Rainer gave a small smile to the newcomer, an apologetic look at them for the water pouring from the sprinklers above them: his greenhouse humid and perfect in his expert opinion. The downpour didn’t bother him but no doubt bothered the other.

“You’ve come just at watering time- come outside, I can dry us off”

Murchadh had been sulking in his room for far too long hence why he was exploring. The Atlantean looked up at the sprinklers as they went off. “I have no issue with the water, I actually find it comforting.” The sprinklers didn’t come close to the ocean, but it calmed him all the same. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to stay here for a moment longer.”

The cut on her lip stung, but not as much as what had sparked the fight. freak. mutie. The names tasted bad on her tongue. She’d heard worse, but years had taught her never to let an insult go unpunished. Some might argue that she was only proving them right, all the politicians and protesters and assholes. But she didn’t care; it felt good, and it shut up at least of the thousands of voices. And even if she’d pay the price for it now, in the dean’s office, it would be worth it. Thalia looked up as someone walked in, mentally bracing for a shitstorm. “Before you say anything, he had it coming.”

Apparently the way he continued to interact with his peers was unacceptable and he needed a real attitude adjustment. Of course the young prince strongly disagreed. He was convinced he was above them and they therefore deserved all his blind rage. His opinion was not a popular one and it had landed him in the dean’s office yet again. He raised a brow in interest before taking a seat. “I didn’t plan on saying anything. But since you brought it up, I sincerely hope that he got whatever he deserved.”

“quick question. how do i make myself look more intimidating? ‘cause a little old lady just pushed right passed me today and a dude wolf whistled me. i gotta dye my hair and start wearing dark make up, right? ‘cause i cannot be dealing with this anymore. this is my villain origin story.”

“I don’t think you necessarily need to change your looks to be more intimidating. Perhaps you just need to change the way you carry yourself. It would also help if you didn’t let people walk over you. Next time someone wrongs you, call them out.”

“Obviously. Do you know how many asswipes complain that they can’t live without their caffeine addiction? How many asswipes can figure out what fucking drink they want? One less person makes the lines a little bit shorter.” Galileo wasn’t a talker, but for this, they were beyond thankful. “Fucking bingo right there,” Galileo agreed, mostly because they didn’t care for the shitty little policemen that sat in police cars with sugared powder tinting their lips and jelly staining their uniforms. Pathetic. “The fucking crime here is atrocious. Between all the theft and shit, wouldn’t you think a hero or the police can fucking do one thing right?” 

“No.” He said bluntly. “I try to avoid spending too much time on the surface and coffee isn’t in Atlantis.” If anyone had complained about it around him, he most definitely had tuned it out. He paused briefly. “Still, I can see why that would be a nuisance.” Murchadh laughed, not surprised by how little had been done to control the crime. “You would think at the very least all the so-called heroes around here would do something about it. I was under the impression they were all over things like this.”

“That’s because candy is one of the greatest things and no one can say otherwise.” She said with a bit of glee. “Well it couldn’t hurt to learn you know. I mean you’re only going to be here a few times but shouldn’t you at least spend your time up here having some fun at least instead of just um, you know sulking?” Irey didn’t mean for it to come out but her mouth somehow managed to beat her mind.  

“I suppose if I will ever miss something from the surface it’ll be candy, and perhaps some of your other food.” Maybe that wasn’t all he would miss. The longer he spent time on the surface, the harder it was to blindly hate everything about it. Of course he would never admit that. Murchadh seemed conflicted for a moment before responding with his usual confidence. “It would be unwise to enjoy my time here too much.” To grow attached to this place in any way. “I have far better things to do than play games anyway and shouldn’t waste my time with such silly distractions.”

“Keep looking at me like that and I swear, you’re going to regret it.”

"You’re a funny one, surface dweller.” Murchadh laughed as if the other had been joking. “Your words don’t frighten me and you certainly don’t possess the authority to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do.”

“That’s a fucking blessing if I’ve ever heard of one,” Galileo turned to the other, not envious, but curious as to the rare select few in the world that didn’t like coffee. “There need to be more people like you in the world, that way it shortens coffee lines so my drink doesn’t get fucking cold.” There was also the benefit of saving  money, but Galileo didn’t care about that. They could just try and rob another bank, see if Lux was down for their old Bonnie and Clyde moments. “It wasn’t worth the hassle, four bucks down the drain with the coffee. Plus, it didn’t feel like the time and place. Cops, the lot of them were getting their donuts and coffee. You gotta make a scene where you’re least likely to be pinned against the wall with handcuffs twisted on your wrists.” 

“Because I don’t care for coffee...?” The statement made him a bit curious. Surfacers were certainly a strange kind. Even after spending more time around them, he was no closer to figuring them out. “I suppose your reasoning is sound.” He thought the world could benefit from having more people like him simply because he thought he was so much better than most people. Murchadh shook his head. “I fail to see the appeal of being handcuffed by them. It’d be more embarrassing than anything else considering they can’t do their jobs well enough to do anything about the crime around here.”

“God,” Galileo hissed out as they glared at their drink that was way too cold. “This is the most ridiculous thing ever. Wait twenty minutes for a drink, get the drink, and turns out it’s cold as shit.” Trashing their drink, Galileo turned to face someone behind them on the sidewalk. “Whatever the fuck you do, don’t bother grabbing a coffee from there. You’ll get frostbite after three sips.” Sure, they might be slightly dramatic, but Galileo was looking forward to the coffee. “Waste of four bucks if you ask me.” 

“I wasn’t intending to. I still find the taste of coffee unpleasant.” Murchadh failed to see the appeal of the drink. Why so many surfacers claimed to need it was a mystery to him. “If it was such a disappointment why didn’t you try to get your money back?” He certainly would have caused a huge scene until he either got a refund or the drink he had expected.

“I mean techinically that’s what they try to sell you, the idea that you need luck to win these type of games. But i’ve also read that all these games also have like a trick to always win. I’ve discovered a few but not all of them so far.” She said as she looked at the skee ball machine. “I guess some of the prizes here aren’t the best. Like the erasers and other small trinkets, but you can never go wrong with the candy and the electronics they have.”

The Atlantean shook his head, “I’m not sure I want to figure out all the tricks to these games.” Still not convinced that any of the so called prizes were worth it. “I don’t think I would have much use for electronics. I do not intend to stay on the surface for too long and they would be useless back home." He paused, “I will admit that I have developed a slight weakness to these candies though.” He wasn’t sure if candy was worth all this frustration though.

“You can wear sunglasses and a pair of headphones.“ Irey said with a laugh. “Sorry, i was trying to be funny. The point is to try and win tickets so at the end you get to exchange them in for prizes. I guess you can develop skills to but I have no idea what they are. I’ve had my eye on this one stuffed animal that i’m sure my little sister Thea would go crazy over so every ticket helps me to my goal.”

“Perhaps I will do that if I ever return to this place.” He highly doubted he would considering how frustrated he was at the moment. “Ah perhaps these are games of luck, that would explain it.” His arrogant demeanor returning almost immediately. Of course these games didn’t require skill, if they did he would surely be better at them. “Hmm well it appears I am wasting my time here then. I doubt anyone back home would want any of those prizes.”

staying in the library after hours was common practise for lysander. he liked the alone time, and the quiet, and he’d very quickly earned the trust of the librarians. he was far too gentle and soft to be any threat to books or safety, but he was always happy to leave whenever the security guards eventually told him it was time for bed. time had escaped him tonight, and he didn’t realise that until he heard a noise somewhere else in the library. 

raising to his feet slowly, the redhead nervously looked around, eyes trying to adjust to the dark beyond the little lamp on his table. “hello?” he called out. “is somebody there?”

“Unfortunately.” The young student mumbled more to himself. There were countless places he’d rather be right now, but for now he was stuck here looking for anything to help him understand his assignments. “Continue with whatever you were doing. I’m just looking for a few things and then I’ll be out of here.”

“If you were in Hogwarts, which house would you be sorted into?” Devyn had recently gotten into Harry Potter and she fell head over heels for it immediately. Now she asked anyone she could find about anything and everything with the series. “I’m definitely Hufflepuff, without a doubt.”

Failing to understand references that most people seemed to know was growing rather tiring. “I don’t know what any of that means.” While he didn’t necessary want to become too familiar with the surface world, he hated having to constantly ask questions.

“ that is… definitely a START , “ gaia was glad to see someone else enjoying the party… even if they didn’t explicitly say that they were. 

“If nothing else, it’s at least providing a much needed break from all the schoolwork I’ve been doing.” He continued to try to justify his lack of annoyance.
