Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

Location: Main Hall


Who I'm with: My students


What I'm doing: Defusing a situation


Nishira nodded and offered her hand to help him stand if needed. "I was watching the fight. I have no problem with my students fighting each other at any interval. Killings have also happened on this campus. However, both of you are new here. No one should die on their first day. Besides, the two of you seem to be worthy students." She glanced at the other students. "Those of you injured, get to the infirmary. Otherwise, continue your morning preparations."


There was sudden movement from the other students.


Location: Main Hall


Who I'm with: The other students


What I'm doing: Attempting to leave


Now she was very scared. She knew Illn was here. Calar might be and... She shivered at the thought her sister might be involved as well. Out of shock, she turned and left the Main Hall and walked directly toward the front doors.
 
Location: Main Hall


Who I'm with: The Headmistress


What I'm doing: Being polite


Brutus noted the offered hand "Thank you, but no thank you Ma'am" he stood up carefully. "I believe I will go back to morning preparations unless you need me for something."
 
Location: Main Hall


Who I'm with: Students


What I'm doing: Finishing up


"Get to it, then." She smiled, then walked over to the struggling, angry wight, took hold of him, and teleported away. She had another student to bind.


Location: Entry Hall


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Crying


Why'nn made it to the doors, opened them, and found herself staring down at the drop she'd faced the day before from the windows. 'I'm trapped...' She dropped to her knees. The tears came and she couldn't stop them. No one appeared to be around and she knew she'd have to pull herself together, but she was not able to at the moment.
 
Location: School Grounds


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Waking, drinking coffee


After the binding discussion with his new apprentice, Delrick had retired to his personal chambers and went through a series of moving meditations to relax his body and mind. After a brief personal cleaning he slept in a hammock rather then the bed. He would often change this depending on how the day had gone.


As was his routine the monk rose early and dressed and went outside for a quiet walk around the grounds, acquiring a fresh cup of coffee on his way out. He would make his way to his first class as the time drew closer.
 
Location: Entry Hall


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Recovering


After several more minutes, Why'nn was able to stop crying. 'Think. You've survived the drop before, even if only barely...' She glanced over the edge, judging the distance. 'I can see the school roof from here... That means I'm more than four stories up. If I jump correctly I can land on the roof...' It was difficult, but she could remember the general architecture of the building. 'I can make it if I climb down.'





Standing, she gathered her courage. Never would she allow herself to give up. Even if her universe had rejected her, she didn't have to stay in this place. So she jumped. Aiming correctly, she landed on the roof. The impact knocked the air out of her, and her ankle was tender from the fall, but she was out. Why'nn allowed herself a small smile.


The student then walked to the edge of the roof, grabbed on to the outcroppings, and began to climb down. It took her several minutes, but she was able to reach the ground without further injury. Her hands mostly wiped clean of the blood from contact with the building, she took care to wipe the rest on the grass. She let out a sigh of relief and looked around. 'Hah! Not trapped after all.'


As she saw no one else immediately, she began walking toward the road that led away from the school.
 
Location: School Grounds


Who I'm with: My cup of coffee


What I'm doing: Watching a little bird try and fly


The monk had been sitting with his back to a tree enjoying his hot cup of coffee, when be noticed something fall onto the roof of the school. 'What is this now?' He sat and sipped his coffee, watching the thing scrabble off the roof. 'Is that you little bird? Or do you have another in your flock?' He decided he would investigate in case there was another student attempting to flee. The teacher made no attempts to hide.


'So it is you little bird.' He followed her to see where she was heading, but would stop her before she left the grounds.
 
Location: School Grounds


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Leaving


Why'nn quickened her pace, the hair on the back of her neck standing up. She felt like something or someone was watching her. An uneasy feeling, even if it was one she was used to. Out of reflex, she looked up, almost expecting to see Father on a catwalk above. She shivered at the recollection. Maybe she really wouldn't return home, even if she had the chance.


In the few months she was here before the school year started, she could've explored this city. However, she'd spent the entire time in her dorm room, or reluctantly going to get food from the main hall. Perhaps, had she gone to this settlement, she would've understood more of her situation earlier. But she couldn't get over the feeling of something watching her. She chanced a look behind her and sighted the sensei. 'Options, options. If I run he'll probably make me stop. If I keep going, will he just keep following me? Will he make me stop if I'm just walking? Did he see me climb down? If I stop he'll almost definitely make me return with him. Godsdamn it.' They were approaching the gate that separated the school from the road down to the city. 'Does the binding work outside of the school walls?'

Who I'm with: My cup of coffee and Why'nn


What I'm doing: Watching a little bird spread her wings


He took another sip of his coffee, he slowly gained on her as he naturally walked faster then most beings his size, but he would not over take her before she reached the gate. 'Ah, little bird why do you always try and flee the cage before you are ready?' The monk watched her look around, clearly agitated by something.


He grinned when she finally looked back and spotted him. "We'll work on being aware of our surroundings." He spoke quietly into his coffee cup before taking a sip. He took advantage of her agitation and focused on his ki for a moment, long enough to blink really, and he was instantly walking beside his apprentice. "Lovely morning for a walk before class isn't it?" He spoke calmly and genuinely, the air was warm with a faint breeze coming from the azure sky.


Monk ability: Abundant Step

Who I'm with: The sensei


What I'm doing: Cursing Tymora


Her eyes were cast downward. 'If I don't acknowledge him will he go away? Godsdamn it, he mentioned class. Lady Who Smiles, I curse you. You are never on my side.' Apparently it didn't matter how fast she walked, he would catch up. She glanced, sidelong, at the fence surrounding the grounds. 'If I can get close to one of those trees I can scramble up quickly, be over the fence before he says anything...' She shifted course, making an abrupt right as they reached the gates.


"Morning, sir," she acknowledged begrudgingly. 'He's faster and stronger than I am... he's probably smarter too. I've got to find a way to get around all of that.'
 
Location: School Grounds


Who I'm with: My cup of coffee and Why'nn


What I'm doing: Walking


He kept pace with her as she shifted course, seeing where she was aiming for he shrugged. "And where will you go, once you're up the tree and over the fence?" He moved to keep between her and the fence. He looked to her and then to the school, ensuring they would have plenty of time to return to class.

Who I'm with: The sensei


What I'm doing: Processing


Why'nn stopped as soon as the words were out of his mouth. 'Am I that easy to read?' She took off, sprinting toward the gate. "Let me go!" she exclaimed. This likely wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot. She was almost to the gate, at the gate, through the gate. If she kept going would he be able to stop her? She wished she had the spell her mistress used to silence people.

What I'm doing: Watching


As she took off he considered using the binding, to yank on her leash, but that may not produce the outcome he wanted. So in the blink of an eye he was in front of her, she would collide into him. "Ms. Canthet do not run from me, I do not wish to use binding." Though he was calm his voice carried authority with it.

Who I'm with: The sensei


What I'm doing: Running


A cold wave of fear washed through her. He was in front of her. His words shook her, but she wasn't going to stop. She was so close! She could taste freedom! She changed course slightly and slid past him before using the momentum to roll back onto her feet and keep running. 'Don't listen, just don't listen! He can't make me do anything if I can't hear him! At least he chose his words poorly.'





"I am not running from you!" she panted. Part of her knew this was pointless. She'd seen her father bind people to his will before. They never succeeded in their escape attempts. Why she thought she could be different wasn't something she wanted to dwell on, but she had to try and get away.

What I'm doing: Being disappointed


With a sigh he turned and moved towards her, in a quick couple of steps he was at her side again. "You leave me no choice." As he spoke his right hand flicked out, almost as if he flinched, but in fact the edge of palm struck the base of her neck. Right where the shoulder and neck would meet, on most humans a moderate enough strike here would cause their legs to give out and cause a moment of blackout. But the sensei struck hard and channeled his ki into the strike, this would render the girl instantly unconscious. She would be be out for several minutes, long enough to return them both to the school, his chambers where he planned to have a chat with her about her new position, before classes began.


Monk Ability: Stunning Fist and non-lethal damage

What I'm doing: Being knocked out


She almost didn't know what was happening. Why'nn felt momentary pain, had the realization that she hadn't escaped, and saw the ground rushing to meet her. Hitting the ground hard, she skidded a few feet before she stopped. Rendered unconscious, she wouldn't have the choice to put up a fight. The skidding had left her with a few new scrapes, but at least it was nowhere near as bad as her escape attempt injuries the day before.

WhoI'm with: My cup of coffee and Why'nn


What I'm doing: Carrying my apprentice


Letting out a small sigh, the teacher sipped his coffee and walked the few feet to her side. Crouching next to her Delrick surveyed the student. "You have so much potential, and so much spirit." With one arm he scooped her up and over his shoulder and began walking back to the school, sipping his coffee and enjoying the lovely morning.


Soon they were back in the school and in his personal chambers. He left the door open and set her on bed, he pulled up one of the two high back wing chairs and waited for her to wake. He sat with the cup of coffee held in both hands steepled in front so that his eyes were just visible over the cup. 'How many more times will you try and escape? From what are you trying to flee?'
 
Location: Sensei's chambers


Who I'm with: The sensei and his cup of coffee


What I'm doing: Waking up


It wasn't long after she was set on the bed that she came to. She bolted upright, unnerved by the unfamiliar smells and sights. As realization dawned on her, she seemed to be a bit overcome with panic and, her wide eyes settling on him, she scrambled until her back was against the wall. 'Why am I here? Why not just go to the classroom?! This is bad. This is bad. How do I get out of here?' Her gaze scanned the room until it settled on the door. However, the sensei was between her and the rest of the room. This time she really was trapped.


He was staring at her. It wasn't predatory like the headmistress, full of false concern like Father, or perverted like her sister. No, his gaze was calm. It took a bit yet, but her body slowly relaxed, expression became less like a frightened animal, and her breaths came at a normal pace. Was he angry with her? She knew she'd disobeyed him. It was amazing to her that the binding allowed her to ignore his obvious intent, instead binding her to the letter of his words. She hoped that would be overlooked, but had a feeling that if she kept disobeying the enchantment would be strengthened. Of course, that was an assumption. That's what Father would do.


Finally, in a small voice, "Did you have to knock me out, sir?"

Above the school, there appears to be an orange police box on fire, and its hurdling towards the school like a meteor.

What I'm doing: Talking


He watched her reaction as she woke, the fear and terror in her darting eyes, looking for an escape. 'You will not find one.' As she slowly relaxed he nodded slowly, sipping his coffee. "Would you have preferred being compelled by the binding to have returned?"


He stood and moved to an end table that held what appeared to be several different serving pots with long and short spouts, as well as a variety of cups. "Would you care for something to drink?" Delrick looked to his student apprentice. "Sensei, not sir. I'm no knight or royalty." Refilling his cup as he spoke. "I'm but a teacher."
 
Location: Sensei's room


Who I'm with: The sensei


What I'm doing: Taking


"No," she murmured in response to his first question. Taking her feelings into consideration? That was quite kind of him. Even if Why'nn wouldn't outright thank him yet, she was grateful. At the second question she shook her head.


Something about his manner was strange to her. Though she had defied him he hadn't thrown her away or tried to kill her yet. That was... different. It was becoming clear that her expectations might have to shift. She considered moving to join him, but decided that might seem like an escape attempt. Instead, she moved to the edge of the bed and sat upright, her feet dangling over the edge, crossed at the ankle.





"You are of higher rank," she noted. "It would be entirely appropriate for me to call you 'sir' in-" She stopped herself. They weren't in Thay. Her gaze dropped, then she squeezed her eyes shut. If what the sensei told her last night was correct she might never see her homeland again. "Yes, sensei..."

What I'm doing: Teaching


Nodding as he returned to his chair, the hot cup in his hand. "I do out rank you, as do all staff. But you will call me sensei and address all other staff as they wish to be addressed." He paused and sipped the coffee. "All staff, to include John who is responsible for the cleanliness and maintenance of this school." 'How long will you try and push your limits.'


Delrick sat quietly for a moment observing her. "You said that your Lord would like to bring order to the chaos in the multi-verse. So why do you insist on creating chaos here?"
 
Location: Sensei's room


Who I'm with: Sensei


What I'm doing: Fidgeting


She felt the binding work within her and winced, but nodded. She didn't know who 'John' was, but that addition brought a nod as well. Why'nn continued looking at her lap as he continued. That was uncomfortable. A sinking feeling settled in the pit of her stomach. 'Have I upset Lord Jergal?' "I..." She struggled to find an answer. Finally, she settled on, "Chaos was not my intent." Finding it hard to look at him as she felt disappointment would be a proper thing for him to express currently, she clasped her hands together tightly. "I... I simply want to get away." She considered leaving it there, but she knew eventually she'd have to expand on the matter and, as he was the one who kept having to go after her, he deserved an explanation.


Taking a deep breath, she began, "I wished to return home yesterday. This place is...foreign and filled with things I do not understand. I wanted... want to go back to the catacombs. Things were simpler there." It appeared she was considering scooting away from him, but she didn't move. "Today I wished to leave because this binding is uncomfortable and..." 'Can I trust him? He chose not to use the binding when he clearly could've... I'll try.' "M-My brothers are here. They caused... one of them caused a fight in the main hall and he ..." She wanted to say it, had the words in mind, but it was difficult to force herself to speak. Of course Father knew about their true nature, Mistress Zaltya had known, all of the red wizards she'd dealt with knew. She'd never had to explain it before and she didn't know whether the sensei would understand. After almost a minute of attempts to speak, she forced the words out. "He forced my other brother and me to let the creatures inside take over. The thing that lives in my head attacked other students using my body." She wasn't crying, not even on the edge of tears, but she did feel absolutely terrible. "I had to leave. I didn-... did not want to cause more unnecessary pain."

the orange police box above the school Is still falling rather quickly towards the school. It's getting faster and faster, and it's also on fire.
 
Location: Ritual Room


Who I'm with: The half-wight student


What I'm doing: Being interrupted


Nishira sighed as the school warned her that something was approaching. Glancing up from the boy restrained to the ritual table she muttered an incantation and cast her hand upward. Above the school, a shimmering wall appeared. Whatever the incoming object, it would either shatter upon impact with the wall, or bounce off and land on school grounds. Either way, it was now out of her hair and she could go back to the binding.

What I'm Doing: Heading to first class


Connor walked down the hallway toward the meditation room, unsure how to handle things based off yesterday. He felt a mixture of scared, angry, and excited to be in the small weapons class. Angry that the teacher had been so rough on Why'nn, excited to be messing with weapons he'd never had the chance to handle, and scared for what his obvious mood swings would do to the others in the class. With a deep breath, he pushed the feelings aside and hoped that the meditation class would help him process his emotions so nothing happened during the class later in the day. When he arrived at the room where first class was, he leaned against the wall next to the door and simply waited for others to show up.
