Welcome to Gaia! ::

You know, just sitting here, listening to the mix of the different instruments playing music from different countries wasn't half bad to be honest. And sitting next to Roderich on the violin was probably one of the best places since the other instruments some how managed to compliment the violin's song as background music. The German's eyes had closed and he managed to crack a small smile.... Almost like he was drifting off....

And it started.

The bag pipes were what really caused Ludwig to jump in his seat. The hackbrett that was sitting on his lap tumbled to the ground and smashed against his foot. He stood, howling out in both pain and rage. What the hell had happened while he was thinking?! Now Arthur and Alfred looked like they were about to start a fight, both the Irelands were fighting with one another. Kjell looked like he was going to kill some one. Ludwig was sure he might have messed up one of his toes from the heavy instrument landing corner first onto his foot (he swore he could feel blood in his shoe, not much but enough to catch his attention). Joy. Why was the peace and happiness gone?!

He sighed in anger as he picked up the hackbrett and sat it on his seat. It better not be broken. He didn't want to have to pay to get a new one. He stomped over towards the two red-heads fighting and stepped between the two of them before yelling himself. "BOTH OF YOU STOP THIS NONSENSE!" He pointed a finger to Maureen and said a commanding tone, "Go sit down before you get in a fight. I'm not in the mood to drag a lady to the office because she got in a yelling match over something as rediculous as music." He then pointed a finger at Jack and used the same commanding tone. "What is your name? You should know better than to enter a room-- late no less-- and purposefully disrupt the peace in order to start a fight."

Maureen O'Mally
"Ireland"
*junior*

Ludwig frowned and stated, "I don't care who started it. And don't call me Kruat. My name is Ludwig, and you are to call me that. Understood, boy?" He shot a sharp look to Maureen, a very deep frown crossing his face and his eyebrows knit in his customary, angry expression that he wore when he felt he was dealing with a stupid situation. "If you were being good, then go back to being good. Retaliating will result in you being just as guilty as the person starting a fight." He looked to Jack and added, "Not saying that either of you have started this seeing as how I don't know-- nor want to know-- how this all started. What I want is peace and order." He stood up straight and clasped his hands behind his back, glancing back and forth between each as he spoke. "If you would like to continue the 'He did this, She said that' argument you are currently having, then I can just as easily have you finish it in the front office where Vice Principal Valentine can figure out who really is to blame and a fit punishment for both for wasting perfectly good time. Is that what we are wanting?"

God, what crawled up Ludwig's a** and died? Peace and order? In high school? Jack very nearly snorted. Like that was actually possible.

"Sorry sir," he said, with a straight face, pretending to play along, all the way picking Ludwig apart in his mind with snide comments. "Shan't happen again, sir. I'll keep myself in line, sir."

And while Maureen had slapped someone, that someone was never specified so Jack didn't react.

As soon as Maureen made contact, Ludwig's hand shot out and tugged her away from the man she had smacked. (though he was confused as to why in her anger she hit Kjell...) Then the comments from Jack began. Ludwig's eyes twitched in annoyance. Oh, the temptation to just let the girl rip him a new hide was starting to make a nice little buzzing noise in his ear. Instead, he told himself he wasn't going to stoop to his level. He had already known people would probably taunt him for being strict or because of his past, but he hadn't expected it to be so early in the school year.
