monkey madness

Erin decided to step back and wait for the others to solve the problem. She considered her methods of trapping it and concluded that her classmates were far better equipped to deal with the situation at hand. She perched on one of the seats and watched the proceedings from there.

Monkey Madness

Kiri glared with annoyance as the monkey proved to be too smart to believe it was trapped by his illusory cage, following its movement over to the top of Concettina's head. "Whoever owns this stupid monkey should just summon it back..."

"A-apologies," Nyxus responded, somewhat nervous as he realized that he struck a nerve on the team captain. "I hadn't meant to imply that, it's just that your aura— wait, did you just call me cute?"

Nyxus could feel his cheeks burning as he realized what Mercurius said. Me? Cute? He can't be serious. And even if it is, now's not the time to be wondering why he could possibly think that.

"...Eris already brought that up," Nyxus mentioned (in a much more neutral tone) in response to Mercurius not allowed to accept them yet. "I figured a tour of the stadium wouldn't hurt, though..."

TEMPLE HAS AN IDEA!

Temple watched Kiri make the cage before turning back to the other young man. "Could you possibly do that but make a banana?" He whispered, "And put it in my hand? Might work better than just trapping it. Monkeys usually just want food, or at leas tthe ones back home did."

He adjusted his top hat and offered his hand for Kiri to bestow a banana within it.

Monkey Business

Asher sighed in frustration as he shifted into cat form and leaped onto Eura's shoulders. "This monkey is a pain in the ass for sure."

"Yeah, a banana that can only be seen and can't be moved or touched," Kiri replied with an annoyed grunt as he watched the monkey dance and continue to annoy everyone.

KIRI AND TEMPLE

"Well, I can mime it." Temple said with a shrug, "Why not order your familiar after it? A shapeshifting Cat's got to be able to catch a monkey!" He reached into his pocket trying to find some sort of a candy or food that he had gotten from the festivities before.

"By the way, do you snore?" he asked Kiri as he pulled out a burlap back full of snacks.

Dueling Club HQ

Everyone in the clubroom would hear steps coming from behind them, a large black and white cat with bright yellow eyes appeared right below them, jumped onto the desk before it paused for a moment to stare at Gaston and his paperwork. The creature meowed softly and nodded as he looked at Tony, it seems it understood what the man was going through, suddenly the cat jumped right onto Mercurious's shoulders before getting right on top of his head, it yawned before laying down in a comfortable sleeping position right on top of Merc, it seemed clear that it was familiar with that particular place with lax the creature seemed sleeping right on it

Nyxus, who sensed magic, could clearly see that the cat's mana seemed more at the capacity of a human than any regular house cat and it was fluctuating fast as if the animal was casting a spell at the moment.

monkey madness

Erin decided to at least give the whole swooping down on the monkey thing another try. She rose into the air, silently gliding through the air for a few seconds before swooping down towards the monkey, her clawed hands ready to grab it.

Mireena's Tower (HORK)

Concettina... found herself locking up in shock once more, going pale at the sheer amount of tomfoolery she's experience today. "C-Chimpanzee. Here, on my head... G-gg-gggh-"... She... sounds more than ready to just, burst, clearly having had enough of today.

Màna Inner Rim, Mireena's Tower, the 14th Hour

"Hmmmmm," Harry eyed the monkey sternly, as if drawing a bead with his crossbow. Thankfully, the little beast had stopped throwing pies. It was tricky to appeal to familiars, given that their intellects were slightly more advanced. So, he grasped an idea... And made his way closer to Concetina and her unwanted passenger.

"Miss," he said in a chipper voice. His stride slowed and he kept his palms open, to show that he meant to harm. "Good morning, miss. I need you to remain calm. And a good morning to you too, little master." Harry gave the monkey the same amount of respect he would any citizen of Allurand. "May I come closer?

Gabrielle Milleflue - Academy Gates

"... I told you it's alright, Papa. Don't worry... you know if anything, I know how to smooth things over. Yes... I'll miss you too" says one particular student of the distinguished Academy as she stepped out of the carriage that had taken her up to the gates... she was almost sure she was the latest arriving student of the day but it couldn't be helped. Looking at her adopted father, the only dad she had known all her life she smiled slightly, a bit of genuine warmth creeping into it as she realized she meant the words she was saying. Their relationship had not been the best for a long time... he was stubborn, he clung to tradition and bluster... he was insecure at times... and he had a short temper. For a few years, the tall, broad shouldered man had been the second scariest thing in her life. But now... now she had taken control... she had rescued the relationship and healed her family. She did it herself... and that was what mattered. She held his big hands without a hint of fear... instead with genuine affection as they bid their farewells.

"Take care of yourself... remember to count the beads when your tension is rising, I won't be around to remind you for a while, ok?" she says, meaning the bracelet she had made for him... the one they had used when fixing his anger... with a few suggestions, counting the beads, running his fingers over them helped him be in control of himself. That was the second step to fixing their relationship. The first one had been to fix herself.

"... And, take care of our Star while I'm away, alright? You'll have only yourselves, so you better make sure to make each other happy" she says, her happiness dipping a little bit. The mentioned Star was actually her adoptive [ ], her Papa's wife and of course, the woman who had raised her. And the reason why she couldn't call her what she was, what she had for many years, was due to one of the many curses on her... of the many suggestions and traps put on her spirit and mind.

For this pink haired student had a secret... and that secret was a real biological Mama that made all evil Stepmothers in Fairy Tales pale in comparison. Mama had decided a couple years back that she wanted to complicate her life some more... or perhaps she grew jealous of how well she was getting along with her Star. So she gave her another curse... and since that day, the young student could not call the woman who cared for her and actually loved her... what she had always called her. What she truly was. Instead now the word was linked to the witch she hated more than anything else in the world. And she'd call her something that sounds a whole lot like witch but is a lot nastier if not cause she was also cursed not to call her that... the last time she did, she tasted blood as if her tongue had been given a cut with a knife. To this day she doesn't know if her tongue actually got a cut or if she had just been made to feel pain as if it had. Quite a lovely Mama, that witch. Ever since, not wanting to call her Star something as cold as her name she began to come up with little nicknames, calling her those as warmly as she could, making a game of it so she wouldn't realize that is has been a few years since she called her what she used to call her by. What she truly was.

With that memory to sour lightly her farewells, Gabrielle Dahlia Milleflue turned her back onto the carriage carrying her Papa, and faced the tower of the Goddess... the Academy where she'd study from now on. Her bright, blue eyes stared at it as if it was an enemy... or rather, a challenge. Here she was for one reason and one reason only. To become stronger. Probably not in the way that most thought of strength... she was frail as a flower. But indeed, she meant to become strong enough to never again be afraid. And more importantly... to become the Mistress of her own fate. The young Changeling closed her fist tightly, her face setting into a defiant, neutral, resting expression before she checked herself in a pocket mirror. Hair, gorgeous. Face, light make up done, lips, perfect, complexion, to die for. Uniform, as well as an uniform could go. Depending on the fashion she found within the Academy she'd see if she could customize... but lacking enough intel, a properly fitted set is the best thing she can bring to this battlefield.

From the hood of her robes, her familiar, Millie, slung out for a moment... the albino winged serpent, sensing the general tension in the air wrapped around her neck loosely and nuzzled against her cheek for a moment, enough for Gabrielle to pet her head and let her rest again in her hood before she marched towards the Academy. Her trunk should have been sent ahead of time, so it should have arrived in time... Now however, Gabrielle marched straight towards the faculty office, to introduce herself...

"Good evening...? Sorry for the tardiness. I'm Gabrielle Dahlia Milleflue... Entering the Enchantment School. I'm sorry, my father brought me to town and we were deterred at a checkpoint since he was bringing some wares from back home" says Gabrielle to the appropriate authorities, bowing her head as politely as she can manage as she hopes to be given instructions on what to do.

If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.

Near Gabby

Koko panted happily as he scuttled a bit. This new place was so interesting. So intriguing. So much treasure to be collected and so many people to say hi to. He scuttled forward, forward, forward, going faster until he nearly rammed into somebody. A girl. Or at least Koko thought it was a girl. Bipedal creatures were hard to tell the gender of for a simple mimic. Especially when master is apparently a guy.

But I diverge, for Koko noticed fast enough, that he managed to slow his skittering scuttling, and managed to grind to a halt so that he would only lightly tap against the legs of the pink haired girl waiting for something. Koko scuttled backwards a bit, and leaned upwards, looking at her and panting happily.

Tower of Mireena - End of Monkey Business

Eura may or may not have let out an unladylike squeal of surprise when Asher landed on her shoulder. She followed that up by blushing furiously and getting tongue-tied. Of course.

"W-well, um, yes, a-annoying...I-I mean the monkey is annoying! Y-you're attractive. N-not as a cat obviously, but in your real....please murder me."

Eura sighed. She could hear Mother's facepalm from across the country already.

Meanwhile, the monkey looked at Harry with a solemn expression....before conjuring a banana peel and throwing it at his face.

It then flipped back to look at Shira, frowned, and was immediately yanked by the Mage Hand.

.....for all of two seconds until Erim grabbed the thing physically and snatched it away from the spell.

The monkey shrieked in outrage, teleported with a puff of smoke in the avian's hands and....

Found itself inside a small metal cage held in the arms of someone who had just walked into the room.

"That's quite enough, you annoying thing. ....Why Melisandre insists on wasting my time, I don't know, ugh."

The new arrival was a man in his early thirties, shoulder length brown hair, reddish-brown eyes, over which sat black rimmed glasses. He was tall and lanky, dressed in perfectly prepared blue robes. His voice was deep, accent distinctly Elysian.

The monkey howled and tried to teleport...to no effect.

The man sighed and glanced at everyone. "Show's over, children. I believe you all have to go to your dorms and unpack or whatever rot you do? Well? Go."


Duel Club HQ

Gaston nodded at the cat in greeting, while Eris gave it a thumbs up. For his part, Mercurius smiled widely, and put up a hand to pat the cat's head.

"There you are, Bren. Darling, we have recruits so why don't you change back? I've missed your handsome face too."

The captain then smiled at Nala. "Oh, that won't be a problem, as long as ypu want to join, we'll have you. Besides, I know my team will be happy to help you. Maybe one on one, yes, Eris?"

Eris returned the earlier dirty look. "I ain't that desperate, Skaya!"

Merc laughed and returned his attention to Nyxus.

"Well, a tour of the stadium it is! Follow me!"

A few minutes later, Merc, Eris and Gaston (more than happy to leave his paperwork behind) had led the recruits into the stadium behind the office.

It was bigger inside than out, wooden flooring (the team had removed their shoes upon entering) and floating orbs of light on the ceiling.

On the walls were shelves and racks, filled with thick tomes and assorted weapons. They could see swords, staves, bows and axes, and even odd exotic ones including Genzai-style shurikens or the curved machete-like itaks from Hamal.

A door was in the far left corner, and a sign hung over it saying "Changing Room/Showers".

But what dominated the room was the large, raised rectangular ring in the middle, almost like a large boxing ring, and on the four corners were ten feet tall obelisks, faintly humming and glowing purple. Everyone, not even just Nyxus, could feel the ambient magical energy in the air.

Merc grinned. "So. Who wants to try?"


Enchantment Department: Faculty Room

As Gabrielle entered, she would see two people inside, on opposite sides of the desk.

One was a rather good-looking half-orc man, and the other was a human woman.

The woman was dressed in a light colored, sleeveless dress and had a peculiar silvery white color to her hair, which grew long and wild, barely held back by a hairband. She had eyes of deep purple, and carried a small doll...one that looked like a prince in red and gold. She couldn't have been older than eighteen.

"...But what if I was a deer? Ever wonder what it would be like? I like deers..." the woman was telling the half-orc.

At Gabrielle's arrival, the woman turned to look at her.

"Oh. Cloudy, look, one of your students is here."

.....And then Koko.

"....Also a mimic." She continued, deadpan, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Nothing is what it seems. Master of Shipping and Sadism.

Tower of Mireena: Dia, Medagalia and Ren

Dia snorted after hearing the name of the familiar, holding back her laughter slightly, she sighed as the rest of the students made their attempts at capturing him, it seems it was all useless, until an actual staff member moved in to save the day? A teacher likely. Dia shrugged, speaking to herself "Well that was anti-climactic" She looked up at the sky, noticing it was late and she had no time to talk to the teacher , as she walked back towards dormmates she noticed Eura with a beastkin on her shoulder, she chuckled and shouted to the girl as she walked away.

"Hey good luck with your pet boyfriend Eura!" Finally she got back to Medagalia and Ren, poking her left cheek she pointed in the direction of dorm Theo.

"What do you two say we get to our room finally? I have to make that paper for mister stick-in-mud headmaster before midnight" Maxwell showed a wide grin as the thought of Seth came to her mind.

"I can't wait to see that bastard's face"

Tower of Mireena: Shira Concett and Maybe Harry??

Shira blinked rapidly as an Avian swooped down to take the monkey away from her, in a flash, it seems the familiar came into 3 people's grasp one after the other before finally ending up in the hand of a teacher, the beastkin sighed in relief before bowing to the teacher of Evocation.

"Thank you very much mister Andreas, Meli's familiar can be quite a handful to deal with on our own"

The knaflayil looked at Concett, the worry in her eyes clear, she spoke calmly, trying to comfort her by showing strength.

"Come on Concettina, it's getting late, I'll get you to your dorm room now, I promise you we'll look at Theatre room tomorrow, come on let's go, I bet your roommates will be good and proper people" The president smiled at her, gesturing towards the small lady's dorm with her hands.

Dueling Club HQ

The cat purred as Skaya patted its head, but "Recruits? Excuse me, I'm a bit tired. Wanted to lay on your head Mercky, oh well" The animal jumped back to the floor, green sparks flew from the feline before slowly fur gave place to muscles, skin and finally hair and clothing.

The fully transformed normal human was medium-height and lanky, with orange eyes and dark-black long hair tied in a long ponytail from the bottom, he has a red mark on his forehead, his body was covered with dark-grey robe that ended a few centimeters above his feet and had the symbol of the Transmutation and Abjuration colleges, tied around his waist was a leather belt and light-blue cloth, and above his robe was the regular black cloak of the school.

The man stretched his left arm and spoke, his accent was unclear, it was unlike all the other humans the two would've heard until now and it only barely sounded Allurandian.

"It's nice to meet you two, my name Brendan Donnely, I'm the vice president of the Dueling Club, leading it with the this little bastard who never does his paperwork"

The man said, smiling at Skaya mischiviously before following him as they did a tour of the facility, after a few minutes, he patted Mercurious in the shoulder "Hey I'm not in full vigor today, sorry, Hartwin took me to do chores for her, you know how it is"

Bren sighed before they finally got to the weapon storage room. Brendan stretched his arms, pointed towards the Itaks and looked at Nala and Nyxus "I suggest using the exotic knives they're quite good and easy to handle, even for beginners"

Enchantment Department: Faculty Room:Gabby, Koko, Frost and Geshem

On the desk opposite to the young, purple-eyed woman was a tall and well built half-orc man, wearing a simple brown shirt and black pants, even with clothing his physique was incredibly visible, he obviously put in effort to get those muscles, he had piercing yellow-green eyes and long smooth auburn hair tied behind in a ponytail, one of his longer, orc teeth were showing despite his closed mouth. Standing on the orc's left shoulder was a small mockingbird with a strikingly black tail, beautiful white and grey feathers and a big sharp beak, the animal looked at Gabrielle, tilting its head to the left as her owner spoke to his fellow teacher. "You ask the weirdest questions Geshem" The big man chuckled as he answered. "Well if you were a deer you would've had to fear for hunters now wouldn't you? It would be nice to roam free in the forest but unfortunately there's bad sides to everything".

The teacher turned as the woman he was talking to pointed at the coming student, he bowed his head politely in return to the student, smiling he spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Good evening, don't worry Miss Gabrielle it's no issue, Welcome to Màna! I'll be teaching you Enchantment in the academy, my name is Claudio Frost, and my friend is Miss Geshem Mishamayim, she's the teacher for Diviners, she can ask some weird things but I promise you she's a good teacher"

Claudio inspected Gabby as he looked at his desk and opened one of his drawers, taking out a small rock and a parchment.

"This is a communication stone if you want to talk to someone you stored in there if they're in the city, and here is a parchment with your dorm assignments"

If she read the small paper she was given by Frost, Milleflue would notice she was assigned to room 105 of dorm Theo in the East Inner Rim, she was roommates up with Concettina Mastrogiovanni and Elodie Allard.

The half-orc suddenly looked below her to notice Koko, completely unfazed he lowered his eyes to take a closer look at the creature.

"Miss Gabrielle is this mimic yours?"

Duel Club

At Merc and Eris exchanged Nala decided to get in on the fun herself. Stepping over to Eris the elf put her hands on the other woman's shoulders and lightly rested her chin on top of her hands.

"Eris....are you saying you don't want to spend time with me?" She asked, doing her best to feign hurt as Jerry made several small hoots of comfort as he nuzzled his master.

The illusion broke a moment later when a tour was offered. "Yes, that sounds wonderful!" Nala said, leaving Eris with a teasing smirk.

When they reached the weapons closet and Brendan pointed out the knives, Nala reached out and picked one that looked like an over-sized ritual knife. "Lovely, do you sell them here or is there somewhere in the city I need to go to get myself a personal one?"

Duel Club: Fight?

"...I'd wish to duel, if you don't mind."

Up until this statement, aimed at Mercurius, Nyxus had kept quiet during the tour. For once, though, it wasn't due to being lost in thought; rather, the young elf was listening to the president, as well as making sure that he could keep track of where everything was. He wasn't sure whether it was the opportunity to potentially dueling again, or merely the ambient mana in the air, but while he was keeping mostly reserved in his body language, internally he was excited, for the first time in a while.

"Thanks for the advice," Nyxus said to the shapeshifter, a slight smile forming on his face as he took down a bow and quiver from the wall, "but this isn't my first time."

Now, let's hope I'm not too rusty. Last thing I want to do is come off as reckless...

Gabrielle Milleflue - Faculty Office

Gabrielle nodded her head as she received the information, taking a quick glance at the paper before her... quickly memorizing the information on it, as something draws her attention downwards as the explanation was reaching an end. It was... a chest. On legs. Panting.

The word Mimic by her teacher helped her put two and two together, linking the creature with what she had read before. Elegantly crouching down to take a look at it, she says softly "Huh... aren't you a curious thing" then as she was asked whenever the creature was hers, absentmindedly, she lifted it up on her hands... cradling it softly roughly over her belly, with the opening of the chest facing away from her. No need for licks on her uniform "Ah, no Professor Frost... my familiar is a winged snake" she says tilting her head for Millie, the albino snake to peek out... a pretty snake with white scales, some of which were a light pinkish tone, red eyes and wings growing a little bit underneath the head. Millie looked out, tasted the air and then hid again on her hood.

As for the information given... now this was a bit inconvenient. She wanted to ask for a private room, but getting here late she worries she's already in a bit of bad standing to be making requests... plus, if there were any free rooms, they surely got snatched already. Letting out a little sigh of relief, she surrenders to her fate of having to have roommates... at least, for the moment.

As for the teachers... they were certainly not what she was expecting. To a certain degree. A divination teacher that seemed a bit airy was a bit par the course, though she certainly didn't expect someone that looked that young. Her teacher though... certainly not what she expected, and he put her a little out of balance... He was quite handsome after all... rugged but in just the right way, very well built... she wondered how much was natural and how much he cautiously put effort in... after all, of all magics, Enchantment certainly has the most to do with projecting the right appearances.

Cold Rivers, Cold Lakes... Icy Waters Bring Temperance. Cold Rivers, Cold Lakes... she thinks to herself... activating one of her self imposed triggers, activating her self hypnosis... cooling herself up, stilling herself, pulling back on her emotions so her face would more easily remain emotionless and neutral. Polite, yes, agreeable, yes... she'd smile, but always in control of herself.

"It is a pleasure to meet the two of you... Though I'll certainly be lacking in many areas, I truly look forward to your instruction, Professors. I can already tell I'm in great hands" says Gabrielle with a polite, though charming smile "Should I look for this little one's owner or is there anything else I should know, Professor Frost?"

Duelling Club - Arena

Eris was pouting all the way to the arena when Nala teased her, although there was a hint of a blush on her face.

Mercurius, on the other hand, looked completely in control. He glanced at Nala picking out the knives and grinned.

"Heh. Typical Bren, reccommending those. Well, while you can certainly order or make your own weapons - and I know a few good places in the Outer Rim - if you join the club, you can use any one of these, or heck, you can put in a request and we can get them for you. I made those, by the way. Mother like mine, you tend to learn."

He then turned his attention towards Nyxus. "Well, someone's eager! Hmm, would you like to duel each other or...?"

"I'll do it!" Gaston immediately volunteered. "Two on one. And I'm an Abjurer, so it's not like there'll be intense firepower or anything."

Eris laughed. "Anythin' to get out of paperwork, Tony? Aww, well. So, what do y'all reckon? Two on one with Tony. Izzat okay?"


Faculty Room

Geshem tilted her head slightly so that she faced Gabrielle directly, purple orbs staring right at her, unblinking. ....It was slightly uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Gabby, we can find this tiny one's person ourselves. You don't have to trouble yourself."

A slight pause, and Geshem continued to stare at Gabrielle.

"....And also, I think you're going to solve your issues eventually. Don't give up, you choose your own fate."

With that Geshem seemed satisfied, turning away from Gabrielle and cuddling her doll.

"...What? I didn't freak her out. Stop being mean, brother...."

....She was also talking to the doll.


Màna Inner Rim, School Dorms: Eighteenth Hour - Previous Scenes can be continued via flashback

Each of Màna's dorms were mostly identical. Each were rectangular five storey stone buildings, painted with colors and symbols of a College. They had a small garden out front, and were surrounded by steel fences. Inside, on the first floor was a great foyer, then the kitchen and dining rooms, plus a living room, a small study room with desks and fully stocked bookshelves, as well as two bedrooms (100 and 105). The rest of the bedrooms were on the upper floors, as well as a small leisure room on the 5th floor (it had a pool table, a collection of chess sets, playing cards, a dart board and two guitars). The roof could be acessed, and there was a small rooftop lounge with chairs and umbrellas.


Dorm Alice

Dorm Alice was painted black, as it was the traditional Necromancy dorm, although nowadays almost a third of the population were Evokers, because their own traditional Dorm Joash was always overflowing. The garden was barren, although someone had painted a rainbow above the front door.

In the foyer was a portrait of a stern looking redhaired woman.

But Eura didn't notice that. She had dumped her bag into her room and went right to the kitchen.

It was good that it was fully stocked! She needed a lot to make her welcome cakes! If there was one thing outside of magic and studying that Eura was confident in, it was her baking. And she had resolved to bake cakes for her new dormmates. Friends through food!

Humming slightly to herself, Eura smiled. This was going to be great!

Meanwhile, as soon as Kiri arrived to his assigned room, he would see a package on one of the desks. A small wood box, with words written on them in elegant handwriting.

"To Kiri. From Mother."


Dorm Beatrix

Dorm Beatrix was a light gray, and its garden was beautiful and well kept. Sunflowers and lilies, small bonsai trees, and even a tall oak from which hung a small homemade swing.

In the foyer was a portait of a dwarven woman in full plate armor.

In the room where Nyxus was assigned, a small glowing sapphire sat on the pillow of his bed.

Meanwhile, in Cormac's room, on the desk was a small potted plant - a young yew tree. The sacred tree of Solera.


Dorm Theodore

Dorm Theo was a bright gold...and there was smoke coming out of a ground floor window. Two people were outside, sitting at the garden, well-kept but not as pretty as in Beatrix, a small shed built to the right of the dorm.

One of the two, a mousy brown haired half-orc girl with glasses, wad glaring at a sheepish looking yellow dragonborn.

Monkey Trouble, Then

Medaglia couldn't help but tsk. Such a troublesome familiar that was. At least the situation was contained now. What a ridiculous name for a summoned aid, however. "Magikazam" did not befit a mere monkey familiar, someone named Medaglia the Falcon thought. With the problem solved, the avian decided to do as advertised and headed towards the dorm. "Let us." He said to Dia, his heightened voice having dissipated by now.


Dorm , Now

It looked like disorder reigned in their dorm. Medaglia frowned under his mask as his steps took him towards it. "Have we a fire in the dorm?" He asked the half-orc and the dragonborn in a tone that suggested incredulity. What kind of argument could be more important than taking notice of a house fire?

His own ability to conjure water was limited, but even he could carry a bucketful.

Before: Kiri and Temple

"What?" Kiri looked at Temple with annoyance and confusion as he glanced around. "What, are you talking about that Asher guy? He's not my familiar!"

And then he seemed to freeze up with some embarrassment at his future roommate's next question. "And no, I don't snore!"

Before Kiri could even realize it, the situation involving the loose monkey familiar had both complicated and resolved before he could contribute any more. When he realized the absurd situation had ended and he was left standing next to the strange necromancer-in-training, he simply glared at Temple one last time before heading for Dorm Alice in silence.

Kiri and Temple

Ah, that was Asher. Temple could already tell the man was a powerful necromamcer due to his use of shamanistic transvestitism.

As the monkey situation ended, Temple looked at Kiri, before suddenly a golden opportunity revealed itself to him. "Why can't your cage do that?" He asked, enjoying the glare he was sure to recieve.

He picked up his shovel and followed Kiri to the room.

Duel Club

Nala shrugged gently weighing the dagger in her hand. "Well, what you think? Jerry can probably help us out some too. We'll definitely need a way to get past all the wards." She commented as she looked over at Nyxus.

She turned to the others. "In any case I don't mind a threeway myself..." She gave the others a slight mischievous smile. "But I can hardly speak for everyone else." She adjusted her grip on the dagger and those paying attention would notices that the way she handled the dagger seemed like she was very familiar.
