遊城 明日香 (Yuuki Asuka) nee 天上院 明日香 (Tenjouin Asuka)

*Yoko walks towards it too and cautiously puts her hand on the door handle.*

Alright.

Be ready for anything.

*Bracing herself, she quietly and slowly opens the door a crack.*

From:

::You find an anatomical model with a bust of Beethoven for a head playing a haunting melody, befitting for the coronation of a witch-queen or a demon.

The room itself, outside of where you two are and the model and the piano, feels like you can barely grasp it exists, the dimensions feel wrong, like the room is infinitesimally smaller but millions of time larger than you know it should be::

From:

*Yoko carefully opens the door more, as quietly as she can, and tries to glance over the rest of the room for the missing students, trying to ignore the weird warped feeling of this whole area and without catching the models attention.*

From:

::You can hear the moans of what you think are students, but the room stretches too far, as if it surpasses the horizon...:

From:

*Yoko quietly backs up for a moment and looks over to Asuka, keeping her voice low.*

I may hear the students in there, but I can't quite tell.

I think we're going to have to confront our mysterious 'friend' about this.

From:

... of course.

::Readying her disk.::

From:

Alright. I'll head in first.

*Yoko takes a deep breath, before she pushes the door open fully and walks in, letting her presence be known and addressing the strange entity in front of her.*

Alright. I think we need to have a little talk.

From:

::The entity pauses playing.::

Of course, Mrs. Sakaki.

May I take a moment to put on my face?

From:

::What.::

Aren't you wearing. Your. Face?

From:

::The entity chuckles with the voice of an older man and younger woman.::

I mean in the same sense, as I understand it, the child-bearing members of your species do.

From:

*Yoko raises an eyebrow, but she gives it a small nod.*

Alright. You can take a moment to do that, if you wish.

From:

::It takes off the Beethoven head, before motioning its hands, as pieces of armor float of the... seemingly endless horizon of this room.::

::They click together, forming a golden horned sorcerer with four ruby eyes, with a purple cape, and white gloves.::

This is not my true form, but a visage I have become accustomed to, Mrs. Sakaki and Mrs. Yuki.

::He snaps the gloves on, fully.::

From:

Eldlich the Golden Lord!?

::Stepping back in alarm.::

From:

*Yoko looks over at Asuka, noting her reaction.*

Alright. I'm guessing this isn't a good development.

From:

::Whispering slowly.::

Eldlich the Golden Lord is a Level 10 Zombie Monster, it was in vogue a couple years back and just recently got support.

From:

Okay. So a pretty strong guy, huh.

*Yoko looks back at Eldlich the Golden Lord.*

So, why exactly are you here at this school?

From:

Science, miladys.

From:

I see.

What kind of science, may I ask?

From:

Biology.

From:

Biology...?

From:

Biology. Namely I wish to understand how the human body works.

From:

*Yoko crosses her arms.*

And exactly how are you doing that?

From:

Studying and dissecting humans. No worries, though, I plan to put them back together properly once I understand how they work.

::Says this with genuinely well intended attitude, in the voice of a young woman (almost doll-like), a man in the prime of his life, and a wheezing old man.::

From:

::Stares dumbfoundead.::

That...
