Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

Willow’s next words caught in her throat as the blade ran her through; the words were “What are you gonna do, stab me?” Clutching her chest as she fell, she had a jarring revelation of just what kind of situation she was in. She would need to process her revelation later however, as right now she wa...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

Oops. Willow clamped both hands over her mouth as the tea not only struck the professor but also exploded . Even discounting the explosion, because who could have possibly foreseen that, she had been expecting some Matrix bologna or kung fu shenanigans from the slight man. He was practically a god h...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

“It’s only more work for you if you decide to not let me loiter for free. See? I’m trying to paint the better option for me as the easier option for you. It’s like brain chess,” the teen called cheerfully as she leaned forward on the table, resting her chin on a propped-up arm as she watched Mister ...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

Willow was on a roll. Not one but two educational sidebars from Mister Caxton without her feeling the need to make a joke. It seemed it helped when the subject matter was somewhat bleak. To Percy’s credit, he did make this one did take an uplifting swing near the end, and even offered Willow one of ...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

Willow listened. Really listened to Percy. Following the explanation and appeal, she didn’t say anything for a few long moments. As she looked between Percy and her satchel, she gave a slight, sad smile. “Probably selfish on my part for thinking I can share the sentiment. My magic doesn’t give me gr...

Re: [The Keep] Walking to Skye

“Combat results are only a concern for us in the Fourth Circle if it causes an interorganizational incident. Sure, some of Master Flynn’s recent exploits have roused groups such as the Boston Consortium, but that is their problem to get over; we simply field their complaints much as we usually do,” ...

Re: [The Keep] Walking to Skye

Much the same as she’d done when surprised by Bowie, Brooke yelped and tried not take an elbow to the face as Drysi clambered over her. Jovial laughter came from the other druids, which Brooke joined before long, as well as a few comments about how amusing it was watching new druids and their famili...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

Should you spend too much time here, you will find yourself outpacing your friends. Was what was said, but what Willow heard was: Get two weeks of training in during her lunch break. Smiling momentarily, the expression shifted to a grimace as Willow made a horrifying discovery. She’d somehow gone a...

Re: [The Dorms] A Perilous Acquaintance

Where Bjorn expressed shock and awe, Willow merely rolled her eyes at the demonstration. After giving her companion a reassuring look, she turned and sat down across from Percy before collecting tea of her own. She imagined she must look a proper mess, and removed the handkerchief from beneath her h...

Re: [The Keep] Walking to Skye

“Welcome to the Druid Order. Serving up mysteries and subterfuge since time unwritten,” Claudia drolled, to which a number of druids around the table gave somewhat dejected nods. “Chances are, whatever the cause was, it’s kept secret because they don’t want to the public to know how a big shot Keepe...
