(are hospitals the same in this rp?)
(i think so, idk… maybe there's a special section for people with powers?)
(Alright. Aidan is completely knocked out for now so…I can't really do anything)
(D:)
(Hey sorry, but my life is in shambles-not really but kinda. I need to catch up on some work and pull my shambles together. I almost spend about every hour that I’m awake on this website, and my grades aren’t happy. So I’m going to be off this website for most of this week, I might be on for a little but not much. Sorry!)
(that's fine, hope your grades get better!)
(same here!)
(Good luck!) Zack reappeared, his knife bloody from where he had tusseled with one of the other attackers. No kills, but definitely damage. He cursed and spat in his own rage.
"No! No, this is not right! Zavoem are smarter than this! We are careful with our battles. We are slight, clever, resourceful. They were bashful, loud. They're breakaways, a splinter group. They have to be!"
Zack paced back and forth, anger pulsing in his blood. Suddenly he turned an pointed to Emma, who was tending to Aidan's wounds.
"You. You know pre-war history better than anyone. Who's responsible?"
(Aw thanks. :D)
Perhaps a bit too dumbed down, Sam thought regretfully. Emma closed their- no, her- eyes, pretending to think. "Maybe… that's it! The Silver Serpents! Remember those rabble rousers who formed a secret society to tip the scales - get it? Scales? And they're snakes? No? Alright then - in favor of Zavoem, even though Zavoem publicly denounced them? Unfortunately, no one has ever been able to find out their real identities," Because they were secretly Illeyitome, you clods.
Zack was about to shred her where she stood as she tried to joke around. When she finally explained, he was out the door in an instant, whistling to Vix and making his way toward the academy. There was plenty of info concerning the war there. He just had to find the right stuff.
His daggers found their places back at his side.
Aidan blinked a few times, the bright light in the sterile room blinding him. It took him a few seconds to remember what had happened, but the searing pain in his side reminded him of the previous events.
//hey so I left awhile ago without telling anyone accidentally so i’ll Stalk now :P
Zack found himself standing at the large door to the Academy library. Of course, the door was locked, but he had always had a way with alternate routes and clearing obstacles. The janitor was deaf, so he didn't hear the jangle of his own keys when Zack took them.
The room itself, once inside, didn't seem so large. It was illusion caused by the bookcases, being pressed so close and with so low a ceiling. It felt more like a maze. The attendant's desk was on the other side. Zig-zagging through the cases, he made his way there.
(how about now he finds out that emma is actually a spy?)
(How would the Library tell him that, though?)
(Nvm, he might just hit a brick wall here and jump to his own conclusions. He has been observant so far….)
(he could look up info but then emma is in the next corridor, and communicating to her illeyitome allies. or maybe he looks up emma's files and found that no illeyitome named emma wright ever existed?)
(He'll search for info about the serpents, not find much, consider it, then turn to Emma's files and find nothing. Go from there?)
(Note: dOnt LET ZACk SMElL da FEaR.)
//joanna why
(okay, can @ShadowMisfit start off this arc?)
(I don't really know what to do with Aidan so…let's say he passed out again. I'm just excited for Zack)
Zack went to the computer and flipped it on. The background, a combination of the four clans' symbols surrounded by white feathers, loaded and displayed, "Welcome, user." Zack dismissed it and opened the catalog. Quickly locating a couple of books that could be of use, he wrote down their locations and set out to find them.
After reading them and finding nothing, Zack threw them in the air in his own rage. There was nothing on these Serpents. Zack had heard of them, but there hadn't been much impact from them for their names to be written down.
Where did Emma get the idea that these lowlives could have done that? Or get that equipment?
Emma.
She had been causing issues from the get-go. Pissing people off, causing problems. She apologizes, then gets right back to it.
Zack went back to the computer and started typing.
The bell signaling the end of school rang, and Emma looked around for Zack. However, he search was unfruitful, so she decided to turn to the administrative office. (they keep trackers on the students in case of emergencies) "Mr. Gold, where's Zack right now? I can't find him,"
"The… library," Mr. Gold said, pausing slightly. "I gave him access because he wanted to investigate some suspicious activity on campus,"
The pencil in Emma's hand clattered to the floor as she turned ghost white. "You what?"
Seeing as no doctors were in the room currently, Aidan sat up. He grimaced, holding his side. He noticed that it had been wrapped up in bandages, and it didn't sting as much as before. Still, it hurt.
(Well I guess he didn't steal anything then…)
Zack clicked through until he could pull up Illeyitome's public archival website. They had put it up more as memoration than anything else, but they also posted their current members in a filterable list, in accordance to peace-time law. As he scroled through the list of alive, female members attending the academy, he corners of his mouth slowly fell, until a visible look of dismay showed on his face.
She wasn't there.
One second there was a monitor in front of him, proudly displaying the symbol of peace at last. The next there was a lockdown screen. Zack signed off and sat back, sighing.
Emma sat in front of her laptop, sighing in relief after she had just used the secret protocol to shut down the Illeyitome archives. Hopefully, Zack didn't notice…
Zack was already on his way to admin, fully intending to turn Emma in right off the bat. But just as he got there, something made him stop. He thought about Emma's brother. Regardless whether or not she was an Illeyitome, or whether she was actually his sister, that brother must have served as some motivation for her, surely.
Lock her up, and where does that leave her? It wouldn't be right.
He got so tied up in that thought that he completely missed Mr. Gold's greeting the first time.(Play him for me?)
"Ah, hello, Zack," Mr. Gold greeted. "So what did you find in the library?"
