Her eyes scanned over Balamb Garden slowly taking in every inch of it, every stone step...every window. This was the first time she had set foot in Balamb and her first trip to the Garden, nervous..yes probably more nervous than excited as well. It wasn't just the idea of being somewhere new, it was the fact Seifer was based here also. It had been some time since she had seen him since their split, biting her bottom lip lightly Rinoa looked down to the ground. Brushing up alongside her was her faithful pet Angelo, smiling as his soft fur rubbed against her fingers Rinoa knelt down to stroke his head. Low murmurs sounded from Angelo each time she touched him, a smile formed on her face as she looked to him. Staying in the same position for a few moments Rinoa looked back out to Balamb Garden, her heart beating like a drum. What would she say to him? There was the chance she wouldn't even run into Seifer, Balamb Garden was quite big but....she knew in her heart the chances of seeing him again were high. Somehow they always seemed to be able to seek each other out.
Looking back to Angelo she petted him one last time before returning to her feet, begining to walk Rinoa clapped her hands for him to follow...not that he wouldn't Angelo was blindly faithful. Her boots clicked against the pavement leading up to Garden, it became apparent just how big Balamb Garden was as she came closer. Picking up the pace slightly Rinoa almost burst into a slow jog, maybe the anticipation of seeing Seifer again pushed her. Yes she was scared but also excited to see him again, approaching the entrance to Balamb Garden Rinoa took a deep sigh.
Azura sat crossed leg on a tree branch just big enough to hold him his eyes closed tightly and his ears twitching with each gust of wind and each brush the humans made on the path to the main entrance of the garden. His scythe hung from his belt just high enough so it couldn't be reached bye the passing Hyman's. his ears twitched again as the wind blew past him bring with it words from the planet itself telling him about this place and what used to be here along with the different people that lay inside.his body was perfectly still most thought he was nothing but a statue placed there bye the ground's keeper as a joke. The leaf's of the tree shook slightly as he was gone now standing on the path on the only spot that still has some grass growing on it right in front of quit a few people in a hurry to get inside.
Finally opening his eye's Azura let out a soft growling tone that most wouldn't hear looking aping this building he knew he would have to join it to get to them. His body shook again and he walked toward the door passing a younger looking female with her dog. Azura stopped for a moment and looked at them both then continue to walked as he began to whistle a hymn taught to him a long time ago when he still had family and people to fight for.It was almost to easy for him knowing the ground and lay out already with out even entering the garden he had already set himself on the right path heading towards the far right door away from most of the humans who were start to clutter the main entrance area

So peaceful and relaxing Rinoa happily walked alongside Angelo to the entrance of Balamb Garden, her eyes and ears caught the presence of another. Looking over with a solemn expression Rinoa caught the gaze of male stranger, well of course he was a stranger there would be millions of people she hadn't yet met. Angelo still as protective as ever let out a low growl, almost giggling Rinoa gently stroked Angelo's head letting him know it was ok. Looking back to the man Rinoa was in two minds as to speak to him or continue on into Balamb Garden, it wasn't in her natue to be rude but she was still cautious. Biting her bottom lip Rinoa for some reason stuck her arm into the air and began to wave to this stranger, perhaps he was lost himself or maybe he just wanted to be left alone as well.
"Ummm...excuse me...umm do you know if Seifer or Headmaster Cid? Well I meant to say do you know if they are in Balamb Garden...sorry I'm so rude my name is Rinoa and this is my pet..well my best frien Angelo."
Azura paid the young lady no mind at first after his first look at her and her animal. After all her dog wasent to pleased with him even looking at her .But as he went forward to the other side he could hear her speak and wave her arm in the air at him to get his attention. He turned around his eyes flicker a diffrent color for a moment then settleing. There not hear he spoke out quickly then began to take a step away and caught himself. He was supposed to me new here and know nothing. I mean i dont know if there hear im new here. My name is Azura .T .Skies im not from around here. I then look straight at the dog and speak in cetran at a very low voice to see if animal's would still listen to the planets voice telling it to sit. W/C 153 Total 458

I locked eyes with the male stranger before me, smiling lightly I grabbed hold of Angelo's collar. Pulling him back slightly as he growled lowly, Rinoa looked back up to the man. There was something strange about him, like he was not human almost. Still Rinoa was not one to judge, getting back to her feet still holding Angelo's collar she looked back to the man.
"Oh ok well I will just go inside and see if they are here, I mean some of the students shoud know surely. It's nice to meet you Azura...I'm sorry about my dog normally he is not like this."
Laughing quietly under her breath, the young mage looked back out to Balamb Garden. Inside lay the answer to her problem back in Galbadia, would it work though? Yes she was the leader of the Timber Owls but....was she ready for something a serious as this?
Azura let out a soft sigh as the dog disobeyed the old word's of the earth. The he lifted his head to watch the young lady try to calm the dog down a bit but with slight failure.*It is quiet alright he just doesent know who i am thats all.* Azura keeping eye contact just looked at her. Then began to walk off but stoped after getting off the path heading for a wall. *follow me if you want to get in here with out the hassle of the crowd's* Azura the jumped over a 9 foot fence and waiting seeing if she would come or not he would take her to the garden's forest area.

Squall had just returned from the mission at Deling City. It had been a success despite disobeying Quistis orders of not leaving the spot that was given to his group, he had passed the written exam, the field exam at Fire Cavern and now had been dispatched to his first “Real Mission” and came back triumphant. The young knight had just come down from Cid’s office, having received the first Rank of SeeD; along with just a few select others and being the first ever to wield a Gunblade in Balamb Garden. The brown haired warrior walked across the halls of Balamb Garden, rather a big building, but one that had been his home since he was a child. There was almost nothing he didn’t know about Balamb Garden; at least he thought so and decided to simply explore it a little bit more than he had already done.
The young warrior found himself walking towards the entrance, the halls were crowded with other students, kids mostly, but Seifer was nowhere to be seen. Yes, they might be “rivals” but there was something about him that Squall respected, maybe it was his will to fight, the confidence he had or simply, the difference between them. SeeD instructors already knew about the “friendship” they shared, which was rather dangerous and odd, but Squall appreciated it, that man, the blonde warrior had failed the SeeD exam, yet was part of the discipline committee. Squall shrugged and walked a few steps more, noticing someone he had never seen before at Balamb Garden, a women with long, black hair that rested at her back loosely, wearing a cyan blue “jacket”, with black top and shorts, accompanied by a pet dog entered the Garden.
“She can’t be a SeeD…” Squall thought, usually, SeeD’s are trained since childhood, and this woman was not a child for sure, so that only left him with another thought, another possibility, “A costumer for SeeD?” he tilted his head to the left, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared at the girl, he wasn’t a guy that would walk up to her and help her out, but it did sparked his curiosity on his own way, after all, she might just bring them work to do and, he was sure, Cid would try out the new SeeD members on this mission, yet, he saw another person, he couldn’t really tell what it was, but surely the scythe he held were no good news, though possibly he was just another SeeD member, he stared at this scene, simply analyzing, it was all he ever did before acting.
The Discipline Committee wasn’t really what one would expect; Seifer exploited the power given to him, while Raijin and Fujin followed his orders by the book. The blonde knight was though, rough and rather harsh, but it seemed the method of his discipline worked, Balamb Garden didn’t really have many problems when it came to discipline, but sometimes, Seifer over did it. They had just come from a punishment to one of the mid-aged kids, he couldn’t have been older than sixteen and the head of the discipline committee had made him cry, as the trio walked away, the leader of the group turned his head over his shoulder and looked at the scolded teenager, his eyes squinted and a malicious grin appeared on his lips.
“Scum…with that level of strength you will never become a powerful SeeD” Seifer spoke in a manner that surprised even Raijin and Fujin, they looked at each other in concern, when the young kid said something that no one really expected, “You’re not even a SeeD…what do you know?!” Seifer turned around, his hand reached to the hilt of his Gunblade and was about to attack the kid, Fujin though, quickly placed her hand over Seifer’s and looked into the blonde’s eyes.
“Calm down Seifer…” Her voice calmed Seifer down, though, his teeth gritted slightly as his eyes turned into an angered frown, a few seconds later though, Seifer turned around, once his back faced the young kid, a small whisper came from Seifer’s lips “You’re not even worth it…” with that, the group walked away, getting out from the Library of Balamb Garden, as they walked, Seifer’s hands shoved into the pockets of his jacket, noticing then that across the aisle a guy he knew stood, he stopped and tilted his head proudly, the scar on his forehead was visible, showing it as a scar of battles, his lips turned into a challenging smile as his eyes were set on Squall, for some reason the mere presence of Squall presented a challenge for him.
“Hey you, emo guy, what are you doing in here?” Seifer asked as he noticed Rinoa and that other guy that was leading the way, his lips suddenly turned into a normal way, he knew Rinoa from the summer, they were together and it seemed she was back at Balamb Garden, but, for what reason? Has she come looking for him? Or was this a visit to ask for a favor from Cid? Fujin and Raijin looked at each other noticing the odd reaction their boss had had upon the arrival of the girl, they didn’t really know much about Seifer’s personal life, even less about if he had ever had a girlfriend.

Rinoa almost let out a giggle as Azura jumped the wall into Garden, I suppose his way in would avoid any crowds. Then again no one would know her anyway...well no one except Seifer, a groan almost escaped her lips which wasn't like her at all. She knew in herself that the stress of Galbadia was getting to her, clenching her fists she spun around as she heard a familiar voice near the entrance to Garden. Her eyes locked onto those of Seifer, her mouth parted slightly in shock and suprised. The young white mage hadn't expected to see him so soon after arriving, Angelo rubbed himself up against her leg trying to relax her. Smiling down at him she looked back up to Seifer and began to walk.
"Excuse me a moment please Azura...come on Angelo."
Taking deep breaths as she walked Rinoa began to play with the fabric of her long blue jacket, her shoulder length black hair wrapping around her neck as she walked. Angelo wasn't too far away always beside her no matter what, Rinoa almost picked up the pace to a jog but felt that would seem a bit...clingy and needy to run to Seifer. As she approached him though a feeling of dread washed over her, she didn't really know what to say.
"....Seifer....been a long time...how have you been?"
Seifer heard her voice that girly, angelical voice Rinoa had somehow didn’t have the effect desired on the blonde knight, he knew it had been a long time since they last met and that she probably wanted to catch up on his whereabouts. Raijin and Fujin looked at each other, a frown appeared on their forehead as they didn’t know who this girl was, Seifer had never talked to them about Rinoa, as it was expected from the cold hearted man he was, which made Fujin step ahead and try to stop Rinoa from approaching their leader.
“Hey, who do you think you are-…” Fujin was stopped as Seifer’s hand raised and pushed the girl back, his head turned to look at Rinoa and what seemed to be a smirk appeared on his lips, Seifer crossed his arms over his chest and looked at both, Raijin and Fujin, obviously the order of leaving them alone was given, both of them looked at each other and nodded their heads, turning around and walking towards their dorms, it seemed like Seifer didn’t want them to know about Rinoa, though, there was still a problem: Squall was there.
“Long time no see Rinoa” Seifer said as Rinoa approached him, his eyes turned to look at her, it had been a very long time and he really didn’t remembered much, he noticed the way she acted, cheery as always, but rather uncomfortable as well, as if she didn’t know what to say or how to act around him and, to be honest, he didn’t either. Seifer glanced at Squall that was standing right in front of them, and then looked at Rinoa, his smirk was gone and his eyes had squinted a little.
“I’m sorry; I don’t have time for chit chats, I have more important things to do…maybe another time we can catch up” Seifer said in a rather cold, arrogant kind of pitch, his body turned and the ends of the white jacket he wore waved at the bottom of his legs, he turned his head to look over at Rinoa from above his shoulder and then glance at Squall, seconds later, Seifer looked away and walked towards the dorms, where Raijin and Fujin would certainly be waiting for him.
Post by Squall Leonhart on Mar 19, 2009 18:29:59 GMT
Squall noticed the girl talking to Seifer, it was actually surprising for him, his eyes widen as Seifer actually responded, and obviously knowing who the girl was. Rinoa. It was interesting for Squall to see how things unfolded, he had never seen a side of Seifer that would actually allow someone to get close and for the looks of things, and Rinoa was exactly that. Fujin and Raijin had left on Seifer’s orders and his sight had set on Squall for a few seconds, obviously he wished he wasn’t there, Squall simply crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the wall that rested at his left, Seifer’s comments to him hadn’t irritated him that was just how Seifer acted at times. Even though he wasn’t involved on the conversation, Squall found interesting to learn that Seifer actually knew people beside Fujin and Raijin, people who he would call by their names and not “Shrimp”, “Chicke-wuss” or other nicknames like those.
It didn’t last long, the conversation between Rinoa and Seifer was over in a rather quick way, Squall’s rival turned around, claiming to have more important things to do and left Rinoa hanging, the back of his jacket waving at the movements of his legs and soon his figure disappearing onto the halls that lead to Balamb Garden’s dorms. Squall tilted his head to the right, thinking to himself about what had just happened “So like Seifer…short, to the point and without any worries” he pushed himself off the wall, the crowd kept moving yet he didn’t saw Rinoa flinch at all, he walked towards her, assuming he was a costumer for SeeD.
“Cid is on the third floor, if you have any business with him you can meet him there” Squall pointed at the elevator, being as short and concise as he could, after that, he turned around, and walked back towards the hall he had just come from, though interested on whether or not the girl would hire SeeD and even more, if Cid would actually send him on a mission any time soon.
Azura was already a good ways past the fence when he heard the female tell him to excuse her as she walked almost in a job towards the blonde haired knight. Then jumping back unto the fence he looked down at the area his body perched on the fence as he watched as they talked and the blonde guy pushed back his own team mate as she said something. Azura couldent make anything out bye reading there lips he was to far away. He could sence something was amise there was a bad aura involveing the dark hair man standing on the side.
Azura closed his eyes as they changed color as he tried to talk to the planet but for some reason it wouldent speak back and give him the info he wanted about these people or what they had been doing. The only way he would figure them out is to ask them himself. Azura jumped off the fence and as he hit the ground his scythe clicked on the beams starting to shot forth as his hand stayed on it ready for battle incase something happend. He started his pace towards the blonde kid first his pace quicker then most people as his haste spell was still in effect his walk being as fast as a run. Closeing the gap quickly. W/C 224 Total 802

Rinoa almost jerked her head back as Seifer seemed to shun her off, slightly annoyed and upset by his actions and words Rinoa simply watched him leave along with two others she did not recognise. Angelo stood by her side still seemed to follow Rinoa's gaze to Seifer until he was out of sight, looking down to the ground shuffling her feet Rinoa started to feel slightly out of place here. Having to be strong and tough on her own was hard but it was needed, the freedom of her friends and others depended on this mission to Balamb Garden. Looking up quicky before Seifer had completely gone she decided to speak.
"Oh....ok Seifer see you around then."
Quite needy it sounded from the tone in her voice, almost cursing herself she kicked the dirt from the ground even more. Seeing that the other male was still around Rinoa looked up to him just as he began to walk away, again the young white mage was forced to speak quickly as not to seem totally useless.
"Thanks my name is Rinoa by the way..."
How rude of them both
Thinking safely to herself she had seemingly already formed opinions in her mind, shrugging her shoulders Rinoa decided not to let this get to her. She had a mission to get on with. Patting Angelo on the head once more Rinoa almost skipped off towards the elevator where...well she never caught his name. Still she had found out the information she needed and was going to act on it, taking deep breaths to calm herself Rinoa found herself at the elevator shakily pushing the button up to the headmaster's office.
Summer was over, the fling with Rinoa couldn’t have mean a lot for Seifer and he had made it clear by leaving her at the very entrance of Balamb Garden without even talking to her a lot. For the blonde knight, it was a step forward, moving on from a childish life onto the dream of a grown man, Rinoa was a nice girl, but it was not what Seifer was looking for, he wanted to become a Sorcerers Knight, a recognized warrior that keep her safe and he couldn’t do it by becoming a SeeD, not that he knew what SeeD really were though.
The steps he was taking were by no means fast, he wasn’t in a rush and the simple nature of Seifer allowed him to walk arrogantly and proud, his head raised and looked around the halls to look at every member of Balamb Garden running around, he glanced above his shoulder to see how Squall spoke to Rinoa, a small grin appeared on his lips then.
“That guy…always the same”
He thought to himself as he noticed he was being followed, his grin turned into a frown, his head turned onto the way of the man that was catching up with him. He stopped. The blonde looked at this guy that had a scythe as weapon, seemingly waiting for something to happen or it wouldn’t be so obvious that he had set it ready to strike if anything happened; Seifer squinted his eyes and looked at Azura, not yet knowing his name, but knowing that for some reason he was following him.
“Is there a reason for you to be following me?” Seifer asked on the usual tone of voice he used to speak to everyone else, cold, annoyed and rather arrogant, his white jacket stopped waving behind him as his hands rested at each side of his legs, his eyes were set on this man, he knew not who he was or what he wanted, but he for sure would find out.
As the door to the elevator opened for Rinoa, she found herself face to face with a member of Seed fully dressed in their ilustrious if not flashy uniform. " Miss Heartily, we've been expecting you, the headmaster is this way please". The Seed would lead her irectly ahead into a large office. The room was made of what seemed to be see through glass. The Seed stepped aside as a middle aged man dressed in a white shirt and a crimson vest approached you. He smiled lightly. " Rinoa Heartily of the Timber Owls organisation correct?".
He bowed lightly. " I am Head Master Cid, I recieved your letter concerning your request for help last month, however many things have been hectric around the Garden, the Seeed exams taking place in a live fire confrontation with the Galbadian army.....no not peaceful times at all....". He then looked up lightly. " But oh well thats how this garden makes her money isn't it? hahahaha.....". He moved back to his desk and offered you a chair opposite him. " Please sit. Lets discuss your request in further detail....after that perhaps you can join us for the Seed Ball tonight?".
----------
Elsewhere...
A tannoy sounded over the Garden. " Seed members and other students alike are reminded that the Seed Ball begins at 7pm, those late for admitance will be subject to punishment from the garden disiplinary committee...".
Post by Squall Leonhart on Mar 24, 2009 19:07:30 GMT
Squall glanced as the girl in the blue dress stepped onto the elevator, this gave him the clue that she was looking for Cid and that he hadn’t been imagining the whole ordeal. The SeeD walked down the hall that lead towards the cafeteria, there, a number of SeeD students and members enjoyed the “famous” hot-dogs from the cafeteria, a certain food that Squall didn’t mind at all. He approached the counter and asked one for himself, he was hungry after not having eaten at all during the day; the SeeD was just about to take a bit from his food when he heard the announcement.
“SeeD members and other students alike are reminded that the SeeD Ball begins at 7 p.m. those late for admittance will be subject to punishment from the garden disciplinary committee…”
Great. Just another opportunity for Seifer to have fun torturing weak students, Squall shook his head and ate the hot dog, though he didn’t have much time before the ball began. He walked out from the cafeteria and headed towards his dorm, a small, but comfortable bed took up most of the space of the small room, Squall didn’t really mind its size, it was nothing else but a resting place, where he didn’t really spend a lot of time. As he stepped into his dorm, Squall glanced at the uniform he would have to use for the ball, the black and gold linings of the fancy suit were rather nice, yet something Squall wouldn’t use in a daily basis. The little flexibility it allowed would make it impossible for him to fight on it, so it certainly was only good for this one occasion. The young SeeD changed into his attire, taking a quick glance on the mirror, Squall nodded his head and walked out from his dorm, heading towards the Ball Room, where it would take place soon.

Riding the elevator up was quite daunting in the facr that Rinoa had never realy been apart of anything like this, taking a deep breath still with Angelo by her side Rinoa tried to relax herself. The elevator doors opened smoothly revealing the Headmasters office, seeing him brought a slight smile to the young mage's face. Obediant Angelo stayed just outside of the elevator as Rinoa walked over to Headmaster Cid, taking a seat Rinoa place her hands onto her legs. His voice was gentle and kind something which relaxed Rinoa even more, certain she had made the right decision to come here filled her with confidence. Clearing her throat the daughter of General Caraway began with her plan.
"Thank you Headmaster Cid, well umm I suppose I should start from the begining. You know about the situation in Galbadia with President Deling..now I have a plan to propose to you."
A hour or so later and Rinoa was in one of the empty dorm rooms, with Angelo sound asleep she slipped into her cream dress...the one for special occassion. It seemed to congratulate the newly appointed SeeDs a ball was being held for them, being invited by the Headmaster wasn't something you turn down. In fact Rinoa still needed to speak to him about the contract he had made, it was full of confusing jargon she didn't understand. Desperate to change it Rinoa decided to go to this ball in hope that she would catch Headmaster Cid, standing up from the bed she looked into the mirror. Smiling and happy at her appearance Rinoa left Angelo to rest, leaving the dorms she made her way to the ballroom which wasn't hard to find as she followed a group of SeeDs right in.
Azura smiled as he stoped as the blonde hair child spoke with his normal voice. *There are alot of reason's why i do what i do and none of them need to be spoken to you.* Azura grined as he continue steping closer and closer to the kid. Stoping just to the side of the kid Azura let out a grin as some dust swirled on his feet and he looked seifer right in the eye's speaking to the planet at the very same time. Azura eye's changeing every color known to man and then some.
Softly Azura turned his head back looking straight inside the building *he is here* Azura quickly took off his haste spell leaving a after image as Azura rushed inside the garden heading straight for the head master. W/C 136 Total 938

Little by little the ball room began to fill up, couples danced to the sound of the music played by the Garden’s committee and they seemed to be having rather a good amount of fun. Not every of them were SeeDs, students from every year and every class attended this ball, after all, it was a celebration for the few ones that passed the test, Squall, on the other hand, stood by the entrance to the room, his back pressed to the wall and leaning a bit backwards with his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes half closed as he looked around this room, he was that kind of person that never really likes to socialize with other people, if he had attended this party was because he didn’t want to deal with Seifer and the discipline committee. The young SeeD simply stood there, witnessing the couples and being rather…cold about actually participating on a dance like the one they were carrying.
“What is the big deal about dancing? I don’t see it…moving your body without any purpose but that of entertain…a waste of energy in my opinion” Squall thought to himself as he shook his head as people danced, he was the kind of guy that would only use energy to fight, to challenge another person in a way that they could figure out a winner and, well…he was not a very good dancer at all, that would be something that represented a challenge for him, one which he didn’t really felt like completing at all.
OOC: Azura just a little thing here. You'll notice on the Cetra race description it says "Cetrans can speak with the planet on occasions". Now. By on occassions. I mean, once or twice a thread. Not every other post. Just making sure you know.
Smack, right in the face as Azura ran into a fist. " No runnin in the corridors ya know?". The guy was large, muscular, tanned skin and with a martial arts look about him. Standing next to him was a silver haired girl with an eye patch. She was rather quiet till she raised her hand, and then sliced it through the air in front of her, spekaing a single word that seemed to resond her thoughts. " RULES". Raijin cracked his neck. " Don't recognise you ya know?....bad idea to have you running head first into the headmaster...someone might get the wrong idea ya know?".
Fuujin spoke up once more, repeating the hand gesture. " ASSASSIN". Raijin nodded. " Yeah...you'd be suprised how many enemies the headmaster has ya know?......it'd be stupid to have every stranger run in and just talk to him....gotta have an apointment ya know?......But by the looks of you you wanna get into seed". Fuujin once more repeated the hand gesture and said the word. " RECRUITER". Again Raijin expanded on it. " Yeah shes right, Headmaster don't deal with recruits personally until they pass the test ya know?.....you gotta deal with a recruiter....and they're all getting ready for the Seed Ball ya know?...We're in charge of security, and you arn't getting in ya know?.....best come back tommorow".
Choice Event [ Azura only] 1, Fight Fuujin and Raijin to gain access to Seed Ball ( Seifer may choose to join in this fight since he's part of the disiplinary committee) 2, Wait till tommorow.
[ Either choice will have no effect on the people going into, or already in the ballroom]
Azura let the let off a smile as his left hand was at his face cacthing the hand a hair's length from his face then taking a step back. his eyes narrowed on each hand gesture and each word spoken his body rigid almost like a statue. Then Azura lifted his eyes to them both as a more wicked smile spread to his face. *Fuujin and Raijin the pet's of Seifer the soon to be sorc knight.*
Shifting his body weight to his right leg. Azura hit the bottom of his weapon makeing it echo threw the garden almost like note from a hym. Azura let out a simple happy smile from the sound. then looked back at the two his body positioned to attack within a moment as he held his hand foward aimed at Raijin *poisen* Azura then spun his weapon's length easly able to reach both of them performing a perfect 30 strike aimed on there leg's
OOC:I can tell by the time this thread is done at this rate it'll be full of OOCs like this. First of all, since mine is an admin post. You don't get to dictate what does and doesn't happen. The fist hit you, you didn't catch it. Besides, even if mine wasn't an admin post, since it was longer than your post, the fist would have hit you regardless =/. So just keep that in mind. Second, it seems you ignored my point about the word occasion. I didn't expect you to use the talking to the planet ability again until a new thread. So from here on until this thread is over, you arn't able to use it. If I have to put actual numerical figures up to stop people from abusing it, I will. Finally. You CANNOT. Use that ability to meta game. The planet doesn't know everything, thus it wouldn't be able to tell what other characters will or will not do. You forget this isn't Canon. In this Seifer could finally pass the Seed exam. Since this is your first actual warning on this I'll let it go. But next time. I'll be deducting EXP.
An actual warning about tardiness on the Ball dance was issued; it seemed that the discipline committee would have its hands full with those lazy persons who dared to arrive at a late admittance time. To be honest, Seifer enjoyed being part of this committee, it let him do what he liked the most, and that was teach trash a lesson or two with his comrades, Fuujin and Raijin. Seifer and his group were headed towards the ball room, when he noticed Cid coming down the elevator and that kid that had followed him running towards him, it looked like Raijin and Fuujin reacted faster, or it might have just been that he didn’t want to waste his time with such an opponent. In any case, the blonde knight simply walked over towards where his companions where, calmly, silently, just the kind of walk you would expect from Seifer, yet, always wielding that proud smirk that you would always see on him, he stood in between Raijin and Fuujin, obviously assuming the “leader” position and then looking over at Azura.
“Yeah, besides, you shouldn’t be heading towards him at all, the Ball Room isn’t in that direction and you don’t really have much time, unless, you actually want a punishment from our part” Seifer’s grin grew wider, as if he was actually making fun of the guy, he might not be a normal human, but if something characterized Seifer, was his lack of fear to the unknown.
Clash, the sound of metal could be heard across the halls, Azura’s scythe smashed against Seifer’s Gunblade, though barely even made his body flinch, with a strong will, Seifer pushed Azura’s scythe away and got in position to start a fight, though he knew fighting inside Balamb Garden wasn’t really the best given his position, he smirked and glanced at Fuujin and Raijin then.
“You trash, attacking Raijin and Fuujin….guys, leave him to me…I doubt he can even put a scratch on my jacket…or maybe…you want to think it twice before making your next move” Seifer smirked and looked at Azura, he wasn’t really willing to fight, but given the conditions of the situation, it might have been the only option he had.
“So…what will it be…trash, fight me…or save your attacks for someone you can actually defeat and attend the ball?”

It had been nicely decorated for the SeeD ball, quite elegant actually as though it were from a fairytale ball. Brushing a few strands of her black hair aside Rinoa soon found herself talking to a few faces she recognised, time seemed to pass so quickly for the young mage as she conversed with the newly appointed SeeDs. The music played delightfully to her ears bringing a smile to her face, not only was the night perfect but she had also managed to secure SeeD help for her cause. Though Rinoa still needed to find Headmaster Cid she was sure she would catch him here, as Rinoa began to explain about Galbadia more and more a figure caught her gaze. Looking more closely she recognised it to be that student from earlier this morning, keeping her eyes on him she placed a finger up to the others excusing herself from the conversation. Flattening down her cream dress Rinoa casually made her way over to the young man, her heels clicking against the parquet floor as she walked. With her hands behind her back she walked up to him looking into his eyes, from his expression the new SeeD didn't appear to want to be here. Not being one to stand by and watch Rinoa let herself start the conversation off.
"You're the best looking guy here. Dance with me? Let me guess...You'll only dance with someone you like. Ok then...Look into my eyes...You're-going-to-like-me...You're-going-to-like-me...Did it work?"
Twirling her hand in the air to try and hypnotise him Rinoa found herself smiling as she spoke, at the back of her mind she could tell that he would be a hard nut to crack.

Gazing around and counting the minutes until this dance was over, Squall let out a small, silent sigh, his arms were crossed over his chest as his head hung down, looking at the ground in a way to let himself fall asleep, his eyelids closed over his sockets as he took a deep breath, just resting against the wall that stood behind him.
“You’re the best looking guy here…”
He heard her voice and was rather confused, was she talking to him? He raised his head and opened his eyes, noticing that it was the girl from before, who had probably spoken to Headmaster Cid a few minutes ago. He stared at her, wondering why she had come to speak to him and what her real intentions were. Dance? Squall opened his mouth to let out a gasp, he couldn’t dance even if his life depend on it, he had never really tried and, to be honest, he wasn’t interested at all on it, without emitting any sound, he shook his head politely declining her invitation, though she then began to say the rest of her…err…”hypnotizing”, he didn’t actually know what she was trying to do, but it was rather amusing.
“Heh…” he said in a small whisper as the girl began to twirl her hand in the air in an even harder attempt to get him hypnotized, Squall didn’t flinch and shook his head once more, keeping his arms crossed over his chest as he looked at the girl on the cream dress, she might have been way too cheery for a guy like Squall, one which he might have found annoying.

His response was not one Rinoa didn't expect, she did kind of expected a few more words to pop out of his mouth though at least. Pulling an almost spoilt child look Rinoa glanced around the ballroom once more to see if Cid had arrived, no such luck though. Sighing quietly she looked back to him and decided to take matters into her own hands, a slight smile formed on her face as she looked back to the new SeeD recruit. Almost lunging herself forward Rinoa grabbed hold of his wrist and began to quickly drag him onto the dance floor.
"You'll be fine. Come on. I'm looking for someone. I can't be on the dance floor alone." The music played in the background to her delight, swinging around Rinoa accordingly placed the young male's hands on her waist and into her own hand. Placing her other hand on his shoulder she began to lead him in the dance, he was quite stiff and not very agile with this making it harder for her. He caused them to bump into people push into other's dances, which of course Rinoa stuck her tongue out at a couple who looked at them. Though near the end of it he seemed to have gotten the hang of it, his whole body relaxed and he moved to the beat of the music. Almost pressed up against him Rinoa and watched him as he looked up into the sky at the fireworks, glancing to the side she saw Cid appear. Tapping him she smiled before walking over to the headmaster, this contract needed to be sorted before she left in the morning.

A kid? No, Squall was much worse, it seemed he had never even heard music before or followed the rhythm of a tune. Even though his body was extremely agile, strong and swift in battle, this dancing stuff was obviously not his thing, his body barely moved and he stepped a bit upon Rinoa’s feet at times. It was rather embarrassing to not be able to hold such a rhythm with her, his cheeks fluttered some, showing as hard to believe at it was, some emotion. He wasn’t getting it at all, bumping against her as they tried a spin and then bumping onto other couples, at which the cream dressed girl stuck out her tongue.
“This is too embarrassing…” Squall thought as he turned around and tried to leave the dance floor, though Rinoa was quick to grab his hand and pull him back onto the position to dance, somehow, his body relaxed and the stiffness disappear, step, step and turn, the dance began to turn into a rather easy movement of his body, spin, Rinoa turned and Squall pulled, it was going rather smoothly and the tune was actually starting to get to the young SeeD recruit, his eyes gazed upon the girl he was dancing with, she intrigued him, the dance was getting to the end and with a last spin the bodies of Squall and Rinoa ended close together, the lights dimmed and fireworks began to be fired onto the starry sky, Squall’s brown orbs looked up, amazed,, though he then glanced at Rinoa, who was this girl?
She tapped his shoulder and left, probably to fix matters with Headmaster Cid, Squall stayed on the dance floor, watching her leave, this girl had certainly messed with his mind at least for tonight, she had made him do something he would have never done, dance, an expression of emotions and feelings that Squall normally didn’t shared.

After the girl left, the ball slowly began to clean itself up. People began to leave. As Squall left he was stopped outside by one of the other members of Seed. They brought him to the office of the headmaster. There already were Zell and Selphie.The headmaster coughed and waved a document, placing it down on his desk and then walking towards the group.
" Tonight we've made a deal with a resistance group in Timber known as the Timber Owls....Seed are to be dispatched and used to aid them in their causes.....this is the first mission for the three of you....Squall you are to lead the group.....there will be a train in Balamb town in the morning to take you right to Timber.....I except only the best of you, make the garden proud".
