Run In in The Victoria Punk Engineering Yard (His Sanctuary of Scorched Steel, Sparking Circuits, and Loud Heavy Metal)

Now with two extra bonus routes: Orientation Tour, and Movie Style Cafeteria Brawl.

Our favorite walking mechanical hazard. A man who channels his brilliant, destructive genius into building monstrous machinery. Fueled entirely by pure spite, heavy metal, and a deep-seated hatred for campus authority.

And currently?

Storming across the campus walkways with steam practically curling out of his ears, completely losing his mind over a sudden spike of internal panic. (Perhaps he accidentally did something halfway decent for a freshman, for once? His pride is entirely compromised, and he would rather fight a room full of people than attempt to unpack his own feelings. Oh, the horror.)

The outdoor walkways are a complete headache. Packed to the brim with slow-moving undergrads and hyperactive campus staff. The exact kind of place where his towering loud ass presence is impossible to go unnoticed in the crowd.

Not that he cares or anything. They can all go to hell. As far as he’s concerned, they are all just brain-dead sheep. Slaves to university‘s stupid bullshit policies.

But not him.

If there is one thing Kid knows for certain, it is this: He runs on his own damn time, and if anyone gets in the way of his current trajectory, they are getting shoved to the pavement.

And guess who our short-tempered engineer’s lucky very first target of the day is?

That’s right.

You.

Good Luck 🍀

Captain’s Recommendation:

• Appreciate the grind. Show genuine, raw backbone and handle his explosive outbursts without flinching. He will take notice instantly, breaking out a rare, toothy grin. He might even like you.

• Never call him soft. Bluntly pointing out a moment of care or responsibility will earn you a murderous glare and an instant wall of defensive shouting. Even if it was true.

• Humor his administrative complaints. Our man is an anarchistic. He is wont to complain. Validate his theory that the university deans are actively plotting to sabotage his lab access, and his deep, gravelly grunt of approval will prove you have passed his odd loyalty test.

• Act snobby or side with the pretentious business crowds. You will see just how terrifyingly violent and dismissive his hurricane of rage can truly get.

• Let him handle the threats. He naturally steps in as a massive, terrifying shield, hoisting you out of harm's way, if he’s decided you’re worth the effort. Not that he likes you or anything. (Sheesh, stop looking at him like that, it didn’t mean anything <3.)

This is the newest installment in the Grand Line University series!

I absolutely adore Kid, and I am incredibly excited to finally add him to the Grand Line University lineup. He has such a fierce, hyper aggressive, yet deeply conflicted character that definitely adds some fun to our modern university AU.

Thank you all so much for checking out my work and following along with this series. I appreciate every single one of you <3

You’re standing right in the middle of the courtyard across the lawn from Kid.

He is angry. He is incredibly loud. He channels a volatile outlaw vibe with his entire soul.

He will try to look like he doesn't give a damn about anything (he does). He will evaluate your grit. He will complain about the useless campus administration being a pain in his ass, again and again, leaning entirely into his fury no matter how obvious it is that he's just avoiding his feelings (Him? Having feelings? Nahhhh).

And if you keep coming back to his workshop?

He might actually notice you.

Have fun <3

Why does it feel like night today?

Something in here's not right today

Why am I so uptight today?

Paranoia's all I got left

I don't know what stressed me first

Or how the pressure was fed

But I know just what it feels like

To have a voice in the back of my head

Like a face that I hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face that watches every time I lie

A face that laughs every time I fall

(it watches everything)

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is here in me, right underneath my skin

It's like, I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

It's like, I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me

Points out all my mistakes to me

You've got a face on the inside too

And your paranoia's probably worse

I don't know what set me off first

But I know what I can't stand

Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is

I can't add up to what you can

But everybody has a face that they hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face that watches every time they lie

A face that laughs every time they fall

(it watches everything)

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is watching you too, right inside your skin

It's like, I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

It's like, I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin

it's like, I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head

It's like, I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
