St. Anne Academy of Magic

Victor slowed down, and offered a hand to help Justin up. "That's alright. Artemis and I were going quite fast..." He trailed off as recognition dawned. "Oh, hey. I remember seeing you in Magic Theory."

Justin quickly got back up on his feet with Victor's help, "Yeah, I remember seeing you there, too. What kind of Creation did you make?"

Hm, he was working on Magitech there. Well, I could offer some help if he needs it in the future. Could be fun - they say one learns things much quicker when teaching to others.

SPOOPY AS FUCK

Hela growled, backing into the hallway. Not wide enough for her to get past. She was stuck covering their backs, helpless. Left to trusting Adrienne. "Uh... uh!" She was freaking out just a little bit, and shifted her weight back and forth. "Further in! Push further in so I can get this door closed behind us!"

Victor pointed to his hovering beetle construct, which began circling Justin curiously. "I made a mechanical construct...If i recall, you made the hovering tendril-like...construct, right?" He asked.

Behind the Door

As the group pushed further into the castle, the modern bricks turned into ancient flagstones. Engravings were etched into the wall, but had been scratched out, and the tunnel was filled with a dim, fainly blue glow that didn't seem to come from anywhere. If anyone cared to check a map, it would say that they should have gone through a wall on the second floor by now, and yet the hall kept going, until they reached a circular chamber.

The room was completely circular, and very large, like a ballroom. The tiles were arranged haphazardly, forming a cobweb of uneven ridges that ended in a circular depression on the floor, like a small dish. The walls were pitted with small alcoves, each of which held an iron candlestick. Each one was lit, casting the room in a dim light. Other than that, the room seemed to be completely empty.

Dian's Tunnel

"Ah, sure." Leo said to Dian, completely missing the innuendo. The wink didn't go unnoticed, though it really mostly just confused him. Was she really Antoin's girlfriend, or was he just messing with him? It merited further investigation. He progressed deeper into the cave, his cell lighting the way. He was careful not to trip.

As soon as Julia heard the noises inside the tunnel and that Hela was about to close the door, she knew she, and Cody have to hurry up, so she grabbed onto Cody's wrist and essentially drag him along as she sprint inside the tunnel. It was a rather rushed introspective, Julia admitted, but she certainly did not expect a bunch of spooky scary skeletons popping out of these walls. One of them was close enough to Julia that it was in biting range of her head.

While Justin and Victor were talking, Artemis was checking out the magitech mechanic, mostly just sniffing him from his legs up. It has to take a big sniff, though, since deer nose are much less astute than the dog nose that Artemis was used to.

Tunnel

After they're all ready, Dian starts to walk.

As they go further, the cave walls fade into brick. The path is mostly straight, and occasionally torches light the way. After a time, the path splits into three.

"... Which way now...?"

Antoin looked between the paths, trying to discern which ones looked safe and which ones looked dangerous. He held his chin in his hand for a moment and then smiled, "Lets split up, gang!"

Justin nodded, recalling his construct, "Oh yes, Kardiak Mk2."

"Hm." Justin examined the beetle, his eyes going over the various magitech pieces and such, "You did a pretty good job on this one."

Justin then looked at the deer sniffing him, and asked, "Whose construct is this little lady?"

Artemis would smell some liquid metallic substance near the ends of his pants, and he'd obviously been cleaning something up in his laboratory.

Cave(?)

"... Uh, no. Have you even seen any horror movies? Splitting up is probably going to get one of us killed or critically injured. And lost."

And indeed, Artemis does smell that awful smelling substances, as she twitched away from the pants with a bit of a whine and tried and get away from the smell. Even when she reached the maximum length of the leash, she keep tugging on it, essentially begging Victor to move along.

Victor accepted Justin's words with a smile and a nod. "Thank you."

"Oh, Artemis? She's Julia's creati-yow!" Victor was jerked to the side, and he looked at the zombie doe in confusion as she tried to pull him away. "What's the matter, girl?" He asked, shooting an apologetic look at Justin. "Sorry to cut this short. It was nice talking with you Justin... hey ease up, you're going to pull my arm off..."

2 Spooky 4 Tunnel

Cody let Julia pull him along behind her, into the large opening. As the Skeletons came in, he moved behind her, afraid. These guys didn't look like something he could just put to sleep. If he'd known they'd be fighting things, he could've maybe brought something to help but...

"Uhm, I don't suppose anyone has a spare weapon, do they?"

"If they have they would-Oh shit!" Julia said, and it's a good thing that she looked at Cody to address the unarmed situation or else she would have not seen the skeleton diving straight for the head. She ducked under it and let the skeleton collide on to the wall beside them into a spooky scary mess. She quickly pick up 2 humerus bones, gave one to Cody and said "Here's your weapon, let's prove that you're no coward, eh?"

Skeleton Cave

"Okay," Marianne said, cracking her knuc kles, "Let me at this" She was behind Adrienne but that didn't stop her from sending several stone spikes out of the floor targeted at any skeletons she could see.

I've Got A Bone To Pick With You

Cody took a deep breadth. Ok. He just needed to use the bone. We didn't want to look like a wimp in front of Julia. All he needed to do was swing it. Like a baseball bat. Not that he'd ever played baseball, but...

Gripping the arm bone in both hands, he moved towards a skeleton, although still keeping close to the main group, and began flailing the bone around wildly, praying it would hit one of the Skeletons.

"So, uhm, if my knowledge of pop-culture is right, this is a good time for you all to explain to me what's" ahe stopped, as he ducked beneath a skeletons hook, still failing to really do anything with his bone- "going on, right?"

Felidad did a nasty right uppercut on the skull of the skeleton that attempted to hurt Cody, causing it to ricochet off the ceiling and bounced around the halls like a basketball."I dunno either, man," Felicidad quickly responded. "You'll have to ask Adrienne or Hela, I didn't listen to their stories about some keys and shit, I'm only here because they're vaguely my friends and I'm bored-AHHH!"

Unfortunately, a skeleton decided to took a piggy ride and biting her ponytail around like a Latino rodeo.

(Also, eeyyyy, 666, baby, I am the beast I worship :^))

"Well, like I've said, I've got nothing better to do." Dagan shrugged in response, frowning a little at Straza explaining her talk with whoever was on the other side of the phone. "...that said, I know you're a succubus and all, but... I assume that "oral virginity" is important to someone who has a SO. Just saying."

With that said he glanced at the angel sitting on the other bed. "Would you fancy going with us?"

Shivery Spines

Cody saw what was happening to Felicidad, and tried to help her by taking a swing at the skeleton on her back. Unfortunately, his aim wasn't true, and his swing was too low, colliding directly with Felicidads legs, knocking her over.

"Oh, it had some bullshit lore or whatever around it, but I wasn't listening. I saw a freaky monster and a super old key, and that's all I needed" Hela finally stepped back and slammed the door shut, then turned to face the oncoming undead. "I knew we'd find something incredible with it, though." She advanced, slowly, and sent a precise jab at the skeleton grappling with Felicidad.

Vestibule

As Marianne's stone spikes erupted from the ground, the great stone tiles became shrapnel. Many of the skeletons fell to pieces, littering the floor with bones. There weren't a lot of skeletons to begin with. They seemed to be just there to make sure some random person didn't wander in by accident. Only a few remained in the hall, but now the door was shut behind them.

Dian's Cave

"If we just follow the left wall, we won't get lost." Leo said, placing his hand on the wall as he headed down the passageway. This was what being a Mage was all about. Maybe there were some powerful tomes or ancient artifacts of vast magical power?

Tunnels

"Hey, wait before you go off on your own-" Dian follows after Leo.

Well ain't this a good day for Felicidad? Not only is her back of the knee been swiped and causing her to fall down in a sissy squat style but also get hit in the head by Hela because her original target was shifted down. The good news is that the skeleton was defeated anyway under Felicidad's own bodyweight. The bad news is that Felicidad landed on a skeleton and they're hard as shit.

Throughout this ordeal, Julia couldn't do anything but bite onto her knuckle and winced at just imagining the pain her sis has endured. She walked up to Felicidad and asked "Err, sis? Are you alright?"

"Nigga, no!" Felicidad shouted, both in pain and peeve that this shit had just happened. She rolled onto her front and tried to rub out the pain on her back while the rest are doing their thing.

"Pfft!" Straza could barely contained her laughter when Dagan took her joke about 'mouth virginity' seriously. She placed her hand onto the devil's chest to support herself as she got weakened from the very effective humour hex Dagan cast on her and said "Ah, man, good one, mate, I can tell we can get along just nicely, but we're just delaying ourselves, let's go, if lil Mai Mai ain't coming along, it's her loss, then."

With that being said, she get through the door frame and Dagan smoothly, deliberately rubbing her breasts onto Dagan's chest on the way out and stride down the hall, her finger playfully beckoning Dagan to come along.

Until she suddenly stop dead in her track, turned around and asked "You do have money, right?"

Eugh. She was being a rather nasty tease. He gave out a rather distressed grunt at her rubbing.

"Yeah, I have some." He nodded in agreement before his brows furrowed at the implication. "...I'm not buying you stuff if that's what you're asking me." With that said he followed after her, passing one final glance at Maion.

After a sigh of relief, Straza said "Quite the opposite, actually. I had fucboiss and bitches all asking me out on dates and shits but they have no money to even buy themselves a damn cup of water, that's rather shameful, and it happened often enough that I have to ask. Besides, I got money in the bank, pimping ain't easy~"

She then showed off by briefly making the hall rain money. All of 20 dollars from her wallet.

"I mean, my money's literally in the bank but I have my debit card, so no worries there," she subtly explained as she bend over to pick up her cash. And then coincidentally just happens to turn around to show off her ass wrapped in a tight yoga pants for Dagan, and some other lucky blokes, to see.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes. Whether she was doing it on purpose or was it just a part of her subconsciousness, he wouldn't know.

"You going in this getup?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow. Sure, there were plenty of girls wearing tight leggings on the streets, but these...? Eh, perhaps Dagan was just old-fashioned.
