"Well I think I took out 2 students, but then accidentaly actually killed one teacher. She's the shadow following H'Tor around."

"But that's only because she was outside the protection of the wards. If she'd been protected like she should have been she'd still be alive...not really in any shape to teach any more though...."
After spending more time than he expected breaking down the pavilion and storing everything, Fei then moves on to his work study duties restocking the rest of the Materials and Supplies building. The late hours have a palpable result, unfortunately, as Fei wakes up late - and misses the 'sunrise'.
When he realizes the time, he quickly dresses and races out to the green near the cafeteria to perform his katas before the light gets any further past him. In his haste, he fails to remember the fact that breakfast is being served, and there are actually people awake now... (^.^)

"True, but the accident illustrates why I did not wish to participate. At least it was for a good cause", he says, as he playfuly elbows Ephebe.

Ephebe blushes and smiles. "Thanks, I think."
"Well, I guess it's time to get to class," she said reluctantly. "I can't say I'm really excited about Advanced PE this morning. Mom does weird stuff when she's nervous."
"Oh, sure, laugh," she said testily to Taron, "you missed the fireworks after you and Kam took off. Half the reason I came after you was self preservation," she teased.
"Do not tell me that," she said, morosely. "I have to join your class now that Jiminy is actually going to be showing up like he's supposed to....at least he will be once I drag him there myself..."
Aside from a particularly bad morning practice session in Mom's class it had been a surprisingly uneventful day. No one had tried to poison her at lunch, or otherwise kill her in any way at all. It made for a nice change. She was on her way to Mathmagics with 'Sima when she had to stifle a giggle at the sight of a totally bald werewolf stalking past. Unfortunately she didn't stifle it fast enough and Jeran saw. He growled and lashed out with his claws ripping the bottom out of her bookbag and kicking her stuff all over the hall. She went dashing after scattered papers, just barely retrieved her toe shoes from the drinking fountain before they got soaked and tried to keep the pile contained as she jumped up to retrieve her tights from where they were dangling off the top of a random locker. Jeran laughed and she gritted her teeth. If she were stronger she'd deck him for that. Instead she made several awkward attempts to scoop up her pile of books, papers, pencils, and ballet costume before she managed to get it all and stagger on her way to class.
Vakkler notices Ephebe picking up her things, and shakes his head. "Hard to believe she is what she is," he murmurs. "Aren't they supposed to be graceful?"
After a nice relaxing mathemagics class, she was feeling considerably better as she headed off to dance class. It was the only class she had all day where she didn't have any of her protectors with her, which was a bit risky, but she didn't doubt that they had arranged for someone to be watching her by crystal or mirror just to be safe. She happily warmed up with the rest of the class careful to match her movements to the others exactly. It had been four months since she had last danced. A fact that the always cranky dance instructor wasted no time in chewing her out for. She didn't mind. Madame Irena was always like that. It was reassuring. When Madame Irena asked her to demonstrate a series of steps she felt butterflies in her stomach, but then she took a deep breath and all of it faded away. For just a few moments it was just her and the dance.
It was a particularly poor performance for her and she definitely deserved to get whapped with Madame's cane, which she did several times. She definitely needed more practice.
By lunchtime Fieri was ready to pull her hair out. Trying to keep tabs on Jiminy was like trying to herd phoenix. Dumb birds. Dumb Jiminy who won't do what was best for him no matter what. She sent notes to the other members of 'Eldritch Jello' to see if they were available for practice later. She could definitely use the break.
One bald werewolf. Check. One declawed weretiger. Double check. One wererate with a bad case of hives. Check. One werewolf's room glued into reverse gravity position for taking out his anger on Pheebs. Check. All of that and he'd actually gone to class. Think of all the mischief he could have done if he'd been free to follow his usual schedule. He sighed. Fieri could be such a stick in the mud sometimes.
Aleister stands as impassive as a statue while students filter into the room. Aislin standing next to him preparing for class. "Today were going to teach you how to defend against an armed opponent when you are unarmed. First is you." He says as he points with Rinth at a large muscle bound human. "Oh and your opponent is my wife."
The student stupidly grins to himself thinking how easy this would be. So he rushes swinging his sword blindly only to find himself flying through the air to land painfully on his back with Aislin standing calmly hands positioned on top of the blades pommel point on the ground.
"Alright whose next?" He says simply.

Jiminy slouched in the back of the class grinning as he watched Bradley the Boldly Idiotic get trounced by a girl. Again. Today. He didn't volunteer though. He was only in this class cause Mom said he wasn't allowed to have free periods anymore due to the 'security risk' and this was the least heinous option available during this time slot.
Aleister watches as Bradley misses another strike and gets hit again by Aislin. "Come here." He says with a sigh. |He's fairly pathetic isn't he?| "You charge when you should wait you think your muscles will help you in a fight but your mind is your true weapon."
"Are you trying to say I'm an idiot! Your using your wife for this because you aren't able to fight aren't you?" Bradley the Boldly Idiotic says getting angry thinking he had just been insulted.
|I stand corrected he is not pathetic he is a complete moron.| Aleister stands still for a moment his face blank as he silently picks up a practice blade and settles into an easy stance leaving himself completely open to an attack. Which he stupidly takes only to have the blade caught by Aleister's hand. He then slams his own blade down on Bradley's collarbone there is a loud crack and the boy stands there stunned. His eyes refocus just in time to see Aleister's fist smash into the side of his face. "That is why you are fighting her and not me, because I have problems holding back."
|Impressive...though it would have been better if you'd killed him.|
*applauds slowly*
"Bradley usually makes it halfway through a class before someone knocks him out. First five minutes. Very impressive." He grinned impishly.
She really wished her idiot brother would stop charging in where angels fear to tread. Or at least that he weren't so very bad at it.[/i]
Kamenwati reads the notice carefully. How long had it been since he'd been outside of civilization and on his own, running from his past? A couple years, surely. He'd been so scared that he hadn't enjoyed the world he was traveling through, and he hadn't been outside the wards for fear of being tracked down.
"I hope nothing messes this up."
"Do they want us to leave weapons behind as well?" Asch asks at breakfast as he reads the bulletin.
"Do they want us to leave weapons behind as well?" Asch asks at breakfast as he reads the bulletin.
"Please tell me you're kidding. Seriously, dude, read the notice. It's a test of survival...they're not gonna hand all the unarmed combat specs a huge advantage like that. At least I hope not. That would be so uncool."

[Blink, Blink]
Reads the bulletin, and looks confused
"Isn't that how people normally live?"

"What, you mean like, without beds and spell components and cooking utensils and stuff? ...Oh,no! How are we gonna keep Jiminy, Ephebe, and Taron fed for a whole weekend with no cafeteria?????!!!"
"I hate camping..."
"I hope they like gruel..."
"I hope they like gruel..."
"I hate to ask, but....where are we getting gruel? Some kind of spell or something? I hope. Cause they get awful cranky when they're hungry..."
"Well it does say to not pack anything that's why I ask. Who knows what the teachers are planning" He says back to Jiminy. "Anyway even if they won't let us take anything I will still be armed." He says as a smoky blade slides out of his hand and then swirls away like smoke when he releases the energy.

A tiny fanged frog hops by. There's a little backpack strapped to its back.
"Well it does say to not pack anything that's why I ask. Who knows what the teachers are planning" He says back to Jiminy. "Anyway even if they won't let us take anything I will still be armed." He says as a smoky blade slides out of his hand and then swirls away like smoke when he releases the energy.
"Cool. Yeah, they'll probably put up a clarification by this afternoon. I bet a lot of kids are asking that same question."
"Personally, I never need to pack," he added with an impish grin.
"I hate to ask, but....where are we getting gruel? Some kind of spell or something? I hope. Cause they get awful cranky when they're hungry...""I hope they like gruel..."
Taron looks up from memorizing a survival cookbook long to contemplate how to roast a firebird, but discards the idea. Fly Free doesn't need the accusation of assassinating it's competition.
"I hate to ask, but....where are we getting gruel? Some kind of spell or something? I hope. Cause they get awful cranky when they're hungry...""I hope they like gruel..."
"Create food and Water!" he says cheerfully.
Nasima grins at Krays. "Yeah! Create water!" Her hair fans out behind her as she makes a twirling motion with her hand and a bunch of tiny little storm clouds begin to gather over the breakfast table. There is a tiny little boom of thunder and a small lightning bolt zaps out and chars the table. It begins to rain.
"Ack! Oops! Sorry guys! I'm new to this, this wasn't supposed to work this well. Just learning this stuff. Ugh. Hang on, hang on..." More twirling motions, some commands in Auran, and the storm goes away, to be replaced by a mass of tiny winds to dry everyone off. Nasima looks sheepishly around at her now-rumpled friends and appears ready to crawl under the table and die of embarrassment. "Oh skies and suns you guys I am sooooo sorrrrrrryyyy!"

"My muffin.....is soggy," Fei states in a somewhat disappointed tone as he turns around and heads back to the cafeteria line to get a dry one. (^-^)
Curiously enough, he is the only one who doesn't look 'rumpled' after the wind treatment.

Ephebe laughed.
"Oh, 'Sima, it's okay. Don't worry about it. It's just water...and a miniature storm? Honestly, that's pretty cool."
"So now that the crisis of feeding three portable holes is mostly solved, are we all going to be in a group or do you guys want to see if you can handle the camping trip in smaller numbers?"
"I'd say since there is still that one issue going on I'd say it would be best to keep together." Asch says as he lays his guns and caster on the table pondering over two guns or one gun and a caster. He then gets a mischievous grin deciding how he was going to bring both guns and his caster along with shells and not be breaking the rules.
"So now that the crisis of feeding three portable holes is mostly solved, are we all going to be in a group or do you guys want to see if you can handle the camping trip in smaller numbers?"
"I agree with Asch. One big group is probably safest. At least at night. But there's no reason we can't break into smaller groups during the day."
Once checked and found to have nothing more than a crossbow and bolts, Kam practically ran through the portal. Taron, shaking his head, follows him.
