Alex smiled at her when she visibly calmed down. Well it wasn't calming down, per se, but at least she wasn't struggling to stand up while she was still so disoriented. The girl then pulled up her legs and sat down on the bed - cross legged and facing the girl. The mere fact that she seemed so composed despite the fact that she was stuttering was... oddly funny to Alex. It just seemed so contradictory and yet here was this girl, doing that same thing. "Alex." She added when she trailled off. "Just Alex alright?" She wasn't big on formalities after all, and someone calling her miss just puts her off.

When she saw the blue haired girl take out her phone to look at her messages, Alex assumed that her parents would pick her up. But the sigh said it all. It wasn't a sigh of defeat where you know you're going to get grounded. No, that was a sigh of sadness. One she often did when her parents couldn't come to something important thanks to their jobs. Alex had wanted to say something to the girl but wasn't sure what to say. I feel you? Yeah, as if that would make the mood better.

Before she could actually think of something to say, a nurse had entered with someone else. Alex bowed her head slightly as a form of acknowledgement and mouthed a greeting. So she was correct to assume that she was the Fraizer kid - the same one who bumped into her earlier. What were the odds right? Though, that solid connection now formed another question.

What the hell was she doing at Luna's Lunar Lounge during school time?

Alex's attention was brought back when the nurse helped Bella stand up, claiming that her maid was here to check her out. Oh, so she did have a guardian. And as expected, Alex couldn't be let out since none of her guardians could actually come to pick her up. She wanted to say that this was a surprise, but it wasn't something that has happened only now. "I know." She said, giving her a forced smile.

That was when Bella decided that she wanted to help Alex by helping her get out of there. Surprisingly, the nurse agreed that it would be fine as long as she got confirmation from her parents. "Wait a second." She then took out her phone and then called her mother. Three rings later, the woman picked up.

"I told you Alex, we're going to talk about this later. I'm picking you up once I'm off."

Alex almost flinched at the sudden response before putting it on loudspeaker. "A friend of is getting checked out too and her maid is here. Can I go with them? They just need your confirmation."

There was a pause as her mother mulled it over. "Alright. You can go. But make sure to go back-" Alex quickly turned off the loudspeaker and pressed the phone against her ear. "-home alright? No escaping this time young lady. I'm telling Daniella not to harbor you."

"Of course mom." Alex then put down the phone and then stood up. She looked perfectly fine though she wasn't willing to admit that her vision swayed the moment she stood up. Alex then proceeded towards the nurse and then smiled. "Thank you for taking care of me." She said before looking at Bella and her maid. She wasn't about to lead when they were the ones who bailed her out of the hospital.

Ishin Academy, April 7th

Interacting with: @Bornlucky

Rikuo had left for Ishin two days prior to the entrance ceremony for the sole reason that he would have been too tired to actually go through the first day if he were to attempt to get there the day before. Fujidera was too far and Rikuo knew this all too well. He was thankful that dorms were now a thing or else he would have worried about finding somewhere to stay. It just wouldn't work out if he were to commute back and forth. Hell, he didn't even know if he could visit weekly considering the time he'd spent on the move.

But, he'll burn that bridge when he got there. It wasn't like his parents were requiring him to visit too. He was rather sure that his parents now had a lot of free time on his hands now that they didn't have to worry about him messing up his room for the nth time per month. It was funny, really, how his parents managed to put up with him. However, they did remind him of how strict Ishin was and how he shouldn't mess around in the dorms - a sentiment he put at the back of his mind. He'd just do what he wanted to do and see where that gets him.

He spent one day in a small inn that allowed for him to collect his thoughts and put off some first-day nervousness. It wasn't his first time going to the other side of Japan, but it still was pretty nerve-wracking since he knew that neither of his parents were close enough to call when he needed something. Ah, but you know what? All this pent up nervousness wasn't going to help him. He managed to stave it off by drawing some characters on his notebook and then promptly falling asleep - letting his nervousness slip by as he slept through the night.

So, he was refreshed and ready to go when the next day rolled in and he headed straight for Ishin Academy. He remembered some of his friends questioning his choice of going to Ishin without trying out for the more famous UA. Honestly, for all the fame it has, Rikuo actually found the strict and disciplined Ishin to be a breath of fresh air. Even if a lot of people told him that he wasn't exactly the most disciplined of people, Rikuo still thought Ishin was perfect for him. Didn't stand out as much as the rival school but still pumped out excellent heroes. What more could he ask for?

He swiftly went through the courtyard, only bothering to look at it for a second and committing it to memory before heading over to the auditorium along with the other students who were filing in. Rikuo headed over to where the first years would be seated and noticed that there was already quite a number talking among themselves. Did they know each other? As he drew closer and heard that they were actually introducing themselves, they might actually just be friendly people who want to get to know their potential classmates.

Deciding that perhaps that would be the best course of action, he bounded up and waited for the last one to introduce themselves to finish before following up with his own. He bowed his head. "Watanamiya Rikuo, pleasure to meet y'all." He tried to sound as polite as possible. He didn't want his first impression to be rude and condescending. That would just be wrong, right? Best to make allies and friends in school so it'd be easier when you become a pro-hero right? Though in thinking this, he didn't even bother to hide his Osakan accent - and honestly, he didn't really care about it.

After that, however, he distanced himself from the group that were talking among themselves and sat down beside this cat-like person who seemed to be looking down. "Hey." He started, trying to gauge what kind of reply he would get before softly adding, "You alright?" The guy seemed to be crying. Did he hurt himself somehow? Or was there something else in play? Rikuo wasn't insensitive enough to loudly ask about it and he hoped the cat-guy didn't mind his interjection.

Well there you have it. Poor Tonya has to walk back to school alone.

Want us to pick you up?

@Tenma Tendo

Whoops forgot to reply to this. But yeah, them going back to school together would be for the best. The maid taking them sounds good to me.

Ahh, I wonder how the principal would react to this considering they all seem to be good students.

There was something about being in a comatose like state that put her in unease. It may be the fact that her mind was completely blank for the hours that she was asleep, or it may be because of the fact that she didn't know what had happened after she purified the akuma. There was no way of knowing while she was in this state. She wanted to wake up.

Her sleep was only for two hours, perhaps because of the lack of exhaustion, unlike in Bella's case. She groaned as she woke up, draping her arm over her eyes for a moment as the light blinded her. The area was silent - unnervingly so. She took a deep breath and put her arm back down and surveyed the area she was in.

It was a hospital room. She's spent some time in one to know what it looked like. This time, however, there was a surprising lack of anything hooked up to her or bandages. Of course not, she didn't break her arm or leg and landed in the hospital. She just passed out.

Passed out? For how long? Her heart rate began to pick up as she sat up, not bothered by her sight going black for a moment before reaching over to the desk where her phone lay. She felt herself choke when the time indicated that school wasn't over yet, but she had multiple missed calls from her mother, her father and Jesse. The school probably contacted them when she suddenly disappeared from school.

Though, she was rather sure that they already knew she was in the hospital. They should have been contacted by now... but they weren't here. They didn't come. Maybe they just got used to their daughter getting into accidents. She rubbed the back of her head before sitting down cross legged on the bed. Poyzz had peeked out of her jacket but kept silent because of the other people in the room.

She texted Jesse and her mom about her condition in the hospital. Jesse had replied immediately with a worries response and claimed she'll visit after school but Alex knew there was no need for that. Her mom, however, took her sweet time to reply. Most likely because of her work. Her mom just said they needed to talk later.

She put her phone down again and sighed. She felt like this won't be the last time she'd get hounded on by her parents. Part time superhero was sounding like a pain. That was when she started to hear shuffling from the other bed. It was the kid from earlier at school... the Frazier kid. What was she doing here? "Hey, hey you shouldn't get out of bed. The nurses will swing by to check us out before we can leave." She looked confused. Must be the effect of the gas. That was then only logical reason why she would be here after all. "Calm down, okay? You're not in any danger anymore. You're safe." She must have been scared thanks to the Baristriss.

The fact that Bella shouldn't be there didn't cross Alex's mind.

@Tenma Tendo

Oh, well someone will at least take her back to school right? Or else Alex will take responsibility and take her back

In any case, we can go back to regular posting, I think.

Double Duty (A Highschool DxD RP)

"Sounds like a plan to me." With their lack of members, there was also the lack of firepower. It was for the best that they play it safe. He was definitely not opposed to thinking smart. After all, his style of fighting relied heavily on stealth and strategy as opposed to the other members who can go to the front lines and blast everything to bits. He let out a yawn before heading over to get another cup of coffee. There was still some leftover from earlier. It was colder, but bearable. He downed the pot in one go in an attempt to keep the sleepiness at bay.

"Hm... we could lure it out too. Test the waters of its power. It won't exactly be showing off a lot if it's just idle." The Bishop said with a small shrug. Baradiel had been a master of pissing things off - a few well placed shots would send a Stray ballistic. If it truly was a rampaging devil, then it should be easy to let it demonstrate a fragment of its power and magic. Though, if it was still smarter, it would be a bit of a problem. "But let's save that idea for later." Once they tested out the waters of its ability to think, a more solid plan could be made. Besides, Alice wasn't stupid so he figured that it wouldn't be too bad to follow her orders. It is why he's here in the first place.

"In any case, shall we go? I'd like to meet this Stray already." Baradiel wasn't one to get angry or anything like that. The main reason was because he took it out on things or people who he could harm, like Strays. Though if they turned out to be rather weak, he was rather sure the combined might of Alfonse and Desmond would be enough. It'd be a shame.

"You're that roller blades girl. What the hell were you doing at Luna's Lunar Lounge?"

"You're that kid who was talking about the costume heroes. You're supposed to be at school!"

Or maybe they won't see each other because of the amount of people there. Though I do think that Alex and Bella would be in the same room since they're close to each other. That is, unless Bella's family pulled her out early.

Baristriss did not rouse from her unconscious state. She was relatively fine, no injuries. In fact, she looked like she was sleeping peacefully on the ground. At least the gas completely disappeared when she reverted back to her original form so it wasn't dangerous to enter the building anymore. However, no one was waking up. The gas's effects were still present in the ones who already inhaled it, so quick medical attention was recommended.

Luckily for Talon, he didn't need to check up on anyone as ambulances and police cars pulled up. EMTs started to swarm the area to check up on everyone and to get them to the hospital to be properly checked. The hospital in the city was sure to be filled considering Baristriss's many victims during her parade as a villain. Though, it as been proven that the gas was not lethal and was only meant to knock people out so the city could rest easily knowing that no one was harmed.

The police had entered as well and only spotted Talon amongst the sea of unconscious people. They start to question him about what had happened - suspicion however, was not placed on him. Everyone knew it was the Baristriss who did it as she was already seen by multiple witnesses.

Everyone who was unconscious was rushed to the hospital and their families were contacted.
