[OOC:] Never saw the end of that.
Luckily for Benjamin he had arrived in time for the rain to roll over the modern city. Leaving one unlucky student to walk up to the large school Said poor sap was dressed in a baggy black coat, midnight hair pulled back into a braid, and only a backpack of belongings. The student, this girl, had been assigned under the school's care since she had no family or legal guardian. She had been working since childhood, which would explain the beat up red Vespa scooter she was wheeling beside her. Why wasn't she riding it? Out of gas.
Finally the girl arrived at the school and sat down just inside the door with her scooter, sighing. She was soaked to the bone and freezing. "Man I need a smoke..." she muttered, shivering a little. Yes, she smoked. Quite a lot too. Another reason she didn't have any gas. Spent her money on food and cigarettes. But now she was out of all three and stranded at the school the courts had assigned her to.

Benjamin was putting his bags down on his bed, and unpacking when the lights flickered from the storm. Some top boarding school this was, he thought. He sat down on his bed and stared out the rain-covered window to the front gardens of the school. He had read in the handbook (the only thing he'd had after his iPod died on the flight over) that the school was ancient. The castle had been built over thousands of years ago by a mysterious Master of the caste. It had been turned into a school for "magical" studies by a man who was apparently beyond famous. Supposedly, generations of witches, wizards, demons, faeries, mermaids, and dragons attended the school. Of course, now it was just a little boarding school with no funding and a historical restoration taking place above its roof. This was far away from Spain, where Benjamin had happily grown up. He groaned and flopped back on his bed. At least it was coed...

The girl, self-named Icarus, got to her feet as the staff took her Vespa and put it with the other bikes and scooters that other students had brought. She then was given a key and a map. She ignored the rules they tried to drill into her as she always did before heading up to her room. Of course as she went, she began to wonder why she was assigned here. Had someone taken her case and become her legal guardian? Who knows... She obviously didn't. Once in her new room, she took off her jacket and hung it out to dry, wondering how to get more clothes.

As the lights continued to flicker, an announcement came over the staticky PA calling for dinner in the dining hall on the second floor. Benjamin considered skipping out--not exposing himself to the world of the school until he'd at least made a friend in the school, but his stomach growled, reminding him that he'd refused to eat the disgusting plane food they'd served. So he got up, stretched, and headed downstairs. By the time he got there, it appeared most of the other students were already there and sorting themselves into what appeared to be very distinct cliques. There were obvious jocks, complete with a very strange looking varsity jacket. A large amount of nerds, who appeared to be the dominating majority in the school. There was a handful of gothic looking kids. Benjamin frowned, heading towards the kitchen where a line of students were getting food. Once he caught sight of the multitude of food, he decided that all the school's funding went to its kitchen. Then he remembered reading that there was a culinary program. Students made the food.

Icarus heard the PA crackle to life and pass on the announcement of food. She was starving so she jumped at the chance. She headed downstairs and to the cafeteria. But of course someone had to annoy her. As such were the jocks who didn't want to listen to her. "Hey. Move. I want to get some food." she said, lightly kicking the jock in the back of the leg.

The jock turned at the kick and his friend stood up, too. "Got a problem, Punk?" he asked, cracking his knuckles and raising his eyebrows. A few other students started to crowd around. It had been a boring, rainy day inside, and they were looking for some action. Benjamin heard the commotion, and he turned to see a group of jocks circling a girl. Really? How was that a fair fight? Girl or not, it looked to be eight against one. "Hey, is there a problem here?" he asked as he reached the group of jocks. The head jock glanced at him, sized him up, and decided that he could take him. "Nah, it's cool. Go back to whatever it is you Mexicans do these days and leave me to this." Benjamin raised his eyebrows as the jock turned away from him, and he grabbed the guy's shoulder, turning him back around. "I'm from Spain, tirón," Benjamin responded before punching the guy across the face. Looks like the students were going to get the fight they wanted.

Icarus was about to respond when a spaniard came and clocked one of them. She growled and clocked Benjamin. "Hey! Stay out of my fights, Spaniard!" she yelled at him, pointing down at the european before whirling around and slamming her fist right into the nose of the jock behind her.

Benjamin was a little stunned as the girl hit him and told him to stay out, but unfortunately for both of them, another jock lifted Benjamin up and took a shot at him. Benjamin ducked, kicked the guy's legs out from under him, and kicked him out into the crowd, where he tried to get up. Another jock came at Benjamin, and he ducked, getting clipped on the shoulder before punching the jock's jaw. "All right, break it up!" A teacher stomped through, pulling the jocks off of the two new students. "What's happening here?" he asked, glaring accusingly. The head jock frowned and pointed at the two new students. "They started attacking us. We didn't even provoke them, Coach!" It was then that Benjamin realized they were screwed. The jocks were playing innocent with someone who thought they were more valuable. The man glared at the new students, and grabbed each but their collars and started to drag them to the principal's office.

Icarus fought against the coach quite fervently until she was dropped outside the principal's office. Once the coach was gone, she pulled out quite a wad of bills and a pack of cigarettes, she tucked the pack away before counting the money. One other way besides working? Being a pickpocket seemed quite handy at this school.

Benjamin looked at the wad of money and pack of cigarettes that the punky girl had clearly stolen and rolled his eyes, before the door in front of them opened. "Enter," the principal called out, and Benjamin only glanced at the girl before doing so. "I see that you've both only been her for perhaps an hour at most, and you've both already gotten into trouble."

Icarus quickly tucked the money away as she heard the man in charge call them in. Once inside she pulled out a cigarette and lit it, tucking the lighter away. "Let's get one thing straight here. This stupid european got in the middle of my fight. So let him go and I'll take double the punishment." she said, blowing out a puff of smoke. For someone fresh off the streets, she had quite the honor.

The principal raised an eyebrow, before reaching across the table and putting out Icarus' cigarette. "No smoking in my office. I intend to live for many more years. As for this fight, I do believe that you, Benjamin, threw the first punch, regardless of whose fight this was. You will both receive detention for the first month of Saturdays, working with the restoration crew upstairs." [OOC:] What'll their lineages be?

[OOC:] Not sure. I am torn now between a dragon and Shiro... Because she smokes, like a dragon would, but her name links better to Shiro's lineage.
Icarus growled a little when the principal took her cigarette and put it out. She just huffed at the punishment and decided to leave. This school was stupid. Why did she have to come here?! The girl went back to her room and sat on her bed and resumed counting the money she'd taken from the jocks' pockets. As she did, she lit another cigarette and blew a few smoke rings. Then back to counting her haul. Icarus was probably going to skip classes and her punishment anyways.

[OOC:] It's not unlikely that either Kaitani's lineage or Searan's lineage would cross with Shiro's. They're not related, after all. I was thinking mine would be Diablo and Myra. Benjamin took the punishment and went back to his room, hungrier than before. But hey, at least now he could get a look at the top floors. He winced as he put his head on a pillow, the feeling of the bruise from the girl punching him rather painful. There was a knock on the door, and he opened it. "I'm here to look at that wound," said a girl holding up a first aid kit. Benjamin grimaced but let her in. "Principal said you got hit pretty good. I'd say that's the work of Jack." Benjamin just shrugged, letting her treat his wound. Once she was done, he had to admit it felt better. "Have fun in detention," she said cryptically on her way out.

[OOC:] Alright. Maybe they did cross. But I'll keep my main lineage to Shiro and Maria.
Icarus soon wadded up her new money stash and put it in her wallet. She then hid it between her mattresses before laying down. She sighed a little, blowing smoke at the broken ceiling fan before looking to her window. It was still raining horribly and she rolled her eyes. And yet... Her mind drifted to the door. She got up and wedged a chair against it to keep anyone from coming in. Once that was secure, she moved her bed into the far corner and curled up in the sheets. Maybe some sleep in an adequate bed would do her some good.
