[There's a dry smirk on his face.] I think it's probably more impressive that I stayed out of prison this long. A broken clock is right twice a day, as they say.

I have to go to school? Well, that's interesting. It seems kind of pointless, though. I already know everything I need to to survive.

And it looks like you've got quite the performance waiting for me, too. I'll be looking forward to seeing what talents there are on display. As it goes in show business, break a leg, finalists.

[The beautiful new guy with the long dark hair in a ponytail and icy silver eyes can be found lots of places on his first day, and the last day of the Carnival Corpse. He picks up a network device at the gift shop, and goes to check out the courtyard, because he's used to being outdoors. Later, he hits the library to find some classical literature to fall into for a while. And he's going to not look happy about the captive rodents

Later on, he's tired of being around people, so he heads back to his room. Sure, he'll put a friendly mask on, but it's rather difficult and exhausting when he's worried about Shion. And he's not happy about admitting how worried he is to himself. So for now, he lounged on his bed, with a pair of books beside him, and the third in his lap. The covers read "The Aeneid", "The Complete Poetry and Prose of William Blake", and "Les Miserables". Beginning with the tale of a man that had been in prison seemed only appropriate.]

Bzzzz~!!

[ Yeah, that sure is someone imitating the buzzer after a wrong answer on a quiz show. ]

Assuming you're eeever done learning is the first step to your demise, you know?

[A smirk.]

If you think I'm dying anytime soon, you couldn't be more wrong.

What a brave statement to make in the pit of hell.

But death's not the only kind of downfall waiting in the shawdows~

One can only come to the morning through the shadows.

So if the point of school here seems shadowy to you know, it'll be useful.

[ He may teach people how to murder but education is totes. Important. Stay in school, kids. ]

I guess that remains to be seen.

With your attitude your boouund to have problems keeping up....

[ He grins. ]

I'm a tutor here.

[ The best way to get potential tutor-ees to appreciate and trust you, clearly. ]

[A raised eyebrow and then sharp, cutting laughter.]

Is that supposed to scare me?

Did you want to be scared?

You're welcome to class any time.

What are you? A felon? You belong in this hellhole with the rest of us then. Now shut-up.

[ stupid brat. don't make levi laugh. because he can't. seriously ]

I never said I didn't belong here.

Then stop complaining and get used to all the shit here.

[And he just laughs at him.] Who cares?

You know, I've never entirely subscribed to that saying. What if it's a digital clock that displays PM but not AM? It's only right once in that case.

So, you know. Different perspectives. That's why you should go to school.

A good library has never steered me wrong.

I wouldn't dare disagree, but it never hurts to see how other people interpret the same information.

What makes you think the teachers in a prison are interested in "alternative points of view"?

They probably aren't. That in of itself is an alternative point of view, isn't it?

That's a waste of my time.

They're probably going to make you go anyway.

I'll play along for now. For however long I feel like it.

I appreciate the spirit but that isn't really how things work here.

I never have cared too much about how things have always worked.

Neither have I, but there are better things to fight against than going to school.

Everyone has to start somewhere.

You're really not going to listen to me, are you?

You catch on quick.

I suppose if you're going to learn the hard way it may as well be over something small.

[ Fetch hadn't actually been in the library yet, but after her conversation with Shotaro a good book didn't sound half bad. She'd already decided on Jane Eyre as her first choice, but she couldn't really figure out what else to check out.

She noticed that the guy next to her seemed to know just what he was looking for, so she decided a little conversation couldn't hurt. ]

Yo, got any recommendations?

[He gave her a glance up and down, and back up to the book in her hands, and back to her face. His expression was rather cold. But, her taste in reading material was decent.] Depends on what you like about it. Wuthering Heights and Anne of Green Gables take similar settings and themes in opposite directions.

[ So many grumpy guys around here... ]

That sounds kinda cool. Seems like you know a lot about the classics, huh?

It's something that's been forgotten lately. Unless there's money to be made on a movie.

Ugh. I don't think I've ever seen a good big screen adaptation of anything.

[ Not that'd she had seen a whole lot of movies in the last few years... ]

Sneaking in through the back door wouldn't be worth the cost of admission.

Pfft.

[ She held back a laugh. ]

I shoulda pegged you for that type.

What 'type' do you think that is?

The type that likes to sneak around and thinks they can't be caught.

Only 'thinks'?

You're here, ain't you? "Thinks".

Hah! I'm not in here for sneaking into movie theaters.

But it was for sneakin' somewhere, I bet.

Doesn't matter. [Back to the bookshelf.]

Uh oh, did I hit close to home?

[ She leaned closer, her eyebrow quirked. ]

None of your business, nosy wench.

[ That... honestly just made her laugh. ]

Okay, fine, I'll back off. Maybe it was that mouth of yours that got you here instead.
