[b][u]In A Library, With Head Full of Dreams[/u][/b]
[i]Dojo Archives, 13:00[/i]
Kaliana was in the Dojo Archives. Her helmet was on, as she never took it off out of fear of the hatred she would receive.
She sat down, reading about the flora and fauna of the Dojo. She was dreaming of a desert in full bloom.
Coldplay was playing through the speakers of her helmet.
Until, someone interrupted her studies.

Kali stood up, when she heard, [i]Hey[/i]. But, she wasn't quick enough. Her helmet knocked her in the head, leaving blood and some roses, and killing her. "Guardian Down," her Ghost announced.
-
(At most that would have given her a concussion. She wouldnt have died from a helmet hitting her head, especially if it were thrown by a hunter)
-
"Ghost, why'd you pick such a young one? They never last that long." Scorch asked, clearly asking the ghost
-
"She had exceptional light," the Ghost argued, "And I will admit, she is quite shy, but in time, she'll get over it." The Ghost revived her guardian. Kali's eyes burned like a voidwall grenade. Her hand snapped, and crakled with Void light. She unleashed a Nova Bomb onto Scorch.
-
"Great...." The Hunter was cast into the void, but returned a few moments later after being resurrected by his own Ghost, Dawn
-
Then, Kali was gone. She had disappeared.
-
"Interesting girl." [i]"You're annoying her." [/i] "I annoy everyone." [i]"It's ridiculous." [/i] Scorch laughed loudly, walking away from the clearing and going back towards the dojo

An old man entered the library, hushed. Though her music would drown out a lot, a loud tap could sometimes be heard through the smothering layer. His garb was odd, everyday clothes fasioned into what could be seen as armor, if barely that. He was old, very much so. He looked far too old to even be walking. On his back was a folded staff, next to a long curved blade and a blunderbuss. The blade shined in the smallest of lights and gave off an air of importance. And this is what finally pierced through your reverie. For when he passed by, the staff accidentally gave her a good whack on the back of her head.
-
Kali's helmet bumped the back of her head, and she winced, "Ow." The Warlock sighed as she continued to read her book.
-
The man looked behind him "My apologies. I-" He was suddenly taken aback by you, your garb and the odd regalia. He circled around, poking you every now and again. "What are you?"
-
[spoiler]I'm not trying to hurt your feelings with short posts. But this character is shy. In most situations.[/spoiler] She struggled to speak as her nerves shook her, "A-a War-lock, Warlock. But--" She stuttered, looking up to the man. Kali hated one-on-one conversations. "I--I bare-ly, barely, under-staaand what I am. What I am."
-
"Hm. You are quite strange" He said, stopping "What is you name?"
-
"Kaliana," the Warlock replied, not stuttering for once. The first four letters sounded like Caw-Lee. The last three sounded like how Ana is pronounced in Frozen. "M-most call me Kali." [spoiler]Closest Comparison of the pronunciation of her name.[/spoiler]
-
"My name is Gehrman. please to meet you" He said with a smile. Then he gestured to a seat "May I?" He asked. It wasn't hard to tell why he wanted to sit down, and why there was a tapping when he walked. On his right leg, under his right knee, his leg was replaced by a wooden peg.
-
She turned off the music playing through her helmet. But she refused to take it off. She nodded to the man.
-
He slowly sat, with some effort. "Thank you. It has been a long time since I last rested."
-
She finally reassured herself that this man was friendly, and stopped stuttering. The natural pitch of her voice was high, but it still was soft, "They would say humans need at least eight hours of sleep to make it through the day."
-
"I've slept long enough." He said, sighing "If I had a choice, I would sleep no more."
-
"I'm not sure whether or not it applies to me," she told him.

-
Kali could not hear him over the Coldplay playing in her helmet. She was lost in her own little world as she read.
-
Alex tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but I need to copy some of these files. Would you know where I could find a terminal?"
-
The Warlock looked up through her helmet as the Coldplay shut off when he started talking. She shrugged.
-
"Surely you don't mean to tell me that all the information here is on paper."
