Let The Sparks Fly ( PILLARS MEETING )

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala was the fist to arrive, or at least she thought so...undoubtedly Kazuya was lurking behind some tree somewhere....Sneaky bastard.....But yeah either way she was now in her favorite spot...laid out, in the courtyard, on one of the stone tables and her sunglasses covered eyes were cast up the the sky.

Both hands behind her head, she let out a soft sigh, hoping like hell this all went smoothly.....She had another to introduce, the newest member.....still had to get the first two to meet....Yeah three men, one very calm and collected all the time, one......well.....like her....and one who she felt the urge to smack upside the head almost every time she was near him......

"Don't let them fight....I know they more than likely will...But yeah try and not let Jack kill Guy...."

She thought this over, dressed in a black halter top and a pair of jean shorts....Rather comfy for today, seeing as how she had hoped it would be an easy enough meeting....Just get everyone on the same page, make sure that all was well, and make sure they could function as a unit.

Not to mention she was going to set up a training schedule for each week. Knowing that they all needed it, despite all their......MOST of their advantages........If they got lazy then they would become weaker to those who did train regularly......

As her tongue brushed over her lips, her black hair fanning out about her, she thought over the memories which had echoed in her mind since she broke up with Mischa, which had not been so very long ago......

That night she had gone to the shitty part of town, found herself some low life dealer and destroyed his soul before finally killing him......It had been enough to hold back the part of her that wanted to kill, but it was getting worse once more......

She knew she had to hold it back though, for now......Could not show her pillars there was anything wrong....Hence the shades even when the day was dark with the potential of a storm sooner than later.......

She was keeping herself at bay....Rather hard but needed...At least in this moment......

Now it was just a matter of waiting, hoping they would all get their asses in gear and get here on time...She had told them all to meet her here after school....So yeah......Chop chop boys....

[Kazuya Hikari]

"..." Kazuya stepped out from behind a tree, without a single word, almost out nowhere it seemed. In actuality, he had not been the first to arrive, in fact, he had arrived about the same time Kevala had, but did not see her, having come from the opposite direction, and decided to wait for a little while. His hands in his pockets, Kazuya's hawk eyes peered at Kevala from behind his black hair, making it appear he was glaring at her, when in fact, he wasn't, at all. This would be the first time he'd meet the other two Pillars, and likewise, it would be the same for them. As always, he was dressed in his black track pants, but instead of the black overcoat and plain t-shirt he normally wore, today he was wearing just the t-shirt.

Walking towards Kevala, he stopped in front of the table, unlike most people, why she was wearing a pair of sunglasses when it clearly looked like it was going to rain, and heavy at that, with dark gray clouds looming up above them, was of no concern to him, nor was he curious to ask why. Pulling his hands out of his pockets, Kazuya folded his arms lightly across his chest, as he continued to stand wordlessly in front of the School Captain, who was currently lounging on top of one of the stone tables, the low rumble of thunder heard far off in the distance. "..."

[Jack]

OOC: Jack wins ^^

IC:

Jack walked through the school yard, checking his phone to make sure he had the right time and place of the pillar meeting. While Jack was the smartest of people he had years of experience on his side. He would have picked a place a little more concealed yet, a courtyard had it's advantages, it was an open space which meant if need be they could have multiple escape routes, this also meant that enemies could come from multiple locations.

Putting the thought out of his mind Jack strolled out of the hallways and down the steps. The sound of his wooden soles as they hit the concrete amused him on one level. He wore everything that he normally would wear, dress pants, dress whit, black leather shoes, and his usual tie which was as always never done up. His laptop bag slung over his right shoulder, his varsity jacket looped through a handle.

"Hey Kevala"

Jack would call as he walked to the couple. Turning to Kazuya Jack would out stretch his hand.

"I'm Jack O'Connor"


OOC: Sorry so short I was in a rush.

[Guy Nottingham]

Late?

Of course, what would the party be if not for a late entry let alone the late entry being the spontaneous ball of energy that no doubt brightened up the little group they had there. Of course Guy knew two of them by this point Kevala he knew to be School Captain through random gossip and of course a healthy beating. Jack he knew to be a track sprinter little to nothing more, and the Asian guy with faded grey hair nothing on that bloke.

Guy's shifty glance leaving the school's hallway back and forth from behind a trash bin. Locating the center of the group first, Kevala circled closely by the pair of boys, each dwarfing her naturally though the concern of which was the strongest? Guy would naturally assume Jack due to his height. He could probably imagine the Asian guy was next in line based on his street standards. Whenever you were in line it was wise to avoid the bog kids 'cuz they always threw about their weight and often broke things. To say Kevala was weak was of course a mistake on his part. Obviously in this school strength meant more than simply size. He lit up smiling and knowing that despite his own lanky size it meant he could still achieve such deeds as these students or maybe worse off blunder his way through life.

His gaze dastardly shifted to the garbage bin. Cleverness came in many sizes. Climbing his way into the bin Guy would punch holes through the bottom and arm spaces making room for his large size to squat in virtually making him smaller but more defensible should she ask her cohorts to beat him up as a joke. Of course being him guy was all too trusting, this was just a flashy show of his skill sets. Creativity and stealth. Slinking past them in the trash bin he'd wrap a thick layer of foliage around the bin and would peer his head out of the top narrowly enough to still be concealed as the armored gille tank approached.

"You can't see me.....you can't see me, you can't, can't, can't, can't," Guy's whispers barely audible past the bin as he stealthily approached across the courtyard in plain sight..... but "Stealth"

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala laid there, not really moving much as Kazuya appeared out of nowhere...again.....A nod of her head was all along with a brief greeting.

"Kazuya....I hope you are well."

Just then Jack came walking over, that getting her head to turn as she grinned and nodded in response to his greeting.

"Hey there tiger...."

That teasing tone held in her voice as she brushed her tongue over her lips....But she was being good...For now.....Eyes catching sight of somebody...er...something..moving....

She watched, though honestly she was unsure what the hell she was watching......

Then it clicked.....

Guy...........

With a little grin, she shifted and put her feet down onto the bench, her hands pushing against the table to help her rise and stand. This way she was more likely to be closer to Jack's eye level.

Motioning with her finger in a come here fashion, she smiled with that little spark in her eyes, hoping he would move a bit closer.....

If he did, she would lean in, wrapping her arms about his neck as she brushed her lips against his ear.

"It appears our new school news letter editor is being a bit........shy....."

She pointed to the lame excuse for camo......A little giggle, light and breathless released against Jack's ear......

She couldnt help it. The instant he came around her inner demon wanted to play. Damnit!

Pulling back she hopped down off of the bench and moved toward the "trash can" as her arms crossed over her chest......Finally she moved around behind it, aimed it toward where the others were and then kicked.......

"Come on out and play Guy. I want my report on what you have planned for the paper this week. Besides, you need to learn to play nice with others...."

If she managed to get his ass rolled or thrown or whatever over there, she would return to the group, crawling back up onto the table like some lazy little cat and sitting down.

"So, who wants to go first?"

[Kazuya Hikari]

"..." Kazuya nodded his head slightly, not only to acknowledge Kevala, but answer her question as well. The sound of footsteps made Kazuya turn his head slightly to look behind him, as the guy that had sat beside Kevala in the Mythology class came up to the both of them and turned to Kazuya, his hand outstretched, as Kazuya shook Jack's hand. "... Kazuya Hikari." Ignoring, well, better to say, not really caring, the teasing tone in Kevala's voice, Kazuya folded his arms once more, as the sound of rustling caught his attention. What the hell...? It seemed Kevala knew something he didn't, as she stood up on the bench and motioned to Jack, as Kazuya kept to himself, not even her wrapping her arms around his neck made him care any more than he already did about what she had in mind and planned. Noticing Kevala point at something, his gaze shifted in the direction she was pointing. ... You have got to be shitting me... That was the most lame ass attempt at camouflage he had ever seen.

If this guy was trying to sneak up on them, he failed already. He watched from the corner of his eye as Kevala pulled back from Jack before hopping off the table and headed towards the "trash bin," making her way behind it, facing in the direction he and Jack were standing at, before delivering a swift kick to the bin. That... was going to hurt. If the bin ended up rolling, Kazuya would lift his foot up and stop the bin with his foot, his arms still crossed across his chest. If not, he would just watch the bin go flying before landing nearby, as Kevala came back and crawled back up on her perch on the table. "... Apparently, it's not just our names that are known around here..." This was something Kazuya already knew, quite well in fact, but he wasn't sure if Jack or the other Pillar knew this. If they didn't, well, they would now.

[Jack]

"Hey there tiger...."

Jack flashed Kevala a small sinister grin. The mention of tiger made his neck and back ache, nearly itch as his mind drifted back to their little play date.

"... Kazuya Hikari."

Jack nodded his head in a respectful matter, looking down at the boy who was a good half a foot shorter then him. Jack's eyes drifted over to Kevala, tilting his head to the side slightly as he looked at her. The smirk returned to his face. She stood up and motioned for him to come closer to her, he chuckled to himself as she stood on the bench to make up the difference in their height, only just making it. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and his hands found her curvy waist. She leaned in and whispered gently into his ear, teasing him even when the topic had nothing to do with him. She would always tease him... bitch...(I KID!)

"It appears our new school news letter editor is being a bit........shy....."

"My, my kitten, I know you're always eager to play, but in front of such company couldn't you wait until we went somewhere a little more private?"

Jack chuckled, he spoke in a soft voice, however the lust was there. Whether or not Kazuya heard was not his concern. He was sure that the Student Body President was in his position because of his keen senses and his ability to analyze situations extremely quickly. Kevala pointed to something behind him, thus he couldn't see what ever it was it got the kitten all worked up. She hopped off the bench using his neck to lower her town. Jack didn't say anything at the time, but he would have to get Kevala into the gym to loose a few pounds. A man's neck can only take so much.

As she galloped past him Jack would turn around, placing his arms in his pocket he would stand next to Kazuya and look on ahead as she pranced toward the trash can.

"Come on out and play Guy. I want my report on what you have planned for the paper this week. Besides, you need to learn to play nice with others...."

"You know Kazuya, I don't know what more retarded. The fact that he just tried to sneak up on us or the fact that she picked him to be your little under study"

with that Jack would turn to Kazuya.

"Good luck"

As Kazuya stopped the bin jack would raise his right leg up into the air and bring it down on top of the bin, and repeating it a few times.

"It seems, some dip shit tried to sneak up on us.."

Jack would say matching every second word with a kick. Each kick was hard enough to send an echo through the bin, denting it slightly.

[Guy Nottingham]

"Come on out and play Guy. I want my report on what you have planned for the paper this week. Besides, you need to learn to play nice with others...."

The kick to his rump sent Guy forward falling over himself as his "armor" became a death trap falling into a roll with the shape of the bin spinning round till he was sick to his stomach until the stop caught him. Mumbles outside severely incoherent from where he was so he merely shook his head in confusion.

*Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Crunch!*

His armor crunching in like a child folding the rapper on a candy bar slowly popping the top off the bin revealing a messy Student Newsletter covered in what could be a mix of grime, shriveled paper, and grass.

"Hola mes amigos!" He'd say in a jovial fashion still pined by both Jack's foot buried in the indented bin and the metal itself now folded to the contours of his body.


"A lil' help if you would I'm a bit.....yeah pinned" The boyish grin all to eager to get to talking with these people.

[Ceraphine Davis]

As Kevala remained seated upon the table, she giggled softly to the way they seemed to be getting along. Well, Jack had not killed Guy so that was always a good thing, and as for Kazuya ...yeah she didnt really worry bout him not getting along with anyone...

He just didnt really care either way.......

"Now Guy, since you are done with your little camo experiment, how about you tell me what you have in mind for the paper this week."

She put him on the spot first, because he was the one of the three that had the most to prove. Jack was perfect for his position, as was Kazuya for his....It was Guy she was unsure of, and well.....if he fucked up, she would kick his ass until he couldnt get up.......

Her fingers twisting about a lock of her hair as she sat there like the evil little kitty she was turning into.

[Kazuya Hikari]

"... Tch. As long as he doesn't annoy me, he can run around playing commando all he wants, it isn't my problem if he ends having his ass handed to him on a silver plate." Kazuya replied, as he saw Jack turn to him. "... With Guy's brains, we're all going to need the luck." Lifting his foot up as the bin rolled towards them, Kazuya stopped the bin in its tracks while Jack lifted his own right foot up and proceeded to place a few dents in the bin, matching every second word with a stomp. If Guy's brains weren't rattled enough from the rolling, this would certainly do it, and probably make his ears ring. The top of the bin popped off, revealing Guy covered in grime, bits of paper, and grass. "..." For a guy who just got a one way ticket to dizzyville and pinned inside a trash bin, courtesy of Jack's kicks, he sounded pretty happy.

"... I think that's enough for today Jack. If you crush him any more inside the bin, we're going to need a new Head of School Newsletter, and it'd be pain not just for Kevala, but us too." Kazuya said stoically, reaching down and pulling the trash bin up before setting Guy down on his feet if Jack removed his foot. He'd then pull out his bokken that was constantly strapped to his waist, and in a slashing motion, would vertically bisect the trash bin in half like it was made of paper instead of metal, as the two halves fell to each side, before putting his bokken away and folding his arms across his chest lightly once more, as he took a spot on the right side of Kevala, like he was a palace guard of the Empress i.e. Kevala, instead of a Pillar.

[Guy Nottingham]

Kazuya pulled off a flashy move to exfoliate Guy from his self-built prison was pretty cool. The wide stupid grin as he pulled himself out only to be met with the group shifting back into ranks like this was some Nazi regime of sorts. Regardless he look on with awe at the organization of it somewhat wanting to a.) Join in and look cool or b.) Dash it so miserably he made them out to look like fools. Neither solution was 'him' per say rather he'd just be himself the awkward extension of the cool kids.

"Now Guy, since you are done with your little camo experiment, how about you tell me what you have in mind for the paper this week."

A wide grin as he raked his brains for an appealing remark of what to say, quite honestly he'd not put too much thought into it, part of him suspected that he was in fact just joining like a club, a club with mighty awesome cool kids. A bit naive it'd seem but what mattered more in high school more than popularity?

"Uhm well you see...." His finger rose to his lips as his eyes drifted into the back of his skull looking for the solution, "Propaganda and Misdirection!" He said with an all too wide grin as though they were supposed to pick up on his phrase without any question. After all there had to be one of the group that wasn't a meat head.... that and Guy was kinda BSing at this point.

[Jack]

"... I think that's enough for today Jack. If you crush him any more inside the bin, we're going to need a new Head of School Newsletter, and it'd be pain not just for Kevala, but us too

"Tch.. if you say so Kazuya.. this is so bothersome. Why him Kitten? He doesn't look strong, and from his performance on the track and field he's not exceptionally fast or exceptionally strong. Judging by his manner and cammo, he's not even smarter then me (*points to 5 int*). So why did you choose him?"

Jack would stare at the boy, his eyes glazing over him again. Jack didn't know what to do. He sighed, sitting down on the table, he could feel Kevala's breath on his neck. He just wanted to leave now, already having lost interest in the meeting. He had met Kazuya who was quiet and collect, in other words no fun unless he snapped and then he was just scary. People like Kazuya were always the crazy ones, the seedy one in the group, well dressed and presentable and when shit goes down he's the one going around stabbing people in the back. The good thing about people like Kazuya is that they always won.

"Uhm well you see...."

Jack's eyes narrowed in on Guy, borrowing deep down into him.

"Propaganda and Misdirection!"


"Oh and what part of the student body does this target? Those who want reform? Those who conspire against the school? What?

It may not be my place, but I would have guessed your role was to assist the Student Body President's goal of keeping peace and order in the student body by acting as their representatives. You assist the President by giving news to the Student Body about our works and how we're going as well as interesting information or anything in particular that they wanted.

Therefore If they want to know about Propaganda and Misdirection then that's some pretty serious shit. I believe I would have been informed by the Captain who would have been informed by the student body president. So unless you're saying that Kazuya here is not doing his job and that he;s failed to mention that the whole student body is involved in some propaganda scheme then what the fuck are you planning on writing about that has relevance to our jobs?"

[Ceraphine Davis]

Kevala shook her head as Jack pretty much laid into the guy, a little grin curling on her lips as she slowly crawled from the table, to the bench and then rose to stand upon the ground....Slowly making her way to stand in front of Jack and look up at him..That innocent little smile on her face......

"Because Tiger...I dont need somebody strong, or fast to write..I need somebody inventive and who will cause a bit of a stir among the rats..."

She then spun around, her back pressing up against Jack as she looked at Guy, a glance cast to Kazuya and as always an appreciative nod offered. She had to admit, her first two choices were amazing....The last............Not so much...

"Listen Guy....This is how its gonna work. You are gonna put out a paper that is interesting, funny, and full of need to know information. Anything the students want to know, that we feel that need to know....Got it?"

Her head tilting lightly as she stared at him from behind those darkened shades. She really could care less if the little fucker made shit up, or if he told the truth..so long as she knew about it...

"So, what is it? What is the big story this week?"

[Kazuya Hikari]

Kazuya's interest in the meeting was next to nothing by this time, as he heard Jack pick Guy apart before sitting down on the bench in front of Kevala, his gaze shifting to his left as he saw her shake her head, a small grin appearing on her lips as she slowly crawled off the table onto the bench and then rising up once her feet touched the ground, as he watched her stand in front of Jack and look up at him, an innocent smile on her face... Innocent. Yeah, right. She then spun around, her back up against Jack, as Guy grinned widely, pondering or possibly stalling for time as his finger rose to his lips, before blurting out the LAST thing any student in this school would want to hear. Kazuya had to resist the urge to palm his own face, instead settling for rolling his eyes. And just when Kazuya thought Guy couldn't be any more of an idiot, not after his stunt in Mythology class, this took the cake.

His gaze shifting over once more as he fought to keep his temper in check, he saw Kevala glance over at him and give him an appreciative nod, as he nodded back slightly, his restraint on his temper close to breaking, as he heard Jack speak up, just the off-chance that Guy was saying Kazuya wasn't doing his job was enough to break Kazuya's restraint on his temper. The gloves had come off. And to further drive Kevala's point home, Kazuya charged forward and grabbed the front of Guy's shirt, before lifting him up off the ground slightly, the guy's feet barely touching the ground, as he jammed his face close to Guy's, his hawk eyes glaring fiercely and intensely as he choked Guy slightly from gripping his shirt so tightly. "... If I read anything that casts ANY of us in a negative light, or any made up bullshit... you're going to wish I didn't free you from that trash bin... Got it?" Kazuya would then promptly let go and drop Guy like a sack of potatoes, before returning back to his position beside Kevala, falling silent once more.

[Guy Nottingham]

For starters Guy was out matched, but muscles didn't solve everything in life. Yes he could care less about getting pushed around in a fight because when it came down to it, these idiots probably couldn't see the bigger picture. Something that made him smile inside. A wily grin forming on his face despite being noticeably surrounded and intentionally intimidated by the group.

And of course the "brains" of the operation spoke first, his mouth quick to judge and base his entire speech as if he were the leader. Guy wasn't one for long speeches, it was half the reason he faded out during class however a slow nod and smile in agreement. Wow he must've really gotten under Jack's skin for him to be imposing himself as anything better than a ball jockey.

"Listen Guy....This is how its gonna work. You are gonna put out a paper that is interesting, funny, and full of need to know information. Anything the students want to know, that we feel that need to know....Got it?"

Eyes tilting towards Kevala at the very least she treated him as a part of the unit, working towards a goal, sure her facade was drenched by dark wit but at the very least she'd given him the chance to succeed or fail of his own will rather than drag him along a track face down.

"So, what is it? What is the big story this week?"

Guy's mouth opening slightly with and excited grin all to ready to voice his ideal when of course Mr. Charisma in the corner with all the personality of a brick wall decided to size him up by the collar lifting him from the ground in a choking hold.

"... If I read anything that casts ANY of us in a negative light, or any made up bullshit... you're going to wish I didn't free you from that trash bin... Got it?"

"gdwjfjjfW" Guy managed to struggle slightly in his grip though assuming he'd not let up Guy settled in getting his own grip for air.

"Dude, I know its hot in that leather but keep your head on straight." Guy managed a laugh while being strangled. A quick look to Kevala though not expecting help thus far in Guy's mind she was at the very least reasonable.
