What to do and how you know when the schools are angry:
Storm: Their glare sends sparks of electricity into the air, crackling around them with pure energy. In the distance, you can very easily hear the distant roll of thunder approaching as you watch them visibly shake with all of that pent up energy. Recommended actions: help them calm down by pulling up a 10 hour YouTube video of rain sounds or ocean waves. You know it works when the thunder starts receding. Speaking in soft tones forces them to listen closely to what youâre saying. After all, they canât hear with all that thunder in the background.
Ice: Their whole body is tense; frozen stiff. You notice your breath is visible despite it being the beginning of July. Out of the corner of your eye, you see icicles; sharp and menacing that are descending from the ceiling and look dangerously close to snapping off and impaling the poor unfortunate souls beneath them. Recommended actions: play a winter themed song. âLet it Snowâ is always a good choice but if that fails, try 'Winter Wonderlandâ. Theyâll abashedly thank you later for it.
Fire: The floor beneath them seems to have scortch marks as they pace back and forth. Youâre starting to sweat uncomfortably but you donât want to say anything in case it might set them off. They mutter to themselves as objects around them start to melt and/or cave in on themselves. Smoke rises from their body as their pacing becomes a bit more erratic. You idle try to recall where the nearest exit is. Recommended actions: humor defuses the situation; always keep an emergency bag of marshmallows on your person and jokingly ask if they would like you to find you both a couple of sticks. They may snap harshly at you, donât be alarmed. Simply explain to them you thought a mini campfire would be a good way for you both to sit and talk. Theyâll huff and puff but will eventually agree and simmer down.
Myth: Try really hard not to get angry with them despite how they are treating you. Those harsh words they are throwing in your direction are their ways of distracting themselves so the shaking of the ground doesnât worsen. You glance out the window as you bite your tongue and notice the sky is a gross burnt yellow color, swirling counterclockwise in an angry imitation of what could possibly be a tornado. This coupled with the rapidly spreading cracks in the ground make for a dangerous combo. Recommended actions: swallow your pride and try to boost their ego. âYouâre rightâ seems to be their favorite phrase to be uttered to them and allows them to calm themselves. Theyâll get a little tsundere on you but will be glad you helped calm them down.
Life: You canât tell theyâre angry at first as they seem to give the silent treatment but as their movements get snappier with their nose turned up, you quickly take notice of the veggitation that surrounds you both. These plants look almostâŚhostile. All razor sharp thorns and sickly sweet fumes surround you. This could possibly be poison but donât worry! They wouldnât kill another student, thatâs just wrong. They vines are getting a little too grabby for comfort, however. Recommended actions: as calm as you can, ask if they would teach you how to garden. Even if you know how to already, the fact that you want to know more on how to care for the earth quickly brings a smile to their face. The evil weeds recede and you both go on your merry way.
Death: Youâre terrfied. Understandably so, what with all those disembodied whispers circling the area. Their movements are jerkyâŚalmost as if their bones have forgotten how to work. You feel chills running down your spine, disgustingly reminiscent of a Rotting Fodderâs fingers. And they just wonât stop staring at you. The whispers are starting to grow in volume and urgency. If this keeps up, the whispers could potentially start screaming. Recommended actions: tell them youâre scared. They hate to admit it, but nothing hurts more than pushing their loved ones away. A few tears of frustration will fall; donât point them out. They donât often cry. Once youâve both settled into an awkward silence, tell them about how you saw some Darkmoor books in the baazar and thought they might like them. Theyâll hesitantly grin and suggest going together to check them out.
Balance: Nothing feels right. Everything feelsâŚoff. Like up is now down and vice versa. Theyâre usually pretty chill so itâs shocking to see them snap at the littlest things. You didnât think theyâd yell at a piggle, honestly. But they did. The wind tears your hair away from your face, blowing particles of dust and sand into your eyes. If that wasnât worse, you could almost swear the other students around you were talking backwards. Everything just seemsâŚout of balance. Recommended actions: sit them down for tea and ask them deep questions about the spiral. 'What ifsâ that really make one think. Theyâll become distracted with trying to come up for an answer that theyâll forget their anger. For the momentâŚ
Remember to take care of your wizard friends. Theyâll appreciate and return the gesture, I assure you.
