{ The School Office } [Re-Open] PAGE 36: THE CALLING

[lizbot]

Tapping her pen in irritation, the headmistress listened to the mutt and then that damnable rat joined in as well. Hmmm...the kelpie was getting a bit out of control it seemed. Once the two were finished with explanations and suggestions, she gave a sigh and then shrieked at the top of her lungs, "GET IN HERE NOW!"

With a small glare at her beloved staff, she added more quietly, "Stay if you wish, otherwise go educate."  

[MoonKitsune]

Calder jerked when he heard the principle's voice. NEVER had he heard it that loudly or with such force. If his ears could have dropped any lower, they just did, as did his stomach. He was already terrified of Hellma. As much as he talked big, she TERRIFIED him – which only meant she was doing her job, and she was about to do that now as well. It was times like this he wished he wasn't so tall and envied Chuppi for her small stature. If only he had a smell to shrink, turn invisible, and fly AWAY – but he doubted whatever ability or magic craft he had right now would save him. NOTHING would save him.

Checking to see if his heart stopped and saddened that it hadn't, he curled in and pressed down into himself, slowly moving to the door. He didn't want to open the door, but he knew that anything less than obeying that singular command would not be a good idea and he already followed enough bad ideas for a lifetime.

The doorknob twisted and he slowly moved in, wanting to keep as close to the door as he could. His forest-green eyes darted to Professor Red and Professor Tailor, wondering if it was better or worse if they were here. Did he need witness if he was murdered? Better yet, if he was murdered, would they bother to report the headmistress?
 

[Marushii]

Red glanced to Professor Tailor and back to Hellma before nodding. "We shall stay." It certainly beats watching those kids in detention. I wonder what they're up to? ...Tch, not my concern.

It didn't occur to her that by leaving so abruptly those in detention had ample time to sneak out and away. Oh, well -- chasing down the runaways would be something to do later once the detention was over. Besides, she had seen her fair of that particular washroom more than enough in her day.

She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, watching the headmistress and student.

(( I have permission to GM Prof Tailor~ ))  

[lizbot]

Rolling her eyes at the gym teacher, Hellma gestured sharply at the kelpie to take a seat. "So..." she drawled out, pen still tapping, "precious pony has become precious problem, yes?"

Tap.

Tap.

"And Precious could not settle for throwing the laundry in the water, or even a gnome. NOOOOO. Precious had to go for another student. In front of the mongrel gym teacher. Who is also a Bogeyman."

Tap.

"And let us not forget your little exploits concerning the property of a professor..." she gestured toward Tailor, "...who is not quite so unobservant as maybe you were hoping? You will be lucky not to get arrested, let alone expelled."

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.  

[MoonKitsune]

He didn't want to move further into the room, but when the pen was pointed to the chair, he sank down and slowly moved in, eyes glancing up to the two teachers up against the wall and wondering why, now, Professor Tailor was staying. That couldn't be a good sign. As he sat, he pressed into the chair, hoping it would turn alive and swallow him whole. Unfortunately, unlike his school supplies, it didn't have a mouth and eat him, and he didn't think that whatever a haunted chair would puke up would get away from any punishment. He lacked optimism at the current moment.

The word pony got to him, but he refused to wince and let it fall on him in waves. The tapping was not helping either, and with each tap of the pen on the small headmistresses desk, he jerked. Tap. Flinch. Tap. Flinch. Tap. Flinch. She was mulling over his list of offenses, and his jaw nearly dropped when it was figured out, rather quickly mind you, that he had taken Professor Tailor's supplies. WHEN IN THE WROLD DID HE FIGURE THAT OU – Oh, worse just got more worse. Worser. Worsest!

Yet, he clung to a single phrase. Was he going to get arrested or expelled? He hadn't even thought of being arrest!!!! He wasn't made for that sort of punishment!!! He'd be a school dropout and a criminal!

His eyes rounded before looking down, his hands having gripped his kilt and started to twist it as he sank further down. He was too young to have a criminal background. A rep. A record!

But what could he say in his defense?! He wasn't thing? He didn't think he would drown the girl? That nearly kicking a teacher had been an accident or a slip of the hoof?!! He doubted any of those would even work and the headmistress didn't look like the type of person you could make excuses with.
 

[Marushii]

"Three down."
"Five."
"Done."

The teachers ceased their quick whispering, their bets settled before they focused on the scene unfolding in front of them. They didn't have much to add -- they were only here to bear witness, after all.  

[lizbot]

Leaning back, Hellma continued, "I see you give no excuses...it is good. AS THERE IS NONE!" She lunged forward, hands slamming down on the desk. "AND IT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING AGAIN!" Settling back down she went on, "Because I will make sure of it, how nice I am yes? Not only will you be saved from the gaol, but you will be allowed to stay in school as well."

Hellma smiled and her shadow rose up behind the kelpie. "Records and recent events show me you have something of a handicap, such a shame it is! But this a school! All hope is not lost! And so...we'll train it out of you."

A shadowy hand reached down and gripped Calder's student pin. "It will not be easy..." The pin seemed to be absorbing it? But no...it was more along the line of the shadow invading the pin, and as the large shadow withdrew a small portion remained, wriggling in through the skull's eyes. "It will not be pleasant..." As the last piece of shadow disappeared into the skull, a sharp spike of cold pierced through the very FEAR that Calder was made of. Moments later is began to fade, but it left a feeling of...other. Of another presence right beside him. "But I will be there to help you. In my own little way."

Her voice had turned pleasant by now, and generally this was a bit worse than shrieking rage. "That pin, will no longer allow you out of it's range." In fact, it had sprouted several skitter-like legs that clutched fiercely at the kelpie. "Nor will it allow you outside of the school campus. Or inside the gymnasium. Or..." the smile widened, "..within 2 feet of any body of water larger than a toilet bowl."

She gestured to the Bin and fed it an application, "To illustrate..."

Water began gushing out of it's toothy metal mouth, and seconds within making contact with one of Calder's hoofs...he dissipated into nothing.

"He will respawn in the nurse's office in a few minutes." The water had reached a good 4 inches, but considering some of the other things the Bin produces, highly ignorable. "So...I will be receiving half of whatever you two were mumbling about over there, yes?"  

[Roxy_roxanna2]

Sin didn't want to be here, she wanted to be in her suite taking a luxuriously warm bubble bath and reading a good novel. This wasn't fair at all, she hadn't TRIED to get into the human world, she had been studying for goodness sake! She sighed as she walked up to the office door and then tried to slip in unseen, except Sin was rather bad at going unnoticed. She had been here before after winning the Battle of the Bands, alright well no one had really one, but she had been a survivor and intent on claiming a prize. This time she was less cocky, she didn't want a prize, she didn't even want them to acknowledge what had happened. If only Arel would just tell them to forget all about this crazy incident she would be happy.  

[Enoh Love]

The office. Again.

If it wasn't for stupid Death Charm chasing Lizzy's stupid Jimmy they wouldn't have been near the woods! There wouldn't have been the strange tracks, or the shiny thing in the tree, or the horrible world shifting or vanishing across lanes or getting shoved off of her feet...well, her world would have been a whole lot easier if it hadn't been for that stupid Death Charm.

She was going to pour a bucket of water on him the next time she saw him.

As obediantly as she could she shuffled back to the office, mighty unhappy for having been sent here for a second time.  

[Sosiqui]

Malodore couldn't help but feel that this was terribly unfair - but it was more concerned about Luce. The little cwn pup's whining had eased off, and the drooling had stopped, but she was still shaking against its ribcage, a low but steady tremor. Malodore ran its hand down her spine, trying to calm her as best it could as it awaited... er... whatever awaited them.

That had been horrible. Theoretical punishment on top of it was just... ugh.  

[poke mattix]

Astra had not anticipated a teacher to have shown up once she reached the safely of the school grounds. It was not a comforting sight to see after she had almost faded away into non-existence. She wasn't sure if she was in a huge amount of trouble but...chances are, she was. She hadn't gone into the weeping forest...but she did climb a tree...and fell..and get transported to the human world. Of course she wasn't supposed to be there either but..It wasn't her fault!

She opened the door into the office, glancing around at what could easily be described as a war zone. There was slime everywhere, and if she wasn't imaging it..was that a skeleton?? Slowly, ever so slowly, she edged into the room, eyes wide and deer-like as she took in every detail, namely Hellmas office and the big desk in front of her that had a stack of papers on it. And of course the corpses of the gnomes.  

[Miliardo Kason]

Sammy marched into the office without hesitation, the little stint in the human world would indeed have a price and it was hardly a surprise to find a teacher waiting to gather them up and send them to the office. Finding a seat she kicked back admiring the fact she had feet and legs to admire as she waited for someone to rip them a new one.  

[Blade Kuroda]

At least Jericho had managed to help convince Riley otherwise, but now he had other issues at hand here. With a grimace, he made his way to the office for the first time at Amity.

Rubbing his head, he leaned against the wall, trying to relax as much as he could for the sake of his weary body. That was one hell of a run, but now he was ready to crash once he was able to. With any luck, this experience will be relatively painless for everyone involved. Also he could only hope that it wouldn't last too long.

Glancing towards the door, he waited for others to file on in while wondering just what was in store for them all. They had been to the human world without passports. They had even seen the creatures! As well as attempt to scare one of them but that part really didn't work out too well. This in turn made him wonder how they were supposed to scare people if they couldn't even be seen, heard, or felt. He'd have to try and find this out sometime.

Looking over towards Malodore, he frowned as he saw the pup shaking. Poor Luce.

Shaking his head to himself, he just waited for whatever was next for their whole lot.  

[Marushii]

Red raised an eyebrow and quietly passed Professor Tailor her bet, her hand freezing right before she passed it over. "Yes, Headmistress." Red said unhappily. "Tailor here'll pass you the silver, I'll deliver the bottles later once I get my hands on'em." Cheeky students kept trying to break open the lock on her alcohol container.

Besides, she had a detention to get back to. "Back to daycare for me, then." With a nod, she left Hellma's office and pushed back the students starting to trinkle in, arching an eyebrow. It seemed that today was a busy day for trouble.
