What I'm Doing: Holding Why'nn and watching their game, waiting for pizza


Connor couldn't help but smile when Why'nn crawled across the table and into his lap. His smile widened when she kissed him. "It's okay. I understand that you value your training." Connor let out a small, happy sigh, then turned his attention to James's question. "I mean, I'm game. I think I'd like to be on Why'nn's team, but if she'd rather be on someone else's that's fine too. I haven't played in...about a year so I'll probably be pretty bad."

With: His thoughts


Doing: Knocking (this time)


Frank stepped through the wall across the hall from Nishira's office, causing it to ripple briefly before becoming solid again. It had been a very interesting day, and now he had to speak to the headmistress before starting his experiments. For, he'd found something else of particular note. Something he felt Nishira would be interested in. Stepping forward he pulled his pocket watch out as if to check the time, then put it back and gave the door a few quick raps.

What I'm doing: Getting ready


Why'nn nodded to Connor and swiftly finished putting together her deck, a bit confused but she figured it was decent build. "Perhaps Connor can help coach me? As I am unfamiliar... perhaps it can be... a three way battle? Is that a possibility with this game? Connor can coach me, advise me on moves, and we three battle."

"Come in, Frank," the lich called. The door opened. "What have you found so far, my dear? Have you met my Summoner? Have you seen his Protector? It is a wonderful thing. We will be making a beautiful symbiosis together, dear."

"They made pizza... I want pizza!!!" Violet perked up. She hadn't had pizza in so long. She stopped however and looked to Connor and Why'nn. She just smiled and moved on. She still didn't care for him, he in truth had hurt her. She was more mad that someone actually hurt her then anything else, but she was happy that Why'nn seemed happy.


"Let go eat fellas."

With: The Mistress ( @folclor )


Doing: Conversing


Frank steps in rather formally, but there's a small smile on his face that belies his happiness at being invited in. It seemed Nishira was in a better mood than usual. "I've spent most of the day setting up wards, so I have not technically met many of those on the campus, but I have been using some magic to monitor the school. Excluding your private quarters, of course. Seeing that James child and Why'nn fighting together was interesting. I've taken a sample from him to do some experimentation, but that route isn't looking too bright. However, I didn't come to your door on a whim!" Frank grins and folds his arms across his chest, "I would, of course, not be bothering you if I didn't have something interesting to present. I've caught something interesting wandering the halls.. a rat as it were. Not on the records that I can find, so I wanted to ask if you knew.. about a living weapon who seems to have snuck in." Frank pulls a picture of Tetsuko from his pocket, apparently contained within some form of glass cage.

What I'm doing: Being hungry & curious


Grim was shrugging at his brother's question, the cooks at Redwall Abbey were the best he had ever met. They could make foods to make a badger lord beg for thirds.


Sweets that would make any beast think they died and gone the great Forrest. Savoury items that would weigh so heavy on a feast table to make it sag.


They could even make a hot root soup that almost rivaled Skippers own recipe. And the smells. Oh the wondrous smells would waft over the high red stone walls and mingle among the trees and rivers, as if it were a thing inviting all to join it inside great hall for a meal that would be sung about four years to come.


But he had never heard of peesa. "Was dat?" His whiskers drooped a little, but kept twitching. As Violet seemed to be more or less back to her perky self, the otter let his arm fall from her shoulder as she took the lead. "Lass, wot is peesa?" Looking over his shoulder to see if Valian knew.


So intrigued with what pizza was, Grim didn't really see the others sitting at a table in an excited discussion about something.

What I'm doing: Warning them away


Sieghart saw the three approaching the kitchen with questions about the pizza. He rolled his eyes. Connor had never mentioned that pizza is something that attracts teenagers lie flies. Sieghart stood and walked over to intercept their path. He stood in front of them with a dry look, his armored arms crossed.


"I'm afraid this pizza is not for you. I did not make it, though I aided. Connor wished to make one for Why'nn, so I allowed him to use my kitchen to do so. However, I took notes on the process, and if you are willing to be patient, I can make you another pizza. Until then, please have a seat."

What I'm doing: Plotting


"Fighting together?" That caught her interest. "Fighting against each other or in tandem with?" As he drew out the picture, Nishira called it to her and regarded it. "Strange... I did not sense her enter this realm..." Was she getting rusty? The headmistress frowned. If she was this out of touch, didn't know what was going on between her Summoner and his Protector, this meant she needed to take a day or two to properly reconnect with her plane. That meant getting Delrick to agree to being in charge temporarily.


Back to the matter at hand... "A living weapon... well, we can't have one of those running around unbound. Also, Frank, I wished to talk to you about a plan I have concerning James and Delrick's bird." Whether or not he knew who 'Delrick's bird' was didn't matter. "He is to be my Summoner of Worlds. I will oversee his transformation purposely. She will be his Protector. I will give you a list of the genes I give him so you can give the girl the same ones. She must be able to adjust to whatever he summons that she can properly work in tandem with him. Expect resistance from her." Still, she looked at the picture a bit more closely. "Does that cannon have a mouth?"

What I'm doing: Losing further interest


Though the smell was enticing, it bothered him that Violet had assumed. Often times Sieghart made things for special diets. He hadn't expected this would be something they'd be able to partake in. "Don't know what it is, don't really care. You two have fun, I'm gonna go get some training in." Though he enjoyed spending time with Grim, he was starting to dislike Violet.

With:Kiya the Wolf


What:Talking about things. Going to the cafeteria


"So why do you like that Old World song?" Kiya asked, Richard glanced at her, "...wade through the blood spilled on the floor, and if another one stands I'll kill some more...Come to the nightmare come to me, deep down in the dark where the devil be, in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth, where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps... Speaks me when I'm pissed. And simply the music itself, it has a good backstory and what not." "Why so dark?" Richard laughed, "Not really dark, more, of a threat to an enemy, song was implied to recruit the strong, and scare the weak.. Devil Dogs, or Marines, were simply killing machines, built and trained to fight."


Kiya rolled her eyes, "Why-", "I choose guns because they hold power within, each bullet can determine who lives, and who dies, each gun is unique in it's own way, some sound cool, others sound like Satan himself just shouted at you, others can kill you from another zip. I built this gun here." Richard took it out of a new holster on his chest for easy drawing, "This was meant to kill anything that stood before it, and melt anything in front of the intended target, mess with the best and I'll put a hole in your chest, that's my motto. Now, come on, I hope they serve food from where I came from."


Richard walked in and went to get some food, they did have all the common things from before his world was obliterated, he read about these round things called 'pancakes' and one's with squares were called 'waffles', he's never had one before, so he grabbed a few and looked for a place to sit, all the other tables were full, until he saw a half empty one with a man that looked like a dog, lion, and a hamster all mixed together and turned into a human hybrid, which he found pretty cool....he walked over to the table of people,"Mind if I sit here?" Richard asked nicely.

What I'm doing- you don't know what pizza is!!!


Violet looked at Val and she put her foot in her mouth. "Whatever." Violet didn't exactly mean for this to come out as hateful, but she pretty much had already decided she didn't care about the guy at all. Well that wasn't true. Nornally her first instinct was to get mad and pissy , but she wasn't feeling that way towards him. Maybe deep down she knew he wasn't a bad person or maybe her love for grim was big enough to even make this unlikable guy seem decent. She chuckled to herself. She was the poster girl for unlikeable so she couldn't blame him for not taking to her. She looked up to Grim. "You're pretty amazing." Then she looked back at Val. "Hey... Uh look I'm sorry if I don't come across as likeable, and we don't have to be friends, but I don't dislike you... Yeah." She felt awakard. She had never really tried to make things work with someone who she felt didn't like her. It wasn't her style, hopefully Grim would notice she was at least trying. He knew her better than anyone here did.


"Now let's go show you first hand what pizza is." Violet smiled up at Grim.

What I'm doing: Talking


Valian stopped and turned, crossing his arms as he glared at her.


"No. You need to understand this isn't like a normal school. Some of the things Sieghart cooks are for certain students only and he just said we can't have any of the 'peeza' that he is cooking. He just said he'd make another for us but this one was made by Connor specifically for Why'nn. I don't dislike you, but it's pretty clear you don't like me. I want Grim to be happy so I'm pulling myself out of this situation before I drag him down by being frustrated at being the third wheel." He shook his head. "I don't want to be rude to you, but you aren't listening to what's around you. I know this is your first year here, but I'm a little disappointed. You claim to be Why'nn's friend but you ignored something when it was specifically meant for her. Maybe where you're from that's appropriate, but I know if someone was doing something kind for my little sister, I'd do everything to make sure it was perfect."


He turned and started walking out of the room. Celeste now weighed heavily on his mind. She hadn't appeared here, which was hopefully a good sign, but he hadn't been able to go back to check on her. Worst case scenario she was dead... His light shone a little less brightly.

With:His thoughts


What:Reminiscing a hell hole


Richard walked to an empty table and sat down and started to eat, he didn't mind, he's done it before when he was young, so it felt normal, he took a bite from his waffle and it was alright, nothing special. He took his gun out and just looked at it, smiling that he himself, made such a weapon that worked. He diced to field strip it and clean it. He took out a small cleaning kit and opened it to clean the barrel and the rest of it, as he cleaned it, black specs fell from the barrel, indicating he must have burned the barrel's rifling spinners to shoot the bullet straight, so he took a peek, nothing stood out of place, so he just kept cleaning, "When do I get deployed sir?",


"A few days, why are you so eager to fight young man?", "I have nothing else to lose sir. just send me out, I don't care where I end up, I'm ready!.", "Boy, why are you saying such things?", "Because it's true, you've put me with the elite ones, they don't talk much, let alone joke! I'm going insane being with them!", "Alright, fine, you want front lines, then you're going to Sweet Bitter End. They need more people." Sweet Bitter End, that free fire zone consisted of mutated people and animals, what kids would dream up in nightmares, it was also, ground zero. Richard was one of the very few to come back, out of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, only 78 made it back, and the bodies piled over the years they fought there, only that 78 came back, when they did, half were pushed out of service for PTSD, other's were dismissed for injuries unfixable, leaving only 15 to fight again.


Richard stopped and let the memories flow, visions of the large field of soldier crosses, the missing soldiers found, only driven mad by the horrors that lie in the crater, bodies unrecognizable were stripped of dog tags by scavengers, Richard regretted going there every day, he wasn't proud to being part of that 78 that made it back. He remembers those words he said to a kid that called him a hero "If I was a hero, I'd be six feet under, with a cross over my hole.", and that fateful day that his best friend, Macy, her child, walked up to him, and asked that question he never wanted to hear, never..."Where's mom?". Richard looked up, "She's up there, kicking back with everyone else, the lucky ones, the real hero's little one...". Richard broke down and laid his head down so nobody would see him. "No! Richy, soldier's can't cry, they don't have that feeling anymore, come on!" Richard pulled his head up, wiped his tears and stopped, it lingered but training has taught him that it won't come out unless you let it, so he didn't, and went back to cleaning his gun, this time he put on some headphones and listened to 'Satellite' "You can't feel the heat until you hold your hand over the flame. You have to cross the line to remember where it lays..." as music went on, it picked up speed and made it sound up beat and happy.

"Maybe I didn't hear him you jerk, did you ever stop and think about that!" Violet felt her anger flare. "Don't act like you know how I treat my sister I love Hope!" Violet's eyes widened.

The otter stopped and blinked several times as he looked to Valian, who he knew felt strongly about families and showing special attention to others. It was over of the reasons he got along with him so well and why he called him brother. He was right about the special foods, it was something he leaned early on. "Lian, wait!" He started to move towards his brother, completely unaware the other people in the cafeteria now. He could see and sense the sadness that came with the thoughts of his little sister.


After a few steps he stopped in his tracks hearing Violet call out angrily. Grim turned towards her reaching to her now as well. He was feeling torn, wanting to be there for both of them. It had been turning into a good day, his clan had started to grow. He didn't want it to shrink again. "Lass! Wait! Dinnae go!" He moved to try and block the door they had just come through. He wanted this to work. He wanted his family together. "Both of ye! Stop!" The otter stood with both arms and feet out wide, blocking as much of the double doors as he could.

Valian frowned. He was about to say something he might regret when Grim began speaking. For his brother he would stop. Stop he did, not offering resistance. "I'm not going through you, brother." If there was one person he would not go against, it was Grim. So, though he didn't want to be anywhere near Violet, he shoved his hands into his pockets and waited, the closest he'd come to submission.

"Now, what seems to be the issue here, if I'm allowed to ask that is..?" Richard stood next to the walk way and had his hands in his jacket pockets, showing he means no harm or being a threat, hoping to see if that calms things.

Sieghart led Violet into the kitchen and let her sit at the table by the fire while she calmed down. While she did that, Sieghart disappeared into the pantry for a few minutes, returning later with a slice of chocolate cake, which he set in front of her. Then he proceeded to make her a hot drink, such as tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, whichever she preferred. He brought her this too and then sat in a chair across the table from her.


"Now Violet. Tell me what's wrong. You're normally so happy and cheerful. Why are you arguing with your friends? James didn't hypnotize you again did he?"

He was grateful Valian stopped and did not push or fight him. If he's been angry he would have fought, but he wasn't. He was confused. "T'anks Lian."


He turned to look at Violet when she was shouting, his jaw hung open, in shock. He didn't know what to say or to do. He looked at her. 'Do wot?' He thought. When the chef came out and provided an exit hee couldn't block, the otter deflated when Violet disappeared into the kitchen.


Looking to the new guy, who now that he took a second to gather his senses, smelled like cordite and burnt metal. 'Ye've shootin'.' The otter quickly looked him over and nodded saying. "T'ank ye fer tryin' ta 'elp."


Turning to his brother he held up his paws, a bewildered expression on his face. "Wot 'appened? Wot do I do?" Females back home weren't like this, he was out of his depth.

"Seems like this is more my fault than anything," Valian admitted, letting out a sigh. "But she didn't listen. Look, I'm not exactly thrilled with Violet right now and it's probably best if I don't go in there with you. If you want her go in after her." He shrugged. "I don't do drama. You've watched me drop more than one friend over that. I won't drop you. You're my brother. It's just... It's unlikely I'm going to be friends with Violet."

 

[Pinkalyn]

Character: Frank


Location: Nishira's Office


With: Nishira @folclor


Doing: Conversing casually


Frank hums thoughtfully, then offers a playful smile as he listens to Nishira, "Ah, don't fret too much. Small matters such as these, they are something I'm here to help attend to, are they not? Though I wouldn't suggest against attuning to your plane, of course. Why'nn and James appeared to be fighting together against golems, if I recall correctly. I only caught glimpses between other things I was managing at the time. Meanwhile, the trouble maker that I had mentioned a moment ago, she is something rather interesting. Before we take to binding her, I wanted to consult with you about my findings and the potential ramifications of them. I apologize if I'm a bit over-eager about this discovery, but it's something I'd not seen before. Ah!"


Frank pauses in his speech to pat around his person, finally stopping at a pocket on his chest that bulges slightly. He draws from it a vial, filled with a silvery ooze of a substance. "Firstly, yes.. that is a mouth on that cannon. The cannon, though it appears to be a separate entity, is actually just an extension of the girl. That mouth is essentially her own. But she's still clinging to enough humanity to deny her own latent abilities. This is one such ability." He swirls the vial in a small circle, to show off the opaque liquid, "This was a vial of blood, with just a single cellular sample from the girl added." as the swirl stops the liquid seems to pool to a specific side of the vial, as if gravity failed to affect it properly. "Well, cell isn't quite right, you see... she's made up of machines. Now, this in itself wouldn't constitute much of a finding, I know, but each of these machines seems to have a will. Not simply a hard programmed set of rules, but a bit of soul left over from whatever this girl once was. These cells are currently trying to return to their host. If I allowed them to, they would merge seamlessly with her. She's like a living virus mixed with a cannon.. mixed with sociopathic tendencies."


Frank now replaces the vial into his pocket, patting it for security, "Now, I understand I've been talking your ear off and I haven't given you anything that would benefit you. I understand that's completely unacceptable, in fact. Which is why I want you to know that I believe using these nanomachines I can produce artificial will. Manufactured souls. I'm certain you and I could find a use for something like that, but in order to do so I'd need to keep the girl under my supervision. Perhaps make some modifications to her behavior. She'd become my tool, for the time being. She is, after all, no longer a living creature. Her one reason for existing, as she would tell you herself, is to become the ultimate weapon. I think that her goal aligns nicely with your own, in the fact that I could groom her to be an obedient tool to yourself, in this form and the next. Thus is my proposal." Frank stops for air, eyeing Nishira for her response to this truckload of information.

"If you like this boy, I see no reason you should not see him. Simply speak to him about his friend, and ask him for some time for just the two of you. If he really loves you, he'll make time, and if his friend is a good friend, then he'll understand. Now, I must warn you, do not try to make this boy stop seeing his friend. That will only drive him away from you. Just as he needs to understand that you need time alone with him, you need to understand that he needs time to be with his friends."

"I just don't want to hurt him. He might pick me over him, that's the last thing I want... I might seem selfish and I know people dislike me, they have every reason to, but I don't want Grim to get hurt!" She sighed and hung her head. "I really hate myself sir... Grim helps me feel better, but it's hard to undo years of feeling not wanted. My parents kicked me out of my house, they didn't want me... I'm so scared I'll hurt and lose the only person here who sees past all the negatives that I have."
