Devour (Gabriel/Open)

[Mitsukai]

It was rather quiet out in the courtyard even though it was lunch time. There were not many students roaming about which was something that Mitsukai rather enjoyed. She had never been the type that liked crowds, in fact she wasn't much of a people person at all. People in general tend to be quite loud, in your face and pushy. While others liked hanging out with friends gossiping about their peers and focusing their life on keeping up with the latest trends Mitsukai liked to spend her hours in quiet and solitude. She was a loner, she didn't need any friends. Though on rare occasions she did feel the stabbing pain of loneliness. It was only natural she supposed, after all it was against human nature to be solitary for so long but by now it was something she was used to.

Mitsukai was sitting under a nearby tree. Hiding underneath the shade as she listened to the song Devour on her mp3 player. she gave a small smile when she heard the familiar sound, for years it had been one of her personal favorites. It always seemed to bring her comfort in times of need especially when her parents had died and she was forced to move in with her abusive relatives that seemed to only want her inheritance and nothing else.

She wrapped her arms around her legs as she stared off into the distance, focusing only on the song blaring in her headphones as her mind began to drift out of focus...

[Gabriel Seran]

The school yard seemed rather calm for an afternoon; generally you had one or two fights breaking out, chaos everywhere there'd be no actual peace about the place. Gabriel had been doing rounds finding in it's absolution nothing. Was it really that easy? He didn't think so, always he'd assume it was merely the quiet before the storm. Because quite honestly all of Gabriel's plans were very long term, none of his actions related to such a quick paced change of events.

So for the afternoon Gabriel figured an early lunch wouldn't hurt not in a tree. A grin broke off across his face simply sitting there lounging. The sound of music blaring from an mp3 came from below.

"Hey there...." Gabriel said in an even voice curiously.

[Mitsukai]

breaking out of her trance Mitsukai turned down the volume, those feline eyes looking up at the owner of that voice a bit surprised. Though the leaves were very thick so it would be very easy for anyone to go unnoticed, and despite her usual observancy the girl's mind had been wandering the entire day she still wondered how she could've missed the presence of the other boy.

"Hi..." she said a bit timidly, unsure of what the other boy wanted but not concerned enough to try to push him away as she normally would have.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel dropped down from the tree with a short "oof" as he hit the gorund catching himself from barreling over forward. Despite being the Captain of the school he was still human enough to make that mistake too. A half attempted smile appeared on his face more in a pleasantry nature than anything else but he intended to make good on his promises.

"Sorry for interrupting but I haven't seen you around here, you new?"

Gabriel shrugged, he liked being in the know and potentially knowing everyone well enough that he could calculate their movements particularily.

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai had to hold back a laugh as the boy nearly messed up his landing. He might not be the most graceful person she had met thus far but he had at least managed to save himself before he fell flat on his face. Brushing off the little mishap he gave her a warm smile as he asked her if she was new. She nodded silently in response, debating if she should say more. A lot had happened to Mitsukai in the last two weeks that she had attended 259 particularly with Katsuri and Kevala who she had just recently moved in with. And from what she could tell so far was that Katsuri had a few enemies that also went here, in fact Kevala herself had had some run ins with some of those people. Without knowing much about the relationship that Katsuri had with the rest of the student body she was hesitant to talk to others even more so then she normally was. There was no telling how might decide to use her against the big man so Mitsukai had purposely kept herself on the down low. Keeping out of sight as to not attract attention.

She didn't know at least yet if this other student might to be an enemy so she'd just have to keep quiet about it for now. For now at least she didn't need to run away from this guy, he at least seemed friendly enough she'd just need to watch her tongue.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel searched about for another tree close by finding it easily enough he slouched against it eventually slidding down into a seat looking "cool" with his feet elongated out before him.

"So I'm guessing you're not the talker.." Gabriel shrugged

"Or is it just the nature of this school that teaches you to keep lips shut?" Gabriel made a short laugh, "well I know the feeling regardless.

(ooc: sorry bad post =P )

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai smiled at his comment. "Talking has never been one of my strong suits." she admitted. "Especially in this place what you say can get you into trouble."

((OOC: lol no problem....I also have my off posts))

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel chuckled lightly concerning her response.

"Well concerning the students' of this schools violent natures.. I couldn't blame you."

Gabriel shrugged lightly, he wanted as much fighting here as the next person but he was beginning to understand the unstable nature of this place all too well.

"Idol hands are the devil's play thing I'd suppose." Gabriel made a short lived comment before kicking up a bit of dirt and pulling out his lunch.

P, B & J; classic lunch something he was trying out to make himself more normal amongst a few of the students around here maybe he'd make an opportune chnce as Captain.

"Sorry didn't mean to intrude, just a bit curious, you know anyone here?"

[Mitsukai]

"Only a few." she said, counting them off her fingers as she tried to recall names. "Some guys named Victor, Gilgamesh....Sara" she nearly spat out that girls name, thinking about that one girl still made her quite angry. She hesitated for a moment on the last two she would say, after all she didn't really want to reveal exactly what her relationship was with them. Especially someone she just met. Ah fuck it if he ever sees me with at least Kevala he'd know I was lying she thought, there was still the chance he wouldn't find out anyway so it wouldn't hurt.

"And some guy name Katsuri and this girl called Kevala, not anyone there that I am close to."

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel nodded one by one as the names were listed. Gilgamesh and Victor were definatly some good kids, kept out of trouble unless Gabriel was the one to push them into trouble. Then Sara's name came out.... Traitor. He sneered a bit not enjoying having to put up with that girl, half wishing she was gone. He remembered when she challenged Mitsuki, the event was funny enough and he undoubtably remembered her betrayal back at Moral Crest. Then she listed Katsuri and Kevala. He was still unsure about Katsuri, he was an agent of chaos simply out to see the world burn something Gabriel advocated once but no longer. As for Kevala he owed her a bit, charming girl.

"Well you seem to mix it up good and bad in that mix." Gabriel chuckled a short bit, "Sorry if I'm offending them in any way it was not intended."

Gabriel shrugged unsure about where he was headed.

[Mitsukai]

The girl shrugged in response. "Ii doesn't matter to me who you offend. Some of those people I did not mind meeting and others I rather forget having met at all." she answered truthfully, looking at him curiously. He seemed to know all the people she had encountered do far, she couldn't help but wonder how much he knew about the residents of 259. She hadn't had much of an opportunity to learn about that herself being that the only two people she ever did communicate with were Kevala and Katsuri. Kevala was new to the school just like her and though she made friends quicker then Mitsukai could she still didn't know many others. As for Katsuri there had never been anytime to talk to him about it, her main focus with the man was simply training to increase her strength and nothing more. Now would be a perfect opportunity to learn more about this school she was attending.

"I take it that you must know a lot about the people here." She grinned. "Any particular people that someone like me should avoid?"

[Gabriel Seran]

Person like me? Gabriel thought, he didn't exactly know who she was to begin with so concerning who she should be around was truly none of his concern nor was he in the market of advising. If this were under different circumstances he'd have drafted her for the Black Knights but as planned they were destined to fall apart.

"Well I could offer a few pointers... Anyone referring to themselves as a Dragon is best to avoid. And generally anyone with a title or who goes by one. Stick away from them and you should be safe." Gabriel suggested honestly and without bias.

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai frowned, what the hell were these Dragon people? It sounded as if they were some weird group or organization. She recalled that encounter she had earlier with that history teacher Leon, he said that he was in a gang; could he be one of those Dragons this guy was talking about? How many gangs were in this school anyway? There was still a lot the girl didn't understand but she was determined to find out.

"What are these Dragon people, what do they do?"

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel gave out a small light-hearted chuckle; curiousity was a good thing right, if she knew would she evade them or run straight into their ranks? Gabriel shrugged regardless.

"The Dragons are the elites at this school. Very powerful and very dangerous, their sole purpose is to be the most powerful." Gabriel nodded as he mentally stroked his own ego.

Being the Nova Dragon granted him the certain power he wanted but then again the benefits were far too small to attribute. Not quite like being the school Captain. A small memory of Matthew Amtrum popped in his head. He had the right idea from the start, genius.

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai took the information in, seemed like everything in this school revolved around power. This was definitely not like any other school the girl had been to, in most schools those that were high on the social hierarchy were those with money, who could keep up with the latest trends, and who had the most friends; in 259 however the social hierarchy was determined by who was physically the strongest. Titles showed the others how strong one was and who one shouldn't mess with from what the girl could tell at least.

She studied the other boy again, trying to determine what his standing in this school was. He seemed to know quite a bit but anyone who lived in this area long enough could have this much insight, but she doubted that he was merely a silent observer during his life here. It would be very difficult not to be involved in any fights based on how the school was run, even Mitsukai would eventually have to get involved in some fights somewhere down the lines when normally she would do her best to avoid such things. He did seem strong but she wouldn't know exactly how strong without learning if he at least had a title....either that or she could just fight him but she had never been the kind of person to intentionally start a fight without a good reason.

"What about you? Do you have some sort of title that others know you by?" she asked figuring it would at least be a good idea to get to know more about the person she was talking to. After all it was always a good idea to learn what you can about someone who could become a potential enemy or friend.
