Nidgardt

The bath itself had worked wonders for the demondragon, he felt alot better now after all the odd things which had happened today.

"I wonder if anyone else is having a bad day..." He said out loud to his empty room. Hmm. I should go check out what that loud distant sound was... even if that's out of school grounds, someone might be in need of aid. He stood up and the water slid all the way his enourmous wings and scar filled, yet muscular body. Just have to get dry first. Nidgardt spread his wings wide, in a quick flashy manner, causing some of the furniture to fall over inside of the room. Although most of the things had been nailed due to past accidents.

Could be good to stretch your legs and wings abit too... He allowed his non-deformed hand to stroke his own chin, pondering on his options as he stood there in the bath fully naked.

"Hm... towel?" He said to himself and moved out of the bath, uncorking the plug in it to have the water leave it. He stepped over to a nearby dresser which was nailed to the floor and wall, he opened it and took out two towels, he put one on his head and wrapped the other around his waist. He'd made his way over to the bathroom area where he looked at himself in the mirror.

I guess theres no way to get Alicia on the team now. Too bad. I should go and find Rat King after I've checked out what made that large boom. Probably just some alchemist playing around with the wrong things or someone blowing up a site where they can find precious gems. He pondered for a moment on gems, they were fancy, his father enjoyed them. But not to the degree he loved gold. Women seemed to also have a stronger liking for shiny stones than men in general though, or so he thought. Having been raised in seeing his father's servants walk around with the least amount of clothing as possible, and jewelry on everything that you could put jewelry at. He shook his head as he remembered specific servants, followed by a more recent image of Alicia's undergarment.

Foolishness... It is stronger to resist this nature of ours than fall prey to it. A challenge worthy of someone like myself, but not limited to only me. To have what I have, and not succumb to arrogance is a challenge too. Nidgardt exhales through his nose heavily. To take powers for granted and allow yourself to follow your natural urges are a one way ticket to dooming yourself to a pit you will have difficulty escaping from. Then again.. that too could be considered a challenge? The demondragon gave the question he posed to himself a long thought while he dressed in clothes resembling what he wore before his bath, albeit clean that is. As boring as some would regard that, Nidgardt didn't care overly much for clothes other than he prefered them to be black. Images of Alicia again came to his head and he quickly shook them away. As he was done dressing up he went out of his room, locking it and went down the corridor to one of the large windows. He took a slight look around.

Generally it was frowned upon jumping or leaving the buildings via the windows, but since no one was around the demondragon took the opportunity and opened two of the large windows, so he could squeeze through and then he jumped out. He spread his wings widely and gave a few strong flaps with them to lift off from the ground, then set his way over towards where the boom had come from.

His dark wings and overall dark attire and look would surely be seen from quite the distance, he proceeded with a slight bit of caution. As he didn't know what to expect to see once he would arrive on the scene.

"Haah..."

Alicia took a long, deep sigh as her naked body entered the warm, scented waters that filled the bathtub under her.

Aah, how refreshing...

Taking a bath like this was one of her favorite pastimes, along with teasing boys and girls she found interesting. Every time she performed this ritual of cleansing, it took off her mind off all the unpleasant things that had happened throughout the day. That's why she usually took her bath just before bed. Only today she gave an exception to the rule.

All thanks to him...

She still didn't know what happened there. Did her curse actually backfire? It certainly had never happened before to her.

Ah, nevermind. No use thinking about it now. We'll just see if my other curse would work at him.

She released her grip on the sides of the tub, allowing her body to float a little in the water.

And then, she heard it. Numerous noises of what sounded like explosions coming from the outside.

"Oh, what now?" she said to herself with an annoyed expression.

She ignored them at first, but then more loud sounds ensued, coming from the same direction.

Really, the noises of their ruckus are reaching this far?

With a groan, she rose up from the bathtub, cutting her relaxation time short. She took her towel and dried herself with it, before changing into her casual clothes, a red gothic lolita-esque dress complete with a bonnet. Only that unlike the traditional dresses in the genre, the skirt part was not ankle-length as it should. Instead, it ended midway through her thighs, white frills peeking out from its hem.

Of course, she changed her panties as well. Same color, but without the remnants of the damp embarrassment that guy had given her.

Once she was ready, she headed out in a pair of red shoes and white short socks. Combined with her outfit, it really gave her the looks of a living, walking doll.

"Now let's see what's going on down there... Let's just hope it's something that could interest me..." she said with a smirk.

Unlike Nidgart, she took the leisurely route through the stairs. Even though she was called The Witch, she really couldn't actually fly with a broom.

Alexei reached down shakily to where the stone man had just disintegrated and picked up the stone heart in one hand, turning it over to look at it from all sides.

It was still beating.

That was a good sign.

Right?

When he did something like this to someone, or himself, it wasn't usually permanent. One time he'd scattered his body into a million Alexei cubes. The maid had swept him up and dumped him into a wastebasket while the entire household went ballistic searching for him, fearing for his safety and any unmitigated disaster that would come of him wandering around unsupervised. Luckily he'd reformed the very next day, ripping apart the waste bin and thoroughly surprising that same maid. She'd gotten a raise for finding him.

So, it stood to reason that if he was still alive he would be fine in a day or so.

Maybe?

Assuredly!

Hopefully.

"I really, really hope that didn't kill you, sir." He said to the heart. Then he looked over at Kakra, and realized for a moment just how strange this must be. The heart, now floating in the air. He'd forgotten that he was invisible. "It's me." He said. "I'm invisible now." he added after a moment. "Are you going to be okay?"

Kakra stared at the floating heart, almost ready for another fight before Alexei announced himself. "I'm fine..." she grumbled. She then walked over to him and snatched the stone heart out of his hands. "Quit it, that's creepy." She turned it over once or twice, feeling the life still thrumming from it. Her grip tightened around it, but not enough to even come close to damaging it. She wasn't quite that strong anyway... yet.

He'd stolen from her, attacked her, tried to kill her... and then he'd mumbled some half-assed apology out of nowhere and turned to dust before she could get revenge and break him herself. How was she supposed to vent her frustrations now?! She grit her teeth and growled.

"You... you..." Her body trembled. "PRICK!" she spun around and just chucked the rock with all her might. He was a rock, he'd probably be fine, right?

Ivan was flung directly into a bird that was flying overhead at that moment. Wait, no, it wasn't a bird. It was Nidgardt. Kakra's jaw dropped in shock as she pelted him almost full force with Ivan's heart. "O...oops..." she swallowed hard. "I uh... I'm uhh... H-hey Gregor! Where'd you go!?" she glanced about nervously before running off in the general direction of where she'd last seen him.

She completely forgot Alexei was there -- him being invisible and all.

Kakra Remaining Time: 6m

"I'm unsure whether or not I can." Alexei replied as she snatched the heart from him. He gave willing himself visible the old college try, but nothing came of that except a sharper pain in the ribs.

He screamed as the girl took the heart and hucked it as far as she could, but luckily a senior student came flying in to capture the heart. With his chest.

As the girl ran off to avoid the responsibility for assaulting her senior Alexei called up. "Sir, please don't drop that. It's a student."

As the boy approached and his shadow swooped along the ground to cover Alexei he remarkably came into view, glowing with a pale blue light as though he were a phantom. Realizing he could be seen again, he quickly straightened his posture, before feeling a sharp stabbing sensation in his cheat and relaxing again, clutching his side. "Good afternoon comrade. There's been an altercation and a helicopter crash. There have been injuries, and the pilot is still at large. May I ask for your assistance?"

Nidgardt

The flight had been a somewhat calm, the demondragon had watched over the scene and could see some accident on a road leading up towards the scene of whatever made the big boom. That explains why there are no law enforcers or medical personell on the scene. They have been delayed by some traffic accident. That's unfortunate. Surely they must have Heard it though. The teachers of the school not leaving to find out make sense though, as it would make them leave the schoolgrounds on their working hours. Perhaps they mistook it for one of the geocaching blasts in the mining area.The demondragon was popped out his own thoughts as he was hit by something in the chest, he felt it land on him but it did him no harm, it harmlessly slammed against his chest. He also heard a scream below, coming from whomever was located below.

"Hmm?" He reached out with large clawed hand to grab what it had been, as it had already begun falling. What's this? Nidgardt thought as he looked at the stone heart then to the ground where he saw Kakra quickly leaving the landing zone, where Alexei stood.

"A student? This heart-shaped stone?" Nidgardt looked puzzled and that's when Alexei informed him of what had happened.

"A helicopter crash? Where are the wounded?" The demondragon asked as he landed, taking a few steps before pulling his wings to him, turning to look directly at Alexei. "Also what altercation? I will assist in whatever way is possible, lead the way..." Nidgardt nodded towards Alexei, if there were wounded in need of air they had to be found soon and then taken to medical staff or someone who could heal them.

Sasha seemed to recoil upon seeing the filth-ridden jacket initially, but relented. As unwholesome as Sir Cuddles hygiene was sometimes, it was better than to show embarassment to commoners. The proud Yenina stood with her arms folded, trying to gather what was a recap of the whole situation.

"First I was about to partake in pudding, then I had no serving of the commoner dish, but a whole twin sister served to me. And there was you yelling and tossing people. And that weird commoner Kato. They all wanted to prevent me from having pudding, so I decided to teach what it meant to cross House Yenina." She paused for a brief moment, bluster twisting the words in her tongue making her unable to continue.

"And then my garb was unable to cont..tain my holy power and WHERE IS THAT STUPID YURI WITH A NEW SET OF CLOTHES!" Sasha's anger turned once more volcanic, even if she was ragged out of her breath, before setting her eyes at the new presence. "You. Because I interrupted your attempt to breed with that witch, you've set up a demonic curse of pudding starvation upon me, Demondragon!" She yelled, advancing towards Nidgart. "Somehow, it's all your fault! Sir CUDDLES! CHARGE! SLAY THAT DRAGON!" She added, before squishing the poor rat-man and trying to forcefully push him towards the enemy that needed vanquishing.

"I do not believe we should be slaying anyone ma'am." Alexei called to the advancing...oh no, was that the noble? Why was she involved in this now? What sort of day was tody? And was that the rat man from before with her? The contrast between him and a member if the nobility was honestly dumbfounding, but he soldiered on anyway and faced back to the senior student.

"The person you're holding sustained the worst injuries." He started, trying his hardest to sound official despite being very tired. "He was a stone like man with a farmers hoe. I'm fairly certain I disintegrated him, but he seems to still be alive and may well be fine in the morning. He was attempting to murder the student who is currently fleeing, for reason's I'm still unclear on. That student shouldn't be injured, their powers seem to include incredible regenerative abilities, but seeing as she was murdered by a troll I'd recommend a trip to the medical wing in any case."

He stopped there to catch his breath. That was all the relevant injuries, he though. This would be so much easier if he still had his notes.

"The trolls appeared when I attempted to use my powers to apprehend the pilot of this downed helicopter," he continued, lightly kicking the fallen machine, "Who I suspect did not have the necessary paperwork to be flying in this area. The trolls were killed, with extraordinary valor, by the stone faced student, the healer, and comrade rat man here." He gave Gregor a nod. "The pilot, unfortunately, escaped onto the school grounds while the trolls were being dealt with. We should alert the authorities, and have this man detained and questioned as soon as possible. If you need any further details on these events comrade rat man also witnessed everything. Will that be all, sir?"

"Oi, watcha mean slay a dr-, wait, Niddy, wut de bloddeh hell is goin on ye flying apocalypse?!" Gregor called from below, watching Nidgart descend to land, shortly before walking almost right into Kakra. "Eyy, I'm roight ere ya luminescent badarse! I had to stop the whole school from goin up in holeh firer. Sorry fer runnin off like that." The Rat explained to his friend, before lookin back at Sasha. "Err, Sash, I don't tink nuthin could ever really put a proppah curse on you. You're basically anti-curse, de person...so...if ya promise not to turn anywen to dust, I'll getcha some pudden, ok?" Gregor asks the terrifying creature who had been crushing and pushing him. The red of her hair was like the demons Gregor saw in her, it was truly terrifying for him. However at the same time, he couldn't really just try to kill Nidgart who was a buddy of his. Worst comes to worst, he reckoned he could throw Sash far enough away she'd not be able to vaporize him.

"What's going on here?"

Alicia finally arrived at the scene; her arms crossed below her chest as she looked around, trying to figure out what in the world had just transpired.

When she noticed that Nidgardt was also there, her expression instantly transformed into that of the oh-great-why-is-he-here kind. But she didn't say anything to him, choosing to ignore his presence instead.

"I see that you folks have decided to--what's the word? Ah, I believe it's---"get rowdy"," she announced with her trademark smile. "So much that you even disturbed my bath time. Tsk tsk tsk, should I report this to the teachers?"

She then noticed Sasha's lack-of-clothing state. With a grin, she continued, "Not only that, but you also are showing indecency in the school grounds. My oh my, how daring you are, Sasha."

"If it wouldn't be to much trouble..."Alexei said to Alicia before finally giving up the ghost. Maybe it was the injuries, or the cost of using too much wild magic in quick succession. Either way his body just couldn't hold out anymore against the exhaustion assailing him. With the situation reported to a senior the very last tether binding upright snapped. His eyes fluttered, he listed sideways, and collapsed into the grass. The only thing visible were his tiny little legs still laying in the shadow of Nidgardt.

"I'm sorry." He said. "It's been a long day. I just need to lie down for a moment."

Alicia raised her eyebrows when Alexei suddenly collapsed. She didn't bother catching him or anything like that. Playing hero was tiresome and wouldn't suit her in the slightest.

She did however take a few steps back, as she realized with his new position, he might be able to look up her dress. The hem was quite short after all, ending halfway up her thighs.

"Well, at least he's not unconscious. Someone might want to carry him to the infirmary though."
