Moping around on the roof again, eh? That's really gonna help things. Is it my fault? If it was planned, then yes, it is. Well then because of me...Shut up, your selfishness ruins everything. If every moment always counts for something then we've wasted time sitting around. I'm tired of this. She's gone, and she's never coming back. You're done. I'm taking over until you stop this bullshit.

It was getting insane. Almost every moment he spent thinking about her drove him crazy. A flash of her with Karel made him want to shove a knife through his skull. It was so bad even when Levi took control he had to deal with it. Aureus was screaming for someone to help him, anyone to make the pain stop, but it wouldn't. He would just have to suffer through it until he became numb. I'll tell you one thing right fucking now. Never again. I'm never letting you get close to anyone. You're the most hard headed person I've ever seen. Maybe this time you'll learn. Please learn!

In the mean time, Levi would go around doing what he wanted for once. Who knew how long it would last, but then again no one really cared. Getting to his feet, the red head walked back towards the large door and kicked it open, lazily plopping down the stairs. Now, what was there for him to do? There had to be something in 259 that would prove entertaining.

OOC: Open, I guess.

[Stu Pott]

Justin had been exploring the campus, up to no good, probably, when he thought he heard a rumbling somewhere. Pocketing the PDA he had been tooling around with, he moved closer to a staircase that led to a set of doors.

Hearing shuffling within, he stopped, and hid around the side. Suddenly, a loud banging as the door was kicked open. Startling, for sure. He peaked around the corner, and saw a kid his own age sit down atop the top stair. He inched around the wall and looked at the man.

Hey... I'm Justin... New here... Yourself?

[Aureus]

Hearing a voice call to him from around the corner, Levi looked up. Judging from his look, he was a Freshmen. The boy confirmed that suspicion when he said he was new. Well, he was new, and he looked young, so the red head would assume he was a Freshmen.

"Levi Ranson, Pillar and Sophomore. 'S nice to meet you Justin. You need any help?" Levi replied, hoping this boy could present him with something fun to do. If not, conversation wasn't so bad.

[Stu Pott]

Just stared about casually, although with a hint of fear in his head bobbing.

No, not really... Just kinda bee bopping around, ya know? Basically... I have no fucking idea what I'm doing here...

He moved, and sat on the second to last step, his one leg held up to his chest, the other dangling onto the stop below. He leaned against the side of the stairway.

How long you been here?

[Aureus]

No idea what he's doing here? That's a first. The Pillar thought to himself as the Freshmen spoke. It was funny, because he thought the boy would have had an answered to his own question when he said that he was a sophomore. Maybe he had hearing problems.

"Two years, and no matter where you go in this place, it's almost always the same. I'm curious though, how can you not know what you're doing here? You're here either because you have to be, or because you want to learn. Or maybe you have to and you wanna fuck around. Which is it?" Levi retorted with a smile.

[Stu Pott]

Absentmindedly he played with the strings that led into the hoodies sinching mechanism, basically, pure force used to close the hood around the face. He sighed as Levi spoke.

Thats the thing... I don't know which I am here for. My parents sent me, therefore I'm forced to be here, yet I'm always up for a few classes... Its really confusing...

If it wasn't for those pricks...

Justin seemed to become suddenly angered at the thought of his own weakness. He fumbled for a minute with the string before it fell from his grasp.

Sorry... Didn't mean to go off on a tangent...

Two years you say? Wow... I guess that kinda makes sense since you are a Sophomore... I only asked, as, well, you know, some people get held back... Not saying you don't look unintelligent or anything! Its just that... Yeah, now I look like an ass...

He laughed casually. He seemed to be carefree and on edge at the same time... an enigma indeed...

[Aureus]

It took Levi a second to realize that behind this boy's overly dramatic speech was just something that almost every kid felt. It was a bit funny when he mixed himself up at the end too. Even so, the red head was still a bit bored and distracted himself by rhythmically tapping his foot against the step. He was going to ask who exactly the "pricks" Justin was referring to were, but decided to ignore it once the boy moved on.

"So you think most of what you'll learn is useless and boring and there are so many other good things you could be doing with your time? Heh, that's a given, man. And who cares if you go off on a tangent, they're fun. No point in not saying what you mean. Hmm, if you're not saying I don't look unintelligent does that mean you're saying I do look unintelligent?" The Pillar said, still smiling as he spoke. How fun it was to twist around words.

[Stu Pott]

Justin laughed again.

No, its a double negative. Don't look Unintelligent. Meaning, that the two negatives cancel themselves out, leaving it with 'You look intelligent.'

But yeah... Is there anything worth DOING around here? Seems pretty dead...

He fumbled in his pocket for a piece of gum, and then offered a piece to Levi.

[Aureus]

It really was funny when people confused themselves. It wasn't that big a deal, but he was bored and that was the main point of discussion at the time. "Yes, but before you said that, you said 'Not saying' which meant the opposite of whatever you said after that, and since we're left with 'You look intelligent', we get, 'Not saying you look intelligent. See how that works? But that's enough grammar wars," The red head laughed, accepting the piece of gum with a simple "Thanks."

"To answer your question, you can always go to class. Or pick up a book in the library, hang around in the gym, wander around pointlessly, talk with people, fight with others, etc. Normal school stuff, though the people here are more violent than the average high school students. Hope you know how to fight," Levi continued before stuffing the gum into his mouth. Chewing contently, the flavor soon flowed over his tongue.

[Stu Pott]

He crumpled the wrapper and shoved it into his pocket, next to the iPod.

I don't know how to fight... at all. The only violent thing I did was set those....

Never mind that. But yeah... I guess, since it is school, I could go to a few classes...

He swung the ear buds aimlessly, mostly wasting time for no real reason...

((Shittay post))

[Aureus]

Levi had trouble hiding his surprise. In this violent of a school it was hard to find someone who didn't know how to fight. "What?! You have to be kidding me. You've never been in a fight before, but you came here?" The Pillar semi-shouted before remembering to keep his voice down. If anyone heard what he said, this kid would become public enemy number one. There were so many kids that beat down on others to make themselves feel good. It was sad really.

Standing up and walking a few feet away from the steps, Levi looked down on the seemingly bored Freshmen and voiced the idea forming in his mind. "Get up, now, he commanded, his voice tone changing drastically. This was a serious matter. Once Justin had followed had done that, the red head would continue. "I want you to hit me as hard as you can. Don't argue and just do it!" He said, standing chest out with his hands at his sides. This kid was going to learn to fight, one way or another.

OOC: w00t for Weezer inspiration.

[Stu Pott]

Justin nearly fell when the boy shouted.

What?! You have to be kidding me. You've never been in a fight before, but you came here?

Justin stumbled at this. What do you mean, never been in a fight?! Not everyone is a belligerent moron! But then again, he had heard the kids talking about how many fights there are in school. You'd think the school would lock down on this behavior.

No, I have never been in a real fi-

Get up, now.

What the Hell?! Now he was telling him to get up?! What is wrong with this kid!?

I want you to hit me as hard as you can. Don't argue and just do it!

Thats it. This guy is bat shit fucking crazy. Justin stood however. He wasn't about to argue with him. He was a higher up, obviously, with the whole 'Pillar' attachment, whatever that meant. So, he stood.

Gripping his fist tightly, he looked downwards, setting the iPod upon the steps, high up so as not to fall on it when the inevitable retribution hit came. He clenched tight the fist, and then, with a grunt, whip his arm upwards and then forwards, taking a full stride forwards at the same time.

The fist came hurtling towards the boys chest. It would impact squarely upon the right side, where the heart would be if it was located on that side. With little strength that he had to put behind it, he fully expected to break a finger with this punch. His hair whipped around due to the sudden burst of speed that was given to the punch.

He was weak. REALLY weak.

[Aureus]

A grin slid across the Pillar's face as he waited for the attack. His eye's scanned every move the boy made, and overall they weren't that bad for a beginner. Bracing himself, Levi took the punch dead on. It was about what he had expected. Hmm, the step forward was a nice touch. he thought, still smiling while staring at Justin. Leaning forward quickly as if he was about to attack, the red head shouted "Boo!" instead, hoping to scare the Freshmen a little. It was all in good fun though.

"Not bad, kid, not bad. Try not to pull your punch so far back though, gives your attack away. Only do it as a distraction, when you try a feint. Like this..." The Pillar told him, drawing back his right arm, but lightly throwing a left uppercut into the boy's stomach. "It's important you learn how to fight, else the kids here will eat you alive."

[Stu Pott]

Somewhat wary of the hit that was about to come, he tightened up to help repel the blow. Still, it fucking hurt.

Knocking the wind outta him, he grabbed onto his stomach, a single tear bordering at the edge of his eyes.

Yea... yea.. yeah..

He stood up, keeping the hand over the stomach. He wiped away the tear, and shook his head. So... He would learn to fight from a pillar. His parents would be proud. The bastards.

[Aureus]

Levi was surprised by the kid's reaction, he had barely put any power into that blow, yet it winded him. "Oh come on, you have to be kidding me. I barely touched you. You're even taller than me. A bit lanky though. You need to start working out. Do you play any sports? The red head inquired, hoping to find out how he could get Justin into fighting shape. If he didn't, it would just be another mess he'd have to clean up later.
