Intro, part 1
In which Aria is missing and the Heartslabyul duo finds out she has disappeared and looks for her.
It was supposed to be just another night at NRC. Ace and Deuce sleeping in their dorm room with two other freshmen.
Deuce woke up from a nightmare.
One where he failed to be the honor student he strives to be and has disappointed his mom.
He decided to go downstairs and get a drink. Hopefully it isn't against the Queen of Hearts rule to drink water in the middle of the night but considering the other drink and food related rules he vaguely remembered and heard it's possible he might be breaking another rule without realizing it again.
On his way back from the kitchen, still drinking what remains of his glass of water he hears something distressing.
It was a shout from a student in distress they sound panicked.
Did another student get caught by Riddle breaking the rules. No there wasn't any noise after that, and he was sure the shout wasn't Riddle shouting his signature spell.
He walked over to the area he thought the noise came from and knocked on a few doors. He first knocked on Aria's door but got no response.
He knocked on the next door as a disgruntled student swung the door open clearly grumpy from being woken up.
"What is it!?!"
"can't you see were all trying to sleep, what is so damn important to wake us up this late at night!?" Said the Heartslabyul student.
"I heard a shout come from here and thought someone was in trouble, I don't suppose that was you by chance" Deuce mentioned with a nervous voice as he scratched the back of his neck.
"It wasn't me it clearly came from that one-eyed girl, why don't you tell her to keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep" He grumbled before closing the door on Deuce.
Huh that's strange if Aria was the one who shouted, why didn't she answer the door earlier. Maybe she's still half asleep or perhaps she didn't hear him knock.
Deuce goes back to Aria's door and tries knocking again.
No answer
He tries again.
No answer
Deuce finishes drinking the glass of water still in his hand.
'Should I go in?'
"Hey Aria, it's me Deuce may I come in?"
No answer
Maybe she fell back asleep.
Deuce then proceeds to return his glass of water to the kitchen.
Deuce after returning the empty glass realized. When's the last time he heard Aria shout at all? Maybe during the last overblot.
Hm perhaps this was serious.
Deuce walks back to Aria's door and knocks again.
"Aria are you in there?"
No answer.
Deuce sighs.
"I'm coming in please don't punch me. I'm just worried about the shout I heard from ya earlier" Deuce explained.
Still no answer.
Deuce opens the door slowly. Looks like the door was unlocked, did Aria forget to lock it. She was the only girl sorted into Heartslabyul so Riddle gave her a room to herself since it be against the rules for boys and girls to sleep in the same room and had even made sure Aria's door had a lock on it.
Deuce slowly walks into the room and closes the door behind him.
"Aria you there I heard your shout earlier. Is everything alright?" Deuce said quietly with a tinge of fear and doubt in his voice.
"Aria?' he called out once more.
He made it to her desk and turned on the lamp. Looking at the bed it didn't take long to realize she was not here. Her bed looks like a mess.
'What could have happened to Aria between the shouting and now?'
Back in Ace and Deuce's dorm room.
He left the bedroom and tried looking around for any sight of her before returning to his room.
"Ace! Ace wake up! I think something terrible has happened"
Deuce said as he was shaking Ace awake from their bed.
"Ugh wat time is it? what do you mean by something terrible happen are you sure you're not imagining things or overreacting again Deuce"
"It's [insert time between 3am and 7am here], could you please just help me look for her?"
"Ugh... her? which one are you referring to?"
"Aria, I heard her shout something and she's gone. I'm worried she's seriously missing" Deuce
Really Deuce got him up just because Aria made a loud noise that spooked him and can't find her.
Sighs
"what's in it for me?"
"Huh?"
"I'm not gonna help ya look for a wandering student for you without getting something out of it, so again what's in it for me?"
"uh?" Deuce scratched the back of his head.
"I dunno maybe a [insert bribe, favor or chores to do in Ace's stead here]"
"Man. You're really antsy about this, fine I'll do it but only cause you owe me one" Ace replied.
The two proceeded to search all over Heartslabyul dorm with no luck.
Deuce sighs in relief as the two of them leave their bedroom off to search for Aria.
"Man, this is a drag are you sure she's missing it's not like she's been gone for that long right?" Ace whined.
Deuce scratched the back of his head.
"I dunno I really don't think she leave so suddenly after a shout like that, without it being something serious"
"Well whether she's gone serious or not I don't think we will find her around the dorm anytime soon" Ace mentions.
"Yeah, I wonder where she could be? Oh I know what about Ramshackle!"
"Sure, we can check their next as long as you don't mind waking up that Grumpy cat and incurring Yuu's wrath" Ace said.
And thus the one braincell Heartslabyul duo leaves the dorm and heads to Ramshackle.

You ever think that Yuu gets jealous of the main cast during the events? Especially once they meet their ‘friends’ parents. Yuu having no known way home, but constantly seeing their friends parents must irk something in them.
Just imagine when Yuu meets Epel’s grandma Marja and she starts to remind them of their own grandma. So they start talking to her just lingering a little more than everyone else around Epel’s meemaw. But once Yuu is finally away from her fetching something from the kitchen they see Epel happily laughing with his Meemaw. Yuu’s usually monotone face twitches into a frown. Though they soon push it aside that’s his grandma not yours.
Then Yuu meets Deuce’s mom Dylla. She’s even been checking up on you including the others, but somethig just feels different with the way she makes sure you’re ok. It soon starts to make Yuu miss their mom. It’s oddly painful when you have to tell Dylla goodbye. They just met her and already they don’t want to part ways with her. Yuu’s mind soon takes a slightly dark turn seeing the Shroud family interact. Growing bitter seeing how close they all are even with all the hardships they have faced. They quietly scoffed in the distance as they heard Idia’s mother tell him she loves him or his father say he’s proud of him. Yuu doesn’t know why they feel so hurt and bitter about this. Idia and Ortho’s parents are just being good parents through this very troubling time with Malleus’s Overblot… Yuu is probably just still freaked out that’s why they’re so negative… Right?
Soon they meet more and more of their ‘friends’ parents, siblings, grandparents, and so on. It just starts to feel like the universe is being cruel to them at this point. It gets even worse as Yuu forgets their loved ones faces, voices, and even a few memories with them…
Once again after every event Yuu is walking back to the dormitory with Grim curled up on their shoulders. As always the little monster clung to them. Opening the door to the newly renovated dorm they sighed seeing the three mischievous ghosts welcome them back.
“ I’m soooo happy to be home!” Grim stated.
Home? Yuu froze looking around taking in their still poor living conditions. Was this their home from now on? Do they truly have no to their actual home?… Was this all they could even call home at all? A haunted dorm in a magical school filled with mentally unstable and overpowered teens. Was this sick joke really all they have to show their in this universe?
Prologue: Before NRC orientation
The loud noises of crunching leaves could be heard as Yuzu walked through the forest on this late and cold afternoon. The autumn leaves falling all around her alongside the cold breeze of the wind.
She glanced down at the heavy paper bag full of groceries she was holding onto with both hands.
Her short blonde hair blowing in the wind along with the few silver strands of hair on a small portion of her bangs, on her right side.
She also had right behind that silver bangs a portion of silver hair behind that. It was like a silver strip of hair both on her bangs and backside of her head.
Yuzu looked back up from the bag of groceries. As she saw the girl not much older than her just further ahead. One whom she saw as a older sister figure in her life.
Yuzu - "Sian, wait up!"
As Yuzu said this the taller girl ahead of her had stopped walking in response. The taller girl's long wavy dark brown hair brushed against her backside.
More notably against the long black cloak she wore that reached her ankles. The taller girl turned to face Yuzu as a long braided strand whipped around that land on top of Sian's shoulder.
The taller girl huffed and looked straight into Yuu's eyes. Sian's dark purple eyes staring right into Yuzu's acorn brown eyes.
Sian - "sorry dear"
Sian stands still waiting as she lets the shorter girl Yuzu catch up to her, staying just 3 steps behind Sian.
"thank you big sister" Yuzu replied
Sian was also holding a paper bag full of groceries as well in her arms. The two girls then proceeded to walk once more.
"I'm surprised you were that far behind me"
Yuzu just chucked a bit embarrassed in response. Sian raised a eyebrow noticing the bashful expression on Yuzu's face.
"Do I dare ask what slowed you down this time?" Sian questioned.
Yuzu immediately shakes her head violently. She rather not tell Sian and get another lecture on being easily distracted by her surroundings once more. Though she is aware Sian is just concerned for her.
The two girls stopped walking once more. They stood in front of a dirt road looking towards another forest path up ahead.
Sian looks both ways across the dirt road before ultimately crossing it with Yuzu following closely behind her still.
In the middle of crossing the road they both suddenly hear the sounds of horses alongside the clanking metal of a carriage.
Sian turns to Yuzu, her eyes wide as Yuzu turns towards the sound of the carriage coming straight towards them on their right.
Unfortunately, the carriage didn't show any signs of slowing down and before the two could move out of the way they got knocked out by the horses pulling the carriage.
Unknowingly to the two girls the carriage had whisk them away to another world.
Their grocery bags destroyed its contents now littering the dirt road with no other signs of what had just occurred by the magical carriage.

I swear to Gawd
This is the third time and second time this morning.
Sighs
Let me repeatedly save my works in drafts as many times as I want without accidentally posting my wip before I'm ready.
They live in a magical medieval fantasy world.
Recently before getting isekaied Yuzu lived in a cottage in the woods not to far off from a village settlement. Sian usually hangs out at a castle with her childhood friend 'Prince'.
Sian used to live in a hometown full of pixie fairies like her, think of pixie hollow and the Tinkerbell movies.
My point is Yuzu and Sian are actually in a more similar boat as Grim not knowing Holidays from Twisted wonderland.
Not to mention also being very outdated on technology and confused by them. Hell Ace on week one had to point out the light switch in Ramshackle, used it and surprised the two girls with the power of electric light sources.
So yeah these OCS are from a world of magic but not a modern world of magic unlike twisted wonderland.
Also pixie Fae from Sian & Yuzu's world are a tad different or at least the laughter born ones are. Sian being one of those fairies/pixies.
I think my OCS from this Au have experience or heard of generic seasonal festivals in their world.
Birthdays, mothers day, and father's day, will also exist in Sian's world.
Might need to further look into what holidays or celebrations their medieval fantasy world might hold, that includes any fairy related holidays like in one of the tinker bell movies.
So I'm probably gonna rewatch TinkerBell and the lost treasure. I wanna add that festival/event as something that is celebrated at Sian's hometown.
