Geralt ignored Scarlet's snark and instead gave Lilith a suspicious look.  He wouldn't lie, he'd bargained with blood-drinkers in the past, but he wasn't going to offer any of his blood if she was going to suck him dry.


"The potion of Black Blood has worn off.  However, I'm not exactly inclined to offer a donation considering the way you were draining students dry a few hours ago.  How can I be sure you're not going to try the same to me?"

Lillith chuckled, her eyes opening but this time glowing blue. "Did you think I was trying to intimidate you?" She asked. Her voice seemed to sound...fuller when her eyes glowed.


Her eyes stopped glowing after that little show. "I do not understand why you seem so certain that Nathan is dead when the puppet master admitted to lying about it. There is also the fact that had my only Chevalier been killed, I would have instantly been awakened from my long sleep. The fact that I only just woke up proves to me that he is still alive. I am not in denial, these are facts."


While she usually didn't choose to use logic, being such a free spirit, she occasionally did apply it. "Pity me? Kitten, out of all the broken people here you pity me? Even more than you pity your own circumstances? Pray tell, how did you come to such a place as this?"


Lillith was pouting as she turned to Geralt. "I had just woken up! If you had slept for 30 years with no food or drink, how much restraint would you show? I have no intention of draining you. It would be a waste." She did not elaborate what she meant by waste, so it was open to interpretation.

Geralt narrowed his eyes at Lilith, then pulled out a bottle of black liquid.  It swirled vilely in the container.


"This is the potion of Black Blood.  I'll allow you to feed on a small amount of my blood.  However, the second I suspect you're up to something I'll drink this, and your meal will go sour very fast."


Geralt paused before another thought occurred to him, something he could take from Lilith as payment.


"In return for my blood, I expect you to show some restraint around this school.  If I hear that you're killing students, or taking blood without consent, you and I will have words."


With that, Geralt held out his left wrist.  He wasn't going to let Lilith anywhere near his neck.

"Oh wow you know we have a club for people who can make thier eyes glow! It's going to save so much money. We don't need strobe lights at the school dances now!" She giggled. "You don't get who or what Nishira even is do you? She's a god! " Scar debated on if she wanted to waste her time explaining. "She could have just put you back to sleep and erased your memories of the time she killed Nathan, or he could have simply been willed out of this world." She shurgged.


"Either way he's not coming back."

Lillith laughed along with Scarlet. "Well, my eyes do not just glow for show." She did not say anything else about the matter, as she was now far too concerned with the fact that Geralt had offered his blood. She also chose to address Scarlet's taunts another time. She began walking towards him, ignoring his warnings. She had no intention of draining him, so she had no reason to listen to his explanation about the blood.


She grabbed his wrist, and her eyes began to glow again. This time, it was unintentional, however. Her eyes always glowed when she was about to feed. "I'd prefer your neck, you know." She stated simply before opening her mouth and latching onto his wrist.


As she drank his blood he would begin to feel a bit of his strength sap, although it wouldn't be enough to really affect him. Of course that was only because she was showing restraint.

Geralt's blood was... interesting.  While the overall taste of him was human, there was something... different about the taste.  While Geralt had definitely been born human, whatever he was now was something different.  Whatever he was, his body was powerful, more than a human's, and Lilith would probably be able to tell just from feeling his arm that Geralt was strong, strong enough to kill most men with almost trivial ease.  Then, when Geralt had lost about a pint of blood, he began to pull his arm away.  He gripped the cork of the potion bottle in his teeth, ready to pop it open and drink the contents if Lilith didn't let go.

"You're gross, this is gross." Scarlet said simply snd adverted her eyes away from the scene unfolding before her. Its not as if she was taken aback by it or anything, she just never missed s opportunity to crack a witty joke.  "On a scale of one to fucking gross this would be like a 7."

@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith was quite upset by the fact that he had already begun to pull his arm away, but she stopped anyway. She leaned up and grinned slightly. She didn't bother to wipe the blood off of her. "Your blood is better than most human's. And you are stronger than any human I've encountered. I might want to try your blood again sometime." Lillith stated, taking a step back as her glowing eyes faded. "You...might be a good fit." She stated before leaning her head back with another giggle.


"Well then. We'll have to bargain another time. I feel much better now." She stated. That bit of strength that she had taken from him was certainly helpful, although it certainly wouldn't be enough. No, Lillith required much more blood than that on a daily basis. Normally she had Nathan to feed off of, but not anymore.


Her eyes fixed back on Scarlet with an amused smirk.

Geralt put the black blood back onto his belt and pulled out a flask of yellow liquid, the bite wound closing as Geralt drank it.  he put the empty flask back in his bag and rolled his eyes as Lilith stated her desire to drink more of his blood at a later date.


"Perhaps, if it'll keep you from attacking more students.  I prefer not to have to kill things I'm not being paid to."  Geralt diplomatically decided to leave out the fact that he only hated unnecessary killing because that was a good way to lose contracts that might've been out on the creature in question.  No one liked to pay the Witcher if they thought they could get away with it.


Geralt turned his head towards Scarlet, noticing an odd smell.  Most people wouldn't be able to pick it up, but Geralt was a Witcher, and his senses were far sharper than most's.


"As for you..."  He said to her, closing his eyes and inhaling deeply through his nose,  "You don't smell right.  You're definitely human, but there's something off."  Geralt inhaled through his nose a few more times.  "Just an underlying thing; sort of reminds me of a succubus.  I mean, you're not a succubus obviously, but something about you is similar to one.  You feed off of other people's energy, don't you?"

@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith gasped in mock surprise. "Oh, so that's what she meant by feeding. Energy?" Lillith began to laugh. "Now that is something I am familiar with. You should try blood sometime, you can draw much more from that." She informed her in a tone that seemed to say she was actually offering advice. "Not that I know anything about your method."


That being said, she turned her head away. "I'm bored again."

@Lunaria Silver @TommyGun15


"Ding ding ding!" Scarlet said smiling. "I feed off of energy. Feeding during sex is the best way for me, but all things considered the partern doesn't usually last very long." She gave a wink. "But yes I'm human more or less." Her eyes meet Lilith's. "See Batty, we're alike after all."

Geralt raised his eyebrow, somewhat happy that the two women could find some common ground.  Even if that common ground was their status as predators.


"You know, since the two of you feed off of people, but take different things from them, it might be smart for the two of you to hunt together.  Scarlet could draw people in, then while they're distracted by her feeding off of them, Lilith could come in and take her share.  Provided you two don't kill anyone, I'll stay out of your way.  Everyone's got to eat after all.  As long as no one's getting killed, there's really no point begrudging you two your meals."
 
Hallways


@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith scowled at Geralt's suggestion. "If I wanted to hunt, I would not require help. My skills as a huntress have not dulled, even if I haven't bothered with them for a while." She looked up at the ceiling again. "It's a shame it's been so long since I had something fun to hunt."


Lillith said nothing about not killing anyone at the moment, because she would most likely end up killing at least a few people during her stay here.

"I'm very capable of handling my own thank you." Scarlet said. "Unlike bats over there I'm actually alurring. " she grinned. "Calling every female you see "kitten" comes off very pedophiley." She took a second to think if that was even a word before shurgging. "Besides you spend your alone time talking to a person who clearly doesn't exist in this school. So I'm sure your really great at getting prey to actually come to you."

@StartingOver @Lunaria Silver


Geralt sighed as the two women proceeded to begin firing insults at each other.  So much for trying to help them get along.  He decided it might be best to change the subject.  He spoke to Scarlet in a neutral tone.


"So, you prefer to feed through sex?  Assuming this is something Nishira is aware of, have you been feeding off of students in that way, or are you from one of those worlds where that sort of thing is taboo.  I won't judge, personally in my world boys are considered men at 15, and it isn't uncommon for boys to have their first time at 13 or 14.  I suppose I'm just trying to get a sense of what sort of person you are, in a moral sense."

@TommyGun15


"I feed through skin to skin contact." Scarlet said. "Generally both parties are nude during sex so it maximizes the amount I can feed at the time. In other words I don't need to have sex to feed, but it's the best way I can feed." She gave a nod. "But I can feed by simply holding your hand."

@StartingOver @Lunaria Silver


Geralt nodded, fairly glad he almost always wore a pair of gloves.


"Hmm, interesting.  Well, I've got to get going.  Just one last time, are you sure neither of you have seen the 3rd year student who almost won the tournament?  Nishira wants him in her office as soon as possible, and from the look on her face when I last saw her, she's getting irritated.  I'd rather not have to deal with her when she's in a foul mood."

@StartingOver @TommyGun15


Lillith chuckled as she grinned at her. "I don't call every female that I meet kitten, just you. It's your nickname. I give everyone a nickname." 


At her comments about her getting her prey to come to her, Lillith's grin widened. "My prey come to me? Why would the cat lie in wait for the mouse? I don't need their permission. I don't need your help to hunt. You do not hunt. You manipulate. There is a difference."


Lillith giggled again. "The otter boy? No I haven't bothered looking. Why would I?"

Gareth didn't quite care that Why'nn was, as she stated, 'taken'. He was more irritated that she wasn't even remotely scared of him. "Damn. Between her and the guy that ran, I think  I'm not as terror inducing." Gareth walked down the hallways, scratching at his new neck wound, groaning at the lack of people in his general area to hurt. "Stupid no kill rule, stopping me from having my fun." Gareth continued walking the halls until he heard the sounds of conversation, walking towards it in the hopes of finding someone to hurt.
 
My Office


@Pinkalyn


Nishira raised an eyebrow.  "Hello, Tetsuko."  She turned her attention back to Frank.  "I assume you know I'm doing quite a lot of bindings this afternoon and evening.  But good news is always welcome.  What's the news?"  The lich crossed her arms and waited.  Her patience wasn't wearing as thin considering she actually liked Frank, it was more that she wanted her business concluded quickly.  In attempting to order her universe she'd accidentally ejected Shard.  Chaos was still something to be confronted but she was all right for now.
 
My Chambers


@folclor


Delrick nodded as he listened intently, still holding his cup on both hands. "Well, it won't be the same as seeing it first hand, but I can show you the events as they happened after you were incapacitated, as you say." Her knowledge of death and the afterlife must naturally lead her to these lines of thought, but given she was of the Lord Jergal's flock it was only natural. Delrick chuckled a little at her mentioning of his headbutt to her, but it quickly ended in curious silence as Why'nn mentioned Scarlett strangling her. "I trust there was a well founded reason for anther teacher to kill my apprentice." He would make a note to talk with Scarlett about that later. The monk had no easy answer or a way to soften the blow he know l knew was coming for her. "No. There is no way for a rejected soul to return to the afterlife of the realm that banished them. And there is no afterlife here, as you currently understand it." The monk understood what he had said, but he had been truthful when he had said he would not withhold knowledge from her. He carefully watched her, ready to stop any self-destructive behaviour. 


Dorm room. Then hallways


Grim finally emerged from the shower feeling refreshed, but still drained. He threw on some lose clothes and debated the merits of taking a quick nap or looking for his family. 


Eventually the desire to be with his family won out. Leaving behind the weapons he had grown accustomed to carrying daily, the otter stepped into the hallway and started for the cafeteria.

Father's Chambers


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Why'nn watched him as he spoke, a slight smile in place.  She nodded as she listened.  The smile faltered as he stated a rejected soul could not be in its home realm's afterlife.  Her mind began to race.  "Oh?  So... no afterlife.  I will... never see...  I... I see."  She nodded again.  Rejected from the afterlife as well?  It wasn't that she was after a reward, but she'd spent her whole life serving her god... and he would cast her aside?  He was her father figure before she came here.  He was the one thing that had stopped her from committing suicide before coming to the academy.  The girl's smile faded.


"Please excuse me, Father."  She stood, bowed, and went to her room, closing the door behind her.  Once she was alone, she dumped the contents of her bag of holding on her bed, found the book she'd been working on for the better part of the year, and began tearing the pages out.  Once she destroyed the book, she tossed the binding aside, took her holy symbol, and crushed it with her cybernetic arm.  The twisted, malformed clump of iron fell to the ground.  Next, she took the scythe that bore the Forgotten One's symbol and snapped it in half, then broke the blade in two and threw it across the room.


Her chest was heaving, the tears didn't fall.  It was that point that she began screaming in Thayan.  "I WORSHIPED YOU!  I prayed to you every night!  Every morning!  Every chance I got, even once I was sent here!  I served you!  I did all I could for you!  I loved you, I told everyone about you.  I lived for you.  Why?  What did I do for you to throw me aside?"  Why'nn collapsed onto the floor.  "I hate you," she whispered.


Regardless of anything else, the girl felt crushed under the rejection. She wanted to cry and, gently, she did.  "I do not want to be against you. I do not want to hate you, but you cast me aside. What have I done that was so egregious that you turned your back on me? Did I blaspheme? Did I act against you in a way I do not understand? Please... I gave you my life and you do not care. Lord Jergal, you have always been the one I want to serve. It is painful. Since I was sent to this place, I have felt an emptiness within me but I assumed it had to do with being away from Bezantur. You have never spoken directly to me but I was able to use your touch, was able to channel your divine energy. I thought I was pleasing you... Now I find out you want nothing to do with me. You would throw me away like everyone else. This hurts more than any betrayal before. You have ruined my ability to trust."


Now the doubt set in. If her god abandoned her, who was to say Father wouldn't soon? Who was to say James wouldn't also toss her aside? At that moment, she made it her mission to make sure that at least those two would keep her.

"That's a funny way of saying I'm the better Hunter than you." Scarlet said giving a sneer. "If you want s first class lesson please come hunt with me. We don't want each other's help, but I bet you want to show me up don't you?"

@StartingOver @Lunaria Silver


Geralt rolled his eyes as the two girls went right back to making jabs at each other.  So much for trying to get them to work together.  Well fine then, maybe if they settles this argument they'd at least stop bickering.


"If you both think you're such great hunters, why don't the two of you go and see who's better?  Pick out some random student and see which one of you can catch and feed off of them first.  The way I see it, if one of you is clearly better than the other, you'll have no problem catching a student first."
 
Hallways


No one, then @TommyGun15 @Lunaria Silver @StartingOver


Valian shoved his hands in his pockets.  He'd have to figure out what to do now.  After the tourney was over, he lost Violet in the crowd, but honestly didn't feel like going to the cafeteria.  He thought about heading for the library, but didn't want to deal with the owl.  The Arena was currently closed, he didn't use the range, and he didn't want to leave the school, either.  Perhaps he could find Grim, but that, as well, had him less than interested.  Ahead, he saw Geralt and two women, one of which he'd run into before.  The one who'd been bothering Why'nn and the boytoy.  Well, he had to walk by them anyway.  He nodded to all three.


"Good to see you back, sir!"  The boy glanced to Lillith.  "Sorry I wasn't any help earlier."  He simply nodded to the other woman, as he knew nothing of her, and began to walk past.  He still wasn't sure where he was going, but wandering would keep his mind occupied for now.
