School For Half Humans (REBOOT, IC)

[Tomia]

Eric felt nervous when Salma's dad asked Eric about himself. He didn't want to lie to his girlfriend's parents but he certainly couldn't tell them the truth. Not yet at least. He hadn't even told Salma his whole past yet. "I'm a pretty normal guy, I've lived most of my life in New York with my step family." He saw Salma's mom blow flames from her mouth and was amazed. He wondered if Salma could do that.

[Ancia]

A little girl pokes out behind the corner- but, she has fox ears, and a fox tail curled around her leg. She looks around, and gives a small yelp before ducking back behind the wall. "Ugh, they must be from that half-human school i`m going to Wednesday."

[Nuridia]

Falan shrugged. "I'm just gonna be myself." "And wear the right clothes." "I've worn a tux a few times, it's not that bad if you don't get the super tight monkey suit ones. They actually have some that look kinda cool." "You're not that girly looking, and the right duds should make girls stop and look at you like, "who's that guy, he looks like a cool dude." "I'm gonna talk to him, wait till my girls hear about this." In the Palace, Kalden shook his head. "That's good, a humble down to earth guy." "Wealth doesn't matter to us much." "Most foreign princes these days can be so stuck up, we much prefer a nice boy for our daughter." "Of course, Salma chooses who she wants and if she chose you and she's happy, then that's fine with us." Gisela nodded in agreement. "Alright, now that that's settled we have a party to plan." Salma's smile at their approval of Eric turned into a frown as her mother pulled out several notebooks and lists of different options for the party.

[New Cinoth]

Seth nodded, "Alright then. Hopefully that'll work, I just don't have much experience with nice clothing." He grinned, "Well, I guess it's all part of my genes. If I'm to corrupt things I can't look like just one gender or I might scare someone off. It's just awkward when people try to sell you things made for women and you aren't one, or if you are hanging with some friends and they ask which one is your boyfriend. It get's very annoying, but it proves that it's working well and both genders think I'm the other, at least some of the time." He looked past Falan to see Alex was still sleeping, "Should we wake him up? I wonder if he knows about the party......"

[Vakolic]

"Oh I'm not sleeping," Alex replied standing up.
"I'm just lying down for a bit. I was given a lot more mental energy by the Vakali high council for my transformation, and I want to let some disepate into a soft object so that I'm not harmful to be around, so I lay down.

I wasn't paying much attention though, what were you talking about?

[Tomia]

Eric felt very relieved when Salma's parents said they approved and gave a relaxed smile looking at Salma. Her parents seemed nice, Eric knew they didn't know the whole truth about him but still it was a good first step.
John had finally made it to Arberria but it wasn't easy. The snow obscured his vision and made it difficult to fly. When the capital came in sight John searched for the palace he saw in his mind. When he found it another image came into his thoughts. He saw Eric standing with Salma, Aurelia, and two people he didn't know. He fly to the ground and retuned to human form. He texted Eric Go to the window. John then became an eagle and flew to the room he saw in his mind. When he reached it he slammed into the window hard to get their attention.
Eric saw John's text message and was very confused. Then he saw a bird flying towards the window and his heart sank. When it connected with the window Eric turned to Salma with a look that said I'm really sorry.

[Mornovia]

"What felt real?? Who?" He pulled Alex into a hug, worried.

"The dream...the nightmare, all of it, the fire..." He hugged back Yu, he tried to continued to talk, he took a deep breath. "My father...he was in my dream. He said that he killed my mother..." His voice started to break up.

Yuta furrows his brows in worry, and grips him tighter, rubbing his back. "Should we go? Do you want to check to see if she's ok??"

[Nuridia]

Salma had taken a few pieces of the candy from her mother and was eating them when she saw an eagle slam into the east window. She gasped and ran to the window, afraid that the bird might've injured itself. But when she saw Eric's look, she knew right away it was John. "You best go and see what he wants." Salma told Eric. "He doesn't like me much, so I doubt he would fly all this way while it's snowing for no good reason, especially not to see me." "It'll be okay." She gave Eric a reassuring smile and walks over to the fireplace, sucked in a breath and breathed on the logs, getting the fire going and warming the room.

[New Cinoth]

"Oh.... Okay then." Seth nodded slowly, "Well, we were just talking about a party that's going to be going on. We were discussing strategies and other things like that." He patted the bed beside him, "Come on over... There's supposed to be lots of cute girls there, and Aurelia and Salma volunteered to help us find some." Seth grinned, "So what about you Alex? Are you dating anyone or are you going to try to find someone at the party? There's going to be an after party with demon rum." Seth seemed very excited about the party, "The only downside is we have to find suits."

[Tomia]

Eric nodded to Salma and walked over to the window not looking foward to speakin to his brother. He opened the window and John flew in and landed on the ground in human form. John got to his feet seeing Eric staring at him. "What no hello?" "What are doing here?" Eric asked defensively. John was freezing so he walked over to the fire to warm himself. He saw Salma but did not look at her. He waved to Aurelia and Asteria as he warmed his hands. Eric followed him still waiting for an answer. "I need your help." John said after a short silence. Eric almost laughed "Why should I help you." John looked at him with his stormy eyes. "Vulcan's hammer was stolen." Eric forgot his anger and was shocked he couldn't believe someone would steal one of the gods' weapons. "Do we know who stole it." "That's what the gods want us to find out." Eric turned his head "Well I'm not interested." John starte to get mad again "Listen Jupiter said you had to come or I wouldn't be here. Have your trips to the forest with your girlfriend made you forget what happens to those who refuse a quest from the gods?" Eric put his head down. He knew the god's were not kind to those who defied them. "Fine I'll help you, but I want Salma to come with us." Eric looked at Salma with pleading eyes. He hadn't even asked her if she would come and he knew she had things to do, but he really did not want to be alone with John at the moment.

[Vakolic]

"Sure I'll come," Alex told Seth.
"If you want, I can show you a good place to find suits. It's in new york. Do you need to see?"

[Nuridia]

Aurelia and Asteria waved back at John, but noticed he was different. Salma honestly didn't know what to do. Why did John hate her so much? She wanted to say no but she knew Eric needed her right now. She looked at her mother, who nodded. "It's okay dear, we can plan the party tomorrow." "Thanks Mom." Gisela noticed the way John rebuffed Salma and didn't like it one bit. She looked at the boy curiously, wondering what in the world he was thinking. Salma sighed and looked at Eric. "I'll go, if it means that much to you." The emperor asked a question. "Where exactly are you planning on going?" "I don't want my daughter to get hurt."

[New Cinoth]

"Salma's parents are hosting the party. It's supposed to be a really big event, with lots of important people, and more importantly their daughters." Seth chuckled, " Well, I wouldn't really know any good places to get suits. So I guess so, but how are the three of us going to get there." He turned to Falan, "You are coming, right? Your animal instincts will certainly be valuable.... Not to mention I'd feel safer if you came along. I've been to New York once before and there are lots of stray demons who hate the archdemons, so I'd rather not be killed."

[Tomia]

Eric took Salma's hand and looked her, his eyes beaming. I am really going to have to pay her back for this. he thought to himself. He squeezed her hand appreciatively and whispered "Thank You." John shook his head "No, Jupiter said you have to come, he didn't say anything about her." "Then I'm not going." Eric replied coldly. John sighed resigned "Fine, she came come." Eric turned to Salma's father and said "We're doing a favor John's father Jupiter. Something was stolen and we need to get it back. Nothing bad should happen. If anything does I'll protect her with my life, you have my word."

[Vakolic]

"You can fly right?" Alex asked Seth. "So can I. One of us will have to carry Falan...or leave a trail of doggy treats for him to follow."

[Nuridia]

Falan nodded. "Ha fucking ha Alex." He rolled his eyes. "Sure, I'll go." "New York's my town, I know its streets like the back of my hand." "But I have to get ready first, you know, presentation and all that shit." "But just one question." Falan thoughtfully scratched an ear with his foot. "Who's gonna pay for all this, I'm gonna bet there's a good chance we're all broke." In Aurelia's dorm, Raphael and Marie were waiting for her to get back. "I hope she's alright over there." "Oh calm down Raph, she's got friends with her. And besides, our girl can handle herself." "So, what are we supposed to do all this time?" "We can watch a movie." Marie smiled. "Anything but Texas Chainsaw, that was scary even for me." Raphael shuddered slightly.

In Arberria, Salma looked at Eric and nodded. Gisela thought. Doesn't this boy know it's rude to disrespect people in their own home? She and Kalden moved closer together. "We'll hold you to that." "She's a good girl, and really precious to a lot of people." "It's obvious you're precious to her too." The buxom fire jinn empress smiled. "Good luck, all of you." "And try not to kill each other, you can cut the tension in this room with a knife."

[Vakolic]

"We're not paying," Alex told Falan flatly. "We're taking what we want.

I'll have to go in human form after I've took the suit though, but I think I'll travel like this to the human shop for shock value."

[New Cinoth]

Seth grinned, "Of course I can fly. And I think I'll carry Falan, if we need to." He turned to Falan, "Alright, it's good to have you along!" He looked down at his own clothing and shrugged, This will do for now. "I will. Being an archdemon of Hell has it's perks. We get a bit of cash every month to spend just because we are archdemons, of course by a bit I mean quite a lot. It'd be best if there was a shop that catered to supernatural creatures, mostly because I have Hell's money. But there's also the fact that I can't really hide my wings.... My horns on the other hand," He shook his head and let his shoulder-length silver hair obscure his horns, "those are easier to hide." He grinned, "Or we could do Alex's way.... Either way's completely fine with me."

[Vakolic]

Alex opened the massive window and sat on the windowsill in human form.
He stretched, and the suit bunched up around certain parts of his body as he expanded, and he jumped out of the window.

"Are you coming?" he asked.

[New Cinoth]

Seth shrugged, "I guess so. Let's just try and not draw the cops, please. The NYPD has witch-hunters in their ranks and holy bullets don't heal well. I don't want to look shot up before the dance. It would be most inconvenient." He turned to Falan, "Well come on over. I should be able to carry you, as long as you don't weigh over two hundred and ten pounds. That's about my maximum lift." Seth's wings flapped twice in response. Oh, it's been a while since i have flown. It's going to feel nice flying again. This promises to be a good day.

[Tarnen]

"The dream...the nightmare, all of it, the fire..." He hugged back Yu, he tried to continued to talk, he took a deep breath. "My father...he was in my dream. He said that he killed my mother..." His voice started to break up.

Yuta furrows his brows in worry, and grips him tighter, rubbing his back. "Should we go? Do you want to check to see if she's ok??"

Alex cleared his throat a little "Yea, we should go do that, just to make sure."

[Tomia]

Eric nodded to Salma's parents and smiled grimly. He wasn't sure if he and John could go through this quest without killing each other. "I'll keep her safe. I would never let anything happen to her." "Now that that's settled can we go?" John said abrubtedly. "I want to get this over with." Eric looked at Salma "Are you ready to go?"

[Nuridia]

Salma nodded. "Sure." "Hopefully we find it soon, there's a lot to do around this place." In the school, Falan got ready to go with Seth and Alex. "The cops?" "Man, the cops suck." "And where the hell did they even get witch hunters from, I thought those guys hardly existed anymore." "What the hell are they actually anyway?"

[Vakolic]

"We need to go," Alex told Falan and Seth.
"Those cops won't think about attacking us. Be assured, they're only humans."

[New Cinoth]

Seth nodded, "Indeed. The cops are annoying, easily incinerated, but still annoying." He sighed, "There are witch hunters all over. You just wiped out one of the oldest branches, the ones that don't use much modern stuff. That's why they had a sword with them. The newer ones are very adapt at hunting demons, and the more gifts you accept from me the more their anti-demon magic will harm you. These people are not ones to be trifled with until we grow stronger." Seth grinned, "You know the inquisitions, right? Well, those were secretly headed by the witch hunters to eliminate demonic influence, and there are rumors there might be a new inquisition." Seth moved over to the window and held out his arms for Falan to grab onto. "Let's just say the witch hunters really want me dead because of my future occupation." He looked back at Alex, "They won't but the witch hunters will. They are much stronger than normal people."
