"Anyone specific you want to sit by, my brothers and I have very good eyes, even if we don't share the same views or moral standards. it'll be pretty easy just picking any sociable table"
"Not really. We could always go outside to eat, i know a few quiet places, if you want. A lot of change can be tough to take in, with so many people... Then again, you don't seem concerned."
"I suppose so, outside does seem like the best idea because I could let my wings out without fear of what people's reactions would be" He smiles, walking to the doors and waiting for Settro to show him a quiet spot to eat
"Well, i can't redo that spell. I only have a few castings of it a day."
he starts to walk outside.
"So if you want that spell undone, that's fine, but I'm not redoing it anytime soon."
Lyere follows Settro
"Not right now, I'll have the spell undone at night, when I can sleep. If anyone finds me then, its just a matter of turning invisible until dawn and finding you"
"Oh, you don't need to worry if someone finds you in your natural form. You're protected here. The thing is, you may wanna get used to this place before having to deal with people trying to irritate you because of your form. It's happened to me a little, but not as much as I'd expect... Odd, really."

Odd, really."
"If you say so Settro, although that does make me a little curious as to who could irritate you for being you"
"I will work more on it."
He acts the same as he always does.
"The battery reserves of the others will only work once and the capacitors only handle one charge a day. The cool down time is a bit excessive, I will also work on this."
"Lots of people. They fear what is different."
"Lots of people. They fear what is different."
He nods, a far-off look overtaking his eyes for a moment "I know the feeling, back home, after I changed the entire human race, and some other races feared me for what I was. At least here its better, that I'm glad for, that and I have a friend like me"
Lang, sitting by the lake opens his eyes at the growl in his stomach.
strange, so few people this morning? Grim is not even here. has the attack frightened so many?
Lang gets up from his meditations and notices that Sun has wandered out to greet the new day.
hello Sun, I was off to see Ignace maybe join her for some breakfast. I don't know about the others though, even grim never made it out today.
Sun stretches and nods to Lang.
i do believe the stress of yesterday has caused them to be a bit more tired than usual. not to worry I am sure they just have gone inside for breakfast.
"You're quite trusting for someone who's been rejected so much... I can relate. I wanted to see what it was like to have a real relationship... It's hard... Expesially beign immortal, but... Hopefully, it's worth it."
he breathes in deeply, then sighs.
"I remember. We talked about this last night. You are frustratingly likable," she teased, kissing him.
"Alright, plan. First get clothes for Rena from the lost and found. Second go see about getting Rena and I officially enrolled. Third, explore the school. Did I miss anything?"
Tryko'Sam kisses Asha back, "Above all else, just be a touch careful, we got jumped collectively here last night, and I'm pretty sure people died. Would hate to find you the killers are just hanging out waiting to pounce on some curious girls. Can you defend yourself in a scrap, Asha?"
His tone suggests a hint of concern, then adds, "If you want me to tag along, awesome. I'm pretty sure you'll get your own room too. Just find me if you want help or company. Ain't seen any cellphones, so I suppose texting is out."
With that he walks to the door and holds it open, "Plus, weekend. Patience with the natives, right?"
Lyere smirks, just a little "Only to the one's that earn it. I might seem like I'm trusting to everyone, but to most I'm keeping them at arms-length without their knowledge"
He looks over at Settro "My friend, I have some advice for you, whether your immortal or not, a relationship is always worth it. Even bad ones because they teach you things."
Tryko'Sam kisses Asha back, "Above all else, just be a touch careful, we got jumped collectively here last night, and I'm pretty sure people died. Would hate to find you the killers are just hanging out waiting to pounce on some curious girls. Can you defend yourself in a scrap, Asha?"

"Honestly, no, I'm pretty much helpless except I spend lots of time practicing acrobatics so I might be able to get away if I'm really really lucky....so let's just hope that there aren't any more bad guys running around," she said with a shrug.
"And I would definitely not complain about your company, but don't feel like you have to spend time with us......and what is a 'sellfone'?"
"Yeah. It's the good ones I'm afraid of."
Smelling somebody coming near him, Silinrul instinctively flexes his hands, making his claws appear. When a voice quietly whispers something about an entrance he responds "Perhaps there is, but I prefer the forest."
"Yeah. It's the good ones I'm afraid of."
"Shouldn't be afraid, but now you've got someone backing you up at least, so that should make you a bit more...whats the word I'm looking for...courageous" He says this and then remembers his food, tipping his head back like a bird would, he holds the food up over his mouth and eats it to calm his stomach.
"Well, I can say this about the place, not only does it have good people, it has good food"
"Honestly, no, I'm pretty much helpless except I spend lots of time practicing acrobatics so I might be able to get away if I'm really really lucky....so let's just hope that there aren't any more bad guys running around," she said with a shrug.
"And I would definitely not complain about your company, but don't feel like you have to spend time with us......and what is a 'sellfone'?"
Killing time while Rena got dressed, and perhaps stumbled with the re-dressing of clothing, Tryko'Sam looks over at Asha and says, "Communication device. Pretty sure it's not happening here easily-- but, we'll see. It was a way to send messages to people on the same network relatively immediately, and for the most part, easy. From what little I recall though, it made a good amount of the population impatient ass hats. Always wanting their next instant fix."
He shrugs and grins at that. "Cell, phone. Not self. Cell, as in cellular transmission... I think. Dunno, memories are jacked. I'll stop complaining about that now. Hey, if you wanted, you could learn some martial arts here or something, basic defense techniques? It is a school. I've seen a ton of ninjas-" he chuckles at some thought, "Okay, that was funny. Seeing a ton of. And go go Japanese people, getting your cultural assassins out into another dimension. Nice. Anyway, digressing."
Glancing back at Rena, "You need help with getting that back on? Getting it off sometimes is much easier... trust me."
"I'm not afraid of trying to get a relationship. For me, I can't see them again if they die. Most people have an afterlife. Not such for those born off this plane, like me. If i die..."
he looks down a little, and drinks a little coffee

Glancing back at Rena, "You need help with getting that back on? Getting it off sometimes is much easier... trust me."
"It transformed people into hats to be worn on the bottom? How does that even work? Wouldn't it fall off? And no wonder they were impatient to get fixed! That seems like a rather drastic side effect for a communication device!" she said, completely baffled by all these strange terms.
"Yes, I suppose self defense might be a good idea," she said doubtfully. "I'm not sure how effective though. I'm not strong."
"I'm not afraid of trying to get a relationship. For me, I can't see them again if they die. Most people have an afterlife. Not such for those born off this plane, like me. If i die..."
he looks down a little, and drinks a little coffee
"Ah, so that's the issue, your afraid to die and not see them. That's a question every good demon asks, its also a question that if there's a solution to, I don't know." He thinks for a moment, lapsing into silence, even though he is a demon, he was human once, so he didn't know where he would end up.
While Rena is struggling with her top, there's a knock at the door of the 'party room'.
"Well, there is one solution. It's pretty dang tough though. You can indeed plane-shift into an afterlife... But you have to convince the deity there that you are worthy of entrance.... And... Well..."
he gestures to himself.
"Well, i suppose that isn't entirely accurate, but Devine politics are complicated. That's the short version."

Tryko'Sam laughed at Asha's comments, but not the girl herself. "No no.. ass hat basically means someone who's going around atop another person's head, wearing their ass, or they have their head stuck up their ass. Hahaha... it's just an expression. No one changed shape to actually be worn on the head. Hah. Wow, that's cute. I gotta remember I'm on another planet. You're adorable, babe."
Grinning, Tryko'Sam smiled over at Asha and chuckled a bit more after the thought.
"So-- any skills you learned while you were in that tower? I mean, how old are you? So you're effectively a Princess that escaped? You going to call your folks and tell 'em you're out and about?"

"Well, that makes more sense."
"Oh, I'm sixteen. And mostly I learned etiquette and history. I was pretty much just expected to be ornamental. Once when I was little I watched a troupe of acrobats performing in the courtyard of my family's manor. So I've been practicing the kind of things I saw since then. It was something to do anyways. I really didn't get to do anything else...well, I can play the flute too. But I don't like it. It's a really annoying sounding instrument. I'd rather play something fun..like drums or something. Basically if it had the potential to be fun or useful I wasn't allowed. And I'm not a princess exactly. Firebirds don't have royalty like that. But my aunt and uncle were members of the council that ruled all the firebirds before it was disbanded a couple days ago. And as far as I'm concerned the longer it takes them to find me the better. But the Headmaster will probably tell them once I enroll."
She jumped when she heard the knock at the door. And then flushed, embarrassed. "Uh, want me to get that?"
There is a thunderous noise over the school as Carl's ship flys over heading to evacuation camp close to jiminiys factory. It lands and soon Firebairds are disembarking from the hold. Carl ports over to where Jiminiy Mel and an earth element are.
"Hello lad-e" he says as the school wards put his cigar out, he looks at it then puts it away.
"Two trips done" then seeing he's talking to Mel stops and looks at the rock man
"Your the lad crushing Di-mo yesterday, a right good lad to have on a mining trp you would be, ever thought about going ti to the mining trade?"
"I only retrieve metals and gems when I need them. What need have I for amassing wealth by mining?"
"Well, there is one solution. It's pretty dang tough though. You can indeed plane-shift into an afterlife... But you have to convince the deity there that you are worthy of entrance.... And... Well..."
he gestures to himself.
"Well, i suppose that isn't entirely accurate, but Devine politics are complicated. That's the short version."
"If all else fails you can at least have two gods fighting over you, I guess that's a small comfort, but still. I don't doubt a deity would find you worthy, you didn't try to take food from me like other demons would after all"
Lang starts to head back in Sun following. well nobody at the lake today, even Sorun decided to go elsewhere today, if he is even awake. Hey Sun Simba is here he probably wants to see you. lets go get some food and you can take it to him
Sun just looks to Lang why would I want to feed that that over grown bird brain
Lang smiles at Sun come on Sun you know how much he likes you, and you know you like him
Sun just grumbles then eventually agrees yeah I do, but don't you ever tell him that
Lang just puts his hands up Okay, I promise
Lang and Sun both head to the cafeteria for some breakfast.
Lang heads over to pick up his and Sun's breakfast, both in a bag to go just like always. sun gets something for Simba.
"I only retrieve metals and gems when I need them. What need have I for amassing wealth by mining?"
"Ya would be helping with the work ta build the ships, the need stuff ya can only get out in the belts off world"
"Well, for one, I'm one of a kind. I eat emotions. My mother really has odd kids. Heh."
Kezzin watches Fei and Vai doing their morning devotions from the high vantage point he was at yesterday. He is playing his violin quietly. He is trying to improvise and capture the feeling of the morning, the sunrise, the clearing mist of the near field/clearings, and the serenity that the devotions that Vai and Fei are doing evoke.
He is trying to play quietly so as not to disrupt them, but someone with high perception would probably catch the strains of music in the air.
"I only retrieve metals and gems when I need them. What need have I for amassing wealth by mining?""Ya would be helping with the work ta build the ships, the need stuff ya can only get out in the belts off world"
Wyrd stares at you for a moment, his face blank, "I did not say I would not mine. I said I only retrieve the metals and gems when they are needed. When I need them I get them. If they are needed I get them. Case in point, the diamonds from last night. Is this confusing to you?"
mel tries to stay focused on the task Jiminy is going to assign. not wanting to miss anything. then she remembers about the datapads given to her.
wait a sec? where did I get these again? oh yeah that hairy guy..
Mel goes to the dwarf fellow. Sorry to interrupt but who wants these upgraded?
and, do I know you? you seem familiar.
"Well, that makes more sense."
"Oh, I'm sixteen. And mostly I learned etiquette and history. I was pretty much just expected to be ornamental.

She jumped when she heard the knock at the door. And then flushed, embarrassed. "Uh, want me to get that?"
Tryko'Sam looked a bit surprised himself, standing there at the door, hearing it knock.
He smiles at Asha and says, "Nah, I got this..." He turned to the door and says sweetly, "Who is it??" Then he just opened the door after, grinning still.

Midori slides in right next to Hew's sleeping form, and gently attempts to 'lift' him up back onto the bed before saying anything. She grunts slightly from the exertion though...
As Midori lifts him up Hew begins to awaken. He looks over to Midori. "Am I dreaming? Midori!?" He calls after realizing she was there in his room. He slips from her hold and falls back to the ground.
Slowly he starts to crawl to his feat embarrassed and dumb founded. He looks up to the cute girl in his room. He was sure now that he wasn't dreaming. The impact of the floor should have woken him but there she was in his room still. "Midori. I should apologize, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have even thought about kissing you. I still like you but I now understand you don't like me in the same way. I still want you as a friend if you will have me." He asks hanging his head and staying on the ground in a semi bow like pose.
Tryko'Sam looked a bit surprised himself, standing there at the door, hearing it knock.
He smiles at Asha and says, "Nah, I got this..." He turned to the door and says sweetly, "Who is it??" Then he just opened the door after, grinning still.
On the other side of the door stands the firey-haired, orange-eyed, muscled form of Ardinte. For a brief horrible moment, Asha might think that her parents have already sent someone to retrieve her... especially since this firebird hold himself in a soldierly way. "Hey." Ardiente says, and immediately blushes at the sight of Rena, still topless and struggling unsuccessful to figure out how to get everything properly contained.
"Er... pardon, I seem to be interrupting. I can come back. You just asked..." his eyes find somewhere other than Rena's form to looking, picking Asha instead...
... and not recognizing her, given her locked-away status. "You just asked to see me. My name is Ardiente." the introduction is as much for Asha as anyone else, and the young firebird is still blushing, but that's probably due to Rena's continued frustration with the unwieldly clothing.
He just sighs.
"I guess she wants me to talk to people. *sigh* She is supposed to talk though...."
He kicks up dust as he lowers himself from the table.
He looks around the cafeteria and spots a person about his size. He seemed nice.
He tromps over to where Repp eats.
"Hi. I'm supposed to talk to people and you look nice. Will you talk to me?"
The small dragon looks up at Repp.
"Hello, little one."Repp replies cheerfully, his eyes watching Lewis just a little wary - perhaps just a touch paranoid, but he doesn't shy away from the conversation. Instead, Repp pats the seat next to him. "Come sit. Are you a student here?" As always, Repp's manner is charming and easy - full of an unbravado'd confidence. He is indeed very easy to like because of that, though he does occasionally seem a little distant.

"Hey there, Ardiente. Uh..." He looks back into the room and grins at Rena, then back at Ardiente again. "All good, yeah-- was curious, what you were up too? You bailed on me yesterday. During the scuffle at school. Everything good and safe on your end? Do you know the girls?"
He motions into the room and adds, "This is Asha, and the lady in the back with the clothing situation is Rena. Friends of mine, just hanging out before they head off to become students officially."
Glancing back at Ardiente, he asks, "What's your plan today? Wanna talk shop, maybe the four of us should hang out?" Apparently, Tryko'Sam is adaptive of mind, or just chaotic in nature. It's hard to tell.

I still like you but I now understand you don't like me in the same way. I still want you as a friend if you will have me." He asks hanging his head and staying on the ground in a semi bow like pose.
"Hew-kun," Midori says, bowing herself (and noting the presence of the cat watching them). "You have nothing to apologize for. I am sorry for running away like I did... I just.. I don' t understand all this. I am trying though, and I need your help."
She looks up from her bowed position to meet Hew's eyes. "I'm not angry, and you don't have to apologize, Hew-kun. But I don't understand my feelings, and for that I am sorry."
"Hew-kun," Midori says, bowing herself (and noting the presence of the cat watching them). "You have nothing to apologize for. I am sorry for running away like I did... I just.. I don' t understand all this. I am trying though, and I need your help."
She looks up from her bowed position to meet Hew's eyes. "I'm not angry, and you don't have to apologize, Hew-kun. But I don't understand my feelings, and for that I am sorry."
"No it was I who let my insticts run away with me." Hew looked back into Midori's eyes. "Please don't think it's your fault." He dropped his head so he was looking at the floor. It was then he realized his attire. Quickly he grabbed the sheet off the bed and covered his lower half. His face turned beat red. "M- maybe I should get dressed. Would you mind turning around?"
Asha had turned pale and backed away from the new arrival when she first saw Ardiente. But then he ...didn't seem to recognize her. She breathed a sigh of relief. She remembered that she'd been told that there were many firebird students at this school. She couldn't just freak out every time she say one...and those purple streaks in his hair...no one would allow that in their guard or servant. He must be one of these mythical independent young people that Embre was always railing against. She frowned again when he introduced himself.
"Ardiente....I've heard that name before somewhere...I just can't place where...."
"Hey there, Ardiente. Uh..." He looks back into the room and grins at Rena, then back at Ardiente again. "All good, yeah-- was curious, what you were up too? You bailed on me yesterday. During the scuffle at school. Everything good and safe on your end? Do you know the girls?"

"Ardiente....I've heard that name before somewhere...I just can't place where...."
"Maybe you were at my execution." Ardiente says, with just the barest hint of bitterness about him when he says that. "Sorry. Pleasure to meet you Asha, and you Rena." Silently he curses. He had hoped the guy would re-introduce himself. Ardiente was still drawing a blank for a name. "All is good and safe, yes. You as well?"
Carefully keeping his eyes off of Rena, Ardiente stops looking to Asha and back to Tryko'Sam. "I still have alot of work to do today. I've got to at least keep going until the Sun is destroyed... after that time won't be such a factor. I do need some breakfast though, and I figured I could spare a few mintues to come talk with you."
"No it was I who let my insticts run away with me." Hew looked back into Midori's eyes. "Please don't think it's your fault." He dropped his head so he was looking at the floor. It was then he realized his attire. Quickly he grabbed the sheet off the bed and covered his lower half. His face turned beat red. "M- maybe I should get dressed. Would you mind turning around?"
"Oh... of course Hew-kun. Gomen nasai." Midori turns around, and smiles at the cat that was sitting there. She goes over to it, keeping her back turned away from Hew. "Did you follow me, neko-chan?" she asks and scratches the kitty under his chin.
