Anatomy 101

[Matrim Aldon]

Mat nodded as he looked at the pink haired girl. She had heard him. Good. She had also given him her name that was even better. He looked her over, she was dressed like a punk kid would dress and had pink hair. He remembered pink hair from Samara but dismissed it as not being related since this girl most likely had done it to have fun with dye.

He then heard the door open again and another girl, brown hair, blue skirt, white t-shirt and green ballerina slippers on her feet. He shrugged, he had seen odder clothing and turned his attention back to Reira. "My name is Mr. Aldon, if you don't wish to say Aldon all the time then call me Mr. A. I don't care which." He said as he turned to the white board.

He then pushed one slide all the way over to the wall to reveal some writing underneath it. He had done this earlier that day when he couldn't sleep. They were the rules of his classes.

Rule 1 - No horsing around
Rule 2 - No Lab write ups
Rule 3 - No fighting
Rule 4 - I am the Vice Principle
Rule 5 - I am head of all science classes
Rule 6 - Have fun

He then grinned as he turned back. "Alright, these are my rules. Learn them and then obey them, there is no second chances in my room. Your first offense lands you punishment, I have seen many people die from messing around and therefore will stop you from messing around. I am not evil but I will not tolerate death under my watch, are we clear?" he said and moved on without them saying yes or no.

"Rule number two, No lab write ups. Yeah, I hated them in high school and college too so I won't put you guys through that since they do absolutely nothing if you can remember what you did. Besides, you guys have been doing this since what? 6th grade? I think thats long enough personally. But in its place we will have tests on what you learn here, sorry but its just gotta happen but the tests are easy and I will help go over the material for those tests before we take them." He said nodding and moving on once again.

"Rule 3, no fighting, if there is ANY fighting in this room I will cock block that right at the beginning. No stopping it, I didn't get my nickname "Highlander" for nothing, I am a tank and any fights will be dealt like that one guy on Teanamine square." He said and pulled a old table over and broke it with a swift punch, not just the crack and break but punched a hole right through it with such power and force half the table became dust on contact.

"Rules 4 and 5, I am the Vice and the head of the science department, so that means I teach every science class except astronomy/astrophysics. I am also head of discipline in this school other then Kane, you WILL obey the rules I lay down and we will be fine. If not you won't live long." he said throwing a shrug and kicked the table into the corner.

"And last but not least. Rule 6, have fun. I am a pretty lenient teacher, as long as you are doing your work and not messing around I don't care what you do. Let those who want to work work and those who don't don't. Simple as that." He said and slid the board back over so it was blank. "Now are there any questions in the room?" he asked gazing at his four students, he hoped none were late, it wouldn't be pretty if they were.

[Matrim]

Mat stared at the bag.

Definitely a corpse...... just know it..... don't ask...... it's just what it's gotta be....

It was like when his dad showed him the movie called Sweeney Todd. He knew they were going to cook people the second they showed horrible pies. It was just something he could tell.

Matrim was about to speak out saying that technically two of those things were statements and not rules but he opened his mouth, closed it and shook his head deciding it was best not to say anything.

Reira huh.... weird ass name. I'll remember it though. So I guess that's what I'll do. Remember her name.

Matrim tucked the ring under his shirt. He didn't much like having it out for everyone to see. In truth it was a very valuable ring.

"Now are there any questions in the room?"

"Just the one," Matrim said, his feet up on his desk, "That's a dead body..... isn't it?"

[Reira]

"My name is Mr. Aldon, if you don't wish to say Aldon all the time then call me Mr. A. I don't care which."

Aldon? Hmm...Aldon...where have I heard that name before. I know it's in my mind somewhere. Something someone told me.... Meh it's probably not important if I don't remember.

"Sounds good to me," she answered back, not really focused on Mr. A anymore, but on the black mass that layed on the gurney. The shape reminded her of a dead body, which it probably was, but who knows, it could be something weirder. Weird was cool, it made things much more interesting.

Reira then averted her gaze to the white board, where Mr. A had written a few rules previously. Not bad rules at all. She beamed when she didn't have to do a lab write up. Those things always made labs more frustrating.

She listened to him when he started explaining the rules and the consequences if you broke them. The only thing she didn't get was why two rules weren't really rules, but statements about himself.

"So really, there are only four rules. Seeing as how the other two are statements about yourself?" She wasn't trying to be rude or piss him off, she asked this with a speculative tone.


"That's a dead body..... isn't it?"

Reira once again looked at the thing resting on the gurney, then back to Mr. A, almost as if she didn't care about her question anymore, but was more interested in the answer to the boy's, whoms name she still didn't know.

I wonder if we are going to have to take off all our jewelry and accessories and tie our hair back for this lab. I have a lot of jewelry to take off..

[Dani Vega]

Today was going to be fun. It was her first class here. She was raring to go and show what the school what she could do. Hell, maybe she would get detention for this.

Wouldn't that be fun.


Dani had on a black tight shirt, some tight jeans and combat boots. Her hair was tied up in a small ponytail, barely a nub of hair bunched up at the base of her neck. She was sucking on a cherry flavored lollipop to get the taste of gasoline out her mouth.

One slight difference between her and the students at this very moment was that the rest of them were dry. Sticky strands of wet hair clung to the tan of Dani V. as she waltzed into class. She was looking for dentention...she wanted to meet this Solaris character.

And when she had thought this rush out she did not plan for the acrid taste of gasoline in her mouth. Guess she could've kept her mouth shut when she poured it all over her.

Would've been smart huh?


Dani passed through the door and handed the teacher a soggy and smelling piece of paper. The pass was from the office, she had just gotten her classes that morning and didn't think she'd have to come. But this place was stricter then most of the school's she had been too.


Knowing the routine for new students, she introduced herself. " Names Dani V. I'm new to the system here." And she had to ask, for the safety of the other students.

" Are their any fire extinguishers in here?"


Maybe after all this and they let her back in they would let her play with the chemicals.


What would acid do to her body?

It was question she would one day have to find out. But not today...she had plans for today.

[Matrim Aldon]

After he was done he watched the students seeing if they had questions. Then one spoke up the boy Matrim, who had asked if the bag had a stiff in it. He grinned, he knew everyone was thinking it was. "Yes, Mini-me, it is. Its a drifter that we found about 1 week ago who died of an acute aneurysm in the brain. But we won't work with the brain today you will see what I have in store with you guys in a moment." he said still grinning.

He heard another voice which was Reira. Evidently, two rules had been statements. But really rules were statements that he meant to enforce. "Well while that may be true but its a statement that enforces all the OTHER rules in my chemistry classes and the other classes in the school as I will be head of disciplinary actions. Word to the Wise, don't see me unless your in here or another one of my science classes." he said cracking his knuckles again.

Then finally there was a student who had just come in. Today was the first day and he knew students were getting used to the area so he would be leinent today. But ONLY today. "Alright, take a seat and get ready for science class. Also there isn't a fire extinguisher in here since this is Anatomy, not Chemistry." He said and handed her the piece of paper again.

He then looked back to the bag and stood behind it. "Alright, well now that we have no more interruptions hopefully." He said looking around the class with an accusing look. Then went back to a normal gaze. "Well, what we shall do today class is understand what goes on inside the human chest, first the heart..." he said trailing off and unzipped the bag and put a rubber glove on his hand and looked at the class again.

"Now I give you something to vote for, should I go into the chest like a normal autopsy? Or should I just punch through the ribs and rip out the heart?" he asked the class. He really didn't care he would be the interactive teacher that got hopefully on a personal level with his students and help them out when they had a problem.

[Matrim]

Matrim knew it. He just knew it.

"Now I give you something to vote for, should I go into the chest like a normal autopsy? Or should I just punch through the ribs and rip out the heart?"

Matrim thought it over and came to a decesion. Call it bloodlust, call it boredom. Either way for some reason ever since he killed Micha he's always been a little excited by seeing violent acts. He worried for his sanity, but realized he was also just a bored teenager who wanted to see something cool.

"Go for broke." Matrim said shrugging. He liked this class cus he liked the teacher. He seemed cool enough. He couldn't see how he was friends with his dad though. His dad wasn't near as cool as this guy.

[Reira]

Reira nodded to Matrim's explaination to her question simply enough. She really didn't care about that anymore, it was lame question for her to ask, but she just wanted to break the ice a little bit. Nothing wrong with that right. Now all she cared about was, what they were going to observe today.

Another girl arrived late to the class and was immediately spoken to by the teacher. Okay so I can't be late for this class, I'll keep that in the back of my mind.

"Now I give you something to vote for, should I go into the chest like a normal autopsy? Or should I just punch through the ribs and rip out the heart?" Mr. A said to the class.

Punch through the ribs? Is he serious? Wow..he is! This guy must be something. Simon would die to see this!

"Go for broke." Said the boy with the blue hair.

"I agree with him. I want to see you break through the rib cage," she said with a childish grin.

[Dani Vega]

So.


This was BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.


Dani thought that there would be blood and dead things to cut up. Not some retarded family get together and people rehearsing same ," My name is," shit that every teacher asked for.

Good thing Dani came prepared.


Sure she might be punished, beat up or whatever, but hell, she NEEDED a rush.

Right.

Fucking.

Now.


So, Dani lit a match.



And set herself on fire.


The flames licked at her flesh, crisping the skin like it was family steak on the grill. Her fingernails blackend, her clothing charred and she just bloody sat there.

The pain that lanced her through very being was exhilarating. The pure rush of adrenaline wsa exactly what she needed. Even the thick smell of burnt meat sent shivers up her spine.


Her poor teacher.

[Matrim]

Matt looked over and saw a girl light herself on fire before the teacher even had a chance to pull the heart out of the body.

Huh, now there is something you don't see everday........

Matrim looked in his bag, he got a compas, ripping out the metal part which for this one, was about half a foot in length, he activated his Qi, grabbed a marshmellow, walked over, sat on a desk top, and went to work.

Roasting marshmellows.... over an open fire..... The best part of waking up, is corpse fire in your marshmellows...........

too morbid?

[Matrim Aldon]

The teacher looked at the student as she pulled out a match. What was she gonna do? Set the bloody room on fire? He gave a sigh as he walked up to her and she set herself on fire.

Eyes wide. "What in the name of the Creator are you doing, lass?" He said as he went behind his desk and grabbed a few golf ball sized objects. He put water over them and threw them on the ground at her feet. The reaction caused by it would form CO₂ gas and choke out the flames along with herself.

Mini-me while Mat had been getting the CO₂ pellets had been roasting a marshmellow. What the Hell? He thought looking at him as if he was retarded. Might as well be with the amount of common sense he was seeing in him. Was it funny that he was roasting marsh mellows? Yes. Was it smart? Hell to the No.

He then moved back around the table and grabbed the girl by the back of the neck with a firm hand and squeezing. "Listen, you may be new here but do another stunt like that and I will ban you from my class. I mean what are you anyway? A bloody emo kid that is trying to get a little attention with a suicide attempt? What in the name of the Creator are you bloody well on?" he asked in a rather angry tone.

[Reira]

Reira sighed and shook her head unimpressed at the girl who stupidly lit herself on fire. Honestly, what was the point in that. Did it prove anything? Not really. Well nothing other then the fact, that you wanted alot of attention.

I guess thats how people roll around here....I dont understand, but I think I can get around that.

She then watched the boy roast marshmellows over the burning girls' body. Now that was a funny thing to see. Reira was so amused that she dug in her bag for her MAC and began to film everything from the girl on fire, to the boy roasting a marshmellow, to the teacher scolding the girl.

Haha Simon is going to get a good laugh out of this one! He is going to be jelous he doesn't attend this school!

[Dani Vega]

The flames licked her body like some friendly dog. Lapping up her flesh. Her poor teacher was throwing a hissy fit.


And someone was roasting marshmallows over her.

Yummy.


Blackened lips reached over and gulped down the treat. A breathy thanks escaped through charred flesh. It was a nice little pick me up to go along with the adrenaline coursing through her being.

Was she crazy?

Maybe just a bit.

Did she want attention?

Not really.


This wasn't about getting people to look at her. This was like, well, setting her self on fire to rush of A that she craved. It was the only drug she ever needed.

Then the little balls of fun killers split open at her feet. Causing the flames to die. What had once been a pretty attractive girl now sat a corpse of toasted meat.

And the weirdest thing began to happen. It started at her fingertips. The nails, which had been cracked healed themselves.

The skin over her body, split open like a burned hotdog slowly began to form back to once tanned state. The flesh that had been scalded off regrew. Even her hair, which had turned into smoke, grew back to it's burnished red sheen.

Dani was once more the girl she was at the beginning of class.

" And teacher, I'm not some emo fuckhead."

A white grin played along her mouth. Shimmering teeth, just moments before had been charred now smiled back.




" I can't kill myself, this...this was about the adrenaline."


Dani had a curse, a curse and a gift all the same. She couldn't die, not unless her brain was cut in half. And yet, she was given a chemical imbalance. Just like crack babies craved crack..Dani required daily adrenaline rushes to survive.

She didn't do because she was emo, she did because she needed it.

Big fucking difference.


Even now the rush that blew through her veins was beginning to wear off. Soon, in a few hours, she would need to jump off a building, get in a fight or attempt to blow herself up.


Again.



Dani led an interesting life.

[sephora]

Scribbling down the rules, Sephora tapped her toes together. She wondered what they would be doing with the dead body, and was a bit more interested now that she knew it had been a drifter. She didn't approve of tearing apart people you knew. Reaching into her bag, she grabbed some bubblegum and popped a piece. Blowing small bubbles, she popped them inside her mouth so it wouldn't disturb anyone.

Looking out the window, her attention was grabbed by Mr. A asking how to retreive the heart. Autopsy or punch? Easy choice! Matrim, the blue-haired boy, as well as the pink-haired girl, vocalized exactly what Sephora had been thinking. Punch through the ribs!!

Just as class was getting interesting, though, a girl who had walked in smelling like she worked at a gas station became engulfed in fire. Sephora wondered if that was her Qi, lighting herself on fire. Or perhaps it was constantly being covered in gasoline and lighting on fire was a coincidence. Either way, the girl was still sitting up and thought Sephora had initially panicked, she relaxed.

This girl wasn't screaming or rolling around, she had lit herself on fire on purpose. It seemed like a pretty dumb stunt, her father had said students in schools often did dumb stuff for attention. She couldn't think of any other reason to light yourself on fire and disrupt the class, so it must be for attention.

Sighing, Sephora rested her hand on her chin. Great, now this girl was going to get yelled at, piss off Mr. A, and they wouldn't have a fun class anymore. She should have stayed in Armenia with her private tutor, if this is what school was like.

Changing her mind, the girl laughed as Matrim began to roast a marshmallow. That was pretty funny, and the pink-haired girl was taping it on her MAC. Sephora would have to ask her for a copy.

Mr. A didn't seem too amused, the girl noticed, as he put out the fire and grabbed the girl's peeling flesh. He scolded her, but Sephora stopped listening to his words as the girl began to . . . heal? One of her delicate eyebrows rose as the girl's skin grew back and revealed a seemingly unharmed lovely face and physique. Interesting.

[Marquise]

Marquise had been caught by the school and was forced to take a class. He decided to take anatomy since he knew the most about anatomy and could sleep through the class easily.

What he walked in on, was a circus. First, Dani was setting herself, second, some blue haired idiot was making a joke out of a cry for adrenaline, third, the teacher seemed to feel the need to have a corpse, an old corpse, on the desk. Marquise was sick to his stomach.

Filthy rotten corpse, why not use Dani, she'd be a much better example. Devil knows I've had my share of her insides, why not give her body to the sake of science? I could even clean up the bloooooood......[/color]

The color of Marquise's eyes lit up to their red selves, showing his hunger for blood he found a seat behind the blue haired boy more towards the back of class where he could sleep soundly. Unless the class actually got interesting of course. Marquise kept his form, he didn't want everybody in the world knowing his talent. So far Marquise had told Dani and Sephora his true name, and both of them knew his ability. He'd kill them, but Sephora can fend for herself, and Dani won't stay dead.

"S-" Marquise began but decided not to apologize to the teacher, "Screw it," He said under his breath, sitting at the desk his hair was all different colors in different areas, still like an un-gelled mohawk with a ponytail. He was wearing a long sleeve white shirt with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows and a pair of Jeans.

Let's just be over with this already, I have places to hunt, people to bleed.[/color]

[Alex]

Alex walked down the hallway, his bag hanging over his shoulder, he knew he was late, but he had a legitimate reason, he had attended to some business, business that concerned his father. Pulling out his MAC, he entered into the classroom, only to be greeted by the weirdest sight ever. A girl, who moments ago had been on fire, and get this, his friend Matrim had been roasting a marshmallow on the fire, now was extinguished, and looking like a normal girl moments after.

He blinked once at this spectacle before speaking. " Bad time?" he asked, pulling out a envelope with the Hikari Industries emblem on it and walking to the teacher's desk, he handed it to the now current Principal of the school, Matrim Aldon, who was also the teacher for this class. The letter inside the envelope said,

Please excuse Alexander Hikari for being late, he was called to attend to some business concerning Kane Hikari.

Thank you,

Hikari Industries

Alex walked past the scene and the corpse located at the front and took a seat by the window in front of Reira, giving her a mischievous grin before facing the front. He then saw there were rules written on the board, and pulling out his notebook, began writing them down. After he finished copying them, he guessed something was being decided before the...interruption, so he just sat back and waited.
