Bio

Hiya, AChronum here! Although I'm relatively new to rping, I have plenty of writing experience and love trying new genres and styles. I absolutely love high magic fantasy RPs and am pretty much willing to do anything so long as I can create a charaxter, not play an existing one, and develop lots and lots of backstory! I'm perfectly comfortable with all mature themes as well, although smut for smut's sake is out of the question.

Interested in an RP? Send me a PM and have a magically marvelous day!

Danni preened at Agatha’s comment. Obviously, he was Agatha’s favorite’s gay. He conveniently ignored the disaster part because that was clearly an exaggeration. “Omg! You ‘ere t’at AmĂ©lie? You can meet your maman, too! Look at t’is family reunion.” Danni booped his dragon on the nose, conjuring a little puff of fire for her to bite at. “Of course we miss you, Aggie! Who could ever replace you? But actually, it’s been a wild ride since ya left. Gosh, ‘ow long ’as it
 Oh! I know where ta start!”

“So, ya obvi were at t’e festival but ya know, it got real wonky after I left ya tent. So, before t’at, Spicy actually ran inta Dee and ‘it t’e ground. I tried ta do t’e eye t’hin’y ‘cause ‘e clearly might ‘ave maybe ‘ad a construction and I - and I’m not sayin’ t’at I did t’is but rumor ‘as it, ya know? - supposedly messed up and caught ‘is jacket on fire. But like, who wears velvet in summer? T’at stuff is ‘otter t’an me and not in t’e good way. Like 10/10 t’at ‘e stopped wearing it since really, but yeesh was t’at a choice. Anyways, Pa made a new jacket for me lickity split and t’en I graciously gave it ta Dee so t’at ‘e could be t’e knight in shinin’ armor since ‘e was ‘ead over ‘eels at first sight. Jeez, like ‘opelessly ta be ‘onest. Kinda gross.” Danni rolled his eyes at the memories. “Of course, Spicy ‘ated me for t’at. Andy kinda ‘ated em too ‘cause apparently I made t’em feel like I was mockin’ t’eir clothes but I was just given’ some fashion advice. And t’en we found Zeld’s who was freakin’ out and conjured a bee storm so I tried ta set it on fire, but instead I kinda lost t’at whole fireball and burned all my clothes and some light burns ta people. But I did make a wicked cool fireball earlier t’at day!”

“And t’en we ‘ad our presentations, which was so fun! I made a whole routine! It was a whole dance routine, ‘cause ya don’t wanna be basic AF and borin’ when t’ere are already so many ot’er people goin’ and doin’ just t’e normal wham, blam, t’ank you ma’am routine, ya feel? Gotta keep it fun and fresh! So lots of flamin’ pillars, lots of spins and whirls, I even gave myself some pretty wings right at t’e end!” Danni spread his arms, barely giving Amelie time to scamper up with plenty of disapproving chatter. “Sorry, Amelie. I forgot I was ‘oldin’ ya darlin’! But t’en I kinda, sorta, maaaaaaybe set fire ta t’e Judge’s table and t’en exploded it instead of one of t’e targets and so I kinda t’ink Poisson-Pas was tryin’ ta kill me wit’ all t’e bombs and survival trainin’ wit’ revenge but I got t’e last laugh ‘cause I’m alive and ‘e’s not! Oh, you weren’t t’ere, but Poisson-Pas ‘ad a ‘eart attack or somet’in’, but we’re doin’ a seance ‘cause a lotta people are all spooked even t’oug’ just ‘cause you’re dead doesn’t mean dead, ya know? Even if t’ey don’t come back, they’re still around. Ya just gotta learn ‘ow ta dial t’e spook phone! But t’en, we were all super excited for t’e team announcement, and you’ll never guess t’e bullshit t’ese people t’ought ta pull!” Danni paused for a moment to give Agitha a moment to guess but waved his hands and kept going, impatient.

“T’ey broke us up! Princess and Dee and I wanted ta be on t’e same team - we said it a lot and loudly and I know t’ey ‘eard us ‘cause I’m loud - and t’ey broke us up! Like, ta disrespect, right? So t’at was a whole t’in’ ‘cause like Zelds was on our team but didn’t want ta be ‘ere so t’at was a whole t’in’. I tried ta cheer ‘er up and just, like any sane person, asked for no bees, flamin’ or ot’erwise. Spicy want ta murder us and Beanie was just tryin’ ta figure out ‘ow ta get everyone on board. Dee eventually gave inta t’at and like, t’ey co-captianed? Idk if t’at’s ‘ow it boiled out but I decided t’at in my brain. So t’at, Poisson-Pas split us up and made us challenge each ot’er in t’is wicked race and we ‘ad ta cross a canoe or somet’in’ and t’en figure out t’e door t’at a bomb was behind, which we t’ought was fake t’at wasn’t fake cause it went fuckin’ off, but it’s fine ‘cause fire, ya know? And Dee went in Spicy for t’e first time and made ‘im use ‘is powers so Beanie and Spicy went back ta t’e beginning, but I t’ink
 No, no we won ‘cause we survived t’e bomb. I t’ink Spicy and Beanie died.” Danni pondered for a second and then shrugged, Amelie flapping her wings along with the motion as she peered around the room for something more interesting. “‘onestly, Idr ‘cause ‘e put us t’rough so much deat’ stuff t’at it all kinda blurs toget’er. And ‘is rewards were never fun. T’ey were always just more ‘omework and survival tactics and trap doors t’at ‘e said weren’t trap doors and ‘onestly, I feel for it way too many times. But what if, just once, ‘e actually got t’e winner T’e Supreme Collection of Madame Margret’s skin care? I can’t pass t’at up!” Amelie agreed loudly.

“Aaaaanyways, t’en we ‘ad t’e qualifyin’ round, right? Even t’oiugh we passed t’e auditions, ‘ad our ‘earts and dreams crushed ‘cause our teachers live on t’em, we ‘ad ta again fight for our right ta do t’is. Which, so rude. ‘Owever, Zelds made us t’ese bomb fits so we rock t’em and t’at’s definately what got us t’e win. The ot’er team, even t’ough t’ey ‘ad people who like, et light - It was weird and I didn’t like ‘ow my fire was useless against t’at - never really challenged us ta be ‘onest? Like, t’ey ‘ad t’is siren lady who was a tough cookie but after everyone broke free, she kinda folded. So I fell back ‘cause I t’ought people were gnna rush t’e point, right? Well, t’ey didn’t. I wrapped me and t’e point in a pretty wall of fire, absolutely majesty if ya know what I mean, and t’en
 not’in’. Like, Beanie and Spicy and Dee and everyone just kinda wailed down on t’em and I didn’t get ta do nothin’. Like, just vibe t’ere. So kinda borin’ but we won. So it was a great t’in’ ta brin’ ta ‘omecomin’, which t’e trio won.” Danni sighed. “But like, not us even t’ough I t’ink it should be. No, it was Princess and Beanie and Leah when t’ey were still ‘ead over ‘eels about. We did a whole t’in’, ya know? Actually, lemme
” Danni patted his pockets once, twice and then went cross eyed trying to glare at Amelie, who tilted her head as she tried to stare back. “Amelie, did ya eat my phone again? ‘Ow many times ‘ave I
 Oh. Nope, Pops ‘as it ‘cause ‘e’s a butt. So I can’t show you, but it was epic. We all did She-Ra cosplays, t’en I got photos of all of us in t’e ‘allway wit’ pretty little fires everywhere ‘round ‘te couples. And t’en I realized I was t’e only one not datin’ someone but yeesh, t’ere’s a lotta drama t’ere so I felt super left out at t’e time but lookin’ back, I t’ink I kinda dodged a ‘otshot? ‘Cause, yeesh t’e drama but anyways, t’e girlies win ‘omecomin’ royalty and t’en we were all bickerin’ ‘bout w’at ta do first and we all split up ‘cause I wanted ta dance but people kept sayin’ t’at it was lame so I was gunna just go dance by myself ‘cause I’m ‘ot enough ta ‘andle myself, but t’e relationship girlies just wanted ta go off on t’eir own little bubbles. So t’e girlies went ta t’e ‘aunted ‘ouse
 actually, lotta people went ta t’e ‘aunted ‘ouse and I tried ta warn t’em it was a bad idea. Who wants ta go ta a ‘aunted ‘ouse in a school t’at ‘as instructor wit’ superpowers and magic? Like, it was obvi gunna be a whole nightmare t’in’ so I noped out and sure enough, I was right, like I always am. It’s a whole t’in. People are comin’ out beat up, one kid came out wit’out an eye, anot’er one ‘ad a whole arm torn off. It was awful. Supposedly, ya ‘ad ta kill yourself or be killed in t’ere and man, I t’ink t’e school is gunna run outta t’erapy money at t’is rate if t’ey keep messin’ wit’ t’eir students. But Princess comes out, water is spoutin’ outta every’in’, Beanie and Leah are all I gotta defend my girl, lemme at ‘im, lemme at ‘im so Dee and I gotta calm ‘er down, ‘ave spicy pop ‘er outta t’ere ta t’e dorms, and ‘ave us run behind t’em. I really don’t know what ‘appened after t’at but it took fooooooooooorever for the place ta be fine again. T’ough, some people who got really spooked still won’t go anywhere near t’at place ‘cause t’ey swear t’ey still see t’emselves in t’e reflections. It’s wild.”

Danni shook his head and waved it off. It wasn’t a fun thing to think about so Danni just
 wasn’t! “So t’en, we really wanna win t’is contest right? So our friend ‘Cadie comes in and tells us all ‘e got a cool plan. ‘E’s ‘acked t’e framework like t’e smartie ‘e is and we all sneak inta t’e trainin’ rooms ta suit up and practice t’e night before break, right? We’re feelin’ pretty cool ‘cause like, ‘ow many ot’ers were able to sneak past t’e campus guards, avoid t’e little security traps t’e adults put up, and break inta t’e framework ta get some extra trainin’ in? ‘cause is it really fair t’at t’e Young Avenger’s get all t’is extra practice time and we are stuck in classes all day? Correct answer is: No. So, we take fate inta our own ‘ands and make some extra time ourselves. And more ‘cause we ran into a real life villain!” Danni laughed, scooping Amelie back into his arms as he bounced. “Turns out, ‘Cadie chose us ta kill for ‘is villian debut! Which like, so cool ta be first pick for a bludgeoning villain, you know? So we get uploaded inta t’e game, all split up, reveals ‘is true identity: Ed! Wait, no. Ed was t'e fake name, ‘Cadie was t'e real one. Well, no “Arcade” but bot’ t'ose names are lame so he's ‘Cadie. Isn't t'at so much cuter, Amelie?” Danni paused to give the dragon some attention, cooing at her as she bit at the little puffs of fire he gave out. He flicked his fingers, giggling as she scampered across his shoulders to chase one.

“So, I get turned inta t'is ‘ot AF dragon and I still got all my fire powers and Leah turned inta a big, stronk person and t'en Spicy was a
 goblin? Yeah, def a goblin. T'ere like gremlins right so makes sense! And Diana was somet'in’... probably a goblin tbh. She was always a little wonky, especially since she refused flaming arrows. Flaming arrows! Who in t'eir left minds turn down flamin’ arrows, am I right? So t’en we find a t’in’ t’at I t’ink is Zari, idk I don’t know. But t’en everyt’in’ ‘arts, like real bad Aggie. Like, we didn’t t’ink we were makin’ ot, but we popped out just fine and ‘Cadie panicked and Beanie and Dee said some stron’ stuff ta ‘im and suddenly ‘e realized ‘e was doin’ bad stuff so t’e Avengers showed up, ignored us when we didn’t want ta talk to t’e ‘rents, and bundled ‘I'm all up ta prison! Sups easy ya be ‘onest. Except t’e groundin’. And t’e nightmares. And t’e burnin’ random stuff down got waaaaay worse. Like, ‘ouse sized worse, ya know? So t'e gave us all A's for t'e semester and gave us therapy and Mavie is such a sweetie. Super chill, t'ough I still t'ink ‘er idea of relaxin’ is waaaaaaay too basic but t'at's just me. Oh and ‘apparently, we did all actually die but t'at time doesn't
 No, hasn't
 No, won't? Idk tbh but we're still alive so who cares? Stil stand by t'at, btw, but lotta people got spooked and angy ‘bout it so it was a whole lotta arguing and I just wanted ta ‘ave a good time so I tried ta just talk about y'e contest, but apparently callin’ dibs on teams is a bad t'in’ ta do ‘cause I got pulled aside and told it was a bad t'in’ and ‘onestly, Princess, Dee, and I are all on t'e same team soooooo I got what I wanted, t'ank you very much!”

“Oooh, and t'e juicy stuff! So t'e ‘omecomin’ royalty is broken up. Princess axed t'at whole t'in’ from t'e asylum ‘cause she was feelin’ a little self murderous and needed a little grippy sock vacation. Idk ‘ow Beanie and Leah are ‘oldin’ up t'ough. Gotta check in on Beanie too, t'ough idk if ‘er or Leah wanna see me you know? Beanie was real spicy wit’ me before, but I t'ink we're good, but t'en t'ere's t'e whole ex drama but we can still be friends, right? Like
 Hm, maybe I gotta ask Princess. But Leah's probs glad ta ‘ave me outta their ‘air, t'ough t'at stuff is dangerous so I wasn't t'ere in t'e first place, and she might just punch me
 Eh, still wort’ sayin’ ‘I right? I'll just get ready ta fly!” Danni giggled as Amelie jumped, chomped down on the fire, and burped out a puff of smoke. “And t'en t'ere is Dee and Spicy. still not sure ‘ow I feel ‘bout t'at ‘cause like, we kinda did everyt’in’ taget'er and t'en now Dee's bumpin’ uglies wit’ a freshie, well Spicy ya know, and it's not like Spicy is terrible but def not my jam. I don't t'ink Spicy could ‘andle me 24/10, ya know? But like, kinda makes me sad again ‘cause ‘e's leavin’ me out! And! ‘e just prings it on me! Sends me a text like FYI, I'm rollin’ ‘round t'e ‘ay wit’ my frieshie so like be cool. ‘ow am I, t'e resident volcano, meant ta stay cool after t'at?! Just bein’ dropped t'is little nugget, ‘ow could ‘e not expect me ta explode? So ‘course, I go off, catch t'e dorm on fire again, but remember Dee's ta blame, and t'en boop! My most precious wittle baby is born! I was kinda annoyed ‘cause not everyone came.over ta celebrate. T’at’s why I'm ‘ssumin’ Beanie doesn’t really wanna talk, ‘cause who wouldn’t come over ta ‘hangout wit’ a dragon?! Spicy’s on the lame list too for t’at ‘cause ‘e t’ought I didn’t notice ‘im pull away from t’e group when ‘e coulda said ‘I ta my baby. Still waitin’ on t’at apology, hm, from bot’ of t’em.” Danni asked irritably at the memory, but it was gone as soon as it came.

“But t’en, we invited everyone over ta our ‘ouse ta ‘ang for t’e contest! Super cool, right? But Princes couldn’t come ‘cause t’e sperm donor ‘ates Pa. We’ve tried for yeaaaaaaars ta ‘ave a ‘angout but nooooooooo. Still, ‘apparently Andy knows Old Man Erik, who wasn’t a meanie ta ‘er which great!, and Vicky’s room is borin’? Dee and Spicy took way too long in t’ere room and so Pa just decided ta pull t’e portal out from under us and pop us ‘ere! So poof, ‘ere we are!” Danni did a little flourish, beaming at her and the students behind her.

“WoOoOoOoOoOoOoW! Someone’s got too much contest on t’e brain ta stay wit’ us apparently. Disrespectful.” Danni laughed as Dorian shot his way to the examination room. He didn’t expect anything less. Honestly, Dee had been the most intense about it out of the three of them so Danni had already prepared himself for the tunnel vision he’d get. Dee got the same way during video game competitions and all that nonsense. Danni gasped at April’s idea, very excited but as he watched the door shut firmly behind each person.

“I don’t t’ink t’at’s an option, Princess. And I kinda don’t wanna try, ya know? Like, we got t’is far and we get ta do it toget’er, so I don’t wanna get disqualified ‘cause we did somet’in’ we didn’t know about.” Danni explained, leaning forward so AmĂ©lie leaned forward to sniff at April and then abruptly shot back as he realized what she was going for - her hair! “AmĂ©lie, no no. We don’t chew ‘air, silly dragon.” Danni chided half-heartedly, giggling at the displeased puff of smoke. He gave April a kiss on the cheek and untangled them.

“OKay, okay, okay. We do t’is quick and t’en after, we can
” Danni trailed off as he watched Mads interacting with the one and only Aggie! He started vibrating and quickly clapped his hands over his mouth before he could scream. “Princess, Princess, Princess! It’s Prof. Aggie! I ‘ave ta introduce ‘er ta ‘er granddaughter! Right, like it would be rude not ta, right? Omg, omg, omg. AmĂ©lie, you’re gunna meet Mamie Aggie! Aren’t you excited?!” He whispered between his hands, afraid he’d scare her off if he made it too obvious he was going for her. He decided to interpret the demanding chittering from above him as a yes. He grabbed April by the shoulders, stared her in the eyes seriously, and reached up to block AmĂ©lie as she leaned towards April’s hair. “Super top mission. Get in, get out, tackle Aggie. Got it? One, two, three - break!” Danni tucked AmĂ©lie in his arms and scrambled towards a door, certainly not putting a little fire beneath his heels to get there that much faster. He ducked under the arm of someone he didn’t know, turned on the threshold, stuck his tongue out at them, and slammed the door, all while AmĂ©lie huffed and wiggle in excitement at the sudden burst of speed. AmĂ©lie would be all worked up when she met Mamie Aggie but how didn’t love a playful dragon?

“Okay, docs, I’m all yours! ‘It me wit’ every’in’ ya got!” Danni beamed as he hopped up on the obvious seat. AmĂ©lie tumbled out of his arms, bouncing off his lap but immediately protesting as she stepped on the crunchy and scampered back into his lap. She then tapped the paper on the seat aggressively, flinching and growing at offending material, and Danni cooed at her soothingly. He looked up at the sound of someone clearing their throat, and offered a megawatt smile in apology.

“Don’t worry, my whittle baby isn’t participating. Pa didn’t t’ink about what people were ‘oldin’ again when ‘e portaled us. Really, ya should just be glad its just a dragon. Someone, not naming any names Dee, coulda been doin’ adult cuddles since t’at’s a t’in’ t’ey do now. Don’t you t’ink t’at’s kinda rude? Like, who just casually tells t’eir best friends “‘ey, we play ‘ide t’e cucumber under t’e sheets now, btws?” Like, I feel like I shoulda been wined and dined before t’ey dropped a tactical nuke in my lap. And everyone knows I ‘ave bad control! Why would you surprise me, t’e walkin’ fire bomb?! I can’t even remember t’e number of socks I’ve lost ‘cause Dee decided ta prank me and I got so spooked, I burned t’em right off my feet! Actually, I lost a lotta stuff like t’at. But I have a fireproof baby now, isn’t she cute! Look at t’is spot she like rubbed under ‘er chin and -” Clearly not going to stop, the examiner went about their business and occasionally interjected with muttered commands.

“Okay, stop.” The examiner demanded. Danni paused in his explanation of how She-Ra was the perfect life example that everyone should live by. “I just need you to put your hand on this book and answer the questions. Succinctly. Please.”

“I don’t know what a plant ‘as ta do wit’ t’is but jeez, alright.” Danni rolled his eyes as this book was offered and he placed his hand on it. The other one was busy keeping AmĂ©lie from also putting her teeth in the box.

“What is your name?”

“‘ow am I supposed ta put a succulent in t’at? Like, my ‘rents named me Daniel but I prefer Danni, ya know? The I is important. I was just tellin’ myself t’at I gotta get it-”

“Who are you?”

Danni stared at the interruption. “I just told you. Danni. Maybe if you’d listen, you’d remember t’at.” Danni snarked back, more than a little annoyed that he’d asked the same question twice.

“Do you want to compete in the Contest of Champions?”

“OMFG YES! I’ve been dreaming of it since I stepped foot in t’e school and now we get ta do it toget’er wit’ Dee and Princess! T’ey split us up ‘cause t’ey knew we were too dangerous and we’d upset t’eir favorite team by crushin’ t’em but t’en-” Danni blinked as he found himself talking to the exam room door. He blinked, exchanging a look and a shrug with AmĂ©lie, and turned on his heel, took in a deep breath, and screamed -

“MAMIE AGGIE!” As he flew across the room, hurtling towards her.

“Whoop, looks like time’s up!” Danni giggled, letting out a loud whoop as he plummeted into the exam room. Amelie did not share his enthusiasm, screeching in protest as they fell and beating her little wings to stay balanced. Danni couldn’t help but coo at the distressed noises and helped her back into his arms as she grumbled irritably. “Nah, no warning. Pa’s a chaos gremlin, ya know? Where ya t’ink Dee gets it from?” Danni offered Mads, rocking Amelie gently. He caught the clipboard that materialized in front of him, trying (and failing) to keep Amelie from gnawing on the corner. Danni shrugged, assuming if they could magic up clipboards that they could magically repair them, and scanned over the paperwork. “T’ough, t’at’s so cool Andy! I love t’at for ya!”

Danni shifted Amelie to his lap and chewed on the end of the pen. Easy questions at least! Who doesn’t love a weird homework assignment with easy answers? Nothing easier than no work, but can’t use a murder attempt on everything. “Okay, name? Danni
 Ew, no legal name? Ugh, Daniel.” Danni gagged as he wrote it. “Gotta make Danni my legal name soon, tbh. I’m definitely not a Daniel.” He hummed, legs bouncing a little as Amelie grew bored with her chew toy and started swatting at the pen. He finished, signing his hero name with a flourish and looked over at Dee’s paper.

“‘Eyyy, why you ‘ave a different answer for school t’an me? We go ta t’e same
” Danni glanced between Dee’s paper and his own repeatedly and gasped, scribbling out Avenger’s Academy and replacing it with Margret Carter Institute on the form. “I really ‘ope t’is wasn’t like, a legal document ‘caaaaaause I might need anot’er one?” Danni questioned, looking around to see if any more random papers appeared for him to retry with. He shrugged when nothing appeared.



He wasn’t looking for long before he was jumping up at a familiar voice and crushing Amelie between them. “Princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Danni cheered, ignoring Amelie’s indignant squawk at the sudden movement and her demanding rush to climb on his shoulders in favor of wrapping his arms around April. Clearly whatever had happened had passed since she was in such an great mood, probably just upset that she wasn’t with her besties, and Danni was more than happy to be swept up in her energy. “I know! It’s so exciting! We’re gonna crush it! Even fate and a murder ‘ungry gamer ain’t stoppin’ us! Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, get over ‘ere!” Danni demanded, holding his arm out for Dee to join their hug.

“Oooookay! Everyone’s in and gettin’ settled and now I got a whittle dragon t’at needs some attention!” Danni cheered as the door shut and the others scrambled upstairs. He scooped up Amelie, giggling at her little screech before pressing a flurry of kisses on her head. Danni loved his little girl and although he had her for less than a semester, he would burn himself and everything else around him if anything was to happen to her. Amelie gave a happy little chirp as he smothered her, swinging her around and bouncing her, before pausing as Vicky came back downstairs. Amelie gently headbutt him in protest. “‘Eeeeeeeeey, ‘ow’s t’e room? Tell me all about it! I wanna know! Can we ‘an’ out in it, or is it like, real personal? I don’t really know ‘ow Pa made t’em cause we ‘aven’t ‘ad t’is many people over wit’out bein’ broken into, ya know? Are t’ey totally customized or like, super basic?” Danni asked as Amelie wriggled in his arms, huffed a cloud of smoke in protest, and climbed him, propping herself up in his shoulder and batting at his chest with her tail.

“Yes, yes. I’m sorry. You deserve all t’e attention.” Danni cooed, resuming bouncing her around. Danni perked up as the door knocker spoke, giggling at the silly thing. Danni couldn’t remember why Pa had dreamt it up, but it was so fun for Danni to mess with the old thing. It got so flustered and blustered so easily, how could he not?!

“Danni, can you answer the door? Andy still needs to get settled before we head over.” James called from the kitchen.

“Ooooookie dokie!” Danni sang, skipping over to the door and throwing it open. “ ‘eeeey, girlie! Welcome ta t’e ‘ouse! ‘Ope old man Erik wasn’t too grumpy today, ‘cause sometimes ‘e’s a little spicy. But quick, quick we’re gunna be late if ya wait too long! We got a portal opening in like
 idk, 30 seconds or somet’in’ ‘cause we can’t be late or we get disqualified! Plus you get a super personal room! Or a super bland one! Vicky ‘asn’t told me yet but I wanna know!”


James sighed. “No one is summoning anything right now. You all have a physical in twenty minutes and you need to find your rooms. Danni, Dorian please help your friends follow Percy inside. We,” James gestured to the parents, with an unamused look at Casper. “Will discuss if a seance is within school regulations. For now, you all have a competition to focus on and if you want to participate, I recommend getting your things in your rooms as quickly as possible and getting back down here so we can take you to the Academy. Remember that this is mandatory and failing to show promptly could result in disqualification.” He directed sternly.

Danni hesitated as April abruptly hung up. Did he mess up again? Did he forget to think about how April was feeling? But he was offering to help. Wouldn’t talking to Poisson-Pas help? He didn’t understand why she was so upset and she hadn’t explained anything, just asked some cryptic question and then suddenly had to go. That wasn’t fair! He wanted to- Danni made a noise of protest as James plucked his phone out of his hand.

“Pops, no I need t’at! I don’t know why Princess was mad!” Danni pleaded, giving his best pleading face. James held out for all of two seconds before sighing and offering it back.

“One text. You’ll see her in just a little bit so you can talk it out there” Danni was texting before James finished talking, tongue stuck out in concentration.



Max nodded to Firestar as he took a step back from the portal. ”You have my contact information if anything. Oh, and do let me know if they're allowed a seance? It won't be till later anyways but it may help the children with closure and grief.” He said before closing the portal to California and turning around to focus on the group still standing on the front lawn. ”Casper you heard James, this can wait until later in which
yes I can arrange some outfits for everyone at the time of the seance. Until such time happens however, everyone should listen to James. We're running short on time and I doubt you all want to be disqualified simply due to tardiness Dorian, help Mr. Novikov out, he seems to be having issues with his key.”

Dorian was hovering over Danni's shoulder making sure he saw what was being said back. April had hung up so quickly he didn't know what to think. ”Maybe she ‘ad to go because a teach said so? If t'ey knew before us chances are no ones checked in yet so
could be she ‘ad to? I don't t'ink you said anyt'in’ wrong.” Dorian said trying to cheer Danni up. He went to grab his own phone to message his friends not present to ask if they were OK, but found it missing before looking towards his dad.

”Its indoors, where you should be.” Max said with a nod towards the door.

”Fiiiine. I just wanted to see if everyone was ok
” Dorian sulked before running over towards Percy at the door alongside Vicky and Zari. ”Won't work for me as I ‘ave a room ‘ere buuuut. Everyone go ahead and shake the ‘and on t'e door. It'll give you a key like what Perce ‘ere ‘as. T'e trail of magic leads you to your room.” He explained as he held Percy's free hand and began to lead him indoors. ”Let's go.”

Danni frowned at his phone and James's hand before offering it up quietly. James softened and pulled Danni in for a hug. “It's normal for people to be upset, kiddo. Just have some patience.” James told Danni. “You can have it back once everyone is settled in.”

Danni hugged his Pops back and sniffled with the effort it took to keep from crying. He got that but
 He shook himself off, picked up AmĂ©lie, and twirled with a smile on his face. He could deal with that later. “Maaaads, Zariiiii come oooooon! We gotta see your rooms!” Danni shouted, excitement quickly bubbling up inside him on command. He let AmĂ©lie scamper up on his shoulder and grabbed both their hands before hauling them towards the house. “Stop bein’ slowpokes!”



From the sounds of it, Leah was with April right now. I mean, they were staying at the same hotel so it should be normal right? But it also felt a bit weird cuz they broke up. Dorian didn't really know all the rules of it or anything, but maybe Leah just wanted to comfort her too? He listened intently to what April had to say, a heart attack, old age, none of this seemed right. Dorian had seen him just the other day, they had tea together, he was perfectly fine. His head began to swim with thoughts as he tried to make sense of it all.

Danni frowned at how upset April sounded. Like sure, he was dead but that didn't mean he was gone. He still didn't really get why people thought death was a horrible thing. Like, sure they weren't here but it was like when a friend moves away - just call them. But Danni knew that wouldn't go over well if he said that out loud, so instead he'd just offer himself! He covered the phone for a second when Ben came over, giving him an apologetic shake of the head and a shrug.

“Oh Appa, apparently our coach just died? But hey, Princess. It's okay, it's okay! Just ‘cause someone died doesn't mean it's over, ya know? They're still around, just somewhere else. Kinda like when we ‘ave ta go ‘ome for summer! All we gotta do is call as much as we can.” Danni replied cheerily. “So, ya wanna chat wit’ ‘im? You got anyt'in’ you wanna say? I t'ink people always ask for like one more chance ta people when t'ey die. We can give everyone a little time wit’ Poisson-Pas. Gotta make sure ‘e doesn't ‘ave any more crazy stuff planned t'at ‘e won't be able ta deactivate! And t'en we can call ‘im back when we win for t'e celebration! T'at should ‘elp, right Dee?”

”I mean
we can certainly try but
I don't t'ink Nemo is dead. It's not ‘is time yet, t'at doesn't ‘appen for like
almost a year? So somet'in else is up i t'ink
eit'er t'at or ‘e's about to be resurrected. Eit'er way t'e first step is tryin' to summon ‘is ghost to ask.” Dorian said more matter of fact than usual, as if he was trying to solve a game puzzle right before him.

“See Princess! Not'in’ ta worry about! Dee knows it's not time for Poisson-Pas ta die, so don't sweat it. We just gotta find out what
” Danni paused, looked at Dorian, looked at the phone, and the gaped at Dorian. “Waaaaait one ‘eckin’ second?! What do you mean, it's not time for ‘im ta die?! ‘ow do ya know it's in a year?! Did ya get another power?! Why didn'tcha tell me?! Do you know ‘ow many tests were could ‘ave gotten t'e answers for?!” Danni watched Andy bolt across the lawn over to old man Erik's place. Weird but not as weird as his best friend not telling him he's a divination wizard now!

”It's not a new power! I
it's more
I didn't want to talk about it ok? I was stuck in t'e astral for a really long time and Nemo was nearby when it ‘appened. I t'ink bein’ too close was t'e issue I just, it was like I saw ‘is future or at least one year into t'e future. I saw ‘is grave and t’e marker was for next year. So
’e can't be dead. And t'ere's no test answers in t'e astral.” Dorian pouted. He'd hated what he saw, hated that there was even more there to tell but he didn't need to bring this on them before the contest.

“Deeeee, you should ‘ave told us! ‘ow are we supposed ta ‘ave a cuddle pile now l?! Ugh, we'll ‘ave ta wait but just you wait Mister. T'e second we can, it's a trio pile up on you.” Danni waggled his finger in Dorian's face before whirling to Casper. “Papa!!! Can we do a seance? We wanna see if Poisson-Pas is actually dead! Oh, everyone can be a part! Mads, Zari, Andy-no she's seeing Old Man Erik for some reason-Spicy, Vee, y'all wanna do one! It'll be so cooool! A real New Orleans welcome!”

James sighed as the conversation spiraled. He made a note to discuss with Max about this astral vision Dorian got and apparently had hidden even from Danni, but now wasn't the time. “Okay, kiddos. Let's head inside? We have some food if anyone's hungry but that way you can get your rooms, get settled, and we can talk about this without conjuring ghosts on the front lawn.” James addressed the group as a whole. “Everyone has their own room so you'll be plenty comfortable.”
