    >> Aviana Meika - The Gray Joker<<


    Show me how to lie - you're getting better all the time,
    and turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach.

    ...


    Upon seeing the strange human totem pole formed from the combined forces of Kuma and Anna - Meika couldn't help but scoff. Alas, it was a scoff that broke down into a momentary bit of laughter due to Kuma's absolute glee, countered by his cousin who just looked oh so amused by the outturn of events. "I didn't know you were such a fan of fighting, Kuma." She stated calmly as she slowly rose to her feet. Perhaps he was the one lending her this energy, but she simply could not help but join him. Because of this, she soon found herself standing on the sidelines, pumping her fist as she instead cheered on the blue haired boy who was facing off against her cousin.


    "C'mon blue hair! You've got this! Kick him in the gut!" She cheered him on, mercilessly going against Harley for a multitude of reasons. Did she really believe this stranger could kick his butt? Well, sure. It seemed as though Harley had went into a fair fight, and as long as he was on that mat he would do nothing of pure trickery or cruelty. This was this kids best chance at pummeling the red-haired male.

    [align=center]>> Ōkami Harley - Jack of Diamonds


    Bah bah black sheep have you any soul?
    No sir - by the way - what the hell are morals?

    ...


    [align=center]When Harley's legs settled powerfully on top of Bohdi's, pinning him without mercy, a malicious smile inched across his face just to show off those strangely pointed canines. Oh, the poor lost soul. It seemed he had gotten so carried away in defeating Bo - becoming power hungry in the process - that he had forgotten to play "fair". Now, he truly was going easy on him for Harley's standards. For if anyone had been in a fight with Harley, they could tell you. He drew blood, he broke bones. Fortunately, he would not do so on a mat. No, he would not so brutally dismiss the arts there. No matter who he was, he was not the type to take a blade to the beliefs of those who practiced Martial Arts. Now would he kick them around a little bit? Definitely!


    When Harley had fully pinned his opponent, the boy straightened up a little. His killer gaze suddenly relaxing to something a little more human. Though the image of a wolf standing mightily behind him would be hard for anyone who had seen the fight to shake from their eyes. Little did they know, it was equally as hard for him to watch the mighty ram he had pinned be diminished back to a little helpless lamb. One that had walked straight into its own slaughter. How unhealthy of him.


    The fight had left his heart pounding, and Harley had nearly been quivering in anticipation. It was clear for anyone to see that he enjoyed fighting wholeheartedly. It was a whole world better than just toying with his prey! Alas, this was the end of it. And as that thought crossed his mind, Harley foolishly allowed his attention to sway, his guard dropping just as he had found himself capable of doing around Bo. Of course, his gaze first snapped to the sidelines, just in time to see little Avi standing there excitedly. But it was not her he looked at first, rather, it was the towering totem pole of mixed glee and gloom, that was calling out his name. Well, he appreciated the fan service - but just who the actual hell was that?


    It was in that very moment, that Harley suddenly found the image of those people on the sidelines blurring, as in a turn of events he found himself being rolled over with sudden force. Somewhere buried deep within those actions, he swore he felt the horns of a ram bore into his stomach rather than the knee belonging to Bo just as he himself smacked into the mat, causing a look of absolute surprise to wipe the smug grin straight off Harley's features as his opponent suddenly came back to life.

    ...


    It took the quick-witted Harley a long moment to even fathom what had happened. Why he was one the ground. And better yet, how his legs and wrists had all come to be pinned by the boy who was hovering just inches away from his face. Hadn't this position been the other way around just moments before? How had this sheep, this lamb conjured the audacity to defy him? It was then he realized that the whole look of loss, that moment of innocent loss, had all been feigned by Bo. And to think, Harley had refrained from using his usual dirty tricks!


    "Well played." Harley muttered under his breath as he broke out a satisfactory smile. In this sense, he was entirely fine with losing. At least his opponent hadn't made a fool of him, otherwise he might actually have to go back on his word and paint this mat red. However, he was content with losing as long as both parties had gone all out in one fair, slightly manipulative game. So, when Harley was offered a hand up, he took it with a smile as he rose to his feet, closing his eyes and casting that same friendly grin he had earlier. "I thought I had you beat too. But you're pretty sly for a fair fighter aren't you?" He cooed. "I almost got carried away, I'm not going to lie, I actually thought about breaking your arm for a second there." Harley said, those menacing words laced with a small fit of laughter, something that was cut off only by Bo's body toppling down to the mat.


    Letting out the last bit in a chuckle, Harley approached his fallen opponent only to crouch down next to him. Watching Bo intently for a moment as if trying to see whether or not the boy was responsive. "Hm... that fight really took a toll on you, huh, Bo?" He stated as he patted the boys chest. He had definitely won the battle, but it seemed as if Harley truly had given him a run for his money. However, if an infirmary was what he needed, he really wasn't quite sure he could carry his weight safely with the countless bruises he was bound to be hiding beneath his shirt. "Hey - Little Avi! Can I borrow half of your human totem pole for a second? I want to take Bo to the infirmary to get his head checked before the party tonight~" He called out rather casually, raising his hand to wave either Fern or Anna over. After all, whether Bo stood again or not, it was a good idea to get a nurse to check him out after a tackle like that. Heck, even Harley probably needed one for his chest - not that he would admit to that.

    [align=center]>> Nova "Ari" Airiki - The 10 of Spades <<


    Just like fire, burning up the way, if I can light the world up for just one day
    Watch this madness, colorful charade, no one can be just like me anyway

    ...


    [align=center]It was simply unavoidable that today - his very first day at Jirou Academy - was a boy day. Well, this was bound to cause some confusion by tomorrow, but Nova supposed that was coming eventually. He only hoped that this school was... well, a little more accepting of his constantly fluctuating gender. It was something he'd struggled with in the past, which was the only reason the thought even occurred to him now as he made his way down around the side of the building. On this particular day, he had chosen to wear a simple, white, long sleeved shirt paired with a red vest and plain blue jeans tucked hastily into his black sneakers. A white and black baseball cap settled on top of his head, promising a resting mess of hat hair to be revealed when it was removed.


    Currently, he was looking down at a card her held in his hand. One he had coincidentally found when he had been walking down the sidewalk and the wind had blown in smack into his face. Usually, he would have trashed something like this, but when he had been on the verge of tossing it he had recalled hearing some silly rumor about a card game at school. So, he had held onto it without really knowing what the thing meant or what was going on. All the while, his other hand was tucked lazily into his vest pocket.


    "KICK HIM IN THE GUT! ROUNDHOUSE KICK!" Suddenly these words erupted from the building next to him, causing Nova to jump as he swiveled around to face the building. Unfortunately, moving with natural grace wasn't really something he did. So the outcome of this involved him tripping over his own foot and falling back onto his rear with nothing more than a soft "Oof!" To escape him as his hat fell right off his head. "Huh!? I wonder what all that's about?" The boy muttered slowly under his breath as he released an exasperated sigh, remaining where he had fallen as he reached back for his hat to take it in his hands and dust it off. Though at the angle he sat, something about his features, his stature, just seemed more feminely innocent.

    ...


    [align=center]Although his attention rested near unwaveringly upon Bohdi, it was only grasped for a moment as his name was shouted from the sidelines. "Oh? Thanks, Audrey! That one was for you." He responded in a tone that was light and devilish, laced heavily with sharp sarcasm before his pale eyes snapped towards the approaching bow. Now the first thing he noted was that this guy was exceptionally tall. In fact, he had a few inches on Harley easily as he himself stood to be of a more average height and weight. One other thing he had to notice was that upon seeing this guy, he felt the immediate urge to lunge for him. That light in his eyes indicating that he had obviously found someone he wished to fight, whether it be fairly or not. Fortunately, he had the mind to know that now was not the time. Besides, he could at very least wait for his own pain to numb before planning out his next duel.


    "Would you look at that, Bohdi? It's a walking infirmary!" He exclaimed with a smile as Fern happened to dig out everything that his friend had asked for straight from his bag. "Ah, I still think you should go see a nurse though. It's your call, but I could have given you a concussion with a tackle like that." He carried on as he remained seated faultlessly next to Bohdi. With the expression on his face it was difficult to peg Harley as worried. However, it was a lot easier to see that at least he had some decency and even cared about Bo's well-being.


    As he watched his friend, he could not deny that his chest was absolutely throbbing with each breath he took. The strength Bo possessed solely in his legs was something to be admired for those who were a fan of fighting. However, it was a dangerous feature to have, which was exactly why Harley found it to be so amazing. The bruises marked on his body were proof of his new friends strength, however, he would be pretty damn sore until they all healed up. Only, he wouldn't dare allow that to show in even the slightest bit now.


    "So you're Avi's cousin, huh?" It was almost surreal to hear someone call Meika "Avi" as opposed to her darker surname. Of course, the sour name was one he had given her, but he called her by the same name as her mother. "Avi". To hear an outsider do so was almost promising in a sense. "Yeah, the names Ōkami Harley." He responded as he cocked his head to the side, causing a shift in his mess of crimson hair. "Kuma?" He repeated, rather intrigued by the name. Was it because his large stature reminded his little cousin of a bear? Now that wouldn't surprise him. However, Harley himself would stick to the name "Fern" at least, mostly. "Say - do you always carry all this stuff around with you, Fern?" He inquired in reference to the advil and bandages.

    "Do you fight too?"


    The barely audible question played through her ears delicately, making her feel as though if she even uttered a word the question would be gone. But it did not fail to grasp her mind, allowing her to indulge herself in the answer. All the while, her gaze remained locked ahead of her in a state of focus as she watched the three boys. "It's not that I do fight. It's that I can." Meika responded honestly. Having gone through what she had in the past, being tough was a title forced upon her. But that did not mean she fought. In the event that she was attacked, she could truly take a beating and still stand. In addition, having a background in gymnastics, she was incredibly light on her feet. But when it came to actually attacking someone, her talents ceased. She could throw a punch impressive for someone of her size, but would easily be pummeled in a fight anyhow unless she stuck to dodging. Namely, because that just wasn't her thing. "I've never seen the point in harming another human being - even someone that's hurt you, so I don't usually take to fighting unless I have no other choice."


    "You've been shot?" Meika inquired, finally pulling her gaze away from what was going on over on the mat to truly look at Anna. "Sorry to ask... but... well is that how you got that scar?" She inquired as she cocked her head to the side. Naturally it didn't look like something caused by a gun, but who was she to know? Really this was just her way of asking how Anna had gotten that scar exactly.

    ...


    [align=center]"Mm, that sounds very handy." Harley commented as he looked up towards Fern at that same angle that caused the light to shine in his ghostly pale eyes. So this guy actually was the fighting type, huh? He certainly looked like it, which was exactly why he had struck Harley's attention to begin with. He simply had a certain flare that intrigued him. Of course, it wasn't the same as Bo's, which had shown most the instant before the blue haired boy had one the fight. However, it was that of an obstacle. And boy did Harley ever love his challenges.


    What he had not been anticipating was that Fern could so easily read the malicious intent that had been painted in bold coloring across his face. It seemed as though this boy was used to looking over his shoulder. He had a best that had bruised and battered him to the point of recognizing what was lurking in the bushes before it pounced. And with a lifestyle of fighting for his life, Harley couldn't even begin to imagine what he would bring to a fight. But whatever it was, it would be very, very, promising.


    "Oh don't worry about it. Besides, it's not like I want to beat you up or anything." Harley responded dismissively. Though, his words remained true. He did wish for a fight, but a fair one for the most part. Of course, if he decided to stoop to his usual dirty tricks it would be once the fight had already started, and no sooner. "Besides, I don't think you have to be watching you back anytime soon. Bo already gave me a pretty good beating." He responded with a light-hearted bit of laughter, one that caused his chest to throb in pain, but he refused to flinch. "And if I want to fight you anyways, I won't be sneaking up on you. We'll be doing this head on." He added a little more darkly, as his own eyes glazed over for a moment. Of course, from the sidelines he could see Meika planting her face into her left hand, clearly unamused that he already seemed to be picking another fight on his first day. "Anyways, thanks for helping Bo out." He added as he averted his gaze back down to his buddy on the mat just as Bo reached to pull up his shirt. Only this time, as his hand skimmed over one of the bruises, Harley was forced to bite down on his tongue.


    "Hey, hey, hey, stop poking at it." Harley stated as he forcefully lowered his shirt back down, although it was pretty late to conceal his abdomen which was truly starting to appear a little black and blue. While his chest was reddened and also darkened from that mighty buck Bo had performed. It was true, he took pain immensely well. It was something that he took pride in, and had tried to teach Meika as well. But just because he was alright didn't mean the pain did not exist. It just meant his endurance was actually quite incredible.

    ...


    Meika was clearly surprised by this revelation, as her rather neutral expression melted into something a little more conflicting as her eyes widened slightly. However, nothing else about her expression seemed to change. "No way... Kuma did that?" Now here gaze was locked dead on the cut, only to take a moment to fully study Anna's features before her attention returned to the mat. Only this time, she seemed to be watching no one other than Fern. "At first I didn't peg him as the violent type." She admitted, but other than that she did not appear to be uncomfortable after having this information given to her. Then again, it wasn't surprising that she would take such a thing so well for those who really got to know her. Besides, even if you didn't know her that well, her cousin was Harley. Because of that, she was bound to have been put through a childhood of violence just lingering around him. Only, none of it had ever been directed towards her. She had met with violence in her own ways, she didn't need him for the experience.


    Moving to step in front of Anna, Meika wore a masked expression as she glanced down only to grip the fabric at the end of her shirt, raising it up until her smooth abdomen was revealed. However, the sight that would immediately draw one's eye was without fault - the long, jagged cut that stretched from her ribs down past her belly button in a rather unappealing fashion. She certainly didn't seem to have anything to hide, as she rather boldly showed this only to follow up with an explanation. "When I little I was abducted from my home in Japan. I endured that sort of abuse for two years - but the day I escaped I had to crawl through a broken window and ended up slicing my stomach open in the process." While she was being inrecedibly and carelessly open, which was naturally how she was, there was an actual reason behind her abrupt revealing. "I don't mind violence. I know there are violent people. I just choose not to be one of them. That doesn't make me a good person or a bad person though."


    That was how she regarded Harley. He was a maniac, destructive, and overly violent. Because of that, it was usually hard to see that his heart was in the right place. But she knew that even if he was overly chaotic, he was indeed a "good" person... mostly. And that was how she would choose to regard Fern. His violent attitude didn't denote he was a terrible person. It was just a trait. She would let his future actions and the basis of them decide where he lay on the spectrum. But either way,s he wasn't about to turn her back just because someone liked to fight. If that were the case, her and her cousin would have stopped talking ages ago. "So you used to live up in the mountains too?" Meika inquired suddenly as she dropped her shirt back down carelessly, entirely dismissing her actions.

    Bah bah black sheep have you any soul?

    ...


    [align=center]That damn near permanent grin on Harley's features settled to one of actual amusement as he communicated with the two boys. Usually, his violent attitude was something that turned people away. Now he appeared to actually be drawing people towards him from it. Now, it wasn't rare for Harley to be flocked by people, but usually, they certainly weren't smiling and joking around. This was a strange turn of events. "Oh come now... my legs are fine. My breathing might be messed up for awhile but it was all in good fun." He joked, mainly poking fun at Bohdi who had left the injuries scattered across his body. It wasn't anything to bat an eye at though. He could go back to fighting this very instant if he really wanted to. But seeing as he was in a "prestigious" school, he decided to space out the degree of trouble and injuries he caused for once.


    Besides, Bohdi brought up one very valid point. "Oh yeah, I'm starving!" Harley exclaimed as he looked back up at Fern, and then towards Bohdi again. "Let's go get something to eat, hopefully, the food in this dump is edible." He added as he began removing the bandages from around his knuckles only to make his way across the mat to toss them. Only then did he make it a point to retrieve his black blazer and shoes, however, on his way to get them he happened to slip by Fern once more. "Don't worry about it big guy. I'm coming for you next." He announced as a sly smirk swept across his face, followed by the narrowing of his eyes. That was something he would look forward to in the near future. But whether he was really bent on fighting fair or not could only be determined in time. Truthfully, he had no qualms about bending the rules.


    "Now, let's go~" Harley hummed lazily, folding his arms behind his head as he eased his way towards the door. Whoever chose to follow, he was definitely going to get some grub regardless.

    >> Aviana Meika - The Gray Joker<<


    Show me how to lie - you're getting better all the time,
    and turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach.

    ...


    So the violent outbursts were actually bothersome to Fern? Now that was a place she could easily draw the line between him and Harley. Also, nothing had necessarily ever provoked her cousin's behavior. That was just how he had been born, for even as a toddler he had shown subtle signs of roughness. And when playing with Meika as children, things usually ended up getting unnecessarily dangerous. To her recollection, the two had somehow managed to clamber onto a dangerously narrowed rooftop once due to one of Harley "brilliant" ideas. Neither had been hurt, but at that age, a tumble from that height could have certainly killed them. Her cousin lived for the thrill. Fern seemed to have been conditioned to be the way he was.


    "It matters not what the person has done, but their worth. As long as they stay true, only then change will happen." She did not comment after these words were spoken. However, they did strike a chord with her. In fact, it prompted a thought. Maybe what Kuma really needed was support, so to not end up becoming the person whom he hated.


    "The beach?" Temporarily dismissing her thoughts, Mike leaned forwards as she studied the picture with wide and curious eyes to reflect the image before her like twin, dark blue, mirrors. "Oh wow! I'm not a big fan of water or anything but that must have been really nice." She added as that same bit of awe from before twinkled within her eyes. "That kid though..." She muttered, suddenly pointing to the male with the snow white hair in the picture. "Isn't that him over there?" She added curiously as she jutted her thumb back over her shoulder, having spotted the strange could sleeping sometime during the match as he went about in his dramatic ways, very audibly dreaming about pie.

    [align=center]>> Ōkami Harley - Jack of Diamonds


    Bah bah black sheep have you any soul?
    No sir - by the way - what the hell are morals?

    ...


    [align=center]As they exited the gymnasium, Harleys gaze fleetingly lingered upon his cousin who was chatting away with another student. Now that wasn't exactly a rare sight. It was odd though. Usually, Avi was very much the type to keep to herself, as she couldn't be bothered with the trouble "friends" brought. Not that she stayed in one place long enough to make any friends. But she wasn't shy. Actually, overtime he had only noticed her becoming more outspoken and blunt than anything. At least, unlike Harley, she wasn't the type to hide things.


    "I forgot about the dorms." Harley admitted instantly. Just as he spoke, he crammed his hands into his pockets in his usual lazy stance as he gazed up towards the sky while he walked. "What's that? We get to choose are dorm mates this year?" He added as he turned his head to the side. It may have seemed odd that Harley hadn't entirely caught a question that was right next to him, but little did these two know that he was actually completely deaf in his right ear. Meaning that everything Bohdi was currently saying was rather muffled to him unless he actually faced him. Fortunately, his left ear was just fine. "Well why don't we just room together Bo? That would make things a lot easier." It seemed as if Harley had already made his selection without fault or hesitation. "No offense Fern. I don't think you and I would be the best of roommates." He added with a slight devilish grin as he turned to glance at the boy his cousin had named "Kuma". If the two of them roomed together, there would probably be nothing but havoc wreaked. Besides, Harley wanted to room with someone a little more... well, sheep-like. Someone he could drop his guard around. And that someone just had to be Bohdi.


    "A cafe... well that sounds like it'll have better options than whatever the cafeteria serves." Harley agreed calmly. "You up for that, Fern?" He inquired. This was probably the longest time he had managed to address someone properly by their first name for without altering it to something a little more "unique". "I'm kind of craving something sweet after all that. So I'm all for it." He added approvingly only to settle into a confident stride with the others. However, no matter what pace he moved at it always seemed to look like he were just taking a stroll through the park, with not a worry nor care to cloud the wolf's mind.


    I really like the idea of Bohdi and Bayu, but I don't even know how Harley would react and I created him xD
    He'd definitely be caught off guard by the sudden transformation from Bohdi to Bayu if he happened to witness it.
    I think his reaction would go a little something like this though:
    "What the heck was that?"
    "Who the heck is that?"
    "What the heck is going on?"
    I can also imagine his guard around Bohdi would raise a little due to Bayu's appearance, but he'd probably settle back again after a little while of Bohdi being his usual sheepish self.


    I can see it
    Especially in that last picture
    Oh my god


    I was thinking of eventually lifting the title of Aromantic from Harley since it could potentially make things easier in the future. Although for now I'm still sticking to his extremely platonic relationships.


    Also was everyone deciding their dorm-mates in the roleplay?

    >> Nova "Ari" Airiki - The 10 of Spades <<


    Just like fire, burning up the way, if I can light the world up for just one day
    Watch this madness, colorful charade, no one can be just like me anyway

    ...


    [align=center]It took Nova a few moments to wipe away the scuffs of dirt that had tainted his white hat when it had hit the ground. All the while, he continued to sit on the ground, crossed-legged and looking a little more than out of place seated smack down in the center of the path. "I didn't expect that." He muttered softly under his breath with a gentle sigh as he propped his cap back onto his head. Taking a moment to adjust the rim before rising to his feet to dust off his body. "I wonder what all that racket was about anyways." He added calmly to himself as he stepped forward. Rather than moving around the gymnasium to the front door, the boy instead chose to open the window in front of him. Standing cautiously on his tiptoes just to peek through. However, all he really saw was a bunch of people leaving the gym.


    "Huh!? I missed it? So terribly slow to react, the poor guy had already missed the action. Whatever the action had been. "Aw man~" He huffed as he leaned his body into the window sill, lazily relaxing his upper body on the window while the lower half of him dangled from the outside. After all, he was definitely below average height for a boy, and even just below average for a girl. It seemed as though there would never come a time in his life where his feet would touch the pavement from this angle. Usually, he had to leap up to higher places just to get a good view of things as he was now.

    See? This is exactly why I might have to delete his Aro half xD
    Maybe I'll make him Asexual - Demiromantic just to make things all the more interesting.
    That works.


    It'll have to xD
    I don't know if they'll end up being separated by sex registered at birth but I kind of want Nova to room with a guy just for the reaction he'll get when he has a day he identifies more as female.


    Those pictures are so cute
    Your Bohdi is breaking my characters sexuality here
    Harley's supposed to be unloveable.

    That's fine! Have a good night Alistaire~


    That's going to be really funny to watch Harley react and adapt to. But I can see him at one point just accepting how loveable Bohdi is and taking it without batting an eye.
    Their friendship is going to confuse everyone so much. Especially with Harley's whole "I may or may not want to kill everyone in the school" vibe.


    Oh my god I can't wait to play out Harley's reaction to that when he wakes up xD
    This will be fun.


    That's true, because with some of the characters the genders are just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ besides, it would probably make more sense for everyone to just be with the person or in the room they're most comfortable with.

    Not too much has changed since you left, akuma-sama.
    On the sign-ups five new characters were accepted.
    Anna Walquist - Jack of Clubs
    Mogui Baozang - Jack of Hearts
    Tianshi Baozang - The Gray Joker
    Nova Ariki - Ten of Spades
    Setsu Hagakure - Nine of Spades


    Here are the responses to your last post:




    [align=center]To summarize what happened in the roleplay, a few people gathered in the gymnasium to watch Harley and Bohdi fight a respectable Martial Arts Match. By the end of it, Bohdi actually came out victorious, but both ended up pretty battered and bruised when Harley got carried away and took to a more street-style-like form of fighting. Now him, Bohdi, and Fern are leaving to head to a nearby cafe to eat because they claim they're half starved. A few people lingered in the gymnasium such as Anna and Meika who are conversing with one another. Setsu is sleeping in there, dreaming away about pie quite verbally, and Nova is hanging half in and half out the window after trying to see what all the commotion was about since everyone was cheering on the fight. Audrey is still going strong with her party, which most people seem to plan on attending. She's currently with Alexander collecting things for the pool. Mahiro and Natsuko are carrying on in their own conversation, but I'm not quite sure where on school grounds they are. In terms of what's going on that pretty much sums up what I know.


    Hopefully this works? Sorry to anyone if I missed anything - since I probably did.

    Double posting too xD


    I think Harley would actually take that pretty well if he realized Bo was nervous. If that was the case he would probably let it slip by since he wouldn't see it as anything else. So you can confirm that cuteness since I can see him taking it~
    Despite being a little psychotic/murdery Harley is a pretty great guy. At least to those he see's as small.


    Bohdi would loosen up while Harley moves to standing on the sidelines because boy couldn't dance to save his life.


    I kind of want to make Harley just freak out a little from the surprise and topple out of bed before kind of accepting the whole sleep-walking thing and nightmares and just crawling back into bed (while grumbling of course). We'll see how good he is at being an angry wolf when he's tired out of his mind.


    Oh wow, I love Valentine, xD and so will Nova
    Great character, Hero, he's so precious~


    Also, if Hero's up for it I really like the idea you came up with for Setsu, Nova, and Valentine. I can completely see Nova and Setsu being friends since one's energetic and the others lazy. It'll be a fun mix.


    Fern better instigate this relationship because Bo seems so shy and Harley's definitely to clueless to do it xD

    It was almost difficult to imagine that Anna had spent any time whatsoever with this kid during her life span. Of course, people did tend to have their odd relations here and there. That one nut allowed into the rest of the brownie. And that just seemed to be the boy known as Setsu. Had she had a choice, she probably would have chosen to call him death instead, for the boy barely looked alive. In fact, he looked like the kind of person who could easily slip into a full course of hibernation at any given moment. It was almost concerning. Or would have been, if it weren't for the fact that this was Meika watching him.


    As she watched the interaction between the two, Meika folded her arms and tilted her head in a subtle act of interest. Though the only thought to cross her mind as she watched on happened to be what a strange kid. This coming from the girl who had spent countless hours with someone who found joy in slipping extremely hot spices into people's food while they ate, and simply pranking away like a rebellious child. "Is he always this... sleepy?" Meika inquired, remaining calm even as Anna cranked back her hand, and punched Setsu rather roughly to awaken him from his deep slumber.

    [align=center]Nova had continued leaning into the window with his arms folded in order to bury his chin within the confinements of his warm cotton sleeves. Though while his expression remained pouty... yet relatively calm - he seemed to hold the air of a lost boy to him. And that's exactly what he was. He didn't know what was going on, or why he was holding on to a card or where everyone was going. All he really knew was that this whole thing was going right over his head.


    "Chaíret-" As the unfamiliar word played in a soft tune through his ears, Nova found himself almost densely replying with - "Who's that?" Rather than recognizing the tongue. Fortunately, as he turned to curiously peer over his shoulder at whoever had spoken, he found himself meeting eyes with someone who he had not yet seen before. Someone that was talking... talking to him!? Caught off guard by the sudden conversation, Nova released a soft "Oh!" of surprise as he dropped from the window sill. However, due to his pure lack of natural grace, the moment his feet struck the ground he was forced to wave his arms rather wildly for an instant as he almost lost his balance, only to then emit a short sigh of relief.


    Sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, Nova quickly cast the newcomer a friendly grin as he spoke. "Ah... yeah, you see I'm not quite sure what's going on." He admitted, a certain air of innocence seeming to waft off him due to the combination of his actions before he finally dropped his arms to his side. "But I was passing by this window when I heard a-" In the midst of trying hastily to explain what had happened, Nova found himself locking eyes with the stranger. Studying the one who had chosen to speak out as if something about him had suddenly struck his attention. Of course, a range of things could have shot out of his mouth at this moment. But what Nova said above all else was - "Oh hey, I've never seen someone with eyes like yours." It was just like him to blatantly point out someone's features. Usually, those in which he himself liked. After all, he saw nothing wrong with it - aside from the fact that it showed he was perhaps easily distractable. "Heh... sorry, I'm getting off track here." He murmured, as he extended his hand to the student he had yet to make full introductions with. "I guess I should start with this. My name is Nova Ariki.... and, well, I could really use some help." He admitted as he reverted back to the very subject that had prompted all of this. That being that he was fairly lost on what was going on, after having arrived later than most students.

    Sorry for the late reply! I had a kind of busy day.


    Alistaire ; I just can't wait for Harley to react to all of this. Especially since he already has nothing in mind when it comes to relationships. He's pretty much a blank slate, so Fern is really going to have his work cut out for him. And Harley will probably struggle pretty massively at some points ^^


    Also, him running away from Anna sounds like it would work pretty well, especially since Nova and Valentine are standing right night to an open window. Really he could just barrel straight into them.


    And Anna and Meika could definitely decide on dorms. It would be nice if they roomed together since Meika will probably be pretty attached to her and Fern from what I can see.

    ...


    Meikahad entirely expected Anna's crueler behavior towards Setsu. However, what caught her off guard was the pure speed that kid moved at to kid away. Maybe she was just caught off guard because he was actually moving, which consequently caused him to look more lively than he was. This provoked Meika to whistle in a sharp yet clearly impressed tune as she watched, her eyes widening slightly in a mock look of surprise. "Oh wow, look at that boy move~" She added in feigned awe, though she could not deny that she was somewhat surprised. After all, this was the closest she had ever gotten to actually watching the dead rise.


    "Maybe you should aim for two next time." Meika added as she planted her hands on her hips, swaying her weight to the side slightly as she watched Setsu rapidly exit the gymnasium.
    “What’s your card?”
    Suddenly this question broke through her wall of focus, causing Meika to instantly shift her attention entirely back on to Anna. It seemed rather... abrupt, that she would ask such a thing now. But of course, Meika had nothing to hide. Everyone was bound to discover her title sooner or later. Her petty position at the bottom of this cruel hierarchy. "I'm a gray joker." She stated as she reached into her skirt pocket to pluck out the card, holding it between her two fingers as she showed it to Anna. "I'm at the bottom of the pile... but I'm used to fighting my uphill battles." Now that she had displayed it, would Anna's demeanor towards her shift? It wouldn't be ideal to meet with her first outburst of bullying now, but she supposed what happened, happened. "What's yours?" She inquired after a moment, utterly lost as to what Anna's card actually was. However, she was almost certain she hadn't met with another Gray Joker.

    [align=center]>> Ōkami Harley - Jack of Diamonds


    Bah bah black sheep have you any soul?
    No sir - by the way - what the hell are morals?

    ...


    [align=center]With the question of who his roommate would be having been settled on their brief walk, Harley had simply fallen silent alongside the others as he continued on with his casual stride. Fern was entirely right. The two of them rooming together wouldn't only be a disaster, but a living hell on both ends. Besides, he could imagine that it wouldn't take long for whoever was in charge of the dorms to separate them. But it might have been... amusing, to pull such a dastardly stunt. Though in the end, Harley would certainly rest easier with someone he didn't need to watch his back around, which was why Bohdi had really been the only possibility.


    "Yeah Fern, there's no need to be so glum - at least you can get a cup of coffee just as bitter as you." It was inevitable that Harley chose to not only poke fun at the boy, but there was a chance he would spend much of his year simply taking any chance he got to belittle Fern. In the end, it was difficult to tell what would become of this. Was this only the start of a beautiful rivalry? Or did they perhaps fall under the umbrella of "Frenemies".


    “How about coffee with a side of you.” As these words escaped Ferns mouth, Harley was forced to very sharply and obviously swivel his head to the left as he tried to conceal a deep chuckle. Snorting as he mustered the noise less than discretely with his fist. It looked like Bohdi would really have his year cut out for him with these two hanging around.
