('Ppreciate the help, you lot...)

"Never in my entire life, I have seen such behaviour," Ms. Halkan lectured as she "escorted" John to the administrator office. She took her time taking him there, prolonging the verbal torture that John was forced to endure. "Kids these days," she continued. "When will they ever learn to behave? Passing notes, sleeping in classes, turning in late homework, it is no wonder why this country is going downhill, thanks to your miserable brats. No respect whatsoever." Shut up, you miserable cow, John hissed mentally. She was going in such a slow speed that he was forced to take one step for her every five. And she was so absorbed in her lecture on the failings of the youth that John figured that he could just run off and she would never notice.

Larain followed Matt to the teacher's quarters, and was wondering where the closest smoke detector was when he pulled her into a small room with a toilet. She was temted to scowl or scream when she realized how close she was to this boy. But when he pointed out the detector, she just nodded. Without a word she took the offered cigarett, and stuck in in her mouth. Though she didn't smoke or do any drugs, and prefered to keep away from that stuff most of the time.

"Alright, hold still," she said, and stood on the toilet rim, using Matt's shoulder to keep her balance. "Got something to make smoke with? Teachers check my things annually for lighters and matches since the dorm insident a few years ago."

~~~~~~~~

"Maybe we should start up and work our way down? I don't think we can get help from Ms. Cook. I wouldn't trust teachers. I think the Larain being mad incident, and Jared being with Mrs. Allen, and the book are all related somehow. Though how exactly, how am I to know?" Don replied to Kathryn...

"Good point," Kathryn replied. "But why would they go through such lengths to protect a book?" she mused aloud. "It makes absolutely know sense-after all half of the lot are always harping on us to read more." After a moment, she spoke again. "Guess we had better get started then-searching this place could take awhile."

AWESOME set by the AMAZING Lembas!!!

"Yeah, just a sec" Matt chuckled, his hand searching through his pocket, which was quite difficult with Larain supporting with her weight on his shouders.
He offered her his lighter and whispered: "Now quickly exhale a few times.. this shouldn't take too long."

[Frosty- Matt, Larain, Kira and Mary are all in the teacher's section]

(But Mary and Kira are about to escpae into the walls)

Oooookaaaay what did John do?? I must have missed somehting)

Mary flashed Kira a smile and started running down the corridors takeing back routes where they wern't likely to run into anyone. Finally they came to a dead end. "My familly's been at this school for generations." She explianed feeling the panalling carefully. "Ah"
A panel swung open. "There's servants corridors all over the school; far as I know the teachers don't know about half of them." She stepped through then paused. "Errm i havn't got my touch with me...you don't mind the dark do you?" She asked concernedly. She knew her way through but she didn't want Kira suddenly haveing a panic attack.
"Its not far; there's an entrace into these from our floor; just by the bathrooms...will you be ok love?"

Larain took the lighter, with a comment of "I know, I know." Possisioning her feet right, she let go of Matt to light the cigarett, then handed it back to him. Larain put the cigarett to her mouth and filled it with smoke. She toked it, not filling her lungs with the tainted air. She blew the smoke upwards towards the detector a few times. After a moment a shrill alarm went off, and water started falling in the teacher's section.

Larain dropped the cigarett into the toilet, coughing a little a almost gagging from the taste of the smoke.
"Okay, lets go," she said, when she stopped coughing. Don... I'm going to give you a piece of my mind next time I see you, she thought distastefully. You and that stupid book you wanted me to look for...

(The goal now is NOT to arrive at Jacen because I am not offically RPing him. I just need to give him a decent "out of the action" spot now.)

"Yeah. It's all fine," Kira assured the girl while ignoring the sudden pirate remark, "Just not near Mrs. Allen. Luck holds that she probably has a shotgun and is ready to kill me by now."

Kira paused for a moment to recollect her thoughts, "So, are we going in this one or the one by the bathroom?"

"Probebly. We'll come out by the bathroom if we eneter here." She entended her hand, "Don't want you getting lost" she laughed "Then i'd have dose Allen's work for her." She took Kira's hand and closed the panel behind them so that it pitch black. "Now tell me everything."

Matt let the lighter fall back in his pocket and started to fumble with the lock of the door. His clothes were soaking wet within a few moments and he brushed the water droplets from his eyes. "I can't get it open.." he muttered and in frustration he started to kick against the door, swearing some extravagant words.

"Are you serious that you can't get it open?" Larain asked, glaring. Being right under where the water was falling from, she had long been dripping wet.
"Try moving the door to align the lock better," she offered...

Kira climbed in right after the girl and, to settle her agreement, began to tell her everything she knew, "Jacen fainted earlier today, and, during this faint, he apparently had a sort of vision from God about this book. So, after Physics class, I think he headed off to the library. I am not too entirely sure of the timing there, but I know that I ran into him in the library about 10-15 minutes after Physics. Once running into him, he dragged Matt and I into this hunt for the old, red book. I told him to go and ask the librarian, but, after being shut down, we took matters into our own hands and went upstairs to find this book. Well, to skip over the demon-possessed spider, Mrs. Allen came upstairs and tracked Jacen down. She noticed me, but I am not sure about Matt.. or the other girl I cannot remember the name of at this moment. She took both Jacen and I down to talk to us about, what I presume, is the book, but, to be honest, I really don't have any hardcore evidence as to what the teachers have floating in their minds alongside equations and vocabulary words that should be illegal even to pronouce. I only have the educated guess it has something to do with this book, but we need to find it before we know anything for sure."

Mary grinned slightly into the darkness at the mention of spiders; decideing not to point to point our that there were hundreds in the pasages. She turned sharply round the last courner. "You want a hand trying to find out?" She asked

As Ms. Halkan continued to discuss her plans on improving students of this generation, the fire sprinklers went off, much to John's delight. As she began to fuss about the faulty systems, John sprinted towards a section of the wall, that Mary once showed him when he was trying to evade a particular nasty bully in his first year here. "Come on," he hissed, trying to find the special spot to press that would open the panel. His swiftly moving hands quickly found the button and depressed it. "Yes," he congratulated himself silently as the panel opened. He squeezed himself in and closed the panel after him. And there he waited. He soon heard voices coming from the shadows and wondered whether or not he should abandon his relative safe position and risk being caught. Or lost. He vaguely remembered what Mary said about these passages but the voices were drawing closer. It was a choice between an extremely annoyed Ms. Halkan or the unknown people. He hesitated for the briefest of moments then went towards the voices.

"Right" Matt mumbled and he pulled the door towards him with all his weight and then pushed again. With a soft metal click the lock opened, the door swung open while Matt made a freefall and landed on the cold corridor floor.

Since the corridor started to look like a footbath more and more, a large gush of water wet Matt's pants and he was sure that even his boxer was soaked now.

"Take the cigarette.." Matt said, now in a hurry to reach the safe zone again.

At the same time that Matt opened the door, Larain lost her footing on the toilet seat and fell forward. She landed hard on her hands and knees, but somehow refrained from crieing out. She sat there for a moment till the pain subsided.

Larain snatched the Cigarett and stuck it in the toilet and flushed it, disposing of the evidence of smoking. She then stood and walked past Matt on the floor.
"C'mon before we're caught," she hissed through gritted teeth...

"With your knowledge," Kira answered, "That would be very appreciated." She follow behind the girl in the dark and muddy tunnels. Kira only wanted to touch the minimal amount that she had to. It appeared to her that from such a time of being unnoticed also came a time of being uncared for. She only considered herself lucky not be able to see so well in the dark.
