Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

Location: Meditation Classroom


Who I'm with: Sensei, Connor, Illn, and some other students


What I'm doing: Regaining control


The order jarred her significantly. She got to her feet, keeping her face covered as she went to sit next to Connor. She was only partially in control, her physical form half in transition. Her body could be seen through at this point and her facial features had begun to fade, giving way to the mask. Why'nn kept her face in her hands. 'Please no, please no, please. Please, Sensei, for once I'm begging you to use the binding. Please. Make me change back.'





Location: Meditation Classroom


Who I'm with: The teacher, my sister, the rude outlander, and Brutus


What I'm doing: Straining against orders


The order stopped him, physically, in his tracks. He snarled, glaring at the teacher as he fought against the binding. Illn's head pounded the more he fought. It bothered him that his sister just did as the teacher said. He let out another inhuman shriek, hoping to force her hand.


Why'nn covered her ears, bringing her knees to her chest. But it wasn't enough to stop it. She felt control slipping, her face now resembling the mask and her hands beginning to change into the cruel claws. Her mind was slipping, but she fought to keep control.

What I'm doing: Regaining control


Seeing Illn stop abruptly in his charge, brought a raised eyebrow. "Everyone will take their seats and return to the form they entered this classroom in." He looked down to Why'nn, seeing her knees to her chest. "Ms. Canthet you will regain control and resume your form I met you in this morning."


He looked around the class, seeing of any other student had been affected. He was pleasantly surprised that the few objects he had in the room were still in their places. 'Well done Mr. Shaw.' He patted his shoulder in praise. Looking back to Illn he gave his full attention to him. "You will take your seat and follow and participate in the lesson."

What I'm doing: Fully embracing this order


As Why'nn heard Sensei's words, she used the force of the binding to completely regain control and become her normal appearance. She let out a sigh of relief. Relaxing a bit, she looked up and caught Sensei's gaze momentarily, mouthing 'Thank you.'

What I'm doing: Fighting against the binding


Illn struggled against the orders, further enraged by how the teacher's order seemed to allow his sister to get control. But his head was pounding and the pain was overwhelming. In an instant, he was sitting on the ground in his normal appearance. He glared at the teacher. 'I'll kill you.'
 
Location: Out side school


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Leaving my police box


After the crash, angel quickly shuts down her TARDIS so that the self repair can start. She has absolutely zero idea where she was, why she crashed, and where she was. Angel then steps out of the police box, which was more like a climb, because it was on its side, doors facing up. After getting out she looks around, still not knowing where she was. Angel looks and and sees the school she just crashed next to. She walks into the school and looks around, seeing no one because they were in class.

what i'm doing: reading the note I was sent that said to come here


Lucas was standing a block to the school when he sees a police box appear out of nowhere. "What the hell is that? It looks like it belongs in the 50's," he said. Then he yells, "HEY ARE YOU OK?" But no one was there by the time he got there.

What I'm Doing: Calming down


After quite a bit of effort, Connor managed to pull himself together. He backed away from Illn and looked toward where Why'nn was, and saw her sitting with her knees drawn up. Glancing back at Illn for a moment, he shook his head and moved to Why'nn, once again sitting beside her. He gave her a look that showed compassion and sympathy since she looked so scared. 'Hey. I'm sorry if you heard me shouting mentally. I was just trying to get him to back down. Are you okay?' he asked through telepathy, hoping he hadn't made her feel what she was feeling.

What I'm doing: Catching my breath


She shook her head. 'Di...Did you see?' Her expression calmed as she glanced to him. 'I hope Sensei doesn't know this is happening.' She shifted, but moved to sit more comfortably, knowing she wouldn't be able to do anything against Sensei's instructions once he began class. 'Are you okay? Did you...did you see what happened?'

Who I'm with: No one/The teacher, my siblings, the other students


What I'm doing: Walking to class


He wasn't entirely certain why he had felt the urge to change into his uniform, but he was in it now. Entering, he saw what must've been the aftermath of a conflict. Illn was breathing heavily and looked very angry. His sister, on the other hand, looked remarkably calm.

who i'm with: no one


What i'm doing: about to enter the school


"Who ever was in that box must be in here," Lucas said he did not want to go in the building, but he felt if he had no choice.


"Well here goes nothing," Lucas said was he opened the door and walked in...

Looking around the room, seeing students taking their seats and that the agitators were calming down, or at least not actively fighting.


Delrick stood to his full height and tilted his shoulders as he moved to the front of the classroom. "Good day students. Everyone find a comfortable sitting position and focus on your breathing and slowing it down while you sit still." As he spoke he began to move around the room. "We will continue what we started yesterday." 'Now we will see how you handle instructions.' He noticed Calar had returned in uniform, he nodded and continued to walk around. "You all have a single emotion that is always with you, no matter the task or how you feel. Find that emotion and focus on it." The sensei stopped walking at this point and looked to certain students. "Do not focus on the memories connected to that emotion, just the emotion itself."


Delrick returned to the front of the class, his staff already waiting for him, floating in the air horizontally forming a barrier of sorts. "There is no rush, take your time and focus on your breathing of you have a sea of emotions to sift through." Standing in a relaxed manor, one hand behind his back the other was holding his coffee cup as he surveyed the class, his mind empty.

What I'm doing: Following orders


Why'nn shivered, still hating the feeling of the magic working to bind her actions and will. Her initial idea went out the window, though she did try, momentarily, to fight the binding. No, it would cause more harm than good, more chaos than order. She closed her eyes, attempting to focus on just one emotion. But anger wasn't what was always with her, though it sometimes fueled her outbursts, nor was fear, even if most of her childhood was spent with it at the forefront.


Determination. This is what she settled on, though she momentarily considered whether it actually qualified as an emotion. Deciding it did, she focused on it.


Illn glared at the teacher, but was too weak to fight the orders. He focused on his anger. In doing so, it grew and he began to formulate a plan of attack on the teacher.


Calar found a seat and began observing his fellow students. Both of his siblings were following instructions, though his sister seemed to be taking it more seriously than Illn. That was to be expected. After all, she had been in training for the priesthood. Still, Calar did not feel like following orders. He did, however, close his eyes and think about how wonderful it would be to experiment on all of his various classmates.

Who I'm With: Why'nn


What I'm Doing: Not Wanting To Meditate


Connor closed his eyes and sat quietly, but didn't focus on the emotion. He just felt he didn't have the discipline to not see the memories attached to his anger. It was too painful and he also didn't want to risk hurting anyone. Instead, he attempted to try and focus his telepathy a bit more. He pictured Why'nn in his mind, and tried projecting a message to her once more, despite knowing she was trying to do as the teacher said. 'Don't react. Don't want the teacher knowing I'm talking to you. I can't bring myself to try the meditation until I can control my telekinesis. I don't want to hurt anyone...'


He sat there for a moment and considered their earlier conversation. Honestly, he wasn't sure if he could do what she asked, but he was willing to try. 'As to your question earlier...I honestly don't know if I can see memories. I would assume I can. The only thing I can do is try.'

What I'm doing: Trying not to react


The disruption was so stark she almost gasped. She hadn't even realized her thoughts were so completely controlled by the binding, so when his thoughts cut through hers, she had to fight the urge to react audibly. Still, this was more comfortable than the binding. Focusing on keeping her breathing steady, she remained in the same position with her eyes closed. 'I think he'd be angry if he kn-knew.' The binding attempted to regain control, causing interference in the connection. However, when he once again projected to her, it cut through. 'You're very strong... I'm certain you can. But... what I want you to see is... a bit graphic. Is that okay?'

What I'm doing: Listening to Why'nn


Connor felt a smile try to work it's way across his lips, but managed to suppress it. The fact Why'nn believed he was strong felt nice. He'd always considered himself weak since he was never able to defend himself from the beatings he'd received. 'I don't mind. If you feel like you need someone to know, then I will do my best see what you have to show me.' Once again, he hesitated for a moment. He remembered one of the reasons why people feared his telepathic powers. People feared that their thoughts wouldn't be their own; feared that they were being controlled by the telepath to do as he or she wished. He took a deep breath and pushed that aside for now. He'd never do that to anyone, not if he had a choice. 'Go ahead and show me. I'll do the best I can to see.'

Who I'm with: Sensei, Connor, and the other students


What I'm doing: Getting ready to share


'Okay...' She was hesitant, both because she wasn't sure whether this counted as 'telling' someone and because she wasn't entirely certain the imagery was something Connor could handle. 'Here goes nothing...' Why'nn focused on the events of the night before, starting with right after she woke from the binding. Focused on the pain, the fear, the anger, the certainty of death.


She slowly came to, her vision initially darkened but slowly clearing. As she looked up, she could see the sensei above her, his expression as calm as always, and the headmistress standing to the side. Her smile was predatory at best, giving Why'nn an uneasy feeling. It was then that the sensei began speaking.


"You are now my apprentice, and as such you are bound to me. I require a show of devotion. Failure to show it will result in a painful death. And a fate beyond that." He held out to her a dagger, hilt first. "Cut into your chest and open your heart for me to see."


The headmistress giggled with apparent glee. "You're being so kind, Delrick. I didn't offer you a knife."


"This is a much easier and cleaner way to see the desired effect," came the sensei's calm voice.


As the sensei's orders fell upon her ears, she felt her body move to obey, though her mind railed against it. The straps holding her to the bed could not stop her from reaching out and taking hold of the knife. Tears sprang to her eyes as she understood what was happening. "Please, no," she whimpered. Her hand moved the knife closer.


The knife plunged into her chest and she screamed in pain as she slashed her flesh open. Why'nn looked up at the sensei, pleading in her gaze. But she knew he wouldn't rescind the order. She wanted to stop. It hurt so badly. No matter how hard she tried, however, her will could not win out against the order. She carved until her beating heart was on display. Her breathing was unsteady, tears pouring down her cheeks, hands shaking as she grasped at the torn and bloody flesh.


The sensei nodded to her, possibly attempting to denote approval, then took the knife from her. "Good. You have succeeded." He placed a hand over hers and pressed the torn flesh back into place. "You are indeed worthy to serve and learn at my side." The sensei looked to the headmistress. "She has passed and survived. She is bound to me and is my apprentice."


"You've done well, Delrick. You're free to do with the child as you wish from now on, within reason." She turned and walked from the infirmary, throwing the doors wide as she left.


The nurses quickly stitched the wound on Why'nn's chest closed, though they did not use healing magics. Finally, after the headmistress was gone for several minutes and the stitches were set, the girl ventured to speak. "Wh-What does this mean?" she breathed.


To Connor, if he could see these images, it would be as if a blinding white light filled his mind, blanking out anything further.


Why'nn, on the other hand, felt pain in her chest. The wound seemed to be reopening. 'Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods!' Forcing her mind away from the memory, breaking the link, clean, between herself and Connor, seemed to stop the pain, but she couldn't stop herself from putting a hand over her heart to try and stem the bleeding. Fear and realization overcame her. 'It hasn't soaked through my shirt yet... maybe he doesn't know...' But something inside her knew he did.

Who I'm With: Why'nn, teacher, other students


What I'm doing: Reacting, but subtly


Connor watched the images pass through his mind. It was as though he were experiencing the event through Why'nn's eyes. When she plunged the dagger into her chest, he felt his stomach flutter slightly, but didn't react. He felt how scared she was, how in pain she was. He saw how cold and uncaring the teachers seemed as they watched Why'nn cut open her chest. After she asked the teacher he question, the lights in the infirmary grew bright and he felt himself thrust into a white void, unable to see or hear anything. Then he was pushed back further, away from the memory. He heard her panic, heard her worry about the wound on her chest. 'Calm down, Why'nn. It's okay. He'll know something happened, but he won't know exactly who or what.'





He tried to project calming thoughts to her, but had no idea what she found soothing. He tried projecting the image of a grassy meadow, the wind blowing across, rustling the grass, the warm sun giving her it's warmth. He knew it was a long shot, but he had to try. After a moment of doing this, he began to feel strangely tired, as though he had not gotten much sleep or had spent an entire day doing hard work. It was a confusing sensation.

What I'm doing: Panicking.


'He'll know, he'll knowhe'llknow. Mustgetoutitwillbepainfulmustleavenow. Window'stoohighhe'llseemeifIrungottaescapeneedtoescape.' Her breathing began to quicken, muscles tensing. Her heart beat faster, the blood seeping through the bandages and staining her shirt. Though part of her knew the images Connor was sending her were meant to be calming, she didn't get anything out of the envisioned warmth. In fact, it threw her into a greater panic. 'Needtorunneedtorunneedtorun. Door'stoofarhe'llsee.' Her hand clenched her bloodied shirt as her eyes shot open. 'Mustgonow.' It looked as if she was about to get to her feet and spring for the door when her gaze landed on Sensei. Her breathing slowed, the panic slipping from her as her muscles relaxed. 'That brings more chaos than order... I promised I wouldn't.' Keeping her gaze on Sensei, she nodded carefully. 'No more chaos. I promised. Sensei hasn't done anything to hurt me. He promised he wouldn't lie to me. I can't betray him.' She regained the relaxed sitting posture she'd had a few minutes before, released her grip on her shirt, and closed her eyes. 'I'm sorry, Connor.'





She sunk, willingly, into a meditative state. It wasn't all that different from the prayer and study she'd experienced at the temple. She did not shut off her connection to Connor. Actually, she quite liked having someone she could trust in her mind. Though she was worried the undead creature would rear its ugly head and cause some mischief, that wasn't something she would focus on now. Her mind began to clear. Peaceful. In her mind's eye she envisioned her god.


'Are you okay?' she eventually asked, once the silence had settled and the panic was no longer felt between them. 'Did you see?'

The sensei gazed out over the classroom and slowly drank his coffee, enjoying the relative calm as compared to yesterday, or even just a few minutes ago. "Good. I know focusing on just one emotion can be difficult. So if that is the case, focus on sitting still and slowing your breathing and heart rate." His own was slow and steady and his posture very relaxed.


He did notice a connection of sorts forming between his apprentice and Connor. He made a note to speak with Why'nn after class and to speak with the headmistress about Connor and his abilities.

What I'm doing: Being skeptical


Brutus was following directions but in his own way. He didn't focus on one emotion but instead made it look like he was, he opened one eye slightly and looked around the room to see his fellow students simply doing as they were told. Brutus had thought about believing this meditation nonsense after this morning but wrote it off as someone's failed lab experiment. So Brutus just sat there waiting for further instructions with his eyes closed.

What I'm doing: Following instructions


Why'nn began enjoying the meditation at this point. However, in her current state she had no active defenses against the binding. When Sensei's order came it was instantly accepted with no struggle. Connor would experience the same interference as before when next he tried to speak with her.


Illn strained against the orders but could do nothing against them. He so wanted to rush the teacher and start attacking, but the continued orders kept his ability to do that at bay. If he could just force his siblings to become their undead counterparts he would be happy, but he found he could not cry out.





'And we'd cut that creature open. I wonder at its anatomy. Does it even have a heart? I'd love to find out...' Calar sat with a smile upon his face. He wasn't doing as the teacher asked, but his eyes were closed and breathing was slow.

Who I'm with: Nobody...for now.


What I'm doing: Going to meet my new employer, Nishara


Acantha breathed in happily, stretching her arms behind her, and exhaling a yawn. The journey here was a bit tedious, but she heard this place would be the best place to continue her research, whilst perhaps being able to induct a few young minds into knowing the beauties of botany.


She wore a simple emerald dress, reminiscent of a toga, and a few pieces of luggage were behind her, along with a couple crates of secret, cultivated research. She strode to the front, almost gliding through the doors, and started to gaze around, trying to get clues as the where a certain "Nishara" would be. She'd certainly need to to talk to her about the lack of lushness on these grounds, maybe a gardener could be a little more initiative you know! Or guard plants, perhaps? Making conscious Venus flytraps who sought after humans was now grade school level to her, and would certainly be beneficial, no?
 
Location: My office


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Noticing the arrival of someone new


Nishira looked up from the spell tome. Her enchantments warned of the entry of a powerful soul. Perhaps the witch who had applied for her opening finally arrived. She sighed and leaned back, waving a hand to call up a mirror that then showed her the entry hall. A student appeared to have entered earlier. Another late arrival? She would have to reiterate her terms with the universes. But there was her new teacher as well.


'I'll have to teach her the use of punctuality,' the headmistress thought as she stood and walked to a wall-length mirror. Carefully, she stepped through. These portals were new, just recently installed, and she didn't quite trust them yet. But she found herself standing in the entry hall, nonetheless.


"Acantha?" she greeted, approaching the younger woman. Nishira wore a smile upon her face.

"Ah, my darling, you must be Nishara, no? A pleasure, I am the witch you described a potential teaching job to, Acantha, but please, as familiars of a similar level of magic, I will allow Aca. I'm more than ready to get started!" Acantha said, beaming. "Although, I hope you won't mind me conducting a little research here, no? I'm on the verge of some excellent creations, as many people don't have enough appreciation for plants these days...what preoccupied children my generation of witches was bestowed..." She exclaimed while taking in the scene.
 
Location: Entry Hall


Who I'm with: Acantha


What I'm doing: Sizing up my newest addition


The woman's mannerisms were grating on her nerves. She hated such pleasantries. 'Similar level of magic? No. No, you're nowhere near me,' Nishira thought, though her smile never faltered. The smile did grow slightly, a sadistic edge added, when she heard that Acantha desired to research. "Of course, of course. Research and experimentation is encouraged. Now, come along, we have a few things to discuss in my office." She began leading the witch toward the mirror. "We'll get there by portal, it saves so much time and energy." With that, the lich stepped through and was in her familiar surroundings. Turning, she waited, arms crossed, for the new teacher to join her.

Who I'm With: Why'nn, teacher, other students


What I'm doing: Finally trying to meditate


Connor sat there taking slow, deep breaths as he tried to meditate. He tried focusing on the anger that he felt, but as he started to see the memories that went with it, he pulled back. He wouldn't have a repeat of yesterday. Instead, he decided to extend his telepathy beyond Why'nn. He didn't try to read anyone's mind, just reach out and see if he could feel the presence of their minds, and just how many there might be. He didn't know if this would work, but he still felt he wanted to. As he sat there, another form came into his mind, then another. And another.


'Ten...Forty...Eighty... ... One hundred eighty-one.' He couldn't believe there were so many here. He wanted to try reading a couple of them, but he began feeling light headed. He had never pushed his powers this much in a single day, but he wanted to stop being afraid of them. They were part of who he was. After a moment of closing his mind to all the others, he felt a liquid dripping slowly from his nose. He opened his eyes and wiped at the liquid with his hand. Upon looking down, he saw a bit of blood smeared across his hand. 'Wow...Guess I should be more careful...'

"A-Ah let me explain when I meant certain levels! You are very advanced in magics and strategies, no? I've heard many a great thing about you from my universe, however, if you have any large-scale plans, you're going to need an inventor, someone to make tools to aid your plans!" Aca drew out an old notebook from her knapsack, seeming to be full of all sorts of scripts. "I'm aware of what your plans may be, and to be quite honest, I'm in almost full agreement with them!" She said excitedly.


"I am absolutely ready to start teaching, and my research, once we've got all the little details figure out, no? I assume you've read my file, as I have read yours to know that you like to make sure those you work with don't betray you. So, what'll be the deal breaker?" She said while finally sitting down in a chair near Nishara's desk, pensively skimming over her handwritten notes in her research journal, trying to find the most coherent ones.
