Detchitoyo High School: Freshmen Year, Q. 1

[GnomeWorks]

Kryptonite simply shakes her head at the teacher's words. Skilled, yes, powerful, maybe... but evil? Not likely. And what is he talking about, anyway? Is this philosophy, or mysticism?

J.K.: Raya says "Ya, I have the same biology teacher. He's a little odd. I wonder what's up with that penguin thing. It sorta reminds me of the old biology teacher, though I only saw him once outside of school. Other then my other required classes, my other elective is German 1."

Meanwhile, in philosophy: "What! Him! How could this happen? I knew that when Jekt disappeared for a week he would do something stupid. But who? Who would egg him on? I must consider this. And why is he here?" He begins muttering to himself for about 5 minutes, starts, and begins teaching class.

And after all this, the bell rings, announcing the beginning of lunch.

Satisfaction resides in the mind behind Thomas' neutral mask as the Philosiphy teacher plans action.

Hmm, maybe I can pry some information from the old man, his ramblings suggest there is more to him than inane superstitions.

When the bell rings he approaches the old priest with a few questions in mind. The zone of cool air travels with him as per normal.

"Excuse me, sir, but I can't help but be curious about what you said in relation to the Biology teacher. Is there something I should be concerned about if attending his class? And if I may be so bold: Who is this Jekt person and what would he have to do with this?" Thomas asks flatly.

J.K. reluctantly waves Raya goodbye and goes looking for his friends.
"Hi guys! So what's up today? I couldn't find Roichi in the whole school. What did you do to him, Lugh? What about your...disease Kryptonite?" he looks around to see if anybody is listening to them "Are you feeling better today? I'm going to the Nature's Friends meeting tonight, so monday you'll all know if they are up to something. Or should I rather call you during the weekend?"

 

[Kalanyr]

"Greetings J.K., nothing permanent, nothing that would last even this long. I suppose he's avoiding us until he can ward himself against me. Monday works for me, I suspect I will be otherwise occupied, this weekend. "

Kryptonite's fingers continue clicking on the keyboard. "I'm doing better... almost over it now. The symptoms are quite aggressive..." She sniffles, then winks at JK.

Thomas: "Hmmm?" Looking around, waiting for the class to clear, "Ah, one fiend ignorant of another? Well, you don't seem too bad, and you can yet be saved, so I will confide in you this knowledge. I've known people from all of the planes, and there are always breaks in stereotypes. Now, Jekt was one of the Biology teachers for our school. He was a retired Demon Hunter that traveled the planes, slaying evil where he found it. He disappeared for this week, right? And now this new teacher comes in, rather quickly, to replace him. Odd, no? I wish to know more of this situation, to see if it was karma, or something greater happened. And Belial? From what I remember Jekt telling me, he used to be a greater Demon Lord, ruling his own plane, until the plaine instated a democracy as it's ruling government. Now, Belial is just seen as an old, respected and retired leader, to the demons. Why am I telling you this? Because I believe that knowledge can save you. I don't know him, but I do know that he is a demon. Hopefully what you now know can protect you. Now, I must think on this situation." He turns away and walks towards his desk, takes his seat behind it, and begins to meditate.

Hmm, the old man is painfully observant, he knows his game well then... but saving me? At least he can't go digging in my head like that damn pixie. My path is mine alone, I choose my direction and I'll not react kindly should he try to dictate where I go. Regardless, I should help him if only for my own benefit.

"I am under the distinct impression that you need not go far to find Jekt, sir. Belial has an assistant with some distinct similarities to your missing friend," Thomas hands over the information in exchange for what the teacher gave him, "This matter seems unrelated to me, but I am willing to assist where I can be deemed useful. Thankyou for your time, sir, I'm sure you you know how to get in contact."

Thomas takes his leave to lunch with briefcase in hand.

Damien trails through the hallways, dripping water on the floor. He finds the others at lunch and sits down with a slightly squishy noise. He gets a funny look on his face and reaches down inside his shirt to pull out half an eel, which he drops on the floor next to him.

"Don't ask."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Thomas notes Damien's curious condition.

Maybe my petty revenge isn't necessery after... whatever that was. We shall see.

Thomas takes another swig of his soft drink, and keeps listening to what people are saying around him.
