tune

Sage's music drowned out everything. Lifting her picture the sun hit it perfectly, it still looked awful, but Sage was proud of it. "Beautiful." She said softly so she didn't shout.

Azalea lounged on two chairs and had her back up against the side of the bus, her arms were slightly magnetic which kept getting stuck to the walls so she determined a change of position was for the best. She took out her phone and put her earbuds in and clicked on a YouTube video to watch.

((ooh, that last one sounds fun

Arabella went up to the headmistress "when will we stop? I need to stretch my legs." She explained. The lady smiled and pointed "we could stop now, there is a gas bar here." She said and went to tell the driver. A few seconds later, the bus stopped at the gas bar and she ran out, stretching her legs.

((quick q, uh, what exactly is a gas bar? is it like a gas station?

Phoenix never understood the idea of 'stretching your legs' she always had 'stretch her wings'. She slowly made her way to the front before fluttering off and hovering letting her wings stretch out and use those muscles again.

Rio looked up when the bus stopped. Yawning he took the chance to stretch his legs. Getting up he quickly stepped off the bus, stretching as he did so.

Ziva climbed off of the bus, excited to look around at where they had stopped, and to get some fresh air. Buses were a bit cramped for her, and the leather always smelled funny.

(Gas bar in my mind is a gas station with a large convenience store.)

Arabella walked into the store and looked around for some proper food. She walked to the back where there were sandwiches and other similar items.

Unbeknownst to the students, a male Sigil was watching them. Once the got off the bus, he waved two fingers and melted into the shadows, appearing ner the bus, hidden in the shadows of a nearby tree.

((oh, so like one of those fancier gas stations okay
Ziva leaned against the bus to watch the others, scanning over the surrounding area. Such a boring trip. Travelling is supposed to be fun, and filled with excitement!

(Yeah lol)

Through the silent day, a sharp whistle was heard and black figures emerged from seemingly nowhere. The male Sigil smiled, white teeth shining.

Arabella heard the whistle as she was emerging from the store, bag filled with food. She saw a few figures and attempted to hide behind a garbage can. But right before she moved she heard a voice "I wouldn't do that if I were you love." A male voice spoke. She looked back to see a glint of silver and gulped

Ziva blinked, looking around, one hand going for her bag as she watched the figures appear. There we go. She grinned.

Rio instantly tensed when he saw the figures appear, what the heck??

"Now, I need all you pretty things to gather in a circle, and hand over all your valuable skills." He said, an accent visibly heard. Arabella stopped "you are Silver Jacks. You steal the abilities of people to give to Voids for a high price!" She said, eyes wide. The male smirked "well, the lass knows her history." He came forward and waved a hand in front of his face and the shadows disappeared "Xavier Joyce at your service."

Rio glared at the men, but kept his distance, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"My most valuable skill is my undeniable charm and loveable disposition. You takin' that too?" Ziva had on a cheeky smile, slipping her hand into her bag as she willingly went to stand in the circle. Patience yields focus.

Rio carefully unscrewed his waterbottle ever so slightly, just enough for him to pull water through it, and onto the outside of it.

Arabella smirked "the lass also has skills." She said and crossed her arms, walking toward Xavier

Rio watched her, mentally prepping to back her up. Feeling droplets of water come up to his hands, he prepped for defense.

Arabella lifted her hand and swirled it around, a small luminescent silver ball forming.

Ziva's form rippled, then suddenly she was gone, and one of the men hit the ground.

A groaning sound was heard from Xaviers left side. Upon looking there, he saw that one of his men was laying on the ground, clutching his arm

Rio took that chance to charge the guy, water welling up in a whip as he went for Xavier. The whip swept around Xavier, pulling his legs tight, as Rio pushed him over, dancing out of reach of the other men.
