Thread: You've Got Your Arms Wide, and Sin in Your Eyes (Daunte and Potter)

NSFW Ciri NSFW Also Ciri! NSFW Weiss NSFW Also Weiss! The vibrant shining ball of fire was high in the sky, a perpetually active fusion reactor which gave Earth the warmth needed for the creatures that dwelled upon it to survive. While cloud coverage was readily obscuring the serene blue of the miday sky, it appeared that none of the clouds had the courage to challenge the sun on such a beautiful morning. All seemed peacful and immaculate on the outskirts of the college campus save for the bustling noise of students moving to leave or attend their extracarricular activiites. It was on umarred days like this that one had to question if their really was anything wrong with the world. Of course the answer to that was a resounding 'yes', but if you were one of the sheltered students who could afford college then it must have seemed like a perfect world. That was assuming that the stress of college itself didn't dampen the mood of the wonderful atmosphere. Some people swore by the college experience while others absolutely despised. Even the ones who disliked such ordeals would have to admit that it was a seemingly perfect day though. That was until the sky turned a dark blue-gray, clouds moving in finally to assault the sun's dominion of the air. The temperature seemed to drop suddenly from the comfortable warmth it was earlier to a now freezing chill. It was as if the world itself had suddenly reversed nature in the area. With a swirling swoosh of rushing air, a vortex much like a wind tunnel forming seemingly out of nothing, began spinning up. To the untrained eye it must have looked like what uneducated people assumed a tornado began as. Contrary to that though tornados started from the sky and touched down. This was moving upwards, reaching towards the clouds like a windy tendril as loose things nearby were picked up. It wasn't strong enough to pick up anything remotely heavy, but the whipping of leaves and college litter was obvious to anyone who caught a look at it. Finally though, a swirling mass of objects about fifteen feet high now, it picked up speed until a glowing purple void opened up at the top. Many of the objects that had been lifted up seemed to get instantly sucked within the portal, but afterwards the swirling seemed to die down. Moments later though the portal brightened to a blinding flash of light. Through the mouth of it fell two bodies which collided with the ground resulting in a dull thud as the two impacted with the earth below. Then, as quickly as it had shown up, the portal was gone. The clouds seemed to dissapate back to the shy movements they held before the weirdly sudden storm, and once again the incandesecent sun held it's grip on the tiny planet which it sustained. Piercing emerald eyes snapped open and the Ciri woke with a start, head jerking at quick angles to make herself aware of her surroundings as she'd been taught growing up. You were never truly safe even when everything was at ease, and waking up in an unknown location didn't quite come close to being at ease. The architecture was foreign to anywhere she had ever been before and that sent alarm bells ringing through her mind. It suddenly clicked in her thoughts that she wasn't exactly sure how she got to the weird city in the first place. The last thing she could recall was training in the moonlight before bed... Now it was midday and she was lost. Not alone though as it seemed someone else was in the same predicament as her. Ciri analyzed the other female from a distance to the best of her abilities while slowly getting to her feet which ended up being a lot harder than she thought it would be. Apparently falling fifteen feet was fairly taxing on the body. Finally though about a minute after Ciri, the other girl who had fallen through the portal seemed to stir. Weiss groggily opened her eyes and moved to sit foward, but a weak whimper fell from her high-pitched voice as pain shot through her body. She managed to sit up though, yet it was fairly obvious that she wasn't as accustomed to pain as the battle-worn warrior that had come through the portal with her. That wasn't to say that she wasn't a fighter herself, quite the opposite in fact, but the pain of the fall had definitely had more of an effect on her then the other female. Despite that though Ms. Schnee persevered and overcame the overwhelming sensations as her senses were assaulted with a new location. Her body was in pain, the scents were far different from the sterile and immaculate home she was used to, and her vision was met with unfamiliar sights. The pressing matter though was figuring out exactly what had happened, or more importantly perhaps where she was in the world. Dad had never spoken about a place matching the architectural intracies of the foreign land she found herself in. Waking up in such a place after having laid down in her bed for the night had maybe scattered her thoughts in panic though. Where... Am I? Weiss questioned, eyes locking on Ciri with a furrowed brow. Generally her voice would have been more demanding and opposing, but as it stood she wasn't in the particular mood for contronation. Especially not with someone who looked like they could and would handle themself in a fight. Ciri offered the sitting female of ivory a smile, standing to her feet fully and giving a casual shrug. Heh, your guess is as good as mine. I was about to ask you the same question. I guess that means we're both lost, she mused, hand reaching up to her blade that rested on her back. With a swift, practiced motion she drew the blade before giving it a twirl. It felt comforting to have the steel weapon within her hands, and seeing as no one else was around she figured that there wouldn't be any risk of giving locals the wrong idea. As she thought about it though she realized she could hear voices, several in fact, murmuring on the other side of the wall the two had landed a few feet from. They were distant, but definitely there. Oh... And just some friendly advice, you might want to handle that before someone sees, she added with an amused look, pointing to Weiss's dress which had unfortunately been flipped up from the fall to expose her usually private areas. That was one of the many reasons why Ciri didn't wear outfits like that. It was just impractical to fight in restrictive clothling like that. Weiss's face flushed an embarrassed red as she fervently went to work lowering her dress, following it up by brushing off the particles which clung to it while standing up. Apparently she hadn't finished changing clothes last night because she realized a few key articles of clothing were missing, something Ciri had gotten quite the view of. Hmph, she said, turning away from Ciri to look around at the surrounding area, although the real reason was to hide her embarrassment. I'm sure someone around here knows where we are and can get us home... As much as part of me really doesn't want to go home, she mentioned with a sigh, mostly speaking to herself, but it seemed like the girl she'd awoken with was in a similarly confusing situation to the huntress. The voices she heard milling about reminded her very much of Beacon so that seemed like a rather good place to start asking around. She doubted that it was a hunter school, but any information on their situation would be a step in the right direction.
