What he's doing:Walking to the front office


"So... Here we are Ki Ki..." *Kiya looks at him* "That's right Master." *Richard looks at her* Don't call me that... makes me feel weird, let's get going."


*Picks up duffle bag and walks to reception* "Oh... Sadly I'm going to need you to, poof away Kiya... I don't know if they'll allow you in..." *Kiya looks at him* "I understand..." *She then poofs away with a flash of red yellow and black*


*Richard sighs* "Took me forever to get her here, now it'll take forever to do it again..." *Reaches the front door and walks in*

Who I'm with: Frank (@Pinkalyn)


What I'm doing: Talking


Nishira watched the shard leave, his comment about student deaths almost making her laugh. Thankfully Acantha listened this time and left the room. While the headmistress wanted to play, she still had business.


As she heard Frank, she turned her attention to the man. "I have quite a bit of work for you to do." She approached him. "There is one student I'll be strengthening on my own. You should start any strengthening with these students." Nishira handed him a paper. Upon it was written for names.


Why'nn Canthet


Violet Carver


Valian Hallowsworn


Grim Shell





"I would add more to the list, but it is not the time yet. You are free to be as rough as necessary. I know you prefer a gentle hand, but the girls and the otter will fight you. I want them improved. The first on the list... You will be splicing her genes with those of other humanoids. She will be my back up. I need her on this path as immediately as possible."





Location: The Arena


Who I'm with: Grim (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna ) and Violet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: Watching


Valian knew the look of a dangerous anger when he saw one. That girl had a lot more to her than his friend believed. Valian would worry if Grim wasn't so capable. Still, he knew a bit of the otter's background. Was it safe for him to be involved with someone so volatile? The boy glanced, sidelong, at Grim. If nothing else, Valian made a silent promise right then to protect his brother.


Location: Father's chambers


Who I'm with: Father


What I'm doing: Leaving?


Why'nn knew she should leave now, go to the Arena, see who was there. But she wanted to spend more time with Father.





"Do you have time to train me today, Father? Can we work on forms and meditations? I would like to strengthen my mind like you do yours. I want to learn your ways. I have been studying Lord Jergal... but I... Father, I would like to be like you."

With: Kiya the Wolf


What:Waiting to talk about classes


*Looks around* "...And now I'm guessing I wait for someone to show me around..." *Richard sits down on a chair and opens his bag* "Let's see..." *He grabs a large old world book about this thing called 'Black Hawk down'. The book was kinda rotted, but still readable*


"Now where my CD player... *He begins to shuffle around in his bag and found it under a old T-shirt* "And my CD is already in it, nice..." *He plugs in a pair of headphones and listens to music quietly*


*A song that reminds him of old times comes on* //This world will never be, what I expected.. And if I don't belong, who would have guessed it...// *Tears begin to well up, then a flash of blue black and dark purple* "Master please calm down." *Kiya's voice was in my head, echoing, her voice nice and peaceful, like a child's* "What did I tell you? Dang it Kiya, you're going to get be in trouble!" *Richard balls his right and opens it on her head, forcing her to go away*


*He starts to regret doing that when an image flashes in his eyes, the face of his best friend when she saw him summon Kiya, scared and angry, as she shot at him* *Another flash* "Master, it wasn't your fault! Please calm down." *Kiya said, and Richard looked at her* "You're...You're right...


Just so long as everyone there is safe, I'm happy that I'm not with them." *Kiya sits in front of him and lays her head on his leg, her black fur fluffy as ever, and her bright white eyes lighting her face* "You're just so cute, you know that?", "You tell me that almost everyday Master" *Richard starts to get annoyed* "Sorry... Richy.", "Thank you." *He begins to pet her*


"I wonder if they will allow you to just wounder around with me. Because it's a pain in the ass to bring you here." *Kiya looked at him* "You're going to have to ask, because, you know...", "Right."


"I still remember you, before you became a ghostly animal. Khaki and white, still a pit bull. Now you're a black hell hound." *She growled* "I'm not a hell hound!" *She shouted inside his head* "Ow! Alright Alright! I'm sorry..." *She narrowed her eyes at him* "You should be nice to me y'know?" *Richard slouches in the chair, and Kiya lays next to him, knowing he doesn't pay attention to where he's putting his legs when he's anxious*

What I'm doing: Trying to make a staff


James looked at the Lundes, but found no answer forthcoming, though now there was a snowy owl perch on top of a nearby chair. The cage that Vince had been in was also suspiciously empty, and suspiciously ripped apart. James walked up to the owl and held out his hand. The own responded by hopping onto him and fluttering up to his shoulder. James gently began to stroke the bird's head.


"I think I'll call you Artemis."


The owl leaned into his hand to be petted better, letting out a small hoot at the sound of her new name. James looked back at the lundes.


"Thank you. So, Acantha told me to make a staff. How should I go about doing that?"

Location: Nishira's office


With: Nishira ( @folclor )


Doing: What must be done


Mood: Excited


It was finally time. After such a long wait, Frank was being given an assignment. Not just that, but an important one! He looked at the list of names several times to engrain it into his head, memorizing every letter, every syllable. It was almost perfect. What was more, to be given a subject that was of significant importance to Ms Auros. He would have to draw up a number of plans and new runes for this, a great number of tests to be performed, a somewhat smaller number of test subjects to procure. Splicing on its own wasn't any difficult task of course, but the results could take years to present themselves on their own. Frank was patient, but not that patient.


"Of course, Mistress. I will take utmost care not to damage your potential vessel... where it can be helped. Where it can't.." Frank raises his chin, no hint of a smile on his face, but rather a gleam of calm confidence in his eye, "Well, you wouldn't have me here if you were uncertain of my ability to attain positive results. If damage can't be helped, repairs and reinforcements will be made. Long live the Mistress." it's only now that Frank gives a hint of a smile, tugging up one side of his lips. It was time to pull up some records, some contacts, and perhaps a cadaver or two. Frank couldn't wait to make some new discoveries. If Nishira didn't offer more for him, he'd see himself out of the office, but only after a respectful moment or two to ensure there aren't any other pressing tasks to be given.

Who I'm with: Valian (@folclor ) & Violet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: Hugging


Grim nodded as Violet finished her blasts, he knew she was trying to push herself and work off some anger. He shook his head slowly as he walked up to her, very impressed with her determination and energy level. When he got close enough he wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Lass, ye be alright?" His paws gently rubbing her back, he could feel the residual anger in her. Grim looked to Valian while he held her, smiling and giving a little shrug, he was glad Valian was there.


Location: My Chamber


Who I'm with: My Daughter


What I'm doing: Agreeing to train


Delrick stood straight and nodded, he knew she was making excellent progress in her clerical studies. But he knew she would need good mental defences against other mages and clerics. "Yes, I have time today. There is nothing pressing on me now that your glove is finished." He sipped his coffee and waved to the door, taking a step towards it. "Though do you not wish to spend time with Mr. Shaw, and see what he wanted to show you?" He was not dismissing her, he was glad she wanted to focus on her training and wanted to help her get stronger. This was kind of a small test to see what she truly wanted.

What I'm doing: Dismissing


"I know gene splicing usually takes years to show but if you add this concoction in, they should show in a matter of months." Nishira handed him a vial of rose-colored liquid. "I'd like to say 'days' but my last researcher... well..." She shrugged. "Needless to say, this is necessary to your experiments. There is another student, James Belgarion, who I will tend to personally. I may send him to you occasionally, but only when something more surgical is needed. For now, feel free to go. You'll find a room for yourself on the third floor. It will know what you need."

What I'm doing: Deciding


Why'nn frowned at the shift of subject to Connor. "He..." She looked down. "Father, I assume this is simply the way romances work but... I feel stifled. He got very jealous when I desired time spent with Violet. I do not know what I am to do about this. However, that all stated I do not wish to go find him at this moment. I desire training." 'Connor can wait...'

What's happening:Getting ready to meet Nishira(@folclor)


"...Do you want to go talk to the headmistress Ma-Richy?" *Richard looks at Kiya* "Is she even here?", "Go knock on her door." *Richard unplugs his headphones and puts them inside the duffle bag* "Alright... I guess I'll go do that." *Zips bag and stands up* "Do you want me to wait for you?" *Kiya said within Richards skull* "Um... No, let's go introduce ourselves." *He slings his bag over his shoulder and walks to the headmistresses office and almost knocks when he hears two voices*


"Oh she's already talking with someone. It'd be rude to knock." *Richard walks back to his chair and sits down and waits patiently* "So... How's life being...bleh?" *He moves his hand around in a circle directed towards Kiya being a supernatural being with a half living body* "I mean... I don't have to eat or drink... So, that's good." *Richard smiles* "And you don't stink anymore so that's also a plus." *Kiya growls* "Shut up. You still have to bath." *Richard chuckles*


"Yeah, but that's just because it was hot and humid where we used to live" *She sits down and narrows her eyes* "Did you get a girl?", "You kinda ruined it so...no." *She giggles in his head* "Ah! Please don't do that again... That's just creepy!" *Kiya laughed* "What? It's not like I'm a ghost or anything...Wait.", "Nope, I'm calling it, and calling you stupid." *They shared a laugh*


"So, how was life after I died?" *Kiya asked, bring a whole flourish of memories* "It was uh... Kinda lonely, savaging got tough and the house was quiet." *Kiya lays her head on his foot* "Sorry I left so soon.", "All good, it was your time, but you were given another, half chance." *Richard takes out his book and reads it without headphones*

Who I'm with- my otter, some other dude.


What I'm doing- getting back to normal.


Violet dropped her arms by her side and let her head rest on Grim's chest. Something about the big Otter pacfied Violet. Maybe it was because she was in love with him. She sighed but didn't look up. "I won't be bound tonight or ever." She said. "I can be myself and be with you."

 

[SeraphiumVirus]

Location: Kaiserin


Who: Zenlight, Artemis, James (@TommyGun15)


What: Helping the boy pick a staff


Arlight regarded the similarly fluffy white figure in the room, and bowed their head politely. Zeni did the same, and soon spoke to James "Yes. Staves are the most efficient way of keeping the plants with you in such a way that doesn't involve embedding the plants into your very skin."


"Trust me, very few people can achieve that sort of resistance in the body. The plants require quite a bit of energy." Arlight finished off, while directing the boy to another small room, though a floor shallower than the otherwise two story deep Kaiserin.


"All the trees madame has found most potent, are in this room behind you. However, you may only go in once, and leave once. No other entrances will be tolerated. Madame would eat your head gladly if you went in again, she's got quite a bit of works in there."


"Take your plants, Spatium, Firefern, Dragoneye, and Peach Pit Hollycock, and try to get a feel of their energy flow. That flow will attuned you to a tree trunk in that room. Mark it with a knife, but preferably not deep. Madame will fashion the stave when she returns."


//


Acantha still lounged around, and groaned when she heard McDreamy and Nishi talking business. To indicate her frustration, she began to snoop around in the room, going from the bedroom, to the bath, to Nishira's closet. She looked at the headmistress' clothing briefly, only comparing how much larger the lich was in comparison to her new smaller body, which stood at a mighty five feet, half an inch. Man that'd be hard to live down.


She took to growing all sorts of small plants out of her fingers, and had the nasty little idea of making sure they knew she was bored, and wanted something. She pressed her hands to the wall, and allowed ivy to go from her fingers, through the cracks, and snake into the edge of the office, before she cut it off from her body, and collapsed on a loveseat.

Location: The Kaiserin


Who I'm with: Zenlight (@HanaJuni )


What I'm doing: Choosing a tree


James nodded and gathered his plants into pots before entering the room, walking among the various trees with a plant encyclopedia tucked under his arm. He recognized a few of them. Yew? No. Oak? Maybe... no. Ironwood? Tempting... but no, it just didn't feel right. He reached up his hand, running his fingers through some of the low leaves. Then he ran his fingers through the branches of a tree whose leaves looked similar to the branches of a fern, and without warning the leaves of the plant folded together and closed. He withdrew his hand with a start, and looked at the tree.


It was a small tree, and a bit thin. It was dwarfed by the other trees. His curiosity piqued, James looked down at the label on the tree.


"Mimosa? Huh..? Where have I heard of that before?"


James flipped open the encyclopedia to the page on Mimosa trees. He read aloud.


"Mimosa. One of the few plants capable of rapid movement, this tree's fern-like leaves are known to close when they sense danger. They are also known to raise when the sun is out, and lower when it becomes dark. The wood of the tree is dark reddish brown, and known to be very dense, durable, and strong. The bark of the Mimosa tree is dark brown, and is one of the key ingredients in the drink Ayahuasca, one of the most powerful hallucinogenic drugs known to man."


James nodded, pulled a pocketknife from his bag, and made a shallow mark on the trunk of the tree. Then he took his plants and left the room.


"Alright, I've done it." James said as he took the plants and replanted them in the garden.


"I'll just, be going now... See you later."


James let Artemis hop onto his shoulder, and walked out of the room.

What I'm doing: Taking a break


"I trust you'll show yourself out. Feel free to use your classroom or your quarters to conduct your procedures. I'm going to go have some fun, myself."


Nishira left her office, the door shutting and disappearing behind her, and entered her bedroom. "Aca, dear, come here." With a bit of annoyance, she noticed the vines and sighed. Of course. You can't be with a witch and not have these things happen. Still, a smile crept across her face. She wouldn't be angry at the woman.


As the headmistress stepped further into her room, she removed her outer layer of robes, leaving her clothed in a tight, silky dress as she sat upon the bed and patted the spot next to her.

Character: Frank Estello


Location: Office -> Hallway


With: Nishira ( @folclor ) and kinda Acantha ( @HanaJuni ) and Tetsuko


Doing: Considering his next move


Mood: Pensive


Frank was just about to open the door when a splotch of color caught his attention from the corner of his eye. Plants snaking into the office... didn't really seem too much to be Nishira's style. He quickly surmised that it must be the work of the young woman who Nishira had taken to scolding earlier, but that brought several questions to mind. A wood nymph? Perhaps a bit larger than what he'd read about, but that was an interesting thought. He made a mental note to track her down again, probably soon. He found new creatures absolutely fascinating.


But he also had to keep his mind on his work. At least mostly. Drawing his pocket watch from his coat, the Doctor examined the time closely. It wasn't correlated to time in the Academy, which would likely seem odd to most, but it seemed to glean Frank some unknown quantity of information, because almost immediately after he put it away, letting himself out into the hall to make his way towards what Nishira seemed to have described as his own personal room of requirement. He hardly even took note of the girl barreling down the hallway past him as he moved. A quick, simple side step and he was out of her way, meaning she was no more of a bother to him than the wall to which he briefly hugged.


Character: Tetsuko


Location: Hallways


With: People (Frank)


Doing: Stuff


Mood: Moody


For a girl carrying around a large metallic cannon, Tetsuko was oddly nimble as she navigated the hallways. Turning a corner suddenly, sliding a few inches, and then bolting in a new direction several times. She seemed like she might be lost and late, except that she didn't once stop to investigate her surroundings or location. With every turn she felt the presence getting stronger.. closer. She rushed by a well dressed man coming out from a conspicuous looking door, but paid little mind to him except to note that he was swift in dodging her.


He wasn't her concern, though. She had a singular focus. An unwavering commitment to her hunt. She.. would.. succeed..


Turning one more corner she draws her gun suddenly from her back, the cannon almost as large as she is if stood on its end, and begins to fire a barrage of bullets down an otherwise empty hallway. No luck, the quarry was already gone. A few bullet marks in the wall told her that she'd failed once again. The mouse had eluded her.


Groaning in frustration she took the cannon from her hip and locked it into place on her back. In her mind she could see that mouse, wandering around.. scurrying.. she had always hated mice and rats. The school likely didn't have any sort of infestation but to her slightly twisted mind she could hear them down the corridors, in the walls, always just out of sight.

James was surprised when a sudden hail of bullets crashed into the wall a few feet in front of him. He threw up a shield barrier around himself and hugged the wall. Slowly, he peeked out into the hallway to see a girl with a massive cannon cursing at having missed a mouse. James frowned, and stepped out from the hallway, an irritated look on his face.


"Will you please watch where you're firing that thing? You could've hit someone like that. The Headmistress would have your head on a stick, and I don't mean that as an exaggeration."

"Watch-" She says abruptly, a hint of annoyance in her tone, "Watch where /I'm/ firing? I know exactly where I'm firing!" her weapon revs briefly before spitting a few bullets at the ground, seemingly unprovoked. The girl stands up a bit straighter, eyes wide in shock, then tries to turn around to look at the gun without un-holstering it, looking very much like a dog chasing its tail, "Don't you go making me look bad in front of the new food! Just because he's saying mean things doesn't mean you get to tear up the carpets. You know I don't have the money to pay for carpets!" she yells this last part, but the floor in this place is notably hardwood. With a few chips missing out of it now.

I was happily asleep dammit!" *Richard stands up* "Bloody hell... I thought I was getting shot at... I was very wrong...

James looked over at the man who'd walked in with his dog.


"Fourth floor. Can't miss it, it's the only room on that level."


Then he looked back at the girl with the gun. He drew his sword, a bit disturbed at having been called food.


"What is wrong with you? I am not food."

 

[SeraphiumVirus]

Location: Nishi's Chambers


Who: Nishira


What: Having fun! No, wait, these emotions....


She giggled at her mischief, and noticed when the Lich came back in the room, and removed her outer clothes. Acantha perked up on the love seat like a puppy whose master had just returned. When Nishira motioned for the girl to come forward, Acantha scrambled onto the bed, almost tripping over the blanket she had wrapped herself in, and came very close to the lich's body. She immediately hugged the woman, almost like a child would their mother, with her legs wrapped around the other's body, her arms around her waist, and Acantha's face in Nishira's shoulder. The coldness of the lich was comforting, but it only reminded her of what she thought about earlier, her being merely a pawn, and a plaything incapable of feeling any love.


That's when things started to feel a little weird. Acantha felt her lip tremble a little involuntarily, and she felt a tad bit of tears coming from the corners of her eyes, the water going into the lich's dress. Now she wasn't crying, persay, rather silently sobbing lightly, with her hitched breathes and vibrating chest speaking more of her discomfort. And on top of this, she knew exactly what she was to do...she'd try and find that shard. Or perhaps that handsome doctor? Maybe she could get some things out of him, maybe even a partnership! Who knows, maybe he'd find the Kaiserin to be of use. After all, only Nishira, Connor, and James knew about it in this school...

Doing: The most formal greeting you'll get outta her


Tetsuko looks between the two men now gathered, promptly replying to each in turn starting with Richard, "The rats! Gotta kill them before they nibble your earlobes. And I didn't call you food." she turns to James while pointing a thumb over her shoulder at the rear end of her weapon, "It did. It's right though. Kinda stringy, mostly bone... easy to digest. Grind down.. make a good few bullets... no fat though, would need to sift a bit to get combustibles out of him.." she's grown more quiet through the sentence, talking to herself before suddenly, "Hush now! No eating the whiny boy.." now she seems to be scolding herself, rather than the gun but soon she's staring at James intensely, "If I don't eat you, you won't start screaming. If you don't start screaming, the rats won't wake up. If the rats are asleep my earlobes are safe. Yes? Yes. Good good."

*Richard laughs* "...That's the best thing I ever heard in a few years!" *Stares at her* "I'll keep my eyes open... Kiya might eat a few... If she doesn't chicken out!!" *He shouts at the air around him* "Well, I guess I'll see you two around...well...one of you anyways." *Walks to the staircase*


*Kiya appears behind him* "What happened?" *She yawns* "Oh don't try that 'Oh I was sleeping' crap, you! *Richard grabs his bag and looks at the 2 people standing in smoke and chipped walls* "...Let's go, I don't want to be here when she decides to shoot again, I don't have anything that can stop bullets the size of fifty calibers..." *Kiya nods and stretches* "Oh you and your stretching..." *Wait's for her to finish. She sighs* "That's better. Now, are we finally getting a room?" *Richard thought about it for a moment* "I hope so, we don't necessarily have anywhere to go..." *Walks up the first flight of stairs* "Do you think they have old world weapons?" *Kiya slipped on a step* "Ow!" *Richard laughs* "Hope so. I don't think I can use anything other than them."


*Reaches the second* "I'm tired", "I am too... But that little rest on the chair was the best sleep I have had before the raiders attacked the city." *Kiya stops and tilts her head* "Was life after that..that bad?" *Richard nods* "Yeah, when everyone wants to kill you, sleeping with one eye open isn't really the best way to sleep. *Kiya looks down, feeling bad* "I'm sorry.", "Don't be, they're safe, that's all that matters now." *Walks the 2 flights in silence* "Should we knock?" *Richard looks at her* "Um.. Yeah! That's common sense." *Reaches the head mistresses office to see nobody inside* "Ugh! Time to play the waiting game...again..." *Sit's on a chair near the door and puts on headphones, Kiya disappears again*

James reached up and stroked the snowy owl that had been perched on his shoulder. He whispered to it.


"Artemis, go back to my room. I don't want you to get hurt."


The owl flapped it's wings and took off down the hallway, a section of the shield hovering over the bird until it was out of range. Then James looked back at the girl with the gun.


"You. You're dangerous, and I'm starting to think you might be insane. Do we have a problem here, or are you going to cool down and stop threatening people?"

With: James ( @TommyGun15 )


Doing: Being as calm as possible


Mood: Harmless as a kitten


"Threats? No threats. Just warnings and facts. The mice eat ears, the gun eats people. Food is food is food is food... is food food?" she stops ranting to contemplate this suddenly fascinating concept for a few moments... then shrugs and adjusts the cannon, "I'm a weapon. Dangerous is necessary.. always dangerous. If not, then I'd be a useless weapon. Nobody wants a useless weapon. Can't be useless. Can't be nice.. no calm.. gotta be dangerous everywhere.." as she says this she flashes a smile, but the twitch of her fingers betrays how much she wants to grab that weapon and take aim. Slowly she takes a deep breath, "Insane isn't logical for a weapon, weapons can't be insane. Weapons are tools, only their wielders can be insane."

Location: My bedroom


Who I'm with: Acantha (@HanaJuni)


What I'm doing: Something I haven't before


Nishira smiled as the woman curled around her. However, it wasn't long before Acantha began to sob silently. This brought something to the forefront of Nishira's emotional pool that she hadn't felt since her days as a human: concern for another being.


"Aca, darling, what is it?" the lich intoned, her voice that of a concerned lover. Nishira held Acantha tightly, gently stroking her hair. "What's wrong? Was I too harsh earlier? Oh, darling I'm sorry, my temper got the better of me. You aren't a pawn, you aren't a toy." There were three words Acantha likely needed to hear, but Nishira was not sure how to begin saying them. And then another feeling: the desire not to lie to the woman in her arms.

Who I'm with: A crazy girl (@Pinkalyn )


What I'm doing: Asking a question


James listened to her crazed speech, an impassive look on his face. Someone had definitely done a number on this girl, both physically and mentally. But he'd play along, if only it might calm her down.


"Alright, so I guess you're a weapon. Fine then. What is the name of the weapon that stands before me, and who is it's wielder?"


Hopefully, playing along with the delusion would make her a bit more docile.

Character: Tetsuko


Location: Hallway


With: A crazyboy (@TommyGun15 )


Doing: A less formal greeting than before


Mood: Let's find out!


A stifled laughter through clenched teeth. A snort through the nose. Suddenly the girl is having an all out gigglefit in front of James with no immediately apparent cause. "No no no, shhhhhh- ssssshhhhhhhhh- okay okay, listen.. no no.. HAHA! Okay. I am Liar." she says it like she's actually introducing herself, but her attempt at subtle deception is entirely naught in the face of her inability to compose herself... and the fact that she literally used Liar as her name. "And and- uh... I uhm.. wielder..." the smile suddenly fades. Her expression becomes grim and dark.


Her breathing evens out into a slow and steady pace. "My wielder." her mind flashes back to the laboratory where she was 'modified'. The closest thing she'd had to a wielder. A desperate government trying to use her to dig themselves out of a losing war. They wanted the ultimate weapon. She.. was imperfect. Who... who was it.. a flash, a memory she tried to bury again and again.. Chise. 'She was the ultimate weapon. She was submissive to their will. Your mind broke. You gave in. To agony and despair. You only wanted to be strong. Chise wanted to be kind. That's why they loved her and not you. That's why she removed you from existence.'





A single tear rolls down Tetsuko's cheek, her face shifting from somber to terrified. In her mind there's a bright flash of light, and then nothingness. She raises one hand instinctively to block the light that isn't really there, putting a barrier between James and herself. Her breathing returns to its shaky, and unsteady rhythm and she's started to hiccup softly. "I.. I wield me. I wield me! Nobody else will! Nobody else can wield me! Nobody can want me! I'll be the ultimate weapon! I'll destroy! I'll kill it all, I'll kill it all, I'll kill her, I'll kill it all!" suddenly she bellows a deep scream of fury and with agility uncommon for someone carry such a large armament turns on heel to run away from James.

Character: Frank 'Suave' Estello


Location: His new station, the Estello Laboratory


With: His thoughts and whoever might be spying


Doing: Observing his tools


Mood: Cheerful


It was picture perfect. Just like Nishira to think of everything. From advanced monitoring equipment to primitive torture devices, the room had everything he would need to do thorough study of any subjects sent his way. With a flourish he dons a white lab coat over his current attire that fits him as if custom tailored to his body. "Wonderful, gut, buona y bien! Tres magnifique! It's... missing something." his head had tilted back in his glee, but suddenly it falls forward and he's staring at a wall. Then each wall. Yes, he knew exactly what was missing, and it was time that he got a bit poetic with his newly acquired lodgings. Starting first with several warding runes to alert him to intruders, and several more to give him information about the who and how of it. Then adding a few simple and a few complex triggered runes, a little something for every occasion gets splattered into existence across his mural.


Frank steps back to admire his handiwork. In a relatively short time he's covered almost every inch of the walls in a fairly large room with writing, and though illegible in its own way, the poetry carries over through the barrier of language and lack of. Anyone versed in reading magic itself would come to understand that Frank has applied a rune for nearly every situation from heavily restraining someone's movements with one rune to stepping through a wall to get to the bathroom on the other side of the building using another. Some called Frank lucky, but the truth of the matter was simply that Frank was prepared. And not a drop of ink on his pristine coat, or anything else. Each stroke precise and careful. After all, the equipment in this room was priceless... at least in his hands.
