✴ William ✴
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ❝There are reasons to live,
there are reasons to die❞ A book with no words in it caught William's eye, so he knelt down to check it out, noticing it was actually a sketchbook. The doodles were... interesting. From what he could see, they were all of people, but some were well done while others just seemed to be mocking people. He nodded at her reply and tried to flip the page with no success.
He pouted and was about to bombard her with questions instead when she beat him to it. "Yes, I just got here, actually. I'm William. But... ah, enough about me, you can draw?" He asked, though the answer was obvious because it was right in front of him. He wanted to snatch it up and hover away so he could look through all of it, but that wasn't about to happen anytime soon.
"Oh!" He jumped up when he remembered that she was hurt, curious as to what the story behind that was. "What happened to your arm? Did you get... mauled... by a... pencil?" No, that was stupid. There must have been a better explanation than that. "Are you one of those butch, manly chicks that plays football with the guys? Then why are you carrying a purse? Ah, you're probably holding it for your girlfriend," He nodded at that conclusion, knowing that it made sense and was probably right. Now he wanted to meet this alleged 'girlfriend' and ask her about the drawings, which were probably hers and not Angela's because she was clearly too manly to draw. ❝But the end's not the end
while you're still alive.❞

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...
Angela picked up the sketch book and placed it in her bag, resisting the urge to back away slowly from the mentally retarded ghost. But that would be rather rude and, she reasoned, perhaps he was just lacking experience. He didn't exactly look completely Human.
Well, obviously he wasn't, since he was a ghost. But he didn't look like he was Human before becoming a ghost so yes. That, coupled with the whole deadness thing, could explain why he seemed a little barmy. "Yes, I can draw. I've been doing it for some time now," she said, putting her sketch book back into her bag. "And no, I don't play football with the boys; I don't even like football to be honest. If you really want to know, I was mauled by a monster...thing. And I don't have a girlfriend."
She stood and brushed herself off with her good hand, slinging the tote onto her shoulder. "Though my last boyfriend does make the idea somewhat tempting. Anyway, it's...nice...to meet you, William. Were you heading anywhere in particular? I can help you find your way if you're a bit lost."You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

  Penelope hurried down the hall, attempting (and rather failing) to put some distance between her and her sister, who was currently trailing right on her heels and prodding her ing the shoulder with one of her index fingers. "Dear GOD woman, would you please just leave me in peace?" She said, a pale blush of embarrassment keeping a steady hold on her face. "I-I told you! We'll, we'll talk about this later!" She really wasn't happy with the direction their conversation kept going, tumbling down steep (and rather lacy) chasms into the depths of pure unbridled awkwardness. Of course, that was exactly the place her sister wanted the conversation, so she did her absolute best to look unfazed.
It wasn't very convincing. "You said that when now was later though!" Persephone laughed. "Come on, just once or twice? I especially liked those shoes you got. You know the red ones? I mean, the OTHER red ones that is.""I- I th-thought color coordination was supposed to be important!" Penelope snapped. "Isn't it? I-I mean, when I asked them to make my hair look, er, different, they did the red thing! A-and I thought... I thought... You know what? Forget this." She spun, causing her sibling to nearly run into her as she stopped suddenly. "Look, how about this? You can wear ANY of the stuff I bought IF, i-if you take that stupid earring out for one second and let me "switch" alright? I really, really, REALLY don't want to have to share a room with you." "...Nah." Persephone grinned. "You spent all that money on your hair, so I should be the one to switch. Besides, I don't actually want to wear any of your clothes anyways. Red really isn't my color."She was getting ulcers. She just knew her stupid sibling was giving her stress induced stomach sores, she knew it! Penelope slowly closed her eyes, and placed a finger on her temple. "Then why," She said slowly. "Have you been asking since we WOKE UP THIS MORNING?""Why do I do anything?" Persephone smiled widely. "Because I love you of course!" She took an involuntary step back as her sister's eyes snapped open and shot her a venomous look. "Okay okay... I think I'll head off to my next class now. See you tonight!" She said, spinning and flouncing away. Persephone had never really been one to "flounce" as it were, but she felt that the effect it would have on her sibling would most likely be hilarious.
[exit]"Bu... what about the..." Penelope blinked, numbly watching as her sister practically pranced around a corner and out of sight... She was switching out of art. She had to. For her sanity. She blankly turned and began to walk again, anger, frustration, and a large amount of stunned disbelief showing on her face as she made her way towards the student lounge. She just had to remind herself how good she really had it right? At least her sibling wasn't trying to kill her.
She wasn't really paying to where she was going, but was snapped out of her reverie (which mostly involved thinking of how much easier her life would be if the entire planet were suddenly obliterated by a vogon constructor fleet) when it almost... felt like she bumped into someone. Well sort of, not quite. It was sort of like bumping into a person, except that she hadn't actually met any resistance, and instead of warmth, the air around her got cool. She looked around curiously, and blinked as she realized she was standing quite near to Angela, who appeared to be talking to someone outside of Penelope's field of vision.
"...Morning?" She said hesitantly, quite unsure about what she had just experienced.

✴ William ✴
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ❝There are reasons to live,
there are reasons to die❞ Nope, he wasn't convinced. William was certain she was trying to take credit for her girlfriend's art. And besides, mauled by a monster? He would believe his vicious pencil mauling idea a million years before that! He grinned when she stood up, glad that she seemed fine on her own and didn't need any help.
Well, maybe he could be wrong. She did say it was tempting, so maybe she wanted to make that come true? "If I meet any nice girls, I'll be sure to set you up," He told her with a nod. "I'm going wherever you're going because... I have no clue where I'm going," He wasn't exactly sure that made any sense at all, but it made sense in his mind.
But then he felt something warm. He froze up, having no clue where it came from. Sure, the warmth felt nice, but he wasn't going to enjoy it until he found the source. After looking around, he hovered slightly to the left, spotting something red in the corner of his eye. He immediately jumped with a squeak and passed right through Angela, hiding behind her.
Where did she come from? Was she...? "She was inside of me!" He cried out, finally understanding what had happened, "My virginity! I want it back!" But, no, he knew it didn't work that way. What did people normally do in this situation...? Marriage. "I hope you're ready for a commitment, because... w-well, I'm not. But you've forced me into this!" ❝But the end's not the end
while you're still alive.❞

"No thank you," Angela said. "I believe I shall just..." She paused when she heard Penelope saying hello and turned to see her....superimposed over William. Ew. That just looked nasty. Before she could say anything though, William yelped and fled, passing through her (okay...that was weird) and babbling about marriage and virginity!?
What was with the men in this place being so weird about their virginity? Wasn't that supposed to be a girl thing?? Though this did reinforce the idea that William was a bit simple.
"Love," she said, turning to him. "I don't think it quite works that way. Because first of all, you're a ghost from what I can see. And...no, I'm not even touching on the rest of that. But I think you can rest assured your virginity is still intact. Because you were just in me about two seconds ago and that either means you just had an affair or we're going to have a very complicated relationship going forward."
She moved away from him, crossing her arms as she leaned against the wall. "So...Penelope, William. William, Penelope."You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

 Susan Chang
After a rather boring class, Susan walked out into the hallway to see Penelope, Angela and an unfamiliar male. He must be new. "Hey Penelope. Angela. Whos this?" she asked polietly and smiled at them. "My name is Susan. Susan Chang" she said to him and reached out her hand.

Penelope Mikelovitch Penelope yelped in shock as a boy appeared out of nowhere, passing through Angela to hide behind her while spouting accusations about.... naughty things. She blushed, unsure what to make of the boy and absolutely flustered by the sorts of things he was launching at her. "Wha- But- Where did- Forced you into? I don't, don't... what?" She said, feeling like she had just stepped off a cliff and landed on another planet. "What did I do? I mean, who? I mean, I'm... I'm sorry I didn't mean..." She trailed off, unable to make her nervous splutters shape into comprehensible sentences.
She may not have been too sure as to what happened, but as Angela started attempting to explain to the boy that what it meant to be, well, inside someone wasn't exactly what he thought it meant (thankfully not going into detail on it) The color drained from her face. She had been... standing... INSIDE of that boy?!
She felt weak.
"A-ah... Ahaha. W-w-will-william? Love-l-lovely name, yes." She said, extending a hand to shake before realizing what she was doing could never work. "...Oh, um... um... S-sorry! I didn't mean to, er, that is to say, I take it shaking h-hands is out of the, out of the question." She went to shove her hand into her pocket- stop! No pockets, she remembered this time. "Ni-nice to ah, to well, make your aqcuaintan... aqcuaintan... meet you. I'm, I'm so sorry about er, ah, being well... inside... Iwasn'twatchingwhereIwasgoing! Won't happen again! No."
And then there was Susan. Sweet Susan... who, in Penelope's rather nervous mind, showed up in all the most awkward situations at all of the most uncomfortable times. Well not all the time, but a lot. She couldn't help but stare at her friend's extended hand numbly as she introduced herself, her brain, at the moment, completely incapable of forming any sort of understandable language.

✴ William ✴
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ❝There are reasons to live,
there are reasons to die❞ William frowned when Angela turned to him, and frowned even more when she started explaining. Well, yeah, he knew he was a ghost. He was pretty sure that was obvious, and didn't really make a difference. But then she had to mention the fact that he was in her too... "Oh... Oh no. I'm so sorry. I..." Was there any way he could marry both of them? That would certainly solve the issue.
He smiled slightly and waved to Penelope as Angela introduced him to his apparent future wife. Well, one of them. But then she just... talked and talked... and talked some more. He didn't mind people who talked a lot, but it was hard to follow with all the stuttering, and by the end of it, he only caught bits and pieces. She must have been nervous about the wedding. Most people seemed to get nervous about those kinds of things.
"It's okay. As long as you don't run off on me, I won't have to haunt you," He reassured her with a wide grin, not wanting his 'first love' or whatever people called it to be inside him then leave him. That was generally frowned upon, wasn't it? He turned to the new girl, realizing that she knew his future wives. "As Angela said, I'm William. Nice to meet you, Susan," He was just about to reach out to try to shake her hand, but pulled it back at the last second, realizing that if he passed through her, he would add to his complicated relationship. "Ah, sorry, I think... I am content with two wives," He nodded. ❝But the end's not the end
while you're still alive.❞

Susan Chang
"Very nice to meet you William. Nice name William is" Susan said and reached her hand back as she noticed he couldn't shake it. "Oops. Sorry. I didn't realise" Susan stated and then a look of confusion came over her face. Wives? "Oh of course" she said to his comment about wives.

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...
"Oh, sorry," Angela said, hedging away from him. "I already have a fiance and it's a little more complicated to steal my virtue than just floating through me so I'm afraid we can't get married. Tarik would be incredibly disappointed. And my people don't believe in polygamy. So, yeah. Sorry about that."
It was just sad how often she was using him as a defense against weird guys lately. Though...it was really convenient too.
"Anyway, I believe it's time for me to head off to English and such. It really was a pleasure to meet you William. And to see you again Penny--we really do keep meeting at the oddest times, don't we? By the way--I noticed you and your sister were having a disagreement. You know, if you need anyone to beat her into a senseless pile of jelly, just find me after my arm heals, yeah?"
She waved at the group, backing away slowly for a few minutes before abruptly turning and limping off as fast as her sore, depressingly injured body with all its little emo cuts and bruises and stitches that constantly bothered her and ached and hurt to the point she could barely think about anything else, could carry her.

Penelope Mikelovitch Penelope nearly fainted dead away. Wife? WIFE? In what culture, exactly, did accidentally walking through a ghost constitute sudden and involuntary engagement? This concept absolutely horrified her, though really, what really, REALLY made her want to pass out was how Susan just seemed to nonchalantly (and possibly accidentally) accept everything that william had just said as if it were the most normal thing in the world, and Angela managed to quickly make some excuse and rush off as quickly as possible, leaving her to deal with... whatever this was herself.
"Ah, well, that's, you see, I mean, I... I I I I I I I- don't you think we're a l-little YOUNG?" Penelope could have strangled herself for not being able to say exactly what she was thinking, which was strangely enough, something like this:
Mate! That is NOT how things work around here! I'm SIXTEEN, and half of the time, a boy. For God's sake! No! Just no!
Of course, the fact that she suddenly realized that Angela had just called her Penny, which happened to be a nickname that caused a sort of atomic flusterbomb to go off in the pit of her stomach really threw all chance of comprehensible language out the window, and what she said actually went something like this:
"I mean, w-we h-hardly I mean w-we'vejust met and I certainly c-c-c-can't I m-mean I don't i-isn't theresupposedtobes-s-something about b-buying m-medinnerfirst?Imean OH! Look at the, look at the t-t-time! I-... I-..." Her face flushed red as she shut her eyes tightly "I'mreallysorrybutIcan'tbeyourwifebecauseit'sjustoddandIhavetogotoclassI'minenglishtoosoIreallyshouldgettherelikenowbutitwasreallynicetomeetyoubysusan!" She blurted, turning and running after Angela as quickly as she possibly could.

✴ William ✴
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ❝There are reasons to live,
there are reasons to die❞ William was glad to see that Susan understood the wife complication. He found it a little insulting that she apparently didn't want to join them, but that was fine. He didn't know how to be a husband anyway, so having too many wives would be a bad thing. He frowned when his second wife claimed that she already had a fiance.
Then that meant... they were breaking up? He slouched a little, disappointed by this realization and by the fact that she was trying to run away. He floated after her a short ways then stopped, sulking slightly. He turned back to the two others, noticing that Penelope didn't look like she was doing too well. And then she started flipping out.
"Too... young? I don't know how old am, and I didn't know there was an age limit," He told her with a pout, feeling insulted. He felt old enough. He wandered around aimlessly for what felt like years and years, so he was certainly in the apparently required age range for getting married. He furrowed his brows as he tried hard to comprehend what she was saying. She mentioned something about buying her dinner. Was that something that fiances did? He would have to keep that in mind for later.
He frowned when he was rejected again, watching sadly as his first wife ran off as well. And then their friend decided to follow. He didn't even get the chance to raise his hand to wave good-bye, since they were already gone. He was only at the school for a few minutes, and already three people clearly hated him. He was sure people would be a little nicer at this school, but no, he was way off. At least the people at the other school ran away because of what he was, and not who he was. Still not sure where he was going, he floated off in a random direction, moping and tempted to find a corner to cry in.

Samael Agnusdei ❝All men are not created equal. It is my purpose to make them so.❞
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
After spending quite a while busting up the old shutters over the windows in the detention room and cleaning the windows to let more light in for Charley and Billy, Samael needed to get out of that room. It kicked up so much dust that it was hard to breathe, and it was much more tiring to remove those old blinds than it should have been. He couldn’t just take a break from work though. So, his ‘break’ consisted of him just wandering the halls and making sure no shenanigans were going on.

 Veith was storming down the halls like a rhino! Well, that was impossible. He couldn't do that, but he was trying to walk quickly so he could get to the library so he could read, read, and read some more because he was enjoying a lot of alone time and he liked 'me' parties that involved books and more books.
So without any interruptions, he was going to have this alone time in the library at a corner where no one could find him. That was the greatness of being a short person. He could hide just about anywhere. First he just needed to get there.
He was not going to the library to mope. Not at all. Definitely not moping because he was guilty for knowing about Voldemort and letting the plan fester and get people hurt. There was definitely no guilt in his heart and he would not find a corner just to mope! He was doing it just to read.
