As I laid there in the back in the back of the car I began to think of what all may lay ahead for me. So much so that i got too into my head, practically begging for anxiety to come for me, but I knew just the cure for that. With a swish of my wrist i motioned towards the glass nestled in the cup holder, calling forth the water it contained. As i laid there commanding the water to swirl by my ears i felt more relaxed than ever due to the sounds it made, there was nothing more calming than than waters eb and flow. The car came to a halt and i could hear a muffled sound as if being spoken to. Only guess was it was time to make my arrival and see what this school will bring me and as to who i will be partnered with. The view was magnificent, which could only be expected considering who was running it all. My only thought at the moment [color=00aeef][i]"There better be food involved I'm starved"[/i][/color] I make my way past the gates and enter a lovely courtyard only to be abruptly greeted by a stranger bearing a folded piece of parchment. They let me know that when the time is right i may open it and see what is inside, till then it is sealed by magic only one can undo. [color=00aeef]"Thanks pops, would you mind uh pointing me to the food?"[/color] I say as i examine the strange piece in my hand. He gives me a nod towards the Servants carrying trays of drinks and hors d'ouevres. [color=00aeef][i]"Not a full on buffet but i can manage. Can't expect such lavished creatures to bother themselves with an open buffet anyways"[/i][/color] Mission in mind I knew how to stake out the servants and pace out my pickings so as not to seem as if I'm taking too much, I pace myself through out the night drinking, eating and wondering as to what the blood laced champagne would taste like...or if i could have it. Looking around there are few fountains all beautifully decorated and with fine statues as well, so i make my way towards one so that i may be close to my element if need be. Not long after my 20th hors d'oeuvre does the room fall silent as what can only be described as impeccable beauty elegantly makes its way down the floor escorted by a not so elegant man. [color=00aeef][i]"wow not thats what i call an entrance!"[/i][/color] She begins a speech about how she is the founder of the school and how we will all be working together, mage and vampire alike to better our futures. Seems nice even if not a bit crude given social standings but then again she probably doesn't fully grasp what she is asking for either of us. And just like that, as if she were a brilliant flash of light, there one second gone the next. [color=00aeef][i]"Better check out my roomie"[/i][/color] Unfolding the parchment i see a picture of a male, great hair, strong jaw, green eyes, very much a jock type it seemed [color=00aeef]"Michael Sharpe, why not just call yourself Vampire McSharpetooth?"[/color] I chortled to myself. [color=00aeef]"Suppose I should go ahead and find him"[/color] I make my way towards a fountain, making sure to take the path with the most hors d'oeuvres, and sit upon its edge. Almost as if i was summoning, i create a small cat out of water form the fountain then begin tapping my finger against the water so a portion becomes and clear and smooth as glass. [color=00aeef]"You see this man? Go find him and bring him to me"[/color] Surveillance via scrying was a family specialty and the first trick the Belren's learned as water magi; as my cat roamed the crowds looking for the man in the photo I sat by staring at what others would see as a clear pain of water but to me was what my "familiar" saw. [color=00aeef][i]"My this is taking too long...best see how the others are getting along"[/i][/color] with that i summoned another creature though this one was a bird and i asked it to scope out from above and show me how the rest of the guests are fairing at this party with their pair ups. [color=00aeef][i]"Should really ease up on the magic...2 surveillance animals is all i can do right now and its gonna make me hungry again..." [/i][/color] There was then a loud burst of laughter as he was honestly always hungry. [@WeepingLiberty]
