Julia raised an eyebrow at Hela talked to her like a small child when Hela described...Gogogornomadgetscommunist?...whatever's the title, she's genuinely curious about it and she didn't really like it when Hela talked down to her like that but as she opened the mouth to say that she's a kid, she realized that, yeah, even now she's being a cowardly child hiding behind her roommate who she speculated to be older or even with with her age. She could have been more..adult about it while her sister's gone out there picking random fights. Now's probably not the time to speak up and say to stop treating her like a kid when she treated herself like a kid.

So she piped down, she didn't really think over Hela's obviously sarcastic answer about some lawyers and shits and only answer the second half of Hela's statement, which instead met with a raised eyebrow "Sleeping in the same room with a sibling? Wouldn't that be awkward? No! I rather not, as much as I love my sis, I rather have some privacy from her, and vice versa. I'm sure you understand, right?"


That flashback had razed by her mind as she slowly walks around looking for an empty spot and a friendly face. She's not really sure if she wants to meet up with Hela or nah with how she acted but it might be interesting, or with Adrienne, she hadn't really know her that much yet...

"W-Wait wait wait!" Straza grabbed Cody and pulled him close, smushing her chest up against his arm and pushing her magical attraction out at him in waves through her eye contact and breathe. The only way he'd be able to resist now is through some kind of extreme resilience and magical experience. "I'm not gonna drain you, seriously, I promise. I only have to do that like, once a week, and uh...It's already cleared with the school, you know? I have written permission to spend one night a week in the boy's dorm."

Straza smiled at him, then started to walk on with the boys. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I still plan on fucking all of you guys, at least once. But I probably won't steal any of your lifeforce."

"Yes, but 'doggiehead' is much more annoying" Marianne said cheerfully "and I don't suggest trying to bite off any parts of me because you'd probably just break your teeth." As she said this a hard flinty substance grew over her body demonstrating what she meant. "By the way, she continued in the same cheerful tone, "have you ever heard about some lizard looking guy called 'The Custodian" or about a door leading to a pool of blood?"

Arlen

As usual, Arlen sat in the cafeteria mostly by himself, though he wondered where his new room mate would be seated. He still had no idea, though there were some awkward questions forming in his head.

This time he wore a white long sleeve shirt, black long shorts and boots, by and large deciding to try to not make as much a show today.

He ate some rather basic food, toying with the fork with his new fingers and wondering briefly what sort of mishap would happen today.

He restrained himself from shouting for the guy up there on the ceiling, noting the different tie colors. Custodian and Janitor, I guess...


Antoin Reyva

Antoin however seemed to be sitting with a large number of friends, though given what he was, even he questioned the validity of these relations. Just a glance would not be able to let one easily tell what gender Antoin was - with his black long sleeved shirt with numerous rectangular openings along the arms, tight pants and tricked out shoes, he could plausibly be male or female.

The androgynous facial features did not help matters at all, nor did his somewhat wavy hair.

It looked like the rumours he had heard down the grape vine were all true - Westlau loses some fingers, people start forming into their own little groups, activities ongoing...he hoped that he could find out some of what brought about all of this.

He was less interested in keys and pools than he was in motives and ideals. What, exactly, would make the man who made those statues attack do what he did? And would he do it again?

You could say Antoin had a fixation on such ideas of evil. They were...dangerous. And he very much enjoyed danger.

As he was boredly looking around, Dian noticed Antoin.

Ooh, there's a cute one.. Something about him seems a bit off, though...

He quickly returns to looking around the room and eating Skittles.

Then

"Uh-huh. Well, uh," Hadar stuck his free hand into his pocket, pressing the mute button on his phone to make a (somehow still rather loud) buzzing noise. "Oh, hey, one sec," he said, pulling out his phone and furrowing his brows at an imaginary text message. "Ah, I forgot something in the car. See you later, then." He started walking away as quickly as would seem reasonable, en route to any teacher-type person who looked sympathetic.

Now

Adrienne smiled as she examined the school's food supplies. Ah, that was some delicious-smelling pizza, and there was some soup that looked divine. Choices, choices.

Then

Arlen waved at him, and let him go. He briefly wondered what he forgot in the car, thinking about how he and his room mate might divvy up some of the food he had.

I hope he likes pizza.


Antoin Reyva

The odd young man waved at Dian, smiling quite brightly, and immediately it became appealing to sit down and befriend Antoin. He had a lot of friends already it seemed, so why not?

In truth it was Antoin lightly exercising his ability.

Henderson sits with few friends, Arlen sits alone, Matthew is the big man on campus...heh.

"Come now, friend, there's room for another here. I'm Antoin Reyva, a pleasure to meet you."

Dian wasn't much one for crowds. Too many people around just bothered him. Couldn't hurt to say hi though...

Something is bothering me about him.. Can't place my finger on it though...

Against his better judgement, he said goodbye to Nick and walked over to Antoin. He left his tray at the other table, though, which could be seen as odd.

"Mmmhmm.."

Yeah, friend. Sure.

Cafeteria

Octa stared at the goopy spiced apples on the lunch line for a moment before dumping another scoop on her tray, next to the chicken strips. They were orange and suspiciously crumbly, but Octa would eat fried chicken run over by construction machinery on muddy ground.

She floated over to Victoria and sat down across from her. Superfly settled to Octa's right, head twitching but otherwise perfectly still.

"Hiya. Mind if I sit?"

Antoin Reyva

Barely batting an eye at that, Antoin smiled and motioned once, the conversations carrying on around him quieting down somewhat.

"A good name. So tell me, Dian, what do you make of recent events here? I mean, we have suddenly homicidal stone statues, rumours of people getting attacked with no punishment for the attackers...let alone the fact the Principal is apparently still missing..."

Reyva looked over at Kleiss briefly, and then at some other figures in the lunch area.


Arlen Westlau

Usually Arlen ate alone, but oddly it seemed some students were eating with him today, some of them even talking about how they'd heard rumours about the attack on him.

All of those talking to him were humans.

Nobody it seemed could decide who did the attack, but a surprising number of human students it seemed were tired of chaos and the more wild monster students doing seemingly as they pleased.

For once Arlen smiled as he ate. Maybe he could form a new gang here. Make some friends. Get revenge.

"... I find it rather irresponsible of the school to have such dangerous security measures be so easily hacked by an outside mage. Unless the hacker was exceptionally talented. Then kudos to them."

He lets out a dry laugh that could be better described as a bark.

"... Except when it endangers innocent people, me especially. Then I might go out, find them, and break their legs. That was an exceptionally stupid idea."

The Halls

"I don't even know if I have any..." Al said, as he shifted into a facetious Eeyore tone and dramatic moroseness. "Just a hunk of clay, born to serve, ohhhhh, poor meee." He shifted back into a smile. "Actually though, pretty sure this," He tapped his forehead's runes, "proves that I'm alive, and unlike everyone else you can't shave years or vitality off a tireless immortal."

In another part of the building, Hela grunted in response to Marianne. "Yes, but don't let on to anyone. This is our thing, I hope you understand." She swept her arm in a general arc to the folks assembled there... which she supposed did have some semblance of a pack. But only the weirdos called their friend groups a pack anymore. The losers on dA who thought Hyenas and Wolves were synonymous.

"So we're going to figure this shit out on our own." She stated. "We can head into the library and look for the older books, the school records. One way I saw in this one movie was that you would take a modern floor-plan of the place and compare it with an older one to find inconsistencies." Hela waved her hands vaguely. "Things like hidden doors, halls that had been boarded up, stuff like that. But I'm sure you guys also have other ideas, too, so please, let's open this up and get ideas going on how we're going to find where our 'nonexistent' key goes."


Cafeteria

Against his better judgment, but now equipped with a camera in his palm, Al had come to the Cafeteria. Some activity from recently had equipped him with some new repairs; his hands and feet were now a darker red, replaced after excessive wear and tear. He was also equipped with something else: complaints from a fellow member of the Jewish community, an Estrie named Hadar. Good to know his people were being represented, and had the courage to help Al do his job.

He sat down in front of Arlen, palms down on the table. He switched the camera on, into video. It would capture sound from this position, albeit without any footage to it. "Hello. You're Arlen Westlau, right? I heard some stuff about your politics from a guy I know, an Estrie by the name of Hadar. Could I talk to you about it? I, uh, don't really have anyone else to talk to about this stuff."

Meanwhile, Hela sidled down the food line, next to Adrienne. She sighed. "I don't think they're gonna go for the room change. Which is fine, honestly, I probably should put forth the effort to patch things up with Felicidad. Guess we can look over those maps again and find some servant quarters, make do there, huh?" She squeaked out a laugh, then tilted her head back and unleashed some melodramatic sax music from her throat as she grabbed a raw chicken.

Isra sat down in a shadowed corner of the cafeteria with a plate full of junk food. She didn't, technically speaking, need to eat, but it certainly was fun.

Hadar kept an eye on Al as he saw the golem ambush Arlen as he glanced around for a table. The school was rather well-appointed, even including a neatly-designed packet of blood that wouldn't tear easily and would, hopefully, not freak out anyone else sitting nearby.

Adrienne nodded at Hela. "Yeah, she doesn't seem like a bad person, all things considered." She grinned at Hela's saxophone impression. "I'm sure that those'll be entirely suitable for our... purposes." She glanced down at her wrist to make sure that her long sweater sleeve was still covering her hand up to the knuckles. She'd attached the key to her bracelet, and had been practicing making it invisible, but it was still better to have multiple plans there.

Well, that was rather awkward, Julia just realized that she had just did one full lap around the cafeteria to just trying to find a place to sit, now she's back at the serving line. On the bright side, though, she had found her roommate, as well as her buddy.

Julia smiled, approached them and would have waved like an idiot to them if it weren't for the metaphorical 45 lb plate on her tray and said "Hey, do you mind if sit with you guys?" Then she leaned forward to Hela and asked at a lower volume "And...uh...how's it going with my sis?"

Antoin Reyva

"Personally I enjoyed the sense of danger. Though I can see what you mean. Perhaps the school is having some element of trouble keeping order."

Antoin considered what was going on in the cafeteria now. Hopefully it would give him another fix of the danger that this school was, in his mind, becoming known for.

"Who do you think did it? I mean, we have someone here who deals in Magitech, perhaps he had some...business."


Arlen did not know what an Estrie was, half of him thinking it was some sort of strange Jewish slang and the other half thinking it was a Tumblr Word. He leaned back and stated, "Estrie? I don't know what that is, but I have no business talking to you. Get lost."

Hadar? Wait...roomie? Nah, I heard about this guy...

He knew a golem when he saw one. In his dark mind, he could almost pity the creatures - they were created, not born, and he rationalized it as that they were made a certain way and to benefit their masters.

Cafeteria

Dr. Kleiss followed Matt's gaze. He didn't seem at all surprised by the man on the ceiling.

"Him? That's the Janitor." Dr. Kleiss said. "He's been here since before I was hired. Hell, he was here when I was a student. He keeps things clean, and he hasn't ever hurt anyone, so we keep him around."

"Nice to meet you, Da...Gan..." He stopped for a moment when the crampus offered him his hand. Was...Was that okay? Leo was religious. So he was well aware of the significance of horny men offering handshakes. But then, that was a bit racist, now that he thought of it. But on the other other hand, did he really want to risk it? As the warning bell rang, Leo folded his hand into a fist, and awkwardly fistbumped Dagan's handshake.

"I'm Leo." Leo said. "I need to head to class, but it was nice seeing you." On his way out, he saw a bizarre site: A robot seemed to be interviewing Arlen. Was this a reality TV show?


Laboratory

As the warning bell rang, signifying that class would begin in five minutes, Strake unlocked the door to the lab. The Magical Theory teacher had given a public apology for his failure as head of security, and announced that he would be resigning from that position. Even after, he'd had difficulty looking at his students. He felt very guilty about the whole thing. Still, he was hoping that this lesson would maybe help him feel better. They were working in the school's Magic Lab for the first time this year. The room was a large room, with several books dominating one side, and many desks with lab equipment on the other. A pair of metal doors led into a freezer, and another one led into a supply closet. Today they would be creating life.


Combat

Meanwhile, in the gym, Ms. Pierce had set up several rings for fighting. A chalkboard had a list of names. She'd spent most of the week teaching students the basics, or filling in any gaps the more experienced ones had. Today would be their first tournament. The students would pit themselves against each other so that Ms. Pierce could evaluate everyone's fighting styles. The winner would get a bag of Fun Size Snickers and a Get Out of Jail Free card that she had taken from a monopoly box.

((So! Classes! As I said in the discussion thread, you can pick one. The Magical Theory class will have Mr. Strake teaching Mages how to make magical minions. Combat will be a tournament. And History Class, which is being run by @Saturn, will have a tour of the town surrounding the school. Note that just because you're not taking a class in this scene doesn't necessarily mean your character can't be taking it offscreen.))

Well, that... was unusual.

Then again, Dagan probably couldn't blame the guy sitting next to him. He's been told he's a little intimidating, but that odd fistbump of a handshake was just weird.

"Er, see you 'round." He waved Leo off with a grimace before glancing over at the clock, then the rest of the people sitting around. His History class wasn't yet up and he has set his things back in his room already.

"So..." He glanced upon the others gathered around. "What's up?" That was a bad start to a conversation, but on the other hand... might work out as well.

Matthew

"Hm. Weird. I saw him just show up right before the statues all went berserk. I'll...think about this. Thanks for telling me, Mr. Kleiss."

With that, Matthew started to head off for class.

The blond teen decided to head to the combat class, making sure anything left of his food was disposed of, and then thinking about what Kleiss said.

He saw some chalk outlines on the ground when he came running into the room, having hurried up to get there on time. He wondered what those might be. Seemed he was one of the first ones there.


Justin Henderson

Of course, Justin showed up in the laboratory, looking rather happy about the fact he would probably be more in his area of experience in here. He looked around and thought for a moment about those people from the cafeteria who he also saw in the office that day.

They're either extremely reckless or they do not fear the consequences of their actions.


Antoin Reyva

Antoin got up, and stated to Dian, "Well, it seems class is to begin. See you later, room mate."

As he left, it seemed his "friends" sitting there almost seemed to look around briefly lost before likewise leaving.

Heading to the history class, Antoin thought about whether they'd be sharing the real history or a doctored version, sanitized for the hearts and minds of kids.

Hela was in the middle of a rather lascivious laugh at Adrienne when Julia showed up, asking to sit with them. Well, she did ask, that was good enough for her. "Yeah." Hela replied. "On both counts. I'm working on it with Felicidad, and please do sit with us." She jabbed a finger up at the custodian on the ceiling. "I also think we oughta confront our Reptilian Overlord directly, now that we got him in sight."

Al held up his left hand, the one without the camera. "No, you misunderstand, man. Hadar is an Estrie, which is just fancy talk for vampire, honestly." He leaned in slightly. "I didn't ask to be made. Just wanted to congratulate you, if what I heard is true. Think I could get some confirmation? Especially about, uh..." He tapped Arlen's prosthetics.

Victoria stood at the side, watching the newer fighters with distaste.

"Sloppy, and that's all I have to say. If I was in that ring with a katana, it'd be over before it began. Hmph.

She kept her arms folded, nearly under her trenchcoat.

"Hope there's some real competition here."

Nicholas was pacing back and forth.

"Oooh...what am I supposed to take? I'm no good at combat, and I'm just not into magical minions...History doesn't sound to good either."

His magic was on the fritz, as the air was already warming up around him, sweat staining his face.

3DF

She woke up. A soft shaft of light had entered the room illuminating the empty bed in the room. Still not here, huh? Alissandra sighed deeply, expelling all the disappointment and sleep that lingered.

Well, no use moping around in here. So standing up from her bed, she quickly dressed herself for the day. Alissandra gave the room a last look before she put on her jacket and left.

With the absence of her roommate, she had been visiting the other rooms in the dorm and Alissandra was already friends with a lot of the girls on the fourth floor. On her way to the stairs, she passed by the one room on that floor that she hadn't visited. Her eyes lingered on the room number as she stopped in front of it. The other girls had said that there was a real bitch living in it. She shrugged and knocked on the door.


1DF

Gertrude had been lying awake for a long time now. It was hard to sleep in such a rundown place like this. Well, by her standards at least. She found it a bit cramped compared with her bedroom's high ceilings and tall windows. Her bed creaked but not her roomamate's and water had been dripping from the ceiling and onto her bed. It was as if the room had a vendetta on her!

She thought of those same thoughts every morning. Gertrude had been trying all week to exchange beds (and not in a nice manner) with Victoria but she was just as stubborn. Arryn was all that kept her sane in this school. He has always been there and always will be.

A knock then came to her door. Gertrude looked up curiously. She waited for a few moments, waiting for the person to enter until another knock came. The door was locked, she forgot. If only she was back in her home, her butler could've opened it for her. Unfortunately, she couldn't stay at home, couldn't bring a servant, and couldn't get a solitary room! She was more than sure that the school was doing it on purpose.

Grumbling at her misfortune, she got off her bed and opened the door to see a new face. The girl looked down at her stupidly with an annoying smile, "I'm Alissandra," she said, "your dormmate. I crash at 3DF." she extended her hand towards Gertrude.

"Do you expect me to touch that?"

The girl nodded vigorously, still keeping that smile on her face.

Gertrude looked at Alissandra, disgusted. Looks like she had to explain to yet another who she was. "You must have no idea what you're suggesting. I'm a Schtillross, highborn. And you?" she trailed the last word, "are someone unfit to be even near me! So unless you want to get expelled, I suggest you stop obstructing my sight."

Alissandra laughed nervously, her eyes darting from side to side. "I ought to be going now."

"Oh, wasn't that obvious by now? You're a little slow in the head, aren't you?"

"See you around," Alissandra murmured.

"I hope not to," Gertrude said and with that the door slammed shut.

Alissandra felt deflated but she still had to attend her combat class. Her belly rumbled and the warning bell rang. She had slept through most of her breakfast and got looked down upon in the remaining time. Hopefully, combat class would prove to be better than the first half of her day.
