[IC] The Citadel Stories

"Yeah, and you're a Grimm, sorry, can't talk unless I want a tanned hide, and not tanned cause of a belt or a stick, more like fire or something of the sort. So... bye or something." He saluted sarcastically and turned back to keep walking.

The noise in the hallway from the monster hunt was getting loud and disruptive. Raven knew she needed to be the one to handle this rather than another teacher or the principal. "Class, start brainstorming speech topics with your friends."

Raven nodded at the class and stepped into the hallway where she found K.C., Jack, and another boy. All three of the students had their weapons in hand. "Excuse me, boys, shouldn't we be getting back to class?" Raven spoke with dominance, asserting herself so the boys knew not to stick around and make her ask again.
"Also, I realize you are all teenagers, but this is a school filled with people oblivious to our world. Watch your weapons and take your fights elsewhere."

[RangerOfTheRit]

"Sorry Ra- Uh, Miss Whitlock. The Vampy was down the renovation hall but this Briarwhite guy showed up and i followed him out here. Operio." He said. His sword shrunk back into a pocket knife. He flipped the blade back down and slid it into his pocket.

Jack gave Miss Whitlock the middle finger, then lowered the invisibility shroud afterwards. He had a sad expression, knowing he had to go back to class. He dragged his feet, looking at the ground. "Yes, Miss Whitlock." He put his stuff in his backpack, wondering when school would end. I can go to the apartment that K.C.'s parents prepared for me!

[Ayemdar]

"Thank you, boys. K.C., Jack, I'll need to see you two after school. I expect you'll show, I'd hate to have to pay K.C's parents a visit." This threat was more for Jack. She knew he liked to blow of school, and yes that included herself. Raven understood how hard things were for him without his parents and that's why her and K.C.'s parents pushed him as hard as they did. She walked on ahead the boys and into the classroom, not wanting to leave a class full of teenagers unattended for too long.

Jack stopped Miss Whitlock. "I was actually planning to ask," He looked at the ground. "Could you tutor me? I've been falling behind, and I want to catch up." He looked through his backpack, embarrassed. "I don't think I have money though." He sighed, shoving his sabre into the backpack.

[RangerOfTheRit]

K.C. nodded at Miss Whitlock and clapped his cousin on the shoulder before reentering the classroom and sitting back at his desk, hoping none of the mortals got too suspicious of he and Jack's random and rushed exit of the room. He pulled out his iPhone and plugged his headphones into his ears while he waited.

@Ayemdar@RangerOfTheRit
Jack sighed and walked back into the classroom. "Never mind." He plopped down next to K.C. "Miss Whitlock? May I go to the bathroom?" He said, even though his hand was still raised without being called. I just need to take a break for a second. He shrunk his cavalry sabre and attack books to fit in his pocket.

[RangerOfTheRit]

K.C. heard the bell ring. He jumped up, waited for everyone else to leave the classroom and walked over to Raven's desk. "How the fuck did a Vampy get into the school? I thought there was like massive protection magic around campus?" K.C. scratched the mark absentmindedly as he spoke.

@RangerOfTheRit@Ayemdar
Jack looked at Miss Whitlock and K.C. distracted, and ran out, hopping out the window, not before he said. "Go to bloody hell, Whitlock!" He ran out of campus, and went into his apartment, locking the windows and doors. "Alone. Good. God, I hate school. K.C. just does it so easily! Why can't I do it?"

[RangerOfTheRit]

After school let out, K.C. made his way down to the local bar. He ducked in through the back entrance and snuck up behind his cousin, Crowe, who was tending to a couple at the bar. "Boo." He whispered in her ear.

[Ayemdar]

When the bell rang, Raven sighed. She decided she would leave early today, she wasn't expecting any students to stop by, since the two she wanted to see left before she could stop them. They didn't understand. They were so young and had a lot of responsibility, but that doesn't mean they can just blow off school. "I need a drink." Raven muttered to herself.

She walked into the bar and sat down. "Crowe, get me the usual please." Raven smiled friendly at the girl, but then she saw K.C. "K.C., didn't I ask you to stay after class?"

[RangerOfTheRit]

K.C. tried to duck behind the bar before she saw him but he was too late. "Sorry Raven." He chuckled, his ears turning crimson. "Whats up?"

[Ayemdar]

Raven shook her head at him. "What's up, is, that you will fail my class if you don't do well in the speech coming up. And you missed most of my lecture on it. I don't think your parents will be too happy." Raven knew she was tough, but she cared. K.C. Was family after all. "Just make sure to see me before or after school tomorrow. And bring Jack with you. Now, no more school business. What was going on at the school today?"

[DriveEMOut]

Jack sighed, making himself some coffee as he watched T.V. "Shame. I wish I could understand the monsters, but it's too difficult." Suddenly, the glass in his window broke, and a troll lumbered in. "This is not what I was hoping to happen."

[RangerOfTheRit]

He poured himself a Ginger Ale, "The Vampy came in through an incomplete window in the renovation hall. We clipped him, i froze him, then i shattered him." K.C. laughed as he mimicked his actions from earlier. "Then that Briarwhite boy showed up. Whats the deal with them? Mom said they came back but i didnt think they'd be so close to me or the Grimm's in general. They have to planning something, right guys?" He glanced at Raven and Crowe over the rim of his glass as he took a sip.

[Ayemdar]

Raven looked at K.C. This is where she differed from the other Grimms. Raven was slow to point blame and assume they were guilty. "Not necessarily K.C. He's a student. He has to go to school just like you. They are still people, after all. We'll see them around, hell they'll be working and going to school here."

[RangerOfTheRit]

"But they wouldnt just come back to Citadel. Not with such a heavy Grimm presence." K.C. rested his hand on his pocket where his blade was.

"Maybe so." Raven had to stop herself from continuing this conversation. She just wished more people would give the Briarwhites the benefit of the doubt. "I know my biggest priority is grading." She laughed. Raven had just had her students turn in papers, which meant a long, not so fun weekend for her. She mindlessly fidgeted with the small dagger charm on her necklace. It appeared to be just a charm, but it was just an enchantment on her weapon, so that she'd always have it with her.

[DriveEMOut]

Suddenly, the door slammed open, and Jack fell in, several deep cuts all over him. He looked up, his blade in hand. "Run from the bloody bastards." He said, spitting out a bit of blood. He then passed out from his various injuries.
