Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

"A break from the crazy would be good," she said, leaning her head on his shoulder. For just a moment all of the big important stuff wasn't so big and important. She was just a girl spending time with the boy she loved. She wanted that moment to last as long as possible. "Let's go get some dinner then."
'You don't have any more siblings, right? As fun as it is to be punched awake in the morning...' he says with a smile, obviously not upset about it and just poking fun as the pair make their way down the hallway towards the cafeteria, arm in arm.

"We only count littermates as siblings. Even if you have the same parents, someone from a different litter...it's a more distant relationship. More like what you would call a cousin I think...except not exactly. Anyhow, the point is that Sil and I are the only surviving members of our litter, so no, no worries about other siblings showing up to punch you good morning," she said, laughing.

'That's good to know. Alright, next question: are you going to help me plan my revenge prank against Sil, or am I on my own? Cause even if we made up... He just seems like the perfect person to play a prank on.' Ehos displays with a sly grin on his face.

Tybalt listens intently to what she says, content that he got more from Maya than he could from Tryko'Sam.

"That reminds me of this one planet I went to. They had a name for it that was just the name in their language, but in Folk it sounded the same as the word for pillow. It was kinda funny, cause the planet never had clouds for long at a time, so it looked less like a pillow than most planets."
He scratches the hedgehog's chin on his shoulder as she continues.
"So, was it just like getting knocked out there and waking up here? Or was there tine inbetween when you were with Tryko'Sam? And It's fine. I think we could be good friends too. I always get along better with smart people. And to be honest, I've always preferred people to trees. You guys talk a lot more."
He smiles with his eyes closed and the end of his tongue just out of his mouth.
"So you guys were super heroes? That's freakin cool! Maybe we have a comic about you in the library. Every book ever written and all that."
With all of his supplies packed, he produces a long white Sheppard's crook pulling it from his pocket much like Marie Poppins' carpet bag. He puts it behind over his shoulders and drapes his arms over it bent at the elbow.
It seems impractically long for him to use. With the space on his shoulder taken, the hedgehog climbs up and sits on his head between his ears amidst the tail end of the color spectrum highlights in his otherwise black hair.

Maya watches as she appears to be thinking on something he said, "There is a book... Wait, you think our experiences are recorded and stored in this building's library? Is this a fact? That was be stupendous and solve so many issues. I'll definitely want to see this library at one point."

Given the short passage of time, the door opens and Tryko'Sam walks back in dressed, adjusting to the clothing. "Hey, that Wizard back, or we waiting some more? Cool stick, catman. Do you whack moles or keep sheep with that thing?" He glances around and slumps into the same chair as before.

Maya quickly mentions the bit about the library, which seems to resonate with Tryko'Sam as well, "No s+!#? Every book ever written?"

"I did actually use it for sheep back home. I guess it's just comforting to have with me. I wonder if I could get any sheep here. Home made wool would be nice..."
He trails off and is silent for a moment before snapping back from his zoned out state.
"Hmm? Oh! Ya. I think they do. It seemed big enough. I was thinking about trying to find the yearly almanac from back home to see what I've been missing. If someone wrote about you back when you were doing stuff there, it should be in the library here. I might like to read about you guys if you're in a comic. Maybe that's why you talked about fighting crime the first day we met. Old memory popping back up. Maybe we could look after we get done finding the person Vare talked about?"
He blows and pops another blue bubble while expecting the next response.

Jaiye chuckled. "Oh, I'm in. I haven't had a chance to play a prank on my brother in years....I have lost time to make up for," she said, eyes sparkling with mischief.

The arrows seemed to be leading Lang in circles. He was absolutely certain that he'd passed the same stretch of hallway at least five times now. Just as he'd given up and started to walk away the arrows doubled back and pointed directly where he had just been. He can hear footsteps behind him.

"Lang, I was just coming to find you. How long is it until we're supposed to leave, and do you have a full list of who is coming along?"

"Well...I guess that's that. It looks like it was just an unhappy accident...should we go try to check up on Tryko'Sam now?" Asha asked once Miss Jones had delivered her verdict and Shaypeer had been set free.

Ignace grimaced a little when Midori mentioned what Lang thought. It wasn't too far off the truth.

"He broke my trust. That hurts. It's going to take time to get past that...it doesn't mean I hate him."

Ignace gladly grabbed onto the change of subject. "No, I didn't even know Cariban could sew! Sara never mentioned it even though we were just making a yukata for Cariban...I'm sad that we never got to have our tea party after all. Next weekend, I guess. But first let me see what you guys made."

Midori knew well that sometimes you have to keep secrets from your friends to earn their trust, so she nodded along with that... taking Blackscales-sensei's words to heart. That didn't stop her heart from beating quickly and the rose colour refusing to leave her cheeks. Especially when Ignace asked to see what she had made.

"Hai!" she says eagerly, trying hard to contain her excitement, as she turns back to the vestibule to extract the yukata for Sara and for Chara that they had made. She lays them delicately in front of Ignace and awaits her professional judgement of the pieces eagerly.

'Any ideas? We don't want to humiliate him too badly, or damage his sense of honour. He takes that a bit too seriously... we want to be playful, but not mean, right?' His returns, apparently equally as eager to get into a little 'fun' trouble.

"It's good! Downright amazing for a beginner, though I suspect from looking at these that Cariban knows how to sew pretty well," she said, smiling. "Chara is going to be so happy with this duck pattern."

She paused. "Ummm....I don't mean to pry, but are....are you and Zilla having a fight or something? She didn't really want to talk about it, but she was really upset. It's okay to tell me if it isn't any of my business."

"We could always go with some of the old stand-bys....shaving cream in the shoes, cups that leave an ink mustache, gluing all the furniture in his room to the ceiling....well, if he even wants a room...he's all about nature now so he might want to sleep outside....."

"Yeah, let's go. I... it's going to be strange being humanoid again, if I ask Vare to polymorph me. I wonder what it will actually be like?"

I am hoping to leave within the hour. Lang says with a bow to his senior, and a bit excited to go.

I believe that it will be Grim, Hew, and Sorun... definately Midori and Sara. and a dragon-like fellow named Lewis and his friend.

Lang pauses and tries to go over the list in his head trying to not forget anyone.

I just wish I didn't mess up with Ignace, I really wanted to share this time with her and her family. Lang adds with definate sorrow in his voice and eyes at what he said to her.

A smile which practically deflates when Ignace mentions Zilla, the rose colour finally fading from her cheeks. "Ano... I... it's a little complicated, Ignace-chan. I... Hew-kun likes me... and... well." the ninja stumbles a little over her words, trying to think of how to explain it properly. "I... I don't feel the same way, but I think Zilla-chan wanted me too... and she saw me and Lang after we had been wretsling in the mud and... she got some strange ideas I think. She thinks I betrayed Hew-kun. I... I already talked with Hew-kun and told him... is Zilla-chan really that upset with me?" she finishes just a little despondantly.

'Shaving cream?' Ehos asks with a mock-confused look on his will-always-be-clean-shaven face. 'I'm pretty sure I could talk someone into messing with the plant life in the area around where he sleeps. He's not the only nature-focused magic user in the school after all.'

"Plus, I'll have you and Tryko'Sam and Vare to help me." Rena says with a slight nuzzle, obviously not completely shut to the idea of once again being humanoid. "It was really fun, even if it probably wasn't exactly what it should have been."

"Let's go see Tryko'Sam, alright? And that girl who was with him."

After a long silence, Nala pulls away and sits up.

"One of us should probably go and talk with the Headmaster...let him know that I've hit my limit and someone else needs to be put in charge of the infirmary for a while. At least for the night shift."

He slowly shifts back into his human form and backs up a bit as not to alarm her...

"Or both of us can. Unless you want some alone time." She can tell he's ok with the idea of her needing alone time in the way he asks it. He's not probing or playing a mind game. It's something he's accepted as a possibility. She can sense a wee bit of frustration on his part, that cuddling seems to be the only meaningful thing he can do to help. He is a problem solver with a problem he know he can't solve, but he's accepted that, also.

I know Nala has the ability to read people well...now being part bear I'm assuming she has some instinctive insight into body language as well, probably. I hope I'm not taking too much license with what she'd read here. He also promised to never use his Deception abilities on her. It's all genuine.

"She is my sister's fourth, and I believe only a year or two younger than you. Yes, it concerns me greatly that my family is put at risk here, but it also is one of the better options for higher learning. I would like you to help me keep an eye on her and out for her. At least until this threat is neutralized.

It seems that Avalon is the flame to which the moth of tragedy is drawn..."
"You do remember that I'm younger than I look, right Gramps? The last time you thought a cousin was younger than me they turned out to be ten years older," he said with a shrug. "But whatever. I'll try to keep an eye on Alys."

"Yes, well. I am keenly aware that your tails do not correlate with the wisdom that comes with them." He says with a smirk. He puts his hand on his shoulder in a very familiar way. Seems almost a breech of etiquette for the old fox.

"I know you have been through more in your life than most that have a tail or two more than you, son. I respect the man that you're becoming. That is why I've asked you for help in this matter. I'm not putting this responsibility on you. I'm sharing it with you. I h..., err, trust you can see the difference?"

"It's okay, Midori. Zilla is really upset, but give her some time to calm down. If Hew explains things to her, I'm sure she'll come around once she knows that she misunderstood."

"Hai, it definitely makes things very confusing." Midori agrees, nodding along with Ignace-chan as she says her peace about romance in general. "Maybe someday though, we'll want to giggle and talk about boys. I don't understand why though." She says, trying to be honest with herself for a moment, but failing completely - she didn't think she would giggle over boys.

"I hope so. Zilla-chan didn't even give me a chance to explain. It hurts a little that she's so ready to think that someone is going to hurt her.. but I understand that Hew-kun and her have had a very difficult life together." Midori says soberly, trying to push the thoughts of romance out of her mind - especially since it wasn't helping at all. Her heart was still beating more quickly than normal.

'Well, you have my attention now.' he displays after a slight pause, giving her a chance to read it before pulling her into a playful kiss.

Igni, I can't say I understand what you are going through without lying. But I am willing to be your friend and help you find your place in this new life you have been forced into.

there is nothing good about keeping everything bottled up. sometimes it is best to let it out. I use music to release my frustration and to express many of my feelings that I can't quite vocalize in other ways.

Mel pulls out a blank sheet of paper, and grabs a pencil. So share with me what is on your mind. I will take notes and I will try to come up with a song just for you.

It is a long flight, well it seems like a long flight, are you sure you can fly that long. I know I can't but I've always wanted to try.

Lang remembers what he needs to tell her Oh, please bring something nice to wear and we will be spending the night at a shrine along the way, so you will need some bedding. And when we are there , I have something really neat I want to show you. unless you don't like hot steam

Lang's spirits are getting better as the time to leave gets closer.

"I... Alright. I'll explain the best i can. I've been trained from a young age to be a milatary leader. I'm conditioned to feel next to nothing, and only care about tactics. I never spoke out against it, as it is... Well, see this?"
igni creates a blue flame in his hand.
"This is why. I'm a bit of a prodigy. This fire is more powerful then normal, and I've had it since i was very little. Someone like me presuming a goal other then leadership, i would be rejected very fast. Never have liked trying to lead. I'm not too wise, I'm not too smart."

Mel listens to Igni tell his story with interest., wanting to know all she can about this normally silent firebird.

That fire is beautiful actually. But I guess I don't fully understand why you would be rejected, just because you make blue fire? I mean so what. It's what makes you, well, you. You have a gift and so long as you are using that gift for good then what is the problem?

As for being not so smart, Well I am not seeing it.

Mel move a bit closer to Igni trying to give him a feeling of comfort and security. Look, Igni, You have a talent, A gift sctually. Its more than what I have. Heck even Dom can move water around, all I do is sing and play guitar. I'm not anyone with a special power, but I try to use talent I do have. I don't want to let anyone tell me I can't use it. Heck I can fool myself into believing that just fine on my own.

I think it's time to toss aside the past, look to your future. Decide what it is you want out of your life. Stop living what what others syaing you should be. And if you should stumble along the way, well I'll be there to give you a hand to help you up, as will all of us that call you a friend.

"What do i like to do? This."
he pulls up the blade he's been working on.
"I was always taught such a simple task isn't befitting of someone of my stature. I was meant to lead, according to them. i hate it, but years and years of training is hard to defy. Under stress, i wind up doing what I'm trained to do..."
igni sighs
"Look, I'll try and lighten up, but no promises."

First thing is to believe in yourself. Whant you are doing is very special, I consider myself nearly a genius, but I can't do what you are doing. Be proud of that skill, It is definately not a simple task. If anyone tries to tell you different just send them my way, I'll straighten them out she says with a bit of pride and a reassuring smile.

I may have some songs for you Igni, but I want to go through the selections and pick the right one. also I currently cannot access you tube right now and the song I am looking for is not in Grooveshark


Male Humanoid

Looking over as Asha and Rena walk in the 18th Century English manor living room with corresponding exterior views, Tryko'Sam stands up nodding in thanks to Tybalt's last comments, "Just the wizard, but these girls are welcome too. How goes ladies?"

Tryko'Sam waves at Asha and Rena as they enter through the doorway, he's all cleaned up and dressed casual.

Maya rises up from her seat and smiles lightly in a silent greeting.

"I... Hmm."
igni works on the weapon! not sure what to say.

Tybalt pads away from the doorway to afford the large dragonesque creature and Firebird, deftly maneuvering the large stick around objects, not knocking anything over despite being very close to them. He leaves perfectly shaped frosty paw prints on the ground where he steps which fade after a moment.
Asha will notice two things in specific about the cat person, one: the room in nominally colder near him and two: the moderately sized gold belt buckle on his jeans bears the same emblem as the clothes she found in the lost and found.
"Hi." He says with a nod and a smile to the newcomers.

Ace and Ginni finish their pieces of cake, then suddenly Ace chuckles "Ya know we totally just had dessert before dinner, but I am hungry enough to eat an actual meal. I can't remember if I had lunch or not"

He gets up and throws their plates out, then asks "Want me to get you anything, or would you rather join me?"

Forgot to add, he will wait for Nala to port out first. When she arrives at the headmaster's office, one of Ryuzo's clones is there waiting to run interference, and it bows to her on arrival. Ryuzo himself will arrive shortly thereafter.

Mel tries to get a look at Igni's face.

Did you just smile? I thought I saw a smile there, She tries to poke Igni's cheek to see if he did smile.

anyway I think I have song for you but you will have to wait till I'm all recovered before you can hear it.

She still is trying to see if Igni is in fact trying to hold back a little smile.

After leaveing Ephebe's office, feeling a little better but not fully, Lang heads back to where he saw Sara before, outside Zilla's room.

If she isn't therre Lang instead knocks on Zilla's door

I hope Zilla is alright with me

igni chuckles just a little as you poke his face.

Zilla looks back toward that door to her room as she hears the knock. "Huh I thought Ignance would just come in." she shrugs just before hopping to he feet. Slowly she saunters over to the door. She opens the door asking. "Ignance why didn't you just come in. Oh!" She ends seeing Lang.

Mel smiles See, I knew there was a happy Igni in there someplace. she says feeling a little bubbly.

Mel climbs back into her hospital bed, makes herself comfortable. You know Igni. I am glad you stayed here. helping you feel better has made me feel better as well. Thanks for staying and putting up with all of my wackiness Mel's expression does little to hide a little inner joy at having a friend with her.
