Location: Cafeteria


Who I'm with: Sugarshe (@mewbot5408 ), Bridget (@BloodHasSpilled )


What I'm doing: Making a deal


James thought for a moment. Well, it wouldn't be the first potentially dangerous deal he'd made for knowledge today. Chances were good this was another thing he should probably take time to think about, but this was something James wanted to know. Face bright red from being this close to her, James nodded.


"Ok... I'll do it. What can I offer you so that you'll show me how you transform?"

Who I'm with: Myself


What I'm doing: Walking in


After skipping to the door, Janette swipes her hair out of her face with her hand and opens the relatively larger door and enters, attempting to head for the lunch room. "So far so good." She mumbles to herself as she makes a bee-line for her destination, attempting to avoid all teachers

Location: My Office


Who I'm with: Anais


What I'm doing: Giving directions


"Oh, yes. On the first floor. There's a hallway beside the stairway up to the dorms. It leads to the administration office, the infirmary, and a few classrooms. Your office is within the administration office. It is labeled and waiting for you. Your quarters are on the third floor. You'll find them quite spacious." The headmistress looked back to the papers on her desk. "The room will know what you need. Let it feel you out."


Location: Infirmary


Who I'm with: Connor, Sensei, HK-50-01, Mistress Manara, and the nurses


What I'm doing: Exploring


Carefully, she tried to move the arm as a whole. It was slow and it was different, but she was able to fully extend and move the arm, bending at the elbow, moving the shoulder, her flesh moving with the mechanized appendage. New feeling. Different. Slightly painful, but nothing excruciating. She grimaced as the flesh and the mechanics began to work in tandem. This would take a bit to get used to. Would she be able to grip a scythe with this?


A spirit floated in, carrying food for Connor and Why'nn. It set up trays for both students and set the food upon it. It bowed to Delrick, then Manara, and left.


Why'nn watched the soup before her with trepidation. It was not familiar. It did not smell familiar, though it did smell appetizing. Her years with the Church of Jergal and the Monks of the Long Death and the many punishments that kept her from eating for a few days kept her from immediately digging into the food. So she waited, her eyes looking away from the food. She didn't want to be tempted and she refused to show further weakness.

What I'm doing: Having a bit of fun


Valian laughed. "Never known you to be a shy one. Kinda cute." He winked at her. He honestly would never have believed the doll would be so... What was the word? He honestly couldn't think of any better descriptions than 'cute' and 'adorable.'

 

[KalenNighteyes]

Location: Infirmary (Connor, Manara)


Who I'm With: Why'nn, Delrick, HK (Connor, Manara)


What I'm Doing: Attempting to eat (Connor), Telling the girl to eat (Manara)


Connor looked at the food on the tray before him. He let out a sigh, and picked up the soup from the tray, and raised the bowl to his lips. It tasted fairly good, and as he swallowed, it hurt but it also seemed to soothe the pain he was feeling. Taking another sip, he eyed the Sith as she worked on Why'nn's arm. The woman was being almost kind to her now. Why such a drastic change in attitude? This woman either had multiple personalities or she only acted the way she did to test people. If it was the latter reason, severing someone's arm is one hell of a test.


Manara watched as the girl moved her arm. It was a bit a clumsy, but she would get the hang of it with time. After a moment, she noticed the girl eyeing the soup that was in front of her. Manara gave a smile and nodded. "You should eat. It will help you gain back your strength, thus making it that much easier to control your new arm." Manara pushed the tray closer to the girl. "And do remember to use your other hand." Manara glanced over her shoulder at the boy once more. She could feel his gaze on her as he watched. She turned and faced him, her smile not faltering. "How is your throat, boy? I imagine it's quite painful." She took a few steps closer to Connor's bed and looked him in the eye. "I'd be interested to learn what you know about the future of my universe. However, I prefer to think of the future as not written in stone. At least...Not my future."


She gave him a smirk and turned back to the girl. "Keep trying to move your arm. Don't focus on using it much. We will start working on this later tonight when we begin our session." She gave a nod to Delrick. "I assume you'll be there for portion of the training session involving her arm. Our Headmistress will inform you of the private sessions the girl and I will have." With that, Manara spoke briefly to the nurses to monitor power levels in the arm's power supply, and that Manara would later provide a power source which should not run out. She also told them to inform her if anything more was needed regarding the arm. Finally, she made her way to the door.

Who I'm with: Connor, Sensei, HK-50-01, Manara, and the nurses


What I'm doing: Eating


This tone from Mistress Manara was off-putting, but she had experienced this shift of personalities before with Mistress Zaltya. Still, Why'nn didn't immediately move when the teacher commanded her to eat and shifted the tray toward her. No, she waited until Mistress Manara had turned her back and was almost out the door before picking up the spoon. As most people's dominant hand was their right, Why'nn learned to use hers in public for simple things like eating. To watch her normally one would not know it was not her dominant if they did not watch her write, see her cast spells, or observe her movements in battle.


After glancing at Sensei to make sure it was all right, Why'nn picked up her spoon and began to eat. Careful, methodical, showing no signs of enjoyment though this was the most delicious thing she'd ever tasted, slow though she wanted to drink down the bowl in one. It would be disrespectful to do so. Had Mistress Manara already left she likely would eat more quickly, but she felt she needed to be on guard around that woman.


In a small voice, once Mistress Manara seemed out of earshot, Why'nn said, "Sensei... do I have to engage in private training sessions with her? I understand needing to learn the use of my arm and am not against such as you will be with me. I do not trust her." The soup was halfway done, but her stomach was full. Though it would hurt to finish it, she knew better than to waste food. After all, who knew when her next meal would be? She certainly didn't. So she continued to eat, though it painted her.

 

[BatLover]

Devon looks around, wondering what she could eat. She sighed, and stood up. Walking over and grabs some beef stew. Hoping it had enough so she could heal fast. Hopefully soon too, so she could find out where she is exactly. Is this going to be another one of those, parallel dimension highschool days for her? She hoped not. She always got ignored in those schools, almost as if she isn't there at all.


Location: cafeteria


who I am with: everyone in cafeteria


what I am doing: being hungry still.

 

[AnaisDeLuise]

Location: Halls


Who I'm With: Nobody


What I'm Doing: Locating My Office


The room will know what you need. Let it feel you out. Anais walked down the halls, using the directions Headmistress Nishira had given her to find her office, and thought about what Nishira had told her. What exactly did she mean by that? Anais instantly thought about that room in a book she had read as a kid, where the room would only appear when it was needed and always had what you needed inside. She shook her head at the thought. It sounded ridiculous, but she knew that nothing was impossible at this school. She had already seen enough to make any regular human being feel like they were in a dream, and she felt more freaked out with herself that she considered this to be a challenge. The fact that Anais had accepted it and decided to stay made her question her own sanity, but she was willing to feel a little crazy.


Finally reaching the administrations office, Anais began to feel a bit nervous. She had no idea what to expect going inside her office, but she knew she didn't really have a choice anyways. She went inside and searched for her office, until reachimg the back end where she found a plaque that said "Student Counselor". She smiled and, without hesistation, went inside. What she saw she couldn't believe. The office had everythig she needed inside and was quite frankly, to the nerdy teacher inside her, beautiful. It was spacious and warm. Anais felt like she was at home. Like a kid in a candy store! She tossed her bag on her new desk and say in her chair. Comfy! She thought to herself.


Leaning foward, she eyed a plaque shining in the middle of the table. It was gold, and looked quite expensive. She turned the plaque around to read it;

Student Counselor






Anais DeLuise

Anais couldn't help but smile, and her heart filled with joy. This is it. Suddenly, her stomach growled terribly and reminded her of how hungry she kept forgetting she was. She sighed, then stood up from her desk and made her way to the door.


Anais left the admins office, making her way down the hall and into the cafeteria, where she saw an abundance of student. They were all shapes and sizes.. and colors. Everyone was different and the only thing Anais could think of was how easy it will be to remember them all. I mean how could she not, there were so many unique faces in that sea of students, some a lot friendlier than others. Anais gulped. She didn't really know where to start and after a while of thinking, she decided to find Seighart, the chef she had ran into previously. She was sure that he could help her.

Zipper looks up at valian with her aqua eyes blushing slightly. She never had been called cute before so it was new to her. "cute??" she asked softly tilting her head then looks back down quietly fumbling with the sleeves of her hoodie. "zipper thinks valian is a nice guy and thanks him for being her friend.."she says still in the soft tone.

Sugarshe nods."i can offer much more than that simply request....but in exchange I ask for your companionship. all you have to do is sign on the dotted line.." she says and a paper appears on the table. she smiles.

What i'm doing:Snapping out of it.


Violet walked in and made her way to the window. The man yelled at her for food. She gave a nod and took the tray walking to a nearby table to herself. She began to eat the food being quiet and to herself, following her orders. After a few bites she blinked and shook her head. "How did I get here?" she looked around and down at the food. "This... this is a cafeteria... I was in the infirmary..." she placed her hand to her head and started to look around. Then she angrily slammed her hand down on the table. "That old man messed with my head!

What I'm doing: Saying hello


Sieghart waved as the somewhat dazed looking girl left the counter.


"Enjoy your meal!"


Sieghart spotted Anaise as she walked across the cafeteria. She looked a bit lost. He waved and called her over, hoping to offer her someone to talk to.


"Hello! C'mon over, I've still got a bit of stew left."


James


Location: Cafeteria


Who I'm with: Bridget (@BloodHasSpilled ), Sugarshe (@mewbot5408 ), Others


What I'm doing: Reading a contract


James was a bit surprised that Sugarshe had been referring to an actual contract. He pulled away enough that he could get some good lighting, and set the paper on the table. This time, he'd take the time to read exactly what he was agreeing to before making a decision.


"I uh... I don't mean any offense, but... I think I'll give this a quick read before I sign it."

What I'm Doing: chatting and eating... finally.


Anais heard a voice calling to her from a few feet away where they were serving the teens food in the cafeteria. She turned to see Seighart waving her over and Anais was relieved to see a familiar face. She made her way over, making sure that she grabbed a tray before arriving. "Oh, gosh, I am really happy to see you." Anais said, her southern twang a little more prominant given her excitement. "I am starving! I wanted to say hi to the kids but, I can't hear myself speaking over my stomach growling!" She laughed, feeling a lot more comfortable than she was before. She held the tray with one hand and with the other, she moved her long red hair out of her face and let it cling to the back of her ear.


"I'm hoping you had some left for me, hon. I'm dying over here!"

Company: James (@TommyGun15 ), Zipper, Sugarshe (@mewbot5408 ), Valian (@folclor ), and Grim (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna )


Activity: Whining


The feminine young man could not accept the fact that seemingly all the people at the table were ignoring him. All he wanted to do is socialize, yet Bridget still gets treated like dirt on a king's boot. The young man groans at Jamie's attempt to introduce him -- Nobody looked interested in a nuisance of a child. Putting on an upset expression and banging his head on the table, he sounded like he was about to emerge into tears.


"I bet all of you hate me... You guys don't even bother with me at all. James is just interested in getting kissy-missy with Sugarshe..." After he made that comment, his face was profusely beet red. "...Valian doesn't care, Zipper wants to only talk with him, and well... The pirate otter dude probably hates me, also..." After banging his head thrice-- I mean, three times, he simply held his gloved palms to his eyes.


Mei, having absolutely no luck with her Touch-Registering Target Tracker (how she managed to touch the Headmistress with a cellphone device is a looong story), decided to simply head back to the lunchroom and talk with others. Chambering her M9 if necessary, she walked in and noticed a large table of mostly kind-looking individuals and seated by them. She noticed a young man most likely crying. Mrs. Hayashi had known this fellow was male almost immediately, noticing a male symbol on his headwear earlier. "Uhh... Dude, can anyone tell me what pills this autist shoved down his gullet today?" She made a hurtful and brash remark.

What I'm doing: Talking and eating


Valian ruffled Zippers hair a bit, chuckling. Then he heard Bridget's statement and frowned. "I do care, but my friend just had a panic attack. Excuse me for wanting to make sure she's okay." Perhaps he was being too harsh on the girl - boy? He sighed, then noticed Mei enter. "Mei, most of the first years are having a rough day, lay off." Was he going to have to be the protector of everyone here? "Bridget, no one hates you here. Grim certainly doesn't, but there have been some..." he glanced at his otter friend sidelong, "developments that he needs to process. His name is Grim, I'll reiterate, and he's not a pirate. If you want to get away from the kissing, feel free to move over here by me."


(Note: This is a combined Why'nn and Delrick post. Grim has given me permission to post for Delrick.)


Location: Infirmary


Who I'm with: Sensei, Connor, HK-50-01, Manara, and the nurses


What I'm doing: Eating


Delrick remained silent through the exchange between Manara and his apprentice, understanding that this was a necessary evil. At Connor's smug smirk he shot a look of condescension. While the nurses might have a point, Delrick didn't have to like it. However, the boy did not seem to interfere with Why'nn's growth, so he didn't fight it. At Manara's comment to him, he glared. If she wanted to gain an already taken apprentice she knew the proper channels, but he would be damned if she thought she could take Why'nn from him. This girl did not need Manara's extended cruelty.


As the Sith left and both students began to eat, he noticed his apprentice look to him for approval or encouragement. He nodded. "You need your strength." Though it wasn't enjoyable to agree with Manara in this moment, it was for the good of his apprentice. He would speak to the headmistress later about these 'private' training sessions Manara desired.


Why'nn ate until she finished her bowl. However, the bread she took to hide in her bag. There was no guarantee she'd have food later. Her stomach felt... full, which was odd. It had been such a long time since she felt that way. This school didn't appear to have rats, so she'd gone several days when she first arrived without eating, not understanding that food was available at times.

What I'm doing: Apologizing


James looked up when he heard Bridget slamming his head against the table. Worried that his friend might hurt himself again, James reached over and put his hand on Bridget's shoulder.


"Hey! Don't hurt yourself!"


James suddenly felt very guilty for forgetting about Bridget. He'd been through the same thing enough times that he should've known better by now. James wrapped his arm around Bridget is what was best described as a "guy hug", platonic, but still concerned. He patted Bridget on the back.


"Hey... I'm sorry. I got caught up in... Well you know..."


James had an idea.


"Hey Bridget. We've got a free period after the 4 o'clock class. Some... prior commitments have me doing something at 6, but what say after the 4 o'clock class we hang out? C'mon, It'll be you, me, and whatever insanity we can get ourselves into."

"Of course, I've got plenty of stew left." Sieghart said happily. "I was actually about to eat lunch myself."


Sieghart motioned toward the door to the kitchen.


"Feel free to join me if you wish. I could point out a few student's that I've taken notice of while we eat. Trust me, I've run a tavern long enough to know who needs someone to talk to. Perhaps I could recommend a few students you might wish to talk with."

Who I'm With: Sieghart (@TommyGun15)


What I'm Doing: chatting & eating


Anais nodded, walking around to the kitchen door and entering the kitchen. She took a quick glance around and it was cozy. If she were a chef, this would be the place she would love to be every day. This school, it seemed to her that it not only cared about it's students but it's staff as well. So much attention to detail. Anais knew that, somehow, she was meant to be there.


She saw a few chairs and a table nearby and decided to sit down. She crossed her legs and leaned over the table, getting comfortable. Her hair fell to her sideas she tilted her head to look over to Sieghart, who was fixing the food for the both of them. Anais found herself deep in thought, twirling her class ring around and biting her full red lips. She was wondering if the kids were even going to like her. She knew that the guidence counseler could either be the favorite teacher in the school or the most hated. She would take the former over the latter any day.


Anais looked back up to Sieghart and they locked eyes, and looking at him didn't freak her out anymore. He was a gentleman for sure and how could she hate that? She smiled as she decided to start the conversation.


"So, I'm interested to know your take on the school. It's amazing how many different faces you see here." Anais giggled, and made a gesture towards him. "You being one of the many I've seen. Oh and please, definitely tell me about the kids. I love kids. That's why i decided to do this." Her southern twang bubbled to the surface as she got excited, this time, speaking about the students at the school. She couldn't wait to meet them.

Location: The Kitchen


Who I'm with: Anais (@AnaisDeLuise )


What I'm doing: Chatting


Sieghart returned a tray of food for Anais, smiling as he handed it to her.


"Please, enjoy."


Sieghart walked to the center of the kitchen, where a massive open flame burned, some of the longest tongues of flame licking at the ceiling. If one looked close enough, they could see a charred human skeleton laying in the center of the flames, a sword with a blade twisted into a corkscrew shape stabbing though it's ribcage and into the ground. Within the massive flame were two pots. Sieghart took a bottle and dipped it into one of the pots, removing a liquid that glowed like molten sunbeams. Sieghart then filled a bowl with some sort of shining soup that looked almost as if it were made from condensed starlight. Sieghart took his bowl and his bottle and sat down across the table from Anais. As he ate he answered her questions.


"Oh, I'd say that this is probably the most accepting school I have seen. As I said before, not many places would be willing to hire an undead such as myself. As for the students, they are a mixed bag. Most of them have been forcibly exiled from their home planes because they were considered too dangerous to have around."


Sieghart sighed and scratched lightly at the rotted side of his head.


"It shows too. My first day here, and several students have already been to the infirmary, some of them more than once. While I'm sure they are overall good kids, I would advise treating them with a hint of caution. Take this girl for example..."


Sieghart reached into a folder marked "Student Files", and removed a file of a 3rd year student with wolf-like features.


"This girl is apparently a sort of demon, and she requires blood to sustain herself. I took notice of her behavior during lunch, and she seems to have a disturbingly open stance towards her own sexuality as well. Over the course of a one hour I saw her practically wrap a first-year student around her finger."


Sieghart pulled out another file.


"This girl is listed as half-undead, and in the single day this school has been open she has been in the infirmary twice."


Another file.


"Lost control of magical powers during a bully attack and burned down a school..."


Another.


"Male student, raised as a girl, dresses in a blue nun's habit and wears a giant pair of handcuffs around his body..."


Another.


"Telepath with no known history. Has also been in the infirmary several times. Is very close to the undead girl..."


Sieghart sighed and put the files back in the folder.


"The list goes on. I'm sure they are all good kids, but their backgrounds are covered in suffering and blood. The more I think about it... it saddens me."


Sieghart slid the folder across the table to Anais. He then finished his food, stood, and walked over to an set of antique looking brewing devices. He pulled a handle and a dark, strong smelling liquor poured out.


"I think I need a drink. Want some?"

Anais skimmed through the folders that Sieghart placed on the table. Some had similar backgrounds, most were different in every way. She remembered back to what the Headmistress said about all the kids being from different places. Being casted away from your home must be hard, especially when you're so young. It must be really tough on these kids. Anais thought as she took her first spoonfull of the stew the chef had served to her earlier. "Mmm.." Anais moaned in pure bliss. The food was amazing! Surely Headmistress Nishira made the right choice making Sieghart the chef.


She shot a grin at Sieghart from across the table and gobbled down the rest of the stew, without any regards to her manners. Nice and full she continued to finger through the files until she heard Sieghart speak again. "I think need a drink. Want some?" Anais chuckled and shot a look at Sieghart as he poured himself a drink.


"I'm not sure sure if that would be a good idea hon. I'm a total lightweight. Can't be drunk around the kids. That would make for a terrible first impression!" She laughed, setting the spoon down in the bowl after licking it clean. "But no judgement here. Maybe after your drink you could introduce me to some of the kids. If you aren't too busy."

 

[KalenNighteyes]

Location: Cafeteria


Who I'm With: No one


What I'm Doing: Observing the room once again


Iris had been sitting in the courtyard for a short time. The time by herself was nice, but it was beginning to get boring. She gave a stretch as she stood up from the bench she had been sitting on and made her way back into the school. Her mind kept wandering back to the girl who had just received the replacement limb, and hoped she was doing alright. She even thought about going back to the infirmary to see her once more, but thought better of it. It wasn't like her to want to be around someone, though maybe it was because she felt for the girl...knew how she felt. She clenched her fist at the memory of losing her arm, but quickly pushed it back once more. No, she wouldn't go see the girl. Instead, she stepped back into the cafeteria. It seemed that was were most were hanging out at the moment anyway, though the next class should be starting soon. As she stepped through the doorway, she stopped for a moment, rested her hand on the hilt of her sword, and scanned the room.


The scene was basically unchanged from when she was here not long ago. With a smirk, she moved back through the cafeteria toward her own little, secluded table in the back. As she sat there, she scanned the room once more before turning her attention to her right arm, which rested on the table in front of her. Raising her sleeve, she began to mess with a small panel on the under side of the arm, and with a click, the panel opened up revealing a small digital display. There were a bunch of bars of varying heights, a jagged line, and a number with a percentage sign next to it. Fifty-seven percent. She gave the screen a slight tap, expecting the number to change, but when it didn't, she sighed and closed the panel once more. As she lowered her sleeve, she shook her head, and knew that her arm would power down before the end of all her classes. She had the urge to punch a hole through the table, but thought better of it. It would only deplete the power further. The only reason she could think of for the power to be drained so much was that the power supply was beginning to burn out. She'd had this arm for a long time and had never had issue with the power, and the prospect of losing use of her arm was devastating to her. For the first time in three and a half years, she missed her own world.

What I'm doing: Helping introduce Anais to some people


Sieghart downed his drink in one swallow. He then poured himself another glass and repeated the feat. With a sigh, he tossed the wooden cup into the sink.


"Hmm... Probably for the best you not try it right now. As an undead, I cannot be intoxicated, that drink is simply one of the only things that brings any sort of sensation to my mouth, besides some of my Undead recipes. While siegbrau, my own personal family brew, has little effect on me, I'll admit I have seen it drop a grown man like a sack of potatoes. Still, if you're ever feeling adventurous, I'll serve you some."


Sieghart looked at the clock.


"Hmmm... Lunch should be ending shortly... Come, I will introduce you to some of the students."


Sieghart walked with Anais out into the cafeteria to one of the more crowded tables. At this table were two of the students whose files Sieghart had mentioned, though a third had stood and left the table a moment before they arrived.


"Greetings children. "I would like to introduce you to Ms. Anais DeLuise. She will be your new school guidance counselor."

Location: The Cafeteria/The Enchanting and Engraving Classroom


Who I'm with: Bridget, Sugarshe, others/ Mistress Imalia


What I' doing: Leaving/ Knocking on the door


James looked at the time, then at his schedule. Next to his next class, the words "teacher absent, free period" appeared. Maybe he could use this time to get a few worries he'd had cleared up.


"Bridget, I'm sorry to up and leave you again, but I need to go get that concern of mine settled. If... what I'm afraid is the case is in fact the case... I... I don't know what I'll do."


James stood, picking up the contract Sugarshe had given him.


"Umm... Sugar." James said with a blush, "I'll read this over, and I'll let you know my decision tonight, at around 7."


James awkwardly leaned over and kissed Sugarshe on the cheek.


"Um... see you."


James quickly walked out of the Cafeteria, passing the Cook and some new woman along the way. He hurried down the hallway and stopped in front of Mistress Imalia's classroom door. He knocked gently on the door, waiting for a reply and hoping he wouldn't anger her with his questions.

What I'm Doing: Introducing myself


Anais giggled. "Maybe later tonight. I'd love a drink. Might help me settle in a lot easier!" She laughed as Sieghart checked the clock and then looked back at her. "Hmmm... Lunch should be ending shortly... Come, I will introduce you to some of the students." Sieghart said, gesturing towards the door. She walked out into the cafeteria with him and followed him to a table full of students. As they arrived, she watched as one of the students made his way out in a hurry. Too bad. Guess I'll have to intoduce myself a little later.


"Greetings children. "I would like to introduce you to Ms. Anais DeLuise. She will be your new school guidance counselor." As Sieghart intoduced her to the students, she grinned and waved as her green eyes captured everyones faces at the table.


"Hello everyone. It's very nice to meet you! I hope I can take the time to get to know ya'll soon."

What I'm doing: Entering the classroom


After waiting a few minutes with no reply, James slowly opened the door to the classroom a stepped inside. According to the schedule, there should be no students in the classroom for this hour. James looked around the classroom nervously.


"Um... Mistress Imalia? Can I talk to you about some things..."

Who I'm with: Grim, Zipper, Sugarshe, Bridget, Mei, the cook, and a new lady


"Great to meet you. Name's Valian. Would love to talk, but we gotta get to combat classes. Grim and I are headed to Sensei's class, Mei, I know you do ranged... Zipper, Sugarshe, do you do small arms or ranged? Either way, we need to go now." It was clear that the idea of being late was a very terrifying one to the boy as he grabbed his bag and jumped up, already heading toward the door as he spoke.

Who I'm with; My apprentice


What I'm doing: Welcoming


Imalia looked up from the components on her desk and smiled a bit weakly. "James... Yes, feel free to enter. As your mistress I am open to you above all other students." She gestured and, with her movement, a chair drew itself up before her desk. "What is troubling you?" She looked tired, as if she had aged several years, possibly decades, since he'd seen her only an hour before.

Who I'm With: Why'nn, HK, nurses


What I'm Doing: Talking To Why'nn


Connor finished the broth from his soup and set the bowl back down on the tray. He knew he wouldn't be able to swallow anything solid for at least the rest of the day. He sat there for a moment, then turned to Why'nn. He wanted to talk to her, but he knew she hadn't exactly been communicative since she began trying to move her arm. Whether or not she didn't want to talk to him or she just wanted to focus, he wasn't sure. After a few moments of inner debate, he finally spoke to her. 'Why'nn? Are you okay? I hope you aren't upset with me...I can't help be feel that you losing your arm is my fault...' He gave her a look of remorse as he continued. 'If I hadn't said those things to her about her universe, she wouldn't have lost her temper...' He didn't think that there would be much of anything she could say that would make him feel like it wasn't his fault.

Who I'm with: Mistress Imalia (@folclor )


What I'm doing: Asking questions


James's eyes widened at the sight of Mistress Imalia looking so rough. The nerves he'd had before opening the door slipped away from him as he quickly approached her desk a look of concern on her face.


"Mistress Imalia... are you okay?"


James wasn't sure if this was a major problem, or merely part of the routine. Nervous, and not entirely sure what to do, James sat down and asked one of the questions that had been bothering him.


"It's um... It's about the binding earlier Mistress... You said I'd be bound to you and the Headmistress, then you'd ask me to do something I wouldn't like... But I only recall being bound to you and the Headmistress. Do I just... not remember part of the ritual. Or... is a part of it not over yet?"


James frowned as he said the last words. At this point a large part of his brain was telling him that his problems weren't that important, he needed to help Mistress Imalia. But at the same time... She seemed oddly calm. James could only wait for his Mistress to answer.

Who I'm with: Connor, Sensei, HK-50-01, and the nurses


What I'm doing: Talking to Connor


As spirits took their dishes away, Why'nn looked over at Connor. Why did everyone feel guilty for what was obviously her fault? Outwardly, she sighed. 'You were in pain. I would still have attacked. We do not know whether my injury was payment for striking her or something else. Both you and HK-50-01 have grief for something you had no control over.' Visions of crawling into bed with him entered her mind and she blushed brightly, looking away. Sensei was still in the room and there was no reason to show that sort of affection while he was here. Still, Connor would be able to see her desires. 'I am only glad you aren't permanently hurt. I know a prayer that might help...' The girl still averted her eyes as thoughts of crawling into bed turned into the desire for a warm embrace. The blush grew and she bit her lip.

"Normally I wouldn't let you see me like this. It is a normal part of me. I will renew by tomorrow. Worry not, dear boy. Take a seat for me." She smiled at him as the wrinkles on her face seemed to smooth a little. "No. I meant I may have to ask you to do things you will not like in the future. Painful things that may well hurt you." She sighed, dropping a powder into a mug of streaming water and stirring it until it disappeared. Taking the mug in her hands, imalia looked over the top at him. "Is that really what you wanted to ask? I sense you have more on your mind..."
