Contradiction

[jeitaken]

Too close -- if the class hadn't gone so 29345682394629--!

Move! Coming through--

*running full tilt down towards the first floor, aura of D0000M so strong as to be noticed by anyone within sight of him, desperate to reach the Whomping Willow in time... augh, why does Ravenclaw Tower have to be so darned HIGH!?*


[[Forgot to take his potion today. D: If your character was aware that Jei has a secret, his activities this evening may be taken as a significant clue.
Should be doing homework, rly, but hey, it's full moon.]]

*Peeks from his classroom to hear the raging boy and feel the impending aura*
...hm..

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*going RIGHT by, practically freezing the air around him*

*DOOOOOOOOOOOOM~*

[screwingscience.livejournal.com]

*watches him closely and then smirks a little* well now...isn't that interesting.

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*catches that remark, but is moving too fast to react*

*is probably in soooooo much trouble now*


[[XDDD As one of Jei's teachers, Franken would have been informed of Jei's condition, so he could guess where he was going and why... unless the message went astray somehow. XDDD Either way would be interesting!]]

[zodiaconigiri.livejournal.com]

*had stopped walking, shivering at the aura* *Moves out of the way for Jei and watches him worriedly*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*knows her from around the castle, but is moving too fast to tell who it is, and is just glad he didn't run into her*

*calls over his shoulder* Pardon--

-while passing by during one of his night wanderings, Hiei watches at the boy 'wizzes' by, a trail of black hair flowing behind him-

Hn. -Hiei stuffs his hands in his pockets and continues on, pondering on that aura- A fool who forgot his precious books in a classroom?...

...No...something's different...

-Continues walking on in a different direction from Jei, though his curiosity is piqued.-

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*this being one of the upper-years whom Jei doesn't really know yet, he pays the other boy little heed, though that spark of curiosity might have worried him if he'd noticed it....*

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

*saw from afar and promptly went to go make some good soup and maybe cookies for when he comes back*

((Vivi knows the drill by now X3 ))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*will be glad of that, later on....*


[[Awwwww. ^___^ Does Vivi know of his condition from the summer, or is it still just a guess?]]

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

((it's a thing he knows but refuses to admit that he knows, even to himself, because he's not supposed to know it and doesn't want to hurt anyone ... if that made ANY sense at all))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

[[It does! Maybe Jei has the same non-knowledge, but is scared to prod at Vivi's considerateness.... it'll be nice when they do acknowledge it all one of these days.]]

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

((there is a plan! for the trio (aka Jei, Vivi, and Yamino) to talk about general weird-ness ... some time ... soon-ish? ))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

[[In the words of Peter Venkman, I like this plan and am excited to be a part of it! ^___^ *hopes to get a new computer this week and become more active* 8D]]

[vivigoldnblack.livejournal.com]

((OMG another person who actually remembers and uses that quote! *clings to you* Good luck w/ your evil comp ))

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

[[Wheee, another person who actually GETS that quote! 8DDD *spins you around* Best movie evar. Besides Galaxy Quest.

Th-thanks! *clings back* Things are looking good, so :D!]]

*nearly falls out of his chair when he notices Jei dash down the hall toward the stairs, his curiosity piqued, he waits a minute however, trying to consider if he should chase the kid and see what was wrong... And after a few moments it occurs to him and he jumps up, moving to follow Jei, though lagging behind because of his delay... and perhaps a bit of hesitance even still... Though he wants to be sure Jei gets to wherever he's racing off to*

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

*also ended up trying to tail the boy... out of worry instead of knowledge. He had his suspicions of course but... didn't KNOW*

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

*is a bit twitchy due to the feeling he's picking up on from Jei, he glances over toward the quiet footsteps, for once paying a bit more attention to his surroundings than normal*

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

*was he trying to follow Jei too? It seemed like it* Professor?

*Wait, but if Paul was worried and he knew like Yamino suspected... then Maybe Jei--- Yamino really did feel like he was messing around in other people's secrets far too much lately!!*

*Suspecting what he did so strongly... was he really just following his friend out of concern? *
*but what if it wasn't that, and he could help? either way the professor had likely already hear him...*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*is already around the corner of the castle, heading for the Whomping Willow*


[[And so we all meet in this thread. :D]]

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

*glances over his shoulder, a bit startled even though he knew someone else was there* Oh, Yamino... Hey.
*doesn't stop walking though he does slow a little*

... Is there something you wanted? *glances toward the corner Jei rounded just a second ago, ever so slightly anxious about loosing sight of him, as aside from following Jei to be sure he got where he was going ok, he also wanted to be sure no one bothered the kid in an unfortunate way... As much like his own secrets, he was sure it wouldn't be that good if too many people found out*

[[Heh... Crazy, whee! ... So we do.]]

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

*Maybe he is just concerned? Or maybe that "not human" bit meant he was a werewolf too... Deep down Yamino did know Jei was one, but he could only admit that to himself AFTER he heard it from Jei...*

No, I'm following Jei. And you are too. *Yamino said it simply, and didn't really spare the time to watch for a reaction, as following his madly dashing friend was proving difficult.* I've never seen him quite like THIS before...

*Yamino didn't want to say more than that about why he was following Jei... he had no clue how much the Professor might already know...*

[[Well two meet... one's just being trailed from behind XD]]

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*meanwhile Jei's swiped with his wand at the base of the Whomping Willow, which freezes in place, refraining from striking at him as he moves in close to its trunk; turning, then, he almost seems to look right at Paul and Yamino across the distance between them*

*and if they have sharp eyes, they may be able to see him trembling, his teeth tightly gritted and muscles tightened against some inner turmoil as he pauses, one hand on the frozen tree*

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

Yah... *wry grin* I am, observant aren't ya?
*slight wince* Sorry, that as uncalled for... *glances back toward where Jei went, a bit nervous*
No, it's... H--... *clearly rethinks whatever he'd been about to say, looking a bit pained at having to avoid saying whatever it had been*

No, he isn't normally like this... But I can take care of him. Make sure he doesn't get hurt or into trouble... *as an after though, with an amused slight grin he adds* But you should likely get back to you're dorm before you're late...

*He won't force Yamino to go back, though he's not entirely comfortable just letting the kid follow him, and more importantly Jei to where the kid was going and why, after a moment he starts walking again anyway*

*he glances back toward Jei and sighs, wishing there was something he could do to comfort the kid, but no part of the process seemed 'pleasant', so there was little he could do, and at the moment he didn't want to raise his voice enough that Jei could hear him, as he didn't want to accidentally drag someone elses attention to them... however he does mentally replay whatever it was Jei had done to stop the tree in his mind, remembering it for later as he made a gesture for the kid to keep going if he needed to, flashing what he hoped was a comforting slight smile*

[[Creepy stalkers are... Creepy? XD It's also funny as hell, poor Jei just trying to get away from the school, and Paul and Yamino. *laugh* Awkward amusingness. I laugh. ^.^]]

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

*So Paul knew, and said he could deal with it. Yamino guessed he trusted Paul enough with that... besides Vivi and the others really would worry if 'punctual Yamino' came in late. It's not as if it HADN'T become obvious there was nothing he could do anyway*

Just hurry professor, I don't think there's much time left.
*Though Yamino didn't follow any further, he watched the professor for a short while after before turning back towards the school... working it back and forth in his mind whether or not Paul might have needed to get to that place as much as Jei... finally deciding he simply couldn't tell.*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*it's true, there isn't: Jei has just slipped down the hole at the base of the Willow's trunk just as a silvery glow lines the tips of the mountains to the east*


*and it isn't many minutes later -- maybe five, maybe ten -- when something that might have been a cry floats back from the direction of the tree -- a cry or perhaps an eerie wail.... or maybe just a lonely, random thestrel somewhere in the forest beyond.....*

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

*nods thankfully, glad it hadn't taken much more convincing* Just be sure to get back to your dorm safe, huh?

*Without waiting much longer than a moment he darts off again after Jei, a bit more quickly this time, as he ran he spared the thought to wonder what Yamino thought of all this, but as he wanted to catch up to Jei, and had to focus on avoiding the (Now annoyed) willow tree, avoiding one of the willow branches a bit too neatly before tapping that same spot Jei had, if he'd felt like taking the time he would have been shocked and highly interested in repeating the same effect Jei had, but as it was he only had the thought before following Jei, growling quietly in annoyance when his jacket gets snagged on something and he has to pull it free while following the kid down the tunnel... Though it does a bit remind him of being back home... Which makes him grin slightly*

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

Having seen the two disappear, Yamino sighed and headed back. He'd talk with Vivi about the two of them visiting Jei tomorrow. -.-

And he'd definitely have to work up the nerve to have his little talk with Paul sometime too...

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*keeps going, aware that Professor Paul is somewhere behind him but not that he's following him yet*

*although Dwayne, as someone unlikely to be hurt by an out-of-control werewolf, used to watch his transformations, so it wouldn't surprise him if Paul did follow him this time*

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

*After the incident back in California, Paul is a little hesitant, but after a few seconds of quick thought he hurries after th boy. He wants to be sure the kid gets to where he's going... And if he doesn't get there in time, he could see if the kid wouldn't perhaps follow him like before, if so he could be sure to lead him somewhere 'safe'*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*is out on the grounds now, moving faster as there are fewer obstacles in his path, making a beeline for the castle courtyard where the Whomping Willow is hidden*

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

*glances warily up toward the sky, even with the potions he took the dwindling sunlight itched on his skin, but he ignored the discomfort as he stalked after Jei... Though once he noticed the kid was heading toward the courtyard he started to get a better idea of where he was headed, remembering (a bit wistfully) the conversation he'd had before with Dwayne about all this*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*rounds the corner, going out of sight toward the tree*

*in the meantime, the sun's lower edge slips behind the western hills, and the castle casts a long shadow across the ground*


[[Continue in Yamino's thread above?]]

[80smusicforever.livejournal.com]

*quickens his pace a bit to work on catching up a bit closer to Jei, though he's pretty sure he knows the kid's end destination, he wasn't positive on how to get from where he was to there the way the kid was heading, though Dwayne had said before it had something to do with that annoying tree*

[[Yush. ^^]]

[shirayukiwitch.livejournal.com]

*Sees Jei and shivers at the aura*

*Makes a mental note to talk to him*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*senses that she's nearby and almost pauses, but it's too late in the day*


*although the way things are going, it'll be good, later on, to be able to count on her.....*

[kid8dik.livejournal.com]

*is pushed past on his way to the Ravenclaw dorms and narrows his eyes at the sinister aura whipping past him, golden eyes lingering on Jei as the second year continued onward*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*just thinks THERE'S THAT LOUD PERSON AGAIN, having resigned himself ages ago to Kid's eternal search for perfection; doesn't particularly care, at this point, that he's being watched*


[[Laaawl, things must get interesting in the Ravenclaw common room when everyone's trying to study in THEIR OWN INIMITABLE WAYS. XDDDD]]

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

*not in the direct path.... but who can't feel such a strong aura from a wee ways away?*

... Jei? *worried, but there isn't a chance to inquire*

*tries to trail after the boy*

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*hears, but is really, really late and sunset is coming up, and so elects not to answer just then*

*is moving fast, but has to pause now and then to stop from bouncing off walls and people, and thus isn't too hard to follow*

[mailorderwizard.livejournal.com]

*follows Jei with some difficulty for a little bit, afraid to call out again after being ignored the first time... (and just worrying even more that the lack of response from his friend...) eventually spotting Paul who also seems to be following the boy*

[[TBC on Paul's thread I guess ^^]]

[jeitaken.livejournal.com]

*is too far ahead of Paul to be aware of Yamino anymore, though it will occur to him tomorrow to wonder what he was calling him about*

[[Sounds good to me!]]
