Who I'm with: Violet (@StartingOver )


What I'm doing: Being very hungry and curious


"Oh, aye?" When she said she'd be the teacher, Grim smiled and nodded placing the knife at about the center and pushing through the crust and drew it along towards himself, siding the pizza at first, then using one paw to hold it while he finished cutting. When he was done it in two pieces. Nodding the otter started to cut it in half the other way. So there were more four pieces. He proudly looked to Violet. "How'd I do teacheh?" He was excited to both eat the pizza and find out what his reward, beyond eating the pizza, was gonna be.

What I'm doing- Giving out rewards!


Violet clapped her hands together. "Great job Grim!" She smiled and put both her hands on his cheeks and leaned in. She gave him a kiss pressing her lips to his. She pulled back and smiled. "Good job." She pulled back and grabbed a slice. "Now time to eat!!!!" She sat down and ate happily.

What I'm doing: Being a little less hungry and more happy!


Grim returned her kiss and smiled broadly as she pulled back; his tail twitching happily. "T'anks lass!" Wiping his knife clean and resheathing it, the otter watched as Violet grabbed one of the large slices by the thoroughly cooked dough and hold it. His whiskers twitched as he watched for a moment, then grabbed a slice and tentatively took a bite.


As he chewed slowly his eyes grew wider as the flavours spilled across his tongue. He looked down at the baked good in his paw. "Dis be incre'ible!" He took a large bite and munched very happily the only way an otter could.

Who I'm with: James (@TommyGun15), Connor (@KalenNighteyes), Reagan (@shadowstrikr25), and Talia


What I'm doing: Speaking


"I prefer warm food..." Why'nn murmured. Slowly, she began to eat again, glad it was a bit cooler now. Quickly, she ate what was before her. Her stomach was full now. This was more than she usually ate at this point. While Father tried, very hard, to get her to eat a normal amount, she did usually skip lunch.


"Though blood and flesh is the warmth I prefer..." James would recall Why'nn's memories of drinking blood under the direction of Llysi or eating the raw flesh of the various animals she was able to catch as a child in the catacombs.


Location: Somewhere outside the school


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Floating


Valian, fully clothed, floated in a gentle river in the forest. His eyes were closed and the sun shone down through the canopy of leaves. Water was calming, as was the stillness of nature. Finally, he was able to get away from the noise of the school. Violet had angered him and he was fairly certain that Grim had chosen her over him. That hurt a bit. Unless, of course, it wasn't about choosing one of them above the other. If it was about having both, Valian would understand.


As the water carried him down, into a lake of some kind, he simply allowed himself to continue floating. If anyone needed him they would find him.

Location: Cafeteria


Who I'm With: Mother, Father, James, Reagan


What I'm Doing: Panicking


Talia finished one slice of her pizza with a small smile. She was reaching for another one when realization sank in. Her eyes widened slightly as she grasped the hilt of her sword nervously, and began backing away. There was almost a look of panic on her face. That James could only have been Uncle James. She couldn't stay. She had to go. "I-I-I-I have to go. Thank you f-Connor, for allowing me to help you make the pizza. It was delicious. Why'nn, James, Reagan." She gave them all a bow, then turned and back walking hurriedly toward the exit of the cafeteria. There was too many people there now. Someone was bound to put two and two together to realize she looked quite a bit like Connor, and a bit like Why'nn. She had to go. Had to find Avalyn. Had to just be away so people didn't realize.

Who I'm with- Grim


What I'm doing- Recalling


Violet looked back at Grim and smiled. She sat down and shook her head. "It's been so long since I've been in a kitchen so filled with love and happyness. Makes me wonder how I would have turned out if I had a family that cared about me." She looked towards the window. "My mother loved me sure, but I was always second fiddle to Hope. I grew to hate her and my heart turned cold, I deserve to be here I guess." She back to Grim. "But the moment I saw Why'nn and Connor being attacked I felt things I hadn't felt in years. A longing to protect people, fighting for something bigger than myself. "She gave a faint smile. "And then I meet you and my heart remembered how to love." Violet wasn't one to spill this much about her or her past, but she was still drunk. "So overall I'm glad I came here."

What I'm doing: Taking them to see the magic show


Once he was done with his pizza, James wiped his face with a napkin, stood, and began to walk towards the door. He stopped as he opened it, and looked back at the others.


"If any of you want to learn a little magic, or at the very least just watch, I'll be in the dorm common room."


With that James walked out of the cafeteria, climbed the stairs, and entered the Common Room. He sat on the couch and waited patiently for the others to arrive.

Why'nn jumped up, grasping Connor's hand and practically dragging him to the Common Room. She had pulled out of the mindscape. As soon as they reached the common room, Why'nn sat on the ground, across from James and watched him carefully. She re-connected to him.


"I thought you did not want Connor to see... the spells."

Who I'm with: Why'nn (@folclor )


What I'm doing: Answering her


James answered Why'nn out loud, since they were alone for the moment anyway.


"I'll admit, it's a bit uncomfortable to be casting spells on you with Connor around, but so long as you can make him promise not to attack me in any way for the effects of my spells, I have no problem with it."


James smirked as a humorous though occurred to him.


"Besides, maybe I could talk him into being my guinea pig for a few of these spells. It might be fun to watch him try to dance ballet."


(I'll be posting sporadically for the next few days. I have relatives visiting.)

Who I'm with: James (@TommyGun15)


What I'm doing: Talking


She nodded. "What is ballet, James?" A dance? The only dances she'd seen were battle training exercises and involved swords or practice sticks. "I would be casting spells upon you as well, so would fair not be fair?" Why'nn was quite curious about that. Would Connor get angry if they were practicing spells on each other? She honestly didn't know.

 

[KalenNighteyes]

Location: Common Room


Who I'm With: Why'nn and James


What I'm Doing: Listening and Talking


Connor wasn't far behind as Why'nn had been pulling him along to the Common room. He couldn't help but laugh and give James a friendly shove. "I'm good with having spells cast on me, just...don't make me do ballet. Please? Make me act like an animal or even make me dress up as a girl, but don't make me do ballet." He looked to Why'nn now. "The only thing that's not fair is that I can't cast spells so I'm basically at both of your guys' mercy here."





Victor laughed. 'You wouldn't be if you would actually listen to me. I've told you what you need to do to get more of my power. It's not that big of a deal. You do that one small thing to Why'nn, then you'd be given more access.'





Connor grit his teeth, but forced a smile at the two of them. "So, what do we do?"

James began to stretch in preparation for casting spells. He stood with his hands on his hips, gesturing for the others to take their seats.


"Alright, what do you want to see first? The flashy stuff, the stuff that Mistress Imalia taught me, or the stuff that I learned from the Headmistress? And don't tell anyone else I've been taking lessons from the Headmistress..."

What I'm doing: Getting ready to watch


"I would like to see the mind affecting spells. And... can we show Connor the mindscape and..." Suddenly, Why'nn blushed and looked away from both boys. "I... would start whenever you are ready, James." She glanced up at him. "Captain." The girl smiled, then sat up straight, as if at attention. "If we are not to mindscape initially then I would enjoy seeing the mind affecting spells."

Shard


Location: Arena


Company: Delrick - @Grim Wraithe Stjerna


Activity: Discussion

Shard watched the two students combat his golems with small chuckles and otherwise similar exclamations of delight one would hear from a young child. Once they were finished he clapped enthusiastically and blinked at Delrick's attention returning to him. Delrick, meanwhile, could note that only the first twenty-five pages of the book functioned properly, the rest remained almost glued shut and once past the twenty-fifth page the next read "DANGER: Quarterly Test Ahead, proceed with caution". In the preceding pages though, the book was actually very insightful into the workings of Chaos. Detailing a basic, yet informative explanation of how lowly Chaos creatures would often avoid direct confrontation and instead, prod the minds of targets from the shadows until their grip on reality slipped enough to devour them. Whether physically or spiritually speaking however, the book does not say.


The last "chapter" before the warning page, details that there truly is no way to determine the power of a Chaos creature by simply looking at it, and that trying to do so is HIGHLY advised against. As creatures of Chaos who are strong enough to fight can alter their body "on the fly" to suit their needs in combat, as well as a growing trend that becomes more potent the more powerful they become: the ability to fight you physically, and telepathically assault your mind. Making a Chaos creature of even half your strength dangerous to you, due to it's tactic of hindering your ability to bring your whole skill-set to bear. Years of training in your mind and muscle memory, in the more potent cases at least, are now assailed by screeches from the Abyss and incantation for spells one has known since being an apprentice become as distant as the clouds amongst reeling fits of laughter and Chaos.


At Delrick directly addressing him, Shard hummed before finally stating "Well... truthfully I am simply bored and waiting until classes begin. I've no interest in this tournament of hers and have a very specific assignment I have been tasked with."

Friday Night 10PM


Location: My office


Who I'm with: The droid (@HK 50 09) and Reagan (@shadowstrikr25)


What I'm doing: Preparing to bind


"Thank you for showing up, girl. I'll be knocking you out for this first portion. The binding is always better on younger souls when they are unconscious, you understand. It will be a lot less painful." 'And, therefore, a lot less fun for me but I can't have All the fun in the world.' The headmistress smiled serenely at the two gathered.


Location: Common Room


Who I'm with: Unknown


What I'm doing: Meditating


Why'nn found she quite liked the common room, though she did intend to go sleep in either HK-50-01's workshop or Father's room tonight. She liked Father's room better than Mother's, but was uncertain of the workshop. The day had been a good one. She enjoyed training, melding souls, trying a new food. However, she hoped the days would quiet after that. She was... less interested in the social drama that had unfolded. More, she wished to get to the tournament already. Still, as she sat, she calmed her mind.


Location: Outside the school


Who I'm with: No one


What I'm doing: Floating and thinking


Valian had not gone back to the school. Grim had not come searching for him. He assumed his brother was caught up in the romance and he would not interfere. No, even though he loved his brother, or maybe because he loved his brother, he would not interrupt. Grim was a strong, smart individual. He would know what would make him happy. If the world with Violet at its center gave the otter joy, Valian wouldn't ruin it. He just... wouldn't be part of that world and, as hard as that was, he accepted it.


Other friends had done this before, which was why he had no other friends. Now Grim was probably leaving him, too. His heart sank, the light that usually surrounded him completely gone. He wouldn't let himself cry over this. It was a happy thing for Grim. Now he could build an actual clan, not some tenuous connections with other students. Why had Grim hung out with him in the first place anyway? It was hard for Valian to remember. Maybe it was the fact they were both in combatives in first year. Maybe it was to do with how they'd both been so angry when they arrived. He wasn't sure and, despite himself, he felt hot tears streaking down his cheeks.


How could he have been so stupid as to think he would get something out of this? How could he've thought he was worth enough to anyone? Obviously he wasn't. Obviously he was everyone's placeholder. It was clear that it didn't matter who it was, as soon as someone better came along Valian would be alone again. And he didn't quite understand what he was doing wrong so he dropped himself under water to clear the tears. When he surfaced again he finally swam to the shore and sat upon it, crossing his legs and leaning back to look up at the night sky.

Location: Outside the school


Who I'm with: No one /Valian (@folclor )


What I'm doing: Searching for my brother!


Grim had indeed enjoyed the pizza and spending the afternoon and evening with Violet. But when her realized he hadn't seen or heard from Valian since just before the pizza; the otter excused himself from Violet once she was getting tired from her earlier anger blasting session.


Grim had checked all the normal places he and Valian would be, and where Valian liked to sit quietly from time to time. He even checked the roof, it was from there that he saw the forest, and remembered that Valian had said he'd spent most of the break exploring it. So without going back inside, he scurried down one of the drain pipes and started running for the forest.


Once he was inside it he started letting his senses take over. He closed his eyes and let his hearing drift into the woods. Listening the breeze rustle the leaves as it gently rolled by. He could hear the creaking of beaches far off, even the gently lapping river. He could smell the old decay that was common in the forest, he could faintly tell the Valian was in fact in the first but the scent was to faint to follow. The unnatural quiet of the forest was starting to eat at the edge of his comfort. He was very on edge in here alone, this was not a forest that should be.


'De riveh! No fish!' He started moving towards it and recalled that Valian was not a strong swimmer, so he let the current take him along then dove and swan with it, covering more ground then he could running. The mustelid could tell there was a gentle decline and knew he would end up in a lake soon enough.


And sure enough, he did. 'At leas' dat made sense.' He swam along with just his eyes and snout above the water, he quickly spotted his buddy sitting on the shore. Grim dove, he always swam faster under water. When he got closer he came to just below the surface and with a few powerful kicks and tail flicks he propelled himself out of the water, straight at his brother. "LIAN!" In the air he opened his arms to hug Valian as he tackled him.

What I'm doing: Meditating


James sat across from Why'nn, also meditating. He reached out to her with his mind, and spoke to her.


"Well... I think Connor is still dancing... I might've overdone it on that last spell. Either way, the Chicken Strip returns!"





James gave a half-hearted mental laugh at the memory of Connor doing the naked chicken dance. It became a lot easier to "convince" him to do that once he'd used the Touch of Idiocy spell. He'd have to remember that for the tournament.


"Oh... and I'm sorry about using the interrogation spell on you. I warned you that it was painful..."

 

[HK Fifty]

Position : My Workshop/Over-Predor's Office


Companions : Over-Predor Auros (@folclor) , Reagan (@shadowstrikr25)


Engaging in : Completing the first of many, hopefully/Observing my Under-Predor's own Ascendancy


HK-50-01 had been feverishly constructing and designing his Flame-Projecting War Droid at speeds a Human couldn't replicate. In truth he had possessed this idea for some time , but had never had the opportunity to act upon the desire. Within the first fifteen minutes he had completed the design - which , admittedly , looked rather like his own frame , but it also had a few divergences. I'll make the cranial unit appear as that of a Sith Trooper - of the current era , Not my own. No no , that'll be what the Elite Shock-Troops look like.. Now.. I'll make the 'hands' have utility with slicing - in case it ever needs to be in a Melee situation , it isn't scrap. There'll be others with manipulative appendages - this one will usually operate with phalanxes of the regular , blaster toting kinds.


With the design chosen , he began forging - forging because he didn't already have metal shaped to the contours of the droid's design - the base skeletal frame. Then came the attachment of the wires , servo-motors , a vocabulator (which was capable of Basic and a Droid Langauge only) and it's computer core - which , by design , was made to be intelligent and independent on a level where it could operate without direct orders from a superior droid , but not as independent as HK-50's own brain , or one of the Captain/Commander Droid's. Oh-One decided to test it before he attached any plating or weaponry to it. It wouldn't be good if the blasted thing doesn't perform adequately and I already allocated rescources to it's armor and weapons , would it?


After running it through the basic tests for both physical and mental aptitude , he switched it back off and decided it needed it's name. HK-50-01 was tempted to call it HK Incinerator , but decided if any droid was to receive the HK nomenclature , it was his Highest Lieutenant - whatever that would be. So instead he went with Incinerator Alpha Prototype Flame Projector Droid until he - or the Over-Predor , as it was HER army , though HK-50 commanded it - chose a different , more apt designation. Switching it on again , it repeated its designation upon activation. The voice HK-50 had chosen for it was a flat , synthesized monotone , and Oh-One found it pleasing - along with his Prototype's performance.


And so began the work of forging the droid's armor plating. HK-50-01 admittedly wasn't a metal worker - there were other droids that had that skill - but he could receive the services of one that WAS after The Over-Predor had approved his projects. Sparks and heat scorched Oh-One's own plating , and after quite some time he had finished the last section - naturally , the Head. It was an easy task to begin Fusing the Thick DuraSteel to the frame , if a tedious one. Surprisingly , he found the prospect of which Color the droid would appear as a difficult one. After an interminable amount of time , he chose a metallic cyan-blue color , with a green for all the various indicator lights and the photoreceptive dome that covered the cranial Unit's internal components.


Finally , he attached the twin plasma/flame projector forearms to the droid's arms , and activated it once more. Since his Workshop was a Controlled Enviroment - as he wanted it to be , since Mechanical Components could be ruined by certain factors - he saw no harm in ordering it to begin projecting flames onto a target he normally used for the TF-05 units. This it did with spectacular precision and efficiency , reducing the assigned objective to ash within the span of a few seconds. As programmed , once the target was destroyed it stood at the ready for more orders - or unless it was attacked itself.


Before he could order it to shred a target with the cutting digits it possessed in place of Manipulators , he recieved a summons to his Apprentice's Acsendancy. At first , he assumed she had decided to do it early - HK-50-01 would've waited until Nightfall himself , if only for the Ambience of it. Of course , this was before he checked his internal Chrono-Meter. Oh.. It's been more than half a planetary cycle that I've been working on this Droid. No time to get all these scorch marks off , either.. Well , I suppose Over-Predor Auros will just have to accept it.


He called his creation to him and made his way to the Over-Predor's Offices , walking at a rapid pace. Fortunately , this wasn't a difficult task for the Incinerator Alpha unit , which followed a mere pace over HK-50's right shoulder. Oh-One motioned for it to wait in the hallway before entering the Offices , kneeling breifly before rising to his feet and scanning the room. Apparently His Under-Predor was already there , because his Over-Predor was informing her of the specifics of the Ascendancy. Well , I suppose that will keep her terror down.. This won't be fun to watch even with that , though. But I'm certainly not calling it off , either..


HK-50-09 inclined his head in Reagan's direction before he spoke , applying a bit of Rakatan Ritual to the Proceedings. "Ritual/Informational : Greetings , Over-Predor Auros. I aplogize that I look so.. Unpresentable , but I.. Was working on something. I'll show you after the Ascendancy is over. Ah.. My Under-Predor. Now is when you begin the ritual of Acsendancy to your place at my side , subordinate until you are able to consume my flesh and gain the Knowledge that I have acquired , a tradition many before you have done. But , alas , this is where I must divulge. For I am the last of the Rakata , the last of the Builders of the Star Forge , rulers of the Infinite Empire. There will be no others to consume , unless you go to lesser races - which I condemn. I've already undergone my own Ascendancy , which I did without any sedative - why I am a Predor , where you are an Under-Predor. Now , begin your Rise!"

What I'm doing: Talking


Valian was taken by surprise by the otter's sudden appearance, even more so when the powerful warrior tackled him, hugging him. A laugh escaped his throat, as it always did in these situations. He would take it. He knew it wouldn't last much longer. He'd give it a week or two, tops, before Grim forgot about him as an important person. At least for now he'd enjoy the fraternization. He would start pulling away. Make it less painful for Grim.


"Hey Grim!" He smiled and embraced his brother. "Have fun with your Violet?" There was no ill will in those words. In fact, unless Grim was really looking for it, he wouldn't realize anything was truly wrong.

"I still do not understand what you mean by that," Why'nn replied, though there was a giggle that accompanied her thoughts. "The pain was not that bad. As I do not mind speaking honestly you rarely had to use it, anyway. Why is it called a chicken dance?"





What was a chicken, anyway? And she supposed this wasn't dancing ballet, so Connor got that, at least.

Rather than take the time to explain what a chicken was, James simple conjured an image of a chicken walking around in a manner similar to the steps of the dance Connor was currently engaged in.


"This is a chicken. People raise them on farms, then kill them and eat them. The dance is meant to mimic a chicken's walk, although people usually don't do it naked. That part was just funny."

Reagan had spent most of her time thinking, and being bored. Once the summons appear in front of her, she walked towards the office, nervous. 'OK... This is going to be fine, right? Not like I'm going to be incinerated or anything.' Reagan stood in the office, listening to the Headmistress. 'Why does she need to sedate me? This isn't making any sense.' As Reagan was about to speak, HK-50 entered the room and began spouting jargon that Reagan understood precisely none of. "Uh... I understood maybe half of that? Can we get this going? Why sedate me anyways?"

What I'm Doing: Leaving


Connor frowned. It had all been fun and games, but now James wouldn't just shut up about it. "I think I'm just going to go. Clearly I'm just the butt of the joke to you guys." Connor gave Why'nn a small kiss on the cheek, then stood and began to leave the Common Room. He was annoyed that he'd apparently been the entire focus of all the spells and was, honestly, probably just tired. Or maybe he was feeling a little jealousy, which he hated himself for.

James watched Connor go without saying anything out loud, though he did send a message to Why'nn through the mindscape.


"No, the real joke is the fact that he kept doing the dance for a good thirty minutes after I asked him to stop. So either I'm not as good at hypnosis as I thought, or Connor was actually having fun doing that."

Who I'm with: Connor (@KalenNighteyes) and James (@TommyGun15)

What in the hells? That was... abrupt. "Connor, there is no joke. Both James and I also incurred pain and humiliation from each other's spells. If you dislike spending time training, please let me know. Otherwise, you are free to meditate with us. Join us in the mindscape." In the mindscape, James would see Why'nn's thoughts become distinctly and deeply purple in disappointment concerning Connor's reaction. It was clear she didn't wish to be without him, but she also did not understand what he was upset about. James had used Touch of Idiocy on her as well. She didn't quite remember what happened after that but something had, she was sure.


"What did you make me do?" She stored the information about chickens and their dances away.

The headmistress quirked an eyebrow at the droid's ramblings before turning her attention to the girl. "Why, yes, we can. You need to be sedated because the pain on your soul would be a bit too much to take unless you're out so... be a good girl and let's get this underway." She stepped close to Reagan, preparing to cast a sleep spell.

Connor sighed. "Sorry. I'm just tired I guess. I know everyone was affected by spells, but it sounds like I was the one who was taken most advantage of. He didn't make you do something as degrading." Connor shrugged and sat down by Why'nn. "So...What's this 'mindscape' you keep talking about?"
