Breaking Point

Riddle: "Are you alright? You weren't at dinner, and the others have grown worried." Emery [Yuu]: *shakes her head* Riddle: "Is it a physical problem? Did you give yourself a migraine again?" Emery: *shakes her head* Riddle: "A mental one?" Emery: *nods* Riddle: "…did you overwhelmed at the meeting today?" Emery: *nods* Riddle: "…do you want to be alone?" Emery: *shakes her head* Riddle: "Alright then, come here." Emery: "Are you sure?" Riddle: "I wouldn't have said otherwise if I wasn't." Emery: *crawls into his arms and stays there, comfortable and vulnerable enough to let a few tears fall down her face.* Emery: "I just want a break for one day… is that too much to ask for…?"

A Commentary on P.E. Uniforms

Deuce: "What are you doing?" Ace: "Nothing." Deuce: "You're staring at Emery." Ace: "And that's a crime?" Jack: "It is when she's stretching." Ace: "THAT'S NOT IT. It's just… She's wearing shorts." Epel: "I'm wearing shorts." Ace: "That's not what I mean! I mean like… haven't you noticed that hers are… uh… shorter than ours?" Deuce, Epel, Jack: "… 🤔 " Epel: "Now that you mention it…" Deuce: "I thought that was just a girl thing." Jack: "Have you ever thought that maybe it's for more mobility? Less fabric, less air resistance and less things that get caught when she's doing her routines." Ace: "I mean, I guess. It's just weird. Why are girls' shorts shorter than boys'? It makes no sense to me." Deuce: "Ace, are you trying to say you want to wear short shorts?" Ace: "NO!" Epel: "He has the legs for it." Ace: "Shut up!" Emery [Yuu]: "What are you guys talking about over here?" Ace, Deuce, Jack, Epel: "Nothing!"

Teaching an Eel a New Trick

Azul: "What are you doing?" Emery [Yuu]: "Floyd wouldn't leave me alone until I taught him some kind of gymnastic trick." Azul: "So you gave him a ball?" Emery: "Believe me or don't, but one of the apparatuses I use is a ball." Azul: "I believe you… I'm surprised he seems to be struggling so much." Emery: "I tried to tell him that our bodies are different, so he's gonna struggle. But he's Floyd and doesn't listen. I probably should've given him a hoop…" Azul: "Would that be any better?"

First Year Photos

Riddle: "HARGREAAAAVEEEEESSSS--" Emery [Yuu]: "No! Nope, no, no, no, no!" Riddle: "I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD--!" Emery: "YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH ME FIRST!" (Emery runs into Ramshackle, slamming the door shut and locking it.) "And stay out!" Riddle: "EMERY!!" Grim: "What did you do that got Riddle so mad at you that he started chasing you?!" Emery: "I found a picture of him before he became housewarden. I don't know why he's flipping about this. He looks cute with the little heart painted on his face." Grim: "…Lemme see!" Emery: "Nope! You'll just blackmail him with it. I'm keeping this locked in my safe space for security."

A Presentable Prefect

Emery [Yuu]: "Why have you two dragged me here? We have an important assembly and I still need to get Grim in his robes and get changed--"

Azul: "I have your robes here."

Emery: "...How did you--?! Stay out of my closet!"

Azul: "You wound me, Hargreaves. I would never think of rummaging through a lady's belongings. I had Jade pick them up from the cleaner."

Emery: "...I didn't send them out to the dry cleaner."

Azul: "...I said that I would never rummage through a lady's belongings. Floyd is a different story." (Emery debates getting a lock for her wardrobe.)

Vil: (sigh) "Don't worry about that cat. I asked Rook to help get him prepared while I help you."

Emery: "...What?"

Vil: (over at his vanity, gesturing to a stool next to him.) "Sit."

Emery: "Vil--"

Vil: "Sit. Down." (She sits on a stool next him.) "You are one of the housewardens. You can play the part, but when it comes to ceremonies like these, you need to look the part as well."

Emery: "Meaning...?"

Vil: "I'm doing your makeup for this event. If I have to see you smearing soot around your eyes one more time, I will have an aneurysm."

Emery: "...It's not soot. It's just eyeshadow that Riddle gave me--"

Vil: "That's even worse. Now sit still and pay attention, because this is the only time I'll be teaching you how to do this properly."

About Ace's Labwear

Emery [Yuu]: "Ace, wear your lab goggles properly."

Ace: "Why're you yellin' at me?!"

Emery: "I'm not yelling, and you're the only one not wearing them right in class!"

Ace: "Grim isn't!"

Deuce: "I don't think anything that we're working with could hurt Grim..."

Ace: "You. Shut up."

Emery: "Just put them on over your face."

Ace: "Or what? You'll tell Professor Crewel?"

Emery: "..." (She goes for her bag and pulls out a plastic water bottle.)

Ace: "What are you doing?" (She unscrews the cap and without mercy, smashes her fist against it so that the water surges out and douses Ace right in the face.)

Emery: "Be glad that was water and not our potion. Now put your goggles on properly."
