"I don't know...maybe they found a way to stall them?"

A moment of silence.

"Um...Maybe the school doesn't want the police on campus? After all, how would they explain the copious amounts of damage to the bodies without them investigating and poking around? I don't think that they would accept that it came from a small bullet...?

"I guess...maybe it's the fact that I'm Canadian, but I expected...something..." She said with another sigh. Still laying on her back, she raised a hand and created a small fireball, and began contact juggling with it.

 

[mcpop9]

The day progressed on, and the school's handlers came and cleaned up the bodies and proceeded onto the families of the fallen. Soon enough, the school had a magical barrier of enchanted poles up around the school. There was a faint shimmer in the sky as the barrier was entirely encapsulating the school.

However, on the girl's dorm door there was a knock. Standing outside of it was a man in a suit, hair slicked back and looking around rather boredly.

MEANWHILE: standing outside of Guys dorm, there was someone who looked like he was from beta house, holding a large box of something. He kicked on their door.

 

[Knife-28]

A bang on the door jolted Jarrah from his position leant against his door and the Yowie lept to his feet, half expecting more gunshots like those hours earlier. Another bang, accompanied by the rattling of the door woke Jarrah up completely and he made his way over to the entrance of the door.

"Hello?" The giant asked, opening the door a crack.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra, whom had stop her experiments after burning her left arm in what amounts to a 'magical back fire' and was now in the kitchen running cold water on her arm, wrapped it in a wet towel and answered the door.

"I help you?" she asked the man in the suit as she weaved a simple enchantment with a short life into the towel to keep it cold and moist for a lot longer then it would have been other wise.

 

[Athol]

Alicia

She'd kinda zoned out while playing with her little fireball, and as such was a little slow off the mark when somebody knocked on the door. In the time it took her to realize what the sound was, put the fire out, and get to her feet, Sierra had beaten her to the door.

"I help you?"

Still a bit on edge, Alicia dropped into a 'ready' posture without realizing it. Seeing the wet towel across Sierra's arm, she raised an eyebrow.

[hr]

Isaac

Having fallen asleep in front of the television Isaac's first response to the banging, was to flip himself off the couch and onto the floor, in an act of instinctual self-preservation.

"Hello?"

Realizing there was no imminent attack he hopped to his feet, keeping a wary eye on the doorway, and the Aussie mountain currently blocking it.

 

[mcpop9]

The man standing outside the doorway of the girls dorm smiled as he was greeted by Sierra. "Ah, Sierra. You're taller than your teacher described you. I'm Birres Mahogany. And before you go impaling me on that enchanted toy of yours..." He said, flicking up a candy cigaret out of his pocket, into the air and catching it in his mouth. "I'm going to tell you that I'm a friend of one of the few friends you have down there." The man said, gesturing to the ground and his skin turning a dark red, small horns growing out of his skull and a spade tipped tail coming out of suit. "I'm also you're new dark arts tutor considering your teacher saw your extremely bored. So just call me Bill."

[hr]

Frat boy beta was standing there, shaking and nervous from seeing the massive pile of man before him. "I... Uh.... Ummmm...." He said, lost at words. He was shaking and the feint scent of pizza wafted in from the the box as well. This was however, when rose walked out of her room, dressed in a tank top and cargo shorts, and to the door. "Oh cool, pizza ***** is here..." She said in her usual monotonous voice, politely moving the Aussie flesh train out of the way. The shinigami opened the door and pulled him inside, closing the door behind him and taking the large box and setting it on the counter. She opened it to reveal five boxes of pizza and opened the top one, which was only cheese. Then she went through them all, inspecting the toppings. Cheese, bacon, pepperoni, mushroom and one was topped with bacon ham and sausage.

"Good job PB, sit." She ordered him and pointed at the couch. He was paled and sat down quickly, nodding. "Guys, come get pizza." She said around the dorm room.

 

[Knife-28]

Jarrah cocked an eye at the Frat boy and walked over to the counter to grab a slice of pizza.

"He a friend of yours?" He asked Rose.

 

[Lunar Templar]

"No doubt this change in tune toward my powers being spurred on by the mornings events." She said, clearly not trusting this demon, not that she trusted any demon. "And since your here now, instead of greeting me at class I take it would be safe to assume the staff wish to start now, or, do my 'friends' like Seth want to get that ball rolling?"she said, now fully on her guard. She wasn't so naive to think just because he hadn't attacked yet, didn't mean he wasn't going to.

 

[Sithmorack]

Jack had been sitting inside his room meditating. For the past night he had been making sure no one else came remotely near their dorm without him realizing. He was finally brought back to reality from Rose telling the guys to come get some pizza. He paled a bit at the mention of food, remembering how he got the food out of his body. It wasn't pretty. Then he had a thought 'I can pale? How is that possible?' He got up and quickly exited his room and saw the "pizza *****" as Rose so eloquently put it.

"He a friend of yours?"

Was the first thing Jack heard as he walked towards them. As soon as he was within acceptable range he said "I'll pass on the pizza however I would like Jarrah's question answered."

 

[Athol]

Alicia

When their new 'visitor' revealed what he was, Alicia nearly launched a pre-emptive strike. She figured her chances against a demon where somewhere on the low side of 'terrible'...but there was no way she would go down without a fight. When Sierra didn't go for her weapon, Alicia checked herself.

[hr]

Isaac

"Oh cool, pizza ***** is here..."

Heh...well at least it's something. He thought. Rose's near total lack of emotions was weirding him out a bit, not an easy thing to do to a changeling.

"Good job PB, sit."

"Oh and you even brought me dessert! How kind of you my dear." Isaac said in a sing-song voice, winking at the delivery boy. Shaking his ass, he sauntered over to the pizzas and looked at what was available. Pulling one slice from three different boxes, he stacked them together like a pizza 'sandwich', opened his mouth far wider than should be humanly possible, and ate the whole deal in three bites. "S'not bad..." He muttered as chewed.

"...I would like Jarrah's question answered."

"Boys, boys." He said as he swallowed, waving a hand at his two male roommates. "No need to so serious...Allow me." Walking back to the couch, he abruptly dropped himself onto the frat boy's lap, and wrapped an arm around his neck. "So," He said from only inches away. "Tell me all about yourself..."

 

[mcpop9]

In a flash, his hands went up in a defensive posture, Bill showing he wasn't going to hurt them. "Whoa... For the love of the beast, Sierra, there are a lot of people in hell who want you dead. Your reputation among those who would even consider working to help you isn't the most stable, killing an ally isn't the best way to go about making yourself a good looking risk. Well, you're already a prime target, but you got my point." He said, looking between the two girls. The demon swallowed and changed his appearance back to the gentlman like form.

"Now, I was contacted a few days ago to come and assist you since your current teacher could see your weren't going anywhere. I'm here to help you and even give knowledge on demons so you can better prepare yourself. Again, as to why I'm here, specifically at this moment, I figured I'd come meet you so come Monday, things would not be so rough. Please try me, I can even tend to your arm if you'd like me to. I know a bit of healing magic." He added to his previous a tatements.

[hr]

The guy seemed completely scared. "I... Ummm..." He began, but he slithered out of the grasp, quite literally. His lowered body slid down the couch and the shapeshifter seemed to not move as the frat boy turned into a male viper naga, cowering in fear and using rose as a sort of barrier between him and the rest of the group.
"Nah, he made the mistake of making a cat call at me... I got him to now be my pizza *****." She responded and added to the guys, her voice still the same as it ever was. "Odd, he doesn't talk much." She added as well.

 

[Outcast107]

Tomas watch the whole scene took place. Trying not to smile at the whole thing as it was funny to see the beta male squirm around by his roommates. Sitting at the other end as he open up the box and pull out a slice of pizza. Starting to eat it while they still pick on him.

"So he your pizza *****. Does that mean we'll get free pizza from now on?"

 

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle had since started reading a book again after her chat, having moved from the window to a chair. She had an idea about using some of her leftover phosphorus for something...probably a lamp or some other light source, but she was having trouble finding a good active element to heat it up. Still, she kept an open mind for anything else she could use it for. She became so ingrossed in her search, that she failed to hear the door knocking, not paying attention until she heard Sierra talking.

Mira stood up and took a peak at the man she was talking to. He didn't look too bad...but considering he was a demon, she didn't think he'd last too long with Sierra around...if he was a threat, that is. Still, he didn't seem like one so she didn't bother getting ready to fight. She stood at the ready anyways, ready and willing to help out if need be.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra groaned in irritation "I swear if I ever find that asshole Karis, I'm flaying his worthless carcass for putting me in this position ..." she semi muttered to her self as she invited him in. "Well, since you seem a bit more loose lipped then Seth, mind telling WHY demons are so pissed at Karis, as I assume this whole situation is a 'sins of the father are the sins of the child' kind of bullshit, must have been something pretty bad if they're calling me a 'traitor' when I've never even been 'down there' to swear loyalty to anyone." This was something she'd wanted to know for a long time and figured it was a good place to start if he was really here to help.

"As for my arm, it'll be fine, we have a whole fraternity here no one really cares what happens to so long as no one ends up dead, and it has been a few days since I reminded them of they're place, think I'll go make a 'withdraw' a little later to fix my arm." She said, with slightly more sinister edge then she'd intended.

 

[mcpop9]

He scratched the back of his neck. "There's not much left to know. it's hate mostly carried on for the simple fact you're even related to the guy in any way shape or form. Now, i'm not at too much liberty to speak about things cause it's not my place to do so. But to be realistic about why they hate you, the most prominent info is that he tried to kill the king. Hell is well... hell as humans would put it. things constantly changing and you get your promotion by putting your knife through your superior or his superior decides you'd do a better job. I left a while ago, so i've only had contact with Seth..." he explained, and shuttered at the mention of the name.

"The guy can be trusted to a point, but i wouldn't put it past him being allies with you for the "enemy of my enemy is my ally" type deal. He never talks on the topic of why he's helping you, but he also doesn't think very highly of the current king down there none the less." He said and walked into the room, hands now clasped together on the back of his neck. "Now, i'm not here about the demons, if i was, i wouldn't have made myself known to you." Berres explained to them and sat on the couch. "I'm a professor of dark magic and know a lot about the stuff. take a seat and just bring forth the mana, don't actually use it or anything, i just want to observe it.

[hr]

She shrugged and gave the guy the $40 yen equivilant and pointed to the door. he took it gratefully and slithered/ran off. "I may be harsh and cold, but i'm not a *****..." she said to Thomas, giving him a blank stare and eating the pizza.

 

[Lunar Templar]

"Yeah I got that 'trust him at arms length' vibe when I talked to him as well" Sierra said as she sat down across from the couch. It wasn't much she'd gotten from Bill, but it was more then she had before, and and attempted Regicide was at least understandable.

Sierra complied with his request to call bring her dark powers out. The illusion surrounding her dropped of it's own accord and the whole of her body seemed to to darken, in fact the whole room seemed to darken, in fact, the only thing that seemed to be allowed to produce light unhindered was the gold glow of her eyes. "Please do be quick about your examination, I don't generally like calling these powers up with out a valid threat around to use them on" she said, as she waited for this demon to get what he needed, though it accrued to her, this would be the first time Mirabelle or Alicia had seen her use these powers, so part of her wondered what they though of them.

 

[figment of mind]

Sierra seemed to think Bill wasn't an immediate threat considering that she didn't stop him from coming in and sitting down. He even seemed to give her some information that she was looking for, considering her response so that was good. Seeing as how she wouldn't be needed, Mirabelle sat down again, getting back to her reading as Bill and Sierra started doing their test.

Of course, she had to stop when Sierra actually began using her dark power. Mirabelle didn't acount for her Dark powers to be...well, dark. She looked up to see if there was anyplace to go while they conducted their test...only to have her jaw drop (metaphorically, her face didn't seem to move in reality) at how Sierra's powers were manifesting. She got up and moved around, ending up near Bill as she observed the girl, taking special note of the fact that light was radiating from Sierra's eyes, her face taking a quizzical look as she remembered to move it.

"Does that light in your eyes hurt? Does it have any effect on your vision?"

 

[Athol]

Alicia

Since Sierra seemed okay with this 'guy', Alicia eased up a bit. Apparently they were talking about some of the 'trouble' Sierra had touched on a while back, but most of what they said went right over her head. When Sierra dropped her illusion, Alicia was a bit surprised; Sierra was rarely her true self. It's a shame...she looks pretty badass like that. She thought.

The light in the room dimming, however was a new one. "What the...?" She muttered, looking about. It was a sunny day, and the curtains to the room's front window were open, but the sunlight seemed to almost stop at the sill. Raising a hand, she lit a fireball and was more than a little startled when it didn't seem to cast any appreciable light. "Okay, that's just creepy."

[hr]

Isaac

"Aw, I don't bite." Isaac called out as the delivery boy/snake made his escape. "Unless you ask me to at least." That just seemed to make the other guy move faster in his retreat. "Some people are just no fun." He huffed, snagging a fourth slice of pizza.

Polishing off his food, he glanced over at Rose. "So,Abal how did you make him your *****? Threats? Bribery? Blackmail?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra snickered at Alicia's reaction, and could not stop her self "What the matter Pyro? Afraid of the dark ..." she said in a creepy tone, even adding an 'evil chuckle' at the end of it. Course that was quickly dropped "Joking a side, it's pretty cool isn't it? Um ... what light?" Sierra directing the last bit toward Mirabelle, as she really had no idea what she was talking about as her wings stretched a little and her tail swayed lazily behind her.

 

[mcpop9]

"people act quickly when they see what is their soul being drawn out of their body before their eyes." Rose said and kept on eating, her tone cold in contrast to the hot pizza.

[hr]

Birres looked at her and placed a hand on his shoulder, closing his eyes. he sat this way for a minute before he let go and opened his eyes. "Well." he began, gesturing to her that she could relax. "First off, your eyes glow when you're in this form. next, the issue is your demon side doesn't play well with your human side, your human side being the dominating entity in mind and soul." he explained to Sierra and leaned back on the couch.

"It's always going to cause damage since you've only been taught, if at all, to channel you demonic magic like a human. You've hardwired yourself to instinctively draw the magic this way and any application of any serious force will cause damage, there is no reverse to it. i'm sorry. However, it's my job to turn a spell that can make your fully functioning hand into a crippled and only bone and ligament disfigurement, into an amount of pain with no real effects besides you blacking out. No promises on how far we can actually progress or if i'll be able to remove physical consequences. I will try to teach you how to wield the magic like a demon and lessen your current issue." Bill finished an let her respond as she saw fit.
