## Roleplay

Jack was in a, although debatable by who you ask, ignorant mood. He seemed crosser than usual. Maybe it was the change of hair color. It would be an understatement for him to be "pissed off' by the *Week*. Not that he was complaining about the giant amounts of clothing he'd purchased, he was just grumpy about why everything *matched*. He once again stood by the school gates with his brothers, waiting for everyone else so they could leave.

When Anneline still hadn't come around, he decided it was appropriate to text her. *"Hey Annie, where are you?"* He sent the message to her phone, waiting patiently. When Seok tried to peek over his shoulder, he swatted his head away in annoyance.

*"Alright. Hey, can you check if the others are ready?"*

*"Okay. Grace is probably going to bring Caelum, and Hyuk is texting Michiko. See you there."* He contemplated whether or not to leave a smiley face, and then decided not to, sending the message and putting his phone in his back pocket.

"No, you didn't need to bring anything with you. It's alright," he told Michiko. He grinned when he spotted Anneline, "Hey Anne."

He blinked randomly, looking around him. "Where... But they were just... For fuck's sake, what the hell are they planning now?" he huffed. "I give up."

He blinked in disbelief. "Wait wh-" Seung was cut short as a gallows of freezing cold ice water fell upon Michiko and Seung's heads. A colorful array of three-leaf clovers fell upon them too, sticking too their drenched selves like paper to glue.

Jack wacked his brother's arm as he witness Hyuk plunge into another panic attack. "Why are you giving him more horrifying ideas you idiot?"

Jack nodded and forced Seok to nod too, and then gestured for the rest to follow him.

"So, Michiko, what element are you studying?" Jack asked, starting a conversation to displace the tension.

"You're a tri-elemental than? Interesting. Were you by any chance included in the gang attack in Japan? More specifically, in the news, there were twenty teenagers reported dead in Yokohama, Japan. The ones that got away reported that their attacker had "strange powers", they were sent to an asylum afterwards, after others claimed they'd lost their minds after witnessing it. I mean, I'm just guessing I could be wrong."

"Oh..." Jack was speechless, his breath hitched with tension. "I'm sorry... It was just a guess, I didn't think... I'm sorry if I made you relive any disturbing memories."

"Of course..." he mumbled, his timid and introverted side coming out after a long vacation.

Through his peripheral vision, Jack glared at his younger brother, but remained silent.

Jack grabbed Anneline's hand and shot her a *Calm down* look. "I'm sure where ever this video game competition was, she was perfectly safe Annie," he grimaced.

Inside his head, everything was a disaster. One, there weren't supposed to be this many people, and this tension *was not supposed to be here*. It took a large ounce of will not to turn around and slap Seok across the face, but he did not hold back a small twitch of his eye in annoyance.

"I don't know whether I'm supposed to feel reassured or..." He drifted off, stopping himself before he insulted her.

Jack smiled weakly at Anneline, "Make that, *two* crazy families."

"My name is Seung..." He replied with a raised eyebrow. "How do you confuse me with Seok? For crying out loud—" He glared at Anneline,"—I have *blue* hair."

"But I'm not Hyuk, and I'm not Seok's twin," Seung huffed.

Disinterested in continuing the conversation with Michiko he didn't respond, but instead tipped his fedora lower over his now stylishly cut blue bangs.

Jack wasn't particularly startled by the girl who just randomly happened to fall out of the sky right in front of them, just annoyed, like *really* annoyed. "Do you mind? Jumping in front of people isn't very considerate."

He rolled his eyes, "What idiot jumps off a roof anyway? What, are you so special that you can't walk around like everyone else?"
