"Present. Physically at least." Ziva answered jokingly from a seat near the back, but not too far back. She had her messenger bag with her, one of the two bags she had brought.

The lady smiled and nodded to the driver who closed the doors and started pulling away from the school.

Azalea, looked back to the last she would be seeing of the school before it faded away in the distance. "So what do we do now?"

"Now you relax until we reach the Academy. Upon arrival, you will be taken to your rooms. At the moment, you will have dormmates and you can decide who you would like to share with. Later in future, you can have your own rooms." She explained

Arabella smiled at the thought of having a roommate. Her previous one had left, never to return so she was alone for most of her time at the school

Phoenix smiled a little. Dormmates, that would be interesting to say the least. She looked to the back where everyone was slightly longingly. She took a deep breath and used the seats to help her into the back of the bus only getting about halfway before having to sit in an empty seat.

Sage's music drowned out everything. Lifting her picture the sun hit it perfectly, it still looked awful, but Sage was proud of it. "Beautiful." She said softly so she didn't shout.

Azalea lounged on two chairs and had her back up against the side of the bus, her arms were slightly magnetic which kept getting stuck to the walls so she determined a change of position was for the best. She took out her phone and put her earbuds in and clicked on a YouTube video to watch.

((ooh, that last one sounds fun

Arabella went up to the headmistress "when will we stop? I need to stretch my legs." She explained. The lady smiled and pointed "we could stop now, there is a gas bar here." She said and went to tell the driver. A few seconds later, the bus stopped at the gas bar and she ran out, stretching her legs.

((quick q, uh, what exactly is a gas bar? is it like a gas station?

Phoenix never understood the idea of 'stretching your legs' she always had 'stretch her wings'. She slowly made her way to the front before fluttering off and hovering letting her wings stretch out and use those muscles again.

Rio looked up when the bus stopped. Yawning he took the chance to stretch his legs. Getting up he quickly stepped off the bus, stretching as he did so.

Ziva climbed off of the bus, excited to look around at where they had stopped, and to get some fresh air. Buses were a bit cramped for her, and the leather always smelled funny.

(Gas bar in my mind is a gas station with a large convenience store.)

Arabella walked into the store and looked around for some proper food. She walked to the back where there were sandwiches and other similar items.

Unbeknownst to the students, a male Sigil was watching them. Once the got off the bus, he waved two fingers and melted into the shadows, appearing ner the bus, hidden in the shadows of a nearby tree.

((oh, so like one of those fancier gas stations okay
Ziva leaned against the bus to watch the others, scanning over the surrounding area. Such a boring trip. Travelling is supposed to be fun, and filled with excitement!

(Yeah lol)

Through the silent day, a sharp whistle was heard and black figures emerged from seemingly nowhere. The male Sigil smiled, white teeth shining.

Arabella heard the whistle as she was emerging from the store, bag filled with food. She saw a few figures and attempted to hide behind a garbage can. But right before she moved she heard a voice "I wouldn't do that if I were you love." A male voice spoke. She looked back to see a glint of silver and gulped

Ziva blinked, looking around, one hand going for her bag as she watched the figures appear. There we go. She grinned.

Rio instantly tensed when he saw the figures appear, what the heck??

"Now, I need all you pretty things to gather in a circle, and hand over all your valuable skills." He said, an accent visibly heard. Arabella stopped "you are Silver Jacks. You steal the abilities of people to give to Voids for a high price!" She said, eyes wide. The male smirked "well, the lass knows her history." He came forward and waved a hand in front of his face and the shadows disappeared "Xavier Joyce at your service."
