Clocktower RP: Witch of the Clocktower

[Bl4ckwolf]

Gabriel reacted in a flurry of motion, everyone had their eyes on the demon that had taken Corneila he almost hissed at the accursed creature but instead reacted using his magic. With their attentions distracted he applied runes of sleep to back of both Fayline and Marcel’s neck and Emily who’s expression was fairly confused he used his command magic on Emily who was to high strung at this point to actually noticed what was happening and was affected by it in a second she slumped to the ground. As he finished he brushed his hands looking at the demon that had allowed shade to escape. “Now its just you and me demon.” He reached into his bag withdrawing a book. With a grim smile he opened the book and with an infusion of prana he pulled out the hilt of a black key. In his other hand he pulled out a set of keys. “Think you can take me?” he asked with an eyebrow raised and a dark look in his eyes.

"?" Desire looks around not understanding what was happening "Huh? I don't understand what you plan to do, bu-?!" suddenly he feels his body reacting strangely at the magus glare "Whaat?" his body was trying to revert back to his original form, his body was becoming too unstable, finally his eyes open wide has the sees the black keys "Shit!" he throws Cornelia at Gabriel's direction "To think the Executor would be here already....tch!" Desire body's starts to change back to its white bat form and uses the moment gained from throwing Cornelia to fly right pass Gabriel in an attempt to escape.



In his room Rack grins as he sees the Executor's face "How interesting, to think I showed my powers in front of him. Hmmmm its seems this school is really starting to spike my interest."

[Bl4ckwolf]

Gabriel caught Cornelia, and was just about to the his black key at the retreating bat, but he end up staying his throw not wanting to risk losing a black key, especially not here of all places. He replaced the Black key into its hiding space and went to each of them individually he applied a rune to each of them, and his own power to make certain that none of them would remember what up after that damned demon made his appearance "****ing demon, I will purify you and if it is him, that is doing this I will cleanse him with fire." Finishing his work he began waking each of them up in turn ending with Fayline shaking her gently he pulled her into his lap. He wasn't blind afterall and it might be better to user her affections for him especially with the executor thing floating around he whispered to her "Hey wake up"

[Prisma*Illya]

Fayline opened her eyes and was immediately stunned by the sight of Gabriel leaning over her. Her eyes widened as she felt her head resting on her lap, and her cheeks turned pink.

"Gabriel..." she said, staring up at him with large blue eyes. "What happened?"

She couldn't remember anything after seeing Shade's figure suddenly waver and disappear.

"Well that thing got away," Marcel said, rubbing his head as he looked at the spot where Shade had been. "What was it doing in here anyway?"

Fayline sighed, knowing she couldn't avoid sharing the truth with all of them. Still, she didn't seem to be making a move from her place on Gabriel's lap.

"You can sit up now," Marcel said with a sour look. Fayline stuck out her tongue and sat up.

"Thanks," she said quietly to Gabriel with a little smile before standing up. She looked from Marcel to Cornelia to Emily to Gabriel and finally the dead body lying visible in the doorway of the other room.

"Is there a place where we can all talk? I think we should get out of here before the Vice-Director's interrogation squad shows up."

[jorgiguel]

"Ouch." Cornelia said while patting her back neck as if wake up "What the heck was that?........" Cornelia wonders what she saw, she definitely saw two exact people, but at the same time not the same, who ever the first Shade was, he was a magus with low Magic Circuits, however, the other one, despite looking exactly the same, he was completely unaffected by Field. As Cornelia thinks about it she lifts up and when she hears Fayline's question, she immediately sees the opportunity "We could go to my Workshop if you want."



Desire flys his way at top speed, finally reaching Rack's room, "Hmmm, so you returned? Well its not that bad, we gained valuable information tonight, so you can rest." Rack was sitting there looking through the window, he was only missing the arm corresponding to Desire, "Well I must say that from what Memory said I'm going to have nightmares tonight at seeing the girl Rin's memory."

[Prisma*Illya]

The group made their way to Cornelia's workshop and settled themselves in, all waiting for Fayline.

"Well, you all saw that I was late to class today," she began, looking at them. She knew she could get in trouble for this, but figured that they all had a right to know.

"I had a meeting with the Vice-Director because of an incident last night. I was there when that same thing killed someone and stole something silver from his hand. I guess it must have been just like that key he took today. I fought him, but he escaped. The Vice-Director seemed to know what those keys meant, and is investigating, but..."

She looked at all of them to gauge their reactions. What she was going to say could be dangerous.

"Well as you can see they're not exactly doing a good job of it so far. I think that might be because...because someone involved with the investigation is deliberately sabotaging things. So I've decided to investigate this thing myself."

She looked and saw Marcel watching her, shaking his slightly with a resignated look.

----------------

Shade slowly made his way toward his destination. He had already delivered the key, much to his Master's pleasure, and was now heading toward the room of a certain student.

"Greetings," Shade said, poking his head out of the ceiling above Rack. He suddenly dropped all the way through, landing gracefully on the floor with his hands resting on his cane.

"You certainly are an interesting case," he said, cocking his head to the side. "Why did you decide to send one of your demons to assist me?"

[Bl4ckwolf]

Gabriel had followed them back to Cornelia's workshop and stood with a mostly passive face through out the proceedings in truth he had no real care for the dealings of mages, let them kill each other for all he cared, they were doing him a favouring and sparing him some effort, what really got him all gung ho about this idea of Fayline's was the fact that it had been seen that demon worshiper was helping the perpetrator and that would most definitely give him a chance to well put him to the question. He smiled at Fayline when she had finished and inclined his head "I would be most happy to help you in anyway I can." Emily off in her corner was looking frightfully scared but she took courage and said quick "I want to help!" before retreating back to her corner.

[jorgiguel]

"Fu..." Cornelia was mostly around the mess of a Workshop, this is probably the first time she actually looked at the chaos of her room, picking notes, files, books and bottles with brains, she was mostly just trying to put some order for the guests, however she was listening very carefully to what Fayline was saying "Basically your saying someone with enough power and credibility to fool the Mage Association is behind this? I doubt the Mage Association would be tha......." Suddenly she turns around "Actually, let me help you with anything you need." she declared happily.



"You ask why huh?....Hmmmm, hard to say, I guess I just felt like it......" Rack smiles and then sits in his bed "Well If you really must know, I just made calculations, your survival would grant a dozen of interesting situations, while if you were to die, the interesting things rate would drop dramatically." Rack shrugs while closing his eyes and smiling, as if there was nothing that worried him at the moment.

[Prisma*Illya]

Marcel gave a skeptical look at Cornelia as he folded his arms.

"What's with the sudden change of heart?" he said. He didn't wait for a reply as he turned to Fayline.

"As much as I'd like to say 'no' and forget this whole thing happened, I feel like you won't leave me alone unless I help," he said, putting on a grumpy face.

"Aww, Marcel! I know that's your way of saying you want to help too," Fayline said, winking at him. He turned scarlet and looked away, mumbling under his breath. Fayline turned to the others and nodded, looking pleased.

"It's settled then! The Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad is now in action! Cornelia, can you dig up as much information as possible on the teachers? Marcel, see if you can dig up any information on those silver keys. Emily, do you think you can try to spy on some of the teachers between classes? And, Gabriel, do you think you could set up a boundary field inside that courtyard with the fountain? That seems to be the assassin's main route."

She grinned as everyone spoke their consent and conversed about what to do.

"We'll meet tomorrow then in spiritual evocation class to discuss our findings," Fayline ended. With the meeting ended, SEES disbanded for the night.

--------------

Shade threw back his head and laughed.

"I see, I see!" he said happily, crossing his arms over his cane and resting his head on them. "You really are a unique individual. I rather like you, Mr. Morto. Or may I call you Rack? I feel like we can be good to each other, you and I."

It was not strange that Shade was talking to magi other than his Master at Clocktower. After all, his secondary mission was to convert potential apprentices for his Master. But strangely enough he had not mentioned Rack to his Master. He did not know if his Master knew of Rack already, or why he was starting to act outside his original purposes, but he found that he was not concerned. For now, this was his little secret, and he planned to keep it that way.

END DAY

[Prisma*Illya]

The next day, the members of SEES went about their appointed tasks. As planned, they came to spiritual evocation prepared to discuss what they had unearthed. Fortunately, they had a more hands-on class for them.

"Today you will be using these ether clumps," Alistair said, passing them out to the students. "to produce slime familiars. These are the most basic types of summons you can make. I expect all of you to make at least one by the end of the class."

The students began to talk amongst themselves as they worked on the ether clumps. SEES was all seated by each other, so they immediately formed a circle to talk as Alistair began to read at his desk.

"So, what did you guys find?" Fayline asked, looking at the other members. Her eyes fell to Cornelia first.
