Dun dun dun! Back at Scholomance, ladies and gents. This time with the Heiress Bistre Revenant!
Flamingoes at the ready~
Begin!
Alright, so I have to write one of these novel thingies for the Bonus that Mauricette chose for our family. And I just got to college so you'll have to bear with my writing skills. So yes. First Year at college.
Got my moms Throne o Claws and the Book of Shadows.
And I brought the triplet remains. They're apart of my term assignment for my first year here.
Professor Odious gives out wicked hard first year assignments. I have to master my craft before I turn into a Sophomore or she'll kick me out of college!
But it's distracting being around so many boys that aren't related to me.
This guy named Dominic especially caught my eye. He's so cute!
And he's super easy to talk to. He didn't even mind my green skin! I'm sure there were prettier girls around to talk to, but he was just so nice to me.
Yeah, I know. He's her first baby daddy from the last thread. I can't help it. He really is so cute! Stop looking at me!
Jim Pedersons Ghost came out the very first night I was at school.
He scared one.
Two.
Dominic.
Dominic again.
Five haunts while-
I was downstairs studying. Green sparklies! Woo!
I think he's mad or something.
Six.
Seven.
Eight times in one night. I was amazed no one died!
By morning I was exhausted. I needed a break from that blasted book. I also needed to have some fun. And by fun I mean-
Using my new powers to influence this person- who I hate. I mean really hate. And I don't know why. Anyway, I influenced her to clean.
And for whatever reason- maybe we were enemies in a past life- I derived much satisfaction from watching her do it.
While I played handsy with Dominic.
And I was starting to get the impression that he liked me back. SO COOOL!
I'm deriving so much joy from this.
Ksksksksks.
Hahah ahahahah ahah!
Mwah ha aha ha ha!
Anyways, back to business. I need some of the ashes from the triplets as a reagent.
And must rush to the roof before night falls.
"My dear young boy, everyone dies. But you, I think, I'll get to RISE!"
Jim, you naughty boy. No more scaring my dorm mates. Their lives are fragil.
Ahem! "GET UP LAZY BONES!"
Holy shit, it actually worked!
Ahem. "So I found out I don't even have to rhyme! Blake Pederson! Now it's your time!" Oh that rhymed.
I am rocking this assignment.
See, Death?! Zombies.
Off my new creations went, to terrorize Scholomance. And I- Oh wait! I need proof that I raised them from the dead for my assignment! Come back!
Talin McAuley came back as one of my room mates. That's... weird. But lucky. I have proof that I made a zombie!
True to college form, a mob of bored students hang out outside with homework and hackie sacks. I don't know whether I should be pissed I'm living a cliche or aroused to have so many guys around.
Obviously the latter.
I need to vent my frustrations and/or celebrate for passing my freshman assignment with flying colors.
So I asked Dominic on a date.
It ended well. This is my first kiss. The kiss that ended the date.
After that I was hooked on the kid. I thought about him non-stop. When I should have been paying attention to school.
Meanwehile Audrey Leelaporn was still mopping up the roof.
So Omen called and told me that Mauricette commissioned a new building in Sepulcher. A Tailoring Boutique! Yay, we didn't have to make our own clothes anymore! And by 'we' I mean Nightshade.
Thank Odious, because having to wear your moms old witch clothes is totally embarrassing!
You mean 'Thank Mauricette', DON'T YOU!?
Ahh yus. Much better.
That's what I wear!
This new Boutique is awesome! They have fish in the bathroom!
Anyways, time to get back to the grind. I need to find my professor and figure out what next years assignment is!
Don't worry, baby, I'm not a vampire anymore. I just look so hot and I wanted to advantage of the moment.
In the bathroom... >_>
Alright, see yuh! Yeah I see you checking me out as I leave.
Gosh, she's taking a long time, isn't she?
I been given my Sophomore assignment: Infiltrate the Deathknell Secret Society.
Wait, as a Sophomore?! Womans gotta be kidding! Also preform xylophone trickshot.
Nice, an easy one.
Two days later. >_<
I guess if I'm going to start making friends I should start with my dad.
So Diminic and I went on another date.
I really should be focusing on people who aren't my boyfriend, but he's so darn alluring.
We're together, like, all the time.
I just dont't know what irks me about this chick, but she makes me so angry!
What? I'm wearing your outfit? Augh! Man, now I'm going to have to change!
Alright, new outfit! Wooo!
We really should be more careful about our apparel, she and my mom and I already look too much alike.
So hi, I'm your daughter, Bistre. I hear you're ageless. That's cool. My mom is too, now.
I could tell he wasn't all that interested in anything I had to say. So I whipped out my secret weapon.
Folk-singing! No one can resist!
And we played a little water balloons. And if you're paying attention, it was winter when I got here, and now it's spring. The snow fall has been super eratic.
But it's finally off the ground and I can get to planting some eggplants! I'm only one badge away from gold. I can do it!
It was time to touch in with Professor Lew.
Her field of teaching isn't limited to Necromancy, which was my mothers degree, but a whole plethora of subjects. She's one talened lady.
I was considering robotics for a time, but that just didn't coincide with the theme of Mauricette's OWBC.
I know my major has to relate somehow to witches and death and junk, but for now I'm still undeclared, still putting my feelers out there into the void of darkness, seeing what my options are.
Professor Gypsy Lew could totally relate. How do you think she got to be an expert in so many fields, she asked. Because she was excited about all of them!
Before the first trimester was over I got my gold badge in gardening! I really need to stop dicking around and start making Deathknell contacts.
Dominic came back to the dorms after class in a terrible mood. I guess he had a bad day in class. When I tried to cheer him up he snapped at me.
It left me reeling.
I got super upset.
One of the spirit llamas fetched a campus psychiatrist.
He assessed me.
Hypnotized me.
And took off. I successfully fooled the old man into thinking I was sane!
To calm myself down, I got a new canvas from the art supply shop and started a new painting.
Later on, Dominic apologized for treated me badly. I was soooo happy.
We played pillow fight on the roof top.
I could so easily push him off the roof right now for yelling at me. I am an evil witch, after all. And I will need some death tolls of my own.
But we had sex in a rickety old bed on the roof instead.
Yeah rooftop make-up sex!
And the painting turned out pretty well! Not my usual style, but it sold.
Anyways, for reals. It's time to make some Deathknell contacts.
What do you know, it's Naenae. My dads new grilfriend. This will take some finesse.
I don't have much finesse.
What I have is guile. I just waited for the next society member to find his way to the Death Cafe.
Tsh, yeah right, liek that's happening.
He, however, is a total hotty. Hello, Todd Midlock. Coolest last name ever! Cept mine of course.
Falling into the whole cliche, we played hack together.
When I got home I got a mysterious black letter in the mail.
'To Bistre Revenant,
The moon will find you in the night,
Listen for the call of the Laganphylis,
-The Deathknell Coterie
I had no idea what it meant, but I was super exited!
I ran into Todd Midlock at the cafe again, and told him all about it.
Wow. Talin McAuley's a member of the Deathknell Coterie. Did not see that coming.
I took the afternoon off from studying and enjoyed the world around me.
I even unearthed some cool old maps!
But when the moon howled in the night.
And I heard the call of the Lanagaphylis, whatever that meant.
I was arrested!
Guh! Dominic is going to be so disappointed in me.
Except I was brought to the House of Deathknell!
Holy shit, this place is intimidating.
And I donned the uniform of the Death Guard.
Mwahahahahaha! Success! And I'm still a Sophomore!
Then I was attacked by bees.
Why even is that a thing!?
So even though I got into the Coterie.
I missed the final exam because I couldn't get OUT of the Coterie.
My grade for the whole year dropped to a C+!
This place is not worth staying at. I mean, sure. it's pretty.
But I need to leave.
Ahhh, good to be home. And I'm a Junior now!
This year one of my professors is Professor Quinten. He really pressed me to pick a major now that I was a Junior.
Still, the guy was super cool and kind of cute for an old geek.
With the funds I recieved from making the deans list every semester- except for the last one- I installed a little garden area in the nook of the Dormitory for the students to enjoy. Total brown nose move, I know, but I need to develop some garden club rep, stat.
Yop, you guessed it. My Junior year assignment is to get into the garden club. Calling Professor Zarubin!
And with a brief dose of confidence.
I was ready to meet this bitch.
"Sooo, you think you have what it takes to be a part of the Garden Club, eh? We'll just see about that."
"Yeah, Toby? Matthew? Get over here to the Tirisfal Glades Dorm, there's a witch here who thinks she's got what it takes."
"Let's get this over with quickly, I got a date with Mauricette in an hour."
Who said that?!
"Rrrrm, yes, it's obvious these flowers were recently planted."
"That's too much water, Witch."
Augh, fine. I'll just sit here then.
"The pond is overdoing it a little."
"This is like the cheapest tree in the catelog."
It's a miracle I got in. I think it was a pity lay, though. I clearly need to improve my garden. But that's all the funds I had at the mo. Regardless of this, I did PASS my Junior assignment by getting into the club!
And I decided on my major at last.
Pyromancy
Hi. That's quite the expression you have there. What's going on?
Oh. That's going on.
Initiate Pyromancer in the house, after all. Better get used to it, Chef Jayapalan.
While practicing my new Major, I caught this cow making a move on Dominic!
And then the cow slapped me! What exactly the fock?!
Dominic tried explaining that the cow made a move on him but he rebuffed it. I was in such a reck I didn't even hear him.
Also I didn't exactly catch what happened. but Bistre has the 'He Cheated on Me' Memory, so I'm just playing along.
When the cow came back for me Dominic stepped in.
And totally told that bitch off. Which made me feel a little better.
We were able to talk things out after that.
Thank Maxis it's summer and Bistres a pop sim now. Otherwise it would have taken ages for their relationship to get back into the positives. Oh. so yeah. Bistre rolled Pop after completing her Sophomore year.
I trapped that wicked cow in the pool hall. Dominic and I have been through too much now for me to kill him. But I do need that death toll. And I really want to see the cows ghost after what she did to me.
Then I remembered that the deaths have to be unique and my mother already killed someone by starvation-... where did that other cow come from?!
Which means I'll have to find a new way to kill the cow. You're free for now.
Too bad they can't die by cheerleader.
Later I was visited by a forest dweller. I had topped my interest in Nature and she was giving me a plaque. I earned a lot of aspiration finally earnign that thing. It's been on my want panel since my first day in college!
So whats my Senior Year assignment, Mauricette?
Well, lets see, you knocked out so many of the tasks I had planned for you already. Topped Gardening, raised the dead, met your baby daddies, joined the garden club, got into the secret society, wrote a novel, did the xylophone trick. I'm having a hard time thinking of something for your grand finale. It's going to have to be amazing!
You could stop being such a total dork for that one kid.
Not going to happen.
Alright, might as well call that Zarubin woman over again and give your garden anotehr go.
Let's see if she likes my autumn theme this time.
And the pond has fish now!
"Good luck, my beloved"
Daw, my boyfriend's the best.
Hello again, lets get this over with.
"Calling in the boys."
"Oh, you have a tree this time."
"Your garden is small, but well kept. You could use some landscaping, as well."
What does that even mean!? I had a whole lemon tree this time!
No, those aren't bubbles in the fountain! No one put soap in it! Blargh! Professor Zarubin said now that I'm a Garden Club Member they're really expecting more of me. It's the season before winter. I can't bring her over in the winter. Ima cry. T3T
So what now?
I painted a self portrait.
Read up on anger management.
Physiology.
Couples Counseling.
I was aimless that last year at college. Spent most of my time talking to my eggplants.
So I figured it was time to see someone about it.
Coming in hot!
"So, you came sniveling to the old bitty looking for something evil to do, eh? I ain't your mam!"
But you are my professor...
"But you need to decide for yourself what drives you! You're almost a master of the dark arts! An adult one could say. You need to figure out what your purpose is. Who you want to be and how you want others to view you. You need to make your own way. And that means giving yourself your own challenges."
Ahhh, I getcha! Make my own way, huh? Thank you old wise one!
"Piss off, kid."
Clearly I needed to think more about myself and my goals and aspirations. And decide what my own Senior Assignment was.
So I went to the top of the most evil building and considered myself.
Scale stance. What would a Pyromancer have to contribute to the ways of evil?
It's too easy to just go around setting fires to places. I'd just be a common arsenist. I need something big. Something that will make me go down in history. Burning down my dormitory? Naaah. Anyway, after much consideration I think I had it.
First I would check which of the reagents I'd need. Dragon scales, of course. Lots of mystic dust. Lots of Vipers Essence.
And I got to concocting. A whole cauldrons worth of the diabolical chemicals. Maybe two!
Yeeeess, it's coming along nicely.
I'd need better formal wear if I was going to pull this off.
That's better. Now what to do with my hair?
Bahahaha, not blonde.
Red. Yes, red. That looks perfect.
And when it was time. I summoned all my powers.
What I was about to do took a lot of concentration. My body surged with an awesome power.
The words had to be perfect. The spell was ten times more difficult than raising the dead.
"Dragons Breath-
Lift Me Higher
Turn Me Into
A Beast of Fire!"
As I orated the words my body took on the form of the Dragons Breath. I was engulfed in flame!
And successfully turned myself into a dragon! I could feel the burning within my very being and I had to let it out!
Before I knew it Undercity was immolated!
"What do you think of your daughter now, Daddy?"
After I had satiated the burning within my soul I rifted my being into my dorm room.
And found a not very original place to hide my gown, face mask and wig.
I had done it. I had laid waste to the UnderCity. Not intentionally of course. But this risky move would go down in history. I would be a legend.
When Mauricette called reporting this great atrocity I made like I had no idea what had happened.
Apparently in my frenzy I set fire to Undercity's Industrial district. The district with all the oil and gasoline. It was a disaster of epic proportion. And reports came in that the district would be burning for days, maybe weeks.
I was ecstatic!
But seriously, she warned, as a student in Pyromancy, it'd best to hang low for a while.
Eff that, I said, I'm going out to celebrate!
It had been absolute ages since I had salmon.
I said hang low, wtf do you think that means?! No salmon for you.
I hope you're enjoying my salmon, jerk!
I am.
Dude, what is your problem? I'm hungry! And I deserved that after what I did to-
Ah ha! I knew it was you! Serves me right for not coming up with a senior assignment for you to do, you go and lay waste to my favorite city!
But dang, girl. That's pretty impressive. Way to go!
Thanks! Man it was so freaking awesome! But really hard to do.
Time for my graduation party! Yay!
Todd Midlock was invited.
We got down.
And brown-noser me had to be that one guy who invited a proffesor. He's cool, though!
"I don't approve of this kind of behavior."
Alright, I'll admit, Todd was a bit more fun.
But Professor Quinten had a few surprises in him, too.
He could totally boogy.
I might have pushed him over a couple times.
I'm not as graceful. Man, that spirit llama is freaking me out.
Anyways, itws good to have so many friends around, but this gal's gotta haed out.
One more cup for the road.
And time for sparkles!
Look at that. My moms old witch clothes. How new and different.
So yeah, that's my story. And novel as it turns out. In stores now.
