After a rather strange start in the day followed by a surprisingly relaxing walk through the high class district Lyn, Reymondo and Selene find themselves at the entrance to the Academy grounds. The big open gate invites people along onto the rather large campus between the three buildings that serve as the Academy. There are groups of students chatting in a rather distracting manner but the atmosphere seems surprisingly relaxed after the events of last night.
A good few students are making their way from and to the academy. Based on how many people are here it must still be very early in the day.
The group enters and Lyn can't help but smile to herself. "Leaving the Academy yesterday, I didn't have the chance to take a good look at it. It's bigger than I remembered it being." she ponders about the events of yesterday. "I wonder if their security will improve as time goes on. I heard someone mention this place was brand new. I suppose that's to be expected."

Selene takes in the size of the place she is walking through. She has been in large places before, but it was never a school. She looks around at the buildings and is curious at how many windows had classrooms. And if they didn’t. The unknown played on her natural childish curiosity.
She looks up at Lyn as she comments about security. “What do you mean by that?” Her head slightly cocked. “Did something happen?” She smiles. “Don’t worry Lyn I have your back. If I can’t see them you bet that I could sure as hell hear them.”

Reymondo nods at what Lyn is saying as he looks at the building. "You're right. I never did get to have my 'free tour of our school' they were offering."
He doesn't look around for much longer, foucing once again at the task at hand. "Well seeings how it is still pretty early in the morning, I don't think I am going to get a hold of Kaavi. Why don't we just help you get enrolled Lyn? I'm sure it won't take too long and even if it does, it will be passing the time for us."
As he follows Lyn, he looks at his brand on his palm. "Soon...I hope to be able to put this to good use soon. I really hope I am a quick learner when it comes to this." "And if you're not?" Rey lets out a sigh as he sees Mitsuko walking with them now. "How long are you going to stay? Would you let the others leave you behind while you worked on this?" He doesn't bother answering her, all he does is shrug.

The three make their way across the campus. Lyn answers Selene as they approach the same building they left yesterday. "Well... yesterday there was an incident. A bizarre creature appeared and started attacking students. I don't actually know much more than that because I was waiting in another room with the others until the ordeal came to an end."
She purses her lips and wonders.
"I should be alright registering. Their systems don't seem too terribly complicated."
Suddenly a soft vibration catches Rey's attention. The AQL in his pocket begins to hum a soft chime that repeats itself.
(If he picks up he will hear Kaavi's voice, asking him if he managed to deliver the package to Winters.)

"Already, let's get going to the front. I happen to know one of the ladies that work there. With any luck we can get her and not someon-" Reymondo is suddenly cut off mid sentence when he hears something playing music on his person. Looking surprised, Rey starts digging through his pockets before he finds it is the AQL making the chime. "Oh. It would seem that I am getting a call. One moment please." Rey then walks a few feet ahead before answering the call.
"Hello? ... Oh! Good morning Kaavi. How are you doing? ... Did I manage to deliver the package to Winters? Not exactly. Look, Something happened and I would much rather talk to you face to face about this instead of through the AQL. Is there a location where we can meet up?" Rey pauses as he waits for his answer.

Kaavi, sounding just as distracted as she did the day prior, chats idly with Reymondo and then finally gives him a location they can meet up at. "Ah, was he not home? Oh-" A brief moment later "Right, um... there is a break room on the second floor. I will be heading there myself right now. If you're still nearby I could wait there for you."
While Reymondo and Kaavi wrap up their conversation Lyn begins chatting with Selene. "So, Selene. You seemed pretty excited to see the academy, earlier?" she inquires as the group moves closer to the entrance.
By now they've cleared most of the campus and are now right in-front of the middle buildings entrance. Unlike yesterday it isn't propped open so the first to arrive opens the door.
The inside of the academy is just as extravagant as the outside, with a great hall running down the middle of the building revealing multiple floors above. Students and Teachers all alike are moving through the halls trying to get to their destinations. Though it doesn't seem nearly as busy as yesterday there is still plenty going on.

Lyn's question almost snaps Selene out of her brief space out. Though it was only for a moment she was pondering about what could of attacked them. "Oh! Y-Yes I really wanted to see it when I got here with the others from the tavern, but our destination took us in a different direction. I've always wanted to go to a large school. Something like this. My 'School' " She says doing air quotes with chicken still in hand. "Wasn't as extravagant as this one. I- All they fully taught me was...I just." She stumbles with her words. Becoming visually frustrated. She turns to Lyn. With a disappointed expression, but she was determined. "I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE YOU KNOW?" She says at a higher octave. Not so much yelling but her voice does go up in volume. She turns back pulling the chicken up and closer to her. She rests her chin on its back. "I want to do more than just..." She pauses. "Than just...just what I do you know?"
"I want to experience a proper school life and use my abilities to help people. I want to be know as 'That girl who saved my child' " Her tone changing as she imitates a random person. "Or 'Hey there goes Selene off to help someone I'm sure' " Again her tone changes. "I want to changes lives and be remembered as someone. Not a..." Her tone goes soft. To a Whisper. "...a killer..." She sighs. "Also..." She softly chuckles. "I want to wear the cute uniform. I could totally rock it." She turns her head slightly to Lyn. Her eyes gentle with a soft smile. "Maybe even break a few hearts while I'm at it." She quietly giggles. As she enters the academy her eyes open widely. She mouth slightly gape as she sees the size and beauty of the inner building. She looks all around. Even turning full circle slowly to see all she can. "I want..." Her eyes begin to tear up with happiness. "I want this."

Reymondo nods as he listens to Kaavi speaking to him in his head. He could imagine having someone speak to you in your head would be something people would have to get used to, but not Rey. "That sounds great! I will be there as fast as I can, I am already in the academy. I am helping a friend enroll, so as soon as I am done with that. It shouldn't take very long." If there is anything Kaavi asks, he will answer. If not he will say his goodbyes and hang up.
"Alrighty. Look like Kaavi is ready to talk to us. I told her we would go see her after we wrap things up with Lyn." He then looks at Selene. "There is nothing wrong with being a killer, as long as the killing is to help everyone. However if you want, I could try to wangle some money and enroll you here as well." He looks at her a bit and chuckles. "And yes, I think you would be adorable in one of their uniforms."

Lyn looks a little sullen, thinking about what the girl had been through. But after a brief moment she pats Selene on the shoulder. "That sounds like a great idea." Lyn replies to Selene over the chatting of all the people nearby. "Perhaps we will end up in the same classes at some point." she gives her a soft smile and then turns to Rey who had addressed her by now as well. She ponders for a moment before replying to him "Actually, I should be fine getting through it, since I know you have other matters to attend to. I have seen some of the procedures that go on here during my little time spent here."

Selene stops and turns to Rey. "You're wrong Rey. If you have to resort to killing you've done something wrong along the way. Killing is a last resort used to wipe mistakes. I know that some people can't be reasoned with, but you should never have to kill..." She shakes her head at his offer to pay her way in. "No thank you. Worry about yourself with your money. I'll find a way." As she says all this she feels Lyn's hand and turns to her. "That would be great! We could be the Queens of the class." She giggles with a smile which turns to a childish frown when Lyn says she will be parting ways. "Awwww but we just met." She sighs. "You're like...the only girl I can talk to right now." She lowers her head with and irritated grunt. "So lame."

Reymondo looks a bit surprised at Lyn. "Oh ok. If you are sure. I gave you my AQL number, when you get one make sure you give me a call when you are free." He then looks at Selene smiling. "Please don't change that mindset. We need to have more people who think killing should be a last resort. However I have been burned a bit to much to be as trusting. Either way, let's get going. I don't want to keep Kaavi waiting. He turns to Lyn, "See you soon."
With that he turns and starts walking to where Kaavi told him to meet her. making idol chit chat with Selene in order to get to know her a bit more.

Lyn smiles at Selene as she lowers her head and uses the opportunity to pat the young rogue on the head. "It will be alright. I've come to learn that things seem to have a way to work themselves out." she ruffles Selene's hair and runs two fingers up each side of her ahoge. "And I'll be here for a long while, I believe, so you can always come stop by."
She turns her head to Rey and nods at him. "Yes, I still have it. I'll be sure to do so."
Lyn leans down and gives Selene a light hug before standing up again and extending her hand towards Reymondo for a handshake. "Thank you for all you've done for me so far. I hope I'll be able to return the favor someday."
If the two shake hands she will give him a smile and make her way down a hallway towards the info desk. If they don't, she will nod at him and make her way to the info desk.
Reymondo and Selene continue on their way down the main hall. It seems like everytime Rey comes here the place looks fancier and fancier. Something that initially reminded him of home. The two engage in idle chatter as they make their way to the central stairs located on each side of the main hall and to the second floor.
It doesn't take them too long to find the break room Kaavi was referring to. The sign on the closed door is a big giveaway.
From outside the door Selene (And only Selene) can hear three people arguing together. Two men and a Woman. The woman seems to be furious over some event that happened yesterday - no, rather the lack of security or care. The second man chimes in with a deep but smooth voice; "Sure it is. You may have closed the labs down but we've all seen the bodies. You can't honestly believe this won't have any form of backlash."
A smug sounding young mans voice interrupts. "Well. I don't really know what your problem is. Nothing of note ever happened." a brief pause "You'll better be on your way before I decide to contact your department... 'detective'."
The voices fade. The argument is over.

Selene smiles and looks Lyn in the eyes as she pats her. It was a kind gesture that made her feel cared for. Something only a few people have been able to do. "I hope so Lynee. I really do." Her smile continues and turns to a playful giggle as she attempts to bat away Lyn's hand as she plays with her hair. "Nuuuu stop." Her cheeks turn a faint pink. She looks to her as an older sister. "I'll stop by. WHEN EVER I CAN!!" She yells uncontrollably. She covers her mouth as she inhales sharply. Her yelling was completely subconscious, but it showed how she really felt. Though her body again goes into a stiff shock as Lyn turns to hug her. She is the second person to do so today and one of the few. A small tear comes down the side of her face as she quickly wipes it away when she turns once more to Rey. She waves off Lyn very slowly. Then it turns to a fully extended one. "I'LL SEE YOU LATER LYNEE. GOOD LUCK!!" She says at a higher tone.
Selene turns and follows Rey to where ever he needs to go. (During the chatter she explains part of her back story changing up the ending as to not give her mission away.)
As they near the breakroom. Selene figures its where they need to be as Rey is moving specifically in that direction Selene picks up voices as they close in on the door. She puts out a hand to stop Rey. "Did you say you had to meet someone here right?" Her ears twitch and shift. "There are others in that room." She counts the voices. "At least three. One...no two males and one female." She turns her body sideways and leans towards the door. "By the sounds of it she doesn't seem to happy. Like at all." She narrows her eyes then turns to Rey. "What happened with you yesterday? There is a detective, and by the sounds of the other male...they are trying to cover something up." She looks back at the door concerned and very intrigued. She says faintly with a hint of curiosity. "What...did you do?"

Before they leave, Reymondo happily shakes Lyns hand. "See you in a few minutes." He then turns and leaves.
Rey is very invested in Selene's past. He listens to every word she say and shakes his head at the hardships she had to face. He was getting ready to ask a few more questions when she puts her arm out to stop him. "Yes, this is where I was told to meet up with Kaavi."
He watches her ears twitch as they are picking up sounds that he himself can't. His smile fades when he sees her narrowed gaze and asks what he did. "Well, I did quite a bit yesterday. Feels like the day lasted about a year." He chuckles slightly. "But if there is someone talking about trying to cover something up, I would think it has to do with what happened in this school. You see, when we met Kaavi, she has a demon that looked much like a spider. It has ransaked a room and tried to attack. Unfortunately the spider demon was killed before we could learn why it did what it did. However during the attack, there were some spiders that were attacking the students as well. if i were a betting man, I would put all my chips on them trying to cover that up. After all, wouldn't want to tarnish their good name right?"
He waits a few moments before asking, "Are they still talking in there? I would really like to go inside."

Just on cue, the door slams open and a man steps into the frame. He immediately stops in surprise, not expecting anyone to be on the other side, and apologizes. "Ah, sorry. Didn't see you there." he says.
Rey looks at the tall man and sees a familiar face - Alexander. He is looking just as snazzy as before, although today he is wearing a white suit instead of a black and his blond hair is slicked back, even if a little messily. Alexander in turn recognizes Reymondo right away, surely not at all due to his recognizable flashy coat and his horns peeking out from his dark hair.
"Oh, if it isn't Mr. Vleekk." He seems to have difficulties pronouncing his name, but then again they only briefly met. "You have some great timing, I had meant to contact you but I ended up caught up with other affairs. He briefly glances behind him, stepping far enough out of the way for Rey and Selene to see inside the break room. It seems comforterable but significantly more plain than the rest of the building. Yet somehow it still carries an aura of prestige with it. Kaavi is sitting on a couch filling out some papers and a young man with short dark purple hair is making his way into another room further in.
Alexander then focuses his attention on the young rogue, extending his hand to her for a shake. "Hello there young lady. I assume you're with Mr. Vleks"
