Fandom Lady Temminick's Finishing School.

Bree

Queen of Broken Hearts
Welcome to Finishing School, where young lords and ladies will learn the ins and outs of polite society...And how to finish someone off. This school is by invitation only and happens to be accepting those of the supernatural sort as well. If you receive a letter, it is highly recommended you think about attending the prestigious academy.


~The school is set in Victorian Steampunk, so there are robots and such that are steam powered. Along with such aminities, there is the choice of being vampire, werewolf, human, or soulless though I will only be accepting two of each. Further information on them in sign ups. If there are any questions as to what is allowed in the time era and such, please don't hesitate to ask!~

Mercy read her book during the ride in the family carriage: The Language of the Fan, and silently wondered if anyone at the school would know it. The carriage rolled to a stop and the driver let her out at the front of the marble and gilded school, much like a palace. The place was grand, probably full of hidden hallways and things waiting to be explored. With an excited grin, Mercy picked up her various skirts and ran into the seemingly empty palace-like building with a grin, leaving her luggage to the help. 
Violette smiled to herself as she rode across the school on her copper broom, watching the grounds like ants. She pulled out her wand and twirled it between her fingers before descending on the roof, settling in there to watch the newcomers from above and possibly pull a prank or two with her magic. Her skirts were getting dusty, but she didn't mind, it would be worth it if she could hit at least one person with a jumping spell.
 
While Mercy ran threw the courtyard she would here grunts of exertion and the clang of wooden swords. If she were to go investigate she would find a shirtless Severus sparing with two of his assistants. They were all vampires and the two assistants snarled and brought out their power to full to try and hit the elusive man. However Severus was dead silent and struck back with powerful and measured blows and ethier dodged or countered anything thrown at him showing supreme skill, mixing careful dueling and long powerful strokes. Then one of them got hasty and made one swing to many leaving his guard open and he was slammed in the stomach as his breath left him in a wush as he went down. The other assistant knew he had no chance alone so made a desperate lunge to see if he could beat him before he recovered his stance but Severus calmly smacked his blade to the side hard causing him to stumble which gave Severus a perfect opportunity to hit him in the back of the neck square. The man fell flat trying to get up slowly. Severus wiped some sweat from his brow and looked around, it was about time for the students to show up. ((if you here this part happens)) Seeing the girl watching him he raised a eyebrow, so he had mistimed the time for their arrival. "Ah hello, have fun watching?" He said crossing his arms with a small smirk.
 
A wolf darted across the front lawn of the school, sides moving and feet pounding the ground. Soon the wolf began to morph into a man, naked of course, who was accompanied by a carriage not too far away.


"Your Highness! Your Highness! You mustn't expose yourself in public like this! What'll be thought of you?" An attendant squeaked in horror at the sight of the naked man.


"Nonsense, we were all born naked so what's to be ashamed of? Are you accusing me, Prince Alexi ,of being afraid of the opinions of others?"He asked, raising a skeptical eyebrow before bursting out in hearty laughter. He typically wasn't this talkative or easy going, but there was something about running that made him giddy. Akexi held his hands over his head to catch his breath as his heart calmed and lungs received much needed air.


" Your Highness........Please put on your clothes. I beg of you." The attendant pleaded, presenting a neatly folded pile of clothing.


" Very well, Cederik." Alexi sighed, reluctantly putting on his clothes and taking a look around.


Zephora arrived in an all black carriage, two large black horses pulling the elaborately decorated cart. Upon stopping she sighed and stood, straightening her self out and holding her head high. As she stepped down the stairs an attendant stumbled over himself in a hurry to put up an incredibly large black leather umbrella that blocked any sort of sunlight from reaching her. She walked gracefully through the courtyard, icy gaze roaming from the naked werewolf, to the witch, and then stopping on what looked like a display of some sort of swordplay.


Silas was perched up on a gargoyle that lined the stairs leading up to the school building, a bored look on his face as he rested his chin on the statues ugly head. The students were arriving already, meaning another year teaching an easily misunderstood subject. Heaving a sigh he tried for a welcoming smile but failed and instead zoned back out, assuming that there were much more interesting things, such as Severus's violent display, than Silas himself.
 
((take your time, im already dead. Dead tired anyway. trying to get used to waking up earlier))
 
Mercy heard the familiar clangs of metal and followed it until she came across men sparring. With an excited grin, she smoothed out her skirts and snapped her fan open, lazily fanning herself as she watched the movement with bright eyes. When she was address, she jumped and blushed, not noticing she was in plain sight. "Oh, yes, seems fun!" She exclaimed with a quirky grin, her fan fluttering a bit more.
 
"Most say it seems fun till their fighting with me," He says amused. He prods one of assistants with his toe and he slowly gets up. "Get the class ready, it looks like the students are arriving sooner then i thought." The assistant got up hesitantly with a nod and set off. The second one got up as well and set off in the other direction. "My name is Severus Areali Auditori and i am to be your dueling teacher, and you are?"
 
Violette spotted a vampire and then a werewolf who was...stark naked. She watched his antics, unabashedly staring as she mounted her broom and hovered over him. With a wave of her wand and a mutter of Latin, a small, individual storm cloud rained upon the werewolf. Violette giggled and hopped down to the grass, adjusting her pointy hat. "Salute!"
 
Mercy watched the boys leave and looked back at the teacher, cocking her head to the side. She closed her fan and twirled it in her right hand as she answered, "Mercy Nellette Theodrosia. A pleasure to meet you. Do the ladies duel as well, or is it considered indecent here too?" She inquired with a small, excited smile hoping she'd be able to fight like that some day.
 
"Of course lady's fight here, what is the fun if lady's were not allowed to fight." He said with a small smile. "I am not other swordsman teachers, i am a noble myself so i know how important it is so i plan to teach you lady's as well." He stepped forward grabbing his shirt and threw it over his shoulder without bothering to put it on yet.
 
Alexi looked up , in the midst of buttoning his shirt , an eyebrow raised at the storm cloud. "While I appreciate the refreshing rain, it is very rude to rain on a Prince." He said, only half serious."Especially if you do so without introducing yourself."


Zephora had unconsciously wandered closer to the fighting class, drawn in by the glint of swords and hearing that ladies are welcome as well. "Hello, I couldn't help but over hear your conversation. Are there really no rules prohibiting women from fighting here?" She asked excitedly.


"Ah, Your Highness! His Majesty wouldn't lik-"The attendant was stopped by a single look from Zephora.


"Barnabas, I think thats enough shade. I'll be fine."She said, sending the attendant hurrying away with the umbrella.
 
"There are no rule against it as long as it approved by a teacher. I personally am not a fan of the rule of women not being allowed to fight for no other reason then your woman. I know noble woman who have been killed or raped because they had no training and expected their men to protect them. Though i have a feeling you two are not those kind of woman." He said with a small smile.
 
Zephora returned the smile with a toothy grin, showing her pearly white fangs. "The very thought of having to depend on someone else for the safety of my life makes me sick. So that's why I've dabbled in a few of the training sessions of the knights at the palace with out Daddy knowing." She said with a mischievous giggle." Where are my manners? I'm Princess Royal Zephora Lenore Alexzander. You are?"
 
"I am Duke Severus Areali Auditori, inherited title of course as i expect my father to live for many years to come." He said with a nod. "I am your swordsman teacher and i will be teaching you dueling and other fine points of combat."
 
Mercy concealed her grin behind her black fan and watched a regal looking vampire approach. She watched the exchange from behind her fan and bit her lip, shifting her feet under her skirt with pent up energy. While they were busy talking, Mercy closed her fan and inched her way over to an abandoned sword. She picked it up, the metal cool in her hand, and just examined it while the two talked.


Violette giggled and let her eyes swoop the werewolf up and down. "You'll find I can be very rude, sir." She teased, leaning against her broom. "But," the girl grinned. "if you must know, I'm Violette Emmenline, future High Priestess of France. So, a prince, huh? You look nice wet. "
 
He noticed Mercy had gone and taken up his assistants discarded sword. Sneaking behind her he came behind her and took her hand into his own and corrected her grip. "This is how you hold a blade, two hands for more power but 1 handed for quick strikes and speed. You must hold it tightly but loosely at the same time. Too loose and a powerful blow will knock your sword from your hands but too tight and you wont be able to remain flexible." He said standing directly behind her while speaking, still holding her hands in the proper grip. "Got it?"
 
Mercy nearly jumped as the silent vampire moved behind her and touched her bare skin. A small smirk appeared on her face since he would feel a rush before his fangs would revert back to normal and he'd feel human. But despite her amusement and the closeness of the teacher, she grasped the basics quickly. "Yes, thank you. "
 
If he noticed his vampiric ability's disappearing he didnt show it at first, "Then before the class starts ill give you a practical lesson." He back p from her and slid back. His steps seemed to make no sound, such was his level of training. "Try to hit me, i will not strike back but only parry your blows this time. This will test if you were truly listening." He said with a small smile.
 
He smirked," I'm Alexi Ignatius Romanov. Potentially next King, and alpha. Though I don't normally associate myself with ranks or any of that sort. Too many unnecessary manners and pleasantries." He said, offering a hand shake.
 
Evangeline entered the school grounds and looked about she wasn't sure where she was suppose to go and only had her small bag of all her belongings and the letter that had accepted her into the school. Sighing she looked around and noticed a group of people standing around and talking deciding that she would go over to speak to them Evangeline picked up her bag and moved towards them.


Adrian looked at the view that he was passing in the carriage, he was soon to be reunited with his sister and was thoroughly pumped for the experience. Although t seems like I might arrive a little later than the rest... Sighing he waited to see the appearance of his new school.
 
Zephora turned upon the arrival of the others and attempted a friendly smile." Hello," She said to the girl.


Silas had almost fallen asleep on his perch on the gargoyle when the sound of a carriage woke him." More and more of them yet, a noble playground indeed." He yawned.
