Piper bristled at the pet name, biting back a retort. This was turning out to be a little harder than he'd expected. Wincing a bit at the pinch, he brushed Jack's hand away, putting a very genuine soft smile. He felt bad that Alessandra had to witness this, but this had become a war that he was determined to win. Which, meant committing harder than the tragedy in front of him. Really, he was good at pretending, and making it believable. Dropping the tenseness he had earlier, he leaned and and grabbed Jack's chin, thumb pressed to his bottom lip. "Hey now, you can't just go spilling my secrets to poor innocent girls," he pouted, leaning in closer, closer, bypassing his mouth to whisper into his ear. "I should punish you for that."

Alessandra sighed quietly. Soon getting up she picked up her plate. "Hey love birds," she stated in a soft but teasing voice. "I gotta go. Homework is calling me," she excused herself then, turning around and making her way to the sink and putting it in the dish tray. Her jaw clenched, catching a note of her spreading mutation and pushed her hair over it before making her way to the doors. She had to go- she really did. Not because of homework either;

Jack froze as Piper's thumb brushed against his lips, color rushing to his cheeks. He took a deep breath and held it as suddenly Piper's warm breath was tickling his ear. It was amazing how quickly his brain short-circuited and his mouth dropped open. He watched Alessadra go, but made no move to pull away from Piper. His brain was a loop of various expletives as he patiently waited for Alessandra to leave the cafeteria so he could beat the hell out of Piper's smug lil face.

Piper smiled over at Alessandra as she left, then pulled away from Jack with a very satisfied laugh. The laugh died in his throat the moment he saw his kissable face, and his expression went entirely blank in response, mouth slightly open in surprise. His face felt hot. Okay maybe that wasn't really on the spectrum of what he'd expected to happen or see- "Uhhhh..." he muttered, getting to his feet immediately. Maybe he still had time to run. "Gotta go!"

Lilah looked rather astonished. "Stile. He's an A kid. He's bad at being an A kid, I'll give you that, but since when do you care about their feelings." She smirked, "Seven must be somethin' real special huh? I think I hear wedding bells."
Hollis raised an eyebrow as he sat down, tugging at his jacket to make sure it wasn't all crumpled up. His outfit was actually rather normal today, the most advanced pieces being his rings and a watch, which let off a very faint blue glow. "Oh murder, my favorite. Exactly who is that you plan to murder and uh, why? Also, I am keeping my hands clean, and avoiding anything that would link me to this because I already had the Dean on my tail for trying to reverse engineer someone's weapon that I absolutely did not steal. Apparently it's 'too dangerous.'"

Caspian couldn't help but laugh. He wished he had recorded the whole thing. Caspian could really sell the rumor by saying Jack and Piper were dropping innuendos and rubbing up on each other. He pulls out his phone and texts one of his friends. Frank meet me in the hallway near the gym! I have got something to tell you!

Alessandra passed Caspian on her way out but thought nothing of it. Her eyes turned down, and her lips pursed for a brief moment before she moved on faster. Man she felt stupid. Of course Piper would already be claimed. Her fingers rubbed her red cheeks, and she gave a soft huff through her parted lips. She immediately ducked her head, scurrying right along and hoping to avoid anyone on the way out.

[ poor Frank ]
Stile shook his head wildly, making and X with his arms. "No no no no, no!! I don't mean it like that!" he insisted, starting to look flustered in his efforts to get her to drop it. "I-I-I don't care about his feelings! I just don't want him to like...send an A kid to come kick my ass or something for being rude..." he fumbled in a vain effort to make his idea make sense to her. He drew in a breath and paused for a moment, raising an eyebrow as he turned his head. "...Do you hear that?"
Wisteria grinned excitedly at him, looking far more mischievous than she had a few moments ago. "It is dangerous, dumbass. But we're trying to murder Jackaboy," she explained, thinking for a moment about all the stuff she knew about them. It increased every day as she got her hands on more outlets, but it was starting to come together. "Well, their family is pretty wealthy, or at least wealthy in connections. My father has done...freelance work for them, I've seen their family's name in his office before," she started, drumming her fingers on the desk beside her. "Aside from the stuff I know of their student records, I want to dig up what that was about. Apparently they were just as dangerous before even coming here, too." She pointed to both of them with an expectant look on her face. "But, like I said, killing might be a little risky. So maybe you could at least help me prank them, mess with their heads."

"Oh hell no!" Jack saw Piper move to go and followed, not about about to let him get away with that quite so easily. His heart was thumping a mile a minute, obviously because he was furious about this whole situation. Reaching out, he wrapped his hand around Piper's wrist and began to drag him from the room, looking for somewhere a little more private so he could beat the stuffing out of the brat for that whole situation. Granted, it had been his idea, but he obviously hadn't won that part of the game. But beating Piper up would certainly make him feel better.

Piper swore under his breath as Jack snatched his wrist, knowing there was no escape from this fate he was about to face. He was feeling nauseous again, but was fairly certain it was from the thought of his impending doom. Letting himself be dragged away, he craned his neck looking for an escape route, face still hot and mouth lost for proper words. In spite of it all, he could take minor satisfaction in the fact that he'd won this game, for now. Who knew what would happen the next time Alessandra approached him and Jack was in the vicinity. "Look I was just kidding-" he managed, mouth dry. Oh god.

Jack didn't stop, dragging him down the hall until he found himself in a common room, currently empty. He stopped and turned, looking Piper up and down. There was a brief moment where he didn't want to do this, a tiny little voice telling him that this wasn't what he really wanted. Luckily, Jack was good at ignoring things and brushed that little thought aside. Instead, he aimed his fist directly into Piper's stomach without a word.
Geoff frowned, shuddering, "Seriously? Christ. Maybe that's why they're here. It was this or jail." He pressed his palms against the desk, fingers drumming against the wood, "So how do we mess with them? Is there anything they like, anyone they're particularly attached to beside each other?" He really wasn't involved in most of the drama at Bermuda Bay. If it didn't affect his personal life, he didn't really care. But that did leave him in the dark when it came to the rumor mill, "Think Cas has anything interesting on the pair?"

Caspian throws way his trash and heads to the meeting place. He loved that those three had not noticed him. He laughs some more as he thinks about everything that happened. Things were going to get a lot more interesting around here.

Piper was caught off guard by the punch and was nearly knocked off his feet, stumbling back and gasping for air. He folded over, holding his stomach whilst trying to steady himself and not vomit at the same time. His temper surged in response, and the adrenaline quickly replaced the pain as he snapped his hand out, grabbing a fistful of Jack's shirt and slamming him up against the nearest wall. Jack certainly had the strength advantage over him, but he had more than a few inches to spare over him, lifting him up against the wall to eye-level. "Do you really want to do this now?" he growled, short of breath, face paled from the hit but twisted now in anger.

Alessandra had decided to turn back to hopefully apologize to her abrupt leaving. And maybe nab Piper and ask for an apology. She had seen Jack haul Piper to a seperate room- but something told her it wasnt vivid passion. She slowly opened up the door, watching for a long moment and eyes wide. What in the world? Why were they- oh. She was played wasnt she? The boys were in some sort of thing to out do each other and this was their result.
Slowly she blinked, chewing on her lower lip and watching whole she could. She really hoped she didnt disturb them

((Whoa, stuff happened))
Just the affirmation quickly drained Riandylan's uncertainty and sorrow, and they straightened up with a hop and a clap of their hands, eyes shining. They were so excited they couldn't speak for a moment, their hands dancing for them. They quickly caught themselves and spoke out loud. "Oh, yeah! Totally! Outside is this way!" they said, gesturing as they began skipping down the hall. "Ooh, where should we go, we could go eat at the cafeteria, or go swimming - oh, I've always wanted to go to the greenhouse! It's on the roof, how cool is that?" Just the thought had them jumping up and down, unable to contain the energy that swept through them.
After lurking around Building 03, losing the motivation to really do anything rather quickly, Ari slumped over to the cafeteria to cease the growling of his stomach. Geez, why was being in pain so exhausting?

Lilah continued to snicker, finding Stile's whole, unconvincing display, quite entertaining. "Stile, remind to teach you how to lie one day, would you? Because you're absolute crap at it. Dude, I don't care if you like him, I just wanna know your intentions." She wagged a finger at him and put on a voice, "Gotta make sure that good-for-nothin' rascal is good enough for my Stiley-Wiley." The vending machines in view now, Lilah was annoyed to pause. "What? I don't hear anything."
Hollis shrugged. Hey, all he wasn't trying to do was make himself effective gear for patrols that wasn't that clunky, uncomfortable stuff they currently had to wear. He listened quietly to the two of them converse. Nose scrunched up, he shook his head. "Jack, as in Kennig, as in Jack and Anna the creepy, psycho murder twins? You know he can snap us all in half like twigs, without even breaking a sweat? Why would you even want to try doing anything to him?" The idea gave him the heebie jeebies. He scratched at his arm, trying to offer any useful info. "Haven't you noticed that they're kinda emotionless? Jack, maybe less so, but his sister is a textbook sociopath. I don't think they're even attatched to their parents."
Cassie's eyes widened a bit, not expecting this... exuberant of a reaction. Whatever they had been upset about, it must have been real bad for a simple agreement to be a social human being was enough to cheer them up. "Ahh... sure! I've hardly even walked around the school, maybe you can give me the full grand tour."

Jack's feet dangled a good inch or so off the ground as he was hoisted against the wall. Glaring up at Piper, he wrapped his hands around Piper's arms and squeezed slightly, making it clear that he wasn't afraid to crush some bones, "Oh yeah, we're doing this now."

Piper narrowed his eyes at Jack, glancing briefly down at his hands where they tightened around his arm. "Do it, I dare you. I'm not just said kid you can kick around anymore," he hissed, clenching his fist tighter before letting him drop back to the ground, taking a step back. This looked like it was going to get messy, but a little part of him was going to enjoy it. "You started this, so don't be upset that I finished it. Or are you just pissed that I got you to like me for even a second?"
"I don't!! I have no intentions!" Stile protested even more, raking his hands through his hair in frustration, but the blush on his face was not helping at all. He was just embarrassed, but Lilah would never believe that. It just made him look hypocritical to boot, so he dropped the subject as quick as he cold manage. He huffed and listened again, grabbing ahold of her sleeve to keep her from making a mad dash to the snacks. "It sounds like music..."
Wisteria snapped a finger at Geoff's idea with a frantic nod, fishing her cell phone from her pocket almost immediately. "Let's call him then! He probably know something," she agreed, scrolling through the contacts before selecting Caspian's and dialing him up, pressing the phone to her ear and letting it ring as she looked towards Hollis. "Of course I know that! But he threatened me today, and I don't plan on going down without a fight. It's not like either of you are useful in a physical battle, so it'll just come down to wits, which we obviously have more of."

After checking Cassie's face for her words, Riandylan turned back around and jumped into the air with an "Exploration!" cheer. Realizing that probably came out of nowhere, they turned back around and said, "That sounds awesome! I haven't hit every place yet either, so we can discover stuff together! Maybe we'll find a secret passageway, or shortcuts, or -" they abruptly paused and seemed to shrink. "... Sorry, I'm talking too much, aren't I?" They hoped they weren't pushing Cassie away with their enthusiasm. Clearly their monster-like appearance hadn't deterred her where it had others. Cassie has got to be the first person they've gotten to hang out with other than Ari... well, for a long time. "... We can get to Building 03 by skybridge," they said, trying to tone it down. "Over here."

Geoff gave her an insulted look, "I could totally take him. That freak's strong, but he's not stronger than a bullet. And I wouldn't be getting into it with him without a heavy dose of gunpowder and lead." He flicked his trenchcoat as he spoke, trying to look as cool and confident as possible. Because he was. Cool. And Confident. That was his middle name. It was a rather long name, but one he totally deserved.
Jack's brow furrowed, looking incredibly confused for a good five seconds. He hadn't enjoyed it. That was preposterous. "Just stop talking." he tried to sound tough, but there was a tiny soft note, as he tried to mask the plea. He'd rather not think about this anymore. He just wanted to beat Piper up a little bit, then go complain to his sister about what had happened. So he lowered his shoulder and charged him like a bull, planning to knock his smug little face into the common room floor.
Anna was currently trying to block out the mental image of her brother draped over Piper. It wasn't working. She silently wept for her lost innocence.

Lilah whimpered, reaching for the snacks like they would save her life from impending doom. "Maybe it's Seven, who knows! I don't care though, I just want snacks, so if you want to go say hey to your beloved, be my guest!"
Hollis didn't like how this plan was sounding. "Okay, but you know who does have wits? Anna does. And I really don't think you can attack one without having the other a part of this. So can we just... do something that's a mild inconvenience and not something that will make us targets?"
Cassie laughed dismissively. "Oh, don't worry about it! Believe me your rambling is a lot more comprehensible than man is. And, uh, sorry if I don't talk much. I'm not really a taller. Besides that, uh, aforementioned rambling." Her speech slowed. Oh, she was doing that right now, wasn't she? Whoops. As they passed a hallway that branched off, she spotted the girl who had saved her earlier. She looked... upset. Why was everyone around here so sad? "Hey, give me just a moment," she directed towards Riandylan, jogging down to greet Anna with a bubbly wave and warm smile. "Hello! It was Anna, wasn't it? Are you feeling okay?"

[ rip anna im so sorry ]
Piper frowned and held his arm out to brace himself, but another wave of nausea caught him by surprise. He didn't have enough time to react before Jack barreled into him and he was sent sprawling to the floor, head hitting the hardwood with a loud crack. His vision swam for a moment as he struggled to catch his breath, rolling onto his side in a daze. Already his upper hand had been lost, and now the real beat-down was going to come. He'd never experienced Jack's strength personally, and at the moment he really didn't want to to, nor did he want to ever. Sucking in a breath, he kicked out at Jack's shins in an effort to knock him over. "Just eff off, will ya?"
Wisteria simply raised a brow at Hollis, scoffing a little. "Yeah, I get that. Do you have any other bright ideas? Cuz I'm all ears, Mr. Braur," she gestured with her open hand to him, beckoning him to give her something worthwhile. It wasn't going to be as dramatic as they expected, but she rather enjoyed watching Hollis squirm. Her gaze flickered over to Geoff and she laughed a little. "You and I both know they don't allow real guns on campus. Unless of course you're holding out on me."
Stile just grumbled something to himself and let go of her, knowing her mind was already somewhere else. He tugged at his hood and played with the fur between his fingers, trying to think about what to do. It would probably be best to just forget about it, not waste anymore effort on some stupid Class A kid that didn't matter. But the faint sound of the music just wouldn't make him forget. "I think you should probably stop me-" he said as he turned to head to the dorms.

For a moment, she stared at them. Her breath hitched in her throat and she closed the door beside her as she stood beside the entrance. She didn't interfere, but watched for a long moment. Seeing Jack charge Piper, made her eyes widen and her hand cover her mouth. The flowing stench of lavender overflowed into her corner of the room, and she moved forward in attempts to stop the brawl. "Hey hey! We're in the same class he-here!" she cried out, in hopes to grasp their attention. Pain crackled her nerves, the mutation finally ending over her cheeks and spreading over her jawline and up to her temple in a range of 2-4th degree burns. She didn't care- as long as she stopped them she would be willing to face their looks or whatever after wards. "Cmon Jack! Piper, please don't," she added as she nervously pranced along the wall where they had originally been pressed up on.

Caspian smirked when he saw his lackey and muscleman Frank. With his arms crossed over his chest and leaning against the wall Frank waved to his friend. Frank was pretty tall and looked older than his actual age. He has short brown hair and a fairly long beard. "So Big C what did you have to tell me?" He asked curiosity in his tone. "Thought we have been over this. You never call me that!" Caspian didn't exactly like being called that except by certain persons. "However I have a rumor that will take this school by storm!" He swiftly explained what went down between Jack, Piper and Alessandra. Though he had to pause to answer his phone. Frank looked annoyed but knew Caspian always answered his phone. "This is Caspian speaking." He said wondering who this could be.

Riandylan smiled, relieved. And how funny - they worried they talked too much, Cassie worried that she talked too little. What a pair they made! They paused, not catching Cassie's later words but quickly guessing as Cassie hurried over to someone who looked a little more than distressed. The look on her face made Riandylan press their hand to their chest and trot over, tilting their head in concern. "What's wrong?" they signed, forgetting to speak out loud.

Jack grunted as suddenly something struck his legs, just as he had forced Piper to the ground. Falling, he managed to snap his hands out, each smacking the floor on either side of Piper's head. He just barely caught himself, face inches from Piper's. Looking down at him, he blinked, then slowly lifted his head towards where Alessandra stood, watching. His eyes narrowed and he grinned, "What, you want to join? I promise, a little roughness never hurt anyone." He really couldn't learn to keep his mouth shut, could he?
Geoff shrugged, "I might have a few friends on the outside. I'm sure I could get ahold of one if we really wanted it." Grinning, he gestured to the phone, "Put him on speaker and let's get this train a-rolling. Ruining those two could be so much fun."

Alessandra's face went bright red out of embarrassment. She moved over, hand outstretching as if she was originally going to hold out her hand to him to take. With that, she made sure to slap Jack across the cheek with a loud smack and crouched down to be eye to eye. "No hard feelings amore. But as much as your cute and handsome grin wants me to join in the sprawl, I don't think I can win in the turn of events. Too small, and quite frankly, I don't feel like doing activity after I ate." Her smile lightened her words as she flashed Jack a win. She reached forward, gently gripping his chin and poking his nose with her free hand. "Maybe next time? I'd love me a bit of Jackie and Piper and teeth," she stated with her gaze flicking over to Piper and casting him her own wink.

[ make Frank canon ]
[ gotta keep things interesting, yeah? ]
Piper flinched as Jack landed, face close, expecting another hit somewhere, but when it didn't come he flicked his eyes open. He turned his head away, about to shove Jack off of him when he heard him speak to someone that was definitely not him and another voice. Glancing over, he spotted Alessandra, eyes wide as he glanced between her and the guy practically sitting on him. Oh god. He drew in a breath and winced when Jack was slapped, eyes going wide at her words and her wink and this whole situation. Now he was definitely lost, and vaguely concerned, especially flustered, and wanted out. His heart raced and he reached up, pressing a fist to Jack's chest to push him off. "Jack, please-"
Wisteria grinned over at Geoff and hit the speaker phone button, placing the phone on the table between the three of them. "Helllooo Caspian, it's your dearest friend Wisteria. I was just wondering if you had a little info on Jack and Anna for me. Can you do that?" she asked in a sweet voice, balancing her elbow on the desk and resting her chin in her hand, looking expectant.

Caspian pulls away to wink at Frank. "It's your crush Wisteria." This was payback for calling him big C. Frank did his best to hide his blush. "Come on man that was like a year ago, I'm over her!" Caspian chuckled before going to back to his phone. "Ah depends on what kind of info you want. I do have something rather juicy on Jack though and it involves Piper and Alessandra. The rumor had to start somewhere and telling Wisteria and whoever ws with her seemed like a good idea to him.
