[Adventure] (Open!)

Who: Eleven, Hendrik, and OPEN
When: April 26th
Where: Magicademy > Docks
What: Adventure! The Empress's Package

Most people, by now, know to make themselves scarce when Headmaster Birony emerges from her office to walk the grounds. Unfortunately for you, you practically walked into her coming around a corner.

"Oh, hello!" she says, immediately shoving a box into your hands. "Take this to the docks and have them take it to the Empress of Noa. Thanks!"

And just like that, she's gone.

The package is light, fortunately, though the weight of carrying it will be heavy indeed -- a family of Ghostwalkers, Noa's infamous thieves and assassins that clearly have nothing to do with ninja at all, has already infiltrated the Magicademy looking for that very package. They'll stop at nothing to claim it!

"Oh.."

Eleven stared at the package, then glanced back up and around with a question on his lips, but it was too late. He hummed a short, inquisitive note, then shelved his plans for the weekend. The Headmaster had given him a task, and he knew the Empress personally. Surely he could deliver it for her.

Matter settled, Eleven tucked the package under his arm and turned toward the Promenade with idle thoughts and casual steps. He walked for all of a few minutes before a creeping awareness rose in his shoulders and fluttered anxiously in his stomach. Casual glances about revealed flickering shadows that seemed to follow him at a steadily decreasing distance.

Not again, he lamented, steps speeding up until he was forced to break into a run. Why am I always being chased?

But running a zig-zagging pattern through the school grounds revealed that his pursuers weren't fellow students this time. Their silent pursuit and shadowed movements spoke of formal training that sent his pulse skyrocketing.

Yggdrasil above, Hendrik was going to make him train until he dropped after this was over and he'd be lucky to have enough energy for his homework ever again, but it didn't look like he had a choice.

Eleven veered off toward the courtyard, praying the knight would be there.

"Hendrik!" he called, stopping only for a moment to catch his breath. He wheezed through the rest. "Pursuers- don't fight. Package. Docks!"

And without further warning than that, Eleven zipped away toward the main gate, heart in his throat and trusting his protector to follow.

It was almost comical to hear Orisa say something about not using lethal force, and then turn around and drop someone by punching them right in the face.

After the person dropped, the knight looked up at her and grinned. He was definitely glad that she was on their side.

Turning back to the Luminary, he just shook his head at the words spoken and ducked to avoid a bunch of crossbolts. Well, there was only one way to fight them and he charged so that they didn't have the room needed to do that again.

The warding spell came in after he'd taken down about five of the crossbolt wielders and was glad it had been him that was their target and not Eleven.

That wasn't lethal at all! Heck, she can use nonlethal force with a fusion driver. She's well-programmed.

Missile weapons pinged harmlessly off her armor as she shielded the two with raw bulk and presence, firing her fusion driver to force their assailants behind cover. "I'm not moving!" she declared, more as a matter of principle than actual refusal.
