Kin smile seemed so serene compared to Cole's feral snarl, that from the outside it looked like the two had been cropped out of two completely different events. Kin kept stepping forward unabashed, like a carrying soul approaching a wounded, confused animal, which really all Cole was, confused and hurt...it wasn't really her fault she was so angry, anyone would be. When She grabbed his collar he flinched his head back, but taking another deep breath he turned back to her and placed his hand over her, staring into her eyes with a look of determination. He wouldn't run away this time, not when it mattered more than ever. When she started to call him something, but couldn't seem to find the word Kin looked at her expectantly, expecting her to call him an idiot, or naive, or something or other. However what she really said caused him to c**k his head to the side in confusion....puppy? Kin thought he was a deer not a puppy. However he wasn't exactly in a position to go retrieve his note pad to ask her to explain, and now it felt kinda silly that he had tossed it aside. However those thoughts flew from his mind when Cole dropped forward into his chest, propping herself against him to stay standing. He looked concerned at first, but figuring she was just tired Kin smiled and gently petted her hair, holding her close. He looked down at her and nodded when she murmured his name, ready to do almost anything she may have asked at that point. When she asked him to take her home Kin smiled sweetly and nodded, his mouth motioning as if to let out a chuckle. With a bit of awkwardness, since Cole wasn't exactly in full control of her faculties, and Kin was no weight lifter by any means, he managed to shift around and hoist her up onto his back piggy back style, letting her head rest on one of his shoulders. With that he rushed out of the hospital, glad to be rid of the place, and made off towards the demon side of the island, retracing the way there from the first time Cole had invited him over.

The second Kin retreated from her grasp, Cole began to fall forward, but his eagerness was so that she merely thudded against his back as he lifted her into the air. She let out a small grunt of protest, but did not otherwise fight the piggyback ride. It wasn't until she allowed herself to be carried that she realized just how wiped out she was. She had certainly had worse physical challenges before, but Damien's inky soul had struck her in a way she wasn't expecting. The rage had worn off and left her in a heap, sort of like the notepad that had been strewn dramatically in the corner when Kin had stood up to her. "Paper," she tried to alert him, but he had already taken off. What's it matter? she thought, letting herself sink into the deer boy's steady run, Not like I can read it with my eyes closed. And with that, her eyelids fluttered despite the bumpy ride. Just a nap till we get there...

Kin smiled and let out a silent chuckle as Cole protested being lifted up onto his back. Even half unconscious Cole was surprisingly stubborn. Still compared to everything that had transpired it was comforting that one could afford to complain about something as small as a piggy back ride, it meant there wasn't anything worse going on at the moment. Kin cocked his head to the side in confusion when she mentioned paper, not understanding what she meant, well not until he was halfway to the demon area when he realized his notepad was gone, though it was to late to go back to it, not when he was hauling Cole around on his back atleast. Besides its not like she was going to be reading anything he said in this state. When they reached Cole's house Kin reached behind him, going through Cole's pockets, until he found her key and unlocked the door. Carrying her inside he took her to the bedroom and gently laid her down on the bed and pulled the covers up over her.

(well after much procrastination and delays I can proudly say that episode 5 is finally ready. I changed things up a little for this one, trying out some new editing tricks and going for a more rapid fire style with the jokes, so tell me what ya'll think. Either way I hope you enjoy.
Many times, Anaru desired to interject, but he had nothing to say that would justly debate Damien's points. For one thing, Anaru had been a lone wolf for most of his life. He did not have experience implementing peaceful or harsh measures to correct subordinates, let alone students. He cared for them children, but he had never associated with their kind in his life. Anaru was not meant to be a leader. If anything, he was an overpowered foot soldier compred to Damien. "You know just as well as me that what I did was necessary for a student of the Demonic realm, especially that with a background such as hers. Fear of the stick is a much better alternative than applying the stick continuously. Besides, she's like the type to simply continue acting out if I'd applied a standard punishment. I know you care for the students deeply, but-" As Anaru cast his eyes downward behind his mask, solemnly drooping his shoulders like a scolded child, Damien trailed off, watching the soace behind Anaru's shoulder. Anaru glanced back to find the human boy, Royce, running towards them to catch up. Anaru tilted his head, presuming Royce had caught up, realizing Damien had been meanng to talk to him and essentially forgot. He was surprised, when he moved to step aside, Royce instead faced Anaru. "Sir, sorry for darting up like this, but you said you wanted to speak with me." Perhaps Damien sensed his sudden loss for words, and suggested a more impending situation for Royce to attend to. However, Royce had incrdible confidence in his team. He faced the stoic Anaru, and there was silence for a moment, which almost seemed menacing with Anaru's empty paper face. After a full minute of what seemed to be Anaru sizing him up, the instructor sighed and scratched the back of his head, the picture of awkward. "I apologize Royce. I didn't mean on such an official basis. You interest me, that's all. For a human to come to the academy so soon after it's creation was wonderful, and I heard about your incident." He nodded to the boy and shook his hand. "And the truth is, I don't know what to ask you yet. I will see you enough, and you may seek me out any-...Damien, Miss Wards has arrived on the island," Anaru remarked, sensing the new presence on the island.

Nadia gave a troubled look and waved off the part about getting help finding her sibling."Meine Geschwister verarbeiten kann Dinge. Ich bin sicher, dass wir in unseren Wohnräumen wieder zu vereinen." She spoke slower so that Vincent wouldn't have trouble understanding her German. "Ah, aber obwohl ich Englisch recht gut verstehen, ich spreche nicht gut Englisch überhaupt." She looked at Vincent pleadingly." She looked at him with puppy dog eyes, "Ich brauche jemanden, der Worte für mich übersetzen, aber vielleicht könnten Sie übersetzen, was ich versuche, anderen zu sagen ..?" She looked over at Renee with an encouraging smile. "Vielleicht könnten wir Renee Deutsch lehren, ich bin sicher, ihr Deutsch wäre viel besser als mein Englisch." It was very clear she wasn't comfortable speaking English, so her last remark, although was a bit of a joke, was quite serious.

Aura bit her lip a bit when she felt Euca's breath on her face as he inspected her tingling forehead. She was fine, it wasn't the first time she had bumped into something and it surely wouldn't be the last. Though for some reason, this time she felt a bit more embarrassed by it. She felt a bit relieved when Euca turned the conversation back on Jade. "Dornt ye pure techt Washington DC?" Aura's face went bright red. She had more or less tried to hide her Scottish accent since she arrived at the school, how could she have lost the ability to hide it right then.
Location: main island, human district with: and Renee OOC:
"never flinching, never wavering...."
Vincent sighed as Nadia continued speaking in german despite them asking for her to speak english. "allright, if you think they'll be allright" he said, not about to push anything, after all he still had to worry about getting Renee a comfortable place to stay for the night. When she informed him she couldn't speak english well and pleaded for him to translate he sighed and took off his cap, running his hand through his hair. "how troublesome. I suppose I can for now, but you really need to work on your english. Not everyone here can speak German and I can't walk around with you everywhere translating for you" he said, blushing and looking away, trying hard not to get sucked into her puppy dog eyes. "why do girls allways have to attack my weakness?" he thought, having a soft spot for cute girls in need of help. However when she remarked about how teaching Renee german would be easier than her learning English he glanced at Renee for a moment before saying "ja nicht wahrscheinlich (yeah, not likely)" in german so that Renee wouldn't understand what he was saying. He somehow doubted Renee would be up for something like that, it'd be like rolling a boulder up a cliff, except the cliff was a, admittedly adorable, incredibly spastic girl. "anyways Renee Nadia here just transferred in like us, and is looking for her dorm house, which is why she bumped into us because she lost her map. She's german so she can't really speak english very well, so I guess I'm gonna have to translate, though she can understand english just fine, so you should still watch what you say" he said, a bit hypocritical seeing as he had literally just done what he warned Renee not to attempt, speaking in another language to slip something past someone. "anyways, since Nadia still hasn't found her dorm house yet why don't we help her find it? That way we can get to know this part of the island better as well" he said, offering a hand to both Renee and Nadia.

(hey Lynn, can you please use a bigger font for your posts? I can make out the actual post well enough, but the german translations are so small I had to copy and paste them into my post just to make them out.)
Royce stood there for a moment, watching as the man examined him, seemingly sizing the boy up with his eyes. As the man let out a sigh, a slight amount of tension from the silence let him breath a little better: it felt like the time his instructor in the Cadets first saw him and gave him a look-over and lecture before he met the others. When she mentioned that he wasn't quite sure what he was going to ask, Royce almost felt like he jumped the gun, though it was an honest mistake. He nodded when he was done speaking and shook his hand back. "My bad. If that's the case, I'll wait until you've got the right words for what you want to ask." With her sudden trail off, Damien nodded at Anaru. "I know, though with how late it's getting I'd have to say that we should wait until tomorrow until I talk to them. Besides, it'll give her a chance to take a break and rest up before the competition, and hopefully leave her in a good mood... I'd better leave a large-lettered note on her front door and a case of alcohol for that, though. Oh Royce, while I'm thinking of it, tell me- Royces head turned up at the mention of his name. "Given that your squad has a good amount of preparation time for the event tomorrow, are you going to have something special in line for us?" Royce gave a sly smirk to the man, turning around and walking away. He was still looking to the man when he spoke, though, retaining some sense of respect to the pair. "You'll find out in the dead of the morning, Damien. I'm pretty sure everyone will get quite the wake-up call." As he walked off, Damien decided to let himself smirk at the prospect he just offered. I wonder if they'll meet my expectations... He began to walk back to his office/living quarters for a nights rest, hands behind his back in thought, as he always does. "You may return to your quarters, Anaru. I'd say the days end is creeping up on us sooner than we expected..." Damien then produced a pen broad permanent marker and pad of writing paper, writing a message to Miss Wards about the arrangement:
"Enjoy the drinks, but please use the mouthwash after. We may be a secret school, but we still have standards stare P.S. The mouthwash is Peppermint Schnapps"
Then, with a pop and the smell of ozone, the note dissapeared and found itself hanging on her door in the Staff dorms, where inside was a fridge industrial fridge containing enough liquor to feed an AA meeting for a month... or for the teacher, a week (hopefully).
As the two convened to eachother, Renee couldn't help but notice a couple of words and phrases that seemingly reffered to her. And Vince's sudden use of German seemed to confirm what she thought... this was one of the few times she could actually figure out the general message being conveyed. Then, she noticed the almost flirty and innocent behaviour that this girl demonstrated to the young man, and two words came into mind instantly: Cheap bimbo. Vince gave his explanation of what she said and the gist of what she was after. "E e, watashi wa renīda. Yoroshiku ne. Anata ga ki ni shinai baai, watashi wa anata ni tsu no ie o goei suru hitsuyō ga arimasu." Her words switched instantly to Japanese, it's accent absolutely fluent. When she got angry, she stuck to her favourite language to make it harder for others to pick up on. She didn't like this girl, and for perfect reason: she watched this girl turn the boy into a puppet with the bat of an eyelash and the old 'puppydog eyes' trick. She was a troublemaker in true form. "Konata e dōzo. Sore wa kōhan ni natte kita... Oh, sorry. Forgot to mention: I preffer Japanese over Euro languages: the people tend to be more honest and helpful." She wasn't one to beat around the bush, this being a good example.
Translation: "Yeah, I'm Renee. Nice to meet you. If you don't mind, I need to escort you two home." "Follow me, please. It's getting late."
Euca listened to Jade as she told him about the places she's been to and even her parents. He listened to her attentively, keeping up with each word she said, and understood why she came to a school like this. Aura jumped in to confirm the place Jade performed the illegal fly-by, in what he thought was Scottish; Euca didn't know whether to laugh or cringe at the possibilities of Jade getting caught. The green haired girls accent changed and her blush confirmed that she was hiding her Scottish tongue, though he didn't make anything of it. "Well, people finding out your identity would make things troublesome I guess, and this school seems fairly secure. And don't worry, I've done my fair share of travelling myself: I was born in the Northern Territory, though my first real memories are from when I lived in New Zealand before my parents moved back home. My first plane ride was hellish since my ears didn't pop. It hurt alot, but I kept quiet until I passed out. Then again, me and that ginger are from a hard-headed family." Euca laughed a little with a shake of his head. "Sorry, I'm trailing off a bit there. So if you're born in this world, and you came here, does that mean you're staying in the Human area?"
|-Out Of Comission: As Lynn said, we are in the middle of moving house, so our activity is very uncontrolled. But this move will leave me much closer to work, so stress for me will drop quite a bit and hopefully allow me the inspiration for more frequent and quality posts.

Location: main island, human district with: and Renee OOC:
"never flinching, never wavering...."
Vincent stood there with a dead pan expression as Renee replied to them in japanese. Granted he had no idea what she was actually saying, japanese not being a common street language in old Chicago, though it was pretty easy to pick up on the hostility in her tone. Sighing he face palmed and shook his head, not able to deal with all this. Vince wasn't exactly a social butterfly, so in situations like this he tended to get really awkward, or try to assert some sort of authority. "allright that's it. New rule, if you have something to say, say it in a language everyone understands, I'm not going to deal with all this" he said, not about to let this devolve into petty squabbling over ******** language preferences. "Renee, your from Australia, so saying that doesn't even mean anything..... Look, this map says the human dorm houses are this way" he says pointing off towards the north. "you're free to follow along if you want, but I'm not going to deal with petty squabbles like this, or did you two forget the massive numbers of demons, angels, and other assorted monsters here who both hate humans, and outnumbers us like 50 to 1? We have bigger things to worry about then this" he told them both sternly before turning and heading out, perhaps not the best way to handle the situation, but Vince wasn't a councilor.

Jade stared blankly at Aura for a moment, almost forgetting to keep flapping her wings to keep her in the air. Then she wrinkled her nose and blurted, "What in the world is 'pure techt'?" She placed air quotes around the phrase, which also happened to be a perfect mimickery of Aura's own voice. Like some sort of puzzle, it didn't matter that Jade could make it sound the same, she still didn't know what Aura was trying to get across. As she was purely curious, the parrot girl wasn't aware that what she had just done could possibly have been taken as rude.
Euca's voice sort of registered in the back of her head, but she had already focused in on Aura and her attention span developed a sort of tunnel-vision. By the time she had tuned in once more, she managed to capture the last bit of his sentence. "Human area??" she chirped, "Umm...probably? I don't actually know, I was going to try and find that out!"
Umm, could you please edit the post? You didn't include Euca.

Okay everyone, the move is in full swing so we will not be posting at all until Saturday. We apologise for the hold-ups, but we can't really make any extra time until after the move.
Anaru watched the male student retreat, his gaze heavy and solemn. In the familiar's mind, he wondered deeply about Royce's capabilities to survive and protect this school. Anaru had been more than impressed by the boy's capability in an emergency. He'd been told that it was Royce's plan to detonate transported flash bangs among the kitsune. It was that kind of sharp wit that Anaru valued among masters, like Damien. Although, half the time, Anaru couldn't tell if his success was the result of concealed genius or random flukes. No doubt, Damien was an intelligent man, but he had no system. Royce and the headmaster would make a sly pair...The thought almost wanted to make Anaru shiver. He couldn't tell if that was excitement of anxiety.
"You may return to your quarters, Anaru. I'd say the days end is creeping up on us sooner than we expected..." Anaru nodded to Damien and wtched him flicker out of sight. Back to his quarters...Anaru rubbed the back of his neck and looked around the hall. He'd been sealed up with the barrier all summer, and now he could finally sleep in the physical world. He would miss the security of dormancy in the mountain, but he had to convince himself that this island was safe. "Hmm...Before I retire, let's check that barrier." It was no use, with the set of the new monstrous task of reviewing the barrier's failure, it was likely that Anaru would have no sleep for quite some time. He disappeared dutifully in a cloud of swirling pink petals, which dimmed and faded away rather than cluttering the halls.

Nadia blushed and looked at Vincent clearly troubled.. "But I wood. But.. Englisch..." Nadia turned back to Vincent with a bit of an embarrassed face. "Es ist nicht so, dass ich Englisch bevorzugen, kann ich sprechen ein wenig davon, aber die meisten wahrscheinlich, dass Sie und sie werden nicht verstehen, mein Englisch zu sprechen, weil ich schrecklich." The blonde girl continued to look troubled and turned to face Renee, with her back to Vincent. "Berry Sorry.." Although she seemed genuine in her apology, her eyes when looking solely at Renee sparkled. Though it may have been for another reason because Nadia smiled and said, "We meet later.. I sleeep now." She then ran into the grassy tented area where there was a gypsy wagon and two tents out off to the side of it. She entered the tent that seemed to fit her needs--slightly more girly than the other one, it was clearly meant for her. Before Renee or Vincent could respond, Nadia was already in her tent, most likely laying down..

Aura blushed clearly embarrassed and not wanted to discuss it further, she quickly responded after clearing her throat quietly. "The whole phrase meant, 'Don't you mean Washington D.C.?'" Aura then helped to change the subject further by adding, "Well perhaps we should go to the office in the morning, you can get your classes and living then, since you are from the human world, I doubt Mr. Harold and Royce would have issues with you staying at his place.. There's plenty of room.. Plus the offices are probably closed this time of night..."
