Heya ❤️ There was a huge fight (HUgE), wherein the Icari boys and their gang were temporarily defeated. The good guys are now trying to recover from various scrapes and bruises. Highlights: Wolfie’s been hit on the head with a shoe and taken to the hospital with possible brain damage, Marcel has a broken wing, mild concussion and possible inner magical damage, and Paxton has been beaten up in secret and moved into his brothers’ dorm.
We are now in breakfast 😊
“Everything is a mountain”

@whalekeeper probably by now, Marcel’s wings have been healed by the magic stone. If he hasn’t yet, then it’s still stuck to his hand. Just thought you might want to know.

Hmm, as usual, the children talk and conspire amongst themselves, until the adult enters the room. It seems you have neglected two of my favorite methods of getting things done in my stories: subtlety and manipulation. This is going to be fun!
Calligripho
Calligripho stirred, then stretched and yawned. He stared in confusion at Brian, who was just closing a book and setting it on a large stack of other books to his right. “What are you doing?” the young scribe asked the prince.
“Oh, just finishing up my homework. You’ve slept late.”
Calligripho glanced at the clock on the wall. “But it’s only the eighth hour, Your Highness. Hardly late.”
Brian laughed. “For me it is. I’ve been up for hours. Since the fifth hour, I think. It’s a much better practice than staying up until odd hours, trying to finish before bed. I got all my homework done this morning, but I suppose that makes me the worst kind of procrastinator, doesn’t it? I literally wait until the last second.”
Puzzled, Calligripho pulled out a massive, leatherbound volume titled Journal and wrote down what he had heard. Odd, that’s what it was. But everything must be recorded. He pondered this method of early to bed, early to rise. Maybe he would run a case study back in Stonestia, or, better yet, run it here, with himself as test-subject.
His thoughts were interrupted when Brian asked, “What classes are you taking, Calligripho?”
“Well, Your Highness, I’m actually here as Alchemo’s assistant, so I’m not taking any classes officially. He sent for me after the ahem incident yesterday. He wants full records from now on, in case he finds anything suspicious that the Council of the Citadel should investigate. He’s heard interesting things about this establishment.”
Brian nodded. “Not a bad idea. But hey, why don’t you take some classes anyway? We don’t get this kind of instruction in Stonestia. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. Math’s about to start, and you might like it.”
Calligripho glanced at a small stone mirror and shook his head. “I’m sorry, Your Highness, but it looks like this morning I have a special summons from Alchemo.”
“Well, in any case, be sure to find a way to come to Magic Relics class. It was… interesting. Speaking of which, I need to test out this stone some more.” Brian’s eyes glowed as he brought out the orange jewel, placed it in his palm, and sighed in bliss. Huge white wings grew from behind him, covering an entire wall. Brian smiled as with one beat of the wings, he burst out of the window. His merry laugh trailed up and away.
But of course some sissy girl had to scream and spoil the moment.
Calligripho shrugged, picked up his ink, quill, and tome, settled his thick glasses on his nose, and went to find Alchemo.
— Ten minutes later —
A sharp staccato rap on the door of the Headmistress’s office rang through the dark room. “Come in,” she called, annoyed at the interruption. “This had better be good, Mr. Alchemo,” she warned, as he let himself in and sat down in front of her desk. Calligripho stood behind him, pen poised.
“Miss Headmistress, it has come to my attention that one of your students was… mistreated… yesterday. It has also come to my attention that he has been required to move in with his harassers. This boy, I think you will know. His name is Paxton, I believe. I was wondering if something could be done about it.”
The headmistress gave him a stern glare. “I personally oversaw that arrangement. It is his punishment for prior offences. And frankly, it is none of your business how I run my school. I will do as I like here, with who I like. Is that clear, Mr. Alchemo?”
Alchemo sighed, but smiled softly. “Now, now, Miss Headmistress. You may remember the rather generous contribution that my good friend King Karlenio gave to this school. I’m sure he would not approve of this treatment at all.”
The Headmistress paled. “You can’t do this! This is outrageous!”
Alchemo shrugged. “It is the King’s money. He can do what he likes with it, and give it to whomever he pleases. Is that clear, Miss Headmistress? So, let’s talk funding, shall we?”

Pax has some friends in high places!
@calyhuge ooh…nice one!

#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSeb@whalekeeper SCREEEEEEEEEE READING THAT WAS….WAS….
PURE JOY!!! UNADULTERATED JOY!!!
DOES SEB HAVE A CRUSH?!?! DO I DETECT A SHIP IN THE FUTURE?!?! AHHHHHHHH *is already planning their wedding XD*
BTW YALL!!! I think I’m gonna put Luna back in, but perhaps not as a POV character, more as a character who is there for Pax’s love interest/friend but doesn’t technically have any RPs on her own.

Oh my goodness ummmmmm… maaaybe? XDXD He flirts with her incessantly, in tense action scenes and stuff, and she either plays along or is too unhinged to fully process what he’s saying (depending on… well I might mention it later).
But yes, they are shippable. At nine and ten years old!
He would brandish flame-throwers for her…
They actually never get past innocent flirting (and Seb never seriously thinks to try doing more) until he’s almost sixteen. Mostly because he has superhero stuff to worry about, finding his mom, the end of his universe, etc.
That’s when *ahem* the story ends in kinda tragedy…?
BUUUuUuUuUTTT ANYwAYs *cough cough* That’s not important right now
So yeAH, he is, just not very seriously. Should be fun to play with 🙂
…
Yeah that works! Gives you some characters to work with, without actually writing from their POV 😉
“Everything is a mountain”
@whalekeeper TRAGEDY?!?! NOOOOOO!!!! THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!
wait…nothing happens to Seb tho right….?
RIGHT?!?! Like…he doesn’t die or anything….right???
I would seriously be heartbroken….
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSebXDXDXD I’M SORRYyYyYYY
I can’t make any promiseeeeeessssss. He’s a sad little boi at heart.
The genre’s like… how do I explain it…
1930s inspired cartoon superhero comedic tragedy.
Yeah. Let’s go with that.
So it’s super fun but at the same time dark, and the characters get cool arcs that end nicely but also in disappointment… because it ends abruptly and so much COULD have happened, but it didn’t, and there’s only spiraling violence, and Seb never gets all that he wants even though he actually deserves it for once –
You know, to not spam this RP, maybe I should just start a Seb Universe topic XD
“Everything is a mountain”
@whalekeeper 😭 😭 nuuuu…..the baby…but…he deserves so much love…
But he doesn’t…die…right?
#IfMarcelDiesIRiot
#ProtectMarcel
#ProtectSeb@calyhuge Oh yeah! someone can stand up to the headmistress and live to tell the tale, finally!!
lol
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
I will say, for a baby he is pretty tough ❤️
Like I said, no promises.
“Everything is a mountain”

@calyhuge ahh, I love it XXD
@godlyfantasy12 hey, would it be good with you if Ezra DID find Pax, or not yet? 🙂 @whalekeeper @esther-c @keilah-h @smiley @anyone-else-idk-lol-XDsoooooo, some of my people are missing Breakfast for something…heh
Erich
“I call to attention this “Save All Of The Nice People In This School Organization”, trademark pending, to Attention!”
“Kinda long, isn’t it?” Tony mused.
Erich shot the black-haired teenager a glare. “I’m still working on it…Tony!”
Tony held up both of his hands in mock surrender. “Sorry, sorry…geez, didn’t mean to wound your pride.”
Erich rolled his eyes. “Moving on…did we get any copying work done last night?”
Tony grinned, pulling a notebook out of his backpack. “Sure did…four pages worth.”
Bucky whistled, seated on the table in the library. “Didn’t know you could write that fast, Tony.”
“Oh, shut up. My roommates were asleep, and I told them I’d be working on homework late into the night…they bought it, so I got four pages copied before I needed to sleep.”
Riker slowly nodded, seated in a chair beside the table Bucky sat on. He bit his lip. “People got hurt yesterday…Wolfgang was even taken to the hospital…Leo told me. And Paxton…who knows what happened to him.”
Erich nodded and grinned. “All the more reason to copy this notebook, so we can know all that they know…and have proof that they’re bullying AND getting information from their mother.”
“Why don’t we just contact the police?” Steve asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Because of Miss FancyWings being so rich. She’s like Pierce, Steve…she has influence all because she’s fancy and rich.”
Erich chuckled. “Miss FancyWings…nice one, Tony.”
Tony winked. “Thanks…thought she deserved such a nickname.”
“I have a lot less nice names for her sons.” Bucky muttered.
Erich nodded. “Me too…alright everyone, look at this: I made a schedule, so we’ll know who has the notebook when…but I need to shred this after this meeting, so everyone better memorize it. Bucky will have the notebook by tonight, and you’ll be responsible for copying more pages of this notebook, got it?”
Bucky nodded and smirked. “Let’s take these winged boys and their mother down.”

@whalekeeper told me a bit of what happens to Seb… I want to say it so bad but that would probably be some sort of copyright abuse or something XD
@keilah-h yes ma’am here comes the cavalry@freedomwriter76 you’ll probably find out soon, but Calligripho can write ridiculously fast. And Brianaro will absolutely want in on the SAOTNPITSO club.
