“Oh uh… Hello!” Muse greeted awkwardly as he retracted his wings, looking the two newcomers over. The one who approached him, Bellua, didn’t look like a roleplayer, though he could’ve been mistaken. He definitely sensed one nearby, though, so it was probably the girl… 

“Ah, my name is Muse.” He introduced himself. “And this is Books, and the bird is Ebil.” He introduced his two companions, gesturing to them, respectfully. “Though he’s usually human in nature.” He informed the newcomers. Then, whispering to Ebil, “It’s ok to change back now, by the way.” 

“Anyway! We probably shouldn’t spend too long on pleasantries. This part of the school’s turning to void! Either of you know any good escape routes? Or perhaps a safe area?”

GM grinned. “Agreed!” he chirped, pleased that Leon would be so eager to serve him, and happily dashed into the other room with his arms spread wide. He sat down cross-legged on the floor with his computer on his lap, just as he had when he woke Leon earlier that night, and re-opened what he’d been fiddling with before, quickly rummaging through some files to find what he’d been looking for. He placed the laptop on the floor in front of him as he beckoned Leon into the room, then pushed the screen down so that the entire device lay flat on the floor. Once he was sure he had Leon’s attention, he pressed something on the keyboard, and the content on the screen seemed to reach upward as what was previously a 3D model on a 2D screen became a full-fledged hologram floating in three-dimensional space in front of them. The image in front of them was Rin, though scaled down considerably, and still in a healthy state. 

“Here’s Rin when I first got her.” GM spoke. “Terribly plain, I know, she was one of my first beasts – in terms of my Guild reign, at least. Not to mention I used her for a lot of basic experiments, so I didn’t exactly take the best care of her.” He explained. “Ah well, I can just make another. A [i]better[/i] Rin, more suited for long-term use.” He turned back towards Leon. “How did you say you killed her, again?”
