Welcome to Beacon: Next (RP Thread)

"I-I can show everyone the f-finished version of my song w-when I complete it later, i-if you all want...", Iris said to everyone near her, "I-I just need to add m-more instruments and finish the m-main melody..."

She was surprised that they weren't mocking her over her little slip up with the headphones.

...Okay, I guess she hasn't gotten any sleep. Or not good with mornings...?

"Um, h-how about some b-breakfast, Miss D-Dian? That might m-make you feel a bit better." He smiled nervously, motioning to a plate of pancakes and nodding in response to Iris. "S-Sure. If it's pretty g-good now, I'm sure it'll be a-amazing when it's done."

Yan sat down at the table. He felt flattered, even though he wanted to feel embarrassed.

"Thanks, everyone," he said, fidgeting with his skirt in his lap, "I don't look bad in this, really. And it does kind of look like cosplay." He chuckled.

Maybe I won't get changed so soon, he thought.

He perked up suddenly. "I smell tea."

Maren shrugs, "I'll be honest, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out. Though, to be fair, I don't really pay much attention to who's a guy and who's a girl."

Dian staggere over to the sink, waiting until the water was ice cold before shoving her head under the stream for a good minute, she stepped back. "Be warned, Quartz's herb is insane."

If James was an anime or a cartoon character, a large question mark would've appeared over his head. But the fact he looked puzzled on what Dian meant was clear enough.

"Y-You mean like, u-um, a medical h-herb? Something y-you put on food?"

"Pipeweed, Spirit herb?" Dian asked, staring at James.

Suzune looked at Dian and James with a sigh, "I wish I could get intoxicated, what is it like?"

"N-Never r-really heard of that s-sort of thing, t-to be honest, r-really. ...S-Sorry.

Blushing and glancing away to avoid Dian's stare, the human fidgeted and shrugged at the Gynoid.

"I-I wouldn't r-really know. M-Miss Dian w-would probably b-be able to, um, t-tell you though. M-Maybe."

Dian sighed, "It's not intoxication, it's using the fruits of Mother Earth to further one's spiritual journey, alcohol is fun, but tha Hangover isn't always fun."

"There is a difffrence? ,the gynoid quries, "I had always assumed the later was some kind of organic speak for "I am as high as a kite"

"Not so," Dian said, sitting on a table.

Kitchen

"Can you explain the diffrence?" ,the gynoid asked with genuine curiosity.

"Being high is simply wasting yourself with synthetic substances. What I do is use it to further my understanding by use of natural herbs."

Meanwhile, Quartz was sitting nearby, looking out the window momentarily before getting back to work, carving out a small block of wood, not particularly paying attention to things around him. That is, until Dian stumbled in, his tail slightly twitching as he looked up from his work.

Oh dear, he thought to himself, that was a bad idea.

Glancing at the conversation out of the corner of his eye as he finished mixing up the contents of his flasks, James smiled and put everything back into his backpack and glanced at Quartz.

"I-Is something u-up? I mean, u-um, is s-something on your m-mind...?"

Diana frowned at Selene's words. "I...I...what do you mean? What could be his problem? He seems like a good man."

She looked up at James and blushed again. "....Ummm....we...we're not fighting. It...um...we...we do this...this...is umm, normal for the two of us."

Chris smirked at Raggy. "Soon, my rival. Soon."

"Fat chance." snarled Lena.

Chris then turned back to look at his sister. He had that look on his face again. That one that said he was going to tease her.

"Those are your plushies, dear sister of mine. Our mother seems to be of the opinion you can't sleep without them."

"AAAAAH!"

Morgan quickly closed the box, her face red from embarrassment.

"Bro, why did you do this in front of my classmates?!?"

"Oh, hm, am fine, really, just had look of like Dian had trouble for moment here." Quartz replied, nodding, before noticing Diana.

"Hey, not saw you there." He said with a smile.

Iris then walked over to her partner, and saw that Morgan had just taken a few stuffed animals out of a box. "Y-you still sleep with plushes?", she asked with cheerful curiosity. "R-reminds me of this little b-bunny plush I had when I w-was a little girl...I called it Usagi..."

Chris shrugged, grinning. "Oh, dear sister, I merely stated facts!"

He was definitely trying not to laugh. That jerk.

Lena snorted. "It's really not something to be embarassed about. You guys all saw my plushie."

Diana shyly looks at Quartz. "Yes. Well, hi. My name is Diana. I'm Selene's twin sister."

"Oh, okay, I Quartz, also!" Quartz replied with a grin before continuing.

"And, hm, I not think I had talk with Selene, in actual..."

"He didn't need to tell everyone about them, though!" Morgan countered, still red in the face.

"I-it's not that bad, Morgan...i-is it?", Iris asked.

Diana nodded. "Well, um, nice to meet you. And I'm sure there will be plenty of time to talk."

Lena shrugged. "I think you're overreacting."

Chris was definitely laughing now. "Oh, Morgan. No need to hide a part of yourself! Honesty is the best policy!"
