Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

"Uh . . . " Rose wasn't quite sure what to make of this new woman, what relation she had to Richter or why she was looking for him. But she was looking for the vampire and that's what was important. "Mr. Richter doesn't have any classes to teach today either so I can't tell you where he is exactly. You could check his room if you want. It's in the basement. Or he could be wandering the halls. He could be anywhere actually. It'd probably be best to do like Azure says and try to pick up his trail from the student council office. Or maybe someone there has seen him."


~~~~~


Bunny froze for a moment as Lily commented on her scent. She smelled like a boy? It took a bit to realize what the alraune was talking about. It must've been from last night, though she did remember to shower this morning. Lily must've had keener senses than she had let on. Still, it didn't seem like she knew what she noticed.


"I . . . smell?" Her head tilted to the side as if trying to think. "Well, I sat with Shift today . . . or maybe it was from the fight last night. I did get Vash's blood on me. I hoped a shower would get rid of it but I guess not . . . Maybe I need new soap . . . "


Bunny needed to get away now. Lily didn't seem to be onto her, but she was picking up things that would not benefit the angel to be known. "I'm sorry, I guess I should go now. I'm really hungry and should probably go get something to eat. Besides, don't you two have classes now?"
 
Olga nodded with satisfaction, "You play the idiot well, gypsy boy; I was almost believing you for a minu-"


Olga froze as Rose spoke, as if noticing her for the first time.


"You.", Olga said, jabbing a finger at the girl as she finished, "I am knowing you. Why are you being here?"
 
Rose blinked as Olga's attention was suddenly focused on her. Why was this woman asking why she was there? She was the one who crashed into the room on some living intestine. Plus Rose was here first. It's this woman who should be questioned, not her. "I . . . go to school here . . . And my daddy owns the place? Why are you here? I didn't hear of any new staff members coming."
 
"Your father sends you to idiot public school? I see...", Olga squeezed a strange little nodule on the worm, which retched up a pile of bones in response.


"DRAGO!"


The pile of bones rattled and rose into place, forming an animate skeleton. Olga began to pace back and forth across the room.


"You are to be taking notes. Rumors are true; princess being sent to Oriens is not bald-faced lie, as first appeared. Appears to be unguarded, save for fellow child soldiers- likely being followed by SpecOps without knowledge. Most likely this is to cement princess' status as commander of fellow child soldiers, though may also be PR move, or attempt to create sympathy in proletariat. Note to self: Check Elven kingdoms for signs of class struggle."
 
"If you want something to eat, maybe I could think of something." Anya suggested. She leaned in close to the angel.


"The cafeteria has hamburger steaks" she whispered. "I think Lily really likes them."


She smiled, and spoke aloud again. "And then after we can get you a shower to wash that weird smell off!"
 
"..."


-So... does Rose know her then...? Ugh... This isn't really all that good... I really don't want to keep Riff waiting... if he thinks I'm simply leading him on over this issue... It's just going to make things more complicated... although...-


Azure looked over at Olga and Rose for a short while...


-... I don't think Rose is going to be getting out of this any time soon... I'd like her to come... but... she did come up with a plan to kill Mel. Now that I think about it... I don't think the head of a school would simply change just because a nobody like me is trying to make nice with everyone... I mean... If I were her... I'd probably try to do everything to protect this school and everyone in it... and not take risks...-


"Well... Rose... I don't really want to be a bother... since the situation here got a little..... bizarre..."


Azure made his way to the door of the classroom and opened it


"I'll go and find you later when you have some time to breath or something Rose... sorry for taking up your time..."


Azure left the room and closed the door to let Rose do what she'll need to... when he realized something important...


"Wait..... Riff said to go find him..... but... he didn't tell me where to find him..."


"Sounds like you have a need for me Azure..."


Kylier placed a hand on Azure's shoulder, which prompted him to freak out, and turn around away from him


"What is it?!"


"Now now Azure... what is it that you want with Riff"


"What does that even matter to you?"


"What matters to me is what you are doing... after all... now that you seem to be in a dead end..."


"..... And..."


Kylier chuckled a bit at Azure


"I want you to make it worthwhile to even help you"


"Kylier..... how do I know you won't go telling everyone or making trouble out of what I tell you...? Can't you help me then pay you back or something after?!"


"Oh... I'll see you to your words Azure... mark my words....."


Kylier grew a sinister grin on her face


"Room number 619... Is Riff's Room Azure... don't disappoint"


Kylier walked off... Leaving Azure to determine what to do for himself...


"........ I may as well try..."


Azure began heading off to his room, hoping that no one would interrupt his focus, knowing full well that that really wouldn't be likely anyway
 
"Oral history? What do you hold us for absolute primitives?! We began transition to an actual writing system a good decade before the Blartian Codex was produced. Which at that time elves weren't even elves but little more than tree dwelling savages content on running around stabbing their other proto-elf forebearers over glibgob berries and other nonsense." He than sat back down into his seat as he opened through the packet and began leafing over the various things he needed to read and answer.
 
Espinosa blinked as she opened up the palms to both of her hands, "I didn't mean Oral History as an insult!" She let out a sigh, as she glanced at the class, "Now then does everyone have a packet? Go through it at your own pace, and bring the finished homework assignments back next class." She glanced at the clock, as class proper would soon begin. She turned towards Rasputin "Discipline any late students. I fully trust your judgement in the matter." Espinosa glanced towards the class, "I will ask if anyone has any questions before we begin covering Pre-War Egypt, which was one of the oldest civilizations of humanity, ask them now."
 
Lily was pretty certain that this was a smell that couldn't be gotten by sitting next to someone, and was absolutely certain that it wasn't the remains of the scent of blood. Lily knew the scent of blood. She began considering what it might be, but was sidetracked by Bunny and Anya's dialogue. Lily turned her attention back to the two.


"Hm... well, whatever Anya suggested from the cafeteria is probably good. They offer a large variety of things there, but I'm still willing to bet that this eclectic child has tried most of them. As for soap, you could try the same brand I get for Anya."


Lily turned to Anya, smiling, and scratched the Neko behind the ears.


"It keeps her smelling good all day. Doesn't it, sweetheart?"


Lily then turned back to Bunny.


"That said, I'd just stay away from boys in general- regardless of smell. They're mostly bad. Anyways, Anya and I should probably get to class like you suggested."


Lily got up and grabbed Anya's hand.


"Wanna go to class together, Anya?"
 
Curtis raised his hand, "Uh, do these need signatures? Because my family is in-"


Oh geez don't say you're from Iowa think fast Curtis THINK FAST


"-I mean, uh, I have amnesia?"


NAILED IT


"I don't think I'll be able to get permission, is all."
 
Anya nodded, smiling, as she tugged Lily towards their class. If Anya recalled correctly, it was history with "Espinosa." Anya didn't know a lot about history, but her father told her stories sometimes about fighting foreigners and heathens, or when he fought an alligator.


Sometimes, she recalled, he'd tell her stories about her mother, like how he met her and stuff. That was nice, too.


Anya was pretty sure these stories counted as history.


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


Richter stopped the stopwatch, and took a mental note before going back inside the building. He felt he should do something about that weird premonition, but it was likely nothing.


He'd head to his classroom, and wait for the students to roll in.
 
Espinosa blinked at Curtis, "Amnesia? Well I don't want you to feel left out, I could possibly fill out forms later to have either Rasputin or myself to have temporary legal guardianship over you, at least for the trip. As these forms just need signatures from both you and your legal guardian to make sure you don't sue the school. Really they are just a formality. And, don't worry about it, also thanks for bringing it up! Does anyone else have issues concerning being able to get a legal guardian or parent to sign your field trip waiver?" She paused for a moment as she raised her right index finger, "Oh also I hope you recover your memories soon Curtis."

"Apology accepted" said Josue most graciously as he handed the woman back his packet and then promptly this waiver. "What's this about signatures?" he asked before receiving the waiver and the signing it away, "So I have accomplished the current work you have assigned for today, is there anything left to do or shall I take my leave now?"
 
"For your information, this is hardly some 'idiot public school' like you said. Could some 'idiot public school' fund a school trip to Egypt? And I asked to come here." Rose became angry as this woman tried to turn a simple fact into some sort of conspiracy theory in front of her face. Her father did not need to resort to such charades to gain the people's favor and how dare this person suggest otherwise. The woman hasn't even told Rose why she was here. She waved Azure off as the boy left, completely forgetting that he had mentioned Riff and Vash earlier. Instead, her attention was completely focused on Olga.


Rose straightened her back, lifting her chin up to gain as much an appearance of authority as she could muster. "I'll ask you again. Why are you here? Or should I report you for trespassing?"
 
Lily waved goodbye to Bunny as Anya began pulling her towards the classroom. For now, Lily decided that she would let Anya lead the way if she wanted.


Lily personally didn't care much about history. As far as she was concerned, she pretty much knew what she needed to know and who cares about what some idiots did in the past anyways?


Well, aside from very old Human media of course. Entertainment was the one thing that those apes did correctly, not that they'd be learning about anything actually fun.





Lily stumbled into class, Anya still leading her, and settled into a space. She hoped that this teacher wouldn't bore her.
 
Olga waved her had dismissively at the girl, "I am sure that your father is having wonderful personality. Sadly, such things are not enough to rule, da?"


She whistled out the window and the tapeworm slithered back out the window, the whale-thing letting out a great, bone-chilling moan as it rose into the clouds, waiting for when Olga would next signal it. She climbed back into the coffin-crab, its many-folded membrane structures shielding her from what weak rays of sun managed to penetrate the January sky.


"Now then, I am supposing you wish to report me, da? Are you needing name for tossing-out forms? Perhaps you must radio imaginary comrades for help?"
 
"..."


Azure looked down across the hall from the stairwell over toward where Riff's room... but noticed that the halls for this floor at least were currently empty... at least in this area...


-Why... why does this feel eerie... maybe... it feels like no one else may have done thing before... and I'm going off the beaten path...-


Azure shook himself out of his state of mind and went over to the door across the way, and placed himself right in front of it...


-Maybe it's better I came alone... they'd probably just stop me... or attack... just like at the fight... I guess there is no choice...-


Azure waited for a bit, thinking a few things over...


-For god's sake Azure...-


Kylier abruptly went around him and knocked on the door a few times


"...!"


Kylier using her illusions then began talking in Azure's voice


"Riff... its me... Azure..."





Afterword, she moved away a bit to let Azure handle things from here. Azure looked at her in a panic, but composed himself quickly before the door opened
 
Lerrus was sat on a bench somewhere lollygagging.


From a mixture of possibly not having actual lessons or just having no clue what his schedule is, until it was magic class he had nothing to do.


Lerrus twirled in his hand a rose he picked, playing with it. It was something he often he did in his spare time.


He even had somewhere a plastic rose with a note next to it that wrote:


Here is a flower that is everlasting, like our love.


Nancy


She was a nice girl, but as could be seen was also very poor and she was later sold off as a slave.


It had got him thinking on what he should do next here in the academy. Assuming he doesn't spur too much shit up in magic class,there isn't really anything going on with him. Should he try to make friends with all these new people? Or should he first wait to use magic in lesson and see if people's opinion of him changes?


Lerrus sighed and looked out of a window as he waited for the class. Whenever that is. He must remember to get a timetable of some form from someone so he stops wandering around cluelessly.
 
Bunny gave a small smile as Anya whispered her lunch recommendation. "I've had it before Anya. It really is good, isn't it? I guess I'll have that then. Thank you." She waved as the two left, keeping the smile on her face as she slowly made her way down the hall. She didn't want to risk alerting someone by rushing down the hall. She did however veer from her announced route, making a turn for her dorm room instead of the cafeteria. She was in no condition to meet with people if they were all as sensitive as Lily was. No, she needed a thorough scrub down.


~~~~~


"Well, he's been doing fine the past 200 or so years," Rose said, hands on her hips. She watched as Olga went back into her . . . whatever that thing was, perhaps getting ready to leave. Olga was right though. Rose typically would need a name, except . . . Taking out her phone, the half-elf snapped a picture of the vampire. If Richter knew her, he could give Rose the woman's name. Knowing that getting angry won't get her anywhere with this woman, thaat plus having her picture, Rose took a deep breath in an attempt to calm down.


"Ma'am, you do realize I've been here for years, right? And that I know the ins and outs of this place like the back of my hand. I can help you find Richter a lot more easily than you could on your own. I can even call him here to you. However, I would need to know your intentions first."


~~~~~


Riff opened the door, looking down at Azure with a surprised look on his face. "Huh. You actually came . . . Didn't really expect this . . . " Riff had originally thought Azure's intentions to be shallow. He still somewhat did. But he supposed it couldn't hurt to let him try to apologize to Mel. It'd be entertaining at least. "Well, come in, I guess."


He motioned inside and walked in as well, taking a seat on the bed. His room was rather plain. Nothing hung on the walls. The bare minimum amount of furniture present. The only things that stood out were a small toaster oven and a portable stove top. Riff pointed to a chair next to the desk. "You can sit there."


"So, I had a dog mascot costume waiting int he closet on the off chance you'd come. Only rented it a few hours because, like I said, I didn't really expect you to come. Shame you came alone though. Would've been funny to see a conga line of mascots with sparklers. Let me ask you again, are you really intent on doing this?"
 
Olga suppressed a chuckle as the girl attempted to order her around. It was adorable, like those little yappy dogs her cousin so loved.


"Yes, 200 years- and tell me, small one: How many of those years has he truly ruled? How many years has he left things in hands of court to go and spend people's money on pointless extravagance, like trip to Egypt? Who, I wonder, controls country?"


Olga leaned forward in her seat.


"Yes, I am beginning to understand why you have stayed at school many years. You have inherit much from father."


She tsked and shook her head.


"Inbreeding is such tragedy. All the same, I am to be finding my way about school just fine, thanking you very much. Drago!"


"-.-- . ... / -- .. ... - .-. . ... ... ..--.."


"We ride."


And with that, the coffin crab (now more of a litter than a coffin, really) shuffled out the door, carrying Olga with it, with Drago following close behind.

Espinosa blinked at Josue, "I will have to check this, and the waivers are for the field trip. Can you obtain a signature from your legal guardian, or parent? As I said earlier, it's really more of a formality. And there is still lecture for class, which should start..." Espinosa paused as she noticed a few more students get in just the nick of time, "There are packets up near the chalkboard which cover general aspects of the course, and contain various homework assignments. And up at my desk are the Field Trip Waivers." She glanced at the clock confirming that it was time, "Alright class, grab your pencils and notebooks, class has started." She went up to the chalk-board, and pulled down a map over the chalk-board showing a map of Egypt.


"Now then, we shall learn of the History of Egypt, which was one of the oldest human societies, which is also where we shall be taking our field trip to the Valley of Kings...! And as we are discussing the Valley of Kings, which was used in the 16th to the 11th centuries B.C.E, the burial site of the Egyptian Pharaohs and other nobles, we shall start from Pharaoh who unified the Upper and Lower Kingdoms of Egypt, the Pharaoh Narmer."
 
Mr. Khan walked calmly back to his room going the opposite direction of the sea of students so as to avoid getting caught in the current. Finally back, he closed the curtain, unbuttoned his shirt, then threw himself on the bed. Staring blankly at the ceiling, Aschar Khan sighed somberly, then hummed some sad song.


"That feel when no girlfriend" he rolled off the bed. Getting into his underwear, Aschar opened a compartment in his desk and pulled out a laptop.
 
Azure came in and sat down, looking at the dog, suit, and after a while, came over to examine it over...


"This is..... it...? Just the dog suit...? No hidden traps... or anything...?"


He looked at Riff with a surprised look...


"And just three hours, that's it?"


Azure slipped himself into the suit like it was nothing, with an incredibly trained expertise


"... this feels weird, there's nothing odd or anything in the suit... its just the suit itself..."


He looked over at Riff


"I don't mean to be rude, and don't take this the wrong way... but I'm kinda used to a whole lot more than just this, not that I'm complaining"


"..."


-How plain... its almost infuriating... its just the suit and nothing more...-
 

Elaem




​



Elaem walked along the hallls absoulutely no idea where to be, since pretty much all his classes except the electives, like unarmed fighting class, are advanced that means his schedule is pretty much all over the place. He sighed, giving up and waiting for this class period to end for him to hopefully find his next one.


He remembered the benches he had sat on when it was his first day in the school, pretty peaceful area. He decided to walk there but then he saw Leerus there. His look suddenly changed from one of a happy attitude to a completely "my life is such a drag" one


--So this guy is sitting here too... I was hoping for some peace and quiet, but I guess this'll do... There is another bench I can sit in... Sadly it's across from his damn bench...--


Elaem sat on the other bench and pulled out one of his textbooks and began reading his advanced science book, trying to avoid any type of contact with the guy to be honest. But Elaem's wound suddenly opened and he gave off a pained look as he held it.


"Tch...."


Elaem had realized he had forgotten to go to the nurse, and when he fought in class his injury must have opened slightly, his sleeve had tinted red slightly, becoming even darker than what it already was. He cursed under his breath and sighed, he would try to ask someone to find the infirmary.


@PicaPirate
 
Rose fought the urge to scream as Olga left. How dare the nerve of that woman. Did she not know she was in the Elven kingdom? Did she not know the concept of respect? One way or another, she was at least going to get that woman to pay for the damages to the classroom. The school shouldn't pay for such delibrate reckless behavior if it wasn't the work of a student or staff. Walking out, she took out her phone. The picture was fairly clear. She'd have to talk to Richter later, but now she was late for class.


She ran to her history class, but still skid in a few minutes after the bell. "I'm sorry, Miss Espinosa. I was trying to deal with a trespasser. The woman managed to destroy a wall of one of the classrooms." She quickly slid into an empty seat and pulled out a notebook. Her eyes noticed Rasputin, making her body tense, though she soon returned her attention to Miss Espinosa. It was classtime. She would have to wait for later to confront him.


~~~~~


"Yes, it's just a dog suit. Are you not satisfied? I can find you some fire ants if you wish. Maybe a rabid raccoon? And it'll just be a few minutes. I just have the suit rented for a few hours since I didn't know when we'd be doing this."


Riff turned away from Azure to pull up a video of a middle-aged Korean man dancing somewhat similar to a horse. "You'll be dancing this. Gangname Style. Apparently it was rather popular when humans still ruled the world. Can't imagine why. Anyway, you should bark the words. Mel really likes dogs, so if you act like one, it'll put her in a good mood." He also tossed the boy a large pair of sparklers, looking more like torches. "You should also be waving these around whenever you can."


"And finally . . . " He took out an index card, giving it to doggy Azure. "You're going to have to read this . . . You better be willing to give up any shred of pride you had, because that's what it takes for Mel to forgive someone."


The card read:


I would just like to let everyone know that I suck. And that I'm a girl. And I like ribbons in my hair. And I want to kiss all the boys.
