Eris tapped the tip of her mechanical pencil over her notebook in a quasi-rhythmic way while she waited for her order. She was still mulling over her homework, especially the world history part.

Actually, it was not as if Eris didn't understood history, but more like she had a profound dislike of the subject, almost into straight-out loathing. The reason for this was simple and stood everywhere around her the, so called World Interface and the Deep Ground Online 'roleplaying game'. Eris had so much hatred of the concept of having her life be determined by the results of a game held by an amorphous digital entity that she could not even put it on words.

Eris even considered not playing the game at all, but this would solve nothing. The only thing that could come from disregarding the Deep Ground Program was a life condemned to the slums and this, Eris would not accept. However, she still wasn't out to bow before her loathed foe and decided that if there was even a chance of disemboweling the beast from inside out, she would seek, she would take it and... she would succeed.

It does not matter if her selfishness would throw the world into chaos, no... actually it would be for the better. People had grown weak, docile like animals. Nothing but pigs in human clothing, waiting to be culled by the mighty of the World Interface. Struggling for themselves for the first time would be a boon, instead of a curse.

Perhaps, that was the reason why Eclipse Princess was born. She represented all of Eris' ideals, all of her inconformity to the system. Eclipse Princess was nothing but power on its must undiluted form, for Eris she represented that which humans have forgotten long ago. That the law of the nature is for the strong to live and prey on the weak.

Placing all your life on the hands of a machine was...

SNAP!

"Damn!" Eris cursed under her breath when the sound of her mechanical pencil snapping on her grip shook her out of her revelry. How many did she break just this month? Four, five? It does not matter. Whenever Eris allowed herself to get into that train of thought, she was almost certain that whatever was in her grasp would be turned to splinters as the rage inevitably built inside of her until the point where she couldn't hold it any longer.

"Anyway, I have to clean this." Eris said as she got up from her table and went to throw the plastic splinters into the trash bin. It was then that she noticed a redheaded girl, who she faintly recalled from school, standing around without knowing what to do. Frankly, that is exactly the kind of behavior that Eris disliked, but still, she could not let a schoolmate on their own like that. It just did not sit well with Eris' ethos.

Eris walked to the girl and stood within her line of sight before saying, "If you don't mind the company, you can share the table with me." Eris then went back to her table and beckoned the girl to follow her, just before sitting again, Eris extended her hand to the girl and introduced herself.

"Eris Valkeyr." Eris said in a curt manner and then stared at the girl as she waited for a reply.
