HORCRUXES
Roy Mustang, Yuki Ishida, Drey Silva, Marcus Dúbhshláine, Alec Edevane, Dorian Haynsworth

[DORIAN HAYNSWORTH!]

Dorian wasn't sure what he was getting himself into, but he needed to immerse himself more into group activities. Well he needed to become more social with actual people instead of ignoring them. At first he felt like it was a waste of time to even talk to anyone, but he could only handle so much free time to himself before boredom set in. Besides it's more fun for him to insult a person and judge them instead of ignoring their existence. It's just hard when he gets bloodlust and all he wants to do is bite into someone's jugular and just feed. But he prepared himself for the camping trip. Too bad he wouldn't get to see Lillyana. He misses her...

He packed his bag lightly because all a guy really needs is the clothes on his back. But some books, crossword puzzles, and cards could come in handy. Maybe he'll be in a tent where he actually knows the guys and can tolerate them. He left his room and headed out along with the group of students who also signed up for this camping trip. But of course he strayed himself away from the groups because the chatter between girls was getting annoying. Something about beautiful starry nights in a soliloquy which ruined the mood. He hoped none of these girls were looking for romance under the night sky.

Eventually the group made it to Celestial Peak and the camp was already set for them. He overheard the professors talking about rules and such, but he already went to the tent he was assigned to. It's not like he had any other plans besides sleeping, hunting, and becoming 'one' with nature. Except he would like to participate in the scavenger hunt because that's an activity he actually enjoyed in his younger years. Upon entering the tent, he glanced around to see no one had arrived yet. This meant he got to choose his own cot and claimed the one at the right back corner for himself. There he sat down and began unpacking his things, mostly folding his clothes under the cot and other stuff to the side.

Drey lay back on his bed, arms crossed casually beneath his head, moving his foot in rhythm to upbeat music which was playing in the background. Some new hit by theWeird Sisters, he had to admit the tune was rather catchy. Drey had found an easy way of comfort here at Beauxbatons. This room had been fashioned to his own tastes and served as his home here at the palace most nights, though he did spend the occasional night outdoors. All a part of being a werewolf, he liked it better out there. The room was comfortable enough, nestled in among the rest of the rooms, but it only held him over for so long. He enjoyed the company of friends, which he’d not yet managed to gather here. He enjoyed the extra boost of enjoyment people could bring to the atmosphere. Drey much preferred the lively cacophony of people as opposed to the empty shell of his dorm room. He never had been one who’d found solace in isolation.

Are you ready yet, Drey? Dreyhardly paid any notice to the rest of his mates speech as he roused from his bed sliding on a pair of loafers. He really was in norush, but he supposed it was just as good a time as any. He’d been signed up for some camping trip here at the school and he supposed it would set him off to a good start. I’ve been waiting for you, what have you been doing? Tussling your hair, by the looks of it! Drey laughed, half tempted to ruffle it up a bit, but decided against it not wanting to waste more time. As he stepped out the door Drey pulled his pack off the coat rack, wrapping it around his neck, before scruffing up his hair. Drey had been relaxing all the while, dressed long ago, as he had waited for his dormmate – prepping never having been much his style.

You’re telling me to hurry up, when you’re the one slowing us down. He found himself calling over his shoulder, at his dorm mate who had fallen behind once again. Shaking his head Drey settled in with the ground, ruffling his hair with the palm of his hand. He was rather eager for the camping trip, it would give him an opportunity to meet some new people. It’d been sometime since he’d been around this many people, having spent the last few years traveling and studying with his father after the accident. It was a welcome change. The walk was slow and long, particularly in the large crowds, but he felt a smile brimming on his lips when the camp site came into view. He’d eagerly spend all his night out here in the wilderness before he had to spend another night indoors. He’d grown to love the outdoors, even with his so called ‘curse’ as his father liked to call it.

Leaving his friend behind he set out in search of his tent, which he found easily enough. Muttering the name on his lip, he pulled the tent flap aside. There was one other individual in the tent and he was not surprised to find the face unfamiliar. Hey there mates. He offered, stepping into the tent and giving himself a moment to look around. Drey Silva, still settling in really. Just transferred.

Yuki had already packed everything the night before so after he had woken up he had gone directly to the great hall to eat some breakfast before they would be leaving to the camp. Calmly he sipped some coffee while writing a letter to his parents, hoping to be able to send it before he would have to leave to Celestial Peak. He was a worry-wart and because things had been going so well lately (getting back together with Roy, his father getting a lot better after the heart-attack, etc.) he kept feeling like something bad might happen soon. He wasn’t able to relax. Therefore he had started writing a lot more to his parents than what he used to. He kept telling them to be careful and to relax and not worry too much. Funny, because he was the one who actually needed to relax a bit more.

After drinking the last bits of his coffee as well as finish writing the letter he folded it carefully and put it in an envelope. Quickly he went back to his dorm, gave the envelope to his owl and opening the window for him as well. For a moment he watched as the owl flew further away into the distance before he let out a sigh and closed the window and started changing his clothes. Ok, now he should just concentrate on this whole camp thing. He made sure for the tenth time that he had everything with him before he took his backpack with him and left the Rouerie dorm and common room behind him and went outside to seek all the other students and professors.

Luckily they were going as a group to the Celestial Peak, because who knows where he would have ended up if he had had to go there all alone. Of course he could have just asked Roy or one of his friends to go with him then, so that he wouldn’t get lost, but he just felt like he didn’t want to bother anyone. He looked around to see if he could find Roy somewhere, but there were so many students that he couldn’t spot him or any of his friends either. Therefore he just went among all the other students as they left towards Celestial Peak.

Once they arrived over to the camp site he noticed that all the tents were already up and everything had been made ready for them, so they didn’t need to at least worry about putting up a tent or anything. The rules were told which Yuki calmly and patiently listened to and even wrote them up on a piece of parchment, just in case. He wanted to be sure he wouldn’t miss or forget anything. After the speech was over students were allowed to head to their tents and Yuki went over to the sixth tent that said “Horcruxes” while wondering if Roy had already arrived to there. He was actually a bit nervous about the fact that they both had been able to get into the same tent. What luck!

There seemed to be two gentlemen already inside the tent, but he knew neither of them. He had arrived just in time as the second one just introduced himself. With a small smile he also decided to let them know his name, “Yuki Ishida. Nice to meet you both.” He added politely before looking at the free beds and deciding he would pick the one farthest away from the exit o f the tent; he maybe a bit of a coward. The thought of sleeping right next to the exit, laying defenseless in his bed in the dark… that bothered him. “What houses are you two from?” He asked, deciding that a small conversation was never too bad and perhaps things would be less awkward as well between the strangers. Getting to know each other. “I’m in Rouerie.” He placed his things on the bed that he picked and looked around the tent a bit, finding it a lot bigger than what he had expected. It looked so small from outside… Yeah, it was definitely a magical tent.

Roy didn't need to look at the sky for him to know that the sun was slowly but surely coming up. He'd been there all night, lurking around the forest; been there for so long in the darkness that he'd notice the slightest ray of light when it neared him.He had his eyes closed but opened them slowly to raise them to the school, midnight eyes studiously watching it for a moment. "You've been here all night, Mustang. You look half dead, maybe some sleep is in order, you still have time..." Since when did he ever really care about what Roy got up to so long as the end result wasn't fatal. "Too late for that" He blinked sleepily, then shook his head quickly to try and dislodge that feeling. Slowly he stretched his arms and legs in a very relaxed manner, and then turned to look at the bag beside him. Always prepared for any schenario this one was. But what was he doing outside in the forest all night? Not sleeping, no doubt about that, but maybe that was also the problem. He had a hard time sleeping these days, and with the amount of fire damage deep in the forest behind him, it wasn't hard to say what he'd actually been up to all this time.

Quickly, deciding to get his caffeine fix on before he went anywhere, he quickly headed to the dining room to grab something before anyone went anywhere. He even managed to score a piece of toast or two before he had to stand up. "It's time," he muttered, half glancing at a great deal of other students, bags packed, making their way towards the grand doors, as if they were soldiers going to war. He got up to follow them, albeit at his own pace. He raised his head slightly, dark eyes scanning the masses, trying to find someone he knew, though he didn't succeed. There was far too many people flocking around so trying to pinpoint one of two people was practically impossible. He tried to keep his spirits up though, he hadn't really gone camping before so it was a pretty interesting and new experience. He had fire alchemy at his disposal too - so long as it didn't rain - and that was always useful to have in a tight situation. What could go wrong really?

They reached Celestial Peak, which was where the majority of the group split up and went in several different directions to tents, or more specifically, the girls went in one direction, the guys in another, since the tents were kinda far apart instead of mingling with one another, which was probably to prevent the inhabitants of said tents mingling as well. Now then... all of the tents looked quite big and habitable, and he could see the people in all of them looking quite content with their surroundings. Within minutes though he found the Horcruxes tent and proceeded to walk in. Immediately his eyes lit up and he could feel a glomp attack coming on. "YU-! Oh hi there," Almost instantly after he started speaking he noticed two others in the tent too, and quickly changed his tactics. He grinned at them and then proclaimed, "I'm Roy Mustang. Haven't seen you two around before, I don't think..." He grinned at the two of them, then turned it upon Yuki. "I see you managed to find this place without getting lost, again," he said softly, almost a whisper, the grin fading slightly so that he appeared mainly serious when talking to the boy before him. He had been worried about whether Yuki was even going to show up at all, although he also didn't expect to share a tent with him too. Things really were starting to look up. He moved slightly to dump his bag on his bed. He had all the time in the world to pack it, so why start now? Putting his hands in his pockets, he turned back to the three of them, half wondering if anyone else was going to show up or if this was it.
