Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You may seem fine on the outside, but we, as concerned classmates, had to be sure." Klyde smiled ruefully as Desmond spoke. "Yes, please share with us your woes. Oh, and I am very sorry by the way." The half empty bottle of blood that Kylar held went still in his hand. With a quick glance at Desmond, Klyde re-focused on Ken, his eyes intense with mischief. He was honestly trying to bait the boy, but whether the bait would be taken or not, Klyde would still dump the drink in his lap.

(skip the Mitsu)

His bait had been ignored. That irked him more than anything. With minor effort, Klyde 'spilled' his drink allowing the contents to splatter in Ken's direction. "So sorry, seems my hand slipped." Scooting back a bit to avoid any of the blood from getting on his uniform, Klyde stood up.

Mitsu felt a bit lost. She had been sure that the main office had been in this direction but she kept pacing the courtyard between building A and building B with no luck. Finally she happened upon someone she thought might be able to help. "Um...ex....excuse me."

Lounging across a bench, Neko looked up from his laptop, his brow quirked seeing a student walking up toward him. Now what did this little brat want? "What?" He asked curtly.

Mitsu paused when he spoke. He sounded like he didn't want to be bothered, and the fact that he went back to his laptop was another indication. "Umm, I was wondering if you could tell me where the main office was."

It took a minute for Neko to reply, he seemed busy moving things around on the screen before he finally spoke. "You're on the wrong side of the building."

"Y...yes. I.." She didn't want to say she had figured that out. It sounded a little rude. Looking between the two buildings another question formed. "Which building...am I on the wrong side of?" She waited for an answer but Neko seemed to be focused on whatever he was doing. Curious Mitsu moved a bit closer and tilted her head to see what he was doing. It took her a moment to fully grasp the situation. She at first thought he was playing a simple game on his laptop that involved tiles. Mahjong Akahage in bold letters in the middle. It wasn't until Neko completed his set of tiles that the string of curses started to show up on the chat screen off to the side.

"Heh, that's right. Pay up," Neko grinned as he made arrangements to collect his winnings.

So...so he was gambling? Mitsu wasn't sure what to think. What was he doing out here so early in the morning, gambling on his laptop?

"What you're still here?" Neko looked up to see Mitsu peeking over his shoulder. Not that he cared that she saw what he was doing. "Go through that building there." He pointed to the door off to the side for building A. "Just walk through there and go all the way to the end and turn right. The main building entrance will be right there. Now scram." Going back to his laptop he appeared to ignore her.

"O....oh. Thank you." Mitsu bowed slightly before she hurried off. If she lucked out it wouldn't take much to bring up her information and schedule and she'd still be able to grab something to eat before class.

"I did apologize," Klyde smiled as he stood up. His mission here was done so there was no need to stay. Someone else would clean up the mess. "So what shall we do while we wait for our Queen to arrive?" Klyde looked to Desmond, a mischievous grin on his face. He wasn't one to waste the morning of the first day of school.

It still took a bit of searching but Mitsu finally stumbled upon the main office. After a little searching and bringing up her records they were able to grace her with a copy of the schedule she had lost. "Thank you!" Mitsu called as she left nearly running into one of the teachers. "O..oh sorry." Quietly she passed him after she apologized, hoping to get back to the cafeteria before she had to be at class.

Not saying a word, Suto allowed the little white haired girl to pass. Did no one ever watch where they were going? Watching her run down the hall and finally exit the building, Suto shook his head before he entered the main building. He and Hakim were supposed to have a 'talk' and no doubt this 'talk' would last until his first class started. Grumbling he disappeared into the back.

As Desmond played Klyde's shadow, Tessa played Nami's. With the grace of a dancer she moved into her seat a smile curving her lips as she spotted the blood on the table. "You certainly work quickly. I hope you boys aren't over doing it on the first day of school. What will the children have to look forward to throughout the school year?"

Stepping away from his seat Klyde moved to help push in Nami's chair. "Good morning, my Queen. You are as radiant as ever." With a grin he looked between Nami and Tessa. "Oh, we aren't doing much. Just establishing a few targets. Ground work. Right, Desmond?" Taking a seat next to Nami, Klyde grinned a grin that would make the Cheshire cat envious. "The girl you told us of last night sounds rather interesting. I do so hope to getting started on that one soon."

The hive consisted of a main body and the lower ranks. The Queen bee and her main group had yet to give the rest of their minions any real details or orders so they were itching for something to do. Most had skipped out early on the last class of the day or had been let out early so they stood around outside talking up what they were going to do this year.

"It's so boring with no real details to work with," A blonde boy said.

"Tell me about it. The first day has been slow. I only gave one swirly and shoved a kid in his locker." Said a rather buff looking senior.

"Swirly? Way to keep it classic, dude." As lame as it would seem one of his buddies came up to fist bump him in the matter, approving of a job well done.

"You can't beat the classics." It was then that the buff senior went quiet when Lina came into view cutting across the field. It seemed she was taking a different route to avoid the crowd...and people in general. "Hey, check it out."

All in unison on what they wanted to do, the boys headed toward Lina in a fast walk, cutting her off as she started around the clock tower. Here it would be rather isolated and very few would see what was going on.

"Hey there cutie," The senior started, a grin on his lips. The other boys came up from different angles, blocking Lina against the clock tower.

((If someone else wants to add in a bully or two feel free :3 ))

"What do we want?" The senior smiled as he stepped toward Lina trying to keep her pinned close to the wall. Once he was close enough he placed a hand on the wall just beside her head leaning forward so that his face was inches away from her's. The tone of her voice didn't seem to deter him, if anything it egged him on. "We want what anyone wants. A little bit of fun." Reaching out the senior took hold of Lina's bag, giving it a swift jerk to pull it free from her grasp.

Cheers of agreement seemed to come from the other boys as they tightened their circle making escape even harder. It was hard to say what they had planned, but from the look in their eyes it wasn't good.

Sohki was running a little late leaving class, but wanted to stop at the cafeteria for something to eat. It had been a long day and he hadn't eaten lunch for wanting to avoid the lunch room. He hated crowds. As he reached for the door some conversation caught his ear and he tilted his head in that direction, curious as to what was going on. For a moment, he thought about ignoring it. Surely it wasn't anything important, but soon curiosity got the better of him and he left to investigate.

Once the bag was in his grasp the senior quickly unzipped it and dumped its contents out on the ground, kicking the bag off to the side. He then followed Lina's path along the wall. "Where you goin'?" He cooed.

"Hey!" It was the only spoken word out of Sohki's mouth but it was enough to get the group's attention. He looked from Lina to her things that were now scattered across the ground. True he did his fair share of bullying, but he never bullied girls, and usually he only started fights with guys who were semi-willing to fight. "Real impressive that it takes a group of your goons to pick on one girl."

"Got a problem with it?" The senior snapped stepping closer to Lina still to make sure she couldn't go anywhere.

"Don't be such a hypocrite, we see you bully people all the time!" Yelled another boy.

"Maybe we need to show this hypocrite a lesson." The senior spoke. As if cued, one of the boys stepped forward motioning to his friends to follow.

Sohki sighed, he really hadn't planned on playing the hero or anything like that. But if it was a fight they wanted, it was a fight they would get.

((others should jump in 8D))

"ahh! my books!" Lina shouted in dismay, before shrinking back again as they rounded on her, but then sudden the seniors were all paying attention to another bully. Sohki. She gulped at the much larger boy who had appeared. Sohki wasn't a good guy. He may have not been apart of the hive, but he still was a bully.

"Hmmm...She's not here..." Looking around the mess of people in the cafeteria, Varn was left to shrug and try to think of were else she could of gone. "Maybe she went back to her dorm?" Glancing at the hall, he realized that it was getting too crowded inside. "Lets cut across the grass, it looks like a royal pain.

"It's always crowded at this time of day" poke made a commend before she was out the door and getting some much needed fresh air. Accompanying the other two, she walked across the lawn not really thinking of anything. Until she got to the clock tower.

It didn't take long for her to survey the situation, and to see Lina was stuck in a corner surrounded by bullies who were now going up against...Sohki? What the hell?? Poke didn't really care at the moment. Before Ken or Varn could say anything, she was running across the field at top speed. "What the hell are you doing?!?!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping to draw as much attention to herself as possible and away from her friend.
