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

Emilia motioned Leyka to follow, as she opened the door. "Um, hi... again." she greeted upon entering the room.

"Mom!? Weren't you supposed to...go home?" Leyka said, shock on her face.

"Seriously? How hard is it to lie to Shana," Yun laughed. "So, you're going to take this class? Or were you just curious?" Yun questioned the two.

He sighed, "Fine, if you insist" he said, standing up, as he made his way into the kitchen, stopping shortly, as he looked up, and said, "Oh, all of you are here".

"Oh hi...person. Who are you?" Rin stared at the young man in confusion.

"Seriously? How hard is it to lie to Shana," Yun laughed. "So, you're going to take this class? Or were you just curious?" Yun questioned the two.

What do I say? ...um... Emilia scratched her head for a moment. "We... were just curious." she replied, sounding a little hesitant. Why'd I pause? ...maybe I'm nervous? "...it might be fun to take it though. What do you think, Leyka?" she asked. It's just Leyka's mom. ...oh, that's probably exactly why, now that I think about it...

Selene brightened with the food on the table (I assume that the food is on a table, with the bourgeois manor and all), and she sat as far away from Naomi as possible before beginning to eat.

"Those are some very wise words." Pierce said with a chuckle. Interesting move... however, that rook... He moved his bishop right infront of the rook, blocking it's path. Daring to take out the bishop would put the rook in harms way, as another piece was sitting, ready to take it down. "I take it that you enjoy being in our service?" he asked.

Ekaterina moved a bishop to aim around the blockage once more.
"Check."
If the bishop took her bishop, then her rook would have the opponent King in check still. So, her bishop was protected, she thought.

"Enjoy it, Master? I belong to you and your son. Serving your family is my- our raison d'être, reason for existence. Without the two of you to serve, we would have no reason to live. We are your property, your slaves, your toys, your lovers, your friends, and anything else that you require us to be. We will find pleasure in it if you wish us to, because what you say is law."

Interesting move... he programmed these girls better than I thought. "Hm. Quite a nice answer." Pierce commented. Absolutely anything? Hm. Perhaps I could get them to do more... They do seem quite eager to help out... perhaps I could train them to help with all of this blasted paperwork. It piles up way too fast... perhaps they'll even have a use during the tournament. She's providing a use right now... Heheh, Cero, this certianly was a better bargain than you made it out to be.

Pierce observed the board, and he noticed one miniscule flaw in Ekaterina's plan. He'd have to pull it now. He used the tactic known as castling and had his rook and king swap places, completely defending his king from all attack at the moment. "You appear to be improving." he complimented.

"Ah yes, I did have another question. Considering you two will be in our service for quite a long time, I was curious if there were any particular types of missions you prefered to do. I'm a successful man, and you don't reach this level without taking a few suggestions. So I'm open to any, if you have some."

[Rydux]

"Oh hi...person. Who are you?" Rin stared at the young man in confusion.

Ciel sighed, placing a hand on his brow, "Unbelievable, you torch my hair, go into frozen labs together, interrogate you regarding your 'special predicament',attend classes together, and you haven't had the decency to even memorized my face? You never cease to amaze me". He turned, and realized the presence of Selene and said, "Oh, hey Danger Girl," he glanced towards Naomi, "I take it you succeeded in saving your sister?" he asked her.

Richter wandered across the halls, thinking of te next class to attend "I guess I can attend Fortinbraz's class again, and get better at my reinforcement in whatever way I can" he muttered. He lowered his head and pondered, But getting stronger isn't the only issue here,I need to learn how to combat against mages...Richter then recalled meeting Rin's mother the previous day, and the subject she had taught. Her class my provide further insight... Having determined his next course of action, he looked forward and grinned, "Mrs. Lightfoot's class it is then~" he said cheerfully, and proceeded to walk.

Ekaterina went ahead with taking the rook that swapped places with the King using her bishop.
"Thank you, Master."

Ekaterina pondered the question.
"I will do whatever Master orders me to do, whether that is eliminating his competition or attending to him in the bedroom. However, though my body is suited to many differing tasks, my magic is not. Vibration Magic, as I use it, is effective in physical confrontations, as I evidenced by putting one of those ex-workers into the critical care unit of a nearby hospital."

Pierce had to think about those words for a moment. "Ohohoo! Now then, I should be telling you now that I won't be needing any help in the bedroom. Unless it's getting you two to fetch me a late night drink." he explained with a laugh. "I'll keep in mind your abilities when it comes to assignments, but not everything is solved with magic. Many people do many great things without having to rely on such silly concepts." he stated.

"Ah yes, as an add-on to the previous question. Do you have any requests for me, as your master, at this point? Even 'servants' are permitted to request things from their masters. Masters don't need to oblidge, but they can if they're feeling kind." he explained. He then moved his other rook, which had not been moved yet, and took the bishop.

[JerichoDeath]

"Very well, Master. I will remember not to wear any provocative underwear when getting you a drink at night, or any other nighttime order that you see fit to give. Should I wear such underwear when attending the Young Master? I am uninformed of his tastes, if he were to act in such a manner."
Ekaterina calmly responded.
"Of course, Master. I was merely describing the one factor that determines my suitability for certain assignments."

Ekaterina felt that the board game's flow had changed enough for her to take the enemy Queen with her knight.
"I am sure that Master is perfectly capable of deciding anything and everything that I need to have... but if I may, I would like to ask for more missions with the Young Master, if I could. I am sure that Mia would ask the same."

"Oh... hi, I remember you--- I threatened you, right?" Alana questioned, "Hmm, probably not the best way to remember someone..." she laughed sheepishly.

[Rydux]

"Oh... hi, I remember you--- I threatened you, right?" Alana questioned, "Hmm, probably not the best way to remember someone..." she laughed sheepishly.

Ciel turned to her, "Better than being utterly forgotten after seeing one another several times" he sighed, "Not that I care, just seems rather far fetched you would forget someone so easily" he looked up, aiming a thumb towards the ceiling, "Anyhow, the Spirit there keeps pestering me to eat, may I join?" he asked.

Richter looked at his schedule, smiling cheerfully, as he tried to figure out where Mrs. Shana's class is at, only to realize "...Her class is only in the evenings" he sighed, and continued walking forward. "Great, what class do I go now?"

Alana shrugged, "I suppose so." she stated plainly, "Wait... what? A spirit? Well-- I don't know anything about a spirit, but-- feel free to join us, there's plenty to go around." she said with a smile.

Pierce laughed for a moment. "Haha, I guess you'll have to try and see! Not even I know his tastes." he suggested with a smile.

Pierce continued to smirk as he observed the board. He moved another pawn.
"I suppose I should be fine with assigning you two on more missions with him, as long as the report I get about him is a good one." he replied.

[JerichoDeath]

Ekaterina took Pierce at his word in a more literal sense than he probably meant.
"Very well, Master. I will visit a lingerie shop when I have time to do so."

Ekaterina viewed the board once more. Although her forces were not decimated -yet- she had no immediate attack routes. She captured a pawn to set up for an attack on the rook that was protecting the enemy King.
"Thank you, Master. What else would you like to talk about? Or I can be silent now, if you like."

"Well, yeah.
... wait. You're still calling me that?"
Selene paused while eating to talk.
