Setting Stage(Revelation)

[Aina Swanbeck]

There was so much that she could have been done at this time...oh so much. Aina could have been having a manicure or could have gotten her hair done! But noooooo! She just HAD to be at this stupid meeting at a stupid bar! -Sigh- It seemed like the poor blonde would never be happy. Like seriously, she might be rich and have everything she wanted, but she still deserved oh so much more! God! Aina deserved the world! Though, sadly, her daddy didn't have enough money for it. He should work harder! She DESERVED it after all. But yes, any who.

It was dark out now, the selfish blonde walked slowly towards this placed called the Lion's Tooth bar. The gang that she had joined a while ago, called Revelation, was having another meeting there. Most, and probably all of the important members would probably be there to listen to what Seth had to say. Hopefully it would be important enough so that she wouldn't be wasting her time, but of course, she would not know that until the meeting was actually in course.

While walking through the darkness, the busty blonde could now see the bar where people already seemed to be coming inside. Someone was at the door, inspecting everyone and making sure that they were, in fact, from Revelation. How they did that? Well, by checking their necklaces which Aina always had on because she thought it was cute and matched with her new attire.
She was now at the door, looking at the big man before her as he was obviously looking to see if she had the necklace.
"Oh! Right." she said as she pulled the necklace out from her shirt and showed it to him. The man nodded and opened the door for her as she giggled inside.

They were meeting at this place? What the hell was so special about here? It just looked like a normal bar to her, no? Wow, if SHE was leader, she would get her daddy to buy her a big fancy bar! But oh well, she was not leader and would have to accept what was before her. "Like what the hell. This place is totally not any different then like, any other bar." she hissed under her breath as she sat down on a bar stool; her elbow to the counter as she rested her head on her hand. She would now have to wait until everyone would show up and Seth would be ready to give his message or whatever.

[Kabuto Takada]

Bear was content.
Tonight he'd get answers for the questions that had been plauging him.He sipped from his beer bottle.The people were begining to pile in to the place,all different people.Blacks,White,Asian,European.All of em.

He breathed out.He was tired and anxious.He hadn`t done anything significant since the theft of the radios.He wished that Seth would send him on another mission.He needed to fill the time.He went to class,did his work.He got by.But when he was out there doing stuff for this gang,he felt like the missing piece had been slotted into place.

He placed his beer on the bar,swiveled on his bar stool and leaned with his elbows on the bar.He looked to the door as an attractive blond girl walked in and sat down next to him.
Hmmm,Interesting...
Now Bear didn`t consider himself a player,or really that good looking,but hey he'd give it a shot.

He turned to the woman.

"The names Bear.How long have you been a part of this fine organisation?" he said in a relaxed tone.

[zeke]

Zeke had shown up early, due to his speed. He flashed the necklace to the guard, and went in. Not many people were here yet, so he figured he had some time to spare. He then saw a girl sitting at the bar. Zeke still hadn't gotten a chance to meet anyone, particularly girls, so he figured he'd talk to her.

"Hey, I'm Zeke. Are you in Revelation too?"

Zeke knew full well she was, but he wanted to start up conversation. It was at this point he realized that Bear was walking towards them.

[Mae-Lim]

"Remind me why I'm even going?" Mae-Lim asked, walking along the side-walk accompanied by her favourite little lap-dog, Logan. The boy looked at her nervously, cracking a smile and trying to desperately find the answer.
"B-because you're one of the H-Hor-Horsemen?"

Mae-Lim seemed to ponder it before giving a shrug. "Yeah."

Good enough! Logan seemed to smile in relief, looking forward as they approached the Lion's Tooth. Mae-Lim seemed to stall at the door, almost as if she needed prodding to go in. There was just that eerie feeling you get. You know? Like you know something horrible will happen. How silly of her to forget. Everyone LOVED to annoy her, that's what it was. Three people in particular sadly and there was no doubt two of them would be there. 'Please god let that 'other one' not be there...'

The man at the door hadn't even bothered to check if she was Revelation or not. That fact was pretty obvious. He couldn't see the necklace, being stuffed in her turtle-necked shirt as it usually was, but, he'd become familiar with the girl by now. How could one forget her?
Mae took a hold on the handle, pulling it back. Logan seemed to watch her with interest, like she was some kind of lab rat demonstrating outrageous behaviour. And then, she opened the door, her eyes lowered.
"Shit."

What was the first thing she saw? Nothing other then the blotch of blond sitting at the table. She seemed to be getting a bit of attention from the members and Mae-Lim could almost smile at that. MAYBE this meant the cheerleader wouldn't notice her. For some odd reason, Aina truly believed Mae was her best friend. 'How cruel fate can be.'

"Um. You going in, Mae?"

Mae-Lim soon realised, thanks to the help of the nervous thing behind her, that she had been simply standing there at the door. She gave a few blinks, replying with a brief "Er, yeah" before entering the premises. Logan followed suit after, heading off towards the direction of the table where Aina and co. were at. He didn't take a seat however. Instead he simply hovered about like that fairy from Zelda, wandering about uselessly. He wasn't too sure what he was doing but, no doubt, Aina had a certain something that attracted his attention. Much like many of the other members.

Mae watched him with an unnoticable smirk, shaking her head at the stupidity she found in the male species. She turned then and headed for "THE" table. Where, she pretty much assumed was where the other Horsemen would be seated. Otherwise it would just be a seat for now and she'd go to wherever the other two went whenever she'd see them or they arrived.

[Conner]

(OOC: I'm assuming this is the plotline meeting Seth was talking about.)

"...and like that-- I ripped that shit right off!"

Conner grinned, his left hand pulling back to empahsize his words while the other hand was occupied with a beer. When he was finished, several other Revelation members closest to him began to cheer, laughing as the passed more drinks around. Had a few of them not brought their backpacks to the bar, it may have looked less like a bunch of high school students, and more like Vikings at a mead hall.

As the laughs started to fade down, Conner's eyes drifted over the crowd that had formed around 'the table.' His smile broadened as he saw Mae-Lim and that weird guy that always followed her. He raised his beer in the air, motioning for the girl.

"Mae! Mae! Come over here! We're talking about how awesome I am."

Conner burst into laughter again, knocking his beer with another next to him as several of the more rowdy members began to drink with him. They were easily the louder than everyone else in the bar put together. His grin faded into a smile as he began to look around for Seth. He didn't expect August to show up, but it was unlike Seth to be late for his own meeting. Oh well, not that he cared. Conner would get free drinks in the meantime, who the hell would complain to that?

"C'mere!" Conner yelled again, motioning at the ever reluctant Mae-Lim once more.

[Kayar]

Kayar had a rough time getting out of his apartment. Harry wanted to know where he kept going, which was surprising. Normally Harry didn't seem to care much about anything.
"Where th' hell d'ya think yer goin', kid?"

"Out," he said simply. "Why, you need something while I'm gone?"

"Well... we're outta milk..." the fat man mused on it a little, scratching his stubble of beard.

"Great, then I'll get some while I'm gone," and so he'd sped out the door without giving his guardian the chance to respond.

Once at the bar, he sat down at a quiet table in the back and waited. He noticed Zeke and a few other members he knew had already arrived. He ordered a Dr. Pepper and waited for the show to start.

[Seth Calloway]

(Right as always, Conner.)

Even amongst the fairly loud atmosphere of the bar, the sudden sound of the door being whipped open would be hard to miss, the loud bang of the door impacting against the wall echoing through the Lion's Tooth and likely to cause a good deal of attention to be directed to the newest arrival to Revelation's headquarters. Of course, Seth would have it no other way, he tended to enjoy such entrances, especially when he was he one doing them.

Am I truly late? Or did all of them come early?

Seth glanced towards the clock on the wall above the bar, disappointed to find it didn't match his watch. He wasn't quite late, but he wasn't as early as he would have liked to be, either. Nevertheless, he set out to make his way through the crowd of members, shaking hands and exchanging greetings like some sort of presidential candidate, only without kissing any babies. There were very few he wanted to stay and talk to for any length of time, and thus far, he'd seen none of the more important players for his "play" at the school.

Finally, he spied Conner sitting at a table, boasting of his accomplishments in his typical fashion. Naturally, the Horseman of War tended to attract a lot of attention, something that was often used to good effect in the school, but would take away from the meeting if not brought under control. Laughing and shaking his head, Seth walked up behind Conner, placing his hand on the man's shoulder.

"You're quite awesome, Conner. But I think it's time for our indoor voices, hm? I'm about to start our last big meeting, and I'd hate for you to miss your assignment."

[Aina Swanbeck]

As usual, it didn't take very long for people to start noticing her. Aina was a beautiful girl after all. She was tall, thin but yet had a nice pair of assets and hips. Yes, she had the image of a perfect woman, the only thing missing from her was a brain but it's not like she really cared about that anyway. But, even though she was brainless, she still has standards and didn't like to be seen with certain people. Plus, with her, the first meeting was always important.
First, this Zeke freak came up to her, asking her a dumb question. Sure, she was dumb too, but not THAT dumb.
"Uh duh!" she exclaimed with a loud and annoyed sigh.
Aina was....a strange girl who knew very well how to be rude, thus what she was doing at the moment. most people would have been kind and answered him more politely, but Aina? Pfft, yeah right. She would have to be on serious drugs to even say please to someone she didn't know or cared for.
Now, Bear was more of a sweet talker. This was a guy that she would't mind answering to. The blonde girl giggled as she looked at him.
"Aina." she began "It's been like a few weeks, maybe a month or two."

She would have probably continued to talk to him, but a black haired woman caught her attention. It was no other then Aina's 'best friend' or 'BFF' as she liked to call her, Mae Lim. Aina quickly stood up, smiling apologetically towards Bear.
"Sorry, I like, gotta go for a bit." she said.

Aina skipped away, her long flowy hair training behind(not all of it though since some of it was tied up in two pig tails on the side of her head). She hurried through the many bodies in her way, trying to hurry so she could catch up to Mae, but she was moving pretty fast for some odd reason... was Mae in a hurry? Oh, well she was probably looking for Aina! Yes, they are BFF's after all, so of course she would look for her! Well, she would make the search done with quicker.
Mae stopped as she was being called by Conner, a man that Aina had not met yet but has seen around and such a few times. The two had never spoken but he seemed like an okay guy.
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae!!!!!!!!" she squealed through the crowd as she caught up to the raven haired woman. "Oh Mae! It's great to see you again!" she squeaked as she gave the girl a quick hug and let go as fast as she gave it. Last time she gave Mae a good hug, she was hit and it bruised her soft sensitive skin...

"C'mon Mae! Let's go sit with Conner!" she joyfully exclaimed as she held onto her hand and pulled her towards the table.
Maybe she didn't belong at that table and all, but she really wanted to sit with her best friend and her other buddies. She took a seat at the table, waiting for Mae to sit down as well. She was so happy, this was like a day-out-of-town with Mae and the boys. It didn't take long for Seth to arrive, the busty blonde smiled as she saw him come in.
"Oh yay! Like, Seth, you're here!" she exclaimed. After he spoke to Conner, Aina assumed that she should shut up as well. So she quietly stayed seated where she was until the meeting would start.

[Kabuto Takada]

As Aina skipped away,Bear turned to Zeke.
"Snubbed!" he said, giving him a thumbs down,laughing at how Aina had turned him down.

"Nah im just messing withya man,you should try a little sweet talk.Alos,die your hair.It scares em,and don`t give some crap about it being natural." Said Bear,motioning with his beer in hand.

He laughed loudly again.

(sorry,short)

[zeke]

Zeke was turned down, as ALWAYS. the only girl who has really actually befriended him was Sara. He'd never had much luck with the ladies. But he couldn't help but chuckle. "not natural?" Zeke laughed. "Obviously you didn't hear my story. When I was about 12 or so, I was in a lab and got hit by a chemical explosion. It screwed up my upper-to-lower muscle ratio, but what I never mentioned to anyone is that it also bleached my hair. This has been my natural hair color for about 3 years. I hate it, but I won't dye it because I'm proud of who I am."

[Mae-Lim]

And it had begun.

Her head turned towards Conner (whom she hadn't seen while going in, how ever THAT was possible, she did not know) who called out her name in order to catch her attention. She seemed to debate on whether or not she SHOULD join him and the crowd in listening to how "AWESOME" he was. Hmm, tempting. Why not? She began to make her way back towards Conner and co. (Conner seeming to beacon her to come still with a motion of his hand). She wasn't going to walk any faster if that's what he wanted. "I'm going, I'm going..."

Then. Her name was called out again. 'Cept this time, it made chills run up her spine, her hair stand on end and her face cringe. It was like nails on a chalkboard, to be honest. The squealing of the blonde attracting eyes from the gang-members and Mae just wished she could disappear. 'Someone hand me a pistol and get it over with...' she thought bitterly. She glanced towards the blonde who proceeded to hug her (though admittedly, perhaps she wasn't as stupid as Mae remembered since the hug was so brief. Unfortunately, even if it was brief, it was unforgivable) 'Looks like I have to beat some sense into this girl...'

The blonde suggested going to sit with Conner, which Mae could only roll her eyes at since she was already in the middle of going to do so. Aina grasped her hand and pulled her along, Mae's patience thinning every second the girl attempted any form of contact with her. It was just a matter of seconds before Mae would "combust" and teach that annoying girl a thing or two. "This barbie doll is killing me." she muttered, staggering with each step as Aina's faster movements did not match her own slower (and fewer) steps.

With a sigh, Mae grabbed a seat before finally looking up. She hadn't noticed Seth arrive 'till then, however, she made no outward acknowledgement to his arrival. Simply, she looked at him, then looked back down at her lap as she listened to all the chit chat. There was something about Aina's excitement over the two other Horesomen present that seemed to strike a cord in her. She wasn't too sure why, but, it did manage to annoy her. Bah, she'd just cross it off as Aina being annoying overall. That'd ease her mind.

"So this is it." Mae spoke, mainly to herself.

[Conner]

"Y'know Mae, you could do well to perk up like your friend here."

Conner grinned, giving a wink to Aina. He didn't know that Revelation was recruiting cheerleaders now, but what the hell, Conner wasn't going to complain for another thing to look at. What he was looking at, however, quickly changed in discrepancy, as Conner arched his neck backwards. The hand on his shoulder belonged to Seth. Conner was being scolded, but not in a way that kept Seth from laughing. Naturally, it wouldn't keep Conner from doing so either.

"You're preaching to the choir, man. The floors all yours; we both know neither of us wants me to miss whatever my assignment is."

Conner rose an eyebrow as Aina spoke of Seth's arrival. Perhaps he had jumped the gun when he said that Mae should take after her. If he ever heard Mae-Lim throw the word "like" randomly in her sentences, he'd have to kill her for her own benefit, out of pity. He took another swig from the bottle, setting it back in front of him as he looked back to Seth, who would be speaking at any time.

[Seth Calloway]

"Good man."

Seth smirked down towards Conner, giving his shoulder a quick pat before looking up from the Horseman of War. The moment he finished his sentence, Aina's voice reached his ears, causing him to smile in the exciteable blonde's direction. Every member present had a purpose, an intergral part to his plan to rid the Watchers from the school, even if they didn't know it yet. As such, he had to keep them happy long enough for everything to fall into place, then they could do as they wished.

The fact that most of them adored him was just an added benefit.

"Of course, Aina. I'd hate to miss my own meeting, wouldn't you think?"

Seth's wide smile, as well as his tone, was enough to suggest he was joking, keeping the mood light and fun. His eyes wandered across those gathered, noting the absence of the final Horseman. Of course, August tended to miss such meetings, and would need to be brought up to speed later on. Aside from that, it seemed that most who needed to be present were, which meant it was time to start the show. With a nod towards the bartender, the bar began to quiet, the sounds of the bouncers and other members of Revelation shushing each other so that Seth's voice would carry to all present, or at least, to as many as he was able to.

"Ladies, gentlemen. The day we've been waiting for is close at hand. It's been a long and difficult road, for some more than others, But I assure you, our efforts have not gone in vain. The Watchers actively search for reasons to punish us now, even if we've done nothing, while the principal watches every move we make carefully. They're afraid of us, and with good reason."

Slowly, Seth began to walk around the bar as he continued, looking several members in the eyes as if searching them for the same confidence and determination within his own.

"Instead of breaking our spirit, they've unified us, given us a common goal, a common desire: to see them driven from Hircine High. Together, we are more powerful than we ever were seperate, and with our combined strength, we are stronger than any other single gang currently at the high school. This is not to say that we haven't made any enemies, but without help, none can match us, save one."

Many of the members had begun to circle around Seth, hoping to hear him more clearly, while others pushed tables and chairs out of the way, making more room. Seth, however, continued on, as if oblivious to these facts.

"I know what many of you are thinking; that we are going to start a revolution, with our sheer numbers we will defeat the Watchers all at once, and drive them from the school. In a way, you're right. In one day, we will defeat every single Watcher at once, and a good deal of them will leave with broken bodies. However, if we were to simply fight them, then nothing would change. The Watchers, even with our numbers, would succeed in eventually defeating every one of us."

"Then why are we bothering!?"

The voice came from behind Seth, who spun to face the one who had made such an outburst. It was one of the denser students, one who had joined Revelation because the Watchers were hampering his ability to act like a bully. Seth, however, did not grow angry at the interruption, instead, smoothly addressing the issue as if it had been planned.

"We are bothering, as you put it, because fighting is but one part to accomplishing our goal. As many of you likely learned from Stern's riot, a massive fight accomplishes little on it's own, but it is not without it's use. Stern had too much faith in the student body's compassion and empathy for his cause; we will show them how it's done by example. With the vast majority of the Watchers occupied, and our allies dealing with the principal himself, the door is wide open for a small group to get the evidence it requires to put an end to this regime once and for all."

The gang member who had interrupted seemed satisfied, and in very vague terms, Seth had covered most of the plan already. It was up to the members themselves to pick through his words in order to find the meaning intended, one that likely would vary from member to member, but would still have the effect Seth desired. He then began to walk back to the table the other Horsemen were seated at in an unhurried fashion, allowing himself the time to finish what he had begun.

"As many of you know, there will be a school spirit assembly in a few days, and we've been told attendance is mandatory. I can think of no better place to make our stand, where every eye in the school can see."

Reaching the table, Seth leaned down next to Aina, his index finger on his left hand tilting her chin up towards him to bring them face to face.

"And it will all start... with you."

[Mae-Lim]

Her only response to Conner's statement had been a rather brief "Hn." before she crossed her arms and leaned back on her chair. Did she look like the perky type to him? One Aina around here was enough, thanks, and she'd be damned if she became the second one. Ever. Arg, Calm down Mae, taking such a simple statement to heart was a childish thing to do. Ho-hum. She'd be childish all she wanted.

Mae's head stayed lowered to get a good look at her lap, however, as soon as Seth began to talk, she looked up in the coner of her eye (not particularily at anyone), listening silently to every word spoken as she did time and time and time again. The begining was just blabber to her, nothing she wished to note as important as, really, it wasn't. To her. Finally, however, after someone gave out an out-burst, Seth came around to the REAL details. The stuff she wanted to hear!

Slowly, her head moved up, watching Seth as he came towards the table and approached Aina, lifting her face to look directly at his. The corner of Mae's lip gave a slight "twitch" at the sight, her eyes showing no more annoyment then it had before, however, what was going on in the inside was quite different. Not wanting to "interupt" anything, as, staring at such "moments" always made her uncomfortable to begin with, Mae simply looked back down at her lap and letting her shoulders give a little "jump" as to demonstrate her silent, sarcastic, chuckle.

To anyone it would just look like the typical Mae-Lim thing to do, really. She wasn't too worried about people noting her discomfort and making any silly connections with it. There was nothing wrong! Nope. No connections to be made. Good? Good.
Now to wait for their moment to end already so the rest of the plan could be told....

'So I can get just outta here.' she thought bitterly.

[Conner]

(OOC: Uhh...you guys can post too.)

Conner bellowed another sort laugh as Seth spoke to Aina. The girl really was hopeless, and even though Seth was being nice, he knew he was laughing at the ditzy girl in his head as well. Soon enough, Seth began to get to the actual plan.

Seth was a talker when he wanted to be, and it seemed this was one of those times. Conner nodded along at first, but quickly began to nod off. His attention span wasn't that great, and Seth spoke too high class. He understood the words, but it was hard for him to actually pay attention. By the looks of it, he was the only one, as the rest of the crowd began to swarm in to better hear him. That came as no surprise, however. Seth was good at speeches, even though Conner wasn't good at listening to them.

The Horseman of War did pay enough attention at least to understand that bruce force wasn't the sole plan. Good to know, but not quite necessary for him. Given his name and tasks so far, it was pretty obvious the type of part he would play. All he would need to know is where and when, and Conner could smash. The pep rally was coming up at the end of the week, and it seemed that would be the starting point. Seth walked over to Aina, telling her it was going to start with her.

Conner didn't even comprehend what that could mean. Instead, he began to grin at the look of it. While looking, he saw Mae giggling to herself at his side. Laughing to himself, Conner leaned in, placing his mouth next to Mae-Lim's ear as he whispered.

"Looks like someone's gettin' lucky tonight..."

Still smiling, Conner sat back in his chair. Once he toppled his amusement, he leaned back in his chair, getting the motion to gain him even more attention as he spoke up.

"So what then? We're all supposed to go?"

[Aina Swanbeck]

(Pleh, not very long)
And so the meeting begun. As anyone would probably have guessed, the blonde had a very short attention span. So while Seth spoke about...stuff.....Aina had reached in her skirt pocket and removed a stick of gum from its package. She then stuck the pack back in and place the piece of minty gum in her mouth as she chewed on and on and began to talk to herself in her head. 'Like God, I should have been shopping! There was a very nice pair of shoes at the store today! What colour were they again....? Oh yeah! They were totally pink! Like Oh Em Gee! I should get them as soon as I get outta here! Oh....but there was also that REALLY nice lip gloss and like, that eye liner was totally hot too.' Yeaaaaah, well we could all see how this thought would continue.....it's not like she had anything else on her mind. Strangely enough, not even guys were as important as her looks and accessories.

If he would have kept talking without snapping her out of it somehow, Aina would have not heard a thing that was pointed towards her. But, well enough, Seth had brought her face close to his by using his finger to tilt her head towards her. And like any girl, her face turned from pale, to soft pink, to bright red. She barely even knew what to say when he said that everything would happen with her. Even though she had only heard that sentence, she pretty much understood that whatever this meeting was about, it would start with something she would have to do. And now that she was snapped out of her....thoughts, she could ask him what he meant and she would link what he would say to the main plan. Now, even Aina wasn't that dumb, so she would most likely understand everything when she would hear what her part was.
"W-with me?" she softly asked as she blinked her large blue eyes a few times and pucked her soft pink lips in confusion. She still wondered though....why would she be important enough to start the whole thing? Sure, she was popular and all, but still; she just didn't feel very special. Now, if Mae was chosen, then Aina would understand and all since Mae was great at her job. Plus, Mae Lim was Aina's idol, so being in this position felt strange since usually the raven haired girl had the most important parts. Or would hers be even more important but be later on in the plan? Plus, just because she started the whole plot, did not mean it was all that important....where the hell did she get the idea that it was important anyway? Oh poo! This was too confusing! The blonde girl would just have to give up on thinking for a bit and just take in other people's information instead. It was always easier that way after all.

[Kabuto Takada]

Bear laughed.
Sure she was hot,but what could Aina do?
But he was bound to find out anyway,so he leaned back in his chair and sipped his beer.He was getting the answers he wanted,that was good,but he wished Seth would stop being so cryptic.

"Seth,no offense,but can you get to the point?Im growing impatient of all this cryptic crap." He said loudly.

[Seth Calloway]

Seth's eyes slowly travelled to Conner, standing up almost reluctantly from the position he'd been in before. He didn't answer at first, however, as it seemed Bear had a question as well, and Seth would pause for a moment more to make sure there were no more questions before answering.

"Yes, Conner. We are all going to the Pep Rally. After all, what kind of students would we be if we didn't show our school spirit?"

A wide grin made it's way on the sophomore's face, showing full well what he meant by his answer. With all the students in one place, it would make things much easier for Revelation to gain the attention it required. After answering, Seth turned his face towards where Bear's voice had come from, though walking around Aina in order to stand behind Mae-Lim, his hands resting on her shoulders.

"It's simple, Bear. Aina is the head cheerleader. Where do you suppose she'll be during the assembly?"

With the matter seemingly dealt with, Seth leaned forward, placing his head next to Mae-Lim's other ear in a move eerily similiar to what Conner had already done.

"You and I need to talk. I'll meet you outside."

The words were spoken quickly, but quietly, something that was slightly odd for the normally relaxed gang leader. Standing up, he removed a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it and taking a drag before speaking once more.

"There's no more that needs to be said, I'm sure you all can figure out what you're supposed to do from what's been mentioned already. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going out for a breath of fresh air. Enjoy the rest of your evening."

With that said, Seth made his way out of the bar, nodding and smiling to those who spoke to him, accepting handshakes and pats on the back before finally making it outside, where he would lean against the wall and watch the street in front of him.

[Kayar]

Kayar liked it. It was crude. It was rash. Bold. But Kayar liked its crudeness. Especially in the way it mocked school spirit. A rally gone riot? He wondered why HE hadn't thought of it.

He stood and walked over to where Zeke was sitting, and sat down next to him.
"So, what do you think, is this plan going to work?"

It was a conversation starter, and while normally not a conversationalist, the moment of excitement of being so close to facing the Watchers made him care less about his usual shyness. It strengthened him, gave him his ability to speak. Because soon, it would be all over, and Kayar's painful conscience would never bother him again.

[zeke]

Zeke listened intently to Seth's plan. It was brilliant. He hadn't heard of Stern, but he didn't sound like he was doing very well right now. Then Kayar walked over, asking him what he thought of the plan.

"Oh, it'll work alright. Seth is brilliant. Once we're through, the Watchers will be gone forever. What i'm curious about is now he intends to restore order after he overthrows the Watchers."

He paused.

"The Watchers are evil, and must be removed from the school, that's clear. But even if we succeed, we need a plan to avoid a riot which could be even more dangerous than the Watchers. I know about this firsthand. I was defending an innocent student at my old school from the school captain, and accidentally kicked the captain out the window. He survived, and though we had some differences for a while, he forgave me. But that's not the point. While he was gone, the school was in total anarchy for the few months before a new captain arose. And a school riot is not a pretty sight, Kayar. I hope Seth has a good follow-up plan."
