It was 10:00 p.M for Vance who completely most of his classes and finished his janitorial part time job. He was sitting on a cold bench near a light glowing eerily on a lamppost. A few bats fluttered near it attempting to snatch up the moths into their hungry mouths. Vance was alone in the garden smoking a cigarette lost in thought.
Carolina
And Violetta found herself in a similar boat.
She sat down pensively on another nearby bench, it felt so much nicer out at night than day to her.
Much colder, much more... Atmospheric, in such a way she couldnt quite explain.

She's writing in a diary by the looks of it, and she's in her pyjamas. Or at least they look like pyjamas.
Good for her
Marvin
Vance doesn't judge her for coming out in what appeared to be simple PJ's. Not going to judge. He doesn't bother her while she scribbled in her diary like a typical girl that he seen back in private school in Sicily. A grey stream of smoke swiggled from his cigarette that snaked its way up towards the light of the lamp post. He was a tall 6'7 ft. Tall young man dressed in dark grey jeans and a simple black hoodie and white silk scarf. He was an illusive student keeping to himself and staying away from most other kids at school. The company of the strange girl didn't bother him one bit.
Carolina
Violetta would occasionally steal a few glances to him, a look over then a look away back to her book. He was about 1'4 taller than her, but this more intrigued her than anything.
Smoking on premises seemed pretty against the rules, she realised as the tall man smoked.
She wanted to say something- well, more *Ask* Something, the questioning of the allowance of a smoke.

*Because she could really use a vape right about now </3*

"Uh.. Excuse me but is that.. Allowed?" She half mumbled in questioning to Vance, referring pretty obviously to the cigarette.
Marvin
"Absolutely not." He gave her a straight forward reply. "I do need it now given by the shitty job I have here... Yes, I need it or they'll be dealing with another problem." Vance wasn't disgruntled when she poked at him about his cigarette. His eyes are partially closed, almost in slits while he is enjoying a drag from his danger stick.
Carolina
"..Oh." Sadge.
She lets out a half sigh of annoyance. She'll live, it was hardly something she ever really NEEDED of sorts, just a nice little sweet release.
"Man.. You'd think it'd be allowed if you're the legal age for it. Shame." She closed the book with a satisfyingly clean clap.

"You're not a student?"
Marvin
"Eh... They took me in they'll have to deal with it," Vance says, a little firmness in his tone. "Don't be mistaken, I am a student... Just one who has a job on this property." He takes another drag of his cigarette before letting it stream from his mouth, now open his eyes to see the girl properly. Its almost look like he has a catty look with no ill intention behind them. "So, what brings you out here late at night? It must be difficult to write in your diary, lass."
Carolina
Soz was busy!! Ahem
She fiddled with the bookmark of the book, nodding with an understanding 
"Ahh" When he explained the job part.
There was always something very therapeutic about watching other people smoke, or just anything on fire. Yeah sure, bad for your health, but the way the smoke wafted was something she could hardly take her eyes off.

She's snapped out of her mesmerised stare by the question, however.
"It's not a diary. It looks like one, sure, but its just notes on everyone i meet. Not in a creepy way, I'm just figuring out the best ways to Not Seem Weird to anyone" Sounds like way too much effort.
Marvin
"That is kinda creepy," Vance said, giving her a weird look. None the less raised an eyebrow at the girl. "It sounds like a lot of work... Trying not to be weird when other people are the ones being strange?" Vance couldn't help but sigh at this with streams of grey smoke escaped his mouth. "Do they try not to be weird with you?" He seems to muttered the last sentence before turning his gaze away to stare out at the field. "If you feel like breaking yourself in for others sake, go right on ahead... I ain't stopping ya."
Carolina
Violetta frowned lightly at the other's comment, burrowing the book into the tote bag sat beside her with a quiet huff.
"It's not really trying not to be weird. Everyone is just so... Different i suppose, so I adjust myself to it, the notes help- sometimes." She tried her best to explain herself, though it likely just made her seem more confusing than anything else. Not that it was Violetta's problem.

"I dont think I'm breaking myself in... It helps with confusing people"
Marvin
"Everyone is different... That's just how it is.." Vance said, flickering the ashes from his cigarette. The grey hot powder disappears into the breeze. "Just don't forget to be yourself when you find the right friends who understands you. Maybe then you might not need your book once knowing them well enough."
Carolina
"I uh.. Suppose you're right." Violetta half sighed, watching the smoke start up then fade with vague interest.
"I don't know, people are just easier when you feel like you know what to do in every situation, at least vaguely"

Little does Violetta know she could probably just. Find this out via talking to said person more than once, but oh well.
"Whatever. People are weird in the end" Lightheartedly, Violetta shrugged at her own comment, or just out of habit.
People were in fact, weird.
Marvin
"Have you gave it a thought that maybe you should... I don't know? Just talk to the same person until you feel that you get them?" Vance flickered away the ashes from his cigarette. He fell silent pondering on what he said before shrugging it off. "You don't seem to be a bad person so I guess you'll start making friends in no time." He put his cigarette out before flicking it into the trash. "Name's Vance... And please don't ever mention me on the intranet... I prefer to go unnoticed."
Carolina
"That's rather horrifying, in it's own right." She notes, frowning lightly.

She didn't respond to the second comment, but nodded at the introduction.
"Vance is a nice name.. I'm Violetta, I assume going unnoticed is difficult though, being so tall?"
Marvin
He rubs the back of his neck when his pointed ear flicks. "Nah, I may be a big guy but I know how to get to places without being noticed." And he leans back in his seat with his arm resting on the backrest. "Not a lot of people is aware that I exist? Just a casual hi and hello before going off on our own merry way. Its always been like that since I arrived here."
Carolina
"I see... Sounds useful, in a hiding from the authorities sort of way" Violetta tilted her head, not really questioning his antisocial nature much further.

"Sounds a little bit upsetting, but I suppose if you like it that way, then it's different"
Much to think about. Flying under the radar was pretty much her entire childhood, from the day she was born.
And to be honest, she was sorta over it.

But other's were different, she had to remember that.
Marvin
"Eh... I'm not in a hurry to be making friends any time soon.." Vance said, a slight bitterness in his tone. There was one point in time when he thought that he had a companion turned out to be false. He's not great at making friends in the begin with. That was somewhat his fault on his part thinking that he could somehow help the other even when they're being stubborn and sketchy. It doesn't matter now.

"I'm more focused on more important things that matters more is school, work and getting much credit as I can get."

This was true on his part that he wants to be the most skilled to make up for his other weaknesses. He isn't the most strongest parahuman in this school, but he can rely on his other abilities.

"It might sound boring but what else can you do around here in Newton Cradel?" It grew apparent that he is ready to leave the moment he receive his chance to bid his fair well to the stranger.
