Fantasy The Academy _Dropped _

[One Mean Ghost]

Dante slumped through the halls of the school. "That... woman... is.... brutal....." He grumbled, his headphones uncharacteristically around his neck instead of on his head. He shuddered, recalling how he made it to class just in time. He had thought he was in the clear... But that... she-devil of a teacher...


He shuddered as he remembered the sharp crack of her meter stick on the top of his head. She had taken offense to him wearing headphones in class....


He sniffled a little as he pulled his headphones off his neck to look at them. "Why did she have to hurt you? You were innocent!" He hugged the headphones against his chest, a deep crack along the headband threatening to end the life of his precious headphones.





-I need to find some tape or something until I can find a way to fix it long term....- He thought to himself, looking around at other classrooms. He stopped outside of one room, the door left open but, from what he could see at least, no class in session. He cautiously peeked his head in, "Anyone in here?" He called, before he answered his own question, seeing the coffee-shower girl from earlier.





"Sorry to bother you, but by any chance is there some tape or something in here?" He asked glancing at the desks for any sign of it, his wings fidgeting anxiously on his back as he holds his damaged headphones close to his chest, as if protecting a small child, his eyes still a little watery at the thought of them breaking forever. What would he do without his music? How would he survive?! Would this be the day the music died?!

After a few attempts, the palm's of her hands were covered in soot and ash. "I'll never get this one.." She says quietly to herself. Looking back down at her book she sighs and closes it, deciding to take a break. Wiping her hands off the best she can on a red handkerchief that she kept in her schoolbag. Looking back down at her hands, blisters covered her palms with second degree burns. Just because one could control fire, did not mean they were not hurt by it. Carefully, she brings her two hands close together. But not to close so they were touching. A small ball of flames appears between them. After a moment, she pulls her hands apart. The small ball of flame danced in her right hand, and she gently pushed it into the air. The ball floated there, dancing and crackling. Putting her hands up to it, the pain subsides, as does the little ball of flame. She looks back down at the palms of her hands. They had returned to the normal, soft skin that had been there before.


Once again, the same voice filled the air from before. This caused Masumi to jump like a small cat, but without the fall and heat of coffee on her this time. She turns to see the siren standing in the door way, acquiring about tape. "You know." She started. "You really need to stop sneaking up like this." Finishing her statement in a rather annoyed tone. Sighing, she walks over to him. "I don't think so. Why do you need tape?" She asked. The closer she got to the boy, the more obvious it was that he was about to start balling. Taking a notice to his headphones, she stops. They seemed to be cracked in half. Were they that important to him? Masumi takes a deep breath and smiles at the boy. "Here, let me see them."

"I don't sneak though... I just forget to knock..." He pouted a little bit, watching her approach him. He seemed to tense up visibly when she asked for his headphones. Unsure, he looked from the headphones and back to her a few times before taking a deep breath, carefully holding his damaged friend out to her.


"Please be careful with them..." He bit his lip anxiously. Indeed, those headphones were important to him. About as important as his own life. It wasn't just the music. Any headphones could give him music. Those headphones could never be replaced... It was the last thing he had to remember his mother...


A siren is always either listening to or performing something musical. It is just part of their nature, and his mother was no exception. She was always listening to music or singing it, and his home always had music playing. The issue arose when she had to go out for errands. She would accidentally hypnotize anyone that heard her sing, and playing music in public tended to annoy people... So one day, his father bought her those headphones, so she could enjoy her music wherever she went and not worry about accidentally hypnotizing their neighbors.


When she ended her life, she was holding them in her hand...


It was the only memento Dante managed to secure before his house was destroyed by the exorcists, seeking to fully purge his family's existence from the area. It was all he had left of them. When he wore them, it reminded him of home, where the music always played...

Taking the headphones carefully into her hands, she looks down at them. It seemed that the headband was almost snapped in half, and made of plastic. Examining the headphones more she speaks up. "Well, next time knock, please.." Looking up at him, she offers a smile. She couldn't guarantee the safety of anyone who startled her in this room. Most likely they, or herself would explode. She looks back down at the headphones. These were obviously important to the siren, so utmost care was needed with this procedure. If she broke them, or made a mistake, she would feel awful. Most likely she would never be able to look this boy in the again without feeling so.


Walking over to the desk where her book rested, she sets the headphones down. Picking up her book she puts it back into her school bag and takes a seat at the desk, and once again picks up the headphones. She looks them over one last time before she holds them in her left hand. Then, raising her right hand up to them, she holds out her index finger. A small flame appeared on the tip of her finger. Concentrating on the flame, it grew a little stronger, and a little stronger. Carefully, she holds the flame up to the headband, and allows the plastic to start to melt. It might not look pretty, but it should hold if she did it right. After a few moments, satisfied with the amount of melted plastic, she pushes the two pieces together and holds them there allowing it to cool, and dry. Once satisfied with the solidity of the band, she reaches into her school bag and pulls out a nail file. Kinda a stupid thing to carry around, but they were pretty handy. Carefully, once again, she starts to file down the excess plastic that stuck out of the crack. Not perfect, but better than broken. Smiling at her work she stands back up and holds the headphones back out to the boy "There! Good as new..ish.."

It may not have been perfect, but it sure seemed that way to Dante. When she was done, the fix was hardly noticeable to him. The important thing was that they were fixed and he wouldn't have to worry about them being completely broken.


"Th-thank you so much... I owe you big time for this.." He smiled even as a tear rolled down his cheek. He carefully placed them back around his neck, pulling the loose part of his half pony tail free from the band so it flowed over the headphones as they settled on his neck. Just putting them on seemed to relax him, as if a great tension suddenly was released from him. Even his wings seemed to fluff up with new life as he rested a hand on one of the ear covers.





"If there's ever anything I can do for you, just ask. It's the least I can do to repay you for this.." He doubted she realized just how much this meant to him. She had basically returned his connection to his mother when he feared it could be lost forever.

Lilian had just finished up the song when a voice came out form behind her, it sounding like a girl before she turned to see who it was. She recognized the girl that stood before her, her having something to do with the student council or government...etc. She blinked a few times and then answered the question the girl asked her, expressionless as always, "Books." Her answer was short and to the point, but really that was pretty much expected from her right? With that said she turned back to the piano and just started to play something random, it being a bit more softer than the last one.


"Do you require something of me?" She simply asked the girl, slightly wondering why she was in the room at the moment...seeing as how it was usually vacant when she came in last year. The reason for that being-most likely-because she was free at a different time last year, she figured. She had yet to learn the girls name so she simply awaited the inevitable meet and greet that would probably follow, perhaps...

The look on the Siren's face causes a smile to appear on Masumi's face. She was glad that he was thrilled, and that she could help him with his problem. People usually just walked over her, or used her caring attitude to their advantage. But so far, most of the people she had meet seemed very kind also. "Your welcome." Pulling her book back out, she sets it back on the desk and flips it open to where she had it before. "Of course, I'll be sure to let you know." She responds to his offer, it was sweet of him to say. Turning back to the siren she looks him over. The boy seemed much more relaxed now, which was good. Putting her hands on the desk behind her, she lifts herself up onto it and sits next to her book. "Oh! Make sure to knock next time!" She exclaimed, winking at him. "I don't think I'd be able to fix a crack in you." She joked. Looking back down at her book, she reads it over one last time. "Firefly.." She says to herself. This was the new pyromancy she was trying to learn. Apparently, if done right. It would allow her to summon "Firefly's" that would either shield her, or attack an target. It sounded mystical, and awesome at the same time. Though, she had been working on it for almost half a year and hadn't made any progress. "If you don't mind, I'd like to be alone to practice." This was her attempt at politely asking him to leave. Mostly for his own safety, as pyromancy was a very unstable forum of magic.





@One Mean Ghost

 

[One Mean Ghost]

Dante couldn't help but laugh when she mentioned potentially breaking him. "I wouldn't worry too much about that. I'm just a bit tougher than plastic" He remarked with a bit of a cocky smirk on his lips. The smile faded a little when she asked him to leave.





-It's probably for the best though....-





"Fair enough. I need to get some practice in myself. I want to get good enough to use my demon magic without blowing stuff up when I try" He shakes his head with a grin. He was part demon, so some degree of demon magic use was generally expected of him, but he could barely even perform a basic demon fire spell without blowing something up....


Most people hardly even believed he was a demon. He was constantly confused with angels and fallen angels, and those that DID peg him as siren never realized he was a demon unless he used his Demon Arm, and since he wasn't one to start fights, those instances were few and far between. He just took after his mother more than his father it seemed...


He left his headphones off, heading towards the door. "If you need me, I'm sure you'll be able to find me. And yes, I'll knock next time" He glances over his shoulder at her, giving her a wink much like the one she gave him before he exits, closing the door behind him as he heads down the hall.


-Looks like this is gonna be an interesting year...- He smiles at this thought as he pulls his headphones over his ears, wandering the halls for now as he hums a tune to himself, forgetting that him singing or humming tends to carry and have some sort of effect, usually very minor, on those that hear it. As he wandered, he made his way past the office, still humming to the song playing through his headphones.

  Alexandria raised an eyebrow at how the white-haired girl reacted, her words seemed innocent enough, but the way she said them made her question herself. Was it just her mind grabbing at nothing or was she trying to tell her to leave? Was she being a nuisances to the stoic girl? Interesting... the girl thought to herself, trying to decide how to react to a situation like this, as she had never been caught in one similar to this. True, she had to deal with a few...unpleasant individuals who were more on the ruder side, but nothing like with a stoic personality before, maybe that was why Alexandria saw her alone today when going to go eat? "A name would be nice" the pink haired girl smiled lightly, hoping that she could break the ice a bit; seeing how it looked like she might be receiving the cold shoulder...or maybe not.

The playing stopped as she looked over her shoulder, figuring that a variation of the question would come up. She had seen her around but the name of the girl escapes her, seeing as how she usually sees her doing some task assigned to the student council. It would be really easy to mistake her for faculty rather than a student. With that in mind she didn't see a problem in telling her, "Lilian Alucard," she simply stated her eyes looking back at her them rather vibrant in the dark room they found themselves in. Her hands now sit in her lap as she turns around on the bench looking dead at Alexandria, a few blinks followed by, "And what is your monicure?"


Seeing as how she had been presented with the opportunity to get to know someone else she figured she might as well take advantage of the chance. This girl was probably in her last year and more likely to have free time than most around, seeing how most council members would need to have breaks form classes to attend to duties. Associating with someone like this would be an interesting endeavor, even if she ends up being a jerk...although Lilian highly doubts that will be the case.

Hide

​

Hide gently glided towards the entrance of The Academy, a smile resting on his tinted face as he enjoys the breeze, he lands without a sound and softly strolls inside of the school 'this place gives off a rather homey vibe' he thinks to himself as he walks under a doorway with the sign OFFICE above.


"Um... hello? I'm here to g... get my schedule" He timidly says.


"Of course dear, may I know your name" A overly excited women replies to him.


"It's H... Hide"


"The plant boy, of course, here it is" The women hands him a folded piece of paper.


Hide nods his head graciously and walks backwards out the door, bumping into something or someone on the ways, he trips and falls onto a blanket of flowers he summoned last minute.


"S... Sorry he says to the figure, I d... didn't mean too"





@One Mean Ghost

 

[One Mean Ghost]

Dante jumped just a little when he bumped into something that gave way rather easily, his wings fluffing up just a touch. The impact snapped him out of his daydreaming as he looked down to see a boy had fallen into.... flowers? Inside?


"I d...didn't mean too" Dante shook his head, coming back to reality. "No, it's my fault for not watching where I was going" He apologizes, reaching down and lifting the boy back to his feet. "I'm Dante by the way, sorry again for knocking you over." He flashed an apologetic smile, before noticing the schedule in the boy's hand.





"I take it you're a new transfer?"


@Col

 

[Col]

"It... it's alright, I should have w... watched where I was going, yeah, I'm the n... new transfer" Hide shivers at the boy's touch and softly, almost unnoticeably slinks back a step, "It's n... nice to meet you, my n... name is Hide," he gently lifts his hand into a handshake.

 

[One Mean Ghost]

-It seems this one might be as delicate as the flowers he surrounds himself with...-





Dante shook the boy's hand, careful not to squeeze to hard and scare him. "Nice to meet you, Hide." Dante's smile didn't fade at all, hoping the friendly gesture would encourage the newcomer to relax a little. "Have you gotten settled in yet, or was this your first stop?" The siren inquired, his head tilted a little out of his curiosity. It almost seemed like Dante was staring at the boy, but that should be expected. His headphones were still on, the music still playing, audible just barely to those around him. He was just reading lips, and thankfully he was quite skilled at it.

  Alexandria continued to smile as the girl revealed who she was, Lilian Alucard, it was a start, perhaps she could continue on? "Alucard? Like, the vampire Alucard?" she asked in confusion, but as well curiosity. It intrigued her a bit, was she dealing wit ha vampire? If so, it didn't look like it; the girl didn't seem to have fangs. Unless, they were retractable? That didn't seem likely, but the possibilities began to run through her mind. For a few moments, she was in her own little world of what if's, but Lilian's voice brought her back to the real world. She smiled a bit before holding up her hand to shake, "The name's Alexandria, I'm a senior on the student council, it's a pleasure to meet you Lilian" she spoke in a light hearted manner, offering a formal greeting to the girl she had approached not too long ago. Her hopes may be high, but she seemed like a nice person to be friends with; and most definitely someone who was very interesting.

"O... oh, yeah, uh, no, sorry I s... still need to go to my d... dorm and settle in," Hide gently lifts his hand and a miniature flower garden appears beside him holding a few bags, he lowers his hand and the flowers disappear, "Um, do you h... happen to know where the d... dorms are located?"

 

[One Mean Ghost]

Dante laughed softly. "It'd be pretty bad if a senior didn't know. No worries, I'll show you where they are." He remarked, slipping his headphones down around his neck so he could hear if the boy tried to ask questions while they walked. The Siren turned and motioned for Hide to follow, walking towards the big wooden double doors leading to the outside. "So I get the impression your abilities have a lot to do with flowers?" He inquired, hoping that an ongoing conversation could help the boy relax a little bit. Unfortunately, given the types of people that attend this Academy, no doubt there are several people who would push someone like Hide around given the chance, especially if he kept acting like a scared little rabbit...

Hide softly walked after Dante, "Y... yeah, too tell y... you the truth I am originally a E... Electric Purple D... Dusk Rose, I became a d... dryad just a mere s... sixteen years a... ago, but I am t... two hundred y... years old," he replied, "But I rely on flowers a... as I am n... not very good with e... electricity," he raises his hand and a large flower garden grows rapidly around him, he seems to concentrate and stem-less flowers rise under him, making him float.

Lilian looked at Alexandria's hand for a moment, her not really minding hand shakes but they were not really normal to her. With that in mind she simply extended her hand and shook Alex's hand her responding to the aforementioned , "No I do not have a vamperic ancestry." She pauses as she retracts the hand shake and places her hands in her lap yet again, clarifying what she was. She figured that was going to be the next query, it seeming to be the next logical one for Alex to ask. "My mother is Darkness incarnate, Anastasia also more widely known as 'The Deep Dark,' my father is human."


She sits on the bench and then the piano suddenly starts to play yet again, although this time hands from the darkness were playing the notes.


[media]



[/media]
This being her power that she had acquired from her mother, the ability to manipulate darkness in any form as she wills. With that occurring she simply states as she sits there the sound going on in the background, "Half demon and half human, darkness manipulation."

 

[One Mean Ghost]

"Two Hundred? Well you got me beat by one hundred eighty-two years." Dante laughed softly as he shook his head before watching Hide floating on the flowers next to him.





"Impressive.. Don't worry about the electricity thing though. I'm supposed to be able to use demon magic but I can barely do the most basic spells without blowing something up" He smiled over at Hide to reassure him. He knew firsthand how daunting it could be to show up and not have all your abilities up to snuff. When he first arrived, Dante couldn't do ANY demonic spells, exploding or otherwise. So he had made progress at least...


Of course, he didn't consider that admitting he was in some way a demon may scare Hide...

  Alexandria listened o Lilian's explanation of what she was, what she could do, who her parents are; the whole shebang, and to think she didn't have to ask her to open up, yet here she was, spilling her whole heritage and what not. She smiled as she listened to her play, it was quite beautiful, man how she wished she could play an instrument like that, but alas, she was talentless in that aspect of her life. Her eyes widened as Lilian began to show off her powers of darkness manipulation, it only made sense she could do that; being part demon and all. Now why couldn't other darkness users be this pleasant to talk to, unlike a particular guy she knew... After she finished playing with her darkness hands, Alexandria clapped in an excited manner, "Wow that's so cool" she commented to Lilian before using one of her hands to move some of her hair to reveal her elven ear, "Me myself, I'm just a high elf" explained the pink haired girl before reaching into her pocket and producing a pen; a few moments later it transforming into a Tennis ball. In reality, she just picked the first thing that came to her mind, but it worked out either way. "I can transmute just about anything when I want to" Alexandria explained before passing the ball to Lilian, by a underhand toss, for her to inspect if she wished to.

Lilian caught the ball in her right hand and looked down at it, her saying aloud with a single blink down at it, "A form of matter manipulation." She nods and then tosses the ball back to Alex underhanded, "I have read a bit about such things although it seems you use a form different that most." She pauses and then simply stands from the bench, her being rather short compared to Alexandria. Lilian double blinked up at Alexandria, her then adding with a slight tilt to her head, it being rather cute even though she didn't offer any expression, "Just a high elf?" She reaches up and touches her ears quite suddenly without any kind of warning, "They seem no different than I."


She simply shrugs and scratches her cheek, not getting some comments that people make around this school. By saying that she is just a high elf implies the premise that she somehow things she is less than some, which doesn't make much sense to Lilian. After a moment of pondering she adds with a nod, "You're Alex, what you are is inconsequential." Quite frankly what someone is doesn't even really register to Lilian, her completely capable of having a conversation with anyone as long as they are not straight jerk-wads.

Hide gave a quick smile, "I... I have n... never been g... good with electricity, b... but then again, then o... only electric magic E... Electric Purple D...

I know through e... experiments," Hide seems to especially stutter over the word experiments, as if It brought back bad memories.

It didn't take too long to reach the dorms. Before long they were standing outside of the multi-story brick building that held the dorms. "This is the guy's dorms. I'm in room 237 if you ever have questions, though I'm only in there at night. Most of the time you'll find me up a tree during the day or wandering around" Dante remarks looking over at Hide. He couldn't help but notice the extra stammering on the word experiments. He was a siren, sound was kind of his thing.


-Another one with a dark past.. Probably better if I don't press him on it too much just yet...-





"If anyone gives you any trouble, just let me know. I've got a really, really nasty left hook they'll have to answer to" Dante flashes a cocky smirk as he holds up his left fist. He couldn't help it. He knew better than most what it was like to be alone in a cruel world... He didn't want others to feel how he used to feel before he got stronger...





"Well, I'll leave you alone to get settled in, if you need me, just come find me. I'm always somewhere."

Hide smiles again, "Thanks" he says and walks away, looking down at his note, he saw that he was in room 252, sighing, he walks into the hallway and up the stairs, he gently unlocks and pushing into his room door, settling he looks down at his schedule, he sees that he has only optional classes, deciding to stay inside for a while he jumps into his bed and falls asleep.
