October Crypt

Location: the Alucard Institute @Nallore


October paused for a moment, looking at Carolina with a face of genuine confusion. The early bird gets the worm? What sort of nonsense was that? She shook her head slightly, assuming that it must have been an expression of some sort of brain trauma on Carolina's part. They had been through quite a lot in the past few days, so she supposed it would make sense. Or perhaps Carolina was merely using her acting skills to show how periods made one a bit delusional?

"You're doing excellently at saying nonsense," October finally said, deciding that her last explanation had to be it. She followed her friend into the classroom, taking an open desk next to her. The other students in the class hardly seemed to be in a good mood. Most of them stared down with various expressions of dismay at their desks, with October raising an eyebrow. Such a dejected and sour atmosphere, one appropriate for a funeral...She regretted briefly that this school would likely be shut down soon.

"Good morning, class," Faust said, as he swept into the room. He was wearing a different meatsuit than he did normally. However, October couldn't help but note that this one seemed to suit him much better - no pun intended. "Today will be your first lesson in a History of Persecution. And what better way to learn than through experience?" Faust added, his mouth twisting up into a smile. The atmosphere of the room went from bad to terrible in seconds, as he made his way to the chalkboard and took up a piece of chalk.

"As you are all aware, no one completed the task on your first day at the school to retrieve the artifact I had hidden in the town," Faust said. "Someone more naive may assume that this was because you were simply unable to - but as it stands, the artifact is missing."

"Maybe a normal took it," October suggested. A few other students murmured agreement. It was clear they were largely doing so in hopes that Faust wouldn't carry out whatever threat he had in mind.

"Maybe they did, Miss... Miss Crypt, isn't it?" Faust replied curtly. "But a lesson will be learned either way. Now, does anyone know how much cyanide the human body can handle before death?" Faust paused for a moment, seeing only October raise her hand. "Approximately 3 mg per liter of blood in the body. There are about 5.5 liters of blood in the human body. Every day until the artifact is returned, three students will be randomly served dishes containing 22 mg of cyanide...Perhaps you will survive. Perhaps you will die a painful death. If you simply choose not to eat, you can last for three weeks."

"That, my dears, is your lesson on persecution."

Carolina looked towards October for a moment raising an eyebrow towards her comment before they left their room, and simply shook her head October was pretty different from pretty much everyone that she knew personally. But she was the person that she truly did trust here, that's when Faust entered the classroom. He was certainly in a different meatsuit, but she didn't really pay much attention to his appearance right now.

Carolina was leaning forward when Faust was about to start the lesson apparently they were going to be learning on persecution, but she also got the vibe that everyone in the room. Everyone did seem to have a sour mood, when they didn't find the artifact though Carolina and October had found it last night it was now in SHIELD custody. Carolina's heart then dropped at what Faust was telling them, that they could be eating poisoned food until they find the artifact.

She wasn't sure if he was going to be sending in any 'food' for them to eat, but Carolina wasn't going to take a chance Carolina leaned forward letting out a very loud groan. Her eyes looking up at Faust before raising her hand towards him while holding her side pretending that she was having a cramp, Carolina used her other hand. "Mr Faust?" Carolina finally asked looking towards October for a second. "I uhm, have my monthly cycle I think. Is it possible for me to go to the bathroom?" Carolina finally asked hoping that maybe he would let her go at least.

Faust glanced over at Carolina and looked at her with disgust. Sure, he was a demon but apparently, October had been right. Even demons were grossed out at the thought of periods and willing to let a student go to the restroom to handle them. Of course, it could have been more simply a disgust for human anatomy, but it was hard to tell. "Fine, go, just be quick about it," Faust stressed, waving his hand at Carolina as a cart of poisoned food was wheeled into the room.

"I have mine too," October said, raising her hand. Faust huffed and nodded, ushering at her with his hand to get lost. October picked up her things and quickly exited the classroom, hoping that Carolina was right behind her. She then quickly picked the lock to Faust's office and slipped inside, ready to find out every secret he was hiding. And most importantly, why he had started this school for the gifted in the first place.

Carolina nodded once Faust had given her the okay to go, seeing the disgust on the demon's face as he waved her off she started to grab her things and quickly started to leave the room while still holding her stomach slightly. Just to continue to play the part that she was having a very tense period. Carolina noticed the cart of the poisoned food that was being brought in and couldn't help but shuddered at the thought of being forced to eat the poisoned food herself. They really did need to get the police involved in this school if they were poisoning the kids due to the ring.

October had a lead ahead of her and they were now standing in front of Faust's office, she watched her friend starting to pick the lock wondering how she exactly picked it up. But it was probably a question for another time, they did have a job to do after all once they entered the office Carolina quietly closed the door behind them. Carolina made a beeline straight towards his desks and started to look and see what was there, and started to try the drawers as well. "Think he will suspect us for sneaking into his office?" Carolina asked October looking over at her friend.

October Crypt

Location: the Alucard Institute @Nallore


"Potentially," October mused. Since Carolina had gone over to his desk, she went over to the filing cabinet in the corner. There were five drawers and she opened them all up, quickly skimming through. For the most part, the drawers seemed to just contain records on the students and she used her powers to set them ablaze, shutting the metal cabinet drawers in an attempt to keep the smoke from going all over the place. S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't specified that as part of the mission, but October didn't care. Registration of people with powers never ended well, in her opinion.

The last drawer she looked through in the filing cabinet, however, contained something she hadn't quite expected: a deed to a cemetery plot. It was incredibly ancient and October glanced at it for a moment, her mind turning. "Carolina...Emmanuel George Whitney, born in 1610...." October mused. Her family had extensive burial records, but it struck her as curious that this was the only one in the file. Her mind continued to mull it all over until she came up with an answer. "Faust is a demon," she concluded. "So all we need to do is smoke him out of his flesh suit, then...And I believe this is the location of his bones, for insurance and or threatening him with."

Carolina continued to search through Faust's desk she couldn't really find anything good or interesting, as she opened the drawers up in the desk there were papers, but nothing really stuck out as odd or interesting to her. She would occasionally look over towards the door, so far there wasn't anyone coming to the door just yet. And then she turned her attention over towards October seeing her friend suddenly setting the files in the filing cabinet on fire.

She quickly went over towards her, she wasn't sure if it was very wise setting all of the files on fire, they were the only ones in his office, and they both left his office at the same time as well. "Do you think that was smart setting the cabinet on fire like that?" Carolina asked, and leaned forward slightly as she looked at the record that she got her hands on. She didn't really know all that much about ghosts and spirits which was something out of her knowledge at least right now. "So, we find his grave and we kill the demon correct?" Carolina asked October.

"Yes - I mean, S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted us to gather information on Faust, identify him," October reminded Carolina. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had been quite clear on these mission parameters. Of course, that didn't mean that the girls couldn't go and fight him themselves. The more October thought about it, the more she was certain they needed two simultaneous plans - one group go and dig up his bones for insurance, the others trap the demon and force him to comply.

"As for the fire...I think it's perfect," October grinned. "We construct a Devil's trap under the rug - your art skills are wonderful and you should have no trouble with it - and we threaten him. Get as much information on the 0-8-4 as we can...And then, send it to your sister and find a new school to haunt." She looked at her friend for approval.

"Alright, you go ahead and contact SHIELD with the things that my sister gave us last night, and i'll head back to my room grab some of my art supplies." Carolina said, smiling towards her liking the idea as she took out her phone and started to do a quick google search on what a Devil's Trap was. Seeing what it looks like and getting a better picture she started to turn and head out of Faust's office, and made a run straight to their room, sifting through her bag until she found a small paint set in her backpack and a few markers and ran back out of their room, and back into the office.

Carolina then started to search around, where would be a good spot to start making it, and looked up directly at the ceiling no one really looked up there anyway Carolina climbed herself up on Faust's desk. She found a small cup of water and quickly started to get the paint brush wet, while using the marker and her phone to make the outline. Once she made the outline Carolina started to pain in the detail, with red it didn't take to long until she was satisfied with the look of it. Wiping off some paint off of her face and stepped back down looking towards her friend. "Should we go get him or something?" Carolina asked October.

Thanks to October and Carolina's efforts, S.H.I.E.L.D. managed to identify the 0-8-4 (although the two girls themselves never learned exactly what its function was). Faust's plan was revealed too - he was attempting to use mortal children as pawns to advance the apocalypse. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents shut the school down, with most of them relocated to Emma Frost's academy in Massachusetts, where the headmistress graciously sponsored their tuition. For their bravery, October and Carolina were given a crisp high five from Phil Coulson.

Unfortunately, Mephistopheles managed to escape from S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. The apocalypse in Altsoba was barely prevented in time and it would not be until Coventry, after October herself gave her life, that the demon would be spared. Yet amongst this grim ending, there was one moment perhaps worth mentioning. Shortly after the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents came to collect Faust/Mephistopheles, October whispered to Carolina her feelings.

She kissed her friend, her lips tasting like fire, and knew that no matter what, she was excited for the road that lay ahead.
