“Misery Meat”

"I see...."

[ Mayari ponders over this. ]

"The other 15 Ultimate students and I got knocked out by some gas when we took the train to enroll at the academy, so I wondered if that happened to the other Ultimates I haven't met before...."

"Umm....hello?"

[ The girl in a jellyfish haircut in blue attire comes up to you. ]

-🌙🪼

“Hello, girl.”

She says…nothing else. Holding the same neutrally upset expression.

DORMS (IN ORDER)

LEFT SIDE:

Luciano - Citrine Valentine - Jade Matteo - Sapphire Tian - Morganite Ozzie - Larimar Sasha - Ruby Autumn - Topaz Yuriko - Sugilite

RIGHT SIDE:

Cecile - Aquamarine Hecate - Garnet Mayari - Zircon Mallow - Emerald Rylee - Amethyst Allie - Spinel Hazel - Alexandrite Delilah - Diamond

"Ah, I see.... Sorry about that."

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

@the-feathered-fashionista

[ Mayari's hair glows into white, while her eyes glow into white and blue separately due to the surprise of this. ]

"Oh, you're one of Allie's friends?"

Oh no, how am I gonna introduce myself without scaring her friend off with my talent? But since Allie told him about me, I should be fine, right???

"I-I'm Mayari. Mayari Sadélle.

I'm the..... The Ultimate Test Subject.

Nice to meet you, too."

[ She snaps out of her daze when he asks that question. ]

"O-oh, umm....."

[ She thinks about it for a moment. ]

"Hmmm.....If I'm not mistaken, I'd say...... around medium, give or take."

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

Nice to meet you, too."

"Well, I gotta admit it really was.... a lot. And don't worry about "not being helpful", I did join you to investigate other places after all."

"Umm...hi, Hazel, it's Mayari. Are you okay?"

-🌙🪼

[ Hazel looked up at Mayari, nodding. ]

“ … A… ah, yes, Ms. Sadelle. I’m doing well for the time being… though, the previous few events have been… staggering, to say the least. I sincerely apologize for not being more helpful during the class trial, I’m… not very experienced when it comes to… events like this.

…That doesn’t matter. How are you doing, Ms. Sadelle? Do you have anything else you wish to talk to me about? “

[ She tilted her head to the side, waiting. ]

[ Surprised by him knowing who she's referring to and his plan about it, she quickly stands up and asks. ]

"Wait, what?? How– Wouldn't that be–??"

[ The glowing girl composes herself by taking a few deep breaths, dimming the glow in both of her hair and eyes back to brown before asking the man her question. ]

"......If that were to happen after the trial on my end, can I be there with you?"

"....Um, hi.

It's me, again."

[ She greets you as her hair glows white and her eyes in blue as she looks down in dejection. ]

-🌙🪼

He lights a cigarette, and then leans back against a chair.

“Hello. Do you need something?”

He offers a gentle smile.

[ Mayari couldn't form any more words for now. All she could do was break down after all of the repressed emotions after that incident in front of someone she had just met. How humiliating..... She could've just held it in more until she's alone to do so, just like the day she confessed about her true talent to everyone. ]

To Mayari,

"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."

YASSSSSSSS

guys... i might write for project eden's garden again once the new chapter drops... 👀

(I got inspired by @opossum-on-the-stage 's prompt, so I'm making a non-KG interview for Mayari. This could take place right after Allie's, btw)

🌼 - W-wait! Miss Jouphiet!

*Allie runs off without looking back with a flushed face. The interviewer sighed in defeat for being unable to get her last answer before ending the interview but immediately perked up upon meeting another person, who was on her way to the academy. The interviewer decided to walk up to the girl and start a new interview.*

🌼 - Excuse me!

??? - Yes?

*The girl turned around, and the interviewer had a pretty good look at the girl's appearance. Brown haired in a jellyfish haircut and brown eyes, has glasses with rose gold chains, wearing a black and blue tank top and arm sleeves with a certain pattern.*

??? - Is there something you need? I need to head to class at the academy.

*The interviewer snapped out of their thoughts, realizing they had been staring at her for a while.*

🌼 - O-oh! Sorry! Are you a student of Eden's Garden Academy?

??? - Yes, why?

🌼 - Then, you must also be an Ultimate, yes??

*The interviewer excitedly moved closer to the girl, flustering her. They could've sworn they saw a white and blue glow in her eyes and hair for a split second, it must've been the sunlight hitting their eyes.*

??? - H-huh??? Yes, that's right...

🌼 - Then, can I interview you? I promise it'll be quick since you have classes to attend!

??? - Alright, I don't mind. Though, I can't promise I'd bring interesting answers....

🌼 - That's okay, you can answer them however you like!

*The interviewer cleared their throat.*

🌼 - *Ahem* Alright, let's start! First question: What is your name?

🌙🪼 - Mayari Sadélle

🌼 - That's a beautiful name!

🌙🪼 - Oh, thank you.

🌼 - Ok, next question! What is your Ultimate talent?

🌙🪼 - Ah..... I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I can answer this.

🌼 - Oh? Why is that?

🌙🪼 - You've heard of some students who have been receiving their titles that are not known to the public eye, right?

🌼 - Yes, I also heard that one of the reasons that it's been like this because their talents are extremely dangerous, both in name and context.

🌙🪼 - Exactly, and let's just say....... I'm one of those people. If I were to say my talent, it wouldn't be appropriate for an interview, wouldn't it?

🌼 - I guess so..... Alright, we'll skip the question! Time is of essence, after all! What's it like being a student of this academy and what are you learning?

🌙🪼 - Well, there's never a dull moment here, I can tell you that. As for what I'm learning....... a bit of everything, I guess?

🌼 - Could you clarify that part?

🌙🪼 - I'm basically someone who'd help out anyone with any kind of Ultimate talent by letting them test onto me in order for them to have satisfactory results, that's what I mean by "learning a bit of everything".

🌼 - That must be physically and mentally tiring if that's the case.

🌙🪼 - Yeah, but it's ok. I'm used to it.

🌼 - Ok..... Any classmates in particular you've taken a bit of liking to?

🌙🪼 - Romantically or platonically?

🌼 - Both!

🌙🪼 - Ok, well.....There's Elsiya, the Ultimate Priestess and Shahin Nareeman, the Ultimate Falconer. They're my best friends. There's also Cecile Thuy, the Ultimate Promoter. I see her as my older sister figure. I think of Luciano Tubig, the Ultimate Deckhand, as a distant cousin figure, since we both came from the Philippines. They are the people I get along the most. As for the romantically part.......well, there is one.

🌼 - Ohhhh~? Pray tell, pray tell! I'll cut this part out from the interview if this is too embarrassing for you to explain. Treat this as a question from a friend.

🌙🪼 - A-alright, I'll keep your word on that....

*Mayari's face became slightly red, and the glow coming from her hair and eyes from earlier reappeared. But this time, it was slightly more evident. Her eyes averted to the side as she took a deep breath before explaining.*

🌙🪼 - I..... have a certain interest in Damon Maitsu, the Ultimate Debator. I can't exactly pinpoint this as a "crush" yet because I doubt he acknowledges the fact that I exist, I see him as a person who's in the league higher than I could ever reach, and I don't even understand why do I have these sort of feelings in the first place or if this is just mistaken for "admiration".

*She takes another deep breath and fan herself a bit to calm down, causing the glow to dim.*

🌙🪼 - And even if I were to consult this to Toshiko, the Ultimate Matchmaker, or any of the people I mentioned before, I doubt that'd end in the good note.....

*The bell from the academy rings out, signaling the two that Mayari's late for class."

🌙🪼 - Ah! The bell! Was that the last question?

🌼 - O-oh! Yes, it was! You can run off now, thank you for your cooperation.

🌙🪼 - Right, thank you for the interview. That actually cleared my worries for a bit, bye then!

*Mayari waved her hand to the interviewer before sprinting off to the academy. She knew that she might be reprimanded for being late, but she didn't care at the moment and smiled to herself. Because it was as she said to the interviewer, talking about her life at the academy cleared a fragment of her worries.*

[ Mayari's hair and eyes glow in white and blue, expressing her conflicting emotions ]

"Well, I'm doing...... okay, for the most part. Hazel and I are just exploring around the academy while checking up on everyone."

"What about you, Ozzie? Are you....okay?"

"Got wifi here...but we can only contact each other on this "tumblr" thing, eh? Weird, but it's fine, I guess."

"Anyone else see this?"
