Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Edit: It's 2 am >3> I'm going to bed right now, so if you decide to interact with my character, I can only respond several hours later. Sorries in advance! Also, boo! ))


Zeek was walking through the courtyard, heading for the main academy building to get on with the day. He gazed up as he passed over the grass, which barely waved as he went past, and wondered if it would rain. Dark clouds were gathering to be sure.

He turned his attention back to the brick wall, now straight ahead of him, and proceeded to walk through it. He came to a hallway where a kid was beating up another kid with their powers. Hmph, 'villains'. A true villain was a mastermind, someone who stood behind these thugs, these lowly brutes, and manipulated all as they saw fit. Did anyone in school even fit that concept?

The spirit continued onward, passing through the wall at the opposite side of the hallway and farther. He passed several classrooms, and a bathroom, until he came to the infirmary. Zeek halted as he stood in the white room, which continued far to the right and left, and was mostly covered in comfy looking hospital beds.

None of the attendants seemed busy, but no doubt they would be once they heard that a student had been beat up.

"Ahem." Zeek cleared his throat to get at least someones attention. A nurse and a doctor looked at each other, thinking it had to be one of them, and Zeek repeated his action until they both ended up looking at him. The infirmary staff first looked past him until they came to the realization there was someone between them and the wall.

"Ah, Zeek, there you are." A male doctor spoke up and smiled, most likely a little out of embarrassment. "Come along. It has arrived and should be appropriate, at least for now." The man explained as he led the ghost to one of the beds. Seemed like a waste of space to put it on one of those but there was probably enough room to spare.

The doctor pulled away the white curtain around the bed and revealed what appeared to be a human body, but colored completely in white and it lacked a head.

It was a mannequin and Zeek truly appreciated that the academy went to the lengths of getting him some sort of physical vessel, even if they were only temporary.
"It's considerably light, yet sturdy. Err, I have to apologize about the fact that it is missing the, uh.. head. We do have that order in place for those full, white wooden ones, but I'm afraid those will take at least a week."
"It's fine, Doctor. Thank you." Zeek let out quietly. A week till he got another body... This one just might last, but it was doubtful. Not to worry, he went longer periods without one.

His pale form appeared to get sucked into the mannequin then and for a while it stayed laying down. Then the fingers moved, as much as they could on the doll, and the arms rose. The mannequin then sat up on the bed and turned to the doctor. It appeared to nod, or bow, the missing head made it hard to decide which. Nevertheless, the possessed doll was pleased and enthusiastically stood up. It wobbled at first and fell back down to sit, but on its next attempt it managed to gain balance, and stood.

The mannequin took a few practice steps around the infirmary before shaking hands with the doctor and walking out. All was well, now to class.. The headless body walked quite happily through the corridors and Zeek slowly got used to the fact that he could not just jump through the wall at the moment. He did his best not to keep walking into doors and other obstacles. It was nice, having a body, even an artificial one.

When he got to the classroom, Zeek noticed the door was ... well, broken. Not much of a surprise but still a disappointment. He carefully passed through the doorway and staggered to the nearest seat, the one closest to the door at the front.

Now if only he had had the time to just go pick up his notebooks and pens he would have been ready for the class. Oh well, maybe he didn't need that this time.
Zeek kept flexing his fingers, closing his hands in fists repeatedly so he could get used to the motion.


(( If you followed the post at least halfway, then to help your imagination, here is a picture of a headless mannequin: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/futnatus/characters/MannequinWhite.jpg These are surprisingly easy to find.))

Will shrugged, grabbing a cookie for himself before answering. "Dunno, she just said it was important. It might have something to do with when we poisoned the school's water supply last week..." He said, reminiscing fondly as he munched on his cookie.

I'm not a simple Jinx, I'm much worse.

Dividing his attention between the teacher and the conversation in progress. Finishing his cookie, he answered Arielle. "Nah, she said EVERYONE. You included, Miss Dodgy Mcdrink n' skip!" He teased, waving a cookie in her face. It seemed no matter how annoyed she was at anyone else, she never blew up at him for some reason. Will counted himself lucky for this, taking every opportunity to test this and tease her.

((What's with Trick..?))

Will simply nodded in agreement, tossing a cookie in the air and closing his eyes, opening his mouth in anticipation, only to never have it meet his lips. Looking around, he found the culprit: A girl sitting next to Amil had snatched it, and was about to begin devouring it. Reaching over and tapping her on the shoulder, he motioned for her to draw closer to him. Once she did, he drew a clammy finger down her back, causing her to shudder and open her mouth in shock. Will grinned: This was EXACTLY what he wanted. Moving his hand up behind her head, he brought their lips together, exhaling a poisonous cloud directly into her lungs, causing her to pass out immediately. Grinning, he grabbed his cookie, looked up, winked at Amil, mouthed for her to keep quiet, and sat back at attention, absently nibbling on the cookie he'd just recovered.

Simply reaching for another cookie the boy continued his games. Only in a villain school would something like this be so normal that one wouldn't even bat an eye at it. "Make sure to clean up the mess this time I don't feel like the corner starting to stink like the last one" he said looking up at will above his portable for a moment before quickly snatching another cookie and eating it. His eyes stopped on Amil for a moment as she seemed to watch the group intently.
