Castor was... well, bored as usual, so he was sitting at a park bench and people-watching. That, too, was starting to get boring, and he didn't want to let his pyromanic tendencies get the better of him... yet.

Lucia Wright

She was sitting in the middle of the park, a rug underneath her, and was going through a textbook regarding politics. It was a hot day and so she had her hair piled up into a bun and wore nothing but a t-shirt and shorts, her sandals thrown a few metres away. She was waiting for a friend to come but she suspected they'd pull out.

Cas decided to bother the random girl in the middle of the park. Who sits down in the middle of the park? In any case, Cas leisurely strolled towards her before standing behind her and staring at her textbook. "Politics is infuriating," he simply commented.

Lucia Wright

She jumped at the sudden, and unfamiliar, voice and snapped the book shut, whirling around to scowl at the stranger. For a moment, she was silent, studying the boy to see if she recognised him. She didn't. "Politics is interesting," she said, her grip on the book tightening. "Can I help you?"

"Yes, yes you can," replied Castor. "I'd like to know why you're willingly reading that hunk of text." He sat down in front of the girl regardless of how she would respond.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

Her eyes narrowed further as she watched him sit down, her lips trying to tug down into a scowl. "Because, as I said, it's interesting," she said slowly, "and this isn't huge...it's light reading."

Castor eyed the book. "That definitely has over three hundred pages and small text, so I wouldn't call that light. *How* is it interesting?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"Seven hundred and..." she trailed off, flipping to the end of the book, "thirty six pages. Because politics...is interesting? The structure of the government that governs our lives is something that everyone should know. How politics can be boring is beyond me." She bit her cheek to stop herself from ranting. "Who even are you? I have a friend coming and you're not the friend."

"Politics and government is always boring. Know what isn't boring? Anarchy! When people debate communism against capitalism, I just say that it should be every person for themself until everything ends in flames." With his cheerful tone, it was hard to tell if Castor was joking or not. "Ah, what's your friend's name?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

Her eyebrows slowly lowered as she listened to him. *What?*. "Um....Rose," she said, "still haven't answered my question."

"Great! My name is Rose. I'm your best friend." Castor grinned.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"I-No," she said, her eye twitching, "I'm serious. Who are you?"

"Who am I? Who am *I*? Who are *you*?" Castor spun the question back onto her. "Don't you think it's a little rude not to introduce yourself, miss politics-is-interesting?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She rolled her eyes at him. "Lucia," she forced out, "Lucia Wright."

"And I am Lucas Wrong," stated Castor.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She stared at him for a moment, her eye twitching, "okay, no, just no. What's your actual name? I told you mine."

The Arsonist

Posted on 09:14, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Castor mocked being offended. "Miss Lucia Wrong, I feel *insulted* that you'd think I'm joking about such a serious matter! Like I said, I'm Rose, your best friend."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

*What's the quickest way to get a restraining order?* She blinked slowly before she smiled. "Sorry, I didn't realise you dyed your hair." And grew a pair. "Do you want to get started....we can start with Heathen History, if you want?" She asked, converting the politics book for a text book.

The Arsonist

Posted on 09:40, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

"Oh, man, Heathen History?" Castor cringed. "I call that class Nap Time. Are you always this boring, Miss Lucia Wrong?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She forced herself to not react to the name. "Only when I'm expecting to be paid for a tutoring session? Which, as we agreed, Rose, $30 an hour? Which is about....five cents a minute? Which means...you owe me about $2.5 currently." She smiled over at him.

"Pricey," noted Cas. "But!" He shut the politics book in Lucia's hands. "Since we've been talking all this time and not studying, and we've only been discussing study for about a minute, I only owe you five cents." Castor got up. "I've already gotten an A+ in Heathen History--and your book is the IIYM curriculum. Let's do something fun!" He urged Lucia to get up as well.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"I can't just ditch someone-" she broke off as she got a message. *Sorry, I can't come, got caught up, next time x*. Her lips twitched in annoyance. "What's your definition of fun?"

The Arsonist

"That's a secret." Cas winked. "You'll only find out if you join me! So come on. Live a little. I might consider telling you my actual name if you join me."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She looked at him for a moment before shaking her head, "you know, I had a distinct memory of someone telling me 'don't talk to strangers'," she said before sighing, "fine, fine, I'll come."

"That's the spirit!" Castor grinned and started walking towards the outskirts of the park. "And really, I'm pretty harmless to living beings. Haven't hurt a single person. Weeeeeell, except that one time when... that wasn't on purpose, so it doesn't count." Castor narrowed his eyebrows at his own words. Doesn't count? He shook his head and forgot about it.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She opened her mouth then closed it. "Right," she said, grabbing her textbooks to follow him.

"What's your magic focus?" Cas asked while they were walking.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"Combat," she replied, "you?"

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 10:15, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

"Combat, huh?" He grinned. "Same here! Although, I was asking element-wise."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"Oh," she said, "fire. I focus in fire."

The Arsonist

Posted on 10:46, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

"Me too! This'll be perfect for our little activity." Castor paused to think. "Hmm, doing this in a park would cause too much ruckus. Let's go somewhere else."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She raised her eyebrows. "We're not setting something on fire, are we?"

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 10:51, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

"No, no, of *course* not. I'd never dare do something like that. Ever." By this point, they'd left the park. "Okay, your pick. Do we go left or right?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"....left," she said. He'd make a point at her last name if she said 'right'.

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 10:56, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

"Good choice, Lucia Left. Nah, Wrong has a better ring to it." He turned left and started along. "So, what are your hobbies besides torturing yourself with politics for fun?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"I like to read?" She suggested, "I have a soft spot for make up, too."

"Okay, good to know you're not *totally* boring." They entered an alleyway. "Well, since I promised you my name, time for the grand reveal. Are you excited?"

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She stared at him blankly, "is it 'nincompoop?'"

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 12:29, September 21, 2017 (UTC)

He chuckled. "A great guess! But no, it's Castor."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"Castor," she repeated, rolling it around her mouth.

The Arsonist

"Cas, if you will," he added. "Anyway, Miss Lucia Wrong. What do you see here?" There were several dumpsters and trashcans in the area. The alleyway was also deserted.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

*I see your something that represents your soul: the trash?* "Empty alleyway with trash that should have been thrown weeks ago?"

The Arsonist

Posted on 13:20, September 21, 2017 (UTC)

"Basically. Let's be good citizens and clean up the trash!" Castor let out a devilish grin. *"Ignis mortem."* He set part of the trash on fire.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"That's illegal! Do I look like someone who breaks the law!"

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 02:19, September 22, 2017 (UTC)

He smirked. "Of course not. That's exactly the reason I brought you here. Try it!" He lit another bag of trash on fire. "Well, it's your call. You can hurriedly leave this place and be seen as suspicious, and when someone checks this place out, they'll think you set it ablaze... or you can destroy the evidence by destroying the trash."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"People would notice the smoke."

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 02:49, September 22, 2017 (UTC)

"Only if you hang around here for too long, so I suggest you make your decision quick." Another pile of garbage was on fire.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She sighed, muttering a spell and nearly half the trash burst into flames. "You're slow, nincompoop."

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 09:57, September 24, 2017 (UTC)

"Nope. I just like to take my time." He arched an eyebrow at Lucia. "And if we're showing off..." He waved his hand and alighted just as much trash.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She shot him a face and said another spell, lighting the remaining trash.

The Arsonist

He narrowed his eyes, muttering a spell which sped up the burning process.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"I still beat you," she said grinning.

Castor looked at Lucia for a long moment before slowly and dramatically clapping. "I cannot believe I have, for the first time in my entire life, tasted defeat, and that at the hands of none other than the famed Lucia Wrong..."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She blinked slowly at him, a humourless smile on her face. "Better get use to it, doofus, you won't achieve much victories around me. Lucia Wright. With a W."

The Arsonist
Castor Blaise
Posted on 04:09, November 11, 2017 (UTC)

"It is my greatest, most awful regret to have underestimated you, Lucia Wrong. Also with a W." He broke into a grin.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She narrowed her eyes at Castor. "You are so annoying," she forced out before pausing, "wait...why on Earth did you underestimate me?"

The Arsonist

Posted on 04:42, November 11, 2017 (UTC)

Castor shook his head. "Maybe underestimate is the wrong word. I meant I didn't expect an icy, future politician to do something illegal so easily. Tsk, tsk."

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"You'll find half the actions of a politician is illegal," she said before scrunching up her nose at him, "and hush it."

(OOC: maybe end this section here and then do a timeskip where they meet again?)

"But once your crimes get discovered..." Castor smirked. "You're lucky I like you, or else I wouldn't tell you about the footsteps approaching." He quieted down, allowing Lucia to hear the sounds of multiple people walking. "I've got a feeling we'll meet in the near future very soon, Miss Wrong. *Evanescet.*" He disappeared from sight immediately.

me, myself, and I

Yeah sure sure
where should the timeskip be? THey don't go to the same school rip

Sitting alone at Spectrum Café, this was probably Castor's third cup of coffee here. He was bored but he pretended to do homework while in reality he wasn't doing anything at all. Cas took glances at other people in the café, but none of them interested him much.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

She brushed into the place, the one place where she could study and not be bothered. She saw Castor but she didn't react, turning her head slightly to ignore him and moved to an empty table.

Upon noticing Lucia, Cas broke into a mischievous grin. He coughed loudly to get her attention.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

Her skin prickled and she forced herself to look over and narrowed her eyes. "What?" She asked.

The Arsonist

Posted on 04:02, December 16, 2017 (UTC)

"Are you really going to sit alone?" Castor asked.

me, myself, and I

Lucia Wright

"I..." she trailed off, taken aback slightly, "I suppose so? I'm not waiting for anyone."
