Mortem


After hearing Mesuka's kind offer to spar with him after her study session, Mortem could not be happier, as the flame inside of him turned slightly white, while Cerberus did not seem to be pleased. But oh well, traditions...

Grabbing the notebook from the luggage, Mortem followed the Haka-born out of the room, and to the library.

XXX

Arriving at the old usual library, Mortem found himself greeted by a familiar sight, whom he had been acquainted with for the last two years here: Yg'ntha

"W͝e͏ĺcom͏e b͏ac͟k͝ Mor̢tem̡. ̨Y̵oư ḩav̵e͢ ͜a ͟n͢ice̶ ̀vaca͟t̡ioǹ?"

Mortem wrote on the note

'Fine.'

"And ͠d͘i̶d ̛you̷ man̛age͏ ̕tơ ͢bl̨en͜d i̡n̸?"

'A bit. They were still afraid however.'

"Well, y̧o̸u'̢ll ̵f͟įnd̷ a̢ ͡pl͠a̛ce͜ s̷o͞o͝ǹ." She conversed more naturally, as Mortem was a very common guest. Then the skeleton went straight onto the subject

'I'm looking for a modern philosophy book.'

"O̵f̛ co͘u̴r̀s̨e,͏ I h͢a҉v͘e jus̶t͜ the͢ th͘in͡g for̕ you.͞ ͏It's ca̵lļe͜d Húmaņ C͞on҉di̧t͜i͡on.҉ Al̢t̶houg͞h ̸wŗitt͡en̵ ͝qui҉t̶ę ͝ne̴a͝ŕly t̀w͡o̴ hun͘d͘r͟e҉d͢ y̧èárs ag͟o̷ b͏ut͠ ҉it̷'̨s ̸a͞h҉e͟ád ̢of i̧ts̡ ͢time̷,̕ an̷d ͘y̸ou͞'ll̨ find̕ a͞ ̕l̛ot́ ́of̕ i̷n҉fó ͜abo͏ut҉ ̕w̷h̀at i͏t ̕m͢e̶a̛n̕s͜ ̛t͏o l҉iv̕e̸ ̵a͞ ̢húman̕ ̴li̵f̡e." She said as she brought the book to him

'Thank you.'

Mortem left the librarian with the note left on her table. Then he went dragging his armor to somewhere quiet. The skeletal swordsman was not very fond of doing such an activity, but when he finally came to it, he had to ensure he did so with maximum efficiency.

During the process of finding a perfect spot, he noticed that Ash had just left the library, and Mesuka was talking to a bandaged guy...and an owl. Well, this is a school for supernaturals after all. But Mortem could not help but be surprised and curious. If such creatures like that exists, then he might be able to inquire them about their species. Their traditions and cultures might help him with his studies and understandings about the world. And so instead of settling down somewhere, he decided to approach them.

Thanks a lot my friend...wow, there are a lot of crazy stuff i didn't know
@SepticGentleman, @GodOfWar, @RoccanIronclad
Umm, this is quite awkward but how do you write the font of Yg'ntha. I have read the raw version but it doesn't help me with how to write it.
Don't worry. Always patient, always waiting
Looks interesting. I'll be keeping an eye on this
If this still continues, I may join in the fun. Hopefully
Wow, I read through the Nomad's ability and my impression is that they are powerful as F (no offense, I like powerful adversaries). I mean, powerful units, great minds. How to defeat them is the thing I will have to speculate a lot when I get into this. Now this is fun.
Mortem


During the whole exchange, Mortem noticed something strange about the Haka-born. Her tone towards Ash was unusually hostile. That's not how people would react to strangers, Mortem knew it. It's common sense that existed for thousands of years, and he did not believe it has changed recently.

She has a bad history with him? But they did not appear to know each other. The skeleton pondered. Then what is it that made her tone so venomous?

Mortem continued to look at the two of them curiously as Mesuka devoured the tacos while glaring at Ash. After finishing her meal, she proceeded to addressed the room.

"With all my moving, I've had no time to study for first classes. I was wondering if... any of you would like to come to the library with me. At the very least, we could go sit in the school court-yard. I think it's a little more sunny outside than when I first arrived."

To the library? Mortem had already made his plan to visit the dojo and practice sword fighting. But before he could actually write it down on his note, Cerberus, the hound who was wagging his tail repeatedly next to the skeletal figure, intercepted.

"I know what you're trying to do. Come on, you're here to study, not sword fighting. Swordsmen and fencers are outdated vocations. People only take it for sporting purposes, that's it!"

Mortem turned to write the note for Cerberus.

'But that's makes me...me. I died with it'

"Yeah, I appreciate that, but you should spend more time interacting with others as well. Connection, that's how modern day society works. Got it?"

Is it?

Mortem is a tough nut to crack when it comes to ideals, since everything was set pretty solidly when he died. But Mortem knew he could not go against Cerberus in this circumstance. He knew how the world works more than him, despite Mortem having lived his undead life for over six hundred years.

He jerked his head down two times, nodding to Cerberus, while showing his unwilling acknowledgement of the new information. Then he handed the note paper to Mesuka.

'I'll come.' His note was blunt, to shorten the writing time.

And then he turned to Ash, who happened to be asking his and Mesuka's name, and handed a note also shortly written.

'Mortem.'
