<div class="floatleft">(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/new-monster/images/e/ec/Succubus.png/revision/latest?cb=20150302002317)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Mikah Tempetus<br/><strong>Time:</strong>6:00 AM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cornered in the stairwell<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Everybody, apparently<br/><hr/><br/>Mikah almost laughed. Almost. It was just so incredibly perfect. Apparently the dark gods themselves were on her side. Not even fifteen minutes into her day at the Academy and she was already holding court. She looked over the faces of the gathered, fighting a sneer as the one referred to as "President" walked past. What sort of a title was that? She didn't need to act as though she had some sort of special status. Obviously, she was going to be someone that Mikah had to contend with later. Someone who would need watching. Luckily, the girl was gone again almost as soon as she was there, barely giving the group of them the time of day. The other two, well, if you were going to be that bubbly, you had to know people were going to ignore you. But her? Mikah? That was going to cost her.<br/><br/>Later, though.<br/><br/>She filed it away, categorizing it in her mind under a feeling of impending vindication and turned her attention to the others that had gathered around. There were names, of course, two perky individuals who seemed as though they had nothing better to do than socialize. What better to do with them than find a way to direct their energies more efficiently? It would help her to wrangle other such minds if she appeared to have a somewhat softer side. She gave the two girls a calm but pleasant smile. And she hoped that she managed to hide her malicious contempt with it. It would do no good to sneer at the young women she intended to wield.<br/><br/>"Oh, hello, there!" She said smoothly, quietly. "Oh, you're the girl from the posters." She took the proffered hand and clasped gently enough that she didn't come across quite so aggressive as she was feeling. Yes, these two would do nicely, these lambs to the slaughter. It was like surrounding oneself in clouds: In theory, so benign it was almost beneficial, but actual practice showed it to be stifling, damp and made everything a little uncomfortable. Still, if she needed allies, there was little better to shroud herself in than the clouds themselves.<br/><br/>As she contemplated this, she could hear the sounds of someone else walking down the stairs from whence she'd just come, glancing back in that direction.<em>Don't look, fool!</em>She admonished herself. She didn't want to look as though she were paying attention. People were much more likely to make mistakes when they thought no one was watching them. If she was going to come out of the first week with enough ammunition, she was going to have to get better at NOT watching everything people were doing. It was going to be difficult work, but worth it. When all was said and done the spoils of war would be hers to keep.<br/><br/>"It's nice to meet you. Hello, Dani." She let the corners of her mouth curl up into what might have been a smile, had it not also been slightly predatory. "It's so nice to meet both of you. You both look so lovely." She put a hand on her hip, winking at the two of them. "Almost as good as I do." She then put on the expert grin that, in her experience, made people think she was joking. In fairness, she was. There was no way either of them looked half as good as she did. If she timed it right, she'd be striking a pose of power, confidence, with the attention of two other females who would hopefully be giggling and laughing good-naturedly with her. And one being the host of the eye-catching party announced for the evening. With any luck, her back to this new person, she could "suddenly" turn and "realize" there was someone else there, hopefully play up the surprise angle.<br/><br/>The first thing she needed to do to maintain power was to make sure that the people around her were unsure of theirs. It was the first step to proving her superiority.
