Geralt didn't say anything as Valian passed, but once the young man was on his way down the hallway he grinned.  He looked at Scarlet, then at Lilith.


"Well ladies...  I'd say he'll do just fine.  May the best hunter win.  Unless you two think you can't do it.  But you two don't strike me as the kind of girl's who'd just give up.  Right?"

Lillith sighed, still grinning. It would seem that she had very few facial expressions. Grin, smirk, smile, and scowl. 


"I would usually say that I have no need to prove myself to a lesser being." Lillith said simply before inhaling deeply. "But that boy...smells...divine. Delicious. Like a treat."


She chuckled, looking at Scarlet again. "So. What would you like to do? Either way, I must have a taste of him. Will there be any rules to this little bout?"

Forest


Nobody


Ivela was in the process of walking back to the school, clearly annoyed. After Shard had upset her and then randomly disappeared she was forced to attack several trees in order to calm herself.

No one... then some poor schmuck @folclor


Gareth, in the grand tradition of being bored out of his mind, tried to figure out what these people were talking about. However, he only heard the occasional word or laughter. There was a lot of that. Maybe someone was telling jokes? He didn't care. All he wanted to do at the moment was hurt someone. He started to mumble to himself. "First unlucky son of a bitch I see's getting a gun to their face and a foot to their chest. Why are the halls always empty when I want to start my fun?" As he turned the corner, he saw his gloriously unlucky target. Some blond kid walking away from... oh who cares? Gareth wound up and threw his rifle at the kid, chasing after his thrown weapon, a crazed smile on his face.


===Reagan===


My Room


No one


Reagan, being covered in ash, blood, and with her clothes burned in a surprisingly uncompromising fashion, decided to get to her room, shower, and put on some fresh clothes. To her, that meant shower, get the spares out of the closet, and go right on back to ignoring school uniforms until classes started back up. After that mundane sequence of events finished, Reagan thought on the battle, talking to herself. "Let's see, how could I have lived? Maybe tricking Grim and disabling him? Surprise choke from behind? Build a cannon?" Reagan continued musing to herself as she re-assembled her Elec-Wing MK. II. "I had cover, but didn't use it well. And my jacket probably gave me away, seeing as he spotted me quickly. Was he just out gunning for me from minute one?" Reagan continued to ask question after question to no one in particular as she sat down, trying to figure out how she lived as long as she did.

Lillith turned her head towards the commotion, having heard it. "Oh? It would seem somebody has started without us. Let's say that we cannot kill our target." That being said, Lillith broke into a sprint and appeared in front of Gareth, catching his weapon and smiling brightly with her eyes closed. Once again, it looked like she flickered, though a trained eye would have been able to see her move.


"Any reason you are attacking him, Kleine?" She asked him as she opened her eyes. They weren't glowing at the moment. "You really should find somebody else to play with. This child is not your toy." She couldn't help but wonder if he would stop running before crashing into her. She would probably not fall, but she wasn't in the most balanced stance in the world.

As he was walking, Valian heard something behind him.  Something was thrown and caught and that woman was speaking.  He stopped and turned to look.  Perhaps she was a new teacher?  It was possible.  He shrugged.  It wasn't out of place to see a teacher chastising a student and this group of first years was mostly out of line so he simply began walking away again.  It probably had nothing to do with him, anyway.  'I'm actually glad the Alchemy teacher's back.  I'd like to learn more from him.  Maybe I should go find Grim, though, the end of the tourney looked gruesome and he's gotta be in some sort of distress over that. Also gotta talk to him about whether he invited Why'nn to the clan.'  The boy chuckled and shook his head.  'Took him almost a whole year to tell me.  Then again, things seem to be moving faster this year...'

@StartingOver


As Lilith ran ahead Geralt clapped Scarlet on the back.


"Well, you heard the rules.  Anything goes, just don't kill him.  Now go on, Lilith's already got a head start on you.  Or are you going to prove her right?"

"Remove your hand from me please." Scarlet said."Secondly I do things for me, not you. Please refrain from telling me to do something. I'm not your pet. I don't do things for your asmusemant got it!" Her voice growing colder and snapper as her rant went on. She gave him a side eye. Her eyes now sharp, the glimmer of her predator self coming out.


"I play by my own rules." She walked over and very gently wrapped her arms around the back of Valian. She pressed her chest agianst his back and whisphered softly Into his ear.


"You should run."

Geralt rolled his eyes as, despite her protests, Scarlet went after the boy.  He tailed the group, watching Valina carfeully as Scarlet told him to run.  Oh, this could not be going better.  Valian was definitely the perfect target for their little hunt, especially since he was a friend of Grim's, whom he assumed was the boy from the finals.  He'd seen them hanging out together during the tournament after all.  If everything went according to plan, Valian would seek out his friend in hopes of gaining safetey in numbers.  Thus, by following Valian, the boy would lead Geralt straight to Grim.  As an added bonus he'd also be able to see how these two women hunted, which would be useful if he had to work with them in the future.  Or if he had to kill them, which knowing Nishira was a distinct possibility.

Acting on instinct, Valian moved to slam his right elbow into the woman's stomach.  If nothing else, his time at the academy taught him to be wary of unusual advances.  As he broke free of Scarlet's embrace, he turned and looked at her, a slight frown upon his lips.  "Excuse you, I didn't ask for a hug."  At that, he turned and continued casually on his way.  Shaking his head, he murmured, "What's with women today?" though likely not enough for anyone to hear.  "Really... you got Violet being overly concerned with Grim, little Why'nn building a spider web hut to get away from Violet, the headmistress in a tizzy..."  He heaved a heavy sigh.  "And now that rando runs up to give me a hug?  What should I run from, anyway?  Eventual teacher chastisement?  Oh, no, all fear the disapproving looks of teachers.  I doubt any of them have a scarier teacher look than Sensei or the librarian."  The boy shivered at the thought.  "Now they have some scary teacher looks.  Mistress Imalia, too, sometimes, but I honestly feel like she's too nice.  Never had the misfortune of seeing the assassination teacher in action, so no clue about her..."  He thought a bit.  Was there anyone he was forgetting?  "Ah, teachers come and go so fast here...  I'm sure I'm missing someone."  Again, he shook his head.  "But, really.  What am I supposed to be running from?  I guess I could run to something.  Like the cafeteria.  See if the others are there.  But I don't want to.  Hmm...  Don't want to deal with the owl, so no library, don't feel like meditating, Arena's closed, don't feel like jumping my way down to the ground...  I guess if something fun was happening I might run to it.  But I think the tourney was the only thing on today."


He'd made it to his third year, but he was never targeted for anything so the idea that this time might be different didn't enter his mind.  No, he honestly seemed to be wandering and not at all concerned with the others in the hallway.  And his muttering, if any of them managed to hear it, seemed more like he was thinking aloud than talking to someone who wasn't there.  Valian slipped his hands back into his pockets and kept his pace as it had been: casual and a bit meandering.

Gareth stopped in front of Lillth, looking to her, his scy-fle, her, Vallian, her, then his scy-fle again, as if trying to piece together what had just happened, his smile rapidly turning to a scowl. Or it took a minute for him to shift out of murder mode. "Why else would I do anything, mon cherri? I was bored, I wanted to hurt someone, I saw him, not that complex."  The assertion that he was her prey irritated him, but given that she was so damn fast, he wasn't going to risk broken bones and an obvious neck wound. "Great, thanks for telling me. Anything around that I can shoot, stab, punch, slash, or kick? And can you please give me my scy-fle back." Gareth stood irritated as more people showed up, or they were already there and he never noticed. He didn't care, he just wanted to hurt someone, maybe everyone, quite a bit.
 
My Chambers


@folclor


Delrick could both read the emotions in her face and body language as well as feel it through the binding. He did not like giving her the knowledge so abruptly, but better her to learn out from him and learn it now. When she would have time to cope and deal with and accept it. "You are excused." Knowing she would just as likely leave in any case. 


When her door shut the monk closed his eyes and let out a sigh. 'This will be hard on you, but you will come away stronger fit it.' Hearing her shouting in her native tongue. He moved to set a decanter of red wine along with some cheese, bread, and cured meats on the coffee table. 'As much as I would like to comfort you and stand by your side, this one thing you must face alone.' Delrick sat in his high backed chair and picked up his book and waited for Why'nn to play out her anger, though through the binding she would feel his presence and calm. She would need a steady solid rock once her crisis of faith had crested, he had seen far more experienced clerics crumble under such a crisis. But he had faith in her that she would come out stronger. 


Hallways/Cafeteria


@StartingOver


The otter stretched, rolling his neck and shoulders as he slowly walked towards the cafeteria, his neck popping loudly several times. Letting out a contented sigh and letting his body relax. "Oi! Now dats betteh." Grim moved through the hallways making his way to the cafeteria entrance, honestly surprised there weren't more students about, but he shrugged it away as he was about to enter the cafeteria, holding the door open but looking down the hallway. "Hey Bruv! " He grinned wide and waved to him, glad to see a friendly face. 
 
My Room, then Father's Chambers


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


After several minutes, Why'nn sat up, wiped her tears away, and gatered herself.  Father's calmness was something she could hold onto.  From this point on, she was an ex-cleric.  Now she wanted nothing more to do with the gods.  Instead, she would focus on her training with Father, focus on making herself better.  No more prayers, no more supplication.  Never again would she bear a Faerunian holy symbol, nor would she channel energy, cast divine spells, or be able to hurt people with her touch so easily.


When the traces of her breakdown were cleared from her face, she stepped into Father's room again and returned to her seat.  "Apologies for leaving so abruptly."  The change in the air around her would be noticeable and the holy symbol that usually hung on a chain around her neck was missing.

Valian smiled as he saw his brother and raised a hand to wave.  "I guess dying makes you ravenous, huh?" he chuckled.  "That was an insane last round.  Seriously.  I still think you would've won if the headmistress wasn't all twitchy today.  What's up with everyone?  It's like people are on high alert or something."  He shook his head.  "Anyway," at this point he reached the otter and clapped him on the shoulder, "let's go get you some food and I'll see if I can sneak ya some strong drink."

@folclor @shadowstrikr25 @TommyGun15 @Lunaria Silver


Scarlet let out a growl as she staggered back. "How dare that little punk." But she didn't give chase. She eyed Lilith and some idoit talking. He sounded like a blood crazied fool. Nothing more then a soilder. She watched Valian get away and shrugged. 


"GRIM!" Violet let out a gasp. She shot up out of her seat and ran over hugging the otter. "I missed you." She smiled up at him GALD he was okay after the fight. She had been so worried. "Now maybe things can go back to normal."

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna @folclor @StartingOver


Once he saw where Grim was, Geralt began the second half of his plan, now glad that he'd left that sled by the Arena earlier.  He got it and dragged it closer to the cafeteria, where the three students were chatting.  He waved to Grim.


"Pardon me, but could you please help me with this?  The Headmistress wants this brought to her office, and I need some help getting this up the stairs."


Whatever was beneath the massive tarp on top of the sled, it was big, and not too happy.  It was shaking and thrashing a bit beneath the tarp, making growling sounds as smoke poured from beneath the tarp.

Lillith shrugged at the boy that she had started to take a liking to before handing him back his weapon. "Did you think I would keep it?" She asked simply. "So. Go play elsewhere, kleine. We'll talk later, I'm sure. You are entertaining."


That being said, Lillith turned away from Gareth and walked towards the blonde boy. When she was near him, she realized he was by quite a few people. Normally this wouldn't be a problem. She would just have a little bit extra food to her meal. But she only had sights for his blood at the moment.


It smelled divine. He seemed distracted, yes, but she imagined he would fight back if she got too close too quickly. 


"I am sorry about that, young man." She stated simply, grin not faltering as she walked in front of him. "Some students seem to have trouble controlling themselves." She had hopes that she would easily be able to get close to him in the course of conversation. 


'Oh? You shouldn't play with your food, you know.' For a moment, it's as if she heard Nathan's voice in her head. Obviously she didn't, but it was something that he would say.


He was right, of course. She should just take what she wants, like she always had. As if this child would be able to harm her. The only problem was the other people here. Without a Chevalier, she couldn't just tear into their friend in front of them. A Chevalier would not even let them touch her if they tried to attack.


"Actually, I have demanded that the student in question, Gareth, apologize to you. He is just down the hall where I left him, and it should only take a moment. If you would please follow me? I feel he must be...humiliated if he is to learn not to attack another student." Lillith explained, nodding at him whilst continuing to smile. She sincerely hoped Gareth had already left the hall, but if he hadn't, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Well, as I'm sure you remember," Frank began, "I told you that there have been some promising results from my laboratories. Those results have returned fruit, and the first dose is on my person now." he now withdraws a vial of shimmery silver fluid, with a capped needle. When Tetsuko sees it she gets a bit squirmy, but she remains otherwise calm, especially for how she would normally act. "This contains the.. groundwork.. for further treatments. Mostly bone work, and a bit of organ strengthening. Anything that will help ease the progress into further ministrations. I await only your final approval before I seek her out."


"I helped, I helped, tell Senpai Nishira I helped Senpai Frank!" Tetsuko finally bursts out, flailing her arms out at her sides for attention.


"Yes, yes. The serum relies on a combination of Tetsuko's unique abilities and the vial you gave me previously. I won't bore you with the details, you're clearly busy, but I will give you my solemn guarantee that this is by far one of my greatest works. An injection capable of rewriting what someone is. Far from perfect, perhaps, but the progress is ground breaking for me. All thanks to you, of course." while holding a hand on Tetsuko's head, he offers a polite bow to Nishira, smiling wide. "Considering her nature and how much you have to do yet, I think I'll keep Tetsuko with me until you call on one of us for something. I fear to consider what might happen if I am not supervising the girl." He looks down at Tetsuko, whose mouth has been invisibly sewn shut. She doesn't seem to mind at all, the fact that she can't speak right now, but she's no less fidgety that she was previously.

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna @StartingOver @Lunaria Silver @TommyGun15


'Oh, great...'  Valian frowned a bit.  'Wanted to actually talk to Grim, but sounds like everyone in the universe is against me getting that to happen...'  "Honestly, no idea what you're talking about.  Students attack other students all the time, you know?  Thanks for... helping?"  He sighed.  "I mean, if you really want to have him humiliated you would've let the attack go through, but... okay.  Sure."  Shrugging, he turned to follow the strange woman.  "Let's...go?"


My Office


@Pinkalyn


"Seek who out?"  Nishira nodded.  "Yes, yes, that is a smart idea.  The girl certainly needs supervision.  It's something I want you to pursue.  An injection with the ability to rewrite would, honestly, make things much better for my future plans.  An injection like that would be so much easier than the grafts I was planning to use..."  The headmistress certainly was interested in his plans.  An injection would be painful for the person receiving, possibly much more painful than her initial plans, but what did she care for the comfort of her soldiers?

@folclor


Lillith nodded at the blonde boy before turning and walking down the hallway with him following. "Students attack each other all the time here? I was unaware." She stated. 'How annoying. I don't get to eat the students but the students can kill each other at will.' "I'm a rather new teacher here. Either way, pawns shouldn't fight among themselves."


When they had turned the corner and walked a little ways away from the other students, Lillith turned around. "Now then." She said simply before she was right in his face. "Thank you for being so polite." She placed one hand on the back of his neck, pulling him down towards her and keeping him in her grip.


Her eyes began to glow blue as she smiled at him before she leaned in towards his neck with the intent of taking a nice, long drink.

@Lunaria Silver


Valian followed but didn't immediately see the firstie.  He began to become concerned but didn't realize what was going on until it was too late.  He struggled, trying to pull away, but she was stronger than he.  As her teeth sunk into his neck his eyes went wide and his mouth opened, as if to scream.  No sound came out and this was a pain unlike he'd felt before.  A bit of his blood - a light gold in color - spilled out and down his neck, escaping Lillith's mouth.

@folclor


Lillith almost moaned as she tasted the blood. It was delectable. It was far better than anything she had ever tasted. Well, close. The blood of her Chevalier, be it Nathan or the first one who shall remain nameless, would always be her favorite. He would be able to hear and feel the blood draining from his veins.


As she continued to drink she also found herself draining his strength. She showed far less restraint while drinking his blood than she had with Geralt. His blood was addicting, she would have to drink it again sometime.


With that thought in mind, she stopped drinking before he expired, only leaving about a pint of blood in him. She dropped him and stepped back with a grin.


"You're delectable." She informed him in a captivated voice. She felt almost the same strength as she would feel if she had drank from Nathan. It felt a little bit different than drinking the blood of another Chiropteran, as with her Chevalier she was essentially returning her blood to her self.


She almost felt fully awake, which was strange as only her Chevalier should be able to completely wake her up. She would be quite a bit stronger and faster than she was before, but she would most likely have to drink from him pretty often to keep that strength.


Regardless she would never be at her full strength without a Chevalier.


"I'll see you again...when you've recovered." She said with a grin as she wiped the blood off of her face, taking the time to study it's color. "Gold? I do wonder what you are...Cibus." That would most likely end up being her nickname for him...Latin for food.
 
My Chambers


@folclor


Delrick felt the shift in her presence before she joined him. "There is no need to apologize." The shift in her demeanor, posture and the lack of her holy symbol were extremely telling. The monk motioned for her to join him. "How are you feeling?" The calm permeated the room, all of his emotions were hidden from everyone, only Nishira would be able to see that he felt for his adopted daughters sudden cut off from her divine connection. 


The plate of food lay open for her as well as an empty glass.

The otter grinned at his brother and slapped an arm around him. "E'ery time!" The otter was grinning and nodding. "Aye! T'anks bro. Yeah it were not fun. T'ink I broke meh neck, cause I dinnae remember.." It was just then that Violet hugged him tightly, his other arm wrapped around his mate. "I ain't been gone dat long. " He smiled and kissed her head. 


When two teachers approached them, the otter for the feeling it was not going to return to normal. Grim slapped his brother on the back as he walked off with the odd female teacher. 


Looking to the alchemy teacher Grim shrugged. "I dinnae see why nae?" Looking to Violet he smiled. "Le's give 'im a paw." He smiled and nodded towards Violet then the growling smoking tarp.

Scarlet watched the encounter take place. "Still gross." She mumbled. Valian wasn't her prize he never was. Lilith on the other hand. Scarlet grinned. Lilith was the one Scarlet wanted and she knew excatly how to get her.

"Sure I guess." Violet said walking over. "It appears to be very upset." She looked at the cage. "What's the likley hood it breaks out?"


she asked looking up at the teacher.

@Lunaria Silver


He could hear his own blood leaving him, feel it.  He tried to fight, but his strength was being sapped.  Eventually he could do nothing against her and was limp in her arms.  As she finally drew back, he found he had no strength in him.  Barely enough blood to keep him alive.  The light that usually surrounded him was dim, almost gone.  He could not hold his weight and, as she released her hold on him, he collapsed in a heap on the ground.  She was speaking but her voice was coming in and out.  It was all he could do to return a jab in his native language, one likely not heard before in this realm (as he had never spoken it before here).  She wouldn't understand it, no one would (except, perhaps, Sensei), but he spat an insult before he lost consciousness.


The light faded completely.  It was about this time that Lillith might notice she made a little bit of an error.  Leaving the boy with only a pint of blood was essentially sealing his fate.  If she, or someone else, didn't get the nurses soon, he would pass.  The color began to drain from his skin, his breathing so shallow it could barely be called breathing at all.


Father's Chambers


@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Why'nn calmly poured herself a glass of wine, though her emotions were running rampant.  As she set the decanter down, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.  "Angry.  Hurt.  Betrayed."  She didn't mention the fear, the certainty that he would toss her aside for something she didn't understand at some point.  After a moment, she took a drink of the wine, a somber expression upon her face.  "I must have done something to cause this.  But what one thing is bad enough to cause one who has been in service one's entire life to be cast aside so freely?"  Another drink.

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna @StartingOver


Geralt smirked when Violet asked if their cargo was going to escape.


"It's not going to escape."


Geralt yanked the tarp off of the sled, revealing not a cage, but the severed head of a giant snake, large enough to bite a man in half.  But despite the fact that the head was no longer attached to it's body, it continued the thrash in places, straining against a series of roped Geralt had used to muzzle it.  Occasionally the head would flare it's nostrils and shoot out two tiny puffs of flame, smoke bellowing from it's nose, mouth, and the open esophagus where it's head had once connected with it's neck.


"A hydra's middle head.  Cutting it off is the easy part.  Getting it onto the sled was the tricky part."

Gareth had left the hallway after checking his weapon, shrugging at Lillith's question. He was always hesitant to let people touch his weapon. To him, it was irreplaceable. Hence why he never allowed people to touch it if he could. As he walked away, three words stuck out in his mind. 'You are entertaining.' These words gave him feelings he was unaware of, at least in this instance. He'd only ever felt something similar around a hunt, or just killing prey. This feeling being isolated confused him as he walked, no longer paying much attention to his surroundings. At least until he walked straight into a wall. A groan escaped him as he decided that he must be really rusty and that his brain was confused. He continued walking down the halls, spotting someone all alone. A cruel smile formed on his face as he began the hunt again.
