Magic Is Science Perfected. (Open)

Seth smiled to himself as he walked among the massive crowds that filled the malls on a Saturday. Quite a few were students just like himself, and some even from his actual school, but he didn't really feel like talking to any of them. This was mainly due to the fact that he was sipping on maybe his one true vice food wise; a mocha cappuccino. Not many knew this about him, believing that Seth would survive on tack and water and be happy about it, but the awesome mixture of bitterness, and sweetness just made his taste buds dance, and bring happiness along with every sip of the cold beverage.

Since the young man was out of school, he surprisingly wasn't wearing the school outfit anymore. Rather, instead he was wearing a skin tight black synthetic material over his chest. It looked like one of those flimsy polyester materials, but rather it was an intricately woven mesh of carbon nanotubes. A month long process, spent to make one shirt capable of supporting over 90 gigapascals of pressure. It was one of his finest accomplishments, and aided greatly when Seth played around a little too much with his density manipulation. His pants and boots though, were of a much less complex structure, made of simple cloth. Although they were slacks and polished leather boots.

He hummed to himself, walking down the rows of shops, before stopping as he found the book store. It wasn't much to look at, containing a few elaborate alchemy signs covering the windows, and with dragon posts right outside the door. He smiled, slightly amused by the fashion statements that the store used, as they often tried to entice gothic and those who believed in witchcraft or magicks into their stores, believing no other would find interest in their collection of anarchic books.

Seth just smiled as he walked into the store. Truly people could never understand the true value that some books had, and while Alchemy was still considered more magical than scientific, Seth was confident and near certain that there was more to the reports and thoughts of these philosophers than modern science gave them credit for.

A simple Saturday for most of the youth in the free world. A time for gathering and sharing stories of the latest gossip. With every glance you could see two or more teen huddled around each other laughing and sharing the same emotion, happiness. Unaware of the surrounding sadness round them. Such innocents made one individual sad. Lexi had lost the light of a cheerful child. She lost the feeling of happiness for 8 years and also miss placed the hope of ever feeling it again. With eyes that have seen the kiss of death upon another and being forced to move on. The feeling of blood of another bloody warm your cold frozen skin. The feels and images were clear as if they had taken place just a few seconds ago.

Lexi walked through the chattering crowds in silence. Her dark appearance got more then a few glances that she paid not attain to. A simple cotton black tank top that was tight and moved with her body's every motion. Storm cloud yoga pants that aloud her easy movement to preform her skilled gymnastic that helped her in mostly any situation. Having nothing is sometimes better then something which lead her to wear flip flops most of the time. Lexi worked much better with bare feet, the contact of the earth severed her well with her connection with the earth she stood upon. Her raven feather colored hair was pulled into a side ponytail. Her revealed neck showed a camo ribbon that was tide around her neck. The ribbon was one of her fellow team mates that had fallen in their three years together. He was a brave soul who was loyal and kind. It was the last mission when a bullet through the neck stopped his great journey. He spent his last minutes holding Lexi's hand as the blood stained his ribbon that he had received from his little sister before they were torn by the hunger of war. Sharing the space of Lexi's neck was a silver cross that hung with a bright shine from the dime lights of the building. The special accessory was her mothers. A gift before the chaos devoured her childhood in just half an hour.

Lexi slowed her fast pace when she came across the dragon poster that hung on the bookstores windows. Lexi has stopped and was gazing at the strange picture taking in all of it's uniqueness into her mind. Giving a simple shake of the head she entered the store and made her way over to her favorite section, Adventure.

Seth let out a small sigh as he closed the current book he was browsing, it was informative, but hardly contained the information that he wanted. He needed something that dealt more with life, animals, and biology, while still holding that archaic feel to it along with a lesser understanding. It made for more varied theories that he could practice, after all science was proven wrong on what humans were capable of, it'd be prudent to check at least some theories before turning away from it all.

As he walked over towards the science section, out of the magick section, he noticed a girl standing by a grouping of adventure books. He would've passed right by her, but something caught his eye. Blinking a few times, he realized that he recognized the girl as Lexi, a new applicant for his squad. Figuring no time was like the present, he walked up to her.

"Hello, I'm Seth Rosa."
