After class was over, Ev made her way back to the dorms slowly. She wasn't in any rush really. There wasn't anything for her to do. It was a little lonely not having her small group from the Death class.. she'd gotten maybe a bit too accustomed to having their company. She glanced at a few students that she passed, her gait fluid and graceful, offering polite smiles, before she walked up the stairs to where their rooms lay.
Entering into the one she'd taken to sleeping in, the Grand Bois allowed herself to settle onto the ground, her formed legs unraveling into the many tendrils of roots. The few moths that remained with her... perhaps just five now, all crawled out weakly, tired from their lack of daily nourishment. Watching them, she was surprised by a vibration at her hip, making her gasp in surprise. Pulling out the skellyphone, to which she'd just recently acquired and learned of it's very existence, Ev merely stared at it. How was she supposed to work these things again? Clumsily, she began to push buttons, blinking curiously as a familiar name popped up. It instantly made her smile further, roots coiling with one another. Now she didn't feel too alone.
Unfortunately, with her great inexperience with anything to do with modern technology, her text was slow, and highly delayed in being returned to the boil.hanging gallow Text: joachim it isso niceto hear fromyou1! i'm dooing fine thanky ou. And yourself/? ohyes ijust have 4 ofmy littlefriendsleft. its quite lonelywithout them. but theseclasses areamzing don't oyu think?

After what felt like eons the phone in his hand buzzed, thankfully jarring him from his thoughts, which were just sinking down farther and farther with each oozing second. The light still hurt his eyes but he hurried to reach the message, as if somehow it might disappear before he read it. He carefully read the message, shoulders sagging with relieve. Alexander had replied, and had not mentioned anything bad or being in trouble. Then he began to worry again. Who even knew if this was actually his bonded? Slightly slower he answered this message as well, answering him in a way that suited him. NeoSeussi I am not injured. Is this really Alexander? He would rather be safe than sorry at this point, and he just needed some sort of reassurance. Anything to help assuage the doubt.

Mitsu seemed confused for a moment when Amrita said 'My Lady' in a mock voice. She stared at the undead for a long moment before a smile finally cracked across her face and a little giggle bubbled up which she was quick to try and stifle. The lycan had never made fun of people before but it was rather amusing. " I think you do a rather nice impression," Mitsu grinned. Looking back to her phone Mitsu quickly typed out a reply hoping she understood what Shun was saying. Blade Kuroda Maybe try giving them a chance? I know you don't like waiting on others but that's what teamwork is about.

[Entering] Lumi shuffled her feet slightly she was so tired already and honestly she hadn't done that much. But this place was just so expansive and richly decorated she wanted to explore everything. As she got to her room she noticed a small blinking light on her skellyphone. Tilting her head to the side she picked it up. A large "2 Messages" displayed. "2? huh,.I wonder form who..."As she tapped the screen the first message came up it said, "Unable to deliver Message Please Try Again"
"Oh...well maybe that's why he hadn't answered me...yeah because that's a great excuse to tell yourself."Lumi shook her head slightly before tapping the word next, it was a message from Julian, Her smile was kind of goofy when she realised it was from him as she read it she had to laugh at herself for being so excited. It was just a standard hi how are you type of text. 'Well at least he did text' she thought, hitting the reply button she was happy this one had a small key board she wouldn't make too many mistakes. She sent back a short and possibly clipped text because the anger she was feeling towards herself was showing just a bit. Reeshie Hack Text to Julian: Oh wolves sound fun. Conquest is nice...nice to hear from you... As soon as she hit the button marked send she felt horrible for having sent such a short and kind of mean text. But didn't he deserve it...no of course not, picking up the phone again she pulled up his text hitting reply one more time this time she was hoping it would be better. Reeshie Hack Text to Julian: ..Uhm...sorry about the last one...Your classes sound fun. Mine are interesting, I missI like the Isle of Conquest. It's very pretty. Also it was really nice to hear from you..I've been so lonely here. I did meet a ghoul named...uhm...Dan...Danny? As she was typing she realised that it wasn't typing anymore. So she hit send again and just left it at that. She hadn't figured out the delete key just yet.

The text this time seemed to come faster, but not before images flashed through Yin's head. He had never thought of killing an animal to be a bad thing but this...this...Alexander's fingers could not work quickly enough. He stumbled through reading the message but it made him...not quite smile but to relax a bit more. Yes, that is something that Alexander would say, that he was always there. Apparently he could tell even through it was written that something was wrong. And Yin was not ready to talk about it. Not really. So he began typing, typing what he wanted Alexander to know, and then added a bit more, admitting at least that something was wrong. NeoSeussi I do not no who else. I am glad it is u. I whoke up and can not go to sleep. I might b sick.

Lumi read the text as she curled up on the bed, she had somehow managed to fluff it up so it was more of a pile of fluff then a bed but it was cozy for her at least. Laughing slightly "so she is a student...a little odd...." She said out loud, tilting her head to the side she wondered what kind of creatures he could be talking about. There were interesting creatures here as well, thinking about her class. Finally reaching the end of the text she slowly as to not make any mistakes this time decided what she wanted to respond with. Reeshie Hack Text to Julian:Oh Trees? Well that should be fun for an owl like you! And yes I've been exploring. It's been interesting, we tamed enchanted beasts today...AND I actually was able to dance without failing too much. She hit send and laid back. Thinking about class today wondering what would become of the creatures they tamed.

The ghoul let her roots coil and gently creep along the ground below her, masked eyes watching them, especially as a moth started to head towards one. She lifted said root, and curled it to serve as a platform, perking up as the device in hand vibrated again, accompanied with a cute little chime. Joachim~ Once again, she tried her hand at texting... fumbling plenty of times, not at all aware of how difficult it might be to read such amateur typing. hanging gallow Text: ohmerel1!2 please tellhe r I say hello! she is sovery darling, joachim. imglad she ca me alongwith you. ☺*here, she paused to giggle quietly.* hehe, ohdear! hopefully thE damage won't betoo immense! yes I'mreally enjoying this experience1 ive learned a lot! jewelry first andnow theart anduse of ink! what aboutyuo? ☺

It was quite exciting, really, awaiting the sound and feel of the electronic device to give alert to a received message. Ev found herself watching the small rectangle in her hand rather intently, the tips of some of her roots curling tightly, before unraveling once a message gave heed.
Oh but there was so much she wanted to say! typing was so arduous due to her lack of skill! it was too bad their classes didn't sync. hanging gallow aww. yesyou're right. she would certianly havemissed you! she'llbe home soon! Ifyou need help cleaning up I offermy assistance. ☺ hehe, ohno! but I did makea hairpinthat looked like a moth! sofar justonebasic ink colour; black!

Yin waited anxiously still, impatient, only too ready for Alexander to text him back. As soon as he received the message he began tapping his reply, knowing that the quicker he sent it off the faster it would return. NeoSeussi I do not mean to keep u from any thing. I just had to no u were ok. There is no reason for u to be apologetic b cuz u did not make me sick. I am ready to c u again.

((Night after Day 3 of class)) He had been sent out to fulfill his duty of patrolling the boundary. Miss Ah-Lam had seen to it that he was comfortably outfitted for the trip, and all and all the journey had been mostly uneventful. He was supposed to head home in a day or two, and he had managed to get a beautiful coral necklace for Miss Jiā Tíng before all of the goods from some traders were packed up to be sent to the capitol.
He was just thinking about how happy she would be when the movement grabbed his attention. Those were not natural colors, and that was much too large to be a minipet. He was running before it even fully registered, glad that he was already shifted as the creature, a boil, came into view. It seemed to move in slow motion, turning to face him, raising his arms up as he pushed him to the ground, pining him to the ground with the back of one claw pressed to the stitched neck of the male.
"This land is off-limits to outsiders," he hissed angrily, pressing hard enough that some foul-smelling and dark liquid began to ooze around his neck wound.
"I'm just a scholar. I came to do research about the mantodae," the boil hurried to respond, struggling a bit and obviously off-kilter as he winced and tried to free his neck. "Please, I do not mean you any harm."
"We shall see about that. Do not even think of trying to escape me." He was forced to go at a painfully slow pace as the creature could not seem to move faster. He escorted him into the commons area of the small outpost, waiting with him as the ghoul in charge came around to inspect him.
She made queries herself, and, seeming dissatisfied, turned to Yin. "Do whatever you need and find out whatever you can about who he is and why he is here. He is a zombie. They can take a lot of abuse." She motioned so that the zombie could not see, clearly indicating that after he was done he was to remove this possible treat.
The interrogation did not go well. He almost seemed to believe the zomboil when he told him he did not know things, but he still pressed him for it. He learned early on that the zombie had a high pain tolerance, and really could take a lot of abuse.
Now it was time to work past that. So he had been sensitive about his neck? Slowly Yin began destroying the stitches, not at all pleased with the answers. His greatest triumph was when he discovered that even without his body the head could still speak, which seemed to be a powerful motivator.
It also had a fear of fire. The flesh smelled horrible as it burned, not even fit to eat. And he got answers, but they were nonsense answers. But he was happy. Happy to do the job, hoping only that he did it correctly. He enjoyed this. Enjoyed protecting the Clan, doing whatever it took for the good of the clan. Knowing his was protecting the female that chose him and her family. The rush of power from having someone at his mercy. Watching the body writhe around while he asked the the portion he had sawed off questions about what it was and what it was doing there.Heart pounding, drenched in sweat, and every horrifying detail stuck in his mind Yin sat up with a start. He fumbled for Alexander's phone. sending out a speedy text. And he waited. And waited. And waited. As the minutes dragged by he fumbled to reach the pictures on the phone, trying to reassure himself that the Alexander smiling back at him was real, not the stranger in his dream. Not the one he had beheaded. But still there was no answer and before he knew it he was replaying the dream over in his mind. At some point he began sobbing, though he could not pinpoint if it was because of what had happened to Alexander, the fact that he had been the one to do it...or something else. Something he did not want to acknowledge. He had been so happy. But the eyephone simply stayed silent, mocking him with its face innocently blank.

Lumi had fallen asleep after the message was sent to Julian, it had been such a long day. As she slowly woke the next morning she noticed the little blinking light. Smiling happily she reached for it, only to knock it off the small table. "ugh...my luck I'll probably break it before too long...I don't understand how these students make them last..."Reaching around in the early morning light she finally found it. And opened the text. He had wished he could take home the beast they trained, she wondered what he had found...or if he possibly already told her and she just forgot. Wincing she decided to just leave out the question just in case. Reeshie Hack Text to Julian:A fox...like me...we drew them and they came to life! And maybe if you asked the instructor nicely they'd let you sneak it back! And...oh I guess I wont get to talk to you much when you get back. I hope we'll get to see each other one more time I'd like to say bye properly. She hadn't even thought about that fact, this was a borrowed phone, she wouldn't be able to talk to him after these trials ended. Sighing she placed the phone back down on the bed and decided if this was her last day of classes she might as well make the best of it.

(Early morning) The buzz of his phone jerked Roch awake--which rather sucked, because honestly he still wasn't sleeping that easily on those stupid bamboo mats. He reached for the phone, barely opening his eyes, and checked his text. Mitzi Text to Roch: hws ur cls goin? w@ islnd r u on?It took him a few moments before he understood what in the hell she'd just asked. He wasn't that quick this early in the morning, okay? alliisara Conquest. It's... interesting. Miss the hammocks, though. Then he yawned and fell asleep again, the phone still in his hand. Mitzi w@ cls? c&#xki;n hre. minis 8 it thn atakd Roch stared blankly at the message that had woken him up again. And then he stared longer. And finally... His phone vibrated and he woke again, staring at the new text. Mitzi w@ we c&#xkd; ws 4 minis, aftr dey 8 it sum atakd us Then he replied in the only way that came to mind. alliisara That's good, I guess? I'm gonna go back to sleep now. Don't die, k?

It felt like hours, and, in fact, it probably had been before the zomboil texted him back. During that time Yin was able to think of all sorts of wonderful scenarios. The dream had been some sort of premonition and Alexander was dead. Alexander somehow knew what he had been dreaming about. Something horrible had happened to keep the zomboil from texting him. Being away from him made the zomboil realize that he really did not desire to be with him. He did not wish to deal with his texts any longer...he really should have learned more when Alexander had been correcting his spelling. He flipped through the images on the phone, knowing that the day before they had helped. Today they did little or no good whatsoever. If something had really happened would he ever even see that smile again? Or what about the other smile, the one he did not have a picture of? The one that he had never saw Alexander give to anyone else. So when the phone finally did buzz he latched on to the message like it was his only lifeline. NeoSeussi R u ok? Why did it take u so long to ansir?

At least this time Alexander had not left him hanging for very long. A late night class? Famine seemed odd, and he worried for Alexander, despite him not requiring sleep. And the wound? NeoSeussi Ur shoulder? Pleas get it looked at to make sure u r ok. Every thing will b ok. I just whoke up again. So again, not the full truth. But Alexander did not need the whole truth. He could not know the whole truth.
