To get a better and more easy look, Jericho went on to shift back into his humanoid form. Once he was back to that state, he lifted up the shoebox to carry it again. He was rather curious as to the process here, and he really hoped it wasn't too much like how a spider would produce silk. Else it could be rather... awkward to witness.
Luckily it wasn't, as he watched her pull her fingers away from one another. It wasn't easy to see, even for his keen eyesight, but there was the thin thread there alright. He had heard about how strong spider silk was for its size, so he found it pretty impressive that she could just produce it like that.
"Hm? Oh," he started before fiddling into his pocket. A moment later, he produce a normal d20 to show her, "I basically summon one of these in the air to hurl at a target like some fiery meteor. Though.. it's more like the size of a baseball than this."

She suddenly felt a lot less dragon to lean on - luckily, she wasn't leaning back too much, which saved her from falling over backwards. Not exactly processing things yet (or rather, the fact that the dragon is now a dragon who is more like a boil), she stood up and dusted her dress off before moving over to Jericho, staring at the die in his hand.
"Is it supposed to have... That many sides?" She blinked, tilting her head as her gaze lingered around the d20 before looking up; she had only seen the 'standard' 6-sided die before. her eyes widened slightly before she laughed, "Wow, I don't envy whoever's on the other side of that." Fire and a big die? Sounds like a fireball to her - and she had bad experience with those.

"Yeah. It's a dice used in a lot of table-top games like Dungeons and Humans. There's also hundred-sided-dice as well," he said with a grin. Jericho owned a handful of those himself. He rarely used them, but they were cool to have around.
"I've really only been able to use it against one person so far... That Reaper guy so I don't know how effective it really is yet. I mean I've practiced on some targets and stuff before but that's not really the same as using it in battle," he frowned. Of course the one time he really pulls it off in that sort of scenario, his FEAR ends up being absorbed without doing any damage to the guy!
"I don't suppose you've been able to get more practice with yours?"

"Hundred?! Really?"
Her eyes widened in surprise; she didn't doubt Jericho, of course - he didn't seem like the type to lie, after all, but she had never seen one of those before. Or heard of it for that matter, so it was more of an exclamation made due to her surprise. She had heard of the game 'Dungeons and Humans', but only because its the name of a club in school and she had been curious enough to find out more about what 'D&H' stood for.
"Why would you need so many sides to a die?" She couldn't help but ask, rather curious as to what it was used for.
At his frown, she gave him a reassuring pat on his arm; she could more or less guess what was going through his head. She shook her head at his question, "I never had a reason to practice before... Well, to put it in a sappy manner, I never had to protect anyone before so I never had a need to use my FEAR." She grinned, "I suppose we're in school for this though, right? Practice."

Nodding, Jericho put his d20 back into his pocket for the time being.
"Basically to find a percentage. The alternative is by rolling two, ten sided dice. It's a little more practical that way but the d100's are just so cool!" he laughed. His expression grew a tad more serious as the subject shifted on to FEAR.
"Yeah, I guess so. I don't think I'm very good with my FEAR yet right now, but I can't wait until I can really master it."

"Oh, that's really smart!" She blinked at the explanation; since percentages are essentially up to a hundred normally, using a dice on a tabletop game does make sense and is probably fair. A nod quickly followed as she laughed, "I guess it is pretty cool."
She nodded again, looking away as she tugged gently on Jericho's sleeve to get him to move forward; seems like they had stayed longer than intended, and her 'he'e s a boil and its late' senses were finally coming back to her.
"I can't wait either, but I guess it'll take time," She frowned slightly at the thought, but quickly went back to smiling, letting go of his sleeve, "No use worrying about it now - we'll just have to jump at every opportunity there is to practice."

Grinning, Jericho soon blinked as she tugged at his sleeve. Oh right, they were supposed to be going home right now. He wondered how long they had been talking here, not that he really minded. Not needing any more prompting, he continued to walk on towards the demon dorms.
"Yeah, that's a good point. Hopefully Red will be opening the gym back up sometime. I can't do much practicing without that battle pass."
It was a slight hindrance, but the moment he had the chance, he was going to jump on that opportunity like no tomorrow.

"Yesss," She couldn't help but frown a little, drawing out her yes before ending with a soft sigh, "I actually signed up for gym a while ago when there were vacancies, but there still hadn't been any word from Professor Red... I wonder if she had been busy. I only know of a few students with a battle pass so far - although technically, most of us had been in a battle already thanks to that Christmas raid."
Heh, thanks to the Christmas raid.
The Demon dorms were in view now, the giant gate at the front was not at all welcoming to any guests... Which was a shame, really. She glanced at the dragon, wondering if he intended to see her all the way up or if he'll drop her off at the gate. For a moment, she considered asking, but then decided against it; she'll just follow him and see where he stops.

It was a curious thought, but he supposed Red was busy with dealing with detentions and with the whole mystery Reaper guy. He did vaguely recall her in that forest with Arel before the guy showed up after all. Shaking his head at that, he paused and looked up at the gates to the demon dorm. Having been inside a couple times already from visiting Riley, they didn't bother him much at all.
So he went on to walk through the gates, glancing over towards Lizzy to see if she was still coming along as well.

Lizzy smiled, relieved that he wasn't bothered by the gates as she quickened her pace to catch up - then again, if she recalled correctly, he was in Riley's room during the 'Icky Stix' incident some time back... They must be really close for him to come all the way to help! Of course, she had no idea what went on that day, really - the highlight of that day for her, was spent with Calder, gathering Christof-body parts from the area under the windows. How that happened escaped her as well.
She led him up the stairs; her dorm was on the floor below Riley's and basically further into the corridor. Once outside her room, she paused, hesitating, before wrapping her arms around the boil to hug him - which was hopefully not awkward; it was difficult to imagine him as Amrita when he was both taller, broader and has wings... But she somehow did it without turning incoherent. Releasing him from the hug, she laughed, grinning, "Thanks for today... I had fun! I'm kind of glad you were in that auction even if your reaction at that time was pretty priceless!"
Before her brain could process what she did (ie. hugged a boil), Lizzy took out a key from her bag, using it to unlock the door before heading inside. Just before closing the door, she gave him another smile, "Good night, have a good rest!" She then calmly closed and locked the door from inside before slipping out of her heels, walking to her bed, and collapsing in it, her face red.
She would probably only fully remember everything she had done a day or two later.

Since he didn't know where her room was exactly, Jericho followed the demon girl through the halls to reach her place. Once they arrived, he was surprised when she had hugged him. He ended up tensing up, mainly because he wasn't really used to being hugged all that much. The only who did it before was Riley really.
Patting her lightly on the back before he was released, he had somewhat of an awkward grin on his face now.
"Yeah, no problem. And you too," he said to her. Once she had disappeared into her room, he let out a breath. Well this experience had been relatively painless. Over all, the day didn't go nearly as horrendous as he would have thought it would beforehand. He didn't have any plans to be singing or dancing again any time soon, but it was still something.
Turning on his heels, the dragon went on back to the monster dorms to crash for the night, feeling relatively content with everything.
