Death City, Nevada. A place I should hope you all are at least moderately familiar with: I'll neglect going over descriptions of thing for now. First day of the new school year, new batch of students coming in, etc. Go!

-----

The young lady stood at the bottom of the immense staircase, gazing up at it, before turning her eyes to her hand. She frowns softly and closes her eyes, muttering a soft chant under her breath before opening her eyes again. Yep. She'd changed her forearm into a sword blade... she was either still dreaming or that was the harsh truth. It was awfully stubborn for a dream...

The chant wasn't anything special, by the way, just something that helps her focus properly.

So she began her climb. There were some other new students she passed on the way up that she offered encouragement to. She supposed not everyone coming here was going to be as a fit as she was... There were some cute girls here, too. She supposed it wouldn't be all bad, after all. Past the stairs, she passes EAT and NOT students that had been here for at least a year already, spending their day as they normally would. She wondered if she'd ever have a chance to meet them... She certainly hoped she could, but time would have to tell. She gets herself a [Weapon] tag from a faculty member passing them out.

Those with Soul Perception can see that Regan possesses remains of a Strong Soul. It's like the larger Strong Soul is peeling away, so very slowly. Bits of it float away occasionally.

Following several posters put up about the school, the brunette eventually finds the classroom that all the new students are to meet in for their introduction to the school. She signs herself in and goes to mingle with the other students while they wait for the teacher.

[x]

Eiko had arrived early not wanting to be late, she was staring out the window the classroom, she noticed the other girl come, but she didn't bother looking in the girl's direction at all almost as if she was ignoring her completely, she had her meister badge pinned to her tie. If someone had soul perception they could see that she has a strong green soul with rocket launchers and rifles appearing next to it and firing into the sky along with the rockets. Eiko suddenly turned to Regan and pointed at the girl with her right gloved hand and put her other hand on her hip." You ! Do you turn into a semi-automatic, or fully automatic assault rifle demon weapon ? Or into a three shot burst rifle demon weapon ? Or are you something else ? " The shorter girl asked in serious and straight forward tone.

Kikiri

nya...... It is ok, you can do this Kikiri, just act natural and no one will find out that you're a witch, nya....

Kikiri was scared to death of coming here. She knew that this was her only way forward, but was also aware of the rivalry between witches and Shibusen. Kikiri was confident in her ability to conseal her soul well enough to hide within the enemies' base camp, but that didn't help settle her nerves. It took her half a year just to make it this far as it was. But all of that is in the past. Weather or not she is found out, there is no escape plan to bail her out. Its all or nothing.

By now Kikiri has made it to the bottom of the huge staircase towering over the town behind her. She didn't really think she could make it on a near empty stomach. Times were tough living on her own. Looking up the staircase, Kikiri could see many of her future peers racing to the top. Some were blondes, some were brunettes. Some were male, some were female. It was amazing how this school was filled with so many different races and ethnicities.

As another peer raced past her and up the stairs, her heart raced. Wondering if he had found her out was her first concern, but that quickly vanished as he raced on and she began to believe in her ability more. The boy looked like a local, or rather an american. His pale white skin made it evident that he was not from this part of America; and his golden blonde hair seemed like it would be too unfitting in any other part of the world. Kikiri took advantage of the moment and started to head up the stairs. She thought she was gonna die. Her stomach quickly depleted itself of fuel as she climbed higher, nearly starving to death about half an hour past the half-way point. Yet she pressed on.When she eventually reached the top, she could see others relaxing after their long climb. Eventually she noticed a flock of people receiving tags and figured that was her next goal.

"Welcome." said the man handing out the tags."You new here? Weapon or meister?"

Kikiri thought for a moment as to what would happened if she replied 'witch' but decided to keep that to herself. "I'm a meister, nya~" Kikiri realized then and there that she would have to work on that. She just hoped that the man wouldn't take too much notice.

The man sighed and gave Kikiri a [Meister] tag and directed her to the room with the other beginners. "One piece of advise, find a partner and a good one, but don't rush. A good relationship takes time to grow."

Kikiri thanked the man and was now headed off toward the beginner's class. Upon arrival, she noticed a sign in sheet and looked around after signing in. There were a few people there, a couple of weapons and maybe a meister or two. She saw the boy that had rushed past her back at the beginning of the stairs, but decided against saying hi. For now, she would just try to blend in and not attract too much attention.

Logan

"Gah, I gotta hurry, else I'll be late.."

Logan ran with considerable speed for someone who didn't really care about anything. Maybe he felt as though he needed to make a good first impression while being on his own; or maybe he felt nervous for just the same reason. No one would really know, not that it mattered. While running, Logan nearly ran into another student, though was able to doge her at the last moment so not to cause a scene. He continued his run for nearly half way up the stairs....... then he just gave up.

"Agh, why am I even running? AND WHO BUILDS STAIRS THIS TALL?" Logan sighed and continued on walking.

Logan was quiet the rest of the way, not even saying anything to the guy handing out badges. Logan just took one that said [Weapon] and carried on. When prompted to, Logan signed in at the sign in sheet and proceeded into the class.

"Howdy ya'll." Logan didn't receive much of a reply and so he just let them be and found a nice spot in the edge of the room.

Melody

Melody lounged in one of the chairs, her feet propped up on a desk as she watched the room slowly fill with people. Her [Weapon] badge shone from her hip as she studied her new classmates. They were an interesting bunch, that was certain, but so far she didn't see any Meisters she would want to partner with. The first girl to show was obnoxious to say the least, and on top of that seemed way too childish. As she began bombarding a weapon girl with inane questions, Melody felt it was time to swoop in and save the day.

"Hey now," She said, coming up behind the Weapon girl and putting a hand on her shoulder, "There's no need to attack the poor girl. I'm sure we'll all get introduced to each other in due time, so why ask such a personal question right off the bat? Why not start with something like: 'Hi, what's you're name? I'm Melody.'" The last part was directed at Regan herself, as Melody smiled down at the girl.

Eiko

The shorter girl looked over Melody, then Regan again, she crossed her arms across her average bosom glared at the two," I'm not here to conversate with people, I'm here to get a sufficient and proficient weapon, not idly chat with people, I don't have time for that, I express apathy for that kind of thing." Eiko told the two, she put a clenched gloved fist in front of the two taller women." If you won't answer my questions then I have no reason to speak to either of you if your not a weapons that I can use." The white haired girl turned away from the two and went back to the window looking out of it once again.

Nina

Waking up to an unplugged alarm clock, Nina awoken in a rush feeling as if she was late, she panicked and quickly took a shower, she gotten dressed in a blouse that looked like the Canadian flag and a pair of jeans with some sandals, she rushed out of the house while her family was making breakfast, she grabbed a piece of toast and tossed it into her mouth on her way out rushing, with everyone laughing seeing the time. When she reached the school, she ran an unbelievable speed up the grand stair case, and to the classroom, when she gotten into the class room she was out of breath and panting.

" I'm....Sooo....Sorry...For....Being....Late...Please forgive me." Nina said before the guy handing out the tags told her she wasn't late, Nina took a weapon tag then fell backwards on her back facing up, she was tired from running all the way from her home to the school and up it's giant staircase, she was breathing deeply as she pinned the weapon badge onto her blouse while trying to catch a second wind, she later got up and brushed her firm backside off and blouse off. Nina began walking around looking for a meister before she would start talking to everyone so she could find a good one before the other weapons.

"U-uh..." Regan was taken aback by the sudden interrogation, seeming uncertain. Those things she was talking about... guns, right? Something about guns. The fact that it was in English didn't help... not that her English was poor. She's just never had a chance to talk about guns before... But she certainly didn't like this girl's attitude. Was that all she wanted, was a good weapon? "I'm not any kind of weapon you're interested in, so I guess that's the end of it. Goodbye." She huffs and walks away, disinterested in further conversation with that one.

Underneath the [Weapon] on her badge was a [NOT] qualifier.

She almost bumped into a girl she almost didn't noticed, but managed to avoid at the last minute. "Whoa. Oh, hey there. I almost didn't see you, are you here alone?" It wouldn't do to go for long without someone to talk to, though. And she kind of abandoned that other girl to her doom with that gun-obsessed one... Oops.

Kikiri

NYA~?!?!? Wha- Why is she talking to me? Oh, a NOT weapon....... Alright, just brush her off. I came here to survive, not to make friends.

"Nya~a-OT class also, i see...." GREAT, smooth move. You nearly gave yourself away, and such a weak cover up. Kikiri sighs a small sigh.

"I uh..... already have a partner....." Kikiri looked away almost shamefully, she was a painfully bad liar and she knew it. She also knew what would come up next, so before being asked, she points him out.

As she points to Logan, she says "That's him over there......, so if you'll excuse me." Kikiri starts to walk off only to stop and see that the kid was not where she thought he was and it didn't help the fact that she didn't even know who he was.

"NYA?!?!?!?"
Who? How? When? Where did he disappear to all of the sudden?
Kikiri simply looks back at Reagan sheepishly and smiles while letting out a bit of nervous laughter. "Heh....heh...."

After a couple minutes of looking around, Nina looked around discovering a familiar person with white hair by the window, she tried to be sneaky slowly walking up on her old friend, when she was close she hugged Eiko and took the shorter girl off her feet in the hug, " Well I found my meister, wait why are you here ? Your not thinking about replacing me are you ?" Nina held the shorter girl up off the ground and looked to her with tears welling in her eyes.

Eiko sighed listening to Nina, she kept her stoic straight face," No, I'm here for a backup, in case you get sick and can't come with me, or in case you die or something else happens to you." Eiko spoke in a cold tone. Somehow only the first part of what Eiko said got through to Nina and made Nina hug Eiko into her bosom, Nina felt happy that she wasn't going to be replaced by another weapon then let Eiko go.

" Nina before you get overly happy, why are you here ?" Eiko asked, Nina began to sweat trying to think of a good reason to why she was here as well," S-same reason, to look for a meister in case something bad were to happen to you." Nina stammered trying to use the same reason to justify why she was there, Eiko just sighed and put a gloved hand on her pale forehead," Okay then let's try to forget about this happening and move on from it, change out of those close and put on your usual clothes. Nina saluted the white haired girl," Yes ma'am." The taller buxom girl left the class room with Eiko following behind her.

Logan

"GAH, this place stinks." Logan had grown tired of waiting around. People were getting furied up rather quick. He thought that he might even see about transferring to the EAT class. Any weapon is a good weapon, right? "Later peaps."

Logan left the room, but had no obvious place to go so he just paced back and forth before settling down, twiddling his thumbs just outside the NOT's room. Logan eventually had a good idea. If he were to become part of the EAT class, he would have to have some sort of mastery over his weapon form. ..... And what better way than with a hacky sack? Logan always had one with him. It was a very popular lunch period past-time in his high school. He was no where near the top two players, but he was good enough to give them a run for their money.

Logan had it all planned out: he would play a couple of rounds normally, just to get warmed up. Then, he would transform a little bit of a time and use that to hit the sack up and down. But the funny thing about plans is that they don't always go according to plan. Just then Logan saw two girls leave the classroom. And boy he thought they were beautiful. Logan knew he never would have a chance as they were a year or two older than he; but still, his heart was set aflame. He wasn't sure witch one he liked better, they were both just so beautiful. He decided that he wasn't gonna mess around wasting his time with useless activities and would see if he could at least hang with the beautiful girls.

Logan ran up to the girls with a huge smile on his face. "Hello! I'm sorry, I couldn't help but notice you two. Ya'll obviously look like ya'll both are too good for this class. I would be honored if I could join ya'll. My name's Logan, and I would be delighted if I could get to know yours."

"The 'nyot' class?" Regan chuckled softly, smiling. "That's adorable, I love it." Her smile faded, however, when Kikiri said she had a partner already. However, that person didn't seem to be where she expected. "Aah... perhaps your partner has gone to the bathroom...?"

"Either way, looks like you're up for grabs!" The girl chuckled again, before extending her hand toward the meister. "If you're a meister, you'll need a weapon who'll be there when you want them to be, right? If you feel comfortable with a sword who... can't quite transform perfectly on command yet..." her confidence seemed to falter as she thought of something else, "you can count on me to be there." She finished with a smile, at least.

Eiko was waiting outside of the female locker room for Nina to come out soon, when the taller buxom girl walked out of the locker room into the hallway while fixing her suit jacket and noticed Eiko was wearing her pea coat giving her the idea that they were going on a mission." Don't worry, it's not a mission we're going on, well not yet, I'm going to take you to my domain," Eiko told the taller attractive girl, the news excited Nina making her almost squeal due to what she said.

" Oh really ? Really I'm going to see your home ? I'm so excited, I thought you would never show me your little home." Nina said excited about their soon to be journey, but when Nina was finished talking Eiko covered the taller girl's mouth with a gloved hand and shushing the girl at the same time Logan arrived greeting them and telling his name to the both of them, Eiko removed her hand from Nina's mouth and put both her gloved hands into her pea coat's pockets silently staring at Logan, Nina on the other hand didn't act shy to the boy," Hi, my name Nina, and this cutie is my meister Eiko, she and I were having a conversation about her home and she was about to show me the place, want to tag along ?" The weapon girl asked.

Eiko sighed and almost face palmed her self for telling Nina what they were going to do, but she figured that the boy could actually help her." Let's go, if you want to come, then come along, if not forget what Nina said." Eiko said before she walked away from Logan with Nina following behind her.

Kikiri

Kikiri couldn't help but blush a little. The girl was just so cute the way she was giggling and bubbly. Although her self pity was a bit undermining. Kikiri knew, however, that she couldn't say yes. She was a witch and the girl would most definitely find out. Although if she didn't choose a partner, what would happen to her? Would she be expelled?

/Nya~ What do I do? I can't say yes, but I won't make it back in the real world..... Can I trust her? No, you cant trust anyone! But I don't think I can hide my soul from her when we're that close together. Oh! that's it! Nya~!/

Kikiri smiles at the girl, but doesn't take her hand. "Sure, I'd love to partner up with you! My name's Kikiri, What's yours? And tell me about yourself, surely a pretty weapon has a pretty story."

Jacholaus was getting prepared for the day this morning as the chiming sounds of the clocks in his large manorial home struck. He smiled softly as he glanced at the timepiece. He would be fashionably late to school today. No worries, though. Jacholaus doubted the legitimacy of one arriving on time to the school on the first day, what with the absurd staircase. Though, the more he thought about it, the more he would come to a conclusion that is symbolic of something. Overcoming an impossible-seeming obstacle, so you believe in yourself and your ability, as well as others'. It was brilliant.

As he was having the final preparations done, he turned to the head maid of the group of maids practically given to him by his parents. "Hogy nézek ki, Mera? (How do I look, Mera?)," he asked, smiling in his usual way. Yes, he knew her name. He took the time to learn the names of the maids in the household. "Úgy nézel ki, túlnyomórészt jóképű, uram (You look overwhelmingly handsome, my lord)," she replied, smiling and blushing a small bit. Jacholaus sighed and smiled. "Már mondtam, hogy nem kell, hogy túl messzire megy a bókokat, buta (I've told you that there is no need to go too far with compliments, silly)," he replied. With that, he would leave on his way, waving a goodbye to and fro the maids.

After a leisurely walk to the DWMA and a nice climb up the stairs, he was approached by a male giving out identification cards. After being given one that read "Meister", he would fasten it to his suit coat's collar and walk inside. Already, he was receiving glances and gazes from passerby people, mostly from the female ones. It was nice to know he was unnoticed. He would walk into the area he was told to go into, and looked around. "Meglehetősen nagy embercsoport ma itt (Fairly large group of people here today)," he said, smiling the signature Lucard smile.

Glancing over to the opening door, Melody found herself wandering over to the tall boy who walked in. Even she had to admit he was handsome, with a magnetic charm. She smiled as she read his badge.

"Finally, another Meister. I was worried I was going to be forced to be that crazy girl's partner." She held out her hand for him to shake. "Welcome to the class, my name is Melody, a Demon Weapon. What's yours?" With her free hand she pushed her glasses back up her nose, where they had fallen a bit skewed while she wasn't paying attention.

Logan

Well shucks, if she didn't want me along she coulda' said no. I mean it was her house....

"Well if you sure, I'm glad to be of service, though its probably not a good idea to let a complete stranger like myself into your house. I can stay outside if you want me to." Logan was halfway joking with that. He would never do anything to betray any trust set against him. But from one stranger to another, it was best to keep on the safe side he thought.

Logan followed behind the two girls, not sure where to be headed and the feeling that he didn't really belong there was looming in the air around him. He couldn't help glance at their butts as they walked from time to time. It wasn't his fault as he wasn't trying to, but puberty said otherwise."So you two look like ya'll are headed somewhere fun," Logan's voice cracked a bit, "any big plans?"

Eiko led the two through Death city in one of the most possibly complicated routes, having all of them go through back alleys, and through the park till they are farthest from the school and at the outskirts of the city. During the walk Eiko ignored Logan the whole way, while Nina on the other hand spoke to the teen going through puberty." Oh well after this Eiko didn't say where we were going, she just said we're going to her domain, Oh wait we are going on a mission later." Nina informed. When they stopped they were in front of a large shipping container, Eiko pulled out a small remote and pressed a button making the door open from the side of the shipping container, the short girl pushed Nina and Logan into the container then examined the sky and looked around for anyone that could've been around before she entered the shipping container.



Inside of the small container there was a record player playing Frank Sinatra's Swinging on a star, The white haired girl pulled the needle off the record and pulled out the stool under the desk sitting down on it waiting for the two get off the floor," This is my Domain, from here I watch certain parts of the city with cameras I've set up outside." Eiko tells them both while Nina is getting off the floor and quickly sits on Eiko's bed looking around at everything." You live here ? "

Jacholaus flashed a smile at the girl whom approached him. He took her hand gently, kneeling and bringing said hand to his lips. "I am Jacholaus Lucard, and I am charmed to meet you, Melody," he said, placing a kiss on her hand before smiling up to Melody. "I am a Meister, myself. Sadly, I find myself in need of a Demon Weapon," Jacholaus said. He smiled and gazed up at Melody, dreamily. "Would you kindly consider being my partner, Melody?"

Melody would be receiving a few jealous stares from passerby girls for having such a hot potential Meister. Although, the stares were mostly from Weapons that only wanted a partner for a boyfriend, and not to be technical in fights. There were only a handful of these girls, anyways. Shouldn't have been too much of a problem.

Logan

Logan flailed about as he entered, trying to keep is balance so as not to fall. This was a pretty sweet place she had here, and if she lived here that would be totally legit. It didn't appear lived in at all, not a mess anywhere, which impressed Logan deeply. Girls really did live under different standards. Logan tried not to make much as a mess as he found a small space by the entrance to camp during his stay. He didn't really know what to do, he never hung out at a friend's house, let alone a beautiful lady's. Logan watched as the red head plops down onto the bed.

Wow..... these two must really be good friends. I hope I'm not intruding, but she did say I could come along. Logan let out a small sigh to clear his thoughts.

"So, you spy on the town? Why?" Logan asked as a follow up to Nina's question. "I mean there can't be that much going on here, right?"
