Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

[Advent Azure]

"I will, although I don't know if she'll accept them. I can probably just leave them in her room though, because at that point, she'd have to do something about them."


-I honestly don't think she'd take them if she knew they were from Mel... she'd probably think they were trapped in one way or another...-


"... well... I guess you could say that I had my first kiss stolen from me also... so I guess that sorta got to me... but she doesn't really seem like a person to do that sorta thing, given her personality."


-Actually, would that even be her first kiss... shes supposed to be a lot older than she looks right?-


"I guess your right Vash... sorry about that..."


He looked over at Vash as he asked him about something


"Sure... what is it?"


As he listened to what he had to say..... something felt... odd about what he had said...


"........................"


Hearing that gave Azure some sort of feeling of power, or at least an idea about it. He wasn't sure why... but somehow, his choice of words all belonged together... and their amalgamation had an indignation for himself... and somehow others... It felt charged with elemental power, as if they themselves were brought under an unshakable hold, dominated to ones command. It was an invincible feeling... however... at the same time... it felt empty... and unwanted. As soon as this strange feeling had come over Azure, it felt had fled... he wondered why he felt this in the first place... but the true reason, will forever be lost to the aether... he began whispering back to Vash


"That's a good question, now that I think about it... there's something about that that feels... off... but... I guess that's just a coincidence really..."


-It feels like something important... but... I don't really know... why am I thinking about this anyway?-





~~~~~


"I suppose so, but that does not mean I do not have business with you... I thought I'd be a little more personal about my watching this time..."


Kylier was surprised to hear her mention that she was a demon, however this had little importance to her. However, when she summoned the spray bottles, she understood what her plan was... she quickly made her way out of the door... despite her natural agility however, she had some of the spray catching her hand as she had left...


-Gah.... ugh... that *****...... she'll pay for this in one way or another...-


"So what if I am....... if I'm not there for you to spray down, it'll end up doing very little other than wasting perfectly good holy water. If anything, Riff or Vash could potentially hurt themselves if they come in before it all dries away."


There was a hint of annoyance of her words, although this sound digressed as she continued to speak


"I suppose I won't be able to get anymore from you while I'm watching you, since you seem set on remaining private, so I'll leave out of interest of seeing what you end up doing later, but just know, that I'm always watching..."


-Ugh... it still stings... I'll have to go ensure that no scarring will come from this... it'll be some time before that occurs, but its not worth staying here to risk that...-


Kylier rushed off to her room, under her illusions to cure her burning hand of what Mel had done to her.

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Admist Kylier's fleeing she comes across a red headed boy, and a giant following him, kinda blocking the way behind them. Both of them were out from the metalworking room, just taking another route around to go onto the roof of the building.


Jayus looked down at the direction of the girl, feeling the vibrations of her footsteps which she could not hide. Stopping in place, where Victor went on for a few more steps before noticing that there was a noticeable lack of shaking on the ground from Jayus. Turning his head around he looked at the stone cyclops. " Jayus is something wrong? " he asked, Jayus simply replied pointing directly at Kylier, upon which Victor looked that way confused.

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin nodded at Skyia, "Amber or the various shades of green? Ah, yes that is a fine aesthetic choice. And a necklace you say? Yes, yes that I can do. Speaking of aesthetics, perhaps you may wish to find various colors to bring out that natural shade of green of your eyes? Ah, yes necklace..." Robin began searching the stall, "I assume you would prefer something in a less expensive range? Personally, I would recommend, well when it comes to jewelry looking for something a bit more expensive. But of course, you may have a different taste in that matter."

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Skyia nodded. " If possible lemme see both colors, and id prefer something cheaper, i know its gonna be a little more pricey, but i think it will be worth it in the end! " she said looking at the shifter.


" Lets just see what you have that's cheaper, doesn't need to be fancy or anything, a simple necklace with a little gem in it with that color will do. It can be fake too, i don't mind, just as long as its affordable~ "

 

[Advent Azure]

"....."


-They somehow noticed me...? What would give away from presence though...-


Kylier continued making her way toward her room when she finally got in and locked the door. She looked at her hand with a scowl...


"It'll be of little issue... it'll be over quick"


Kylier took out a few things and applied a cream to her damaged hand


-To think that someone like her would have holy water on her..... what was that ability she used though... she did the same to arm Vash and Riff during the one fight...-

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Jayus just kept on pointing at the girl, Victor looked confused, and decided to see what exactly he was pointing at, pulling out his lens and putting it over his eye, just to wind up seeing a pink haired demon strutting by him. Huh.... odd, must be a creeper maybe? Who would want to skulk around the halls without being seen after all? Perverts, stalkers, creepers, and all the like~ But she just marched off down a level and towards her room it seemed. Huh... Victor was somewhat tempted to find out why she was cloaked exactly, but that might label him in the same category as her, but hell, blowing off her door might be fun, dunno in the end, but hey, do it just for fun eh?


So he just started following the girl with his lens on. Jayus walking behind him, shaking around the vicinity near him. Eventually finding her closing herself in her room.


So in the meantime, thinking what he might do to amuse himself, he just stood outside the side of the door. . . apparently not too far away from moss heads room noticing the rather crude way of having to keep the door closed.

 

[CSA]

Lily's hands went straight to her mouth when Anya revealed that Bunny had been kissing a boy in the hallway. All that managed to escape her lips, despite all of the things she wanted to say, was a very quiet yet surprised "Whaaaaaaaaaat?"


Lily silently sidled over to bunny during her explanation and her exchange with the judge, and leaned in close when they seemed like they were done. She put an arm around the angel and began whispering in her ear.


"It's OK. I would have let it pass, but then again I'm not an official ToD judge so what do I know? But I really think that we need to talk about kissing any guy that helps you out, even if it is against tax-related persons. Not now, but later. Also? Kissing boys is gross, at least as far as Anya is concerned. Don't put weird things in her impressionable young mind."

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin smirked, as he pulled out a small necklace, "Aha, here we go miss." He held out the necklace closer to her, the necklace was on a bronze like chain and simply had gold colored TOD in the middle of the chain. The o had a small green stone in it, "This necklace is a fine one, and it is not too expensive. It is only three Quatloos, or equivalent amount in currency."

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Skyia nods. " I like it! " she spouts. Reaching into her pack and paying the appropriate amount. Wanting to save the rest of her money for any food, and just hold onto the rest.


After handing the boy the money required, she tilted her head a bit. " So, did you want to talk about that opportunity here or, did you wanna talk somewhere else? " she asked the boy. Waiting for him to give her the necklace.

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin smiled as he took the three Quatloos, and slid the necklace over. "Why don't we talk about it somewhere else, after the game? After all, I've got quite a bit more work to do. Anyway, enjoy the game miss! This will be an event I am sure you will remember."

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Skyia nods her head. " Alrighty!, and you too! " she collects her items and slithers off going to explore the rest of the area. Just waving her head side to side, seeing all the things the students moved in rather quickly.

 

[Croissant]

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

Elaem scratched his head at his question and said


"Well the one you suggested for sure... and one of Philosophy and Science I believe, I was feeling in the mood for some research." He said calmly


Elaem looked at shift and nodded to his books


"What'd you get?"

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin scratched at the underside of his chin, as he glanced at the newest money that he made from the sales from Skyia. He stopped scratching his chin, as he began checking through merchandise and the profits made from sales and bets. "Remember folks, while this fantastic, spectacular, spine-tingling, mesmerizing, heart-pounding and overall thrilling game of Officially Ranked Truth or Dare is going on, come on down and buy some more merchandise and take a few bets! The game is still budding with excitement, so why don't you come on down and make a wager on the action that will unfold!"

 

[amdreams]

As Vash waited for Azure to answer, a few ideas flew though his own head. Maybe Azure died his hair. Vash had heard teens could get so rebellious at this age. Maybe it was a wig. Maybe Azure was dying of some horrible disease, or worse, baldness and that green wig was the only one he could afford. Poor boy wanted to fit in and have hair but why was the world so cruel?


Gasp! What if? What if his parents were colorblind?! What if they wanted a blue son, and because they couldn't tell the difference, they thought they did get one. But then people told them. Told them they had a green child instead. And then Azure, not being what they wanted, got abused by them each day. All because his hair was more akin to the grass than the sky. That must be why he was such a wimp!!!


Vash gave Azure a look of pity as the boy simply said he didn't know. Poor guy. Poor rebellious bald guy with the colorblind abusive parents. He probably didn't want people knowing about his horrible life. It's okay. Vash could keep a secret . . . sort of. But he would keep this one. Such a pitiful boy.


The demon placed his hand on Azure's shoulder and replied with just, "When you want to talk, man. I'll be here. We can work out all these issues together."


~~~~~


"Huh. Didn't work, I guess," Mel said disappointed. She could still hear the stupid demon. But there seemed to be something a bit off with her voice. Anger? Annoyance? So this stuff was working? Sort of? Either that or Kylier had been in the room herself. She supposed that was possible. The demon was capable of illusions after all. And the locks on the doors here seemed easy enough to pick, though Mel herself hadn't much experience in that department. Kicking down doors was more her style. Plus it was a lot more fun.


Either way, Mel would need to prepare precautions for both. The lock must change, for one thing. And in case it was picked as well . . . Well, Mel had a few ideas for that too. And it might be wise to stock up on the holy water.


~~~~~


Bunny was surprised as Lily put her arm around the angel. She thought the alraune would be more . . . unaccepting of the whole kiss business. Judging from earlier encounters, Lily didn't seem to like boys that much. Shame. The alraune were a race famous for their seduction techniques, second only to the original succubi themselves. If the girl was a bit more "open" surely she'd have half the school under her control by now. But then again, it was thanks to her prudeness that Bunny was able to convert the alraune's previous fans into her own.


"U-um . . . Okay. I won't say anymore to Anya. Thank you though, Lily."


(Sorry for the sucky post.)

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"If it's someone I like...." Anya considered the answer carefully. She looked at Bunny, then Lily, before putting her hands on her cheeks and giving a look of sudden realization, her face lighting up. It made sense now.


The cat had little time to ponder her newfound discoveries, as it was her turn again already. "Okay.Umm.... Bunny. Truth or dare?"

Richter screwed the plating onto a small cell phone. It wasn't a smartphone; it was an older model, designed to do little besides make calls, before his modifications. One was a GPS chip; Richter would be able to determine its precise location using his own phone, give or take a few feet.


The second was a very thin lining of putty, activated when the phone received a call. Richter hadn't used a phone bomb in ages, and not just because they were tricky to set up. The detonation would be small. It'd kill a human speaking into it, but a vampire, most demons, or basically anything tougher would survive. At the very least, it'd serve as a nice opening.


He pocketed the device before patrolling the halls. Though he'd never admit it, he liked the rigid structure and strict discipline he could enforce upon the school. Besides, it was only a matter of time before some hooligans d- "What in the Nine Hells is this?"


If Richter was correct, there were dozens, if not hundreds of students gathered around to watch a group of young girls playing party games.


"....Society has gone right down the toilet."

 

[MechaGhoul]

Bobby glanced at Doc Washington, "Well that was a surprising play by the Contestant Bunny, I don't agree with her decision to call out the referee though. We know what could happen, such as that game back in Stockholm. And strange how the Contestant Lily moved in with a comforting maneuver. Perhaps she is trying to get Bunny in that strategy of low-risk, low-reward moves? Or perhaps there is something we just don't know about these players. Doc, what do you think we are going to see next round, as Anya got her turn back, due to an incomplete due to Bunny's response. Do you think we will see her go for Bunny again, or move onto some other contestant?"

 

[amdreams]

Bunny was a bit surprised when Anya called on her yet again. Well, surprised, annoyed and a bit angry. Why wasn't that cat picking on someone else? Well, whatever. "Truth again," she said. If it was something she didn't want to answer, she could just take the penalty again. It' not like she wanted to win. Who cares about some stupid Truth or Dare game anyway? She had lived millenia and by far, turning this into a professional sport was the most idiotic event Bunny had witnessed in history.

 

[MechaGhoul]

"And it looks like Anya has selected Bunny again! Doc, we can only speculate on what the methods are for driving Player Anya to go after Bunny!" Bobby Ohio said with great conviction. "Perhaps Anya thinks that Bunny is by far the weakest contestant, after all she couldn't answer a full truth of a simple question. Then again, this is just speculation. Doc what do you think?"

 

[Advent Azure]

Azure looked over at Vash...


"Uh... issues..."


-What does he mean issues... he sounds like he knows me or something-


"... I don't want to talk about my issues... its not that big of a deal... I'm already working on putting it behind me..."


-Ya... I guess I am aren't I?-


Azure looked rather unsure of himself when he spoke, not exactly certain how things are going from an outside perspective.


~~~~~


-Well... now that my hand will be fully restored to how it was before... I suppose I should go wait for him...-


Kylier got up and went over to her door


-He was going to give Lily something... so he should be there... but there is only a game being held there. I'd rather not return there, considering their business type.-


Kylier opened up the door, and went over to Azure's room, and forced her way in. She didn't care to waste time or resources going to the ToD arena, being haggled to buy more and more merchandise, the distraction is not worth it.


"I suppose here is a good place to wait for him, he'll be running back here soon enough."

 

[Parsnip]

Doc emerged from the port-a-john and walked back to the table, "Well, Bobby, it looks like Hawthorne has got her cornered- if Lilith continues to pick Truth, she may very well have lost the match before it has begun!"

 

[MechaGhoul]

Bobby laughed a bit, "Truths doesn't seem to be her strong suit at all. Though this does imply she is WORSE at dares. Which, I want to see. Actually."

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"Truth, huh...." Anya weighed it carefully. Apparently the referee was a good lie detector.


"There's only one way to test out whether you can lie." she decided. "Bunny. What color are your underwear?" she asked, staring intensely at her opponent.


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


"Hmm... how to go about this." Richter said, before approaching Robin.


"Hey kid. Wanna make twenty quatloos?"

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Shift nodded his head hearing this. " W-well, the ones i w-was talking about earlier really. " He said rubbing the back of his head, and sitting down onto the ground right there.


" O-otherwise, n-nothing else. " Shift thought for a little what to do next. " S-so you've been here for two days r-right? H-how have you been e-enjoying your stay h-here s-so far? "


---


Victor just sat there when the pink haired girl ran into moss head's room. Curious, what kind of business did she have in there? So he just wandered over to the opened room, peering his head over into the room, and asked with that glare of his. " Well, what are you doing in Moss hair's room miss? " leaning in and onto the doorway, just waiting to see her response, adjusting the lens onto his eye to make sure she just doesn't vanish all of the sudden.


Jayus would stay behind Victor, couple feet away, standing tall awaiting a order.

 

[MechaGhoul]

Robin smiled ear to ear. He turned his gaze towards Richter as he counted a bit of money."Twenty Quatloos huh? I'm listening, but I've also got a stand to run as you can see. Keeping track of the profit and what not. But yeah, I'm always interested in an extra Twenty Quatloos." Robin clasped his hands together, "So what do you need?"

 

[ComradeSenpai]

"No. I think I'll pass." Richter replied, narrowing his eyes. "See that loudmouth with the white hair in the stands? Get this cellphone in his bag or on his person and the money's all yours."


"There's just one catch." he added. "You're not allowed to let him notice you, got it?"
