(PRETTY!)

[[ :) ]]

Corey walked in wearing a soft dusty blue hoodie with his shoulders curled in and the hood up, sitting down on one of the steps and taking out a book, trying to get the thoughts out of his head.

Lucky walked through the door with a small sigh and looked around. Another year of being around people. Great.

Bexley shoves her way into the room, hoisting her yellow tote bag over her shoulder. After smoothing out the wrinkles in her light green sweater, she reaches into her bag and pulls out her phone.

Silas walks in and looks around, hugging his seal to his chest. "This place is big." He says to the stuffed animal. He decides to sit on the stairs, hoping to see someone that looks interesting.

Bexley, angry that she hasn't received any texts, throws her phone back into her bag and sulks up one of the steps of the adjacent staircase. Like I even want to be here, she thinks bitterly, as she plops down on the cold step.

Silas taps her shoulder. "Excuse me. Are you okay?" He cocks his head. "You seem annoyed. I think I'm good at cheering people up."

Bexley blows a strand of hair out of her face and looks over at the boy, raising an eyebrow. She's a bit shocked that he came over to check on her in the first place. "Yeah, I'm just peachy," she huffs, placing her bag beside her, then in a calmer voice, she says, "I'm fine. You?"

X slips sneakily into the hall, smelling of cigarette smoke. There was something on his mind that he couldn't quite solve and had needed a break. Hopefully, no other teachers or, gulp, the head of school would catch him before X got to his lab.

Silas smiles at her. "You don't seem peachy. I'm fine, thanks for asking. Just looking for people to be friends with. The people here look kinda scary. I don't know..."

Bexley sighs and places her arms behind her, leaning back.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. They're all...so intimidating," she hesitantly replies, wondering what the heck she's doing in such a prestigious academy.

Silas nods. "What's your name? I think I forgot to ask.." He kicks his legs and snuggles into his seal. Would it be weird to take out a snack? She'd probably look at me funny.. but I haven't eaten in forever.......

X was trying to look intimidating or 'cool' but a few moments later he tripped on his own shoelace. "Shit! I mean shoot!" he mutters while attempting to balance himself.

Silas was watching X out of the corner of his eyes and giggles, stifling the noise in his seal.

Bexley's eyes widen as the boy falls to the ground. Raising a confused eyebrow at him, she turns back to the boy beside her. "Bexley Draper," she answers, "what's yours?"

Silas turns to Bexley and bounces in his spot. "I'm Silas Flumen! Nice to meet you!!" he says, still looking around for things to stare at.

Bexley makes an odd face when Silas begins to bounce but soon smiles at the rather hyper boy. "Likewise Silas," she says, wondering what he's looking at.

X turns around quickly to two students that he swore were looking at him a moment ago. Hm. Must be may greatness he thinks. Maybe they want to meet the great Professor Xaiver Dean? On the way over to the kids, he trips again, this time falling on his face.

Silas smiles at her and pets his seal. "Why are you here? At the school, I mean." He stares at the teacher and bounces. He's funny.

Corey stayed in his seat before stiffening at the sound of the teacher falling on his face, creeping forward to tap his shoulder gently. "Are you okay?" He asked softly, crouching next to his head.

Bexley jumps a bit when the guy falls again, this time landing flat on his face. Bolting up from the steps, she bolts over to him and gasps, "jeez, dude! Are you okay?"

Silas hops up and walks over, not wanting to be alone and tapping the guy's head. "You're a teacher here, right?" he cocks his head, curious.

X groans in response to the students. Curse these shoes. He rolls over on his back and looks up at them. "I'm still alive aren't I? Move away, give me room to breathe, god."

Bexley rolls her eyes at this guy's attitude. We were just trying to help, she thinks, crossing her thin arms over her chest and stalking back to the staircase. "Fine," she mumbles.

Silas moves back no more than an inch. "I like your shoes. They're nice." He says, looking the man up and down.

"Thanks, kid, but they're a pain in the as- I mean butt to walk in," X says while sitting up. He crosses his legs and sits there, trying but failing to look cool after falling. X squints at Silas and the other boy "You new here?"

Silas smiles. "Yep! I'm Silas Flumen! Even if your shoes give you hell, I think they look really cool!" He says cheerfully.

Jeez, this kid was happy. X nods and looks down at his watch, thankfully not broken from the fall. It showed him the file of this Silas fellow. Hmm... not bad. "Thanks... Silas. What's your specialty in spying?" X always got right to the point.

Corey just froze and moved away, staring at him while blinking before repeating his question in the same, but a little more robotic manner. "Are you okay?"

Silas thinks for a moment. "I'm good at throwing things! I'm also good at hiding things." He thinks for a moment. "I don't really have anything really cool though." He says, nodding to solidify his point.

"Hmmmmm...." is all X says. The other kid asked him if he was okay again but X just waved at him. "Throwing things aye? Maybe some kind of bomb could be used mumble mumble mumble." The tech teacher starts mumbling to himself, unaware of what a lunatic he looks like right now.

Silas tilts his head, trying to catch what the guy was mumbling. I like bombs. I think we'll get along well. I'm going to like his class. "Bombs are nice, but I prefer knives. They fly better. Bombs wouldn't go as far. Maybe if the bombs were arrow shaped, they'd fly better."

X gapes at the boy. "You're a god dang genius kid! Weapons aren't really in my area but if I make some techy excuse then they'll probably let me.." He stands up suddenly, something that a normal thirty-year-old couldn't usually do, and holds out a large hand. "The names Xaiver Dean, everyone else calls me X so you might as well too."

((oh gosh, the things X will make now.))

Silas grins. He's never been called a genius before. It felt nice.. He shakes the man's hand, slipping the stuffed seal into his other hand. "Nice to meet you sir!"

(( Silas will help him with ideas just because he likes talking to someone about this kinda stuff ))

X glances at the seal but shrugs, he had a large polar bear at his house that he snuggled, so who was X to judge? "Nice to meet you too Si, and can I apologize for my attitude earlier? It's been a rough morning," he says and drops the boy's hand.

Corey just got up and started to walk away, pretty sure that the man who had just face-planted would probably get a lot of attention. And Corey hated attention with an icy passion.

Bexley stands up and starts to leave the entrance hall, tired of the weird teacher. She lifts her bag over her shoulder and pushes her way through the door with a sigh.

((sorry Ark for X ignoring Corey! He's just a bit, er, crazy.))

Silas waves dismissively. “Everyone has their bad moments. Want a snack? That always helps me!” He asks, bouncing on his toes.

((No problem!!!! And don't worry, X is awesome!))

(( in the words of Silas: “Crazy is fun!” ))

(Then I'm EXTREMELY fun!)

X nods without actually understanding the question, as he was already thinking up things to build.

Silas turns his seal over and presses his thumb into the nape of it's neck. A few clicks come from within the toy to which Silas replies with clicks of his own. The head of the seal pops off and he reaches inside to produce a bag of cheez-its.

(( I am so proud of myself for making a baby character with a robot seal ))

((omgosh what. that's amazing))

Once again X is shocked out of his inner monologue by this boy. "H-hey kid, can I get a look at that seal?" he asks reverently.
