When Dark Clashes

Mandisa: already?
Mireya: anything you need, we'll help.

Sirius and Vale just looked at their phones but decided it might look odd of they were all texting. So they just gave Nel questioning looks.

N: the princess of dark fae is being held captive by our headmaster. He's a dark fae fiend, so he can't hurt her, but he's kidnapped her mother. That's why she's so uptight.
Haru: WTF
Hikari: ru joking??
Wolf: what you need?

Mireya was so surprised that she dropped her phone on the table. Her rather girly and fairy themed case was soft, thankfully, and kept it from making a large sound. The noise of the cafeteria fully covered it and no one outside of their table noticed her clumsy moment. Even if they had, she was known for being a klutz at times.

Sirius: How sure are you about that?
Mireya: That's no small accusation, Nel. He's our Headmaster. Wouldn't someone know if he was a fiend, dark fae or otherwise?
Mandisa: Something like this is kind of normal for a dark fae though. I'm inclined to believe it. But we have to be sure before we do anything.
Vale: Have you told any of the teachers?

N: If we tell, he will kill her mum. We have to be very quiet about this. I know because the tarot told me so. Ask Trent, I'm sure he knows something.

She looked at the cat to get involved, but she figured he might try to not. "Who wants sodas?" She asked the group out loud.

Wolf: They haven't lied before. Also, hi kids.

"We do," Vale and Sirius said. Mireya and Mandisa joined them. But they were also looking at Trent. He was pointedly ignoring all of them. But maybe he wasn't because he did reply to the mass text.

Trent: The headmaster is a dark fae, but very few of the staff are even aware of that. Those that are aren't inclined to care that he's not human.

Gaius looked down at his phone and tried not to look as uncomfortable as he felt inside.

Gaius: Some of the higher uppers know. They're keeping it quiet because they think it might make the parents uncomfortable. We of the Organization know because it supports fiend/human relations to have a fiend Headmaster. But I doubt that anyone is aware of Bryna's mother being kidnapped. That raises questions about if he's he birth father or not.

Nel: he isn't.
Haru:

"Do you want help?" Vale called after her. But he thought she'd tell him no. Which was fine. "Today we have brought you chipotle popcorn chicken," he said to the others. "So...enjoy."

Mireya made a little face. She really couldn't concentrate at all on food right now knowing that someone in the school needed some desperate help.

Mireya: We need to involve the dark fae master. If Headmaster is strong enough to manipulate his princess like this then we're going to need him involved.
Mandisa: Braxton? He doesn't even live in this region.
Mireya: So? He travels for work all the time. And his Princess being in danger should be enough to bring him here. We can come up with some kind of excuse to talk to him too. Like...oh...I dunno, I could do a duet with him. People would totally buy us doing a song together and Headmaster wouldn't think anything of it.
Sirius: I have to drop by the label to submit some new designs for approval. I can bring it up then and see what they think of it. Get the ball rolling.

"Sure," Nel said, she didn't mind if he wanted to help. Carry it that was.

Wolf: good idea. If you can tell me what fiend he is, I'll look into stuff as well. I've also got people looking into him. Quietly.
Haru: How can I help?
Hikari: I'll talk to Cam too.

Vale got up from the table and went with Nel to help her carry all the food. The conversation was getting complicated and he was pretty sure that he couldn't do all that much to help. Not yet.

Gaius: I don't recall which fiend he is but I can likely find out by the end of the day.

Mireya: Go with Sirius and push for at least a meet with Braxton? I don't know that they'd give us his personal contact information. Maybe try and think of a few distractions. You two are very good at those and we might need some ready, in school or otherwise.

Sirius: Can do.

Nel smiled at Vale. "you can help me pick things they'd all like too." She said, because she was learning slowly.

Wolf: I know a guy who knows everything. If you find the type, I can find out how to get to him.
Ji: Mandisa...
Tae: Uh oh.
Wolf: Who invited the dragon twins?
Drake: You bitches didn't notice me come back?
Hikari: Nope. Sorry. Was too busy 'gossiping'
Haru: I can help with distractions, Sirius?

"Oh that's easy," Vale said. "I guess not for you right now but you'll get it. They're all pretty loyal to their type, even when it comes to food."

Gaius: Dark fae is the type. The specific fiend is the information that we're missing. But I can find it.
Mandisa: What? You're not going to offer to just eat the guy are you? Because that wouldn't go over well, I'd think.
Mireya: Oops?
Sirius: Yeah. We can light this place up. Or wherever we need to. Probably this place. Stuff going on at the school is going to have his attention. Maybe make it look like an attack but it's really just firework effects. I can get a message to students across, with Glitch's help, that we're pulling a prank and to keep it on the DL

"neat. That'll make it easier later." Nel said and let him help pick the things. But he wouldn't be paying for it today.

Jiyong: I'd like to offer to eat you.
Taeyang: Maybe we shouldn't have been invited....
Hikari: Damn, did the God of truth just offer head to my girl?
Drake: I am so glad I came back. Lolololol. Worth it.
Wolf: okay, this is serious though. I did mean specifically what he was. Sorry. I am distracted.
Nel: is Alex with you?
Wolf: yeah.
Nel: He's not naked so get your shit together, dad. Omg.
Wolf: fine, fine.
Jiyong: No but seriously, I can just eat this headmaster. After Mandi of course ^_~

Vale didn't mind. They all took turns anyway. Today was not his turn so he didn't fight it. He just helped her carry everything. He might be small but he could still balance pretty well.

Mandisa just frowned at her phone while Miri started laughing in a "I can't believe he just did that" sort of way.

Mandisa: I'm out.
Mireya: Geez, Ji! We're having a serious discussion here about rescuing a damsel. Now is really not the time, you pervy old thing.
Gaius: No one is eating anyone else. This is a delicate situation that has to be handled with care and respect, not force and violence.
Mireya: Dragons...Not so subtle.
Trent: Headmaster is a Brecara.

Nel was good at it too. So soon the table was full of food for everyone to help themselves too.

Nel: I agree with Gaius, but considering half of this group are clowns, we got no chance.
Drake: I resemble that remark.
Jiyong: I don't understand why she denies our obvious chemistry.
Taeyang: Perhaps because she's into girls.
Jiyong: chemistry doesn't lie.
Hikari: text her out of this group then! We are planning to save lives here!
Jiyong: I offered my help, you don't want it.

Mireya: We don't want the kind of help you're offering, no. Drake, do you know anything about the fiend that Trent listed? I am not so good with the dark fae.
Sirius: Do we have a game plan in the meantime? About how we handle Bryna and her group? Because I don't think I can be nice to them.
Vale: Ditto.

Drake: Anything for you, beautiful. Basically, they feed from our souls. So whatever he's doing to Bryna and her mum is making him stronger. They victims are generally very much a victim, if you know what I mean. Nothing is there fault. I've heard about Bryna, wasn't that a thing? Also, they're ugly. I mean, really really ugly.
Hikari: helpful.
Drake: that's all their is for now. I'll call Bobby.
Nel: you don't have too but she is required to get me on side to tip the scales so to speak. I've told her I'm not ditching you guys to do it, but I will go over and make peace with her and her bitch squad to ease her drama with daddio at home.
Wolf: be careful.
Nel: aren't I always?

Mireya: Oh! I remember which ones these are now. Soul Shrinkers. They create intolerance and meanness in the souls of others, provoking malicious gossip and setting people against each other.
Sirius: The sounds like everyone in Bryna's group, herself included.
Mireya: Yeah, but he shouldn't be able to affect her. She must just be putting on an act.
Vale: So those bitches are just bitches because of the headmaster's influence? Damn. I really enjoyed hating them...

Nel: I was hoping he had the princess under his spell a little bit. Maybe she's just lashing out in the wrong places. But I have to warn you...she doesn't trust any of you and plans to blame you all if something happens to her mother.
Glitch: right because it can't be her bitch ass mouth running causing problems. Are you sure that he isn't effecting her?
Drake: unfortunately he shouldn't be able too.
Glitch: lil bit a bitch then. But if you can tell me where the mother is, I can help get her out. Mandisa too. Because we don't need doors.

Mireya: I said he shouldn't be able to affect her soul and shrink it. He can most certainly put pressure on her to act like a bitch while in school if that's how he wants her to be. But it wouldn't be genuine where right now, with the ones he's messing with, they are genuinely like that in soul because of him.
Sirius: She can't blame us if we fix this for her. How are you planning on playing both sides?
Vale: Double agent style? That's pretty risky but you might have fun with it.
Mireya: Securing the mother should be our top priority. But once she's free, that's going to put Bryna at risk, right? He can't hurt her but that doesn't mean he can't find something that can't. And he might decide she's better off gone than able to lash out against him.

Nel: they're going to assume I'm spying on you guys for them. Is there any information I can pass on that doesn't cause issues? Also, if we can free her mother, then Wolf and I can protect her. Right?
Wolf: Yes. Between the two of us, we can easily take it down.
Nel: Trent, will you come too?
Drake: Mireya can you not give her a bubble of protection too?
Hikari: So if we distract him in here, some of us can whisk Bryna away and keep her safe while Glitch and Mandisa get the mother?

Vale: Oh we can definitely work on some gossip for you, girl. Especially with the dance coming up. That'll be easy peasy.
Trent: If I must.
Mireya: I could but I would be worried about hurting her with it. I've never actually interacted properly with the other half of the fairy court, you know? I'm not sure if the bubble would protect or harm her.
Sirius: Distracting and snatching them seem like it'll be easy. But taking him down and exposing him will be the hard part, right?
Mireya: That's why we need Braxton. He can contain and defeat him. It might not hurt to involve the Fairy Master either but I don't know him.

Drake: I do... He's engaged to my ex ^^;;;
Hikari: Moar drama.
Nel: what kinda gossip? And thank you Trent, fishes for you ♥️♥️
Wolf: do you always treat him like a domesticated house cat?
Nel: only to tease him.
Haru: so can you contact your ex and get the master of fairies, Drake?
Drake: I don't know that he'd do me a favour.
Jiyong: I have contacted Braxton for you. He will join this group.

Mireya: Uh...what?
Sirius: Damn, Drake.
Vale: That is hella awkward, man. Hikari, tell me that you have the hook up somehow in this because your brother is not getting a favor as an ex.
Mireya. Thank you, Ji. That's so much easier than going through the managers to arrange a meet. Goodness. Braxton?
Braxton: Yes?
Mireya: Your princess needs you.
Braxton: ...How dramatic of you.
Vale: So the gossip for your cover, Nel. Mandisa is going to the dance with Ginnie. Lesbians moments are so happening. Ha! Mireya is (maybe not now) taking the rebellious Master of Dragons, not a student and is older.

Drake: Because I have an ex? Are you fucking kidding me? You had better be. And she's not YOUR PRINCESS SHE IS MINE BRAXTON.
Hikari: I can hook you up right now. Let me add my sissy Nuala.
Nel: this is getting awkward. But that works. I'll be back later.

Nel stood up then and went over to Bryna. "Hi, so about yesterday. I'm sorry. Here's a cupcake."

Hikari: Nuala?

Mireya: I am still taking Drake to the dance, Vale! I know he has exes, gosh.
Vale: Drake has a thing for royalty. Hahaha.
Mireya: Shush. Technically I'm Syncere's princess, mmkay? I'm talking about Bryna, Braxton. Our school's headmaster has turned out to be a Dark Fae. He's manipulating her by holding her mother captive and we need you to deal with him. Obviously we're invested in helping her and her mother but we can't exactly take him down as easily as you can. Can we count you in?
Braxton: Of course. I cannot stand idle while one of my own is causing such trouble, especially not for my princess.
Nuala: Hey little, sis. What's up? Everything sounds so dramatic... o.o

Bryna looked up from where she'd been chatting with Heather and two of the boys at the table. There were about twelve people at her table and they all stopped and stared as Nel approached with food again. They all then watched Bryna to see what she was going to do.

Bryna for her part just looked at the cupcake and then at Nel with an raised eyebrow. "Is that so?" she asked.

"Bullshit she's sorry!" Heather burst out before Bryna could say anything else, if she was even going to. "I just watched her pay for their whole table's food and suddenly she's coming over here and apologizing. She's just up to something, again."

Bryna's lips thinned with displeasure. "Heather, if I wanted your opinion, I would have given it to you. Shut up." She then looked back at Nel. "You were saying?"
