In The Next Life (Me, Wormy and Were!)

[Moonlit Dream]

"Thanks, Chimere..." Alex mumbled weakly, grateful that he at least hadn't been out cold for long. With a bleary frown, Alex felt his mind going back to the daydream. What had that girl refferred to him as? ...Kurou? Alex swallowed. What was happening to him? Looking up at Chimere, he frowned slightly at her, but there was a playful smirk on his face. "I don't have necrolepsy or whatever it is! It's just... The school!" he said indignantly.

Alex stared at the teacher cluelessly as he suggested that he and Chimere were flirting, shivering at the man's evil gaze, blonde hair beginning to stand on end. Of all the times when he'd been told off for that, this was one of the one times when he actually wasn't, at least to an extent, and he wondered what that teacher's problem was. Drawing out a sheet of lined paper and a pen from his schoolbag, Alex put pen to paper and obediently began to write.
"My name is Alex Josh Tsuki, and I may or may not have necrolepsy narcolepsy." he added that last bit with a sideways glance at Chimere, but then ended up scribbling the whole sentence out. He didn't really trust the teacher.
"I am fourteen years old, and was born or adopted on the 5'th of September, and I have three rabbits named Ditzy, Dolly and Dude. Some people think I'm gay, but I assure you that I am 100% straight. My favourite colour is pink. I'm adopted, my parents took me into their care when I was three when they found me dying in the wreckage of a building." Alex paused, sucking on the end of his pencil as he tried to think of something else to write. Alex decided that he didn't really want anyone to know that he was adopted as he scribbled that piece out again, muttering under his breath, then added something onto the end so that his page didn't look too empty. "I do judo."

((Nny: *grumbles*))

The second Lovecraft bored his eyes into Javed, Cerberus whined and covered his eyes with his paws. Javed kicked him in the gut and kept the teacher's gaze. He liked to think he was made of stronger stuff, and he was, as long as the "weaker" side was a different creature. He didn't respond.

Javed took out a paper and a red pen. He hated that teacher. Well, any teacher could be broken, theoretically. He could still break this one. Javed grinned and started writing in the Daedric language. Lovecraft never said what language to use, so why not take advantage of that?

"My name is Javed, and my dog is Cerberus. We were born on the first of Morning Star, which you call January. My parents think I am the Anti-Christ. If you bug me any further, I will feed you to Cerberus." He wrote.

((Me: Aww, did I upset the little homicidal maniac? *is grinning*))

Smiling slightly at Alex as she caught his whispered hiss, Chimere pulled a black spiral-bound notebook and a pencil out of her bag, opening up to a fresh page in the book with the faint rustling of lined paper. Growling softly with frustration as she realized that she really didn't want to tell this teacher anything, she didn't realize the warning signs usually associated with her switching minds, her eyes flashing brighter in the darkness, now undeniably glowing.
Putting pencil to paper, she started writing a few things about herself on the paper, just as the teacher had said. However, much like Javed, the language she used was not a language of her current world; she wrote in the runes of the Elder Gods, the glyphs standing out strongly against the paper, reflecting in her glowing eyes. Somehow, the air around her seemed to be growing darker, as if the shadows of the room were being drawn towards her....

Meanwhile, Professor Lovecraft was walking around the room, making sure that everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing. Walking past Javed, he smiled slightly, his thin-lipped smile strangely terrifying, like looking into the gaze of some eldritch predatory reptile. "Interesting language to choose to write in, Clavicus," he said softly, his tone like liquid velvet. "Although, it makes sense, considering who you are...."

[Moonlit Dream]

Looking around vaguely as he wondered what else to write, Alex absentmindedly tried to scribble out further the parts of his sheet that he didn't want anyone to read. Looking around, he noticed that some of the others had chosen to write in strange languages, languages that Alex couldn't understand. Frowning, he looked down at his sheet of paper and turned it over, rewriting the parts that he didn't cross out in some form of runes that Alex, as strange as it was, had always known and scribbled as a child when he was bored. Flicking over his writing again, Alex seemed satisfied and smirked a little, not even thinking that the teacher needed just to turn over the sheet to see just what Alex didn't want him to. Looking up at Chimere, Alex gave a startled squeak and clapped a hand to his mouth as he saw the darkness gathering around her, her eyes points of red light in the blackness surrounding her. His blue eyes widened, and he lifted a hand to rub his eyes to see if he was hallucinating, or just had something in his eye. He looked around briskly, and turned his attention to the teacher in a hope to distract himself, blue eyes wide at first, on Alex's terms at least, but then they quickly went back to their normal state of looking almost-closed and Alex's face broke into a grin again as his optimism returned. What had he been worrying about? Probably just this classroom's atmosphere...

((Nny: LITTLE!? *pounces* I am 5'9"! That's AVERAGE!))

Javed leaned over his desk, keeping his head down. He stared at what he had written while Cerberus' eyes followed the teacher around the room, nudging his masters leg when Lovecraft came close. Javed started another sentence just as Cerberus headbutted his leg, and he looked up right into the eyes of that disturbing man. He nearly cringed as just how close this...thing was. Lovecraft was not a mortal, not at all. He had the same aura, if not darker, than Chimere's. The very smell drove Cerberus into a drooling fury, just begging for his master to give the order and taste this alien's flesh.

"I told you, don't call me that. My name is Javed." Javed said softly and kicked Cerberus to get the dog to stop. He couldn't kill the teacher now. Maybe later, he thought, when it was possible to get away with it. Not now.

((Me: *stands at about 6' at the head, holding her head level* *rears onto my hind legs, balancing like a kangaroo* You were saying, Johnny?))

"Oh? Are we afraid of our own name now, boy?" Lovecraft whispered, his voice as deadly and as soft as a cobra's poison. "Pity. I thought you were made of stronger stuff; it seems I was wrong." Walking away from Javed as if the boy and his dog no longer mattered to him, he stood in front of Alex's desk, smiling slightly as he saw the language written there. "Oh, another rather uncommon language, to be sure..." he murmured, seeming less annoyed with Alex than with Javed. "Moon Tribe runes.... Highly uncommon... What an interesting class.... Daedra, and Moon Tribers..."

[Moonlit Dream]

((Me: *looks, quite simply, terrified*))

Alex watched the teacher in slight interest as he taunted the other boy, and felt a slight satisfaction in his gut. Returning his gaze to the paper and pretending to write more of his work in case the teacher wasn't pleased with him, Alex looked up after a few seconds, confused, at the teacher as he spoke, mouth open a little. "What do you mean, Moon Tribe runes?" he paused, swallowing. "Woah, woah, woah; hang on a second, what do you mean, like, 'Moon Tribers'? I don't even know what that is! At least, I don't think I do..." He scratched his head, looking bewildered. But somewhere, deep within Alex, he recognized those words... Why and how, he didn't know, but they seemed strangely familiar...

[Wormgod]

((Nny: Stop ruining my moment! I'm average for a male human!))

Javed scowled. He waited for the freak to leave him alone, then turned back to his paper and Cerberus, "We're killing him." He whispered, and his dog grinned and wagged his tail, "Not now. Later, after school. Something so you can eat the evidence..."

((Failure.))

[miraphoenix]

((Me: Point taken. *stays sitting back on her haunches*))

Hearing Alex's confusion, Lovecraft smiled knowingly, as if he and he alone was privy to some immense cosmic secret. "You do. Or did," he replied cryptically, ignoring Javed's whispers of his impending death. As a teacher at this school, he had often received death threats, but here he was, still alive. Walking over so that he stood in front of Chimere, he looked over the girl's paper, and froze. "Chimere Zulimar, yes?" he asked softly, nodding silently when she looked up, confusion written all over her face. "See me after class. All three of you, stay after class. I need to speak with you."

[Moonlit Dream]

Alex looked confsedly down at his paper, and back up at Lovecraft, but he didn't respond to the rather confusing statement of the teacher. Seeing that Lovecraft was investigating Chimere's paper now, Alex looked curious as the man froze. Looking at him, Alex blinked and tilted his head as they were asked to stay back in class. "What, detention already? I wasn't even, like, hitting on you, dude!" he said, a playful humour in his voice. "Well, not that I would... You're a guy..." he mumbled a little, then scratched his head and busied himself with looking around the room, before becoming interested in what Chimere had written. As soon as he looked upon the paper he felt a little sick, and his eyes stung a little, so he turned his gaze away with a mutter of "oomph..." as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. At least they weren't bleeding... What with everything that had happened today, Alex wouldn't have been all that surprised if they were...
