"Well, I guess I'd need to be polymorphed or something first... I don't exactly have a species after all, I'm one of a kind." While the words might sound a bit prideful, Rena says them simply and without hint of postering. "I don't reproduce... I'm not even technically female, but it's easier to identify as such."
"I will take your word on the intimacy and feeling good portions, and say that I will try it at some point, perhaps." she sorta 'shrugs' her wings, or at least, they go up and down at their base. Probably a shrug, she does pick up some humanoid habits after a while.
She obviously not rushed or all that interested in it, though that may be as previous mentioned, lack of natural instinct to reproduce. "So, do you want to stay in town just in case? You didn't seem too sure when Vai said she couldn't see anything."
Chuckling at her comment about just being 'polymorphed or something first...' Tryko'Sam adds, "Sure, easy enough solution. Just throw some magic onto it." Grinning he then looks around the alley and town near them and exhales.
"Yeah, suppose we could roam around for a bit. You hungry or something, or is that just ... for shits and giggles?"
He starts out of the alley, still dripping a bit wet. "This'll dry eventually-- just need to stand in the sun a few. As for Vai's comment and my reactions, what can I do? I suppose I could sit somewhere and look around a ton, but, you saw how that thing used the environment against us in a fight. I'm pretty sure if we find other ones, they'll be equally sneaky. This memory thing is getting more and more annoying, honestly. Just the loss, you know?"
He scratched his head with a doubfounded look plastered on his face. "Plolitics keep you family apart." A deep saddness welled inside him. He had realized that it would be politics that keep Tami and him apart. "So it was politics that kept your family from meeting. Well If you want me to try running interference so you have more time I will help."
"I don't think you coud slw my dad down much, but thanks for the offer anyway. Let's just get some music playing and enjoy the party."
"Well you would be surprised at what I'm capable of. The offer still stands though." Dom smiles to Raelle. "May I have the next dance?" He asks while he bows. Slowly he takes Raelle's hand and only releases If she says no.
"It's okay, Dara. Nobody is going to make you go flying again. Sorry, Sun. Dara had a bad experience the last time someone took him flying. He's too scared now. Also, he doesn't talk."Dara looked even more terrified and backed away further from Sun when he mentions flying.Sun looks on and smiles
Chara, Midori and Sara asked me to have you go to the Home ec room. Sara's teddy is making Yukky-Ta's for a Tea party and they said they needed you there. Oh yeah the teddy bear talks and moves now, I don't know why or how but it does so don't be scared of it okay?
Sun then looks to Dara hi Dara, I'm Sun. I am a friend of Chara and I am also a companion to Lang. he sometimes takes Chara out flying. he might be able to take you flying too but not right now since he is not here.
Sun just frowns. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I guess I screwed up again.
Sun looks back at Dara don't worry You don't have to ever fly if you don't want to. Lang would never force anyone to do that. but I sometimes play hide and seek with with Chara. maybe we can play that instead

Ace nods at Mel's apology. "Its ok, I was just excited. I've wanted to be in a band for a long time, though perhaps not quite playing this style of music. Not that there's anything wrong with what you play, but I prefer mine much louder and harder. Don't worry about me though, if there's anything I truly excel at, its adapting to overcome life's challenges, no matter how large or small they might be."
Mel smiles at Ace. she is definitely warming up to him.
i know that some of my music could be considered ahhh. girly, but I am a girl after all. but I don't mind a bit of rock as well. Just the other day Belyu and me were jamming together. wait I got a better idea let me show you.
Mel moves toward the stage winking to Dom along the way as she grabs her guitar. and she starts her guitar jam inviting Dom or Ace or even Taron to join her
What started as a light heart'ed joke that quickly spiraled into a raging argument, have had an direct affect on Carl, after the starting exchanges and the sword flash, being this close to anger and feelings like that.. Carl had turned his back on the three, as if hiding his face, then he started to hold onto a work bench, trying to force whatever was affecting him back. You notice objects close to him seem to move as if trying to get to him, you can feel the pull, waves of force coming off him, the area around him getting heaver, then at the command for Arthur to at last be quiet, it slowly fades and stops as the anger levels in the room drop, and Carl seems to have control, he turns around.
The look on his face is profoundly pained even pleading, he says in a voice full of effort and struggle, tears can be seen in his eyes.
"I am sorry about that lass's, sometimes being around anger an danger... it affects me in a bad ways, its why I am here, to find help me with my problem."
Now its gone, Carl wipes away the triers, and gives a one sided grin, as if trying shaking off the event before he gets to down beat.
Aananda looked pale and turned around for a moment before turning back, still pale but more in control.
"Right. Well, I'm glad that you got that under control, Carl. We were extremely close to having the wards kick in and I'm not sure I can handle another bout of teleportation sickness. Not to mention the damage to my lab. Meditation class is mandatory for you."
"Hermes, you are so duly recognized as a sentient being with everything that entails. Which means you are completely responsible for your own actions, regardless of your programming. Living creatures, no matter whether they are biologic or not, are capable of adapting. You can't have it both ways."
"Arthur, if you pick fights everywhere you go, you're going to have a very unpleasant experience here. I promised your father we'd keep you safe, not that we'd coddle you."
"Vai, I really need you to hurry with that potion. And we need to have another talk about reining in your temper."
Dennis pulled a chair over to her and she sat down gratefully. "Thank you, Dennis."
"Alright, boys, I am in the middle of a few projects here so the quick rundown on Avalon. Place your hand on a wall and think of where you want to go and arrows will appear to guide you to your destination. Get used to using this system. The rooms move. You have already been assigned a room. There should be a catalog of available classes in your room. Figure out what schedule you want by tomorrow so I can sign you up for classes before Monday. I already explained about the wards. Any questions?"
Sun just frowns. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I guess I screwed up again.
Sun looks back at Dara don't worry You don't have to ever fly if you don't want to. Lang would never force anyone to do that. but I sometimes play hide and seek with with Chara. maybe we can play that instead
Dara nods and makes a hand motion which causes the word 'Maybe' to hang in the air over his glove.
He turns and glares at Settro, looking at Chara and shaking his head. He points at Settro and signs something else.
'Not nice. Takes without asking.'
"Well you would be surprised at what I'm capable of. The offer still stands though." Dom smiles to Raelle. "May I have the next dance?" He asks while he bows. Slowly he takes Raelle's hand and only releases If she says no.
"Sure, but be warned, I do not have the best sense of rhythm and you are likely to get your toes trodden on," she quipped as she joined him on the dance floor.
"Oh, good, it looks like Ace and Melody are getting along. I think we can stop pretending to be so engrossed in our conversation now." she whispered to Tami.
"Dave put it to sleep quick! You can do Charm Monster right?"
"What? You wanted your fear? Fine."
he withdraws his tail.
"I'm leaving. You don't make any sense."
"What? You wanted your fear? Fine."
he withdraws his tail.
"I'm leaving. You don't make any sense."
Dara shook his head.
'Nice people ask first. Taking without asking is bad.'
"Sure, because you would have let me anywhere near you to take it, unless you weren't afraid of me."
"Sure, because you would have let me anywhere near you to take it, unless you weren't afraid of me."
'Maybe. Chara said you were nice. Should ask. Not just take.'
"Hmm. I suppose. It's a little difficult when i can feel your fear. How can I explain? Ug, nevermind. I might as well just wait outside.
Vai looked defiant for a moment at her mother, but then she noticed Carl's ability, and her angry bled away like so much hot air, leaving Vai's lip trembling slightly. She vanishes in a slightly dazzling burst of light.
She doesn't immediately go to Razule, instead appearing in her room and sinking onto her bed, and bursting into tears. She had to fight against her instincts. She couldn't afford to lose her temper like that, even to such an arrogant bastard.
Sun just frowns. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I guess I screwed up again.
Sun looks back at Dara don't worry You don't have to ever fly if you don't want to. Lang would never force anyone to do that. but I sometimes play hide and seek with with Chara. maybe we can play that instead
Dara nods and makes a hand motion which causes the word 'Maybe' to hang in the air over his glove.
He turns and glares at Settro, looking at Chara and shaking his head. He points at Settro and signs something else.
'Not nice. Takes without asking.'
Sun just shrugs well at least that isn't a no
Sun looks to Chara Midori and Sara are waiting.
Sun turns to Settro I think you can eat his fear or whatever later. okay?
"I was just trying to calm him down. Fear... Gah, I'll explain later."
with that he walks out and lingers outside the door.
"Well you would be surprised at what I'm capable of. The offer still stands though." Dom smiles to Raelle. "May I have the next dance?" He asks while he bows. Slowly he takes Raelle's hand and only releases If she says no."Sure, but be warned, I do not have the best sense of rhythm and you are likely to get your toes trodden on," she quipped as she joined him on the dance floor.
"Don't worry just follow my lead and I'll heal myself later." He quipped as they started to dance to Melody's song.
A little confused at the room where no room has ever been, Wyrd gathers up his harvest and stands, steps around the strange vessel in the middle of the room, and melts into the wall on the other side.
Chuckling at her comment about just being 'polymorphed or something first...' Tryko'Sam adds, "Sure, easy enough solution. Just throw some magic onto it." Grinning he then looks around the alley and town near them and exhales.
"Yeah, suppose we could roam around for a bit. You hungry or something, or is that just ... for s%#*s and giggles?"

This memory thing is getting more and more annoying, honestly. Just the loss, you know?"
"No not hungry. Are you? Do you even need to eat?" Rena asks seriously, following him out of the alleyway. Fortunately for our serpent, most of the wetness had rolled right off her feathers.
"We could ask Vare to Wish your memories back... but wishcraft is /very/ dangerous, and has unpredictable consequences, so it's probably not worth it. I'm not even sure he would agree to do so. Maybe we could find that mental healer that Vai was talking about?" Rena asks curiously as they look around the street after the sudden cenralized rainstorm.

Maybe we could find that mental healer that Vai was talking about?" Rena asks curiously as they look around the street after the sudden cenralized rainstorm.
"Hungry? No. Not feeling it right now. From what I figure-- probably not."
While walking along with Rena he peers around in his wet clothing and such, hands behind his back as he strolls.
"Avoiding dangerous is probably a good idea. Given lack of prediction, more pass. Mental healer? I don't recall ... I mean, if the memories aren't in my fleshy bits, how's someone going to heal it? You'd have to pluck memories out of somewhere else-- like the past. That's more Ephebe's bag, right? Plus, randomly testing theories out? no point. I can adapt."
Ace, still in the form of the ravishing red haired woman, lets out a yell when Melody starts to perform "YEA!! This is more like it!!". 'She' begins to rock out 'herself', really getting into the music.
When Melody finishes, 'she' high fives her. "That was awesome!!, Do you mind if try my hand? Show you the kinda music I like?"
Melody motions to invite the ravishing red haired girl on stage and hands her a guitar once there.
"I was just trying to calm him down. Fear... Gah, I'll explain later."
with that he walks out and lingers outside the door.
"I still think you're nice, Mr. Settro," Chara says cheerfully as they leave to head for the home ec room. "But Dara is right. It's polite to ask first. Mama says there is no excuse for bad manners," she added primly, followed by a mischievous smile that strongly suggested that she often gave her mother reason to use this particular saying.
"Don't worry just follow my lead and I'll heal myself later." He quipped as they started to dance to Melody's song."Well you would be surprised at what I'm capable of. The offer still stands though." Dom smiles to Raelle. "May I have the next dance?" He asks while he bows. Slowly he takes Raelle's hand and only releases If she says no."Sure, but be warned, I do not have the best sense of rhythm and you are likely to get your toes trodden on," she quipped as she joined him on the dance floor.
Raelle is actually a surprisingly good dancer, as long as she's not thinking about what she's doing. The minute she thinks about dancing she's suddenly terrible and his toes get crunched more than once, but as long as he can keep her thinking about something else it's not too bad.
"Sorry about your toes," she said apologetically when the song was over.
"sorry, I enjoy intellectual discussions, and no one tries harder to defend their topic than when its one of their personal beliefs, ethics discussions, I'm sorry if i took it too far, should I apologize to her, uh later I mean?"
"Yes, you should definitely apologize later. In general baiting people into incivility is a bad way to make friends," she said dryly.
"Alright, boys, unless you have questions for me, I suggest you go find your room, and explore the school a bit. I have work to do, and not nearly enough energy to do it all."
"Woo! That was awesome, Mel!" Ginni yelled out.
"Show us what you've got, babe!" she shouted when Ace took the stage, a big grin on her face.
"Ah right," his stomach rumbles "ah one more question, when do we eat?"
"When you find the cafeteria. It's dinnertime now so there should be plenty of food available. They do keep snacks available at all hours though, so you don't have to worry about going hungry if you ever miss a mealtime."
Ace politely declines Mel's guitar "No thanks. Not gonna show off my instrumental skills. Instead, I wanna show off my vocal range, and uh, some special skills I can bring to our band." He jumps up on stage, and programs the sim band.
He then sings both Chester and Mike's parts. Also, through the use of illusions, he adds in all the special effects, including the flames.
Mel can't help but start to dance to the song grabbing Dom to dance with her.
she is really getting into the music.
after the song Yeah! we are going to be awesome!
ideas a flying through her head.. not wanting to loose them she pulls out her datapad and starts pounding away. jotting lyrics and music like crazy.
turning to Ace, That was an awesome vocal range I already have ideas to meld what you got with myself and Ginni's once I get all my thoughts on this together I'll show you and Ginni what i have in mind

Ginni laughed. "Well, I think Melody is definitely a fan. You sounded great. Singing harmony with yourself...that's a pretty neat trick."
"Is...is it okay for me to give constructive criticism or should I just keep it to myself?" she asked, biting her lip nervously.
He grins big at the praise "Thanks! I'm glad you liked my performance, and just in case you were wondering, yes, I can nail a female voice as well. You want me on bass guitar, right? or was it rhythm?"
When Ginni asks her question, he replies "Of course you can sweetie. I'm a big boy, I can handle it, I promise". He smiles reassuringly at her.

When Ginni asks her question, he replies "Of course you can sweetie. I'm a big boy, I can handle it, I promise". He smiles reassuringly at her.
"That's kind of one of the songs FAIN is known for and vocally you sound different enough that it's not a problem....but performing it while looking like a smoking hot redheaded female and doing fire effects really invites comparisons between you and their lead singer and that doesn't work in your favor. You're good. Fieri is playing in a whole different league. Her band can barely keep up anymore. You'll get more positive attention for your own performance if you distance your look and performance style from her more."
"That didn't sound mean, did it? I was really trying not to sound mean," she said, looking nervous.
Ace chuckles "Ha! Good point! I guess I do kinda look enough like Fieri for a comparison. Totally didn't even think about that. Was way too caught up in the moment. Also, had no idea that was one of their songs. I chose it because it allowed me to show off what else I can bring to the band, beyond musical talent. Of course, fire is just what fits that song, and I can do plenty of other stuff. Let me show you what I mean"
Before that though, he gives her a hug "Not mean at all, Love"
Ace morphs back into his normal form then begins a new song, with lots of crazy sound effects. One

"Sorry about your toes," she said apologetically when the song was over.
Dom laughs a bit. "No problem. I have had a lot worse on my toes and your really light. You should have seen Mel learning to dance when she was younger. I don't think I could walk right for a month." Dom glances to Mel and smiles. "Your not that bad at dancing if your not worrying about if your dancing well." He tells her as he looks back.
"Ok whats with the male voice with the body? Is that not a polymorph spell." Dom asks Raelle, not really expecting her to be able to answer.
Call nods
"Right Ye are mam medication classes, I,ll no take up any more of thee time"
Carl follows Aurthur outside the lab, then places his hand on the wall, he seem to be thinking hard, then a line shows on the wall with arrows moving along it.
"Right, lets get sum it to eat, less said about what happened da better" he heads off following the arrows.
Needless to say, Hermes follows behind Arthur.
dave casts an augmented slumber power at the beast
if it doesn't work he throws another volley of magic missles at it
Carl gets the Lunch hall, looking around he sees o few others, then walks over to the buffia and starts loading up a large plate, he also takes a tanked of Ail. Taking a seat he starts eating looking around at the others there.
Dave's power burrows deep into the remorhaz's mind, making it collaspe as sleep takes it compketely.
"Well done, Dave."
