Dismiss the cynics [open]

[Lucas Blacke]

Luke had to briefly put his arms over his eyes as he stepped through the door seperating inside from outside due to the sun's presence. Slowly his eyes adjusted though he still wished he had brought sunglasses, and withdrew his arms as he threw them to opposite sides as if greeting the vast expanse before him. 

His mind had been drowning him with questions that, he hoped, everyone had. They were the ''can't solve but you enjoy thinking about'' type of questions. Like; why was the sky blue? What do they tell a mime when he's arrested? And the always good at parties: why is it frowned upon to take candy from strangers, but halloween?

He walked over to the nice shade cast by a tree and sat down below it, crossing his legs and propping himself up against the tree. He had of course thought of asking if Karalie wanted to do something, but Luke figured she wanted a break every now and again. And Luke also figured that not all invitations should come from him, he wanted to see if she was capable of contacting him first.

Though that would just turn out to be a waste since the boy knew beyond a doubt that he would be the one to want to see her. He just needed to find something to prolong the inevitable with. Or someone.

He took out his phone of which he had only recently changed the background of, it was no longer Marnies face, it was now Karalie. He quickly navigated away from her face as it just reminded him of her, he didn't need that. He decided to try his luck on a game. A quiz one at that.

He opened the app and tried to decide a fitting category to try his luck on.

[Kurt Anderson]

Kurt, who had just barely changed into his beast form, quickly ran through the doors, quickly opening them with his massive, clawed hands. Kurt quickly dropped to all fours and walked around the courtyard as if he had done this a hundred times before. He continued the walk until he found himself under a shady tree and curled up ,like any wolf, (well as wolf as this form was) under it. He looked up at the tree he was under and saw a large group of birds in the tree. Kurt had a sort of odd, fanged smile on him as he made a large roar that seemed more along the lines of a howl that scared off most of the birds. Kurt then lowered his head into his massive paw-like hands and began to rest for a moment.

Although Kurt was resting, it didn't stop him from gnawing at his fur for a few moments and making a few other quiet noises, but eventually Kurt stopped and lowered his head again, this time it seemed as if he had began to take a nap. His massive ears folded along the top of his head and Kurt occasionally gnawed at his own fur, but seemed to be napping.

[Lucas Blacke]

''Holy sh- airplane!'' He yelled out as he heard a roar behind him. He quickly returned his phone to the original resting place and quickly got up to his feet. He had heard of people who could shift, but never that it meant that they had a voice to go with whatever form they had taken. Judging from this one it was a wolf, and from what Luke knew of wolves they were deadly, bloody and creepy. Every reason he needed to go look.

He wondered if this was the reason Hammel didn't allow pets, since some of the students were pets. He turned around to face the tree and began gripping the branches, the first one was a bit shaky so he let it go and stepped back a bit to get something of a running start. He ran at the tree and placed his foot against the tree to use it as an extra boost for himself to get to some thicker branches he could more easily use to stabilize himself.

Being up in a tree gave him quite the view of the area when he suddenly spotted what he thought was the source of the sound. It was a kind of wolf-thing, like in the movies. It looked like it was resting, never wake sleeping dogs, right?

''Yo, the fuck are ya?!'' He yelled down. Screw rules, right?

[Kurt Anderson]

Kurt awoke from his nap when he heard someone yelling from higher ground.He got up and choose not to change back to his human form. He looked around for a few moments, but then chose to put his head between his paw like hands again. He kept looking up to see if he could find anyone, but there was no one that he could see. He finally looked up and caught someone in the tree. Kurt bared his fangs directly at the tree and let out a low growl before getting up.

Kurt slowly examined the tree and began to go in the other direction to try and get a bit of rest. He didn't know why there was someone yelling at him from a tree, nor did he care as he found another tree, not as shady as the first, and tried to rest again. He looked up every few moments to examine the and try to figure out who the person was. He began to pick at his fangs for a few moments with his massive claws, but soon stopped. He curled up on the ground,a little hunched along the back, and tried to resume his nap where it had started. He was starting to get ignored with the person in the tree, but he choose to ignore him again as he tried to resume his resting period.

[Lucas Blacke]

''Sleepy, are ya?'' He whispered under his breath as the wolf-man thing went away in the opposite direction of the tree he was sitting in after snarling and growling at him. Apparently this thing was pretty hostile and didn't look like anything Luke could outrun, or outfight. Maybe it'd be best to leave it be, it had been acting like a cornered dog a bit and curled into a ball asssumedly trying to resume its rest.

Slowly the boy got down from the tree. While the reaction he had gotten from the thing the first time he said something wasn't completely uncalled for it did make him think twice, maybe even three times about confronting it with maybe a less aggressive comment. But he didn't want to risk getting mauled by whatever that thing had for nails. Scissors?

Maybe it'd just be best to slowly get out of there. ''Good night, sweet prince..'' Lucas whispered under his breath as he bowed and started walking backwards and back to his own room.

[Kurt Anderson]

Kurt awoke after the stranger had left. He had a peaceful rest as the large creature stood up and let out a short yawn before it changed back to good ol' Kurt. Kurt patted his stomach a little as he needed to eat after shifting. He walked inside and stood at the vending machine as he stared at some of the items. The same as usual: assorted candy bars (which in Kurt's opinion, tasted all the same from one another), some fruit chews. and a couple bags of chips. Kurt reached into his wallet and saw that he could only afford one thing from the machine...but what? By now, Kurt had completely forgotten about the boy who had woken him up the first time.
