The monk nodded and remained where he was. "There are many reasons why. Some are religious in nature, where the body is viewed as a temple and is therefore scared." Indicating a stool for her.  "Others the naked form is very taboo and only to be relieved to ones mate. And still others hold the opinion that it is unclean."  To this he shrugged.  "But then there are those who holds views completely opposite to those I listed." The monk leaned his elbows on the counter, his cup cradled in his hands.  "Let's discuss your tactics and techniques from the tournament. To start tell me the things you did well then the things you could've done better."

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Why'nn sat as directed and nodded as he spoke.  She was about to ask another question, but he launched into an analysis of her performance in the tournament.  Some of information was already known.  However, it never hurt to listen.  So the minutes passed as he explained and she listened and noted.  At the end she smiled.  "Thank you for the criticism.  I shall work on my technique and strategies.  Though... I do hope I am not decapitated next time.  Out of all the ways I have been killed at this school, that is my least favorite."
 
Mistress's Chambers


@TommyGun15


James cheered up a bit when Imalia mentioned going over how he might improve his performance on the battlefield.  He smiled, sitting up in his chair.


"I would appreciate that very much.  Thank you Mistress."


A pencil and a peice of paper rose from James's backpack and began to scribble down notes as Imalia spoke.


Nishira's Office


Geralt raised an eyebrow, giving Nishira an "are you joking" look.  Then he shrugged, and took off his shirt.  Geralt's chest was already a twisted mess of scar tissue accumulated from years of fighting monsters for living.  Geralt began to dig his fingers into his stomach, splitting apart and ripping into the skin until his entrails spilled out of the wound.  Geralt grimaced, but this wasn't the first time he'd been disembowled.  This was just the first time he'd done it to himself.  The wound probably wouldn't really be able to leave a scar, as it had formed from the seam left behind by a previous scar he'd earned whilst fighting a drake.

As Imalia came to the end of her explanations, she took a deep breath.  Hopefully all of this would help James be better in the future.  She certainly didn't want to see him brainwashed or in pain.  "Unless you have anything else you wish to discuss, I think that's it for today.  Enjoy yourself this evening.  Classes run normally tomorrow, remember."


My Office


Nishira frowned.  "Mmm... Maybe I should've had you remove your eye instead...  That's disappointing."  It didn't take her long to stitch the injury back up.  "Now you go find the boy you want as your apprentice and bring him here, forcefully if necessary."  She was a bit tired, but she still had so much more to do today.  And now she had a list of people who wanted to speak with her afterward, as well.  This would be a frustrating day.

Delrick set his cup down and nodded smiling. "Yes, done in that manner I can imagine it was not pleasant, although I would've thought you already incapacitated when Mr. Shell drove the spike of his tomahawk into your forehead." Tapping the spot just above the bridge of his nose. "However a clean single cut to sever the head from the body is as you can hope for from decapitation." The monk wondered what sort of psychological trauma would accumulate in a being so young and having died as many times as she had. 
 
Mistress's Chambers


@folclor


James nodded, putting away his pencil and notepad as he stood from his chair.


"Thank you for the advice Mistress.  I'll work harder from here on.  I promise."


Then James began to walk out of the room, heading for the cafeteria.


Nishira's Office, then Hallways


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Geralt flinch or complain as the wound was stitched up, sitting with his usual gruff silence.  Once the bandaging was done he gave Nishira a polite nod, then turned and walked from the room.  Geralt then began to search the school, attempting to find the boy, who's name was Grim if he remembered correctly.  Whatever devotion Nishira put the boy through, Geralt would still make the boy perform the Trial of the Grasses.  It was necessary if he was going to give the boy proper training.
 
Father's Chambers


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


"Well... he did not drive it deep enough to kill me, incapacitate, yes.  I could not fight back, but I could still feel everything.  My one regret is that I did not retain the ability to see or think when my head was severed.  I am curious what it would look like when the nurses put me back together.  I would very much like to be alive for that."  Why'nn sighed.  "I am disappointed that each time I have died I am brought back to life.  I feel as though I shall never be allowed to go into the afterlife."  The girl looked a little glum.  "I have always aspired to be eaten by the Night Serpent.  I would prefer nonexistence.  Perhaps the afterlife would be different, but it is only recently that I have had any reason to enjoy or appreciate life."  She ran her gloved hand along the counter, watching it as it moved.  "The quickest death was when you headbutted me.  Scarlet strangled me earlier today.  That was unpleasant as well.  Hmm... I think I have died..."  Why'nn stopped, looking up to the ceiling as she thought back, counting.  "Four times.  Three of them today.  I both want to stay dead and do not wish that end.  The dying part is not frustrating.  Afterward I expected to go to the Fugue Plane but... it is only blackness.  That is also disappointing.  Does that mean we do not go back to our own worlds for our afterlives?  And ...and if that is the case, does that also mean there is no afterlife here?  Is it an eternity of darkness?"  Concern showed on her face.

Lillith passed by Geralt as she walked to the headmistress' room, giving him a wicked grin as she passed him, her fangs glistening. He would be fun to taunt sometime. She was humming as she walked, a bounce to her step.


"Ding dong, puppet master!" She called as she knocked. "Play with me." It was unclear what she meant by play. She might have been asking Nishira to spar with her, or she might have been asking her to talk to her. She might have even been asking Nishira to play a childish game of tag. Who knew? It was hard to tell with Lillith.
 
Shard


Grounds -> Woods


@Lunaria Silver


Shard glanced sidelong at Ivela before suddenly, his form wavered and he truly began to RELY on his cane as he walked. Even pausing for a moment before he shook his head and flashed her a smile, though continued to use his cane for support "More training. Though... of a kind. I believe you will find it both the most... altering, easiest and yet most difficult and wrenching training you have ever had in your young life." As Shard's cane dug into the grass with each set of steps, he grimaced internally. He truly did not mean to be so... mystical-sounding to his beloved protege, but he really could not describe what he had in mind any better. Once they entered the wooded area, Shard held up a hand, signalling the girl to stop before he walked a bit ahead and turned to face her. His hand braced on his cane as he steadied himself "Now then. Let us begin." Shard waves a hand, palm facing upwards, towards Ivela. No magic present in his movements and he simply held his smile "Tell me all about yourself Ivela. For each piece of information you give me worthy of note, to my own judgement, I shall allow you a completely truthful answer from myself on any subject, as far as I KNOW the truth to be, of course." Shard chuckled lightly, before his eyes met the girls' own and his usual bright golden eyes were now a kind of pale blue that would be reminiscent of thin chips of glacial ice.

Nishira glared at the door, allowing it to swing open.  "I don't like being interrupted, but I do have a bit of time at the moment.  So, Frank, what do you want?  And, toy, you wait your turn."  The headmistress used the degrading term for Lillith purposely.  She was frustrated with how many people chose to bother her the moment she was "free."  Of course, she wasn't free at the moment, just waiting for Geralt to return with his apprentice so she could bind the otter boy.

"Ah, but Mistress, I mean to be no bother of course." Frank said as the door was opening, striding forward confidently even though he felt a cold sweat break out across the back of his neck. He beckoned for Tetsuko, who followed more cheerfully behind him, eyes sweeping the room quickly to assess the situation before resting on Nishira if they could, "I merely intended to inform you of much good news, and to properly and formally introduce you to Tetsuko, if the opportunity was present."
 
Violet sat down in the cafe. She hummed a few soft notes to a song she used to sing back home. She didn't know where Grim was or Valian, but she was sure Grim would find his way to her soon enough. She was very much alone at the moment and she didn't care for it. She had spent way to much time being alone at this horrible place.


Scarlet walked the halls her eyes moving from side to side. She was of course on the hunt for a quick meal. Scar hadn't made many friends today, but that didn't bother her. They were all beneath her anyway. Was going through all the trouble of controlling them even worth it? No it wasn't, but she did however have some plans in store for a few select people. She grinned and brushed the hair out of her face.

@StartingOver


Geralt walked through the hallways, trying to find Grim before Nishira lost her patience.  Eventually, he passed a woman also wandering the halls as if she were looking for someone.  Geralt stopped and waved to her.  Although he hadn't seen this teacher before, she was certainly a bit too old to be a student.


"Excuse me, have you seen the young man who was in today's finals?  The otter boy with the guns and the bombs.  I need to take him to Nishira's office to be bound."
 
@TommyGun15


"Haven't seen him." Scarlet said. She stopped and eyes the man. "He's most likley trying to find his girlfriend, find her and you'll find him." She shrugged her shoulders and took a few steps past him. "You seemed so eager to want to kill that annoying thing, yet now you are bound. Why is that?" She raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me you've dropped the hero act."
 
Hallways


@StartingOver

Geralt shrugged, meeting Scarlet's gaze with his cat-like eyes.


"Who said I'm a hero?  I'm a Witcher, a professional.  I kill monsters, and people pay me.  As payment for my binding, Nishira is allowing me to make the boy a Witcher as well."


Geralt stopped and turned, offerint to shake hands.


"But where are my manners?  My name is Geralt, I teach Alchemy, and assist in other classes whenever I'm needed.  And you are?"

@folclor and then @TommyGun15 @StartingOver


Lillith's smile did not waver at the headmistress' dismissal, but if one looked closely, they would see that her eyes had a barely perceptible glow to them. 'Toy? I am a toy? I am the only person in this dull world that I know of that is not a toy. Nathan is my toy, this Frank person is a toy, that little following him is a toy, they're all toys! This puppet master is starting to annoy me. If I was fully awake, I would burn this place to the ground.'


As it was, Lillith wouldn't be fully awake until she drank the blood of her Chevalier at least once. "Well, if she doesn't want to play with me, Nathan, I shall have to leave in search of other amusements." Her tone was light, but if a person was paying enough attention they would hear a slight undertone of scorn. Had she been fully awakened she most likely would have attacked the headmistress, but while she was arrogant, she wasn't a complete idiot. So she walked the hallways in search of something entertaining, before hearing the man who attacked her earlier introducing himself to the kitten. Well, perhaps she could spar with them or something. Or kill them. Whichever came first. She was standing at the other end of the hall as them.


Her hand reached for her sword, before coming to the conclusion that she had forgotten to strap it to her side.


"Nathan, go fetch my-" She began ordering, turning around to the Chevalier that was always there. Her face grew shadowed as she looked down slightly.


This could be taken as sadness, but it was really anger. 'How dare he leave me here. How dare he! I need a new servant. But who could ever measure up to my Nathan? At least he was entertaining. Everyone else is so...boring! Annoying! Pathetic!' Her mind continued screaming out insults directed at every other person in the world. 


Lillith was far more easy to irritate than she usually was, probably because she was having a bad day, by her standards.

Ivela was both confused and alarmed by Shard's explanation, but she was far more concerned by his present state. She would ask if he was okay after she told him something rather...inconsequential. She didn't fully understand the purpose of this exercise. She really did not want to speak about her past much at all.


"I am not overly fond of talking about myself. It is not...pleasant for me." She paused, thinking about what she could tell him that would be enough for a straight answer. "Until recently, I have continuously obeyed the rules that my oldest brother and father set out for me. That included never revealing my strength, so as I did not want to be noticed, I haven't been, and this is my third year here. Basically, you will not ever notice me unless I allow you to."


Ivela didn't really know if that would count as anything, but she would ask if he was okay, anyway. Just earlier today he was fine, so she was curious as to what had happened. "Are you okay?"
 
Shard


Woods


@Lunaria Silver


Shard simply shook his head at Ivela's choice of response "Insufficient." Shard slowly approached the girl, before looking down at her with a blank, yet studious expression. The madman's normally alight features now muted, as if he were newly-dead and staring into nothingness, rather than at a person. Slowly, the hand now on his cane rested on Ivela's shoulder and he gave it a gentle squeeze "Ivela.  Simply trust me. Start with something simple, and go from there. I realize how difficult it must be to speak for yourself, however... I've an inkling a small part of you..." Shard grinned wryly ".....A shard if you will, understands the importance of why I am asking this of you. Obviously, I am anathema to the rigid, stifling rules set by your family, and yet you have accepted being my protege. Why?"
 
Hallways


@Lunaria Silver @TommyGun15


"What a shame, heros are kinda romantic no?" She said smiling. "I like this world just fine, but everyonce in awhile it wouldn't be bad to have somehing shake up the place." She shurgged. "My names Scarlet, I teach here." She gave a slight bow. She eyes Lilith and grinned. "You have a school filled to the brim with kids who have magic powers yet you cling to a ghost. Go find a new man eh." It came out more as advice then a jab.
 
Woods


@Mad Prince of Sanity


Ivela frowned as Shard walked up to her, placing his hand on her shoulder. She had rather hoped that it would be enough information, although she had a feeling it wouldn't be. He was actually freaking her out a bit at the moment. 


His question was rather difficult to answer. Well, it wasn't that it was difficult to answer, she just didn't want to. Admitting something aloud felt more...traitorous than merely thinking it. She didn't exactly know why.


Ivela looked down before she answered in a quiet, shaky voice. "I...I'm tired." Ivela looked back up at him, her face betraying anger and sorrow all at once. "I'm sick of all the rules, all the expectations! I don't want to be their perfect little assassin anymore! I've been here for so long, but I still act as if one day my family will call me back! I know they won't, what I did was unforgivable, but I keep living by their rules, I keep living like an assassin. Don't draw attention to yourself, don't make friends. You don't have the right to. Follow orders, feel nothing, never fight an enemy unless victory is certain, bear the pain, always keep the family's interests in mind. It never ends! I want to get as far away from the rules as possible. I'm sick of being my family's slave when I'll never see them again! I chose to be your protege because you are the exact opposite of them. You are madness. You can help me stop adhering to their rules."


Ivela stopped talking after that, and her face was wiped clean of emotions after a moment. What she wanted to do most right now was run.

@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith heard Scarlet's piece of advice, but did not turn to face her. She layed her hand on the wall, her eyes glowing eerily. She pushed her hand forward slightly, leaving a decent sized dent in the wall.


She removed her hand from the wall and turned to face Scarlet with a smiling face and closed eyes. "If I find anyone in this school worthy of spending eternity by my side I will certainly change them. But Nathan is not a ghost, as he is still alive. He was also never, 'my man' as I am certain he prefers the male sex." That being said, Lillith opened her eyes and walked towards the two. Her eyes were no longer glowing.


She spread both her arms out to her sides as she continued walking at a slow, non-threatening pace. "Why would I choose any one of the children here when they are here because they are broken? I would have to spend so much time fixing them. What's the point of keeping them around when they aren't even good toys?"


Lillith stopped in front of the two, resting her arms back at her sides. "Besides, even if they weren't broken, children annoy me. They are all so young...their own hubris inflates their egos. Perhaps a few of them would be worth note, but the majority of them would only irritate me."

"What makes you so sure you're fixing them?" Scarlet raised a eyebrow. "You're as broken as the rest of us." She grinned. "Call me crazy but I don't think you've accepted that." She shook her head and sighed. "The sooner you realize that the less angry you'll be at things." She looked to the wall Lilith had damaged.
 
Hallway


@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith paused, before beginning to laugh like a child. "Broken? You think I'm broken?! That's hilarious!" She continued to laugh before putting her hands on her hips, her entire face filled with mirth. "By the standards of humans, maybe. To them I'm a monster!" Again, Lillith began to giggle. "I'm just thirsty! My Universe couldn't handle the loss of human life, and it expelled me! I was doing what I was born to do, and it couldn't handle that. I'm not broken, my Universe just wasn't ready for me."


All of this was speculation, of course, but Lillith didn't know of any other reason that she could have been expelled for.


She stopped laughing and grinned. "Besides, I'm just having a bad day. Once I find some long-term entertainment, I'll calm down."

@Lunaria Silver


"Proud to a fault." Scar shook her head. "Anyway I'm not here to pick a fight with you, but you should learn some humility. One of these days reaility is going to slap you hard in the face. You don't seem ready to handle that." She shrugged not seeming to care either way.

@StartingOver @Lunaria Silver


Geralt quietly watched the two women have their cat-fight in peace, not really concerned with their petty arguments with each other.  However, he eventually decided to interject before they started fighting in the hallway.  Also, he was getting a little bit bored.


"If the two of you are going to fight, it might be a good idea to do so in the arena.  I don't think Nishira would appreciate the two of you murdering each other in the hallways."
 
Hallways


@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith giggled yet again, seeming to find Scarlet both entertaining and annoying. "If I am proud, I have reason to be. I've lived for a very long time, but I have never encountered a being that could stand against me for more than a few minutes. At least when I'm fully awake, anyway." Lillith tilted her head to the side as she smiled. "Are you certain you aren't talking about yourself, kitten? My reality isn't particularly harsh. The loss of Nathan is a major inconvenience, yes, but he can be...substituted." She seemed to be taking great panes to avoid saying replaced. "This isn't the first place I've awoken that is strange to me. I just won't have my loyal Chevalier by my side."


Lillith turned her attention to Geralt. "Fight her? In case you haven't noticed, I am unarmed!" Her smile seemed to grow wider as she spread her arms, gesturing to the fact that her person did not have any weapons. "I have no wish to fight her right now, and certainly not right here. As my Nathan used to say, this isn't the right stage!"


She continued to smile, but closed her eyes as she did so. "My my. You suddenly smell...delicious. Much better than you smelled earlier. May I have a taste?"

"I literally just said I'm not picking a fight. It seems like we aren't excatly getting rid of her anytime soon and we're more alike then either of us choose to admit." Her eyes fell onto Lilith. "I'm not scared of you nor will I ever be. I pity you bats." She leaned agiasnt the wall. "One day you'll get that this world doesn't care about you. You'll understand Nishira killed Nathan and you'll finally be ready to accept Mistress's help and embrace her, hell even learn to accept my embrace."
