Fantasy The Tudor Lestrange Institute of Villainy and Henchmanship - Main

Lucia to two random NPCs & whoever else is in the main hall

Lucia busted open the front doors dramatically, the selkie stomping into the main hall on towering platforms with several armfuls of bags and a cheerful bellow.
"I am LATE!" she declared triumphantly to the mostly-empty room, whose reaction was...sub-par, to say the least. A single person sitting in the corner hesitantly started clapping— before being kicked in the ribs by a bitter-looking blue human standing nearby. Lou-Lou, not seeming to notice the glares she was getting, flashed them all a bright white smile and a friendly wave before hoisting up her bags and continuing through the hall towards the dorms.

X

Interactions: @Beetlbuggo (Kupi) StrixDesmodus (Vex) FuzzySheep12 (Piper) Huntertabbysandshark3 (Oolart)

X watched as another tank attempted to introduce themselves with a bark akin to a dog- it was in his opinion- pathetic- no finely engineered war machine should be reduced to the mind of a sniveling creature- canines and tanks were useful in what they were- cross them together and it creates an abomination. Unless... he took the time to quickly place a bug on the girl and the vulture- the crashing of the tank gave him an opportunity where it would not be noticed- it was tiny- only after the clothes were being folded would they notice it- best case scenario they would be destroyed in the washing machine after he had gotten whatever he needed out of them- worst case scenario they noticed and became aggressive- regardless- Oolart would notice he just had to see what their actions were afterwards. He turned to her and flashed another artificial smile- common ground among the two of them actually- no matter in which way they smiled- it would seem more as the baring of ones teeth. He closed his lips over his teeth soon afterwards- opening the door to his dorm. Its was surprisingly elegant in a simplistic way. A large common room in the center- carpeted of course- with six doors on the sides- two led to bathrooms that were very contemporary for an old castle such as this- a double sink front and center with a mirror- a small cabinet below allowing the storage of medicine and then on either side frosted glass doors that led to a toilet and shower. The same blueprint was mirrored on the right side of the dorm. The bathrooms were located in between two separate bedrooms- again mirrored on either side- at the left bottommost corner sat a kitchenette- for what he assumed to be in case students did not gather anything from the cafeteria. X hoped to use this- he was only just trying new foods after all- his whole childhood had been spent studying and eating nutritional blocks. On the right side- there was a washer and dryer- with a couple shelves placed above them. At the far side of the room sat an electric-powered fireplace. and on either side yet another door- one was a sliding glass one and the other a heavy metal door. The glass door led to a balcony- while the metal door entered a small office-like space with a window overlooking the campus- this room satisfied X. He placed down his briefcases and began preparing for his day- grabbing the pamphlet he was handed and checking the schedule.

Malik Bruschnov
Interaction/Mention: Knott ( StrixDesmodus ) Artem+Kupi ( Volkie ) Hallway Crew, Autumn( FuzzySheep12 )
Location: Dorm Halls ==> Dorm Room

"A... Pegasus?"

That left Malik concerned for a moment, because it was either a pet or his roommate. Lestrange had a large and varied student body, with few students looking the same especially on the lower ends of the food chain. Even though it was his first year, he'd seen enough strange and otherworldly creatures at the entrance speech to prepare for whatever his roommates were. But even then, a Pegasus? Malik closed his eyes and gave a brief prayer to the Higher Powers, begging that it was his roommate and not a pet. If it was just going to take up space then he'd be fine with it, despite how ridiculous the prospect of speaking to what essentially was a horse with wings felt.

Oddly, compared to speaking to slime people and literal talking trees, it was speaking to equines that got him worried. Perhaps it was because his cousin back in the homeland was crazy about horses, and he'd spent many long uncomfortable days watching her make googoo gaga noises at them, but he was sure that no matter what things would get fairly uncomfortable once he entered that room.

Despite that, Malik couldn't help wondering why exactly this fellow seemed so eager to get in. Was he just that curious, or was this an instance of the nefarious minds of the Tudor Lestrange Studentry putting their complicated plans for glory into action.

Instead of being able to consider the implications of each, Malik was distracted by that tank from earlier. It was smaller now, much smaller. The knocking student seemed distracted as well, but Malik couldn't exactly blame him. The tank was putting decorative boxes before each door, leaving one beside Malik's dorm as well. One look at the note seemed to claim that inside was a gift from comrade Artem. While Malik could at least appreciate that another child of the homeland was in attendance, he disregarded the box. For even a Comrade could become a dangerous enemy, inside this school especially.

Besides, the door Knocker had knocked once more, and Malik grew tense waiting with him for the supposed occupant to answer. Except they didn't, not right away at least, and the hallways was quickly becoming populated with other students attempting to enter their dorms. A group nearby was forming of these students, and yet the SmileCo girl was not among them.

She'd bounced ahead a while ago, so why could he not be hearing her exaggerated tones? Had se gotten diverted, or was Sunny Smiles actually being quiet?

Another smaller tank was surveying the rooms for a second before stopping before one and waiting. Its movements were not like that of Artem, which was good because for a second Malik had assumed the original tank had simply shrunk once again.

But no, this was not the movements of a simple machine, it was far too... canine.

This discrepancy only increased as it approached Malik and the door knocker and openly barked at them. Malik's eyes narrowed in suspicion, but the knocker was quick to respond. This prompted the dog tank to begin speaking of its master and the gift he had left. Malik didn't want to speak, but did roll his eyes and heft up the box. It didn't explode in his grasp, which was good, so he gave a nod to the dog just as it bounded over to the other group.

"Ugh, perhaps it is doing the napping, boy." Malik turned on the door knocker before hefting the box in one hand and using the other to open the door "It my dorm as well, might as well slake your curiosity before it kills you."

Opening the door to the dorm, Malik wasn't too surprised that the Knocker's words turned out to be true. Well... partially true. Instead of a simple Pegasus, the creature he found within his dorm also had a horn which glowed with magical power. But Malik kept his expression straight, figuring he might as well cross the hurdle as soon as possible.

"Oi!" he called out to the Horned-Pegasus "I assume you are to be roommate?"

He nodded to the knocker behind him, "This one was much curious of your presence."

Sunny Smiles
Interaction/Mention: Hallway Crew, Taris ( Karcen ) Thora ( FuzzySheep12 )
Location: Hallways==> Dorm Room​

Sunny had gotten held up on the way to her dorm, but it was okay because she was with a friend!

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU RETURNED MY CALLS?!?!"

Sure, it might've been a very loud friend, but Sunny liked to think he just had lots of spirit.

In a hall branching from the Dorms, she'd been pulled aside by yet another massive student. This one, much like the Overlord Trio outside, was decked out head to toe in massive black battle armor with red eyes which left trails of smoke in the air. His twisted gauntlets were shaped into claws which dripped a suspiciously blood-like substance on the floor whenever he moved. And he moved to keep his eyes on her, because she still had her dear buddy GRUS working. She was bouncing right in front of him, without even having to move much herself. Every time she landed she just bounced right back in the air as he shifted his to watch her.

"I told you, buddy!" Sunny bounced up and booped the center of his jagged metal faceplate "You never asked me about schoolwork, it was always help me destroy this village or the peasants need torturing again or, when can we see a mauling together. Its not really productive for either of our academic interests!"

"YOU SAID, I COULD CALL WHENEVER!!!" his deep voice echoed through the hall as he waved a bloody hand and splattered the droplets across a nearby window "YET THIS IS FIRST TIME WE TALK IN MONTHS!!!"

Wherever the bloody substance dripped, two deformed, mutated humanoids in lanky janitor outfits would mop up using literal mops and buckets. They were really helpful, but Sunny didn't want to make her buddy feel angrier by playing with them.

"Well I'm sorry, buddy, I said 'Whenever you need help with School.'" She leaned forward and tapped her cheek for emphasis "I've got lives to save, and your methods of fun aren't really conducive to that. I'm sure you know this, Buddy."

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" he growled "USE MY NAME!!!"

"Ya sure? I think Buddy sounds way cooler than-"

"USE IT!!!"

Sunny pouted, but nodded, "Fine, just for you Death Lord."

"SAY IT RIGHT!!!" Death Lord ordered, only for Sunny to roll her eyes.

"deathL0rd69." she sighed, crossing her arms as deathL0rd69 finally took a breath.

"FRIEND... PLEASE UNDERSTAND" he pounded his chest before reaching for her "COULD BE SO MUCH TOGETHER!!! WHY YOU NOT SEE?!?"

There it was, Sunny had figured this conversation was in her near future. That didn't mean she wasn't still surprised how quickly it came.

"I just don't think either of us are ready for a relationship, deathL0rd69." Sunny shook her head before shrugging "And we've both just got so much work to do. Even without school; I've got fun charities to fund, endangered animals to rescue, and you've got the whole thing with conquering your Homeland. I'm just not sure where we could fit in a really super duper like-like together thing."

"YOU WRONG!!!" deathL0rd69 stomped a massive foot on the ground, heavy enough to break the floor "ONE DAY YOU SEE YOU WRONG!!!"

Sunny bounced backwards and did a spin, "Maybe one day, Buddy!" She gave a wink "But I'm super late with meeting up with my new besties! So it'll have be another time!"

She bounced away as deathL0rd69 called after her, "RESPOND TO CALLS!!!"

Checking the time on her nifty nuerolink stuff, Sunny gasped upon realizing that she really was late by a whole two minutes! She was sure that she'd be having the time of her life with her new besties by now. Instead, when she finally reached the dorms again, she found that she was way behind so many other people who were chatting and having good times. She had to make up for it immediately.

And so she bounced through the crowd of students, weaving her way in between them while giving greetings the entire time. But instead of what she did for her big dark pal, she didn't even pause to give them a chance to respond. She bounced right towards the dorm she was supposed to have and whipped open the door before sliding to a stop amidst her two roommates. She remembered both of them from the Entrance speech that Dr. P made, although she didn't get to hang out with them like she did with Gator-boy and Kiawe.

So before the door was even fully closed, she was whipping her bag around in front of her and jamming her thumb against a button on the side.

"Hello hello, roomies!" she said as the bag started spewing forth little floating spherical drones with gleaming smiles on them that immediately set to work cleaning the room "So sorry I was late, one of my good friends just couldn't help talking to me and I totally almost forgot I was to be meeting my new B.N.R.Bs!"

She tossed the bag on the only untaken bed before bounding up and down with joy, "Oh man! I am just stoked about getting to know you~!" she sang before several of the floating drones circled around her "I'm Sunny Smiles, and I'm so ready for the year!"

She finally came to a stop, spreading her arms wide before giving a series of small claps. The bag on her bed proceeded to open up, exposing a nightmarish assembly of technical parts and what looked like dollar store girl's toys meshed together. Transistors went to stuffed animals and wires laced between dress up dolls and kitchen set toys.

"Who wants to do intros first?!?" she asked while somehow managing to sort through the ungodly conglomeration that was her bag "I already did my name, but you don't have to start with that! Anything goes for my new B.N.R.Bs!"

ADA
Interaction/Mention: Dr. Dee Pennhurst ( StrixDesmodus ) X ( RealBillClinton )​

A single formal bow was the only response that Dr. Pennhurst got for her acceptance of ADA's offer to help. Instead of speaking, the android turned and knelt beside the corpse, giving it several prods with her finger before folding her hands in her lap and letting a small beeping noise out. Only a few seconds later, two figures arose from atop the building. Identical drones of ADA which quickly sprinted along the edge of the roof before leaping down to the ground. They didn't break momentum, rolling upon impact and coming up in full sprints before quickly closing the distance between them and the Gator-Man.

They didn't respond to X's retrieval of samples from the body, merely worked out their positioning without words. Only once they were in optimal positions, ADAs drones bent down and hefted the massive form off of the ground. They stayed like that for several seconds before finally speaking.

"Gratitude: Thank you for Cooperation, Subject Designate: Dee Pennhurst"​

With that, the trio seamlessly escorted the corpse into the building to its proper destination.

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Vex Von Brandt

The talk of gator eyes and how delicious they tasted made Vex's mouth water, though it also angered him further. He couldn't eat so much as a bite of anything, and the category of what he would eat wasn't merely broad enough, but actually favored the more exotic of meats. That was the vulture in him, one could suppose.
"I'm rooming with this Knott kid," The shapeshifter had said, and Vex was suddenly very glad that he hadn't called out for "Lock Nazareth" to call off his insectoid assailant. He began to laugh at how perfect the combination of roommates was. Oh boy, Knott will have a handful there. And this bug girl might just have a handful with Knott!
He didn't even notice X's placement of the less literal bug, even though he stopped laughing to stare at Kupi.
"Wow. I'm like a magnet today or something...."

Knott Lazarus

Knott gave a nod, reading the sign and approaching the box.
"Uh, thanks," they said, picking their own box of sweets up, examining it, and opening it. "Oh wow, those look good! And they smell good, too!" The words of a fellow expendable to make sure nothing was poisoned unwelcome-ly entered their head, though they could detect nothing noxious. They selected a cookie and took a bite, shortly exclaiming, "Oh wow, that's good!"

They then took up the earth elemental's offer to see what was inside the room, and their jaw dropped. They were mistaken, but they were not imagining things.

Finbar Cody

He considered his options, and the viewpoint Artem brought to light. At this point, he was glad he hadn't mentioned his remaining magical anomaly, being that locks never wanted to stay locked in his presence. It was another thing that other people could accuse him of being up to no good for, and he was sure it would come in handy if it were to remain a secret. Finally, this peculiarity might come in useful.
He climbed atop Artem, sitting behind the turret as suggested.
"So, you're from Russia, right? What's it like there?" He said, figuring to continue the conversation as they went to the dorms.


Marina Dogger

She looked the teacher in the eye, not looking away even after she gave her answer.
"Nothing," She lied unconvincingly, "Just wondering why it was unlocked." She gave a shrug as she spoke, and took a step into the classroom. "What are you doing, sir?"


Dr. Dee Pennhurst

She watched the multiple ADAs get to work at lifting Gator-Man's corpse, and also scanned the front lawn for remaining students. Francis was finally getting up from the ground, she saw. She waited to see what he'd do, and if she'd have to send someone to chase after him.


Ebeneezer Scratchwick

As he sifted through papers, reading which students would be in his classes this trimester, he heard the sound of some mechanical entities approaching. He placed the levitating papers on his desk in a neat pile and looked out the door to see.

 

[Volkie]

Artem to Finbar (Desmodus)

Artem stopped for a moment. As memories of Homeland came flooding into Artems mind, their eyes turned into glowing red stars as they then spoke "Well I'm glad you asked, Comrade Finbar! But please do make yourself comfortable and open the box next to you, because I'm probably gonna be talking a lot and you might get hungry. Alright, where to begin? Well, the landscapes are very snowy and very nice, quirky areas like Chess City and Permafrost Kingdom are my personal favorite, the art museums hold a lot of unique works too. Also, fun fact, did you know that the theme of the widely known puzzle game Tetris was actually based on a Russian folk song called Korobeiniki? Other parts are like..." Artem continued on as they started rolling again, conversing with Finbar about their life in the Motherland, and soon speaking of their time serving the Soviet Union...

Grozzle to Marina

'That's the best excuse you come up with?' Grozzle mentally facepalmed before grabbing the mermaid's arm so that she couldn't proceed any further "Well, since you asked nicely, I was making my way back to my classroom to recover from a self inflicted mind f*ck over one of your soon to be classmates, but before that I catch some mermaid picking the lock to Pennhurst's room and trying to likely steal something from it" Grozzle said with a deadpan expression before becoming annoyed " And I'm not letting you go until you tell me exactly why you're sneaking into one of your teachers' classrooms, so better get talking or we'll be here for a while."

 

[FuzzySheep12]

Autumn
(Dorm with Malik)
I rolled my eyes "yes, I'm a pegasus" I use my wing to scratch my flank. " So I guess your a roommate then" I turn my head going back to reading the pamphlet that has the map of the school on it.

Thora
(Dorm with sunny)
I did a fake gag. Good grief how am I supposed to deal with this much positivity around here? "Auggg!" I squish my face into the pillow and groan loudly. I finally look up. "I'm Thora." I then turn my body away from her. It's way too obvious that her positivity was definitely toxic. I groan again.

Piper
(Hallway gang)
I turned as some sort of...dog-tank thing caused a huge ruckess. I felt someone lightly touch me but I'd just have to remember to check it out later. It was probably nothin. "Um...hi?" I didn't really know where to start with this.

 

[Volkie]

Kupi to Hallway Gang: Piper, Oolart, X, Vex (Fuzzy, Huntertabby, CommunistFool, Desmodus)

Hearing the bug girl say hi, Kupi happily rolled up to her leg and nuzzled it with his turret, panting happily as he showed her his widespread affection. Almost forgetting, He took out boxes of baked sweets and handed one to each person (Y'know, the ones with Artem notes) before heading inside the dorm and picking a random room to set up his sleeping area in a corner of the room. Such 'furniture' consisted of a concealable vehicle platform (You know the drill) with some plants surrounding it, a tiny nightstand made of a plank of red-wood that has a framed picture of him and his past operating crew, a small rack on the wall that displayed different kinds of tank-shells, a French flag, a lamp where the lights look like candle fire, and a coatrack for him and Artem to put their accessories on. Finished with setting up, Kupi barreled out into the dorm and out into the halls again to find others to interact with.

Artem to Finbar and Al (Gish Sky)

"... And that's how the Soviet Union and the Allies defeated Nazi Germany, winning the Battle of Berlin!" Artem finished off, now inside the dorm halls next to Finbar's assigned dorm. "Well, I guess we can stop here and continue during lunch, hope you enjoyed that story, cause it was one hectic time during the war I can tell you! Can't wait to tell you about the space-race and the Cold war too, oh and don't forget, be sure to give these to your dormmates!" Artem took out one more box of sweets for Finbar's dormmate " I'll be seeing you in a little, just need to set up in my dorm, until then Comrade!" Artem gave a bow with their suspension before turning and rolling towards their dorm, not before stopping and remembering Al. 'Oh right, Al's still inside me, should probably wake him up' Artem then turned on a speaker and spoke to Al from the outside of themself "Al? Al? You there? Need to wake up, we're getting situated with dorms and it seems you only have one dormmate, want me to drop you off or are you good walking there?" Artem asked quietly and unfortunately sounding like a gentle father.

 

[Karcen]

Taris really couldn't quite figure out why a bright and positive person was going to a place that would be a black mark on any reputation these days. Villain still had some bad connections to it, and well that was fair enough. While villains were getting closer to an accepted profession much like minion seemed to be it still wasn't there. Still some big and powerful people started her so Taris guessed networking might be Sunny's goal. Thora seemed every bit a s dark and anti social as one would expect of a villain but she had a long way to go in presentation. Taris really did hope acting was required here as if not none of the worlds villains would have any stage presence. heroes were clearly taught when and how to enter in order to make an impact so villains needed to know as well. There hadn't even been one monologue yet .

" You needn't pay to much attention to me I'm just your run of the mill minion. My parents were minions, and my parents parents, and so on generation after generation serving this dark lord or that" Taris said her family having always been just minions not even an evil ally just faceless minions. " though if you need a name Taris will do or employee if you have a good pay rate and a benefits package" Taris said only half joking.

Sunny was a rich girl that was plain to see and given her company operated plenty in the open they weren't slave drivers at least to employees, but what company didn't keep a few slaves around to test on? Getting a foot in the door with Sunny might be a decent way to get into a good easy job as really what kind of heroes would come after Sunny that would be to harsh on minions.

[Volkie]

Kupi and Artem to Taris, Sunny, and Thora (Karcen, GrieveWriter, and FuzzySheep)

Kupi was once again surveying the halls for someone to interact with, but midway through his wandering a dreadful realization had dawned on him...

HE FORGOT TO DELIVER THE BAKED GOODS TO THE NICE LADY!!

Kupi's dotty eyes became the size of dinnerplates as he froze in place, shaking as if a mini earthquake were happening inside of him. A few minutes of that later, he let out a loud *ARF!* before literally going Mach 1 towards the yellow lady's dorm, the shockwave nearly deafening every student in the halls and stopping right at the doorstep like the roadrunner from Wile E. Coyote, the blast of wind following not disturbing him at all as he rammed the door open as if he were partaking in a SWAT raid. Rolling into the room while panting, Kupi pulled out a sign for everyone to read that said "My dearest apologies everyone, but I had rushed here under the realization that I had forgotten to deliver individual packages for each of you in Big Sibling Artem's stead, I hope you can forgive me for this foolish mistake." Kupi held the sign for a little more to make sure everyone had read it before rotating it to show a new written message "Anyways, My name is Kupi Char! Artem Malkovs companion to the end! And I bring to each of you a package of baked goods they have made, using their skills learned from the Malkov Family Bakery back in Moscow! I hope you all enjoy." After a few more minutes, the sign flashed out of existence as Kupi handed a box to each person in the dorm which consisted of: The nice yellow lady (MISSION COMPLETE!), some elf girl with a face-mask, and some girl who was on one of the beds. Blue dot eyes sparkling and his barrel shaped like a 'U' signaling that he is smiling.

Back in the Halls, Artem was waiting for Al's response before the loud bark and noticeable shockwave caused by their companion's sprint burst caught their attention. They watched as their boy blasted down the hall, stopping, and then busting the door of a dorm open while carrying 3 of the boxes of sweets that Artem had made before thinking 'Might as well see what he's up too..' Artem thought before rolling over to the open dorm. "Hey Kupi, did something happen boy?" Artem asked as they stopped and turned to face the inside of the dorm, they then looked up and noticed the 3 other occupants, one they know quite well from the front lawn. "Oh, Hello Sunny! How's your dormmates?" Artem asked, a surprised but happy tone to their voice as they turned to the other two ladies "Hello to the both of you too, my name is Artemisalen Malkov, but call me Artem for short, Comrades. This lil fella here is Kupi, My companion to soul and Friend till the End!" Artem introduced calmly and politely as Kupi did a spinning hop and landed on Artem’s turret, doing a little “arf!”

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Finbar Cody

He listened intently to the tank's stories as they rolled along to the dorms, and when the time came, he agreed to meet Artem at lunch. Box of sweets in one hand, head in the other, he elbowed the certainly unlocked door open and placed the sweets on a nearby table. Everything about the dorm seemed to be relatively normal save for a peculiar contraption, which he couldn't help but gawk at. Its purpose was yet unclear, and his furrowed brow matched his knowledge.

Marina Dogger

She flinched at Grozzle touching her, then scowled.
"Well forgive me for trying not to get poisoned! It's not like I've got many options for that!" Her eyes darted from the cabinet with the toxicology kits to the teacher who held her arm. "Look, in a place like this you can't be too careful!"
Remembering the emergency showers, one of which she saw in the corner of her eye, she wished she could deploy the rain of water and use it to help herself escape. She wouldn't have such luck at the moment.

Vex Von Brandt

Vex stared at the box he was handed, and his mouth watered at the smell of the sweets, which permeated the box enough to tantalize him. Stupid curse, He thought. Sweets weren't his favorite category of food, but he still liked them enough to wish he could eat them.
As Kupi made a dash for Sunny's dorm, Vex watched, swiftly covering the only ear he could at the sound and feel of the shockwave and trying to figure out how much magic could be involved with this unusual little machine. He was endearing, but Vex was about as suspicious as anyone could be about a technicality that didn't matter as much to others who didn't have such averse views in regards to magic.
He headed to his dorm with no more ceremony than a flick of his wings, and once safely inside, he opened the box of sweets, grabbed a fork from the dorm kitchenette's utensil drawer, and stabbed a piece of baklava, attempting to shove it into his mouth. The dessert stopped inches away from his face, as though a barrier were standing in the way.
Even privacy could not convince him to act on the impulse to fiendishly chomp at the morsel, however, and he just placed the baklava back where it was, leaving the fork in it.

 

[PARIAH]

KIAWE

Kiawe had been checking out the bedroom in the dorm he was assigned. Nothing was much different than how it'd been last year, and after becoming increasingly bored, he ended up flipping over a desk and setting it on fire. As he watched the wood burn away, he heard a door open, and straightened. It was finally time to meet whoever the hell he was rooming with this year. Maybe it would be one of his roommates from last year. That would be amazing---he'd get another chance to finally cremate them.
Instead, when he popped out of the bedroom, he saw a mutant bird kid that was trying to force feed himself some kind of cake. Kiawe raised an eyebrow. "Who the hell are you? Those are some big-ass wings."

Oolart
Volkie RealBillClinton FuzzySheep12​

even more people showed up causing Oolart to grin from all their mouths. there was a dead gator thing on the floor that X fellow seemed to take a bite out of it. "anyone mind if i just" oolart didn't even wait for someone to responde tails and limbs grabbing the corpse and their torso splitting open into a larger mouth to swallow the dead body whole in one gulp. then suddently the seemed to get "larger" as if the mass form the corpse just became part of Oolart. "hmm that was good ok oh and yeah i look ok? i mean human form is a little shitty but i work with what i can get small insectoid thingy"

 

[unstablepuddle]

Lucia to the h a l l w a y g a n g

Lou-Lou bounced into the dormitory hall looking jubilant, hair half-come out of her bun and trailing everywhere as she tromped along. Coming upon the group occupying the hallway, she looked extra pleased as she noticed new faces standing with them.
"Oh, new people! Helloo!" The selkie grinned, examining the recent arrivals with the expression of a child who's just been given a big box of sweets. New students; people to test her experiments on, or do other fun stuff with, and (probably) none of them would hate her for some reason! Really— being turned blue or losing a finger or two wasn't that bad, especially in the pursuit of science; but people never seemed to understand that, unfortunately.

Vaiana Esker Noe to NPCs/No one

After spending a while wandering the ground, looking for any kidnapped students who might have been... misplaced, Vaiana came upon the conclusion that no, most everyone had made it up and into the school successfully. Ae'd only found one student; a human, presumably, who'd seemed rather frightened at first and whose mood didn't seem to have have improved once ae'd told them where they were and sent them off towards the school. Vy still remembered when ae'd been kidnapped aer first year; not a very fun experience, especially when it turned out ae'd been dropped off in the middle of the forest— and, having had no experience with forests in the slightest, ae had been lost in the dark, brooding, and frequently dangerous environment for two days before making it to the school.
But now wasn't then, and ae ought to be getting to aer dorm room before ae were kicked out again: because living in a closet was never fun, especially when you were as tall as ae were, and Ana hoped to avoid it as for long as possible this year.

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Vex Von Brandt

He turned at the sound of the other door opening and the smell of smoke entering the common area.
"I'm Vex, and. And yeah, they are." He wanted to boast more, but was certainly distracted. From a distance, he peered through the open door where tendrils of smoke wafted. "But what's that smell? Is something on fire? Oh my god...."

Francis Sato

Getting dragged into the school's interior was not fun for him, even and especially as the situation was explained. Being unable to run back out the door he was shoved though filled him with anger and despair. He marched through the halls, determined to find an alternative door, but first came across a distraction in the student lounge. To his horror, there was no mistaking that his luggage was there.
He let out a dramatic sigh, and while he didn't admit defeat, he acknowledged that a wrench had been thrown into his plans to discreetly hitchhike back to Detroit.

Fenris Latour

Entering through the front door and carrying their baggage, they headed to the bulletin board as followers of Lycanthopism and those who simply feared or respected them made way for that enby who kicked Raymond Gallow's ass that one time. Reading where they were to room, and whom with, they wondered if Malik and Autumn could be willing converts to werewolfry and Lycanthropism. When they reached the dorm of their assignment, they didn't even set their bags down before observing that their roommates were probably not going to be converted any time soon. And is that? Why yes it is!
"Knott? Is that you? You weren't on the list. You aint coming here because you got de-roomed are you?" They said with a grin, one less cruel than they might have given anybody but their old rival and fellow in the queer community of TLI.

Knott Lazarus

A slight look of panic crossed their face at the mention of de-rooming. They hoped that they wouldn't find themselves banned from their own dorm when they returned to it.
"Uh, I don't think I was, but maybe I should check. I already know I'm not imagining things."

Fenris Latour

Still smiling, they nodded,
"Well I guess you're not. You're talking about the pegasus, right?"

Grozzle to Marina (Desmodus)

'Ah, that's why..' Grozzle thought, though he new what she was thinking when he spotted her eying the emergency showers, he couldn't really blame her due to her circumstances. So by now he just doesn't give a f*** anymore, so he let go of her arm, pat her back and sighed "Just be sure to ask a staff member when you need help with this kind of stuff, wouldn't hurt to would it? Anyways, you do you, I'll see you in class." With that he continued his slow retreat into his sanctuary and buried himself under numerous papers to help recover from his headache 'I don't get paid enough for this..'

KIAWE

"Yeah, no shit. I got bored," he replied, giving a brief demonstration of his powers by conjuring a small flame to his fingers. The flame flickered away, and he shoved past Vex and grabbed one of the sweets out of the box. After taking a bite, he was genuinely surprised at how good it was. "I dunno where you got these from, but they're mine now," he said, picking up the whole box. Kiawe glanced towards the door. "Anyone else rooming with us? I didn't check. We could have a battle royal or something, but you know, I'd win."

Vex Von Brandt

"Go ahead and eat them all, it's not like I can. I don't think anyone else is, but I could be wrong." At the mention of the possibility of fighting, Vex shrugged. "Well, I'd rather unpack first. I have some important stuff to unload." He demonstrated the "important stuff" by removing one of the packaged syringes of sectulam from it's bag, making sure his thumb covered the label. "See? This needs to be kept somewhere."
He toyed with the idea of using it immediately, just in case his new roommate were to try something even less fair than he figured magic users were usually up to, but decided not to un-package it yet, since the stuff could lose its efficacy if he just left the package open.

Marina Dogger

She was surprised to be let off the hook, but didn't plan on asking any staff members for help with her anti-poisoning efforts. She didn't even trust Grozzle, despite having not received so much as a yelling-at. She stood and wondered a moment why this teacher hadn't gone off at her in the least, then remembered that she was on a mission and immediately entered the classroom, shutting the door behind her and getting to work on the toxicology cabinet.
When she had acquired all of the kits she thought she needed, she placed them on a desk, opened the door, and made off with the tests to the dorms.

Astrid

Interactions: PARIAH (Kiawe)

As Astrid stepped out of the limousine she stretched her arms for the first time in many many hours. She snapped her fingers and a stuffed bear materialized out of thin air

"What the fuck do you want?

Astrid sighed, "Are you really still upset?

"Oh Im not upset Astrid, Im pissed, do you know what its like to spend your time in an infinite void where time has no meaning? No you wouldn't know"

"Alright alright alright, calm down, I need your help with my bags", if the teddy bear's eyes were not buttons, she was sure they would have blown out of their sockets.

"YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK FOR HELP WITH YOUR BAGS?!

"Yes I do Stuffles, do you know why? Because I am literally the reason you are alive- and besides that- your celestial contract makes it so that you have to obey my command- look, if it makes you feel better, I can guarantee that you won't be in your pocket dimension for the rest of the day"

"Fine but I swear to god you better keep this promise or I am going to blow my stuffing out with a 12 gauge", Astrid patted the bear's head.

"I'd knew you'd come around- now we better get going", they marched off to the dorms- each of them lugging behind way more than what was required, or needed for that matter. As they piled into the dorm she got a notification on her phone. As she opened up Buzzer she saw that her buzz of some particularly controversial remarks made by the hero known only as Superguy had gone viral and now #superguyisoverparty was trending on the app. He would recover- he always did, he was a good person at heart and would eventually come out with a good enough apology for the public. But for now, he was cancelled, deplatformed if you will- and this of course would greatly affect his crime-fighting life outside of social media- invading the real world. She closed out the app- and decided to try something out. Stuffles looked up as she exited the room-

"Where are you going? The bags are moved but aren't unpacked yet!

"Just start without me it'll be fine", she continued down her path as Stuffles began to wail and curse. She had eventually managed to find Kiawe's number, and as she rang it, she could hear the ringing close by. She backed up a bit- and then opened a dorm room- there he was- eating pastries.

"Well hullo to you Kiawe, did you miss me?, very soon chaos would emerge- and Astrid would get free content for her loyal subscribers. Plus, she would get to see Kiawe get pissed. It was a win-win scenario!

Malik Bruschnov
Interaction/Mention: Autumn ( FuzzySheep12 ) Knott & Fenris ( StrixDesmodus )
Location: Dorm

The magical equine creature spoke, practically confirming its status as a Roommate and not someone's pet. This was a small relief compared to the prospect of having to room with it, but Malik would endure. In the meantime, his focus briefly went to the Knocker who opened his own gift box from Artem. Given how apprehensive Malik was about opening his despite his gesture of acceptance, he paid close attention to this.

But the Knocker was not engulfed by swarms of trained insects or blown up on the spot by explosives. Instead, Malik watched as he began eating one of the sweet treats instead and gave compliments on its flavor. Of course, there was always the slim possibility that he was in on it and simply hamming it up to dissuade suspicion. Though Malik considered that, he found quickly that he just couldn't bring himself to care enough to go that far with his suspicions.

Instead, he focused more on the way the Knocker gawked at the magical Equine, displaying how out of his element he was. Malik may have been new to the school, but this lad's unfamiliarity with something as straightforward as a magical creature like a 'Pegasus', made him wonder if he really was just a clueless expendable getting yanked about by circumstances. Had he already been thrown out of his room by his superiors?

Malik wasn't sure.

But one thing was certain: he'd have to look elsewhere if he was expecting pity lodgings.

And then there was the Horned-Pegasus, reading a pamphlet while correctly assuming Malik was its roommate.

"Yes... yes, I am known as Malik Bruschnov." he said whilst entering the room and having a look around "It would seem our third roommate still remains absent."

Remembering he still had the gift box in his hands, he shrugged before tossing it on the his bed, "They shall maybe be missing out on these treats gifted to us by talking tank."

Yet almost as if summoned by those very words, Malik looked back just as their third roommate appeared. At least, Malik assumed he was theirs given that he came in with far less hesitation than the Knocker, who he seemed to know if his greeting was anything to go by. It turned out that Knott the Knocker was not sure if he'd been kicked out by his roommates yet, meaning the threat of him trying to slip in wasn't quite gone. If anything, it was even more of a threat considering he was friends with their supposed roommate.

But Malik wouldn't focus on that just yet. Instead, he gestured towards the gift box whilst speaking, "Ah, our third arrives right on time to be taking the treats the tank offered us."

He turned his attention to unpacking, "Good thing, not much of a stomach on me." he stated, pausing only to add "Malik Bruschnov."

Sunny Smiles
Interaction/Mention: Thora ( FuzzySheep12 ) Taris ( Karcen ) Artem & Kupi ( Volkie )
Location: Dorm​

If Sunny noticed even a fraction of how irritated her actions made Thora, she didn't show it at all. She just seemed thrilled at having learned her name, practically dancing in place as those floating drones of hers continued fliting about tidying the room. Many of them set about sorting through the ungodly amalgam that was her backpack, while others just floated daintily around her as she moved.

She bounced from one side of the room to the other over and over again, practically drinking in its details as she listened. But then she stopped upon hearing Taris describe herself, turning on her roommate with a gasp of disbelief

"Hey now, don't go selling yourself short, buddy!" she declared as she hopped towards Taris and gestured towards herself "A good workforce is so much of a treat that I always make sure to know all about as many of them as possible! They deserve nothing less if they're on my payroll! No slipping through the cracks with Sunny!"

She hopped backwards, only to be caught by her floating drones and lifted off the ground, "There's always good needing done somewhere, so don't go thinking I won't take ya up on that offer, Tari!" she giggled to herself before spinning in the air and pointing towards the ceiling "No cost could be too great for saving the world from-!"

Whatever she was about to say was invalidated by the mini tank which rushed the door and began barking whilst showing off a sign. Sunny was less interested in the sign and more in just how adorable the mini tank was, gasping loudly at the way it moved about handing out boxes of treats to everyone. If its sign was anything to go off of, it was Artem the tank's pet, which was fairly consistent to Sunny.

"Awwweee!" she couldn't help but fawn over it as it smiled up at them, looking to her dorm mates as well "Isn't he just the cutest?!?"

She wasn't given long to fawn, however, as Artem came in not long after they received their gifts. His friendly little tank pal was apparently called Kupi, who hopped onto his turret as he introduced themselves and asked about her dormmates.

"Oh! Oh! He's just so totally adorable!" Sunny said before floating backwards and gesturing towards her two roommates "These are my Best New Roommate Buddies Thora and Taris! Thora might be a lil sick right now though, I think she needs some tummy medicine, I might need to get to work on that!"

She gave a few happy claps as several of the drones around her bag begin sorting a pack of vials that looked as though they came from a children's chemistry set, "Tummy meds are easy-peasy, buddy! Just hold on a moment! First I gotta figure out if ya just a lil clogged or-"

A beeping noise interrupted Sunny, who pulled down the sleeve of her raincoat to check a wrist-mounted screen. She tapped at it to stop the beeping before continuing, "Or maybe ya just need a lil rub-rub and you'll be best as could be!"

ADA

Interaction/Mention: Pennhurst & Scratchwick ( StrixDesmodus )​

ADA took longer than most would assume given the consistent pace her drones had when initially moving the body. But after some time, the trio finally neared their destination. The corpse of Gator-Man was now headless, but they made sure not to spill too much of his blood on the floor as they made their way through the hall. Their journey took them away from the dorms, the din of talking students slowly being replaced by the subtle motions of their robotic bodies.

As they drew near, ADA took note of Mr. Scratchwick watching from the doorway of his class.

"SUBJECT DESIGNATE: Ebeneezer Scratchwick." she stated "This student was decapitated out on the yard during an altercation."

They finally came to a stop before him, "SUBJECT DESIGNATE: Doctor Dee Pennhurst Authorized the transportation of the remains to you." she continued "Inform these drones of where to deposit said remains."

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Fenris Latour

"Treats, huh? Well, I'll have a look." They opened the box and inspected the contents, deciding on a cupcake with a little helicopter on top. Knowing that they were one of the many werewolves who were vulnerable to poison damage, they sniffed at the cupcake, happy to find nothing more toxic than caffiene.

"Have you had any, Knott?"

Knott Lazarus

"I had a cookie, and it was magnificent." No sooner had they said that, they watched as Fenris began to eat the cupcake. "Really, though, I'd better get going. It was great to meet all of you, but I've got to make sure I can salvage my stuff." With that, they made a swift exit for their own dorm.
Of course, not all of Knott's intentions were to keep their clothes and shampoo- Some of their stuff was stuff they wanted to keep out of the wrong hands, if such a thing were even possible.



Ebeneezer Scratchwick

A joyously evil laugh emanated from the cat as he levitated off the ground.
"Already? Excellent! This makes things much easier! Just hang him in the frigidarium. I'll get to butchering him tomorrow. This will make for an excellent demonstration for my morning class."

 

[FuzzySheep12]

Thora

Was I like the only one here who couldn't stand this all smiling to cheery person? I couldn't be...right? Growling loudly I let out a burst of energy that webbed itself into a sort of force field almost. "This is just below the amount that would kill you so one touch and you will be knocked out and have a pounding headache when you awake. And if your really unlucky it will leave webbed scaring through out your body." I say in a slight cold tone. "I will not be taking any sort of medication and you can't force me...I'm always watching for threats..." I grit my teeth and lay back down my forcefield of lightning making a slight pulsing noise. (it's like fishnetting style not just like a bubble)

Autumn

So now there is this other kid in here.. we have the big dude and a smaller guy. I blink slowly. Using my teeth I rip open the package of sweets. They smell kinda weird. I bite into one....hmm not bad. I chew it for a bit before just eating the entire box. Well now that's gone. I curl up for a nap. Ignoring the others.

Piper

"Sweets? Thanks!" I chomp into them.the tank drives off in a hurry. Let's head to my dorm. I walk quickly to my dorm. And once there I throw all my stuff everywhere in a decent manorly fashion.

 

[PARIAH]

KIAWE

Kiawe noticed what Vex was holding and raised his eyebrows. "What, is that like--" he started, but then the door opened and she appeared.
He put the box of sweets back down and pointed at Astrid. "YOU!!!" he exclaimed. "Pfft miss you?? Hell nah!"
And what was she even doing at his door? No, it couldn't be...was she one of their roommates this year? Kiawe had mixed feelings. Sure there was the burning grudge he had against her, but she would be way more fun to beat up than the first year.

RealBillClinton and StrixDesmodus

 

[Karcen]

It seemed that Sunny didn't quite see that being a minion was an art, a trade, it was not something that you just did and it was not selling yourself short. Well given most villains were the kind to have big egos they likely couldn't imagine how it was out of the spotlight and didn't really get how much of an impact proper minions had on a performance. Sunny and her talk of saving the world really didn't make sense for a villain, there was no one here that would judge her for saying she wanted to rule the world, there was no media to impress, or civilians to calm. Heroes didn't really use minions so Taris really didn't think much on joining someone that seemed to pitch themselves as one. Heroes fought alone or with sidekicks it was villains that needed minions. Tairs had nearly forgotten the communist tanks till one showed up, really whatever power animated them could have at least included a human form as well like this Taris really didn't see them getting far in the world if they could be one day stopped with a powerful enough door and wall.

Thora was well she had a more villain like attitude, but she seemed to be more lone wolf or even the kind to lash out at underlings. That and she seemed to have magic and Tari despite being an elf didn't really care for magic it was to much of a headache to deal with a boss that had to do the strange and stupidly specific things magic required. It was much easier to work with a tech villain they played by rules and often didn't need the blood of a dragon slain on a full moon with a holly spear. Still Thora did open up the floor for one thing with her dark attitude and the contrasting positive attitude of Sunny.

" Well you are rather friendly for a tank i would have expected something more soviet from a comrade " Taris started " In fact we have quiet a few friendly faces this year so much i wonder if everyone remembers this is a school for villains. In fact of all the positive people Sunny you are without the most stand out of them all. SO do tell are you sure you came to the right place, saving the world is a heroes games ruling it a villains' after all?" Taris asked wanting to know just why Sunny was here to be a villain when she was far more a hero in the making than a villains.

Fenris Latour

They give a quizzical look as Autumn devoured the entire box of sweets and then curled up for a nap. Putting their bags down on the ground, they started to make small talk with their other roommate after taking another bite of cupcake.
"So, Malik, you're from Europe? I bet there are some great forests there. That's part of why I chose this school is for the woods. Grayborne Tech is smack dab in the middle of the city, no woods at all! It's closer to home, but what's the sense in being locked up every full moon when you can hunt in the woods? There's nothing like the rush of chasin' down just about anything, and eating it. Oh, sorry. I'm just about talking your head off aren't I?"

Vex Von Brandt

He didn't bother to explain what was in the syringe to Kiawe, hoping for the pyrokinetic's imagination to help him come up with the best course of action. No such luck would come just yet.
Lowering his hand, but not removing his thumb from the label, he tried to figure out where he'd seen the newcomer before. She looked familiar even though he couldn't remember her name. She certainly looked distinctive, with the excesses of pink and heterochromatic eyes. He's seen her around the school, but also somewhere else. But he wondered where. He didn't bother greeting her.

1. Artem to Kupi, Sunny, Taris, and Thora. Mentions Finbar. ( GrieveWriter, Karcen, FuzzySheep, Desmodus) (Italics are for when I'm mentioning a character that they're not interacting with in this post)

Artem listened on as Sunny introduced her other dormmates to them and Kupi, who was fiddling with a little loose string on his Tuque as he listened. After listening to her figuring out a solution for Thora's apparent stomach-ache, Artem realized they still needed to set things up in their dorm. They already knew that Kupi had set up his belongings there as well, so Artem felt that Kupi can be safe with the three ladies despite not knowing the other two much. But knowing sunny they felt it sufficed.

"I have a feeling she might just be irritated about something, maybe unpleasant memory of some individual? Anyways, I still need to set up in my dorm. Kupi already set up his part of our room so he might want to hang out and get to know you three more (Kupi perked up at this and nodded his barrel excitedly). And before I forget, maybe you'd like to meet with me during lunch? I made a new friend in the back garden I want to introduce you to and I've been telling him stories of Homeland along with my life during the wars." Artem then picked up Kupi from the top of their turret (Again, those seeing it would think they're using telekinesis) and nuzzled their barrel on his hat while holding him close as they gently whispered "Be sure to behave while I'm gone, and here, have this. (They handed Kupi a Text-to-Speech Device) why not show them some of your gear to pass time?" Artem gives Kupi one last sweet and caring gaze before gently setting him down on the floor and backing out of the dorm before saying "Nice meeting you two!" and making their departure towards their dorm.

2. Kupi to Sunny, Taris, and Thora

After Artem had left the dorm Kupi turned over to the 3 other girls in the room, one of which 'that one's Thora' made a fishnet of electricity and said something about the lightning being enough to knock someone out, huh...

LET'S TEST THAT THEORY!!

With that, Kupi casually rolled over and stopped just before the net of lightning, and slowly approached it just before jolting himself and made contact with the field. Surprisingly, for everyone else that is, the entire field of lightning was absorbed into Kupi's body, and not even a sign of discomfort or pain was seen on his face 'That field is strong though, maybe it could've only knocked out human beings..' Anyways, Kupi rolled into the center of the room and Pulled Out a Photo Album. On the brown cover, it read 'Adventures with Artem' and was a pretty thick book too. Kupi showed the cover to everyone and used the T2S device to say "Me and Artem have been by each other's sides ever since the end WW2 when they found and dug me out from the soils of a refilled trench, brought me to their home and restored me. These photos contain special memories of our bonding times together after powers were welcomed in the world, and I'd like to share them with each of you. " Kupi's device said (The voice sounds like an englishman) With that, Kupi opened up on the 1st page. The 1st photo showed a white T-34 and a Dark Grey FT-17 being crowded by a bunch of Japanese cosplayers at what seemed to be an Anime Convention. Under the photo was a caption that said 'The Ultimate Form of Girls Und Panzer Commitment' "This was from the time that me and Artem went to our 1st Anime Convention during our vacation in Japan, apparently there's an Anime that features our kind, and our appearances at the time was vastly similar to those of in the show." Kupi explained, looking to the next photo it showed a grand opening of a very nice looking bakery, the caption for this being 'Grand Opening of the Malkov Family Bakery in Moscow' "This one holds a large piece in our hearts.. they were one of the only people to accept us for what we were, and they even adopted Artem and I as if we were human beings.." A sad yet grateful expression showed on Kupi as a small tear trailed down his turret. Photo after photo and soon page after page was passed as time went on with Kupi explaining Artem and his adventures throughout the world together, such as witnessing an Irish Barfight, exploring Australia during Spider Season, going to the Oktoberfest in Germany, sightseeing in Paris, and even that one time Artem was chosen to act as the tank from the T-34 movie 3 years ago. They even got front row seats to the premire!
