 'Dwinn could feel an aura of lavish disdain coming from the nearby corridor. Such a twisted, deathly vine-like disposition was sure to scrounge up some bit of articulation for his novel. After nearly shoving a couple of people into the floor, he came across an interesting sight: What seemed to be death and greed intertwined, and an air of innocence that was being sucked into its void. Perfect. While staying in clear sight of the duo, he leaned against the wall, his piercing blue eyes stabbing through both of them as he observed, perusing through each and every intricate detail of the situation. He left no proverbial stone unturned, and kept his gaze locked on the moment. "Come now... surely something of use will come of this, won't it. Show me pain, show me disaster... I'll take your despair, and seize it for eternity in my novel..." Before he missed anything noteworthy, he plucked his magnificent fountain pen, letting it glisten in the light before retrieving a notepad from one of his pocket, keeping the pen in place until he had what he wanted. There was no reality, there were no morals, there weren't even people in the hallway to 'Dwinn. There were pieces of a novel, and nothing more. Who needed a heart, when one had books.

Brutix finally looked up when he heard another voice join them. The voice was clearly male, and angry. Wht now? he groaned silently to himself.
Brushing his long bangs back from his eyes, he could now see the boy as well. He looked even madder than he sounded, the small girl the only thing between him and an a** kicking. Forgetting the pain in his foot now, he rose slowly, carefully keeping his eyes on the other boy. The last thing he wanted was a fight. Not on his first day.
"It.. I.. " Brutix tried to speak, but his mind couldn't think quickly enough to fill the empty spaces with words. He stopped, mouth dry, heart racing. He was in pure misery now, wishing he would have gone to bed instead.
"DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" he finally managed, yelling at the top of his lungs, the words almost sounding like a dog barking. He hadn't meant to speak that loud, hadn't realized he was even going to speak, thought his mind had given up on speech all together. "..didn't do anything", he said again, softly this time, barely audible.
His face flushed a deep red and he felt tears stinging at the backs of his eyes. He couldn't even form a coherent sentence, he might as well go back home. Surely he wouldn't be able to make friends like this. He wouldn't even be able to keep this guy from ripping him limb from limb.
He took a step backwards, reaching out slowly for his door knob, trying to slink back into his room. He took another step, moving slowly and carefully. Another step, BAM! He tripped over his too long pants and fell to the floor, landing hard on his butt.
Pulling his knees up, he buried his face in them, covering his head with his arms. "Never mind," he groaned, finally managing to speak in a normal tone. "Just, never mind." X x X x X x X x X

Eir continued to stare at the ghostly visage before her. The more she looked at him, the more she decided that she liked him. He was quite unlike anything she'd ever seen. Nearly chilling to look at. Not to mention the voice. The voice of what could be Death himself. She was positive that he could easily steal the life of any of them, if he so desired.
Yet she felt no particular fright from him. She had no desire to die, or any confidence that he would be more willing to spare her life over any other, but the matter simply failed to phase her.
 Staring him over carefully, a glimmer out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. Looking over, she saw a man studying them, apparently taking notes. What was he writing? More importantly, what was he writing with? It was shiny and beautiful. She wanted it.
Already forgetting the once captivating Fear, she wandered slowly and gracefully in the direction of the new arrival. Stopping just inches from colliding with him, a distance that most found uncomfortable, she reached out her hand to take the pen, not stopping to so much as say hello to the boy.

 'Dwinn gave a low, airy gasp, jabbing at her hand with his pen. It may interest those like Fear, that 'Dwinn took a liking to writing in dark red ink: the color of freshly-spilled blood. "How dare you mock me! Get away from me, and go back to that savage chap over yonder! I haven't gotten any anguish from either of you, and I want your pain for my story. I swear, the nerve of some things..." Obviously insulted by her proximity and disregard for his possessions, he backed up with a hop, his eyes gazing into her, rather than through her now. "You've ruined my moment. I hope you have something to say about it, you incompetent little fool. better yet, you should just say nothing at all: I doubt anything coming from your mouth would interest me. Gah, this is a waste of time... I'll never get inspiration from beings like this. Maybe I'll go provoke that murderous thing over yonder. Perhaps if I make it scream, I'll have more to work with." The longer 'Dwinn spoke, the less it seemed he was speaking to Eir, and moreso just thinking out loud, in his usual dark, velvety voice. Were there any charisma to a large, obsidian raven, his voice would be a haunting comparison. His ignorance of Fear's capacity for torture was masked by his apathy to his ability. He didn't want to know more about these creatures, and he certainly didn't want to make friends. He merely wanted interactions: something so indescribably wicked, that the words would only come to him upon seeing it. That... that was the masterful emotion fit to serve in his novel. And even if he had to rip the vocal cords from their very throats, he would get the visions he sought. Of course... given that he was forbidden to commit blatant murder amongst the dorm corridors, he restrained his lust for inspiration, and his immoral, uncaring opinions of life.

Eir tilted her heard to the side, listening to him speak. He went on for quite a while, much longer than Eir could pay attention for. Before he was even halfway through his rantings, she began to laugh.
It was a high-pitched giggly sound, light and cheerful. It suited her young, small frame well. It would be easy to believe that she was your typical 14-year-old girl, if not for the tattoos. The tattoos stood out well against her pale skin and light hair, and the eye was immediately drawn to them. They weren't particularly interesting or beautiful, but they seemed somehow wrong on her small frame.
The boy continued to speak, and Eir continued to not care. She took another step towards him, now nearly colliding with him. She reached for the pen again, clearly fascinated by it. "Give it to me," she commanded in a voice that said the pen was hers and he'd taken it from her and she wanted it back.
 Of course the pen wasn't hers, but she didn't know that. Any time that she saw an object that caught her eye, she immediately assumed that it was hers or that she could have it. Why she even wanted it was anyone's guess. Usually she lost or forgot the objects that she so coveted in a matter of hours.
Eyes gleaming now, the pen clearly reflected in them, she grabbed the boy's wrist, her tiny fingers not even reaching all the way around it. She squeezed, trying to hold his hand in place, but her minute body didn't carry any strength. Desperately grabbing at the pen, her brow wrinkled in concentration, she let out a snort of displeasure. "Giiive it," she whined once again.

The very fact that she had touched him made 'Dwinn want to rip her heart out in front of all... probably to Fear's delight. "You mindless twit, unhand me this instant! Touch me or my pen again, and I'll run you through with it!" This wretched... thing was wearing thin 'Dwinn's already very icy nerves. To keep himself from ripping the girl in twain, he grabbed her own wrist and shoved her back, putting the pen in a sealed pocket. She wouldn't be getting that from him and living to tell the tale. "Filthy little monster, why don't you go molest some poor, unfortunate soul, instead of harrassing someone who'd rather put a bullet through your brain. You'd best appreciate my lack of firearms, you spry little nuisance, and stay away from me!" He growled in a low rumble, glasses shimmering as his face lowered. Having had enough of this useless charade, he spun in place, and proceeded to make his exit, taking his shiny, bloody pen with him. To think, a useless little imp like her would stain his potential inspiration with the curiosity of his pen! He'd written with that pen for years, and noone had ever just come up and try to take it from him. The very thought made him want to turn back around and shank the twerp, but he felt himself better than that. If he were to retrieve data from things like her in the future, he would have to be more inconspicuous. He couldn't afford for every scatter-brained nothing to grasp at the fourth wall of glass he stood behind. Why couldn't story pages know their place, and just stay in his book...

Listening to the boy's rantings, Eir was once again unimpressed. She'd heard many threats against her in her time, none of them to have ended her yet. She giggled again, sounding like the child she appeared to be. "You're morbid," she said, smiling widely, as a young kid might at a puppy. "Well, you know what they say: The pen is mightier than the sword!" She giggled uncontrollably now, appearing completely mad.
Feeling the tight hand on her wrist, she stopped laughing suddenly. Perhaps he would stab at her with the pen. Just as suddenly, he threw her back, her small, light body flying out from him, not taking much force to knock her over. Regaining her composure quickly, she managed to stop herself before she hit the floor, using her hands on the floor to help her stand back up.
 She was mad now. He doubted her power, insignificant as it was, and that always angered her. She was very arrogant and she hated being underestimated. Vanishing temporarily, she reappeared in front of him, hands on her hips and glaring. "Hey! What's your problem anyway!" she demanded, sounding like a young child having a temper tantrum. "You're just a jerk."

 This time, it was 'Dwinn's turn to get in her face, a mere inch or so from being nose-to-nose. "A 'jerk' is what people call me when they don't see the extent of the hatred I have for every last one of you imbecilic creatures. A jerk doesn't even adequately describe the glasses on my nose, let alone the top layer of my dismay. And you!" He stepped back, bright blue eyes sinking into her psyche. "If either of us is simply a jerk, its you. You get in my face, and try to steal the only possession I have of any personal value, without so much as a word or an excuse. most people would've been standing dead before getting that close to me, so you should just be damn thankful that I'm more interested in my book than your sorry life." For emphasis, he held up his little black paperback book, scrawled and smeared with his lifesblood ink. He of course held it up, to keep her grubby little hands from getting greedy again. "Just who do you think you are, that makes you believe I will tolerate such disrespect? If you're not the headmistress herself, you had better pray." While he did make a point that she invaded his space first, he was obviously ignoring all the biting, threatening remarks he'd made to her already. Seeing as it was commonplace for him to spit caustic fire at those he didn't want to handle, it wasn't something he felt the need to think about.

Eir stood stone still, letting the boy yell and scream into her face. Onlookers could have easily mistaken him for a madman screaming at a statue. She neither blinked nor breathed, letting him flood her with harsh words and threats, his growing anger still not effecting her.
When he'd finished, she still stood there, frozen, but not by fear. She hadn't been listening to all that he said, but she did notice when he stopped talking. She continued to stare blankly at him for a few minutes, waiting to see if he would go off again. When nothing happened, she finally blinked, looking up at his face, which towered over hers. His eyes caught hers again, a bright, biting blue. They shone in the light coming in through the windows. "You're pretty," she finally said in a voice that clearly indicated that she hadn't heard a word he'd said.
 She wasn't a masochist. She hadn't decided that he was beautiful because he was degrading her. She simply hadn't noticed until now, this being the first time she really looked at him. She was too focused on the pen before. She carefully examined his face, taking in the features, but the only part that really stood out to her were the eyes, like two bright stars staring her down in the night sky. "Do they change color?" she asked in reference to his eyes, totally disregarding the fact that he's have no idea what she was talking about.

 'Dwinn... simply sighed, and rubbed the aching space above where his glasses sat. Why he'd even gotten worked up enough to yell at her in the first place was beyond him. Usually, he would've simply ignored her, once he'd gotten her out of his way. It puzzled him, befuddled him even, as to why he paid her any heed. Readjusting his glasses, he looked forward, preparing to move on again. "You're pretty, too. Pret-ty stupid. I'm done wasting my time with you. Begone." He once again attempted to move past her, hoping she wouldn't follow him this time. He'd played around too long as it was. Her stare was beginning to bother him, though. The way she gazed into his icy blue eyes was unsettling. He was supposed to do the staring, not the other way around. What was so interesting about a writer that she'd want to stare? He'd never given a damn about his appearance, hence why his hair was so messy and veiling. He didn't even bother to keep his glasses free of the mop on his head. his choice of clothing was... moreso efficient, than it was a fashion statement, as he had no knowledge (or interest) of what was considered an appealing outfit. "Do they change color"...what on earth was that little wretch talking about, anyway. He never recalled wearing any mood-trinkets, so he was a little confused about that, as well. All the girl seemed to do was confuse him, and deny him inspiration: neither of which he was willing to tolerate without consolation.

Eir snorted. It was a short, rough, angry sound. She wasn't used to be treated in such a manner, usually having the boys swarming her, even if she wasn't using her powers. She had no particular desire to seduce him, she was just trying to talk to him. Why was he so mean? What was his problem?
"I'm not stupid," she said, as one might to a child throwing a fit, "You're just bitter for whatever reason and yelling at me somehow makes you feel better." The words and the tone both weren't what one would typically expect to hear from her, and it was in fact very strange for her to address someone in such a way.
She folded her arms across her chest, making a pouty, slightly angry face. She was staring into his eyes, attempting to fix him with her gaze. She was small of stature and gentle of features, making it nearly impossible. In the right mood, her eyes could flash a dangerous, bright violet, but she wasn't nearly that angry, and very rarely was.
 "I don't know why you have to be so mean," she stated matter-of-factly, sounding almost grown up. "If you have a problem with someone you could discuss it civilly, or just say nothing at all. Instead you choose to stand in a public hallway, shouting and yelling, spewing degrading remarks. Does it makes you feel important?" Her brow was furrowed now, wrinkling up her small face. It made her look slightly older, like she could almost pass for an adult, but it would be fleeting, she was never serious long.

Suki walked down the dorm hall in her tight dark blue jeans and cut off shirt and jacket. Sure it might have been a bit too warm for it, but she didn't care. What she was doing was figuring out where all the dorms where for when she was assigned one so she could find it easily. When she finished doing this she would have to find something else to do to occupy her time; she couldn't just sit around. Her bags were at the front of the all out of the way of people. She was not carrying them around until she got a dorm.
She passed a few people who seemed interesting, some she would like to talk to. She passed by a girl and a guy. The guy was kind of hot, but the way he was talking to the girl she wasn't sure if she would talk to him or not. Not if he was going to talk to her that way, she might have to smack him. She could get a bit physical when made mad and she would not tolerate being talked to that way.
Continuing to walk she herd someone yelling and looked in that direction. Seeing two guys and a girl she walked up to them after seeing one of the guys fall. She looked at the girl and guy for a few seconds before bending down to talk to the guy in the floor. "Hey are you alright? Are they bothering you?" she asked. She had other questions, but she didn't feel like bombarding him with them.

Brutix was on the verge of a breakdown, body clenched tight, mind racing, when he heard a gentle, concerned voice float down to him.
He was not alright.
But he didn't say that, he couldn't, he'd be far too embarrassed. Instead he sighed, trying to physically force his body to be calm. "Yes. And yes," he said, his face still buried in his knees, causing his voice to be quiet and muffled. He sighed again, the cool air in his lungs calming him slightly. Tears no longer threatening to spill from his eyes, he finally raised his head.
Looking up, he saw a girl kneeling next to him. She was small and cute, a gentle expression on her face. The last girl had been cute too, but she'd still managed to be trouble, even if it was her brother's fault. Looking around, checking for guys who might be waiting to attack him for talking to this girl, he decided that she was alone, and likely not going to be a problem.
"I'm okay," he said, placing his palms on the floor next to his legs and pushing himself up. His body felt weak and tired, the near panic had drained him, and he nearly wobbled. Steadying himself, so as to not fall again, he looked over the girl. She was still kneeling on the floor and he wondered if he should offer a hand to help her up. He wanted to, but he was afraid that she'd laugh at him, or completely ignore him. "I'm sorry.." he finally said softly, seemingly to himself, when the girl stood up on her own. X x X x X x X x X

'Dwinn was really losing his patience with this creature. What part of "Begone" did she not comprehend? He glowered in her direction, silently seething with loathing. "Because obviously saying nothing at all doesn't work on the likes of you, now does it? I've tried on two separate instances to leave you to whatever company you keep in this depressing lot, but you don't seem to want me to leave. What is it you want, my masochistic nuisance? Do you think you're going to change my mind, change my ways, possibly shift my opinion of you into some positive light? I think not. The only problem I have with you, is the fact that your stubbornness surpasses your ignorance. If you would simply leave me be, I would already be gone from here, and I'd no longer have to listen to your self-righteous blathering any longer. I don't need something as useless as you to justify my existence, but a creature such as you... you simply bring yourself into the spotlight by prolonging this double-edged discussion, feeding your need for attention, regardless of what side of the spectrum its on. Does being yelled at make YOU feel important?" It had been a long time since 'Dwinn had really gotten to let loose on someone, and even though this was the tip of the iceberg, it wasn't a bad feeling for him. His hatred echoed through the halls, proverbially rattling the doors in the corridor.
But, he was done. He had to find a way to silence this infernal pest for good. Noticing the lunatic in the back hadn't quite left yet, he pointed him out with great fervor. "You there! Yes, the crazy sadist. Come here and eat this blasted chatterbox, before I smear her face across the walls. Even the sound of her piercing screams of death would be more savory to my ears, than the incessant noise she spews out now." Wooow. offering a child to a possibly cannibalistic psychopath. That was pretty dark, even for Dwinn.

So he was alright? He didn't really seem like it, but she would pester him to get him say the real truth. So they were bothering him? But how was she going to get them to go away? What would she say? She didn't know what they were doing to him so she could say anything at the moment.
She watched him look around, what was he looking around for. She didn't ask though. "Ok then." she said and watched him get up. She didn't mind that he didn't do anything to help her up, she didn't really need help and whatever his reason for not doing so she was somewhat glad. She stood up and shook her head. "No need to be sorry." she said with a smile. What did he have to be sorry for anyway, not helping her up? That was nothing and nothing to be sorry over. "If you want to get away from them then do you want to walk with me?" she asked. She really didn't care if they were standing there or not.
