silly fork! (open)

[barbiematerialtm]

She walked up to the lake and looked out over the water and started to think about her dark morbid life. She didn't want to remember how her father used to strike her mother across the face, and didn't care about her family. The day her mother left, her father told her, she would be better off dead.

The thoughts of her past haunted her day and night, while she's awake or sleeping.

A fish splashed lightly in the water and caught her attention. She sat down and started throwing pebbles into the water, awaiting someone to come talk to her.

[Fork]

(( Why am I silly Fork? *rantrant* :] ))

Fork meandered her way slowly across the lawns towards the lake. It was another sunny day, and the sparkles on the water, even though they tended to drive her a little on the crazy side--particularly when she was already headed that way--, the sparkles fascinated her.

Fork came up and sat gently on the sand in a crouch, not even noticing the girl nearby.

Avalon gazes over at the girl, admiring how she's fascinated with something, although she doesn't quite understand.

Avalon looked at her and quickly looks away.

"I really want to talk to her, I need to start making some friends, or at least acquaintances." she thought to herself.

But her shyness took over, and she sat thinking about how she would manage to survive the years coming to her dark, black hole, life.

{Invading. I'll delete my post if you want me to.}

Alexis twiddled with her wand a bit on the way down to the Black Lake. I need to practice. She thought, sighing, and looked around her. Two girls were there. One of them she recognized as Fork, a second year that Maria knew, but only slightly. She herself had never met Fork, but had never heard anything sour about her, so she walked down towards the two girls. They didn't seem to be talking much. So, with only a moment's hesitation, Alexis went to talk to them.

Unfortunately, when she wasn't dancing, Alexis could be a real klutz, and tripped a bit over her own feet. She stumbled a bit as she reached the girls and slowly eased herself back into balance. She gave a shaky grin. "Well, that was embarrassing." Alex said, sitting down.

Avalon looked at the girl, quite confused about what had happened.

"Are you alright?," she said, looking at the lake.

[Fork]

"[orange]Of course she's all right...[/orange]" Fork murmured, without taking her eyes from the water. Her face was relaxed, slack, even, mesmerized and made distant by her fascination with the light.

[alexishannah]

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." Alexis said, grinning. "Just a bit of a stumble. No worries." She looked over at the second year, who was staring at the lake. Alex looked as well, but couldn't see anything other than the glittering water. "It's kind of pretty, isn't it?"

[Gyan Salamanece]

{Mind If I join as well?}

Gyan finnaly emerged out of the water about fifty yards from the shore everyone was at, gasping for breath, his wand still emmiting a powerful light. He had forgotten his watch, and figured he could watch the gillyweed's one hour time limit. He was wrong.

Gyan had been searching the bottom of the lake for shed mermaid skin. A very, very usefull ingrediant in potions. Toxic by itself, but it made an eccelent antidote when mixed in with the right ingrediants. He was going to sell them, like he did with most of the potion ingrediants he scrounged around for.

Gyan saw his wand was still alight and he said "Nox", extingusing hit, and clutching a leather pouch and floating on his back. He decided to relax a minute or two before he performed a bubble head charm and dove back down. He preffered gillyweed for underwater excursions, but he had to save what he had before he stocked up.

Fork blinked as something broke the surface of the water, disrupting her almost-trance. Having nothing else to do, she turned to the Farmer girl, who had addressed her.

"[orange]No![/orange]" she said fiercely. "No. It's... it's... no..." her voice drifted off as she began staring at the water again. "Yeah... Fire."
