"We don't know. We just wanted to make sure you were safe. . . . . Wait. Your snake is eating fruit? Why do you need guarded while he does that? . . . . . Never mind. Not important. We didn't see you since it happened and we thought they might have found you. . . . ."
She strokes the nearest Scylla head as she speaks.
"well I suppose it varies from individual to individual, with me I can communicate with you so long as you're on the same plane as me so long as I've made a link with you but to make a link the closer the easier, usually I need eye contact unless they are trying on the other end,"
"This was a good attack." Gareth says to himself as he walks around, watching people. Hehad no clue why the school was attacked, but even he could tell how well thought out it was.
"I thought of something easier. Can I see your pen thing? This way we'll have a fail safe if something happens."
a mermaid swims through the air in the halls, humming to herself.

Sorun swims close and whispers, "The purpley dragon is spending 'private time' with sheess.... Whatever that means..."
"ah yes sure" he hands tybalt the pen, having an idea of what tybalt was going to do.
Zilla looks at Sorun confused. "Now one said you did anything. We came to she If you were ok and to let you know." Her confusion could be heard in her voice. "Why would you think your being accused?"But people attacked the school why?"
Zilla shrugs. "We don't know."
Walking fearlessly into the odd town, the Aridiente and Raelle party are quick to notice they are /quite/ unique in appearances here.
Most of the people appear to be humanoids, with regular sized eyes, dark skin of the desert or higher pigmentation than normal. Nearly impossible to distinguish who is male or female, due to the (apparently worn by everyone) thick, unrevealing robes, made of an odd fabric which seems blackened on purpose.
There are very few 'standard' village things, and above all else, no written symbols visible and an air of silence.
Upon walking into town, the natives immediately prostrate themselves, and are silent. The only thing Aridiente's diplomatic advances, backed by Raelle's impressive assistance in social manner helps with, is one extra added glance up, very brief, before the bold person's forehead is on the dirt floor again.
"What will our next course of action be?"I don't know hermes. I just don't know. when he doesn't want to be found, he...well...doesn't get found...
Mel turns away from everyone.
Thank you all for your support. I'm glad to have you guys as friends. Maybe I just need to be alone for a bit. get my head together. maybe I need something else? I don't know anymore. mel is silent for a few moments lost in thought.
she takes several deep breaths I was going to get something eat. something with chocolate. And lots of it!
Mel starts to head to the cafeteria hoping to find food still available.
well? she says to any that don't follow you guys coming?
** spoiler omitted **
"Sure, Mel, we can head to the cafeteria. Like I said, maybe it was just the shock of the injury...no real way to tell without being able to find him. And since he doesn't want to be found...well, chocolate it is."
As they walked towards the cafeteria they run into Igni.
"Igni! Hey...I take it you had as much luck finding Kai as we did?"
he's back to working on his sword.
"Yeah. Didn't see anything of note."
He takes it and hands it to Tyrrin.
"You can use this to get to me. Just push this button and talk into the end and I can hear it."
Then his voice comes through the pen's speaker.
"And I can talk to it too."
Back to just talking.
"This can be the primary and then Jeran and Dave can be emergency back up. Anyone can use the speaker thing on your end. Everyone cool on this?"
hey Igni, haven't seen you in a while. we're heading for some chocolate. wanna join us? Mel smiles as she offers him the chance to join.
mel leans closer to Ginni whispering to her I don't think I've ever had so many boys around me before? I hope this isn't uncomfortable for you.
"There's not much I can do about a seizure.." He says worriedly as the join the group.
"Michael!" Kitty croaks, throwing herself into his arms. Saffire nuzzled him weakly from his perch on Kitty's shoulder.
*meep* the little drake says weakly.
"I'm sorry about earlier! The person who hurt me messed with my mind, gave me and Saffire both false memories....and now something is wrong with Keme and I don't know what to do," she added tearfully.
"I'm not sure i count as a boy."
"Yeah, sounds alright."
igni walks with you, continuing work on the sword.
"I'm not sure i count as a boy."
Mel glares at Roel your a boy to me, and besides your not supposed to be listening in on girls' conversations. its just not nice. she says in a somewhat playful yet serious tone.
"I can't help it. I hear everything within a good range of me, to the point that it's like I'm seeing it. Basically, So long as it isn't behind a thick wall, i can see it."
"Is she okay? Is he? What happened? What about Saffire?"
Phaezeriel's thoughts come suddenly to Michael, and they convey great weariness, ::Michael. I am sorry I did not say anything right away, I can only plead exhaustion. Kitty and Saffire will remember that someone tried to make them think that you attacked them, but will not be able to identify the person who actually did so. They will be fine once they receive more healing. I have to sleep. Wake me if you need me.::

mel leans closer to Ginni whispering to her I don't think I've ever had so many boys around me before? I hope this isn't uncomfortable for you.
"Why would it be uncomfortable for me? I have no problems being just friends with boys," she whispered back.
"I can't help it. I hear everything within a good range of me, to the point that it's like I'm seeing it. Basically, So long as it isn't behind a thick wall, i can see it."
"Ooh, I know what that's like. Well, maybe not exactly, but close enough. It's so hard not overhearing people's thoughts. I try not to eavesdrop, but it would be so much easier if people would stop with the mental shouting."
He takes it and hands it to Tyrrin.
"You can use this to get to me. Just push this button and talk into the end and I can hear it."
Then his voice comes through the pen's speaker.
"And I can talk to it too."
Back to just talking.
"This can be the primary and then Jeran and Dave can be emergency back up. Anyone can use the speaker thing on your end. Everyone cool on this?"
"If that works like a radio or digital signal, I can tune my helmet reciever into it..."
"There's not much I can do about a seizure.." He says worriedly as the join the group."Michael!" Kitty croaks, throwing herself into his arms. Saffire nuzzled him weakly from his perch on Kitty's shoulder.
*meep* the little drake says weakly.
"I'm sorry about earlier! The person who hurt me messed with my mind, gave me and Saffire both false memories....and now something is wrong with Keme and I don't know what to do," she added tearfully.
[Though hesitant at first, Michael quickly wraps his arms around Kitty tightly and tries to keep hs relief at being deemed innocent of attacking his girlfriend from outweighing his concern for her protector, Keme.
"What.. what happened to him?"
"Yeah. Oh, and there is a reason you might not want to consider me a guy. When i said i can see everything not behind a thick wall..."
he leaves it at that.
addressing Roel I know, was only being playful
to answer Ginni what i meant was, with crowds.
as the reach their destination Hey here we are....Look out chocolate, here we come! she says rubbing her hands together ready to dive in.
"I'm sorry. I have really no idea how it works. Just how to make it work. It's not magic and you push the button to make it go is the extent of my knowledge on it. Sorry."
It's obvious that he wishes he could help more.
"Yeah. Oh, and there is a reason you might not want to consider me a guy. When i said i can see everything not behind a thick wall..."
he leaves it at that.
she whispers to Roel
and you should just keep those thoughts to yourself glancing toward Arthur, hoping he doesn't have a similar ability.

"What.. what happened to him?"
"I'm not sure...I think that Keme was going to let Ace past to heal me and Saffire and then...something Phaeze said I guess? I don't know exactly, but he changed his mind and...and then Phaeze was scolding him and then Keme started bleeding out his ears and fell over."

"Oh, that...yeah, that's only a problem if I'm performing. Otherwise I don't mind being around lots of people at all."
Ghalen scans for any local device that's broadcasting a signal...
"I'm not sure why you're sensitive about that. It doesn't make much sense. Maybe you could explain later, when we aren't in public."
"I'm sorry. I have really no idea how it works. Just how to make it work. It's not magic and you push the button to make it go is the extent of my knowledge on it. Sorry."
It's obvious that he wishes he could help more.
"Here, hand it to me, I'll key in the proper frequencies." Tyrrin says, extending one hand to take Tybalt's pen communicator, and subsequently pulling out one of her own - a gift from Storm to mark their freindship.
After changing several settings on Tybalt's device so that it matches her own, Tyrrin tests hers by speaking into it, and her voice comes out of Tybalt's crystal clear. "There we are. These may not work in the Maze's extra-dimensional space, but they should function otherwise."
"I'm not sure why you're sensitive about that. It doesn't make much sense. Maybe you could explain later, when we aren't in public."
now that I agree, later when not so public.
Once everyone finds somplace to sit mel hurries off to find the goodies.
Mel rumages through the cafeteria for cookies, ice cream (not for you Igni thats probably bad for firebirds), brownies, cake, or good ole fashion chocolate bars.
She comes back shortly bearing all sorts of chocolaty goodness. and one bowl of fruit for Arthur in case he's on a diet
"Oh, that will work too."
igni takes some spare metal from his pocket, and makes it into a crude cup/bowl shape.
"So. Why do you put up with this renkai guy, anyway?
he pauses for a moment, thinking.
"Also, what's with the preference for certain kinds of food? I mean, other then not eating important things, like the floor. Some food is easier to digest, but humans seem to have different preferences..."
roel seems to instantly prefer the sweetest thing there. You've seen him eat large amounts of food at a time before, but this time, he takes it piece by piece, disintegrating each one before getting more.

"Oh, that's easy to explain...we have these things on our tongues called taste buds. Some foods stimulate them in a pleasurable way and others...well, it's definitely not pleasant. And different races have different likes. Igni here needs burnt food and oils while for humans that would make them sick. We tend to eat things cooked more moderately and water based liquids to drink. And apparently you prefer sweets."
"You have one too? Cool."
He watches her work them.
"OK. So now we're set? If you have one you don't need this one then."
He takes it back and gives it back to Dave.
"So now it's me and Dave and Tyrinn and Ghalen. With Dave and Jeran as back up. OK so. Are we ready now?"
"The only thing i get from this is a ton of substance."
Mel sits and digs into the ice cream.
Well Igni, the truth is, one time, when I really needed someone, he was there for me. he stayed with me and comforted me when I needed someone like that. I never took advantage of me. but lately, I don't know. Something changed... Can we not talk about Kai right now please?
after a few more spoonfuls.
well Roel, to add on what Ginni said, and I am sure she would agree, I could get all technical on that, but lets just say that its really flavor. the human taste buds react differently to different flavors. also Chocolate has certain natural chemicals that stimulate the brain and create a "feel good" feeling. it can get very sciency but i think...it tastes good sums it up best.
"I know it's only twenty minutes, but try not to get into too much trouble without me," Jeran says dryly, patting Oneiro on the shoulder. "You have this bad habit of finding trouble at every turn."
After a few minutes Mel enetered the cafeteria Lang shows up looking around the room eventually seeing the girl he met rescueing Tryko'Sam.
excuse me, miss Waverider? I have a message from Master Renkai
"I see. Well, alright."
igni takes a few chocolate bars, and puts them on his crude bowl. He heats the bowl up till it's red hot, and drinks some of the melted chocolate in sips.
"Loosely water based, but good tasting. Shouldn't have too much of it."
