Summary: After meeting the headmaster, Yuzuru meets Ace, Deuce and Cater. They get to know who’s behind the tournament for now.
Prologue part 5 - Info dump by yours truly
All according to the planning schedule, the birdman called the magicless prefect and the monster Grimm, into his office two after their regular classes the very next day. He congratulated them for the hard work they have put through for the distribution of the flyers. All thanks to the Queen of Hearts’s dorm leader, the preparations and enthusiasm for their future newcomer it would be a piece of cake.
“As requested, my henchman and I came per your demand. Now, where’s the reward?!” The little gray cat-like monster demanded rather harshly. “I won’t fall for your tricks again!”
“Come on, Grim, this is not that bad.” Yuzuru said with a small smile on his face.
“Before giving you the right reward for all this work, I need one small last favor. We need a good photograph to be on the first line to see the upcoming event’s fight. As per saying, I also refrain Grim from doing anything reckless. This is our only chance to have a new student from outside. I wouldn’t like any trouble on their first time arriving here.”
“I don’t wanna look at people fighting! I want to do something physical! Interact with the crowd!” Grim protested.
“Well, you can still help the Heartsybul with the ticket booth,” Crowley added. “I heard Mr. Diamond would be giving some tarts for free…”
“I’M IN!!” The monster danced, overjoyed by the thought of food.
“He got him by the stomach again.” Yuzuru thought. “Headmaster.” Crowley turned around to meet the young student behind him. “Have you got any news for a way back home?”
“I’ve been busy with this event, even in-between minutes, seem fruitless. Don’t worry, young one; I will surely find something about it soon enough.” He encouraged. Yuzuru smiled sadly and nodded. He took Grim by the scruff and dragged him out on the headmaster’s order.
“Prefect!” The young dorm leader turned around with Grim on his shoulder when they left Dire Crowley’s office, closing the door.
“Ace! Deuce!” They greeted them with a small smile while they slowed beside the duo with their arms full of trinkets.
“Riddle put us into the tents building around the coliseum. We are taking care of that construction monstrosity for only a one-day event.” Ace sighed, taking a break by a corridor bench, whining. “Why is it this important all of sudden?!”
“You sure look busy,” Grim added.
“I’d rather clean your entire dorm than build something.” Ace drawled.
“It’s fun to build,” Deuce said unphased.
“Says the one with the magic hands.” Carter popped with his phone. “Deuce-kun truly has the work into the body, if you know what I mean.”
“Cater-senpai.” The prefect greeted me too. “Do you have any ideas of who will be hosting the event?”
“Sure do!” He made his signature pose with his peace fingers, fishing out his phone. “From all I know, they come from an outside land from Twisted Wonderland. Each of them has a background of mages and they are from a well-known knight training academy.” He pauses. “Also, they are from the same land as one percilar student in Diasomnia.”
“What’S the land’s name?” Ace questioned. “It’s not like we are this popular? What is the point of organizing a tournament for a one-day event?”
“Well, A-kun.” Cater smiles caging the red head against the wall. “It will be the decision of the students and dorm leaders to decide which mage will make it out at the very end. “It works out as a small tournament.”
“Sounds hardcore,” Deuce said as he looked at the screen, scrolling down to look at the canditates. It was composed of females and males. There were no pictures available but most of their information of their names, professions and age. Carter closed his phone, catching the trio by surprise.
“Alright, you two, let’s get going. We have to build the info booth on the main street. Unless you want Riddle to get you collared again.” The two first years gulped. “It was nice to see you two, Prefect, Grim. See you at the event.”
A-Deuce apologized for the short conversation they were able to do. Yuzuru waved at them while they got pulled in the other direction; Grim was a bit more demanding than usual.
I didn’t expect this to gain a lot of attention & was kinda unactive in the fandom that’s why i only got to do heartslabyul. i also lost the pictures of the other dorms so feel free to send it to me since i might edit some more ~
kinda got stuck on deuce’s & cater’s part idk whether i should put “yes!” “all right!” or any other stuff. it’s basically just an expression when you’re excited but i think “all right” fits deuce the most! for cater, I’m not too familiar with jp slangs hnng was only gonna put “cool?” but it sounds and looks wrong since there’s a question mark ಠ_ಠ so i just did “is it cool?” (but if it’s really just “cool” I’ll edit it!)
take note: if you’re planning to make it an emoji to your discord server, the file is not 256kb so you’d have to decrease the file yourself (or i could make a separate one but idk)
(I’m not an expert when it comes to translating especially on editing. I only made them just for fun and for me and my friends to use in dc! I’ll take it down if it’s not allowed.)
ok so like NCR HASto have a band. like there’s no way they don’t. and as a band kid I’m going to claim this as canon and tell you what twisted wonderland characters are band kids.
Azul- plays clarinet, look at him. he’s a clarinet man. definitely prefers concert season over marching. Wants to be drum major
Kalim- drumline. literally canon he plays instruments but I think out of all the band instruments he plays
Vil- was orchestra but joined band when Neige joined orchestra as well. Plays flute and is this year’s head drum major (NCR is too big to only have one)
Idia- hear me out, he opts out of marching season and only shows up to rehearsals and events but still plays perfectly. clearly a clarinet (and no way shape or form does he brag ab being better than Azul… no way)
Floyd- Probably got kicked out a few times for starting fights with other bands and breaking the drums when playing but somehow (azul) was always let back in. the one kid who screams smash mouth on the bus heading to games
Cater- Claims he’s not a part of the band bc ew gross and he’s the dance team so he’s way better. (will never tell anyone that he was a flute player in middle school. ever)
Riddle- That one flute player with a stick up his ass about technique
anyways yeah those r the main ones but feel free to add more if u wanna
If he got bitten in a zombie apocalypse, Cater would deadass just be like “Can you do it again? I wasn’t recording…” and you can’t convince me otherwise. Also this meme…
I cleaned up and added the monochrome colour to this one Nyo Mallekei sketch I showed before. I really like these two Feel free to talk to me about them at any time
Commissions are open, check out my pinnned post if you’re interested~
