"A blessing to meet you, Keme and I resent tha comentt, just cuz none dwarfs have a wee al-ca-frolic tolerance, dont mean its poison, it's just strong like."
Carl chuckles seeing the what was said as a well told joke about dwarf drinks.
"As for coin, I was in town not long ago and got some local mint."
Carl pulls out a small sack of coin,
"Won it in a drinking contest, seeing as the others could not talk, I won"
Again he chuckles.
"As for the head master, I'll after go see him at some point but, I only just got here and it's been a long trip, Tinman here will tell ya, he was awake most of it."
Raelle giggled.
"I'm pretty sure Taron is more than just an 'honorary' girl. I mean...I didn't mishear about there being more eggs in the hatchery right?"
"Hi, Vai. And no, Raelle, you didn't mishear at all." He says with a smile. "Though I won't be staying a girl forever. I find it a little... limiting, without going any further into detail."
Vai couldn't stop the laughter, though she did try, so it ended up as an unattractive *snrk* through her nose. She couldn't help but grin in spite of all. "Fair enough, big sister." Vai says with just a *touch* of sarcasm on the sister part, and a big grin.
Her ears twitch slightly as Tamina mentions the snack that had been set out, and she was reminded once again by a low growl that both her meals today had been interrupted. "Alright... I need snacks."
Vai digs in as they listen to the recording of Ginni, resurfacing once it's over and joining Tamina in the cheering.
"I didn't know you had such an amazing singing voice Ginni! That was fantastic!" Vai abandons the food table for the moment, having at least calmed her hunger for the moment.
"Who's the new girl?" Vai whispers to Morrivan, tilting her head to indicate Karla.
Ace flashes a big grin at Ehos and Jaiye "Well, it would seem things are at least somewhat ok tween you two. That's awesome. I figured I should talk to you three before I begin my own research. Care to join me in the library?"Phaezeriel looks to Ehos, ::Ehos, there is another task that I have been neglecting. I will stay linked to you two, and I will include Ace in the collective if he wants to be, but can you manage without me for a time?::
::Sure no problem Phaeze. You've helped me alot already and I really appreciate it.::
Ehos glances to Jaiye, and then back to Ace. Once again on the datapad: 'Jaiye is giving me a second chance. I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice. Sure, I'll come with you to the library.'
Sun, Chara and company arrive in the home ec room to find Midori and Cariban working to finish up Sara's yukata, with Sara also there, though whether or not she's helping is not immediately clear.
Midori stops her work and quickly steps over to greet the new people. "Thank you Sun-san! Hello Chara-chan! We were making a yukata for Sara-rin and we thought you would want one too."
To the people she hasn't been introduced yet, Midori turns to each of them in turn and bows before saying. "Hello, my name in Midori Tsuyomi. Hajime mashite." that last part almost seems reflexive. As if that's what ought to go along with an introduction.
::It's so beautiful,:: she said, almost reverently as she watched the pattern unfold before them.::Is this why you've never been inclined towards creating artwork? This...it's like having mobile artwork to watch whenever you please.::
::these creatures make this display to baffle predators and protect themselves :: sheess explains and then wraps his tail gently around her claw and swims foreward gently towing her under the mobile display, towards the heated vents under the reef
She shrugged. "Aside from the fact that I pretty much spent the entirety of summer break on paper making, I mostly just do it a little bit at a time. I work on it a little every single night."
"And yeah, if you have scrap paper you're already done with, by all means, send it my way. I need all the paper-making material I can get."
"I can show you my workshop if you want. It's attached to my room for easy access. It's fairly large...well, it has to be really."
"I shall do that and I would love to see your work shop. I have yet to see the process even though I use so much. I belive it would be interesting to see." He stops and thinks for a second before continueing. "Huh. I haven't even opened a book today. Let alone gathered a bit of data." He ponders this for a moment. "This is most intriguing to me. You seem to have triggered much change in my mind. Normally my first thought about seeing a process done is to learn about it. This time it was more a reason to be with you." He looks on as though he was a scientist that had found something that may lead to a break through.
Once Carl has done racking up he walks over to [Hellboy/Casseus]
"What ya say we takes um on as a team?, ill cover the wee bet"Carl puffs on his cigar and pulls out a bottle of Dwarf ale.
"Wee nip lad?"
Offering up the bottle.
"Hah! Offering a kid alchohol! I love Dwarves..."
He takes a swig, but his half giant and demonic metabolism blunts most of the enjoyment for him."Not bad."
He still takes a beer from Keme, though.
"Umm, who're the teams?"
Phaezeriel turns to Ace, ::Ace, before I leave, would you like to be part of the collective with myself, Ehos, and Jaiye? It can facilitate communication greatly.::
Grinning at Rena, the youth nods and bows after her asking his name with a hand to his chest, "Ah, please forgive me, that was my bad. I hadn't ever been approached by a sentient being in this manner before. I am known as Shaypeer Dunbarlokaratooki. I am a student of magical runes and talismans, but my greatest strength is if transformational magics."
Bow complete, greeting concluded, Shaypeer reaches out with his hands and that tome he'd had previously is return, apparently without much fanfare. He motions to a table and says, "I have in mind the shape of an angel, if you would care to review before accepting the change? The want for change must be accepted, for it to affect you properly, or it may be rejected out right."
After saying that, he flips through various intricately hand drawn pages of creatures, items and symbols rapidly before finding a blank page with a grin and sitting down. A smooth gesture with his left hand, he reaches behind his ear, bringing it forward and there is a pen grasped.
With quick deft motions, he proceeds to draw, masterfully, an image of a powerful, winged angelic woman, with majestic wings and gorgeous features, athletic in a flowing dress.
Then, once that is done rather quickly, he turns the book, tapping the image, which then animates and comes alive on the paper, demonstrating the range of motions and some expressions. Noting overtly sexual stands out, but, it clearly is on the leaner and beautiful side. Perhaps appearing as a lovely dark haired European teen from France or Italy.
"When I look at you, I see this within, eager to come forth. We can adjust, obviously, but that will merely take time. Thoughts?"
"Pleasure to meet you Shay-peer Dun-bar-lo-ka-ra-too-ki." Rena answers a bit haltingly, ensuring that she pronounced the name properly.
"Are you a transmuter then? A wizard? Don't worry, I'm used to magic so I won't resist it, even unconsciously." she queries and explains as she watches the young man work a different kind of magic with pencil and paper.
"That does look lovely, in so much as any humanoid does. Er... The form will come with instincts, correct? I've never walked before after all."
tural-
"She can make herself look like a dwarf too.
reviarti-
"Nice to meet you Keme."
after the song Mel joins in encouraging Ginni.
see...You are an amazing singer and guitar player. And I should know! I would have to say that old music teacher would be wishing he never talked to like he did.
later, Mel turns to Raelle. I know we barely met and I do wish it was under better circumstances. But this little gathering is partially if not mostly for you, and Ginni.
Mel thinks for a minute. I usually find ways to say what I am trying to say through music. So Ginni had that last song, do you mind if I dedicate a song to you?
"Yeah, sure, why not? And don't worry about us not knowing each other well...I'm sure we'll get along fine. You're friends with my friends, and in general I think they're pretty good judges of character," she said with a wink.
Vai digs in as they listen to the recording of Ginni, resurfacing once it's over and joining Tamina in the cheering.
"I didn't know you had such an amazing singing voice Ginni! That was fantastic!" Vai abandons the food table for the moment, having at least calmed her hunger for the moment.
Ginni blushed. "Well, I don't really perform in front of people....I have really bad stage fright. Which I'm trying to get over...by joining Mel's band as it turns out. So we're going to be band-mates."
"Who's the new girl?" Vai whispers to Morrivan, tilting her head to indicate Karla.
"Not sure," Morrivan whispers back. "She sort of wandered in...and we weren't really gonna kick her out...it's girls' night...she's a girl...I should go talk to her."
Morrivan walked over to Karla.
"Hi, I'm Morrivan. I don't think we've met before."
Ace flashes a big grin at Ehos and Jaiye "Well, it would seem things are at least somewhat ok tween you two. That's awesome. I figured I should talk to you three before I begin my own research.

Ehos glances to Jaiye, and then back to Ace. Once again on the datapad: 'Jaiye is giving me a second chance. I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice. Sure, I'll come with you to the library.'
"We were talking to the Headmaster...and uh, Ehos's mom....since there are some aspects of the situation that they needed to be aware of...I can fill you in while we walk."
Sun, Chara and company arrive in the home ec room to find Midori and Cariban working to finish up Sara's yukata, with Sara also there, though whether or not she's helping is not immediately clear.
Midori stops her work and quickly steps over to greet the new people. "Thank you Sun-san! Hello Chara-chan! We were making a yukata for Sara-rin and we thought you would want one too."

Dara looked at her anxiously, but then he waved and the word 'Hi' appeared in the air over his glove.
He probably would have left then, but Chara wouldn't let go of his hand and yanking his hand away would hurt her. He looked distinctly uncomfortable.

"Hi, Midori. Hi, Sara. Hi, Sara's teddy bear," Chara said cheerfully. "This is Dara. He's in our class, but he never comes to class....kinda like Ignace used to be. He's scared of people. And he can't talk. But he's nice."
"It's okay, Dara. You don't have to be scared of Midori and Sara. They won't hurt you."
"Nor will i."
::these creatures make this display to baffle predators and protect themselves :: sheess explains and then wraps his tail gently around her claw and swims foreward gently towing her under the mobile display, towards the heated vents under the reef
She was a bit surprised when he started towing her, but she assumed that he knew where he was going. He was obviously quite familiar with this place. She looked up at the swimming fish as they swam underneath, appreciating the way the light flashed off of their colorful scales as they swam back and forth.
Eventually she looked where they were going as she started to notice the temperature of the water going up.
:Volcanic vents?:: she asked.
After introductions are over Sun will approach Dara.
Settro and I were going outside to play a game. you don't have to worry about flying I hate flying also we were just going to play in garden. Settro has a game he wanted to she me how to play.
Sun smiles do you want to join us? the girls can make their dresses and we can go do boy stuff
"I shall do that and I would love to see your work shop. I have yet to see the process even though I use so much. I belive it would be interesting to see." He stops and thinks for a second before continueing. "Huh. I haven't even opened a book today. Let alone gathered a bit of data." He ponders this for a moment. "This is most intriguing to me. You seem to have triggered much change in my mind. Normally my first thought about seeing a process done is to learn about it. This time it was more a reason to be with you." He looks on as though he was a scientist that had found something that may lead to a break through.
She laughed. "This is what happens when you're involved with someone instead of just observing. It's normal and healthy. And I work on paper making nearly every day, so it's not like you won't have plenty of opportunity to observe and record later if you want to....and I think you've done plenty of learning today," she added, blushing.
Contrary to Chara's reassurances, Dara may be able to sense that Midori is armed to the teeth with metal weaponry in her holster.
Midori is looking a bit worriedly at Dara. She didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable, so she squirms slightly. "She's right Dara-san. I won't hurt you."
"Hah! Offering a kid alchohol! I love Dwarves..."
He takes a swig, but his half giant and demonic metabolism blunts most of the enjoyment for him.
"Not bad."
He still takes a beer from Keme, though."Umm, who're the teams?"
Keme shrugged. "Smokers versus non-smokers for the first round? You are a non-smoker right?" he asked Arthur. "Or I can team up with the snail girl....assuming she can play pool. And we can switch up the teams next round."
tural-
"She can make herself look like a dwarf too.reviarti-
"Nice to meet you Keme."
Keme nodded in acknowledgement of her greeting.
"Yeah, sure, why not? And don't worry about us not knowing each other well...I'm sure we'll get along fine. You're friends with my friends, and in general I think they're pretty good judges of character," she said with a wink.
Mel smiles Well I hope I don't disappoint then. and if you ever need lessons for music or dance just give me shout; I'm sure I can help you out. I noticed a new girl over there, maybe we can go meet her, make her feel welcome.
Mel seems quite happy right now having female friends around her own age is a new experience. she was happy to have Vai but now so many more, this is almost too much.
Mel goes over to greet the new girl behind Morrivan.
Hi! and I'm Melody..you can call me mel she says, popping her head over Morrivan's shoulder, a big smile on her face.
Contrary to Chara's reassurances, Dara may be able to sense that Midori is armed to the teeth with metal weaponry in her holster.
Midori is looking a bit worriedly at Dara. She didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable, so she squirms slightly. "She's right Dara-san. I won't hurt you."
Dara looked at her warily like he didn't believe her and then he seemed to relax.
'You can't hurt me,' he signed, with no further explanation.
After introductions are over Sun will approach Dara.
Settro and I were going outside to play a game. you don't have to worry about flying I hate flying also we were just going to play in garden. Settro has a game he wanted to she me how to play.
Sun smiles do you want to join us? the girls can make their dresses and we can go do boy stuff
Dara hesitated, but then looked back over his shoulder at the girls sewing and wrinkled his nose. He didn't seem too excited about sewing. He turned back to Sun and nodded, still watching Settr warily.
"Haven't played pool before, but it seems simple enough."
That definitely piqued Midori's curiosity, and she looks the boy up and down again, taking stock. He definitely didn't hold himself like a fighter. Midori can't resist asking: "Ano... Why do you say that Dara-san?"
settro remains outside the room.
"Magnetic control."
That definitely piqued Midori's curiosity, and she looks the boy up and down again, taking stock. He definitely didn't hold himself like a fighter. Midori can't resist asking: "Ano... Why do you say that Dara-san?"
Dara stopped to think about how to answer with his limited vocabulary. He'd been learning lots of words, but there were still gaps in his ability to communicate.
'You....have lots metal.' he signed.

:Volcanic vents?:: she asked.
His response is a distinctively draconian grin ::not quite::
His mind is somewhat shrouded like he is trying to hide a big surprise ...
::look into the vent and do NOT move too quickly...::
Sun just waited for Dara, he wasn't concerned about the hurting part or why. He just wanted to have some fun since Lang was away.

::look into the vent and do NOT move too quickly...::
Her curiosity piqued, she did as instructed, moving as slowly as she could manage given that she was still not used to moving underwater.
"That would be correct, I don't smoke, and the game is simple enough, just basic geometry, with applied mechanical physics" he shrugs
"Okay, then you're on my team this round. You," he said, pointing to Reviarti, "can watch for now and figure out how the game is played. You can play next round."
Sheessuroussen stays close and as ryleh looks down she realizes that she is looking at a creature that is staring at her... its orange pupiled eye rolls with molten fires and it appears that the source of the light and heat is this creature
::don't make any sudden movements...
she nods.

::(mental laughter)::
The slotted eye opens to a circular pupil
edit:
::Its not anything of the sort, its not quite living, well not in the terms of sentience or of the living of elementals or humans::
Sheess pulls her back slightly
Dara stopped to think about how to answer with his limited vocabulary. He'd been learning lots of words, but there were still gaps in his ability to communicate.
'You....have lots metal.' he signed.
That gave Midori pause, and even though she had heard Settro, Midori wasn't sure what magnetic meant. But Dara knew about her power and was less afraid of her because of it...
"Do you want to see, Dara-san?" she asks without preamble.
Ginni blushed. "Well, I don't really perform in front of people....I have really bad stage fright. Which I'm trying to get over...by joining Mel's band as it turns out. So we're going to be band-mates."
"Oh! That's great Ginni! Wow.. Big band. At least the stage won't look too empty with Zren and Rikken, since both you and me might be back stage playing. I... Barely made it through one song at the tryouts. We'll work together towards becoming less scared of playing in front of people. How does that sound Ginni?"
he removes his suit of armor, it being unnecessary for the game of pool.
a figure walks up to the pool table, dressed in a grey black and umber cloak, the person at first seems intimidating, but then the hood is pushed back and it reveals an utterly mundane face, with black hair and tan-ish skin...
"can I get in on the game?" he asks, resting his hands on his hips, revealing a dark green tunic, dark brown pants, and soft black riding boots

"Do you want to see, Dara-san?" she asks without preamble.
Dara tilts his head, somewhat confused by her offer. He nods slowly, wanting to solve the mystery.

Keme shrugged. "Sure, why not. You and her," he said nodding towards Reviarti, "can play in the second round against whoever wins the first."

Ginni smiled shyly. "That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking forward to it...and dreading it...but mostly looking forward to it."
