[color=red][i]'Home at last!'[/i][/color] The thought stuck at the front of his mind as the shapeshifter carefully manoeuvred his bike through the front gates, hoping the loud purr of the engine didn't disturb anyone nearby. Despite the flurry of energy that whirled through him Crash slowly drove his bike over to one of the corners of the courtyard, impatient or not he didn't want to scratch the [url=http://moto.zombdrive.com/images/ducati-multistrada-1200-2014-4.jpg] beauty[/url] beneath him. She had tirelessly carried him and what little possessions he had for miles, she had more than earnt his utmost respect. Coming to a halt the shapeshifter dropped the kick stand before reaching up to turn the engine off. [color=red][i]'Wow, they spare no expense...this place looks...'[/i][/color] He thought to himself, calmly removing his [url=http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/m/meHfDI7mOige_oywk11rLbg/s-l225.jpg] gloves[/url] before reaching up to take his [url=http://images.myleather.com/images/product/large/AP-94-Black-Red-profile.jpg]helmet[/url] off. Despite appearing perfectly calm, he literally felt like he was about to explode...it was taking every inch of his willpower to keep from running around like a looney tune and whooping at the top of his voice. He stiffly dismounted his bike, rested the helmet on the back seat, unzipped his [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d5/94/23/d59423717ea1ca59b4bce87df32300c1.jpg] jacket[/url] and grabbed the key...very calmly. [color=red][i]'Alright, you're a mature guy now, cool as a cucumber...not that anyone says that anymore, or do they? How would I know?'[/i][/color] his thoughts continued on with their confusing tangent as he carefully adjusted the patch over his eye and made his way up the steps and into the hallways of Athalia Academy. As soon as he was inside the walls of the academy the 23-year-old pretty much lost it, one minute he was stood there in his human form looking all 'normal' and in the next he practically exploded in a puff of purple smoke. Leaving an adolescent red and cream German Shepherd in his wake, that in turn shook out its coat before tearing off down the hallways at a rate of knots, excitedly bouncing from one side of the hallway to the next like a furry pinball. [color=red][i]'THIS IS AWESOME!'[/i][/color] The shapeshifter ran from one person to the next, excitedly greeting them and utterly confusing them in the process. Which was fine until he accidentally alarmed someone who was afraid of dogs and got himself blasted out of the window... Once he'd bounced to a halt he put a paw to his head and shifted back into his human form. [color=red]"Ouch...I'm going to feel that in the morning..."[/color] He mumbled to himself, getting up and dusting himself down as he looked around [color=red][i]'So worth it though'[/i][/color] he thought to himself with a grin. After a moment of looking he caught sight of a familiar [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3366481]woman with pink hair[/url] and felt a smile work its way back onto his face, pulling himself back under control Crash calmly walked over to the stand beside her, trying not to focus on the fact she was wearing a lab coat... [color=red]"Hey Lily"[/color] He greeted her, tucking the tips of his fingers into his pockets and throwing her his trade mark smile [color=red]"Cloud watching?...Or has it just been [i]that[/i] sort of morning?"[/color] He asked having caught the wistful look on her face...he also hoped the angel would recognise him, otherwise he predicted unbearable awkwardness... [hr] [center][img] http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b503/sleepingtusk/cooltext120130320062345_zpszewpgnd8.png [/img][/center] Rain wasn't entirely sure what to make of the Academy, she'd been carefully scouting out the halls for some time now in search of the orientation but had yet to find it. Instead she was leant against one of the academy's smooth walls, haplessly watching the people around her trying to decide whether she should ask any of them for directions. During this time she'd witnessed a man being flattened by a woman with snakes for hair, an attractive blonde shouting out of her door to them in what she deemed a friendly way and a man nervously making his way through the corridors with a tiny girl on his shoulder. [color=lightseagreen][i]'I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before'[/i][/color] She thought to herself, carefully watching the situation unfold from a distance. Although she was fascinated by the entire exchange, she had no intention of becoming a part of it...she did feel a little sorry for the snake haired woman, she looked particularly flustered by the chain of events. [color=lightseagreen][i]'That guy with the sunglasses looks like he'd steal somebody's lunch money...'[/i][/color] She thought looking over the sunglass wearing otaku once more before she pushed away from the wall. With a flick of her hand she pushed a section of her hair over her shoulder and started walking away from the commotion, glancing left and right as people bustled by. [color=lightseagreen][i]'How do they look so busy when they're not doing anything?'[/i][/color] She wondered to herself. She was so busy stewing over her own thoughts she didn't realise she had wandered into the path of another girl with [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3377852] dark hair and blue eyes[/url].
