What are we? (Sky)

[Darcy Leone]

Walking through the hallways to the lunchroom, Mr. Zsasz could feel the stares of other sudents as he walked by. He was 6'2, muscular, and in a suit. Add that to an intimidating glare and you get the wonderful Mr. Zsasz. Victor stood behind a freshman boy who turned to look at him. Victor's overhanging demon eyes stared right down at the boy and he quickly turned away. The boy, with his eyes wide open turned again to talk to the man. Victor rubbed the bridge of his nose.

[red]"What do you want kid?"[/red]

The kid smiled.

[blue]"Are you a teacher? You're huge!"[/blue]

Victor rolled his eyes. Alright now he gets scoped by a kid and braces, next he gets told that he's fat. Great way to start the day. He continued to glare at the kid.

[red]"I'm the principle."[/red]

He kid now had a frightened look as he turned away to get him lunch. They were both at the salad bar with trays and Victor smiled as he picked a fresh apple from the bar.

[red]"I'm pretty scary huh?"[/red]

The kid looked at him, his glasses shook as he nodded in agreement. Victor grinned.

[red]"Yeah I get that a lot."[/red]

The kid walked away leaving Victor to finish that sentence alone. Now with nowhere to sit an a full plate of food, he walked to an empty table, sat and started eating his food.

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler was riding on her skateboard in to the lunchroom. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt that had a butterfly on it she was also caring her backpack with her like always. She stopped and looked around there were some people in the lunchroom but not many which she liked. There was one guy that she noticed he looked a lot older then the rest 'he must be a teacher' she thought. Skyler could feel he was upset from what she did not know. She went over to the counter where they had the food and picked an apple from the bar and a cup of fruit punch. Skyler then went over to an empty table next to the old guys table. She sat down and put her drink and apple on the table then she put her skateboard under the table next to her feet.

[Darcy Leone]

Victor met exchange of eye contact with a pretty young skateboarder girl. He continued to eat his cassarole. The dark circles under his eyes revealing much more to the man then he put forth in reality. He paid little attention to the girl until she sat at a table in front of him sat her skateboard down and persisted to stare at the older man. Call it curiousity. Maybe she wanted to know more about Victor. The truth was, he was the silent type. He let the fork down in the midst of her stares, lifted his head and his bloodshot eyes met hers in a gaze of wonder. What's with this girl?, He thought in silence.

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler could feel his curiosity. She wanted to go over and ask who he was but she didn't have the nerve. All she wanted to do now is go to the park with her two dogs Clover and Ivy. She took a sip of her drink and set it back on the table. Skyler rolled her eyes not because of the old man but because she had nothing better to do but sit here and look at the old man. She got up left her skateboard, her drink, and food at the table. She walked over to the table that the old man was at and sat down on a chair across from him. "who are you?" Skyler asked wondering if he was going to be one of her teachers.

[Darcy Leone]

Victor took a sip of his soda put it down and made eye contact with the girl. Something compelled her to walk over and talk to him. An intimidating looking man. What was the motive?

[red]"I am the principal. Who are you?"[/red]

He asked in the same rude tone that she asked him. Something told Victor Zsasz that this would be an interesting conversation. She was a punkett... He was very conservative. Can you say clash? The issue at hand to him was what made her feel what he felt. She seemed to notice from a distance the deep depression of his emotion. It was impressive.

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler looked at him' great worse then a teacher' she thought to her self. She could still feel his curiosity ' what could he be curios about?' she wondered. " names Skyler McKay and shouldn't you know everyone of your students. Why would you ask that question if you are the principal?" Skyler asked. She wasn't sure if she liked him or if she didn't. She pushed some of her hair behind her ear. She knew she should have put it up but she was to lazy today to do it. She looked around only because she had nothing better to do while she waited for the so called principal to answer her question.

[Darcy Leone]

[red]"There are 687 students that roam the campus everyday and you think I should keep track of their names?"[/red]

He shrugged and grinned.

[red]"Put yourself in my shoes and try that."[/red]

He took another bite of his cassarole and motioned her to have a seat at the chair across from his at the table. He felt curiousity at how she reacted to each of his emotions as if... She could feel empathy. It was obviously a superpower.

[red]"I don't know who you are but I can tell you posess an Empathy attribute."[/red]

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler looked at him when he answered. " I grew up in an orphanage with that many kids in it and I remembered each of their names" She answered his question. Now that she thought about her answer she wished she didn't have answer, it was a a part of her life she didn't want to share. After all this she could still feel curiosity coming from him ' what the heck is wrong with this guy' she thought to her self.

"I can tell you posses an Empathy attribute."

She looked at him and wondered if she made it that easy for him to tell. " Yes I have the power of empathy. I can feel your emotions and everyone Else's in this room" said Skyler. She still didn't know his name after all this time they were talking.

[Darcy Leone]

[red]"Isn't that nice."[/red]

His dark growly voice replied with sarcasm. He finished his food rather quickly, got up and walked over to the trash nearby and dumped the food. He walked back over to the much shorter girl. His bloodshot eyes met hers.

[red]"Orphanage eh? My condolances. My parents died also. They were murdered in cold blood."[/red]

He stated with no emotion as if it was a part of him. Zsasz's entire emotional spectrum consisted of three areas. Anger, depression and control. With control being the main emotion, he could keep the other two in check. He accepted his parents death's without any sympathy at this point. If they hadn't died Victor would have been a normal person instead of a killer.

[red]"Maybe I don't want to keep track of names for that reason."[/red]

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler watched him get up and dump his food. She met his cold bloodshot eyes. Skyler looked down at the table. "My parents died also. They were murdered in cold blood." Those words made her think of her parents and that night when they died. She pushed the thought away this is not a place were she wanted to break down and cry. She felt no emotions coming from him. She got up from her seat looked at him and nodded to show she under stood where he was coming from. "What is your name? I never got it and I would like to know my principals name" Asked Skyler. She looked over to the table where her skateboard still was, wondering if she should get it.

[Darcy Leone]

Victor looked down and smiled a tragic smile as she changed the subject. It was a touchy one afterall. He felt an absense of pleasure and a rising depression in this topic. Maybe with her power of empathy she could dig deeper and realize what he once was. She wasn't very fearful of him though and that brought about the curiousity.

[red]"My name is Mr. Zsasz."[/red]

He made a peaceful gesture with his arms. He saw her eyes roll back to the skateboard which by law wasn't allowed on campus.

[red]"Do what you want as long as you don't kill anyone. You needn't worry about me."[/red]

He spanish accent rang with a dark tone. His voice was naturally low quiet and manly mostly because of his masculine genes. His bloodshot eyes though seeming like they went through a lot were friendly in that moment. He smiled.

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler could feel his depression and curiosity. She looked at him when he said his name. "Do what you want as long as you don't kill anyone. You needn't worry about me." ' What did he mean by that' Skyler thought. Then she remembered that she wasn't allowed to have a skateboard on campus. But then again she probably wasn't allowed to have dogs on campus but yet their hiding in her dorm room. She looked at her skateboard then looked back at Mr.Zsasz. " I wouldn't kill anyone, I'm not that type of person" Skyler was late on the reply. " Oh and thank you" she said with a smile she liked him he hasn't given her a reason not to. " If your the principal here do you have any powers?" asked Skyler not sure if that was to personal for him or not.

[Darcy Leone]

Zsasz smiled. He took off his jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his white collared shirt. Running all down his arms were knife marks. Scars from every life he took. It wasn't something to be proud of. But he wasn't going to get rid of these scars as they reminded him of what he could become.

[red]"These are tally marks. You don't need powers to take a life."[/red]

He made her think about that as he rolled his sleeves back up and put the black jacket back on. Zsasz was mellowed out in comparison to what he once was. Even though he had no military experience, or expertise in any field of ranged combat, he was a skilled fighter, and could get surgical with a knife. He instilled fear into his victems by first interrogating them. He needed to figure out who they were. Were they screamers? Were they brave? All factors to consider in their form of execution. Victor was never proud of what he did and perhaps this young woman could understand that with the depression and melancholy that filled his psyche.

[Skyler McKay]

Skyler looked at his arms. She never seen anyone have scars like that on their arms. "These are tally marks. You don't need powers to take a life." She nodded to show she understood. " if those marks on your arm are from every time you took a life, whats stopping you from taking another?" asked Skyler wanting to know the answer. She couldn't handle anyone killing anyone else after her parents death. She just hoped she wasn't going to cry in front of him.

She looked around wondering if anyone could hear what their saying. No one was near them, but who knows if anyone has empathy like her.

[Darcy Leone]

[red]"I asked myself that a while back. 'What's stopping me.' I took a look in the mirror and woke up."[/red]

He smiled and put his hands in his pockets to resemble a common peace. [red]"I can stop myself. That's the beauty of life. You do have a choice in how you want to turn out."[/red] He knew she probably didn't get that now. Things would most likely happen to her that will be beyond her control in the future and she will doubt herself. Everyone falls once in a while. Then again... Maybe she did understand. Victor couldn't tell though behind that puzzled look of hers. He didn't have empathy.
