The Kethencian College of Magic RP

[Philote]

"Oh! They did their research, they even have animals native to Aeon."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Once the show had ended, the students were allowed to explore thier new home.

[piemanftw]

yells over the crowd after the show is over "HEY IS ANYONE HERE IN THE WIND COLLEGE!?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Strange beasts, wonders beyond time and space, epic stories and battles all play out before Billy's eyes as he finishes his second stack of plates. To the side of him 2 men wrestle with a great Divine bull. Behind him, a monkey man Battles a divine army and appears to be winning almost easily. In front of him a man a brute of a man grips the arm of a fearsome monster and will not let go.

As far as shows go, it's all quite impressive.

And when it's all over, Bishop rises from his seat to give a great round of applause, clapping and cheering until his mouth and hands sting.

After being released and bidding adieu the Mr. Wulf and Mr. Tiberius, Billy sets out to explore the college. He had already seen the area around the crypt. So, he picked a random direction and headed of in it, letting fate decide where he ended up. After all, any place was a good as the other.

[Philote]

Zauber, with nothing better to do, went to explore the other schools of magic to see if they had anything that compared to the display around the sprite in his own school.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Asoka and Mamika: "Ittadakimasu!"

The two had forgotten to eat while the show had been going on and quickly ate their food. Once done, Mamika wandered off somewhere else and Asoka decided to explore around.

Asoka: "Might as well look at the Enchantment School's area first."

She started off towards the Enchanters' part of the College.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The problem with just walking in a random direction is that your not always sure where you end up. But whatever this place was it was gorgeous. On the walls hung various things with almost no discernible rhyme or reason. A painting here, a weapon there, jewelry and tapestry and fine clothing. Statures and suits of armor were everywhere and Billy had the distinctive impression that everything in this room was watching him. It was eerie. As if everything in the room was alive.

In the center of it all stood a grand sword lodged in an boulder. Billy, having heard about this sort of thing before, gave into the temptation to give it a few hard tug tugs.

"Stuck tight," He mused, breathing heavily" Guess I'm not some sort of legendary hero then. Oh well."

He turned around a few times, looking foe someone before shouting, "Hello, I'm sorry to intrude, but I think I'm lost. Is anyone there?"

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Asoka noticed as she walked to the Enchanters' area that there were several weapons scattered around, some of possibly good make. The paintings and drawings she could care less, but... was that a katana? Asoka walked over to the weapon and checked again. The katana's hilt had leather bindings to hold onto and from what little Asoka could see, the katana was slightly curved.

Asoka: "Argh, I want to know what design the blade has, who it's forger was, and whether it's a 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-body blade. I can't see anything unless it's outside of it's sheath. Is there someone who can give me permission to look or are students forbidden from touching weapons?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"You can probably look and touch all you want," Billy said, walking up to her, "But I wouldn't try to leave here with it. I have a feeling that the statues wouldn't be very pleased."

"By the way, you wouldn't happen to know where here is, would you?" He asked, embarrassed. "I'm afraid I got slightly lost."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Asoka looks at Billy.

Asoka: "It's the Enchanter's area and I don't want to take the katana, I just want to look at its craftsmanship. Every blade put out by a Japanese blacksmith is a work of art as well as a weapon. Some take two years to make and are of high-quality."

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"Thank you, and I did not mean to imply that you were going to. What I meant was, well, if I was able to create things like that sword, and if it's as beautiful as you're implying, then I wouldn't mind people, especially enthusiastic ones, from viewing them up close. I would only mind. Beside," Billy indicates the sword in the stone, "I touched that one and nothing seems to have happened."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Asoka: "Well, sometimes the effect of a curse can take a while to become obvious. There are lots of tales among my people abouut that and is the main reason why I'm hesitant to touch anything in here. I would love to have a katana but they're very expensive and I'm definitely not touching any in this school.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

At the mention of the word "Curse" Billy's eyes go wide.

"Oh, yes, I hadn't even considered..." He trails off, then shakes himself and hastily changes the subject.

"May I ask you a question? You seem like a very.... martially oriented sort of person. I mean, just looking at you I kind of get the feeling you could break me over your knee. So, why are you attending a magic academy?"

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Asoka shrugs: "Well, I might seem to be very physical in comparison to the other students at this college but I know several who could beat me in mere seconds physically and according to my people's rules, those who have magical of any kind have to learn how to use it. Also, I was chosen to go to this school to see how good its teachings are. That is why I am here. Et vous?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

"My lord sent me here as a token of goodwill from the Millennial Kingdom. I guess I'm sort of like a ambassador. My country  is very isolated. We don't have very many allies or trading partners mostly because of, well... differing philosophies regarding death. Differing as in, a dead man is our king and the dead work side by side with the living. Most people find that offensive, for some reason. I guess, they think by sending me here we can establish contacts with some more" he thinks hard about his next word,"unbiased societies."

"But honestly, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I mean, learning magic and all is my dream, I love that, but... I don't think I'm that good at diplomat stuff."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Asoka looks into the distance.

Asoka: "I can agree with the diplomatic stuff. Ce n'est pas drôle. Ah, that's right!"

Asoka hits one hand with the other.

Asoka: "That reminds me. If I happen to start speaking in different languages every once in a while it's due to the fact that every person in the Draconic Empire is required to learn at least 5 different languages. But enough of that. We often have people do various things in other countries and we respect our dead. Sometimes on rare occasions they will return to the family to give messages. My family keeps the spirits of our dead in small plaques with the name of the spirit on it. Each family does things differently. I'm guessing you wanted that information, n'est-ce pas?"

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Billy looks confused before suddenly something clicks in his head.

"Oh, right! You heard me ask about death rites earlier today." He pulls out a little notebook and pencil and jots down Draconic Empire: Memorial plaques, name inscription. "There, that way I'll know what to do in case I ever have to perform a Draconic funeral. I would hate to offend the dead by botching something like that. Thank you!" he Smiles wide gives a slight bow.

"It was a pleasure talking with you, but I really should be getting to bed now. We start class proper in the morning, and our upper class man told me that we would get to meet the guy who's in the golden coffin in my dorm. Goodnight, Miss Yamata-san." With a final bow, the young necromancer walks out into the open air, making his way, eventually, after a few wrong turns, back to the crypt and his bed.

Tomorrow promised to be exiting.
