Humming to himself, Lance walked over to the refreshments to find out his favorite beverage was already gone: the soda. The most sugary drink they had in the Black Snow Village. It was actually pretty expensive. "Why..." Lance whimpered, silently, clenching his right fist. He then closed his eyes and just stood there, struggling for a moment.
"So how many this time? One or two more?"
"Don't joke like that, don't you know the kind of action the Village Councilors would take if they kept "mysteriously disappearing"?"
"One should do it for now. I hear Black Sun's been on the rage lately. I was thinking about stopping by there next..."
Around the corner from the hall Tara was in, three voices consulted with one another, conversing over some unknown topic.
"Huh?" Tara heard voices, so she slowed down a bit. As she got closer the voices got more familiar. Especially one, and in time she recognized it. "Oh!" She rushed down the hall "Excuse me! Can you tell me...uh?" She realized they were all giving her an unpleasant stare. "Um.." She scratched the back of her head, awkwardly "W..what?"
Suddenly, something looking like a squirrel jumped on the table. But it was pretty bigger then an ordinary squirrel. A couple of people screamed once the animal jumped suddenly, and backed away from the table. It walked around, sniffing everything, till it got to the plate with the brownies. It started stuffing them into it's mouth one after another.
Emile dumped a tray of food and slammed the tray onto the animals head, knocking it off the table. "Hey who's hungry?" He asked everyone, pulling out a large combat knife from his belt and hopped onto the table, ready to jump on the pest and kill it.
When Tara spotted them, only the principle and teacher stood before her. They stared at her, motionless, before someone from behind Tara pulled her back and covered her mouth. "I think I'll take this one, since she's already discovered us..."
"B-But, are you sure? Look at her! She's as drunk as a clam!" the principle exclaimed, apparently defending her. Or just defending himself, more likely.
"Nooo..." the person holding Tara captive said. "I'm certain the other Raigon will take pleasure in scolding this one."
"Woah!" Veronica noticed what was going on and rushed over there. "What do you think you are doing!" She screamed at Emile. "I dare you to touch another hair on her..." She growled, threatening him.
Tara started mumbling, struggling and panicking. But it was useless. And she was also pretty weak from the alcohol. After a few moments, she just let her head fall down, as she fainted.
Lance watched all of the commotion, then turned around somewhere along the lines to take a look at Tara. When it turned out that she was gone, though, Lance shifted his body back around to face the table again. He rose an eyebrow, then scanned the entire area, trying to spot where she went. "Hm?" he hummed, stopping. Lance noticed the school doors wide open, and a fallen chair in the snow, near it. "What in the world...?" he wondered, picking up a glass of water he found on the table. After that, Lance snuck through everybody, heading for the school doors.
"Okay. Dare accepted." Hopping off the tabel, he turned around and kicked the table at Veronica. Giving him a perfect distraction to kill the animal. "Whoops! Sorry didn't see you there." He chuckled, picking it up and throwing it over his shoulder. "The boys'll love some fresh meat." Emile laughed, walking off to the Black Sun area.

Kaji jumped down from where she was sitting ontop of the roof, landing a few feet infront of Lance. "Whatcha' doin'?"
"You bastard" Veronica growled. She got out from under the table with some help of the people around. Once she stood up straight, she cracked her knuckles and then simply marched after Emile not caring where he is headed at all. At one point she suddenly stopped, noticing a trash can. "Heh" She smiled a bit, and picked up the lid. She ran over to him and smacked him on the head with it. It wasn't a smack that would make him faint, but it would at least give him a headache. She dropped the lid, and grabbed the poor squirrel "Hmph..." She turned away, and just walked away, cussing him out under her breath.
"Finding a reason to stay here and answer you, why?" Lance asked, smirking as he stood still, waiting. After a few seconds, he just walked right around Kaji, into the school. It was surprisingly dark. Way darker than before, and it was only around 2:45 PM. "..." Lance stuffed his hands in his pockets, stopping halfway down the hallway he was walking down. Up ahead was one large shadow, extending across the hall he was in, and into another one.
