Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

The teacher backed away slightly, shaking the blood off his face. "Yuck" he remarked, before bringing his bloody hand to his nose and sniffing it. With a curious look, he tasted it slightly. "Oh... so you're one of those regen types" Mr Khan chuckled. "I dealt with some of your type before. Not many of them, but I've dealt with a few in my time here as a student. The guy pissed my off... kinda like you sorta piss me off. But not because of some misunderstanding. I just hated the fact that I couldn't just stab him without him just regenerating once I took the blade out- so I learned my lesson: don't take the blade out."


Mr. Khan gave a nostalgia filled laugh, wiping a tear from his eye. "Good times..." he mumbled. "Anyways. Yeah, I'm taking you out." The teacher raised his knee, his foot kept facing the ground, before he kicked outward toward John's stomach.
 
John sighed as he felt the knee connect and a few ribs crack and reconnect. He looked up at the teacher he now assumed to be painfully stupid as his shadow silently put a backpack beside him. John got up and pulled out a water balloon from the backpack tossing it at the teacher.


"Sorry, thought it is a pleasure to meet my future colleague, I simply have to save my true power for Lu's kid. You understand right?"


John shrugs as he says this as the water balloon heads towards the professor in a light lob.

Richter's head popped back in the room. "He really a regenerator? I brought the stuff."


He carted in a wheelbarrow with a tarp over it. "Just say the word and I'll finish it off."
 
Mr. Khan grabbed the water balloon, examining it before taking his fingers and poking a hole in it. Before too much water could spill out, he brought the hole to his mouth and drank from the balloon. "Look, if you really don't want to fight, just accept the detention. I don't want to do this either."
 
John laughed out loud as he did this, rolling on the floor mercilessly as he brought out a can of hairspray, pointed it at liquid that was still on the man's lips and mouth, brought his lighter up to the hairspray and unleashed a torrent of flame that engulfed the area around him, likely setting the professor on fire.
 
As the flame spat from the can and toward the teacher, Mr. Khan stood still in the same position before getting on the ground with John, screaming as the top of his body was engulfed in flame. He stopped, as the fire continued, singing through his shirt. The smell of flesh was evident through the halls. There was a second of silence before his legs moved, the teacher getting back up. The flame disappeared, steam rising from the teacher's body.


Mr. Khan made a majestic pose, as he appeared unharmed from the fire. His shirt was missing, his tie singed, but the man himself was not. It was the water from the balloon, Mr. Khan had manipulated it in such a way that he put out the flame. Then suddenly, the teacher brought his arms out, he took a neutral stance.


"It'd be a shame if I fought you without explaining how my powers worked. You see, I'm a shapeshifter, but I control every minute detail of my own body. What you saw back there? Regeneration like you did, then I used my sweat glands to put out the fire with the water I just drank. What I'm going to do now is a little different. You see, when creatures exercise, their bodies heat up. This it their burning of calories. I can burn said calories at will, allowing me to superheat my body."


Mr. Khan got onto John as he was on the floor, pinning him down by the neck with his hand.
 
John laughed as this was part of his plan. The stupid water balloon was not filled with water. The teacher would be engulfed in flames as the foolish teacher had not decided to ask if John had truly filled the balloon with water! Instead he decided to fill it with napalm. He watches as the teacher writhes in pain as napalm cannot be put out with water or sweat. John laughs like a lunatic as he approaches the now engulfed teacher.


"You're a fool. That wasn't water! That was a concoction I made out of styrofoam dissolved in gasoline and you actually drank it!" John laughed like a maniac as the teacher's insides were burning as napalm was highly flammable. "You have roughly ten seconds to surrender and I'll put out the flames, I'm afraid though that water and sweat can't put those out, no you need something a little more specialized."
 
"How about no?" Mr. Khan said, not in flames. "My body has plenty of water- it's mostly water in fact, but I'll give the stuff you put in me to good use, I promise. I'm the unarmed combat teacher after all.""


He scratched John's neck, just enough to open a wound, then jammed his thumb in before he could regenerate. The teacher moved the thumb around. "This is your carotid artery. It's what gives oxygen to that little head of yours" he made the vein more evident. A vein protruded from Mr. Khan's thumb. "This is just some vein from my wrists" he explained.


Suddenly, the vein became hot. "Speaking of calories, they're just available energy humans and other animals can burn... me? I can do whatever I need... like burning napalm as energy?" The hot fuel was injected into John through the teacher's thumb. He pulled his hand away before pressing his hand against the boy's arms, keeping him from escaping.
 
Wind began to eacape from.beneath her feat as the two strands of hair began to lift. "Dont call me a liar when you know nothing about me." She glared at him so tempted to hit him , kill him , decapatate or anything that would please her. However in order to move forward she would have to explain things. She looked toward Eleam before sighing and calming herself. " This world is cruel so in order to save myself I created two. Common in this world I guess. I am not a liar. I have a timid side and the side you see now. What she can't handle I can. So dont call me a liar. I protect myself thats all there is. "


She crossed her arms before looking away. " Jello-kun before was a dear friend of mine till I failed to save him. I was to timid to scared so after that I made me. If you perfer her then have her...weak." Naval closed her eyes


. Turning around she began to cry as she walked away.


"I hate people." With help from her wind she lifted from the ground and pushed herself onward and toward the library.

Curtis looked closely at the little plastic plate on the door.


CUSTODIAL CLOSET


Yep, this was probably it. He opened the door to find what appeared to be... a little office? There was someone reading a newspaper at the desk.


"Er, excuse me, sir, but are you the janitor?"


"Custodian.", a voice said.


"What?"


The newspaper was carefully folded and placed on the desk, revealing a gigantic fiddler crab, the thing's body measuring three feet across just on its own.


"I'm a custodian-", the crab said calmly, "-well, actually, I'm Tevye, but I'm a custodian by trade. Filling in for groundskeeper Shift at the moment, so if you came here to complain about sloppy work, get out."


"I was just- could you unlock the shop room for me?"


Tevye let out a little crab-sigh as he tossed Curtis a heavy key-ring. "That should unlock most doors in the school. Don't lose it."


"Uh, yes sir!"


Curtis gave a crooked salute and dashed back to the shop room.
 
Espinosa wiped some sweat off of her brow. which she had right next to her. "Well then." She glanced around real quickly as she pulled out a cigarette from her jacket pocket as she glanced upwards, as she casually placed the cigarette in her mouth. She raised her left index finger as she lit the cigarette. She released a puff of smoke, "Note to self, I need to check with Ritcher. But, one little smoke break." Espinosa smiled as she glanced up at the sky, "It is a really nice day today." She finished the cigarette as she placed the butt of it in her pants pockets. Será una buena noche para luchar! Miss Espinosa thought to herself as she clenched her left fist and smirked. She waited a few seconds, observing the clouds, before she returned back into the school.
 
(Please remember, all this is Vash's own prejudices and misunderstandings. And sorry for the sucky post. My mind is a little . . . preoccupied at the moment.)


Vash puffed out his cheeks and crossed his arms. "I-I didn't do anything." Yeah, he didn't do anything wrong. It's just that Mel was being pissy about her rules and the plan and the screts being leaked. She was being crazy.


His fist tightened as Naval tried to defend herself. It wasn't working. In fact, her story was making him angrier. Her speaking as if she was the only one with such a story. If it had been so traumatic, then how was she able to tell it to a complete stranger? If "Jello-kun" was so precious, then why was she giving his name away to Elaem, who she barely knew*? Plus, you don't create people like that. Vash learned where babies came from when he was younger. You needed a mommy and a daddy. Babies don't get born when someone dies. This girl was such a liar.


After she left, Vash turned to Elaem. "Your friend left."


*Elaem said he was new to the school so Vash assumes Naval just met him today as well.

-I don't think she's here anymore... I don't feel like I'm going to die anymore..... on the inside...-



Azure was rather conflicted... he wanted to listen in more as to why the two were questioning Vash... but he really didn't think that anything at all would really come from it. He already seems to distrust them as it is... he still wasn't to sure about Naval... but he was surprised to see that she was capable of magic...


-Vash really does have a point... but there really is just to much I don't know..... ugh... why is everyone so complicated... I'm not even sure if Kylier was giving me bad advice about avoiding others... Its good to know how to deal with things like this right...?-


Azure shook his head though, he thought at for at least now... its probably best to leave her be... and he thought that he should share this info with them, considering what he figured of that girl from all his encounters with her


-Kylier is probably going to want to me to get to know that girl... and be a friend with her...-


He went over to the other green hair


"I probably wouldn't worry about her... I don't really know her to well... and this is just me speaking... but since she's been alone this long, and since she's tougher than she looks... she'll probably rebound given enough time... I think that talking to her is probably only going to make things worse for her at the moment... as far as I know..."


-After all... I know exactly what its like to lose everything important to you...-



He looked over at Vash for a moment, but he really didn't have anything to say to him... its not like he had a problem with Azure it seemed as long as he's away from Mel, so its not like he would have a problem with him either. With that, he just continued down the hall, and went inside the cafeteria.


-...-


He stared at the menu board for a while, he wasn't sure what to get though, even though he's had the food here for a while though


"I wonder what I should get... now feels like a time for something different... but I just don't know..."

Elæm







Elæm remained with a plain face the time she continued to descend from the ground, becoming angrier for some reason, and he wondered why. Was it because Vash called her a liar? Or was it because of Elæm, Elæm became a bit conflicted as this whole friends thing was new, and who would have known this girl would have had such volatile emotions.


Elæm finally understood that she had 2 "personas" to keep herself sheltered from the world. Elæm didn't really judge her for this, he understood her feelings and her way of hiding, but he didn't find it as a reliable way to hide, it wouldn't help her endure anything, that other side will soon take over and she'll want to always have that protection that comes with the price of changing her persona, like a powerful drug people will do anything for a sense of security, even if it is a false one. A security of any emotion really. Elæm remained quiet during this time and simply stared her in the eyes. He wanted to help her but he was still after his truth






He clenched his fist and was about to go chase after her but suddenly a green haired fellow got in the way. He stopped and regained his same act, the green haired guy seems to know Naval as well and explained that going after her or talking to her would be a mistake, he quickly left after glancing at Vash but not speaking, it seemed Vash was involved in something that made him a bit known among a select group, make it good or bad, he was known. But Elæm still didn't understand why she broke out or said that Jello-kun was someone special to her heart... Why? What's the meaning behind this "Jello-kun" name he has been labeled.


He decided to play it off and continue as if nothing happened. He looked at Vash and said


"Uh... Weird, let's just go get some food, I'm starving." He said in a bit of a dumbed down tone, a bit relaxed the way that Vash would probably
 
Rose was making her way around the school in quick strides, not enough to be running but enough to easily pass by any students wandering the halls. She had been looking for just about anyone involved now. Richter, Azure, Lily, heck, even Mel and her cronies would've been nice to find. However, she couldn't find anyone, not a single person who could help. But she did see something that made her stop.


The door to the shop class. It was open. It shouldn't be. Classes had been cancelled today and no one was allowed to use it without special permission, due to the danger of the machines inside. And Rose didn't remember giving anyone permission to use this room lately. Walking inside, she noticed a rather large boy she didn't recognize. There have been a lot of new students these days, weren't there? Still that didn't explain why he was here. In fact it only questioned it more. "Who are you? And why are you in the shop room? Classes were cancelled today."

"Yay! Foods!" Vash jumped a bit, fists in the air and ready to rush off to the dining hall. He noticed Azure coming by but the boy's business didn't seem to be with him but with Elaem. As the two spoke, Vash thought if it was a rule for all people with like hair colors to know each other. Azure seemed to know Naval and her hair was green. But Vash didn't know anyone else with white hair other than his sister. Maybe it was a green thing. Like a secret leprachaun society. God, it all made sense now. Azure, Elaem and Naval were all Irish. Of course.


Vash doubled over as his stomach rumbled. Man, he was hungry. He hadn't eaten for, like, 2 hours now. It's a wonder he wasn't dead yet. But soon the boys reached the dining hall and Vash was instantly in line, ordering every meat dish he could find on the menu. A mountain of dishes in his arms, he sat at the nearest table he could find before diving into his food, already forgetting the people who had come with him.

Damn it. ******* damn it. Mel slammed her fist into a nearby tree, having finally slowed down after running into the woods bordering the school grounds. If what Mel had seen was true, then that little "leak" problem was definitely spreading. Her secret was basically out and that would hinder her goal immensely. Was it that arrogant leech? She should've silenced him when she had the chance. Then things wouldn't have gotten this far out of hand.


She paced back and forth, considering her options now. There wasn't really much she could do now. Even if she killed off the people who knew, someone would notice if the student council president disappeared. That arrogant ****. Maybe Mel should do it anyway. Just kill them and move on to the next destination. It's not like she was immensely fond of the school.


She could do that. But hell if she'd just be run off like that. If she was going to leave, she'd might as well give them a little show.
 
While Naval ran through the school she heard something. It was faint as.if the wind was speaking to her. Stopping in mid run she looked out towaed the window then past that to the forest. Changing course Naval ran outside into the forest. Looking around she listened to the wind. Up ahead was a girl. She seemed rather angry. Titlting her head she ran up behind a tree and stopped behind it. Yellinf out to her she watched.


"Miss are you okay?"

Curtis rubbed the back of his head. "Well, I was going to cut a new floorboard, because the floor in my room broke, see. The thing is, though- gosh, this is embarrassing- I, uh, forgot to measure the boards. So, see, I was looking for a tape-measure in here-", he made a sweeping gesture, indicating the shop room, "-but I can't seem to find- oh!"


He slapped his forehead.


"Sorry, I skipped the introductions again. Name's Curtis. You, uh, wouldn't happen to know where I could find a tape-measure, would you? Maybe some nails and varnish, too."
 
"Well now... looks as if you've made quite a spectacle of yourself and others... so much so... that even you seem to be at a loss of exactly how to proceed from here..."


Kylier was casually leaning on a tree in plain sight of Mel as if she'd be waiting there...


-Looks like another is going to be coming soon... I had hoped illusions would be enough to hide the presence of us... what ability is it that Naval has to hear her regardless...-


"It seems that I won't have a chance to ask my questions after all..... since a neutral party is coming for you... and it isn't Azure if you were wondering..."



Even if she wasn't able to ask what she wanted, hopefully, mentioning his name will hold some meaning to her... be it that she'll have to kill him or such...


"I'll be hanging around the middle of the woods... if you are interested in... simply talking... after all... I'm sure you would love to confront me before you do what it is that makes you so special... and run to your next destination..."


Kylier walked into the woods, vanishing in the distance as she did so... of course, after she was cloaked, she literally walked right back, who know's what Naval will do with Mel alone... might be interesting after all


~~~~~


"Uh..."


Azure couldn't help but watch... the series of events known as 'The Food-en-ing" with Vash...


-Somehow... I don't really have much of an appitate anymore..... would this mean he's eating for me though...?-


Azure couldn't help but wonder about that rather odd train of thought... At least Azure doesn't need anything from Vash anymore... but still... it was a wondrous thing... He also noticed Elæm coming through as well... he wasn't sure why he was with Vash... but he never saw him here before.


"Oh... its you again... didn't think I'd run into you again here"
 
When Anya stepped out of that closet, Lily couldn't help but completely admire her. Those adorable frills, the wavy pleating, and that calculated stitching all on the one person who wore it best. Anya was meant for lace and ruffles, and the color black went so well with her dark hair and porcelain skin.


Lily simply looked on as she gave a twirl, and almost lost her voice when the girl imitated a maid- asking her 'master' how she might be of service.


Of course, 'master' was the male noun, but everything else was so perfect Lily could not bring herself to correct the girl- much less care.


"So cute!" She squealed. "What an adorable little maid you are!"


But Lily was too excited. She took a quick picture and calmed herself down a little, adjusting her glasses.


"W-well then, head maid Anya. Your employer, Professor Darlingtonia, requests a hug. Chop chop- I need this for science."
 
"Right away, master." Anya gave a bow, answering in her most collected voice. Immediately after, she sprung up, and clung onto Lily, pulling her into a tight hug, laughing all the while.


"This is fun!" she exclaimed, cuddling up against her friend. "Which one should I put on next? I'll let you choose. Any you want!"
 
Mel scowled as Kylier and some green elf showed themselves. Oh great. More nuisances. Could she not get a ******* moment of peace and quiet without some ignorant little busybodies tried to shove their nose into her business or some rag time team of "vigilantes" trying to attack her?!


Every new uninvited guest only managed to piss her off more. It was quite obvious neither girl knew what personal boundaries were. Either that or they actually had the gall to believe themselves too high and mighty to consider that maybe, just ******* maybe, Mel wanted to be left alone. Hideous, both of them. The only even remotely good thing was that Kylier seemed to have the common sense to ******* leave. Yeah, except Mel actually had business with the cotton candy *****.


She flipped Naval off. "**** off, brat. This doesn't concern you."

"Um . . . The floors here are made of stone . . . " Rose raised an eyebrow, staring at the boy. How did he manage to break the floor in his room? And why today of all days? There already seemed to be a lot on her plate as it was and now something else to take care of? "Regardless of your reason, no one is allowed in the shop room outside of class hours without special permission. If you've broken something, then you report the damages to me. I'm Rose, president of the student council."


"A broken floor can be remedied fairly easy. We have an earth elemental as a teacher on staff who can fix it. But . . . Curtis, I need to know how you managed to break it."



(I'll try to post for Bunny later today.)
 
Elaem


Elæm followed Vash to the lunch room thinking about the words the green haired boy said, and quickly dismissed thoughts of it, he wanted to learn more of the situation at this school, he wasn't going to play for either side until he knew what is going on, even then he will only go for his own justice, not what others have pre set among a certain team.


But he started thinking how, he could manipulate Vash into letting him in on whatever it is but he still wasn't very fond of manipulating people, Vash seemed like a pretty cool guy, even if he wasn't the smartest. But then again he can't really judge a book by it's cover but from the looks of it something elaborate was done to make the situation this seriously, and if Vash and said serial killer are connected it means they're probably allies and Vash is being ordered to do certain things, Elæm did not want to put too much thought in the 'Serial Killer' part, the term was vaguely described by Nava so he wasn't sure if it was literal for the person. Why would they allow a serial killer into the school in the first place?


Elæm noticed he had been standing there instead of walking for a while, at the doorway of the lunch room, he noticed Vash had simply gotten a large pile of food with an exaggerated amount of meat. He walked towards the Green haired boy whom in a not so nostalgic way was surprised to see him apparently, even though he had stated he was coming here.


"Yeah, didn't think you would be here either..." Elæm said as he turned his head


to look at Vash's grossly large meal.


Elæm made a sour face for a second but then sighed


"I wasn't that hungry anyways..." He said


He quickly grabbed a water bottle and payed for it and went back to stand next to the boy. He drank some of it and sighed.


"My name's Elæm, if you don't mind, what's yours?" He asked
 
"I was, uh, fighting... a robot. Yeah, a, uh, robot from- from the future; it said I was, uh, going to stop its- uh, evil plans, in the future and it wanted to, uh, umm-" His shoulders slumped as he buried his face in his hands.


"I was lifting weights and I dropped one on accident." Curtis mumbled, embarrassed.
 
Azure realized that he may have come off on the wrong foot toward him... its not like he disliked Elæm or anything, but he still wasn't sure about him being with Vash... it was probably nothing though still... Vash's eating...


"I can understand why..."


He couldn't bare to look back at Vash... he already saw...


"My name is Azure... and I'm guessing you are new here..."


He looked over at the money he payed...


"You probably should know... but in the main cafeteria... where we are... everything is free... its only in all of the other food vending areas that you would have to pay... not that I don't think they'd like a tip"
 
Bunny had to admit that she was a bit in awe of how much Anya suited her maid costume. The frills and color scheme only seemed to add to the neko's doll-like appearance. Lily was right to fawn over the girl angel could see why Lily was fawning over the girl, demanding a hug in a most endearing fashion. "It's cute, Anya."


As Lily and Anya discussed more costumes for the dress up game, Bunny looked toward the clock. It was afternoon now and so far, there was no word on the whole Mel situation. Odd. After the confrontation yesterday, Bunny was sure something was going to happen today. Her hand brushed over the gun Richter had given her as it lay on the table beside her. She was a bit worried. She didn't think this would drag out. If last night was any indication, Mel was at the very least a bit impulsive. She wasn't going to wait.


She became increasingly worried and as well as uncomfortable in her current outfit. Bunny excused herself back into the closet and this time picked a sailor uniform. Given that it was from Lily's collection, it hung a bit loose on her frame, but she supposed that was better than the tightness in Anya's clothing.


~~~~~


Vash kept on eating, a bit confused as to why Azure and Elaem weren't. The food was good and there was plenty. There should've been no reason to deny it. The fact that they weren't eating was starting to anger the demon. Vash had grown up in poverty. Even the scraps he and his sister ate were scarce. Even if he was happy then, he couldn't deny that more days than not, his stomach would cry out in pain, not satified with what meager meals he had. These idiots were taking the feast for granted. "You guys need to eat. You're both skinnier than little girls. Besides, who knows if you'll be alive for your next meal."


~~~~~


Rose sighed, her body loosening at Curtis' obvious embarrassment. "It's fine, Curtis. Accidents happen. But we have specially made training rooms for that sort of stuff, so try to use them, okay?"
