Under the pale moonlight...

[Jenna Scorn]

Slumbering in the park on this night.
We find our little Calamity.

She was curled at the base of a large tree, legs hugged to her chest. Eyes had been berried into her knees, but now those lids would blink open lazily to reveal glittering blue eyes.

Such a pretty night...

A few strands of pink hair fell into her face, and she'd tilt her head tot he side to allow the strands to fall to the side. Her hair was pulled back by a neon green and black leopard print headband, the rest of her hair ruffled behind her ears.

She'd stretch in place, falling asleep for only a few moments. Her lips parted to let a small yawn escape. Now, head tilting back to let those eyes wonder across the night's sky.

A white tank top hung loosely from her shoulders, and a pale green knee length skirt was draped over her legs. A few beaded bracelets decorated her wrists, a pair of white frilled socks adorned her ankles, and black and green vans had been slipped onto her feet earlier that day.

Our lovely lady had snuck out, a shock right?
Nah.

[Aureus]

Two hours of intense guitar practice could really work up your hunger. This was true even for Aureus Haze, who was washing the oily, metal layer from his hands with dish soap. I wonder how exactly you're supposed to clean guitar strings. Probably with a glass cleaner or somethin', I dunno. he mused, drying his extremities on a hand towel hanging from the oven. "Ash, I'm gonna grab somethin' to eat from the 7-11," He stated plainly, starting towards the door. "Want a ride?"The "adult" of the house asked, swinging her car keys on her index finger. "Thanks, but I'll be fine," Aureus replied.

Now, one would think that a teen leaving the house at quarter of midnight would be a little...unusual. Especially when his parent was sitting on the couch watching an old episode of The X-Files. But this wasn't a normal house. Ashley wasn't the usual, overbearing parent either. She knew her adopted son wouldn't be gone long, and if something came up he'd call her. There was nothing to worry about. "I just love that David Duchovny." "Yeah, he's cool. Fox, what an awesome name..."

Fifteen minutes later found the same teen pushing open the door of the convenience store with a turkey and swiss sub in his hand. The question now was: where to eat it. Pausing at the curb, the Pillar thought for a moment. Where hadn't he been in a while? The park... And why not? It was a nice, breezy, moonlit night and he had nothing better to do. Chi was visiting a friend, and well, he didn't know anyone else really. No one who he'd walk in one at midnight anyways.

Chewing pieces of bread, meat, and cheese as he walked, the boy looked extremely content, and he was. After all, he was back together with the best girl in the universe and nothing was really going bad. Well, except for the fact that he was still injured. The fight he had endured with Johnathan and Thrush had really done a number on him. Oh well, it was in the past and he would heal.

The white new balances carried the dark haired teen through the large arc entrance of the park and into a grassy field. Not far in front of him, a figure dozed beneath a large oak tree. On a random whim, Aureus approached her.

"Nice night, eh?"

[Jenna Scorn]

Almost caught in the dance of the sky before her, she hadn't heard the footsteps drawing near. "Nice night, eh?"

What the?

"Oh....yes..."

Gathering herself, letting those knees lift as she stood. Standing against the tree now, her left hand pressing against the rough tree bark as she looked towards him.

"..It is."

Tilting her head to the side, peeking out from behind the tree for a moment to look at him, look at him properly.

"You, I've seen you before..."

Stepping out from the tree, taking a few steps towards him as she inspected him. Leaning in close to his face, noses almost touching.

"OH!!!!"

Eyes growing slightly wider then before as she smiled now.

"Your that guy..."

Who beat the shit out of Johnathan...

Leaning back now, balancing on the balls of her feet.

"I met you, with Winters."

Arms resting at her side, head tilted as a small smile pressed against her lips.

"Come to beat up a little girl now?"

A soft giggle was soon followed.

[Aureus]

At the time he had no idea who the pink haired girl was. Sure, he had worked with her that first day at the restaurant, but there was a lot going on in his life. She had left an impression, but nothing that hit him hard enough to jog his memory after just meeting. Seen me before? The teen wondered, interested, although he wasn't expecting the way she came so close to him. Leaning back slightly, her loud exclamation almost pushed him off balance.

"That guy?" he asked, before Calamity clarified. "Oh, you're...Pink haired girl! What? No! She has a name, idiot. Hmm... Calamity. And no, I'm not here to beat you up, smartass," The Pillar replied, grinning back at her. It was odd. Upon their first meeting she had struck him as...less friendly and slightly standoffish. Oh well, couldn't be right about people all the time.

"I just came to get a bite to eat," Aureus continued, chomping the sub once more. "So, what're you out at this time for?"

[Jenna Scorn]

"And no, I'm not here to beat you up, smartass."A smirk, one of Calamity's finer qualities.

"Well, I aim to please."

A lie.

Turning her head to the side, to glance around the park for a moment before letting those eyes wonder upon him again.


"I just came to get a bite to eat,"

"As I can see."

"So, what're you out at this time for?"

Staying far away from my mother as possible.

"Oh, I was doing a special sneaking mission for the black ops....till you interrupted me."

Hands would press against her hips now as she let her weight lean to one side.

"Now that you know my secrets...I'll have to kill ya! Oh and I'm sorry, but I seem to have forgotten your name...what was it...Levi?"

Her right hand would leave her hips and would brush at her skirt. Picking a small leaf from the hemline of her skirt and flicking it to the ground.

[Aureus]

Playfully avoiding the question, she's hiding somethin'. Must be important. 'S not our place to question her. The schizo thought as he studied the girl. "Hmm, I doubt you could kill me, but not from a lack of effort," Aureus replied with a smirk. "And for the last time, I'm not Levi. I'm Aureus," he said, slightly annoyed. It was then that an interesting idea presented itself to him.

Wordlessly the Junior walked away from Calamity and stopped behind the tree she had been napping under. A second later, a red haired boy walked out, his green orbs focused on the pink haired girl. In his usual, over confident tone he said: "I'm Levi, and you seem extremely insecure. No offense, just somethin' I noticed."

[Jenna Scorn]

"Hmm, I doubt you could kill me, but not from a lack of effort,"
Mmmm.
Doubt.

"And for the last time, I'm not Levi. I'm Aureus,"

"Aureus? Levi? whats with the two names anyways?"

She'd say this, letting her eyes close as her right hand would brush a few strands of hair from her face. Now, her eyes would open, letting that hand rest at her side.

Blue eyes formed on him as he'd move behind the tree. Browse furrowing for a moment, and now taking focus on the red head that presented himself.

"I'm Levi, and you seem extremely insecure. No offense, just somethin' I noticed."

She took a step back, blinking her eyes.

"But....you....how?"

witchcraft?

[Aureus]

Letting out a short chuckle, Levi took a step forward to see if he could scare the girl a tad more. It was entertaining when he first showed people his condition. DID was a funny thing sometimes. "'S called Disassociative Identity Disorder. Think Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 'cept I'm not ugly. 'S no big deal, kinda cool though, doncha think?" Levi explained, a confident smirk still plastered on his face.

[Jenna Scorn]

"'S called Disassociative Identity Disorder. Think Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 'cept I'm not ugly."
A small nod.

Keeping those blue orbs upon him.

Definitely different.

She’d never seen anything like it before, or heard.

Wow, California is full of freaks.

Winters…Thrush.

Valekin.

This guy.








Me.


Licking her lips, moistening them as she shyed away.

" 'S no big deal, kinda cool though, doncha think?"


Looking up at him now, a small smile forming upon her lips.

"Actually, it is sort of...cool. I guess."

Her hands would join together, clasping in front of her as she tilted her head.

"Definitely interesting! I've never seen anything like it."

[Aureus]

Calamity was surprised, to say the least. It was nothing new to the teen though, after all, he didn't expect people to readily accept his condition. "Yup, I'm unique," he stated, still beaming. "And in more ways than one. I'm far more exciting than mosta the people you'll meet..." Levi said, an idea popping into his head. Igniting his gloves, he jumped forward slightly, hoping to scare the pink haired girl. It would be funny.

[Jenna Scorn]

She listened to him babble, watching his lips move as he spke. She licked her own, watching him still before she'd swallow.
He was too weird.

It was hard for her to accept this...well..whatever he was.

And now as he moved towards her, a small step back was taken.

"What are you doing?!"

Her shoes scuffing against the ground as she side stepped back, her hands clenching into fists as she stared at him.

Was he threatening her?

Eyes widened, looking wildly at him.


He's got to be kidding.
