[IC] Tohru's School of Wizards and Witches!

[Kidd]

Mirabelle Kingston

Mira was already prepared: she had her necessities with her in the couple bags she intended on taking to the Kingston's. So hearing that someone was sent to her mother to clear up any confusion was a relief, as that was her only worry. She imagined the elves were quite happy to hear that she was gone, on the other hand. It soured her mood, but save for lips twitching into a slight frown as she listened, it wasn't obvious. There thankfully wasn't much time to dwell on that, though, and her eyes flickered to the gates. Stepping through would bring her to Japan. Of course, she's never been there, but most of her video games of choice were produced there. Other than that, she know nothing about the country or its people.

She glanced around at the others: a few walked through the gates, some returned home first. With a shrug, she re-shouldered her bag and walked through the gates.

Her violet eyes flickered to the man, but then quickly wandered to the rest of the environment. It was a bright day and she squinted against the sun in irritation. Ugh. I can't wait to get inside. She fixed her hair as she looked back to the man, waiting.

The female finally introduced herself. Ian committed the name Elizabeth to memory. The woman who was supposedly Tohru’s apprentice said they were in a pocket dimension. Will we be likewise protected at the academy? The “shield” here seems to be already falling apart – that explains the way she keeps rushing us. And it seems unlikely that the Japanese academy could have a stronger magical shield. But I hope it does.

In his excitement of finally finding out something new and wondering what the academy would be like, Ian forgot to memorize the names of the people who subsequently introduced themselves, though he felt like they were only two of them. He did note that Shuichi was much more serious about his belief that this could be a kidnapping or an evil plot than Ian had initially thought and he re-evaluated his opinion of the boy being somewhat carefree. He admired the determined girl who disagreed with Shuichi. She seems someone worthwhile knowing. Too bad I don’t know her name.

One of the things Elizabeth mentioned that some kind of magic council officials would go to their guardians. Well, River already knows as much as I do. They better offer her some protection! All the gathered people were to leave – either through the castle’s gate to be teleported to the academy or to the forest to go back home for their belongings. Ian looked around and noted that there were many who had not packed and would have to go back first. How many will decide to come back?

Shrugging his shoulder, Ian tightened his hold on all of his belongings – traveling case, suitcase and backpack – and made his way toward the castle entrance. Raven tightened his hold on Ian’s shoulder and clicked his beak in annoyance several times, but stayed where he was, even when they were transported once again. In a blink of an eye, they arrived in Japan. Not like I would know that if we weren’t told… He felt the powerful magic, and it was better even better than the sight of the beautiful if old mansion ahead of him. Ah, as magnificent as magic is, it must remain in the world!

Luther Miller

Luther raised an eyebrow and smirked slightly. They were going to Japan? He held back a chuckle as he remembered the many times his brother geeked out about Japan and how he wanted to go there one day. Kept on going on about how much cool stuff they have there and how much fun it would be to move there. Luther even tried to save up for a trip there as a birthday gift for him, but sadly it was around the time their neighborhood had a streak of home invasions and robberies. Of course their apartment was hit and almost everything was taken, the only thing that wasn't taken was the couches and beds. They never did find their stuff, but that was a few years ago and they've recovered, though Luther is still sad he couldn't give his brother his trip. Luther shrugged it off and buried his hands into his pockets as he walked towards the castles entrance. At least he can finally see what the big deal was.

Luthers body slightly tensed up as he felt the strong sudden surge of magic do its job and pull him across the world towards the land of the rising sun. His vision was a bit blurry, but it was quick to clear up as he finally reached his destination. He stumbled a bit and straightened himself out as he took a deep breathe. Honestly he's not a fan of the whole teleporting thing, but he kept quite and rubbed the back of his neck as he took in his new surroundings. He was a bit taken back once he felt the strange new magic that filled the air around him. He noticed that it was coming from the rather large mansion that seemed to be nearly over taken by natures foliage and vines. Luther rolled his shoulders as he appreciated the scenery and picked out a few potential spots to nap in later, but stopped as he noticed the blonde haired man standing in front of the mansion with his cane. Luther quickly remembered why he was here and returned to his unwelcoming look before crossing his arms. He could nap later, it was time to get down to business.

"...You're a hell of a lot braver than me."

Maemi bit her lip, her gaze lingering on Shuichi as he spoke. It was evident that there existed some sort of awkwardness between Shuichi and Maemi; Their outlook on what Elizabeth spoke exceedingly different from each other. As Shuichi waved back at Maemi, she watched him leave, disappearing to where ever the spell took him. Her expression had the hint of curiosity as Maemi tried to fathom Shuichi's perspective, yet her countenance disappeared as she remembered Elizabeth's explanation.

In truth, Maemi was woefully unprepared for any sort of lengthy undertaking. Sure, Maemi had her wand, but what about basic necessities? Clothes? Personal items? Gardening tools? Right now, Maemi had nothing but her wand, a stick, and the clothes on her back. If Maemi was to undertake anything, she would have to return home, and with that in mind, Maemi made haste to the forest and returned to her family's mostly rural homestead.

By the time Maemi returned, she had been accompanied by a rather large and rugged backpack, like what one would expect a hiker or a camper to carry. Maemi had all the bare necessities for an outdoor life, or at least for someone with a heavy respect for nature. Various tools adorned the heavy pack, evidently stuffed to the brim with whatever Maemi thought she could or would need during her stay at this "academy." Gazing in the direction of where a crowd once stood, Maemi noticed a few of her apparent companions had already made their way to the gate, and she soon followed in their footsteps.

Appearing at the other end of the portal, Maemi, like the others that came with her, had been greeted with a mansion seemingly overtaken by nature. A light breeze rustled by, and the surrounding area reminded Maemi of her home, fittingly in the same country according to Elizabeth. The trees were of similar make like those back at her family's homestead, yet what had really thrown Maemi for a loop was the sudden explosion of magic. The magic radiated from the mansion, pulsating and nearly overpowering when compared to what Maemi had been used too her whole life.

Still, Maemi made an oath, and she certainly knew she couldn't back down now; her appearance determined.
