ANNOUNCEMENT 009

[intercom_voice]

[The intercom screeches to life as it does, and the woman speaking over it is as condescending and husky-voiced as always.]

Well hello, my petulant pupils! It seems we have some new blood coming in through our welcoming double doors~ Do treat them nicely, won't you? You wouldn't want to make any enemies in this place, now would you?

After all, the school year is quite long, and I have oh-so-many lessons planned for the lot of you! But fret not, the newly opened game rooms in the East Wing should give you something to relax with. After all, study is good for the mind, but all work and no play makes me precious students dull witted and rife with cabin fever.

Re: General Mingle

[Throughout the day, Rin can be found in a classroom writing a helpful FAQ on the whiteboard.

-- But it's not like she's following the Voice's advice or anything!!]

[burn_the_fools]

[OOC: Feel free to state if you find her in a human guise or a dragon one. For the sake of being able to come inside and such, she can adopt either as she likes.]

One will find Angelus in one of three locations:

1) The library, rifling through the books there on the shelves. She occasionally pauses on one, flips through and the replaces it in the shelves.

2) Up on the roof, likely with one of those books she borrowed from the library. Now and then one may catch her in her natural form, basking in the sun.

3) In the game room, likely glaring one of the arcade machines to death as it manages to confound her and make her lose again.

[hatestaxes]

[Oh, so this wasn't the desert? Caboose did wonder why the floor felt hard and why the walls were suddenly not weirdly shaped and brown anymore.

Also, if there's one thing he's (barely) good enough at, it's speaking to talking inanimate objects!]

Hey! Um, excuse me, but do you happen to know someone named Sheila?

2/Dragon

[stealshinies]

[Bakura enjoys lounging on the roof now and then, but what he definitely didn't expect was to run into a damn dragon up here.

Being the thief that he is, he decides to quietly and curiously sneak up to the lounging beast.]

[intercom_voice]

Ahh, one of the newcomers! And so curious too, just like the always are~ Now who were you looking for again? Sheila?

Sheila, Sheila...

[She tuts a bit, as if thinking.]

Why no, I can't say I do.

[ends_in_ashes]

[It doesn't seem to bother her honestly, not until the man is a few paces away. Then she simply directs a golden eye in his direction.]

One should take care of the creatures they would sneak up on, human.

[stealshinies]

[Caught red-handed! And by a talking dragon no less, but he's seen weirder.

Bakura coolly raises his hands as if to show his harmlessness.]

H-heh heh, and why do you assume I was sneaking up on you? I was just trying not to wake you!

[He gestures one hand towards the far end of the roof facing the inner courtyard.]

You're not the only one who likes to sit up here you know.

[asagami]

[The piercing, glowing eyes that bore right into her soul and the knife aimed at her- they would be the last thing Fujino would see. She felt her death coming and she knew it. But, she didn't want to give up...not just yet.

She closed her eyes as the knife rose whilst she drew in a sharp breath, and let out a loud scream-

...only for them to flash open and see light filtering through the windows of what appeared to be a clinic.]

A-ah, wha- ??

['Did I...die?' was the first thing that popped into her head, though the low beating of her heart proved otherwise, and as a hand went over to the right side of her stomach in a knee-jerk reaction, she gasped.

The pain she had felt back home wasn't there. Fujino wondered if she had reverted, but the soft feeling of fabric against her hand proved her wrong again.

With no other conclusions she could come to (and even clean clothes- all she had on was a wet, schoolgirl uniform that looked vaugely liked nun attire), she decided to head out and wander around the halls, looking for anything that might give more info on what this school was.]

[hatestaxes]

Ohhh.

[His head lowers slightly. There goes the hopes of wondering if she was alive. Though, he easily looks up once more.]

Oh, oh! Do you have a name, then? If you don't, can I call you "Sheila 2.0"?

[intercom_voice]

[Wait what?]

...I do, but...

[Well, how can she say no when he sounds that enthusiastic?]

By all means, go ahead.

[redsanctus]

[Well, this put a wrench in his plans. Shirou did wonder for a moment if it was a Noble Phantasm that had been cast, but he hadn't felt any traces of magic, so that threw his theory out.

In any case, he's currently found in the auditorium, facing the stage. Though, on closer inspection, his head is bowed as his hands are clasped together and he mutters something under his breath. He's not bothered by the state of the room, so he might as well make use of it.]

[onethirdthesoul]

[Lucky for her someone helpful is standing nearby, but he doesn't seem to notice her distress right away as he's standing near one of the intercoms, pouting furiously.

His finger hovers above the button, but it seems whatever he has to say to the woman who was speaking just a minute ago isn't going to come out.

After a moment he turns and spots Fujino and her state of dress, his huffiness replaced with worry.]

...Hey. Are you okay?

[hatestaxes]

Hooray, I made a new friend! With a name of an old friend.

...a new-old friend! [a beat] But, I can't take you with me! You're stuck to the wall.

[Well, there goes that celebration. He hums to himself to a moment of deep thinking. Which is really just the shallow end of a pool.]

Wait, I know how to get you un-stuck! [And what better way to do that then by slamming on the intercom with the bottom of his gun.] Do not worry, Sheila 2.0! I will get you out of there soon!

[asagami]

Hm?

[She was a little pre-occupied in glancing around, so it takes a bit to realize that he was talking to her.]

Oh! Um, yes. What's the matter?

[1300ft_freefall]

[Alex just mutters to himself and takes a half-hearted swing at one of the speakers as he passes it. For such a seemingly weak blow, it leaves a sizeable dent in the box.]

Yeah, yeah...shut up, already.

[disenchanter]

[Being able to neutralize the magic of other Mages is draining, to say the least. Not the ability itself, but trying to keep it off for any decent amount of time. Coupled with Jamie's inability to sense magic unless she walks into the spell or sees it being cast, it's made for a very tired (and annoyed) Mage indeed. Since she's not sure exactly how many people in this place have magic, she's been making more of an effort than usual to rein it in. Right now though? She needs a break away from all the people, and she's just a bit tired of her room. The auditorium seemed like a good place to hide for a while; it's nice and empty.

Or not.

Jamie lets out an audible groan as she notices the boy and almost turns to leave, before deciding she just really doesn't care right now. She drops into a seat and crosses her arms, closing her eyes. She won't bug him, he won't bug her. Right?]

[whiterosefoes]

[Harriet ventures into the auditorium - she doesn't come in here often, but if it weren't for the lack of power and general creepiness, it might remind her of her old drama club. Being in a place so long, occasional pangs of nostalgia can be enough to draw a person in.

But there's another man in here- and is he praying? She knows better than to interrupt someone during that, although she can't really tell for sure that's what he's doing. So she kind of watches him a bit awkwardly, wondering if she should leave - then the lights suddenly spark on for a moment causing the rose-haired young woman to gasp in surprise before they darken once more.]

Aha, I guess there is some power in here...

[she comments mostly to herself, but partly to excuse her silly reaction.]

[roadroller]

So you weren't dead! ♪

[wannabeaboy]

Uh.. Hey there! New kid here, just arrived.. I just have one, teensy-tiny question to ask:

[clears throat]

WHY AREN'T THERE ANY TEACHERS IN THIS WHOLE SCHOOL!?

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Bakura doesn't normally bother with the Voice, but he has a reason to do it today. At least, he agreed to do it for Karasu. So he reels in his usual sarcasm a bit to try to talk politely.]

Thanks for the game rooms! But I was wondering something. Do you have a minute? I wanted to ask something involving the health of your students.

Lisa's certainly capable with physical injuries, but how is it you don't have anyone here qualified to handle mental health issues?

[And don't tell him Edna's a qualified therapist or he will end you.]

3 / human I assume! Although a dragon playing in the arcade is hilarious.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hehehe...hahahahahahaha! Not much of a gamer, are you?

[Arms folded over his chest, Bakura grins at her maliciously. The glare on her face is hilarious.]

[moderndaydragon]

...So, you wouldn't happen to have an updated guide book for Duel Monsters, would you?

[moderndaydragon]

[Karasu's pretty easy to find today, mostly lounging on the roof and kicking her legs off the side. She's not too worried about falling off or anything, for obvious reasons for anyone who knows her, so she's just sort of zoned out at present.]
