Oriens Academy [Phoenix Game]

[Yun]

Sayuri was slightly taken aback from her sudden bombard of questions, but did her best to answer them accordingly. However, hearing the President swear so much did worry her some. But nonetheless, the Disciplinary Committee needed an intimidating feel.


"Due to many reasons related to school and/or my 'guidance', many have left or kicked off for abusing their power. In response to your second question, I have been neglecting this room. Cleaning would surely be a hassle if only I was going to be here. Any business that needed to be taken care of was done so in my own room."





After answering those questions, Lairen looked at his sister with admiration in his eyes. Seeing the way she handled responding to so many questions so calmly without fault was something he couldn't do. Or at least, not as he was now.





"Ah, yes. This is my younger brother, Lairen. He recently came to this school. Come, introduce yourself. "





"Er... Okay. H-Hello. I-I'm Lairen Tokage. It's a p-pleasure to meet you."





Lairen managed to say, moving slightly behind Sayuri as to hide himself. It didn't help much, since he was taller than her despite being two years younger. Sayuri took the broom that was held out to her and began sweeping gently.





"No, I wasn't going to ask anything. I was only going to report in, but nothing significant happened. That aside, Ren. Come help."





He was suddenly caught off by his sisters sudden command, but obliged by clearing up any papers or large items off the tables and ground.

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Maxine nodded hearing the responses, leaning back and giving a sigh. " Ahh, man, this suuucks. " She complained before going back to sweeping. " Least someone was holding down the fort, but now to get this place back up and running. " Collecting a rather thick pile of dust in the corner of the room before going to another portion of the room as she introduced Larien. " Nice to meet you too, though you remind me of the groundskeeper. " She said idly seeing a similar first appearance.


" Anyway, thanks for the help Sayuri, and thank you Lairen. " she said, giving a nod before continuing to clean up. " So anything to report Sayuri? Anyone making trouble at the school so far when I was gone? " she said, as Elucid, the giant slug salamander thing as he is, popped off her back, and settled down onto a more clean corner, curling up a bit, emanating a slight glow from the heat stored in his body.


Letting off a odd call as it just nestled into the corner. Maxine just smiled watching the salamander slug thing go into the corner, before turning back to the two, her face suddenly going to a more stern and serious one.


" Anyway, Is there anything at all that I should be aware of? " She asked, lifting up her sunglasses, looking at Sayuri, and Lairen with her strange colored glowing yellow and red eyes.

 

[Goddess]

Naval jumped a little when he slammed his hand against his chest. When he extended out his hand she gave a small smile , extending out her own and shaking his . She stopped to look at his hand. It was rough yet smooth, rocky with a little ridges. The texture of his hand was an odd thing but it was new for her. Much like other new things she couldn't help but not to explore. Naval released the handshake, her hand gliding up his arm and over toward his chest area. Naval's eyes were wide as she studied him, giggling every time she ran over a crack or bump. Like wind snapping a tree she realized what she had caught her self in and quickly retracted her hand from him.


"Sorry, it's a bad habit of mine. Nice to meat you Jayus, the pleasure of our meeting is all but mine." Naval nearly squealed when he called her a comrade. Not many gave her that title, usually due to the "other" side of her and the fact that she was to clumsy. Naval felt a little something , not the feeling of butterflies or ever girls dream to have a school love. It was more like she was needed. Naval happily smiled as she nodded her head. "I'm here if you need anything else or in the near future just call for me." Naval tried her best to keep her eager self under control. To her it was like jello and a spoon, or perhaps the sun and the moon. If she though back correctly the human term for this would be bond or partnership.

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Jayus just looked at the girl get up all over him, the premise felt weird. How old was she? She looked a bit young, someone might look at this strangely, a young Slyph with a old rock such as himself. Well, he didn't really care about it if it did come down to that, just let it roll off with time, the girl caught herself soon enough and hopped down, explaining its a bad habit. What a curious girl, he just tilted his head to the side a bit looking down at her. " I'd say the same, but duties as a guardian hold me back at times. " He said, going down onto a knee to look a little closer at the girl, if Navel looked at his 'eye', she might even see a bit of her reflection from it, the red crystal glowing a bit shining a little.


" But still, If you need help with something, lemme know, ill see what I can do. " he said giving a thumbs up, attempting his best at a smile. Strange kid, but she seemed nice, kids like her need to start influencing the world a bit more. He slowly got back up, giving a little shake of the earth as he regained his posture. " Now what. . . " he said scratching his head looking off towards the schools building, then turning his head looking off in another direction. Trying to figure out what he could do to pass the time today, something to keep him occupied, he had hoped to train, its what he usually did in times like this, but well, it seemed like that wasn't going to be the case today. He looked down at the Slyph. " You know if there's something to do around here? " He asked, keeping his shoulders straight, his arms hung, with a strong stance set in place.

 

[Goddess]

Naval smiled as she watched his shift himself. He was nothing but rock, she had wondered if he bled the same like the others. She gave a softer smile when he spoke, as if the inside of her ears were trembling. When he went down to a knee she was finally able to hold her head straight with a little tilt to look up into his eyes. She assumed he was at least 7-8 feet tall, when he knelt down the difference was plain as day. Gazing at his eyes she reached for them. Naval had seen many eyes in her days, small ones, black ones, purple and orange. Jayus had a red crystal for one, it shined and was very eye catching. "Jayus has pretty eyes. I can see myself in them." Naval moved her hand away as she nodded to his response. "You'll be the first I'll call. "


Naval watched him get up, her balance shaking a little as the earth shook beneath her. "Something to do? I believe we've been getting new students as of late. I know one has returned from a break. We can always talk to the president to see if something needs to be done. I usually spend my time in the library or playing with the wind."

 

[Facethelight]

As Yuuma strolled throughout the halls, humming a bit of music, he peaked through any window he could find just to see what was up, and if he got to the right place. He knew it wasn't a school day so he wasn't bothered about that whole situation, but not knowing even where his room and such was, sleeping outside didn't exactly sound like an option. Being out of any sort of food, or any nourishment as is, he chewed on the side of his cheek, which obviously is a bad habit. Realizing that, he shook his head to stop himself, and let out a sigh.


"I'm so lost, and I haven't even run into anyone that looks even a bit helpful yet!... And being around here as a human, knowing what i've been taught from before, I have to watch my back, laws or not."


He gave himself a nod and slammed his fist against his chest to boost his confidence. It'd by lying to say it'd actually had done so, but like most, he'd like to pretend it actually did. He continued on with his humming until he turned a corner and throughout the mix of students, a couple seemed to be a bit more eye catching. With a pound into his palm with a fist, he knew if anything, they'ed help! Or just completely ignore him for being completely new and annoying; which caused a bead of sweat to drip down his face from under his hat. He walked over to victor and kylier and tried to make it as quick as possible.





"Hey, uh, sorry to interrupt you two and your uh, thing you probably have going, but could you perhaps tell me where the dorms and maybe a map of this place is... or something"


He shyly rubbed the back of his head with a forced laugh, one that shows the lostness in his voice.

 

[Yun]

Lairen was surprised by her sudden comment but continued on, not allowing it to get to him. Surely it wasn't meant to be rude, but he wasn't sure at this point.


"Nothing worth mentioning. Everything considered minor has been taken care of by me."





With that, she carried on with her sweeping while thinking of anything Maxine should know. She couldn't think of anything big or super important at the moment.





"No. I apologize. I can't think of anything. Oh... because of the lack of members, you will be alone most of the time. I tend to take many walks a day, so I only come here to report in. However, if you need me, feel free to call for me."





The two siblings looked up to meet her gaze briefly before resuming their work, doing their best to clean up the room quickly. Neither of the two was used to cleaning, since they grew up with over protective parents who did all the work themselves. Nonetheless, they knew the basics.

 

[Advent Azure]

"... I suppose you did make a good call Victor. Anyone like him can just walk up to ask whatever they want."


Kylier looked at the boy, not overly impressed with how he looks. If anything, he kinda saw a bit of 'Azure' in him


"You should know at the very least know that the dorms are a wing of this entire building complex"


-I suppose the map he made should at least suffice for removing him, should I send him Mel's way though... No I should do something else, it's more a waste of time for me than this boy or her.-


She produced a pilfered map with pain steaking detail upon it, featuring multiple pages or each floor, with some spots being less detailed, mainly other students rooms. It's a more detailed map than standard ones never less. She handed it toward to boy.


"This should suffice for you to find your way. Don't bother returning it, I'm sure you'll need it"

 

[amdreams]

Rose was both relieved and nervous when Skyia finished what she had to say. Her body began to stiffen as she shrunk back, hugging herself. Why would Skyia ask her about that? Rose had no experience dealing with this. Not even in books. Wouldn't this be a question for a couselor instead? But . . . that would require telling them what happened. And everyone knew those ladies couldn't keep any juicy gossip secret.


She thought on it, considering what Skyia said along with her own judgements. "I . . . I don't think we should tell him." Her arms loosened a bit though she still kept her eyes glued to the spot on the floor to the side. "No matter how strong someone might be, I don't think anyone would be normal after hearing that they had already died. It's kind of freaky. And no offense to Azure, but he doesn't seem that . . . strong."


"But I can't imagine something like this will be secret forever. So if he eventually finds out, we'll of course have to do our best to make sure he doesn't fall too hard. Because . . . " She managed to lift her head to look the lamia straight in the eye, giving her a soft smile. "Because we're his friends, right?"


At that time, Azure came out of his room, or rather fell out. Looking rather out of it, Rose suspected the resurrection was a failure, well, until some unfamiliar girl dragged him back into his room. "W-what?!" She rushed in, seeing the girl now trying to pull him out the window. She ran forward, grabbing on of Azure's arms and attempting to help him stay. "Who are you?!" she shouted at the girl. "And what are you doing to Azure?! I'll have you know, kidnapping is a serious criminal offense!"


~~~~~


Mel stepped back as Shift sprouted tenatcles, not out of alarm or fear, though those tentacles were a bit disturbing, but rather shock that those stupid internet stories were true. Well, at least it was one of the better stories. Even if most humans didn't know the existence of monsters, couldn't they have made some stories that were actually scary?


As Shift pointed out the proper place to train, Mel followed his finger to a building. Huh. How did she not notice that until now? She must've had at least one class there, right? "Hm . . . Noted."


"Miss Mel?" Mel felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to face Riff as the boy pointed to his watch. "It's approaching noon. Should we head inside?"


"Eh? Already? Well, okay, I guess." She turned back to Shift. "Looks like I have to go. Thanks for the directions, Slendy. Bye." Then with a turn on her heel, she started her way back to the castle with Riff on her tail, after he also said goodbye to the groundskeeper.


"Oh, and stand up straight. Have to be at least a bit intimidating around here if you're staff. And your height's really the only thing you've got going for you right now."

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Jayus tilted his head. " Eye, not eyes. " He said correcting her. He nodded a bit hearing her suggestions. " Eh. . . its something. " He said, turning his body a little. " Lead the way comrade. " He said, waiting for the much smaller sylph to start moving. To him this is just something to do, and hey, might as well just look around on the campus. Usually he's only seen what Victor has wanted to see, with the various trips around of him scanning and scanning the environment. Boy had a bit of a talent to keep a situation aware, caught onto it quickly when he was younger and only kept improving.


But for now, a calm day here at this school would be nice to just think over events of the past, while Victor was occupied with something. Just letting out a sigh, he just calmly waited for the rather strange sylph to start leading him somewhere.


=====


" And it can become a bit of a irritation sometimes, nonetheless. " He just watched as Kylier explained for him, pulling out, a rather detailed map of the school. " Well you've been around, haven't you? " He said, just looking over at her, then back towards the boy. Nothing that struck him at all from this boy, human it seemed, bit of a delinquent at a glance. " I'd suggest you go talk to the student council if you need help with anything else. " he said pointing at a location at the map, before retreating his hand back.


Moving on from this boy, he just put his hands in his pockets. " Well now that this is settled out, you wanted me to take you to somewhere i'd find comfortable? Give me a few moments to think of a location. I can think of somewhere to go. " He said pulling his hand to his chin and thinking a bit. Comfortable, comfortable for him was sitting at a high hidden place where only few could see him, but he could freely observe others. Such as a few empty rooms around the school he had found, abandoned for some reason or another, some completely hidden with some sort of mechanism hiding them.


Though considering this girl, she might not be as amused by it as he is. Eh, there might be one of these spots though that might work. Just gotta get her up a few levels in the building. " Well, I think i know a place Ms Kylier. Few levels up this building. "


=====


Maxine nodded hearing this. " Alright then! Good job Sayuri. You at least someone I can look to in this damn group. And don't worry about it, the disciplinary needs to be out on the field more than anything, just we need somewhere to fall back to, keep all our records and equipment for our duties. " She said giving a thumbs up to her. The group would most likely find themselves cleaning up the room quite a ways in not too long, finishing at noon.


" Alright, well I think things are done here. " She said putting her broom against the wall, then looked at a clock on the wall. " Oh, hey its lunch. " she said, stretching her arm a bit. " You two wanna go grab something to eat? " She asked, stretching her body a bit, the dragonshifter afterwards would move to Eulicid, waking him up. He would follow her afterwards as she turned to the two. " Dunno if the cafeteria is serving anythin worthwhile, but its free sooo. " She pulled her arms up for a shrug.


=====


Skyia nodded. " Yes we are Rose!~ " she said, smiling happily hearing the girls response. Then he fell out of the door upon which she immediately turned pale thinking that he died again. Then a girl dragged him back in, he was getting kidnapped!? She slithered over quickly behind rose, seeing the girl try to yank him outside the window. Rose rushed and grabbed his arm, trying to yell at the girl some things. Skyia hissed at the harpy, slithering up quickly, and darted her tail up and attempted to wrap it around Azure's torso.


She would try to hold him in, not letting the girl try to pull him away so easily, there was no way she was gonna let her try to kidnap him and do who knows what to him. " Let him go! " She yelled at the girl, hissing after she said that.


=====


Shift watched as the two started to head off, the girl calling him slendy. . . well that wasn't completely false, but he doesn't know if that's what he wants to be called, then again its better than other names he's been called. Giving them a wave as they walked off, suddenly the girl says one last thing.


Stand up straight? Be intimidating? Uhh... Shift honestly had a few mixed feelings hearing this, he didn't want to be scary, but he had to be a little enforcing in his job, otherwise the students could just ignore him all day. But again, he didn't want to be a giant scary guy, it kinda made him feel bad if he was intimidating students. . . though, he supposes, maybe trying it out here and there might not hurt, just to see how it goes...


In the meantime he just silently sits there, just thinking over this. As well as thinking what to do later on in his free time, he has a couple shows he kinda wanted to catch up on!

 

[Advent Azure]

"Kidnapping? But I'm just doing a family favor for him and his folks! He's not leaving for long. I just want to give him some excitement!"


The half shifted girl struggled with her flapping outside, with her legs pushing against the wall as they held Azure back


"Ugh..........."


-They are pulling me apart........-


She went wide eyed as Skyia approached.


"A Snake Girl?!?! No!!! I won't let you eat me or Azzy!!! I'll save you Azure!"


She shot out needle like feathers in a panic out of her wings as Skyia began wrapping around Azure, sending one at Roses arm, and a couple at Skyia, trying to get one in the tip of her tail.


"Let go!!!!!"


Her voice definitely had some fear in it, and after a bit let Azure go and flew on off.


"I'll be back for you Azzy!"


~~~~~


"Well, I suppose you can say that, but that map is not my own. It is, how you would put it, the property of moss head. I'm sure he doesn't need it however."


She smirked a bit. The boy will be able to get some real use out of that map. She turned to Victor.


"I see then. Lead the way then."

 

[Yun]

Sayuri was pleased to hear the President praise her. She had put the majority of her time here into the Disciplinary Committee and was glad to hear it was worth something. While thinking this and many other thoughts, she continued to clean. As for Lairen, a smile stretched across his face from hearing someone praise his elder sister. Even if it wasn't his own accomplishment, he still felt proud as if it was his own. Eventually, noon camd around and they finally finished cleaning the room, which was now restored to its original state.


When offered to go get some food, Sayuri turned to Lairen.


"Ren, are you hungry? Knowing you, you probably skipped breakfast to find me, correct?"





"W-well... um... C-Correct. I'm sorry. If you don't mind taking me, Sayu, I want to eat," he said, hanging his head low.


With a helpless smile, Sayuri turned to Maxine.





"Yes, that sounds nice, President. "

 

[Goddess]

Naval nodded her head and began her way back to where she had once came from. She would glance back toward Jayus, her eyes nearly hurting as she strained them to look straight up. Naval couldn't stop thinking about the whole partner and crime, good cop and bad cop. Of course she had to think about what the other one would do. Seeing how shes the polar opposite , means she probably wouldn't need any help or care to have any. Naval thought the time was rather to early, so telling him about her split personality was a bit soon and unneeded, besides things could change from here to god knows when. Other than her idle thoughts Naval made sure to watch where she stepped so she wouldn't trip and look like a total ditz. As she neared the door , the door opened rather slowly. Naval looked up and to her surprise Stone was there.


Stone had opened the door fully and eyed the wind elemental. "Ah there you are." Stone replied with lack of any tone. Naval smiled happily as she stepped to the side a little. "You've finally returned." Stone nodded her head, her gaze moving from the wind user up toward the man who was behind her. Considering his height Stone too had to tilt her head back a little just to get a glimpse of facial features, which seemed he didn't have much of. "Who is your tall friend." Naval turned around and with a thunk, she hit Jayus side and gave tone a wide smirk. "This here is Jayus, my comrade." Stone glanced to Naval when she uttered comrade. Knowing Naval, she was surprised comrade was even in her dictionary. Stone looked up toward Jayus as she shifted the tall bag back onto her shoulders. "Earth elemental I assume. A pleasure to meet a friend of Naval. I'm Stone."


Naval smiled as she looked between the two then realized they seemed similar. Stone's body was not of flesh like her own, except it was rock...just like a stone. She didn't have smooth edges and there were many cracks near her arms and midsection. The only real difference was their eyes or eye. Stone had a pretty pale gray while Jayus had a red crystal. Stone looked down toward Naval and asked her a question. "You will be attending the meeting right. I plan to sign up for student council, Rose seems to be off...or worried more since the last I was here." Naval nodded her head with a yes. Stone looked back up toward Jayus. "I assume you would be joining some time of student staff here as well. You seem like the type to train, bored when you have nothing else to do. " Naval tugged on Stone's lower skirt. "I was about to take him to the office , would you like to tag along." Stone gave her a blank stare before pulling out a jelly filled cookie. "Sure."

 

[Facethelight]

"Ah, thanks thanks..."


He was stunned at the amazing detail of the map, he doesn't think he's ever even seen a map of such caliber in any type nor range of history and geography books he's been able to get his hands on; and not exactly elementary leveled ones either. But that didn't matter so much to him as much as now, as he has a way to get around at least now without getting too lost, and is easily recoverable from that situation if he can find a landmark. As the student council was pointed out to him, he gave a nod without saying anything and memorized the direction needed to be taken to get over there, and folded up the map into a tiny square and tossed it into his back pocket, making sure it won't fall out.


"Well, see you around I guess, I hope we can get along"


He turned around with a smile and a wave as he walked off towards the student council room to get the full 'lay-down' of the school, if not to just acquaint himself with the staff to make sure he doesn't give off the wrong impression if something were to go wrong, which always seems to happen. From studying the map, eyeing around the halls and scenery becomes a bit more calming and understandable to find your way around, even to the point of him wondering why he had an issue in the first place; even though he totally knows why he had an issue. He climbed both up and down stairs after losing some of his way, but with a quick look he got right back on track and onto the third floor, where he neared the council and disciplinary rooms. With a quick look at both doors, he studies them both to himself in thought.


"is anyone even going to be here today, i'm sure during free days, the last thing people'd want to do is stay in the council rooms..."

 

[amdreams]

"Hey!" Rose flinched as the feather pierced her arm, letting go of Azure to pull the thing out. It took her a bit to realize she had let go, slowly peeking back to him to see if the harpy had made off with Azure. Though once she looked, she saw no sign of the girl and Azure was still there. Thank goodness. But it might not have been pleasant for him. It looked like he had fallen in. Still, he hadn't been taken so she counted it as a win.


She crouched by Azure. "Azure? Are you okay? Who was that girl?" Rose had intended to poke him, but for some reason, there was a bit of resistance. Her arm began to feel funny, not moving to the extent she had imagined. And soon enough it felt numb and she couldn't really feel her arm at all. Seeing the spot of blood on her skin, she thought of the feather. Rose began to panic as she looked toward Skyia. More feathers had been aimed at her after all. "Hey, Skyia, are you feeling funny or anything?"

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

" Ah!? " Skyia's tail was hit by several feathers, poking into her tail, pulling Azure into the room after the girl flew away. " Owowowowww. . . " she wined, uncoiling around Azure's torso, as he landed onto a portion of her tail, and pulled the tip of her tail over, plucking the feather tips that have ingrained themselves in her tail. Wincing a bit as she pulled them out, it stings. That girls a meany, trying to take Azure, and attacking her and Rose, and saying that she'd eat Azure, meany.


She was being relatively fine being honest, the substance that seemed to slightly numb Rose and Azure, didn't actually appear to be effecting her at all, whether it was from her size, or part of her beastman lamia gene could be debated. " Yea are you okay Azure? " she followed up with Roses question, rubbing her tail a bit from the small bee-sting like pain. Rose asked her a question, and she looked over, shaking her head. " Just hurts a little, . . . why? " she asked, slithering a bit into a coil, still rubbing her tail's tip.


=====


Victor nodded, ah she called him moss head, his mind started thinking of random names for the boy. Cabbage head, spinach brain, vomit hair, silly stuff like that, because there was not much to really do. He led Kylier away from the other boy, going up a set of stairs, turning around and going onto the next level, going up and up to the 4th level, then going over to a bookshelf idly placed along the wall. Victor looked around to the back of it, and reached over pressing onto a panel on the wall, where a section of a empty wall would slide open like a door, revealing a more wooden door on the other side.


" Here we are. " He said, leading the girl in, it was a rather small room, nothing fancy, just a table, a few chairs, and a small cooler it seemed, with no ice in it. A window stretched along the side, showing off a rather sizable portion of the campus, able to see a rather large scope of the school. Just one of the places Victor made note of, to continue with his scouting or if he needed to collect somewhere, he stepped over pulling the chair out for her, then walked over to the cooler, pulling out a prepackaged sandwich. " Hope you don't mind the refined stuff, it was something I could keep in here for a while without instantly going bad. " he said, pulling it up, with a water bottle in the ice less cooler, both were a bit warm, something that Victor was used to, no right to complain about it, where he grew up at, this was far more forgiving compared to what he had to survive on, with the accommodations as well at the time.


If Kylier did enter, Victor would walk over to close the door, trying to hide its existence to the majority of the students. Then went over to go take a seat in the other chair. " Hope you don't mind the setting of the room, its something I just found and been using myself. " he said with a shrug, leaning forward in his chair a bit. " Shall we get straight to it then? " He asked.


=====


Jayus just stayed silent, following the girl. Listening to the two girls converse. Nodding as she greeted him, the giant staying rather silent otherwise. A rather stone-like mermaid it seemed, not entirely sure to classify her as a elemental, or a elf, just something that he thought about a bit. Although she seemed a bit grey like her appearance, rather lifeless in her speech. Guess it just runs being a sorta rock-like being really, though Jayus could argue otherwise, his companions several hundred years ago were rocks as well, golems, and elementals like him, while not exactly like him, they were similar enough to compare, and they still have a breath of life to them.


He got a bit lost in his old memories when the girl asked if he was going to apply to be a school teacher, a teacher? Ehh... its not his thing, unless he was ordered to, he wouldn't willingly. He's a solider if anything, and rather follow what to do to fight, its what he's always lived for. So he just replied with a shake of his head, and saying. " Id rather not. " before, looking over to Navel. " I'm still following, lead the way. " He said, just keeping his broad shouldered pose as he walked. Shaking the ground still with every step.


=====


Maxine smiled hearing the response from the Tokage's. " Alright, lets get going then. Ill probably get dressed in my uniform later, for now lunch time! " She said, walking over to the door. " And Sayuri, call me Maxi, just clicks more than president, too official for me. It fits Rose better. Speaking of which is she still the president of the Council? " She opened the door, and the 6'6 foot tall dragongirl looked over outside seeing a guy there, wearing a beanie with some dark spots under his eyes, instantly going down to a blank expression, to a slightly annoyed expression, he looked a bit like a troublemaker, someone who might just cause her trouble in the future. He was just standing outside the council and the committee rooms, how long has he been like that? Better not be some creep trying to spy on Rose.


" Can i help you? " She asked, in a tone where you could feel a bit of the irritation in her, going outside the door, and looked down at the boy, crossing her arms, as Eulicid the huge salamander thing he is followed behind her, standing next to her as she spoke to the human.


=====


Meanwhile Shift was still thinking to himself, pulling out a sandwich and starting to eat it right there as he was still thinking. It was a nice Sunday, feeling a bit of warmth of the sun in the February winter. A nice day to just settle down really. He wondered a bit what Lilith was probably doing right now... Eh none of his business. For now just eat a bit of lunch, maybe catch up on a comic or two.

 

[Facethelight]

"Oh! Uh, sorry if i'm somewhere I shouldn't be, you sound a bit annoyed, which I apologize for."


He rubbed the back of his head with a minor bow of his head forward, trying to show a bit of respect to at least who he thought was part of the council or something of the sort. As he raised his head again, he had just a small bit of a smile as he spoke, trying to calm the situation.


"I just transferred in today and am getting a bit used to the school and all. I ended up getting lost though, and i met this one student who was with a friend of his from what i can guess, who said I should come over if I needed any help. Being I don't know much still, i thought the best idea was to get the main idea from you, if you get what i'm saying."


His eyes were lowered down looking at the ground, darting from side to side with anxiousness and a bit of 'new student in a new place' fear. Occasionally with a nod upward he looked up at Maxine in order to maintain eye contact and not seem like someone who absolutely doesn't care. His hands were resting in the pockets of his jacket, which didn't hold much except for his low profile bladed weapons on the inside of the coat.

 

[Advent Azure]

"Ugh....."


Azure had fallen in thanks to their efforts. It sucked that he landed on the floor, but it's better than falling from up high to the ground outside. Two needle thin feathers were still stuck into him by his neck...


"I..... I don't know... Ugh... Can someone..."


Azure struggled to move trying to push himself up jaggedly and shakenly.


"I... These feathers... are laced with a poison... It's been used on me before..... Many times... by someone else.... But I don't know that girl... I've never seen her before in my life..."


Azure got up, and put his hand on a wall to help himself up as he reached over to take the feathers out with a wince...


"I... Am alright... Just as a precaution... I've made an antidote for this sorta thing... Out of some herbs..."


He went over a little haphazardly toward his closet, falling down halfway there, and crawled, one hand over the other until he got to it and opened it. There was a jar on the floor, and Azure took it and opened the very loose lid off of it and removed a napkin from ontop the jar. It looked like a jar that has some sort of cream inside


"A couple plants, and medicine mixed with it, I found counteracts this type of poison... It's meant, to be used as a skin balm, a lotion to draw it out, and neutralize it, if that makes sense..."


He opened it, He took off his gauntlets and looked at his right palm for a bit. It felt a bit better than the rest of his body. He then dug a few fingers in, dropped down, with his back against a wall as he rubbed it in the area around his neck... He rubbed it into his hands and up his arms. He slid the jar over to Rose and Skyia, a bit hesitantly...


Incidentally, it's also one of those somewhat rare moments where Azure's bare hands are out in the open.


"It's not weird... For me to have you use this cream right? It sorta feels weird to give this out like that... You don't have to use it if you think it's weird sharing that..."


~~~~~


Kylier grew an amused look as he approached to secret spot as he opened it up.


"My my, so you are the one who brought these accommodations here. And I was hoping that you would lead me to a new secret spot."


She went in as he invited him in


"These rooms aren't for public nor private use, so it is of little consequence. I can see that you are more than you appear. You've sparked my interest. Ask away, and I will answer what I will, and no more as I decide to give you the answers you seek."


She sat down, awaiting his barrage.


~~~~~


Vise peeked out from Azure's window ever so slightly, trying to see what was going on before flying away once more.


"Don't worry Azure, I haven't given up on you yet!"


She remained flying high in the sky, circling above the school, somewhat visible as a smallish figure in the sky, waiting to strike/save Azure.

Sayuri felt conflicted over the subject of calling her so familiarly. Because the Head told her to, she should call her Maxi, but then again, she was the Head ofthe Disciplinary Committee.


While pondering over this, Lairen looked in front of them to see a boy who had just transferred. Thought Maxine seemed to already have it taken care of, Lairen tugged on Sayuri's clothes to get her attention. In response, she looked towards the boy as well, but kept silent.


The two white-haired siblings examined the boy. Coming from a prestigious family of half demons, they had developed a sense of telling whether a person was good or bad. In this case, looks alone wouldn't tell them anything. Their gaze became a bit intimidating as they stared right at the boy, Lairen's usual shy and nervous self now serious.

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

" Its not the most secret, which is why i brought you here. And I'd rather keep anything that I deem good enough to myself for now. " He said, crossing his arms in his seat.


" Anyway, so there's a few questions I want to ask, first one I should ask before things end up. . . rather unfortunate in the future, is with what I have to owe you, I don't want to be some sort of monkey boy for you, doing everything you want and the like. Least tailor it to my abilities if you will, something I can enjoy doing, which I will discuss to you what my strong points are. " He adjusted his position on his seat, looking over. " Moving on, so your brother had died and came back, i'm somewhat curious of how exactly you feel about that whole ordeal. "


Taking a few moments for a pause. " Secondly, the thing i'm particularly curious of, how exactly did a boy like him get his hands on a knife that can absorb magic, I've heard of such things yet I've never seen one. They appear to be a rare thing, either having skilled crafters create it, or some sort of relic from the past, so I have to assume that your family came across a knife like that in the past? If so do you have any knowledge how it first became acquired? Or did you not know he had such a tool? "


He looked out to the window, watching a the students heading off for lunch. " Or am I going to have to dig around myself to learn more about it? Its not the most common type of weapon around, so of course I have my natural interest to it a lot, as well... why did the boy seem to react when it sucked my magic? " Looking back at her he pressed his hands together. " Can you answer any of these questions Ms Kylier? Or are you sealed at the lips on discussing these at all, otherwise I could tell you a tale or two to pass the time. "


=====


Maxine squinted her eyes, stepping a bit closer to the boy. " So, what did you need help with? I was about to head to lunch with a couple of my fellow mates, so I kinda wanna hurry this up. " She tapped her foot waiting for a response what exactly the boy needed. " Did you need a tour around the school or somethin? If that's what you wanted your gonna have to wait til after lunch. "


Moving her hands from a crossed potion in front of her, placing them along her hips looking down at him still. " Otherwise Your schedule, and room number should have been assigned to you already, if not, then I think I can do something for you. " She turned her head over. " Hey Sauyri, gonna take a bit, ill meet you over there. Alright? "


=====


" P-posion!? " she said, suddenly wide eyed, shaking a bit hearing that, she didn't want to be poisoned, not at all! Who carry's that around at school?! What if it starts killing her slowly!? She doesn't want to die a slow painful death! Inside her body however, her immune system was already fairly at work getting rid of the substance, to Skyia's body, it didn't effect at all. A gift of being a particular lamia, a sort of immunity against things like this.


But she still was freaking out a bit in the meantime. " D-does it really work Azure?! " she said sweating a little.

At first Naval was leading the way till Stone took the front so Naval could talk to her friend. As they ventured back into the school stone turned around toward Naval as she swallowed the last of her cookie. "I didn't catch it before but I'm not like him. I may appear to be but I have flesh just like you." Naval tilted her head a little as touch the back side of Stone's arm. "Think of it as burnt skin but instead of it looking wrinkled and black mine is more smooth with several cracks, along with the tone being gray." Naval nodded her head as Stone turned around. Honestly the chances of Rose being in the room was a slim chance to none so Stone led them to where she had came from. Walking up the steps with little care in her speed ,she managed to get to the landing.


Walking past several other students she made it to the room where clingy and veggie was. Peering in she had found rose , clingy and the veggie. "Still here it seems."


---


During the walk Naval would glance back toward Jayus with eyes overflowing with wonder. She had always wonder how a rock elemental worked, a fire one too. Was their heart like the rest, do they bleed, is the rest of them the same. Naval would have asked but since Stone was present she had kept them to her self. "How long have you been here, I haven't seen you around at all." Naval stated before her attention was taken away when she saw Stone stop and peer into something. Doing the same she looked inside and found a rather familiar face. This was the one with the broken door, the first time when she bothered him sleeping. He was also apart of some early drama, that her other half had gotten mixed into.


"Oh its Azure."

 

[Facethelight]

He was a little uncomfortable with the white haired students staring at him, as well as the large woman getting even closer to him. He didn't as much as back away as make a tiny scoot as he rubbed his arm with his other hand as he looked up at her.


"I don't mean to take up your time and all, I just don't want to make any wrong impressions and mess things up, so i was wondering about maybe some either unspoken rules or common courtesies I may not know about, since I've been a very sheltered man throughout my life. I don't much know about the other races other than some basics from history, but its all pretty outdated, and the last thing I'd want is to be eaten alive or something. Being sucked dry by a vampire or dealing with sitting in the stomach of something doesn't really sound pleasant, as i can guess some people probably don't care to follow the law of not hurting humans."


He turned his head away, the anxiety getting to him as he hopes he isn't saying things that are totally offensive, but it's better to get it out and corrected by staff and not some other random student or potential friend, right?


"A-Anyways, a tour might also be good I guess, but that's just up to you. I just want to make myself known I'm not here to cause trouble as some new transfer student or something..."

 

[Advent Azure]

Kylier smirked


"It was my intention to do what you requested for me not to do, monkey boy. But I suppose it would be fine leaving it up to spy work."


Kylier's smirk dropped.


"Between you and me, I feel annoyed that he had come back. He is one who will shove off death to remain alive somehow. Despite what I imagined would kill him off for good once and for all, it instead became a device to his command, in a way. To give you a clearer answer, he remained alive when I truly wished for him to die. Only now that he is alive, that I see his usefulness."


Her sore face turned into somewhat of a smile.


"The answer for how he had gotten it however is quite simple, my family, or more specifically, I gave him the curse of donning the weapon. A one of a kind that is indeed a relic of the past, or rather, an accursed momento my ancestors aquired, I suppose you can say."


~~~~~


"Er! Wait wait! It's a non-lethal poison! It's not the kind that kills you, it just gives you temporary paralysis."


Azure forced himself upright against the wall, a bit limp, but recovering


"You'll be alright if you leave it alone, that cream just make you recover faster, sooner if it's applied shortly after you get struck with whatever... Just rub it in wherever that girl... Shot her feathers in?"


He didn't know what to think of that ability... And thinking about it, he realized that the poison used was similar to her sisters, although she hasn't used it since long ago after being able to control him out of submission way back then.


"Huh? Naval?"


Azure turned his semi-limp body toward her direction


"Er... How long have you been there?"

 

[TenaciousTinkerer]

Jayus was quite a bit behind the girl, responding with. " A month. " Before long losing sight of them, being long gone after Navel turned back around to focus on the door, the girls were moving far too fast for someone like him to keep in pace with. So he just went off another way, since they were too preoccupied with their own things.


The stone giant just walked along by himself in the meantime, maybe catching up with them later, eh, who knows, for a now just doing a walk would be nice.


=====


Skyia frowned seeing the mermaid that saw her earlier and called her clingy, shes still a meany, so she moved her tail to the door, blocking it off with a mass of her tail, honestly she didn't want to get involved with the girl, already left a bad impression on her. She really didn't see Navel yet, shes honestly never met the girl thus far.


Then turned over to Azure. " O-okay. " She said, moving a bit in her place. " But... strangely enough, I don't feel any different. " Her tail writhing a little. " You sure this stuff works Azure? " she asked, then took a few moments to realize what he said earlier. " What do you mean used on you many times? And should we close the window? "


======


Victor listened intently, hearing everything she had to say before speaking up. " Spy work, something I can do, something i'm a little used to doing, ill be fine with that. "


Taking a few moments to think over what exactly she meant. " So I take it your not a big fan of your brother? Other than this recent set of events? I'm sure he can be of some value to you. Helps a bit that humans tend to be a bit like roaches, little hard to kill. " He ended with a snicker.


Then bringing up the 3rd question, he asked. " Accursed? That knife been causing trouble to your family? " He asked leaning a bit backwards, with a curious expression. " Is there any information you would be willing to share about it? Its catching my interest even more. " he ended with a grin.


=====


" Don't piss anyone off, and id watch yourself around the school, vampires get cravings, some creatures love the taste of human flesh. This is all against the law of course to do that, nobody can just go out and say, I WANNA KILL THIS PERSON, I WANNA EAT THIS PERSON, I WANNA SUCK THIS PERSON DRY, ect ect, but you should keep your guard up in case of events like this ever come around. " she smirked a bit, showing a bit of her teeth in her expression.


" So either you watch yourself and get ready to run to me or someone else in the disciplinary or staff, be good at fighting, or **** yourself running fast as hell. " She pulled a hand from her hip and over to his shoulder, gripping onto it tightly, bending down a bit to look him in the eyes, her own strange colored bright glowing eyes staring right into him. Possibly feeling like she was seeing right into his soul. " And you better not piss me off, capisce? "


Releasing her grip and standing up. " Ill take you on a small tour, you need to get a student handbook too, so you know what exactly are the rules so you don't get someone like me smashing down your door. You'll do fine here. " She extended a hand to the boy. " Maxine Sanshoo, dragon beastman, and head of the disciplinary, whats your name transfer student? " she said, giving a slight smirk at the new blood at the school.

 

[Advent Azure]

"...hmm..."


Azure took notice of how Skyia as a whole had more 'body' to put it in terms of how it wouldn't offend women, or at least he thought.


"Maybe, because it has to go through a lot more in you than compared to me, that the poison is far more diluted in you than us. You're moving around enough, so maybe there wasn't enough to have it affect you I guess, while the amount we got shot into us is enough to have an effect."


Azure nodded his head at her question.


"I'm sure, I've had to use this stuff countless times in the past... So it works on me, the medicine should help get rid of whatever trace amounts are inside you."


He realized what he said had said.


"Well... I made this stuff... Because I used to get this kind of poison in my system when I was younger a lot... So... We probably should close the window..."


Azure went over to it and shut it.


~~~~~


Kylier chuckled a bit at Victor's responses


"I believe you have misunderstood me to an extent. I would say, that I was indifferent toward him, a play thing that grew old. Only now that it has shown new tricks, that I continue to with that boy. Weak willed as he is, his desire to live is uncanny, that is one aspect of him that I do not yet understand of him completely."


Kylier grew a wicked smirk, alive with what he thought the weapon caused her family.


"On quite the contrary, it is because of its nature that my family has aquired great wealth. You could say that it was a means to an end, an accursed item to others. I leave what that means however to your imagination."


She laughed for a bit, shifting one leg over the other.


"I'm sure that you may be dying to know, but I believe I've been more than fair to you over information, and yet I've to receive compensation for such"


She grew a condense ding tone in her voice.


"I can't say that it's like me to be generous for free, out of character really."


She stayed seated, no longer speaking.
