Bo continued to hold onto her, but still he was listening to the words of the only father figure he and his sister had ever had. Something bad was going to happen to this school, and he had a bad feeling this was related to Aurora being upset. "Don't worry Aurora, Musica will fix this. He always fixes things." He then stole a glance and thought to himself. "Can he fix it this time too?"

Arielle felt like some higher being was truly going out of their way to be cruel to her. She stared at Musica, disbelief apparent on her face, but... His words, however much she wished to deny it, rang perfectly true. He was not lying, and she knew it. Arielle was, for the first time in her career as Headmistress, feeling completely at a loss for what to do. Part of her was indescribably angry--angry at herself for letting this happen, angry at the students involved for not telling her, angry at life for happening this way--and part of her wanted to just break down, right there. Just break down and cry. She had never wanted this. She had thought that her school was going to be the one safe haven... and then this had happened.
There were other emotions, too, running rampant, and in all the chaos... she simply sat, stunned. She was horrible at dealing with emotions. Rarely could she find words for these situations. That was why she'd become a teacher--she'd expected that she wouldn't have to deal with this sort of thing! Her eyes clouded over and she held her forehead tightly with one hand.
She didn't know who was to blame for all this mess. All she knew was that she would make sure it was cleaned up soon--as soon as she could deal with it, it would be cleaned. Her eyes searched the room momentarily, and she downed the potion, removing her hand from her forehead.
"...Where is Aphrodite now?" She would start with that.
She was vaguely surprised that Evermore hadn't been involved, though it didn't register with her.

"...I hope so," Aurora whispered. She hoped so, truly did, but she wasn't sure that Musica--demi-god or not--would be able to fix this. There was too much, she thought. He would need help. She didn't know everything, but Altan seemed to have some sort of sixth sense (which she lacked, for the most part), and he inisted that there was more to all this mess than what they knew.
She had a sinking feeling that very little of it was good.

Ever and Raven hadn't had much of an appetite after they had thought about making the dollhouse. Ever had quickly put away her food and had raced up the stairs to the third floor with Raven flittering quickly behind her.
They were now on the floor of Ever, and Raven's, room with a soft pink dollhouse in front of them. It had many skylights so that the inside of the dollhouse didn't look dark like most did. She had also been conjuring little pieces of furniture to place where Raven wanted. Right now, she had a fridge.
"Do you think we can actually get it working, Ever? I mean, I don't even know what I'd put in there, but..."
Ever finished Raven's thought, having done that quite a bit already. She and Raven seemed to be really bonding right now.
"...it'd still be cool to have it running, right?! I know what you mean! Well, I already have a battery attached to the back of it, which runs a cooler on the inside. I also have a charger cable attached to the battery so that if it dies, the charger will kick on and recharge the battery while also keeping anything in the fridge cool."
Raven looked at Ever in complete amazement, not that Ever would be able to see that. But she seemed to just sense the look Raven was giving her. So, she chuckled softly and shook her head.
"No, I'm not an electrician by any means. I just saw it in my head and..."
She shrugged and held up the tiny fridge with a cord coming from it.
"...then it appeared. It's pretty freaking awesome!"
Raven went inside the 'kitchen' area on the first floor and stood close to the spot where she wanted the fridge to go, just as she had with the other furniture Ever had placed for her.
Ever leaned in to carefully place the fridge. Then, she snaked the cable from the fridge out of a nearby window. She'd plug it in whenever she put the dollhouse in its permanent location.

"Rule two," Nessa said waspishly, "I may be bound to you, and I'll treat you with respect, but you need to respect my visions. I'm telling you to hurry up. We need everyone back at school, ASAP. Please try and cut it down from a half-hour... thank you," she said, blinking away the sun-spots in her visions. "Let's go!" Nessa pleaded with Aphrodite.

{{AMAZING posting you three, especially Secret and Alb for carrying this scene tonight! I am really impressed!}}
Hades looked at Vanessa for a few moments, considering her 'request', though it wasn't really a request at all. However, Hades admired her spunk and confidence. A Prophetess needed that, and he was amazed to find it in someone so young.
He nodded to Vanessa and small smile appeared on his face, though he tried to hide it.
"As you wish, Prophetess. Your rule is a just one."
With that said, Hades turned and went back to his quarters to begin the resurrection process. He would have it done in approximately 15 minutes.

((Ah, Rrine? Unless Hades is magically insideof Bai Ching borders, even Aphrodite wouldn't be able to penetrate Arielle's border without somehow getting her permission. Of course, when Aph tries, Arielle will know and be able to give permission. So, ah, yeah.))

At this Musica made a face of utter revolt and spite. He wanted his daughter back, and thinking of that damned Goddess reminded him too much of the situation. "She's wisked my daughter away from me. Frankly I don't appreciate the way she did so either."
Bo couldn't help but still believe in Mr. Brandt, there was nothing he could never do. So why not now? "Of course he can, he's Mr. Brandt. There's nothing he can't fix." He silently prayed to Buddha, despite his not being religious. They needed all the help they can get.
Sammy was still shivering. And she was curious about the rush Nessie was in. Yeah it was creepy down here, but what was going to happen if they didn't? "Nessie, what's wrong? What's gonna happen?"

Aurora smiled rather sadly at Bo's seemingly endless confidence in the demigod. She pulled back a bit to look at him, just because, and on impulse, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek to thank him for his comfort. After that, though, she hid herself away by pulling him close again--then, however, it was partially because of slight embarrassment, and a wish to hide the pink tinge that had overtaken her cheeks. "...Thank you, Bo," she said, quiet still.

(EDIT: Sorry! Better?)
Aphrodite looked down at her girls. "Yes... we'll go. I have a feeling he's coming for revenge. Let's go. Thank you many times over, Uncle." With that, Aphrodite made another rip in the air. This one, however, quickly closed up. Frowning, she tried again. She was denied. Reaching out to Arielle, she called to her: 'Arielle, it is Aphrodite... Or rather, Aphira. Whichever. I need access. I have Nessa and Sam with me... thank you.'

((Yeah, that works! Thank you for fixing it biggrin ))
Arielle frowned, feeling someone try to get through her barrier not once, but twice. So early...? Both times took energy from her, as if she'd just walked for a city block. This was someone very powerful. Her answer was received quickly, and it seemed to be an accompanying explaination to what Musica had told her. She allowed permission for Aphrodite, Vanessa (who she realized belatedly that she had never actually met), and Samantha (who she was also unfamiliar with). Due to the nature of the spell, the three were automatically transported to the infirmary. Whether that had been their destination or not didn't matter to Arielle. That was how the spell worked: since Arielle was here, so were they now.

"We're back!" Aphrodite said, nudging Sam nearer to Musica. "Go to your dad... he looks about ready to rip my head off. Sheesh! She's here, isn't she?" she quipped. "We also have another little ray of sunshine on her way. You're quite familiar with her, Musica, and I think she'll want to give you a piece of her mind when she gets here. Oh, and Arielle? My Uncle might want to get through. He has a... ah, distinctive aura. Can't miss him!"

Musica stood up abruptly as soon as he saw his daughter return. She was safe and sound, thank Asgard! "Sammy! Your all right." His eyes, despite being weak, were filled with joy. He stepped over quickly to pick up his small daughter and turn around quickly, hugging her tightly. Sammy hugged him back desperately, then whispered something in his ear. "Daddy, Ari's coming back!"
Bo smiled when Aurora burrowed herself against him, though he was hiding his own rosy cheeks as well. Then Bo heard it, Musica had kids? Bo couldn't help the tiny twang of jealousy, that someone else could be his actual biological child and not him and Luli.

Arielle simply nodded. She didn't know (or really care at the moment) who Aphrodite's mysterious 'uncle' was. She just waited for this all to make se--wait.
Aphrodite? Sinc--Aphira DiTe. She felt... so stupid. She couldn't remember a time that she had been so out-of-tune with the goings-on in her own school. It was ridiculous.
She watched Musica, slightly jealous of how he had a daughter who was biologically related to him. She had always wanted to have her own true children, but she just didn't care for an actual relationship. As such, she treated all the girls in her school like her own.
