Re: Floor 3, Room 2 ((open))
Ryoko was more bad at herself for not being about to control both her words and her emotions. She couldn't believe that she just went and told people something like that about herself. Am I crazy? I'm trying to make friends, not scare them away with stupid things I did. Ryoko thought. She heard footsteps from floor three and quickly wiped her eyes, not like it would really stop the tears.

She looked up to see Hawthorne had followed her, probably before Jun even had a chance to do anything. Ryoko figured she had better think of a way to cover for this, even though it was obvious why she was upset. " Sorry I ju-" Ryoko began, but the embrace from her friend caught the red eyed girl speechless. Her mind was clouded with confusion, what was going on? Ryoko had to get out of this situation fast.

However she found that she couldn't. She couldn't bring herself to get up and move, she didn't really want to. It had been a long time since anyone had ever hugged Ryoko for a reason. It had also been a long time since she cried, eight years was the last time she remembered crying, after her mothers death. But her father didn't shed a single tear, and he merely called Ryoko weak for doing so. Which was why she had been forced to control her emotions.

Ryoko soon forgot about needing to get out of the situation. Hawthorne of all people wouldn't call her weak, at least thats what she hoped. The tears began to flow again for Ryoko. " He was just..." She began through the tears, but found that she was unable to finish her sentence. Then shortly after she felt another arm. She knew who it was right away.

"I am sorry, I will leave now if you want."

Ryoko regretted going off at him. She knew he didn't mean what he said that way, but with the way Hawthorne reacted she couldn't help but take what he said differently. Letting go of her legs, Ryoko brought one arm up and rested it on Jun's. She couldn't really say much at the time. " It's not your fault." Ryoko said quickly, since it was the only way she could get anything out.

Lowering her head once more, Ryoko felt so weak in the situation. " I'm just weak, that's all." She added, speaking quieter than before. She didn't want either of them to know she admitted to it.

*He smiled and hugged them both tightly for a second then let go. He moved around them and sat down on the steps below them, looking up. He wore a soft smile, that she he understood what they felt, and yet he could not join them. He reached up and brushed both girls cheeks lightly. He smiled just slightly more at the act. He used his thumb to wipe the tears from their eyes, that were with in reach.*

"It is not weak to cry. It is not a sign of weakness nor is it the weakness in which people can take advantage. Crying is only the symbol of the feelings one hides in the heart and inside. Crying is a good thing."

*He gently pulled his hands back from them and nodded slightly. He did not know what to do honestly. He could not ask them to stop, nor could he ask them to forget what he had said. The only thing he really could do was, let them have their time. His next words were deathly quiet, since he meant only for him self to hear.*

"I wish I could cry."

We live so that way the energy of life can continue to use us to as carriers in the world. Each and ever person effects the flow of life energy in the world. If one person was removed, the flow would be altered and everyone in the world is effected even if only on the most basic level. Life is very nice that way. But there are some people out there who have bad chi or life flow and effect everyone in a bad way. They are the ones that need to be removed. When the balance between good and bad chi is upset nature changes. If it shifts to the good side, nature will grew and become stronger. The world becomes more pure and more close to natural. If it shifts to bad, the nature around us starts to die. It can cause the nature around us to rear up and attack us with storms and earthquakes.

Re: Floor 3, Room 2 ((open))

Hawthorne knew how good it felt just to be held when you were upset, when you were embarassed, when you were lonely. After all, wasn't that how Drewe had first won her over? With his understanding and compassion? But, unlike him, hers for Ryoko would never fade. The girl needed someone to be there for her, and Thorne wanted a friend she could trust with her most intimate secrets. The thief-girl seemed like the one.

It was good to see someone else expressing emotion. It seemed for a time that Thorny was the only one who couldn't keep it all inside, but with her being the only one freaking out, she was far too afraid to confess what was really going on. She shed a tear alongside Ryoko, for both of their pain.

" He was just..."

"It's okay, Koko, take all the time you need. I'll be here, waiting when you're done."

" It's not your fault."
" I'm just weak, that's all."

"Your not weak, Ryoko. You are far stronger than I am. How long have you held all this inside? I could never do that. As soon as something bothers me I lose my grip on reality. That is weakness."

Jun-Bo hugged them and then sat at their feet, looking up. He had what Hawthorne was beginning to think of as his preaching face on, and she knew he was about to give away something major about himself, that he had learned over the years.

"It is not weak to cry. It is not a sign of weakness nor is it the weakness in which people can take advantage. Crying is only the symbol of the feelings one hides in the heart and inside. Crying is a good thing."

Crying was a good thing, it cleansed the soul of everything bad, and made one feel new and fresh. Haw always felt much better after a good cry. She was sure that Ryoko would to. What Jun-Bo said next, though, startled her. She wasn't even sure that she heard it.

"I wish I could cry."

"Anyone can cry, Jun-Bo. All you have to do is let go of some of those controls you keep up all the time. Maybe you think nobody notices, but you hold yourself so far up above us all, that you can't see what's really happening around you. Perhaps if you tried, you'd realise why what you say and do effects everyone so strongly. Perhaps that's the main problem in your communications with others, thngs get misconstrued because you only connect on the most shallow level, never with any real emotion."

That was a pretty telling statement on her own behalf, andreally the source of her frustration with Jun-Bo. He didn't understand because he didn't let people in. How do you confide in someone whom you barely know more than the surface of?

"Your not weak, Ryoko. You are far stronger than I am. How long have you held all this inside? I could never do that. As soon as something bothers me I lose my grip on reality. That is weakness."

At this point, Ryoko's tears had started to disappear. At least now she could get words out properly. " It's been a year." She said. When thinking about it, Ryoko realised that it would be easier for he to show emotions here, away from her father. He, after all, was the one who always stopped her from showing anything remotely close to sadness.

"It is not weak to cry. It is not a sign of weakness nor is it the weakness in which people can take advantage. Crying is only the symbol of the feelings one hides in the heart and inside. Crying is a good thing."

Ryoko shook her head. She didn't really believe what he said. She had her own opinions on the whole thing, but it was worthwhile to debate if they were her opinions or her fathers. " Crying is stupid. It doesn't accomplish anything but waist time. It's not worth the effort it takes to make it happen. Crying is useless, it's just pointless." Ryoko said. With the way she spoke about it, people who had never met her father would still be able to guess that it was now how she felt.

*He looked to them and smiled lightly. He listened to their words and wondered over wither or not they held substance. He did know that he often keep him self apart from others, more because of the fact that he had been alive for so long that he often would forget that some people needed closeness of a person and to feel that they knew everything about you to feel close to you.*

"It is correct that I some time view things differently then then other people do, but that is normally, because I see things as past experiences as well as new ones at the same time. So I tend to expect some things more easily then others do.

Though as far as me being able to cry, I guess in a way I could if I ever got enough emoutions stored up to force the body to release the water. But I do not like to store up negative feelings to the point where I am anywhere near crying, as such I am unable to."

*He then heard Ryoko, talk about crying being bad and stupid. He tilted his head and wondered if she had been raised like that or if she had come to that conculision on her own.*

"I would care to argue differently. I find crying to be useful in allowing the bodies emoutions and horomones to calm them selves and go back to normal. After you have cried you feel refreshed, because you body was flooded with the horomones it needed to clear the veins and organs of toxisons and poisons."

Re: Floor 3, Room 2 ((open))

Hawthorne didn't want to talk about crying anymore. It was depressing her, and if they kept it up, she would start crying. She looked back and forth between the guy she kinda liked and her best friend at MHS.

"Look guys, everyone deals with emotions differently. In the end, we all work it out so that it is what's best for us. Don't stress about it. If anyone knows about crying its me. But let's talk about something a little more uplifting, eh?"

Hawthorne gave Ryoko another quick embrace, and stood up, holding her hands out to the other girl.

"Why don't we head back to my room and search through our closets for sommat to where to this symphony, eh?"

Ryoko looked up at him after he finished talking, and she looked at him coldly. She didn't think he would have an opinion about something he couldn't do. And for him to question her father's way of looking at things brought up the same anger he would show to her if she ever questioned him. " That's a bit weird Jun-Bo," Ryoko began. Her voice was calm, yet it had a slight irritated tone to it.

" Someone like you, who can't cry as you say, having such an opinion on the matter? It's not like I asked for it anyway. You should learn to keep things to yourself. Bad things tend to come your way when you don't." She added. After recieving the quick embrace from Hawthorne, Ryoko shrugged as she got to her feet. She looked down at him.

" Might want to learn that." Ryoko added, now talking in her normal voice again. High emotional situations always brought out weird things about Ryoko. She didn't usually speak in the same way her father would, and it puzzled her a little as to why it would now.

"Why don't we head back to my room and search through our closets for sommat to where to this symphony, eh?"

Ryoko looked to Hawthorne and nodded. She started to walk away but stopped and looked back over at Jun-Bo. He may have taken what she said the wrong way, he might have thought she was mad at him. " Uh... sorry." She said quickly, " Sometimes I say stuff and I don't mean it."

With her eyes now on the ground, Ryoko spoke again. " He's in my head, y'know? After all those years my father's voice is stuck in my head. I guess I can't shake it." She added. After a small pause, Ryoko continued. " I'm sorry, I should be the one who watches what I say..."

*He looked to the both of the ladies as they seemed to not take kindly to his words. Each one had their own way to deal with things, this was true enough. He smiled and nodded to the both. He did not show even the slightest bit of anger or being hurt by her words. It fact he just plainly smiled slightly as she did. He found in sitituations where people tried to get a rise out of him, he just keep his mask in place and let them see nothing.*

"True enough."

*They talked about going back to the room. He thought about it and figured it was nothing big for him to be there. Then Ryoko turned to him and said she was sorry. He smiled warmly then and shrugged. He knew what she meant.*

"Don't worry about it. I did not take your words harshly or wrongly."

*He had in reality, taken it to heart what she said, what they both said and he went quiet there for a moment with a thoughtfull look on his face. It was odd for him to get lost in thought in the middle of something.*

"Well I guess this is when I am supossed to leave, so take care you two."

*He turned and started walking off. He did not wait for them to say anything about him leaving. He had said enough things at this time, that he figured the leather of his shoes was tasting bad enough, he did not need to learn what the sock around his ankle tasted like as well. He raised his hand and waved over his shoulder as he started towards the stairs downwards. He wanted to go clear his head.*

Re: Floor 3, Room 2 ((open))

Thorny wasn't sure why Ryoko was being so cold to Jun-Bo. Sure the guy was practically choking on his own foot, but the tough girl usually cut him a lot more slack than this. He must have really touched a nerve there.

" That's a bit weird Jun-Bo,"
" Someone like you, who can't cry as you say, having such an opinion on the matter? It's not like I asked for it anyway. You should learn to keep things to yourself. Bad things tend to come your way when you don't."
"True enough."

Ouch. The girl with the piercings cringed a little at her friend's harsh tone. Perhaps Hawthorne just shouldn't speak anymore, it seemed like all she did these days was cause trouble. The teen hated drama though, so perhaps silence would help avoid it. Still, Jun seemed to be taking it all right.

Still, the thief got to her feet, and Thorne breathed a sigh of relief. The scene was almost over, which meant that everything could return to normal now. Hopefully.

" Might want to learn that."

It sounded like Ryoko was coming back to normal, and Haw breathed a huge sigh of relief. They'd head back to her room, and all the drama would just fade away, theoretically. Perhaps everything would be right as rain when they got to the symphony.

" Uh... sorry."
" Sometimes I say stuff and I don't mean it."

Well . . . that was a complete 180. Apparently her bestest friend there was an emotional roller-coaster type girl. Hawty made a mental note of that so as not to get too shaken when things happened.

" He's in my head, y'know? After all those years my father's voice is stuck in my head. I guess I can't shake it."
" I'm sorry, I should be the one who watches what I say..."
"Don't worry about it. I did not take your words harshly or wrongly."

"Well . . . now that that's all taken care of . . . perhaps we should really consider my suggestion of vacating the hallway? Tempers seem to be a little up there right now, and I don't want us all to be cranky for this symphony thingy."

"Well I guess this is when I am supossed to leave, so take care you two."
