'John' merely raised his eyebrow a little as the girl who had been up on the roof moments ago seemed to... swagger off after flirting with him? Ves wasn't one hundred percent sure if that was what was actually going on. He wasn't exactly a master of human interaction to begin with and John didn't make things better; John never made anything better. Deciding to label the mystery of the daredevil teenage girl as something to look at later if he had never better to do, he mentally shoved it into a box and pushed it to the side as he focused back on the fight and the developing aftermath.

He had to admit, he had picked up a whole lot more respect for the kid with the 1970 Camaro. Not everyone would have stepped up and offered to help like he did... and the reaction of the boy who had been involved in the fight to this assistance to his female counterpart raised some red flags; While he didn't know what their relationship with each other might have been, it seemed rather controlling... possibly even abusive. He was going to have to keep an eye on them from here on out because this was only going to cause trouble somewhere down the line and if he couldn't cut it off at the knees before things went south, he wanted to have an idea about how bad things were going to get so he knew how far away he needed to be to avoid that mess.

Turning to look at Eric again, John shook his head a little with a chuckle as he said "You know if this is just a taste of all the drama that people are going to bring with them this year, I'm betting that the school play is going to be absolutely amazing."

@Bright_Ops@Caits@RainbowFactory

Nice meeting you Jo- Ashtoreth was dumbfounded at the roof girl who...flirted with john? W-what just...What happened? Ash was nothing but confused. He then noticed the people near the benches... throwing each other around? It's the first day...The first day. And people are fighting like damn dogs and are already flirting left and right? If this is the way it will be, I'm almost afraid of the day that play comes around. Think they'll just deny that drama when it comes? I bet they'll just go from a "play" to the "real deal" at this point. Ash said as he dropped his hand that shook John's. High school girls. Just...Away with them all. He remarked in a low tone. What about you? Anything already pushing you over as well?

@RainbowFactory
As soon as Lucidian starts to move Jacob is on guard, his fists that were half clenched now form fists and come up in front of his chest. His feet spreading slightly as he adopts a classic fighting stance. Ready and more than willing to fight, but it is not yet necessary as he just snatches the Jennifer away. His face however is still set into a grim line it is clear if he goes to hurt the girl again there will be no idly standing by any longer.

"Yeah I think it would be best if you came with me, even if it is just to get patched up. You don't want to have blood all over you when you get to your first class."

His voice is rather impassive when he speaks even if it is laced with hints of anger at the situation he has seen. And then Lucidian decides he just has to speak up. Jacob slowly eases out of his stance even though his body is obviously still tightly coiled and ready for combat. He smirks as he looks down at the angel lying on the ground below him, one of his canines hooking over his lip before he speaks.

"You may be roughly as tall as i am but i must have ten to fifteen kilos on you. And when i fight people they tend not to be girls that are smaller than I am. I don't think you want to start this fight with me. As much as i would love to beat the face in of someone seems to enjoy hurting girls."

He waits for a moment to see if the boy will react violently before he turns to Jennifer, his hands slowly unclenching until they hang normally by his sides. He really would not prefer to fight now, he is almost one hundred percent sure he would win. But he is acutely aware of the concealed weapons he is carrying that he would like to stay concealed. And fights if there are anything are messy, and there is no telling what might happen. He makes a visible effort to calm himself, one of his hands running through his hair causing it to become even messier than it already was. He turns his startlingly blue eyes to Jennifer again.

"Grab your bag and lets go. It won't take much to patch you up. A quick wash a couple of steri strips and a bandage and you will be good to go. Should only take a few days to heal."

@seriousarmour
Both of them start to smirk at the stance and threats the boy formed, Lucidian's expression more clear due to the side of Jen's mouth simply turning up, his going into full teeth showing. "Enjoy hurting girls? Oh boy. You have a lot to learn about us before you think I'm the abusive one between us," he tells him in a snotty tone on purpose. That made the girl mad easily, raising a leg and bashing it at one of his knees. He clenched his teeth as a loud mix of a pop and cracking sound came from it, like it was either broken inwards by much more force than the girl looks like she could have, or it simply managed to pop his knee. It caused him to drop the backpack and lurch forwards, his knee at least fine enough to bend again as he held it while still smiling. "I sacrificed myself to prove my point," Luke groaned as he buried his face into his knee. Of course he'd plan to anger her just to give an example, both of them knowing Lucas was the one that would more likely hesitate before hurting people. Plus the girl just had more power when getting angry and does much more than a cut.

Jennifer didn't seem amused one bit. Her expression darkened as she bent down on one knee to grab her backpack while leaning into Lucidian's ear. "Look, I don't want to get a bad reputation before school even started. That's your job and fighting in public isn't part of either our lists. If you do anything major then they might figure it out," she whispered in a very low volume into his ear so nobody could hear it. He shivered after she pulled away like he was actually afraid of her, or maybe just something else that she mentioned. Possibly both. Nobody could tell with those two.

She stood upright and used her clean arm to put the backpack onto her shoulder, turning back to the older looking boy with a more relaxed body. "Y'know, he's not wrong. When I first met him I broke one of his ribs so..." Jennifer admit and made an awkward chuckle while rubbing the back of her neck with her clean hand. "Lets just quickly go before he yells at us that he was right." Lucidian was about to raise his hand to do just as she said but Jen was already speed walking out of the courtyard to the parking lot.

After a few moments of Luke keeping his arm up he realized the girl already ran off, turning that hand into a fist then suddenly pointed to the boy. "In all seriousness here, if you do anything to her even I wouldn't do, I'm tearing you apart," he growled as his tone was completely different compared to his more childish voice. Soon he got up easily onto his feet - like he was never hurt at all - but slowly walked back to the bench and plopped down onto his stomach.

@Blizz@RainbowFactory@seriousarmour

'John' was about to answer Eric when he noticed something that made whatever passed for blood in Ves's veins run cold with paranoid fear. The girl had kicked the boy in the knee rather hard; More then enough to at the very least dislocate it and should have done so if he was any judge of such things. But it didn't. The boy just continued on as if nothing strange had happened at all.

Ves had tried so hard to make sure that his departure from hell would not be noticed... at least not by anyone important enough to give enough of a damn to ask any questions or send someone up to find answers, but there had always been that 'What if' nested in the back of his mind that worried him to the core; That kept him looking over his shoulder every day.

The boy might not even be a demon, he could be an angel for all he knew! Why?! Why did he have to attempt to say that prayer the pastor on tv was saying on Sunday? Sure he had intentionally mumbled it and said it wrong in order to avoid actually catching God's attention to avoid this situation, but maybe all that did was jumble the signal and force them to send some eyes and ears on the ground to scout out the area for him!

Or... maybe he was just seeing things and jumping to conclusions? Sure paranoia could be a benefit if people really were out to get you, but there was such a thing as too much right? Right?

Shaking his head to refocus on Eric,'John' answered. "Huh? Sorry, could you repeat the question? I got a bit distracted. Not used to having girls flirt with me, you know?" He tried to pass off with a nervous little laugh.

@RainbowFactory @Kidd

Jacob clearly has no more time for the fallen angel already turning away to head to his car before Lucidian decides to continue speaking. Then Jennifers foot connects with the mans knee before he can do so much as move to stop it, a loud popping cracking noise coming from the joint. He turns to look at the girl in slight shock, she either really knows what she is doing, is stronger than she looks or she caught it just right. And none of those choices sound particularly reasonable.

He almost moves to stop her as she goes forward to retrieve her bag, but then he decides better of it. He clearly does not understand the exact nature of just what the hell is going on here. So for now he will treat the girls wounds and stop anyone here from killing each other. At least for now.

He grins slightly as the girl speaks to him again his sense of humor not lost because the boy in front of him is apparently rather wounded. Afterall the guy is an asshole.

"Yeah i understand why you would have done that the first time you met him. I have only met him once and i already want to do much worse things to him."

Jacob turns as the girl moves away quickly towards the car park and his waiting car with the first aid kit ready to use sitting under the passengers seat. He looks back over his shoulder at the fallen angel, his face looking like a storm is contained just beneath his skin. His eyes looking like a violent storm, filled with almost inhuman rage.

"Like i said. You can try. But i am starting to get a sense that not many people would miss you. So keep pressing your luck. And we will see which one of us gets ripped apart.

He only catches the last part out of the corner of his eye as he heads back towards his car, the man who by all rights should be unable to move on what looked to be at the minimum a dislocated knee springs to his feet like there was never anything wrong. Jacobs hand moves unconsciously to where his knife is hidden in his jacket before he shakes his head. He is almost certain now, that is enough. There is something wrong with that guy. Now he just needs to figure out exactly what it is so he can neutralize the threat.

He breathes deeply and forces the adrenaline surging through his body down, the tremors running through his muscles causing him to tremor slightly before he can bring his body fully under control. His breath trembles along with his body, and it takes everything he has to turn his back on something he now believes to be some kind of monster and walk away.

And then there is another problem. If he is a suspected monster, then just what is she. He moves back to his car and unlocks it before pulling out his medical kit from under the passengers seat. It is a large kit and clearly very well stocked. He moves over to Jennifer before reaching up to touch her face tenderly. He turns her head from side to side to get a proper look at her wound before he gets to work, taking the opportunity to give her a once over for any telltale signs of the more common monsters he has run into or heard of. He gets to work before he speaks again, breaking out the cleaning fluid and steri strips as well as a simple adhesive bandage.

"So it looks like you two guys have some history huh?"

He turns his head for a moment to look back towards the courtyard, his eyes scanning the milling students for Riddley. Hoping to flag her down when he is done. He was feeling good about that for a second before all of the drama started up.

@seriousarmour
Lucidian winced slightly when the boy said that not many people would miss him, rolling over onto his side towards the wall. He wasn't wrong at all. Jennifer was the only person he knew that would truly care about him at this point, but to other people they look like they hate each other to the bone. Jennifer didn't want to explain why she broke his ribs either. She wasn't even the one that officially did it. If she tried to say that some crazy, almost literally frothing-at-the-mouth beast controlled her to attack Lucas, then they'd both be dead. It's not like that would do much to those beasts that were attached to her body. They'd just tear humanity both physically and mentally faster than Lucidian could get people to hate him. And what happened recently already showed how fast that could happen.

Jennifer's eyes watched the boy's movements as he went over the car. She was waiting right next to it when she remembered that he stepped out of it. She winced slightly as he touched her face and moved her head around, looking uncomfortable while gritting her teeth. "Y-y'know, you're the only person that would actually bother standing up to Luc- Lucas like that. He's the only one that has permission to touch me at all without needing consent," she grumbled.

She focused more on his question now that he asked, sighing while making sure not to move her face too much. "Yeah, we're pretty close actually. Maybe a little too close but y'know. I didn't mean to break his ribs on purpose when I first met him by the way. I just got- I guess you could say startled? He's usually a gigantic, cuddly teddy bear with me and doesn't mean to hurt me like this. We've had times worse than just this though."

@seriousarmour@RainbowFactory

What Riddley had brushed off, Jacob went ahead and interfered with the two students. She had stuck around long enough to watch him settle it peacefully, even though the other male was practically kicking and screaming. And who wouldn't be, after having their leg almost broken. She offered a thumbs up at Jacob as he retreated with her to his car to patch the girl up. Instead of following, however, she leaned against the bench the other male had taken refuge on. "That looks painful. How you doing?" she asked curiously, cocking an eyebrow at him. Already, the day had been..full of excitement. She wasn't enjoying it; Riddley would have preferred the commotion at least wait until after lunch. The thought had her stomach growling already--it's what she got for skipping breakfast.

@Bright_Ops

Ashtoreth brushed the scene of the two future UFA fighters aside and repeated his question to john. Anything here other than...those fine messes get under your skin already? Anything over the top pushing it's luck? Ash said in hopes that johns answer would hint at any supernatural activity. Something like 'My car stalled and started back up' could have been enough. But then again this guy could have been a normal mortal going to school, or a decorated, honored hunter for all he knew. He wasn't sure what to expect currently so Ash figured this would be the best way to at least get a clue on what could be happening this year. "Who knows, maybe he saw that roof girl sprout horns." He thought in his head for a brief moment before awaiting Johns response

@Kidd
The boy rustled around a little then rolled onto his back, looking up to the girl. She was the same one that got some people's attention from the roof until he started fighting with Jennifer. She asked him about his leg - which he actually forgot about - and if he was alright or not. Luke sighed while rubbing his face with a hand, both of his knees perfectly bent to fit his entire body on the bench. Lucas didn't look like he was in the mood right now but told her, "Yeah, I'm fine, really. I guess it just popped my leg that had to settle for a moment before I could walk again." He made a convincing lie while talking to her without having to pause and think of what to say. What, was Lucidian supposed to say, "Oh, I'm just a former angel and have a basic form healing powers so I just healed my broken knee."? If he even did as little as hint what he really was, all he could think of was his life flashing before his eyes because of Jen beating him to pulp.

A shiver ran up his spine as he thought of the possibilities of what could happen, but quickly pushed it out of the way by looking over to Jennifer. She was having a conversation while letting the boy patch her up, and he still didn't look too happy about the pair. He looked back to the girl with him and asked, "So, why'd a chick like you bother to ask how little ol' troublemaker me is doing, huh?"

@RainbowFactory

"Oh?" Riddley mused in response to his excuse for his dandy leg. She left it that, crossing her arms as she contemplated his answer. To her--and unknowingly to her--and to Jacob, that was a little fishy. Though there was little to nothing she could do about it in that moment, so she only nodded, watching the other student boredly. Even when she was doing nothing, it was typical of Riddley to be keeping an eye on her environment.

Then, the boy asked her a question, bringing a small scowl to her face. "A chick like me?" she repeated. "What's that mean? You know what--whatever." She shrugged and looked to him. "I was just wondering if you'd need help limping to the nurses office. But I'm Riddley. Who are you?" The other student was handsome and had the most breathtaking eyes: a pale, icy blue, but when he stood, Riddley was taller and she was hoping he had been a student for a while. Maybe he could help her find what she was looking for.

@Kidd @RainbowFactory

When he looked back he did not expect to see Riddley heading towards the Lucidian, then again the boy for a brief moment did appear to be badly wounded. Even if he seems to have the recovery time of a looney toons character. He nods to her when she throws him s thumbs up before he goes back to his task of patching Jennifer up. A task he appears very practised and efficient with.

"Well no one should really touch anybody else without consent. I mean usually that get thrown out of the window when it comes to good friends and the like but..."

He shrugs his shoulders as he finishes patching up the wound. It looks neat and almost professional, though it was not a hard job. He takes half a step back to admire his work before he packs up his medical kit and returns it to the car. He pulls a water bottle out from somewhere and squirts it over his hands washing of what little blood that had ran over his hands.

"Well you might want to tell him to watch his step around here. Even if like you say he is normally a big cuddly teddy bear. More people than just me were looking at him like they were going to deal with it. And if i see anything like that happen again i will not be so nice the second time around. Some people only learn their lessons if they are delivered in a certain way. And I cannot tolerate someone hitting a girl, not even if she seems remarkably ok with it."

He shakes the water from his hands and turns back towards the school courtyard.

"It is probably about time we start heading in and find out just what the hell is going on this year."

@Blizz

'John' politely shook his head. "Apart from the heightened level of aggression that this school year appears to have started off with? Not really no." was the only answer that Ves felt even remotely comfortable about giving; It was mostly true anyway. For all he knew the potential supernatural thing he had seen that wasn't himself might have simply been a figment of his own paranoid imagination.

Shaking his head a little as he allowed himself to smile warmly, 'John' decided to add "I'll admit that a year ago I... wasn't in a healthy place mentally. But over the holidays I found something to believe in that has really helped bring me out of that darkness and I'm looking forward to this year with optimism for a change." Turning his head to look at the school building, he took a deep breath as he asked "So who do you think is going to be in your class this year?"

@Kidd@seriousarmour
"Riddley huh? Can I just call you Riddles or something? And I'm Lucas. Oh, and so you don't have to ask, the friend of mine that I apparently 'hurt' and is getting help over there is Jennifer." He motioned over to her that was being inspected by the boy. One of his eyes would twitch slightly but he kept any commentary in, keeping silent until he got a response from Riddley.

Jennifer really was tempted to tell Jacob what was going on, why she was fine with all of this, but simply told him, "Maybe I'll explain to you later. I don't want you to waste your time continuing to lecture me. No offense." Her eyes shifted upwards as if trying to see the bandaging, lightly pressing it with her fingers. "At least you know what to do..." She slowly started to walk over to Lucidian and Riddley on the bench without saying another word, Luke bolting upright then scrambling to his feet. Jennifer made a squeak when Lucas suddenly picked her up around her waist, holding her over her shoulder.

"Did he do anything to you? Did he check you out or anything? Did he touch more than your damn wound? I'll help you with it later, tell me tell me!" he growling, but Jen was busy whining and pounding on his back with her fists. He didn't seem to acknowledge it at all, both of them now going on with Luke's questions and Jennifer yelling at him to put her down.

@Kidd @RainbowFactory

"Yeah well i have had alot of practice patching people up luckily. Or not so luckily suppose it depends how you look at is.

He shakes his head slightly, and follows half a pace behind as they head back towards Riddley and Lucidian. He idly scratches the side of his head as he walks before he pulls out his phone and checks the time, cycling through a couple of notifications on his phone before he slips it back into his pocket.

He pulls up just short of the others and crosses his muscular arms across his broad chest, even if most of his muscles are hidden bbbehind his thick leather jacket he still looks like a rather large guy. He shakes his head as he watches the guy launch into another tirade, he seems more bemused then angry right now but that is liable to change at the flip of a coin.

"Are you actually psychotic? We were gone for all of about five minutes and you are acting like you saw my slip a pill into her drink before dragging her out into the back alley. But just so you know I touched everything I could get my hands on. Which was a lot, she didn't really seem to mind. Seems you really aren't enough for her.

Of course none of that is true, and just about everyone here knows it. But this guy is a jerk. And if anything jerks are fun to antagonise.

@seriousarmour @RainbowFactory

"Riddles is fine. My mom calls me that," she admitted with a small laugh and a role of her blue eyes. She uncrossed her arms to greet Jennifer with a nod--though she was quickly swept up by Lucas. And Riddley scowled, standing straight again as the other girl thrashed against his grip. "If she wants down, put her down," Riddley suggested, her voice suddenly low. However, she wasn't given much time to say or do much else before they were rejoined by Jacob.

She sighed, already exhausted by the fighting as he antagonized the other male at Jennifer's expense. She thought he liked to break fights up, not start them. "Dude, chill!" she snapped. It was directed at both of the boys, and she scowled at them pointedly.

@Bright_Ops

Ashtoreth looked john straight in the eyes and spoke. That is good to hear, that really is. Sometimes all someone really needs is just a foot in the door to swing it open. He then lightened the mood just a bit. I should know........'cause I'm often to lazy to raise my hand to the door. He said in a tone that went from sincere to humorous, Ash was just that way. Something serious comes up? Leave it to him to keep going. I cant really say much more since I've never experienced anthing particularly grim in my life. It'd be nice to know how the people who do feel though, then I could probably help them more. He paused to catch his breath. You're the only person I know here so I don't think I can tell who will or wont be in my class. You had better like I hope?

@seriousarmour@Kidd
Lucidian whipped his head towards Jacob with the expression like he was prepared to murder somebody using his bare hands: eyes wide with a glare staring through his soul, the edge of his mouth twitching as if he wanted to start biting like a wild animal. Nobody from the school has seen this look on his face so far. Jennifer has seen it many times before, but for completely different reasons - to literally kill or at least attack things. She never even saw it when they were having their 'play fight'. The only reason why she could tell he was doing that face because she was slowly crawling down to his torso at a more comfortable position, and how much his body was starting to tense up when getting ready for a legit smackdown.

When realizing that Jen was now in his arms, he tightened his grip and adjusted her around so her legs were hooked around his waist, much like a baby animal holding onto its mother. She didn't seem to care by this but was giving Riddley the look of hatred now. If somebody was going to tell Lucas to calm down, it was going to be her. It was clear they had different ways to express how they were attached to each other, Luke just doing more physical actions. The things in Jennifer's mind and how she was secretly imagining death scenes to 'certain people' started to create a faint glow of red from her brown eyes.

Lucas was quick to notice, casually using one arm on the back of her head and burying her face in his chest. Again, she didn't care about how close he wanted her to be just to protect her - she was just starting to trigger something in her head that Jennifer definitely did not want to bring up on the first day of school. Fortunately, students were starting to prepare themselves to enter the building, causing Jennifer to completely drop out of Lucidian's grip to grab his and her backpack to escape the drama. He'd hold onto the back of her shirt while speed-walking away so they didn't have to hear or say anything else.

Jacob just crosses his arms and takes a step back, looking towards Riddley. There is obviously still anger in his face that he obviously tries to suppress it. "Sorry but this guy gets to me. He is short of a giant asshole." He shrugs his shoulders and turns slightly as he notices people starting to enter the school buildings in a trickle that turned into a flood.

"Looks like it is time for us to start heading inside, guess this is the classic saved by the bell. He runs his hands through his hair and turns towards the tide of students, striding to join it. Looks like it is time to get into the grind.

"It's fine, I guess," Riddley said to Jacob, watching the strange pair walk away. Jacob had been the lesser of the three problems in her eyes, but she suddenly felt exhausted. It was too early in the morning to deal with drama like this and she was hoping day one would be a lot more lax. "Oh well," she mused aloud. Then she turned to follow Jacob toward the building, her blue eyes flickering about. Her steps were lazy but her movements a little jittery, as if relaxed but alert.

---

Candy, however, had been instead throughout the ordeal. Her flock was still gathered around her locker and would be for minutes after the bell rang. She was indulging the girls in petty gossip and fashion advice, but--in all honesty--she felt herself growing exhausted. Maybe this body was a mistake, she thought, resisting to roll her eyes as Karen spouted off some nonsense about pastels in the fall being completely unnacceptable. [color=lightpink][i]Sure, this body has a direct line into the student population, blatant power over most of it, and it's sexy as hell,[i][/color] her thoughts continued, But I really don't care, Karen.

Admittedly the following stunt was unnecessary and badly timed as students were starting to pour into the school. The locker beside Karen suddenly blew open, the door smacking the poor girl in the face. The surprised prep fell back on her ass, crying in pain and surprise. Candy had to refrain from busting out laughing and the rest of the flock waited for her to look concerned before tending to poor Karen. "Oh my gosh, that was weird, are you okay?"
