Can Gratia use this time to go off and fetch Silvan's Beryl?

@Crimmy

Excellent plan. I had hoped that this might be the case actually.

I assume this is referring to Team Infernal as I don't believe we have any other all girls teams, but isn't Infernal one of the senior teams, would they be taking classes with the first years?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Abel Fulgurate

Slow and steady was the gameplan today. Tuning out those around him and attuning his focus wholly to the math, Abel worked through the assignment with a stalwart precision, not as fast or as effective as others perhaps, but acceptable nonetheless. Whenever he hit a snag, he made sure to avoid becoming impatient, and would try a problem over from the beginning rather than trying to make work something he may have very well messed up. It was serving him decently well as the hour dragged on, but toward the latter half of instruction, his mental shield was breached by the sound of music, low now but increasing in volume by the minute. Abel cast an irritated glance around the room, frowning at the students in the area from where the music seemed to be emanating. He did not, however, spot a scroll, mPod, or any other device capable of playing such a tune. It was several more minutes, in fact, when the music had risen enough to almost completely demolish any semblance of productivity, that Abel realized that the music came not from within, but without.

”Come, come, come to me
I'm hanging by a single thread
Come to me and save my life
I can't love you when I'm dead

Not the least annoyed among the individuals in the class was Professor Fullbuster. After tweaking his mustache in consternation, he said to the class, “How strange. None of the other classes could be responsible for this. Someone must be outside the building.” He pressed a few buttons on his watch. By now, the beat of the projected song was beginning to shake the building itself. After his watch had been set to 'weapon' mode, Algernon Fullbuster made haste out of the class, leaving the door open. With nothing being said about staying put, a few of the more inquisitive students in the class abandoned their arithmetic to see what the fuss was about. At the forefront of this movement was an all-girl team, led by a speedy girl in red, and their curious eagerness broke the ice for some of the others to join the crowd heading out, Abel among them. Smoothing down his superb blue jacket, Abel hurried along, trying to resist the urge to put his hands over his ears. The source of the sound was leading the people toward the school's rear entrance, and as they grew nearer, it grew louder, enough to rattle the stately glass windows of Beacon.

Nytem4re's character is fine by me.

<Snipped quote by Lucius Cypher>

-gets pulled in by Lucius-
Heyo, Luci recommended me to join this RP, as I'm one of the aforementioned "Old Fucks", though have only returned to this site as of recent. I think Luci listed covered all of the questions I would have, since we have another friend who would gladly fill in a spot. I'm gonna finish reading up on everything.

@Jedly

Superb. Open spot on team R.

I will update the characters tab to reflect recent additions and dropouts.

Hey Raijin, let's do a piratepad collab to do Argus's fight.

I always knew that Gildarts had it in him to become headmaster.

We're going to be moving on before too much longer. Something is going to happen.

Heisty Beardo – Frenzy Camp

@Raijinslayer

Beardo watched Argus passively and quietly, a smile playing about his lips. After the demon had said his piece, Beardo grunted in agreement, and held out his right hand, palm down. From it fell a six-inch dagger, gleaming Smith Magic steel, that dissolved into silvery dust upon hitting the ground. Evidently he'd been holding a secret weapon of his own, on the off-chance that Argus had been a foe as well. It was clear that while Beardo didn't speak the language, he didn't need a voice to exhibit his talent for sly cunning and stealthy, underhanded gambits. He winked at Argus and pointed toward the area that Zander had indicated earlier, which was now clear. This meant, obviously, that he wanted to go there. Beardo's next move was to reach out his own hand to shake that of Argus and seal the deal of the two as opponents.

Fleo Plector – Phoenix Wing Stands

@hatakekuro[@lmpkio@zarkuncenter]

Though Fleo offered a courteous chirp of a laugh to Enma's remark, she did not feel much more at ease. No matter how well she got to know the oni, she grudgingly expected, she'd never get over the sense of weakness that rose from his presence. To be this close to a being of destruction brought tinges of a primal fear inside her, and probably everyone else. It did not do the vast majority of minds good to be constantly exposed to a brimming presence that could crush them in an instant. As such, as Fleo looked at Enma, she was sorry to think that they would never be friends.

A familiar but unexpected voice from behind the group caused Fleo to jump. When she turned around and spotted Nolan, she reactively began to smile, grasping into the depths of her mind for a loveable new joke or tease. The expression on his face, however, combined with the weight of his words, stopped her cold. Suddenly confused and intimidated yet again, she stammered, ”Uh um, I just meant that...you'd probably have friends as fierce and serious as you...? You, uh, I mean, yikes dude, you look awful and terrifying at the same time. Eh...Nolan? You're scaring your friend.” Her eyes darted to James momentarily. As much as Fleo liked introductions, now seemed like a singularly bad time to suggest them. Did this man have poor social skills? Fleo smiled nervously. Marlene might have had the right idea, just walking away. But these people were her friends and she couldn't just leave them without checking up, right?

Nero the Genie – Crocus Street

It had taken a few moments for the sound to reach him: the sound of a distraught soul. When Nero became aware of the sound of Ayame's tears running down her face, a grieving outpouring of her compassion, and of those quiet but heart-wrenching cries, he deviated from his planned path and rushed to Ayame's side. In a whisper, ”No no no, don't cry, especially not for me.” He couldn't stand crying. When it was from a normal person, it was a sign of inner weakness. When it was someone he could be lucky enough to call a friend, it was a sign that he'd failed them. Moving quickly, he tried to wipe away the rest of the blood, even going as far to take off his stained gloves as stuff them into his pockets, as if looking alright could make everything alright. ”I'm fine. I like pain, seriously, feels good. Don't get worked up over this, bad stuff happens.”

Then Nero watched, spellbound, as the very soil began to respond to her despair. Even as she attacked Michael with the full force of the earthen hand in an unfortunate and badly judged move that would likely only escalate the situation, he couldn't help but smile. A trace of darkness now wreathed the image of the sweet little girl in his mind. She's a magician after all. Her power comes alive without her bidding when she is touched by strong feelings. Good person, bad powers, and interesting psyche. Why, she's a dark mage, just like Eve and I. He reached down, and with a pale finger no longer covered by glove, gently attempted to wipe away a tear. It was a risky move, he knew; most people wouldn't take kindly to such a personal invasion of space. But now Nero knew why his spirit was tied to Ayame's.

Michael, however, was not done. After miraculously and literally inexplicably escaping Ayame's attack, the form of an angel appeared next to him, and Nero got a bad feeling. Though not demons, genies were not on the same scale of morality as those celestial emissaries. Michael's assertions allowed him to focus elsewhere, however. What was this about having no doubt? Only a moment ago he'd declared that Gabriel deserved nothing. ”You're the nimrod here, buddy. I never even talked about the difference. I can't...you know what, I am so incredibly done with you. Being jerkwads I could deal with, but you went and made Aya cry. You're the real villains, you know.”

The next instant, a heavenly visage shimmered in front of Nero. Panicking, he attempted to reactivate the touch-activated curse he'd used to defend himself earlier, but his concept of speed paled in comparison to a being of light's. ”What!? No! His hand shot to his face as he stumbled backward. The deep gouged had healed; only light scars remained. How can I prove that they're the bad guys now? I can't get enraged and take drastic measures unless I'm the victim! ”I didn't wish for that! I don't need anyone's pity! Come on, we're outta here!” It was now, beyond the shadow of a doubt, past time to leave. This time, though, he waited for Eve and Ayame to start moving with him before taking off himself.

Cecilia Lenin - Frenzy Camp

@Raijinslayer

In reply to the inquiry, Zander indicated with a point of his finger the area now occupied by Salvoy and the inquisitive Frenzy Plant soldiers gathered. ”In a few minutes, I expect that our guests from Tough Love will return to their guild. Once that's done, there will be a space there decently far from any of our buildings. Do try and control your magic, however. Collateral or property damage is something Frenzy Plant does not tolerate. Brawlers, those without self-control, and fools lay waste to their surroundings. Soldiers strike with expertise and precision.” He stepped away to regather those who'd been training and begin once more. Their first instruction was to remove their armor and put aside their weapons; now, they'd be bolstering up their skill in the martial arts that went hand in hand with armed combat.

-=-=-

At the sound of footfalls, Cecilia looked up from her repairs. Sweat had begun to bead on her brow, and the pieces of armor layer scattered about on a makeshift table. A sheet of tanned leather lay on top of it, and in the short time that the young knight had been out of the demon's sight, she'd already begun carefully incising new strips from the big piece. ”Oh, hi. Um...a fight? Repairs going okay so far, but it's gonna be a long time. I guess I could fight you without it though. I could grab a shield, and I still have my helmet and graves.

With nary a sound, not even from his breath, a large, bearded and fur-wearing man shifted into view mere inches behind Argus Leandros.

Nero the Genie – Crocus Street

So intent on trying not to see panicked was Nero that he nearly allowed Michael to bowl him over. Instead of anger, however, a spark of fear arose in the genie as he flinched backward, though he was quick to cover it up with a casual smile despite the state of his features. It caused Nero no small amount of uneasiness to think about how much he must look like a homicidal maniac to any bystander, with this amount of blood on his face.

When Michael started talking, however, that insecure smile became mocking. Nero just wanted this whole ordeal behind him, so he could forget about it and try to convince his friends that he wasn't a threat to them. Now he found himself faced with an angry twin and yet another problem.

”Didn't deserve!? the dark mage questioned, laughing in Michael's face. He brushed a hand across his own, staining the white glove again with his blood, and flicked a few droplets onto Michael's clothes. ”Can't you see what he did to me!? Can you?! My face is totally screwed. I'm startin' to get lightheaded from blood loss. How am I gonna afford a hospital bill? He did this to me, and I acted in self-defense. You think I'm supposed to try and hit him back with these noodle arms? If some meathead slugs a little wizard kid, is that kid supposed to try and get even with just his small hands? This guy is a menace. I'm leaving him exactly the way he is for twenty minutes. If I were to let him go now, he'd turn around and beat the livin' daylights out of me. And then I'd be dead—though maybe that's better than livin' in a world with people like you two in it.” Though he grinned widely at Michael, his black eyes burned with hate. ”Why don't you just leave me alone? Nero turned ninety degrees to his left and started walking.
