Selvina had enjoyed the coffee the fox had brought her - it seemed to have a slightly strong taste of a different sort, but being focused on her studies the mage continued to read until eventually she felt sleepy and went to bed. The fox would see her snoring softly, resting her head on a single pillow and cuddling another one in her arms as she murmured something about needing to study more. It was probably a mild nightmare as she rolled over as if avoiding whatever what going through her mind at the moment.

As the fox watched, she would see the mage pull her sheets up to remain warmer as she continued to snooze.

Maoin's eyes fluttered open mid speech as she had to move her head away from whatever was smothering her to take a few short breaths. The affection however caused the cat to meow happily a few times as she rested her head against one of the comfortable pillows before rubbing back slightly as she closed her eyes and simply seemed to enjoy the attention. "Meeeeeeewwww." Lady Sorcha would feel Maoin's cheek rubbing against her neck as the kitten's ear twitched beneath her nose.

Fia had a great time the previous day - Livia had really meant it when she said she would spend the entire day with her. The two of them went around to various stalls, booths, and even a quick ride or two which left the crimson haired girl laughing most of the time. She pushed back a few thoughts in the back of her mind that were clearly bothering her as they returned home.

There was one change in the office though. Rather than sitting behind the couch, the familiar had transferred her working space to be closer to the headmistress and instead sorted files behind the desk - still on the floor but close enough to the headmistress that her head was within touching distance. She seemed to be humming happily as she worked, setting another set of files on the side and deciding to take a break as someone new entered the room. Livia would feel a curious presence fill her as she peered around the desk and noticed Gwynn standing there.

"... servant back ...?" She hadn't really used her personal servant - it was a strange thought - but maybe having someone around wouldn't be that bad for when Livia was busy? Still though, her voice was quiet enough that Gwynn wasn't likely to hear - after all, she wasn't very good for the job.

Then her eyes shifted over towards the sea creature sitting on the couch - Ritsa, right? Fia gave the hydra a smile and wave, not sure exactly what the fin was meant to be used for but believing it had likely been a kind gift.

Katherine would wake up to the cat sleeping next to her, cuddling her arm for warmth and breathing quietly as she gripped on tighter. A few nibbles would follow as the girl was likely eating something in her dreams, but it was slight rather than being actually painful. "... fish ... more fish ..."

It seemed the meal from the previous day had left an impression on the cat.

Lunalel Lightsword

Luna woke up and looked over to seeing Maoin in Sorcha's clutches. It was kind of cute, really. She'd have left them be, but she needed Sorcha this morning. This was the one time today she could get Sorcha alone without arising the cat's suspicion She had this planned out since the night before. This was for Maoin's own good. The Knightess tugged on Sorcha's shoulder, trying to wake her up. "Sorcha. Sorcha. Stop messing with your new servant for five seconds. I need you to fly me out to class today." She said, moving to get changed into her normal clothes and breastplate.

Eith

Eith felt Miren wiggling out as she slowly woke up. She stayed over the night. It was nice holding onto someone as she slept. She's not done this in a long, long time. She tried to roll after the bunny to hold her again but straight up fell off the bed with an "Ophh." That was a good wake-up and she found herself soon stumbling into the kitchen. "Good morning, Bunny." Her eyes were still closing a bit, but that'd be over soon.

Katherine Lindall

Katherine woke up to her new familiar was nibbling on her. "Watch it." Katherine muttered as she flicked the cat on the forehead. On the bright side, it was time to wake up anyway. When the cat finally woke up, Katherine would speak to her. "Some good news for you. That Gwynn girl showed her face. She's over at Livia's office. . . I can show you there before class if you want. Otherwise, you can come here, join me while I teach, or just wander around today. I'll be sure to find you whatever you decide. After I'm finished we can go get your collar."

Kozue Komichi

Kozue had been up a while. Early to bed, early to rise after all. Since she had little else to do, she decided to go check up on the rumor of the lake. If it had healing properties she could use, than it was worthwhile to check out. She didn't even inform that Aetheria woman either. She could make it back if she needed since she memorized that way.

Mugi

"Touch her and I'll ki. . ." Mugi muttered in her sleep. It seemed to be some sort of intense dream from an outside prospective. It was too. She eventually woke up though. "I was just getting to the good part. . ." She said as she rolled over and peered down at Lyssa and Ayumi. It was cute, like two sisters. . . That tied each other up for sexual gratification. . . She shelved the thought. "Lysssssaaaaaaaa. Don't you have class today? Don't you think you should goooooo." It was definitely morning time.

~Livia Fiore~

Gwynn plopped down in the chair in front of Livia's desk as Ritsa spotted Fia. The hydra bolted over to where Fia was. Where should she start then? Livia probably wasn't interested in some tall tale spun in an effort to make the tale more exciting, would she?

"Well, made it to Atlantis, obviously." Gwynn started. "Easy 'nough, if ya don't mind sailin' straight into a whirlpool and somehow managin' not to have the whole ship capsize on ya." Gwynn chuckled, leaning forward a bit. "Only problem, Atlanteans aren't to welcomin' of outsiders. We show up, get arrested and were about to be fed to a certain Hydra." Gwynn said with smirk. "Me bein' as awesome as I am, manage to escape with me and some of the crew. Book it to some underwater caverns."

"Gwynn, dear, hurry this up will you please?"

"Er, right, sorry. Well, took a bit of convincing, but Evanthe - she's the princess and actin' ruler while her dad's sick. She's agreed to this little meetin' of yours. Says she'll be here sometime around the start of the festival next week."

"I see, that is wonderful. Then this child is the Hydra, then?"

"Yep," Gwynn said with a laugh. "Uh, she's not mine though. Evanthe took her before I could get my hands on her."

"Hm...not exactly according to plan then, but I suppose it works. Well, I shall meet with this 'Evanthe' once she comes, then." Livia said, leaning back in her seat. "Now, I wonder if we could talk about something else?"

"Eh? 'bout what?"

"Well...there's something out in the countries to the south eastern regions I would very much be interested in acquiring. You might have fun with it, if you don't mind a little sun..."

"...that sounds real interestin' and all, but I'm not doing anything for the next week, thanks."

"Haha, fair enough. Wait until after the festival then and we'll see about it."

Meanwhile, Ritsa found herself standing in front of Fia, grinning widely at the other girl. She plopped herself down in front of Fia, tail wagging back and forth as she grinned, but didn't really seem intent on doing or saying much.

~Sorcha~

The dragon yawned, still groggy and obviously not all too keen on waking up so easily. If anything, she was intent on cuddling the current object of her affections - the kitten whose ear was about to cause her to sneeze. When Maoin mewed though, the dragon blinked until she was awake, and gave Maoin a surprised look.

"Hmm...Maoin, however did you get there, Little One?" Sorcha said with another yawn as she sat up. "Tsk, Luna, I was trying to cuddle you." The dragon said with a sigh, stretching her wings as she sat on the edge of the bed. "But...fly you to class? Not that I would mind Luna, but after last time I thought you wouldn't be too keen on flying wit the Dragon again, heh~" She chuckled, hopping off the bed and walked over to where her armor had been neatly placed the evening before.

~Fox~

Still asleep, then? Well, as any good familiar she should definitely wake her master up, should she not? She turned her head towards the desk where the mage was working. What exactly could she use to mess with her 'dear master', she wondered? There had to be something around here she could use to mess with her a little bit before classes. Quills and ink?

Oh goody.

Taking the quill and ink, the fox leaned over on the bed and placed the end of it on Sel's cheek as she started doodling.

~Miren~

"Morning Eith." Miren said with a light chuckle as she watched the hound stumble out of the bed. "Sleep well?" She asked, hopping over to the kitchen and setting out some lettuce and tomatoes for herself, nimbly cutting up the tomato into neat slices. "Erm...you want meat of some sort, yes?" Oh goodness, she didn't have a whole lot of meat stocked. She had some, but Eith literally burned through a lot of it last night. She'd have to buy more if Eith was going to start staying over here.

~Lyssa~

"Hehe...donuts..." Lyssa snuggled Ayumi harder, to which the Ninja simply chuckled lightly. Now this was cuddling she could get used to.

"Hey Mugi. Don't wake up the demon of hugs. She might get angry and huggle you to death." Ayumi chuckled as Lyssa rubbed her head against Ayumi's neck.

"Noo, don't wanna goooo..." Lyssa continued in her half awake state. "Class boooring. Ayumi cuddly..."

"Heh, as much as I like the affection pink, I actually wanna go somewhere." Ayumi said, pulling herself out of the huggle demons' clutches.

"Nooo...huggle demon...will...hug you later..." Her grasp then turned to her pillow and she started hugging it. Ayumi hopped off the bed, she didn't seem to have changed from her usual attire since the previous day. She yawned, stretched, and turned her head to Mugi.

"If Pink asks, I'll be out at the lake. Fun stuff happens at lakes, heh~"

~Ayumi & Celine~

Didn't take long for Ayumi to find the lake - she had never actually been to one before, but she liked large bodies of water regardless. Mostly from the bath back home. So much fun to watch everyone through it, heh!~ She chuckled at the thought as she stood at the waters edge, unsheathing her two blades from their holsters. It was relaxing honestly, and she was glad to be away from Kouze. Still, she couldn't really bring herself to relax too much, despite the calmness of the situation. As she worked through the forms of using her blades fighting imaginary opponents, she only frowned.

She wished they weren't imaginary.

It was then she noticed, something rather odd. As she finished going through one of the motions an odd shimmering started glowing at the edge of the lake before water sprung out from the ground - taking the form of a rather...

"Those are definitely large bodies of water." Ayumi said, staring at the woman from a distance...who seemed to immediately take notice of her presence.

"H-human?!" The creature seemed surprised. "W-what are...I didn't sense you..." Celine was absolutely dumbfounded she hadn't been able to see Ayumi from the lake. "Y-you stand before Celine, Grand Undine of the lake, human! What is it you wish here?"

[Roleplayer001]

The mage continued to snore for a while as her face was being drawn on by her familiar, but eventually the brush caused her to sniff slightly as she began to stir and get up. Her eyes gradually opened as she looked around the room for a moment, seeing the fox right in front of her.

Based on the sun it would be time to get to class soon. Groggily she reached forward and gave Sly a quick pat on the head as thanks before heading to the bathroom and sitting on the stool with a yawn and a small stretch. For a moment she seemed like she was about to look in the mirror and start combing her own hair, but instead she gave a single glance over to her familiar and signaled her to come over with a movement of her head.

She wasn't expected to be a maid, but even the most proud servant would be expected to have some bonding time with their owner each day. "Thanks for waking me up. Anyways, I'd like you to do my hair for me ..." Yawn. "... alright ...?" It was rather apparent that if Selvina decided to take care of it herself the tattoo would likely be easily seen.

The kitten's demeanor became lest satisfied as the affection came to an end, the cat stretching out a little before realizing Lady Sorcha needed her assistance. Maoin walked over quickly as she let out a small yawn. "Lady Sorcha, please allow me." The cat gave her owner a quick massage on the shoulders and started to strap the armor onto the powerful dragon. After doing a once over the kitten seemed satisfied before letting off a stretch and looking once more at the bed longlingly. She was still tired from the previous night, and at least would like a nap while they flew together.

No, she should start getting ready for the day. Weren't they going out? The cat grabbed herself some clothes and headed into the bathroom to start changing.

Fia watched the excited Ritsa practically bolt in her direction before sitting down in front of her. The initial charge caused a small shiver to go down the crimson haired girl's spine, but the hydra's peaceful demeanor soon dispelled that belief. She seemed excited at least. The phoenix seemed content to continue the silence though as she forced out a smile in turn and tilted her head in a curious manner as if to indicate that Ritsa should be the one talking first.

The child was distracting her from the conversation Livia was having - someone had to watch her after all, right?

The cat felt a sharp pain run across her head as she woke up, grabbing it and letting out a slight hiss as she looked around for the perpetrator. Soon enough though her new mistress was looking at her and speaking however, and as the other woman described their plans for the day Meowka nodded. See that bitch? Wonder around? Teach class?

Well, she wasn't sure what she would be doing teaching, so that was an obvious no. And wondering around seemed like fun, but she'd done a lot of that in the past few weeks. Delivering a message to Gwynn though meant she would finish the final order Ronat gave her AND the opportunity to sock the woman that led to her poverty and death across the face. Then probably a kick to the crotch. Hopefully a bit more beating on the ground after that.

"Seeing Gwynn sounds fun. Might as well get this over with." The cat found her message, but the seething anger in her voice was very, very obvious. Kathrine would feel a little violence fill their bond as the night prowler stared into empty space in a bit of contemplation.

"I'll return here and nap afterwards. And then you pamper me with collar and foods." It wasn't so much a question as a complete statement of fact. It seemed the cat expected quite the royal treatment.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"Well, I don't think I'll mind it as much if you don't do hazardous things such as last time." Luna said as she fitted her armor perfectly and made sure it was tight. "All I can say is that even I get mad at family Sorcha." Hopefully that would be enough to dissuade the dragon from doing tha again. Not like she'd give Sorcha the time do that.

Eith

"That'd be great, but I understand if you wanted to hold back on it. I can eat anything." The Shellagh said as she watched what the bunny did. She didn't tell Caras she'd be out all night. It wasn't exactly planned or anything but. . . Would Caras care at all? She'd figure out later. "I'm happy to just eat."

Katherine Lindall

"Do what you will. You were sick, so resting may be a good idea." Katherine said as she changed out of what she had been in since the night before and into something clean. "No, if you could reserve yourself and not spill blood that'd be great, Meowka." She motioned for the cat to follow her. She needed to get going as quickly as possible.

Kozue Komichi

It had been a silent trip to the lake. Kozue didn't have anyone to talk to, but she probably wouldn't talk to anyone much anyhow. When she arrived, she noticed just how beautiful the lake was. She had never really seen a sight like this. It was calming and peaceful and hopefully a place she could meditate. Something caught her eye though. A familiar face and a watery woman. "Ayumi? Is that you?"

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Livia Fiore~

"Anyways, uh Livia." Gwynn said rubbing the back of her neck in a slightly unsure manner. "Mind watching Ritsa for the day? I kinda got something I need to do myself." Gwynn asked. She wanted some alone time before heading to meet whoever this supposed Runvall was. Had to make sure her crew was behaving after all, and needed to make sure there wasn't anything that she needed to do.

"Oh, I certainly wouldn't mind." Livia said with a small smirk. "It looks like Ritsa and Fia have taken a liking to each other - it'd be nice to see Fia have someone else to play with."

"Ah great...well, if there's nothing else you need, then I should get going."

"Don't let me keep you, then. I'll make sure Ritsa behaves."

"Alright." Gwynn stood, looking behind the desk and giving Ritsa a stern look. "You heard her. Stay here for a bit, Ritsa. I've got some things to do."

"Wah?" At first, Ritsa pouted before realizing that meant that she'd get to play with Fia. The hydra turned her attention immediately to the phoenix, seemingly content with just watching her work for now. "Alright, Ritsa will stay here. Hey, Hey, Fia, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Ritsa was content to stay here for a bit, Gwynn gave a final wave to the headmistress before walking out of the room. Whew, as much as she liked Ritsa the brat was a handful sometimes. She always had a tendency to wonder off if she didn't keep her eye on her all the time. It'd be nice to kick back and have a bit of fun with the rest of the crew for a bit.

~Sorcha~

"Oh, my thank you Maoin." Sorcha said with a bright smile before turning to Luna. "When have I ever put you in a hazardous situation? Does my knight not trust my flying capabilities?" Sorcha said with a small pout before shaking her head with a small laugh. "But very well, I'll make sure to use the door instead of using the window this time as well." Once the armor was strapped on and she was ready to go, the dragon looked to the door.

"Shall we be off then? Stretching my wings every now and then is a good thing, you know."

~Fox~

Immediately as Sel awoke, Fox hid both the ink and feather behind her back as the mage groggily woke up. Haha, she hadn't been discovered her. As the mage walked to the mirror and wash room to clean herself, the fox replaced both the ink and pen feather. Soon enough though, the mage requested her to do her hair...which was more than a little problem. With a small sigh the fox shook her head.

"Silly master," The fox said with her usual amount of having zero respect with the actual title. "I have never done hair in my life. My own nor anyone else." She walked into the room - but if she didn't do something though, then Sel was likely to notice her shenanigans. It'd be better if she didn't notice it until halfway through the day. Best to distract her with something else. "It is easy enough for my kind to always look our best. If my ever so generous master would prefer, I can give you a light massage." Not that she would normally even think about touching this human, but...potential for laughs were too great.

~Miren~

"No no, it's ahem, fine," Miren replied as she rummaged around the kitchen for a few preserved pieces of meat. "I'm just...not much of a meat eater myself so I don't really keep a lot around and I wasn't really expecting you to stay over so, erm...hehe." The rabbit laughed nervously. After a few minutes she walked out of the kitchen carrying a few sandwiches - something purely vegetables for herself and a sandwich filled with pork, small strips of beef and some lettuce on it. She'd have to go shopping again, wasn't she? Aaah, sweet money she was already going to be going into the red...

With a small sigh, she sat the plate on the table and took a seat at it, wondering what exactly to talk about. Eith was...difficult to talk too.

~Ayumi & Celine~

"Me? Oh, uh, nothing really." Ayumi said with a grin. "Juuuust admiring the view. It's pretty great." It was rather obvious what exact view Ayumi was speaking of, and the undine knew it just as well. With a deadpan expression, Celine raised an eyebrow at Ayumi, holding her hands together.

"...Yes, the lake is absolutely lovely because of me." Celine replied in her usual haughty manner. "And I will not be having you humans wash your filth in it."

"Woah woah, I would never bathe in such a pretty lake." Ayumi replied.

"Your...perverse thoughts are so obvious and it's so incredibly shameful it's almost painful." Celine's shoulders drooped slightly as she eyed Ayumi. "I was hoping that not all humans such as yourself would be so filthy." Suddenly, a tendril of water grabbed Ayumi by the ankles, hoisting her up into the air.

"Hey now, usually people ask before tying me up...not that I mind, heh. Tie me up all you want too." Seemingly taking her up on that offer, a few more tendrils of water crossed their way across Ayumi's body, even tightening their grip as she was suspended in the air.

"You're even worse than that damnable teacher." Celine replied with a huff. "But that's okay, Celine will thoroughly cleanse you of those dirty thoughts of yours." A small groan escape Ayumi's lips as the watery bindings tightened. Celine lowered her to the ground, slamming her body against a nearby tree earning another quiet grunt. "Yes," Celine walked closer to the ninja who didn't seem intent on moving at all. "Celine will take good care of you..."

"Ayumi? Is that you?"

Kouze's voice caused Ayumi's head to turn in her direction.

"...Oh hey, Kouze. You have great timing. Here to ruin my fun?" The hostility in Ayumi's voice likely would have been surprising to Kouze. Or maybe not. Either way, there was definite hostility there.

"Oh...what's this? Another filthy human. Breathing the same air as you almost makes me want to vomit. Your kind seems to be coming around here more often lately...what are you doing here, then? If you wish an audience with the great Celine, you will wait. I am busy purifying this one."

[Roleplayer001]

The mage raised an eyebrow towards the fox and nodded. That made since - if there was an imperfection with her appearance the fox could just transform again and it would be gone. She actually felt a little jealous. Of course, she could be trained to help her out but the offer of a massage took Selvina back. "... a massage ...? It was obvious she was still waking up as she yawned and brought the comb in her hair a few times just to get rid of the worst tangles. "... yeah. Thank you, Sly ..." The noble adjusted their nightgown so the shoulder straps wouldn't get in the way of her dress and used her right arm to make sure it was still propped up.

Maybe her initial impression of the familiar was wrong, or she was happy after having a bit of free time the previous night? If she kept up this ... comparably good ... behavior she'd find a nice reward, but the mage had no idea what exactly she could be given. It wasn't a great massage, but then again the fox had been locked in a cage for the past thousand years or so. The mage simply allowed herself to press against the hands though and let out a sigh of satisfaction - if she ever returned to her father's estate she would be able to order the servants there to give her better ones every day, but this was certainly better than nothing.

Taken a liking to her? Fia shot Livia a look of protest as her feelings became apparent through the bond. Hadn't it been obvious that she had only passed the teddy-bear off to get rid of the Hydra? As Gwynn left the door though the fire haired girl resigned herself and realized that the headmistress was trying to get her to meet new people. Especially happy, overly excited idiots. It's not that the girl was evil or anything but ... despite being the same age, the phoenix sensed that this girl hadn't been through anything like herself. She didn't hate the girl, but how were they supposed to relate. What were they supposed to 'play' together anyways?

Of course if she told the girl off she assumed that Livia would be angry with her, and after how nice the headmistress was the previous day ... with a sigh Fia decided to be a bit diplomatic as she crawled back over to the various stacks of paper on the floor as she started to shift her hands through them. "... I'm ... busy with these ..."

She seemed to shuffle through various stacks of paper and gradually divided piles into subpiles. "... sort based on ... priority ... type ... alphabet ... signatures ..." For once the phoenix was glad that she had so much paperwork. "... I'll finish around ... six ... eight at night ...?" Livia would sense she became more relaxed as she wasn't required to play some silly games with her outside.

"I ... I promise I won't." The night prowler seemed upset to say that, but it was important she at least got the contents of the message across before she beat the ever living shit out of that goddamn bitch. The mage would sense the remaining violence in their bond, although she would sense that it was far more controlled than before.

As she looked at the motion to follow the cat walked by the archwizard's side, surprised at how heavy a complete set of newer clothes seemed. This archwizard was being fairly nice to her though. But ... "Hey, Archwizard. You got a title or something?" She expected something like 'Vesulurxa the Grand Doll Master' but would probably let the wizard state what was going on herself.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"The window is fine, just. . . None of those twist and turns you did last time. I couldn't think the last time you did and I got pulled into a fine mess by Lyssa." Luna joked. Well, either way she followed for whatever Sorcha did. She just needed to make sure to talk to Sorcha before she came back home. She wasn't exactly sure what to say though.

Eith

"Thanks." Eith said with a soft smile as she bit into the sandwich. It was good and a nice mix of flavours. She was use to the single flavours standing out on their own but this was more than that. "I'll have Caras give money for this." She said with her continued smile. It cost money for just about anything in this society it seemed. "It's good."

Katherine Lindall

"Archwizard? Title?" Katherine had to ask. Well, she wasn't an Archmage, that much was for sure. "Some people call me 'the Puppeteer' and others 'that Nymphomaniac Lesbian' but I don't think that one is true. . . Much. Rather, you can just call me 'Mistress Katherine.'" She half expected the cat wouldn't do such a thing, but she'd be internally laughing if she did. Luckily, it wasn't too far a walk from where the teachers' dorms were to Livia's office. "So, why such hostilities against that Gwynn girl?" Katherine had to ask. She wanted to be sure of everything before they got to talking to the girl.

Kozue Komichi

A scowl came over Kozue's face. She had gotten use to Ayumi's perverse nonesense over that years, but those words hurt. She answered Ayumi first slipping into their native language, "If you think I've nothing better to do than prevent your perverse actions, think again. You got your freedom and that Black Fox got much better than she deserved. . ." Kozue went silent but soon answered the Undine. "I have an ancient spirit inside me, that all but sacrificed the last of her strength to seperate an evil spirit from my 'sister' you have rather than seal or kill either. The headmistress told me that this lake had healing properties, so I wanted to come see if it had any effect on the spirit inside me. I just thought I owed it to her." She took a look at Ayumi in her compromised position and turned around, ready to leave. "But obviously, I'm not wanted or needed so I shall return to Aetheria."

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Livia Fiore~

"Ah...paperwork?" Ritsa titled her head to the side, not seeming to really understand. All the Hydra could see was just sheets of white and not something she'd be too interested in. She thought about just having a bit of fun and clawing it, but mommy said she should try to learn things! That would be hard when she couldn't really read or write though. So with a grin, Ritsa scooted over to sit next to Fia.

"Paperwork looks boring." Ritsa grinned. "Fia is boring?" She tilted her head to the side.

~Sorcha~

"The window then? OKAY!~" Before Luna could even really have a chance to regret her words, the dragon flapped her wings, and lifted herself into the air, and launched herself right towards Luna and practically tackling the knight as she wrapped her in a tight hug. The dragon zoomed out the window - Luna said no twists and turned, but that didn't mean she couldn't have a bit of fun with it!~

The dragon took a near ninety degree turn and soared into the sky, carrying Luna with her.

"Enjoying the view and the ride, Luna?~"

~Fox~

For the most part, the fox kept quiet and at least put in some effort into the massage, though it was likely clear she was fairly still inexperienced or didn't particularly care much. After a minute or so though, the fox finished what she could

"My ever so punctual master will be late if she stays any longer." She said with a small smile. Truthfully there was still time, but she could only take a small amount of...this before she felt like burning something. For the moment, she didn't bring up anything in regards to what she was supposed to be doing. If Sel forgot, she'd just have the day off to do whatever. Which was fine with her. She had someone she needed to go meet anyways.

~Miren~

"W-waaah? Nono, you don't have to pay me. It's fine!" Miren replied. "It's fine, really. I'll just need to, erm, re-adjust my plans a bit is all." She shook her head with a sigh. "A-anyways, will you be staying over often then? I could have another bed put in given some time." One of Miren's ears twitched out of seeming curiosity. Despite the rather suddenness of these events, she hadn't really been all that oppose to it, but the Bunny had never really been the most assertive of people anyways.

~Ayumi & Celine~

Ayumi merely grunted at Kouze's response, not seeming to particularly care for whatever it was she said. After the events at the temple...honestly, the Ninja didn't really want anything to do with Kouze. Not at the moment at least, so she didn't try to stop her when she tried to leave. Celine however, seemed to have different plans. The tendrils holding Ayumi vanished, retreating back into the water as the undine gave a long, suspicious look to Kouze.

"Halt, human." She commanded as Kouze turned to leave. "A spirit, you say? Curious...I can't fathom why a spirit would house itself in such a filthy vessel...but the headmistress is correct. My lake has healing properties and if one spends enough time it can even soothe the soul. Tell me more about this spirit, human. I would be interested in helping it."

[Roleplayer001]

Selvina nodded, then found herself remembering the date as well. Oh no, she needed to hurry!

Luckily she had read up on manuals for makeup and such and although she hadn't purchased any hopefully she'd at least be able to- as her head looked up into the mirror she noticed that there was some pretty Asian characters written on her cheek. Frankly, they looked beautiful although she had no idea what they said. "... I ... I didn't know you were into calligraphy ..." Perhaps the fox had been intending to help her out with a little beatification that came form her culture? "... thanks, I guess ...?"

That actually was a useful skill. Though as she looked into the mirror she realized it was likely going to be a bad idea to let the fox wander around all day. "Hmmm ... I don't expect you to be a maid, but you need to learn at least a few skills useful for serving me. I'd like you to stay inside here for today and practice something that you'd think would be useful for me - I just expect you to tell me what it was when I get back." She'd been relatively good so she'd earned a little autonomy. Perhaps she'd buy a larger house here and hire another servant if things changed, but for now she was a noble lady who needed at least a little attending to.

As she ran around the room and got herself ready the mage threw on a new set of robes and finished tidying her hair as she prepared to leave the apartment. "I'll get you some nice food from that restaurant again if you do well, alright Sly?"

The Phoenix looked over the hydra as she seemed to examine the paperwork for a few moments, and then declare both herself and the work she did boring. Fia looked towards Ritsa with a slightly agitated look before realizing this may be a blessing in disguise.

"... yes ... paperwork boring ..." It wasn't a lie exactly. But a bit more explanation would probably help. "... have to help Livia with it ..." Especially after taking the previous day off the sheets were stacked fairly high. Truthfully the headmistress would likely be a little overwhelmed if she went away. Or she'd be forced to hire a new worker that could be less than trustworthy.

"... me boring ... maybe ...?" Fia wasn't exactly sure how to answer that question. She was being boring at the moment, at least. But was she boring as a person?

Either way, it was clear this girl needed some other form of entertainment or else she'd keep on being bugged by her. The crimson haired girl pointed at the doll that always hid in a certain crevice in the office. "... you could play .... with doll ...? It even moves ..." Now that it was pointed out, the object would likely be clear to Ritsa.

She hoped Livia would think that was clever enough to not be upset with her choosing to not take care of the beast.

Meowka listened to the other woman list of her titles. 'The Puppeteer' sounded like something she expected and sounded appropriate for the way she behaved. But 'Nymphomaniac Lesbian' made the cat chuckle a bit.

Mistress Katherine' though?

The thought made the cat pause mentally for a moment. Ronat had been her mistress beforehand, and even though the two were generally informal Meowka still thought of her as such. Thinking of another taking that position made the cat feel a little sick ...

... but then again she had been ordered to move on, probably the only serious order she had ever received. Even if she'd never be a maid she was this woman's familiar. And the mage had promised to take care of her seemed to intend to treat her like some luxurious pet.

The next subject made her blood keep boiling. Sure, she'd tell her new mistress about the situation. Maybe the archwizard would help. "Ronat died in my arms from an easily cured disease that we couldn't afford the medicine for. Her dying breaths were spent on the very fucking cousin that convinced her parents that she should not be invited to the family because of some play time rivalry."

Meowka's voice went cold. "Mistress Katherine, the moment I deliver Ronat's message I am going to tell that woman off and beat the ever living shit out of her." She had problems with her littermate Maoin as well, but this was a one step at a time issue. "Ronat would be disappointed in me if I killed her, so I'll try not to."

It seemed that Katherine's earlier order about 'don't spill blood' was being taken in a minimal sense.

Lunalel Lightsword

"Stop it you idiot!" Luna cried out as she held onto the dragon, she knew she'd regret it. "I have something serious to talk about today so carefully and calmly take us down." She wouldn't mind it so much if she hadn't started both rides into the air like this. Really, why couldn't the dragon show off in a graceful way? "It involves a certain cat."

Eith

"It's not like it's my money. I came here because Caras promised me food if I behaved and didn't eat humans. It wasn't my plan in the first place so it was like free food for me." Eith said as she bit into her sandwich more. It was absolutely delicious. "But, I might stay over some. It's more comforting here for sure, but I can just sleep with you. My body's warm so it should feel good to cling to me at night. I think." She looked the bunny in the eyes. It was calm, for Eith. She really had no plans at this point. Perhaps she'd stay some with Caras and then with the Bunny? If Caras didn't just tell her to get our with that new familiar being around. She didn't care for that Fox much in the first place. "Unless you don't like it."

Katherine Lindall

"You know, there can be better ways to do something than physically beating them up. Personally, I think you should avoid that whole violence nonsense right now. It will not turn out well for you." Katherine giggled slightly as the reached Livia's office, well, rather, Gwynn walking out of it. "Oh my, we were just talking about you Gwynn. I have friend here with a message for you to read. I hear it's from some family member of yours." Katherine was smiling, curious as to what the letter said. Her face had a look of, "Oh, I hope you read it aloud."

____________________________________

Inside Livia's office, the doll that made a home there panicked slightly Fia had mentioned its home. Damned girl! These dolls were no mere toys! Rather, they were instruments of communication in this case. It jumped from it's spot in a cabinet and quickly made it to Livia's desk, taking a piece of scrap paper and scribbling. "Please stop her. I'm busy dealing with a cat and a pirate and I don't want to have to deal with this sort of thing at the moment."

Kozue Komichi

Kozue went silent as the Undine explained her intentions. She didn't know if she was trustworthy considering what she was doing to Ayumi. "It's the spirit of a nameless White Fox, she possessed me to continue her mission. It's sibling was a spirit driven mad by an ancient god. . ." She gave a light retelling of what happened in the past leading up to the point of Ayumi and the fox spirit being seperated. Not like it hurt anyone else to know at this point. "That's the basics of it. That said, I'm hated enough as it is it would seem though."

If Ayumi was going to act like that, Kozue felt no need to be around her. Not that she had a choice in the matter, but what happened was likely the best option for Ayumi. After what had happened at the temple, Kozue would have preferred the black fox spirit not be released on the world though. Still, what's done is done. "But, if doing the right thing for the world makes me hated, then so be it."

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Livia Fiore~

As Fia mentioned the doll, Ritsa's gaze turned immediate towards it - and noticed it moving of all things. The effect was almost immediate. Ritsa pounced after it - nearly running into Livia's desk as she poked her head over the side of it and watched it scribble something onto a piece of paper. It looked between it and Livia with wide, clearly interested eyes.

"Oh come now, Katherine." Livia chuckled. "Ritsa just wants to play with it. What harm could that be, hmm? Think of it as a lesson in multitasking." Livia picked up the doll and plopped it right onto the ground in front of Ritsa who immediately knelt down to the dolls level and gave it an experimental poke.

~Gwynn~

"Oof-hey, watch it-eh?" Gwynn nearly ran right into Meowka as she left the room. At first she thought it was Maoin, but quickly dismissed that idea. She knew exactly who it was, but it wasn't Maoin. It was another cat she was definitely familiar with. Meowka. Her cousins familiar. Did that mean Ronat was here? Well then, maybe this place wasn't so bad after all.

"Meowka, what are...is Ronat here?" Gwynn grinned, looking positively excited for meeting her old cousin. Oh sure, the two didn't exactly have 'peaceful' relations, but she was probably still one of the few people Gwynn could say with 100% certainty she'd like. Before she could get an answer though, a letter was shoved right into her hands, and that teacher - katherine was her name, right? Definitely looked like she wanted to know what was in it.

"Meowka...what is this?" She asked, holding the letter. No way was she reading it here though. Not in front of Katherine at least. Instead she tucked the letter into the hem of her hat. "Eh, I'll read it later. Probably just Ronat bitching at me or something. I'll kick her ass next time I see her. Where is she anyways? Not licking her boots like usual, are ya Meowka?" Gwynn grinned.

~Sorcha~

"Tsk, no fun." The dragon sighed as she slowed to a more reasonable speed and started her descent. Talk about Maoin, though? What exactly needed to be talked about? Sorcha wasn't entirely certain, but if Luna wanted to talk it probably would be best to talk...though she could hazard a guess that perhaps it wouldn't be entirely good times for her involved. Still, that'd be rude and shameful to not speak of it.

"There we go," Sorcha said, dropping Luna the last foot or so onto the ground. "Safe and sound! You should really try flying more. It's really fun you know." The dragon chuckled. "Now...Maoin. Right, what do you wish to speak of?"

~Fox~

Worked on...something Sel liked? What would that even be? She had no clue and she had no real intention of actually going through with that order. At least...not that Sel would really even know that. With a sigh the fox shook her head in her usual catty manner.

"Orders me to work and I don't even get breakfast." The fox chided. "Master must wish me to starve to death. I'll think of something to try and...occupy my time with." That said, it wasn't entirely a joke. "This one will find something to sustain itself on it's own." What exactly could she do with her free time, though? No way was she going to actually do it, but she had to at least look like she tried something.

But she had plenty of time to come up with something. Maybe she would go out and buy food and try to pass it off as her making it...hrm~

~Miren~

"E-eh, no it's fine! This is just...all really sudden so erm, I'm just not really prepared for it. I'm n-not really good with sudden changes like this, hehe." The rabbit giggled in a somewhat unsure manner as she finished the last of the sandwich. "E-erm, I don't mind sharing my bed either. I-it wasn't like it was bad or anything." Miren shook her head. "B-but I should get to work...so erm, make yourself at home or something? I'll be downstairs if you need me."

Miren got up from the table, before making her way downstairs.

~Ayumi & Celine~

"Hm...curious. I have not seen a human who would say such things for a simple spirit." Celine replied. "As I said, it is true my waters have healing properties. Perhaps if you...bathed in them," She looked like she had to resist vomiting at the idea of it. "It could help the spirit." Celine looked at Kozue, seeming to study her for a few seconds more before continuing.

"...it perhaps my be best if we return to my residence. The waters there are the purest and, as it is where I spend most of my time, the cleanest." Ayumi simply scoffed, leaning against the tree she had been held against earlier but otherwise not saying much. Kozue. Ruining her fun as usual, even if it wasn't intentional.

"Don't pout you," Celine said a small whip of water smacking Ayumi suddenly right across the butt. "Celine still has plans to cleanse you."

[Roleplayer001]

Selvina rolled her eyes as the Fox commented on starving to death. "Look, there's food in the closet you know. You can make yourself a sandwich." The mage was capable of even doing that without a servant, and sometimes it was too rainy to go out on days when she needed to study to make her As into A+. "Anyways, I'm going now." The mage left the apartment, closing the door behind her.

She wondered how the fox was going to plan and mess with her today.

Fia watched the hydra start playing with the doll and let out a relaxed breath, especially since Livia seemed to encourage it. The crimson haired girl muttered a thanks to the headmistress under her breath as she continued to sort the files, starting to make some headway into the next stack.

Although another thought popped into her mind as she did so. "... Livia ... new servant ...?" Not that she necessarily needed or wanted one, but the headmistress had tried to get her to boss the girl who just left around at least a little. And it was possible the woman would want a replacement.

Meowka contemplated the idea of avoiding the whole 'violence nonsense' for a moment. Then her fist flew straight into Gwynn's face. She hissed for a moment before stopping herself midway through throwing the second one and instead pushing the pirate up against a nearby wall. "Ronat. Is. Dead."

It hurt a little to say it, but that was the truth. "We couldn't afford medicine to cure her illness. It wasn't even that expensive." The cat was seething with anger. "I'm sure you are glad that you convinced your fucking parents not allow her in the family you bitch." She considered restarting the fight there, but the lesbian nymph's words ran through her mind and she stopped herself. Besides, Ronat had spoken well of Gwynn and wouldn't want to see her dead.

Of course, she had another person to talk with. "Anyways, where is my littermate? That insufferable kitten? I have business with her as well." Meowka's fists were clenched and she had violence written in her eyes.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

Luna felt she was ready to collapse, but she caught herself as she hit the ground. She really didn't want to push this specific issueat the moment. Now was the time to talk about Maoin. "I'm not sure how much you really care, but Maoin came back last night rather late. That'd have been fine in itself, but she poured herself a drink as soon as she got home." She was starting to feel her legs fully again and crossed her arms. "I got her to talk to me, but she made me promise not to tell you. I told her so long as no one would be harmed I wouldn't. . . But. . . Well, just hear it first."

She told the dragon just about everything they talked about the night before, well, except that thing about sex. She didn't need the dragon teasing her about that for as long as it would undoubtedly happen. "I know you wouldn't, but don't eat her alive because of this." Sorcha was a good person deep down. Highly arrogant albeit with a support backing it up, but good. "I don't understand how she can still think of Gwynn like that, Sorcha. It's odd to me."

Eith

Eith followed Miren downstairs. "Actually, I'm going to go out. I've not talked to Caras since yesterday. I should her know I'm alright. If she cares." The Shellagh didn't sound sure about that last part but gave Miren a hug, imitating something she saw between friends before walking out and towards Selvina's place. She hoped she'd find the mage at or on the way to the apartment.

Katherine Lindall

"Livia, I swear I'm going to kill you." Katherine said as Gwynn asked about Meowka's old master. Katherine took the moment to head towards the door to Livia's office. The little doll inside would run to the door at a quick pace and disappear into Katherine's ring. It took only long enough for Katherine to do that so the first sight she had when she turned around was Meowka's fist smacking into Gwynn's face. She couldn't help but sigh as the cat slammed Gwynn into the wall. Katherine scratched her head slightly trying to figure out what to do exactly. In the end, she smacked Meowka on the head. It wouldn't leave a mark or anything and actually, there was hardly pain at all but it should be enough to bring her back to Earth a bit. "Stop it, or you're not getting that collar later." Katherine looked over Gwynn though, "Not that this girl doesn't deserve a little pain, but you're not the cat to do that."

She shook her head. "That particular cat has a new master though, Meowka. A dragon I believe it was. That said, if you do anything to that servant the dragon and the dragon's master would come down on you with no mercy." She feigned a look of shock as she looked back to Gwynn. "Now girl, I'm sure you have a few minutes, so would you please read that message? Perhaps you'll understand this familiar of mine's anger, or perhaps she'll stop blaming you for things that a quite probably beyond your control." She really had no idea, but she was curious for sure.

Kozue Komichi

"If it's true, it may be a good idea." Kozue said, half hoping at this point that Ayumi wouldn't go as well. Really, she knew better than to hope for that. "Fret not though, I like to think myself clean of body and pure of spirit. I do not believe I will sully your waters much. I'll be in your care, Celine the Water Spirit." She was unsure of what the being was, so that was all she was sure of. Still, she placed a hand over a clenched fist and bowed. Hopefully, this would speed up the process of healing for the White Fox. If not, it's not like it changed anything.

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Livia Fiore~

"New servant, Fia?" Livia mused. "You can order Cynthia around if you want, you know. She's quite skilled in a number of areas. Though, her new girlfriend might kill the both of us if you asked her about that." A teacup was placed on the desk rather forcefully as Cynthia gave the headmistress an uneasy smile. Livia simply chuckled lightly, obviously amused by the turn of the events.

Ritsa though, was a bit less so. She chased after the doll as it ran across the room, before promptly slamming right into the door as it closed again, unable to stop herself as the doll disappeared into a ring. The Hydra thought about simply breaking down the door - she was definitely physically capable of it but that'd make mommy sad. With a small pout the Hydra walked back over to where Fia was.

"Doll ran." She said, retaking her seat next to the phoenix."Fia, lets play."

~Gwynn~

Punched! Again!

"Not sure I deserved that one," Gwynn grunted as she held her face where Meowka had socked her. Jesus, what's with everyone and punching? She could understand Maoin slapping her but this was ridiculous. She was going to have words with Ronat-

"W-wait...what?" It took a few minutes for Meowka's words to sink in. Ronat...was dead? That was...the young pirate couldn't find the words to immediately respond. It sounded like a stupid joke, really, but from the way Meowka was acting it probably wasn't and around halfway through the cats little tirade, Gwynn stopped listening. Ronat was dead. That...Gwynn's legs suddenly felt like protesting any movement she made.

"She's...she's not here." Gwynn shoved Meowka off of her. "I...I need a drink, and you're not hearing anything." Gwynn started walking. One foot in front of the other. She...

She wasn't sure what she felt, but she needed to be alone at the moment.

~Sorcha~

"...I see." Sorcha commented quietly once Luna was done with. At first, Sorcha might have been a little angry. Maoin was hers now after all, and while the dragon wouldn't mind the kitten finding someone outside of their relationship this was...a bit much. It was rather obvious this Gwynn had no intention of reciprocating the kitten's feelings, and it definitely wasn't healthy for her to keep this mindset. That said, Maoin was also hers. One who did not take care of their things, would find their things breaking and their shine fading.

"While I am somewhat annoyed she didn't trust me enough to talk to me about this, all I can say is that young people are foolish when they're in love, or at least think they are. Including a certain dragon you may know." Sorcha said with a light chuckle. "I however, agree. It's silly and the cat is being absolutely foolish. When I...did this, I was sort of hoping she could at least help her get over it, but I unfortunately do not think its working that well." The dragon frowned, trying to think of what she could do here. She did care for the kitten to be sure. "Giving her 'time' may not work that well either. It could simply cause it to fester and become an old, gnarled root that she can not get rid of and clouds her judgement. We can't really force it either. That would simply be bad for the kitten's already low opinion of herself." The dragon sighed, shaking her head.

"I suppose we could make this Gwynn speak with the kitten again...but as she has already been rejected by this person twice, I can not really say that Gwynn is the one that is really at fault here. It could be her fault the kitten ended up this way to begin with, but...including her in any way may simply make things worse for both parties. I would say the kitten needs to find something else to occupy her time with, but the kitten just doesn't seem to want to do anything simply for herself."

Sorcha was honestly out of ideas at this point. Running into Gwynn again had not been good for the kitten's psyche, that was for certain.

~Fox~

Sel had barely been gone for ten minutes when the Fox became keenly aware of someone at the door. Huh, a visitor? Well, as any 'good' and 'trustworthy' familiar, she should definitely take care of any visitors her 'master' had. With a small grin the fox moved over to the door, opening it quickly and suddenly before the other party had a chance to even grab the doorknob. Just as fast, the fox reverted to her fox form and slunk back into the shadows of the room, making sure to try and stay out of sight.

"Oho...I recognize you. One of the mage's friends." The fox's voice seemed to echo slightly off the walls. "Do tell what it is you want here. 'Master' is out at the moment. I would suggest coming back later. I have no desire to converse with the likes of you, smelly mongrel."

~Ayumi & Celine~

"Proper respect from a human. Now that is something rare indeed." Celine said with a slightly amused expression. "Very well then...hold on. This will take a moment. And do hold your breath." Before Ayumi or Kozue could react, watery tendrils grabbed them by the ankles and pulled them quickly towards the lake, before dragging them under the waves. Barely a minute later Ayumi and Kozue would find themselves tossed onto a rocky floor in the deepest parts of the caves that extended under the lake, right where Celine made her home.

"Welcome to my abode." Celine said, re-forming her body as she stepped onto the surface. "Make yourselves at home the best you can. There's not much here that would interest a human such as yourself." She turned to Kozue. "Now...that pool over there is something you may find helpful. Do remove those filthy clothes of yours first, however."

[Roleplayer001]

For a moment Fia wondered what Livia meant by THAT until she remembered how she had snuck into the room that one time to spectate on what exactly 'fun' meant. That - that wasn't what she had intended, and a slight blush ran across her face. She'd had enou-

The doll ran away? Dang it. The phoenix looked up at the hydra with a little irritation but tried to keep herself at least somewhat pleasant. Ritsa wasn't mean at all, simply annoying. But she really had work to do and tried to conceal her annoyance as Ritsa continued to bug her. "... Ritsa, Livia gave me this work ..." Perhaps passing it off on the older headmistress would be a good idea? "... if I don't do it, she'll be angry with me." That wasn't probably true, but Fia was counting on Livia at this point to find some way to distract the girl.

As Meowka winced from getting smacked on the head she allowed Gwynn to leave the wall, mumble some words, and stumble away. The night prowler's anger was still fuming, but she didn't want her new mistress to be to upset with her. And besides, she had gotten that nice right hook in. It was probably worthwhile to settle for that and allow herself to be given a few luxuries by the mage later. "Fine. I'll go home now and take a nap Mistress Katherine ..." Despite the previous day of healing she wasn't feeling in perfect tip top shape.

If the woman didn't stop her, Meowka would leave to return back to the teacher's dorm and pass out on the bed they shared the night before.

[Pyromania99]

Lunalel Lightsword

"Well, whatever you do, don't needlessly talk to her about it until we can figure something out." Luna shook her head, unsure of what she should do overall with the situation. She had class, so she should probably just get going now. "Well, whatever. Make sure we meet up after class if we're still shopping." Luna said, smiling. It would be an interesting afternoon.

Eith

Eith was a little surprised when the door opened but realized quickly the smell of fox acompanying the voice. "I care little for you either. So the feeling is mutual." Eith wanted to eat this fox, but that probably couldn't happen anyway so she dropped the thought. "I've lived in this room since before you arrived. Is it so strange to come home?" Eith asked. Still, the fox was right. Caras was not home and Eith did not especially want to be around this fox. But the one place Caras was sure to appear would be here. She walked over and curled up in her bed in the corner. "If you don't want to talk to me, then don't."

Katherine Lindall

"Stubborn to the end that girl." Still, that wasn't a reaction one would take to someone they didn't like. Katherine was sure of that. Questioning it will come later. "Sure, go take a nap." As the cat walked off, Katherine opened the door to Livia's office and stepped in. She summoned her doll discretely in a cabinet so the random monster Gwynn brought wouldn't know of it. Hopefully, Livia wouldn't either notice or care to point it out. "Livia, pray tell you don't plan on having me try to repair a doll when I may or may not be around." The Puppeteer got a horribly great idea though. This creature seemed overly playful. Hopefully, she seemed naive as well. "Hey, you, playful one. Come here." She whispered to the hydra a few things that weren't especially true. But Katherine was feeling a slight bit spiteful. "Fia may say that, but she just can't be honest with herself. She probably really wants to play with you but just can't admit it. If you keep trying and maybe just start playing with her, she'll eventually go along with you."

Kozue Komichi

Kozue held her breath as she was dragged underwater to this layer of the Water Spirit. It was beautiful as far as natural formations went. Still, had this 'Celine' not shown how disinterested in 'dirty' things as she had, Kozue would worry for seperate types of interest when she was told to take her clothes off. She didn't especially have a problem with it. Ayumi had seen her bare enough times and Celine didn't seem too much a threat if treated with respect. So she disrobed. "Very well." She also removed her chest bindings before dipping slowly into the pool of water. It was cool for sure. "Thank you."

[Rune_Alchemist]

~Livia Fiore~

Ritsa walked over to Katherine, quite interested in this new person.

"But you're ever so talented, Katherine dear." Livia said with a light chuckle. "And I don't think Ritsa would have hurt the poor thing too much." She mused, turning her attention back to Fia. "And angry with you, Fia? Heavens no. I could never be angry with you." She continued. "Besides, Ritsa here is your friend, isn't she? I could handle it well enough without you here before dear, so if you want please do."

Not that Ritsa needed more encouragement after hearing Katherine's words. The Hydra ran back over to Fia, practically tackling the other girl with a hug.

"Hey hey, lets play!" Before Fia could even say no the Hydra grabbed Fia by the hand and pulled her to her feet and would drag her away from the desk.

~Gwynn~

Gwynn walked out of the school building, trudging past the rest of the students as they made their way towards their classes. Today was just getting worse and worse, wasn't it? Her mouth slowly turned into a small frown the more she thought about the events that happened. Maoin...Ronat...gods, she was dead? She was dead, wasn't she? Otherwise she would have come herself just to annoy her. Probably try and pick-pocket her just for giggles. She eventually made her way back to her old dorm, walking inside and taking note of the weeks layer of dust that covered everything.

Huh...

She shook the thought from her head before pulling the letter out of the hat, and reading it. Ronat thought it was important, so she definitely owed it to her to read it.

Whatever she had been expecting, the contents of the letter was not what she had been. Curse? Family? Fomorians? Whatever in the name of the great seas was that even about? She hadn't a clue but she trusted Ronat.

She folded the note neatly back up, putting it back in her hat. It was the last thing she had...saying she was being a little sentimental wanting to keep it wasn't too far off the mark. She left the room, immediately having decided on what she was going to do no matter what. She headed to the tavern where her crew was staying. The Pirate needed go make sure the layabouts are behaving themselves. Also get something decent to eat and talk about their next little venture after the week was up. After the festival, she was going to make a surprise visit back home.

And her father was going to give her answers.

~Fox~

"Ah...my ever so perverted master has two animals she'd like to sleep with. Kinky." The fox said with a bemused smile from its position on the opposite side of the room, slinking its way under Selvina's bed. "I might laugh if it wasn't so deplorable." The fox rolled over onto its back, eyes still peering at Eith from under the bed.

"Hrm...what are you anyways, mutt? You aren't an Inugami. Something more native to these lands? Not that it really matters. I bet you'll do whatever that mage tells you as long as you get fed, hrm? Such a waste. You could easily kill it and do what you want."

~Ayumi & Celine~

Ayumi coughed, sputtering out a bit of water she had swallowed. Huh, well this place was certainly beautiful like a certain undine. Too bad that Undine was currently associating with someone Ayumi wasn't really keen on speaking with right now. So the Ninja made her way to another empty pool, deciding to put as much distance between Kozue and her as possible.

...she was being petty and silly, wasn't she?

Celine though, didn't seem entirely too intent on leaving Kozue alone. With a small interested smile, the Undine dipped herself into the water next to the human, clothes melting into the water as she did so.

"You are lucky, human. There aren't many that get to come to this place." Celine said with a smug smile as she allowed herself to soak in the water. "But if you wished to be cleansed...you will need my help. Spirits are fickle things, especially if they do not have a physical body. It takes quite a bit of energy for them to manifest and be able to affect the real world as well." Suddenly, Kozue would feel a set of watery tendrils cover her shoulders and start giving her a very comfortable massage.

"Now, relax." Soon enough, the water around the rest of her body started to vibrate, move, and otherwise massage the rest of her body. "Celine will take good care of you. The water is very...energetic and magically charged. It should reach the spirit. It should also invigorate you...as unfortunate as a side effect that is." The undine sighed.

[Roleplayer001]

The phoenix watched as Katherine whispered things to the hydra, a happy smile running across the girl's face. Livia then had to but in that no, she in fact wouldn't be angry. And of course, that they were friends as well. And obviously removing any excuse she had not to play.

This would be the first and last time she sat by Livia, that traitorous mage who pretended to care about her. Fia was about to continue releasing a string of mental curses she suddenly found herself wrapped in an extremely uncomfortable and unwilling embrace. At least it had been expected this time.

"Hey hey, lets play!"
Could they not? Livia might be able to survive but that didn't mean she'd be able to!
"... w-"

Before Fia could finish her protest and yanked to her feet before being practically dragged away from her sanctuary and towards the center of the room where finally she was allowed to regain her balance. After breathing heavily for a second or two and forcing herself to calm down from the physical contact her ambers looked up into Ritsa's eyes with a mission in their mind.

If she played hard enough to make the Hydra pass out, then she wouldn't have to deal with her anymore would she? Of course, she'd need to perform a little to make it seem like she was into it. "... so ... um ... what do we play ...?" Realizing her voice was quiet the girl made herself lean forward as if she was interested.

Eith

Eith wondered slightly about that, "Not wanting to talk to you mangy mongrel" line before. "Unsure what an Inugami is. I am a proud Shellagh, Eith. An Alpha." She didn't move from her spot or bother looking for the fox. In a tight space as this, he nose and ears were enough. "Caras never wanted me to share a bed. Not unless I became her plaything as you have. I pity you in a way. I also just don't have to hurt humans and I get free food. An easy trade for me as I never planned on it in the first place. So unlike you, I can do whatever I want."

Katherine Lindall

"These dolls are made of a bit of fragile material and I'd rather be careful without the 'Thread of Fate' making them stronger." Katherine recollected on a time when a student wanted to study one back when she was a student. It didn't end well for the boy at all. "Either way, it hurts me dearly seeing one of my children man-handled. You know this. That said, I'm rather glad that worked out so well. Enjoy your play-time Phoenix!" Katherine's a petty woman to be sure, though if the Phoenix hadn't antagonized her, she'd have done nothing. "That said, if we're done here, I've a class to teach."

Kozue Komichi

"Joining me? I thought you'd tend to Ayumi." It wasn't long after that the watery tendrils started to massage her back somehow. It was a little odd that pure water could do it so well. She feel into the trap of relaxing but soon felt this odd buzz on her skin. It made her feel weird. The whole pool of water was vibrating! "Miss Celine. . . What is with the lewd waters?" She covered some of her more sensitive parts with her hands to mitigate the damage. "And how is invigoration an 'unfortunate' side-effect?"

Mugi the Yuki-Onna

Mugi decided to go out and get some food for Lyssa. (With money she pilferred from the demon of course.) Cynthia was still working and she didn't want to interfer with her work so she just needed to find something to do. On the way she noticed something really odd. A non-Japanese person, but with a Japanese word for 'curse' on their head. To be sure, she walked up to the girl. "Hi, I'm a Yuki-Onna. I'm from Japan and I must ask you. Do you know what that symbol on you means?"
