nope's peak academy ❄ night one

[worldcup]

[ Good news: Illyasviel is rather please with the turn of events. Which is why she's finding the first person that she can spot and waves them over. Sorry, but it looks like you're stuck with her... and she even seems amused by it all. She could break the rules and not go with someone, but this might be fun, too. ]

Hey, did you want to go into one of our rooms? I have a large book that we could read, or we could play a game. I could also show you some of my magic tricks. It's not as good as real magic, but it's better than nothing, don't you think?

[ecthelion]

Oh, sure. I've been kind of worried about... well, everything happening here. That sounds like just what I need.

[worldcup]

Do you think someone is actually going to kill?

[ Might as well ask while they're at it. ]

[ecthelion]

I want to think that they won't, but there's enough people I haven't talked to that I'm worried about it.

[worldcup]

Well, if something does happen, we'll just have to figure it out, won't we?

[ecthelion]

That might be all we can do... but that will just make it more important.

[worldcup]

Yeah. That's why let's go!! We shouldn't just stand around here!

[ecthelion]

You've got a point...

[It would be great if they could catch someone overnight, then there won't be as much to do later.]

[worldcup]

[ It would be great, to be honest, but... what would they be able to do? If Illya had her powers, maybe she'd be able to do something to about it. Since they're not, it's probably best to limit casualities. Plus, they'd be able to be each other's alibi.

Anyway, she'll start skipping the way towards her room with the biggest grin on her lips, humming rather cheerfully to herself. ]

[ecthelion]

[If Ein had his Diviner, or any of his other weapons...

Whoops, he'd better not fall behind. Illya sure has a lot of energy.]

[worldcup]

[ She definitely does. Eventually they reach their destination - her room - and she opens it wide for him. ]

Come in, come in! I'll show you a bunch of tricks I can do!

[ecthelion]

All right. Go ahead.

[He's completely captivated.]

[worldcup]

Okay! For my first trick...

[ She shows her hands up in the air. ] You see how there's nothing in my hands, right? And now, in three, two, one--

[ Flowers appear in her hands like it was nothing. ] Aren't I amazing?!

[ecthelion]

I've never seen anything like it!

[This is actually true, despite one of his closest friends being a mildly pyromaniac battlewitch.]

[worldcup]

See? Isn't it amazing?

[ She beams, looking rather proud of herself. ] I wish I had my real magic, because then I could show you something even better!

[ecthelion]

So do I... what kinds of magic do you use?

[worldcup]

Well, the Einzberns' specialty is wish granting, so I can do a lot of things. Like for example, I can create familiars with strands of my hair.

[ecthelion]

Familiar creation...

[Now that jumps out at him.]

...it's only been a few days and I already miss Rose...

[worldcup]

Is she a friend of yours?

[ecthelion]

Yeah, my familiar.

[or at least that's what she called herself]

She's like a cat with wings.

[worldcup]

Oh, that sounds really cute... what's she like?

[ecthelion]

She's really smart, and hates actually being called a cat. There's a lot I still don't know, and she's pretty tough on me when it comes to that, but I wouldn't abandon her.

[worldcup]

I see... then again, I really hate cats.

[ecthelion]

Why?

[He hasn't come to his own opinion on actual cats, yet.]

[worldcup]

They're just really annoying!

[ She can't help but frown, just a little. ]
