'Was it something I said? Seth asked himself, seeing Azalea start to shy away from both of them. He frowned to himself as he directed his gaze over to Vincent.
"Vince." Seth seriously racked his brains in an attempt to come up with a response. "I...I believe...in finding love and being ridiculously dopey and sweet to a girl. But it's not only that...There's something else to it, but I can't get a full grasp on what it is yet."
Something else... Was there an interaction between the two that he had missed? Seth thought back to their encounter in the hallway. You couldn't get broken emotions in an instant like that, there had to be some sort of build up. Especially, their foxy friend, who had dived down into his own fox hole on a whim, whilst depressed and sobbing, and Azalea who seemed almost defensive at the moment.
'There must be more...I have to find out somehow...' Who would he talk to though? Vince or Azalea?
...Or perhaps both?
" I'm a little limited in my knowledge when it comes to relationships, because I've never had the chance to experience a very meaningful and deep relationship of my own yet. Any girls I've ever met, I've always been associated as a 'friend' and nothing more, I've never taken one out on a date ever. That's why I said I couldn't guarantee anything, because I've never had the experience. I'm just going off of my intuition here and what I see at point blank range. I guess I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic now that I think about it."
Seth softened his voice, "I'm not saying it's impossible Vince, but it's going to take a lot of effort, patience, and a lot of adjustment. You also have to be considerate to her feelings and how she views you. If you want the best results possible, you have to be realistic about this. You're asking her to become YOURS ONLY, that's not something most girls would do for a stranger on the spot." He placed a hand on Vince's shoulder, "There's a difference between those who like each other and those who love one another, Vince, and a one sided love versus mutual love. In the end...if you ever feel like giving up or if she doesn't return those feelings, just let me know. As much as you'd like to think, she's not the only one out there..." Seth took his hand off of Vincent's shoulder and turned towards the glyph, briefly glancing at Azalea.
"...unless you think she's worth all of your effort."
Honestly, when it came down to it, he only wanted what was best for the two of them...
"Anywho, would you mind opening the gate, Vince?" he asked.

"Huh and he can create food as well?" Seth muttered to himself as he looked at his hands. Just how much power did Vince contain within himself?
Speaking of powers...
...He glanced at Azalea, wondering what she was really capable of underneath that fragile nature she displayed. She hadn't exactly showcased her powers just yet, but he got the feeling that she was a lot stronger than she had let on. Earlier in the hallway, she quickly transitioned from being a victim into wanting to tackle the problem, by herself of all things! She was also quick to trust people it seemed, as Seth had witnessed on himself and on Vincent just now. He promised himself he wouldn't try and abuse that trust.
"You're pretty willing to forgive him, Lea..." Seth noted and spoke to Azalea, "Maybe it's the fact that he really meant no harm in the end and was just trying to find a way to express his emotions, just not in the correct way. If I were presented with a situation like that, I would've beat the crap out of Vince with every fiber of my being and dish out a full course menu of suffering if I had the capabilities to do so." He shook his head, "I don't know...do you think if you would've gone alone, would this have ended up a different way?" Seth was just rambling and voicing his thoughts out loud to pass the time until Vincent was done with his sorcery. "Would you have had the power to steer the outcome in your favor?"
"Well regardless...it's a good thing we didn't end up fighting him. I'm not much of a fighter myself, sure I could throw a few punches and protect myself, but I don't posses any offensive powers. I heal people." Seth lifted his fingers and green orbs shimmered around his hands and then faded away. "I don't think I would've been much use if things came down to a battle. I mean what would I do? Heal him into submission?" He joked.
Pip, the overly dramatic waiter
*POP!*
Our wonderful waiter was back, with a cheesy grin on his face and a rather large plate in his hands.
"Hahahaha! A lot of business here I see! Now then..." He turned his gaze onto Izo, "...a medium steak for the frosty looking young man as requested!" He chimed as he set a plate with a still hot and sizzling steak on it. The man placed a steak knife and a fork next to the plate, a smaller plate of sauteed mushrooms and onions and a glass of water soon followed. But the waiter wasn't done....
"Might I recommend trying a glass of chilled oolong tea with your steak? I find that the earthly and bitter quality of oolong tea goes well with meals such as this and it helps with digestion" He also set a glass of brown oolong tea next to his water.
"Now, giving a shady looking man such as yourself a steak knife might not be the best idea in my humble opinion. But please try not to carve drawings into the table, they do cost a fortune." He bowed and smiled. "Enjoy."
*pop!*

Hehe we got some good stuff planned *chuckle evily* Haha I love the pic of the headmaster it so funny
*Laughs madly as lightning flashes during the night*
No worries sir Owl. Stuff happens :)
Updated Character Listing to add James Hunter (arowne97), increasing our player character count to 11.
BTW, if anyone feels like it, they can go ahead and claim a few Staff NPC slots (School Nurse, School Secretary, teachers, waiter/waitresses, janitors, and aides). The school nurse and secretary characters have already been created (Ms. Rina and Ms Haswell respectively), so you'll see them in the directory. All others are left to the player's imagination and are free to create. If you do choose to create a Staff Character, please post their info in this thread with the following format.

The Headmaster and Dean are plot essential and are reserved for myself and Winter to execute our agendas and give meaning to these factions we seem to be creating. ^^

Yeah lol, i meant to post earlier but then I ended up dozing off for the next few hours xD
Seth stood beside the two, spreading his hands out in front of him. "And now with the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you..."
He paused for dramatic effect.
"...friends!"
He chuckled as he put his hands back down to his sides and his stomach growled for the second time that day, reminding him that the last meal he ate was right before he had got on the bus...and that was a while ago! He remembered that lunch was going on in the dining hall and that the staff were going to address the students there.
"Vince, could you open a tunnel back into the school, maybe into the dining hall? I'm uh, quite famished and I hadn't had anything to eat for a while now. We can probably bond better over a plate of pasta and pepperoni pizza." His mouth was now watering at the prospect.
His eyes wandered to Azalea's knee where he had caught a small discoloration forming when they had first arrived in the dimension. He could take care of that when they were seated, he'd just have to sit next to her. Seth quickly snapped his eyes away so he wouldn't be mistakenly labeled as some sort of perverted freak who had a fetish for bruised knees.

Hahaha anyone else think that sudden hug was actually kinda heartwarming? :P
Uhhh, I mean...Bacon! >.>

"You... you'll be my friend?" Vince starts. "I know I need to be with people to become friends, and the same for romance, but how can I become friends her... Look I was flustered by her appearance, which is so... and I was impulsive. Why should that define our relationship to such a degree? I can get that she doesn't want me, what mortal would... Although you'd be surprised the demigoddesses that want to get in my pants, but in any case... FINE! so I cant have her romantically, but I still want... something... Alright, sorry I didn't mean to drift off on my 'crush'. I'll gladly be your friend, I... I am glad to have one." Vince suddenly gets up and hugs Seth.
After a second he realities how uncomfortable this seems and jumps back. "s-s-sory, I suppose I have allot to learn... Bu first My first question is if you have any Ideas on how I might... I might be able to at least be friends with Azalea?"
"Yeah, no problem, my name's Seth--" Seth was surprised by the sudden hug, but he got over his initial shock and grinned, patting Vince on the back before they broke apart. "Well, buddy, I can't really guarantee anything because that's her decision, but I'll help out as much as I can." He said this as he looked at Azalea, thinking of how he should approach her.
"Whenever I talk to people, I try and make joke and get them to smile. If they see that you have a great personality and if you can get them to relax, then it makes the atmosphere a bit more friendly and it makes having conversations easier. For now, you should apologize for causing her trouble and embarrassment and then reintroduce yourself in a proper manner, tell her your name and just give her a handshake. Don't try to press anything, because I honestly don't know how she'll react. Just wait here for a second and let me talk to her so she won't hit you in the face or anything." Seth walked over to Azalea and smiled at her.
"Azalea, was it? The name suits you very well, but I'd rather call you Lea instead if you don't mind...I'm Seth and I'm sorry if I caused any trouble for you." He gestured towards Vince, "Now, Lea, my friend would like to say a couple things to you if you'd let him."
Hopefully it would all go as he hoped, with at least a good ending from this situation for both of them. Seth wasn't sure what he'd do if Azalea refused to forgive him and that was her right to do so, but he knew he would be there for Vince.
"I'll be right here in case anything happens again." He muttered the last sentence to her. "But I think I trust him, he seems like a good guy and he's still learning to socialize with others."
You could practically feel the emotion emanating from the boy on the throne.'He just wants to be friends...' Seth thought as he turned his gaze to the girl beside him. 'But she has a point though...How could this be love? He's very attached to the girl...but she can't possible reciprocate those feelings back to him, she's not willing.'
This can't be right...He couldn't take seeing him so crushed under his own emotions,
Seth taking a breath, he walked forward and approached the foxy boy, "Hey, you can't make friends by asking them outright like this. A friend is not an object you can force into your possession. They have to be willing to be around with you and joke around, laugh, play around, and share experiences with you - they're special people!" His voice slightly rose in intensity near the end as he grew passionate about the subject.
He calmed himself and extended a hand to Vincent. "But I want to help you out. I'll be your friend. You say you've never really talked to mortals, yet this school is full of them. I can teach you..."
