Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

"Aww..." Anya moaned, sitting up. "It's too comfy. We should do that more often."


She pondered for a moment.... "I choose.... Dare."
 
An evil smile crept up on Lily's face as her room mate picked to do a dare. Oh, what a dare it would be. Anything she wanted- Anya would have to do it or forfeit the game.


"Let's see," muttered Lily, arms crossed in thought, "I dare you..."


She thought for a couple more seconds, and then snapped.


"Got it. I dare you to compose one of those poems for me- the ones where you take each letter of a person's name and say what that letter stands for. You only have to do 'LILY', but it should be good. And you have to read it out loud for everybody."
 
Anya's eyes narrowed intently as she stared at Lily. "You're on."


The cat wasted no time as she grabbed a pen and paper, and scribbled furiously for several minutes. "Done." she declared, and held the finished piece up.


She cleared her throat, and spoke. "L is for Loving, which is why you're so sweet.


I is for Intelligent, so you know all things neat


L is for Loyal; you're there to the end


And Y is for Y are you so perfect, my best friend?"
 
At the card table Bobby Ohio grimmaced "Oooh... Doc that last line may hurt her chances of successfully completing that dare. Do you think the judge will allow for the letter representing the word? Will we get another Sergei Petrov moment in this game?"





Robin meanwhile was busy handing over a few small winnings to others from the previous bet, and selling various merchandise.
 
"Contestant Darlingtonia challenges contestant Hawthorne! Contestant Hawthorne chooses dare!" and so on and so forth. Yep, Reggie thought, it was gonna be a pretty boring job. Monotonous and mechanical until someone lied, they could put a mindless drone in his position and it'd do the exact same thing. He kind of regretted signing up for this. "I'll allow it! Dare complete!" he announced, going through the gestures mechanically.
 
Doctor wiped his forehead with a washcloth and downed a glass of water before responding, "Well, Bobby, if he is, better for our contestants that it happens early in the match! I think we both know what happens when it comes late in the match- Petrov still hasn't recovered from his loss against Deep Orange- Oh! Looks like it's gone through, Bobby! Looks like this judge is a bit more lenient than the one in Leningrad! What do you think this could mean for the scoring?"
 
"I hope you liked it" Anya said with a smile, putting down the poem. "But now it's my turn. That was just a warm-up."


"....Bunny!" she called. "Truth? Or dare?"
 
Bobby paused for a moment, "Oh we know what happens when it comes la- OH HE DID ALLOW IT! BY GEORGE HE ALLOWED IT. Well the judge has only made a few calls, he may be allowing for an 'easier' later game so that the contestants have more energy to go wild and dangerous in the late game. These two contestants... Well, we'll learn more about if this play style stays the same. And now it appears Contestant Hawthorne has moved onto to the Contestant 'Bunny'. Will Anya keep the same strategy going I wonder?"
 
"Well, all the parts should work together just right, I checked them over earlier. It just needs is..."


Azure went through his backpack


"This crook handle. It just needs to fit over the piping is all, but it'll be more than just that. It'd be bad if the handle could freely come off, so that's why we're gonna use this paste."


Azure put the cream onto the inside of the crook handle then forced the handle's elastic material over the one end of the pipe.


"Right, this is a heavy duty glue, industrial even, once it sets it'll take someone like Curtis to break it off. Probably not someone as strong as him, but he comes to mind."


Azure put the bottle away


"Alright then, its more or less finished, just gotta insert the one thing. It's made so that you can slide it off and on easily if you needed to clean it or something, I wouldn't know why it was made that way, but its useful for our case."


Azure took the end that had the frame and sheeting, and slid it into the pipe that had the handle. Once it went as far as it was going to go, a little button popped out of the pole. The parasol closed onto the pipe as it went down it


"Looks like it works, and the strap that keeps it wound up work as normal."


Azure wrapped the velcro strap around it, and just like that, it was done.


"There, a parasol that's on the big side, but still lightweight. Just press the button until it starts sliding, and let go of it, so it can catch on the part that fastens it while it's fully stretched out. If you keep holding it past that, it'll come off again. You wanna see it for a sec?"


Azure held out the parasol to Skyia
 
Lily grinned and blushed the whole time Anya recited her poem, holding her cheeks in what appeared to be an effort to contain her enthusiasm. When Anya finished the recitation, she couldn't help but let out a quiet squeal of affection.


"Oh, I loved it Anya," Lily replied as the Neko designated her new target. She looked in Bunny's direction in anticipation, happy that she didn't have to do anything much more embarrassing than that.


"Head in the game. Just make it through this without having to do or say anything too humiliating, and I get my **** merch. And the money. For Anya's college probably."
 
Skyia reached out to grab the parasol, pressing the button. " Like this? " she asked, as she grabbed onto the top of the fabric pulling it outwards letting it slide, where she would let go of the button and it would hook on inside, the fabric still wrapped up by the velcro strap. " So it works like this? " She asked once more, not entirely sure if shes opening this huge parasol right.


In the background Victor just leaned back and spoke to himself. " A parasol huh? " Getting up and wrapping around the more complete looking rifle now over his shoulder with a sling he just wrapped around temporarily. " Somewhat boring, but can come in handy I guess tomorrow, maybe, if the winds aren't blowing too hard. " Scratching the end of his chin. Just leaning onto Jayus while those two were doing their thing.


(( Little scatterbrained with this post, sorry if its a bit all over. ))
 
Azure looked at her try to figure out how to use it


"Here, let me help you with that."


Azure retracted it back down while it was still in her hands, and undid the velcro strap.


"There, now try"
 
Robin began tapping his foot as he was doling out more merchandise, and taking in more currency. He glanced towards Curtis, "How is it on your end?" Robin flicked through various paper currencies, as he handed over a t-shirt to another student. "Enjoy the merchandise!" He waved at the various people assembled, "Don't be shy, bet some more, and buy some more merchandise!" People gathered around the table where Robin was working at, and handing over a variety of currencies, as he nodded his head at them, and smiled at them. He glanced towards Reggie, "Oh yeah, after this, if you still need to find your room, I'll show you around."
 
Vash reluctantly dropped a few silver coins into the doorman's hand before taking his seat. The show better be worth it. That was like half of his snack budget for the rest of the night. Well, at least he had pockets full of chocolate and candy to hold him over for the match. Well, if it wasn't too long. He watched as the game started, not really impressed with th first two dares of the game. Just a lap pillow and a poem. What boring dares. Well, there was still plenty of time left. Maybe it would get more fun later on.


~~~~~


For quite a while now, Bunny had been preoccupied with something otheer than the game. Mainly Mel and how to get rid of her for good this time. Without her dead, there was no way she would be able to return to heaven. She could . . . no. That wouldn't work. But what about . . . no. Not that either.


Still lost in thought, Anya surprised her. Her face flushed a bit as she remembered where she was and what she was doing. "O-oh . . . um . . . truth, I guess."


~~~~~


In her room, Mel was at her desk, tinkering with Riff's gun blades. Odd. There didn't seem anything wrong with them. The magic seals were in tact and the firing mechanisms seemed to be in working order, though they needed a bit of oil. Still, Mel could find no reason why they would stop working like Riff had said. But he would never lie to her either. Still, maybe . . .


Suddenly, Mel took one of the blades and through it at her door, watching it plunge into the wood. Huh . . . There was nothing there. Of course, she had missed her intended mark by approximately 6 inches but still, there had to have been something there. She had felt an incredible urge to attack something in that direction after all.


Getting out of her seat, she approached her door to retrieve the blade and check to make sure nothing was there. Strange. She couldn't see anything but still felt agitated. Maybe she was getting dull.
 
"I'm just- hold on a tic.", He handed the the boy's money back to him, "Vash, is it? Friend of yours already payed, you're over in the D.A. box, with Jeff-", he pointed to the box with the fancy couches and the minibar, where the boy from earlier sat. Curtis adjusted his sunglasses and glared at the boy already in the box. Man, what was his deal? "-Anyways, yeah, you're seated over there."


"-But yeah, I'm just happy to be here, Robin. Nothing quite like some Truth or Dare. Thinking after this we should go down to the Gnome or somethin, you game?"

Josue who had been watching the game with complete disinterest. Had switched his view to the crowd and the people entering and then he sent a message to Curtis' phone. He wrote: don't forget to tell them to stick after the game for a raffle also show the next guy the VIP too. Also same with the other guy behind that guy too. Having sent that message to Curtis he also told the announcers to give a plug to Grizzlebees for their catering service.
 
Robin was flipping through amounts of paper currency, as he turned back to Curtis, "Yeah, I'm up for that. After I count up all of the profit. And of course, split out the sweet profit gained from this venture." Robin grinned, "Ah! I just organized this on the fly! And there will be much profit, derived from this. It is like a glorious painting, as the master craftsman took a look upon the work he had just finished. Yes, the money is most sweet." Robin began going through a few coins, as he handed over another piece of merchandise to a student.

Vash's face lit up as Curtis gave him his money back. Partly because he wouldn't have to part with his midnight snack binge and partly because . . . "I have friends?!" Not only that but a friend who paid for him? Who cared enough to not want him to starve in the middle of the night? Oh, what's-his-face was so nice, Vash felt like crying. He does care. Whoever this guy was. As Curtis pointed out his seat, Vash ran into the crowd, shouting, "Who the Hell is Jeff?!"
 
Robin peered at Vash curiously. "Jeff is currently in the luxurious seating, and he would be most happy if you could enter and sit down, at that seating. I am sure he would enjoy talking to you. You can make other friends while you are there, along with watching the game, and enjoying some complimentary treats in the mini-fridge."
 
Curtis pulled out his cellphone, a salvaged pre-war one of Finnish make that his mother had given him so he could call home. He read Josue's message and, because Curtis was the bouncer, and thus also filling the role of the doorman, it was a simple matter to send the next two guys off to the D.A. box.


"Here you go, kid." Curtis said as he left the line for a moment to grab Vash by the head and placed him down next to the D.A. box.

Kylier grinned... she was uncertain how she may have detected her


-Hmm... her animosity towards me must be so great, that the feeling of my presence must of become instinct to her... perhaps what Azure said about feeling me being around isn't some sort of superstition after all. I suppose I did make the right call, assuming that she would be awake. It would of been a waste of energy to fetch measuring tape. This... this one I will have to take care around, I've already earned my way onto her bad side as planned, but she'll not simply let me go given the chance I believe...-



Kylier distorted her voice her so slightly, it sounded as if she was speaking by some ethereal means, and not from where Kylier is standing exactly, her voice fills the room rather than coming from a source.


"I didn't think you'd detect my psychic energy reaching out to you Mel, why, if I came to you in person, perhaps things could have ended badly for me."


Kylier giggled, certain that she would find her laughter obnoxious


"Still, I hardly believe you are in a position to do something that could invoke any sort of harm on me, why, if your knife had cut into me, who knows if I would be able to suppress any loud screams, I certainly wouldn't want to draw a large crowd here, considering that people still believe that you are still deceased, well, besides a couple individuals. If it wasn't for them, I might not have of learned of your graceful return from a supposed death. Surely you understand yes?"
 
"Truth? Okay. Hmmm...." Anya thought hard this time, before finally asking. "Why were you kissing that one person in the hall? I thought kissing boys was supposed to be gross."

Shift nodded his head. " I-I suppose, It seems l-like its not a common thing for shapeshifters, s-so it makes me a little s-special in that regard. " He said holding his arms out to his sides, and his little extra bit of fabric somehow hanging behind him, would twitch a little with his expressions.
" O-oh, u-umm... i think ive been here f-for.... Seven... S-seven years! " He said, recollecting some of the memories of him having to go outside to take a shower, diving into the lake and turning into a octopus or a trash can whenever someone rounded the corner, and would attempt to clean himself like that. Or the one day he waddled into the public showers in a complete diving outfit. Huh... odd memories those were.
"Woah, I've only been here for 2 days and this place is already a bit overwhelming..."


He went to the counter quickly and checked out the book, he seemed interested in it for the most part.


"Well do you wanna go talk outside? Seems like people are getting a bit mad-!"


A loud SHHHHHHH! Came from students once again.
 
Skyia pressed onto the button again and this time the parasol extended and opened up into its large shape. " Oh! " she said to herself. " Man it actually feels kinda light. I wouldn't think that seeing how big it is, almost weighs nothing. " she trails off, somewhat forgetting that shes a beastwoman with the heightened strength that comes along with it.


( basically i dunno how heavy it is for others. )


" I think shes gonna like it Azure. " She says twirling it around in the air with little trouble.


" If there isn't a gust of wind. " Victor tried to bump in, but the two seemed to be thoroughly ignoring him in the meantime. " Otherwise some mary poppins thing happens or something like that. "


---


Shift nodded. " Y-you get used to it heh. "


Shift followed Elaem a bit, following him over to the counter and would check out his own books, before he would ask him if he wanted to talk outside, Shiftious hesitated for a bit, but wound up stuttering a " S-sure! " before getting cut off by the loud Shhsing around.


Walking outside, Shift stood outside, standing tall holding a couple of books under his arm. " S-so what book did you g-get? " He asked curiously, bending his body over to look.


@Cressy @Advent Azure
 
"..."


-She's far to massive to be blown away by the winds right? Deserts winds are usually most common during the shift from day to night... but... ugh. She'll probably fine, I could just warn her about how the wind could be a problem I guess-



"Well, it'll be fine, for the person its going to..."



Azure turned toward Skyia


"You can hold onto it for the time being if you want to play with it still, but just remember that its a thing for Lily. Anyway, lets get going, I know the way to Lily's room"


Azure turned down the hall, and headed toward Lily's place, only to see some sort of commotion going on... at it


"...? Hey Skyia..... what do you think all that is about?"
