NISA School for the Magical Artes (11/24 Tuesday)

[vampko]

Selene took Alana's hand in with her own.
"Acchan. I was afraid that I had lost you as a friend. Before coming to this school, we never had friends. I see now that friends are precious.
... and don't worry about what you said. You are in love. People who are in love sometimes do... things that they wouldn't normally do..."

Selene's face clouded as she glanced back at Naomi, and she let go of Alana's hand.

"it's fine, I'm just glad you two worked it out," Rin smiled, "siblings shouldn't ever be like that towards each other! Now, me and Acchan prepared breakfast, did you two want to join us?"

"...ah, that's probably a good idea." Emilia said in agreement. ...it's going to suck if we came all the way out here for nothing... well, maybe we can drop by the town for a bit if there's really nothing to do today... "C'mon, let's get going." she said, starting to head for information.

"There's a charms and disenchantments class...it says that mom is teaching it, I'm surprised that hasn't been changed yet, she's usually really thorough..." Leyka stated as she looked at a class schedule she found by information.

Are you just going to sit there in that couch? There's breakfast that you could have you know. It was made by oneesama's oneesan who is the bestest cook ever!

[PringlesXD]

Spoiler:

I won't be able to post anything until Monday, just letting you sexy things know.

Ciel opened an eye, and looked up at the ceiling, "Sounds good, but ti sounds...risky, coming from you" he said.

The masked man backed up to the window, and said "Alright,with out business concluded, I'll be taking my leave" he turned to Julius, and said "Be sure to find those students a room, I would feel terrible if they were to sleep in tents tonight". And with that said, he fell back, "Farewell." and fell through the window, disappearing from sight.

Richter had come back from the forest, parking his bike in the parking lot, letting out a sigh as he removed his goggles, but decided to leave on the jacket, as he felt a small chill. Disappointed that he couldn't find any trace of the manor back at the forest. Could it have burn down from yesterday's fight? he shook his head Couldn't be, there was no trace of any wreckage He got off, and began walking from the school, but he looked up noticing the ruckus up ahead. And there, he realized the group of masked people making reparations on the building. Oh No...
One of them had realized Richter's presence, and began to move, being followed by everyone else, as they lined up, and with a deep bow, they all shouted out "Welcome back, Young Master Richter!" Richter let out a sigh, "Oh god why?"

[JerichoDeath]

"it's fine, I'm just glad you two worked it out," Rin smiled, "siblings shouldn't ever be like that towards each other! Now, me and Acchan prepared breakfast, did you two want to join us?"

"Um, yeah. Worked it out..."
Selene nervously smiled.
"If that's really okay with you, then... we'll eat with you~"

"I hope there is food enough for all of us. We wouldn't want you to be hungry just to feed us too."
Naomi interjected, staying several paces away from Selene still.

"it's fine, I'm just glad you two worked it out," Rin smiled, "siblings shouldn't ever be like that towards each other! Now, me and Acchan prepared breakfast, did you two want to join us?"

"Um, yeah. Worked it out..."
Selene nervously smiled.
"If that's really okay with you, then... we'll eat with you~"

"We always make extra," Alana explained, "so there should be more than enough." She said with a smile.

[Empty Overture]

With this, I am capable of taking his Queen, but it is unlike Master to move in this manner. It must be a test.
Ekaterina ignored the sacrifice Queen, which would have opened her King to check, and instead, she placed her opponent's King in check with a Rook. Now, she was being recklessly aggressive, completely at odds with her earlier play-style. Perhaps, if she continued to switch her style, Ekaterina could increase her life expectancy in the game... though unlikely.

Ekaterina addressed the issue of Reikail before moving on.
"I feel compelled to thank you, Master."
Having addressed Reikail, Ekaterina searched her memory for something good to say.
"I believe that an appropriate quote would be: 'an unwinnable battle is not the same as a lost one'."

"Those are some very wise words." Pierce said with a chuckle. Interesting move... however, that rook... He moved his bishop right infront of the rook, blocking it's path. Daring to take out the bishop would put the rook in harms way, as another piece was sitting, ready to take it down. "I take it that you enjoy being in our service?" he asked.

"There's a charms and disenchantments class...it says that mom is teaching it, I'm surprised that hasn't been changed yet, she's usually really thorough..." Leyka stated as she looked at a class schedule she found by information.

"Well, maybe we can check it out? Maybe she's still here?" Emilia suggested. "It sounds like an interesting class either way." she stated.

[vampko]

"Well, maybe we can check it out? Maybe she's still here?" Emilia suggested. "It sounds like an interesting class either way." she stated.

"Yeah, it can't hurt to check it," Leyka agreed. The two of them made their way to where the classroom was and Leyka knocked on the door.

"It's okay to come in, the class won't be starting for another half hour or so," a very familiar voice called from inside.

Ciel opened an eye, and looked up at the ceiling, "Sounds good, but ti sounds...risky, coming from you" he said.

I was just trying to be nice since oneesama always scolds me for being mean to her friends.

"We always make extra," Alana explained, "so there should be more than enough." She said with a smile.

"I was hoping you would return Selene, so that's why I made sure we made enough for you and Naomi!" Rin added, "now, the chefs can only eat once the customers have started eating, so hurry up and start getting your food!"

Alana nodded in agreement, "Yes, dig in!" she insisted, "I'm... kinda hungry." she laughed weakly.

He sighed, "Fine, if you insist" he said, standing up, as he made his way into the kitchen, stopping shortly, as he looked up, and said, "Oh, all of you are here".

Richter glanced to the side, and found several students looking suspiciously to his direction, speaking beneath their breaths. Crap, these guys already think of me badly at it is... he turned away I'll just pretend I don't notice these guys he thought, as he walked away into the school building the eyes of his associates following him as he moved.

"Yeah, it can't hurt to check it," Leyka agreed. The two of them made their way to where the classroom was and Leyka knocked on the door.

"It's okay to come in, the class won't be starting for another half hour or so," a very familiar voice called from inside.

Emilia motioned Leyka to follow, as she opened the door. "Um, hi... again." she greeted upon entering the room.

"Mom!? Weren't you supposed to...go home?" Leyka said, shock on her face.

"Seriously? How hard is it to lie to Shana," Yun laughed. "So, you're going to take this class? Or were you just curious?" Yun questioned the two.

He sighed, "Fine, if you insist" he said, standing up, as he made his way into the kitchen, stopping shortly, as he looked up, and said, "Oh, all of you are here".

"Oh hi...person. Who are you?" Rin stared at the young man in confusion.

[Empty Overture]

"Mom!? Weren't you supposed to...go home?" Leyka said, shock on her face.

"Seriously? How hard is it to lie to Shana," Yun laughed. "So, you're going to take this class? Or were you just curious?" Yun questioned the two.

What do I say? ...um... Emilia scratched her head for a moment. "We... were just curious." she replied, sounding a little hesitant. Why'd I pause? ...maybe I'm nervous? "...it might be fun to take it though. What do you think, Leyka?" she asked. It's just Leyka's mom. ...oh, that's probably exactly why, now that I think about it...

[JerichoDeath]

Selene brightened with the food on the table (I assume that the food is on a table, with the bourgeois manor and all), and she sat as far away from Naomi as possible before beginning to eat.

Daring to take out the bishop would put the rook in harms way, as another piece was sitting, ready to take it down. "I take it that you enjoy being in our service?" he asked.

Ekaterina moved a bishop to aim around the blockage once more.
"Check."
If the bishop took her bishop, then her rook would have the opponent King in check still. So, her bishop was protected, she thought.

"Enjoy it, Master? I belong to you and your son. Serving your family is my- our raison d'être, reason for existence. Without the two of you to serve, we would have no reason to live. We are your property, your slaves, your toys, your lovers, your friends, and anything else that you require us to be. We will find pleasure in it if you wish us to, because what you say is law."

Interesting move... he programmed these girls better than I thought. "Hm. Quite a nice answer." Pierce commented. Absolutely anything? Hm. Perhaps I could get them to do more... They do seem quite eager to help out... perhaps I could train them to help with all of this blasted paperwork. It piles up way too fast... perhaps they'll even have a use during the tournament. She's providing a use right now... Heheh, Cero, this certianly was a better bargain than you made it out to be.

Pierce observed the board, and he noticed one miniscule flaw in Ekaterina's plan. He'd have to pull it now. He used the tactic known as castling and had his rook and king swap places, completely defending his king from all attack at the moment. "You appear to be improving." he complimented.

"Ah yes, I did have another question. Considering you two will be in our service for quite a long time, I was curious if there were any particular types of missions you prefered to do. I'm a successful man, and you don't reach this level without taking a few suggestions. So I'm open to any, if you have some."

[Rydux]

"Oh hi...person. Who are you?" Rin stared at the young man in confusion.

Ciel sighed, placing a hand on his brow, "Unbelievable, you torch my hair, go into frozen labs together, interrogate you regarding your 'special predicament',attend classes together, and you haven't had the decency to even memorized my face? You never cease to amaze me". He turned, and realized the presence of Selene and said, "Oh, hey Danger Girl," he glanced towards Naomi, "I take it you succeeded in saving your sister?" he asked her.

Richter wandered across the halls, thinking of te next class to attend "I guess I can attend Fortinbraz's class again, and get better at my reinforcement in whatever way I can" he muttered. He lowered his head and pondered, But getting stronger isn't the only issue here,I need to learn how to combat against mages...Richter then recalled meeting Rin's mother the previous day, and the subject she had taught. Her class my provide further insight... Having determined his next course of action, he looked forward and grinned, "Mrs. Lightfoot's class it is then~" he said cheerfully, and proceeded to walk.
