Katia

The halls where busy with students, which annoyed Katia as it made hunting for Mio hard although it was never easy given Mio made sure was hard to find. Why? As that was simply Mio she didn’t like being easy to find and liked to get into places that students should not be. As much as she found it annoying having to look in the busy hallways for her friend Katia loved to track Mio down. So much so Katia made a game of it and kept score of how many times she could find her in a week. But that wasn’t not important she had to find Mio as Mio always was fun to be around and Katia needed something fun to do. As she walked the hallways Katia grew more annoyed as she couldn’t find her friend, it was slightly depressing when Mio could not be found. But that was Mio a girl who could hide better than any shinobi. She now felt down at failing although anyone that looked at her could never know given Katia face held the same blank expression as always. Moving thought the hallways now heading for the library Katia spotted a particular red head that made her heart nearly fail every time she saw him.

Stopping in her tracks Katia stared at Taiji for a moment her cheeks going a slight shade of red, oh how she wanted to be closer to him. If only she could work up the balls to say it to him and if she wasn’t heading back home at the end of the year as that overshadowed everything. Coming back to her senses Katia watched as some girl bumped into Taiji making Katia feel a spike of anger as she gave such a poor apology. It was then Katia realized she had a chance to speak with Teiji could do it under the pretext of finding Mio. Even if Mio hated Teiji and would gladly push him into incoming traffic and dance on his grave if he died. Katia was about walk up to Taiji when she saw another girl do so introduce herself, if Katia could express she’d be glaring at that girl.

Walking up to Taiji Katia cleared her throat softly as she found it hard to speak Japanese around him. It was so annoying given she had spoken with him a number of times and he was the only person she had this problem with. But told him it was just nerves from all the things she had heard about him before they had actually met. A poor excuse but it was the best she could come up with. Looking Taiji then at the other girl Katia she knew had spoken to her a few but never could recall her name.
“Hello Arita-san and umm… Question mark-san. How are you both doing? Have either of you seen Yasukawa Mio-chan I can’t find her today. If you haven’t it be no surprised she loves to hide.”” Katia stated struggling to from the right sounds as she spoke… dam it if Taiji works out the reason why… she’d simply die.

Admist his thinking, his attention snapped back to reality when he was bumped into by a rather light frame. He didn't get as angry as people said he would, as most avoided him. So when he saw it was a girl who gave probably the worst apology of his life he simply smiled slightly as he shrugged. "It's fi-" He then heard someone laughing at him, which was shortly stopped by said man. Glaring at the person, his eyes narrowed at him as he clenched his fist. Now this is why he could see people calling him monster. In his defense though, he did just get laughed at so it was only fair in Teiji's mind that he got to laugh over the man' unconscious body. Yet his attention was then drawn to someone else when suddenly another small female came up to him, this one full of kindness. She introduced herself and everything, even said where she was from. Although Anselma backed away a little, the fact he has yet to hear soulless monster from her lips was good enough to him. It was good enough to make him forget about the kid he was just about to German suplex. "I'm Teiji Arita..... You heard the rumors haven't you?" He asked knowing full well her backing up was probably due to the rumors.

But god damn he was having one of those day as he was meet with someone familiar. One who admitted to being nervous around him due to all his rumors, yet tried to work around them. Katia was asking about her friend, who he was pretty sure would flee from him on sight. She struggled slightly saying this, yet he assumed she was still a little tense from the rumors. Good thing he stopped his pursuit on suplexing a man. That would continue the fear and maybe scare away Anselma. So he shook his head with a sad frown. "Sorry I haven't Katia. Then again, not many greet me. In fact these couple conversations have been the most I had today. Did you check the roof?" Teiji spoke slowly looking at the kid who laughed at him, he was sure he was glaring at him yet he blamed the kid. Who laughs at someone almost not really getting hurt?

Kaito

All of a sudden, a bunch of new faces appeared, all talking to Teiji.
"Quite the lady killer aren't you, Mister Soulless-chan" Kaito jokes with a slight smirk.
Still covering his mouth to prevent his laughter, Kaito couldn't help feel of killing intent, practically oozing from Teiji, who was now glaring daggers at him. Raising both his hands, up to elbow level, as a sign of surrender.

"I might've seen this Mio person, ehm, if you could only describe her." Kaito adds, "Oh, and I am Kaito Amaya, a new student that recently moved here." all the while smiling, trying to get a good first impression.

A sweat drops from Kaito's forehead, "He's still glaring at me, haaaah."

@Oblivion666
when Teiji turned to responded to the other girl(s) who was glaring for whatever reason, she looked backed at her friends who were still there talking. Though it seem they were really talking they were just having Smalltalk and were actually keeping a eye on here. She turned back to him a bit more encouraged knowing her friends were still there if something were to happened. Though she didn't think anything would happen, he seemed nice enough at least.

When Teiji's attention returned to her she slowly nodded in response. Then she said softly "ja-er, I, I mean yes." She looked back down on the ground and lifted her leg so only her tip of her shoe was touching the ground. "So why exactly d-do they call you s-soulless monster and such?" She said just as softly hoping she wouldn't receive retaliation in anyway.

Miki headed to her locker and pulled out a large lacquered Bento box that held her lunch. Then once she tucked it under her right arm headed for the Club room that she as rep had the key to.

She was in with a smooth swipe of the key card and settled down with a soda as she started an anime to watch as she ate her lunch. Miki often did this to distract her thoughts and to add to a growing list of Anime she'd watched that none of her fellow club members had. Because of this she was a true Geek Goddess a title she enjoyed because it was so low-key.

She ate absentmindedly as she watched a little known yuri three part occasionally looking out of the ground level window which overlooked the incinerator. To those who'd never sat here the view seemed promise only boredom till some of the popular kids slipped behind it and lit a joint. This didn't shock Miki at all because only a few days ago she'd watched as two guys she would have never guessed as yaoi spent their lunch making out.

Beatrix was staring backwards after her apology to the red head. She had forgotten she was running backwards until it was a little too late. She spun around facing forward, Her eye eyes widened as she ran straight into someone, it wasn't like before where she bumped into them. It was like she just ran right into a wall. Trix was quite lanky and petite so she fell over quite easily. Falling back on her butt, her tin of mints hitting the ground and scattering everywhere, She let out a squeak like noise as she hit the ground and glance around, picking up the remaining mints in the tin and said a soft apology again "s-sorry" She was on her knees not really looking at the poor girl she just ran into.

Katia
Hearing Taiji had not seen Mio made Katia look at the ground for a moment taking it a sign from fate that today she was not going to find her. Still it also bothered her no one had really talked to Taiji he wasn’t a bad person he was just a little passionate about things.
“Awww, that makes me feel sad for you. You know I’m always happy to talk you to Arita-san. No, Mio doesn’t go on the roof. It’s something about afraid of getting trapped up there if the end of the world comes or something like that. I don’t know I tune her out when she starts talking like that. Ummm so after you’ve done talking to these girl would like to get some lunch with me? Question mark-san you could come to.” Katia stated shrugging to show she didn’t know, wait was the right body sign was that shrug the correct action or did she just throw a mixed signal again. She doubted around Taiji something would happen but giving of mixed signals from her trying to use body language to express herself had led to some unpleasant situations before. Last time it happened Katia had beat crap out of a boy in her class as he started bugging her all the time. It was funny as few knew Katia could box before then but boy learned the hard why Katia could throw a punch and despite her looks could hit pretty hard.

When the other boy spoke up calling Taiji Mister Soulless, Katia felt another spike of anger it feeling calling him soulless was quite uncalled for. Hearing that this boy might have seen Mio Katia looked the boy over once seeing he was smiling as if trying to gain a good first impression. Sadly thought it was too late for this Kaito boy for the moment he called Taiji soulless he made Katia take a minor disliking to him.
“It doesn’t matter now… I’ll have to go find some else to amuse me. But if you must know what she looks like here.” With that done Katia lost interest in the boy her attention going to the other girl who seemed to be ignoring her having not even said anything to acknowledge her questions. Katia thought it was rather rude and it really annoyed her but it didn’t show as usual. The moment the girl asked why Taiji was called a soulless monster Katia was simply stunned the girl didn’t know, given it was within the first few hours of Katia’s time here she had heard several of them.

Still it would be interesting to see how Taiji would react to the question.

Kai was between embarrassment and discomfort, especially when Risu skipped her an through his and they began to walk. He wasn't used to this much attention, but he'd left his umbrella at home, trying to avoid his grandfather.
"This thing is huge" he said, stating up at it.
"And strong," Risu responded with a grin. "It's reenforced so it doesn't get turned inside out."
He nodded, "sounds like a weapon."
She shook her head and they headed back inside, depositing the weapon to try off and changing their shoes for their indoor one.
Head inside for lunch, Kai found the corridor rather full of conversion. He walked faster, Risu having let goof him when they'd gotten inside. He saw good who thought themselves hard chatting away to girls.
"Wait," Risu said, and he realised he'd been too hasty and Risu had fallen behind.
He wanted for her to catch up and they headed to their home room to eat lunch. Kai had no intention of sharing Risu's company.

Katia

“It doesn’t matter now… I’ll have to go find some else to amuse me. But if you must know what she looks like here.”

She stated not really wanting to speak to the boy but pulled out a picture of Mio, tossing it to the boy. [+]

With that done Katia lost interest in the boy her attention going to the other girl who seemed to be ignoring her having not even said anything to acknowledge her questions. Katia thought it was rather rude and it really annoyed her but it didn’t show as usual. The moment the girl asked why Taiji was called a soulless monster Katia was simply stunned the girl didn’t know, given it was within the first few hours of Katia’s time here she had heard several of them.

Still it would be interesting to see how Taiji would react to the question.

When Katia answered she just realize she was also talking to her. She opened her mouth about to reply but then she said never mind. She felt really bad about ignoring her, though to be fair she didn't realize that she was talking to her. But then again it's not like everyone was suppose to know her name.

Teiji looked with a strange face then she realize she mumbled that out...in german at least. She looked up and realized that Katie was also still there giving the same look. She turned to her and said "I'm sorry i thought you were talking to someone else. She did a quick bow and replied "are you sure do don't want to get lunch with us?"
She looked back again and saw her friends had moved on. But was Sanger was that a significant amount of people had left the halls too. There was a strange feeling in the air and she didn't like it. "well at least I think Teiji there to help me if something happens, not that I would need it." She thought to herself.

Aura eeped suddenly at the sound of Kazuto greeting and poking her. She turned around and replied "Not much, Kazu-kun." She'd grown to use Japanese honorifics as a matter of necessity, though she still preferred the American, informal way of speaking. "I just wanted to come talk to you over lunch, which I was smart enough to buy early, and found you confessing your love to one of the biggest delinquents in school." She tried to hide the slight disapproval in her tone, and mostly succeeded given how practiced she was at schooling her tone. Of course, she wasn't sure how she felt about him deciding to confess to her in the first place, and the other girl's sound rejection meant that it couldn't have been some long thing that he'd been meaning to say for awhile that they both knew of. No, this was a spur of the moment decision most likely, perhaps him acting on some passion carried over from when they were children? Oh, the results were positively endless!

Oh, so that was it..."You saw that, huh?" He rubbed the back of his head, a nervous habit. Welp...now was as good a time as any to explain exactly why he had said such words. Stoneheart was a pretty girl, but he hadn't even remembered her name...why would he confess love. Although a bit - not that you could see - shocked that Lockheart had come to such conclusion, Kazuto dropped his hand, resting it in his pocket like his other one. "I was reading a love note out loud, not confessing." That felt good to say; secretly, he had been worrying that someone would've heard, and crucified him for getting 'rejected' so soundly. He wasn't the type of guy to say such mushy things, and if he would actually like a girl, he'd just ask them out on a date right then, rather than dragging it out and describing their beauty.

With a sigh, the teenager regained his normal expression, even as his stomach growled rather abruptly. "The rain's still pouring, but we-" He cut himself off as an announcement rang throughout the school, the cold, monotonous tone of the Principal, Kurogane Hazekage, drifting calmly through the speakers.

"Greetings, faculty, staff, and students. Please report to the E-1 Auditorium for an important lecture on the happenings of the school." As short and concise as always, the graying, crimson-haired Principal released the button as soon as he finished, leaving the speakers in silence.

"Damn. I guess we go now." Kazuto sighed, voice slightly annoyed as he began walking down the staircase.

Angelo soon yawned and woke up from his day dreaming not realizing he had fallen asleep looking at the sky. Angelo heard that their was going to be a lecture in the auditorium about important happenings in the school which seemed like an odd way to tell everyone to meet their. If the principal wanted to say something specific he would have said it over the intercom and saved some trouble but him not saying it meant that he wanted everyone in one place so their wouldn't be rumors about what a certain group heard. Angelo got up and put his trash in the trashcan before heading for the auditorium thinking he would get that done then try to speak to a few gaming companies after he finished with his other classes. Right now Angelo was wondering who would join him in the auditorium this time...

Delilah was on her merry way when a girl had managed to bump against her and fall onto the ground. Mints immediately escaped from her small tin can, finally making her realize who it was; Beatrix, that one girl everyone mumbles about occasionally. She was an odd girl, mostly because she only ate... Mints? "So fucking annoying..." Delilah grumbled, her expression turning grim as she stared at the girl from down below, however, her gaze soon turned soft as she extended her hand and sighed. "Sorry little lady, you alright?" She asked, raising an eyebrow as she awaited a reaction.

The intercom suddenly turned on, announcing a speech in the auditorium. "Damn... Not another one of these... Hey, you can stick with me for awhile... Beatrix, right?" The tall young woman decided to take her time with this more fragile girl, she didn't seem to be an enemy, she was far too pure, too kind, too innocent for things like gang fights. For now, she'd at least try to be better behaved around her, until something were to happen of course.

Harvey Estabraq

The brunette sighed in content as he carefully slid his brush down into the water jar.

Somehow, he had managed to take what looked like an explosion of scattered liquefied shit on a canvas, into a masterpiece. In his own eyes, of course. Means to an end, he'd told himself when he started out the painting. It's always about the journey first, then the destination. Harvey's eyes glazed over as he let a cycle of generic Facebook quotes scroll through his mind. This was the normal life of a teenager- those of whom usually have nothing more to worry about than the depreciation of likes on one's status or what people on the interwebs think of them. Netizens are a deadly bunch - you could always count on them to murder one's ego, confidence and self-esteem all in one sentence.

They reacted badly to his first "Tumbler" blog post-- one that explained his life story and current situation, with the unexpected backlash of "wannabe angster" and "fishing for attention" accusations. Naturally, the young boy was clueless as to what he'd done wrong.

But I digress... there was only so much a soldier's child could absorb within the timespan of a week at a new school.

One thing was for sure, though: he HAD to find his pen pal. Spending the rest of his semester alone and sulking was not the way any teenager would have wanted to waste it. Harvey finally, regrettably lifted his seated-for-8-hours, sore ass and peeled the dried paint crust off his sweater vest to head out on his conveniently short journey to the kendo room.

It was like Russian roulette. A game of chance. Harvey widened his steps and quickened his pace as his anxiety grew ever so slightly, along with the excitement that unintentionally made the blood rush to his southern region.

He angled his head downwards and incoherently swore in his dialect.

Abu ayoura.

What the fuck.

No.

NOOO.

Irritated at his reasonably terrible timing, he shrugged it off anyway and ignored the ghostly interweb citizens floating around in his head as he sped up the stairs.

...and then there he was. The blonde boy with crooked glasses in the picture- his pen pal. Slightly tugging his sweater over his raging boner, he crept up to the tiny group that surrounded his long-distance friend.

"H-hello!" Harvey threw up a little in his mouth, afraid of drawing the attention; the notion of getting this all over with was seemingly the best idea at that moment. "Are yo-ou... "crazy4kendo201"?" his voice cracked. So many things could go wrong, but he only prayed to whoever was listening that they would help him get through it.

"Greetings, faculty, staff, and students. Please report to the E-1 Auditorium for an important lecture on the happenings of the school."

OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE

Teiji sighed annoyingly at her asking why he was called what he was. Yet rubbed the back of his head. "Well part of it is because of my hair color. The other is when people say it to me as though I like it." Teiji said a little ashamed but he didn't feel as though he were in the wrong. Katia then spoke to him saying that made her feel sad for him, which was pity yet then said she was always happy to talk to him. His face grew a tad red as he smiled "One of the only ones then and sure lunch sounds awesome." He said with a smile towards her. And a perfect example of how to send him into the soulless monster state, was that kid who laughed at him earlier making the comments. Teiji did indeed glare at him, but also began stomping towards him. "Kaito Amaya huh? You don't listen well to rumors do ya?" Teiji said moving closer with a now more sinister grin plastered on his face. Well at least he had a chance to look at a girl before he got wrecked. Or this random kid calling him some username.

Yet a classic saved by the bell, in this case an announcement Teiji stopped in his tracks and listened to the principals words before groaning. "Well guess Lunch has to wait then. Man first a boring dreary day and then a lecture. Well guess we should go, class is one thing but a important announcement is another." Teiji said as he glared at Kaito one more time before walking towards the auditorium. "Maybe if he finishes quickly, we can still get lunch?" Teiji said smiling over the thought.

Kaito

Catching the photo from Katia, he takes a quick glance at it and remembers that she did see this person strutting about before he enterred the Kendo room for practice. He was about to mention it when he noticed her sour expression and an air of hostility surrounding the girl. A sweat bead drops from his forehead. "Two people are staring me down now, haaah, seems i am not well liked."
Keeping his mouth shut instead, he was about to shrug off the glares that can pierce the soul.
"Kaito Amaya huh? You don't listen well to rumors do ya?" mouthed the red head.
"Well no, not really, but do you mind telling your girlfriend not too glare at me too much, I get shy." Kaito teased.

Then a random brunette stroke through their conversation. He rose an eyebrow to this, narrowing his eyes in an attempt to identify this odd individual.
"H-Hello! Are yo-ou... "crazy4kendo201"?" the stranger said.
"How do you know my old usern-" Kaito almost replied then he sees an odd bump near the strangers nether region, facepalming, he stands in the the way of said 'bulge' so that this odd ball could keep what was left of his dignity.
"Cover that up, Warmonger-san" he whispers to his recognized pen pal friend.

During this ridiculous ordeal, the intercom flicked on and a chilling and nonchalant voice seeped through;
"Greetings, faculty, staff, and students. Please report to the E-1 Auditorium for an important lecture on the happenings of the school."

"Keh, the spar can wait till' later." he thought to himself, as he was walking to the auditorium he looks back and says; "You coming Boner-san?"

Miki finished her meal and cleaned up before heading to her locker to put everything away then was left alone an to her own devices. She'd been attending school here for a year now and still hadn't found a true friend among the angst filled student body here. She had tried, goddess knew she tried but the others were either self centered, creepy or just plain dull.

"Why even come to school if you felt so trapped?"Thought Miki aloud

She heard the principal call assembly an sighed as she spun on her heel and headed to the Auditorium where she found a seat among strangers. She flicked on her phone and relaxed her body to meditate while she waited for the onerous duty of attending this little lecture to kick off and be done with.

Katia

Hearing Taiji agree with idea to have lunch with her made Katia happier beyond imaging… making her quite happy the feeling was trapped inside her as even if she was happy her facial expression didn’t even twitch slightly.
“I’m happy to hear that Arita-san, I was meant to eat with Mio but she pulled her trademark disappearing act. I’ll have to use her as punching bag later for ditching me."she stated forcing a small smile on her face although it came out look a little deformed as smiling was something Katia rarely did. Out of spite Katia completely ignored the other girl as she said sorry, only looking at her for a moment as she offered for her to have lunch with her and her friends Katia simply shook her head as she didn’t want eat with someone that had annoyed her. Still if Taiji decided to go she’d would more than likely have change of heart.

It was then Katia heard Taiji speak to this Katio person looking over at the boys watching with intrest as Taiji moved closer to Katio. Part of Katia wanted to see Katio get beaten up, given his frist impression to her was that he was an ass and his comment about her glaring at him only confirmed that.
“I’m not his girlfriend and I can’t glare at people you asshole.”Katia stated in her defence a little too quickly as the comment flustered Katia a little… dam her crush why did it mess with her head so. It was then she heard the announcement for everyone to go to the E-1 Auditorium for “important” lecture. Seeing Taiji walking off towards the auditorium Katia quickly followed walking alongside him. While walking along side he she kept a small but slightly noticeable gap between them almost like she was trying to not be too close to him.

Hearing Taiji say if the lecture was quick they could still grab lunch Katia nodded once liking the idea and more than willing to agree to it.
“Yeah that sounds good. But I wonder what this is about. Didn’t we just have an important” lecture the other day? Seems weird for that wind bag principle to hold another so soon.”she said hoping the lecture would be quick given she was hungry and had no food on her, plus there was another reason.

@SaekoGami

Delilah was on her merry way when a girl had managed to bump against her and fall onto the ground. Mints immediately escaped from her small tin can, finally making her realize who it was; Beatrix, that one girl everyone mumbles about occasionally. She was an odd girl, mostly because she only ate... Mints? "So fucking annoying..." Delilah grumbled, her expression turning grim as she stared at the girl from down below, however, her gaze soon turned soft as she extended her hand and sighed. "Sorry little lady, you alright?" She asked, raising an eyebrow as she awaited a reaction.

The intercom suddenly turned on, announcing a speech in the auditorium. "Damn... Not another one of these... Hey, you can stick with me for awhile... Beatrix, right?" The tall young woman decided to take her time with this more fragile girl, she didn't seem to be an enemy, she was far too pure, too kind, too innocent for things like gang fights. For now, she'd at least try to be better behaved around her, until something were to happen of course.

She shoved her mints back into the waistband of her skirt. Then glanced up to catch the girls mouth moving. It took her a second to realize that she couldn't hear the girl over her music, so she quickly pulled her headphones down around her neck and heard the last bit of the announcement and then the girl speak again. Beatrix tilted her head as the girl offer for Beatrix to tag along. This was a first, and Trix had to try and figure out whether it was a joke or not, But she may of skipped classed but never assembly's.

She smiled to the girl, her wide pale blues a bit less manic and a bit more happy. She nodded "O-Ok that would be fun" Her accent was still very much there, but she was at least audible. She knew this girl, not well but she had seen her around and while talking people had heard stuff about her "Yes....I am Beatrix, you are Delilah yes?" She had heard that this girl was kinda mean and quick to fight, but they she seemed like the only nice person Beatrix had ran into.

Anselma began to relax around Teiji the more she figured him out. She opened her mouth to say something but he turned and started to close in on this guy, Kaito she thinks. She tense up like she was about to a shark close in and kill its prey. Just before he threw a punch the bell rang and a announcement was made to head to the auditorium for a lecture.

She looked back once more for her friends but as she suspected they were not there, and the crowd started to move in the direction of the auditorium. "i hope that you guys don't mind me tagging along?" She asked the group, but focused the question at Teiji for approval. They had already started walking so she did a little jog to catch up.

"Yup, Delilah is my name. Let's go." The young girl waved her hand and began walking down the hallway. She shoved her hands into her pockets and glanced over her shoulder, making sure Beatrix was close behind. Though Delilah did skip class, she made sure to at least show up to assemblies just for the heck of it. Assemblies were a great way to sleep and catch up on her rest, and the more rest she got that better her mood would be.

She didn't know why she invited the girl along with her, but it was probably because of how upset and apologetic Beatrix was when she bumped into her. Delilah didn't want to cause a tear-jerker, especially if that someone was a delicate little lady. It was a man's code of honor-Well, including Delilah-, to never let a woman down, to never ruin a woman's sanctity.

Delilah pulled a hand out of her pocket and clenched her fists as she had imagined a flock of women surrounding her. "I am a true gentlewoman..." She whispered, feeling quite victorious with how calm she was around the smaller girl.
