A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing of a pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness." She read, her eyebrows furrowed lightly, as she settled comfortably at the crook of the tree, disregarding the dark clouds that hovered gently about, nudging the young girl to take a pseudo form of a shelter. She took a deep breath.
"No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful." She read out loud, her fingers pressed against the pages as her breath unfold before her. She leaned her head against the rough bark of the tree, as dirty clogged her ragged fingernails.
Even then, at that moment, she was sure that she was missing something vital.

As Ira leaned her head against the tree, a tuft of red hair would casually obscure her vision. A young boy hanged from a tree branch directly above her, legs tightly wrapped around it as his body dangled upside-down. The lanky teen reached out for the girl's book, taking it from her hands and turning it so that he might be able to read it more easily. The subject material intrigued him, and despite not knowing the owner of the book itself, he found an indefatigable urge to just peer into the depths of the pages.
"Pleasure, huh?" he asked sagaciously, before continuing to flip through the pages without a care in the world. The girl's spot would be lost, and all Macht cared about was that one word.
Pleasure.

Her voice thinned with fumes of annoyance and curiosity as she regarded the crimson tuft of hair flopping into her eyes. Scrunching her face up, she pushed the head obstructing her view, but barely had time to protest as her book was swallowed up by his grip. "Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure." She recited. "The theory of pleasure is a simple one." She finally broke out of her trance, as she dispassionately reached a hand out for him to allow the book to fall back into the rightful palm. "I suppose you haven't have much of it." She said after a while, watching his filthy hands thumb her ragged book. Her eyes flicked over his face, and came to pauses, either on his slightly torn clothes, or disheveled hair. Pausing her glance, she reached over to dip a hand into the woven basket next to her, for a scarlet strawberry. Finally, Ira bit into it while disregarding him, and berry juices stained her lips, as sourness danced on her tongue. "Well?" She looked at him expectantly, a juxtaposition of light curiosity and irritation.

An incoherent grunt could be heard as the girl pushed Macht's head slightly as he grumbled under his breath. He paid little attention to her while she recited the lines she read aloud a moment ago, only fixing his eyes on her when she mentioned pleasure being a simple theory. He brought the book up and closer to his waist, his green eye trailing along her body from her fingertip to her shoulder. Head tilting further and further back until he gazed upon her face, Macht simply watched as she took her juicy bite out of that strawberry. To say his mouth watered would be an understatement.
The girl's request would go without notice, as Macht calmly reached out to take the strawberry just as it would pass from the girl's lips, using his own. He leaned back, hovering dangerously close her and chewing on that morsel like it was the single greatest thing he'd ever eaten. Macht followed this up with a wink for dramatic effect, before he promptly lost his grip and fell out of the tree face-first into her lap.

Shifting backwards slowly, she cast her darkened eyes on the tufts of red hair brushing against her thigh. A scowl drew a few downwards line on her pale face, and while a strand of hair flew loose and brushed against her cheek, her line of sight did not waver.
There were still berry stains on her fingers.
Examining those stains rather distastefully, she shoved the male off her lap, and threw a few glances of irritation his way, before reaching out for her book. There wasn't really a point gracing him with a speech.

The push had Macht falling right off the girl's lap and onto the grass beside her. He laughed as his knees his the ground, and for a moment his vision was almost entirely obscured by her skin. It was soft, and the fact that it was soft almost made him want to joke about it being hairy.
"Bah," Macht started as he tossed the girl her book and landed square on his ass. He quickly shifted into a more comfortable position, sitting cross-legged in front of her. "Read to me."

Disgruntled, she snatched the book from the toss in mid-air, and flipped through a few pages rather harshly as though the print had personally wronged her. Even so, her eyes finally softened when she came to rest to the spot before she was disrupted by that impertinent adolescent. Her voice softened, in adjacent to her glance, albeit grudgingly so.
"To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?" She finally spoke, her finger running down the spine of the book lightly.

Macht just nodded along as the girl kept reading, adopting this facade of someone who pretends to understand. In reality, he did, but no one ever expected him to - at this point, he's just learned to roll with it, so fuck it. He tilted his head at the end of the paragraph, her pause indicating to him that she was either breaking or waiting for him to offer commentary in some shape or form.
"Isn't that common sense?" He shrugs, ripping up some grass and throwing it at the girl's legs. "We do things because they're beneficial to us, right? Duh."

Frowning at him, her face displayed that she was evidently displeased by his insolence. He was missing the bigger picture here, and she wasn't sure if she genuinely wanted to snatch some time to explain things thoroughly him.
'The whole concept behind pleasure here is the fact that we denounced people for receiving instant gratification. We delude ourselves into believing that everything is ultimately democratic, and hence, turned a blind eye to the fact that there are aspects of life we can't alter, despite the immense amount of work placed into it." She said rather coldly.

"Yeah, but I didn't get that from the small portion you just read to me. There's a whole concept, sure, but that excerpt was more of a snippet of a concept anyway."
Macht continued feigning some sort of ignorance because it pleased him to do so. The girl's reaction was entertaining, and knowing he could likely repeat it was something that would bring a grin to his face, were he not making an attempt to stay in character at the moment. So he just kept his head tilted and he continued throwing grass on her legs for the moment.
"But that is true. It falls under more than just 'pleasure' though, y'know?"[/div

Her scowl deepened on her face, but her lips finally displayed a small amount of teeth biting down on the lower lip, as she deliberated between snatching up the grass and forcing that obscene ignoramus to chew on them, and leaving the scene of irritation, to void further exchanges.
Unfortunately, she choice the former, under the impression that she never did attempt the futile mission of throwing a wise facade on for the world.
"No, it themes with the concept of pleasure, for people are genuinely accustomed to the idea that they could attain anything as long as they are willing to enter hours of toil for it. With that in mind, they denounce those who seek instant gratification, and void hard work in favor for immediate luxury. There will always be luxury, and due to that, it's not impossible to constantly seek instant pleasure, as long as you are willing to, perhaps sacrifice your future luxuries for it. In other words, instant vs delayed gratification."
She thought for a moment.
'I'm sure the protestants will have things to say about this." She muttered under her breath.

"HAH!" Macht couldn't resist, and ended up laughing as loudly as he could at the line about the protestants. He waved it off dismissively, however, almost immediately readopting his ignoramus persona. Unfortunately for the girl here, he loved egging people on like this, because it made those who chose to stay voice their passions aloud. Well, mostly because they probably just thought Macht was an idiot, but still.
"Right. So, help me out here, then - which is which. Say I want to go out with you; either I kiss you now and make my moves very obvious, or I could be subtle, and attentive, and respond intelligently enough to make you swoon. But I don't know if the pleasure is worth the hours of toil, in the end."

Eying his filthy demeanor, coupled with his mouth that seemed to possess the talent of verbalizing uncouth words that most damsels would giggle at, her expression didn't change. Quite foolishly so, she decided, while gazing into his green eyes.
"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain." She quoted sarcastically.
"However," she continued, "These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammeled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."

Macht just nodded, noting the girl avoided his question as she did. It made him smirk, and casually he allowed his hands to fall to the girl's ankles. He wanted that first paragraph to seem very, very situationally accurate, and so his fingers lightly trailed along her skin. Macht was playing the role of the man beguiled by the charm of pleasure with no foresight - in this equation, he wanted the girl to fall into the roll of the one with weak will. Or, rather, he wanted it to seem like that was his desire.
"It's like if a guy's girlfriend says "no masturbation for a week, and we get to bang for three days straight." That's a good example - reject a small pleasure for a greater one later on. I like this book."

She proceeded to slam her book down on his wrist, her eyes glinting in mischievous light, as she remained determined to squander the remaining time of the day by showing him a blatant example of excruciating agony. He wasn't about to escape her grasp, as much as she longed for him to leave her alone.
"But it doesn't like you." She retorted.
