**Whisper** · October 27th, 2011, 11:44 PM

Whisper has made a lot of improvements since she's come to the house, but they've all been pretty small things. However, Skull seemed to really understand her for one reason or another and read her like a book, which made him able to try and help her, or at least get through to her that it is okay to be more open.

[16:47] * Skull wore a somber expression as he walked down the hallway, searching the nameplates for a 'Whisper Princeton'. He'd recieved a phone call from the school, that being the reason for the sudden search. It seems she had skipped gym...well whatever the reason he'd find out shortly as he finally loacated and stood before the door showing her golden nameplate. Skull wore a simple faded pair
[16:47] * Skull of blue jeans, along with a short-sleeved black shirt with a grinning skull on it, his usual wear really. Taking a breath he finally knocked upon the girls door. He hadn't met the girl before now either, so it'd be an introduction of sorts, a fine way to have one.
[16:52] * Whisper was sitting up on her bed, her history book and notes spread out all around it as she held flash cards, a hight lighter, and pens. She had a very strict way of studying, and that applied heavily to history as she was determined to always do well in that class as it was her favorite. She'd heard of other skipping class before, and it wasn't like she'd skipped an important one. She was also quiet, and often times was pushed to the side of the class, barely participating because she didn't like it, and especially didn't like the agressiveness many of the others in her class showed. She had changed from her uniform into a comfotable pair of sweatpants and a thermal tee, to keep herself warm. When she heard the knock on her door, she carefully got up out of her notes and went to the door, opening it and blinking up at the stranger at it. "H-hello?" She asked as she was quite confused.
[17:02] * Skull sighed a bit before softly smiling down at Whisper, looking into her room as well as he did. Hmm she seemed to be a pretty hard worker...he could tell that much. "Ah, Whisper correct? Well I should think so, unless someone else has that name plaqued up outside their door. Anyway, you mind if I come in? I need to talk to you about something, oh and i'll introduce myself as well.
[17:02] * Skull I'm Skull. Or that's the name everyone calls me at least. A fond nickname. I'm a new caretaker here at the mansion." He explained to the obviously confused girl as he extended an arm to shake while waiting to be led inside.
[17:07] * Whisper didn't let the sigh escape her notice, and though some of her confusion was waned from his introduction, she didn't have a clue what reason he could possibly have for wanting to talk to her of all people. She also noticed he seemed a bit young as a caretaker, but despite the skull on his shirt, as well as that being his nickname, he seemed generally nice. She gently took the hand and gave it a small shake, then let go, moving out of the door way and going to her bed to clear it off a bit, neatening up her notes as she said to him, "Yes, I'm Whisper. Let me just clear off... my bed a bit... I'm sorry, I have a... big test coming up, so... my rooms a little... out of order. It's nice to meet you... Skull." She said slowly but surely, thinking through every word that left her mouth as she normally does.
[17:19] <Skull> "I see..." Skull noted as he stepped into the room with her, slowly shutting the door behind them for privacy. He also noticed the general manner about her, she seemed to be a quiet girl, well from what he could tell. "Likewise, a pleasure to meet you Whisper. Wish it was...under...different circumstances though. Huh, you're a pretty dedicated studier aren't you? Don't apologize,
[17:19] <Skull> nothing wrong with striving to do well. I hope you do well on that test Whisper, from what I can see you'll ace it. Now then...that's not what i'm here about though." Skull said, finally beginning to get down to business on what he'd came there for. He reached down into his pocket as Whisper cleaned off her bed, pulling out the note he'd written about the call. "I got a call from
[17:19] <Skull> your school Whisper. You were not in gym, but in all the classes before and after. So...what happened?"
[17:28] * Whisper finished neatening her bed and then noticed he had closed the door behind himself as he came in... and her heart sunk. She had the faintest inkling of a possibity of why this man she had never met would be looking for her and even coming to her room to find her. She listened silently as he spoke, and as he said he'd recieved a call from the school about her, her face paled a little and she looked slightly horror-stricken, her stomach knotting itself up. She looked away from him and to her note sitting on her bed in neat piles, saying in a voice just above the volume that matched her name, "I-I'm sorry. I just... I mean... I d-didn't meant anything... I just..." She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before starting again. "I really want to... do well on this test. I-I didn't think that... anyone would notice if I... wasn't at gym. I mean... I'm not very good... at sports and... I'm really quiet. S-so I didn't think... I just wanted the... extra time to s-study for the test." She still refused to look at him, her shame obvious on her face that she had landed herself in trouble once again. "I-I'm really... sorry."

[18:03] * Skull slowly walked over to Whisper, gently placing a hand on her should as he looked down at her. He didn't seem to be particularly upset or angry. Instead reflected in his eyes was a sense of calmness as he attempted to bring the girl out of her distress. "Hey, look at me Whisper. Let's have a little chat for a moment, okay? Just calm down and tell me about it. What do you mean they
* Skull wouldn't notice? Sure, you're a bit quiet, but hardly invisible. I mean, I sure notice you. ^^ Hmm...all to study huh? Can't really get upset at that, though surely there were better options than skipping gym? I can understand not liking it, we've all had classes like that, but that doesn't make it any less important. Couldn't you have asked someone to help you study? I'm sure someone here
[18:03] * Skull would be glad to, I'd probably offer even." Skull suggested softly, giving Whisper a gentle smile as he tried to talk her out of hiding herself like that. She seemed to certainly seemed to recognize that she'd done something wrong, he could tell that. Well that made a part of it easier at least.
[18:11] * Whisper looked at him for a moment, as he asked, but then looked down at the ground, not wanting to meet his eyes any longer. She knew quite well that what she had done was wrong, but she hadn't thought that she'd get caught for this. She quite honestly thought no one would notice. As he said that people in the house would surely be willing to help her, she said, "Oh, no, I... don't need help. Not... in history, at least. I get the help I need... for the class I need it i-in." She once again took a deep breath to continue on, but this in and of itself was improvement from when she'd first gotten to the house. She would never have explained a thing before! "I know I'm not... invisible, but, I mean... I hardly do anything... in that class anyways. Not that I mind... but so, I figured... since I am good... at history, then maybe... I should use that time... productively, instead of wasting it... being ignored." She explained painstakingly slowly, wanting this person she'd just met to understand.
[21:23] <Skull> "Hmm, I understand where you were coming from with this Whisper, I do. But that doesn't change the fact of what you did. You shouldn't skip a class, no matter how unimportant it feels to you. Gym is important Whisp, and if you're bad in it, then wouldn't the class you need to work harder in be just that, gym? Strive to do your best at your worst huh? Make yourself seen, you should
[21:23] <Skull> speak up a bit if you feel ignored. You know, don't let 'em ignore you." Skull pressed on, his voice booming as he spoke. He clearly wanted to instill a bit of confidence in the quiet girl, though whether he could or not remained to be seen. Still he would have to deal with the main reason he was here sooner or later, but he wanted to hear something specific first.
[21:28] * Whisper still couldn't look at him, and she winced a bit at the volume of his voice, a few tears prickling at the courners of her eyes. She didn't really know what to think of what he said. It was true that Gym was her lowest grade, and the only reason it wasn't last year was because she had another class she did worse in, and she knew how that had worked out. But still... "I-I don't... honestly mind being ignored... in that class. I mean... I'm not really good... at any sports... a-and it's not like... I do't try to, or anything! But... I'm really not... very loud... and so I just... always get looked over. But I'm okay with that. I spent a long time... before I came here, at least... to make it so. And at this point... I don't know how to... do anything else." And there it was, out in the open. She really had become so much more of an open book than she had ever been before."
[21:45] * Skull sighed before glancing sadly down at Whisper, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze as she told him a bit more about herself. Huh...this would be hard after all. But Skull wasn't giving up! "Huh...but you should Whisper. You shouldn't be content in being overlooked, you gotta look out for yourself sometimes. I understand why you can't yet though. Hmm...well we're a bit off topic
[21:45] * Skull anyway. Whisper. You should not have skipped Gym. Regardless of your thoughts on it, and why you did it, it's still an important class I expect you to try your best in. You understand that and whats gotta happen right?" He asked, heaving a long sigh before giving a serious look at Whisper, all business now.
[21:51] * Whisper finally looked up at Skull finally, taking a deep, heaving breath of air as she thought about that. He... was right after all, wasn't he? She didn't have to fade in to protect herself. She'd come very far in her year at the Faust Mansion, but... it seemed she still had more to work through. More than she would have realized on her own. "I guess... I don't have to... hide anymore, do I? I know I'm safe here... but I guess a part... of me was still... living in the past." She quickly sombered up, however, when he began to alude to her punishment, and the knot in her stomach just about doubled in size as she nodded her head gently, not voicing what she and he both knew was to come.
[22:03] * Skull gave Whisper a quick smile before patting her on the shoulder and moving to sit down on her bed. Seems perhaps he could get through to her a bit after all. "That's right, you don't have to hide. Myself, James and Claire, everyone in this house is here for ya Whisper. And I guarantee you're safe. I may be new here, infact I still feel like a complete stranger, but i've seen that
[22:03] * Skull much already. So, living in the present won't be so bad huh?" He asked, though he quickly remembered what the present included. "Ah...well maybe this specific present will be a bit rough, but things will always get better afterwards. Now, i'm afraid i'm gonna have to punish you for what you did Whisper, understand?"
[22:08] * Whisper nodded gently as he reassured her that what she was thinking and had said was true. She needed to let go of her past and finally let it get through to her that her present, if nothing else, was more care. Because she was cared for. And that was why she had to be punished, and she understood that and... looked forward to it, in a way. It hurt terribly when it was happening, but the feeling of forgiveness was something she never wanted to not recieve again. "I understand... Skull." She waited, standing rigidly as she waited for him to instruct her on what to do from here.
[22:24] * Skull nodded softly before slowly extending his arm to Whisper. "Good, then there's no reason to linger on things. Come here Whisper, i'm going to take you over my lap for a spanking. It'll hurt, but then you'll be all forgiven. So, let's just get right to it." Skull spoke calmly as he waited for Whisper to take his arm.
[22:27] * Whisper hesitated for only a moment before she took his arm, wincing a bit as he told her that he was going to spank her, and that it was definitely going to hurt. But still, she did her best to stay strong, though she was already going silent, and she was sure to be so for as long as she could stay so, as was her way.
[22:46] * Skull slowly pulled Whisper over to him, guiding the girl onto the bed and across his lap as he did. He then placed an arm gently atop her back to keep her in place, as his other hand rested atop her clothed bottom. "Alright Whisper, i'm gonna get right to it, so get ready." He warned, before giving the girl a moment to find a position to get semi-comfortable in. Then without further
[22:46] * Skull ado he raised his arm up high, before sharply bringing it down against the center of her backside. He snapped his wrist right at the bottom of the swing to add a bit of extra oomph to the the spank, then quickly raised it for the next.
[22:51] * Whisper went stiff over his lap, squirming a bit with the nerves for the spanking that was going to come, and that she knew he wouldn't go easy on her with. But then again, she wouldn't have wanted that. As he warned her that he was going to start, she stopped squirming and went completely still, waiting very breifly for the first spank to fall. And fall it did, and hard. She jolted, but didn't make a sound, nor a move to get away from however many more he wished to deliver to her, getting back into the exact possition she was when he started.
[23:02] * Skull quickly settled into a rhythm, spanking Whisper's bottom with quick, hard smacks that switched between left and right and back again. These one's that followed were not as hard as the first, but a sure sign that the punishment to come would be a long one. Still Skull was proud to see her take it so well, noting her do her best to stay in position after each spank.
[23:07] * Whisper still held the ideal that if she were still and silent, then she wouldn't be punished as harshly. She kept herself still as the spanks continued on. Though they were gentler than the first, she could feel the heat in her behind starting to build up, but it wasn't too bad yet, and she had surely had much worse in the past. She was completely silent and still at this point, keeping her resolve for now.
[23:19] * Skull suddenly ceased the spanking, a thought coming to his mind the more he watched Whisper and recalled what she said. "Oi, Whisper. The reason you're being quiet now, is it the same as what you told me a few minutes ago? This is certainly one of those times where you don't need to be quiet. In fact i'd say crying out helps alot more than being quiet. I thought we discussed this, you
[23:19] * Skull don't have to hide how you feel. If it hurts, cry out, express how YOU feel Whisper. Don't keep it all bottled up in you, that's no good for you." He said, keeping his tone calm as he gently rubbed her backside. She needed to get better on expressing herself, and this was as good a time as any to try and push it a bit. He didn't intend to try too much though. As he rubbed he suddenly
[23:19] * Skull raised his palm back up, before bringing it down on her bottom surprisingly, in similar fashion to the first spank.
[23:27] * Whisper was quite surprised when the spanking abruptly came to a stop, and she blinked as he spoke to her, telling her it was okay to cry out during the spanking. She'd always kept it in her mind that crying, making noise, squirming, would be punished more harshly than if she were completely still and silent. But was the really true here? She thought about that and realized... that it wasn't. When she cried during a spanking, more often than not, it actually seemed to bring the end closer. She never got the chance to say anything before the next, harder spank fell, and a small, mewling noise escaped her mouth. She froze up for a moment, waiting to see what would happen now. She didn't think he would suddenly turn on her, but... she could never be sure.
[23:37] * Skull gave a small smile as his hand began to gently rub at Whispers bottom again, glad to have gotten a legitimate response this time. "Oh, seems that hurt. See, now I can tell what you're feeling. I'm not gonna eat you or hurt you for expressing yourself Whisper. Let people know how you feel, and they'll react to it. See if you'd stayed quiet then...how would I ever know you felt
[23:37] * Skull pain? Nothing bad is going to happen to you for crying out like that, I can promise you. Now I am going to start spanking you again, you are going to yelp and squirm and cry and all that, and i'll know when to stop, alright? We're gonna get some confidence in you yet Whisper." Skull said as he resumed the punishing rhythm he'd used before, raining down crisp spanks to the back of her
[23:37] * Skull seat. Skull had...an odd way of doing most things, as Whisper could probably tell, but he did know what he was talking usually.
[23:46] * Whisper ... had no idea what to think. Yes, she had told him a little, but he also seemed to be able to read her better than she'd ever been read in her life, and though it slightly scared her that he could... she also felt just a small sense of relief. Like she could finally just... leti it all go, like it was okay to let it all go. And that she'd be supported all the way through if she did. As he resumed the rhythmic spanking, she did start to let out small noises of pain, and tears began to well in her eyes as well. She was still relatively still, but it was for a different reason than before. She wanted to make this as easy for him as possible, because at this point he had helped her, and even if it only made a small change, it would be a good change for her.
* Skull noticed the difference quite well, giving a slight nod as he finally began to focus on the task at hand. That being to heat Whisper's backside beneath those sweatpants. He continued to spank fast and fairly hard, keep to the same left-to-right pattern to keep the sting spread evenly. Now he wasn't so worried about Whisper since she expressed herself a bit, though he definitely wanted
[15:25] * Skull to work with her more on that subject. There'd be time for that later however, as now he simply peppered that bottom with fierce smacks for a good minute or so more. Then the spanking suddenly stopped, although he was not done yet. "That's enough of a warm-up I believe, you're taking this very well so far. That at least shows that you understand you shouldn't have done what you did. Now,
[15:25] * Skull don't be alarmed but i'm going to go to the next step Whisper, i'm going to pull your sweatpants down." Skull warned in advance before reaching into the waistband of her pants. With one swift motion then he pulled them down her legs, leaving them bunched at her ankles.
[15:59] * Whisper was definitly starting to feel the heat in her backside growing more and more with each spank, and though it was starting to really sting, she knew she deserved more, probably a lot more at that as what she had done was sort of a serious offense. She continued to make small noises of pain as he spanked her slothed bottom, and her legs started to push against the floor as if it distract her from the pain. When he paused, she let out a small sigh of relief, but she squirmed a tad be uncomfotably as he told her was going to pull her pants down, and that he did, until they were pooled around her ankles on the floor. She nodded her head to convey that she understood what he was doing.
[16:18] * Skull wasted no time in continuing, raising his arm right back up as he took aim at her panty-clad backside. When his hand fell he started an entirely different pattern, spanking both hard and fast entirely at random spots across her bottom. He flicked his wrist at the end of every single smack to add a bit of extra sting to it as he set Whisper's bottom alight. "Oi Whisper. Remind me,
[16:18] * Skull why are you being punished here?" He asked, though he continued to spank her just as he had been, covering her bottom entirely while awaiting her response. He was glad that he might have helped her to open up a bit, however he still needed to make sure she understood entirely what the punishment was for.
[16:23] * Whisper let out a gasp of pain as he started to spank her now less protected bottom with swift and hard spanks, but unlike before, she had no idea where they could be landing next. The tears that had been welling in her eyes started to spill over, but only at a small trickle for now. Her bottom swayed from side to side ever so slightly, and she did her best to listen to what he was asking of her, taking a few gulping breaths before answering, "F-for skipping Gym class." She answered difficultly through the continuing spanks.
[16:35] * Skull nodded solemnly, though he didn't let up one bit on the punishing spanks that blazed across Whispers bottom. "That's right. I'm very disappointed in you Whisp. You knew better than to skip, even if your reason was to study for a test. All of your classes are important, not just the one's you like. I don't ever want to find out about you skipping any of your classes again Whisper,
[16:35] * Skull you understand me?" Skull asked yet again, temporarily moving his focus to Whisper's lower bottom and sitspots as he sternly scolded her.
[16:40] * Whisper felt her heart sink a bit as it really hit her that she had disappointed him, even if she'd only just met him. That was the one thing that she never, ever meant to do. She never wanted to disappoint anyone, but it seemed that from time to time she did. She nodded her head to show her understanding as his spanks shifted lower and onto the more sensitive area of her bottom. She took a firm hold onto his pantleg to try to distract herself from the pain, but more so to make sure she didn't think of trying to reach back as he thouroughly peppered her bottom and sitspots with firm spanks, more tears pouring down her cheeks as small cries continued to fall from her lips.
[17:00] * Skull paused the spanking again suddenly, looking around the room for...oh, that would work ironically. He leaned over just a bit and picked up a big, hard cover book. "This'll work just fine. Alright Whisp, i'm going to start to finish this up. These panties will hafta come down though. A punishment like this has to be on the bare to make sure the lesson sticks." Skull explained,
[17:00] * Skull setting the book off the side in front of Whisper so he could reach into the waistband of her panties. One moment later and they had joined her pants at her ankle, leaving her bright pink bottom bare and on display.
[17:06] * Whisper was relieved that the spanking had taken yet another pause, but she was still shaking a bit over his knees even though he was no longer spanking her. When he seemed to find something to his liking, she opened her eyes a bit as she felt it places down in front of her. It was one of her favorite, for it had a lot of details about her new found history obsession, Joan of Arc. However, at this moment, she wished some of the details were cut down... She burried her face in the bed as she knew this next, finishing part of her spanking was likely to be the worst. She could barely imagine how much that heavy, detailed book would hurt her poor, now bare backside. She knew if her backside wasn't red yet, it would be by the time he was through with her.
[17:13] * Skull immediately picked the book back up, having only placed it there to give the girl an idea of what was to come. He wasn't sure how effective the book would be actually, but he didn't see any reason it wouldn't. He set the heavy hard-covered book against Whispers already tender bottom, wanting to give her another moment before he began. Then he raised the book up high in the air,
[17:13] * Skull thinking that they would find out the books ability as an impliment, as he swung it hard against Whisper's bottom like a paddle.
[17:18] * Whisper wouldn't have believed Skull is he had said he didn't know how effective the book would be when forced to smack against her poor, hurting bottom. The first sob escaped her lips and she burried deeper into the blankets on her bed, her hands taking a tighter hold on his leg as her bottom squirmed ceaselessly, the pain going very deep. Normally this would be the point that she would start apologizing to her spanker, but she couldn't find her voice under her cries and rivering tears, so she simply continued to do so, though trying to muffle them in the blankets on her bed.
[17:32] * Skull didn't need any apologies to tell Whisper was feeling sorry, though he expected he'd hear them after it was all over. Still the book had gotten a satisfactory reaction, so he was assured it would do. He swiftly raised the book right back up before crashing it down once more against her sore backside, the impact giving her cheeks a good bounce as more color was added. He continued
[17:32] * Skull as such, slowly paddling her bottom good with that book, as her cheeks reddened with smack.
[17:36] * Whisper was sure to give them afterwards, but at the moment she was too upset to form any idea of a thought in her head as the book was brought down on her reddening backside again and again and again. The page count was high in the book, and she felt like she could feel each and every one as the book was paddled against her bare backside. She cried her little heart out over his knees as she slowly stopped moving, losing the energy to even give herself that little bit of distraction, the grip on his pantleg losening as well as she completely and totally gave over to the spanking she was getting.
[17:49] * Skull saw how Whisper had finally reached her limit, stopping the book not far afterwards. Her bottom was a nice, vibrant red now and she certainly seemed to have learned a good lesson from all this. Nonetheless Skull was going to make absolutely sure she had as he paused only to speak once more. "Alright Whisper, we're about through. Now, I don't ever want to hear about you skipping
[17:49] * Skull a class again, do you understand me? If I do, you can expect to be going right back over my knee for a harder punishment. I don't enjoy spanking you like this, but your classes are too important to skip, doesn't matter the reason. I hope this has taught you that." Skull scolded before raising the book back up high in the air. He then delivered five final whacks, each harder than the one's
[17:49] * Skull before, to finalize the punishment.
[17:56] * Whisper had definitely reached just that as she felt as if all the little fight in her had been knocked right out, and she wanted nothing more than for this terrible spanking to finally be over so she could finally be forgiven for skipping her class. Once he had paused and spoke to her again, she nodded her head up and down, crying out a soft. "I-I-I... understand, S-Skull." She braced herself for the end of her spanking, knowing that however many there were, they were likely to be the hardest. And the hardest they were, as she cried out heavy sobs as the final five were applied to her bright red backside, still sobbing even after they were done, her bottom pulsing with the pain of them.
[18:13] * Skull softened his expression as he finally set the book down off to the side, reaching down and gently helping Whisper off of his lap. Immediately he pulled her into a tight hug, softly rubbing her back to help calm her down. "There now, it's all over Whisp. I'm proud of ya, you took your punishment very well. You're forgiven now, so just take all the time you need to calm down alright?
[18:13] * Skull Let it all out, no one will blame or hurt you for expressing how you feel after all." Skull spoke calmly as he held Whisper tight, softly petting her hair until she could calm down.
[18:20] * Whisper was still crying when he pulled her up off of his lap and into his arms. As soon as he had pulled her into a hug, she burried her face in his shoulder, crying into it still pretty hardly, but not so much from the spanking itself. Yes, it had been a very hard on, but she had also had worse. No, she was crying so hard more so due to how truely badly she felt for what she had done, and for the fact that he had taken the time to really understand her actions, even if he didn't agree with them. And he'd taken the time to get to know her, at least a little. When he said he forgave her, her tears and cries slowly slowed down until they were no more than a sinlge tear here, a small cry there came from her. She then finally, softly spoke a few, small words. "I'm... sorry, Skull. Thank you... for taking such good... care of m-me."
[18:40] * Skull continued to hold Whisper tightly in his arms, grinning down at her as she spoke to signify the tought part being entirely over. "Hey, no problem Whisp. That's what i'm here for huh? And i'll be around whenever you need me as well. Hopefully not just in situations where you're in trouble, as i'd love to just hang with you sometimes. Just no more skipping classes alright? And don't
[18:40] * Skull forget what I told you either, have a bit more confidence in and express yourself more. Thinking about other people is nice and all, but sometimes you need to think for yourself, people won't hate you for it here. There's no reason you should have to worry about others thoughts so much you neglect your own." Skull replied gently as he slowly released his hold around Whisper finally, taking
[18:40] * Skull a step back to grin down at her.
[18:49] * Whisper nodded gently as he spoke to her and still held her, feeling very well punished, but also very much so forgiven for her transgression. "I promise I won't... ever skip class again. And... I'd like to... h-hang out with you too. I'm sure it would... be a lot more fun... th-than this." She joked a little dryly as her tears and cries finally came to a stop. She didn't comment on the rest of what he said, however, because she really didn't know what to say. What she did know, however, was that she wanted to prove to him that she could improve herself in that way, and that his actions and words were for nothing. Thinking about it for a moment, she said, "Thank you, Skull... for everything. Right now... I feel well cared about... though also a bit... pained." She gave him a small smile of her own as she reached to fix her clothing and put it all back in place. Then, ever so softly, she did say, "I'll try... and be more open... about how I feel. I'll... try my best."
[19:09] <Skull> "Heh, i'm sure it will be more fun as well. I'll be sure to stop be every now and then, though you know you should leave the room every now and then. Studying's good but i'm sure people would like to see ya more. Besides being around lots of people will help you I think, of course i'll do what I can as well. Thanks for hearing me out about all that Whisper, I hope you can change things
[19:09] <Skull> . And i'm sure you won't skip again, after all you don't want history to come back and bite you in the butt again, so to speak huh?" Skull replied teasingly before giving Whisper another short hug and softly ruffling her hair. In a way Skull was glad he'd came here today, though he still wished the circumstances had been different. Ever since he came to the house he'd felt more like a
[19:09] <Skull> stranger or as though he was intruding. Whisper had helped him in a few ways as well, though one's less noticable. He smiled back at her for just a moment more before deciding he'd bugged her enough for one day, and besides he needed to check on things everywhere else. "Well i'll get out of your hair for now Whisp, so you can get back to studying. Next time I come you can tell me all
[19:09] <Skull> about how you aced that history quiz huh? Oh, and as long as you do your best in it, that'll be fine with me but...try and do a bit better in gym as well huh? Who knows, maybe you'll have more fun if you participate a bit more." Skull added as he turned to exit the room, walking slowly to the door before waving back at Whisper as a farewell.
[19:22] * Whisper found that Skull seemed to have a lot of advice for her, and she really appreciated it all. It was all stuff that she had been wanting to work on for so long, but she could never seem to figure out just how to do it. But something about a caretaker telling her this was all okay, even though she was getting older, spoke volumes to the quiet girl. "I'll try and not... stayed holed up as... much. B-but, I mean it is... a bit hard with... the pressure of applying... to colleges coming up. I have to be... sure to do my best." She thought about that for a moment and something seemed to click in her head along those lines. "I guess that colleges... would want to see... a good grade... in gym to. So I guess I... should try and participate... more and bring up... that grade too." She nodded her head when he asked her to tell him how her history test goes, and that no matter the grade, he'd be proud of her for trying her best. She watched as he left her room, waving back to him in a similar fashion.

Posts: 919	Skull Breaks Through to Whisper Whisper has made a lot of improvements since she's come to the house, but they've all been pretty small things. However, Skull seemed to really understand her for one reason or another and read her like a book, which made him able to try and help her, or at least get through to her that it is okay to be more open. [16:47] * Skull wore a somber expression as he walked down the hallway, searching the nameplates for a 'Whisper Princeton'. He'd recieved a phone call from the school, that being the reason for the sudden search. It seems she had skipped gym...well whatever the reason he'd find out shortly as he finally loacated and stood before the door showing her golden nameplate. Skull wore a simple faded pair [16:47] * Skull of blue jeans, along with a short-sleeved black shirt with a grinning skull on it, his usual wear really. Taking a breath he finally knocked upon the girls door. He hadn't met the girl before now either, so it'd be an introduction of sorts, a fine way to have one. [16:52] * Whisper was sitting up on her bed, her history book and notes spread out all around it as she held flash cards, a hight lighter, and pens. She had a very strict way of studying, and that applied heavily to history as she was determined to always do well in that class as it was her favorite. She'd heard of other skipping class before, and it wasn't like she'd skipped an important one. She was also quiet, and often times was pushed to the side of the class, barely participating because she didn't like it, and especially didn't like the agressiveness many of the others in her class showed. She had changed from her uniform into a comfotable pair of sweatpants and a thermal tee, to keep herself warm. When she heard the knock on her door, she carefully got up out of her notes and went to the door, opening it and blinking up at the stranger at it. "H-hello?" She asked as she was quite confused. [17:02] * Skull sighed a bit before softly smiling down at Whisper, looking into her room as well as he did. Hmm she seemed to be a pretty hard worker...he could tell that much. "Ah, Whisper correct? Well I should think so, unless someone else has that name plaqued up outside their door. Anyway, you mind if I come in? I need to talk to you about something, oh and i'll introduce myself as well. [17:02] * Skull I'm Skull. Or that's the name everyone calls me at least. A fond nickname. I'm a new caretaker here at the mansion." He explained to the obviously confused girl as he extended an arm to shake while waiting to be led inside. [17:07] * Whisper didn't let the sigh escape her notice, and though some of her confusion was waned from his introduction, she didn't have a clue what reason he could possibly have for wanting to talk to her of all people. She also noticed he seemed a bit young as a caretaker, but despite the skull on his shirt, as well as that being his nickname, he seemed generally nice. She gently took the hand and gave it a small shake, then let go, moving out of the door way and going to her bed to clear it off a bit, neatening up her notes as she said to him, "Yes, I'm Whisper. Let me just clear off... my bed a bit... I'm sorry, I have a... big test coming up, so... my rooms a little... out of order. It's nice to meet you... Skull." She said slowly but surely, thinking through every word that left her mouth as she normally does. [17:19] <Skull> "I see..." Skull noted as he stepped into the room with her, slowly shutting the door behind them for privacy. He also noticed the general manner about her, she seemed to be a quiet girl, well from what he could tell. "Likewise, a pleasure to meet you Whisper. Wish it was...under...different circumstances though. Huh, you're a pretty dedicated studier aren't you? Don't apologize, [17:19] <Skull> nothing wrong with striving to do well. I hope you do well on that test Whisper, from what I can see you'll ace it. Now then...that's not what i'm here about though." Skull said, finally beginning to get down to business on what he'd came there for. He reached down into his pocket as Whisper cleaned off her bed, pulling out the note he'd written about the call. "I got a call from [17:19] <Skull> your school Whisper. You were not in gym, but in all the classes before and after. So...what happened?" [17:28] * Whisper finished neatening her bed and then noticed he had closed the door behind himself as he came in... and her heart sunk. She had the faintest inkling of a possibity of why this man she had never met would be looking for her and even coming to her room to find her. She listened silently as he spoke, and as he said he'd recieved a call from the school about her, her face paled a little and she looked slightly horror-stricken, her stomach knotting itself up. She looked away from him and to her note sitting on her bed in neat piles, saying in a voice just above the volume that matched her name, "I-I'm sorry. I just... I mean... I d-didn't meant anything... I just..." She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before starting again. "I really want to... do well on this test. I-I didn't think that... anyone would notice if I... wasn't at gym. I mean... I'm not very good... at sports and... I'm really quiet. S-so I didn't think... I just wanted the... extra time to s-study for the test." She still refused to look at him, her shame obvious on her face that she had landed herself in trouble once again. "I-I'm really... sorry." [18:03] * Skull slowly walked over to Whisper, gently placing a hand on her should as he looked down at her. He didn't seem to be particularly upset or angry. Instead reflected in his eyes was a sense of calmness as he attempted to bring the girl out of her distress. "Hey, look at me Whisper. Let's have a little chat for a moment, okay? Just calm down and tell me about it. What do you mean they * Skull wouldn't notice? Sure, you're a bit quiet, but hardly invisible. I mean, I sure notice you. ^^ Hmm...all to study huh? Can't really get upset at that, though surely there were better options than skipping gym? I can understand not liking it, we've all had classes like that, but that doesn't make it any less important. Couldn't you have asked someone to help you study? I'm sure someone here [18:03] * Skull would be glad to, I'd probably offer even." Skull suggested softly, giving Whisper a gentle smile as he tried to talk her out of hiding herself like that. She seemed to certainly seemed to recognize that she'd done something wrong, he could tell that. Well that made a part of it easier at least. [18:11] * Whisper looked at him for a moment, as he asked, but then looked down at the ground, not wanting to meet his eyes any longer. She knew quite well that what she had done was wrong, but she hadn't thought that she'd get caught for this. She quite honestly thought no one would notice. As he said that people in the house would surely be willing to help her, she said, "Oh, no, I... don't need help. Not... in history, at least. I get the help I need... for the class I need it i-in." She once again took a deep breath to continue on, but this in and of itself was improvement from when she'd first gotten to the house. She would never have explained a thing before! "I know I'm not... invisible, but, I mean... I hardly do anything... in that class anyways. Not that I mind... but so, I figured... since I am good... at history, then maybe... I should use that time... productively, instead of wasting it... being ignored." She explained painstakingly slowly, wanting this person she'd just met to understand. [21:23] <Skull> "Hmm, I understand where you were coming from with this Whisper, I do. But that doesn't change the fact of what you did. You shouldn't skip a class, no matter how unimportant it feels to you. Gym is important Whisp, and if you're bad in it, then wouldn't the class you need to work harder in be just that, gym? Strive to do your best at your worst huh? Make yourself seen, you should [21:23] <Skull> speak up a bit if you feel ignored. You know, don't let 'em ignore you." Skull pressed on, his voice booming as he spoke. He clearly wanted to instill a bit of confidence in the quiet girl, though whether he could or not remained to be seen. Still he would have to deal with the main reason he was here sooner or later, but he wanted to hear something specific first. [21:28] * Whisper still couldn't look at him, and she winced a bit at the volume of his voice, a few tears prickling at the courners of her eyes. She didn't really know what to think of what he said. It was true that Gym was her lowest grade, and the only reason it wasn't last year was because she had another class she did worse in, and she knew how that had worked out. But still... "I-I don't... honestly mind being ignored... in that class. I mean... I'm not really good... at any sports... a-and it's not like... I do't try to, or anything! But... I'm really not... very loud... and so I just... always get looked over. But I'm okay with that. I spent a long time... before I came here, at least... to make it so. And at this point... I don't know how to... do anything else." And there it was, out in the open. She really had become so much more of an open book than she had ever been before." [21:45] * Skull sighed before glancing sadly down at Whisper, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze as she told him a bit more about herself. Huh...this would be hard after all. But Skull wasn't giving up! "Huh...but you should Whisper. You shouldn't be content in being overlooked, you gotta look out for yourself sometimes. I understand why you can't yet though. Hmm...well we're a bit off topic [21:45] * Skull anyway. Whisper. You should not have skipped Gym. Regardless of your thoughts on it, and why you did it, it's still an important class I expect you to try your best in. You understand that and whats gotta happen right?" He asked, heaving a long sigh before giving a serious look at Whisper, all business now. [21:51] * Whisper finally looked up at Skull finally, taking a deep, heaving breath of air as she thought about that. He... was right after all, wasn't he? She didn't have to fade in to protect herself. She'd come very far in her year at the Faust Mansion, but... it seemed she still had more to work through. More than she would have realized on her own. "I guess... I don't have to... hide anymore, do I? I know I'm safe here... but I guess a part... of me was still... living in the past." She quickly sombered up, however, when he began to alude to her punishment, and the knot in her stomach just about doubled in size as she nodded her head gently, not voicing what she and he both knew was to come. [22:03] * Skull gave Whisper a quick smile before patting her on the shoulder and moving to sit down on her bed. Seems perhaps he could get through to her a bit after all. "That's right, you don't have to hide. Myself, James and Claire, everyone in this house is here for ya Whisper. And I guarantee you're safe. I may be new here, infact I still feel like a complete stranger, but i've seen that [22:03] * Skull much already. So, living in the present won't be so bad huh?" He asked, though he quickly remembered what the present included. "Ah...well maybe this specific present will be a bit rough, but things will always get better afterwards. Now, i'm afraid i'm gonna have to punish you for what you did Whisper, understand?" [22:08] * Whisper nodded gently as he reassured her that what she was thinking and had said was true. She needed to let go of her past and finally let it get through to her that her present, if nothing else, was more care. Because she was cared for. And that was why she had to be punished, and she understood that and... looked forward to it, in a way. It hurt terribly when it was happening, but the feeling of forgiveness was something she never wanted to not recieve again. "I understand... Skull." She waited, standing rigidly as she waited for him to instruct her on what to do from here. [22:24] * Skull nodded softly before slowly extending his arm to Whisper. "Good, then there's no reason to linger on things. Come here Whisper, i'm going to take you over my lap for a spanking. It'll hurt, but then you'll be all forgiven. So, let's just get right to it." Skull spoke calmly as he waited for Whisper to take his arm. [22:27] * Whisper hesitated for only a moment before she took his arm, wincing a bit as he told her that he was going to spank her, and that it was definitely going to hurt. But still, she did her best to stay strong, though she was already going silent, and she was sure to be so for as long as she could stay so, as was her way. [22:46] * Skull slowly pulled Whisper over to him, guiding the girl onto the bed and across his lap as he did. He then placed an arm gently atop her back to keep her in place, as his other hand rested atop her clothed bottom. "Alright Whisper, i'm gonna get right to it, so get ready." He warned, before giving the girl a moment to find a position to get semi-comfortable in. Then without further [22:46] * Skull ado he raised his arm up high, before sharply bringing it down against the center of her backside. He snapped his wrist right at the bottom of the swing to add a bit of extra oomph to the the spank, then quickly raised it for the next. [22:51] * Whisper went stiff over his lap, squirming a bit with the nerves for the spanking that was going to come, and that she knew he wouldn't go easy on her with. But then again, she wouldn't have wanted that. As he warned her that he was going to start, she stopped squirming and went completely still, waiting very breifly for the first spank to fall. And fall it did, and hard. She jolted, but didn't make a sound, nor a move to get away from however many more he wished to deliver to her, getting back into the exact possition she was when he started. [23:02] * Skull quickly settled into a rhythm, spanking Whisper's bottom with quick, hard smacks that switched between left and right and back again. These one's that followed were not as hard as the first, but a sure sign that the punishment to come would be a long one. Still Skull was proud to see her take it so well, noting her do her best to stay in position after each spank. [23:07] * Whisper still held the ideal that if she were still and silent, then she wouldn't be punished as harshly. She kept herself still as the spanks continued on. Though they were gentler than the first, she could feel the heat in her behind starting to build up, but it wasn't too bad yet, and she had surely had much worse in the past. She was completely silent and still at this point, keeping her resolve for now. [23:19] * Skull suddenly ceased the spanking, a thought coming to his mind the more he watched Whisper and recalled what she said. "Oi, Whisper. The reason you're being quiet now, is it the same as what you told me a few minutes ago? This is certainly one of those times where you don't need to be quiet. In fact i'd say crying out helps alot more than being quiet. I thought we discussed this, you [23:19] * Skull don't have to hide how you feel. If it hurts, cry out, express how YOU feel Whisper. Don't keep it all bottled up in you, that's no good for you." He said, keeping his tone calm as he gently rubbed her backside. She needed to get better on expressing herself, and this was as good a time as any to try and push it a bit. He didn't intend to try too much though. As he rubbed he suddenly [23:19] * Skull raised his palm back up, before bringing it down on her bottom surprisingly, in similar fashion to the first spank. [23:27] * Whisper was quite surprised when the spanking abruptly came to a stop, and she blinked as he spoke to her, telling her it was okay to cry out during the spanking. She'd always kept it in her mind that crying, making noise, squirming, would be punished more harshly than if she were completely still and silent. But was the really true here? She thought about that and realized... that it wasn't. When she cried during a spanking, more often than not, it actually seemed to bring the end closer. She never got the chance to say anything before the next, harder spank fell, and a small, mewling noise escaped her mouth. She froze up for a moment, waiting to see what would happen now. She didn't think he would suddenly turn on her, but... she could never be sure. [23:37] * Skull gave a small smile as his hand began to gently rub at Whispers bottom again, glad to have gotten a legitimate response this time. "Oh, seems that hurt. See, now I can tell what you're feeling. I'm not gonna eat you or hurt you for expressing yourself Whisper. Let people know how you feel, and they'll react to it. See if you'd stayed quiet then...how would I ever know you felt [23:37] * Skull pain? Nothing bad is going to happen to you for crying out like that, I can promise you. Now I am going to start spanking you again, you are going to yelp and squirm and cry and all that, and i'll know when to stop, alright? We're gonna get some confidence in you yet Whisper." Skull said as he resumed the punishing rhythm he'd used before, raining down crisp spanks to the back of her [23:37] * Skull seat. Skull had...an odd way of doing most things, as Whisper could probably tell, but he did know what he was talking usually. [23:46] * Whisper ... had no idea what to think. Yes, she had told him a little, but he also seemed to be able to read her better than she'd ever been read in her life, and though it slightly scared her that he could... she also felt just a small sense of relief. Like she could finally just... leti it all go, like it was okay to let it all go. And that she'd be supported all the way through if she did. As he resumed the rhythmic spanking, she did start to let out small noises of pain, and tears began to well in her eyes as well. She was still relatively still, but it was for a different reason than before. She wanted to make this as easy for him as possible, because at this point he had helped her, and even if it only made a small change, it would be a good change for her. * Skull noticed the difference quite well, giving a slight nod as he finally began to focus on the task at hand. That being to heat Whisper's backside beneath those sweatpants. He continued to spank fast and fairly hard, keep to the same left-to-right pattern to keep the sting spread evenly. Now he wasn't so worried about Whisper since she expressed herself a bit, though he definitely wanted [15:25] * Skull to work with her more on that subject. There'd be time for that later however, as now he simply peppered that bottom with fierce smacks for a good minute or so more. Then the spanking suddenly stopped, although he was not done yet. "That's enough of a warm-up I believe, you're taking this very well so far. That at least shows that you understand you shouldn't have done what you did. Now, [15:25] * Skull don't be alarmed but i'm going to go to the next step Whisper, i'm going to pull your sweatpants down." Skull warned in advance before reaching into the waistband of her pants. With one swift motion then he pulled them down her legs, leaving them bunched at her ankles. [15:59] * Whisper was definitly starting to feel the heat in her backside growing more and more with each spank, and though it was starting to really sting, she knew she deserved more, probably a lot more at that as what she had done was sort of a serious offense. She continued to make small noises of pain as he spanked her slothed bottom, and her legs started to push against the floor as if it distract her from the pain. When he paused, she let out a small sigh of relief, but she squirmed a tad be uncomfotably as he told her was going to pull her pants down, and that he did, until they were pooled around her ankles on the floor. She nodded her head to convey that she understood what he was doing. [16:18] * Skull wasted no time in continuing, raising his arm right back up as he took aim at her panty-clad backside. When his hand fell he started an entirely different pattern, spanking both hard and fast entirely at random spots across her bottom. He flicked his wrist at the end of every single smack to add a bit of extra sting to it as he set Whisper's bottom alight. "Oi Whisper. Remind me, [16:18] * Skull why are you being punished here?" He asked, though he continued to spank her just as he had been, covering her bottom entirely while awaiting her response. He was glad that he might have helped her to open up a bit, however he still needed to make sure she understood entirely what the punishment was for. [16:23] * Whisper let out a gasp of pain as he started to spank her now less protected bottom with swift and hard spanks, but unlike before, she had no idea where they could be landing next. The tears that had been welling in her eyes started to spill over, but only at a small trickle for now. Her bottom swayed from side to side ever so slightly, and she did her best to listen to what he was asking of her, taking a few gulping breaths before answering, "F-for skipping Gym class." She answered difficultly through the continuing spanks. [16:35] * Skull nodded solemnly, though he didn't let up one bit on the punishing spanks that blazed across Whispers bottom. "That's right. I'm very disappointed in you Whisp. You knew better than to skip, even if your reason was to study for a test. All of your classes are important, not just the one's you like. I don't ever want to find out about you skipping any of your classes again Whisper, [16:35] * Skull you understand me?" Skull asked yet again, temporarily moving his focus to Whisper's lower bottom and sitspots as he sternly scolded her. [16:40] * Whisper felt her heart sink a bit as it really hit her that she had disappointed him, even if she'd only just met him. That was the one thing that she never, ever meant to do. She never wanted to disappoint anyone, but it seemed that from time to time she did. She nodded her head to show her understanding as his spanks shifted lower and onto the more sensitive area of her bottom. She took a firm hold onto his pantleg to try to distract herself from the pain, but more so to make sure she didn't think of trying to reach back as he thouroughly peppered her bottom and sitspots with firm spanks, more tears pouring down her cheeks as small cries continued to fall from her lips. [17:00] * Skull paused the spanking again suddenly, looking around the room for...oh, that would work ironically. He leaned over just a bit and picked up a big, hard cover book. "This'll work just fine. Alright Whisp, i'm going to start to finish this up. These panties will hafta come down though. A punishment like this has to be on the bare to make sure the lesson sticks." Skull explained, [17:00] * Skull setting the book off the side in front of Whisper so he could reach into the waistband of her panties. One moment later and they had joined her pants at her ankle, leaving her bright pink bottom bare and on display. [17:06] * Whisper was relieved that the spanking had taken yet another pause, but she was still shaking a bit over his knees even though he was no longer spanking her. When he seemed to find something to his liking, she opened her eyes a bit as she felt it places down in front of her. It was one of her favorite, for it had a lot of details about her new found history obsession, Joan of Arc. However, at this moment, she wished some of the details were cut down... She burried her face in the bed as she knew this next, finishing part of her spanking was likely to be the worst. She could barely imagine how much that heavy, detailed book would hurt her poor, now bare backside. She knew if her backside wasn't red yet, it would be by the time he was through with her. [17:13] * Skull immediately picked the book back up, having only placed it there to give the girl an idea of what was to come. He wasn't sure how effective the book would be actually, but he didn't see any reason it wouldn't. He set the heavy hard-covered book against Whispers already tender bottom, wanting to give her another moment before he began. Then he raised the book up high in the air, [17:13] * Skull thinking that they would find out the books ability as an impliment, as he swung it hard against Whisper's bottom like a paddle. [17:18] * Whisper wouldn't have believed Skull is he had said he didn't know how effective the book would be when forced to smack against her poor, hurting bottom. The first sob escaped her lips and she burried deeper into the blankets on her bed, her hands taking a tighter hold on his leg as her bottom squirmed ceaselessly, the pain going very deep. Normally this would be the point that she would start apologizing to her spanker, but she couldn't find her voice under her cries and rivering tears, so she simply continued to do so, though trying to muffle them in the blankets on her bed. [17:32] * Skull didn't need any apologies to tell Whisper was feeling sorry, though he expected he'd hear them after it was all over. Still the book had gotten a satisfactory reaction, so he was assured it would do. He swiftly raised the book right back up before crashing it down once more against her sore backside, the impact giving her cheeks a good bounce as more color was added. He continued [17:32] * Skull as such, slowly paddling her bottom good with that book, as her cheeks reddened with smack. [17:36] * Whisper was sure to give them afterwards, but at the moment she was too upset to form any idea of a thought in her head as the book was brought down on her reddening backside again and again and again. The page count was high in the book, and she felt like she could feel each and every one as the book was paddled against her bare backside. She cried her little heart out over his knees as she slowly stopped moving, losing the energy to even give herself that little bit of distraction, the grip on his pantleg losening as well as she completely and totally gave over to the spanking she was getting. [17:49] * Skull saw how Whisper had finally reached her limit, stopping the book not far afterwards. Her bottom was a nice, vibrant red now and she certainly seemed to have learned a good lesson from all this. Nonetheless Skull was going to make absolutely sure she had as he paused only to speak once more. "Alright Whisper, we're about through. Now, I don't ever want to hear about you skipping [17:49] * Skull a class again, do you understand me? If I do, you can expect to be going right back over my knee for a harder punishment. I don't enjoy spanking you like this, but your classes are too important to skip, doesn't matter the reason. I hope this has taught you that." Skull scolded before raising the book back up high in the air. He then delivered five final whacks, each harder than the one's [17:49] * Skull before, to finalize the punishment. [17:56] * Whisper had definitely reached just that as she felt as if all the little fight in her had been knocked right out, and she wanted nothing more than for this terrible spanking to finally be over so she could finally be forgiven for skipping her class. Once he had paused and spoke to her again, she nodded her head up and down, crying out a soft. "I-I-I... understand, S-Skull." She braced herself for the end of her spanking, knowing that however many there were, they were likely to be the hardest. And the hardest they were, as she cried out heavy sobs as the final five were applied to her bright red backside, still sobbing even after they were done, her bottom pulsing with the pain of them. [18:13] * Skull softened his expression as he finally set the book down off to the side, reaching down and gently helping Whisper off of his lap. Immediately he pulled her into a tight hug, softly rubbing her back to help calm her down. "There now, it's all over Whisp. I'm proud of ya, you took your punishment very well. You're forgiven now, so just take all the time you need to calm down alright? [18:13] * Skull Let it all out, no one will blame or hurt you for expressing how you feel after all." Skull spoke calmly as he held Whisper tight, softly petting her hair until she could calm down. [18:20] * Whisper was still crying when he pulled her up off of his lap and into his arms. As soon as he had pulled her into a hug, she burried her face in his shoulder, crying into it still pretty hardly, but not so much from the spanking itself. Yes, it had been a very hard on, but she had also had worse. No, she was crying so hard more so due to how truely badly she felt for what she had done, and for the fact that he had taken the time to really understand her actions, even if he didn't agree with them. And he'd taken the time to get to know her, at least a little. When he said he forgave her, her tears and cries slowly slowed down until they were no more than a sinlge tear here, a small cry there came from her. She then finally, softly spoke a few, small words. "I'm... sorry, Skull. Thank you... for taking such good... care of m-me." [18:40] * Skull continued to hold Whisper tightly in his arms, grinning down at her as she spoke to signify the tought part being entirely over. "Hey, no problem Whisp. That's what i'm here for huh? And i'll be around whenever you need me as well. Hopefully not just in situations where you're in trouble, as i'd love to just hang with you sometimes. Just no more skipping classes alright? And don't [18:40] * Skull forget what I told you either, have a bit more confidence in and express yourself more. Thinking about other people is nice and all, but sometimes you need to think for yourself, people won't hate you for it here. There's no reason you should have to worry about others thoughts so much you neglect your own." Skull replied gently as he slowly released his hold around Whisper finally, taking [18:40] * Skull a step back to grin down at her. [18:49] * Whisper nodded gently as he spoke to her and still held her, feeling very well punished, but also very much so forgiven for her transgression. "I promise I won't... ever skip class again. And... I'd like to... h-hang out with you too. I'm sure it would... be a lot more fun... th-than this." She joked a little dryly as her tears and cries finally came to a stop. She didn't comment on the rest of what he said, however, because she really didn't know what to say. What she did know, however, was that she wanted to prove to him that she could improve herself in that way, and that his actions and words were for nothing. Thinking about it for a moment, she said, "Thank you, Skull... for everything. Right now... I feel well cared about... though also a bit... pained." She gave him a small smile of her own as she reached to fix her clothing and put it all back in place. Then, ever so softly, she did say, "I'll try... and be more open... about how I feel. I'll... try my best." [19:09] <Skull> "Heh, i'm sure it will be more fun as well. I'll be sure to stop be every now and then, though you know you should leave the room every now and then. Studying's good but i'm sure people would like to see ya more. Besides being around lots of people will help you I think, of course i'll do what I can as well. Thanks for hearing me out about all that Whisper, I hope you can change things [19:09] <Skull> . And i'm sure you won't skip again, after all you don't want history to come back and bite you in the butt again, so to speak huh?" Skull replied teasingly before giving Whisper another short hug and softly ruffling her hair. In a way Skull was glad he'd came here today, though he still wished the circumstances had been different. Ever since he came to the house he'd felt more like a [19:09] <Skull> stranger or as though he was intruding. Whisper had helped him in a few ways as well, though one's less noticable. He smiled back at her for just a moment more before deciding he'd bugged her enough for one day, and besides he needed to check on things everywhere else. "Well i'll get out of your hair for now Whisp, so you can get back to studying. Next time I come you can tell me all [19:09] <Skull> about how you aced that history quiz huh? Oh, and as long as you do your best in it, that'll be fine with me but...try and do a bit better in gym as well huh? Who knows, maybe you'll have more fun if you participate a bit more." Skull added as he turned to exit the room, walking slowly to the door before waving back at Whisper as a farewell. [19:22] * Whisper found that Skull seemed to have a lot of advice for her, and she really appreciated it all. It was all stuff that she had been wanting to work on for so long, but she could never seem to figure out just how to do it. But something about a caretaker telling her this was all okay, even though she was getting older, spoke volumes to the quiet girl. "I'll try and not... stayed holed up as... much. B-but, I mean it is... a bit hard with... the pressure of applying... to colleges coming up. I have to be... sure to do my best." She thought about that for a moment and something seemed to click in her head along those lines. "I guess that colleges... would want to see... a good grade... in gym to. So I guess I... should try and participate... more and bring up... that grade too." She nodded her head when he asked her to tell him how her history test goes, and that no matter the grade, he'd be proud of her for trying her best. She watched as he left her room, waving back to him in a similar fashion.
