NISA School for the Magical Artes (11/24 Tuesday)

[Necrofantasia]

Holly's eyes twinkled. Quick as a flash she seized the young man's hand and vigorously shook it.

"Name's Holly Walker. Nice to meet ya, Bernie. Got a maid, do you?" She sized up Heloise.

"Must've cost you a pretty penny; this car too, I'll bet. Don't suppose it'll be 'Sir' Bernie to me, eh?"

There was something odd about the girl's handshake. It was like she was trying too hard to be gregarious. Oh well. I guess there are worse things than this. Drawing his hand back, Bernard remarked "Well aren't we friendly? And that accent...Liverpool, if I'm not mistaken?"

"The name's Rin Lightfoot," Rin answered nonchalantly staring in the other direction, "there's someone flying above us?"

The cat is disappointed? Wistful? I can't tell. If nothing else, she seems to have some epicurean ideal, even a hedonistic one. Oh well.

Turning to his passengers, Bernard stated "I was originally planning to take cover in that forest over there. If someone is flying after us, that might be the best option. Are there any objections to this plan? We can return to the school once everyone is a bit less fired up."

[vampko]

"Sure, whatever," Rin still maintained her melancholy look as she said this.

Holly shrugged, neither confirming nor denying his observation.

"I'm just naturally friendly, mate." She cocked her head to the side, studying him.

"So what's your thing, then? What can you do? I know that firebug over there can light stuff up. So how 'bout you, doc? After all, we're all here for a reason."

[MizuMikomi]

Alana, still running, took a quick glance behind her and noticed the angry mob closing in on her. "W-what should I do!?" She she yelled out in fear.

She started to look around for a place where she could possibly hide from the mob, when she spotted a forest off in the distance. "Perfect!" She exclaimed as she made a mad dash forward, and dove into a bush near the front of the tree line.

[Necrofantasia]

"So what's your thing, then? What can you do? I know that firebug over there can light stuff up. So how 'bout you, doc? After all, we're all here for a reason."

"Hm? Oh, as you might have guessed, I'm a doctor in training. I can use healing and holy magic, which will come in handy if you ever get hurt, possibly from an angry mob or if the school is haunted." Bernard shrugged. "As for why I'm here overall? I have my reasons." He glanced over at Heloise. "It appears we're getting close to our destination."

A healer?! Holly's eyes widened a fraction.

I'll have to keep this one close. She glanced out the window. They were truly in the forest now, and trees lined either side of the road. Bernard had fallen silent again, and the mood in the car was depressing. Holly turned her attention to the kid with the ears.

"Hey, moggy. Why the long face?"

[vampko]

She glanced in Holly's direction, "it's just not the experience my mom said it would be...and, there's that girl hiding in that bush too...I'm really tempted...but...Oh whatever!" She rolled down the window, and pointed her finger towards the bush the girl was hiding in, and suddenly the bush lit up in flames. The sight brought a smile to her face.

Alana shot out of the burning bush, screaming. "FIIIIIIRE!!!!" She jumped back a few feet and aimed the palm of her hand towards it. Her hand let out a bright blue flash and completely froze the bush in it's place. "T-thats.. better." she said with a sigh of relief.

She then made her way deeper into the forest, hoping to avoid anyone else noticing her.

[Necrofantasia]

The car continued into the forest and Bernard paused to rest his eyes and reflect on what happened. This is all a terrible dream, isn't it? I'm in the car with a pyromaniac cat and a British girl who likely has something to hide. Maybe they can be useful to me. If nothing else, they're good comic relief.

He then noticed Rin setting a nearby bush on fire. "Oh come on! I know you like fire, but I'm drawing the line at 'things that might get us all killed.' Try to be a little more responsible about this. Croyez-vous ceci..." Bernard paused and collected himself. "Do you believe this is a game? You are a student at a magic academy, not a child with matches."

[Empty Overture]

"Augh...dammit. What is with this racket?" a boyish looking girl groaned to herself. She was leaning against a tree, gripping a peculiar fruit rather tightly. She looked around and spotted a car driving by, followed by a few minutes later, a girl trying to hide in the woods. "Ugh...I try to ditch, and the morons decide to crash my relaxation...this is why I hate..." she sighed. "Hey! Girly. What are you doin' out in these parts?" she shouted.

[Quillbell]

She rolled down the window, and pointed her finger towards the bush the girl was hiding in, and suddenly the bush lit up in flames. The sight brought a smile to her face.

Holly raised an eyebrow.

This one seems a little unhinged.

"Oh come on! I know you like fire, but I'm drawing the line at 'things that might get us all killed.' Try to be a little more responsible about this. Croyez-vous ceci..." Bernard paused and collected himself. "Do you believe this is a game? You are a student at a magic academy, not a child with matches."

Holly said nothing as she watched the french boy rant. Once he'd finished his speech, she spoke up.

"This is all very interesting, but were are we going exactly?"

[Nazou]

Fiore almost couldn't see the car anymore when the truck made a turn and forced him into the sky. for a brief moment while gaining altitude he lost the vehicle but managed to cacth a glimpse of it going into the woods. "great, a forest. guess I'll just have to look for them on foot." with that he landed of the entrance to the forest and started running tryng to follow the tracks of the tires.

[Necrofantasia]

"This is all very interesting, but were are we going exactly?"

Holly was a rather inquisitive lass. "Well, mademoiselle, we are going to the place where I would have liked to live had the academy not required everyone to live in the dorms." Heloise seemed taken aback at the revelation. "Wait, we're going there?"

Bernard nodded. "Indeed we are. This splendid little forest, which is apparently now going to be like the Charred Vale, is the back road there." Heloise seemed satisfied at this and drove with a bit more conviction than before.

[MizuMikomi]

"Hey! Girly. What are you doin' out in these parts?" she shouted.

Alana stopped in her tracks and turned around to see who was talking to her. "Y-you, mean me? I... was r-running from the fire... and the m-mob." she then turned around, and slowly started to make her way deeper into the forest. "F-fire.... mob.... must find quiet place." She muttered under her breath.

She muttered under her breath.

"Fire? A mob? Oh you have got to be..." the girl face palmed, and propelled herself off the tree she was leaning on. She then ran after Alana, "What are you talking about?! You actually lead people who have fire into a forest?! That's just...augh! ...Atleast I know today won't be boring..." the girl said harshly. "...my name's Emilia. Where are you headed anyways?" she asked.
