"Will do." he answered with a chuckle and the black sheild lifted again and you could see him once more- just without the girl. He shook his head with an amused smile, looking up to see the other boy practically a face that had become as red as a firetruck; but he was on his way out....but he still should have checked in......perhaps he would........later on. "I strongly reccomend you don't pay attention to my visitors, Chase, it's nothing new- but for you....well, you're much too young!" called the teacher in good humor- that relaxed atmosphere around him once more. That was a laugh.The demon flipped his pocketwatch open and he kept his grin. It seemed like those beneath him were going a bit crazy.....Sweet.
Wait a second.
Gaap looked up and paused his steps, having the feeling that the girl wasn't the end to his visitors. He had a very strong feeling that his Brother-in-Hell had been watching somewhere's close- or from high above......it was odd, but on earth there were many places to hide. The demon took a bottle from the air casually as if he had it the whole time, and took a sip. "Should have told her to make him come up and see what I'm doing since he wants be around so much...." he mumbled while walking back to the kids. His student should have been learning something....and the demons lurking in hell with a body like that wasn't a lesson Gaap was willing to teach his young student.
((*adds this in after a half hour* You know what? I still think it'd be funny to bring him in anyhow......I don't want the rp to end so quickly! D= And besides......I'd be nice to see how the raven reacts- as well as Lorien and Chase. That's why in the end of my post, I added the whole muttered thing.....I planned on that before i hit post- but I didn't hit spell check like i wanted- and there we go.......I forgot to change it- and perhaps the fun is possible yet.....Im hoping..
Nekozawa edit: Hey man, I'm not actually bringing Belial in here. I keep him out of this site for decency's sake. I mean, unless a Lorien-Chase-Ga'ap-Belial foursome is your idea of a good time... hell, why not add the raven in as well? XD But in all seriousness, no. Lorien's learning a lot, but he's not ready for that kind of crap.
Laura: FINE! RONOVE HAD NAGGED (as well as I myself) INTO MAKING CHASE LEARN SOME DECENT STUFF!))

((Yeah...Chase is more of a taco man, himself...))
Chase returned from his lust-inflicted trance and closed his gaping jaw. "Yeah...so, who was that? And what was her--OW!" Chase screamed as he was bitten in the ear again by Thanatos and his apparently painful beak. The necromancer rubbed his raw ear gingerly and with a look of dejection on his face, "No." The raven had kept it uncharacteristically short and sweet. Bloody demons, Thanatos thought to himself with malice.
"I was just asking who his friend was in case I needed an emergency contact!" Chase said as an emergency retort as he slowly caressed his ear. "I better not be bleeding..." Chase said as he moved his fingers toward his face and noticed that there was no blood, despite the piercing pain he had felt.

"Ha ha, kid, very funny. For that, you'll have to work extra hard- because your lessons start NOW." The last word was in all seriousness, flat and uncompromisable. "You missed Master Class, so I'll have to bring it to you."
The smile from his face fell to a flat line.

"If you do not mind it, sir, might I sit and watch? My own class was cut short, and I would like to learn as well," Lorien said, somewhat recovering from the odd woman. At age fifteen, she gave him feelings he was not quite prepared to deal with yet. Of course, some people were pregnant at fifteen, but Lorien was a sheltered child and he did not know about that.

"I see no reason why you can't Lorien," Gaap answered, turning back to his student, his jacket blowing in the cold winter winds that came out of nowheres. "Come on, Chase....."

"Man that is creepy," Chase said as a chill ran up his spine from the strange gust of gaseous frost. He looked like he was hugging himself as he tried to stay warm. Even though the breeze had past, it was unnaturally cold and chilled him down to the bone. "Then w-what are we going to do?" he asked as he stuttered from the chill of the gust; Chase was definitely not a winter person but he loved the seasons, one of the reasons that he wished he lived somewhere in California where they skip all the bad ones.
Thanatos, on the other hand, didn't seem terribly affected by the gust. It had ruffled his feathers, and so he shook himself to put them back into place, but other than that, the small raven took it much better than the almost full grown necromancer. "You know what I expect," Thanatos said specifying no one in particular, most likely making it refer to everyone. He floated up from his place atop Chase's shoulder and reached a branch from which he could view the entire field, even through the fog. Thanatos began picking at his feathers with his beak in order to clean them as he watched what was about to unfold.

Gaap's eyes only narrowed, his gun tossed from his side and onto the ground. Without anything special to signify that he was about to set his chess board up with all his little pieces, the demon summoned nine burly monsters of different body, ability, and features- not to mention featured weapons of MASS DESTRUCTION. "Now, make your best summon...... and we'll continue from there by matching it with one of mine that has similar abilities."

Inside, Chase was screaming that his teacher was going to kill him and all rekill all of his resurrected zombie pals, but another part of him told him that this whole experience will go much better if he just did what he was told. He took a deep breath in and closed his eyes; the monotonous ritual of his eyes turning to coal and the air turning into rotten eggs and burning flesh began as a crack opened in the ground. Chase already knew what it was from the small hand that came out. It was the monkey.
"What the hell?! EVERY FREAKIN' TIME I TRY TO SUMMON SOMETHING I GET THE SAME MONKEY!" Chase screamed in frustration. He began to kick the dirt violently, and then began to hit the ground with his scythe, looking like he was trying to plow...badly. His face flushed red with anger as the small monkey zombie pulled on his sleeve with a dejected look on its face. "No, I mean...thanks for coming," Chase said to the monkey, as to not have it almost change sides this time. He kicked the dirt one more time, and then ended his fit of frustration.

"You have the abilities, Chase," Lorien said encouragingly from the sidelines. His voice was filled with confidence. "With some practice and concentration, I am sure you will excel! Perhaps that monkey is your familiar!" Lorien had heard from Sister Terese that summoners sometimes had creatures that were always kept with them, called familiars.

Gaap didn't laugh this time, though you would think he was about to at Chase's little fit. "Try again, but focus this time, instead of wondering what you'll get next- and pull the monster you want out of the ground. If you feel the need to imagine it to force it up from the ground then go ahead."
(brain fart)

Chase heard his words, but didn't have any kind of image in his head. He closed his eyes and screamed in his head, 'Not a monkey--please not a monkey.' He kept his eyes closed during the ritualistic summoning process this time, as he didn't want to see what poor, useless creature would come out of the ground this time. Had he opened his eyes, he would have surely felt better that the hole was much larger than the one that the small monkey had emerged from.
Two hands helped the body of the unknown being out of the hole. It was no monkey; however, it wasn't that far off. It was a gorilla, but had been considerably morphed by the process of decomposition and mutation that occurred with these resurrected beasts. The face seemed relatively fine, except for the hollow, scarred and pupil-less eyes that stared at the necromancer. Wherever there was remaining skin, there was its black hair; but, wherever there wasn't skin there was exposed muscle, fat, and bone creating a picture that was not designed for the squeamish. Judging by the bulge of the gorilla's arms and from the exposed muscle, it had quite a bit of strength, but this was matched by the size of the creature's stomach. Pieces of its chest were worn away like the soles of old shoes, most likely from the constant banging that it did on its chest. There were bound to be some afterlife set backs after treating one's chest like a bongo for an upwards of ten years.
The gorilla acknowledge its master with a low grunt, and that deep voice was more than enough to allow Chase's worries to subside. He took a moment to inspect the creature, and only grew more pleased by the moment. "I do believe that I have succeeded in winning, thank you," he said in recognition of his accomplishment. It felt good to have actually accomplished something that had some practical value.

"You think you've won the war- but you haven't even gotten into battle, Chase." Gaap disagreed, "though it is an improvement." The man shook his head in a way that showed he was biting his tongue with many a things. His hands kept in their pockets and the chain of his pocketwatch hung around from the beltloop of his pants and into the left front pocket; black eyes looked to the ground in the forest as he quickly calculated a plan of his own- perhaps he himself was taking the wrong perspective on the boy's summons......
He'd find out. "Okay, kid, do it again. Clear your head and focus, or you'll have another monkey hanging off your arm....." The hawk companion to Gaap sat on his shoulder now, as if it knew it was in no danger no matter how many monsters were before his body and the one he perched onto.

Chase took a moment's breather to recover some of his energy that he lost; he was still a 'newb' after all. He attempted to to think back to things that he had seen in the past. The only thought that came to mind was the simple resurrection that Anubis, a member of his Family much like Thanatos (only a lot less feather-y), had shown him once during his introduction to the magical arts of Necromancy. His mind focused on that creature that he showed him, trying to picture it in vivid, high-definition detail. To the greater part, it had worked.
Instead of a hole, a piece of the earth dented in to form a ramp for the undead creature that was rising from the Earth. At first glance, it appeared to be a pure black scorpion; however, the scorpion was the size of a large dog in terms of height, and its tails extended far beyond that. But the second thing would be the previously mentioned two tails, both equipped with fully functional stinging apparatuses. Its six legs looked like patchworks of previous parts from other unfortunate creatures with fire used in place of thread and a blowtorch in place of a needle. The scorpion's claws were somewhat bulky, having replaced speed in favor of pure, unbridled strength.
There appeared to be unfortunate cracks in the armor of the beast, but unfortunate was just a matter of point of view. Chase waited for it, hoping that he had gotten it right--and lo and behold! he heard small sounds of scurrying from inside the scorpion as much smaller but identical scorpions could be seen moving inside the chimerical beast like an undead series of veins and arteries.
He almost had the creature's form right; except, when Anubis had shown it to him there had been multiple different kinds of deadly zombie creatures inside the scorpion, and the scorpion had been much larger (large as man, in fact), making it an undead APC. However, this was not bad for a first timer.
Chase sat down to take a breather; he felt like he had already exhausted himself. "Okay, I think this is good: The Dream Team. Yeah, that's what they are," he said to himself somewhat loudly. Chase had put forth more energy in those two summons than he had ever put into any amount of necromancy before, almost like comparing the productiveness of a Wall Street broker and a sloth.

Gaap nodded. "That's more like it, Chase......much better." the demon said accepting the more current summon the boy did for him. "....Considering your lack of practice, skill and abilities since most of the reason is because of your being new to the practice."
"....I can make a army of as much as I desire to bring out," Gaap said, "But you are just learning- and this amount of energy is all you have to use up- unless you intend to put yourself into a coma of no power for weeks on end." Suddenly, the Master teacher's monsters vanished out of thin air and he stood alone on the one side of the small clearning.
"That's all we'll do today, Chase. You need to learn how to summon without using up your strength- especially when you're in serious circumstances, you have to balance the energy and split it between physical and the magiks itself. Right now you haven't the skill to do that, but before we do any fighting- we will work on getting your energy distributed right. The tihng that makes the summon so powerful is how much will you give it- and the strength you give it in turn for helping you. And kid, let me tell you, ya can't do crap until that's learned...believe me, it sucks at first to do.....but its worth it when you aren't dying, and you can summon as many monsters as you care to like myself. It comes in handy."
The teacher sat on the rocks again, but did not lounge this time. Instead, his one leg was proped higher than the other based off the size of the small rocks that were beneath his feet; an arm resting on his knee. "I stress you try to summon that last one of yours twice a day to build up your strength when summoning, but like I said....that's all for today."

Vwoosh: that was the sound of what most of what the teacher said going straight over Chase's head. It wasn't as though he didn't possess the capacity to understand, it was that at the current moment he was somewhat zoned out and only caught the end of the teacher's speech about him 'practicing'. Now that could be a problem.
"Yeah...about practicing," Chase said with a lazy tone. He caught himself when he realize that he would be scolded or punished for keeping it like that: "I can do that, yeah." A nervous smile took hold over Chase as he anxiously rubbed the back of his neck. But he was angry that all this hard work seemed to be for naught because his twisted designs of nature weren't going to embellish in the heat of battle.
