Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

It was after some minutes of relative quiet when Anya pulled back, her blouse stained with tears. "Yeah. Everything's gonna be okay." she stared deeply into Lily's eyes, wiping tears from the alraune's cheek.


She yawned, and tugged her friend down beside her onto the bed. "It's gonna be okay" Anya repeated, holding Lily close until waves of slumber began to wash over them.


---


Anya yawned as she stirred awake. Opening her eyes, she discovered Lily's still sleeping form next to her. She smiled gently, and cuddled up close to the alraune. She was glad she could be there for her friend, when she needed it.
 
Skyia slithered around in the infirmary looking through the rooms. She started hearing these strange rumors of a fight that might have happened, and something that concerned her, was hearing that a green haired human was in the middle of it too. Surely it couldn't be Azure right? But... it still didn't settle well on Skyia's conscious not to just check, just in case.


Off she slithered until, in one of the rooms. She could see a bit of a green hair color, with another person standing in there too in beside him with a very noticeable pink hairstyle. Seeing this began to make Skyia even more concerned, she slithered on wards slightly into the room knocking onto the door. " U-um, excuse me, who's the occupant in this room? " Asking the pink haired demon with a notable worried tone in it.


(( Ill post for Shift, Vic and Jay soonish. ))
 
Kylier looked over at the lamia as she spoke toward her.


-... As much as it would be my pleasure to be as difficult toward her as possible... I'd rather her carry on her business... I suppose it can't be helped... I can wait another time for him...-


She put dropped his hand and began walking toward a corner, making way for her


"Why don't you see for yourself... Skyia"


She gave Skyia a smile and a wink as she walked on by. Even though Kylier was sure Skyia never saw her before Kylier was well aware of who she was.
 
Emily stood up and picked up her small bag she left in the door of her room, she opened her bags and took out a book the student council gave her with the school rules. She started to read the rules, though she never followed them in the human schools she had to go to before. Her eyes opened wide when she saw the curefew. She began to read outloud hoping her reading was mistaken.


"Curefew starts at 11pm, if any student is outside after 11pm he or she would have to go to detention"?


Emily thought to herself, "Interesting things happen after midnight"


A smile grew on her face. "I can just go out without anyone noticing me anyway"


After she got that idea, she took her backpack and went out of her room closing the door behind her. Emily took a deep breath and started walking, she wanted to see the entire school and see every hiding place for that night,
 
Even as Anya pulled her into bed and held her close, Lily couldn't help but be concerned. Even after her little outburst, there were other problems that ran through her neural paths. Rose had taken care of that Mel, hadn't she? But if she had, surely she would have told Lily so that she wouldn't have to worry. They didn't fail, right?


Lily was worried, but she wouldn't disturb Anya. She had just had a big emotional moment, after all, and though Lily was loathe to admit it, so had she. She just didn't want to think. She would deal with everything in the morning, and if Rose had failed, she guessed that included serial killers.


But first she had to get to her own slumber area. She had to...


Had to...


---


Lily woke up slowly. There was something different from normal today, but she couldn't quite place it. She was still kind of booting up. Her eyes fluttered open, and she heard the birds chirping. Felt the sunlight pour in. Somehow, even though she knew that there were things to do in the back of her mind, she kind of felt good today.


She felt something warm next to her, and naturally put her arm around it and pulled it in closer. She turned to look at whatever was-


"Oh..."





Anya was laying there, happy as a clam. Lily quickly glanced around, and pieced together what had happened just as fast.


"Did I really... sleep like this?"





Lily looked back at Anya. When Rose was there, there was a lot more room. They had two whole beds pushed together, after all. Lily still wasn't used to getting this close, and her cheeks slowly filled with a light yellow hue.


"Anya? Um..."


Lily couldn't really think of anything to say.


"Uh... good morning?"
 
This honestly creeped her out a bit. How exactly did she know her name? But that wasn't really what she cared about right now. So she slithered further into the room, and saw Azure there. She felt a bit tense seeing him like this, but, he didn't look like he was harmed. Maybe he got the least of it? She could really hope in the end.


However, how he even got in here is a question on its own. So she just sat in that room for a short while, just to watch over him for a little bit. She turned his head seeing as she was gonna be in there for a short while towards the illusionist demon to ask a question. " Hey, umm... do you know what happened? "


---


Elsewhere a red haired boy looking particularly tired this morning, dragged his legs across the hall. Having his giant bodyguard walk in front of him to clear a bath, not really wanting to deal with anybody right now. Some business he was trying to attend to the previous day and night kept him up for quite a while, and he could feel the effects on him now. For now just put on a sorta smile and hopefully not have to deal with people today.


Jayus plowed through the crowding of the early morning students on their way to the cafeteria.
 
Kylier smirked toward Skyia....


"I suppose you could say that he had a run in with a serial killer along with others..... I haven't seen the others since then but I'm almost sure that they could tell you in greater detail than I, since I was not the one fighting in that skirmish..."


Kylier began making her way to the door...


"I have places to be... so I suppose I'll just leave him to you for now, Skyia..."


She walked out, leaving Skyia in the infirmary... cloaking herself in illusions when no one was around outside, and went back toward the entrance


-Or at least I'd like to... I need to move him before the mage decides to meddle with him.-


Azure turned a bit in bed a bit, and after a while, he woke up...


"Skyia...?"


He blinked a few times, as he woke up with a small yawn


"Skyia... what are you doing here?"





He looked around a bit, and found himself feeling surprisingly weak feeling


"Is this, the infirmary?"
 
"Good morning" Anya smiled, cradling Lily's head against her chest. She didn't know why, but she felt almost motherly for some reason.


"Are you feeling better now?" she asked.
 
Skyia's eyes widened upon hearing this. " S-serial killers? " But, wait, what does she mean by that? Did a couple of no good hoodlums come around by the school? Wait, why were they even close to the school? Shouldn't there be people watching around the school making sure this doesn't happen? All of this concerning Skyia, she was about to ask more questions about who else was she talking about. But she was gone before that could happen.


Oh well, she could try asking her next time she sees her then?


A while passed and Azure started to stir, Skyia raising her body up hearing him call up her name. She felt a bit of happiness that he could still talk and move around. " I- i heard a rumor there was a fight, and that a human with green hair was in the middle of it. I was a bit worried if it was you. So i came to check if it was you, and here i am now seeing you in here. " She answered to him.


" Uh... yea it is, I don't know what you did out there but it defiantly seems like it that it roughed you up enough to land yourself here. " replying to his second question. She was tempted to ask him about the serial killers, but, it might be best for him to just not think about it just after waking up.

Off in a corner of the library, a lone, and tall shape Shifter sat, up early this morning, looking outside a window that wasn't touched by someone oddly covering up a large sum around the building, garbed in all his usual clothing and mask. Giving a sigh, he was thinking about maybe taking the day off, if the higher ups would let him.


He just wanted some time to walk around really. Maybe think about things. Depends really, well, he could stay here a while longer, yea... that seems nice to do. But the tree he could see outside was also inviting to sit under. That might be a good place to move to.


He stood up and began to make his way over to the tree he saw from that window.
 
Stephanie has been in her room this whole time sleeping,waking up listening to music, sucking on lollipops -not really able to get any sleep in this new place. She sighs abit she climbed off her bed placing her bare feet in the cold ground and made her way to her window looking out she opened it taking a deep breath letting the crisp coolness if the air wash over her she almost smiled but that quickly disappeared and she shut her window once more with a loud slam.


Going back to the bed she grabed the iPod off in stuffed it into her pocket and grabbed a Cherry blow pop from her back popping it in her mouth. she slipped her black jordens on her feet as she left her room making sure it was closed before she began to walk about even though she knew the rules she didn't much care for them anyways.


" What a boreing place " she whispers to herself taking the sucker out her mouth and held it in her hand she then sighed slipping into the Shadows so that all could be seen was a hint of her pink hair but just slightly so if you saw it you wouldn't think of it.
 
Emily walked through the hallway looking for interesting places to continue exploring during the night, she could hear students talking about a fight that left a student wounded. She walked through the classrooms until she found the detention room, she heard you would suffer if you entered there. She saw the infirmary and some students who were inside " I wonder if that is the student who was wounded during the fight" Emily thought to herself. But that thought didn't stop her, she had to continue looking
 
Curtis sat down in the dining hall- hopefully there wouldn't be any shapeshifting wolves or passed-out students this time.


He tucked into his ham and eggs. Not as good as his mother's, but passable.


He continued eating.
 
Rasputin sauntered through the school's halls, basking in the "adoration" of students both new and old, who whispered to eachother and cast sideway glances at him, sometimes even pointing at him as he went by. The ones that had been at the academy for longer talked about the return of Old Ras, the monster assistant who came and went as he pleased, explosions following in his wake. The newer kids talked about how he had shown up in the forests yesterday and grievously injured both students and other faculty members during a fight. Rumors and hearsay mixed with old tales, each one more innacurate and fantastical than the last, and spread like wildfire through the nameless, faceless crowds.


Rasputin liked it. He felt it made people respect him as they should, for it was rare for a Master of the Arcane to allow himself to be bound to a single organization, even if it was a part-time affair. He would've disciplined some students for pointing at him but he had pressing matters to attend to. Namely, that boy from the previous day, who he figured was in the infirmary by this point. That student council girl had been quite rude, refusing his proposal to fly the boy into the castle himself, but she'd learn in time. They all did, rotten little bastards. As he ruminated these matters, he made his way to the infirmary, stopping when his special eyesight alerted him to that distatesful brand of magic known as illusionism.


"Spying on others is quite rude little girl, yes, quite rude. And you stick out like a sore thumb for anyone with more than a passing knowledge of the arcane. Have standards become so low in my absence you go by unseen like this?".
 
Richter opened the door to Rose's office, slouching inside and into a chair.


"This is getting ridiculous." he stated, pinching the bridge of his nose. "That's twice now. We really need to..."


He sighed. "We need to call in backup. Ask your father to send soldiers, contact the local authorities. I don't care. We need more people, competent people, if we want to get this done. I get torn up every time, and one of our own teachers attacked a student out of confusion. We look like idiots."
 
She didn't look toward Rasputin as he talked down at her


"I wouldn't consider such an act of mine to be to be rude when I am looking out for my little brother. If you can not see my actions has a protective one against any potential hostiles, then just as you say it is rude for you to call me out on this, it stands to reason for me to say the same."


She turned her head to him


"Regardless, I do believe that standards have only sunk as time passed by. The place my father spoke of, and this school do not exactly seem to match up. For better or for worse, this place has definitely changed. I know what it is you plan to do... and I would appreciate it if you were to leave it to me... since you are able to see past my magic, unless everyone else in the school besides one other student. From what I have learned, it isn't any sort of magic that lets him do such a thing as well... I believe that his ability is more innate than learned... but I digress"


She turned toward the mage


"Since I am effectively powerless against you... I can only ask that you will leave him to me. I believe I already know the answer, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to at least try to keep what is mine..."
 
Lerrus Reinhard

Room 315

Having gone relatively smoothly through from office inquiry to leading of his room, Lerrus walked to his dorm and inside without interruption.


Huh, I'd have thought someone would interrupt me with shenanigans, but oh well.





As he walked into his room, he noticed how barebone it was. A bed, a wardrobe and a desk. Booooooring.


This would be something he would remedy soon. For now though he put his bag down and noticed a large suitcase sent from his parents that had clothing and similar inside. At least they cared for him a little...


He noticed a few of his favourite paintings were inside. He had little personal belonging generally so they could actually fit in the suitcase.


Lerrus hung up the painting of a black rose above his bed and another more abstract one of a field of flowers and thorns.


The rest of the time after was spent arranging his clothing and books where he desired and fitting out his desk.


When he had done, Lerrus sat down onto his bed and sighed.


I guess its that time of the day.


He took a deep breath and breathed out, relaxing. He then almost cupped his hands together and concentrated. After a moment, a black sphere popped into existence inside his hands. It crackled and wobbled around slightly, as though trying to escape. Lerrus kept it in place though, trying to keep it controlled.


A bead of sweat ran down the side of his face. Lerrus attempted to mould the sphere into different things. He tried to squash it, almost like a disc, the squashed sphere crackling more under the pressure. Eventually it felt as though it was going to burst though, so he (more in gesture) brought his hands together and the sphere disappeared, having closed the Door.


Lerrus panted, his hands on his knees and bent down. Letting the Door loose was tiring for sure, but keeping it controlled was on another level. If he didn't want to cause wanton destruction and death, he needed to nail this control down. It was after all why he came here.


If he doesn't pay enough attention, that sphere may even eat him up. Not that he knew if it did, but it was a theory he really didn't want to test.


Lerrus let out a big breath and corrected his slightly ruffled hair and wiped down and straightened his clothing. He supposed at some point introducing himself to class may be a good idea. Not that he had any idea where to go, but he hoped for the best anyhow.
 
Emily checked the security sistems in the hallway. She figured that her plan to break the rules and go out during the night would be harder than she thought. She finally gave up and headed back to her room. " I still have a lot of things to do" Emily thought.


As she walked to her room, she could still hear the gossip from the students. She heard about a giant fight that took place in the school not so long ago. " I guess the school isn't as secure as I thought" with that being said, Emily smiled, she was anxious to know the school during the night.
 
"Nyohohoho, how heartwarming, looking out for your brother. Or protecting your property is it? Also understandable, but you should not forget who you're adressing. I do not take kindly to threats, but luckily for you, I am in a forgiving mood today. Whatever the case, you'd be best served protecting him in his presence instead of skulking around unseen like a sneak thief. It is undignified, yes, using the power of magic for such a crude application". Rasputin stroked his messy white beard, obviously quite happy with himself and the entire situation.


"You presume to know my plans? You believe I will use him as a mere lab rat, perhaps? Foolishness. As foolish as believing such abilities are anything but magical or that an innate ability cannot be learned, shaped and controlled. Where others see a piece of coal to fuel a furnace I see the potential diamond hidden underneath the soot. I can mold him into something glorious, yes, something that may approach my own power given time. I am Fioravante Bloyse Zirnitra Gwydion Megalesius Johanai de Prospero Rasputin von Elsimore, Master of the Arcane, and perhaps you too could benefit from some lessons".
 
"I assure you that I was doing just so before I decided to leave Azure to talk to a trusted friend of his. It is no concern of mine what goes on in his private life, and I can not say that I care in the least. If you see these course of actions as undignified, then so be it."


She looked back into the room for a moment before turning back to Rasputin


"I have already been attempting to mold him just as you claim you can the past few years... I doubt you will make much headway with him. Now that I think about it... I do recall you now however... my father often spoke praises about you... but I can not see why given your actions. It you seem comparable to a fool, rather than a sage."


She began walking off, she knew that there wasn't anymore she could really do at this point


"Because of that, I refuse what you are offering to me... now that you are seizing my project... you've left me with more free time than I'd care to have, and I would prefer not to spend that time on the likes of you."


She went off, stilled cloaked in her illusions, invisible to all but Rasputin.
 
Curtis finished his breakfast, carefully placing his plate and silverware on the counter- after all, the custodial staff had enough to do as-is.


He arose from the table, ready for his first class- of course, first he'd have to figure out where the class was.


He dug through his bag, retrieving a crumpled schedule from somewhere behind his books. He smoothed it out as he walked, checking over the day's courses. First class looked to be... Khan? It was a little smudged, but at least he could read the room number.


Curtis turned the corner as he replaced his bag, only to quite abruptly crash into someone he couldn't see. His arms wheeled as he lost is balance, barely catching himself just in time to avoid slamming face first into... no-one? His eyes and ears told him there wasn't anyone there, but the feet jabbing into his stomach told him otherwise.


"Is, uh, is anyone there?"

The sea shimmered before him. A lone tear dripped from his eye as Khan dreamed of surfing the waves, but alas, could not. Khan got on a small row boat. Resting between his knees was a large bin of dried coal tar. He rowed past the drop-off, then hefted the can over his head, tossing it into the ocean. It entered the water with a loud splash. Khan watched it sink for a good minute before rowing back. "Well that takes care of that" he sighed.


The next morning, Mr. Khan returned to Oriens Academy. He was in his normal attire, but smelled like the sea. It was night time, and Mr. Khan was tired- but alas, his role as a teacher did not end there. He had to teach, and so he had to go to his room to change. Before he could do so, however, he noticed another student wandering the halls, a new student- Emily. The teacher noticed her poking around the security systems. Mr. Khan approached slowly as she walked away. Before she could get too far, however, Mr. Khan alerted her.


"Excuse me miss!" he shouted "You look new here! Do you need help finding anything?"
 
Emily looked at the teacher and stopped looking at the security sistems. She knew she had to look weird playing with security systems but she never cared about what other people thought about her.


" No, I´m Ok" Emily answered, hoping the teacher could go away so she could just go to her room. She noticed other students walking in the hallway and started to search for escuses if she got caught. But that would be weird, after all, Emily was great at creating excuses to avoid trouble. She never lyied but when she did. She made the best lies ever.
 
"Mhmm...." Mr. Khan nodded. His tone was grim and his face looked stern and serious. "Okay" he smiled with gusto, before bouncing to his quarters. She seemed suspicious, but Mr. Khan had to look more into her before he could actually take action- otherwise, he'd have to be faced with the same problems he had when he punished Johnny without fully learning the circumstances.


Mr. Khan arrived back in his room. He quickly disrobed and walked into the bathroom, admiring himself in the mirror, flexing in all sorts of different ways. Ten minutes later, Mr. Khan entered the hallway again in a fresh change of clothes. He swaggered to his classroom, one hand in his pocket, the other on a briefcase containing lesson plans and worksheets.
 
Emily ran to her room, she didnt want anymore teachers to notice her and she didnt want all the teachers watching every move she did. When she entered her room, she cheked the clock she brought from home. She ran to the bathroom to get ready since she only had nine minutes to get to class. She brushed her hair and took a few books. She took her backpack and ran to her class. While running, she checked the name of the class and the teacher she was with. She got to the door 1 minute before the class started. She took deep breaths before entering the classroom. When she opened the door she realized her luck. Her teacher was Mr.Khan, the teacher who grew suspicious of her and her actions. She slowly walked to inside. "Well, I least I got here on time" Emily whispered.
 
Lily had become somehow more and less comfortable at the same time. Anya was acting odd. Well, more odd than usual. Maybe not more odd than usual, but a different kind of odd.


"OK," Lily announced, detaching Anya from her personage and getting out of bed, "I don't even know why you're asking that. I wasn't the one crying all night long, so like... are you feeling better now? That's what I want to know."


Lily began gathering her things for school that day. She had just remembered that she had a lot to do, and really needed to get started on it.


"I hope you are, because I'm very busy today with adult things that you can't come along to."


Somehow, Lily was feeling a little defensive this morning.
