Hey, Harmony! We haven’t talked in so long! How’ve you been?

Oh, hey Amber! Oh, I’ve been pretty good. What have you been doing? ~~Hopefully, your homework…~~

I mostly always do my…

I have no idea what I want to wear - especially if it’s this weird theme everyone wants to do. I’m thinking of like a minidress or something that’s brown. I don’t know right now. It depends on the theme.

Orange goes with brown, right? The steampunk thing sounds cool, but I’m not sure I have anything to wear to it. Maybe it would just be easier if it was a normal dance theme, y’know? There aren’t so many different choices then.

I mostly always do my homework, so no worries. Anyways, I’ve been planning for this awesome dance! I’m so excited!

Oh, I know what you mean. I’ve been trying to find a dress to wear, but I can’t decide on anything. Have you figured out what you’re wearing yet?

Good point. I heard about that dance coming up; whose idea was that? It sounds like a lot of fun!

What is the theme?

How about Steampunk?

That sounds like a good idea. Personally, I’m not into it, but the clothing looks cool.

Oooh, that sounds awesome. Is there a committee for this dance because I’d love to be on it.

OOC: It’s cool. I’m just glad you’re feeling better! :)

OOC: Thanks. :) And evidently a few of you were receiving messages for different HoA RPs? I know I got a few, but I ignored them. People can be really crazy. Anyways, I’ve gotta go. I’ll be on tomorrow. :D

OOC: Yeah, I’ve been hearing about specifically hoarpg. There seems to be a lot of people on that one. And anons have been pestering other people to join.

I'm hearing chatter about a school dance happening some time in the future? Can anyone confirm this?

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 15:58:35 -0400

~~Maybe I’ll even get asked.~~

OOC: Adios, guys. I gotta get to bed. I'll do my best to come back on in the morning before school. See you later! :D

Oh, hi Mara! Oh my goodness, you’re right. Well, I did a new sketch of a tree, which took me what felt like years. I actually really reek at drawing trees. How’re you?

Alright, what have we got here? Harmony thumbed through the school library books, her fingers coming to rest on The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan. Smiling, she took the book and strode across the room. She promptly sat down in a quiet, unoccupied corner. Or so she thought. “Oh!”…

“Me neither.” Harmony smiled tentatively, looking from the bespectacled girl in front of her to her novel and back. “I’m, um, Harmony,” she said, offering a hand to the blonde. “Would it be okay if I could just sit and read here?”

Sierra looked down, “Sierra…” She smiled slightly. She moved her stuff out of the way fro Harmony to sit, “Be my guest.”

Come on, talk more than this! Sierra thought to herself, hoping her nervousness would go away. She was beginning to really like the idea of making new friends at Amun.

Harmony smoothed her skirt and sat down primly next to Sierra. “That’s a pretty name,” she tried, running her fingers across the cover of The Lost Hero. “So…” She tried not to sigh. It seemed that Sierra wasn’t much of a conversationalist either. “Um… what are you reading?”

Sierra’s eyes shifted to the cover of her book, and she held it over for Harmony to see. “Mockingjay… I gave Mara The Hunger Games and it re-sparked my interest in the series.” Sierra set the book down, trying to fight the awkward tension she was creating. “You?”

“Oh, I’ve read The Hunger Games. It really was amazing, wasn’t it? Suzanne Collins is a genius.” Harmony bit her lip to keep herself from babbling. Focus, focus. “This?” She held up her own novel, pointing the dragon on the cover. “It’s The Lost Hero. A spin-off of Percy Jackson, my all-time favorite book series. Have… have you read them?”

Sierra smiled, “Yes, I loved her style of writing.” If she avoided eye contact, it wasn’t as nervous of a situation for her. “And no, sorry. I’ve been wanting to for a while now, but I’ve been busy with something in the house…” Sierra closed her eyes afterward, immediately wishing she hadn’t said anything even alluding to the goings on in her house.

Harmony’s eyes widened and she leaned closer, holding the thick novel close to her chest. “Really? Like what?” She was aware she was being nosy and it was entirely possible that Sierra didn’t even want to talk about her house’s… goings on. But, she couldn’t help herself: gossip, any type of it, drew her in. Harmony hated to be out of the loop and being a new kid, it was guaranteed.

(OOC: See you soon!! :D)

Sierra closed her eyes in regret, she wishes she hadn’t said anything. She could barely speak let alone tell a lie. “I’m…seeing things, at night.” Sierra knew she was saying way too much, but the words were just coming out now; something she was not used to at all. “Every night, I see a…” The scene replayed in her head, every night seeing that Egyptian creature enter her room. Sierra wanted to take back the past 5 minutes, spilling out all of this information to someone she met in half of the time she wanted to erase. Sierra got up and gathered her things, “I should go…” She just stood there, wondering if leaving was really the right choice.

Harmony’s mouth dropped open as she listened to Sierra talk, wondering briefly if she was making it up. Surely she couldn’t really be seeing things! But, what reason could she have for lying? As Sierra stood up, Harmony instinctively reached out a hand and placed it on her arm. “Are you being serious?” she asked her sincerely, studying her face. “Because, if you are… I want to help.” Call it natural curiosity. Or total boredom.

(OOC: Nice to see ya!)

Sierra was shocked to see how Harmony was receiving what felt like crazy talk. “You… You want to help?” Sierra never knew when or how it would occur, but sometimes she would just stop clamming up and start talking again with people she met. She never quite understood her selective mutism, but she was thankful that it was going away with Harmony. Sierra wasn’t sure if there was any help that could be done, but the fact that she even offered meant the world to her. Sierra sat back down beside Harmony, “Are you sure? I’m afraid to get anyone involved.”

(OOC: Thanks! Good to be back. I didn’t expect to mention the sphinx Horus house plot with anybody so soon, haha. I swear, characters have a mind of their own sometimes.)

Harmony wrung her hands, considering her choices. She could lie and tell Sierra that she was only kidding when she’d said that she wanted to help, flounce off and be a complete jerk to someone who may or may not have been lying. Or, she could agree to whatever it was she was agreeing to and actually try to help. Straightening up, the teen made her decision. “Well, you can’t this all on your own, right?” she nodded, smiling at Sierra. “And besides. If this has anything to do with Egypt, you’re going to need a mythology nerd on your side.” Harmony held out a hand to the girl. “I’m ready to help.”

(OOC: Oh my god, I know what you mean. But this looks like it’s working out pretty well. The house plot sounds awesome and I can’t wait to start working on it!)

Sierra looked up at Harmony in disbelief, “Yes, it does have to do with Egypt. The mythology around it to be exact, but I don’t really know the reasonings for why that is.” Sierra then proceeded to tell Harmony all about how she’s been sleep deprived for the past few days, ever since she started seeing the sphinx in her room in the night. She confided in Harmony in a hushed tone, so as not to attract eavesdroppers, of the details of the golden beast that would stroll into her room and how much it terrified her. Sierra took a deep breath when she could explain all that she could, which unfortunately was very, very little information. “I know it’s a lot of information, well, sort of. I understand if you don’t want to believe me, I told you from the start how unbelievable it was.”

(OOC: It’s so good to hear from you again! Well I’m glad everything is alright, have fun on your vacation and I’ll see you on here when you get back!)

(OOC: Hey hey! Sorry, I was grounded for a couple days. But I’m back and I’ll try not to have any more big absences!)

Harmony listened carefully as Sierra explained about the sphinx she was seeing, feeling more and more determined to fix this. She seemed really scared and Harmony couldn’t even imagine how spooky it would be to see the thing live.

When Sierra stopped and admitted that the whole thing seemed kinda unbelievable, the American teen shook her head. “No way. I’m definitely in now. But, I think that maybe… I could be more help if I…” Harmony paused and took a deep breath. “If I could actually see it. Like, sleeping over in your room.” She nervously combed her hands through her hair, wondering if she’d been rude to basically invite herself over.

OOC: Hey.. It's been two days, where are you? Hope everything's alright.

Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:09:04 -0400

OOC: Oh, my god. I am so, so, so sorry. I’ve been really busy because I’m going on a trip this weekend and my mom keeps packing and unpacking my stuff and it’s pretty hectic over here. She finally left the house, so I can go online. :D To answer your previous question, yeah, Harmony was only guessing. She already thought it was weird that all the houses were named after Egyptian gods and goddesses, y’know? So that would make sense.

Anyway, I’ll talk to you when I get back Monday! :D

Sam was heading to class, until she decided not to. She wasn’t so into math these past few weeks and decided that she might as well give up. She headed outside to maybe sketch some things. She was bored and didn’t know what to do. Tired of walking, Sam sat down under a maple…

Sam looked up at the girl. The girl was American, she could tell easily. She put her pencil down and smiled at the girl, warmly. “I’m Sam. Come sit?” She asked.

Harmony smiled briefly and knelt down next to the girl, crossing her legs slightly. “Hi, Sam.” She opened her lunch bag and pulled out a tuna salad wrap. She thanked her lucky stars she’d had to learn how to make her own lunch early, or she probably would’ve starved at Amun. The fish and chips in the cafeteria were not exactly healthy. “So… where’s your lunch?” she asked, pausing with her wrap halfway to her mouth.
