Round 'Em Up, Move 'Em Out! (Seishin)

Jacob found himself sitting out at the Auditorium smoking a cigarette. He was supposed to be moving some stuff here but he found himself being particularly lazy at this point in time. He leaned back against the auditorium stage inhaling smoke with a hum coming from his lips.

Hasuhana ducked into the auditorium, carrying a small shriveled plant she had rescued from almost drowning. The auditorium was closest and she assumed it to be empty so she could heal the plant, but she froze when she saw the man, and she turned, intending to walk back out without being heard, before she dropped her bookbag. She shut her eyes tightly, before opening them again and bending down to pick it up, hoping that by some miracle he wouldn't notice.

He looked up from where he was leaning a curious expression crossed his features. "Excuse me Miss are you alright?" He tilted his hat a bit before taking it off and crossing his arms and standing up heading over towards her a friendly smile on the teachers face.

Hasuhana stood quickly and nodded awkwardly. "Y-Yes... sorry," she mumbled, fiddling with the sleeve of her grey sweater. "I didn't know a-anyone was in here," she said quietly, looking around nervously.

He smiles a bit and extends his hand to her. "Names Jacob Maston, I'm a Teacher here, I teach Defense and Combat Training, Whats your name Miss?"

Hasuhana bit her lip and shook his hand. "S-Seishin Hasuhana... I'm a s-student... but you p-probably already know that..." she mumbled. 'Defense and combat... how... interesting,' she thought.

He looked down for a moment his senses going wild as there was some kind of magic on her hand he turns it and looks at her palm noticing the black A there and raised an eyebrow. "If I may ask Miss Hasuhana, What is this? Its reeking of magic."

Hasuhana looked down and bit her lip. "N-nothing," she said, pulling her hand away quickly. She had found the 'A' on her hand earlier that day, and a bunch of memories had come rushing back to her that caused to start panicking. 'It was an aphrodisiac,' she had thought in horror, when she realized what she had gotten herself into. "J-just a... um... m-m-mark..." she said, trailing off uncomfortably.

Jacob looked at her for a moment and frowned noticing how uncomfortable she was. "Miss Hasuhana, I'm a teacher if anyone did anything to ya, All you have to do is tell me. Now I know that someone else put that mark on you because I don't sense any magic on you, I want to know who did it." He said with a tip of his hat. "I'm here ta help."

Hasuhana bit her lip and looked down. "I-I don't know what i-it really... is. But... I... just... I d-don't know how to e-explain..." she said, fiddling with the cuff of her sweater some more. "It's... it's... a... c-claim... I t-think. Or s-something like that."

Jacob's eyebrows raise a bit as he leans back and holds out his hand again. "I see...May I see it again? Who gave it to you?" He says in a more serious voice.

Hasuhana offered her hand and looked down at it with a slight flush on her face. "Um... a g-girl... but... I d-don't think... the thing i-is... I a-agreed to it," she said uncomfortably, deciding to leave out the bit about the aphrodisiac. She was pretty sure that would get Alice expelled or arrested and she didn't want to be the cause of that.

Jacob raised an eyebrow for a moment and ran a hand across it. "Would you like to be free? I could remove it if you like." He say hmming a moment. "Who is this girl?" He intended to find answers.

Hasuhana didn't know what to say. She didn't know how Alice would react if it disappeared, and even if she didn't know her that well she would still probably feel guilty, so she decided to address his second question first. "J-just... someone I m-met recently..." she said, shifting uncomfortably.

Jacob looks at her for a moment pulling the cigarette out of his mouth before putting it back in and taking a puff. "Need names Miss Hasuhana." He said as he studies it trying to get a lead on the magic.

"W-what will happen to her i-if I tell you?" she asked carefully, studying him with cautious eyes.

Jacob looks at Hasuhana for a moment before tossing the cigarette and stomps on it. "She won' get in much trouble, I just wan' to talk to her." He said quietly in an honest voice.

"A-alright... it's um... A-Alice Robbins..." she said quietly, fiddling with her sleeve. "Its... n-not that much of a b-big deal though," she lied, trying to fake a nonchalant smile.

Jacob keeps the name in mind before nodding a bit. "She'll not bother you again. Now, I'm going to remove this from yer hand darlin'"

Hasuhana nodded. "A-alright..." she said, offering him her hand again. "Um... w-what are you g-going to do?" she asked carefully, a little nervous.

Jacob takes a hold of her hand as a sharp pain emits as the mark slowly disappears. He then turns and tips his hat. "If you'll excuse me I'm goin' to speak to her now."

Hasuhana winced slightly at the pain. "A-alright..." she said. "But... I d-did consent to it," she pointed out, ignoring the fact that she had been drugged.
