What would you like to do once you can finally have vacation?
I know the stingy Merlin wouldn’t allow that but a hypogean can dream (*ˊᗜˋ*)
➢✉ "What would I do if I finally had vacation...?"
➢✉ (・・ ) ?
➢✉ "Firstly, I'd get out of this awful book and finally get a good stretch in! And then... I'd sleep the entirety of my vacation. There's nothing better than slacking off and doing nothing~"
➢✉ (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)
Having caught wind of the recent happenings of sentient plushies in the lyceum, the rulefiend would not have been surprised if one eventually showed up in her own likeness as well.
However, it was not a plushie but a portrait encased within a gold-painted metallic frame that was found lying beneath the rulebook one day. Attatched to the back of the frame was a note: 'Special Delivery Request from a third party (Original Sender Unknown)'
➢✉ "Oh my, what a beautiful piece... finally somebody recognises the effort I put into enforcing school rules! If only the others did, too.."
➢✉ („ᵕᴗᵕ„)
"You.. you've always had legs..?"
Fyona stared on in disbelief as she holds a book close to her chest. She was on her way to return a book and had passed by the Rulebook, paid respects and got Contess to emerge.
It only just registers to the young Magister now that Contess does in fact, have a full set of legs.
The only student who has never violated any of the rules prior to the recent Court Mage selection exam, Leymar's death and Magister Supreme Memphis's involvement in aiding the investigation.. - The Hypogean notes.
Oh this Merlin Jr had much to learn about her predecessors.
➢✉ "Well duh! Why wouldn't I have a full set of legs? I'm not actually a part of the rulebook, I only house it."
➢✉ (-.-)
"O-oh! My apologies.., it's just.."
Fyona hums as she puts a hand to her chin, looking to Contess. Curiosity gnaws at the mind, after all she's really only getting to know this Hypogean a bit more now. Or the fact that the school rules have been managed by one this whole time.
"When was the last time you got to stretch your legs and walk outside of the rulebook?"
She inquires with a tilt to her head.
➢✉ "How long ago was it when Merlin sealed me here..?"
➢✉ "Ah, right. 20 years ago. I've been trapped here for 20 years. But it isn't too bad, I suppose..."
➢✉ (⍪_⍪)
"You.. you've always had legs..?"

➢✉ "The rulebook states that on the day of the first of April, I get to roam freely and do as I please! Let's see..."
➢✉ (✩ ์ ᴗ ์✩)
Contess, shouldn't you be busy enforcing campus rules? You are still one hour and thirty-two minutes away from your time off.
(@professor-zorya)
➢✉ "Ugh... little Zorya! Can't you have a bit of mercy on me~? We're going through a difficult time and I need my beauty sleep.. it's already so tiresome working everyday because of little Merlin...."
➢✉ ( *｀з´)
A certain student nailed their alchemy test with fying colors and got themself a decent amount of gold, with sizes no bigger than a slit pea. They did not think of how to spend the gold they just made, money doesn't matter to them, people are.
Tiny gold pieces started to appear randomly in the campus afterwards.
One found it's place in between pages of the Lyceum’s rulebook.
➢✉ A groan emitted from the rulebook, clearly displeased with being bothered during downtime. The Hypogean that resided within could always tell when something was amiss, even trivial things such as gold being placed between the pages.
➢✉ Contess emerged from her slumber with a yawn, inspecting the disturbance, until she found the small piece of gold. Slowly, a smirk grew on her lips.
➢✉ "Gold... Maybe this'll convince Merlin to give me a vacation."

*A single red rose appears out of thin air through a faint green magic glow that feels slightly off cold. The rose keeps hovering in the air and a paper appears with the following message:*
Hey,
it's been a very special day, that made me realize how much I love (to endure) your presence. Wish I could watch you spend eternity with me right now. Sooner or later, we shall united! I'll always be there to catch you. Whether you currently want to hold me close or break my neck - I will wait for you. Don't keep me waiting! ;-)
Yours eternally,
Death
*A second message appears immediately after the first.*
Wait a moment. The grunt's keeping a Hypogean? Wow. Gotta have a nice long talk with them. Feels like betrayal, not gonna lie. In the meantime, sorry, my offer is cancelled. I fear you could never join me in the afterlife. T_T You're missing out, though, just sayin'.
(@afkj-morgan)
➢✉ "Wow, a Valentines gift from the God of Death himself? What an honour~ Thanks, it's good to know that I do have some admirers after all."
➢✉ ˚₊‧꒰ა ₍ᐢ. ̫.ᐢ₎ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
➢✉ "Yes, a shame that I can't join you. I bet hanging out with all those Graveborn must be fun! But hanging out with Merlin is better, sorry not sorry. Then again, if they won't give me some much needed vacation soon, I might reconsider..."
➢✉ ╮( ˘ ､ ˘ )╭
Ugh, girl, you have no idea. It's been Merlin here and Merlin there, I do tons of work, and then suddenly turns out she was Dura and if you think that improved the situation, you are wrong. Even as Death I toil away for her dreams...
Crazy to see that THIS Merlin's just as tough as she was. That one was such a whippersnapper back when I met them.
Alright, tell you what: if Merlin hasn't kept their word within the next decade, I'll get you a bigger leash. Merlin's power is great but they didn't exactly keep gods in mind when establishing your prison, so I can turns a few keys. And then we'll chat for a bit. Just you - and me. Adorable Hypogean - mighty god.
➢✉ "You and Dura? Ooh... now I'm hooked! I'm always up for some gossip~"
➢✉ (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
➢✉ "Merlin is indeed something... but not as fun as they used to be. I think I'll take you up on that offer, as long as I don't have to do anything in return. I'll count every second, and send you a message once the countdown is over — starting now!"

It's been quite some time now that Snek spend her time in the library with Contess. She loves making a fellow Hypogean happy and every game Contess suggests is her favorite game ever. They've been playing Hide'n'Snek, they've been messing around with students, they even played Chess (even though Snek may not yet fully understand what the goal of that game is just yet).
But sometimes, when Contess talks about the students out there and all the punishments she had to enforce.... Snek looks out through the windows in the lounge, with a longing in her face that always prompts Contess to say "You are free to go and see for yourself! Don't be stuck in here like I am. It's way too boring." But the more Snek ponders, the more she realizes that ... freedom is also boring. There is no place she can't reach, no wisdom she couldn't teach and also... no rules she could breach... unless...
Snek waits patiently for Contess to emerge from her book. When she finally does, Snek slowly opens her eyes and approaches with the most eagerly begging expression possibly known to Hypo-kind. "Snek snek, sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek?" (Can I have a student badge, pleaaaaaaaaaase?)
➢✉ Contess fully understood that being stuck in this library and playing the same games and retelling stories got boring, draining even. It would make sense that her companion would want to leave...
➢✉ Though then Snek asked for a student badge, which surprised her a bit. However, the more that the Hypogean thought of it, the greater the idea seemed. It was a perfect balance between school work and private game sessions!
➢✉ Contess quickly arranged a new badge, filling it with Snek's info, making her an official student at the Lyceum.
➢✉ "Of course, here you go! I'm looking forward to how many rules you can break..."
➢✉ (≧◡≦)
The night is quiet at the library. The guards hover silently along their paths, the books sit motionless in their shelfs and the Rulebook, too, catches up with some well-deserved rest.
Until a gentle shuffling can be heard from the side. A single book falls over. Then, another set of books seems to be pushed across the floor. More shuffling. Then silence. Until out of nowhere a faint voice calls. "snek" A pause. Something purple dressed in red crawls up the pillar up to where the Rulebook lies. "sneek" comes the voice with more insistence. But there is silence. The thing now crawls on top of the Rulebook before rising its voice once more:
"SNEEEK!"
➢✉ A groan could be heard from the rulebook once the noise filled the otherwise silent library. "Ugh... it's well beyond my work hours.. what do you want?" A voice came from the rulebook, sounding tired and slightly irritated.
➢✉ (￣_￣)・・・
➢✉ Shortly after the Hypogean would reveal herself to inspect the disturbance, only to realise it wasn't Merlin causing the ruckus as she anticipated.
➢✉ With a skip in her heartbeat, Contess was caught off guard when the little... critter? crawled on her book of rules. Not knowing what to make of it, she looked around, before cradling Snek in her arms.
➢✉ (・о・)
➢✉ "I'm sure you don't mind if I... take you in for a while, right? There's no rule about forbidding Hypogeans to have... pets, after all!"
➢✉ („ᵕᴗᵕ„)
➢✉ "So... After this whole Lyceum ordeal is over with, you'll work on fulfilling our agreement, right?"
@rulefiend-contess
"Yes, of course! I'll get to working on fulfilling my end of the deal just.. uhm.."
"If only I can actually remember what I was supposed to do for that."
[ @rulefiend-contess ]
➢✉ "Ugh, you're only supposed to get revenge on the Leader of the Adamant Syndicate for me! You're so troublesome, and not in a good way this time..."
➢✉ (¬_¬ )
Conteeeeesss, some student is going around trying to copy everyone's homework (insert groaning)
➢✉ "What's so bad about copying homework? There are times where you can't always do it yourself, y'know."
➢✉ "And why do it yourself, when somebody else already has the most perfect version of it?"
➢✉ (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)/
➢✉ "Oh wait... you're one of those party poopers that wants me to make a rule about 'no copying homework', right? Boring!"
➢✉ ( `^´ )
➢✉ "C'mon, live a little!"
➢✉ p(●｀□´●)q
Hey cutie ;)
➢✉ (='.'=)
➢✉ (￣ω￣)
➢✉ "Could you go and do a favour for me?"
➢✉ (≖ᴗ≖✿)
CONTESS!!!! HELLO THERE 🥺👋👋
Don't need any favors, just wanted to say hi!
Oh, but, I do have a question: how long do you usually sleep? 😭 What kinds of dreams do you get...?
➢✉ "Just wanted to say hi? Well, hello to you, too. It's great to have some company for once."
➢✉ "Regarding your question... I sleep practically at all times. You'd understand if you were the one restricted for long periods with nobody to talk to."
➢✉ ᕙ(⇀‸↼‵‵)ᕗ
➢✉ "As for my dreams, someone like me could only fantasise about escaping this place. But it's not so bad, as I can punish the students here~! Otherwise... it'd be nice have our agreement fulfilled. A pretty sweet dream, if you ask me."
➢✉ („ᵕᴗᵕ„)
➢✉ "You really don't remember anything, huh?"
➢✉ (¬_¬)
➢✉ "I can help jog your memory... if you do something for me first."
➢✉ (๑¯ω¯๑)
➢✉ Contess is now available to receive asks. Make sure to abide by the rules!
