Thread: Nebula Academy: Search for the Chosen Ones (Start Up)

"All right." Jared smiled. "Let's do it." He said and looked at the others before turning to Alice.

"It means exactly what you think it means." Dirk said with a cheeky grin. "I dont like to lose."

"You go," Alice commented, "I'll stay here."

"Unless they can use swords with proficiency, you will." Ciana said, giving him a sly smirk.

"Eh, their magic is far superior to ours." Calvin said.

"Oh... right." Ciana said, hanging her head dejectedly.

"How about the teachers duel then?" Dirk offered. "After Ellery and Jared I mean." He added. "You and I Ciana. Just blades. Winner is the best with a sword at the academy."

"Gladly." Ciana said, smiling. "I've been wanting a real duel for awhile anyways."

"You don't wanna come see me." Jared pouted.


Alistair smiled as he saw people enjoying themselves at the reception while he held Claudia. "Looks like everything worked out."

"I'm not feeling well," Alice commented, "I apologize."

Rose smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Dear Alistair," she replied as she held a now sleeping Gale.

"Excellent." Dirk nodded. "I'll just need to borrow a training blade." He said before gently handing Amber to Daphne.

"You owe me." Daphne muttered.

"It's good that he fell asleep." Alistair smiled at her.

"Okay." Jared smiled and kissed Alice. "I'll be back soon okay." he smiled. "Where's Kuroki though?"

"No idea," Alice noted, "Probably eating."

Rose nodded and giggled. Claudia just looked up at Alistair.

"I have several from which you can choose." Ciana said. "They're old blades I've collected that have lost their cutting edge."

Kuroki was chasing a hopping umbrella with an eyeball. "Get back here!" She yelled, pouncing on what is quite clearly a fellow Yokai. "Tasukete! Tasukete! Kono hijōshikina neko kara watashi o sukuu!*" The "umbrella" yelled with no visible mouth as the nekomata started to bite. "Atashi wa hijōshiki janai! Anata dake no gaichū da!*" Kuroki spat out, and started to shake the thing and smack it on the ground a few times.

Zephyr just facepalmed.

((* Save me! Save me! Save me from this insane cat!))
((* I'm not insane! You're just a pest!))

"Works for me." Dirk said. He'd know which blade felt right in his hands.

"Well, whenever you're ready, just say the word and Gardevoir can teleport you." Ciana said, scratching a itch. "Ooh, this thing is tormenting me! I can't take it anymore!"
