Mei had pretty much dozed off at this point, half of it was due to extreme boredom, the other half was just her suffering from refusing to sleep an appropriate amount.
The other half, because yes, this is how math works, is totally not due to her writer's laziness.
As soon as the sudden voice entered the room, her eyes snapped open and glanced around to detect where said voice was coming from, her head still propped up on her arm.
"I'm gonna head to the library, to try and research....stuff. You wanna....come?"
She could barely hear the dude, his voice being so quiet and all, but she somehow managed to pick up most of it. She let out a yawn, tilting her head as her eyes locked onto him and shrugged, a grin tugging at her lips.
"Pfft, nerd..." She muttered under her breath, before straightening herself in the chair and talking once more. "After all that, you still want me to stick around? Geez, where's the 39 and a half foot pole?" A smirk was on her face now, and a small chuckle was heard after her stupid comment, all before she finally stood up. "Eh, sure, why not..." She replied as she stretched a little bit, clasping her hands behind her head, her feet slowly moving to follow.

Sure was quiet in here, huh? The soundproof lining along the walls sure didn't make it any better. Felt a little claustrophobic, honestly, such a dull atmosphere with little to no variety in anything. The room was so quiet that he could hear the ringing in his ears loud an clear, the air so still it felt as though he was frozen in time. He was just laying idly on the cozy bed, unable to rest due to his unease.
Felt so odd being away from "home", able to do pretty much whatever he pleased. He could lie in a bed, he could sit in a room with nothing to bother him. He could be around other people, he could say anything he wanted. He hopefully didn't have to worry about much here, at least, not near as much as what defined "things to worry about" for him. It honestly set Aoi a little on-edge.
His motionless eyes rested on the ceiling above, not a movement was made and not a sound was heard. Aoi didn't really feel like doing anything, he honestly just wanted some rest. At this point, he had gone on with so little sleep, it was a surprise he hadn't passed out by now. It was a surprise that now, and only now, his mind refused sleep.
Instead it resorted to using this blissful silence against him, the ringing in his ears only growing louder and louder as his eyes began to make their own illusions on the flat canvas above. Painting a horrid image of times past that he had hoped to never see again. This always happened, what did he expect? Couldn't escape it, couldn't distract himself from it, nothing.
Horrid memories, terrifying sights, it pretty much paralyzed him in his bed until suddenly, it all came to a stop. Either he got enough willpower to make the slightest movement to snap himself back to reality, or it was just plot convenience. Or both, probably both.
Aoi figured he couldn't stay alone in his room for long, especially not like this, so he got up with a sigh. Before leaving his room, he adjusted his clothes and hair, then let his feet take him to wherever they decided to go, which just so happened to be the library.

"After all that, you still want me to stick around? Geez, where's the 39 and a half foot pole?"
He shrugged. "You're my dorm mate. I'm stuck with you."
"Also I know like no one else here-" Idris mumbled. "And I don't wanna hang out with Jackie and Kaden."
Kaden Sorrows
[timeskip to arriving at the library]
"Damnnn, those are some dusty books. I doubt they've been touched in the past century-" Kaden picked one up and opened it. A cloud of dust filled the air.
Kaden spluttered and coughed. "YUP- DUSTY AS HELL....ACK-"

"Damnnn, those are some dusty books. I doubt they've been touched in the past century-"
"Right? It's giving abandoned library from the 1970's or something. All this dust is giving polluted air." Jackie said, waving some of the dust away from her face.
As she looked around she watched as Kaden picked one book up and began to open it, only for another dust cloud to fill the air around them.
Jackie coughed and gagged alongside Kaden.
"YUP- DUSTY AS HELL....ACK-"
"This entire school must be musty if this is what the library is looking like!" Jackie said, nearly in disgust.

Emika tensed from her book-tress upon hearing voices enter the library. "Crud..." she thought bitterly. She listened carefully, nearly giggling as someone seemed to inhale too much dust and hack up a lung. She didn't have this issue, having chess servants made life far too easy. A thought came to mind. Perhaps these...
Bored, bored, bored. Marina was definitely bored, currently having found a way to the roof...
Eris had set up some materials to begin a scientific investigation. Bottles, tubes, a Bunsen burner, beakers, glass stirrers, and of course, the miscellaneous potion materials...

Mei kept herself at a distance from Idris, still following behind him but only barely close enough to hear him talk.
"You're my dorm mate. I'm stuck with you."
Her hands were still held behind her head as she walked, her chin held slightly up as her eyes remained half closed. With a shrug, she mumbled back, "Fair enough."
"Also I know like no one else here- And I don't wanna hang out with Jackie and Kaden."
A small chuckle escaped Mei's lips as they curled into a smile. "Aww, why not? Sure they'd be much better company than little ol' me, riiiightt?" She joked, right before entering the crusty musty and dusty room that held even crustier, mustier, and dustier books. Don't forget the crustiest, mustiest, dustiest students that had the misfortune of being in here too.
"YUP- DUSTY AS HELL....ACK-"
She looked over at Kaden and stifled a laugh, but saying nothing to them. Only a slight mutter in Idris's direction.
"Speak of the devil, eh?"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Aoi entered the library, keeping his head low and resorting to moving to a secluded area away from everyone else. He already saw Kaden's unfortunate fate with a book, so for now he decided not to pick one up and instead
For once, he looked towards the sudden abundance of people that invaded this place, first Jackie and Kaden, then Emika, and now Mei and Idris... Oh fun.
Posted: Sun, 30/04/2023 20:03 (1 Year ago)
Spacy as she was, her brain decided to take a Hiatus. "Um... Actually, I think I'm going to go outside again."
She hasty waved goodbye to Theo and Lin? and started walking towards the main hall, her map upside down in her hand. She didn't need it, she thought to herself. I'm sure I can find it just fine if I follow the smells of the others. She wrinkled her nose.
Posted: Sun, 30/04/2023 22:32 (1 Year ago)
He groaned.
"Oh god no, not them. I came here to get away from them-"
Idris turned around.
"I think I'm gonna leave-"
Kaden Sorrows
"HEYY! IT'S EMO GUY! AND MEI!" Kaden yelled. "Jackie, look! Even Mei's here too. Did you two come here together? Aww, that's so cute." He wheezed.
"Is that Aoi I see over there? And I swear I heard a faint giggle-" He squinted. "Who's hiding?" I don't think we were playing hide and seek, last time I checked-"
Posted: Sun, 30/04/2023 23:12 (1 Year ago)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
She raised her eyebrow at Idris, smirking as she looked back and forth between him and the loud-mouth yelling their names. "Pfft, already? Hmmm... Fine, have fun bein' alone~" She shrugged, waving Idris off before turning her attention back to Kaden. She rolled her eyes and popped her neck, seemingly ignoring him before glancing over at Aoi, who Kaden had just pointed out. She didn't really seem all that interested in anything happening at the moment.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Upon hearing his name being called out behind him, he jumped before turning his head in the direction of the obnoxious voice, unsure of how to react. Kaden was already teasing someone else, and now he was his target... Great. He didn't move much, but he still turned the rest of his body to face them with a puzzled, yet annoyed and exhausted look plastered on his face. Of course, being as alarmed and uneasy as he was, he didn't say anything
Posted: Sun, 30/04/2023 23:28 (1 Year ago)
Instead of teasing, Jackie just smiled. "The more the merrier, I guess. Who knew there would be more visitors with us?" She said. She playfully rolled her eyes at Idris as he left. She didn't really care though, he wasn't worth her time anyways.
But she did give a small wave at Mei.
"Is that Aoi I see over there?"
"Oh, the robot boy?" Jackie tilted her head. She did recall him with Kitty a lot. And his introduction when all of them got here. She still wondered why he barley made an introduction about himself though? Privacy? Secrets? Oh well..
"And I swear I heard a faint giggle- Who's hiding?" I don't think we were playing hide and seek, last time I checked-"
Jackie stayed silent, but she did look around to investigate the sound. She saw a girl with red pigtails and two guards by her in a fort..
It was...what was her name...Emika! And her weird looking chess piece guards...she didn't want to interact with her so she just turned her attention back to Kaden. "It's just Emika." She shrugged.

"You can't leave! What, scared of people?" Kaden said to Idris. "It'll be fun here! I do hope that's a word in your dictionary though...."
"It's just Emika."
"Oh! Heyy, Emika! Wanna join the fun?"
Idris Kallikrates
Idris scowled.
"I hope you break a bone." He whispered quietly.
Of course Kaden had to spoil anything.
"You said 'fun'. We're in a damn library. What the hell are we gonna do here?" Idris looked around. "Unless anyone has any suggestions-"
Posted: Mon, 01/05/2023 16:03 (1 Year ago)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
She stifled a laugh at Kaden's comment, looking back over at Idris. Yeah, "fun" sure as hell didn't even seem to exist for him. Look, he even put the words in quotes! Anyways, fourth wall madness aside, he had a point. Since when were libraries ever fun? All there was in here were dusty old books, horribly boring students, and probably a secret, not yet revealed, overly obnoxious staff attendant to beat their asses if they even dared to try anything.
Oh well, what better way to have fun than to piss off a few people?
Mei grinned and swung her hands behind her back, clasping them before rocking back and forth on her heels. "Ideas? Hmm... Let's see... Ever heard of the Library of Alexandria?" Her grin seemed to darken, becoming flooded with deviousness. Arson seemed pretty fun, didn't it?
Her face then suddenly began to contort into a multitude of those exaggerated, cartoon-y "thinking" faces, before she finally spoke again. "Ooooorrr... If you guys want to be more boring..." She paused, halting her movement on her heels as well. "Actually, I got nothin', this dude's right... Libraries suck..." She mumbled in defeat, but everything about her expression and words seemed overly childish.
Posted: Mon, 01/05/2023 16:39 (1 Year ago)
"Normally I'd be all for arson, but, it'd suck to get expelled and potential have a manslaughter charge on your first day, right? I'd like to experience the 'typical St Venti's school life', and then we'll burn the place down. Sound okay?"
He looked around the library.
"Man, this place is old."
'Dark magic' was a term that Idris was familiar with, as his powers fell under that category. But he hated having powers, especially ones like his. He was looking for a way to change that. Maybe there were some books on that? He heard that the process was dangerous, potentially even fatal.
But oh well, it wouldn't be fun without a death risk, right?

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Pffft, whaaaaat? Nawww, that's the best part! Getting criminal charges is just icing on the cake!" She giggled, continuing to rock back and forth on her heels. Her gaze was pinned on Idris's very obscured face, all with that cheeky grin and a giggle to follow.
Hmm... He said he came here to "study", didn't he? Did he really come here with that excuse, only to say the place was boring and then leave? Shady, shady one was he...
Her eyes then gazed over to the many shelves that adorned the room, her expression becoming more "lost in thought" as she looked.
"Old indeed..." She muttered under her breath, slowly tilting her head to the side as her eyes continued to travel, seemingly aimlessly.
Bingo. An interesting shelf, one that caught her eye. She hopped on over, humming a small tune while doing so, then began to shuffle through the books. They all seemed pretty boring so far, covered in dust and barely legible due to age... Oh well, she wasn't getting anywhere with this, now was she? Not like she was looking for anything in particular anyways, she didn't really feel the need to sift through a bunch of books for anything in the first place, but...
Ah. An idea. A stupid, totally not plot-convenient idea.
The shadow on the ground at her feet seemed to distort into a snake-like figure, slithering its way across the floor and "discreetly" making its way over to Idris. It crawled up his leg, then his back, and then rested at his ear. "So... A quick study, eh? Got a little something in mind, hm?"
Posted: Mon, 01/05/2023 21:21 (1 Year ago)
Emika blinked in surprise as she was directly addressed. Fun? What fun did this guy mean? She noticed the girl with the boy glance at her, but she didn't address the look,. She filed the moment down in her mind for later examination. Setting a book aside, she stood and exited her booktress, her guards straightening as she moved past them. "And what, pray tell, do you have in mind?"
Marina gazed over the courtyard with a sigh. What could she do for entertainment? Glancing around, she noticed that no one else was on the roof. She was alone... Time for singing!!!
These voices in my head won't go away~.
My cold shadow's fallen,
No whole earthly eyes,
Sh-sh-sh-shutdown, I'm out of my mind.
But they say I'm filled with wonder,
I've got this power within~."
Eris was deep in her experiment...
Posted: Mon, 01/05/2023 21:42 (1 Year ago)
Aww, looks like Idris still had a bone to pick with Kaden and her. Maybe mostly Kaden. She didn't really care though.
*after saying that the giggle was from Emika*
"Oh! Heyy, Emika! Wanna join the fun?"
"Woah man, slow your role! We barley met these people anyways. And her guards look like they might kill us if we even breath in her direction. I mean, you can kill an ang-...nevermind." Jackie said.
Jackie looked down at her nails for a while.
She remembered glancing at Emika. Hopefully she didn't notice her or anything? That would be..well, interesting or whatever.
"And what, pray tell, do you have in mind?"
None other than Emika herself had just said. Looks like they've been caught.
Jackie jumped a little at Emika's sudden voice and appearance. "Goddamn it.." she sighed a little angrily.
She really got a little scared of that?
"Anyways..." Jackie said. "The 'fun' that Kaden is talking about is his idea, not mine. I'm just walking around trying to figure out the layout of this hellhole." She rolled her eyes. A small smirk formed on her lips. "Although, a little fun won't hurt. I just don't know what to do.."
Posted: Tue, 02/05/2023 11:01 (1 Year ago)
"So... A quick study, eh? Got a little something in mind, hm?"
Idris scowled. "Go away, unless you want to be banished back into hell where you belong. And I was talking to your annoying creator." He muttered.
Kaden Sorrows
"And what, pray tell, do you have in mind?"
Kaden shrugged. "Dunno. All I know is that any more moments spent in this dusty library with nothing to do will send me to sleep." He yawned. "I'm tired already. You all can look at books all you like, don't let me interrupt. I'll go and look for secret dungeons or something, I'm not the greatest with reading-"
"Woah man, slow your role! We barley met these people anyways. And her guards look like they might kill us if we even breath in her direction. I mean, you can kill an ang-...nevermind."
Kaden frowned. Kill what? Did anyone else notice that?
"Awwh, don't worry. If those guards do anything I'll obliterate them with my amazing non-existent kung-fu skills!"
"The 'fun' that Kaden is talking about is his idea, not mine. I'm just walking around trying to figure out the layout of this hellhole."
Kaden scowled. "All of you are party poopers." He whispered.

And what, pray tell, do you have in mind?
Dunno. All I know is that any more moments spent in this dusty library with nothing to do will send me to sleep."
"Sleep, you say?" Jackie grinned. "That dust cloud surely woke you up when you started to cough and yell." Jackie giggled.
"I'm tired already. You all can look at books all you like, don't let me interrupt. I'll go and look for secret dungeons or something, I'm not the greatest with reading-"
"To be honest, my JJBA volumes are kinda better than these cockaroach hoarding dusty books." Jackie said, waving away flying dust particles from her face once more.
*when jackie nearly blew her cover 2927392927484 times*
Jackie noticed Kaden catch her slight slip up. She looked away a little nervously.
*back to the chess guards*
"Awwh, don't worry. If those guards do anything I'll obliterate them with my amazing non-existent kung-fu skills!"
"Period, it's giving fake Kung Fu Panda!" Jackie cheered a little.
Currently
*jackie not feeling the fun ; (*
"All of you are party poopers."
"Aww, I'm sowwy, dowes wittle Kaden want somewone to find the wittle secwet dungeon with him?~" Jackie said in a little baby voice. She giggled. "Fine, Kaden. Like I said, I guess a little fun won't hurt." She smiled.

"Go away, unless you want to be banished back into hell where you belong. And I was talking to your annoying creator."
A small giggle came from the creature by his ear, and even Mei's expression changed slightly. "A little vacation would be nice~ Got anythin' else to threaten me with, or are you gonna at least give me an answer before my oh so unfortunate banishment?"
The slightest noise came from Mei's direction as the book she held was put away, and she then disappeared from sight. The figure on Idris's shoulder seemed to fade into his emo outfit just soon after, all before the one-eyed on-horned flyin' purple people eater appeared again. Only this time, it was right behind Idris. "C'moooonnn, pleeeaasee?" She begged, the childish tone was hushed but still quite annoying.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Aoi had pretty much returned to ignoring everything and everyone to the best of his abilities, finding it easier to mindlessly sweep through the books on the closest shelf to hopefully find something to occupy himself with. He just hoped his presence wouldn't be acknowledged...
