[IC] Don't let me drown (open for more characters)

[MonsieurShade]

"-Yes I know you don't like being in the hood all day, but I can't rightly have you out and about, that'd cause trouble with the teachers. Look, behave yourself and i'll see if I can get hold of a ripened banana when we go to lunch. I'll even buy you a mango or two on the way home.". Where anyone actually to take note of him, some would consider Dimitri to be a boy of rather peculiar mind. He was standing by wall a bit away from many of the others, an action that wasn't odd in an on itself. However, the same could not be said of talking to oneself, which is what Dimitri seemed to be doing at first glance. A few other teens casted sideways glances at Dimitri as he continued to rabble on an on with what they assumed to either be thin air or voices in his head, however, were one of them actually willing to get close they would likely hear a faint sound, somewhere between a croak and a squeak, emanating from the hood of his jacket. Dimitri craned his neck to try and get a peek at the creature inside and smiled softly, "Some tomato worms? Eh, sure. It's the first day so we'll splurge a little at the pet store on the way home, but you've gotta promise to behave. That means no biting people.". The hood vibrated a bit, then lay still before a soft 'tek' noise came from within, "'Atta girl Minty.".

Sera saw the odd boy talking to himself and then walked over and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him into the conversation. "You shall no longer talk to your jacket!" She exclaimed as she practically dragged him. For her lanky structure, Sera was actually pretty strong. Not overly so that it was too noticble. But she was strong enough to pull people around given the determination.

Henry walked by, scratching his butt and eating a Milky Way.

[MonsieurShade]

"Wait, i'll no longer wha-" Dimitri started to turn his head and respond to the person that seemed to be directing their comment towards him only to be cut off mid-setence by a persistent tugging on his arm. His left brow raised a bit as he was dragged by the girl who had his arm locked in her grip. Dimitri considered resisting, however his curiosity was piqued. Well, that, and the girl was pretty goddamn strong for her appearance. After he and Sera came to a stop in front of another girl, Dimitri took a moment to brush one of his dreads behind his right ear before he opened his mouth to speak "Uh...hi?".

[Doc Doctor]

Henry stopped in front of Dimitri after having finished his candy bar. He smacked his pudgy lips, nodded to himself, bent over, and began grunting loudly as his face turned red. A moment later he straightened back up and reached into the seat of his pants, pulling out the Milky Way bar which was now intact again. He took a bite and walked down the hall.

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri's brows shot up at as his brain took a moment to process what he'd just witnessed. "Huh. Not the first place i'd chose to store food, but to each his own I guess. Dude's gonna get sick if he just leaves food in his pants unwrapped like that before he eats it." He mused aloud to no one in particular.

[Im a huge mess]

"Yeah. I'm Serah by the way and this girl is Yasmin. I'm a memory freak. What about you?" She grinned widely. Clearly she liked to get to know people. Actually more of talking to people...or at. Whichever worked was good to her.

[carla6677]

Yasmin nodded when her name was mentioned

[MonsieurShade]

"Huh, wha-oh, names." Dimitri said as he pried his attention away from the chubby red headed boy. It took Dimitri a few seconds for the words that he'd heard to properly reach his ears, but when they did so Dimitri responded with a friendly nod and a curst smile, "Sorry, got caught up in whatever that guy was- eh, never mind. I'm Dimitri. Nice to meet you guys. Er, what was that about memory freak?". Dimitri was completely clueless as to the abilities of the other students, and to a further extent the nature of the school as a whole. As far as he and his parents were aware he'd simply been sent to a school that catered to children that required alternative teaching methods to cater to students with different skill sets and learning styles.

"I'm a memory freak. I can remember anything. Literally. I don't forget ANYTHING. What can you do except zone out?" She tilted her head slightly.

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri whistled a single drawn out note to express his impression. He wasn't quite sure whether or not to actually believe that one could literally remember every detail, however given what he was capable of the boy had learned to take everything with a grain of salt. Serah's somewhat quirky nature was rapidly starting to win Dimitri over, as well as clue him on to the fact that this school wasn't quite as normal as he thought it to be, "Well, I can wrestle, i'm pretty good at rock climbing, and I like to think I play a mean bass guitar." he began, rattling off talents that were fairly mundane in nature. Dimitri trailed off as he started to think that wasn't quite was Serah meant, and debated telling her about his more unique gift. The girl seemed open minded enough that she might believe him, "There is one other thing. My parents told me not to go talking about this people, but I don't think they actually believe me. I guess they think they're protecting me or something? I dunno.", Dimitri leaned inwards a bit as if to tell a secret, "I can talk to animals. Well, reptiles specifically. Not like just talking at them either, they can actually understand me. I dunno how or why, but I can also understand them.".

Dimitri gave a hesitant grin as he waited to see how Serah and Yasmin would react to what he'd just said. He was fairly certain that they'd probably just call him crazy or something, but something told him that things might not turn out like he figured they would today.

[Im a huge mess]

"Thats so cool!" Sean exclaimed. She bounced up and down slightly. "Was that why you were talking to yourself, because there was a little gecko on the wall? Oh oh! Can you speak to like cats and dogs or just reptiles? And can you command them like an army general?" She kept the glow of questions coming at him fast and constant.

[carla6677]

Yasmin nodded before getting out a book and slowly reading through it

[Im a huge mess]

"Watcha reading there Yasmin?!" She tried to peer into the book

[carla6677]

Yasmin slammed the book shut but had memorized her page. She held it close to her chest. 'It is nothing you would be interested in,' It was a book on vampire magic that can be learned and she was working hard to become as strong as possible and had a second book about the dark vampire magic.

[Im a huge mess]

She frowned. "Awe. Just one itsy bisty glance?" Serah pouted slightly. Begging to look at the book.

[carla6677]

'No,' She growled at her. She put the book in her bag with another book and a bottle. She pulled out the bottle and drank some of it before sighing in relief. 'Just what I needed to get my energy back,' She put the bottle back in her bag. She then pulled out a lemon slice and bit into it before eating it and putting the bag of lemon slices back into her bag. She also had contact lenses in her bag which she put in her eyes before closing her bag and sealing the zip with a lock and hung the key around her neck.

[MonsieurShade]

Dimitri found himself pleasantly surprised with just how quickly Serah had accepted what he'd said. He's sort of figured that she might actually entertain what he'd said, but full on acceptance was definitely a lot better. The rapid fire questions caught the boy off guard, leaving him a bit overwhelmed. By the time Dimitri was actually prepared to answer Serah had switched gears and started prying at Yasmin who was adamant about keeping her book to herself. The fact that Yasmin was determined to keep the book's contents to herself was indeed interesting, however such interest immediately took a backseat to more surprise as the girl put in a pair of contacts after handling a lemon slice of all things, "Um, ow? Doesn't it burn putting those things in with lemon juice on your hands?".

[carla6677]

'Nah, I am used to it as I eat lemon a lot,' She smiled

[Im a huge mess]

"How much exactly do you eat?" Serah frowned slightly. She was still curious about the book but she knew she wouldn't get any answered about that so might as well ask about the lemons.
