Checkmate

I'm Jace Izzet. I've spent the last 17 years of my life becoming the premier international chess champion. With my persistence and theories, I can survive this game. After all, I never lose. Ever. ---~~-- ((Independent RP blog for my DR OC. He is part of the InsanityStudents rp group, but other rp blogs are welcome.))

"Wha…Wh-Wh-Why!?" Kouta couldn’t help himself from yelling out frantically, placing the kendo sword aside to walk over to the fallen boy. Kouta was shaking. Was it fear, nerves, anger? He couldn’t decide and he wasn’t sure he wanted to know. What he did want to know, was Jace.

"D-Do you…do you think this is funny…?" Kouta stared down at Jace, a foreign emotion weaseling through his veins. Much like Jace’s personality itself, he couldn’t quite place it. He was angry. He was angry at himself and angry at Jace for pointing out the reasons he was angry with himself. He was angry and afraid and hurt and none of it made sense any more.

"Why…Why are you acting like this? Don’t you know…Don’t you know what’s happening?" Kouta stared down at the pad and pen on the floor, small water droplets staining the page. Were those from Kouta?  

"Just…J-JUST STOP IT!" He let out a horse yell, wiping his eyes to find that yes, those were his tears on the floor. Probably.

[jaceizzet]

Jace sat back up and settled on the ground. He look at Kouta, who was a complete mess. Jace let out a large sigh before taking a moment before deciding what to say.

"You know what? I really wish I could. I wish I could stop everything you're doing. And what I'm doing. And what every single person here is doing and has done. I don't know what's happening even a little bit," Jace added as he looked around the little training room with steady eyes for the first time. It was badly lit and overall depressing, much like the rest of the tiring campus they had all been living in. Jace couldn't stand the sight of it. He focused back on Kouta. Jace gave a wink and laid back down. He cleared his throat and smacked his lips a few times. "But you know what I'm gonna do friends? I'm gonna swim right up to Kenny the Fish down in Old Mexico and tell him I wont spy on all of you anymore, right? Jace asked.

"Wh..Wha-What? I..It’s…H-A-B-I—…w-w-wait a second!" Kouta stammered, taking hold of the yellow notepad and bringing it back down to the table with more force than he had intended.

"W..Wha…Why are you…doing this?" Kouta asked with a timid voice while he stared at Jace with wary eyes. Nothing he did made sense. He was treating everything like some sort of joke. Like it was a game. He was acting like Lev, but worse. At least Kouta could almost understand Lev. But this was…why was he doing this? Was he making fun of him? Kouta flinched and stared down at the notebook.

[jaceizzet]

Jace opened his hand and dropped the pad of paper on the ground and stared and Kouta's scared face. "I'll tell you why," Jace said in a sobered voice. "I'll tell you why, why I'm doing...THIS!" Jace yelled out in the hollow room as he thew the pen in his still tightly clenched fist down at the paper on the floor. "Because Kenny told me to! Yeah, those words somehow came out of his mouth! I'm just going to follow....and...watch! And write! Lots of that to!" Jace fell to his knees, hands over his face. He couldn't bear looking at the other boy's pain and confusion.

"I-I…" Kouta watched the boy curiously, furrowing his eyebrows and bringing his newly attained weapon close to him instinctively. What was he doing? Was he taking notes…on him? But why? Kouta took a few hesitant steps toward the chess master, hoping to peer over to look at what he was so intent on writing.

[jaceizzet]

Jace was starting to pay more attention to the notepad he was writing on than the boy he was trying to write about. The colorful yellow paper was stealing his attention. Jace was able to keep track of it, though.  The curious shota approached me. I remained still as not to disturb it in it's natural habtii....habititi... Jace scribbled out the word. He looked up and showed Kouta the writing. "How do you spell habitat?"

[shslflyhigh]

Amelia, almost -ALMOST- used to Jace’s antics at this point, simply rolled her eyes, walked up to him, and proceeded to drag him away from the door, his little act not at all phasing her as he kicked and yelled and flailed his fists about. 

"Honest…I think I know why they call that darned cat Insanity now…maybe it really is contagious!" 

[jaceizzet]

Jace stopped his flailing when he heard the word insanity. He froze, an arm and a leg in midair, and spun around so look down at Amelia. "Now why would you say that? Are you loosing it? You wouldn't be feeling a little loopy, would you? You really should get that checked out, it could be dangerous...for the rest of us." Jace finished, a darker shadow overtaking his words.

[shslflyhigh]

"AGH!" Amelia nearly hit the ceiling when she jumped from the shock of his voice in her ear. “Don’t do that!" She brushed at her hair like he might have infected it with crazy or something. 

"And yea, maybe we should start calling you the Super High School Level Raving Crocodile from now on, huh? Ugh, you’ll get yourself killed if you sneak up to people like that…"

[jaceizzet]

Jace raised his eyebrows, then lowered them so he was squinting, then raised them again.

"By who? By you? Or even, *gasp*...By good ol' Kenny himself!? Oh Kenny how could you?! Oh the betrayal!" Jace cried out in a forced hoarse voice. He took a sharp right and pushing himself into a dormitory door. He hit it with his fist in fake, heartbroken agony.

[shslflyhigh]

I’m bored and I just wanna fly and eat cookies and I hate this place! An’ I hate everyone here except for Lev! And maybe Kouta…and Elizabeth…Jace is sorta strange though…

[jaceizzet]

"Sorta strange? I never!" Jace commented a few inches behind Amelia's head. The girl was in her own little negative bubble she didn't hear Jace perched over her.

"The correct adjective would be more along the lines of mind-cracked genius or raving crocodile," Jace said in the most matter of fact tone.

"I-Izzet-san…?" Kouta flinched as Jace raised his hand, only to find that he was simply shushing him. For a long amount of time. Enough time, in fact, for the boy to feel extremely awkward. What was the meaning of this? Jace maneuvered around him with…not the pinnacle of grace, and settled behind some clutter. In return, Kouta merely stood; still as a statue aside from some nervous shaking.

"Wha…what are you doing?" Kouta stared back at the boy wide-eyed, out of confusion more than anything else. Jace certainly was a strange person by any account—and he would know. He had been keeping an eye on the curious character at the request of Kenneth Campbell. The magician shivered at the thought.   

[jaceizzet]

Jace was happy to be asked such a question, for it meant that he was doing this right. A person being spied on know that they are being observed in secret. Jace scribbled down what Kouta had said.

"Are...you...doing. There!" Jace said triumphantly with a click of the pen. Kouta must be a boring person if all he does is stand and stare at the wall asking questions, Jace thought to himself.

“Ah…S-Sorry,” Kouta mumbled, instinctively bringing his gaze to the floor and relaxing his grip on the bamboo sword, allowing the tip to sink to the ground momentarily.

“I didn’t expect anyone to be here,” He explained, bringing the shinai close to him; almost like a child with their security blanket. He hadn’t even willed himself to take a glance at the person who had approached him yet—would they be angry? Threatened? Perhaps even sympathetic? The boy bit his lip anxiously, waiting for some sort of response.

[jaceizzet]

Jace's toothy smile didn't descend a centimeter when he felt the wind from the stick collide with his body. Once the boy let the stick touch the ground Jace straightened himself and looked down at the nervously scared Kouta. Jace lifted his index finger to his lips and released a long "Shhhhhhh" before maneuvering around the boy and heading to the back of the room. He tried to weave into the clutter, much unsuccessfully, until he was happy with where he was. Then, Jace pulled out a pen and a pad of paper and looked attentively at Kouta, hardly blinking.

“…Where are my damn hair pieces? I can’t see a god damn thing with my bands like this! Oh… well, at least I still look hot either way.”

{ Here is Lev’s look for the Speed Dating event. xD It’s so weird to draw him with his hair down. I personally prefer it up but eh. It’s good practice to draw his hair in different styles. }

Suzu did an odd thing then by grabbing a large looking book out of a pile and chucking it at a trash can below. To her surprise, the book plopped into the trash without issue. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the other reason you’re doing this is because you’re angry. But you’re mature enough to channel your anger in another activity. …Of course, I could be wrong. I don’t know you well enough to make assumptions, after all.” She had to admit, tossing that one book into the garbage made her feel a little less angry herself. She was mad at their captor, Insanity. The cat seemed to delight in watching her friends kill each other.  If only this could end, but she knew it wasn’t at all that easy.

[jaceizzet]

Jace nodded when the book landed in the can. After the empty clashing noise died down he stood up.

"You're right about that that, you don't know me well enough to make assumptions," Jace said while stepping towards the shiny new stairs. He paused for a moment while admiring them.

"But you know what I realized after the first few months of being stranded up on this bookshelf? Neither do I."

[jaceizzet]

[shslstuntgal]

Suzu was confused by Jace’s facial expression. Did he really not see the stairs? They were quite close by, really. Apparently he hadn’t, for he looked a bit exhausted. His next comment however, was what confused her the most. Days? How many days exactly, she wondered? Of course, she wouldn’t know until she asked, now would she? 

“I see…” She replied simply. “I don’t suppose you might be…hungry, or anything like that.” Suzu took out a granola bar, which she found in the vending machine earlier. Luck had it that when she went to buy one, a second bar popped out by mistake. 

[jaceizzet]

Jace shook his hand at the food, dismissing the kind offer. He really wasn't all that hungry.

"Surprisingly, no, I'm not really hungry," Jace said with a bit of curiosity in his voice.

"It seems, after the first week or so I didn't feel hungry at all. Why is that, I wonder?"

[jaceizzet]

[shslstuntgal]

Suzu shook her head at his response. Well, if it was really a concern, Insanity would probably clean it up later. Just like…everything else she’d cleaned up in the past. Why did she even bother reprimanding him as he went along with his game? Perhaps, without mentioning it though, he had an odd ‘point’. There was no one else in the library, so perhaps it was silly to worry about the noise level. 

Suzu climbed up the stairs to meet up with him moments later. “It certainly looks like it. What…brought on this form of entertainment then?” She clutched the book she caught to her chest, hoping he wouldn’t try to chuck it again. At least let her read it to the end, dude!

[jaceizzet]

Jace examined the stairs that led Suzu up to the top of the bookcase as if they were made out of magic. He hadn't even noticed them when he got up there. He took the time to scale the entire bookcase shelf by shelf to get to his vantage point. Nobody said anything about stairs.

"Boredom, sheer, utter, unadulterated boredom. I've been up here for days, after all."

And it wasn’t like he hadn’t forgotten that incident back at the last investigation, either. This kid hadn’t really scored any point with Kenneth after that.

He placed a playful hand at the base of Jace’s shelf, leaning some of his weight against it. “I suggest you hold onto that dictionary you’ve got, if you don’t want take a little dive yourself.”

[jaceizzet]

The second Jace saw the fiery hair he tensed and started for his escape. He was going to take a dive before he realized how far he was up, and how hard it would be to get around Ken and through the only doorway. Jace was trapped atop the huge bookshelf he barely managed to get up on. There wasn't a way to run out of this one.

"I hardly think that there was an administration planning on having anybody read," Jace paused, chucking another book at the bin in the hallway, knocking it over with force to spare.

"These books," Jace finished. He looked at the mentioned dictionary and flipped to a random page, staring down at Ken who was growing an all to smirk face. 

"Hircismus, noun. An offensive armpit odor. That's a good word, I could use it when I talk about a few people," Jace said. He slammed the book shut, which sent an echo through the library.

“…You should probably be quiet when you’re in a library, Izzet-san.” She said with a calm shrug “That said, it seems you’ve helped me find what I was looking for. Odd coincidence.” She tried her best not to hold an amused look, but was losing that calm. While she wasn’t upset, his actions were so odd, she may have found them slightly amusing. 

[jaceizzet]

"Oh, quiet?" Jace asked in a voice loud enough for Suzu to hear, and anybody else if anybody actually ever came into the library. Jace picked up another book at held it in front of his face. He raised a finger and said "Shhhh," to the cover of the book. He then readied his aim and threw it into the hallway, terribly off his target. But at least it was quiet.

"At least your the only person who's said anything about the noise, I've been at this for hours."

*Fwufmp*...*CRASH*

"There we go!" Jace shouted out. 

The scene would have given any real school faculty member a heart attack. Books were scattered across the floor just outside the doorway of the library. A single silver trash can stood in the middle of the now slightly damaged books, a single novel resting inside the still ringing metal container. Through the doorway and into the library, one would find it hard to find the culprit. Only if that person would know to look up to the top of one of the very high bookshelves would they find Jace seated rather comfortably around a nest of books, towering over the library.

Jace readied another book, ready to try and replicate his previous score, but before he sent the book flying, he heard footsteps. Keeping quiet, he readied his aim and waited. The moment he saw a pair of feet, he sent the book flying. It landed just shy of the can, but close enough to give whoever was in the danger zone a need to jump backwards.

"5 points!" Jace called out, hoping the lure whoever his unlucky target was into the library.

Kenneth held his breath as the other advanced on him, flinched when he touched his shoulder. Was this kid for real? The was a bloodbath just beyond those doors, and he was making cracks. He was not in the mood for these kind of games.

He tried to dig his heels into the floor, grappling with boy behind him. “Don’t touch me, you sick fu-” was what he managed, before he tumbled face first back into scene. Face first back into the blo-

Oh God.

Oh God.

[jaceizzet]

In hindsight, he probably should have watched where he was going. But nonetheless, Kenneth was busy having a very, very good look at the crime scene and it was mostly Jace's fault. The second that Jace saw what had happend he immediately turned around and was out the door. He hadn't had to run that fast in years. He bolted down the hallways and past students, and didn't even stop for a breath until he decided that he couldn't be found easily. He stood breathless, hands on his knees  huffing while he tried to figure out what to do next. There was only one place with a reliable lock, Jace reasoned. And with that thought, Jace was lock in his room.

"Whoops."

Once Jace heard the intercom turn on, he bolted up from his seat facing a window in the library, making the chair fly backwards behind him. He started for the door, and only stopped for half a second to knock a few books off a bookshelf behind him as he hasted.

He followed the first stream of people into the mess hall. The sight was appalling. Such a mess. Some people weren't helping, either throwing up off in a corner or simply tracking blood further on the ground. Jace stayed clear of the radiating mess, but kept an eye on the lab monkeys doing his research. It was far too gross this time to investigate, and Jace was glad that a few others were more willing. They found a few useful things last time, at least.

Jace first just watched a few people as they entered and, once again, did one of three things. They would either come in, start muttering about how it was "fake" or "a trick". Or they would lose a mediocre lunch and go in the exact opposte direction from where they came. Or, they would dive right in, trying to prove who was the best Holmes. After Jace observed the variety of reactions, he went to do something better. Starting on the far end of the cafeteria, Jace went to collect every single napkin dispenser and bring them over to one of the largest tables that didn't have any sign of blood. He stopped to take a little bit of a break after he collected fifteen or so.
