I've met a few students on my way to the dorm and acquired a few laughs or chuckles because of my appearance. The best I could do is run with my head down and trying to cover my face as much as I can until I get back into my room. Which I managed to do in a quite record time despite my lungs giving up after I ran up two sets of stairs and then I climbed somehow the rest of it to arrive into the Zeus dorm. I am lucky that this part of the dormitory is not busy since it's only me and Saxa as his descendants, and well Reilly asked to be moved into the dorm to be with me. And beside those few visits of Saxa's bestie or her muscle squad, it is relatively empty. I hoped that she is not around and won't see me like this because she already called me pathetic before. What would she say now when I look like this? I don't even know why it bothers me so much. It's not like I want her approval and be best friends suddenly just because we share the same ancestor and powers but it might have been easier if I needed help in the future regarding my powers or just be in a part of the Zeus community if there even is one. But if Ares descendants have their war camps and hold together like Reilly explained, then maybe Zeus descendants have something of their own? Especially since he is the main god of Olymp, I would guess that they are the rulers of all descendants but I haven't really had a chance to figure that out yet. I should note it as one of the questions I can ask Professor Coldos and ask him how the communities work after I graduate. Do I have to report myself somewhere or I don't know. Reilly said that the Ares descendants are tracking every one but I haven't been claimed or asked to join others from my line...yet. I am not particularly crazy about pleaging some alliegance to strangers and then devote my life to whatever they order me to do but what if they don't give me a choice? Question mentally noted down, now it's time for shower. I slid into my room without bumping into Saxa, dropped my bag on the ground and went straight into the bathroom. I saw my face in the mirror and it was fully black, besides a few patches I smudged when I tried to cover my face and wiped off a little bit of the dust. But I still looked like I dunked my head into ashes. I planned only to wash my face in the sink but after I got rid of the dirty clothes, I noticed that the dust somehow managed to creep under my clothes and parts of my neck, shoulders and chest were also hit by the anti-stealing spell. Shower it is. I placed the dirty clothes next to the sink and I will work on them later, then I went to start the shower but I realized I haven't brought any towel with me. I groaned and then quickly went to get one, thinking maybe we should ask for a small cupboard in the bathroom and store them directly in the bathroom.
It took me longer than I expected to scrub off the dust from my skin. I had to wipe it so hard that even my skin turned red and is a little bit sensitive right now. Cleaning my face was the worst part and I couldn't even get it fully because of certain areas. Like my eyes for example. I couldn't brush my eyelids that hard so now I have a semi-permanent black eyeshadow for a few days. I guess it saves time to do it but this type of heavy dark make up isn't really my style. I can already hear Reilly making fun of me if I am a goth lady now or similar to that. Mostly because even my lips are still stained too. I could get the majority of the color off so instead of black it's grey now but I can cover that with darker lipstick. Which I don't really have but Kisha or Crimen might so after I got out of the shower, I made my way towards my desk and took out a blank paper to write a message for them, asking for a dark red lipstick and if we can meet up at Aveus. I wanted to use the communication spell but then I realized I shouldn't really be around using my magician powers if I am a demigod. I mean I have already sent them message once and they have seen me do other spells in the classroom but no one has really suspected anything or they haven't come to me with questions about it. I don't really know if anyone realized that I can still do spells but it's better if they take time with it and in the meantime I shouldn't make the target larger for them. Instead of the message, which I crumpled and tossed into the bin, I opted to use my phone and send them a casual message. While I waited for their reply, I went to get a new set of clothes and then quickly return to Professor Coldos' office. The autumn weather is in full blast and the winter is coming, but based on what I learned about the school spell heating system, I can still use lighter clothes. For pants I chose black jeans. Just in case I open another book with that dust enchanment, people won't be able to tell that they are dirty. But I had no other black top to pair it with so the best I could pick is a dark navy blue shirt. I got dressed, walked around my room while buttoning up my shirt, then picked up my backpack and left the dorm to get back and continue The student's week.
