Fantasy Snow-Fire Academy for the Gifted

[ZappiestAbyss]

Josie leaned in his face a little. "Well, Zoltar, I actually need to speak with you. My name is Josephine Larsen, that's Professor Larsen or Ma'am to you." She was nose to nose with this kid, and the thought occurred to her that she's scaring the poor guy. She got out of his face and looked across the mess hall to see a student staring at her. She looked back at Zoltar. "Can you kindly follow me?"

"Of course! How could we not be now?" Fallon replied. She was in her full human form, using forks and knives instead of burying her face in the plate. She hadn't used utensils in forever, so she was a little clumsy with them, and a bit of a messy eater. She would get embarrassed when she dropped food on her shirt and look at Smoke to she if he noticed, which, usually, he did and giggled. Fallon was so glad she had mad a true friend for once.

Smoke smiled and chuckled with her.
"Do you want some help?" Smoke asked finishing his food. He changed forms and laid under the table. Smoke plopped his head in her lap and purred a bit getting the scraps she spilled.
While Smoke was happy with life, Elch was a bit aggravated. Lucia had to decided to not show up as requested. He finished his wine before lighting another cigarette and walking towards the cafeteria. He walked and looked around, he spotted the headmistress and smiled quickly at her. He spotted the young lady and walked towards her calmly. He tapped her shoulder with his left hand while holding the cigarette with his right.
"Excuse Ms. Lucia, that is you correct? Will you please come with me, along with Mr. Asura." Elch said. His voice was smooth but not kind, more aggravated.

"Well, Zoltar, have you seen an increase in gifted students recently? A higher percentage of new kids?" She was leaning in his face again slightly. "That is because of increased seismic activity and tide changes. The faster the tide changes, the more earthquakes, the more kids with powers, the closer we get to a catastrophe."

"Erm...what? What evidence do you have for this? What do you need me for?"

Zoltar seems a bit skeptical about this outburst. A man of science like him needs a bit more proof than some wild ramblings of a woman who looks like they've just left war.

Lucia slowly turned around, glaring at the teacher for a moment before letting out an exasperated sigh. "Yes sir. Wherever it is you need us to go we'll follow you. And next time, if you want to get my attention, say my name out loud. If you touch me again without my express permission I swear I will make the rest of your pitiful existence absolutely miserable. I don't care that you're a teacher, nobody touches me without permission or a very good reason. Nobody." Her face seemed devoid of all emotion as she said the last few sentences, although from her tone it was quite obvious that she was quite cross with this teacher. Elch was very lucky that he was a teacher, or else she likely would not have given this warning and instead simply proceed to do what she was threatening to do. Sure it may have been a bit of an overreaction, but as far as Lucia was concerned it was completely warranted. She didn't even care that this was a teacher she was threatening. "Anyway, sir, please lead the way." Lucia said with an obviously fake smile.

Before Baron was able to reach them, they started walking. Surprised, he picked up his pace to try to catch up to them. They seemed to be talking now, the lady to the kid, her talking matter-of-factly and he talking confused or questioning. He didn't catch most of it. When he got close enough behind the kid, he caught something about catastrophes and stuff. The kid made it seem like this woman was using him. "Evidence" , and her needing something from him. Sounded like extortion or blackmail, and this lady looked tough. He put his hand on his left saber and spoke up, letting himself be known. "Ahem. Didn't mean to interrupt really, just caught my attention. What's this about catastrophes and evidence?" He said with a raised eyebrow, looking serious yet curious. h2h0e The Fabulous Emerald

Asura was a bit taken aback by Lucia's words but he was more concerned with his food"but..." He stammered as he looked back and forth between elch and his plate with a dissatisfied look on his face. Eventually he just hung his head with a sigh and set his plate down on a near by table "fine..."

Fallon could not hold in her laugh as Smoke caught her food. "Oh, Smoke! Don't make fun of me!" She snorted suddenly, then stopped laughing. She looked at Smoke. The two continued laughing.

"Did you hear about the earthquake in Eastern Kingdom a few weeks ago?" Josie asked, her eyes boring into Zoltar. "And the flood in Southern? And the strange happenings in Central?" She pulled out a smartphone, typed something, and showed Zoltar the screen. "There's my proof, boy." On the screen was a volcano from Eastern Kingdom erupting, due to an earthquake. She scrolled on the phone. The flood and some runes on a wall. "If you don't believe me, I'm gonna tell you that these are connected. Eventually... well, I don't know exactly what's gonna happen, but it's gonna be bad, and only the ones that can survive are gonna be us. Snow-Fire. If you still don't believe me, go back to lunch."

"Hmm..." As Zoltar thinks he doesn't seem to notice Baron approach him, and doesn't even hear him speak. He rubs his forehead as he replies. "I don't know about this, but I guess it isn't worth the risk...my dad's a head scientist in a influential company. I could get him to -" As he notices Baron, however, he stares him down with his emerald green eyes. "Do you mind? We're talking about something important here." He turns back to Josie. "As I was about to say, I could get my dad to look into it. Should I call him?"

Elch was unfazed by the threat, when she was done he chuckled before taking a drag of the cigarette. He sighed as he exhaled the smoke, he turned to his student with a hint of a smile before motioning for them to follow him.
"You may take your food if you wish." Elch said mainly to Asura. He walked into his classroom making sure that the two students were following. When they got there he pointed to two empty chairs in front of his desk.
"Now. Please explain why you were late to class." Elch said simply flicking the ash off of his cigarette.

Smoke laughed but kept eating her scraps. He had some fall onto his snout that he'd failed to catch. He couldn't get it off, he was struggling to get it off before he decided to look up at you for help.
"Ummm...can you put that in my mouth please?" He said softly.

 

[SolemnSongbird]

Lucia let out an aggravated sigh. "Sir, not to be rude but I already explained why I was late to class to you earlier. My pet had escaped from my room, and I was attempting to find it. With all due respect, sir, my pet is a thunderbird, if left loose it could cause quite a bit of havoc, and possibly a few quite painful deaths if it decided it would be fun to just electrocute some random unsuspecting students. Not many beings tend to be all that resistant to electricity, as far as I know at least. So, you can see why I had a perfectly good reason for being late to class."

[zenreaper]

Asura, instead of sitting stood "I was retrieving my sword" Asura said truthfully. He had to retrieve it before he could summon it because he had to draw it first."oh and speaking of your thunder bird she gave me a pretty good shock earlier"

[h2h0e]

"Your dad is a supervillan. I don't think so." Josie said plainly. "So are you in or out?"
The Fabulous Emerald

Fallon laughed again and put the food in Smoke's mouth. She noticed his mouth was still injured from when she poked it with a spear. "Hey, does your mouth hurt still? I can hal it for you, if you want," she offered.

"Excuse me? He's a respectable guy who makes an honest living creating household equipment."

Zoltar is a bit insulted by this. Just because he looks like Dr. Eggman doesn't mean he is Dr. Eggman.

"But sure, whatever. What do you want me to do, exactly?"

Elch listened a small smile crossing his face. He had forgotten, yes, but that wasn't important. He had gotten a reaction, now he was starting to gain control.
"Yes you're correct. You did say that and yes that is a good reason to be late. However later that very same class, I also remember having to hand you a change of clothes. Then afterwards you decided to metaphorically give me the finger and went straight to the cafeteria instead of coming here first as directed. And the grand finale of you attempting to make this class Hell for not only yourself, but for Mr. Asura and myself, was you threatening me. Now, explain yourself little girl." Elch said never pausing. All the way through he was calm and direct. His voice smooth and strong never once showing anger or any such emotion.

"Your dad is a supervillan. I don't think so." Josie said plainly. "So are you in or out?"

"Nope! Its ok. Thank you though. If you want to though my Mom used to kiss my wounds to make them feel better." Smoke said this playfully. He winked at her, once again playfully.

 

[zenreaper]

"I..uh...the cloths thing was completely my fault..." Asura admitted "while we were fighting I accidentally kinda on purpose set her on fire with plasma" Asura spoke as if asking a question to nobody in particular "also if anything she makes class interesting for me"

Elch said never pausing. All the way through he was calm and direct. His voice smooth and strong never once showing anger or any such emotion.

Lucia rolled her eyes. "First off, there's a perfectly good explanation for the incident in question. During me and Asura's combat training practice, he ended up setting me on fire through the use of plasma, and then knocked me unconscious while I was still on fire. I'm going to hazard a guess that he ended up putting out said flames after knocking me out at one point, but when I regained consciousness I was in the state you had seen me in. Also, I was not threatening you, that was simply me stating a fact. And also admittedly I did forget to come here first after class. That admittedly was my mistake."

 

[WilliamDeen]

Baron had felt some pretty cold temperature before, but the cold shoulder he got from this guy was just chilling. Both of them barely even acknowledged him. Was it the witch? Was her magic making him less noticeable? If it was, then it was bullshit. He stamped his foot down. "In fact, I DO mind! I thought this was pretty important and that's exactly why I spoke up! So what, the worlds ending?! What's that all about?! Lady, what's going on?" He turned his attention to the woman, trying to get some answers. The Fabulous Emerald h2h0e

Elch looked to Asura and nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Asura for owning up to your mistake. You may leave if you choose to." Elch towards Lucia. He heard her say 'simply stating a fact.' and a smile broke out upon his face. "Do you truly believe you could make my existence miserable? That you could hurt me, no scratch that, that you could even lay a finger on me? Then let me promise you something. The next time you threaten, Hell the next time you even look at me wrong I will skin you alive and hang your still talking head on my wall. You can survive with out your body, so it'd make my day to see you slip into insanity while stapled to a wall. You'd do well to remember that, little girl." Elchs eyes betrayed no emotion, there was only the smile on his face.

 

[zenreaper]

Asura chose to stay beside Lucia but listening to elch speak rubbed him the wrong way. He said nothing although the carved runes on his body glowed ever so slightly, enough to be noticeable, showing his mild frustration.

Lucia sighs, shaking her head. "Who said I have to hurt you? Sorry to burst your self-indulgent bragging bubble here, sir, but, you seem to be missing the obvious. If I actually wanted to make your existence miserable, which at the moment I currently don't, I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. In fact, were I to record half of the things you just said here, I could turn practically anyone I wanted against you without even having to convince them. You see, misery comes not from pain, but from being lambasted and hated by everyone. Someone who threatens to skin female students alive and staple them to the wall and hang their heads on their wall would be quite easy to get others to hate, or possibly even turn nearly the whole school against if I was really trying. Go ahead and threaten me all you want, but, I was simply stating the facts. I will not allow anybody to touch me without permission or without a very good reason. To say I don't despise you would be a lie, but I'm not here to be an issue. I'm here to learn. I was simply stating what will happen to you, or for that matter anybody who touches me without my permission or without a very good reason. Ahem, sorry if I was being a bit rude while rambling on there, but, you're really just missing the point of what I said. I have honestly no idea why you, a teacher, someone whom I normally would at least attempt to respect and have absolutely no issue with is deciding to be such an evil malicious bastard, but, you really seem to have it out for me. Even though the only thing I did wrong was arrive late for class. Huh. I'm done discussing this with you. If you will excuse me, I'm going to inquire at the office about being moved to a different class, preferably one with a less PSYCHOTIC teacher. And you can be sure I will be telling someone of authority exactly what you just told me word for word." She says before making a mad dash out of the room, not as much out of fear but moreso to prevent the teacher from stopping her from leaving.

"It's Alas, Babylon," Gabe said as he closed the cover of the book just enough to show the masked girl what title was etched into its spine. Ensuring there was clarity in case he had pronounced it wrong. "If you like apocalyptic novels I would suggest it," He shifted uncomfortably in his seat when he noticed how more students began to fill the mess hall than before, taking to the assumption lunch had started. His attention rolled around the room for moment until he eased farther from the table, "I think I'm going to take my leave. It is getting a bit too crowded for me." He finally stood and grabbed the empty plate with his free hand, giving a slight wave with book-filed one as he walked off, "It was nice to meet you, Maskie. Be seein' you around." AbsentRaven

Gabriel was quick to put the plate off and worm his way out of the mess hall to somewhere less confined and compacted. He made his way outside and lazily flopped onto grass. The time difference between this area and his home with added sleep depravity had been slowly catching up with him as the day passed and it only worsened as he laid there beneath the warmth of the sun. It was an inviting opportunity for sleep, but he needed to focus on something in order to do so. So, he decided upon taking his sword from his side and toying with it as he waited for the drowsiness to take over. When he did finally doze off into a cat nap he was cradled to his katana, a little drool escaping the left edge of his mouth.

 

[zenreaper]

Asura felt a bit awkward being left with elch in such a tense situation. The glowing runes on his body slowly died down" I..uh..I'm just gonna after her.." He spoke as he quickly left the room catching up to Lucia "that was quite the discussion back there"
SolemnSongbird ZappiestAbyss

 

[SolemnSongbird]

Lucia stopped running in the mess hall. "I hate that teacher so much right now. I did absolutely nothing, and I repeat nothing to warrant the actions he claimed he would take. That discussion was nothing more than a rambling rant, but, after lunch and...possibly after my next class since I'd rather avoid being late to all my classes today, I'm going to go to the office and do what I said. And if possible I will repeat exactly what that imbecilic bastard of a teacher threatened to do to me to the headmaster or headmistress of the school, whichever they may be, if I can manage to actually get an audience with them." Lucia ranted, quite obviously tense and angry. "He had absolutely no right to touch me against my will, regardless of whether it was just a small shoulder tap, and he definitely had no right to make those horrid disgusting threats just because I stood up to myself!" She was getting more than a little bit worked up about all this.

Elchs smile grew a bit and he sighed softly.
"I don't think I'm even mad, I'm more dissapointed really." Elch said mostly to himself. He looked at Asura as if he'd forgotten that he was even there. "Yes yes go chase after her." He said dismissively. He looked at the rusty sword stabbed into the ground outside.
"Psychotic? Not far from it. Oh well, let her tell whoever she pleases. I'm ok with no one liking me, Hell let them all hate me. Nothing new for me, being the 'monster' that I am." Elch thought this to himself. He got up and walked outside. He touched the sword and watched the flames at its base die out. He pulled out from the Earth and brought it inside.
