From the sounds of it, Leah was with April right now. I mean,  they were staying at the same hotel so it should be normal right? But it also felt a bit weird cuz they broke up. Dorian didn't really know all the rules of it or anything, but maybe Leah just wanted to comfort her too? He listened intently to what April had to say, a heart attack, old age, none of this seemed right. Dorian had seen him just the other day, they had tea together, he was perfectly fine. His head began to swim with thoughts as he tried to make sense of it all.

Danni frowned at how upset April sounded. Like sure, he was dead but that didn't mean he was [i]gone[/i]. He still didn't really get why people thought death was a horrible thing. Like, sure they weren't [i]here[/i] but it was like when a friend moves away - just call them. But Danni knew that wouldn't go over well if he said that out loud, so instead he'd just offer himself! He covered the phone for a second when Ben came over, giving him an apologetic shake of the head and a shrug.

[color=E948FC]“Oh Appa, apparently our coach just died? But hey, Princess. It's okay, it's okay! Just ‘cause someone died doesn't mean it's over, ya know? They're still around, just somewhere else. Kinda like when we ‘ave ta go ‘ome for summer! All we gotta do is call as much as we can.”[/color] Danni replied cheerily. [color=E948FC]“So, ya wanna chat wit’ ‘im? You got anyt'in’ you wanna say? I t'ink people always ask for like one more chance ta people when t'ey die. We can give everyone a little time wit’ Poisson-Pas. Gotta make sure ‘e doesn't ‘ave any more crazy stuff planned t'at ‘e won't be able ta deactivate! And t'en we can call ‘im back when we win for t'e celebration! T'at should ‘elp, right Dee?”[/color]

[Color=CC99FF]”I mean…we can certainly try but…I don't t'ink Nemo is dead. It's not ‘is time yet, t'at doesn't ‘appen for like…almost a year? So somet'in else is up i t'ink…eit'er t'at or ‘e's about to be resurrected. Eit'er way t'e first step is tryin' to summon ‘is ghost to ask.”[/color] Dorian said more matter of fact than usual, as if he was trying to solve a game puzzle right before him.

[color=E948FC]“See Princess! Not'in’ ta worry about! Dee knows it's not time for Poisson-Pas ta die, so don't sweat it. We just gotta find out what…”[/color] Danni paused, looked at Dorian, looked at the phone, and the gaped at Dorian. [color=E948FC] “Waaaaait one ‘eckin’ second?! What do you mean, it's not time for ‘im ta die?! ‘ow do ya know it's in a year?! Did ya get another power?! Why didn'tcha tell me?! Do you know ‘ow many tests were could ‘ave gotten t'e answers for?!”[/color] Danni watched Andy bolt across the lawn over to old man Erik's place. Weird but not as weird as his best friend not telling him he's a divination wizard now!

[Color=CC99FF]”It's not a new power! I…it's more…I didn't want to talk about it ok? I was stuck in t'e astral for a really long time and Nemo was nearby when it ‘appened. I t'ink bein’ too close was t'e issue I just, it was like I saw ‘is future or at least one year into t'e future. I saw ‘is grave and t’e marker was for next year. So…’e can't be dead. And t'ere's no test answers in t'e astral.”[/color] Dorian pouted. He'd hated what he saw, hated that there was even more there to tell but he didn't need to bring this on them before the contest. 

[color=E948FC] “Deeeee, you should ‘ave told us! ‘ow are we supposed ta ‘ave a cuddle pile now l?! Ugh, we'll ‘ave ta wait but just you wait Mister. T'e second we can, it's a trio pile up on you.”[/color] Danni waggled his finger in Dorian's face before whirling to Casper. [color=E948FC] “Papa!!! Can we do a seance? We wanna see if Poisson-Pas is actually dead! Oh, everyone can be a part! Mads, Zari, Andy-no she's seeing Old Man Erik for some reason-Spicy, Vee, y'all wanna do one! It'll be so cooool! A real New Orleans welcome!”[/color] 

James sighed as the conversation spiraled. He made a note to discuss with Max about this astral vision Dorian got and apparently had hidden even from Danni, but now wasn't the time. [color=mediumspringgreen] “Okay, kiddos. Let's head inside? We have some food if anyone's hungry but that way you can get your rooms, get settled, and we can talk about this [i]without[/i] conjuring ghosts on the front lawn.”[/color] James addressed the group as a whole. [color=mediumspringgreen]“Everyone has their own room so you'll be plenty comfortable.”[/color]

[Hider=For those entering the estate]Those who wish to listen to James and make their way into the Kingston-Gray Estate, will be met with a door handle made of brass that looks like a hand extending outwards for a shake. If you grip the door handle then an antique looking key (you can choose what it looks like) will appear in the palm of your hand before the door opens to you. A shimmering golden light will emanate from the key and lead you towards your room. Every student will get their own room and each room will be designed to match that student's aesthetic.[/hider]
