[OPEN] The Dangerous Reward [EVENT]

Xenia Asgonne
~~~<p>

Xenia glanced down at the paper in her hand. This is was definitely the place. The Power Classes were supposedly held in the room right in front of her. She stared down the big wooden oak doors, hoping for a moment that they'd turn into her dorm room doors so she didn't have to go to class. Sighing, she pushed open the huge doors in front of her and took her first look at the big room.<p>

It was exactly as she'd feared. It was too small. The room was plenty large- enough for about ten students that were working on their respective powers, most of them accompanied by a professor. She looked down at the paper for the thousandth time, squinting at the small type at the top of the page. Xenia Asgonne- Power, Speed. They clearly hadn't messed up, but how was she supposed to run in here? She could make a lap around the room in a a nanosecond if she had to. This was really no place for her to be training. <p>

She sighed in relief and stuffed the paper into her pocket, crumpling it. She had no business to be here! She could go back to her dorm after all, or maybe grab a soda. There was no way for her to get in trouble for ditching class. There was no way she could practice. Then, suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a flash of colour. She turned back around and looked in the direction of the colour. <p>

Way across the area, stuffed in the corner of the farthest inch of the room, there was something that looked like tiny eggs. Xenia reached back into her pocket and shuffled her hand around, finally pulling out a small flyer while her more important papers fluttered to the ground. The Great Easter Egg Hunt- student with the most eggs by the end of the week wins., read the flyer. There had to be at least four eggs over there, how had no one seen them before?<p>

She took one step forward to go collect the eggs, and then remembered where she was. At least ten students and mentors were blocking her path to the eggs. They were all doing something dangerous, whether breathing fire or smashing into huge test dummies, there wasn't any room to walk without being in the danger zone.<p>

Xenia sighed, stuffing the flyer back into her pocket, her schedule forgotten on the floor. It was going to take more effort than she had wanted to expend, but she was going to have those eggs for her own.

Xenia Asgonne

Xenia was startled when she heard a voice from beside her. She had been so focused on the eggs that she hadn't heard him enter the room. She looked down at his hands and saw her schedule. When had that fallen out of her pocket? She nodded in thanks to him and pocketed the papers again, this time, making sure to fold them once or twice so they'd be less likely to fall out. Then, she heard him speak again.

"Easter Egg hunt huh... This school is full of surprises."

He must have seen! He must know! She narrowed her eyes and shot a sharp glace across the room again, checking to see if the eggs were still there. They were, of course. Everyone else seemed to be too focused on their lesson to notice the eggs, which Xenia found hilarious. How could anybody be more focused on school work than chocolate?

However, that was not the issue at hand. This boy had just walked up to her, taken her schedule, read her name, and was now about to steal her eggs! There was no way she could allow this. She contemplated just using her speed to jolt across that room as fast as she could and snatching the eggs up, but there was no doubt she be hit by some kind of wild attack. And even if she wasn't, the only way out of the room that she could see was the door, which the boy was completely blocking.

She would have to be smarter with her plan of attack. She would have to play mind game! Win over the competition with pure spirit! Unfortunately, she had absolutely no people skills and not the slightest clue how to play mind games. She thought she might try reverse psychology.

"Yeah," she said. "Who cares about that dumb Easter Egg hunt anyway."

Xenia Asgonne

Xenia stood dumbfounded as she watched her nemesis hop out the window, zoom around the building and come out on the other end. He smoothly bent over and grabbed the eggs. He had ignored her completely and stolen her prize! She felt her rage build up inside her and she shouted as loudly as she could across the room

"EXCUSE YOU, MISTER! I SAW THEM FIRST!!"

She suddenly became aware that everyone in the room had stopped and was staring at her, the man, and back at her again. A few of them seemed to be complaining about the eggs he had found, and how they should have noticed the eggs first, but most of them just stared blankly at Xenia. She felt her face heat up and took the opportunity to run across the room as slowly as she possibly could, hoping that it looked like a normal person's running speed. She didn't need to attract any more attention than was already on her.

By the time she reached the other side of the room, most of the students had already re-assumed their training, and Xenia to whisper angrily at the egg thief.

"You give those to me right now!" she whispered quickly at him. " You know I saw those first and you took them anyway!

Xenia Asgonne

Xenia's rage was cut short by the boy's sudden proposition. She was shocked, to say the least. She wanted the eggs, of course, but was it worth it? She's have to SEE this egg thief again. He seemed so smooth about it too, smirking at her like he had been in control of the conversation the whole time. He didn't even know anything about her! Well, besides her name, her power, and whatever else had been listed on her schedule. It was more her that she knew nothing about him.

"How dare you!" She crossed her arms. "How can you even ask a lady out on a date without even introducing yourself!"

Was it a date? Did she even want to go out on a date? Well, she should be focusing on making friends. She had to meet some of the people here eventually. This boy seemed to be rather smart, and he definitely had an aura of confidence about him. But still, she couldn't believe this Egg Thief had just waltzed right into the room, ignored her (admittedly feeble) mind games, and walked circles around her in a competition she hadn't known existed until a few minutes ago.

She continued to peek at him out of the corner of her eye as she waited for a reply. She would at least consider his crazy proposition, she decided.

Xenia Asgonne

Xenia blushed. She was rather taken aback by the offer that the Egg Thief, or - Tellios - had made. It wasn't really a date he was talking about, he just wanted to be her friend. That she could do. She wanted to make friends anyway. Hopefully powerful ones to protect her in case something bad happened, or ones with working video game consoles that she could leech off of, but friends nonetheless.

Besides, going out somewhere sounded nice. She had already decided long ago to skip her class, and she hadn't really visited much of the island yet since her arrival. She could see the town from her window in her dorm, and it looked rather nice. Maybe if she could manage to communicate this to her new friend, he'd still be willing to go out for a drink some time. She unfolded her arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, ah, yeah. Maybe we could go do something together." She desperately tried to rummage through all of her useless thoughts and say the right thing. She was never much good at making friends. "I don't know if you've been to town much yet, but I know I haven't. I hear there's a cafe not to far from the town that people have been talking about, if you want to grab a bite to eat. I know you're allergic to chocolate, but, I'm sure they have some other stuff to eat, if you're interested."
