Zo bit her lip and hesitated before following Bray. She shivered in the chilly breeze and wrapped her arms around herself as she walked.

(That's fine we can do both!)
Kylie sat in the cafeteria at Namika's side with her club sandwich hesitantly, feeling nauseous from the turn of events of the day. The girl picked at her grapes, stabbing them innocently enough with her fork, not eating at all. She couldn't help but feel betrayed by the staff of the school, bringing Malcolm here. It was obvious to her this was all a set up, that they had planned to bring Malcolm and her both here all along. It was planned from the beginning. But the question was why? To what means and end? She didn't look at Namika, having watched her and Aris battle train earlier making her feel even sicker.
---
Sin found Yuri alone int he cafeteria later feeling relieved. "Finally. I haven't seen you all day," he complained. Ever since she had gotten in touch with the other Photon, he hadn't seen much of her. And he hated it, honestly. He already had his plate in his hand, but seemed more interested in finding her than eating.
---
Bray stepped into the Power Station quietly, closing the door carelessly behind him as he entered the small building without a care, out of sight.

Namika was ranting about some random stuff as ate beside Kylie. "Why are they even giving mayo out as an option. It's disgusting. I mean, who even has mayonaise? Nobody! Nobody likes mayo!" She groaned as she quickly ate most of her food, she hadn't noticed Kylie was deep in thought and presumed the other Keeper was listening to her 'silly' rant.
--
Yuri rubbed her eyes, looking slightly tired. It had been a while since she had used her powers that took effort and suddenly coming back to the school, it had drained some of her energy. Of course, she will adjust soon. Jumping slightly as she heard a voice behind her, the Photon relaxed a little as she recognized the voice. "Oh, hello Sin. How are you?"

(No but she can sneak in the door quietly he's not paying attention.)
Kylie didn't answer Namika, clearly in her own little world. Malcolm was sitting but two tables away, with what was clearly another vampire girl, acting as though there wasn't a care in the world. And truthfully it really peeved her off. Having him so near...
---
Sin grinned. "Good. Now that you're with me. So what you been up to?" he wondered. "You look a little worse for wear," he mentioned as they took a seat.
---
Bray had a somber look on his face as he walked inside the dark, stuffy room; electrical boxes filled the place, and he went around the corner, the door closing behind him, but it stayed opened just a crack. The metal cabinets were filled with files, but more importantly was the room he was going into, which of course couldn't be viewed by Zo without being caught, as he was there. The concrete floors offered a decent sound buffer.

Zo slipped into the door but stayed in the shadows just beside it. She breathed through her nose so he wouldn't hear her though she was surprised he couldn't hear her heart pounding. What was Bray doing in here?

Bray looked up upon hearing the door snap closed, rushing into the other room. Upon seeing Zo, he looked at her with wide eyes. "Zo. What are you doing here?" he asked, surprised.
(Decided to speed this along)

(Just not really feeling the motivation for it right now. Long week anyway. My American History professor(and this is a required class) is an incompetent idiot. A month in and he hasn't given us a syllabus, he's always extremely late to class, just talks about his own personal stuff, and we've barely done any work. He even got complained about to the head of the department, but there's not much that can be done so we're stuck. Then I started work again yesterday but the class I've got is way worse than who I had in the summer, and they were already rough. Two of the girls from the summer are in my class and they were thrilled to see me and actually listen. But the rest...well there's a couple good kids but among some of the more memorable incidents of yesterday: One problem kid ripped a girl's sticker chart off the wall, ripped it into pieces, and threw it out, we later found out he took the teacher's camera off her desk and put it in his backpack. Same kid threw a book at my face after I read it to him, the corner hit me right in the eye. Oh, he also punched me in the stomach when I told him off for hitting his classmates. When they had a huge discussion about bullying at the end of the day (that was mostly aimed at him), he proceeded to shove another kid to the ground immediately. He destroyed another kid's painting, and also another kid yanked at my hair because he didn't want to have naptime.)

(Okay! We can do Ryder and Eira if you want!
I'm sorry, Tali. I understand how you feel)
Ryder stepped out of the lunch line with his food, looking over to the Siren table with interest. The new Siren girl was sitting there, Eira. Hmm. He carried his tray over, proceeding to take a seat across from her.

After eating the last grape on her own plate, Namika looked across in Kylie's direction; noticing how the other Keeper hadn't said a word since they had sat down. Waving her hand in front of the Keeper's face in order to catch her attention, Namika spoke up. "Earth to Kylie!"
--
"Other than learning? Not much i guess," Yuri replied with a shake of her head. "Oh, no- I'm fine. Just a little tired." She stated. Glancing unobtrusively across the canteen, the Photon wondered if Leilani- the girl she was speaking to the other day- would join them.

Sin chuckled. "So what have you learned? Any cool Photon stuff?" he wondered as he stuffed some chips into his mouth. He liked Yuri, and liked hearing about the Photons. Maybe it would come in handy one day on the battlefield- even better, maybe they would be working together side by side.
---
Kylie blinked, looking up as though being pulled out of a dream. "Huh?" she let out in shock, eyes drifting away from Malcolm and his new little pet. "What is it?" she demanded of Namika, turning to look down at her plate, actually eating one of her grapes she had stabbed with a fork now, then tagging a swig of water. "What the heck are we even doing? Why are we even acting like any of this is normal?" she asked of the small group of her Keeper friends around her; Namika, Aris, Ava. Namika had her friend Ayla with her, and there were the two Siren twins, since Namika roomed with one of them, Enileve and Enilamme. Kylie looked around for Roxy; she was starting to like her, but was surprised that she couldn't find her. Their group was really starting to come together. It made her feel safe.
---
Ryder rolled his eyes. "Yeah, me. What, you thought you wouldn't see me anymore?" he retorted with a snort. "I'm a Siren. You're going to be seeing a lot of me this year. Get it through that little brain of yours- Sirens tend to stick together. Eat with each other, hang with one another, study and do everything together. So get used to it," he replied somberly, as though he himself didn't care much for it, taking a loud chomp of his club.
---
Bray let out a loud sigh, leaning against the concrete wall as he eyed her. "Zo...I can't. I mean, we can't. I'm busy. Working. You're not even supposed to be here," he admitted. But from the look on his face, he didn't seem too upset to see her, even here in this forbidden place. "What, you didn't see the signs?" he said coolly, as though he didn't particularly care though. There was no panic on his face, he just leaned against the wall in his place.

"I'm sorry... I know..." Zo said, looking defeated. "Um...I'll just go now.." she turned to put her hand on the door, moving slowly in hopes that he'd change his mind.

Bray laid a hand on her shoulder, spinning her around to face him. "You might as well stay," he murmured. "That way you won't be wondering and guessing what's in here, making wild assumptions and spreading insane rumors. It's under lock and key for a reason. Come," he decided, dropping his arm from her, motioning her to the hallway around the corner.

Eira scowled and took a bite of her food “there’s plenty of other Siren to bother. Yet you still chose to sit with me? Interesting” she replied, a tinge of sarcasm to her response. “Why are you such a bitter person anyway?”

"Cool isn't really the best term to describe Photon powers. I like the term 'Aesthetically pleasing'." Yuri responded with an amused smile. "Do you mean stuff like the refraction of light? Changing colours, or forming things like orbs of light?" She asked.
--
Namika sighed formerly, not exactly sure how to answer it. "It's... just what's got to happen..." expression drooped slightly, not really sure on how to answer. It was almost like she signalled the shifter as Ayla added on.
"It is normal. Once you learn of the gifted... this is well... the only way there is..." The Shifter winced, she still felt a little guilty for revealing the Gifted to Namika. But it was the only way. She could of died or at least been critically injured, life wouldn't have been the same for Namika if Ayla didn't jump in... but then again. Now, it's not the same to life before either.

Bray led her down the ramp of the dark hall, motioning to the rails for her to hold on; it was dark after all, and they were human. "Everything. We keep some important files. Probably not best to keep them in a place we keep the electricity, but we don't want them easily found, and this place is under lock and key and there's a security camera. Not well watched, but if we needed to go back and take a look at the footage, we could. Other than that it's the power. And, well..." He trailed off as they reached the back room, where he had been taking her. In front of them was a bright blue-tinted light enclosing a strange circular orb object that appeared to be floating in the center of the blue light, in the middle of the square room. "This is the cloaking device for the island."
---
"The other seats were taken," Ryder proceeded to explain with little other information, grumpily taking yet another bite with a daring look in her direction, not answering her other question, almost begging her to ask for more. He seemed interested in her, despite her young age- far different from his usual interest in girls- almost as though he wanted to teach her a thing or two. She was in desperate need of learning, after all.
---
Sin chuckled. "Let's talk about what we can use against the enemy, shall we?" he proceeded. "I mean, you're third year now, surely they're starting to talk about powers in battle use. They are in my courses." He shrugged as though it was a normal thing. She wasn't avoiding it, was she?
---
Kylie frowned, then began to glare at the two. She pointed in Malcolm's direction. "He killed two other girls, and now he's been brought here with me. You call that normal?" she demanded of them. "I'm sorry if I'm not prepared to live in a world where it's okay to blatantly kill innocent people. Nor will I ever be." With a frustrated growl, she shook her head, closing her eyes. Finally, she opened them and stared at Namika, slamming a finger in her face. "You're going to teach me everything about fighting. Then I'm going to kill Malcolm, because that's what he deserves. Do you understand?"

Yuri frowned but replied anyway. "Well, i guess. Um, we can blind people, permanently or just for a moment, there's also completely destroying the tissue with ultraviolet-like beams. Would invisibility count as a move used in battle?"
--
Round eyes, Namika was silent for a moemnt before speaking. "Uh, I guess. If you're fine with that," "I don't think killing him would be th-" Ayla cut herself off mid sentence, knowing she probably won't make things any better. If Kylie wanted to really kill another student, thta was her decision. But was it the right way?

"It's an ancient rune," Bray explained, "not at all like the ones Magiks or Necros carry around in jewellery today. It's from they Egyptians, from one of the tombs of the Great Pyramids to be exact. It hid the location of the pyramid of Giza for the pharaoh Khufu for approximately 100 years after his death, cloaking the pyramid entirely. It was upon the retrieval of the artifact by a Magik- and only the artifact- that the pyramid then revealed itself and was raided, it's treasures and mummy stolen shortly after by Humans." He smiled. "What little Humans know of their own world." With just a short pause, he continued. "This rune, obviously, is unlike any other. It's size, for one. It's material, for another."
---
"That's awesome. Yes, that's pretty useful," Sin was quick to say with a smirk at her. "Just imagine the two of us now, you invisible to the enemy, myself masquerading as water- the two of us unable to be defeated!" he said in an announcer type voice, as though they were victors in a game. He threw his fists up in a cheer.
---
Kylie gave a brief nod, making it obvious that was what she wanted. Suddenly she felt chills along her spine as a shadow covered her.
A looming figure appeared behind her, brooding over her. "Fingers were pointing in my direction. I had the distinct feeling I was being beckoned over. Hmm? Was that the case?" Malcolm was questioning the group now, in a sinister, suspicious tone, as he eyed Kylie, Namika, Ayla, Enilamme, Enileve, Ava, and Aris.

She was in desperate need of learning, after all.
Eira stopped, and looked around noticing that he was right. There really were no other seats within the Siren table for him to sit. She sighed and looked back to him “I see.” While she didn’t particularly like him, Eira couldn’t help but notice that he skipped her question and she realized she knew nothing about this person besides his name. “You didn’t answer the question, avoiding it?”

"Sandstone," Bray told her. "So it's fragile. "Been worn down throughout the years. From what I've heard it spend an entire half millennium in the desert facing the sand-storms and wind. A few floods. But it's survived. It needs some upkeep, but more importantly, it needs to be kept secret. It would be easy enough to shut it down. More importantly, the easiest bypass of it's system is to KNOW that it's cloaking something; in other words, if the Hunters know something is here hiding, they're going to be able to see it. The device only works because they don't know where to look."

"Last I checked you weren't my superior. Not that I would answer even if you were," Ryder added with another snort. So, no. Not going to answer," he snapped at Eira. "Besides, don't you have better things to do than to pester me? Like learn how to be a Siren?" he considered with an eyeroll. She didn't even know the basics hardly, after all.
