I Want to Know

[Deleted]

The Australian had her hands slid into the pockets of her sweatpants as she trudged across the courtyard. She'd just recently gotten to the school. She didn't start the year until fall, but she'd figured summer was the perfect time to come along, because at least then, she had a chance to meet people on a more social level and less class oriented. 

Looking around for a moment, Tony leaned against one of the trees and looked out over the courtyard and the residents within it. There was more than enough strange faces to look at. Faces she'd likely never remember. She was curious to see if perhaps some of them stuck out more than others. She wasn't about to waste her time on boring people. She'd had enough people like that in her life. People you only hung around with just because.

Her piercing blue eyes scanned over the crowd once more before she moved forward with a sigh. Taking a sharp left turn, Tony's shoulder bumped into a nearby girl. Swirling around, Tony's hands lifted to shoulder height and she offered the girl a smirk. "Ey, easy there, Tiger. At least buy me dinner before you start gettin' handsy, ey?" She'd just left Australia, so her accent was still really thick. She gave the girl a quick once-over. She looked pretty good too, damn. She hoped she wasn't one of those stuck up bitches that took offense to everything.

Not that Tony expected anything, but it was cool to meet people who didn't take everything too seriously. Reaching her hand out, Tony's smirk widened. "Name's Murphy, or Tony. Whichever you prefer, babe."

Devyn Solway

[Devyn Solway]

*takes places after the whole road trip with Vera*

Devyn had just gotten back from a long road trip with her girlfriend that had its up and downs but overall she was not trying to think about it too much. There was just drama, emotions, and other things mixed all up in it that Devyn needed to have some space of her own. Not like she was avoiding Vera or anything like that but she was letting her girl settle back in on her own and Devyn did the same. It didn't take long to get unpacked and settled back in the school but she was still debating a few things.

The main thing being that it was summer break and part of her wanted her and Vera to go off campus again to avoid certain people. Certain people that Devyn would have been pleased and even dug the grave for if they ended up dying. That train of thought ended when someone ended up running into her, a very attractive female at that; who was already being playful and friendly. Devyn could not help but already to slip in her flirting behavior as a sly smirk spread across her lips as she didn't hide the fact that she totally just checked the girl out.

"My bad, want me to buy you a drink to make up for it? Something to cool you off because you are smoking hot." Devyn said as she dropped a cheesy line because she just really wanted to. She was even chuckling showing that she did not take herself seriously with that one. She figured with the girl being as playful as she was that the little joke there would have been one the other girl would get. "Nice to meet you Tony. I'm Devyn but you can call me Dev if you like." Devyn said, chuckling a little at being called babe.

"I'm guessing you are a new transfer? Cause I'm pretty sure I remember seeing you around the school and that sexy accent sounds fresh and untainted by the American slang." Devyn pointed out, happy to meet someone new. It was better than dealing with certain people that were still in the back of her mind.

Tony was pleasantly surprised at the demeanor this girl caught onto. Life was far too short to get pissed over minor details like this. Sure, she understood that not everyone was as carefree as she was, but it seemed rather pointless to look at life through a pair of dim and gloomy binoculars. No, Tony much preferred to take the high road and have fun while doing it.

Tony's head tilted slightly as she looked at the young woman. She issued a low chuckle, hands sliding further into her pockets as she rolled back on her heels. "You don't waste any time, do ya?" she grinned. She could appreciate casual flirting. In a way, Tony preferred it. It made everything all the more exciting. "Dev it is. Pretty name for a pretty lady."

"That I am," she continued, nodding. She nodded towards the school and then looked back at the girl. "Just came 'ere a few days ago." Hey, at least someone appreciated the accent. Usually, people just looked at her funny or asked her if she knew Crocodile Dundee. Some Americans were so ignorant. Thankfully, thus far, this girl seemed rather chill. "The school seems pretty cool so far, eh? Lotsa pretty people." She quirked her brow at the girl. "If I'd known that before, I'd come much sooner."

[Devyn Solway]

"Nope, life is too short and this sort of thing is one of my favorite pass times." Devyn responded back with a chuckle. Dev really did enjoy flirting; it was probably why she was better suited to being a player then a person tied down. Yet, there were some good things to being tied down that she was currently not trying to think about. Really she was trying to not think about too much besides what was going on in the moment. Things just worked better for her that way when she was not thinking about things that happened in the past.

"Heh, not used to being called pretty." Devyn pointed out but she would tolerate it for now because a sexy girl was calling her it. No, pretty just didn't seem to fit right to her in her opinion. Dev was pleased that she was right on her guess that the girl was new, because how awkward would it be if the girl had been here and Dev just never saw her? Super awkward. "Nice, mind if I ask where from? I want to say the outback but you know." Devyn said as she gave a slight chuckle. The accent sounded like it was Australian but Dev was only really good at pointing out the British, Spanish, and Russians accents without too much difficulty.

"Yeah, BA is pretty chill overall. Trust me. Been here since I was fourteen and if you have not guessed I'm not the good girl type." Devyn admitted as she slipped her hands into her own pockets, so she would be a good girl. Her pockets had always been a way for her to keep herself in line and not do something she should not do. "Tons. Sometimes I wonder how I'm able to stay Bi with all these good looking ladies around." Dev admitted with a nod. So this girl either played for both teams or was into girl, she was not fully certain yet. "Did you get your tour and all that stuff out of the way yet?" Devyn then asked, figuring if the girl needed some assistance she could easily help.

"Good to know," Tony grinned. She could appreciate someone who took life for what it was and didn't waste time. She didn't much like doing that herself. Life was far too short to worry about the finer details and inner workings. As long as you did what made you happy, what could possibly go wrong? All the time you spent being sad or worried was a second of happiness you could never get back. Of that, Tony was a firm believer.

"That's a shame," she admitted, head nodding slowly as her piercing blue eyes traveled up the girl's form. She supposed she could understand why people wouldn't though. Not because the girl wasn't pretty, but because she had that unique look about her. "Australia born an' raised," she added with a shrug. "Sydney to be exact." Though, her accent likely gave her away. Most people seemed to find it incredibly easy to guess where she was from. She had a rather strong accent and did nothing to hide it either.

Laughing, Tony's arms crossed over her chest. "Good. My favorite kind of gal." Now, bad girls knew how to have fun, whereas the good ones always seemed to second guess everything. Everything had to be thought through and planned, and really, who even had the time for that? Tony much preferred diving head first into something and dealing with everything else as it came. "Well, to be fair, there's plenty of good looking guys around too," she said, head jerking to throw a quick glance around. "That I did," she continued, looking back at the girl. "Already settled in an' everythin'."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn nodded, keeping her smirk; really she was unable to get rid of it at this point with such pleasant company. She loved being around people that were similar to her in the whole loving to flirt and just have some fun. Dev just had to remind herself that she was taken and not in an open relationship so this was sticking to just being the verbal kind of fun and that was it. It was kind of hard to forget she was taken when she had the other half to the necklace she had given to her girlfriend.

It was always on her, except when she was involved in some serious workout, but it had a place along with her other necklace she wore all the time with her father's ring and various keys and knickknacks on it from past relationships. "Nah, I’m alright with begin called sexy, hot, and attractive over cutie words. They are not really me." Devyn responded with a small shrug. She didn't mind being called them from certain people and from time to time but overall she didn't really think cute fit her. Dev relaxed a little more when the girl confirmed where she was from, which made Devyn feel like she had not been wrong to assume that right off the back.

"Awesome. See I thought that but I didn't want to just assume since you know how Spanish speaking people get offended if you call them Mexican if they are Dominican or something." Devyn said. She didn't know if that was the best example but it was the best she had. She didn't want to compare Tony to the crocodile hunter where she might not have even been from where he was. All she did know was that she loved every moment that the other woman spoke, it was just so sexy. Most accents were, to Devyn. "Heh, you might just have to be my friend, like right now." Devyn said when Tony voiced that she was her kind of gal. This girl was just too perfect.

"Oh for sure. A good bit of them are a little on the soft side, but everyone here is a little...you know." Devyn said, not sure of the right word to use. All of them likely had some kind of baggage that they had to deal with. So she understood why some of the guys were soft and why some of the girls were a bit...loose? Who knew, Dev didn't think on it too much, it was not important to her anymore now that she was with someone again. "Ah, well good but now I feel like I can't help you out. Want to get a drink or something real quick, at least?" Devyn asked. She didn't want to just leave the girl so soon after meeting her so soon to be friend.

[Deleted]

"I'll keep that in mind," Tony replied with a smile. As long as the girl didn't feel annoyed, Tony was glad. Now, Tony hardly cared about how her actions affected others, but that didn't mean she wanted to run around pissing potential friends off, and she could honestly see the two of them becoming friends rather quickly. They seemed similar, yet different enough to keep things interesting.

What else could she possibly ask for?

Chuckling softly, Tony shrugged. "I totally know what you mean," she said, a smile splaying on her lips. "But nah, really, don't worry. I'm not easily offended." She took everything people said in stride. She always had. She had a thick skin and people's words or comments hardly affected her. She was far too carefree to really care about the greater problems in life. One second of anger was a second of happiness wasted and all that. "Consider it done, babe," she winked at her.

Hey, this was going much better than expected.

"Aren't we all?" she asked. She wasn't entirely sure what the other girl meant, but at the end of the day, everyone had their own shit to deal with. No one was perfect. There was little point in pretending either. The girl quickly changed the topic and Tony's eyebrows bounced up in amusement. "Now you've really caught my attention." She gestured with her hand. "Lead the way, babe."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn just gave a nod when Tony said that she would keep in mind the kinds of words that Devyn was used to hearing when she was given complements. She was not going to have a cow if Tony didn't want to or never called her those kinds of things, but she didn't really like being called cute. It just didn't feel like a word that fit her and yet people called her it so perhaps it was true. She didn't think on it too much, it was not that big of a deal and plus she was having fun talking to this girl.

Hell, if she met her two years ago, she was sure they could have all sorts of fun together, and while they could still have a lot of fun now it would be a little more limited. Devyn could not get rid of the smirk that had appeared on her face ever since she started to talk to Tony just feeling like the other girl got her. It was always so hard to meet people that just got her but here she had met someone else and the feeling was great. "Cool, I figured someone as chill as you would not be but want to be safe. Some people just are about ready to bite your head off when you get someone thing wrong instead of just explaining it to you." Devyn said as she messed with a stray hair for a moment.

"Awesome and being my friend comes with the added bonus that people rarely give you any drama. Well, the smart ones won't anyways." Devyn assured Tony. Basically meaning the people that were friends with Devyn fell under her protection and those who knew of Devyn; which only really new kids would not, knew not to hurt those she cared about or they would end up hurt. She had proven it and gotten in trouble for it plenty of times now. Devyn nodded at Tony's words; yeah they were all a little soft or messed up in some ways. Not that Devyn would really show those sides but she could not fully deny that she didn't have them.

"Heh, food should also be an attention grabber." Devyn said as she moved ahead to lead the way back to her dorm. Yes, there was a cafeteria but Devyn preferred to eat her own food so was going to treat Tony to her personal food instead. "Are you a hunter or a grazer?" Devyn asked as she walked, basically trying to figure out if Tony liked meat or vegetables more. Sure it could also be in terms of how she likes to peruse people, but Dev left that vague.
