(Okay then! I'll set up the collision to happen!)<br/>[Avery and Amber]<br/><br/>Amber actually bends over backwards to look at Avery more directly, though upside down. (is her spine made of Rubber?) "Awww, whats with the long face?" She asks, pouting slightly. "You're not slowing me down at all like this, Avery! I like to savor the experience when I stuff someone up my butt. I can do it fast, but that's not as much fun! Not many humans would've said yes, either, so that's really nice of yo- is that Reggie?"<br/><br/>The sudden question is abrupt, and Avery can't be sure if she's asking him, or her. She seems to be asking him, because who else would she be talking to, and she's peering at him rather intensely, but why would she ask him That?<br/><br/>"I think it is! Wow she caught a lot of people." Amber says admiringly, and Avery would notice that she's peering past him rather than at him. "Wonder what she's doing way out heeeeuuuuOMAIGAWDS!" The gasp/exclamation ends her pondering just as suddenly as it began, her eyes widening.<br/>"I SEE WINTER!"<br/><br/>0000000000000000000000<br/><br/>[Winter and Telluria]<br/><br/>Telluria smiles a bit more openly as Winter accepts her handshake, her eyes twinkling as Winter admits that she also attends the rather high end Academy. She finds Winters dry wit and 'statistical evidence' amusing in one so young.<br/><br/>"However likely or unlikely such an intersection may be, I would not find the collision unpleasant." the elven woman says lightly, but her eyes are dancing. Is she making a joke? About getting knocked on her butt by a delinquent on a hoverboard?<br/><br/>Yes, yes she is. Telluria really IS an alien.<br/><br/>Telluria noticed Winter's slightly uncomfortable stance as she rattled off some basic directions to and around the school. It was clear to her that the girl did not want to remain near or at the Academy; She didn’t know why one that seemed so bright for her age would avoid such a secure place of learning, but felt that Winter would not want to discuss it.<br/><br/>"Thank you for the directions, but I already have my schedule and dorm. I was a bit lost in the outer city-" whatever Telluria was about to say, neither she nor Winter would ever really know. The elf’s eyes lock on something behind the girl. Winter would see Telluria’s eyes widen for an instant, as she had when she’d crashed into the elf… and then a large slim hand clamps onto Winter’s shoulder, and yanks her off her hoverboard!<br/><br/>and a thin beam of light flashes through where she was mere milliseconds before! There’s a shriek as it strikes a woman in it’s path, but Winter wouldn’t be able to any details because Telluria is moving, leaping over the heads of the rest of the pedestrians. Winter’s experience on the hoverboard would let her realize that the elf has performed a cartwheel one handed as she lands, Winter pressed tightly to her right side, and landing upright… on the other side of the street. The shining beam sweeps through the crowd and across the street, raising more screams and cries as it passes indiscriminately through other pedestrians and over the windshield of a passing ground-car, causing it to swerve wildly into the side of a building, other humans diving out of the way.<br/><br/>Before Winter has completely processed all this, the beam of light is upon them. Telluria shouts a foreign word, raising her free, left hand… which glows with purple light as a strange rune appears in her bare palm. The beam hits a shimmering shield of purple light, a jarring, high pitched squeal filling the air as it fails to penetrate, and quickly cuts off. Winter is still being held close to Telluria, whose keeps her hand raised and the shield up, staring intently in the direction the beam came from. She can feel the large woman’s body tensed up.<br/><br/>All this has happened in less than three seconds.
