"... And if I must say..." She said in an even smaller whisper, "I'm tired of being here..." She looked up to Adia. "More people feel the same way... if you are willing there is an abandoned room in the third tower on the fifth floor. Meet there at three 'o clock in the morning, when the guardians are asleep. Be careful of all the cameras and keep out of sight." she said in an almost non-existant whisper. "... Good luck on your exams if you don't." She said standing up and walking off.

'You have become quite a leader, Echo...' A small deep voice swam around in her head.
'If I plan to escape, others deserve that opportunity as well. I cannot deny them that... only they can.' She replied with a mental whisper.

Louis stood facing the other students, observing them. His posture completely flawless. "It is probably the exams that are coming up. I know my student has been putting in extra hours studying. They are probably a little tired." He turned to face Warden, "... Are you worried about your student?"

"She seems down." Warden said.

'Hmm..more people feel the same way...I might go to this'Adia thought while a small smirk appeared but quickly vanished. 'You're going aren't you? What if you get caught?' 'Oh trust me Uzraudze, I won't get caught'

((I am signing off. Please put the Roleplay on hold until I come back.

It should only be an hour or two.))

Louis faced the front again, towards the students. "You know... if I didn't know better, I would say you had feelings for your student, Warden." He said calmly. "... It isn't wise to have feelings. All it takes is one failure of the exams and then they are gone, forever. We guide them... we tutor them, we don't care for them. It just creates a weakness on our part. So if she seems down, it is her problem... not yours. Understand?"

Eliza flinched slightly. So much for any kindness from her guardian. She frowned for a moment before standing brusquely "Louis, I'm rather tired. I'll be going to bed now unless..." she trailed off, leaving him to fill in the gap with any assignments, orders or other requests. She refused to look him in the eyes, instead staring at the scars on his chest. She didn't want to admit it, she should be used to it, but that (Expletive deleted) hurt!

Louis turned to face her. "Very well, go and rest. We will train you tomorrow. You can finish your essay tomorrow after extensive training." He was calm, his eyes emotionless.

"My essay is already done Louis." She stated and turned to leave the room. She would set an alarm and be at the storage room at three. That is all there was to it.

Adia gets up and walks up to Warden,"I'm on my way to bed so, see you tomorrow.."She says then walks out of the room. 'I'd say it's a perfect night for stargazing tonight.'Adia thinks to herself as she nears her dorm.

Echo paced her dorm room, her guardian hadn't shown up at all this entire day. It made her a bit anxious... maybe they were onto her and her plan? Impossible, she took all the pre-cautions she could. She put her thumb up to her mouth nibbling on her nail.

'You are going to kill yourself, from worry.' the deep voice that was there before swam around in her head.
"Nonsense... you can't die from stress...." She said quietly.
'You might prove that wrong.'
"Shut up, Solace." she growled.

As soon as Adia got to her dorm she plopped on her bed. 'I better set my clock for 3 A.M...'She thinks as she picks up her clock and sets the alarm for 3 A.M. 'So you are going? 'Yes I am, I want to be able to show emotion, and I also want to be able to escape from here' Adia said to Uzraudze. 'I thought so....and there is no way I can talk you out of it is there?' 'Nope my mind is set!' I was afraid you'd say that...' 'heh' Adia looks out her window and sees a dark sky with millions of star sprinkled across the sky. "how pretty..."Adia says as she walks up to the window.

((We have, unfortunately, come to a bump in the road. We need more Guardians before we can go any further in the roleplay. Seeing as you cannot play your own Guardian, if you know other Roleplayers or would like to play a Guardian as well as a student, PM me letting me know.))

((Okay, lol, gone for one day and everyone gets post happy whats going on owo'))

((Lol. I don't know. I am waiting for some more profiles for Guardians to come in before we carry on the RP. Also there is one more spot open for a student, and several are open for the Breaths.))

(( OOC: Alright, let's get this Roleplay up and moving again.))

Louis stalked down the hallways, reading glasses perched on the bridge of his nose with several books under his arms. All of them were filled with educational material and nothing else. He turned the corner and spotted a student outside a classroom door. The child seemed to be muttering to himself, though there was no one beside him or around him. Louis cleared his throat, and the child jumped several feet in the air before whipping around and stuttering out a sentence.

"S-s-si...sir... I-I-I... I didn't see, I didn't know... I am terribly sorry... I didn't know if this was m-my room or... or not." It was obvious this was one of the new recruits.

"Just be off to bed..." Louis said as he walked past the fifteen year old and continued down to the training field. His nightly exercises kept his skills sharp and allowed his Caene roam for a while.

Dolo loaded one of the alloy rods, flanged at the base and coming to a sharp point on the tip, into the Xcoil. It appeared to be a short shotgun, with a large empty part of the barrel exposed, thick, springlike coils of metal visible. The man brought the weapon up to his shoulder, looking through the small scope at a target down-range. The practice field was large, and the firing range was good for target practice with nearly any weapon. A soft electrical hiss and a puff of ionized air ejected from the barrel of the Xcoil as Dolo pulled the trigger, followed a half-second later by a sharp *thwack* from the target, several hundred feet away. Dolo repeated the shot several more times before reverting to forms with his shortsword, only stopping when he heard footsteps from the entryway.
"Hello Louis. The mission was a success. The student will be a danger to us no more."

Eliza waited, forehead resting against the door to her room. Luckily there were no patrols, but some guardians still roamed the halls, late as it was. Hers among them. She knew, because he had once mentioned his late training to her, and that he was not alone in this. She heard several sets of footsteps pass by her door and still waited. It was already two thirty in the morning. She had slept some, and dressed according to the requirements of what she was about to do. Black, concealing, loose but easily torn to obscure her human figure and turn it into something... unreal to be dismissed as merely another shadow on the wall. It helped that she was being molded into an assassin. Jobs like this would someday be her lot in life, if she survived. Another set of footsteps passed, and she slipped out into the hallway behind them. Clinging to the shadows she matched her rhythms to that of the guardian she followed, disguising her footsteps with the sound of his, her breathing, she could have sworn her heatbeat and his were pounding in the same rhythm she followed him so exactly. After several heart pounding minutes, she reached her destination and quietly stepped inside, Lree beating her wings against the inside of her breastbone.

Jane was at the practice field, running alongside her Caene. She never won, but she loved to try. She knew that her Caene was a part of her, but she felt more like a part of her Caene, her shadow, her silent companion. But she was pulled from her reverie at the sound of someone approaching the training field. She looked up with mild interest, who would it be that would join her, and her erstwhile companion, Dolo, tonight? She stopped her running and moved over to where Dolo was firing, spotting Louis. Now knowing, she decided to join their conversation. "Bonny, wasn't it?"

"Hello Jane. I was just debriefing Louis, and yes, I believe her name was Bonny. She is no longer threatens a leak of information to outsiders." Dolo sheathed the one-edged shortsword, the simple brass hilt reflecting none of the light due to it's matte-bronze lacquer, and turned back to Louis.

((OOC: Fixed!))

Jane moved up to stand near Dolo, Shraa practically wrapping herself about her legs. "Yes, I was not expecting her to make it out of the academy, either as a breath or in the rather unusual way she chose. It's good to hear she has been dealt with." She acknowledged Louis with a look, then waited to see if either of them had news interesting enough to keep her from returning to her running.

"Ah, and louis, I also discovered this on her person. It is a document describing some experiments she performed cooperatively with her Caene. It was only a student, but something must be done if they feel free enough to begin that kind of advanced training unsupervised, and especially with those specimens least fit to learn that level of control. It may have helped lead to her escape, which is problematic, if not directly threatening."

Louis took the piece of parchment and looked over it. "I see." he muttered and then turned back to Jane and Dolo. "Another thing that troubles me is I think some of the Guardians here are growing far too soft. Which may be one of the reasons behind these... renegade students." He said handing back the piece of parchment. "I witnessed one guardian actually giving words of encouragement to his student, along with asking me whether I thought she looked... 'down'. I have noticed something else as well; Though... I haven't seen much of her guardian at all. A young female named Echo Chambers has been rather... friendly with majority of the students. She goes from table to table and claims she is doing extensive research on battle tactics, learning from others while teaching them as well. She is a fine student, not the best... but certainly not the worst either. She advances quickly, and there is no doubt that she will make a fine Breath in the future. I have thought about confronting her Guardian about this, but seeing as I am the only witness... accusing her of such things that would end in her termination without actual proof, is frowned upon."

Jane gave a slight nod "I have noticed this trend in our fellows as well, though the specifics are new to me. Is it possible that they have forgotten what it is to fight? The reason we are what we are? Perhaps more of us should be sent into the field. As for Echo, I noticed her speaking to Charlotte today, but it was at dinner. I will keep my eyes open for any further interaction between them, and provide an extra set of eyes to watch her as well. If she is up to something, we will find out, and with more then one witness it could not be described as unjustified." Shraa's tail flicked impatiently at Jane's feet, eager to be running again.

Adia paced about her dorm. 'when will it be 3 A.M.??'Adia thought to herself getting more and more impatient as she paced. Will you settle down...patience is a virtue you know... 'Whatever...'

Echo was already in the empty and forgotten room, waiting for anyone who might come early. The only light that filled it was the moon's rays that came through the heavily frosted windows.

Desks were piled on top of one another, while chairs had been pushed to the sides and stacked as well. Dusty chalkboards and limp training dummies were scattered about the large room. A wall of dust illuminated by the moon shifted from side to side in the air, almost giving the room a surreal feeling of being underwater. The magic of the silent room, made you feel almost as if you had stepped into a dream... an escape that couldn't be disrupted by anything. Even the cameras that had been placed in all classrooms were taken out, adding more serene and magical feeling to the sanctuary.

Eliza spotted Echo in the scant illumination offer by the moonlight as she stepped inside. "How did you find this place?" she whispered in awe. A room that was genuinely free from outside influence, it was the sort of thing she had been dreaming of for the last two years, but even now she would need to be cautious.
