Academy of Heroes and Villains Rebooted (IC, OPEN)

[Stattr]

Seras Victoria
Seras was outside playing in the snow when she smelled something odd. She jumped up and did a few cartwheels and jumped into the air, above the school and to the front where she landed in front of this strange man and eyed him with her one red eye. She stood still, she was standing a top the snow, she wasn't a fan of wet boots. She smiled slightly, a fang showing. "Hello Sir." She said softly, her voice carrying over to him and bouncing around in his mind. Her British accent sounding bright and almost welcomingly.

The captain turned to see the girl with her piercing red eye stare him down as she smiled down from a top of the mound of snow. He noticed the fang along with the cheery British accent. He was never a fan of Brits, ever since he had to fight that stupid cult of demonic worshipers from the Isles not many years ago...let alone people of vampiric nature. He moved down his cloak to reveal more of his face, which he replied with a cheery smile of his own.

"Aye, little girl. Youre a sight for sore eyes, especially a dearg due." the man stated with his heavy Irish accent and with a sign of cheer in his voice. "I seem to have washed up on shore, and noticed the giant monolith of a building on the horizon."

Seras Victoria

"If you had washed up on shore, you'd have to break through the ice, as it is winter here on this lonesome island and you'd be more cold looking than you are." She winked and giggled. "not that i'm complaining. This is the Academy of Heroes and Villains, I am a hero. Please do come inside, it is chilly out here, even for me and the sun is about to shine through." She motioned to the moving clouds, sparks of sun starting to shimmer through the clouds. "We have tons of food if you are hungry... I still haven't finished my breakfast either..." She muttered the last part kind of sadly, as her blood packet was still in the cafeteria.

She muttered the last part kind of sadly, as her blood packet was still in the cafeteria.

The man looked up to the sky and saw the sunlight about to pierce through the clouds, as he listened to her analysis of his 'appearance' at the Academy. He listened to the girl talk about this island and the school that was here, which put a bit of a surprise on the man's visage.

"A school for heroes and villains? A dearg due hero? Well, thats two new things I have learned today lass. But I do agree that we must head inside for the benefit of the both of us." The man said with a chuckle as he gripped his fur cloak a bit tight as a cold wind came in from the south.

[Silverakia]

The former captain had managed to trek across the windy plains from his entry point on the steep cliff towards the school's main entrance. The grass behind him had turned brown and began to decay rapidly after the presence of the nether energy onto the natural plain. It made him a bit wary of how the nether could be a dangerous tool outside the realms of paradise and the divine. He continued onward though towards the school's grand entrance, its vanity and grandiose put a smirk across his face. Such a monument in the mid the treacherous ocean must hold some importance or power to the region he was in. One thing that shocked him was the lack of people around, even after the immense pressure of the nether entering the world. Not wanting to draw anymore attention to the outside, his next plan was to get inside this massive monument and see what its purpose was.

"I dont dare use the nether again to get inside, if there are mortals in side. The power may consume them, nor do I want to find out if this is true. Maybe I should try to see if there is another way." The man pondered quietly to himself in his heavy Irish accent, as he tried scouting the walls of this giant building to see if there was a way in.

Seras Victoria

Seras was outside playing in the snow when she smelled something odd. She jumped up and did a few cartwheels and jumped into the air, above the school and to the front where she landed in front of this strange man and eyed him with her one red eye. She stood still, she was standing a top the snow, she wasn't a fan of wet boots. She smiled slightly, a fang showing. "Hello Sir." She said softly, her voice carrying over to him and bouncing around in his mind. Her British accent sounding bright and almost welcomingly.

Felicia looked at Alucard's eyes, a little creeped out about how wide... and red... they were. She put herself back together.

Meanwhile, in the library, an annoyed Al looked at Pitch Black.

"Oy. Imaginary magical drug unicorn. Pay attention to me."

Alucard

Alucard smiled when she made eye contact and he entered her mind. He formed in his usual attire. He walked around, his foot steps echoing. "Oliver. Show yourself." sounding more of a request than a demand. Demons were nothing to mess around with or joke with unless they wished it. He continued to walk, the area around him blank, as he wanted it. Not wanting to interfere with Felicia's memories or mind.

Felicia felt a falling sensation, and landed with an oof! She looked around, and saw a blank white space.

“So... this is my mind? It’s boring-er than I thought. What if there was a blue sky, a grassy hill, and cake! Yay, caaake! That would be better. Thank god they took mercy. They would have made me want Kyuubis and sewers or whatever. That would be...”

Suddenly, the white background shifted to a grassy hill that smelled of flowers and cake. Fluffy soft white clouds covered the blue sky, and trees scattered the landscape.

“Amazing... wow!”

A pink haired man walked in the ‘scene’ and smiled. “Why hello there, Alucard... Good to see you here! Welcome to my home!”

Felicia protested. “Hey! Isn’t this my mind!”

Oliver answered her, seeming suspicously knowledgeable. “Technically, it was... but now we share it! Thanks for thinking this up! It was so... bland, and boring! You can’t bake too much with just demon bunnies, you know!”

Felicia blanched. “Demon... bunnies?”

“Yeah! They exist too, you know! People just don’t think of the little cuties too much. They’re so SWEET!”

A large kitchen knife was in his hands.

Eliza Vapore- Teacher

---

Again... I didn't do anything...

Eliza slumped against the wall as Alucard left for his office. Once again, despite all her pledges and promises, she had failed. As yet another crisis had occurred right in front of her, she had stood back and done nothing to protect those around her.

You could have done something, anything! Use some of your abilities, your years of work on Mentalics, anything! Useless, useless, useless! she berated herself internally. Am I fit to even be a teacher?

Numbly, she began to reorganize the cafeteria back into place. In her frenzy of furniture moving, she almost didn't notice the yellow crystal lying under a toppled chair. Even when she saw it, she almost casually dismissed it as something someone had dropped or left behind in the melee previously until she drew the connections.

Wait a moment... Did Felicia not mention something about finding a pink crystal before her rampage? Could this not be another one of those demonic artifacts?

Hesitantly, she lifted it off the ground to examine. While she had not possessed telekinetic powers when first joining the Academy, thanks to the additional resources and facilities here, Eliza had managed to coax her innate abilities out, albeit weakly. After all, was telepathy not a form of energy wave affecting the electrical frequencies of the brain? Could one not then train themselves to affect other frequencies and affect physical objects, or vice versa for a telekinetic to "learn" telepathy? This had been her focus of study for the past 20 years, and its fruition could be seen in the shard hovering shakily in front of her.

What are you?

Unyan Daimonia
Conqueror in Training

7:30 AM, December 23rd.

Coilin frowned and tapped his chin, glancing over at her side of the room for a moment before her diary started floating out from under her pillow towards them. He took it out of the air. "Is this your notebook?" he asked, holding it up. "And yes, I know I'm planning Christmas... You have a habit of mentioning it every five minutes when I'm around..."

Unyan quickly jumped up to grab the notebook like a jackrabbit. She had a smile racked up her face, the edges curling around with excitement. "I know you are planning, and I know you are probably fine..." she said, in affirmation, "But Its our big Christmas Date! I have good reason to be excited." She got up close to him, getting incessantly near his face. "I just want to bother you about it for fun." It was her time of Christmas glee, and as a couple, her excitement was coupled with a new frenzy of romantic inclinations and expected events: a Christmas date being the highlight.

She quickly ran from her room, now with a new vigor to her, and said a quick goodbye before leaving sight. She bolted out and moved with high speed to remeet Jen. She ran though the halls shouting, "Je-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-en!" through the hall in a blur that sounded like a soft sound from a bullet train. Her eyes scanned the room, while her feet moved fast enough to have Unyan disappear in a flurry.

"Oh hey Unyan. Certainly took quite a long trip didn't you? I hope you didn't make any detours on the way" Jen cooley says, dressed in warm clothing now "Well, at least you got back here quickly. So, if you've got everything we should get ready to go. I hope you said goodbye to your boyfriend, there's a chance we might not be coming back.... just joking of course. Anyway, the way to the unknown area is going to be through this entrance here. So yeah, I'm just going to go now since I'm sick of waiting and these clothes are uncomfortable. Alright then, to adventure!"

With that Jen opens the door, and a large gust of cold wind blows in which covers her with snow. Quickly shaking it off, Jen trudges off into the white storm, heading North to the unknown regions of the island.

Seras Victoria

"If you had washed up on shore, you'd have to break through the ice, as it is winter here on this lonesome island and you'd be more cold looking than you are." She winked and giggled.

Seras Victoria

Seras nodded and was soon standing at the door, waiting for the mysterious Captain to come inside. "I do kill my own kind, don't get me wrong, we, as vampires, do have a code. except for my master... he doesn't seen to have one... it's odd." She stared for a little before looking back at the captain. Despite what she was wearing, a short skirt, boots and long thigh-high pale stockings, she was relatively warm. She still didn't like staying outside in the cold too long, it bothered her and made her more thirsty honestly.

---

Alucard

Alucard sighed, "Lets see who he really is my dear. Hold still Felicia." He went over to her, knelt down to her height and removed his sunglasses, his red eyes bright and shinning, very deadly and very lovely at the same time. "Look at my eyes Felicia." His voice coaxing and smooth, a soft whisper through the air to her. He waited patiently.

Alucard chuckled. "it certainly will be. I stopped working for the government a few decades ago. All they cared about was keeping me locked up like Hellboy was and having us chase after children in costumes. it was quite embarrassing when you take your gun to there head and shoot, and all you get is blood and nothing else from this co called 'villain'. I also brought Seras with me as well, she didn't like being confined either." he kept his eyes on Felicia.

---

Zaphina

Zaphina blushed slightly at his words, "We do need to catch up. I'm sorry if I'm not fawning over you like every other girl would be. I don't take looks into consideration." She stuck her tongue out at him and giggled. "Hot chocolate sounds nice. To the cafeteria?" She looked at him side ways, anxiously waiting for him to say yes so she could get a head start on him. She loved to race other guys.

Johann
"Sure. Though I know the mischief in those eyes of yours, you have something up your sleeve." Johann said, quickly stepping in front over before breaking into a sprint. "But loser has to buy for the winner."

Zaphina moore

Zaphina smiled even more as he had recognized her look and once he took off she followed "And he who wins has to kiss the other!" She yelled after him, keeping close in to to him, despite her appearance and physical condition, she could run just as fast as any guy she met. She did, purposefully, stay behind him, due to the fact, she wanted him to kiss her only because he would win. She thought it would be funny. She rounded a corner sharply and was right next to him. She laughed.

Alucard Helsing- Teacher
Mr. Johannes, please forgive me for not responding, but i need you to do me a favor. Go and get that girl who fell on top of the student a few moments ago. I will need her help in a little, rather if I ever need it. He spoke to his Co-worker in his mind, using telepathy and went back to focusing on Felicia and Oliver.

A large kitchen knife was in his hands.

Alucard Helsing- Teacher

Alucard was aware of his surroundings in his physical form, even though he sat perfectly still, his knees bent as he was eye to eye with Felicia, keeping her gaze with his. He entered her mind, landing on his feet he looked at Felicia, as she wandered around in her own mind and made a 'scene' he remained serious and un-smiling. He stopped walking when another person appeared, one he had seen too many times and remembered there were other crystals laying about the school, he hoped no one had picked them up already.

"Oliver. This is not your home. This is Felicia's mind. You do not belong here, I do not wish to have to drag you out like I've had to do multiple times with other people. minds are fragile as you well know. Please leave and maybe we can work something out to have you, or make you, your own body." Negotiating was never his thing as the opponent never liked it and always tended to be violent towards him. He kept his hands at his side. He did not want to use his guns in Felicia's mind, as he might hit a memory and ruin it. Hand to hand was the best option here, Oliver having a knife, was not his concern.

Johann
"Sure. Though I know the mischief in those eyes of yours, you have something up your sleeve." Johann said, quickly stepping in front over before breaking into a sprint. "But loser has to buy for the winner."

Zaphina moore

Zaphina smiled even more as he had recognized her look and once he took off she followed "And he who wins has to kiss the other!"

Mr. Johannes, please forgive me for not responding, but i need you to do me a favor. Go and get that girl who fell on top of the student a few moments ago. I will need her help in a little, rather if I ever need it. He spoke to his Co-worker in his mind, using telepathy and went back to focusing on Felicia and Oliver.

Johann
Johann knew the game she Zaphina was playing and decided to play along. His ultimate goal was to win her over, but for now he decided it would be just as fun to play along. "Getting tired?" He called back, trying to coax her to take the lead. "Because I thought this would be more of a challenge." Johann knew this game all too well, he'd done it before, countless times with his other lovers, and he hoped that this time would be different.

Johannes
"Right fucking hell." Johannes thought, wincing in discomfort Alucard's psychic message came pouring through. "I am going to ask you to never do that again, any time someone tries to get in contact with me via telepathy, it feels like someone is pounding a spike into my brain." He said, recovering from the unpleasant experience. "But yeah, I'll go grab her, though I have no fucking idea where the hell she went." He exited Alucard's office before heading towards the Cafeteria on a hunch.

[The Flutterlands]

Al stared. "Okay, I have a magical evil drug unicorn. My luck is motherfucking fantastic. And no... crushing me with your hooves, or using your drug magic would probably not work.

Pitch Black

Pitch Black gave Al an innocent look. "Evil? No I'm not evil." he spoke with a grin and a crackle, "Good and evil are such pointless terms of society like hero and villain. One person's hero is another's villain. So what's the point of such idotic terms? No. I'm not evil. I'm just ahead of the curve knowing that the only things that matter are darkness, chaos, vengeance ane power to be gained no matter the cost."

Pitch Black made that toothy grin again as he got close to the crystal. "So strength and magic won't work on you, hmmm?" he spoke curiously, not quite believing him, "You gave that girl, Felicia, great powers, didn't you crystal? I want that power too. How about we be friends? Name's Pitch Black, unicorn wizard from the Planet of Equestria."

[Romakivila]

Cesar

Cesar was buried in his book as Bounty approached him. "It's Christmas already? Fuck, I have a lot of shit to do now." However Cesar would smile looking up from his book, and recognizing the face that saved his life. "Oh, hi Bounty, I didn't recognize your voice." He chuckled, and put a mark in his book before closing it. "I think oranges can help with colds though. Or something like that, I don't know I never lived where it snowed, or you got sniffles. Just shits, or uh, whatever the technical term is."

Bounty Hunt

Bounty smiled weakly. It has been two months since the kidnapping incident and he has become close friends with Cesar ever since. "Well, I've been drinking orange juice and eating soup these past few days." the brown unicorn spoke smoothly, with a sneeze and a chuckle, "As for weather, my kind, particularly the pegasi, have been regulating my planet's weather for millenia. They move the clouds, which they make in weather factories, and make it rain, snow, sleet, and hail where and when it's needed. Really it makes wonder how you live with weather moving on it's own."

Bounty Hunt then glanced upon hearing Pitch Black and turned his head entirely only to see a bright green flash of his teleportation. "Now what got Pitch into a laugh this time?" he asked curiously, before catching yet another sneeze with a tissue, "Anyway, really looking forward for the holiday. I actually got something for Pitch Black. I'll give it to him on Hearth's Warmming Day, which falls on the same day as your Christmas holiday."

---

Cesar

"Well I guess you have to respect human adaptivness, but then again why adapt when you can just change everything to your will. Then again, that sort of takes the fun out of life does it not? A life without challenge or strife, or sin to overcome. I feel such an existence would be dull and drab, but I suppose I disagree with most people. I mean, I would have liked that weather for Rio, but we can't even control the amount of shit we put in the water let alone the weather. But yes, the holidays will be fun, but Pitch, isn't he a bit of a, sadist?"

He exited Alucard's office before heading towards the Cafeteria on a hunch.

Zaphina Moore- Student

Zaphina stuck her tongue out at him, they were getting to the last hallway, she smiled. "Ha, tired is an understatement." She ran faster, grabbed his shoulders lightly and jumped over him like a hurdle even though he was taller then her. She flipped over him and landed in front of him a good distance away and took off again, she rounded the corner sharply again, her trick was grabbing the edge and using only one foot to turn the corner, she was already halfway down the final hall and the cafeteria was the end.

[Patrick OConner]

Patrick and Jesse quickly jogged back to their room and started gathering demon killing gesr. Among them was the massive 15mm sniper cannon mighty milly and specail holy bullets for it. Just in case they needed to kill a demon pissed tank for some reason.
"Do not forget the holy blessed c4" Patrick reminds his partner in crime.
"I wouldnt" responds Jesse.
"Great" Replies Patrick as he sling the mighty milly over his shoulder and collects several magazines of specail ammo.
Both of exit the room and the building to search for Felicia only to run into Seras with an unknown and unsavory looking fellow.
"Pot and kettle" mumbles Jesse
Patrick just hugs seras.
"Hey there my little,blood sucker. Who your friend that looks like he just rose,out of the ocean?"

She still didn't like staying outside in the cold too long, it bothered her and made her more thirsty honestly.

"I have had some terrible experiences with dearg due, especially in England. Its why it surprises me to see one claim to be a hero and have a moral code to follow suite," the captain said with some recollection of his past expeditions across the seas. He began to walk towards the main door to join with Seras in order to escape the cold and enter the building. He noticed her attire and how the weather is outside, which put a smirk to his face. "So I take it that those who are dead, do not feel the cold much do they?" the captain said with a questioning look. He, himself, is not of the mortal plain, but wears the heavy cloaks of his people not out of the weather but out of tradition and pride.

Unyan Daimonia
Conqueror in Training

7:30 AM, December 23rd.

Unyan quickly jumped up to grab the notebook like a jackrabbit. She had a smile racked up her face, the edges curling around with excitement. "I know you are planning, and I know you are probably fine..." she said, in affirmation, "But Its our big Christmas Date! I have good reason to be excited." She got up close to him, getting incessantly near his face. "I just want to bother you about it for fun."

She ran though the halls shouting, "Je-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-en!" through the hall in a blur that sounded like a soft sound from a bullet train. Her eyes scanned the room, while her feet moved fast enough to have Unyan disappear in a flurry.

"Oh hey Unyan. Certainly took quite a long trip didn't you? I hope you didn't make any detours on the way" Jen cooley says, dressed in warm clothing now "Well, at least you got back here quickly.

Anyway, the way to the unknown area is going to be through this entrance here. So yeah, I'm just going to go now since I'm sick of waiting and these clothes are uncomfortable. Alright then, to adventure!"

With that Jen opens the door, and a large gust of cold wind blows in which covers her with snow. Quickly shaking it off, Jen trudges off into the white storm, heading North to the unknown regions of the island.

"I did get to see him!" Unyan said as she slowed down her walk to meet Jen's, "'Lin is still as weird and quirky and confident as always! Helped me find my notebook." She looked as he opened the way to the entrance to the journey. A wave of cold air chilled the bones, but Unyan's blood was still pumping. She moved her hands to her face, rubbing them together and blowing heavily into them. The air was heavy as it moved from her face as a puff of smoke. The snow creased into footprints, leaving a pathway from start to finish. She was excited, not every day you go on an adventure! She had her baton and great-sword with her, all you needed for a monster-bashing good time.

She followed Jen, right next to her.

As time continued, she felt she needed to say something to break the ice and fill the void, "so... why do you not like Coilin? You always seem a little apprehensive around him. I am fine if you are, but you are my best friend, and he is my boyfriend. I'd love if you guys got along." she fumbled a little as she walked, not seeing a little rock behind a blanket of white. The blanket was not a warm or soft blanket, but it was one that warmed Unyan's heart as she loved the season. "not too close, of course," she said jokingly, "but close enough to enjoy being with me at the same time."

Alucard was aware of his surroundings in his physical form, even though he sat perfectly still, his knees bent as he was eye to eye with Felicia, keeping her gaze with his.

He kept his hands at his side. He did not want to use his guns in Felicia's mind, as he might hit a memory and ruin it. Hand to hand was the best option here, Oliver having a knife, was not his concern.

"Hehehe! It's my home, now! There's no where else for me to go, and besides, I can bake here! Her mind's strong enough for me, apparently, as she hasn't exploded or died in a freak accident on a roller coaster yet."

Felicia blanched, turning pale.

"...Explode or die on a roller coaster...? Uh... um..."

Meanwhile, with Pitch and Al...

"Mm... so maybe you aren't an evil drug unicorn. You're just a drug unicorn. The name's Al. Your name?"

[The Flutterlands]

Meanwhile, with Pitch and Al...

"Mm... so maybe you aren't an evil drug unicorn. You're just a drug unicorn. The name's Al. Your name?"

Pitch Black

Pitch Black blinked and raised an eyebrow in confusion as he backed his face away from the crystal. "Are you deaf?! I just told you my name." he spoke with some annoyance, "I'll say it again a second time: my name's Pitch Black and I'm from the planet of Equestria. Also I don't know why you're calling me a fucking 'drug unicorn', I may smoke and have done marijuana more than once but I don't consider myself a dealer or anything. Though it would be a good way to make profit on this world."

Pitch Black chuckled. "Anyway, nice to meet you Al. Now where was I?" he asked before grinning, "Ah yes, power and friendship. You gave a girl fantastic power earlier and I want that power. Do you think we can be friends? On my world, it is said that 'friendship is magic' and magic is power."

Cesar

"Well I guess you have to respect human adaptivness, but then again why adapt when you can just change everything to your will. Then again, that sort of takes the fun out of life does it not? A life without challenge or strife, or sin to overcome. I feel such an existence would be dull and drab, but I suppose I disagree with most people. I mean, I would have liked that weather for Rio, but we can't even control the amount of shit we put in the water let alone the weather. But yes, the holidays will be fun, but Pitch, isn't he a bit of a, sadist?"

Bounty Hunt

Bounty smiled before looking away to sneeze again in a tissue. "Ugh... I can't control the weather. Only pegasi can. Only they have 'magic' to do it with their wings and all." he spoke looking back at Cesar with a weak yet usual relaxed smile, "Nonetheless, controlling the weather is very good for crops and making sure that we have nice weather for outdoor events as well as making sure the seaons come on time. However, I do see your point."

Bounty then frowned somewhat at Cesar's question about Pitch Black and he sighed sadly with a tear falling from his face. The brown unicorn sneezed into a tissue before giving Cesar a very sad look. "Pitch Black was my friend before he turned to evil, remember?" he said in a serious tone of voice, "More than that, we were lovers. I still remember the day when we shared our first kiss. We were twelve at the time. Young, but truly in love. Friendship is something highly valued on my world and I just can't throw that away with Pitch Black."

"I know what he is and all the terrible things he has done, but no matter what he does, I'll always treat him like a friend. I may reprimand him and punish him for his wicked deeds but I'll always treat him like a friend and try everything in my power to bring him back to the light. And nopony should ever be left out of the celebration of Hearth's Warming."

[Stattr]

Alucard

Alucard sighed and drew his guns out, pointing both at Oliver, "Come on now Oliver, I'm sure we can find someplace else for you to stay. She is my student and i don't know if she is okay with you 'living' in her head forcing her to make blood and skin cupcakes. Because i certainly wouldn't be okay with it." He was stern and about to loose his patience, having delt with this one before and the others, makes him wonder how on earth they even got into the crystals and then managed to pick up people. It even bothered him that people, humans, picked up shiny things and objects. he didn't understand it and never wanted to.

Seras Victoria

Seras giggled, "Mostly, some to retain the thing called 'feeling' of the weather and the climate, but we are dead, meaning skin cells and the like." She skipped next to him and when she saw Patrick she made a '=O' face and purrs when he hugs her. "This is The Mysterious Sea Captain. I'm taking him inside of the school, what are you about to do with Jesse?" She continues to purr being next to Patrick.

[New Antonalia]

Johann
Johann knew the game she Zaphina was playing and decided to play along. His ultimate goal was to win her over, but for now he decided it would be just as fun to play along. "Getting tired?" He called back, trying to coax her to take the lead. "Because I thought this would be more of a challenge." Johann knew this game all too well, he'd done it before, countless times with his other lovers, and he hoped that this time would be different.

Johannes
"Right fucking hell." Johannes thought, wincing in discomfort Alucard's psychic message came pouring through. "I am going to ask you to never do that again, any time someone tries to get in contact with me via telepathy, it feels like someone is pounding a spike into my brain." He said, recovering from the unpleasant experience. "But yeah, I'll go grab her, though I have no fucking idea where the hell she went." He exited Alucard's office before heading towards the Cafeteria on a hunch.

Zaphina Moore- Student

Zaphina stuck her tongue out at him, they were getting to the last hallway, she smiled. "Ha, tired is an understatement." She ran faster, grabbed his shoulders lightly and jumped over him like a hurdle even though he was taller then her. She flipped over him and landed in front of him a good distance away and took off again, she rounded the corner sharply again, her trick was grabbing the edge and using only one foot to turn the corner, she was already halfway down the final hall and the cafeteria was the end.

Johann
Johann merely smiled as Zaphina disappeared around the corner. He began to chuckle as his own pace began to pick up and soon, he was within grasping distance of Zaphina as the cafeteria came closer and closer. He summoned forth a little more energy and caught up to her right as both of them reached the Cafeteria. "So, it's a tie." Johann said slightly winded from the race. "Who buys the hot chocolate and who gets the kiss?" Either way, it's a treat for the both of us. He thought, slightly blushing at the idea.

[Silverakia]

Pitch Black blinked and raised an eyebrow in confusion as he backed his face away from the crystal. "Are you deaf?! I just told you my name." he spoke with some annoyance, "I'll say it again a second time: my name's Pitch Black and I'm from the planet of Equestria. Also I don't know why you're calling me a fucking 'drug unicorn', I may smoke and have done marijuana more than once but I don't consider myself a dealer or anything. Though it would be a good way to make profit on this world."

Pitch Black chuckled. "Anyway, nice to meet you Al. Now where was I?" he asked before grinning, "Ah yes, power and friendship. You gave a girl fantastic power earlier and I want that power. Do you think we can be friends? On my world, it is said that 'friendship is magic' and magic is power."

Al mentally shrugged, as he couldn't actually shrug. "Friends? Eh. Power? Maybe. But you'll always be a drug unicorn for me... And being a drug dealer m'self, I can tell you that that is a great way to get m'self some quick cash. And... aren't unicorns supposed to be white and have weird hair and be on that planet filled with weird fuckery?" The glint of a face was shown on the red crystal, but briefly disappeared. The crystal glowed a bit. "Alright, here's your goddamn power. Now get me some sandwiches from the goddamn kitchen around here, I never got to eat anything other than freaky cupcakes." Pitch Black now suddenly had the urge to comply, and started walking slowly.

(Flutterlands, I only get to do minor actions and urge Pitch Black to do things. Remember that...)

Alucard sighed and drew his guns out, pointing both at Oliver, "Come on now Oliver, I'm sure we can find someplace else for you to stay. She is my student and i don't know if she is okay with you 'living' in her head forcing her to make blood and skin cupcakes. Because i certainly wouldn't be okay with it." He was stern and about to loose his patience, having delt with this one before and the others, makes him wonder how on earth they even got into the crystals and then managed to pick up people. It even bothered him that people, humans, picked up shiny things and objects. he didn't understand it and never wanted to.

Oliver drew out a strange piece of paper with black markings on it. It glowed pale blue, and grey smoke came off of it. He drew more knives as well. "Nah, poppet. It's better in here, and every other home just seems to explode into pieces or die on a roller coaster. That's not ideal for me."

Again... I didn't do anything...

Eliza slumped against the wall as Alucard left for his office. Once again, despite all her pledges and promises, she had failed. As yet another crisis had occurred right in front of her, she had stood back and done nothing to protect those around her.

You could have done something, anything! Use some of your abilities, your years of work on Mentalics, anything! Useless, useless, useless! she berated herself internally. Am I fit to even be a teacher?

Numbly, she began to reorganize the cafeteria back into place. In her frenzy of furniture moving, she almost didn't notice the yellow crystal lying under a toppled chair. Even when she saw it, she almost casually dismissed it as something someone had dropped or left behind in the melee previously until she drew the connections.

Wait a moment... Did Felicia not mention something about finding a pink crystal before her rampage? Could this not be another one of those demonic artifacts?

Hesitantly, she lifted it off the ground to examine. While she had not possessed telekinetic powers when first joining the Academy, thanks to the additional resources and facilities here, Eliza had managed to coax her innate abilities out, albeit weakly. After all, was telepathy not a form of energy wave affecting the electrical frequencies of the brain? Could one not then train themselves to affect other frequencies and affect physical objects, or vice versa for a telekinetic to "learn" telepathy? This had been her focus of study for the past 20 years, and its fruition could be seen in the shard hovering shakily in front of her.

What are you?

Milly stared back. "Human nerd. Stop staring at me."

[Taigawa]

"With heart, tribal. I know your type of cultures have many stories."

"Alright, alright..." Sani said, smiling at her. He separated from her a bit and assumed a real thinking position, a hand under his chin as he lay next to his mate with an arm around her. Then, he smiled a true smile, and turned to her again. "I have a story. A good story... It's the story of how shamans came to be in the tribe... especially my line. This is the story of the first of my ancestors."

He took a deep breath and began.

A long time ago, back when the deer ran wild in the plains, and the crows flew in mighty flocks unafraid, and the gods walked among their people, and many Anaye still lived, the Navajo people were spread across the world like seeds on a wind. We had many tribes, many names, many people. This is a story, a tale, of the Tolchini clan, who resided near the Wind Mountains, and one of their youths. This is the the story of the Boy Who Became A God.

The youth lived with his brothers near the Wind Mountains. The youth loved the wild, loved being alone, and would often take extended visits to the wild for weeks on end. Each time he returned, he would return with some form of gift and a story to tell. The first, a pine bough, and the story of far away tribes and other languages. The second, a piece of maize and a story of a crow and a deer, two friends on a long journey from their home near a place called Cahokia. The brothers thought the youth crazy, and would tell him this easily. The youth, though, continued his trips, ignoring the heckling of his brothers.

The Tolchini soon left the Wind Mountains, moving a rocky step near the San Mateo mountain. The tribe had nothing to eat but the grass seed they scavenged from the ground. It was a pitiful existence, so the eldest brother came up with an idea. "Let us go hunting!" he proposed, and so they did, but the other brothers told the youngest, the wanderer, to stay at camp. The youth, ever faithful and loving, stood for five days and nights, waiting for his brothers to return, but in that time he received no word from them. So, on the sixth day, he set out and tried to follow them.

After a day's travel, the youth camped in a canyon, in a cave specifically. There was snow near, but no water, so the youth started a fire and dug a hole. Next he heated a rock in the fire, set the hot rock in the hole, and melted snow with it. As the water melted enough for him to drink, the youth heard a tumult overhead, like people crossing over, so he moved out to see what it was. The canyon was the home of the crow, and here the crow were, along with many other feathered people, like the chaparral cock. The feathered people made many fires on the edges of the canyon, lighting up the dark night. Two crows flew down near the youth then, and he hid and listened to find out what the matter was, and why there was so much noise coming from the crows.

The two crows cried out, "Somebody says. Somebody says."

The youth did not know what this meant.

Another crow, from the other side of the canyon, cried out, "What is the matter!? Tell us! Tell us! What is wrong!?"

The first two called out, "Two of us were killed! We met two of our men who told us!"

Then they told the other crows of how they saw two men who were out hunting and killed twelve deer, and how a party of Crow People left to investigate one of the corpses. "Two of us were shot when they went for the blood of the deer." the first two crows explained.

The crows on the other side of the canyon asked, "Which men were killed?"

"The chaparral cock, who sat on the horn, and the crow who landed on the backbone." the crows explained.

The crows on the other side did not seem particularly upset. "We are not surprised they were killed." they said. "It is what we keep telling you. If you go after dead deer, expect to be killed."

"We will not think of them more. They are dead and gone, and we talk of useless things that are long ago." the original two replied, before leaving and returning to their side of the canyon. The youth stayed under the cave and listened to the entire thing.

After a while, the crows on both sides of the canyon made a racket, and started to dance, singing on and on and on forever, with shrill voices as they do. The boy could not sleep, but he did not want to sleep. He heard every word of every song, and remembered each as if they were the last words he would ever hear. He recognized the voice of Hasjelti, a god of the Navajo, and focused even more on the words. After the dance, a great bonfire was created, around which the Crow People flew and worshiped, dancing and singing with an even greater ferocity.

The youth did not sleep that night. In the daylight, the crows left, and all that remained was the boy and the remains of the fires. The youth left to return home that day, filled to the brim with the language of the birds.

It was at this point that Sani yawned a but a hand over his mouth. "Neytiri... I'm kinda tired... maybe we should stop there for tonight?" he said, smiling at her, and then wrapping his arms around her. "Maybe pick up were we left off on the ground earlier?"

She had by now all but fell asleep. "Yes...tomorrow. I'm tired."

"Well it should be. Provided my ship does'nt get wreaked again. For now though I'll enjoy this little distraction from the weather outside."

Filia est Umbra

Filia nodded. "I-i hope t-that your s-ship doesn't g-get wrecked." she spoke softly, "I-i would h-hate to l-lose you p-permanently if y-you don't s-survive another w-wreckage."

Filia then smiled upon an idea. "S-say, Makayla, w-would you l-like to g-go to W-wonderland before y-you leave? J-just for a w-while. T-that is i-if it's o-okay with M-matthew. I-is it o-okay M-matthew?"

"What is that place?"

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

"Alright, alright..." Sani said, smiling at her. He separated from her a bit and assumed a real thinking position, a hand under his chin as he lay next to his mate with an arm around her. Then, he smiled a true smile, and turned to her again. "I have a story. A good story... It's the story of how shamans came to be in the tribe... especially my line.

"What is that place?"

Sani 'Ghost' Nabahe

"Alright then, beautiful..." Sani whispered lightly, kissing Neytiri gently on the lips before nuzzling his head into her shoulder again and falling asleep with her cradled in his arms.

Mathew 'Mad' Hatter

Mad frowned at that, tapping his nose reflectively with a tea cup while humming a light tune to himself. "What is Wonderland?" he asked himself, tilting his head and setting down the tea cup before smiling. "Quite simply... it's a land full of wonder."

[Romakivila]

"Well I guess you have to respect human adaptivness, but then again why adapt when you can just change everything to your will. Then again, that sort of takes the fun out of life does it not?

I mean, I would have liked that weather for Rio, but we can't even control the amount of shit we put in the water let alone the weather. But yes, the holidays will be fun, but Pitch, isn't he a bit of a, sadist?"

Bounty Hunt

Bounty smiled before looking away to sneeze again in a tissue. "Ugh... I can't control the weather. Only pegasi can. Only they have 'magic' to do it with their wings and all." he spoke looking back at Cesar with a weak yet usual relaxed smile, "Nonetheless, controlling the weather is very good for crops and making sure that we have nice weather for outdoor events as well as making sure the seaons come on time. However, I do see your point."

Bounty then frowned somewhat at Cesar's question about Pitch Black and he sighed sadly with a tear falling from his face. The brown unicorn sneezed into a tissue before giving Cesar a very sad look. "Pitch Black was my friend before he turned to evil, remember?" he said in a serious tone of voice, "More than that, we were lovers. I still remember the day when we shared our first kiss. We were twelve at the time. Young, but truly in love. Friendship is something highly valued on my world and I just can't throw that away with Pitch Black."

"I know what he is and all the terrible things he has done, but no matter what he does, I'll always treat him like a friend. I may reprimand him and punish him for his wicked deeds but I'll always treat him like a friend and try everything in my power to bring him back to the light. And nopony should ever be left out of the celebration of Hearth's Warming."

Cesar

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. Nor use one of your, uh, snot tissues.. But I'm curious, what's Hearth's Warming? Some pony thing I assume. I'm used to just going to church and praying. Christmas is good for my neighborhood, gangs tend to enter a cease-fire during the season.

[The Flutterlands]

Al mentally shrugged, as he couldn't actually shrug. "Friends? Eh. Power? Maybe. But you'll always be a drug unicorn for me... And being a drug dealer m'self, I can tell you that that is a great way to get m'self some quick cash. And... aren't unicorns supposed to be white and have weird hair and be on that planet filled with weird fuckery?" The glint of a face was shown on the red crystal, but briefly disappeared. The crystal glowed a bit. "Alright, here's your goddamn power. Now get me some sandwiches from the goddamn kitchen around here, I never got to eat anything other than freaky cupcakes." Pitch Black now suddenly had the urge to comply, and started walking slowly.

(Flutterlands, I only get to do minor actions and urge Pitch Black to do things. Remember that...)

Pitch Black

Pitch Black smirked. He was beginning to like Al. "Unicorns, like all ponies of Equestria, come in many colors." he spoke cheerfully, before his voice took on a spark of anger, "I'm a very powerful unicorn wizard, but unfortunately, I was betrayed and sent into exile on this wretched planet for delving onto magical arts my people were too cowardly and weak to understand. I'll return one day. I shall have vengeance and they shall all bow before me in a new Discordian Age of chaos, disharmony, and darkness."

Pitch Black then blinked at Al's command. While at first he immediately wanted to tell the crystal to ether take a hike with his attitude or ask nicely, the black unicorn began to feel the urge to comply. Before Pitch knew it, he was already on his way to the kitching, taking the crystal with him in a small pouch of his. The young wizard passed through the crowds as if in a trance. He didn't give a care of who was in his way, the only thing on his mind was going to the kitchen to make a sandwich.

Eventually, Pitch Black stepped inside the kitchen and looked around for ingredients to make a sandwich. When Pitch Black began to make the sandwich, however, he snapped back into reality and shook his head out of the trance. The dark wizard saw that he was in the kitchen and looked down at the sandwich he was making before it finally registered in his mind what happened.

After a moment, Pitch Black made a toothy smirk and crackled loudly as he took out the crystal with his magic. "Hahahahaha!" he laughed, glaring at Al, "Did you just manipulate or take possession of me? Tsk Tsk. Tsk. You should have just asked nicely you know. I don't like beimg treated like someone's puppet. Only I get to pull the strings. Oh well, what the heck? I'll make one for you anyway, friend."

Pitch Black crackled again as he began to make the sandwich. Once he was done, he gave Al a grin. "There you go, friend." laughed the unicorn cheerfully, "Now tell me. You said that you gave me powers. What sort of powers? The same that Felicia used in the Cafeteria?"

Filia est Umbra

Filia nodded with a smile. "W-wonderland is w-where Matthew's f-from." she spoke softly, "I-it's a wonderful p-place with a queen and a k-king, playing c-card people, a-a hare n-named Marchy a-and a d-dormouse named D-dory. Marchy a-and Dory a-are H-hatter's friends a-and tea d-drinking companions. T-there are a-also many c-creatures like b-bandersnatches and j-jubjub birds.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. Nor use one of your, uh, snot tissues.. But I'm curious, what's Hearth's Warming? Some pony thing I assume. I'm used to just going to church and praying. Christmas is good for my neighborhood, gangs tend to enter a cease-fire during the season.

Bounty Hunt

Bounty smiled weakly. "T-that's okay." he said, "I just feel sorry for what Pitch went through and I feel like a terrible friend for not seeing the signs and helping him sooner."

The brown unicorn sneezed again. "Ugh." Bounty groaned before telling a story, "Anyway, Hearth's Warming is a very special holiday which ponies celebrate both the finding of Equestria's centeral nation, promptly named 'Equestria', and most importantly, the day when the three tribes of ponies, unicorn, pegasi and earth pony, finally stopped bickering with each other. Our ancestors placed their petty differences behind them and together banished the evil windigos who, attracted to the fighting long ago, brought a terrible never-ending winter that drove the ponies the land we now call home."

Bounty smiled. "Now tell me about Christmas, please." he spoke smoothly, sneezing into a cleaner tissue, "According to my studies on human culture, you humans celebrate Christmas as the birthday of a lowly carpenter, who grew up to be seen as the 'savior' of humanity. Yet, I learned that this carpenter, whom you call Jesus, died a rather painful death on wood, before supposedly rising from the dead on the day you celebrate as Easter. Forgive me, but I find it to be rather strange. Think you can you enlighten me more on this subject? I have been taking religious classes with Ms. Saint, but I'm still confused on the matter. One thing that also interest me greatly also is the fact that we share similar decore for our holidays, like wreaths, stokcings, lights, and trees."

"An ill-fitting place for a draconic soldier. I read the story too you know. About the lady who can change her size and what not. Also sounds like the more dangerous parts are being glossed over."

Zaphina Moore- Student

Zaphina stuck her tongue out at him, they were getting to the last hallway, she smiled. "Ha, tired is an understatement." She ran faster, grabbed his shoulders lightly and jumped over him like a hurdle even though he was taller then her. She flipped over him and landed in front of him a good distance away and took off again, she rounded the corner sharply again, her trick was grabbing the edge and using only one foot to turn the corner, she was already halfway down the final hall and the cafeteria was the end.

Johann
Johann merely smiled as Zaphina disappeared around the corner. He began to chuckle as his own pace began to pick up and soon, he was within grasping distance of Zaphina as the cafeteria came closer and closer. He summoned forth a little more energy and caught up to her right as both of them reached the Cafeteria. "So, it's a tie." Johann said slightly winded from the race. "Who buys the hot chocolate and who gets the kiss?" Either way, it's a treat for the both of us. He thought, slightly blushing at the idea.

Zaphina

Zaphina was laying on top of a cafeteria table, she was exhausted, "Eh....why don't...you pick...I....am too tired.." She managed to say between deep breaths. She loved running, but pushing herself was never a good idea as this happened and she was always vulnerable. She only did it around people she trusted, aka a few people. She thought to herself while she lay still. He pops out of no where and he never liked me anyway. he was always this proud pompous prince. Now he's someone different. Why can't guys and girls just be simple and straight to the point? Reminds me that I hate people who go around in circles with words and not getting to the point... guys are like that all the time. I don't even know if I really like him back.... maybe the kiss will change that thought? I doubt it. Most guys are never good kissers anyways...

Alucard sighed and drew his guns out, pointing both at Oliver, "Come on now Oliver, I'm sure we can find someplace else for you to stay. She is my student and i don't know if she is okay with you 'living' in her head forcing her to make blood and skin cupcakes. Because i certainly wouldn't be okay with it." He was stern and about to loose his patience, having delt with this one before and the others, makes him wonder how on earth they even got into the crystals and then managed to pick up people. It even bothered him that people, humans, picked up shiny things and objects. he didn't understand it and never wanted to.

Oliver drew out a strange piece of paper with black markings on it. It glowed pale blue, and grey smoke came off of it. He drew more knives as well. "Nah, poppet. It's better in here, and every other home just seems to explode into pieces or die on a roller coaster. That's not ideal for me."

Again... I didn't do anything...

(what?)

Alucard

Alucard sighed and looked at Felicia, "Felicia, before i do anything stupid in here, are you okay with Oliver living in your head?" he kept his guns drawn, just in case as he was not exactly looking at Oliver and more so at the still pale and frightened Felicia. He thought to himself, why do crazy things like this always happen in a school like this. How could Oliver and the others even get here? Something is a miss, but it doesn't matter as long as Felicia agrees and if she doesn't then i'm not sure what i can do.

7:30 AM, December 23rd.

"Oh hey Unyan. Certainly took quite a long trip didn't you? I hope you didn't make any detours on the way" Jen cooley says, dressed in warm clothing now "Well, at least you got back here quickly. So, if you've got everything we should get ready to go. I hope you said goodbye to your boyfriend, there's a chance we might not be coming back.... just joking of course. Anyway, the way to the unknown area is going to be through this entrance here. So yeah, I'm just going to go now since I'm sick of waiting and these clothes are uncomfortable. Alright then, to adventure!"

With that Jen opens the door, and a large gust of cold wind blows in which covers her with snow. Quickly shaking it off, Jen trudges off into the white storm, heading North to the unknown regions of the island.

"I did get to see him!" Unyan said as she slowed down her walk to meet Jen's, "'Lin is still as weird and quirky and confident as always! Helped me find my notebook." She looked as he opened the way to the entrance to the journey. A wave of cold air chilled the bones, but Unyan's blood was still pumping. She moved her hands to her face, rubbing them together and blowing heavily into them. The air was heavy as it moved from her face as a puff of smoke. The snow creased into footprints, leaving a pathway from start to finish. She was excited, not every day you go on an adventure! She had her baton and great-sword with her, all you needed for a monster-bashing good time.

She followed Jen, right next to her.

As time continued, she felt she needed to say something to break the ice and fill the void, "so... why do you not like Coilin? You always seem a little apprehensive around him. I am fine if you are, but you are my best friend, and he is my boyfriend. I'd love if you guys got along." she fumbled a little as she walked, not seeing a little rock behind a blanket of white. The blanket was not a warm or soft blanket, but it was one that warmed Unyan's heart as she loved the season. "not too close, of course," she said jokingly, "but close enough to enjoy being with me at the same time."

"I dunno. just really don't think he likes me very much. I think I might just be way too laid back and relaxed for his tastes. Also I miiiiight have made a really mean joke about him this one time. It was an accident, I swear. I didn't even know he was in the room at the time" Jen replies, trudging through the cold snow "I mean, he's alright but he can be really irritating sometimes with that snark of his. Also, I really don't want to get in the way of you guys. I mean, you guys are pretty much glued together so I usually try to hang back and wait for all the lovey dovey stuff to end. Romance is not my specialty, that's for sure. So yeah, that's pretty much why I act kinda weird around him,"

THE SCHOOL

The loudspeaker turns on and a calm, female voice broadcasts over the intercom "All students report to the auditorium immediately. I, Principal Victoria will deliver an important message for all students of the school, before students are dismissed for the start of Christmas break In addition, I would like to fully address yet again the events of two months prior so that we may finally move on from those tragic events. The speech will begin in 10 minutes, so do not be late. One final thing, a massive blizzard is headed towards the island and will strike in about eight hours. Expect heavy snowing, ice and very low temperatures. Students are advised to stay indoors and wear heavy clothing, as well as stay safe outdoors. That will be all for now. Victoria out."

And with that, the intercom shuts off.
