Curious....
Arkadi checks his cleaning schedule for the day.
Well....what a coincidence... he says, adding the auditorium to his list with a pencil during 4th period.

During the fourth period of the school day, Arkadi heads over by the auditorium, meandering over to the room.
((Could I get a stealth check?))

As Arkadi tries to sneak over to the room, and seem like he is just meandering over, he hears voices say, "Hey did you hear that?" The door to the unused room opens up and a head pops out. Arkadi recognizes it as the girl Lisa and she immediately curses under her breath, "Shit."

Arkadi, pushing a cleaning cart in front of him with the various accoutrement of his profession, feigns surprise.
"Children! What are you doing here?! Room is off limits, and you should be in class."

Arkadi can hear a series of hushed whispers from behind the door, before it opens, standing there is a young woman he doesn't recognize. In fact he is unsure if she is even a student. Arkadi is quickly able to spot her slitted cat like eyes, and take note that her skin has an almost icy sheen to it. Even at this distance Arkadi notices a slight dip in temperature. She is most certainly not of this world. The new girl speaks softly, and the words are like music in Arkadi's ear, "Wouldn't it be nice if you just went and did something else right now, maybe take a nice smoke break?" For a very brief moment Arkadi does find his hand reaching for his pack of lucky strikes, but he is able to shake it off quickly realizing that her words had intruded upon his mind.

Actually, on second thought, he DOES reach for his pack of cigarettes, and fishes one out. While he wasn't very happy with the way this new madness suggested it, it was nevertheless a good suggestion.
As he does this: "It would be nice, yes. Would also be nice if you explained yourself in civilized manner without parlor tricks, yes?"
He lights his cigarette by flicking his thumb against his curled fingers, producing a flame from it's tip.
This was, plainly, intended as a hint.

The creature hesitates, the two girls behind it look ultimately confused. The creature frowns at Arkadi and says slowly and calmly, "You are much more than you seem. But you're not that impressive." She steps away from the door pacing out into the hallway, as she looks at Arkadi she says, "Now then why do I need to explain myself?"

He grins, lighting his cigarette and puffing contentedly.
Moody, these Fades. God forbid they don't get what they want....
"Because I said so..." is his reply, stoking the flames a bit.
"And because there is doorway to your fairy forest in my A/C room that requires closing. And...."
He points at the girls: "....because they should be in class."

She laughs, it is a quite beautiful if somewhat cold laugh, "I was just passing through there when these fine young ladies called out for someone to help them. And so here I am." She smiles, the expression is unsettling from a fey creature, "To ensure that they don't have to do stupid things like, go to class."

Arkadi turns to look significantly at the girls, in a way that suggested something in the lines of Really? That was your ultimate reason?
"Ladies? This is true?"

The two girls giggle and then nod, then the blond says, "Well, yeah."

"And I don't suppose you do this out of kindness of your heart or satisfaction of helping others, Ms.......hmmmm....what shall I call you?" he asks, directing the questions to the Fade.

"Somerset," she supplies for Arkadi, and then her smile widens as she explains, "I do assist them for a purpose other than kindness, but it is no business of yours what it is."

"Somerset, then.....at some point I will want to meet Lancashire and Middlesex...." he says the last part under his breath and mostly for his own amusement.
"Maybe it's not my business, yes. Maybe they are paying you in virgin blood or stolen babies, in which case it is, and I would question the quality of their parental supervision. I will be judge, thank you. And open portals full of spectral tourists interfering with my A/C room MAKES this my business....as a side note."

Somerset snorts when Arkadi says virgin blood, she then smiles through the rest of his words. When he finishes she smirks and says, "So if this is your problem, what are you going to do about it?"
