are you ready for me to blow your mind? [o]

[taren9]

Mind blown. Guess what? A blind girl was going to the library. Yeah, crazy I know. Sasha's hand was dragging against the wall to tell her where she was going. Her other hand held onto a violin case. What was in it? Not a violin. Instead it was a nice and pointy sword. She wasn't the one you wanted to get into a fight with right now. Her feet had no shoes on them today. She hadn't been able to remember where her shoes were so when she had tried to find them she couldn't, so for today she had no shoes on, and she didn't bother to try to find her socks.

Sasha was going to the library to find some new sheet music for her violin that she could learn. She already knew a lot, but she saw being here to have a chance to find some new sheet music and learn it. How does she read? By licking the pages. Not the most sanitary way, but she could sense the change of letters on the page when she licked it. Why? Because she had heightened senses. She also licked people when she met them to learn if they were a perfect or not and how old they were.

When Sasha turned a corner she knew that she was getting close to the library. She finally got to where it should have been and pressed against the door. It glided open and suddenly she was lost. Which section was the sheet music in? Aw crap. She should have thought of this. Maybe she should have found Steven or somebody and asked them to show her where the sheet music was. Now she just had to hope that somebody was here so that she could ask them to help her find the right section.

Sasha must look like a lost kitten right now. So helpless, but if somebody tried to pick a fight with her then they would get a fight. She was far from helpless. Sasha heard a page turn and smiled a little, hopefully that person would be nice enough to help her out. Sasha walked over to the person and tapped on their shoulder. "Would you mind helping me find the sheet music?" She asked whoever it was.

[ticklicous]

Ren was sitting in the library flipping through a large book about animals. He always liked to look through at the illustrations and read the fun facts mostly. It was who he was mainly, not to mention he could talk to animals afterall. He took no notice of the footsteps that approached from behind him. He was engulfed in his current book. Only did he take notice when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He sprung up with a startled squeal sound, as he had not expected anyone else to be here. After a recovery moment he looked to see a girl was the person who had tapped him on the shoulder. She had also asked about sheet music, luckily he knew where that was, since he played drums here and there. "Sheet music. I believe near the "World and Culture" section, two shelves over to the left." He explained hoping she could get this all down. Then he remixes what could be a slight complication with his explanation. "Wait. Oh, you're blind! I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention!" He said sincerely apologetic.

"I really didn't mean to be so stupid! If you want I can lead you to the area?" He suggested the idea, hoping that she wasn't offended by his stupidity or anything like such. He was such a doodie sometimes, but this could be a pretty big mistake that he made just now.

[taren9]

Sasha smiled a little bit at the guy's sqeak noise. She hadn't expected to startle him. She had thought the guy had heard her come in or something, but apparently not. She was quite happy with his response, but she hadn't really meant for it to happen. The guy gave her dirrections and that made her smirk. How awesome was he, giving dirrections to a blind girl. She didn't really mind.

Sasha had already turned and was about to go looking for the world and culture section when she heard him say sorry. Was he seriously saying sorry for giving her dirrections. People always figure out that she was blind at one point and she didn't mind that he had given her dirrections. "I understand that at the time you generally thought you were helping me, but thanks anyways." Sasha said with a smile.

Then he offered to lead her to the place. That was what she had been hoping for. Sasha nodded and chuckled a little bit. "You weren't stupid and I would like it if you could lead me to the sheet music." Sasha laughed. She didn't want him to beat himself up over such a small matter so she had no problem it wasn't like it hadn't happened before. "I'm Sasha by the way." She said and help out her hand.

[ticklicous]

"Ren." He said before getting up and shaking her hand. "So uh, can you follow voice, or do you need to hold feel something?" He asked unsure of what she would prefer. He looked at her a bit more, her eyes were milky and white. It may have creeped another person out, but for Ren, he was instead amazed. "So, what's being blind like? No offense or anything, I just think that because of that you are actually cooler than most others. I respect people who are blind, it shows that anything is possible." He said cheerfully.

He actually did like blind people, because if they can truly live with such then they are a true symbol of the idea that anything is possible. Then he realized, why do a lot of people seem so deterred by ones who are different. Blindness isn't too rare, beside, age eventually makes people go blind anyways. So why is instant blindness so bad? He always hated how people could be so rude and heartless. It made him want to beat someone with a frying pan.

[taren9]

Ren. That was a cool name. Was it some kind of a nickname because it was pretty awesome. Sasha always thought that her name was so bland. Then he asked her is she could follow vioce or if she needed to follow him by touch. Really neither Sasha could just follow him by the sound of his footsteps. "I can follow you just when you walk and I really like your name." Sasha said. Then she listened to what he said next.

He asked her what it was like to be blind. Sasha had to think this through. She had never seen so for her being blind was just normal and she really had not explination for it, but she guessed that she had one answer. Then she realized that he was still talking and started listening again. Was he actually complimenting her on being blind? Sasha blushed, she always blushed when she was complimented.

When Ren finished talking Sasha started. "It's hard for me to explain being blind, but I guess it'd be like having your eyes closed all the time. What's seeing like?" Sasha didn't really expect an answer, but she had to tease him a little bit. "And thanks for calling me being blind cool. I think that alone makes you pretty awesome." Sasha told him with a smile.

[ticklicous]

"I think your name is pretty, definitely fits you." He replied cheerfully after she mentioned she really liked his name. "My name's nothing too special though, just it is what it is I guess. My mum and papi liked it, so that's how I got my name." He said cheerfully. He liked this girl already, she was cool, fun, and nice. Three very good traits to have, not to mention a bonus for being pretty.

He started walking towards the sheet music section. "I would say seeing can be pretty bland sometimes. Sure you can see others, all the pretty colors, nature, but it's almost like books being turned into movies. You can imagine the world and scenes in a book, but movies make those images you always dreamed into something that isn't really what you'd want to see. It may seem annoying being blind I would guess sometimes, but, I would live to not see, because then the world could be mine in the sense if my imagination." He vented his ideals as he approached the sheet music.

"Ah! Here we are, what are you looking for?" He said, not noticing her violin case she carried. Rather, he started skimming through the sheets anyways because he wanted to find some drumming pieces too. He felt it would be fun to really get back into drumming again. He liked music a lot, so it would benefit him.

[taren9]

Sasha blushed again when he said that her name was pretty. She had never heard anybody tell her that. Not even her father had told her that before. "I find that your name is very unique and suits you very well." Sasha told him. It was true too. He had a very unique personality so his name suited him well.

When he started walking Sasha followed him with ease. She remembered to make this path known to herself so that the next time she came here to find sheet music she wouldn't have to ask for help. Ren explained what it was like to see and she guessed that it would probably be like that. She had never seen a movie because they just confused her, but she could get what he was saying. Was he also saying that he wanted to be blind? Well that was certainly unique.

Then Ren stopped and Sasha guessed that this was the right section. When he asked her what she was looking for she chuckled a little bit. He hadn't seen her violin case apparently. "I play the violin." She said and heard some of the books shuffling around and guessed that he was looking for something too. "What do you play?"

Sasha was generally curious about what he played. It was probably the guitar, that was what most males played now-a-days. Guitar or drums was her guess, maybe he even sung. That would make Sasha smile. She loved to hear people sing, but she had never really heard a guy sing axcept for in songs.

[ticklicous]

"Violin eh? Alright, hmmm..." He said shuffling around, finally hitting the violin sheets. He pulled out some smaller books and a bigger one. "Here you are." He said handing her the books so they barely brushed her hand. He felt kind of tingly inside, it was odd, but it felt good overall. He smiled lightly at this strange feeling.

"I play the drums, sometimes a bit of singing if I feel up to it." He only sang here and there, despite his easily adaptable vocal chords. Due to his Zoopathy he could easily mimic any animal sound, and since humans were animals, his voice tone could hit about any key. That humans could make anyways, but overall, he could chirp, growl, and all that.

[taren9]

Sasha took the books from him and nodded. "Thanks." She said to him. It would have taken her a long time to find this all on her own, but thanks to Ren she had found it quite easily. She owed him one, but Sasha didn't know yet if he was a perfect or what. She would just lick him, but that seemed kind of awkward right now so she didn't. Sasha then sat down on the ground to read the books.

When Ren told her that he played the drums and sung a little she smirked a little bit. "I hope you know that now I'm going to make you sing for me. We could go to the auditorium and use the drums there." Sasha told him and stood up. She had tried to play the drums once, but it hadn't really worked out, but strage enough Sasha herself had never tried to sing.

[ticklicous]

Ren looked at her oddly when she said he would have to song for her. "Huh?! Well, I would, but uh... What if the prefects catch us, because a measly Battle Front kid like me wouldn't stand a chance. Wouldn't it be safer in here?" He tried to weasel his way out if the idea. He never was too comfortable totally singing full out.

He pulled a drumming book off the shelf and started to read it. It looked interesting, although he had done most of the stuff in the book. Suddenly he just randomly started hand drumming the beat to Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna. It had a nice beat to it, eventually he started humming a bit to the lyrics.

[taren9]

Sasha smiled. He seemed a little shy about that. She was still going to talk him into playing for her one day. She'd play for him now, but she didn't have her actual violin with here at the moment. She licked the first page. It was something by a composer she had never heard of before, but it seemed interesting. That was when she heard Ren thrumming the beat to a song.

The song seemed familiar, but the name of the song slipped her memory. Probably something she had heard on the radio or something that somebody had been humming before. It was nice. Sasha smiled at the sound of it. She made no move to join in because she hadn't really ever sung and keeping a beat was a trouble to her, unless the beat was on the violin.

[ticklicous]

Ren just kept humming and tapping, oblivious to any other things now. He tilted his head back and forth as he hummed lightly. When he finished the song he looked over to Sasha, she was sitting and... Licking... The pages of the books. Must be that is how she can read, using her powers probably. It seemed interesting on how diverse the students were here.

"Have... Have you ever... Uhmm... Gone on a date before?" He asked out of the blue. He tried to make it sound like a casual question, but in truth, he actually wanted to try bringing her out somewhere. He felt as if butterflies were in his stomach now that he had asked the question. He knew that his voice wasn't as casual sounding as he wanted.

[taren9]

When he finished Sasha nodded her head. She opened her mouth to tell him that it had sounded really good when he started talking. She closed her mouth and listened. When he finished she was speechless. Sasha wasn't stupid. Was this his way of asking her on a date. She burst out laughing.

When Sasha stopped laughing she smiled. She adjusted her black fingerless gloves a little bit. "In fact I have never gone on a date and if you were planning on asking me out on one I'd have to say sure." She told him. He was probably blushing or something along those lines, but she couldn't see it so she didn't mind.

Sasha also realized that he had said he was a battlefront. That was good because she was one too so their socail statuse wouldn't get them both tons of enemies for hanging out together. She turned her face over to him with a slight smirk on her face. "So if we were to go on a date where would you bring me?" She asked. Sasha could pretty much feel his nervousness, or at least it felt like nervousness.

[ticklicous]

Ren's mouth dropped open for a bit, then he made a note to shut it quick. His jaws instantly clamped shut so he wouldn't seem stupid. He hadn't expected her to totally guess his intentions. "Err... I ah... Well..." Then she started talking so he figured words were better than none. He listened to her mention how she never had before, gone on a date.

"Well, I guess it depends. Is there anywhere you would want to go?" He asked after she asked him. He figured there might be some eateries around at the mall. Maybe there was other quieter places though too. Well, either way, it would all depend. "I- I'm surprised nobody has been on a date with you." He admitted, "You seem like a great person..." He finished while blushing profusely.

[taren9]

Sasha smiled at his surprise. He must have realized that it was really easy to see that he was asking her on a date. She wondered what her dad would think of the idea of her going on a date with a guy. The thought made her chuckle slightly. Then Ren asked her where she would want to go on a date. She really couldn't think of anywhere to go. Sasha supposed that they could always go to the beach and have a picnic or something. that would be fun. As long as he wasn't afraid of water then that would be a great idea.

"What if we go to the beach?" She said with a smile, viocing her thoughts. Sasha waited for his answer and when he said something she blushed. She always blushed when she was complimented. Eventually she'd get used to it. "I could bring my violin and play for you there and we could even ask the kitchen staff for some food so that we can have a picnic." She stated. She would love to play for him now, but she didn't have her violin with her, just the case and a bunch of swords. She then turned her face to where she heard Ren's breathing coming from.
