Estas grinned. "Of course," he declared confidently. He made a sweeping bow, taking his hat off and pointing it in a direction. After the bow, the teacher grinned and put the hat back on. "Follow me!" Estas began walking, and a wall slammed into existence in front of him. "Oof!" That was not graceful, Estas thought as he pictured his red nose. I know the room is this way. Now, why is this wall here?

Vera laughed as he ran into the wall, unable to help herself. It had been so perfect though! "You're the epitome of grace, aren't you? Surely there's another way around, or if we came back here later the wall wouldn't be here, possibly?" she asked, composing herself but unable to banish the smile.

ISAAC armine Out of everything you could have done...
I swear it, I'll kill that man... - Isaac, Estas, and Vera
(May I cut in?)
"My lady, I do believe that there are other issues to attend to as far as this wall goes. I've been wandering for a little while now and they just seem to keep changing. Though I must admit that I'm impressed with how well you are taking randomly appearing walls..." Isaac mused as he walked up behind them, cane tapping very lightly the whole way. He had lucky came upon them from behind, he had just started to run with the use of his cane a minute before. He didn't want to reveal that he was armed at all times yet, though the woman didn't seem to mind showing off.
He was in a surprising good mood for what his room had had in store. Armand certainly had it out for him. A bucket of stones, smallish ones thankfully, a slick bed sheet, and worst of all, some random dog that appeared to have been there for a few days. He cleaned nothing and left his bags outside the room. The dog would probably be kept if it was still there when Isaac got back.
"I'm betting it's a puzzle. Not sure, and it doesn't seem much like what Armand has ever let me see in him, but if he has to run the Academy it seems plausible..." Isaac could only hope things would work out. Wouldn't want to have to hunt down Armand as a ghost or something to get vengeance.
(Sorry I'm late.)

((Whee! Here to join the party!))
Suddenly, Lise tumbled in from the ceiling, landing in a heap on the floor between the other three teachers. I'm going to kill Armand!!!! Lise thought as she painfully got up from the floor. "What does pranks have to do with this school anyway!" Lise yelled.
"Oh, umm..." Lise's face went red when she noticed everyone else. "Erm, hehe? ... sorry, the room's a little hard to find..."

Estas didn't react to Vera's snide comment, but he did mutter "Not just walls appearing out of nowhere, but people too" when he noticed Lise tumbling from the ceiling. The mythology teacher did have a point there. For a school, Estas felt that this much pranking was unhealthy, and even if there would be pranking, it would involve students, not so much teachers. Obviously, Armand had to be at the center of the pranks. There was no one else that he could think of, Estas reasoned. Right?
"Hmm... puzzle? I wonder..." Estas tried to push the wall. "Let's try this!" Without the wall in the way, Estas swore he knew how to get to the conference room. For all he knew, Armand was probably laughing at them right now.

"Are any of the stones in it loose? Or sticking out or poking in or anything like that?" Vera asked, ignoring any other comments made to her. She honestly didn't care, not yet anyway. They'd get over her bitchiness, especially if they somehow found out the reason for it. She didn't move close to the wall and Estas, but she did look it over closely, blue eyes searching for anything she'd suggested.

Ironically, Vera would be able to pick up the words "Estas is a loser" in the details of the wall. Maybe it hinted that any of Estas's actions would be useless. Upon closer inspection, a few blocks each had one of their names on them embedded in a sort of camouflaged design.
The wall didn't budge. "Dear me," the Angle muttered. "I don't know..." he said as he felt around for loose stones. Ridiculous. Estas had been a thief. If there were any loose stones, he'd find them. He'd made use of them in his past life after all. "An other ideas?"

Vera hid a smile at the message, then she moved closer and found her name on the block out of pure luck. "Press the brick with your name." she said, pressing the one with her own. She pointed out the other one she'd found, having seen it while looking before and now positive that the name was what she had seen.

Lise squinted and barely saw her name in the wall. She followed Vera's lead and placed her hand on the stone with her name and pushed. "Team building?"

ISAAC armine Out of everything you could have done...
Bloodlust - Isaac, Estas, Vera, and Lise
Isaac didn't miss a beat as Lise dropped in. He wasn't surprised very much anymore. He stood quietly as the other teachers searched the wall. He really didn't want to get too close to the others. He'd mostly be in the way.
"Team building is unlikely," Isaac said as he took a moment to find his own block. "Quite honestly I don't trust this at all." Isaac said as he moved. He pressed his stone with his cane after he stepped just behind Vera. He leaned heavily on his cane, so not to give himself away. Eventually they would learn, but again, he didn't want his secret revealed just yet.
"I apologize for my proximity Ms...." Isaac started, he was close enough to be uncomfortable, but not so close as to touch. There was a decent three inches between them, but still. Besides, Isaac knew none of these people. Isaac expected the floor to drop out, and he didn't want to stand immediately next to his stone. Though he knew Armand would likely have something in store for him.

Estas scoffed inwardly. How could he have missed it? Perhaps, he had been too close to the wall. He stepped back and was the last one to place his hand delicately on the stone with his name.... and the first to tumble through the wall the moment his finger touched the stone.
The stone wall, upon the four's teamwork, had now turned into confetti and was floating around the air, playfully nudging everyone and forming the sentence "Estas is a loser."
Estas was too busy getting himself dusted off to notice, but he now knew how to get to that room since the wall was out of the way.

Vera stumbled slightly as the wall vanished, but she covered it up gracefully and smiled inwardly at the sentence. She leaned idly against the side wall while waiting for the others and for Estas to finish obsessing over the dust on his clothes before he could lead them on.

Estas is a LOSER - Isaac, Estas, Vera, and Lise
Isaac wasn't incredibly surprised at the wall's eruption into confetti. Not what he expected, but much better and easier to cope with certainly. He chuckled as he fell a little in the direction of where his cane had been pointed. It wasn't much just to point the tip downward as he caught himself. As he gathered himself, he chuckled a little more.
"Apparently Armand has it out for you." Isaac said, he couldn't imagine that either woman was named Estas. "Shall we?" Isaac prompted, indicating that they should get moving before anything else Armand had set went off.

((Apologies, I seem to have hit writer's block.))
Estas ignored Isaac's comment, not realizing the confetti words. Armand did have something out for him, right from the beginning. How else had he gotten stuck with teaching literature in a world that he was obviously not familiar with? With a short huff and inward string of annoyance, Estas once again led the way. "Alright, enough with the tricks. This is the way, and I am quite sure of it.
After a bit of traveling, Estas led them into a room. The room was quaint, with a fireplace and a long table with many chairs, presumably enough for however number of teachers would be at this meeting.
The chair at the head of the table was tilted backwards and facing away from the doors. One could see the top of someone's head; reddish hair.
"Take a seat, teachers," a voice laughed merrily as the chair swung around to reveal the non too formal looking headmaster. "As Headmaster Armand Orion Parr, it is my erratic pleasure to welcome you to the one and only Nexus Academy as we begin together this wonderful year long staff orientation at this campus."

Lise caught her balance when the wall went away, and laughed at the confetti words, having no idea who it was. The man with the cane was not Estas unless he was making fun of himself. That left the other female and male.
We don't know each others names! So much for introductions...
Upon entering the room behind everyone else, Lise frowned. She could see Armand's all too familiar red hair and hear his annoying voice. She grabbed a book she had on her person and flung it at him when he swung aroud in that comfy looking chair.
