Ariadust academy (second semester)

[kai the pkk]

( as Sylvester went for Lauren both Leo and Alex got infront of Lauren and stopped their swords before they connected wih Sylvester)

Reid: yeah besides after that last attack...there's really not much left to bring back besides look at us...( he looks over his team) ah! Wait is my scarf okay hold on wait ( he starts to feel around and once he knows his scarf is fine he relaxes) phew okay...yeah let's head on over there what the hell..just happened hey Sylvester? Are you all good?

Alex: we're heading back first okay you guys? ( swallow tail walks off)

Lauren: yeesh Sylvester can be scary at times. Huh? Good thing the boys were watching out for me

Leo: don't do that again

Alex: good job today everyone Mira you did a great job You really held your own today and didnt cause too much damage..you know other than hitting me with the Tonfas and slapping the wounded


Karin: soo then how about we start making our way aback ( she leans on Sylvester for support) don't complain for once I'm tired one okay? Lets just get back...ugh I need a shower...good to see a,irate exhaustion doesn't slow down Ariadusts princess Lucy ( she laughs jokingly)

Reid: so Lucille want to head back so we can go on that date and exchange gifts?

[GamerKale]

Sylvester nodded at Reid. "Yeah, sorry, I've just been kind of overly aggressive all day, haven't I? I'm probably just cranky from lack of sleep and knowing I won't be getting any tonight. It's not like I was seriously going to hurt her, no aura, just posturing. There's no way I could have stopped like that if I'd been meaning to hit her."

He wrapped an arm around Karin to help support her. "I agree completely. You need a shower." Sylvester eyed her. "How is this even comfortable for you?"

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Lucille pointed her nose up and puffed out her chest in a show of bravado, after clearing her throat she spoke in a raised voice.“Not one bit would it slow down a woman destined to be Queen!” Lucille laughed arrogantly and walked along with Reid, her legs a bit shaky but she pressed onward. As she took her steps she made sure her toes curled into the dirt a little so she was making full steps and not wanting to risk falling over.

“Of course I do Reid, every girl wants her day in the sun after all.” She smiled and pecked Reid's cheek, blushing softly. “But First! Team Relics! Off to receive our reward!” She pumped her fist into the air and held it there for a moment. She laughed as she withdrew her hand and held Reid's hand tightly in hers once more, “Let's find that instructor and get all those pieces hahaha!”

[kai the pkk]

Reid: ( he smirks as Lucille takes his hand) your right damn it we worked for I afterall!...wait so you just wouldn't be able to control yourself? I feel like you should probably work on that


Karin: yeah no beasting out unless hey really deserve it and you think I need a shower how rude you should get a whiff of your self Sylvester not exactly fresh ugh whatever lets just go please

Reid: and were off! ( the tea, arrives back at the instructor)

Reid and Alex: what?

Instructor: well the original quest was to team RLKS which is why they receive the reward but a bonus reward is given to Swallow tail for cooperation and helping out both teams so it looks like the top spot is actually a draw

Karin: ....no way

Reid:* sigh* fine...oh by the way we smashed up your ruins have fun cleaning up our mess ( he takes his pieces and he hands them to his teammates) it looks like times up

Alex: ( he walks over to his own team and he looks to Mira) see we came in first technically..although not by much

( both teams begin their walk back to the academy)

Alex: I want to take a nap

Leo: that's the best plan you've come up with

Lauren: yay! We came in first! Well sort of..I'm counting it as a win!

Reid: sorry...I couldn't lead us to a complete victory this time

Karin: so do you two have any special plans tonight Lucy? Oh by the way Sylvester when does this Gala start?

[GamerKale]

"Soon enough that we should be heading to One's place right now, we can shower there, you'll pick out your dress while I run through a song or two with Toby and the rest of Hangman's Joke, and hopefully we'll have enough time to get in some dance lessons and maybe scarf something down before the guests start arriving." Much as he made it sound like they should be in a hurry, he didn't seem to be moving too terribly fast to get there. Waiting for Karin to finish talking.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

“Haha! If I worked on it I wouldn't be me, I'd be some lame ass version who didn't strive for the tropheum!” She giggled and brushed the hair from her face, “And let Sylvee beast out! If he can win let him! He wouldn't actually kill anyone or nothing like that. He's too warm inside.” She laughed and bit her lip, “If anyone's gonna be a killer it'd be me.” Lucille laughed, “But they'd have to be a real big pain in the ass, I mean so far Mira's only got a foot coming her way!”

Lucilled sighed in disappointment. “Well I landed the killing blow!” She whined as Reid handed the pieced and the bell signaled the final exchanging of the pieces for the day. She curled her toes in the dirt and thumbed her Queen piece. “Stupid school stupid rules, how can their be two winning teams? Are there no fail-safes? No top teams must battle amongst themselves? I can't stand being tied with that snow-haired princess, that little pompous doll-faced brat! Heart Kreuz isn't even that good of a brand...” Lucille pouted the entire trip back to the academy.

“Oh well we win too, so how about that?” Lucille's bitter tone was more than apparent. “Hey!” Lucille brushed off Karin's question. “Don't apologize Reid! Let's have tournament! The eight of us! Real quick Aura jazz like they make us in sparring, winner's team is declared the winner, unofficially and officially why not? Mira are ya ready for a faceful of my foot?” Lucille taunted and brandished Relic in Sylvee forme, letting the dull edge appear by itself.

[GamerKale]

Sylvester didn't say anything he just frowned at Lucille's misplaced faith in his warm and fuzziness. He didn't think he'd kill anyone he knew, like Lauren, well there was one person, Tristan, but otherwise he was pretty sure sure he'd hold back enough, although... there were the events with Quinton and his team and that had been dangerously close.

Mirajane didn't hear Lucille's taunting, she was too busy shoving Alex ahead of herself and chanting. "Parfaits! Parfaits! Parfaits! Partay! Parfaits! Parfaits! Parfaits!"

"Oh to be merely a guest. Maybe next time." Sylvester muttered as he watched Mira walk off.

[kai the pkk]

Reid: ( he places his hand on Lucille's shoulder) I don't think she heard you..besides we're exhausted all of us even them it wouldn't be a fair fight if we went at it in our condition but...I promise you when we face them in the tournament we'll show them who the real number one team at Ariadust is. ( he smirks playfully) besides I know you want to face them just as badly as I do

Karin: The leaders right Lucy a heated battle between two people in their peak condition fighting with all the strength they have until only one is left standing isn't that more fun and exciting? And besides I thought you and Mira had a class together why not spar with her then? ( she looks at Sylvester) wow really we should really get a move on then! Wait they are just going to let me borrow a dress?...what's the catch?

Alex: ow okay hey! Stop shoving me Mira

Lauren and Leo: Parfaits Parfaits! Parfaits!

Alex: would you two knock it off!

[GamerKale]

Sylvester raised an eyebrow at Karin. "Borrow?" He looked at the sky. "If you're ready to go-" He ducked out of Karin leaning on him abruptly and caught her with one arm behind her back and the other behind her knees. "we should get gone. Reid." He inclined his head for a second and was at a dead sprint the next. He only stopped to catch his breath one time, when he jumped from a roof and landed on top of a car for about thirty seconds before it turned one way and he leaped the other.

Finally he jumped over a massive locked gate, sprinted down a hundred yard long drive, and set her down at the top of the steps of a large door. He then flopped onto the stone ground. "We're taking a car back in the morning." A few seconds later the doors swung inwards, pulled by a young elderly bear-faunus woman in a massive frilly pink dress, that shone with her pink aura, albeit somehow her aura itself was even less detectable than Sylvester's often was. "NEPHEW!" She shouted and lifted Sylvester up into a hug. Sylvester croaked out, between his lungs being crushed, "Hi... Auntie... Dot." "Oh, did you run all the way here? Let's get you two washed and dressed. Your siblings are already practicing." She scooped Karin up and carried the pair of them over her tiny shoulders. Sylvester didn't bother resisting, he looked over at Karin. "Karin, this is Auntie Dot, she was a very close friend of my mom's, she's also my chief bodyguard, original sensei, and my dance instructor."
Edit:
Dot tossed Sylvester into a literal bath, where servants quickly descended upon him as she walked out of the extravagant bathing room. Karin received similar treatment, except while Sylvester had been attacked by mixed gender servants hers were all women. When they had finished scrubbing and washing her, it seemed like she was a racing car making a pit stop with the speeds at which they worked, they ushered her into a large closet/dressing room, at some point Karin's hair had been dyed silver. Two more maids stood ready to help her get into/out of the various dresses. All of the servants wore silver suits, even the maids. In addition to the maids in the room Callie, One's wife, sat in a chair, she wore an elegant silver dress, tasteful silver jewelry to accent it, and her hair had been dyed silver much like Karin's own, but she also seemed to be wearing silver contacts which Karin had not been given, she held baby Michale "Mikey" in her arms, he was dressed in a silver onesy suit. "Are you okay Karin? You look a little... flustered, would you like to sit down for a minute before you select your outfit?" The dresses were all various shades of silver, most had a little Heart Kreuze symbol worked in discreetly, and there was silver jewelry in cases on the walls.

Sylvester went through a similar wash, and then was dressed in a silver suit, put in contacts, and dyed his hair. He joined his siblings on a stage. 4: "The prodigal cat returns." 1:"Shut it four, you've ruined the last three runs." 4: "Hey, I said I was sorry." 6: "Guys, let's just get it right, ok? Five's here, we'll be able to keep our tempo better now." 2: "We'd better, or I'm going to lose my voice before anybody even arrives." They were all dressed similarly, the brothers in Silver suits, and Toby in a ridiculous/beautiful silver dress that she and Mira had probably designed.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

“Grrrr... stupid princess, those big dumb earring block out all noise like a auditory eclipse!” Lucille shouted bitterly at the fading image of her rival. Parfaits had slipped her mind and she released her foot from the Earth. Lucille returned Relic to Reid forme and holstered her hammer once more, sighing audibly as she tossed her air back a little to distract her from this “tie.” “Darn this sucks.” She whispered below her breath before turning to Reid, “Yeah, yeah, I'm just not used to sharing first place, you know?” Lucille's frown turned into a smile. “Yeah, I know sweetie, and when we fight them during the tourney we should totally go one on one I really wanna sock Mira you know?”

Lucille turned to face Karin, holding Reid as she smiled playfully once more. “If I punch her in class she'll yell, it's all about dust control ya dig? And as long as the jolly gold jackass is teaching it we aren't attending, he doesn't like Mira or myself, and since Mira's read books and can multi-cast and stuff she's technically better at dust, but my raw talent with fire dust is unmatched.” Lucille puffed out her chest, but Sylvester suddenly snatched up Karin and the pair were gone. “Oh, well you two have fun!”

Lucille smiled as Reid was all hers now. “Carry me.” Lucille hopped up onto Reid's back, going for the less traditional style as she pointed toward Ariadust, “I have a bunch of surprises for ya!” Lucille laughed as her sleeve fell from her shirt, the seams torn. “Well this is why I owned a battle dress, real clothes can't stand my style!” She laughed heartily as her legs wrapped around Reid and she held onto his shoulders as to not choke him.

[kai the pkk]

Reid: as you wish who am I to Deny a queen such a request ( he begins walking back towards the academy) well if those are the rules than we should fight them one on one embarrassingly I am interested in what would happen if me and Alex were to spar ( he notices her outfit in tatters as he blushes and he just looks straight ahead) maybe you uh- umm maybe we should go and clean ourselves up first you know a change of clothes and a shower You have a bunch of surprises for me? You uh really didn't have to Lucille there's uh..well there's something I want to give you later as well

---------

Karin: wh- hu- when...WHAT?! ( she runs to a Mira to look at her hair) what happened to my hair?! Wait ( she looks at all the dresses) oh wow! These are all the latest brands aren't they wait I've only seen this one in magazines oh wow! ( she geeks out over the different dresses and jewelry) oh ah ( she blushes) oh Callie it's good to see you again can you uh? ( she shys away and blushes embarassed) can you explain what's all the silver and maybe help me pick out a dress?

[GamerKale]

"Of course, that's why I'm here." Callie stood up and walked over unhurriedly. "I was pretty overwhelmed the first dozen or so times I was on this side. Still am sometimes. Silver is the Schrodinger family color. All of the servants wear the same standardized suit, the men also wear suits, but slightly customized. Sylvester and Toby for example wear rapiers. The hair denotes you as a personal guest not a servant, it's also done with dust, just in case something happens and you need to defend yourself, with the exception of dear Sylvester all of the Schrodinger children naturally have silver hair and eyes, some freak of genetics which Tybalt and his wife have embraced wholeheartedly. The silver eyes therefore denote someone who is a part of the family. Admittedly, the standardization is unnecessary as everyone present will already know who the Schrodingers are, but it's their way and it can be rather intimidating at times, especially when you walk in and see the uninterrupted line of silver on the far side of the hall. Tybalt and his wife usually dust themselves with silver glitter, the subtle glimmer on their skin makes them stand out, so you know who the head of the family is. For events we're not hosting the dress code is less restrictive, but silver is still a prominent color, in dress at the very least."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

“Oh Reid when you say things like that I just want to blush.” Lucille giggled to herself as she held on to Reid's shoulders. “If you and Alex fought you'd crush him in a heartbeat; if Leo and Sylvee fought, Sylvee would show Leo what a lion really is like; if Kari and Lauri fought well, I mean Lauren's got power, but I really underestimated Kari during break, so that'd be a fun match up; and saving the best for last, if Mira were in the ring with me I'd win. She's too fragile and pretty and stuff you know? I'd shatter her into a million pieces before she could cast... hmmm... I'll give her 13 casts.” Lucille counted on her fingers the casting formations she'd seen Mira use, and her own casts, which consisted of her blazing sprites. Once Reid commented on showering Lucille's lips perked into a smile. “Oh? I was going to change if we went out of course. Buuuuuuuuut if you wanna shower together, I can do that too~” Lucille said with a sheepish smirk in a sing-song tone. “And then we can dress each other like an old married couple!” Lucille's cheeks were burned red with embarrassment and demureness, she was just teasing, but from up here Reid couldn't tell.

[kai the pkk]

Reid: ( his face burns bright red) Ah th-th-that's- ( he try's to play it off) good to know you would be open to the idea but I didn't mean for it to come out like that you say that Mira is pretty but I still think she doesn't hold a candle to my queen - ( he stops realizing what he said) nevermind forget that ( his face still burns) a-anyway lets just get back for now ( after a few minutes the couple make it back to their dorm) and were home ( he sets Lucille down gently) you can use the shower first hmmm I guess we should dress up abit huh? I mean I can't take you out looking like this in my battle gear can I?

-----

Karin: silver huh? You should call it a freak of genetics it's just different is all right? ( she looks at a dress) how does this look? Hmm or maybe this one or that one? Wait so I'll have to wear those contacts as well? This all sees so official and fancy I don't know if I'll fit in with everyone

----

Alex: oh Mira shouldn't we be getting ready for that gala thing? ( he hands her a parfait) you don't want me looking like this all sweaty and gross right?

[GamerKale]

"You're right, of course. Just a little test, seeing how you handle "idle" remarks like that. You'll be dealing with a number of them in the coming hours, not to mention days if you join us for more of these. They all look hood on you. We can set some aside for future events, if you like. Normally, I would say it depends on what you want the guy to notice, but Sylvester is well Sylvester. He's seen all of the usual tactics without batting an eye, and you'll be with our precious black sheep, so don't you worry about "fitting in" so long as you like it and feel comfortable wearing it. And no, you won't be wearing the contacts tonight, not unless you and Sylvester have eloped and feel like coming out about that tonight, but I'm pretty sure he would at least have told Toby and the day she keeps such a big secret from the rest of us is the day Grimalken speaks to a girl." Callie had one of the maids pick up one of the dresses, much as she trusted them there was no way in hell she'd hand her baby off to either of them. "If we want to help you stand out. Maybe we should at least narrow it down to something sleeveless that will show off your muscles? The only other girl who is going to be here tonight who could compare should be our October, the others are pretty much all anorexic and as I was on that side once myself I should know."
-------------------------
((Forgot about Mira again.))
Mira looked up at Alex, and grinned. "I suppose there is a lot of work to do." She snapped her fingers, a car pulled up, two men in HeartKreauze suits stepped out, grabbed Alex, and dragged him into the back. "See you later Alex." Mira waved happily and took a large bite of her parfait while the car drove off.

When she was done enjoying her parfait she whistled and another car drove up. "Later Leoren." Mira called as she stepped in and was taken to get ready.

Alex went through a process similar to the one Karin had gone through, except they had taken tweezers to his eyebrows, shaved his face, his hair was dyed to be black with a white streak, cut, and styled. He was shoved into a perfectly fitting black tuxedo, a cane sword was placed in his hands, and a fedora was put on his head at a jaunty angle. Everything he wore had the HeartKreuze logo on it somewhere. The whole process took at least an hour, and at the end he found himself in the back of a limousine.

The driver eventually came to a stop outside of a HeartKreuze boutique and lowered the partition saying. "Miss Strauss will see you now." Mira was in a white and blue low cut backless dress that appeared to only stay on because of how well it fit her body, her skirt went down to just above her ankles, and the dress gave off specks of ice dust every time she moved giving her a kind of surreal appearance and leaving a bit of a trail, on her feet she wore what appeared to be high heeled shoes made of ice, the very bottoms of which were perfectly clear so that she seemed to be hovering off the ground slightly. She slowly spun around and waited for some kind of reaction from Alex.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

((Sorry finals happened and then ORAS hype happened.))

“Oh I love it when you call me Queen!” Lucille giggled and wrapped her arms around Reid, holding her tightly until they made it back to the dorm room. She smiled as he placed her down gently and gave him an air kiss. “You're so sweet to me of Reidy.” She giggled again and sat up kicking out her feet and curling his toes and uncurling them once more. “I guess it makes sense for me to go in first, you know, since I'll need to be all dolled up for a tonight's activities.” She stood up and ripped the sleeve she barely had anymore off. “Oh well. I guess I'll just have to make due.” She twirled into the bathroom.

Lucille later exited in merely a towel, her face bright bright red. “U-Um... u-uh... y-you're turn in there.” Lucille whispered sheepishly before dashing into her room. The door was closed before Reid could make a move. “TAKE YOUR SHOWER ALREADY!” She screamed nervously.

[kai the pkk]

Reid: ( he couldn't help but stare as Lucille walked out of the bathroom) wow...( he blushes as she runs off and yells) ah yeah! Your right ( he removes his scarf and shirt before he walks into the bathroom and he walks out a few minutes later and he walks into his room to pick out a more dressed up outfit) okay soooo it's a one month anniversary... Where should we go.....crap I need to figure this out quick ( a light bulb clicks in his head) I got it! Now lets hope Lucille will love it ( he changes his clothes)

-------

Alex ( before he arrived Alex was freaking out) ah ow hey don't pull that hey jeez! Ow I can dess myself damn it! ( soon after he's tossed into the limo) oh boy this is how it ends I didn't think Mira was planning th- ( once he arrives he steps out and sees Mira and can't help but stare) oh wow...you look...Amazing ( he blushes slightly) nevermind next time can you ask your butlers and everyone not to be so rough I mean ( he removes the hat and he greets Mira like a gentleman) was the hat really necessary?

-------

Karin: oh! I can't decide you pick one for me Callie I trust your tastes are better than mine in this sort of thing I wouldn't really say I'm muscular but I'm lean soo ugh I can't decide! Help me caaaallliee. Or hmm we can let little Mickey decide

[GamerKale]

Callie shook her head. "Nope. I'm here to help, but you have to make the ultimate decision. You'll be the one Sylvester will be seeing in it all night. Get rid of all the sleeved ones, let's make this easier for her." The maids took armfuls of dresses away and after a minute they were done, there were still a lot of dresses remaining though. "So, we've narrowed it down a little. Less daunting, yes? How do you want to narrow it next? Back or backless? How much leg do you want to show? How low of a cut in the front?"
---------------------
4:"Five, seriously, stop throwing me off." 3:"Even I can tell that Five, is keeping the rhythm perfectly, Four. You're the one who keeps screwing it up." 4:"Says the guy who's just banging on a cowbell. Why are you even up here? You know, what, no you're right. It's not five, it's you three. You're the one who keeps throwing me off." "Trust me, you're going to want that cowbell. In fact, Grimalken, why don't you give us a little more of that cowbell? 1:"I agree, Three, we gotta have more cowbell." 6:"Yeah, explore the space with that cowbell." 3:"Really?" 2:"Really, Three, explore the space." 4:"Oh fine, whatever. Just go play it away from me." Three shakes his head and goes to stand on the other side of One. 3:"This far enough away for ya?" 4:"You know what, screw all of you." Four tossed his bass, Auntie Dot caught it. "Chance, get back up there. Or I will break this bass over your head." 4:"Just try it." The little old woman smashed it to pieces on his skull. Four dropped like a sack of potatoes. "Honestly, this is why I told him he needed to work on his aura's strength." Several scantily clad maids readied dust and attacked Auntie Dot, they were all unconscious in under a second. "Should I wake him up now?" The siblings were all laughing hysterically, it took a minute before Three stopped laughing enough to nod his head. 3:"Honestly, Four, what did you think would happen? She's the only bodyguard on staff that Mr. Hendrix is afraid to fight. Now grab your spare and get back up here." Four's would be bodyguards were carted off by other staff. 5:"Auntie Dot, could you go check on Karin for me?" 6:"Tired of practicing with us already?" 5:"We sound fine. As long as Four doesn't stop every time he makes a little mistake we should be good, and this is her first time with such a crowd." 4:"Which one's Karin?" 5:"You'll see soon enough." 1:"Speaking of first times. Three, who did you get to come? Two told me you told him not to arrange anyone for you. You actually manage to talk to a girl?" 3:"She is a woman and I can honestly say I don't think you any of you guys know her."
-------------------
During the arguing Auntie Dot slipped away. "Knock knock." She said as she entered Karin's changing room. "How are we coming along?"

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Lucille put on her traditional battle dress and twirled before a mirror, before sighing softly. “This... this won't work. This isn't special enough... I've gotta have something with more flair.” Lucille neatly folded the dress and proceeded to dig through all the clothes she'd bought in her recent escapades and finally her eyes set upon a red petal dress ((The one in the center))

She dressed herself accordingly and prepared her hair. She looked at Relic and left it atop her bed, fixing herself into toe-socks and gloves to add elegance to her appearances. She twirls about the mirror twice more and pounded her chest. “Alright Lulu! We're gonna show Reid the prime time of his life!” She hopped on her bed and grabbed four boxes from beneath her pillow, how the boxes remained mostly unscratched was nothing short of a miracle.

[kai the pkk]

Reid: ( he changes into a nice formal black suit and dress shirt although their is a interesting insignia on the breast pocket as he fixes his tie) okay clothes check...hair...eh it's good enough right? Who am I kidding when it comes to looks shes out of my league...( he grabs his mothers locket as he takes several Ice dust crystals as he places them in his pocket this is really gonna set me back...( he walks out of his room and he leans on the back of the couch? calm down so what if you totally forgot its your me month anniversary and you managed to put together a date last minute...I'm an idiot

-------

Karin: allright then ( she picks a dress with a slit up the leg and decided on straps for the back as she sets up her hair accordingly the dress in the pick http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2 ... 5h9hl6.jpg) allright then i wonder...does this look good? ( once dot walks in she shys away embarassed) I look stupid right? Maybe I should pick a different one

------

Alex: so uh Mira do I need to meet anyone or mingle or..( he has trouble focusing) she really does look really good
