Standing in line was probably Eris' least favorite thing to do. It was bad enough having to wait, but the longer he had to stand there doing nothing, the more dread built up in his chest. No phone to distract him, either, he was left alone with his thoughts like some kind of poor person who couldn't afford the internet.

All he could think about was Alderman and how he was probably revving for this stupid exam. As much as he hated to admit it, Count Benson did hit the nail on the head with the kid's temperament. But he wasn't petty enough to flunk an exam just to get back at him, right? And it wasn't like he had done anything bad to him recently. He barely made a comment during feeding anymore. He didn't acknowledge his existence when he stayed up late talking on the phone for hours two nights ago. No reaction was better than any reaction. They wouldn't be holding hands and skipping through a meadow anytime soon, but it wasn't that far-fetched to think that there was some semblance of a neutral relationship between them.

Right?

"I am so fucked," Eris muttered to himself, absolute horror gripping him as he realized it was his turn. The only thing that kept him from turning tail and running in the complete opposite direction was that he'd probably be mocked until the end of time for it. Raising his chin, he stepped forward, burying every single doubt and every single terrible scenario deep, deep down in the depths of his thoughts. "Alrighty, hit me with your best shot," He told the mage cheerfully, ignoring the screaming going on inside his head.

Honestly, the blindness wasn't so bad. The dizziness he could do without, though. He blinked a few times (as if that would help), squinting once, but nope, no sight. "Be a dear and hand me off gently, would you?" He joked, letting himself be led away as he put on a smile.

Eventually, they came to a halt--he assumed that his mage was in front of him. He hadn't dropped the smile for a second, but it was clear he was dead inside. "Here I am, completely at your mercy. Isn't it great?" His voice betrayed him at the last word, though he covered it with a much-too-loud laugh. "Just give it to me straight, on a scale of one to ten, how screwed am I?" He asked, grinning.


Pls be nice @Scribe of Thoth I am fragile flower.



Perking up once she spotted Ben approaching with a mage guiding him, Lilie had to contain her excitement. He didn't look too happy, making her giggle a little, but she made sure to keep quiet once he got closer. He was walking kinda weird, which since they were blinded was understandable, but he was acting like he was avoiding glass or trying not to fall down the stairs or something. He couldn't see anything so it wasn't like she needed to hide her face, but she didn't want him to know she was kinda laughing at him.

Once the guard let him go, she thought it was weird that he nearly knocked off her earmuffs, but apparently he wasn't going to stop there. Her eyes widened as he ran his hand over her face, squeezing her eyes shut as he touched her lips and nose before settling his hand on her head. Oh man, he smudged her lip gloss! And they didn't let her bring it in, how was she supposed to fix it?! But Ben wasn't done being weird--he touched his head to hers, mumbling something about being uncomfortable. He was the one making things uncomfortable!

But it was so silly she couldn't help her laugh, shaking her head. "That was my lip gloss," She told him gently, carefully taking his hand in hers as she tried to wipe away any gloss that wasn't on her lips and smooth out her hair again. "What, did you think they would lead you to someone that wasn't me?"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the second vampire coming--the Marivaldi countess. She watched as she was lead to the spot next to hers, and Lilie felt her jaw drop as the realization hit her: that was Cassie's replacement! What the heck were the odds?! She felt a tiny lump in her throat as she focused on Ben instead, turning fully away from the pair. No, no, no, she needed to focus. Now was not the time to get all emotional and burst into tears or anything stupid like that.

Lilie stole a glance at the pair, looking away quickly as she grabbed Ben's other hand. "W-We should be starting soon..." She mumbled, keeping her eyes firmly on the ground in front of them.


Fixing herself up after getting manhandled by @Bert Macklin.



Lilie practically bounced to her spot with thermos in hand, pausing only to take in another drink. She really did think she would've been nervous, but then again, maybe it was because she started thinking of it as a competition. There was nothing she liked more than competing, too--just something about testing her mettle against others always put her in a good mood. Even if she did poorly, she could always compare notes to her friends and see where she went wrong and improve. Not that she had any intention of losing. Her goal was to finish as quickly as possible, though she would compromise only if she could figure out how to finish with the added ten percent bonus.

As she exhaled, she heard Aaron call out to her, and admittedly Lilie didn't know how to act. Ever since her revelation, she felt like she completely forgot how to be normal, feeling like everything she did and said was silly or too out there. Of course, all she had to do at this moment was just return the greeting, but her brain was having a hard time thinking straight, especially as she was a little distracted by his smile.

"You--uh, you, too!" Her initial squeak was a little too quiet and she corrected himself, making sure he heard her the second time. Argh, what was wrong with her?! She needed to focus! After mentally slapping herself, she cleared her throat and gave him a proper, "I'll see you at the finish line!" before hastily taking in another drink. Great, not even two seconds in and she threw herself out of her groove!

She sighed, looking to the other side to see who she was next to. Lilie thought she had seen the girl before, but she couldn't say she knew who she was, even after peeking down at her name. Madalyn was a pretty name, but she didn't think they had talked before. Where had she seen her? Oh well, she could always ask later. Lilie did make sure to give her a small smile and realized Max wasn't too far down. Huh, what a coincidence, they were basically all together! Not that she would want to run into anyone, but if she had to run into anyone, then running into friends was preferable. Except Max. If their group studies were any indication, she was pretty sure he would just ignore her if they ran into each other.




What a condescending asshole. Eris kept himself from rolling his eyes, a low groan at the back of his throat. Way to run away from the conversation! If Benson over here thought that he was going to get rid of him that easily, than he had another thing coming. The smile on his face stayed rigid as he took a step in front of the count, turning around and making damn sure that he was following him. The conversation would end when he got the last word, not some pompous, low-brow, lanky, limp dicked son of a bitch who couldn't tell the difference between actual quality and the knockoff coat he wore. Eris knew how to be the bigger person, and if Mr. Hoity-Toity thought he got the best of him, then he had another thing coming.

But first to address that bath comment because that was just stupid. "Oh no, dirt in a forest, call the Royal Guard!" He gasped, clutching his chest before dropping his hand and leveling a look on the guy. "Do I look like I normally dress like some boneheaded gym rat? Please, I'm more than prepared for today." Not that he still wasn't worth a small fortune as these 'workout clothes' were still thousands of dollars, but that wasn't the point right now. "And just so you're not nearly as misinformed for next time, Wells isn't going to purposefully fail if only out of spite as a giant fuck you to the institution that expects him to act unprofessionally. He actually likes magic, what with it being the one thing he has some semblance of control over. Do your research before dipping into topics you don't know about, at least that was you don't make a complete ass of yourself."

Now that that was out of the way, Eris continued with, "You know what, though? I can get why you're a little on edge. You've been here, what, two weeks? You'd think people would be buzzing about another Eve joining the ranks, but no one's so much as acknowledged your existence yet, huh?" Eris grimaced, shaking his head. "It's not even about what house you're representing anymore, you're so forgettable that I don't even think people know who you are. Do you need help? 'Cause I can introduce you to some people, make you some friends. Unless you're shy, but then I can just hold your hand in comfort the whole way."

Whatever nerves he had about the stupid practical were gone now, and Eris could honestly say he felt completely at ease. He should probably thank him. Nah, but they really did need to get going. He flashed a smile at Benson, patting his shoulder. "You're going to have to do a lot better than that to ruffle my feathers, Benson," Eris winked, happily walking ahead.


Dealing with Count Asshat @Bert Macklin.



Lilie let out a tiny sound of protest as Salem messed with her hair, taking a second to fix her earmuffs and ponytail. Well, at least he gave her a compliment, so she would give him a pass there. As she smoothed out the top of her head, she thought about what he said. A lot did happen in a short amount of time, didn't it? She hoped she had improved, but she felt like she had to work on it every chance she had single day just to keep up with everyone. Her affinity was still super clingy, and if she wasn't careful and got too comfortable, she'd probably end up regressing or something.

But that kind of thinking was only going to slow her down--she still had every intention of having excellent grades across the board with one class as an exception--so she put those thoughts aside as Salem admitted he was nervous. "Hey, we've worked our butts off, and this practical is the time to shine. You already have the right thought process, all that's left is to just do it," She told him. "You're gonna be great."

As she took a tiny pause to drink more, she flashed another grin at him. "Now that you've given me some of your famous secret magic tea, I've got no worries. Everything will be fine," She winked.

Once Dr.Arjin's announcement was made, Lilie felt the excitement come rushing back: it was showtime! "Hey, look, this is you," She told Salem, pointing to his name. "I'll see you at the finish line, then!" She said, spotting her own name nearby.

Having some great tea with @Trainerblue192.



Salem coming over made Lilie grin, happy to see a familiar face. Once she made sure she had what she wanted, she stuffed everything into her bag before following him. At the mention of tea, her eyebrows shot up, her grin widening a little as she gladly took the thermos in hand. She couldn't believe he actually remembered! Honestly it did make her feel a little better, more of her excitement taking over as any nervousness over arcane magic she had was whisked away with the wind. Getting away from the crowd helped some, and she felt the tea was just the cherry on top.

"You didn't have to do that!" Lilie told him, grateful for the little gift. "Thank you, that's so sweet of you. It'll help with the cold, too."

Taking advantage and taking a sip, she exhaled happily, looking up at him. "That feels like it was forever ago, right? It's funny to think about," She joked lightly. "I'm so glad we're such good friends now. If it wasn't for you and Aaron, I'd probably be super depressed or something." She giggled, lightly nudging him. "How are you feeling about your magic? Think you have a handle on the spell?"

Having some great tea with @Trainerblue192.



"A wolf doesn't lose sleep over what sheep think," Eris stated, uncrossing his arms as he gave old Benson a shrug. "Besides, me and Wells spent some quality time together during our break. You'd be surprised how relationships evolve." Hmm, that might've been too much of a stretch to be believable, but right now, all Eris wanted to do was wipe that stupid sympathetic 'are you okay' look off of the stupid little count's face.

He needed to get back on the offensive, where should he go? His lack of a solidified position? That stupid trenchcoat? That sorry excuse of a haircut? Eris looked the count up and down, realizing that this was the first time he was really looking at him. He reminded Eris a lot of Sunny before his wardrobe had been redone, very stiff. Except for that trenchcoat. Why the hell was he wearing a coat? Vampires didn't feel temperatures like mortals did. What an idiot.

"Did you take fashion advice from Thomas A. Anderson? I'm pretty sure the trenchcoat is supposed to be black..." Eris muttered, lightly plucking at the count's sleeve before looking back up at him. "Sorry, bad fashion choices completely throw off my train of thought, what were we talking about again?"


Determined to get the last word over @Bert Macklin.



Benjamin, not Benson? It was also Eris and not Eric, but it bothered him enough to feel the need to correct him now that he was on the receiving end, so Eris was going to make sure to roll with that, even if it was completely on accident. More importantly, little Eve outright admitted that he was, in fact nervous. Eris would have sympathized if he had actually liked the guy and wasn't more concerned with himself. The Eve count had a marshmallow so soft that someone could probably step on some flowers and she'd likely burst into tears. Meanwhile Eris was half convinced that Alderman was going to play "How Many Trees Can I Drive My Vampire Through?" and he was the lucky participant!

That said, he was pretty sure that second statement was aimed towards Varis, and as much as he wanted to defend him, he had to place him in the same category as the Eve (especially because everyone was acutely aware Sunny would probably rip his own arm off to protect him if to came down to it).

"Wow, no faith at all in your mage," Eris clucked his tongue as he shook his head. "Way to kick her while she's down! And to think, the little one came crying to me once she realized she had lost her friend...but I guess if she asked me, it was because she couldn't ask you, huh?" He said slowly, eyes widening as if he just had a realization. "Despite revolving door of Eve representatives, the princess has seen to it that she stays there. But I guess if I were her, I wouldn't bother getting an adequate mage, either...I've never seen a mage have more tenure than their vampire. Incredible."

He wagged a finger at Benson. "You be nice to Chรฉrie, it wouldn't do for a mage sympathizer to be mistreating their little ones," He warned him, pausing briefly. "Although most of them end up fucking so I guess if that's your style then carry on."






"Go...uh, what's our mascot?"

The Montgomery Conglomerate's heir fell head over heels for the secretary in the front lobby. Nine months later, Juliette was born. One year after that, her father was tragically killed in a car accident. That was probably the point it all went downhill, but it wasn't until Juliette was around thirteen that she realized how obsessive her mother was with living out her fantasies through her daughter. Whether it was coincidence or a need to please her mother at all costs, Juliette ended up taking up a lot of her mother's hobbies and interests. Fortunately, she fell in love with cheerleading, dedicating a majority of her life to it.

Years later, her mother fell in love with some British guy, and finally, Juliette was free to live her life. Well, not exactly, because she had the rug pulled out from under her after she was told that they'd be moving to London during her senior year. No amount of begging, crying, compromise, or shouting would change her mother's mind--after all, she was a dedicated new wife!--so with much reluctance, Juliette had everything packed up and shipped off to her new home. Hopefully her new school has a squad she can join!

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Cheerleading!!! But I'm also super into watching plays (Obvious from the Shakespearean name right?), reading, shopping, self care, and baking by following instructions from the internet!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE? WHAT DO YOU HATE?

I actually really like watching sports! Watching everyone compete their hearts out just makes me really happy. I really don't like people that get mean when it comes to other people's passions. Just let them be happy! What's wrong with that???

DO YOU HAVE ANY HABITS/QUIRKS?

My friends used to tell me that I worry too much. I feel like they're only a little right? Honestly, who doesn't worry about the future and any big changes in their life and reaching adulthood and having no sense of direction and the pressure to perform from an overbearing mom and getting into a good college? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one :) right?

Cheerleader for Life!
