Marcus Gorchek's Story

Jacob moved towards the school gates, his steps perfectly placed. With each move of his body his mind automatically processed information quickly and easily, making sure that it was doing the right thing and the best thing. Jacob had his bag thrown over his shoulder and could feel the weight of the books he was carrying pull down on him a little. They were all things he would need though as a teacher, he’d packed only the things that he would need for the start of the school year. He’d never been a teacher before but it was good that he hadn’t been too late; his arrival had been perfect for such a sudden trip. He’d not planned on doing anything like this a week ago and here he was, milling around with all of the others. He called them others not as some insult or name but rather because they were as alien to him as he was to them, he couldn’t understand how their minds worked at all. It didn’t matter what race you were, numbers made more sense to Jacob than people. Yet this was also the reason he was here, to learn, to understand, to make a connection; this was where he would learn that one thing that had always eluded him, how to connect. Jacobs gaze flicked forward to the towering gates of the school, still closed sadly but something about them was inviting. He’d spent so long studying and researching, being on the forefront of every scientific and magical frontier. It would be interesting to take a shot at teaching for once.

Jacob flexes his hand a little as he studied the gates, it seemed as though they were magically inscribed and every part of him wanted to study them. His gauntlet could draw a little energy from it for him to study but that might make some problems. He stood in the middle of the street, his eyes studying every part of the school gates before him; his mind was filled with numbers and symbols as he looked on.



Marcus walked clumsily out of the boat; he’d slept the entire trip and had only just woken up. Everything before him was blurry, his body ached and he had a cut on his arm that was bleeding. Every part of him was dilapidated and beaten up, his limbs hanging like strands of meat with barely enough energy to move. The very blow of the wind threatened to knock him over and into the sea. When he’d first pulled himself out of his bunk the sailor that had woken him had thought he was gonna die, collapse right there on the boat. Marcus had managed to pull himself out into the sunlight though as he closed his eyes, he raised a shaky hand to his chest and held his necklace in his hand. With a thought he severed the link between him and the necklace, stopping the drainage of all of his strength and senses. He always tried to store up some stuff for his heirloom while he slept, it was a good way to do it but it made him too weak to do anything during the day so he had to stop it when he awoke.

With the link severed it was like seeing him shift into a whole new person. His body stood straighter, his eyes unclouded and his muscled filled out more. He turned from a man who might have been dead at one moment to a strong handsome man. He glanced at the wound on his arm, a wound that had not healed overnight so that he could store up some healing in his heirloom along with everything else. He called up a little of that stored energy and the flesh knitted itself back together again within a second. He couldn’t go bleeding on everyone after all. As always it seemed as though a wave of sensations hit him, one moment he could barely hear or see and the next he was taking in everything, it always brought him close to sensory overload.

Marcus walked forward on his renewed legs, some stunned sailors watching him go. He moved easily and with a cockiness that would have made his brother cry. His eyes quickly found the café, and an old friend chatting with two angels. With a grin on his face Marcus walked towards them, unicorns might normally be polite and respectful but he had no issues with butting into a conversation. He moved up behind Kisa and wrapped his arms around her neck as he answered the angel that had been talking. He said with a grin on his face and a wink at the female across from him. “She’s the little spawn of a god; the owl here should give away which one. Sorry to but in…well that’s a lie, I’m not sorry at all to but in when there are two such pretty ladies in front of me”

Samson smirked a little. "I don't know who you are, but I for one think that you may be a little too cocky, pal!" He sipped his latte again. "Well, no matter! Please, have a seat!" Who does this guy think he is, thinking he can win Enkeli's affection so easily? If I know her well enough, and I do, she's not that easy to get! "So, what's your name, and what would you be, exactly?"

Kisa smiled to Enkeli and Samson “it’s a pleasure to meet you both, and this little owl on my shoulder is Snippy, she has been with me since she was born. I called her Snippy because she likes nip at my fingers” she pushed her hair out of her face “Ah angels that is very nice…” she was about to tell them what she was when she felt hands go around her neck which made her jump but calmed a little when she heard his voice “She’s the little spawn of a god; the owl here should give away which one. Sorry to but in…well that’s a lie, I’m not sorry at all to but in when there are two such pretty ladies in front of me” She turned her head and saw Marcus “Marky!” she turned her whole body and gave him a hug then turned around “Enkeli, Samson this is Marcus. He is a good friend of mine. And what he meant is I am a child of a goddess, Athena.” She then patted to the seat to her “take a seat Marky”.

Enkeli watched as a man came up behind Kisa and put his arms around her. She looked at him when he said,
“She’s the little spawn of a god; the owl here should give away which one. Sorry to but in…well that’s a lie, I’m not sorry at all to but in when there are two such pretty ladies in front of me”
Her cheeks turned a pink color and she broke her gaze at him. "Thank you. You're pretty handsome yourself." She looked back at him and smiled friendly. Then looking back to Kisa, who hugged the man and then introduced him.
"Nice to meet you Marcus." She said. "And wow, Athena, the goddess of wisdom right? You must be a genius!" more intrigued now, people who were smart always interested her because she wasn't what you'd call very intelligent. Though she studied hard, things didn't come to her easily which caused her trouble in school. Maybe Kisa wouldn't mind helping her study sometime if they became friends.

Marcus moved off of Kisa and took the offered chair. His gaze moved from one angel to the other, taking in as much about them as he could. He could see the slight blush on the girls cheeks and it made him smile as she called him handsome; he could also see the annoyance in the males’ voice and tone. It seemed as though his demeanor changed entirely by his arrival. A slight joy came to Marcus from that. He leaned back in his chair as he said to him in reply. “I my good sir, am a very cocky and amazing horse with a horn. I don’t see how one can ever be too cocky” With that done he turned a little to face the girl some more and said with a small smile on his lips and as he pointed the side of Kisa’s head a little. “She’s a regular old brainiac let me tell you, I’ve never met anyone smarter I think”

Enkeli's eye flicked between Marcus, Kisa, and Samson as they spoke. It didn't seem like Samson liked Marcus very much. She just smiled politely like she always did.
“She’s a regular old brainiac let me tell you, I’ve never met anyone smarter I think” Marcus then replied to her comment. She must've grown up being incredibly intelligent, and something about Kisa's demeanor just made her look more superior, or smart she guessed. She laughed lightly, being an angel, everything you did seemed to be nice and airy, everything was a floaty dream. This bothered some people incredibly. Enkeli herself didn't notice, but some others could if they liked it or not.
Looking at the clock on the wall, she mentioned, "I think the gates are open now. We should head over to the school." She personally hated to be late, and she didn't want to miss any introductions or tours because she knew she'd be completely lost. She decided against flying there, only because she'd leave her new friends behind if they wanted to walk with her. She took her suitcase, and pulled it along with her as she walked to the door. As she opened it, a gust of wind blew her hair and rustled her feathers. The sky was cloudy, and it looked like there may be a storm later. Leaving the shop, she walked outside and saw a crowd going towards the school. Joining them, she walked with the rest of the group.

Sorel

Sorel heard Mr. Deneuve coming and she turned her head to seem him come over to her. “You ready, Sorel?” she rolled her eyes “Ready? Oh yes I am so ready for a bunch of hormonal mythical teenagers, lets get this show on the road!” she said sarcastically and got up. She watched the gates open and then followed Mr. Deneuve to the amphitheater “so can I sit in the way back and just watch please?”


Kisa

Kisa shook her head when Marcus answered Enkeli’s question about her “You know I can answer for myself Marky, and I am not that smart” she hate talking about herself, and tried to get off topic but as she was going to ask something she heard Enkeli say "I think the gates are open now. We should head over to the school." “Ah yes we should go I would not like to be late for this” she got up when Enkeli got up and took Marcus’s hand “lets go handsome” she then followed behind Enkeli and Samson to the gates “Well I am glad we will be in the school together Marky”.

Jacob

Jacob blinked as the gates started to swing open, he’d been lost in his mind again, thinking of a thousand things at once. It would have to be a habit that he got out of soon; he turned as he heard the words come tumbling upon him. He hadn’t seen the girl come up but she was there somehow so she must have done just that. He forced one of his smiles upon his face as he spoke back to her. “good to meet you, I am Jacob Koshack. I shall be teaching the Algebra 1 and 2 here.” He turned his gaze back towards the campus as he began to move, he stopped though as a thought came to him. He was supposed to be making friends and it would do him no good not to interact a little. He turned back and grinned a hopefully friendly way and extended his hand to her for a shake. This was what one did to a new college yes?

Marcus

Marcus stood with a smile on his face as he shoved his hands into his pockets. He turned to Kisa as he walked towards the school a little, he said to her with a small laugh upon his lips. “and here I thought I was just so loveable. It’s good to see you again girlie and I’m happy you’ll be here to make it interesting; maybe I’ll let you answer next time. ” He turned back a little and said as he passed the male angel, Samson. “Don’t worry, I have a habit of growing on you” He moved back him and let his hand brush a lock of hair out of the Enkelis’ face and said with another wink at her. “and I hope you’ll be letting me grow on you cutie” With that done he moved back to Kisa’s side and gave her a smile.

Enkeli must have blushed a rosey pink colour when Marcus moved a piece of hair out of her face. She could feel her cheeks get warm, and she batted her eyelashes a few times to process what had just happened. She smiled sweet and shyly and looked in the opposite direction from the others. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she never felt she did too well with flirting. Anyone could make her feel butterflies in her stomach. She ran her hand over her braid a few times before she was fully relaxed again. She realized she would eventually have to get used to people like him, flirting with every girl. She smoothed out her dress, and stood on her tip-toes trying to see ahead of the crowd. It would be easier if she floated a little, but she decided to just wait it out like everyone else seemed to be doing. Samson didn't look very happy next to her, but she assumed he'd get over it, he always did.

Enkeli shuffled along with everyone else, Marcus and Kisa still beside her.
"Welcome, students, teachers, to your new school. I have been sent to greet you all, and I will show you the way to the opening ceremony. There, further announcement and welcomes will take place, so please follow in as an orderly fashion as you can manage." said a puppet looking doll. She wondered if it was someone's, or if it were it's own.. being?
She continued in to the building, which poured the crowd out into a spacey room. The school was big. Definitely larger than her old school she could tell. It smelled a bit musty, and the room itself would probably be colder if it wasn't for all the bodies crammed into it. She stood leaning more on her right foot, her arm resting on the handle of her suitcase.
She was feeling a bit overwhelmed, because of the new school and new friends, but you couldn't tell by just looking at her. She always kept calm, even in a situation of panic. Her expression was soft, she wasn't smiling but she looked easily approachable. By looking at her you would assume she was a sweet girl, and her eyelashes curled to a point where she looked like she had big doe eyes. Her looks were important to her, and she always tried to appear neat and clean.
She then began to wonder who her dorm mates would be. She had heard on the boat they'd be co-ed. She didn't know how she would feel about this, probably depending on who she was paired up with. Of course, she was keeping a positive attitude about it, she knew she'd be friendly to anyone she met. She then waited for where they would be directed to next.

Sorel

Sorel noticed Mr. Deneuve didn't answer her question about sitting out back so she went and took a seat in the back rows of chairs."You've received your
classes, right?" she looked up and thought about Mr.Deneuve's question "oh that paper that is somewhere on my desk with a bunch of other papers? yes I
got it". She then thought about the other students that will be here soon and sighed, she didnt want them to be coming here, she didn't want to be around others
she liked to be alone. She also was not looking forward to be sharing a room with someone else, she liked her space and was not fond of sharing things "you have to be at least a little excited..." she looked up to Mr.Deneuve and crossed her arms "I am not excited about this at all Deneuve, having a bunch of teenagers
running around here and dealing with them just does not sound exciting at all".


Kisa

Kisa looked around when she saw other students starting to group up around the gates “and here I thought I was just so loveable. It’s good to see you again girlie and I’m happy you’ll be here to make it interesting; maybe I’ll let you answer next time. ” She rolled her eyes "well someone has to be around to keep you on a leash so you don't scare off girls and piss off the boys Marky, and since I am here I can do that" she then watched as Marcus went over to Samson and Enkeli and heard Marcus's comment to Enkeli “and I hope you’ll be letting me grow on you cutie”. She then started to feel abit jealous so when Marcus's came back over to her she put her hand in his and leaned her head against Marcus's shoulder. When she heard someone from upfront give an announcement and told them they could go inside she went with Enkeli and Marcus into the school looking around her wondering how much more knowlege she could learn from here.

Jacob

Jacob stepped in behind Sophinia and into the headmasters room, his eyes scanned the room rather methodically. He didn’t see the headmaster, but then again his eyes were more focused on the walls of the room than anything else. He turned easily and closed the door to the room.

Marcus

Marcus couldn’t help but laugh a little at Kisa. He moved forward with her hanging on to him and with his arm wrapped around her waist. His eyes took in everything, paying attention to both the people milling around and the school itself. He could hear the announcements going on but he didn’t even bother listening really, Kisa was always good for that sort of thing. Marcus couldn’t help but smirk as more than a few of the girls gave him second glances, it seemed that something about Unicorns just attracted girls attentions. He winked back at them with a smirk as he whispered to Kisa in a low and sweet voice. “So you want to put a leash on me? I had no idea that you were that kinky. Besides, don’t worry about me. I can take care of myself I think”
