The Kethencian College of Magic RP (Part 2)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Well, it doesn't have to!" Billy shouts over the din, covering his ears. "Just stay here, with us. I promise that if you give up on the hair, your master will be beaten and this cafeteria will always be open to you."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Gop think you are very nice...Gop stay with you."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Exellent, I'll make you a bed in my room! But first, I need to know something. Are the Divination student really doing anything in their wing, or did you make that up?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"No, they were actually divining....Gop used it to his advantage.....Gop smart like that."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Well, my little friend, I think we better make our way back there. After all, our business is urgent!"

Billy and Gob left the now foodless hall, stomach full of nourishment and hearts brimming with friendship. The other students watched them go, and wondered just what they were going to eat now.

Again, Billy sneaked quietly into the Divination hall, trying to ignore the Gob sized hole in their door. As the pair crept slowly further into the hall, they began to hear rhythmic humming, as if many people were concentrating. Billy found the door the sound originated from, carefully pushed it open, and peeked inside.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Dozens of Students sat in a circle, their eyes glossy and un focused. A purple flame burned slowly in the center. A robed person walked amongst the divining students checking them over.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

It looked very serious. It really did look like every remaining divination student was in there, in some sort of trance. Never the less, Billy too had important business and there seemed to be at least one person awake in there.

Billy opens the door a little wider, and begins silently gesturing and beckoning to the robed person.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The robed person approches slowly.

"What are you doing in here? Did you not read the sign. We are in the midst of divination."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"That's splendid." Billy says in a hushed voice, "I need one."

Billy produces the spider doll, points out the hair, and quietly rattles off the event of the day starting with the dissections and ending with his theory about the enemy.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"That's all well and fine, but what do you want exactly? And please, keep your voice down. We can't risk bothering the students while they're like that."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"I am speaking quietly" Billy say, lowering his voice even more, "I was hoping you could scry the hair in this doll, so that we could find out more about the person who attacked the school. Normally I would not interrupt like this, but the enemy has already attempted to dispose of this doll, so I believe time is of the essence."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Well, it will have to wait a little longer. As you can see all the students are otherwise preoccupied." The robed figure gestures at the circle of students.

"And I must remain here to watch over them, but......there might be a way."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"I'm sorry. I really would not be here if I did not think the situation urgent. What way?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The figure gulps and says in a strange voice "Our Student Head...." The figure shivers and points to an unmarked door. "She's up there. She's....well.....different. We tend not to bother her."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Billy Smiles wide and gives the diviner a silent but spirited thumbs up to show he understands.

As Billy walks toward the door, Gob also gives the diviner a smile and thumbs up, though his smile is a little disquieting.

As he catches up with Billy, the necromancer is already rapping on the student heads door and composing himself to meet this "different" girl.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The door opens at Billy's touch to reveal a dark room. Within, a small table is set up. Two chairs were placed opposite each other around the table. One was empty, the other was not.

In the other chair sat, or rather was propped, what looked to be a withered corpse.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"What is this?" Billy asked aloud. He and Gob entered, and Billy began to examine the body.

"Who would just leave a corps like this unattended to!" Billy asked Gop, genuine outrage coating his every word. "I mean, honestly, the nerve of some people. I've half a mind to find the owner of this room and give them a piece of my mind. This is unacceptable!"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The "corpse" suddenly twitched. it's mouth fell open and released a could of smoke. The cloud hung in the air for a second before being drawn back into the mouth and nostrils. Suddenly the corpse was no longer a corpse and it's skin quickly regenerated until it was a young women.

"What?.....Never seen an oracle before?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Billy is speechless, struck dumb from witnessing THE COOLEST THING HE HAD EVER SEEN! He'd need a few seconds to compose himself.


Gobs reaction was more immediate. He let out a piercing scream, ran for the door, bit right through it, and stood on the other side "Peeking" through the ragged hole. This was sufficient to bring Billy to his senses.

"On no, Gob. I am so sorry for him. I'm Billy Bishop, that's Gob. That was the coolest thing ever, what you just did, if you don't mind me saying so miss...?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"...Oddak, Samantha Oddak. And what brings a Death Student to this Wing of the School, or to me for that matter?"
