Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

[Goddess]

Naval frowned a little when she saw Orion snap a little. Her irritation didn't show when the guy had tempted Orion. Walking over she held on to his sleeve and gave him a small frown. She guessed that now she was the one to do more of the talking. Turning to Rose after smiling she bowed her head.


"Thank you for this chance. We won't waste it and you won't get any complaints."


Naval began to think of ways to help out Orion. He was a real swell guy just not good with holding in his temper. She came to the conclusion that if he ever snapped or got out of hand she would nullify his power with her wind, extinguishing it before he made a bad move or harmed anyone. She gave a pull to Orion's sleeve.


"Lets do this together jello-kun. We'll get in for sure."

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Orion knew he had stepped out of line, but he had already regained his composure. He figured he had been here for so long that he might as well at least try to become useful to this institute in some manner, and with 1 strike down and two to go, he figured he would definitely be able to accomplish that. The thing that made it better was knowing that he would be doing something this drastic and outside of his character alone, looking down at the little girl now tugging on his sleeve he smiled.


-Only one way to erase this embarrassing moment from my mind, and we have a week to get it done-


"You're right, Little One. We can definitely accomplish this for sure."

 

[Coro]

Bolt, having dropped the key when it was hot, raised an eyebrow at Rose's display of leadership. She was definitely in the right position, she had quite the commanding aura. Having said everything he wanted to, he shrugged, not needing to put anything else into the conversation. The president had made her decision, it was now his job to stand by it and enforce it if need be. Bending down to pick it up now that it was cooled off slightly, he put it in his pocket.


"Well what did you have in mind, Lily?" He asked her, interested in what she was going to hash out with the disciplinary squad. Grabbing a clipboard and a quill from the table, beginning to write down the points she would discuss. Secretary was his position after all. He'd get to work on the paperwork after Lily spoke about her piece and he recorded it.

 

[Advent Azure]

Kylier couldn't help but fixate her eyes on Bunny... Last night has certainly changed her opinion of her drastically, for her to have that age... and to talk the way she did... this facade persona she has now appears as fake to her... She was certain that that side of her was only intended to be seen by her supporters... She may not know much about Mel, despite her efforts... but Bunny seemed to be a mystery as well... but the Whole Truth will certainly not come from Bunny... if her persona from last night is her true one... she wouldn't tell us anything unnecessary...


"...?"


Azure grinned, hurting a bit from Kylier using her magic on him... it didn't hurt as much as usual though... he wasn't sure why...


-What does she want...-


Kylier used her magic to force Azure to grab his attention, it'd be bothersome for him to just pass out in the middle of class... so of course he'd have no choice but to respond with an annoyed look... he definitely knew what she wanted, and tried to shake his head in disagreement, but he underestimated Kylier, after all, there would be no indication that she is doing anything at all to Azure, and thus, swamped him with more of her illusion magic, at least until he gave her that submissive look she was awaiting for... If anything, his disobedience was only enhancing his weapon's growth, seeing how its now in its 2nd stage of development... its starting to take more effort for her magic to make him fall under her control... a good sign that his capacity is increasing...


-That's should suffice for now...-


-I really don't want to ask them... but its not like she's giving me a choice... or at least a good one... at least I have my glove gauntlets on... it'd be weird for people to see the markings....... why did they starting showing up anyway... the weapon never had that effect on me before...-





Azure looked over at Riff, if anything he's the one to talk to


-I'll do it after class ends...-

 

[CSA]

"Well-"


Bolt was grabbing a quill and clipboard. Lily had no idea why anyone would use a quill, and really didn't see the need for notes as they weren't really in an official meeting or anything, but **** if the kid didn't take his job seriously. That was synergy probably.


"Uh, yes. Well I know there are concerns about combining council and committee personnel, but if there was a way to temporarily appoint me to a semi-official advisory role for the disciplinary committee... I know it's more work for me, but the committee is on life support. No, less than that. It's dead. As it is, we're essentially bringing up a new one. It will save us a lot of trouble later, then, if we had somebody experienced in disciplinary duties to bring this new committee up properly. There was a lot of corruption in the old one, and I want to stamp any potential dangers in the bud while guiding the new committee as best I can."


If she had the committee at her disposal again, she could continue assuring that her plans all went on track. Not to mention, the detention room was possibly the most powerful weapon at the academy. It could even be useful for the whole serial killer situation, if utilized properly.


"Essentially, I'll want access to committee documents to make certain everything is handled according to the rules. Aside from that, I'll be open for questions regarding paperwork, punishments, or anything else trial members need to know. I think this is our best bet for the future."

 

[Coro]

Bolt tapped at the paper with his quill, writing down Lily's ideas. So she was volunteering for more work? Strange, but this must be a reason why Rose wanted her as the Vice President. With an eyebrow raised though, Bolt wondered why Lily would take the work onto herself, and why one of the first things she was doing was to try to take command of the disciplinary squad. That's an awful lot of power for one person...


Oh well, Bolt thought, cracking a smile. Not really my problem.





"We could ask a teacher to oversee the disciplinary committee for us, and that would take the load off your shoulders?" He suggested helpfully, Eyeing up Lily for a reaction. She didn't need to take on the extra work if she didn't want to. Bolt was sure they could find someone qualified to head up that position.

 

[amdreams]

"Okay." Bunny went off to pick up the damaged torsos. Not knowing where Richter even wanted them, she just piled them in the corner.


As Richter uttered his threat, Bunny shuddered. She didn't really like the idea of Lily's dress up time. The way the alraune said it reminded her of that weird guy 1000 years back. He had her play dress up too and it wasn't that innocent. But then again, she probably had it coming, staying with that otaku. It was a drak time that still sent shivers down her spine. "I'm pretty sure that's sexual harrassment," she muttered under her breath.


~~~~~


Seeing the little girl come in and clean up the torsos, Vash raised his hand. "Mr. Ricardo, is class over yet? Who wins Narnia?"


~~~~~


Rose calmed down as Orionapologized for his actions. She still kept the frown on her face though. No need to make them feel relaxed. This was supposed to be taken seriously. "Don't let it happen again."


Lily then volunteered herself to help the new disciplinary members. That was a good idea. better than to just let them run free and hope for the best. Plus, Lily had an amazing record when she ran the committee a while back. Bolt suggested a teacher doing it. That was nice. He was probably worried about Lily overworking herself. Still, there was a bit of a problem there.


"Bolt, Oriens was built to prepare children for the outside world, in more ways than none. Everything is meant to be run by the students to help them get a feel for responsibilty and maintaining a population. The teachers can intervene in emergencies but are forbidden from getting involved regularly. So we can't let a teacher do it."


"But Lily, are you sure you're up for this? It sounds like a lot of work."

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Ah, almost forgot. I think I liked Mister Raffit's device the best, so he wins this" Richter answered, opening the wardrobe. A rancid, shambling corpse stumbled out, arms and lower jaw missing, its neck tied up to the back of the wardrobe. A gurgle escaped its throat as it weakly attempted to walk forward. Anya covered her mouth at the scent, trying her best to block it out.


"This, class" he explained, "is a ghoul. This is what happens when a human is drained to death by a vampire without being disposed or turned, which is actually a deliberate process. It is mindless, soulless, and by all accounts stuck in abject misery. These normally obey the whims of whomever killed them, but his left him. I found him wandering outside of Eastern Europe a while back. I've been keeping him in the basement in case I needed it, but I think it's time we put him out of his misery. So come on up, Riffael; you get the honors."

 

[Advent Azure]

"..."


Azure was shocked at the sight of ghoul... and couldn't..... he didn't understand... he thought he knew enough when it came to fighting... but apparently... when it comes to vampires... they are some sort of intelligent breed of monster, far beyond that of human capabilities... it was almost unreal... maybe Azure didn't know everything, maybe he would accept that there were some things he had to learn...


-I'm..... I'm glad I didn't win.....-

 

[CSA]

Bolt suggested a teacher do it, which didn't really worry Lily too much given the school's general principles. She knew that Rose would jump in and comment on the matter, which she did satisfactorily.


"By this point, as long as what I say is reasonable, she'll probably agree to it. Not a complete enthrallment by any means, but I think I'm getting there."





Lily smiled.


"Don't worry too much, Bolt. Rose. Sure it's a lot more work, but it's not permanent. I'll only need to do this until we've built a strong foundation- the committee itself can fly solo after that. Besides, it's only more work for me now. It will be less work for everyone in the years to come just as long as this gets taken care of properly."

 

[Coro]

Bolt nodded along in agreement to Lily's final comment. A little sacrifice on her part right now would pay off immensely for the student councils and the disciplinary committees of the future. Couldn't refute that logic, even if he wanted to.


"So that's that, I guess the disciplinary squad is now Lily's burden." He said with a smile, twirling the quill around with his fingers.


"... Now, the question of the hour, how do we want to deal with all THAT?" Bolt added after a moment's pause, eyeing up the mound of paperwork on Rose's desk. It probably wouldn't be that difficult, but Bolt wanted to try and make sure it never happened again, and it never got to this level again.

 

[Goddess]

Naval didn't like the way the boy spoke , they one they kept calling Bolt. His way of speaking had already angered Orion. Stepping into the conversation she was sure to not cut of the boy who seemed to be trying to hard.


"President would it not be wise to split the work among the disciplinary squad. That way if we have some who aren't doing anything can pitch in. Or we could do them after school hours. Its seems more efficent for everyone and it will keep us busy."


She gave her a smile before retreating behind Orion thinking that she said to much.


"You could say we would be making another council but strictly for the squad...also president if you need a book keeper then I can be of assitance as well."

Riff looked at the ghoul in front of the class. The poor mindless creature had had everything taken from him. His appearance, his life, his very humanity and even his master. Pitiful soul, if you could still call it that. "Okay," he said, picking up his project and getting closer to the ghoul.


Riff had grown accustomed to killing during his time with Mel. Death was really all around them on the road. And even if he felt a tinge of sympathy for the ghoul, it wasn't enough to stop him from doing what he had to do. Riff aimed for the chest and fired a few shots, each impaling the ghoul though apparently not enough to actually kill the thing. Then came a slight drop in the temperature wafting around the room. Ice jutted out of the ghoul, spreading across and through its chest. Garbled wails of pain and the scent of decay came from the soulless being before it finally dropped dead*.


Watching the ghoul die, Riff turned to Richter afterwards. "Can we go now?"


(*I have no idea how these things die, so I hope I got it right. If I didn't, feel free to correct me.)


~~~~~


"Okay then, Lily. But if you ever need help, feel free to come to me."


Bolt then pointed out the pile of papers on Rose's desk, making the half-elf groan a little. Right. She had forgotten about all that. Naval offered to help, but Rose held up her hand to deny it. "No, Naval. This is student council work. Making Lily take over 2 roles is bad enough, but I won't sleep right if I make everyone take on too much. Besides, classes are ending soon. Your job is in the halls."


Turning back to her desk, Rose took a deep breath, thinking over everything that needed to be done with the forms. "Well, anything with the word 'mayonnaise' you can pretty much just scrap. That should take care of half of them. Darn guys are persistent. From the rest, we should split them between budget proposals, room change requests, and complaints. Once that's done, it should be easy to go through them."

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Very good. Class dismissed." Richter called, watching the students flow out. "Bane, Mills, you stay behind for a minute."


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


Anya stumbled out of the classroom. This lesson confirmed that Richter was, in fact, too spooky for her to handle. Her knees trembled as she made her way, wide-eyed, down the halls. Suddenly, her nose was struck by a familiar aroma: Lily.


Her eyes swelled with trauma tears as she entered the council office, spying the alraune across the room. "L-Lily..." she sobbed. It was all she managed to speak as she began crying at full force.

 

[Advent Azure]

"...R-Right..."


Azure was still shaken up by the thing that came out of the wardrobe Richter brought it, he's never seen something so..... he doesn't have any words to describe it that he could think of... all that he was certain of, was that deep down, he was scared... that those sorts of things exist...


-I guess..... I'll have to talk to them some other time..... Riff is cool though... if I had to be the one to..... I don't know if I even could..... erg... I need to get stronger from this, I've seen it, and I need to just... I need to not get frozen at the sight of them... how could Riff just do that though... he looked so calm...-


Azure shook himself out of his train of thought, now was not the time to be thinking over what just happened, Richter probably wanted to talk about.


Kylier acknowledged that Azure had to stay to talk with Richter, and wasn't able talk to Riff, hopefully he would make his way there... but even if he wasn't, she might be able to get what she wants, if things go her way... Riff would eventually go back to Mel at some point after all...

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Right, then." Richter locked the door after everyone else had left. "To business. Mister Bane, which location did you bait them to? The courtyard? The Gym?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"..."


Azure remembered what Kylier advised... he wasn't sure if Kylier really had any idea of what she was talking about though. In the end, he still believed bunny, being incredibly old had nothing to do with that, if anything, it just goes to show her dedication to this matter. Still... Mel and her group probably had a reason for doing everything they did, but he didn't know what it was, and the idea that they could do the same, and end up killing him as well as enough to put his priority for living, over his respect for letting anyone else be to themselves...


"Where did I bait them? I haven't actually done it yet... but I was going to bait them into the courtyard..."


Azure really didn't want to go along with this. Kylier had a point when she said that they should remain involved, not knowing that Mel's group could do could prove fatal. He couldn't understand why she thought Bunny had to be considered a possible threat, after all, she's on our side, and was going to deal with Mel.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

Richter pinched the bridge of his nose. "I gave you one job; I figured it could be done by the end of first period. What were you even doing after you presented you- oh my God. Were you just moping that entire time over a bad grade? Instead of helping us eliminate a serial killer?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"I was going to talk to them... but I didn't want to interrupt class or anything... that's all... I was going to wait until after class, but then you wanted me to talk to do"


He realized his mistake, and why Kylier was rushing him


"I can go rush out to talk to them, class just ended so they couldn't have gotten far..."

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Just... go. Do it. Don't drop the ball." Richter replied.


He sat on his desk. "And you." he pointed at Bunny. "You did an adequate job piling those torsos. Out of curiosity, what did you make for the assignment?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"..."


Azure unlocked the door and bolted out, to find them... he was able to locate them easily, since Kylier was following them, cloaked in her illusions... that pink hair of Kylier's really was a stand out in these halls, he never really thought much of it, but it really makes her noticeable...


-Guess its now or never... ugh-


Azure caught up to Riff and Vash, and was rather nervous at first, but just composed himself, after all, Kylier was watching


-...-


"Uh... hey Riff..... I need to talk to you....."

 

[CSA]

"Sure, Rose. I'll be sure to tell you if I need any assistance."


While Lily thought that just dumping their work on the disciplinary committee would be nice, she knew that that wasn't gonna happen. Besides, those two would probably screw it all up.


But **** all those documents were imposing. Even for a superior being, Lily was taking on a lot of work. Not to mention how incredibly morose it was to be sifting through piles of dead plantkind just to throw away hundreds of papers that apparently said 'mayonaise' on them. Lily seriously wished that the other idiot students would just respect the ********* plants.





Well, she would make them soon enough.


Just as Lily was about to get started with the papers, Anya lumbered into the room calling Lily's name and sobbing. Lily immediately went to comfort her, holding her close.


"Anya! What happened? Are you hurt?" She asked, a great deal of panic in her voice.


Whatever made this happen was going to be dead.

 

[amdreams]

"Leave the boy alone," Bunny said. "Did you expect him to clone himself or something so that he could run around like a madman while also sitting in your class? Or run out of the classroom without gaining the attention of the two servants in the same room? Besides, even if he was skipping class to lure her out, it means nothing if she doesn't follow him. We need to be patient."


Bunny watched as Azure ran out the door, frowning. "You revoked my right as a student, remember?" she told Richter. "So I didn't make anything. Not that I need to use stakes anyway." She held out her hand. A small ball of white light appeared in her hand. "I may not be the best warrior in heaven, but usually one of these does the trick. At least against vampires and demons. To other races, it's more like being touched by a lightbulb that's been on too long."


"Don't . . . don't you think you were a bit hard on him? Azure I mean."


~~~~~


Riff looked back as Azure called out to him. Vash stopped as well, looking at the boy. "Friend of yours?" He earned a glare from the blond along with a swift "No."


Vash rolled his eyes, placing his hands on the back of his head. "Geez, chill out. I know who he is. Just joking."


Riff seemed to calm down, though his eyes were still narrow as they switched from Vash to Azure. Why would this guy want to talk to him? "What?"

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Not really. He needs to toughen up." he said to Bunny. "This is a chance for him to rise to the occasion, you see. I normally have very high expectations for humans. That one, unfortunately, is a bit of a crybaby. All he has to do is taunt one of those two until they want to go off and kill him. If anything, I'm going to do the hardest part. Even you were intent on going after all three alone for a while. It's not much to ask for him to man up if he wants to help."


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


Anya sobbed something unintelligible, muffled by Lily's chest. She pulled out for a moment to repeat "A m-monster" before heading back in, sniffling.

 

[Coro]

Bolt raised an eyebrow as Lily addressed the girl who'd come into the room crying. Anya was her name? Oh well, apparently this was a bit more pressing than the paperwork issue. He threw Rose a questioning look, tossing his clipboard and quill on a table and going up to Anya and Lily's side.


Standing there, not quite knowing what to do or say, Bolt hoped his presence might be a little calming.


"... Uh, whatever happened, it's over now, you can talk to us about it?" He tried in his best composed voice, which sounded more questioning and confused than composed. Hearing Anya say something about a monster, his tone became a little more serious. "What monster?" He pressed slightly further after a moment.
