The Boston Terrier narrow his eyes in contempt.

Children. Children everywhere. He was going to hate this. Although, he did have a soft spot for children in danger but he wouldn’t anyone know that until probably after he dies then he wouldn’t mind his soft puppy heart be known to the world.

Iggy sniffed around, marking the hallways with his ears perked. He liked this. A lot. He probably accidentally peed on some poor kids pants, he really doesn’t care at this point. That’s funny, hilarious he thought to himself. That is until a crowd of annoying ass students piled in the hallway to awe over his cuteness.

Cranky barking ensued.

Eh? What on earth was with this crowd of people? Raphael paused to adjust his spectacles in a mixture of confusion and mild bemusement - he'd been walking to the cafeteria to look over and see if any of the classes he was taking were handing out homework, and if he could do it there, but evidently, other students seemed to have other ideas, effectively blocking his path. It seemed like he wasn't the only one being blocked off, as there was a dog barking in the middle of it all. Was the dog the reason everyone was crowding around?

Now, his canine companion Fondue which...he was secretly trying to keep in his room without his roomie knowing (hopefully, the room-mate didn't question why any food kept in the room vanished very quickly) made Raphael quite fond of dogs, of course, but even he could tell the dog didn't sound too impressed at the general hubbub.

"Excuse-moi, everyone..but could you move aside for a moment? I want to move by." With this polite statement made, the crowd made an opening...which was exactly what the red-haired Parisian had wanted.

"Hey, if you want to get away, chien, then go, now, while everyone's making an opening to let me through!"

Hopefully, he could get to the cafeteria, and the dog could slip away from the crowd like it obviously wanted, in this distraction!

Song of storms

[donutlosehope]

It was with a content smile and a small skip in her step that Aoi began her daily trek around the school grounds. She’d gotten into the habit of leisurely strolls around the place as a cool down from exercising, and now that it was finally getting warmer the swimmer had a lot more ground to cover. It was best to get a head start whenever she could.

She started off with the familiar areas inside the school, just to get her into the right pace. There were already plenty of students passing by and loitering about the place, just as there always were when free time was on and Aoi paid it little mind. There was always some sort of chatter or song on a nearby person’s lips and wait. Song? That wasn’t a usual happening. Aoi wasn’t anywhere near any of the music departments, so then where—oh, right in front of her!

Jeeze, she hadn’t meant to scare the poor guy like that. “Er, no, no, it’s okay! I wasn’t paying attention, either, it’s my fault, too! Erm… you sounded really nice, though! Iiiif that makes you feel better?” Wait, no, that was probably just going to embarrass him even more. Oops. Better move the topic before they spent the day apologizing.

"But, um… you said you were looking for your classrooms, right? If you want some help, I could give you a hand!" Even without his saying so, Aoi had to figure he was new—not even she could forget hair that red. Or a voice so charming, for that matter! But as far as looking for classes went, she’d been in his spot not too long ago. Not helping someone out after being in their shoes was just a jerk move, and it’s not like she had been doing anything too important herself anyway.

Besides, he looked like a nice enough guy. Little shy, maybe, but still nice! It never hurt to be a little friendly. “I mean, I don’t know if I can help find them all, but I’ll give it a shot!”

"Eeh? You do not mind, mademoiselle? Well, that's a relief. I mean, the last thing I want is to annoy people when I'm a new student here, you know? I appreciate the compliment, though - Merci...you're going to make me all embarrassed with praise like that, mademoiselle, really." The swimmer's inner thoughts that the praise would only fluster him more were evidently quite correct, so moving the topic along was indeed the wisest choice here.

"Ah, and you're not only willing to forgive my 'faux pas', but help with directions? Well, all I can say is...Merci, again! I know the majority of my class locations, but World History and French, I'm having trouble finding. Which..is really ironic and silly, given my accent, I suppose, ha-ha..."

Rubbing at the back of his red hair in sheepishness, Raphael then mused: "Oh, in my rambles, I never introduced myself, did I? My name's Raphael Moreau. Might I have the pleasure of...uhm...knowing your name, mademoiselle?"

He wished he could hide behind some of Phantom R's confidence right now, but nooo, that was a bad idea for obvious reasons. Hopefully, the awkwardness would fade soon!

Song of storms

After Phantom R had...flirted with a few people in the effort of getting people to smile a bit, the rhythm thief had promptly slunk back to his dorm and changed back to his 'normal self' before anyone chased he, the thief down. Perhaps that hadn't been the most mature or sensible of ideas, but hey. Some people had smiled, some had not liked it at all, not everyone took the playful flirting as the compliments they were meant to be.

Thoughts aside, the now-bespectacled boy walked around. He didn't know the directions of the school too well, so he honestly didn't know where his classes were. Oh well, he had no objections to finding directions on his own! Feeling so relaxed about the matter, he found a little hum, and then soft notes of 'la di dah' escaping his face - oops, that love for music and rhythm struck yet again.

Raphael really didn't mind, and continued singing to himself - hey, not like he was going through a part of the school where anyone else was right no- wait. He'd just heard footsteps, and his singing was cut short and he turned, his face turning a little flustered.

"Oh...excuse-moi. I didn't realize there was another fellow student in the hallways...didn't mean to make so much noise in trying to find my classes..."

Oh dear, how long had the mademoiselle been listening in? Very embarrassing. Unlike his alter-ego, Phantom R....he was a bit of an introvert in comparison!

(( Now that I've made my first open I figured it'd be fun to do threads for certain people who want one! So like this post for a starter with Raphie, if you wish! 5 likes is the maximum!))

French flirter

Though writing his application to a school and then waking up in said school only mere days (or had it been mere hours? He couldn't accurately determine just how long or short he'd been asleep for) after sending said application off, in reality, it didn't bother the red-haired rhythm lover Raphael too much. Hey, he'd fought an emperor thought to be dead two centuries ago, climbed a floating garden, and survived being shot before, so in comparison, this actually didn't seem strange at all!

Saved the trouble of having to organize a travel method to the school at least, so he was looking on the bright side. Another positive was that seeing as nobody here knew his 'alter ego' Phantom R, so he didn't have to worry as much about 'getting caught'. Yet.

Speaking of Phantom R, for some reason, he felt like going around as his alter ego right now and scoping people out was a good idea. Hey, it'd be nice to make a bit of harmless flirting to bring a smile to people's faces, at least, oui.

Spotting someone nearby, the phantom turned on his most playful grin.

"Ah, Bonjour, mon ami! Is it not a wonderful sunny day today? However, the sun has a bit of competition brilliance-wise, if you are any indication~."

Yes, he would flirt no matter who the stranger was. Hey, even if it made them laugh more than flustered, the basic idea would still be achieved...to get a smile on someone else's face today.
