Isla saw Augustina nod as she showed her wristband to Isla. The map revealed that there was a giant circular room next to the where the Classroom was labeled Outdoors. It seemed that it connected Section Y with Z as well since they both could enter it from either side. Augustina shook her head sadly looking at it. "Yeah well, it's obviously not what we think it is. Probably some kind of greenhouse or something. Besides we're going to miss class if we visit it so don't think of anything stupid." Augustina warned, feeling as though Isla was thinking of something else. "Don't do anything stupid" She said poking Isla's forehead. The man watched Leon walk a few steps away before stopping him. This time his face was serious. He seemed to have been stalling until no one was near them. "Listen, Leon, I know that you think you're ready for what's going to happen, but trust me. You aren't. Just some advice that I wish I had when I was like you. Since you're going to class let me tell you this. When you see that bastard, only respond in a yes or no. Nothing more got it?" The man patted Leon's back before walking away after that. Markus nodded at Selena's comment. The whole reason for WhiteStorm is to make sure they could leave. By force, if it came to it. "You're right, every single possibility has to be thought out. Back up plans to our back up plans. I just hope we won't need them. That's why the more we have the better the chances of the plan working out. I recommend the Outdoors, by the way, Selena" Markus advised her as she left. Selena would leave the Pub, which was directly inside the Cafeteria. Where she wanted to go was her call. Nicole would see Markus stand up and head to the back of the pub after talking with Selena. He unrolled a poster he had inside his backpack and began to stare at it intensely. The poster had a whirlwind of drawings and words on top of each other that it felt like only Markus could understand it. Maybe that was his intention. He sighed as he rubbed his temples before turning to Nicole with the same tired eyes he always had. "Hey Nicole, could you come here for a second?" He called as he turned to the bartender and asked for a cocktail. "I still need to make sure that we can break the walls down. Mind testing this out for me?" Markus pointed to a sledgehammer he had placed next to him before the meeting started. "I don't see why that even matters. No way anyone can break it in time." Lulu said downing another drink. "Not even Sebastia could do it that fast." "Shut up." Markus groaned. "You up for it Nicole?"

What? Of course I won't do anything... But before that do you know where the bathroom is I need to go sooo I'll figure it out. Isla began to scoot away from Augustina and began to head to the Outdoors. If Augustina tried to stop her she would begin to sprint full speed with the will of a thousand cat's curiosity! Nothing can stop her!

Thanks for the offer, but uh... Let me think on it for a bit, aight? Sorry. Just quite a bit happening. Ha ha. *Gin would wait for the group to move from earshot before smirking and mumbling to himself.* Insecure, uh? Heh. That could be useful. As for now, I should head on to class. See whatother bullshit suprises this place has in store for me. *With that being said, Gin would head to his classroom.*

Selena closed the door, instead of walking away she went a bit back and supported the back of her head in the door, she then tilted her head a bit, she was thinking why she was doing this, but well, it was to late to ask herself that. She left the door and began to walk away, the smell of food was not something she wanted to smell right now, meanwhile, Markus' words were echoing in her head. "The outdoors...? It is a good place to search... I'm sure the juniors are now going to class. so probably is a good idea to look for them later, I hate to waste time, I must think how I spend my time wisely, for now I'll get moving before someone annoys me." When Selena left the Cafeteria she looked around, she wanted to check if there was someone nearby, then, she let out a sigh and began to walk to the Outdoors.

Nicole looks at the sledge hammer with some speculations about if it would work or not. He mumbled to himself for a moment, walking forward to the weapon and picking it up, checking it's weight before turning back to Markus. "Yeah." Said with such eloquence and simplicity to destroy anyone conversation happening with a fiery commitment.

Isla heard Augustina yell after her as she ran to the Outdoors. The wristband showed it being very near the classrooms. She would pass by other students headed there that turned their head from the fact in the sea of scared and afraid students one of them was so eager that they were actually running. That and the fact Augustina was yelling for her while chasing her. Isla would quickly find the doors labeled Outdoors. When she opened it the first thing to greet her was a fountain. A large one placed in the middle of the area, softly trickling drops of water off its bowls. The Outdoors Isla would see looked more like a city park. An artificial sky with the sun lined up with the time shined on the grass and sidewalk. Floating plants and statues hovered by scatted roughly eight feet in the air. It felt.. peaceful. Until the sounds of singing was heard. Isla would see a boy on the fountain she didn't notice before. He sang obliviously to the song his earphones produced. "I'm walking the long road~ watching the sky fall~ The lace in your dress! tingles my neck! how do I live~? THE DEATH OF A BACH-" The boy spun around, which caused him to see Isla. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A Selena made it to the Outdoors with no distractions beyond her friends A greeting her as she passed by. Once she opened the door, knowing the A familiar silence and peaceful of the Outdoors. It was truly the only place A where people can catch their breath and relax in th- A "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA This was the sound that welcomed her. The yell was coming from a boy standing on the fountain. He was yelling at a woman who was standing on the opposite side of Selena. Leon, followed by Gin, who was then followed by Jo, all walked into the classroom. They all saw the sight of students all scattered around awkwardly throughout the room. There were seats all placed around the back of the large room that faced the blank wall with a door on it. Almost every seat was occupied by a student. Gin recognized Jamil being the center of attention, doing his best to convince other students to help despite barely walking in. It was 8:00. A man slammed the door from the empty wall open. He had black messy hair and the beginnings of a beard. He dragged his eyes to everyone in the room. It was silent. "Before we begin..." He asked the classroom. "Would anyone like to leave?" He questioned in a tired voice. He waved his index finger making the wall behind him recess and then sink to the ground. Behind the man was now a ring. Like a literal boxing ring. "Unless you forgot to check your schedules, first class is P.E." Markus nodded at Nicole as he took a sip from his drink. He then turned to Nicole, who decided stand there holding the sledgehammer would satisfy Markus' curiosity. "Are... you gonna swing it?" Markus asked. "Maybe he doesn't know how since it's not a bat. His brain only things are a bat or not a bat." Lulu teased from behind the counter. "Come one, it's the same way as a bat." "Tell that to him" Lulu chuckled while finishing her beer. Markus looked at the poster. "I didn't account for you not being able to swing but just because you don't know how? Just swing it like your bat. Can you give it a try?" Markus asked pointing to the wall next to him.

Isla staggered back when he screamed. She was actually likely the song until he went full tilt and screamed. Is that a challenge! He can even scream through posts, that's a challenge! Isla drew a quick breath. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*Gin folded his arms as he looked at the ring. So we're fighting eachother, eh? He thought. As long as I'm not going first. Might be good to experience what lessons are like in this place. With that, Gin sticks around, holding his ground. If he was going to get any information on this place, he had no choice.*

"Swing..." Nicole.said as he looked at the wall then at his hammer. TUTORIAL When playing as Nicole he has the option of equipping 0ne of three melee weapons. They go as follows: Fist: Fasts weapon he has and has unlimited uses (most of time) but surprisingly weak. Bat: Personal favorite, the bat can deal heavy damage and strike relatively fast, however it can break with most cases. Sledge hammer: The strongest weapon in Nicole's arsenal, this hunk of metal can do he'll damage when hitting an opponent. If you can that is. Nicole can swing by simply pressing the X button. Try it on the wall over there. END TUTORIAL Nicole straighten up his back, twist his hips and swang at the wall.

While walking Selena waved to the others who saluted her, she just moved her head or ocassionally moved her hand, at first it was not a deal for her, but it was tiring at the end, anyways she was fine with it, it was better than being bullied. Her face slowly changed when she heard that yelling, she walked towards the fountain and she saw two persons who were yelling, Selena half closed her eyes and stared at them for a few seconds. *What kind of joke is this...? That boy and that girl shouldn't be here... And less doing that... I'm just impressed how annoying can they be... Now everyone is staring at then and I won't be able to do anything here... Ugh... Why this has to happen to me today...?* Selena walked towards the two persons and she clapped her hands two times to call their attention. *Ejem*, my apologies for interrupting... such an amazing comedy show, but I think it could be a good idea to stop doing that because you are starting to be really annoying, so if you can do a favor to our dear ears, please... Stop right now... Selena closed her eyes for a second and passed a hand near his right ear, she then stared at the two persons with a cold look.

Isla stopped screaming and looked at the woman behind the kid. Hey... Um, hello! Why have you stopped the screaming contest I was about to win?

Selena looked at the woman for a second before saying. You would feel proud after winning this...? You are very strange... Selena half-closed her eyes and looked down for a few seconds, she then looked up to the woman again, placed a hand on the fountain and looked at her own reflectilon in the water. Well, I'm not going to judge you in that point, sometimes, something that *stupid* can be important for someone, still, I have to say right now I wouldn't be able to do something like that, not since the day I arrived here. Selena looked at the fountain with sad eyes, she even used her other hand to touch her reflection like if she was trying to go to another world, without looking at the woman she continued talking. Past is past, or they ussually say, you can't change it, but you can learn from it or run away, but it is always there. Now she looked at the woman with the corner of her eye. My name is Selena, I'm not sure if you have heard about me, but I've been here for a while fighting and... surviving here, how long have you been here? if I can ask you.

Isla became happy that the woman was good like James and Auguestina. I am Isla! I just got here yesterday... I guess that means you are a senior?

Jo, Gin, and Leon would see roughly ten students leave the classroom, making the room only slightly more empty. The teacher yawned and looked over the students. "Hm? Still so many left? Alright then, I guess I'll have to thin the numbers." The man tightened his crooked tie and walked over to the ring. He snapped, making the ropes fly off and the stage extends to roughly 20 in all directions. "Let's get to know each other by playing a fun little game." The teacher then explained a game he liked to call King. It was easy; knock the teacher off the stage and you win. If he knocks you off the stage then you lose. If you lose then you have to give up a pint of your blood. Stepping on the stage means there is no turning back. Gin would see Jamil already walking towards the stage. Nicole would feel the wall cause his arms to vibrate from the force it kicked back. A loud crash rang throughout the pub. The wall had no scratch. Not even a scuff mark. Markus sighed while Lulu laughed at the attempt. "Told you, it's no use, there's no one alive that can break that wall in a minute. Better find another way." She remarked. "Why not get explosives?" A member in asked. "They don't sell anything strong enough to blast through the wall, it has to be brute force," Markus informed him. "Right now this is the most discreet way I know" Lulu simply chuckled and left the pub. Markus looked over his plans once again. "Thanks for trying Nicole, you can take the hammer if you want." He told him sighing. "Well, I'm Noah!" The boy told Selena and Isla. "Since we are introducing ourselves I thought I might join it. Selena, you look as sad as I remember ah-hahaha! And you there girl" The boy said letting his purple tipped black hair fall over his eyes. "Are a new face." He looked at the brand on Isla's hand. "A freshman huh?" "Isla! I... finally... *pant* caught up with you..." Augustina said opening the door behind her. She leaned heavily on Isla's shoulder. "Who... is... that... kid...?" "I'm Noah." "Hi Noah..." She said tiredly. "Aren't you supposed to be... *huff* in school?" "So are you." Noah told Augustina before turning to Selena. "And you too right? Or have you decided not to go?" Selena would still not recognize the boy.

Isla helped Augustina stay standing as she dragged her to the fountain. Once she made it there she pressed Augustina over the edge. You need some water, here let me help. Isla threw Augustina into the fountain.

*Gin looks at Jamil heading for the ring and chuckled.* King of the hill, is it? Heh. This place just loves games, don't they? *Gin puts his hands in his jacket pocket and starts heading for the ring.* But I have promises left to keep. And miles to go before I sleep. Gotta learn what I can and this is the best way to do it.

Selena let out a sigh, she was not in the mod to deal with a kid, but it was a kid so she was not going to be bad with him. Well, Noah, I'm just being serious right now, but I can understand the mistake because some people doesn't see the difference between being serious or being angry. Selena's attention turned to Agustina and Ita, she opened her eyes in surprise when she saw Ita throwing Augustina into the fountain, she was about to laugh, she covered her mouth but she couldn't help to let out a few chuckles. She quckly looked at Ita's eyes and whispered to her. You are a very brave woman to have done that, I think you've just done something what some people wish to do. Selena then changed her face to a less funny one, she placed her hands behind her head while looking away, she mumbled something about a volcano about to explode, but still she was calm and relaxed.

WEAPON OBTAINED: SLEDGE HAMMER. Nicole nodded as he mumbled to himself for a moment before walking away. "I'll go check on something to help." Nicole eyes narrowed as he pressed on. "Or someone." Nicole headed to the dorms.

Isla and Selena would both see Augustina slowly rise out of water dripping wet. Noah, who was currently finding trouble on how to breathe, was surprised at how calm Augustina was. She showed no emotion as she turned her body towards Isla. And pulled her inside the fountain. Noah exploded with more laughter until he slowly turned to Selena. His face now had a devilish grin on it. "Hey woman." he sang "care for a dip?" Without waiting for an answer he splashed Selena with water. "You too bastard!" Augustina yelled pulling Noah inside as well. Onlookers to the event simply ignored them or stared at them awkwardly. Nicole would hear Markus wishing him a goodbye as he left. It wasn't hard for Nicole to find the room he was looking for, after all unlike the others, it stood out for being the most plain of them all. Not so much as a scratch or name on the door. The room was labeled Y-3. A familiar door to Nicole. Gin, Jo, and Leon would see the entire class walk on top of the stage. The teacher would then stretch his arms in the air and yawned once again. The stage had enough room for each person to stretch at least. "Alright!" He yelled. "Get ready! And star-" "Hold on, hold on!" A man said running into the classroom and stopping in next to Gin. That man was Marc. "What the hell is happening? I just got out of the infirmary and- AH" The teacher darted towards Marc, but missed by inches from him swiftly dodging. Gin felt the wind from the teacher's inhumanly fast movement. However, while Marc managed to dodge, the student behind him wasn't so lucky. The teacher rammed his elbow into the student's ribcage, making everyone hear a painful pop as they flew two feet in the air and onto the hard ground with a grunt. A clear tube shot down from the ceiling and stabbed the student as soon as he hit the ground, taking presumably a pint of crimson fluid from them. "Start" To keep things running smoothly and fast I'll update as soon as Gin, Jo, and Leon post and only mention them until the game is done, everyone else sit back and watch.

You are really unlucky, huh Marc? *Gin would watch the teacher, stepping back behind a few students, preparing himself in case he charged at him. He would be watching for any sort of mistep in the teachers movements or any moment he left himself open.*

The teacher movement caused almost everyone to freeze in shock and fear, which only highlighted Jo and Leon's movements. The teacher snapped his fingers as if an idea came to mind. "Oh yeah! I forgot, the students that finished the obstacle course are here aren't they? Yeah I remember..." He scanned his eyes over the scared students. "I think I saw them, it was over th-" A student charged at him, slamming his fist into the teachers chin. The student stepped back, obviously shocked that it worked. "Jamil right?" The teacher asked. Before he could react the teacher grabbed his wrist and hurled him outside the stage. A tube promptly shot down and took it's prize. "I wished I stayed there." Marc whined as the teacher's eyes glowed when he charged to another student sending him to the ground below. He turned to take down the next one when he noticed Leon. "Oh, you're one of them right?!" The teacher's eyes once again glowed as he shot forward at an alarming rate towards him.

*Hmm. Teach is sturdy. He's not going to budge for any regualr attack, especially from me. Perhaps then a team attack would work better. Gin thinks. Slowly, he steps to the side a few times, trying to position himself behind a group of students.*

Leon barely managed to dodge the teacher's attack, so close that Leon would feel the teacher's fist fly by him. The teacher nearly fell off the stage when Leon unexpectedly dodged. "Pretty fast aren't we?" He laughed while yawning. His eyes slowly began to glow as he focused on Leon. "Hey Gin" Marc whispered. "His eyes glow before he does that dash thing. You think if we can stop him before he shoots off we might be safe?" He asked.

Probably some sort of special maneavour. Like those blood thorns from yesterday. If that's the case. *Gin glances at Marc* I've got a plan. A group charge after he's stopped from that dash might allow us to push him out. A simple dodge and counter strategy. But we need strength and numbers. *Gin scratches his chin in thought.*

Marc's face lit up at Gin's plan. "It sounds good, but we need more than just two people..." Marc looked around the room and then locked eyes with Jo "He looks like he also has a plan." Marc began to run to Jo, asking for help and explaining Gin's plan. Leon would see students fly off the stage as he ran through the crowds of students, making the teacher attack randomly throughout the stage. Curtains of tubes rained from the ceiling as they attacked each student for their side of the game. A man would grab Leon's shoulder, tightening his grip. Leon then recognize that man as the one at the rope trap. The man one who passed out. His eyes burning with fury, he threw himself and Leon out of the cover of the crowd. The teacher was already mid-charge at the students.

Hm? Who's this? Jo would listen to the man that walked up to him and then silently agree. "It sounds good, but we still need one of us to distract him or else it won't matter. But which one of us..." Jo then saw the teacher charge at two men. Perfect. "Charge now!" Jo followed the teacher from behind, waiting for him to finish his charge before pushing him, hopefully off the stage.

*Gin would watch Jo assault the teacher.* A bit pre-emptive, but I'll take what I can get. *Gin would nod at Marc before running in to help Jo in shoving the teacher off the stage.*

Leon would feel an ungodly amount of force delivered in a kick from the teacher knock the air out of him mid-roll. The man holding Leon would also fly off the stage and land on the marble floor. A tube slithered from a hole in the ceiling and struck Leon before he regain his balance. It took a pint from him and the man. Leon would feel his conscious fade away, replaced with laughter from all directions. Jo would see the teacher only a few feet from the edge of the stage after the charge. The teacher barely turned around when Jo and Marc shoved him. The students held their hands over their mouths when they did this, even more when Gin joined in. The teacher was knocked back to the very edge of the stage. The tips of his unpolished dress shoes keeping him on. "Keep going!' Marc yelled as they pushed the teacher inch by inch off the stage. It felt like pushing a wall. That was until Marc looked up at the teacher. "Brats" The teachers mumbled. It had only been five seconds but his eyes began to glow again. The teacher braced himself to push back. "Run!" Marc yelled as he turned around and ran to the right.

Leon cursed the man out in his head with every foul word he knew as he hit the ground. His head heard the laughter suddenly coming out of nowhere. "Who the fuck... is laughing?" Leon said weakly.

Crap... *Gin dodged right and back, attempting to put distance and, more importantly, bodies between him and the teachers, mumbling in annoyance.* That would've worked if people would have given us a hand. Teamwork people. Now he's gonna be more careful.

The teacher laughed charged once again. Gin would feel the rush of air from the teacher's dash, but it didn't touch him. Gin then saw the teacher fly by him, a piece of cloth in his hand. It was at moment Gin realized it was his scarf. Gin felt his neck nearly snap as the teacher flung him to the side. Luckily some students "caught" him making him landing harshly on the stage, only a foot from the edge. More tubes struck down from the students' sacrifice. "Gin!" Marc yelled rushing to him. "Are you ok? Oh shit you might have concussion..." Leon would then hear the laughter stopping all at once, a man appearing in front of him. The Butler; Leon would recall. He pushed his index finger over his lips. Leon woke up. The man who grabbed him was also just regaining consciousness.

Leon held his head in hands feeling like he had a hangover. "Ugh, my sides hurt... you!" Leon grabbed the man by the collar. "What the fuck do you think you are doing? You trying to get us..." Leon let go beginning to feel light headed. "Who the hell are you?" He said weakly.

Ok, looks like we need more people if we are going to pull that plan off... but will he let us? He definitely won't let that chance happen, we need bait. Jo walked over to Gin and Marc. "Hey, you still alive?" I need as many people as I can get if I like my blood where it's at. Jo began to look for anymore willing people to help.

Fine *Gin manages to groan out as he struggles to his feet.* Ugh. Knew I should've taken that off. Still, this is annoying. I'm not quite sure we can pull this off. *Gin glances around the arena to see who's left while preparing to dodge the teachers next attack.*

The man growled when Leon touched man and shot him a death glare. "You don't remember me? Yesterday, there were you and two people on that rope... then you jumped off it and the rope snapped. Then there were you, and me at the end of that rope." He turned to the stage and watched as the teacher charged at more students. Jo would only see the chaos of the students remaining running around like headless chickens, slowly being picked off one by one. The teacher wasn't charging as frequently as before, taking out most students with throws and regular attacks. Gin would notice that of the 30 or so students at the beginning of the stage there were only 15 left.

Half of the orginal number is left. If we're going to try and take them out, we'll need to do it now, but I don't think they'll listen. They are all way to timid. *Gin looked at Jo.* Any ideas?

"Oh..." Well this is akward. I mean I didn't think this would ever come up again... "Listen, I'm sorry. I didn't know the rope would snap and in my head it was either you or me. Wouldn't you have done the same thing? I mean I wouldn't push you in front of the teacher because you killed my friend, but I feel like, maybe we can understand each other? What's your name?"

Jo looked at Gin and pondered the question with what they knew so far. A plan then came to mind. It's a million year trick but it might work if we play our cards right, and it doesn't need that many people. "He can't control his speed. Maybe we don't have to push him off the edge... what if he does it to himself?" Jo looked at Gin and Marc for feedback.

Hmm. That might actually work. But we need a lure if we're gonna have him take himself out. He also needs to be at least somewhat close to the edge. *Gin hums in thought before nodding.* Yeah. Alright then. Let's see how this plays out.

The man grit his teeth. "She wasn't my friend she was my sister idiot!" He yelled at Leon. He then turned back to the stage, his lips quivering as if on the verge of tears. "And you killed her..." He said said mostly to himself. Marc nodded while listening along, his face looking grim as he understood. "But, to make a plan like that work, someone needs to act as bait right? No way they can dodge it in time and look" Marc pointed to the stage. Only 10 people left. "It's obvious he's saving us for last because of the stunt we pulled... We need to act fast, if we are the last ones standing when we do the plan we are bound to fail, he won't bother dashing. We need to make him charge. He won't ever do it if it's just us."

Jo agreed with Marc. We can't wait until the last second, we need to pull this off now... But how can we organize that many people so fast? Not like there's anyone that persuasive here...Jo remembered the beginning of class. That guy, he was surrounded by students when we walked in... he might be able to help get people to help. Jo looked to the edge of the stage to find him. "Hey do you guys know about the man who got thrown off the stage second? The one that hit the teacher first?"

Oh god this is even more akward... "Hey listen, I know it's hard, believe me, but what is hurting me and yourself going to do? Is that what your sister would've wanted?" Leon said trying to persade the man.

Jamil? Hmm. I suppose he could help. *Gin would go back to watching the teacher, just to make sure he wouldn't attack while they were planning.*

"Jamil?" Marc asked. "Do you know him?" The teacher would glace at them but only chuckle as he kicked another student out of the ring. It was clear he didn't see them as a threat. Jo would then see Jamil, he was staring at the stage with cold sweat around his face. He looked terrified at what he was seeing. There were only 8 students left The man didn't say anything to Leon, he stared at the stage. After while he turned slowly to Leon. "No... she would've wanted me to throw you off a cliff" He said chuckling sadly.

"Woah... she sound amazing. I mean I probably woudn't want the person who killed me to live a happy life heh... but I don't think I would want my brother getting revenege for me. If I had one at least." Leon said looking at stage. "wow they are getting their asses kicked." Leon saw another student fly by. "Say goodbye to that guy's baseball career."

Another 6 down since we last counted. You may wanna hurry. Just a suggestion *Gin continues to watch the rest of the arena in case the teacher charges them*

Jo paused at looked at Gin "If you know him better than us than can you convince him to tell the people left on the stage to help us? The more the merrier." But what Marc said is right... we need to force him to dash... but how damn it...

We met once in the corridor before class. He asked me to join his gang. I turned him down. That's as much as I know about him. I'm good with observation, but I'm not the best with words. You'll probably be able to convince him easier.

"Alright, I'll try my best..." Jo turned towards Jamil and waved to him in order to grab his attention. "Hey Jamil, you want to see that teacher lose? Get as many people to help us and we'll make it happen! You have to trust us! What can you lose?!" I hope this works, if not we will have to wing the plan.

Jamil frowned when he heard Jo's plan. He thought about for awhile before smiling. "Ok! But if I do you have to join my gang, win or lose!" He proposed. There are only 6 students left, including Jo, Gin, and Marc. A chuckled escaped the man's lips before he manged to cover his mouth. He absolutely refused to show Leon any sign of weakness. "She is amazing... she was..." Once again the dead tone of the man returned as he stared into nothing.

What? Seriously? Jo looked at the remaining people left. Only three people left to join our side... That's still better than nothing! "Ok! I'll join so tell them to help!"

3 left guys. If we're going, we have to do it now or it'll just be us three. *Gin grits his teeth.*

Leon stared at the man before sighing and returning his glaze back to the stage. "My name is Leon, by the way. You don't have to tell me yours, but you have a right to know mine."

Jamil smiled and turned to the group before shouting: "Hey Ashley, Fifi, Matthew, listen to those guys if don't want to be punch off the stage! Trust me!" The three remaining students hesitated for a few moments until they ran towards Gin, Jo, and Marc. "W-what's the plan?" Fifi asked still shaking. The teacher simply watched while smiling. His eyes wide with excitement over what he thinks is going to happen. The man nodded in response. He once again paused a few moments as if for dramatic effect before speaking. "My name is Fern. Not that you have any right to know, I just thought you should"

Finally. *Gin mumbles before looking over at Jo.* Now we're all together, what's the game plan?

Leon smiled before looking to the ground. "You don't have to tell me, but what was your sister's name? If you don't want me to know I won't mind." Leon said with a calm tone, almost forgetting what was hapening on the stage.

Jo looked at the teacher and grit his teeth. he's mocking me "Here's the game plan. He won't attack first, look at him. He's waiting for us to strike. But we won't. I want all of us to form a circle around him. Make sure you are the same distance away from him at all times no matter how he moves. He pushes you close to the edge, go closer to the person next to you. Keep doing this until he finally charges. You'll know when his eyes light up. If your the one he is staring at when his eyes glow, throw yourself to the side. And if we are luckily enough, he might throw himself off the stage. If not, everyone, shove him. With your entire weight. If we don't get him out of the ring in five seconds we might as well jump off the stage. Any objections?"

The teacher did nothing as they group surrounded him. He did however looked curious as to what was happening. No one had objected to Jo's plan. Though Matthew didn't seem confident, he followed because he couldn't think of anything better. The teacher waited five minutes for them to attack. He took two steps forward, the group took two steps back. Knowing the trend that was happening, he became annoyed at how boring the plan was. "Really? Your plan is to make me give up?!" He yelled jumping to conclusions. "Well" He smirked while his eyes glowed. "Catch up with this." He dashed towards Ashley, who somehow mistaken dodging with freezing in place and taking a fist to the stomach. Her body spun off the stage and was followed by a tube to reap the rewards. The teacher slid to a halt only a foot from the edge. "Get him!" Fifi yelled leading the charge. Fern looked at the stage. He sighed, still not turning to Leon. "Her name is- what the hell?!" He yelled seeing the teacher only a foot away from them, right on the tip of the edge with 4 students pushing him.

It worked! Um, well except for Ashley... well win some lose some. Jo charge and threw all his weight into pushing the teacher off, he was aiming for the legs. Get off you bastard! "Keep shoving!"

"Oh damn they're actually doing it!" Leon looked at the sight in front of him, still feeling the ache from where the bastard kicked him. "Fern maybe we shouldn't be this close...?"

*With a smirk, Gin would charge in as well.* Don't relent! We can do this!

Once again the man would find himself only inches away from the edge. "You think..." He growled. "This would work this time?! Have you not learned?!" The man's eyes lit up in fury as he took a defensive stance, still being pushed inch by inch. Fern nodded and backed away from the scene. "But.. they are so close and... his eyes... they're glowing, just before he kicked us they did that. Oh no, they are going to lose!" He cried seeing what was happening.

Jo felt his muscles burning beyond their limit, but he kept pushing. He saw the man's eyes began to glow, but he kept pushing, He knew that they weren't going to make it, but he kept pushing. I am going to go out fighting it damn it! "Keep! Shoving!"

No stopping now! Dig in your heel and push! *Gin kept pushing, gritting his teeth.*

The man laughed as he moved his arms ready to dash. However, that was until he felt something grab his collar and pull him from the other side. "What the f-" His balance was completely thrown off, pushing and pulling from outside the stage had caught him off guard, causing him to finally tip over and fall. However, since everyone was pushing with all their weight Marc, Gin, Jo, Fifi, and Matthew all fell with him, and on top of Leon. Everyone was off the stage. "... So does this mean we all lost?" Fern asked.

*Gin stands up, straightwning out his scarf and shrugs.* He hit the ground first. I'd that makes us the victors of this game.

Oh... didn't really think about what would happen if he actually fell... Jo rolled off the pile the bodies and looked around. Well we didn't lose, but did we win? "Does this count?" Jo asked the teacher.

"Can you... cough... please get off?" Leon said barely awake from the weight on top of him.

Everyone rolled off of Leon and stared at the teacher waiting for an answer. He looked pale and scared, as if waiting for something to happen. He began mumbling to himself. "That fucking founder making them randomly timed just so we don't abuse our power, yeah well fight fear with fea-" Two tubes shot from the ceiling and injected themselves into the teacher's back. He screamed for a few seconds until the tubes retreated. He then regained his composure and stared at the students. "Yeah..." The teacher gasped. "Yeah... you win..." He collapsed on the floor before looking up. "You there" he pointed at Gin. "That was a good plan you had at the beginning, would've worked if you had more people. And you, trench coat guy, you plan worked really well, but if it wasn't for the other guy it wouldn't have failed. You guys have potential, but you still have a way to.. go.. how about this? Classes are dismissed early... I'm going for a smoke... after you guys leave."

Jo took a while to accept the teachers lecture. He has a point. I think at this school, if it's always like this... will my desired really be fulfilled? Well, I guess I'll find out. Jo thanked the students that helped him and walked over to Jamil. "Alright, I'll keep my side of the deal. I'll join your gang." Please don't be something stupid, kinda had enough of people this day...

"Heh, no need to thank me" Leon said, hoping someone would thank him. But before that he turned to Fern. "Hey, you never finished what your sister's name was. I mean it's fine if you don't, but if you're ok, then can I hear it?"

Right. Thanks for the advice *Gin nods at the teacher before heading out of the classroom. I could've told you that, captain obvious. Still, seems like Jamil and Jo might have their uses after all. With a smirk, Gin would have a walk around the school grounds.*

Isla laughed looking at the people inf front of her. What was I doing again...? Then it hit her like a brick. Oh yeah! I forgot we still have classes! Come on Augustina! Isla tried to leave the fountain, shivering from the fact her clothes were wet, but she could just change later. She would help Augustina out of the fountain if she needed it. Bye Selena and Noah! I'll see you later!

Nicole looked at the door with little intent as he knocked on it for his normal greetings. "You still alive?" Nicole says to Dedham through the door.

Selena heard Noah who was about to push her, she had time to react but instead of that she let him push her to the fountain, she fell to the water and looked up. For a few seconds... She felt confortable, and part of her didn't want to leave the water... But she slowly shaked her head and left the water and the fountain. Very funny. Selena prepared and moved her head in a way that made her ponytail move quickly and it splashed a lot of water around, she then looked at Isla leave. Later. *well, and that happened... I'm not going to be able to do anything here... For now I'll find some place I can be calm, maybe I'll train or whatever I feel like to... Selena also began to walk away, without turning to Noah she moved her hand a bit to say him good bye. For now Selena would try to find a calm place she could relax.

Jo would see Jamil's face light up as he flung his arm around him. He began to walk to the door as he talked. "Oh, it's amazing! You know those resistance things you see on mid evil shows yeah? Well, it's like that but better! No way I'm going to let my rib-cage get fractured again that's for sure, so hold your head up high, you are now apart of WhiteStorm!" "It's a club by the way." A man behind Jamil joined in. "Aye, thanks for reminding me Jace. So you can't join any other clubs ok?" Jamil opened the door, squinting at what he saw. Isla dragged Augustina out onto the cold air and to class; leaving a trail behind them. The classes were fairly close to the Outdoors, so they would have no trouble finding it. Just getting in. "What the hell?" Augustina said looking at the scene. Gin found that heading anywhere was impossible. A blockade had formed right outside the classroom. Other students were also just as confused at what they saw. A group of students was blocking the way. They formed a perfect line, blocking all the students who tried to leave. They all wore matching blue and black uniforms. Behind the line was a woman sitting on a throne held up by other students. She wore a dress along with a crown. Her eyes lazily wandering across the students until the last one came out. She finally sat up and spoke in a loud commanding voice. "Greetings peons! I, Robyn Gomez, have an announcement! I have spent all day yesterday organizing a party to welcome you all! This will become a chance to get used to how things work around here! Go on ask questions! Get wasted! Live a little! It might be the only opportunity for a long time." She sat there waiting for everyone else's reactions. "It will be held at the gym by the way!" Nicole once again heard no answer from Deshawn for a few moments. The sounds of shuffling broke the silence as Nicole received an answer. "Yeah?" Deshawn said quietly. "I'm still breathing" Noah watched Selena walk away as he laid back down to the fountain. "I can't wait~" He began to sing. "For the day~! That. Sword. Breaks." Selena would find the peacefulness of the library relaxing enough to calm down in. The door scanned her wristband as she walked in. The librarian welcomed her when she passed by, offering to answer any questions about the knowledge she held. And also the books behind her.

So much for the library. *Gin muttered before stepping forward.* Excuse me? Yeah, uh, Miss Gomez? So sorry for interrupting but, uh... ah ha ha... your, uh, peons. They're kinda in the way. So, your majesty, if you could order them to move, we would be greatful. *Gin bows his head slightly, hiding a slight smirk.*

"I wanna ask you something." Nicole said blankly. "Can you break down a wall for us?" Nicole mumbled to himself and spoke again. "Also hi."

What? Is that a... queen? And a party?! Why are there uniformed people blocking the way? Wait, are they working for her!?? LIKE A REAL QUEEN!! Hey there! I'm Isla! Um, when is the party going to start? Isla yelled from behind her, trying not stutter because of how cold it is.

WhiteStorm? I thought it was his own gang but it looks like this one has been around from the way he's talking, only our second day too. Jo walked outside the door to see the woman and the blockade she formed with the students. Are those students really holding up her chair, and a crown? Someone is a little late to be going through a phase in their life. But a party does sound interesting. "So Robyn, tell us why you decided this way was better? And were you waiting for us? If class didn't end early you'd be here for hours you know."

The library was a perfect place to stay a bit calm, she waved a bit to the librarian while walking around the shelves, she was passing the other hand over the cover of the books, she stopped next to one of them, touching it and pointing to the title, she was about to pick it, but she decided to leave it. *I'll look around for a bit, I've already done my daily trainning so is fine to spend a bit of time with calm, the calm is something very hard to find here, so I'l enjoy each instant of it.* For now Selena will walk around the library watching the books to see if there were one that could be worth to read.

The woman smiled obviously enjoying the attention she is getting. She raised her hands and closed her eyes as if saying this has happened hundreds of times before. "Now now I know you are eager to talk to me but one at a time, please? As unfortunate as it is for you I can not answer all your questions at once." She pointed towards Gin, talking pride at the manner he spoke to her. "Ah yes, my subjects have been ordered to guard me when I came in case any wild fans aren't satisfied with just my presence as anyone should. I will remove them after the announcement. Please wait..." She looked at everyone. "Maybe an hour. You know how excited people get when I am here." She then pointed to the next person. "Think we can just break through?" Marc joked suddenly appearing next to Gin. Isla saw Robyn roll her eyes when she told her name but looked happy when she asked the time of the party. Like she was waiting for that specific question. "Yes yes, Isla is it? Don't expect me to remember it though I have far too many people trying to get on my good side. As for the time..." She turned her head to the crowd of slightly annoyed people. "The party will start at 21:00! And..." She reached into her breast pocket before throwing a handkerchief at Isla. It was rose gold colored with the drawing of a yellow raindrop at the tip. "Get yourself dry. I will excuse the way you have presented yourself to me due to my coming unannounced." Isla would see that the size of the handkerchief was barely enough to get her face dry. Augustina laughed, somehow amused at this. Jo would see Robyn pointing at him before hearing his question. However, she didn't like the tone in his voice. She narrowed her eyelids, glaring at him for a solid minute. Jamil sighed lifting his arm off of Jo's shoulder. "Christ I just want to get you to the Pub. Why is that so hard t-" "You there," Robyn said coldly. "Do you assume I do not have the patience to sit still a few measly hours? I chose this way for it shows the basic skills someone such as myself would require to be...me. Next question" She said turning to another student. "Might've gotten on her bad side yeah?" Jamil said chuckling.

Leon would see Fern look down, his eyes swirling with emotions Leon couldn't understand. Fern looked at Leon after a brief moment. "Faust," He said finally. "Her name is Faust. We were twins. We were so excited to get here. BlackRain college; go there and you can be anything you want; no matter how impossible... I don't blame you, Leon. The truth is she was already dying. That's the reason we both went here. She had stage three stomach cancer... we thought by attending this school we could find a cure... but it was all a lie. Even with the medicine, she could pretend to be doing well for another five years before the effects started showing. She would've kicked the bucket anyway." Fern stood up, his eyes firm with resolve. "But I won't. Teacher! Tell me, how did you charge like that? How do you use your ability like those other guys?" The teacher paused from pulling out a slim black cigarette. He then chuckled biting into it. "What? You think I'm like them? A Deadman? " He laughed flicking the tip of the cigarette, making it flare blue. "Why the hell do you think they would put one of you monsters in charge? A monster in charge of other monsters? Don't make me laugh." He blew out a puff of smoke that disappeared quickly and left no stench. Nicole would once again hear nothing but silence to his question. However, after a few moments of silence Deshawn answered. "What the hell are you talking about? A wall? Why break it down? Why me? Stop bothering me. Stop...? Also hello. I won't do it." He said firmly. "Unless you tell me why." Selena would see books about multiple subjects, everything from history to comic books. However something stuck put to her, or rather a book stuck out to her. It was mostly due to the fact that it wasn't pushed in like the other books, as if someone had read it recently. The book also had a leather rustic cover. If Selena grabbed it she would see it labeled simply "The Girl in the Crystal." There was no author. No summary on the back. The title wasn't even on the spine of the book. The librarian seemed to already forget Selena was there.

Jo narrowed his eyes when he saw the attitude that woman spoke to him. Queen? Really? She thinks of herself as a queen but there's already a certain person named one. This imposter... "Kinda funny, a woman acting more like a queen than the true Queen herself right, fake?"

Isla took the handkerchief and used it to wipe her face, making sure to use it in the most respectful way she could think of. Um, thank you! I'll remember your name for sure! And I'll give it back to you I promise! She looked at Augustina after she yelled at Robyn. Wait why are you laughing?

"I'll explain more at the PUB. Come on, I'll take you to breakfast." Nicole said in a monotone voice. "It'll all make sense soon."

Leon paused hearing what Fern had to say and sharing his enthuisam. That was until he heard what the teacher said. "What do you mean? Are you saying normal people can just fling full grown men ten feet with enough training?"

*Gin looks over at Marc* God, she's concieted. I wonder if she makes enough noise the teach will come and move them. Something tells me breaking through them isn't gonna work to well, but If you try, I'll be right behind you.

Selena stopped and looked the book for a few seconds, it was in a different position from the others, she slowly picked it and read the tittle. The Girl in the Crystal... Selena read the tittle, she first looked around just moving her eyes to make sure she was alone, then, but still ready for anything, she opened the book and began to read it.

Jo would see the woman and her followers tense up. She darted her eyes to him. They almost seemed to glow like the teacher's, but it was fury that fueled those eyes. "Oh shit," Jamil said appropriately. The students in uniforms that were blocking the way now surrounded Jo and Jamil. "Ah shit not the first time I'd fight my way out of a few coppers, get ready Jo" Robyn raised her hand as if about to give the kill order. But she never brought it down. "A certain woman" had pushed the throne Robyn was sitting on, making the students that carried it tilt over. Unfortunately, she jumped off the chair before it hit the ground. "Who dares to p-" Robyn stopped dead in her tracks seeing the woman in front of her. "Yo red Robyn" The Queen taunted looking over to Jo. "Hey, I heard class was canceled early! Wanna throw food at the robots in the cafeteria??" Isla would find that half-way through Augustina calming down her laughter she exploded once again seeing the someone push Robyn's throne down. You know with her on it. After a few minutes, she finally calmed down enough to talk. "She...hehe, reminds me of my big sister when we were little. Acting like a queen and stuff. I remember even pushing her off her plastic chair. Not that it mattered since she stacked it on top of ruined books like an idiot... but I still bowed to her..." Her eyes seemed at that moment distant and far away, but she snapped out of it quickly. "Man I'm hungry. Haven't eaten anything since I woke up, want to see what's the cafeteria is all about?" Gin would see Marc brace himself for charging, only a few moments away from doing so. Then the students blocking the way recessed when both Gin and Marc saw Robyn fall. "The hell... wait this is our chance! We can escape! Where are you planning to go? I'm going to get some food. All that moving around in class works up an appetite." Marc said beginning to walk to the cafeteria. Leon saw the teacher once again give out a loud chuckle before bringing the cigarette to his lips. "Nah I'm definitely not normal. But not like you guys at least. Judging from your clothes and faces you aren't really up to date with technology huh? Not that it matters, this place has things that are said to not come out for the next 10 years." He laughed blowing a smoke ring out of his mouth. "Nanobots," Fern said looking at the teacher dead in the eye. "You must have had nanobots injected you into right?" "...looks like you know your way around. What's your name?" "Fern Graham" "Graham eh? Makes sense now. What about you?" The teacher asked nodding at Leon. Nicole heard the sounds of what seemed like chuckling coming from Deshawn. The sound of something falling hard on the ground rang throughout Nicole's ears. "...ok" Deshawn said opening the door. Before Nicole could say anything he grabbed him by the collar and whispered in his ear. "I'm not going. Not until I get a reason. But for now, I can at least tell you this if you are still planning to escape... in the cafeteria, after closing hours, I saw one of the Ichors walk in and out right in front of me without the alarm being set off... Yuki I think, the fourth one. I couldn't get a good look but I think I saw a light before she walked out. Must've been some kind of passageway. Be careful around her. She can be anywhere." He pushed Nicole back and closed the door.

Selena would crack open the book to see something pop out. The picture that is. It was a pop-up book. She began to read it. The page had a drawing of a mansion on top of a hill popped out on cardboard. Inside one of the windows was a girl's head looking down below at the ground. This is a tale of a sad little girl in a big mansion. Her sister and family couldn't help her, for she wanted to go outside! Page 2: The page popped out the drawing of a father figure wagging his finger at the sad little girl But her family wouldn't let her. She was different they said. The family was different. For they didn't bleed red. Page 3...: The page popped out the drawing of the same mansion on top of a hill. However this time the little girl was running away, descending down the hill After days and weeks and years! She could bear it no longer! The little girl made a daring escape in the middle of the night, heading into the Slums that she stared at every day. Page 6?: The page popped a drawing that looked as though it was done by a child. It was the little girl crying and holding her knee. It looked as though she scrape it. A man whose face was scratched out was walking towards her clearly annoyed. However, as daring as she was, she was not ready for how steep the hills were. She fell and scraped her knee badly! If not given proper aid she could die! A man heard her cries and decided to help. But by the time he got there her wound was already gone. The only evidence of it being there was the blood and the girl's still crying face. Page 32: The man took her hand, a smile growing. Selena could've sworn his smile grew as she turned the page. His scratched out eyes seemed to calm the girl's cries "Why does a beautiful girl such as yourself cry? Please do tell me so I can make it better. Please, tell me what you desire." Page H: The little girl wiped her tears and looked at the man. A voice almost seemed to read out the words directly into Selena's ears. Whispering them. Too low to point them out. If Selena turned around she would see no one there. Not next to her but anywhere near her. The background students, even the librarian who never leaves, was nowhere to be seen. The voice continued to read to Selena. "I want to go to the Slums!" She cried innocently "I want to have 100 friends!" Page E: The man's smile grew ever so bigger. He pointed to her blood. She bled purple. "Of course you can. However not the way you are now. As you can see, you bleed purple, and the other kids don't. You are not normal." Page L: The little girl began to cry once again after hearing the man's words. "Please help me! I want to be normal! I don't want this!" Page P: The man's face was no longer scratched out. He was bowing to the girl, who was now standing tall with a broad smile. The whispering next to Selena seemed to grow stronger and stronger, more of them talking and not in sync. Selena couldn't look away, as if hundreds of invisible hands were forcing her head and eyes to stay exactly the way they were. "Of course. I will help you." "Really!? You'll do anything?" "Yes, but for a small price we can discuss later." "Oh like one of my butlers in my mansion! You sound a lot like them um... what's your name?" "Ah-haha! I quite like what you said. Please... call me the Butler" "Ok! Let's get started!" "Of course..." The man then turned his head fully motioned towards the reader as the pages had a life of its own. Did you enjoy the story, Selena?

Jo waved back at the Queen and then pointed at Jamil. Of all people, well I guess now I can pass. However news must travel fast if word of class being canceled spread that quickly. I should probably be careful about what I do and who sees it. Most likely won't be long for the entire school to know what I am doing if I don't. "Sorry I'm going to a club after this. Maybe later."

A lot of info being thrown around. I should try and catch as much as I can. "Hey hold. I haven't exactly been reading the newpapers so can you help me out a bit. Why is the Graham family special? And what about nanobots? Why do you have them?"

*Gin frowns slightly.* Yeah. I suppose. Come on then. *Gin makes to move past Robyn and her entarage.* Cafeteria sounds good, now I think about it. I haven't eaten this morning. The Library ain't going anywhere. Well, actually, with this place, it might. *Gin chuckles a bit at his own joke. He glances at Robyn as he makes his way forward, before looking back to Marc. A false royal. Probably just wants to be noticed. I might be able to use that.*

Isla felt like asking her more about her sister but it probably wasn't good for Augustina or Isla to hear that or talk about it. But Isla's stomach did growl when she mentioned food. I completely forgot about that. Yeah! I wonder what they serve? I hope it's edible at least, for my stomach's stake.

"..." Nicole mumbled to himself, recalling what he knew about Yuki. He never really knew her..erm him? It? It. He never really knew them. They always act like more than one person. Muilt-personalities? Nicole scoffed at the idea. "Thanks." He said walking back to the PUB.

Selena didn't reacted to that drawing, she just blinked like she always does and with a calm tone she whispered. I have to say is a good history, however, I feel this is related to something of Blackrain, I can see this really happened and you wanted to show it to me, that means: A): you are just in front of me, inside that book, or B): you are just some kind of magic but *you* are not here at all, but answering to your question I liked it. However don't think bad, I like it, but I don't like at all what happened to that girl expecially because I don't have all the information I would like to have, but I guess I just have to find it. But I also feel you wanted to show me this, a book diferently colocated than the others, it was yelling to be read. well, what do you have to say Butler? Selena was looking at the man of the book, she was calm but ready to anything he could try, if he was even thinking on drag her into the book she was ready in case he would try that.

Gin and Isla headed to the cafeteria. When they stepped in they saw what was to be expected, students sitting at tables enjoying their food. Just eggs and bacon, nothing extravagant. Gin would see a robot pop from the floor. It had human-like features but its skin was solid white. "Would you like the standard breakfast or the special?" It asked in an emotionless voice. Neither male or female. "Um, what's the special?" Marc asked. "The special for today's breakfast Loaded Quinoa Bowl with Chocola-" "Yeah no, I'll have the standard please..." "Today's standard is eggs and bacon. The drinks available are orange juice, milk, and water." The android informed him. Marc sighed looking at Gin before answering. "Guess I'll go with that..." "That will be 20 credits" "Oh um sure?" Marc shrugged his shoulders as the android gently grabbed his hand and scanned his wristband. "Your food is next to the store Marc," The robot said pointing to it. "And you sir?" It asked Gin. Isla saw students eating, talking, yelling, everything you would expect from a lunch setting. They were eating eggs and bacon. "I would kill for some of those..." Augustina looked at Isla. "Even you" She joked. A humanoid figure popped from the floor in front of them scaring what life Augustina had left in her. "Would you like the standard breakfast or the special?" It asked in a voice devoid of emotion. "I think I saw my dog..." Augustina said recovering. "I'll have what she's having..." She said pointing to Isla. The android looked towards Isla. "Would you like the standard or the special?" It asked. Jo felt Jamil's grip tighten. A weak smile formed onto his lips. "Listen here" He whispered. "You know that woman?" Robyn balled up her fist seeing everyone disperse. "A club? You mind if I come with you??" Sebastia asked Jo. "What's it called?" Jamil looked as though he was backed into a corner. "Hey." He said weakly. "You're the third Ichor, right? Seba-" A flash of motion blinded Jo, in a quick burst of action Jamil went from next to him to being slammed against the wall. Robyn shook her head, seeming to have followed what just happened. "Don't say my name" The Queen said coldly. She turned back to Jo. "So anyway since you aren't going to join a club let's go!" "You're not invited to the party" She mumbled too soft for Sebastia to hear. Leon saw that Fern and the teacher gave him a pause upon seeing how ill-educated he was. "Christ, you really lived under a rock for most of your life eh? Graham's a multi-billion dollar family that owns a lot of their share in today's technology advancements. Though it doesn't mean jack shit here" The teacher scoffed. "Nanobots are something my family was working on recently. No one has even heard about it since we were barely past the planning stage. For someone to progress to this extent is impossible, though that word also seems to mean 'jack shit' here." Fern told Leon. The teacher snickered looking at both of them. "As you can see no blood magic here. Just a man with some enhancements to make sure he doesn't die too quickly when put in a room with you monsters." Fern sighed and looked towards the door. "I guess this has been informative at least. I'm going to see what everyone else is doing. You coming?" He said heading to the door. Nicole would walk back to see a man talking to Markus. He was laughing while drinking out of a bottle as Markus sighed finishing his cocktail. "A party... of course Robyn would do something like that... oh, Nicole?" He turned his head and threw him a drink. "How did whatever you did go?" "Hey Nicole, you going to the party?!" A man said before he could answer Markus. The man clearly had one too many. "Robyn's throwing one at 9!"

Selena saw the Butler sigh, he shot his hand forward and climbed out of the book. Selena couldn't move anything but her eyes. The man dusted himself off before turning to Selena. "Really? Not so much as an 'ah!'? I put a lot of effort into that story, Selena." The Butler complained. "Well tell me at least, what do you I took from the girl? What was my part of the deal?"

God damn it! Why does this happen to me? Jo ran to Jamil, trying to help him up. "What the hell do you..." Jo regained his sense on how she operated. "Do I need a reason to do things?" Those words shot through his head.No point trying to reason with someone like her... I got to play it safe "Yeah sure, I'll catch up, but can you first tell me where the infirmary is? I promise I'll join you later." Jo looked to Robyn for help.

Selena just looked at the buttler, there is nothing more she can do without being able to move her body, if he is blocking her this way that means this person is insanelly strong and dangerous, but despite the situation, Selena was calm. I have blood powers I didn't expected to have in my life, knowing that is not strange for things like this could happen, anyways... Selena then looked down and closed a bit her eyes. Is like... If I were used to this kind of situations by nature... Like... If my body would have seen worse things. Selena then looked again at the buttler. Don't think bad, I'm sure you would have scared anyone who has picked and read the book, and considering how this girl wanted to see the world, I can think it was a big cost for your services... I can think in the thing she wanted with all her soul, her freedom. That, or her soul, that can be a possibility. And about what you did... It must be related to her blood, I have the theory that she is the first person who got those bloody powers, or maybe she was close to the first, I could think you just made her blood normal, but I don't believe it, that would be so boring and judging how you have approached me and what you have just said, I can think you did something that could be funny and could help her at once.

Same again. *After ordering, Gin would look over at Marc.* So. Planning on heading to that party the princess is hosting?

Isla started to sweat feeling the enormous pressure that she now held. If I get the special, then so will Augustina! But what if I don't like it? If she likes then it's ok... b-but what if I like it and she doesn't?! WHAT IF WE BOTH DON'T LIKE IT?!! O-oh I'll... I'll get the standard please... Nothing can go wrong with eggs and bacon! Isla waited for Augustina before finding a mostly isolated place to eat with her.

Nicole mumbled to himself, going over what he heard. A party? Should be the perfect time to see if what Dedham told me is true. "No." He said then turned to Markus. "To both. It didn't go out well, but i might be able to try something."

Yuki was sitting at one of the tables eating a plate of bacon, eggs, and for some strange reason a bowl of cookies. She seemed to be eating by herself but because of how engrossed she was in her food, it didn't seem to bother her very much. Soon a robot came over and dropped another plate but this one with pancakes and syrup. Her eyes sparkled as she began to dig into the newly arrived food.

Glad to see he's not holding a grude against me. He looked like he was going to fall apart. Stronger than he looks. "Yeah sure hold on." Leon quickly caught up with Fern and opening the door. "Thanks teacher, never got your name."

Jo felt Jamil groan and shake his head, barely conscious. Sebastia frowned and grabbed Jo's shoulder. "Leave him. Who cares about him?" She said whining. Robyn looked at Jo's eyes and stood up proudly. She grabbed Jamil's other shoulder. "Don't worry I shall accompany him. No need to thank me, I won't even charge you with 10,000 credits. Helping the weak is a Queen's duty" Robyn hissed looking at Sebastia before carrying Jamil with Jo's help to the infirmary. Sebastia stood there motionless. "What did I do...?" Jo and Robyn would make it to the infirmary. Halfway through carrying him Robyn became tired and ordered a uniformed student to take her role. The robot scanned Gin's and Isla's wristband. They would see their balance flash for a brief moment. 35,980. Gin would see Marc talking large bites, only stopping to take a swig of milk. He stared at Gin for a few moments for swallowing all of his food at once. "That queen woman? I really don't know. Last time I went on something I was invited to I nearly died trying to rope swing. But she did loosen me with the drinks." Marc laughed. "What about you? I have a feeling you're not the type to let these things just go without you." Isla might feel relieved to see Augustina enjoying the food. She ate carefully, piece by piece in an elegant manner. "So about that party. I've decided to not go. If you don't want to. I don't care which one you choose. If we go we see what's it about, if not we can go to that Outdoor place and enjoy the... Sun? I mean it's obviously fake but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. That Noah kid seemed nice... wait why is a kid at a college...? Anyway, what do you choose?" Augustina asked Isla before stabbing her fork into her eggs. Leon and Fern would go out of the classroom, but not before the teacher yelled his name to them: "087, or just call me Cole like the rest of them" Leon would see the hallway outside the classroom was deserted except one person was there. A woman was standing there, her eyes empty and clearly confused. She had a black tank top along with ripped jeans. "What did do wrong? Why didn't he follow me? Was I too soft? Do I need to be more serious? But they last time I did that..." She mumbled to herself. "What should we do? She's in the way of the only exit." Fern whispered to Leon. Selena saw the Butler laugh. He brought his face inches away from her. "But you see my dear that is why I wish to see a face like yours twisted in fear just before your final moments." The whispering began to grow again as the Butler's laughter became louder, evolving to an echo before disappearing. "Selena?" The librarian asked snapping her out of wherever she was. There was a comic book in her hands. "Are you ok? You've been standing still staring at that same page for 20 minutes..." Markus looked at Nicole gaining an interest in what he said. He gave the bartender his empty glass and walked to Nicole, whispering in his ear. "Can you tell me it face to face or is it better to call Cleva?" If Nicole decided to call Cleva then Markus would go over to a woman playing chess and tapped her on her shoulder. He'd motion with his hands to help them. Yuki would be happily enjoying her meal, however, she noticed a familiar figure walking towards her. Deshawn was making his way over to her, once he arrived he ignored the robot and stuck his hand out. "Hey, I have a question for you." He asked with a serious tone. "Why do you keep your arms covered up?"

Cole huh. And 087? Sounds like they were going through trial and error. Leon walked with Fern outside before seeing the woman. Not good looks like a nut job... oh shit is that the person from the Gym? "Might want to go around without her noticing." Leon suggested, open to ideas really.

*Gin begins eating. He chuckles slightly at Marc's words.* Eh, you could say that. I just like knowing what's going on is all. Also, I doubt there's gonna be any death traps at... I doubt therre will be any rope swings for you to worry about there. Besides. The princess... reminds me of someone somehow. Kinda wanna talk to her, if just once.

Selena looked how the buttler left, he didn't said anything for what she said, so that meant she was right, he took the girl's freedom... Anyways, the butler didn't made Selena react she was calm like she always was even when he said something that could be considered a threat. When she noticed what was really happening she calmlly looked at the librarian, she first looked at him and then she turned to the book again, she repeated that a few times before closing the book and piercing the librarian with her eyes. What!? Can't I read this comic? This is a library after all, a place where we come to read, but you know? Let's forget the fact that I've been in the same page for 20 minutes, let's talk about why have you been looking at me for 20 minutes, something the perverts do y-you know? I don't want nothing to do with a pervert! Selena gave the comic to the librarian and pushed him a bit, she then left the library and began to walk away. *And that happened... Well... where could I go now...? Selena just walked, she didn't cared about where to go.

Jo gently placed Jamil on the bed with one of uniformed students help. A itch in the back of his mind made him worry about Sebastia, but decided to focus on the woman in front of him. Randomly starting a party out of the blue like that, there's got to be something more to her right? "So, tell me, what made you want to start a party? Also it looks like you and Sebastia have a history."

Yuki would look at Deshawn and begin to puff out her cheeks as she began to pout. She looked the other direction as she talked with a furrowed brow. "That's not fair Deshawn nii-chan. First you ask me to get you some cookies and then leave me behind, then you ask me something without even saying hello." she uttered with annoyance before looking back up at him "The least you could do is eat with me. You can't always just keep demanding things of friends." she said with her cheeks still puffed out as if to put emphasis on the fact she is angry with him now.

Isla took a bite from her0 eggs while listening to Augustina. The party, well it feels like a trap, but it's a party! Of course i'll go! But it might be dangerous... maybe I shouldn't let Augustina come with me? I shouldn't stop her if she wants to though... Yeah I think I should go, but I don't think that mean you should go, we both should just make our own decisions right...? Isla began playing with her food waiting for Augustina to answer.

Nicole ponder. small gibberish leaves him as he whispers back to Markus. "Let's call Cleva." Nicole walked over to Cleva, standing next to Markus as he waited.

Leon would see Fern nod his head trusting Leon's instincts. He turned to the woman who was still mumbling in place as if in a trace. Fern took a deep breath, he clearly wasn't ready. "It would be best to not disturb her, especially in the way she is in now. From what I see we can go two ways. We are directly behind her, left or right Leon?" He asked, not wanting to make the call. The woman seemed to fidget slightly, her voice getting louder. "What should I do? He's not supposed to do that..." She began to itch her neck. "He just left me here?" Marc finished his plate which brought his attention fully onto to Gin. He smiled at Gin's words. A robot came and picked up Marc's empty plate and glass. "You know the way things been going I'm actually starting to think you're suicidal. First, you still want to go even though you think that there might be death traps there. Then you tell me you want to talk to the... princess? I really don't know what to think man." Marc laughed. "Well, either way, we've got time to kill. Party is at 9 right? That leaves us about 12 hours to do whatever. I think it's a good time to explore right?" Jo would have to wait until Robyn caught her breath before she began to answer his questions. She waved her hand, making one of the uniformed students bring her a glass of water. After she finished she combed her hair with her fingers putting the glass down. "Why would someone such as I start a party? Why would I not? A crowd of people just being tossed into this world, scared, confused, and most of all without someone to say it will be alright. This is a welcoming party! Something to spite that damn fonder Bramwell. I do hate him, not enough to join WhiteStrom though, they are trying to do the impossible. And Sebastia..." Robyn balled up her hands in the cloth of her dress. Her eyes seemed to hate the mere sound of her name. "We do have... history. Ever since she was wrongly nicknamed Queen. Nothing you should be worried about though. But it seemed she has caught a leash over you. Be careful, and do not ever say her true name or..." She turned to Jamil who was still unconscious on the bed. "Do not worry though, I shall keep watch over him till he awakens. Please, go prepare for my party. 12 hours is barely enough time." The librarian stared at Selena as she walked away. Selena would walk outside aimlessly, reaching the Gym after awhile. There she saw groups of uniformed students setting up tables, balloons, decoration, light, and numerous other things. They all looked busy, the piece of decoration that drew the most attention though was a banner that said "Welcome to BlackRain" in purple. "Must be one hell of a party if they actually let Robyn close the Gym. Either that or they just don't know yet." Selena would overhear from a group of students passing by.

Yuki would see Deshawn's eyes become darker until he looked to the side. A group of students was also staring at Deshawn the same way he looked at Yuki. He growled and sat down. "Hello," He said flatly. He looked at the cookies before taking one for himself. He then turned to Yuki, grabbing her wrist before she could react. "This doesn't mean we're are friends got it? I just wanted to know since it's been in the back of my mind." He slid his grip off of Yuki's wrist. "Nothing personal. I'll make sure to repay you." He then stood up and began to leave. "Oh, and did you hear? Robyn is hosting a party herself like old times." Nicole would see the would stare at Markus' hand movements before nodding. She stood and bit both of her thumbs. A small nail-like spike of blood extended out slightly. She held them out to Markus and Nicole. Markus sighed before taking the thumb and stabbing himself in the palm of his hand with it. Nicole would presumably do the same. Nicole would feel all of his senses dull of quickly, his conscious being pulled into a vacuum. A blur of images blinded all three before coming back to reality. Markus shook his head before groaning. "I always hate doing that." He chucked. "But... this information, it's definitely something we can't ignore. Robyn is hosting a party at nine, so it will be closed by then..." Markus turned to his poster which was at the back table. Cleva was jumping around excitedly throwing numerous hand motions to Markus. He looked to Nicole and smiled. "When the party starts, we'll check." Augustina sighed and looked at Isla in the eye. Though from everything she knew from Isla, she didn't try to fight her logic. She finished her plate and handed it to a robot that whizzed by. "Ok ok lets' do it your way. I choose to go. I know you'll go. SO we are both going because we want to ok?" She stood up and waited for Isla to finish. Henlo nothing is really going to happen till the party starts so have fun on discord till then.

Isla quickly ate the rest of her food and ran to Augustina, knowing a robot who probably clean up after her. Ok! Let's just agree to go because we feel like it! But the party is in like 10 hours... let's go explore!

*Gin laughs, finishing his own meal.* Suicidal? No no. Far from it. If wanting knowledge is insane, then I am naught but a Hatter. *Gin smirks.* So, if we have time to explore, I say we do it. Come on. No time like the present. *Gin gets off his seat and walks off to explore.*

Selena looked at the decoration, the Welcome to Blackrain sign told her like it was a welcome party to the new students, it was a good opportunity to see them so she went inside and went to a corner. She tilted a bit her head towards a wall and she closed her eyes. "I wonder how is going to continue this wonderful day... Probably another dude threats me again or maybe... Nah, I'll stop thinking that way, for now I'll wait to see what happens. Selena remained there, it really looked like she was asleep, however, she was with her guard up as she always is.

Nicole presumably does take the nail and goes in a comatose state, gathering the information he needed. When he wakes he turns to Markus and nods. "Just at the entrance or at the dorms?" Said Nicole bluntly.

"Alright, let's go left. " Leon said walking to the left of the woman, planning on exploring the rest of the school.

Leon would see the woman turn her head to the right when she heard footsteps approaching. She quickly turned to the left but by then Leon and Fern were in front of her. She grew quiet, her eyes burning with a mixture of dark emotions and confusion. She looked at Leon. Without saying anything she walked away. "Looks like she's heading to the Outdoors if it lines up with the map." Fern said sighing. "I might've judged her quickly, I thought she was going to tear me in half for catching her in a bad mood. Though you can't really blame me." Leon would see nothing stopping him from proceeding further. Markus sat down in front of his poster ignoring Cleva's hand motions. "At the entrance a little after the party starts. Not at the beginning because too many people will be there. You can go to the party if you want and I'll call you when I need you. Besides that nothing else to do but wait." He said beginning to study the poster again.

Nicole nods at that command, walking out of the PUB with a small yawn. Mumbling to himself while he walks around, going about his usally route as scans of any freshman.

Yuki would let out a little yelp when Deshawn suddenly grabbed her wrist but after he let go she simply rubbed it as if it hurt. She then heard what Deshawn said about Robyn and for an instant had a distant expression as if reminiscing on the past. She then looked at Deshawn before he left and spoke. "Will you be going." she asked, almost expecting him to say he was

Gin would find himself lost in his own thoughts before the sound of passing students overshadowed the hum of the falling water. They were talking about how Robyn's party was five minutes away. It would then dawn on him how the sun was well past the horizon, the grass, and fountain reflecting a white hue emitting from the moon above. His wristband displayed where the gym was to him. Jo's eyes would see Lovisa finish another chess match undefeated before looking at her wristband. She quickly got up, nearly leaving until she remembered Jo. She walked over admiring the number of books he has read as she talked: "Jo, are you going to the party? If so I wouldn't mind walking together." She grabbed the books Jo finished and put them back with haste waiting for his answer. Isla felt a sting on her cheek waking her up from her dreams. Lulu repeatedly slapped Isla's face until the bartender told her to stop. In turn, she slapped Isla once more before standing up. "Hey, you said you wanted to go to the party right? Well hurry up or you'll be late. If you're not up in two minutes I'm leaving you" Lulu told Isla as tugged on her sleeve. Isla's eyes would be welcomed to the orange-tinted lights of the Pub. Leon's ears were ringing from the alarm he had set. As he would've moved from awakening, the lights flashed on stabbing his unguarded eyes. A spherical robot next to his dresser flashed on and floated over to Leon, displaying a message on its screen. You have set an alarm for: Party. Would you like you to set it to snooze?. Leon's wristband would read 9:00 pm. Selena felt someone gently nudging her awake. In a daze, Selena remembered walking two steps from the pub feeling fine before blacking out. She would see that the person waking her up was a man dressed in a tuxedo. "O-oh hey Selena! I, uh, was looking for a... friend of mine when I saw you passed out outside of the freshman's pub. I didn't think you were the type to get wasted with you being quiet and all... n-not like that's bad or anything! It's just um... h... hey the party is starting!" The man looked to his wristband surprised. If Selena did the same she would see the time being nine o clock. The man stood up and looked over Selena. "Do you need help? I-I'm going to the party so I could drop you off at your room if you want..." Nicole floated in a familiar empty void of black. His routine majestic flying was interrupted by a boy appearing in front of him. The boy wore a weathered torn brown hat that covered most of his face. His lips began to move, yet no sound came out. Yet Nicole could hear him. As if invisible words were flashing in front of Nicole he understood what the boy said. "Wake Up". With that Nicole's eyes flew open as the room's lights flickered on. His wristband shone with the clock numbers being 9 pm. The party has already started. Yuki would see most of the people in the infirmary walking out despite there injuries to go to Robyn's party. The only ones that stayed were the students that were unconscious or were too greatly injured. She remembered Robyn and Jamil leaving an hour before the party started. Speaking of which, if Yuki looked at her wristband she would see it was nine pm. The party was at the gym if she recalled correctly.

Isla flinched from the harsh wake up call Lulu gave her on the cheek. She sat holding her red cheek. W-What? I'm up! I'm up! Where am I...? Ugh... Memories came back to Isla about what happened. Her headache calmed down as she remembered. Now both of her cheeks were red. U-um...I... I want to come with you hold on, I'll get up.... Isla shamefully stood up and walked over to Lulu sad that she passed out from one shot.

Jo slowly put down his book and went to put it away. Oh yeah the party, nearly forgot about that. These books are so interesting, it's almost as if I've been here for like 12 days. I wouldn't mind having company to the party though. "I think I'll take you up on that offer. As it stands I don't have anyone to accompany me"

*Gin would look at his wristband.* That time already huh? Heh. Alright. Might as well head over. Can't be any worse then that last event, right? I wonder if Tanya will show up. Could be interesting. heh. *With a smirk, Gin would hop up from his place sitting on the fountain before heading for the Gym for Robyn's party.*

Selena blinked a few times before standing up with an energetic jump. I'm fine as always! Don't look at me that way because I know how to take care of myself, now if you excuse me, I'm a very busy woman eho has a party to attend agaisnt my will Selena looked at the man who was next to her and maybe a bit confused. What? I dislike parties but I'm sure everyone is going so... I don't feel like missing important stuff...

Lulu held in a laugh as she helped Isla off the couch. The bartender waved them goodbye while they walked out the door. Isla would begin to feel her strength returning. More and more people kept appearing in groups as they made their way into the gym. The atmosphere had begun to change the closer they got to the party, more and more characters were crowding the hallways, though they moved out of the way once they saw Lulu. After a few silent moments of walking, they made it to the hallway connected to the gym. There Isla would see a few more familiar faces. Like the woman from the pub, Marc, and James. James turned to see Isla happily, running over to her as he did. "Hey, Isla!" James quietly shouted. "How were your classes? I thought I saw you at the pub and..." James held his nose. "Were... you drinking?" "Don't worry she'll fit right in then" Lulu chuckled throwing her arm over James' shoulder making him freeze. His eyes looked over to Isla as if pleading her to help him before she laughed and walked away. He sighed and stared at Isla. "I didn't know you liked to drink..." He said awkwardly. Lovisa nodded at lead the way to the gym for Jo. Multiple people said hi to Lovisa and began to walk beside her as they strolled. By the time they neared the gym, there was a crowd of people centered around Lovisa while she talked. It really couldn't have been considered him being apart of said group with him being so far off into the corner. Lovisa laughed at one of the jokes another student told her before snapping her fingers. "Oh I'm dumb, I forgot to introduce a freshman I'm friends with. Hey Jo!" She yelled looking for him "Jo...?" However, Jo would not be there. Roughly about three minutes ago a figure grabbed Jo when the group was distracted and dragged him into the dormitories. Jo was now face to face with the Queen inside her room. He wouldn't be able to take in what her room looked like due to how severe his attention was needed on the Queen. She paced back and forth mumbling to herself before snapping her head towards Jo. She rushed over to him and flicked his nose. Though it was just a flick Jo's head would be sent back a few inches. Blood was on his nose. Not his though, he would realize Sebastia was biting her fingers a bit too much. "That was for leaving!" She shouted before taking a deep breath. "Remeberwhathesaidrememberwhathesaid... So... before I decide what to do next... tell me, why did you leave?"

Gin would head out to the gym following his wristband. Multiple people were also on their way to the same destination, traveling mostly in groups and chatting about their expectations on how the party would go. As he made his way over to the gym he would notice an odd figure out of the corner of his eye. Besides an array of various things wrong with the person, it was mostly the isolation they were in. If Gin got closer he would begin to recognize the figure. It was a woman with muddy brown hair that reached her shoulders. She was hunched and clung to the wall making slow trembling movements to the gym. She wore a striped shirt with suspenders as well. Gin would come to realize that the odd woman was Tanya. Small things about were different like her clothes actually looked clean and she bandaged her thumb, also her arms. However, the biggest change was the fact that she was wearing a mask. It... matched her? The left eye was tilted up whilst the right eye was tilted down. The mouth was a large grin that stretched to the sides of the mask. The man hurried over to Selena as she walked away. His speed was impressive considering what he was wearing. "W-wait! You're going to the party right? So am I we could walk together- hey wait up!" The man struggled to strike a conversation throughout the journey, mostly ending up saying hello to his friends to poke holes in the awkward atmosphere. They, unfortunately, made it to the party in this situation, but they both saw some familiar faces. James ran to a woman whom you remember from the pub. However another woman you recall from the pub also appeared. She walked over to Selena laughing. "Oh, you! How was the fall?" she giggled. Leon and Nicole would both make it to the entrance of the gym, multiple blockades of people slowing them down. Markus nodded at Nicole as he passed by, tapping his watch. Leon's robot filed an abusive report as he left. All in all, Leon would see Fern waiting out the side of the door to the Gym, and Nicole spotted... Deshawn? He was standing near the gym but clearly had no intention of stepping inside.

*Gin would walk over to Tanya. HE would look at her with an eyebrow raised, hands in his jacket pockets.* Tanya. Why are you wearing a mask?

Jo would wander close to the group, beginning to ponder what the party would be like and other things like clubs. However the sudden kidnapping woke him up from his thoughts. Jo barely realized what was going on before seeing who was in front of him. Oh no. Why. Who keeps doing this to me?! Why must I suf- Jo's head recoiled from the flick on his nose. He grabbed it and noticed the blood that wasn't his, though in a few seconds there's no doubt his own blood is going to fall. Damn, it, of all the ways for this to go... "Listen... I had to help my friend. You smacked them when they said you're name! I thought you were in a bad mood so I assumed you needed to cool down , if I was there when you were like that I would've just made it worse wouldn't I? I didn't know you actually wanted me to stay but I made a promise and I had to stand by it. Next I won't leave you alone. Promise." Jo had begun to break into a cold sweat hoping his speech works.

Isla avoided looking Lulu in the eyes as they walked down the hallway, but became excited when she saw how many people were in there. There's so many people! The party is going to be amazing! Even James is here! Isla smiled seeing him and waved him over. Hey James! Classes were fun, I mean I skipped them but um... it's ok it ended early! And I um... went to the bar and um... yeah... but I won't do that again! I'm a changed woman!!! Isla told James remembering how she passed out after one drink.

Leon almost headed into the gym before seeing Fern. He walked over to him and tapped his shoulder. "Hey" Leon grabbed his attention. "What are you waiting out here for? Aren't you going inside?"

Yuki slowly walked towards the gym. She had went back to her room to change clothes for the party which admittedly may not have been needed but she wanted to look for it. She wore a white one piece dress with a long sleeved jean jacket and black leather gloves. The dress stopped halfway down her thighs and she wore open toe wedges that made her about two inches taller. She walked over to the gym and noticed Deshawn. Walking over to him she smiled as she began to shift her weight from one foot to another. "H-how do I.....look."

Selena decided to wait a bit and then go alongside the person who was with her, when they reached the party she stayed a bit behind but when the woman asked her she did a thumbs up. Pretty fine, I can't even remember anything after drinking it, but I don't really care anyways. Selena adopted a more relaxed posture as she continued talking What have we missed? The party has just started, right?

Nicole nodded, tapping on his watch as well at Marcus while making his way over to his old... friend, quietly mumbling to himself Hey, you know the "Party" is inside right?

Gin Gin would see Tanya snap her head towards him as HE walked to her. She crouched low and readied her nails to her she bandaged her arm. However, once Gin got closer she relaxed slightly. She quickly reached into her pockets, fumbling as she pulled out the familiar rectangle. She tapped away making a screen appear in front of Gin. "Friendly. I have a mask because not everyone is a friendly. It keeps me safe. The mask is safe. I am safe wearing the mask." She typed to him. "I wanted to go to the party to see how she's d-" Tanya quickly erased what she was typing. She paused before writing her next sentence. "It's been a while since the Party Queen hosted a party. Everyone's blood is bouncing around wild. Mine is too. Yours..." She trailed off. She looked over to the door of the gym. She then began to walk to the doors at the same excruciatingly slow pace she did before. Jo The Queen would stop pacing. She almost bloodshot eyes narrowed. She placed her hand to her mouth deep in thought. All at once Jo's kidnapper slammed her hand onto the table shattering it. From the pieces, she picked up a shard and began to use it to carve a message into another shard. She then walked over to Jo and handed it to him. The message read: "The Queen invites you to attend the party with her." She stood in the middle of her room smiling childishly waiting for an answer. Isla James arched a brow at Isla's words, clearly, believing every word she said. He sighed shaking his head mumbling something about him already being tracer. He then pointed to the gym doors his face red. Funny enough he was already dressed for the occasion. He took a deep breath and held his arm out. "Would you accompany me to this party?" James asked with a silent embarrassed face. Even when Lulu fell to the floor dying of laughter he kept his eye contact. He clearly always wanted to say this. Leon Fern slowly turned his head in a daze. But he snapped awake when he saw Leon. He wiped the drool coming from his mouth and patted Leon on the shoulder. "My sister always told me to make sure to look at the personality of a girl before her looks. Don't forget that most of these people have killed someone. Don't forget that most of these people have killed someone." Fern mostly told himself. "Leon. You're heading to the party right? You've got nice shoulders. I'll make us look good." Fern laughed dragging Leon to the party. A part of Leon could tell that he wasn't forcing these emotions. Selena Lulu was recovering from overhearing a conversation in front of her. She giggled slowly getting up. Oddly though her hoodie stayed attached to her head throughout the fall. "You passed out right outside of the bar you idiot! That other idiot dragged you to the infirmary. Oh but we're here to party rightttt? Well, don't worry I'll make sure you'll stay away from the drinks." Lulu chuckled opening the door for everyone. Nicole and Yuki Marcus nodded at Nicole as he walked to Deshawn. However, Nicole's friend was already in a one-sided conversation with another person. No, another Ichor. The surrounding students looked on in awe from the sight of the three Ichors. Deshawn would simply adjust his scarf and nod at Yuki's question. He turned to Nicole. giving him a much less strained look. Yet it was now filled with shock. "Um... Nicole. Hey... Yuki do you mind if I speak with him privately? You can just go to the party." Deshawn told her stepping aside with Nicole.

Isla smiled and grabbed his entire arm pulling him through the doors Lulu held open. Even though I'm not dressed for the party I have a guy whose in a tuxedo, a crazy woman, Lulu, and a swords woman! Of course! Let's go James!

Aye. You mentioned before. "Too much blood" yeah? *Gin shrugs before putting his hands in his jacket pockets and walking ahead of Tanya, being a faster walker than her.* Well whatever. So, I assume you know the princess hmm? You two friends? Acquaintances? Other possible relationships that I'm not gonna judge if it's true?

Leon couldn't help but smile that Fern could be thinking that of all times. But he wasn't going to stop him, he was more happy at how well he was taking his lost. Leon shook his head and walked arm in arm to the gym. "Sure, as long as you don't make me look bad; i'll do my best to convince them you don't cry as easily as you do" Leon chuckled.

Selena half closed her eyes, she was starting to feel she is going regret drinking that. However "what is done is done". Thanks for worrying about me but I know how to take care of myself. With that said Selena went inside, she was wondering how this party was going to go and she was only able to think that the party would be a complete failure. *I hope anyone gets obsessed with me... well, time to go inside and begin the party... But still I'm curious, now I want to see what happens.

Yuki gave Deshawn a sloppy salute before turning away and going into the party with hopes of finding some delicious sweets. Or pancakes. Pancakes were always nice. When she walked in she would look around at the others and then looking back at herself wonder if maybe she overdressed. Shaking those thoughts out of her head and reasoning that its everyone else who underdressed she then began scanning the area for where the food was or anyone she knew and wanted to say hi to.

Nicole followed with Deshawn You needed to talk? Also... why are you here to begin with?

Gin Tanya stared at Gin, or at least from what he could tell with the mask on, for a brief moment before turning to face the decorated gym doors. Her steps became slower and slower to the point Gin would have to stop walking if he wanted to read the screen that appeared in front of him. Most of the people who were blocking the hallways were beginning to walk inside. Looks like the party had begun. Tanya tapped on the rectangle slowly this time. "Robyn used to throw parties every week... she always dressed as a Queen when she did. People nicknamed her the Party Queen. Everyone's blood kept on jumping when she announced that she was throwing another one after all this time. Just like old times, people's blood was excited. I never went to her parties. So I'm going to go now." The screen read in front of Gin. As they reached the doors, Gin, of course, would've gone first with Tanya far behind, her speed now reduced to taking a step every two minutes. Jo The Queen smiled brightly and grabbed Jo's arm like usual and walked with him to the party. As they neared the doors, two uniformed students blocked the way for Sebastina. Without hesitation, she flicked her arm up and towards the student to her right. However she paused, the student was emotionless, but she looked over to Jo. She rolled her eyes and patted the uninformed student's shoulder. "You know you can't stop me~" She whispered walking in with Jo. The Queen waved at a masked woman who was blocking the way for a moment. Leon Fern growled hearing what Leon had to say as they walked into the gym. But his expression changed as they neared the gym. He slapped himself in the face for confidence while they walked inside. Nicole Nicole would see Deshawn look around him before turning to the cafeteria. There weren't many people around them as most of the people in the hallways began to race to the party. The cafeteria was locked due to it being after 9 pm, there was a transparent screen on the doorway of the cafeteria with a green hue. He pulled him near the gate and whispered to him. "Listen, I have a plan. We right now this is the best idea I can come up with when it comes to your club." Deshawn quietly yelled. "Robyn's parties always kept things free, so if she kept it that way, then there's no way she would notice this..." Deshawn reached into his pocket and held a wristband over to Nicole. He tapped it to reveal a name displayed on the screen: "Yuki Namikuto". Isla, Gin, Jo, Leon, Selena, and Yuki As they stepped into the cafeteria a grand sight was to be seen. Colored lights would dance around the crowd, tables set up in every corner, some filled to the brim with food, others with plates and cups, and the biggest one in the corner had people playing cards. Even the floor had changed to solid purple. You could hardly tell it was the gym anymore. There were robots flying above the people, handing out drinks and food when ordered to. Gin would see Tanya stick close to the wall. James also stuck close to the wall. However, in the stage facing everyone, a woman walked out. The moment Yuki saw her the feeling of her being over-dressed was blown away. Robyn was wearing quiet literally a queen's dress along with light make-up and gold earrings. "Welcome everyone! I... almost everyone." Robyn announced staring at Sebastina and Lulu. "Ahem, for any matter, I hope you all enjoy this welcoming party, dedicated to the freshman who has joined us recently!" A thunder of clapping boomed throughout the gym. Robyn then sat on top of the stage, sitting in a throne, while she watched over the party.

Isla walked round, looking at everything in excitement. Robyn has really made a party! She looks like a Queen! But wow, even a gambling table...? Isla walked over to James and tried to pry him off the wall. Come on! Let's go the gambling table!!!

Hmm? Go? Why go before the party has even- What on earth? *Gin would look upon Robyn with a look of confusion yet somewhat amusement.* That... has to be te gaudiest thing I've ever seen. Like the throne and the poofy... thing. *Gin would think for a moment before understanding the nickname Tanya had been giving Robyn earlier. He glances over to her.* Right. "Party Queen". Now I see what you were talking about. The princess has a bit of a queenly ego, so I suppose it makes sense she'd parade herself a bit. Shoulda seen this coming in all honesty. I know the type. *Lugh smirks after rambling on, mostly to himself. Wonder if you know I'm dead yet, Sis. Heh. Like she'll actually believe that.*

Nicole held the wristband in hands and nodded, slipping it on after mumbling to himself. He turns to the transparent green hue wall You think I'll be able to make it through the wall with this?

Yuki would look around until finally seeing Robyn up on stage. Finally not feeling so self conscience about potentially being the only one who got dressed for this party. Her gaze followed Robyn's when she corrected herself before a smile formed on her visage. She paced through the crowd as she quickly made her way to the two. "Hi Seby-chan and Lu-chan" she happily chirped as she hugged the two "What have you two been up to?"

Isla, Jo, and Leon The walls had no edges James could cling to so, in the end, he gave up and accompanied Isla to the gambling table. While they were walking Leon with Fern, who had agreed to the invitation, joined them in the same direction. Finally, once everyone made it across the gym another man by the name of Jo had entered the gambling party. Once they all reached their destination they saw a black table floating in midair. The top of the table had a soft green carpet on the top. A holograph of two cards on the screen appeared, caused one of the men to curse and smack the table. The other man laughed while a number of $1,000 above said cards dropped down to zero, making the laughing man's wristband glow. The man who lost looked over to Jo, Isla, Fern, James, and Leon. They then gestured to the seats around the tables. "Care to lose a few credits in poker?" The man who won chuckled. "Oi go easy on them, let's do Blackjack. Nothin' hard there." The other man suggested. Jo would realize the man who won was Jamil, who now wore a grey tuxedo. He pointed to the seats, which Fern and James sat in waiting for everyone else. "You do know how to play right?" Jamil asked everyone. Gin Tanya still clung to the wall as she typed into the rectangle with one hand, the other holding her mask in place. "She used to do this all the time, even though she's the one who throws them her blood is always calm. Like she was born to be the center of attention. But she has lost a lot of blood. The tips of her fingers are soaked. I don't th-" the screen presented in front of Gin went static when a man walked through it heading over to Gin. "I don't think we've properly met." The familiar man's voice softly spoke to Gin. "Though I do remember you clearly. That obstacle was quite something... the school is way worse as you are sure to find out." The man leaned into Gin's ear. "You might begin to start wishing I broke your neck yesterday." "ZLATAN" the screen flashed in front of him, so wide it engulfed his entire head and wrapped around it. Gin would realize Tanya was breathing heavily, completely pressed her back into the wall. She had used her right hand to tear the flesh off her forearm and the other to type. A circle was around all three of them made by the other party-goers. Robyn was eyeing them down but didn't make a move. Nobody blinked. Zlatan then began to laugh innocently as he walked over to Robyn. "Relax, I didn't come to start a fight, just welcoming a new friend. Isn't that was this party is all about Nails?" "Then would you mind acting like a Gentleman?" She asked her fist shaking. The man laughed, somehow with just his smile the air became heavy as everyone seemed desperate to flee from him yet at the same time be closer. It was as if he was a bear trap decorated to be charming in every way with the ultimate bait no one could understand. "Are you ok?" the screen asked Gin. Tanya finally walked over to him and examined his head by walking in circles around him while she typed. "He's not a friendly like you. Don't ever be alone with him" Selena Selena would see about three things that caught her attention. The first being the gambling table off to the corner that had seven people around it. The second being Zlatan who was off to a corner as well but surrounded by other people flocking to talk to him, and lastly, there are three women who you recognized as Lulu, Sebastina, and Yuki. The party would rave on, not much time till things change. Either that or Selena finds another thing to do.

Yuki Sebastina's eyes followed a man in a trench-coat as he headed to the gambling table. She took a step towards the man before being assaulted from behind by Yuki's hug. Lulu, however, was able to escape the tender embrace with only her life just as Yuki's arms wrapped around the Queen's body. She turned to Yuki not resisting the hug but not hugging back. "Who wants their eyes rip... Yuki?!" Sebastina yelled as she picked up Yuki off the ground and tossed her into the air. "Hey, I didn't think you go to parties!" "Even the sword woman is here," Lulu remarked pointing to Selena as Sebastina caught Yuki. "This party is contagious for stupidity" "Is that why you're here shorty?" Seby mocked making Lulu's face turn red. "Oh, well I've been busy! Ever since the freshmen came in I've met some really interesting... people. I've never been so stressed out and I love it!" "You should put her down before she throws up," Lulu suggested. "Oh right" Sebastina nodded putting Yuki down. "So what have you been up to?" Nicole Deshawn spun the wristband on his index finger, opening his mouth before turning around quickly. Another man rose from hallways putting his hands up. Nicole recognized him as Marcus. "I saw you heading here with Deshawn, Nicole, I guess there's no need for the signal. I assume your goal is the same as ours?" Marcus asked Deshawn. "Same? I gave you that goal. But unlike you, I have this." Deshawn waved the wristband. "What's that supposed to do?" "We had a lot of examples that going over that green hue would result in a fleet of robots firing until you are red paste. But Yuki walked in and out as if it was nothing. My thought was wrong, it didn't just shoot anything living that crossed, it scanned the wristband before firing. If something without a wristband crosses the hue then it would probably start firing anyway. So..." Deshawn began walking to the barrier with the wristband extended out in front of him. Marcus held his breath as he passed through... unharmed. Deshawn sighed in relief, he looked over to Nicole and Marcus. "Take off your wristbands and use this" Deshawn whispered throwing Yuki's wristband to them. "Now start looking."

Jo walked over to the table not expecting all the people there, but he didn't mind. The more the merrier. And blackjack is simple, anyone who can count is able to play. "Yes I do know how to play. Though what were you guys playing earlier? Seems like you won a lot Jamil."

Nicole strips. Off his wristband, setting it down in front of the door as he walked over to the wristband left on the ground. He held onto Yuki's wristband and walked through. ... Nicole passes and looks around with his bff Deshawn

Trust me. I don't intend to. He makes a bad first impression. *Gin frowns slightly.* Almost killed me twice on that damn obstacle course yesterday. Wish he would've just kissed the spiked wall and got impaled. *Lugh chuckles, smirking slightly. his eyes following Zlatan for a bit* Still. Stay out of his way and at least pretend to be cordial and he should be easy to handle. I know that guys type as well. Strong and knows it. Gives him a bit of an ego. And an ego can be easily exploited. *Lugh smiles darkly before realizing what he just said, coughing nervously and laughing. Gin looks back to Tanya with his regular smile.* So, I take it you have some "History" with Señor body thrower as well, aye?

Isla sat next to James and looked around. She couldn't see any cards but since the first ones she saw were holographic she can guess why. But that means I'm going to play with holographic cards! I don't know how to play poker but I know blackjack! Yeah I know how to play blackjack! Are we also going to bet cash?

Leon sat down in any seat really and rested his chin on his knckle. "Yeah I know how to play. Though maybe explain for anyone who doesn't. Also I'm not playing unless the stakes and rewards are good enough." Leon explained.
