    Agnimitra looked to Mx. Lenore. "Uh..and who are you? Th-The dog's name is Beez?" The girl backed up to be next to Lorelei and looked to her best friend. "Maybe you were right, maybe you should've turned the dog to stone." She says, not even trying to hide her voice. She could easily erase Mx. Lenore's memory as well as anyone else's that happened to witness this interaction.

    Lorelei reflexively reaches for her knife in the pocket of her hoodie and she looks to Agni, “I mean, it’s not too late now. Is it?”

    BEEZ // Midnight MC Alpha   Dianemu

    "Oh, please don't we do need him here." Mx. Lenore spoke, calm as ever. "I'm Mx. Lenore, Head of the Gregory Linwell Home. I take it you both have some... special abilities?" They questioned, running a hand over Beez's head. Beez panted, tail wagging slightly. "Yes, his name is Beez, he's one of the two familiars that live here." Beez dipped his head, nodding in affirmation of the Head's statement. He glanced up at Mx. Lenore, grateful they were here now, as their ability was handy in situations where people might end up hurting others- power nullification.


    //I realized I never said what Mx. Lenore's powers and such were; I'm going to make them a form, but remember anyone can rp them!

    Mercy chuckled and slowly headed over to the chair Beau had pulled out for her, comfortably seating herself. The mess in Beau's office was certainly different to Mercy's. Her desk was clean (except for the piles of stuff on the sides) and her office was a bit cluttered, but she felt organised and at home there. Maybe she didn't here mostly because it wasn't her office. "Hey, it's fine. Don't worry about it - mine's a bit messy too." Mercy continued to scan the office before glancing up at Beau. She'd planned on leaving the new arrivals to him and possibly Mx. Lenore if they decided to stay, but as one of the only other teachers in the house maybe she should stick around. "Hey, how about I talk to the new arrivals with you? I didn't for the last lot, or the lot before that- so, um, maybe this time?" Mercy cut herself off. She was making herself sound like a really bad teacher and colleague - she had really recently stopped welcoming the new arrivals, hadn't she? When they were mostly kids, just like she'd been when she was shown into the house. // rudyard


    Callum didn't speak for a moment once Lucie had finished, running her words over in his head. Surprisingly, he didn't find himself annoyed by them. Being one of the oldest students at the House, he didn't like talking to many people - not even Jackson, who also happened to be nineteen. Maybe it was just a stereotype - 'the younger they are, the more annoying' - but it was the reason Callum didn't have any friends within the house. "No, it's not what I meant. But you've got a point. The familiars must find it odd," he agreed, speaking in a normal tone. Callum turned his head to look down at Lucie - he tended to look down at a lot of people, thanks to his odd height which was the only distinguishing feature between him and his twin - and scoffed a little. "If you want to talk, I'm not going to be the one to stop you. Maybe I'll even stay to see the new arrivals, too." Callum had mentally decided to try and make a friend here. It wasn't every day he got an opportunity to just talk to someone - he'd already built up the reputation that he didn't want to be spoken to, and he focused most of his spare time trying to locate Luke. You'd think now the two were over eighteen, it would be easier, but it'd only gotten more difficult since Callum had been put in the house. // maddi



    "speech."



    just a young gun with a quick fuse ——

    Agnimitra looks over to Mx. Lenore. "Yes. I can project and manipulate memories and emotion. The name's Agnimitra Kai." She looks back to Beez and can't help the smile that spreads across her face. "Beez is so cute!" I just wanna hug him all day. Then another bark is heard and she turns to see her pet wolf rounding the corner and shyly poking into the fence. "Oh, did you finish your hunting for the night?" The wolf gives a howl and Agni stands to move over to him. She hugs him and plants a kiss on the wolf's head.


    Hera is now standing behind Mx. Lenore and Beez. She peeks shyly around the head and looks up at him. "A-Are these new arrivals?" The girl asks. Her voice is sweet, yet shaky, small, and quiet. Her pet fox walks over and rubs against Beez with a yip before being called back into the arms of Hera.

    Lorelei growled and said, “You know... Maybe I should just turn you into stone, both of you. So you can have the chance to feel that painful shift from flesh to rock.” She took a step forwards to stand closer to the one who had spoken. “Any last words?”

    MX LENORE // Midnight MC Alpha   Dianemu  

    Mx. Lenore chuckled, "I don't believe we've had someone with those abilities... I take it your friend can turn people to stone?" They turned to the young girl who had come up behimd them, "Yes, Hera, these are the new arrivals, but only if they want to stay. " Their eyes darkened slightly as Lorelei spoke, "I'm afraid I can't let you do that, dear." They said, making a face, "Then I'd have to call in someone who can reverse it, and frankly those witches charge too much for their services!" Mx. Lenore huffed, clearly annoyed thinking about the witches who were only in their profession for the money. "Beez, be a dear and fetch Ms. Mendoza, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Howell." They said, this time to the familiar anxiously waiting at their feet. Turning back to the girls, she spoke again. "I'm not going to force you to come inside, but I think you'd like some of the other students here. You were drawn in for a reason, and I hope the Gregory Linwell home can become a safe place for you two."


    BEEZ // tubig .  

    Beez barked at Mx. Linwell's words, taking off towards the house and disappearing inside. As soon as the familiar was out of sight, he shifted, a quiet popping noise accompanying the transformation. Beez shook off, adjusting the clothes he now wore, then took off up the stairs to Mr. Davies' office. He rapped on the door twice, then opened the door, happy to see two of the teachers he was looking for inside the room. "Hey, you two." He said, resting a hand on the door frame. "Mx. Lenore wants you out to help with the new arrivals," He snorted, "One of them is threatening to turn us to stone." After he spoke, he darted down the hall, calling out "They're out front!" He continued down, finally reaching Mr. Howell's office. He knocked twice, pushing open the door and poking his head into the room. "Mr. Howell?"


    BEAU // tubig .  

    Beau's face crinkled into a smile, knowing Mercy's office was nowhere near as disastrous as his own. "Yes... well, I'm not really used to visitors." He said, setting down the papers and such he had been moving. "Oh, would you? That would be great. Thanks." He looked fondly at the young teacher, he knew she tried her best, and she really was a good influence on the students. "Don't worry, I'm sure you've done plent-" He was cut off by Beez entering the room, asking the two to go outside. "Ah, yes of course, be down in a moment."

    Lorelei reaches into her hoodie pocket and gripped the hilt of her knife. It was given to her a few years ago by an old friend, and she’s come to rely on it at times like this. She looked over to her best friend as if asking her for permission to use the weapon.

    Hera had shrunk further behind Mx. Lenore and shook her head. "No." She whimpered. "Don't hurt me."


    Agnimitra watched as Beez ran off and as Hera shrunk away. Then she looked to Lorelei. "Put the knife away." She says sternly. The girl looks back to Mx. Lenore. "We'd love to stay. And...I'll keep Lorelei in check." She casts a glare to Lorelei.

    A soft smile touched Lucie's lips as she looked up at Callum. She wasn't particularly small—I'm 5'4", thankyouverymuch—but against his height, she would have only reached up to about his chin if she had been standing directly beside him. The smile was a silent acknowledgement of the branch he seemed to be extending toward her, though Lucie had learned not to read too much into anything from anyone. She wasn't a distrusting person by nature. Rather, she had learned to be careful of her own assumptions because of her own innate ability; by touching inanimate objects, she could have a dizzying amount of information about a person if it held some sort of significance to them, but she wasn't always perfect at interpreting the knowledge or putting the pieces together, and she was aware that it could make her jump to conclusions. So she always chose to take things at face value—and keep her hands mostly covered when she could, as she was doing right then, her sweater sleeves stretched over them. "I don't think you'll have to wait very long," Lucie said, hearing the noise of the commotion carry over the garden. "I'm surprised there are two of them. They look like they know each other already. One looks ready to fight. Do you think she'll actually?" She cocked her head curiously as she regarded the arrivals, figuring that she and Callum were too shadowed by the big house and the adults that were standing in front of the two girls.

    "speech."

    Lorelei glances behind the stranger with the prickling feeling of someone watching her. She was just about able to make out the figures of two others standing beside each other. At this point she was more annoyed then scared and her unnerving dark green gaze locked with the shorter one. She nodded slightly to show that she knew they were there. Then looking towards the taller one standing by them and doing the same. She still kept her fingers gripped tightly on the hilt of the knife in her hoodie pocket, but she could feel herself calming down. Even so, she kept her expression completely blank and clouded her emotions.

    // Interacting with maddi and tubig .

    Mercy smiled. She didn't really want to talk to the new arrivals - every lot was different - but she'd offered and now she'd stick it through. Beau looked tired, anyway. It seemed like the least she could do for a worker so stressed. She was about to speak when Beez entered the room, requesting both she and Beau go down to Mx. Lenore. Mercy nodded with a polite smile, then pushed her chair back and stood up. "Well, I've been doing my best to teach, if that counts as plenty," she responded to the sentence Beau had been saying before he was cut off, then nodded her head toward the door. "Shall we go? I don't want to keep them all waiting." // rudyard


    Callum narrowed his eyes at her question. With his glasses on, he could easily see the girls. With little to no hesitation, Callum began to recite the situation. "She's threatening Mx. Lenore with her powers. Can't figure out what said powers are, but doesn't look like she'll do anything without the other girl's permission," Callum answered, trying to keep the information he'd gathered just by thinking about the situation to a minimum. The good thing about his intuitive aptitude 'power' is that if he said the right things, nobody could tell if he was using his powers or just being very observant. Callum actually had a few good guesses at the magic those girls possessed, but the wizard wasn't going to voice them aloud. Besides, what if he turned out to be wrong? Callum hated being wrong. At the eye contact the girl made with him, Callum raised one eyebrow, but kept a neutral expression. If she decided to talk to him later, he'd slip away as fast as possible. "I don't think she'd get very far. Mx. Lenore could probably stop her before she did anything, anyway." Callum shrugged, folding his arms. // maddi   Dianemu


    Megan was wandering the streets. It was night, and only being twelve, it wouldn't be long before her father rang her phone - her phone. Groaning, Megan remembered how she'd left it at the hospital with Thomas. Oh, well. She'd head home soon. That's what she thought, anyway - it wasn't long before she came across two girls and an adult, in conversation. Curiosity got the better of her, and Megan approached, stuffing her hands into the pocket of her brown jacket. When she was next to the girl who seemingly had a weapon out, she raised a hand in greeting to the adult with a smile. "Hey, uh, is everything okay over here? Nobody's injured?" // Dianemu   Midnight MC Alpha


    Reece had just finished marking the last set of work, putting it in the neat pile with an exhale. He felt like the only teacher who ever marked anything on time, or required full attention from his students unless one was unhappy. Still, he knew that wasn't true. Ms. Mendoza and Mr. Davies were just as competent teachers as he was - they were all good at their jobs, if in different ways. Reece leaned back in his chair, undoing the top button of his white button-up shirt with a sigh. He'd go to bed as soon as the new arrivals were dealt with. It was only a matter of time before Beez then knocked on his door, opening it. The familiar 'Mr. Howell' caused Reece to look over, waving lazily. "Hey, Beez. What's up?" // rudyard



    "speech."



    just a young gun with a quick fuse ——

    BEEZ // tubig .

    Beez pushed the door open further, "Mx. Lenore wants all y'all teachers down out front." He said, then sighing, "New kid's threatening to turn us to stone." This happened occasionally, new arrivals being spooked, or just being generally volatile. They were lucky Mx. Lenore inherited the Linwell's power, other wise there would have been many more incidents. Beez gave the teacher a nod, and spun around walking quickly back downstairs and out the front door. He walked down the porch steps, and stopped just off to the side, not wanting to disturb the scene further out.


    BEAU // tubig .

    Beau smiled, "Yes, that counts. You've done good work here, Mercy." He laid a hand on her shoulder for a moment, before moving to the door, "Uh, yes, let's go." Beau nodded, holding the door open for the other teacher. It was slightly concerning that all of the teachers were being called, when it had been Beau's turn to show around the new kids. But then again, if one of them could turn people to stone it was probably a good idea to have more people. Beau strode quickly down the hall, then down the stairs. He stopped in the entry hall, looking out at the people gathered in the front garden.

    Agnimitra glared at Lorelei. "No! But at least they're allowing us to stay! Even if it's just for the night, do you really want to be sleeping on the ground?!" Then she looks to the few who had come up behind Mx. Lenore. "Oh, great, more people." Then someone came up behind her. "Yes. Everything's fine. No one's injured. Yet..."


    // rudyard   tubig .   maddi (?) Dianemu

    Lorelei sighed, “Yeah, no. I’m turning this guy into a statue.” She looks to Mx. Lenore and her eyes flicker from dark green to stone grey for a moment. Then the adult began to be turned to stone. It rose from their feet up throughout them, making them feel the painful shift from flesh to rock. She knew that they would probably struggle as they felt their inability to move, yet she knew that no one was able to escape the fate. Once it was done, her eyes turned back and she looked to Agni. “That was actually.... Enjoyable.” She laughs and then jokes, “Hey I think I’m turning evil or something.”

    // Interacting with Midnight MC Alpha , rudyard , maddi , and tubig .

    Agni watches this in horror, then she turns to Lorelei. "LORELEI!" She yells at the girl. "You fucking turn him back!" She doesn't doubt Lorelei is turning evil, but she still doesn't like it. She growls and says. "If you don't I'll make you want to. I can tamper with your emotions, remember."

    // Dianemu , Just so you know, things like that I would count as powerplaying. Even though Mx. Lenore can be rped by anyone, I gave them the power to nullify other powers for a reason. In the future please try to refrain from turning other actual characters into stone, and reserve it for training/classes/npc enemies!

    BEEZ //

    Beez watched, eyebrows quirked as the new arrival turned their head of school into stone. He sighed, if the other girl couldn't convince her friend to turn Mx. Lenore back, then Beez would probably bee the one who had to go out into the woods to find a high-level witch who could reverse the effects. New arrival day definitely wasn't Beez's favorite day. Sure, it was nice when they got new students, but it was incidents like these that sometimes made him want to go back to living away from all of the magic users, and spending his time mostly alone.

    // Sorry, her power isn’t that strong so the spell usually wears off in less than a minute. She probably won’t use that power once she figures out what the house is for.
