Azoth wandered into the academy and was taken aback by the sheer size of the place, the entrance hall was huge. The high ceiling and wooden floor made the place seem intimadating, but Azoth strolled in regardless. He looked around and caught sight of himself in one of the many mirrors. His hair tumbled over his eyes, and his boxer shorts were on show over the top of his jeans, in short his appearence wasn't exactly tidy. Uncaring he continued down the hall and wondered why the place was so quiet, this was a school wasn't it? So where was the noise and the people?
Turning corner after corner, Azoth was confronted by many mirrors all showing his ghostly reflection. He was barely even visible in some of them, reaching out to brush his hand along the cherry wood of a banister, he wasn't surprised when it slipped through, meeting nothing but air. Sighing he stopped and sat on the bottom step, resting his head in his hands he rubbed his eyes and wished for someone to talk to.
His eyes started to close and he started to slip into sleep, jolting awake he shook his head and wondered how boring this place was going to be. With no one around what was there left for him to do? Go to class? He supposed he could but didn't really feel like it, so instead he stayed sitting on the step and flicked the sketchpad he had with him open to a clean page, glad he had his bag of art stuff with him, he reached into it and pulled out a few charcoal sticks. Thankfully his familiarity with the objects meant he barely had to even concentrate to be able to use them. Looking around Azoth saw a dusty old suit of armour hiding in a corner, weird he thought. But it was a good item to draw. So using his charcoal he started to draw, smudging it onto his face whilst swiping his hair away, he was so engrossed he didn't even realise.

LIFE ACT 1, SCENE 78 ENTRANCE HALL
Ah! What a great day it was! The morning started with a free period for Azmyth; there was not teaching for the Drama Teacher today, and there was no gardening for the Greenhouse Caretaker either. Well, not for a whole hour anyway…Nonetheless! Today was going to be perfectly fine! ‘Cept, not really.
Stage lights up. The lights are dim; very dim, but not dark enough to be a blackout. Azmythera enters. She does not walk on stage, but flies. Her dress is dirty. She carries a golden-white bear.
Azmythera wasn’t herself today. There was no sunshine in her face, just a forced smile, the same one she used when she had an acting career, and a voice that wasn’t made of pen and paper. How she missed talking! But that wasn’t why her optimism was gone. The staff meeting had taken its toll on her mind. She never took five steps without turning. She started carrying pepper spray with her everywhere, regardless of the fact that Azmyth knew she’d never bring herself up to use it, even if it was just pepper spray. What scared her the most was that none of kids around her knew they were in danger. The assembly had not been called for yet. The children still had no curfew. The safe house was yet to be constructed.
She came to a set of stairs that she had seen many times before. They led to the Entrance Hall, of course. Azmythera looked down at her right wrist. There was no watch there. Dammit! She must’ve left it in her office.
Azmythera sighs. No sound comes out. She looks behind her, offstage, but shakes her head and descends down the stairs, still using her wings to fly.
There was no need to go back for just a watch, Azmythera thought. She knew there was a free period for her this morning. What to do though…plan more lessons? No she could do that this afternoon. She might as well get to work in the greenhouse. For once, she wasn’t looking forward to work. What if she went inside the greenhouse to find a dead student in there? What would she do, how would she cope? Azza! You’re being paranoid again! Nothing will happen! Great. Now she was hearing her Ex-Husband’s voice in her head. But the voice was right.
Azmythera continues down the stairs, but she stops a few steps behind a student, who is drawing something while sitting on the bottom step. This student is transparent; his face is covered with charcoal.
Her first thought was “ghost”. Her second thought was “sleep deprivation makes you see things”. Her third thought; “that could be a student”. If it was a student, what was it doing out of class? Azmyth couldn’t help but be a little creeped out. Well, if was a student, it would respond with a note, right?
She takes out a pen and a pad of post-its, and writes…
“Shouldn’t you be in class?”
Azmythera flies over to the boy, hovering on the step directly behind him. She leans over, and drops her note in his transparent lap. She also drops her teddy-bear on him by accident. In this shock, she stops hovering and falls over.
(OOC: She can either fall on (or through) Azoth or behind him. Your call!)

Azoth noticed the mistake in his drawing but continued on anyway, just darkening over it, he knew it wasn't noticeable so it didn't bother him.
Swiping again at his hair he almost didn't notice the note that floated gently down into his lap, glancing down he saw words were scripted onto it, placing his sketchpad and charcoal pieces onto the ground, he reached down to pick up the piece of paper. His fingers moved through it, trying again he managed to actually hold onto it, his fingers feeling the slight resistance of paper, he smiled triumphiantly.
Then all of a sudden he felt something, falling onto him, shock reverbrated through him as the pressure pressed onto him, it was a teddy bear. Confused he turned wondering about who was dropping these objects onto him. Twisting himself, he was just in time to see a woman tumbling forward, he put out his hands to stop her from falling but she fell through them meeting nothing, angry at his inability to help people in such situatons he cursed. She fell ontop of where he was sitting but it was like he wasn't even there.
Azoth shuffled along the step from where the woman fell and stood up. Noticing the note still clenched in his fingers he opened it out and read the words aloud.
“Shouldn’t you be in class?”
Smiling, he decided that this woman must be a teacher, looking at her he noticed the wings on her back and couldn't help but be impressed by them. Knowing he needed to answer her he laid the flirtatious remarks he wanted to say aside, realising it probably wasn't best as she was a teacher. He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Well maybe, although I've got to say I'm glad I didn't attend. I mean it's not everyday pretty ladies such as yourself throw themselves into my lap." As the words left his mouth his smile grew, noting that he hadn't totally bypassed the flirting after all. Standing there he wondered what her reaction would be, he hoped she wouldn't get angry or anything, he knew it was inappropriate to say such things but that just made the appeal even greater.

As Azmythera gets up, the student, named Azoth, goes to her. He looks at the note.
AZOTH:(reading aloud) Shouldn’t you be in class?
He shrugs. Azmythera remains silent. She crosses her arms.
AZOTH: Well maybe, although I've got to say I'm glad I didn't attend. I mean it's not everyday pretty ladies such as yourself throw themselves into my lap.
Pause. Azmythera smiles weakly, and reaches out to tussle his hair, but then withdraws, realizing her hand would go straight through.
She would’ve laughed if she could. What he said was certainly the joke she needed to cheer up this morning…At least, she thought it was a joke. Azmyth slid her hand into her pocket, looking for her pen and pad, but her hand met nothing. She must’ve dropped them when she fell. She looked around on the ground, spotting Ryke, her teddy bear, her pad of sticky notes and her pen. Azmythera picked them up, and began to write.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not enough to get you out of class, darling. Thanks for the cheering up, though! What's your name and dorm? What class should you be having now? Or are you on a free period? I’m sorry I fell on through you; I sort of forgot how to fly for a split second”

Azoth noticed the woman, the teacher, reach out toward him and then pull her hand back. He felt himself chuckle at her obvious reaction, her hand would probably have passed straight through him. She had smiled at his comment so Azoth had relaxed slightly glad she'd took it in good humour, he didn't need to be pissing off teachers already. He just stood and watched as the woman picked up her things, including the teddy bear. He wondered about why she wrote notes, was she on a sponsered silence or something like that? Was she a mute? He continued to watch her as she wrote another note for him. She handed it to him with a smile so he shot one back at her then looked down at the note.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not enough to get you out of class, darling. Thanks for the cheering up, though! What's your name and dorm? What class should you be having now? Or are you on a free period? I’m sorry I fell through you; I sort of forgot how to fly for a split second” he read it aloud and briefly thought about lying, then decided against it.
Running a hand through his dark, messy hair he replied, "It's fine, the falling thing. I'm Azoth Hunt, err diamond dorm. I'm not technically on a free but i've only just arrived annnd... well it's religious studies and I don't really erm.." Azoth found himself stumbling over the excuse that would normally have just flowed out of his mouth. Not used to finding speaking a difficult task he shrugged his shoulders and added, "...I got lost?" with a cheeky smile in her direction
He self consciously tugged his jeans up a little trying to cover his boxers underneath, they immediately slipped back down over his hips revealing slightly more of his underwear. Leaning his back against the wall he looked at the woman and grinned, "this period's almost over anyway and I'm on a free next... I won't tell if you don't." He winked at her and hoped she would let him off with his skiving this once. It wasn't that he'd done it on purpose rather he'd just lost track of the time whilst drawing, even though, technically he'd never planned on going to his first lesson today.
