The waters didn't seem too friendly, considering just how calm they were the last time that he had seen them. Whitecaps churned and a riptide was apparent.

Black eyes flicked to the heavens, noticing that the sky was clear, not a cloud to be seen. Odd. Not only that, but there was nothing but a gentle breeze blowing against his half-naked frame.

Despite the lingering winter chill, Adrian shucked off his jacket and set it high up on a rock so that the tide could not reach it. He shivered and then took a step towards the angry waters.

The rising tide pulled at his ankles with every departure, only to come back again, stronger and higher. All the while, the teen made no other move towards the water, dark eyes intently piercing the waters ahead, as if challenging them to a duel.

And then he heard whispers from the waves, the churning nearly drowning them out, but they were there. At least he thought they were.

Something was off.

Without further thought and indecision, a dark foot stepped foreward, and then the other, process repeating until the cold water swirled around his bare chest.

The cold didn't bother him in the least, and after fighting the waters for a while, Adrian finally pushed off the bottom and let the sea take him, relaxing entirely as he was pulled under.

It was then that he realized... He was in an entirely different, yet oddly familiar world.

Home.

Before the sentimental value could even hit him, a clawed hand grabbed his leg and pulled him sharply into the darkness.
PostPosted: Sun Apr 10, 2005 12:22 am


He gasped out, legs unable to kick when said hand bound his ankles together, and then his wrists in very swift, precise movements with some unknown, sturdy object. That same hand went over his mouth to prevent any unnecessary noises from coming out of the captive's mouth till it wanted him to speak, or scream.

Jerking him back into a darker cavern of sorts, Adrian could only make out various shapes and the occasional sea animal going by whilst he was dragged back by the very strong creature that held him captive.

He had stopped struggling by then, finding his earlier attempts quite fruitless. Finally, the creature stopped and shoved the Simu roughly up against the wall with a low growl, a blade could immediately be felt against his neck and he gulped, eyes shifting in attempts to see his kidnapper.

All attempts failed.

Before he could get a word out, the creature spoke in a rough feminine voice, in some sort of variation or dialect of the ancient Greek language. "Who are you?!" The blade was pressed even further into the black skinned neck as Adrian tried desperately to push away from the blade. Crazy wenches. "How is it that you survive here human? I see neither tanks, nor gills... Speak now or embrace death."

Fortunately for the Simu, he could pick out most of what the creature was saying, but with his usual composure lost, he was fumbling left and right for the words to answer.

'Jeez, this one's just as bad as Zanna,' he thought to himself before answering in the closest possible language that he knew whilst tilting his chin further up in another attempt to dodge the blade. "My name's Adrian... I just can, and I'm not human... Came from this..."

Somehow, he managed a motion to his necklace, and not moments after did he feel the blade released and his bounds cut free. When he looked down at the creature, he was shocked to see that it was definately a woman and she was definately bowing to him. "My lord, please forgive me... I did not know. My name's Anemone, and I serve you still..."

"Um..." Adrian simply blinked, eyes taking in the obvious warrior when she finally 'stood' up. She was a mere-creature, a creature he had read about but couldn't quite place the name. This one in particular was stunning, built like a tank and wearing a mix of shell and chainmail armor. The Simu noted that the metal did not seem to be showing any signs of rust.

"What. The. ********." The teen was left mouth agape, and was very glad she didn't know English.

Her hair, which was as black as his skin and tied up by seaweed in a high pony tail, played around her face in an eerie fashion, but her words soon yanked him back from his trance. "I'm so sorry my lord, but you died... Triton now holds your thrown..."

When this explanation earned her naught but an eyebrow raise and more mouth gaping, the warrior frowned before nodding sharply and motioning him towards the dark bowels of the cave. "There is someone you must meet my lord... Follow me through the safe waters."

With that, the woman immediately began swimming through where she had motioned previously, leaving a very confused and dumbfounded Adrian behind until he decided that being with her was damned safer than being alone.

So thus he followed, a part of him strangely confident in his choice.

The soothing sound of waves breaking nudged him from his dreamless sleep, his eyes slowly opening as he woke up. He was damp, hair tussled with seaweed and sand stuck in it.

Disoriented, the teen pushed himself up off of the sand and looked around. It was clear he was on a beach, but he didn't remember exactly how he got there.

Oh he remembered the visit with those mere-people, it was hard not to given what they had told him and the time he had spent with them.

How long it had been exactly, the teen didn't know. Weeks, maybe months?

Either way, his mind didn't seem to remember how or why he was on this strange beach.

"What the ******** is going on?" He muttered to himself as he shook the seaweed and as much sand as possible out of his hair, his eyes darting along the deserted beach.

And then, he started walking.

Adrian meets Yain.Link

XBear
Weaving through various people, the tall, and quite adgitated, teen had decided that due to his various qualms with the application and its writers, would visit the school himself.

If at all possible he had to provide more evidence for his valid complaint.

His eyes catching someone in the distance, the black teen smirked at the paper load and then picked up his pace in order to reach him at the precise...

Wham!

...moment.

The sound of the 'accidental' impact combined with a grunt from Adrian, to add affect of course, the teen stumbling somewhat afterwards. "Oof..."


Professor Yain
"It's not bad, I guess..." Yain murmured, shifting through the pile of applications he held until he found the one that she and her mother submitted. "...Just, it's in your handwriting. Your mother attached this note to your application, so it's rather easy to do a comparison." He flashed her a smug grin.

"Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort, if nothing else. You're not responsible for your mother's actions though, and shouldn't feel like you are. However I feel towards your mother (crazy hormonal thing) I'm not going to automatically assume of you." He stopped there, tired of the lecture already. He shoved the letter into the papers composing this girl's application, if only because he wasn't sure what else to do with it.

Of course, that particular effort was in vain because he was promptly ran into a few moments later, causing a reflexive reaction of throwing the papers up and scattering them everywhere. He briefly thought of snow, watching his hard work go to waste, and then of murder. He had thankfully managed to keep his balance with some stumbling (though unfortunately not too gracefully, as the papers showed) but his ego was most decidedly bruised and demanded for revenge. Tilting his head to the side and narrowing his eyes at the newcomer, Yain let out an almost inaudible 'hmph'.

"Excuse you." He groused, kneeling down to start collecting the papers up again.

Edit -- Of course, 'fate' (how funny, he mentally noted to give her a good kick in the head sometime) decided that another student would wander up and... start staring creepily at him. "Nice to meet you too, I'm sure," Yain replied, subtly edging away. He decided that it wouldn't be nice to point out that this young man was most decidedly blue. He probably knew by now anyway.


XBear
Perfect.

Amidst the snowing of papers, Adrian let his, which he pulled from his back pocket, into the lot of them with a smirk. However, when the teacher turned around Adrian adopted a wide eyed look of horror.

"s**t. Listen I'm sorry, let me help you..." Before waiting for an answer, the teen kneeled down where he was standing, and almost immediately leaned his hips against the long haired man as Adrian moved to collect some out of reach papers.

He also mentally thanked the desk being 'in his way' for an apt excuse to cop an 'accidental' feel from this fine man... or woman? He'd have to explore this fact at a later date.

"Scuse me, your desk is a tad in the way..." Adrian murmered in a matter of fact explanantion as he gathered papers.


Professor Yain
Yain's expression seemed to have permanently set into a perfect example of a real-life 'wtf' emoticon -- eyes widened, one eyebrow raised, slightly frowning, and generally looked very disturbed.

Well, okay, maybe he should start fearing fanboys more now. One boy staring creepily into his eyes, another practically grinding into him -- did no one have any concept of personal space?

He skittered away from the area where Adrian was working at picking up papers, mumbling a quick "Thank you" so as to not look too suspicious. Crawling over into a corner, Yain sat crouched there, absent-mindedly picking up application papers and sorting them into a semi-neat stack while keeping a paranoid watch on all of the students present. No mercy. Any of them could pounce at any given moment. ...Where was Benedikt or Rin when you needed them? He would've even enjoyed Dink's sudden appearance at this point, if such a thing were to happen. Don't let your guard down, these people were armed, dangerous, and out for blood.

He briefly saw one young man nervously hanging back, a piece of paper in his hand, and sighed. So maybe not all of them, unless this person was trying to decieve him. He didn't feel like deceit, though. "Thank you," He called out to him, gesturing him over.


XBear
Once Yain had moved, Adrian made a motion as to look at a watch, one he didn't own, before standing up and handing the man his papers. "Once again, I'm sorry but I must leave... Just had to drop off an application.."

With a smirk and a wave, the teen turned around and strode off through the crowd, chuckling softly to himself as he disappeared out of the school.

RP at Somonen Academy

Adrian Okeanos
Adrian strolled across the lawn, never really having left the school, just the chaos of the main hall. For most of the day he had been exploring, and taking various notes on the more secluded areas of the school.

He was glad to see his priorities were back on track.

Nevermind the nagging feeling he had whenever he'd see water or hear someone talking about the ocean, the teen simply pushed it back and away for now.

His eyes eventually wandered to another sprawled in the grass, smoking a cigarette. This quirked his attention, for whenever the Simulacra was actually at home, X had outlawed the 'cancer sticks' from her estate, and as for the other place he had been 'living' as of late...

...Well smoking just didn't happen underwater.

"Hey you." Adrian lazily motioned to the male on the lawn, and towards the cigarette specifically, "Do you mind if I bum a puff?"


Stormy Hound
Stacy scrambled a bit, surprised then unsure if this guy was actually talking to him. After taking a minute to recover and look the guy over, he took another cig from his pocked and handed it over. "Sure, no problem" he spoke smoothly before handing a lighter to the guy.

He didn't bother to get up, he was enjoying the grass and didn't really have anywhere to go anyway.


Adrian Okeanos
Sitting down next to him, the teen took the two items offered to him, putting the cig into his mouth before bringing the lighter up to light it. Warily watching the flame, Adrian kept it out only for the minimum amount of time needed.

Handing the other's lighter back to him, the Simu took a drag and coughed almost immediately. "Never could smoke one of these before..." He explained in a half mutter, pulling the cigarette away and eyeing it thoughtfully. "Not bad though... The name's Adrian, you apply here?"

Too lazy to involve his hormones into the current situation, Adrian just leaned back and eyed the other guy over in one appreciative motion, making a mental note for now.


Stormy Hound
"Yeah, it takes some getting used to." Stacy freaked a little as the younger male sat next to him and forced himself to regain control of his thoughts. He nodded. "I applied. Dunno if I'm what they'd want, though." He reached up and stroked his left ear, smoothing out the deep bluish tinged fur and soothing the itch that had taken hold.

"You rooming here if you're accepted? I signed for a double, in the long run it costs less." He lifted up a bit and swished his tail from under himself, sighing at the sudden free feeling.

"Oh" he added "I'm Stacy."


Adrian Okeanos
"Understandable... I'm pretty ******** sure I won't get in..." The black-skinned teen trailed off as he took another drag, pausing absently before continuing with an amused chuckle. "I kind of insulted whoever wrote the application, and then wished pain upon them for doing such a bad job. May not get me in, but it bloody amused me..."

Like the other had said, Adrian was getting 'used' to this whole smoking thing, coughing every so often. Maybe he just didn't like fire? Oh well, he wanted to smoke so he could just deal with it for now.

"Yeah, if is the opperative word there, signed up for a roommate too... Hopefully he's good on the eyes too." The last part was added subconsciously, the teen shrugging somewhat before shifting his near obsidian eyes towards Stacy in a smirk.


Stormy Hound
He nodded knowingly. How incredibly interesting...

Licking his lips he grinned, longish "fangs" showing in a smirk of sorts. "It'll do 'em good to be pissed off about somethin'. I woulda done the same if my old man didn't force me to make it look good. Unfortunately or not, can't really say which, it'll be his fault if I make it in... which is good since it's what I wanna do and good since I'll live away from him, but bad because he'll rub it in so hard." He stopped there, surprised and slightly taken aback at how he spilled all that out so easily. He eyed Adrian suspiciously as he finally thought to put his lighter back in his pocket.

"I share your sentiments, I hope my roomie is as sexy as that goat-boy I spotted in the admission's office"


Adrian Okeanos
"I applied to escape a few things..." Returning his gaze to sky, he inhaled deeply, closing his eyes momentarily before reopening them. "But was it really you on the application?" Adrian questioned, tilting his head and raising an eyebrow before chuckling low at his next comment.

"Then you'll love the teachers then... 'Accidentally' grinded against his a**, totally ********." His grin widened as he murred lightly in his throat at the memory, "But I must meet this 'goat boy' you speak of, have had enough of women these past couple months..."


Stormy Hound
"Yeah, it was me. It was just.. not in a way that I would have put it. Or rather, things I wouldn't have cared to mention, I dunno."

He nodded at the comment regarding women. "I know what you mean, the only woman I can bear to even be around is my sister and, hey, lucky me she's reclusive as hell." He laughed at that, so was he, but here he was sitting on a lawn in a public place prattling on to a complete stranger as though it was normal for him.

Shifting uncomfortably he chose to attempt.. to disregard the "totally ********" comment, again willing his mind back under control. Down boy, dooown. he thought, his mouth wattering slightly. Thinking about the goat boy didn't help.. at all.


Adrian Okeanos
"Good." Running a hand through his hair and pushing it out of his face, the teen made a light scoffing noise. "Despite the amount of great women I've had in the past few months, I just need a change of scenery... And attitude..."

Adrian raised an eyebrow at the look on Stacy's face when he finally noticed it, sitting up and cocking his head slightly. "You okay there..?"

Of course, he knew exactly what that look meant, smile quirking at the edge of his mouth.


Stormy Hound
"Oh, yeah, I'm good." Stacy almost exploded upon realizing a double meaning in his statement. He sighed softly and laid back, folding an arm under his head, to look up at the sky. He suddenly felt kind of weird "camping" out in front of the Academy like this, but he had no desire to go home, and enjoyed the company of Adrian a hell of a lot better than the murky dense human-substitute lifeforms in any bar around town.

"Girls are useless." he muttered.

He layed a moment, thoughtful. He'd kill the guy if he looked at his sister like that, but any other woman, he didn't care.

"Yeah... HEY!" Stacy shoved the other male playfully. "I study, and I've been called 'freak' my fair share of times, too." He didn't have excellant marks in high school for nothing, but it didn't mean he didn't enjoy slacking off and partying once in a while either. If he was a regular guy looking for a regular college, the party college down the road would be his choice.. but he cared about his Summoning abilities, he wanted to exercise them to his best abilities.

He licked his lips again, teasingly. "Maybe I'll bite the registrar until they put me in a room with you."


Adrian Okeanos
Adrian's eyes widened with the unexpected shove, not because it hurt, but because he dropped his cigarette and he feared greatly for his endowments. Jumping up when he found the cigarette burning into his shirt, he glared at it for a moment before picking it up gingerly off the ground and replacing it in his mouth.

"Anyways..." He muttered as he sat back down, "I never went to school... Was 'born' if you could call it... Just like this, from a necklace..." Motioning to the white gold and sapphire trident pendent around a necklace on his neck.

"But being your roommate would be quite... Interesting from what I've heard." Smirking once more, he took one last drawl from the cigarette before snuffing it out into the grass.


Stormy Hound
Hrm... "Sorry 'bout your shirt" He didn't think e'd startle the guy that much.

Stacy's ears perked at that. "Born..from a necklace." He didn't disbelieve it, but it was new to him. "How do you do that, if you don't mind me asking?" He reached over and brushed a few ashes from the hole in Adrian's shirt, smiling cunningly as he watched them float to the thigh of the other's pants.

"I guess you could say I grew up fairly normal..."

"Whatever normal is." he mumbled.


Adrian Okeanos
"Eh, I usually don't wear them... But that's because in a place where they impose greatly on comfort." His eyes trailed down to the hand brushing off the cigarette ashes, gaze moving to where they fell before he answered the question.

How to explain this?

"Well... I don't remember much before, but a lady, my guardian, found my necklace on a beach, and I just... appeared from it." Adrian shifted his eyes to Stacy briefly before returning them to the ashe with a light murr. "Apparently, our kind... The Simulacra, are reborn spirits trapped in inanimate objects... I have a 'sister' from a mirror, and she's an Amazon queen..."

He rambled, a trait that he had received from X, his guardian in the 'reflection' process. One of the only ones that peeked out every so often. "No one lives a 'normal' life..."


Stormy Hound
"That's certainly interesting." He thought a bit, trying to fully wrap his mind around the idea. It was getting hotter out and in responce, he let his jacket slide off his shoulders. Wrapping it around itself, he laid it down for use as a pillow of sorts before laying himself back. Damn this grass is lush...

"My parents ********, that's all.." An attempt to ease tension only possibly greatened it. He mentally smacked himself in the head, beginning to think he needed a muzzle.


Adrian Okeanos
"Another problem with girls... Right there. They get pregnant." He let out an exasperated sigh at the subject, shifting so that he was facing the older man. "I mean really, all I want to do is get a good couple of ********, maybe some head even... Without the fear that something's going to go wrong and she's going to get bloody knocked up."

Growling somewhat, he breathed in deep to calm down. If he damn wanted a child, he'd get a girl, and make it happen.

"Besides, two cocks are better than one in my opinion... At least right now." It was then that he noticed just how hot he was, his black skin absorbing the heat much more than the usual person. "******** it..." He muttered before pulling off his holey shirt and tossing it over his shoulder. "Black skin is a pain up here on land..."


Stormy Hound
Stacy nodded and looked at the younger of the two quizically. He hadn't actually noticed the dark black skin, but now he was fixated. He suddenly wanted to reach out and touch it.. stroke it even...

*omgnaughtythoughtscutout*

*ahem* He looked over his own pale skin, blushing abit at his thoughts. "This skin burns too easily." Deep under the black and dark red dye, his hair was actually a faire red color. His beard was kept natural at all times, but his hair looked too weird natural.

"You are so right about that, my' man. I want to shake your hand" *omgsly* He reached his hand out, anticipating the touch of the other's deep toned skin.

Up here on land hhnn... wonder what it's like to do it underwater. he mused to himself.


Adrian Okeanos
Adrian tilted his head towards Stacy, chewing on his lip in amusement. Oh he knew what was going on, like he said in his application, sex was his forte. "You know," he mused, "That wasn't as smooth as you thought."

His grin wasn't malicious, the teen amused at the older applicant for a moment before leaning in as if to kiss him, only right when contact would have been made, the Simu shifted. Soon his lips were at his ear and he murred softly, "I say we take a tour of housing..."

And like that, Adrian pulled back and gathered his shirt, standing up while brushing the grass off his pants. As if nothing had happened, his light smile the only indicator. "Which direction were they in again?"


Stormy Hound
For a moment Stacy's eyes went wider than they ever had and if he had been sitting up, he would have fallen over. He sputtered a bit and watched as the younger male stood and brushed himself off. "Uhn..." noises, all he could make were blasted noises.

He stood too and bent back over to pick up his jacket, taking longer to brush it off closer to the ground before straightening up. "I really don't know where they are, the place should have a map, it appears quite big."


Adrian Okeanos
Adrian simply chuckled, his cockiness [pun intended] setting in as he gave a glance back to the older male, flashing him a quick grin before motioning to a second building off in the distance. "They're there... I was exploring earlier and ran across them..."

Pausing, he stopped and waited for Stacy, raising an eyebrow. "You coming?"


Stormy Hound
It took all he had not to bust out laughing at the last thing Adrian said. Bloody ******** he was feeling childish, and it made him feel strange.. but it made him feel good at the same time. "Yeah" he paused grinning. "Yeah, I'm coming." He threw his jacket over his shoulder and followed.
PostPosted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 7:39 am


XBear
Adrian, who ended up spending the night in one of the various dorm rooms, was currently sneaking out of said building, shrugging his shirt from yesterday back on in the process. He had tried to clean up as much as possible, but the fact that he was in the previous day's clothes was a rather big giveawy.

Hopefully he could get home without running into anyone from yesterday, not that he cared but he figured better be safe than sorry at that moment. Glancing around first, the teen began to stride 'casually' across the lawn towards the front of the school.

Yes. Incredibly complex and spiffy plan...


Leslie Ezekiel
Leslie had finally made his way outside, after dealing with that pitiful angry girl. He sniffed a bit, still distressed at being so completely insulted by someone he so completely didn't know. Well, life was like that. Sometimes you killed two teenage boys without being caught all in one night, and sometimes your grandmother was burned while you were doing it. Good and the bad, hand in hand. Even if it was hard to tell either apart.

Well, it was time to cause some chaos. Only without blood. That made it harder, but not impossible. First, he'd need water. And dirt. Possibly Jack, only Jack (a rather large black chicken) was at the hotel with his parents. He'd have to make do with the dirt and the water.

"Now, if I were water, where would I be?" The angelic boy murmured, attempting to figure out how H20 thought about things. He decided it was somewhat bitter, and that's why it was generally underground. He certainly couldn't blame it. Flowing like silk, he started to pace the grounds, wondering if there was someone to cause havoc on personally.

Oh look. A professor. "How nice..."


Professor Yain
"Aaaa, hello," Yain blinked at the young woman who seemingly and suddenly appeared next to him (not that he was really surprised, frankly, he seemed to be a people-magnet when his personality would dictate otherwise. He vaguely considered shaving his head but decided this would only let them win.) "It's nice to meet you as well."

He glanced down at the pile of papers he still clutched, drawing a leg up to balance them on his best knee and beginning to fold the one on top into an airplane. "Yes, quite." He spoke to the one who came up behind him, launching the paper aircraft into the air. He'd have to clean all this up before Miss Elusiben caught him, but he wasn't too concerned right now.

There were several disturbing things to note of this Outside though. First was that strange boy standing and talking to himself over there, looking as innocent as a cat on fire. Yain thought a moment and was about to call out to him when an entirely different sight caught his attention (to his chagrin.)

Adrian -- ironically one of the few students he recognized by sight and application. He had half-hoped the young boy accidentally tripped off the side of the floating provice, but.. oh well. Still, there was an equally, er, disturbing air around him. Either he came from an incredibly dysfunctional family, to be wearing the wrinkled clothes he'd worn the day before, or....

"Hey, you!" Yain called, dropping the pile of papers to the ground in a messy heap and pointing vaguely at both boys. "What are you doing?"

Multitasking was fun. Except when other people were involved. Maybe if he stared long enough, one of them would spontaneously combust.

[Sorry for my slowness, I'm having difficulty keeping up with all of you all at once.]


Leslie Ezekiel
Oh dear. His entertainment was suddenly getting swamped. That wouldn't do at all, he decided. Leslie, unlike a lot of teenagers, understood the importance of hard work. One had to work for what they needed, as life was not all fun and games. Thus, Leslie was willing to work for the person he most wanted to bother.

The blonde boy shifted his shoulders a little, brushing his shirt down to make sure it was free of wrinkles. Once he was sure he looked impeccable, he made his grand entrance. This involved walking, as though with purpose, to the ground now surrounding the professor and talking in a very loud, self-important voice.

"Excuse me, Mr. ... Yain, is it? You asked me to come by, didn't you? For a tour of the school?" He said over the noise of the crowd, meeting the professor's mix-matched eyes. "A private tour?"

He only hoped the professor could catch on. Adults were not always as intelligent as they wanted to be, and were expected.


XBear
Crap. Crappity crap crap.

Okay, he could handle this... Adrian tried to keep a calm exterior as his mine raced for explanations, plans, or something to keep things relatively 'kosher'.

Let's see. Fleeing was out, so was being truthful, like that ever worked.

He was closer now.

...

It might just work...

"Oh heeello~ Master Yain, or is it Mistress? So lovely to see you." His voice was notched an octave deeper, a seductive smile was set on his lips, and for an added creepy touch, the teen moved his right hand under his shirt to absently rub along his bare stomach...

...and hips, before offering it to him in a handshake. "Never did introduce myself formally, but it seems you already know me."

Hopefully, if he played it right, the teen could once again creep the teacher out and send him shifting off into a corner.

Adrian made sure to let his eyes roam freely, lingering below the waist with a 'absent' chew of his lower lip.

Maybe he'd add some heavy breathing later.


Professor Yain
Yain stared down at Adrian's offered hand in obvious distaste, resisting the immediate reflex to smack it away. Not good to abuse students, no matter how much they obviously asked for it. Of course, Adrian seemed like the kind of boy who would.. enjoy it.

He took a moment to shiver, before taking a look around at the growing crowd and wincing. At this rate, he'd never be able to properly talk to the boy, unless--

Oh, and there was the matter of the other creepy one. The blond one was staring at him now, and said something about a private tour. A private tour? --Oh no, no no no, maybe it was just Adrian's prescence alone but that conjured up some vaguely disturbing images.

If there was at least one other person there, though, he could handle it...

"Eyes up, hands in your pockets, follow me." He snapped to Adrian without thinking, gesturing wordlessly to Leslie to do so likewise before turning to stalk back inside the main building. So much for his outside time.

It was only a few minutes later he realized that he just invited the two boys he had previously decided he never wanted to be alone with. He hissed something under his breath that sounded suspiciously vulgar and, backing up, slammed the back of his head against the wall. That wasn't really smart either, in retrospect, but the numbing pain and the accompanying dizziness made things sliiiiiiightly more bearable.


Leslie Ezekiel
Leslie blinked, and then chuckled a bit. Well, this man was certainly interesting. He strode a bit closer to the profesor, though gave him a couple feet of space. Sometimes the pretty ones, Leslie knew well, were very skittish. Plus, if he creeped out a possible future teacher too much, that might have consequences Leslie did not need to deal with.

"I was simply trying to steal you from the crowd. I didn't mean to give you a fit," The blonde purred politely, glancing over at the other boy the professor had invited along. Protection perhaps? Did everyone know Leslie was dangerous right off? It was horrible, he had absolutely no one to surprise anymore. Had someone posted a 'has killed people' sign on his back or something. Quickly, Leslie thrust a hand to grope at his back a little, just to make sure.

He was briefly distracted as a small rust red cat hopped onto his shoulder. Barnaby had been off chasing mice again, apparantly, and was quite interested to see a professor as well. They were a rare breed.

Is this the first one?

"Yes. I believe so."


XBear
And~

It worked! The obvious lecture/questioning that had been brewing within the professor was gone, replaced by an obvious repulsion. Just what the doctor had ordered.

"Hmm...?" He murred languidly, taking his time to bring his eyes up like Yain had ordered, smirking slightly. "You sure you want my hands in my pockets Ma'am?"

Hinting at the myriad of possibilites that could come from this action, Adrian followed the teacher no less, finally giving a glance over to the other boy...

And his p***y cat.

Since the blonde offered no name, neither did Adrian, who instead raised an eyebrow at the hissing, eyes widening with the clunk that procured from the impact. "Beautiful." He muttered in Ancient Greek, chuckling to himself before purposefully invading Yain's personal space.


Professor Yain
"Aaah, no." Yain sideglanced towards the blond one who approached, rubbing the back of his head where he'd smacked it. "I'm entirely overreacting, really." He ignored the young mutterings of a child behind him, not eager to deal with anyone else at the moment.

...He seemed nice. Better than Adrian, at the very least. "You already know my name, I know, but in the interest of recieving a reciprocal introduction... I'm Yain."

He deliberately stepped away from Adrian, continuing to wonder what sort of lapse of sanity made him decide that inviting him along was a good idea. Aliens, it must have been. His judgement had always been good (or so he'd like to continue to believe.) "'Sir' will suffice." He snapped in response, almost immediately glancing down at the dark-skinned boy's pockets when he mentioned them.

<Bad idea.> He snapped his gaze up, eyes narrowing slightly. "Better in your pockets than on me."

..Now, why were they here again? Yain turned his back on Adrian, hoping that this would create an obvious window of escape for him away from this place (and off the cliff, into the ocean, back into the deep depths of that from which he came.) He visibly brightened at this train of thought, only giving a moment's consideration to yet another prospective student who approached him.

"Are you stupid or what?" He said brightly, tone not at all matching the sincerity of his words. "Run! Save yourself!" He gestured wildly. "Oh, and this tour is by invitation only. Maybe if you had twenty bucks I'd let you come, but I think I've snapped enough for today otherwise. Come along gentlemen, allow me to bore you out of your minds."

And without giving a second glance, the professor dazedly slunk down the hallway, intending to lead to a more.. private place. The purpose of the tour, right? At this point he'd take his chances with these two boys (or just one, if Adrian was at all cooperative) rather than risk being smothered by another sudden gang of student-ninjas leaping upon him.


Leslie Ezekiel
"My name is Leslie Ezekiel," The blonde boy offered, hand raising over his shoulder to pet his familiar lightly. He was rather amused by the professor's actions, and somewhat intrigued by Adrian's. How silly, was the teacher having an affair? Or was the student just being too... personal? If Leslie hadn't been so busy killing people early on, he would probably be the type to watch soap operas.

He kept politely quiet for the moment, simply following after the pale teacher as instructed. For a moment his eyes settled on the other, apparantly applying, student. He made no secret of the look, and was just as blunt when he looked away. In other words, at the moment Adrian was of no consequence to Leslie. The other boy could feel free to do as he liked.

Yawning lightly behind a hand, he decided just to watch his possible future professor. White hair, different colored eyes... Leslie couldn't help but be interested on a purely superficial level. Namely, the man looked cool. Leslie was the kind to go from mentally twenty to mentally five, and right now mentally seven.

Yain was cool. Follow Yain.


XBear
Adrian just snickered at Yain's bright tone and frantic words, eyebrows raising in a more mature version of 'nana nana boo boo' to the other girl before returning his attention to the professor. "So you are a man!" He exclaimed at the newly discovered tidbit, "...Sir."

Noticing eyes on him, the Simu cocked his head to the side and met the blonde's head on, raising an eyebrow until the other sharply turned back.

Attention was returned to following the professor for the moment, before he actually asked a rather 'normal' person question. "What do you teach anyways? Hairdressing 101?"

Well... It wasn't really normal, but at least it started normally?


Professor Yain
"It's nice to meet you," Yain repeated to this Leslie for what felt like the hundredth time that day. He tried thinking back to the applications -- all twenty thousand of them -- to see if he could remember this particular applicant's. No, even the distinctive name couldn't help, all he could remember was this one application sent in by an apparent princess kitsune-goddess-half-angel-half-demon girl that made his brain explode. From that point forward, he'd spread all the sheets of paper out and played darts to determine the thirty applications he'd approve.

It was more fun than actually reading through the damned things, anyway.

He led them through the hallways, more specifically towards the actual classrooms -- a place none of the students tended to linger around for whatever obvious reasons. He'd heard Adrian's comment on his gender ('oh yeah? prove it.') but wisely -- for once -- decided to keep his mouth shut.

He couldn't resist twitching verbally at the next question. "I teach 'scroll reading', thank you. Though apparently it's mixed in with magic-theory and summoning 101, but oh well. I'll be your first teacher if you were accepted." <Pretend he looks like a dung beetle and be satisfied with that mental picture alone, provoking with words is a sign of weakness.> Or so to paraphrase one of his own supposed beliefs.

...Only a certain someone wasn't here to snark for him, leaving the sarcasm solely on his plate for now. "How is it that you don't know what hundreds of fangirly students already apparently do?"


Leslie Ezekiel
Leslie probably would have liked Yain better if he'd known his method of application selecting. Anything that involved throwing sharp objects deeply impressed Leslie, even if someone was impaled in the process (in that case he would be deeply impressed).

"If you were going to insult him, I'd try something stronger," The strange blonde commented off handedly, not looking at the two but instead a painting of sorts hanging off one of the school's walls. It was a bit strange, because his cat was following his gaze, as though it comprehended.

Well, it did.

This isn't much of a tour, the cat commented dryly, shifting a bit on his master's shoulder. After a moment Leslie shrugged slightly, though not enough to dislodge the feline.

Still, Barnaby had a point. With another small, possibly forced yawn, the boy refocused onto the professor. "Is there a tour part... to this tour?"


Professor Yain
Yain suddenly found himself with a headache that threatened to eat Manhattan. Most likely a side affect from beating himself in the head with a brick wall, but he much preferred to blame it on his current companions.

"Unfortunately I'm not allowed to so obviously verbally abuse students, not that Adrian honestly deserves my 'PMSing'--" he sarcastically accompanied this word with the appropriate quotation-mark finger gestures, "--anyway."

What a drastic change of heart. He blamed the aliens. As long as Adrian kept his hands where he could see them and his mouth shut, he was okay (then again, Yain would be fine with anyone who did the same.)

"...And unfortunately, I don't have a knife on hand to try anything stronger, as insulting as castration would be. That would get me fired." Yain rolled his eyes at this.

Oh, yeah, the tour. "Welcome to Somonen Academy. These are the hallways, where you go and get lost. Those are the classrooms, where I repeatedly blugeon you in the head until you say something intelligent. Library's on the other side of the building. Next building over are the dorms where I may or may not continue to blugeon you with three pounds of homework every day. That building's the gym, where other people are asked to blugeon you. And this.. is me leaving." He sidestepped into a nearby room and slammed the door shut.

He found himself seriously considering the possibility of becoming a nun.


XBear
Adrian just smiled, amused by both males with him at the moment, finding new [or maybe even some] respect for the professor after his rant, and while the long haired male... woman thing spoke, Adrian stepped back.

Again...

And again...

Until he was also on the way out, having picked up on that 'mmm throwing knives' look he had seen previously in Zanna's eyes many a time before, only there was a bit more in them.

Thus, it was time to leave... And shower, somewhere.

Yeah...

"What, you don't believe me?" A male voice groused in the distance, approaching the school itself, and soon two figures came into view, one was obviously Adrian, and the other was well... wasn't.

In fact, the other was about two inches shorter than the six foot black teen, appearing slightly older even from the distance. The second just rolled their eyes, scoffing slightly before responding. "Of course... It's you." Pushing their hair back and out of their face, the more muscular of the two gave a lazy look to the school and arched an eyebrow before pulling their spear up and behind their neck, resting their arms on it.

She was wearing a wrap around, toga styled purple top, which criss-crossed right around and above her waist several times before tying. Just below her leather, hand woven skirt, were thigh straps of throwing knives, something she never went anywhere without.

"All be damned Adrian, you're ******** telling me the truth." The Amazon exclaimed, eyes scanning over the school grounds, taking note of anything and everyone.

The black teen appeared smug, barely looking down to his 'sister', lips curled in a trumphant smile. "Now you have to help me move in this joint..."

"Whatever." Zanna snapped, eyes narrowing when they came across the pair talking, one guy and a girl. Maybe they were on a date?

How quaint.

"Are we done here? I need to get back to Greece, important things to deal with..." The dry voice was apparently annoyed, something Adrian always seemed to be able to do.

"Like what? Poke things with your spear?" Adrian ducked and took a step back in case retribution for his comment came, but he was only met with a glare.


Arian Lleuad
He was stuck somewhere between listening to Leslie and hoping that something would fall from the sky and simply put him out of his current misery... But, only if it would also revive him before Sebastian found out that he'd been murdered by a rock from the sky... Simply because that would make the boy fret and, for some reason, he didn't like seeing Sebastian upset.

"As long as they don't stick me with you..." He flashed a rather charming grin towards the young man before tossing a lock of black hair away from his face. "... I think I should fare rather well." His words were said in a joking manner, even if they carried a bit of truth. If he had to listen to this chatter day in and day out? He'd beg Nevermore to peck out his eyes just so he could stick them in his ears. "And besides, Leslie, what makes you so certain that I didn't ask to be put in a room by myself?"

Although he was rather interested in recieving an answer to that question, he was suddenly more intrigued by the couple making their way over the grounds; one girl and one guy. Maybe they were on a date?

How quaint indeed. Assumptions would never get him anywhere. He shook his head, giving a little roll of his eyes before calling out to them... Anything for a distraction. "Hellooo over there."


Saede
Leslie had fallen asleep, outside on the grass. In fact, he'd curled up, much like Barnaby decided to do on the incline from his stomach to hip. Suddenly, he felt refreshed. Perhaps he'd been so snippy with Adrian purely on the basis of not sleeping, or perhaps he'd simply not liked him. Either way, as the blonde slowly rose to his feet he felt surprisingly better. The nap hadn't even been that long either, he judged, glancing towards the bright sun.

Lovely.

He produced a comb out of one of his jacket's various inner pockets, pulling his long locks out of the usual high pony tail and commencing to comb them through. While he did so, his gaze wandered onto an unusual pair of students roaming the grounds. His eyes eventually rested on the especially dark skinned boy, who was vaguely familiar.

"Oh. Adrian," Leslie reminded himself aloud, mind focusing on the cut short tour from the other day. Wasn't that the boy who obviously wanted to get into Yain's pants? Or at least had appeared to?

And who was that girl he had with him? While the boy knew it was not any of his business, he couldn't help but be a bit intrigued. Still, he didn't approach them, simply starred bluntly and continued to untangle his hair.


XBear
Zanna felt eyes on her and turned her gaze towords the girl from earlier. How rude. She was NOT in the mood for some b***h giving her 'ohmeegee you have a weapon... tha's bad!' on her. Squinting, Zanna shook her head before moving towards the strange woman.

Man was she ugly.

"I've got something to take care of." Brushing off Adrian with this 'explanation', the young adult walked at a normal pace, chin high, and eyes locked on the 'girl's'.

When she got closer, she noticed that 'she' was actually a very feminine he.

Interesting.

Brushing it off, Zanna stopped feet from him, looking down at him with a quirked eyebrow. "Problem?" She stated curtly, letting one arm fall from the staff of her spear, the other pulling it down and back into her right hand, where she leaned on it expectantly.

Adrian simply rolled his eyes and headed towards the school, time to check out if he got in.


Karl Hex
After spending the night on a nice little park bench (<3) he found nearby, Karl was looking less civilised, more his usual scruffy self. He was also rather grumpy, having been woken by a b*****d of a songbird at the crack of dawn, and still very much half asleep even now.

At any rate, he'd shuffled his way into the school grounds and up to the front doors without much trouble. The few stone steps proved a little more challenging for his stiff limbs however, but eventually he made his way to the announcement board and stretched massively, only then noticing he was standing next to a tall, black-skinned boy with hair way too bright for this time of the afternoon. "Rr?" he muttered as an attempt at a greeting, before turning to squint at the list.


Leslie Ezekiel
Leslie merely raised an eyebrow, and proceeded to play mute. He finished combing through his hair, putting the comb back into an inner pocket and working on pushing the long golden locks back into his usual pony tail. They were just so much easier to manage that way.

Finally, when he was sated with is appearance, he focused back onto the girl. Slowly, his lips parted into an eery smirk. "Problem? With you? No. Should I?"

He winked, not an entirely sensual gesture so much as him simply being a little irritating. Reaching a hand down he scooped up his cat, placing the familiar back onto shoulder.

Who is this? The feline inquired, blinking twice.

"Who are you?"


XBear
Adrian heard the noise of someone coming, but ignored it, only paying attention when a rather strange noise was uttered. Blinking at the scruffy, but quite very attractive, goat boy, Adrian took a moment to think before something clicked in his head.

OH! Goat boy! The hot one Stacy had mentioned.

"Hello there." He murred softly before turning his eyes back towards the list.

Haha, those ******** actually accepted him. He seriously believed that the application people were on some mind altering drug to accept him after what he wrote on his application, but hell man this was great.

"Sweet..." Adrian smiled lightly before turning towards Karl, "I'm Adrian by the way..."


XBear
"You were just staring, that's all." She snarked, tone still left over from her 'loving' chat with her brother.

It seemed he was trying to annoy her thought.

All else failed, if he really started to get on her nerves, she had a spear, among other things.

The smirk gave the teen a bit of dejavu, and Zanna narrowed her eyes. It was just like her dream, right before he...

Luckily, the wink disrupted her thought process and she raised an eyebrow, shaking her head slightly. "My name is Zanna... And you are?"

Barnaby made her think of Sevati for a brief moment, some one she hadn't seen in months since she'd been in Greece.


Karl Hex
Karl grunted. He really wasn't at all surprised his name wasn't up there, it just meant he'd have to go 'home' at Some point, which did not sound at all appealing.
"Weeelll.. I think i'll go roll in some mud." the boy stated, a rough British accent on his tongue. "Find a dog bowl. Hell, maybe even cook a pidgeon over my lighter. I could get used to this homeless business." he said lazily, peering back out the door briefly before tilting his head in Adrian's direction.

"Name's Karl. You got in, eh? Nice." he paused, blinking a moment, "Mate, where'd you find skin like that?" he asked not at all bluntly.


XBear
Attention was returned to the goat boy, a frown coming to his lips before his eyes moved towards the list again. Damn. Stacy wasn't on it either.

Well ********, that meant Adrian had to start from scratch. "Well blow me." He muttered before turning back to Karl, "Eh, don't do that, I'm sure sex would be hard to come by looking like a cow paddie and smelling like burnt fowl..."

The accent was doing something for him though, causing Adrian to allow his eyes a brief sweep of the male in front of him, "Hm? I was born with it actually... Why? You like it?"

Smirking, Adrian casually leaned up against the wall next to the list, getting comfortable for the time being.


Leslie Ezekiel
Leslie once again just smirked in an amused manner. This time however, he did not entirely stall before giving the girl her desired answer.

"My name is Leslie Ezekiel, Ms. Zanna. A pleasure to meet you," He put out his hand as he spoke, glancing at the one she had on her spear. Well, perhaps she wouldn't want to shake afterall. A soft chuckle and his hand was back at his side.

"I didn't mean to be rude. I just met your... Adrian the other day very briefly. He left some questions in my mind, is all," The blonde purred truthfully. What did he need to hide from this strange girl, anyway?


XBear
"Mhm, pleasure." Zanna shifted her spear effeciently from her right to her left hand before reaching out and giving the male a rather strong gripped handshake before he could pull it away. Her hands were calloused, from her constant weaponry training, among other things.

Pulling back, the young adult straightened out, her muscles flexing under her skin with the movement.

"Oh him? Don't mind him, he ******** around but he's not a threat... And he's not my Adrian, just my brother by adoption..." Watching him a bit longer, she narrowed her eyes in thought. He really did look familiar. "You seem familiar..."

Maybe it was just his attitude. Just like the dream, but he was dead so it couldn't be him. "But I've never met you before."

Stating the obvious as she reswitched her spear to her right hand to return to leaning against it.


XBear
"Mhm, pleasure." Zanna shifted her spear effeciently from her right to her left hand before reaching out and giving the male a rather strong gripped handshake before he could pull it away. Her hands were calloused, from her constant weaponry training, among other things.

Pulling back, the young adult straightened out, her muscles flexing under her skin with the movement.

"Oh him? Don't mind him, he ******** around but he's not a threat... And he's not my Adrian, just my brother by adoption..." Watching him a bit longer, she narrowed her eyes in thought. He really did look familiar. "You seem familiar..."

Maybe it was just his attitude. Just like the dream, but he was dead so it couldn't be him. "But I've never met you before."

Stating the obvious as she reswitched her spear to her right hand to return to leaning against it.


Leslie Ezekiel
Leslie raised an eyebrow at the forced handshake, though he couldn't say it didn't please him. At last, someone with both a personality, and reasonable manners. He'd dreamed of such a meeting all day so far. Not to say that having Arian insult him wasn't fun at all, but it certainly wasn't as intriguing.

"Familiar?" He echoed, smirking slightly. Oh no, if he'd met her before he would have remembered. She had a presence similiar to his own. Not likable, but indeed unforgettable. "No. We haven't met before. I'm sure of it."

Another soft laugh, this time purely mental at what the girl had said about Adrian. A sister, hm? Perhaps he was not nearly so one-dimensional as Leslie had seen. Quickly, he added getting to know the strange boy to his mental list of people to taint and bother.


XBear
"I know, or else I would have too. Just remind me of someone 'tis all." Zanna stated matter of factly, reaching up and running a hand through her blackish purple wavy hair, pushing it from her face.

She made no move to sit down, not planning on staying long and not really trusting this guy, considering just who he reminded her of.

The young adult could care less if he bothered Adrian, at least it would be better than who else he had pissed off knowingly and unknowingly. Hell, she was just happy she wouldn't be seeing him for another four months if she didn't have to.

It made her so happy.


Karl Hex
"That's true. And definately unfortunate." he said with a snort.
"Eh, s'pose i should put this money to good use.." he scowled slightly, gesturing to his bag, as scruffy as him and buldging ever so slightly. Damn. He was so looking forward to all that drugs and booze..

"There's gotta be a legit place to stay nearby, right? I am Not going back to that god awful woman." He bit his lower lip absently as the other boy eyed him.
"Yeeah.." eyes narrowing slightly at the other boy's remark, Karl was obviously not quite catching on.


Saede
Leslie was quite curious, but then after a glance at Barnaby he changed his mind. Curiosity killed the cat, you know. He stepped forward, passing by Zanna with a couple gliding steps. For a man so deranged at times, most of his movements were filled with grace. It was only when he was being entirely agressive that his moves became short and choppy, and even then brilliant to watch.

He was lovely to watch, but in the same way blood attracts the eye. A twisted way.

"Would you care to walk with me a bit? I wanted to look around the grounds..." Leslie said quietly, stretching his arms above his head slowly to stretch them. He quickly put them down as Barnaby meowed in protest at Leslie leaving little room on his shoulder.


XBear
"There's room in my guardian's house... 'Round the outskirts of Durem actually if you need a place to stay..." Running a hand through his hair, Adrian watched Karl curiously, wondering when the last time he had showered was. Then his eyes caught the familiar piercing on his chin. "Mmm, love the labret... 'Tis a sexy piercing."

He acted as if it were a normal way to act around a complete stranger, well it was for him, but not for most others.

Zanna narrowed her eyes as he watched him, following his movements closely and adjusting her position ever so slightly to accomadate them. She was always ready, something she had naturally been like ever since she was young.

"Sure, but I must warn you... You make one foul move towards me, and you'll be without a few choice appendages before you can protest." Her statement was blunt, not really caring what he thought of her for it.

In all honesty, she didn't trust him, but she also could damn well take care of herself. Either way, she warned him and that gave her rights to 'defend' herself if need be.


Saede
Leslie just laughed and continued. Normally Leslie glided, well walked, in a fast paced manner. For now though, he was purposely moving slowly in order to enjoy the current predicament. A somewhat attractive, yet aggressive, young lady was going to walk with him. He couldn't kill anything, but he could mentally pretend to. Barnaby was awake. Things were looking up, really.

"Tell me about yourself. Be as vague as you like," The angelic boy requested, glancing over his shoulder to meet eyes with Zanna. He pushed his hands into his pants pockets, waiting quietly for her reply.

You seem better now that the coffee has worn off, Barnaby commented to his master, giving a little cat yawn.


Karl Hex

"Why else would i get one?" he responded with a smirk. "Hm. Reminds me, I still owe the chick who did this for me. I should really pay her a visit some time.."


XBear
Zanna took his laughter as a sign he either didn't believe her, which, if it were true, was his impending loss, or he was just another cocky male.

"As vague as I like hmm?" She trailed off with a soft smirk, her eyes holding his confidently before turning to look around to where they were walking. Taking her time, the young adult used her spear as a sort of walking stick for the time being, her left hand moving to rest on the tattoos along her exposed abs. "Well, for starters, if you haven't noticed, which you probably haven't, I'm an Amazon... And very skilled with my various weapons."

Her voice was strong, and deeper than most women's, holding an air of authority in it, as well as confidence. "And since you're here... Why not do the same?"

Adrian shrugged, "Her name's X... And yeah, but... just be sure to not piss her off, or it's your a**." Adrian chuckled with his comment, reaching out to flick the piercing lazily, "Any more piercings?"

Raising an eyebrow playfully, Adrian nodded towards the school entrance, "I can take you there whenever I leave, I've got to pack my s**t up anyways..."


Karl Hex
"I'll try." he said with a grin. "Not to, that is."
Karl said nothing in response to his cheeky query, but snapped at the fingers lingering by his face, teeth missing teasingly with a clean snap. He liked doing that.

"Sounds cool. I might try 'borrowing' some supplies.." he grinned, tongue playing along his canines. "Meet ya back 'ere." With that he slipped off in the direction of the boys toilets.


Saede
Leslie made a small sound of acceptance, but didn't go on to talk about himself quite yet. He had other things on his mind. "Amazon... what area are you from? And then where is your brother from?"

Needless to say, Leslie's curiosity was sparked whether he wanted it to be or not. As they also say. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back. In other words, while Zanna might spear him, his masochism would make it enjoyable.

Hooray.

He twirled on a foot, feeling a bit as though he should simply fly up into the sky and never been seen again. That would be fun. Then he could kill angels, and he'd become an urban legend.

Barnaby sighed.


XBear
Chuckling and raising an eyebrow, Adrian nodded as he pushed off of the wall, moving to check the list for anyone he had skimmed over but actually knew. "I'll be here."

"A mirror, and a necklace... Respectively." Ha, be baffled for not answering her quite simplistic question. The young adult watched him twirl his foot momentarily before losing interest, "Though both of us live in Durem, currently I'm in Greece, and I could care less where Adrian's been."

The tall woman side glanced to Leslie and clicked her tongue, "Now I'd appreciate responding to that which you avoided."


Saede
"A mirror and necklace," Leslie once again repeated the girl's words. Another chuckle, this time a bit darker. He paused mid-stride, pivoting to face the girl he was talking to. Bowing his head slightly, he seemed to need to think of what he could say about himself.

After a moment he began. "You know about how if you do bad things you go to prison?

In a weird way.

"Well. I don't want to go there, so I can't really talk about my past," He continued, then smiled up at her and shrugged. "Sorry."


XBear
Zanna watched him curiously as he stepped in front of her so abruptly, grip readjusting on her spear instinctively. Even when he spoke, she kept her face unchanged until she couldn't any longer.

And then she laughed. Hard.

"You mean like killing people?" She questioned, trying to straighten and relax her face from the laughter. "Mum does that all the time... Sides, you afraid you'll be the prison b***h?"

Cocking an eyebrow, Zanna sidestepped him before continuing to walk forward, chuckling under her breath. "Or is it something else...?"

She decided to keep quiet that she had killed hundreds of people, maybe more, in her past life.


Saede
"That among other things," Leslie said, buffing his nails on his trench coat. He turned, now following the tall girl with that same amused smirk. There were too many things to count, though it was nice to be able to talk about it casually with someone. He was growing to like this girl more and more...

"Be careful. I am but a hormonal teenage boy and can easily develope crushes," He warned her, faking a vunerable look. This was a bit like a dog impersonating a cat or mouse. It simply didn't fit his character, no matter how hard he tried.

I'm off to chase pigeons, Barnaby decided, seeing Leslie was not about to endanger this new human. He hopped off his master's shoulder and started off on the grounds.

Leslie watched him for a moment before calling, "Don't go too far, Bee! You wouldn't want me to put anything on fire!"


XBear
Zanna felt like she had attracted a forlorn puppy, but at the time tolerated him. At least it wasn't Adrian and his loathesome antics. "How quaint."

His next comment caused her to narrow her eyes dangerously before letting her face adapt a more sadistic look. "And I am but a sadistic b***h who is not against castrating someone for amusement."

Her knife was handy if he'd like to try it out, though that was doubtful.

Watching the cat as it ran off, she noticed the communication between the two of them, but decided to stay silent.

"What can you tell me then?" Zanna turned her eyes forward again as she shifted her spear to prop against her right shoulder in a casual motion.

The Amazon was itching to train, but decided that Leslie wasn't a valid spar.


Saede
"Castration? Oh, blood is nice, but I think that's a little too harsh for me," Leslie teased, stepping back just incase she tried to take a swipe at him. He smirked, though this one was a promise that his comments were all in good humor. For now.

He mused on her final question, tapping his cheek with a finger. Without much of a pause he continued, "I have done several illegal activities. I hate having to be jealous. My grandmother was the most influential person I know. Everything I know well, I know from her. Well, besides bedroom play."

It was obvious he was just baiting her with that last comment.


XBear
"It's not meant to be pleasurable, hun." She 'teased' right back, looking down to him before stopping and crossing her arms across her chest.

No matter how joking he was with her, she had made a promise earlier and would keep it if needed.

"Somehow, I can't picture you as someone who even receives bedroom fun." Zanna smirked, surpressing the horrible mental image of him 'romping' in bed with any sort of person, animal, or plant... much less an old woman.

Without a pause, the young adult continued, "What makes you jealous then?"


Saede
"Maybe it should be," Leslie smirked, but seemed to back down on the subject. Sensuality was only habit, not something he cared too much for if the person wasn't interested.

He yawned lightly, but then raised an eyebrow as she mentioned something about him not seemed sexual. "Me? Oh, well. Sex isn't that important, but I don't dislike it. Certainly, it depends on the person. And whether they mind razors."

The last question was easy enough though, and he looked a little less smug as he replied. "Over friends and Barnaby mostly. I don't like sharing. At all."


XBear
And Zanna, unlike her guardian and Adrian, indeed wasn't one to talk so openly about sex, unless she was cutting someone down on the subject. In fact, she believed that the physical ends of relationship should NOT be put on display for everyone to see. That they should be private.

Pursing her lips somewhat, Zanna decided to casually ignore responding on several of his comments, "Knives are more efficient than razors... More precise, and a better handle..."

She trailed off, murring softly before speaking again, "Perfect for skinning animals, which is an art of its own..."

Shifting a glance, the Amazon quirked an eyebrow, "Barnaby would be the feline from earlier I presume? You two had a strange connection..."

A knowing look flashed in her eyes for a moment before she decided she had had enough walking, and that it was time to sit down in the lush grass.

And so she did, 'draping' her spear across her lap.


Saede
Leslie took mental notes on most of what she said, trying to contain anymore of the need to laugh. It wasn't that he found her silly per say, but it was just so weird to talk about this in the open. Normally he'd only speak to Barnaby about pain and such. The whole situation with Zanna seemed absurd.

"Yes, Barnaby is my cat," The angelic boy replied, neither denying or confirming the fact he and the cat had a strong connection. That was no one's business but his own.

As she sat he paced a little, then took a seat a foot or two to her left. If he said something wrong, there was still the possibility of her stabbing him. He'd rather be farther away if that were to happen.


XBear
Her eyes followed him with every pace he made until he sat down...

...Several feet away. And this amused her.

So she reached down to her upper thigh, where her throwing knives were strapped securely around her leg, just under her skirt, and pulled one out. Playing with it between her fingers, Zanna looked over to him and grinned sadistically.

"Is the apparetly 'scary' and 'evil' boy scared of little ol' me?" It wasn't meant as a come on, and she was in no way 'little'. Though the Amazon still was amusing herself with him.

Men always thought they were so powerful, and she loved ******** with their heads.


Saede
Leslie's gaze followed the knife. He felt his hands itch, and immediantly clamped onto the grass. No, no knives. Not for now anyway, when he wouldn't be able to resist the urge. Perhaps Zanna killed, but she didn't understand how Leslie did, he believed. Leslie needed to, it was a physical urge that he had no control over anymore.

Well, little to no control.

He gritted his teeth as his spoke, words strained. "I'm not afraid... I just have a healthy amount of respect... for you." It was obvious he was not angry, nor fearful. There was something else going on.

"Can you put that away?"


XBear
Zanna raised an eyebrow, but with one look at his actions, she put the knife away as asked. "Fair enough."

With one look at the sky, the young adult suddenly stood and brushed down her skirt with a sharp nod to him. "I should be going. Pleasure meeting you, and enjoy Adrian... But keep him alive, or you'll have to deal with our guardian, and she won't think twice about killing you. Bye bye now."

Grinning, she gave a wave, and not even waiting for Adrian, walked off into the distance.

Adrian meets Arsenic
Miss Arsenic
Well. Wasn't this quaint. Picking her way along the edge of the path, tiny hooves clopping upon the scrubbed stone, Arsenic shook her head in mild disbelief. A floating island, and they put a school on it?! What a bloody waste.

At least it was an interesting subject. Visions of summoned armies danced merrily in the Mendel's head, all one hundred percent loyal, and best of all...free. Soon, she was humming along to the antics of her mental menagerie, the pair of keys she carried jangling in time.

Her revelry ended abruptly as a pair of feet slammed upon the stone beside her...entirely too close for comfort. Grinding her teeth, Arsenic regretted leaving the thumbtacks in her suitcase. Wading out of the grass, clomping back up onto the path, she made a rude gesture over one shoulder at the back of the figure that hurried by.

"Hope it was worth it, buddy! I never forget a shoe!" Revenge would simply have to wait, however...she had a suit case roughly fifty times her size and no way to transport it. She needed a lackey, and fast.

Pausing, fists on hips, Arsenic turned in a slow circle and tried to spot any likely candidates. There was a building not too far away, perhaps there was a Good Will club she could hit. Watching as another pair of feet clomped by, Arsenic snerked in amusement. Doubtful she was going to find help here...these oafs couldn't mind their own two feet, much less luggage.

"I'm SO suing. SOME OF US HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS, YOU INSENITIVE PRICKS!!"


XBear
Too many little kids at home. With that feathered freak in a skirt to the two X and Jack spawns running around, Adrian decided it best to hide out at the school until it was time to officially move in, and thus was sprawled out on the grass, sleeping.

His shirt was off and being used as a pillow, and even though it was sunny, the Simu had decided to stay away from any vegetation. For reasons unknown.

An angry, but small voice was heard, but, thinking it a dream of sorts, just rolled over onto his side with a grunt and a nose twitch.

When it didn't stop, he scowled and rolled back onto his back, cursing to himself about rude people interrupting well deserved naps.


Benedikt
Now there were few words that could summon Benedikt's attention without fail. While most of them can not and should not be named here, one of them happened to be anything pertaining to the word "lawsuit." His head cocked to the side in the faintest motion of a earprick and almost dangerously he pivoted to the source of the noise. "Can I help you?" He said with barely controlled exasperation before he even made eyecontact with the agressor


Miss Arsenic
Oh, this was just what she hoped for. Arms still akimbo, Arsenic nodded with a forced smile that showed a few too many teeth.

"Yeah. Either dip me in ketchup and get it over with, or quit looking at me like that. You'll regret it, trust me...I'm not all that tasty."

Striding forward, pulling herself up to her impressive full height of half a foot, Arsenic stared straight up into a surprisingly tidy pair of nostrils. "I've got a huge suit case and no transport. Seeing as how you've made yourself out to be the helpful type, I'd be much obliged if you'd give me a hand. Nice shoes, by the way."

He'd wear them better if someone pulled the stick out. Hooking one thumb to point behind her at a large black laptop bag near the head of the path, Arsenic shook her dreads out of her face and waited patiently.

"Anywhere it won't get stolen is fine. I've got no bloody idea where my room is, and don't care to hazard finding out."

Clapping her hands twice in the universal 'chop chop' gesture, Arsenic's smile faded into a rather grim expression. This boy was just about as fun as a bag of mud. Joy.


Benedikt
Benedikt gave her a long, measuring look from the shady comfort of the covered entrance before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his cigarette case, pulling out a cigarette, and lighting it. "I would help you myself," he paused briefly as he exhaled, "but you will have to go inside and speak to the house keeper, just as everyone else did Miss Arsenic Tress."

He snuffed his unfinished cigarette "but as a niceness," he strode to the door and held it open. "Welcome to the Academy."


Miss Arsenic
Sniffing as he declined, Arsenic couldn't help but smile. So, she was known. "Thanks anyway, champ. Oh, and it's Miss Tress to you, if you don't mind. Charmed. Leave that open, won't you?"

Patting his shoe goodbye, Arsenic turned her back to the snarky fellow and stomped back the way she came. Housekeeping, indeed. How accomodating!

She wasn't letting that bag leave her sight. She'd simply have to find another option. Taking another glance, Arsenic immediately disregarded the first few options that presented themselves. From what she'd seen, most 'men' seemed more likely to break a nail than the chicks on campus.

"You there. With the snoring."

No response. Eyes narrowing, Arsenic hopped off the path, wading through the waist high grass. "Come on, sleeping beauty! It can't be that good of a dream!"

Grabbing a handful of fabric, Arsenic hauled herself up on the sleeping form...waking her way carefully towards the head. "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey! Come on, I need a hand. You can't refuse a little bitty girl, can you?"

Ah, hair! That would give her something to hold on to!


XBear
The voice persisted, and not only did they persist, but they increased in volume.

Still, he attempted to ignore the annoyance.

Having no shirt on, the only fabric she had to climb was his pants, the hooves and climbing providing a good reason to wake up, or at least open his eyes.

There was that voice again. "Whatjowan?" He murmered incoherently as he looked around for the voice's owner. All while what he had previously believed to be fingers began to clomp carefully up his chest.

"Whoa now, someone needs a manic-..." Shifting his elbows under himself, Adrian propped himself up from the ground, trailing off as he got an eyefull of Nic.

Maybe he was still sleeping? The stupified look returned in all its glory as he just stared at the little girl with... horns that was climbing around on his chest. "Hello?"

This was a new dream.


Miss Arsenic
Gripping tighter to the lock of hair as the figure finally shifted, Arsenic lost her grip and tumbled back...coming to rest at the place where chest became stomach. Staring up at a rather bemused face, she grinned in her most charming fashion. Unfortunately, it was a smile that rarely produced the desired results.

"Hey there, darlin'! Welcome back! I'm Arsenic, at your service! Well, provided you say the same, of course." Waggling a brow, she tried to get comfortable. It was a long fall to either side.

"So sorry if I'm interrupting anything terribly important. I was hoping you could give me a hand...I'm Stature Challenged, as they say. You up for it? Drinks are on me if you're game!"

Poking his tummy repeatedly as she tried to get to her feet, Arsenic offered another of her too wide smiles from below her fall of dreads. Beads clicked as they shifted against her horns, clattering as she shook them all back and pulled herself straight.

"What do you say?"


XBear
Okay, he definately felt that tumble on his stomach, so no dream. Shooting her a quizzical look framed by a raised eyebrow, Adrian finally responded, "Isn't... Arsenic a poison?"

Not the brightest thing he'd ever said, but still he had been in the sun all morning and had just woken up. He was deserving of slack, or so he religiously believed.

"So I've noticed." The black skinned Simu grumbled mid yawn, "So what do you need help with-iiitthh~"

Jerking lightly at the poking, Adrian fell to his back in favor of moving his arms to either side of his stomach to serve as a buffer for the poison on his stomach whilst he twitched about. "Ugh. I say okay as long as you stop tickling me..."

Then he paused, "Wait a minute... How can you get alcohol?"


Miss Arsenic
Grinning, Arsenic nodded happily...making her way over to his left arm.

"Poison? Yes. Ever heard of an elemental? That fire and water bullshit is just that. Bullshit. Real elementals are made of elements. So don't go kissing on me when I'm not expecting it, or it's all the worse for you."

Making her way carefully up the line where his arm was pressed against his side, Arsenic scrabbled for the lad's shoulder. Shoulders were meant for sitting. Even dark and oddly marked shoulders.

"As far as the alcohol..." Pointing back towards her laptop bag, Arsenic flashed another startling grin. "I come prepared. With what I've got in that bag, we could throw one hell of a bash! Couple of gorgeous kids like us? We'd be the life of the party."

Finally reaching his shoulder, Arsenic got herself settled. This was going surprisingly well!

"What's your name, slick? After we find a place to store my bag, you shou-whoa. WHOA."

Wrapping her dappled arms around her new companion's neck, Arsenic clung for dear life. "Dog. Big dog." Dropping her voice to a whisper, which was appropriate since she was directly next to his ear, Arsenic glared hatefully at the mutt. "I hate being snack sized. He'd regret it in the long run, but not before I would. Hey, I'm going to hide right here, okay? Don't worry, I'm tidy."

Edging over to try to hide in Adrian's hair, Arsenic's eyes gleamed dangerously as she watched the dog leading its master confidently. God she hated dogs.

[Perhaps Nic could hide there for a bit? I've gotta leave for dinner. If you want to move her bag for her, she'll Ride n' Hide as long as you let her. Not sure when I'll be back, sadly. Thanks for the awesome tid bit of RP <3]


XBear
((Sorry took so long, friend came over suddenly.))

Adrian blinked and cocked his head towards Nic, chuckling softly at her attitude. "I'll remember that." Keeping still while she scaled him, the teen only sat up once she was situated.

"I don't even want to know how you not only packed that bag, but got it up here..." He had a mental image of her and about fifty other mini people underneath the bag and marching it along like ants.

And then she poisoned them somehow... Yeah that's how they were no longer there.

Shaking his head at the alcohol comment, 'Drian smirked casually before going wide eyed at the little girl's sudden clinging. She didn't seem like the dependent type.

"Wha?" His grunting question soon explained by the hooved one.

"Yeah no problem." Once he was sure that she had a good grip, the Simu stood and shuffled over to the bag, picking it up and hoisting it onto the opposite shoulder on which Nic was sitting.

And then to deliver the bag, which lead him to wonder just how she was going to situate herself in one of their dorm rooms. He had conveniently stayed in one, and it didn't take much thought to figure she was going to have a hard time unpacking and such. Much less getting to class on time.

"I'll help you unpack to, whereever you're staying..." Maybe it was the fact that she was walking poison, or maybe it was her attitude. Either way, Adrian was surprised at how nice he was being to her.

Whatever, she was hot, no matter how pint sized, and that counted for something right? Of course.


Miss Arsenic
Sticking her tongue out at the dog as Adrian strolled away, Arsenic slipped around behind his neck to the other side of the Simu's face. Holding one earlobe for balance, she nodded with amusement.

"Help me unpack? Not an offer I care to refuse. Can't say as I have a room assignment, though. If you're settled in, we can ditch my stuff at your place until I get it sorted out. Hiyah!"

Tugging on his earlobe, since she didn't have a whip to crack, Arsenic chuckled to herself. She was betting he was one of those shockingly evil and deliciously underhanded 'dark elves' that Aki had told her so much about...a half blood, at least. That suited her just fine. Any race that reduced that sissy blonde elf to terrified whispers was worth getting to know.

Then again, perhaps he was the result of an experiment gone horribly wrong. No...that would be too much of a coincidence.

"You know, you're not half bad! Have a name, slick? Or is the mystery part of your image?"


XBear
"Unfortunately, they still haven't done room assignments, so I haven't moved my s**t in yet." The teen explained as he followed her motions as best as he could out of the corners of his eyes. His skin prickled at the hooving and ear pulling, but he said nothing.

"I'm also naught but half awake as well..." He gripped, absently tilting his head to blow a puff of air in Nic's direction. It smelled vaguely of cool 'polar ice' flavored gum, which he had been chewing previously. "And it's Adrian."

Soon enough they had reached the dorms, and upon finding no one of use or help around, the Simulacra decided to just head on in. "Any particular floor suit your fancy? ...Since rooms haven't been assigned?"

That reminded him, he prayed to the gods [except himself of course] that he would get a nice, hot roommate who wasn't annoying as all the snarky mere-women-people combined.

Either way, they'd either get along and it'll be great, or they won't, and Adrian will create pleasure through the pain of said pathetic and rather unlucky chap. "No offense or anything shorts, but how are you going to get around places ontime and not squashed?"

Obsidian eyes glanced to her as much as possible before he added another comment, "Unless you want me to shoulder taxi you around as well?"

Hell, Zanna made allies, what's to say he couldn't? Especially with a walking, talking, lethal poison...


Miss Arsenic
Squishing up one eye at the blast of winterfresh, Arsenic nodded in wry greeting. "Adrian. Hmm. Bit anticlimactic. I'll let you know when I think of something more appropriate."

Patting his cheek reassuringly, Arsenic watched the grounds streak past them as Adrian sauntered towards the closest building. It would be a dream to cover ground so swiftly...not for the first time, Arsenic mulled bitterly on her distinct lack of wings.

He had to bring it up...as though the possibility of being squashed hadn't already occurred to her.

"In the mean time, you're right...I've got to find a more efficient way of getting around. The way I see it, I have two options. A spiked hamster ball..."

Shrugging ruefully, Arsenic's crooked grin blossomed. Things were falling into place so neatly.

"Or, since you're enough of a gentleman to offer....shoulder taxi. Congrats. The job is yours, m'boy."

Twining one arm around a lock of his hair, Arsenic peered past the lad's dark cheek...eyes narrowing at students beginning to gather in anticipation around the bulletin boards. "Well...what have we, Adrian?"


XBear
"An accord?" He mused as he caught sight of the students himself, none of them catching his attention. "And what do I receive by saving you the trouble of finding said spiked hampster ball?"

Surely he'd get something out of the deal other than 'clemency from poisoning'... Right?

"Either way, someone nearly squashes you, come find me... I'd love an actual reason to cause mayhem around this lot." Smirking lightly, Adrian decided to stop at the nearest bench and promptly plop down on it, seeing as the room assignments won't be posted.

"Though from what I've seen, you would make a lovely partner in causing such ...'excitement' around the school..." Adrian quirked an eyebrow at her before leaning his head against the wall lazily, he was so tired.

And he still had to move in.

"So what are you exactly Shorts?" Might as well learn stuff while waiting.


Miss Arsenic
"Ah, stop before you make me blush, boy. Sure. You spare me the Spiky Ball of Doom, and I'll do a little sumthin sumthin for you in return. Aside from the pleasure of my company...perhaps a little inside information, as I come across it? I have a remarkable ability to go...unnoticed."

Her grin continued to spread...who would have thought her first day on campus would turn out so promising? Settling down on Adrian's shoulder, leaning her back against the side of his neck, Arsenic echoed his yawn with one of her own.

"I suppose it comes with the package. What am I, hmm? Well. Depends on which story you'd like to hear. If you ask me, I'm a rebel pawn in a game I didn't ask to play. There is something about being created simply for another being's amusement that has a way of irking a person, you know?"

Leaning forward briefly, Arsenic coiled her dreads together and tied them off into an oversized knot. It rested just behind her horns, pushing into the hollow below her host's ear. "And you? Brought into the world by loving parents that couldn't quite comprehend your full potential? Where from, and why here?"

Stretching out her dappled legs, itching her stomach carelessly, Arsenic shortened her question with another yawn. They were more addictive than smokes.


XBear
"Unless you're the creator... Then it's great fun..." Adrian trailed off, a strange flicker becoming apparent in his eyes before he closed them briefly and moved to 'cover up' what he thought to be a slip up. "...Or so I've heard."

Her next series of questions seemed to go off of what he was just trying to avoid, "Not... particularly. I'm one of those 'was someone important but died and came back as someone and something else, with little to no memory..."

Waving his hand at his white gold trident necklace around his neck, Adrian sighed and opened his eyes, catching sight of the man, who he presumed was a teacher, posting up a list on the post board. Room assignments probably? Savvy.

"Yeah well anyways, came from this here necklace..." He conveniently left out how much he knew about said past, figuring that if she really cared to know then she'd ask.

Then he could worry about what to say.

"List time baby." Grinning, Adrian stood up and strode over to the list, eyeing it over till he found his name. He was with...

Jacob something. Who the hell was he? Hopefully he was hot. "Second floor, room... 25. How bout it shorts?"


Jacob Tesla
Jacob could never seem to be on time - even when they posted the acceptance list of students, he had been one of the last to see. He was slow getting up after sleeping, but when he was awake, he was full and blasting with energy.

Cyan eyes scanned the list of rooms, until they came to rest on his roomate's name, and number. "Second floor, room 25," he whispered, his words only seconds behind those of Adrian's. Eyebrows raised on the slightly tanned face, and he turned to the boy next to him, who had said the same room assignments. "You're in room 25 on the second floor, too? Then you're.. Adrian?" Jacob asked, scanning the list for his name again.


XBear
"Yuh. You must be my tor--roommate." The teen shifted Nic's bag on his shoulder before offering a black and blues hand for shaking while giving the other teen a once over.

Not bad, not bad at all. This could prove to be interesting for at least one of them.

"I don't have my stuff to move in yet, so I'll be going back to get it sometime before classes..." Grinning cheshire like, the Simu watched the other with amusement while listening to Nic.


Miss Arsenic
Still lounging on Adrian's shoulder, Arsenic nodded through another yawn...waving one hand towards the list absently. "Let's take a look, sure. They certainly took their time posting the list...I'll be sure to be equally prompt in my arrival to class."

The story of his origin was greatly amusing to the little Mendel...he did an excellent job of summing up a story she'd heard more than once. The little trident was interesting, however...she made a mental note to pursue the tale at a later date.

For now, however, there was something else to take her attention.

Leaning forward as Adrian did, Arsenic noted his name and continued to scan...brows knitting dangerously as she spotted her name...beside another. "I asked for a single! What a load of bullshit!! Not only that, they stuck me on a floor with a bunch of chicks! Oh, someone is going to hear about this."

Grinding her teeth, probably a distinctly unpleasant noise for her host, Arsenic fumed silently for a moment. There was nothing worse than an unwanted roommate...hopefully, it was someone tolerable. She'd very carefully specified what type of person she was compatible with.

"Well. Let's see your place, and then cruise up to mine. I'm going to need a hand spreading out the thumbtacks-"

Snapping her mouth shut as someone interrupted, Arsenic twisted around to peer at an unfamiliar face. "Well, Slick! Looks like it's plus one for your fanclub. Way to go."

Falling silent, the Mendel observed through narrowed eyes as the boys chummed it up.


XBear
"What's so bad about a roommate? This way, you have someone to get s**t for you since you're so little... and poisonous..." A cheeky grin soon followed the comment, "I mean really, all you'd have to do was threaten to spit in her mouth while she was sleeping... Then wham... Instant servitude."

Oh that grinding definately wasn't a pleasant noise, and was about to put an end to it when she resumed speaking.

Adrian raised an eyebrow at her assessment of Jacob, eyeing the shoulder sitter for a moment before letting his face relax to a more 'innocent' look while he tossed his glance back at the other male.


Jacob Tesla
The browned hand came out to shake Ura's, and Jacob smiled in greeting. "I've been carrying my stuff around with me for the past few days, I don't have much," the teen admitted, his hand falling to grasp the strap of the large backpack.

The slender mouth remained closed as the Mendal ranted, an eyebrow raising slightly as Jacob listened. "No, my fanclub quota got exceeded yesterday, sorry. I don't have enough time for another," he joked, not quite feeling invited to go on the trek to room 25, but not wanting to force his way in.

Jacob shrugged as his roomate threw him a glance, a smile broadening his face. "However, I guess I could waver that if being in the fanclub has perks."


Miss Arsenic
Arsenic's grin slowly blossomed, dividing her ruddy face with a toothy smile. Just as slowly, she began to laugh...soon, her little hooves were drumming against Adrian's shoulder.

"Oh! OH! That is too rich. I've gotta expand on that idea...not only will I threaten, I'll take pictures when I actually do it! Ohhh, it'll be WORTH getting squashed."

Wiping a semi-lethal tear from her amber eye, Arsenic faded back into chuckles. She had once read that humor was only funny at the expense of others...the diminutive Mendel was inclined to agree.

"So, you're room....25? Looks like I'm in 33. Depending on how uptight my new live-in help is, the shin digs might have to be at your place. Savvy?"

Her look was directed more at Jacob than Adrian. Guy looked like a total stiff. Well, if that's what Adrian was in to, she wouldn't make a fuss.

Not much of one, anyway.

"Let's get moving. I wanna snag the best bed."


XBear
"You'll accumulate enough of it over the year I'd assume, least that's what happened at m'guardian's place." Adrian gave Jacob a knowing smile, nodding slightly before the drumming on his shoulder got his full attention, as it was hard to ignore a little voice in your head.

With her words, his smile widened to a very smug snark of sorts, turning to watch her happy stampeding with amusement. "See, you just have to make the best of the situation." The hooves still felt weird, but so did having a six inch person on one's shoulder.

Though he could get used to that. Maybe he'd get her a throne of sorts, maybe a dollhouse version of what those Indians stuck on those elephants...

Not like he'd wear it... often. Still amusing though.

"Savvy." He repeated, chuckling to himself as his eyes scanned for the elevators. There they were. "Shall we Princess?"

Said only to irk her in jest of course. Lethal that one was.

Peering back to Jacob, the teen gave the other a rather sensual murr, followed by a perky, if not cheeky, grin. "I happen to come with ALL the perks lovely... But we'll get to that later, the little lady wants me to mush and I'm inclined to agree despite her wee-ness."

With a salute, Adrian made his way to the elevators, slipping in the slow closing doors right before they shut.


Miss Arsenic
Mimicking the salute rather crisply, Arsenic offered Jacob another of her startling grins as the elevator doors thumped shut. Mmm. Passive. Giving Adrian's earlobe a sharp tug, she clicked her tongue in mock disappointment.

"Princess? Unless I'm carrying a cocktail umbrella, let's avoid the term, eh? But if it's a pet name you want, Miss Tress will work just fine."

The wink carried clearly into her voice, even if her host couldn't see the gesture. A sense of humor was so rare on this campus...she'd lucked out by stomping up Adrian when she did. The fellow she'd met just before him must have been too uncomfortable due to the large, unseen stick to let his humor show.

"Well, I have to say that these 'familiars' or whatever that we're summoning had better have wings...otherwise, I'm S.O.L." Grimacing at the height of the elevator buttons as Adrian stabbed at one with this slender ebony finger, Arsenic sighed. "I heard the dolts in the hall whispering, by the way...apparently we're going to be competing for the final product?"

She let the question hang, since that was about the extent of her knowledge on the subject. It was an interesting thought, this competition...of course, anything that implied potential cheating was interesting to the shady little Mendel.

"Have you learned anything...worthwhile?"


XBear
"I'll be sure to get you a packet, I'm sure you could get creative with possibly malicious uses for it..." Pushing a chunk of loose hair back behind his ear, the navy eyes scanned the elevator for cameras of anysort, making mental notes for future extracurricular activity refrences.

You know. In case he wanted to get some quick between class exercise, creatively.

"Aw, no miniature rocket packs on sale at your local Mini-Mart?" The teen teased, murring in amusement as he stepped out and into the girl's floor, inhaling the lingering scent of said gender.

Not bad, but not good enough to tip his scales at the moment. Apparently, too much of a good thing was bad.

Flicking his eyes to the doors as he meandered down the dorm hall, stopping at the one labeled '33'before reaching down and opening the door with a turn and a push. "Which bed you want Shorts?"

Her roommate didn't seem to be around, so Adrian stepped in [not like her presence would have stopped his entrance], shifting the bag before kicking the door shut.


XBear
At this he snorted. Manicure. Did he look like a manicure type? Just because he ******** males didn't mean he wore a ******** 'skirt'.

"What? No mattress? Not even on the floor?" Adrian gave a gasp in mock horror, though he was honestly confused at the losing of the mattress. Bedframe he understood, mattress however.. "You don't want your own padded palace for moon bouncing fun, amung other things..."

Whatever. Though he didn't think the frame would even fit out the door, 'Drian set her bag down on the sessile bed before muttering a 'hold on sweetums' and hefting the pillow top up against the wall for the time being.

It was then that he noticed something about the wooden frame that nearly made him gleeful. It broke apart for easy storing. "Closet okay with you Shorts?"

Eventually, after much heaving and hoing, Everything was either set on the floor or stuffed in the closet. His reasoning was, if the mattress stayed on the floor, then he'd have a place to comfortably crash if need be, and of course his body was also oh so comfortable. So thus he bargained.

"If you want yourself a drinking partner, howbouts the sleepable part of the bed stays on the floor where ever you want... So I can crash here for easy taxi-ing the morning after. Savvy?" Sitting down on the framed bed, Adrian gave a grin to Arsenic, one that few women before could disagree with.

Though he was pretty sure that wasn't going to seal a deal with Shorts here.


Miss Arsenic
"Rocket packs. Peh. I'd rather a miniGlock, personally. Pchew! Pchew!"

Shooting her 'fingergun' at people further down the hall, Arsenic chuckled...gripping Adrian's earlobe once more as he pushed her door open.

"Ohhh, homey! Or is it homely? I always forget." Snorting at the bland accomodations, Arsenic shook her head in wry amusement...obviously, the decorating budget was minimal. Suddenly, she missed her old appartment with Aki. Not that she missed Aki, but there was a certain charm to having a room papered in porn.

"Do me a favor and haul that matress off. That one, by the window. Shove the bed frame out into the hall...it's a bit high for my tastes already. You up for that, or you worried about ruining your manicure?"

Patting his cheek with mock sympathy, Arsenic was grinning once again. He took jabs almost as well as Titanium. What more could she ask for in a man?

Tying her long dreads up into a knot once more, beads clicking against her burnished horns, Arsenic shook her head at the spartan room. In truth, she didn't give a crap about having the bed by the window...but hopefully her roommate would. Bargaining chips were always welcome, in any form.

"After you've lathered yourself up into a manly sweat, we can have a drink. Unless, of course, you don't partake..."

The word 'sissy' was perched upon her lips, waiting desperately for his potential response.


Miss Arsenic
"Well..." One brow climbing, Arsenic chewed upon Adrian's comment about the mattress...finally snickering as it became clear. Get rid of the mattress? No. She'd meant 'haul' as in 'move it' so the frame could be dismantled!! Why pass up the opportunity, though, since it had so neatly presented itself?

"I suppose if it pleases you, pet...the mattress can stay." Shrugging graciously, Arsenic's smile twisted with her poorly concealed humor. "Set my bag on the bed, I'll do the rest later. Let's check out your room and be done with it...I'm starving. Oh, and hand me that mint...yeah, that little wrapped one."

Pointing to the little candy in the mesh pocket of her bag, Arsenic grabbed a hank of hair and sat down carefully upon Adrian's shoulder. "We'll find someone to give it too...after all, sharing is caring."

Swinging her legs where she sat perched, little hooves battering against her host's collarbone, Arsenic tried to spur him into motion. So much to do! "So, you're room 25, yes? Since I was kind enough to leave a mattress for you, I'm certain you'll have a lush little pillow ready for me, eh?" Covering a wide yawn with one dark hand, Arsenic stretched and resumed her hold on Adrian's earlobe...a bit trickier now that she was seated.

"Mush. Onward, lad. Conquests await!" They'd better. For a magical school on top of a floating island, it was turning out to be a remarkably dull scene. "While we're trucking, maybe you could tell me just why that little fork of yours is so special."

Flicking one hoof towards the trident, Arsenic wobbled...suddenly grabbing his ear tighter for support. She wasn't exactly the most graceful of creatures...perhaps shoulder sitting wasn't her forte.

Not a very comforting thought...it was a long way down.

Letting the bag fall to the bed, the teen rummaged through the pocket till he found what she was yacking for. Dropping his eyes to the hooves, Adrian gave them a light flick with his index finger, not enough to knock her off his shoulder, but just enough to wobble her.

"Sure, I'll get you a pillow..." He gave a mock sigh and handed her the collected candy, "Oh, and it depends on what you share though Mistress Nic."

His tone was definately one of jest, since he'd never seriously call anyone Master or Mistress.

Eh, she could take a joke.

On his way out of the room, he considered her question and stayed in silence for a good time before he cleared his throat and responded. "Trident. Not a fork. Trident." He said sourly, taking the stairs down two at a time.

Sighing, he slid the card key to open his door, pushing it foreward as he spoke, first checking to see if his roommate was around to hear. "I guess you've never studied Greek mythology... I'm one of those lovely gods..."

The last part spoken in dry Ancient Greek, "Still haven't figured if it's good or bad yet."

He was pretty sure she didn't understand the Greek, so he just gave her a forced smug smile before turning a question on to her.

"Trying for one of them scrolls that strange lady was talkin' 'bout?" Yes changing the subject was good.


Miss Arsenic
Giving Adrian an extra kick as he flicked her hooves, wobbling dangerously, Arsenic grabbed a hank of hair and snorted. With any luck, he'd end up with a bruise...not that anyone could tell.

Laughing to herself, Arsenic kept her hold on the lock and leaned forward...tugging on the chain. "Okay...fork, trident, whatever. At least it's not a spoon."

Grinning sidelong, she offered the dark lad a wink. People could get awfully touchy about personal items, and the idea of a ten story fall wasn't very appealing.

"So, it has something to do with greek mythology? Pan was a babe, but aside from that it's all a big blur of inbreeding and infidelity. At least, that's all I remember."

Settling back once more, the mint tucked under one arm, Arsenic crinkled the wrapping as they made their way into room 25. Peering around, the tiny Mendel sighed...what a dull place.

"Scrolls, hmm? I heard about it, wasn't there for the 'official announcement though. I'll give it a shot, I suppose...I imagine the red one would compliment my complexion nicely. Educational and fashionable! I bet the boys are all a-titter."

Her general assessment of the male population upon the isle was evident. Perhaps that was why she tolerated Adrian...despite his flair, he was still more or less a man. More or less.

"So, you're trying for one, I take it? Hopefully not the red one, I'd almost feel bad for crushing you mercilessly..."

Pointing towards the spare bed, Arsenic motioned to be set down. His roommate could use a mint...right?


XBear
"Try Poseidon." He went silent before quickly following the direction the conversation was led into, "Nope, the only one I'm interested in is the water one, for obvious reasons. With my luck, I'll get it and then have myself a pal to go 'home' with me... Or rather what they all say is my home..."

With a wave of dismissal on the subject of 'home', Adrian raised a hand to the Mendel, offering her a ride down to his roommate's bed. Setting his hand down over the mattress, he moved to sit down to the side of where ever she landed.

"I should probably go home and grab my s**t... So I can move in to this prison in a timely fashion. Do you want a ride back outside?" He had shopping to do unfortunately, as well as lugging all his crap up her. Lucky for him Zanna would be helping him with that too.

The faster he did that, the faster he could get to figuring out who, what, where, when, and why about the other students here. It paid to be knowledgable.


Miss Arsenic
Arsenic hopped across the bed, bouncing from foot to foot as she galloped towards Adrian's roommate's pillow. Setting the 'mint' on the cushion, she adjusted it carefully...making sure it was tidy and centered.

"There we go. Home, eh? Considering the word Poseidon I can only imagine where home is. Trident certainly makes sense now though, hmmm? Considering I can't swim to save my life, I'll bid you adieu."

Scrabbling back towards him, stumbling over ripples of blanket, Arsenic finally latched on to his wrist and settled down in the palm of his hand. Sitting crosslegged, she pointed regally towards the door.

"Back to room 33, lad! On the double! I've some unpacking to do, and some thumbtacks to arrange!"

Grabbing his thumb for balance, Arsenic nudged his hand higher. What a view! Her tone didn't change in the slightest at his deific discussion....apparently being divine awarded one little honor. But being sassy...now there was a selling point!


XBear
Adrian rolled his eyes at the commands, but stood up and headed towards the door nonetheless, "Do you really want me to run? You may fall?" Wriggling his thumb teasingly, Adrian smirked down at the Mendel before he went up the stairs two at a time.

Raising his hand a bit higher, he pushed open her door once he got to it, moving Nic to the other bed and setting her down on it. "Now a favor, no mentioning that who... Poseidon thing to anyone and I'll promise to bring you back some much desired goodies..."

His eyes gleamed with mischief, oh he knew just the place to go to get her an entire baggy full of fun stuff.


Miss Arsenic
"Much desired goodies? As though you could fathom the depth of my passions. Get it? Fathom? Depth? Oh, I kill me." Grinning to herself, Arsenic clutched his thumb...still gazing at the sheer distance to the floor.

"Well, I'll try my best to keep my mouth shut, but keeping secrets isn't exactly my strong point. You'd best hurry back before I slip up." Winking at Adrian with a sidelong glance, Arsenic held up one little hand.

"This is my stop! On the mattress is fine. Oh, and I want a fish if you come across one...no big feat for you, eh? Maybe two of those fancy ones that rip the hell out of each other when you put them in the same bowl. Heh. Heh heh heh." Eyes narrowed at the possibility, Nic hopped down onto the mattress. That would be better than TV!


XBear
With an eyeroll to her previous joke , he set her down onto the mattress, Adrian raised an eyebrow at her request. "Don't relly know any fish shops... But we'll see..."

Running his now free hand through his hair, he gave her one of his usual untrustworthy grins before giving her a slight wave. "I'll be back soon enough, luck on the scroll Shorts."

And with that the teen was gone, shutting the door behind him as he made his way back towards home. He had packing and shopping to do before he came back.


Miss Arsenic
Raising a brow as Adrian sauntered out, matching his grin with one of her own, Arsenic plodded across her bed to the huge black leather bag. He was a an interesting fellow...and almost as calculating as she. How rare, and utterly delightful.

Grabbing a zipper tab in both hands, Nic planted her feet and hauled backwards...stumbling as the teeth finally gave and the mechanism pulled slowly to the side. Marching purposefully around half the laptop case, Nic unzipped the largest compartment and paused for a breath.

"I need a shrink gun. That would be pimp."

Muttering to herself as she twisted her dreads into a knot of a bun, Arsenic crawled boldly inside. A few minutes later, a variety of objects lay scattered upon her bed. A match box full of 'clothes', a little case of pushpins, a 'pocket book' and a silver flask...way to start the morning right!! Unscrewing the lid, wrapping her entire arm around it to get leverage, Nic took a long drink before wrestling the cap back on.

"Woo! Good enough. Okaaaaay!" Grinning to herself, Arsenic nodded at her unpacking job and shook her dreads out of their knot...the beads chicking and chiming against her burnished horns as her hair swept back into place.

Scrabbling down off her mattress, wobbling a bit as she stood, the little Mendel wiped her mouth on the back of her hand and trotted out into the hall. She wanted to check up on those scrolls...after all, she was here to learn. Right?

Right.
