Bree sat on the Bed Annie had prepared for her, not feeling like sleeping she was content to read the book she had gotten from the second-hand shop, interested in the myriad of plants in it that hadn't existed in the game.
Annie was also sitting on the bed, a respectable distance from Bree, and doing her version of resting by lying against the wall in a stance that made her look like a giant lifeless toy.
The second someone knocked against the door Annie shot up to her feet and changed outfits while running, appearing next to the door in her full maid outfit, button, and needle in hand as she opened the door just enough to deny any visible access to her master.
"Hello," Annie looked down to find the source of the voice, A Short Human woman with a large squirrel tail and little squirrel ears in place of human ears stood before the door, "My name is Jhoana Houstan," She Greeted Annie formally and with a little bow, "I'm one of the professors in charge of the lecture on old magics, I was told by Headmistress Milena that we had a last second guest speaker and I was wondering if she might be available to come to conference hall D on the fifth floor of castle two?"
"My Lady?" Annie turned to ask Bree the question, but found her already back in full gear, her spear in ring form, "Ah, I see, can you escort her?"
"Absolutely," Professor Houstan assured her, Annie opened the Door and Bree was surprised to meet someone slightly shorter than she was, even if only barely.
"Oh hello," She shook Bree's hand with Gusto, "I am Jhoana Houstan, Professor of Basic Magical Studies, you may call me Ana or Mrs.Houstan,"
"I am Bree," Bree told her, the lack of any other parts of her name starting to make her feel slightly rude during introductions, "Queen of Melodia, I have no first, middle, or last names, so I'm just Bree, no need to call me Queen Bree though, school rules say all creatures are to be treated as equals and I feel referring to me with a royal title would break the spirit of the rule, even if it is only meant for the students,"
Ana's eyes sparkled at Bree for a moment before she noted a fact most people usually did on their first meeting, to Bree's delight however she had something other than an insult in mind.
"Oh Look at your eyes," Ana squealed, "They're so adorable, I bet you were using magic before you even started walking,"
"I have never heard my mistress talk of her younger years," Annie noted, "Although it is known that she gained too much magical power for her body to withstand and had to forcefully change her race to one with a high upper limit,"
Bree looked over to Annie slightly miffed, but with no visible marking of it on her face Annie just bowed politely and she figured what was already said couldn't be unsaid with harsh words,"
"That's incredible," Ana's mystified tone now matched the sparkling in her eyes, "How did you do that,"
"Well," Bree chuckled, having not expected Ana to take the words at face value without so much as a suspicious look or question, "Maybe it's better if we walk and talk, we'll be standing here all day if we don't," Bree followed after Ana and began telling her about her Creation Chamber, taking care not to mention where it was located, and making sure she was fully aware it only responded to Bree's call so no one else could use it.
"Outstanding," Ana muttered, showing off her ability to multitask as she both took notes and escorted Bree to the conference hall, "When I was in Cleminz I heard a rumor that Demon Lord Mimzy has a similar device, but rarely uses it," Bree's eyes peaked, even if only slightly at that information.
"Demon Lord Mimzy," Bree mused in her head, "Argit said he was the oldest and strongest of the Demon Lords, and he has a unique item only found in player bases from the game," The Idea that Bree wasn't the only person who had been sucked into the game had passed her by once or twice. But thus far she had been so busy setting up roots, she hadn't yet had time to check in on it.
"Well, I am very old," Bree noted with a shrug, getting Ana's attention, "Could be Mimzy and I originated from the same era," Ana slowed to a stop at the statement and looked back at Bree for a moment, "He probably had a different way to survive the meteor, or maybe he just walked it off? Me, personally, I panicked a little and just sent my home and the followers living in it spinning across time and space," Bree chuckled at the notion before Ana spoke.
"You're from the time before the Lunar Sea?" Bree expected Ana to be suspicious, or maybe get mad at Bree claiming to be on par with the oldest and probably most respected Demon lord, but Ana once again didn't seem to doubt her words for a second.
"You're an awfully trusting soul?" Bree noted with concern, "That seems like a dangerous personality trait to have," Bree felt she had to call it out just in case Ana was humoring what she thought were little more than delusions or something, Ana, in turn, pointed to her nose.
"I can smell lies," Ana replied without skipping a beat, "They smell like burning toast, skipping past that what was it like?" Ana immediately cut off her question with a denial of it, "No, no don't tell me you have to tell Yorgan, he's the professor of Archaeology, he loves hearing about lost countries and their forgotten histories, Mimzy and his most loyal followers have given out very few official statements on their old country, and the last one was several hundred years ago," Ana picked up the pace, and Bree started hovering slightly to avoid having to pick up the pace.
Upon reaching the fifth floor Ana ran down a few hallways before arriving at one labeled C-D and opened the door, Bree followed her inside and got the feeling the room was much larger than it should have been based on the placement of adjacent doors, "Must be the same kind of Magic my home uses to be bigger on the inside,"
