Why am I here again..?

[ωΘĿƒ]

Le Cyll looked up at the perfect blue sky, sitting as he was on one of the dreary headstones of the Necropolis - a place quite suited for the title "the city of the dead."

But why, just because everyone was dead, did it have to be a sad place? Why wouldn't it be happy? And come to think of it, the nicely gated patch of grass did seem kind of cheerful. The grass grew thick and green, the flowers for the dead had dropped their seeds and some were growing wild all over the big, blocky tombstones. It did not seem so much a place of the dead as it seemed a meadow filled with cool rocks to rest on.

Which, coincidentally, was what he was doing. He was sunning himself, staring up at the scorching sun and feeling the ice cold stone below him keep his core temperature from rising anywhere above perfect.

At one point, he even decided to stare at the little daisies that crept up onto his stone. They were so small and bright, beaming out their nice little petals just like the sun beamed out its rays.

He was just so.... happy.

It had been a while.

Kevin decided to take this random path leading away from the academy; he wondered what random place he’ll end up exactly. Who knows! This place is freakin huge!!!! He ran his hands through his hair pulling his bangs along with him before they fell back into place. He stuck his hands in his pockets letting the ADHD kick in………oh look a butterfly! He watched it flutter around in the open air disappearing behind some bushes. Maybe this random place he was so absent mindedly headed for was a peaceful location judging by the butterfly. Noticing the path finally pointed somewhere he looked up and stopped dead in his tracks. “Dead” seemed to fit perfectly. Kevin blinked a few times noting the tomb stones scattered around obviously giving the message that his oh so peaceful place was a cemetery. The wind whistled through the eerie silence. Taking in a deep breath he entered the home for the dead weaving through the different stones reading the names of people who once were. He took in his surrounding finding the fact that a cemetery lay at a place with lush grass and colorful flowers amusing. Passing along a few more headstones he noticed someone in the distance staring off into space. Taking in his scent panic alerted him as he hid behind one of the stones. Ah dog! He let the scent sit more in his nostrils, no not dog……wolf. Peaking from the side cautiously poking his head from the top Kevin marched toward the person greeting him warmly.

“Hey you! What are you doing here!”

[ωΘĿƒ]

Le Cyll's head jerked up. If he had been in his true form, his ears would have angled forward, but since he was not, he settled on tilting his head in curiosity. A person? Here? He wouldn't think anyone else would be in a place like this, peaceful and colorful though it may be.

People had strange qualms about the dead. He did not.

But today, on this beautiful sunny morning, instead of wondering why this person was here he just responded to the question he was asked.

"I ah, don't know really." he shrugged. "It just looked nice."

Le Cyll demonstrated by picking one of the little wild daises at his feet and holding it up for the newcomer.

"See? Nice."

He might have smiled, but he wasn't really a smiling person. Instead he just played with the flower, plucking off the bright yellow petals one by one.

"Why are you here?" he asked, offhandedly, his attention still on the flower.

[areyna]

Kevin pondered on the same question thrown back at him, scratching the back of his head while letting out an uncertain “hmmmm……”

Pushing his hair out of his face just for it to fall back, he replied, “That my stranger friend is an excellent question.”

He chuckled softly to himself. Seemed neither of them knew exactly why there here, what the purpose was. They were just there. He decided to nonchalantly mimic the student actions plucking one of the wild daisies testing its fragrance. A sneeze escaped cause by the scent Kevin running his hand across his nose a couple times. He laid the flower on top of a random headstone with a sniff.

“Anyway……I’m Kevin. Who are you?”

[ωΘĿƒ]

There it was - that one moment of small amusement. Le Cyll did not think the cat person would take a daisy like him, and then he was not prepared when he suddenly sneezed. He was not a smiling person, but he did want to smile now.

He let out a stifled snort of wolfish laughter, the sound much like a sneeze itself.

"Le Cyll. Nice to meet you, Kevin."

He threw his plucked daisy away, the remains of it only the fluffy little brown center.

"Nice day, isn't it? I'm glad it's a Sunday."

Sundays apparently meant there were no classes, so Le Cyll would usually mope around campus or go bother the vampires until they started up again. Today though, the sun had been so kind as to allow him a happy mood. He had avoided the vampires of the town entirely today.

[areyna]

Another smile easily spread across Kevin’s face entertained with his new buddy’s name. But of course something as small as a name would show him amusement. Fact of it was, practically anything could bring him amusement. He was easily distracted in life with his thoughts switching from one subject to the next.

“Le Cyll.” He repeated. “What is that French or something?”

Kevin is bold with his questions, if he wants to know he will ask which can be risky sometimes. He crossed his arms on top of the same tomb stone where he placed the flower. Wait. He said something about the weather right? Well guess it’s a good day but Kevin never really paid attention to this. Anyway…back to his other question. He rested his head comfortably between his arms awaiting Le Cyll’s answer, still with the amused smile remaining formed from his lips.

[ωΘĿƒ]

Le Cyll shrugged, most likely to hide the grimace on his face.

"Something like that, yes." he said. Le Cyll did not like his name. It was given to him by his father, and anything that reminded him of his father was a rather uncomfortable thing to him. Besides, it wasn't a very good name either.

"I am French though. French Canadian." he quickly added, straying from the subject.

He had never been one to share information freely, but there was something about today that made him at peace. The one in front of him - Kevin - didn't seem too interested in the details anyways. He looked the carefree sort of individual.

[RuetheDay]

Rue wandered the path to the cemetery, an place that felt familiar for her, though she did not know why, though she had only been here for nearly a day, it seemed so completely natural to wander about it, she leaned against a old stone angel as to block the sun from her vision. She always was one for the darkness but for whatever reason, not even a lonesome cemetery could pay her that. Tossing her hair she continued down the path as she continued to skim Lolita, the groan of a bored Rei, her second persona in the background of her thoughts. She stopped when out of the corner of her eye she noticed two boys. Almost in an instant she had noticed cat and dog and after the fleeting thought of what strange deliberation she had toward noticing that nature... How profound is it that the distinction between cat and dog was so boisterous, but still the two were together talking merrily by the tombstones.... That is peculiar, isn't it... Rei murmured, from Rue's thoughts. "Talking merrily in a cemetery besides is rather unusual." Rue found herself stating aloud.

[areyna]

Kevin chuckled at the random thought crossing his mind saying the thought out loud unconsciously as he usually would.”A name from across the world and across the border.” He pointed his thumb behind him. “Sweet, dude! Pretty epic. Haha! I don’t really know where my name comes from. Never looked it up you know?”

He took his eyes off Le Cyll suddenly alert. He heard something. A small voice, someone’s thoughts? A louder reply to thin air proved there was a presence from someone and judging by the voice that someone was female. He turned his head glancing behind his shoulder spotting the red headed new comer. She was indeed a girl; Kevin took an instinctive sniff her scent revealing her as a female nekomata. He smiled once more. Well what you know, already found student of my race, interesting. He rotated his body where he fully faced the girl leaning comfortably on the tombstone.

“What’s up?” Kevin replied.

[RuetheDay]

Rue turned to face the blond, closing her book she dropped it in her messenger bag nonchalantly, running her skeptical gaze over him. She smirked leaning against another tombstone.

"Just wandering, you guys?"

She glanced at the pale black haired figure of the kludde then back at the blond. What an interesting little party she had walked in on.

Rue, Rue~ Who's the other nekomata guy? Rei whispered.
Like I would know... Rue replied in her mind.
He can read minds. Rei stated as a matter of fact.
How do you know this?
Just do, there's an eerie feel to that...
Why does this worry you? Didn't notice.
Because people will think we're insane and abnormal...
That's why we're here. And if you don't shut up it will appear more obvious.
Rei sighed in reply to this. Rue avoided outwardly showing her annoyance but was pretty sure that she was failing.

[areyna]

The girl replied, her reason for accompanying the dead seemed the same as theirs. Wandering. Just wandering. Seems wandering was the next perfect excuse to visit a cemetery today. Why else would a cemetery have visitors straying away from the usual fact of visiting a dead loved one? Praise the heavens the sun was up shining brightly at this hour. A cemetery’s appearance, even though this one was quite pretty, during the night ceased to fail from running goose bumps up Kevin’s arms. Walking among the dead at night with the moon as the only light source silhouetting the trees……creepy. The girl spoke words again, no, this voice was different, another female. Rue? Who was Rue? Is she Rue? The girl replied to her thoughts Kevin listening to the interesting conversation taking place in her head. He raised an eyebrow in confused amusement. This girl has some serious issues doesn’t she? Is she talking to herself? Was she mental or something? Was was that disorder…bipolar right? Ya, that’s what it was or was it that long worded disorder that started with an s. Schizer-something. Or both? What was her ordeal?

“Hey Rue, or whatever you name, are you ok? You’re freakishly talking to yourself as if you are bipolar or something? Well are you?” He did it again. Speaking what comes to mind first lacking the wits to consider what comes out of his mouth before her says it. Just giving free permission for the sentences to flow freely. O well, what could do? This was how he worked, how he was rigged.

[RuetheDay]

Rue froze, he was a mind reader indefinitely. Rue hated it when Rei was right. How exactly does someone explain this??? Several escape routs can rushing to her thoughts; No, wait, running wasn't the answer. Er, explain? No, no, no!!! Simply not, who goes right out and says I'm a MPD. Woot! Lets have ice cream! Forget the ice cream part. Rue searched for an explanation... something to make her seem less insane. Nope, that wouldn't work, he'd find out anyway and it was on her records.
Rei!!!!!!! What do we do? She inwardly screamed.
You got us into this mess!
You spoke up!
Explain!
No!
Make something up!

Rue shifted positions finally answering. "W-Well um... you see... it is that... well um..."

Rue, you fail at life.

"Shcitzoprenia... er, Multiple Personality Disorder. I'm Rue." She smiled a little.
No dip, sherlock. Rei snorted.

[areyna]

Kevin continued to watch the girl fight with herself or that inner being trapped within her. Again, he heard her argue with the second being. She referred to her friend as Rei. The thing about Kevin’s ability was he unwillingly heard the thoughts of others. He had absolutely no idea how and if he could just for a moment turn it off. He can focus his mind on one person and one person only though other than that every thought in the world sounded like a normal oral conversation, word said out loud, he can never tell the difference some times. The girl remained trying to concoct a decent explanation for the voice in her head. Why didn’t she just spit it out already? He knew everything going on in her head so it doesn’t make sense to mask what he already knew. Finally she came clean of the obvious info. Sounds like she was unsure of what she really had but she confirmed her name as Rue. Kevin quickly glanced at Le Cyll returning his gaze to Rue.

“You’re very weird.” He said bouncing a little up and down while drumming his fingers on the top of the tomb stone. He’d stayed still a little to long, he would start spazing if he didn’t move in any way. “And I’m Kevin, just so you know. And if it makes you feel better I'm ADHD.” he sniggered as if proud of the fact.

[RuetheDay]

Rue loosened up, shaking her head as she leaned more against the tombstone.

"Weird is a bit of an understatement but good enough. Nice to meet you, I guess."

Rue! I feel all violated! He's reading our thoughts! Rei whined.
They aren't OUR thoughts. Your thoughts are separate from mine. Just floating around from the same source. She corrected.
In essence "ours".
Whatever.

"So what are you doing here?" Rue asked as she straitened out her dress, adjusting her headband too. It was eerie the thought that he could hear Rei and her talking. Rue didn't honestly blame Rei for feeling violated, it was in good reason.
