Elfen High (IC)

[Nature-Spirits]

Lafma smiled at the class entering his classroom.
"Hello," he said when they were settled. "I am Mr. Grym, the teacher of Philosophy. Today we will be focusing on a branch of Philosophy known as 'Metaphysics'. What do you know about Philosophy and Metaphysics?" he asked, waiting for one of the students to answer. Hopefully this class would be more knowledgeable than the last one...

[Vortiaganica]

Rana looked around the class, waiting for someone to answer.

This sort of philosophy was nothing like his own morals - there was a subject for it?

It might sound interesting, but he knew nothing about it.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

After Shop class, the students quickly left the classroom. The door was kind of flooded, so Shyla and Alastor/Alan were left as the last to leave. When they met they introduced themselves and talked all the way to Philosophy class, where Shyla sat at the front and Alan near the back.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

James hated philosophy. It was boring. The only thing that made it worthwhile were the pretty girls. And boys too sometimes.

He sat in the back of the class far from the door, leaning back and casually watching the other students come in. Each one he assigned a place on his cuteness spectrum between 0 and 10. Rarely did anyone reach even an 8, and more often than not it was the 2's or 3's that ended up sitting beside him. Maybe today would be different.

"The branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the basic nature of being and the world." said Sachin, cleverly hiding the IPhone he had just used to wiki the info in his pocket.

[Ameriganastan]

Laz sneaked in last to philosophy. Knowing this was going to be another class that flew over his simple head, he took a seat near the back for once, next to James.

Chemistry, philosophy...whatever that first class was...sweet Lucifer, I'm starting to regret coming here.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

James casually appraised the newcomer, then frowned. Another 2. Then he slumped over his desk and fell asleep.

[Nature-Spirits]

"The branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the basic nature of being and the world." said Sachin, cleverly hiding the IPhone he had just used to wiki the info in his pocket.

"Very good," said Lafma. "Now, we will be exploring this for the next week or two, so I would like you all to take that to heart. It will be important if you wish to understand what I'm talking about."
Lafma smiled and continued on...

[Nightkill the Emperor]

After a few hours of lecturing, Philosophy ended. The group went into lunch.

The lunchroom was massive. It could fit at least two thousand people at a time, but that may have been needed considering the sheer size of the school itself. Sachin looked for a vegetarian option, and was surprised it existed. He got some french fries, cheese pizza and a vegetarian burger and sat himself with Ranatanga at a nearby table.

Calliel bought a pizza, after seeing so many people do so, and sat down at a table by himself. There weren't many people for him to sit with.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

After Philosophy ended, Alastor/Alan got up from his seat at the back of the classroom and left for the lunchroom. He was only mildly impressed. It was good, for a human creation. He would have liked it to be adorned more in the style of his lands back in Hell Planet, but he didn't mind that so much. He went to sit on a table by himself.

---

Meanwhile, Shyla was one of the first people to leave the Philosophy classroom. She had quite enjoyed the class, if only because it gave her several things to think about. Mr. Grym seemed quite nice too. She made her way to the lunchroom as well, and grabbed little food. She wasn't really hungry, but she knew she would be later if she didn't eat.

After she got her food, Shyla looked around. She saw a tall guy with short black hair (Calliel) sitting by himself, and decided to give him some company. She sat down by him and greeted him. "Hello." She said.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

Despite the many tables available, all of the students save the first years were standing up in places where they could see the center. They knew what to expect, and James never disappointed. He seemed to come out of nowhere, jumping and flipping his way over the tables and heads in the center of the cafeteria. Cheers and gasps of awe erupted from the students, although there were quite a few audible boos and groans as well. At the end, the acrobatic Canadian topped it all off by taking a slice of pizza from the hand of a scruffy-looking 16-year-old freshman (Calliel) right when the kid was about to take a bite, tossed it in the air, did three backflips, caught the pizza, and landed right beside the wall, leaning against it like absolutely nothing had happened. Bowing to the applause he had come to know and love since his first year here, he turned and casually walked off down the hallway, chowing down on the piece of pizza he had just stolen.

[Nature-Spirits]

Baelvan and Lafma made their way toward the staffroom, meeting at a hallway intersection.
"Hello, brother."
"Hello, brother."
They continued on to the staffroom. Were there any new teachers this year?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Calliel frowned. "That was rude." he said, staring at the hand that had held pizza just shortly before. He nodded to the girl next to him. "Hello there. I have to get some more pizza now." he stood up and went to the front of the line and grabbed some.
--------------
"James!" Mr. Crowley greeted the student, following him down the hall. "Excellent trick." the Vice-Principal grinned. "Never gets old, though it was a bit cruel to the kid."

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Shyla frowned slightly at James, somewhat pissed at his rudeness. However, when Calliel spoke, she nodded to him. "By the way, what is your name?" She asked him after he got back. "Mine's Shyla." She said.

---

Alastor/Alan was more than busy with his shitty food to even care about the stunt. He did, however, get slightly pissed at the noise, but that was another story. He kept eating, sitting all by himself on his table.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

James rolled his eyes. He'd never liked Crowley. The VP constantly took away from James' fun by approving it. Staff members aren't supposed to approve of his shenanigans. "Yeah, sure, thanks Mr. Crowley." He said off-handedly, picking up his pace a little. Hopefully the dumbass would leave him alone. He was trying to figure out a way to get with the freshman who's pizza he had just stolen, and that takes a lot of mental power, particularly when you stole the kid's lunch.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Lilith exited her classroom, Mr. Black and Mr. White following shortly after. She hurriedly tried to lose them, hoping to spend her lunch in peace. Unfortunately, they had longer legs. And even though they moved in lockstep, they were managing to keep perfect pace with her. She hoped she'd be able to confuse them, but they had the map. That was never good. Sighing in defeat, she adjusted her hat as she entered the staff room. Lilith didn't bother to get lunch, and instead put money into the machine to get a few granola bars and a bottle of water. Better than nothing. She would wait for the other teachers to come in. Who knows, maybe they wouldn't mind Mr. Black and Mr. White following her around all the time.

Lilith knew that was a stupid thought.

The odd pair simply sat in the corner, like always. Not eating, not drinking. Nor moving or making a sound. Just sitting there, like a pair of statues. No matter how long she watched them, they never seemed to even blink. She had known them for thousands of years, and Lilith had yet to get used to it.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

James rolled his eyes. He'd never liked Crowley. The VP constantly took away from James' fun by approving it. Staff members aren't supposed to approve of his shenanigans. "Yeah, sure, thanks Mr. Crowley." He said off-handedly, picking up his pace a little. Hopefully the dumbass would leave him alone. He was trying to figure out a way to get with the freshman who's pizza he had just stolen, and that takes a lot of mental power, particularly when you stole the kid's lunch.

Crowley nodded. "See you at the assembly later today." he said, walking off and whistling.
----------------
Calliel nodded politely. "Nice to meet you, Skyla. I am Calliel." he introduced himself formally.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

James ran off once Crowley was out of sight. He needed to think. After awhile he figured out the best way to approach the newbie was to "accidentally" bump into him in the hallways or after school. With that figured out, he gobbled down the last of the pizza and went into the computer lab to troll an Internet website called NationStates.

(;D)

[Zarkenis Ultima]

(SH, not SK)

Shyla nodded and smiled at Calliel. "Nice to meet you Calliel." She said kindly.

Meanwhile, Alastor/Alan was once again flipping a coin on a secluded table. He was pretty bored. "Now if only I had brought the mirror along, I could be bitching L'Enfer." He muttered to himself as he toyed around.

[Nature-Spirits]

Baelvan and Lafma were eating their lunch, sitting side by side, when Lilith entered the staffroom.
"Hello," they said to her.
"I am Alder Grym, teacher of Philosophy," said Lafma,
"And I'm Van Ether, teacher of Botany."
They smiled at her.

[Olthar]

Pari had greatly enjoyed her Philosophy class. It was one of the subjects that she was good at. Leaving, she stopped off at the bathroom before heading off to lunch. On her way, she ran into a boy by the name of James. Pari recognized him as he was rather famous around the school, however she didn't particularly like him. He was too much of a show-off and rather whorish, too. Pari was just glad that he hadn't yet decided to try going after her. Maybe he just didn't like short girls, even if they were supernaturally beautiful, or it could have been Whiskers who drove him away. Whatever the reason, Pari sighed in relief after passing him without incident. He seemed too busy eating a slice of pizza, anyways, no doubt one that he stole.

After reaching the lunch hall, she got herself a salad along with a handful of nuts for Whiskers. Then, looking around, she saw Shyla sitting with a very tall boy who she recognized from her classes. Pari hoped that Shyla wasn't too busy to help her with Chemistry.

Walking over, she sat down at the table, smiling cheerfully, "Hey, Shyla. Remember me?"

Victoria was glad to finally be done with the classes for the day as there was apparently some sort of assembly after lunch. Leaving her class, she made her way to the staff room.

Well, we've gotten through the first day of classes, and it didn't turn out all that bad, her psicrytal said.

Shifting, the psicrystal also added, Yup, just power through the rest of them like that, and we won't have to worry about them anymore.

Victoria scoffed, I don't really care. I'm not here for the classes. I'm here to find out what this "magic" stuff is. Don't forget that.

Of course not, I was just saying...

Yeah, whatever.

Victoria entered the staff room, walked over to a chair in the corner, and sat down. She didn't bother getting any food, as she didn't strictly need to eat, and she figured that any food they had here probably wasn't worth it. Ignoring the other teachers, she closed her eyes and started meditating, blocking off the world around her. If she didn't actually need to show up to that assembly, she could get her four hours of trancing done right here, allowing her to spend the entire night searching for clues around the school that may help her figure out its secrets.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Shyla turned around only to see Pari, the short girl that had asked her to form a team for Shop class. She smiled at her when Pari addressed her. "Oh, yes! I remember you. Pari, right?" Shyla said kindly.

---

Meanwhile, Alastor/Alan, bored out of his in truth demonic skull, went to the hallways.

[Olthar]

"Yup. So who's this you're sitting with?" Pari asked, motioning to the boy sitting next to Shyla.

As Pari was starting to converse, Whiskers hopped off her shoulder and began happily munching on the small pile of nuts before him, squeaking in delight.

[Ameriganastan]

Laz wondered around lost for a few minutes, but finally found his way to the lunchroom. Smiling like he hadn't ate in days, he grabbed a tray and piled on just about everything he could get his hands on. He found his way to an empty table and set his food down.

Hope no one notices. Don't need my disguise getting busted because I'm hungry

Checking to make sure no one was paying attention to him, he exhaled, his mouth increasing in size slightly, his teeth taking on a noticeable sharpness.

"Lunch time."

He dug in like a starving madman. Table manners. One of the things he didn't have. Which anyone looking over would know. Especially since he ate his fork and simply started using his hands after a few moments.

[Hardened Pyrokinetics]

Near the end of lunch, James left the computer room and went straight for the assembly hall, already set up for the assembly this afternoon. He paced it out, figuring out where the best places to make an ass out of himself would be, then hid behind one of the bleachers and waited.

This was gonna be fun.
