Who I'm with- Imalia and Why'nn(@folclor and James(@TommyGun15


What I'm doing-not understanding.


Scarlet still felt empty, she wanted someone, anyone to embrace her and tell her it would be okay. Someone to just lead her to what she wanted. "Do you really love me?" She asked Imalia. She didn't wait for a answer. She saw Why'nn make a break for the window. The girl was weak, the fall would hurt her. Scarlet not think ran and grabbed her.


"You'll hurt yourself, stay put Mistress Imalia is here to protect you." She pulled Why'nn back. This wasn't tontry and hurt Why'nn or take her. Scar had acted on instinct... To save her. Maybe some of Lettie was still there after all.

Grim chuckled and caught the second funnel cake. "Aye, but wot fun wood dat be?" He took a big bite and smiled as powdered sugar flew over his whiskers and chin. "Mayhaps we did, but I dinnae t'ink we did." Munching a a big bite of sweet. "Lesh gow ashk heem." Looking to him and elbowing his side. "Dunfrawn. Lesh goo shtart shum..." Swallowing he grinned. "Less go start sum fun!"

What I'm doing- hugging.


Violet spied Grim and her heart burst with joy. She ran down from the bleachers and jumped at him.


"My otter!" She cried and tackle hugged him. "Are you okay? You seem okay, but I can't tell." She was so happy to see him. Her bad dream had really scared her.

Who I'm with: James (@TommyGun15) and Scarlet (@StartingOver)/Grim (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna) and Violet


What I'm doing: Sighing/Scared/Chatting


Imalia took a deep breath and moved, gathering James into her arms after she cut his restraints lose. "Yes, Lettie. I love you." She maneuvered her apprentice's head so it rested against her shoulder. "That hasn't changed. If you need me come by later. I'm going to leave Delrick's apprentice with you but I'm taking James with me."


The enchantress turned and began to walk away.


---


Again, the girl whimpered as she was caught but, in her panic, she heard the words "protect you" and, thus, did not pull away. Instead, shaking and a little scared, uncertain of her surroundings and fairly confused due to the abrupt wakening, Why'nn turned and clung to Scarlet. Whether or not she knew it was the person who had begun to hurt her earlier was unclear. What was clear was she was scared and felt Scarlet was offering comfort. If the teacher looked, she would realize that at least a few of the suggestions still existed in the girl's mind.


---


"Why is your first inclination to think he's hurt?" Valian asked, sighing as the moment was shattered. And he'd been looking forward to having some more guy time with his friend. Ah well. When a guy was as much of a chick magnet as Grim was, Valian supposed it couldn't be helped. "You don't happen to know where everyone went, do you Violet?"

What I'm doing- Just done with today.


"I want to Imalia, I really do." She looked back before looking down at the small girl holding on to her. She felt zero disere to take her. Scarlet had been shaken badly, but protecting Why'nn soothed her. She smiled and petted Why'nn's head. "I won't bring any more harm to you, would you like to get some food and fresh air. I'd like to talk you you." She looked down at Why'nn.

"Maybe cause last time I saw him he was hurt dummy!" She snapped back. She didn't appreciate the constant stream of comments coming from Valian. "I'd be nicer to you if you wouldn't be such a smartass 24/7." She grumbled. She however looked around. "You are right this place is empty. " she looked just as confused as he did.
 
Shard


Location: Grounds


With: Lovely Nishira @folclor Protege Ivela @Lunaria Silver Cuddles the Chaos Beast


Action: Cheering, losing feeling in his legs.


Shard, now simply looking at the sky of the plane slowly removed his hat and reached inside, pulling out a small flag with a "N" on it and held it up, waving it back and forth as he whistled flirtily at Nishira. "Something else... I should mention lovely Keeper... things of Chaos do not tire. When confronting one, it will always perform at it's peak capacity, even as you may start to fatigue."


Chaos Beast


Location:Grounds


With: Prey


Action: Rawwrr!


The Chaos Beast rose it's arms in defense against Nishira's fire, it's "flesh" burning and causing the creature great agony. But the creature did not stop. Seeing the cage coming, the creature leapt quickly to the side, smashing it's very considerable bulk into Ivela before launching three quick blasts of moderately powerful energy at Nishira and, true to Shard's words, despite it's injuries, the beast did not seem to be becoming any less efficient.

What I am doing: Clinging


The girl nodded, not letting go of her hold on Scarlet. It had been a rough day and it wasn't half over yet. She did notice the distinct lack of James's presence in the room and it saddened her, but she said nothing. No, she didn't want to think anymore. Her body ached, her thoughts were slow. Why'nn didn't want to walk, she didn't care if she got food, she was the least guarded she could be at this point. Putty in the hands of whoever held her.
 
Location- Ritual room.


Who I'm with-Why'nn(@folclor


What I'm doing- treating her nicely


Scarlet smiled and picked her up. "Can you tell me what you like to eat little one?" She asked as they walked. "I'm a very good cook, I don't remember how I got so good, but I can handle most dishes." She said. "Getting some food in you would help build back some of that engery I took." She felt bad about that, the whole thing. She wanted to leave Why'nn and James alone, maybe Nishira could just give her new less protected prey?" There people idoit." She said to herself.

Who I'm with: Shard, the Chaos beast (@Mad Prince of Sanity), and Ivela (@Lunaria Silver)/Scarlet (@StartingOver)


What I'm doing: Battling/Acting like a child


Nishira glared at Shard. "Perhaps I need to remind you that your place is not at my side, but beneath me. Creatures of chaos are not new to me." 'Even if they shouldn't be in my realm.'





The headmistress called forth the blade Sieghart gave her before the start of the tourney, a vile steel that seemed to lick at the very essence of the Chaos beast. "Come at me, beast. Come at me that I may kill you once and for all." As soon as the beast came close enough she would swing at it.


---


Why'nn held onto Scarlet as she was lifted and carried. "Cake..." The girl closed her eyes and rested her head against Scarlet's shoulder. "I do not eat often, Mistress." Her light frame attested to this fact. "You are very warm. Are you okay, Mistress?" It was as if she believed she was back in Thay. She was treating Scarlet like a noblewoman, not a teacher. "You do not have to carry me..." But she clung tightly to the teacher. "I apologize for my unclean state. I promise I shall cut my hair soon..."
 



Location: Hallway


Who I'm with: Mistress (@folclor )


What I'm doing: Waking up


When Imalia picked James up he curled up in her arms, huddling close to her somewhat like a puppy. From the looks of it, the strain of having his memories altered had temporarily left him trapped inside his own mind as he tried to fix the memories that his mind was currently rejecting. It took a few minutes, but by the time Imalia had left Nishira's classroom James had fixed them, and could recall that his first time had been with Why'nn... although that didn't stop the false memory of making love to Scarlet from flashing through his mind from time to time.


As his consciousness returned, James's eyes slowly blinked open, and he realized that Imalia was carrying him. He looked up at her, his eyelids still heavy.


"Mistress..? What happened? I remember Scarlet was trying to hypnotize me, and she let me inside her head. I knew that it was a gamble, but she'd beaten me before, and I didn't want to lose again... She cast a spell that altered my memories before I pulled out. I fixed it, but I don't know what happened on the physical plane while I was out..."

Who I'm with: James (@TommyGun15)


What I'm doing: Carrying him


Imalia sighed. She turned into her quarters and closed the door behind her, setting him down on her couch and standing back, her arms crossed. "I intervened. You were in way over your head! Why did you challenge a teacher in the first place?! She's not as powerful as I, no, but she's much more powerful than you!"


The enchantress let out a huff and sat down across from him. Light filtered through the windows, bathing the room in a gentle light. "James... I'm going to have to teach you when you're facing an enemy that you have no chance against." Her expression showed disappointment. "I know you're talented. I'm aware that you'll be my successor and your power will grow as I teach you, but right now you are forbidden from challenging teachers like you did!"

Who I'm With: Nishira (@folclor ) Shard and Chaos Beast (@Mad Prince of Sanity )


What I'm Doing: Getting pissed


Ivela's eyes widened as the bulky creature was about to crash into her. She automatically took a defensive stance and used Ken, an advanced technique of Nen. This technique shrouded her in her aura, protecting her body from serious harm. Her aura would absorb the damage instead of her. Even so, the creature still sent her flying backwards. She landed on her back several feet away. Ivela groaned as she got up. Due to her aura, the damage was not as severe as it should have been. It was still painful though.


"Nothing I can't handle." She whispered, wiping blood from her lip. She glared up at the beast, starting to get angry. One part of her mind was telling her to leave this be. To let the headmistress deal with the beast. There was no reason to involve herself in a fight she didn't need to be a part of. It was screaming at her to run.


Another part of her told her to destroy the being that dared attack her. To paint the area with it's blood, provided it could bleed. It would be such a disappointment if it couldn't. It told her to cut the thing into as many pieces as it could be cut and then throw the pieces in the air like confetti.


An aura of bloodlust began to surround her. Ivela was tired. Her day had been far too long and frustrating already. She needed to blow off some steam.


More out of habit than necessity, Ivela reached over to grab her Violin case. She blinked upon realizing it wasn't there. She must have left it on the bleachers.


'Damn. I really wanted to use my bow.' She was, of course, referring to her Violin bow. She would have to stick with daggers and music sheets then. She wished she had a longer blade. Ivela held her arm outwards towards the beast, sending 13 daggers flying at it at once. The daggers were aimed towards what she considered it's mouth. If any of them hit their mark, they would delve in a deep as they could go, the hilt of the daggers sharpening to make it easier.

"I like your hair, it's cute." She said laughing as she carried her. "I'll carry you, you're clearly tired. We can eat and rest." She said. She got into her quaters and set Why'nn down.


"Okay make yourself at home, I'll start getting this cake ready." She walked into her kitchen and started to cook. Cooking made her happy, reminded her of a simpler time.

Who I'm with: Mistress (@folclor )


What I'm doing: Ashamed


James hung his head in shame as Imalia admonished him. She was right, he'd been in way over his head, and he'd known it going in. Thinking about it, he realized something else too. It hadn't just been for Why'nn, a part of it had been about pride. He'd wanted to prove that he was Imalia's best student, not Scarlet. It was selfish of him, and he knew it.


"I'm sorry Mistress. I acted stupid and prideful, and deserve your admonishment. I promise not to provoke any of the instructors from now on. Nor will I interfere with them in their pursuits. But Mistress... If I might make a request..."


James looked up, meeting Imalia's gaze. While his shame was clear to see, there was also a bit of fire in his eyes.


"I believe that today has been a learning experience, and it has taught me that I have much to learn on the subject of mental defense and attack. I realize that I have no right to ask this of you..."


James stood from the couch, then knelt to the floor, bowing to Imalia.


"But I humbly request to be trained in the art of mental defense. I cannot deny that my defeat shames me, and I do not wish to have my mind invaded again."

What I'm doing: Chatting


Hearing Violet shout, he quickly set the funnel cake down and braced for the incoming hug. Chuckling he hugged her back and set her down. He'd been enjoying the chat about tactics and strategy, hopefully it would continue.


Although he was confused as to why she thought he was hurt, he could only think that she'd forgotten he'd been with the nurses and their healing magics no too long ago. "I be fine lass. De nurses are very gud at der jobs." Looking around and back at the fight that seemed to have become a stand off of sorts, he watched as Valian and Violet interacted. Hoping they could truly get along.

What I'm doing: Being humbled/Replying/Talking


The moment Why'nn was set down she fell into a bow. "Mistress, I do not wish to be divisive, but can the slaves not cook? Your hands should not be sullied with such a task." It would be clear to Delrick, even if not to Scarlet, that the girl was reverting back to the mannerisms of her country. Over the past two months she had mostly been broken of them (even if staff had caught her, more than once, attempting to sneak a razor to cut or shave her hair), but now she seemed to be regressing.


Whether it was from the mind tricks earlier, or simply the fatigue, she was not exactly the same girl Scarlet met earlier. However, as she followed the woman to the kitchen, she seemed to realize she might've spoken out of turned and bowed again. "I apologize, Your Excellency. Please forgive this young daeronness for speaking out of turn." At that, Why'nn turned and returned to the living area. Scarlet had said to make herself at home, but it was not her place to enjoy such lavishness.


In truth, Why'nn wasn't entirely certain why she had been invited here. There was no option for advancement and the Mistress had not entirely been clear on the purpose. Mistress had stated that her hair was 'cute.' Why'nn glanced, noting that the length was, currently, just below her chin. Well, that was still short enough to be appropriate, even if Mistress Zaltya would disagree. The girl sat upon a chair, back straight, posture impeccable, and folded her hands in her lap.


---


"Rise," Imalia sighed. "Have I ever asked you to bow to me before? I haven't and I never will." She drew herself up. "Yes, I'll train you in mental defense. I'll have to mention this to Delrick as he'll likely want to take his apprentice under advisement. I left her with Scarlet. If he has an issue with that, he can go get her."


Their training would have to wait, though, the tournament was dangerously unprotected. "Come, James. We have to return to the arena now. I'll train you tonight."


---


"Aw, Violet, I never knew you cared so much!" He laughed, then shook his head. "Nah, it's my job as a big brother! I gotta be a pain in the ass for a bit. I mean, we've so much to catch up on!" Valian wrapped his arm around Violet's shoulders.

James rose to his feet as she chided him for bowing... again. That didn't mean James wouldn't bow next time though, as he preferred showing his respect by bowing. He followed Imalia as they started on the way to the arena.


"Thank you Mistress, for saving me and teaching me. I owe you more than I can ever repay."

"I can't want to take care of you myself?" She asked looking to Grim. "I show signs of being a housewife and this guy doesn't approve!" She laughed some. She looked at Valian. "Wanna lose that arm brother?" But she smiled and allowed him to pull her closer.

"You aren't anyones slave, I'm sorry if I made you feel that way earlier. My head gets messed up." That was the understatement of the year. One day she would be strong enough to remain this person, but now she intended to make it up to Why'nn. "Why'nn if you'd like to help me as my partner then come on in." She smiled.

Doing: Taking a huge risk


Reagan groaned as it looked like she wasn't making any progress. 'C'mon, think! There's always a way out. Look at it from a different perspective, anything!' Reagan hovered over one of the few patches of unmarked, unsealed, factory new patches of ground and glared at Iana, looking for something that would help.


Reagan blinked as she had an idea. It was stupid. It was crazy. It was her last shot. She disengaged her Elec-Wing MKII, the electricity fizzling out as she landed. She drew her daggers, facing Iana. 'No backing out now...' Reagan ran at Iana, screaming at the top of her lungs, feet pounding against the floor of the arena. Reagan leaped forward, and blinked.


Contrary to the usual fare, Reagan, instead of propelling herself directly into Iana's face bypassing the shell entirely, blinked in between Iana's back and her seal shell, reversing her momentum and direction in the process. Reagan sailed into Iana's back, trying to jab her daggers into the Undead's neck and surging electricity though them. Reagan's legs moved to wrap themselves around Iana's waist, careful not to touch a single seal.


Internally, Reagan was in a great deal of pain. Reversing both her direction and momentum drained nearly everything she had. 'Keep going... just a little longer...' Reagan put the full force of her remaining power into bringing Iana down and finishing this fight.

Doing: Just a little more...


Iana reacted on instinct and ducked to avoid the daggers coming for her and moved to avoid being ensnared. 'Just a little more and I'll win!' Iana thought with fervor. Two seals behind Reagan, responding to Iana started to drift together and slowly overlap. Iana reactivated the seal she had used at the beginning of the match, her timed personal sealing, and disappeared into the seal as just before the seals finished overlapping.

What I am doing: Being confused/Walking and talking


"I should hope not, Mistress." Why'nn frowned. Had she spoken so unintelligibly? However, when she spoke again it was in her mother tongue, Thayan Mulhorandi. If Scarlet wanted to understand it was likely she'd have to look inside the girl's head to get the knowledge. "Mistress, what city are we in? I remember leaving Bezantur, but I cannot remember where I went from there. This is not Delhumide and I have not seen any red wizards or soldiers in your estate, so this has nothing to do with the war... Outside, the land seems lush. I am to assume the war has not reached this far yet? It is not Eltabbar, I know... And it does not feel as the Thaymount, nor even Gauros. Is this perhaps in the tharch of Laprendrar? If so, may I go outside later? I have... I have not seen this part of the country. As you understand, I am mostly contained to my studies in the temple."


She stood and went to the kitchen door. "I have not seen any slaves, either. Mistress, what is the purpose in being here? Have I displeased Lady Priestess Zaltya? I do hope I have not... If so, please do get to the punishment or instruct me in how I may get back into her good graces. I much enjoy my studies and do not wish to be sent to the warfront."

Imalia put her hand on her apprentice's back in a soothing gesture. "You'll get better, James. It's both admirable and strange that you risked so much for Delrick's apprentice. Why did you go after her, even at your own peril?"

James sighed and thought about it.


"Well... Why'nn is my friend. And we had that... moment, together. And afterwards... well, I said some things to her. I didn't want to ruin our friendship, but I don't think that's what she wanted to hear. When she called out to me for help, I guess I was hoping I could make it up to her. And... there was one other reason that I'm not very proud of..."


James hung his head in shame as he spoke.


"Scarlet was just so... stuck up about her skill as a hypnotist. I can't deny that a part of me wanted to prove that I was better than her. You saw how that turned out..."
 
Position : The Arena


Companions : Partner Reagan (@shadowstrikr25) , Target (@Happy Red Mage)


Engaging in : Out of 'Fucks'/Time Elapsed , Fleshsack!


HK-50-01 was just about finished caring about what happened outside of his specific task. Some sort of Music Assassin - 01 found this concept rather strange , music as a sort of murderous tool - and Why'nn fought an impressive battle which seemed to leave both on death's door. Connor and James fought , and like most Dark Jedi , Connor quit as soon as it got too hard Typical of his kind. I'd think a full Lord of the Sith would teach him better , though. Ah , but if she taught him better he wouldn't have given mercy , either. Something else seemed to happen to start spewing some sort of corrosive everywhere , and it seemed to involve his Partner , among others. She can take care of herself. I have a job to do right now. Now , if it interfered with that job.. Why , then I'd have to initiate protocols.


After another fight or two - he wasn't particularly keeping track by this point - Reagan herself stepped onto the arena floor to duel an opponent HK-50's recognition circuits didn't find a match for. That didn't surprise him - at this Academy he more kept to himself , rarely interacting outside of his circle of Acquantances. To his Displeasure , their fight seemed to drag on and on , the opponent constantly evading and avoiding attacks while causing needless destruction. She isn't even taking advantage of potential counter attacks! What sort of Fleshsack inefficiency IS this? At least try to take counter attacks to that Lightning instead of.. Whatever THIS is.


After the girl continually evaded his Partner's attacks , he finally decided to enact his duty. The Baragwin Assault Blade he had received for this task was out of its sheath in moments as he dove into the Arena , quickly moving to pacify the offending 'Wonder-Wizard' , as The Over-Predor has termed her type. Most Displeased already , he allowed his anger to color his actions. First he went for plunging the blade directly into her chest , before drawing a Mandalorian SlugThrower pistol and firing multiple rounds into the skull. As the red-robed - if she wasn't before , she was now - female fell to the ground , he withdrew his blade and viscously flicked the blood off of it. The nurses collected the body to heal as he walked back to his position , beckoning Reagan to follow "Pleased Statament/Request : and now that that foolishness is over , let's let the next opponents kill each other. Impressive display , Regan , though she could've ruined you had she taken advantage of a counter strike.. Nevertheless , It's good to be able to kill someone every now and then. I was hoping to be allowed to use this blade today.."

"Nothing is going to happen to you Why'nn." She said. "Do you not recall the last two months?" She walked over and smiled patting Why'nn on her head. "Do you want me to help you remember, even if it means you might not like me much anymore?" She asked smiling. She felt like this was her fault. Why'nn didn't even recall that she was on this world. She was talking in her native tounge.

Reagan slowly got to her feet, shaking. 'How... in the Rakdos... oh who cares, it's done.' She started to shakily follow HK-50, easily exhausted by her lack of mana. "Th-thanks... partner... Don't know... why she didn't..." Reagan sharply inhaled as her internal injuries were aggravated. "do that... Why are there three of you?" Reagan, due to exactly what she had done, stumbled, fell forward, and swiftly fell into unconsciousness. Nurses would quickly rush to her and move her to the infirmary. A trickle of blood dropped out of Reagan's open mouth and onto the arena floor as she was moved.

What I'm doing: Talking, then instructing/Confused


Imalia nodded slowly. "I see. Do you have feelings for this girl beyond friendship? I understand you're a young man, but it's generally safer to let the headmistress pair you with someone. It rarely fails, though that may be more to do with how she binds their souls together than anything else..."





It was at this point that they reached the arena. As she noticed most of the teachers missing she frowned. Realizing the time, she stepped up and cast a charm to get everyone's attention.





"It's now time for lunch. All students and staff make your way to the cafeteria. The semi finals and finals will take place after the break!"





---


The fact that Mistress was speaking in some strange dialect of Common bothered her greatly. Why'nn shifted. What was going on?





"Mistress, there are no outlanders about. You may speak our tongue. I do not know what you are talking about. Two months?" The girl was getting agitated and began backing away from Scarlet. "Is this some sort of test? A-Am I... Am I to be sent away? Have I failed in some way? Please, I do not know what you mean... Mistress... I apologize! I am sorry! Whatever it is that I have done, I apologize!" Why'nn fell to her knees, pleading eyes turned up at Scarlet. "I am sorry for attacking Lady Priestess Zaltya! I am sorry! I did not know what else to do! Please, please do not send me back to Delhumide! Do not send me to Szass Tam's army! Please! I shall be good! I shall do as i am asked! I will not flinch away from vivisecting slaves! I will train with the monks as well as attending to my studies! Please! I am sorry! Gods! Lord Jergal, I am sorry!"





She looked to the heavens now, hands clasped together. "Oh, Forgotten One, I did not mean to strike your chosen priestess! Please forgive me! I am sorry! I apologize! Do not forsake me! Please allow my return to your temple! I swear I shall never raise a hand to any of your servants again!" Tears steamed down her cheeks. Her attention turned back to Scarlet now. "If I have done anything to displease you, Mistress, I am sorry! P-Please do not send me into battle! I do not wish to fight!"
