And the shit-ith hath hit-eth the fan

[Prof Octavious Everritt]

(ooc: if u read my post properly i created a phoenix!!)

[James McFinnigan]

Fin woke up with a start. "Where am I?" he wondered out oud. Then, he looked around, and noticed that he was in the great hall, surrounded by professors and one student. He noticed they all seemed to be passed out.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a very tattered bar of chocolate. Breaking off a piece, he slipped it into Kieron's mouth. He didn't look injured, just like he needed help.

"Wake up, man! we gotta get the teachers to the infermery," he said, kicking him gently.



(ooc: since spells don't work on magical burns, and the pheonix is basically a spell, i assume moncrieff would still be in pain.)

[Kieron E'Drien]

Algernon...Professor Addis...Ugh. Chocolate?

Kieron gasped lightly as he felt something in his mouth, chewing it quickly and swallowing it before it could venture into the back of his throat and choke him. Ah, how wonderful it was to have a choking fear, ne? Groaning, he opened his eyes and met those of Fin, his vision still a little blurry but his strength mostly returned. Looking to the side a little dazed, he noticed Professor Addis, the unknown professor and Algernon passed out, although in Algernons case it was different. There was a created phoenix, crying over him and healing his burns, except for the one on one of his hands. His poor Algy looked terrible, and so did the others. "Hnn. Thanks for the chocolate Fin, I owe you one." He replied shakily, getting into a sitting position. His head hurt like hell. "But don't kick me again." Raising to his feet, he ran over to Algernon rather shakily, the phoenix still there helping with his burns. "Oh Algernon.." He breathed sadly, dropping to his knees by the other mans body, stroking the top of his head and trying not to get in the phoenix's way. "Please, get better. Wake up and let me know you're alright." He knew Algernon probably needed quite some time to rest; but he needed to know if he was alright or not. After what had all happened, it had him terribly worried.

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

"Kier..." Algernon's voice cracked; he went through another fit of coughing. "Kieron?" He called out, unseeing eyes moving as if to search for him. He reached out his hands to push himself up, and hissed as the right one touched the floor, cluthing it to him. "Rest are gone, though..?" He asked himself, nodding disorientedly. He reached out his right hand, waving it about in the air until it caught Kieron's shoulder. He pulled the boy toward him, burrying his face in his neck. "Merlin, Kieron, what happened?" He whispered. He heard Fin scuffling, and turned his head reflexivly, though he could not see who was making the noise. "Who else is there?" He asked, sounding more frightened than he meant to. "Where's Rainer? And, Merlin, Kim! She has to be-- " He tried to struggle to his feet, his legs collapsing uncooperatively under him.

[James McFinnigan]

"Oh god, Kim! Who's bright idea was it to leave her alone like that?!" he askedas he rushed out the door.

[Mandrake Black]

Mandrake stood there watching the scene. He was walking down the hall looking for a bathroom, when he noticed the commotion. When Algernon mentioned Kim, Mandrake new what he had to do. He had to prove himself to show that hes not a worthless git.

[Kieron E'Drien]

Algernons..blind?! Kieron thought to himself, but placed a steady arm around the other man as to not have him fall from trying to get onto his feet. Clicking his tongue in disapprovement, he opened his lips to reply. "Ssh. You shouldn't get up so quickly, it's alright. Fin's in here along with Professor Addis and the other professor..which I assume now is Professor Rainer or something to the sort. The other two professors are passed out though. You were healed by a phoenix that Addis created to heal us." Sighing softly, he continued on, a frown on his lips. "You passed out when we were fighting against Kim, remember? And then I suppose Rainer transported us here to the Great Hall to keep us safe. I was out for awhile as well because I was drained of my energy, but then Fin woke me up." Chuckling, he buried his face in the other's long locks. "Hopefully thats enough information for you." The wizard mumbled. He then raised his head quickly as Fin rushed out the door to find Kim. Eyes widening, he groaned. "Merlin..what is he thinking.."

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

Algernon was silent for a moment, taking it all in. So... Rainer had saved them. He would have to thank him for that. Sighing, he patted his pockets for his wand -- and froze. "That little tart took my wand!" He exclaimed. He took a step toward the door, falling ackwardly against Kieron. His legs were being very uncooperative. "I have to go get it." He pleaded to Kieron. "And we can't let Mr. McFinnigan go off alone. Are any of the other teachers around? The Headmistress. We need -help!-" he yelled, full of frusteration.

[Kieron E'Drien]

Kieron sighed in irritation, knowing that Algernon was panicking but it wasn't good for him. "For Merlins sake, Algernon! Calm down." The wizard replied, looking at the other man sternly with slanted eyes. "You just got healed. Not to mention the fact that you're blind for the moment. You can't go get your wand, not now. I know it's important to you, but you just /can't/." Shaking his head, he paused for a moment. "I /would/ go after Fin if I could, but I need to stay here with you and help you. I don't want to leave you alone like this. And i'm sure the headmistress is around here somewhere and will help with the situation. But it's best for you to stay put." He looked to the other two professors, knowing that they both just probably needed rest at that time, and he then looked back to Algernon. "Now just six and relax. You need to." Kieron pleaded.

[Prof. Eithne l'Keitha]

"Alright, enough of this!" Prof. l'keitha exclaimed [ooc: after 13 hours of sleep and a sandwich]. "Prof. moncrieff, you need to get to the infirmary and stop dragging yourself about the floor... Breakfast is about to start and we don't need the entire school in a panic."

Kieron looked up at her, surprised at the sudden interruption. She was sorry for having startled them and said more softly, "Kieron is right. You need to rest."
She turned to the student, "Perhaps... you would like to help me levitate Prof. Moncrieff to the infirmary? I think apparation wuld be too much for him right now." She paused and, taking note of Keiron's arms bracing the divination professor from the floor, said even lower, "And then you might like some time to... talk - to calm him down. You both need the rest..."

[Ethelion Eriksson]

"These two certainly look like an infirmary bedrest is in order. In the meantime... We need to inform the Headmistress, others will have to see to securing the school, floor by floor, and in the current state, i suggest that breakfast be delayed, and that the first two periods of class be canceled until things have calmed down. Not that I mind, no one comes to history class this early in the morning anyway. Seems to be by tradition tho and through no fault of my own. Anyway, let's get these two to the infirmary first. Then assign someone to go to the various houses and order their doors to be shut. And finally, form groups of at least two and begin securing the school. What does everyone think?"

Professor Ethelion looked around at the tired and worried faces around him. He gave a sigh. How can so much go wrong just in the first couple of days?

[Prof. Rainer Freundschaft]

What Rainer dreams:

Erich Aubry stands over his body, smiling his old sly smile. "Well Langley, that was a nifty trick, mein Zaubermaus." his voice sounds as if from far away. "So you punch down a wall and then use gravity spells to simultaneously drag the wreckage towards your target and recover her hostage all in one deft move. Ha. Punching down a wall, that's pretty earthy of you Rainer, I think you're getting old."

He smiles expectantly, as if Rainer might, at any moment, utter some cutting remark or answer at the very least. Silence. Aubry crouches beside him with a sigh, "You can do better than that, nein? Like what you did to me, for instance. What was that again? Right. Snapping my mind in to permanent psychic trance and turning my cursed body in to water- pouring me out in to Baltic Sea. Even I didnft see that last one but you were always a sneaky kid." Rainer shivers. "Oh of course you can hear me. You belonged to me long before you tried to kill me and I have been with you even after." At this he begins to stir, muttering empty banishing in his sleep though there is no magic for their application. "That is very impolite, you know how those make me itch. I don't suppose youfre trying to get their attention- or his rather," he says, nodding brusquely towards Algernon. Erich sniggers, continuing in a childish falsetto, "You only like him because he reminds you of me, anyway. You know that don't you? He isnft even all that attractive when you look up close and, he canft do magic to save his life. Clearly." He pauses then, staring at professor Moncrieff intently for a moment, laughing louder now and cries out as if scandalized, "Oh Rainer, you sure know how to pick them. Imagine I'd miss something like that- He's part centaur you know! Well I suppose this explains why they've been so worked up lately..." He trails off, standing then, his height towering over Raine's unconscious form and finds himself waning, decides to finish this. "But more importantly, boy, I am your echo, and I'll bring down whatever life you build for yourself. Years from now when this world ends and you are the last man on Earth, which undoubtedly you will be let us not kid ourselves, I will be the breeze and the bell and I will be with you. But thatfs how you want it nein?" Erich is close again, in the instantaneous movement of dreams and breathing hot and ghostlike across Rainer's sleeping face, his voice picking up its rhythm. "Just like we used to say when we were just boys, everything that is solid..."

"...Melts in to air," Rainer answers in his sleep, though no one but Erich will hear him. "Aww Langley, you remembered. There is so much to be done," and he whispers now, low and vibrating with the tenor of a psychic press, "So wake up." Though he cannot remember what he dreamed of, Rainer's eyes open to the open sky and wide spaces of the Great Hall.

[Prof. Algernon Moncrieff]

"No, I need to help, Eriksson is right, there's so much to be done--" He stopped, sighing. "Oh, sod it all. Levitate me away." He took Kieron's hand in his, squeezing it tightly, part caring about the other Professors watching. If they wanted to report him for it then they could do as they bloody well liked. "You'll come with me, won't you?" he asked. Kieron nodded, and though Algernon couldn't see him, he knew the answer. "Alright then. And someone should help Rainer... Kieron says Leigh healed him, but it sounds as if he's just woken up."

[Ethelion Eriksson]

"Very well then. Eithne, would you like to see the Professors and Keiron to the infirmiary, and then see if you can gather the staff in the staff room with the headmistress. I will see to Kim, and Fin, hopefully he hasn't done something to harm us all. Professor Mandrake, if you would kindly please see to the safety of the students and make sure they stay in their dorms? And then meet us all in the staff room and make sure to find the headmistress?"

Professor Ethelion looked around at the group around him. He noticed Prof. Moncrieff's actions, but being understanding, said nothing. It is not the Eastern way to mind other people's business. One may observe but one may not always speak freely.
