Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freysia began answering Alabaster's question first "We believe that humans and other races can co-exist on this world, my dream is to simply have a world where all races can tolerate and live with one another" She answered honestly
"As to why I want to be a teacher I'm not sure how to really answer that I guess I feel I have some knowledge I would like to pass on to others and teaching seems like the best way to do that,
I would also like to register as a nurse to keep up my practice with my healing arts, first aid and medical treatment. I get a sense of joy out of healing others and wish to continue that here.


It was Jon's turn to answer as he thought about the question,
"I guess simply put I have traveled the world and have seen different areas with different hardships and strife, It's not an easy world to live in and even harder if you're considered different.
I think that with some training and discipline students can be ready for the world and cope with that fact they while others view them as different that doesn't mean that they don't have a right to be here" Jon answered as he waited for the response of Alabaster.

Alabaster sighed after hearing the girl's explanation. There was something sickeningly upbeat about the girl. However his face remained stoic and didn't give away his cynicism. He watched the guy carefully as he spoke for the first time, carefully eyeing him over, trying to get a glimpse into the man's mind. "truly stirring stories I must say" he said not sounding touched at all. "While I'm sure you are qualified as far as competence goes, and you claim to have good motives, my main issue is on the question of loyalty." he said lacing his fingers and leaning on his elbows. "Every teacher in this school takes an oath to serve and protect this school and it interests to the fullest of their capabilities. For most of them its because they attended this very school and created found memories they wish to protect, as well as allow new students to forge their own memories. Due to this, with one small exception, I can say that I trust every single person on this staff, and they have never given me a reason not to. However you two do not have the distinction of having attended here, thus your stake in this place is minimal. Whats more you've all ready pledge loyalty to another organization, one we don't even know the name to let alone have a stable relationship with. So how do I know that you won't betray us without a thought if your organization orders you to? You say your organization fights to protect the world, but what if they interpret our actions dangerous? what if they believe the secrets we hold here would be put to better use in their hands, and thus use you two to get to them? I'm by no means unaware that you're only here because we called out to you in a time of need. That if not for the war like situation we're in you wouldn't even have approached these gates. But we do not need charity or hand outs. What we need are people who can pledge their full loyalty, and even their lives, to this school. Because make no mistake that's what it will likely come down to before this is over. Can you honestly promise me this while you are still connected to this organization? To be honest I'd rather not even ask it since I don't like making people lie." he said not making eye contact the whole time he spoke, simply staring off into space. He was determined to never allow what happened with Ron happen again. But to him, allowing these two in almost seemed like asking for it.

(to things Circuit. First its allready the next day, the carnival thing happened last night. And alabaster allready left the library and everything is taking place in his office so Orochi and Cielle are alone in the library

and thank you Frosty)




Alabaster was a bit annoyed that not only they, but Dev had failed to inform him they were actually in charge of said organization. He didn't like being played for a fool and he let it show on his face. Though he refrained from commenting on it. "hmmm I find it curious that you attempted to sway your answer towards one that would answer my question, but still managed to miss the mark. I asked if you could promise your loyalty to the school, not whether or not you had any reason to betray us. Their is difference between what one thinks and what one does. Since you are the heads of your organization, and thus would most likely prefer an alliance to a subservient role I will offer that to you instead. If we were to ally with you, could you guaranty that you would not betray us under any circumstances" It wasn't like Rumia were her loyalty wasn't as important as it was a single person who could be dealt with. This however was an organization they knew nothing about. Their numbers, their strength, their connections throughout the super natural world, all of these were a mystery to them, so if they turned on them it could cripple them severely.


























Kyurem was speechless as Celti walked withing arms reach. Seemingly enjoying having the boy completely under her power "now I'm going to find out what the undead little rat looks like" she said reaching out for his hood and pulling it up. However before his face was revealed a wolf made from green flames came up from behind and lunged at the boy.
"What the?" Kyurem managed to get out before the wolf hit him and teleported him off to who knows were.
Celti stood there for a few moments, unable to fully comprehend what the hell just happened. "what the hell just happened?" she reiterated. One second the boy was there, helpless in her clutches, the next he's gone, and she swore there was a wolf too. Immediately she spun around to look at the door, it was cracked open slightly and she could slivers of clothing from behind it. "oh no you don't!" she yelled at whoever was behind the door.

















Benten held back a chuckle as the girl sent the wolf in to save the clothed man, the woman's confused expression only made the moment funnier. "your a devious one lass" he thought. Though he realized to quickly that they'd have to book it. If Ayaka's insistence wasn't enough to get him going, the woman's enraged shout was. "two steps ahead of ya lass" he said springing to his feet and swooping Ayaka up into his arms, confident they'd be faster that way, plus hey, any chance to get to hold the girl in his arms shouldn't be passed up, even in dire situations like this. The oni was off like a bullet, trying to remember the path they had taken in. However his mind had been distracted by the large metal door that used to rest on the frame of Celti's study room, but was now sent flying by them, no doubt having been aimed at them with murderous intent. "Holy Crap!" he shouted not looking back, instead he kept running and rounded the corner, hoping the woman wouldn't catch up.

(Fixed. Though i'd still like an update on the whole celti,kyurem,alabaster and new teachers thing.)

Alabaster sighed and relaxed a bit. "very well, it seems I'll have to be satisfied with that. Forgive me if I seem distrustful, but we have had issues with loyalty lately.....and I would rather not have a repeat of the unpleasantness that ensue" he said rather apologetically. Alabaster wasn't the best socialite, which explained why he seemed to switch between harshness and leniency so quickly. He simply didn't know how to react most of the time. His formal attitude was little more than a shield from this short coming. If you disregarded emotion all together than not only was conversation easier, but people tended to fear/respect you much quicker.

(so pretty much what happened Circuit is when Cielle split from the group Kyurem went off as well and snuck into the lower levels of the school were the blue cloaks reside *cough* go read page 421 *cough* sorry about that had something in my throat. He searched around for a while, searching for something which turned out to be the instruction manual for how to work the machine that taps into the power from Tryton's jewel. He beat up a guard and stole their uniform and went to find it when Benten and Ayaka snuck down to explore and get into trouble. They bumped into each other, but Kyurem was disguised so he just walked off. Seeing this as surprising since they were in a restricted area and the blue cloak didn't yell at them the duo followed behind him until he came to the personal study of Celit Uznog, head of the research divison. Meanwhile Alabaster and Patchouli consulted about getting new teachers and she found two people from Dev's organization to apply for the job. Alabaster grilled them on their motives, the shady organization they worked for, and whether or not they would possibly betray the school, but these concerns were more or less silenced when it was revealed the they along with Dev were the heads of the organization. Why they didn't just say that in the first place and save everyone the grief has yet to be revealed, but in the process of interviewing them Alabaster summoned celti to his side to run a background check on the two new teachers, forcing her to leave her study and the manual unguarded. Kyurem slipped in just as Benten and Ayaka were going to catch him and was about to successfully steal the manual when Celti reappeared and quickly realized he wasn't really a blue cloak. She proceeds to fling him against the wall and try to reveal his identity, but Ayaka created a green fire wolf that hit Kyurem and teleported him to some unkown location, I have decided to let Frosty determine where he pops back up so right now he's pretty much just floating in hammer space. Well that pissed Celti right the *bleep* off and she noticed the two through the crack in the door and has started chasing them down......any questions)

(Why thank you, that was incredibly helpful.)

Cielle stopped at that moment. No one had actually given the time to properly ask about her or her species before that the topic had sort of moved to the very back of her mind. She looked down at the boy with a new sense of fondness. "Well, im glad you asked. Not sure if i've told you before but i am from a race called the Avians. There are many types of Avians, some live in the mountains, while other places include, jungles, forests, deserts and seaside cliffs. I'm the mountain type. Basically, we look like normal humans except we have wings and out feet and hands are claw like though we can shape them into normal human hands." Cielle paused, trying to remember more about her species. "The Avians are further divided into two types. Those more civilised who enjoy, reading, writing and literature. While those more...barbaric and they tend to live in tribes and go hunt animals to eat, fighting being their main focus. I originally came from the barbaric side but then later went over and became like a am today so i've got a bit of warrior blood in me." Cielle stared off into the distance, remembering not so fondly of the rather revealing armour that the female warriors wore. "I think i still have that hidden somewhere....maybe ill show them if i can ever find it. But i wont be wearing it."

She continued walking, holding Orochi's hand. "So what else did you want to know about?"

Benten noticed Ayaka wrap her arms around him, but had no time to dwell on it, as the raging woman had rounded the corner as well. The woman raised a hand to cast a spell at them, but suddenly the same door she had flung at them went flying at her and she had to turn to blast it away. It served a good enough distraction as they managed to round another corner, loosing sight of her for a moment. When Ayaka said not to panic he was going to question why when he felt her delicate fingers wrap around his neck "oh so your into tha-" however he wasn't able to finish his remark as they both suddenly burst into flames and disappeared.

When celti had destroyed the door with a blast of fire she turned back to the kids just in time to see them round the corner "oh your not getting away that easily!" she pursued them around the corner just in time to see them disappear in a burst of fire. "dammit!" she shouted turning and kicking the wall, chipping off a rather large piece of stone in the process. "well at least they didn't get the book" she grumbled heading back to her study, now she would have to get a new door.


Benten saw nothing but white, and felt nothing. Then there was a ceiling, and then there was pain. The first came when he landed with a thud on the floor letting a tired gasp. Then came the awareness of the very unpleasant burning sensation throughout his body. He was vaguely aware of the pressure of someone elses body on his and looked down to see Ayaka laying on top of him. He smiled, but the aching all over his body prevented a witty comment. He felt her get off of him, but didn't bother trying to make out what she was saying. To tired for that. When she asked him if he was allright he opened his eyes and looked up into her own. He leaned up and planted a loving kiss on her lips. "I am now" he said pulling back with a smile. Within a few seconds he was back to his feet feeling fine, as though rejuvenated by the kiss. Sure it was a tad under handed, but it was the least she could do after setting the FROST oni on FIRE. "so what did you say about the guy in the cloak?" he asked rolling his ams, making sure nothing was broken.


Kyurem found himself plopped into a bath tub of all things. It made him wonder if he had been saved, or god thought this situation would be a more amusing way to degrade him. "well I didn't get the manual, but hey no one saw it was me.....well except for that one guy" he said looking down to the robe he had snatched off that guard he had shooken down. He leaned back in the tub and let out a sigh, not really all that angry about it. The burning sensation that came from Ayaka's teleport didn't affect his zombified nerves, so all in all he wasn't feeling to bad. "perhaps I should take a bath" he joked, not really wanting to move from the spot since he found it oddly comfortable.



"wow onee-chan that so cool! your a bird and a crazy strong warrior. Just like bull-kun" he said doing a few boxing jabs like he saw Taur do before to punctuate what he said. Clearly most of what she had said had passed over the boys head as usual, but then again he didn't know about habitats and anatomy yet so it couldn't be helped. When she asked him what else she wanted to know his grip loosened in her hand and he blushed. "ummm.. onee-chan..can I see your wings?" he asked sounding embarrassed, though he wasn't exactly sure why since wings weren't even remotely considered "naughty". He wondered what they would look like, and if they were pretty or not.



Alabaster nodded when Patchouli gave them her approval. Though he personally trusted Celti's research prowess over Patchouli's, it was the focus of her job after all, he didn't mention anything about it. When she mentioned the organization had its own enemies, Alabaster harrowed the thought of it. "yes as you can imagine we are spread thin as it is, we would be able to assist you in your own troubles once we've managed to deal with Rina and Tryton, but until then we can't do much to provide aid" he said knowing it made the idea of a partnership less appealing from their end. When Freysia said she would be able to provide added outside security Alabaster was very appreciative. "thank you that would be much appreciated. We are trying to hard to fortify everything here, that we can't spare anyone to look outwards. Now there is only the matter of your teaching status. First we'd need to know what you'll be teaching. And second you'll need to be brought up to date on the workings of the school and current events."
