[color=a187be][h2][center]~Livia Fiore, Lyssa, and Myrilla Sathanus~ ~Semester 1, Day 1~[/center][/h2][/color] [color=ec008c]"You've had a pleasant day, I hope?"[/color] The [url=http://safebooru.org//samples/1707/sample_d98ff1dd05ecd4571d8ea88f0a8e301733b31739.png?1785974]female dressed rather elaborately[/url] across from her asked with a friendly smile. Despite the friendly and casual tone, even Livia couldn't help but to feel a little intimidated by her. Not that she was going to go around saying such a thing though. She wasn't one to easily give into such things as intimidation. [color=a187be]"It has gone as well as one might expect."[/color] Livia replied with a sigh, setting down a teacup and leaning back in her chair. [color=a187be]"The first day of any semester has its fair share of problems, especially with the new students. Some running off and...causing problems for the locals."[/color] Livia glanced around her well decorated office. A plush carpet covered the wooden floor, several high quality chairs dotted the room and bookshelves lined the wall. A fireplace to warm the room stood against one of the walls, and [color=ec008c]"Oh, I understand."[/color] The pink haired woman said, a small smile forming on her lips. [color=ec008c]"Paperwork, making sure everything is in order...we have similar work, after all. The only difference is that I'm one of the heads of an entire race of people. Oh sure, there are seven of us but running an entire civilization by ourselves especially considering the state we're in after those accursed holy wars is no easy feat."[/color] She was speaking of the Crusades that have taken place over the past few centuries. Livia was quite well aware of the happenings of that time, even if she wasn't anywhere near old enough to take place in them herself. If you looked hard enough though, you could find people to tell you stories...and the dead were surprisingly talkative if you knew how to speak to them. [color=ec008c]"We lost so many people. Filling in their shoes and the power void left behind has left us in no small amount of disarray and yet,"[/color] Her crimson eyes narrowed at Livia, their vertical, snake like irises would have likely made any other human run in absolute terror. [color=ec008c]"I still have time to make sure my precious little daughter is behaving herself."[/color] Livia simply sighed at this. She had already received word about what happened at the pastry shop earlier. [color=a187be]"Of course, I would expect no less from Lady Sathanus."[/color] She narrowed her own eyes at the demon in front of her. [color=a187be]"However, maybe if you didn't spoil your child, she wouldn't be causing so many problems to begin with. After all, if she just waltzes around and does whatever she wants...its more of a reflection of the parents rather than the child. Besides, she never even came to classes before then. I can't very well watch her if she doesn't even introduce herself."[/color] [color=ec008c]"Oho...those are some good excuses for a creature that can barely be called a human at this point."[/color] The demon harshly replied. [color=a187be]"Resorting to petty insults? How very appropriate for the demon Sathanus. Can't even come up with a proper argument."[/color] [color=ec008c]"One doesn't need to argue when they're right, do they? There's no point in trying to convince stubborn, saggy old hags that they're wrong. It would be better to put them out of their ignorant misery."[/color] The tension the two were creating in the room was thick enough that there was an oppressive aura of aggression coming from the room. Of course, it was simply the usual routine for these two. They hadn't quite come to blows yet, but considering both of their dispositions, if things continued like this they likely would end up eventually fighting one of these days. [color=f6989d]"Uhm..h-hello?~"[/color] Suddenly the tension was cut off by a pink haired girl, Lyssa poking her head into the room. [color=f6989d]"I was told to-mom!?"[/color] The young girl was obviously a bit surprised to see her mother their, apparently not expecting to see her for some time. [color=f6989d]"Ehe, w-what are you doing here?"[/color] She continued, sounding more than a little nervous. This was going to take awhile, wasn't it? And she even had a date with Lukas! Ugh, she was going to feel terrible if this took so long and it looked like she ditched him. That was just bad manners and not fun! She'd miss all the sweets! [color=ec008c]"Ah...my little Lyssa. I simply came to see how your first day went. Any problems? These humans haven't given you any trouble I hope?"[/color] Any hostility in her voice immediately left when Lyssa entered the room. [color=f6989d]"U-uhm. Well...I uhm, got rather intimate with some sweets and made a pretty cute friend, but um, other than that nope!~"[/color] Myrilla sighed, though said nothing. Her daughters habit of twisting the truth to try and get out of punishment or something was a bit of a bad habit. [color=a187be]"At any rate, you fill her in on what we're doing."[/color] Livia sighed, glad that little farce was over with. She stood from her chair, giving the demon a dismissive wave. [color=a187be]"I shall tell the staff what our goal here is. Both of you shall be present, and I do hope you intend to introduce yourselves."[/color] [color=ec008c]"Of course, Livia...that is why we're here after all, and I would [i]hate[/i] to cause more work for you~"[/color] Livia simply shook her head, and walked through a door that lead from her office to the meeting room. Lyssa had no idea what had just happened, and simply looked at her mom, then to Livia, then back to her mom again with a quizzical look. [hr] Upon entering the meeting room, Livia quickly regained her composure, walking over to a podium where she would address the gathered teachers. [color=a187be]"As always, thank you for coming this evening."[/color] Livia began with a smile. [color=a187be]"I will try to keep this meeting short, but there are some...developments this year that will require the utmost attention from everyone present."[/color] She went on to list a few of the usual things. The schools budget, which was as ever, unusually high for a school of even their standing. Many had to always question where the extra money came from, and there were many rumors regarding it but there were never any answers regarding the subject. After that, came an overview of any major events this semester. Festivals, school held events such as magic shows, art galleries things of the scholarly interest such as those. A few mention of some troublesome creatures causing trouble across Europe, that would need students or teachers dispatched to take care of them. For the most part, it was business as usual until they reached the end of their agenda. [color=a187be]"Before I move on...I would simply say that if anyone here is highly religious and have anything against demons, you might as well resign now."[/color] That was certain to get their attention. [color=8dc73f][h3][center]~Gwynn FoghlĂș~[/center][/h3][/color] The rest of the class passed rather uneventfully for Gwynn. She made sure to at least try and behave herself in class, but that didn't mean she had to entirely pay attention. She wasn't exactly one for the academic arts. Reading, maths, things like those. She really could have cared less about them. The only one she was even mildly interested in, was history, and for once she was even motivated to take some rather detailed notes herself when that subject came up. For the most part though, she simply ended up doodling or fiddling discreetly with her ice magic. When the afternoon break came, she made sure to meet up with the kid she was sitting next to so she could give him proper advice on how to woo the ladies. 1. Confidence! People, liked confidence. Confidence in anything was key. She made sure to demonstrate such confidence on a passing girl herself. She quickly got rejected and slapped, but that was fine! It led to point two. 2. Accept rejection! Not all people are going to be so easily wooed, so he shouldn't trouble himself over a rejection. 3. Persistence! Now, as long as he didn't get creepy about it, and the target of his didn't give him a straight up no, then he should flirt a little and pursue them. 4. Flirt! Be a little roguishly mischievous. People liked impish behavoir as long as it wasn't anything straight up bad stuff. Make them laugh, be humorous but not overbearing. And that was about it really. Well, that's what she did to flirt with pretty much everyone. Would it work for him? Well, she was curious, but unfortunately since she promised Maoin she would give this 'Swen' guy a chance, she couldn't exactly see how her new best friends date went. Instead, she was propped up on the bed in her and Maoin's dorm, spinning a diamond shaped piece of ice on her finger as she idly waited for time to leave for this date that she was pretty sure was going to end up being terrible. Ugh, she really wanted to just skip out and go do her usual vigilante work and kick someones butt. But nope, she was stuck here.
