twst x ddlc sayori mc
I have met so many new people after coming to nrc. I've helped so many more as well but no one will help me. I feel this metaphoric rope tighten around my neck a little every day. It won't stop no matter how many people I help it never loseins up. It’s almost like someone chose me to feel the most miserable. I can't tell anyone about this because they already have too much to worry about. Thay have to get better. I don't need help there because their problems are worse than mine. So I keep feeling the rope tighten. I shouldn't burden people who are already burdened.
One day the rope stopped. That invisible nuse stopped tightening around my neck. Because it was no longer invisible. Standing on the chair I smiled, no one will have to worry about my problem now. If I just die they won't have to worry about my problem. They can focus on themselves.
“Negh henchman what are you doing?” Looking back at grimm I stopped. “Nothing, what's the matter grim?” I said with a faked cheerful tone.  I think Grimm noticed it was fake. “N-nothing let's go to class henchmen I need to become the best soricer after all.” smiling at him I said “Ok grimm” and so i moved my head out of that nuse. Stepping down for the chair. One more day then that invisible rope fell over my head once more. Tightening to a suffocating amount. The day went by quickly nothing remarkable happened for once. At lunch I sat down with Ace and Duce as always. My smile faltered for a second. I think they noticed “hay sayori are you doing ok?” duce asked “ya why are you worried about me?” my cheerful tone felt like it was going to explode my vocal cords, the nuse tightening more. “You… seem… off…” “I’m fine, really stop worrying about me.” my voice wipers at the end.
“Henchmen, is this about this morning?” my face dropped. “No” my voice was full of dread the two quickly caught onto that. “Grimm, what happened to sayori.” Ace said he had stayed silent about the discussion till now. “Henchmen had something around their neck and were standing on a chair.” my eyes went wide. Why did he say that? The two immediately wiped their heads to me “sayori you didn't try to please tell me grimm is wrong and it was something else not why how.” tiers fell from my eyes. “Why did you tell them grimm” gripping my uniform I ran away ran as far away as my legs could carry me. The bell rang signaling that lunch had ended.
I sat there all day in that spot. The nuse was now crushing my neck. Crying and crying made them worry about me, someone without magic without a will to live, someone who knew way too much. All because she knew the same thing and I could do what she did to me last time. Instead of her I can do it to myself. Someone tapped my shoulder.
“Hay sayori it's me your president” looking up i saw monika “your just going to waste your time president. Can you delete me? I don't think I can do it myself, not after their looks.” monika then started to glitch “Ah I’m sorry s om s v er o r c o nec ts on.” “what don't go!” trying to grab the gilching form she was left looking at all of the people she didn't want to see. “Sayori are you ok” the small red haired teen asked her. “Tell us that what those first years said was a joke.” you could hear the heartbreak. “N-no stop it… stop worrying about me now.” she held her head “po- sayori you all helped us and shure some of us are still recovering… but we would've never gotten to this point without you helping us.” Vil told her in a surprisingly gentle tone Holding her shoulders, tears fell from her face “your problems are worse than mine!” “sayori how long have you felt like this… I can only hope not for long.” turning away from the dorm leaders she hangs her head low. “I felt like this even before I came here.” some gasped, some gave her pitying looks. “It's not like i overboted so why are you worried?” she let her arms hang at her sides now. “No it's not like you overbolted a herbivore like you couldn't ever, but It's worse than that! If you don't want us to worry then dont pull stunts like this, it's a pain.” she looked at them “that doesn't help I know too much already. I wasn't even meant to be here.” she gripped the grass around her.” “child of man-” she cut off the tall male’s sentence “EVERYTHING IS A LIE. were in a video game were not real” 
“child of man do you hear yourself. you're here and are feeling sad. I'm here worried about the first friend i made here.” holding her head she felt as if her head was about to fall off. “c-ca n” a female voice spoke out. “Can you hear me?” a glitch appeared beside sayori it was a glitch then a human. “Ah the connection's back” turning away from the group of males she crouched to sayori. “You know everyone misses you right sayori. Both nasuki and yuri are worried about you-.” the figure didn't get that long before she was interrupted. “Who are you and what do you have to do with sayori!” turning back to face the boys she straightened her uniform “who i am doesn't matter call me whatever you wish. I am the reason why sayori is like this. I guess for my actions you can give me a name." Without thinking someone berated out an insult “how about freak then” nodding she smiled “freak it is then ok it’s nice to meet you all I’m freak” that smile not leaving the girl’s face “sayori was always a tad bit sad but due to me messing with her likeability I made her full on depressed. It's only when I deleted her did I start going mad with power.” “I think I can confidently say for all of us. What in the sevens are you talking about?” placing the palm of her hand on her head she shook her head. “What she told you was true”
“Nothing is real.”

the only thing that gave me interest. pt.2
Buddy’s eyes fluttered open. She one hundred percent expected to be on the cold hard floor of the room her mother put her in. yet the moment she woke up the ceiling was wood. “So it wasn't a dream…” Buddy said, she started to sit up slowly. Looking over at the walkie talkie Buddy grabbed it. ‘This will let me talk to Yuu.’ Buddy put the device to the side of her face. Pressing the button Buddy inhaled. 
Yuu’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Ace. “say that again.” Yuu asked with a very pissed expression. “I said you're a sucker, magicless, and a janitor! Your life must suck and now you're taking care of the dead weight student. who mined you isn't in any dorm since they never had the mirror look at them. Like what do you even bother at this point.” Ace said nonchalantly. Grim the cat who had made a ruckus not only in the Ramshackle Dorm but also at the entrance ceremony was now staining beside Yuu. “I’ll give you one more chance to take back what you said bastard. You can insult me all you want but you're not allowed to insult my patient.” Yuu said, taking a few steps towards Ace, Yuu towered over Ace. Yuu’s hands were in his pockets. “What do you mean, oh you mean the person who was in that crappy coffin. You know, I heard a rumor that the coffins you arrive in represent your personality. That must mean they have a shitty personality, just like the fur ball over there.” Ace said with a smug look on his face. Yuu had enough, he gave that asshole enough chances. Winding up a punch, Yuu was ready to rip this Ace a new one. That was until the walkie talkie alerted him to Buddy trying to talk with him. Yuu immediately changed his stance looking away from Ace Yuu took the walkie talkie from his pocket. 
“Meah how dare you insult me like that, that coffin wouldn't even touch my magnificence.” Grim said mad, Yuu ignored the insult all for the sake of Buddy. Putting the device to his ear he pressed the receiver button. “Yuu?” Buddy’s voice was a lot more static, and she sounded tired. Yuu was relieved though. “Buddy hay! Are you ok?” Yuu asked, worried. “You're real… I’m still here in this dream… it’s so good to hear you.” Buddy said with a sob. “Hey, it’s ok I’m helping you ok? Has Crowley come by?” Yuu asked. “Yah just before I started talking to you. He came in with paperwork. I've deduced that the money here has the same monetary value as yen. While I don’t use yen very much, I can still make plans for the school. Budgeting may be an issue since I don't know what half of these classes are” Buddy said in a slightly strained voice. “Oh that's good, is there anything else you need? Are you in good health?” Yuu asked. “Yah, I think I’ll be just fine… well uh talk to you soon?” Buddy said it was reassuring to hear from her. “Yah I have something to deal with as well… bye.” Yuu bid adieu. Yuu turned off the walkie talkie. Yuu turned to meet Ace’s face only for Ace to look horrified. “Bastard. You’ll pay for what you said.” Yuu said, grabbing Ace by his collar. “Yuu!” Crowley raced towards the teen and pulled Yuu off Ace. “What is wrong with you Yuu?!” Crowley asked in a very frustrated tone. “That bastard insulted Buddy!” Yuu yelled. “Who- who are you talking about?” Ace asked. “That “dead weight” is Buddy.” Yuu said, kicking towards Ace. “Yuu calm down, you're letting anger get the better of you.” Crowley said. Ace was relieved that Crowley was holding Yuu, because Ace would never forget the Expression Yuu gave him. Pure unfiltered rage, talking to this Buddy person made Yuu even more mad at Ace.
Crowley was told by a student about what happened. Yuu nearly punched Ace that was until Buddy called him. The problem was Grim then took over and tried to burn Ace. Ace had used his wind magic to redirect the fire. Unfortunately Ace burned the statue of the Queen of hearts. Crowley had just about enough. “All three of you will clean a hundred widows. Yuu you threatened one of the students, Grim you attacked one of the students, Ace you destroyed school property. These grave offenses will be absolved once you three clean the windows.” Crowley said letting go of Yuu, who had by now calmed down. “... you're not off the hook.” Yuu said, giving Ace a side eye. That side eye gave Ace chills. 
Buddy sighed as Crowley left. Buddy looked out the window. She fell out of her bed, Scrambling to the window Buddy’s eyes widened. “The sky is clear. Just like dad said.” Buddy spoke out loud. “Shouldn't you be resting?” someone asked Buddy. Buddy turned to meet the other person’s gaze. “Ah! Um, who are you?” Buddy asked. “Ah, where are my manners? I’m Cater Diamond.” Cater said. “Un Buddy. I’m Buddy.” Buddy said, rubbing the behind her head. “You should probably lay back down. you can look out the window all you want when you get better dear.” Cater said with a wink. “Oh uh… yah. I still have a bit more work to do.” Buddy said, pulling the covers on her legs. “Soooo… Whatcha doing?” Cater asked. “Ah! You haven't left?” Buddy asked. “Should I have?” Cater asked. “Probably, besides all I’m doing is accounting.” Buddy replyed "really the first day is for first years to understand the school. So to a third year like me can just do as I please." Cater explained. "Ah I see, unfortunately I don't know if I can go to this school. I don't remember having any level of magic before so I'll probably stay as the school's accountant for a bit." Buddy explained. A nod of silence passed before it was broken. "Ah so um you think your like that Yuu guy?" Cater asked. "Most likely, but I don't even want to go back. The sky is clear and the grass is green. It's even more beautiful then my father told me." Buddy said. "So uh do you have any other skills?" Cater asked, whatever Buddy was saying it probably had some sort of meaning behind it. Some sort of depressing meaning. "Oh I'm pretty good at tarot reading. If you want I can do a reading for you." Buddy said taking two deacks of cards out of there bag.
Buddy shuffled the cards together. "Now I need you to shuffle the cards. These cost me a fortune so please be careful with them." Buddy said handing over the cards. "Oh uh… why do I have to shuffle them though didn't you just shuffle them?" Cater asked. "I'm doing a reading for you. Call it personal touch you can even shuffle the cards you want to see. It's all your choice." Buddy said with a soft smile. "Ah ok I understand now." Cater said. He decided to do a flashy shuffle one that let him show off this skills. "Impressive. Ok now I need you to set the deck down and set one card above three others. Make sure there face down don't want to ruin any surprise." Buddy said instructing Cater on where to put the cards. "Like this? Cater asked. "Exactly like that. Ok I'll flip the one above the three cards here. This card represents you." Buddy said flipping the top card to reveal the four of pentacles. "Well this is an interesting card to pull." Buddy looked up to see Cater's expression. "Hm do you know anything about tarot cards?" Asked Buddy. Cater just looked away. "Playing cards are based off these cards you know." Buddy said placing a finger on the four of pentacles. "This card is the four of diamonds." Buddy said catching Cater's surprise. "If I'm reading this right you highly connected to the playing card the four of diamonds. This card represents financial security. Your family works in money." Buddy said as Cater's expression became that of bewilderment. "How did you know all that?" Cater asked. "The card told me." Buddy said like it was a fact. "I'm getting kind of nervous. So what exactly are the other cards meant to be?" Cater asked. Buddy flipped the first of the four cards. "The fool represents the beginning of something this is your past. Since school has just started up again your probably a bit stressed. I totally understand if you need to take time off, and relax since your now a third year people will probably look to your guidance. that's probably going to be a new feeling for you to deal with." Buddy said with pinpoint accuracy. "Ok you have to be doing something. There is no way you would know that." Cater said nervous.
"All I'm doing is reading the card. It tells me everything I need to know." Buddy said. Flipping over the next card. Buddy's expression dropped seeing it. The tower. "... This is your present what's going on now. Your going through a lot of turmoil and your views are being challenged. Something is destroying your life so to speak, or is it someone." Buddy asked. Cater's expression wasn't a happy one. "Someone is making a mess of what you believe in. There destroying what you worked so hard to build." Buddy finished, Buddy's hand hovered over the last card. "Hay before you flip the last card over tell me what spell your using." Cater asked. His expression was dead serious. Looking at Cater Buddy smiled. "I'll tell you after these events transpire, ok?" Buddy said flipping over the last card. The Knight of cups. "There's no need to worry. Someone will help you, so to speak a white knight will come and save you. Whoever is destroying your life will be stoped by maybe a close friend." Buddy said with a smile. "... Your telling me that I'm going need to be saved #lame." Cater said with a sigh. Buddy looked shocked at the use of hashtags. "Well if you don't like it change it. These aren't set in stone and you can always take charge if you don't want to be saved." Buddy said leaning back in the nurse bed. "I really do what to know what spell you used." Cater asked. 
"It's just outsider perspective. All I did was read the cards and tell you what they told me." Buddy said taking the cards form the reading and put them away. "I'll figure out what spell you used. When I find it I'll do a reading for you." Cater said. "Sure thing. I'll be waiting till then." Buddy said as Cater left the room. "he'll probably forget about this. Everyone dose." Buddy said taking a cigarette form the pack in her bag. She put one in her mouth, and lit it. "... All I did was look at the card and then look how you reacted. That Diamond on your face didn't help either. It's like you never even thought that I wasn't using magic." Buddy said with a sigh. Throwing the rest of the pack back in the bag. Exhaling Buddy looked out the window once more. "It really is beautiful." Buddy mudders. As minutes passed and Buddy fished work quickly. Having used the cigarette up Buddy panicked for a second on where to snuff it out. using the underside of the side table then dropping it behind the bed she felt a lot better after the smoke. Yet now she was left with nothing to do. Leaning back Buddy looked at the walkie talkie. Pressing the button on the device she waited, Nothing no pick up. Buddy wanted to cry Yuu had been so nice to her why wouldn't he pick up now? 
After several failed attempts at trying to call Yuu. Buddy was about to reach for another cigarette, but was interrupted by Crowley. "I've come to pick up the paperwork you filled out." Crowley said. "Uh um right here." Buddy headed over the small stack of papers over to Crowley. Crowley looked at the papers for a moment before looking back at Buddy. "These are very detailed. I'm shocked how much you were able to get done in such a short time." Crowley said. "I'm smart that's all." Buddy said bluntly. "Well you rest up now. We can't have your wounds getting worse." Crowley said. "Yuu wouldn't pick up my calls. Do you know why?" Buddy asked. Crowley's face became grim. "No he should have had it on at all times since he's just doing some janitorial work. I'll go check it out." Crowley said. "Please do I'm going to get some sleep now ok?" Buddy said, pulling the covers over her body. 
Crowley quickly walked out of the infirmary. Even though Yuu probably fished cleaning the windows but checking the cafeteria would be a good place to start. In Front of the doors to the cafeteria Crowley heard something "If the head mage finds out." Crowley quickly opened the doors to the cafeteria. "If I found out what?" Crowley said. The three students look like they have just been caught red handed. But Crowley was more concerned about the now broken Chandler. "What did you three do!" Crowley yelled. "Uh I'm so sorry headmage I'll pay for the damage." One deuce spade said. "With what money it took a billion madol to make it and it will take just as much to fix it!" Crowley said. "All four of you will be expelled!" The headmaster yelled. "Uh but I'm not a-" Yuu was cut off. "Quite Yuu did I not say that those walkie talkies were given so that Buddy could contact you whenever they needed something! Yet for some reason every time they tried to contact you, but you never picked up." Crowley said his hands on his hips. Yuu looked down in shame. “I… have no excuses. I turned it off so it wouldn't bother me.” Yuu said, biting his lip. “I’m sorely disappointed in you.” Crowley said his eyebrows furrowed. “Well. I’ll have to expel… you two your Ace Trapola. You with the dark hair. State your name.”Crowley demanded. The boy with dark hair looked down. “Deuce spade.” Deuce said. Crowley thought for a moment. “I will expel you both Yuu. while your services to the school have helped one of our students. I will have you leave the premises. you are no longer in employment.” Crowley said in a serious voice. Yuu fell to his knees. “God dammit... Crowley, plese, I’m begging you. Tell me how I can stay.” Yuu said his head to the floor. Ace, Deuce, and Grim looked shocked as Yuu was prostrated at Crowley’s feet. “Ah! What- what are you doing Yuu!” Crowley said, taking a step back. “Please I’ll do anything to keep taking care of Buddy until they make a full recovery. I’ll leave after their batter. Dammit man I’ll do anything.” Yuu said as tears streamed down his face. “Dude… uh yah headmage we want to stay.” Deuce said, looking a little nervous. Crowley looked at Yuu distressed. “Stand up Yuu. I’ll give you one chance to rectify this wrong. Get me a magestone. That was the most expensive part of the chandler. And with the budget Mx Buddy gave me there is enough for the reapers if we exclude the mage crystal.” Crowley said looking as Yuu got up. “Where can we find one?” Yuu asked. “Erp… man Yuu bounced back quickly.” Ace said. “Well I’ll give you till next morning. You can find a magestone at the dwarf mine, use the dark mirror to get there. I will not wait a minute sooner.” Crowley said walking out of the cafeteria.

the only thing that gave me interest.
“It's just one more time. I want to go back mom!” Buddy begged. “No, I will not let you go back there! If I have to chain you to this house I will!” Buddy's mother said. She didn't mind the first time she knew her daughter needed something. She knew herself the monotony of life. rusted metal walls were their life, and the sixteen year old had taken up gambling to satiate that boredom. 
Her mother knew well that she could have gotten mad at her daughter. She knew that she could have stopped her daughter from gambling. Her father though he had disappeared, the mother was told that. The mother knew there was something more. Her fathers old job, his brother's death. Yet the girl’s ability to calculate risks, and just mentally make spreadsheets of possibilities made her perfect at gambling. She could also read people very well, it made her popular at school being able to say things that people wanted to hear. Yet it keeps her bored. her mother knew the smarter you were, the easier it was to bore you. 
Buddy was mind numbingly bored. the sigh the neutral expression, so her mother let her gamble to keep her content. Yet Buddy gained a few bad habits from this. Smoking, drinking, and other drugs were used. Buddy smoked when not gambling and drank when stressed. Drugs were only used when smoking wasn't available. Yet her mother only slightly cared about that. The worry was her daughter would get hooked on something that was hard to buy. The woman wouldn't let her last living family die. So here she was roughhousing her daughter so she would stay home. “Mom! It was so fun. For once in my life I was scared of losing! My life was on the line, it was so fun!” Buddy said. Buckshot Roulette, fuck that her daughter would stay safe. 
So after half a minute of struggling and roughhousing. Buddy was in handcuffs and left with scrapes and bruises. “I want you to sit there and see what you have done!” Buddy's mother demanded. Yuu was left with something in the bag she planned to bring to the club. A pack of cigarettes, a beer and a pack of Tarot cards. Taking out the knights and major arcana, Buddy started to play black jack with herself. Never losing a hand, the time waster was monotonous. Boring and useless, the handcuffs dug at her skin. Buddy’s eyes ran over to the beer. Perhaps it would be better to not be sober? No better saved, she was going to spend extra time here it was better to save it for later. Buddy put all the cards away. Buddy looked at the door. Would she put up a struggle? So that's when the banging started. Metal bruised knuckles, then pain. blood falling down them, a chunk of flesh pulled out of her fist. She shook her head. using her whole body now, just one bad placement of her body. Pop her shoulder dislocated. Buddy started to wince. Looking over at the bandages that her mother put in the room. A sigh escaped Buddy’s lips. Wrapping the bandages around her knuckles.
There was something shining behind the bandages. A mirror shard, yet this one wasn't overrun by grime. Buddy looked into the shard and for once saw her own face. She had been called ugly more than a few times by people at clubs. Yet she was sure she was average, now she was certain she was just above average. Her social skills were what made her popular not looks. Then the mirror changed. No longer is there a somewhat foreign face but a green flame. Buddy dropped the shard cutting her chest in doing so.
“Ah, my lovely Lordess,”
Buddy dropped the mirror shard, luckily it didn't break but the sudden change scared her.
“The noble and beautiful flower of evil,”
Buddy then started to panic, something like this had never been reported wiping her head to the door. *bang* Buddy held her eye, she had hit the door nob. 
“You are the most beautiful, number one in this world.”
Looking at the mirror in panic Buddy lay down her cuffed hand hanging at the side of her head.
“ーMirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most…”
‘Board of them all’ Buddy thought to herself. ‘That would be you Buddy’ she continued to herself.
“ーFor thee, guided by the Mirror of Darkness,”
Buddy looked at the mirror. She lived in this dark hell hole her whole life her father left, and never came back.
“Follow thy heart and take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror.”
Buddy looked at the mirror seeing a dark hand reach out from the green flame.
“Flames that turn even stars into ashes,”
stars?’
“Ice that imprison even time,”
‘Ice?’
“Great tree that swallow even the sky,”
‘Trees?’
“Don’t be afraid of the power of darkness,”
‘I am afraid.’
“Come now, show your power.”
‘I have no power.’
“Mine, theirs, and yours,”
Buddy looked at the mirror. hand over her eye she sat up. Took her bag and looked down at the mirror.
“There’s only a little time left for us.”
Buddy reached out to the mirror shard.
“Do not let go of that hand, at all costs.”
Buddy’s hand went through the mirror yet she didn't panic this time. Calm, she grabbed the hand that reached out.
“Welcome to the villain's world Buddy.”
The ending ceremony was about to be complete, but Leona felt uncomfortable for some reason. Something was amiss. Whether it was the heavy scent of blood in the air or the unopened coffin. “Headmage as I would love to wrap this orientation ceremony up there is one coffin that has been unopened.” Riddle said. Leona half hoped that Riddle forgot about the coffin fearing what could be inside it. “Ah yes that one…” yuu looked over to where Crowly was looking. The coffin was small, was fully metal, and looked like it had been cobbled together. Rust plagued the metal and there were dents everywhere in the metal. The worst part was when yuu looked at the bottom of the coffin. *drip* *drip* every few seconds a drop of blood fell from the bottom of the coffin. There was a small puddle of blood from the coffin. 
Crowly had known that the coffin can change its appearance based on who was in it. But most of the time it was just making the coffin bigger for taller students. Even then sometimes small things changed about the coffin like colors changed or details changed. But something like this had not been recorded. A coffin was meant to be comfortable and familiar, whoever had this one seemed to think tight beat up metal places with rust was comfortable. No one had said a thing before fearing what could be inside. The blood didn't help either. Whoever was in it either: A hurt something or B was hurt. “DON'T JUST STAND THERE!” Yuu yelled. Crowley looked back at the magicless student. “They could be hurt.” Yuu said worry in his eyes. Crowley then took out a key from his belt. 
“Oh dark mirror, release that in which you hold onto. Let this talent flourish as you intended.” Crowley said the rusted lock on the metal box shook. “No. This one shall stay safe with the coffin's grasp.” the mirror replied, the lock then sat still. This sent everyone gasping. “Did you just insinuate that the one in this coffin was not taken for their talent but for safety?” Crowley asked. “No for the start this one was sent for their talent, yet you see their coffin for yourself. It would be for the best to keep them safe within their own world.” the mirror replied “well you heard what the mirror had to say whatever is in there should say in there.” Vil said, looking at the metal box in disgust. “NO! Even if so they'll DIE” Yuu yelled once more, running to the coffin Yuu pulled at the lid and pulled at the lock. *click* the lock fell off. 
their chest fell and rose. 
Blood stained their robes.
Most of all the blood fell down their body thinly.
The huffing was like nails chalkboard to Yuu. 
The worst part of it all, their eyes were open and moving. They were conscious!
A horrible groin of pain came from the person.
No one wanted to see something like this. They were handcuffed. Black eye busted lip cuts and bruises everywhere. “What. where am I?” the person asked as they fell forward, eyes closing as they did so. Eye bags clear under their unbruised eye. Crowley caught the person before they could hit the ground. “Everyone leave now! I shall bring this student to the infirmary. It is best if you all forget what you witnessed today.” Crowley said. His voice held authority. ‘This young mage’s life was at risk. If any of the students were to watch them die it would surely induce an amount of trauma that would require the school to get a counselor. Heaven knows the school doesn't have funding to do so.’
“I’m not going to leave them. Not with you, not alone, not by themselves. I’m going to help them” Yuu said, running with Crowley. “Young Yuu you are not meant to be on this campus you have no magic aptitude.” Crowley said. “I may not but I have a level of medical knowledge you probably don't. I am going to help that person no matter what.” the young man said with a passion. “Fine you will only stay to help him… we don't even have a nurse we just have people who have medical knowledge. If we have a full time nurse… Yuu you have hereby been highered by me, Dire Crowley. It would be better than sending you off penny-less and hungry onto the streets.” Crowley said. As the two entered the infirmary Crowley placed the injured student onto the bead. Yuu’s eyes narrowed and he became silent. “I will ask you to leave Crowley. I am going to assess the damage. As such I will have to remove the robe hopefully that is where all the injuries are. If I have to remove the body suit I will, but I’d rather not let you see whatever is under that.” Yuu said looking around for a sink, he started washing his hands once he found one. “No, I will not leave you with the student alone; he has the right to have two people watch over him.” Crowley said. “... he him, he him, he him. Are we even sure THEY are male. For all we know THEY could be female, I’m magicless there's a chance the Mirror took a woman. You probably didn't hear them but their voices were very feminine. Voice is not a way to discern gender, but what they say… there like me I know it.” Yuu said, pulling gloves on his hands. “Even so this student fell into my school injured. H- they deserve treatment.” Crowley said with a frown crossing his face. “Fine stay, don't say I didn't warn you.” Yuu said.
Yuu first examined the person's body. He removed the robe, or a better word tried to. Yuu looked at the wrist after the sleeves did not move. Yuu’s eyes narrowed further. “You don't happen to have a lockpick or something that could cut metal do you, Crowley?” Yuu asked “no we do not have any like that why would you?” Yuu pulled up the person’s hands. “Seems we have an issue here. They are losing blood at an alarming rate and I can't even get their clothing off them.” Yuu said to Crowley. Crowly immediately knew what he had to do. Casting a spell that could cut the metal Crowley then took a step back letting Yuu remove the robe. “Looks like I was right. Gender female, gender orientation unknown.” Yuu said looking over at Crowly. “Just because a body is female dont mean they identify as female, ok. You shall keep addressing them using genderless pronouns.” Yuu said, looking back. “Unfortunately it seems that the body suite is covering the wounds. I will request you leave once more. I will remove the body suite.” yuu said, propping the girl up as he undoes the body suit. “Fine I shall not watch, but I will not leave the room. “ Crowley said, turning around. 
“There are several contusions and deep cuts along the arms, legs, chest, and abdominal area. The back seems relatively fine but the right eye seems to have been hit as well. The knuckles are also bruised but also scrapped. Their hand is cut. I will bandage this.” Yuu recites while bandaging the body. “I will wrap their whole body in bandages aso put ice where the bruising is the worst. for the cuts I will add patches to the cuts. Hopefully they will be able to apply the appropriate presser. For the back eye a cold compress will be applied as well.” Yuu spoke out what he was doing as if to tell himself the steps he was to do.
“Mr Yuu while I do appreciate your commentary. as It helps me understand what you are doing. Do you think you could be a little quieter?” Crowley asked. “An arm has been displaced.” Yuu said, looking at the hand. “Pardon me?” Crowley asked. “I will fit it back into its sockets. I will have to sling the arm.” Yuu said. As a pop sound happens. “Ah!” the girl said. “Sh it’s ok. Your arm was dislodged. I’m just putting it back.” Yuu said. The girl just looked away as yuu put the arm into a sling. “What’s your name?” Yuu asks. “Buddy… you missed a spot.” Buddy said. “Were.” Yuu asked Buddy pointed at their chest. “Here.” Buddy said. Yuu’s eyes looked away. “Can you do that yourself?” Yuu asked. “Sure, do you have anything I could wear as well?” I rather not be just in my underwear.” Buddy asked. “Uh! Crowley” Yuu asked. “I know I’ll go get the patient uniform. It’s been a while since they were used. Students kept on tearing them apart.” Crowley said as Yuu handed Buddy a patch and some bandages. Yuu looked away “how did you end up like this?” Yuu asked. “I’d rather not talk about it. If I do, you'll just pity me.” Buddy said. Yuu’s lips tightened “what’s so wrong with pity?” Yuu asked. “I don't need any,” Buddy replied. “Then can you at least tell me why you're handcuffed?” Yuu asked nervously. “... authorities did not do it.” Buddy said fishing the wrapping. “I’m done.” Buddy said to Yuu. Crowly came into the door. “I am back with the patient uniform. I brought the smallest size for you. For I am kind” Crowley said bursting into the room. “Could have knocked.” Buddy said. “Miss Buddy me and Yuu will vacate the room so you can get changed-” “no can do.” Buddy interrupted Crowley. “Eh pardon?” Crowley asked. “My arm is broken, my hand is cut. That's not even counting the endless amounts of bruises. I can't change into this myself.” Buddy said her cheeks puffing up. “Crowley, I'll stay back and help her.” Yuu said. 
Crowley sighed. “It’s getting late, and I would need you on hand in case Miss Buddy’s injuries get worse. Ah there's an abandoned dorm you can stay at. Just a walk away from the school building.” Crowley thought for a moment. “I’ll get Sam to give me something that could keep communication between you two. But just helping Miss Buddy is not enough. You'll be a janitor too I understand your situation. It’s just that I can't have just anyone on campus.” Crowley said. “If Yuu has to work then I will as well.” Buddy said. Crowley looked surprised. “I’m good with money, if you need an accountant or anything related to budgeting I can do it. I’d rather keep my mind still sharp.” Buddy said. “Oh my I have two talented young adults in my midst. And they both wish to work for the NRC!” Crowley said, crying. “Crowley Sr. please be an adult, and you should leave the room.” Yuu said, pushing the headmaster of the school out of the dormitory. 
After a minute or so Buddy looked at the clothing. “... please tell me I’m not dreaming.” Buddy said. “Huh?” Yuu inquired. “Everything please tell me that the clothing is comfortable, tell me that this soft bed is real, that I’m just not really laying on a mattress pretending like I’m getting help after I got injured.” Buddy said tears falling down their face. “AH! Um it’s real you felt the pain right?” Yuu said. “Yes but there's no feasible way I should be here. I should still be trapped inside the room bleeding out grasping onto the mirror piece.” Buddy said, looking at the sheets on her bead. “For god sakes I shouldn't have sheets on my bed either. I’m not wealthy enough to have them!” Buddy said, now placing a hand over their open eye. “Wealthy to have sheets? Where do you come from?” Yuu asked. Buddy just looked away. “I don't know, I just don't know.” Buddy said. Yuu sighed. “You're here now.” Yuu said with a soft smile. 
“Yuu I don't plan on waiting all night. I have returned with walkie talkies. I will give one to MIss Buddy and one to you in case Miss Buddy needs anything.” Crowley yelled through the door. “Well see you tomorrow?” Yuu asked. “Yah.” Buddy said. Moonlight shone through the window and the light hit Buddy’s face at the perfect angle. Her hair looked like it glowed, her eyelashes shone enhancing her eye even more. “You shouldn't keep your employer waiting.” Buddy said. “Oh shoot right!” Yuu said running out of the infirmary. Buddy looked at the closed door. Closing her eyes she fell asleep.

Ask Alice's: I don't know who this letter will reach. I am not even sure I care, as I too am lost in my own wonderland. I need a way out and your stories are my escape, I plead the 5th, tell me about yourself, or anyone for that matter, who is 5? Rescue me w/ a story, as daily I step through the hidden worlds of self admiring its beautiful decay.
fifth Alice: "I came here through a rabbit hole... I tend to want to see the best in people, but that can be hard sometimes..."
the fifth looks away in thought.
fifth Alice: "oh my mom raised me! I never had a dad though."

Dear Bonnie Anne, I followed my friend into the fray, pirate fray that is and need some fashion advice. This pirate attire is a tad bourgeoisie for my taste. I need something practical and fashionable. Would a Parasol work as a shield w/ a hidden blade in its handle? I am thinking it would be a shield and Blade combo, to slay them w/ Fashion. Yours, Calamity Capston the Charming.
the fox lady let out a sigh.
Bonnie Anne: "you want to be fashionable while fighting?"
Bonnie Anne placed the letter closer to the edge of the ship.
Bonnie Anne: "unless that Parasol is as hard as steel and made of rubber it wont be much of a shield. and a hidden blade is not vary good in battle. too thin, its only really good for getting past checkpoints. if you want real fashion then that depends on how you fight. we tend to brake up fighting styles into classes. one of such classes is musketeer, we wear the least amount of armour. witch also means we have the most fashion based outfits. though we do like more uniform like clothing. buccaneers tend to wear armour so they have the least amount of fashion choice. whatever you do don't get into Monquistan fashion. it changes in weeks if lucky.

5th Alice: Oh my, that is horrible, I heard what your sibling said about 1st Alice and you. What happened exactly, if you dont mind me asking? Also, they mentioned getting a house, can you explain.
fifth Alice is now currently sitting on a log.
fifth Alice: "sibling? I don't have a sibling. if your talking about the forth then I would understand but I'm an only child."
the fifth look around nervously.
fifth Alice: "I don't want to talk about the first. at least not right now since I ran away, I just felt shocked you know."
the fifth took a moment to think.
fifth Alice: "I know nothing about a house?"

Dear 2nd Alice, I so want to understand first Alice but I am afraid to write her. Could you share your insights: "Why does the 5th fear her so, and why does the 3rd taunt her so" Is she just but misunderstood? Or are her crimes that real? Please, you are the thoughtful and reasonable one....I beg, help me see past the red ace she bears w/ such disdain and pride.
second Alice: "your asking me about someone who committed a genocide in the name of getting back home. that woman was a monster I'll tell you that. only ever seen her in action once. brutal if you ask me, no she is a brute."
third Alice: "I hate her since she survived the longest and well I know it was torture for her I do still despise her for it. but no one hates her as much as the forth."
forth Alices: "she's the one who killed us!"
F twin: "if you want more context she killed my brother and then the world trapped me like it did her except I got a house."
second Alice: "If you truly want to know more about why the fifth is afraid you should ask the darling kid your self"
third Alice: "will you ever stop with your stupid nicknames."
second Alice: "ugh shut up queenie! It's a habit you'd know that by now!"

3rd Alice: "my Queen..." *bows gracefully "What is this green club of which you speak?"
the third Alice looks in confusion.
third Alice: "playing cards have suits right? the Spade, diamond, club, and finally the heart. well each of us once had one of these suits on our hands. most of us had them on our right hand. but the little pipsqueak boy had it on his left. something about when he and his sister would hold hands it would make a heart. but beat to ask the little book worm your self."
the third Alice shrugged. but then realised something.
third Alice: "ah but I did tell you that already didn't I. you want specifics don't you. well the Ace means death right it's also intelligence? its only natural that the Ace would give it's welder the ability and knowledge to kill anything. but its more on the subconscious scale. though that is all you'll get form me for now."
the third Alice gave a giggle

Go Ask Alice: She smooths her gloves out carefully, making room for pen and quill. "In this purgatory all I get to do is watch and wait. They do not see it, but you are indeed the Queen, I need to ask before I arrive, are you sure you know which grave she is headed, what if it is yours and I take your place? Did I spot a wrinkle on your fair hand? Tic tic goes the rabbits watch, your time is near. What if first Alice has been making a path for you all this time...dont you see it?" The newest victim opens her fan wide. Smiles at her careful taunts and tease.
the third Alice: "How do I know that the First's grave is near?"
the third Alice laughs. at the shear Idea that they insinuate she didn't know.
the third Alice: "why I'm a phantom my dear sweet idiot, a ghost, a demon. It's been years since I have died, so what dose one do when no one sees you? Travel being a ghost has it's perks. one such perk is to pass through anything. so I would often look at our dear first Alice suffer, it was a grate way to pass some time."
the third looked at her right hand, no longer dose a green club lay on it. A frown crossed the third Alice's Face. no wrinkles, but the third always loved the club. as dead though that "perk" was no longer hers. she struck the parasol onto her hand.
the third Alice: "I'll have you know not just anyone can take my place only the green club can. even with that I know my daughter struggles to keep peace since she doesn't hold the Green club."
a tsk escapes the thirds lips.
the third Alice: "and for that comment on the first carving the path. she may have made way but that path is now unkempt and overgrown. and it dose not matter who made it it only matters who uses it"
Forth F twin: "what did I just listen to?"
the second is seen slowly waling towards the two.
second Alice: "whats going on here?"
third Alice: "nothing got another letter this time it was given to me."
the third gave the second the letter. the second huffed.
second Alice: "we all know every part of this small world. you know this wonderland is small right? A Ghost can travel the whole world in three years. it's remembering anything that's hard. it's why the first only knows about these woods. she hasn't even had enough time to look at the other contraries that we made. and I think we would know at least our own graves."
third Alice: "and for us we know everyone else's grave. the male twin the second and me are all well travelled. well the male twin perhaps not as much as me and the second."

A Queen's taunt
third Alice: "oh my you just missed her. let me guess the second told her about your... "Little Crime.""
the first Alice stopped in her tracks. slowly turning around to meet the third's gaze.
F twin: "hay third don't you think your going too far."
Third Alice: "nonsense! this Criminal should be seen as such!"
First Alice: "Do you even know were she's headed!"
Third Alice: "Why of course! she's headed to your grave."
the third Alice took a fan out form her dress she spun it around her left hand. The first's eyes widened.
Third Alice: "my goodness! if you do want to catch her before she makes it to your grave better start ruining."
the third then drew her fan Across her eyes. nothing but a big grin across it she put the fan away. then took off one of her Gloves and turned it inside out.
twin F: "your so mean!"
Third Alice: "Why of course! It's just said she didn't see it."
twin F: "and after all that! you truly will never change."
third Alice: "never count one me of all people changing. besides while that brute is dealing with that we have time to plan."

Go Ask Alice: A white rabbit led the 5 down a small twisty hole, down and down they went until they took a tumble at the end. Ass over tea kettle as one would say. Clothes and hair a mess, all 5 stood....w/ a snicker snack in their voice and clicky clack of scissors in had and murder in their eyes...they found their way to a door. The sign on it said: you cant drink me, or eat me but you may ask....
Sasaki asked "Why me have I become your wind chime"
Yamane asked "Why did you take my voice"
Kai asked "Was I to be your queen?"
The children asked "were we to be your Alice?"
fifth Alice: "I don't quite understand your letter. are you telling me about the Alice's past?"
third Alice: "what do you mean? you were led by a Rabbit weren't you?"
fifth Alice: "I mean yah I saw a rabbit but led? no I came here on my own."
the forth F: "Five? are you implying that our fifth will die?!"
the forth M: "we wont let that happen! were going to get the fifth back home!"
third Alice: "united under the simple prospect that we are to get back at this twisted world."
fifth Alice: "I don't care! I just want some time alone!"
the fifth said running as she saw the first Alice approach.

Alice's next step
each step was deeper then then last. the wonder land "water moss" kept splashing on the fifth's boots "how much longer? I've been trapped in this forest for who knows how long." the fifth said. "well if path was as bright as it once was perhaps, I'm not even sure if were on it" the first said. "you keep mentioning that what colour was this so called path?" the fifth asked the first's phantom. "ah the colour would be a blood red." the first said. the fifth with the first's sword in hand checked the vine in front them for any life.
"just cut it down who cares if it's alive or not." the first said. "I do this world is interesting it would be a shame if the inhabitants were to die." the fifth said. "are we talking about the same world. you can see me right I'm not talking to another insolent child am I?" the first said. "yes we are talking to each other. it's just I feel like it would be a bad mistake to kill anything here." the fifth said.
"I can understand why you think that Alice..." the first said. the fifth stood still and turned to meet the first's gaze. "what?" the fifth asked. "everything here is meant to keep you here. I learned that early on. so I cut down everything in my way... everything that kept me here." the first looked down at the fifth. "I see but there letting me pass." the fifth said as some striped vines moved out of the way. "that's because you have the red Ace on your hand. nothing will mess with you if you have my power." the first smirked. "yet you used that power to hurt others." the fifth said. "you wouldn't understand. I had a family a husband, a Daughter." the first said with a clenched fist.
"you also have my voice, so if intimidation doesn't work we can always charm them." the second said placing a hand on the fifth's shoulder. the first then swiftly pulled the second off of the fifth. "I thought all that time you spent serving tea to nobles taught you to not butt in on a lady's conversation." the first said putting the second in a head lock. "well you charmer aren't you-" but before the second could finish the first put her hand over his mouth as the second pulled at the arm around his throat. "I know when your planing something. we have a genuine chance to get back at this world. don't let your own stupid agenda hold us back." the first said.
after a bit of prodding the second manged to wiggle free. "and you aren't, I hope you don't plan on playing the saint not after what you said mere moments ago. the whole "just cut it down who cares if it's alive." we know your sob story, and hate to brake it to you it doesn't make up for the literal genocide you committed!" the second said. "genocide? Alice you-you didn't commit a genocide." the fifth said shocked. "oh, you didn't tell her?" the second said a large grin slowly spreading across his face. the fifth Ran off path. "no don't go into the woods!" the first yelled. the first then turned to the second. "You'll pay for this when we get back. mark my words." the first said hostility dripping form her voice. "I'd like to see you try." the second said smugly.

The Pirate
What does one get a pirate captain for their Birthday? I took the boys ashore to shop for a gift but they spent most of the booty getting drunk before 11 am. Ive got some gold left, steady legs and need a gift for our fine Captain Esmerelda. She has a tough exterior but I know she be a lady at heart. I could use your advice.
Captains First Mate, Samuel Hartness
The Pirate: "good question, the best thing to gave pirate captain for their Birthday?"
The Pirate got lost in thought for a moment.
The Pirate: "a party but it seems like you already had yours! so I guess a cake or some orange seeds. if you don't already have orange trees growing on your ship."

Hazel, my employer has been asked to speak to her dead husband for clarification on his will. She will only allow this to be done via a OuiJa board and specifically asked for you. The pay should be to your satisfaction, double your normal rate and all expenses paid to Hamptons.
paranormal investigator: "huh OuiJa? haven't touched one of those in a long time."
Hazel takes a moment to think about the offer.
paranormal investigator: "sure why not. and hay wont hurt to come back to try finding evidence of the ghosts with one of those."
Hazel takes one over of the letter.
paranormal investigator: "a will is involved? I hope you don't plan using my expertise to further your own agenda...
heaven knows I deal with enough people like that."
