School For Half Humans (REBOOT, IC)

[Nuridia]

Yulan looked at Seth. "Probably likely, Xingke loves Mira a lot, she cares about him but only as a brother." "He usually goes along with whatever makes her happy but if he sees chances he'll do anything to win her." Salma smiled at Eric. "Of course they liked you, you're an awesome person." "Who wouldn't like you?" Salma then turned her eyes to the table. "Marie, why are you wearing that scarf and it's eighty two degrees in here?" Marie turned as red as her hair. "Well..about that." she smiled discreetly at her husband. "Ask Raph, he can tell you why." Raphael turned red, smiled at his wife and looked down at his book. "Couldn't help it." he mumbled. Salma looked at the couple and then blushed. "Well...darn." "Vampire fetish much?" Salma said.

[New Cinoth]

"Oh lovely..... I'm not exactly the strongest of demons so hopefully nothing physical will happen." His mouth twitched slightly when Yulan spoke about Xingke wanting to do anything to win her over. Perhaps a friendly wager? He beats me He can go on a date...... I win and I get his soul.... But what if I do loose? I won't tolerate that..... He shook his head, "Mira does this guy really bother you? If he does I have a few things that could sort him out, some being nice, and others a bit more vicious. But if you want I can help him move on."

[Tomia]

Eric smiled and blushed slightly "Thanks, I hope it made a good impression." He laughed a little at Salma's question. "About every guy that was bigger than me at my old school." He joked, although it was true. John had gotten into more fights than Eric could remember to stop kids from messing with Eric. He turned his attention to Aurelia's parents when Salma started talking to them. Eric thought it was strange that Marie was wearing a scarf and smiled slightly embarrassed when Raphael told them why. When Salma turned back to him he laughed at her comment "Ya, I guess Raphael the archangel's a biter."

[Nuridia]

"What do you mean?" Mira asked. "I don't want anybody to get hurt because of me." Raphael heard Eric's comment and sat stiff in his chair, embarrassed. Aurelia half smiled and half grimaced. "Guys, gross." Raphael could hardly speak, so Marie took his hand to comfort him. "It's alright Raph." "You don't have to be embarrassed, mon cheri." The angel finally spoke up, quietly. "Well, in my defense your mother wasn't complaining." "I wasn't." Marie said in French." "There was no reason to, he gave me no reason." Marie hugged her husband and Aurelia was glad in that moment her mom wasn't speaking English.

French Words:

mon= my
cheri= darling, dearest

[New Cinoth]

"I meant I couldn't him on the right track to finding the person he is made for. Just because I'm a demon doesn't mean I just hurt people. I can be helpful." Seth sighed, "And besides quite a few people ask to find their true love, we can only give a vague picture, maybe the country if we are luck, the sad part is demons can't do it for themselves, but It's not like I need to." He lightly squeezed Mira's hand, "I have everything I need right here. And I want to help him find someone who will make him just as happy. Not to mention it will cut back any brewing trouble."

[Tomia]

Eric saw Raphael was embarrassed and have a small smile but felt bad. "I was just joking Raphael, I didn't mean to embarrass you. It's not that big a deal, we were just kidding around. I think it's great how much you two care about each other."
John smiled when he saw Aurelia's reaction and put his arm around her. He heard Marie say something that sounded like another language. He couldn't understand what she was saying but by Aurelia's reaction, he probably didn't want to.

[Nuridia]

Marie stood behind Raphael and wrapped her arms around his shoulders while he reached a hand up to grasp one of hers. "No need to apologize Eric." "I love this woman, we belong entirely to each other and I would die for her." Marie nodded. "Raph's the most precious thing in the world to me besides Aurelia, I would follow him into the deepest pits of Hell and die for him if I had to." "We did something a little unconventional before our wedding." Marie gently pulled off her wedding ring, revealing small symbols circling her finger normally covered by the silver band. "There it is. Raph's name in Hebrew, tattooed on my wedding ring finger." "So basically he's with me until I'm dead." "And beyond that." "He has my name in Hebrew on his finger too." Marie put her wedding ring back on and Raphael took off his ring, Hebrew letters circled around his index finger as well before he put his wedding band back on. Mira looked up at Seth. "You would really help him?" "It was always painful to watch Xingke be so sad, he's like a brother to me but I cannot lie to him and say I'm in love with him." "That would only make things worse."

[Inquilabstan]

Nodding his head, chuckling Abdul paused for a moment."Well, you are partially right in that sense. No, Seth is technically my master, what with me selling my soul and all. But in actual day to day functioning, you could say that I am his adjutant, or more appropriately, his Aide-de-camp, and minister of internal affairs. Falan too, is much like me, in that sense. But Seth is a benevolent master, for sure. Far better than Saddam was. I remember a time where I failed to capture an objective in Karbala, and I had to go through a chemical bath for an hour." Looking intently at the two, Abdul's head was leaning slightly to his right. "You will have to forgive me, but I've not heard of your dynasty before."

[Tomia]

Eric nodded to Raphael glad he wasn't upset. He hadn't meant anything by his comment and was glad he didn't take it seriously. Raphael had helped Eric a lot and he felt like he owed him.
John listened to Raphael and Marie's story and saw the tattoo on her finger. He was surprised when she said it was Raphael's name. When he thought about he actually thought it was a good idea. A show of devotion, having your spouses name tattooed on your body.

[New Cinoth]

Seth looked to the tattoos with interest, Hmmm... That's certainly an interesting idea. "Ot's a great way to show devotion to each other. Quite inspirational if you ask m." Seth nodded to Mira, "Of course I would. After all one more god deed won't make explode or something like that." He chuckled, "I'm sure I can get him to change his mind about things and maybe get him to leave you alone, if you wish. It might help prevent more problems in the future do we taken care."

[Nuridia]

Mira turned to Seth. "I'm open to ideas." Marie still held Raphael's hand, running her thumb across it while Raphael squeezed her hand tighter. "In addition to being a symbol of our bond, it's also protection." Raphael said. "I have Mimi's name marked on my ring finger as well, but I also make sure she's safe." "An angel's true name protects the bearer from all that angel's enemy demons." Aurelia turned to John. "Not many people know this, but as an angel Dad can change shape to whatever form he wants, human, plant, animal or inanimate, this is his true Earth form what he wears all the time." "In his full angel form, his aura's pretty strong, enough to knock most humans out so that's why he really doesn't go full angel around us all the time, notice the wings have been out away." "The only people not affected are the angel's children, their children's mates, their own mates or their children's children." Marie and Raphael smiled at each other. "We also have mating marks, when an angel takes a mate they're both marked to show that they're mated to each other, the marks are permanent and they discourage rivals from trying to move in." The redhead sat next to her husband and moved closer to him. "But I'm happy I'm bound to you forever, my love." "It's always been you and it always will be." she told Raphael, who smiled at her. "I merely chose to be mated to the person I love, that's all." "It's always only been you Mimi, I'll never seek another." "And neither will I." they promised with all seriousness. "I love you dearest." "And I you Mimi, now and forever." "Aww." Aurelia smiled at them. "This is so beautiful, I just love love."

[Tomia]

John nodded when Aurelia told him about her father. He was impressed with what Raphael was able to to do. "Wow, that's cool. That's a lot like Jupiter and the other Roman gods. They can take any shape they want on earth, though they usually take their favorite human appearances and take the shape of the their sacred animals. They don't show their true form on earth either. If mortals saw their true forms they can die. I've never seen my father's and I'm not sure I want to." As Aurelia told him about angels he had a lot of questions on his mind about how it worked with her as a half angel. Her and her parents had talked a lot about angels and their relationships and he wasn't sure if these things applied to half angels as well. He wanted to ask her questions about it but some of it seemed personal and he didn't feel comfortable with everyone else around. He watched Marie and Raphael and saw Aurelia's reaction. He smiled and found himself wondering if they would ever be like that as a couple.

[New Cinoth]

"Well there are a few ways we can do this. We could make him forget his infatuation, although that hurts like hell. We could find him a nice girl in Hell. We could also, if you really wanted to, send out a seeker. I have a few. They just might be able to find a girl he'll love.... Of course we'll have to instruct them to be gentle. They tend to get a little carried away." Seth chuckled as Raphael and Aurelia spoke about angels. Demons hard darker effects on others. Their presence would loosen people's morals and make them open to sin. Demons were like a moral poison that slowly spread through the veins of the area they inhabited. "By the way Mira, that amulet that I gave you, if you are ever in trouble I'll know. It's usually a blessing reserved for cult leaders, but I thought this was definitely more important." He glanced at Raphael, angles didn't normally like demons cults springing up because of their affinity for pleasing their master.

[Nuridia]

Mira turned to Seth, surprise and happiness on her face. He already cared about her enough to want to help her but they didn't even know each other that long. Raphael smiled. "Mimi can change shape with me if we connect our wills together, but it's always some form of whatever shape I take. They demonstrated, Raphael glowed softly and held Marie's hand, making her glow as well. A few minutes later, Raphael was a tall and large wolf-dog with slightly wavy black fur and piercing blue eyes, Marie was a slender and smaller poodle with very curly orange-red fur and emerald green eyes. Poodle Marie looked at Raphael, barking a bit and the angel in dog form licked her cheek. Aurelia giggled. "Of course Mom would be a poodle, most French dog you can turn into." Marie glared at her daughter, growling lowly and Aurelia got quiet real quick. "Only Mom can be scary while still being a cute fluffy dog at the same time."

[New Cinoth]

Seth raised an eyebrow, "What's with the look?"He thought for a moment. The snatcher would probably bring him the most happiness but the requirements to get one here are a little.... Troublesome to say the least. I'd need volunteers who are either corrupt or willing to be corrupted. Which those are probably in short supply right now. So the best bet would be to just give him a either memory treatment or a vague direction works and both will keep him busy but probably in different ways." I wonder how he'd react when he sees Mira isn't his true love....

[Tomia]

John watched as Raphael and Marie transformed into dogs. It was strange for him to see others do it for a change and he was impressed that Marie could change too. John was able to shape shift but he didn't have the ability to change the form of another person as well. John wish he did as that seemed like a cool power to him. Marie turned into a small poodle with red curly hair, certainly different than John's golden retriever. When Marie growled at Aurelia he was surprised and laughed a little at Aurelia's comment "Ya that's impressive, I know from experience that it's hard to stay intimidating when your a cute little dog. It's hard to be tough and cute and cuddly at the same time." John remembered when he turned into a puppy for Asteria. He had tried to keep his tough appearance but as Eric often reminded him it didn't work.

[Nuridia]

Asteria looked confused. "Mama, why's Grandpa a wolf-dog and Gramma a poodle?" "They're the dogs that reflect their personalities and appearance the most dear." Aurelia answered. "But, Grandpa's big enough to eat her now." "Honey, Grandpa would never do that to Grandma." Aurelia chuckled, ruffling Asteria's hair. In their dog forms, Raphael and Marie also wore silver and emerald collars around their necks. "That's their wedding rings in collar form." Aurelia explained. "Kinda like a doggy wedding ring." Marie was lying down and looked over at Aurelia. "It's okay mom, I accept your apology." Marie nodded and looked up at Raphael, who brought his face down to touch hers as Marie licked his nose. Yulan spoke up. "Sounds difficult, but I'm sure it can't be that bad." she said to Seth.

[Tomia]

John nodded to Aurelia looking at the collars on her parents' necks. He thought it was cool that heir wedding rings changed with their appearance. When he heard Asteria's comment he laughed "I wouldn't do that if I was him. Even in poodle form I wouldn't mess with your grandma." John watched Marie looking at Aurelia and smiled when Aurelia forgave her. He thought about joining her parents in dog form but he didn't want to leave Aurelia out so he stayed as a human. He turned to Aurelia "Your parents make a cute dog couple, it's cool that your mom can change with your dad. That would be a cool power to have."

[New Cinoth]

Seth sighed, "It's not getting a demon that's hard. If I was stronger I could pull them over myself. But since I can't I need a few people." He paused, "But the implications of doing such a thing somewhere. Usually doing such a thing makes the more heavenly alighted people mad." Seth chuckled, "So it might be a little hard to find some people here who are willing to debase themselves enough to bring forth a demon." He grinned, "But if you happen to know of around four people who are strange enough to help me out we can get your friend a lovely girlfriend and everyone can be happy."

[Nuridia]

Asteria went over and pet Marie,who nuzzled the little girl's face. "Grandma's so fluffy!" Aurelia chuckled. "I don't think she likes being called fluffy." Aurelia could've sworn she heard her father chuckle at that. Asteria then pet Raphael, who looked up at her. "Grandpa's not so fluffy, he's more silky." Aurelia definitely could've sworn she heard her mother chuckle. Raphael and Marie then turned back to their human forms.

[Tomia]

John chuckled when Asteria called Marie in her dog form fluffy. He imagined Aurelia's mom didn't like that too much. John heard a noise from Raphael, almost like he laughed. He knew from experience that it was impossible in animal form to make human like noises, he had tried but he definitely heard something from the pair of dogs. When the couple returned to their human form he smiled "That's really cool that you guys can turn into animals together. I wish I could transform others too."

[Nuridia]

Siobhan and Llyr listened to Abdul. "Well, seems like you had a pretty exciting life." the twins replied. When Marie and her husband turned back, Marie smiled. "Yeah, I think it's cool Raph and I can turn together." "But he's a huge wolf-dog and I'm a fluffy poodle, when we're in dog form he's way bigger than I am and sometimes I'm scared he'll eat me." she half-joked. Raphael kissed her. "You're such a cute little fluffball sometimes I want to." "John's right about us being a dog couple, you are so adorable in dog form." Marie laughed at her husband's joke but frowned slightly at being called fluffy. Aurelia smiled. "I can change shape too, but I don't do it as often." Aurelia turned into a dog with black fur and blue eyes like Raphael, but she looked like a cross between a wolf dog and poodle, with the curly coat, poodle face and small size but upright wolf ears and piercing wolf eyes. She looked like a blend of Marie's and Raphael's dog forms. "We can turn into cats and other animals too." Raphael said. Mira looked at Seth curiously. "Well, what is this process?" "How does it actually go?" she asked.

[Inquilabstan]

"Exciting, or unfortunate, all dependent upon the moment, actually. Serving a paranoid dictator with an unusually nasty cruel streak has its ups and downs. Still, plenty of unpleasant stuff that I have experienced, and done. But that is the life of a soldier eh? By Patton, it's the civvies of the bigger side that win wars. They don't die for their nation, ut let us poor bastards die for them. Such are the ways of the warrior. So tel me, have you two ever rode into battle, ever felt the rush of combat?"

[Nuridia]

Siobhan nodded. "Llyr's training to be in the royal army, as the first prince he's automatically the next commander in chief." "As the first princess, I can become the Grand Master Wizard, the most powerful sorcerer in our kingdom." "And about succession issues, normally the monarch chooses the successor or whoever married first would get the throne, but the latter is impossible now."

[Tomia]

John nodded to Marie, he thought it was cool that they could transform together. He was shocked when Aurelia said she could transform too. He watched as she transformed into a small dog with curly black fur. She looked like a cross between her father and mother. After she transformed John changed into his dog form as well, turning into a golden retriever with short blond fur and blue eyes. He stood next to Aurelia still surprised that she could change shape like he could. He nuzzled against her neck and licked her cheek playfully. He thought it was really cool that they could both transform. He felt more connected to her now knowing they had the same ability.
