Chapter 1
Roleplay Between Plague and DAT
Edited (sometimes and poorly) by- Plague
*The Classroom was basically a laboratory with jars filled with materials dry and wet alike. The teacher looked like a 10 year old human girl that climbed up a box to reach the lab table at the front of the classroom and cleared her throat.
“Hello first years and...”
she glances over her roster then smiles.
“No repeaters this year, new record... Well, hello first years. I’m Mika Dusk, but you kids call me Ms Dusk. And I’m here to teach you Basic Potion-craft this year. Being here is a requirement. So don’t think you can transfer out unless you can pass the final already... but anywho, whoever your sitting with will be your partner until your partnership is found to be problematic.”
Sitting at one of the lab tables a human girl in the usual white button up, green vest and golden leaf pin is playing with her wand. She is wearing a witch cap that matches the green of the vest, accessories being allowed if they are both appropriate and in color scheme of golds and greens. She has a crooked broom set to her side and a school administered wand of a light wood. Clearly she’s in a western flight class or something. She’s looking bored towards the short teacher that was ranting at them about class requirements and such. Sitting at her side, was a pale student roughly her age. He had black hair, and it was so long in the front it covered the left side of his whole face. Alongside this, he wore a rather large, hook-shaped piercing on his visible eyebrow. He wore a black robe with an iron pentagram necklace hidden under it, and a green bow on it, and wore black, fingerless gloves with spikes on it's knuckles. Under the robe he was wearing a black shirt and dark green pants with a chain on it's hip that made noise everytime he sat somewhere. He was looking at a book called "Call of chuthulu, obviously not paying attention to you, or at least from what you can see he isn’t. Mika chirps up again,“First day confusions I see” she points towards the boy clearly out of uniform* You got the pants, but otherwise you need your vest, the pin that we gave you and a white shirt. I suggest you change after class as fast as you can manage... what’s your name young man?” *the 4’6 woman sounds like a toddler while The girl next to you glances then smirks before going back to her wand flipping.*
*the young boy doesn't answer to the teacher... But rather stares at her with a look that looked like a deadly threatening. He simply looked like someone who was always on rebellion*
*Ms Dusk went back to teaching as Kokichi ignored the death glare to instead concentrate on the lecture on mandrakes.*
Dusk-Now there’s one thing everyone should know about the mandrake. What is this. Can I get a hand raised?
*no answer from Nero, he already knew what a Mandrake was and what happened if you pluck it during the day*
*a small girl with raccoon ears and tail rose her clawed hand* ???- There screech when harvested.
Dusk- Good memory, and does anyone know how to avoid that?
The class was silent.
*okay... Here was something that Nero didn't knew... Mainly because the only thing he knew was to plug his ears whenever that happened. He pretended to keep reading the book, and pay closer attention to the upcoming answer from the teacher*
*the girl next to him raised her hand* ???-A well attuned plant mage or a nymph
Dusk- Good job... good job
*good... Another thing to add to his mental notes... He made sure he never forget to become a good mage... Despite not trusting anyone*
*kokichi smirked as she went back to flipping her wand*
"if you could tell me what's so funny?" *Nero suddenly asked to Kokichi*
“Nothing, can a girl be proud of herself?”
"hmph... Pride can be a dangerous thing to have" *he continued to read his book, then added* " the name's Nero by the way"
“I know how to manage it. And Kokichi”
"anyways, how long till this class is over?" *He kept talking to you while still reading his book*
“Not even close” *Mika is now talking about safety of harvesting the mandrake and announces that they will be doing an mixing today.* Dusk- It’s simple, this is a 3 to 1 ratio of mandrake powder to goats milk. and before you ask, no this mix not consumable . If someone does eat it tell me ASAP. I want 40 grams by the end of... 30 minuets. If done successfully you keep 20 grams each. Scales and materials are in the back. Your time starts now.
*Nero closed his book and soon he began applying all his knowledge to what he knew. He grabbed the goat milk and soon he headed to the Mandrake*
*Kokichi grabed the mortar, pesal scale and bowls* “You got measuring the powder? We need 30 grams, just guess and I’ll perfect it out.”
*Nero grabbed everything needed for the cooking, including the Mandrake powder. He was ready to compete*
*She takes a bowl and zeros out the 3 bar scale and points the wand at the powder and starting to sing a levitation chant lifting some up in a ball before letting it fall into the bowl. She adjusts the weight to zero out before repeating the process.*
*looking at his book again, he activated a spell that changed the pages from his book to his collection of notes: he marks the 30 grams and began to follow the steps, following extra points that he himself wrote about potions*
*after measuring she lifts the powder into the mortar* Kokichi-You got the milk and I’ll mix. Ok? *theres a sickly cough from the other side of the room by a lanky half elf boy* ???- “MS DUSK BRIAN GOT SOME POWDER IN HIS MOUTH.”
Dusk- FU——dge, is anyone in here in immobilization Magics... *The short girl starts running around, getting the emergency net as the kid starts to screech and curl on the floor.*
"you want my help? Sure" As soon as Nero was about to help Kokichi mix the milk, he heard the lanky kid cough. "Oh for fuck's sake..."
Kokichi-“Some one ate the mandrake...”
*The short woman is running around and then throws the weighted net over the kid.*
Dusk- EVERYONE BACK AWAY FROM BRIAN. MS HELLER AND uhh NATE WILL BE HERE...
*sigh* "do I look like someone who can actually help?”
Dusk- “ Are you in immobilization Magic’s, if not than I can’t let you...”
Dusk- “ Are you in immobilization Magic’s, if not than I can’t let you...”
*he didn't answer, took his book and flicked his wand, instantly petrifying the student*
Dusk- “What’s your natural ability... and is he still safe... some petrification spells turn to rock if the victim fights hard enough....”
"I know... He will last for 1 minute, then he will move again. Use your time wisely"
*A rugged woman on all fours and an older student enter the room. She sniffs the air before staring at the petite woman near the now immobilized halfelf in the net. The student was a beast man without his crystal, letting his paws ears an tail show fully. His claws clicked as he walked over to the front while the woman scamperd her way towards the net and Mika as the boy spoke.* Nate- “Hello im Nathanial Mooni, 7th year and assistant to our magicless combat and close courters weapons teacher Ms Heller. If you have us you should know that Ms heller can no longer speak common tounge and only speak bestian tongue. I am her translator from bestian to common. But anyway. This happens every year, consuming mandrake drives the consumer into a screeching rampage... so please, don’t be stupid and don’t eat it... and if you ever find people smoking it please report. It may be legal, but it’s extremely dangerous and it’s easy to over dose and go berserk. Any questions fresh bloods?”
*Nero raised his hand* "how dare you call us freshblood?"
Nate- “Right if passage, you haven’t even been assigned your teams yet, let alone go on a real quest. Next question.”
"???: Are we making the teams or you?"
Nate- Someone has been paying attention. First years will have there teams designed by teacher suggestion then sent on quests suitable of there abilities. Once your a 6th you can pick your own team and in your final 2 years you can go solo. But I like the team i was assigned. They do a good job picking them.
???: Yaaay
Nero: *sigh*
???- Can we put in suggestions for our future teammates.
*Heller starts to drag the kid now thrashing around in the net*
Nate- “Ok last question imma answer. And no ya can’t, sorry not sorry I don’t make the rules, now imma give the class back to mik- I mean Ms Dusk.”
*Mika gives the dark skin cat boy a hug before he ran out after Heller.*
Dusk- “ Now that that has been dealt with, you guys have... 20 more minutes to finish this before the demonstration of what this stuff can do.” *She waddles into the back room where loud squeaks can be heard.*
*Nero internationally deactivates the petrification only to make them struggle*
*an angered growl can be heard from the hall. Kokichi is measuring the milk and puts it in the mortar and starts to grind them together into a paste.* Kokichi- Nice job there.
"meh... They obviously needed help, they aren't professionals" *he said this as he helped you work with the potion*
“They actually are, minus the upper classman but don’t take this school lightly. It will kick you. It hit my sister hard after her first year.”
"I'll be ready... As long as I have knowledge from my side, nobody will be able to step ahead of me" *he looked quite relaxed while saying this*
“Demon born?”
*he simply didn't answer*
*she shrugs and keeps on mixing before setting it to the side Mika was starting to walk around with a knife in her hand from table to table, cutting a bit of her finger before putting said finger into the simple salve. She reaches Kokichi and Nero.*
Dusk- Now let’s see what you got. She repeats the cutting process and smiles * you have the coolness of a perfect measurement. Great job you two.
*Nero doesn't react at all from the finger cutting, rather focusing on having the right amount. Another kid however was shocked from this and had to cover their eyes*
*Kokichi smiles while a dual haired girl rolls her eyes to the kid that was disturbed by a drop of blood*
"you seem quite the smiley face" *Nero suddenly asked*
“Just keeping the family legacy.”
"family legacy... Of lying to yourself about life and ignoring how cruel it is?"
“No, the Vettas are potioncrafters, one of the best of the West... I’m just happy to be following in my siblings’s steps.”
"I see. Good for you" *again, he acted uninterested*
“Thanks”
*the potion was done, but all of a sudden Nero pulled his book again, and added a little bit extra of the mandrake powder*
“trust me on this”
“I don’t trust you, a little extra only ruined the perfection... asshole...”
"Oh shut up, it's barely noticeable... plus... It adds a better effect" *no extra grams were added to the potion*
“I know that’s a lie, closer to perfection, better effects....” *she grumbles*
"well, I had enough of you" *he takes his book and searches for a spell to use on her. He finds one and casts it, sealing your lips like a heali wound*
She grumbles. Ms dusk approaches Nero,
Dusk- “Now you, you’ve helped and all that but please, no malevolent castings during class.” *She reaches into her pocket taking out a purple gem. She takes Kokichi‘ Shan’s then chants in gnomish, unsealing Kokichi’s lips.* Dusk- “I know that magic is fun, trust me I used to be just like you. But magic is also a powerful tool, with a good tool takes a lot of responsibility. Understandable Mr Hero?”
"fine..." *He mutters*
*kokichi Just turns in her stool then goes back to wand flipping*
*Nero just switch his book to "the necronomicon" and begins reading something new*
