What's This?

[Stevie-Rae]

Right after smashing through the ice, I vaguely felt someone catch me and hit something hard. Right after making it back to the ground, I was rolled off onto the floor and laid there for a moment before trying to get up. I went to stand up, but was greeted with spiking pain through my lower back and legs. Dammit, I think he broke something or at least cracked it. I would be unable to continue this fight. Dammit.

A goth girl ran up, the same one that had been helping with the others who were hurt. She checked me out, which wasn't worth it, I was sure. I knew I was done for now. The thing that hurt most? Well, that one was easy: my pride. Physical pain, however, my back hurt the most. Just below the middle of the back. Something wasn't right. Something was off. I knew it wasn't broken, I could still move my legs and had full feeling. I could even feel the gash on my lower leg still. Her hands moved from my calf and up the side of my leg toward my hip. Were I not in so much pain, laying on my side, I'd of made a wise crack. Once her hand made it up to my back, I twitched in pain.

"Ah, hell" I said between clenched teeth. "I guess that's. a broken rib too. Didn't even. feel it break. My back... it what hurts. the most right now." I told her between short shallow breaths.

This was not what I had signed up for. Not in the slightest. I knew the school would have fighting, but this was ridiculous! There were 'Gods' fighting the students for no other reason that they felt like it. This was stupid. I had had just about enough of it. Trying to be nice was not getting us anywhere.

I watched as Emily jumped on the boy and One of her Pillars... Melody? fired an arrow at him. This was no good. Then, the other teacher picked the 'god' up and threw him at the woman. Great. Just great. I was about to head over and Pull Emily off myself and set each of the KIDS in different corners. This was stupid and childish behavior. Then the woman stopped them in mid-air. Well, shit. How would I compete with that?

I took another moment to gather my thoughts before deciding on a plan of action: Perhaps reasoning with the woman who was not fighting? I made my way, carefully, to her and stopped a few short feet from her.

"What was your mission when you came here and have you fulfilled it? WHat will you gain from hurting these students?"

Keeping his line of sight toward the actual battle, Arathorn heard the diagnosis Wren had given.

Good. Vi wasn't too hurt. Before darting off after Wren to go protect the next downed student, Arathorn, in his normal empty but bold voice, took a glance at Vi as he told her, "Be careful."

As Arathorn slid across the ice toward the injured brunette, he saw out the corner of his eye the golden haired pillar throwing what he had seen was poison ivy, ice, and blood all in one. Interesting combination, but it could do some damaged. If it hit, of course. Well, he did have a collection of steak knives that hadn't been used yet. Might as well help out.

Sliding across the frozen plain sideways, using his vision to assist his aim, Arathorn threw two knives toward Scylla: One to the neck region, the other to the opposite shoulder of what Melanie had fired her arrow at. That way he'd have a whole lot more to dodge. [Ability #1 (Eagle's Eye): Enhances Arathorn's vision by range, honing in on an object, or changing the type of vision completely, such as thermal or night vision (+4 PER)]

Once they had gotten to Stevie, Arathorn knew the drill; quickly he set up a table between them and the attackers, keeping his eyes just above the table to watch any shifts in battle. 

From the sounds of it, Stevie wasn't doing well... at all. She was out. For sure. They needed someone who actually knew what they were doing quickly, or they were all going to end up on the ground bleeding.

(Violet Lockheart/"Wren"/Stevie-Rae)

[Emily Suddenfield]

Emily was gripped and thrown like a rag doll, slamming into he wall with jarring force. Sliding to the ground, her vision blurred slightly. These people were just....too strong. Sweat beaded on her forehead, her eyes coming up to see Stevie-Ray on the ground. Other students terrified at the sight of their Captain so easily dominated. Emily wasn't really sure how to fight people like this. They had an answer for every attack she threw. Punches, the fire extinguisher, choke holds. Fighting two on one...then the sound of the short ones voice was ringing throughout the hall. To switch out and fight. The others, it seemed, were disinterested in fighting back though. The woman only attacked because she was fighting the male. 

Pushing back, Emily sat on her rump and leaned back against the wall. She could feel shards of wood and plaster stuck in her back. She watched the two armored fiends talking...Emily had maybe one good attack left in her. Spitting blood, she'd watch and analyze, waiting to see if they continued to attack or not. If they did, Em would....find the strength to get back involved but, if she was being realistic, the School Captain saw no avenue of victory by pressing the assault.

"For people so strong, you seem out of place. Why waste your time here? To send a message?"

Emily spoke loud enough for them to hear but was still weak compared to her normal self. Whatever happened- she couldn't let them continue hurting the people here.

If they kept fighting, so would she.

[Violet Lockheart]

EVEN WITH THESE CHAINS

you can't stop me

A concussion aye? Now that didn't sound all too pleasant. As Violet lapped there momentarily there to herself as the frenzied bodies around her made checks and work about her but not exclusive to her as a number of bodies lay strewn about the room in the successive havoc. Violet would motion a gaze towards Wren and offer her a bright grin. "Nah I'm good." She'd lie. Yeah she was probably going to stagger over there and give this bully a piece of her mind, but the reciprocating pain was probably not worth it in the end.

Violet would move to stand clearly having difficulty to rise would stagger over towards the male character and look him up and down. She presented herself in such a fashion that she was perhaps not even a threat at this point; body slovenly dragging her arms down around her hips, back slouched, head hung low. She'd raise her hand like raising a question in class before looking up at him. "Mister...? Please stop." With that she wouldn't wait a second longer and aim a right hook along his jaw bringing her left up defensively to where the wound on her face had been prior.

She heard him shift. But it wasn't just any shift... It was an uncomfortable one. Was his brother a touchy subject? 

"I enrolled when my brother did. He's pretty good at fighting, but he is kind of dumb. So I don't know if he would even listen to me. My name is Dion by the way."

Well, maybe they just didn't have the best of relationships if he called his brother dumb. Then again, SJ wouldn't know what that would be like since she didn't have any siblings. But anyway, she decided to text Richard again- it'd probably give him some peace of mind, and who knows? Maybe Richard knew the guy. 

Beepbeep. 

"Siri, text Richard." 

Beep.

Siri: "Texting: Richard" 

"Hiya exclamation point just letting you know I'm with a guy name Dion period hope you're doing okay comma let me know when it's safe to leave period." 

Text to richard : Hiya! Just letting you know I'm with a guy named Die on. Hope you're doing okay, let me know when it's safe to leave.

Okay, so maybe Siri wasn't 100% accurate... But you can't expect her to know names!! 

She kept petting Burrito annnnnd...small talk!

"So why'd you guys transfer to 259?"

[Richard Stock]

A rush to the end.

Violet protested, saying she was alright, but Wren gave an ominous analysis of Violet's condition. But those were all starting to blur together as Richard struggled to keep calm.

Arathorn's recognizable voice called from over the din---some rhyme, reason in it that Richard would have appreciated it if he was fully aware of the situation going on, but by that time his body had already travelled through a thin wall of ice. He recovered slowly into walking steps so as not to charge too much further. It was cold, but duty forced him not to shiver, the stress tensing into his back in the form of small knots underneath his shoulder blades. The wall didn't... hurt much. Still, he took the time to hurriedly brush off the ice off his long-sleeve shirt, trying to avoid having the ice melt and enhance the chill in the air on his body.

If they survived this, it would be of no surprise if more than few of them got the cold or flu.

---He stared around the exit and then back inside where the combat was still raging, where Arathorn had stepped up to the plate to provide support, where the goth girl was working to keep the students checked and safe.

This exit didn't bloody well lead upstairs to the library.

An incredibly loud and angry growl came from the young British man.

"BRING THEM THROUGH HERE!" he'd shout, pointing to those who were fallen, waving his arms for those who were given the all-clear by Wren to go. He'd briefly---briefly---direct them there, and hopefully encourage the trampled students who could stand to help evacuate the others. Otherwise his shouts were primarily to Arathorn and the goth girl---Katsuko either couldn't hear him or was too focused on talking down the intruders.

Richard ran, ignoring them. He briefly caught a glimpse of the goth girl running over to Stevie, to the teacher Arathorn had mentioned striking out at... someone, Katsuko AND Emily now both standing before the armored Scylla---his objective was the stairs. He ran through the main doors, around the fighters, rushing to the library, hazel eyes glazing over everything. He couldn't feel the burn in his legs or the cold bite of the wind passing him...

---While running, his phone beeped---was it SJ?

He stopped himself into a casual walk... Maybe everything was alright? He began to realize how heavily he was breathing, how fast he had gone---

Text to richard : Hiya! Just letting you know I'm with a guy named Die on. Hope you're doing okay, let me know when it's safe to leave.

RICHARD'S BLOOD RAN COLD AND ANY ATTEMPTS TO MAINTAIN HIS CALM FLEW OUT THE WINDOW.

WAS THAT A SECRET MESSAGE? SHE WAS IN DANGER, WASN'T SHE? WHY ELSE WOULD IT SAY "DIE ON"?

THAT WAS CLEARLY A CALL FOR HELP. SHE WAS SPEAKING IN CODE AND BEING SUBTLE.

SJ was about to die.

SJ was about to die.

Richard couldn't even feel how fast his body was moving as he ran for the libarary---

"YOU BLOODY WANKERRRRRRRRRS"

---

OOC: Richard will arrive in the library next post unless interrupted!

[Mr. Damien 'Mayhem' Caine]

Damien unlike many other in the room who were seemingly worried about the armoured people, didn't really care. This was an excuse to let out some anger and break a sweat while doing it. So while the guy he had struck with a chair started to get up, Damien smashed the chair against the floor and hefted the remaining chair leg in on hand as a weapon.

It was not a weapon that he used in direct offence though, as the guy once on his feet spun and sent a fist at him. To which Damien responded by swing the chair leg with force. An upwards intercepting blow for the elbow, to send the fist high as well as hopefully do some serious damage to the joint if he had his way.

Scylla would hear and was paying attention to Melanie now moving his arm around quickly to cover his face and catch the shard as the liquid splashed against his armor, with a steak knife bouncing off harmlessly, but another sharp pain in his back as a knife was able to slip between his armor in his back. Beliel waved a hand at the disgusting display and everything avoided her. Beliel would look to the woman and shake her head.

"We came to check up on the Beast. It was they who thought to give us orders. Punishment is due."

Beliel would look to the fallen School Captain.

"Yes. Foolish mortal children should know when to stay out of our business."

At Violet's approach to Scylla and her words he would lower his arm and raise a brow before he raised his opposing arm to block her strike, before going to jam the ice shard into her stomach with his other, letting the poison ivy cut into her flesh, that Melanie had so graciously given him.


Meanwhile in the Library...

"Our Dad forced us to enroll here cause our uncle is the Supervisor."

He was however unable to hide his snorting laugh about the read back of her text message.

[Emily Suddenfield]

Em would burst from her position, aiming to grip the wrist of the blade that the male intended to shove into Violets body. Her other arm would aim to wrap around his neck, using the momentum of her movement to throw her legs up and catch the womans head in a scissor vice. Twisting as she did so would force all three of them to the ground. The holds wouldn't have enough damage to keep them down long, and would likely end with her possessing broken bones, torn flesh. Her fist would flash with shadow again, and she'd attempt to punch the woman that was held by her legs to again, give them time.

But she'd shout up at Violet, using the few moments that would hopefully hold them down to give Violet this chance-

"Get everyone out of here!"

That would leave just her to bear the brunt of their damage. Emily didn't care- this was her final attack. She wouldn't be capable of anything more. Hopefully Violet would listen and act fast.

Her vision was beginning to blur.

EVEN WITH THESE CHAINS

Violet would stand there in perplexed shock as her strike was blocked seemingly effortlessly and fear ran up her spine. Now this is where things got real tricky: If Emily was unsuccessful with her maneuver Violet would feel a sharp pain in her lower abdomen as her eyes would adjust looking downward at the mottled pain as her attire started sporting a new color to the mix. Red. It was like a dream as the dull throbbing washed over her and her body felt weakness drawn from each and every limb trying to tell Violet that she had to get away from this pain, to run very far away feeling another throbbing sensation wrap her limbs before stumbling back to the ground. Emptiness, this is what it felt like, though she welcomed this pain her eyes growing weak.

If however Emily had succeeded in the blow Violet would stand there momentarily stunned quickly shaken free of this distraction and initial fear. Her gaze would cast back to Melanie. "You heard her Mel. Violet would smirk before turning face forward and barrel into the man with her left shoulder, her legs sweeping beneath him to try knocking him to the flat of his back. She wasn't going to leave Emily behind, the others were in good hands but Emily... "You're an even bigger idiot then I thought if you think I'm leaving you behind to play hero." She was frustrated, stupid martyr syndrome really ticked her off.

With Rais arm being knocked up, this guy made it worse for himself. Cause as his arm went up so did his knee. Right to the guys family jewels!

[Richard Stock]

Richard's legs burned from how quickly he was pumping them---but he skidded to a stop once he was at the library doors. The young Englishman took a moment to compose himself---one: to not entirely give away his position, two: to assess the situation, three: to maybe slip in unnoticed if someone---some GOD(s)---were inside there with SJ.

The doors would open and if Dion was still there, they'd see a very short Freshmen with long, dirty-blonde hair in a ponytail. SJ would definetely the stifled breathing as Richard fought to get his lungs under control.

...Richard would, unless they were too hidden away, spot SJ and a... red-haired normal looking student.

He calmed. Outwardly.

'Die on?'

"...Hello, I'm here," he'd say cautiously, waving (mostly at the red-haired guy) and projecting himself enough to announce his presence to SJ---stealth was out of the question here. He didn't know if he'd trigger something from the red-haired individual and set something off as he walked at an even, deliberate pace to them.

[Sugimoto Kuromori]

Before I could utter a response to the woman, Emily jumped back on the two 'Gods.' I let out an angered sigh.

"Emily... Please, you two. I believe you have proven your point and given these students enough punishment. You need to stop and leave. Now."

I didn't expect anything to happen. Emily hollered for Violet to get people out. I switched my focus from her to Violet. Eventually deciding to help Violet, I turned back and helped wherever I was needed. Flipping a table on its top, I'd begin pulling people that couldn't walk onto it.

[Stevie-Rae]

Sudden realization caught me as my eyes rolled back and I let out a deep exasperated sigh. My hand came to my face and I let out a low moan.

"I'm such an idiot..."

My hand dragged itself down my face as a loud sickening crack was heard. I sat up and rubbed my back lightly. It wasn't the best feeling, but I'd be able to help now. I stood up and dusted my self off before looking at Emily and Violet taking on Scylla by themselves. I was about to head over and help when I saw the two teachers going at it. Sighing heavily, I'd race over and jump up, aiming a kick for the vampire's face as well as a punch to the PE teacher's face.

"There is so much more going on than this petty squabble! Stop fighting each other and maybe focus your anger on the 'Gods'!"
