Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

Curtis looked down at the snake girl and the kid from earlier, "'Sup. Whatsyerface, crazy guy who tried to kill my roommate, big man says you go to the D.A. box. Girl's in regular seating- you know it's bad luck to have one of those open indoors, right?", he said as he gestured to the parasol, "Anyway, 14 Quatloos- or an equivalent value as established by the Mordor Exchange- for the pair of ya."


Normally it'd be 2 a head, and for the girl it was, but orders were orders, after all.

Skyia tilted her head seeing the rather large amount of traffic going on in that room. " Er... some sort of party? " she attempted to answer Azure.


Then Curtis said something about it being bad luck to open up the parasol indoors. " Its bad luck?! " she said quickly closing it up and holding it to her side. " Didn't know that, thank you! " Then he asked them 14 from them, probably to go in. Some weird party, or is it a club?


" Just give me one moment. " she said passing the parasol into one of her hands and gave a swift and quick backhand slap across Azure's face. " I thought you were just going to do a fight, not try to KILL someone Azure. " she directed in a scolding tone at him, before turning back towards Curtis with a smile. " So what exactly is going on here? " she asked pointing inside.
 
"Only the finest Competitive Truth or Dare competition this side of New Mexico, miss. Wonderful sport, really- shame the tourneys are usually scheduled in the summer months. D.A. box would be, uh-", he turned and waved at the fancy-looking box seat where Vash was yelling about something, "-that. Can't say I understand why you're on the list, kid, but you are. Anything else I can help you two with?"
 
-It's bad luck?-


Azure was wondering why that would be considered bad luck when he surprise attacked when Skyia backhanded him. He wasn't prepared for it, and got reeled back a bit.


"Ugh... I wasn't going to kill anyone! The fight wasn't even one that allowed for deaths, I don't remember saying that, but if I did, it was used as an expression! I didn't mean anything bad..."


-Ugh... now everyone's gonna hate me for doing things...-


Azure rubbed the check that Skyia had slapped for a couple seconds...


-Somehow... this feels like it hurts more than what Curtis could of done to me...-


This small event made Azure feel bad over the things he did today...


"Since we are going to be apart, do you mind if I can get back the parasol?"
 
Skyia shook her head towards Curtis. " No thanks, that's all thank you. "


Turning her head over towards Azure. " We'll talk about this later alright? " she directed at him in a frustrated tone. " Just, right now don't worry about that, alright? " she said handing 28 to Curtis. " I'll pay for him. " She said, looking up at Curtis.


Turning back towards Azure. " Sure. " she said holding out the parasol to him. " Just make sure to have fun, We can talk about things afterwards. " Turning back towards Curtis and would wait for him to move and let them in.
 
Curtis gave half the money back, placing the other half in a nearby strongbox. "That's 14 for the two of you, not per head, miss.", he stood aside, "Have a nice day- the both of you."
 
" Sorry, just a little frazzled in the head heh. " she said rubbing the back of her head. " Thank you, and you too. " she said slithering in exploring around inside, seeing the odd tardis effect going on, man magic was handy.
 
Robin counted more money at his stand, as he continued taking bets, and selling merchandise. "There is still plenty of bets to be made! Come on and take a lucky wager of chance, or if betting is not your style, buy some merchandise to celebrate this OFFICIAL match of Truth or Dare! Do not miss this pristine opportunity to buy these fantastic products." Robin pointed at Skyia, "You there miss, may I interest you in taking a wager on the game? Or perhaps just some merchandise?"
 
"....."


-There's going to be beatings later... with my name on them from one person or another..... probably...-


"Thanks Skyia... and alright....."


-Ugh... I really hope I can just forget about this... maybe she'll forget and it'll be like it never happened...-


Azure took the parasol after she handed it to him


"Alright..."


-How could Lily be alright with everyone watching her anyway, let alone playing something as scandalous inducing as Truth or Dare?!-


Azure's experiences before coming to Orien's may have left his perception of the game a bit skewed... He made his way into the D.A. Box, and didn't think he saw anyone he knew. He did see Vash though... he wasn't sure exactly what he was doing though. He sat down in his seat not to far from him.


-Somehow, he just sticks out...-


Azure looked down at the 4 players in there as well


"Rose... and Bunny?! They're in the game also!?"


-This... I don't understand... how did this all happen in the first place?!-
 
Skyia shook her head. " Sorry, I don't gamble, but id like to see what your selling! " She said slithering up to Robin, looking at the various products around. " How did you get this all in here so quickly? " she asked, still looking around at the products. " I bunk a few rooms away and this wasn't like this before. " coiling her tail into a single mass not to trip anyone walking by.


" Unless its the whole business no tell how we do things thing, which I can respect. Particular practices that you don't want others using and all that. "
 
Robin smiled at Skyia, "Well regarding this, I will say it was a stroke of serendipity. And I am glad you can respect not wanting to pry too far into other's business techniques. As for merchandise, well I can provide all sorts of options" Robin began going through the merchandise, pulling out various objects ranging from T-shirts, some which had the face of the contestants, others that were just Official Truth or Dare, from drinking cups, to action figures, and other such things. "If you are hungry or thirsty, we have main catering provided by Grizzlebees. They provided a fine selection of options. But now then, what sort of merchandise are you looking for? Are you looking for more clothing based? Collectibles? I will help you find whatever kind of item you are looking for. After all, this is quite the occasion, an Official Truth or Dare game at Oriens. I would recommend getting something to cherish the moment."

Vash started to panic as Curtis picked him up, flailing his arms around and screaming, "No means no! I need an adult!!!" Well, that was until the behemoth placed him by the D.A. box and Robin said something about complimentary treats. His ears perked up at the mention of free food. His eyes lighting up like Christmas. "Wow. That's really nice of you," he said, bearing a large toothy grin. "Thanks." And with that done, he ran straight for the minibar, no longer paying much attention to the game.


Arms filled with one of everything he could find at the minibar, Vash plopped himself down on a seat. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a familiar mass of green hair. Azure. "Hi Azure!" he said, waving at the boy. Then, making sure to remember his food, he moved to the seat next to Azure's. "So did you give Pedo Kiki her knives yet? Because I think I need to tell Mel if you did or not."


~~~~~


Bunny froze a bit at the question she had to answer. She hadn't really expected Anya to remember the incident with all this game excitment. Still, she should've known it wouldn't go away so easily. Luckily, it was nothing to incriminating, so she really had no reason to lie.


"He's a boy from the same club as me. He saved me when I was in trouble earlier and so I gave him a kiss, like how a princess gives a kiss to a knight when he saves her. And kissing isn't gross. Especially if it's someone you really like."


Well, it was true. She had left out the part about Mel but that really wasn't part of the question. Plus, Lily had made it apparent that she didn't want Anya dragged into the whole Mel thing so it wouldn't hurt.


~~~~~


Mel frowned as she heard Kylier's voice. She didn't exactly believe the demon girl's story of pyschic energy. The cotton candy ***** must've been somewhat close to get a reaction out of Mel after all. Maybe in an adjacent room or in the hall? Riff had also told her about the girl's powers as well, but whether or not she had others, Mel didn't know. So for now, she'd just go with it.


"Are you resorting to peeping now? You're a bigger pervert than Vash said." She went back to her desk, listening to Kylier go on more about screams, crowds, sounding like she was threatening Mel. If what Kylier said was true, and Mel really couldn't hurt the demon currently, than there was no point getting angry at the girl.


"Well, I'm not much of a screamer, so who knows. Besides, it's not like me being alive is supposed to be a secret. Tell the whole world if you want. They'll find out soon enough I guess. Did you get the knives?"
 
Reggie didn't know whether to feel annoyed or not. His hand unconsciously descended to his sword's hilt, not exactly as a threatening gesture since he didn't even grasp it, it was just something he did often without realizing. "Ya know, you don't exactly need a judge to see you're holding back. What did he save you from? You can choose not to answer at the cost of a penalty: Contestant Hawthorne'll get her turn again and can Truth or Dare you once more, unless she decides to hand the turn to someone else. Are the terms clear?". It was uncommon, especially in the pro circuit, but not unheard of for a player to let someone else take their turn.
 
"Oh, hey."


Azure waved back at him surprised at him talking to him


-Guess he really wanted to sit by me-


"I haven't had the chance to get her to actually take them... so I'm still working on that... but I know where I can find her, so you can consider it done."


-Man... Pedo Kiki really does fit her as a title... sorta...-


"Don't worry though, I'll make sure she gets them."


-I guess he doesn't care about what happened...-


Azure looked at Bunny, hearing her shocking statement


"Wait what...? Bunny kissed a guy? Wait... she was attacked?"


-Well... Kylier did say that she's not as young as she looks... but still... she looks to young to be doing this kinda thing despite her age... only perverts would kiss someone who looks like a child........-


~~~~~


"So even you consider what I'm doing to be peeping? I guess if people want to consider what I'm doing is that, then I suppose I was peeping on you. A pervert though, I certainly was only going watch you do whatever as usual. It's not a problem if I leave you be, while I 'watch you' and do nothing more is it?"


Kylier chuckled a bit.


-I suppose that means she'll be watching herself in her sleep while I'm around... Perhaps I won't be able to go posting her 3 sizes once I figure them out... at least not without a fight... but its not worth it in the long run regardless of who wins or loses. I only wonder how Mel and her followers would react. If Vash was indeed a pervert, maybe he could even confirm it.-


"I don't think that would be very fun though, telling the world that the girl they would want to put an end to is within this school. I'd rather let that front progress as naturally as it could"


-Knives... is she referring to the fight I used them in...-


"I have gotten the weapons back though, I was surprised to see them come back to me. Your generosity lags behind your title you know."
 
Skyia nods. " It probably won't happen to often, so gotta make sure to enjoy it a lot! "


Skyia thought for a bit of what kind of little thing she could get herself. " What do you have in collectibles? " she asked, tugging a little onto her pack's strap, looking around what they have. " Or do you have any little keychains? Or any little trinkets? "
 
Robin smiled at Skyia as he extended out his palms, "A fan of collectibles, key-chains and other little stuff huh? Oh I have plenty that I think you will adore." Robin peered at Skyia for a moment, before he rubbed his chin with his right hand, "What kind of price range are you looking to spend in? Are you looking for something with a lower price tag, or do you not mind spending in the larger price range?"
 
Skyia nodded. " Just mainly what I can find, I have a feeling id want the smaller stuff here~ " she said towards the personshifter.


" Anything that's priced cheaper, Don't have the money just yet to buy just anything here, need to find a job to earn a little money eheh... " she said straightening her shoulder, with a small rise of her tail.


Somewhat pondered if there was any new positions in the elf cup right now, she would need to check on that after the trip.
 
Robin nodded his head, "Of course, I understand wanting to keep finances in check." He raised his right index finger, "One moment please." He began searching through the lower section of the stand, as he pulled out a small package wrapped in a malleable foil. "These are collectible Truth or Dare cards. You can get all the players from the Ranked Circuit. Each pack is three copper pieces, or equivalent currency as determined by the Mordor Exchange. These are fun ones, there are so many to collect, and you get to learn about all your favorite Truth or Dare players from their stats. So there are the cards, plus other sorts of baubles and trinkets I can show you." Robin snapped his left fingers, "As for earning money... Well hmm, I could always use a few extra hands available. I suppose I can talk about an opportunity later, if you are interested. Or perhaps you could always look for different chances that are around." Robin shook his head, "Anyway, so what are your thoughts about the cards? Would you like to buy a pack or three?"

Skyia nodded a bit. " Gotta be smart, don't wanna end up in a debt that would really be bad to work out of, my parents would hate me to be in that situation! " she chuckled a bit afterwards while the boy pulled out a box, and explained the cards.


Skyia thought a bit about collectible cards. " These will work! But.... I really would like to see what kind of trinkets you have too, wanna see if there is anything else that catches my eye. " She said pulling out enough for a set of two packs.


Then the boy talked about a opportunity. " Id love to help! But we can talk about it later, right now i'd like to see if i can get anything else. " she said giving him the money.
 
Robin quickly collected the six copper pieces, as he slide over two pack of cards "Oh yes, don't want to fall in the danger of debt, as for other trinkets. Let's see..." Robin returned to searching the stand as he was scratching at his chin. He stopped for a moment as he glanced back at Skyia, "There are so many types of trinkets you could go with, from necklaces, earrings, shiny baubles, what kind of trinket would you prefer now?" He held out his arms as he extended out his palms, "Of course, of course, we can discuss potentially opportunities later. But for now, let's see if I can find you any particular trinkets you'd like."
 
Bunny crossed her arms, face flushed, turning her head to look away from this so-called judge. Apparently, this boy didn't know anything about how to do his own job. "I've answered her question and honestly as well. Anya did not ask me what he saved me from. She asked why I kissed him. If I asked you who you were, would you need to tell me your life story? Besides . . . " She glanced over to Lily and Rose. "I cannot say what he saved me from. As a lot of people here don't need to know about . . . 'taxes'. So if you continue to be so mean, then I'll just take that penalty."


Boos came from the crowd, most for her but a handful of the boos were aimed toward Reggie alerted Bunny to the presence of some rabbit lovers in the crowd. Well, at least someone sided with her on this, but it most likely wouldn't be enough to overturn the judge's ruling. ****bite. She didn't particularly need or want to win anyway. This was just to keep up a good relationship with the alraune and half-elf. If things got too out of control, she'd just forfeit.


~~~~~


"Okay," Vash said through mouthfuls of nuts and candies. "You should do it soon. Mel doesn't like owing people anything." Looking down at the stage, Vash found Azure's reaction a bit strange. So what if the girl kissed a guy. "Dude, why are you so surprised? I had my first kiss when I was 11. Well, it was sort of an accident but still, it counts. She's like 14, right? So this is normal. Plus, aren't attacks common here? I mean you guys just tried to kill us twice already for no reason. So this sort of thing happens a lot, right?"


He watched as Bunny suffered a penalty, followed by boos from the audience. Weird. Were taxes such an offensive topic? He'd need to keep that in mind for later. Waiting for the next turn, Vash turned his attention to Azure. "Hey dude, can I ask you something?" The demon got within whispering distance from the boy, as if what he had to say was not only important but also confidential.


"Why is your name blue when you're green?"


~~~~~


"The fact that you aren't revealing yourself is proof enough that even you know what you're doing is wrong, *****. So if you've got your knives then I have no business with you or your brother."


Mel went back to her work though since she still couldn't find anything wrong, she decided to put them away for now. Plus, with "Pedo Kiki" watching her, she couldn't risk letting her designs get leaked. For now, she'd have to deal with the little creeper. Though she didn't know what she could do about some ESP crap. Unless . . .


"You're a demon, aren't you?"


Mel summoned a spray bottle and a couple dozen flasks of holy water, something she didn't typically use due to the nature of her servants, but they weren't here now. Filling the bottle with the blessed water, Mel began spraying just about every inch of her room, starting with the area that seemed to agitate her so much, making sure not to spare a single spot until everything was damp. She had no idea if it'd actually work to block Kylier's "psychic" powers but since she was a demon, it was worth a shot.
 
Reggie shrugged, ignoring the boos from the crowd. "Whatever you say, but you were holding back, which isn't the whole truth. You didn't lie about the rest, though". He gestured towards Anya "Contestant Bunny omitted a detail and chooses takes a penalty, it is Contestant Hawthorne's turn once more". The little girl wasn't lying, she couldn't really say what she was saved from for whatever reason, obviously connected to the other two girls. Interesting.
 
Skyia thought about it for a bit, but just settled on. " Something hand made? If you have anything like that, preferably in the shape of a cog or a sprocket, if you sell things that aren't related to the game itself. " she said raising her hand up to her hair, and would twirl around a lock.


" Unless you don't have anything like that, then maybe something with a gem might be nice~ "
 
Robin paused for a moment, "I do apologize, but at the moment I only have merchandise that relates directly to the game. I am sorry about that. But!" Robin began searching the stall, "Ah yes, something with gems, now that is something I have. Are you looking for a particular stone? Or are you fine with any gem-stone?"
 
Skyia thought about it for a little bit. " Amber! Or at least something in that color. " She said still twirling her hair a little before letting it go to sway out a bit in a tiny curl before eventually adjusting back. Where she would just pick it up again to continue the process.


" Otherwise greens also good~ " she said before adjusting herself in her coiled mass. " And can it be on a necklace? "
