Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

Bolt silently chided himself, attempting to come up with a plan to bring up the subject and gain access to the student council. In the meantime though, he was glad to have made Rose laugh. Seemed like life around here could get pretty hectic. "Glad I could bring news that normality does actually happen from time to time." He noted, chuckling a little himself.


Rubbing his chin while standing at the door with Rose, he came up with the perfect, most nonchalant way to express his interest in the student council.


"... So, even if you've got a vice president, you might need a secretary or something. You know, to help out with paperwork and priority of stuff. And my class load is pretty light, I've already received formal education back home. I'm here to study something a little more personal... But anyways, I'm offering to help out if needed. I'm pretty good at this sort of stuff." Bolt explained, trying to sell himself and seem appealing to Rose, as the student council president might need a secretary, or assistant.
 
"Eh? She's really that old?"


Lily seemed more excited than anything else. Perhaps a little too excited.


"Just like in my Japanese cartoons! That's too cute!"





"D-don't listen to that old guy, Bunny. That uniform doesn't look weird on you at all," Said Lily, gazing at Bunny with a rather odd expression- something akin to hunger "It looks just... just fine..."


All the while Azure was talking, Lily stared. It was too amazing for her to turn away.
 
"Please, I was around before your race was even conceived," Bunny muttered beneath her breath. She turned away, frowning at how easily Richter just spouted her age out. It was embarrassing, stuck as a kid for eternity. Made worse when the vampire called her appearance a ruse. Her face turned red as her head snapped forward. "Don't call this a ruse! You think I don't want to hit puberty eventually? To grow up and get a grown up body? It is physically impossible for me to grow up."


"But what did you expect? I was one of the first batch. There were bound to be bugs. Like how Michael is so violent or how Lucifer went postal on us."


Bunny's heart beat strongly in her chest as tears welled up in her eyes. She was angry and upset, both at Richter and her own situation. But soon it calmed down after hearing Azure recount what had happened to him and Lily earlier. Lily didn't seem to contradict him so that was a good sign. Maybe she was just wrong about something being off.


Taking a deep breath, Bunny managed to calm completely before addressing the others. "I don't have a plan. It's impossible to make one with the information I have now. We don't know Mel's strengths. Her weaknesses. I don't even know what her servants can do. I was hoping to get Rose to put up some surveillance I could've used or get one of her lackey's on my side before anything. We can't attack recklessly."


~~~~~


Rose stopped laughing as Bolt mentioned the need of more than a vice president, instead sighing. "Yeah, you're right. But I don't really see people lining up for a position. And I can't just force people to do it. That'd be wrong and most likely end up worse than just doing it myself."


Bolt than offered his help. The half-elf froze for a second, not really believing what she had heard. He was actually offering to help? "Y-you would? Because I'm not going to lie, it'd be a great help. And you could basically choose whichever open position you want. But it's a lot more paperwork than you'd think. Not very exciting, I'm afraid. Well, typically. Lately, it seems all we have is trouble."
 
Bolt offered a winning smile.


"I am indeed offering. Secretary sounds fine, if you already have a Vice President. Like I said, this kind of stuff is up my alley." He said again, giving a big thumbs up. "So what, bright and early tomorrow morning?" He asked, checking what time he'd need to be up to start helping Rose with her work.
 
Lily's eyes grew wider as Bunny threw a little tantrum about her size.


"She's sensitive about it, too! She's perfect! I don't really give a **** about you, God, but I'm thankful for this. Props, big man. Props."





Then, suddenly, a moment of clarity in all this adoration.


"Also that Azure is a fake or something, I'll set up surveillance when I become vice president either tonight or tomorrow, the stupid lackey with the white hair is the weak link, and the blonde one seems to dislike fire."


Then back to adoration.


"I have some costumes I think will look good on you if you don't want to wear the uniform, though. Like, super cute I'm not even kidding."
 
Richter gave a mischievous giggle. "It's kinda cute when you're angry. You don't have the face."


"Anyways, if you don't have a plan, the best I can suggest is this: We need to lure her into attacking one of you. This will confirm that she's indeed hostile; after this, I can kill her or her lackeys, whichever one comes, with a surprise attack. Unfortunately, there are already two big caveats here." he straightened his tie.


"The first is that the attack has to take place indoors or after sundown. Otherwise, I can't help you for very obvious reasons. If you're attacked in direct sunlight, my best advice is to run straight for the school. Many classroom windows have been bricked up by yours truly; I've memorized ventilation shaft layout and set up my own little nest in the basement. This is practically my own castle; a fight here is our best bet, day or night. The second problem, however, is that she'll likely send her lackeys first. This means that, as Miss Mills said, we won't know the extent of her abilities, but she'll get to gauge mine to some extent in advance. This means she can plan against me, but she'll be a surprise to us. Hence, the trunk. Ordinance means I won't initially have to rely on my abilities, but there's a point where they'll have to be brought out, if her friends are strong enough. We can't guarantee her servants will give us information on her or even survive, and all she has to do is watch from afar. There's not much we can do about this... except be stronger than she is."


At this, Richter gave a stare to the room's occupants. "This is a dangerous plan. I recommend you two stay together, and stay where I can get to you."
 
-...-


"Uh... What? What do you mean I'm fake?!"


Azure had a confused look on his face shaking his head, he didn't seem to understand


"I don't really understand why you'd say that Lily..."
 
"Yeah, sure," Said Lily to Richter. "Good plan. I like it."


It was obvious that she wasn't paying very much attention.


"Anyways, I said that you were a fake or something, Green. I don't know exactly what it is, but you're acting super weird. You remind me of a puppet, where it's like... someone is trying to imitate how you speak but not quite doing it right. Someone else's words coming out of your mouth."


"Also you haven't whined once since you walked in the door. The Azure I know would NEVER stop whining. Or crying. Or both at the same time."
 
-..... heh...-


"I'm sorry..... I've just recently... had a change of heart recently... I guess I can see why you'd think that... I just feel empty now is all..."


Azure looked away, not sad, but just in some level of thought. He sighed, and didn't say anything else, he didn't think anything that was said would change anything
 
Rose laughed at Bolt's enthusiasm. He seemed like he'd make a great secretary. Eager, hardworking, kind. "I don't know about early, Bolt. Duties officially start at 9AM. And it might be hard to get into the student council room without a key or me there first. Drop by tomorrow and I'll get you a copy, okay?"


"Well, anything else you need before I let you go to bed?"


(God, it seems everyone only wants into the student council for some ulterior motive.)


~~~~~


"Um . . . Okay? . . . " Bunny took a step away from Lily. Last time someone offered her costumes . . . Well, it wasn't for Halloween . . .


She listened carefully to Richter's plan, though frowning the entire time due to his comment about her angry face. It was certainly a plan, but how effective would fighting inside be? Some of the places here weren't exactly spacious. Outside would be better for her personally, as she preferred to attack from a distance. But then again, she probably should take Richter's physiology into account. "I think we should try to get her outside at night. Inside, it's too risky. We could endanger the students here in the crossfire. Plus, the darkness might hinder her. (It won't.)"


Then Bunny's attention went to something Lily had said. This Azure was a fake? So, she hadn't been wrong to be suspicious? But he knew what happened? Lily proved that. Azure tried to defend himself but it sounded . . . off . . .


"So . . . you're emo now . . . ?"
 
Bolt shrugged. Nothing he could think of off the top of his head.


"Not of the top of my head." He echoed out for Rose, whose smile was quite nice. Bolt didn't think he'd mind spending more time with her. But he didn't know if he'd ever reveal his predicament to her, it shamed it him too much to even think about most of the time. "... But I'm sure I'll think of plenty between now and 9AM." He added, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, inwardly cringing at how jolly and stupid he was acting. Better Rose think him a happy-go-lucky idiot instead of a secretive jerk, like he was actually being.


"So no, nothing else from me.... Now that I know where I'm staying, should I walk you back to your dormroom? Oh, right, you said they were all in the same building, so you're just a couple floors away!" He chuckled at his own false stupidity. He was really getting into this act, wasn't he?
 
"Outside at night would work, but they might have a better opportunity to flee and keep their distance, which might be bad, as I fight a bit better in close quarters. Still, I guess it can't be helped. Miss Darlingtonia, if you have spare clothes for my assistant, that would be wonderful. She's lost her role as a student, so she's lost the right to student's clothes." Ricther said. "Anything you have will do."


"Mister Bane. This is an odd request, but can you work to provoke this girl or her lackeys even more? Simultaneously, find a way to let them know you'll be alone somewhere and somewhen; this is where our fight will be held. I'll leave the location to your discretion, but remember what I just told you about my limitations. Either inside, or at night. Personally, I'd ask for both."
 
"No... that's not it... erg... today is just not my day is all..."


Azure looked at Bunny


"You understand right, you know what I mean right? I've just been through a lot since morning is all..."


Azure looked over at Richter


"Your plan sounds like it has a lot of holes, since she'll ultimately have the advantage, considering her reputation, our lack of information, and that we are relying on a bait. Considering that she'd send her flunkies first, to provoke them into a one on one, which would be favorable, to retain some mystery on our side for as long as possible. Its the better of some of my suggestions, as risky as that is though... Even so, your plan is likely the best we have, if you become the trump card"
 
Somehow, Lily's offers of playing dress-up were not incredibly well-received. All she wanted to do was help and take a couple of pictures maybe, what was so bad about that?


Anyways, Lily wasn't usually wrong. There's no way he changed that much in the one hour or so that he was away, right? Something was definitely weird.


"No, Bunny. He was emo before. He's goth now."


Richter's idea of Azure provoking attacks was just fine with Lily, and he scored extra points by agreeing that she should be able to play with Bunny. Lily immediately went over to her secret closet, and rummaged around in there. She made certain that nobody saw inside.


"What sorts of clothes do you like, Bunny? I have a lot of things that'll look just adorable on you. You'll love it- I promise!"
 
"That's what I said, Mister Bane." Richter snapped. "Bait one of her servants into attacking you at night. They're all registered as human. Should they bring out supernatural abilities, we'll know something's very wrong, and I can fight them. We'll take them on one at a time if possible. She's going to watch the fight for certain, and gauge my ability as hard as she can, but that's still likely better than fighting them all at once."
 
"I..... I never knew that Lily was that sort of person..."


It was almost as if Azure was shunning Lily or something for this sort of behavior, it didn't seem to fit someone like her


"But, I do believe that I can do something to provoke them, considering that I'm her target..."
 
Rose let out another giggle as Bolt offered to walk her to her room. "I think I'll be fine. I know these halls like the back of my hand. Besides, I'm stronger than I look." To emphasize her point, she held up her arm as if to flex her muscles.


"Well, I should get going. Good night. I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, she left for her own room, set on a date with her bed.


~~~~~


"No . . . It's okay. Um . . . It's getting late anyway. I'm really tired . . . Maybe another day? With Mel and all, I think we should be on our guard." Bunny backed for the door, desperate to get out of the dress up game Lily seemed to want to play. She didn't lie though. It was well past dark and she could feel sleep tugging at her eyelids.


Making contact with the door, she quickly turned the knob and ran out. "Well, I-I'm going to bed. Get the required 8 hours and all that. G-good night everyone." Bunny ran like she had never run before. She ran and didn't stop until she was in her room where she let herself fall onto her bed. It seemed everything was in motion. Come morning, she'd be on the path to completing her mission.


(I'll post the next morning in the morning. It's nearly 4am here so I need some sleep. Sorry if this seems rushed. It is.)
 
-That is enough...-


"I'm going to take her advice, she seems to have the right idea over all this. I still have a few things to do before this all happens"


Azure ran out, heading to his room as fast as he could as well. When he arrived in his room, it was closed somehow, but was opened from inside, and he entered. The door was then barricaded shut with some materials around the room.


"This will be interesting..."


The Azure before Kylier was dispelled, being nothing more than an illusion


-They are a sharp bunch, but in the end, I learned what I wanted to learn...-


Kylier smirked...


"I wonder how Mel would take all this information I gathered... do you Azure?"


Kylier looked back to the unconscious Azure on the bed, he shifts uncomfortably... painfully as his weapon glows intensely next to him. Dark purple markings, that looks like flared small blotches were on his flesh as if they were tattoos. Their reached had extended from his right hand where the marks start to his neck


"I wonder if even this much is to much for him, it shouldn't be to close to his breaking point... it'd be a shame if he were to succumb to it at this point... We'll see what happens tomorrow though won't we... hopefully I will be able to find her..."
 

~~~~~ January 29th ~~~~~


~~~~~ 9:00 AM ~~~~~

​



Morning came without trouble and similar to the day before, Rose woke up rather refreshed instead of stressed. If all went well today, there would be 2 more members in the student council and the paperwork that usually haunted her desk would be cut. Well, she could just burn it all and have it be cut completely, but that would not be in her best interest, would it?


Before heading to the student council room, Rose made 2 quick side trips. The first was to Lily's dorm room. She didn't want to disturb the alraune, in case she was sleeping, so Rose just left a small note on the door, asking Lily to come to the student council room if she had time this morning. The second trip was to the dining hall to grab a few breakfast bars and a bottle of orange juice.


Note left and breakfast in hand, Rose made it to the council room a bit before 9 to open the door. She let out a groan as she saw the stack of papers that remained from the night before. Most of it was stupid stuff, like the mayonaise club proposals. Asking for it multiple times was not going to make it less stupid.


She approached the desk, clearing a place to put her breakfast before sitting in her chair. Spinning around as she took a bite of her breakfast bar, her eyes eventually fell to the shredder by her desk. It'd be so eay, wouldn't it? But no.


~~~~~


Bunny must've spent a good half-hour in front of her closet. Richter said he had revoked her right to be a student, which didn't even make sense given his position in the school. A teacher couldn't just expell someone like that. Nevertheless, if she went out in a uniform, she probably wouldn't hear the end of it. Problem was, she didn't have any professional clothing or anything that looked remotely professional.


Maybe Lily had something . . . No. That would be plan B for now. Staring at the contents of her wardrobe, Bunny sighed before picking a simple white dress and blue cardigan. She just hoped nobody asked too many questions. That might prove troublesome.


~~~~~


Why did people like watching clouds? It was so boring. Crossing the sky at a snail's pace, it seemed akin to watching paint dry. Mel closed her eyes, tired of wtching the white puffs slowly migrate the the other end of her field of view. She had found a way to the roof of one of the castle, climbing from a window on the top floor. There was a door as well, but that was locked and not as fun.


From what she knew, Vash and Riff were in the dining hall, eating. Probably mingling with the faceless masses as normal people would. It'd be good if they got along with the others.It'd be less trouble for her.


She considered skipping class today. She didn't need help killing someone. She knew plenty on that subject already and didn't care for any more. Maybe she'd just spend the entire day here. It was peaceful at least. But then, she also had that to do today.
 
Strolling into the student council room with two minutes left before 9, stifling a yawn, Bolt noticed the door was open. So Rose was the kind to get where she wanted to go early. He'd rather expected this, she seemed very keen and hardworking. Not that he wasn't, of course.


"Good mornin'." He let out in between yawns, noticing Rose behind her desk, munching away at something for breakfast. He'd already eaten before getting here, but that didn't help to alleviate the tiredness his body felt. He'd become more of a night person after the incident, much to his own chagrin.
 
Anya shook her head as she woke up, looking around. "Lily wake up," she said, prodding the oversized bud. "We never got to play dressup last night! We should bring some costumes so we can play it later."


-----------------


Richter's ears twitched as he heard speech from inside the door. He stood up, and picked up his trunk. It was still early in the day. If the pair hurried getting ready, it wouldn't look weird for him to be loitering here.
 
Rose looked up at the sound of someone coming in and saw Bolt there. Waving to him, she greeted him with a smile. "Oh, good morning, Bolt. You're early." This was a good sign. He was punctual at least.


The corners of her mouth drooped a bit when she noticed him yawn, quite a lot too. "Is something wrong? Did you not get enough sleep last night?"
 
Azure threw himself awake in a panic up and out of his bed, only to end up getting thrown back on by Kylier


"Ugh... What?! Kylier?!"


Azure checked his right hand, only to see that the markings receded to only the palm of his hand


"Azure... It looks like now would be a proper time to explain a bit more about the Shadow Edge... Now that it's grown alongside you long enough..."


"... You mean...?"


After some time Azure left him room with his homework, hoping he could turn it in at some point to Richter...


-Bait... what do you mean bait... why would she agree to that in my place... baiting only works 100% of the time when you know everything they can do... ugh...-





With a sigh, he shook is head, full of uncertainty


-Why do you do this to me Kylier... I want to know why you are who you are, not what my weapon is....... I don't like their plan that Lily and Richter came up with... but Kylier's plan is... ugh... why Kylier...-


He headed to the dining hall, hoping to get food in him before classes started, he saw Riff, but more or less avoided him, Kylier may have wanted him to talk with them for a bit, but there was no way he was going to talk to what were going to become his attempting murderers... if Kylier wanted to find Mel to talk with her or whatever... she can do it on her own...

"Whozit?"


Lily awoke to a tapping on her bud again, and quickly came out.


"Oh... yeah, I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to play either. Good idea, I'll bring a couple of things with me."


Lily slithered sleepily over to her secret closet, unlocked it, and searched inside for a couple of things that she folded and put inside her flower.


"Come on, Anya. It's time to start our day," Said Lily, locking the closet door once again and making her way over to the entrance to the hall. She unlocked the door, and opened it up- a note catching her eye.
 
"I trust you're ready for class today, Miss Darlingtonia?" Richter greeted with a yawn. "We may have our plans to initiate but that's no excuse not to learn.


Anya had involuntarily jumped to find the creepy man sitting outside their door. This man was weird, in both action and smell.
