Chill Out(Open)

[Nathan Branigan]

It had only been his first month in Paragon Institute, but Nathan Branigan already hated it. The fighting, the stupidity, the lack of a sense of humor, all of these things got to him. He would see several fights every day and no one would even give it a second glance. It was normal to them. They were all delinquents after all. However, Nathan was not. He had been taught since the time he could understand any sort of language to do the right thing, to be a good person. That did not mean that he held everyone else to the same standard, but such chaos bothered Nathan. He wasn't comfortable in his new environment. Hircine was his school and that it would remain even if he was at Paragon now. To spite what the school system said, Nathan was a Timber Wolf.

At Hircine, people had always been opposed for delinquent acts. The Pillars dealt swiftly with any real problems within their immediate control; gangs like Revelation were barely able to cause isolated events of chaos, even then only because the pillars had lost absolute control.

Paragon was not the same, the opposite in fact. It embraced what Hircine condemned. And that was the problem.

It was no different of a day than normal for Paragon, fights everywhere. This time, however, at least some resistance would be heard. Not to be a major event, but merely for the well-being of one students conscience. Nathan was at his locker, grabbing his chemistry book out of his locker. A horrible class, but one he needed for his last science credit. Two students in his area began to quarrel over a trivial matter. One had stepped on the other's white Nike's, resulting in a black streak over the side of the shoe. As usual, a few inappropriate words were exchanged to build up the tension. Quickly following this, a fist was thrown, the fight had begun. Within seconds the two were on the ground, pounding at each other with all their might. Nathan merely sighed. He could tolerate this no longer. He needed an outlet.

Without a second to think over his actions, he walked over the fire extinguisher across from his locker and prepared it for use. Aiming directly at the students, he readied himself. "You two need to chill out" he said in a calm, calculating manner. They quickly stopped in shock, covered in the material. They immediately got up and joined forces to attack their mutual enemy. "You're dead!"

Needless to say, the opposite was true. Nathan readied himself for the two brawlers as they advanced directly at him, united in their anger.

[Aden Allett]

Average days came and went in Hircine, while Aden still attended. The days of rebellion seemed to have gone to calm, leaving everything peaceful. It was with the transfer to Paragon that things had truly lit up. The new school had been open for a short while, but that didn’t stop the students from facing off with each other. What one school gave dire consequence, the other embraced. It was a complete one-eighty to what some had been used to. However, such a drastic change was only for the better, in Aden’s eyes. The boring life he had experienced at hircine was now gone, replaced with that of excitement.

Rounding the corner, Aden made sight of a small squabble. This was a regular thing already, but it was what happened as he approached, that caused him to cock an eyebrow. The two students started beating on each other, nothing out of the ordinary, but it was soon calmed by that of a fire extinguisher. Aden, being close by, lifted his left arm to black any of the output from hitting his eyes, with only the front of the lower half of his body being covered.

“The hell?”

He murmured to himself, as he brushed the shit from his pants, now slightly damp. He looked back up at the group, noticing the third man with the extinguisher, obviously being the one t cause his clothes to be in their now damp state. It wasn’t something Aden particularly enjoyed having done to him, but he soon lost care for it as he watched the two men attempt to attack the one by his lonesome. Aden was all about force getting things done, but he was a fair man. Two versus one wasn’t exactly what Aden called fair and he wasn’t one to leave someone in need.

He walked up to the man on the left of him, his back turned as he faced “The Extinguisher,” as Aden called him in his head. He grabbed hard on the mans right shoulder using his left arm and used his left leg to get the back of the mans right knee, causing his balance to falter. The man found himself thrown on his back, a foot the landing on his diaphragm, the wind being blown out of his body. His foot stayed on top, hard, leaving little air for the attacker.

The scene caught the eye of the second attacker, now staring at Aden. He paid no attention, shifting his gaze from the man he had on the floor to “The Extinguisher.”

“Figured you’d like a little help.” He said in a smug tone, stomping on the man as he tried to squirm his way free.

[Ayal Nissim]

Improvisation, reaction, and outside assistance... Couldn't be executed any better.

Ayal smiled a little. He had seen the fight break out at this American hell zone, and it had been rather... what was the best word...? Interesting. This was a lousy school, and it was nothing like the brochure he had read on the plane. However, there was one amazing thing about this school that made Ayal Nissim relax a little;
No one had a gun.
While this may seem out ot the ordinary for any student out of America(with the possible exception of Harlem), but Ayal Nissim wasn't exactly American. He was full-blooded Israeli, and full-blooded Krav commando. Of course, Ayal did feel a little naked without his Beretta or his combat knife, but that was nothing Ayal couldn't overcome with a few months of American school. He shuffled over as quietly as he could in his combat boots (sans the steel toe; A middle-eastern guy with any metal on him was probably going to get "processed" by airport security) and started talking in the only way he knew how.
"That was an excellent use of natural resources to aid in a potentially problematic situation, very clever." Ayal stated, matter-of-factly; In fact, it probably sounded more like he was addressing a superior combat officer than a high school student, but that was how Ayal was geared.
"Ayal Nissim, pleasure to meet you."

[Nathan Branigan]

'One down, one to go.'

Someone had come to Nathan's aid and had taken out one of the thugs for him, but the other still remained. He was charging at Nathan with full force and intent on taking him down. He seemed to forget one thing however, Nathan still had the advantage, the fire extinguisher. Not hesitating for an instant, he aimed it directly at the charging student and sprayed him with the extinguisher. He would be blinded and unable to defend himself. The second he got within range, Nathan hit him head on with the object, sending the student on his back. A little over board for Nathan's usual conduct, but he wasn't in the mood for courtesy.

Satisfied with the outcome, he turned to the student that helped him. "Thanks for the help man. Even if it wasn't all that necessary. They were just chumps" he said, dropping the extinguisher on the ground.

Before he had the chance to introduce himself, another student arrived, complimenting him on his 'excellent use of natural resources'. "Thanks, name's Nathan Branigan. Sorry for not shaking, but now isn't really the time". He then turned to back the student that helped him, "And you would be?"

OOC: Happy now Kyle?

[Aden Allett]

Aden took notice as the man before him was attacked by the other thug. The bloke took a face full of the extinguisher chemical before being thrashed with the extinguisher itself. The student fell to the ground, groaning in pain, the other thrashing from time to time, trying to get him up. Aden would occasionally plow his foot into the chest of the man to calm him down, in a sense. The man who had intervened turned to Aden, thanking him for his help in an appreciative tone.

“It was no problem.”

As the exchanged words, another man appeared on the scene, complimented The Extinguisher for his little show. The man introduced himself as Ayal Nissim, obviously a new student to Paragon; he seemed to be a foreigner. The other man with the extinguisher introduced himself as Nathan Branigan. He had heard the name before around Hircine, so it wasn’t as though he was new, but they had never met face to face. Addressing Aden, he asked for his name.

“Aden Allett; nice to meet you.”

OOC: Sorry for length.
