A few people stopped and just stared at the small doll that was nailed to the wall. The doll that had blond hair that stood straight up with a purple spot, though that oddity did not catch the attention of the group of boys. No what grabbed their attention were the pins and needles that pierced the doll throughout its entire body. After staring for what seemed like hours the group turned as one to one of their companions.

"Odd…," Ulrich Stern began hesitantly, "What did you do?" However even as he began to speak he found his eyes flipping between the doll that was nailed to one of the walls near their shared room in the dormitory and his best friend. His fellow companions likewise joined him in switching between the doll and their friend, though Thomas Jolivet seemed more interested in the doll than his friend for some reason.

Odd Della Robbia in turn looked at his friend and asked," What makes you think I did something?!" As one his friends stared at him flatly, except Thomas whose eyes widened as if something clicked while staring at the doll. "Oh come on! Someone created a voodoo doll of me and nails to a wall and I'm the bad guy?!" A few of the boys shifted a bit, even as Ulrich continued to stare at his friend and Thomas's found his lips twitching. "Why I'm an innocent vict-"

"Claire made this," Thomas's voice cut in even as he began to laugh, "I didn't even know that she had it in her. Then again you did date her and Magali at the same time." At once Odd stopped and reflected on how Claire Girard and Magali de Vasseur were rather pissed at him once they found out that little detail he hid while dating them. At the same time the other boys looked to the doll and then Odd once again and Ulrich couldn't help but comment "I think she's mad at you." At that comment the others laughed at the understatement.

"Yeah. Though" Matthew Ducrocq began a bit nervously, "I think it would be a good idea for you not to repeat that." With another stare at the voodoo doll the teenager continued, "After all Magali slapped you and Claire…yeah" Matthew trailed off as he just gestured with his finger. "Right…. I'll get right on that." Odd replied while the others looked at the doll.

"What are you guys doing?" Jim couldn't help blink at the sight that met his eyes. A group of teenage boys who looked prepared to play baseball, staring at a voodoo of one of their friends in a sense of fascinated horror, while said friend looked a little pale and a bit lost on how to proceed. At the sound of his voice the group blinked looked at him, commented that they going to play baseball, and since none of them felt inclined to tattle (either to hidden amusement or fear) Jim was left with the feeling it one of Odd's ex-girlfriends who vandalized school property.

After removing doll and fixing the wall, Jim found himself a bit lost on which of Odd's ex-girlfriend would do such a thing. After some thought he decided to employ a tactic his commanding officer did in the army to get the point across. The next morning the students were rather surprised to find a list posted on the dormitory wall when they left to go to classes.

Don't make a voodoo doll of you ex and nail it to a wall.

From there it doesn't take long for the story to get out though the boys still don't tattle which they promise themselves has nothing to do with the way Claire smiles at them. To Jim's disappoint the trick doesn't reveal who was behind it, but does create what the students would refer to the list.

Author's Note: Thomas and the others are real characters from the show they just tend to be in the background. Furthermore this chapter helps establish how the rules are created, while the second chapter helps illustrate how they will continue.
