Aurora Academy

Kanra stepped in front of Sakio protectively out of instinct. From what he had witnessed so far, she had a bit of a mouth on her and he definitely did not want her mouthing off to Sera.
"Please forgive us Lady Sera, this kind young girl was just escorting me to my dorm.. I seemed to have gotten lost." He kneeled before her, looking up to meet her eyes, his were that soft baby blue with sorrow in them. Kanra was good at looking genuinely sorry when he needed to, and his many years on this Earth have taught him everything about being a perfect gentleman which helped him talk his way out of most situations.

He stood up and turned to the day class girl, giving her one more smile. "Oh, and I smile because you are lovely." he said softly, honestly feeling saddened that he didn't get more time with her.
She may have acted tough, but Kanra felt a softness from her.



Angel already had her head down on the desk, and her textbook pushed to the side. It had been less than five minutes since she and Drake stepped foot in the classroom and she was already fed up with the whole thing.
When she heard him speak she picked her head up, blinking at him for a few minutes, her eyes heavy. "Oh yeah.. I wonder what he wants." As the teacher walked in she opened her book, and pretended to be studying for today's lesson.

Blair watched seeing Tak becoming clearly awkward whilst trying to be friendly to the pureblood girl. She smirked a little, being slightly amused by the event. Shortly after the Ame was left in the hands of the blonde, Akira. Blair had slightly doubted the males responsibility but as the pureblood had trusted him he must be… well alright to trust. Though Ame was a pureblood, albeit a little shy, so she must be able to take care of herself, right?

Tak smiled, well it wasn’t exactly a smile, he still appeared to be somewhat awkward about the situation. He obviously needed an escape plan because he quickly looked back to Blair. "Get them their schedules and stuff, yeah?”

“Yeah, right,” she said looking back, quickly wiping the smirk off her face. She turned, heading back inside, catching sight of the older pureblood, Seraphina, as she walked past the dorm. She was seeming to be scolding a white haired vampire that Blair knew all too well, and of course there was a human involved, there always was with him.

“Kanra,” she muttered under her breath. She had to say, the vampire hadn’t actually ever done anything wrong, he just… Got too close to humans for Blair’s liking. She had always been suspicious because of this, always thinking he was going to be breaking the rules, though he seemed to be very obedient to what the Purebloods asked.

Now it dawned on her that Sera was doing her job. Blair felt a stab of annoyance and her face formed into a slight frown but she quickly snapped out of it. She was doing Blair’s job, therefore that meant she had less to concern herself with. With a small shake of her head she picked up the pace a little, glancing over her shoulder at Tak before walking into the front office.

The dorm rooms and schedules were in a sort of folder, she pulled them out, handed half to Tak, and took the other half herself. Which ended being very few small piles. They couldn’t even be called a pile as there only seemed to be several sheets in each.
“Right then,” she muttered, more to herself, most of the vampires where (hopefully) in the dorm so there would be no need to go looking for them.

Ritsuka took her first eager steps out of the vehicle, her parasol springing to life over her head to shield her from the sudden light. With a gloved hand, she tugged gently at its handle, urging her chauffeur to pass it to her. The man slipped the parasol into her palm and shuffled from her side to the boot of the black car, opening it and retrieving her belongings as she opened her tired eyes and took in the sight of the Academy.

There it was, nestled up on its perch. It looked majestic as always, a castle surrounded by lush green forests under a clear blue sky - and a whole heap of stairs to climb to its silver gates. Ritsuka stared at the open gates, watching the last of the students file in. She was late, of course, as her flight from London had been delayed. She had missed the Academy with its clean air and open spaces and... God forbid, the glare of the blinding sun was even making her feel nostalgic. Her chauffeur returned with her large travelling bag and she raised her hand to stop him without even blinking or looking in his direction. She remained focused on the gates as he set the bag down by her side and she pulled up the handle, forcing the bag onto its wheels. She stood still, her chin slightly raised, as though diligently awaiting permission to continue.

"Your father wishes you good luck with your year," the man said at her side, bowing his head slightly. Ritsuka's icy eyes slid over to him and she gave a little nod to portray her understanding, then she refocused on the gates she had worked so hard to reach. She began to climb the stairs, not even paying attention to the car's engine starting up and fading away behind her. She walked with dignity, a sort of grace you would expect of a vampire from a higher class. Her small heels slowly clicked and clacked their way up to meet the gates and when she reached her destination, she found herself with no disciplinary committee to greet her and/or glare at her and only a few confused Day Class first years wondering where to go. At the sight of their uniforms, Ritsuka dipped her chin to look at her own dress and wondered whether she should have worn hers. Instead of dwelling on it, she continued her journey to the Moon Dorms, ignoring the gawking Day Class students who saw her but appreciating the attention.

She arrived at the dorms not too much later, all the while thoroughly enjoying the familiar scenery and the silence. In the courtyard of the dorms she twirled as she walked, looking at the fountain, the garden, the flowers, the sky, the sun... Ritsuka immediately lowered her gaze, blinded by the spots in her eyes. She stopped twirling and her skirts settled down, gathering back at her knees. She internally cursed the sun for ruining her vision and stepped up to the doors of the dorm, closing her parasol up with a finality.

With both of her hands, she opened the doors with ease and looked inside at the Night Class gathered inside awaiting for further instructions... all wearing their uniforms. Ritsuka stared at them through her fringe as the doors swung shut behind her with a bang then toted her bag along with her to the furthest seat away from everyone else by the window. She sat down and crossed her legs, looking over everyone in the entrance hall. They were mostly all faces she remembered, but none she knew. They chatted to each other with idle small talk, reuniting with friends or just hanging low and standing about, waiting. Obviously she wasn't too late as the dorms hadn't been assigned as of yet. Ritsuka remembered how her last dorm room mate had been caught trying to sneak into the Day Class dorms and was expelled from the school, leaving her all by herself. She hadn't minded and hoped that some circumstances would grant her a dorm to herself this year as well. She was not giving up on the possibility. Ritsuka clenched her fists and held them against her chest and looked up into the open air with a sudden determined aura, as though chance was something that she could control with enough wishful thinking. Then she took out a book from her bag and began to read with the same intense attitude as she waited for fate to do her job.

Sera

Sera couldn't help but stand in front of the pair with no emotion laced on her face, It wasn't that she didn't want to show her emotions, she was just taught not too. But it was safe to say this Day class girl surprised her. She hadn't exactly expected that reaction from her, normally the humans were afraid of her or showed nothing but respect for Sera. But this girl stood up for herself. She was a gobby one at that. And for some reason Sera liked it.

This caused her to smirk slightly. She was about to speak, but Kanra suddenly knelt down in front of her. He began to apologize for his actions, though she wasn't entirely sure if he was being completely genuine or not. Either way she would find out later, and more than likely have words with him later.

"It better not happen again, and next time you get lost" She chuckled slightly "It may be your last" She whispered the last part.

Turning towards the dark haired girl, a smirk still etched onto her face. Her eyes reflecting amusment. " What's your name?" She questioned her with genuine curiosity.

Drake
Drake couldn't help but sigh as the lecture began. Turning to Angel to respond to her previous question. " I have no idea what the headmaster wants" He muttered, quickly looking back towards the teacher before he caught them chatting. "But knowing him it will probably involve some extra work for us." He grumbled.

As many could tell Drake wasn't the biggest fan of being part of the Disciplinary committee, don't get him wrong it had it's perks but it just meant extra work for them, and it was time that could be better spent sleeping, eating or watching films.

Before Sakio could get much of a reply from the random girl in front of them, Kanra was stepping in front of her and apologizing. And then proceeded to kneel. Kneel. Sakio would have laughed but she was too busy feeling shocked. There were manners, and then there was crazy. Was Kanra on the crazy list? But 'Lady Sera' (as the white haired boy had called her), didn't seem surprised by the action in the least. So Sakio decided to just go with it and pretend these people didn't weird her out.

"I smile because you are lovely," was the quiet compliment that Kanra gave her after getting scolded by Sera. Sakio raised an eyebrow at the boy, not really sure how to respond to that. She was glad she wasn't the easily embarrassed type too, otherwise she'd probably blush. Before she could even begin to reply her attention was drawn back to Sera, who was smiling. Actually, it was more like a smirk. And she looked like she was genuinely enjoying herself. For some reason.

" What's your name?" Sakio stared, kind of confused. That's all she wanted?

"Sakio." Her reply was short if not a bit cold, but that was more because she didn't like the amusement playing on Sera's face than anything else. If she didn't know better, she'd say the girl found her funny. And Sakio wasn't really all that "funny", to say the least. She'd tried to joke around before, but it usually ended badly. So she just stopped.

"Right, well. I'm gonna go now. To class, I mean. SO, yeah... you two have a nice day," Sakio said while taking a few steps back. She wasn't completely sure why she had the sudden urge to get out of there, but she did. It wasn't exactly a scared feeling. More like she felt out of place. She was the only one in the area wearing a Day Class uniform after all, so the feeling was justified to say the least. "Bye," she added, looking over at Kanra before turning around and walking back to class.

After letting Blair take over handing out schedules, Tak decided to go back to zoning out. He was doing that a lot more recently. Maybe it was the weather. Most of the students had gotten their schedules and either headed to class or to their dorms at this point. And for Tak, heading to his dorm sounded wonderful. He hadn't felt tired when he first set out to do the stupid disciplinary committee stuff, but now he was exhausted. He hadn't even done anything. Just the few moments of human (well, sort of human) interaction was enough to make him want to crawl into bed to sleep and never wake up. Or maybe write something. That was fun too sometimes.

Suddenly Tak found himself yawning, something he didn't do often. He was lazy, not in a way that made him tired all the time when he was awake but in a way where he just generally slept and relaxed more. So, when he was actually up he was less tired than other people. Sort of.

"Blair, I'm heading to the dorms," Tak mumbled, actually rubbing his eyes like a little kid. "I'm tired. You probably don't have to stay. Anyone who hasn't shown up yet deserves to be lost."

Darius was lost. Bigtime lost. And for that matter, he didn't know this school had a pool room. Did vampires play pool? Were they so bad at it that they needed to practice? He was interrupted from his mindless wandering as he heard one of the most neckbeard things he'd heard in a while drifting up from the stairwell beneath him.

"I smile because you are lovely," was all it took for him to start choking back laughter. Holy shit, people TALKED like that here? What, did they also go on vampire forums late at day and talk about "tfw no bloodbag"? He was about to slide down in a lazy-looking pose when he saw the guy in question. His uniform was different than Darius', so he made the assumption that the guy was from the Night Class, and thus a vampire. Suddenly the incredibly dated way of speaking made a bit more sense. He was talking to a chick with a Day Class uniform, JACKPOT! Maybe this place wouldn't be so bad after all! As the girl walked away, he decided to go after her for directions and sat on the rail so he could slide down, expecting a slow descent. Nope, apparently they wax those things. As he picked up speed and hit the ground, he swooped in with all the grace and beauty of a brick, tripping and rolling before realizing he was on a direct collision course with the girl, barely getting a quick little "meep" out before the impact knocked her down, his weight and size basically making him a bowling ball of idiot.

One bruised and battered body later, Darius waved the little bats circling around his head away and tried shaking his head to clear his mind, but felt his nose rubbing up against two... Well, she was a board up front, but she had some nice rear cushions, he had to admit... {Oh, shit.} he thought to himself as he felt his blood boiling, reaching further and further... He pushed his head away from those perfect cheeks and stood up, taking a few deep breaths, a small part of him pissed at the cocktease and wanting more. Pushing the Perv further back, he chuckled a bit and offered a hand to help his accidental victim up.

"I think it might be a bit late to say this, but, uh... Hi?"

As Blair was sifting through her own timetable Tak spoke.
“Uh, yeah,” though she hadn’t really registered what he had said yet as her gaze dropped to the dorm assignment. She had hoped maybe, since she was in the disciplinary committee and needed to get up relier than most of the Night class she would be on her own, so as not to disturb anyone but apparently that wasn’t the case. In fact what was worse was that she was sharing it with…Ritsuka.

Not that she hated the girl of course, she didn’t exactly like her. The strange vampire had always seemed to dapen the mood, so to say and seemed to carry melancholy aura around her, not in the literal sense as the girl seemed to be happy enough, her aura had always seemed to be pretty happy. It was more in the sense of… effecting those around her. Well, she effected Blair at least, always making her feel slightly awkward and even a little… well freaked out. Ritsuka, from Blair’s experience had always seemed to pop up from almost nowhere. Though that wasn’t the whole reason Blair didn’t want to share a room with her, and she didn’t exactly want to admit it to herself as it seemed rather harsh even by her standards. The thought that crossed Blair’s mind was that maybe, and just maybe, that being even seen with the girl would lower her social status. Her feelings were obviously conflicted but she quickly shook her head and that thought from her mind. She had more things to deal with at the minute.

“Right, I’ll head to the dorms too, gotta give these out anyway,” she said after a while of silence, handing Tak his timetable and dorm arrangements before striding off, still glaring down at her timetable.

Soon enough Blair had reached the dorm, having to go through crowds of humans to even get there, though once she was past that it became relatively easy to get there.

There was no way Blair was going through every single person to give the timetables out, instead she set them on what seemed like a coffee table while declaring in a rather loud voice that whoever didn’t have one had better get theirs now.
As she stepped back her eyes scanned across the room, briefly glancing her new room mate, alone as usual and looking rather strange alone with a book while al the others, aside from Zeke, seemed to be socializing. Suddenly she became very thankful she wasn’t sharing a room with him, who knew what he did on his own.

---

Zeke wasn’t even concentrating on his game, he had gotten bored of first person shooters and ended up playing Tetris. He wasn’t even fully focused on the game anymore, he just ended up people watching, most came and went, a few remained such as the couple in the corner and a girl who seemed oddly familiar, also sitting alone and reading. He had considered speaking to her though perhaps she wouldn’t want to be disturbed. Zeke, when focused, hated being distracted from his game, so she was possibly the same.

He was pulled from his thoughts when Blair had entered, setting the timetables down. With a slight sigh of effort as Zeke prized himself from his comfortable position and trudging rather lazily over to the table shuffling through the timetables until he came across his own and his dorm room. This year he would be sharing with someone named Kurosawa Akira… Never heard of him before.

Ritsuka's blue eyes snapped up as she heard the commotion of the dorm inhabitants all flooding to... something? She stood up silently and closed her book, trying to peer at what caused the small gathering. She stayed still for a little while more, unsure of whether to go ahead or just wait it out. The people ended up peeling off before she made her decision and she saw a couple sheets of paper left on a coffee table, the top one with her name on it.

"Oh," she breathed and a girl beside her jumped a little, then whipped her head around and, upon realisation of who she was, backed slowly away to her friends. Ritsuka ignored it and walked slowly over to the table, looking left and right before taking the paper. She stared down at it with the same determined face as she had before. Now, it was the moment of truth! She flipped it over eagerly and held it right up close to her face, her eyes furiously scanning the page until she found it. ... When she did find it, she accidentally whined under her breath and her shoulders sunk.

Blair Kendrick... she had heard that name before. Who was Blair Kendrick? She glanced sideways and found a face she recognised as Blair's. Oh... the disciplinary committee girl? Ritsuka continued to look at her as she attached a personality to her room mate. Blair... snappy and outspoken, right? Yes, that was her. She was often battling it out with Ritsuka for the top position in their class, as well as with a couple of others. They had some real geniuses in this school. Ritsuka pouted behind her timetable, then got over herself. It could have been much worse, after all. Besides, it wasn't that bad...? Blair was smart... and ... smart, so she wouldn't be doing anything stupid or annoying, really. Ritsuka nodded in agreement to the little chipper voice in her head and turned back to her seat to fetch her bag and book, accidentally disturbing the group that now resided there. She tugged her bag along with her up the stairs as she made her way up to the dorm she had been assigned to.
