Case 84

[manofgnee]

[Whenever he gets a free moment, away from the classes and the bullies that have already set in after one day, Hanna likes to read. Sitting outside, leaning against the school wall, he's buried in a book that probably weighs more than he does, reading a book on runes, magic, and legends

Hanna.

[manofgnee]

Aaah!!

[Hanna jumps slightly, before relaxing. Oh.]

Oh, hey Kanone.

[cateyedhunter]

[Kanone chuckles.]

Is it me, or is this school pretty laid-back?

[manofgnee]

Heh...yeah, it's okay...pretty quiet when everybody is busy...

[Hanna, paranoid little guy that he seems to be, will probably see Castiel approaching him. He gives an awkward wave before he's in speaking distance, and stops in front of him, hands back in his pockets.

Hopefully his enormous backpack doesn't cause him to turtle-back for once.]

Hey, uh. Whatcha reading?

[manofgnee]

[Hanna smiles weakly at Castiel. Well, at least he's a nice guy...clutching his book tightly, he flips it to show Castiel the cover.]

Hey...reading about magic...'s stupid, though.

[That's a lie, he just doesn't wanna be made fun of.]

[teenagerofgod]

[Magic doesn't sound very Christian, but if nothing else, Cas is big on learning new things. Even if he's pretty sure Hanna might eventually go to Hell or something.]

If it's stupid, then-- well, why are you reading it?

[It's okay, Cas is completely oblivious and totally asking a genuine question.]

[manofgnee]

[Hanna blushes a bit. Oh, he's already going to Hell.]

Well...I dunno...just thought it sort of looked cool, that's all...you know, some fun reading...

[Reid is outside as well trying to make himself as small a target as possible. He catches sight of Hanna though and he knows Hanna is safe. He walks over and smiles tentatively at Hanna.]

H-hi. Re-re-research going g-go=go--well?

[manofgnee]

[Hanna smiles at Reid. Ah, a kindred spirit. He nods, holding the book close.]

Yup...but I can't really know for sure unless I actually practice...

[yesimagenius]

R-ri-ri-ight. You have to pro-ove your theory.

[manofgnee]

I'm just gonna try it all out at home...

[Nobody there to stop him, or get hurt if it goes wrong, or to make fun of him...]

...you wanna see...?

[absinthe_eyed]

[There is someone in one of Justin's favorite gym-skipping reading spots. Hanna--that's his name. Justin shifts his books nervously.]

You should be less conspicuous.

[manofgnee]

[Hanna blinks and twitches a bit. He's not exactly good with people...]

Y...yeah, I guess...I just thought nobody would come back here...

[absinthe_eyed]

[Fortunately for Hanna, neither is Justin. He doesn't twitch, however, so much as stare cluelessly.]

The gym teacher doesn't.

[manofgnee]

...I'm glad I don't have gym until later...

[He shudders a bit. Hanna is terrible at gym, and as a result, the teacher tends to pick on him.]

...are you cutting it right now?
