School For The Troubled (Immortal/Mortal IC)

"Or you'll both be murdered horribly" Hajime pointed out. He had slowed down a bit to join the group, teachers pets rarely survived and being at the head of the group was basically like having a bullseye painted on your forehead at a darts throwing tournament.
"I heard a rumour that a group of guys killed these two guys because they looked at them funny. Probably not true, but there are people out there who do shit like that" he changed the subject quickly.
"God i hope we pass a vending machine on the way" He looked up to the ceiling, his hands were in his pockets.

Sebastian proceeded through the strangely empty hallways of the school with all of his students in tow. He was pleased that they knew their place. A bit of fear was always healthy for the heart. He lets them discuss amongst themselves so that they could become more familiar with each other. It would set the playing field later on. Already groups were forming as were secret plans. But as strong as alliances were, they would eventually break through time, insanity and selfishness. The clock was already ticking, the game had already started.

Sebastian opened to his classroom- "Survival 101". On the surface it looked just like any other regular classroom and that was indeed the truth. The true power lied in Sebastian's hands. He was a demon after all. "Good morning class and welcome to Survival 101. I am Sebastian, your teacher and you may refer to me as such. You are all more than aware of the dangers of life - both as the hunter and the hunted. In this class you will learn strategies to continue your existence even when all odds are against you. But before we start your first lesson, a few pleasantries..." said Sebastian as the last student entered and he closed the door.

"State your name and use only one word to describe yourself"

Survival 101...Wow, I really need this class. Jeffrey tried to observe the room, but then Sebastion said to state his name, Jeff cleared his throat a bit. "Jeffrey is my name, and one word o describe me..." Jeffrey went into a short deep thought. I could say Gullible, Weak, Useless, Clumsy, or Sensitive...Or I could go with friendly. Which one should I use... "Um, Clumsy," Jeff stated. Now no one will trust me with anything valuable.

Violet coughed erratically and covered her mouth, wheezing out a soft mutter that sound like, "Violet Lauren Rosery-Faireweather, I'm sort of brave. And stupid." she cleared her throat abruptly and sunk into her chair, her arm went to covering her face and she shrugged, coughing another fake cough and shrugging. She was brave but not in social situations, she'd rather keep her mouth quiet. Her eyes shifted from sidr to side and she started to hum under her breath. She was wondering about herself, she really was. Sometimes she thought she needed a shrink. "Insane." she muttered to herself rather than the room and tipped side from side in her chair.

Lucas made his way through the hallway, wary to approach anyone on his first day. Right now, I just need to focus on an escape plan... He thought, narrowing his eyes, trying to memorize the path of the hallways. But it was pointless, the intricate system would take days, maybe weeks to remember.

Lucas sped up his pace, hand going in his pocket to finger his pendant. Biting his lip he made his way into the classroom and sat down with a huff. Lucas raised an eyebrow at the question, Great, just what I need, some creepy teacher profiling his students. Lucas glanced at Jeff, tilting his head. So negative... Lucas cleared his throat awkwardly, shifting a bit in his seat as he murmured, "Lucas Maller, foolish."

With all the betrayals in his rather long life, it seemed to be the perfect word to describe someone who had fallen so many times. He promised to himself,he would never make a mistake like that again.

Hajime walked in second last. When he was asked the question he breathed in a bit and started to think of what he should answer. At first 'yoghurt' was the word he wanted to say but knowing this teacher he would probably be thrown into a pit of rats for just saying that. He eventually thought of a word that he had thought of himself as for years. After a few people had said theirs he said his.
"Hajime Himekawa, my word is able" he grinned not the grin of someone who had bested someone more the grin of someone who was pleased with themselves.

Jesse made his way through the halls with the rest of the other juvenile delinquents. He was pretty much in his own set of mind while other students were off having their own conversations. Jesse wore a white v-neck shirts, black skinny jeans, and some high top converse. He wore a pendent around his neck that has been in his family for generations. It was said to give him an extra power boost which he needed since the spirits didn't aid him anymore at the moment. Jesse made his way into one of the classrooms with the rest of the students and tried to keep to himself. There was something creepy about that Sebastian guy and he didn't want to be on his radar. He leaned against the wall as the guy explained about Survival 101, tensing up when he mentioned the hunters and the hunted. That only made him even more anxious. When it had gotten around his room, he spoke in a voice that was kind of low, but enough for everyone to hear. "Jesse Cartwright." He paused for a moment to think of a word and said the first that came to mind. "Wicked."

Joanie huffed and sat down in a chair, crossing her arms and sighing. She knew she was going to hate the class, especially because he was teaching. What made her hate it even more was that most of her mates there were weaklings! In her eyes, atleast. At Sebastian's statement, she sat quietly as they all said their names and a word to describe themselves. She shook her head when it was her turn, and spoke clearly.
"My name is Joanie Jarie Jones..." She said, smiling her fake smile as she pondered what word she could say. A lot of words came to mind, but they all seemed so ordinary. She wanted to be unique, to stand out.
"Outcast." She said suddenly, and continued chewing her gum.

Yes, she was an outcast. But she liked it that way. Not talking to people, so she could hate from a distance. She was perfectly happy. Survival 101 sounded like fun to her. Maybe they would practice combat skills or use weapons. That was something she actually looked forward to.

Sebastian mentally noted the responses from his students. They were what he expected. Some responses were straight forward whilst others danced around the topic. And there were those who responded with the word of who they wanted others to see them instead of them seeing themselves. The question that Sebastian didn't ask was how true they felt that the description was. But he didn't have to ask that. They would find out soon enough. The answers and previous conversations were used to select the focus student for the lesson. Sebastian walked back to the front of the room, putting his hands on table as he addressed them.

"Apart from determination, the most important element to survival is trust. Knowing who to trust, when to trust and how to trust is crucial. Trust the wrong person or information and the damage is done forever. Know who are your friends, allies and acquaintances - they are all different things"

"One of you has been entrusted with everybody's dorm keys. That person knows who they are, but under no circumstances can they reveal that information in any way shape or form. The rest of you have to find out who that person is. No one can claim to be the one with the dorm keys, although they can deny. The dorm keys are not in this room, so do not bother searching"

"Instead you will have to find out amongst yourselves who the student is. Use any way you see fit - be it deduction, coercion, use of magic or downright brutality and violence. If you need a weapon, I can give it to you. In this exercise, your aim is to see through a person and determine whether you can trust them or not. Additionally, everyone else will be suspecting you" said Sebastian as he eyed each student one by one.

"Now begin"

[drfunsake]

Violet shuddered to herself and bit her lip. Someone had all of their dorm keys? That was pretty damn creepy to her and she wondered just who the one would be. She scanned the room warily and frowned to herself, she wondered if she could be seen as a suspect because Vincent was her foster dad. She had connections in the school, sure, but none of that crossed with Sebastian. He was like an alien as far as she was concerned. She slunk further into her chair, glancing around through newly suspicious eyes and chewing her lowerlip. Her eyebrows rose, she was thinking quickly. Who, who, who? Who not to trust? Whom to die? Well, she was a slayer after all. She hunched her shoulders and felt a knot in her gut. She was going to wait to see what happened. She was going to try to wait it out before she jumped on anyone's tail.
