  1. Blackstaff met Neil's attention and held up his hands in a placating gesture. "It's okay. We're not going to hurt." He said in a calm tone, trying to keep the creature's attention on himself and not startle it. Behind the goggles his eyes flickered in Oz's direction. He hoped the man had a way to restrain the cockatrice and chided himself for not making sure before hand. Slowly he moves his hand toward his coat pocket and the treats in it. "In fact, I think I have something you might like."

    Pulling out a couple treats, he cautiously tosses one to land in front of Neil.

  2. Leon waves Luke off as he side-eyes Pan. "I'm fine. I just prefer a good coaster over spinnin' like a top."

     

    He stretches a little and takes a deep breath. "And come on guys, you can get burgers anywhere. We're on the boardwalk..." He grins. "We need to get some chili-dogs and onion rings."

  3. For all his bluster, the relentless spinning did a number on the young man. He did his best to play it off as he followed Eira and Pan off the ride with Luke. He preferred coasters over just spinning around, but luckily it only had him dazed for a moment or two as he found his balance. His sister would have loved it, he had yet to see her fazed by any kind of joyride, kinda like Eira.

    ”Must be nice not having an inner ear.” He jokes and glances at Luke to see how he was handling it.

    He looked back at Eira and gave her an inquisitive look. “Do you even eat? Do have a literal hollow leg or somethin’?” Leon snickered. 

  4. Leon glances in the direction of the office door when it opened. He caught the colors of the setting set behind the head mistress as she stood there. When the sky outside turned a sudden, sickly green from the hellish looking flames he was on he feet in an instant. He only caught a glimpse of the flames through the windows when the metal shutters slammed into place.

    ”The fu-“ He started to say when he looked over at Luke. “I really hope this isn’t a usual thing around here. Although the after the prom...” He let the statement trail off.

    Leon turned his attention to Head Mistress Summers to gauge her response on just how bad this was by her reaction.

    "I will keep you in mind in the future, but first I need to talk to you about why I am actually here."

     

    Blackstaff raised an eyebrow quizzically and eyed the table and chairs the armored girl had conjured out of thin air. He hadn't seen her cast any spell of even felt the familiar stirring of magic that came with casting, but it was definitely some form of magic he thought. "Must be something innate. Is she a demon or some other creature from the beyond Earth's realm?" He wondered as he eyed her again. "No, I don't think so."

     

    He watched the creatures that seemed drawn to her, help her down. At first he thought it was because of the armor, but something else tugged at the corner of his thoughts. He dismissed it for now and focused on 'Heir' as she spoke again. "No, thank you." He said, politely turning down the drink. He was on the clock, as it were. Plus, until he was sure about her, he shouldn't trust anything she could simply conjure up.

    Sitting across from her he listened to her recount of events without interrupting. As she did so, he added to the profile he had been putting together of her. He had already ruled out her being a demon, or a devil for that matter. Nothing about the girl struck him as being of the fair folk, maybe a changeling though? He couldn't tell her features past the armor.

    From what she said, he didn't think she was a part of any of the clans. She had to be an outside agent, like himself. He nodded as she mentioned Professor Upal by name, acknowledging he knew who he had brought with him.

     

    On 10/10/2020 at 1:25 AM, Kaede Kimura said:

    "Why?" She met the man's eyes.

     

    Blackstaff tilted his head a little as he looked at her for a silent moment. She was being earnest as far as he could tell. Not looking away from her gaze he answered as honestly as he felt he could. "I would wager, for the same reason as you're here. I believe my client, just as you seem to believe yours."

  6. Blackstaff ignored the protests of the for the most part to start with. As the crowd became more agitated he tried to calm them with a polite tone.  "Look, we're sorry. We're just looking for a-"

    What ever he was about to say was cut off by the sudden scream. Blackstaff cursed under his breath and turned to look. The cockatrice was sitting calmly in front of the screen, for now. He didn't want to wait to see for how long.

    Oz was already approaching from his side. Blackstaff began to move down his side as he tried avoid the crowd that he was sure was about to start panicking.

    "Everyone, please remain calm and do as he said. Close your eyes." He tried to sound calm and authoritative. "We are trained to deal with these kinds of situations." He lied. And if Oz looked at him he'd just give a little shrug.

    Blackstaff looks around for anything that might be helpful. He gaze settles on the curtains hanging by the screen. An idea forms as he creeps closer and he starts gathering magic and shaping the spell in his mind.

     Seventy-five miles? Not impressed. I can fly faster.

     

    "Not that you're bragging." Leon teased as he followed the others onto the ride and began to secure himself.

     

    On 10/9/2020 at 10:13 PM, Avenger Assembled said:

     "Hope you boys can handle a little delirium, yes!" she called cheerfully. 

     

    "I think we got this." Leon grinned.

     

    On 10/10/2020 at 7:10 AM, RocketLord said:

    He smiled, as he looked directly at Leon. "But you lack direction. You play at being a trickster, but you just steal. You are too obvious. Maybe you should consider learning how to be a better kind of trickster."

     

    He paused, holding Leon's eyes.

     

    "I guess you will have time to learn, but hold on first."

     

    Only Leon's expression stiffened as he matched Pan's gaze. "Being a trickster is fun, but stealing is survival." He thought to himself. "Pretty boy probably never had to work for anything in his life."

    He looked away as the ride started, trying to enjoy the ride as he watched the ground fall away and the momentum pick-up.

  8. Blackstaff nodded thoughtfully, studying 'Heir' as she spoke. It was only for moment, but he thought he saw something troubling her. "To be honest, it can be difficult to tell sometimes. I'm sure it would never freely give it's true name, but if you knew the name it went by you might find a lead." He said. "You could maybe trace the name back, find out what realm it originated from. As long as it hadn't took up the name of another creature. They do that sometimes to hide themselves."

    Blackstaff regarded the mounted girl for a moment, then reached into his jacket. He produced a business card and held it up to 'Heir'. "If you're having problems with something nasty, I can try to help. Or, if you just want someone to dig up info I can try to help with that too."

  9. Blackstaff glanced around the screening room. He leans closer to Oz and lowers his voice. "I'll check the left if you take the right. Hopefully there's enough light so if one of us spots him, they can signal the other. We'll see if we can lure him out with the treats without causing a scene." He suggests as he pulls the package of treats. He divides the threats, stuffing some in his coat pocket and handing the rest of the package to Oz.

  10. Leon sat beside Luke in the head mistress's waiting room.  He had received a couple 'care packages' from his freedom flaunting siblings, but someone had said something to the right person. So now; a new TV, game system and one surprise floor inspection later here he was. He sat reading a book as he waited for his turn to see Miss Summers.

     

    On 10/8/2020 at 6:52 PM, Nerdzul said:

    Hey man… What are you in for?” He playfully teased Adam.

     

    Leon lowered his copy of Blackout and glanced sideways at Luke with a smirk, then over at Adam. He didn't take long to size-up of the older boy. Something was off about him, and it wasn't just the boy's skin tone. Leon couldn't decide what it was at the moment. "My guess, not getting out enough. It's called the sun, you should try it some time." He smirks and glances back at Luke. "He looks like he should be in the background of my book." He waves the paperback to emphasize his point.

  11. Blackstaff eyed 'Heir' casually, nodding at her inquiry regarding magic. "Demons?  I suppose that depends. There are a lot of creatures that get mislabeled as demons." He blew a small bubble and popped it as he thought. "If you mean actual demons from one of the outer realms, I have studied them some."

    He gives 'Heir' a friendly smile as he leans back against the railing. "Normally I charge a consultation fee, but it looks like we'll be stuck together here for a bit. So, what can I help you with?"

  12. "Let me see it." Leon held out his hand to Tremayne as he nodded, clearly asking to see the phone as he pulled out his own.

    "Right, so avoid a head on fight with your sister, duely noted." He glanced over at Sureshock's 'little display' and cocked an eyebrow. "I guess some of us don't need to worry about dead batteries." He joked glancing around the fake street and it's surroundings. "Metal, huh? Does that mean she can ground you out?" He asked giving the other boy a side glance.

  13. Chimera could make her first appearance against a were-Cap.

     

    Paper is always looking for some excitement at the Academy

     

    And Blackstaff is willing to stand against anyone abusing magic.

     

    So if you need someone to step in to get a tread started just let me know who you'd like.

  14. “You shouldn’t underestimate paper tigers.” Leon said with a smirk. Looking over at Luke he grinned and nodded his head after Pan and Eira. “Let’s show the old hats that there are new kids in town.” Then followed the pair towards the ride.

  15. "If we wanted to behave, we would've stayed on campus." He countered Eira as the boys walked up and shot Pan a smirk.

    In line, Leon waited to get his hand stamped. "We haven't been here in years. Last time, my sister cussed out one of the stall operators for rigging a game." He chuckled. "It was funny to see a grown man squirm from a 13 year old's rage. She got him to hand over the prize she wanted just so she'd stop making a scene."

    "The Delirium is a a spinning pendulum on which 40 riders are strapped into their seats and face outward on a giant ring while they spin...let us do that!" she said. "Unless you think you are not strong enough..." she added to their guests, a challenging smirk on her face. 

    Past the gate he looked around and grinned. He looked over at the 'Delirium' and cocked an eyebrow. "I guess we can start with the kiddie rides." He joked.

    On 9/27/2020 at 6:05 PM, Nerdzul said:

    Hey not strong enough? Is it a challenge or something?” He grinned playfully and this time it was Eira's turn to get a friendly nudge. 

     

    14 hours ago, RocketLord said:

    "No, no, I agree with Eira here." He waved Leon and Luke off with a smirk. "You don't seem quite like you can handle something like that. Maybe it is better that you sit and rest. Enjoy the sights."

    Leon put out a hand on Luke's arm. "It's cool Luke. If Peter and Tink wanna spend some time alone." He teased, his tone hinting at something unsaid. "I'm sure we can find something to 'entertain' ourselves."

  16. Leon made a non-committal noise as his attention was focused on the building, sizing up the two-story building. His attention shifted to the girls as Tabitha joined Kendra to take their head start. As he watches them enter the building he addresses Tremayne. "Two questions. You know what the girls can do? And, what can you do?" Leon paused, then added. "Third question, you got your phone?"

  17. Blackstaff nodded in greeting to Zach and the gargoyles in turn. All of them radiated magic except the captain. When Alaynah says the armored rider can introduce herself, his original thought that she wasn’t a member of the crew was further confirmed for him. Perhaps another passenger he thought.

    23 hours ago, Kaede Kimura said:

    "Call me Heir."

    He looks up at the Dreamer and gives her a polite nod. “Heir. Christopher Daye, Blackstaff Investigation.” He introduces himself as he took a moment to sort through the magical auras surrounding the rider. He wasn’t surprised the horse registered as magical, the armor as well. Through those though, he could pick up her magic as well and it was significant.

    On 9/22/2020 at 7:19 AM, Zeitgeist Blue said:

    "You've got your own designated cot," Alaynah says to you as soon as Zach is gone. "We'll let you know when it's ready."

    Looking back he watches Advay as the professor hurries after the gargoyles, heading below deck, followed closely by Zach. He nods to Alaynah. “Thank you, captain.” Blackstaff mentally noted the captain’s comment about Zach having tracked him.

    As she too disappeared below, Blackstaff stared after for a moment and then moved to the railing to lean on it. When the boat cleared the sewers and he could see the sky overhead again Blackstaff took in a breath and exhaled. It was only a little better than it had been before. After all, they had only just exited, but the salty scent was a nice change. He relaxed, only a little, as looked out across the water at the other vessels going to and fro.

    Around the boat, multiple magical auras gathered and moved through the water. Only a few shared the deck with himself and the rider. “Is she a summoner?”  He wondered off-handedly as he glanced back at her and the ‘companions’. He turned back to the water and heard the clockwork stead’s hooves on the deck as it approached.

    23 hours ago, Kaede Kimura said:

    "Mister Daye, might I have a word with you? There is something I feel we must discuss."

    “Oh?” Blackstaff asks, pulling something small out of the interior of his jacket as he turns to face ‘Heir’. Looking up at her to opens a tiny paper wrapped item, he puts the contents in his mouth and chews lightly. Holding a small brightly colored container towards her. “Gum?” It was at the same time, a silly but polite gesture. Something that might throw some ever so slightly off, but then he was a man of finding advantages where he could.

  18. On 9/23/2020 at 6:21 PM, Nerdzul said:

    Hey whose sidekick exactly?” Luke smirked as he caught the gist of the conversation of the two fellow Claremonters who were waiting for them close to the Ocean Heights park. Wasn’t hard to spot them among the crowd right? Especially given the guy’s choice of attire. That said, it did look like every cute girl in school already got a date didn't it? That was definitely a shame... Again. Whatever. They were there to have fun nothing more.

     

    Leon gave Luke a gentle shove and smirked as they approached the two older students. "Didn't you realize? We've been ungraded from delinquents to sidekicks." He chuckled.

  19. The Ryde driver gave the pair a skeptical look as they responded to the app’s notification, but seemed the  relax a bit when Leon told them they were heading to Ocean Heights. A pair of kids from a private school heading to the amusement park on the weekend seemed normal enough.

    Leon made small talk as he and Luke rode. The subject of what kind of prank to play on Sebastian coming up at least once, with Leon suggesting things like replacing all of his clothes with thrift store hand-me-downs to moving his bed into the courtyard with him still in it. Though he’d admit he didn’t know how they’d pull off the latter.

     

    The car pulled up to the park’s entrance somewhere around 10ish. Luke could see Leon pull a couple single dollar bills and a twenty from his pocket. He looked at them for a moment then counted out the singles, putting the twenty back in his pocket. He handed the bills to the driver who smiled and thanked them as Leon got out of the car. If he looks, Luke could see the driver holding twenties instead of singles, happily stuffing some rich kids money into this pocket.

     

    Wearing jeans and a Rage against the Machine tee Leon stuffed his hands into the pockets of the realistic looking zipped jacket that spotted a strange little patch. Almost like the Deathly Hollows but not quite. “Ah, smell that? Smells like freedom and chili dogs.” He mused with a grin as he inhaled the breeze coming off the water. He looks back at Luke. “Ready for some fun?” He asks before turning to look around for their ‘chaperones’.

  20. "The amusement park?" Leon repeats thoughtfully, then smiles mischievously. "Ya, that sounds fun." He nods.

     

    1 hour ago, Avenger Assembled said:

    "If you are not afraid of trouble, that is." she added with a wink at Leon. 

     

    "Afraid of it?" Leon chuckles and grins. "It's what I live for."

    "For now tho, I think I'm gonna take a shower before I hit up dinner." He smirks at Eira as he thumbs back at the dorms. "Some of us actually work up a sweat in the gym."

    Leon turns to head back to the dorms to take a shower before heading to the cafeteria.

  21. On 9/17/2020 at 10:00 PM, Avenger Assembled said:

     "What did you have in mind?

     

    Leon grinned. "I'm sure we can think of something." Then smirked at Pan's mock indignation, but was surprised when to two disappeared. He looked around quickly then back at the space they had occupied a moment ago.

    He started to wonder if they had teleported or just turned invisible. His eyes narrowed, but before he test any theory the two of them reappeared. Leon did his best not to show his surprise.

     

    12 hours ago, RocketLord said:

    "No, never." His grin was wider than ever, perhaps a bit more than it should be possible.

     

    He smirked at Pan. "Well now, isn't that cheating." He teased. "Some of us work had to be sneaky."
