Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Hans is so pimp XD and I thought there was only one shinigami academy, so how could he be a transfer student??? O_o ))

"Oh look," she whispered towards Charles "Another Knight has come to the rescue of the fair damsel in distress!" She pretended to swoon dramatically and ended up loosing her balance and falling on her butt in the sand which made her giggle despite the increase in throbbing in her head. She was not thinking clearly.

She grinned broadly up at Kiyoshi and held up her hands towards him "Think ye could help me get up? After that I think I might be able to walk, Nirami might need some assistance though" She said looking around him and giving Nirami a playful but evil look.

There are far too many questions in the world without answers; either no-one has solved them, or the answer is being kept from the person asking. This frustrates most people, unless the answer is later revealed and is in favor of their perspective. This situation was no different than the second scenario, but without a future response. Maroon felt it was funny that a shinigami would ask what he is. Obviously, he was something that was not to be trifled with; moreover, he was not low enough to reveal all of his secrets. After all, there’s no mystery if one just answers every question bluntly. Maroon felt it exciting that he could play cat and mouse.

Maroon looked deep within the depths … of the sand. He neglected this shinigami’s question like a forgotten name. However, his nose had started twitching. “They said I was an abomination! Tee-HEE!” Maroon had started rolling on the sand in a circular pattern. “Always said I should worry more about the TEEE~aaam. But my squad meant nuffink to mee! It was whatever Kisuke-taichou wanted. That’s what Maroon did! Nyah!” Maroon had suddenly jumped on the Shinigami’s back, yet he held all of his weight off of the child. “Nom nom nom!” He started gnawing playfully on Makoto’s head. “Vaizard!? What is Vaizard you speeeeeak of? Surely he’s not one with a mask such as that!” Maroon pointed oddly at another shinigami child way off tending to some more or less deathly student. “I have one tooo! Do you wanna see? Do yah? Do -” Maroon’s body was viciously thrown to the ground. “Shut up, doofus! You’re so impotent!” The scratchy voice of Chamo shrieked, as the body started punching itself repeatedly. Soon enough, the body lay still, Chamo’s short reign subsided, and Maroon sat up. “Why’d you doooo that? You big meanie!”

A voice could be heard, some ranked officer or teacher had called for the students. Maroon looked up at the soul casually and mocked him. “You better get going, or you might get detention!” His hand covered his mouth sarcastically, pretending to laugh like a flattered woman. Maroon’s attention was immediately caught by a hollow snake, and Maroon thought it would be fun to imitate it. He slithered after the snake, shortly making it his afternoon meal. “Yum!”

His name was Maroon, child-like behavior had once again shrouded him.

(( Bah, sorry, Your screen name and character name are rather similar ))

"Oi, no need to get pissy, I was being silly." She said dryly at him with a slight glare and an eye twitch. She allowed him to help with a rather unhappy look on her as she leaned off of him watching his eyes closely to see if the pain he had felt when helping her had subsided. The slight height difference of a few inches probably didn't help much. She didn't want to cause problems with the guy but his lack of humor towards the comment irritated her slightly. After all she hadn't meant it rudely, it had just been a joke. She sighed and spaced for a moment here yes getting unfocused as she chewed on the inside of her lip. Be nicer Hannah bah...he just can't take a joke, my comment was perfectly nice not everyone shares your sense of humor I still don't see why he should get pissy about it *sigh*

Shrugging as much as he could without disturbing Nirami, Charles just shakes his head to accompany it. "No telling . . . I am all new to this, so for all I know it is just an elaborate hazing ritual!" Approaching the academy, despite it being at an awkward angle, Charles remains upbeat.

"Heh . . . a few throw pillows, and who knows? This place might just be livable!" His jokes stem from a basic acceptance of the situation. Instead of worrying about where he is, or where to go from here, he just goes with the flow and tries to remain upbeat.

She snapped out of her daze and grinned hearing Charles, cracking a smile at his jokes. "If this is a hazing ritual, whoever thought it up is going to get a bloody nose when I find them" her voice was tense but it lightened up at the pillow comment. "Throw pillows....maybe a comforter in some crazy pattern to throw off the black and white." she smiled. She could make it here if she stuck with these guys, they'd probably keep her sane from the lack of color. It was nice at having the possibility of having friends again. "At least maybe we'll have some of our stuff probably." She shrugged and gimped along with Kiyoshi. She smiled at him trying to repair any damage she might have done.

(( That zanpakuto going senile line made me laugh so hard, you have no idea. Best. line. evar! ))

The random question from Kiyoshi caused her to start burst out laughing and despite the pain it caused she couldn't exactly seem to stop. She stopped for a moment bending over and covering her mouth trying to stifle it and make it subside it a slight giggle fit. As she managed to calm herself into the occasional giggle she began to move forward again "Ah, sorry sorry! That was just, he he, that was great, I'm sorry" she winced at the terrible throbbing in the back of her head from laughing like that "You guys are going to kill me with your jokes!" she said smiling from ear to ear. "The teachers are guna yell at us if we show up laughing, put on yer sad faces, quick!" Hans lips made a sharp upside down V shape on her face as she attempted to exaggerate a sad and serious face at the same time making her look slightly ridiculous.

"Easy, comrade! No need to overdo it, ne?" Charles takes great care to pause when Nirami needs it, and only move when ready. Smiling at the jokes Hans makes, he at least thinks there is somebody here that he can talk to. Hearing the comments around him, he gets a sinking feeling in his belly. This isn't normal, and it is not likely to get better.

"I think a bloody nose is the least of our worries here."

Nirami took heed of Charles' words, a little more careful when they moved again. He smiled lightly as he listened to the others, shaking his head lightly at their silliness. They got to the gathering of students, and a teacher spoke in front of all of them. His mood never shifted. The rooms were to change, and they were to be put in teams. It was like the opening speech had some foreboding meaning to it. Something different at the academy- something new.
Well, something definitely did happen.

Sighing softly, Nir was tempted to take fate on his own legs and rub his eyes, but he had a thought that he might smother sand and dry blood into them. Speaking of blood, he looked to Hans and her supporter, and then he looked to Charles. "Well, I don't know what they'll be able to do for me, but we should go seek aid for our wounds. And then see who we're teamed up with."

Hopefully they will pick teams out of the groups of students and shimigami that gravitated together- rather then by random. Otherwise, learning to work together again, with new people, might be more time then, say, already grouped people who fought together against the Hollows. He'd already spied several more groups like the one he was apart of- people leaning on each other, discussing things with each other. He thought it would make more sense that things would be easier if you were grouped with someone you knew, already.
