[ Field Class ] Ratman Stabbins, Esq. (page 6!)

[[Mistress Morbid]]

She tilted her head again, nuzzling against his small head gently. "Silly cat.." She sighed softly, a smile on her face none the less."I'm happy you came to see me. I just don't wanna force you into something you're uncomfortable with... Or uncomfortable to be around though." They still had so much to learn about one another. "Ya can hide in my pail if you things are getting a little to wet for you're liking. Kay?"

Branimir kept his distance, remaining toward the edge of the group that had caught his attention. Amber eyes scanned the group as he got more of a feel for those in the area. Well, this was quite the diverse grouping of... creatures.

Beasts, more like. His expression twisted into a sour sort of scowl at the prospect of being so near to the lesser creatures. As one of nobility, he should never have to mix with these uncivilized monsters. Even so, whatever this exercise was, it proved intriguing enough to hold the strigoi's attention.

Arms crossed, a finger trailed up to the wooden protrusion in his chest. Nail trailing along it thoughtfully, he stared at the others in the immediate area, wondering when, exactly, this event was to begin. Perhaps he could show the others how a true creature handled such things.

In the distance, an elderly ghost shuffles into view, a thick cloud of bats following close behind him. Each bat has at least one clawed foot latched onto a tiny section of a large canvas bag, and they drag it along with a determination rarely seen in a pet, let alone hundreds of pets. When the man reaches the middle of the group, he motions for the bats to drop the bag. He reaches inside, pulling out a bright orange and purple skateboard and shoving it into Spinar's arms. While he is distracted by that, the old ghost jams a matching helmet onto the boil's head, leaving it hanging off of a horn when it doesn't fit.

"The Rat Man has started a waaaaaaaaaar!" the Trick-or-Treater barks, his voice gruff and wavering. "This cannot stand! We're gonna get you trained up here today and you're gonna be so good at smackin' rats by the end that when you're on the front lines Stabbins ain't gonna know what hit 'im!"

Obviously, there's something you're missing here.

"Every one a' you scabs take a skateboard and helmet!" The bats reach for the bag in a collective mass, fluttering in perfect synchronization as they hold it open. Several of them are smiling and chirping encouragement, but most are stone-faced.

You may not have any idea what's going on, but... skateboards!

Rojo didn't have much use for the hot springs or the mountain pass today, which made his presence here all the more strange. He approached the gathered students simply because they were gathered at first, but it only took a moment for him to register the reason why they were all here. That wall was very weird.

The skeleton moved past the group, running bony fingers over the sign before turning to look over his shoulder at Alpinely. He recognized her, and the ghoul received a wide grin. It was the same grin anyone else would have received, but no one had to know that.

"This school is always very interesting!" he said as he stared at the formerly ranting ghost. "I have never used a skateboard before! I guess this is a good lesson!"

"Me too," Alpinely likewise beamed as she responded to the boil she then recognized. Her hands moved up to frame her face between where they hovered as she waved them both to him immediately before proceeding to say, "I'm looking forward to working with one. Looks like it's time to use skateboards to win a war!" At her latter exclamation, she formed fists with both her palms and raised them up exuberantly in synchronized fist pumps into the air.

As the group of bats presented him with the bag, Danirate wondered whether the stone-faced bats or even the encouraging ones new better of what was going on right now. His own expressions not at all being so volatile to change, the vampire boil let the query that crossed his thoughts pass with little mind.

Pacha looked at his friends and boil friend in confusion, skateboard? This sounded like it was going to be a very bad class... or at least a potentially painful one.

He brushed Merry and Llyr with his wings, wide eyed, then leaned into Llyr for a moment before he took a board.

"... Oh dear." He said softly.

Leave it to the underclass to turn a perfectly serious training regimen into something so frivolous. Eying the wheeled contraptions, he approached the lot of them and grabbed one of the less-than-colorful pieces. If he had to use these things, he would do what he could with the simplest of items.

This would certainly be quite a change from his usual ventures, but the strigoi was sure he could face anything these others could throw at him.

As Emily floated about the grounds of the school wondering what type of book to get next she came across a group of her peers and wonder what was going on. As she moved closer she saw sign about the Battle, but what battle? This was the first she had heard of it. She turned around to see who was talking out loud about war, rats and skateboards. The ghoul was met with the sight of an old ghost, she wasn't sure about what he was going on about but OoooOOo! Skateboards!

As she went to pick out a board for herself she noticed a vampire boil, the very one that stood her up after the bidding was over and she had won a slave date. She eyed him, her face growing a little darker with a small amount of anger.

As the elderly ghost shuffled into view along with the thick cloud of bats an elegant brow rose. Curiosity peeked at the large canvas bag, enough to keep him in place as the ghost made it to middle of the group. Smothering his own amusement, at being the first singled out, he gave a soft sigh as a bright orange and purple skateboard was shoved into his arms. While they weren't the most flattering color combinations for his skin, the frost demon could deal, at least until the helmet was jammed haphazardly onto his head, meeting a horn on a testy snort.

"Is that it then?" Spinar question, were they just here to be part of whatever war this was, all but ignoring the rest of the students around him in favor of gathering more information, ego wouldn't allow him to hold tongue like the rest, nor a tease back at the batty ghost, "so then, are we to ride these, or is this more our armor for battle, a bat to bat rats?" The skateboard was held out, pointed at Batty as long blue claws clicked against the top. While he waited for response his long barbed tail swung up to push the helmet forward on his head, where it was rest just over the top of his horns. Creating a shadow to further pronounce the smirk he wore, one that read clearly 'whats in this for me?'

"Curious also, what did The Rat do, aside from start a war? " The last question came with a hint amusement, and a nickname to help stir the ill feelings sensed, but he didn't expect an answer or a straight one.

"It always...turns out to be," he snorted softly but smiled for the teasing. A glance down to injured ankle and the smile flickered a little, he really hoped Jory would just stick to their workouts to be honest. But he couldn't turn him down, which meant helping regardless of if Jory wanted. Unless the class really didn't permit for it, then they'd be screwed. When the apparent host appeared the monster boil snorted low and moved to get him a board, waiting of course to help his boilfriend to the bag as well. He really hoped they wouldn't have to ride these things.

Hitting rats with them was one thing, but he couldn't even spin in a circle on his own two feet properly much less balance on this thing.

As he waited for the next odd set of instructions, Danirate eventually ended up noticing he was being watched and his gaze, too, held as familiarity slowly dawned on him. However, said familiarity still did not register evidently on his characteristically near unchanging expression. But, in fact, not only were words slow to form into any coherent sentences in his mind, there was also a part of him that realized that perhaps he should not again unearth details of a time he too did not consider worth recalling in comparison to other experiences.

Long story short, he had bailed on the prank played on him when he found a chance to slip away and shortly after he had, he was somehow presented with and seized the opportunity for pay back, a prank for a prank. The pranksters themselves called it even at this point, but repercussions to that prank war wouldn't be unheard of.

Well, an apology was definitely an option, but a direct one escaped him at least at the moment while an indirect one, as vastly indirect as it could be, he could currently offer and decided on in the present instance. A hint of apology briefly crossed his features as his smile widened slightly at the ghoul before his expression returned to its previous calm as he went on to address her. "Do you think we're actually going to be told to ride these skateboards?" He lifted his helmet with the question, the small bit of amusement in his tone reflected in an equally small portion in his eyes while he took a second to turn the helmet over in his grasp in momentary examination of it before watching for her reaction. Also for now, he decided to keep to himself the fact that he had never before rode a skateboard before this point.

A war? Yes, it seemed that's what the weird old ghost was going on about. Rojo had certainly been paying attention when he had read the sign, but he hadn't assumed there would be anything as life-threatening as all that around here even so. He nodded sharply, mentally meeting his impending doom. "We will beat this Rat Man with the power of wheels!"

Moving away from Alpinely's side for a moment, he dug through the bag and chose an orange and black skateboard and helmet, removing his hat to replace it with his new protective headgear. He rejoined the ghoul soon after, his hat temporarily forgotten as it fluttered to the ground on the way past a particularly standoffish strigoi. He held out his newly freed hand to Alpinely.

"I am Rojo. We have met before, I know, but the elections were very hectic!" It was his way of saying he couldn't recall her name. He hoped she didn't mind.

Alpinely had in fact never tried skateboarding before today but she had seen others handle and maneuver them. Once equipped, she placed her assigned skateboard on the ground and one of her feet on top of it, rolling it beneath her foot back and forth at that spot it occupied to test it out a little. Then when she was given the boil's offered handshake, she plopped her helmet on her head and transitioned to his shaking hand with both of her own energetically, "It's spooktacular to meet you again, Rojo! The elections were indeed! I'm Alpinely, Ali in short." When her skateboard began rolling her away in her zeal, she moved to reign herself back to her usual position thus far. Her helmet had also been wobbling and she just barely caught it as she began to slip off of her. "Whoops," she chuckled as she secured her helmet this time and regained her balance with multiple hops on one foot and her other still rolling with and attempting to control her skateboard.
