If you go down to the woods tonight...

[Macy Deltine]

Macy leaned uncomfortably back on a rock, looking up through the trees into the starry sky. She could recognize some constellations, but Astronomy was not her forté.
It was the second night of the annual Camping Trip, and at that moment, most people were in their tents, slowly emerging. That day they had gone into the forest to look at animal and plant life, and tomorrow they were planning to go into the Caves, which was quite exciting, as they didn't let students into the Caves that often.
Macy tilted her head, so her hair fell over her left eye, trying to strain her neck to see above the trees to look at the sky.
Soon enough everyone would come out of the tents and gather by the fire, for the famous Camping Trip Show, where the students would show off their powers. Macy didn't usually take part in it, but it was exciting to watch the others who were brave enough to.
Beside her was Gypsy in the form of a small dog, who was sleeping with the dying fire radiate. Some time a fire controller would come out and light it back up, but right now Gypsy was just happy to have some warmth on her, other than the freezing touch of Macy that was there all the time.
Macy sat up, and looked around after hearing someone else sit down by the fire.

[Ienzo <//3]

Ienzo sat down by the fire to help Aeleus regain some of his lost heat. The cat had been trying to keep its master warm all night and needed to heat itself up, so Ienzo had wrapped up in a coat and ventured out into the night.
As he let his cat curl up in his lap Ienzo sniffed the air and took in the scent of fellow classmate Macy, he was learning to recognise people by scent. He was getting better at remembering what scent applied to what person, but he still recognised Nadia the best, it seemed that was because he had such strong feelings for her.
Smiling over the fire at Macy Ienzo pucked up the courage to talk to her. He never had before so he was cautiou with his words,
"Stars are beautiful tonight, I don't think I've seen such a clear night for a very long time. Its refreshing." He smiled, turning the fire a pale shade of blue, like a bunsen burner. The blue light flickered across his face and caused his eyes to glitter and his hair to be tinted blue in the darkness, Aeleus' fur was also tinted blue.

OOC: This is after the end of playing with illusions, which we haven't got to yet, but we know were its going, just typing up and posting to do. So Nenzo[[Nadia + Ienzo]] is on the go....sorta =D

[Nadia Donovan]

Nadia was sitting in her tent, trying to think about what to do at the Camping Trip Show she'd heard so much about. Obviously she was going to use her colours but how?
She heard Ienzo's voice outside, talking to someone. She blushed slightly, just thinking about him.
Now being fully distracted she went out of her tent and almost automatically sat down beside Ienzo. Aeleus was there as usual, sitting on Ienzo's lap. She automatically reached out and stroked Aeleus, smiling at Ienzo. It was only then that she remembered they were not alone and she glanced at Macy and blushed again.
"Uh, hi Macy... what time does the show start?"

[Tamika Dombrovski]

Cuddling down into her parka usually kept for snowboarding, Tamika did this odd gimpy skip from her tent towards the fire. A few people were there already, but she still managed to get a good space by the fire. For some reason this camping trip was making her extremely happy, it seemed cool to hang out with a bunch of people you normally wouldn't around a campfire. She even managed to ignore the curious spirits dotted in various places through the campsite. Pulling her knees up to her chest, a favorite sitting position of hers, she engulfed her hands in a fireball to keep them warm.
Turning her head she smiled at the rest of the group congregated by the fire, "Hey guys. 'Sup?"

[Macy Deltine]

Macy ran her fingers thourgh her hair, subconsciously wishing that she was able to feel the heat from the fire. It seemed that the others were enjoying it.
"I know, it's been rather chouldy recently, but I'm so glad that it so nice now." She said in response to the new student to Orchid, Ienzo. She, again, didn't know if it was hot or cold, but form teh looks of it, it seemed nice.
"Um," She said, looking at the other new student who ahd been placed into the Academics, Nadia. "I'm not too sure, from my knowledge, I don't think there's a set time that that it'll start at, I think it just starts when it does." She said, smiling. She heard someone behind her, coming out of the forest, and before she was able to turn around, she froze their feet to the ground.
"Goodness, Macy, you don't have to go that far!" She heard the familar voice say, and she quickly melted the ice, so Steve could sit down beside her. His hair was covered with a hat, but she could see tufts of blue-green hair peeking out from under it.
"What's wrong?" She asked, nodding to his hair, knowing that he was feeling anxious, but happy.
"Hmm?" Steve touched a bit of the hair, before realising that the hat was showing a bit of it. He pulled it down, and smiled. "I'm fine." He said, looking around the fire at the other people.
"So, how has the new school year been going for everyone?" She asked, trying to start a general conversation with the group. Well, it was her duty to take intiative, she supposed, being a Head.

[Nadia Donovan]

It wasn't long before a few others joined Macy, Ienzo and Nadia. She knew Tamika but hadn't even seen the other guy.
"So, how has the new school year been going for everyone?" Macy started up the conversation.
"Not so bad... I'm not behind on my subjects and I'm getting to know more people now," Nadia blushed a bit, looking at Ienzo briefly.
"Yeah, I'd say it's going well... what about you?" She wasn't really asking anyone in particular, just being polite.

[Ienzo <//3]

Ienzo smiled over at Nadia as she sat down, her hand automatically reaching out to stroke Aeleus on his knee. It took all his restrain not to reach out and take her slender hand in his own.
Looking up as he got a reply from Macy he smiled up at her, the fire turning a pale green in the moonlight. "Its a fantastic night for stargazing, If I wasn't gunna take part in the show i'd find a spot to lay down and watch them til I fall asleep" Ienzo said, Turning his face skywards and propping himslef up with his hands.
"School? Ha, don't talk to me about school. Memory problems and not remembering anything beyond a few years ago impairs your learning a tad. So terrible. I'm going to have to find a tutor soon." Ienzo smirked from under his fringe, which he'd turned blue for the time being.
"So, who alls going to provide the night's entertainment? I'm up for it if other people are." Ienzo said, Aeleus squirming around on his lap.

[Nadia Donovan]

"I would offer to tutor but I don't think that would be the best idea... I would be too easily distracted." Nadia smiled over in Ienzo's direction before continuing, "I'm planning to have go tonight... not sire what I'm going to do yet but I'll have a go."

[Jethro Foster]

Jet was tired of sitting in his tent so he had gone for a trek in the forest..not too far from the campsite but far enough so he couldn't hear the others talking.
The last time he had seen them they had all been going into their tents to have a laugh or too relax. Jet couldn't realx with other surrounding him and he didn't feel like being social at the time.
But now that his head was clear again, with music notes flying about inhis head forming various tunes, he felt strangely in the mood too join in on any discussions going on.
He was on his way back into the campsite now were he could here a few voices talking but not in far enough to hear what they were chirping about.
He sped up a little and as he reached the edge of the camp he could hear what the new girl, Nadia, was saying.
"-not sure what I'm going to do yet but I'll have a go."
But that was not what caught his attention. There sitting to one side of the fire with a parka on and her hands enclosed in a fireball, was Tamika.
He had a small smile, which vanished into his apathetic face as soon as he walked past the others and over to the other side of of Tamika.
He sighed, "Hey people, sup?"

[Tamika Dombrovski]

Tamika sat smiling and looking at her hands. She wasn't participating in conversation much anymore, well, mainly because people seemed to be breaking off into their own little conversation's a bit. She had looked up when someone sat beside Macy, but tried not to flail over his hair color, which to put bluntly, was pretty d**n sweet. The next time she looked up was when she heard footsteps and noticed Jethro.
"Jet!" She greeted, a little too enthusiastically. "Hey apple-crumble, what's crack-a-lackin'?" She grinned at him.
Tamika then turned round to ask Macy a question.
"Hey Macy, if I were to throw a fireball at you and you an iceball at me and they collided in mid-air, what would happen?" She asked, her head cocked in a curious way. She probably sounded like she intended to hurt Macy or something, but in actual fact, she just really wanted to know.

[Ienzo <//3]

Ienzo was gazing up at the stars. They flutter like butterflies, so beautiful. Ienzo grinned, the stars had given him an idea for his little act. Ienzo turned his hair a violent shade of pink that assulted the eyes of anyone that chose to look at him. Ienzo gave himself pink kitty ears and changed his eyes to golden with cat like slits. Grinning over at Nadia he revealed blue fangs hidden just behind his lips. The fire crackled and turned a muddy brown colour. Aeleus shuffled about in his lap, his fur turning bright red. "So guys, I don't know half of you. Anyone think introductions are in order?" Ienzo said as he sat up, lookaing around the circle he grinned, he knew he looked ridiculous.

[Macy Deltine]

Macy thought for a couple of seconds after thinking about what Tamika had said.
"I'm not sure, we can try, if you want. It might be interesting." She said, feeling her fingers begin to create an ice ball. Her guess would be that if they were to hit each other right, then it would probably burst into steam, depending on the temperature of her fire ball. "Do you want to try?" She asked, feeling curious now of what would happen.
She sat up on her knees, and edged herself towards the fire, but not close enough tha it would, well, melt her. She felt the ball in her hand become a good shape, and put it behind her head, to it looked as if she was going to throw a ball.
"You ready?" She asked, getting ready to throw it and complete the experiment. She heard Steve shift beside her, watching her every move. Out of the corner of her eye, see could see that the parts of his hair that she could see where a deep blue now. She smiled to herself, at how he was worried about her.
"Okay, 1..2..3.." She counted to Tamika, hoping that no-one would get in the way, as this wasn't the safest experiment. Well, all the more fun.

[Tamika Dombrovski]

Tamika grinned like a small child as Macy sat up on her knees, and copied the movement herself. As Macy formed the iceball, she rubbed her hands together, using the friction to create a fireball. She looked up again as Macy began a countdown... Or would it be count-up?
"Okay, 1..2..3.."
"Go!" Finished Tamika, bouncing the ball once in her hand for luck and then throwing it in the direction of Macy. Well, not actually at Macy, but... Yeah...

[Macy Deltine]

Macy threw her ball of ice towards Tamika's ball of fire, and watched, as if in slow motion, as it collided right above the fire. At first a lot of steam came off it, but then the remaining water fell on the fire, putting it out.
"Wow. That was fun." She said, staring at the fire, or atleast, what used to be the fire. It wasn't totally darm, the stars seemed brighter than she had thought initially. She felt Gypsy sit up, not quite sure what had just happened. Macy felt her companion transform into her usual form of a cat, and crawl onto her lap, burying her head into her arm.
"Um, would anyone like to start the fire?" She asked, looking around at the others.

[Tamika Dombrovski]

Tamika stared in amazement at the reaction of the ice and fire hitting each other. She started to giggle like a 4-year-old on lemonade when the fire went out and sat down on her heels.
"That was so rad!" She clapped. Looking round the rest of the campers she realised she was the only one having such an excitable reaction. Blushing, she shimmied back and sat down beside Jet again.
"Um, would anyone like to start the fire?" Asked Macy.
"I'll do it," offered Tamika, "Since I did help put it out."
She stared at the wood, drying it out, then shot some small flames at the wood to relight it.
"There we go," she smiled.
