Domino City Duel Academy

[Thorn_]

[Skipping is fine.]

Izanami, the first card Julia set before Angelica, seems to have the most interest in the girl. While nothing dramatic occurs, the professor can tell there's potential for a connection. What happens in the future, however, will have to rest on the former Mayakashi user's shoulders.

[It was very hard to resist giving her a connection with Nephthys.]

(I went with ones that looked like they worked thematically.)

"Inazami." Julia finally spoke a word after all that time, taking a look at Angelica.

"Japanese goddess of the dead. In most legends she's considered a evil being....but that's not entirely accurate. The morals of a deity are alien to mortals. In some legends she never left the island or arrived into the underworld. Some versions even suggest Izanagi as an out and out villain who was only concerned with his wife's physical appearance....which is not true either. In many ways, her legend is up to the individual to decide who she really is...it only makes sense. She would also synergize well with the Shinobirds. But for now, the ritual beasts seem to be waiting to see who you really are, before they're ready to commit. I'd take them along too even if they'll take time to make their judgment....it will all work out."

Julia made her assurances and for the most part she was confident. This whole experience taught her a lot about the way duel spirits worked, which was good for her too. Though, now she had a yokai from beyond the grave holding a grudge. Still...at this point, she couldn't really make the spirit hate her more, so preparing her former vessel to be the one in control of her spirit than a puppet for it seemed like a good move. There was no telling if Dakki would truly give up trying to dominate Angelica's spirit again.

Julia left most of her thinking to herself, internally, just to observe for now.

"Inazami believes there's more to you than what others would believe. She's waiting for you to reach out to her."

The older woman giggles, but stops herself from torturing the poor girl any further. "Do not hesitate to fetch me if you need anything, Felicia." Yumi saunters down the hall, leaving the student to her own devices.

As she enters the living room, Felicia sees bags full of clothes resting near the couch. Carley has already started looking through them. The white-haired woman sits facing the door, with one of the bags in front of her.

"Thank you, professor." Felicia nods, before entering her room. Happy to see that her new clothes were there. "Hey wai... ah... never mind." The red-head is surprised that Carley suddenly started rummaging through it, but as she saw her nun costume was just as badly damaged as Felicia's own dress. "Right, we should clan up, before... you know." The red-head mumbles, pointing to the spare bedroom, which should have a bathroom of its own.

Angelica shakes her head, her eyes drying as she sits on the floor. "No, she is not evil. As all things begin, they must also end. She is life in totality, including the afterlife." She holds Izanami in her hands, looking at the card hopefully. "Thank you. For giving me a chance." Her eyes dart to Julia. "You as well. Thank you." She collects the Shinobirds, bowing her head to them respectfully.

"Right, we should clan up, before... you know." The red-head mumbles, pointing to the spare bedroom, which should have a bathroom of its own.

"Yes, I prefer to wear clothes." She rolls her eyes at Felicia. "You want to shower together, then? I didn't get the chance to bring my own soaps..." Carley smiles mischievously. "Plus I really want to see if you actually have a cock hiding under there."

"Right." Felicia replied, until Carley mentioned showering together, "W-wha... nnnh." She barely manages to hold herself back from stuttering, Keep it together! You have to do this... otherwise... She takes a deep breath, "I don't have anything hidden under there. Uru... my spirit will just give me one temporarily." She explains, cheeks flushing red, "Besides, there's another bathroom in that empty room, it should be stocked with soap, and shampoos." Felicia points at the empty room, "Aargh, just get ready, and meet me in my room after you've finished cleaning up." The red-head gives an order as she rushes to her own bed room within the large, and luxurious dorm room. She failed to notice which bag of clothes Carley was holding onto, failing to recall that Yumi had forcefully bought some "intimates" for the prudish Felicia.

Once she was alone, Felicia strips off her already ruined dress, wincing at her bruises, and burns. "Aah, hopefully these heal before classes start." She groans, jumping into the shower to clean up. Calm down, you've had basic SexEd in high-school. Besides, I just need to... ejaculate inside her to make her a broodmother. That should be... simple enough. She thinks to herself, her heart pounding in her chest as she slowly finishes up her shower. Felicia wipes herself dry, then wraps the towel around her curvy body before leaving the bathroom. Wondering if Carley was already done with her preparations.

Julia did her best to keep her face neutral, but hearing Angelica’s insight into the goddess, it forced a small smile. A smile with no sarcasm behind it.

“The rest will follow once they see proof.” Julia eyed the Shinobird card as if having some kind of conversation with it.

If I’ll be the Yokai’s enemy to get rid of their evil, so be it.

Julia thought it more less to herself, but didn’t really try to communicate with Valkyrus, but he had been with her long enough to know once she made up her mind, you’d have an easier time trying to teach a cat, mechanical engineering, than getting her to change it.

“I didn’t really do much. The decision was all yours.” Julia somewhat brushed off the involvement a bit coldly, but she didn’t really consider her role in it anything special.

“This isn’t going to make you above becoming corrupted again. But…there’s hope.”

Dinah, getting permission from Felicia first, disables the teleportation spell which bars the main entrance, allowing the group of twelve to leave. They trek back to the Duel Academy, seeing that the sun is beginning to set by the time they arrive back on the campus.

Charlie, rather than joining them to the campus, goes the other direction from the mansion's gates, saying something about his family being worried. Dahlia and Demeter walk in the back of the pack, working out whatever may have gone on between them. Once they set foot on the school's grounds, Dahlia tells her rescuers. "I think my sis was brainwashed, and the same thing was going to happen to me. Thank you." She hugs Julia, then Adam, before walking in the direction of her home with Demeter in tow.

The remaining nine approach the outside of the Obelisk Blue dorms, just as the first droplets of a rain shower splatter the ground.

"Any time." Adam smiles at the girl and returns the hug, before yawning and looking to Destiny. "How are you feeling after your injury? Do you have somewhere to stay now that the cult's disbanded?"

Wondering if Carley was already done with her preparations.

"Uru. Odd name." She shrugs. "Fitting for a powerful goddess, though. Much better than something like Chastity, right dear?" Carley resigns herself to using the bathroom Felicia commands her to. "They provide all that? Are you sure you didn't just drag me to one of those love hotels I've seen around the city?" She stands and walks to the empty bedroom, taking the bag with her.

As Felicia exits the bathroom, she sees Carley isn't waiting on the bed, so the nervous girl still has some more time to gather herself.

Hearing Carley's concern about how well stocked, and luxurious her apparent student dorm looked. Felicia couldn't reply as she also didn't understand why they had such high-class living quarters, and amenities. Though as the former cult leader mentions Uru being a powerful goddes, Felicia wondered if the giant spider monster was male, or female. I think they mentioned in a biology class that the larger arachnids are females... right? She wondered to herself.

Leaving the bathroom, and seeing no one there. Felicia lets out a relieved sigh. "Okay... okay... calm down... I just have to do the deed..." She said to herself, taking a few deep breaths in the process. Okay Uru... can you, uh, do it now? I want to at least get some time to get used to the extra... appendage. Also, how long will the magic last? She thinks to herself, wondering how Tyrant would react to all of this.

The only problem, quite a minor one, is that you dragged what's left of us into this without warning! If you had given us time to prepare, I would have encouraged tearing the spirit away. Valkyrus growls in frustration.

"I owe you my life. You and the others. I shall repay this debt." Angelica stands, bowing reverently to Julia. "Do you have a spare bedroom? It's probably best if I sleep here tonight, and I am very tired."

 

[AnonYMooseBoG]

"Any time." Adam smiles at the girl and returns the hug, before yawning and looking to Destiny. "How are you feeling after your injury? Do you have somewhere to stay now that the cult's disbanded?"

"I'm alright. Still hurts a bit, and I probably need a real doctor eventually, but I can manage." She shakes her head. "No. I've been living at the compound for a while now."

"That sounds like something we should deal with sooner than later." Adam sighs. "As for residence, I have a spare room in my dorm."

Julia could still hear Valkyrus chew her out. He obviously was not happy, and she made a face though she doubted he couldn't see it.

I'm sorry. I didn't know what my options were. We'll figure something out. If there's anything I can do in the mortal realm that might have an effect there in your favor, just let me know, and I'll work on it. Though....does this mean Inazami would help? We're not exactly friends yet, but I can't imagine she really likes spirits running around just doing whatever they want out of order. I don't know about the shino here of what they would want to do, but if they're anything like how the story goes, they hate beings who deceive the most. I don't know if that's enough for them to care yet...but Inazami cannot possibly be indifferent to this or she wouldn't have revealed herself. I'm sure of it.

Izanami was technically a low stat card mechanically in text perhaps...but that didn't necessarily represent a monster's true power. She was under the assumption effects must be somewhat representative of their abilities, but it couldn't possibly account for all the power a spirit commands in the spirit realm.

Julia's musings were mostly cut of by Angelica's question. "Oh, no. I couldn't get the principal to budge with making renovations." As the conversation came back to bit more of a normal tone, Julia looked around. "Well, why don't you take my bed? It's not a big deal. I'll sleep on the..." She glanced to her floor, now noticing the chaotic mess of paper, clothes, and....other things. It actually made her look a little embarrassed. "Well, I can just sleep on the couch in the living area. Nobody will mind. Done it before."

Uru 79=79 success
Tyrant 12+10=22 fail

Very well...It will last...for one of your...hours...

Using the image of a typical man's genitalia from a sex ed class which floats in Felicia mind, Uru begins to work. The girl feels a strange tingling at her groin, centered above her clitoris. After a minute or two of this ticklish sensation, the virgin feels a new part of herself poking into the towel wrapped around her. It throbs once, already hard.

One hour... okay. Felicia thinks to herself, a little upset Tyrant isn't saying anything. Was Carley right? Did it feel betrayed that she has a new spirit already? But before the red-head could ponder further, "Nnh? A-aah, what is, o-ohh." She gasped from the sudden sensation, before realizing Uru was working its magic already. "Haah." Feeling the hardness between her legs, Felicia shuddered, "This is... a man's..." She blushes, undoing the towel around her to get a better look. "A-a man's... n-no it's my... penis." She mumbled, feeling it throb, Felicia gulps. Her right hand moving to touch the erect meatpole, her own hard cock. I-I can't believe the first time I'm touching one is... connected to my own body. She thinks to herself, tightening her grip to see how it'll feel.

"That sounds like something we should deal with sooner than later." Adam sighs. "As for residence, I have a spare room in my dorm."

"Sure, but how do you want to explain this?" Destiny points at the patchwork scar which Julia's healing left her. "As you wish." The two of them are not interrupted on their way to Adam's flat. "I'll probably need new clothes and stuff. I don't want to be a burden, but I won't be able to do much outside safely without them."

[I think that's where you want them to go?]

You are not to blame for ignorance. I know this. Valkyrus sighs. Perhaps I need to retire and concentrate on you. Shurit would be a fine leader until I can return...No matter, I must resolve this crisis before thinking of the future. He clears his throat. I do not expect Izanami and her kin to aid us. She has far greater concerns than a conflict between long rivals. The Shinobarons normally keep to themselves. I cannot predict their potential involvement or lack thereof. You already know that your very existence empowers us. The most effective action you can take to favor us is to ensure you are content. If you desire a more direct feeling means of assistance, I will relay word to you, but not until after you rest. I have rituals to ready. Farewell.

Angelica frowns. "I cannot ask you to vacate your bed for my sake. I will sleep on the couch." She insists.

It seems bigger than the size her textbooks said is average, but it looks otherwise normal. As Felicia wraps her hand around the new part, she feels warmth radiating from it. It throbs again in her grasp. It feels nice. A dull pleasantness similar to the nurse's finger when it first entered her, but not the same. Her grip tightening around the shaft, the distant ecstasy becomes slightly more intense, eliciting a sharp intake of breath from the student. The penis itself feels surprisingly soft and flexible, yet still rigid, as she squeezes.

The girl can hear the shower stop running in the neighboring room. Carley must be finishing up.

Julia feeling the weight of the day starting to take it's toll, had to agree. She was pretty strained on energy as is. She wouldn't be able to get much done without being properly ready first. It wasn't too surprising to hear that most of the other tribes would remain largely indifferent, but on the benefit of that, it likely meant nobody was going to be supporting the yokai either. Valkyrus didn't seem to view them as a genuine threat either. At least not in any kind of league that could be compared to the Fabled. They seemed to be considered mostly a nuisance, but definitely one that needed to be gotten rid off before they could do any serious damage. And given that if she understood how this works, the Makayshi were most likely still needing to recover their power after that stint in the shadow realm, there would be some time for her to recover.

Julia could hear Angelica make attempts to be polite and use modesty, but she already turned around to leave, taking her book she had taken for healing magic to read up on more before she sleeps. "I can just go over to the girl's dorm for a bit and share a room with Kelsey. She won't mind. I have a lot of work I need to get done anyway, so I'll still be up for a little while. Let me know if you need anything." Julia began to exit, getting back more into her usual mood.

"This been the hell of a day and school hasn't even started yet."

"You are too kind to me." Angelica shuts the door behind Julia, presumably getting ready for bed.

Thinking of school as she crosses the short distance to the Ra Yellow women's dorm, Julia recalls that she will have a full slate of classes beginning in the morning. Most of them are typical gen. ed. courses such as World History, but there are some entertaining ones like Sensuality and Civilization and some personally interesting ones like Survey of Mythology mixed in as well, not to mention the more specific history classes focused on certain countries, peoples, or conflicts. She arrives at Dr. Kelsey's door, practically the same as her own, within a couple minutes.
