I remember when I lost my mind.

"You have the best grade in our class..." Brianna replied. He had the best grade, how did he do it? It was better than hers, and that meant something. Either he was really, really smart, or he tried really, really hard. Probably both. She'd noticed he didn't even show up all the time, it was amazing. She was good at it, and she was ahead of most of the other kids, but she still had to show up. She liked going to math class anyway, it was the only thing she really loved besides science, she loved it almost more than science. "...but you never come," she pointed out. Was he in her science class too? Probably.

Eris nodded blankly at her statement, not really understanding what she was talking about he just stood there for a moment sort of wondeing what to do next. The fact that he was even lingering amazed all of the souls. To Eris though, it was a little confusing. "So?" he suddenly said, not arrogantly though- just seeming confused.
Erebus: He's to logical for his own good! Gaia: He's just naturally smart. Leto: That's so stupid!

"How can you have a better grade than me if you don't even show up?!" she asked. He seemed confused, but what didn't he get? Her point was obvious. She went, did all the work on time, tried really hard... She didn't think anyone else deserved as good of a grade as she got. They should take points off for skipping class. It was stupid that he could just waltz in whenever he felt like it. Even if he was a genius--the souls seemed to think so anyway--it wasn't fair. Oh, was she jealous.

Eris blinked at her for a moment, the way she thought just made no sense to him what-so-ever. "What does it matter?" he suddenly said to her. Why would she care about school so much? If you were in a school like this there was a heck of a lot more you could do then just study- that was for sure. "Class doesn't matter that much anyways," he said with small indifferent shrug.

Her jaw dropped slightly. Class doesn't matter. She thought about it, but now she was just as confused as Eris had been. Class... doesn't matter. Where did that come from?! The only people who thought that were people who failed. Of course it mattered, how could he even say that? You had to get good grades to go to college, and you had to go to college to get a job... well, a good job. You had to have a job to succeed at life. People who didn't have jobs lived in their parents basements their whole lives. They eventually just die without accomplishing anything.... Class doesn't... matter. "What kind of logic is that?" she asked in disbelief.

Eris stared at her for a second, he then suddenly snorted and cracked a smile at her- seeming deeply amused at her disbelief. At his smile though, Leto and Erebus both seemed to gasp. Gaia though just laughed lightly herself and Athena practically had a heart attack. He quickly though went back to his regular expression, and the excitement died just as quickly as it had been lit. "It's my logic," he replied and shrugged again. To him, it was just as simple as that.

Brianna stared at him, his smile made her at loss for words. Was that the first time she'd seem him smile? That would definitely be realistic, she didn't smile very much at all, but there was never a reason to do so. Something about his smile just... She blinked, standing there awkwardly like a stupid idiot, just shy of drooling over this beautiful sight. Snapping back into reality as he went back to normal, she muttered, "That's insane."

Eris stared at her for a moment and then shrugged for what seemed like the 5th millonth time. Yawning slightly he suddenly realized that the dolls were oddly quiet. What would make them so quiet? Ah... "Well, it was nice talking to you then," he said suddenly feeling the need to walk away. It was almost like a tiny rope tugged at his wrist, willing him to go somewhere else... somewhere far away from this... this... this danger. That's what it was. Danger. That's what she was he finally decided, she was danger whether she knew it or not.
Erebus: Gah, you frustrate me so much! Can you ever do anything exciting for once in your life?!
Eris paused and blinked, seeming a little confused that Erebus was saying this and not Leto. He didn't question her though, seeing as how Bri was right there and probably heard Erebus. He then glanced at her, seeming a little hesitant on what he was going to say. "Do you like chess?" he asked her with a small inquistive tilt of his head. Sure it was random, but Eris always had a meaning to his madness.

His inquiry was very random, but it was sort of funny. The soul, she didn't know exactly which one it was, had just nagged him about never doing anything exciting and he'd asked her whether or not she liked chess. Either he'd chosen to ignore the comments from the soul entirely and asked her the question out of the blue, or chess was his definition of exciting. Sure, she knew how to play the game, but she'd be lying if she chose the word 'exciting' to best describe it. Brianna decided that was really besides the point.
"Yes." It was that simple, but she couldn't help but frown. She wasn't being shy, oh no, she'd just had some bad chess related experiences that had basically taken all the fun out of playing the game. The only times she really got to play were at chess club in middle school. She enjoyed the actual game, but found the other five or six guys in the club to be quite creep in the way that they seemed to idolize her like she was the only girl they'd ever actually talked to in their little pathetic lives. Some time ago, Bri had decided stereotypes were wrong, but honestly they were nerdy to the extreme. No matter how hard she tried to fight it, she always felt like a little girl every time she went to that club because she was pretty convinced they still had cooties and boy germs, or maybe just nerd germs. As a sixth grader she wasn't sure she could tell the difference. She would have felt sorry for the poor boys if they hadn't these disturbing crushes on her.
After five or so years of course she'd play with Eris, she wasn't traumatized from the extra hour after school every Tuesday, the mention of chess had just sort of brought back that unpleasant memory. If that's what he was getting at. She just hadn't had much practice so she was probably setting herself up for failure, but surprisingly that was alright. This might be her only chance to be around someone who could be close to being intellectually superior to her. If he was, she'd never admit it.

"Right, alright," Eris took a deep breath and looked around for a moment then back at Bri. "Chess is a very strategic game and requires a lot of thinking, so if you beat me at chess that probably means you're smarter then me," he explained this to her plainly. "I'll meet you in the dorms later with a chess set," he then said- finally finding his chance to leave. "Don't be late," with that Eris finally walked away from her with all the souls protesting loudly.
