NEW BEGINNINGS

[makenaide]

Spring is here and newest crop of students have finally arrived at Crux Academy and Nebulae Institute. Both campuses are abuzz with activity as first years filter in, some confused, others excited and honored to be attending such a prestigious institution. Class assignments would be found on the large bulletin board toward the front of campus, and while some friends may find themselves once again sharing the same class, others will be given the opportunity to nurture new relationships with future friends (or enemies).

Classes for the first day will be short, punctuated by a welcoming ceremony led by each school's respective headmaster and headmistress, as well as an upperclassman that has some significance to the rest of the student body. Students are then permitted to take the rest of the day for themselves, to get acclimated to the campus as well as Galactica, should they so choose. Why not explore the school? Take a trip into the city? Or perhaps get to know your dorm mate, classmates or fellow faculty members? Or perhaps, if you are that sort of person, terrorize the town? The choice is yours.

[Well, well. Not bad at all. His eyes follow the cream puff's flight path through the air to where it goes splat on the ground... or rather the eyes atop his hood do. His attack is soundly foiled but he doesn't seem all that put out by it, just smirking as he turns his focus back on Lux.]

You are? But that's so boring. [He drops out of the air, drifting down to the ground beside the discarded pastry and stomping a foot down on it for good measure. Somebody probably put a lot of work into making those things with their bare hands... it's the only fate they deserve.] And here I was thinking of trying something new and starting the year off with a good grudge, but I guess you're not the kind of person I'm looking for....

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Her eyes follow the hooded stranger as he drifts to the ground, and while she makes no immediate movements to show otherwise, Lux is immediately on high alert. Truth be told, this was a bad situation. They were in a populated area, and he could clearly see what she looked like. Transforming here, in front of him, would be unideal to say the least. ]

Sorry, I'm not here to entertain.

[ Tipping her chin up slightly, she gave him a sickeningly sweet smile. Cause trouble and you'll regret it. If it was a grudge you wanted, she would be more than happy to oblige. ]

If you're trying to provoke me, it won't work. Besides, it looks like you're by yourself today. Don't you know it's better to make friends on the first day of school instead of playing the lone wolf?

[zetsuketsu]

[It's not as if he was ever interested in confronting her on any kind of even playing field. Besides, a crowded street like this, if he really wanted to throw down he'd have his pick of innocent citizens with their bright and shining dreams.

If Lux is on high alert than Lock's just... about as calm as he can be. Slouched a little, hands in his pockets.]

Friends? Nah, that's not my style. [He shrugs a shoulder, sighing.] Who wants to waste their time hanging around and watching the new kids wander around with those stupid looks on their faces? I'd much rather come into town and see if I could find something fun to do. But so far it looks like you're boring too.

with the proper blond's journal this time

[ladyofluminosity]

I would say that I'm offended, but I'm not in the slightest.

[ He was toying with her. If he really had any aim to do anything, he would have done it by now. Flipping her hair a bit with her hand, she put the same hand on her hip. ]

I'm not here to entertain some pastry-throwing thug. I have better things to do with my time off.

[ Like apparently stand here and snark instead. Details. ]

[zetsuketsu]

[At least this time he has the graces to drop his smirk, looking a little bit disappointed at Lux's stalwart refusal to take offense to his remarks. He tilts his head a little bit.]

Hmm... and now you're calling me names. I would've thought that a student at Crux Academy wouldn't be that rude... just my luck, I ran into the class dunce.

[A shrug.]

Buuut, I guess the hair should've been a dead giveaway.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ No Lux, don't give him the joy of knowing that he's getting under your skin. Taking a deep breath through her nose, the blond continues to smile through, although it's a bit forced by this point. ]

It isn't name calling, it's truth. If I knew your name, I might use it. But then, if the shoe fits.

[zetsuketsu]

Heh.

[There's nothing forced about his grin. The strain in her smile isn't too hard to see and he just shrugs again.]

I guess so. I'd introduce myself, but a hopeless dunce like you don't need to know my name.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Her eyebrows raise a bit. ]

Then I suppose you'll be nothing more than a petty thug.

[zetsuketsu]

Petty, huh?

[He gives a laugh as those weird eyes on his hood shift away from Lux to look out over the crowd of people on the street instead.]

... How about I go ahead and show you how petty I am? All I need is a quick volunteer....

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Her expression turns surprisingly dark as her hand hovers near the pendant hanging at her chest. Don't make threats like that idly, friend. ]

[zetsuketsu]

Heh.

[He laughs as he redirects his attention onto her, his grin only growing wider and losing just a little of that playfulness.]

Now there's the look I was hoping for. So, does that mean you want to fight me after all? If not, I'll have no choice but to find my fun somewhere else.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ It was unsettling, that grin, and while her hand still hovered over her pendant, she kept her eyes on him, taking in any kind of subtle movement. If he thought this was going to be a game of cat and mouse, he would be dead wrong. ]

I have better things to do than teach you a lesson, to be perfectly honest. Besides, you seem to be by yourself today. Pity, that.
