Party in the MCI

Red was fine, if only a bit insane. Celeste didn't actually see a problem with him "stretching his legs", though, so she didn't do anything to stop him.

"Well then, uh, have fun!", Celeste said, gesturing around her.

The grip on her hand was actually a bit unsettling, though. She pulled away her hand, without any subtlety. Red was fine, but still insane. Not quite a person that she wanted to be actual friends with. Of course, she was crazy herself, but.. this was different.

The clumsy one's reactions showed that she was not going to be much fun, at least not at the moment. The smaller male though seemed that he could be a potential accomplice on the other hand, or a fall guy. It honestly depended on how things went.

The only problem was how to get rid of the girl? That it seemed would solve itself though as another joined the group. This new fellow who was wondering if they were having fun seemed to then promptly turn his attention to the girl.

"Yes, great. Wonderful. Though you two," Red emphasized the words you two as he pushed James and Celeste together and then slightly away from him, "seem like you would get along amazingly."

He waited until they were finally out of earshot, ignoring whatever else they had to say as they were now irrelevant, before finally turning his attention back to River.

"Yeah, he is terrified of the stuff. Takes life pretty easy just because of it." He raised an eyebrow slightly at the blood licking but said nothing, as it was something he would have done himself if the situation had been reversed. "And you are right, I am not afraid."

He paused for a moment and thought about what to say next and decided to just fill in the blanks about his name and why he was the 'fun one'

"As for my name it is indeed an interesting story, and one that proves why I am the better of me and him." Nodding at his own words he just kept going. "You see we were in class, and the idiot cuts up his hand pretty bad. It bleeds a lot so he starts to freak out!"

Red waved his hand about a bit, mimicking the reaction Hudson would have had.

"Everyone started to laugh at him and he goes light headed, and then it was lights out. Cue my entrance, stage left." he bowed as he said this. "The red right hand, or Red for short. The people were laughing at us, at ME. So I broke them, I used our gift and made sure that they would think twice about laughing at me ever again. Hudson wakes up to a room full of broken people crying for mercy and blood EVERYWHERE. He already couldn't stand the site of the stuff but now it actually made him sick."

Red could see that River was opening his mouth to ask a question, probably about what there gift was, so he acted fast. He waited till the other's mouth was open wide enough and ran two of his fingers of the right hand along those sharp looking teeth. Quick enough so the other couldn't bite down on them, but hard enough to cut deep enough to draw blood. Holding his hand up to the now silent boy Red showed him the blood that was pooling there.

Next he put his hand palm down, in a manner that would usually cause the blood to drip to the ground, instead it stayed pooled as it was for at least a few more moments. Then it started to bleed more as it collected around his hand, moving as if it was alive.

"THIS is our gift. Blood manipulation, somewhat ironic it would seem. Maybe fate has a sense of humour after all." The blood stayed there, moving with his hand almost as if it was a second skin of sorts. "I can use it as a weapon, form objects out of it. All that fun stuff."

The Cheshire like grin on his face was now almost ear to ear.

River wasn't jealous of Red's seeming focus on the juice-spilling girl, but he had already reached a similar conclusion that she would not provide much more entertainment than she already had. So he was relieved when the new guy showed up and Red pushed them together. At least this guy was perceptive.

And apparently unphased by River lapping at his own blood, which was another point in his favour. Not that the half-demon actually got anything out of the action - he couldn't feed off himself, but it did taste good and kept his arm clean.

From what Red was saying, being more interesting than Hudson was not a difficult feat. One that even the clumsy girl might have managed. The boy could barely comprehend how someone could live taking it easy enough to avoid seeing blood. As he had said - even sports had the risk. But then again, maybe an artist... River thought about asking, but he didn't care right this moment.

The fact that Red had apparently hurt a lot of people didn't phase him. The half-demon wasn't actually that brutal - he killed his victims one-on-one, and a lot of that had to do with the way he fed, but he still found Red's level of violence entertaining. He laughed at the whole name and had actually been about to comment that the Red Right Hand sounded like an awesome name for a super villain sidekick when Red reached into his mouth.

Caught off guard by the unexpected action, River instinctively snapped his teeth down, but the guy was lucky enough to avoid having his fingers bitten off. The demonic boy his through his teeth like an angry cat, not very happy about being teased with food when he was so hungry, but his grin only widened. It may have been annoying, but it also amused him to be underestimated.

With a sudden motion, he pinned the taller boy against a nearby wall by the shoulders. Red was only human, and River was not, he was easily the strongest of the two of them. His grip was loose, his smile was light, and he spoke quietly - it should look like some friendly teasing and not like a fight was about to break out.

"That was either brave or stupid. You really shouldn't provoke a hungry demon. I've k-fought bigger people than you, and I would've clawed you if you asked." In fact, he was barely resisting the urge to dig his talons into Red's shoulders. He'd only intended to give the guy a warning, but having him pinned was damn tempting after forcing himself to feed off animals.

The smile slipped off his face briefly, but he held back. It was too public. They were at a party. River was coated in sweat and his heart was racing - he was pretty sure it wasn't just because of the drug still in his system.

Zeyn tapped his chin in a contemplative manner. "Hm.. I don't really think there is anything that rhymes with it." He said with a chuckle. He absentmindedly picked up an apple and tossed it from hand to hand. "I'd have gone straight for the junk food, but I do need to keep myself in shape for dance classes." He sighed with fake melancholy before he shot Kendi a grin. "Then again, candy does sound nice." Zeyn said with a laugh.

He took a bite of the apple and then grimaced. It was green, sour things weren't exactly his favorite. Zeyn frowned at the offending apple, his brows knit together as he contemplated the many interesting ways he could dispose of such an offending fruit.

(Oh god, so much writers block x.x)

Kendi gave a short giggle as she finished up loading her plate with meat slices of all sizes. "Ah well, I'm a dancer not a singer so it's no scales off of my back." Listening as Zeyn explained that he'd eat the junk foods it made Kendi giggle again before taking one of the longer slices of meat and tilting her head back let it slide down her throat with ease and licked her lips once she felt it slide into her stomach. "I myself have to feed for me and the tail." Kendi slid a hand down her hips to where her tail started.

When Zeyn shot her a grin and said that candy did sound nice to have Kendi simply smiled and lowered her torso so it was more inline with his and wrapped an arm around his. "Well, I guess that depends on what sort of topping's you'd prefer to add. I myself have found that chocolate or warm caramel has a nice taste to it." Kendi simply kept up an 'innocent' smile. When she saw that Zeyn was angry with his apple she offered him a slice of meat from her plate. "Here, you probably need the protein."
