I-Ikitakunai~... [Open]

[Yuki Aoi]

There she was, at last. Before the grand school of the very best Weapons and Meisters the world has to offer. DWMA. And Yuki had finally arrived there.

The small, delicate looking child who was much older than she looks had just arrived less than a week before, giving her enough time to settle in her new home bought by her family. She was ready after just one day of preparing, though there was one thing preventing her from leaving house so soon.

She was scared of Death City.

Everything looked so freaky! Some houses were deformed, people were loud, there were even fights breaking out here and there! It was a wonder how Yuki even was able to find her house to hide there in the first place. It took a few days of serious mental preparation for the shy girl to psych up, work up enough bravery to leave her house and go to school.

One of the early attempts resulted in failure rather early. As soon as she opened the door to her house, a stranded couple who happened to be walking by noticed the opening door and stared at the blond doll girl. She immediately slammed the door closed (with the little strength she had) in embarrassment.

On the second try, Yuki was smarter than that. She thought that, maybe, if she left early in the morning, like 5 or 6AM, she probably wouldn't meet many people. That plan (if you could call it that) actually worked and the Demon Longsword managed to make her way to DWMA without meeting a single soul except the creepy sun drowsily laying about in the sky.

Everything seemed to be going well until Yuki actually arrived at DWMA. When she finally laid eyes on it, she came to realize the school itself was one of the scariest buildings in the city! How didn't she see it on top of the huge staircase that lead to it? Probably more worried about watching out for people around her rather than the city itself when she made her way to DWMA.

Too frightened to even move, Yuki simply crouched behind the tops steps of the staircase, peeking her little blond head and staring at the school, still in fear of going inside it. Despite all that, Yuki still bothered to dress up nicely, as always. Still, she was so frightened, she didn't even notice anything around her. Shaking slightly on her spot, Yuki muttered something every once in a while.

"I-Ikitakunai~..."

[Phoebe Knight]

Phoebe sighed. She had no use for her alarm clock, she always woke up before it. But here she is, the same routine. Waking up before it, crouch on your bed and keep your hand nearby only to pounce on it when it starts ringing. Why she kept it, no one knows. Not even Phoebe. Nearly fifteen minutes later Phoebe was dressed and ready to be out and about. Her room had a window about as big as the wall, and it was always nice watching the sun rise or set. Her apartment was nicer than others; it's on one of the top floors, and their place has two stories. It was quite nice, plus being able to see the whole city was magnificent. She remembered the most important thing she had to do today; talk to Death himself. She needed to settle things out about her not being a real witch. Since it was so early, maybe she could fly today. And it wouldn't be suspicious since most birds fly early in the morning. Phoebe concentrated, and in a few seconds flat she transformed into a white dove.

Flapping her wings and taking off, Phoebe soared through Death City. It felt wonderful to feel the sharp wind hit her face. It's been so long since she flew, Pheo took it to her advantage. After feeling tired from flying, Phoebe perched at the beginning of the court yard. She swiftly changed back into a human, only a small flash of light appeared. Her hair was a bit ruffled, but she could fix that easily. She gazed at the giant school. It was intimidating, with skulls that looked quite comical, it was still creepy for her. She took a shaky breath in, and letting out a small exhale. She could do this. Lord Death, despite the name, isn't scary at all. Well, at least that's what her father told her. Her father wasn't afraid of spiders, and just the sight of the bug makes Phoebe shriek. But she could do this. She had to show everyone that she was strong.

[Yuki Aoi]

How could she possibly go in that place? It has giant skulls and giant candles that don't seem to drop wax for some reason and giant red spikes and giant everything! It was far too big for a timid little person like Yuki.

Of course she was afraid of entering. She was already considering leaving and trying again another day when a little bird flying right before her caught her eye. Distracted with the pretty birdie, Yuki watched it land on the stone ground of the courtyard and beginning to shine.

Wait, shine? That doesn't sound right...

Yuki's big blue eyes widened even more as she witnessed the tiny little bird shine and transform into a girl right before here eyes. "Kyaaa!!" The shy weapon cried out loud as she fell on her behind, almost rolling down the stairs. Once again frightened by the huge scare that was almost falling off the stairs, Yuki jumped up and ran forward.

Using her short legs, the timid doll girl leaped and grabbed unto the closest object to her without even noticing what it was. And that was Phoebe. Shaking and sobbing, Yuki clung to the magical bird's body, burying her face deep in her clothing.
