking around to make sure that it didn't cause any actual damage past creating giant divots in the grass. It would confirm this, then look around again, and spot another new face. Earlier it was Connor, now it was... Whoever this girl was. It only stared in silence for a few seconds before turning towards her, the wings being too large to hug snugly against the giant gangly body of... Whoever this was, instead just dangling limply like one's arms normally would.

The presence od this thing seemed to give the air a very slight chill, a much stronger chill than the one already present or was this a mere psychological effect caused entirely by the viewer's mind?
Paul
Were people running? Danny watched as some people seemed to be trying to escape somewhere. Nervous onlookers darting to safety. Was it her, was Danny the scary one? That was the first thought driven in part thanks to her anxiety and new situation she was in.

Although a little reasoning after some more people made it inside had her stunned look turn to one of puzzle. It can't be her. They were looking upward. She didn't immediately follow lead, instead she turned and looked up. Enough time to see the giant creature land.

With the creature staring back at her, Danny froze still. Fight or flight was broken and she had opted for the third option of deer in headlights. Danny's mouth opened a little but nothing more by hushed air came out as a scream couldn't form. Danny had lived a normal life beyond the few incidents she was involved in. This, no this was something very different.

The lanky woman that was Daniella suddenly became a lot shorter as her shaking knees gave way and she fell to a seated position. Those hazel eyes never left the creature. Instead the smallest creature of them all would intervene. The little bear in Danny's pocket grunted and twisted until he was free of his confinement and jumped to the lap of Danny. He would move his stubby arms to his plush sword made of cotton, velcro ripping apart as he drew the small and false blade.

"Ye are a fiend, great foe beyond thou in darkness! Ye shall not have this maiden! For I, Sir Kodiak wield the mighty Excalibur!"
A very deep manly voice spoke with the accent of Arthurian legends from television shows. The small plush showed no fear unlike his puppeteer.

His long winded speech ended with him twirling the tiny toothpick length plush blade like a fencer at Yari. He would even grunt out little hoo and hah's as he danced in a fighting stance. Danny meanwhile had begun to move again, her hands gripping at the grass below her, her hips twisted, finally her body was ready to run.
Oscar
The creature remained silent, and its head pulled back slightly when the tiny plush bear began to talk, promting it to squint its eyes and crouch down, a breeze coming from it for a brief moment. After a few seconds of watching the bear, a consistent low whistle came from the creature. Was it... Laughing? It was laughing, hah!

The thing would understand the situation it was causing and then its head made a bobbing motion to the side, essentially confirming to itself that yes, *It* Had been causing this reaction in both the girl and the bear. 

It began to shrink and sort of, collapse into itself with loud cracking and gross, organic, slimy sounds, until it had all retracted into the form of a small girl, crouched into the same position, but now being about half as tall as Daniella even when both were crouched. She would stare for another second before beginning to slowly roll over towards Daniel, like a dodge-roll from a certain videogame series. She co tinued this until she was within acceptable social distance from Daniella, at which point she fixed her position and remained in that same crouched position, with her hands now on her knees.

She finally broke the burning, deafening silence, with a simple "Hi." She stuck out her own hand for Daniella to shake, her face remaining completely blank, but even when in the regular form, this girl looked wrong in almost every way, she just had this uncanny, unnerving air to her, probably aided by her unbreaking, unblinking eye contact, both with Daniella and the plush bear.
Paul
The sudden transformation froze Danny in place for a second time as the sickening noises scared Danny back into place. A girl was all that was left, albeit an unnerving one. Was she somersaulting at Daniella? The mind raced, unable to keep up with this happening. There was far too much here to go on.

At least Danny viewed it as somersaulting, despite the motions. When the girl stopped, it left Danny looking down now. Hazel eyes wide and staring. Pupils practically pinpoint at this moment due to the fear. Silence reigned supreme as neither Danny nor the life given plush could think of an immediate response to all this.

As the strange girl spoke a word, the Bear turned to Danny looking up at her. He stuck the velcro blade back at his side and exclaimed in proud victory,
"I have vanquished our foe and turned them back into a beautiful princess! For I am Sir Kodiak, the bearer of...",
He was cut off as Danny snagged his plush head. Muffled yells from her hand as she covered where his mouth was.

"Uh, yes, hi?"
Confused, still panicked, unsure of everything. How would one be able to truly react? For the moment, Danny quieted the Knight easily to avoid getting in a worse situation with his big mouth.
"I am uh, Daniella. My family calls me Danny."

The squirming plush would break out of the fingers that bound him.
"Nonsense, this her Highness, Queen Daniella of th..",
Both hands now stuffed the squirming bear down.
"Please don't hurt him, or me, he's just loud."
Despite this new form, the new size difference, Daniella still felt all was off. Especially when this girl didn't blink. Danny was trying to be polite in mix with fear. She never lost gaze with Yari though, caution at its highest for Danny.
Oscar
She stared at the two until she cpuldnt bear it any longer. Not that she was uncomfortable with the silence, it was just a bit annoying to have to force a response, but then the girl spoke, and her irritations were alleviated quickly. She watched Daniella fail to silence the bear and block ot from speaking in general, and found the situation humorous.

"Danny. Okay, I'm Yari. Yarimiel." She retracted her hand, seeing as it wasn't shaken. She looked Daniella up and down quickly, just to get a better look at her general outfit and look. After this, she adressed her fear-induced concerns. "Oh, no, you seem nice. I won't bite, not you or the bear at least- ha*Haa*." Her voice was surprisingly gentle, yet had deep undertones to it and it definitely seemed like the type of voice to intimidate had it not belonged to this tiny lass. "The bear is funny, can I hold it?" She holds her hand out again, if denied, she'd make the arm go limp.

She *Was* Mildly flattered by the bear calling her a 'beautiful princess', it made the infant within her giggle, but she also thought that, compared to the giant bird thing, she was a massive improvement, which added a hole to the glee, but did not dampen it.
Paul
Danny wore simple casual wear. Jeans that had adorned her legs and a baby blue windbreaker jacket over a white t-shirt. She wasn't really fond of the cold here. Her shoes were simple beige yellow sneakers. Daniella didn't look like she came from wealth, nor poor. She was taken care of. Her skin was proper, her clothes bearing little wear and tear.

Once Yari retracted her hand from the situation, Danny actually felt a little relief. The caution in her brain made her feel like prey even before such a small girl. Although Yari did start to speak and even introduced herself. Danny's breathing had begun to calm from more quick panicked breaths as the situation seemed to ease. Although Yari specifically mentioning biting was strange. Why biting?

Danny wasn't going to ask at this juncture however. Danny looked at the hand that came before her. Shakily, her hands brought forth the bear. As if she expected Yari to snatch the small plush. The bear however seemed most pleased to be released from his hand prison.

Danny slipped him into Yari's extended palm, in which the wire travelling ending at the outside of her right forearm became very evident. The wire itself leads to the bear's back into his fake suit of plush knight armor. The bear's tone was unlike Danny's, he was confident as he spoke,
"As previously stated, I am Sir Kodiak, princess Yarimel I take it?"

He would put his left stubby arm to his stomach and right stubby arm stretched out to make a display of himself bowing his head. Feeling his texture and weight, one could immediately tell he was a simple plush toy.

Despite the bear showing no fear, Danny did. Unease on her face, concern for a simple toy. He would stand straight if allowed in Yari's palm before declaring once more,
"I am the Chief Knight General, I am pleased to make your acquaintance m'lady, alas you may be smitten with me but I must remain dutiful to my queen".
Danny was obviously embarrassed, at this point wanting to strangle the bear herself. His antics were a bit cartoonish. Danny would finally try and get a word in,
"I, uh, made him when I was little, he's a little silly. Don't mind him. He's just speaking how he thinks he should."
A simple explanation of the bear's outlandish personality.
Oscar
"I like him, he's funny." She would gently cup her hands over him and begin to careds him much like one would any pet or thing they find cute. Even if he didn't like it, she liked the texture of the bear, so she just kept at it for a good fifteen seconds. "Indeed I am." She knew the bear felt no fear, but even when clearly entertained, her face remained flat and emotionless. She then looked up to Danny with only her eyes. "I think that's pretty cool. You'll get used to people having powers here, but I doubt you'll find anyone like me, I know the effects I can have on people, I just have to come to terms with it even if it becomes hard at times." Even her hands were odd. They looked aged, squarish and knobbly with very pornounced knuckles yet overall slim hands. "So I'm guessing your power is... Making objects come alive? I see no other interpretation to this." She then picks up the plushie by the neck and rotates it, spotting the string that led back to the girl. "I see now. This must be the connection. I'll let you have your brave knight back." She hands the bear back to Danny and stands up straight. "Come on, now, do you really want to stay on the ground?" She held out a hand for Daniella, but knew that Daniella might be too heavy for Yari to reasonably hold up with just her own strength body weight, so with this information, Yaro just assumed Danny would take it as a simple gesture of kindness rather than an actual offer of help. "Danny's a nice name. Unexpected, but I like it. You from the U.S., right?" She asked quickly.
Paul
The Bear imbued with his personality was the embodiment of chivalry, bravery and knighthood. At least according to cartoons, shows and books Danny had read. The bear responded to the pets independently, uncaring to Yari's looks. He wasn't given life to judge anyone based on looks, and he certainly seemed to enjoy being rubbed on his helmeted head despite it being simple plush. Perhaps some were brave enough to face Yari, but the bear that looked up at her couldn't know fear. For Kodiak, he was a pure imagination given life.

Danny would listen to the younger and smaller Yari, she spoke confidently enough for Danny to understand that despite the age gap, Yari understood this place better.
"Well they aren't alive per say..., but sort of. They have to be connected."
Danny couldn't even half explain her powers without some conversation going into how they were imagined characters. A little embarrassing for a twenty year old to be talking about how she envisioned the toys she kept from youth. It was a glimpse into Danny's childish nature after all.

The bear being handed back, Danny rested him on her shoulder where he took a seat and clung to her jacket. Danny didn't take Yari's hand. Unease still reigned in her body, plus the sheer height difference didn't help. Danny was still a little afraid however, despite her extended little guardian's behavior. Danny managed to stand herself fine enough, patting off some loose grass.

"U.S.?",
A brief pause as Danny tried to collect her thoughts for a moment.
"Oh, no I am from Italy. I watched a lot of American cartoons while growing up!"
A little excitement in the subject was there, Danny enjoyed such entertainment.
"I have never left the country until now. Where are uh, you from?"
Danny hesitated asking where Yari was from, expecting some strange response like 'hell' or 'the endless chasm'.
Oscar
She found some solace in the bear's behavior. Programmed to know no fear and face all danger with steadfastness, the olden accent it had added to the whimsicality of it. A small smirk appeared in her face. "Makes sense. Imbued with life upon contact... Cool, cool cool." 

It wasn't exactly hidden that Danny still didn't trust the girl, but to be fair she also didn't make herself very socially appealing either, she sort of ditched the whole thing not too long ago. She blinked, finally.

"Italy, huh? That's fun, I'd ask what it's like there but I don't want to hear that specific thing at this specific moment for reasons unknown to me. I never got to watch much growing up, but I've seen a few cartoons on the internet, they're fun..." With every word on the topic of childhoods, she seemed to grow slightly more distant before snapping back to the conversation, and thus, reality.

"I am from the distant, lawless, unholy land of..." She spoke dramatically, crouching and taking in a faux alert body language before her tone went flat again. "Puerto Rico." She stood up straight again. "Not much to say about ny life there due to... Circumstances. Although, a notable feature is the constant heat, so over here I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of getting hypothermia or some shit at any time past sundown. Temperature shock had me down for the first couple days after getting here, too."
Paul
Danny watched the eyelids move, so Yari did blink. That was oddly comforting to know there was a human being of some sort here. Although strange behavior would soon come back. Yari didn't want to hear about Italy? Perhaps the subject was boring to her.

Danny still felt it was weird in the way Yari phrased it. Reasons unknown, was something Danny didn't know how to respond to. Thankfully the subject wouldn't remain. Danny even smiled a little as Yari mentioned she had watched s few cartoons. Although it seemed like she was becoming distsant.

Although Danny wasn't sure where to begin or end, let alone dive deep into the psychology of someone she did not really know. The dramatic display of her announcing she wss from Puerto Rico had Danny smiling a little at least. Yari was strange and scary but not too awful it seemed. Although Danny wasn't entirely sure where that was, but consideting the nature of the name, it narrowed the region down in her mind along with the context of heat.
"It is very, very cold here. I had Petunia hugging me so I could stay warm when I first got here."

Danny realized Petunia wasn't here, and such was necessary to explain.
"Oh, Petunia is my big bear, she likes to hug, and she's weighted, she uh... Is very nice."
Danny trailed off, trying to contain her little excitements in her interests and what she cared about.
"I think you'd like Petunia, I'll introduce you sometime. She makes really good tea and cooks well!"

In reality, Danny cooks well, and she knew some good teas. They could only function off the knowledge Danny had. Although for Danny, Petunia had always been a caretaker character in her mind.
"If I may ask, why are you flying around?"
Back to a slightly nervous tone with Danny as if she asked a question she shouldn't.
Oscar
So far, she liked Daniella. Danny was nice, a bit jumpy but it was nothing here or there, since she understood where the jumpiness came from, guessing that Danny was sheltered or used escapism as a coping mechanism a lot. She really had to stop psychoanalyzing people, it got really annoying even to herself.

"I usually just wear snuggly shit day-round, plus its all I have." She replied flatly.

Once talk about Daniella's other bear, she seemed interested again. "I'd like to meet it at some point, sounds wonderful." Her stone face would shift a bit when she mentioned food, good food. She raised an eyebrow, and for once began to express some actual emotion. "I'm sold."

"I met another kid a few hours ago and decided to take him to the forest. We got to a river then took him to a lake as that giant bird thing, he makes himself fly with gravity, I think. Anyway, after that I just chilled at the lake and found returning as the bird far more convenient than taking the hour-long walk back to here." She explained quickly and concisely, giving some context to fill in any gaps that the rrasoning may have had without it. 

"I just do things like that out of convenience, just fly off until I can barely see this place, then land and fuck around until I get bored, the cold makes it easier to stay outside for longer since there's no blistering heat all the time making me exhausted by just doing that." Her words were sound, confident, but not the leader-confident, she was just very sure about what she was saying, as if she'd answer any question asked to her without hesitation.
Paul
The conversation was improving, flowing even. A bit surprising to see this girl that was a monstrous creature not too long ago was beginning to warm up to Danny. At least, that'e what Danny thoughy when food got Yari more involved. Answers were given as well as to why Yari was in the form Danny had seen. Yari wasn't bad at all.

"That makes sense I guess."
If Danny could fly around, she'd likely do the same. Danny's mind pictured a giant paper plane or some such, she didn't know how to fly. Although gliding made more sense. Maybe she could test her own self as well.

"I'm sorry however".
Danny spoke to Yari, looking at her.
"I judged you, you are a nice girl".
Danny looked down at Yari with a look of apology as well. She honestly felt bad now, she should take a page from Sir Kodiak perhaps sometime.

"Do you like calzones? If i can get some stuff to cook, I'll make it up to you. Petunia puts love in her cooking".
Danny smiled to Yari, an offer of dinner sometime. It was the least Danny could do to try and make up to Yari. From Danny's perspective, it must be awful to be simply judged immediately for how one looked.
"Maybe pizza as well, everyone likes pizza."
The place where she lived was coming out. The culture of simply feeding others and making theor bellies full. It was the way of her town and its influence was here.
Oscar
She felt a brief confusion when she was told that she had been judged by Danny, yo which she shrugged. "Everyone does it, I refuse to believe that no one doesn't judge at any point. I can see why, though, but I won't hold ot against you. But thanks." She looked away for a bit, her face returning to stone for a brief moment before returning with life.

"I don't really know what a calzone is but it sounds good." She let her continue, and only watched with mild curiosity on her face, but it was clearly not stony and blank. "Pizza? Yeah, I like pizza, stole some one time, probably the best thing I've eaten so far." She thought and reminisced, she remenbered eating pizza given to her by a stranger. It was the best thing she'd ever eaten. "I like to cook, but it's been losing its kick recently, to be honest." She took in a quick deep breath, then began to look away and at the ground, she couldn't stop thinking, her mind began to race.

Over the span of a few silent seconds, it was becoming very evident that she had begun to suffer some sort of panic attack. She just began to disassociate from the conversation, from Daniella, and she suddenly began to get very fidgety with herself.
Paul
Danny would be unaware of what was happening to Yari. She hadn't experienced such a thing herself before. How should she react? At the moment, it was concern. They were having a nice conversatiin and then the smaller girls' demeanor had completely changed.

Danny could at least tell something was wrong as Yari began to fidget. Danny had read a lot of books about stuff but she herself was isolated from a lot of interaction with other children. She kneeled down to Yari's height,
"Hey, you alright?"
The bear upon her should had fidgeted to lean forward, giving his own insight, if unneeded,
"Fair Yarimrl, dost thou need something?"
Even the bear itself was concerned with the display, his stubby legs hitting the ground as the small creature moved of its own will to the feet of Yarimel, a stubby little arm moving to touch the foot of the girl, unknowing as to what was happening or what to truly do.

Danny only watched on, still nervous to touch Yari herself. Reservations of diving too deep into the unknown. She wanted to help, yet didn't know how and mixed with unease, it made her feel fairly useless.
"Should I go get someone?"
Danny asked this sheepishly, definitely not qualified to help with matters like this.
Oscar
She wouldn't respond to Daniella or the bear, but did acknowledge that they said things to her. She would quickly shake her head and her fingers began to flex awkwardly. She felt an overflowing emotion suddenly rise from within, it was powerful, and began to take over her from within. 

"Just- no. No- I'm..." She was angry, the toughts began to fill her head, she opened her arms quickly. She wanted a hug. "Hug." Her fingers were visiy very shaky and her fingers were darkening slightly, her eyes were wide open.

[reddit videos + exhaustion from yardwork = a very tired and distracted mind]
Paul
Danny looked at the bear between the two. Unlike Danny, the bear did not hesitate, hugging onto Yari's foot. Danny took a second however. Her creation was simple minded in truth, Danny took more time to process the request. Her hands reached up tentatively.

Leaned in, Danny went to hug Yari close. Danny's arms moving to press Yari into her own body.
"I'm not so good..., Petunia is much better at hugs".
Danny was awkward with her motions. Other than her parents and some older people in her town, she hadn't really hugged too much. Especially someome she had just met.

Danny wasn't going to abandon someone if they needed something though. In Danny's mind, Yari was just a young girl that likely had a harsh time. 
"I'm sorry."
Danny apologized for no reason in particular, a habit of a reserved child that had grown. Never wanting to be a bother to anyone or mess things up for others.
Oscar
She would pause, appreciating the hug from the bear, but she was still angry, and just remembering all of those sleepless nights foraging, followed by hate-filled days for so long, the tiniest of slivers of it had been coming out, the rage of it all. She picked up the bear gingerly and handed him back to Danny. "Cover... Your ears... And maybe your eyes, too..."

She would take some steps away from Daniella, give her time to process the situation, and once she was sure Daniella had done what she asked to, at least the covering her ears part, she'd turn away from the building and put her hands to her own ears, but not to block out the sound. She would then scream into the tree line,but this wasn't a scream you'd expect from her voice. It was much louder, and sounded more like something straight out of nightmares, her hands visibly turning black, the fingers lengthening severely ending in clawed tips. The scream itself was preceded by a short growl, and was more of an ear-piercing screech, with deep undertones like a revving engine. It took her a few secinds to recover from the rage, but when she looked back to Danny, she gave her a thumbs-up.

"I'm fine now..."

She let the silence linger.

"So, about those calzones, you think we can make one? Actually, what even are they?" She broke the silence quickly again, tilting her head as she asked about the calzone things, her hands looking normal again.
Paul
Danny took the bear once Yari had moved away from the hugs. Sir Kodiak put his stubby little arms to his helmet to mimic plugging his ears at least. Danny would do the same, albeit with fingers over her inner lobes to properly plug them for sound. As the scream was released, the vibrations caused her vision to shake slightly. This being the reason Yari had said to maybe close her eyes then.

Danny felt discomfort with the scream even with ears closed. Eventually it would end and silence reigned supreme. Cautiously Danny unplugged her ears and the bear's arms followed suit, away from where his ears would be under the plush helmet. The silence was very much so this time around, Danny nor Sir Kodiak could truly say anything to the scream or the situation prior. Danny would only snap to when calzones finally came back up.
"Uh yeah, if there's stuff inside with the ingredients. Calzones are basically pizza but turned over so its inside all the dough. A lot less mess." 

Danny gave an uneasy smile. At least, perhaps some food might make the siutation less awkward. Danny didn't mind making it either. It would mame a better cecete of attention perhaps as well.
"Shall I go make one for you?"
