 Sheryl's retort was cut off since he had stopped and addressed them again, only Sheryl blushing faintly out of some slight embarrassment. Ranka simply bowed her head in return once more. "You're welcome." She started off softly, thinking about what her sister meant about how she wasn't friendly. How was she not friendly right now? Her crimson eye seemed to refocus upon him, gesturing to her sister when appropriate. "I'm Ranka Vremya. This is-" "-her twin sister Sheryl. A pleasure. I'm sure we will." Sheryl finished with a small smile, giving up on getting her sister to do the same. She understood quite well how subtle her sister usually was. She was just glad at this point that he didn't seem to find them too intimidating. So many seemed to, or at least whispered about them. From what she could tell, this appeared to be a normal occurrence amongst students. Though, he had just arrived. Perhaps he would be their first friend? Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself... She bowed as well once more, her blue eyes resting upon him.

 Well that was certainly a relief, though at mention of Cielo being a bad boy this caused him to look at his wolf counterpart with a raised eyebrow. The two seemed to look at each other competitively for a moment, sparks almost seeming to light up in their eyes, but it quickly faded as they both turned their attention to Elly. "mmm, I wouldn't be so quick to judge. He should though, considering I'm sure he values his freedom highly."
Seeing her shiver, this made him frown a little, but he didn't allow her to see. Instead he looked up with her, chuckling at how she caused drawings to appear. He took off his outer coat like jacket, placing it around her shoulders gently, not really seeming to care that he was missing an arm from his shirt since he had used it to bind one of the wounds sustained in the sparring match. It just gave him more of an edgy look. At least, more than he already did. He did lose gentleman points in terms of sharpness.(( Alright, I think I'm done for the night... morning? I'll see ya guys later! ^_^ ))

 Seiji had come to learn that appearances weren't everything. Sometimes the nicest of looking people could have sour personalities. It seemed to happen quite often. He himself tended to make himself look like a fool on occasion. In some places he'd been, many knew him simply by accidents he had caused. In others, it was a deed he might have done with his talents. So, he'd come to try and greet everyone with hospitality. It just made things easier that way.
"Mm. I'd like that," the young man replied. " Thank you again. Bye for now."
Seiji kept his smiled and waved lightly before turning on his heel and headed towards the dorms. They certainly seemed nice enough. And they'd been kind enough to point him in the right direction and converse with him shortly. They were all at the same school after all. Seiji was certain he would meet them again. Ranka and Sheryl Vremya. He would remember their names.
Looks like things won't be so bad after all, Seiji thought to himself.

He would like to meet them again? Ranka's mind processed that logically, understanding rather than showing an emotion related to it. "Have a good evening." She murmured, blinking as she saw him wave. It was almost as if she didn't understand, raising her hand to imitate him. There was an impulse there that had caught her offguard, waiting till he was gone to look at her hand confusedly. What was that? Sheryl said the exact thing as Ranka at the same time she did, in the same manner. It was the typical identical twin response except they were far from identical. Watching him go, she touched her sisters wrist gently since she seemed so perturbed, giving her a small smile. What surprised her was that she saw a faint smile on her sisters lips. She never smiled. Ever. This caused her own bright smile to spread across her features, blue eyes almost seeming to glow. "Well, now we have met someone. Perhaps he'll become our friend hm? Won't the Elder's be pleased." She murmured, the smile now gone from Ranka's lips. "It was a wave. Perhaps you were happy to have received one?" She asked softly, the two beginning to walk again. "Happy?" She touched her lips, realizing she had smiled for the first time. She smiled? Why had she smiled? "An emotion?" She mumbled, never really having the need for them. Her one eye blinked once and the confusion was gone, turning her head to look at Sheryl. "Yes. If that happens they will be pleased." She looked up to the sky, pausing on the spot. "Sheryl... they are starting to overflow.... Look." She pointed up to the sky where she could see spirits floating by, waiting to be cleansed and sent where they would. She had already done what she needed to, touching her eye patch. "We really should tonight..."Now that was a sight that troubled her. Grimacing, she sighed deeply, glancing around to see who else was around. Thinking it over for a moment, she finally nodded. "... Alright. Lets at least go away from campus." She murmured, the two heading off into the night.

 Elly smiled at the two of them looking at each other. It was a rather lucky strike that she was able to make them so friendly with each other. She smiled to herself and stared up at the her drawings again, her shoulders jumping a little when Tristan placed the jacket around her. She was about to protest, but she knew how guys were and how they would probably just bicker back and forth until someone gave in. She decided to save them the trouble and go with it, considering guys were warmer and it wasn't really that cold outside.
Elly let her legs wander herself and bother Tristan and Cielo around the campus, the night sounding so still at times where at others it sounded a little too noisey. "You know... there's this legend about Estelle Academy that a lot of people don't talk about or don't know. It has something to do with Atlas' great grandfather or something. It was said that he was studying to be a headmaster to a school that he graduated from and it was his dream to take it over. As he studied for it, he met a woman named Estelle whom he grown found of and started to fall in love with. Apparently Estelle was a very hot headed woman and found herslef in more trouble than anything. she had some strange power that was really rare, but still to this day, no one knows what it is. They say that after Estelle and the old headmaster married, something attacked the school and Estelle became mortally wounded and couldn't be saved. Another rumor says that she was burried somewhere on campus in one of the courtyards, though through living here for six years I haven't found it. I think it is in the woods somewhere for Estelle and the headmaster loved to explore it. It's quite sad though, having to raise a child while your lover dies. I felt bad for him. Atlas' father is such a nice man, but they do not seem a like at all! We never met his mother for she died after he was born and his great grandfather practicly raised him. He had the power of time travel and he hardly aged, though he is very ancient now. Elly told him as they came towards the lake, the moon shining upon it, creating a shadowy effect. The surface of the lake seemed calm, but everynow and then you could see massive ripples of something happening underwater.

It hadn't taken long to reach the dorms. Seiji may have gotten himself lost, but after heading in the right direction it was fairly easy to find them. In fact, after finally reaching them, looking over his map, it seemed quite easy to read and make sense of. He felt foolish for having gotten lost in the first place. That wasn't exactly a bad thing though, he had met both Ranka and Sheryl. At the very least, he was meeting people and despite only speaking for a moment, the two seemed friendly enough to him.
When he finally reached his dorm, he was slightly surprised to find that he currently had the dorm to himself. As it turned out, no one else had been assigned to this dorm. That was fine, it only meant Seiji would have a place to come back to for some quiet time, for the time being anyway. Meeting new people was always fun, but it was always nice to be alone sometimes. Seiji enjoyed the peace and quiet at those times where his head was swimming with thoughts or something was troubling him. The silence made it easier to think.
Looking about the room, Seiji claimed his side by placing his pack onto the bed, unzipping it and pulliing out the contents. Mainly clothes, a few personal items, such as his an ear ring or two or a bracelet he'd received from his mentors when he had finally left and set out on his own. But travelling light was something Seiji was used to, carrying too much made it troublesome too move about. Asides from the few personal accessories, a bit of money and the clothes, the only other thing in the pack was his prized possesion.
At the bottom of the pack, after removing his clothes lay a small white item. It was a dazzling white, not the sort of white that had faded or become dirty. It's sheen made it seemed brand new, even though Seiji had it with him for as long as he could remember. It looked almost similar to a cell phone, in size and shape. About the length of both of Seiji's hands, it was a couple inches thick and as well as a couple inches wide. Reaching in to his pack, Seiji took hold of the item and lifted it up slowly, his eyes observing the craftsmanship in it.
He felt so whole, holding the white object. As it was, it made a perfect handle, and the material it was made of was strong enough to endure. Exhaling slowly, Seiji felt his kei course through his arm, and willed it into the white object. His arm pulsed for a moment, the kei becoming visible as it moved, his kei was a purple colour. The purple seemed to outline his arm, wavering at first and then became steady. Flowing from his arm and into Dite, the name of the object, Seiji brought his other arm up and gripped with both hands.
The Dite pulsed for a moment, and as Seiji let one last sudden jolt of kei into it, the Dite seemed to extend and change in shape. It became long and thin, ending in a point. His Dite had changed into a katana, the blade as brilliant white as the handle. It was a bit of an odd sight to see, a pure white katana outlined in purple, due to his kei. But Seiji was relived by this sight, it had been while since he had used his Dite, it was a part of him. Smiling lightly, Seiji let his kei steadily flow into the blade for a moment longer before cutting off the kei which caused the Dite to return to it's smaller form.
Sighing with relief, the raven haired man tucked his Dite into a pocket and began to put his items away. As he did so, he had to wonder. What other types of people would he meet here at Estelle Academy?

 His approach was slow and steady, his mind wandering to the point where he only noticed Tsuki when Vadasz landed on her hand, his colourful plumage catching his steely gaze. He nodded briefly to her as he drew closer, but made no move to talk or to follow her around the lake as she left. If she didn't want his company he would not force it upon her, at least not yet.
Remaining on his mount he gave the large horse it's head, the animal bending down to drink from the lake. Either it didn't know of what lay in it's waters or it did and didn't care. A few lights bobbed uncertainly around the animals head, apparently cautious to attack. Jareth watched in a bored manner, ready to step in if things got too nasty. His eyes travelled across the water towards the arts teacher and trainer. He could see the lights were trying to bother her too, but she'd managed to get rid of them, bringing a smile to his sharp, chilly features.
"That's my girl," he muttered, leaning slightly forward as if talking into Calcifer's ear.

Blinking when she started, realizing she may very well not want his coat, but she didn't say anything. So he assumed it was alright. It wasn't like really felt warmth or cold. Least not in these temperatures. Extreme's of either were not really friendly though. They wandered around campus together, Cielo seeming quite at home with himself which was welcome, his gaze falling upon her when she spoke. Honestly, he hadn't heard this legend either, though he wasn't surprised at all. He couldn't help but smirk at hearing that Estelle was a hot head and troublemaker, shaking his head slightly.
Oh? A grave on campus? He pursed his lips in thought, looking up to the stars with a hum. "It certainly would be well protected there. I'm sure there have been more than one curious folk." He mused, tilting his head a little as he listened to the last part. "At least he had someone to take care of him. One parent is better than none." He murmured softly, noticing the large ripples before he raised his eyes skyward. He could sense possibly dead things in the water, but he wasn't sure so he left it be and decided not to ask.

 Tsuki caught his nod out of the corner of her eye, returning it slightly as she continued to walk along the edge. Vadasz's head suddenly turned and he cooed, causing her to look at what was grabbing his attention. Ah... Elly and Tristan were taking a walk as well. The sight of them made her smirk faintly, two pairs of lights floating up near her. Her normally calm and gentle teal eyes suddenly flared a deep crimson, hardening as her features twisted into a colder expression. It was so foreign to her face that it almost seemed alien. "I warned you once." She hissed in a voice almost like a crones, or a snakes. Throwing two slips of paper, they had something written on them, the water boiling a little as they hit their mark. It almost seemed like there was a screeching in the air, soft but annoying.
The paper's disintegrated as the lights faded away to nothing, remaining underwater. Turning her gaze away, she took a deep breath and sighed, her features smoothing out as her eyes swirled and returned to a more grey teal than before. Clearing her throat, she suddenly ran up to one tree and jumped up into it's branches, leaping through the air easily to land on the roof top of the nearest building, landing lightly, her kimono rippling in the moons light. She realized full well that Jareth may make another sweep this night, but that wasn't what was forefront in her mind. The Elder's were up to something, she could feel it in her bones. The twins were absent and tending to matters, grimacing slightly. Why would they send them here? It was puzzling her to no end, Vadasz remaining a silent comfort on her shoulder.

After putting everything away, Seiji was left with very little to do. His options were limited. It wasn't like he knew the layout of the whole school yet either. He'd have to carry his map around for the time being. Which wasn't really a problem, it was just that he wasn't sure what to do. Meeting people was an option, but it wasn't always easy to just walk up to someone and introduce yourself. Some people were more friendly than others. That being said, hopefully the majority of people would be tolerant enough to speak with him. Seiji would like it more if he could meet people rather than spending his studies in isolation.
If he was lucky, he'd run into the two form before, Ranka and Sheryl. If not, he'd just be wandering about the campus doing whatever. Either way, he needed something to do. Even so, just wandering around would be better than doing nothing. At least he could start to learn the grounds. Learning his way about would be a good way to pass the time. Better than sitting about wasting his time.
Sighing to himself, Seiji patted his pocket, where he had stored his Dite and rose to his feet. Making sure to grab the map, he headed for the door of his dorm and quickly exited. Wandering about seemed to be the best thing he could do for the moment. Entering into the hall, he closed the door behind him and locked the door. Better to be safe than sorry. Heading for the building entrance, Seiji looked over the map, trying to memorize it as he did so.

Elly frowned a bit when Tristan commented on how one parent was better than none. To leave that comment and keep it from forming again, she decided to distract him with something advizefull. She walked up to the water of the lake and turned around, the glow of the moon shining upon her face. "I don't know if you know this already, but this lake has mermaids in it, though they really only come out during the day. But some of them come out during the night, in which they are the most dangerous. Mermaids aren't what people say they are in stories and fairytales for they aren't all nice and friendly. If you stare too deeply into their eyes they can draw you in and drown you not to mention if they bite your wrist, you will be poisoned by them," she mused and smiled, bending down and tapping and splashed her fingers into the water making rippled in them. Suddenly with hardly any ripples at all, a head emerged out of the lakes surface, the eyes peered at you as though you were prey, the tint of them a creepy yellow. It was a female mermaid with pale white skin and turquoise colored hair. She stared Elly in the eyes as she came up to her. The Mermaid smiled and tilted her head, reaching a finny arm up to Elly's arm and tried to lure her into the lake. Suddnely, Elly engulfed both hands with light and shone them towards the mermaid, the female making a loud screech before returning to the depths of the lake. It quickly popped its head out and hissed at Elly through dangerous eyes. "It's the light user hhhhiiissss!!! I ought to cut thy hands for blinding me! I do not like you SSSS!!" the mermaid said in a hateful tongue, splashing water at them before returning.

Tristan caught the glow out of the corner of his eye, turning his violet eyes down to her, his expression seeming to soften as he did. She was so very lovely... He snapped out of it and glanced down to the water with a certain air of distaste with a sigh. He listened to her, almost about to speak but he didn't, instead content to watching her. He was full ready to tug her away and make her sort of like him should the mermaid try something, but he also knew she might not need it. And sure enough, she didn't though he did start to reach a hand towards her, himself blinded by the light a little bit. Then that deafening screech. His eye twitched involuntarily, narrowing his eyes as he looked down to them. "Friendly bunch." He muttered, tearing his eyes away and up to her instead. He thought he caught Tsuki's movement to the roof, but he wasn't really sure.
"Ms. Kobiyashi warned me of the lake. If you see lights, don't stare into them, you'll end up dead in the water. Literally. If it goes suddenly still and something leaps at you, go ghost and back the hell up. If something attempts to lure you in, again, go ghost and get away. Ghosts still slip through their fingers." He finally spoke, smirking slightly. He began to walk again, not really feeling the need to linger there.

Elly got up and followed him, the lake waters still rippling farther out as they left. "There are other creatures in the waters too, like lake monsters that look really weird. I knew a guy a few years ago that would think up creatures and they would appear out of no where and many teachers had to either kill them or capture them. Once he controlled his abilities, Atlas had him make some creatures to protect the academy on his comand. He was one of Atlas' favorite students too, though I think it's because of the fact that that guy caused crazy problems and Atlas just enjoyed them. It's weird too... Atlas likes to deal and cause problems and there is also a part of me that likes to create them sometimes. Haha I guess i'm a bit of a troublemaker too, i just don't show it much," she told Tristan and smiled as though she did something bad and then laughed outloud at herself.

Sheryl was the first to return, taking a deep breath as she seemed to exit out of the leaves of a tree just off of campus, landing lightly upon the ground. Straightening up slowly, she started to walk back, glancing up to the sky to double check things. The moon was beautiful, the stars twinkled, and there were no more spirits floating up there. Good. Allowing herself a small smile, she glanced down the street and almost seemed to skip across it, her toes touching lightly upon the grass beneath a sakura tree. Ah... so she knows we are here. She raised her eyes to a figure on the roof top of a distant building, smirking as she gave a small wave. "Yo-ho~" She said sweetly, giggling before she seemed to pause. Straightening up, she leaned against a tree, folding her arms over her chest as she waited for her twin to arrive.Ranka's entrance was much less.... er... pleasant. It sounded like there was a tearing in the woods not far from where Sheryl had come out, the air seeming to have been ripped open. The world beyond was darkness, at least it seemed so. She flew through, landing lightly on the ball of her feet. In the same motion she spun about and brought her scythe down, closing up the tear she had made. The screams and voices that had floated through the tear were gone, the tree's silent. It was to be expected nothing wanted to poke their head out. Twirling her scythe in her hands, the blade clunked and folded inward so it almost seemed to curve over the pole, sliding it into it's sheath on her back.
Her foot steps were silent in the grass, glancing down the street as she broke the tree line, noticing Sheryl was already waiting for her. She also seemed to skip across, landing lightly upon the grass underneath the same tree. straightening slowly. "The Elder's are pleased." She murmured, raising her eyes to Tsuki's form in the distance. "Should we approach her?" She asked, crimson eye resting upon the form."No. Do not engage her unless she speaks to us first-" Sheryl answered, starting to walk as her sister did, the two falling into step. They were both a bit tall for girls, both standing at about 5'7". Maybe an inch or two taller. "What do you wish to do sister?""That is what the Elder's told us." Ranka finished the first sentence, the two sounding quite robotic with each other. "I believe you already know the answer to that." She answered, now glancing about the campus."Do I? Indeed I do. We shall." Sheryl smirked slightly while her sisters face remained as impassive and deadpan as ever. The two held a sort of pale glow in the moonlight, the paleness of their skin clearer since it matched the moons so well. She glanced around the courtyard in the opposite direction of Ranka, the two simply walking around campus to explore. It wasn't like either one needed that much sleep.
