If somebody has Circe's fang marks on their penis, gossip will go round like crazy.

Damn. I'm sorry to hear that and I actually really enjoyed Mako and Lilac, even if it doesn't look like you did.

Duncan shrugged. "If I hadn't have seen that hoofprint, I might be with you. I won't pretend it's not annoying being allowed to do nothing to help, and to be shut away and hand-held like toddlers. But...I've got to be honest with you, I'm absolutely terrified.I don't want any of what that thing was. I just hope they start teaching us to be Dawnslayers soon, and the threat goes away so we can be treated like the future badasses we're going to become."

When they got to the dorms, there wasn't any question which bed was Duncan's. while the rest were bunks not dissimilar to what you're see in a youth hostel, at the edge of the room was a large mat on the floor, with an ordinary sheet in the middle of it. This was a centaur's bed. The horse half sleeps nude, but the human half still needs a sheet. He grabbed his luggage and went over to it, before starting to unpack.

Mako didn't respond to any of Lilac's musings, which may have been worrying, but she was clearly listening, and clearly interested. The teacher was thinking; 'The world would be a more peaceful place if more people were like this girl. More peaceful because there'd me more murders. 'Cause of death: naivety'. Those damn white witches and their 'balance' and 'natural law of the world'. As far as Mako was concerned, order wasn't balance. The 'natural law of the world' and the 'law of the natural world' were two very different sets of rules to describe the same fundamental things. Whilst one celebrated the circle of life and all things being in a harmonious cycle, helping the others to live, the other proclaimed that to live is to be the fittest, better at killing or running than others of your species. If a lion's chasing two rabbits, they survive by being faster than the other one. If two dogs are fighting over a female, the female will be mated by the one with the sharper fangs. Neither law was wrong. One was merely white, and the other was dark. One rosy, one cynical.

Mako smiled down at Lilac when the young faun thanked her, and asked if Mako could accompany her to the forest. Mako shook her head.

"I will able to escort you to the gardens, but not the forest. The murder took place in the forest, you know. As powerful I am, there are more powerful beings out there, and until we know what we're up against, we shall stick to the rules. The gardens, however, are close enough to the school to be safe, with an escort."

The group arrived at the dorms shortly after, and Mako approached Circe. Her usually perpetually closed eyes opened, revealing piercing, harsh gold eyes, sparkling with intelligence. "I'm glad to see you safe, miss. It's dangerous to travel without an escort. Please be careful in the future." Mako paused, before leaning closer and staring right into Circe's eyes with a stare that'd make the girl's hackles rise. "That's an interesting book you're reading." she merely stated, before standing up straight and walking back to Lilac. "And now, young faun, Im afraid I must take my leave. You'll be okay here, right?"

Our DMs use an app that generates fumbles, generate five or six, and pick one.

You know you're fuckied when you roll a fumble, they pick up their phone, are silent for a few seconds, then "Oho!"

I will post later today.

Wait, what forest did she live in where nothing hunted and killed anything else?

@Lonewolf685

She's gonna take her into the campus gardens, maybe with another teacher. Woods are off limits completely.

@Sync

If you have any ideas, please share. It's your arc and if I can further it, let me know.

@KoL

This is awesome. Mako can gear what aspect of Witchcraft she teaches based on who's in her class.

As Duncan followed the Vampire out to the dorms, he continued to listed to Lumen, who had just thrown a hood up indoors. Curious.
When the white haired boy had finished, Duncan replied; "Don't worry. I still feel a little like that, but at the end of the day, a school's a school. We all have classes, we'll all make friends, enemies, maybe even a relationship or two. Plus, every single one of us wants to become a Dawnslayer. I don't see any reason why we can't get along."

As they walked, Duncan noticed that Roland was being quiet, Offering a quick "excuse me," to Lumen, he dropped back to Roland's side. "Hey, mate," he started. "You've been really quiet. Are you still thinking about back there?"

When Mako was sure that every girl was gathered who was going to be gathered, she left shortly after Yurius. Lilac, who was the student closest to Mako, a circumstance tailored by the witch so that the young faun might open up to her a little more on the way there, then began to talk to her, but the topic of conversation was unusual to say the least. Mako's lips pursed into bemused smile as she walked, and as her eyes were almost constantly closed, fixed in a sweet expression, it was hard to tell what she was thinking. Mako listened in silence, not interrupting, and only when Lilac finished did she chime in.

"That's a White Witch for you. Listen, it is unnatural and wrong to have no fear of death. Fear of death is a fundamental part of being alive. 'I need to survive' is the oldest thought in the universe. I think you may have misinterpreted your grandma. At least I hope you have. Perhaps she meant that you should accept your mortality, or that your fear of death should not stop you from doing good things. These are merely guesses, though. I'm not your grandma. What I ca help you with is fear. I won't be able to get rid of it. Fear is also fundamental to survival. If rabbits stood their ground and tried to fight wolves, there'd be no more rabbits. But I can teach you the tools. I can turn you from the rabbit into the wolf."
