James followed the others into the auditorium, feeling happy to linger at the back of the group. The others had barely seemed to have noticed him, although he had to admit that part of that was likely down to the brief argument between robot boy and the fire guy - Adam and... Kael, wasn't it? - having distracted the group before he could make his own introduction.

Kael's attitude was the sort of thing he had expected to encounter when coming to the school; he was, after all, well acquainted with tales of the infamous exploits of those with evil alignment, but that did not stop it being disheartening. Such relish in destruction for destruction's own sake, purposeless, and only to further to non-cause of destruction and chaos. Did he not see that the use of one's strength for firm purpose - to pursue betterment and empower others to do the same - was a path more worthy power?

He thought about how the girl, Mei, had also opposed the sentiment so firmly, and found himself agreeing wholeheartedly. Perhaps they had more in common than might first appear. He had never visited the spirit realm, nor had he heard tell of it's inhabitants from any source other than the occasional confused anecdote from Xe'fre, but perhaps the Light of which she was a guardian reflected the same Light that lead the righteous into battle - the light which he himself both followed and imbued?

A lifetime of enforced anonymity had trained James in the art of remaining unseen and unnoticed, but, considering he was finally among his true peers, he was doing a little too well for his own liking. He should be getting to know the beings that he might one day reign alongside. The thought still seemed surreal, but then so had most things since he had left his home on Earth. Walking over to Mei, he introduced himself. "Hello, I'm James Ordeith," he said, holding out a hand, the light coming in through the window bringing his tattooed palm into sharp focus. He cast a glance at Kael. "Some of these... people certainly seem to have a taste for the overdramatic... and the needlessly destructive, wouldn't you say?"
