Just in case... He came upon a flower patch and collected a few blossoms. A butterfly landed on his shoulder. "Not now, friend, I'm not in the mood." The butterfly fluttered away as if it understood. Atticus gazed up at the dark sky. "Man, I wish you were here." [Read more] |

He smiled at Jack, unsure what to do. "Uh. Well good day." He walked off, feeling better than he ever had. Someone was willing to understand him for once. Instead of yelling at him for accidentally killing a vine of ripe grapes [Read more] |

He took a deep breath. "I guess I have to tell you the story then. My father is a very successful business man and his business partner and father of my then best friend, Reina, decided that if they wanted to share the wealth of the two businesses, they would force me and Reina to marry. We were still very young at the time, but it was a business deal to them. I don't know why, but I hated the idea and began to hate Reina. She tried all she could to make me feel better, but I never appreciated it. I told her that I would never love her as long as she was alive, so that night, she... ah nevermind." He smiled weakly at Jack. "Thank you, though for letting me talk. My burden does feel lighter. Thank you." [Read more] |

Atticus's breath caught. "Sorry Jack, I have to go, deal with something." He rushed out of the room mumbling nonsense "Reina...victor...sh*t...alcohol." He slammed around a corner and crumpled against the wall, the feeling of grieving bubbling up inside of him. "C'mon Att. Y-you told yourself you'd stop hurting. You told yourself you were over her." He laughed at his own words. He would never be over her, but he needed to stop being weak. "Att... stay..." The memory of her voice fell upon him like a truck. "Please Atticus, this is important, your house needs you..." [Read more] |

He slammed open his dorm door (poor thing). "Alright {Red and Yellows} we have ourselves and alliance. With whom? None other than {Blue and Green}. I mean... well... I think it's an alliance? But, I believe it is the best for us. We are the house that is the most loyal, we stick together. Against this school, this very school that pinned people of the same personalities and likings together to try and make something organized. A school that pins all the blame for problems on one house. A school that uses us. Jackery Soot, the prodigy has agreed to coach our house as well as hers. In case there is any conflict, we will fight with {Blue and Green}. Together, we will be the strongest, we will rule." He grinned. "C'mon, we're going to {Blue and Green}. We will make an agreement and shake on it. The best way to do this is by having all of us together. What do you say?" A murmur started and grew louder as the house started cheering and they travelled over to the {Blue and Green} dorms. [Read more] |

Shoot. Did I slam the door on the {blue and greens}? He rushed back and opened the door. "Sorry for slamming it, baiiiiiiiii." Atticus sat down on the ground after getting far away. Do I really want to declare war on them? Am I being silly or ambitious? He went back to his room and quickly wrote a letter. Hey Jack,
Sorry if my sudden declaration of war or something bothered you. I'm not going to make any excuses for myself but, I feel that {red and yellow} has been taken for granted for quite some time. If we do nothing about it, it will keep being that way. I believe that if we are loyal to each other, we will be united and strong. If you do not mind, if there is a sort of "war" against houses, I'm willing to offer up my services to you and your house. My declaration of war, I hope will be just to size each other's houses up and see how well an ally they would make. Respectfully and (hopefully) understanding, Att He finished the letter and folded it up in a crisp envelope. He slid out of his dorm and quietly went over to the {blue and green} side. He didn't want to find which dorm was Jack's because he didn't want to be caught there, so he just left the envelope with Jack's name on it on the wall. "Find her well..." [Read more] |

Atticus shoved Ayran out of the room and left himself. Damn Att, you really want to get in trouble, do you? Atticus strode into the {blue and green} room. "Hello Jack, hello Kendo. A few things. I no longer have been sorted into a useless house. I only just have a riled up house that I hope won't screw things up this year." He smiled a thin smile. "I hope this won't make for a boring year." He waved his hand as he walked out, colors bursting from his fingertips and dissolving in the air. [Read more] |

Att, if you cut it that close one more time... He crumpled on the wall, controlling his breathing. How are you going to lead a house if you literally are dying? He listened to the murmur of the crowd outside the door and calmly walked out. "Alright guys, go back to your dorm, I have to set... boundaries with Ayran." Atticus pulled Ayran into his dorm and handed him a thick notebook. "All those phrases in there, don't say them in front of me. Just... don't. Please" (@Pa, yes I'll send you a list) [Read more] |

"No kidding. I guess my last year here will be the only one I actually win something other than Academic Achievements. If their spirits are high, I guess soon someone will drench that flame." Something... somewhere in Ayran's speech, Atticus heard "We will be victorious." Don't spiral Atticus. His head became lighter. "One second... I just need to... sit down..." He went into his room quickly and shut the door. Sh*t. My time limit. There aren't any flowers here. He glanced at the colorful fish. Sorry buddy. [Read more] |

Atticus was fidgeting around watching the fish when he came to the realization. Jack was probably breaking down the doors of her group and motivating them to not be d*psh*ts. He slammed open his door into the hallway and started yelling. "Alright {red and yellow}, we are the underappreciated. When we sacrifice things, what do the others we sacrificed for call us? Rash? Selfish? Yeah. All of those things." He took a deep breath. "I'm going to assign myself sort of leader here. I am Atticus Redding, an Eighth year. I probably haven't spoken much the last seven years, but here I am. We sacrifice so many things, we are loyal. Even if we do not believe that these people are good, we stick by them, because we are loyal. We have seen things." He caught his breath. "Sorry for yelling. The other groups probably heard." His voice was calmer now. "I will lead you guys to be the best group there is. My mates in {blue and green}? Yup. Jackery Soot and that Kendo guy I guess. I know Jack has made quite an impression in this school, but this year, we will beat her. I won't bar you from doing pranks or anything, just... don't screw up." He smiled and walked back into his dorm, finishing his little performance with a flourish of light and color with the closing of his door. [Read more] |

He watched the other {Red and Yellows} swarm about as he casually leaned on the wall, saying nothing. His thoughts were a swirl in his head. Why {Red and Yellow}? I won't sacrifice things for people if it meant a worse situation for me. I can understand loyal, but I'm only loyal to one person... or corpse. He turned and went back to his dorm. I din't see anyone I can talk to that was sorted into mine... Jack and Kendo are in {Green and Blue}. They really are meant to be friends. I would give anything to have that sort of relationship again. [Read more] |

He looked down on them, "I only drain them because I don't really want to hurt others. I do hope they have an afterlife though, they deserve it after me... murdering... them." [Read more] |

"You're quite... energettic. But I suppose that can be a good thing." He walked over to a table and inspected the spread. "Not very impressive in my eyes, but to each his own." He picked a flower from a centerpiece vase and drained the bright color from it's soft petals. "I still need to... sort of eat? I don't know what you would call this curse, but I do need to do this." He smiled sadly at the dead flower laying at his feet. "It kills, but it's what I have to do to survive." [Read more] |

"I'm sure there's more to you. Would you like to grab some food or something?" Kendo intimidated Atticus, so Att wanted to be friends. He had already attempted a connection with Jack, so he would let that have some time so they could hopefully be friends (?). [Read more] |

"I think it's wonderful that you coach other people. I have heard that you quite enjoy it. I don't have quite nearly enough the patience for that role, but you have the skill. This food spread is... alright if compared to my life back home... but it's still food. Do you want me to grab you a plate?" [Read more] |

“Well, I’ll take you up on that offer, but don’t get too caught up in training me, you obviously want to fight the princess.” He turned to the tall man. “Kendo… right? I've heard good things about you. Although I've never spoken to you before. Not that I spoke to many people before anyway. This is the first time I'm talking to either of you. Too caught up in... studies." His smile faltered for a moment at the last part. [Read more] |

Atticus stood there, his hands in his pockets awkwardly. He waved his wrist once and watched a few butterflies that had somehow gotten in drain of color and die. "So... we torturing first years right now?" The colors he had stolen a minute before burst in colorful fireworks in front of a large group of students, startling them. "I really only get by with illusions. I can fence decently, but that's it. I can throw a punch, but not enough to knock someone out. I hope... I hope that there will not be a situation where we will have to fight for our lives..." [Read more] |
