Showing The New Kid Around

Graffiti was a relatively new hobby for Evie, one she'd only really started doing after hanging out with Estella. She wasn't very good at it, as anyone could tell by looking, but she certainly found it fun, more fun than math class at the very least.

Which was why she found herself in the hallway of the school building, when she was supposed to be in class. She had planted herself on the ceiling, can of white spray paint in hand, looking around her every now and then to make sure no wandering teachers spotted her. She was currently in the process of drawing her own rendition of the campus security guard who had busted her a couple of times, which looked like a very messy stick figure with dirty hair and a speech bubble that just said "Urrggghhh".

A masterful work of art, truly.

She glanced around again once she put the finishing touches on her creation. Classes wouldn't be finished for another 30 minutes or so, she figured she maybe had time for a couple more as long as she wasn't interrupted.

@Max!!

Evie blinked twice, looking down just as Alaric rounded the corner. She looked like she was about to leap away, but once she recognised the boy she cracked a smirk.

"Well, if it isn't the horny boy!" She hopped off the ceiling, performing a graceful spin in the air and landing both feet back on the ground. "I'm just helping decorate the school. These hallways are really drab huh?"

Evie walked over next to him, before looking back upon her work, making a rectangle with her fingers and thumbs and framing the drawing with them.

"Now its like captain hardass is always looking down on us, keeping the school safe from miscreants like me. I'm sure he'll appreciate it."

Giggling, she then turned to face Alaric, hands crossing behind her back, rocking back and forth on her heels.

"What about you? Classes aren't done yet, you taking a toilet break?"

There wasn't much to size up, Evie stood much shorter than the young dragon, and even with the toned muscle visible, it was clear she was much scrawnier than he was. She just gave another smug smile in response to his question.

"Yeah, probably. But hey! There's no fun in breaking the rules if there's no risk in getting caught, right? That's like, half the fun!"

She looked like she was just about to continue, but just as she did the sound of another door opening could be heard, further down the hallway. Instead of speaking, she simply moved to grab Alaric by the hand and pulled him towards the closest door out of the school building.

"I'm guessing you don't mind that too much," She said, quietly, standing next to a door leading outside. "Otherwise you'd be in class with everyone else right?"

She pushed open the door, leading to outside, causing her to shiver just a little bit at the cold weather.

"So what'cha doin' out here Alaric?" She asked, that same smug expression visible on her face, making it clear she was well aware of his current truancy.

Evie blinked, pausing for a second to think whether she heard him correctly.

"Uh, did you just have a stroke there or something dude?"

Giggling, she leaned back against the wall of the building. By now, she was starting to get used to the island, the school. But it was still pretty fuckin' weird, so she could understand any mild bewilderment that he might feel.

"Well, if you wanna have a look around," She stood back up straight, adopting a mock air of sophistication. "Then allow me to be the responsible senior that I clearly am and show you around."

She deeply bowed, flourishing her hand in an exaggerated manner, before dropping the act and giggling again. She walked over towards the wall, planted her foot against it and began walking right up along the building. She held out her hand to Alaric, intending to pull him up along with her.

"C'mon, let's check out the roof."

"Hey. Come on." She smirked. "You're the accomplice here, I'm clearly the one running the show."

Evie let go once he was on the wall, her powers still remaining in effect, letting Alaric follow her up without her needing to pull him along. She rested her hands on her head as she strolled up.

"Magic? Naaaah. I don't think its magic anyway."

She frowned to herself briefly.

"I dunno. I think I was just born with weird powers. Maybe my parents were aliens or something. Maybe I got bit by a radioactive bug and now I'm a weird mutant girl. Who knows."

Questions of what her powers were and why she had them were things she hadn't really considered before coming to the island. Before learning about life beyond the veil she always just assumed she was special and left it at that.

"What I do know is that they let me fuck with the laws of gravity. Like this!"

She then proceeded to cartwheel up the remainder of the wall, rolling along until she was close to the roof, before jumping over the edge, readjusting her gravity and spinning in midair, landing both feet on the lip of the roof. She looked down at Alaric from the top and grinned.

"Pretty cool, huh?"

Once he also reached the roof, she readjusted his gravity as well, letting him stand up with her.
