Aiden slowly opened his eyes.
What just happened? As far as he could tell, there was a random fainting spell, one that physically speaking was a bit unnatural. Aiden was a very healthy person, and there was no medical condition that should cause him to faint, and he wasn't overheated or anything. With a quick mental check over himself, Aiden concluded that yes, he was still healthy. Then what had caused the fainting?
Making sure that there was nothing off about him, Aiden quickly recalled his actions. He was in front of Unity Academy as a bundle of nerves and hesitation. He had arrived a bit too early for comfort, and he was awkwardly hanging out by the entrance. But he began to get paranoid about the weird looks that he was no doubt receiving, so he had gathered up his courage to step into the school. Then... Nothing.
Did he really faint then? And why was he in this auditorium? Now didn't seem like the time to ask though, people seemed riled up for some reason.
Not that anything was wrong with that, the panicked atmosphere in the area was almost enough to bring a smile to his face. It seemed that he would have a few injuries to tend to. Not that anything was wrong with that either.
Aiden was a little excited, looking forward to the life here. Being a bit dense, he didn't immediately grasp the unnatural, scary part of the situation. But he was a doctor, and there was nothing more he loved than to treat his patients.
Jinx Arcane actually felt excited for once, stepping up to the school. Unity Academy... It truly looked very formidable, and possibly even a little daunting. Still, what was there to fear? She was confident in her abilities, there was nothing that could prevent her from living life to the fullest--whether they be at the prestigious school, or elsewhere. It would be arrogant to admit that she was expecting an invitation to enroll at this school, but in truth, it wasn't completely unexpected. If they didn't accept Jinx, what kind of Super High School Level students were they hoping for?
Gazing up at the building, she felt anticipation, that bundle of nerves that accompany a new school year... All strange, foreign emotions for the normally stoic girl. Could it be that she was looking forward to this? Of course she was. For the first time, she'd be surrounded by people in the same caliber as her. Hopefully they won't be as boring as the mundane people she's constantly surrounded by.
With a quick wave of her hand, a white dove appeared, perched upon her finger, seemingly out of nowhere. Where did that dove come from? Nobody knows... "Are you excited as well?" Jinx murmured, stroking the dove's head. After she was met with a croon presumably in agreement, Jinx gave a nod with a small smile. "I am too..." With another wave of her hand, the dove disappeared--again, into nothingness.
Smoothing down her skirt and brushing her hair back, Jinx took a moment of two to prepare herself both mentally and physically. Something different was waiting for her behind these doors. She just knew it. What kind of people would she meet and befriend behind these walls? What more knowledge would she gain? What success would she receive?
With high hopes, Jinx stepped forward. As her high heeled boot entered the school, everything grew dim....
With a small groan, Jinx stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open. She eased herself into a sitting position as her senses slowly came into focus. The first thing that came to mind was the noise. It was awfully noisy, a complete cacophony of disagreement and panic. As her mind became clearer, Jinx's sharp mind quickly took in everything. The cause for panic and chaos... It was painfully obvious.
It was simply the lack of common sense and survival tactics. People didn't know what was going on, so they took out that unease and frustration out on each other. It was a boringly simple stage of denial, so boring that Jinx had to stifle a mental yawn. Were these her classmates? So, so menial.
As she stood up and straightened herself out, Jinx glanced over everything with a blank expression. Of course, she was indeed puzzled by their current situation, and like the others, wanted nothing more than an explanation. But the actions of the people around her deemed her unable to wonder, mostly because well... The chaos was obviously unnecessary, and any attempts at order were swatted away. Was this the path that everyone wanted to take? Highly unlikely, yet still predictable.
Jinx chuckled. What else was there to do? Despite that chuckle being a relatively quiet one, it echoed throughout the auditorium, much more loudly that it should be. How did this happen? It was a simple trick really, one that Jinx used to command attention. Normally, even in a crowd at her shows, that echoing chuckle would be enough to render everyone silent. Jinx was confident that she could focus the attention on herself to quell some of the chaos.
"You are all so naive..."
It was time to bring some order into this place.
