[OOC:] I know, right? Jethrow laughed and shook his hair from his eyes. "People are only ever cryptic if they're saying the most obvious things in the world. For example, I said you're something different. As in you're not a vampire. You stated that yourself. Not cryptic."
Benjamin heard Icarus' comment about crypticness, and was going to say something in response, when Sophia giggled and responded. He wasn't sure whether to smirk and be smug, or smile and be genuine, so he went for a combination. He smirked and produced a little rose from seemingly nowhere, offering it to the pretty French girl. "Que je suis. Vous devez coller autour, se renseigner sur plusieurs d'entre eux." [OOC:] *That I am. You should stick around, learn more of them.

Icarus just glared at Jethrow and huffed. "Smart a**..." she grumbled. She had been about to offer him some of her pastries. But now, hell no!
Sophai blushed a little and smiled charmingly, taking the rose and tucking it into her golden hair behind her ear. "I'd love to. Maybe somewhere more... private?" she whispered to the Spaniard, gently laying a lace gloved hand over his.

Jethrow laughed a little and nodded. "I never tell people my nickname, but they always seem to guess it," he said jokingly, propping his shoes up on the chair across from him, the one next to Icarus.
Benjamin was frozen for a moment as Sophia suggested getting away from Icarus and Jethrow, and he glanced down at her hand on his. "Uh....Sure?" he said, unsure of what he was saying nor why.

Sophia smiled and took Benjamin's hand and helped him up, leading him off to a more secluded table so they could talk more.
Icarus was about to retort Jethrow until she saw the two Europeans leaving. "Hey Spain, where you going? Spain? Spain!" she barked, trying to get his attention. Sadly that French girl had him around her little finger. So the girl just growled and munched on her pastry. "愚かなスペインが気を取らばかり。特に大きなグーグーフランスの目のペアで..." she muttered under her breath.
[OOC:] *Stupid Spain getting distracted. Especially by a pair of big goo goo French eyes...

Benjamin didn't even think about leaving. He just followed the pretty French girl wherever she wanted to go. When they sat down, he took a second to realize that if she wanted to kill him, he was making it easy for her, but brushed it off. She was just a pretty girl and she was nice, that was all.
Jethrow laughed as Icarus tried to call her friend back, and shook his head. "Everybody makes fun of the French, but nobody can resist them," he said dismissively.

On the contrary, all Sophia did was talk with him. And get him to talk about himself and the school. She was quite new here and she'd prefer a friend before starting classes.
Icarus huffed before looking to Jethrow. "So... What are your classes like?" she asked.

Benjamin was doing exactly what Sophia wanted. He was in the middle of describing what detention was like when he realized that he had just admitted to having been in detention to a pretty girl he was trying to impress. "I mean.... Well... Um.. Okay, I've been in detention once, but it wasn't my fault I was there!"
Jethrow laughed and shook his head. "Haven't started them yet. I got here today around lunch-ish, but I didn't want to go to class for the four I was here for. Meh."

Sophia giggled and nodded. "I understand. Could have been your companion's fault? That punkish girl?" she asked, thinking some. Punks were ones for trouble, so it was easy to assume Icarus was behind his problem.
Icarus shrugged a little. So he didn't go. She was just like that. But she was staying here because someone wanted her to. Maybe it was just a ploy by the states or something, but she was rolling with it. As she thought, her thoughts drifted back to the letter and its writer. Who was it? Did they really care? Would she get to meet them soon?

Benjamin shook his head. "No way. It's not her fault. If anything, I'm the reason she ended up in detention." He shook his head again, trying to drive the point home.
Jethrow watched Icarus as she thought, then leaned back and stared up at the ceiling, as if trying to find something interesting that wasn't the silent girl behind him. [OOC:] What are we gonna do for that attack thing? Maybe have some people break into the school in the middle of the night? And they try to poison Icarus or something?

Sophia processed the information before just smiling. "You're a Spaniard. I cannot fault you for being valiant and prone to a few little fights. That's what Spain has brought. After all! Your people fight bulls! Jocks should be nothing." she said with still that delicate, royal smile.
Icarus soon lost her taste for her food and pushed the plate to Jethrow. She then got up and exited the dining hall, heading to the garage. The girl laid down on the little sliding board that was used to get under vehicles to work in their underbellies. But instead of work, she just laid there, sighing, going back to thinking.

Benjamin smiled back at Sophia, relieved. "Nobody's called me Mexican since, so I guess that's a good thing," he said with a nonchalant shrug. "So what classes will you be taking here?"
Jethrow didn't comment as Icarus left, but left as well, headed off on his own way to see the principal. They had a rather important meeting for discussing a few... Living arrangements of Jethrow's. [OOC:] Wanna skip to the attack?

[OOC:] Yeah. And I'm thinking maybe it's a curse in poison form. As revealed Icarus is quite resilient to toxins. As proven by her race.
Sophia described her classes. Many were the same as Benjamin's, but only a few didn't line up. But the girl was happy she'd get to spend more time with the Spaniard.
After laying there for a while, Icarus headed to the kitchens. By now people were starting for class and other things. She ordered a cup of coffee and sat down to wait for it. It wouldn't take long hopefully. She was going to have this coffee and go get some sleep. A nice long nap.

There was a loud crashing noise, and the doors of the dining hall flung themselves open, revealing a man in black covered in shards of the glass window he'd broken through. A few others came in after him, locking the doors and barking out orders to each other as they went about looting the room without being argued with.
Benjamin jumped a little when the doors crashed open, and when the men came in and started looting the nicer objects in the room, he frowned. He wasn't stupid enough to start attacking them; nobody in the room was. They were watching warily, as if waiting for the opportune moment to attack. He carefully moved so that he was in front of Sophia, keeping her out of view.

Icarus jumped as well and instinctively dove under the table she was sitting at. Thankfully the table cloth hid her well. The girl silently peered out at the outsiders, readying her pocket knife. She watched them through that split in the white sheet, wondering who they were. But she would stay hidden if they did nothing too violent.
Sophia immediately clung to Benjamin as the commotion started. She whimpered quietly, trying to hide from prying eyes. She was used to a peaceful, aristocratic life. Not the bustle of an invasion.

Benjamin watched as the men just kind of stood there, talking amongst themselves. They were standing close to the table Benjamin had just vacated and he narrowed his eyes. Icarus and Jethrow were both missing, but he had a feeling they were still around. He heard an announcement come over the PA calling all staff to the dining hall, and he wondered how long it would be before the police or someone took care of this.
The men standing by Icarus' table were whispering quite urgently. "We'll never find her in all this," one of them whispered. The leader shrugged and handed each of them a pouch that clinked. "Then inject them all. Every single girl in the room. She's in here somewhere."
