Despair, the Headmaster that was apparently sent out there, watched from her hiding spot as the boy behind the tree climbed over the large bark, talking with the girl about what was going on. Her ears twitched and swerved around, trying to find the right position to listen in on the conversation. It was faint but clear enough for her to know that they were introducing themselves to each other and continuing on. Good, I don't have to chase them down and call 'them' for assistance, the little one rejoiced in her head. It would have been fun for her to scream and run after them like an insane murderer in the forest, but she had to keep them alive for the school. Dying of a heart attack was the least of their worries.

As they advanced down the pathway, Despair leaped forward through the treetops to follow after them, keeping track of their movements and conversation until they stopped near the entrance. The first child that ran earlier was talking to the Headmasters. Perfect timing. She just heard them mention her, too.

With a giant leap towards the castle entrance, she landed on all fours in between the two taller Headmasters. "Sup kid," she casually said to the one waiting near the three while rising to her feet. On closer inspection, it was clear that she seemed to be some sort of hybrid. Calling her a 'wild mongrel' was an understatement. The boy being the closest one to them - however, he was still keeping his distance, which was probably a good idea - had the best point of view on her. She was more beast than the other two Headmasters. Wolf ears that were blended in her hair were swerved towards the three children; the front of her mouth having no skin for cover as it was shaped like a snout; and had a fluffy tail happily wagging around as she stood on her hind legs, her hands curved downwards towards each other like a dog on its back legs. Despair had no shoes due to the fact that her bottom half seemed more animal, especially the extended dog feet blatantly showing.

However, the two Headmasters didn't care for her appearance. For all the students knew, they could be much worse than the little one, just more formally dressed for a first impression. They certainly didn't look human, but at least they looked more human than Despair.

"Now that Despair is here, we'll introduce ourselves now. We apologize for the little one attempting to chase you all to the school, but remember - there's much worse for you all that awaits both inside the school and within the forest. So, skipping to our names, our official names are The Trickster-"

"-and The Judge-"

"And we are the Headmasters that will be guiding you throughout the school. Do not be afraid of our current appearances because that is the least of your worries. Come inside. We'd like to check you all in so we know who we're dealing with. Trickster would wave a hand towards the door, barely touching it with her fingertips as it swung open, the gust of cold air coming through. Despair would ran inside, wobbling on her hind legs, and waited at the beginning of the hallway for the children to enter and follow her.

If you recommend a phobia that I can easily make multiple powers and a shift for, then I will add it to the list and allow you to read through the description before choosing it. Otherwise, you're supposed to pick it from the list that is given to you.

@Hazard Bits@PokimKyOshi@Blizz
My post has been delayed but will be posted later today. I apologize for not posting sooner.

Also, this being directed to everyone, but try to keep the post size around the minimum that has been given to you (seven lines), the max being about double that length.
If you have multiple characters that aren't interacting with each other, you have to meet the minimum for each section.
If they're all interacting with one another in a single post, the minimum is about twelve lines with a max of twenty-six lines.

Simplified

1 OC: 7-14 lines
2+ OCs: 7-14 lines per section
2+ OCs (Interacting w/ Each Other): 12-26 lines

I'm setting the lengths up now due to the large post size in the role-play that I don't want getting out of hand.
Extra Note: After posting, that's when you count the post length. Half a line of words doesn't count nor does a blank line that separates the paragraphs.

Could use some active people.

You could've just edited your post to put in the mention.
Since it doesn't notify us when you do that, mention us in an OOC post to tell us about it.
Everybody should be checking in the posts every once and a while anyway.

The little monster laughed to herself as she watched one of the children, a boy, run towards the castle's entrance. Just as planned. However, the girl behind him was still standing. She was trying to call for the other student but he was running away too fast. Ironic. The Headmaster usually sees the more masculine trying to assist the damsels in distress, but the boy was just giving up on the situation entirely. Hopefully the other two Headmasters would greet him though. He might be going on about her chasing them around but it's not like the pair would be surprised.

She would turn back to the other girl then heard another voice, a second male. He was behind the tree on the first half of the pathway, seeing him in the distance while the girl was on the other side of the tree. Oh, yup, that's great. Totally great, she sarcastically thought to herself while pouncing around the trees to be at the border created between the two students. So I have to make him climb over the tree and run with the girl now, don't I? They would let out a sigh then continue going further down the path, claws slowly extending for her "attack".

When the Headmaster got far enough in the trees behind the other student, she crouched down on another branch and waited for the remaining children to interact. Maybe talk about the tree between them, what's going on, try helping the boy over the tree... Whatever they were going to talk, she was going to let them do so before she tried to chase them down. Hopefully they don't try to attack her or she'll have to call the "others" for assistance.

As the boy ran towards the two Headmasters, the blonde shorter one nudged the taller one to get her attention. She only turned her head towards his direction while the suited Headmaster turned entirely. He blinked a few times in silence before repeated the boy's statement. "Wild mongrel?"

The grey-skinned one would lean down to the Headmaster and whisper, "He means Despair," before standing straight again. He would do a surprised expression of realization before looking back down to the boy.

"Oh, Despair! Right, right. She actually purposely got you here. I'm guessing you're the first with a few others still on the path if she's not- well, chasing after you. And there's much worse than her for you all to learn from," he would tell the boy.

The Headmaster crossed his arms and turned his body back towards the other one present. "Now, we're the Headmasters that will be assisting you around the school. We're only the two here at the moment. The one you called a 'wild mongrel' is the third, Despair, as I said before. We'll explain the rest of the details when she returns."

The wolf-like Headmaster grinned as she scaled a tree, watching from on the top of a branch in a crouched position. It was barely getting started, and the lone boy was already regretting his decisions. They had a lot prepared for him in the future, might as well hype him up now. However, one of her ears twitched to ear the low talk of another person, a girl this time. The Headmaster would shift her head towards their direction to see the student not far from behind the boy. Now they're coming over, eh? Geez people, learn to follow directions and go to the castle entrance, the beast thought while rolling her eyes.

She inspected her surroundings to see if she can use anything else to drive the children towards the school. The trees. Most of the trees in that area were decaying or were already partially destroyed, so that can help. The Headmaster would leap around the branches, putting force onto them so they crashed down on the ground, and went to a large tree that was already tipping over. It was before both of the kids and should do some more effect.

With a quick leap to all fours, the small Headmaster got next to the tree, facing out towards the path. She took a few steps back, curling her fingers slightly, then rammed into the tree with full force. It was easy to tip as it creaked, crashing onto the pathway behind the children. As it fell the Headmaster quickly got into a tree to stay hidden. With a few more leaps in the shadows she ended up in the same tree that she first climbed into, waiting to see what the pair would do.

Near the front of the path the two Headmasters could hear the tree crashing down, only groaning as they knew that their smaller helper was being insane as usual. No wonder she was dressed like she escaped an asylum.

If you're still interested in the role-play, we're waiting on you before we enter the castle.
