| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
A spacious room with its walls extravagantly decorated with intricate designs carved onto it. The columns that were erected near the walls served more on the aesthetics rather than functionality having hollow cores if one checked too closely., The ceiling five times as high that the usual establishments had abstract painting mainly colored with varying shades and tints of yellow and red. On one edge, a lone chair sits. The large wooden doors that lead into the throne room suddenly burst open, and quite loudly as well. A woman of noticeable pink hair stood there and dropped the lifeless body that she was holding by the neck onto the smooth tiled flooring. A small smirk was on her face as she steeped in and walked toward the throne across the room. Every step she took, as her heels clicked noisily against the floor, a large magic circle began to reveal itself. Stopping in front of the throne, the pink haired woman rummaged under her pristine white cloak as she turned around muttering inaudible words under her breath. Soon a few more people had followed her into the room. However, the magic had started to glow and soon emitted a strange light. As the light subsided, the pink haired woman disappeared. However, you are suddenly brought to the throne room. The sight you see upon opening your eyes were lifeless bodies scattered about. If curiosity would control your actions, you would notice that they didn't have faces but there were no traces of it getting burned. The patterns on the floor still remained, ever faintly glowing a pink light. This, however, might not be important. If you would listen closely, you may hear muffled sobs behind the throne. You are free to choose your next course of action. |

| ~ Angelica Hylth Angelica blinks. Rain eyes painted with steel gray scan her surroundings, not bothering with either the corpses or the other people present in the room. She is, afterall, the Lady of the Liliths - thus, the best at controlling their natural illusion potency. It isn't as if some mere humans will pose a problem; and the supernatural is something Angel didn't fear. Her keen ears pick up the sound of muffled sobs. Smoothing down her sapphire-colored sundress, she soundlessly makes her way across the room, ballet flats seeming to step on the air above the ground rather than the crass, over-decorated floor as she walks. Thanks to her speed, she is now next to the throne. Curious, she looks behind it, and unknown feelings pass through her orbs of storm as they are met with the sight of a crying child. Angelica imperceptibly opens her mouth to say something, but she closes it right after, red-painted lips pursing together thinly. |
 |
Even as the long haired, bearded man impaled the lifeless corpse to the floor, strangely, it did not bleed. It seemed more like wet paper when the icicle had started melting on it. Another woman emerged in, almost in time as the man did. It was evident that she cared not for the corpses as he did. Instead, with light and quickened steps, she approached the throne and peered behind it, seeing the child weeping. The child with noticeable shiny lavender colored hair that reached up to her a few centimeters above her shoulder looked up. Her eyes, that matched the color of her hair, were slightly swollen from crying. The child herself was wearing one piece and seemed around 9 or 10 years old. She clung somewhat on the silver haired woman's dress looking relieved. She glanced at the man before hiding herself from him, scared from his looks. "A-are you here to h-help me?" she nervously asked the woman when she looked up at her again. |

| ~ Angelica Hylth Instinctively, Angelica's hands clasp around the girl's elbows gently, steadying the child's mildly shaking form. She nods, smiling dimly. "I will, if you will tell me what is going on and what I can do." Then, noticing the girl's reaction to the man with some sort of ice manipulation abilities, she glances sideways at him. Would he hurt a child? Hm. She didn't know him, so she couldn't tell; but she knew one thing - no one abuses innocents in her presence, no matter their race, religion or origins. |
|
| x X The little girl timidly nodded her head as he grip on the woman's clothes didn't loosen at all. She cautiously glanced up at the man before looking down at the floor again. "Their hearts has been stolen," she said, pointing at the lifeless entities lying on the ground. "Please help me get them back. I can't do it... so I need your help." The girl rubbed her eyes to prevent another tear from falling. |

| ~ Angelica Hylth Angelica tilts her head in a puppy fashion. Was he here, Jack would have mocked her for it; luckily, the nuisance was probably busy remembering heated moments with- Not that again, the vampire scolds herself. Thoughts are a strange thing. She gazes at the child, not quite understanding what she means; "Who stole their hearts? And how? I see no gash, so it surely isn't the case of them being carved out." she questions softly, voicing her thoughts in a curious manner. She blinks, waiting for a response, mildly wondering if perhaps she should have put the matters differently - in a less descriptive manner. Old habits die hard, don't they. |
|
| The child looked up again at them, her eyes slightly swollen from rubbing it. She gazed at the woman then at the man then back at the woman again before she finally spoke, her speech often broken by the jerking of her shoulders - an after effect from sobbing. "A-a really stro-ong w-witch. S-she barged int-to the c-castle." The child took a deep breath calming herself. After a few seconds, it seemed that the act was for naught. Nonetheless, she continued. "S-she s-stole t-their h-hearts, their so-souls." She took another breath and this time she spoke without the hiccups. "The way to stop it is..." "To tie one person to another." The little girl looked up to the driection right of the throne. Another woman, whose current appearance made her look like a ghost than a human, emerged from the small opening, just enough for one person to pass. As she walked towards them, she tied her long wispy jet black hair to each side revealing her childish looking face that was once covered by it. Her attire a white guard suit with tassels decorating it and epaulets on her shoulders. The child upon her arrival looked estatic, while the latter's expression remained stoic on the other hand. Clearing her throat as she walked over to their direction, she continued the explanation. "Soulmates, as they are called, refers to people who are destined to meet." She stopped short in between the man and the woman and held her hand out. Opening her palms, one revealed a short, thin, ribbon-like object and on the other an item that resembled a watch. Glancing once at each person, she looked at her own palm and raised the item slightly as she explained. "This red string is used to tie people together. This can be stretched to an infinite length and cut to separate. However, if it connects a person to the wrong one... things could get messy." She paused giving them time to take in what she just said before proceeding. "This watch, a time keeper, has five hands. Each hand represents the number of times you can turn back time. You will set at which time you wish to return to in advance, a save point per se, for instances that a mistake has been made." She closed her palms and placed her hands behind her back. A small pause, in which she thought was essential for the idea to be completely understood, before she gestured at the direction across her. A mirror-like space was set. The little girl who had stood beside it tapped its surface lightly, sending ripples and eventually changing the scene it showed. Instead of their reflection, an image of a steel gates and a wall emerged in the veiw. It was clearly day, from how bright it was and several pink petals fell to the ground at a rate of 5 centimeters per second. Without giving them a chance to say anything, she spoke. "You will each be given a string." She held out her arms and opened her palms to each of them. "But the time keeper will be in my care. The mission is to connect as many soulmates as you can and will end when the 5 saves are used up or when all the connections has been made." Another pause, for her to take a deep breath, and spoke again. "I am accompanying you as your guide. Any questions before we proceed?" |
| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
| ~ Angelica Hylth Angelica blinked, and then blinked again. She accepted the string, then looked at the two females. She let her sharp, pearl-white fangs show for a second, as she smiled at them. "A few..." she responded, after being served a crazy story about witches and stolen souls. Being a vampire, who pretty much had the native capability of seducing and thus stealing, somewhat, the hearts of men and women alike, it didn't seem that impossible to believe. However... "How will we know who is a soulmate to who? How can we know you are trustworthy? And more importantly, I must say I cannot walk in broad daylight." she quietly asked and informed, looking at the child, then at the new woman in guard clothes, and then back to the child. Her tone was soft, and as weird as the situation was, Angelica understood three things; she was clearly in a different world, the girl was surely something akin to a Cupid, and she needed help. She also understood she was quite insane for accepting silently to help out, but that was old news - considering she married a Lycan while being a Nosferatu. Jack would definitely laugh his ass off, she decided, and almost smiled at the thought of kicking his shins to shut him up. |

| The woman in military closed her eyes and crossed her arms as she listened to the woman's concerns. She nodded her head on the first question, seeing as how she had forgotten to explain that part. She was a little troubled at the second question and finally opened her eyes and turned to the little girl after the third. Still, the dark haired woman answered her questions in the same order that she asked. "We cannot really tell who is a soulmate to who until only after the red lace is tied to their pinky finger which will glow slightly when it is correct." The military woman paused slightly, closed her eyes and furrowed her brows before opening them again. "This is a really tedious job as the only way to do it is to befriend the targets. Even I do not know of the outcome, but you may seek me for advice." The black haired woman paused to catch her breath before she continued. "It would be wiser to trust, as your safety and knowledge for this task would be provided." Looking at the sinister looking man, she thought it was best to answer his question at this time. "While I do not know what will be your motivation, there is a reward which is determined by the how many pairs had been connected, correctly." Walking over to where the child stood, the younger gave a small amulet to the older one. walking back to the lady, she handed the item. "This may temporarily shield you against the sunlight, as long as you carry it around you." Taking a step back so she would have an equal view of the two, she tilted her head slightly before speaking. "Anymore questions?" |

| ~ Angelica Hylth Angelica nodded thoughtfully. She accepted the amulet with a smile, placing it around her neck and tying the ribbon at the back into a bow. Befriend the humans, she says. Well, that is easy when you're an illusionist and a charmer. The Madame grins sightly. "No, I don't have any other question to ask." she announces softly, looking from the guard to the child and giving a friendly smile. Then, she looks at the rugged man. "Although my to-be companion seems slightly skeptical at the prospect of fulfilling your request." |
|
| Unsmiling, the black haired woman nodded her head at the two before turning around to face the little girl. The latter spoke in a different language, sounding as if she was reiterating instructions. The woman looked at them once more before walking over next to the throne. "We will also guarantee your safe return when this mission is over," the dark haired woman spoke as she turned around and gesture for them to come closer. Behind the throne was a mirror-like object in which it showed not their reflection. Beyond was an room filled with stacks of papers on tables formed neatly. The windows hinted that the sun was just about to rise. The place seemed unable to match the grandeur of the palace. "Now, follow or stay. It will be your own choice." And with that, she stepped forward and went into the place beyond the mirror. |
| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
| ~ Angelica Hylth The vampire followed after the strange man, a step behind, then at his side, then before him. She begun to hum an old tune from the days in Babylon, wincing unseen at the lack of roughness her voice should have had to do it correctly. Her gray, rainy eyes were dulled out even more than usually; hiding her thoughts in a figurative pocket. Although the whimsical Lady wouldn't admit it, she was unnerved. But then again, adventures that made your flesh be ghosted with goosebumps were always the best. She let the man pass first into the chamber beyond the mirror, not trusting what she would be met with. She wanted to help the child, she really did - but monsters and beasts tend to conceal behind innocent faces. You can never be too cautious. As he passed safely through the glass, Angelica followed his example, the tune she hummed dying on her lips. |
|
| There was nothing dramatic in the transportation from the heavily decorated throne room to the place beyond the mirror. It was simply as if one had just simply walked through a doorway. Glancing back at the mirror, it merely showed the reflection on the room as if it hadn't served as a gateway from one world to another. The woman was once clad in a military uniform was now dressed in a lab coat over a matching pair of plain blouse and slacks. Fixing her thin rimmed glasses, she did a quick scan of the room and sighed in relief that they had arrived as planned - early in the moning where the place would still be deserted. Turning around, she nodded her head as the two had followed behind her despite giving them a chance to stay back. There was a change in them, however. Their physical appearance had been turned back to the time when they were in their teens - 16 years old, as her instructions specified. They were dressed in matching uniforms - pristine white upper, sky blue slacks and skirt with the same colored necktie. Before they could voice any complaints, she took the opportunity to explain their situation. "This place is from a separate dimension from which the throne room exists. Familiar or not it maybe to you, I have no idea, but it is essential that we adapt to this world standards. To that effect, your physical appearance have been adjusted to maximize your reach to our targets, the students of this school, in which you two are going to be a part of them." She paused to look around, keeping alert for anyone who might enter the room all of a sudden. A few papers on some tables sounded as a soft gust of air that breezed through from the slightly opened window, opposite from where they were standing. She glanced up at the wall clock before turning her attention back to them. "Even with that, your current capabilities — mental and physical — are not changed." She took a deep breath and waited for their reaction. |
| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
| Angelica felt...odd. And sleepy. And then she remembered why, exactly. Well, shit. She twirled on her heels, glancing at her reflection in the mirror behind them - that was a gateway mere seconds ago. She found a face she forgotten she used to posses staring back at her. Long black hair and nearly Grecian skin coupled with bright sapphire eyes composed her expressionless reflection. The vampire pouted, before closing her eyes. Her image morphed into a more youthful version of her usual appearance - she kept her eyes colored blue, however. She twirled again, considering keeping the skirt once she was free to go home. She listened to her companion speak, and bit back a giggle. Angelica peered at the woman who was to serve as a guide. "Teenagers? We have to help teenagers with love problems? That's..." |
|
| "Simply put, you are going to be match making," she replied with a small nod of her head. The woman heaved a soft sigh, wondering if the two were actually willing to go along with the plan despite the oddity of their circumstance or they were simply doing it because there was no other choice presented. Even with their apparent display to cooperate, she wasn't entirely sure if she could trust them completely. Nonetheless, she continued. "First things first. This is Asobi Academy, and I am working as a biology teacher here. I am—" The woman was cut off by the loud bang of the door opening. She quickly spun around, just in time before a female student had dashed through and crashed into her. "Miss Frei! You're back!" the student squealed, as she hugged the teacher. Another woman clad in the same white coat stood by the door accompanied by a middle aged man wearing glasses. The woman brushed her cream colored hair aside as she shot Frei an apologetic look while the man put on a pleasant smile, his eyes becoming mere slits. "She was persistent to know when you'd be back," the other woman explained. The three noticed the two new students and smiled as if in welcome. It was the man who first spoke up. "New students when the year's almost over? I guess unexpected things always happen, huh?" "Don't make it sound like it strange things always happen!" "It doesn't?!" "I'm Xin Fu! Nice to meet you!" the student greeted the other two with much enthusiasm as she detached herself from Frei. "Would you like a tour around the school?" |
| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
| Angelica laughed at the notion. It wouldn't be the first or the last time she found herself in such a situation - the gods knew how many times she had been put in such a situation. But...she wasn't sure how well exactly will she do. The following commotion after the woman had attempted (and failed to finish) an introduction made the vampire blink in surprise. Xin Fu... she rolled the name around her head. Was it a multi-cultural academy? Did everyone have Asian names? She just died to know! She smiled, unsurely, at the female student. She bowed in greeting to the trio, almost fully, from the waist. "Pleased to meet you. A tour would be nice..." |
|
| The delight was written clearly on Xin Fu's face as the new students obliged to her suggestion. She looked up at the biology teacher as if asking her permission to take the two out of the faculty office, in which the latter merely gave small smile. "I am Miss Friederike or Miss Frei, whichever is more convenient to you," she continued from where she left off from earlier. She turned sideways slightly and gestured at the other two. "She is Miss Aoi, school nurse and Mr. Ralph, history teacher and your class adviser." As their names were introduced, the woman gave a small bow and the man waved his hand. Frei just hoped they understood how a class works. She had no idea where they had come from, and sure enough, they couldn't continue their discussion from earlier in front of all the others there. Still, she continued to speak as if these thoughts were not bothering her. "Luckily, today is the start that everyone is preparing for the festival so classes are suspended to let the students practice or make their props and such. I suppose Xin would explain it in detail. If you ever need me, I will be here or at the biology room." "Shouldn't their questions be addressed to me instead because I'm their class adviser?" "Don't be silly! They met Frei first so they're inclined to trust her more than you!" "Shall we go now? Shall we? Shall we?" |
| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
| Angelica's keen eyes scanned the teacher duo with hidden interest. She sniffed the air, unnoticeable, tasting and memorizing their scents. Inwards, she grinned largely at the harmonization that existed between the man's distinct, forest smell and the woman's more floral, reserved one. They completed eachother. Maybe I can matchmake these two, too. Her eyes lingered for a second. They'd look good together. Playing the shy card, she nodded her agreement to her impromptu companion's suggestion. The cheerful disposition of the girl greatly contrasted to most people she knew. The vampire wondered briefly if the girl suffered from any sort of ADHD or if she ate too much sugar. |
|
| "Oh, oh! Great! Let's go!' Xin exclaimed when the two had finally agreed to go with her. Frei glanced up at the wall clock. She noted that it was about time that most students are arriving at school. In half an hour, homeroom would start and the they needed to be in class by that time. Before she could tell them, Ralph had spoke up first. "Not so fast Xin. They have to be at my class when the bell rings. They have to be introduced to their new classmates, then you can take them for another tour." With a quick salute, the energetic girl responded, "Aye, aye, sir!" Xin headed towards the door in a half-walj, half-jog pace. Before disappeaeing beyond the doorway, she gestured at the two to follow her. "Have fun on the tour!" Aoi added. At the hallway, Xin was whistling nonchalantly while wondering which route they would take. Having an idea on how to decide, she walked to the center of the hall, did a spin and a small leap. "Ha! This way it is!" she exclaimed and looked back at the two new students. "Come, come. Oh, and I haven't gotten your names yet." |
| What makes you really feel secure is knowing that somebody more pathetic than yourself exists out there. |
| Angelica silently nodded her head to the teacher, to the nurse and to their guide, her now-sapphire eyes lingering on the latter with a silent promise that the discussion had yet to be over, and then exited the large room. She followed behind the female student that had offered herself as a tour guide around the place. Eyes blinking owlishly, she took in her surroundings, absorbing and doing her best to memorize even the smallest, unimportant details. Her steps halted when the hyperactive girl displayed an unusual method of picking which direction to go to. The snow-haired lady held back a chuckle. "My name is Angelica Hylth. It is a pleasure to meet you, miss Fu." |
|
| "Oh! Pretty name! Nice to meet you, Angelica," Xin energetically responded. "Just call me Xin." Despite her rather enthusiastic attitude, the tour guide walked in a rather normal pace, intertwining her fingers behind her. She often glanced around as they walked, staring at the white-washed walls but her attention mostly wandered on the view outside the window where they were overlooking the school entrance grounds. From the gates, a wide brick walkway designed with the school's logo could be viewed clearly from the second floor. Students were coming in, some in pairs, some in groups and some are walking alone. On each side of the walkway were small parks, evidently well maintained. Xin waited for the other transferee to answer, yet his self introduction never came. She concluded that he was simply being shy, and smiled to herself. Just as she was about to speak up again, music could be faintly heard. Quickly distracted, the tour guide went to the nearest door, a few steps away from where they had been. "This is the 2nd music room," she spoke to the two. "I'm going to see who's playing." Without thinking that she could disturb anyone who was inside, she opened the door leading to a small room enough to fit a grand piano and a dozen people. However, at this particular time only the one playing the instrument was occupying it. He had glanced at their direction for a second but continued to play. "Andy!" the tour guide called and clapped her hands as soon as the pianist finished playing. "Awesome as always!" "Xin," he grinned. "Full of energy as usual. New friends?" Andy stood up from the grand piano and smiled at the two new faces. He waved his hand at them, while the other one was resting on the piano keys. With a glance, Xin read "Pathetique" from the music sheet on the piano. "I'm Andrei," he introduced himself as he stopped waving and placed his hand on Xin's head. He grinned widely at The tour guide as he ruffled her ivory colored hair before looking up at the two again. "I'm guessing that Xin is taking you to see the school facilities?" |
