Academy for Rejected Souls (Multiverse, OC)

[Grim Wraithe Stjerna]

Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Violet and Valian


What I'm doing: Having a great time


Feeling her press down with her foot, the otter pressed up, adding some momentum to her backflip. He rolled forward onto his feet holding his axes crossed before him. He glanced over his shoulder at Valian. "Hey bratheh. Nae ye can watch." He smirked and watched her bounce. "Aye lass, let's go." Grim quick stepped to her right side, his left axe reaching out to hook her wrist and twist it out to the side, his right axe came in low to the outside of her right knee, to hook it and sweep it out from under her. If this worked Violet would be on her back with her right arm extended above her. The otter would be above her with hos right axe coming down at her face.


If it didn't work the otter would be slightly over extended, but not completely of off guard; with both arms out and bent slightly forward.

 

[StartingOver]

Location: Arena


Who I'm with: grim, new fella


What I'm doing : OW!


Violet let out a small cry when she smacked the ground. It stunned her for a moment. She looked up to see the axe coming down at her head. Her left hand was free and she brought it up catching the Axe by the blade. Normally you'd think a axe vs a hand would go to the Axe, but it never touched her skin. The blue aura or energy around her hand allowed her to stop the blade. Her iris's now shown a bright blue. She pulled her feet up and coiled them before having them explode into his chest. She pushed him off and over her.

Location: My chambers


Who I'm with: My apprentice


What I'm doing: Explaining


"You never trust a demon, James. They're chaotic. You never make an agreement with a chaotic force like that. Fall in love if you must, produce children if you must. But enter an agreement? That is a new level of idiotic." Imalia scowled at her apprentice. "You will break the contract. I do not care if you continue to date her, but you must break the contract."


Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Grim and some girl


What I'm doing: Kicking back and watching


Valian grinned, sitting up on the side while they were training. He clapped at the acrobatics. This was nice, relaxing, fun. Maybe he could fight whoever came out on top. This was great! He kicked back, wishing he had some popcorn. Hopefully there'd be concessions at the tournament. Though he'd be fighting, he would have some time before his matches.

Location: Imalia's Chambers/ Dorms


Who I'm with: Mistress Imalia (@folclor ), Sugarshe (@mewbot5408 )


What I'm doing: Understanding/ Explaining


James nodded his head, a slight frown on his face. He stood from the couch and began walking towards the door.


"I understand Mistress... I'll go... I'll go let her know. Thank you for your advice."


With that he left the room, and walked down the stairs to the dorm rooms, where he hoped he'd still be able to find Sugarshe.


"Um... Sugar." James called, "We... we need to talk about something."

 

[Grim Wraithe Stjerna]

Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Violet and Valian


What I'm doing: Win-sonofacrap!


Grim was grinning, happy that the maneuver worked. Though he was surprised she managed to catch the blade, but was very confused when he realised he was upside down. But what really caught him of off guard was the lack of air in his lungs. Violet's kick had more power then he expected.


But rather then trying to stop his movement, the otter rolled with it and came to his feet several feet away from Violet. "Nice lass!" Still trying to catch his breath the otter took a defensive stance and waited for her to attack.

 

[StartingOver]

Location: Arena


Who I'm with:Grim... Is he clapping?


What I'm doing: just getting started!


Violet put her hands over her head and pushed upwards nipping up to her feet. She turned and gave a nod to Grim. "Ditto." She took a few breathes before unleashing a barrage of blasts his way with both hands. She then stoped and put both hands together and let out one bigger blast with both hands pressed together.

 

[Grim Wraithe Stjerna]

Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Violet and Valian


What I'm doing: Really!? Dodging


The otter caught his breath in the span of time she got to her feet. As the first of the barrage flew towards him, the nimble mammal lunged to the right side that ended in a roll, his fur slightly singed; he pushed off with his right foot charging at her hoping to get to her before she can recover and shoot energy blasts again.


If he did get close, his left axe would come down and hook her left wrist, and twist it down and around her back as he continued past. His right axe would come up to under her chin, the blade pressed against her skin.


If he didn't get close enough Grim would try and duck or deflect the blasts.

 

[folclor]

Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Grim and some girl


What I'm doing: Having some fun


Valian decided now would be an opportune time to add something fun in. He concentrated, causing it to appear to the two fighting as if a shadow just flew between them. Slow. He'd start slow. Just a shadow. From there he would build. His particular type of magic didn't require words spoken or hand movements. If either of them looked at him they'd see him enjoying the fight, though he had to fake a look of shock at the appearance of the "shadow."

Where: dorms


With: james


Doing: breaking contract


The shadow floated into the mirror and sugarshe exhaled deeply with her hand against her head. She looked up at james before crossing her arms with a sigh. "before you speak I want you to know my soul's name is lucillia and I have rather developed strong feelings for you so I'm going to destroy the contract....." she says and takes out the paper and rips it in two burning into ash and the symbol vanished. "do what you wish.....I can't bare to drag you into things like this, it'd be stupid to. I love you and I want you to decide for yourself if you still want to be with me in the future...."she says finishing her words with a blush looking at him with her red eyes. she pushes her purple hair away from her face and moves her arms down to her sides. "now what was it you needed to talk about? I apologize for interrupting, I just had been thinking about a lot lately...." she says looking down.

Location: First floor hallway/The Arena


Who I'm with: Connor/Connor, Violet, and two guys


What I'm doing: Heading back to the kitchen/Watching


After Why'nn and Connor dropped Z off with the nurses, the two were free to go. Why'nn wanted to go back, eat another muffin, and hang out with HK-50-01, but as they passed the arena, she caught sight of Violet sparring with the otter boy she'd seen many times. 'I want to see what's going on here... Maybe we can get some training in as well.' She smiled, grabbing Connor's hand and pulling him into the arena. "Violet, do you mind if we wa-" Just then a shadow passed between the two combatants. 'Uh... What was that?'

Location: Dorms


Who I'm with: Sugarshe (@mewbot5408 )


What I'm doing: Hugging her


James stood perfectly still for a moment, just staring at her as he tried to process what had just happened. Then, without saying a word, he walked over to Sugarshe and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her close and giving her a long, passionate kiss, running his hands down her back and up her neck. After a while, he pulled his lips away and hugger her closer, resting his head against her chest, as he wasn't really tall enough to rest against her shoulder. A few tears fell from his eyes as he held her before he finally spoke.


"I am so relieved that you said that... When Mistress Imalia was talking to me, she saw the mark and ordered me to break the contract, and I was so afraid you wouldn't want to be with me after that... That this was really all just some business deal to you like Mistress said."


James tilted his head up and looked Sugarshe in the eyes before kissing her again, more gently this time.


"I don't know if you want me to call you Sugarshe, or Sugar, or Lucillia, or anything else... But I want you to know that I've never felt as close to anyone as I do to you, and I wouldn't want to give that up for anything. If you can forgive me for being an idiot earlier... I want to spend as many of the potentially infinite years of my life with you as I can. That is, assuming you can put up with me for that long."

 

[SeraphiumVirus]

(For some reason I wasn't getting notifications?...)


Location: Kaiserin, then Arena


Who: Myself, but voiceless since Zeni still had mine, and god knows where they went


What: Wanting to see the skills of students, maybe scouting for a new apprentice.


Acantha had gone back before things and gotten too intense, and decided that leaving the Lundes with her voice wouldn't be too bad, the most they'd probably do is whisper things into unknowing first year students, simply for the pleasure of scaring them.


This solitude was nice, yes, as Kaiserin had been transformed from a dusty secret floor under the greenhouse into a miracle of a botany and chemistry lab, with things constantly brewing or having magic performed on it. Speaking of magic, her superiors in the underworld recently contacted her about her pursuits in her Miracle Saint Soldier plan, also know as "SignumMai", or "SiM" the shorthand for "Miracle Solider" in Latin.


She had consistently updating Nishira on it, with all the proper ingredients being secretly brought in and Acantha slowly evaluating it. The only issue now was a proper test subject, maybe more than one preferable, as she wanted to see if it could work on a larger scale.


But for this to happen, she mused, they'd need to be strong, in all regards. In fact, they needed to impress her. And what better time to scout than a time like this? Who knows, maybe she'll get an apprentice as well, and show that ungrateful boy Connor the power he'd missed...as well as the fact that he'd be failing his Botony I project soon, as the plants simply didn't appreciate his presence at all.


Acantha set out to the Arena, with only Arlight joining her, as she happened to pass by them on the way there, and they perched themselves on her shoulder. She found her way to the stands, and gazed at the other students having their own fun time, smiling at them when they looked at her.


It was Arlight that started to pull some strings in the back, them refining a small, but potent aura to be more tangible around Aca, and the mental message of "I'm prepared to see who could beat me...Oh they'd impress Headmistress and I so much. They'd have no idea how much power they could get if they're good enough now.."


Of course, her voice being gone, it'd be difficult to communicate physically, but the message got across clearly enough. She went from the viewing space to the side of the battle center, and gazed up at the students, observing them all.

 

[HK Fifty]

Position : Kitchen/hallway


Companions : Reagan , Zipper , then No one , and finally Why'nn and Connor.


Engaging in : finishing up and trying to leave before promises must be kept


HK-50-01 watched Reagan rapidly do dishes , with some phsycotic smile he would most likely possess if he actually had any facial expressions. The dishes were washed extremely fast - Not as fast as he himself could , but faster than she already was doing them earlier. Oh great , she's going to have to invade my workshop sooner than I can just leave and find Why'nn. Lovely... Maybe I should've killed her! He sighed audibly as he noticed the last half-score of dishes was sitting farther away.


Zipper strode in and asked how he was doing - using HK instead of HK-50 or HK-50-01 like most of his other friends did when greeting him - and had a smile and an upward tail. These were both expressions of happiness from the cobbled together creature , one of them Specific to her alone. Oh yes , I am doing fine. Having to supervise over eager fools while my friends are off where I can't even find them. How wonderful! He didn't know what the Raxus I Zipper was researching and at this moment didn't care - Zipper was too clingy to be as good a friend as even little Flal was. And already angry , he watched her get a candy bar as Reagan was on her last dish.


Throwing his hands up - literally - he walked off at a brisk pace towards the first floor hallway. He failed to locate Why'nn , so instead he just... Found a corner and tried to gather his thoughts. He was too stressed out today , and very relfective. Hopefully Reagan won't follow me here... Hopefully Zipper won't lead Reagan here.. I wouldn't want someone like Reagan in my Workshop , my precious and glorious workshop.. With his thoughts somewhat gathered and calmed slightly down by being by himself , he walked off again in the general direction of the Arena and the Infirmary... And located Why'nn! She was with Connor , as well.


He came behind the two and threw his large arms over the two - he was more than a foot taller than each of them - and began speaking in a happy tone. "Relief : oh thank Lord Malak and all his Disciples that I found you. I was about to have to take that Reagan being to my workshop - because she wouldn't do fripping dishes otherwise. How are you two? Everything well I trust? Of course I've only not been with you two the past thirty minutes... I feel stressed today for some reason , actually. I have hardly any idea why... Other than my general reflectivity bringing up feelings best left forgotten."

"Business dealings?" Sugarshe asked raising a eyebrow. She exhaled kissing him back both times with a small relieved laugh. "Of course I want to be with you,dummy." She says with a little exhale moving back taking his hand in hers. "Also call me as you always do, my soul name shouldn't be said around others," she tells him.

What I'm doing: Being happy/ Accepting a challenge


James nodded happily.


"Okay Sugar..."


James hugged her for a few more moments, then pulled away. He smiled at her with a somewhat sad look.


"Well... Mistress also says I have to compete in the tournament, so... I'm gonna go to the Arena to look for trouble. You're welcome to come join me."


James smiled at her and waved as he walked out of the dorms. He made his way down the stairs until he got to the arena, where he saw Grim and Violet sparring as Valian and Acantha watched. Then, he heard Acantha's challenge ring in his mind. While James was a bit nervous to fight a teacher, he did like the thought of impressing the Headmistress. Maybe she'd teach him some more advanced magic. Besides, if he wanted to get ready for the tournament, a teacher was probably the best candidate to test his strength against.


James steeled his nerves before he stepped forward into the arena, sword at his side. He looked at Acantha and raised his hand, albeit somewhat meekly.


"Um... I'll accept your challenge."

Who I'm with: Sieghart (@TommyGun15 )


What I'm doing: Asking about coffee


Delrick picked up his cup of coffee and frowned, noticing it was empty. While he normally would have simply refilled it, he'd been meaning to talk with the chef about stronger coffee. He closed his book and set it down on the coffee table as he stood. Heading for the door, he carried his favorite coffee cup and made his way along the corridors towards the kitchens.


His route took him past the arena, the monk only paused for a moment to look in when he saw the usual crowd. 'Mr. Shell has good form, but Miss Carver is keeping him off balance.' He thought then continued towards his goal.


Delrick knocked on the door to the kitchen, calling out. "Sieghart? Are you here?" He would wait for a response before entering, but not over long. He understood not wanting intrusions into his domain.

Location: The Arena (Why'nn/Valian)


Who I'm with: HK-50-01 (@HK 50 09), Violet (@StartingOver), James (@TommyGun15), The botany teacher I don't know (@HanaJuni), and a couple other students (@Grim Wraith Stjerna) (Why'nn)/ Grim, some girl, Miss Acantha, a not so smart firstie, the firstie I saw get her head caved on (Valian)


What I'm doing: Watching


As HK-50-01 put his arm around her, she smiled and snuggled into him, then grabbed his arm and pulled him into the arena. Why'nn figured there was no harm in watching, so she pulled HK-50-01 along and found them a seat. As she felt no need to fight a teacher, she kept her mouth shut and decided to watch James. She sat far enough away from the golden-haired boy that she hoped he wouldn't bother her. "We had to take Z to the infirmary, so it is no problem." After they sat, Why'nn snuggled up to the droid, sitting in his lap as she watched the two fighting. "Hopefully... things will be interesting today..." The humdrum of routine was getting to her.

Who I'm with: Delrick (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna )


What I'm doing: Saying hello


Sieghart heard a knock at the kitchen door just as he was sitting down to enjoy the brief rest period he got between mealtimes. He walked over to the door and opened it to find one of the instructors outside his door, whose name Sieghart was fairly sure was Delrick.


"Delrick, if am not mistaken? Come in, come in. What brings you to my kitchen? It seems you mostly remain in your classroom, or the Arena."

~~~zipper~~


Where: hallway


With: nobody


Doing: feeling lonely


Zipper walked out of the kitchen losing her appetite again and three away the chocolate bar. She exhaled. Everyone had been avoiding her lately which bugged her a bit. All she wanted was to have someone to talk to every once in a little while it wasn't like she expected much. She understood if people needed space but still this was a little too much. She tried to put on a cheerful front she really did but it was getting harder to fake. She even immersed herself in studies and art as a distraction but it stop her from getting worse. She started laughing with wide eyes going into a fit of giggles summoning her scissors with wide eyes. "FRIENDS! FRIENDS! We can all be friends!!!!!!!!! My friends! Mother you see I'm so God damn happy!!! I'm happy!!! Happy!!" She screams loudly and stabs them into the wall several times before sobbing loudly and bangs her forehead into the wall. "I'm happy! So happy......" She says crouching down with a look like she didn't know what to do with herself. "...so happy huh? I'm a idiot...I'm probably better off alone.. "She mutters with a exhale.


~~sugarshe~~


Where: arena


With; everyone there

Sugarshe followed her boyfriend to the area and sat in the stands. "Come on babe kick their butt!!" She yells cheering him on. She smirks and stands up. "Whoo! Yes!!" She yells getting pumped for the fight.

 

[SeraphiumVirus]

Location: Arena


Who: James (@TommyGun15 ), any other student who may wish to join me


What: Accepting this challenge, very happy to see the students strength


Acantha heard the feeble acceptance of her challenge, and she almost jumped in her place. Arlight hushed at her to control her excitement, and Acantha leaped into the air, landing directly into a starting position in a battle arc.


She flexed her arms and arched her back in preparation, summoning her staff and Arlight leaping down from her shoulders and curling into a small ball at her feet. "James is your name? Please, darling, do come forth!" Arlight's muffled voice said addressing the boy, reminding Acantha that at the moment she couldn't speak.


Her staff stood nearly a third of the ways taller than her, riddled with parasitic underworld plants, as well as a precious stone which glowed an eerie velvet green. She assumed a basic readiness position, and nodded her head to allow him to go first.

Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Acantha (@HanaJuni ), spectators


What I'm doing: Fighting


James looked warily at Acantha's staff. Those plants didn't look friendly. Actually, they sort of looked familiar.


"Those plants on your staff... I think you might've shown us a few of them in class... They're parasitic, right? I'll make sure to watch out for that."


Suddenly, a blinding flash of light shone from James's body before he seemed to explode into a mess of flailing body parts as at least two dozen copies of himself walked, ran, and jumped from where he stood. Within seconds they'd surrounded Acantha, taking various unarmed battle positions around the arena and a few even straying into the stands.


All the way in the back, one of the copies was peeking out from behind the stands, seemingly trying to avoid notice.

 

[SeraphiumVirus]

Location: Arena


Who: James, Arlight


What: Duking it out


A flash emitted from the boy's body, and dozens of copies of him scattered about the Arena. She held a smug grin on her face, and Arlight popped out of their fetal ball, their eyes and wings clearly far more menacing, almost soulless.


Acantha pursued her lips, and looked at the name tag, then the nails before laughing again and jumping far up in the air, a small trail of vines leaving it behind her. Large flowers bloomed from them, and they intertwined in order to balance the heavy flora.


The vines also snaked onto the ground, almost entirely covering the ground, and the flowers also growing on them. Acantha took her place at the top, and Arlight started scathing the duplicates, as his master took out her spellbook and patiently looked for a spell.

Who I'm with: Acantha (@HanaJuni )


What I'm doing: Summoning


James eyed the flowers warily as he prepared his spell, neither him, nor any of his copies moving. He silently thanked Imalia for teaching him how to cast without sound, movement, or components as he simply thought the incantation.


In the air above Acantha, a small dark portal, ringed with flames opened up. Behind it was the burning hellscape of fire, ash, and smoke that was the magical plane of fire. From this portal, something emerged.


It was a small mass of fire, shaped like a bat with a four ft. wingspan. It darted out of the portal, opening it's mouth to emit a sound like the hiss of crackling flames. Glaring down at Acantha, it dive-bombed her with burning claws extended.

What I'm doing: Asking about coffee


Delrick chuckled a little and nodded. "You are correct on all accounts." He entered the kitchen and looked around, being impressed with how he had established the room. "I hope I'm not disturbing you." He noticed the table and that it appeared the chef had been trying to relax. "I would like to talk to you about coffee." The monk waved his hand to an empty chair. "May I join you?"

Sieghart motioned for Delrick to come inside as he headed back into the kitchen.


"Feel free to take a seat. I can make you some coffee if you would like some. I usually drink either tea of siegbrau myself. There is no risk of getting intoxicated, thought there are times when I wish I could."


Without even waiting for an answer, Sieghart headed over to the stove and began the preparations for making a pot of coffee.
