Fei spots several fakes and one of the real targets - up in a tree, secured by vines so it can't fall out when the tree moves to bat away students.

While one clones fails to locate anything other than a path bordered by surprisingly mobile rose bushes, the other spots a potted plant that almost matches the description given. Unfortunately, while there are blue patterns ont he petals, the petals themselves are pink and not red.

Looking for a 28. Which means Kitty was this close to spotting one right off the bat. When you do get a 28, I'll post where the plany you saw is.

Uh oh.

The roots snap away from Ryuso quickly after being chewed on, but return with a vengeance in moments. The fact they have sharp thorns now reinforces the feeling the plants are very angry.

Professor Agave steps back into the plants, disappearing completely, as the students begin their search. Several of the students have already gotten into trouble and are trying to break free of vines or make their way through patches of briar and blackberry bushes.

Ryuzo finds himself being harassed by roots that try to wrap around him and hold him in place.

Kitty raised her hand. "Professor Agave? Ummm...how do we recognize which are the correct potted plants?"

"An excellent question, since I put some fakes around the garden as a trick. You are looking for a red flower with blue stripes on the petals."

Not to be disrespectful, but this seems a bit boring. Are you sure this is going to be challenging enough?

"You know, I think you're right. A scavenger hunt seems a little... juvenile." Professor Agave admits. Then she claps her hands together as if she's had an idea. "That's it! Such a simple solution!"

She waves her hand at one of the larger trees in the garden and a branch shoots down to snatch up an unwary student.

"Did I forget to mention the plants in this garden will hinder you every step of the way? Don't hurt them though, they can be very temperamental and this bright new sun has made them very energetic. Don't worry though, my friends know not to hurt students. Badly."

I am never going near the gymnasium ever ever again.

They are in the gardens right now, not the gymnasium. You're still safe inside.

"Because now that all of you are here, I can explain how Advanced P.E is going to work today." A halfling woman dressed in stained and weathered gardening clothes says as she steps out of the vegetation. "For those of you who do not know who I am, I am Professor Adsila Agave. Since I'm filling in today for Professor Sunwake, and I can't throw rocks around like she can, you are going to be looking for one of four potted plants placed somewhere in this garden. You can team up or try to find one alone. Any questions?" She asks with a smile.

"I'll send them word. Go along now, you won't be counted late this time since you didn't know." With another smile, the gnome closes the office door.

"Hmm, I didn't here anything about it. Let me check." She leaves for a moment, then comes back looking slightly confused. "Apparently Professor Sunwake is busy with a very important matter. Advanced P.E will be taking place in the gardens today."

The three of them got to the office and Kitty knocked on the door.

A gnome opens the door and smiles warmly at the group of four.

"Hello dearies, what can I help you with?" She asks.

I'm not sure if Hypercognition(Link) is the power you're looking for.

Hm, no good. Move along, nothing to see here.

Great. Are we going to have the students murder each other in the showers? Stack the odds against the brightest ones? Force them to accidentally commit xenocide?

Excellent! It's about time we stopped employing weakling Agarthian teaching methods!

If they were going to do that, they would have done that for the normal Hunts.

Wow! When you guys get together as a group you really are monsters! :D

And now I get to design a new villain. How fun. ^.^

There is a reason there are supposed to be mooks and minions, you know.

That's 329 points of damage before the crit. Go Fei!

Aww..... you guys are so lucky. If anything, I have to make my kids.

Who then go on an adventure involving a theme park that is more than it appears, a tiny rust monster that gives advice, a really big whale, and a Nymph in a blue dress.

They don't all have four kids. Ephebe is having four kids, but Ryleh and Aananda did not to my knowledge. Hence the quadruplets being a surprise.

It was a surprise becaue they were using protection.

In the tunnels or at the net?

It's a net. Cut carefully.

He's the Champion of Wrath if I remember correctly.

Chuckles and also waves hello to those familiar to him. He grabs a smaller portion (not by much) and sits down next to Ephebe and begins to eat.

Whispers that the fabled Sunwake appetite is contagious begin to go around the cafeteria as people see the amount of food Krays is getting ready to eat.

You know you were thinking it.

Slick sits back on his hindquarters and tilts his head to one side, trying to figure out just what these big creatures are.

Yay, Mister Vakkler's back!

Oh look, fresh meat for the grinder! Welcome to the recruitment thread, where your character and concept will be mercilessly ripped apart, stomped on, put into a washing machine, burnt to ash in the oven, and used to keep aphids off the roses before we let you play.

Disclaimer: Processing may not be as harsh as that. Maybe.

"Ummm...someone turned the world inside out? There are good-guy dragons who made the world and bad-guy dragons who may be coming to attack it? There's something out there in the sky...the sky just keeps going now....Nope, I sound as totally confused as I am."

"That makes two of us then." Michael sighs. "I want to know how this happened, but I've got stuff to do too, like get these rocks of Anthony's analyzed and start work on his familiar. It's pretty late though... want me to walk you to your room?"

*crickets* or *awkward silence* take your pick.

Must... resist urge... to save Ephebe...

The crowd murmured loudly, sounds of discontent and anger coming to a boil.

"And why should we believe the bird thing, eh?"

"Yeah, that's right, the only thing we need protected from is that dem school!"

"We ain't gonna stand for it anymore!"

"YEAH!!!"

Likified.

"Y-yes sir! Right away!" The cadet replies, starting to send word to Fivain before remembering Tamrin was still on the line. "Is there anything else, sir?"

"Um, sir?" Tamrin hears a timid voice from his wrist comm. "I've got a report here... Fain said I should get used to using the comms and this might be a bit of good news, didn't say why..."

"Ahem. Approximately one half-hour ago, an assassination attempt was carried out against the Dragon Emeperor Mezzenbone." The new recruit says, voice becoming more stable now that he's reading off the report. "While the attempt failed Mezzenbone was caught off-guard and wounded to the point security has been increased quite a bit. Various reports state that the would-be assassins numbered anywhere between four and fifteen people and incapacitated several guards without raising any of the alarms. A substantial reward has been issued for their capture, and it doubles if they are brought in alive."

This should be interesting...

Gotta go in like 2 minutes. Hope the mob gets pushed back in a funny way while I'm gone!

That dragon is one clever little parasite...

This is a great discussion.

"For you, yes. Aim carefully now!"

"Okay, kids, it's time to practice for interplanetary defense! Pick up a dodgeball and aim for the nearest misguided townsfolk you can find! Don't hold back now, cause they won't!"

You should try Agartha. We're a game, rules-light and role-play focused, that let's everyone take the GM reigns at one point or another. Always accepting new players so, if the Campaign Info catches you're interesting, post in the recruitment thread!

This all started during dinner, which means classes were over for the day.

"Miss Tanaka?" Ormarr says as he places a hand on her shoulder, trying to get her attention. "You may leave now. Thank you for humming to the snakes. They enjoyed it."

What appears to be a recording of the Headmaster sounds over the PA, letting the students know they can leave Homeroom now.

Because a Quasit in the classroom after both a fiendish invasion and a cataclysm is going to keep people calm...

Several of the snakes calm down slowly as Kitty hums, swaying slightly to the sounds. Ormarr glances at Kitty for a moment, but then has to go pry a student away from a boa constrictor.

"Those of you who don't calm down right now will be coiled until you do. You are upsetting my snakes." Ormarr says as class becomes very loud. The settle down almost immediately. It wasn't fun being wrapped up in serpents.

"Calm down before you knock any vials over! I won't be fixing and mutations you give yourselves!" Razule warns.

Adsila says nothing. Instead she reaches out to her flowers and changes the scent they give off to carry a calming sensation through the air. Then she increases the strength ten-fold.

"Hey, O'Connell! It looks like I've got all the hoooor-ses!!!"

"Hey, Benny! It looks like you're on the wrong side of the riiii-ver!!!"

Gods I needed that (^-^)

+1 and lol!

I honestly can't remember that conversation.

I always thought the world was floating in the center and the Sun was up in the ceiling. You know, to represent actual orbit so the first people to come here didn't have to worry about getting used to a new day/night scheme.

Here is why that doesn't make sense to me.

How in the world was there a night time at all if the sun was in the center!?

The Rules of the Internet can be useful for plot. How else would a amethyst were-dragon fall for a cambion tiefling despite the fact fiends have been a pox on his family since before he was born?

"Sorry, Mr. Ormarr," she said, pulling the tongs away from Saffire and giving him a throwing star to chew on instead. "I'll try to keep him from eating your equipment."

"Don't worry about it. Just make sure no one loses any fingers." Ormarr says with a small grin before he turns to another student. "Mattiaus, I will not tell you again, if you irritate the boa it will bite and crush you!"

"I'm here Professor." Belyu says as she slips into the room. "Sorry I'm late, I was looking for someone."

"Not a problem, dear, just take a seat, presuming you can find one in this unruly mob. That seems to be everyone."

"This is unruly?" Belyu thinks as she moves through the 'mob'.

"Hi," she said, awkwardly. "Umm...wait...Saffire, no! That's not a toy," she said, diving after her wayward familiar as he started using a set of tongs as a teething toy. "I'm so sorry. He chews things when he gets nervous...well, more than usual anyways."

"Hell, Miss..." Ormarr takes a moment to look at his homeroom list. "Tanaka? Hello again, Saffire. Please don't eat my veterinary equipment. If you are interested in it I can always give you a check-up."
