So Very Ninja (open)

[kytazy]

To the left? Nothing but darkness. To the right? Nothing but darkness. Good, no one was around. Sticking close to the wall Zane inched his way slowly around the corner and across the hall. He was completely and utterly invisible in this empty hall which no one else was occupying... or so he kept telling himself.
Earlier that day-

"What? No I don't get lost, I've been here long enough to know where I'm going.." Zane had just been lounging around the courtyard while chatting it up with some random new kids. They seemed okay, acting perfectly humane with casual conversations about the weather and upcoming projects. Their true feelings, on the other hand, felt mischievous as if they had some other plan in mind. Though he wasn't about to let his guard down around these odd newcomers, the warm sun was starting to make him tired. He'd casually told them to scram and to his surprise they left good-heartily saying something about having a good day.. it was defiantly strange but he gave it no mind. That was a mistake, obviously.

The next thing Zane remembered was waking up and feeling carpet instead of grass when he stood up. 'Well, isn't this one of the oldest tricks in the book.' That's what he gets for failing to pay attention and falling asleep right after telling someone with mischievous feelings to buzz off. They probably had some kind of gravity manipulation power at their disposal and planned this from the very beginning. Whatever, Zane could take a joke, not like this was the first time- the only problem was figuring out where the hell he was.

Keeping his hand against the wall, it would often dip slightly onto another wooden surface then come back to the wall so he had to be in a dormitory. Then, despite his denial that he could be noticed, the distant giggling confirmed his position was dominated by girls.. so.. he was in the girls' dormitory.. but was it the 3rd floor? 4th? or was he in the perfect girls'? God he hoped not, that'd cause a lot more trouble..

Either way.. 'You can't be seen, you don't hear voices, and no one knows you're here.' The thoughts may be futile but it gave him peace of mind. Eventually he'd run into someone willing to talk to the strange boy pretending no one could see him, or he'd find the exit and pretend this incident never happened.. he was hoping for the latter but seeing as he was heading away from the stairs that might take awhile. There was a possibility that a perfect would be called to remove him, but so far his experience with that group was bad. The only one of them he'd probably accept help from would be McCoy.

It was dark, quite dark actually, but she wouldn't know. Sasha sat in the hallway. She didn't want to go inside her room. She was perfectly happy just sitting outside in the hallway. Her awesome hearing could pick up every single word that was said by any girl in this hallway. That annoyed Sasha quite alot. Her violin case had been set on the ground beside her. Inside it was not a violin as most would expect, but instead a nice long sword. Lovely, I know.

Sasha heard footsteps. She I seriously wished she could blend into the wall. If a perfect caught her out here she would get some stupid lecture or something, god how she despised the perfects. None of them were even perfect. Everybody has flaws and every single one of them does too. Most of them are full of themselves thinking they're awesome, and some of them are really mean too.

The footsteps got closer and she also heard the slight dragging sound of a hand against the wall. It was a person trying to find their way. So that meant it wasn't a perfect. That was a relief. Sasha stood up, grabbing her violin case and walked up to the person. She licked their cheek. They didn't tast like a perfect, but they didn't taste like a girl either. "Boys aren't supposed to be walking around near the girls' dorms." She stated with a slight smirk.

Sasha waited to hear the guy's reaction to her licking him. Most people found it insanely wierd, but she got alot of information from licking stuff, such as gender, status, age, color, shape, and she could read by licking the paper. Smelling and touching stuff just wasn't as fun. Plus, people usually tasted good.

[kytazy]

'Can't be seen, nope, not here, nobody knows no one-' The silent rambling going around and around Zane's head, as well as his steady forward motion, was suddenly interrupted by someone.. uh.. licking him? Well okay, that was new. Being around so many people though he was actively filtering out all emotions so as not to be overwhelmed so it didn't bother him at all. Wiping the saliva left behind off with the back of his hand actually didn't solve anything but transferring the wetness from his cheek to his hand. Well, considering it was hers he proceeded to give the slight dampness back and wiped his hand off on her shoulder.

It felt as if she was expecting something of him, something other than an answer but he wasn't sure what. Maybe to lick her back? If that was how she was accustomed to greeting people Zane wasn't really to keen on complying. To him that kind of greeting was a bit strange, as if he was one to talk but... how to handle the situation? Introduce himself first.. no, if she cared for his name she would have introduced herself first. Reprimand her for licking him.. no, that'd be quite rude to her own culture. Converse as if everything were normal.. that seemed safe enough.

"I am aware of that, but it seems while napping a couple punks decided to play a prank on the blind kid and brought me here. I figured I was in the Girls' Dorm but not to sure what part if you wouldn't mind telling me, I should be fine from there." The explanation probably seemed a little far fetched, but whether this girl believed him or not didn't matter. Only that he get out before something bad happened. What could possibly happen was beyond him, but after his little run-in with Seth he was starting to think even the simplest task could turn bad in this school.

[taren9]

Sasha chuckled slightly as he whiped his hand on her shoulder, probably her spit being in it. It didn't bother her though, it had happened many times before. She felt him hesitating, possibly considering something. Was he considering licking her back. The idea of that was preposterous. She didn't want anybody licking her, that would just be gross. She needed to lick them to find out information, but they din't need to lick her for any reason who knows, maybe he was considering something else, possibly what to do next, or how to react, considering how she didn't get much of a reaction out of him.

When he mentioned the punks playing a prank of the blind kid her ears instantly went alert, thinking he was talking about her, but then she realized he was talking about himself. He was blind! Sasha had always asumed she was the only blind one in the school, but apparently not. Maybe her and this guy could be friends! Wait. She was jumping to conclusions. This guy probably wouldn't want to be friends with her just because she was also blind, but she could still help him find his way out of here. She knew these hallways.

He just wanted to know which part they were in? Heh, he was out of luck there. She had never bothered to read the sign yet so she knew not what floor they were on, she never bothered to count the floors she went up, she just knew when to stop. She smirked again. "If you want to know how to get out of here you came to the right place, but if you want somebody to tell you the way then you have the wrong person. I'm blind too so I don't exactly know which floor I live on, but I can lead you out!" She stated.

Sasha had never been the one to take the easy way out. She grabbed the guys hand and started to walk in the dirrection of the stairs, which he had been walking away from. "What do you think of turtles?" She asked him. Those Stupid animals scared the living daylights out of Sasha. It was her worst fear and probably always would be. She didn't know why she didn't like them, but she hated them with all her being.

[kytazy]

The reaction Zane was feeling from the girl definitely wasn't what he'd been expecting at all. No pity like most, just the opposite, she was... happy about it.

Not that he wasn't totally glad that she didn't feel sorry for him, but being happy? That was sort of weird, and on the verge of insulting as if she were saying she was glad he couldn't see and had trouble getting around new places. He was going to put her under his lunatic category until the reason she was so happy was presented t him. So, another kid who was blessed with the gift of blindness, huh. If there weren't so many other people around -his radar wasn't cut off by walls or doors- he might actually have smiled and reveled in his own moment of happiness. At least she couldn't see how unaffected he looked by the news.

He was about to ask why in the world she didn't keep track of where she was when she was blind, but he was suddenly pulled forward before he could utter word. 'Ah well' he thought meekly. Since he'd never really met anyone else who was blind he couldn't really say what the best way to find your way around was; muscle memory or a mental map. Zane simply allowed himself to be dragged along without a care. Although... he did notice they were backtracking so.. he'd been going the wrong way before. Luck might not be his greatest ally but he figured himself lucky enough to have met this girl and be heading the right way.

"Turtles?" What an odd question. Turtles... turtles.. he'd never really given much thought to the reptiles. He'd heard that some could live over 300 years, which was interesting, and that their shells were an amazing defense against predators but did he like them? "Um.. well... I wouldn't want one for a pet, the only animal I really like are cats. They're quite lovable and calm little creatures. Why, do you own a turtle?" The only reason she would have to bring up the topic of turtles is if she had one... right?

[taren9]

Did Sasha own a turtle? No, never ever in her whole lifespan would she ever own a turtle. She shook her head. "I would never in my life own a turtle I had a say in it. Turtles... Freak me out." She said with a slight nod to herself. She stopped for a second and ran her hand along the wall. They were going the right way. She kept walking, trying to think of another question to ask him.

Then Sasha remembered she didn't know his name yet and chuckled slightly to herself, she felt stupid. "So what's your name boy?" She asked him with a slight smirk. This guy could probably try to attack her if he was that kind of person, but he tasted nice enough. He was also a neutral and they were nice from what she had met of them.

She also couldn't help but wonder if he liked violins. It was her passion and she always asked people about it. She just didn't right now. She had to learn this guys name before she started showering him in questions. Turn here. Her brain told her and then she turned a corner. The stairs were getting closer and they hat would be that.

[kytazy]

Well, someone seemed pretty passionate about not wanting a turtle. The last part was a bit confusing though. Slow moving.. plant munching.. shell hiding creatures.. freaked her out..? A big question on his mind was how she'd even know it was a turtle. Reaching out to touch one just makes them retreat inside their shell which feels just like a rock.

Thinking about it, perhaps one of her powers gave her an ability to tell things apart by touch, smell, or hearing. Or taste, which would explain why she licked him. If that was the case then no wonder she didn't need to use any kind of mental map or remember what floor she was on.. but.. did that mean she was licking the walls as they went? That couldn't be very sanitary. While on the topic Zane lifted his free-hand to lick his palm but didn't really think he tasted like anything. Salt maybe, but everyone tasted like that.

Boy? Though it wouldn't do any good Zane narrowed his eyes at the comment. The sentence would have been fine without the word boy in it, just a simple 'so what's your name?' would have sufficed. He wasn't sure what it was that got under his skin about it but it just sounded weird to him to be referred to as boy. Perhaps because of his height no one really considered him as such? Whatever it was he felt a bit embarrassed to think he could get hung up over such a minor thing so he let it go without vocalizing his random issue.

"Zane Kuro." Out of habit he leaned down to kiss her cheek. "Do you often go around licking people you don't know?" Zane figured that if the girl wanted to give him her name she would. It didn't particularly matter to him, but it would help to know what to call her if he heard her voice in the hall or someplace. Not that he'd ever go out searching for her! He just sort of liked talking to someone who he could relate to and vise versa...
