♡*+Roses M+*♡

And back to the library we go! Walking out, I see two people from the ceremony flying on brooms, complaining about the havoc. 'I'm gonna take a wild guess and say they are pomefire,' I think as I continue to follow Crowley, who is muttering to himself about things I couldn't understand in the slightest.

Soon enough, we made it to the library, now actually getting a good look at this place, the dim but filling light of the oil lamps on every other shelf, and the soft swish of books and pages flying by really captures the magic of the space.

"Wow.... It's so pretty in here... I could stay in here forever!" I softly exclaim since we are in a library.

"Yes, this library houses nearly every book written in Twisted Wonderland, covering things from the beginnings of practical magic to even the technological evolution of humanity! With creativity comes knowledge, and having both is the most important thing of all and should always be nurtured for the betterment of the future," Crowley answers, gesturing to the aisles stacked with books, "Now I see the best way to find out more on how to send you home is to divide and conquer. So you take shelves B5-8, and I shall look through the scrolls while the staff looks for any other books that might have an answer. My how diligent and gracious I am!"

After a sigh and an annoyed eye roll, we split up. Though we all know it does not prove fruitful. 'Well, no harm in looking regardless,' I think as I find shelf B5 and start to skim the spines of well-loved leather and fabric-bound books. As I look, I find a light blue bound book with black trim and silver scribing, 'The Legend of the Lucky Rabbit and the Magic Brush,' the title reads.

"Lucky Rabbit? Brush? Where have I seen those together?....wait...I don't recognize this language, but I can read it, and it makes sense...now that I think about it, even talking isn't how it is back at home," I talk to myself in what I know as what I use at home.

While I contemplate taking the blue book and continue looking for more relevant things.

About an hour and a half later, the clock reads 5 past 11, and my eyes are starting to weigh like boulders.

"Just as I'd suspected. Nothing. Not only is your homeland not listed on any map, but it's also not mentioned in any book from any point in history," Crowley smacks his book shut, startling me out of my path to night night land, "Now you are QUITE sure that you come from such a place? That wasn't some sort of lie or jape?"

"*Yawn* Mr. Crowley, if I were to lie about such a thing, why would the dark mirror say where I am from does not exist before I even said it?.... It's not like I would get anything out of it if I were lying." I respond as I stand up and start to stack the books I pulled out, putting them on the sorting trolley.

"I see... Then the only viable explanation is that you come from another planet, or perhaps a different dimension." Crowley ponders and follows my actions of cleaning up.

"If I'm going to be honest, I wouldn't be shocked, I mean, in my world we have found planets that can probably sustain life, and while it's still a theory, alternate or multiple dimensions are commonly believed to be true. And with the craziness that has happened in the past, what, 3-4 hours? I'd believe that alligators can talk and play the trumpet without having to see it for myself," I say, putting another stack of books on the cart.

"Hmm, if you don't mind, can you please show me all that you brought here with you. Some form of identification, like a driver's license, cellphone, or even a shoe, might help." Crowley asks, turning to me with a puzzled look.

I shrug and start patting myself down, "I mean, sure, but I don't think I have anything- wait, I don't remember carrying this bag before coming here?"

Once I got past my waist, I noticed a pull-string pouch-like bag that couldn't be bigger than a medium can of Cristco. It had a creamy beige fabric that covered 3/4 of the bag, with the remaining fabric being a striped chocolate bottom divided by a gold trim with gold strings. 'Weird? It kinda looks like the ghost camera inspired bag I drew when I first started playing,' I think to myself and open the bag.

Inside, it had a similar pattern to the inside of my robe, but instead of the purple background, it was midnight blue with tiny gold keys. But after about two inches, it became a black, foggy void.

'ok...def not unusual, I mean it's just like a bag of holding! What's the worst that can happen? It doesn't look like a mimic.' I try to instill some confidence. With a breath, I stick my hand into the bag and try to reach for something.

"hm...I don't think there is anything in here." Then a leathery object brushes my hand, "AH!!!! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"

"SHHHH, do be quiet, it might be past school hours, but we are still in a library, and please watch your language, young one." Crowley shushes me.

"Sorry....ok deep breath in...deep breath out...ok one, two, three, Go!" I hype myself up, stick my hand back into the bag, grab the first thing I feel, and pull it out. I open my eyes, not knowing I closed them, and saw what I pulled out was my wallet and phone.

"Thank heavens! If I had seriously lost my wallet and phone, I would have started hurting people. Anyways, here's my ID, I'm gonna try to get my phone to work," I say, handing Crowley the semi-plastic card as I try to get my phone to turn on.

'PlzplzplzplzplzPLZ turn on!!! I need to do my dailies!!!!!' Boom light 'FAHHHH! THAT'S BRIGHT!'

"Hm, while this does look like a true issued ID, it does not look like any of the ones issued in any region of Twisted Wonderland," Crowley states with a conflicted face and hands my ID back, "This is quite the predicament. I can not have someone with no aptitude for magic galavant through my academy, however, as an educator, I also can't let a child without a cent of our currency to their name or any contact to their guardians lose on the streets."

'Yay, phones on ok, so from the looks of it nothing has changed. Mom, Dad, thank you so much for the unlimited data plan. You saved my life and my login streaks!' I think clutching my phone to my chest, 'I'll look more when I get to bed.'

"Hmmmm....Ah! Truly, my grace is boundless!" Crowley exclaims with a sparkling flourish.

"Uh, huh, and care to share your graciousness with the class, Mr. Crowley?" I sarcastically responded

"Ah! Yes, there is a vacant building on this campus; it was, in fact, used as a dormitory a long time ago. With a proper cleaning, it should be habitable enough. So out of the profound kindness of my heart, I will allow you to live there for the time being." He answered as he started to make his way to the door.

"Thank you so very much, Mr. Crowley; however, what about finding a way to send me home? I mean, there has to be an answer somewhere?" I say with gritted teeth, knowing there is no use and what the answer is.

"Ah, yes, in the meantime, the staff here at NRC will investigate other ways to send you home, my dear. For I am a gracious man indeed! A model educator, one might say. Well then, I shall take you to your dorm straight away. It is an older building, but it has plenty of... character, so to say." Crowley "reassured" me with white lies.

'Haha bullshit'

--------------------★------------------

As the moon rises higher into the star-speckled sky, the wind blows colder and knocks into the rusty gate, squealing in protest as it sways.

"Ahahahaha, you're funny, Crowley, now where is the real dorm?" I say, looking around the place. 'look i know he is, but still....in reality it is a little unsettling from i hygeninic stand point.'

"This is the real dorm! Isn't it delightful? Right, scoot inside now, there you go!" Crowley laughs, then starts pushing me through the gates and up to the ragity building.

We got to the front door, and it just opened, no lock, no key, honestly shocked the door didn't disintegrate from the rot. Continuing on the only light that was in there was the reflection of the moon coming in from the windows in the door from the corridor and the gold beady eyes in Crowley's mask.

'....Can I meet the Heartslabyul 5 any sooner? I don't want to die from tetanus... Does tetanus even exist here? not the main problem, crowley your lucky I like the Haunted Mansion ride so much, otherwise I would sue you and this school for all its worth.' I think to myself as I tentatively walk on the creaky floorboards.

Soon, more light fills the area as we make it to the lounge. If it weren't for the dust and the state it's left in, it would probably be very cosy.

Crowley coughs and breaks the silence, "This should keep the elements at bay for the time being. Now, I should return to my research. You surely have some way to busy yourself. But don't let me catch you wandering the campus, Ta!" Crowley says, then with a swish of his cane, he starts to walk away, and then disappears in a small gust of black feathers.

"Hey, now, wait a second! You can't be serious? I- Crowley, be lucky I can't do shit yet, cause when I do, OH, you and this whole school are gonna feel. my. wrath!" I huff as I am too late to do anything to stop the man.

"*sigh* alright, there is no use in pouting, let's review what we already know." I sigh to myself and start to pace as I review all that I know.

"Ok, so I, for some reason, took Yuu's place and am now here in Twst. I have my phone, wallet, and this bag, and the ceremonial robes....which oddly enough fit much better than I thought they would. My phone turns on and doesn't look like it has changed, so maybe I can contact my family? Or some friends I haven't talked to in a while?....if they- NO, now is not the time! Anywho, we are currently in the prologue, roughly chapter 5, I think...So it should start raining, and Grim will show up soon, right?" To answer my question, the room starts to get darker, and you can hear the heavy pitter-patter of rain.

'Well that answers that...I wonder if this is caused by Malleus finding out he missed the ceremony? aww no thats so sad!' I think as the rain grows louder.

A beat later, I hear a small thud by the window. "GWAH! It's pouring out there!" The high-pitched voice of the great Grim.

"Hi, grim! Welcome back!" I say as I walk to the wet, fuzzy baby.

"Hello, thank you, wait? What! You're still here? But how? You can't do squat with magic!" Grim exclaims, jumping back, very confused about what's going on, and why I am so chill rn.

"HA lol you look like a bat that got blasted with a water gun with that face and your wet fur!" I mock as I take off my robe cape thing and crouch down to his level.

"MWHUH! How dare you make fun of me, human! I can burn your socks off!" Grim threatens as he pushes himself closer to the wall.

"I'm sure you can, honey, but right now, I need to dry you off so you don't catch a cold and we can talk, and if you behave, I'll try and get you some tuna tomorrow, how bout that?" I offer to the gremlin with a hint of sarcasm but with sincerity.

"I don't need help from a human like you! I'm perfectly fine on my own...but just so I know...how much tuna we talk'n?" Grim asks

"fresh grilled tuna steak and 3 deluxe tuna cans to snack on."

"SOLD!"

'Jeez, Azul really didn't have much trouble convincing this bucket of bolts.'

To be Continued.....

《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》《▪︎》

Yippie chapter 3 done! I need sleep any who i will probably have another chapter out within the next two days to make up for the past two weeks. I hope you are enjoying this! Idk if i am even doing well. Constructive criticism and pointers are very welcome. Just be polite about it. Love you all!!!!

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"(Name)! Was I not clear that you are expected to take responsibility for your familiar? Now discipline your-" 'Oh, hell no, that won't do.'

"I beg your pardon? While yes, you were clear in your direction, you were clearly not listening to me. Grim is not my familiar; he is an aspiring NRC student like the rest of the people in here. In addition to that, you were the one who was holding him and in temporary responsibility for him, so if anyone is to blame for negligence, it would be you! Or is your mask and position blinding you with your ego?" I cut the bird man off with a tone as solid as stone.

To that, Crowley is sputtering as the crowd is a mix of shock, gossip, and impress. Whispers of who I am and how Crowley will ever recover from that clap back can be heard around the room.

"o-oh ah, *cough* Ahem, I ah, well, thank you for voicing your concerns. I apologize for not hearing them sooner. However, I shall have it expelled from the campus," Crowley responds after a beat, trying to blow off his ignorance and reaches a hand out to take Grim. 'Sevens, I hate this emo big birb.'

"No," I say as I pull Grim closer and turn him out of Crowley's reach, "First, Grim is not an it; he is a living being and deserves respect like any other. Second, you will not take him if you are just going to throw him out on the street."

"Hmm! Fine, however, Grim must leave for he is a destruction to this campus, not chosen by the dark mirror, and a monster. The only criteria he meets is his use of magic, as reckless and destructive as it may be." Crowley tries, poorly, reasons on Grims removal.

"Why you! Your Toast-" "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!" Riddle casts

From his position, red sparkles aggressively shoot from his magical pen and fire straight to Grim's neck and blast him out of my arms. The magic wraps around Grim's neck in a heart shape, then forms the collar of Riddles, Unique Magic.

"MRAHH! OW!! What is this? W-wait, why can't I use my magic!" Grim panics as he pulls at his new collar.

"Queen of Hearts Rule 23: 'One must never bring a cat to a formal affair.' You are in direct violation of this rule," Riddle addresses Grim as if delivering the verdict to a criminal, then he turns to me, "And you, while there is no rule, I did not appreciate your blatant disrespect and threats to the headmaster and his authority."

'Oh yeah, I forgot Riddle was a massive stick in the mud before his OB...welp that's ok just give it time, and he will be the Riddle I know and love, till then I get to look at his cute angry face!'

"tsk... boot licker" I mutter under my breath.

"OH SHIT! AHHAHAHAHA" "wow, never thought someone would say it to his face, girls got guts" Ruggie cackles as Leona starts to actually give a fuck.

"What did you just say?" Riddle grits his teeth as his face starts to reach concering levels of red.

"nothing~," I say avoiding eye contact and start walking away, "OH! btw you're cute when you're mad"

"I- wh- A- Y- eh?!" Riddle sputters now turning eevenmore red with embarressment.

"That's quite enough from both of you! We are already behind schedule. Someone, please take it away." Crowley steps between us, breaking up a possible Riddle outrage. He then hands a collared grim to some NPC before I realize what he was doing. "Now with that out of the way, I hereby declare that the orientation has concluded. Housewardens, please escort your students back to the dorms!"

With that, Riddle and the other housewardens walk to the front of their respective dorm groups. To no one's surprise, the diasomnia group has no housewarden.

"....Hm? Come to think of it, I don't see Housewarden Draconia of Diasomnia House anywhere." Crowley comments on searching for the dragon. 'Curse you!!!! I wanted to see the smexy dragonman!!!!!' I cry internally.

"And that surprises you? Dude's a total recluse." Leona scoffs.

"Wait a sec....Did anyone even invite him?" Kalim asks as if it was an assigned job to invite Malleus 'tbh tho...that is a job and it's Crowley's and he still can't do that right.'

"If you're that worried about him missing out, maybe you should have told him yourself," Vil responds with a bite in his voice

"Maybe, but I don't know him too well either..." Kalim looks down, scratching his arm in guilt.

While the house wardens are "addressing" the situation, the rest of the room is whispering about the missing leader.

"Draconia....Like Malleus Draconia? THAT Draconia?"

"So it's true? He really does go to school here?"

"yikes"

"Screw that! Seriously, am I the only one who cares that she's a girl at an all-boys school!"

'All this fear for a man who gets sad when he can't have ice cream lol. And bro, you're not the only one stressin', ya girl here is too.'

"Hey, um, sorry to butt in, however, if you're supposed to be the leaders of your houses, shouldn't you also be keeping tabs on each other in case of emergencies, regardless of knowing them well? And you, Crowley, you're the headmage for crying out loud! You should know when one of your 'important' students is not in attendance for an important event!" I call them out on their bullshit excuses for not inviting one of my husbands.

"Ah. Just as I expected," a deep voice speaks as its owner makes himself present.

'Oh! Crap! I lwk forgot Lill's has a deep voice with a baby face! But yay Peapaw's here!'

"I figured I'd come down and see for myself whether Malleus had made an appearance," Lilia continues after a sigh, "But once again, he was evidently not informed that his presence was required at an official ceremony."

Azul steps forward, "You have my sincerest apologies. I assure you, this oversight was in no way intended as a snub."

"I mean, you must admit, he's not exactly the easiest person to strike up a conversation with," Riddle adds on as Kalim, Azul, and Vil nod in agreement. I think idia is too, but i cant tell cause hes virtualy here on the iPad.

"I call bullshit! y'all are just assholes and fear rumors about the person you never cared enough to learn that people are more than their labels!" I yell at them again since clearly they didn't get it the first time.

"Do you have a death wish?" Leona asks with restraint out of respect

"Yeah, why?" I answer with a deadpan, "Why wouldn't I when I find out I am taken from my home and somehow end up in a place where magic exists, almost get turned into a burnt chicken nugget, and to top it all off am stuck in an all-boys school as a girl without any way of protecting myself! So yeah, I have a death wish, and that's not gonna stop me from calling all of ya' out!" I turn back to Lilia, "Sorry for interrupting, you wanted to say something else?"

"Fufufu, no, that was all," He then turns to the group of students with green magic pens, "All in House of Diasomnia, follow me. I just hope he doesn't sulk about this."

Lilia leads the group to the door of the room and lets them out. When most of the students make it out the door, he walks over to me.

"Pardon me, but thank you, my dear. You didn't have to stand up for the young master." Lilia bows his head in thanks.

"Oh! No need to thank me! I know what it's like to be left out because of a reputation and appearances. If it's not out of line, I would love to meet this 'Malleus' person and hopefully be his friend." I smile, fanning innocence like I don't already know who Mal is and how badly I want him… as my friend! Totally not any other way, definitely not a dirty way that would be inappropriate....Yeah, I failed that persuasion check...

"Fufufufu, hm, I'll pass along the message, hope to see you soon, beastie." Lilia chuckles and returns to his group as I am glared at by a certain handsome knight and a crocodile.

'hehehe gotta get on Lilia's good side!' I think to myself as the dorms file out.

An intrigued ortho approaches as ignihyde leaves, "Sorry to disturb you, but you were really cool earlier! If you ever need assistance with anything, or if someone is bothering you, let me know, and my big brother and I can help!"

"Aw! Thank you! I'll keep that in mind or- um, what is your name?" I almost slip up. 'Can you blame me, tho? Ortho is a sweetie pie!!!'

"Oh! My name is Ortho! Ortho shroud!" The boy says, with a smile and an outstretched hand.

"hehe, Nice to meet you, Ortho! I hope to see you and meet your brother soon!" I return the smile with a giggle, 'his positivity is infectious! Aww, I want ortho as my baby brother!!!'

"Oh! By the way, my brother says you're like SSR-level cute! anywho Bye-bye!!" Ortho says before zooming out the door

"ORTHO!" Both Idia and I shout at the humanoid for two very different reasons.

Soon, Pomfiore is exiting with the students gossiping and sending me looks ranging from disgust to curiosity. Vil then comes up, he doesn't say anything, however, he does tuck a stray hair behind my ear before pretty much sashaying away....' ok....? so like am I gonna die or am I approved by the beauty queen? Oh well,' I shrug, not really knowing what to do, which doesn't matter much anymore given.

"WOW!!! OH MY SEVENS YOU WERE SO COOL!!!! You were like whoosh, and the monster was like whaAh! and then, and you, and you were just so cool!!! OH! I am so sorry, I'm Kalim, the housewarden of Scarabia! If you ever find yourself there, let me know, and we will throw you a party! Jamil is amazing at cooking, I'm sure you'll love it!" Kalim excitedly talks my ear off before Jamil comes over to save me? idk but I'm thankful for it 'love you kalim but that's a bit too loud when your infront of my face.

"Kalim, please calm down, you have to lead the new students back to the dorm," Jamil says with the blankest stare and tone in the world.

"OH CRAP!!! I am so sorry, and thank you for earlier! Please come by!!!!" Kalim says and rushes to the front of the group.

"I apologize if he was bothering you; he means well." Jamil bows in apology.

"Oh, no need to apologize. I'm sorry if it made you worry, and by the looks of it, he does that a lot," I get a small nod in confirmation of my claim, "oof, if you need a break and I'm still here, come find me, and I can try to help."

"I appreciate the offer. I'll keep that in mind. Now, if you will excuse me," Jamil says, then walks away.

'Just wait, Jamil, I am going to annoy you into taking a break...if I live long enough to get to your overblott,' I say as I watch him walk away.

"Ahem, sorry for disturbing you; however, your plan and quick thinking for capturing the poor unfortunate critter was quite impressive. If you would like to put those skills to use, just come to the monstro lounge, and we can discuss that more." Azul says while handing me a business card, 'of course he has fucking business cards....screw it', which I do take.

"Thank you? I'll keep that in mind...." I trail off with a raised eyebrow and look at the card, "Azul?"

"Yes, now I must get going, Farewell!" he says with a flourish and walks off.

'....wait....did he technically hit on me and give me his number?' I look back at the card, and lo and behold, there is his number, 'wow....I wonder how long it takes him to realize that's what he just did... Jade, Floyd, please don't tell him!'

Similar to Vil, Leona doesn't say anything, but he does look me over and continues walking out the door. However, Ruggie does approach.

"You are hilarious, thank you for giving me more fuel for the fire with Mr. Lazy Pants. Shehehehe," Ruggie says with a snicker.

"lol thanks man," I respond, and he nodds the continues on his way.

'thank god only Heartslabyul is left, I would fr crash out if I had to stand for more dorms.' I complain as I roll my ankle, with it starting to cramp up.

Riddle walks past with the sharpest death glare for someone with the squishiest face. I meet his eyes, smirk, and give him a little wave. To that, he scoffs and sticks his nose up and continues to lead his new card soldiers out the door.

"Well, (Name). This is a most unfortunate turn of events," Crowley says from behind me, nearly scaring me shitless, "I am afraid that you can not attend Night Raven College after all."

"Yeah yeah, I know I don't have magic, and not to mention I'm a girl, which isn't really the best for me to stay in a place with a bunch of hormonal and smelly boys....ew" I shudder at the thought of the smell...nasty!

"Yes, and you are SURE you are a girl?" Crowley asks

".....be so for real right now... BISH OF COURSE I'M SURE!!!! Last time I checked, I had all the needed parts to be biologically classified as a girl! I really don't have preferred pronouns. I'm chill with whatever. But Still! I am the owner of two X Chromosomes!" 'I knew from playing the game that Crowley was a pain in the ass, but this is excessive.'

"I see, then yes, two reasons you can not attend this school, but worry not. The Dark Mirror will see you safely home," then one of the coffins comes forward and opens, "Now, step into the gate, and visualize the place you whence came."

"idk if this is gonna work but ok" I say, knowing it won't work, but hey, it might wake me up....I hope.

"O Dark Mirror! Return this soul to where it belongs!" Crowley shouts the command

.....

....

nothing happens, shocker

"Ahem, l-let us, er... try this again. O Dark Mirror! Return this soul-"

The dark mirror cuts him off

"There is no such place."

"What?"

"There is no such Place in this world where this soul belongs. None." The Dark Mirror clarifies.

"How can that be? My, but today is a veritable cavalcade of impossible phenomena!" Crowley exclaims.

The mirror stays silent as I step out of the gate. 'Great...and my social battery is almost dead...this is just fan freaking tastic!'

"This has never happened throughout my long tenure. I must confess that I am at something of a loss. Tell me," He turns to me, "From what land do you hail?"

"Um, I'm from (country of origin); however, from what has happened, I wouldn't be shocked if that doesn't exist." I say as I start to sway back and forth. 'shit, this is bad... God, I do not like how this is turning out rn.'

"Hmm, I'm afraid I am not familiar with such a place. I am intimately acquainted with the origins of every student who has ever come here and yet.... This mysterious homeland of yours eludes me. Let's go to the library and look it up, shall we?" Crowley asks as he walks to the door.

"Yeah.....that would be best," I say and follow him out the door.

Unknown to either of us, the mirror did say one thing as we left.

"Go forth and save this school, we are running out of time, lucky rabbit."

Yippie!!!! Chapter 2 done sorry it took so long editing is a pain in the ass when your potental editors don't get back to you! Sorry for the mistakes and remember to be wicked and twisted!

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

You know when your just trying to get back to your off campus apartment before the first day of college, its polite to not bother them and take them out of the zone or out of the delusional land of nerdyness.

So when out of no where you get hit by an ebony darkness raven way horse drawn carriage one would be pissed off even if isekai transportation originally its appreciated. Though on the bright side, you did do your daily check ins!

"What the hell? Ouch! I swear if im dead im haunting those horses" Sarcasm dripping from your lips as you wake up too...nothing, absolutely nothing, just pitch black.

"Um....hello? If this is some kinda prank, it ain't funny please turn on the light please or at least open the door," you say as you reach out to find yourself enclosed in this dark space.

'Oh great just my luck im either buried alive or I have been kidnapped great,' you think as you think of the only two logical explanations, 'whelp...here goes nothing'

.

.

.

"HELP!!!!!!!!!! IM NOT DEAD NOR AM I THAT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE KIDNAPPED!!!! PLEASE LET ME OUT BEFORE I START CRYING!!!!!" You scream and hit the walls like your life depends on it, which it does.

Now unbeknownst to you, a small gray critter is running for its life in your direction, "I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me."

You hear outside your contanement the soft pitter patter of paws hitting the ground, "ugh why are there so many of these? Uh hmm...this one!"

Soon you hear rattles infront of you, 'hang on a second why does this feel familiar?' You think as the rattling stops momentarily.

"Urgggh...This lid weighs a ton! Hpmh! Well then try this on for size! MYA-HA!" The small voice says before a small wave of blue flames engulf the front of your box.

"BWAHH!!!! BISH WHAT THE FUCK IM IN HERE!!!!" You scream as you kick the flame covered lid off your coffin.

The board made a loud bang as it fell to the floor, and so did you as you fell out of the coffin.

"Hehe now to grab the goods....W-what?! You ain't supposed to be awake!" The tiny creature yelps as you stare around in disbelief and confusion.

"Ugh im gonna feel that for the next few days. Jeez, and why the hell am I in the mirror chamber did I win a twst event lottery or something?" You groan, while rubbing your head. You look around and seeing the floating coffins and Gothic aesthetics of the mirror chamber, but all around you.

'Wow whoever was the set designer of this event really knows there stuff! From the chandelier, the mirror fountain thing, the coffins, the offended breathing grim!....wait offened breathing grim?!' You whip your head to the creature across from you and stare in disbelief.

"Oh-ho! You got a Lotta nerve ignoring me, human! The name's Gr-"

"Grim?" You interrupt him with bug eyes and a shaky voice.

"Mryeah! Wait how do you know my name? And why are you looking at me like that- AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Grim screams as he tries to run away from your open armed attack.

"GRIMMY!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!! You are so much cuter in person!!!! I know your probably a robot but you look so cute and FLUFFY!!!!!" You squeal as you launch yourself at him trying to capture him in a cuddly hug!

"Mrah!!!! Stop!!! I may be fluffy but im not cute nor a robot and I like my personal space!!! Leave me alone!!!!" Grim howls as he runs out the chamber.

"BUT GRIMMY CUDDLES!!!!!" You respond as you chase after him. Through the halls, courtyard, and finally ending up in the library 'huh just like the game but.. reversed lol'

Soon you cornered grim against a wall of books with no real way out of a love attack. "Uh oh, ahem, n-now you may have me trapped, but unless you want to get b-burnt to a crisp I recommend you, uh, leave alone and give me that uniform!"

"Hm....ill take my chances"

"F-fine but I warned you, stay a wh-MEYOEW!!! THAT HURT! What gives?!" Grim yells as a black leather cord cracks and wraps around his next.

'Wait a sec I know that move? Is it-'

"Consider it tough love." A booming voice says

'Fuck its the dodo bird' you groan internally as you slowly turn around to find Crowley behind you pulling the whip could taught.

"Ah, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this years new students?" He asks gesturing to yourself and your getup. Wait getup?

You look down at your self and see the familiar robe and gold toed shoes of the Night Raven Ceramonial robes. 'Damn they must have payed good money for high quality replicas of the robes...I wonder if the let me keep them....wait...I DONT REMEMBER CHANGING?! WHICH PERVER FUCKING TOOK MY CLOTHES?!'

"My, were you ever eager to make your debut. And bringing a poorly trained familiar with you? That is a clear violation of the schools rules." Crowley rambles on, disregarding your distress.

"Ha as if I'd serve some lowly human! Now lemme go! MRMMPH!" Grim scoffs before the cord glows and tightens around him moving to cover his mouth and arms.

'Alright that was not achieved by technology, um...what the fuck is going on?' You think to yourself as you start putting pieces together.

"Yes, yes, rebellious familiar always say that now hush for a bit if you please." Crowley responds and turns back to you, as you are now starting to have a crisis. "Dear me. Of all the students I've dealt with, you're the first with temerity enough to open their own gate and step out of it."

'Oh oh my god....am I really? No NO, it cant be its impossible!? Right?' You battle yourself with logic and possibility.

"Does the very notion of patience elude you? No matter. Your orientation has already begun. Let us return to the mirror chamber." Crowly turns to walk out the door and the cord glows again and causes grim to float beside Crowley until he reaches the bird man's hand.

You continue to stand in shock and fear 'oh shit....im really in the game...oh my sevens i took the Mc's place and now im in the game. This is the best day- wait....*queue Joey's realization face* oh fuck im dead...im dead oh I am so dead!' You think to yourself as you realize just what you have some how gotten yourself into.

"Did you not here me? Please come now or we will be later than we already are." Crowley calls back ushering you to follow along by him.

"Oh shit! Sorry! Please give me a second to catch up!" You snap out of your daze and pick up the long skirt like part of the robe and jog to catch up to Crowley and his obserdly long strides, "hah, my apologies but what do mean student orientation?" You ask trying to make sure your not missing anything.

"You awakened in a room full of gates, did you not? All of the students here at campus arrived by passing through such gates." He explains, then puts his golden clawed hand on his chin, "although typically the students have restraint enough to wait until I open them before waking up."

"Ah I see, I apologize it seems dear sweet grimmy here found me and blew off the lid on mine before the event started. I apologize for the inconvenience, and please dont punish grim too bad, he was just trying to find a place to hide and find safety." I say trying to help grim out...and you know try to build trust.

"Hmm, I see so the culprit appears to be this familiar of yours. You're the one who insisted on bringing it so curtailing its behavior is your responsibility!" Crowley exclaims then hands the tied up grim over to me with an uncaring plop in my arms.

Grim looks at Crowley with offense and disdain, then he turns to me with a confused look. "Im sorry, please let me help" I mouth to him quietly before Crowley resumes talking.

"But now is not the time for such prattle. You've a student orientation to attend! Now let us go on now we must make haste!" Crowley says and starts to speed up his walking.

"I- ok but as we walk can you please answer me this: what is this place and who are you?" I ask struggling to keep up and carry grim.

"Hm? Have you not fully regained consciousness? The timespace teleportation must have added your memories... Well, these things happen I suppose. I shall explain it to you while we walk. Truly, my magnanimity is boundless!" Crowley proceeds to explain NRC a nobleness of the school and howmuch on an honor to attend this school.

You however toon him out since you already know well....everything, and only add in small hums and sounds of awe when needed. 'OK, so I am in legit twisted wonderland, I am in a world of magic, I am in the game I play religiously, I have no magic, I have no money, and I have no way out....fuck im screwed....wait SHIT I FORGOT THIS IS AN ALL GUYS SCHOOL! Shit now im really screwed....do you think they have like pepper spray that works even with magic protection....maybe I still have my tazzer....that should work! And if all else fails, catch fish, feed grim, boom arson cat thats also a projectile!.....yeah im gonna be dead in the first month.'

"Well we have arrived, I know we are coming in late, but i shall handle the fuss for i am so gracious!" Crowley says with a flourish and pulls open the door, "I most certainly did not!"

With that I look into the room full of random side characters and my husbands! Wait no my future friends and therapy clients.

Crowley continues, "If you must know, I was searching for the new student who'd failed to show for orientation," he then turns to me with an out stretched hand, "You are the only one who has yet to be assigned a dorm. Please step up to the Dark mirror, and do be quick about it! I shall watch your....ah weasel until it is finnished."

Grim growls and the coment and I reluctantly hand him over with another soft sorry. You then dust off your robe to take out the tiny wrinkles then turn to face the crowd and walk up to the mirror with enough confidence as you can muster.

"Wow hes really pretty, hes bound to join Pomefiore."

"No hes definitely going to Heartslabyul, hes marching like a card soldier"

"Dude thats fear if anything he'll make it to ignihyed, Octavinelle at best"

"I think they would do well at scarabia he looks like he knows how to party"

"Or he could be a curve ball and be put in Savanaclaw or diasomnia"

The murmurs and whispers echo through the room as I am stared down like road kill infront of a flock of vultures. 'Tbh they are vultures in a way' you think before stopping infront of the mirror.

After a beat the mirror clouds with a black fog and then green flames. Soon the mask trapped in the mirror appears "State thy name." It's says coldly. "(Full government name)" you answer with a little hint of fear.

'I see you shiver, with antisa' ".................."

".......the nature of your soul is"

'Pashion'

"Unclear to me" the mirror answers.

"What?" Every one says collectively, and you snicker at that.

"I sense no magical ability with this one, however she has knowledge of the future and the past that we may only understand until the time is right. Therefore, no dorm would be appropriate" The mirror clarifies and reveling a big part of my mysterious super secret.

"Damn you didn't have to call me out like that man, I wanted that to stay between me, myself, and I. Not cool dude" I jokingly say to the mirror, as it gives me a dead face.

"Are you suggesting that the dark carriage went to receive a person who cannot even use magic?" He looks a the mirror then at me and I just shrug not knowing really what to say, "but thats absurd! The student selection process has not erred once in its centuries of existence! How could this have happened?"

'And three, two, one' i count off in my head and my fingers and then point causing attention to turn from me to Crowley, more specifically the grim that is escaping his bounds.

"Mmmph! Nmmya! *gasp!* ME! let ME take this guy's seat!" Grim says as he puts distance between him and Crowley to which he responds "h-Hey! Not so fast, you hyperactive weasel!"

"I am not a weasel! But unlike that strange magicless human," 'hey thats uncalled for....I just wanted to give you cuddles.', "I can actually use magic! So let me be a student here! Look, I'll show you! My spells are the cats meow!" Grim stands on his hind legs and places a paw on his chest with a sly grin.

Soon grim looks around, takes a big breath of air.

"EVERYONE/HEY LOSERS, GET DOWN!" You and a bright red headed boy yell and duck as grim spams fire ball. Def rolled nat 20 on his initial attack. "Myaaaahhahaha!!!" He laughs as the room goes into ruin and chaos.

"AAAAAH HELP! Im on fire over here!!!!" Kalim shouts as he starts to run around like a footless chicken.

"Hey dude with the white hair and red eyes take off the coat and stomp on it!" I yell to him, 'I would say use your unique magic but you dont know that I know that'

"AHHHH OK!" he proceeded to do what I said, "Ah! Thank you!"

I nod and give him a thumbs up as I look to Jamil standing beside him sighing and giving me a thankful nod.

"Someone catch this blasted animal before it sets this whole school ablaze!" Crowley exclaims like he isn't the headmaster himself and take care of it.

"Ugh. Can I go now or....?" Leona growns in the distance as he lays down on a vacant bench.

"Oh? I thought you fancy yourself a hunter. Go and help yourself to the plump morsel" vil states with a swish of his hair. 'Damn they both look ten times hotter in person! Fuck id kill to be in-between- wait now is not the time to simp, pull yourself together' I tell myself in my head.

"Nah, too much effort, do it yourself." Leona says as he lays back down.

"Oop, the husbands are fighting again!" I call out as I run by them snickering, and from a distance I hear another snicker trying to not double over in hysterics.

Azul then walks up to Crowley with an offer of help for a price thing, "allow me to handle this headmage if none of you are up to the task of catching a small animal, I will accept the responsibility." After that a fire ball zooms between them.

"How many times do I gotta say it? I am Grim, the spellcaster extraordinaire! And i am NOT a Weasel!!!!" Grim yells and continues to throw a fiery hissy fit.

"My! Aren't you a spunky little fellow? Say riddle, would you be so kind...?" Azul turns to the red head who looks like hes about to unleash hell.

"You furry miscreant. I will abide no rule-breaking. You will be judged by MY hand!" Riddle declares as he takes out his magic pen from its holder.

"....ill take that as a yes then" Azul mutters to him self as he copies riddles actions. Off they go chasing eachother around like lunatics.

'....you know i was hyped up in the beginning now this is just sad....hm...what could stop grim before they get him....if only I had a rope' you look around searching for something, then your eyes fall on a banner thats draping from the ceiling and my robe. 'Those'll work'.

Now on your feet rushing to a corner to put the plan into motion. Albeit with some struggle with the rush of students and fire, but the trap is set time to catch the wild grim!

"Why you....! GET OVRE HERE THIS INSTANT!!!" Riddle screams as Grim taunts.

"Heh heh ha y-you know I-, oh sevens, I didn't think the rodent would be so, hah, difficult to catch," Azul pants and huffs once he catches up to Riddle.

"Myahahaha! Is that all you got? I thought you guys were the best of the best, guess thats all talk! Well how 'bout you try blocking this-"

"Oi! Grim! Betcha 5 cans of tuna you cant catch me without magic!" I call out standing proud infront of the trap so he cant see it.

"MRAWHAAAAA!!! You think you can out run me? You dont even have magic! I'll show you!!!!" Grim declares and starts running across the room as I stand still.

'Now at this point, I would expect to be yelled at for such a stupid move or at least pulled out of the way. Thankfully that didn't happen, but I wonder why not....oh well. Back to the running grim.

"Haha your more stupid than I thought you were! Now I can really prove i deserve a spot here!!! Myahahha Gottcha-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" Grim bragged but soon he'd be eating his words....literally.

Once he got close enough, you slid out of his way and stuck a foot tripping him and landing dead center of your robe on the ground. Then you got up on to the bench and jumped to the dangling banner and pulled. 'Hehehe and just like that the cat is back in the bag...or I guess robe in this case.'

From that the squirming grim was trapped hanging from the ceiling in a make shift pull string bag, screaming to put him down.

"Oh you want down? Ok!" You say as you let go of the banner and the trapped grim falls to the ground, "You done with your tantrum diaper baby?"

"Ughhhh, that hurt! I would blow fire in your face!" Grim groans

"Then why don't you?" Silence, ".......you win." Grim responds and stops wiggling.

"Hehe thats what I thought, uppsie daisy you big baby!" You say as you fish him out of the pile of cloth and hold him like a baby. 'My bby grimmy!' You smile

"What just happened?"

"Damn that was badass!"

"And hes just ok with that?"

"Am I the only one thats still hung up that hes a she"

"Mc auramaxxing over here"

'Yeah I just did that' you strut back to Crowley with a grim in your arms and a swish in your walk....then you see a very angry Crowley.
