Tadashi yawned as he walked out of the grand meeting hall. That old hag had given some sort of orientation speech. He scolded himself mentally for falling asleep and missing the entire speech. Oh well. He thought as he made his way around, he also had neglected to get a map, however he saw a central board that had a crude map scratched into it. He guessed this was students doing, all the same he was grateful. Looking at it, a staff member showed up with papers and posted it. It was the listings for roommates and dorms. He scanned down until he got to the hundred-sixties and saw his name.

Room 168 - Victoria Rotheram, and Eolande Gullveig

Room 169 - Gwendoline and Ace Diamond.

Room 170 - Hikari Uriel and Abbey Rose.

Room 171 - Tadashi Muramaro.

Room 172 - Steven Markson, Arthur Rotheram and Liam Blir.

Room 173 - Cultro D'infernum.

Room 171? It would seem he was boarding with some human fellow, however according to what was here his roommate was only temporarily here. Crinkling his nose Tadashi began heading toward his dorm. His tail swished behind him, he could hide it sure, but he loved the feel of having it showing. His cat-like tail swished low as he walked, unlike most cat-tails this one was prehensile and it had a sharp club like shape on the tip. Most people who saw him walking cowed away from him. This made Tadashi grin a bit. He loved scaring the masses!

After awhile of aimless exploration he made it to the door. 171. Opening it slowly, he was hit by a stench and then the sights of it all. It was a sty, and that was putting it nicely.

"Damn, what a shitty place." Tadashi muttered as he stepped over some half-eaten food stuffs. "Oi, roomie? You home? I'm Tadashi Muramaro, your new roommate." Tadashi called out as he took off his shoes carefully. From deep within he heard stirring. Tadashi's eyes widened and it was as if dramatic music struck up, time slowed, all of it happened as Tadashi slowly turned his head in the direction of the noise.

What awaited him was a skeletal man, blonde choppy hair, gray droopy eyes, and a frown.
"Roommate. . . Call me Don." Tadashi stared at him and nodded slowly. Tadashi set his bags down and turned to Don.

"Wanna get Chinese takeout?"

"First thing you've said I didn't get annoyed by." Don said smiling for the first time and tossing Tadashi a soda.

{OOC||My roomie NPC, he's a super skinny human dude called Donald Willis. Just Don, but when someone makes a new character Don will transfer to a different school and such yada yada...}

Eolande was tuned into the speech, clinging onto every word Miss BlackWall said. Then with a sweet smile she walked out, using the map she had asked for before the speech. Following the map, she found the notice board and on there was the room listings.

Room 168. A roommate and everything! How exciting! Eolande smiled and headed off toward the dorm. According to the boards, her roommate was a human by the name of Victoria Rotheram. A lovely handle for a lovely woman. Maybe she was like a princess! Regal and graceful as a swan. Or perhaps she is some sort of punk, dyed hair and dozens of weird piercings with some under-handed motives for sweet little Eolande! Either way Eolande was super excited to meet her.

Walking up to the door. The key was still there, meaning Victoria hadn't arrived yet.
I know, I'll make her a sweet treat before she arrives! Eolande opened the door and stepped in. It was simple and clean. Rolling up her sleeves and heading into the small kitchenette Eolande hummed a happy song as she began cooking up some candies. The sweet scents of cooking filled the dorm. Eolande began to sing, not just hum, as she picked up her pace and began to decorate the foods. She got them done quicker than she had expected.

Eolande set them down on a table and began unpacking.

Hikari yawned as the Speech finally finished, She heard the speech but it seemed to go into one ear and come out the other. Sluggishly Hikari stumbled towards the reception desk.

Her eyes seemed to sparkle ignoring everything else on the board except the room pairings and room number, Abbey Rose was the name of her roommate, After pondering the look of her new friend for 10 minutes, She skipped towards her dorm, All feelings of exhaustion seemed to disappear, As a badly scribbled map fell out of her chest pocket.

Remembering that there was one key left at the office, She noticed that her new roommate hasn't arrived yet, While walking to the dorms, She recalled, "Wait....Where is the Dorm?" She patted her pockets and realized she didn't have the map anymore, Turning back to find it, Behind her seemed to be another Maze, After a few seconds of careful analysis she realized "I'm lost..".

"I'll never find this stupid dorm..." She mumbled, It seemed she was walking in circles, Getting even more lost with every turn she took, After aimlessly walking around, She let out a yell of frustration and gave up. "Why is this place so big...I'll probably have to sleep on the ground tonight" She frowned. "All this walking, Shouldn't be bestowed on one individual, Curse you God, She said waving a fist in the air, Clouds in the sky seemed to be getting into a formation until A large middle finger was gleaming down on her, As this spectacle was occurring, She walked to a bench, Dropped her luggage, and drifted off to sleep.

Victoria adjusted the giant headphones on her ears. She returned their volume after hearing what she felt was necessary from the headmistress. The music's calming noise soothed the fear growing in her gut. After much of the crowd dispersed, Victoria slipped out into the hall. She thought she caught a glimpse of white, but shook her head. The line in front of her moved slowly, until she received her dorm room number. Oh, wonderful. I'm lucky enough to be pared with a non-human. Why couldn't I have been alone? she thought to herself. Before heading up to the dorms, Victoria thought that it wouldn't be an awful idea to explore the area. She wandered around the campus, but only managed to see a little before hunger pains told her to head to her dorm room. Disappointed and nervous about her future meeting with her new roommate, Victoria headed to the dorm room she had been assigned.

Upon opening the door, she was greeted to the scent of baked goods. She sneezed he foreign smell out of her nose involuntarily, and headed to the refrigerator. Ignoring the tray of sweets, she rummaged about in the fridge, desperately looking for something. Victoria let out a sigh of disappointment. No strawberries. What surprised her most was that she was surprised. She looked over at the tray of sweets. The thought of strawberries being cooked into those treats horrified her. A knock came to the door. As she opened it, she found only a pile of hideous pink luggage, but no person. On each luggage container there was engraved a single word: 'Victoria'. She snarled involuntarily as she hauled each rather heavy case into her assigned room. This had to have been Arthur's doing. That son of a-, she cursed him under his breath as she piled all of the suitcases into the corner of her bedroom. Over the sound of her headphones, she heard something moving in the other room, suggesting that she wasn't alone. Nervous tension gripped at her insides. She briefly wanted to leap out of the window in order to avoid the awkward conversation that was about to ensue.

Arthur was hungry. His soul ached. The light jostling of the vehicle transporting him irritated him greatly. Foolish mortals couldn't bother maintaining a simple road. He didn't understand why they had to try and terraform the Earth for their foolishness. The vehicle slowed down to a halt. His attendants grasped the wooden coffin that he was contained within and hoisted him from the vehicle. Arthur wished he could avoid being carried in such a way, but he still had about an hour of daylight left to wait. His attendants carried him up a few flights of stairs and into a room. The lid on his coffin was removed. Arthur stood up as his four attendants backed away from him. He looked around the room. All of the windows were covered by black sheets, leaving a pale blue lighted glow shining through. There were dozens of desks pushed to one side, indicating that during the day the room was a classroom. Arthur uncrossed his arms from their position over his chest and looked about the room while his attendants prattled on about some speech that the headmistress delivered.
"Spare me the words of a commoner," Arthur mumbled, silencing them, "I am more interested in the possibility of another mortal. Tell me, did you see her?"
"No, sire," his attendant responded, "If she is here, then she eluded us."
A twisted smiled formed on Arthur's lips, "I see. Well, then she has decided to make things difficult for me. No matter. Where are my lodgings supposed to be?" Another of his attendants handed him a slip of paper. Arthur inspected it for a time, and then discarded it as a ball into the rubbish bin. "Someone from the Blir clan. No doubt eager to establish his dominion over me with his mind control. Brave of them to pair two vampires with a human. He'll be dead within the week." His attendants chuckled. Arthur took a wine glass and a glass bottle filled with a thick red liquid from his coffin and poured himself a glass. His men stood guard while he drank from the glass.
"My lord," one of them returned from outside, "Night has fallen."
He wiped the blood from his chin, "Brilliant. I am going to stretch my legs before heading up to my dorm room. Be sure to carry this and my luggage to its proper place." His men carried his coffin off into his dorm room. Without asking for permission, or even explaining who they were or why they were in the room, his men unloaded the coffin and Arthur's chest in his designated room. Additionally, they carried out the bed that had been provided for him, along with much of the paintings on the walls. They carried in several old-fashioned oil paintings in gorgeous bronze frames and hung them up on the walls in his room. Each painting that they carried up depicted a gruesome death.
Meanwhile, Arthur took to strolling around the campus, looking for something. Or perhaps someone...

When the bus arrived Anthony went into the massive hall with the others, he tuned out what the principal had to say with his mp3 player and blasting some Tool into his ears against the background noise.

When she finished he went over to reception and waited in line, singing a few lines under his breath but not realizing that he could be heard as he was singing louder than intended.

"Won't you come a bit closer! Close enough so, I can smell you! I need you to feel this! I need this to make me whole, released in this sodomy, but for one sweet moment I'm whole!" His name was called several times until someone pulled one of the earbuds out of his left ear and he realized it was someone behind him and the receptionist was looking at him sternly.

"Jeez, my bad!" He said sheepishly as he was given a map and told to go to room 171, he was rooming with Tadashi Muramaro and Cultro D'infernum.

"Wow...one werewolf and two demons...what are the odds."

He smelled it from down the hall, he couldn't help it....it was a smell like rotting food, either someone had neglected to bathe for a long time nearby or...

He opened the door to 171 and the wave of stench hit him like never before, "Oh god, I think I'm gonna be sick."

Quickly pulling the pictures of his roomates out of his pocket that were to show him who to look for, he looked back at the duo in front of him.

"Uhh....you're Tadashi, but where's Cultro?"

Her eyes seemed to pop open, As she awoke from her slumber, She loudly exclaimed "Good Morning!" Directing her attention to the blond haired girl. It's been a while since she was able to see a human, much less talk to one.

After waking up, She bombarded the girl with questions, "What is your name? What dorm room are you in? What is your favorite food? What is your favorite finger? What is the meaning of life? What is the name of your pet? Do you sleep on your left side, Middle side or right side of your bed? Am I being annoying? What color is the dress? It was important that Hikari knew everything about her, As she asked the questions she remembered a time where she met an important person

~Flashback, 8 years ago.~

Hikari sat at the window as always, She was too Emotionally weak and Physically weak to do anything much less play outside, She let out a sigh of frustration. As Hikari turned to leave she was stopped by a odd black haired girl."Hello!"She exclaimed. This girl was the party of this orphanage, She was kind, popular and athletic, On top of that she was academically gifted, Scoring highest in every subject at their school. Why wasn't she outside? Well the really question is. Why was she wasting time with me? She thought. Hikari just sighed and walked around the talkative child, However she didn't get very far, The energetic black haired child tackled Hikari to the ground. As they both lay on the ground exhausted, The black haired girl started laughing.

What's so funny?! Hikari angrily exclaimed,
"Nothing, Nothing, It's just that you fell like a brick.She laughed

Hmph! Hikari crossed her arms and looked to the side, As the Black haired girl got up and patted the dust off her pants she said.
"Finally, she speaks" The Black haired girl held her hand up and introduced herself, "My name is Kurai, What's your name?
"Name?"
"You know, The thing you are called" Kurai said
"I don't think I have one.." At birth, She was called something by her mother and she seemed to forget, and the caretakers at the orphanage refer to her as "That one" or "Kid".
"Hikari.." She mumbled
"What did you say?
"How about we call you Hikari?"
"Hikari?"
"Yep, Do you like it?
"Of course!
"Anyways, Lets go outside! She announced
"Yeah!" The two children ran outside as fast as they could, slamming the door behind them, and joining the others.


As the blond haired girl answered the questions, Hikari put her hand out and said.

Normally Lia would have hung onto every word the headmistress had said in her speech, but today her mind was occupied. She felt stares, existent or otherwise, upon her. She heard the whispers and snickers of several peers near her. She smoothed out her outfit and licked her teeth, but couldn't find the reason behind the student's interest in her. Her hands clutched each other like long lost lovers, showing the white of her knuckles. Desperately she tried to tune into one of the whisperings to detect the reason.

"Omg...What the heck is she wearing!" One of the boys said. Lia, completely confused, glanced down. It all of a sudden hit her. She was wearing a kimono. Now, the girl had been aware of what she had been wearing. What she hadn't been aware of was how much she stuck out from the others. Everyone else was wearing either a uniform or a casual t-shirt and pants. The decision to wear the formal garment was not hers but her grandfather's. He had pushed the issue, and Lia did not want to disappoint. The only thing is, she didn't realize she would be so out of place.

Gotta get out of here. Lia thought, as she looked around for an exit. Her eyes went back to the boy who she had heard speak about her. She knitted her eyebrows together, and flashed a shy smile. He merely looked away from her. Sighing, she headed to the closest exit in the hall. That was when she felt the shoving and pushing from her peers. Apparently the Headmistress was done with what she had to say and the students were dismissed.

Lia struggled for a bit but eventually let the crowd carry her to the exit. When the crowd of students dispersed slightly she broke free to baby step it to the front desk to grab her information. Unfortunately her platform shoes were not for speedy things, so she didn't make it quite in the front. She got to about the middle of the line, and waited impatiently for her turn.

"Orelia Mori, please!" Lia announced to the woman behind the desk. The lady was slow to give her her information but Lia took it and bowed in thanks. Once again she started baby stepping it, but this time towards her room which she found out was 170. Her complete focus was on trying to find her room and change into her uniform so no one else could notice her, so that left Lia completely oblivious to the surroundings around her.

It had been easy for Lia to find the hallway to her room, but then again she had memorized the whole school several weeks before. The door was already open to her surprise, but she did not let that subdue her. She quickly entered and was about to take off her shoes when she noticed several guys chatting. Her brown eyes widened in horror. Slowly backing up in a bowed position she headed out the door and back into the hallway, hoping no one in room 171 had noticed her.

If it was one thing Cultro hated it was running late. He had visited his mother in hell for the summer, and of course he had managed to calculate the time on earth wrong, so when he reentered the over world he was a couple hours late for the bus. Fortunately he was able to steal some poor biker's motorcycle, and when he finally reached Blackwall he was actually just a few minutes late.

Cultro was entering the grand hall just as the principal finished her speech. Luckily it didn't seem like he had missed much. Probably just something about this years enrollment of humans. To be honest, Cultro wasn't quite sure how he felt about the whole humans and supernaturals living side by side thingy. Of course it was great that he could now probably strike thousands of deals with the mortals, but that was probably against school policy.

He didn't get much time in the grand hall before people started to walk over to the reception or something to get their roomnumbers. It was with surprisement that he noticed that they had put him in a room with other people. The previous years he had been living in a one man room, which was waaay more suitable to him. Did the school not respect his authority anymore? Well, he would just have to make the best out of it. Complaining wasn't really in his nature.

".....but where's Cultro?" He could hear someone ask just as he walked up to the room. With a sly grin he took a stranglehold on the guy and said: "Standing right behind you, any final words?" Cultro said with a laugh before releasing the wearwolf and stepping inside the room. The smell of rotten meat was really unpleasant. "I claim window bunk" Cultro said and threw his bag on the bed near the window.

Arthur's speed made the tour about the grounds child's play. He stopped near the outskirts to gaze upon the sky's fading blue light. The crisp air carried with it promises of a delightful year, especially for him. Then, he heard the faintest of whispers, which caused his ears to twitch involuntarily. Hurriedly he glanced over to find the source of the noise. His eyes gazed upon the face of a lovely blonde human girl. If he had a heart, it may well had started racing then and there. Right as soon as he spotted her, she vanished. His lips curled into an involuntary smirk. What untold surprises you have in store for me, Blackwall. I may yet enjoy my time here. His eyes fell upon the other person who had just been talking to the human girl. His nose wrinkled in disgust. Her holy blood taunted him, threatening a blissful meal, but he knew it to be poison. Without a word, Arthur ducked away to the other side of the dorm room. His fateful encounter with the human girl would have to be postponed, at least for the moment.

Arthur sauntered up the stairs, eagerly looking for his room number. Just as he arrived, he slipped back down the stairs. The human girl unlocked her door and entered her own room down the hall. While he could easily snag her and whisk her away, Arthur wanted to have a little more fun. After she had gone, he found his own room. As he turned the knob, he thought he heard someone in the room already. The last thing he wanted was to find his attendant, or perhaps the human male barking orders and pretending that the school's precious rules would save him. Arthur let out a sigh and opened the door. Inside, he found someone sitting in a peculiar position. He narrowed his eyes, unsure of what to make of it.
"Ah. You must be the human boy, Steven. Why are you sitting like that? Did you injure yourself in some way?" Arthur closed the door behind him and entered the room gracefully.

As the bus came to a not-so-gentle stop, Steven's body shifted forward, his barely conscious mind hardly aware of this movement until his forehead met with the seat in front of him. He jolted upward, quick to place a hand on his head, though mostly in confusion over pain. He'd fallen asleep shortly after boarding, being unable to stay asleep the night before. The door to the bus opened as his eyes moved to the window beside him, deciding to wait for the other passengers to get off first so he wouldn't be caught in the crowd. To think he'd get an invite to a school he didn't even remember applying for, but his parents were far too excited for him to just turn it down. It was supposed to be a pretty top-notch school, after all. From what he could see past the hundreds of bodies that were shuffling through the newly opened gates, the place looked more like a 16th century castle than a school.

"Hey, you getting off already or what?"

"Uh? Yes, sorry!" Realizing that he'd been sitting there a few seconds longer than he thought, he slid out of his seat with a red a black striped duffel back over his shoulder. Pulling his suitcase out after him, he stepped off the bus and followed the crowd with the plain blue, over-stuffed suitcase in tow.

He tried to keep to the sidelines as he stood amongst the bodies of students as the headmaster introduced herself and listed off a number of rules in which Steven paid close attention though, though he couldn't help but feel like some of them seemed a little sinister, more specifically the subject of punishment that would be given if a rule would be broken by someone. Having a curfew of seven thirty sounded kind of early for a bunch of teenagers to abide by too, but rules were rules.

It took him a while before he finally managed to make it to the front of the line and learn his room number. This would be the first time he'd ever been assigned a dorm, but it would be good preparation for college, at least. With his eyes following the paper map in his hand, he searched for room 172, taking a few wrong turns here and there before he spotted the numbered door. He stood in front of it for a moment before knocking a couple times, not wanting to startle anyone by entering unannounced, and turning the knob, noting that it was currently unlocked before letting himself in.

Though he noticed that there were two people already here, the first thing that caught his attention was the less-than-pleasant decor. Whoever he was dorming with had some odd taste, to say the least. He reacted by stopping suddenly and scanning the room with a somewhat awkward expression on his face. "This..is.."

His gaze stopped on the the others in the room and he straightened up a little, trying to give at least a small smile despite his discomfort of the room decoration. He'd definitely be rearranging whichever side was his. "Hi, I'm Steven Markson. I guess we're roommates."

He nearly moved forward, ready to make his way to the bed that appeared untouched against the other side of the room, but he stopped as his foot tapped something on the floor. Looking down, he realized that he'd nearly stepped on someone shoes. "Oh," he said mostly to himself before removing his own shoes and placing them against the wall. He made his way over to the empty bed and dropped his duffel bag on it, then turned to face the other two.

"So who's Arthur and who's Liam?"

Coughing a bit after being strangled by who he could guess was Cultro, he looked at his roommates and blinked. "Uhhh...so you're Cultro, you're Tadashi....so..who're you?" He asked Don.

When Cultro mentioned something about taking the window bunk, Anthony let out a very canine sounding whine. "Come oooon, I need that one! I feel like I'm going into sensory overload from this stink!"

Turning to Don his eyes narrowed slightly, "Did you do all this? Cause depending on your answer, I may or may not have to eat you." Anthony smirked, showing his sharp teeth.

Blake sighed as it held out the small paper with it's schedual and room number on it. The spell allowing it to hold the paper glittered silver at the edges, warding runes in silver ink. The door was a plain door, nothing special about it at all to make the human world seem any less dull to the wisp. The bored spirit sighed again, floating forward and through the door and looked mournfully at the bed it couldn't actually use.

"Rooming with a human, how dull." It sighed and made as if to flop back onto the bed, floating mere milimeters above it to give the illusion of relaxing on it. Blake's pale blue hair all but glowed in the mid day sun as it shifted into different gender and sighed morosly.

"How cruel. Such rules; what fun is there if I can't play some practicle jokes and get others in trouble! It's inhumane!" He kicked his feet in the air and watched the tiny skull buttons on his boots shine against black crocodile leather. He rolled onto his stomach and moodily pouted.

"Unfair, unfair. How ever shall I live!?"

"Ahhhhh!!" Orelia screamed. She had just walked up behind a blonde haired girl seconds away from asking if she was to be her new roommate. It hadn't taken her long to correct herself after entering the wrong room, and her door was even unlocked, hanging wide open to the world. She had silently groaned, hoping that she would be the first roommate in but that wasn't as bad as the random scream she heard coming from the dorm room.

The black haired girl slapped her hands over her mouth, slightly embarrassed at her unreasonable scream. Peering around the other girl's shoulder, Lia couldn't pinpoint the reason to her distress. She quickly stepped around the girl to further investigate. Nothing. Except for maybe the lack of colors and tasteless decorations. Completely forgetting about the blonde, Lia started to plan out decorating ideas for the dorm to make it feel like home for her. Reposition some things, add a couple pieces here and there, and have some incense around to get the musk she was smelling out. She turned around to face the girl, finally remembering where she was and who she was with.

"A-are you alright, miss?" Lia asked the other girl. She really didn't know what to do in this situation so she awkwardly looked at the girl's blue eyes, tilting her head slightly. Almost immediately she looked away from the girl's eyes feeling self-conscience within seconds. As she waited for a response she thought about her shoes. Her main goal in getting to the room so fast was to change. Lia couldn't decide whether she should take her shoes or not and in the end, she decided not too. The blonde girl might think it rude.

"Abbey Rose..."

Abbey Rose, Of course, Her roommate, Fortunately the only thing she actually remembered that was on the board was, Of course her Roommate. However when she turned to inform the two being roommates. ".....Where did she go.." Hikari looked ubiquitously, and she was nowhere to be found. A dejected frown formed on the silver haired girl's face "Godda..."Hikari bit her tongue, Barely stopping herself from spitting profanity, She remembered that swearing wasn't a angelic thing to do, Remembering her father's words, "Swearing is not something you should grow accustomed to, God has forgave the sins of the humans, However don't try to lump yourself with them, You chose to be an angel, Learn to be one Hikari rubbed the top of her head, Remembering the blunt blow she was given after the talk. "Old man.." Hikari clenched her teeth, picked up her luggage and strolled in a random direction. Not caring where she would end up.

CHUNK! Taking a detour, Hikari picked up the soda that withdrawed from the vending machine, After collecting the change, She gazed at the sky, It seemed to be late. After opening the soda that was clenched between her fingers and taking a quick sip, She went into the same direction as before, stopping in front of the dorm, She casually strolled inside, Dropping the empty soda can in a nearby trash can and walked to the room, Not bothering to stop to befriend the two people that were in front of the door. Before they could speak, She inadvertently walked inside, Threw her luggage aside, and fell asleep in the nearest bed.

Ace swirled the glass of amber liquid in his hand with a bored expression on his face. He couldn't believe the turn of events. Only a few weeks prior, he was living his life free and the way he had always wanted. Nobody was after him, and he knew some measure of peace. He knew it was too good to last, and, soon enough, his past caught up to him. The phone next to him vibrated on the bar top. Lazily he flipped it over and glanced down at the screen. All it said was his room number and the time for classes to begin. With a sigh, Ace paid for his drink, slipped on his coat and scarf, and stepped out of the bar. He hailed a cab and arrived at Blackwall High within minutes. Before heading up to get settled in at his room, Ace decided to explore the grounds. Much to his surprise, he found that most of the students had already gone to their rooms in the dorm. Naturally, he didn't know what to say if he found a student wandering around after curfew. Probably some half-ass speech before escorting them back to their room. Ace doubted that he would have even mentioned it to someone else. While he wandered about, he shuffled his deck of cards in one hand absentmindedly. He spotted a teenager out of the corner of his eye slipping into the dorm. A small sense of dread built up in his gut. Oh great. Just what I needed, Ace thought to himself. He circled the building, buying himself some time and enjoying the night air.

Arthur stared at Liam directly in the eye for a few minutes, unblinking. Liam was not what he expected. He expected, daresay fantasized, a bloodthirsty vampire ready to challenge him. What he found before him was a spineless whimpering dog by comparison. Slowly, his eyes flickered over to Steven. Arthur studied Steven's disgust in the paintings that Arthur had hung on the wall.
"I am Arthur Rotheram, and I am apparently your roommate, human named Steven. Tell me, do you feel safe in this room?" His blood red eyes watched his expression hungrily. "These paintings, they are to your liking, yes? No, you both hate them. They are the subject of violent murders. Now, why would I hang such things on the wall in full view of everyone who would come to visit?" Arthur glided across the room, his fangs sparkling in the light. He stopped to look out of the window.
"The answer is simple," he replied to his own question, "These are paintings of my enemies. Foes that I butchered with these hands. After I killed them, I burned them to cinders and used their ashes to create these masterpieces you see before you now. This may be hard to comprehend at this time, human named Steven, but the enemies I have are ones that do not die so easily. These paintings are here so I can keep an eye on them. Do you have enemies, human named Steven?" Arthur's unsettling gaze fell upon Liam once more. I know you can hear me, Blir. Unless the legends of your powerful mental capabilities are exaggerated. You wish to kill this human, don't you? You hear his blood pulsing in his veins, yes? Go ahead, indulge in your baser instincts, and devour the human. We share the same desires. I won't stand in your way... Arthur smiled at Steven, feigning innocence.

Tadashi and Don had just ordered Chinese, however Don's phone rang telling him he was being expelled. Picking up a snake off the ground that Tadashi hadn't noticed before, then Don looked to Tadashi and spoke nonchalantly.

"I got expelled again. Thanks for nothing Tad."

"Wha- Don?!" Before anything else could happen Don nodded and walked out, passing a gray haired kid on his way. Tadashi closed his mouth as the boy walked in, stricken by the smell.

"Oh God, I think I'm gonna be sick. . ." The boy said composing himself. "Uhh. . .You're Tadashi, but where's Cultro?" Tadashi looked at the boy and narrowed his eyes. New roommates. Tadashi looked the boy up and down and was about to speak when another man, who Tadashi assumed to be Cultro walked in. Then he claimed window. Tadashi had wanted window.

"Uh, well I had called window before you even arrived. Oh I'm Tadashi. Tadashi Muramaro! Arch-demon extraordinaire! Ah-ha-ha!" Tadashi put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily. He wasn't sure about his new roomies but he wanted to have them as underlings, maybe even friends in his new world order.
