Day One of Teaching

Devlin put on a light smile. "Devlin Nightshade. Yeah, a lone teenager in my tribe taught me how to do it and I sort of got the hang of it. It's my favorite thing to do other than acting and writing. What's your name?"

Chel walked around the hallways for a bit before noticing she grew lost. She rubbed her forehead before eventually making her way to the drama class. She opened the door hesitantly knowing she was really late and peeked her head through before walking in. She closed her eyes and quickly sat in any nearby seat knowing people were staring at her because of her arriving late. She placed her bag down and crossed her arms on the table as she buried her head hoping they turned their attention away.

Jim hesitated, "Elijah Blake" he muttered with a small frown. He hoped he wouldn't have to keep up the persona for too long. What was so bad about being human anyway? Surely some creatures could control themselves. "So it appears we have a lot in common, Devlin" he chuckled, "you got a nickname?" he raised an eyebrow. He looked over, seeing Chel was late. He smirked as she buried her face in her arms, as if that would draw the attention away.

A one-sided smile crept across Vlad's face. So far, things were going well. Many of them had something he could help them along with. He chose to ingnore the late comers in order to address those who had spoken up.
"For you two, music is your inspiration. It's a powerful one for many out there." he told Ariella and Aladdin. Next, he turned to Elijah.
"Passions encouraged by a parent are often the most strong." he added. Finally, the vampire looked at Devlin. Now, his face held somber understanding.
"And you, very eloquently put, young man. Some do see life in a passionate way. While I cannot speak for everyone else, I know what you mean about cherishing it." he told the boy, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder for a minute.
"And what about the rest of you? Do you have such feelings about something you love?" Vlad asked the others.

Kitty phased through the classroom floor and said as she hurried to her seat, "Sorry I'm late. I tried to look for this class."

Chel slowly lifted her head and bit her lip as she looked at the teacher trying to get herself distracted in case they continued to look. She nibbled on her lower lip having no clue to where they all where and took out a pencil in case she need to write notes. She looked at the lead seeing it was broken as she sighed before rolling it back and forth on the table. Looking in her bag, she noticed the egg from the dragon class was fine and looked at the board as she tapped her pencil on the desk. She heard the teacher and thought about something she loved making her frown. She didn't have anything she cared for. She grew up heartless in a way. She nibbled on her lower lip and tried to get herself distracted.

"Ah yes, do come in. We were just having a discussion about how this all works." Vlad welcomed the young woman. He indicated that she find a seat. As she went to sit, he noticed another girl taking notes. Maybe she was one of those students.

Ariel stand up from her seat placing her hands on the table "So do we get to be in a play? Or write a play and cast people to start in it i mean this is drama class and I could think it would be cool to start a play early in the school year." she said very fast like her had 178889978357535 red bulls in her system. "Oh oh oh maybe umm..." she glanced over at Eli "Maybe he can be the writer or better yet Director!" she cheered jumping up and down making her skit lift up and down from her jumping.

Devlin looked at the teacher and gave a light smile. He was glad the teacher saw his answer that way. Ever since his father sent him into a comma and murdered his mother. Devlin has been scared. He was starting to feel safe and secure. He knew that Six would have been proud of him as well. He looked at Elijah. "No. I don't have a nickname. Atleast not yet."

Jim looked over at Ariel with an amused expression as she suddenly went hyper. However his amused expression faded, replaced with a frown as Ariel pointed at him, making him raise his hands. "Wait, what? I never asked for that!" he looked at the teacher and shook his head. "No way" he looked at Ariel with a frown. He looked at Devlin, "that's alright" he chuckled and shrugged his shoulders before pulling out the seat next to him and nodding for Devlin to sit if he wanted to.

She sighed and placed her hand on the desk as the palm of her hand faced her. She grabbed a marker and drew figures on her skin. She looked up as she raised an eyebrow at how energetic Ariel was making her breathe a slight chuckle as she jumped up and down. She averted her eyes back to the palm of her hand as she doodled random stuff on it before looking at her hand seeing a bunch of black scribble making her hesitate. She looked at the marker noticing it wasn't washable and was about to face-palm before stopping herself.

Kitty asked as she raised her hand, "Will there be musicals?"

Moses looked at Ariel with an incredulous expression. He didn't realise how excited one could be about a play. He glanced around the classroom before sighing and rubbing his eyes. He was beginning to feel tired from his journey and crossed his arms on the desk. He rested his chin on his arms and watched as Eli grew frustrated, making him smirk. He looked over at Chel seeing her scribbling randomly and raised an eyebrow as she stopped herself from face-palming. He turned his attention back to the teacher.

Devlin took the seat. "Thanks." he said. He smiled.

"Perhaps a play is a good idea." Vlad replied, trying to hold in a laugh at Ariel's enthusiasm. They could almost see his fangs if he did laugh. "The theater has a way of giving people a feeling of accomplishment. What I should ask is what kind of production would you like to do? Musical or otherwise, it is up to you what you want."

Jim face-palmed and leaned on the desk. He was about to protest against the idea of a musical, however there were two musical people in their class. He frowned and rested his head in his hands. He hadn't come to drama to sing and he hoped they wouldn't try making him, because he wasn't one for that.

Chel took out a sheet of paper and placed her scribbled hand on it. She pulled away seeing her hand imprint and breathed a chuckle seeing it could have probably been imprinted on her face if she did.She looked around for a moment and balled her hand up into a fist. She looked up hearing them planning a play or musical making her sigh and look out the window. She noticed Tink sitting still there as she looked out the window as well. Turning her attention to the teacher, she bit her lip knowing she wasn't really into acting and singing.

Kitty smiled and wrote her notes down and musicals. Kitty smirked as she phased through her seat and sat next to Eli and said with a grin as she phased through the seat, "Someone is in the dumps."

Tink turned her head, hearing them talk about a musical and flew closer as she clapped her hands excitedly. She did a couple somersaults before raising her arms in enjoyment. She twirled a bit and looked at Ariel with a grin seeing she wasn't the only one feeling excited about this. She could be so much help in a play. She began to think of the things she could do as she grinned and moved to sit on a random desk.

Kitty wanted to play her music as she hummed her favorite song.

Well, it seemed like Aladdin had something in common with the red-haired vampire that sat not too far from him. She certainly was an eager one, talking like a little kid that was on a sugar rush. But hey, minds that worked fast were good for him. "Hmm, I like that idea," he said when she suggested a play. The satyrs were a big fan of Dionysus, the god of wine and a patron of the theater. He laughed at Eli's reaction when Ariellia suggested that he be the director. "Come on man, everyone's gotta pitch in," he said, grinning. "If you don't want to work behind the scenes, maybe we should stick you in front." He laughed as Vlad asked what kind of play they would like to do. "Hmm, how about a comedy?" he asked. "Making people laugh is always amusing. It could even be a musical comedy, if you preferred." Of course, usually, the only person who Aladdin made laugh was himself, but there were those times when some of his jokes got a chuckle or two from others.

Esmeralda rushed from classroom to classroom, before finally finding drama, much to her relief. She saw that class had already started, making her pause. She opened the door and rushed in before sitting down next to Chel, "sorry I'm late!" she exclaimed before leaning on the table. She looked at Chel's hand and chuckled before sitting up, "so what did I miss?" she smiled.

Kitty asked she looked at Aladdin, "Who are you? Never seen you here."

The vampire turned her head looking over at aladdin was he at the school before she couldn't remember maybe he was new? Cupping her hands together as he agreed to the play and teased Eli about putting him in front if he didn't want to do back stage made her giggle a little. Sure he was pretty cute or least that's what she thought "Ooo, a musical comedy. We get to make everybody laugh and cry!" she cheered throwing her hands in the air before looking back at Eli "So what do you say if you don't pick Director the teacher might make you... Sing." she said wiggling her fingers at the end before giggling.

Jim looked at Kitty glumly before shrugging. "Whatever" he muttered and leaned back against the chair. He could still have some part in a musical. Maybe the set up or something. Yet again, they hadn't even organised what they were doing yet and he was already sulking about something that hadn't happened. He looked over at Aladdin, "yeah I guess so" he shrugged. He then grimaced before chuckling, "anything but up front" he raised his hands with a smirk. He looked over as Esmeralda walked in, "we're organising a play" he said and lightly shrugged his shoulders. He rolled his eyes at Ariel and screwed up his nose in displeasure, "fine! That is, if no one else wants to be the director. Just please don't make me sing" he grumbled.
