</div></div>He was still wrapped in his reverie of the pretty ladies wandering the campus when his sensitive ears caught hold of gentle – soft tones. His ears flicked up from there relaxed back tilt to swivel around and forward while crimson eyes glanced to his right to catch sight of Akena Maris making his way over to him. Nekro quirked a brow that hid beneath his shaggy bangs while crimson eyes gave this quiet guy a once over. He was a little confused, he smelled reptillian flavors as Akena made his way over and a faint masculine scent – but he didn't all together look male. Confusion played in his red eyes as Akena's soft voice asked for directions to the orientation hall.<br/><br/>Nekro straightened slowly sliding his back up along the wall to fully stand and pulled one hand from his pocket to jerk a thumb over his shoulder towards the door. “It's that'a way man... never been here before I'm guessing?” He asked as he turned to head in – might as well get this shit over with right? “Well I'm heading there now if you want to tag along” He said turning slowly he shoved his free hand back into his pocket causing the chain around his waist to jangled and the two trench knives shifted in their holsters on his hips. His back was stooped a little and as Nekro moved he seemed to have a shuffle or slouching posture – this disguised his height a little and the grace of his body.<br/><br/>“Name's Nekrotix – was' yours?” He asked Akena assuming the other faunus had followed him as he entered the stream of students new, and returning, to head indoors. Damn criminal he thought again as the last of the cool breeze left his skin and the sunshine was cut off by the grand entrance of the academy. The students flowed through the entrance hall and moved straight on underneath the arch of two curving staircases that lined the walls. Through this next big door the room opened up into vaulting ceiling, wide spread walls, of an enormous auditorium. Students stood in the center facing a large stage, while seats were set along the outer edges of the room. Some students were sitting – others were standing in the center – most were chatting others were quiet.<br/><br/>Nekro had a moment's faulter where he was unsure whether to join the horde at the center of the room – or to claim a seat at the edges. He spotted another young man his and Akena's age with white hair and glasses perched on the end of his nose then snorted before glancing at Akena “Where you wanna wait for this shit fest to start?”<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbImageWrapper lazyload js-lbImage" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-single-image="1" data-src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FfBOYhNu.jpg%3F1&amp;hash=e8e66de6e1053a6fd598def06617a168" title="fBOYhNu.jpg">

</div></div><br/>Karmyne was still scouring the crowd when someone came up out of no where on her! She gave a startled little jump and golden eyes flicked over to Vi looking her over and wondering – how had she not noticed such a beautiful young lady? Specially when she'd been hunting for friends among-st the crowds. She recovered quickly and smiled brightly at Vi. “Hey! I mean Hi!!! … I mean wait ...” she dialed back the slightly crazy hyper tones in her voice and looked a little confused by herself for a moment. Vi had asked her a question right? RIGHT! She shook her head. “Sorry! Sorry let me start over! Hi I'm Karmyne and Sure! I can show you the way, I've been here a couple times before. Your first time here?” She blinked realizing she was still stumbling through this. She wasn't exactly very good at this social side and was trying to figure out how to be – that much was clear.<br/><br/>Her posture also spoke volumes about her upbringing, she was now standing straight with shoulders low and relaxed, her hands clasped gently just before her abdomen and her chin was slightly tilted up while golden eyes danced. Over all she was very much polite and proper in her stance. She gestured with one hand to make there way around the fountain “It's this way I can take you there no trouble at all. I need to head there myself after all. And I was not busy!” She said with her cheerful tone and a gentle giggle. Her hand lifted after that and hooked a thumb into her sword's holster tugging at it again to readjust the weight evenly – she really needed to take her holster apart and re-string it. But alas that would have to wait – besides she had a new friend! Well maybe.<br/><br/>“What's your name?” She asked as she led the way brushing her long red hair behind one ear and swept the rest around her neck and down over a shoulder she was heading towards the front entrance as she waited trying her best not to out right stare at Vi while they made there way. She was so pretty! For a moment she remembered her old best friend Harliquinn. She pushed the thought away and smiled again at Vi.<br/><br/>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br/><br/>Meanwhile on the stage of the Auditorium just behind the curtains Cerulean was having a slight argument with another of the staff members while they awaited the designated start time of the opening ceremony. Baelis Foon was grumbling in his gruff voice while Ceru was sliding a finger cross her Scroll and trying to ignore Foon's interjections.<br/><br/>“Cerulean – you should have informed me of the initiation test – I feel it is too dangerous for first years...”<br/><br/>“Yes well you've made that point a couple of times now Mr. Foon and honestly I do not care for your thoughts. If Headmaster has approved of the test then you should too. Unless of course you are questioning his authority?” She said a twisted little grin pulling at the corners of her lips before fading quickly away.<br/><br/>“I know that Headmaster Belmont has approved – but it looks like you've made changes since the last meeting, I'm concerned!” He said his eyes widening as he tried to peek at the Scroll. Cerulean turned snatching the Scroll from his view.<br/><br/>“Well I am aloud a little creative lead way. Now tell me is it that you are concerned over the test or that you are concerned for the Indigo girl?” She said her bright red eyes lifting from the scroll to look at him.<br/><br/>“No, I'm concerned for the entire 1st year class – you are a crazed mad woman...”<br/><br/>Cerulean lowered her Scroll a cold cynical smile slowly spread across her lips and dark eyes lifted to look at him. “Mis-ter Foon, if you will please give me the stage. Time is almost upon us and your concerns have been noted thank you” Her voice was dismissive and her eyes icy. She was not happy with him or his concerns and this was HER job after all – well one of them anyways. She then turned her back on him again and looked down at her Scroll typing out a quick message to Belmont. Foon would sigh and made his way out from back stage to wait with the other professors.<br/><br/>~~ Headmaster we are ready in ten please meet me on the Stage for opening speech and welcoming.~~<br/><br/>She then hit send and turned back to her master plan. It was like a game to her – and every year the initiation test seemed to get more extreme. Students of upper classes would actually be whispering or chatting about it around the new first years and some of the other new comers looked slightly worried over it.<br/><br/>(( TAG<a class="username" data-user-id="263" data-username="@Byteress" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/263/">@Byteress</a>))
