In his time in Long Beach Eric had heard a variety of rumors and tidbits of information. Most he just stored in the back of his brain, storing them away in a mental warehouse for a time that he could call them up when they were needed. However the other day he heard something he hadn't expected to hear, an old friend had died here in California. He had known Scith for a while back before he left for the west coast. They hadn't been the best of friends, but they had been friends in Eric's eyes. When he heard this he started digging for more information, unfortunately most sources couldn't tell him what happened or anything more then Hiroko was dead. But he did managed to learn one other fact. Hiroko had a brother and he was here in California. The new public high school 260 to be exact. So the wandering male found the other man's cell number and left him a message to meet in front of the school for a talk.
He was sitting on the back of one of the benches with his feet resting on the part that most people normally sat on. A cigarette gently smoked between his fingers as he looked up toward the sky. Was a nice day today, not a cloud in the sky. It was about noon now and the College freshman was dressed as he normally did, in khakis and a long sleeve button down. He looked down at the boots that were on his feet and smirked slightly in memory. He had gotten these boots from Scith after the giant had decided he wanted to fight almost a dozen students by himself. Taking a drag from his cig, the wandering male looked around for this supposed brother of his old friend.

Kevin walks out of the school doors. He notices Eric sitting on the bench. He sees Erics nasty habbit of smoking cigarette. As he walks by he hears the sound of Eric text messaging on his phone. Each little button he pressed sounded like a sledge hammer banging on his head. It drives him almost to the break of insanity. He grabs the phone and smashes it in his face. The impact of the phone causes him to drop his ciggarette. Kevin picks up the ciggarette and proceeds to extinguse his ciggarette on his forehead.

There are a number of things you don’t expect to happen. Having someone come up to you, take your phone from your hand, and try to smash you in the face with it was one of those things. That’s where reflexes come into play. Kevin got the phone away from Eric, but as the hand came around to smash the phone into him the college freshman caught the wrist with his own hand. Something about the large number of fights Eric had been in prevented his body from just letting them hit him in the face like that. Twisting the arm, Eric would put the boy in a simple arm lock that would have the kid facing away from him. Taking his phone away from the boy, he would finish typing out his message to Katsuri with a small addition to it.
[By the way, nice to see that the crazies have already gotten to your school.] Clicking send, Eric could now turn his attention to Kevin. “Seriously now, where in that head of yours did it seem like a good idea to try and beat my face in with my own cell phone. I mean come on. I give you points for originality, cause I have never had that happen before. But as for execution… you need to play at your own level there kid. Your small fish, I’m big fish, got it?” As he spoke thin tails of smoke trailed up from the end of his cigarette.

Kevin as he is on the ground held down by Erics grasp. He turns around and trys to look at Eric to show the grim smug on his face. To awnser you what has gotten into me is that I hate text messaging. It drives me to the brink of insanity. Then Kevin suddenly back kicks Eric in the knee cap. Hoping to destory or atleast injury the cartilage inside his joint.

Now the kid that Eric had in n arm bar had two points in his favor for originality. The college freshman never heard of a person going crazy over hearing the sound of someone texting. Though the boy's response to being put in the arm bar was somewhat less then smart. Eric had never gotten up from the bench that he had been sitting on the back of. He scooted his leg to one side as Kevin's foot slammed into the back of the bench, causing it to rock. He didn't fall over backwards since he had a grip on Kevin and could use him as a sort of anchor, but as the bench came forward he placed a foot on the kid's butt and shoved him forward. After that he used his forward momentum to step off the bench and onto the ground in front of them.
Flicking away his near spent cigarette. The wandering male lifted up his phone and triggered the new text message screen. He started typing in random letters while watching Kevin to see what the kid's reaction would be. He wanted to see if he was really telling the truth about the phone thing and not just some new kid trying to act tough.

Kevin is still lying on the ground since his attemp to injur Eric failed. He is in pain and is starting to sweat. Then out of the blue he hears the sound of buttons being click and instantly knows it is the sound of a cell phone. The way the man is typing it sounds as if he is typing out of text message or is just a bunch of random buttons being pressed. Kevin is starting to have a migrain. The sound is hurting him as if some one had a pan over his head hitting it with a hammer. It is a near deafening sound as he starts to have flash backs. The images are burning his eyes as he does not wish to remember then. Kevin yells out stop it! as he picks up a rock and hurls it behind him hoping to knock out the cell phone from Eric.

A stone flew out and knocked the phone from Eric's hand. The guy had looked like was actually in pain from all of that. It really was something that you didn't see every day. Eric stood there calmly as Kevin finished with his little episode. When the boy finally calmed down the wandering male spoke. "I honestly don't know how you function in the modern day world if you go psycho every time that you hear that. Personally I recommend investing in an I-pod, a lot of songs, and a real good set of earphones cause that's the only way you'll stop yourself from hearing it."
Picking up his phone, Eric closed it and slipped it into his pocket. "Since you obviously have issues I'll let you off this time. But try that again and issues or no I will kick your ass from here to the nearest phone store. Then we can enjoy that sound all day long." He went back to the bench and sat down, watching the little punk to make sure he didn't try anything while he waited for Katsuri.

Kevin calmy said I always carry my ipod. It just so happens it died right befor school let out. I function just normal. Just hearing and seeing someone typing out a message while smoking a ciggerate brings back a bad memory in my past. The combination can drive me to the break of insanity.

The eight foot tall behemoth strode out from that school, feet dropping down, as light as a feather compared to the immense size of the male which they belonged too. The person in question, however, that he was out here in the first place to see was currently in some sort of argument. A simple black flip up, Nokia to be exact, if we really wanted to be technical a 6085, was not a bad little phone, but when it came down to that sort of shit, Katsuri just did not care. Said flip up was pulled free from his pocket, and, of course, flipped up. Simple flip of button clicks and he raised a brow, reading the message whilst looking at the kid who seemingly was involved in attempting to assault Eric, and then the ceasing of which and something about buttons being clicked around. The large male just shook his head and grinned, those fingers flipped up a note app on his phone and began to approach, click, click, clicking away. The smug grin present for quite obvious reasons, this kid annoyed by it? Good.
"Pet peeves are meant to be controlled, and unless you have tourettes, there is no excuse... hell. Even then you dont belong in a place like this." He flipped his phone shut and shifted his head slightly to each side, just enough to crack it, before the thing was placed back into his pockets. "Mm. So this is the person eh?.. Can not say he's that big of a deal, far worse here. You're looking at one to be honest." He winked and grinned, Number 2 Pencil withdrawn and twirled about like a drumstick in between his fingers before he locked the thing in close on his right ear, keeping track of it was easier. The question was, was he alright, or was he a little fucked in the head at the moment. Given his predicament with personality it was hard to tell what was wrong at any given moment, same smug traits though belonged to all.
"I assume you would be the one that called me, knew my brother did you?" Of course, assumptions were only made by the male so long as he had a percentile that was in the upper 80-100% sure range, and he doubted the crazy one that was the one that text messaged his phone, even more so if you over heard it, made it certain. Unless the boy was hidden, the other male had to be him.

The hair's on the back of Eric's neck tingled as his ears heard the faint sound of another person approaching where he was sitting. His eyes shifted enough that he could fully view the Behemoth that now drew nearer where the two of them were. Watching as Katsuri started pressing buttons on his own phone while coming closer. Eyes flickering back to the other kid, Eric had too wonder if the boy would be stupid enough to assault the giant. Then again, whatever psychosis that the boy was suffering from seemed to be able to manifest itself in physical pain when triggered so it was pretty bad. At first Katsuri was berating to the boy that was before Eric, then commented to Eric that as far as crazy people go, this one was was minor to others. Too this Eric just shrugged and spoke in a calm tone.
"I didn't say to the degree that I was experiencing trouble, just that I could see that you had your problem children here as well." At this point Eric stood and turned fully toward the large man that had arrived. "And yes, I was the one that left that message. I just recently heard that Scith had died and couldn't get a clear answer on how and when it happened. Plus the fact I had been unaware that he had a brother. Though I can see the resemblance." Not many people had been as large as Scith had been, but this guy was even larger if he remembered things right. But something seemed slightly off about this guy, Eric couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"But I should probably introduce myself properly, my name is Eric Sidel." Eric's eyes flicked between the leviathan and the minnow that were both present. He knew Katsuri's name because he had found out that part when he asked around. He had no clue of the other kid's name though, so he would have to wait to see if he introduced himself now.

Kevin Heard another person talk and another cell phone being typed. It wasnt the same sound as Erics. This phone had a odd clicking sound when you pressed the buttons. It was different from the one he heard that one faithful night. This man look as if he was goliath from the bible. Kevin knew that the big guy must have over heard me telling Eric that I hate the sounds of phones typing. Yet both of them didnt know it was certain tones that certain phones make that drives me crazy. It has to be a series of events. Such as the way Eric was smoking the ciggerate and texting, and the look on his face.
So... you think you funny typing on your phone trying to strike a nerve in me. Well just for that I think I should show you how something can bite you in the ass. Kevin grabs another rock and hurls it at the huge man.
