Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

Fourth floor.


"While it would be a waste to see her die. It's not my job. She showed you kindness not many in your life have didn't she?" Scarlet giggled. "Violet would risk her life for you, and yet you don't seem to eager to do anything for her, maybe I made the right call not wanting you as my apperentince." Scarlet shook her head.

Geralt grunted as he finished dragging the cart of equipment up the stairs, wheeling it down the fourth floor hallway past Ivela and Scarlet.  He nodded to the two women as he passed, but did not speak.  Finally, he reached Nishira's office and backed the cart through the doorway, heading for the ritual room.  He nodded to Nishira as he passed.


"Alright, I've got the equipment.  Now, this is a delicate process, so I must ask that the ritual room remain undisturbed for the night.  The Trial should be over by midday tomorrow, at which point we'll know who's passed, and who's failed."


Geralt then pushed the cart into the Ritual Room and began unpacking equipment, starting with Grim.  He stuck two needles into the boy, which were connected by long plastic tube which ran the blood through a filter containing several exotic herbs.  After the blood was filtered through the herbs, it was then pumped back into Grim.  Once Geralt set Grim up with an IV, he moved on to the next student, not really waiting for all of them to completely pass out before he hooked them up.  But he did make sure they were restrained.  Thrashing around during the trial could disconnect the needles, leaving the trial unfinished.  If that happened, they would die for sure.

Ivela was seething, but she kept her face perfectly impassive. "Unlike you, I have rules to follow. I'm not even supposed to have friends. I never said I wouldn't try to calm her down. She shouldn't be trying to fight an enemy she can't beat, anyway."


Ivela stopped talking to Scarlet while shaking her head. "There are very few people I have to justify my actions to, and right now you are not one of them."


In truth Ivela really did want to help Violet, but she had already told herself she would go back to following her family's rules, her family's orders. Perhaps it would be better if she just faded into the background again.


She did want friends, however. She just couldn't escape from the rules her family set for her, so why should she even try anymore.
 
Fourth floor.


"I know about your family. Remember I can see all of your files." She grinned. It was so much fun using information like this.


"They brianwashed you more then I could ever do. Did they teach you to be ungrateful?" She folded her arms. "Did they teach you to spit in someone's face when they have shown you kindness and loyaltly? I'll give you some advice Ivela. Your aren't home anymore you're here and here friends are vauable. Violet is mad and easily controled now. I would hate if she got in her mind that you are her enemy now."

"As a matter of fact they did." Ivela snapped, letting her calm facade slip away for a moment. "You speak as if I have known Violet for years, but the truth is I only met her this morning." 


"I'm an assassin. I'm for hire. I'm not meant to have friends, I don't have the right to them. Now shut up and leave me alone." With that, Ivela turned and began to head to the nearest stairwell.

Nishira exited the secondary ritual room, a smile on her face as she saw Lillith.  "Oh, good, you made it.  I thought you were bringing a boy?  Oh well, that can be dealt with later." She chuckled.  "Now, while I may have condescendingly called you a toy, I do have a reason for you to be here.  You see, I intend for you to be a teacher and a general.  While this is all fun and games, my aim is for long term conquest of the multiverse.  Obviously, I won't be ruling each and every universe.  Even I don't have the capacity to do that.  Each being rejected from their universe will be given rule over it to do as they see fit.  Does that interest you?"

Valian's eyes went wide as he watched his brother and every other student be hooked up to this IV.  It shook him so much that he lost his concentration and became visible once more.  That was all it took for Geralt to seize him, pour the potion down his throat, strap him down, and attach the IVs to him as well.  He did not go easily into unconsciousness, but his last fleeting moments of vision before falling into darkness were of Grim convulsing on the slab.


Third Floor Hallway, then Fourth Floor Hallway


@StartingOver @Lunaria Silver


Why'nn spoke for several minutes to her tutor before she left.  At least now she knew what she was to do: focus her energy on making amends with her lord.  What she did didn't require a full scale atonement.  Her scythe and holy symbol were mended and the former she currently carried in a holder on her back while the latter was on a chain around her neck.  Once more, she carried her bag and it had the re-bound notes.  As she passed the stairway to the fourth floor, she heard two people talking.  Curiosity got the better of her and she climbed the stairs, coming to see Ivela and Scarlet speaking to one another.


"It is unwise to threaten such, Mistress.  To manipulate and make enemies where once were friends is, indeed, ill-advised.  Your house of cards may crumble should you build it on such shaky grounds."  Her tone was polite, but her manner of speech was becoming a bit more cryptic.
 
Headmistress' Office


@folclor


Lillith sighed whilst looking down slightly. She was no disappointed, mind you, just annoyed. "I did bring Valian, but he seems to have disappeared while I stepped out to speak to the kitten."


She perked up when the headmistress told her a bit about her plan. "So you are telling me I could one day return home? How wonderful! I would get to see my Nathan again."


She frowned as she thought about the bit about being a teacher. "Hmm. A teacher. I wonder what I could possibly teach any of the students here." Then, she giggled. "I'll most likely end up asleep again before your plan comes to fruition. Either way, this sounds interesting enough. I'm very interested."


Lillith would stay as long as the headmistress' plan proved to be entertaining, unless there was something else keeping her there.
 
Fourth floor


Scarlet smiled and patted Why'nn's head. "If you learn anything from me dear Why'nn it's that everything is a game. You always have to try and make everything work for you. If Ivela becomes a problem for me Violet may keep her busy." Scarlet shrugged. "You'll come to understand what I mean when I start teaching you." She smiled:

Nishira shook her head.  "This has been in the works for a century now. It will likely take a century yet and many more to come. Regardless how long you sleep, there will always be something to do when you wake."

@Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Why'nn sighed, then pouted.  "Do I not already have enough teachers? And games tend to end up in pain at the end of it. Why would I desire to you with another's life is beyond me. My job is simply to record the moment of death sometimes cause it. I do not see me learning anything from you.

Scarlet smiled. "Keep an open mind dear Why'nn." She looked down at her. "You might 


be suprised by how much you learn from me. Maybe you might even grow to like me eh?" She ruffled Why'nn's hair. "Want to come hang out in my room? We can talk about things."

===Reagan===


Ritual Room


@folclor @TommyGun15 @Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Reagan's journey to the Headmistress' office was uneventful, mostly because she seemed to be on autopilot the entire way there. Valian's looks were handily ignored when he wanted to break out of the manacles. Still, she wasn't exactly glad that she was being told to slam a potion of unknown make and lay on a slab, in reverse order. Reagan mumbled something along the lines of "never going to get a straight answer with you, huh?" and sat on the slab, ready to slam the thing and get it over with.


Then she heard a voice from nowhere calling itself Valian and telling her to free the unconscious Grim. "Great. I have officially gone insane. I'm hearing voices." The binding began to act up as Reagan stalled, her limbs feeling like they were burning. She quickly slammed the potion down, and instantly regretted it. She began heaving, sending stomach acid and whatever remained of her lunch to the floor, quickly falling unconscious on the slab, entirely unaware of the IV being hooked up.
 
Fourth Floor Hallway


@StartingOver


Why'nn cringed a bit at the hair ruffling, but this was a superior requesting her presence.  "Yes, Mistress, I shall accompany you."  Like her?  That wouldn't matter one way or the other.  "Why would you be concerned with how I feel about you?  Whether I love you, hate you, or feel apathetic should not matter in the long run."  She sighed.  "I will attempt to be open minded, Mistress."
 
Fourth floor


"Cause I have feelings Why'nn." Scarlet said. "I enjoy people that are in my company to like me. Everyone at this school is so uptight. Being friends with anyone is like pulling teeth." She grumbled clearly unhappy.  "It doesn't matter I guess, but I'll be more likley to help you and give you perks if I like you."

"I never stated you did not like me.  You stated that I would come to like you.  If you are to teach me, it does not matter.  You will have my respect, whether or not I like you."  The girl looked up.  "But you said we should go to your chambers?"  Why'nn grabbed onto Scarlet's hand.  "I do not understand why we must go there, but if we must, I will not fight you on it."
 
Headmistress' Office


@folclor


Lillith frowned at the revelation that she would be forced to do things every time she woke up. But it was most likely the only way she'd ever get home to her Nathan.


Then, she sighed before giggling. "Well, my Nathan shares my immortality, so he will survive without me. He'll know I'm alive, so he'll make sure to live for me. I only have one request." 


Lillith paused, something telling her that she shouldn't mention her plans for Valian to the headmistress. From what she had seen she was extremely possessive over every student in this school. Lillith claiming one of them as hers most likely wouldn't go over well. "If there is a way for me to see Nathan, I would like to. Obviously I cannot speak with him, but I would like to see what he is up to. Or rather, see how lost he is without me."
 
My Office


@Lunaria Silver


Nishira considered the woman's words.  "After you're bound I'll allow you to.  Come, the main ritual room is in use right now but I have a secondary one that may be useful."  The headmistress grinned.  "After the binding you may look in on your Nathan."  She led the way toward the secondary ritual room.  Hopefully the queen would follow.  After all, what was a queen to a goddess?
 
Headmistress' Office and then Secondary Ritual Room


@folclor


"I have no idea what being bound is, but if I must do this to be entertained, then so be it." Lillith said, her grin not slipping as she followed Nishira. It would be nice being able to see what Nathan was up to. She was curious to see how he amused himself when she was not present.


So she followed Nishira to the room willingly, and without concern. "So, what happens now?" She asked, her ever present grin widening slightly.
 
Secondary Ritual Room


@Lunaria Silver


Nishira grinned.  "Lay down on the slab, dear Lillith.  Lay down and relax."  She didn't put all of her teachers to sleep when she bound them and she wouldn't take that experience away from Lillith.  Honestly, she was curious how the queen would handle it.  The slab in question - cold, stone - had restraints that would snap around her appendages and waist the moment they were able.  They were strong enough to hold her, perhaps forever, but it wouldn't take that long.
 
Fourth floor


"Well I do enjoy you listening to me." Scarlet smiled and squezzed her hand. "Come come lets go have some fun." He lead Why'nn down the hall. She would have to do some changes to this girl. For starters she's fix her attitude or lack there of. Scarlet wanted someone to like her more than anuthing. She kept it hidden, but deep down she wanted a partner.

Why'nn followed. Fun? But fun... The girl thought long and hard. She'd had fun with Connor and James that night in the common room. She had fun sitting and talking with Father when things were not stressful. Lately they'd gotten to talking about things other than Thay. Why'nn only had experience in very narrow fields, so when he spoke of other lands, even other universes, she was enthralled. He was beginning to teach her the basics of cooking, as well. While Father didn't claim to be a good cook, Why'nn enjoyed what he made (though she found coffee to taste rather dirt like) and her desire to be just like him he everyday. Their discussion and the connection with her tutor after the tournament had her wondering about her actions in general. Perhaps she needed to recommit herself to the most basic tenants of her order and work back up from there. Her mind was full of such thoughts, so she stopped paying attention to her surroundings.

Lillith raised an eyebrow at Nishira before she did what she was asked to. She laid down on the table and grinned at the restraints snapping shut. She doubted that they would hold her. But then she moved her arms around and whistled at the strength of them.


"These won't break." She commented as she looked up at Nishira.


Hallway


Nobody


Ivela sighed, feeling rather guilty for not helping Violet. She also felt angry because she felt guilty. She wasn't supposed to feel guilty about anything. She had never had trouble following the rules before.


She sighed, deciding to look for Violet. So she turned around and began looking for the friend she met earlier that day.
 
Scarlet's room


Scarlet lead Why'nn in the room and smiled as she shut the door behind them.


"Go make yourself at home. Do you want anytbing to eat or drink?" She asked looking at her. "I know you'll say no, but if you really want something please say it." She said looking over at Why'nn.


@folclor


fourth floor


Violet was leaning agiasnt a wall her hood still over her head. She was confused. She felt like bad things were happening and she couldn't shake them, bad things to her love Grim. She growled and punched the wall. This was all Nishira's fault!

Nishira grinned.  "Of course not.  Why would I put you in something you can break?"  The lights began to dim and Nishira drew out a ceremonial blade as she began to chant.  The runes on the floor around the slab began to glow as the lich drew the knife along the queen's wrist.  Upon the knife's edge there was a poison that would keep Lillith from healing as quickly as she would normally.  Instead, it gave the chance for Lillith's blood to spill out and into the grooves carved in the floor, filling up the space between the runes.  Nishira's chanting grew louder.


Mistress's Room


@StartingOver


"No, thank you.  I seem to have lost my appetite recently."  She dropped her hold on Scarlet's hand and began to walk toward the couch.  However, she didn't sit down.  Instead, she stood beside it.  It wasn't clear whether she believed she wasn't allowed to sit or was simply happier standing.
 
Scarlet's room


Scarlet shrugged and walked over pouring herself a cup of water. "Why'nn this might seem like a odd question, but if you could rewire your mind,what would you change?" She took a sip and walked over sitting. "We all have things we don't like about ourselves. If you wish I could go first."

Why'nn blinked.  "Change?"  That was a very odd question.  She stood before Mistress, considering her answer.  "Well... I would make myself more devoted to my god.  And I suppose I would be less selfish..  Care more about my god and his desires in the multiverse."  It seemed her thoughts were very one-track right now.  She wanted to fix things between herself and Lord Jergal.  "And you, Mistress?  What would you change about yourself?"
