Azzo, sat in his chair for a second his door to his room wide open, as he normally did when not sleeping or not otherwise occupying the room. On his head sat his show top hat, the one he wore when giving a performance of hypnotism. He sighed as he played with a picture of his 'friend' that didn't make the cut into transferring high schools. He shook his head almost sadly as he began to realize that she was a few thousand miles away and in no way any use to him here.
Standing up, Azzo looked around the hallways before deciding that he hadn't explored the higher up floors of the dorms. He walked to the nearest stair case, that conveniently wasn't all that far away, and ascended to the second floor looking around. Granted it was obvious that all the rooms couldn't be that different, but it did occur to him that he might run into some lovely assistants. He smiled as he traveled the hallways slowly looking for someone to speak to humming softly a song he'd heard on the radio not too long ago. Azzo was nearing the other side of the building, opposite of his room looking around for someone interesting to speak to.

Allie was carrying a box of some of her stuff to her room. It looked like a small animal has chewed on the box at some point, and she was looking at the teeth marks absently. She sighed when she got to her room, looking for a place to set the box a moment to open the door.
She hadn't really noticed any of the other students, or even if any were classmates from her former school. She was preoccupied by her own thoughts of moving from home...and getting her computer set up so she could e-mail her friend.

He first spotted her carrying a box of something. Giving a soft grin he nodded taking mental notes of the girl. When she stopped at the door he smiled and walked closer, "Would the pretty lady like some help?" Azzo almost cooed at her in delight thinking he might've found his next helper.
His grin was about as large as a possums as he stood there, "By the way, my name is Azzo Wolf Crowly. But you can call me Azzo, or if you'd like Riff-Raff as most of my friends do." He waited for her answer.

Allie blinked, then looked toward the voice. "Oi...you can't sneak up on a person."
She paused, noticing who it belonged to. He wasn't bad looking, with his fuzzy eyebrows and reverse mullet style. "Riff-Raff? Like that movie? Yeah...can you hole this so I can get my door open? Just don't drop it...I haven't made sure everything in there is safe yet."

He chuckled as he took the box, "I'm sorry, I thought you'd saw me."
He peeked at the box looking curiously, "Yes, Riff-Raff like the movie, it's my stage name really." He said in almost a vexed manner, as if he was actually envious of the original holder of the name.
"...And Safe? What do you mean safe miss?" He was still looking curiously at the box with one of his shaggy eyebrows lofted and head tilted.

"No, sorry. I was lost in thought," Allie replied, digging her room key out of her pocket. She looked at a chain that seemed to be missing a keyring charm, then shook her head. She went about unlocking the door. "Stage name? You do shows?"
The girl glanced at the box, her teal eyes gleaming some what mischieviously. "Well, I only had one of my inventions explode....and the boy's eyebrows grew back....sorta."
"My name's Allistaire Silverwood, but most call me Allie," she told him, brushing some of her red bangs back. She opened the door, then reached for the box. "Well, thanks for your help, Riff..."

He shrugged softly, "Ah yes, that happens." He paused for a second she didn't seem too interested but he'd see how much interest he could get from her as he beamed, "Yes, I do shows! I'm a hypnotist you see..."
His smile faltered for a second as she informed him of the small mishap, well before chuckling that is, "Well at least he hair left, am I right? I'm sure the poor boy's had worse done to him. Speically if he plays football or some other sport that's just as bad on the body loosing some hair would've been the least of his worries."
Giving a soft nod of his head he smiled, "Allistaire, what a pretty name! It's very nice to meet you Allie." Looking around he leaned on the wall outside the door, "I don't suppose you need any more help with boxes do you? Lugging such things up stairs can be horrendously tiresome!" His arms were crossed over his chest as he spoke waiting to see an answer.

"Hypnotism...? Isn't that mostly a lot of bunk?" Allie asked, setting the box on her bed and looking back at him. Her science geared mind was at work. "You do this as a living? Must be hard work with something that doesn't work."
She shrugged, smirking a little. She moved to the door, ready to get more things. Oh...sure, he had hair. Last I seen him. But I don't think he liked not having eyebrows for a bloomin' month. I felt bad...I mean, my invention should have worked. Who knew toasters could only do so much."
"Uhh..." She paused at her door, glancing at him. She raised an eyebrow, then smiled. "Sure...if you aren't scared there might be a small furry critter hiding about in one. I got three more downstairs. Mum and Dad dropped them off earlier...but I can only manage one at a time. Mostly they're all my projects I'm working on, so...you'd have to handle them with care. Might lose more than an eyebrow."

Azzo laughed, "If only you know how much of that statement is wrong my dear. You just have to know the right minds to pick for the experiment. It's very much like your science, you have your control group and your experimental group."
He blinked, "What were you trying to get the toaster to do?" He was curious as to how a toaster could actually burn eyebrows off.
He followed her with a chuckle, "Furry critters are always fun, lets just hope it's not a pet that someone in your family will be missing. I'd hate to know you have a little brother somewhere bawling his eyes out 'cause Mr. McFluffals is gone." The grin continued as he walked, "I'm sure if I lost any of my hair that it'd grow back in time, besides I have no shame." He shrugged, "I could lose my whole head of hair and strut around still proud. Though dealing with a lady that's lost her hair, now that I would feel bad about."
He paused, "And, perhaps if there's such a risk you should let me carry boxes and you supervise, then if anyone of us loses hair it'd be me. Yours would be such a shame to loose as pretty as it is."

"Hypnotism is nothing short of a parlor trick. Don't get me wrong, I like parlor tricks...but in parlors," Allie replied, locking her door and turning to follow him back down to where her boxes were waiting. "I find it more something made up...like Dracula seducing Lucy and Mina. Look into my eyes...bam, hypnotized."
She looked at him with her wide, teal eyes, blushing a bit and showing off her freckles. "Well...it was supposed play a beta tape...but the monitor I had it hooked up to sorta surged making it more of a flamethrower. We were doing experiments, taking items and making them into thing you generally wouldn't use them for. Never had a problem with it before."
"Oh...no. I'm an only child, so Knickers is my pet. The cheeky monkey likes to hide in my things and steal the shinies," Allie explained, chuckling a little. "Mum says it her full-time hobby just keeping tabs on him. He really shouldn't be in the boxes, but there's no telling."
She had to stop short to avoid running into the boy when he stopped, "Oi..no sudden stops there. It's fine for me to carry my boxes, I know how to handle them safely. You're really the only one at risk of losing hair...or a finger..."

Azzo looked at Allie and shook his head laughing, "You've seen too many movies. You can't Hypnotize anyone that way, well maybe one or two, but they've got to be pretty thin skulled."
He shook his head, "No Hypnotism is an Art. Not something you take lightly, if in the wrong hands it could be dangerous, Ya'know doing stupid things like brainwashing people already near suicide into doing it." He shook his head, "Have to be careful with that s**t."
He glanced back at her, "Pet monkey? Now that is an interesting pet. Coolest pet I've ever known someone to own besides that is one of those big a** spiders." He wrinkled his nose slightly.
He held the door to the stairs for her, "a beta tape.... Interesting." He listened intrigued by her little hobby. "Heh, well I guess if you need protection it wouldn't be hard to find it. Sounds pretty cool if it was controlled and suppose to happen."
He blinked when she almost ran into him, "OH! Sorry, I do that occasionally, it's a habit... Maybe to keep it from happening you should walk beside me." He gave a soft nod as he continued walking, "Hum... loosing a finger, that could be interesting... A little bloody, but interesting."

Allie rolled her eyes, moving to walk next to him, "No...I read Brom Stoker's Dracula. Well, before seeing it. The Victorian age had some of the coolest writing....though I prefer Frankenstein to Dracula. You're more like Dracula, I'm more like Frankenstein...the doctor, not the monster."
"I've read about the brainwashing and such, but usually chemicals are also involved, aren't they?" she shrugged, hoping this wasn't about to become a debate. She didn't mind debating science versus non-science...but she didn't want to lose her help in moving her boxes, either.
She laughed, shaking her head. "Oh, no...Knickers is my ferret, not a monkey. Sorry...I don't own a really cool pet. Just a little thief."
"Well, I have made a welding torch once, but that was because I'm too young to buy one. My dream is to make a gun that emits electricity in waves...not like a tazer, but actual stun gun. Sand wires and that lot," Allie rambled, adding to her rambling by punctuating her words with hand movements. She glanced at him, "You think losing a finger would be interesting? That's a very strange way to think on it."

He chuckled, "Alright, I'm Dracula then. You should make me some cool fangs, since you like to invent things." He grinned, "And you are now Frankenstein, when I come to visit you I shall call out 'Hellooo Frankie, are you there, let me into your lab, but 'Im Dracula so beware'!"
He laughed at his own 'cunning joke' before going back to thinking, "I suppose chemicals could be use. I don't normally do too much dabbling in science, since, well after getting kicked out of chem class." He grinned and shook his head, "That wasn't too fun though, well the after effect was...."
He lolled his shoulders in a shrug. "Ferrets are cool oets, too. I've only had a cat... well it wasn't my cat per-say. It was Nax's but damnit if it didn't stay over at my place all the time, much like her, but at least she did more than sleep all the time."
He was looking at her curiously watching Allie's moves still taking mental notes, "Remind me not to piss you off." He said after a second before grinning again, "Well, loosing a finger, it'd be more interesting than sitting around and having nothing to do. I mean after all classes don't start till like tomorrow, so we'd have a fun new story to tell our classmates and I'd have something to preoccupy myself with for the rest of the evening."

"Fangs....?" Allie thought it over, tapping her chin with her finger. She smirked up at Azzao, "But...what if they explode?"
"What'd you get kicked out for?" she was curious now, mostly because it was interesting to think he actually might know science.
She looked up at him, raising her brows slightly. "Who's Nax? You're girlfriend?"
"Piss me off? Why's that?" Allie couldn't help but laugh at the statement. She had no clue as to why he'd think she'd hurt someone. "Well...I suppose...but then people might be scared of me if they think I go around blowing off people's digits..."

Azzo shrugged "That's half the battle, if they explode maybe I can get awesome fake teeth! With built in fangs."
He paused and looked at her, "Heh I er... you know how sometimes you blow up too much? They said I was too much of a er... risk. They wanted to keep the property damage low or some s**t like that. Apparently you need to know what your mixing or it'll eat through the beakers and.."He paused for a second closing his eyes before managing a horse, "...half the floor." He never really said he did it, he was trying his best to skirt around the rules.
He coughed, "Enough about that." He managed finally gaining his voice back and wrinkling his nose. "Naxish, she's my assistant from back home. You see before I came here I was more amateur than professional. She enjoy'd mixing music up and somehow we had managed a way to hypnotize through her tracks. Unfortunately the school never accepted her, I guess DJing isn't a gift per-say."
He paused, "Though she's the only assistant that's lasted longer than a year..."
Shaking his head again he laughed, "Because you invent stuff, you could easily event something to burn my skin off if you were mad enough... And don't worry, no one really remembers that type of stuff long. I'm sure there could be worse things than... well losing a finger or two."
