Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

[Advent Azure]

Azure talked with Bunny in a hushed voice, since it was personal stuff he was dealing with


"No, that's not it... you remember how I was able to turn us invisible when we first fought with Mel right? Well... I was able to do that with a special weapon of mine."


He flashed his Shadow Edge toward her for a couple seconds, and put it away


"I don't know what magic you tried to use on her, but it missed her, and hit me, and I ended up absorbing and gaining your magic. What sort of light magic did you try to use on Mel, because I'm able to attack with it now..."


-That's right..... I wish Kylier told me what 'other things' I was able to do with my weapon... I wonder why she said I couldn't yet...-


He looked over to Rose and Richter, mostly Richter since he was talking bad about Azure


"I'm just saying... but between me and Bunny, I was really the only thing that prevented Mel from hurting her even worse, and even damaged her... I'm not that useless... even if things go horribly wrong and we need to run... I should be able to get us all out of there..."


He remembered something that he wish he didn't experience... but in its own way it was useful


"Actually... when we went into the forest during the camping trip... not to go into details... I sorta got tied up to a tree... and for the next two days, that's pretty much the only thing I could hear, so its definitely somewhere in the forest..."


He looked away rather ashamed in saying that... but in the end it was useful information... so it was important for him to share that...

 

[ComradeSenpai]

Anya raised her hands to her face, letting out an audible gasp. "It's so pretty on you!" she smiled. She didn't even mind the stranger lady that just appeared.


"It's tight, but it looks good. Okay, which one next?" she repeated, going through the box. "...Should we choose one for her? I don't think they'll fit."

 

[Parsnip]

Curtis wandered into the dorms, resigning his remaining burger to the trash heap- it would be cold by now, anyway. He opened the door of the room below his, finding that the floor- or rather, ceiling- had been repaired. With luck, the maintenance man had left as well.


He climbed the steps, turned the corner- and found a bunch of people arguing and waving weapons around. He recognized the elf from the shop room, but the others were a mystery.


"Sorry-", he mumbled as he moved back towards the stairs, feeling as if he was somehow intruding, "-I'll, uh, just go now. Have a nice time doing, you know, whatever you're doing, I guess."


With that, he started back down the stairs.

 

[CSA]

Lily could think only of honorable seppuku as one of the teachers stepped out of the closet, mumbled something, and then went back in and appeared somehow as a woman. Well, seppuku and a myriad of other things like 'what' and 'why' and 'how' and '****'.


As happy as she normally would have been with Anya's compliment, she simply stood there with her mouth agape. Why her? Why was it always her? Why did all these strange people somehow find their way into her room all the time? Richter broke in and invited the whole school, that big strange guy accosted her and asked for her tooth brush, and now that creepy unarmed combat teacher was here except he was a girl now or something?


As embarrassing as this was, Lily's anger surpassed her embarrassment for now. She wouldn't outwardly express it at the moment as she did not wish to alarm or frighten Anya, so she simply addressed the teacher with a smile.


"Oh, hello mister... miss... Khan... person. What, may I ask, are you doing in the closet of a room occupied by two of your younger female students?"


This she just had to hear. Lily could discuss which costume to wear next after this was all sorted. She was livid, certainly, but maybe he had a reason.


Heck, maybe Rose had asked him to protect the two. She certainly wouldn't mind a bodyguard until this whole Mel business was finished, after all. Just so long as he didn't do anything weird and stayed a girl.

 

[Duwang]

"Supervision" he...she... it responded. Mr. Khan looked up to Lily, peering through his glasses. He leaned in toward her, glaring at her, before reclining back into his seat, crossing his legs, and folding his arms.


"You girls need supervision." he explained.

 

[Ashmorne]

Ariel gave a small smile and nodded her head, tucking a loose lock of hair behind an ear. The boy she met seemed kind, even though he was unavailable to help. Her wings pulsed slowly as she took a quick scan across the lunch room.


"Oh, of course. I understand, you're busy. Perhaps we'll meet again. I wouldn't want to keep you," Ariel replied in an easy tone, eying the exit in the corner. She wasn't sure what she would do next, or where she should even go. She bit back a sigh. An overwhelming day, indeed.

 

[amdreams]

"It's not nice to bet on people's lives. Plus, I'm sure Azure has a few tricks up his sleeves as well. You might be surprised." Rose was, of course, referring to Azure's Shadow Blade. If it really could absorb magic, then it would prove quite useful. Though it would depend on what sort of magic Mel used.


"You what?" Rose looked at Azure with wide eyes. Tied up? Left there for two days? Seriously? This school was really heading downhill. Bullies? Psycho teachers? Serial killers? She wanted to ask more, but it seemed aparent by his behavior that Azuree didn't want to talk about it. So she'd let it go . . . for now.


"Well, let's head out to the forest then. The less time we waste, the better." On the way, they came across Curtis who, though seemed to have heard a little of their conversation, acted oddly, walking off as if nothing happened. What a weird guy, but Rose had other things to think about.


She walked out of the castle and headed straight for the woods. She knew where the river was at least. After about ten minutes of walking, she spotted the rushing stream they had camped by some odd days ago, looking down at its clear waters, she thought of another issue. They had found water, but which way to go now. Left or right?


~~~~~


It took Bunny a second to process everything Azure had told her. He had absorbed her magic? Well, it wasn't that hard to believe. In the past, she had met people with similar power, so someone like that here. Plus, if he really could use her magic, it'd prove useful, right?


"It's a holy light," she whispered to him. "It's not that effective against most races. Probably just burns a little, kind of like touching a hot lightbulb. But for demons and vampires, it's pretty strong. It burns them on contact and pretty bad too. If you can really use it, we're going to need it."


As Azure retaled how he had helped her, Bunny's face fell. He was just defending himself but it was still a blow to her self-esteem. She was pretty much useless in the last fight, but she wouldn't be this time.


~~~~~


"Bye?" Vash watched as the angel left. That was sort of rude. She didn't even give her name. Oh well. He had other things to attend to. Mainly, that announcement. He really needed to find Mel. Now where was she again? Unsure of where to go, he just ran off in a random direction and hoped he was right.

 

[Advent Azure]

"Hmm..."


Azure looked left and right, but he wasn't sure which way would be correct...


"Sorry... I didn't see a River while I was here... the path I took here must of kept me just away from it... but... a waterfall would cause the water to be colder, and be more forceful in its flow... but, if both of these adjoining rivers are both from the same waterfall, and it split off somewhere, it should still take us to her no matter which path we take... if the latter is true"


He looked back toward Bunny and Richter


"Unless you two would happen to know which way would be right..."

 

[CSA]

Lily had no idea what he... she... whatever, meant by 'supervision'. But she certainly didn't enjoy his/her glare. What gall he had to barge into the room of two of his younger students and demand to watch them play dress-up.


"Supervision? Supervision? For two children playing dress-up? What could ever make you think that this is-"


Wait, this was far too ridiculous. Neither she nor Anya had any contact with this man before. As a matter of fact, there was no reason for him to be here or to assume that anything he was doing was at all appropriate unless he was sent by Rose to make certain that the two were safe.


Yes, that was it. That was the only logical answer. But then why would he not have said so?


"Wait, Rose is a clever girl. She must have told this man to treat the situation with discretion, so as not to reveal anything to Anya. It all fits perfectly if I think about it like this! There is simply no other explanation for this heinously inappropriate intrusion."





"Oh, riiight. 'Supervision'. Well... I suppose you can 'supervise' for the night, but just for tonight. And don't stare too much- treat this like a gentleman. Woman. Person."


Lily then broadly indicated his appearance by kind of pointing all around him.


"And stay like... like this. It makes me less uncomfortable."


Though she was still profoundly uncomfortable.


"I don't like boys in our room."

 

[Duwang]

"What the heck is this plant rambling on about?" Mr. Khan thought. Usually, he was more nervous around women. Around girls, however, he was slightly more in his element as he had been teaching them for several years. He looked blankly at the plant-woman. His arms remained crossed, his entire body relaxed as he reclined back in his seat.


As Lily continued, Mr. Khan simply nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Alright" he droned. As she finished, Mr. Khan produced a magazine and began reading it.


"Well, have fun."

 

[CZDoubleU]

{spawning in my room now.}


Dawn woke in a haze. Her head was throbbing in pain and her body felt weak. It felt as if she had not slept at all and yet she slept through the whole night- as the clock said- Dawn slowly rose rubbing one of her eyes while looking around with the other one. She noticed her room was unpacked and everything had been pre-set up for her. The clock said it was a time in the morning but what exactly the time was. Dawn was also unaware of how she got to bed. She glanced to the side closing her eyes for a second and then reopened them. To her left laid a small black figure. It did not move and for the most part looked practically dead by the way it's head was turned upside down and the rest of its body was to the side. Dawn knew this was only Black and did not freak out.


Day in and day out Dawn faced mornings like this. Black had to of just fallen asleep after being up all night and probably had been the one who unpacked all of her things as well as probably his own. Sighing slightly figuring this out she rose off the bed. She did not know what to wear so just put on her previous school's uniform. Not knowing where to go she woke black and decided that she should go to class. First she would find someone who could help her. After all she was confused.


Dawn gripped her bag and a book letting black walk beside her as a large black wolf. He pawed around panting since it was so hot for him. All if his kind had this problem. Their temperature meters were really broken. They passed people and classrooms while on their way to find someone to help them. Dawn was a shy person she would not go to someone on her own. She would need help with this but black would have to advocate for her.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Supervision?" Anya pondered. It was weird for them to need supervision for this; they'd played dress up alone who knows how many times. Still, this lady wore sunglasses, so she was probably cool. Anya bet she drove a motorcycle and didn't take no for an answer.


"Okay. So what costumes should we wear next, Lily? Maybe we can get a pair that matches." she suggested.


-----------


"We'll head upstream, see if we see anything." Richter declared, marching forward. "I can't waste time trying to cross this river anyways."

 

[amdreams]

"Hm? A waterfall . . . " Rose thought about it for a minute. There was a clearing somewhat nearby with a waterfall that fed into this river. It was fairly large, which would provide ample space for a fight. And with little to no trees within the clearing itself, it would be susceptible to sunlight.


"That's it! She must be there. Upstream it is." Rose then started running up river, expecting everyone to follow.


A little while later, she broke out of the trees, nearly stumbling onto the snow. Right behind her was Bunny who was also traveling as hastily but didn't seem to have the luck Rose did. The angel quickly shot up, brushing the snow out of her hair. Not exactly the best entrance.


The half-elf looked ahead to where a girl sat on a large rock at the edge of the lake. Mel was in an oddly relaxed fashion, looking rather . . . bored? As she finally took notice of the others, she scowled, though it looked more out of annoyance than anything.


"Do you realize how long I had to wait for your slow asses? How hard could it have been to find me? Seriously, if everyone at this school is as clueless as you lot, getting rid of them would be so easy, it wouldn't be fun."

 

[CSA]

As Lily watched the teacher sit back and pop open a magazine, she couldn't help but think that he really got into this whole 'supervising' thing. He was a really good role player, which was great if she didn't want Anya thinking anything odd.


"Uh... OK, yeah. We'll have fun."


Lily turned back to Anya. There was a lot she had to think about, but foremost would have to be dress-up for now.


"Hm... well, we have plenty of matching costumes. I really don't mind wearing whatever you want me to, but... wanna be a pair of knights? That sounds pretty fun."

 

[Advent Azure]

"Right..."


-Hopefully we won't have to get into a fight...-


He followed Rose closely, he wasn't sure if she could honestly do anything to Mel, and thought that he had to be ready to do something. Even though in his thoughts he hopes that no fighting will break out, his action of staying near Rose is quite contradictory of his words. He looked back as she heard Bunny fall into the snow...


"Eh..... you alright...?"


Azure wasn't sure what to think of Bunny falling in the snow simply from traveling... he was starting to doubt if it was a good idea for them to come along, as far as he was concerned, Richter is probably going to be the most reliable one. When stopped along with Rose, looking at where she was looking after a moment to see Mel, with her talking back at them...


"Er... I'm sorry..."


-Eh...?-


As far as Azure was concerned psychologically, she was far more threatening than Kylier. Issues are Issues...


"Maybe... you'll consider letting them all go peacefully if they aren't even anything entertaining to you then...? It's not like they did anything to you."

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Wait. I got a better match." Anya grinned. "One of us can be a knight... and the other can be a princess!" she exclaimed.


"Then instead of being the same thing, we'd be a matching pair. What do you think? Which do you wanna be?"

 

[CSA]

Lily smiled at Anya's enthusiasm.


"OK, that sounds fun," said Lily. She was still thinking of 'matching' in terms of the same outfit except different colors or themes. But she was riding the cosplay train now, and matching costumes usually meant two completely different things within a theme.


"I guess this guy's presence is still kinda getting to me. But I suppose it's the safest measure, so I'll just have to deal for tonight."





"Well, if it's up to me... I'd like to be the princess."


Lily didn't want to say it out loud because she thought it would sound patronizing, but Anya made for such a cute little knight. Not that she didn't look right at home as a princess too, but Lily had put her in enough dresses and skirts for the moment.

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Right away!" Anya answered, rummaging through the box. She pulled out a frilly looking bundle and recognized it as Lily's. She handed it to her friend excitedly, bouncing up and down.


"Hurry up and put it on!" she exclaimed, going back through the box for her own outfit.


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


"I'd hate to disappoint, but I doubt that's an option, Bane." Richter said, shouldering his gun. "Her bloodlust is no doubt too out of control for her to just quit. And it's my job t0- hold on a second."


Richter pulled out a phone, and began typing on the keypad.


Dear Khan


Drop the oil drum in the ocean. Be sure to go quite a few miles out on boat. Gas & GPS recommended. Trolley in tool shed.


-Richter.


"And send." The vampire put the cellular away and readied his PKM. "Anyways, I can't have a mass murderer running around unchecked. This is your only warning: submit or die."

 

[Advent Azure]

"I don't think its blood lust that's driving her... if she's calling only us out of here"


-That's right... Kylier said something about this too now that I think about it... if she's a mass murderer... why attend school at all? Couldn't she just come in and... end everyone in one fell swoop... what would have been the point of trying to blend in, or just try to be normal?-


"I mean...... eh?"


Azure looked at Richter confused...


-... what is he... doing at a time like this...?-


"You don't know what will happen if you don't at least try... right? If the problem is that you all think of her as an enemy, if she becomes a friend, we won't have enemies anymore..... right? There's at least got to be a reason for her acting like this I'm sure..."


He looked toward Mel


"Mel! Can't you at least tell us why we are all here now not just because you hate us or anything like that, but more like, why this is all happening in the first place?"





That is when Azure noticed... something extremely unsettling... or at the very least... disappointing... and looked at a rock near Mel, and spoke in a confused and somewhat angry voice


".....Kylier... what are you doing..."


Kylier was just laying down on a rather flat stretch of rock on top of a towel as well, with one leg moved in toward her, with the other laying on top of it, and laying her head on her arms crossed behind her, just looking up into the sky. The rock she was on was rather close to Mel, but not overly so... how unlike her to respect personal space... From how it looked to Azure, she was taking cue after Mel... looking relaxed and bored. Obviously she had to be cloaked in her illusions, how else could she be so near Mel otherwise.


-Why are you here..... really...-


Kylier didn't react at all to much, she just lifted her head up a bit, raised an arm, and waved at him for a bit, then resumed her resting position.


"Just saying Azure, but you are a pathetic idealist. It doesn't matter what she's doing at this point or for what, she probably called you here so that she could kill you all, and I look quite forward to it. Maybe if you do something worthwhile for my attention, I'll bail you out at the last second before she's about to finish you off. I'm hoping to learn something, so there's your hint."


As per usual, Kylier doesn't seem to be taking this seriously at all, and is more of a game to her than anything. Everyone's lives here are a walking bank of funds that can be redeemed for entertainment as far as she seems to be concerned. Azure knows however, that despite that terrible attitude of hers, that she is being very serious about the whole thing, and that its just a way of her trying to get to him.


"Ugh..."

 

[MechaGhoul]

Espinosa glanced around as she noticed she had her head laying on the dining hall table. "... That was some good stuff." She quickly reached her hands upwards and began stretching, "Well then." Espinosa smirked as she cracked her knuckles. She reached into her bag as she confirmed it was there. It was, she headed out of the dining hall, and out of the Academy.


Payaso Rey está bajando! She thought to herself, it was only a matter of time before Brimstone would deck the floor against Clown King. He thought he was such a lovable character, and that no one could face his silly antics. Espinosa smirked and chuckled at the thought. Oh no "Clown King", you will feel the FURY OF BRIMSTONE! And with that she headed off to the Luchador Ring, ready for combat.

 

[amdreams]

"I-I'm fine," Bunny said, turning away from Azure and the others. That was rather embarrassing. Tripping over nothing. Though she supposed she was getting better at it. Falls scarcely hurt anymore, though that might be her just getting used to it. And seriously, after all this time, it'd be strange if she hadn't grown some form of durability.


Out of the corner, she watched Mel, who seemed a bit confused by Azure's questions. "What are you five or something?" she asked. "Fun or not, they are still just a bunch of complete eyesores. Besides, I can find ways to make it more . . . entertaining. Besides, I've got nothing to say. You've all seem to have made your judgments."


Mel hopped down from her rock, opening her arms in a provoking manner. "Submit or die? Hm . . . I don't really feel like doing either." She was certainly not going to submit to a group of people like them. And she most definitely had no intention of dying here. "So, are we going to get this done? Or do I need to kill a couple babies? Make it painfully obvious how much of a 'demon' I am?"


"I'm not going to let you do that!" Rose exclaimed before dashing toward Mel. The half-elf pulled back her fist and aimed for Mel.


"Are you kidding me?" Mel asked, grabbing Rose's fist and twisting her arm behind her back. "You honestly thought you could hit me at that speed?" However, Rose smiled and her other hand began to glow. She shoved it forcefully into Mel's face, blinding her temporarily. With her distracted now, Rose broke free.


"Ha! How was that?" But Rose's comment was met with a leg sweep and a hard kick to the stomach. Mel's eyes still seemed a bit dazed but otherwise she seemed unaffected. "Idiot. You honestly thought I wouldn't know how to fight in the dark? Now . . . what else can you show me? Or is this the best you've got?"

 

[Advent Azure]

"That's..."


Azure was surprised to see Rose charge off at her first. He didn't think she had anything to fight with besides her fists, however he noticed that she had magic available to her. It looked like light magic to him, and saw her reel back from whatever she did. He figured that Richter would try to rip her apart or would keep shooting her past the point of death.


"There it is... its about time..."


"Ah Rose!"


Ignoring Kylier, he had a plan. From the sound of things, Rose blinded her


"In the dark... I have a plan Richter, just make sure you can react"


Azure pulled out Shadow Edge and used Kylier's magic to wrap himself in illusions to remove only sound from himself to reduce the stress on himself since Mel is already unable to see.


"..."


He went on behind Mel, and tried to give her a full nelson to force her to remain still, and then stopped using the magic on him.


-This is boring... the fight only just started...-


"Hey Azure, while your at it, perhaps you could give me her three measurements from there, I suppose that could pass as information..."


She used her illusions to keep Rose, Richter, and Bunny from hearing this, but Azure's very close proximity to Mel made her unable to prevent Mel from hearing what she had just said, and what she is going to say


"Measurements... what do you mean by that...?"


"Heh... you know, her bust, waist, and hip sizes..."


"Wa... what!?!"


Azure instantly got embarrassed, confused, and distracted a bit, but overall not wanting to so much as even touch her, and caused him to not hold Mel in the most strict position, and loosened a bit. It was all easily see-able on his face on just actually how he felt over this.


"I'm not going to do that! That's just Sick Kylier!"





"It's your life we are dealing with here you know..."

 

[CSA]

"OK, OK, I'm hurrying," said Lily, laughing a little. Even though Bunny was gone, Anya was still so excited. It made Lily really happy.


Lily slithered over to the closet, changed, and came out in an exceptionally pretty and regal white dress. Her petals were turned down to accommodate the costume, which once again made her look far more humanoid. Lily had on a plastic tiara with shiny pink plastic gemstones, and long white gloves. She looked somewhat natural as a princess, given her hairstyle and her lithe and elegant appearance.


"It is I- princess Lilium Darlingtonia of the Darlingtonia kingdom." She announced.


Truly Lily was meant to be royalty.

 

[Croissant]

Elaem

​

Elaem continued to feel an odd presence but kept eating silently and Vash chomped down his food like an animal, Elaem continued to think what people meant by the supposed serial killer that was in the school, Elaem had gotten zero to no details from Nava so he simply sighed and continued to eat his food. He snapped out of deep thought when he heard a voice, a rather deep voice but still it was recognized as a females voice.


"Hello there, eyesores. My name is Mel, though you guys probably know me by a different name. But I'm not going to bore you with the details. Now it's come to my attention that some of you are scheming and you know who you are. I just want to say . . . Bring it on."





The intercom cut off sound and Elaem had gotten his answer, that was definately the person whom they spoke about, just by how she spoke. Vash quickly stood up mentioning his day off was done and walked away after saying bye. Vash was obviously involved so Elaem stood and followed him from a distance. He kept following him until and angel had seemingly knocked into him, and of course Elaem sighed as he would have to wait until they stopped speaking but from the corner of his eye he saw that Azure guy. Green hair isn't easily missed. He was with 2 other people a blonde girl and a giant of a man. Elaem decided to follow them around since it seems they were also alarmed by the voice.


--Timeskip to follow--


Elaem used the All seeing eyes of his too keep himself hidden and follow them around at a good pace, when he went up the stream behind them he heard something. Elaem had brought with him an Iron Staff (staff is lightweight) that he "borrowed" from an open gym in the school. To use it in combat if needed. He heard the same voice as before saying.


"Do you realize how long I had to wait for your slow asses? How hard could it have been to find me? Seriously, if everyone at this school is as clueless as you lot, getting rid of them would be so easy, it wouldn't be fun."


"--Well she sounds nice..--" he thought to himself


He then could see another magical presence, talking to the green haired boy, his eyes were able to detect her shape and her aura but he couldn't hear her, he knew he would have to keep an eye out for her, he sensed the reason why he couldn't see her directly was through some illusions. The fight escalated, the "Rose" girl as he heard Azure shout could use Light magic, concentration points through her palms most likely, that Azure guy had an odd blade that Elaem presence before, it looked very odd in his eyes, just radiating dark but in an inward way, as if surrounding itself, as if it were going to implode sort of. He kept his eyes on the blade and the person clouded by Illusions. But he then looked towards the girl they were fighting.


"....Huh." he said

 

[Parsnip]

Curtis looked around the hall, trying (and failing) to make as little noise as possible as he crept to his dorm. The repairman had already left, the window was bricked off. Curtis bolted the door. What he would be attempting required absolute privacy.


He finished unpacking and removed the false bottom from his trunk. He breathed a sigh of relief as he found its contents exactly as he left it- no one had discovered his darkest and most terrible of secrets. Yes, soon his work would be finished, and all the long hours and failed attempts would be worth it- his magnum opus.


Yes, tonight he would finish knitting a sweater that would actually fit him.
