((Ooc: Wow, this is long. Like, really long. Sorry about the length, but I felt like writing how Candy felt about each of the characters in this part, and a lot of things happened while I was away. You can kinda skim read until "Fantastic" or something.
I think that Cariger is MIA so far. She hasn't really been on enough to post at any of the rps she'd signed up for and had happily participated in… Oh, and I really enjoy typing in Candy's character… And sorry in advance!))
Having no problem being dressed as she was, Candy gratefully lowered herself into a posh armchair, brow furrowed slightly in thought. She had by now, like all girls who depended upon fashion to get by in the world, formed a judgement for pretty much everyone in the room. What surprised people the most was some of the minute and careful calculations done to form that judgement, coming from these "barbie dolls" that were speculated to have no deep thoughts in any point of their life.
The Angel of Darkness and Lust, Alan, was obviously interested in her, to say the least. He was an attractive enough guy – and this was quite an understatement, Candy mused, appraising him once more – but really rather brash, bossy and had values that contradicted each other fiercely. Usually, this wouldn't bother her, but when people threw knives at fifteen-year-old kids, including her, and decisions needed to be made, then it would possibly start to irk her. She should be able to have at least a say in everything that involved her, and even though some guys liked to feel like a "fair maiden" was distressed and needed a "hero", she did not fancy placing her life at any guy's hands.
Then there was his friend, Ashley. He was obviously a bit ill in the head or something. Firstly, no matter which Angel was his friend or whatever, the decision for his going on this futile attempt to survive in some supernatural world she had fallen into, did not belong to that guy. His coming along would affect the whole group, and his flaunting his wealth, which he didn't even care for anyway, didn't help matters. This led her to the second thing. Wealth and power did not buy everything in the world. This dolt, however, seems to insist upon believing that money could achieve anything! That was what got on her nerves the most about his character. He was smart in his own way, but totally blind and ignorant.
There was the Angel of Light and Greed, The-let's-investigate-guy, AKA Jason. His whole manner just caused her to dislike him. His value as a person in her eyes had been sealed the moment he had gone to two teenage girls after a guy had been stabbed onstage and coolly suggested that they "investigate". The guy obviously had no morals, nor thought of lives as worth much. Candy imagined that if a dollar had dropped from the guy's laden pocket, he would scramble around desperately and try to find it.
Carol, Angel of Pride and… Wind, she guessed, was one that she actually took a liking to, surprisingly enough. When somebody shockingly proud met somebody filled with envy, one would have expected fireworks and friction between the two. This didn't happen. It was odd, really.
One that she hadn't had much contact with was Haru, Angel of Water and Gluttony. He had saved the annoying Ashley's life, shouted for more water out of necessity, and stayed much too thin for the amount of food he ate in a single sitting. Otherwise, she knew naught about the guy. This meant he was probably rather reserved and quiet, which often hinted at either a studious nature or, more rarely, a harsh past.
The Angel of Earth and Sloth… What was his name…? Right, he hadn't given it to her yet. He was an unknown factor, but had stolen the attention away from her before, and that rankled. It even made her slightly prejudiced, and she overlooked the fact that it was just bad timing and bad luck.
So, all in all, there was one person, who was, incidentally, the only other girl in the group (ignoring Priscilla, since she was such a minor character, Candy forgot about her) that she genuinely liked. Two were unknown factors, one she had mixed feelings about, and another two that she had taken an intense, if early, dislike to.
Fantastic. And she had told none of them what Element she was on yet, either.
Candy brought herself out of these quick judgements with a roll of the eyes before paying attention to the conversation around her, which seemed to flit from subject to subject at an alarming rate. Lust and Alan suddenly dropped what some others felt was a bomb into their midst. Envy had already told her that they were sent to help bring on the end of the world or something along those lines. That was around three years ago, and the full implication of this had yet to hit her.
After this speech about the death of all mortals on Earth, Alan leaned towards her, his intent pouring out of his very being. "So… hi,' he smiled. Candy licked her lips slowly, a teasing glint lighting her eye. She loved it when guys paid this much attention to her.
Then Greed's guy interrupted, once more drawing the concentration of those in the room. Needless to say, her opinion of him, which wasn't all that high, in the first place, lowered perceptibly. He raised what she considered a ridiculous subject; something about after completing their "mission" and fighting each other. Candy had absolutely no intention of doing anything past what she needed to do, and would not wish to stay and fight when she could be at a luxury resort or something. Honestly.
'Wh-what? What do you mean end humanity? You can't seriously mean that, can you? What about all the people special to each of us? Alan, what about Ashley? He is kinda a part of "humanity" you know! And my parents…' This came from the Angel of Water, Haru. And this statement was what made Candy realise that the end of humanity meant the end of her own parents.
Before then, in that odd way of most humankind, Candy had a vague notion that anything relating to her would be spared, that somehow they would survive and their country wouldn't change. It was quite childish, she knew, but everyone harboured a feeling that they and their loved ones were exceptions to every rule. To have this blessed ignorance ripped away so abruptly was a shock, and she sat there still reeling with it, dimly hearing the others keep talking.
'You're Envy, right?' A male's voice finally cut through the aftermath of the revelation. Instantly, she became slightly indignant at being referred to by her Sin. *Envy gets more fame than I do. That's so not fair!* She thought before he continued. 'I'm sloth, or Kenai, if you will,' he told her, causing her to muse slightly at the fact that he referred to himself as his sin. 'I like your hair,' he announced abruptly.
'Oh, uh… thanks?' Candy stuttered slightly, surprised more than anything at this rather odd comment. Coming in a close second was the feeling of being flattered. It was hard to dislike somebody that appealed to her feminine vanity. He chuckled softly to himself.
'You don't look like the type that should hold that kind of sin,' he threw another surprising comment at her. 'You look fine to me; you don't look as if you should envy anyone else.'
And despite herself, she was really beginning to like this guy. He seemed quite easygoing and, well, odd… in a good way. Most other guys were really quite boring and uptight about certain things. They all thought to impress her with their "masculinity" and "strength". She had always played along just for the sake of it, but this one just seemed different.
'It's weird, really, how you were given Envy even though you don't look like you should envy anyone, and I was given Sloth, even though I'm one of the most active people on my beach,' Kenai continued, flashing a warm smile at her. 'Quite weird, don't you think?'
'Hmm, I think they made a good choice with me, though,' Candy muttered, thinking about the consequences of giving the sin of Envy to an Angel of Fire who had some reason to envy others which she couldn't help, like being rather plain-looking. She would have set most of the other students on fire years ago.
Then Kenai turned away to chat with somebody else, but Candy didn't actually feel slighted. The quick companionship that had been accomplished had the feel of a friend, and nothing more. At least, for now – feelings could always change.
The topic around her had somehow suddenly switched back to that of the "horsemen" thing. Alan was explaining that he thought that they had to use their combined power to find the location of the Horsemen. Suddenly he turned to Kenai and told him off. 'Hey Sloth, the girl is mine,' he practically announced that she was his property. Her lip curled at this unpleasant thought. 'Unless…' he continued slyly, trailing off. She clenched her jaw as she imagined what this could imply. Two words; no way.
'Who was to say I was not just being friendly?' Kenai chuckled, directing a wink her way. For some reason, she had an insane urge to giggle mindlessly after that. Especially when he commented that Alan's hair was nice. *I guess he likes hair then, huh?* Candy fought the rising chuckle and cleared her throat softly.
Then the subject swerved and suddenly, they were talking food. She really had to laugh as the bossy, fussy and lustful Angel of Darkness revealed an extreme fondness for some kind of really expensive cheese that she'd never heard of before. Her black mood had slowly faded throughout the conversations and she smiled genially at both Alan and Ashley.
'Well, if this cheese has gotten this oaf,' she said jokingly, jabbing a thumb in Alan's direction, 'so worked up, I'd like to try some for myself.'
