I'll try and get a post out tomorrow. I've just been in a slump recently where I can't will myself to write anything. Really sorry.
Heidi nods. The new kid was talking to her again. This was her chance to redeem herself for failing to hold his attention earlier. She just had to keep calm and be natural. He asked you a question about yourself! How hard can it be to answer?

"Yes. My mutation is my thinking. I'm like a human supercomputer. It makes me overthink things a lot, though. It's not as fun as it sounds..."

You can't leave it there, Heidi. You have to follow it up with a question about him, but don't get too in detail.

"What's your ability?"
Grek began to look around, nose through everything he could get his claws on, lift things up, flip through books. It was easy to tell he wasn't well versed in the ways of social etiquette. "This is a nice hut you've got, if I'm honest."

He looked over at Alexius. The poor guy was still suffering in these caves, and Grek did feel some degree of compassio though had absolutely not idea how to express it. He eventually went with "Hey, you should probably eat something. It might settle your nerves."
Blanc landed on her feet, in a matter that could have been called graceful if it weren't for the small crater she had created. She looked around before anybody had even began talking. They were in Planeptune, but something was different, the swathes of smiling, cosmopolitan people...were gone.

"I've got a bad feeling about this..." she muttered, and as if on cue, she spotted the approaching vehicles. Then before any of them knew it, they were surrounded by armed soldiers. Hardly a warm welcome, but at least it was professional and made herself, and no doubt the others, think twice before making any rash moves. In her head, she was taking notes for improvements in her own nation's security team.

She managed a smile in the face of this reception. "We don't mean anybody any harm. We only wish to talk with whoever's in charge." she spoke softly to the soldier currently aiming a gun right at her.
You opened pandora's box, my friend.

But for srs, I'll stop alluding to the activities.
Dark Souls 2. Just...Dark Souls 2

Also, when my own temper gets the better of me, it itself becomes the reason I'm angry and sets me off in a self-feeding loop for hours.
I'm dropping out.

People put in less effort than me and "get really good" but I get "You need to put in way more effort."

Nooope. I'm out.
Heidi had noticed that the """conversation""" between her and the new kid had finished. Should she try to re-ignite it? He did seem to be engaging with this prank plan pretty well. Should she join in too? No, no, she wasn't going to bring herself to that level for a friend she might not even keep over the course of the day with her social skills. Besides, there will be other chances, other opportunities.

When her name was called, and she was asked to calculate the odds of this prank actually working, she mentally rolled her eyes and then, with a pause so brief she may as well ave been asked what on plus one was, she replied in a voice quiet from lack of practice yet just about loud enough for the class to hear.

"Between 68 and 86 percent, depending on his imagination and gullibility."

She hadn't even looked up.
"You say I'm a monster, but we'll see who's laughing when the animals you eat form a society of Human Hunters. Actually, didn't I read an Orwell novel like that once?"

Appearance


Name: Jacqueline 'Jackie' Ashby
Age: 57 (appears 19)
Sex: Female
Sexual Preference: Hetero
Vampire/Human/Slayer: Vampire
Pure Blood/Aristocrat/Turned: Aristocrat
-vampires only-
House: Ashby
-Aristocrats only-

Gifts
Jackie has the ability to turn into a vampire bat, old-school style.

Personality
Jackie is something of a tomboy, with a mischievous streak. She'll happily befriend a human though will never see them above the level of pet or cattle. She's kept out of trouble by a silver tongue and something of a girlish charm about her. Her hobbies include using her bat form to snoop, and curling up with some classical literature. Her favorite author is Charlotte Bronte.

Biography:
The Ashby family is a fairly weak and diluted bloodline, though still maintain aristocratic status and is among the more dominant families of the United Kingdom, where vampire hunters are more of a problem and the vampire presence is much weaker than the states. Jackie was the middle child of her generation. Her elder brother received all the honor and responsibility. Her younger sister received the attention. Jackie was, besides keeping her out of trouble, largely left to look after herself. When she hit 30, she decided to move to New York, where it was warmer, more cosmopolitan, and the vampire presence much stronger than her native country, though she still maintains good relations to her family, her parents are secretly hopeful she'll marry into a more powerful aristocratic family while over there.
Grek was about to answer when Arjun took over and answered for him. Grek just nodded and thought 'Yep. Yep, that's about right. Not like I wanted to speak anyway.'

The talk of hatchery soured his mood a little further. Yes, some of us haven't contributed to the hatchery our entire lives. There was no need to rub it in. One day there might be a female Kobold who'd want a small, scrawny trapmaker to be the father of her children, but Grek really, really doubted it.

Grek was definitely gravitating more towards 'Alexius' than Arjun. Even if Grek found the newcomer eccentric to the point of weird, he was also something of an outlier of the tribe. He noticed that he was looking around him a little uncomfortable.

"Feeling claustrophobic? I'm sure you'll get used to it again quickly enough. Didn't take me long to stop feeling paranoid and exposed when I'm out there."
