Jade sprang sideways, nearly tripping over Ethan in her haste to flee, scared by the lion's attack. She stood behind her brother and backed up a few steps.

Ethan growled and stood protectively before Jade, flicking his tail side to side, glaring at the golden lion.

Grace finally got tired of Sam and Elemai, so she jumped out into the garden and walked to a rather private corner. She stripped and changed into a fox silently. Once the transformation was complete, she romped around a few bushes and saw a lion. Then, no sooner than she spotted it, it almost tackled a deer. She ran up to the lion and tackled it, only to land on its back. She wasn't heavy enough to even bother with knocking him down. "New person! Obviously, you don't know the rules. No eating other students!"

((People can talk to other shifters when they are in animal form. In other words, humans can't hear them, but other shifters can hear them.))

     "I wasn't going to eat them!" Leo chuckled, having landed flat on his huge paws. He shook the fox off his back and sat down, his tail curled around his paws. His gold eyes were twinkling. "It was only meant as a joke," he added, staring at the black deer. then he turned to the fox, which he really had no idea as to why it was trying to annoying him. "I can tell if it's a shapeshifter, I'm not dumb." he purred, though it came out as more of a growl.

     As Zach had been going towards the school, he had seen the fox tearing off in the direction his brother was. Leo... Zach would've face-palmed if he hadn't been in wolf-form. So he followed the fox, only to find it lecturing his brother. So as quiet as he could be - which was very quiet, mind you - he sat down beside the deer, an amused look in his shining green eyes. "Yes you are." Zach sighed, staring at his brother with annoyed eyes.

Jade lowered her head and snorted. In a quiet voice she said, "Didn't seem like a joke to me." And stretched a forleg forward to itch at her 'elbow' joint, flicking her tail.

Ethan relaxed and layed down, yawning and leaning back against Jade's legs.

((Again, sorry for the failures.))

Grace landed on her feet, almost slipping but not quite. "Well. Attacking a deer as a joke," she put extra emphasis on the word joke, "isn't very funny. It probably scared the crap out of her. How would you like it if you were just a peaceful deer or squirrel and a lion came charging out at you?" She was on her rampage. It was more of a nice rampage, but still a rampage. "See, I don't attack other people because I don't think it's funny. But don't worry, you'll learn." She turned to the wolf, then back at the lion.

     Leo grumbled something before shooting a glare at the fox. He slowly padded towards his brother, and his brother stood up along with him. "Whatever. See you in cl*censored*, Little Fox." Leo gave her another glare before running back in the direction of the Academy, casting one last look over his shoulder at the deer. "Sorry." He sighed.

     Now the only one remaining was Zach, and he stared down at the ground, before turning back to lift his eyes up to the deer, then the fox. "Sorry about my brother. He's kind of..." He closed his eyes, trying to find a good word to describe him. "Weird. Definitely weird. Don't take what he does too hard," Zach shook his dark head, re-opening his green eyes. "I hope we'll see you all in cl*censored*," he added politely, before sprinting off in the direction his brother went.

[When do cl*censored*es start? And how do they get food? o_o Like raw meat or something.] 

((Cl*censored*es start at noon and end at six. It's a weird schedule cause it's a weird school. They eat regular food. Like apples, meatloaf... stuff like that.))

Grace looked at the deer. "Are you okay?" She watched as the wolf disappeared. "Did he hurt you? If he did, I'll.. I'll. He'll pay. Oh, I'm Grace." She smiled at Jade politely.

Jade looked at the fox. "I'm Jade. And that grumpy lion there is Ethan." She said and pointed  to her brother with her nose as he stalked off to find his clothes and shift back into a human. "No, he didn't hurt me, just kind of scared me, thats all. Thanks for what you did back there." She said and folded her legs under herself and layed down, her head now level with Grace's.

     "That was reckless," came the annoyed voice of Zach. The dark-haired boy was pulling his shirt on as he shot a glare towards his brother, who was flipping through channels on the TV in their small dorm. Really, it was the only thing their parents had given them before they were shipped off to the Academy. Personally, neither of the boys really minded, they had never been extremely close to their parents to begin with. The only things they'd ever get from them were Christmas and Birthday cards, but that was it. And even then, it was just a signature.

     "Who cares," Leo rolled his eyes. "If no one can take a joke around here, then this school is going to be sooo boring!" Leo's gold eyes stared up at the ceiling, longingly. "School sucks. I just want out of this prison." Leo mumbled, and his brother nodded in agreement. "Oh well. Two more years - I think. We're what, Juniors?" Zach nodded, grabbing his ipod from the counter. "I'm going to go to the cafe. Gotta eat some real food," he muttered. Leo nodded in agreement, but he stayed on his lazy butt flipping through channels. He opened his mouth to speak, but Zach already new what he was about to say. "Get off your butt and get some food yourself. I'm not your slave." he huffed, before stalking out of the room, ignoring his brother's chuckle.  

Once Jade and Ethan had gotten their food, the searched for an empty table and sat in the middle of it, one on either side. Their trays were very different. Jade was strictly vegitarian and Ethan wouldn't touch anything green for all the money in the world.

     Zach, in his starved state, just heaped random foods onto his plate. Most of them were meat, because his wolf side craved it, but he also had an apple sitting in the corner of his tray. His green eyes searched around the room for an empty place to sit, and since he saw none, he decided to go towards the only people he really knew - to some extent. His shyness cause him to stay alone most of the time, with the exception of his brother.

     He started walking in the direction of the table - the first scent he caught was the fox's - he didn't even know her name. But, they were better than sitting with some random shifter who would probably try to eat him. "Mind if I sit with you all?" He asked, standing behind the fox-girl. 

Jade nodded a hello to the boy, she reconized his scent as the wolf, and took a bite of her salad. Ethan grumbled and stood up with his tray, stalking over to throw his untouched food away and make his way back to the dorms. Jade watched him go and shrugged. "He's anti-social." She stated merely.
