Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

"Well, Anya, we may want to bring an extra layer of clothes. We likely won't be outside too long, but ever since that camping trip I don't want you going out in the cold without complete protection."


Lily came up to their room and opened up the door.


"You remember what happened, right? I want you in your coat with your mittens and that pretty new scarf I bought you."


Lily placed a hand on top of Anya's head and ruffled her hair a little.


"And you may bring one toy to play with in the car if you so desire. Nothing too distracting, though, because we will be making polite conversation with Rose. OK?"
 
"Okay!" Anya said. She grabbed her mittens, her winter coat, and the scarf Lily bought her, buttoning and tying them to the best of her ability, which admittedly wasn't very well. Next was to choose a toy in the car. Something she could talk with...


She walked quickly into the dress-up closet and pulled out a pair of plastic handcuffs. They were always fun to fiddle around with. She placed them in her pocket and called out, "I'm ready~!"
 
" I'm not really sure, i haven't actually been there, but it could be fun, don't you think? " She said holding her hands to her lower back still looking over at him.


" But from what i have heard, its sorta like it, except you have to buy everything, unlike the dining halls where its served for free for attending students. But who knows, maybe there are good cooks to make up for it? "


She entered into a doorway turning her head around, and slithered down a set of stairs going down onto the next level, unintentionally taking up most of the space from the length and size of her tail, and coiling up waiting for Azure, looking around a little as he made his way down, but off down the hall she noticed Rose walking with a student. Skyia turned over to Azure and said with her green eyes beaming. " Hey, Rose is over there, shes with someone but maybe you can talk to her now! "


( ill post for shift in a bit, either merging onto this post or after a couple other people post. )
 
Azure grew a surprised look as Skyia told him that Rose was within sight. It certainly was a stark contrast to his usual luck, but maybe hes just been overdue for this sort of thing.


"Well... I don't know what they are doing... hopefully she's not terribly busy, but I need to at least make sure she knows I have needs too..... er... that's not a selfish thing to say right...?"


-Ogg... I said that part outloud...-


Azure's never been about asking things from others, or more accurately, was punished if he needed anything. Azure was the source for anything he needed... besides food, warmth, and shelter... probably because if he died from lack of attention, it would look bad on his family..... what was his worth to his family even... would he be considered a pet by society, and easily forgotten and forgiven if he died?


-.....-


Azure snapped himself out of his thoughts, he didn't want Rose to slip away, not that he's in a hurry or anything. He jumped off the stairs when he was halfway down, careful to not land on Skyia in anyway, and absorbing the shock of the landing as he done so, and went toward Rose


"Hey uh... Rose... You aren't busy right now are you..... I don't want to be a bother..... but I sorta have a... safety or security issue..."
 
John would look at the man clearly in need of assistance, a look of worry on his face as well.


"Oh my.. Rose I am alright if you want to suspend this and have us check out whatever misfortune is befalling this man."





Crowley would nod at the man, a look of understanding in his eyes.





"She was showing me around, I'm sorry, I'm new here. But if you have something that needs to be done then by all means, maybe I can help too? I'd be more than happy! Just because I'm the newbie around here doesn't mean that I want to slack off or anything





John would have a slight smile on his face as he says this scratching the back of his head. Who knows, maybe he could make some new friends by helping this guy out.
 
"Its uh... no real problem, its part of Rose's job to help new people here right... heh?"


He didn't want to look as pathetic sounding as John made him sound to be with his aristocratic words? Even so... Azure's life has been one great misfortune... so much so, that his accuracy hurts... although maybe he was thinking to deeply about this, that part of his life is over..... his life is getting better after all...... right......... right...???


"I'm not to sure you could really help though... I sorta need help from a staff member like Rose for something like this....... although I appreciate the offer"


Somehow, Azure knew that he'd probably tag along, he seemed determined, and he could identify with that sort of trait... when fear or submission wasn't controlling him... he's been doing better on that though!
 
"So nothing trying to decapitate anyone else then? No cataclysmic evil release, the world not ending, nothing like that?"


John would look absolutely serious as he said this. In truth he was used to that kind of stuff happening all around him all the time. John had an uncanny knack for finding trouble when relaxing.


"Cause, ya know, totally get it if that's the case. I mean sure rooms are important but, ya know, everyone not dying is like at least twenty times more important."

"Er..... no..."


He wasn't to sure where this was all coming from, but he felt that he was experienced with this sort of thing... he was probably strong...


"Er... I.... uh.............. right........."


Azure felt like a waste of space... someone who distracts people from larger problems... he just began walking away at a slow pace with his head held low...


-Who am I... to waste the time of someone important...-
 
John would let out a cry of relief, "Oh thank God!" clearly very pleased by this information.


John would smile at the boy, John looked and acted human. He didn't have one trace look of anything else aside from being a regular guy.


"Sheesh last place I checked out it was a madhouse! I was there maybe five hours ya know and someone already tried to disembowel me. Like yeah I've heard of hazing but that's just super extreme ya know? I like my insides on the, ya know, inside. So I booked it outa there. It's nice to see a relatively normal place!"


John said with a smile, happy to have met this new person.


"My name is John by the way. I guess you can call me a human. What's your name?"


John would offer an outstretched hand.

-...? I..... I don't understand him at all!?-


He couldn't get a read on the guy at all... he felt as if he may have been exaggerating, or something, and thought that he might have less of a headache by taking him less seriously.


He turned back around at him, and just looked at him and his outstretched hand. He didn't dare to take it, who knows what someone like him would do


"I'm Azure, and I'm human too..."





He gave him a friendly smile, but really, he was at a loss, and at least tried to appear friendly since he wasn't taking his hand
 
"I guess that explains why you seem a little nervous."


John said shaking his head as he smiles. The guy in front of him really was a nervous wreck. But he didn't mind that much. After all, it was very understandable on why he was nervous

Rose frowned at John. Ramapges? Disappearing towns? Just what did he want to bring into the school? "Well, normally, you'd have to file a request with the student council, but if this . . . thing is as dangerous as you say, then I don't think it'd be allowed in the school. We have children here. So their safety comes first. What do you want to bring in here?"


But before Rose could drill him for an answer, she heard someone calling out to her. Turning to the voice, she recognized the familiar mops of green and orange hair. "Oh, hi Azure, Skyia." John and Azure spoke for a while, introducing themselves as the half-elf tried piecing together chunks of their conversation. A safety issue but nothing of immediate issue, meaning no one was dying.


"Azure, I was just showing John to his room, but if I can help you along the way, I will. We can walk and talk. So what do you need exactly?" Rose wasn't exactly elated at the prospect of another thing to do, she didn't want to keep Lily and Anya waiting long. But if it was a security issue, she really couldn't say no.
 
John would scratch his head. This was a tricky situation. If Samael had to be far away then John couldn't control him. Guess the best thing to do was tell the truth.


"Well... I brought my voodoo doll. He's safe so long as he's bound to me, reason why I brought him here."

Azure started walking with Rose since she seemed like she was busy with something, so he decided to make what he wanted to say rather brief


"Well... the problem I have is someone basically broke my door... Yesterday, someone broke into my room to steal my stuff by using a gun to bust the door's locking mechanism, and well... since it can't close anymore, anyone can just sorta come into my room if they wanted while I'm sleeping....."


He didn't feel the need to explain further, he was sure what he had said was enough. He really didn't want to answer to John though, he already wasn't really liking him as a person, but he figured there's probably some reason or another for how he acts.
 
Rose's lips formed a tight line as she took in John's answer. A voodoo doll? Wouldn't a voodoo doll be an inanimate object? And why would you even need one? Especially if it's as dangerous as he said. If it were able to destroy entire towns. Why would he have something like that? Honestly, she was not getting a good vibe from this guy, at least from what he's said so far.


But Azure's problem interrupted her thought process. "What? Somone actually broke into your room?" That was certainly bad. Who would do something like that? It was something to look into later but for now, judging by Azure's relative calmness and since his nervousness seemed more in reaction to John, she could assume that nothing important was taken nor was he harmed.


"Well, unfortunately, we don't really have spare locks. We have combination locks and padlocks, but I don't think that will help right now. We've never had to deal with this situation before. I can put in an order for a new lock for your door, but at best, it'll come tomorrow. As for tonight, do you have anything that you can use to block the door? Maybe a wardrobe? Or a desk?"


Soon, she stopped in front of a room. "187" shone in bronze letters over the wooden surface. "Well, John, this is your room. There should be a key among the things I gave you at the office. And as for your . . . pet . . . File a request at the student council. We'll need to know exactly what it is we're dealing with before we pass judgement on it."
 
"Ya... that's what I've been doing. It works, but having a normal door is probably going to be the best option in the long run. The only real problem with that solution, is that I pretty much have to leave the door open if I want to get in in the first place..."


He was glad to hear that she would order a new lock for his door, that solved all his problems involving this.


"That's alright Rose, as long as it comes by at some point, its not that much of a big deal, I'm used to bad things like this happening. "Thanks for your help though Rose.""


Satisfied, he began returning to Skyia


"Did you want to talk with Rose before she had to go somewhere, or was there something else you wanted to do?"
 
"Hey wait!" John called after the boy. He had an idea.


"I think there can be a solution to your night troubles. If you don't mind me bunking with you tonight."

"as for Sammy, I can introduce you two any time. Just a word of warning: he's weird and hit him with a book when he's being weird."


John would say looking back at Rose

"...?"


Azure looked back at John as he said that...


-... I don't know what's going to happen after I confront them... I know Kylier doesn't want anyone near me while I'm sleeping now that my weapon is active once more... but if anything, he can watch over me I guess...-


"Sure... I don't think that'll be a problem, just for tonight though"


-I don't mean to take advantage of him... but I need to take what I can get!-
 
John would nod.


"Well if you ever need help then please don't hesitate to ask. Sam and I are used to skipping nights and no sleep so it'd be no issue. "


In truth John couldn't remember the last time he had a full nights sleep. He suffered frequent night terrors and insomnia.

"Right..."


-He's going to be up watching me while I sleep?! Erg... well... its still safer this way... I don't see how he could pull an all niter... Maybe he can tell me what happens while I sleep... since she won't tell me-





Kylier has told Azure in the past that he should be alone whenever he needs to sleep or anything. She never explained why of course... but asking really get in any closer to any answers... Azure wished that she wouldn't be so difficult with him
 
Lily did not care for the cold much on principle as a plant, but she didn't really feel differences in the temperature as much as the mammals did. She could walk out in the snow with nothing at all and would be fine for a while, but winter meant winter clothes.


And if there was one thing Lily liked about winter, it was winter clothes.


Thus, she put on a super-cute pink coat with green vines on the sleeves and along the hemline and that had print of a large white lily on the back. She zipped it up, and soon after Anya was ready too.


"I'm going to have to teach her the proper way to wear a scarf soon, but it'll keep her warm for now."





"Very good, Anya. Let's go wait by the entrance for Rose."
 
"Okay then. I have to go now. Bye." Rose ran off, glad that John would be able to help Azure with his problem. Though wouldn't it have made more sense if he just let Azure sleep in his room? Seeing as room 187 still had a working lock, it'd be easier if they just stayed there, right?


Well, it didn't matter now. What mattered was that she had to meet Lily and Anya. Dropping by her room to grab a jacket, she ran the entire way to the castle entrance where she saw Lily and Anya both waiting for her there. "Sorry, I'm late. There were a few . . . unforeseen obstacles. But I'm here, I'm ready and I've got my purse. So let's go."


Rose took the two outside to the parking lot out front where a red convertible awaited them, its black roof obviously put up. She waited for them to get in before climbing in herself and starting it. "Are you guys comfortable? Do you want me to turn up the heat?"


The ride to town went smoothly. Many students didn't really go to Adelmar during winter, not wanting to deal with the cold, so the road was fairly bare. As time passed, the lights of the city came into view as did the skyline. The car entered the gates of the city and after a few more minutes of turns and stops, their journey came to an end in front of a small shop.


High glass windows allowed a full view of the interior. Filled with pastel colors, lace and flowers, it looked like a little girl's tea party. Jingle bells littered the doors and windows, making a soft tinkle every time a breeze pushed against them. Once inside, a middle-aged woman greeted them from behind a long glass counter. In the case beneath were various cakes and pastries, continued in a tall glass case to the left. Behind her was a large sign, detailing various sundaes, ice cream flavors and prices. "Oh, Rose. Good to see you again. These your friends?"


"Yes, Belle. This is Lily and Anya. We're here to eat until our stomachs hurt."
 
Skyia waited behind Azure while he went to talk, and when the new boy came to talk to him, she listened in a bit, and had kinda a hard time understanding what exactly he was talking about, at first he sounded really serious, but then suddenly he started acting a bit silly. Actually, he seems like the kind of guy who might be silly and a bit random if that's how he acted often. After a bit of conversation from the two, and Azure being able to tell Rose about his door, it seems like this problem might be fixed soon.


" No i'm fine. " She said responding to his comment, then he started talking to the other boy again, sitting aside listening to them as they spoke. Apparently Azure was going to have company for the night, with John, if she heard his name right, really hoping she did hear it right.


Rose went off and Skyia was still there with Azure and John. " Lets get going over to the cafe azure? " she said beaming her eyes over towards Azure, shifting her entire tail coil a bit. " Did you also want to come? " She asked John.


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


" A job...? " Shift just stood up looking down at the angel. He did notice she stopped before she could finish the sentence, but, he knew what she was going to say, and it, kinda made this empty feeling inside. Hes heard something similar before, and he was hoping he wouldn't need to hear it again, ever.


" I- uh, yea, I-i guess, its just that, I-i just d-don't have much i know t-to do, w-what can I d-do actually? N-nobody ever h-has s-suggested something that m-might be fun. "
 
Anya entered the shop in awe. It was as if she'd entered a bastion of light as the sun began to set over the horizon. This parlor was truly a magical wonderland, heralded by the sweet older lady ready to take her order.

Richter exhaled slowly, staring at the clock. "Ten minutes to Seven. It's time."


The vampire opened his trunk, and put on a brown, ornate leather belt. On the right side, he placed a holster containing the oversized revolver. On the left, he placed a Japanese sword, eyeing the blade before fixing it in place. The rest of the space was taken up by various shotgun shells and a pair of incendiary grenades. Next, he placed on a shoulder holster under his jacket,holstering on a pair of long .45s and several magazines. He pulled out a long, slightly thin chain whip, tipped with a sleek blade. He eyed it tenderly before placing it onto his belt.


Lastly, he grabbed an M79 with a sawed-off stock, loading it and grabbing a bandolier of 40mm grenades.


"I bet we'd have had fun tonight." he said, looking across the empty classroom.
