Mei pretended to doze off while the gift bags, pens, and cards were passed out, only ever opening her eyes to notice the bag of macaroons. She glared at Grimm as she walked passed then closed her eyes again, still leaning back in her chair at an ungodly angle.
There was no way she was participating in this "tell me about yourself" BS, it seemed pointless and boring. Besides, that just wasn't Mei's thing. Telling people things? Her? Pfftttt, never.
...
But those macaroons were tempting though... Curse her sweet tooth.

Aoi simply sat in silence as things happened, thanking Grimm quietly as things were passed around and refusing to look up from his desk. All he did was stare at the card, unsure of what to write.
"Tell me about yourself."
...But there wasn't much to say, was there? Aoi didn't live a life of his own, he didn't have any hobbies or interests, there wasn't anything unique about him in the slightest, and everything about him was just so... dull. He felt bad that he couldn't give his teacher a good answer, but nothing just seemed to come to mind.
With a sigh, he lifted his arm up and grabbed the pen, slowly writing down something and hoped it would work.
"I'm Aoi, and I spend my days working. Not much else to say, sorry."
...best words i've seen all day frfr
She looked down at the cards passed down to the students, and the top of the card had the words,
"Tell me about yourself."
Oh? Jackie put a hand in her chin as she began to think. What was she like? To her, Jackie was a lot of things. She didn't really know how to explain herself in the shortest way possible..
She wondered if she could possibly make some stuff up? Or just partially tell the truth..
Jackie took of the cap on her pen and began to write, in cursive, on the paper..
"I'm Jackie Ness. I love reading books and doing my makeup in my free time. My stepsister is Marina. I love her dearly. I like quiet and peaceful environments. I love listening to music. It helps me focus and relive my stress. I hate loud, weird, and annoying people in general. I am the daughter of Hades and I am Half-Japanese, Half-Haitian. I am 16 years old as well.
.......
I'm also a Ange-"
"No...not yet. I'm not ready to let others know yet...only Marina should know....and nobody else...so far." Jackie whispered to herself.
She crossed out her unfinished word.
"I am also a
Jackie frowned a little as she finished writing her little 'About Me'. She closed the pen and put it down, taking one of the macaroons from her gift bag and began to eat it.
Her eyes lit up. It was delicious! Jackie happily ate as she waited for the other students to finish so they could move on..

Emika's brow raised a little at the prompt the paper held. "Tell me about yourself." Thankfully she was skilled in calligraphy and began to write.
"I am Emika Tenshi-Smith. I am half Japanese, half American. I enjoy goth lolita fashion. I-"
Emika paused. She shouldn't tell ANYONE about her. But what else was there to say about herself without telling her big, bad secret?

Marina couldn't help a small giggle at the prompt. "Tell me about yourself." Okay! She began to write on the paper.
"My name is Marina Von Kaimana-Reaper. I am an undead mermaid and daughter of Poseidon himself! Jackie Ness is my stepsister and I love her lots and lots! I love swimming, but I really don't like my duties as a princess. Bleh!"
Marina giggled again as she completed her About Me. She finished up, and was immediately distracted by the goodie bag.

Eris grimaced at the prompt on the paper. "Tell me about yourself." She couldn't help a small sigh before beginning her About Me.
"My name is Eris Everlast. I'm
Eris ended the paper there. She had some things she wasn't comfortable talking about...
Im Theo! I like reading, messing with technology, and really just anything in general! Besides bugs. They're nasty. My favorite color is purple, and im really sociable! I also like drawing!
He thought for a moment, and eyed the gift bag. He took one of the macarons and ate it while he worked on a small little sketch on the side of the paper.
"H-hey, Professor! I've finished my assignment, what else should I do?!" Keiki chirped, handing a slip of pink paper to Grimm. "Oh yeah! The other boy gave me his assignment to give to you too!!" Keiki handed Grimm a small slip of silver paper.
"The black-haired boy over there is sleeping. I heard him whisper some horrible things about the other students-" Keiki whispered. "I thought you should know." They grinned and walked away.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Mei watched her teacher closely with one eye barely open as she still leaned back in her chair. She found Grimm... interesting to say the least, but even then she returned to just simply pretending to take a nap. She probably would've fell asleep if that was something she actually did. Right now? Mei was just bored and could honestly care less.
That is, until some chick's rambling caught Mei's attention, and not in a good way. She squinted and mumbled under her breath at Keiki, obviously not a fan of whatever they were doing.
Well, not like she could be bothered enough to even try and eavesdrop on their conversation, she had a feeling it would just annoy her anyways.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Aoi sat in silence as he watched Grimm, occasionally looking over at Artur out of curiosity. He didn't dare do anything, he found it best to just sit anyways. Surprisingly, even with nothing to do other than just watch the most minuscule things around him, he wasn't bored in the slightest.
He turned his head towards the rest of the room, watching as everyone filled out their papers. It only made him feel slightly worse, as he wasn't able to do much of the same, but he knew he couldn't dwell on it.
As he turned his attention back to the bag that was given to him, he noticed one of the students go up to Grimm and started asking a few questions. He didn't turn his gaze to them, but instead intently listened.
"H-hey, Professor! I've finished my assignment, what else should I do?! Oh yeah! The other boy gave me his assignment to give to you too!!"
...Other boy?
Before Aoi could think much about it, they began to whisper something else to the teacher, something he could barely pick up on.
"The black-haired boy over there is sleeping. I heard him whisper some horrible things about the other students-"
"I thought you should know."
He glanced over to the supposed sleeping black-haired boy, tilting his head slightly out of curiosity upon spotting him.
Oh well, he didn't want to be involved anyways.
She caught a glance of that bubbly person...what was their name again....Keiki? get up from their seat and return their assignment and another student's assignment to the teacher. But right when they did, they seemed to tell the teacher something..
"The black haired boy over there is sleeping. I heard him whisper some horrible things about the other students-"
"I thought you should know."
And with that, Keiki grinned and left back to their seat..
Jackie grimaced. A snitch? Great...she had to be careful around Keiki, it seemed that they had a thing for being a tattletail. For some reason Keiki worried her.
If Keiki told on people for misbehavior....was it possible that they would tell other people's secrets??
"Dammit Jackie, you're hopeless. I need to stop overthinking." Jackie sighed to herself. She glanced at the teacher and her bird. She wondered if the teacher had cool abilities as well as her and the students?
For now, she put her pocket knife back in her bag and pulled out a Jojo's Bizzare Adventure manga from her bookbag and began to read where she left off with a small smile.
★
"Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, eh? Haven't read that in some time. It's as good as I remember, I suppose, judging by your aura." Kaden whispered to Jackie. " I s'pose I don't make much sense, waffling on about 'auras'- " He sighed.
"I should stop talking. I'm Kaden, you?" He extended a hand. "I saw your demonstration. Super cool. I'm stuck with the lame ability to sense emotions and control them. Hence the 'auras'. It's lame, I know.
I guess the best I can do is make the snitching rat over there burst into tears.
Actually that might be a good idea now that I think about it-"
"Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, eh? Haven't read that in sometime. It's as good as I remember, I suppose, judging by your aura."
"I...uh..well, its a really good manga...and the anime is better, though." Jackie said, giggling a little as she whispered back to Kaden.
"I s'pose I don't make as much sense, waffling on about 'auras'-"
"I should stop talking. I'm Kaden, you?"
Jackie blinked a few times. It was true that she didn't really understand what Kaden was talking about with the auras and stuff. She smiled as the boy introduced himself and extended his hand out to her.
"I'm Jackie, Jackie Ness. It's a pleasure to meet you." She smiled sweetly.
"I saw your demonstration. Super cool. I'm stuck with the lame ability to sense emotions and control them. Hence the 'auras.' It's lame, I know."
Jackie flushed at the small compliment. Kaden liked her power demonstrations? "I-I don't think my powers are that interesting...but yours were amazing! Controlling emotions are incredible! I loved your demonstration the most, to be honest." Jackie beamed with a bright smile.
"I guess the best I can do is to make that snitching rat over there to burst into tears."
"Acually that might be a good idea now that I think about it-"
Jackie laughed a little. "Honestly. Who knew we had a bundle full of joy as a snitch? Honestly, I wish I could've put a zipper on their mouth and close it tightly." Jackie scoffed. She looked at Kaden and smiled.
Her first possible friend here. Kaden was a cool and chill guy to be around.

"Honestly. Who knew we had a bundle full of joy as a snitch? Honestly, I wish I could've put a zipper on their mouth and close it tightly."
Kaden snorted. "Good idea." He muttered.
"I mean, I would...but remember the power demonstration? Yeahhh, no thank you. I don't want to get on the wrong end of that ability." He shuddered.
"I've not really spoken to any other students, apart from you, of course. They seem like an alright bunch, I guess."
" 'S a bit awkward though, meeting new people. I can't even remember who my dorm mate is-" He winced. "That's not good."
He paused for a second.
"Emo guy over there is fully out of it. What's the most annoying way to wake someone up? I wanna test it-" Kaden's eyes gleamed as he grinned mischievously.
"I mean, I would...but remember that power demonstration? Yeahhh, no thank you. I don't want to get on the wrong end of that ability."
Jackie shuddered as well. "Yeah, her power is freaky-deaky. It's so weird, I felt second hand embarrassment from the student that got demonstrated on and treated like and acual dog...not to mention acted like an actual dog. Talk about funky.."
"I've not spoken to any other students apart from you, of course. They seem like an alright bunch, I guess."
"Yeah, I suppose. Although the only person I know really well is my stepsister, Marina Von-Kamina Reaper. She's like Keiki, but not weird, nor a snitch. Just a bubbly girl and very sweet when you get to know her." Jackie smiled.
" 'S a bit awkward though, meeting new people. I can't even remember who my dorm mate is-"
"Hey, you're not alone! I don't really remember mine's that well either, but I think it's one of the late new students that arrived here. And besides, who knows? You might get my stepsister. She's really kind and always has a smile on her face." Jackie smiled sweetly at Kaden.
"Emo guy over there is fully out of it. What's the most annoying way to wake someone up? I wanna test it-"
Jackie had a sinister grin on her face. Maybe...a little fun won't hurt. "I would say a few yells in the ear, or a loud airhorn next to them, to make them jump a little...or just 'accidentally' move their chair and make them fall. A little few silly ideas." Jackie said.

Mei perked up upon hearing chattering once again, between two students that she couldn't really care to remember the names for. She opened her eyes slightly to peer over at them, not making a single movement as she listened.
"I guess the best I can do is make the snitching rat over there burst into tears.
Actually that might be a good idea now that I think about it-"
Oh? Interesting... Mei smirked upon hearing the sinister idea this Kaden kid had, finding it humorous. Now she was interested.
"Honestly. Who knew we had a bundle full of joy as a snitch? Honestly, I wish I could've put a zipper on their mouth and close it tightly."
You and Mei both, Jackie. In Mei's eyes, snitches get a little more than stitches. More like... [ Censored due to the need to conform to Pokeheroes rules ]
"Emo guy over there is fully out of it. What's the most annoying way to wake someone up? I wanna test it-"
Oh hell yes. Said "emo guy" was coincidentally her dorm-mate, and she would find any excuse to annoy the hell out of him. She had a few tricks up her sleeve herself, maybe she could pitch in.
Suddenly, both Jackie and Kaden were visited by a shadowy mass in the shape of an arm creeping up from the ground beside them, tapping their shoulders. Of course, if they dared to look, Mei would be a little brat and try and be funny, making the hand disappear and tap their other shoulder instead. Then, suddenly, the palm of the mass seemed to cave and form a mouth shape, and it whispered into both of their ears.
"I may have an idea or two~"
"I may have an idea or two~"
"SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY WHAT THE-" Kaden paused briefly to curse in a R'Lyehian-sounding language.
"Ideas are welcome, but like, geez. No need to scare the crap out of me!" He scowled.
The anger was brief and short, and a grin suddenly appeared.
"C'mon, I'm interested. What are your ideas?"
Jackie flinched. "AHH! WHAT THE HELL? WHAT THE FU-" Jackie nealy cursed in Creolé or Japanese, but instead jumped in suprise and accidentally launched her book in the air but immediately caught it.
She whipped her head around towards Mei and sighed.
"Man, you scared the [insert silly no-no word] out of me!!" She said a little angrily.
But then Jackie smirked at Mei after she managed to calm herself.
She was with Kaden. "Yeah, go on, spill! What are your plans to wake Mr Emo boy~?"

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Mei's smirk only grew as both Jackie and Kaden expressed their shock, a small chuckle coming soon after.
At this point, the hands faded back into the ground, but a small patch of cold air could still be felt where they once were. "Awww, but it's fun!" She replied to Kaden, giggling as she gave a s**t-eating grin.
She moved her hands away from behind her head, throwing her feet off of her desk and leaning forward as she turned to face them. She then crossed her arms then nodded her head in Idris's direction.
"Well..." She smirked, all sorts of ideas
"You think that's scary? You haven't seen nothing yet~"
She inched closer to the two, her expression darkening as she smiled. Something about her face seemed... Scarily devious.
"I could pull a little something or two on that brat," Mei spat, "I hope you two don't mind sitting back, maybe takin' the blame a bit, hehe~"
Mei didn't really care about what they thought about it, of course, she was going to do it anyways.
She looked over to Idris and a grin appeared on her face.
"At least we'll get to witness something interesting in this boring hellhole." Jackie smirked.
"Oou! Should I get my phone and record this?" Jackie grinned wider.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Hell yeah!" She responded, giving a chuckle before turning to Idris, tilting her head a bit as she sat there.
"Alright... Ready?" She didn't wait for a reply, instead, she gestured towards the shadowy mass on the ground that was making its way over to him. At first, it didn't look like anything, didn't resemble a specific shape, but as it got closer to Idris it became more and more horrifying. It looked like something straight from hell as it crawled over, only the upper half of its "torso" visible. Then, it started to crawl up his chair, and if you listened closely, you could hear the haunting, chilling sound of overlapped laughter coming from the area that should've been its mouth.
It finally made its way onto his body instead of his chair, its long, slender fingers moving independently as the mass used them to crawl up his back and towards his ear. Then, it began to whisper, it was something intelligible and incoherent, but that was only because it sounded like voices one could only hear in their worst nightmares. While it whispered, one of the hands slowly inched its way over to Idris's face and even phased through his arms to do so, then latched itself over his eyes.
Mei looked slightly disappointed, but still quite entertained as it all went on. "Let's see how he likes that." Mei giggled as she whispered to Jackie and Kaden.
"...."
He sighed, and lifted his head up from the desk.
"You finished with your...whatever this is?" Idris muttered angrily. He barely acknowledged the hellish creature. "I heard everything you were all muttering about.."
He gestured to the creature. "Really? My grandmother is scarier than this. You really wanna scare me? Then don't do this."
"I conjure up the dead, for christ's sake. Skeletons, demons, whatever is buried underneath our feet right now I've probably encountered before-"
He rubbed his eyes. Man, he really wanted to sleep again.
"....you know what really scares me? Eye contact. Dunno why my therapist is so insistent on me making eye contact with people.." He mumbled.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
With that comment, Mei rolled her eyes and soon after, the creature she conjured up gave Idris a hard slap, which left him with a mark that looked like a very faint tattoo in the shape of a small hand.
"Oh whatever..." Mei groaned, crossing her arms as she glared at him. "You're a jerk, y'know that? Party-poopin, annoying, bratty son of a bi-" She stopped herself and groaned, looking over at Jackie and Kaden.
"Why did we even bother..." Mei muttered to the two, keeping her voice low.
"Really? My grandmother is scarier than this. You really wanna scare me? Then don't do this."
"Yeah and my mother is more of an edgy jerk-wad than this... I can do whatever the hell I want, thank you very much." She growled smugly, looking at Idris with her nose scrunched up and her tongue sticking out.
"I conjure up the dead, for christ's sake. Skeletons, demons, whatever is buried underneath our feet right now I've probably encountered before-"
Mei rolled her eyes and groaned, letting her arms fall as she flung her head back. "Oh my Gooooooddd," She groaned, then returned to glaring at him. "Ok, and? Look, dude, go back to 2005 and listen to MCR like the edgy emo weirdo you are, I don't care about you trying to be this goddamn edgy, it's just annoying..."
"....you know what really scares me? Eye contact. Dunno why my therapist is so insistent on me making eye contact with people.."
Mei paused, then began to burst out laughing. "Oh! So you really are this much of an edgy weirdo! Why am I even surprised?!" She paused for a minute to laugh again. "A therapist? Seriously?" She tried to say more, but she could only laugh.
