As Problematic as Problematic Can Be

Beryl now stood proudly at the mouth of the cave where her latest genius accomplishment stood before her. Despite the dim lightning and generally dark and wicked atmosphere, at the forefront of the abstractly artistic structure she'd made was a brightly lit and colorful sign that read: Beryl's Rehabilitation and Training School. It contrasted deeply with everything around it, but then that was it's purpose! Despite the fact it was for wicked kishin eggs, witches and all other manner of creatures of the night that didn't really give a damn whether a sign was neon pink or black as pitch... it still had to put up the illusion of reformation and renewal. If her students didn't at least 'look' like they were being reformed, it likely wouldn't be long before Shibusen itself came knocking at their doors with their stupid death scythe ritual crap aiming to kill her just as they'd done to her mother! Her soul wasn't going to end up in the stomach of some disgusting Shibusen weapon! She stopped her thoughts on that point, taking in a deep breath and releasing it again before her rage got the better of her. Even so she couldn't help but allow the slightest amount of a maniacal smirk cross her lips. This would all be worth the long wait. Even if it did finally cost her the last slivers of sanity she held so dear, she'd see everything Shinigami had worked so hard to build crumble into dust at her feet. She released a wicked cackle before finally moving toward the doors. Arrangements would need to be made to bring together the best and most wicked the world had to offer in an arrangement the likes of which had never been seen before! She released an evil cackle as she floated her way inside and closed the doors with an over-enthusiastically dramatic slam. The innards of the place were just as dark and dreary as the outer shell, lit by dim magic candle light that kept a steady flame and never went out. She really preferred it that way. If one wanted warmth, bright colors and chirping birds all they needed to do was walk outside the cave! It was the best of both worlds for her students, but Beryl would leave the outside to those that liked that sort of thing. As it was now she sat within her bedchambers, zipping and unzipping a small hole in her desk as she gazed down at a blank sheet of paper with great thought. After what seemed hours of no movement, she finally produced a pen and began writing. "To whom this may concern: The damnable academy run by Shinigami himself is a trouble that has been merely tolerated for far too long. No longer must those of us who dance among the darker pleasures consider when some ridiculous child will come calling to pester us and attempt to liberate us of our souls, successful or not. I write this missive to all those deemed worthy of joining this most memorable cause. With an alliance of Shibusen's foes, both great and small, and much preparation, we'll be able to fell the bane of our existence once and for all and take this world for our own cause! Enclosed is a map that will lead you to the location of my very own rehabilitation and training school. Inquire at the secretary within and I shall share with you my plan. If you prefer, you may simply walk out at that point without any questions. I do hope you will at least hear me out. I thank you for any considerations. With Sincerity, Witch Beryl" With that much finished, she rolled the paper up, licked a thumb and wiped it across the seam to create a tiny zipper seal, brought her pen up and then stabbed it down straight into the center. All at once the single paper burst into dozens of skittering centipedes that scattered off to their business of delivering the reproduced letter to their intended targets. "And now... we wait..." Beryl stated to herself, leaning back into her chair. Edited by Problematic, May 14 2010, 03:11 AM.

Heru yawned softly from the long, long trip. He did enjoy to travel, one thing he wouldn't be able to do once he had a meister and was part of the DWMA. So travel now was perfect. Stretching his arms above his head looking at the amazing waterfall he stripped off his shirt showing a few of the scars underneath. Thy were all healed but had never disappeared, the most prominent scar was the long 'Y' shaped one he had received from the good Dr. Stein. Being dissected was one thing he didn't forget. He let those thoughts go as he knelled down by the cool water to was his face and furry ears. Using his claws on his hands to groom out any fleas or ticks he might have come into contact with. Flicking the nasty little bugs into the water. Standing up and shaking slightly to remove the water from his fur and skin. Replacing his shirt he looked up to the beautiful waterfall and smile slightly though, something seemed off.... Walking around the water to get closer to the waterfall he sniffed the air. yeah, something was off. Coming closer to the large waterfall he notice the entrance to a cave, though it looked man-made instead of nature made. Sniffing again he approached slowly. Not wishing to be rude he knocked on the door slightly. "Anyone home?" He thought that was a stupid question, out in the middle of nowhere and asking if someone was home. He growled in his own mind at his stupid question and started to open the doors. |

"Of course there's someone home," came the annoyed response as the doors flew open. "Why would someone build a place and then leave it to rot in such a wonderful locale?" And there stood Beryl in all her black-clad glory, appearing rather unhappily stoic at the unwelcome intrusion. "Did you receive an invitation or were you just lucky enough to stumble on my school?" She quickly moved straight to the point, not allowing the boy to take a step into her establishment as she barred the way with her body. "You don't seem like someone who needs rehabilitation. The vibes I'm getting from you are all wrong... Those are some nice claws though," she finished with glancing down at his hands and feet. "What a shame. Come back when you're decidedly evil and have something to show me. This is a school for the wicked to correct their ways so no place for you. Tata!" And she stepped back to allow the doors to slam in his face. |

As the door flew open he jumped back and growled softly almost getting hit. "What the hell?" Snorting a little he listened to the female in black, ears perked up above his head. "Invitation? Evil? I have no clue what your talking about lady, I just travel A LOT and found... your umm..... whatever is...." He hid is hands behind his back grumbling as she talked at his vibes being all wrong. The next thing he knew was the door slamming in his face. "Grrr......... " he curled his hand into a fist and snarled slightly. He reached back and slammed his fist into the door trying to dent it. "Who the hell do you think you are?" He tried to keep his temper under control but couldn't help himself, the wolf had never had a good grip on his temper. Heru grabbed the door and swung it open walking in carefully, sniffing the air as he moved further in. The light was dim, only lit by candles, his sight, for being a wolf wasn't very sharp. Sniffing the air again he growls. "Come out here! I'm not done with you." Edited by Wolfmoon, May 19 2010, 11:22 PM.

Beryl now leaned against the wall behind the wolven boy, just barely out of the way of where the door hit the wall. She didn't make her presence immediately known, remaining motionless as she responded to his words growled out in anger. She seemed to entirely disregard his words and emotions he was so openly displaying at the moment, instead taking a different avenue of discussion. This one could obviously have promise if she could smooth talk him well enough. Perhaps he could even become a trusted ally! It wasn't often you saw such exquisite claws outside of werewolves and kishin after all. Maybe he was actually stronger than he looked! "You have no idea where you are or who I am... Do you know of Shibusen? Do you work with them at all? My original assumption was that you were here on a mission from them to shamelessly assassinate me." It was a total lie, but obviously Beryl wouldn't allow that to be known. Instead she appeared to be genuinely concerned as to his motives. |

Heru turned around quickly slightly startled by the female. "Kill you!?! No.... i'm not here to any such thing, i was wandering a long, long, long way from... my... umm... home.. yeah, my home and took a pit stop to cool off and found this place. Yes I know of Shibusen but i haven't yet tried to enroll." He snorted a little and watched her closely, there was something about her he didn't trust, plus dark places creeped him out..... to much like Dr. Steins lab. He shivered a little at that thought before pushing it to the back of his mind. He kept a close eye on her and the door staying tense just in case he needed to bolt. "What are you doing out here this far from nowhere anyway? And what did you mean by school? This don't look like no school woman..." Heru never had been good at talking with females... |

"I'd suggest not bothering to enroll..." Beryl remarked with a bit of bite to her tone. "Shibusen is nothing but a lot of indiscriminate killers. I'm merely a witch running this school for other reformed witches and various other beings who were unfortunate enough to lose their path on the road between good and evil. Do you know what Shibusen sees me as? Fuel for their ridiculous death scythes. Everyone is too scared to gather in one place lest Shibusen come down upon our heads, but I'm trying as hard as I can to allow everyone to survive in peace." Her face remained sternly determined, allowing a tear to slowly roll down her cheek. Finally she sighed and appeared to deflate. "I apologize. Those absolute murderers piss me off to no end." Her fist clenched as she spoke, getting up from her position against the wall and ensuring that the doors were closed behind them. "I created this as it is in order to disguise and hide from them so that we can live without their shadow looming over us deciding which unfighting witch to pick off next. It's why it doesn't immediately appear as a school aside from the sign in the front." |

He listened to her, large ears flicking atop his head. "Really? I never knew that about them." Yawned a little and stretched his arms over his head. He felt sorry for her, watching a tear foll down her cheek. Ears going back again, the more she talked the worse Shibusen sounded. He sighed more and finally spoke up. "Umm... i hope you know.... i am a weapon.... but currently not looking for a meister. That is why i was going to Shibusen." He lifted his left arm and let it shift to the stainless steel scythe blade, the pretty white wolf skull sitting atop his shoulder. Though he wasn't concerned about becoming a death scythe. The wolf shuffled his feet looking to the closed doors getting a little nervous as he let his arm shift back. Stretching his clawed fingers again. "The outside is very pretty but.... the inside reminds me of a place i wish not to remember." He scratched his head slightly and itched his ears. |

It took every bit of Beryl's acting talent to hold back the grin that threatened to pull at the corners of her mouth. He was a weapon! And a scythe at that! Oh the prospects of annihilating Shinigami with a scythe weapon of her own made the buried maniac within her absolutely giddy with sadistic glee! Could this get any better?! She absolutely HAD to get this boy under her thrall now! The emotion she did display was one of happiness, shifting from her downtrodden expression with the exhibition of his abilities. "That's absolutely wonderful! I've always wanted to become meister to a weapon to show Shibusen that one doesn't need to devour a witch's soul to be powerful! I would be absolutely delighted if you'd be willing to consider remaining with me to assist in my goal! Um..." She gave a quick bow of apology. "I seem to have neglected to obtain a name from my latest guest. My name is Beryl and you've stumbled upon my school for rehabilitation and training. It's typically for those of evil persuasion, but being 'as you are' simply means you won't be stuck inside with classes as much as the others. Instead we may be able to spend a bit more time out on important missions and working on our own partnership. Obviously that means you won't be seeing much of the inside of this place..." She did her best to make the deal sound appealing. This was a huge gamble. She'd need to keep him relatively in the dark about her true goals until she was positive he'd gained an unwavering loyalty and hope at that point that he'd be too close to her to back out. |
