First Day of AniHigh, Gypsy Style

[Esmeralda]

Oh well, it could have been worse. I could have been turned into something worse, something that couldn't be reversed, thought the girl who was now sitting on a bench outside in the courtyard of the school. Today was her first day and one of her classes was magic. She had been looking at all the interesting things in the room when she lost her balance and fell into one of the shelves and a vial fell off ab dumped all over her. Then everything was a blur of colors and light. When it stopped she just stood there; she was afraid to move. Everyone was staring at her.

She took a deep breath and stopped; it didn't feel like she was breathing at all. In fact, nothing had happened. Suddenly a slight breeze came in through the open window, but instead of blowing on her, it was blowing through her. She screamed, but it didn't sound like her scream. The voice that came out of her mouth sounded light and breezy, like an day in early May.

Gathering the courage to look down, she found that she had been turned into a Sprite! Her entire body was made up of cherry blossoms.

After that everything was just a blur as she spent her morning trying to come to terms with what she had done. She was relieved to find out that eventually it would ware off, but it couldn't happen soon enough for her. After recovering from the initial shock she spent her time mastering how to move and speak. She couldn't really walk anymore she broke apart and drifted to wherever she needed to go.

Now she was sitting on a bench hoping that no one would notice her.

[Puck]

Puck was bored. Quite bored, in fact. He now had a free period, and with nothing to do, decided to go and walk around the courtyard. Everything was starting to bloom and flower outside, and, while he would admit that he very much enjoyed that, he still found himself to be in a rather dull mood.

Passing by one of the benches in the courtyard, Puck paused, taking a step back at the sight of what appeared to be a pile of flowers. Raising an eyebrow, Puck moved closer, staring carefully at the blossoms. Moving closer, he could see the shapes of what looked like a face, as well as a body. Thinking it to be a sculpture of some sort, an intrigued grin grew on his face, and Puck took a seat beside it.

"Wow...that's pretty interesting," he spoke to himself, leaning forward to get a better look. "Only thing is, I can't tell if the art students made you, or the herbology students did." Still smiling, the fae leaned forward slightly, taking in the smell of the cherry blossoms.

[Esmeralda]

"Excuse me! If anyone mad me it was God, not some herbology students!", she shouted at him. How could he possibly think that she was a work of art; her flowers were constantly shifting and moving about, although she remained the same shape, and were not connected to any stems or had any leaves. She was just a pile of shifting flowers gliding over and around one another in midair.

[Puck]

Puck jumped back suddenly, shouting a little in surprise. Apparently, this thing was alive...and he had offended it, it seemed.

"Oh my...erm, sorry about that..." Puck said, a bit wide-eyed as he stared at the creature. Now that he looked closer, he could see that she...he...it was indeed moving in place, the flowers that made up her body shifting ever so slightly.

"Um...who or what are you?" Puck asked cautiously. "I've never seen anyone quite like you around here before."

[Esmeralda]

For the first time Esmeralda was glad that you couldn't really see her facial expressions. "Well, this morning is was just an average girl, but I lost my balance in magic class, bumped into a shelf, got drenched in some potion, and turned into this. But it will eventually ware off, I hope.", she said a little stiffly.

Looking the boy over she said, "Well since we're talking about strange appearances, What are you? I've never seen one of your kind either."

[Puck]

Puck raised an eyebrow, a bit taken back by the girl's stiff tone. It reminded him a little of someone he knew, but he couldn't place just who. Shaking his head, he replied, "Well...and here I thought that I blended in fairly well. I'm a fae...you probably wouldn't have heard of me."

Then again, if she had magic class, she probably would have at some point. Ah well, whatever. He'd thought himself to be human for the longest time, and didn't really think that he stood out much, but perhaps his ears were a bit more unusual looking than he'd imagined.

"Folks call me Puck," the boy smirked. "And, you are?"

((ooc: Would you mind not telling him your name yet, so we could keep our plan going for a little while longer? XD;))

[Esmeralda]

"Why should I tell you?", she asked, looking suspiciously at the boy, or at least trying to. Facial expressions were so hard to make when you were made of flowers.

[Puck]

"Whoa, touchy," Puck said, holding out his hands defensively with an amused smirk. She really seemed familiar now for some reason. But just who was it that she reminded him of? Taylor? Well, there were some similarities between them, but that wasn't quite it. No, it was someone else...and whoever they were, it was right on the tip of his tongue...

Deciding to shrug it off as something that would come to him later, Puck crossed his arms over his chest, still wearing the same cocky grin. "This your first day or something? I don't think I've ever...well, heard you before, considering the fact that I can't see what you really look like."

[Esmeralda]

Suddenly she burst out laughing; his cocky grin and the way he worded things was absolutely hilarious!

"Well, yes. It is my first day here and I was supposed to meet a family member here but they seem to be avoiding me.", she said with her own attempt at a cocky grin.

[Puck]

Puck raised an eyebrow once more, once again a bit surprised at the girl. She'd apparently gone from hating him to liking him in a matter of seconds...interesting. Very interesting indeed.

"A family member you say?" Puck asked curiously, tilting his head to the side. "Well, I doubt they'll recognize you now, but perhaps I can help you find where they are. You never know, they could just not know that you've come yet," the fae continued, remembering how it had come as a complete surprise when both Taylor and Bob had shown up here.

[Esmeralda]

"Maybe you can, and maybe you can't.", she said in a round about way.

[Puck]

Puck scoffed a little at the girl, still stunned by her cocky attitude. It was just killing him to know who she reminded him of now...

"Well, if you don't tell me anything or let me help you, then I guess you'll be on your own, doll," Puck laughed, leaning forward to look down on the girl. "And, I've got better things to do than sit around trying to figure out your riddles, you know."

[Esmeralda]

"Well you should know that I am one big riddle!", she replied with a grin.

[Puck]

Puck had to laugh at that, smiling at the girl. "Well, that may be. But I think you'll find that I'm not much different," the trickster replied. Glancing around for a minute, he briefly pulled his phone from his pocket to check the time. Frowning a little, he looked back up at the girl turned sprite.

"I hate to cut this short, but my free period ends soon. I guess you're just going to have to give me the answer to your riddle, then," Puck smirked. "Or, you're on your own."

[Clopin]

"Puck? Just who are you arguing with?"
Clopin had been out in the Courtyard for a while, and knowing that his free period was almost up, he was heading back to the school, before seeing Puck talking to...flowers?
At least, that's what it looked like to him.
