[IC] Montagne Academy for Aspiring Mages!

[RainbowReindeer]

Ears perked and eyes sparkling, Ayame couldn't help but ooh and aah at everything. She was so very excited to start a new life and forge new friendships. She looked at the people around her before staring at her feet. Well, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't a tad nervous around humans. Remembering the cold, dark place in which she was trapped in for many months, Ayame visibly deflated until the speech was over. But at the sight of many green wisps floating around, the pipe fox bounced back to her old self before politely taking the slip of paper from the spirit.

Vera Rosenberg
Yume Dreamcatcher
Alicia Sanders
Ayame Foxgirl

Foxgirl? Her ears flickered in confusion. "I'm not Foxgirl," she muttered. "Just Ayame." And with that, she walked off to find her dorm. It took her a while to reach the gardens. Being a new student at the Academy and too painfully shy to ask for directions, she ended up wandering around a good chunk of the building before catching sight of the tall leafy ledges and a gate. "There it is!" She said out-loud to herself. Without further ado, she opened the gate and rushed inside.

The sight of the large tree-house had her reeling. It was just perfect. And oh, the ladder was down! Which could only mean one thing: her roommate or roommates were already here. Ayame took a deep breath, steeling herself before climbing up to her new home. Being a wind-user, she could have easily cast a simple spell and walk up to the treehouse. But for some odd reason, she didn't. Perhaps it was because she was too on edge right now.

Once she had reached the top, the pipe-fox brushed off invisible dust from her clothes and ran her fingers through her short silver hair. Although she wasn't a vain fox, she did care about looking presentable in front of other people. Especially in front of the people she would be living with for a whole semester. Ayame didn't have to look around and find where her roommates were, for she could hear voices and feel magical energy from a room just a little away from her.

She walked into the room, ducking her head in a quick bow of courtesy. "H-hello! My name is Ayame. Just Ayame," she stammered, her voice trembling. Nailed it. Ayame then stood up straight, taking a look at the three females in front of her. Two humans and a spider-lady. Humans...She knew that she shouldn't judge every human she met but she felt that it was reasonable to keep her distance until she could confirm that they weren't interested in stuffing Ayame into an enclosed bamboo pipe. Her ears flattened as she sidled up to the spider-lady, much preferring eight legs to two legs.

[neogreggory]

Arthur Wick stood apart from the students, apart from everyone for that matter. He listened and watched as the Headmistress gave her speech, and when the small green spirits did their dance. Then like that the students started dispersing. One in particular caught Arthur's eye, mostly because the student in question couldn't be bothered to stay on the ground while running. Since he wouldn't be needed properly for a few more hours Arthur decided he might as well make sure the unruly student doesn't break anything important.

Following the trail of cracked stone and displaced dirt Arthur found himself starting up at the tower. It was a rather nice tower all considering, would never hold in an actual attack but then again nobody was likely to be dumb enough to attack the school. Well, nobody both dumb enough and bold enough. Regardless Arthur casually leaned against a nearby tree, trees and plants in general seemed to be everywhere at Montagne, and watched while the young man roared, and then the dragon who lived in the tower roared. The two looked ready to go at one another, though Arthur didn't have the best view he knew what Sorcha was like. "Alright fine." Arthur said to himself while staring up at the tower. While he couldn't see the area at the top of the tower due to a mixture of height and battlements Arthur could very easily see the space above that. Wasn't like it would hurt to fall a few feet anyways.

Still leaning against the tree, hands in his pockets Arthur decided how best to deal with the problem that was likely about to happen up there before just settling on figuring it out as he went. And with the speed of a thought the pyromancer teleported.
He was above the tower, not by much, just about five feet of falling. The teacher landed on his feet and with a fluid movement was leaning against a bit of battlement behind him, "Hey there. Don't mind me just wanted to see what was happening up here."

-Lukas Kunze : Lukas, Lissandra, Meria, and Alucard's Dorm-

His crisp smile was still donned, Lukas voraciously glanced over her wholesome, watching how she approached the teen. From what he could discern, she seemed rather unperturbed for the most part, showing no signs of innate irritation for the most part. Hopefully it would remain that way, so long as they were bunk buddies. Lukas also took note of something interesting for the most part - a few items of interest floating around the vicinity of the staff near where Lukas presumed she was going to bunk.

"It did say gravity on the list of people... with the added facet of being denoted as a pervert..." Lukas could only ponder on the reason for being listed as a pervert before going over the young woman's magic. "Orbiting in an elliptical pattern... so from what I can theorize, she can create places where people or items can be pulled towards." He began conjuring the photo in his head - a planetoid that was no bigger than the dorms themselves, with a spherical shape.

As his imagination went wacky over the implications of Lissandra's power as he snapped back to the unwavering lady in front of him who provided her full name. "Lissandra Everdale," he uttered, completely giving the woman his attention once again. "It's a pleasure to meet you; charmed, I must say." Lukas looked at her face as she got up close, making it rather difficult to hide where his eyes traversed.

Continuing on, she made her peace with the spellsword, setting a standard for where his place would be while sleeping, if he valued his own life. Lukas chuckled as he looked down on the lady and her own set of rules; demanding per say. "Controlling on the most part, but nothin' a little wit and appeal can fix, for the most part..." His wits were left the moment he could even try, but yet there was a smidgen of hope that left him determined.

Lukas kept his calm facade up as the girl left a subtle, but sultry message for him which piqued his interest. He kept loving gaze on the girl as she commented over the possible change that could transpire, hinting that she could have a somewhat moderate interest in the teen. "Something might change, eheheh?" A mischievous streak crossed, his eyes glinting with curious machinations embedded within.

"I'm sure a few things will change," he snarked, closing his red eyes whilst raising a hand to his chin, "Of course, that would require me to either resist your gravity, ooooor..." Lukas paused, pivoting around as if to depart from his new dorm, before stopping in front of the door. In an instant he whipped his hand over his shoulder, pointing a finger as he tilted his head back. He had a better look of the bodacious lady as he smirked wholeheartedly.

"Maybe I could make a beaut like you attracted to me..." Lukas kept his heart beat steady, averting any chance of being flustered (yeah, like that could happen imminently). "But of course, I'll stay out of your bed," he spoke coyly as he pirouette around, bending over as he put his hands on his hips. "But I'll see to it that you end up in mine in the near future." His A-Game immediately hibernated as soon as his back was erect once again, his arms reaching upwards as he grunted, stretching as he slowly made his way to the other dual beds.

With that sleek movement dropped, the whole act was stockpiled in one fell swoop as he walked passed the girl, his being completely lax as he kneeled by the bottom bunk. Taking his sheathes, he carefully deposited the hidden swords onto his bed, gently segregating each three holsters. Next came his satchel which was swiftly removed and set by his now pillow. Soon after, he procured a phone from the depths of his bag, which he began sliding his fingers all over the touch screen before rotating his visage once again to the girl.

"In all seriousness though," Lukas gave the woman a genuine, tender smile as he continued. "I look forward to being you roommate; hope you won't mind theee-" A new in the vicinity! Pink hair, visibly appealing in myriads of way! Looks like Lukas was now a pirate, ready to board and plunder more booty for himself then he could ever imagine (well, maybe with one of these ladies). He was glad this Alucard guy didn't emerge anywhere yet, because he did not need another opposing vessel in the waters for now.

"euuuh lavishing maiden with hair brighter and more elegant than Sakura's in Japan!" He howled out, resoundingly, before he realized he was out of his suave, poised characteristic. The man he was advertising appeared not as prepped as he shot up faster than a speeding bullet, dusting himself off as the woman bowed her head, allowing them both to bask in her radiant smile. Adapting, Lukas adopted his gentlemanly visage, pushing back his unkempt hair as she began to introduce herself.

Lukas felt really ridiculous at this point as she was mere meters away from him! Unless this chick was blind (which she most likely wasn't), then there was no point in exaggerating all of these minuscule details with finesse!... eh, he didn't give a damn. Jackpot this year (partially) since this was the second time he was paired up with two chicks, let alone two. As much as he would want to sneak a peek, he knew his own standards and to no avail never infringed upon them.

"Meria, huh," Lukas uttered to himself as his roguish grin took form, finding himself enamored by the naughty fantasies that encroached and dribbled in the mind of the (kind of?) chivalrous perv. The trance ended when a familiar voice echoed, displaying innate interest in having a roommate of the same gender. "Well hello gorgeous!" Lukas exclaimed as he leaned on the side of his bed, imitating one of those badasses you saw on tv by the side of a building.

"I wouldn't mind spending a lot of my days with a cutie like you!~" He winked as he ravenously leered at the girl with his one open eye. His palm was shoved upwards, hand in the shape of a partial fist, save for his index finger. Lukas saw himself as screaming full Prince Charming bathed with confidence all round...

but that was him and his own perspective, deluded as it might seem.

"It's a pleasure to meet you dream gal; the name is Lukas Kunze! I look forward to sharing beds with you and the other lovely maiden right here.~" Lukas shot a flirtatious grin at the woman as he carefully eyed her body. Meria told him a bit of what she was like - a polite, cheerful girl. Starting down and working his way up, he eventually analyzed the girl and what she displayed. "Shy, kind, and seems rather kept to herself... I can only wonder... we are in a controlled environment and I am prematurely denoting some of their actions. Maybe these two might reveal something about themselves in the future."

Finishing his mental sentiment, he closed his eyes and laid his head on the side of the bed post. "Wonder where that Taijitu guy is... eh, doesn't matter right now I guess!~" He uttered, wickedly chuckling to himself as he set himself there.

This whole day was glorious so far - hopefully it would end well with this whole spiel.

~Sorcha~

The piece of paper didn't even make it to the dragon. She extended one of her wings, swatting piece of paper away like a fly. This. Insufferable. Little. Whelp. She narrowed her eyes at him. How dare he. His tower? She had been living here for the past fifteen years or so. If he wanted to make this tower his home, he'd have to go through her first, and she wasn't being ejected from her abode without a fight. She could just have Livia throw this insolent whelp out, but...well, there was no reason too. It would be shameful to run before attempting to crush this idiot herself.

"Insolent creature." She growled. "You think you can waltz in and claim a dragons home, you're mistaken." Sorcha was honestly looking forward to this fight a bit. She hadn't had a good fight in awhile. She could always have a little spar with Livia, but after awhile fighting with the headmistress was boring. Especially since she knew she was holding back.

"This tower, is my abode and I will not let you insult me in it." She readied her Glaive. "Ready yourself, creature, because-" Just before she finished her sentence, a familiar voice rang over the air. The dragon looked in the direction of the voice, not surprised to find Arthur watching. Seeing the man calmed the dragon just a little. At least enough to not attack the man in front of her.

"Arthur..." The dragon sighed. She had known the man for a few years now. She was rather...well, she thought of him as an equal, that much was true. He had slayed a dragon after all, and such a human was indeed worthy of respect. That, and...well, he shared a name with someone she once fought alongside as well.

"What brings you here?" She asked, actually sounding a bit tired. "I was about to teach this...creature a lesson. I hope you do not intend to stop me."

The nobleman walked into one of the bedrooms after arriving, and noticed the place was already claimed by a small pile of luggage. Thinking the current occupant had just forgotten to lock the door, Swen left the room in peace and decided to claim the one next to it.

Thankfully, his items were already here. Whether it was an act of kindness from the school or something his parents had arranged through their influence didn't matter. Either way, it was a convenient gesture. After swiftly rearranging them, the fourteen year old exited his room and started to search through the books. The German boy was a little confused about what was going on and why he was living here, but a second later he spotted a taller girl loading a book onto a cart. An assistant?

"Madamemosielle, my room is located here. Can you explain why?"

[sakurasan]

Meria took the woman's hand before standing back up straight. Hm? Had I not just said my name? "Meria. Just meria. Nice to meet you Lissandra." she added a sweet smile to the end of this, not wanting to sound rude at all. A beautiful name indeed. Lissandra Everdale. She, however, wouldn't be mentioning her real name anytime soon. Her real name brought up memories she'd much rather forget. Not even Drael knew her real name, not that they actually knew much about each others past.

She turned her head to face the man that was now speaking loudly. So called Casanova? How energetic. "Thank you for the compliment." she looked over at his eyes "Your crimson eyes are splendid." a compliment needed to be responded with a compliment. At least that was what father always said. Meria never really understood this since they weren't asking for anything in return but it must be correct if her father was the one that uttered the words. Nonetheless, his eyes were beautiful so it wasn't a matter of faking a compliment either way. Crimson eyes. Blood. Hmm~ "I look forward to spending my days with you as well." smiling sweetly and her mind completely flying over the 'cutie' remark. It was nice to know that she was welcomed in this new environment.

Dream gal? Oh, so he was a flirtatious man, hm? Haha, unless he meant nightmare. Well, no mind I suppose. Sharing beds... "Well, I wouldn't mind joining you in your bed." she began, now her eyes were closed as she continued to smile kindly. Soon, she opened them, her eyes narrowed as she spoke and she brought a finger up to her lip, placing it on her bottom lip and looking him straight in the eyes. Her head was tilted a bit as her eyes stared back at his fresh blood colored eyes. "That is if you're having nightmares. In which case, i'll eat them right up for you~" Meria had no intention of insulting the man. She did want to get along with him after all. She then let her hand rest back to her side, her eyes going back to their gentle state.

Another man was going to be joining us? Whatever. Meria had no opinion on the matter and honestly did not care about him. She hadn't met him yet so why would she ponder about him? Turning to the both of them, she looked at them discreetly. Simply wondering what type of people they were once again. Kind girl and a flirtatious man. At least he didn't sexually harass people. He seemed actually pretty nice and that was enough for her at the time. The girl seemed rather shy and enclosed. Hm... Maybe i'll get to know her better later on.

Looking over at her bags that she had with her, she pondered on what she wanted to do. Meria set down her duffle bags that simply contained her normal necessities and some other extra stuff. Oh, that's right. Which bed should I decide on?

Cupido struts his way to his office. His office, which is adorned with several dangerous looking weapons, seems relatively homey...besides said weapons. He pops open the 'briefcase' and places his bow and arrows in their spots. Stepping back to make sure everything is perfect before nodding and turning. Once turned, he leaves the room and locks it. Knowing full well that no one would enter that room and steal, but wanting to add a deterrent if there is anyone brave enough.

His pace once outside is more leisurely, as he enjoys the day. That is until he hears the roars of the dragon and the one that had jumped earlier. That causes him to pause and turn to look. He sighs somewhat knowing full well that tower is not built to handle too much damage. He spots Arthur in time to see him teleport up there as well.

Cupido gives a slight shrug before his wings unfurl and he launches up. In two powerful wing strokes he stops at the tower. He lands directly on the top of the tower. Knowing that he probably interrupted the dragon. "I wouldn't suggest fighting up here darlings" His wings fold themselves neatly as he speaks. "But if you want to collapse the dorm of which you are to sleep in...go ahead..just means you'll sleep outside" His hands slip into his pockets. His tone seems extremely nonchalant, like he doesnt care or wouldn't impose. However, if things get too far out of hand he figures that Arthur and himself would interject.

[Ashifili]

“A dragon?” Arata smirked, now amused by this arrogant girl’s claims. Just because she could fly around like an insect did mean that she was the same sort of creature that served as a God of the land, fighting off legions of youkai greater than himself. Before him was a bat-winged bitch, not a Dragon God that brought prosperity and peace upon the land. “All I see is someone with a mouth bigger than her oversized wings.”

It appeared, though, that others were now gathering on the top of the tower as well. Two men came up, their stature somewhat more impressive than the fresh-faced students at the inn. One smelled of flame, and the other of wind, and in their presence, the foreign girl seemed to be restraining herself. Fun, so what, she was the familiar and they were the masters?

The other man, the one with chicken wings, did make a good point though.

“Yeah,” Arata said, flashing a feral, heated grin, “I wouldn’t mind sleeping outside. How bout you, bat-girl? Seems like a cold damp cave would be more your jive, eh?”

_{@sakurasan@Savo@Nytefall}

Alucard yawned, opening speeches always tended to be rather boring in his opinion, though when the speaker was so alluring it was slightly more manageable. Those purple eyes of hers were quite entrancing, matched by a rather nicely cut dress. He was even more pleased when she mentioned they had an opportunity to get a date if they could do it in three days. Alucard did so enjoy a challenge, though whether this school's population would be challenging had yet to be seen. The windy spirits she summoned were amusing, dancing like school girls at ballet, dancing closer and dropping slips of paper to their chosen target before whisking away on the wind.

Alucard glanced at the paper casually, interesting, it was time to meet these roommates of his, apparently he was rooming with a pervert, someone with gravity magic, and undisclosed. How delightful, two of the names sounded distinctively feminine. His own title was suitably pleasing as it would no doubt cause interest in those who saw it. He filed the paper away in his memory and tossed into the air behind casually as he began walking towards the 'bunk beds'. His eyes roamed the forms of several students at his leisure, any eye contact made resulted in a bewitching grin and the other blushing. Trivial. Still, he had no interest in easy prey. In a short while he was at the entrance. Taking a brief moment to compose himself Alucard strolled into the room taking in the occupants at a glance. The girl with short brown hair and boring clothes. Un-interesting. On the other hand the next female had a delightful shade of pink for hair and was wearing a pleasant floral design, along with odd eyes, similar to the headmistress's own. The boy was nothing exceptional, dressed nicely but looked rather boring as well save for his red eyes that were that were a mirrored shade of Alucard's own.

"It seems I am in the right place." True to the location's name there were two bunkbeds. What a shame it would be if one of them was to be damaged in some way forcing the occupants to share a singular bed... Something to ponder at a later date. Looking at the beds and seeing a prime oppertunity Alucard stepped forward and leapt to the top of one of the beds in one easy bound. "I hope no one minds, I like being on top." He said with a confident grin in his effortlessly entrancing voice. Naturally he picked the bunk the boy hadn't claimed, as the fairer sex always seemed to fall for his charms easier and were usually more fun to play with. Alucard clicked his pen and scribbled out his name in elegant flowing characters and placed the sticky note on the side of the bed. It read, "Alucard + ???", leaving his the invitation obvious. "I'm afraid I'm a bit new here, what ever do we do for fun around here? I mean besides each other of course."

Draél Fahlmer

-@Ashifili@Rune_Alchemist@neogreggory@BlackPanther

The tower that had looked like a nice place earlier didn't feel so nice when it suddenly shook from continuous roars on top,fearing that the structure would collapse on top of itself since it clearly weren't built like the towers in the plains of oblivion he had visited. Draél decided to look out a window just as as a dragonic looking female flew out of an other window and landed on the top with a roar. Several other creatures... well more man like looking ones soon joined and he had to ponder what kind of gathering was happening at the top. An angel had joined too, and what looked like a teacher or something as well... he wondered if there was a fight or something. He followed suit and landed on the top himself.

A quick headcount told him the number of people on top, and then he quickly rolled five 20 sided dices on the roof from his bag. Ending up with 11 for himself ,15 for the dragon, 17 for the teacher, 17 For the angel, and 17 for the Boy he had seen earlier they falling into that order after re-rolls. "A Dragon, A Knight,Angel and Squire stand before you atop of a tower... what do you do?" he mumbled to himself as he looked at the scenario in front of him. However his thoughts were interrupted when the 'nicknamed squire' called the Dragonoid female a 'Bat-girl' making him start to hum the batman theme softly before vocally silently adding 'Bat Girl!' at the ending. Yet he looked between all of them and pondered in which direction this would actually go for a moment.

He wondered if he should add something or just be silent, but somehow decided to look to Sorcha instead. "What a magnificent form... The shape of the wings... your tail, Yes... you must be a Dragon-kin... one of really high stature, perhaps a princess or or even a queen. Forgive my intrusion, had i known that a lady of such noble blood lived here I would have asked for another room that's not in this tower" he said giving Sorcha a graceful bow. It was clear that she was not on the list of people he would stay with, meaning she was either an older student here or someone who actually belonged in this tower more than any of they others did.

Shino Koizumi

Shino had been at the academy for a few days already. Exploring and wandering around on her own, she mostly napped somewhere in the sun or chase other animals. She was said to wait a few days at the school since they arrived early. Shino didn't mind where to stay at so it was fine. She had company from some of the teachers that gave her some snacks from time to time too. She enjoyed getting snacks and would stay around the person who gave her the snacks for a few hours at least.

The opening ceremony had begun but it wasn't really that interesting to Shino. She trailed off to do her own things again. Just like she had done the last few days. Shino wandered over towards one of the soda machines and continuously tried kicking it while curiously looking into it sometimes. She didn't understand how they worked but she mostly got something out of it after having pestered it for sometime. She mostly got sweet drinks out of them but sometimes they would be bitter and all black. She didn't like those, they were way to gross for her taste buds.

With both her hands clamping the can of soda she wandered further again. She stopped somewhere to open the soda by slamming a rock against the top followed by spraying herself with the can out of accident. She drinked the remains of it and continued on walking with not much in mind. When the sun began to tire Shino she decided to stop and lay on the warm grass to enjoy the sun.

She wrapped herself up like a small ball her tail curling around her and started to sleep in the warmth of the sun. Soft snorring could be heard from a small distance and it definitely caught the eyes of some people to see such a young girl sleeping in the grass. Npcs would sometimes stop next to her and give her a small pet on the back. Shino rarely reacted to anyone that touched her but did appreciate the action.

-Yume Asikiba : Montagne School Gardens-

Yume was all ready to bow and show herself out of the room, but was suddenly invited to join the duo in their introductions. Mild shock was expressed as her mouth opened up into a small o, before returning to a smile. It seemed these folk were understanding and in their stead, invited her to converse also. The girl slowly walked into the room, leaving most of her luggage outside of the room. As she came in, she took a further glance at each lady, discerning their clothing... maybe she could conceive something that fit their style?

"Greetings," she spoke in an mellow pitched tune as she came forth into the room, unaware of the pipe fox that was within contact with the girl. Before Yume could say anything else, she was caught off guard by the abrupt sound of another girl. Her skin tingled in surprised as her back promptly arched back a bit as she quickly turned to assess who was there.

"That was a bit of a scare," she thought, wheezing in a muted matter to accommodate for the skipping of her beating heart. Tilting her head back she studied the beautiful girls garments, finding it slightly akin to her own handwoven clothes. She found herself staring longingly at her as she spoke, finding it rather cute that she seemed rather kept to herself... before barely making contact with her. Yume was curious as to why her ears were flat, wondering if she was uncomfortable with this many people.

Closing her eyes, she gave the girl a patient smile as she rotated herself towards the girl. Giving her a polite bow to acknowledge her and to reply to her respectful, but faltering introduction. Greetings Ayame, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance," she spoke rather cheerfully. Turning in an attempt to face all of them she put her hand up near her chest and began waving.

"I am Yume Asibika, also known as The Dreamer by others - it's a pleasure to meet you all!" Of course, there was also the nickname Lady Snoresalot, but she wasn't certain what this word meant as most people spoke of it rather swiftly. Maybe it was Snore Salot? That was rather silly, as her name was Yume Asibika; maybe her prior roommate mistook her for another Arachne wandering the academy? She certainly didn't notice any others similar to her around.

"And sometimes Muffet or Lady Snoresalot... I'm not completely sure how they got those two mixed up with Yume Asibika, but I'm certain that no one will mess up my name here!~" Yume gave a fleeting giggle as she looked at everyone before eyeing mainly Ayame, slowly gesturing her to enter... hum... maybe it was cold in there and she didn't want to enter? Ayame was shivering, so she imminently stopped, curious about her condition.

"Uhm, excuse me, Ayame, are you ok? Is it too cold in this room for you to enter?" Yume felt no wind, but was still pondering on the possibilities. Maybe she was sensitive to the outside and possibly needed some assistance heating up? It was rather chipper outside; somewhat warm with an enjoyable breeze, despite the facet that they were on a mountain... the Alps from what her mother taught her?

Extending her arms out to the girl, oblivious to the true reason she was shying away in hopes of embracing the girl so she might enter comfortably. "Come into my arms Ayame, I'll keep you warm if you find the cool air to be somewhat too frigid for you." Yume closed her eyes and gave the young woman a wide grin, inviting her inwards into a comforting web of hospitality. "No need to be shy."

Swen, Megumi, and Melody

Megumi turned to see a boy near her age talking to her about the living arrangements. "I don't know," Megumi replied. "My room is in the library as well." Megumi then realized that if what the boy was saying was true, then they were roommates, or at least neighbors, considering the size and number of their rooms. Megumi then took out the piece of paper the spirit had given to her and reread the names on it. "I assume you're... Magierprinz Swen Runvall?" Megumi asked, trying to pronounce the boy's name correctly.

The fourteen year old noble gave a slight bow as an apology for his false assumption. "Indeed that is me, at your service millady ..." After a moment of trying to remember the list, he took it out and observed the names. "... the only names here are Melody and Megumi, and I do not know which one you claim."

Melody didn't get too surprised when she was picked up by another student who had entered the library, she was after all a book and yet she didn't do anything beyond what a normal book would as her pages were flipped. She was then placed on a cart and simply laid there as the one that had done so was greeted by a man. Well after their near introduction she had a rather big clue who they were at least, the boy had a really long name, and the girl had one that was easier to say. But Melody didn't say anything just yet, she wanted to see how it played out first.

"My name is Megumi," Megumi introduced herself, bowing slightly as she did so. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you as well, madam Megumi." The nobleman was slightly confused as to why she didn't curtsey, but perhaps she wasn't raised in a noble line. But a ruler should be kind and not look down on those too unfortunate to have been blessed. Maybe some small talk would be nice to learn about each other, since they would be living next door? "What brought you to study here?"

Megumi had noted the way Swen had been speaking. It was a bit odd to her, but Megumi reasoned that it was probably just the way he had been raised. "Not much," Megumi replied. "I just wanted to go to school, and this was the first choice I made."

"I assume that makes me Melody~" Melody would chime in the minds of the other two other students. After that her singing voice seemed to dissipate once more after a sudden chorus of intrusion in the minds of the others. Melody happened to enjoy small pranks among games, hide and seek was one of her favorites.

WHAT THE HELL!? The magierprinz's mind shouted as jumped in place, startled. The fourteen year old looked around, searching the room for the source of this intrusion. "Show yourself!" Ingranied in the nobleman from a young age, Swen turned his back to Megumi as if to protect her from some wild monster, manuvering a few feet in front of her as if to face a dragon in her stead, the grimore slung into his hands and ready to be fired. Chivalry wasn't dead, apparently.

Megumi looked around in curiosity when the mental message came through. Megumi looked at the paper again and confirmed that the third roommate was indeed named Melody. Swen responded by overreacting to the message, acting as if Megumi needed to be protected. Megumi simply said to Sven, "Relax. She's our other roommate," and walked away, over to the cart. Now that Megumi thought about, it was a bit too convenient for a book to share the same name as a roommate. Perhaps it was a long stretch, but in the world of magic, Megumi had to think differently. Megumi looked down at the book, eyebrow raised, and asked, "I assume you're communicating from here, Melody?"

The magierprinz simply stood there, blushing as he realized he was in fact being ridiculous, and wondered why he responded so swiftly when there wasn't even a certain threat.

"My my... quite perceptive aren't you?..." The book on the cart replied and suddenly sprung to life as it shot up slightly in the air, hovering there a while as its cover flicked open on its own and its pages started to turn. "Guess you found me~" Melody replied cheerfully even if the boy surely had given quite the humorous response. The book started to deform, bend out of shape and extend in all kinds of angles until an exact duplicate of Megumi stood beside her. "Hi~ I'm Melody, nice to meet you~" she said and took Megumi's hand to shake it.

Swen's face simply drained of all color, looking on in confusion as the book suddenly became a person. This place was crazy, after all.

Megumi only grew more curious as Melody transformed. She wasn't sure what magic was being used here, but there was a way to find out. After shaking hands, Megumi asked Melody, "So, what exactly are you? Are you human, or something else?"

Melody circled around Megumi after shaking her hand then just smiled to her. "Oh?... I'm you silly~... or don't you have a mirror?" she said kinda misunderstanding the question. Yet she looked cheerful enough still.

The nobleman's face looked back and forth between the two, before giving the one who claimed to be Melody a slight bow. By the time he had risen though, he had regained his composure. "Madam Melody, I double Megumi's question, and would appreciate an answer."

Megumi thought for a while, still wondering how Melody could change form like that. Eventually, though, she gave up on the matter and said, "Never mind. I'm going to unpack." On that note, Megumi turned around and began to walk back to her room.

Melody nodded to Megumi who then went to unpack, "Oh... okay"she replied and then turned her attention to the boy instead. "I am Melody... but look like Megumi... do you want me to be something else?" she asked as she didn't really know what she was.

A shapeshifter then perhaps? Maybe an illusionist hard at work? After a few moments of thought the nobleman responded. "Go back to being a book. You were easier to handle that way."

Melody tilted her head slighty as he told her to become a book again, she pondered if she should grant that wish or simply mess with him a bit. "But... being a book was only fun when nobody knew I were a book... I know... I can become a cat" she said and suddenly her body would start deform once more, until she became a small black cat sitll hoovering in the air for no apperent reason. "Look at me~I'm a copy cat~ Ba dum... tsss" she said as she grew wings and started fluttering around the room.

The magierprinz ended up rolling his eyes at this, wondering what possessed this girl's heart and made her so silly. He rolled his eyes a second time, starting to head back to his room as well. This was too painful to bear.

Melody suddenly decided to land on the boy's shoulder as he headed back towards his room. Wondering why he had all of a sudden decided to just ignore her, perhaps he didn't find her little prank funny. "So -nya... why arrr myou levin? Meow?" she questioned and let out a soft purr.

The nobleman had to resist the urge to brush the now-cat off his shoulder. "I ... I think it would be best for both of us to head to our own rooms." If she decided to ignore him and stay, he wasn't sure what he would do.

Melody leaned her head down slightly by his side and looked at him. "He-ead to ourrr rrroom mrr?... wherrr is maw rrrom meow?" she asked as she remained on his shoulder not wanting to leave just yet.

"Our rooms are directly next to each other, right here." The noblemand stated flatly, pointing towards the unoccupied room that Melody should go towards. "You should probably unpack your things in there and make yourself comfortable."

Melody nodded slightly her whiskers slightly tickling towards the boy's cheek as she did. "Mew don't mown anything nya," she replied as she couldn't really recall having possessions... being able to become anything she wanted she wasn't really so worried about such things... yet she did as told this time, and after another transformation she became a soft pillow. "Comfortable enough?..." she asked

This woman was definitely annoying, and it was starting to frustrate the young man. His cheeks flushed red as his emotions became apparent, and in response he brushed the pillow onto the floor.

He hoped this was just some sort of greeting tactic, and not a permanent thing that this woman intended on doing.

Melody fell to the floor with a soft cushioned thud as she was brushed off. She then remained motion less on the floor. The nobleman countinued to walk into his room, closing the door behind himself and wondering what he'd done to deserve this.

Ylva Edlehjerte

Today was a nice day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and it seemed like almost everyone was in a good mood. It had only been a few minutes ever since the ceremony had ended and people were slowly making their way to their assigned dorms. Ylva was one of them.

Ylva had been very anxious of going to Montagne. On the one hand she was really looking forward to this new experience and she really wanted to learn new things and people. On the other hand she was very nervous as to what obstacles this new and strange world would throw at her. Ylva was sure that she would be able to handle the school’s curriculum as she never had any trouble with learning new things. It was the social life that she feared. Would she be able to mix in with the others? Or would she become an outcast? This is what she feared most and if she had any hand in it, she’d make sure that wouldn't happen!

While everyone was dispersing from the courtyard Ylva took another look at her dorm assignment. Her name was written under ‘The Dungeon’. How charming. She also saw that she would have a roommate called Shino Koizumi. Ylva hoped that they’d get along, as else they would be stuck with each other for at least a year. Hmm, maybe she should make her way over to her dorm as fast as possible and ready the dorm for them.

Then, out of nowhere, there was a loud roar coming from what appeared to be an older looking tower. Ylva only paid two seconds worth of attention to it as she figured that with the diverse cast of races it was bound to be filled with some of the more uncivilised ones for sure. But then there was the sound of a second, louder roar coming from that same tower. And this roar froze Ylva in her tracks. She recognized that sound from back home. That was not any ordinary roar. It was the roar of a mighty creature of legend. A dragon.

Ylva had always been obsessed with dragons. Ever since she heard the tale of how the mighty Beowulf fought a dragon she had been enticed by them. And while she had seen a few already, she was always just as amazed at the sight of them as she was the first time she laid her eyes on one.

So when she heard its roar Ylva didn't even need to think about trying to find it as she was already trying to run to a better vantage point. She nimbly avoided several other students who looked at her bewildered before moving on with their own things. Soon she found a nice spot on top of a tree branch near to what seemed to be another dorm building. As she balanced herself on top of it she could look into the window and saw a dorm with two bunk beds in them. But that wasn't important to her. No, the real action was at the tower. And it seemed like she wasn't the only one interested. Several more people had converged to the tower.

Seeing the crowd form, Ylva decided that this was a good spot to observe whatever was going on up there. While she might not be able to hear whatever was being said, she did manage to catch a sight of what she was looking for... The dragon. And it was beautiful.

Yes, today was a nice day indeed.

[Rune_Alchemist]

After the four of them had agreed, Lyssa simply gave a big grin and clapped her hands together. She ushered everyone out of the room, being the last one out herself to make sure none of them stayed behind and tried to escape. As soon as everyone was out, she took the lead, keeping a quick pace as she led everyone out of the dorms and out of the academy.

Soon enough, the four girls had made their way to the town, not taking them long at all to arrive. Lyssa led them down the roads swiftly, and eventually they reached their destination. A rather quaint looking bakery by the name of Boulangerie Le Claire. Lyssa ushered the four girls inside.

As soon as the girls entered, they’d all smell freshly baked cakes, doughnuts and other pastries. The counter where people ordered was entirely made of glass cabinets, displaying row upon row of doughnuts, brownies, and other delicious looking confections. The place was well lit, with a number of tables, chairs, and booths lining the walls. Behind the counter, two people were working. Behind a glass window next to the counter, people could be seen working in the back. Flour, chocolate, and other ingredients could be seen zipping back and forth through the air, likely by some form of telekinesis. Each worker was putting icing on a delicious cake, creating works of art. Others were using pyromancy to heat the ovens to a perfect temperature.

Lyssa grinned widely at the other girls.

“Here we are! Okay, I’m buying everything, so whatever you want. I’ll pay for it. Just tell me and I’ll order!~

The four thousand year old woman observed the menu, trying to pick out something to buy. That's when she realized she didn't recognize anything on it.

At all. The seventeen year old had only eaten one slice of cake in her entire life, and that was when she was distresed from a terrible memory. She didn't really remember how it felt.

Trying not to reveal her lack of omnipotence, the goddess turned to look at the one who was paying. "The menu is vast, what does taste favor there?"

Lyssa hummed for a moment before replying. Did Iravis not know what she wanted, then? Well, she shouldn’t worry! Lyssa was an expert at this.

“Well, I’d suggest strawberry. Strawberry cake is delicious. Not my favorite, but I get the feeling you’d like it.” She gave Iravis a friendly smile. “Buuut, if you want something more chocolatey, a chocolate ice cream cake is always good.” Iravis nodded as she listened to the advice.

Mugi wasn't all too sure what she was a fan of. Back home, she and the other Yuki Onna would make shaved iced and had different syrups to accent. She wasn't sure if there was anything like it, but she especially liked the Blue Rhaspberry flavor, perhaps there was something similar? The menu was something foreign to her so perhaps she should ask. To no one in particular she asked aloud, "Is there anything Rhasberry flavored on here?" She spoke the language well, but not the reading exactly.

While the others tried to decide on which flavor of diabetes they wanted, Katie hung back a few feet, thoughts of vengeance swimming about her head. The little green punk was going to get his soon enough. And the pink haired little demon would be next. Not just for the surprise tackle hug. That was annoying enough, but she was going to buy Katie off with food.

But she never said that Katie would have to walk for it. Strike two, demon slut.

"Heeeeey, get me something strawberry, yeah? Thanks." She called out before returning to her revenge fantasies. What? She's a simple chick.

“Alrighty…two strawberry cakes, a raspberry ice-cream cake and a chocolate ice-cream cake! Go take a sit, I’ll go order everything.” The demon then bounded off towards the counter, leaving the others to find a table themselves. After waiting in line for a minute or two, she finally got to order.

Iravis moved to pick a table while the hellion waited to finish her order, hesitating upon seeing the chair for just a moment and closing her eyes as she lowered herself into it.

“Hmm. One strawberry cake, a Strawberry cake with a good bit of icing and put cherries on it. Hmm…Rhapsberry ice cream cake, and a Chocolate ice cream cake for me! Extra chocolate sprinkles on it. Put a strawberry on it, too, alrighty? Thank you!~” After paying for it, the demon then waiting for their orders to be finished before returning to the table the others had found.

Mugi followed Iravis to the table she picked and sat in one of the chairs before looking between the one that scared her and the other girl. At this point she couldn't even recall their names, aside from the fact that she read them in the dorm assignment. As the horned one returned to the table she raised a question to the other two. "I know your names from the Dorm Assignment paper, but proper introductions are much better. My name is Mugi Yukimura, a Yuki-Onna. The surname is just one used by everyone in the village on the occasion that one is needed. So please feel free to call me Mugi." She gave a small smile as she looked at each of the other girls. "Would you all introduce yourselves?"

The goddess spoke next, eager to get her portion over with. "A polite, peaceful introduction is indeed worthwhile. Iravis Ustrina is what I am known by."

Katie didn't miss a beat. She picked up immediately where Red left off, giving a quick wave before speaking. "Just call me Katie." She looked over at the last girl in the group. So she had to be...

“Lyssa Nemorienne! Don’t ask. Some old demon clan name or something.” Lyssa replied, not missing a beat herself as she introduced herself. She had impeccable balance, bringing all four of the cakes at once on multiple saucers. With surprising dexterity, she dropped one plate off in front of Mugi, one plate in front of Iraivs, and one plate in front of Katie.

With one last one in hand, she took a seat next to Mugi, quickly taking a fork and biting into the medium sized cake that she had ordered. The demon seemed to shiver with slight delight as the chocolatey goodness passed her lips.

“So, nice to meet all of ya!~” She cheerily finished.

Mugi was glad they all introduced themselves. Katie and Iravis both seemed to be rather. . . Distant. Everyone was mostly together back home in the village so it was almost weirder to not talk to someone at least once every few days. Katie particularly seemed to want nothing to do with them. "Well, I'm glad we are all in the same room together. It reminds me greatly of with how close together we are to be. You all have such cute names as well." She finished it off with the cutest smile she could muster. Lyssa aside, Mugi was expecting the other two to be a little embarrased or confused. She just wanted them all to get along with each other, whatever it took.

Iravis at this point was satisfied that Little Roux hadn't come out so far, so she gave a slight nod towards Mugi. "The same to you, Mugi Yukimura." Her cheeks flushed slightly as she thought about the compliment, but the red haired teenager was much more focused on the cake than anything else at this point. Seeing the color of the strawberry cake, the goddess pushed out a strand of her hair to compare the color of the two.

When you don't know, match colors I guess. The goddess rolled her eyes at such an elementry form of decision making, looking at Lyssa for a moment. "... Interesting ..."

Katie shrugged. Cute names? Really thrilling conversation, that. The girl had never been the biggest fan of small talk, but one had to play the game sometimes. Even if it killed her on the inside. "Cute names, eh? I suppose. Can't say that I've met a Mugi before." she mused. Katie slid her eyes over to the redhead. Time to do some digging. "Or an Iravis? I dunno. I still think Red suits ya better, doc. Or, what'd that card say? Roux? Yeah. What was up with that, anyway?" the girl muttered, pausing to try a bit of the cake. It wasn't too bad.

Mugi couldn't help but smile since the two actually ended up talking, complimented her back as well. "Arigato," She giggled slightly before taking a bite of her ice cream cake. After that bite, she understood why Lyssa would have been so insistent on it earlier. "This is a wonderful desert option that I've never had at my Village before!" She pulled on Lyssa's arm and babbled on a bit of how good it was.

“Ehehe, it’s good, isn’t it?~” Lyssa replied to Mugi, not caring at all about the other girls cold touch. “I know good cakes when I see them.” Lyssa simply continued to eat the cake in front of her.

As the girls on the other side of the table had a friendly conversation about the cake, the Goddess looked to her right to converse with the teleporter, an angry look appearing in her eyes as Katie mentioned both her pet names.

It was clear both of them seemed to view small talk more of as a means to an ends than anything else. "If I grant you an explanation, I expect you to call me by the name I gave you." This was obviously an offer for a trade.

One of Katie's eyebrows launched up. She hadn't expected to see such...well...anger flash over the other girl's face. She knew of other redheads that hated being called that, it was pretty cliche after all, but this was next level. Katie might as well kicked her kitten or something.

Interesting.

The teleporter fell back into her smiling mask and looked past their little group, at the workers behind the counters going about their day. "Weeell, hey, that sounds fair to me. Hit me with it, Iraaavis" she replied, stretching out the girl's name. She mindlessly stabbed a fork at her own cake. She had to admit, she was a little curious as to why the girl was getting all worked up over a name. No...that wasn't it...curiosity wasn't the right feeling. She honestly, couldn't care less. But the girl seemed uncomfortable and THAT was something Katie could feed off. She'd play ball and use the silly name for now...especially if she was going to get ammo for the future.

Uh oh. Something was obviously going on here.

Katie was cooking up…something. She didn’t know what, but she was pretty sure she was up to something. Lyssa took a bite of the cake, narrowing her eyes at Katie suspiciously for a moment, before looking back over to Mugi.

“Hey hey, wanna try mine?” The demon asked.

Ignoring the other two's small talk, the Goddess fufilled her end of the bargain. She was a little irritated at Katie's disrespect, but it wouldn't be wise to allow her wrath to get out of hand so quickly. "The headmistress believes herself to be my mother, and gave me that title several years ago ..."

A few moments passes as Iravis decided how to finish her story. "... I am too far in debt to correct her, but such a childish title irritates me." Despite their recent argument, even the most irrational person would admit that the red haired girl owed the headmistress a lot if they were given more details. Still, that wasn't part of the bargain.

Wow. Just...wow. That was it? Just a fucking pet name used by her mo-

"Whoa-whoa-wait...Yer mom's Headmistress Fiore? Why would the head honcho's little girl be stuck slumming it with us?" Katie followed up, intrigued. This was fucking perfect. If her roommate was the Headmistress' 'Little Roux', then...

If Katie didn't have a shit-eating grin before, she did now. She couldn't have asked for a better situation. The Headmistress had been on the list for quite some time, but Katie couldn't figure out a good way to get to her. But now... Now she had a direct line to the woman's heart: her 'child' or whatever that whole situation was. She'd have to play things a bit differently now. No more being a complete bitch to these girls. Not that she had any love for them, but her dislike of her freakish roommates paled in comparison to her loathing of the Headmistress. Had she really done anything to Katie? No. But she was in charge. She was 'The Man.' And that was reason enough.

Mugi nodded in response to the demon's question. "Sure, I'm always up for new flavors." With a smile, the Yuki-Onna opened her mouth up, expecting the demon to feed her. The elder mentioned once that close friends in the west fed each other, perhaps if the demon fed her, that would mean they're good friends?

Lyssa made a small, happy sounding squeal, obviously enjoying this. “Never had chocolate before?” She asked curiously as she stuck her fork into the cake, still not caring that the Yuki-onna was still clinging to her. The demon then brought the fork to the girl and waited for her to eat it.

Mugi bit down on what she was offered and attempted to talk while chew, though remembering it was quite difficult to do that so she chewed the food down and then spoke, "of course I've had chocolate before, just not in ice cream cake." She then took of a piece of her own and pointed it at the demon. "Try it."

Well, she wasn’t going to say no to a cute girl offering her cake! Lyssa said nothing, only chomped down on the raspberry cake. A smile formed on her lips as she did so. She didn’t really have much of a thing for raspberries herself, but well, it was delicious. Sweets were sweets, though, and they were all delicious.

“Ehe, this is delicious!” The demon giggled, mouth still full of cake before swallowing. She had never tasted something quite like this before. She might actually have to order something like it more often. The demon, then proceeded, to hug the girl once again.

Katie glanced over to the other two girls that were...well...straight-up flirting with one another. Ooookaaaay then. She was never a big fan of PDA. Like, seriously, just get a room. Preferably one Katie wouldn't have to sleep in later. Ugh. She then returned her attention to Iravis.

Iravis rolled her eyes as the other two girls flirted with each other. Her conversation with Katie was much, much more interesting however. The Goddess promplty discovered the other woman was planning something with her overly large grin.

"There was a disagreement. And her sentiments about parentage aren't returned equally ..." A single finger went over her bottom lip as she looked to the sky. "... so hypothetically if a fiend materialized in such a way as to pester her, they would catch my interest as an ally ..."

Who just dropped a bombshell. So, all isn't well in Roswell, eh? Katie nodded. If little red riding hood here wasn't the biggest fan of the headmistress either, then she might be useful. If nothing else, Katie would have options. Still, there was the chance that the girl was just trying to fuck with her. Or maybe Fiore suspected something was up and sent her girl to investigate.

She'd have to play things delicately.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Wanting to screw over yer own Moms? That's cold girl." she replied as she cut another piece of her cake. "But hell, who am I to judge? My brothers and I were little hellions if we didn't get our way. Almost drove our poor Mama into the looney bin." She brought a piece of the strawberry cake to her mouth and popped it in. Still not too bad.

"But, Mugi's right, yeah? If we're stuck being roommates this year, we might as well make the most of it. And if you need a 'fiend' to go after yer Moms with ya, well, I mean, I'd do that for a new friend. How about you lovebirds?" Katie called over to the other girls with a chuckle. She felt satisfied, but it didn't show. This could be a golden opportunity. If she had to stick with a couple losers to make it happen, so be it.

"Lovebirds?" Now, of all things Mugi knew she wasn't a bird so it must have been just a figure of speech. She broke it down in her head and assumed it must be about people being together in one of those relationships. Not that she cared either way because the different flavors of Ice Cream Cake tasted so good anyhow. Truthfully, she'd ask the other two if she could try a bit of theirs for a bit of hers but they really didn't seem too friendly over all. "We just feel like close friends to me. Maybe I'm in a different train of thought than what I've been told of westerners?" She questioned to Lyssa, who's been the only one to really interact with her.

“Yep yep, just friends.” Lyssa replied, finally releasing Mugi from that hug, though she gave her a rather mischievous grin. “Well, unless you want to be more.” What that meant, she didn’t elaborate on, before turning to Katie and Iravis.

“Hehe, well we’re roommates so that automatically makes us friends, right?” Lyssa replied. At least, they should attempt to get along anyways. Katie seemed like a bit of a troublemaker, but she liked getting into trouble herself so she couldn’t say. Iravis was warm and cuddly so she couldn’t be a terrible person, either.

With the other two girls getting involved the Goddess decided that perhaps it was better to continue the conversation later and decided to follow Katie's cue for now. Upon hearing Lyssa's words, the fire bird gave off a noncommittal nod. "It is wise for people who live together to have a sense of familiarity with the others." If she could though, she would try to get out of this blasted room. For now, Iravis made her best effort to be nice, because she doubted Livia would have mercy at this point.

Hmm...well it wasn't EXACTLY the response she was hoping for, but hey, friendship all around worked too. For now. She'd just have to work on Lyssa and Mugi a bit to get them to come around but...well, they seemed simple enough. Katie stabbed at her cake once more, but she just couldn't bring herself to eat another bite. She flashed her cheshire grin to the other girls as she pushed her plate. "Weeelp, I dunno about you guys, but I'm stuffed. And uh..." she started, getting onto her feet and throwing her arms behind her head to stretch. "Ahh...We should probably be heading back, yeah? I'm all for cutting class, but it's probably not a good idea on the first day."

“Ehe, why not? I’ve skipped the first day of school at my old school last year.” Lyssa replied to Katie. “I’m not one for school in general, heh.” She somewhat nervously chuckled, but didn’t elaborate much before swiftly finishing the rest of her cake before leaving.

She stood up from her chair, about to follow the others out until she noticed that Iravis had yet to even eat a single bite of her cake. Well. She would not let such an insult to the cake deities’ stand! She collected the cake from the table, and asked the people behind the counter for something to take it home in.

Afterwards, she swiftly followed the rest of the girls back to the academy.

[BlackPanther]

The Tower Conflict

Arthur was about to comment but then Cupido flew in and gave his two cents, then yet another person flew in. It was starting to get rather crowded on top of the tower, at least as far as Mr. Wick was concerned. With a sigh he said, "Everyone please remain calm, as much fun as it would be to engage in tower destroying fights there are other people to consider here. If anyone is going to actually fight could you at least have the respect to do it somewhere where someone won't have to clean up the mess." Arthur practically moaned. Why did the first day of the school year always go like this?

Sorcha was just a movement away from knocking this annoying man off of her tower. Bat? BAT? How in the name of Odin did she look like a bat?!

“CALM?! You expect me to remain calm, Arthur?!” She growled. “I am a dragon that’s old enough to be this cretin’s mother! I refuse to take such disrespect from this insolent creature!”

It seemed, however, Drael’s words worked a little better than Arthur’s. She shot a look over to him, ignoring Cupido for the most part at the moment.

“I am Sorcha Ó Maoilriain. Radiant King of the Heavens.” The dragon huffed, tail slamming the roof of the tower angrily. “At least one of you have proper manners when addressing a dragon.”

"And I am Draél Fahlmer, at your service noble king of the heaven's" Draél replied bowing yet again even if he for a moment pondered if Sorcha actually was a herm as she called herself king... yet it was not his place to judge nor did it really matter if she was to him. He looked to the teacher, the Angel and the weird boy thing that had climbed up the side of the tower and likely had started all this.

He didn't really know what the Angel did here, perhaps he also lived here?:.. yet he doubted it somehow. "I am sorry to see your current home to be harmed, If you wish I shall aid you in its repairs in any way I can. " he would add before looking to the others who clearly didn't seem to help the situation much.

A pussy-whipped little midget was the next to join in this rag-tag group, illicting a particular sense of 'fucking really?' from Arata. Compared to the others present, this newcomer, some Drail Fallmer, was pretty much...insignificant. Naturally, the oni decided that this one was someone not worth considering at all, before laughing at the bat-girl's haughty self-introduction.

"Enjoying the attention, bat-girl? Cause you're neither a dragon nor a King. Would have thought that you'd know the difference between man and woman, if not the difference between bats and dragons, but, well, guess that's what happens when you're self-deluded enough to think that this is your tower."

Cracking the back of his neck, the oni continued, "Though, hey, since we're all going to get to know each other before I knock your flat ass into the Lunar Kingdom, I'm Arata. Nice to meet you, Socchan!"

Cupido watches the mess unfolding in front of him with a rather unamused expression. He sighs heavily and pinches his nose before looking at them. "Alright darlings, You've got three seconds to get off of this roof and reestablish yourselves before I shove you off" He crosses his arms and wind starts picking up as he waits. He has switched to teacher mode, showing that he is no longer going to just watch them squabble. Nor is he introducing himself, he feels no need to do so when they are like this. His eyes seem to glow a bit as the wind seems to start going faster and faster. He definitly would shove them off....though how fast the wind is when he does so he hasnt decided yet. Somehow his hair is staying perfect even with the wind...sorcery.

Hmph. Well, at least one of these people were being respectful. Drael Fahlmer. She’d remember to thank him later. For now, however, she was going to smite this Insolent whelp into the next life.

“I do not know who you are, ‘darling’,” She replied to Cupido, completely ignoring the wind. “But this isn’t your fight, nor do you have any right to interfere.” Sorcha readied her glaive, taking a defensive stance. Electricity visibly danced across the weapon and the air around her was even charged with it.

“If you wish to fight, then so be it. I will give you the honor of being struck down by the same hand that killed the mighty Beowulf and fought alongside King Arthur.”

Well, Good judgement asside and reasoning thrown into a lake. Draél didn't like the fact that his magical sense were buzzing off at the moment the Angel started flapping his wings. If this was something made to threathen them or if it was an serious attack towards all of them was not something he wanted to find out. He raised his hand towards Cupido, the angel who obviously was close enough for him, and within his direct view. Then all that remained was some good ol magical Defiling.

So, by attempting to interrupting the wind building up, he created a low pressure zone causing it to swirl and double in strength. , which caused the wind to whiff up into an frikkin tornado.. so... it didn't quite go as Draél had intended, but it was an interesting effect to say the least. Instead of being thrown of the roof... Draél was kinda sucked off the roof by the Tornado instead.

Beowulf? King Arthur? With all these random names being tossed around, Arata couldn't help but laugh further. Empty threats and pointless boasts? Oh, how frightening from a bat-girl and a chicken-man. As the wind picked up further, a gale turned into a tempest, the oni decided that words were pointless now. His cloak was blown to the side, revealing his two horned heritage, and he cracked his neck, clapping his hands together. His feet dug into the stone as if it was dirt, and his hands clenched, forming steel fists.

With a mockingly gentlemanly gesture, he allowed Sorcha to have the first go.

Arthur couldn't really get a word in with everyone talking and acting. Cupid tried to looked tough with some wind, which then turned into a damn great deal of wind. Arthur's hat went flying away, no doubt lost forever. A shame, that one was one of Arthur's favorite hats. At least they were all identical.
One of the people on the tower also was flung away, wings likely didn't help Arthur mused to himself as he crouched down and threw himself against the stone he had been leaning against. Looking over the chaos Arthur saw the trouble maker's horns and battle ready stance, well... Was one thing Arthur could do to keep Sorcha both safe and not tearing this boy apart.
Holding his arm out to point at the horned problem Arthur let loose a wave of fire, not really intending to burn the kid but hopefully throw him off the tower.

Cupido watches as his winds turn into a tornado. great...fantastic His wings spread out and he catches the air aiming for inside of the tornado. His eyes light up as he starts getting control of the thing. Then, the thing catches on fire. Irritation goes through him as he works on calming down the wild winds. It takes quite awhile and he isnt fully visible to tell what exactly he is doing to get it calmed down.

Once the winds calm down and nothing is left but a small fire, which is put out by a more controlled burst of wind, he flies back up and straightens his vest. Since Arthur is taking the oni his attention goes to the dragon. "I have the right because I'm a teacher darling, and I'm not joining a fight I'm trying to stop it" not very effectivly, but he's switching gears....again. His eyes start lighting up again as he focuses on the dragon. "Once you step off the tower roof, by stepping backwards, your vision will return" With his focus he creates the illusion in her mind that she is now in a forest. His illusions being much stronger then his winds in the control standpoint....and what he mainly focused on, she can see hear feel and smell all aspects of the forest. Though, this takes a lot of focus, and if she doesnt step off the roof, it will likely drain him...even with his good sized mana pool. With his focus somewhat spilt between the dragon and the outside world, it makes snapping his focus harder. But not impossible.

As the wind howled, Sorcha seemed completely unimpressed. She simply stood there, mouth formed into a snarl as the wind died down. Neither she nor the Oni had moved an inch, both apparently waiting for the other to make the first move. The dragon hadn’t even batted a single eye at the tempest, or when Drael was tossed off. Fool shouldn’t have interfered.

Then other started talking as well, saying something about him being a teacher. Well, that was probably pretty bad. Livia would have her scaly hide if she heard about this incident…but, well. That wasn’t something she was too concerned with at the moment.

That was…until apparently her mind was assaulted with an illusion. North…Northumberland? What was…no, that was an illusion no matter how real it seemed. How dare this fool. How dare he.

“This is your version of not interfering?” She snarled, not moving an inch. “I refuse to move from my home. You’ll have to do better than a petty illusion.”

With the wind dying down, Draél fell back down on the roof with a thud. He shook his head to get the dizziness away and then stood back up rubbing his sore butt. [i][color=firebrick]'So... that didn't work as intended....'[/i][/color] he thought to himself as he looked around still seeing two of most things. As he gathered it together he saw scourge marks on the roof, and Soracha being under the effects of some kind of illusion chanted by the angel... who again only seemed to want to do bad stuff to the innocent.

He had failed last time, but this time he was mad... he had a good cause and for some reason it seemed like a perfectly good idea to attempt to rain on the angels parade once more. Raising his hand he focused on the angel and betted with his good ol Defile again. Attempting to free Sorcha from the Illusion.

Cupido is focused, feeling that he has a good hold on the dragon. At least, he did until he feel like he got hit by a boulder. It snaps his focus enough to cause his illusion to weaken and for him to get the wind knocked out of him for a second. Painful, but doable. With the illusion weakened, the forest scene isn't quite as clear, the smells arent nearly as realistic and as for feeling, the roof can be somewhat felt through the forest ground. He keeps his concentration on the dragon, figuring whoever just hit him with that spell he could deal with in a moment....since they arent likely to eat him. "I understand that this is your home darling, Im not trying to evict you" slight pause as he recover his breath fully. His voice not quite as strong sounding. "I just want you off your roof so you dont collapse your home." Trying to reason with the reptile now. Really hoping the illusion holds, because he isnt fond of dying....or being burned...but mostly not fond of dying.

“Then stop that fool, not me.” Sorcha loudly shouted. Pointing her glaive in the last known position of Arata. “He’s the one who insists on fighting.” She wanted to kill him yes, but she wasn’t going to chase down a fleeing enemy who had no desire to fight. That was one of the most dishonorable things she could have done here.

…and there was only one person she’d ever stoop to such a level to kill.

What...was all this?

Arata should have been happy, really, that he'd be engaged in a simulating combat scenario of one versus many, but...what? The waves of flame pushed against him, heating his body uncomfortably, but there was no razor-sharp intent behind it, only a lukewarm 'warning' shot that didn't phase him at all. He withstood the soft impact of the intangible flames, and through the burning veil, he could see the chicken-man perform some sort of magic upon Sorcha. In a way, the oni could accept that.

What he couldn't accept, though, was that this Radiant 'King', this bat-winged bitch who treated her naginata more as a toy than anything else, was then commanding chicken-wings to stop himself.

Really?

What sort of ruler was she, that she'd cower behind the backs of others, telling them to deal with a threat to her territories that she originally planned on taking down herself? What the actual fuck was this? How could someone who was so strong be such a pathetic sack of shit? And how could this pathetic sack of shit still be such a disgusting, self-serving narcissit, drinking in the undeserved praise of others and calling herself a 'dragon'?

And that fucking boot-licking pussy-whipped midget. What, does the great dragon king spread her legs to those who fight for her? Is this a thing in Montagne Academy?

Arata boiled, seethed, his blood burning hotter than the mediocre flames that were output by a teacher who didn't even use his full power. He was shaking, he was breaking, and then...

He let out a long, long sigh.

This wasn't hatred.

This was just disappointment.

The disappointment of one's cowardice, one's ulterior motives, one's undeserved respect.

"So that's all, huh? Even a king in this era is but a shadow of the men that fight for her."

His fury faded, his soul turning cold, the 999 onis no longer rampaging within. There wasn't going to be a fight. There wasn't going to be a battle. There wasn't going to be a war.

There was simply...nothing.

He disregarded the flames and jumped off the tower.

Whatever he was seeking, the oni wasn't going to find it on top of the tower. Not amongst the thoughtless ants that answered the call of a fertile queen.

Hearing the Oni’s words, Sorcha snarled. How dare HE. How dare everyone around here just interfere like this! She didn’t even know the other two imbeciles. Arthur knew better to interfere like this! She may have allowed him, but she was still not happy about it. The other two should be lucky she didn’t turn them into a charred, blackened, corpse and hung their skeletons as a warning in her home!

As the Oni left, she didn’t attempt to stop them. The idiot men here had already turned this entire thing into a farce, and she wasn’t going to have her honor, pride, or reputation tarnished further.

Ignoring the Illusion, Sorcha gave a powerful flap of wings, generating a powerful gust that would have threatened to stumble most normal men. She landed at the edge of the tower, a loud, thunderous roar that echoed across the entire academy escaped from her throat.

It was clear, she wasn’t a very happy lizard.

“Listen here, you creature!” She shouted, not caring if he was actually listening. “I shall not be having my pride nor Honor tarnished by these idiots who interfered!” She slammed the end of her Glaive into the roof. “One week from now! I challenge you to a duel! No restrictions, no one to interfere! Sorcha Ó Maoilriain demands it! If you have any shred of honor, you will accept!”

With her issue challenged, she didn’t even wait for a response before turning back to the men. The illusion had obviously weakened enough for it to not affect the dragon too much. She gave each and every one of the men around her a harsh, threatening glare.

“Everyone. Off. My tower. Before I throw you off.”

"Well, seems you have this under control." Arthur said with a shrug. From personal experience Arthur knew better then to stay at a dragon's home too long. Looking over to the rest of the school groudns Arthur was gone in an instant, teleported across the campus.

Draél gave a sllight shrug to it all, honor was something someone had invented some time ago for no apperent reason and the words of entity combined of 1k empty minds didn't really fill anything. When Sorcha demenanded all to leave he simply bowed to her and gave a nod "As you desire... just don't let a bag of bull rattle you... they only seek attention in the end" he said before he leaned backwards and fell off the roof before spinning around and landing on the ground below. Then he simply walked off even if he was tempted to stay he figuring he better find a new place to stay as the bag of bull kinda had ruined that one.

The sudden cut off of his illusion caused his head to throb. Seeing that the dragon is now off the roof he saw now reason to stay there. With a step off of the roof his wings spread and catch air, allowing him to glide to the ground and land with an almost elegant twist. Now he was going to have to hunt down something for this headahce of his. Great.

Putting his hands in his pockets he lightly checks on himself, as in making sure he isnt about to pass out from the amount of mana he used. Finding himself to be okay, he strides away from the tower. He felt the need...the need for tea.

With everyone off of her tower, the dragon swiftly returned to her room, though she left the window open. Sleeping would be almost impossible now.

Draél Fahlmer

@Rune_Alchemist

After the tower incident slightly resolved, Draél had other matters to ahead. He knew exactly where to go next and it was with deterination he crossed the campus and entered the main academy building. He looked around inside for a map which he soon found on the wall, after checking it for a moment and determining where the headmistress office were he started walking up and down the corridors and stairs needed to reach it. After reaching the door, he snorted and gave it a hard knock wondering if she would be there. Of course he had a lot on his mind and he fully intended to give the headmistress a big piece of it.

It was the first time in a while he was a bit rattled himself, mostly becuase just going here and thinking about stuff made him angry. However he eventually just sighed as he waited for either someone to answer the door or in worst case that he would need to track her down. He looked to the time thinking she probably still be here and while waiting paced slightly back and forth while thinkin to himself.

Melody

@liferusher

Having been discarded and abandoned, Even Melody eventually got bored of pretending to be a rug or something on the floor. Unlike the other too she was curious about this whole place and wanted to explore it. She transformed once more, ending up in a her previous Jackal form yet this time donning what looked like exploration gear and equipment. Then she sat out even turning on the lamp on her helmet as she wentured through the corridors full of curiosity of what traps could lure around the next corner. It didn't take her long to leave the library behind. She walked out to the campus area and enjoyed the sunlight probably more than most.

The scents around her quickly got to her nose and caressed her senses all over as she fully enjoyed them. It was such a beautiful day, everyday... and this day was no exception. She greeted people she passed, and eventually came to an stop as she noticed a cat-girl sleeping in the grass. She mused to this, she liked cats, and cat girls were no exception. She quickly approached her and then slumped down nearby. "Aww what a cutie~" she said cheerfully as she let her hands trail down Shino's head as she patted her, she then scratched under her chin and along her back as she got all over herself with how fun it was to play with her.

[DELETED7282737]

Shino Koizumi

Her ears twitched to the sound of soft footsteps, not the regular human feet but something completely diffrent. Shino slowly opened one of her eyes while not moving the rest of her body from the spot she had chosen. Her sight trailed upwards into the sun looking at the jackal. She looked a little like the creatures from way back in time. She could still remember them yet they did look a little diffrent. The person claimed Shino to be cute. She got that a lot and would be hugged after that. Shino felt the soft touch of the hand as her ears almost instantly lowered themselves in defence.

Shino's tails swiffed about behind her as the hand of the woman touched her head. She had gotten a little scared when she touched her head without notice but she wasn't so violent with her sensitive ears so she would allow it for this time. Shino momentarily half opened her eyes but simply stared in front of her trying to get used to this weird person. When she knew the woman wasn't gonna do anything bad to her she closed her eyes again enjoying both the petting and the sun. She softly purred at the tickling feelings she got. Her belly started to feel like butterflies as the hand kept on moving.

Shino slowly raised her upper body and opened her eyes once more. A slight blush lightened her face with her half tired look still on her face as she looked at Melody. Shino softly rubbed her head against Melody her body as her chin was being tickled. Her mouth was slight a gape as Shino's tail also rised up in the air a little clearly showing off that she enjoyed it. Shino felt defenceless, always when theses people did this to her she couldn't resist and would just leave this world. Being half cat had its downsides.

Melody her hand trailed along her back making goosebumps rise all over her body. Shino shivered and looked up at Melody with a quite bazald look on her face. When the woman gave her a pause she stared at her open mouthed.

"Please ask Shino if you want to touch Shino's ears. Shino's ears very sensitive nya. You gets recommendation from Shino however, girl has hands of maiden nya."

When she said that she snuggles against Melody with part of her head and one of her ears briefly. Her arms supporting her when she leaned closer to Melody.

"Does you has name? Shino wants to know name of maiden."

~The post in which Drael fails at everything~

Livia had just returned to her office, and was sitting in her desk. Gall had just left, they had finished discussing plans for the party a few days from now, and she was taking a moment to herself, as she looked idly around her office, a cup of tea sitting on her desk.

Her office was rather large. A plush dark blue carpet covered most of the floor, along with several bookcases a few shelves and things displaying some odd trinket or two. Her desk was sitting against the far wall, purple curtains were drawn over windows behind it. A fireplace was also built into one of the walls.

It was then, she heard a rather annoyed or angry sounding knock at her door. She didn’t know who would be idiotic enough to come bother her at the moment, but the door opened regardless.

“Do come in, though my time is short.” She said, inviting whoever was out there inside.

Draél who was still pacing a bit outside looked to the door as he heard a voice from inside. It was no doubt the same that he had heard during the gathering today and as he heard the invite he was about to put his hand on the handle when the door opened on its own, He stepped incide the room and once inside the headmistress office he looked around at everything to get good understanding of the room.

After that he shut the door behind him and wandered further into the room and up to the opposite side of the desk. "Mam, I'm sorry to need to distrub you. But I've come here to discuss my room arrangements." he said throwing in a slight respectul bow even if he was still a bit angry about it all. "That tower you asked me to stay in seem occupied by a Dragon, and someone I think might been my supposed dorm mate... disturbed her enough for her to grow furious. I've come to Demand that the tower is repaired to its prime condition, and to request a new room if its possible. I would rather not intrude on a lady's domain if possible" he said as he crossed his arms with determination.

Well, this was certainly not what she was expecting, though she did already know of the little fight. She was going to have a little chat with Sorcha later about it. Arata as well. That Oni needed to learn not to be so…disrespectful. Especially to someone she personally considered a friend.

“Ah…I take it you are Drael Fhalmer, then?” She of course, couldn’t read minds and had no way of knowing if he was without him introducing himself, but it was a logical conclusion based on who she knew was living in the tower. She hadn't arranged the dorms herself, but she had seen who was being put where.

“You needn’t worry about the tower, or your place of residence. Sorcha agreed to these terms before the start of the school year. That is why I had the staircase leading to the upper floor removed. She doesn’t need it anyways.” Livia replied. “And of course it will be repaired, in the timeliest fashion I am capable of having it done in.”

Draél starred at the lady for a while, but when she guessed his name his gaze softened as he realized that perhaps an intruduction should have been in order. "You are correct madam... I'am Draél Fahlmer... at your service" he said bowing once ore. Yet as he heard everything seemed... surprisingly cool, he pondered about it for a moment before nodding. "Very well.. In that case I am thankful for your time." he said as he stood down slightly and then let out a sigh.

He turned back towards the door and walked towards it before glancing back. "I am sorry for disturbing you, and If I came of as rude... the past events were a bit... furstrating to say the least. Thank you for understanding... Good evening mam" he said and reached for the handle on the door.

“It is quite alright, Drael. And no, no, you weren’t rude at all. You were simply concerned.” She said, as he turned to leave. However, the moment his hand touched the door and attempted to open it. It wouldn’t budge. No matter how hard he pulled or twisted the knob, it would refuse to open.

“However, Mr. Fhalmer…” She gave him a sharp glare from across the room. Perhaps she was being a little bit hard on one of her students, but…well, one does not simply demand that she do anything. Least of all, one of her students. “Just because you are one of my precious students…doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want.” Her voice took a slightly dangerous tone. “The next time you ‘demand’ something from me…you’ll have more to worry about than whether or not you’re intruding in a ladies place of residence. Do I make myself clear, Mr. Fhalmer?” With that said, the door handle would move, opening the door by itself, indicating that he should probably leave.

Draél glanced back to her as the door didn't open, it made him ponder slightly as she spoke to him about not being rue and then after gave him a double message in a rather threathening tone. However, this caused a sligh smrik to cross Draél's face as he could't really help but to find the situation quite funny or familiar. He glanced back to the door as it opened and she questioned if she made herself clear.

At that point Draél looked into her eyes. "Oh my... I'm not sure if I am to be concerned of a possible cougar, or if it's going to bite." he replied before walking out the door. "Good bye" he would say and then leave. He then pondered about what to do next as he walked down the corridor and back out on campus.

After he left, Livia simply went back to work, more or less ignoring the comment.

---

After pondering the possibilities for a while Draél decided that returning to the tower for the evening might be a slightly bad idea... but however there was something he had to do before that. He left the campus area and went to a flower shop, there he would buy a single red rose and a appology card. Then he would leave the shop and return to the campus area and as he headed towards the buildings he spotted the top window being open.

He sighed, and then flew up to just beneath the window where he would stop for a moment to look at it. He gave the window a slight knock as he placed the rose at the bottom of it.

Sorcha, had been looking after her Glaive. The thing was old, after all. Around fourteen hundred years old, to be exact. She had treated rather poorly today, in all honesty. What, with throwing it at the roof and everything. That was no way to treat a weapon, even if it was one like hers, and made out of scales from her own hide.

Now though? She just wanted a nice, hot, soak in her bath. So she had set about removing her armor. First came the belt, and the half skirt covering one side of her legs. She tossed them onto her bed. Next, came the greaves, she tossed them onto the floor next to her bed, revealing some quite sharp looking claws at the end of her toes. Next, her bracers, and the armor covering her arms. Lastly she started removing the breastplate.

She was about halfway through unbuckling It, when she heard a knock at the window. She turned her head, towards it, a look of utter shock and disbelief plastered on her face as she saw who was actually standing there. He was probably getting quite the view of her assets, as well.

Now, she honestly wasn’t that embarrassed about being seen naked. She was a dragon after all. She didn’t normally wear clothes. Besides, she had white scales covering most of her legs, sides, arms, and waist. Just because she was in a human form, didn’t really change her mind set a whole lot.

No. She was furious for another reason. She told this whelp to remove himself from her tower - And he hadn’t. The dragon was too furious to say anything at the moment. Instead, she grabbed her glaive, and pointed it right towards Drael, electricity arcing along the polearm.

So, maybe it was not the best choice to visit Sorcha before she had calmed down, but the sight Draél got of a quite naked Dragoness probably made quite a nice memory to his memory bank of... nauhty stuff. The scene turned out quite well, even with a polearm flashing with electricity getting pointed at him quite directly. Yet now he felt he might or might not need another rose to appologize for looking at her while she was naked...

However he decided to be the better man about it, clapped his hands together and bowed. "Thank you for the beautiful sight you sexy dragoness... I am sorry for before. But I do thank thy kindly... " he would say figuring that this might possibly end, pretty badly... but hey... you only live once... and if life is to end with a sexy dragoness naked in front of you, you might as well revel in the moment.

"...you wouldn't per chance want help... polishing those dazzling scales of yours?... " he would add gambling on the chance that she actually... might say yes.

Polishing…her dazzling scales?...well, they were dazzling, indeed. And she was indeed sexy, but that was irrelevant at the moment. If he truly wanted to apologize for his behavior and interfering with her honorable duel, he wouldn’t have returned until she allowed him too.

Drael wasn’t getting what he hoped at all. She simply snarled at him, a look of pure rage crossing her face as a bolt of electricity erupted from her glaive, slamming right into him, followed right by two more.

A simple 'no' might have sufficed, but Draél wouldn't hold it against Sorcha as he clearly were right given the situation. He were intruding on her domain at a rather bad time, but then again... seeing her naked might have been well worth it. How he would feel in a moment however might be a bit... shocking as electricity struck him three times.

Having a quick greeting by Nicolai Tesla and a bit of a sting from a Sorcha coil. Draél let out a cough of black smoke as his body was slightly seared from the experience. "I take that... as a no..." he said wheezing. "I... see you around... probably" he said as he fell back to the ground with a comical crash. He then laid there starring up at the sky for a while. 'totally... worth it...' he thought to himself as he remained there a while... a bit to stunned to move at the moment. At last the rose was still safe in the window, and his appology card reading -Sorry about the event before Graceful Dragoness Sorcha. -D- if she decided to actually read it.

After he had been removed from the window, she swiftly moved to it, not bothering to even see if Drael was alive. She slammed the window shut, locking it so that she wouldn't be disturbed further.

The Rose still decorating the bottom of the window, would likely be found at a later date if someone didn't move it before then.

[sakurasan]

-Lukas, Meria, Alucard, Lissandra:Dorms -> City

Lukas' eyes widened in utmost shock as the girl spoke, his ears hearing what he never thought he would hear in a while. Blinking for a moment to dissipate any shock, he was back to normal in mere seconds, albeit, as normal as a flirt could look while examining someone. His eyes lit up like fireworks, a smile now rivaling the Cheshire Cats own, he quipped his gun, and took another shot as he stared back into lively purple of her eyes.

"With you by my side? I'm sure neither of us will have nightmares again." He beamed with confidence as he gave a fleeting wink to the girl as he was going to be on a roll soon enough. Shifting his head away just slightly, he kept his eye on the blossoming Sakura. "Of course, it's funny that you eat nightmares... it's a huge contrast to what you are - a dream come true." Pushing himself off the side of the pole, he explicitly decided to draw the line and stop for the moment due to a sprung idea from yours truly.

Best way to bond with these two right off the bat was to invite them to lunch! Of course, he would be neglecting the other dude... maybe they might run into the guy on their way there? "Hey, you guys want to grab a quick bite at-"

Speak of the devil, and he shall involuntarily appear! The possible cock blocking Taijitu finally arrived after taking a moderate amount of time to get here. While he didn't mind the presence, he was at least hoping to spend some time with the ladies as he had the perfect place to invite them... if they had any prior interest in seafood. Lukas took a quick note of his posture and emergence. Dark hair, dark clothes, shirtless, and just... dark, save for his skin. His aura was one of confidence and seemed unwilling to back down.

Eh, whatever, he might as well give a laid back yell hello, and...

...

Oh good god, he was hitting on chicks too while not using any witty lines, along with adding a suggestive sticky note by his top bunk... Lukas huge grin turned into a singular line as his left eyebrow shot up to question the guy. Whatever it was, he felt the dude was trying too hard as he strode in, and attempted to get laid right off the bat. Oh boy... this was going to be fun dealing with a plausible rival 24/7.

Meria couldn't help but smile at the man's response. It was funny how he was calling her a dream come true. Honestly, she didn't understand the line much but she supposed that it was... flirting. Probably. He was a breath of fresh air in Meria's eyes. Flirting but not inappropriately suggesting anything. I think. "Hmm~ Thank you?" was the only response she could really come up with.

Soon, she turned her head at the sight of another person coming in. Oh, this must be my other roommate~ She smiled at him before her smile toned down a bit after noticing his... over-confident aura. It reminded her of her father and that wasn't something that she was a fan of. Meria shook off the thought, not wanting to assume anything without even getting to know the person.

Why would anyone mind? It wasn't taken, right? "Oh, Ok. You can be on the top. Not all of us have decided on a bed yet anyways." She smiled kindly at the man before lifting her bags and looking at the available beds. Which there were none of. There was only one and it was the top bunk. Thank god. Hm? Meria glanced at what he had just written, examining it for a second. "Alucard + ???" What was he implying? It wasn't a math problem. She looked at it with a questionable look before completely ignoring it, not actually caring.

Walking over to her bed, she looked over at Lukas. "I guess I'll be bunking with you then." she sets her bags down next to her new bed and takes out a purple, galaxy sweater which matched with her eyes coincidentally. I think I'll wear this soon...

sweater

She threw the over sized bag on her bed since it was already neatly folded. Oh, that's right. Meria soon notices that she had completely forgotten to introduce herself to the man that had walked inside. He looked normal to her, someone you could see everyday on the streets I suppose. "Ah, It's nice to meet you. My name is Meria by the way. And yours is?" with that, she throws another kind smile at the man. You freaking remind me of my ex-father way too much. For fun? What was he talking about? Doing people? Urgh, confusing. "Umm, do you mean go places with people?" she asked him, not meaning to sound rude and correct his English which proved to be confusing herself. "I heard that there were a couple of places around here. A pastry shop and such."

Lissandra rubbed her eyes with annoyance. How could she be put with two of the most flirtatious and confident guys in the entire school. Surely during her interview they saw that she wasn't the kind of person that like people with big egos and attitudes. Sighing to herself she looked at the newcomer. This one was even worse then the first guy. No shirt, what was this guy trying to prove to people? Were these peoples self esteem so low that they needed to prove their masculinity to other by show boating around.

Though like Lukas he also had a bit of a cuteness to him. Like a bad boy in olden films. Smiling to herself she repressed the urge to fling herself into his arms and straightened up right.

Alucard analyzed the responses to his presence and his actions. The colorful girl, Meria, seemed to be pleasant enough, the boy seemed skeptical of his presence as most males were wont to be. The boring girl had an odd mixed expression of vexation contrasted against her smile. "I am known to most as Alucard." Meria's confusion amused him, it was clear that she was rather unversed in the intimate arts. No matter, plenty of time to fix that. "Sure, lets go with that. Food sounds good right now after that boring speech, if you guys want I can buy." A confident smirk remained on his face as he stretched out on his bed like a cat. It was much nicer than he was expecting for being a school facility.

Alucard that was his name. Of course it was he was the last name on the paper she'd been given. "Greeting Alucard I'm Lissandra Everdale. I should probably repeat the warning I gave Lukas over there to you. Stay out of my bed if you value your life. However from the looks of you stranger things could happen tonight."

Lissandra was taken aback by her boldness these flirtatious beasts were bringing out an animal inside her. Shaking the impure thoughts from her mind she looked Alucard up and down. "I'm game for food if you're buying."

At least Meria and Lissandra were resilient to their, recalling the threat and coy approach the girl he gravitated towards said earlier. Meria seemed to ignore him, which must of meant he out charmed his new roommate! That, or they were both were celibates to some extent... which he honestly didn't mind he guess? To each and their own? Anyways, Lukas looked over at Meria who was staring inquisitively at the small square, almost as if she was attempting to solve an algebraic equation before setting her bags near his own.

Lukas gave the girl a faint smile as he began to organize himself, pushing his sheathes near his pillow as he began setting a few of his jackets. While he did remove some of his clothes, some of the clothing looked adjacent to his own, save for the fact that it looked like it fit on a buxom gal, rather than Lukas. "I look forward to being your bunk buddy too Meria!"

Taking some of the clothes, he began walking over to the closet and began hanging most of his jackets up, keeping a bit of an eye on the pervert. As soon as he finished hanging them up, he was stunned to hear Merias confusion over whether the note was for going places with with people. What made him a bit appalled that he decided to go along with it and stay sly. Best he set the record straight to dissuade the girl from being ensnared as this would probably encourage him.

... which is what Lissandra was further emboldening with that latter statement. Great. At least date the dude first before you do it...

Pivoting around and walking towards his and Merias bunks, Lukas glanced at her before nearing the dream eater and whispering something into her ear. "That whole equation means he wants to 'sleep' with someone, aka have sex." It took a horndog to know a horndog, but for one this horndog wasn't horny enough to perform such a deed... unless given the green light, whilst as a couple with said girl. Whether or not the pure maiden understood this, he would probably have to keep tabs on Alucard; negating his advances with his own.

Meria was folding out some of her clothes calmly, practically ignoring everything around her. The mention of food piqued her interest a bit as she looked up, not at anyone but simply wondering if she would go to eat soon. She hadn't eaten anything yet and she was pretty hungry. Honestly though, she wanted to take a shower. The sea had rubbed off on her and even though she still smelt like flowers, she could somehow smell fish near her. I was out on the boat far too much...

She looked up when she felt someone coming near her. Looking over at Lukas, she gave a small confused look before allowing him to whisper something in her ear. "That whole equation means he wants to 'sleep' with someone, aka have sex." she froze for a second, thinking about what he said and turning to him. Hm? Soon, she turned into a bright tomato and looked embarrassed. "Wh-wh.. I-is that so?" she whispered, playing with her fingers before nodding at Lukas. "Thanks... I-I didn't get that." Meria whispered in his ear, not wanting others to get distracted if she was loud. Meria soon looked down back to her clothes, the red on her cheeks finally wearing off. How embarrassing... Uwaaa~ I didn't get that at all! She felt a bit ashamed of how she couldn't understand what the man had been suggesting. But... It wasn't towards her so it should be fine I suppose.

Meria soon calmed down, her cheeks now leaving a pink tint on the side as she finally finished laying her clothes out and placing a kind smile on as she looked at Lukas. It was nice that she wouldn't be completely oblivious of everything going on around her as long as he was there. "I'm getting hungry so I wouldn't mind going out to eat either." she said, looking over at Alucard now. However, she didn't really feel comfortable going if Lukas wasn't going. Lissa was fine but... she seemed to be making her own advances as well if I'm not mistaken. Not that Meria would judge her. With that, she looked over at Lukas with a sweet smile, "Will you be going as well?"

"Wait one second Alucard, I'm not that kind of girl! Don't think that just because I'm surrounded by cute boys that I'm going to fall into your arms like some kind of damsel in distress." She pointed her finger accusingly at Alucard. Her shoulders sagged as her little speech only made her appear weak and desperate. How could interacting with other people be so hard and involve the use of so much innuendo. Sighing to herself, she resigned herself to whatever fate she had put herself into by uttering her words.

She began unpacking her things. Padding silently around the room her silence a penalty for her recent outcry. Hanging her head in shame she finished packing her things in her assigned draws and turned to the group. "So what is the plan. Food or just general socializing?"

Alucard smirked at the varied reactions. Delightful how much fun someone could cause with only a few well meaning sentences. He rolled forward off his bed and landed on his feet smoothly. The 'boring girl' had just went up two notches and then proceeded to chicken out. Of course Alucard hadn't missed out on the fact that while he wasn't allowed in her bed, she could come in his. Alucard liked a challenge.

"Of course I wouldn't expect you to fall into my arms, even if I am cute. I just hope you catch me if I fall into yours." He winked at her to make it obvious he'd caught her compliment. "Just food unless you kind folks are interested in a little more." Alucard swiftly waltzed to the door, holding it open with a brief bow, "Well then ladies, your free food awaits." He had no interest if the boy came along as well, in fact it seemed as though he might be undermining Alucard's own efforts. Of course that just made things more fun.

As Lukas leaned in near Meria, he took note of the girls flustered state, seeing her fidget almost uncontrollably as she processed the newfound information. Lukas clenched his teeth, feeling pangs of admonishment to the point of frigid guilt. He did want to absolve her of such a brazen assault, but made it worse as the awkward silence became more resound. Suddenly, she thanked him for enlightening her about such an insolent advancement. Looking at her, he kept calm, giving her a smile like a parent consolidating with their child. "Hey, anything for a friend," Lukas whispered back, giving his regards with a patient smile. "I just can't stand taking advantage of someone like that, especially just to bang em; rather appalling if you ask me."

Reeling away, Lukas shot a disgusted glance at Alucard as he stood up, back fully erect. As he returned to his clothes, Lissa intervened, saying she wasn't going to fall into the arms of cute boys. Even though he was probably going to hit on her on a daily basis, he honestly wanted to give her a pat on the back whilst face palming at the same time. Sure, why not invite the guy in more by stating what's on your mind before playing "hard to get." Of course, he did feel a tinge bit bad for her, cringing mentally as she set up poor safeguards, which only lead to him leading with... a really meh quip. "Anyways, yes, I shall be accompanying the posse too, I mean, I'm hungry too you know!" Lukas gave the girl a small chuckle as he looked back at her with a shaft head tilt, grinning as always.

Lissandra followed Meria to wherever it was they were off too. Girls had to stick together. or something like that. "I need to get better at this stuff" Lissandra lamented to herself. She grabbed her things before they left. Her catalyst and her pouch full of marbles that she attached to the belt on her waist.

Eventually, things settled for bit as he opened the door, announcing free food for the duo. Lukas could only roll his eyes as he strapped his sheathes onto his being, and slung his satchel over his shoulders. Eyeing Alucard, he traversed near the door, only to swoop to the opposite side. Facing him, he made one simple request. "Best if you don't take advantage of these two, unless you have the intentions of forging a proper relationship with em..."

With that said, he placed a hand, gesturing the two to go first. "Hey, about lunch... I know of this great seafood place in town..."

Meria headed outside of the door, wondering what he had said but not enough to stop and listen. Soon, they saw the tower once they had gotten outside. Meria, her eyes being pretty good, say Drael. "Drael? That's where he's rooming?... I hope he isn't causing trouble." she said, mistakenly aloud. Hopefully he wouldn't sexually harass anyone. That wouldn't be good at all. She frowned but soon laughed a bit at the sight of him fawning over a beautiful dragon woman. Most likely. That dragon beauty didn't look like she would be falling for him anytime soon though. But maybe.

A sudden roar emanated from the tower; it made his skin crawl as Lukas turned in sheer surprise. It would be nigh impossible not to hear such a deafening roar with... some guys, Cupido, Arthur, some guy, and a familiar face. Lukas very seldom caught a glimpse of the one inhabiting the tower when passing, often just seeing something that looked akin to a wing or the side of an enigmas obscured face. Finally, he was able to gaze at the person he always saw. Lukas knew this was no illusion, but he was bewitched, and could easily identify her as a Dragon in human form. Her beauty left him awestruck, and of course dragons had one thing in common.

Strength. Strength to topple buildings, strength to dissuade even the heartiest of foes. Lukas could probably compare her to the Amazons, however, he was certain they lacked a lot of things this wondrous creature had.

"... she's... I'm at a loss for words, save gorgeous," he whispered in a hushed tone which could be muted by the wind. From what he could discern, there was conflict between the four vs. some kid who was on the tower. Lukas noted over the roaring between two entities, caught in a trance as he attempted to discern what happened. They were both whipping up something fierce, as the woman bellowed her name for everyone to hear.

Committing Sorcha, the Illustrious Dragon of the Heavens to memory, the whole event transpired in mere seconds as the two men attempted to calm the woman down, attempting to stop her from destroying the tower. Judging from the body language of the two, the instigator looked to be the opposing male, standing adjacent to Sorcha. His poise was one of extreme agitation, along with the fact that he was prepped to fight on a moments notice.

As the announcement was completed, it seemed everyone receded, almost returning to their daily lives... except for Lukas, who just stood there, still stuck in that time of the past... pondering, wondering, dreaming, thinking... Raising a hand to his chin he began conceiving a new idea, a plan coming to fruition that could probably land him on the end of a spit, spinning over a fire for her...

But, it was worth a shot... plus, he did want to gauge his own abilities too...

Meria had been staring at what was happening in awe. It was all beautiful. There were many powers being used such as fire that was simply going around... Maybe attacking people but she couldn't tell from the distance. The only ones that really caught her attention was the... Oni And the Dragon. Drael was simply being his own boring self at the time.

The oni especially caught her interest since he, well, looked interesting. Someone that she would like to speak to but from the looks of it... he was with Drael. That couldn't be good. Hopefully, he hadn't done anything to offend him because that would result in perhaps him disliking her either since she was his familiar. The only reason she was his familiar was because she wanted to leave from her perfect ideal and go fulfill her parents wish for her to live life happily and blissfully at a school or simply with friends. Screw her habit to follow whatever she felt her parents wanted.

She turned over to Lukas and stared at him. One word could describe how he looked at the time. And that word was love-struck. She giggled a bit, a sly smile forming on her face as she waved a hand in front of his face for a moment. "She is indeed splendid. turning back to the Dragon woman. Drael seemed to like her and so did Lukas. Hopefully Lukas would end up with her rather that Drael. Meria didn't mean to be harsh but she felt like Lukas would deserved her more if anything. "You still here? Or are you simply in your own little love bubble? Aren't you a little too obvious?" she said teasingly, smiling at him with a laugh and unconsciously poking his cheek real quick. How adorable. Love was adorable. Her parents were adorable especially when they were being romantic. Except for their kisses. Those aren't very adorable to her.

Meria then turned to the oni who had just jumped down from the tower. He looked magnificent. People like him always captured Meria's attention but... she never really spoke to them. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to speak to them. For whatever reason she thought up.

As he pondered he was brought back to reality by the sudden voice of a maiden. Lukas flinched a bit as the trance broke, bit by bit. He wanted to indulge in his perverse fantasies a bit longer, but it seems Meria was much more... verbose in her observations. He was blatantly sure he didn't make it all that obvious he was ogling the lovely lady, dreaming to get lost in her harms as she held him lovi-

...

... Lukas, calm down and quit getting distracted. She's just another person at the school (a really cute and possibly very angry one at that).

"Eh, wh-what?! What do you mean love bubble," he stammered profusely, further accentuating the sheer magnitude of his readability. His mouth was ajar, his eyes were still glazed to an extent, and his cheeks were hot and redder than Meria's when she learned that Alucard was looking to undergo intercourse with either her or Lissa. It took him a few seconds, but he did manage to calm down eventually, returning to a rather lax state of mind. His grin was not as overbearing as he closed one eye and glared at Meria as if he didn't have a singular clue to what she meant. "I'm sorry, but I was just thinking; curious to say the least. After all, I have attended this school for five years, yet have never seen her whole visage when passing by the tower." Lukas shrugged, his hands flattening as they shot up into the air.

"Anyways, shouldn't we get going Meria? Classes start later today, and I at least want to show you guys that one restaurant I mentioned earlier." He spoke, beckoning the young lady to follow after as he began walking once more... before taking a brief stop and staring at the tower once again.

Lukas beamed warmly, in a way that could make even the most frigid of icebergs melt on a moments notice. One thought crossed his mind, however, one saving detail that made him determined to traverse up that tower.

"In one week there will be a fight... but today? I've got a date with a dragon."

Lukas wasn't going to be easily dissuaded.

Meria smiled even more after seeing him turn most likely redder than herself earlier. "H-how cute." she says, laughing a bit at the same time but trying to hold it in. She looked at him as if he thought that she was stupid but simply smiled and turned to look back. Soon, she heard what she only thought of as lies flow out of his mouth but this time succeeded in not laughing. "Is that so? Ok~ They began walking as she nodded once they said that they should start going. Turning back, she looked at the man that had stopped his moving and was staring at the tower now. "Yep. Sure. Just curious." she muttered with a grin once again as she opened her mouth to speak once again.

"Ok, ok! You can stare later~ Let's go eat, I'm starved." she was now much more comfortable around him. She loved to watch people in love sometimes. Something that can easily be used against someone... colossal damage. Like her ex-father always said. "Finding what or whom they love is something wonderful. Threaten to destroy that and they'll most likely break. If they don't destroy them both. Ah, this is why I love, love dear." Meria shook her head. Goddamn ex-father. Always cheating with his methods as well as making me responsible. Well, no mind. I won't be like him. I won't end up like him. She smiles and continues to walk forward but once she noticed no one was looking at her, her smile dispersed. I'm hungry and bored. Great~ Lukas wasn't boring her or anything... It was simply how she was. She took a last glance at the oni before looking down at the ground, her hair covering her face as she looked at her feet and walked on. Nope! She lifted her head and smiled at the sky for a second. Can't do that right now. Oh yeah, I still need to rinse my mouth.
