Lotus noticed Alice doubling over if she wanted to Lotus knew she could easily kill Alice with a clean slice. In fact one of the few reasons she didn't is cause she new it was Alice, The only one who seemed to like Lotus. Lotus listened to Alice before Lotus slide her sword into its sheath. Lotus began to growl at Alice's comment. She tried to think of a come back. "well you.... look funny." she said thid becuase she could think of nothing else to say.
Dot looked at her new toy. The little fairy reminded her of the butterflies she would chase and feast on during her free time. She new just what Lotus would want her to due. Lotus would want Dot to just keep the pixie off her. She also knew Lotus would call upon her if Lotus needed help.
The one thing Dot knew that Lotus didn't was that, unlike Phora, Dot can remain out without a totem or drawing upon energy from Lotus. So, if it comes to the worst maybe they could stall her out.
Lotus glanced at Alice and gave Alice a grin before she prepared for a fight, almost in sync with Dot. "Before we continue, Any rules?" Not like Lotus cared but it may cause a opening in Alice's defenses.

Alice's transformation was something Li had never seen before although he had heard of it. The sight was short lived due to what seemed to be Alice speaking with Phora. Still, it was a great thing to learn about the Totem. Dom was very interested in their spar. He almost jumped in himself, but then realized all he had was the ability to move the air, which wouldn't fair to well against a tiger or a elf/pixie/human thing. Li saw this eagerness in Dom and turned to

"After these two are done here, or when ever you want, I can give you a quick lesson in using your arte," Li told Dom. Although Li wasn't a disciple of the Naturae, from his understanding, his Fluunt practice would translate well. Li can show Dom how he manipulates the flow, much like how Dom can manipulate air. Dom, still absorbed in the spar, didn't really react to Li at first, but after a few seconds, he turned towards him to reply.

"Oh yeah, sure, when ever works," he quickly replied, turning his attention back to the fight. Li, a bit unimpressed, let out a sigh, knowing that teaching him straight from the books would not be way for Dom to learn. Putting that aside, he moved towards Logan since Adi had already left.

"So how did your mission end up?" curious on the success of his squad.

With his report finished, Logan decided to return to his dorm room to get some shuteye for the next day's investigation. However, before he could leave, he heard Alice and one of the newcomers talking. He turned just in time to see Alice's body undergo a metamorphosis, taking on pixie-like attributes. The transformation was jarring, to be sure, leaving the junior speechless.
Logan watched the fight intently until Li approached him.
"So how did your mission end up?" He asked.
"Eh, the trip didnae accomplish much but tae make Ms. Ignianus seem more suspicious. We did find a trail o' spiritual energy, though. It should lead us tae the stolen artifact. Tae be honest, things were pretty uneventful until we ran into some demons."

The rest of the time Tsubaki spent with Tasha was mostly spent being overly polite to one another or in awkward silence. After a time Tsubaki said her good-byes and left some of the tea for the woman, and promised again to do her best. She must have lost track of time in the s**** room because when she emerged most of the others were already back and doing other things, the most striking of which was the fusion of Alice and Phora to take on the pair of Lotus and her tiger. (Which of course everyone, including Alice saw as silly pretty fast)

Since Alice was placed in charge, and neither of the two girls that looked most like Tasha were around, Tsubaki decided that she would watch the match at hand and wait for her chance to talk to the senior. Hopefully the match wouldn't spill into the hallway with her. She might even learn something from observing it.

OOC: Oy! After this Alice Lotus match we're going to move onwards, I'm going to be skipping to the night. Everyone who isn't going to the junkyard can feel free to go to bed, or have some sort of nighttime shenanigan on campus, or if Adi wants to wrap things up quickly he too can deal with teakettle mission with the coming night as well. All in all, keep your eyes on KP and Thai's posts, to know what to do next.

Evelyn turned to watch the fight herself. While she had not expected Alice to suddenly bring out such a transformation for a training battle, she admired Alice's grasp over the transformation. The combination of one's being with their familiar showed true power and mastery of her arte. Nodding to herself she flew from the hallway into the library where she had spent most of her days prior to the mission. Unlocking another one of her abilities relating to her soul of light was just the very tip of the iceberg, and she wanted to learn more.

Lotus shrugged off the taunts. For someone who rushed headfirst into every obstacle, she wasn't that easily angered. "What happened to that tenacity?" Alice asked. "Now would be the time to use it." The senior spread her feet, putting her right foot in front of her and the left foot behind, leaning her right shoulder forward towards Lotus, finally bringing her fists up in front of her face. "As for rules... Why don't we forget about them for three minutes?" After seeing her 'spar' with August, she knew this was the only way to properly train Lotus.

The familiar looked up at her user uneasily. For once Phora seemed concerned about the s*** coming out of Alice's mouth. Her master intended to make this as close to a real battle as possible. Originally the pixie had planned to simply mess with the tiger, but now it was an enemy, and she would do anything to defeat it.

Lotus and Dot smiled at Alice and phora before unleashing their power. Lotus ran at Alice as Lotus did her nails turned into long claws. Lotus proceeded to unleash a barrage of attacks towards Alice.
At the same time Dot leaped toward Phora Claws out.

Lotus attacked wildly. She was fast, but there was no finesse behind her motions at all. Alice nimbly took a step forward, through an empty space between the girls swings, and threw a right punch towards the girl's center of mass. However the move was merely a diversion, her true intentions being to sweep Lotus' feet out from under her by suddenly bringing her left leg around in a circular motion.

Phora, meanwhile, stared at the tiger as it appeared to smile, so when the animal pounced forward it took the familiar by surprise. She reflexively leaped forward, slipping right under the tiger and taking off as soon as she landed. Now that she was hovering inches off the ground, she had more maneuverability. By flapping her wings harder, she began to scatter clouds of a strange and colorful dust towards Dot.

Dot was hoping for phora to move, Dot crashed right into Alice's back in turn knocking over Lotus.
Lotus got smacked in the face and knocked to the ground, so far this batle wasn't turning out so well. Lotus struggle under Dot and Alice's weight. Next a cloud of dust rushed over the trio from that annoying pixie.

Alice had no idea what just happened. One second she was about to put Lotus on the ground, the next second she was on the ground with Lotus. The senior took a deep breath, and instantly her nose and lungs began to burn, while her eyes started to water. The inside of her mouth felt like she'd eaten a habanero pepper. "Phora..." She gasped as her mind became foggy and disoriented. "You idiot!" Silently she apologized to Dot, who was surely receiving a massive dose of the powder.

Soon Lotus began to struggle underneath her, scratching Alice's arms and body. Her senses were ablaze and the scratches were painful, not to mention the aches throughout her body from being tackled by the tiger. Annoyed, she lifted her right fist and brought it down hard onto the poor girl's forehead. "Knock it off." She said. Next she used the back of the same fist to bludgeon the tiger's head. It was probably too sleepy and confused to give the meager punches much thought.

"I just beat all three of you!" Declared Phora. "You're all dumb. Plan better next time." Having ruined the sparring session, she settled herself down on the tigers back, rubbing its head like a housecat. "Vanish now. The fight's over and you're crushing Alice."

OOC: Added the remaining students I meant to add earlier. Again, feel free to have interactions with students, etc.
OOC2: Yeah meant to post this earlier but, had to update the student stuff...so yeah...sorry <.<

Autumn, Friday, 17:30

Miss Shields had remained relatively quiet for as she watched the "training" routine, with each strike against each other she grew more and more apprehensive. At first Greta had thought that the training was simply a means to teach the young trainee Lotus not to fight so recklessly, but then that was thrown out the window once Alice herself displayed the mastery feat of combining one's spirit with their familiar to produce a half-human half-mythical being. Her mind flash back to the call she had received from Rachel in which she had been asked to monitor the club in her absence. One of the few things she had been told to note was Alice's behaviour, her totem made her mentally unstable. At the time, Greta hadn't been sure what Rachel had meant but now she could see that something wasn't quite right about the girl.

She stood up from where she was leaning against the wall and seemed to slide forward on her feet as wings of light seemed to appear behind her and her hands glowed with golden light. Raising her hands towards the girls a golden yellow sphere of solid energy appeared around Lotus and Dot, while another sphere appeared around Alice. Moving her hands away from each other she levitated the spheres away from each other a considerable distance.

Miss Shields walked towards where she had confined Alice while the orb that had entrapped Lotus and Dot dissolved leaving the pair free to go on their way. Leaning forward Greta looked at the girl with a look of sympathy though stern with impending rebuke:

"Miss Pearson, please, control yourself" spoke the woman in a hushed voice "This is just a training ritual, Gregory may be around to heal you any wounds caused as result of the fight, but your conduct was beyond necessary young lady. I suggest you take a break for the rest of the day, you need to unwind." The solid field of energy that surrounded Alice disappeared, and Greta helped the young woman back up onto her feet. She turned to face the rest of the group "That goes for all of you" she commanded; and thus, her mousy image was shattered as her commanding Angelorum presence seemed to fill the room.

-------------------------------

Having re-entered the main room having sensed a spike in holy energy in the atmosphere from the library, Evelyn floated with her legs crossed watching the display of Miss Shields' powers. While she found it incredibly amusing that the secretary's last name and abilities coincided with each other, she was more impressed that the woman was even capable of such a feat; she would have never tagged the woman as Angelorum. She heeded the monitor's words and simply left returning to the dorm common area.

In the common area a small group of the first years had formed around Timothy who was playing his violin. She watched momentarily, though after not seeing Bernice among the group, whom she assumed was probably in the library tower as usual, Evelyn decided to head for her room.

"Hey Evelyn, where are you going?" she turned to see who was calling her, and saw Kyle calling her over with a wave. Inwardly, she sighed, not wanting to mix with these people she only just found bearable, but she relented and walked over to the group. Sitting with Kyle were Harper, Stan, Julian, and Krystyna who looked up at her with smiles. Awkwardly she smiled back at the group and sat down and Timothy resumed his playing.

Lotus was deeply confused when she found herself over on the other side of the room. She didn't know if the fairy did something or some one else did.
Anyways Lotus headed toward Alice, on the way she grabbed her sword that gad fallen off. "Thanks, Alice. I learned something. Dot needs to lose a few pounds." Lotus chuckled.
Dot appeared and nudged Lotus causing Lotus to fall over.

"I apologize," Alice began after standing up. "My conduct was unacceptable. But while I appreciate your concern, there's work to do." She'd earned herself a slap on the wrist from the school secretary, of all people. Still, the best way to amend for it was to soldier on. Seeing Tsubaki in the hallway, she smiled cheerfully and greeted the girl.

"How was your day with our guest? Did you learn anything?"

Johnathan watched as Alice and the new girl who was named Lotus train. His eyes widened as he saw Alice and Phora fuse, but once Miss Shields intervened he got up and left. Honestly, he had thought Adi would talk about the mission, and when he hadn't, Johnathan originally started to get up and leave, but sat back down when Lotus and Alice began to train. He had no clue where he wanted to go next. He could go and rest up for the next part of the mission, but he decided to pay a visit to the library tower first. He hadn't been there in a while. He would have went to the library in the s****, but felt like he needed a little break from all the spiritual stuff. Plus, it was a mess and he didn't have the patience to look through that right now.

Making his way to the library, he began to look for a book that would hopefully catch his eye.

Everything had gone better then planned, no report was written, nor was a report asked for. Maximilian felt strangely secure in the idea that he was able to avoid work and 'orders' without being reprimanded or even punished in the least. Rising from his position in the corner Maximilian plucked away his headphones, shoved them deep into his pocket along with his cassette player, and quickly made way for his dorm, though the boy stopped short of the common room once he realized there was a great chance he would arrive in his room and not be alone. Exhaling a deep breath the boy entered the common area only to find a horde of students huddle about a violinist. 'How interesting' sarcasm seemed to indefinitely float about Maximilian's mind as he passed the group and shut himself away into his dorm.
