Derek scoffs. "Why would I have seen him?" Orpheus shakes his head. "I can't say I've met him, so no I haven't." Derek looks down at Janelle again and whispers, "You okay?"

Janelle nods slightly and says, "Yeah, yeah, I'm good.." Meanwhile she unsnaps and snaps closed the bracelet over and over, the repetitive action helping her get a little control over her anxiety.

Derek nods. "Just let me know if you want to leave."

Janelle calms down a bit more with one less male in the area and looks up to smile at Derek and says, "I'll be okay. Promise."

Derek smiles. "Good." Orpheus looks uncomfortable. "So, you guys have a really tight group of friends, then?" "I guess you could say that... It's a pretty large circle though."

"People are constantly being assimilated into it. It's like the biggest extended family in the history of ever," Janelle says with a little grin. Her gaze drifting inexorably back to his guitar, she comments, "I love your guitar.. How long have you been playing..?"

"Playing? Well, since I was about 7," Orpheus thinks. Derek looks at Janelle. "Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"

Janelle looks over at Derek and gives him a little 'chill dude' grin, then turns back to Orpheus. "Well, see, to make a long story short I sort of lost a lot of my memories.. Bits and pieces have only recently started falling back into place. I used to know how to play guitar, but now I only know a few chords and one or two simple songs.. My 'foster mum', you could say, has an acoustic that I've been practicing on, but it feels so weird, and so I figured that I must be used to an electric and that's why it wasn't really triggering much memory recall.. Did any of that make sense?"

Orpheus tries to comprhend and eventually nods, getting the gist of it. "I have an electric one back in my dorm if you want to practice on it. If you want, I could probably teach you some stuff too. Just don't ask me to sing." "I suppose this is another thing I shouldn't ask about, huh?" Derek says. "Yeah, that would be helpful."

Orpheus laughs. "No problem. I've got piles of music I don't look at anymore." Derek smiles, looking at Janelle again. "It'll be good for you. Get your mind off stuff. Get you away from annoying dragons."

"Unless, of course, he decides I need an armed guard of 20, including himself," Janelle says with a little roll of her eyes.

Derek smiles. "I'll talk to Logan. He'll talk to Autumn, and she'll convince him not to. Believe me, I've figured out the glitch in the system." "There's a system?" Orpheus asks, confused. "You haven't been here long, mate. Logan's my older brother. He's also Autumn's older 'brother.'" Derek uses air quotes there. "Autumn is my supervisor, like Chaosti is Janelle's. Logan's more lenient and understanding than Autumn. He listens to what I have to say and usually agrees with it. He can convince Autumn to do anything. For Chaosti, Autumn has him wrapped around her finger.... and she didn't really have to try that hard. She'd still do anything for him, though." "Wow... That sounds complicated." "No, not really. I learned all that in spending less than a week with them."

Janelle laughs, resting an arm on Derek's shoulder, and says with a bit of her old sass, "And I've got this one wrapped around my finger. Coz I can, coz I can do it better. And influence over one of the most.. misunderstood.. girls here." [meaning Julianna, lmao]

Derek looks down at Janelle. "No offense, you're too short to rest your arm there. You're gonna get a cramp." "You let her say shit like that about you when you're standing there?" Orpheus says. "I'd rather not lose my girlfriend. Or be attacked by Autumn and Chaosti with everybody standing around laughing. Plus, it's basically true."

Janelle pulls a face at him, but seeing as he had a point and her arm was starting to get sore, she dropped her arm back to her side. She shrugs at Orpheus and says, "Not like I really meant it anyway. Much."

"Don't lie. You know you did," Derek says, teasingly. "Is he always like this?" Orpheus asks Janelle.

Janelle laughs and replies, "Pretty much. You get used to it." She thinks for a moment then says, "I think it would only be fair to give you a few pointers with the people around here.. If you don't get on anyone's bad side you'll assimilate into the group more easily. For example, don't ever try to lie to Autumn. She will know. She will call you out on it. In public, if she's pissed. Don't touch Foxy's hair. If you 'hurt' it, he will flip."

"Don't make vampire cracks or you'll have more than Logan going after you. Don't mention the weather or servantry around Jeremy and Todd respectively. And don't ask about what that means either. I'd rather not get demolished for that mistake..." Derek adds. "Should I be taking notes on this?" Orpheus laughs.
