[Chevaleresse]

Viverna dipped her head in greeting, the slight gesture exaggerated by her horns.

"Claus. Behaving?" An eyebrow raised with the question, and she glanced at the guard as if she expected his answer as much as Claus's.

[RedMageCole]

"Yes— Can't quite say the same for the guards here, unfortunately."

[Unlurking Sentinel]

The red mage's blunt blunt declarations perhaps seemed perfectly crafted to get himself into further trouble. Or perhaps simply poorly thought out if he wished to continue living. Perhaps both.

"A ruffian?! How about I-"

The guard captain held his arm in front of the enraged soldier, who stopped in an instant, before turning to Claus.
"You appear to believe that you are somehow above everyone you see. If I recall the briefing, you are attending detention precisely to rectify this delusion." He then turned to the cadet who just entered the room. "And who gave you permission to interrupt a situation as sensitive as this?"

The enchanter eyed the armored, strong-seeming woman, for not a moment too long.
"Perhaps she would do for reinforcements! She looks like she could take on a few prisoners on her own."
"Wh- you're going to ask me to impress a student who just intruded on and interrupted us?"
"Sure. Uhh, make it her detention too or something."
"Goddamn it, even if I was a teacher, this is not the punishment for this infraction!"
"Look, either you find some men now, or you wait on this until tomorrow when I have enough mana for three keys. I don't care how they come to your service."

[RedMageCole]

"Was that how he put it? I don't recall ever saying I was above everyone I saw— Merely stating the truths of which I see. But by all means, if it will make the detention quicker, I will refrain."

Because regardless of what truths you believe about me and what I believe about you, there will be only one truth when I am finished with the academy.

Blodeuyn turned and stuck out her tongue at the old lady obviously not caring what she had to say before banging on the door and jumping again.



"Eww! Now the cat is starting to eat the dead old lady. I'm going to really haunt you all now. And I wont' be nice about it one bit."

she yelled more for her to feel like she is actually doing something the actually trying to escape.

[cronos5010]

Akira's eyes couldn't help but roll by themselves as the tiny green haired girl mouthed off aimlessly once more.
: "Would you just be quiet? The guards are obviously not coming over."

[Chevaleresse]

"This is why I have 'intruded.' Claus, mind yourself." She turned to the irascible guard, and gave a short, stiff bow. "My apologies. I was not aware of any sensitive discussions. However, I will gladly assist in keeping criminals and the evil where they belong."

[Unlurking Sentinel]

The guard captain, at last, gave an exhausted sigh.

"...I suppose we have a willing reinforcement. How long do you think the key should last?"

"Perhaps ten minutes wouldn't be too big of a risk? It would give you plenty of time to recover your delinquent from the chamber or whatever, before you throw the new prisoner in there. Should worst come to worst, it wouldn't be enough time for the prisoners to make too much trouble."

"It can't be any shorter? ...Fine. Do your thing." It was clear to the guard captain that this enchanter had long lost the patience for negotiation. With the key created, the guards, the prisoner, Claus, and Viverna left the Office of Keys and descended through the cold, dark dungeons, through the cacophonous first level, and the under-renovations second level, where they stopped near a dumbwaiter to receive the prisoner-fit food (soldiers and scholars were forbidden from providing mess hall food to the prisoners, for some peculiar security measure), before approaching Chamber 53. The prisoners could hear the marching of armor approaching their cell.

"This is where you'll be providing food, until the insurgents are relocated to a safer chamber."

One of the guards banged against the door with the end of his lance (to try and silence the frantic ruckus being made by one of the prisoners), took the key and 'unlocked' the door, whereupon the soft ticking noise returned. "You first," the guard said as they gestured toward Claus.

[rustytengo]

Blodeuyn jumped back from the door as it was banged on by someone who wasn't her and gave the group a smug smile totally believing that she cause the guards to come.



"Finally it took you all long enough. The cat already ate part of the dead ladies hand. You really need to clean it up cause trust me I don't wanna haunt you." she said loudly addressing the figures on the other side of the door.

[TricMagic]

Arnvidar awaits his chance for his part, his breathing calm as if sleeping..

[RedMageCole]

Something told Claus that entering that cell first was not going to be a good idea. He takes a slow step, before stopping upon Blodeuyn's voice. Yes, he could work with this... He took a step back, recoiling in slight disgust.

"Dead? Urk... I thought this prison would have better care towards its prisoners." Claus vigorously shook his head towards the guard captain, feigning a weak look despite his normally confident self. He even tilted the brim of his hat down for good measure. "My apologies, you'll need to check if she's telling the truth. I vomit profusely at the sight of the dead and Viverna gets just enough lightheadedness that it would be very easy for the prisoners to run amok in our nauseous states."

Hey, at least he was nice enough to make Viverna look better than him.

[Aurorix]

Man, the little girl's act was quite... something. I don't think the term 'Bratty' can really encompass everything about it. Either way, hiding above the door the cat lies in wait for the bait to be taken. Though... hold on... some of the people don't sound quite like guards either. Did some students get some dumb idea to sneaking into a prison? What's with this looming sense of dread also? It's like some sort of beast is burning away at his soul. They're just guards right? This can't be that bad right?

[Unlurking Sentinel]

The guard captain paused, before chuckling softly to himself.
"If she was actually dead, you would have that much less to worry about, if anything! But the cat would die before she does."

[RedMageCole]

Claus blinked a few times. A what? Was there a cat when he was doing watch? Well, in fairness he wasn't really paying attention, but still.

"A cat? Now that's simply ridiculous, why would anyone imprison a cat? Cats can't commit crimes. Yet even if we were to say that a cat was imprisoned, cats can live for quite some time. If a cat were to live for a decade, it would surely outlast an old woman of her final years in prison, wouldn't it? I continue to fear for my companion's safety and my lunch."

[Unlurking Sentinel]

"Cats don't have blue fur. I am informed that this is not a normal cat by any means, but the researchers haven't had the time to examine it. But regardless of what it actually is, it would be dead if it even thought of trying to bite her."
