Curiosity Killed The Cat(Open)

[varien rythoria redwolf]

xx

This place had been so..big..and breath taking. It had been four years since her grandfather had found her,and told her that she had not been a freak- but she was actually a witch. She had been slowly walking up the stairs, her brown eyes had been wide as she stared fascinated tot he moving pictures, magic.. she didn’t understand it. She smiled softly, as she paused- the stairs would creek, and suddenly move. Letting out a soft gasp in shock, as she gripped the railing, the stairs moving.

She laughed softly to herself, shaking her ebony hair dancing along with her head. She looked around.. well..maybe should have turned around. She began walking forward. Nahhh, she continued to walk down the hall, she had been some where on the second floor- she guessed. She paused, she had been in the school’s robes, and stopped looking around. But where had all the students been.. and it seemed a bit.. different.

She paused, maybe she had been on the third floor, quickly moving across the floor, without making a sound she’d look out the window. It had been the third floor, ”Nice..” she grumbled under her breath, she hadn’t exactly made any friends yet, but really for the most part she stayed in her bed, talking to her cat or reading about magic, the concept had been rather interesting to her.

Now, knowing this information that she had been on the third floor, some where in it's corridors- any other person she bet, would have turned around...Varien however had been a rather curious girl,- and as they said Curiosity killed the cat...brushing some hair out of her face, stars decorated around the eye- tattooed there, no one could see but the woman who had been barely nineteen but she had been inked up, both of her arms had been sleeves, tattoos adorned the rest of her body, well her body had been her temple, and she decorated it.

She continued down the hall, humming merrily to herself, as she turned a corner. Good thing it had been early in the day, if it had been night time she might have been creeped out by these ever lasting halls, that seemed to belong in a scare house, she peeked over a corner, and a deviant smirk played on her face.

...But satisfaction brought it back

Decon hated big places. His sense of direction, atleast when he wasn't following someone's trail, was awful. Especially in old buildings likes these. Everywhere in this damn place looked exactly the same. All he had wanted to do was check out some of the classrooms. He didn't know where everything was quite yet but now he suspected that it wouldn't matter if he did know where everything was. He looked around, there were no windows where he currently was so he couldn't even figure out how high up he was. At first he was just going to look out the window and count the windows from the bottom until he got to his floor but he hasn't been able to find any to do that with, and why was there no one here? For a university this place seemed awfully empty.

Decon didn't like the fact that this place seemed devoid of life, made him feel like he somehow slipped into some kind of alternate dimension and there was no way out. When Decon gets frustrated he gets mad. Granted that was his usually response to most things. Ranging from annoyance to self condemnation to confusion, Decon had the bad habit of always getting angry. His short fuse had gotten him in trouble on multiple occasions and now it seemed as if his anger was beginning to swell up again. He stopped, took a deep breathe and and opened his eyes. Instead if their usual Hazel brown they were now and striking yellow, the eyes of a wolf. Decon was a Metamorphomagus. The inherent ability to change his form.

He had no real reason to use his wolf eyes except to follow minute differences in the layout of each room, he thought that by doing this he could give himself a mental image of the place and find out where he was going. Anyone who saw him now would think he was probably going to attack them at any moment. Glowing yellow and and a scowl will do that sort of thing. He enhanced his sense of smell as well. He didn't really know why he did it except for the fact that he wanted too, it didn't even occur to him that he could use his nose to sniff out other students until he caught the wif of someone. They seemed close. Maybe down the corridor to the right.

He turned down that hall was. He still didn't see anyone, however he surmised that if there was another person up here then he could just follow them until they led him out.  As he continued, his footfalls quieted he finally caught up to the student he had been tailing. She had looked out the window and sighed. From the way she grumbled under her breathe  it seemed as if she didn't know her way either. *oh great* Decon thought as he watched her move away from the window she seemed to place a smile on her face and started humming. Decon couldn't help but think that women were weird after seeing this display. He decided that he should probably go up to her and ask her if about where they were, besides two heads would be better than one even if she didn't know a way down.

He jogged to catch up with her and right when he was behind her he placed a hand on her shoulder and looked down at her with his wolf-yellow eyes and asked "Excuse me but by any chance do you know where you are?"

She had her hopes high, she didn’t mind exploring- actually she had planned on doing this anyways, sooo...really it didn’t bother her. She would shover her hands into the pockets of her robes, as her ears twitched slightly and she jumped slightly as she felt a warm hand on her shoulder. Shit! Caught already, she glanced slowly turning her head, and seeing the man and his eyes.

She gave a nervous laugh, and would quickly stumble back away from the man. She paused, how silly of herself.She laughed again, as she would suddenly walk up to the man and tilted her head slightly leaning up to him. "Neat contacts." she paused and took a step back looking around, as she scratched the back of her head, good no one was here...she guessed it had been really easy to get lost here.

”Nope, pretty lost..” she spoke as she looked to him, walking around him- staring at him,looking him over as if a a treasure. Really, she had been curious for all of the wizards, she knew something of pureblood and mudblood. She had been a mudblood though, she saw no difference between them the pure bloods and mudblood, maybe this guy had a difference.

"Or..is this some magic thing..i really hope you're not a monster trying to kill me or something." she spoke as she tilted her head again. "That'd really would suck." she snickered as she continued to scratch the back of her head, she had really hoped it hadn't been the last one "Because..uh.. I'm not exactly edible" she spoke giving a slight smile.

Varien had been thinking about running, but then again if this was a student or teacher.. she seriously offended them. Well, at least that would mean he hadn't been a creature trying to devour her.

Gem was running late to her potions class. And by running late it meant the Ravenclaw had overslept and hastily pulled her hair up and thrown on her school robe. It was not five minutes in running through halls that she realized she was still in her pajamas. The brunette had thrown her arms up and let out an exasperated "Oh!" before running back to the Ravenclaw dorm rooms and quickly changing into the proper uniform.

By the time Gem was headed towards her class, it was almost over. With another exasperated sigh she decided to explore the university's buildings. They weren't exactly like her former school's but the architecture was just as old and interesting as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself.

That was how Gemini Blackwood found herself lost one of the corridors. Puzzled, she wondered how on earth she had got there. The last thing she recalled was testing the stairs to see if they moved and found herself in one of the corridors. 

Blast Peeves, the witch thought to herself, momentarily forgetting that she was no longer a witch-in-training at a magical secondary school up in Scotland. Her mind wandered from the poltergeist when she could hear voices in the vicinity. 

Gem stuck her bewildered head out of a corner and noticed two other students standing there talking. "I take you're both lost as well," she made her way over to them. "I was running late to my potions class and forgot to change out of my pajamas. By the time I was headed back it was too late and I noticed the architecture was similar to my previous school. You know in all my years at this university, I never paid close attention to it but I ended taking a closer look at the stairs to see if they moved and I somehow ended in this corridor. I blamed it on Peeves but the University has no ghosts. I'm Gemini Blackwood," Gem finished her rambling. "But most people call me Gem."

Decon was taken a back for a second. Contact?s he didn't wear contacts. the he remembered that he had changed his eyes to that of a wolf to see better. Seriously he should pay more attention to these kinds of things. He returned his eyes to normal to which she started looking him over. This girl was a little weird. He wasn't user to people combing over his very existence. It started to make him feel uncomfortable and when he gets uncomfortable he starts to scowl. He didn't know where he got these habits from but he had them so he had to deal with them. Last time he tried to change his expression to a smile that would lift someone's mood it turned into a smirk that scared them a little. After telling him that he wasn't the only one lost he began to think that this place was way to big for the students. Seriously, what was this floor even used for.

She began asking if he were some kind of monster. That made a vein in his forehead twitch in slight agitation. In a voice that sounded more indignant than gruff he responded to the curious girls inquiry. "No I am not some kind of monster. So you don't have to worry about me eating you" He raised an eyebrow, what was with this girl seriously she seems a little too curious about things. "I am a metamorphmagus, I have the ability to change parts of my body into animal parts of my choosing. Sometimes people  confuse it with animagus but unlike animagus my skill can't be taught" He gave her a quick little lecture as if he was a TA telling the class what was what. Hmm, now that he had a chance to look her over, she wasn't half bad. He was actually pretty cute if you get past the whole hardheadedness that she seemed to be fond of acting as.

Before she responded to his short lecture on Metamorphmagus another individual entered the corridor and approached them. As she started talking Decon got the impression that this girl didn't exactly have brakes on her voice box. She started rambling on to total strangers about how she was late and how she blamed a ghost that wasn't even there then finally she gave her name. Why does it seem like all the women he has met while going to this school have been weird or borderline insane? IN any case neither seemed like a bad person so there was no reason to not show kindness in return. "It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Decon Brown"

”Oh good.” she laughed innocently. ”I didn’t plan on getting devoured today really, not on my agenda.” she snickered, the girl’s aura seemed to be an over all friendly one, but that had been a rather well fitted mask. She looked to him, and he seemed to be angry. She would mock the look on his face, puffing out her lips to a pout, and squinting her eyes to try to look as angry as he had, however she didn’t know how he got that vein to twitch on his head, she would keep the look until he spoke about what he had been.. so was he a monster. No she doubted it, it had probably been an ability, just as she had the ability to see into the future.. had she well..repressed it after a while.

But she had been trying to bring it back. She listened curiously to his explanation. Oh, that had been actually pretty neat. She looked to him, taking him in again. She bet he didn’t want to be angry, he just liked to seem it. She gave him a full smile, and went to introduce herself, before suddenly another woman seemed to come bounding towards them. Varien paused, as the girl began to speak.

This had been modeled after another school? That had been news to Varien, as the girl continued to speak, Varien couldn't help but to giggle. She liked these two already, she didn't know why.. it just seemed like.. fate made all three of them lost, she believed in fate, and if fate hadn't been acting today, may god strike her dead here. If there had been a god, actually. She blinked a bit confused, she'd ponder on that thought some other time.

"Nice to meet you two, don't worry about Deacon- he won't eat you!" she spoke in a cheerful tone. "I'm Varien, and I actually just bumped into Mr.Smiles a few moments ago." she spoke as she moved to pat Deacon's chest, as said before, Varien didn't really care for personal space. She smiled to the two, looking from one to another.

"Well..if we are all lost.." she began as she moved to walk back and forth between the two, circling both of them, before skipping back to the center. "Let's explore!" she spoke a curious glint shining in her brown eyes, a wide grin on her face. "I have potions class too, and i missed it also."she laughed softly, "So..instead of trying to look for a way back, let's just look around, eventually we will get where we have to go!" the girl spoke in her grin not faltering.

"So, what do you two say?"
