Daemon laughed bitterly. "You have no idea what I'm capable of. Wait until they find the body and make it real for you. Then come talk to me - if you still dare."

Autumn sighed. "You want to know why Logan and I came here?" she aksed, but didn't wait for a reply before continuing. "He attacked the kids at the orphanage. He hadn't fed for nearly a month and he was going insane. He killed five of the kids while I tried to calm him down and shove a dead rabbit in his mouth. I would have been the next fatality if I wasn't so damn stubborn and if he hadn't realized just who had been screaming at him for a good twenty minutes."

Daemon digested this, then shook his head. "That's different. That was his nature. He couldn't control it. This is my job, and I assure you I'm very much in control of it. For now if you keep your silence about this, I'll let you live. But if someday if becomes more beneficial to me to have you dead then alive - if someone offers a big enough pile of cash, for example - I'd come back and kill you. You should be afraid."

"Fine, then," Autumn said. "I'll just stick to my silly fantasy that maybe, somewhere under that heartless, callous, arrogant exterior, you're a good guy. And I'll believe that even if it is wishful thinking on my part." Just then she sensed Logan coming back from hunting and finding the Common Room empty. He headed up the stairs to the girls dorms, but she wasn't there. "Shit," she muttered, trying to think of a way out of this situation.

Daemon sighed, plopping down on his bed. "You hop aboard the naivety train and do that." Then he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What now?"
[Btw, I had an idea for a background plot in the future RP. It's not so much really even a plot as just character connections. What if Chaosti and Edward's kid also ended up being gay, and was Alice's best friend - and also in love with Liam? And then what if Autumn had a kid like a year and half younger than Liam and Alice, and he was in love with Alice? But of course, Liam and Alice are oblivious. Except Alice would probably figure out the best friend-in-love-with-her-brother thing pretty quickly. But she regards Autumn's boy as sort of a younger sibling. Chaosti and Edward's kid could be about the same age as the twins. The twins have been at ADSGMP for a year, and then the other two kids show up when we start the rp. Yeah, I was bored last night and did brainstorming. It's just a vague idea though. The whole thing can be chucked out, or changes can be made. I don't mind.]

Autumn sighed and started pacing. "It's Logan... He's been following me around like a bodyguard the past few days because I refuse to believe that you're a horrible person," she said. "He compromised enough to say that I couldn't be alone with you, but here we are! So, if he finds me here, he'll probably go ripshit on your ass. No, scratch that, it'll be my ass first." She ran her hands through her hair. "At least you two have one thing in common... You both think I'm an idiot for trusting you." At that point Logan started up the boy's dorm stairs and she could already sense that he was pissed.
((Well, I for one think that sounds pretty good. And for once, the male to female ratio is switched, lol.))

[Oo, and Logan just came from the girls' Air dorms.. Which is where Verginia is deadsies. So he probably would have smelled the blood. Extra drama!]
Daemon groaned in exasperation and said, "Well, then what are you waiting for? Get out of here."
[Lol, woot. So that would leave me playing Alice and Chaosti's-kid, and you with Liam and Autumn's-kid, so that we wouldn't be rping with ourselves. Sound good?]

((Exactly!))
"I can't," Autumn mumbled. "He's at the door." Just then, Logan knocked loudly on the door. "Autumn! I know you're in there! You better open this frickin' door or I'll-" Autumn ran over to the door, opening it with her powers in the process. "Please, for me, don't finish that sentence. And please, don't overreact." "Oh no, why would I possibly overreact?" he said bitterly, crossing his arms. "Not when there's a girl lying dead in a pool of her own blood in this very House. Not when my best friend is caught in the one situation I asked her not to get herself into. And definitely not when that situation involves the one person that I think knows exactly what killed Verginia." Autumn sighed and pulled Logan into the room, shutting the door behind him. "Can I ask one favor from both of you? Don't attack each other," she begged.
((Sounds perfect.))

Daemon schooled his expression to one of calmness, with a hint of confusion, with the ease of putting on a mask just before Autumn opened the door. He allowed the puzzlement to grow as Logan spoke, until he looked utterly perplexed, throwing in shock for good measure. "Verginia? Killed?" He asked disbelievingly. "But- how?"
[*cough* Btw, the real "how" is that Daemon trapped her in a dreaming state, positioned her accordingly, and then put a razor blade in her hand, put his hand around hers, and made a long deep cut down each of her arms. He stayed to make sure she bled out and died, then left.]

Autumn groaned. "God, this is worse than a soap opera," she said. She leaned against the wall and slid down it until she was sitting with her arms wrapped around her knees. Logan looked between Autumn and Daemon and decided that Autumn wasn't hurt before turning to Daemon. "You can't honestly believe that I'm going to buy that bullshit, can you?" he said. "I mean, I guess some people in this world could become close to their long lost cousins in the span of only a few days, but I don't believe you're one of them."

Daemon looked insulted and said, "I'm not saying I was close to her. I barely freaking knew her. But- dead? How can you be so blase about it? Does this happen often at this school or something?!"

"More often than you'd think, but not enough to actually call it often," Autumn said, her gaze still trained on anything except the two males in the room. "I can so blase about it considering what I am and my nature. And don't even bother playing dumb on that one. I'm sure this naive idiot has told you all about me," Logan said with a snarl. "I'm right here!" Autumn said. "And that's the second time someone's called me naive in the last five minutes... What the hell is up with that?"

Daemon shook his head in bewilderment, frowning at the wall. "Well, surely something has to be done. Have you told anyone yet? Who does one tell when they discover something like that? The- the headmistress or something? The healers - I suppose they can't do anything at this point."

Autumn let her head fall against the wall behind her, not caring that it hurt. Logan rolled his eyes. "It would be easier to tell someone if we had a decent story about how it happened," he said. "However, I'm pretty sure that anything that comes out of your mouth will be a lie."

"A story? Well, I don't know what you're used to, but I think what actually happened might work," Daemon said, as though this was the most incredibly obvious thing in the world.

"And another thing, you probably won't tell us what actually happened," Logan said. Autumn groaned. "You know, when I asked you not to attack each other, that included verbal sparring..." she said absently.

Daemon sighed, looking long-suffering. "Do you go around accusing people of murder professionally, or just for shits and giggles? Look, somebody just died here, so how about you cut the crap and tell us what you saw. I mean, she may not have been the greatest person in the world, and you may not have liked her, but Verginia was a person. A human being."

"I already told you," Logan said through clenched teeth. "She was lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. I couldn't exactly stay and look for details." Autumn looked up at him sadly, wanting to comfort him, but not wanting to move.

Daemon frowned, appearing to think about that, when Layali knocked lightly on the door before opening it - she sensed Logan inside, so figured it would be alright. She looked half-asleep still, and was wearing an old-fashioned white nightgown that trailed to her ankles. "Hey," she said with a yawn. "There's a dead body in Verginia's dorm. I thought I should probably tell somebody."

"Yeah, it's just Verginia. We all know," Autumn said, resting her forehead on her knees. Logan sighed and wrapped an arm around Layali's shoulders. "We're trying to figure out what happened right now."
