((Azzie the last hope.
You would think that summer would mean more time to RP, but there is a serious decline in post all of a sudden. :/ ))
Niola knew people suddenly appearing out of the blue was shocking, especially if a ton of motionless, blood-stained, pale stared with empty gazes towards you; still, she didn't expect the young lady to take a few steps away from her. Trying to spot what was so frightening about her, Niola immediately dismissed it when she found out that the girl's name is Azzeriah. Hoping not to frighten her again, Niola reached out her own hand and gripped Azzeriah's, shaking it in a friendly manner.
"I understand this place may seem like a horrid, terrifying graveyard, but it was once an academy," Niola explained, knowing Azzeriah probably had some connection to the academy already.
"Well, what I am getting at is that there were a lot of good students here, yet someone decided to destroy the peaceful environment of the academy. A lot of people were killed, all because the mastermind behind all this used some sort of chip to turn people into his or her puppets. Oh, by the way, the way you can tell who is being controlled is by finding the chip on the neck of the unfortunate victim. So far, most of the people who fell under the control of the chip turned into psychotic, uncaring monsters -- ah, but my friends and I managed to make it thus far without losing anyone..."
Niola paused, her eyes flicking diagonally downwards. The last sentence troubled her, because she wasn't sure if this was true. Tara, Jack, Ben, and Dzi...they were all still missing, without any means of communicating to them. The idea of one or more of them being held captive by the devilish chip that took so many lives caused Niola to shiver, but she tried to believe that the their missing four group members were all fine; they were just a bit lost. Still, if something really did happen to them...it might be too much for Niola to bear...
"Ah, you probably want to meet the others, right?" Niola inquired cheerfully, snapping out of her daze.
"They aren't that far away. Follow me!"
