One of the many hazards of have school bells. Nyx was still thinking about what had been discussed in class, but mostly they were already of a mind on what they wanted to study: summoning. Branding runes on things felt permanent. With how their skin worked, they were not even sure that a rune like the teacher's would hold. And if it did, they were even mroe uncertain about how they felt about anything on their body being permanent. They knew that it was the near opposite of how a lot of other people felt. Shapeshifters were different that way and Nyx even more so than normal for their kind. Sorcery and alchemy weren't uninteresting, but remained neutral in their estimation. Artifice smacked too much of technology to them. Already, they were tied to their cellphone. They didn't need other gadgets and devices occupying their attention. No, summoning was the thing. A soft, dreamy sigh escaped their lips as they thought of all the different fairy tale creatures they might be able to see and interact with. Of them all, water and ice spirits were their most heavy focus. They didn't even know if there were spirits or fairies of ice, but they wanted to find out. They felt a rabid curiosity for Professor merryweather's class growing.<br/><br/><strong>"Can you imagine it, Tara? An undine? Maybe a Sylph? Eeeeee! Oh, a pixie or spriggan? Fuck, I can't wait to learn how to do it!"</strong>A few faces nearby turned to frown at them and they stuck out a bubblegum pink tongue that flashed violent neon colors. Sighing happily again, they clutched the bag to their chest and swung around imaging how water flowed and swirled. Maybe it was their own mercurial nature that drew them to it. but there had always been a draw,<strong>"Oh, oh! A water dragon, yeah? Like in Raya? Are those real?"</strong>They actually squealed and summoned several more smirking looks. They stamped their foot and marched along the pathways of the quad happily humming and occasionally twirling.<br/><br/>A stray thought brought them up short though and they whirled on Tara,<strong>"And did you see the mousy girl in the corner eye fucking the prof? Good grief, get a fucking room and watch some porn. She was worse than even you were. Think Professor Merryweather can't see it? I think she does."</strong>Rolling their eyes, they looked up into the rain falling from the sky and smiled as the drops hit their face in a rhythmic tattoo.<strong>"Well, lunch plans? I mean, it's fine if you don't wanna. But, new year, new place, new friends, yeah?"</strong>They laughed happily again. Nothing was getting them down with the thought of spirits and fairies running around in their head. Freshman lit was next and they closed their eyes to whisper,<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>"She took me to her Elfin grot,<br/>       And there she wept and sighed full sore,<br/>And there I shut her wild wild eyes<br/>       With kisses four."</strong></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Giggling then, they twirled in the rain and sent showers out to strike others. Lookign sheepish now, they quickly put their umbrella up and walked along quitly singing something under their breath.
