Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

Hallway and then Infirmary


@folclor


Lillith frowned at what she assumed was an insult before realizing that she had drank too much. 'Hmm. The boy is a bit more like a human than I thought.' That was concerning. She didn't want him to die, but she didn't want to change him into a Chevalier either, which would save him. Well. She assumed that the nurses could save him, since the otter boy was somehow still alive.


'What to do? What to do...' She wondered before sighing and picking him up. She remembered where the infirmary was, so she would take him there. He was a tiny bit heavier than she had expected, but it was nothing she couldn't handle. She had been known to pick up statues to throw at people sometimes.


Holding the slowly dying boy in her arms she dashed past the otter boy, his girlfriend, and Geralt. As she passed by them they would feel a rush of air, even though it was unlikely that they would see anything more than a blur with how quickly she was moving.


It didn't take her particularly long before she opened the door to the infirmary and set the blonde boy down on a cot. The nurses were strange, and by no means appetizing, but she wasn't concerned by them as they set to work on the boy.


Lillith walked out the door without a word of explanation as to what had happened to the boy, walking out of the infirmary. She did hope that they could save him. If not, she would regret her decision not to turn him.
 
Hallway


@shadowstrikr25


James walked down the hallway, thinking about what Imalia had said to him.  While he hadn't like all of the advice she'd given him, he understood that she was only looking out for him.  Still, the words he'd read in that book Nishira gave him swirled in his  head, and where Imalia told him that concentration was key, the book had it's own suggestions about how to achieve power.  Eventually, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone running into a wall nearby.  He looked over at the boy, who'd recovered and started walking towards him.


"Hey...  Are you alright?"


As the boy got closer, James saw a threatening smile appear on his face.  Getting the feeling that the boy would try something, James created a shield barrier around himself for protection.
 
Infirmary


It wasn't too long before he was able to regain consciousness.  The glow began to return to him and, in the matter of a few minutes (as returning blood to a person wasn't that hard for the nurses), he was able to walk out.  His head pounded and he glared about the hallway, wondering if the woman was about.  He wouldn't feel safe as long as she was.  Perhaps he could talk to Sensei about ways to protect himself?  Either that, or the Alchemy teacher.  In all, it wasn't the worst outcome.  Valian sighed and shook his head.  This was the most attention he'd gotten in his three years here, so perhaps he should be thankful?  Part of him wanted to be forgotten again, though.

Gareth leveled his rifle at James and pulled the trigger, unleashing a five-round burst. As the shots were blocked by the shield, he tilted his head, looking confused. He fired another burst, with the same result. He stalked up to the shield, pressing on it and finding it impenetrable. "Huh... that's new." Gareth walked past from James, scratching his chin. If he was going to go around hunting whoever he wanted, he needed to try a different approach. Clearly his usual intimidation was not working. He needed to be sneaky.

@shadowstrikr25

James glared at Gareth as he looked over his shield, irritated that he'd been attacked out of nowhere by someone he'd never met before.James reached out with his Will and grabbed hold of Gareth, who would feel something similar to a pair of hands grabbing the sides of his head and turning him to look James in the eye.  James glared at Gerath.


"Alright, tell me who you are and why you tried to attack me, or I'll make your head spin.  Literally."

Lillith chuckled as she walked through the hallways, quite satisfied with the outcome. The boy would live, she was sure. She was already missing the taste of his blood. It was something that she wouldn't be able to only have once.


As she walked, she came upon two students. One of them was the boy following Imalia around, and the other one was Gareth.


"What do you think Nathan? Should I watch or stop them?" She asked quietly from where she hid behind a corner. She decided to watch the two. She wanted to see what the murderous child was capable of.

Ivela finally made it back into the school, her face impassive. She had decided that Shard's disappearance was a sign that she still needed to obey her family's rules. She was straying too far from the path that had been set out for her. Still, she wouldn't adhere to all the rules.


She sighed as she wandered through the halls of the school aimlessly, trying to clear her mind.

"Ohhhhhhh." Violet said putting her hands in her hips. "What a nasty fucker." She sighed and walked over leaning down in front of it. "Shut it!" She took a balled fist and raised it up over her head. It began to glow as she brought it down hard on the snakes head through the bars on the top of the cage. "Dumb snake!"

@TommyGun15 @Lunaria Silver


Gareth scowled at the boy who was the first to be eliminated in the final round. He once again leveled his rifle at him, aiming for the knees. "I am Gareth. I was bored, I like hurting people, you were there, you get the picture." As much as Gareth wanted to shoot James, the Headmistress told him to make one bleed, and he made one bleed. And he was fresh out of restraint. "Now let me go. I'll just fuck off to my little corner and you can just ignore the screams." He was entirely unaware that Lillith was watching him, and knew that in this situation, James had him in a corner.

@shadowstrikr25 @Lunaria Silver


James glared at Gareth, his fists clenched in anger.  He'd had enough of getting attacked for today, and just wanted it to stop.  He looked Gareth in the eye.


"Oh, I get the picture all right."


James raised his left hand as if he was lifting something into the air, Gareth rising off of the ground as he did so.  Then he balled his right hand into a fist and punched at Gareth, hitting him with a kinetic blast that wouldn't kill him, but would send the would-be attacker bouncing down the hallway like a rag-doll.


James didn't pay attention to whether or not Gareth got back up after that.  He just turned and began walking the other way down the hall, a barrier protecting his back in case Gareth tried to shoot him again.

Lillith couldn't help but be disappointed by Gareth backing down, but at least he had enough sense to know when he was beat. She did hate it when brats didn't know their place. The murderous child had potential, at least. With proper training, he could be a force of destruction. 


She was annoyed at the fact that Imalia's little follower sent Gareth flying down the hallway. While she could have caught him, she didn't bother. A little pain was good for him.


"That was rather rude, boy." Lillith stated as she stepped out from behind the wall. "Though I commend you on showing no mercy." She said nothing else to the boy as she turned to face Gareth, waiting for him to stand up.

Gareth, having been forced to overload his quirk, been forced to follow rules he didn't care for, and had no luck even injuring his last two targets, had officially run out of fucks to give. "Great, now can you..." He felt himself being lifted off the ground. "... so." He was then sent flying by James blast, bouncing five times before coming to a stop, each bounce punctuated by a crack, or a pop. Curiously, Gareth didn't scream in pain as most people would. He had, however, managed to break a few ribs and dislocate his shoulder, which he set about relocating with a pained hiss as the joint popped back into place.


As he rose up to head to the infirmary, he saw Lillith. For all he knew, she was here to kill him. "Let me guess, you saw that entire shit-show, didn't you?" He fully expected Lillith to lay into him, finishing him off and ending the worst hunting day of his life.

Lillith giggled at him. "No, I did not see it all, but I saw most of it." She answered him simply. She could see that he was quite upset, and wanted to try to give him some confidence back. There was no entertainment in a broken toy.


"You look disappointed in yourself. Do not be. You are still young, and you will not always win. Understand?" She encouraged him. "You have not grown into your abilities yet. Right now, you have untapped potential. Give it time." The way she spoke did not sound encouraging, it actually sounded rather harsh. Less like she was trying to reassure him and more like she was scolding him for despairing.


"In this school there are children who have more training than you, and who have different abilities than you." At least from what she had seen. "It is unlikely that you would even stand a chance against them in your present state. With time and training, you could wreak havoc, leaving chaos wherever you go. Doesn't that sound exciting?" 


Throughout her entire speech she was grinning at the boy.

Delrick leaned forward as he listened, he could tell she was hiding more then she was telling, but he would let her keep her secret until she choose to reveal it. Pouring himself a glass the monk sipped it before replying. "Being rejected by your realm is not something a single act can cause, and is not the fault of the being who is rejected." Delrick looked to Why'nn and rested his elbows on his knees. "Again this is no fault of your's. Even gods have limits to their powers.  Lord Jergal did not cast you aside, there is very literally nothing he can do to allow you to return to the realm that we came from, even in the afterlife." He would watch and talk with her for as long as he could, she would be able to eat and drink as much as she wanted. The warlock knew sometimes people just needed to do that.

Grim nodded and let out a low whistle of admiration and being impressed. "Dos are very 'ard te kill, if I remember rightly. Wot's da 'eadmistress want wit a  'ead?" Snickering a little at what he thought was mildly humorous word play, as he gripped the carts handle bar. Ready to follow the alchemy teacher to help deliver the head. 


He thought he saw, very briefly, a blur that looked like that odd women and Valian, but he wasn't sure if it was them or his stomach playing tricks on him.

Geralt explained as they moved the cart.


"Well, technically this head isn't dead.  The middle head of a hydra is immortal.  That's wh I've muzzled it, because otherwise it'd be snapping at everything in reach.  As for why the Headmistress wanted it, I think it was for potion ingredients and spell componenets.  Not that it matters, she paid me to get the head, so I got it."


Geralt gripped his side of the cart as they approached the stairs.


"Alright, here we go.  Don't let the cart tip, this sonavabitch is hard enough to lift as it is."

"I got this." Violet smiled and rolled up her sleeves. She took a second as her body was englufed in goldish brown light. She winked at her grim and put her hands on the side of sled lifttig it with ease. "He can't die, good hear that mr snake. I can beat on you all I want if you cause trouble."

@Lunaria Silver


Gareth looked at Lillith, understanding her words and disappointment in his failure to properly hunt. The grin threw him off a bit, causing him to wonder if this was how other people felt when he went kill crazy. Still, he wasn't dead yet. Silver linings. Her final statement brought a grin to his face as he thought of all the death he could bring with the proper training. "It sounds... excellent, mon cheri. My hunting needs work. I'll need to attack from the shadows to do anything here. Apparently I'm not as terrifying as I thought I was." He did always relish the thought of bringing about large scale death, and by what she was saying, she could help him.

Why'nn's eyes went wide.  "H-he did not?  Gods, I must atone."  The girl hastily set her drink down and jumped off the stool.  This time her bow was rather sloppy and she sprinted to her room, forgetting to close her door behind her.  Hurriedly, she gathered up the pages she'd ripped from the book, making sure they were in order.  Once she had them all together, she began trying to mend her scythe, but did not know how without spellcraft.


"Sorry," she murmured continuously under her breath.  Her actions were desperate and the tears had returned.  It was clear she only severed her ties with her god because of the perceived rejection from him.  It hadn't occurred to her that, had he not wanted her, he would've removed his favor from her.

Lillith chuckled at his expression. "Kleine, you are still a cub. The scariest thing about you at the moment is what you will one day become. Hopefully." Lillith continued to grin at him. "Your hunting technique will only work on those weaker than yourself. Attacking from the shadows is dull, and boring, but effective. At your current state, ambushes will work well for you."


She laughed for a moment. "When hunting a creature stronger than you, surprise is your ally. You have to strategize. The only time you can run straight at your prey is if you can easily kill them."


She then decided she was done giving any semblance of advice. "Either way, you still entertain me. For now, I'll consider you worth my time. Try not to become dull, will you?"

Geralt raised an eyebrow as Violet lifted the cart.  He had to admit, that was mildly impressive.  He grabbed his end of the cart and began to lift.


"Okay, Grim, come help me with this end.  Violet, don't start beating on the Hydra.  It's had a bad enough day already, and Nishira will be pissed if it's damaged when I bring it to her."


With the help of the students, they were quickly able to get the cart up the stairs.


"Thanks for the help.  Could you do me a favor and go hold the door to Nishira's office open?"

The monk raised an eyebrow at the curious rapid flip in the other emotional direction. His reflexes swiftly and smoothly moved to catch the cup before it spilled. Gracefully he stood and followed Why'nn to her room and watched as she gathered her sundered items. "Little bird, all of these items can be mended." He knelt next to her. "And so can you. You never lost your connection to him." The monk's hand resting on her shoulder. 


Hallway/Nishira's office


@TommyGun15 @StartingOver 


The otter nodded in recognition of Violets power and shrugged to Geralt, helping to carry the cart up stairs. 


Once at the door the otter moved to hold the door and wave the cart through in an overly dramatic fashion. Grinning the whole time.

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Why'nn looked up, tears still welling in her eyes.  "But I broke them!  I did this... I told him I hated him, but I do not, I did not, I was angry!  I do not hate him!  I must... I must atone!  Please, how do I contact the instructor in Faerun?  I know she can help me atone!"  Her lower lip trembled.  "How do I fix them?"  At least none of the pages were actually torn where it was important.
 
Nishira's Office


@folclor @Grim Wraithe Stjerna @StartingOver


With Violet's help, Geralt pulled the cart through the door of Nishira's office, turning it so she could get a good look at the thrashing, smoking hydra head tied to the cart.  Geralt set the cart down and leaned against it, seemingly not bothered by the angry head that was trying to bite him and breath fire on him.


"Well Nishira, I brought what you asked.  I assume our usual arrangement is still in place?"

@Lunaria Silver


Gareth understood the gist of what Lillith said to him. Mostly because he had just said it. Still, she was higher on the food chain. And could still kill him if she wanted to. "Thanks for the tips, mon cheri. I'll keep that in mind next time." Still, her words had the strange air of... fondness? Like she actually enjoyed his company to some degree. He shrugged it off as his brain being weird, then replied to her rhetorical question. "I'll do my best, until hunting itself becomes boring." He began walking slowly to the infirmary, his steps occasionally punctuated by a hiss of pain.

@shadowstrikr25


Lillith giggled as he walked away, obviously in pain from the boy's attack. She would have helped him, but as she had said before pain would be good for him. When she was speaking before, she was more so agreeing with what he had said and trying to expand on it.


"It will be a long time for you before hunting becomes boring." Lillith stated as she turned and walked down the other end of the hallway while humming. "You aren't here to give me what I want anymore, Nathan. I'll have to get it myself." She didn't care to elaborate on what she meant by that as she was not speaking to anyone who was actually present at the moment. At the moment, however, she decided to wait.

Nishira grinned as the head arrived.  "Wonderful."  She snapped her fingers, calling two previously hidden undead giants out of the shadows to take the head from the Witcher and students, lifting it with relative ease and carrying it into another room on the fourth floor.  "Of course our usual arrangement is in place.  That hasn't changed and it won't.  What, were you worried?"  The lich chuckled.  "You shouldn't be.  It's unbecoming.  But I also see you've brought a couple students.  Violet, you'll need to leave, but I need to talk to Grim about the tourney.  I know I ended it prematurely, but I'm going to extend the prize to him and Miss Deimos.  I just need to talk to him about which part he wants first.  And this can't involve you, Violet, you'll have to leave."
