Acwel's ears twitched as he registered Muna's voice. Soft, quiet, controlled. And he registered Muna's hands - trembling. A defiant brat trying to rescue a loved one? He'd seen this pattern so many times before it was getting pretty damn old. Acwel was bored to death by the two-bit heroics some resorted to just to save a life that was more worthless than their own.
"The last group that came here," he reminded Muna, "ended up getting destroyed by said children. And the most idiotic one got herself murdered by the very child she was trying to help. We aren't leaving anything to chance."
(As Acwel spoke, the speed at which Luna and Sol was leaving End lessened a little. Anyone with sharp eyes might have noticed the flow had stopped completely as he dealt with Ziza and Ty.)
"If you're trying to get a rise out of me, kid, you'll have to try harder than that."

Goose.
Michael's smile only widened as a single student reacted. Neat! Leah hadn't been lying when she said there had been a Branded student! This was such a unique opportunity and Michael wasn't about to let it slip.
"Heeeeeey!" he shouting, waving his gun in the air. "You! Yeah, you know who you are! I'll show you mine if you show me yours! C'mon, hurry up!!"
Michael grinned underneath his mask and flicked off the safety (not that it a lot of difference) in anticipation. This was going to be soooooo much fun.

"Pigolem, stay still." Bambi murmured, and Chang jerked into stiffness. She hated to treat her brother like a golem, but Bambi wasn't risking anything. She touched the smooth clay of Chang's head momentarily, giving him a pat before straightening up and heading towards Michael.
"You don't need to be that loud," Bambi hissed, conscious of any eyes that were trailing after her as she approached Michael warily. "If...if you're looking for a fun fight, I can't give you one. You just want to kill me, right? Let's get this over with."

 [✿] Cαввαɢe Woodѕ_━━＂Eĸαтerιɴα＂ .. 1ѕт Yeαr .. xxx→→x "It would be nice if I could!" Cabbage agreed cheerfully, following after Rowan as he held onto Cabbage's sleeves. Cabbage took it upon himself to slip his hand into the other's palm, at least momentarily. His smile flattened away into a line for a flicker of a second, eyes showing something that seemed vaguely similar to displeasure. "But I don't really want to make friends with somebody who wants to hurt my friends." Cabbage muttered under his breath, voice lower and more serious.
With that being said, a smile filled up Cabbage's face -- the kind he wore when it was obvious he was unsure what other expression to make -- and he let go of Rowan's hand to wave an eager sleeve in the direction of Gisa. "Excuse me!!" Cabbage shouted, bounding over cheerfully. "I have something to say!"

「 That was odd. Muna was expecting Acwel to be a bit more easy to anger than this. What had Violet said to piss him off so hard? Something about...cowardice, right? God. Muna had a dirty feeling the situation would have been de ja vu if he and End hadn't managed to step in.
At least the other two were getting up. Muna's eyes flickered towards them, giving a quick warning look that clearly said get out of here before he refocused his attention on Acwel.
"Just admit you're scared," He goaded softly, releasing a huff of air that he hoped sounded less like a hitch and more like the sound somebody made while sneering. "The CEE isn't coming. Wouldn't it be in your interest to track them down? There has to be something stopping you."」

"Don't let him give you too much hope." Icarus warned Thane, mumbling a 'thanks' to Gil as he took a position. "Gil just has too much faith in us." He muttered, exhaling a quiet sigh as BB launched into the air. Icarus' attention flickered between the watch and the bird flitting about. Ashes jerked a little on his shoulder as the robot shot up into the sky.
When Icarus was sure nobody seemed too suspicious, his eyes trained on the watch. A window popped up, a live camera showing what was going on from BB's perspective. "This sphere of influence is really big," Icarus told the others lowly, watching the bird flit off over the groups of students and closer to the Tree. "It's pure guesswork, but they might think us too weak to bother divinitying out of here. Maybe there's no top to this thing. It's nothing but a stupid guess, obviously, but..."
Icarus sent BB towards the visible top edge of the sphere and hoped for the best...and the bird passed through.
"Oh," Icarus said mildly surprised. He sent the bird a bit more upwards, circling around closer to the forest before coming back again. He had no doubt that Tyme would have a firm grip on the stones in her -- their? Icarus had assumed female but whatever, it wasn't immediately obvious so he stuck with 'their' -- hands.
The fourth year fiddled with the controls on the watch for a moment before sending BB diving for the satchel on Tyme's pocket. The robot made a loud bird sound as it flashed right by their face, sharp beak glinting. ■ ■ ♕

The barrier around the school was gone. Marianne was immediately aware of it, and she sent a few emergency texts to her higher ups before hastening her pace. The edge of a sphere of influence was clear to her, and Marianne swore underneath her breath when her eyes caught on the groups of professors and students.
"Blood Pact members, Lor." Marianne warned, eyes catching on the black and red uniforms. "Looks like the entire bunch. Our first priority is the lives of the students and professors, so focus on that. I'll worry about the combat."
With that being said, Mari shoved two fingers into her mouth and blew an ear splitting whistle. She cracked her knuckles, feeling magic churn through her veins. She wasn't exactly running on an ample amount...Mari would just have to make every hit count. "Are we interrupting something?" She asked loudly, a cold smile flitting on her face as she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes. "I didn't realize there was a party going on, but while I'm here I might as well pound a few faces in. Who wants to be first?"

Babysitting the old man was kinda lame, but Tyme's hands were (literally) full dealing with the spheres, so they weren't complaining. It was a bit entertaining, actually, watching their teammates. Acwel was easier to rile up than usual (they all were) and Michael seemed to have set his sights on some fresh prey. They were surprised Leah wasn't getting in on any of this, but it was probably just a matter of time. It was pretty quiet up here, too. Just them, the Headmaster, who was dead silent, and a couple birds.
Tyme immediately decided it was no longer peaceful when one of the birds took a shot at them.
"Agh!" they shouted, stumbling backwards (though miraculously keeping their balance on the Oak) and taking a swipe at the bird with one of their fists. What the ********? Birds didn't just attack out of nowhere!
...On closer inspection, birds weren't so shiny and mechanical either, were they? What the hell was going on?

Gisa, loitering near the sphere, glanced over at Cabbage and Rowan as they approached. She raised one eyebrow; how was this kid still managing to smile in the current situation? They were either somewhat insane, or they wanted something, or they were putting on a brave face for the tiny redhead giving her a wary expression.
"Something to say?" she asked. "Very well. Out with i--"
A loud noise caught her attention. Specifically, a loud voice. Gisa turned to see... oh great. Her lip curled. The damn girlfriend. Probably better to confront her early and keep her occupied. Who was available? Gisa ran her eyes over the scene. Michael had found a target, one she was none too keen on taking him away from. Acwel was busy with a tangle of students. Tyme was... fighting a bird? And Thor hadn't come back from checking on the CEE yet. That left herself and... ah, perfect.
"Go deal with it," she called over, and then returned her attention to Cabbage and Rowan. "You were saying?"

Michael's smile didn't falter. If that was how she wanted to play it, that was fine. It was lame to kill someone right away anyway. "That's okay! We don't have to fight. I just wanted to talk to you anyway. It's so rare to find someone Branded outside the Pact." His eyes sparkled. "D'you use it often? Does it hurt when you do? What kinda magic can you do with it?" He tilted his head. "Hey, you're a half-dwarf, right? You guys must be hurting badly from the whole magic-sucking thing. How're ya holdin' up?"
Michael heard Marianne, but pshhhh. She could wait. If Gisa needed him to he could just shoot her in the foot again.

Oh, Leah was only too happy to oblige.
The woman rocketed into the air on a Divinity, did a sick 360, and stuck the landing a few yards from Marianne.
"Hiya, hairdresser!" she chirped. "How's the single life treatin' you?"

Thane gave Icarus a small smile as Gil and themselves shuffled by. "We haven't got much to do but hope, though.." They waited a moment before looking at Gil again, "Hey, I don't expect you to like sappy stuff, but seeing our situation, I thought it might be a nice time to say... You've been a really really good friend. I appreciate it."

Ty worked his jaw, thinking, and listened to what Muna was saying. It looked like it was working - it was catching Acwel's attention and not getting him thrown across the clearing.
"Scared?" he asked, feigning some shred of confidence. "Damn son, must feel like s**t knowing you five cant even manage to find the four ********' people you came here for."

Acwel narrowed his eyes at Muna (not that it really made any difference.) The brat really was trying to get himself killed, wasn't he? The CEE... they weren't coming, he knew it, they all knew it, this was a desperate gamble anyway...
Acwel's ears twitched at Ty's words and his temper flared. He swiveled on one foot, turning towards the two behind him, and swiped at the air. A wall of air that might as well have been solid rock slammed Ty into the sphere's wall with enough force to break bone.
"We were never looking for four people," he snarled in Ty's general direction. "Do you really believe we would have broken schedule for a few aristocrats that do nothing but plot how to make others' lives as miserable as possible? The CEE is trivial."
With another flick of the wrist, the area around Ziza and Ty began to drain of oxygen. Quickly.
"As is your life."

But there couldn't be, there shouldn't. Michael seemed more than ready to pull the trigger on his gun and Bambi was remembering all too well the day she spent in jail with the rest of her friends. She clenched and unclenched her hands, staring at Michael with disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Were they really going to do this?
"I think it's obvious that I would be holding up badly," Bambi started slowly, warily. "Which is why I don't think I'll be very interesting."
She wavered. The person in front of her was her enemy but she wavered anyways. The desire to have somebody to talk about the stuff with was always so heavy in her heart. Secrets were always hard to keep, especially when you had no one around that could relate.
"...It hurts," She admitted after a moment. "And just--just ice magic. I never really tried anything else."
This was a bad idea. This was just a stupid, ridiculous, horrible idea. Bambi hoped that Camille would be willing to take on Chang after she died. He would be happy with Baldwin around, for as long as Baldwin lasted.
