Say what you want, after "Clancy" they're officially twins for me <3 Also, yeah, I've a big problem with this song, it's stuck in my mind and won't leave me. Seriously, I think it's perfect for Idia...

I'm always fighting with my brushes, I can't find THE one. Maybe this is what I was looking for. When I'm on tablet I really miss the paper's texture...
There's also a little draft of my story ahead. I'm not english mothertoungue, I'm practicing with something I already wrote. Hope it's not that bad!

Adana gave him a confused glance, then she shook her head. Her expression turned to be sorry again. «Speaking of before, did I... do something to upset you?» What was she talking about? Yeah, maybe she was referring to when she sat down next to him and he backed off. It was the first time that someone would bother to ask him sometihng like that. «Dunno, we never really talk.» «Actually, I've been wanting to get close to you for a while. I always saw you alone, but I didn't know if you'd be ok with it», she said, with a shy smile. It seemed that there was no mocking in her words, but he didn't need her pity. He was used to living alone. In fact, Idia liked it better since social interactions weren't his strong suit. He only needed himself; the rest was just an accessory good enough to fill up lives of normies like her.

It will be at least a month since the last time I promised to write the chapter of the ff on the magic exam and the paper is still blank... To make up for it, we cannot say that I wasted time.

A new, very little update done! I had been looking for another surname for a long time, I wasn't convinced by the one she had and while I was writing the ff I had a flash. I have to say, I like the way it sounds, I think it has a more personal meaning that suit her better <3
Meet the OC - Sinesi Aclyda
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Family:
Aglaia Ballisto (Mother) Sideri Aclyda (Father) Chrisante Aclyda (Older sister)
Other names:
Rubecula (Hacking community) Betta (Floyd) Reine des papillons (Rook)
Personality:
A carefree and coquettish girl, with an omnipresent smile of who knows better than you. She may carry herself with an air of superiority, but a bit of flattery is all it takes to win her over.
All her problems are hers alone and, for that reason, she tend to keep others out of them. Seeing her open up to someone is a rare sight, very few people can say they've seen her vulnerable side. Her strong and resolute nature allowed her to fight one of the deepest sorrow she ever felt, but she risked being overwhelmed by it on several occasions. Among all her friends, Vil Schoenheit seems to have the best influence on her. Despite he often claiming he hate her innate passion for lowbrow cinema, he's always there to bring her back down to earth, perhaps the only one truly capable of making her question her choices and pushing her to take a step back. She's quick to anger and when someone is asking her for help, she's always answering in an annoyed tone, but she ends up helping out, even if she sulks the whole time. Just flattering her ability is enough to soften her up. Both with friends or strangers, she's a very frank girl, but her manner may be a little unfriendly or caustic. Moreover, she's a very resentful person, and everyone at school knows this side of her: if someone wrongs her, it's a bit difficult that she'll let it go, and she'll do whatever it takes to get even.
Signature spell:
"Come and serve me well. Who's in control?" In a botnet, allow her to replace the main terminal, physically becoming the botmaster of the network. The larger the network, the more energy she consumes and less time she has. Since botnets are often very large, she has no more than five minutes.
Trivia:
Sinesi's name comes from the greek word σύνεσις, meaning 'understanding', 'unification', 'insight'.
Her surname, Aclyda, comes from the greek word ἀχλύς achlýs, meaning 'obfuscate', in reference to her irascible nature.
She's a promising engineer, but she's dyscalculic. When she was younger, she wanted to surrender at the idea that she would never be a technomantic engineer, but Theia, her sister's girlfriend, pushed her to continue her studies. Now, her goal is to be the best in her field of research, so she can make her proud and repay her for all the kindness and support she’s given.
Since she's slower than her classmates at programming, she wrote a handbook with all the problems she’s already encountered and various precompiled programs ready for use, so she can review them and complete her tasks more quickly.
After the chaos she did during her first year and after spoken with the ARU, they're watching over her devices to monitoring her behaviour online for the time being, a security precaution. Meanwhile, also their cybercrime department put an eye on her...
She has a fondness for shooter, hack-and-slash and horror games. She often play with Idia, who always push her to try some RPGs. She really don't like them, with the exception of one, single game he maneged to make her like.
She's holding a podcast for the film research club with her club's companions. They have fun talking about B and Z movies, mostly horror, but they also promote their main work done under the guidance of Vil. It's a compromise she did with him.
When she's angry, all her magic run through her robotic butterflies and devices, causing multiple glitch and error that she must repair all the times.
To scary the Ignihyde freshmen, she's developed an hologram of a frightening demon coming from a story written by her friend Adana. They named it Larry, and now "he's infesting the second floor of Ignihyde". Idia's backing her up.
When their ex dormleader wanted her to be the new housewardern, she declined. Now, despite idia not appointed her as his vice, most of the dormitory see her like their vicehousewarden.
At first, she was sorted in Pomefiore, but choose to change dorm after the first semester.

Meet the OC - Adana Prestina
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Family:
Linnea Gople (Mother) Yemeya Prestina (Father)
Other names:
Jellyfish (Floyd) Reine de tarot (Rook)
Personality:
A lively and romantic girl, with that extra spark. She's always ready to read the future in the cards for anyone who asks. Old friendships taken advantage of her innate kindness, but her parents always pushed herto not lose it, promising her that, one day, she would have found true friends. Because of her past, she's very often somewhere between throwing herself into the search for new friends and the fear of how people can react. She has also a low self-esteem and she's rather coward: she tend to avoid any potential dangerous situation, letting others take care of it. Her ability to come in contact with any kind of spirit has the power to make her feel uneasy, and this is a part of her which she continuously refuses. She'll runs away at the first sign of danger, but she managed to take action only when, during the third year, she had seen her friends being at risk because of her fear of fighting back. It's probabily her empathy what allows her to break through Idia's thick armor, despite at first he would run at the mere sight of her.
Signature spell:
"No one can hurt me in there. Cage of salvation".
It's a protection spell, which allows her to lock her own subconscious up as a form of prevention against infesting spirits who can take possession of her body. In this way, she can avoid her soul to be absorb little by little, but at the same time she falls into a deep sleep and she'll be vulnerable to outside attacks until she decides to break up the spell.
Trivia:
Adana's name come from the Amharic አዳና, "the one who saves", "the one who heals".
Her surname, Prestina, is based on the danish's word Højpræstinden, which is the major arcana's High Priestess in tarot cards.
She's a mermfolk, just like her mother. Her true form is a jellyfish.
She's part of the narrow circle of medium magician. When she was little, a strong meningitis brought her on the edge of death, but a brilliant doctor saved her life. Despite this, he couldn't spare her the consequences. An experience near the death is, infact, one of the two way with a magic user can acquires this ability - the other is a gift at birth, but is extremely rare.
Due to this ability, since she was a child she's able to see any kind of invisible spirits, from the harmless phantoms of Ramshackle to the most treacherous creature. She believes that this is the root of her big fear of dark and she tries to avoid sleeping alone. When her roommate is not there, she's almost always finds refuge in Sinesi's room at Ignihyde.
She suffer of frequent panic attack and sleep parlysis and, although she's begun to understand how to handle it, she's not good at keep it at bay yet.
She's wearing a tourmaline earrings, which is a stone famous for his apotropaic capacity.
She loves tarot cards and always bring with her the pack his dad bought her.
She lived quite a long period as metalhead (today she's embarassed to speak about it).
She's very knowledgeable about animation in general, but she prefers 2d animation. This passion of her allowed her to find something in common with Idia and Sinesi.
She's Larry's creator, the creature that "infest the second floor of Ignihyde". She was the mind of his animation and character design.
She has a crush on Trey since the first year, but never take a step ahead for the fear of rejection (although it's clear that he also has an interest in her).

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🇬🇧: Freezing is blendind with anxiety rising from her stomach: why is the blood still there? Breathing becomes hard, panic clouds her mind and judgement. The rag falls from her grasp, her body warps. She screams. Her yell shatters the unsettling silence, and continue until the air in her lungs is completely consumed. 🇮🇹: Il gelo dell'ambiente si mescola all'agitazione che cresce dallo stomaco: perché il sangue è ancora lì? Il respiro diviene affannato, il panico offusca mente e giudizio. Il panno cade dalla stretta della mano, il corpo si piega in avanti. Grida. L'urlo squarcia il silenzio inquietante, va avanti finché l'aria nei polmoni non viene consumata del tutto.

Vivere di luce riflessa - Parte 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Due giorni dopo, al suo arrivo, la classe di pozioni era quasi vuota, salvo un gruppetto che stava chiacchierando tra loro in un angolo. Una delle ragazze sventolò una mano verso di lei e la invitò a unirsi a loro. Sinesi si era svegliata con ritrovato buonumore, era piuttosto impaziente. Si incamminò verso di loro, sistemandosi meglio i manici della sacca di tela in cui aveva riposto il computer. Seguivano il podcast che curava grazie all'aiuto dei suoi compagni di club e la spensieratezza le permise di rispondere a tutte le domande che avevano per lei. Le piaceva sempre molto parlare dei suoi progetti e quello era uno dei tanti che più la rendeva orgogliosa, Il club di cinema era sempre stato monopolio di Vil sin dalla sua fondazione. Sapere che non solo fosse riuscita a convincerlo a ritagliare un piccolo angolo di divulgazione ma perfino ad avere una rubrica sui film “sudici” (come a lui piaceva chiamarli) ormai diventata intoccabile le dava una soddisfazione immensa.
Proseguirono per una decina di minuti e fu così amabile che quasi dimenticò il motivo per cui era così elettrizzata. Ci pensarono i due ragazzi che entrarono baldanzosi in classe a ricordarglielo. Diasomnia e Savanaclaw si diressero disinvolti verso il banco che avevano occupato durante la lezione precedente e un brivido le corse lungo la schiena. Restò con il gruppetto a chiacchierare finché anche Trey non varco la soglia della classe e la salutò con un cenno del capo. Fu a quel punto che si congedò e agguantò la sacca chiara per raggiungerlo. Era ora di andare in scena.
«Sembri felice, buon per te. Dove ci mettiamo?»
La ragazza indicò con il pollice il banco di fronte ai due con un sorriso smagliante. «Una domanda piuttosto stupida, mio caro. Stai perdendo colpi.»
La seguì scuotendo la testa, sconsolato. Trey iniziò a impilare dei ciocchi di legna sotto il calderone mentre Sinesi preparò il bancone, dove posò il portatile. Quando lo schermò si illuminò uno dei due ragazzi alle sue spalle sussurrò qualcosa, eccitato: «Anche oggi sarà una passeggiata!»
Dal compagno non arrivò alcuna risposta verbale, ma non le riusciva difficile immaginarlo condividere il suo stesso entusiasmo.
Siamo tutti su di giri vedo, ottimo.
Trey, nel frattempo, si era rimesso in piedi e aveva preso a sfogliare il libro di testo. Gli diede una leggera gomitata sullo sterno. «Dì, li hai sentiti?»
Il ragazzo lanciò un'occhiata fugace alle loro spalle, guardandoli mentre sghignazzavano. «Contenti loro. Inizio a temere quello che li aspetta.»
C'era qualcosa di strano, nel suo tono di voce, come se si sentisse a disagio e per questo gli rivolse un sorriso morbido. «Perché sei così teso, rilassati. Non hai niente da temere.»
Il professor Crewel piombò finalmente in classe senza alcun preavviso, esigendo da subito il silenzio più assoluto. Li invitò ad accendere le braci mentre illustrava l'oggetto di valutazione del giorno, una pozione di amplificazione per l'impatto magico. «Basta una singola cosa fuori posto per trasformare il composto in un disastro. La difficoltà non è elevata, per cui mi aspetto di vedere dei lavori esemplari e non tollererò fallimenti. Avete un'ora di tempo a partire da adesso.»
Il silenzio calò sulla classe come una leggera cortina. Ogni coppia si chiuse nella propria concentrazione e iniziò a muovere i primi passi.
Sinesi riempì il calderone con una soluzione estratta dal salice d'argento, una pianta nativa del Regno delle Rose e materiale di base per vari distillati. Si alternò in perfetta sinergia con Trey tra il calderone e il bancone, stando attenta a che lo schermo fosse perfettamente visibile alla coppia dietro di loro. Aveva perfino scritto il documento con un carattere molto più grande del normale, ma chissà se si sarebbero accorti della sua frecciatina. Il ragazzo di Savanaclaw sussurrò qualcosa al compagno, indicando con un cenno del dito proprio il suo computer, ma il suo tono di voce era talmente basso che non era stata in grado di sentire nulla.
Come fa un armadio come quello a essere così silenzioso? La natura non smette davvero mai di stupirmi.
Seguirono pedissequamente i passaggi fino al punto numero cinque, quello fatidico. Erano passati venti minuti dall'inizio della prova. Sinesi si morse il labbro per evitare di sorridere troppo. Certo non voleva rovinare la sorpresa che aveva in serbo.
«Semi di stella della notte? Non era questo che avevamo scelto, che ci fa tra le istruzioni?» bisbigliò Trey, che nel frattempo era tornato per recuperare il nuovo ingrediente da aggiungere.
«Non ti fidi di me?»
Le rivolse uno sguardo piuttosto duro. «Ora come ora no. Sai che effetto ha se lo uniamo all'erbabrulla. Forse ti sei confusa con altro, anche se ne dubito fortmente.»
«E fai bene, perché sai che non commetto errori.»
Lanciò un'occhiata verso il professore. Era rivolto in avanti, stava scandagliando con lo sguardo le ultime postazioni in fondo alla classe. Quando voltò lo sguardò verso la sua destra Sinesi ne approfittò per girarsi appena indietro e, da sopra la spalla, vide nelle mani di Diasomnia i semi neri di stella della notte pronti per essere aggiunti all'infuso. Poco prima che scivolarono in basso, si girò verso Trey, portandosi le mani ai lati della testa. «Farai meglio a coprirti le orecchie.»
Fu per un attimo perplesso, ma la sua espressione mutò rapidamente in rabbia nel momento in cui si rese conto di cosa stava accadendo: «Non dirmi che–»
La frase non giunse mai al termine, risucchiata in un grosso boato. La classe si riempì all'istante di fumo, rendendo l'aria irrespirabile. Tra i tanti colpi di tosse e domande confuse si alzò la voce del professor Crewel. Intimò perentorio di evacuare la classe e tutti si riversarono in corridoio, sotto lo sguardo attonito dei passanti. Un brusio indistinto rimbalzò sulle spesse pareti di pietra.
«Sei impazzita? Ma che ti è saltato in testa?» esclamò Trey a denti stretti. L'aveva seguita verso il parapetto, dove si issò a sedere, e la guardava truce.
Sogghignò, guardandosi bene dall'alzare troppo la voce per evitare che qualcuno la sentisse: «Sono stata buona, le dosi che avevo scritto all'inizio erano il doppio».
«Davvero non ti è venuto in mente altro?»
«A proposito, ti devo ringraziare per avermici fatto pensare. Ti porto al Mostro Lounge. Prendi tutto quello che vuoi, offro io.»
Una farfalla le si insinuò tra i capelli e si posò nell'incavo del collo. Osservò compiaciuta il professore sgridare a gran voce Diasomnia e Savanaclaw, che ascoltavano mortificati a capo chino e coda tra le gambe (almeno per l'uomo bestia che ne era provvisto). Crewel concluse greve chiedendoli di raggiungerlo nel suo ufficio a fine giornata e quando sparì in classe, probabilmente per controllare l'entità dei danni, si girarono verso di lei. Anche da lontano poteva vedere i loro visi rossi di imbarazzo o rabbia, o forse entrambi. Alzò una mano e agitò le dita con sprezzo.
«Questa volta hai davvero esagerato.» Trey si era nel frattempo appoggiato con il bacino al parapetto di pietra e aveva incrociato le braccia al petto con un lungo sospiro. Aveva alzato la mascherina sulla testa, che aveva lasciato un segno profondo sotto gli occhi e sul naso.
«Non so proprio di che parli.» Con tono di finta ingenuità, la ragazza alzò una mano a mezz'aria e una seconda farfalla si posò sul dito teso.
«E le conseguenze? Non hai pensato che potrebbero fare il tuo nome?»
Si voltò verso di lui, divertita. «E la mia parola contro la loro. Sarò sempre io ad avere il controllo, persino due cavernicoli come loro l'avranno capito, a questo punto.»
Gli sguardi trafelati che i due ragazzi continuavano a lanciarle rappresentavano al meglio ciò che la scuola doveva sapere. Non era lì per impartire lezioni a nessuno, ma se qualcuno avesse osato giocare con la sua pazienza credendo di poterla scampare allora stavano combattendo una battaglia persa in partenza.
«Continuo a pensare che sei stata un tantino estrema. E pensare che una parte di colpa potrebbe essere mia...»
«Tu mi hai solo dato un buon input, hai le mani pulite. E poi, non puoi guardare il sole da vicino e lamentarti perché ti ha bruciato le retine.»
Osservò la farfalla sbattere lieve le alucce di metallo e soffiò piano sul proprio dito. L'esserino riprese il volo, riflettendo sulle ali un raggio di sole. «Ogni cosa ha i suoi rischi, anche vivere di luce riflessa.»
Trey sospirò di nuovo. Per certi versi, sembrava divertito. «Spero di non farti mai arrabbiare.»
