Uldartre Academy (year 2, IC, semi-open)

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Don't call me a fucking Vakolicci," Alicia spat. "Being a Vakolicci is Jason's job, I'm purest Celari all the way back." The waiter came and delivered the spicy chicken, and Alicia began to eat at a fare pace.
"I might consider trying to get them to conform to Celari ways," she conceeded, "But their's a whole year for that. At the moment, I'm just far too distracted."

"No I won't," the assistant said, clearly annoyed with the foreign idiot who had ran out of his shop with an expensive, if vulgar, parrot. "I'll accept Drals, or I'll accept a credit card. Take your pick."

"Um... Are you licensed to transfer the responsibilities of caring for this legal dependent to me? I have my papers. I do not have any money on my person right now, though. What exactly is a credit card?" said Taras to the shop assistant.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"I'm not licensed to do anything," the assistant snapped. Why did he always get the crazy tourist people?
"I sell pets. You don't need paperwork. Oh...and a credit card is a small piece of plastic with a chip in it that you scan, and it lets you pay with that rather than with actual money. If you don't have money or a credit card, you're not buying the parrot."
"Parrot! Card! Wanker!" squawked the parrot. "Wanker parrot! Wanker parrot!"

[Woodstovia]

"Oh sorry." said Allen meekly as he ate at a slower and ironically more ladylike pace than Alicia. "I keep forgetting the differences between Celari and Vakolicci. If you don't mind me asking what exactly are you distracted with?"

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"What do you think I'm distracted with?" Alicia said softly, putting her arm around Allen's now steely-hard waste. "Anyway...you do eat like a lady, don't you? So, I've decided...we'll return to the others after this. See what they think of your new dressing style!"

[The High Tatras]

"Parrot! Card! Wanker!" squawked the parrot. "Wanker parrot! Wanker parrot!"

"Well, if you are selling live animals without the appropriate licensing I am going to go and find a telephone booth and call whatever the local equivalent of the "Citizens Militsiya" is around here. Besides, that poor creature was probably plucked out of the jungle and smuggled here to begin with." said Taras. He wandered off still carrying the parrot in its cage, trying in vain to find a public telephone.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

Exasperated, the assistant followed the idiotic foreigner.
"You don't need a license to sell animals in Celeria," he said. "You'll learn that soon." He reached Taras and grasped onto the cage. "Theft, however, is a crime. Would you like to be reported to security, or will you be putting that back?"

"Oh... I guess in that case... I suppose he is yours... but... but please be nicer to him. He does not seem to be a very happy bird." said Taras to the shop assistant. He handed back the cage.

"Sorry, Mansa Musa." he said to the parrot.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Stupid foreigners," the assistant mumbled before beginning to walk away.
"Taras." Jason walked through the range door, a freshly rolled up cigarette in his hand. "Were you going to buy that parrot? I was just going out of the range to have a smoke...I don't think soking in that place is a good idea. Go and see Maria if you want it."

[Prussio]

Josef freiherr von Schofield

"What in the bloody hell are you doing giant?", cried out Josef as he was wrestled down by the giant. "I was collecting my property and don't need you trying to sexually assault me to do so", Josef continued to the giant above him. "Read my datapad, the idiot signed himself away with his biological signature when he used the contract chip", he said trying to smile under the pressure of being choked and the weight of the man. "We have no quarrel, in fact, I even enjoy your company giant so please let me go so I can claim what is mine", Josef finally said beginning to lose the ability to speak.

"Shall I die?", Josef thought staring up into the Giant's face, "And how many will die as well?" Josef was ready for the giant to make the squeeze to end his life. "Kill me if you want, but only kill if one is prepared to be killed", he smiled as his voice cut off from the lack of air. "Who do you think will lose more?", he said staring up defiant to the brutish idiot.

[The High Tatras]

"Stupid foreigners," the assistant mumbled before beginning to walk away.
"Taras." Jason walked through the range door, a freshly rolled up cigarette in his hand. "Were you going to buy that parrot? I was just going out of the range to have a smoke...I don't think smoking in that place is a good idea. Go and see Maria if you want it."

"Ruff!" said Maksym, who had returned to his master after spending a lengthy period of time foraging for food, as always unleashed and completely unattended. He was holding a dead mallard in his mouth.

"Um... I think it actually might be better for all of us if I do not get the parrot. Maksym does not get along very well with birds. However, I am wondering if there is a haberdashery somewhere within this building. I need a nice outfit to impress someone special tonight." said Taras to Jason.

Allen sighed sadly as Alicia began to rub his belt. "I'm sorry I don't mean to be a distraction miss." said Allen. When she talked about how she'd show the others he blushed, suddenly realising that this was now permanent and that everybody would see. He cast his gaze downwards and began eating more. Too depressed to say anything.

The dulled, if not silent click of a cocking hammer could be heard as Sienna pulled her weapon from her holster, leveling it to the back of Elosqir's head. Her face was a mask of cooled calm as she growled three words. "Let him up." She didn't particularly care about the others around her, just the two she faced.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

Alicia wrapped her arm around Allen and put her face towards his.
"I fucking hate this," she told him. "I don't enjoy making you depressed, you know that? To me, you're good-looking, and kind, and intelligent...but they keep shouting at me and I don't have control all the time, you know that?"

Elosqir released his grasp on Joseph's throat, but carried on holding him down.
"I don't like slavery," he growled. "My whole country were slaves, do you know that? Do you know how it feels? I'm only keeping you alive now because it would be far too much trouble with the authorities justifying why I killed you. Oh, and by the way, this is the Haven. We don't recognise your contracts, because they weren't made in the Haven. We couldn't care shit about your contracts, because the Haven protects its own, and fuck to the rest. Now, you son of a bitch, stand up. By the way, I'm Elosqir, not Giant. I don't like the name but I'm proud do have it." Roughly, he pulled the Prussian to his feet.

"That dog killed a bird," Jason said angrily. "Why do you never keep that dog on a leash? You need to stop it killing things, people don't like that at all." The shop assistant took the opurtunity to walk away.

"Um... Really, you want him on a leash? He would not like being kept on a leash all the time. Besides, that is his supper. We both love roast duck! Is there anywhere around here we can start a fire to cook with? Why are you staring at us like that?" said Taras to Jason.

[Woodstovia]

"What? Who keeps yelling at you? Elosqir and Maria? I know you don't have control over me but I'm a human too you don't need to constantly control me." Allen said in a confused tone of voice. He had no idea what Alicia was talking about and so made a few assumptions.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"The other 2...one's telling me to hurt you and one to free you," Alicia said, her voice sounding strained. "Oh gods...Oh Allen...Help me! She's trying to...I can't no!"

"He can't just go around killing things," Jason tried to explain. "Someone owned that duck...their's no such thing as public game-hunting ground in Celeria."

[Woodstovia]

"The other... The other who? A-are you all right miss?" Allen asked, he was hesitant to take a commanding role with Alicia. "I think we should get back to the others now, you'll be fine."

[The High Tatras]

"The other 2...one's telling me to hurt you and one to free you," Alicia said, her voice sounding strained. "Oh gods...Oh Allen...Help me! She's trying to...I can't no!"

"He can't just go around killing things," Jason tried to explain. "Someone owned that duck...their's no such thing as public game-hunting ground in Celeria."

"Do you mean... Do you mean to say... Do you mean to say that there are no communally held hunting grounds? Do you mean to say that someone is allowed to own all of the game and the fur bearers forests, and all of the fish in the streams, and all of the livestock herds, and that someone is the only person allowed to go hunting or fishing there? That's... That's terrible. How do people live here, when almost literally nothing in life is free? It seems there is no free food, there is no free or low cost public or subsidized housing, there is no free primary, secondary, or university education, there is no universal healthcare... I am not even sure if there is free fire protection, free police protection, or even free military protection in this country unless you are born into one of the clans." said Taras to Jason.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Oh gods...oh no...help me!" Alicia almost shouted, holding Allen in a tight, but not to controlling grip. "Ah...she's gone for now. I think I need to explain what's in my head...their's me, I'm Alicia, and to me you're actly what you show yourself as, that's intelligent and kind and very much handsome. And then their's another who wants me to force everyone to follow my will; she's horible...gods, don't let her take control, you've seen her so much. And then their's another who just wants me to fade into the distance, just wants me to go...I don't want to see her either. The thing is, my Brother wants me to be sadistic. You've seen him, you know how forceful he can be." For a moment, she just Held Allen before whispering "I don't know how I think...I think I love you..."

"Welcome to Celeria," Jason said with a shrug. "Nothing is free. You've got to earn it all..."

[Meinkraft]

Sienna replaced her gun for the second time in a row today. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size!?" she yelled at Elosqir, standing clear.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"They don't exist," was Elosqir's calm reply, reaching for his own weapon.

[Woodstovia]

"Oh um okay." he said sheepishly to the clearly insane woman he was talking to. "I think we should just go back to the others or back to the academy. You need some help."

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"I'M fine," Alicia mumbled between mouthfuls of chicken. "I just...I just love you. But sometimes...they take control, which I can't help...it's horible!" she yelled.

[Crumb-Cashew]

Cottura was getting bored with the shooting range. She was actually quite good at it, but it seemed there was nothing more to do and her mind became to wander. Oh no. When Cottura's mind wandered, major things tended to happen, usually involving something unintelligent done by the former.
Suddenly gaining consciousness, Cottura set down her new pistol and, grabbing it again, exited the shooting range carefully. All she wanted to do was go back to Uldartre Academy and meet the Crumb. Meet the Crumb... the thought was hilarious in its own right. A small smile crept across her face. Sweeping her cloud of hair to the side, Cottura started wandering around the wall, with the thought that if she got lost, she would self-navigate easily; she had done such many times before.
