"Better lock it in your pocket, you're taking this one to your grave."


"Well..." Simon began after she elaborated on a wish if his to apparently be stalked. He smirked and raised an eyebrow, but said nothing more about it. He had been stalked before. It wasn't his style; being the prey and all. He looked up and nodded as Tanis introduced her snake, and he held up his own little pet in his hands for her to see. "Norman. He snores, just tap on the glass if it's too loud." He said simply, about to put the cage back in his lap, though he stopped when she mentioned his eyes. He had forgotten he had even taken his eyepatch of, and only when he replaced it did he answer. "Ah, thanks. I grew them myself. Really though, don't let this one bother you." He said, pointing at his patch, "I'm fully blind, that's why it's discoloured like this." He said, scooting uncomfortably. The eye patch usually attracted girls looking for the bad boy type, but when they found out he was blind they usually lost interest. Then he got even more uncomfortable at her next question. He'd never really told anyone about his "power" before, other than his parents. Even then, that was only by necessity. Having a 6'8" spider in replace of a son wasn't exactly the most comforting, but they tried to accept him as he was. The only other guys who found out were too scared to talk about it. The girls, however... "For now, let's just say I'm a bit of a cat in your cat and mouse analogy. We're both hunters, I suppose." He said, forming a not-so-genuine smile. He wished it was, though. She seemed so free and accepting of herself, he wondered if she'd be just like the others. He wondered, rather melodramatically, if anyone wouldn't have the fight or flight instinct whenever they saw his true form. He coughed into his hand and looked out the window, suddenly feeling like he was back in grammar school. "Soo... Met any of the others, yet?" He asked, crisscrossing his legs and absentmindedly looking through his backpack again. If he'd forgotten anything, though, there wasn't a chance of going back for it.

Simon kept a disgruntled silence while Josiah was in the cabin, only looking at Tanis from up on his bed every few minutes. She evidently had had a problem with the guy before, given the awkward atmosphere he felt between them. He watched the girl as she introduced Josiah and flushed when she saw he was half naked, but didn't answer her question until he left. "It's a Rubix cube," He answered almost immediately after the door closed, tossing it down to her so she could see it, "It's supposed to work with math, but I'm not very good at it..." He said, rubbing where Josiah patted him. It itched. "Hey, what was that about? Is he always so..." He drifted off, moving his hands up and down to try and describe what he felt from him. "Gruff, I guess?" Simon asked, giving up on his pantomime rather quickly. He seemed friendly enough, if not straight up intimidating. It reminded him of the few months of school that led up to him discovering his ability, which didn't leave him with a good feeling about him.

Josiah entered the room. Noticing the stagnate air between Simon and Tanis made him rather disappointed, he hope she'd try and communicate or get to know the one-eye man further. Simon's pale appearance reminded him of the more slavic peoples he'd meet on his trip. He wonder if he hailed from the Eastern Euro area. Josiah didn't pry into the idea much further. As he walked in, bare chested and footed he jumped on the bed

He laid at a lower level than the two--his gaze was averted upwards as he stared at both. He pouted like a child, a facade yes, but it was an exaggeration of his disappointment in the stale air the room had gained.

"Honestly you're hormonal, angsty, and flushed teens--Why don't I feel like you guys didn't suck face AT ALL." He sighed as he dramatized the whole idea of them making out while he was gone. Sure Josiah had his own love troubles, but damn it that wasn't love. This was supposed to be pent up hormonal whatever

"I don't know why I even try with you children! I mean look at him Tanis. He's like one of those really shoujo manga guys with the princely aura or some s**t." He continued to his teasing rant. He crossed his arms as he laid down, looking at Simon for a moment.
"You actually look really pretty for a dude--Are you sure you aint a girl. N-Not that I don't discriminate to..ah...Um. Whatever gender you may align to!" He Suddenly remembered Bryn's little hobby of going on a website to tease Josiah about how awkward he is towards certain folks. Josiah was flustered for a little bit, but resumed his punkish d-bag attitude.

"Listen, I'm not trying to be a terrible guy here. Sure I may be a little rough around the edges. We all got our issues and s**t. So far you guys are more...tame then the rest of the menagerie of misfits. Not that I got much to complain about." Josiah suddenly pulled out his steel flask. Knocking down the last bits of alcohol in the container. Suddenly he remembered Aria's flustered moment once he reveal the cliche 'indirect kiss' comment.

He looked at the flask, he looked at the little container fondly. Josiah didn't feel so pure. Suddenly knowing that Aria wasn't the only person to press their lips on it. He chuckled as he already knew who to think about. Didn't make him feel better, however it was good enough for a nostalgia.

Josiah looked towards Tanis. Looking back on the moment in which she bore her past to him. Josiah took a bit of charge.

"Who wants to go on the life story wheel first? Don't have to bring dirt laundry here at all, but something to start us all of with." Josiah looked to the fellow inhabitants of the room. His voice dropped to a more serious and more commanding tone. It was as if he was brokering a deal, a rather shade-y one at that. Josiah's coy and bravado was gone for a moment. It was if he pulled back on the hammer of a revolver.


He didn't want a no for an answer. And for that quick instant the mood shifted. From commanding and dark, back to the dudebro Josiah he tried to make for himself. He smirked to the both of them, coy and strong. He knew he wasn't giving much of an option for them. He wasn't trying to--and that tight spot that nestled them in there...it made him smirk

Kyrio had effectively followed the half naked man- seriously why the bloody hell was he naked- down the long halls of the train with ease. Her red orbs wandered about as she walked, taking in even more sights and room she had failed to notice on her first walk through. Was that a angel?

Anyways, onto more pressing matters, the boy walked into a cabin and she halted so she could give him more time to get adjusted. When she slowly walked toward the door, she realized very quickly that the team name matched hers and she had been in the same cabin only thirty minutes prior.

So he's in my team, she thought as she closed her eyes and opened the sliding door with a thud. The sight she took it was not as humble as when she was there prior, but the snake girl, the half naked boy, and another one as well sitting opposite of each other. The boy she followed was on the bottom bunks as the others were on the upper.

At least my s**t wasn't touched, she thought as she glared at the left corner bed that one of them was swinging over.

Plopping down onto it, she pulled her legs to her chest and looked toward those in the room. She whistled before drawling out, "The tension in this room could be cut with a knife, eh."

"Better lock it in your pocket, you're taking this one to your grave."


Simon listened to Tanis as she stuttered on about Josiah, thinking she was quite cute though perhaps slightly focused on him. When she asked him what the guy had meant about being a "looker" and to go get them, he simply shrugged. He figured even with his rather convincing master of the English language, he could play the foreigner card and not have to explain. Honestly, he'd rather not have it come from a guy if they thought he was aesthetically pleasing, which he could only assume Josiah had whispered to her. Thankfully, she went on to ask about his cube. Again, though he was interested on the subject, he wasn't very good at explaining it. He opened his mouth slightly when she slithered up to sit next to him, but only closed it again and pursed his lips in irritation with his own self, and again shrugged. "I've been told you have to do maths to figure it out, but my mom threw away the manual before I could read it. Don't even know if that would have helped, honestly." He said, showing her absentmindedly the colours as they moved around, each line and square coming close to their home side but eventually losing the thought. He kept quiet for the most part as he did, other than quiet "here"s and "almost"s followed by a huff of irritation, though he laughed it off well enough. He didn't like not being able to figure things out.

He was so focused and fiddling with his plastic toy that he almost jumped when Josiah entered the room again, thinking he must have forgotten something to be back so soon. But, with a quick look to his watch he figured he and Tanis had been busy simply relaxing for long enough for the hour hand to have moved so much. Of course, it wasn't simply his teammate's entrance that scared him; the sucking face comment made him flush, and evidently so did Tanis, giving her hostile reaction after that. The comment about actually being a girl he was expecting, but the blunt statement that "he actually looked really pretty" made him flush even deeper. The jocks at his old schools usually made that mistake, and it didn't help that braids looked so darn good on him. When his hair was longer the girls in his classes used to play with it, not that he minded. But he didn't want to hear that from a guy. It made his right eye feel weird, like there was a spider plucking at the tendons. He just sighed deeply; unlike that b*****d Yuri, he didn't seem like he meant harm to him or the girls in the cabin, though he was sounding a little rude. He leaned on his elbow and looked down at Josiah, visible eyebrow raised as he smirked. "I'd prove my sex and gender, but I don't think Tanis or this other young lady," he added as another girl walked in, "Would appreciate the gesture." He said, breaking eye contact to smile handsomely at their new arrival, bowing from his bunk politely. Of course, then Josiah introduced him and he just kind of stopped, a bemused stare changing his features from attractive to rather boyish. "Uh... You called me a shoujo manga guy earlier, too. Did you hit your head? Are you okay?" He asked bluntly, actually almost concerned for his own safety in the future.

He'd rather believe that his teammate was dying from a brain hemorrhage than that he was consciously complimenting him, if he could even take it as such. He shook his head again and tried his best to smile at the girls again. "I think to break the ice we've created, I should go first." He said, sitting up straight and crossing his legs up on his bed. "My name is Simon Pasternak, I'm a single child from Moscow. My parents work lower ranking office jobs for the government, I've lived comfortably all my life, had a few girlfriends, and have beenexpelledfrommorethanhalftheschoolsinthewestofthecountry. Nice to meet you all!" He said, the latter half of his introduction he barreled through, hoping he spoke quickly enough and his accent would make them just politely accept that they had no idea what he said. He'd rather not have to explain himself before they got to know him.
