Wolfram Grace's Story

The first thing he had done when they'd got into the room, was emit a happy squeal and nearly jump onto Prothero, clinging tightly to him as he looked around the room. It was just perfect, in every sense of the word! Quickly letting go of the other boy, he hopped around the room happily. "Which bed do you want?" he asked, unable to keep the excitement out of his posture or words. After he had gotten his answer, he plopped down on the other bed, rolling around for a moment before sitting back up, clinging to the pillow and shifting so he was crosslegged. Staring- almost in awe -at Thero, he blushed. Seems he finally realized how embarrassing his actions had been, but he promised himself not to mention it or apologize unless his friend said something about it. Maybe Thero just didn't mind too much. "Isn't it just perfect?" he breathed, tearing his gaze away from Thero and glancing around again.

Wolfram grimaced slightly, watching the demon eat with the mouth on his chest. It didn't bother him as much as it had apparently bothered Carrot, but it was still quite disgusting. You would assume he would be used to this, considering just how much and how many of the other species he had seen in just his short lifetime. That was fairly normal though, at least in his opinion. Angels tended to be the unofficial caretakers of everyone. It didn't make them better- no, it was just everything else they did that made them better -than the others though. Perhaps you could say it made them a bit more mature, but even that was false. He knew quite a few Angels in the "cleaning up" profession that he was far more mature than- but he was also more mature than most people.

But none of that really mattered at the present moment, most of his mind was occupied by the amusement of seeing Carrot topple backwards off his bed- pulling nearly everything with him -, and then mild disgust as he watched the demon feed his.. chest. Though the Angel's lips turned up in a slight smirk as an idea came to him, and he chuckled lowly before standing up and making his way nearer Gray, attempting to appear as... sorrowful? as he could. "That looks difficult," he said first, taking a seat at the edge of Gray's bed- only barely able to hold back a grimace. "I'm sure that if you wanted, Carrot and I could help with that." It was an awkward question, but from what he had seen of his new roommate so far, it wasn't something he would really think was stange. Seemed like he would actually be more happy about it then anything. "Right Carrot?" he threw over his shoulder, leaning back a bit so he could twist his torso around enough to see the red haired boy.

Prothero Ender

Prothero blinked and just watched Romeo. He was so happy. He sat on his bed and smiled to himself as he peeked out of the window. The view was decent which pleased Romeo. Prothero looked back at the younger demon and nodded in agreement before opening his wings and laying down. "It is nice..." Prothero smiled to himself it was a faint smile but it was genuine, though he still hopped that Romeo would not see fearing that he would be teased by the younger demon.

Gray Ender

Gray rarely had moments where he was clueless... Those moments were reserved for his sister not for him! But the rare times that such a moment did strike Gray the demon was a bit of an air head. He blinked and threw the brownie into his stomach mouth savoring the taste. "No, No, I can feed myself... Sure it's a little tough cause the angle but I was raised like it so..." Gray blinked. He arched an eye brow at the blob that was Everett. "Umm... Evie? Your not feeling ill are you?" Gray was genuinely concerned and also confused. Gray's chest mouth closed and sealed shut like a door leaving only the thinnest crease where it was once open. He smiled at Wolfram and Everett and decided to try and amused his roommate hopping to take his mind off of whatever was plaguing it. Closing his hand Gray re-opened it a gold ball having appeared. He smirked and closed his hand around the gold again, opening it this time to reveal a nicely golden carved bird. Gray only hopped his odd ability would help change the mood that he did not quite understand.

Juliet Ender

Juliet was still beaming happy as ever when she noticed a boy walk past. He seemed rather lost but acted like he knew the way. Juliet blinked and watched as the boy froze. She walked over and gently tapped the boy on the shoulder. When she was sure she got his attention she beamed a happy smile. "Are you lost?" Juliet smiled, she could tell he was not a human so she wondered what he was. Unlike the other races here Juliet had no way of sensing what race who belonged to, and even some of the people at the school no matter there race could grow confused, Juliet herself had been mistaken for a vampire once because of her large orb like ruby eyes. Juliet gave a gently smile. "Cause if you are I can help~ I'm helping out everyone I can today~ Lot's of new people!" She smiled and clapped her hands together.

Everett was still wrapped up in his blanket, using it as a shield against the monstrous world he'd been stranded in by his so-called "loving" family. His eyes were held firmly shut, a defense mechanism because he wasn't quite in a state to comprehend or deal with what had been presented to him. With it came an intense feeling of isolation that he hadn't quite expected. He was a human surrounded by clueless demons, jerk angels, and who knows what else. Sure, there were probably a few other humans at the school, but he'd yet to meet any of them, and if they were all like Gray's sister, having grown up around this insanity, well, he was plum out of luck because then literally nobody would understand. Sure, he'd felt misunderstood at home, but this- this was a lot worse.

He was tugged out of his bout of self-pity by his newest (taunt)nickname. Really? The angel was still going with Carrot? Somewhere inside, Everett couldn't help but be offended for two different reason. One, the nickname was embarrassing and insulting, and, two, his hair was much redder than a carrot, thanks. More of a cherry or strawberry color. The minute the thought passed through his mind, he vowed never to say it out loud- somehow, being called cherry would be even worse than carrot.

Still huddled up in a ball, he was able to really just listen to his two insane roommates. Well, apparently Wolfram wasn't above a little manipulation if it meant harassing the resident human. Maybe Gray was oblivious to it, well, definitely oblivious to it given his reply, but Everett could recognize the angel's disgustingly fake attempt at sympathy. And what in the heck was he doing signing up Everett for chest-mouth feeding duties? The thought almost spurred another panic attack. Nope. Nopenopenopenopenopenopenope. Another deep breath. Nooope.

The casual way Wolfram was acting, however, as he proceeded to tease Everett(with an oblivious Gray who had thankfully declined the offer), was enough from him to jerk his blanket-hood off and glare at the angel for a split second before his eye sight went straight back to the floor, eye contact much too awkward for him.

"Nope, uh, nope, I'm fine. Just, ah, um... Yep, just fine," He lied lamely, not even sure what to say. He only lookedup at Gray for a moment to see... a golden bird in his hand? What? What had he missed? Hopefully it hadn't been the chest-mouth spitting the golden bird out(he could have sworn that he'd read that somewhere in the huge books. Whatever had happened, the bird was quite pretty... quite pretty indeed.

"That's, ah, very nice. The bird that is," He struggled on, trying to sweep his embarrassing episode under the bed. It wasn't healthy by a long-shot, tucking away his anxiety and issues, but he was much too introverted to actually confront someone about it, especially someone as nice(probably) and kiddish as Gray.

Gray Ender

Gray grinned. "That's cause I made it... I know I can be a little scary but look look~" Gray folded his hands around the gold once more and concentrated when he opened it once more there was a delicate lily made of gold. "Want me to make you something Evie? Normally the gold is a fools gold... But as you are a friend I shall make an exception for you." Gray smirked and gave a playful wink. "But seriously sorry if I scared away my cute little roommates... It's hard living with a mouth on your stomach but oddly enough I can't eat from my mouth like a normal person..." Gray blushed sheepishly as he traced the very faint line where his mouth was placed before debating whether or not he should put a shirt back on... He probably should or he'd scare Evie and gross out Wolfie... What a shame it is to be a demon sometimes... Though Juliet could probably help him out later with learning the ancient ways of not freaking people out every five seconds.

~ . ~

Juliet Ender

Juliet blinked her orb like ruby eyes at the boy and giggled. "Don't be sorry~ I was really nervous my first year also~ Specially cause I was the first human... BUT!" Juliet spun around. "There's nothing to worry about~" She stopped and wobbled a little before stopping and laughing. "Anyway Il show you around... So please ask me anything you need." Juliet ran about eagerly her long hair trailing behind her. She was going to continue her little jog when she stopped. "Oh yeah~ Name's Juliet Ender." Juliet smiled blissfully. "I get to help out everyone today fun fun~" Juliet was talking to herself this time her eyes closed to the outside world.

Still smiling, Romeo glanced at his friend to see him smiling, which just made him all the more happy. Sometimes he wasn't quite sure if he was truly happy, or if he was just pretending to be happy. This wasn't one of those times though, he could tell. He was honestly happy that he was sharing a room with his new friend, who didn't seem to mind much either. Dropping down on his bed, he pulled his legs up towards his chest and rested his chin on his knees, growing calmer as he finally took in his surroundings without hopping back and forth and bouncing off the walls. "We'll always be best friends, right Thero?"

---

Wolfram would never even think about admitting it, but he was a tad bit frightened by the chest mouth. Sure, he had read about it, and sure, he knew it was real. But, you know, stuff like this doesn't really sink in until you see if yourself. Once you see it yourself, you sort of feel like grabbing your stuff and getting the hell out as fast as you could- well, he would at least grab his sword, the rest of the stuff would be easily replaced. Either way, he couldn't stifle the small sigh of relief that came from him when the mouth closed. Pushing himself off of Gray's bed, he ignored the little gold trick and returned to his bed.

Unpacking, for him, consisted of opening two suitcases and sliding them in front of his bed. Almost every year he had been here, he had made due living out of his suitcases. It just seemed stupid to actually unpack, it wasn't like a drawer could keep his clothes cleaner ot straighter than his bag could. Honestly, you would never see Wolfie outside looking anything less than perfect, clothes, hair, and all. Even when he woke up he looked surprisingly angelic. And why was that? Probably because he didn't put his damn clothes in drawers where other peoples dirty things had been.

He reached for his sword and connected it to his belt, deciding that he shouldn't have to comply with such school rules any longer. If he wanted to carry around a sword, he should very well be allowed to. "Hey lovebirds," he called, trying to direct each of their attention to him. "Either of you know when classes actually start?" Even if it was him asking them a question, his tone didn't make it seem that way at all. It was quite demanding, he expected an answer, nothing else. And even though he was the one lacking information they had, he still managed to make himself sound smarter than them, clearly talking down to the pair.

Evie. Everett had the distinct feeling that he wasn't going to actually be hearing his own name, his real name, for quite some time between Gray who insisted on his familial nickname and Wolfram who... Well, who was a jerk for apparently no reason whatsoever. Still, he supposed that he'd given his permission and it would be rude to correct Gray when he'd been so friendly. The golden lily the bird had transformed into was beautiful down to the most minute detail, and, far from dark demon magic(did they even call it magic? He supposed he'd find out in class), it felt more like a parlor trick he would see at a human magic show. A very pretty, impressive parlor trick, but a parlor trick nevertheless. Now, this he could deal with. Probably. Unless the gold came alive or something.

"No, no, it's fine. I'm, ah, all right," He stammered, shaking his head. Somehow taking gold from a demon he'd just met, even offered by Gray, didn't sit well with him. That was probably his self-preservation kicking in again. Gray's apology felt sudden, a rather drastic turn from winking and showing off his much more people-friendly ability. Oh, great. And now he was feeling guilty on top of overwhelmed and more than a wee bit perturbed. It wasn't Gray's fault that he had a stomach-mouth-thing, and maybe that was even normal for demons. That didn't make it any less horrific for Everett, but still.

"You're fine. It's just a little...um...a little..." A little what? A little weird? A little gross? A little terrifying? Thankfully, or perhaps unthankfully, their other roommate managed to interrupt.

"Lovebirds?" Everett parroted indignantly as he whirled around to look at the world's least-friendly angel, suddenly becoming flustered as his face went beet red. Seriously? Could he even go one minute without insulting someone? Given his apparent ability to sound superior despite being the person asking the question, Everett highly doubted it. And he had a sword- an actual sword- attached to his hip now. Whose bright idea was it to give him of all people a weapon?

"I don't know... A few days...?" He mumbled, turning away. Oh, very smooth, Everett, he mentally berated himself. Why couldn't he have said something witty or insulting instead of just taking it? Oh, yes, because he lacked something called 'confidence'. Why did he have to be such a pushover? He knew it was a problem- it always had been, ever since he was a child- but he couldn't find it in himself to stand up for himself or be snarky or whatever.

He sighed and began rifling through his bag, burying his self-admonishment for another time. After all, he had to check to make sure nothing had broken during the long journey from the United States to Arcbell Academy. His relief was visible when he pulled out a rather large black camera, attached to a worn, blue strap. It had a little wear and tear from obvious use, but it had apparently been lovingly taken care of. Everett's lips quirked into a little smile that quickly disappeared as he put the camera back into its case. He didn't have privacy, he didn't have the greatest roommates, he didn't even have another human to talk to, but at least he had something.

(( OOC: So due to the fact that 1. Username inspired me and 2. there is a huge amount of every other species but human I made a human so yay another human. And don't worry yes I can manage 4 characters il do mah best! *coughs* I blame this mostly on Username... *cough cough* ))

Prothero Ender

Prothero looked over at Romeo and smiled. "Of course, so long as you desire me as your friend then that is what we shall be." He smiled and gently tousled Romeo's hair with a gentleman's smile. "Now Master Romeo what else would you desire from me?" Prothero did not realize he'd called Romeo master it had simply slipped out. Perhaps it was his years of learning how to be a gentlemen or the fact he often talked to people above him so he often called them master or something along those lines.

~ . ~

Gray Ender

Gray smirked at Wolf and stood up wrapping an arm around the blonde. "Ah perhaps you'd like to be a lovebird with me yes?" Gray purred and made a golden rose handing it to Wolfie without giving him a choice. "Anyway why don't I show you two around I've been around this school sense I was like 5... It's my home so I'd like it to be yours even if your terrified of it little Evie." Gray smiled not charmingly just warmly even at the sour headed angel. "Maybe you guys can even meet my lil sis Juliet... And..." Gray paused and huffed. "That idiot Prothero..." Gray's smirk became dark as he mumbled something about how he'd defeat his brother and then something about noogies and noodles. "So let's go!" Gray stood up and without giving much wait pulled open the door. He blinked when he came face to face with a red eyed human. For a second he was confused before realizing that the man was an albino. "Hey Evie~ There's a human in the room across from us! Sweetness!" Gray grinned over at the white haired boy.

~ . ~

Jack Red

Jack had just finished moving in and he surveyed his room. He'd gotten the room directly across from a dorm that would be home to 3 teenagers... Jack could only hope they'd not be too loud. The albino boy sighed as he set down a sketch that he'd made of his family. He'd made sure to memorize his mothers happy face before he left. And so far he was having success with his sketch. Standing up Jack decided it would be wise to take a break and explore his home for the next year. He'd not seen any other humans so far so he kinda hoped that if he left the safety of his room he might come across one. Opening the door he instead came face to face with a demon. Blinking he stared silently listening with intrigue as the demon addressed someone who Jack thought was probably a human as well by the demons words. So he wasn't all alone after all...

~ . ~

Juliet Ender

Juliet blinked and leaned close to the paper. "Hmmm... Your in the right hall all right~" Juliet beamed. "Numbers can get a bit confusing butttt." Juliet looked around counting in a mumbled breath. Turning left she pointed to the first room. "Your right there~" She spun and pointed to a different room door. "Over there is mine so if ever you get a nightmare or want some cake come by for a visit O.K." Juliet grinned. "The doors always un-locked so no worries." She was pleased with her success so far at making friend and could not contain her happiness.

What was an angel. It was a good question, perhaps not one that he was asked often but, still important. Most didn't really care, pinning the name angel right up along with stuck up goody-two-shoes. Well, in most cases, it was actually pretty right. Angels were popular among the humans, followed by vampires and werewolves. Then came the ghosts and demons, as many people refused to believe in the negative supernatural- which really came off as something amusing to him. If you believed that angels existed, why not believe that demons existed? Quite silly if you ask him- still, no one had asked and he wasn't going to voice his opinions on such a topic. The least popular species seemed to be D'hampires, not that he had anything against them, people just didn't seem to know much about them.

Then there were angels like him. Well, not exactly like him. Just ones that weren't goody-two-shoes and seemed to find more pleasure in rebelling rather than sucking up to whoever it was they were supposed to be running around fixing things for. He just happened to be one of those, being the worst an angel could be. Rude, stuck up, greedy, and rebellious. Really, it was more fun for him than anything. It wasn't like his only goal in life was to screw everything up, let someone else do that. He just liked making things hard for others, it was enjoyable to watch and see if they would crash and burn or somehow make it through. And honestly, he didn't make it easy. Only those who somehow learned to manage the young prince's attitude could earn his respect.

And then there were demons, usually seen as scary and mean. Until you met someone like Gray, who really just made you want to smash your own face it- and he would have, if his face wasn't so pretty. The demon had apparently suggested they go take a tour of the area, and Wolfie really wasn't crazy about such an idea. "Um, I think I'll stay be-" his head snapped towards the human boy who'd just interrupted him, and he kept a steady glare on him as his hand instinctively flitted to his sword.

---

Romeo grinned when his friend messed up his hair, but he didn't make a move to fix it. His hair never bothered him, it sort of had this way of just fixing itself back into place. It was his horns that bothered him mostly, they were always getting in the way. Sometimes if he could concentrate hard enough, they would disappear. Of course not permanately, just for as long as he could keep concentrated. This was one of those times, ironically, and the jagged horns disappeared without a trace of where they went. Honestly, he didn't even know what happened half the time, only that they were gone. The young boy blushed bright when Thero called him Master, but the excited smile stayed where it was. Carefully the boy moved himself and crawled up next to Thero, placing his hand on his chest gently. "We could always practice that cuddling thing," he said teasingly.

( Hey, now, don't you dare pin this one on me, Cookie. XD )

The suggestion of a tour around the campus was a tempting one, especially for someone as navigationally challenged as Everett. At least that way he'd at least be able to find the general vicinity of his classes instead of just wandering around like a little lost lamb. Still, like Gray had mentioned, as much as he wanted to at least get to know the area, it was still a daunting idea, particularly because he felt like he had a big target painted on his back. Call it paranoia, call it ridiculous, but given his track record with all things supernatural, well, it made complete sense to him. Actually, the more he thought about it, the worse the idea seemed. Gray's tour probably wouldn't even be that in depth or show him what he wanted to see- the demon would probably point out places he considered fun or, Heaven forbid, try to introduce them to people. The introverted part of him shuddered at the idea. But he didn't have much of a choice, did he? Gray could and would drag him around as an unofficial tour guide, no doubt.

So, when he heard Wolfram try to duck out of the tour, Everett decided that if he had to go through with this, he was taking the angel down with him, so to speak. Misery does love company, after all and Everett was quite the master of passive aggressive behavior given the fact that he was too cowardly to stand up for himself any other way.

"Don't be silly. It's, um, important roommate bonding. You don't have anything to, uh, do anyways, right?" He interrupted, even if his momentary confidence all but vanished when he saw Wolfram's hand twitching towards his sword, gulping and hurrying towards the door. Whose bright idea was it to let Wolfram keep his sword?

Suddenly, Gray stopped short and Everett ran into his back, letting out a little squeak in surprise as he stumbled back. Why had he...?

"Hey Evie~ There's a human in the room across from us! Sweetness!" Another human? Relief washed over Everett's face as he glanced around Gray. Oh thank G- wait, that guy was a human. Wide, gray eyes blinked up at the white-haired, red-eyed giant standing in front of them. Well, he seemed like a giant, maybe a foot taller than Everett and certainly taller than Gray and Wolfram(who were, Everett finally realized with slight delight, shorter than him, weren't they?). Still, he'd have to take Gray's word on this and, really, finally another human...!

"Oh, um, hello," He managed, giving a little wave. Great first impression, Everett, his mind chastised. Well, at least he'd managed to say something semi-intelligent.

Gray Ender

Gray stared up at the human before circling him. "Tall~" Gray stopped. "It's not fair everyone's taller then me... except for Wolfie..." Gray smirked and walked up to the angel. He wasn't much taller then the blonde haired beauty but he was still taller. That was all that mattered. Gray smirked. "You can leave the sword you know... If anyone messes with you or Evie I can give them a good scare..." A mysterious smirk passed over Gray's lips while his dark eyes traveled back to the albino human who was standing there un-amused and confused he also had his red eyes trained on Wolfie in a rather cold manner... Perhaps he did not appreciate the sword the golden haired boy was brandishing... But either way Gray did not like him looking over Wolfie... Or Evie for that matter... But he had to make the best of the situation so he shook of his natural protectiveness desires and walked over to the tall boy staring up.

~ . ~

Jack Red

Jack blinked when a red headed boy came into view. All of them were taller then him but they all seemed rather tough except for Evie who came off a bit more delicate... Well the only reason the golden haired boy looked tough was because he had a sword Jack guessed that without it he'd not be so big and tough... In fact he might even be delicate. Jack's eyes trailed over each person but they paused on the sword Wolf had. He glared before looking up and giving a grunt as a hello before turning to leave.

His path was instead cut off by a dark haired boy who stared up at him. There was a silence and finally Gray picked up the demon before setting him out of his way and going to leave once more. Only to be stopped again by the same person. What did the dark haired boy want? A hello? "You should come with us." Jack blinked confused at the dark haired boy. He did not know him yet he offered him acceptance into his group. Jack looked over once more at the terrified red head and the scowling sword bearing blonde. He looked back and nodded silently his silent watchful gaze never changing even when the dark haired boy whooped for joy and tackled his blonde roommate before dragging them out of the room. They were an interesting group that was for sure...

~ . ~

Prothero Ender

Prothero's cheeks went rather red as he looked away shyly. "If you would like... Then yes." He remained perfectly still. He'd only ever hugged Juliet and that was because he'd been forced to for fear she'd cry... He'd fought with Gray as well but he'd never cuddled. To say he was awkward would be an understatement. He was stiff as a board looking away as if his very gentlemanly conduct would be doubted if he dared to look upon his roommate. In other words he was waiting for Romeo to take the lead and guide him through this... cuddling thing.

"Of course. My room's the same as last year." Claude said happily, "This way."

When Claude finally got to the hall with the bed rooms he ran straight through a dude with white hair and red eyes. He knew that he probably pretty much froze the dude since his body heat was below zero, but he always found moments like that funny.
He turn around and apologized anyways since it was the first day and he didn't know who he was allowed to piss off yet.

"Sorry dude." He said, looking over at Ariami whose face you couldn't even read at the moment. He avoided the stares of the other men at the moment. It seemed like there were more guys this year...

Somehow, Gray's promise to keep Everett and Wolfram(although, despite Wolfram's effeminate features, Everett had no doubts he could take care of himself) relatively safe and to protect them from danger didn't exactly fill the red-head with overwhelming assurance. Gray was frightening enough with his chest-mouth and the pure fact that he was a demon, but he'd already caught glimpses of the other students and hadn't exactly been thrilled with what he'd seen. Besides, Gray seemed too nice; he'd probably think that a bully was just kidding around or something. Still, it was a nice gesture, Everett supposed.

Gray's insistence on dragging the other human around with them was unsurprising, the fact that he started man-handling Wolfram(he hid a little smirk) even less. If he'd learned even one thing about the demon boy since he'd met him, it was that he was very touchy-feely. Always dragging people around or hugging them. For the introverted Everett, that was a bit out of his comfort zone. Oh, who was he kidding? It was a lot out of his comfort zone.

As Gray started off and out of the room, a sudden thought occurred to Everett. They had no idea who the other boy was apart from what they'd already observed. As socially awkward as Everett was, that didn't seem quite on, but social niceties probably didn't matter to Gray one way or another.

"Um, sorry. I'm, er, Everett Harper. Who are you?" He looked up at their newest neighbor, wide, doe eyes sparkling with a gentle curiosity before, as if realizing that he was actually looking at someone, they shot back down to the floor. Eye contact was much too awkward with strangers, especially strange strangers(which, in retrospect, seemed to everyone he met these days).

He glanced up for another moment an instantly regretted it because a ghost had just gone through their new neighbor. A ghost. He felt quite faint, seeing the two new people passing by(or through, his mind unhelpfully supplied). As much as he wanted to retreat into his room and hide under the covers until it was time to go home, that possibility wasn't exactly plausible. He let out a quiet whimper instead, eyes focused on the floor. Don't look up and you won't see anything, don't look up and you won't see anything, his mind repeated like a skipping record.

((OOC: ok so summers officially hit my wonderful home of Canada that means blazing dessert like days and wild random storms for this reason my internet might randomly cut off but Il still post everyday EVEN IF I MUST STAY UP TILL LIKE 4. Anyway just wanted everyone to know in-case they notice that I randomly log off or something. ))

Gray Ender

Gray blinked as two people passed by. Jack seemed generally to not care much about being passed through but Gray thought it was a little weird. Then again this is Gray were talking about so it was only weird until he shrugged it off thinking how it was kinda cool. One of the people who passed by there group was a girl and un-like everyone else she seemed rather annoyed. "Another girl? This year I've only seen you madam and my sister Juliet... She's one floor up... Anyway I hope that helps...Sorry if the question was not addressed to me but I felt like answering." Gray became much more calm and cool as he answered the question, he did not know these people and as one of them appeared annoyed he did not want to step on a sore spot by being overly joyful. That and he felt that the white haired human would not have answered anyway he seemed to already in Gray's amazing opinion to be one of those annoying silent types.

Jack Red

Jack shivered a little when someone walked through him. Well... That was new, and rather creepy... But he'd think nothing of it in the mean time. He nodded calmly as a sign he accepted the boy's apology but aside that kept his lips sealed. He even stayed quiet and allowed the demon or... He thought he was a demon, to answer a question on his behalf.

He looked over at the red head. He'd... introduced himself? Strange but nice... Most people were always scared of him. Clearing his throat Jack stared at the red head hoping to catch his wide sparkling eyes. "Jack Red... It's nice to meet you Everette." Jack's voice was very strong and somewhat deep but not so deep as it did not fit him in fact it was kinda soft. He held little emotion in his words but that was a simple formality... Jack was never the most enthusiastic sounding person no, often he showed his feelings and meaning through body language. The rare times he did sound full of emotion it was when he was angry and even then it might just be a bit lower. The albino looked back to Gray when he felt the rather short boy poke his cheek. He gave a hmp to ask what but the boy only grinned.

"My name's Gray then and over there we got serious Wolfram Grace..." Jack listened to Gray before his red eyes slowly looked over at the blonde haired boy. He did seem rather serious. Jack only nodded to say hello. He wanted to say something about the sword the blonde seemed to be carrying... But should he? Getting his hand cut off first day of school might not be wise... Oh well. "Wolfram?" Jack said the name softly and tentatively... Was he saying it right. "I do hope you don't plan on bringing the sword for any reason other then self defense or decoration... I'd hate to have to take it from you because you decided to harm someone..." Jack's voice grew cold near the end but he softened after words before turning and walking down the hall until Gray stopped him to complain about how he was the one showing them around... To this Jack once again only nodded.

Romeo smiled softly, glad that his horns had chosen now to disappear. "Loosen up," he said, voice as gentle as it could be considering how nervous he was. It wasn't like they were going to make out or anything, but he didn't want his best friend to hate him. For a moment he chewed on his lower lip, debating his options. Pull away and curse him and Thero to forever be non-cuddling-friends. Or make Thero possibly hate him for being forced to cuddle. With a short sigh, he pulled away, deciding he would rather keep his friend and not push him past his comfort zone. "It's okay, you don't have to." He grinned, pulling that I'm-not-really-happy-but-I'll-pretend-to-be thing that he always did.

---

Serious Wolfram Grace? Really? What was so serious about him? They were probably mistaking the annoyance for seriousness, which was just plain idiotic. But he was too busy staring daggers at Carrot, aleady planning ways to get back at the little arse for getting him stuck in this situation. If there was one thing that Wolfram ever wanted to be, it was probably frightening. People weren't supposed to like him. They weren't supposed to find comfort in him, or happiness. But, people could definitely be afraid of him. That's why he carried around a sword after all, right? So it really didn't help that he was the shortest here, or that he had extremely feminine features and- gorgeous -blonde hair. Nope, genetics were not helping him right then.

And now Gray was pretty much manhandling him, throwing his arm around his shoulder and practically dragging him out of the room. For a moment he debated pulling the sword out and stabbing himself. It wouldn't kill him, of course. But perhaps it would convince them to let him stay behind. Then again, knowing Gray, he'd probably just carry him instead. Or stay by his bedside until the wound healed, which would be worse than a little tour. Still, he wasn't happy about it. Would have been perfectly fine if they had just went alone, let him have some time to himself in the dorm. He had pretty much already decided that this was going to be the worst school year ever.

Finally he tore his gaze from Carrot to glance over at the white haired boy, who seemed to be saying hello- though he never actually said anything. "You can call me Wolf, if it's easier." The way he said it was almost... in a sense, mocking. As if he didn't think the boy was smart enough to figure out how to say his name correctly. But at the same time, if you dug deep enough, it was meant in a sort of... kinder way too. Had he offered a nickname to either of the other boys? Then there was something different about this one, huh. "Oh, and I'd like to see you try big boy." His words now weren't as harsh as they were playful, a challenge perhaps. Wolfram stepped away from Gray to sling his arm around Carrot's shoulders, standing on his toes to place a playful peck on his cheek and bat his eyelashes at them all. "Besides, Carrot here wouldn't let you hurt me, now would you?" The last part was clearly directed towards the red head, and he was smirking all the while.

"It's nice to, um, meet you too," Everett replied automatically, just then getting over the shock of seeing a ghost. Why wasn't anyone even fazed by what had just happened? Maybe he'd celebrated finding another human too soon- Jack seemed just as assimilated to the insanity of this place as anyone else or was doing a fantastic job at hiding any shock. His eyes glanced up, meeting Jack's for just a second before looking anywhere but. It didn't help that Wolfram was glaring at him, the very fact that he could almost feel the hatred was more than mildly unsettling.

The angel's attentions were soon off of him, much to his relief, and onto Jack, supplying a nickname for the other boy to use. Wow, really? He could do vaguely friendly? Everett bit back a huff. Sure for the stranger Wolfram was kind enough but he had to harass his new roommate with cold glares, irritating gestures, and an irksome nickname? Obviously whoever had arranged the rooms had made sure to make Everett as uncomfortable as humanly(or inhumanly) possible.

He allowed himself to fade into the background as the more dominant personalities interacted, Gray's enthusiasm mixing with Jack's calm insistence that Wolfram put his sword away, the angel's quick borderline flirtatious retort(or that was most likely Everett over-thinking things). He was all right with that, having become used to slinking out of the spotlight whenever possible at home. Of course, because it was making him mildly content, the moment didn't last.

Before he knew it, Wolfram had flung an arm around his shoulder and planted a kiss on his cheek, batting his eyes in mock flirtation. Quite against his will, Everett's cheeks turned flaming red and he began to sputter his disapproval which came out more like...

"What- No, I- What're you-" He silenced himself quickly, mouth shutting with a snap and sending a quick glare to the clearly smirking angel before his eyes inevitably went elsewhere and he scurried out of Wolfram's lax embrace.

Prothero Ender

When Romeo pulled away Prothero felt a twinge of disappointment. He was awful at this friendship thing wasn't he? With a large leap of faith Prothero awkwardly pulled Romeo into a hug. "I apologize Romeo, my father did not approve of hugs... So I may not be any good." He released the younger demon and looked away. "I am the oldest of my household... So I have to be responsible... I have been trained sense very young and my father disapproved of me hugging and such things... Only ever has my sister Juliet hugged me... And that is seldom because I do not wish her trouble... I sometimes fought with my brother also but... That's no where near hugging." He looked up his cheeks red and his blue eyes darting away. "I enjoy hugs but... I'm simply no good... If I was then I'd hug you so long as you so wished." Feeling shy Prothero had resorted to talking in his most proper fashion. He was shy when it came to admitting things and really he preferred to look like the cool mysterious older mature demon guy and here he was admitting things he never had in front of a living non-related person. Curse his weakness at times!

Gray Ender

Gray was more then amused with Everett's reddening cheeks due to Wolfies teasing. He smirked and poked Evie's cheeks. "I had no idea someone could even become that color. He snickered. "It's pretty cute but then again all humans seem to be, even you Jack." He turned to look at the much taller teen and grew disappointed when all he got from the taller boy was an arched questioning eye brow and then a silent shrug. He poked the taller teen and stared him down trying to get a reaction from him but Jack on stared down on him with a silent look of confusion. "I have yet to decide if your boring or serious." Gray huffed when he got a shrug. "Your boring... But that will soon change because the awesome me is here! Now then onward!" Gray pointed to the area down the hall and rushed off ahead of everyone his take charge attitude coming into full effect.

Jack Red

Jack was oddly happy that no one out of the strange little group he found himself in, seemed frightened or annoyed with him. Though his happiness was in no way showing on his face someone might detect the slightest bit of joy in his eyes. But they could not be expecting a smile out of him any time soon. Jack watched as Wolf teased Everett and Gray joined in. He could tell already the red head was not one for such things and he debated for awhile picking up the smaller boy... Or umm... One of them as they were all smaller then him... Though the shortest one was Wolf... Oddly enough the blonde despite his stature definitely had the most stand offish personality. But it was oddly refreshing.

Jack had his concentration torn away by the one called Gray. He was poking him and Jack was hardly paying attention though once and awhile he would shrug or nod if he caught whatever the fast talking man was saying. He just wanted him to stop poking him, luckily after the dark haired demon seemed satisfied with his own curiosity he finally stopped and ran off ahead of them. The albino amused with the energy of the group he found himself in allowed a small not even an actual smile to cross his neutral face for maybe 1.2 seconds, before he followed. He turned to look at Everett and Wolf and gestured for them to come as well. Though by this time the 1.2 second heart melting half barely even smile/smirk was long gone once again replaced by a neutral expression, though as before if one would pay any attention they might actually notice a happy look hidden in his piercing ruby eyes.

Juliet Ender

Juliet was happy she'd been able to help Elijah. And feeling satisfied with her victory she felt it was now ok for herself to wander. Perhaps she'd go check up on her brothers but she felt more in the mood to head down to the gardens. A choices. Either way it seemed that the best place to start off on her expedition would be down in the main lobby area right in the entrance of the school. Feeling optimistic she set off.

Romeo quirked his head to the side a bit, which was actually quite difficult since he was still being held against Prothero's chest in the messy and awkward hug he had been pulled into. Honestly, it wasn't that bad though. He couldn't even complain. It was nice being next to his friend, and hugging him, and even cuddling if he got scared at night. The older demon gave him a sense of... safety. Obviously he was more mature and calmer, he was probably much stronger too. While Romeo was rather skinny and awkward and he enjoyed being silly rather than serious. He wasn't very good at taking care of things either. Perhaps making a friend so quickly was a good thing, especially since said friend was his roommate.

"It's okay Thero," he managed to get out, slightly squished by the hug. The young demon patted his friends back awkwardly, voice returning to its' usual cheerfulness. "Everyone has things they aren't so good at." Pulling back just enough that he could see his friend, he offered a big smile. "But it doesn't mean they can't try and improve on those things!" With that said, he pulled Prothero back into the hug and squeezed tight, wiggling back and forth before pushing himself back and crawling up towards the top of his friends bed, curling up with the pillow. "What'cha wanna do then?"



Wolfram sort of frowned. It was one of those expressions that his nanny used to tell him would get stuck on his face if the wind shifted while he was pulling it. Funny story, yeah, his face never got stuck in any way. Well, not including the time he had felt it necessary to lick the ice in the ice box and got his tongue stuck. Perhaps one of the only times that being a Angel had come in handy, since his tongue grew back after his father sliced it off. Took a day or two, and while it was regenerating it was really quite awkward for everyone. Oh well, they said he could wait for it to melt, get water dumped on him, or it could be cut off. Being the impatient person he was, he went with the quickest option. Hell, it hurt, but it was worth it. Even if to this day his brother wouldn't let up on him for it.

Back to being impatient though, he was actually quite glad to see Gray dash off- it meant they were actually getting out of the slightly cramped hallway. He wasn't so thrilled that Carrot had slid away from him so quickly, and was even disappointed in himself for letting the human get away. Even if he was- quite -taller, Wolf could stretch a bit. It was a bit awkward trying to "casually" wrap his arm around a taller person though, when he had to almost be on his toes and still stretch his arm. Oh well, he had achieved what he had wanted to; making Carrot feel awkward. It was just so fun, to him, maybe not to the victim though. Gray had seemed to be amused by it to though, even if he still insisted on calling the humans cute. Sure, they were, uh, attractive. In a lab-rat sort of way.

The blonde followed behind the pack, strolling along in a way that made it very clear that he was happy to be left behind. Maybe he could even make an escape and run back to the room when they weren't looking.

Everett scurried after Gray who was bounding off like the leader of a great expedition before, as if realizing what he was doing, slowing his pace considerably. He was slightly hunched over now, cheeks still flaming a vivid red color(not at all helped by Gray's little comment on him being cute- cute! Oh, that would have been a dart into his self-esteem if, let's be honest, he actually had any), hands fiddling with his too-long sleeves. He looked up in just enough time to see a tiny smile dance across Jack's lips before disappearing into his previous stoic look. Oh, so he could smile. Everett blinked, head quirking to one side in distraction before he missed a step, tripping slightly over his own two feet. With that fresh embarrassment in mind, he ripped his eyes away from Jack and the straggling Wolfram who, as much as he hated to admit it, was actually being a bit clever. He could probably slip off at some point if he continued at his current pace and escape Gray's little tour.

Everett sighed, worrying his bottom lip between his teeth as he glanced at his surroundings, urged on by a slight feeling of paranoia. After the ghost incident(and the human incident, and the angel incident, and the demon incident....) he couldn't help but feel as if people were coming out of the woodworks just to try their best to frighten him. But that couldn't be right- it was just an unhappy coincidence that he had apparently once more become a magnet for insanity.

"So, um," He said, breaking his own steady silence as his blush faded to a pale pink painted across his cheeks. "Where are we going now...?" Hopefully somewhere practical and not, say, Gray's favorite place to eat brownies.

((OOC: *waves* ok sense we seem to have some good interactions going on I might get classes started soon after a time skip so keep a look out for that maybe soon depending! ))

Prothero Ender

Prothero smiled down at his roommate. "Perhaps he ought to go for a walk? I do hope we don't run into Gray but there's always the chance we go across my little sister instead of my brother... Or course if you'd prefer to stay here I will stay as well... I have no obligation to go or stay so I could care little..." Well that was lie... Prothero did care a little... On the off chance he ran into his brother he knew what would ensue. The dark haired boy would latch onto Romeo and teasing amongst who knows what else would lead to some sort of argument that would end in physically attacking each other only to have someone... Probably Juliet... Interfere and make us apologize... It wasn't a bad thing they fought in a way that was how they showed some form a caring... But would become annoying if Gray befriended Romeo because then the two might have to learn to get along for the smaller demons sake... But hopefully nothing like that would happen and if it did Prothero would handle it as he always did he was Prothero Ender after all.

Gray Ender

Gray was happily talking when he heard Everett's question. "Hmmm... How about the padio... It's outside the cafeteria and most students go there to study and play sports some classes are also conducted there so you guys should all get familiar with it now!" Gray grinned and smirked at Wolf. "And don't even try sneaking out of this... I got eyes in the back of my head trailed on you." He noticed Jack looked at him quizzically and eying him curiously for the extra eyes. He laughed at the albino's confusion. "Dude it's a metaphor... And here i though I never left the house." The albino's cool composure broke for maybe a second but it soon fixed itself and he nodded. Man... How was Gray suppose to hang around these people? They needed a major energy pick up or they'd remind him of his annoying older brother. There were already enough Prothero's in the word with 1 thank you!

Jack Red

Jack followed Gray without complaint after the dark haired shorter boy had made him break for a second. So he had no idea it was a metaphor! It wasn't a big deal right? Either way the albino was grateful when they got to the patio. It was indeed right outside the cafeteria it was so close that there was a cafeteria kitchen window facing the outside where one could knock and order snacks... He contemplated getting something to eat but decided against it. The outside was nice and for now he was feeling in the mood to enjoy it. He pulled off his large black sweater and draped it lazily over a chair at a table Gray had claimed. He sure was an excitable personage... Though Jack had yet to decide if he liked or disliked the quality in Gray.

Stretching now that he was free from the somewhat heavy cloth Jack allowed himself to relax and feel the sun hit and warm up his lean muscled back. The sun's warmth was relieving him of several aches he often got from trying to take a nap earlier on the mattress he was not use to. Running a hand through his shoulder length white hair he watched silently as teenagers of who knows what species played soccer nearby. One of them kicked a particularly strong but not well directed ball toward Gray's head and Jack acted in an instant. Moving with surprising speed for what might first seem a slow moving quiet person he caught the soccer ball before it made contact with the much shorter boy's head. He turned his head making sure Gray was not injured and when he was sure he set the soccer ball down kicking it gently at first before following until he picked up speed and kicked shooting the soccer ball over the field and into a goal. The boys who were playing gaped and thanked him but he only shrugged before taking a seat and once again contemplating the idea of a snack, while Gray just stared at the albino both confused and impressed.

Romeo watched his roommate, curious. It wasn't like he was very social himself, not very outgoing and he really didn't like being a leader or having to make decisions. But he was quite the extrovert, at least most people saw him that way. Now when he looked at Thero, he didn't really see an extrovert. He seemed to like to live more inside himself, and he didn't seem to like to make decisions to give his own opinions or thoughts on things. Of course he looked like a tall, scary, older demon at first glance but- well he wasn't.

After a moment he sat up, smiling as he felt his horns grow back. "A walk sounds nice," he said, stretching slightly before standing to slip his shoes back on. "We can go find a big-" he held out the word, stretching his arms to the side and grinning. "Tree and you could fly us to the top of it." Or they could just go for a walk around the school. He didn't really care much for what they did, he just liked spending time with his new best friend.



His plan to escape was foiled by Gray, who apparently knew him well enough already to tell what the Angel had been thinking. Really, it wasn't a big surprise. Everyone in the group could probably see that he wasn't thrilled to be there, and his escape plan hadn't exactly been the best. Perhaps he should have made a run for the room right then, but that idea didn't get to him until it was too late. They were already around the corner, the room was too far. One of them would catch him, especially since pretty much all of them were larger than him and it took three of his steps to match even one of theirs. Oh well, short was adorable, and they were just tall freaks. Especially Jack, he was the tallest. And then Carrot, well of course Carrot was tall. he was a human, they were all awkward and lanky and gross.

Alright, well, perhaps he had a thing for tall guys. But that was besides the point. No way he was ever going to date a guy- wouldn't ever even admit to liking one. The Angels would never let it go, it'd be Hell for him since they would no doubt get a kick out of it. They already had enough things to tease him about, like his height for example. And then the fact that he looked like a damn girl. At least he was good-looking, more than you could say for half of them. Most Angels were pretty gorgeous though, males and females. It wasn't his fault that he didn't like having his face hurt, and it really wasn't his fault that the rest of them were idiots that didn't care about their appearance. He probably didn't have to wear the old clothes, or the sword for that matter, but he liked them.

Wolf was distracted then by the sound of something hitting flesh, and looked up to see Jack holding a soccer ball. The sight of the human actually made his heart skip a beat, and he was glad there was no vampires around to actually hear it. For a human he was, uh, not terrible looking. Realizing he had been staring, the blonde quickly dropped his eyes to his lap, occupying himself with looking annoyed at nothing really in particular.
