"I can try to teach you some magic if you want, Mel. Just the simple stuff that makes life easier."
He dons his bear hoodie, not zipping it, leaving his chest exposed.
Tybalt Baneko |
"They'd teach full real magic though, I'm just talking about simple stuff. Not going very far. You don't need to know why it happens, just how to make it happen. I have no clue how this works. As far as I'm concerned, magic is just about wanting something and letting yourself have it."
1d20 + 16 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 + 3 = 28 Sense motive I forgot earlier.
Tybalt Baneko |
"I'm just saying that I can teach her magic without her having to take a class slot for it. If she doesn't want full on throwing spells around, I could teach her the simple stuff without needing to do the complicated stuff later."
Tybalt Baneko |
"None of it really matters if you don't want to learn magic, though Mel. Just a friendly offer."
He flops down into his pile of cushions that occupies the space a bed should.
"You guys can make some chairs and stuff if you want."
He looks at Pyry.
"If you don't have something important to do."
His tone suggests that he's joking, but with a bit of seriousness in his tone.
"I can and will carry you to the office."
Silinrul |
Sil can't help but smile at Ehos' suggestion "That would be great, Ehos, thanks" At this point, his large grey wolf pads quietly into the room, with the ghostly raven flying alongside.
The shaman scratches his friend's ears, and gives him a big hug. "We're gonna be spending the night in here. Now, now, don't complain, it should only be just for tonight. I promise to get a giant raw steak for dinner." The canine licks Silinrul's face in agreement.

Mel listened for a bit. you guys know I'm right here, you are talking like....ahhh nevermind. anyway, I never was interested in magic, I get too sciency and try to prove it through science, ends up being rather ugly. I'm happy with who I am. besides, as you pointed out earlier Tybs, I seem to be doing all sorts of new stuff lately, especially since I like died and came back earlier today.
Mel finishes her drink. Soooo, what are we going to do now?
Tybalt Baneko |
"Oh, is that a challenge? Hmm?"
He raises his eyebrows at Pyry. These being white marks above his eyes with a few whiskers poking out.
"Maybe you'll end up with magic whether you want it or not. Either way, do you maybe want to take a look at lighting the band costumes while you're here?"
He gestures to the black suits hanging in his closet.
"Mel's brother, Dave and I have formed a band. Since I'm not comfortable with... pyrotechnics... I'm trying to see if we can make it up with electric or magic cold light instead." He explains to the others.
Tybalt Baneko |
"You asked for it."
In less than a blink of an eye, Pyry is tackled from behind into the cushion pile where Tybalt had been a moment before.
"Your ticklish, aren't you?"
While not trying to harm him, he's trying to make him laugh, furiously targeting his under arms, etc.
I can give you a roll if you really want it, but I think this works. Tybs isn't really going for damage, but I think that with sneak attack dice, he has a good idea of the areas to target for an involuntary laugh response.
Arthur Barren |
"sure lights seem easy, though shielding them against temperature extremes might take a little extra time, but certainly doable,"
he looks to Pyryv "now then let's not be fighting, I'd hate to get involved"
Arthur's hands grow much larger and are wrapped in metal "that goes for both of you,"
Tybalt Baneko |
Tybalt only does this for a moment before ending his assualt on the younger ice creature.
"Chill out Fisty. Just having some fun."
He sticks his tongue out at Arthur in the way he does.
After finding out Pyry is ticklish, he let's him go and helps him up out of the pile.
"So you are. Good to know, Cold Feathers."
He gives him one more quick poke in the belly, punctuating the nickname that Lamai had given him.
Moving this here to help flow.
Arthur Barren |
Arthur shrinks his hands I really need to get some non, potentially lethal abilities, just grabbing people and shaking them around is kinda limited around here ... well ones that work on regular people other than robots and shapeshifters "sorry, about that" he rubs the back of his head
Tybalt Baneko |
"No big. Just maybe don't jump to trying to fix things yourself here. The wards take care of it if it needs to be stopped. No need to bother with it yourself."
He gives a long stretch, flashing his belly through the open jacket, before flopping back down to the soft pile.
He repositions an Animal Plush behind his head.
Melody Waverider |
when Tyb's mentioned the clothes Mel was already buring herself in the closet and after a bit she emerges holding one of the costumes.
I think this is one of them! Oh no need to worry about the temerature thing, remember? the Klien shield thing.
So what color lights? red and orange. looks like fake fire?
Tybalt Baneko |
"No, I was thinking more along the lines of green, blue, purple. More icy stuff. They wanted to know if they could change colors song to song."
Melody produces Tybalt's costume: a vest, loose pants, thumb to elbow sleeves, all black.
Along lines of the fabric, there are white lines traced about an inch thick for the light patterns to follow.
Basically the new Tron style.
Tybalt Baneko |
Tybalt is in fact distracted by showing Mel the patterns he wants the lights to follow.
Asha Soleil |
Asha had been standing in the corner drinking her cocoa when the play fighting started. But she'd never seen play fighting before and...well, someday maybe she'd stop jumping like a rabbit at every sign of violence, but today was not that day.
She was still blushing from the awkward encounter with Tybalt's neighbor after she fell through the wall when she knocked on Tybalt's door.
"I fell through the wall," she said, embarrassed, when someone opened the door for her.
Tybalt Baneko |
Tybalt doesn't look away from the clothing work.
One finger snaps at the door which opens itself to let Asha in.
The other looses a blast of cold energy toward Pyry from his palm.
Is that snowball as per the spell? This is Arcane Bolt.
9d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 6, 5, 2, 6, 3, 1, 1) = 28Cold damage if it matters. I assume it won't hurt him, ice bird and all.
"Sorry Asha. Forgot you startle easily. You'll get used to the craziness eventually."
Tybalt Baneko |
"Can you make snow? I can't do snow. I can't get it small enough. It always ends up as hail."
He looks up at the costume at Pyry now. He thinks about the word hail for a moment before taking the snowball off of his back and taking a bite of it.
"Ace" |
Ace overhears Julie's request for hot cocoa and makes his way to the Cafe. He returns soon with two large mugs and a small bag of marshmallows. "There's a fair amount in each cup, but I brought more, just in case" He says, flashing a grin, as he hands over the drinks to Julie.
Once done, he finds a small, out of the way spot nearby and pulls out a book from one of his belt pouches and proceeds to read.
DM of the coins |
Nurse Julie accepts the mugs with a smile. it seems Julie is making some progress with Morrivan.
She brings the mugs over and sets them on a table and brings the table beside the bed.
You will have to sit up, so you don't spill any.
She opens the bag of marshmallows and scoops a small handful dumping some into each mug.
This is cozy, isn't it. So, tell me a little about yourself. Julie's voice is pleasant and sincere.
Melody Waverider |
Mel starts looking through the seems of the costume and examines every thread. she seems engrossed in her work.
she starts entering data into her data pad. and soon a 3D image of the costume appears. she starts fiddling with designs. the image looks way more scientific (like tech plans for some battle suit) than a fashion design.
suddenly a revelation. I'll need to look at the algorithms, but I think its doable. Mel says rather excitedly.
Lang Fei |
Lang leads those that want the quick tour of the temple up the stairs through the Paifang.
I think I already told you about this. The Paifang
following a short but winding path Lang brings everyone to a small gated wall separating the next section of the temple.
in front of the gate (which is actually just an archway rather than a gate) is a stone wall that must be navigated around before passing through the gate.
Lang stops at the wall.
This is called A Yǐngbì or Zhàobì, a shadow wall, it is a screen wall that is placed at the front of the temple to stop ghosts or evil spirits from entering. The idea is that evil spirits cannot turn corners, and so the wall screens the main entrance. This particular wall is of the Nine Dragon design, it is to signify that this temple is dedicated to all the elements and is sponsored by all of the bending communities.
Tybalt Baneko |
"I don't know what that means, but sounding doable works for me. Do you have a time frame in mind?" He smiles contentedly.
Back to Pyry.
"That's better than me. I can make hail clouds, but it would be really great if we could work out how to make snow clouds. It would be really helpful for cooling down when it's hot. Hail doesn't help then. It's just kind of painful a little."
Agarthian Storyteller |
A man dressed in a simple black suit approaches the gate and, after it opens, walks into the school and begins to walk the halls, looking around with marked apathy for the design.
"What does a person have to do to get assistance around here?" He asks aloud, having explored most of the school by now.

A blonde headed youth, around 15 or so pokes his head around the corner.
"You need help, mister?"
Pyry Soleil |
"I don't know what that means, but sounding doable works for me. Do you have a time frame in mind?" He smiles contentedly.
Back to Pyry.
"That's better than me. I can make hail clouds, but it would be really great if we could work out how to make snow clouds. It would be really helpful for cooling down when it's hot. Hail doesn't help then. It's just kind of painful a little."
"Yeah... But at least it's still cold, so it doesn't hurt me as much, I guess."
"Are you okay, Sis?" He asks Asha.

Mel looks at Tybs with sudden confusion Time doesn't fit in a frame silly, it's more like....kinda like, well... from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey... stuff. mel says looking even more "confused".
shaking her head, anyway, I think Dom makes snow. or maybe that was also hail too...anyway ask Dom about snow stuff.
well Tybs' you made the segway so I had to fit it in...
Gavin Trell |
"Lad, I've been around the world enough times I've forgotten. What about you? Where are you from?"
"I'm from..." his brow furrows a bit, and he shakes his head.
"I think I used to know...but I don't remember, exactly. It's a little complicated, I guess." he says, lost in thought, but quickly recovers. "But I like it here so far."
How he ended up here, I'm not entirely sure, yet. ;)
