welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

 It has been almost two weeks since Beatrix was accepted at the Eldritch Academy as a combat instructor. She merely had one class in the subject of Combat & Self-Defense class, but she already felt like she was a part of the community here. Normally, it would take her a while to adapt to a new area, but this place... it seemed like home. Not to mention a warm welcome she received from the faculty at the academy; she was trying very hard to hide the embarrassment and keep the calm and collected personality showing.
Though it was probably normal for faculty to do that kind of warm welcome to a new member Beatrix still felt like she wanted to show her gratitude for the welcoming community by putting her maid skills on the front. She started making plans for an event she would hold for the faculty members- something each one of them could enjoy and something she could use to learn as well. "Hmm... something everyone could enjoy." Beatrix thought out loud as she walked back and forth inside her apartment. Suddenly, something came across her mind- she walked to her work desk and pulled out a sheet of paper. She placed the sheet on the desk, sat down and began to write. "If I do this I have to make sure I do it well. Two birds with one stone I guess, hehe... ♪ ♪" She talked to herself as she began writing down what seemed to be a list of items.
After roughly 75 minutes Beatrix stood up with the sheet in her hand. Both sides of the sheet were filled with names of various ingredients, cooking supplies, accessories and so on. That seemed like a list of ingredients for a dinner and it was a big one. Was she planning to make a dinner for faculty members? It sure seemed so. She grabbed her wallet and swiftly placed it in her uniform's pocket. She just received the last 'paycheck' from her last job so money was not the issue; especially when aiming for ingredients.
She walked out of her building and looked into the sky. "It is still pretty early. Might as well familiarize myself with the surroundings. Hehe, I've met so many wonderful people- perhaps I run into someone I know. ♫" She said to herself in a melodic tone- eager to explore the area; especially the shops. It was only 14:25 so there was no need for rush- perhaps exploring was a good option while looking for priorities on the sheet. After a short walk of 10 minutes or so Beatrix found herself in front of a large market- there were over dozens and dozens of shops inside one large building and it peaked Beatrix's interest quite a bit. "This sure looks like an eventful place. I will have a look around." She muttered to herself and stepped forward.
On the surface there was reception and security. There was one small coffee shop with a group of elderly men and women talking about their days and drinking, what seemed like, cheap whiskey. There appeared to be a luxurious clothes' store as well. One escalator was leading below the surface into a self-service shop; that was one place Beatrix wanted to check out later to take care of the things on the list. Though, she was rather curious to see everything else this building had in store so she began to walk around and explore with her curious eyes and ears. |

The reason for the kitsune being here was a simple one to be frank. He was hungry and fresh out of food. He needed to go shopping to get a few things for the dorm so that he'd at least not have to come out to the mall daily to find something. The trip should've been short, but the selection of shops in the two story building kept him distracted enough from what he was suppose to be doing. In particular he got himself in a bit of a pickle when he entered the coffee shop seeking only to browse, but then finding himself stuck in a debate with himself as he looked between two bags of coffee. One bag was regular and plain, but the other had a hint of french vanilla to it. He had sampled both and liked both, but knew he could only have one. So he stood there for what felt like an eternity before grabbing the french vanilla flavored one and heading out.
With coffee scratched off the list, the kitsune would flick the his black tail as he shifted his wings a bit as he looked around the area he was in. He was just about to head towards the self-service shop when a person wearing a maid outfit caught his attention. Huh what a strange outfit to go shopping in, but wait a minute. Red eyes would narrow as he studied the woman some more. Wasn't that one of the teachers from the school? The maid that ran the Self Defense and Combat class? He had heard about the woman though had never met her. Still his curiosity caused him to move from his spot and go towards the woman in question. Maybe he was about to get himself in a world of trouble. This could be just some maid doing her shopping, but if it was said teacher wouldn't it be good to introduce himself in case he ended up in a class with her?

Beatrix started looking around to dig up some more details of the marketplace and see where and what she could do with her exploration time. There was some sort of state-of-the-art vehicle being sold as a 'prize' for winning some sort of contest; would be handy to have one since Beatrix did not have a car of her own. As she looked around she noticed someone approaching her- their appearance was standing out among most of the people around. Perhaps one of those mythical races which are not often seen moving around? Beatrix did not have as much knowledge in this field.
Since the person obviously approached with some interest or intent Beatrix turned in their direction and bowed respectfully. "Good afternoon to you." She greeted with a kind and melodic tone in her voice. She did not know what to expect out of the conversation and with so many students she had been encountering it was a difficult task to remember all the faces. It would not hurt her health to see and meet someone new. |

He moved through the crowds at an easy enough pace most moving out of his way due to his strange looks; however, the creature didn't mind it. He was used to stares, so as long as he wasn't called out for it he could care less that the humans stared at him as he moved about. He supposed the maid saw him coming for she did stop and actually bowed and greeted him as he got closer. Stopping a respectful distance away and out of the way of the crowds, the kitsune would bow back a bit awkward not sure if that or a wave would suffice. She was so proper and he honestly didn't know how to react to that.
"Uh...good afternoon, I guess. Um...so like I don't mean to bother you, but I have to know. Aren't you one of the teacher's from the school? The maid that teaches defense and combat training?" he would ask as he furrowed his eyebrows a bit finding this conversation already off to an an awkward start. Lord knew what was going to happen now, but that was just the way it was with this kitsune. Awkward as hell. Hopefully he wouldn't scare the lady away though.

The young man there appeared to be a student on the Eldritch Academy and he recognized her, too. Not that it would be hard to recognize her- her clothing is definitely out of place when compared to teachers or any other maids that could be seen in the area. Maid teaching a combat class is not something that simply goes in one ear and goes through the other.
"That would be me." Beatrix responded with a smile on her face. "My name is Beatrix Valentine. Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She said and bowed slightly in her greeting for respect sake. Perhaps it was a maid thing to do that- she was under no obligation to perform such act, but Ravens trained her to be such... hybrid of a person. "May I know your name?" She asked curiously.
[OOC: Apologies for late response. Had to study for my exams. I should have said something in advance. If you are willing to I'd like to continue.] |

Well the good thing was, was that he didn't mistaken some random maid for a teacher. He also didn't offend anyone what his odd ass question making the situation good so far considering things. In any case, he would find himself relaxing slightly as he returned the smile she gave with a small one of his own as he nodded to what she said. "The pleasure is all mine, Ms. Valentine," he would begin and then hearing the question he'd give another nod. "Sure you can. My name is Rika Sakia. I am one of the students on campus." He would say before falling quiet again for a few moments not sure where to take the conversation. "So, what brings you out here?" he would ask as his eyes went from the woman to the stores around them. He knew shopping was one of the obvious answers, but still he'd ask anyway to see if the end result was something different.
((OOC: That is fine. I do apologize for my own slowness. Sometimes I can't answer quickly, but if you don't mind I would love to continue on with this thread with you.))

Upon hearing the young man's question Beatrix presented a paper sheet to him; it was an oddly long list of tools, utensils, consumables and ingredients. Beatrix's handwriting was rather tidy- it almost seemed like the list was printed and not written by hand. The amount of things was something- it was sufficient to feed a smaller group of people. With all tools and utensils included it would be difficult for Beatrix to carry all that back to her apartment in one go; it would two, if not three runs.
"Faculty members of the Eldritch Academy gave me such warm welcome so I wish to use my expertise to express how grateful I am for the opportunity to work by their side." Beatrix explained. That was strongly implying she was preparing some sort of gathering for the faculty members- she seemed to be skilled as a cook, too. "And I have little knowledge of Mystopolis so this appeared like a good opportunity to learn and explore as well." She added.
"I assume you came to shop?" Beatrix inquired curiously. |

She would present a list to him to which the kitsune would lean forward slightly to read as his tail swished behind him. He would read off the various items listed there and wondered briefly what it was all for and might’ve even asked if the other hadn’t spoken and given him some clues as to what she was planning.
“You plan to throw them a big party then?” he would ask as his eyes drifted from the sheet back to her. “Well aren’t you sweet?” he would finish with smirk as he watched the other with a curious eye. He had heard of thank you gifts, but that list she had went far beyond that, so it must’ve meant she either had really large heart or a rather deep pocket to give such a gift. He supposed the staff at the school was great then to get this sort of thank you for all their welcomes and such to a new teacher. Made him feel sort of proud to be at the school if that was the case.
That aside, his smirk would shift into a softer smile as he nodded at the teacher. “Yeah. I came to shop so I wouldn’t be hungry anymore. As for this place, I’ve never really explored it much before, so mind if I join you?”

Gentle smile came across the maid's face. "It would be my pleasure." She said as she bowed lightly and gently. Considering Beatrix would soon start working as a maid for her new master (or protege if you prefer the term) she would be coming here much more often to buy ingredients for meals and other necessities for the master.
"Is student life treating you well, Rika?" Beatrix asked out of the blue. She was curious about the individual she was exploring the mall with. As she was from store to store checking for tools and utensils her curiosity got the better of her. Normally, it is not very common for a teacher and a student to walk together and converse about the studies, but Beatrix was very open-minded towards students and a good shoulder to cry on if you fail an exam.
[OOC: Forgot to say earlier. It is fine. I have my own share of things which slow me down so just keep up at your own pace. If you feel like you want to stop just inform me. No pressure. And thanks ^^] |

“Cool,” Rika said as he joined her in her exploration. Well at least this was turning out less awkward than he thought it would be and that was good because now he could relax a bit around the woman. He would look around at the various stores making note of where to go for certain things that was not food as he glanced around. This place had a lot of useful areas to go to didn’t it? Huh. He’d never known if he hadn’t decided to explore a bit today.
That aside, he was pulled back to the reality of things when the teacher with him asked a question. To what was asked, the creature would hum a bit thinking how to answer that. “Well, so far it isn’t too bad. I am settling well enough and classes haven’t broken me yet,” he would say with a chuckle before looking over at the other. “How about you? How are the students and classes treating you?” he would ask as he became curious about the other the more he relaxed. While it was true she was a teacher and he a student, for the moment those boundaries didn’t matter. To him they were just two people walking together and chatting a bit as they did some shopping along the way. Nothing more. Nothing less. It was kind of nice to be honest.

Gentleman by her side was a rather nice and enjoyable company for the mall exploration. There was joy in Beatrix when it came to exploring new areas; she was like an excited kitten to play with a toy for the first time; having somebody else to talk to while exploring adds a sense of relaxation. She was probably going to be taken in by all the places, but efficiency was still her primary tool- she would make sure to fetch everything from the list as soon as possible.
"It has been well so far. Many promising students on the board." Beatrix responded. She did not have many classes at the moment; as far as she was concerned she could hold various types of classes. Combat and Self-Defense were something natural to her, but she was not too focused on it considering combat is something she is accustomed to anyway. After reading about others' classes which were oriented on combat she began to consider adding a special version of combat class, but specialization in usage of weaponry in combat. While she has a preference towards weapons meant for swift and clean assassination she has been trained to be able to utilize any sort of weapon. Once someone's Talent is not sufficient for breaking through the opponent they should know how to perform unarmed combat or combat with any weapon they have on hand, even if improvised. "Any classes caught your eye?" Beatrix inquired. |

He’d walk along with her, quite calm as his eyes took in the various shops and his mind made a mental check list of where he needed to go to get certain things. He was quite pleased to see he didn’t need to go all over the place for what he wanted and now had a place where anything he needed could be gained. Granted, he had company now, but that did not stop him for being on the look out for anything he may need to bring back with him to the dorms.
“That is good to hear,” he would respond back politely to her response. It was always good to have a room full of good students and who knows maybe one day, he could add himself to her list. “Do you only teach self defense and combat?” he would ask after a while curious if maybe the woman did more than just that. Maybe she was a teacher of many talents and looks considering her unusual dress wear. Or maybe he was just thinking too much and assuming too much from the woman. Either way, he’d find out if she answered his question.
Regardless of what would happen, he would continue to follow along with the woman for now staying quiet until he was asked a question to which he would nod a bit as he spoke. “Yeah. There are a few that I caught my eye such as a cooking class for example and things of that nature,” he would say not at all embarrassed about the matter. He needed to eat right so what better way to that than to cook for one’s self right?
