chemistry is for naps anyways (brooke)

[Vrases Claudt]

Chemistry; the class that strived to mold young students to learn about the basis of why things worked together and why on the baseline explanation; how the chemicals interacted together. And what was vrases doing in the back of class, you might ask? studying? taking notes? no.....

......he was taking a nap.


Face down to the side, head slumped over the desk and one arm underneath his head, propping it from the uncomfortable feeling of hard desk. Dreaming about the party last night that he went to, he knew that he would pay for going to it the next day, as he rolled home around 4 in the morning. And sure enough, he was; it was only 1 in the afternoon and Vrases was out cold. Trance music played softly out of his headphones, only adding to help him sleep through the class. He wore his normal attire, a simple t-shirt with blue jeans on, and you probably couldnt even tell he had gone to a party unless you were close to him. To an experienced party goer, he still smelled slightly of alcohol and hormones; not exactly an unwanted smell, but not something you would expect from a guy in a chem class.Now, vrases wasn't exactly stupid; he had a A in the class, and knew what the consequences were if he decided to go to that party. but did he think that it was worth it? hell ya! It was great; the lights, the loud music, the mass amounts of raw emotions that tumbled through the air. All of it was magical to him, and he loved every moment of it. In his head, it was soooo worth it. Snoring quietly in the class, unless you noticed him behind the larger man in front of him, you couldn't even tell that he was there; or at least, not paying attention in the slightest. Now, the teacher knew he was a smart kid, but she also knew how he was; she had kept an eye on him as he slowly faded away into sleep....and now she looked over her students as she continued her lecture. was she going to notice him? or was he going to be able to get away with it with a little help from someone else?

Mwahahahahahahahahaha!! Chemistry!!

The perfect class for future mad scientists!!

And everyone knew that the best mad scientists didn’t give two silky shits about grades and whatnot, the only reason Brooke kept them up was so she could graduate and scholarship into the local university. She’d been living out here for the past four or so years but….guh! It was still annoying, having to dodge all those financial aid residency BSes. OH WELL!

With graduation just around the corner, Brooke hadn’t been going out to parties as often. And by not as often, I mean, not every other night. More rather, once a week. And often to dry clubs, stuff where she couldn’t get a good drink from. She still had a good hangover from time to time, but she decided that she couldn’t afford to be doing that for the time being. Brooke needed to buckle down and get her grades up because she needed a challenge and had foolishly(and purposely) let her grade in chemistry fall down to an F just so she could spell out the word FAAAAB on her last report card. It was for pure amusement, but now she was paying for it with all her mightily might!

And coming in late to class? Deeeeeeeeefinitely a no-no! But Brooke would not be swayed by the vicious looks of the tyrannous teacher!!

Brooke opened the door like she wasn’t already 10 minutes late to the lecture. “Haaaaiiiiiieeeee!!” she greeted the class, as if she expected a round of applause(or applesauce) to congratulate her for her entrance. Her hand slammed down with excitement on one of the desks that had a head on it and she boldly took the empty one next to him.

”Okay, we know, Brooke, you’re here, now be quiet and pay attention….and see me after class.”

“Righty-O!” she said with a salute. Brooke shut her mouth from then on and pulled out her notebook and text. “Heey!” she whispered to sleepy-boy next to her. “What page are we on?” Because he ought to know, right?

[Vrases Claudt]

Snorting in surprise as he was awakened mid snore, he opened his eyes and tensed up slightly as the loud noise and vibration surprised him. Relaxing when he saw it was just a girl, he simply smacked his lips a couple of times and moved his head up to watch the class. Turning his head groggily to the girl, he said "haha, i have no clue...before I passed out we were talking about stoichiometry and the study of hydrogen atoms....I would imagine chapter 14." he said, pressing his head into his hands and rubbing them furiously. Stopping, he looked at the girl and asked quizzically "you weren't here earlier; did you just get here or something?" he asked. He was a little slow now, after all he had just woke up. But at least he was conscious thanks to the girl. Taking out two books, he opened one up, his chem book, to a random page, and on top of that placed a thick, small book on Dungeons and Dragons. Vrases loved Dnd; it was probably one of his favorite things. Opening it up as the teacher droned on and on, he picked out the bookmark and looked at the girl, still sleepy, as he listened to her response, not really caring what went on in the class. He probably knew how to do it already, or it was easy; easy A class, he liked to call it, smirking to himself lightly.

Hmmm…chapter 14… “STOI-chiometry,” she said to herself with a giggle. That was a funny word. It was dumb, though, because it was comprised of everything that Brooke didn’t like, basically math and numbers. Not that they were hard, just that she didn’t like them. Numbers were boring. She much preferred history and English, and even biology. Those subjects didn’t use numbers. Well, sometimes biology did, but it was practical then. Well, she guessed it was practical in chemistry too, but it was more…number-y in chemistry than it was in biology, so meh. Don’t get her talking about physics, because that was possibly the worst and most confusing of applications of the murderous subject called math.

“Mmmhmmm,” she hummed out, opening her textbook to the chapter and check with whatever drivel the teacher was drooling out to make sure she was in the right place. “Did you enjoy your nappy-poo?” she inquired, not taking her eyes from the text. At least, it looked like he was sleeping when she came in, but maybe he was only just barely crossing that river.

Brooke’s eye barely caught the spine of the book he was trying to ‘cleverly’ hide inside his text and a tiny smirk approached her lips. “Hmm….Lendys or Chronepsis?” she asked as casually as she would ask the weather.

[Vrases Claudt]

smacking his lips as he tried to stay awake, he turned sleepily to the girl and said "why yes indeed i did enjoy my nappy poo, it was quite enjoyable. Thank you for asking." he said, trying to stay awake.

he felt his eyes snap open immediately as he heard the girl ask him about the two recently created draconian deities of justice and the future; one involved in worldly affairs and the other unambiguous to them all....and turned his head slightly to regard her, one of his eyebrows going up in a questioning look....did she play DnD? oh she just got a lot more attractive. Sighing slightly, he closed his chem book and gave up the ruse. leaning back in his seat, he quietly sized up the woman and pursed his lips, blinking slightly in disbelief that she knew what the hell she was talking about. Nodding slightly, he spoke " usually if i play a true neutral draconian, i generally like the idea of the deity chronepsis being the god worshiped; generally goes with the idea of being a true neutral character means have a deity that shares traits with you, and simply sits back and watches as things unfold....But if i play a chaotic good or lawful neutral character I like lendys. him becoming involved in mortal affairs and having a worshiper have to get a favor from is always entertaining to watch..." thinking for a moment, he tilted his head as he regarded the girl. "ok, since you asked me one, its my turn. Hextor or Kord, and why?" watching the girl, he was intrigued by this woman....and her knowledge of dungeons and dragons. Did he really just find someone to have a campaign with in his chemistry class from the girl who had been 10 minutes late to class?...oh this was just getting more and more interesting by the second, he thought, smiling to himself slightly as he awaited the girls answer.

Brooke pretended to be looking at her textbook and caring about anything the teacher was droning on about as she listened to the sleepy-boy’s explanation.

Hmmm…not bad. She took a breath as she began her long-winded response, barely batting an eye away from her book to look at him. “Hextor, obviously. God of Tyranny and Combat, originally the half-brother to Heronius, the God of Valor, but, like a sane person, he decided that a long time ago he wasn’t in for all that good shit, so he made some deals with some dark power, not exactly sure who, and miraculously became the God of Tyranny and got two extra set of arms like a total BAMF, effectively making him the King of Devils since his only notable rival was Heronius. Lawful Evil, but forget the evil, he kicks ass because if you obey the law, he’ll reward you, but if you break the law, then he’ll punish you with a six foot long spiked todger in the eye.” Brooke finally looked to the other boy. “Basically, he skull-fucks you into submission.”

She shrugged, looking back to her textbook. “Now, Kord may be a badass barbarian gladiator, but honestly, I don’t know too much about him other than he’s pretty much what would spawn if Hercules and Lou Fergeno had a wanking contest and the puddle of jizz spontaneously produced a deity.” She kept a small smile on her lips, glancing up to make sure the teacher hadn’t noticed their little debate.

[Vrases Claudt]

Eyebrows arching slightly in intrigue, vrases shook his head; this girl was, incredibly, a DnD player....Wow. Smirking as he listened to her explain how she would take hextor as a deity, he smiled genuinely. He had a sudden urge to create a campaign and get a group together, but that would have to wait. Sighing slightly, he placed his bookmark into the book and closed it. turning to face the girl, he looked at her calmly for a moment....then burst out in a maniacal smile. "who the hell would have thought that someone else in this boring school would play! do you have any campaigns on campus? I cant find a single freakin one!" he said excitedly. Glancing over at the teacher, he saw that he was being stared at by the prof and smiled and waved his hand at him. the prof sighed slightly, and continued on with his lecture; Vrases would be vrases it seemed.

As vrases turned back to the girl, He listened intently to her explanation to kord and snorted slightly, suppressing a laugh as well. A wank contest would result in kord? oh damn, this girl was funny. Smiling as he watched he girl, he leaned on his arm and tilted his head slightly as he listened to her finish her explanation. Giddily, he asked "Ya, honestly hextor just skull fucking people into submission seems to work; i mean damn, people arent going to listen to some prissy priest spout his bullshit about good and evil, blah blah blah....They listen to dudes that will reward them if they listen, or just fuck them up if they dont!' he said, smirking as he spoke. glancing at the girl, he asked, "How long have you been playing? OH OH OH!" he said, gesturing with his hands, not really caring if the prof saw him; he was excited and he really didn't care what a teacher said now. "if you had to choose between an animal lord of your choosing orrrrrrrr an alienist!!! who would it be?" he said curiously, tilting his head to the side, eyes sparkling slightly."how long have you been here...brooke I think? How did i not know someone else here enjoyed Dnd???! what the fuckkkkkkkk" he said, rubbing his hands over his face in exasperation as he began to think about the possibilities.

She shook her head. “Not really. There’s a couple-a peeps who play, but every time someone tries to set somethin’ up, it kinda fizzzzzzzles out.” Which was a shame. She cocked her head. “I think there’s a dude down in PR who plays or has a group or something but I gotta recheck my sources on that shiz.”

Brooke had been playing D&D for….quite a while. It was something that she and her friends did during boring camping trips while she was in girl scouts. One of the leaders was really into it and taught them. Ever since, Brooke had been invested. It was one of those things that didn’t really get boring because every time you played, it was a completely new story, with absolutely no way of telling where it was going to go next! Brooke sadly did not own all the books, but she did have them all on pdf, which she kept in her dropbox so she could access them from her phone whenever she needed a reference. Then again, the d20srd website pretty much had everything she needed for rules. Just not lore, which was why she needed them pdfs. They made for some pretty good bathroom readings.

Brooke shrugged, deciding to answer his first question first. “Abooout eight years? Maybe?” Sounded about right. “Been at th’ school for four.” She smirked. “Aaand that’s a tough call. Because on the one hand madness!!” Which she knew all about, from head to toe! “And on the other hand….cat-lords!” For obvious reasons, though probably not so obvious to this kid, who likely didn’t know that she was a cat shifter. Or more accurately, a cougar-shifter. "And youu?" This kid was funny, getting all excited for finding another of his kind. Brooke wanted to play with him a bit more.
