Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

The Hallways


@shadowstrikr25 @folclor


Lillith giggled at his excitement. "Nothing so morbid. No death involved."


She giggled again before she chose to elaborate. She held her finger up beside her face with a devious smile.


"I am suggesting a game of hide and seek, Kleine. A simple, childish game." Her hand dropped back to the side.


"With certain...tweaks."

@Lunaria Silver @folclor


Gareth frowned a little at the prospect of not killing things. Or at least hurting them. Still, she had him curious, and itching for something interesting. Her hand placement and expression hinted that what she was suggesting was far from ordinary. He stashed his knives as he thought on it. There was one obvious problem for him, very achingly obvious. "What kind of tweaks?" Gareth was hoping they were the fun kind of tweaks instead of something boring where he could only hide in certain places.

@shadowstrikr25 @folclor


Lillith giggled at his question. She couldn't imagine that he would possibly refuse her request.


Who would, after all? He had to be honored that she was even taking an interest in him.


"Well, standard hiding. First, I will hide, and you will seek. If you can find me, you must be able to land a single blow on me."


She smirked, internally hoping that he would surprise her. "Then, you will hide, and I will seek. If I cannot find you in 2 minutes time, then you pass."


She giggled before continuing. The rules are simple. When I hide, you will count to 30. When you hide, I will wait 2 minutes for you to hide. Then you will evade me for an additional two minutes. I cannot move from my spot once I find it. You, however, may move as many times as you wish within those two minutes in order to evade me."


She smirked at him before using her hand to flip her hair back, for dramatic effect.


"Interested in playing?"

Gareth mulled over her idea of tweaks. She may need to be stationary, but that didn't mean she couldn't dodge. And then there was blondie. He had no idea why he was just standing there. It irritated him slightly. Still, he wanted something entertaining to do today. This seemed good enough, hide and seek with someone above him on the food chain. He shrugged as he crossed his arms. "Fuck it, let's go. You've got til I count to thirty." He just kept staring at her, unblinking, waiting for her to move.

Lillith smirked again as she nodded at him. "Well then. Let the game begin."


Lillith giggled before she was suddenly gone. She had taken off from her position in front of Gereth and was now running down the hallway.


She hadn't really thought about where she would hide before this, nor had she ever had much of an inkling to explore the school.


But she did vaguely recall Valian climbing up a ladder to somewhere before he became her chevalier. So she ran to the passage that led to the school's roof and climbed up the ladder.


She opened the trap door and stepped out onto the roof with a giggle.


She closed the trap door behind her and sat down behind the spot where it opened up, so if Gareth climbed up onto the roof he wouldn't see her right away.


Lillith slowed her breathing to the point where it was almost not present, and stopped moving completely.

Nishira looked over the for children and detached herself from Delrick. "While the rest of you go, gather your things, I need to speak to Mr Shell." That appearance would not work where he was going. Unfortunate that this was a stealth mission. It'd be hilarious to see the reactions of all others.


Roof


@Lunaria Silver


In seconds the Chevalier was at his Queen's side. "I don't think he'll be able to land a hit on you. Am I allowed to intervene?" Might as well ask. After all, he wouldn't want to disobey his Queen. He had taken her words to heart, but he also began to wonder at what she said when he was first created. He could go mad. If he went mad she wouldn't want him anymore. He already had no one outside of her, do the idea of her casting him away as well was terrible.

Grim smiled to James one last time, again giving him a hearty smack on the shoulder. Nodding to Reagan as she started to depart. In a whisper only she would be able to hear as he leaned in to nudge her on her way out. "If you can maybe sneak a couple black powder bombs in with the smokes." 


The augmented otter stepped over to the headmistress, since his change he got less of the uneasy feeling he used to get from the undead. "Yes headmistress."


Delrick smiled and watched at the students departed to go about their tasks of getting ready for the mission and immediate departure. He drank his coffee as he stood back and contemplated the best way to remain in contact with Why'nn during the mission.

@Lunaria Silver @folclor ...wait, they're gone now.


Gareth waited for 30 seconds, give or take, standing still and watching both Lillith and blondie disappear down the hallway. 'Alright... where does a top predator like hiding? Top... The roof?' Gareth shrugged as his internal timer finished counting down. "Fuck it, worth a try." Gareth walked through the hallways, walking out into the courtyard, and heading towards the forest. He quickly climbed into a tree, grabbed onto his rifle, and began to scan the roof for any sign of Lillith. Spotting what he was pretty sure was his target, he took aim and fired.
 
Rooftop 


@folclor and then @shadowstrikr25


Lillith shook her head at her chevalier, but did not speak. Speaking would disrupt her current breathingbg pattern, and she wanted to be as quiet as possible.


She placed one finger up to her mouth in a shushing motion, signaling her Chevalier to be quiet. Of course, that silence was shattered by a gunshot ringing out. Lillith's eyes widened as her head snapped back to look at the forest.


Her keen eyesight picked up Gareth in a tree as she swiftly dropped down so that the bullet flew above her.


She then stood up and stared at him.


"I didn't expect him to find me so quickly. But this wasn't a particularly well hidden spot." She commented.

Nishira looked over the otter before nodding her head and handing him a potion. It was a yellow-green but relatively clear. "Drink," she commanded. "We'll have to do a permanency spell after this." She was, honestly, curious what this boy would turn into. She figured a potion was easier than attempting to make a spell stick, though she was glad he retained his status as a magical void.


Roof


@Lunaria Silver @shadowstrikr25


The Chevalier growled, glaring at Gareth. He knew his Queen had initiated this game, but it went against everything in him to stand aside and let this lesser being attempt to hurt her. "My Queen, either let me retaliate or order me to leave, please. I cannot stand this... child attempting to hurt you. I know you started this, but every fiber of my being cries out to destroy him."
 
Roof


@folclor @shadowstrikr25


Lillith giggled as she turned her attention to her enraged Chevalier.


"Come now. He is lesser than you and I. Even if he does hit me, he won't be able to kill me. But, if you really cannot restrain yourself as per my request, you may leave."


That being said, she smiled at him. "I can understand why you find it difficult to watch. I imagine your rage is similiar to mine when humans tried to kill my sister."


She, again, giggled. "Back before I started hunting her, at least."


She meant in the sense of lesser beings trying to harm one of her own, somebody that she actually cared about.


Once upon a time Lillith and her sister had been extremely close. But that was before Lillith began looking for a challenge. Before she had made up her mind to kill her.
 
Roof


@Lunaria Silver @shadowstrikr25


The Chevalier grit his teeth.  "I understand he can't really hurt you enough to kill you but I have to protect you."  He sighed and shook his head.  "He'd be such an easy target..."  Perhaps part of it was that he was hungry.  "Well, I can't very well sit here and watch you toy with what should be your food so I'll leave for now."  He hesitated, wishing to give her some parting affection.  "I'm always only a few seconds away," he stated, more to appease his own feelings than to reassure her.  "Oh, come on...  You say you love her, then you treat her like she's five and you're dropping her off at school for the first time.  Pick a side!"

@folclor


Grim took the potion with a skeptical look on his face. He sniffed it cautiously. Just like with the healing potions from the tourney he grimaced shrugged. " Cheers." The augmented otter drank the potion, the liquid did not really have a taste, even for him. As he finished drinking her shivered and shook his head. "Gah! That weren't so bad." Handing the bottle back to the headmistress. "I don't feel any different, I didn't think this would work." Grim did not see his hand (not paw) when he gave the bottle back, and there wasn't a mirror within easy line of sight to him, but the potion had already taken effect. Had already alerted his appearance. 


Delrick nodded slowly seeing the change happen. " And you're certain Mr. Shell you feel no different?"


Grim shook his head. " No sensei. I feel fine. It didn't even have a taste, not even like water. Just....liquid." 


The warlock nodded and looked to Nishira. " How would you like to proceed?" 
 
The Roof


@folclor @shadowstrikr25


Lillith nodded at him with a soft smile. "I know you always are. Go on then. When this is over, I'll call you."


Lillith was actually quite excited for Gareth's next attack. That one had caught her off guard. She was extremely curious to see what he would do next.


She realized that if her Chevalier intervened, it would likely take the fun out of it. She would rather him leave than interfere.

Violet now dressed for class wwlked around the halls trying to find something to do. She was bored as usual. she didn't see Grim during the day and Valian had gone MIA. She sighed and took a corner.


@shadowstrikr25
 
Mistress's Room 


@folclor


James woondered for a moment what to do in the hour until they left.  A part of him was tempted to ask Why'nn if she wanted to snuggle, but they'd have plenty of time for that once they were there.  No, there was only one thing for him to do before he left.


James knocked know the door to Mistress Imalia's room before he entered.


"Well Mistress, today is the day...  I'm off on my first mission...  I...  I don't know how to feel about this. "

Nishira drew out a mirror and put it before Grim.  "Look upon yourself.  See how I've changed you."  There was a hint of pride in her voice and a smirk on her lips.  Next she'd have to cast the permanency spell, but this was a reaction she desired enjoying first.  Whether it be shock, horror, joy, or confusion she would relish it.


Roof, then Hallways


@Lunaria Silver @StartingOver


The Chevalier sighed.  He knew he shouldn't stay around if he was going to ruin his queen's fun, so he turned and seemed to disappear.  In truth he was simply moving a bit quickly.  He happened to see Violet and stopped, slowing to an agonizing pace to keep from whirling by her.  "Hey," he greeted.


My Chambers


@TommyGun15


Her body returned to her, whole, she smiled as her apprentice entered.  "I know.  It's okay.  Join me.  I've prepared some tea and we can speak openly until you have to go."  Imalia gestured to the table, set with a teapot and two cups along with some small pastries.  "Come, sit."  She was already seated.

"Well long time no see Valian." Violet gave a wave. She smiled and looked him over. "Where have you been bud, it's been like two weeks. She noticed how he was dressed and frowned. "Got a new wardrobe I see?"


@folclor
 
Hallway


@StartingOver


Well that was an odd question. "I've been with my Queen, of course. Where else would I have been? Nevermind that. How've you been? I've been a bit remiss in retaining my relationships so I thought I might try to recoup then a bit while she plays her game and I have time."
 
Hallway


@folclor


Violet's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean your Queen?" She walked over to him. "Please explain to me what happened to you Valian." Her voice was calm but her eyes flashed a bright red. "That isn't like you to bow to anyone."
 
Hallway


@StartingOver


The Chevalier laughed, light-hearted, at her display and she would see his new fangs. "I'm speaking of Queen Lillith, of course. She's the only one around her and the puppet master can hardly be called a ruler of any kind." At her question he shrugged. "She saved my life, made me her Chevalier. I serve her now, completely."


Inside, Valian was screaming. Finally, though, he stopped and, instead focused on trying to manifest something. Slowly, word appeared on the wall behind the Chevalier, something Violet would easily see. It read:


"Violet! Help! I'm trapped inside my own body. That thing is in charge... I don't know how to regain control. Please... Even though I can be a jerk, will you help me?"
 
Hallways


"You are a jerk, you always have been." She said her eyes looking behind him to the wall. She took a step back and looked the boy in his eyes. "What's your real name?" she raised an eyebrow. "I'd like to know who's messing with my family." Violet and Valian had never been very close, but she was sticking with him now. 


@folclor
 
Hallway


@StartingOver


The Chevalier frowned. "Violet, it's me. Valian. I'm not messing with anyone, though neither you nor Grim qualify as family anymore."


Behind him, the words were erased and new ones were written.


"It doesn't know it's not me. You can see it's not. I'm only still alive because she couldn't change my soul. She forced this on me. I didn't choose it. Grim knows. Ask him. Please, Violet, you have to kill Lillith."

"You know I don't care if you don't like me. I don't care if you say things to try and hurt me, but when you say nasty things like that about Grim... That bothers me!" She balled her fists and took a step closer. "How dare you say he isn't your family anymore." Violet read the message and understood it quite clear. She didn't know how, but she would set him free. 


"You aren't Valian, your a pet, and the person who did this is going to pay dearly."

Grim shrugged and took the mirror, glancing to Delrick, the hair on the back of his neck rising a little at the tone and smirk on the headmistress' face. He held the mirror to look into it. 


His eyes went wide, and his mouth hung agape. Breath ceased to enter and exit his body as he stared at the person, the HUMAN! , staring back at him. 'What? This.... It's a fake! FUCK!' Thoughts formed and flew through his mind before coalescing. He shook his head, with a slightly shaking hand. 'HOLY FUCK I HAVE HANDS! FIVE FINGERS!' He looked to the headmistress, eyes still wide. " How the Fuck did that happen? What did you do? " He tried to take a step back, and felt like his equilibrium was off. Like he'd been drinking all night with hares after a feast. He stumbled back until a chair interrupted his travel. He was breathing hard, his forehead felt damp. He licked his dry lips. He wiped the moisture from his skin with his new fingers. " I'm sweating." He shifted in the chair and looked at where his tail had always been. " And no tail...." He frowned and sighed. " Well shit." 


Letting out one more sigh, this one mixed with sadness and acceptance. Looking to the staff members before him. " Alright, let's do this." Nodding his head, looking out beneath his straw colored hair.

Delrick stood silently, watching the reaction and series of emotions. He had set down his cup, and had been ready to stop the young man from attempting to escape. But he was glad to see he was not needed to do that. The warlock world remain by Nishira's side until the process was complete.
