“Kyoko? Are you paying attention?”

Kyoko looked up, embarrassed. The other girls in the class chuckled but kept it down as best they could. Miss Barnum was a stickler for rules and laughing in class clearly broke the ‘No Frivolity or Gaiety’ rule. Learning was serious business.

Indeed, Kyoko had been reflecting on that which she had learned since gaining her powers several weeks ago and arriving here. The grief, the pain, was still strong (OOC The game is set in 2017, a few years from now, but chances are the Earthquake region around Japan will have suffered another tremor in the game world – let’s hope that no such real life disaster strikes again in our lifetime..) and so was the guilt.

Magic came with a price, and Kyoko would continue to pay it for the rest of her life. Sighing and knowing that whatever answer she gave the teacher wouldn’t be the right one, Kyoko looked up sheepishly and nodded.

The Teacher frowned, a deep monobrow that made her look mannish. The school – the Willington Bedford academy for higher learning – was expensive and exclusive, but they didn’t let the wealth or importance of their charges influence their teaching or their methods of disciplining students, and Kyoko had thought it important that were the case. With money beyond her wildest dreams and no need to ever work again, she needed to keep both feet on the ground.

Doubly hard seeing as she was a sorceress…

With the next lengthy tirade Miss Barnum rose several octaves and took on a decidedly purple hue. Kyoko wondered what she would look like with a pointed witches hat on, then quelled the idea. About to demurely answer and admit her guilt at daydreaming, Kyoko suddenly shuddered.

It felt like someone had turned the temperature down in the room by twenty degrees! She shivered and looked around, but saw only bowed heads and other pupils trying to avoid the teachers wrath!

Then she saw something else.
