Thread: First Day Jitters
WHO: Tomi and open (Can do multiples)
WHEN: Monday, October 22
WHERE: Classrooms
While the school system was set up a bit differently at St. Margaret's than his old school, Tomi didn't have time to wonder about it as he moved from class to class. It was a whirlwind of faces and introductions. Tomi tried to play like being mute was normal for him but in truth it was still new. Two weeks had passed since he was turned and still he opened his mouth to speak or to answer a teacher's question to the class, and nothing would come out. He wondered how long it would be before he started getting used to it.
In his network post, Tomi had planned on giving people a headsup that he was unable to speak but he hadn't been sure how to phrase it. 'Hi I'm new and can't talk because a vampire ripped out my voice box, haha, what's new?' Luckily or unluckily the teachers who took the time to introduce him to the class would normally clue the class in on the fact he was mute. That or the ugly scar on his throat combined by his silent wave would give it away. Tomi wanted to settle in to the new school as fast as possible. It was more difficult when he couldn't speak and he didn't want that to be the only thing people knew him for.
The other thing constantly on his mind was where would his next meal come from? The hunger since he'd been turned seemed to never be completely sated. He drank animal blood until he felt bloated and still hungered. It was a frustration that didn't help with making friends. Frustration from his hunger and his inability to speak sometimes bubbled over in odd ways. Glaring without realizing it, scowling at people, looking lost and, during lunchtime, embarrassing himself by spilling blood on his pants in his greed to drink the last drops.
Tomi had unintentionally transformed into a swarm of bats to escape the cafeteria, causing a bigger scene than the spill alone would've done. He'd gone back to Pegasus to change clothes and sat red faced through his next couple of classes.
