It was the start of a new year, and Felix was slightly apprehensive. Who wouldn't be, while attending a school that is the hunting ground of a serial killer. He'd probably be more terrified if he fit the killer's particular tastes.

Though forced to wear the school uniform, he nevertheless refused to wear shoes, preferring his sandals, and swapped his shirt out with his regular green one. Next to him, Raphael walked alongside, similarly flaunting the dress code, but in his case he replaced the jacket with a labcoat. As they moved along, they fell into their regular conversation.

[color=ed1c24]"So, you are working part time at the local clinic?"[/color] the fox-themed youth asked, shuffling a deck of cards as they walked.

"Yeah," his friend replied, "I figure it'll help out with getting a college scholarship... plus more experience is helpful when you get over your head again."

Felix blushed slightly, almost dropping the cards from his friends admonishment. [color=ed1c24]"Urgh... it's not entirely my fault..."[/color] he replied, [color=ed1c24]"I can't help that trouble likes to follow me like an adorable puppy."[/color]

"As loathe as I am to say this, mostly because that was a horrible metaphor, but kick the bloody puppy. Especially with all these serial killers hanging around."

Finally gathering his cards, Felix took an affronted tone. [color=ed1c24]"You're telling me to kick puppies? How could you, you horrible person."[/color]

Those casually walking to school could see the hilarious sight of a teen in a lab coat trying to brain his vulpine friend with his bag, as they ran towards school. It was nice for them to have a bit of levity in this dark time.
