Ace decides to call upon some of his divine magicks. He sits upon a table, laying his staff across his lap, and pulls out a pendant that doubles as his holy symbol.
Before he casts his spell though he looks to his friends "Goin to call upon a little deific aid. I was thinking to ask 'What is the best course of action to capture Kara', but if either of you have a better suggestion, I'll gladly ask that instead"
Ehos nods at that, still averting his eyes from Jaiye, just a little shame there. ::That sounds as good as any, though it might be a bit too direct. She's shielded from scrying, which means that if she has a blanked mind, most divinations won't even know who Kara is. And remember, we're not sure if that's even her real name.::

Walking down the hallway, Phaezeriel nods as if agreeing with someone, but his thoughts are directed to the collective, ::Ehos is correct. Feel free to attempt direct divinations, but they will likely fail. Try something indirect, along the lines of 'how to draw out being who seduced Ehos earlier this morning.' Also, try locating Ehos' anti-fertility charm; she likely disposed of it, but if she kept it a mind blank effect would not hide that. Also, Ace, please communicate through the collective so that I can lend my aid as well as I can.::

"It some what explains things, but I have never been one to trust in only one thing. Even when I adventured I trust multiple people to do one task rather than sending only one person. It seems reckless to expect the wards to protect the students all the time. My arrival actually is an example to this, at least from Ryo's explanation of the wards. The wards protect from extra-dimensional travel, which would include extra-universal." He talks of his arrival as though it is an ill-omen. "So I am a little couscous of the wards. They...
"That's the planetary wards. The rules for those changed shortly before you arrived. To allow for things like extra-dimensional travel. And space travel. Which is of course more possible now that the planet has been flipped inside out....still getting used to this whole ginormous sky we've acquired since then. Anyways, those are totally different wards than the school wards. You're comparing apples and kumquats."

Jaiye |
![Juliver](http://cdn.paizo.com/image/avatar/PZO9039-Juliver.jpg)
Ehos looks a bit sheepish, and can't really look at Jaiye when he says this... but he does say: ::I... I'm a little fuzzy... but she was... um... good. Like... way better than a human her age should be. If she is a demon... she might be some kind of succubus? A greater succubus or something? Maybe we should look into the different kinds.::
Of course, what might have been implied - and the reason why Ehos couldn't really look at Jaiye - was that she was probably the best Ehos had ever had bar none... even if his memory on the event was somewhat fuzzy.
"I'll get the books," Jaiye snapped before stalking off and once she was out of sight of the other two punching a couple of walls along the way.

He nods slowly, wanting to solve the mystery.Midori reaches into her holster as if she's about to draw a weapon... but instead she brings forth a birghtly coloured yellow silk ribbon - probably useful as a distraction when tied to a kunai, the ribbon catches the eye quite easily.
She smiles at Dara and closes her eyes. Her horn comes to life suddenly, glowing with a soft white light seemingly from within, and the ribbon turns to steel in her hands.
She opens her golden eyes and smiles at Dara. "See? It won't hurt you anyway."
Dara grins and then frowns in concentration as he focuses on the steel ribbon, using his magnetic ability. Doing something this delicate is obviously difficult for him, but a with a great deal of effort he bend the sides of the ribbon up and then over and across into a very crude bow shape.
'Won't hurt me,' he agreed.

Ginni wrote:Ginni smiled shyly. "That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking forward to it...and dreading it...but mostly looking forward to it."Vai returns the smile happily. "I'm not sure I would have been able to perform even at the tryouts if I hadn't seen my sister in the crowd. Fieri's the one who taught me the harp and she's always encouraging me, so knowing that she was there watching really helped. I think I would've just froze otherwise."
Vai glances at Mel who is talking to Raelle some ten feet away. She continues a little more quietly, almost conspiratorially. "Melody really helped too when she started backing me up, but don't tell her that. We don't need our band leader getting a big head, y'know?" she winks afterwards and smiles broadly.
"I think Melody would make a very good music teacher," Ginni replied with a grin.
"And I don't think I would have even tried to play in front of people if it weren't for Tami and Ace. I'm just....I'm worried that these stupid rumors about me are gonna hurt our band. I...I spent so long pretending to be dumb and not-talented and everybody was fine with me, but as soon as I start acting like maybe I'm not quite as ordinary as I pretend to be suddenly my demonic heritage is a big deal and people are accusing me of using my telepathy to take control of my friends...it doesn't even work like that!...anyways, sorry....I'm supposed to be getting my mind off that crap.

Just as Ephebe is about to go to join her mate in play in the lake, she feels soemthign drastically wrong. A familiar sensation no doubt, but much closer to home than usual.
For a very brief instant, there was a massive temporal anomaly some two miles from the school. Usually that means some sort of time travel.
Other beings in the school which are sensitive to such things may also feel something very briefly amiss.
::Krays, I have to go...work...time stuff....sorry:: she said briefly before shifting back and teleporting away to the site where she felt the anomaly.

Melody stops in mid conversation with Karla (assuming she does wish to converse beyond a hello)
strange...oh well, probably nothing Mel mutters to herself but anyone close can hear.
she then goes back to her conversaion but it is evident something is "churning" in her mind.
she sometimes gets this way when she has an idea for a new song as well

Yes, sorry, but the temporal anomaly was /not/ magically based. Magic sensors wouldn't catch it. This was pretty much aimed at Ephebe and Melody. If there's another reason Carl that you don't want to reveal right away, shoot me a PM please.
Ephebe arrives at the site of the temporal anomaly... strangely enough, it's just inside Fei's crater from the previous day. A huge open space, with the ground beneath Ephebe's hard and compact - glassed in some placed. There is - at least not immediately - any sign of the being or object with caused the anomaly.
If Ephebe takes some time she could probably piece together from where/when whatever caused this originated, right?
Also... Perception and Survival checks from Ephebe please. :D

After a moment she realizes that she hadn't spoken common (again), and corrects herself: "Dara-san, that's so... nice! Uh.. cool? What's the word?" she loses her focus, and the ribbon turns back to silk, though still bound up in a bow.

Perception 1d20+36

One thing that Ephebe is able to discern from her Champion abilities: this isn't mere time travel... whatever caused this came from both a divergent timeline /and/ sometime in the future of that timeline. This particular timeline diverged about 6 months ago.
During her search of the nearby area, she finds nothing for a good few minutes... and then there is something... a single bootprint, human sized, though a bit on the small side. Worryingly military in style.
