LILA

where: the bar of the Hotel Obsidian who: Lila and open!

The hotel smelled like mothballs and old carpet.

Lila wrinkled her nose as she took another swig of her lukewarm beer. This place felt disjointed, outside of time, a liminal space.

She was kind of obsessed with it, already.

Someone sidled up to the bar and took a seat next to her. She barely acknowledged them, just reached forward to grab the bowl of bar peanuts.

“The beer here tastes like shit.” She warned them, throwing a nut up in the air and catching it with her mouth.

for  the  first  time  in  —  fuck,  who  even  knows  at  this  point,  five’s  not  wearing  his  academy  uniform.  well,  that’s  not  true.  he’s  wearing  it,  but  he  has  a  bathrobe  over  top  tied  at  the  waist  giving  the  illusion  that  he’s  not.  he’s  tired  of  this  game.  tired  of  every  attempt  they’ve  ever  made  to  fix  things  bringing  about  more   C  H  A  O  S  and  seeing  no  end  in  sight.  for  every  one  thing  they  fix?  it  seems  like  two  more  break.  he  has  half  a  mind  to  throw  the  towel  in  and  let  the  half  dozen  other  powered  strangers  who’d  showed  up  in  their  living  room  take  a  turn  at  the  whole  saving  the  fucking  planet  thing.  he  was  done.

( except  he  knows  he  isn’t.  one  way  or  another,  he  gets  sucked  back  into  the  family’s  drama  wether  he  likes  it  or  not.  )

today,  however,  he’s  refusing.  he’s  planning  on  getting  very  drunk,  ignoring  everyone  who  might  want  to  talk  strategy,  and  giving  his  nerves  a  bunch  needed  break.  he’d  fucking  earned  it,  hadn’t  he?  he  slides  into  the  seat  next  to  lila  silently,  elbows  pressing  down  against  the  cool  marble  of  the  bar-top.  he  should  probably  be  trying  to  kill  her,  given  their  history,  but  he’s  not  really  in  the  mood.  if  she  keeps  her  hands  to  herself?  he’ll  do  the  same.

“  ever  considered  that  maybe  it’s  just  your  taste  that’s  shit? ”

(The Umbrellas are gathered around a broken coffee pot) Five: So…who broke it? I’m not mad. I just want to know.

Victor: I did. I broke- Five: No, you didn’t. Diego? Diego: Don’t look at me. Look at Luther. Luther: What? I didn’t break it. Diego: Huh. That’s weird. How’d you even know it was broken?

Luther: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.

Diego: (leans in towards Luther) Suspicious.

Umbrella Ben: If it matters - probably not - but Klaus was the last one to use it.

Klaus: Liar! I don’t even drink that shit!

Umbrella Ben: Oh, really? Then what we’re you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Klaus: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles, everyone knows that, Ben!

Allison: Okay, okay! Let’s not fight! I broke it, let me pay for it, Five!

Five: No! Who broke it?!

Luther: Five…Lila’s been awfully quiet.

Lila: REALLY?

Luther: Yeah! Really.

Lila: Oh, my god!

(Everyone starts fighting except Five)

Five (to camera): I broke it. It burned my hand, so I punched it. I predict five minutes from now they’ll be at each other’s throats with war paint and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

constance.

       “i for one am incredibly excited to see my students,”  constance admits,  teeming with excitement and smiles over the edge of a porcelain tea cup,  dainty flower patterns aswirl on the sides.  “i have the perfect opening assignment.  two words:  group,  projects  —  isn’t it divine?”   //  @arcanasstarters​ 

“  nothing  screams  ‘  i  wish  you  the  worst ’  more  than  group  projects  first  thing  after  break. ”  ansem  replies  easily,  nose  scrunched  as  he  dumps  more  sugar  than  tea  into  his  own  cup.  then  comes  the  honey,  and  then  a  crumbled  up  biscotti  tops  off  the  egregious  concoction.  “  are  you  sure  you  like  your  students?  no  judgement...  i’m  happy  to  be  back,  but  i  also  would  have  been  just  as  happy  continuing  to  sleep  in  until  noon  and  catching  up  on  my  soaps. ”

( CHRIS WOOD, 30, HE/THEY ) class is in session for ANSEM WARBECK. their resume says they’re a WITCH and they’ve been teaching MENTAL MAGIC at the academy for FOUR YEARS. records show that they’re a HOUSE AQUIS alumni. we wish them good luck in the new school year.  |  c, 29, ast, she/her.

BIOGRAPHY

— * | ansem warbeck is the oldest child of ragnor and celena warbeck. he has a twin brother named arson and while they are identical, they couldn’t be more different. both ragnor and celena are influential members of the magical community and always prided themselves on having a stellar reputation. stellar isn’t quite so stellar though; they are morally gray and known for being pretty... questionable.  they never get into dark magic themselves, but their family has profited heavily from it over the years.  ( think … war profiteers, i guess.  they never get their hands dirty but they have plenty of blood money ).  arson is the dutiful son, the good son, and ansem’s always been the disappointment who couldn’t live up to their expectations. yet somehow, when his mother needs a ride to appointments, or wants to spend four hours on the phone complaining about the neighbours, it’s his door she’s knocking down. ( if you’ve seen arrested development? he’s very much the michael bluth of the family. )

ansem was never good at doing what he was told and rebelled against the behaviours his parents tried to ingrain in him. he never listened, always liked to do his own thing, and never bought into the whole ‘pureblood supremacy’ thing that they tried to drill into his head.  so what if they came from an old witch family? magic was magic. he figured if you could do it, you were just as good as anyone else.  ( his family disagreed. )  he and his brother both started arcanas together, though his brother was in flarion. did ansem purposely try to avoid taking the same classes as arson to avoid being compared? yes. was it entirely successful? eh.  his brother was naturally capable, came by things easily, and fear of never measuring up like he had in his own home made ansem veer off into the opposite direction.

     personality wise, ansem is sharp, sarcastic, and doesn’t have a high tolerance for people. the list of people he dislikes is longer than those he likes. he likes to have a good laugh ( sometimes at the expense of others ) and isn’t one to take on responsibility. ironic, given he’s now teaching at the school he used to go to. for someone as intelligent as he is, he does the least amount of work possible and does well but never really exceeds his own expectations. he’s incredibly lazy and can usually be found snacking or napping around the school. how did he become a housemaster, you might ask? he likes to think it started off as a punishment but became something he was... surprisingly good at? as much as he finds people annoying, he’s incredibly empathetic which makes him a decent teacher and mentor type figure.

shortly after graduation he worked as a for hire curse breaker.  if there was a hex you couldn’t undo, or a curse on your family name, he was the guy you called to fix it.  he was good too.  it was only after a curse backfired and nearly killed him that he got scared and backed out of it. the fear was greater than the love he had.  arcanas was safe, a reminder of good days (and far far away from his family) so he was happy to ya yeet out of the real world.  less than a year after graduation, he was enrolled at a magical college and eventually became a mental magic teacher where he has been teaching for four years.

though a stable career he might have, a stable love life he does not. he met his wife aria when they were both students; they started as friends, two people who had feelings but weren’t quite sure when or how they’d explore them. they were only technically together for 3 months by the time graduation rolled around and it was his own failures, an inability to commit, that saw them breaking up. by the time his graduation rolled around two years later they were seeing each other again — one drunk hook-up leading to another, and another, and then another — and they did long distance shortly after he graduated and started curse breaking. he was away a lot, never in one place for very long, so it was difficult... but he knew that she was the one. a near death experience didn’t prompt a proposal... it simply sped up the timeline. they were married shortly after, and things were incredible for 2 years. what happened after that, you might ask? great question. a big fight splintered things, leaving them separated and barely speaking. over the next few years they get back together, break up, get back together, and break up again, so many times it probably makes the people who know them well’s head spin. right now they’re still off, technically, because they agreed after the last split that if they get back together again? it’s the last hurrah. the last try, before they call it quits for good. they’re very much soulmates as far as ansem is considered but getting out of their own heads, or their own way, hasn’t exactly been the easiest.

he’s been teaching mental magic at arcanas academy for four years, so connections can be assumed with other staff members and students !! he’s also been the housemaster for aquis, who he refers to as his water demons, so that’s opportunities for connections too! there’s also a 99% chance he calls all of his students by pokemon names. sorry not sorry. his default reaction to most things is panic, so, uh, be prepared for a little meltdown for flavor before he tries to help you with any of life’s greatest problems.

students  with  an  aptitude  for  mental  magic  that  he  provides  additional  /  advanced  work  for  to  challenge  them.  (0/2).

students  who  need  extra  help  in  one  or  more  of  the  aspects  of  his  curriculum.  this  would  include  after  hours  help,  extra  assignments,  or  one  on  one  attention  if  they  were  struggling  with  concepts  (0/4)

students  that  give  him  a  hard  time  in  class  for  one  reason  or  another.  could  be  people  who  sleep  in  class,  talk  back,  distract  others,  etc.  (0/??).

the  unholy  trinity:  fellow  teachers  who  like  to  get  together  and  be  chaotic,  gossip about  their  students,  and  forget  they’re  not  seventeen  anymore  bc  they’re  fucking  idiots  who  like  to  troll  (0/2).

fellow  teachers  who  like  to  get  together  and  drink  wine  after  stressful  days,  or  just  when  they  feel  like  it  tbh.  (0/???)  

a  rival/enemy  from  when  he  was  @  arcanas  who  now  also  works  at  arcanas.  he  can’t  remember  why  they  don’t  like  each  other  but  he’s  dedicated  to  the  feud.  it’s  petty,  he  knows, but  he  sucks  at  admitting  he’s  wrong.  (0/1)

childhood  friend.  fellow  witches  who  would  have  hung  around  people  who  were  haughty  and  thought  they  were  better  than  everyone  else.  ansem’s  parents  thought  they  were  hot  shit  so  maybe  their  parents  felt  the  same.  they  both  rebelled  against  what  their  parents  wanted  for  them  and  it  bonded  them.  (0/1)

partner  in  crime.  (30 years old)  this  person  was  very  different  from  ansem.  different  species,  a  little  more  serious,  the  kind  of  person  you  wouldn’t  expect  to  be  friends  with  him.  they’re  probably  the  only  reason  ansem  even  passed  his  exams,  forced  to  study,  and  he  forced  this  friend  to  actually  have  fun  and  live  a  little.  they’re  still  close  but  maybe  fell  out  of  touch  over  the  years.  this  person  would  be  new  to  arcanas  as  a  staff  member,  or  teacher,  but  would  be  an  alumnus  preferably  from  house  aquis  but  could  be  any.
