Hello darkness, my old friend. |: [open!]
« on: August 25, 2016, 11:57:59 pm »
The utility closet was Arrow's old friend. She'd utilized it once, when she'd first arrived in the ATC, to escape from some bullies back when she'd been a nobody.

Er...not that she was a somebody, now.

She'd just figured, you know, that once she was no longer super fresh meat, maybe this wouldn't have to keep being a thing?

The shy ones were always easy targets, and bullies tended to be cowards, but knowing that didn't help her much. Oh, sure, she'd grown a backbone since coming here--the drills and training and new reality of her world did that. She'd learned to fight back, and to talk back. But a backbone didn't do much good when it was three on one and you were smaller.

Thank goodness she was also faster.

And that's how she found herself locked in a utility closet.

Yup. Locked.

Oh, she'd escaped the bullies, all right. She'd dashed away and hidden herself in the closet, which had worked awesomely several months back. But this time they were onto her, for it was hard to hide from a psychic. She'd braced herself for a fight, prepared for them to drag her out--

And instead, laughing, they'd locked the damned door.

Their voices had long since faded down the hall as they headed off to the cafeteria for a lunch it looked like she'd be missing. With a groan, Arrow leaned back against the wall and slid down until she was seated atop an upended bucket, cleaning supplies scattered at her feet and two mops competing for space and insisting on leaning on her no matter how she rearranged them.

She let out another sigh, chin resting on her hand.

Maybe she could kick the door out?

That would be pretty cool, busting on out of captivity like that. What wouldn't be so cool was being found here. How pathetic was that?

Arrow waited several minutes, just to be sure the hall was clear, and then pushed the bucket out of the way so she could sit on the dusty floor and brace against the wall. Pulling her knees to her chest, she kicked out as hard as she could and then cursed as the impact went right through her, and the door didn't budge.

(Do you mind if I reply?)

"You locked us in, didn't you? Foolish Gracie..."

A deep Caribbean accent chimed from the shadows of the closet, followed by a giggle laced with madness. Dark skin began to almost glow the same electric blue as the ring around her mahogany irises, finally giving sight to the entire being. Bracelets and charms glittered against the white candidate uniform that she so hated, which somehow managed to look out of place on her well-defined body. Long legs were tangled in a criss-cross meditation style as she sat on the floor, smirk plastered on her face as if she were born with it. She was half-djinn, though it wouldn't be obvious to tell by looking at her, even with her almost-glowing skin. A thick mane of unkempt hair hung from her head in a messy array that still managed to suit her.

The girl didn't bother standing as she spoke again, "Looks like it's just you and me then. I'm Callisto Aerglo, stage 4 candidate and school psycho."

There was something about her persona - maybe her voice - that screamed volatile. She didn't seem bothered by the fact that they were locked in a dark utility closet. In fact, she was enjoying the situation. It wasn't the first time she had come here, but it was the first time she had encountered someone else. The closet was a cluttered space filled with an assortment of objects, and yet it managed to be sterile in its own way. The whole setup was all too close to the place she once called home, and so had in turn become her go-to spot for meditation or a safe haven when she was having her worse episodes. It had been made all too clear to her that she was only there for her precog abilities and that she was only one demerit or psychotic episode away from being TRIM'd, so Callisto came here to avoid being caught, and her Psychometry had picked up a few things during her time here. She knew about the Gracie who came here - she had picked up the traces of fear left over. This was a hiding place for her, and now the safe place had become a prison.

"Funny that they put the locks on the outside. Seems counter productive," she finally pointed out after a long silence, dark eyes focusing on an area right over the other girl's shoulder as if another entity resided there.
