Honestly? Who cares about anthropology at Festival time? Rias never got much interest beyond "how's my grade look?" in her class as it was, but this was an entirely different level of care less.
"And who can tell me why Rome didn't like Carthage?" It was terribly boring. Luckily, that would change--in a monkey paw kind of way. Sirzechs was headed down the hall. She could feel it.
"Excuse me one moment... Don't tear up the place." Outside the door, "WHAT?"
"Oh, hi sis, good to see you too."
"Don't give me that. You only come up top when there's trouble. You don't think this place is crazy enough with hormonal devils (humans) running around in a festival?"
"Yes... I suppose that's a little hectic, but," Sirzechs then told Rias what was happening. Rias cancelled class immediately, and for the juniors in intro to anthropology the festival started early.
It was one of those regular boring old days in class--ah, who am I kidding! It was fantastic day! One of those magical days in which the new student got to stand in front of the class and be shy or evil, whichever he/she was feeling at the time. A blue haired girl stood in front of the bored class and started to introduce herself.
"Do I go now--uh, oh, hi~" She started brightly. "I'm Laura. It's really good to be here. I've heard so much about this school!--all of it good, I promise. I guess I should say something about myself... Uh, I like EDM and I hate anime, so please don't make me try to watch, ok?" The girl took her seat next to a redhead next to a window. When their eyes met she simply smiled.
"Hi~ You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

Melanie Du Coteau Sacred Gear:Vritra's Tail: Devil's spine.
Stealthy, strong, long reach and flexible. The black dragon's tail was one of it's many deadly assets. The tail itself is a wonderful yet terrible weapon. You see, the tail feeds on the host's spine until it completely devours it and takes it place. This not only grants the bearer full use and potential of this gear, but if the tail breaks... well you may get an Idea of that would happen to your body.
It it said that the tail holds a personality of it's own, vicious and vindictive, it requires constant dotting and spoiling to keep it at bay. Legend tells Vritra made people squirm and screech their lifes out of their lungs to ease it's tail and lead it to a tranquil slumber.
Listening to : Beauty of Anihilation With Loud hairphones, the redhead would soon come to drift her gaze from her text book when the vibrations of Lamia's desk would began as the blue haired girl took her sit. Only to see Laura greeting her with some sort of words. Melanie stood there emotionless while waiting for Laura's lips to stand still and whisper no longer a single word. As she did, Melanie would recopilate the motions Laura did to decipher her words. Once she decoded the message, the redhead would reply back. "YOU CAN SIT WHENEVER YOU WANT. IT'S NOT LIKE I OWN THE SCHOOL OR ANYTHING." She replied, loudly as she was already deaf with the loud music. But there didn't seem any signal she was aware of it. Of course this would be hinted as She didn't even bother to address the teacher which was lecturing Melanie for hearing loud music in the classroom. Not that she was completely against the school, but she was already immersed in the music since this morning that she didn't even notice when the class started. Because of this she wouldn't notice the teacher standing next to her since Laura held her complete visual attention while the music held the rest.
It wasn't until the teacher took the headphones away. That Melanie's eyes widened in surprise. As they did, Laura would see the figure of the teacher split for fragments of seconds, as if having a vision of multiple scenarios. All on which the teacher was violently constricted, ripped or impaled with a strange object which came from the redhead's figure. This was just some sort of vision, since all what Melanie did was to turn over to the teacher. "Oh, sorry, I didn't knew class had even started." If it weren't for Melanie's good grades she would surely be in trouble, however she was a good student, so she only got a warning.
Lamia giggled a little. Not many didn't know not to turn down--for what!--when the time came. It was sort of, you could say, refreshing. The teacher didn't think it so, cutely enough for a being of years like Lamia; to watch these kids pretending to be the boss of one another made the morning glow with a certain opulence in self-pride which just couldn't be shaken.
Then something strange happened. Imperceptible to others, surely, but Lamia got a good view of the horrors the surprised, cornered beast if you will, mind of Melanie was capable of. Of those which it might have concerned, perhaps more to the point, there were none here: demons, mystics, angels; so Lamia could take her time and play this exactly as she wanted. Whether it was sacred gear or not, interested was piqued.
"Wow, that was impressive." She said smiling. "I don't think I could have gotten out of trouble that easy."

Listening to : Beauty of Anihilation With a deep sigh, the redhead would see the teacher leave towards the desk so the class might start at last. Hearing Lamia out, she would turn her eyes on Laura's direction as she spoke. "Really? It's not the big deal. I usually don't distract myself, so I got myself just a warning." Said Melanie, unaware of the demon that was in front of her. The blue haired girl however seemed to have this interest in her which Melanie could perceive by feeling Lamia's gaze rather heavy on her person. "What? Do I have something on my face?" This was rather ironic, considering last day it was Laura who was looked upon and examined by Zoey, and now, it was Laura the one watching.
"Oh, I see." Said Lamia simply. Then the reversal. "What? Oh, no, I just--" She had to catch herself--"well I was wondering how you did your makeup." She laughed nervously. That was a close one. From then on Lamia paid more attention to the teacher. She was going on about some Japanese history. Interesting, but totally irrelevant. If only she had the eye she might have known Lamia was a devil. Too bad. She might think her a bit odd, though.
{timeskip!}
"So, do you, like, do any sports?" Lamia was obviously talking to Melanie to avoid being alone, or so it would seem to the redhead.

Listening to : Beauty of Anihilation After class was over, most of the people would just leave the classroom and mind their own business, but it would appear Laura had other plans. Originally trying to read her book, Melanie was once again spoken to by Laura, who had apparently no one else to talk with despite her approachable character and social skills. Melanie was mid page when Laura's voice break in which made her gaze drift from the pages in a steady line until her eyes met with Lamia's. "Why yes, I'm in the swimming club. Do you?" Asked Melanie returning the question. More over as people were finally out and she had enough space, Melanie minded her own business and started stretching, thinking she might had the chance to pick a run to the gym so she could make some cardio before hitting the pool. On the mean time she would continue the conversation. "I really don't use that much of make up. I merely pick a red lipstick with a soft color. Not really a big fan of super loaded colors on my face." Said Melanie while answering Laura's first question since, because of the class, she didn't had the chance to explain earlier.
"Oh~! I've heard that's amazing exercise." She giggled. "Maybe I'll have to practice one time, see how I do." Her eyes said, CHALLENGE ISSUED! Her face said, emotion_kirakira Strange combo, but those're the types of mind games a Succubus is capable of.
"You're kidding! You mean most of that is natural?" She put a hand to her face and looked beaten. "You must have guys harassing you all the time." She looked both ways down the hall. "... Must be a rare moment of peace for you." Then she thought about that statement, actually. "Oh! I get it, you want to be alone." She waved and started heading off her own way. "Bye~"

Listening to : Beauty of Anihilation Melanie stared at Laura's rather unique expression as the succubus took the challenge of swimming. "Well, practice starts in a few hours, you could go and check, see if you are interested." Melanie recommended, after all it was but a polite gesture towards any newcomers. When Laura talked about Melanie's beauty and how guys might harass her all the time, the redhead would pause for a second as her cheeks gained a light shade of pink. "That's not true. There are lots of other girls to admire than myself." Despite those words, deep within she appreciated Laura's comment. As Laura waved good bye so did Melanie bidding her farewell. However, as Laura faced the halls, just like with the teacher, the vision of destroyed lockers, impaled bodies and blood staining the walls and floors would come back to her. There was also some sort of whisper, the words themselves weren't clear but they were sure to buzz on the succubus ear while the vision played through her eyes. Soon after, she could feel as it something wrapped around her body. The vision faded seconds before she started feeling as the wrap tightened in order to constrict. On the mean time Melanie kept stretching, but eyeing Laura. While Laura gained those visions, Melanie felt something similar. Ever since their first contact, there was something that Laura had thad called for her. She looked...beautiful. And more than once, she daydreamed with the blue eyed girl. Which was strange for Melanie since last time she remembered she was straight. Yet in more than one ocassion she held a vission of herself, taking Laura's hand before bestowing something onto the blue haired girl, but she always snapped out of it before she could understand what it was or why would she even do so. Once more, Melanie caught herself observing yet again Laura which made her look away ashamed. Trying to hide it out while stretching.
"Ok, good! I can get some of today's reading out of the way before then." She was about to burst with excitement now... Seemingly. "Oh yeah? bet you can't name one!" Said Lamia laughing. The humble bit always amused her; humans are selfish, they should act like it.
Lamia was about to leave when she was stopped by a most entrancing horror. This was the type of thing the stereotypical demon dreamt of, and for Lamia it was a little too much like home. Confirmation: this one wasn't normal, and if all went well she might have what it takes. Suppose Lilith and her didn't understand all this fuss over peerage; this being their fourth member in all history. But she knew how to cover up, and gaining this asset was doing just that. She turned around just in time to catch Melanie's stare breaking away.
"Everything ok there?" She tilted her head. "Oh, I get it. You're one of those daydreamers, aren't you?" Lamia decided to have some fun. She made an illusion of her own: something ghastly like Lamia's head melting off at the neck as she spoke; pouring down in blood and grayish-pink words in a pool of mocking bubbles and frothy pheromones.
"...Hello?" She would cut the illusion to reveal her standing there looking concerned.

Listening to : Beauty of Anihilation Just as soon as she was entraped by Lamia's illusion, Melanie's eyes widened in horror as she saw Laura's face melting away. Her eyes revealed a reaction of pure horror, but this was Laura's confirmation. Since while her eyes and soul revealed true horror and surprise in her reaction. Her lips were forming a teasing smile. Another proof something wasn't right or more likely ordinary. Her right hand trembled, going along with her eyes, showing fear while her left hand would quickly grasp on her uniform, clinching onto it with just a tad of anxiety.
Right now Melanie displayed two different reactions, one which was completely understandable in any normal human which would be surprise and fear. While on the other hand, her lips and left hand appeared to be pleased by the horror visions.
Melanie would jump backwards once the illusion was over and Laura appeared just fine in front of her. "Waah!" Bumping against the floor, she would wince just a little before one last vision appeared for Laura. Just as soon as she fell, Melanie's body began cracking, as if her body was just a cocoon holding something else. As her torso broke out, there was a shadowy figure which quickly jumped at Laura as if trying to take her with it. The mumbling could be heard once more, yet this time it appeared to be pleased. Whatever it was, it was apparently pleased by this horror scenarios.
Back into reality Melanie was confused, scared, even intimidated by Laura. "W-what..." Observing Laura's innocent look, Melanie decided it was all just in her head,and that she shouldn't bother a poor student with her problems. "I-i have to go..." Said Melanie as she stood up and attempted to leave in a spree. Lamia should know better, she was vulnerable. And it only needed a small push to awaken the sacred gear.
"Uh.." Soon the dagger-like tail came at her. Lamia tilted her head to the side, narrowly avoiding the thing... Whatever it was. That look though; she was getting somewhere. For some reason or another it looked like she wanted to kill Lamia, and that she was also afraid of that reality. She decided to use one of her better tricks: the tick-trigger. It involved using the target's subconscious actions to trigger an illusion they themselves bring about; nearly impossible to break: inception. Whenever Melanie would next envision Lamia's grizzly demise she would trigger an illusion in which her gear really did kill Lamia.
It would look professional. The Succubus would run to catch up to her, hold her in her arms as she collapsed, and at the last moment--sshhnkk! Right through the back with that brutish tail of hers. Lamia, dying, would say,
"Don't... Stop... Trying... To be the best--the best you can be!'' Her lips would quiver before her last breath was spent on, "Keep competing... Win... Beat everyone." Finally death would freeze her visage in permanent lamination as her reality would come tumbling back on top of her like a mine caving in. Lamia would be at the end of the hall, looking out the window.

Listening to : Beauty of Anihilation "No! don't Die!!" Melanie was shocked to see whatever thing came out of her stab and Kill Lamia in front of her. According to the Illusion she held the girl's body as her eyes collected her tears, but before she could say anything else there was a sudden pain in her chest. Her eyes widened, as drips of blood would began oozing from her lips when Lamia's body disappeared, along with the Illusion. There she was at the end of the hall, staring at the window. Melanie sighed in relief, before the cracking sound of her ribcage brought her back to reality. Apparently, Lamia's Illusion was so convincing the sacred gear fell for it, delighted by the brutal violence it wished to stab Lamia's body just a little more, but ended up stabbing her own host in the process. "Ghh!!" Melanie wished to scream as the floor stained with her blood, but as soon as her lips were about to open and express her pain, the tail twisted, delighted at the pain inflicted. shutting the girl's teeth and silencing her screams, keeping them inside, just as the tail liked it the most. The sacred gear didn't seem to mind if it killed it's host for it would just seek another one, but that would mean for Lamia to wait until the gear reemerged, which could mean someone else snatching it from her. "L-laura...R-run..!.."
It was all she could managed to say while the tail had fun with Melanie's wounded body.
"Oh, that's... Wow, really?" She winced a little as the beast withing Melanie tore her apart. "The escalations, they are--how do you say?--too quick, comrade!" She chuckled at her own crappy Russian accent. Hey, not everything has to be serious... Oh, nevermind, Melanie was straight dying! Lamia knew Asia was gone, so this one really had no shot. Without knowing it she forced her hand: her curiosity to push Melanie and watch her made her kill herself; and if she wanted to continue observing her to tell if she was worthy she would have to turn her into a piece anyway.
"Here." She gave Melanie her hand, risking death by the sacred gear which she hoped she could fool with an illusion. "It looks like you had a little spill." Probably one of the darker puns in her career, honestly. "We'll get you all fixed up, ok?" At this point Lamia was activating her teleportation circle to go back to Lilith's place. In a moment they would be in that awesome apartment with awesome carpeting... With blood EVERYWHERE.
