Isaac smirked. It was, possibly, the first time he actually smiled ever since he entered the school compound. It wasn't a genuine smile, for sure, but it was something.
"Thanks for that advice."
Do you not get it?
The boy slowly stood up, wedging the book under his armpit. Perhaps he'd burn the bloody thing. After all, there was always the school library; if he needed to read something really desperately, it was always open for him.
"So... anybody know what exactly we're doing there?"

Prusselanden wrote:"Not exactly. They're all inside at this time."
She yawned again and turned her head to look at him.
"Are you not scared of me? Ach, nevermind, you have dead people sending you messages, what is there to fear from a snake?" She set her book aside. "How long have they been bothering you.?"

"About three months."
The boy looked out towards the lake, his book wedged firmly underneath his armpit. The scenery was strangely calming, even if the memories that agitated him kept recurring day after day, night after night. Perhaps the cool air added to it.
"After an incident", said Isaac cryptically.

It's better to push through the discomfort and get it over with than have to carry on with it for a long time. An accident, huh? Were they the people who died in it?" She slithered onto the path and looked up at the migrating birds.
"Three months, that should be tough."

Isaac smirked, looking away and remaining silent for a moment. The wind whipped the grass ever so slightly, in line with the ripples of the water.
"The existence of ghosts is a scientific impossibility", he said calculatedly. "The mind is dictated by the brain, and upon death, the brain will die; therefore, the mind will die alongside the brain, ergo it cannot continue to exist after death. And yet..."
Liar.
"No. I wanted him to die."

"But he isn't dead yet. Well, not in that sense."
She looked at the ripples intensely. "But I wouldn't blame you if you don't believe in ghosts. Most people don't until they see the real thing."
She lifted her head up, her stomach undulating. "But he's still out there, no doubt....now what do the messages say?"

Luminesa wrote:"Ruby, this is Natalie. She's a doll who belongs to one of the students here," he explained. He then walked over to Natalie and picked her up in his hand. "Paris is a city in a faraway country called France. It's across the ocean, in a continent called Europe. There's plenty of cheese there too, if I remember correctly."
Rabbit hid it behind his normal cheery nature, but during the last couple of months he had become more somber himself. He had revealed his identity to one student, and had begun a relationship with one of the teachers. However, he had never found true closure on his last one. Thus, Rabbit still had questions and worried stirring inside of him, and he was now mixed about suddenly having a chance to go to Paris. There, he would encounter his old memories, which would be sure to be painful. However, maybe he would also be able to come to terms with what had happened, and finally move on.
No...I have to be here in the present moment with my students...they need me, especially now... he thought, determinedly.

"A...doll?" Ruby asked curiously, arching an eyebrow at the explanation she was given by the Rabbit. Normally, one did not see walking, talking (or burbling, in this case?) dolls wandering around any installation freely as this one did, as they were more often than not associated with the Dark Art of crafting artificial human life, an illegal practice that was often punishable by death from a Jaegar's black blade, and after that, the destruction of the creation. To ''put end it's misery'', as her commanders would often explain to her. It was strange to Ruby, how her briefing prior to being posted here had included such specific details on the subject, along with the identification of certain 'anomalies' among the student body...
"No, nevermind..." Ruby said, believing that she would be able to find out on her own just exactly what Natalie was, and just what other secrets the students hid. If there was anything dangerous...
Slowly, she sighed and shook her head, not wanting to take such drastic measures just because of this one little incident...and yet she still felt a burning sensation in her gloved hands...As much as she wanted to believe it wasn't so...there were very dark beings present here.
'And so the Abyss has spread even here, to this sanctuary of Light and hope...A dreadful thought indeed...'
As soon as Natalie had rushed out of the room, Ruta came out from behind his chair, his form once again visible in his black and blue robes, able to heave out a sigh of relief. That was, until the doll's earsplitting screech forced both him and Ruby to cover their ears, the sheer volume of the scream causing them to grit their teeth and close their azure eyes.
"...I'm not sure what is going to kill my ears first...Violet's experiments, or her..." Ruta groaned, slowly removing his hands from his ears.
Kasoura did the same and slowly turned her gaze to the still standing Jaegar. "...Do I want to know what you mean by that..?" Kasoura responded, opening her large eyes once again.
"If you like your peace of mind, then you do not..." he quietly stated, putting a hand to his head and covering his eyes for a moment.
"...You really need to get a damn therapist, one of these days." Ruby retorted after a moment of deliberation, letting a small laugh escape her, much to Ruta's displeasure.
It was comedic almost, like two old friends having a friendly chat about the loss of sanity, as if the topic was some sort of laughing matter between them, only for the two to quickly sober up due to the resurgence of what could be presumed to be some painful experience, making them silent and serious once more.

"Well, now that that's done, perhaps we should try and go explain to the students what is actually happening concerning our trip to Paris. After all, as helpful as little Natalie was trying to be, I don't think that was what I had intended for her to do..." Rabbit then walked out of the office, both to find the students and to get ready himself. He also wanted to get away from Ruby, as he felt quite nervous with her hanging around.

Rabbit then walked out of the office, both to find the students and to get ready himself. He also wanted to get away from Ruby, as he felt quite nervous with her hanging around.
The two Jaegars turned their gaze to Rabbit one final time before giving each other a silent nod of understanding, as if neither needed no words to tell the other what had to be done. Ruta let go of the letter in his hands, and it floated into Ruby's, wherein she began to read and basically shut out everything else, even the sounds of the songbirds as they flew about in the great outdoors.
Smiling to himself a little, Ruta quietly closed the door so Ruby would be able to (hopefully) enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet without nosy students wandering into the room. Though once she was done, it was more than likely she would track down Ruta and the Rabbit, to assist the former and keep tabs on the latter.
Within the span of a few minutes, which really felt like no time at all to him now, he was so accustomed to walking through the Academy's halls, Ruta made his way out into the courtyard where the morning sun shined through the thin mist surrounding the island. He looked well composed, though the tiredness in his face was still there, just like it always was. His black and blue robes were straight, clean, and mostly unwrinkled as he strode into the center of the courtyard where the school's fountain was. Closing his eyes and looking towards the fountain, Ruta began to speak quietly in tongues for a moment, his every word incomprehensible to any persons who may have been trying to read his lips and those close enough to hear, for they were not words of any spoken language; they were the words to a spell.
'Soflori Erékeos...', Ruta finished, the whispered incantation echoing throughout the entirety of the courtyard, causing the fountain's waters to ripple and a slight gust of wind to push out from the spot where he uttered the chant.
"Ladies, Gentlemen, Students, Teachers...This is Professor Ruta of the Defense Wing speaking, I have an important announcement to make on this fine morning. I kindly ask that you all lend me your ears and pay attention." Ruta's voice boomed throughout the entire island, it's intensity unaffected by the presence of walls or any other obstacle that might otherwise block the sound.

"A close translation for this one would be along the lines of "What the fuck is your name?". Though I'm sure it's slightly stronger in the original."月を見上げ高まる。
" "Look up at the moon and rise". No idea what this is supposed to mean."你在看什麼?
"Since you speak Chinese, I presume you know what this one means. This is the most bothersome one, if you ask me."
With that, the boy passed the book to the snake and took a step closer to the lake, his hands in his pockets. The wind became slightly weaker.
"Personally, I think the most logical interpretation is simply that my father was a deranged man. Occam's Razor."

Subject: Principal
Dr. Miguel Fernandez will be retiring in December this year; my guess is that his successor as Principal will probably be Dr. Joash Brandt, the current Head of Department of Foreign Languages. If not him, then Mr. Adam Winter, Dean of Pupil Development.
Just thought you'd be interested.

Isaac Yanev
Isaac looked up at the sky sheepishly, his hands still buried deep into the pockets of his grey trousers. His snowy hair blew backwards courtesy of the wind in a Titanic-esque sort of manner.
"Well... his body was crushed into a mush..." he said, his voice trailing off, as if to spare the gruesome details. "More likely than not, knowing that hussy of a mad scientist who goes by Mrs Yanev, it's probably either been cremated or put into formaldehyde and stashed away in a cupboard somewhere."
He turned to face the snake, the direction his hair was flying in changing as he did so.
"I'm not sure how effective moving across the globe will be, but I don't suppose there's any harm in trying."

".....Your Mother's crazy as well? Wow....life must be rough at home. But y'see a spirit can't perform activity more than a few miles from its final resting place, so either he is a kind of tormenting spectre or something much much more sinister....and yeah, moving might give us some leverage over him."

"Perhaps. In any case, I'll probably find a day to burn this book, before it starts writing 'MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN' all over it, or some dumb crap like that."
Isaac quietly walked back to where he had left his satchel. Adjusting the sleeves of his perfectly pressed grey blazer (which matched his trousers like a uniform), he quietly stood up.
"Now, let's see what the principal has to say now."
