"Alright guys!" Aisu addressed the group of daemians before her, "The word got around about daemons, right? That's why you're here. We're gonna try to make them corporeal! But we need to create a spell to do it. If you have an idea... please speak up!"
The Room of Requirement was perfect for the occasion. There were comfortable chairs and bean bags all around for people to lounge on as they thought up ideas. Bookshelves lined the walls, stuffed with spellbooks and books about the concept of daemons (including the Golden Compass and its sequels.). The group that had assembled, though small, was a pretty smart bunch; they had kids from first to seventh year.
Aisu was standing at the front of the room, backed up to a beautiful stained glass window with the glittering image of an animal, which would change every few minutes. Across from her, on the opposite end of the room, was the exit door, massive and dungeon-like.
Pyth, stationed behind her, was staring at the beautiful window, which presently changed to the image of an Arctic Fox. He grinned his foxy-smile and sat down to watch it change some more.
All these people, come together for one purpose... This was either a really good idea or a really bad idea. [/color] Oh, it'll be fine.[/color][/blockquote]

Chickory was seated on a rather squishy beanbag that had the look and texture of well-worn jeans. Nobody was in any particular order. People just kinda sat next to each other if they recognized them. She hadn't seen really anyone who she was friends with, yet, although she was vaguely familiar with everybody.
Therefore, she sat by nobody.
She hadn't arrived at the meeting with Liam, but she didn't know if he was late or just amid all the others. Sighing, she hoped he would be here soon anyways.
I highly doubt that. He'd be the last to socialize. Izzy said from her lap, as he was sprawled across it, lounging until the meeting began.
"Hey, don't be mean." she scolded aloud, then shoved him off her lap. Izzy tumbled to the floor, and got up looking angry. Chickory stuck out her tongue at him, and he jumped forward and licked her face, which was really cold.
"Gee thanks." she grumbled while Izzy cackled at her.
Aisu started her opening statement and all the others quieted down immediately.
Chickory thought a minute. She should wait for some of the other daemians to speak before she busted out the 'big idea'.

Ella flounced down the hall, looking as if she was holding an invisible hand. Well, more of dragging the owner of that invivble hand.
And that she was.
The owner of that hand was one rather unhappy Gerard, who was reminding her for probably the fifth time, that she wasn't really doing anything by dragging him, as he wasn't solid, and therefore could easily slip his hand away. The response? The usual, an icy glare then a grin and something about her being in charge. Then the topic would change.
If one listened closely enough to the girl who was muttering to herself, they'd hear something about a boy named Aaron, and how she felt she was making him more social, not to mention much happier, and helping his self esteem. Probably something about how soon he wouldn't be depressed anymore, as she figured he was because no one that hot was happy.
And although her reasoning and thought process was completely off, the girl was content to chatter on and on, while her daemon was 'pulled' silently behind her.
Finally, they reached their destination, Ella flounced into the large people-filled room and waved happily at no one in particular. "I'm here!" She announced.
Gerard raised an eyebrow at her questioningly, "You?"
Ella glanced at him, then corrected herself. "We're here!"

Aisu waved at Ella, saying, "Welcome~ How's Gee doing?" They'd spoken before, of course, and were already friends.
---
Meanwhile, Aaron was walking silently towards the room of requirement, Liora, still the unknown black and white creature, padding along behind him. He'd skipped dinner, as he'd planned, and gone to the library to check the internet. No luck, of course - he had no name or clues to the creature, so nothing was found.
Liam was up ahead of him, also a little late, and when he realized that Aaron was walking behind him he slowed so the black-haired boy could catch up. Now walking side by side, he spoke, "I guess you really were feeling bad? I didn't see you at dinner."
Aaron was a little startled by Liam's voice breaking the perfect silence, but he answered shortly: "Yes."
...The conversation had ended with its first reply. Liam didn't say anything after that, slightly amused.
Better hurry, or you'll be as late as you were this morning!
Grimacing at her words, he picked up pace, and Aaron did the same, though unsure why. Soon the two boys had entered the room, and were looking around curiously by the entrance.

Chickory had looked up when Ella walked in. Then she sort of waved and said a quiet hello. But, only a few seconds after that, Liam and Aaron arrived.
Liam! He was here at last! Happily, she got to her feet and walked up to the pair of daemians.
"Hey, you guys! So glad you came!" She said, grinning at them both.
Oh so happy to see your new boyfriend. Her daemon said, smirking up at her in his usual doggy fashion.
'Shut up....he isn't my boyfriend....I think....' she thought to him, somewhat blushing.
He just sat there with the same look on his face.

Ella smirked in Gerard's direction and put her arm around his shoulder, yanking him closer. She dropped her arm as he began rubbing at the joint and glaring at her. "Gerard? Oh, he's being... good?" She laughed lightly, and heard a voice behind her. It was Chickory.
Her eyes followed where she was looking, and saw an Aaron. A smile broke out across her face, but she corrected it with a more blank look on her face, that turned to a slight frown. She turned back to Aisu and gave her a weak smile.
In the short time it had taken Ella to turn, look at Aaron, and turn back, Gerard had retreated to a corner, and slid down the wall to sit with his knees pulled to his chest. "I don't think he's going to be much of a help though." She sighed emotionlessly, "I'm not gonna take any more of your time," she stated and walked over to sit with Gerard in his corner.

Rather confused by Ella's sudden moodswing, Aisu just waved at her friend and surveyed the group again. People were giving out their suggestions to each other and planning amongst themselves - no need for her to interfere.
"Hey, Chickory," greeted Liam, smiling slightly at his friend.
Tell the dog I said hi. said Zephania.
"Zeph says hi to you both," 'translated' Liam pointedly.
Aaron didn't say anything, just looking around at the room. He spotted the stained-glass window and was surprised to see that at the exact moment he'd laid eyes on it, it changed itself into the image of his daemon's unique form.
"Oh, it's an Absol!" said Aisu from the other side of the room, smiling at the picture,"I wonder who has that daemon!"
...Absol?
Go, love, go see what it is! Liora sounded very excited as she pressed on towards Aisu. Aaron followed, curious.
"Oh, hey Aaron," said Aisu when he stopped a few feet away from her.
"What's an Absol?" he blurted out immediately, barely cutting her off.
She stared at him blankly. "Oh, it's a Pokemon. The one on the glass - wait, it's yours?"
"S-Shei's been one since I found her," he explained quietly. A Pokemon? He vaguely remembered some of the creatures from the show he'd watched in his childhood... before his life had fallen to pieces. But... he couldn't remember ever seeing this particular one.
"That's awesome," said Aisu, clearly amazed, "Pyth sometimes turns into Pokemon or Digimon, but he's really an Arctic Fox. Usually daemons don't settle as imaginary creatures like that - but you could be one of the exceptions. If she's not really an Absol, she might try to turn into a real animal sometime."
"I... dunno." mumbled Aaron, gazing at Liora, who was beaming back at him.
"Well, good luck with that!" said Aisu, smiling earnestly, "If you need help or something, you can ask me."
Aaron nodded once, backing away from the girl and going to stand by the wall, other side of the room from Ella's corner.

She so digs me. Izzy crowed inside of Adelaide head, tail wagging furiously. With an unlikely cat-like gesture, he licked the pad of his paw and brushed it back over his head.
It took a lot of self control to keep from laughing at that.
'Your so into yourself.' Adelaide pointed out icily.
No, I'm just an imaginary dog guy that likes a hot vulture chick.
Dumbstruck, she looked down at him. "You haven't even seen her before, you idiot!" she practically yelled at him. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that it was out loud.
He shrugged. Hey, you like Liam. And you just yelled at me. Izzy reminded her, swishing his tail through her leg.
Looking back, she saw several people looking at her strangely, then look elsewhere for a second, and go back to their conversations. Silently, she cursed her bad luck.
She looked back up to Liam, smiling sheepishly. "Sorry about that. Anyways, there are some beanie bags over there." Adelaide pointed, just to make sure he knew where they were.

Somehow, Zephania put it together faster than Liam did - Izzy must have said he liked her.
You can assure them I'm gorgeous.
Liam ignored both her and Chickory's outburst, and followed the girl to the bean bags, looking back at Aaron. Of course, he was no longer there, so he just shrugged it off and guessed that the black-haired boy had gone to explore the room. ( Would he socialize? Highly unlikely. )

Once they were seated, Chickory played with her hands with a tinge of nervousness. She looked over at him and grinned.
"So, uh..." she searched, "You gonna do anything later?"
Ha ha. As he would want to do anything with me. I'm such a loser. Chickory thought, biting her lip slightly.
Izzy rolled his eyes and placed his head on her lap.

A loser? Hardly. In fact, Liam thought the same thing. He couldn't believe a girl would ask him to do anything with her...
"Uh, no, I'm not. Got any ideas?"
Hopefully she'd come up with something, and then they could hang out... he liked hanging out with her. Maybe enough to consider dating her...? Not that he'd ever dated anyone before.
Zephania just watched the exchange with narrowed eyes, though in her thoughts she was 'smiling.'

Chickory tucked a bit of hair behind her ear nervously.
"We could....um....talk about books...what do you like?" she asked, feeling the tips of her fingers sweat.
Oh so sweet. A nerd convention.

"Sounds like a plan," said Liam with a faint grin. He didn't really know what to say to that - but it was a start. They could talk about books, read books, whatever. Then maybe they would find other things to do?
This is gonna be hilarious.

"But," Started Chickory with a big grin. "Do you like Mudkips?"
Izzy did a doggy face-palm and yelled. OH MY--....YOU ACTUALLY ASKED HIM THAT?!
'Of course,' she replied in her mind. 'one can't be too careful about these things.'
