《Behavioural Tutor》23 // Déjà Vu
Advertisement
Tommy groggily opened his eyes. Jeez - this room was bright! Wait: where was he? The last thing he remembered was...
HE HAD A PANICK ATTACK IN FRONT OF TECHNO!?!?
Oh this was bad. Very very bad. Tommy was quick to sit up, and make his way to the exit of what he assumed to be a sick room. Tommy himself had never been in one personally, but he'd sent more people than he'd like to admit there.
As soon as Tommy opened the door, he was engulfed in a hug from behind. Tommy flinched, but was quick to realise that was just Techno. The blonde allowed himself to relax into the hug, letting Techno know he was okay with this.
Tommy didn't know that Techno hated hugs. Tommy didn't know that this was the first and last hug for quite some time he'd get from Techno. One day, he'd realise what a momentous occasion this was. Today was not that day, because Tommy was soon wriggling his way out of Techno's clutches.
"Okay Pinkie! That's enough. Get off of me. I'm a big man; I don't need your sympathy!" Techno chuckled and let go of the wriggling boy.
"Tommy, what happened there? You don't need to tell me now, but I do need to know. Wilbur can't get away with this!"
Techno knew? No - there was not way. "But he didn-" Tommy tired to interject, but Techno wasn't done.
"I don't care what you say Tommy! He's making it up and I know it. Either you tell me what's wrong, or I'll figure it out on my own."
"Techno..." there were tears in Tommy's eyes, "I- Wilbur's not lying. I did hit him unconscious."
"Well there was probably a reason for that. Tommy tell me what happened." Techno heard some incoherent mumbling (coming from Tommy) along the lines of 'not believing him'. "Dude - I just said tell me what happened. Why would I be asking you that if I wouldn't believe you. You're cool, and I like you, so I'll be here for you. Even when no one else is. Now tell me what happened before I force an explanation out of you."

Tommy sighed. There was no way h was getting out of this one, was he? There were a few moments of silence in which Tommy was debating whether it would be worth telling Techno, but he came to the conclusion that he had nothing left to loose. Here goes nothing.
Tommy took a deep breath, and told Techno everything. Well, almost everything. He decided to leave our the part about his home, and why he got in the fight earlier with Wilbur. So, not quite everything. Barely anything. But, Tommy told it in a way that would satisfy Techno enough to forget that Tommy was missing some very key information out of that explanation.
By the time he had finished, Techno sat there in silence. Oh he was going to kill Wilbur. Blood for the Blood God.
Techno was about to offer some consolidating words, but Nurse Niki entered the room, "Hello Tommy, I'm glad you're feeling better! I have a few people waiting next door for you, whenever you're ready."
Techno decided this was his queue to leave. He saluted to Tommy, before exiting the room, leaving Tommy alone with Niki.
"Do you want to follow me?" Tommy sighed, before following Niki. He didn't like the sound of this, and rightfully so.
As soon as the young boy entered the room, all eyes were on him. Inside the room, there was Ranboo, Bad and Phil. Tommy did not like this group at all, so he did the most mature thing he could think of.
He stuck his tongue out, and raised his hand into an 'L' shape above his head.
"Please can you just behave for once!?" Ranboo pinched the bridge of his nose. He took a shaky breath before continuing. "Tommy, the stunt you've just pulled with Wilbur is unacceptable. You should be ashamed. " Ranboo raised his voice when he realised Tommy wasn't listening. "Please Tommy - we are only trying to help, so I would really appreciate it if you would just cooperate."

Tommy just sat there, raising one eyebrow, with an unimpressed look on his face."I'm getting a sense of fucking déjà vu."
"LANGUAGE!!" Interrupted Bad. He stood in the door way, with his arms folded. He was once again wearing all black with a couple of red parts here and there. Tommy just stared at him... this guys was supposed to be on his side!
"ENGLISH!!" Tommy screeched at boy who seemed unfazed at Tommy's response; almost as if he had been expecting it. Tommy clenched his fists. Why oh why did he have to use his trademark comeback so often? It didn't have the same effect as it used to.
Only now did he realise that the dreaded Babysitter was sitting behind Bad. He had flowing blond hair, with a green and white striped hat sitting upon his head; almost identical to the one he was wearing when they first met. Just Bad, he seemed unbothered by Tommy's screeching - maybe even enjoying it! Tommy felt anger building up inside of him; how dare they interrupt him, and ignore him like they had been expecting his reactions. He was being incorrectly accused and blamed, and they wouldn't even listen to him! He squeezed his fists harder - his knuckles going white.
"Tommy that's enough! Seriously." Ranboo snapped Tommy out of his thoughts and continued "As I was saying, you only seem to be getting worse - this situation as proof. Now, I've talked to the schools directors and in all honesty we are considering expulsion... again."
"Is that your only option? I seem to recall last time you had the same shitty solution. This is major déjà vu." Tommy heard a faint 'language' come from the brunette once again. Tommy tried to shoot the duo a death glare, but when he made eye contact he realised the blonde was already giving him one. How were they always two steps ahead!?
"But, as the school governors kindly helped us realise, expulsion would only make your behaviour worse for the next school," Ranboo gave Tommy a smug smile (which caused the blonde to stop glaring at the duo to start glaring at Ranboo instead) "So we decided to get Phil to stick my your side, 24/7. There are no limits, so he is free to use any method he deems necessary to get your behaviour in order."
"WHAT - NO! THERE IS NO WAY IM AGREEING TO YOUR STUPID IDEA. I DON'T NEED SOME IDIOTIC BABYSITTERS FOLLOWING ME AROUND... EVEN MORE THAN HE ALREADY IS!!" Tommy jumped up from the chair and threw it to the ground in a fit of fury.
Nurse Niki came in at that exact moment. "Tommy! My beautiful chair; how could you?" It was surprisingly hard to tell if she was joking or not. "You are to pick my chair up, and leave the nursing wing. I want none of this!"
Tommy begrudgingly picked up the chair, while unleashing a long line of swears under his breath.
Phil grabbed hold of Tommy's wrist, ignoring the small flinch Tommy made. "Let's go. This time I'm not taking shit from you."
Bad looked like he was about to say language, but Phil had already shot him an apologetic look. So he could swear, but not Tommy!?!? That's not fair!
Luckily, Tommy didn't have time to dwell on how unfair life was, before he was pulled out of the room, and down the hallways by a rather angry looking Phil. Great.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you. Working forces is difficult in the Age of Man, and gods are limited in the ways they interact with the world. The great monsters of old have mostly been slain, or sealed away. But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
