Tida walked into the Vigilante Hideaway. She looked around. There was nobody else here. She was getting to know the school, but she was yet to meet anyone, save her teacher. I wonder if I'll meet anyone here, Tida thought to herself. She hated being the new girl. Nobody knows you, and you are constantly unsure of what to do. Of coarse, Tida hadn't felt like she had known what to do very well ever since Holli's death. It had really shaken her. She opened her book, The Devil's Arithmetic, and started to read.

"So... what're you reading?" Came a rather friendly voice, distinctly male and rather crisp and clear in the air. The tone in the voice said it was a teenager, probably around seventeen or eighteen, though the voice was bubbling with a childlike innocence that really made one want to smile and go, 'aaaaaaaaawe...' but of course such a thing really wouldn't be appropriate. This particular being was known as Neko. Physical age being in his late teens, a rather slender and lithe guy, a cheerful smile on his face as his green eyes glistened in the light that came from the expanse of skies overhead. His hair was oddly mottled with yellowish brown, black and white splotches, feline ears protruding from his head, one black and one the same yellowish brown as his hair. Waving back and forth behind him was his tail, a cute little accent to the relative kitty theme about the person. He was clothed in a pair of faded jeans and a plain white T-shirt, showing he really didn't have the time to waste on finding 'nice' clothes for himself. He wore no shoes, it was nice enough outside to be barefoot. He sat himself down next to Tida (assuming she's sitting down because somehow standing and reading doesn't seem right...) and brought his knees up to his chest in a rather endearing manner, resting his arms on his knees as he watched Tida with utmost curiosity and perhaps a slightly quirky demeanor. He tilted his head to the side. The sun reflected off strands of his hair and his emerald eyes glittered marvelously like faceted gems. He was smiling a truth-filled smile, showing he generally was interested in what Tida was reading, though his smile was marred slightly by his split lip and his feline fangs. This catboy was obviously quite at ease right now, because well... he wasn't really sure. :3

Tida looked at the boy next to her. He looked a little older than her, and a lot more unusual. For instance, her ears were made for humans, not cats. Still, he looked friendly. Tida looked down at her black high-heels before answering his question. "The Devil's Arithmatic by Jane Yolen. Ever heard of it?" she asked. It was probably below her reading level, it seemed to have been written for for sixth and seventh graders, but it was a good book, though scary at times since it was about the Holocaust, so she read it anyway. Tida paused for a moment before adding, "I'm Tida. What's your name?"

"Never heard of the book... aaaaand most people call me Neko." When Neko said 'most people' what he really meant was 'all people' because simplicity was that he had no other name to go by. He was just... Neko. He smiled as his eyes began to skim over the words of the book, his mottled calico tail swaying back and forth and his ears twitched ever so slightly atop his head, a generally harmless kittyboy. And in all honesty- he had no powers, and it was likely that most people at the school could kick his ass. Anyways...
"It's nice to meet you, Tida." He took his eyes off of the page and smiled at her, "You have pretty eyes." his voice didn't indicate he was hitting on her or anything, it was really just some little observation of his. This cat-boy was a rather odd one, managing to say probably anything and completely unable to use a single tone with his words to anger people.

((Neko!!!! Fluffy little kitten-boy with a rapist look-alike.... is it all that bad that i prefer Perth?))
Azu looked out from the shadows to see Neko looking over the shoulder of a new girl, who was reading. They amused her slightly, but she had been sleeping for too long. She made a few lithe moves and quietly left. She hadn't planned on staying anyways.

You have pretty eyes? That was a bizzarre comment. Nobody had ever told her that. Her eyes were plain and brown. I didn't even put on any makeup, why would he say that? Tida thought. It didn't sound like Neko was flirting with her. Perhaps he just used that for when he didn't have anything to say. Sort of like how adults always say 'how much you've grown!' even if you saw them a month or two ago and look almost exactly the same. That must be it, she thought. Tida chose to ignore that comment. "Neko. Nice name," Tida said. I guess it's not unusual to have unusual names here. That's good. I hated it when those kids at school would tease me and Holli for having bizzare names. she thought. She glanced over Neko's sholder just in time to spot Azu walking away. "Who's that?" she asked.

"Hmm?" He looked towards Azuintaeya who was already leaving, "Hey!" He called welcomingly, a smile still on his face. He couldn't even remember if he'd met the person before, though admittedly she looked familiar, but a name and place escaped him at the current moment. His tail swished back and forth placidly, wondering if the strange lady would come over. If she didn't well, then they might have missed out on a friend, but if she did then he'd be happy. He let out a contented sigh, it was a nice day- it wasn't too cold or too hot... it was just pleasant. The only worry itching at his mind was that Suzume had ran off somewhere and he had no clue where the eight year old had meandered to, he was minorly freaking out about it. There was only the slightest edge of his worries in his manner and movement, Neko hoped Tida wouldn't notice, because worry tended to lead to two things- either awkwardness... or a wild quest to go fix whatever the problem was. Considering the fact Neko had epically bad luck... there'd probably be an awkward silence. "My name's just a word, when I couldn't take human form I was taken in by a human family." He shrugged, "Thier daughter named me Neko and the name kinda stuck. It means cat." yep... the cat demon with the name that means 'cat' it was a simple world in the mind of a child, so why complicate things and give a cat a complicated name? Meh.

"Oh. I'm pretty sure Tida means a person who has parents who didn't want to give her a normal name," Tida laughed quietly. She was a bit confused by what he was saying, but didn't ask. That was something she did a lot. She didn't want to trouble anyone or look dumb, so she decided it probably wasn't important and changed the subject. Only she didn't have anything to say. "Nice day today," she said after a moment. Oh, great. The weather. World's lamest filler conversation. Still, it was better than awkward silence. She looked at Neko.

Azu looked back as Neko called out her name. She smiled slightly as she saw the look of half-recognition flash across his face. She walked lightly back to them, her tail raised slightly. "Yish?"

((Noel, please try for longer posts... you're looking a bit shabby on the literacy there...))
Umm... Azu... AZU!" Neko was obviously very happy with himself, having been able to remember the student's name, he smiled broadly, "Azu, this is Tida." he motioned from Azuintaeya to Tida, "And Tida, this is Azu." He nodded, his expression welcoming and warm. "And yeah... it is nice out today..." he looked up towards the sky as large poofy clouds drifted by and his mind started to drift to the raven he used to have with him all the time, he really missed the bird, really... and it was kinda sad. That raven was the last thing he had left from when his mom was around, sure the bird had been gone for a long time, but it didn't mean he didn't think of it quite a bit.
His mind snapped back to now and he was slightly embarrassed for zoning out while with company, his feline ears drooped only slightly for a glancing moment and his tail grew silent as it rested limply. He looked from Tida to Azu to see how they were getting along.

"Um, hi..." said Tida. She smiled awkwardly at Azu and waved shyly. She was begininning to realize that she was the only living thing around that was 100% human. It felt strange. Still, better than nobody, she told herself. What is with me lately? I'm acting like such a little kid! Grow up, Tida! You were sent here because the Sundrys thought you were ready. Don't prove them wrong. she scolded herself. Why did she have to be so hard on herself?

Neko tilted his head to the side slightly, "You seem tense... what's up?" he asked, "My sister got tense whenever she had her period... are you having your period?" he inquired, not realizing it was a completely inappropriate question or anything. He was socially inept and so having a good conversation with anyone was kinda hard for him, but the fact that he honestly had no clue that he was saying anything bad made it a bit more okay. He actually was likely to have no clue what he was even talking about when he said 'period' to him it was that little dot thing at the end of the sentance. Poor naive little Neko kittyboy... :3

Do you have your period? Okay, that had to be the rudest question someone had ever asked her. If the person had been a doctor, she would understand, but as far as she knew, Neko was not a doctor. She thought for a moment on a proper response to this. Finally, she came up with one. "No, I'm just naturally tense. I once knew somebody who would ask questions like that. He was autistic. Do you have autism?" she asked. Tida had nothing against autistic people, but it might give Neko a taste of his own medicine... If he knew what autism was. That could be a problem. Come to think of it, perhaps he should get tested to see if he has asbergers (sp? Spell checker wouldn't give correct spelling), if he hasn't been, Tida thought. She was too polite to say it.

Neko's ears drooped drastically, "No... I'm not stupid" his face went to a shade of pink, his expression showed he was hurt and sorry, as well as embarrassed as well. He didn't know why he was being accused of being 'stupid' as it was explained to him when he had asked someone, "I'm sorry if I said something wrong." His normally fidgety tail fell silent and still on the ground. "I'm sorry if I said something wrong and offended you..." he nodded, restating that he was sorry and only now.... he specified more as to why he was sorry. Neko didn't lie to people, his tone of sincerity showed that well enough. Neko could have continued with his apology easily and explain why he could possibly be able to ask for forgiveness for whatever question he had asked... but he didn't like telling people- because it normally didn't end well- and most things he'd rather just keep to himself.
As his memories began to surface, his manner changed and he seemed a little less inclined to speak, his stance became subtlety more closed off, he thought silently of just offering to leave- but of course if things continued to go as they were... he'd be asked to leave soon enough. Then he wouldn't be rude to anyone by excusing himself. Neko looked at the ground silently, he wasn't stupid or autistic or anything like that, he was just never given the chance to really get comfortable around people, and he never really learned some things that people just figured everyone knew.
Neko could tell he wasn't making a very good first impression, figures the calico cat boy with terrible luck would end up making himself look like he has some kind of mental handicap. His fingers drummed on his pant leg absentmindedly, his tail swayed back and forth again- kitty just couldn't stay still. He still didn't look any better... Neko was teased as a kid, it wasn't cool to label him with disorders like that, he'd heard it all before and he was kinda tired of it.
"Hey stupid! Why don't you go home to that crazy mom of yours?" the voice rang through Neko's mind, there wasn't much of a face to go with it, they all tend to look the same after a while...
"She's not crazy! Shut up!" Neko was barely seven at the time.
"You're still stupid" "No I'm not!" "Why don't you take your stupid self and go home and take care of that crazy whore mom of yours." "Shut up! It's not funny!" "Well I think it's funny." "It's not!"
Neko kept a waning smile on his face, obviously trying to keep anyone from asking about it, though he was likely to just arouse more questions. What could we say? Neko was unlucky like that... he was sensitive, too... thanks, Tida... you make one of the few nice guys on TMA sad... the RPer is to blame you if Neko cries or something.

"I didn't call you stupid. I asked if you were autistic. Big difference," Tida said. She now felt bad. Maybe she shouldn't have said that. I guess he didn't know what autisim was. She tried to think of something to make him feel better. "You know, I was joking, right?" she asked. "There's nothing wrong with autisim. There are plenty of smart people who have it." Tida hoped she didn't cause something bigger in his mind to be triggered. Okay, from now on, don't joke about that kind of thing, she told herself.
