[color=fff200][i]Oh crap, this is not what I expected to happen![/i] [/color]As she was still trying to stick close to Nico, Alice realized that the situation started to be more and more uncontrollable as more people entered the group. To her comfort, Nico was still too flustered to act about the fact she's getting closer to him. Alice found that to be pretty cute. Still though, it was a pandemonium over here. First there were the Russian little bumpkin, seemingly trying to pick some fights with Mikhail, who seemingly was jealous or something about her being close to Nico now but who was distracted by the presence of another guy. Mikhail threatened him to break his nose if he dared to mess with Nico. Now Alice was starting to get worried about Mikhail, and for the sake of comfort she went closer towards Nico. The guy Mikhail was talking with tried to dodge Mikhail's accusation seemingly, but whether it was really genuine or not was something Alice couldn't figure out. [quote=@RoflsMazoy] [color=greenyellow]"Yooo slowpokes!"[/color] He called out, turning around. [color=greenyellow]"I don't know what you're doing but you're going to get left behind!"[/color] [/quote] More people, seriously? Alice didn't even get the time to take notes this time. Her plan had been completely derailed, and if she didn't act fast, the situation would end up worse and worse. But, what should she do? Those dating sims never had any awkward situations like this! She was at loss with words, and probably ended up having a similar expression to Nico when she went close to him earlier. No way in hell was she prepared about this. And now Mikhail tried to get them into their ever-growing group. Did he ever learn about the importance of five-man band? Aah, everything's ruined now! What was he thinking? [color=ed1c24]"I guess that's long enough."[/color] Thankfully, the bell tolled for her at the nick of the time. With everyone's attention towards Varus, Alice could get a breath of relief as she tried to recompose herself. She listened to how the trials would come often, and while she attempted to look nervous about it, it was also something that she felt confident in facing. It was a privilege for someone like her, the one starring in this story, to be able to impress the lecturers with her skills. Ooh, perhaps she would incite some people to hate her out of envy. She could be bullied by those jerks, then later on a prince charming would come to her side and carry her to the safety of his protection, opening a wonderful new route! Right right. First thing would be to actually do something to the instructor first. Alice slipped between the crowd of people, and made sure that Varus was now within range of her ability. She then grabbed the knife she hid on her waist, and using her skirt as the surface for her Window, she inserted her hand and the knife into it. The ability required another solid inorganic object to be the exit, so of course she chose the exit to be Varus' jacket. Trying her best to not make her movements too obvious, she started to carve her initials as best as she could on his clothing. Or well, attempted to. She lost sight on whether she was even successful in carving on his back due to the crowd. It's kind of lame, in hindsight, but perhaps it was a nice way to start things up. If it failed, she could just use someone's clothing as the Window and reappeared right from Varus' stomach. That would look pretty impressive, perhaps. [@Scio] [hider=OOC] Didn't make Alice carving to be something that 100% happened yet. I guess it's up to you whether she's successful or she missed. [/hider]
