Progess.
T'was a slow thing coming now a days, her original plans foiled by the persistent and resilient nature of this school setting things into a somewhat hazy rift. Lucia's old gang from her past high school had been effective to a point; nothing quite like mindless brutes to fuck up a tactful plan of slow conjunction. Just the same it was a much needed circumstance to teach the fast learning Lucia to adapt and alter things. It wasn't going to be the same as her old school it would have to be drastically different and with such she needed to change. No longer would she be the maniacal side-villain to be considered only when a mental-health report came in. Perhaps she'd need a new identity that was better suited to the environment of this place something with a bit more resolve.
Flanked by two of her close garrison Lucia would make quickly down the halls of 552 with a dapper grin on her face quick to dispense with her own perverted sense of justice. At the second floor, corner room Lucia would isolate herself with another student. Her guard would stand watch over the door as she moved about the desks to press against either wall of the room leaving a fairly narrow aisle between the two students prepped to fight.
"Okay then time to fight!" She'd say with an innocent enough giggle taking, all the while drawing a lead pipe from behind her back to strike into the poor student's shin. Some things changed while others did not.
Lucia's Stats Str: 5 | Dex: 20 | Wis: 20 | Con: 5 | Int: 23
Lucia's Guard x2 Str: 10 | Dex: 5 | Wis: 5 | Con: 5 | Int: 5

Teufel was walking to class, and trying to avoid society, when he saw a girl and two taller, older students walked past him. Curious, teufel followed them silently. What was going on? What was going to happen? A fight? Teufel wondered as he continued to follow them unnoticed.
When the group stopped, teufel had to stop suddenly, and his behind a plant, watching. The only downside to that we're the antlers permanently melded to his head. The antlers. They were pretty sharp, and gave the short boy a few extra inches,, so that was good in a fight, but hard to hide. Teufel didn't mind most of the time, but it was situations like these.
He heard a sharp bang and a crack. Time for action. Teufel walked up to the guards casually and asked innocently, but ready for a fight
"Hello misters. What's going on here?"
Teufel's stats: strength: 11 dexterity: 20 wisdom: 8 intelligence: 9 constitution: 14

*Ker-chunk*
A girlish wail leaving the boy's throat as he went down in a single blow grasping out at his shin tumbling head over heels for her. Lucia would giggle to herself silently pacing around the poor boy in silence as the dull noise of his sobbing played through. She'd circle her prey like any sort of predator looking for the opportune time to take another strike at them.
A sound breaking out from behind the doorway making her attention somewhat split as the girl raised up the lead pipe for another strike. Lucia's arm nooked back patiently lining up intent on the voices playing out about the wall before driving back down into the back of her opponent. A last solitary wail of pain coming out of him before blacking out.
---Meanwhile Outside the Door---
"Hello misters. What's going on here?"
The two large boys would avert their eyes downwards to the strange looking child. The first of the two guards standing to Teufel's right would look at him with avid concern, you could even describe the look on his face as one of confusion trying to grasp with the fact that the boy had antlers. As for the boy to the left of Teufel, his lips were veiled and his eyes studious. Their postures differed as well; the boy to the right a whole foot and a half taller than his rival and with much more body mass was hunched over seemingly encumbered by his muscles. While at the same time the boy to the left was tall, almost by a full foot in comparison to Teufel he was much lankier, the man's posture upright and tall but laid back seemingly more at ease with the intrusion.
"Ain't any the business of a fawn Heh heh heh." The big one would chuckle reaching out with his right arm to make a grab for Teufel's horns. If he didn't move to adjust for the grasp "Clay" the big man would grip his horns roughly, not enough to pull them free but enough so to jostle them against the boy's head.
"The Boss might wanna check this out big guy, bite off more than you can chew." "Bishop" would mutter moving a hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose making a step forward to size up the kid whether or not Clay would successfully grasp him. "Curious thing." His eyes fixated on the horns just like his predecessor.

This was the third time that Rei found himself taking the wrong turn within this school's hallways. The one downside of not attending classes regularly was that he had very few chances in understanding the school grounds. Most of his time was either spent in his room or observing the town in hopes of something to pass time by. It seemed that the latter would take a very long time to do given his current situation - asking for directions would be a completely valid first step. But the thought of talking and interaction with others does not cross Rei's mind too often. It was as he turned the corner of yet another hallway that he heard a wailing cry of pain - a sound that is not too out of the ordinary when one goes to PHS #552, and therefore not extravagant enough to catch Rei's attention. He continued to walk down the hallway, crossing paths with an odd boy that had some type of antlers protruding from his head, and two men who were positioned in a manner that suggested they were guarding the door for some ulterior motive. Rei knew to underestimate neither the boy nor the two guards. There is always a reason for someone to land themselves in this facility, and one should have a good grasp of that reason before involving themselves in unnecessary situations, situations that have not even peaked Rei's curiosity as of yet. He continued walking, his gaze fixated on not only the men, but the room behind them.
There was something familiar about the figure he tried to make out through the door's window. The figure was little, and the figure's hair could be noticed from as far as Rei was standing. His stare would continue to be unbroken as the little spark of interest that was needed to observe this situation was finally lit. Whoever this familiar figure was, they were either the one that yelled in pain, or the one that caused it. Rei was curious to know which side this figure stood on.

Teufel hopped back quickly before the man could grasp his antlers. 'I'm not a fawn.... are fawns female deer or baby deer?' He thought to himself. This seemed like it was going to get ugly. he got into a fighting stance, ready to fight or run, analyzing his possible opponents.
The taller, more muscular boy would be the first target. Teufel deemed him the stronger one, but he could be wrong. Maybe the other boy with the glasses was more dangurous, who knows. Teufel tried to look and sound confident, but his trembling didn't help
"I-I don't want to fight mister but if you do, here we go" he nervously said
Another boy walked past with an interesting black tattoo. He was watching them with a bored look on his face. Would he help? Or was he just here for the show
Teufel aimed and swung a high kick at the boy with glasses, bishop. If things worked out the kick would make a clean impact on bishop's hip. If it failed Teufel would hop back, but he would be open to a counter attack and probably get taken to see the "Boss", probably that little girl walkin with the two boys.

"Awww, that wasn't any fun at all..." Lucia said in a bored, demeaning tone shifting her body about to bring her attention to the door eyes fixated past the translucent panels giving her a glance to the world outside.
It would seem as though the boy's had snared someone in their grasps just now and just the same another onlooker who saw fit to peer past the obvious struggle and look onward to her. An irksome thought perked up at the back of her mind, 'don't stare too long or I'll take your eyes kid.' But on the surface the girl was all bubbly smiles casting her gaze back with daring pleasure.
"I-I don't want to fight mister but if you do, here we go"
Her attention shifting to the boy who'd just lept backwards avoiding Clay's daring grip only to speak up in a confident manner establishing just about what she'd expected was a rendition of this mess to unfold. Though the two boys seemed somewhat pressed to not involve themselves in a fight just yet as their guards were down just showing a bit of presence with their statures hulking over the doorway.
That's when the studious Bishop would catch a kick to the face, given that the boy leaned over to observe him shirking his natural advantage of height. He was for the most part unaware of the fact that he'd done anything to antagonize the boy simply making observations now got yourself kicked in the face.
Curious. A daunting privilege it was to engage in combat, Lucia hardly blemished her figure with fights and saw fit to let the rabble deal with measures like this but a part of her wanted to intercede. Perhaps this instance didn't call for violence but rather her own measure of evening the fields of combat.
Rushing forward out the door for what might only seem like a blink of an eye, the grace of Lucia's step would carry her across the chasm between them. Given her height she'd look incredible small by comparison to the monsters hulking overhead but her speed was not to be matched. Using the lead pipe she'd jab in essence whilst Teufel was mid kick, it wouldn't be a strong jab just enough to knock him off his feet and perhaps land him face first on the ground. Upon completing her strike she'd recoil tossing the pipe over her shoulder only to be caught by Clay who looked still rather dumbfounded at this point having completely missed out on the sudden struggle.
"BASTARD! I'm going to cu-" A sudden hand placed over Bishop's mouth would cease his raging tirade. The boy on all fours after the strike to his face, seemingly at this point struggling to find his glasses dashed out on the floor over by Rei.
"That's enough of that, no sense in blood spilled." At least yet. Lucia played the long game, opportunities with rare new playthings were a dime a dozen and she was rather curious about this bunch. "Hello?" She'd say with an oddly chipper voice.

Teufel was knocked to the ground by the jab, suprised at how fast the girl stepped out. He didn't even notice her move. She must've been powerful, or had a high status, as the two boys seemed to follow her commands pretty well. Teufel hopped back up quickly so he wouldn't be as vulnerable The boy with glasses seemed angry. Interesting. He had a short temper. Teufel took a note of this. This may come in handy later. The other boy seemed confused. So the boy with glasses was the brains of the pair. The boy who was watching still had a bored look. Would he get the boy's glasses which rolled over to him? .Teufel listened to the girl speak, a little unnerved by her cheerful attitude. She seemed so relaxed, like she was used to this. Like a cat playing with a mouse before eating it, or in this case, the huntress playing with a deer. No need for any blood spilt? Not for now anyway. Teufel still had his guard up, in case she or the two boys attacked him "H-hello miss....." He would nervously say. OOC: sorry bout the stat mistake, I've corrected it, I'm really enjoying this rp too Dexterity:20

The trio was interesting indeed, and to Rei's surprise, the smallest girl was the strongest one. In the blink of an eye, the stammering boy was on the ground right in front of Rei. He was barely able to keep up the speed of events. Rei seemed to underestimate the boy as well, seeing him land a clean kick right on one of the guards. They seemed anything but pleased.
"That's enough of that, no sense in blood spilled."
Rei had a hard time understanding this little girl. He was sure that he heard screams coming from the very same door that she walked out of, and by the looks of things, she was the one that caused the pain. Was it...for fun?
"Hello?"
The chipper voice was in complete contrast with the destructive force displayed. She was dangerous, but interesting on a level that Rei had yet to see in the halls of PHS. He wanted to see exactly what the source of screaming was from earlier, and to witness the scene behind the door for himself - who was the one in pain, how many were there, and how were they hurt? Rei was unsure if he would even be allowed to take a peak - the little girl and her guards were more than likely a greater force combined than Rei could amount to. And although the boy with antlers possessed a timid demeanor, he was more than capable of fending off for himself if the situation called for it. Rei knew that he would have to at least say one word to ease this situation he found himself in, and although he was not in the mood for it, as he usually isn't, he knew it was necessary. He addressed both the boy and the girl.
"....Yo."
It was the first time Rei spoke all week. His hands in his pockets, he slowly began walking towards the window of the door, stopping right in front of the two guards, both very heated. The girl still kept her happy-go-lucky composure. Rei wouldn't take it lightly. He curled his hands into fists while they were still in his pocket just in case, as he stretched his neck into the door's window to see what unfolded. He was greeted with an interesting scene; a boy passed out on the floor, a steel pipe noticeable in the distance. The girl continued to smile. Rei looked back down at her.
"....Having fun?"

"H-hello miss....."Blink...Blink... Lucia would stare innocently for a moment looking at the boy Teufel with a blank expression her eyes blatantly running him up and down but remaining rather lingering on the horns before taking another wide step forward. Based on her posture and brash way of walking you could almost assume that she hadn't taken into account the prepared status of them other compatriots here. The small girl would reach out with a hand retracting all but her index finger to poke the tip of the antlers. "Do you get AM/FM on these things?!" With a resounding amount of excitement she'd recline both hands to her cheeks and let out a high-pitched fit of giggles. To her flank the boy named Clay would simply scratch his head having missed the joke but was wearing a fake smile anyway hoisting his shoulders upright to mimic her gesture. Lucia didn't keep too much of the best company but what she lacked they certainly made up for. Meanwhile Bishop would still be at his knees crawling over across the hall in search of his glasses before finding them at the feet of Rei. "....Yo."A semi-startled expression as the boy fixated the lost article to his face and just as quick to rise to his feet putting his tall facade between Rei and Lucia. Attention redirected for a moment Lucia would teeter aside, shirking Teufel for a moment to follow Rei's eyes. With a sweet, composed little skip she'd reach inside to tint the window shades down concealing the door but not before Rei would have the chance to peek inside. Naughty little cheaters getting sneak peeks of the fun. She didn't like that sort of playing. "....Having fun?"His words would give way to a devilish little coo. Lucia's lips turning upright but forced into a pursed expression, body tilted at an angle and finger postured over her lips. "Can you keep a secret?" A hushing noise ushered between them like a whispered kiss. Giggling once again to herself Lucia would twirl about on her heel and lurch onto Clay's back pulling her tiny body over his towering bodice coming to dangle her legs over his shoulder. "I was promised fun, when someone makes a promise I intend to collect... is that not fair?"The little devil on the shoulder would smile eerily towards them both kicking her feet lavishly without a care in the world though behind the painted facade clocks ticked, pieces moved into place. The world was just a game board that went beyond what her compatriots made of it, this was all for the big game. "Would you like to play a game?" She'd voice in a loud whisper.

Teufel flinched a little when Lucia touched his antlers. He was a little afraid of her and what she could do. Am/FM? He hadn't heard that one before. Still on his guard. Teufel gave his answer.
"N-no miss, but I guess if I strung some wires up it may"
He then hopped back a little when Lucia made the sudden skip to close the windows. Her speed was incredible. She definitely was the strongest in the group. Teufel took a quick glance at rei, a little surprised by his questions. Fun....? Would his be fun? Maybe for some people...?
Then Lucia asked her question. Promises. He had so many memories of broken ones, so he took promises seriously. Like if someone owed him money, he'd wait for the day they said they'd pay up, and if they didn't, Teufel would give them a good headbutt with the antlers, probably impaling them.
Now for the next question. A game? Were those screams he had heard earlier part of her "game"? Teufel had a bad feeling whatever answer he said would lead to the same fate.
"Yes miss, promises are promises, and they should be kept. I guess I can play a game right now.." He would nervoulsly say, still on his guard

She was like a child that had been given fire to play with - innocent in her sense of destruction, and unaware of the affect it had on those she interacted with. She closed the blinds after Rei had a quick peak at the passed out body laying on the floor, letting him know that she was aware of what he saw. What she was planning on doing as a result was something that Rei could only imagine. He could defend himself to the best of his ability if need be, but the joy that this girl gets from her interpretation of "fun" could make this encounter completely unpredictable.
"Can you keep a secret?"
She whispered to him in a manner that was both joking and threatening. It was very difficult to interpret her words as she continued to play around her guards, talking to both him and the antler-boy about a game that she wanted to play. Did the game involve the same steps as the passed out boy in the other room? Rei maintained his posture, unable to turn his gaze away from the little girl. She did not seem like the type to take no for an answer.
"I guess I can play a game right now..."
The boy next to Rei already provided his answer to the girl. Although he did not sound confident in this agreement, it would be too late for him to back out now. The speech given about promises was a serious one - saying one would play this game of hers and then deciding against it would result in something similar to that of a temper tantrum, at least, that is what Rei assumed. It seemed that this was an interaction he could not back out from. Rei took his right hand out of his pocket and hunched over, picking up the glasses that were knocked off one of her security guards by the boy with antlers. With the glasses in his hand, he looked back up to the little girl on the shoulders of the other security guard. While keeping his gaze on her, he stretched his arm downwards towards Bishop with the glasses in his hand, waiting for him to take them. This was Rei's way of stating interest in this "game" of theirs, a game that he felt he had no choice but to participate in, but also a game that sparked some interest in him. He waited for the girl to clarify what "fun" she wanted to get into, keeping in mind the boy that lay on the floor in the other room. He had a tight grip on the glasses just in case someone started to swing, at least making that security guard an easier fight. Antler boy hadn't seen what was beyond that door for himself. Rei wonders if he truly knows what he just agreed to play.

Lucia would giggle, dancing away from the pair to settle atop of Clay's hulking shoulders. It was a safe perch where she could essentially reign from her towering height undaunted by any real threat and with her pair of minions to sunder any blow she was untouchable by many accords but that wasn't her ultimate goal. That was a different tale entirely. The real goal was to spread and acquire influence, this game she'd played a multitude of times before with many different lenses; fear, trust, love. Each rendition more entertaining than the last but #552 was a new sort of beast, her game plan would require a great many souls to make it any real fun.
Kicking those feet of hers in a taunting mannerism, her attention would sway between the two faces sizing up their interest. It would almost appear for the first time she was really paying attention and that wall of ignorant bliss dispersed for the very first time. Notable concern lit her features and her lower lip would quiver. A fight yes that's what this school had amounted to, violence on violence on violence, it was a never ending cycle of blood and warfare with no true generals to lead it, no true winners to claim the spoils. Lucia couldn't be certain where the affinity of this pair's loyalties lie but then again it didn't really matter that was all a point of the game.
"You lose." She'd exclaim bluntly, her hands thrown up into the air and her balance temporarily jostled from the big man's shoulder before erupting into a fit of giggle, the allure of her attentive stare almost entirely lost from before.
"That's the game you're playing right now...." Her arms would cross over her torso and a contemplative look settle on her features, "The game I have in mind isn't the sort you finish in an afternoon and more importantly... it will cost you."
The hook cast, any takers? Lucia was often quite vague in her descriptions and by all accounts both parties could leave if they wanted to, but if not there'd obviously be more juicy details to come if not today then in her master book of ploys.
OOC: Sorry it took so long to get back to ya'll busy weekend, should be free this upcoming weekend but have another busy week here. Will try to get at least one a day if I can manage.

Teufel stared up at Lucia and clay curiously. Another game? What was the first game about then?! What was the first game anyway? Teufel rounded up what Lucia had just said. It was going to be a long term game, and there was a cost.' What would the cost be? Money? The little sanity i had left? My life? Maybe not the last one but who knows?' Teufel thought.
Reaching into his backpack, Teufel looked for something that might be worth the "cost" Lucia was talking about. He looked over the contents of the torn bag he held stuff in. There was a dead squirrel In a bag, a quarter, a lollipop, and an apple. 'Maybe not the squirrel' thought Teufel, so he gathered the other items and presented them.
"Um, would this cover the cost miss? I have an apple, a quarter, and a lollipop. Is that good or will I need more?" He asked, slightly intemidated by Lucia. He didn't know what she could do, and frankly, Teufel was scared to try and find out. He looked over at the other boy. The other boy looked like he saw something beyond those doors. What could it be? Torture machine? The boy was also holding the glasses firmly. 'Wonder what'll happen next?' Teufel thought, curious of what's to come
OOC: it's fine, irl stuff before this

"You lose."
The words echoed in Rei's mind as if it were a taunt. This girl truly was a child in every one of her mannerisms and choice of words. Everything in the end was just for her amusement. But Rei was not judging in the slightest. The only difference between the two of them was that Rei was much less devious - according to him at least. He was staring at a more dangerous, more attention-seeking version of himself. Rei found himself becoming...very, very interested in what was in store. He smirked - it was the first time in a long time that he expressed something other than apathy. For some odd reason, he found himself wanting to find out how one could "not" lose, or even if that was an option. There was a good chance that this entire game was just a farce for this girl's amusement. But at the same time, it would be a conduit for Rei's curiosity. It was a win-win.
Rei still clutched the glasses tightly, taking a quick glance at the bodyguard that was frantically searching for them around Rei's feet. There was a good chance that the bodyguard would be searching for them for a while. Rei turned his head to see the boy with antlers digging through his backpack, addressing what the little girl called a "cost" to play the game. An apple, a quarter, and lollipop were the items that the boy brought up to offer. Why that specific combination of things were in his possession was a question that Rei did not know how to answer, or frankly, even ask. He let him be, and diverted his attention back to the devious girl. He knew what his cost would be - the only thing he had to offer that was worth something to the girl and her pair of men.
Rei tossed the glasses to the girl for her to catch, now enveloped in thoughts of what might entail. This "cost" seemed rather fair - her bodyguard would be back on his game now. Whether she truly valued if he could see of not was a question that Rei considered, and hoped would be answered depending on if she thought this transaction was "fair". Her reaction would give Rei even more information on what type of person this girl truly is.
OOC: No worries, I might be in and out too. I'll try to post at least once a day also.

Lucia would remain where she was, smiling all the same as her words would sink in, the girl didn't expect them all to get it the first time around how could they compare to her benevolent forethought. The world they lived in was rotten and she was willing to fix it, but nobody could do anything by themselves. The cost to fix it varied, she couldn't say with any real certainty what an of them would have to pay but she would merely ask in the dawning moments of her expansion that perhaps they'd be interested in capturing her loyalty. Baby steps Lucia, baby steps.
A peaked little grin emerging from the corners of her lips as the horned boy squandered about searching into his backpack for a number of interesting things. Oh how he was quite amusing she could almost die. Hands brought up before her clasped and pressing downwards to perhaps give her another inch of height to see over the hems of the backpack as she was almost sure the boy had missed the point entirely.
"You almost certainly do..." Lucia would giggle with an utmost excitement bouncing to her feet, using a grip on Clay's neck to keep from stumbling forward. Her attention would only shift when the shimmering object would float through the air into her grasp. Bishops glasses captured between her fingers in the free hand.
Interesting. She'd take it as a trade. Not that anyone wouldn't return something of such frailty with a meager bit of concern, a daunting perspective to which she could very well be wrong as the creeping mute held his ground. The gesture of shrill excitement that she'd express towards Teufel would only be expressed doubly so towards Rei. If anything she trusted him less, the quiet were often those to be watched with a wavering concern as their thoughts were the true battle field to be won over.
"Do either of you concern yourselves with Politics?" Lucia would state bluntly, her appearance taking on a more reserved stature before tilting about and dropping backwards off Clay without concern for her own body only to be caught by the hulking man and lowered to her feet.
The frail girl would skip between the bunch showing no distressed signs of a threat looming from the group, after all they'd just agreed to hear her out. Baby steps. "You see, whether you like it or not you're in a war, one you're losing." Lips curled up as she postured Bishop's glasses over his face before bouncing back to Rei closing the gap rather swiftly getting eye to eye. Lucia's arms would be crossed behind her back, an expression she took to show she meant no harm lest with violence.
"What I'm offering is a chance to be on the winning side." She'd giggle lightly with a wink before turning her back and skipping around Bishop to lend him a hand upright. No general revealed all their plans, one could say this was just the pitch.
