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

[Woodstovia]

"Oh...um..." Allen replied sheepishly. He was very clearly embarrassed and was blushing even more heavily "what would you be planning to so miss?" He asked nervously

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Lots of things," Alicia said, sliding her hand even further up the thigh. "At least it won't be too painful for you...that is if you behave yourself, of course."

[Woodstovia]

Allen suddenly got very very scared when Alicia said it would hurt him. He also began to shy away from her hand "please stop touching me like that." Allen whimpered .

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Why shouldn't I touch you?" Maria scoffed. "I touch everything else that I own in the way I please, why not you? She moved her hand up to Allen's waste and began to press a little. "I wonder," she said. "What dress size are you?"

[Woodstovia]

Allen squirmed as Alicia touched him but didn't say anything. "How am I supposed to know?" He whined meekly in response to his owner.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"We'll have to get you fitted," Alicia decided finally, leaning in close to inspect Allen's body. "You're quite good-looking today," she complimented, "So I think you'd look good in a dress. Do you agree?"

[Meinkraft]

Cottura smirked when being called "Nutty Bread"- a great one to tell Penne back at home. She loved her country more than ever for these kinds of things.
"The one in the gray? Yes, that's Sienna," Cottura said to Josef as he pointed.

The metalhead perked up as she heard some folks mention her name. Looking in Josef's direction, she yawned and inquired "Well now, who in the world are you? Hi Cottura."

[Crumb-Cashew]

"Ciao, Sienna, this is Josef, I'm not sure what he wants," Cottura told Sienna. Not that the former could be of any help.

[Woodstovia]

"Thank you." Said Allen, pleaded to get a compliment. "But it'll just look weird, please don't make me do it." He begged meekly.

[The High Tatras]

"We'll have to get you fitted," Alicia decided finally, leaning in close to inspect Allen's body. "You're quite good-looking today," she complimented, "So I think you'd look good in a dress. Do you agree?"

"You cannot be serious! I know you are a sadist, but... but you really make a grown man wear a dress? I thought dressing a little boy like a little girl was ridiculous enough, but... Would you really?"

He blushed, remembering that his various foster parents had made him wear dainty white dresses until he was adopted by his elementary school teacher, who finally "breeched" him at the age of eight. That was considered a major rite of passage in his homeland, though it happened to most boys at a much earlier age.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Thank you." Said Allen, pleaded to get a compliment. "But it'll just look weird, please don't make me do it." He begged meekly.

"Who suggested it?" Alicia asked with a sigh. "Sometimes, when things are suggested to me, I just can't get them out of your head. Aren't you wishing now that you could get suggestions into your head? One pretty big one last night, for example. Oh and another thing. As you're quite clearly lacking in the brain department, I'm going to recommend that you get an education here. If they say no, they say no which generally means I pay them more or threaten them, depending what mood I'm in, but you're more useful when you're intelligent rather than thick. What do you think, if you're capable of that of course?"
"Why not," she said, turning to Taras. "I think he'd look quite good in a dress. He's the right height for a girl, and that pretty face really would go with it."

[Woodstovia]

"I'd love to get an education here miss." Allen answered truthfully. He was blushing with embarrassment. "I'll get a growth spurt soon." He muttered weakly. His height was another soft spot.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"You should get a growth spurt," Maria snapped. "I'd hate to think Blacksen gave me a dwarf, so you must get one. Then again, with that member, I'm sure that you at least know how to grow certain areas." Alicia slid a finger towards the selfsame member, and began to squeeze it.
"So..." she decided. "We need to go dress shopping today. I hope you're feeling strong, because I'll have a good number of bags, and can you guess who's carrying them?"

[Kwadai]

Mewan almost choked at Alicia's actions and turned away. He wanted to try and stop her but he thought better of it creating trouble with Alicia was the last thing he wanted to do.

[Valaran]

Si hadn't intended to fall asleep. She hadn't even finished her food. But her body rather decided the matter, and in no uncertain terms.

It took about half an hour for her mind to reassert control. It then took another 10 minutes of mental struggle to actually find the will and get up. Blinking away the residue of sleep-induced befuddlement and stretching, Si decided a nice shower was her next priority. The warm water quickly washed away the sweat and grime of non-stop travel (especially that horrible plane smell that had been following her around). She had needed that.

What was left of her breakfast came next. She didn't dare unpacking yet (far too much effort), and instead decided to something more interesting as a procrastination. besdies, the noble wasn't so good at menial duties. Why else would you hie a servant?

One aspect still unfulfilled was her curiosity. The early morning darkness had completely obscured the palace when she arrived, and to be honest much of what happened since was still blurry in her mind. An exploration might be fun, she mused. Slipping on whatever came out of her back first (in this case, some jeans and a hoodie, she opened the door and went into the corridors.

[Geara]

In the hushed halls of the palace, the soft shuffle of feet could be heard and words of a half-muttered chant was echoed through the thick Celeri air. Andrew had slept for several hours during the trip to Uldarte and now he roamed the halls with, covered in a coarse woolen blanket to protect him for the evening chill that always replaced the scorching heat. "Sancta mater, ora pro nobis" Andrew whispered, enjoying the sound of his words leap around the marbled catacombs of the night. He smiled and tossed his silver triangle into the air with a cheerful throng. Catching, he sat down in the center of an intersection between two giant hallways.

"Orate pro nobis." He said.

Suddenly he awoke. The night was replaced with the golden shimmer of morning. "Orate..." he began, but silenced himself when he heard the soft sound of approaching footsteps. The palace was so silent and the steps so faint, that he could tell where they came from. He froze, still prostrate on the ground, listening intently. When the steps stopped, he sat up and looked behind him.

Perhaps his eyes were burdened with sleep, perhaps the light was casting strange shadows, or just maybe she was casting a halo. He did not blink, did not look away, did not blink. He breathed, "Sancta mater." Then the illusion was gone, the sleep was wiped from his eyes, the morning's light shifted and he was looking at Si.

"Good morning." He said quietly, "are you here to pray?"

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

Maria was beginning to get impatient. 40 minutes after such a promising start, their were still people who had not arrived; including that new girl who had swanned in and then wandered out again without properly stopping.
"I'm going to look for people," she said, standing. Before anyone could object, she was wandering the corridors.

About 5 minutes later, she passed the odd boy from yesterday. As if to back up her opinion of him, he was currently lying prostrate on the ground with a blanket and a strange silver triangle.
"What the...what are you doing here?" she asked, not noticing the new girl yet.

[Prussio]

"Ciao, Sienna, this is Josef, I'm not sure what he wants," Cottura told Sienna. Not that the former could be of any help.

"Josef freiherr von Schofield, a pleasure to meet you", Josef said introducing himself to Sienna before turning to Cottura. "She was the only one I haven't seen yet Cottura, just trying to be friendly I assure you", he said to her sipping from his glass.

[Meinkraft]

"Ciao, Sienna, this is Josef, I'm not sure what he wants," Cottura told Sienna. Not that the former could be of any help.

"Josef freiherr von Schofield, a pleasure to meet you", Josef said introducing himself to Sienna before turning to Cottura. "She was the only one I haven't seen yet Cottura, just trying to be friendly I assure you", he said to her sipping from his glass.

"Pleasure's all mine. You sure are.....different." she commented, placing a hand to her chin, a puzzled look on her face.

[Woodstovia]

Allen squealed in pain and re-adjusted his position on the chair so that less pressure was placed... There. Allen placed his hands onto Alicia's hand, it could've been to push her hand away but Allen was too scared of her and so he just basically held her hand. Still though he didn't complain and even tried to reply to her even though he was in pain. "I'll do m-my best miss." He managed meekly.

[Kwadai]

Looking around briefly Mewan tried to spot someone to talk with whilst waiting for the others to awake from their slumbers. Noticing Elosqir near Alicia he strolled over, beckoning Nik to come along. "Morning", he greeted the Celerian brightly.

[South New Caledonia]

"Josef freiherr von Schofield, a pleasure to meet you", Josef said introducing himself to Sienna before turning to Cottura. "She was the only one I haven't seen yet Cottura, just trying to be friendly I assure you", he said to her sipping from his glass.

"Pleasure's all mine. You sure are.....different." she commented, placing a hand to her chin, a puzzled look on her face.

-"This reminds me of one thing... I didn't notice you before did I? I'm Corporal Rank 2 Akane von Liaki, Nice to meet You."- Akane was very confused as always, she wasn't sure if she had introduced her to that girl before, she smiled at the girl.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Morning," Elosqir said, moving up on the sofa to make room and beckoning them to sit. He yauned. "Gods...if their's anything I hate more than falling over someone on the way to breakfast, it's that bitch over their." He pointed suriptioushly at Alicia. "Have you seen her latest trick?"

"Uhm..." Alicia said, gently playing with the organ. "It's a nice size, don't you think?" She guided Allen's hand up and down it.

[Valaran]

Si did step softly. If fitted her delicate somewhat delicate personality. She was also unused to the place, and didn't want to disturb anything. The chanting caught her ear though. Its soft, melodic nature seemed to emanate naturally. She walked forwards.... and froze when she saw the figure on the ground, looking up at her.

His gaze was entrancing. She was drawn into it. And yet, after a moment, she felt he wasn't so much staring at her. There was no human glint of recognition in his eyes. But rather the vision of one lost in a dream. Or high, of course, but the silver triangle led to believe the former much more readily.

He spoke a latin phrase. That threw Si again; she struggled to remember her old teaching. "Did you just call me Sacred Mother?" She blurted. oops. It seemed to snap him awake. "Oh, uh, hi." She looked down at her jeans and hoodie and back at him. "No. I'm not religious."

[Kwadai]

Sitting down Mewan and Nik both looked toward Alicia, still doing what she was doing earlier. "Yeah...that's going too far", Mewan said bitterly looking again "Waaay too far..".
