In the hall with Maia . . .

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Maia and I walk down the hallway to the clinic. I look at her, worried. I just met this girl, and she seems really sweet. I hope there nothing wrong with her. Maybe talking would help . . .

"So . . . what's going on? Anything I can help with?"

*sighs, pulling the cross necklace equalsmcsquared out of her shirt and running her fingers slowly up and down the length of the chain*

There's this guy... I dont know why he's doing this. He's leaving things on my door.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

That's really creepy. Is he an ex or something?

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

No. I just met him in study hall the other day. He's in charge of the group I am in, Junior Achievers. He asked me to go to dinner with him on friday night but, we never finalized the plans you know. I-I dont know why he is doing this.. Do you know him?

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Roy is semi-jogging to catch up with them, just having ditched Geology. He catches the last part of this conversation.

"Someone in the Junior Achiever's club is doing this?"

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*jumps* Hey *smiles* Oh yeah the someone Angelus is doing this, at least that what equalsmcsquared says. She has everyones DNA on file.

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Roy balks. "Angelus? But when I joined that club he ranted about how he was stalking his ex, the Killer or the Slaver or something. Awww, fuck. Okay. What do you need? I can help with almost anything. I can turn his furniture into dust and woodchips. I can make a cement cage around him. I can most definitely set him on fire."

Roy's expression is a mixture of concern and excitement. He's extremely worried about the stalking behavior, but he's excited to know that he and Maia are in the same club. Also, he likes anything that gives him an excuse to use fire-based alchemy.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*looks confused* Ex? The Slayer is his ex? I've seen her... well, 'seen' her but is she here? on campus? *frowns in thought*

*smiles* Fire... I like that. Arent vampires afraid of fire??

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

"Can't say I know. I didn't think vampires were real until I came here. In my world they're an extremely ancient myth, as old and as imaginary as Christianity. But if you say they don't like fire..." Roy grinned. "I've been working on my fire alchemy for a while. It's not perfect, but pyrology is one of my specialties. And I'm sure make_it_ashes would help me. He claims to have some sort of fire superpower. At the very least he's a regular pyromaniac, which is almost as good."

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*smiles* good the more the better. I want that vampire to pay.

(OOC: my LJ is being a total pain the butt sorry for delays in the commenting)

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

"Done. I'll get to work on that immediately.

Um... where are we going?"

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

the clinic, but I am feeling much better now actually *smiles at you and then looks away blushing*

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Roy touches her shoulder lightly. "If you're going to be okay, I'll go find Pyro right now and brainstorm on how to make payback. Although..." Roy gets an awkward expression on his face, as though he can't believe he's actually asking this question in a real conversation. "If you have a recommendation given your abilities..."

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*thinks for a minute* No.. Pyro is the best choice, he's cocky, talented and can keep his mouth shut. *smiles at you*

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

"Alright. I'll see you later then." He smiles, and starts to walk quickly away, looking back to say, "Here's hoping I don't get extra detention for this!"

He rounds a corner toward the dorm building and is gone.

((
OOC: Okay, this sounded really cool and simple in my head when I suggested it, but now I'm totally braindead for ideas that would actually be feasable and not get Roy detention for life (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhighdorms/42149.html). I think one of the reasons I was having problems thinking of something is that revenge like this is probably out of character for him, though it's not out of character for teenage boys... Anyway, I've got the RP equivalent of "writer's block" so I am no humbly asking if Maia could change her mind and tell Roy not to do anything [though he will undoubtedly still try to pick an arguement with Angelus during detention this weekend], given that Angelus has already been beaten up by his ex-girlfriend and the principal over this incident.))

((much obliged!))

"...Alright. If you're sure. See you soon then."

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Hi. I'm Jack Shepard. *extends hand*

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Roy Mustang. Alchemist. And student, I guess.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Alchemist. Say . . . are you the one who blew the hole in the floor in the geology lab?

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I didn't blow a hole in the floor. Stupid gossips. I temporarily melted the floor so that some short kid that was harrassing me sank into it up to his chair. It was totally justified. And, apparently"-- he smiles lightly at Maia, "bound by fate to happen no matter what."

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Isn't that a little dangerous? I mean, someone could have gotten hurt.

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

He wasn't even injured. Besides, it's been repaired already.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Well, okay. So how do you know Maia?

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

*Roy gets a sheepish expression, and glances at her.*

"I tripped in front of her and she predicted my future. Accurately. I was skeptical, but she was right. That kid wouldn't have gone off at me no matter what class we were in."

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

She predicted your future?

*blinks*

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

*Roy has stopped listening completely to pay attention to Maia.*

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

Yeah, *in a low voice* I am one of those strange things at Fandom High

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Oh.

*realizes*

Oh! Look, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean anything by it. Like I said, I'm new to this. Please forgive me.

Hey! You knew I was from L.A. *peers at you nervously* What else do you know about me?

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*looks at you for a minute, up and down, past your shoulder into nothingness and then back into your eyes*

I see you struggling, there are other people around you but your alone. You try to stay calm but *pauses* there all around you. There is fire and water not much else.. your scared. Your scared, you let the fear in *hesitates at your anguished face* but only for five seconds.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

Uhhh . . . .

Oh, look, the clinic. I have to go now. Got a class I'm going to be late for. I'll get back to you on your Angelus problem.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

I've heard of Angelus, but I don't know him. Maybe you ought to report him to Principal Connor if he's harassing you. A president of an extracurricular activity shouldn't be using his position to harass fellow students.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*frowns* Yeah, *still fingering her necklace* equalsmcsquared is going to take care of it I'm sure. I mean.. you dont think he'll just get detention do you? Not for something like this.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I still haven't quite gotten a read on this place yet. There's a lot of strange things going on here. So it's hard to say.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*frowns* its not strange... its just different. *frowns deeper at you*

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

*sensing he's made a faux pas*

Oh, I didn't mean strange in a bad way. I mean, strange to me. Where I come from, a lot of this is a little bit unheard of.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*looks at you with a smirk* Your from L.A. I would assume this is all old hat and boring for you.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

*confused*

Hookers, druggies, and actors are one thing. Vampires, psychics, and people from other planets . . . another thing entirely.

[maias-notebook.livejournal.com]

*smiles* in the end though, its just everyone looking for a way to fit isnt it. I mean... if its by way of drugs to forget your reality or people from other planets who truly feel like their outsiders... its not much different Jack.

[good-shepard.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

You know, you have a point. We all have things in our lives we'd like to sort of escape from. I guess I just didn't see it until now.
