Farwill's Office
This is Farwill's office. There are many shelves of books, plus a worn out couch in the corner with a blanket and a pillow on it. There is hazelnut coffee instant powder, and two mugs. There is also a frozen beef casserole pack on top of a strange machine, white in the shape of a box, with a handle and buttons on the side of it. It appears to be what the Muggles call a 'microwave'.

Bryn knocked on the door. "Professor Farwill? Are you there?"
ReplyDeleteThere was a silence. Bryn looked at Shiina. "Should we go in?"
Shiina thought for a moment. "I'm not sure. She might get mad at us, but it might be worth it."
ReplyDeleteBryn nodded, then whispered "Alohomora" on the door. "It's charmed so you can't get in," she muttered to Shiina. "Let me try this." Bryn thought up a name for a new spell, then said to the knob, "Nonseria," and it unlocked.
ReplyDeleteShiina opened the door and stepped in.
ReplyDeleteFarwill was lying on the couch, as stiff as a board, her eyes wide and frantic. They were glowing a strange purple as she lay there. Bryn's mouth fell open. "What's happening to her?"
ReplyDelete(Shiina, she's having a vision. u should no.)
Shiina walked towards Farwill, a faint outline surrounding her. Her eyes had also turned pitch black, as if someone had turned the lights out in them. She reached out, and some of the black coiled off her fingertips and surrounded Farwill like a mist. She woke up, and the black mist immediately dissolved.
ReplyDelete(faint, black outline)
ReplyDelete(o ok)
ReplyDeleteFarwill jerked awake, and her vision dissolved. It was another seer. She sensed it. She was awake, and her eyes had returned to their original indigo. She sat up, and faced the two. "Hello."
Bryn stalked forward to Farwill. "You're a seer."
Farwill paused. Should she do as she had in her vision two nights ago? Yes, she thought. She would. "Apparently."
Bryn narrowed her eyes. "You knew this was about to happen."
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"It wasn't the right time."
Shiina said nothing, but just stared at Farwill, watching her every movement.
ReplyDeleteFarwill looked at Shiina. "Natsumoto. You with-hold the Inner Eye, and suffer from it. You cough blood, and you take a potion for it." She then turned to Bryn. "Reedwing. You have the gift of inventing spells with ease. Your spells are also more powerful than other's." She looked at both of them, and stood up. Bryn suddenly noticed how tall their teacher really was. "Your fates are dangerous, and you lead a hard path. But remember my words:
ReplyDeleteAn ancient pact,
A deadly act.
The fall of the city
Is by revenge and not pity.
For blood will be spilled,
If blood is not killed."
Farwill finished, and suddenly a wave of fatigue overtook her. She sat back down, her eyes faintly purple.
Shiina waved Farwill's purple aura away and was silent, not showing any reaction to the prophecy at all.
ReplyDeleteFarwill shook the purple away. "Thanks," she muttered to Shiina. She looked at them again. "I will help you, even if you don't think you need it. I know my fate, and I will follow it. Even if I may not like it," she added, her eyes darkening.
ReplyDeleteShiina narrowed her eyes. "Do not think we will be too grateful for your help," she said coldly.
ReplyDeleteFarwill looked at her fellow seer, her gaze cool. "You of all people should know that one cannot change what has been seen."
ReplyDeleteShiina looked away, a thousand other comments ringing in her head, but she said nothing.
ReplyDeleteFarwill looked at both of them. "I can sense unanswered questions," she said, voicing almost exactly what Shiina had said four days ago at Newt Cafe. "What are they?"
ReplyDeleteShiina did not ask, as she did not find her questions significant.
ReplyDeleteBryn looked at Farwill. "What does the line in the symbol mean?"
ReplyDeleteFarwill turned her gaze at Bryn. "I can only say that it represents you." Bryn looked mystified. Farwill looked at Shiina. "Though you may think your questions unworthy, ask them. Curiosity is intelligence."
Shiina narrowed her eyes. "The Mist surrounding the prophecy is thick. But I can tell that Professor Yamamoto does play a part in this. Is there some way that we could do this without dragging normal people into it as well?"
ReplyDeleteFarwill sighed, and shook her head. "The whole of Lyreade is affected by this prophecy, Shiina," she said, calling her by her first name for the first time. "It is not possible."
ReplyDeleteShiina clenched her fists and silently swore. Keeping the public safe was a promise she had made a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteBryn sent a telepathic "it's okay" to Shiina. She hoped that by some reason, she would receive it. Farwill looked at both of them. "There is thirty minutes left until dinner. I suggest you go to the library again, or somewhere else to study the books you borrowed yesterday night."
ReplyDeleteShiina immediately stepped out of the office, taking a breath of fresh air.
ReplyDeleteBryn nodded curtly at her teacher, then stepped outside as well. There was a silence. Then:
ReplyDelete"Wow, it stank of beef casseroles in there," Bryn said.
Shiina just stood there, cursing herself and the whole dammed prophecy.
ReplyDeleteBryn sighed, knowing Shiina was having one of her "I hate myself" moments. She grabbed her wrist and dragged her off to the library. "Come on, we need to find more information if we want to work out this prophecy."
ReplyDeleteShiina was silent as Bryn dragged her along.
ReplyDelete(lets go to the lib.)
ReplyDeleteSelena Farwill was slaving over a stack of paperwork, gulping down her seventh cup of hazelnut coffee. "God, I wish something would distract me from his labor," she muttered, her forehead in her palms.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto stumbled into the room, muttering something about seizures. He looked up. "Huh?"
ReplyDeleteFarwill jumped in surprise, spilling the coffee in her hand. Okay...
ReplyDelete"Kazuki! What are you doing in my office?" She demanded, trying to glare at him while cleaning the spill at the same time.
Yamamoto looked around strangely. "Uh....." he said. "This....this isn't my office?"
ReplyDeleteFarwill, having cleaned up the mess, glared at Yamamoto. "No, it isn't," she snapped. "Your office is on the other side of the floor."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto rubbed his eyes for a moment. "Quite right, professor," he said, and started for the door.
ReplyDeleteFarwill stopped him. "Wait, stay and distract me for a second, professor," she pleaded of him. "I'm incredible weighed down with this paperwork."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto smiled, slightly fond of the professor. "As you say it, general," he said playfully.
ReplyDeleteFarwill grinned. "Sit down, then," she gestured to the couch, and arranged it nicely for a second before sitting down next to him. "Would you like anything to drink?"
ReplyDeleteYamamoto shook his head slowly. "It's ok, professor." He looked up at her. "So, what kind of paperwork are you working on?"
ReplyDeleteFarwill sighed. "Homework, forms, admission sheets, questionares..." She frowned and shook her head. "Do you have that much work, professor?"
ReplyDeleteYamamoto thought for a moment. "It depends...if I have a lot, then I do it in one sitting, but if I don't have a lot then I do it during class." He looked up at her. "I currently don't have any."
ReplyDelete(lolololol efficient worker!)
Farwill nodded. "Good for you," she smiled. "I also try to do it all at once if I have a lot, but sometimes I get into these--" She suddenly cut herself off, realizing she'd said too much. "Uh, sometimes I get into these really weird urges to do other things, like eating and sleeping," she finished lamely.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto nodded silently.
ReplyDeleteFarwill stared awkwardly down at her robes, hoping he wouldn't ask her about her cut off sentence.
ReplyDelete(ASK HER! ASK HER! Lol, only if u want to XD)
Yamamoto looked at Farwill. "Erm....were you going to say something before that, professor?"
ReplyDelete(I ASKED! :))
Farwill, startled, looked up at him. "I... uh..." She stammered.
ReplyDelete(YAY! lol XD)
Yamamoto looked away so that she wouldn't feel intimidated.
ReplyDeleteFarwill narrowed her eyes. "Why should I tell you?" She demanded of him, deciding to take the offensive.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto looked downwards, not sure if he should say something or shut up. "I......"
ReplyDeleteFarwill sighed. "Do you really want to know?"
ReplyDeleteYamamoto looked at her straight in the eye. "What you want to say, I will listen," he said simply.
ReplyDeleteFarwill gave him an exasperated stare. "Dude, you're not helping."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto suddenly looked away uncomfortably.
ReplyDeleteFarwill put her hands on his shoulders and turned him around to face her. She looked him in the eyes. She knew she would have to tell him, she'd seen it, but she wasn't sure when was the right time. "Can I trust you?" Those were the words she had said in her vision. If he said the right words back, she would tell him.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto looked at her seriously. "I trust you. Let that speak to you."
ReplyDeleteFarwill stared. Yep, those were the words he had spoken in the vision. She took a deep breath, then began. She told him everything- from her being a seer, to Shiina and Bryn, the prophecy, her visions, her trouble sleeping... everything she's ever known, she told Kazuki Yamamoto. When she finished, she quickly conjured a glass of water and gulped it down. "That's... what I didn't want to tell you before. But I saw myself telling you, so I tested you to see if it was the right time to tell you. I suppose it was," Farwill shrugged.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto closed his eyes. "And you're sure it's going to happen?"
ReplyDelete"It's going to happen. It's going to happen. And... when the time comes for me... I'll go." Farwill looked down, trying not to feel scared.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto narrowed his eyes and stepped forward. He patted her head for a while. "It'll be ok," he said. "For now."
ReplyDeleteFarwill looked small. "Can you make sure that the others remember me?" She asked of Yamamoto, hating herself for being so... weak and helpless.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto narrowed his eyes further. He crouched down next to her. "No one will forget you," he said. He had a strange expression on his face.
ReplyDelete(lol. ima make him kiss her dead body later on........)
(omg lol)
ReplyDeleteFarwill smiled softly. "Thank you, Kazuki," she said quietly, leaning into his shoulder.
Yamamoto sat back down on the floor.
ReplyDeleteFarwill stayed that way for a while, then suddenly a vision enveloped her. She was suddenly stock-still, stiff on his shoulder, and a blue light emanated from her eyes.
ReplyDelete(don't stop her)
Yamamoto looked down at her in surprise. "Erm....Selena?"
ReplyDeleteAfter about 20 minutes, Farwill collapsed on to the floor, sliding off his shoulder. "Student..... can't... make it....." she whimpered, curling into a ball on the floor.
ReplyDelete(she just saw gwen die)
Yamamoto was shaking her now. "Wake up! Wake up!" he felt useless.
ReplyDeleteAfter about 5 minutes, Farwill's eyes fluttered open. She was completely still. She stared up at Yamamoto. "Kazuki? Why are you in my office? Oh, right..." she trailed off, remembering.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto stared at her, eyes narrowing in want. He was so different from her, yet.....
ReplyDeleteFarwill sat up, her robes slightly loose and messed up. Her hair had fallen out of her ponytail, and her indigo eyes were tired and wary. "That... was worse than me... getting killed."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto was silent, not wanting to probe into her thoughts.
ReplyDeleteFarwill sighed again and leaned into him again, her head on his shoulder. A part of hair was splayed over his chest and neck. The rest of it was covering her own chest, neck, and shoulders.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto was tickled by her hair. Not knowing what to say, he pulled her closer to him.
ReplyDeleteFarwill smiled slightly, liking the warmth of his body.
ReplyDelete(Woah. WOAH.)
Yamamoto looked down at the smaller being. He wanted to pull her even closer, so close, but he just didn't have the courage.
ReplyDelete(oOOOOOOOOOOOO)
(Farwill is a small being. LOL XD)
ReplyDeleteFarwill curled up on Yamamoto's lap, leaning against his chest. "Hey, can we stay like this for a while?" She whispered into his shirt.
(O.M.G. AHHHHHHHHH)
Yamamoto had a broaaaaaaaaad chest. (XD) Yamamoto began to stroke her hair. "If you wish it," he said.
ReplyDeleteFarwill grinned into his chest. "Thanks," she said softly.
ReplyDelete(lol shud mapps walk in?)
(uhhhhh)
ReplyDelete(that'd be funny)
ReplyDeleteFarwill relaxed in the smell and warmth of her fellow professor.
Yamamoto wanted her to be closer. He rested his chin on her head and slowly slid his head downwards.....
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto slid his head down further. His lips were about a millimeter away from Farwill's......
ReplyDeleteFarwill suddenly realized what they were about to do, and closed her eyes, stretching out with her neck (OSTRICH!!!), and felt his lips meet hers.
ReplyDelete(O.O shes that short??? XD)
ReplyDeleteYamamoto felt lightheaded as they met like this for the first time, but he felt good, as if he had finally let out all of his feelings. He gripped her shoulders tightly. (ow.)
(no, she was just curled up so she was small compared to his sitting up)
ReplyDeleteFarwill put her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her.
(o)
ReplyDeleteYamamoto poked his tongue forwards, yearning to place it in her mouth.
(;))
(lol XD)
ReplyDeleteFarwill was a little surprised, but let him and twirled her own tongue around his, her... chest pressing up on his.
(damn this shud be in xylophone XD)
(:D)
ReplyDeleteYamamoto has an exhilarating feeling and bent over more, holding her even tighter.
(I'll not go any farther... we can do it there ;D)
ReplyDeleteFarwill put her legs around his waist and pulled him closer to her when......
a certain Professor Mapps walked in. "Selena, the headmistress wanted--" he stopped short when he saw the scene. "Um..."
Professor Yamamoto calmly broke away from Farwill and stood up and faced the other man. "Good afternoon, professor," he said politely. "You see, my friend from Japan is obsessed with anime. He even draws manga himself. He was having difficulty with this one love scene, you see, so he asked me for help." Yamamoto started to spew pointless facts in Japanese.
ReplyDeleteProfessor Mapps stared at Yamamoto strangely and skeptically before Farwill pushed Yamamoto aside and stared straight into Mapps' eyes. "I will contact you later, professor. For now, Yamamoto is helping me with designing a project I am giving my students." She pushed him out the door, but not before Mapps caught Yamamoto's eye and winked, as if to say, "Congrats, dude, you finally got her".
ReplyDeleteYamamoto rolled his eyes. "Shut up," they seemed to say.
ReplyDeleteMapps was finally kicked out the door, and Farwill turned back around and faced Yamamoto. She smirked, walking slowly towards him like a lioness stalking her helpless prey.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto watched her steps. What was up?
ReplyDeleteFarwill suddenly pushed him into the wall and began kissing him passionately.
ReplyDelete(lol random kissing XD)
Yamamoto widened his eyes and tried to pull away.
ReplyDeleteFarwill pulled away herself and breathed heavily, having not breathed for a full five minutes. She saw Yamamoto staring at her in shock.
ReplyDelete(lol fish farwill)
(XD)
ReplyDeleteYamamoto was startled. He looked at Farwill. "Selena...?"
(ha)
ReplyDeleteFarwill looked up at him. She suddenly flushed a deep red. "Um... I... uh... I'm really sorry, I didn't know what I was doing..." she trailed off, embarrassed.
Yamamoto smiled and patted her again. "You're cute when you're short of words."
ReplyDeleteFarwill blushed a deeper red. "Thanks... I guess..." she smiled a little.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto turned towards the door. "I should get going now...I need to write the script for my 'scene'." He smiled one more time and opened the door. "And you should finish up your paperwork as well."
ReplyDeleteFarwill smiled. "Yeah. I'll come by sooner or later." She paused, smirking. "And... thanks for the distraction, professor," she said playfully.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto winced slightly and was gone.
ReplyDeleteFarwill smiled at his discomfort again, then went back to her desk and began working on her paperwork once more.
ReplyDeleteFarwill ran into her office and slammed the door shut, going over to the couch and putting her face into the pillow, attempting to stop the flow of tears running from her eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe door opened and Shiina stepped into the office. "Professor, I had a question about the.........."
ReplyDeleteFarwill froze, then decided she was too miserable to care. Besides, she knew Shiina could keep a secret. She didn't get up from where she was.
ReplyDeleteShiina stood there. "......."
ReplyDeleteFarwill mumbled into her pillow. "What? If you have a question, ask me. If you don't leave."
ReplyDeleteShiina didn't know what to say. "......"
ReplyDeleteFarwill, at this, shot up and glared at Shiina fiercely in a way she had never done before with bloodshot indigo eyes. "Are you leaving or talking?" She snapped.
ReplyDeleteShiina's red eyes glared. "What are you doing?" she demanded.
ReplyDeleteFarwill glared back at her. "What are YOU doing? You're the one in my office."
ReplyDeleteShiina narrowed her eyes. "Well, sorry for wanting to ask an educative quesiton," she muttered. She turned to leave.
ReplyDeleteFarwill snapped, "I told you to ask me, and you didn't."
ReplyDeleteShiina turned around, her eyebrows so deep that they made her eyes appear slightly black. "Yeah, sure," she said. She no longer wanted to see this seer again. "Don't think you can order me around," she said, her voice suddenly very cold. She left.
ReplyDeleteFarwill rolled her eyes, and wondered what the original question was. She had seen this scene before, but she hadn't known what the question was. The pain of seeing Yamamoto's face hit her again, and she struggled to hold back her tears.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto stumbled into the office, looking around. "You wanted to see me, professor?"
ReplyDeleteFarwil looked up from her desk in surprise. "I did?"
ReplyDeleteYamamoto looked at her. "Kumataka said you did......"
ReplyDeleteFarwill frowned. "I bet he just wanted you to visit me. Well, come in anyway, make yourself comfortable. I need a break anyway. What do you want? Tea? Coffee? Juice? Snacks?" She got up and began to look for food in her cabinet.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto shrugged. "Anything you like," he said. Beef casseroles, he answered for her in his thoughts.
ReplyDelete"Then beef casseroles," Farwill said promptly, and warmed up a frozen pack. She took out some mint tea and brewed it, then gave Yamamoto a cup and a plate of casserole. "So how have you been?" She asked him, sitting close beside him with her own casserole and tea.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto shrugged. "OK, I guess," he said. "But I'm glad those two boys are back. They took quite some time."
ReplyDeleteFarwill nodded. "Yes. Good thing they got Taki. He's powerful, that one. Knapp made a good choice to put him in Eagletalon."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto nodded. "He'll need some work in some other subjects, but I can see that he has a lot of promise."
ReplyDelete"Yup." Farwill suddenly grinned evilly at Yamamoto. "We should sneak out and hang out during our break time. I haven't done that since my 6th year," she told him, smiling mischievously.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto sighed. "You were always a troublemaker back then," he remarked, thinking back to when he was a student as well.
ReplyDeleteFarwill grinned widely. "Yeah. You remember when I pranked Professor Crumple?" She laughed. "You should have seen her face, that old hag. Nobody liked her."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto smiled slightly. "And when Smith poured frog eggs onto her chair and made them appear down her robes?"
ReplyDeleteFarwill laughed. "That was so funny! I put a temporary tickling charm on Mrakle. He laughed and spasmed every five minutes."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto grinned. "Good times," he said. "But at least the students haven't been pulling pranks on us. Yet."
ReplyDeleteFarwill raised an eyebrow. "What about Kumataka? He pulled one on me two years ago. And one on Mapps the year before that." She made a face. "I'm glad he shaped up."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto shrugged. "I've been fine," he remarked. "But I guess not all students are perfect."
ReplyDelete"Yeah. I guess they end up fine in the end anyway," Farwill nodded. She paused, then her eyes brightened. "Hey, would you like to join me for lunch at Goat's Corner? My treat."
ReplyDeleteYamamoto raised his eyebrows. Weren't you preparing a casserole? he thought in his mind, but said, "Sure!"
ReplyDelete"Okay! I'll meet you tomorrow at your office, okay? I'll be there at... 12:30." Farwill smiled at him, and stood up, looking at the clock in her office. "Well, time for class. Nice spending time with you though." She leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek before gathering up two binders full of papers and swept out of the room.
ReplyDeleteYamamoto smiled after his fellow professor, then got up and quickly headed for his office to get some books, then left for his room.
