PM to join Show your true colors! (Savio)

[Xeona]

15th of Fall 513 AV

Another day of plotting, scheming and overall planning. To Xeona, prank ing was more than just a hobby, something you do for fun. It was a lifestyle, a work of art. You could compare it to theatre. Anyone can set one up, it can either be improvised or scripted, and it takes practice to create a masterpiece.

Xeona was finished with his latest scheme, which involved someone acting dead, and if someone "disturbed" the body, Xeona would act all enraged, when he realized that two things were missing. The "dead body", and the victim.

The victim would be easy to find, but it would be slightly harder with the dead body. He couldn't use a real one, where would he find that? No, he needed someone to act dead, and Xeona thought he knew just the place.

Xeona went as fast as he could towards the Iron Fist School, where his friend/training partner Savio resides. As he arrived, he materialized and searched the place for him. He had to be around here somewhere...

Savio sighed as he stepped into his room. He had taken three batches of deliveries and he was exhausted. He dropped his messenger bag off to the side and belly flopped onto his bed, groaning in bliss as his body slowly started to relax. A nap sounded wonderful… Then he would get some training done… A bath… then more sleep... It sounded like a wonderful plan, until he felt a cold chill run down his spine.

It seemed that he had company of the paranormal kind. Savio sighed and called out,“Xeo! I’m in here!” He didn’t even bother moving from his comfortable position. There was no way he was going to be able to practice possession with the ghost in his current state of tiredness.

Xeona turned around at the sound of Savio shouting to him. He went inside to see Savio in his bedroom, looking kinda exhausted. "Hey Savio, you up for some pranks?" Xeona was hoping for a "yes" from Savio , but in hiss current state, his answer seemed to lean towards a "no".

Well, at least from what Xeona could see. He seemed tired and sore, around the same as after a round of possession training between the two of them. Xeona sincerely hoped that Savio still was up for some pranks.

Savio made a sour face about lying on the damp cobblestones but he complied, sprawling out on the ground on his stomach as though he had fallen from a great height. He hoped Xeona’s prank worked out as the ghost had planned, because if not Savio was going to end up suffering the consequences.

Savio kept as still as possible, and even slowed his breathing so it wouldn’t be visible from afar. After a few chimes he heard footsteps come closer but since his eyes were closed, he couldn’t see what or what approached.

Xeona gave a brief explanation about his upcoming prank, and how he needed Savio to act as a dead body. "So all in all, not very dangerous. You might get some minor scratches, but not enough to become like me." Xeona put a little more meaning into the last words. He enjoyed jokes about him being dead, but it's a whole another thing if you joke about someone who isn't already dead. On later thought, don't bring it up with someone who is, either.

"Are you game, Savio?" Xeona said while having a playful smile on his face. Savio did seem like he was up to it, but you could never be too sure.

He leaned back so that his back rested against the wall. He tried to his his face emotionless but he couldn't hide the small twitch of his lip as he attempted to hide his smile. Of course he was going to join! It might be the most fun he would have this season, the way things were looking. Besides, he was ever ready to cause a little mischief now and then.

Savio shrugged and sighed. "Sure, why the petch not?" The young man then laughed and bounced off of his bed and buckled his belt and attached his dagger to it. His earlier weariness was no longer felt. He could feel his heart start to pick up speed with anticipation.

"So, did you have anywhere in mind? I would suggest anywhere but the North Quarter. As you well know, the folks around here don't take kindly to surprises."

Xeona answered Savio's question with a small chuckle. "I've already figured that part out. Yes, the locals isn't very fond of pranks. Waste of good thinking and planning, if you ask me." Xeona realized he was getting off topic, and continued: "So the point is, I was planning on the Western Quarter. It's the closest of the four quarters to The Gates, and I'm pretty sure a foreigner or two pass by everyday."

"Alright, so that's what I got. Any more questions? If not, then let's head to the Western Quarter!" Xeona wanted nothing else but to rush over to the Western Quarter right now, and he felt like every second spent here could be a missed opportunity. But he had to wait up for Savio, if he wasn't ready to leave for whatever reason.

Savio laughed at the ghost’s enthusiasm as he finished getting ready. “Nope, I don’t have any questions thus far. I mean… How hard can it be to play dead?” With that being said, Savio left his bedroom and started heading towards the exit of the school and out into the Northern Quarter.

The city was foggy and damp, but at least it wasn’t too cold. To be honest it looked rather eerie with half seen people and the heaviness of the moisture in the air. It never really got foggy like this in Syliras, so it left Savio feeling a bit unnerved. Even the normal noise of the city seemed muffled under the haze, like the city was drowsy than its normally bustling self. Waiting…resting.

As they stepped outside, the first thought that ran through Xeona was "So, it's going to be one of those days." Xeona did usually like these foggy days, it usually made his contraptions harder to spot. This time, however, it was different. The fog would make it harder for people to see Savio, decreasing the probability for a successful prank.

Xeona's materialised form almost blended with the fog, which didn't make him hard to spot, but made him look as part of the fog. This could maybe be used for added creepiness. "Alright Savio, here's the spot. Just lay anywhere around here, and pretend to be dead." Xeona said, after the two arrived at the Western Quarter. "I'll be hiding over at the alleyway, see you soon." With those words, Xeona got rid of his materialised form, and went to the alleyway.

The blending was a tad more obvious now, or at least for Xeona. The others couldn't see him, so it didn't really make much of a difference. The watched out over the spot where Savio was lying, and waited for the perfect moment.
