"Not so fast, Mr.Thames."

Stopped dead in his tracks, Luke probably looked like a deer caught by headlights. He opened the half door closed to listen to the Headmaster and stepped halfway into the office. It was sincerely unlucky for him to be caught whilst basically most of his energy was sapped away,

"Congratulations are in order for your fine demonstration. If you would, please, attend me for a moment."

"Many thanks Headmaster, but I feel like i couldn't have done that alone, so if you will, please extend your congratulations to Zephyr, he basically did all the hard labour." he replied, rubbing the back of his head shyly, "Yes Headmaster?"

"Mr.Thames, if you please. She was lost and could not find the dormitory. Please escort her on my behalf. Afternoon classes are not in session today, so enjoy your time to relax."

Luke sighed in sweet relief, the afternoon classes took a toll and if he would've attended he wasn't sure if he could have stayed awake, "Sur- Yes, the dorms are where I'm planning to go to next anyway." Luke continued his prattle, fixing his glasses back onto his face as it slowly began to slide off, he left the office feeling that he had been dismissed but waited by the office door for the student.

"I think I just dodged a bullet..."
"Oh..."

"Hello, Mrs exempt from punishment." Luke called out to her, "I'm Luke Thames, non-descript water student, and through my lethargy I'll be guiding you to the dorms. Uhh, I hope you know your dorm room, otherwise you should go back in and ask Headmaster Kano, otherwise we'll be going."

Luke led her through the myriad of long hallways and intricate paths. It was a long winded path for sure, "I don't blame you for getting lost in this maze-like building." Luke said outloud on accident as he led her through. There were many students loitering about as per usual, many showing off their powers, which was a waste to be honest. In the midst of sighing he noticed the stares again, well whatever. He turned the final corner and they were in the dorm area.

"Well, here it is!" Luke exclaimed, although in a whisper as he was lacking energy, "I'm sorry but you have to excuse me, I'm feeling a bit tired after a 'special' task given to me by the Headmaster. Hope you find your way to your dorm." he continued, cracking his shoulders and hands, before waving her off and walking to his room.

After a turn of the first knob and consequential locking and a turn of the second knob to his room, he collapsed on the bed, a nap... no rest for a few hours should help. Maybe. He snuggled up to his bed, and before he slept he could notice the faint traces and scent of a female,

@Liferusher
"Mm~ oh.. yeah, Emi wahs sleepng... hre.. Zzz" he said in his drowsy, half asleep state, soon after he closed his eyes and fell into a comfortable and deep slumber.

They looked pissed, well it was to be expected. Jake didn't really look to be liked by most people, but not extremely hated that they would look out and try to hunt him down. That aside, it was two females and one males. Both the females looked pissed and irritated, and the male had a more confused, muddled look about him. He just shot them a complacent smile in kind.

“Just give me a reason.”

One of the more fluffier-haired prisoner said, he shrug at her, "... Maybe later." he continued running his mouth off,

"Shut up."

"Yes Mam!" he replied, straightening his slack posture and shooting her a mock salute,

"Lets just go."

"Follow me. And you, one wrong move, and I will burn this forest to the ground. With you in it."

He followed the ragtag bunch, although he followed at the back, he doesn't bode well with crowds. The soft rustle of the leaves and the smell of the forest hit Jack's nose, a sweet yet myrthy scent. This realism just made the situation feel all the more real. Along with the soft crunch of the dead leaves and the crunchy sound of rocky earth with each longing step. He thought of his family and friends he had left behind, even through no choice of his own. Well he had steeled his own resolution so he tried to purge any lingering feelings.

"Es, you can go ahead with Wednesday. I'll keep an eye on Jack, we'll catch up." said mister plantman,

"Eh?" Jack said confused one eybrow upturned, "Do you have to go to the potty or pee, well I mean, I could accompany you but we're both adults here!"

"So... blood's your thing, aye? I mean - it's all our things too, but, you can actually do shit with yours?"

"... Yeah, something like that." he replied, opening up the wound on his left hand, the blood seeped out own command and beginning encircling his hand, akin to a the rings on Jupiter's planet. "I guess, I can manipulat-" He shot out a blood tendril from his already opened wound, and passed right the plant-user's cheek barely missing him. He noticed a dark figure hiding beneath the shadow of the treeline,

"You... you hiding there." he said, his voice darkening a little, "Are you a friend of that man who attacked me earlier?"

Seppuku is too harsh, what about sodoku?

His reactive bullet had actually hit someone, albeit by accident. Though he tried to hide it, he was actually impressed at his own precision. He looked at his left hand as the wound made a fleshy sound and began closed, Jake made a 'not-bad' face after glancing at her. The group seemed to think he attacked them, well, someone who can control plant-life got attacked him first- without movies or dinner nonetheless!

“Just let me touch the fucker!” One of the prisoners within the treeline called out, the rustling of the leaves getting closer to him,

"Woah missy, I'd rather not be touched, I have notouchytouch-phobia, a real thing I assure you, my doctors told me about it." Jake replied in sarcastic ridicule. He mentally noted that this person wanted to touch him, for all intensive purposes, her powers were most likely touched based.

"Fuck! God-damn-shit-fuck!" said another voice, what a mouth.

"Do you kiss your mother with that mouth." he continued in jest, well he really should be stopping as they most likely already have bad initial impressions with 'good-ole' Jake, "Jeers aside, apologies for that, purely reactionary shot when your plantman entagled my leg."

"Nice aim."
"And Site Haeda? We're heading there too. We could let you come along but only if you plan on using those bullets on anyone besides us this time? It's a tough time on your own."

He weighed his options, going along with another group, who seemed to know the location as well, seemed to be the safest route. Well aside from being attacked... after a third time, they should be able to protect themselves. One seemed to control plants, the other touch-based and the final one he wasn't sure but she gave off enough heat energy to fry an egg.

"Hey thanks. The key is to practice on plastic bottles." he replied to the not-so pleased young man, "Hey it's no skin off my bones to restrict my powers, I actually prefer that, so no worries on that end. I'll tag along for now."

After those exchange of words he revealed himself to the three prisoners, his hands half-reaching for the skies,
"Lead on!"

After a bit of restful waiting he had decided to scout out some of the sites, if the notes have an ounce of truth on it, then 'Site Haeda' would be a site where they grow 'Kush' or in Laymen's terms, Weed. It didn't take a genius to deduce that, if 'Kush' did indeed grow there, then there's a likely chance that they were growing sustainable foods. It was a guess, sure, but a guess backed by deduction, and if he was wrong, Jack would probably hit himself. Sustenance is probably the top issue at the moment, as he had no idea how food works around here.

He asked around for information, he would also ask for a guide but he dare not trust his back with some random inmate in basically this generation's version of the 'Wild West'. Nonetheless, he did try to get some information, and it was slightly confirmed that there indeed was food there, and the people were too 'high' to be aggresive. Good sign, I guess he thought precariously. Jack was still liable to get attacked by the 'rougher' inmates around so it wasn't a 'risk-free' endeavor. Risking for food was worth it, even with the small chance of getting attacked, Crap, I shouldn't jinx myself

He set off on his excursion. The forests were rather... massive and it didn't help when the trees all looked similar. Hell, he could've sworn he saw that rock three times by now. However he was probably making good pace, as he did spot the very few landmarks he had jotted down. The trek was still a bit far off though. Aside from the confusing nature of these forests, there was a sort of calm to them, a certain serene stillness that you wouldn't be able to find in Site Borea. This silence is welcomed by Jack, it was soothing, and even slightly took his mind off the kind of hell they were placed in.

Obviously the veil of silence had to be broken by two grouchy, and rouch voices. Jack looked up at the source of the voices, two thuggish looking individuals met his searching eyes. They certainly looked like the cliche type of people who would try to rob a newcomer. Their clothes were heavily tattered leaving many holes that allowed you to see their bare- wounded skin, the smell they exuded would wish one to permanently forgo their sense of smell. A textbook example of 'lowlives'.

Jack furrowed his brow into a scowl, he was still a little ways off but he just knew he had to expend his stamina to deal with these two right now. The mood was entirely ruined, and the atmosphere drab. With a frown etched on his face he didn't even try to converse with them. It was earlier than he expected, but he cut both his palms and the scarlet red blood began to seep out slowly, the two prisoners looked baffled but smiled, maybe they thought Jack was insane and he was an easy target.

However one more look at Jack's demented eyes and crazed smile, the complexion of one who certainly didn't give up. Even the glaze of his eyes were mad. The blood took the two prisoners by surprise, two blood-like tendrils exuded from his open wounds and swiped precisely at the tendons of their feet. While he wasn't predisposed to not killing, he would still do it. But right now, there was no exact reason to do so, so he aimed to maim. One of them got caught in the surprise attack, and began spewing out blood and fell to the floor, screaming. The other dodged at the very last second. Jake brought the tendril that cut the prisoner's heel next to his mouth and licked the remnants of the prisoner's blood caught on it. Was this a scare tactic, maybe.

The other looked particularly perturbed, his eyes shook in terror and his gaze snapped from his downed partner and the boy who had tendrils coming out of his arms. He clicked his tongue at noticing the second one escaped his grasp, however an erratic smile crept on his face at perceiving how unsettled he was, "Haha... Hahaha- HAHA." Jake cackled darkly his hand covering half his face, the shadow of the forests hiding his visage perfectly, only illuminated by the dark reddish hue of his blood. It just made him look all the more intimidating, was this enough for him to turn tail and run? Hopefully.

That it was, luckily enough, he grabbed his downed friend and sprinted away into a random direction. The two figures eventually disappeared into the greenery, and the silent stillness encapsulated the forests one more, with the only other sound being Jake's own relieved sigh. His tendrils receded back into his palms and the wound closed up, he gasped a few breaths, that little display of his took a little more energy than he calculated.

He resumed his tender saunter towards the location. He was most likely going the correct way, probably. However something grew around his ankle and constrained his movement, he winced at the tightness,
"What the..." Jake exclaimed in his surprise, it was probably another prisoner, "Seriously, I think I really DID jinx myself earlier."

"Who are you and why the fuck are you sneaking up behind a buncha people who could possibly kill you?"

Another voice called out from somewhere in the forest, and by instinct he shot out a small blood bullet from his right palm.

"Oops. Better dodge that, mysterious prisoner #3." he warned outloud, "I'm no one of consequence, I was making my way to 'Site Haeda' before you attacked me."

"Oh, I'm friendly, by the way." he jeered, still trying to loosen the vine entrapping his leg, "Believe it or not."
