Who: Sparx Larsa<br/>For: Siren, Van, and Open<br/>Where: Heading to the Mission Board.<br/>When: Mid Afternoon, Sunday<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3635/sparxlarsa.jpg)</div><hr/><br/>Sparx came ripping across campus on his hover-board; his white jacket fluttering in the turbulance as it hooked around corners, shot through the hallways, and flew overhead whenever he happened to catch a bit of air. He didn't have time to pump the brakes whenever somebody got in the way. They'd just have to move, or he'd ave to dodge. Many a student almost met a terrible end at by means of taking a hover board to the liver, but all seemed to be able to make a narrow escape just before collision.<br/><br/>Sparx was on a mission.<br/><br/>He knew this year he would be forced to participate in one of the school's more dangerous hunts, so he only had two things in mind. He needed to find out exactly what type of missions would be going on so that he could pick the most simple of them all, and he needed to find somebody who he knew would protect him during such hunts. Everything seemed simple enough: He'd find Siren, enlist her as a partner (really, a bodyguard), and then only accept the truly mediocre missions he knew she would totally dominate single-handedly. Only problem was: Siren wasn't in the medical office.<br/><br/>That was bad.<br/><br/>Not only did he have to look all over campus to find her, but he had to do it quick enough to get back to the mission board and pick the easiest one before someone else gets to it. ~Dammit where is she?!~ He picked up speed for a moment, then suddenly pulled into a harsh brake. The hover-board stopped mid-flight, and Sparx paused to think out loud for a moment. "I'm just wasting time trying to find her now... But, if I go to the board first and select the easiest mission, then at least it will be reserved for when I do find her! Yes!" And with a quick turn, he was blasting off again, this time towards the mission board.<br/><br/>It wouldn't be long before the tech-geek tore through campus yet again, finally arriving at his destination. He jumped down off the board before it came to a complete stop and scooped it up underneath his arm, allowing him to make a light jog to the board. What he saw, however, froze him in his tracks. Yes, Siren was there, but so was another student: one Sparx was yet to be familiarized with. Neither of them would have saw the spiky-headed young man just yet, but he hesitated to make his forward approach. Had they already picked a mission to go on together? Knowing Sparx's luck, it was definitely the easiest on the list.<br/><br/>He felt his entire plan fall to shambles in that instant. Sure, he was a good strategist, but this was real life. The other students weren't just NPCs that stuck around waiting to give you quests. They had their own intelligence and moved through an open world setting in real time. They even had their own motives; most of the time that didn't agree with the gamer. With a defeated sigh he stood back, away from the two. He needed to come up with another plan fast, but his motivation was completely shot at the moment. He didn't know anybody else at the school besides Zaara and Chiya, but he hadn't seen either of them since Combat Training.<br/><br/>~Damn... I'm screwed...~ It pained him to know that he put himself into this situation. If only he was a bit more sociable or talkative. If only he'd take the time to interact with others, maybe he'd actually have people he could go to in situations like this. The life of a loner was cold and empty in the end; one that left you in the Yokai Forest without any support or protection. ~Now what...?~
