The once and future Harem

[Zevox]

"The breaths won't help. Corpses can't breathe!"

Sophia sighs. "There are no corpses. There won't be any. Everyone is fine, and calm. The breaths are to help you calm down. Try it."

[Illven]

Floris blushes deeply once her outermost layer is gone. "I've never been this exposed in public," she confesses, lacing up Maya from behind. She is now clad in a collarbone-to-ankle black dress with long sleeves, a conservative dress by basically anyone's standards, but Floris's embarrassed glances could have been from someone entirely naked. It is at least now possible to guess her proportions. "You look lovely!" She says to Maya.

So do you. Maya comments averting her eyes to protect Floris's modesty.

Do you want me to try and conjure you another dress

Sophia sighs. "There are no corpses. There won't be any. Everyone is fine, and calm. The breaths are to help you calm down. Try it."

She breaths in slowly, and while it's helping a tiny amount, it doesn't really seem to be fixing the problem.

[Illven]

Are you an anime fan? No? Well then, I guess this reference is going to be lost on you then.

She reaches into her shirt and pulls out her tarot cards.

Because it is time to call upon the HEART OF THE CARDS!!!

You whip out the cards of truth, and you pull out the inverted ten of cards, telling you that Mary is in math class!

You take your transport as he hustles to math class, where you look in and see a bored looking Mary.

Obviously, you need to warn the class about the awakening sorceress!

[Zevox]

She breaths in slowly, and while it's helping a tiny amount, it doesn't really seem to be fixing the problem.

Sophia sighed. Of course this was going to be hard. And it wasn't like she was a psychologist or anything... "Okay, so..." she said, thinking a moment before snapping her fingers, conjuring a little stress ball in the shape of a star on the ground right in front of Ms. Shawels. "Grab that and squeeze, see if it helps. If it does, maybe try sitting up?" she suggested, hoping she could at least get the woman to just look around and see that nothing was happening anymore.

[Xihirli]

Floris's eyes widened in fascination. "You can do that? Can we match?"

[Lentrax]

Brooklyn hops off her transport, then pulls a permanent marker out of the pocket of her uniform jacket. She writes her phone number on it.

Message me about those English lessons, okay?

She then turns and goes into Mary's math class, without bothering to knock. And then, also without invitation, she starts talking.

Hey, just so everyone knows, there is a second sorceress awakening outside right now, so, don't panic, but things are gonna get crazy for a bit.

She then walks over to the window, hops up onto the sill, opens it up and starts smoking while looking over toward where the crazy stuff is happening.

Oh, and don't worry. No one is gonna die or anything. Just some cuts and bruises, three women will go into premature labor, and one older guy will need a new pacemaker, but I don't see any death in this.

She takes another drag on the cigarette.

Oh, and a couple of people will need some serious therapy.

[Illven]

She squeezes it so hard, it practically breaks. [Roll me a luck check DC 4]

Floris's eyes widened in fascination. "You can do that? Can we match?"

I.... can try... Maya offers.

"Wait.... wait seriously." The professor starts, going pale for a moment.

"Everyone under the desk." He instructs, his monocle falling to the ground in shock.

[AvatarVecna]

She visibly inspects you.

"I didn't see any of the sorcerers magic impact you, so I'll leave to you, would you like to go to the infirmly."

Morrigan gives her an odd look. "I'm not really hurt, it just took me off-guard. Thanks for the save."

[Xihirli]

"Oh. Well, if it's difficult, I'd rather you not try after straining yourself so much. If it were easy there would have been no reason for me to give you my dress!" Floris reminds her. "When the curtain of darkness comes down, the eyes of the underworld will open," she says casually.

[Lentrax]

Pretty sure, yes. There is some crazy magic stuff going on. But our first sorceress is helping, hence the nobody dying.

Brooklyn turns to look over at Mary. She smiles.

Hi. Came to make sure you get through it okay.

[Illven]

Sophia sighed. Of course this was going to be hard. And it wasn't like she was a psychologist or anything... "Okay, so..." she said, thinking a moment before snapping her fingers, conjuring a little stress ball in the shape of a star on the ground right in front of Ms. Shawels. "Grab that and squeeze, see if it helps. If it does, maybe try sitting up?" she suggested, hoping she could at least get the woman to just look around and see that nothing was happening anymore.

She squeezes it so hard, it seems it might break. "I.... think I'm a little calmer now...." She remarks looking at the ground.

Morrigan gives her an odd look. "I'm not really hurt, it just took me off-guard. Thanks for the save."

"Alright, I shall leave you to your friends. Farewell." She beams before walking off.

"Oh. Well, if it's difficult, I'd rather you not try after straining yourself so much. If it were easy there would have been no reason for me to give you my dress!" Floris reminds her. "When the curtain of darkness comes down, the eyes of the underworld will open," she says casually.

Maya focuses for a moment, but instead of a dress out pops a shirt.

Sorry, object creation is hard.

[Illven]

Pretty sure, yes. There is some crazy magic stuff going on. But our first sorceress is helping, hence the nobody dying.

Brooklyn turns to look over at Mary. She smiles.

Hi. Came to make sure you get through it okay.

"I hope you don't think I'll need therapy~" She teasingly winks getting up out of her seat.

[Lentrax]

Only for a bad romance... hopefully not because of me.

[Xihirli]

"I'm really fine," Floris insists, but holds the shirt. "I'll treasure it always, thank you. If you're feeling better, Miss, we should all get somewhere safe!"

[Illven]

Only for a bad romance... hopefully not because of me.

"Oh girl, if it was going to be that, it'd already have happened?"

"I'm really fine," Floris insists, but holds the shirt. "I'll treasure it always, thank you. If you're feeling better, Miss, we should all get somewhere safe!"

"I mean I'm pretty sure we are safe.... I'm not pumped full of adrenaline right now, so I have control of my powers." The blonde points out.

[Lentrax]

With a quirked smile of her mouth, Brooklyn winks at her.

We have world enough and time, for that.

[Zevox]

She squeezes it so hard, it seems it might break. "I.... think I'm a little calmer now...." She remarks looking at the ground.

"Good, that's good," Sophia says, trying not to sound impatient. "Now, maybe sit up, and take a look around? You'll see, nothing's going on anymore, and there's nothing to worry about. The crane damaged the building some, but nobody's hurt, and everybody's calm and acting perfectly normal."

I mean, do you really think that I'd be here, trying to calm you down, if there was still more important, dangerous stuff going down? she couldn't help thinking to herself.

[Illven]

With a quirked smile of her mouth, Brooklyn winks at her.

We have world enough and time, for that.

"How are you doing? Handling the big change okay?" Mary asks with a warm sigh.

"Good, that's good," Sophia says, trying not to sound impatient. "Now, maybe sit up, and take a look around? You'll see, nothing's going on anymore, and there's nothing to worry about. The crane damaged the building some, but nobody's hurt, and everybody's calm and acting perfectly normal."

I mean, do you really think that I'd be here, trying to calm you down, if there was still more important, dangerous stuff going down? she couldn't help thinking to herself.

"Are you sure the sorceress didn't damage the building?" Ms.Shawels asks nervously

[Lentrax]

"How are you doing? Handling the big change okay?" Mary asks with a warm sigh.

No. I don't know what is going to happen. But I know it is coming, and it still scares me.

She uses the remains of her cigarette to light another without having to pull out her lighter.

I don't know what to do, but what really terrifies me is having to do it alone...

[Illven]

No. I don't know what is going to happen. But I know it is coming, and it still scares me.

She uses the remains of her cigarette to light another without having to pull out her lighter.

I don't know what to do, but what really terrifies me is having to do it alone...

"Anything I can do to help?" Mary offers cautiously.

[Lentrax]

Brooklyn smiles at Mary. She reaches out and touches the girl’s cheek.

Thats sweet of you to ask. But the cards are hazy on this. I sense that someone will be there, but I do not see any details.

She moves her hand to brush back a stray lock of Mary’s hair.

But. I... I do hope you will be there.

[Zevox]

"Are you sure the sorceress didn't damage the building?" Ms.Shawels asks nervously

"Yes - I watched everything happen. It was the crane hitting it that did the damage." Sophia said confidently. Sure, technically the blonde girl had knocked the falling crane aside into the building, but somehow she suspected the subtle nuance of "she was keeping it from landing on her head" as a reason for that would be lost on Ms. Shawels, so she left that detail out.

"You flatter me~" Mary blushes as you touch her hair.

[You are TECHNICALLY not lying. The best kind of not lying. Due to Ms.Shawels scattered brain right now, I will not require a check.]

"Oh.....Any idea why the crane attacked the building?" Ms.Shawels says shakily.

[Lentrax]

And you...

Brooklyn suddenly remembers where she is. She starts to blush as she yanks her hand back.

Sorry... Sorry....

And without another word, she jumps out the window.

[Zevox]

[You are TECHNICALLY not lying. The best kind of not lying. Due to Ms.Shawels scattered brain right now, I will not require a check.]

"Oh.....Any idea why the crane attacked the building?" Ms.Shawels says shakily.

"Well, it fell, obviously," Sophia responded, shrugging. "I think Maya said she thinks the operator fell asleep at the wheel - or whatever cranes have - but I dunno how that works exactly. That's going to be a question for whatever construction company owns the thing to worry about more than us, right?" She offered Ms. Shawels her hand to help her stand up.

[Illven]

And you...

Brooklyn suddenly remembers where she is. She starts to blush as she yanks her hand back.

Sorry... Sorry....

And without another word, she jumps out the window.

Mary moves reflexively trying to stop Brooklyn from jumping.

"You're fine, you're fine. I'll help!" She ensures Brooklyn.

[Lentrax]

No. I'm getting too intimate. I shouldn't. It's just...

[Xihirli]

"I hope you're feeling better, teacher lady who follows Maya around!" Floris says chipperly to Ms. Shawels. "Hi, Sophia!"

[Illven]

No. I'm getting too intimate. I shouldn't. It's just...

"It's fine. I'm choosing to help." Mary beams warmly.

"I hope you're feeling better, teacher lady who follows Maya around!" Floris says chipperly to Ms. Shawels. "Hi, Sophia!"

Ms.Shawel stands up as Sophia helps her to her feet. "Yes, yes. We should call the construction company and report an accident. That's something productive and helpful." She says clearly abit shaken still.

[Lentrax]

Thank you, Mary.

She turns to look toward the scene of the whatever was going on out there.

Wanna go up to the roof and watch it all better?
