Leaves, and Tranquility -[Open]-

[Thetis]

[[First post. D: Did it at school, had to sneak it ;x Gg highschool, so it's not great.]]

Leaves swirled around in the gentle breeze, caressing the bark and grass strands in it's wake. Although no tornado was made, they fluttered around, the feeling of fall finally coming to the air.

Thetis stood in relish of this feeling, playing with the end of her black dress in a quiet deligh of the joyless touch made only by pure air. It felt cold against her pale skin, the lipstick covering her mouth seemingly drying out.

She had been skipping her first day, sitting at the bottom of a tree with her feet in the air and her mind elsewhere in the world. Thetis had left her hair straight and primped, pulled back in a lazy pair of pig tails. Her lashes long, her eyes a shimmering silver, and her nails painted a dainty sticky "hooker" red, it seemed like an every-day normal life for Thetis Immortali.

The attire was her basic, black and white maid's outfit, bearing a black bandanna over her head. Pale white, shining with the strength and lustre of well-managed hair. The pattern was of roses, their vines intertwining and spiraling around one another. Running a smooth finger down her chin, before her neck, she laid, stomach down, on the grass quietly. A leaf hung from her bangs, though she gave it no forethought, not bothering to touch it or remove it.

She knew no one here. Although it seemed basic, she lived alone, and had made no friends. Having no one to skip with, it still felt the mild same to her as it would be behind a classroom door, sitting in a wood and metal desk.

Ah, the bore...

The sound of shattering glass may get some attention as a Junior with silver hair was put through a window. He was being jumped by vengeful students who didn't think they should take orders from the S.H.C.P, obviousely they have forgotten why they where chosen for their respectful jobs. His tan skin and dark red eyes offset the regular thought that he mite be albino. He began to stand as a few strong looking students piled out of the window he flew through. Pulling a white can with no label from his coat pocket he looked at the fools who dare attack him.

"You have no idea, the kind of pain, I'm about to bring you."

His fingers quickly opened the can and he raised it to his lips, drinking in the liquid contents greedily. He threw the can down unfinished, blood vessels in his forehead becoming more visible. Just for intimidation factor he took his coat off. The obviouse pulsing in his muscles would be visible as they increased in mass, making him look more than well toned, but even bulky. Blood vessels on his shoulders and down his arm pulsed and bulged as the flow was increased. The show had pretty much left the punks who attacked him stunned for a second, it had been some time since they had seen anyone use the old drugs in the school, rumors spread that they wheren't being given out anymore.

Well you'd think THAT was enough for this silver haired guy, right? Wrong. He clenched his fists and he had to concentrate hard, but his fists erupted into flame. Thats right, they burst into that hot element of fire, not because of the gloves, but because of his inner flow, if one wasn't looking at his hands and seeing the fire, it would be his eyes which where glowing. His qi ignited the hydrogen in the air, but usually it encased his arms from elbow down, he wasn't sure why it was only his hands. This caused the kids to turn and run away. Which was good, because even with the increase in abilities from the brimstone John didn't think he could take them.

The fire would turn off, his eyes would stop glowing, but the muscle mass stayed, the blood kept flowing, the drugs in these drinks working their magic. He'd grab his coat and slip it on. Well this was 259 after all, there wasn't much violance to it, but when it did get out of hand, it was best to be ready.

[[Soooo sorry for taking so long ;x Had a ton of homework.]]

It seemed, almost remarkable, and glass shattered. Thetis' eyes moved from the grass swaying side to side, to the shreds of material flying everywhere, seeing the male hanging limp by hand.

She seemed, distracted. Watching his body movements, the swaying, the can. Taking it all in, like a type of drug, before she smiled lightly. His entire body rippled with an unknown power, brought upon him by a substance she did not know; no matter. Thetis seemed to become lightly amused, the intimidation working, and, to her, the fire nothing more than a meager trick to scare off those unknowing.

Once the children, as she put it in her mind, dashed off, Thetis twirled a finger in her hair as she rose up to a kneeling position. Curious, and full of wonder, she open her mouth to speak, letting her lips stretch thin, only to see him slip and fall. She shut her lips once more, and smiled a tad, pursing them into a tight line.

Smoothing wrinkles, straightening lines, and brushing aside stray hair, she only rose a hand in greeting, not knowing if he would see.

((OoC: My turn to apologize as I got caught up at the movies. XD))

John looked at the hand. red eyes focused slightly more than usual. He didn't get helping hands every day, but the brimstone running through his brain made him alittle... Agressive. He would be alittle hesitent at first, looking at the girl... She had caused a bit of interest in John, which wasn't easy as he'd much rather knock the fire out of someone, excuse the bad pun. He'd reach his own hand out to give a shake.

"... Hi..."

Awekward? For him, yes. He had just barely escapped a major ass kicking from a bunch of people and now he was having a casual run in with someone... It was kinda different than usual for him. But different wasn't always bad, he just was used to being the seriouse type of person at school. Hell even that person, Chi knew that their 'friendship' was based on a night of weakness on John's side where he had too much to drink and got talkativ.

[[I'm no better D< Sorry for the short post]]

Amusement hinted in her voice, her eyes perking up with a light of bewilderment. Although her hands seemed idle, they were playing with the lines of fabric along her dress, lips becoming their slack state from the kind reply. She had, almost, been expecting some sort of retort of anger, but had become shocked when she received none.[/size]

"...Hi..."

Standing, Thetis lowered her arm to her side, leaning in with a timid face, a faint color of pink rousing onto her cheeks. She pursed her lips tenderly, before raising two fingers again, gently putting them to her lips. "[/size]Hello. Are...you okay?"

John tried to keep his fatigue to himself. He leaned back a bit and he looked at this odd girl. He wasn't one to say anything when he was injurred even if it had been months since his rib had been healed completely. It would probably be obviouse he was alot more tired than anyone else. But the problem mainly was he didn't care that someone else wanted to know if he was alright.

"I'm fine..."

Yeah that was obviouse in how he acted, right? He was just putting up berriers like he usually did. He figured it would be easier if he didn't know anyone, nor care who they where. But it was difficult going through life alone like this.

((OoC: Post size doesn;t matter to me.))

[Thetis]

Thetis swirled and rose up, seemingly ignoring his words, before taking a few light-footed steps toward him. She stopped, abruptly, letting her clothes sway with the wind, before leaning side to side, forward and backward, to inspect him.

Pursing her lips, she played with a bare strand of her hair idly, before shrugging. If he didn't want to say anything, then why should she bother? He was, obliviously, hiding something. Pausing, so many times, quiet in his own way, seemed to be too obvious to her.

She rose two fingers, removing the leaf from her bangs. Looking up, her eyes a watery blue, staring at the male. "[/size]Well...okay,[/size]" she smiled, letting it flutter away in the breeze. "Can I ask your name, then?"
