welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

It was later in the day when he arrived at the dorms with his bags in hand and nerves in his stomach. This was the first time in a new place, but more than that his first time with a roommate. He had lived on his own before, but with a roommate? Never. He wondered if this was even going to work out or if it was going to turn into a disaster if he and the other didn’t get along. It was certainly nerve wrecking, but he wouldn’t be getting anywhere without actually going in and settling now would he.
Taking a breath to steady himself, the kitsune would move from his spot and head inside the rather green dorm area. He’d move down the hall until he reached the door that was marked with the number assigned to him. Pulling out the key, he’d unlock the door and go looking around at the shared areas before making his way to one of the bed rooms further in. The first he encountered was already taken so he backed out of there and went to the other where he stood in the door way for a bit before sighing inwardly and going in.
He’d look around his new surroundings debating if he liked all this green or not before drifting over to the bed to sit his bags down. Well it looked like he was alone for now, so he guess he better start unpacking before exploring the space some more.

 The Vamp Wolf  | It was this early into the school experience, and he was already tired of people. Things were definitely going well for sure. As well as he would have expected, at least. Shared living space was not something he was a fan of in the first place, so he never really thought he was going to have any fun with this. He had already gotten into a bit of a conflict with some of his 'dormmates' and he had frankly not even been trying. People were way too quick to assume, and he didn't have it in him to bother correcting everyone anymore. It was even less fun than having people dislike him for random petty reasons they decided were true after speaking with him for five minutes. Meh.
Regardless, all the bullshit aside, he still had some things to get squared out and all, so he resigned himself to heading back into his room for the time being, and maybe catch some silence too if he was lucky. Not that he ever was, since it took as long as him slamming the door shut behind himself to know that he wasn't exactly alone anymore. He could smell fox, and he doubted that was just his brain messing with him. Right. He'd run a hand through his head with an internal sigh as he walked himself further in. This was a long day. |

Unpacking or packing was always a pain in the neck, but something that had to be done. With a light sigh he would open up one of his bags looking at the neatly folded clothing there before moving to the chest of drawers in the room. Dragging the bag closer to the object, he'd open a drawer and begin to place the items he had into it. He spent about five minutes alone before the slamming of a door and the scent of another interrupted him. Ah. This must be his roommate. A bit of a nerve wrecking realization, but he had to get used to it. He was going to be living with this person so he might as well swallow his nerves and say hello...except his body wasn't moving as he just took a moment to listen to the area around him for a moment as his mind raced about.
He'd panic for only a few seconds before pausing what he was doing and getting to his feet as he moved from the room and peeked from around the corner into the next room where he saw a rather tall chap walking in. "Hey." He would say in greeting offering a soft smile as he watched the guy come in.

The Vamp Wolf | In all fairness, Sharaku kind of didn't have much of an intention to approach whoever the person was, or at least not purposefully. For if he did, it'd seem like he was interested in chit chat, and while talking did not manage to kill him just yet, the last thing he wanted was to give the first impression that he was very outgoing and social at the blink of an eye. Because he was so not, and he liked it when people were at least aware of that fact, if they couldn't amount to looking deeper in terms of anything else. Being labeled a jerk wasn't pleasant either, but if he had to make a choice, he'd take that over a happy-go-lucky person thinking he could be their new partner to drag around whenever. God forbid he'd probably have the urge to murder them secretly.
He was clearly being saved the trouble of making any decision though, as the person, a guy on second glance, went out of his way to get his attention first. He'd give the guy a mostly neutral look. "Well, you certainly don't look like what you seem to be." Who needs greetings when you can throw out some random blunt commentary, right? |

Perhaps Rika was being friendly or perhaps it was his natural curiosity that got him to come out of his hiding spot so to speak and out into the open. He wasn't the greatest at starting up conversations, but at least he tried to be friendly to a degree. He didn't want anyone to think he could not be approached despite how his behavior usually was. Whatever was the case that got the fox to come out, he would find himself taken a bit off guard by the response he got back. It wasn't a hello or anything like that, but rather a comment about his looks instead. Furrowing his eyebrows a bit in confusion, he would shake his head.
"I am sorry, but what does that mean exactly? What were you expecting to see?" he would ask quiet curious as to where this one was going with that. Was it meant to be an insult or was the guy just throwing a comment out there. It was hard to say, but at least he wasn't jumping to conclusions right off the bat and causing unnecessary problems from the start. That would be a horrible way to begin anything.

“My scent and looks do clash with each other, but I can’t help that. I was pretty much made this way,” he would say with a small shrug not seeming to take much offense at the wording. After all he was strange was he not? It was true he was a kitsune and if he were to shift into his animal like form right now, that form would reflect the creature he smelt like; however, his human form was different. Instead of reflecting the fox it reflected the other part of him. The part he didn’t want to talk about with a stranger. Regardless of the thoughts flowing in him, the creature didn’t back away from the conversation as he instead simply watched the other back with a calm red gaze.

The kistsune would give an audible huff at that one as he placed his hand on his hip and shifted his weight to lean against the frame of the door. "I sometimes feel that way, but I honestly don't want to get into the details of why with someone I just met," he would say as he looked off to the side a bit. What was with this guy? Was he going to pick at everything that was said?... and if so, Rika wondered just how much patience he had for that. He wasn't one to start fights and all, but he wasn't one fond of being picked at either. It made him pretty curious as to where this would all go.

The Vamp Wolf | He'd just give the guy a pointed look. "I never said I really cared. I simply saw it fit to make a comment based on the way you have worded yourself. Can't say I expected you to eagerly explain. In fact, I'd have to wonder about things if you did that." To him, it wasn't necessarily picking at things. For if that was the case, then a response to anything could be considered as picking at something, seeing as it was simply put an act of focusing on something that was said and making a remark about it. Whether it was phrased this or that way, the concept always remained the same in the end. To be honest, he was just mentally shrugging to himself at this. Most of the time, he seriously wasn't sure why people seemed to react like that, when it wasn't like he was doing anything to them, really. Sure, he did lack tact at times, but if that alone got people all huffy, he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do about it. |

Rika would be quiet for a moment as he considered how to approach this. On one hand the words stung a little, but on the other it wasn't like the other was truly attacking him either so there was that. Hmm.
"I never claimed you cared. I was just shutting out future prodding into the matter is all. And well, I'd be questioning myself too if I were to suddenly blab everything about myself to a stranger so easily," he'd say as he flicked his tail a bit as he kept his eyes on the other. It wasn't that he was being huffy about the matter or getting ruffled, but rather he was being straight forward with the responses he gave. He was honest about what he said and in the end wasn't one to sugar coat things either. It was true he could snap and be sensitive about things at times, but right now wasn't one of those times. Though if the other perceived him as huffy or what not then there wasn't much he could do fix that now was it?

The Vamp Wolf | "Ouf?" Well, that was definitely not the kind of response he would have expected. That said, he wasn't sure what he did expect, but he could say this wasn't it. Now he had to wonder just why was this guy so against speaking about his past in any way though. Sure, he himself wouldn't just tell someone everything simply because they asked but he was also the kind of person to shrug at the mention, and since he tended to consider the way things were to be just another fact in the end, he was less resistant to saying it how it was than it might initially appear. It was more a habit of standing up against anything thrown his way than an unwillingness to answer. Obviously enough, most people got deterred easily. Nevertheless, he was capable of respecting people's wishes, so he wasn't going to force one to talk. "I'm getting walled today. That's a new one. I should celebrate.", he'd shake his head humorously for a moment before giving the guy another look-over. "There are more important questions to ask though. How old are you?" |

"Yeah. My past isn't a subject that I am comfortable disclosing with just anyone is all," he would respond back in a soft tone. It wasn't that he wouldn't share with enough prodding, but rather the subject made him feel vulnerable and he wasn't sure if he could even trust this guy enough yet to be like that before him. He was a complete stranger after all, so it was no telling what he might due if he showed weakness. That aside, it seemed the other wasn't going to pry further, something that Rika appreciated even if he didn't say anything out loud. To the comment spoken, the kitsune would give a light snort. "Oh? Do people not block you out?" he would ask as he shifted his weight and came further into the room. As he did, he would hear the second question not seeming to mind being glanced over once more by the other. "I am 24. How about you?"

"I see," was the quiet response from the kitsune as he heard the short reply. Nothing else would come to mind to expand upon or dive deeper into the matter of blocking or not blocking things. It had pretty much ended with the statements and that was that unless the other decided to bring it up again. Something that did not seem likely as a silence fell between them. Moving further into the living space, Rika would take a seat in one of the chairs in the room and for the moment take a breather from all the moving about he had been doing. Red eyes would look around the rather green interior until he was asked a question and in turn asked one back. When he got the other's age, he would nod. "That's not so bad," he would say as he shifted slightly in the seat so that he could fold his feet under him.
