I was glad to help! That'll teach that pervert to respect the ladies! Pleased to make your aqq- accui?"[/b][/color] Al begun to speak to the slightly older boy, but he was stopped by not finding the right word. So much for trying to sound elegant. [color=8882be][b]"I mean, pleased to meet you! My name is Alrune Ihadugram Al-Zardun Dimekshia nu Karzanoon. But you can just call me Al."[/b][/color] [/quote] [i]Alrune's rather tongue-twisting while presenting himself made Lambda giggle a little bit. Still, he felt relieved that the situation had returned to some degree of control.[/i] [color=fff79a]"Well, I'm pleased to meet you as well Al. And you don't need to be formal around me, so don't worry about honorifics and all that."[/color] [i]Lambda answered.[/i] [quote=@Dezuel] [color=8882be][b]"I.. uhm... I am not part of any school yet. But I do intend to join Mephisto's School for the Wickedly Inclined. Because it's wicked! And I am totally inclined to believe it! Cool names like that are.. uh.. cool? Besides alot of people I meet speak fondly of it."[/b][/color] Al beamed a broad smile and then began to ponder on just what people had said about it. [/quote] [i]Then he pondered about Mephisto, which was Alrune's choice to join a school. He remembers hearing something about it from his dad, but whatever information he has is immensely vague. It didn't help that no one actually knows where the school is right now, since they keep changing from one spot to another.[/i] [color=fff79a]"I... can't say that I agree nor disagree with that statement as I don't have any information on Mephisto, to begin with. In fact, no one actually knows where the school is located right now."[/color] [i]He said.[/i] [i]Still, seeing the boy beam brightly at the idea of being at Mephisto was certainly something nice after all that confusion earlier, so he decided to not throw a wet towel over Alrune's wishes and decided to encourage him.[/i] [color=fff79a]"For someone as cool as yourself, I'd say it is a perfect fit! And despite the fact that I don't know much about it, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the school or its method of education if people speak fondly about it."[/color] [i]Then he paused, and continued with a smile.[/i] [color=fff79a]"I'll be rooting for your dream of becoming a Mephisto to become a reality Al. You can do it, I'm sure!"[/color] [i]He finished.[/i] [quote=@Dezuel] [color=8882be][b]"If you want something you can just take it!"[/b][/color] Al said in a mimicked voice of an older student. [color=8882be][b]"That sort of thing. I mean who doesn't like free stuff? Imagine the parties with all the free-food samples! Does St Laurel's have some benefits?"[/b][/color] He asked Lambda in a ponderous manner, his chin neatly cupped by his own hand. [/quote] [i]Lambda tried to think about any benefits that St. Laurel's could offer to any new student. However, considering how most battle-centric Rhea's schools tend to work, he could only think about something for people who aren't interested in battling other people.[/i] [color=fff79a]"I mean, it might not be interesting to you but St. Laurel's offers some other types of education outside of combat. If you do wish to pursue something else than just fighting, I guess that is a difference. For example, I'm studying administration to take over my father's work, though I'm still on the basics. Oh, I also try my hands at gardening and botanics. I love flowers so I take care of the school's botanical garden myself."[/color] [i]Lambda explained.[/i] [i]Then, he thought about the parties. Lambda only ever frequented the official ones made by the school, never joining the extra-official ones made by the students.[/i] [color=fff79a]"Well, in that party retrospect, I can't say much either. I've only frequented the ones the school makes. They are... fancy, for the most part. But I know the students do some parties on their own, but I never went into one."[/color] [i]Lambda answered.[/i] [i]While talking to Alrune, Lambda kept the Maybell active. He wanted to make sure that when Kurogane returned, he wouldn't go getting angry again and try to harm someone.[/i] [color=fff79a](I just have to hold the flower a little longer, until I'm out of here with Kuro. I have to prevent any further trouble for the staff. They dealt with enough today, so they deserve a break and a bonus. I'll talk with Papa later so we can see how to help with the damages caused.)[/color] [i]Lambda thought.[/i] [b][i]*BGM fades*[/i][/b] [i]Speaking of Kurogane, he returned to the second floor and picked up his' and Lambda's stuff. Before getting back down, however, he pondered about why he got so calm when he was so angry before.[/i] [color=bc8dbf](I wanted to kill that kid. I still ain't acceptin' him callin' me a mutt and treatin' me like some caged pet. No one gets to treat me like that anymore, not ever since I ran away from the circus. But why... why didn't I do it?)[/color] [i]He thought.[/i] [i]Then, he remembered Lambda using a power and some flower appearing on his hand.[/i] [color=bc8dbf](Was it because of that flower? Is that Lamb's power? To make people calmer or whatever?)[/color] [i]He asked himself once again.[/i] [i]He needed to know more about it. Not only about the powers, but about Lambda himself. Kurogane was really curious about his new friend who, for all intended purposes, was from St. Laurel's.[/i] [color=bc8dbf]"Well, if I'm gonna discover what Little White Saint's power's all about, I'm gonna have to get some closure. Then I'll get what's behind that stupid martyr head of his. Kid's too innocent for his own good, and that's bad for him and for everyone else too."[/color] [i]Kurogane spoke to himself.[/i] [i]Then, he went downstairs back to the group. He wasn't thrilled to stay near Alrune, but he wasn't feeling violent.[/i] [/hider] [hr] [center][h3][color=8882be]Zephyr Regrard[/color][/h3][/center] [i]Location:[/i] Sir Clausewitz's School for the Militarily Minded, Faculty Office [i]Interactions:[/i] Melissa (NPC) > Wolfram ([@KillamriX88]) [hider=The Council Venting with Her Words] [quote=@KillamriX88] [color=778899]"It's fine..."[/color] Wolf replied to Melissa, quite used to screaming and shouting -- especially from a woman. He considered asking how he could help, but she seemed to have that part under control at least. He recognized her, though only vaguely. He knew she was on the student council, specifically part of the disciplinary committee. [/quote] [i]Melissa got immensely embarrassed by this blunder. She completely lost her poise as a student council member, especially the one who leads the Student Disciplinary Committee.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"... No, it's not. I'm the one who leads the Student Disciplinary Committee, I can't lose my temper and show something so brute. I'll do better next time."[/color] [i]She spoke.[/i] [i]Then, with a heavy sigh, she slapped her face three times and regained some composure. Not all of it, but some.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"I'm sure you know me, but I'll present myself. Melissa Margrave, 3rd year. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Melusina."[/color] [i]She said and went on.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"And don't be shocked, I'm obligated to know every single student and have access to the files, so I know you already."[/color] [quote=@KillamriX88] [color=778899]"Not your first time dealing with him I imagine."[/color] Wolf said to Melissa. [color=778899]"He's pretty much infamous for this, yet nothing seems to change. I get why you'd be frustrated."[/color] [/quote] [i]Hearing him say that made her look at the executioner's body. He was still breathing, but it had more pauses than before.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"We... I lost count of how much I dealt with Zephyr. And the reason why nothing changes is that we can't expel him. His parents are basically loading this school with money, just so that he can never leave. It's basically a paid prison, with the exception that the inmate makes all staff look like trash, in more ways than one."[/color] [i]Melissa explained.[/i] [i]Then, she looked at Wolfram and continued on.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"To Zephyr, all of us... ALL of us are just that. Disposable bodies that he'll keep wasting. And that's just because he wants something... someone [i]interesting[/i]. But he wasn't like this in the beginning. We are... [i]friends[/i] ever since the first year. But now..."[/color] [i]She continued, getting angry.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"Now I don't know what the actual fuck he wants. I simply don't have a clue! No matter what we throw at him, nothing clicks! NOTHING!! We're trying our best, our damn hardest to not let the director or even someone above him get here and deal with this, or the whole council's done for! But at this rate, I don't know what to do!! And everyone just gives it up and lets it all upon me... I'm so sick of it!! It doesn't matter if we were friends at some point, I want this all to end already!! My last year's a fucking nightmare because of that bastard and I don't know how to make him quit!! Goddamned self-absorbed, egoist, violent and cold prick...!!"[/color] [i]But before she continued, she noticed that she lost her composure again and just vented on to Wolfram.[/i] [color=ed1c24]"Argh, I lost it again... sorry, I'm just... I'm just tired of it, I want an answer already..."[/color] [i]She said.[/i] [/hider]
