Jaime had the misfortune to happen to be in the Sorting Room when Richard burst in and the scarab shrieked.

"Dude, shut up, he's not -" Then he read the application. "You have got to be kidding me. ...okay, maybe he is."

"I never kid," Richard retorted. "Fire is the most effective way of cleaning there is."

"I'm talking about killing for fun. And... eating babies?" Jaime asked, revolted. "That's sick!"

Ooh, another Cale to torment. "What? It is fun. Honestly, some people just have no idea of a good time."

"And I'm sure that the next time you're in danger, you won't be so quick to judge." He closed the distance between them, looking down at the boy curiously. There was something odd about him... "I knew someone as deluded as you, once. Watching him murder that little boy was entertaining indeed."

Oh crap. Personal space breached. Scarab freaking the hell out. Crazy warlock guy who thought decapitation was fun standing right there. Too many people around. Armor already forming on his hands which he shoved into his pockets. Jaime stepped back hastily. "Back off," he warned Richard. No-kill spell or not, from the way the scarab was going on this could end with half the Sorting Room blowing up.

Between the bloodthirsty passenger in his spine and the homicidal warlock in front of him, Jaime was between a rock and a hard place. On fire. (Since this guy loved it so much.) "I'm not going to kill anyone. And neither are you."

Hmmm. Even more interesting. Richard didn't catch the armored hands, but even he could sense the energy in the air building. Still, he rolled his eyes at Jaime's comment. "Oh, let me guess. You're going to stop me." He stole a quick glance around the room, searching for a target to redirect whatever the kid tried.

"No," Jaime snapped, although it wasn't directed entirely at Richard. "I don't need to stop you." He held his ground in spite of himself, noticing the glance and not quite sure what it meant.

"What, you're going to appeal to my good side?" Richard leaned forward and stage-whispered, "I killed that side off a long time ago, so don't bother."

bantersucks December 10 2007, 18:20:02 UTC

Gah. Jaime leaned back. Undead guy needed a breath mint.

"Anyone mention the no-kill spell? That keeps anyone from killing or being killed on school grounds no matter how powerful they are?" Take that.

forpony December 10 2007, 18:26:44 UTC

"Yes, but nobody mentioned a no-maim spell," Richard pointed out. "And if I can gut someone and they won't die, well, I won't have to worry about a shortage of victims."

He smirked. "And forgive me if I believe you're so completely averse to violence. There's just something about you that screams I need to loosen up and explode a few heads." He grabbed Jaime's arm before the kid could react, and green sickly light appeared around one hand. "Maybe you need a little... prompting?"

"You even try, there'll be a ton of people out to stop you. People who know the magic here back to front better than you ever could. You're not the only one here who's packing a lot of power." As he'd found out during the Halloween debacle.

But then the warlock grabbed him, and out came the potentially murderous spell, and the scarab was shrieking, and the best option available was to get the hell away.

Before the armor could come out all the way, Jaime's armored hand came out and sent a bolt of lightning into Richard's chest.

Richard sat up, dazed but otherwise fine - despite the smoldering patch on his chest. "You're not even going to apologize?" he grumped at the retreating teenager.

He briefly considered retaliating, but then dismissed it - it wasn't like he had a hole clean through his chest this time. Besides, he had a feeling he'd run into that one again sometime.
