The redhead chuckled as he looked back at Onyx. “Well, a lot has happened. There’s some sort of tension between Jade and Phoenix, Phoenix and Ophelia are a couple now, I had my first slow dance, I’m getting over Ophelia, and plenty of other stuff. So, in other words, I’m doing pretty well.” He summed some stuff up, listing off some of the major things that have been going on.
If he had to be honest, he missed having Onyx around. He didn’t know why, but it just didn’t feel the same without her. He considers her a friend, and he wanted to know her better. Pyro fixed his hair a bit before saying, “So, What’s been going on with you, Onyx? I want to know what’s been happening, since we haven’t seen each other in a while.” He asked with his usual polite smile.

“Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit I’m late I’m late I’m late I’m late I’m late I’m late!” were the words of our panicked fashionista, as she rushed to get ready, quickly sowing up a cute medium-sized blue dress. Nothing too fancy, but she at least had to look a little sexy. “Damn it all! Why did I end up taking a nap!?” She angrily berated herself.
So, here’s the gist. Val was working on making the blue dress she sew in the present. When she was about halfway done, she decided to take a five minute break. Well... the five minute break turned into a ten minute break. Then a fifteen minute break. Twenty. Twenty-five. Thirty. She then took a small nap. At least, she thought it would be a small nap. When she woke up, she looked at her scroll and saw that she was late to the party!
But anyway, back to the present. The brunette had just put on the dress and was currently brushing her hair, checking to make sure there weren’t any nooks or crannies. She then sprayed some perfume onto herself and put her favorite blue heels on. She also had her purse/weapon with her, in case a Grimm attacked. After applying some lip balm, she ran out of the door, nearly falling on her face a few times.
“Gotta make it, gotta make it, gotta make it!” Val muttered to herself as she ran to the outskirts of the forest. It took a little while, but she finally made it. She put her hands on her knees and pants softly. “I... made it...” She wheezed a bit before looking up at the decorations. “Damn... that looks beautiful...” She said as she managed to catch her breath.

Ophelia smiled as she lead Nix around the party, she knew he wasn't the most comfortable around people, but she loved interacting with others. In a crowd she shines, her face brightened as she gracefully weaved through the crowd. Greeting others and helping in the way she can as she maneuvered along with Nix by her side. Feeling the strength of him beside her only made her shine even more in a social gathering. Picking up a glass of water Ophelia continued walking with the others, making sure that she didn't take a sip herself.

Once all was said and done and there was a window of freedom Ophelia turned around as Nix's hand went too her waist. Taking a step forward she smiled up at him with love in her eyes as she chuckled warmly. "I don't know about easy. I just really like to talk with people. I had a pretty lonely childhood, and I have to admit, I always depend on the kindness of strangers. So I try my best to be kind to everyone I meet." Resting her free hand against his chest she leaned up to meet his lips, kissing him gently before breaking it. Her cheeks a bit warm as she smiled warmly. "Besides with you beside me it makes everything easier."

The couple stood there for a moment before Ophelia extended a arm holding the glass out, where only a few moments later Valentine arrived. Turning to her Ophelia smiled warmly. "Thank you Valentine, I'm so glad to have you here. Please have some water and feel free to socialize with the other guests. We'll be presenting the cake shortly, until then have fun and enjoy yourself. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you."

The Executioner

Location: Emerald Forest

@Tags: xAlter

To: Iola Sakra
From: FreezerBrain21
Sub: Where are you?
Msg: Hey short stack. Are you coming to the party or not?

Glancing at the message the executioner felt his cold heart skip a beat and rolled his eyes as his other self peeked through. "Really girlie? This chump?" Curious as to why it was so easy for him to chop that robochump into mince meat he had his answer in Orion. A smirk grew on his face, "can't love both of em, huh?" As he spent time watching through Iola's eyes he knew that Ivory wasn't the one for her, he flirted with every girl and eventually grew to ignore Iola. Not pushing the jealousy button the Ex had fun watching the girl grow insecure in her own beauty. It made it much easier to manipulate her to do what he wanted.

Flipping through the scroll he found the pictures of them together and he stroked his chin inspecting them, "well...I suppose I can. He is pretty handsome. And we most certainly go for the bad boy type don't we? I mean you got me after all." Snapping the phone in half he pocketed it before looking over at the weapon he had. Checking his weapon as he floated above the rest, hidden by the trees and the glare of the sun the Ex wished he'd spent more time working on his weapon rather than Iola's. However, that weapon was taken from him long ago, hidden in the Sakara family home by her brainless smother. "Whatever, this will do."

Rolling on his back he closed his eyes as he began to sunbathe as he waited for the guests of honor to arrive. "Crimson lover. I can't wait to see you yet again."

After a short detour to grab Bruno's weapon our pair of heros... Well hero and anti-hero, Bruno and Croc, raced though the forest to the party. Bruno and Croc after awhile of running though the forest made it the clearing in the forest and the party. The two were sweating and panting as the beginning catch their breath from run all the way from Beacon to the party with no breaks. "Bruno... next time... we take a vehicle or something" Croc commented as he tried catching his breath.

"It bit of hard labor and sweat never hurt anyone..." Bruno said smiling while he was panting and catching his breath.

"Some days I hate you are too upbeat..." Croc said annoyed.

After the pair caught there breath they ran over to Cirrus. "Cirrus we have a bunny problem... Ohh hello guys" Croc said as noticed Summer and Orion talking to Cirrus. "We need to borrow our team leader... Also happy birthday little rose" Croc said as Bruno and dragged him away. Once a distance away from the others Croc talked again. "Io gone mad! She killed a student and throw Bruno like a ragged doll at me before running off! We don't know were she's at but we think she'll attack the party sense almost the all the freshmen will be here" Croc said trying to whisper to Cirrus.

Akashi Taurus

Location: Team STAR Dorm to Party Nearby: eventually pretty much everyone
@Tags: @aanyone

Akashi's room was enveloped in darkness, the only light coming from Akashi's scroll as he played a game while wrapped in several blankets. He hadn't moved much since half his team's disappearance. It's not like he was sad or anything, it was just kind of boring now. He had fun messing with Azure, as painful as the backlash was. She hated him, which made it all the more fun. And Robyn, his partner. She was fun to mess with, but he tended not to. It only looked like it inconvenienced her more then anything. But she was the only person in his team that didn't seem to hate the spontaneous kid that was Akashi. There was only one person on his tean to mess with, and it was the now depressed, team leader. If he was unprankable then, now he'd feel bad he messed with such a sad Schnee. What was he even doing? Actually, what was everyone doing? Nobody was around. I mean, was that party he got invited to today? Akashi pulled up his notes, where he knew he wrote down the invitation info. "Damn. I've never been so late to something. Stay calm, they know me. I'm almost always late. God fucking damn it!" Akashi finally yelled, switching from rational and calm to a hurried pace as he ran around his room to get ready.

After brushing his teeth while taking a shower and trying unsuccessfully to brush his hair while getting dressed, Akashi pushed through his dorm room armed with his weapons and dressed to impress, carrying a rather large white box in his arms. In it was his present; a statue of Summer made out of candy. He had one of a few people he knew, reason being he weirdly wanted to know what eating people would be like. Weird, but satisfying. He left school and headed towards the party he was supposed to attend earlier. "Man, if Big Bos- Orion doesn't get mad at me for being late I'm gonna be surprised. Very well then. Better come up with an excuse while I make my way over there. Hmmmm. I could go with..." He trailed off, taking essentially a fast stroll to the party.

At last, Akashi came strolling through the treeline, bobbing his head while listening to music. Like he wasn't late at all, he set down his present and looked around. "Hey, this is pretty good! Nice job to whoever did it!" He congratulated, slowly spinning to see everything. "I'm glad I'm not *too* late. Soooooo. What's going on?" He added, mostly speaking to himself. After all, he wasn't really aware of anyone near him yet. He kind of skimmed over them.​

Jade

Jade had just arrived when her scroll vibrated. "Yeah. I just got here. Wish I'd thought to bring speakers, the music could use a bit of spicing up...but I suppose it's not my party so I don't get much say" she said. Since the invite had gone out she had been slaving over her computer. If she wasn't doing schoolwork, or keeping an eye on Titan to make sure he didn't over do it, she was at her keyboard making the twin's birthday presents.

Spoiler: presents

Nix Summer

She was exhausted, but was proud of what she had made. Waving at them she held up two memory sticks, one red and one pink. "Where should I put them? Or do you wanna take them yourself?"

Cherry

@Tags: Hibiscus

Cherry knew she was running late, but she didn't really mind so much for a change.It sure has been a crazy week she thought to herself as she walked out of her dorm, ready to strap Sugar Blossom and Peppermint Round on. She was proud of how far Slate had come in just a matter of days. He'll find his way... As she walked out she noticed that he was just standing in the middle of the common room, not paying much attention. Smiling she snuck up behind him. Prodding him with the tip of the sheath/umbrella she announced loudly "Dead. You should really pay more attention Slate, especially since we're going in to the forest." Walking around him as she spoke she noticed the look on his face. "Hey, what the face for? Something bothering you?"

Orion smiled and thanked Summer and Cirrus for the kind words. Even if they never interacted much growing up, it was nice to know they still cared about him even after all this time. Even if he had basically ignored them, he tried to mend that rift between his cousins and himself. However, broken from his thoughts by a haggard looking Bruno and Croc, Orion almost had a suspicious feeling linger in his chest. The fact that he mentioned a 'bunny problem' was even more suspicious. Noticing Akashi, he frowned before turning to his cousin. "Excuse me Summer. I have a snake to skin."

Leaving behind his cousin, and passing Cirrus, Croc, and Bruno, he made it to Akashi. Looking over the Taurus heir, he let a small smile grace his lips before it turned lethal. Smashing a hand into Akashi's head, he glared at the snake. "Where the hell have you been? I woke you up and hour ago!" he nearly shouted as he reprimanded his teammate. "The fact that this is my family's birthday is even a bigger deal Akashi!" he said stressing his name. Stepping back, he looked over the snake. "At least you cleaned up nice."

"Oh well, ah..." She stammered out, looking down. "Well I went through rehab, for the most part. Learning to move this piece was a bit of a challenge. I also made some new weapons, decided to change it up a bit. And I... Found, someone..." She added the last part quickly and underhanded, as if it weren't important and she didn't want to mention it. She didn't like the sudden attention she was getting, but at the same time she enjoyed talking to someone other than a nurse.

"Also, I'm glad you realized Ophelia wasn't for you, and I'm glad you can accept it well enough to move on. It shows you are a good person." She told him, punching him in the arm.​

"Cirrus!" Summer exclaimed, happy to see her cousin, "Glad you could make it! I haven't been able to see much of you lately. Thanks for the extra drink." She was about to continue but saw Jade motioning towards what looked like flash drives from this distance. "I'll be right there!" she waved at the blond and looked over at her cousins. Croc and Bruno soon came up to them and took Cirrus away, but Orion soon saw his teammate arrive and excused himself. Almost shocked at what just happened, she exclaimed out loud, "Or I'll go now..."

Summer walked over to Jade, noticing the dear Faunus had arrived with his team leader, but no Skyler and Saffron. "Sage, what happened to Skyler and Saffron? Are they not coming?" she asked. "They're not coming I guess. They had to do something in Vale," he cleared the air before walking over to Cirrus. Trying not to over think it, she shrugged and finally made it to Jade. "What are those?" Summer asked the girl, instinctively taking the pink one, "Please tell me these are embarrassing photos you've take of Phoenix. You would be my favorite person right now." After a moment recalled her previous feeling toward the girl and decided it wasn't far to do that to her.

"Hey, Jade," Summer started as she scratched the back of her head, "I should thank you for keeping an eye on Titan... and apologizing for thinking you were taking him away from me... It's just hard to think of Titan anywhere else but my side. it wasn't fair of me to think of you are the bad guy I thought you were..."

As they walked, Phoenix couldn't help wondering why Ophelia had taken a glass of water and have taken a single drop. His mind left the glass of water as Ophelia responded to his statement and smiled at how happy she was. The smile only widening as soon as she kissed him. "Well, I'm glad I have that effect on you," he responded as he went to kiss her again, but the sudden arrival of Val made him stop to look at the gasping fashionista. "Welcome to the party," he said a bit awkwardly, "You would have been fine if you came late, Val. You know that, right?"

Nix's attention returned to the glass of water again, as Ophelia handed it to her before she ever took a single drink from it. What is up with this glass of water that she avoided it... He returned his attention to Val again as he continued, "Ah... yeah just enjoy the food and stuff... I guess. I'm not good with this whole hosting thing, sorry." He laughed a bit, trying to calm his growing nerves, but he gave Ophelia's waist a quick squeeze as it calmed him a bit.

Music was playing, food was ready to be eaten and the place was crawling with first years. Sage felt so out of place, but glad he had came to the party either way. He pulled out his phone as he was about to go and text Cirrus again, but noticed him with his team. "Schaffer," he started, "I'm going to go say hi to someone, I'll be right back." As he was about to go, Summer called out to him, asking about his cousin, but only told her that something came up.

Sage came up to Cirrus but didn't speak out as the guys look like they were in a middle of an intense conversation. He tried to look around and away from the three as he tried to busy himself from the conversation. As much as he tried he couldn't help hearing some of the conversation as Croc was not being very discreet. "Um..." he finally spoke out, "Sorry, but you guys really should keep your voice down if you don't want people to listen to your conversation... Whatever it is, it sounds dier... is there something I can help you guys with?"

Val perked up at the sound of Ophelia’s voice. She looked at the couple and smiled softly. “Hey there, you two.” She started. She nods and got the water the bluenette gave her, holding Sum’s present in her other hand. “Thanks, Ophelia. I’ll be sure to talk to you when I need something.”

She took a sip of the water as she heard Nix talk to her. She looked at him and said, “Nix, this is my best friend’s birthday party. It’s extremely crappy to be late to your own best friend’s birthday party, so I’m still gonna apologize to Sum when I see her.” She stated, taking another drink of water. The brunette chuckled at Nix. “No worries. There’s a first time for everything.” She shrugged. She saw Summer nearby and rubs her head a bit. “I’ll see you guys later. I’m gonna go apologize to Sum.”

Val quickly made her way towards her BFF. “H-Hey, uh, Sum? Can I speak to you for a moment.” She waited a bit for her answer before continuing. “So, um... I’m so so so so so so so sorry for being late! You see, I was sowing this really cute blue dress and I took a break, then I took a nap and when I woke up, I found out I was late and I rushed over here! I know it’s crappy to be late to my BFF’s party and I’m so sorry!” Val talked pretty fast, but it was easy to decipher what was just said.

Pyro nods, holding Sum’s present in his hand. “I see... I’m glad to see that you’re doing well.” Of course, he heard the last part. It’s just that he could tell she didn’t want to talk about it. So he decided to respect that.

The redhead rubbed his arm, blushing in embarrassment. “Stop it... You’re making me blush...” He chuckled. “But yeah, I’ve moved on. Besides, I kinda sort of like someone else...” He muttered the last part before changing the subject. “But anyway, I bet your team will be stoked to see you. They’ve really missed you.”

"No, it's just a mix...but I can take that back and start working on pictures like that instead if you'd rather that as a present Sum...I think I have one from when we were in vale and some kid with art supplies tripped got glitter all over Nix's pants somewhere" she said, laughing. Jade raised an eyebrow at Summer saying she thought Jade was a bad person. Well then...at least it's cleared up. "Don't even worry about it. After things blew up at the party, and it being at least partially my fault, I just had a feeling I should. I was sure he wouldn't stop training but since I don't think I've ever seen him without you or Nix and things were pretty not good at that point, so I thought someone should watch out for him. It's" she stopped as Valentine cut in. totally fine to interrupt a conversation to apologize for taking a nap, apparently.

Waving to Summer to let her have her conversation, Jade walked away. Seeing the other birthday child distracted she smiled. Too easy. Walking up behind Nix she spoke, imitating Summer's voice. "Here Nix, this is from Jade." Trying not to laugh she held out the flash drive.

Unable to come up with a viable excuse, Akashi told the truth. Well, a half truth."Well, that's a funny story, because I may or may have not forgotten about it to play games on my phone. But I was playing it, because bit gave me an idea for the present I was going to get Summer! So I slaved, working tirelessly to complete that game 100%, so that I could work on the idea I got in the tutorial. And then I made the present painstakingly, and got cleaned up. And as you said, pretty nicely." He explained. But, caught up in his confidence, added, "Haha! A masterpiece! Nobody could get past such a sound lie!" Out loud. Could it be that Akashi was socially retarded? No, he hoped not. 'Who tells the person that they are lying to, that they're lying to them!?' he got at himself. "Okay, well honestly, I almost forgot. I was playing a game. So I rushed over here with a present that I already made for her. I'm sorry Orion." He apologized, and took a step back himself. Bringing a gloved hand to his chin, he inspected his team leader. "Not to bad yourself, Boss! Looking good!" He complimented, and with an exaggerated spin for humor, have him a thumbs up. "You'll be ready for any girl that comes your way!"​

Summer smiled, "Thanks, Jade. Also thanks for the mix, I'll listen to it once I get back to my room." At the mention of her name, Summer turned around to see Val. "You made it!" she exclaimed but then looked at her friend a bit worried, "Ah sure..." She let Val pull her away, looking back to see Jade walk over to Nix. With a sigh, she turned back to her friend as she began her long story as to why she was late. Summer laughed, amused at the reasoning to apologize. "Val! You don't have to apologize!" Summer laughed, "As long as you made it, I don't care if you come at the last moment. I mean you would have missed out on the food, but I wouldn't have cared. You still came and that's all that matters!"

Summer gave her best friend a hug as she continued, "Just have fun and don't worry about it! Besides, I have friends to keep me busy." She smiled and did another look around, hoping to see Skyler but she was still nowhere to be. Even Titan was still absent, but then again he was not in the dorm in the morning when she was getting everything ready for the party.

Phoenix watched as Val left to where ever Summer was socializing at. He turned over to Ophelia and finally asked about the water. "It might be just my imagination, but... what was that with the glass of water?" he asked, "You seemed to just be holding on to it for no other reason then that..." He waited for her answer but the sudden voice of Summer caused him to turn around, only to find Jade. His smile fell on an annoyed one but soon returned to a smile as he laughed a bit. "I thought I told you to never do that," he laughed, "How do you even do that..."

Orion only bopped Akashi on the head with his lame excuse. The fact that he shouted out to the world he was lying was even lamer. "Akashi, sometimes I wonder if you were dropped on your head as a child. I really do." he said trying to figure out his teammate. Akashi and Orion's relationship became rather interesting. Although the sons of two sworn enemies, the relationship they had was almost brotherly. In the absence of Azure and Robyn, Akashi and Orion bonded over many things to the point they got along now. It still didn't stop the veiled threats and jabs they threw at each other. "And you also seem to have forgotten Io and I are dating now."

Swinging an arm around the shoulder of the snake, Orion brought Akashi towards Summer and Val. Waving to the Adel heir, Orion brought Akashi before his cousin. "Summer, this is the snake. Snake, this is my cousin." he said introducing the two.

"Yeah..." Was all Onyx managed to say, looking down a bit, rubbing the back of her head. She glanced up and saw Summer. "And there is one of them now. Goodbye Pyro." She said, ducking out of the conversation and walking over to if Summer. "Hey!" She said as she approached.

"So how have you been? It's been quiet for me, I guess you guys were busy. But enough about me, how are you? Anything interesting happen?" She asked her, letting her go afterward.

Ophelia Shayma

@Tags: KarenAKAMint Brinni Hibiscus

Looking up at Nix as he so adorably added his own pleasantries Ophelia couldn't help but fell her heart swell. It was very unpolished, but it was his style and she loved it all the same. Feeling him squeeze her waist as he became nervous.

"Oh that..." Turning away she tugged at her hair, blushing a bit she looked back up to Nix and continued. "...It's embarrassing but I have some sort of sixth sense when it comes to parties...I just know when people come thirsty or hungry. It's nothing big nor is it always right. I just enjoy taking care of others when I can." She shrugged embarrassed by it all, she knew better than to boast about something like being a good hostess. She was a bit glad he wasn't fully listening, it was somewhat lame in her option in the long run. Only her mom and Ren really were impressed by it.

Hearing Summer's voice from behind Nix she was a bit confused as summer was in the other direction. Peeking over Nix as he turned around she saw Jade and smiled at her. "That is some impressive voice mimicry, Jade."

Her party sense was tingling and she felt that it was soon time to bring out the cake as the others were getting antsy and a bit hungry. Also feeling a bit uncomfortable near Jade, Ophelia placed a hand on Nix's shoulder. "I'll leave you two to talk."

Making her way over to the concession stand she placed the candles on their cakes, doing her best to hide herself from the others as she pricked her finger ever so slightly and lit the candles with a snap of her fingers. Looking down at the cake Ophelia smiled, impressed at Summers's skill in her baking. The cake looked delicious. taking a deep breath she waited for the right time to bring it out. Doing her best to mask how much she didn't want to be near Jade or Titan at the moment. She trusted Nix to be comfortable, but she couldn't trust herself at all. Used to being threatened it was much more unsettling to have a shaky peace an d her relationship with them was very shaky. Then again my life is shaky. Though I brought it on myself, I should be more loyal.

The Executioner

Feeling that this was the right moment, it was time for the Executioner to start his work. Pushing a lever the axe began to collapse and chainge into the chainsaw, pulling the cord as the saw began tow whirr. Letting his body fall he let go of his weapon as they both barreled down to the ground. The wind rushing against his body as the instant before both him and his weapon reached the ground he caught it and the two floated, the spiked chains of blade just barely touching the grass. He landed about 50 feet away from the party far off in the forest. Grimm and wildlife began to peak interest as the young faunus girl landed.

A soft smile grew on his face as he heard the glorious growl of the saw. "Let's get started. Shall we?" Wit a flick of a button the blades whirled fire and began to ignite the grass and trees around him. Setting the boosters on his hip he shot off through the woods leaving a blazing trail as he steered himself with the chainsaw. Creating a circular spiral of fire that was about 30 feet away from the party. The crackling of the flames burned as the fire began to spread inward toward the party.

Flipping back The executioner grabbed some of the lager trees that were engulfed in flames and used his semblance to toss them high up into the air toward the party. The trunks lost in the glare of the sun as once ready the executioner slung the saw, as it changed back to a axe, over his shoulder and shot up into the air. Hiding in the glare of the light he was ready.

Cirrus' brows raised a little at Orion's receptiveness, usually the other Schnee was almost as aloof as Grey. He was about to say something else when Bruno and Croc ran up and dragged him off to explain the Io situation, feeling a cold pit of dread form in his gut made only worse when Sage came over and asked what was going on. "Just...give me a second to think, I need to...I." He looked around wildly seeing his friends and family obliviously milling about until he saw a plume of fire shoot up out of the forest nearby.

Staring for a few moments he shook himself and placed a hand on Sage's shoulder for a moment. "Stay close to me alright?" He said before raising his voice for all to hear. "Everyone stay together, we-we've got trouble." He hesitated not wanting to outright say it was Io coming to attack them and thinking about when she had told him about her relationship with Orion. It's not like it's definitely her making that fire, she could be somewhere totally different, she might be back in control by now.

Titan carried the boxes under his arm, the weight of the cartridges surprising him. As his scroll went off he stopped in the path, looking at Jade's message. "Ah, see you soon then." Titan replied before walking a normal pace, not waiting for the girl to catch up. For a bit Titan had only the forest to keep him company, and the gentle sound of the music growing closer. It was nice, to have a moment of peace before the storm ahead. Not for most at the party, but Titan knew that he and Summer would be asking Phoenix a horrible question. One, that even knowing Phoenix for his life, he wasn't able to predict. Whatever he chooses, I'm done fighting. We are a family, and it'll stay that way.

As Titan made his way from the path paralleled by the large forest into the clearing, he was once again shocked by the decorating skills of Ophelia. Between this and the dance, Titan expected her calling to be a party planner and less a Huntress. Walking to the table that held the presents Titan put both of the boxes on the table before turning to the party. Smiling Titan waved to Summer and Phoenix, noting the birthday twins. Despite the issues many of the students were facing over the week, most seem to be enjoying the party. Although talking with Phoenix and Summer sounded appealing, the two were acting as good host. Instead Titan focused on the other two cousins he could see, Orion and Cirrus easy to spot with their hair colors in the deep verde forest.

Before Titan had a chance to approach any of the students, Cirrus' voice called out with more urgency than he had thought possible. Titan looked at him quizzically. "Everything okay Cirrus?" Titan asked calmly, not wanting to startle the already worried looked man.

Slate recoiled from the sharp object in his back, bringing him out of his thoughts rapidly. Out of reaction Slate brought his hand up to his head. Before Slate could laugh off the situation with her, he was prompted with a question. Even though his body had wanted to cover up the embarrassing moment, the reluctance allowed Cherry to see the worry on his face. Lowering his hand to his side Slate turned to her, "I'm just a bit worried," He slumped his shoulders, "I know you and Ophelia have been helping me make amends, and I feel good about it." Slate smiled a bit, noting that he had done some good. "But I still don't know how to feel? Like, I'm still confused which parts of me to keep or forget? I know that doesn't make much sense." He shook his head, unsure if his worry was in the end justified.[/side]

"Wait, you dating her wasn't a jok- Ouch that hurt! Woah!" Akashi said, letting himself be dragged of to the presumed birthday girl. He laughed a little on the way there; this scene having happened multiple times. Akashi would be late for something, Akashi would give an excuse and with a bop on the head and dragging him off to said event, everything would be cool. The whole friends/enemies thing was working fine so far. He grabbed for his present when they passed it, hoping to get it to her and seeing how they saw candy. Soon he faced her, or under her, as he was still in the grasp of his leader. "Well met Summer! As you heard from Mr.Freeze here, I am Snake, otherwise known as Akashi Taurus. Destroyer of worlds, master prankster, aspiring mass murderer, and candyman extrordinare. And your fellow first year. Pleasure to make your acquaintance!" Akashi greeted, holding out a gloved hand, in it hung the large box in which her present was located. "One of those were lies by the way. But which ones?" Akashi was enjoying this so far. So many new people to mess with. 'note to self, never be late to parties. Ever.'

Suddenly, his senses were overcome with heat. The pits in his eyes felt the sudden rise of heat, bit not coming from the party, but coming from a short distance away, in the forest they were in. "It looks hot. You guys burn something?" He called, his odd colored eyes drawn to the sudden flame in the forest. His own hearing Tuning out everything else if they said something, he cheered "Wow. Special effects!? You guys thought of everything! But what if an animal gets hurt? Like a bunny or something. Whatever, it looks cool. Good job!". Instinctively, he patted himself down really quickly to make sure he had all his weapons. Old habits. But hey, he wouldn't need them. It's just a party.​

Summer let go of her best friend as Orion came back with his teammate. She laughed at the nicknames they had for each other before she turned to Akashi, as he presented himself as, and then looking down at the box he handed over to her. "It's nice to meet you Akashi, and thank you for the present, you really didn't need to get me anything," she smiled and looked over to Orion, "What's up with the weird nickname?"

Her attention didn't stay long with her cousin as she turned back to Akashi when he mentioned burning. "What do you mean," Summer asked, "We didn't bring any fire unless for those that use dust. Are you sure you sense fire?" Summer began to look around the party as she tried to figure out what could be the source of it all. As much as she looked around she never noticed anything especially the flaming tree that was barreling down toward the party.

Phoenix watched Ophelia walk away as she left him and Jade alone. "Hey, I'm sorry hadn't talked to you. I have been writing things down like you suggested and it helped a lot, so thank you," Nix offered quickly, "I noticed you have also been busy." He pointed down to a familiar looking flash drive from the last one she gave him and asked, "Is that a new mixtape? I guess I never really thanked you for the last one. I really enjoyed it a lot, since I keep listening to it when I work out."

Nix placed his hand on the back of his neck a bit anxious since the last time he talked to Jade, they weren't back to completely good terms. "I hope we-" Nix's sentence stopped mid-sentence as he noticed the incoming tree, barrelling down toward him and Jade. Without thinking, he dove out of the way, taking Jade with him as the tree crashed into the path that was marked as safe. "Are you okay?" he asked, sitting up to see the flame off the wood, began to lick at the nearby trees in the area.




Sage Auburn

Sage was getting worried as Cirrus asked a moment to think. From what he had gotten out of, the not stealthy conversation was about some kind of bunny situation. He jumped a bit when Cirrus took a hold of his shoulder and asked him to stay close to him. Sage could only nod, not really knowing what was going on until he notices the flaming tree.

A tall blond man walked over to the small group as he seemed to ask the same thing he did a while ago, but Sage could only pay attention to the incoming tree. He gasped as the tree almost landed on two of his fellow classmates. "Whatever is happening," he finally found his voice, "We need to stop the fire from spreading, or we might get trapped in the forest." He reached for his scroll, but stopped, not sure if it would be a good idea to get teachers involved, It might be better to deal with this on our own...

Flames, flickering flames. They burned around him, devouring everything they touched, scorching everything they consumed. He remembered the heat, the light, the smell of fires burning, smoke in the air, and corpses being incinerated by the flames. He could see it clear as day, as the servant quarters of the Schnee Manor were consumed by the untamed conflagration. Snapping himself from his thoughts, as the trees fell from the sky, burning missiles of death raining from above, Orion acted.

"Get behind me!!" he shouted, throwing both Summer and Akashi to the ground behind him. Stomping on the ground in front of him, Orion summoned a wall of ice that should protect them from the tree coming towards them. The tree hit the ice, and the wall cracked. Orion stomped again as the wall reinforced itself with more ice. Looking behind to make sure Summer and Akashi were okay, he quickly viewed the area, watching as others dodged falling trees. Turning, he looked towards Cirrus, Bruno and Croc. "You three know something!" he accused. "What the hell is going on?!"

The Executioner saw the wayward tree that he must have miscalculated, shrugging it was not matter. “Playtime!” He let his weight grow, and grow until he was the weight of a mountain. The sky screamed as he collapsed into the floor, the earth cratering the ground around him, the decorations destroyed, dust and debris flying everywhere. The ground underneath the students collapsing and sliding into the crater.

Through the dust of the destruction, two things could be heard, a dark laugh and the whirring sounds of a chainsaw. The Executioner leapt up and let the axe return to a chainsaw, twirling it around by the cord letting the saw clip against some of the unlucky students who’d fallen in. Schafer’s slow moments lead to the blade catching her in her side slicing open her liver. Io Pulled herself to her and slammed the young sheep faunus’s head into the hard rocks that were pulled up from the crash. The blood gushed from her head as Io slammed the weight of a building on the girl’s spine, a loud SNAP came as she slammed the girl deep into the rock. Looking over she reppeded like a bullet to Autumn. Atumn was scrambling out of the crater Io ran the chainsaw up Autumns left leg was torn to shreds as Io grabbed the girl and dragged her down into the dust. Blood chilling screams could be heard through the piercing sounds of the saw until only the saw was left.

Leaping out of the crater Io twirled and let her bloody saw return to a battle axe. Landing a bit off from the group the Executioner twirl around the pole of the axe. His bare and bloody feet resting on the pole as she looked out, at the students. Licking some of the blood off her lips she smiled and gazed over her newest targets. “Hello.” The voice was deep, unfamiliar to the quiet soft spoken rabbit faunus.

Bruno and Croc

Croc was without words as he saw a fire burst from the forest. Croc didn't want to believe it was Io but it soon to be obvious it was. Just as Croc was going to a make a remark to Orion as he accused Croc, Bruno, and Cirrus knew something. But then Io made her entrance, and by hell was a horrifying entrance. Croc didn't think Io... well Io's body had this kind of raw power. While almost all of Croc wanted to run and hide as fear went over his whole body, but that's not what he did. Be it because of his training or because he wanted to protect the other Croc stood his ground. "Guys I need you to... Bruno?" Croc said as started to call out plan when he looked to Bruno.

Bruno was frozen in place with a face of horror as he watched Io make her terrifying entrance. Bruno had no words and no actions that could express his feelings of dread and worry over Io as well as everyone else. Thoughts of possible dreadful outcomes and worse went though his head several times as he stayed still...

"...Okay you guys" Croc said looking to Cirrus, Orion, and Sage hoping they were not freaking out to much. "I need you guys to distract Io so then I can sneak though the tree behind her, catch her off guard, and hopefully take her down quick... Ohh by the twin this is not going to be good..." Croc said shaking his head before looking back to Io before he slowly started backing away. Croc hoped Cirrus and the other could Io and keep her attention while he sneaked around.

Onyx was a bit upset when her questions were dodged, but her mood changed entirely as she stumbled back from the force of something hitting the ground. She looked up and saw who it was, and she couldn't tell whether to be afraid or not. Even after watching a student die, she managed to not scream. but decided to steel herself.

"You wanna fight?" She called out, raising her kama up to greet this killer. "Well if so, you made a rather horrible mistake. Because All of us here will fight to the death to save our friends. And hell, if I go down, the next person to come up very well won't." She told them, staring directly at this combatant. She silently hoped her team would back her up, but if she had to...

she would die for them.​

The Executioner

The twisted smile on the executioners face stayed as he saw the delicious horror he could bring. Oh how he missed having an audience to see his work. Though not as great as some of his past endeavor, this was just play afterall. Too many rules to really have fun with it. Let's see one down and I suppose one to go. As the Executioner's eyes honned in on Sage, looking like a hungry mountain lion looking at a delicious dear. Licking his lips expectantly at the thought of having that had mounted above a nice fireplace or in a box for his family.

His attention was pulled to Onyx who called out to him. As she did his head began to pound and he winced, hearing that loyalty, he felt something in his chest. Clutching the pounding craniums he clawed at the wounds on his ear till it bled. The blood seeping down the sides of his head, as he laughed a gutteral and twisted laugh. "Tell me, have you ever danced with a devil in the pale moonlight?"

Suddenly burning trees slammed down into the group. The ground shaking as each one crashed to the ground changing the terrain. Some trees splintered on impact, having burned too much or unable to withstand the impact. Shards of burning wood shooting out at the other students like bullets. The flames caught against the nearby trees and decorations and began to spread across the whole area.

The Executioner took the opportunity to leap back into the emerald forest and play a game of hide and seek. Letting the group amass in their confusion and fear as he prepared his next attack.

Ophelia Shayma

Location: Emerald Forest

@Tags: KarenAKAMint Brinni Hibiscus

Ophelia was holding onto the cake as she saw a burst of flames erupt around her placing it down she grew more worried. Something is wrong, she thought as she went to go get Nix. Looking over to Vurrus as he began to address everyone she stopped as Titian appeared and address them. Wanting to avoid him at all costs, she shifted her attention over to Summer and Orion.

Jumping as a tree trunk slammed down out of nowhere Ophelia's heart stopped as she couldn't see where Nix was. Before she could take more than three steps, the ground shook and A crater formed in what took her a few good hours to prepare. Heart racing she took everything in a mere second after it happened her mind still on Nix. No I need to focus.

Ignoring the Executioner's greeting Ophelia went for the crater pulling out the salve she carried that could close most wounds. Sliding down her feet slid into the pool of blood at the bottom and looked at the eerily familiar pattern. Grabbing autumn she tried her best to save her hoping the salve will stop the bleeding and mend most of the broken bones. Her hand covered in blood she did her best to try to stabilize her, dragging the girl out of the dirt and blood so she wouldn't choke before climbing up to Schaffer. Ophelia knew that there wasn't much she could do. She wished her semblance was anything else at the moment. UsInvest all of her strength she pulled Schaeffer out and used the last of the salve she carried on her. Neither girl seemed to be breathing but one had a faint pulse. "You both need a hospital now."

"Ah!" Looking up she only had a glimmer of light as a series of large burning trees fell atop of her and covering up the crater. The fire bursting and flickering wildly, creating a huge bonfire.

Orion Schnee

Orion fell to his knees as he looked around at all the destruction. His mind returned to that one fateful day that changed his life. The screams, the fire, the pain and agony that was consumed by people who wanted to hurt. Orion screamed as he clutched his head, the mempired assaulting his fragile mind as the world seemed to crumble around him. Around him the ground began to cover in a thin layer of frost. Pounding the ground with his fist, Orion stood up shaking.

Io. Oh sweet Iola Sakra was the one causing this. Refusing to believe this, Orion tried to rationalize why Io of all things would cause such a catastrophe. Pulling out his scroll, Orion signaled DelTa to send him his locker. A moment later, it arrived. From the locker he pulled Heart Pierce. The final form of the cannon was as tall as him, and as wide. Shouldering it, he stormed towards the crater, summoning ice to try and lift the trees.

The ice melted within seconds, but Orion did not relent. He kept summoning more ice, more and more, until he knew his aura was going to be exhausted at this rate. Seeing an opening, Orion looked into see Ophelia under a tree. "Grab my hand, we need to get you out of there." Noticing the bodies of Schafer and Autumn, Orion grimaced. "Leave them, they're dead anyway."
