[Lost Echo]

“So theatrical Ms. Rain.” There was no pity in their voice. “We perform music here, not tragedies.” Filris turned and set their instrument in its stand. Speaking as they did so, “You suffer because you are alone Ms. Rain. So desperate for someone to suffer with you.” They sat down on their chair, their dress spreading out and covering the seat. “You have no music in your soul, but I am willing, as always, to study it. It is your choice.” With that they dismissed her, focusing instead on the Dullahan once more. “Your soul is made for music. As I said, if violin is what it cries for, then we shall experiment until we find a solution.” This time they smiled with far too many teeth, eager to start. Then they glanced at the sun, their mouth twisting. “But alas, Ms. Rain has wasted our time. Lunch will soon be upon us. I presume you eat?”

Kendi Paris "Prem" Karlek

Prem wasn't used to being alone. There was always someone there to guide him to where he needed to go. Perhaps it was better that he was on his own here now. They'd have to learn how to fend for themselves.
Of course, that was if Prem wanted to. Which he didn't.
Again they were left alone, and they could feel the solitude in the empty hall.
A sudden rush of wind passed them and blew their hair about. Prem flinched as a figure walked out in front of them.

It was the guy from earlier. Prem could feel as the world around him became a little lighter. "If you don't know where to go. Ask.. Or Follow." His voice was like a north star guiding him on a dark night. Prem wasn't sure quite what to think; this was an unusual man. He acted so tough and intimidating, but gave him a jacket and offered to guide him. Prem was quite sure that he was a good guy. They felt a smile creep on their face and skipped to keep up with him.

"My name is Kendi Paris Karlek, but everyone calls me Prem." his voice was quite chipper now; it seems all of his nervousness had faded away now. He was all smiles and happiness now. Prem rolled his luggage next to him. They turned now though to look at the strange man, who was slowly becoming a friend. "What's your name handsome?" Prem was smiling at him prettily and gave him a little wink for good measure. Maybe, he was the one? What if he was the one that could make his life complete?

Yoko watched as Jolene made their exit. He didn't seem so upset that they didn't shake his hand, thus he pulled his arm backwards and bent it up just a little to meet his face, giving a small wave towards Jolene as she walked off. She couldn't see it of course, but he thought it a friendly gesture to wish others a good sleep.
The air grew tense now with Violet and Yoko being the only two in the dorm now. alltogether she ignored his handshake much like Jolene did, but with justification. This made Yoko smile gently, and even chuckle a to himself a little within the inner-workings of his mind.

"Please, no offense taken. I respect your boundaries as much as I'm sure you would respect mine." Yoko responded while he folded his hands between one another.

"So what are you exactly?" Violet asked

Yoko gave a small smile as she inquired. Should he answer honestly? Or give her a roundabout answer? Well, it wouldn't matter so much to know what he was, would it?

"Well, you asked- I suppose I shall answer. I am a Nightmare Demon. I assure you I won't go snooping in your dreams." Yoko sat down in a seat opposite to Violet.
"To clarify, I was trying to be...kind." Yoko said as if he needed to process the word itself, the result being satisfactory. "I'm unsure how you've been treated by others, especially this Academy...But I have no qualms with you! Thus I'm sure I won't need to antagonize you in the slightest." Yoko's smile never broke, but he seemed honest in his words.
"In time I'm sure we'll get to know one another better, If I am to be frank with you I am quite boring in general." Yoko finished and stood back up. Placing his luggage towards a corner of the room and went towards the door leading out to the halls. He stopped just short, and turned his head to Violet slowly.
"I'm not sure if you care, and you certainly don't have to take the offer...But if you'd like to learn more about Black Magic I am very much available, only a knock away." Yoko approved of his stupid joke, and left the room.

Yoko gambled on a 50/50 chance Violet would take such an offer with no strings attached. Maybe leaning more to a 30/70. The invitation was left open for Violet either way. After all, Yoko Igami found genuine excitement for Violet's dream- why not help usher her forward with her sisters? That was his entire goal for senior year anyway, wasn't it? To help students press onward to their goal?

Sato seemed to ignore the little rabbit before him, skipping and hopping beside him happily: as if the help Sato offered was enough to renew their life. Sato's morose expression did not change.
Kendi Paris Karlek.
Prem.
That was the little rabbit's name. Sato's eye lazily drew itself forward to the chipper one beside him. The only thing on Sato's mind at the time...Was the grating sound of Prem's luggage hitting the ground. Sato's hearing was exceptional, and more often than not noises never really bothered him. But Prem's luggage seemed so noisy, enough for Sato to wonder how Prem could ignore it all. The scowl deepend across Sato's face, and he decided to take matters into his own hands.
"Let me take that." Sato grumbled gently to Prem.
His hand reached for Prem's luggage, snatching it almost. Picking it up and lifting it over his shoulder to keep it from banging against the ground with Prem's skipping. Finally the irritating noise ceased to exist.
Sato didn't think Prem would care if he carried the luggage, it felt weightless to him. Sato has lifted objects capable of crushing ordinary men before. Hell this was a once in a lifetime gesture of friendliness! Sato never cared enough to help others..So why now? Perhaps his new admirer was rubbing off on him. A defenseless creature was often compared to being cute...Could he be growing an attachment? A friendship towards Prem?

"What's your name handsome?" Prem cheekily asked, with a wink to boot.

Sato gave a grunt in response, first. How silly of Prem to ask for his name.
"I like your name." Sato responded next, and it was true. It had a nice ring to it, and rolled off the tongue easily, especially the nickname.
"My name is Sato Sukuna. I have not been nicknamed handsome before." Sato finished. The compliment didn't weird him out at all, he was actually shocked by it.

Sato was not so sure why Prem called him handsome. Perhaps they were trying to be nice in their own way much like Sato was towards Prem.

Sectula watched the Entire exchange happen with her usual expression, a look that indicated that she thought she had better things to do than watch this, yet she found herself watching for reasons she didn't understand...Was she....Touched? Touched right in her Bio-Mechanical heart? That was likely the case even if she herself denied it before she coughed into her hand,

"Well well well, I see the Expendable of wrath has returned, complete with a new friend." Sectula spoke up, "and fortunately, I have also returned. My unfortunate Entry into your little club against my will being besides the point. I have news I think we're both not gonna like, apparently we're to be Roommates this year." She then looked at Prem and pointed at him "Who is he anyways? I don't think I've seen him before."

From being in a sprawled out position, Clyde sprung upward in panic, awakening from a magicked sleep. His hooves made a noise like the crack of a whip against the tiled floor. Observing his surroundings, he appeared to be at the end of a vast hallway. A look of uncertainty adorned his face as he approached the nearest door and knocked. There didn't seem to be anyone else around, but he figured that someone might be behind one of the many doors.
"Hello?" He called, his voice and his ears both shaking a bit.

Faunus didn't think that if he even had more than one roommate, that anybody but robot with a conspicuous letter M on his forehead would be named Metalikhan. Though he wasn't letting it on, that was just about the extent of what he knew about this roommate. He didn't want to look like an uninvolved fool to someone who had just called him a meatbag and was to be his roommate to boot.

Astra turned to her sister to reassure her, closing her wings partially.

"Just get your luggage and get into the school," snapped the shorter of their captors.
The other piped up: "Or you could leave it all with us. It'll fetch a pretty penny, I'm sure."
"No, no, we're taking it. Astra began to take her and July's luggage from the back of the truck, her manner almost frantic. She hooked one bag to the thumb of one of her wings, even, so that it wouldn't remain in the truck. "Carry whatever you can, Julie. I'll help you with the rest."


Finbar Cody & Stephanie Rain

At first, Stephanie couldn't formulate her riposte to her own liking. She thought about it for a while, her teary eyes locked upon Filris's face.

Finbar's stomach growled about the moment that Filris mentioned lunch.
"I do, and I'm just about gut-foundered."

Steph, meanwhile, was nauseated. The thought of lunch was aversive to her, but she knew that eating might ease her nausea and nerves. Still, she had to address Filris's insulting speculation that she was desperate for someone to suffer with her.

"You don't know me," Stephanie retorted, however late she was to reply, "I suffer because I've watched my dearest friends get killed and experimented on and tortured, and some of them were revived just for it all to happen over and over again until the school had no more use for them, or they became too much of a threat to the way things work here."

"Likely kidnapped?" The gears in Jamie's head turned. Ey were putting two and two together, though the answer wasn't yet four. "You kidnapped me?"

Ochako Miyamoto, A.K.A Super great Evil demon empress orochi (Self Proclaimed)



Ochako Miyamoto was fuming when she entered the doors of Tudor Lestrange academy. As far as she was concerned, she wasn't here willingly even if she wasn't among the students that Rumors had it, were kidnapped for a school year here.

No, the reason why she was here was due to something just as out of her control as a theoretical abduction, she'd been enrolled in the wrong school by mistake. She was supposed to go to the Sin city school of Sinister strivings, To Vegas! But Nooooo she had to go to some dumb boarding school in Ohio! The only redeeming feature about this school so far was how Evil it looked!

"Name?" Suddenly a voice interrupted her Internal ramblings. While Ochako was almost tempted to yell at the clerk that had interrupted her ramblings, she pushed her feelings of rage down and took a deep breath.

"Ochako Miyamoto" she said calmly If a little on edge, in response the clerk got up and retrieved some keys from a lockbox after looking through her computer.

"Your dorm information and orientation information is on the papers, that should be enough to get you started, have a nice day." The clerk said before returning to their work, ochako walked away looking through her papers, she saw that she'd be sharing her dorm with a Julie and Astra Stiles. They didn't sound like the worst roommates ever but she didn't care about them at the moment.

"Well, let's get this glorified Shit show over with." She said screechily.

Filris was ignoring Stephanie. She was merely a pest. Instead, they focused on Finbar. “Eat if you must. When you return, I will have a violin for us to experiment with.” Even after the girl got the guts to reply, they barely glanced at her. “Again with the theatrics, Ms. Rain. Why don’t you be useful and take the Dullahan to the cafeteria? You can continue your desperate attempts at friendship and maligning the school there.”
StrixDesmodus (Finbar and Stephanie)

Etta’s glare sharpened, though their aim didn’t change. “No. I did nothing.” Their voice condemned themselves. “Tudor Lestrange, which prides itself on creating evil.” Was that disgust in their voice? They needed to get themselves under control. “Kidnapped you. They do it to students to make them the targets of the maniacs.” They lowered their gun completely, though they didn’t holster it. “I gave you your best choices. Turn evil or find someone strong enough to protect you. The other one is just to suffer.”

They glanced towards the wood adding, “You’re welcome to try, but when you get caught, you won’t be able to try again—some magic bullshit.” They shrugged, turning their back on the child. Like they have for every one of them. They’d failed so many. Would their love even want them after they freed him from this place? It didn’t matter. As long as he was safe. They did not fear retaliation. This one seemed untouched by the school’s taint for now. “Plus, any punishment here is just torture.”

Jamie Dun
Lost Echo (Now open for interaction.)

Jamie took in the words, which did not make entire sense to em. Evil? Tudor Lestrange? Wasn't he that American who ran his mouth about Evil? A lot of people where she was from were vocal about how Americans were losing their collective minds, citing his rants as evidence of that. Jamie thought it was unfair to judge an entire country based on the actions of one person, but now wondered just how many followers he had.

When Eta turned away, gun and all, limited relief came to Jamie. Now, they considered their options. ey could run away, but there was the possibility of getting caught. But staying didn't seem like a good idea. Turning away from the forest, she decided to see what entering the building would bring. It might provide some sort of answer, though to which question of those that ey had, ey were unsure.


Stephanie Rain & Finbar Cody
Lost Echo (Now open for interaction.)

"I guess I'll be back when I've eaten, then. See ya later." Finbar still hadn't processed much. The primary occupation of his mind was the violin, though the mystery of how he got here was also gnawing at him. As it was difficult to see most people's faces with his head in his hands, he hadn't realized that Stephanie was crying until it became audible.
The musician, whom he realized too late that he didn't know the name of, was indeed harsh, but it seemed to him that "Ms. Rain," was handling it until it hit them both like a ton of bricks.

Stephanie took a deep breath, wordlessly exiting the room, Fin following. Her gait was quickened with anxiety, and now that she was away from Filris she stopped her attempts at repressing her emotions.

"You don't want to keep your head down." Stephanie began, now sounding positively miserable, "I respect that. But you don't understand what's going on here, do you?"

"Can't say I do. None of this seems real, if I'm being completely honest." There was audible guilt in Fin's voice.

Stephanie's voice steadied slightly, "It didn't feel real to me at first too. A lot of it didn't feel real for a while, but it is very real."


Clyde Oddbald
Sir loin of beef

It hadn't occurred to Clyde that it could be lunchtime. Being part horse meant thon was always hungry, let alone being what might be called a "hard keeper." His body metabolized food rather quickly, and the energy was easily burned off.
It occurred to thon that this Count Vladimir might also be hungry, and that thon might end up on the menu. It was known to Clyde that vampire attacks on sapient creatures were a rarity in the modern age and that the statistical numbers for that seemed to be going downwards, but given that this was unfamiliar territory and he had no idea how he got here, this Count Vladimir seemed like he might be a threat. Plus the whole "who dares" thing-
And the whole "Count" and " King" thing. Of course, that was of more political distaste to Clyde, who was no royalist.
"Lunch? I think there's something more pressing to address. I am hungry myself, but I have some questions. Actually, a lot of questions.... Sir." Something told Clyde that he was expected to either cower or use a more grandiose title to address this royal vampire. But thon could barely muster calling him "sir."
Clyde, of course, didn't even know that there was a cafeteria to go to, let alone what a dreadful place he had wound up in.
"As for who dares.... I'm Clyde."

"Hey beautiful," a girl in conspicuous witch garb addressed.
Grace rolled her eyes.
"I have too many chromosomes for you!"
"Whatever. I'm not gonna waste my time on your.... Chromosomes. Forget it." The witch could not sound nearly as haughty as Grace, however she tried.
"Believe me, I will." Grace's riposte surprised the witch enough that she just stood there while Grace walked off in search of Vex, Malice, or Igor.
Soon, she saw Igor and Malice sitting at a corner table, and approached them.
"Where is Vex?" She asked, not bothering with a greeting. By now, Igor and Malice were used to it.
"He's outside, trying to fight some weirdo with a newspaper." Malice disclosed.
"What are you doing here?" Igor asked, his feathered brow crinkling in concerned curiosity.
"It's supposed to be a surprise for Vex. I'd better go see if he needs help."

With that, Grace exited the cafeteria at a quickened pace, searching for Vex.

Dr. Corey Crank

Dr. Crank calculated what to say. In these six years, it still never got easy.
"I'm Dr. Crank, and I promise I'm here to help. Not many people in a place like this are, but I do hope to be someone you can trust." Dr Crank's head was full of compunction, but it was all useless. You cannot do anything for them but help them bide their time. He told himself that all the time, but sometimes wondered if biding time was worth the effort for anyone at TLI.
"I have a few questions, but they might be better asked in private. Even if you two trust each other, there are many others who may take interest here. " He told the two, mentally assessing the wounds on the one who had been addressed as Dani. They appeared to not be new, but with the knowledge that Dani was a vampire it could be deduced that looks were deceiving in this case. The wounds could be more recent than the untrained eye would think.

Dani felt like this was the moment the child got in the car to be kidnapped. She didn't want to go anywhere with this man, even if there was something almost neutral about him. Her eyes roved over him, trying to figure out what it was. It wasn't like they were safe where they were anyway. He could still reach her. Glancing back at Matthew, she said, "Okay. I'll go with you." What was the worst thing he could do? Kill her? Then she looked at the other boy. He didn't deserve to die. "Will Matthew be safe too?"

Dr. Corey Crank, Persephone Skinner
Sunfall27 Lost Echo

"Believe me, nobody is safe around here," Dr. Crank warned, "But today is not the day to try to escape, if any day is. They're on high alert today because that's when the new students are most likely to try to. It's what happened to me, although I technically was never a student here."
He wished he could say something comforting with any relative honesty, but he would say nothing of the sort since he would not give false hope. There's nothing like when "It's going to be ok." is a flagrant lie.

A woman dressed in an emerald green muumuu and a pair of fake horns, Mrs. Skinner, approached in a hurried fashion from behind the doctor, a scolding look on her face.
"He's not scaring you, is he?" She didn't wait for an answer from anyone to say, "Don't scare the kids, Corey."

Dr. Crank turned to her, perturbed.
"You mean warning them. You don't want me to warn them."
"Well it does scare them off, and you know what happens then, Doc."
He had some choice words for her about the material her handbag was made of, but decided not to say it in front of the Dani and Mathew.

 

[Lost Echo]

The honesty helped Dani relax. While she was hoping to be safer, away from Him, she knew safety was an illusion. It was just ignorance. She’d felt safe at home, riding the trails, but that was fake. Stupidity. The lie did nothing to keep her safe.

She was about to say she’d come, when some lady in fake horns came up. She was obviously human: Dani could smell the blood in her veins--wait, that was what the doctor was missing…pushing that thought aside, she focused on the lady who seemed to be in charge. “He’s not very scary.” And neither was she, even if the man--what was he?--seemed to submit to her. No, she knew her fear. It felt like he still lingered right behind her ear. There might be things worse than vampires, but humans no longer scared her.

Persephone Skinner & Dr. Corey Crank
Lost Echo


Persephone made a sort of eye contact with Dr. Crank that both warned and studied if he would heed the warning. It seemed such a waste when students escaped, and it seemed even more so when they inevitably were returned to campus.

When Dani answered that Corey didn't scare her, she looked to the girl with an affable smile.
"Good. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking you can't cope with everything that happens." Her tone was meant to be encouraging, and the implications, though vague on her end, were also intentional. Of course, she did believe- perhaps a bit too much- in the power of coping mechanisms, even those which could not fix things.
Heck, those that made things worse.
She did, after all, cope with her husband's disagreements with her by murdering him. And she coped with the fact that she killed him by making a purse out of his skin. To this day, she copes with being a high-profile fugitive stuck on-campus indefinitely by extolling the virtuous vices of microplastics. She'll tell you she's happy to be s positive influence.

"That's about all most people can do," replied Dr. Crank solemnly, "That and have hope. "

(Open for interaction in an intentionally vague location)


Faustian flailed and screeched to consciousness, their faithful pet clinging to their shoulder per Faustian's last order: "stay close."
"Where am I‽" she shouted, not yet in the accent she would later adopt. They were yet unaware if they were shouting into a void. They were afraid to open their eyes.
The last thing she could remember was the feeling of being grabbed from behind and feeling something being smeared on her forehead. Having heard of parents hiring people to "transport" their kids to dodgy reform programs by way of ambush, her first thought was that this meant that she was at such a place. After all, their parents had threatened it for years, and the threats seemed more and more sincere when they found out that their kid had dug up their deceased pet rat and experimented on it in such a manner that turned it into a gelatinous monstrosity, which by now had grown much larger than its original size.

 

[Lost Echo]

Cope. Well that was scary. She wasn’t foolish enough to think he’d let her out in a place that wasn’t also evil, but she wasn’t sure she could even envision anything worse than what he’d done. But he was doing this too wasn’t he? Swallowing hard, Dani looked down and away from the lady, nodding vaguely. The dead doctor’s comment didn’t help much. She wanted to get away. She knew the futility of running, but she couldn’t quell the urge.

Pulling the paper out once more, she looked at the names for the room assignment. “Do either of you know a Rathbone or Boomer?” Were there other kidnapped students like her? Her eyes flicked to Mathew. He seemed kind. Could you be kind and evil? She eyed the two adults for their reactions. If the man was worried or the woman pleased, then it would definitely be a bad sign.

Mrs. Persephone Skinner & Dr. Corey Crank
Lost Echo


Each of the two staff members thought hard about whether they had met a Rathbone or a Boomer. Mrs. Skinner was the type of teacher who prided herself on knowing her students. Dr. Crank was once the physician counterpart of that philosophy, priding himself on knowing his patients, but when over half of them are remorseless criminals who get away with it, it kind of destroys the warm fuzzies.

"Never heard of them. Are they supposed to be your roommates?" Asked Persephone. She reasoned also that because she couldn't recall their names, they weren't staff members.

Dr. Crank, meanwhile, looked again at the wound on Dani's arm.

The College of Biology Mutant Squad
A Mysterious Black van pulled up to the school with the words "College Of Biology" written on it in big black letters, On a Black Van, (Good Job on that one Doctor Brainiac) and the Slogan "Putting Natural selection to the test with Horrific Crimes against God since 2009."

The Humanoid Mosquito girl was shoving her elbow into The Mantis Mutants Stomach, he responded by trying to grab her with his Forelimbs, Both of them then fell onto the lap of a Lion man who Grabbed both of them by the neck and growled while someone in metal armor and a Humanoid entity with seaweed for hair just sat there silently when the van suddenly stopped. The driver, a Middle aged man with a "Paragus type" Mustache turned to look in the back of the van.

"Alright Evevyvone. Ve have Arrived." The scientist then turned to look at the mutants "Now get to steppin, I ain't having you guys be even later than you already are. And leo, Let imago and Female mosquito go."

"Ugh, Fine as you Wish Doctor." The lion man who was now identified as Leo let go of the Mutants identified as Female mosquito and Imago. the metal armored guy opened the door and walked out of the van, the other mutants would proceed to follow and Soon they were all inside and heading towards their dorms and or the cafeteria.

"Eweehgh... P-Please... I-If it's not to much trouble, d-don't shout... I-I'm not fond of loud... Loud noises and..." The voice that came after she shouted was meek. In fact, it was one of the most shy and unimposing voices Faustian had ever heard.

"W-We're actually supposed to give these pamphlets out to prospective members of the student body. B-But most of the people tasked with it don't do it for kidnapees. O-Overlord Domineuse insists th-that I do that for all of you... W-Well.. J-Just one of you... I-I suppose... I pulled the long straw a-and got the smallest group this time... H-Well.. Technically he did but.. Domineuse is terribly cautious about getting physically very close t-to kidnapees..."

Faustian would hear the fwipping of a paper as said pamphlet was pushed towards her chest, and then dropped hastily on her lap.

Faustian opened her eyes, taking the paper in one hand and slowly getting up. Plasmodius Rex immediately dropped to the floor to keep from weighing Faustian down. This made a muffled slapping noise.
Reading the paper answered some questions for Faustian, though they still had many.
"Why just me?" Faustian asked, their volume now lowered. Relieved as she was not to be going to some kind of reformatory, she had some questions about Tudor Lestrange Institute.




Clyde Oddbald

"Kidnapped...." Clyde was nonplussed. He almost laughed at the idea that he was kidnapped but nobody bothered to tie him up by the time he awakened, but it occurred to him that his kidnappers could be confident in more powerful forces than ropes or zip ties keeping him from escaping.

"And this is a school?"


Clyde was about to re-formulate the question, but the public address system soon came on.

(This is an announcement to be heard by all on school grounds.)


In the office behind the front desk, a phone timer went off. Grant tapped the screen to dismiss it, then picked up a microphone, turned it on, and began his announcement, to be heard both indoors and outdoors.

"Evil afternoon, students and staff of Tudor Lestrange Institute! The time is 12:30 and lunch is now being served in the cafeteria. Multiple meal options are available as always."



Grace Buteo & Vex Von Brandt
(Open for interaction on the way from the front lawn to the cafeteria.)

"Come on Vex, It's time for lunch!" Grace shouted when she could finally see Vex, "That loser isn't worth our time."

Vex jerked around, utterly bewildered by Grace's presence. Wasn't she supposed to be back in New York?
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, It's a long story. Aren't you happy to see me?"
"Yeah, but what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to win your heart, duh. Now you go keep a good spot for us in the cafeteria. Just 'cause you can't eat doesn't mean We can't sit together."

Chance 304-Delta (Responding to Faustian Sparks & Plasmodius Rex StrixDesmodus )

Faustian opened her eyes, taking the paper in one hand and slowly getting up.

Faustian was greeted by the sight of a small girl, maybe around 20 but underdeveloped in terms of height and weight, who didn't look like she got enough to eat. Immediately, Faustian would notice the girl's almost alien digitigrade legs and long hooked tail.

"Why just me?" Faustian asked, their volume now lowered. Relieved as she was not to be going to some kind of reformatory, she had some questions about Tudor Lestrange Institute.

"Th-The memo they gave me s-says that your interest in necrotic regeneration and reanimation has become a-an interest of the school..." She says. "I-I'm not permitted to know about th-the selection process... Overlord Domineuse says that it's b-better for me to only be told what I need to know." She pushes the tips of her fingers together, revealing she has only 3 fingers on each shaking, pale hand.

"Y-You were being sent to a reformatory... To-To my knowledge... But you were intercepted by one of the surgical robotic strike-teams o-on loan from the Lemilostan military. T-Tudor lestrange works very closely w-with the Overlord's country... As do many other schools for villainy... I-Including the one in Vegas.. D-Domineuse plays... Both sides... He th-thinks that the fact that schools are so petty as to insist to use Lemilostan as a middleman rather than forming their own internal network is a... foolish thing... B-But... I-It suits him to have that kind of leverage... So I think he doesn't mind in the end...." She explains.

"O-Oh... I-I'm sorry... I'm talking too much... You don't really need to know all the rest of that..."

Mamimi Lordgenome (Open for interaction in the cafeteria)

Mamimi had actually yet to go to her dorm all day, she had mostly been walking around the school for that matter. She had already made it to the cafeteria whenever many kids were just arriving. Gotten ahold of several servings of food and was eating them with monstrous efficacy, with little to no detriment to her body in spite of her relatively small stature for such a meal.

Bullette Holes & Peppermint Dreadful (Open for interaction on the way too the cafeteria)

Bullette and Peppermint, in this retcon, had ended up meeting each-other pretty soon after Bullette had left to her room, having met in the hallway. They decided to get to know each other intimately, walking together to the school's cafeteria with the full intent of sitting together. Though the idea that either of those monstrosities needed to eat was questionable at best.

Junko & Yuri Tanukana
​

Junko and Yuri were jolted from their activities by an announcement echoing through the institute. Lunch was underway. Junko, with music blaring through her headphones, turned to Yuri, eyes wide, silently asking if they should go. Yuri sighed, remembering how much Junko relied on Violet for guidance. With Violet absent, that responsibility now fell on her.

Yuri nodded, and Junko swiftly removed her headphones and stood up.

"Violet might be there," Yuri suggested, noticing Junko's sudden burst of energy as she started getting ready. Sneakers on, computer off, Junko was nearly out the door before Yuri had even laced up her shoes.

As they stepped into the hallway, Junko froze, staring at their empty flatmate's room. All their things were gone.

"Probably got reassigned," Yuri speculated. "Or maybe they were in the wrong dorm? Who'd pass up having two rooms to themselves?" Satisfied with the explanation, Junko continued down the hall with Yuri following close behind.

Junko soon fell in step behind Yuri, who pulled out a map from the welcoming package they’d received upon arrival. Students were streaming out of rooms, heading towards the dining hall. Amid the hum of conversations, Yuri and Junko walked in silence. Normally, Violet’s chatter filled the quiet, but without her, Junko seemed even more reticent than usual.

The dining hall was bustling, a vast space rapidly filling with students. Junko’s eyes darted around, searching for their sister. Yuri scanned the room as well, both eager to reunite with Violet and discover what the school had to offer for lunch.

Violet Tanukana
As the echo of an announcement filled the room, Violet’s gaze remained fixed on Yoko. The proclamation served as a reminder that it was half past noon and lunch was being served. Although Violet wasn’t particularly famished, the prospect of lunch presented an opportunity to observe her potential classmates. Not to mention the chance of encountering her sisters.

As the announcement faded, Violet quickened her pace to keep up with Yoko. “Shall we head to the cafeteria for lunch?” she suggested, her tone striving for cheerfulness despite an underlying caution. “I’d like you to meet my sisters. It would be a good opportunity to discuss your generous offer with all of us present. We don’t encounter many demons where we’re from, especially not ones as amicable as you.”

Violet had dabbled enough in the Dark Arts to maintain a healthy wariness around demons. They were known for their cunning and mischief, always seeking a foothold in the mortal plane. Yet, Yoko seemed to have already achieved that, negating the need for mind games or potential backstabbing.

Violet had to admit her knowledge of demons and their motivations was limited. The texts mentioning demons were ancient and passed down through generations, making them unreliable. As stories pass from one person to another, they often morph until they’re barely recognizable.

Before long, Violet and Yoko entered the bustling dining hall. The sound of familiar voices calling her name interrupted Violet’s reflective thoughts. Her two younger sisters, Junko and Yuri, were weaving their way through the crowd of students towards them. Junko halted abruptly upon noticing Yoko and instinctively moved behind Yuri.

“Hope your roommates are decent. Ours seems to have been replaced,” Yuri commented as they all settled at an empty table.

“I believe students are still arriving. So, give it some time. Hopefully, you didn’t scare them off,” Violet responded, eliciting a frown from Yuri and a smirk from Junko. “This is Yoko,” she gestured towards her roommate. “He’s a Nightmare Demon, in the flesh, so to speak, and he has a generous offer for us.”

Junko’s smirk vanished as the two younger sisters regarded the demon with suspicious glares. “I’ll leave you three to get acquainted while I fetch us some food,” Violet told Yoko. “You can fill them in, and when I return, we can discuss any potential plans when you go up to get your meal. Does that sound good?” Without waiting for a response, Violet was up and away with surprising speed.

That left Yoko alone with the two younger sisters, their curious yet cautious gazes fixed on him.

Francis Sato
(Conspicuously open for interaction In the cafeteria.)

In this retconned version of events, Francis woke up in the cafeteria just in time for the food to be placed at serving stations. Each food he browsed was labeled, most relatively innocuous. Sandwiches made with relatively ordinary meats, A salad bar, blood for vampires and other hematophages. Still, one dish stood out.
"Atlantic halibut!?" Francis read aloud, "But that can't be right. Those are endangered."


Faustian Sparks & Plasmodius Rex
Lady Moldoma

Faustian scanned Chance up and down. Listening intently to what she said, Faustian tried not to stare too hard at the features that differed from what they were used to seeing. Faust's hometown was predominantly human-populated. They didn't treat nonhuman people very well around there, but Faust was still taught not to stare at them.
"It's ok. I'm sure glad to have answers, and I'm glad to hear that someone's recognizing my potential. Mom and Dad, well, you already know where they were sending me. It's a miracle I've still got Rex here."
As though on cue, the slime creature scampered back to its creator. It leaned against Faustian's leg, as though it were still afraid of being separated from them.
"And one more thing. You've probably got the wrong name for me. Call me Faustian- Faustian Sparks. Or Faust for short. "

"Yeah i Know Pretty great huh?" A Deep booming voice said, Francis would See that its owner was...A Great white shark with Arms and legs? And he was running past him towards the Atlantic Halibut, Grabbing some and putting it on his tray the shark man left one halibut in his claws and threw it in his mouth. "Granted its not as Rewarding as the hunt itself but...MMMMM That's Some good Halibut, More than i expected from a mere Surface School."

 

[Lost Echo]

Well, no recognition was probably a good thing. At least Dani hoped so. At the doctor’s prompting, she shifted her arm, grimacing as she tried to raise it up. It was as if she’d been dragged by the arm. It wasn’t out of the socket, but many of the muscles had been torn. She was healing though, her body using up the blood she’d been given while unconscious.

She turned to look up at the school as an announcement rang throughout. “Multiple meal options…does that mean?” She asked, looking at the doctor in almost hope. She couldn’t say the word. She didn’t want Mathew to think she was a monster. But if she could get blood, donated blood instead of hurting someone…
