Partnership, friendship, it's the same thing.

[wickedwe8weweave]

How is it the same thing?

[loyalservant]

You keep me around and enjoy my company.

[Natsu looks between the bulldog and the teacher, before settling his gaze on the mansion once more, his face alight with excitement. Any trace of sickness seemed to have vanished in that moment.]

So, this is it, huh? I finally made it!

[firedragonslayer]

H-huh? How could a bird be worse than a ca--

[Natsu's sentence ends abruptly as his cheeks bulge, his eyes widen, and he looks moments from being sick all over the courtyard. He doesn't vomit, but with all the colorful retching sounds he was making, one might have thought otherwise.]

[Video] oh thank god

[halfprice]

And I'm sure a smart kid like you wouldn't want to turn studying shit you've already learned by experience into a weekly obligation. Waste of both our fucking time.

No, best you stick to biology and language arts or whatever other classes they shove you into around here. I wouldn't hear of boring you with my bullshit.

[halfprice]

Yeah, well. It's a hard-earned lesson, I'll tell you that.

[His tone lightens some with surprise. Can't fault a kid who actually listens, rare as that (fucking) is.]

And, in a joint crawling with mutants like this, it's too easy to forget that all it takes is one guy getting the drop on you, and suddenly the sole difference between you and the nearest Friend of Humanity is the baseball bat he just cracked open your head with.

All of that said...am I gonna get a name, or do I have to look you up in the student records?

[He nods with a small smile.]

Somewhat easier to remember if you don't have one of the flashy superhero powers, but I get what you mean. [A slight wince.] And baseball bats are terrible things, even if I've only ever been hit on the elbow.

[A soft laugh follows.] Oh, don't do that, they're a depressing read. I'm Fai Flourite.

[vaudevil]

[Pleased with this sudden development, Lee stands up and offers to help Natsu to his feet.]

Yes. I am Mister Lee and I teach music here along side refining abilities. I welcome you, Mister...uh, begging your pardon, but may I have your name, please?"

[man_who_would_be_king]

[Now came the question for Dio. Would it be better to lie about where he came from originally? Of course it would be. The less anyone knew about the first part of his life, the better.]

Buckinghamshire. [His accent didn't sound like that area, though. If Venom wanted to stay on Dio's good side, it would be best if he didn't mention that fact.] I take it you're originally from England as well, then?

yes a Jojo!

[airbrain]

[Keith on his break time, decided to spend it reading a book as well. Walking over to Dio he offered a friendly wave with a book on Criminology in hand.]

Is the seat beside you taken?

[wickedwe8weweave]

I'm not sure that's always true for partnerships.

[loyalservant]

Maybe you've been i the wrong kind of partnerships then.

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She gives a lazy shrug.] Or maybe you have.

[loyalservant]

Nah, I'm never wrong.

[except when he is, and he's usually told about those times in great detail. he's not exactly sure why he's friends with Arthur]

[wickedwe8weweave]

And delusional.

Of course a Jojo!

[man_who_would_be_king]

[Too friendly. Didn't these people know their place? That maybe trusting everyone to be just as friendly was a bad idea? Dio looked at Keith, then shrugged.]

Do what you will. [Meaning if Keith so much as did anything to annoy him, there would be pain.]

[loyalservant]

Remind me never to introduce you to Arthur or Morgana.

[then again, Morgana would probably love her and they would terrorize everyone together, and if Arthur was here he'd have bigger things to worry about than him and Vriska deciding he's an idiot. he flinches a bit at the thought]

[airbrain]

Thank you very much! [He slide next to him and cracked open up his book. He would have stayed quiet oh yes, but he just had to open his mouth again.]

Are you a new student here?

[wickedwe8weweave]

[She doesn't bother to ask why since his mind tells her almost immediately. She laughs and shakes her head.] I think everyone's an idiot until proven otherwise. You, you aren't an idiot.

[halfprice]

Pleasure to meet you, then. And thanks for saving me from dealing with more of Xavier's fucking paperwork.

[A tilt of the head to one side.]

So, what is it you do that's so unflashy?

video;

[comparative_insanity]

[He giggles.] You're very welcome.

And I... mmm, I change the way people view me. Their impression of me, if you will. It might get me out of a tight spot, but it's not exactly for saving that school bus full of kids.

[loyalservant]

[he's genuinely startled by that] Well you're the first to think so.

[wickedwe8weweave]

It's all there in your head. Which, by the way, you really need to work on your defense. Plus I don't think an idiot would figure me out so quickly.

[loyalservant]

I'm a good judge of people is all. [he dismisses her claim of his intelligence, even if he is rather smart (remember that medical knowledge he ran through earlier? idiots don't know things like that)]

Is my mind really that easy to read?
