School's Out

Moka holds onto Nerissa's arm while Yukari does the same to herself, all of them walking in a line behind Reima as he leads them through the large opulent city.

Siegelinde stands with her sword pressed into the stone floor in-front of a store, raising her hand and waving at Nerissa, "You're back? So eager to fight me again?" she says, not taking note of Yukari giggling at her onion-shaped helmet.

Nerissa "School's Out." she states, Reima's brow twitching at her choice of words.

Mizore "Who're you?" she asks with a neutral expression.

Sieglinde, "Me? I'm Sieglinde of Catarina, knight captain of Ichor!" she exclaims, pride filling her voice.

Yukari/Moka "Ohooooho?" the say, not really knowing how high up her position is.

Sieglinde chuckles, "That's enough to impress you lot? Don't you know who is leading you?" she asks as if it's the most obvious thing.

Ciri "Enough Sieglinde... You'll give him a big head."

Sieglinde "All the better for you Ciri!" she laughs and receives a punch to her helmet, shaking her head.

Ciri "Alright, we're busy so tell your jokes somewhere else Miss Onion." she huffs and stomps after Reima who was still walking.

Yukari "Your family is weird." she whispers to Nerissa, the vampiress nodding at her in agreement.

Moka "I think it's fun." she adds, feeling like she wanted something similar.

As they walk they come across a few patrols of Prospects, the masked men giving them appraising looks due to the way Reima is leading them.

Yukari "What's with the masks?" she asks, curious.

Nerissa looks up in thought before giving a short answer, "Armour."

Moka "Armour? But they don't look all that effective." she mutters.

Yukari "Maybe they're enchanted? Wouldn't be the first time a mask was used like that."

Moka "But for the town guard?"

Yukari slowly shakes her head, "No, that, would be a first." she says, trying to get a closer look at the Prospects masks without them noticing.

Eventually, they reach the gates of Kaer Morhen, already lifted but providing an impressive sight nonetheless.

Reima steps over the drawbridge and into the first courtyard, a man in armour with a silver arm walking over and grabbing each others forearm.

Arie "Where've you been Reima? I get that your busy but you should find time to have some drinks." he says, clearly much happier with his new arm.

Reima "I will, I will... Just gather everyone, set a time, and I'll turn up... You seem to forget I can literally teleport anywhere I want."

Arie scratches the back of his head with his silver arm, "Ah, yeah... Right..." his eyes glance at the group following Reima, "This part of your harem then?" he asks with a laugh.

Before Reima can get a word in Ciri's already prowling, "Sorry, I must have miss heard but I swear I heard you say something about his "Harem", care to enlighten me?" she asks, her personality bringing out more of her father than Reima appreciates.

Arie sweats, "Er, yeah... Rei's... Male harem!... That's what we call it when all the guys are out drinking..." he quickly says, causing more misunderstandings in the minds of the girls.

Ciri smiles at Arie and Reima, "I'll be looking forward to hearing about the "Harem" then Rei." she says, and Reima can tell she's barely holding in her laughter.

Reima sends an irritated look to the remorseful Arie as he steps past him. "Ciri, about that Harem-"

Ciri chuckles, "Yeah, Geralt will be hearing about that."

Reima sighs, "Let's just get these guys sorted out." he says, defeated.

Reima leads the group up Kaer Morhen, the keep looking much cleaner and more expensive than when Avallac'h had been here. He goes to the room under the topmost that belongs to Geralt and Yennefer. The rooms are attached to a hallway which'll allow them easy access to one another.

Reima enters one room, "This'll be yours Mizore-chan, try not to spend too much time on the balcony... Some of the residents in Kaer Morhen and Ichor can be a bit... Loud." he says, remembering Solaire singing an old Lodran song about a prince screwing a maid with large breasts.

Mizore walks around, checking the T.V in the room and finding some sort of game console attached to it. She points to it and looks at Reima questioningly, "What's this?"

Reima hadn't even noticed it, but when he does he sends a glare at it. "I... Have no idea... Why does no one tell me about anything?" he complains, wishing he'd been told if a new gaming console had been created or not.

Mizore then walks over and opens the doors to the balcony, a baleful wind blows her hair backwards as well as slapping the other's in the face by its speed alone. "Nnn, perfect." she says, her voice barely audible over the wind. She struggles to close the door but eventually manages it, turning and sending a smile at the others, "We'll write a paper about this."

Nerissa looks up at Reima, "Can we?"

Reima shrugs, "Do what you want, it's not like anyone could follow us back, or more likely, threaten us... Well, unless you forget to use your necklace." he admits, but it seems that halfway through his sentence he'd been ignored, Nerissa hugging his waist with a satisfied expression.

Reima "Stop acting so cute Snuffles, or I'll have trouble letting you go." he says rubbing her head while the others watch.

Yukari "So, what about my room?" she asks with a huge grin.

Reima walks out with Nerissa still attached to him, opening the next door on his left and gesturing inside, "There you go, your majesty... Oh, and if any of you girls need something, just call for Hinky."

*Pop!*

Hinky "Yes master!?!"

...

Reima "Introduce yourself to them Hinky, they're our guests for a while."

So yeah, the Newspaper club is visiting Ichor!... Yay?

As always, if I missed anything please let me know.
