The Academy for the Supernaturally Inclined (IC)

[Nicoffee]

"Gwen...Dolyn?" He repeated, trying to mimic something as close as to her phonetics as he was able to. "I'll just call you Gwen, hope that's okay with you." He glanced down at her extended hand for a moment and chuckled, instead going for her arm as he walked up beside her and slipped his arm into hers. Taking a moment to examine the girl up and down, one hand on his chin. "...So. What are you exactly? I am not trying to be rude or something of the sort here, but I have spent most of my time around my own kind...So I'm not familiar with other folk much." He confessed, shrugging his shoulders slightly as he walked with her to the location of the ceremony.

"Are all of them as beautiful as you are or is that just a particular quality of yourself?" He questioned, sticking a tongue out as a somewhat tease. He then frowned a bit, glancing over at the owl. "And uh...Who's your feathery friend here?"

[lilbooth]

"Yes that's quite fine." She said while she allowed herself to be escorted by Fernando. "I am a Dryad, which is a woodland subspecies of nymphs. We are each bound to a particular tree, mine is a cherry. And uhh... yes, most of us are rather physically alluring." She continued blushing slightly. She held out one of her hands clenched in a first and slowly opened it, revealing a fresh dark cherry in her palm, she held it towards Fernando. "Don't worry I'm not going to brainwash you or anything." She glanced back at the owl, who was now quite some distance from them. That is Tito, he was my guide here to the school, and also out of the communal garden on campus." Said Gwendolyn gesturing back towards Tito. "What are you if you don't mind me asking, you seem rather human, but I haven't spent much time around anyone other than my family."

[Nicoffee]

"A dryad, huh?" He repeated, rubbing the side of his forehead in thought. The enchanted one then slowly accepted the cherry, chuckling. "You know, girls usually ask me who I am before they offer me their cherry." He teased, sticking his tongue out once again before toying with the cherry in his fingers a bit. "Sadly I can't eat THIS kind of cherry though. Carnivore, you see." He confessed, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm an Encantado. Err...Enchanted One. I come from a place down under the sea called Encante." He gestured pointing off towards the horizon. "Nice place, really. But DREADFULLY boring, nothing interesting ever happens there...Like...Ever. It's like a merry little utopia, but it's TOO much of an utopia, you know? Conflict is fun, man." He explained, continuing to play with the cherry in his fingers.

"But yeah...I'm uh...Not really that human. This form is just a nice trick my folks taught me...Well, it's not exactly perfect though." He confessed, pulling up his hat a bit to reveal the dolphin blow hole still present at the top of his forehead.

[lilbooth]

"I've never seen the sea, not really the best environment to stimulate growth. Well, the kind that I need anyway." She said as they continued walking. Being not very familiar with human biology, the double-entendre that was associated with the cherry was lost on her. She politely smiled though as Fernando flashed his tongue yet again. It was a rather interesting tick that he seemed to have. "I'm not very fond of conflict, but I understand how it could be boring. This is the first time I've been anywhere other than the hill I grew up on. Most of my excitement came from human visitors. The forest critters were easy to attract, but they scare easy aswell. Humans only came when they wanted to, and often stayed for a long while." She continued while she glanced upward at Fernando. "What do you use that for? It looks awfully peculiar."

[Nicoffee]

"Yeah, that's what makes humans interesting, man! They're like...Unpredictable. Unstable! They're not like the folks at Encante! Back home we don't have anything like alcohol, drugs...Can you believe folks there taboo sex for recreational purposes?" He sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. "I mean have you ever had sex or had booze? It's AMAZING. I don't understand how they can be so close-minded as they are..."

He stopped his ramblings when you asked what the blow hole was for, which got him to blush considerably, then follow up with an awkward rub against the back of his head. "It's...Uhm...Well...To get the carbon out of my body when I'm swimming." He sighed, scratching the back of his head. "Erm...Okay so...You know how like...Trees take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen...Right? I mean...You're a plant, you know about that stuff, don't you?"

He sighed, shaking his head. "...Okay, summarizing. I use it to breathe out after I've been in the water for too long...That...Is as simple as I can explain it, I think."

"I do not believe you understand the gravity of your appearance at this academy Ms." The imp looked almost shocked. "Your race is so rarely seen on Earth, you will be in a class all your own. I'm not certain we even have a teacher appropriate enough for you. You may even be offered a teaching position straight out the gate, if you'd take it." His whole dimenour seemed to change suddenly. "And besides, you'll at least be brought to the headmaster for a personal interview." His tone darkened ominously, even for you. His voice went from the light jaunty cockney he began this interview with, to a very nervous and deep growl. Caution and a sort of giddy excitement seemed to begin seeping into his words. "He he he he he." He let go a low chuckle and brought both hands set of digits into his mouth chewing them softly but savagely. His gaze had gone downward towards the ground since he had began his disturbing display. Blood crawled down his hands as he continued to chuckle nervously.

The paper was headlined "The Daily Schedule for Natalie Wessfield." At the top right was a time stamp. "11:03 AM" and immediately below it was a single line of elegant writing. "Induction Ceremony - Auditorium - 11:45 AM." A quick glance up to the top right once more showed the time "11:17 AM." The moment you noticed the spelling error on your schedule, the ink shifted to correct it. "Westfield."

[Hazard1325]

Natalie read through her schedule excited to see both the curriculum and the magic ink. "This place is so cool" She said to herself folding up the paper and quickly getting a glass of water. She always got thirsty when she was nervous or excited but she also had places to be. She quickly downed the water and headed for the auditorium trying not to gawk at all the strange people on campus. She was a bit sheltered from the mainstream supernatural world so seeing all these creatures only added to her excitement. If she had to, she'd stop to ask directions to the auditorium, but otherwise headed strait there.

[exalted]

Sera rolled her eyes at the vulgar display put forth by the vile diminutive creature as she finished the paperwork.

"My 'kind' have always been a class of their own, Imp," she churled as she stacked the papers neatly and placed the pen on top, "Now take me to this head master so this irksome charade may at last be over."

[lilbooth]

"Very interesting..." She said as she stood on her toes to try and get a better look at the peculiar specimen. Fernando was far too tall though for her method of investigation to proof useful. "I myself am not a plant. I am bonded to a tree, my body is part of it and my life depends on upon its health. So yes I am familiar with the process of breathing." She said while taking a long heavy breath. "In more than one sense." She continued giving Fernando a warm smile. "I've had wine before, stole it actually but the humans I took it from were far too occupied to notice. Never tried any other kind of alcohol, it tends to kill plants really, and killing plants isn't exactly a safe move for me. And as for sex... only ever once and I hardly found it to be amazing. I believe I'm a rare case in that regard, most nymphs are rather promiscuous. Dryads are apparently late bloomers in that regard I suppose. But I have been bearing fruit for a few years now." She reassured him. "You are surprisingly pleasant to speak to Fernando." She said as she reached for the cherry he was toying with in his hand. When she was close enough the cherry began to slowly dry up and curl around one of his fingers. The pit and stem formed a small wooden band the fruit embedded itself into the wood spelling out Fernando. "In case we don't have any classes together, this should help you find me in the garden."

[Nicoffee]

"Ahah. I see." Fernando replied, scratching the very tip of his nose. As he glanced down at Gwen staring up at his expose blow hole, he awkwardly gave her a few more seconds to look before he put his hat back in place, hiding it up again. "...Anyways." He cleared his throat up a bit, listening in carefully to the rest of her words. "Ah...Well, maybe the other person just wasn't doing that much of a good job, eh?" He chuckled, flicking the tip of his hat a bit further down.

"Personally I find sex to be a very...Personal thing. It's kind of like...Musica, music, yeah? Sometimes when you make some noise with the right person, it just uh...Does not work. The chemistry ain't good, you're not really on the same tempo. Sometimes it kinda works...You agree with this and that, establish some dos and do nots, then it's...It's not perfect. But you make it work, it's okay, you have a good time. But then sometimes you just find the right string and the right rhythm, you make the right chemistry and it's like magic, y'know." He mumbled, though it was kind of hard to tell if he was talking about sex or music at this point, maybe both kind of worked the same for him.

Regardless, he was snapped out of his little rant when she gave him the little ring made out of a cherry's stem, the Encantado glanced at it confusedly for a second. He could shapeshift, sure, but he was rather unfamiliar with other kinds of magic, so this struck him as rather...New. "...Uhuh. I don't know how this is gonna be helping me, exactly but uh...Sure. Thanks. For saying I'm pleasant to talk to, that is. You are yourself, Gwen." He smiled some, once again sticking his tongue out before he began glancing around, rubbing his cheek some. "Wonder when this ceremony thing is gonna start though? It should be somewhere around here, I believe."

As you walked out your door and through the building you notice a number of different odd species all around you. Harpies, ghouls, ghosts, and sprites to name a few, but there were so many more! You felt almost overwhelmed. The only thing impeding your travel was a faculty member that told you to go back and put on your uniform you may have hanging in your wardrobe. Once you do, you move with the crowd and reach the auditorium at around "11:23." Or at least that's what the magic schedule says.

"Yes." The imp recomposes himself and looks at you still with a crazed gaze, but with a more disturbing formality coupled with his sudden eccentricity at the thought of the headmaster. "Yes, you should meet the headmaster, shouldn't you." He firmly plants his hands on his head, one on his chin, the other gripping firmly onto his left horn. He then twists his head and snaps his own neck with a sickening "CrAcK." He slumps forward with white eyes and still present smile. His face smacking against the metal table apparently dead.

[Hazard1325]

Natalie was a bit irritated they had her change outfits, she preferred loose clothing, everything else just felt so stuffy but she wasn't going to argue on her first day. She quickly ran back to her dorm and changed then returned to the auditorium and started looking around for a place to sit.

[exalted]

"Really?" Sera poked the disgusting creature with tip of the pen of a few times.

Really, she shouldn't have been surprised by the deranged things antics, they had been cast out to the shadows for good reason after all. Twidling her thumbs, she looked around her surroundings for a while, waiting for something to happen.

"So... should I go now?" She asked aloud to no one in particular as she started to stand, "I'm going to go now."

Your new uniform was a two piece ensemble. A neat black and white detailed blouse with an odd logo on the left breast that you assume is the school logo, and your choice between a long skirt, short skirt, or very short skirt with a matching color scheme. Once you put it on it all seemed rather tight, but as you thought of your own preferences it seemed to loosen a little to your preference. Remarking at this for a moment, you march out and off to the assembly following your fellow students.

It wasn't a particularly long walk. In fact you were there within 8 minutes. A tall oblong domed building stood proudly before you with large metallic doors inviting you in. Faculty members of multiple different species and races ushered equally diverse students to and through those great doors, and you yourself were met with a shockingly familiar face. "Oh why hello there Ms. Westfield." The succubus appeared to be an usher. Great. "I hadn't realized you'd dally long enough for me to finish my other 4 students and be back here in time to usher you in. How lovely." That wicked, probably horny, smile curled across her painted lips again. "Granted, it is a place where time moves at a 20th of it's normal speed. Regardless, shall I show you to your seat?"

"And how would you go about doing that Ms., he he he, "Morningstar?"" A deep, low voice tailed your words. You looked up and to realize there was a dark sludge dripping from the imps mouth and pooled onto the floor. From that pool a figure rose up, 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, 9ft tall. Horns, accursed horns, jutted up stabbing the air. A pair of dark brooding sockets stared at you, dimming your own blazing halo. Darkness creeped across the walls and consumed the light. His skin was pale. Human almost. and once the black faded, it revealed he wore a pressed two piece suit, akin to the imp. "Hello madam." He bowed slightly, lifting his arm to his center as they did in older times. "My name is Professor Adrenold. I am the headmaster of this Academy. I welcome you to our fine institution." His face grimaced into a wretched, but seemingly natural smile. He stood from his bow and looked down upon you. He looked down on you. Only briefest moment passed before he sat down. As he did, you saw his shoulders hunch and relax in an over-exaggerated manner. He never seemed to stop looking down on you, even as he sat, and now you were face to face with the former lord of the Daemons.

[Hazard1325]

Natalie took the short skirt and quickly put on the ensemble feel it seem to loosen up a bit and slide over to reveal most of one shoulder. She didnt bother with a bra, no time to waste getting to the assembly... of course once she was there she froze seeing the sucubus and listened to her. "Uhhh no thanks I think I can find it." She said trying to slip by and find some random spot that had an open seat. If it was assigned seating hopefully she could just talk her way out of any issues she might cause.
