Anti-Social (open)

[Ceraphine Davis]

She listened as he spoke, taking into account his eyes and simply making a note of them. There was something that she seemed to recognize about him but for the lack of knowing what it was, she just let it go.

As he finished up, she shrugged softly and smiled, mind thinking back to her time at 259.....

"I used to do only dark stuff. But then I met some people back at my old school that sorta changed my outlook on things. So I started doing a mixture of both the darker sides of human society and the more beautiful things the world has to offer. The things that people often over look because they are so caught up with the ugliness around them."

She shrugged and would just continue to study his face. What was it? She knew she had never met him, his eyes were something she would not forget, but still, there had to be something. She was not the type to read too much into any one thing without there being some reason.

She figured she would figure it out soon enough. Just a matter of time she supposed. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts of that matter for the time being she sat there, simply waiting on some form of response from him.

She did not know why it made him so uneasy talking to her, but apparently it did......She would have to try and be a bit nicer she supposed...or something......just have to see where things were headed.....Always good to make friends.....Or at least she hoped that was where this was going.

[jayden]

Jayden nodded listening, old school, he had of course been at Masters academy for the whole of his life up until this point, an experiance that the legacy of his beloved counterpart had certainly made a horrible wreck of. still that wasn't important now. Light? the prettier things the world had to offer? Jayden had a hard time grasping these things having never experianced them, he was certain they where there somewhere... but he was not the type of person to ever be lucky enough to experiance it. the thrills of being liked, the adventures of having friends, the ability to laugh at someones joke without anyone looking at you funny, must have been a nice luxury, and probably one this girl was quite familiar with looking at her... perhaps she'd be able to help him?

'don't get too ahead of yourself there...' he thought to himself bitterly, a little glint in his seperately colored eyes, this was going to be a curious meeting here, though he was certainly hoping it would turn into some kind of friendship...

"I'm sure a lot of people have a hard time seeing that light" he said, somewhat to himself but certainly loud enough for her to hear, he didn't want to just tell her, 'hey by the way, I'm totally emo and have lost all my faith in humanity because its just a dark sinister nothing that holds no hope in my eyes'. however he was a curious person

"How did they change your outlook, seems like it would be hard to do?" he asked calmly.

and why was she looking at him like that, almost like he was being studied... he didn't care for it, he wasn't some freak to be stared at... but at the same time he did like it, at least someone was really paying attention to him

[Ceraphine Davis]

She thought about it. It was not a matter of her outlook being changed really, but a matter of her better understanding things through their eyes. She shrugged, trying to think of how to explain it to him.......

"It is hard to explain really. It more or less gave me insight into the way others view things, the way they see the world...Opened my eyes up to things that.....even though I may not like them.......other do and changed the way I depict it in my art....gave me a wider scope of people to sell to."

She shrugged once more, figuring that was the best explination she could come up with. Thinking back to the people she met......

"A few also helped me to see that there is more to life than the darkness I sheltered myself in. Though they did hold more hope for things than I do....Heh....."

It was true....Gabriel, however dark and depressing he was at times was always hopeful that humanity could be saved....Victor..well despite the fact that she knew he kept stuff hidden behind that smile he always wore around her, always seemed to find the best of any situation....always made her feel like she was more than just another stupid girl........and Mischa had showed her that it was possible to be happy....at least for the most part........

Shaking her head she cleared her thoughts, not really wishing to think about either man at the moment....Yeah just not a path this little female wanted to walk down right now.....her attention shifting instead back to Jayden.

[jayden]

Jayden listened as she explained, others view. something he often did not consider, and he knew it. but thats also because he simply knew others where often wrong, why trust their opinion if it was worth nothing? still it was admirable that she gave people such a chance.

his hand came up, brushing along his own chin, thinking softly to himself as he stroked his smooth face "I see... so did it just affect your art... or you entirely?" he asked, he wanted to see how much this girl would simply trust a stranger partly, and he also partly wanted to simply know. Dio looked up between the two, his face so kind looking, his eyes so bright and innocent, he studied the two of them. Jayden wondered how someone like Dio looked at the world, optimistic even when staring at two dark people... or rather one dark person and one person who seemed to be turning to the light.

[Ceraphine Davis]

She had to think about that for a moment, and then with a light shrug she sighed, she missed them, but there was nothing she could really do about that. They had all left before she had, and other than Mischa, she was pretty much alone in this new place.

"A bit of both I suppose. When I first moved there, I was a closed shut in, scared of the world outside and weak and very easily broken.......Then I met this one guy who...he made me feel human..made me feel for the first time in my life that I was special......It changed me and my art in ways I do not think he will ever fully understand........"

She sighed softly, her hand coming up to push back her hair as she let her mind run over what memories she had of Victor....Though quickly they were shadowed over by those of Gabriel....he had changed her.....not her art...but her......

"Then, I met another who changed me....made me stronger, made me more self reliant and less dependent on others. He was my best friend.....my brother.....not by blood but in my heart...."

She winced lightly. She did well not to think of Gabriel...not to think of how it had killed her when he had just up and left...nothing said to her about what was going on...She had just been the idiot that honestly thought he trusted her.....

"Then there was Mischa...my girlfriend.....She showed me that there is such a thing as love....that not everyone leaves.....That maybe I am not this monster that I believe myself to be.....my art changed.....for her...I changed...."

She then let her eyes come up to meet his own as she smiled lightly and shrugged....It was the best answer she could give him. She could have lied...but Kev sucked at lying...so yeah, she just never tried it...not to mention she saw no point in it....

[jayden]

Jayden nodded, looking at dioscuri, so much heartbreak in the world. so many people all alone, with no where left to go. Jayden simply smiled then, and looked back up at her, his lips parting slowly to say "I know how it is to be alone... at least you have a loving girlfriend to share your time with" he said, abnormally optimistically for himself... yup, lesbian... but in a way that made her much easier to talk to, he suddenly felt much more open. "You where quite fortunate to have those people in your life, if even for a short time, they at least gave you a lot of strength"

he almost laughed, but kept it to himself, he flicked his head to the side to try and flip the hair out of his eyes a little so that both of his seperately colored eyes could look into hers. "Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to meet some people like that" he mentioned calmly, not in a melonchaly way, but with a certain silver lining to his voice. for a moment he didn't know what to say, his hands slid up and into his pockets and he looked around for a moment. what a thought...

[Ceraphine Davis]

She smiled as she sensed him starting to open up some to her. It was nice to not feel such a void of emotions...She thrived on them after all and to be around somebody who was without or who kept them locked away.

"Yeah Gabriel and Victor were amazing people and Mischa is as well. But I miss those guys. I mean, they were big parts of my life and I dont even know what happened to them."

She sighed and shrugged as she turned and looked up at the sky for a moment. She honestly hated the sunlight due to its affects on her lightly colored eyes.....squinting lightly she would sigh and lower her head, turning back to look at him with her smile once more in place upon her lips.

[jayden]

jayden listened calmly to her, it was a nice day, the soft breeze, the sunlight, it was easy to lose yourself in a cloud of thought. Jayden kept his eyes softly affixed to her, she began talking again, naming the people that helped her... sounded like nice pe-

wait did she say Victor?

but that could be... any... yeah... it could be any Victor... I mean she's from...

wait... what if...

Jayden swallowed and looked around, his face turning slightly uncomfortable as he took a deep breath. "Sounds like nice people...uhh... if you don't mind me asking... one of them sounded kind of familiar, umm... do you mind me asking what Victor's last name is?" Jayden asked, obviously not happy with what could even be a possible answer, he didn't even like most people named Victor who where not his brother...

dio could sense his intensity, purring lightly and brushing up against him, his big blue eyes looking up, clouded with worry.

[Ceraphine Davis]

It was not like she was without her own gift, and the instant the mood around them shifted, her icy hues looked at him a bit suspiciously and her slender brow perked.

Then he asked about Victor....and though he said that the name sounded familiar, she was not sure if it was a good thing or not....

Hesitantly she would start to speak though it was clear she was not very comfortable saying this at the current time...

"Victor D'Armond"

She states simply though she kept her eyes fixed on him...Narrowing slightly with suspicion.

"Why?"

[jayden]

Jayden heard his name and simply froze, his mouth went into a thin line... Victor, of course, the white knight in shining armor that would help all people become better people except him. and why wouldn't Victor spend any time helping him? oh thats right, DAD TOLD HIM TO TREAT ME LIKE SHIT, oh and of course VICTOR ENJOYS IT CAUSE HE'S A DOUCHE WHO CARES ABOUT EVERYONE BUT HIS BROTHER....

Jayden took a deep breath, and he felt a tear well up in his silver-blue eye, he had probably slept with this girl too at some point, just like how he...

well... anyway.

Jayden knew he was awful at hiding his emotions, but he also didn't think any explanation was necessary. "I just wanted to know... he's someone I know quite well, just wanted to see if it was coincidence or fate" Jayden mused calmly, though now he turned away from her, he would not let anyone see him cry. he had more questions of course. how well did you know him? did you sleep with him? was it as amazing as all the other girls who did him? do you know about the other girls?

Jayden just sneered, stupid punk brother of his...

of course the worst part was Jayden was now battling with himself of being a nice person and bringing her to him, or keeping her away, maybe protecting her feelings from his lack thereof, or just not talking about it, probably the meanest thing he could do, so many options

his wrist came up, wiped away his tears, and he turned back to her, a stone face set in place which showed no emotion.

[Ceraphine Davis]

She raised her brow all the more as a flood of emotions assaulted her...yet he knew Victor...but it was not in a good way, she could tell that.

Then he turned away after speaking and she felt the pain....Pain? Associated with Victor? Okay so she had her own she kept buried within her heart....but yeah......This was something different....

Victor had hurt this guy....that was clear...but she could not be sure how....it was all very confusing.

"Ah, well.....how well do you know him? I mean...I can see that you are not too overly fond of him...."

Perhaps she had not seen that side of Victor that could hurt people? Perhaps he was cold inside and just put up a good front? No...she did not think so. She was far from an idiot and when he had held her and he had spoken to her...she knew he had meant and felt each word........Yet she felt bad, having upset Jayden....just so curious as to why......

[jayden]

Jayden sighed, his sneer almost seemed like it was permenantly markered on his face, great here come questions, pity at best, no one actually cared about him, and he did not want to be pitied. he hatd being pitied, like how his brother treated him. but then who knew what was going on in Victor's brain, that lucky little fuck was a genius... Jayden shut his eyes tightly, of course he gets all the good luck. Dad's favorite, sexy playboy, incredible performer and guitarist, already signed and probably going to be a huge rockstar soon. Jayden could just punch something right now... or slam his head into something.

His sneer faded, he had to at least act nicely toward this person, even if she was friends with Victor, she apperantly had never been told anything about Jayden... which was curious, usually Victor completely made everyone hate Jayden before they even meet him.

"I..." Jayden began, he really didn't know what to say... should he tell her, that they where brothers and that Jayden was tormented all through his childhood by his much more athletically gifted brother? or maybe leave that part out... yes

yes, it was time to be the bigger man, save Victor's good name. He might thank him for it later, who knows.

"I umm... he is..." Jayden started, and then just shook his head, his fists balling up his head finally lowered dramatically, his dark hair flowing over his eyes, obscuring his face as it lowered to the ground.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself" he said in a perfect monotone, his right hand coming up to shake

the words burnt, he hated that last name, he hated being associated with that family, and every time it made his heart feel completely numb

"My name is Jayden D'armond"

[Ceraphine Davis]

She shook his hand and then as he spoke his name her eyes widened a bit.....He was related to Victor....then it all hit her, the familiar look of him, the emotions, everything came together...

"You are his brother?"

She raised her brow...Gah! How did she not catch onto the looks the features sooner.....But still his brother....And sadly enough, her emotions hit with a sense of longing...and it filled the air around her. Fucking bracelet...But yeah she tried to play it off. Not everyone was able to be take in her emotions and she assumed he would be one of those that could not.

"H..How is he?"

She asked...all the while trying to conceal her emotions in her voice...She honestly had not thought to run into anyone who knew Victor let alone his family. Kinda the thing with Gabriel...Just yeah..had given up on that happening or ever finding them again...Which was painful...and pain mixed in the air with the longing....Gah major flaw of the bracelet..she could not hide her own emotions when she wore it. Fuck!

Pulling her hand back, she tucked her hair behind her ear....still wondering why he had such a dislike for Victor....Was Victor really that bad in person?

It was all very curious.

[jayden]

Jayden simply nodded at her obvious statement, yes they where brothers. of course, he was quite upset now. her emotions where ever so clear... this was another of the many women Victor had slept with, almost certainly, and whom he intended to break their heart as he did with all women at one point or another. the little bastard had no respect for anything with boobs. of course it was not Jayden's place to tell her about that.

"He is... good, I guess... he spends most of his time out of the house... ever since he came back from his first north america tour he's been kinda... distant from everybody" Jayden explained. even though he didn't like Victor, and even though Victor tormented him, he had never been as distant or unreachable as he was now... it was a strange blessing, and Jayden certainly didn't mind that Victor was never home.

"Honestly... I don't really try to keep track of what he does... it'd be difficult" he said, almost laughing, the thought of anyone being able to keep a complete log of the ever wild and crazy victor... it seemed impossible to him.
