Wei smiled and took the sandwich from Aurix, biting into it. Peanut butter and banana. Clearly the most superior sandwich flavor. It's also one of the few varieties of sandwich he could eat. Or, to be more accurate, liked to eat.

He watched their stare-down with intrigue, chewing slowly on peanut butter and intermittent slices of banana, taking an occasional sip of Earl Gray. He didn't mind the lack of sugar--that was just how he took his tea anyway. Not that he was ever allowed to add sugar to his tea back home anyway.

"No, it's okay." He said, curling his toes in the grass. "I don't mind Swinger."

Once he finished his sandwich and tea, he broke the small loaf of banana bread into fourths, shoving a fourth of it into his mouth. It didn't taste as good as Hari's banana bread, but it still tasted amazing, like a gift from the gods. He wondered if he could go back in time to the man who first tried to put bananas into a bread form and shake his hand.

All of a sudden Aurillia and Aurix were talking together in a strangely harmonious surround sound. It was more than a little jarring to hear one of them start a sentence only to have the other cut in to finish it, switching off every now and again until they were so in sync that their voices layered on top of each other.

Yeah. He could definitely see how this would be creepy.

"Uh," thinking for several moments, he finally shrugged. "I don't know. I don't think I'm really good at anything... other than gym. But you can't go to college for gym. Well, I guess you could, but it seems like a waste of time."

His finger traced the lip of the empty teacup in front of him. "I always did kinda wanna be a psychiatrist, though."

He nodded enthusiastically when they asked about China. "Yes, I'm Chinese. There are a lot of ruins around where I grew up--in Turpan City. I used to climb them at night... One time, when I decided to explore inside, I found an amulet and a jade ring! The amulet gave me weird visions and then broke, but I kept the ring for a long time! 'Till my brother sold it..."

Aurix at his sandwich and Aurillia kept enjoying her tea. She was humming to herself as a gentle breeze floated through her hair. She let out a sigh of relief as she looked up into the sky that was covered with tree branches.

"Oh, he doesn't have a problem with it? Then... 'Swinger'. " Aurillia said with a giggle. Thinking it was fun to say. The twins both looked at each others with smile. Almost agreeing that it fit. They both looked back at Wei. Aurillia having to use a hand to move her hair out of her face. "Gym class was always fun. We were more into history ourselves, that's what we both take in college. Well, you could do teaching for gym, OR become a personal fitness trainer!" They both said at once.

Then Aurillia started to talk. "Well, you could make a great Psychiatrist!"

Aurix then listened to Wei. "Yeah.. Small trinkets like that do interest us. We got a lot that we are cataloging back at our.. Research base." He said with a grin and a thumbs up. Trying to be really cool for the High school student. Then his head jerked forward as a blue hand hit him in the back of the skull. "It's our room.. We still got a few boxes and we keep what we have with the history teacher who tries to find out what it is."

"Your brother seems like more of a jerk than mine." Aurillia said. Then looked at her brother. "No offense."

"ALL OFFENSE TAKEN!" He said looking angrily at her sister. Then a smile was on their face as they laughed for a moment.

"So Wei, got any special powers? Or is being the worlds smartest Monkey make you cool?" Aurillia said with a smile.

A little smile crept onto his face when Aurillia picked up the Swinger nickname. He did like to swing from trees and branches, so it seemed apt enough a nickname for him.

Admittedly, he had considered being a gym teacher, but at the same time he didn't consider teaching gym to be something that... interesting. There were ways to innovate sure, as there always were, but there was always a degree of restriction in just the right way to make Wei feel uncomfortable. He couldn't count the times in gym where most of the class had just been them doing laps. He hated doing laps.

"Wait... research base? You guys have a research base?!" No one told him that college students got research bases! That was hardly fair, what if he wanted a research base?

Of course he was disheartened to know that Aurix had just been kidding. Still, a monkey could dream.

"Oh, no, I don't blame him. The ring was totally cursed." He said casually, finishing off his food and cleaning his face with his hand. "It gave me weird dreams. Plus the money was nice. Solid jade is worth a lot in Turpan."

Wei hopped to his feet when they asked about any special powers that he had. He was always eager to share his ability with other people, even though it was a rather difficult power to put on display. "I can summon spirits," he said, wiggling his fingers like he he'd just told a spooky story. "I can use them to help me or curse other people... but I'm not that good at it.

"A little while back I accidentally summoned the spirit of forgetting how to get somewhere, and I ended up being late to one of Octain's classes. And... screaming while I ran down the hall, but... that wasn't the spirit's fault."

Even if the research base was a lie. Aurix thought it was. Since they pretty much worked all the time and it was times where they pulled each other off of work for the day to do anything. They both smiled at each other. Then at their new friend. They were happy they met someone new.

"We do plan on getting a room to do these things, like a lab of some sort. We just.. Don't have enough members of a teacher willing to hold our meetings.. We need 4 members and a teacher to make a club, all we got is.. Us two." Aurillia said, a bit disheartened.

Aurix scoffed at the cursed ring. "I remember this one time.. I put on a crown and it was cursed.. I ended up thinking I was King Tut for 3 days." He said laughing. He then stopped for a moment. Though the weird dreams part kind of intrigued Aurix and Aurillia.

They thought summoning spirits was a cool idea. "We can both.." Aurillia teleported to the ground and spun around gracefully on rock. "Teleport to where we can see or remember. Any changes after that though.. We.. Kind of... Have to look around again." Aurix said trying not to remember the last time he went to the guys washroom and it turned into a girls dressing room for a play. "We also have a loose grasp on magic in general. We are bad at it and it tends to blow back at us."

They both visibly cringed at Wei. "You got it light in that class. The last time someone was late in the morning class. They were teleported into the girls locker room when the door was touched. The person came back the next day with broken bones and burns." Aurillia said blinking a few times. Remembering that it was someone they met. "We also know that.. Octain has a daughter."

"She's kinda cute."

"We are her babysitters now."

Wei was confused when they mentioned needing a set number of people to book a roo for what they seemed to be calling some kind of club. When he set up DANCE!!! he hadn't needed any minimum members, he just said that he would get members as the club progressed. He started it with just himself, and now it had three members.

(Well he didn't like to acknowledge one of the members because she was a racist bitch but still. Three members.)

Still with eyes aglow in wonder he watched as the twins put on a display of their powers for him. He'd never seen people teleport like that. Well, that wasn't quite true, he'd seen Kaya do it a lot--that seemed to be her main means of getting around for reasons he honestly, really couldn't fathom--but this was the first time he'd seen it done when he wasn't suffering from some kind of allergic reaction.

All in all? It looked pretty cool.

A shudder rolled down his spine.

"I managed to get in before he activated the rune on the door though, so I guess that might be why I got off better than you?"

Talking to the twins was turning out to be more fun that he expected.

"I actually have a lot of different powers! Mostly its just because of the spirits, but I can also make copies of myself, and I can make me staff longer too!"

Watcher · May 23, 2015

"Spirits are cool! You use a staff as a weapon and make copies of yourself?" Aurix said.

"Except for ones who....." Aurillia said blushing profusely. Holding her skirt down. "S-S-See girls' underwear...." She said then physically slapping Aurix.

"I wasn't laughing!" He said.

"IN YOUR HEAD YOU WERE!" She said. Looking right pissed at Aurix then with a big huff she looked away.

"Well.. Octain is a good guy he's just.. Got a lot goin' on." Aurix said laying down on the ground as he closed his eyes. "His daughters a cute kid. Kind of a kluts. But she's fun to babysit sometimes. When she isn't trying to break your arm because you said no ice cream."

"Well you earned that one Aurix."

Aurillia and Aurix looked at eachother. Staff... Longer?

Monkey boy..

THEIR OTAKU WOULD SHOW. "Kakarot!?" They said with a giggle to each other. "Though you can do some cool things Wei! We'd love to see it sometime!"

Zell · May 24, 2015

"Spirits are cool! You use a staff as a weapon and make copies of yourself?"

The monkey boy nodded, pleased that someone else thought his powers were interesting. As more and more time went on, he started to notice that he was lower and lower on the rung of students with powers. There were people here who could do things that even in his wildest, most fantastical dreams he couldn't fathom. More and more the little monkey found himself feeling out of place.

It was a saddening, weird feeling.

He forced himself to brighten up. He was with a couple of cool people. Now was not the time to have a pity party of one.

"His daughter..." He thought about it. Wei prided himself on knowing most of the people in the school, but he could say with much certainty that he had never met Octain's daughter. It felt like that was something he would remember very vividly. Though, that being said, if she was wearing a mask like her dad it was very possible that he would have forcibly suppressed that memory.

A shudder went through his body.

Masks...

The monkey child was more than a little taken aback when the twins yelled out simultaneously at him. He felt like he'd done something wrong. "K...Kak... Kakarot?" He echoed. "What... who's...?"

"Is that... like, some kind of magical spell?"
