"That, and people are still sleeping."
settro continues sipping his coffee.
Mel smiles at Carl's offer. that would be great. and...if you can swing it, I wouldn't mind taking that trip with you up to the belts. unless of course I have a concert then.
"0f cues ya can mell if ya free"
"That, and people are still sleeping."
settro continues sipping his coffee.
Nodding, Lyere looks around "Sleeping in seems like the thing to do after what you've told me, I'm sure a few of them are grieving or licking their wounds"
He taps one of the tattoos on his arm, the staff once again making an appearance as he plants it into the ground and rests against it, looking out over the lake
"Yeah, i suppose you're right there..."
settro sighs, and looks around.
"Maybe we could go flying sometime. That's always fun."
"Well, one can always Hope, yes?" Ardiente says soberly, still talking of the purity issue.
"Why do you have memory loss?" Ardiente asks, still unable to remember the boy's name, and it was going to be more and more difficult to ask the long this went on.
"Well... that actually sounds really good. I would enjoy that. I'm planning on setting up a self-defense club. It started as an idea just for my... girlfriend. She wanted to learn, but after yesterday, I think we might have a big turnout. Either way, it would be basic things to start. Maybe we could have a more 'advanced' section, that would be your team?"
Ardiente also glances about the cafeteria, looking around at the people present. "I'm going to get some food."
Nodding at Ardiente, Tryko'Sam says, "Grab something and I'll go hang at a table. Fair? We can yap more."
With that, Tryko'Sam heads over to a table pretty much anywhere, not bothered by social conventions, apparently, and sits smiling charmingly at whomever is visible.
"Could I partially undo the transformation? I think flying is a good idea, I do need to know the lay of the land, that and we could race"
"Not that i know of, you can't. It's tricky magic, so that doesn't always work... But i do know a way around it..."
he rifles around in his belt, and pulls out a dark brown vail.
"This should be able to give you wings for a while, even while transformed. It's kinda painful, but i can eat the pain. Also, it may hurt you and knock you out cold if you aren't very resilant... But do you wanna try?"
"Oh. Thank you."
He stands up tall on his back legs and looks at the food.
He takes an apple and a steak from a dish of steak and eggs.
For a dragon he doesn't eat much. He must be used to it.
As they sit down he asks, "so why are you my size and not big like the other people?"
Carl looks on as mel enters her ship, Then gos over to his and sees its been refueled, he heads in to the flight deck. He works for a wile
Then of the ship to ship radio.
"Mel, this is Carl, I have your ship locked, so once your up
I can follow you lass, Carl out"
Then he calls Arthur
"Here, lad-e, I'm at Jiminiys plats landing field, Mel's here and anther guy,
We have three ships, one each and where going to head up to the fake sun
To help get them firebirds off, if ya coming you and Tinman best get over here pronto
Carl out."
The Carl gos back to take off prep.
He's ships a lot bigger than the shuttles and makes a lot more noise as the power core comes on line again. Carl checks the shielding, letting it clank into place and back again.
The Hammershaft is by no means the best looking ship, looking more like a flying bunker than any ship like, and was not the most fleet , but it was one big advantage over the smaller craft, it was one of the most brutally powerful ships for its class, able to lift itself and some considerable mass with it.
Carl sat back and waited for the all clear for take off.
"Not that i know of, you can't. It's tricky magic, so that doesn't always work... But i do know a way around it..."
he rifles around in his belt, and pulls out a dark brown vail.
"This should be able to give you wings for a while, even while transformed. It's kinda painful, but i can eat the pain. Also, it may hurt you and knock you out cold if you aren't very resilant... But do you wanna try?"
"If it'll give me wings without breaking this form, and allow me to have a bit of fun in the air, I'm all for it"
"Alright then."
he hands you the vail, and puts his hand on your shoulder, ready to eat any pain you may suffer.
Lyere looks at the vial, hesitating for only a brief instant before taking a swig
you start to feel pain for a moment, but then it's gone. You feel a pressure at your back, and hear a soft squelch sound, and when you look back, you have 4 rather large insect wings. They seem a little to dainty to fly, but maybe not? Who knows, with this guy.
"You may wanna take a little while to get used to those."
"Shuttle nine. And if you're getting too tired, say something. We can't afford to lose any pilots, but there's a forge in the back if you need a pick-me-up.""Ready to get my people to their new home, sir. Which shuttle is mine?"Once Mel had headed off for the shuttle Jiminy started bellowing for Dennis. He grinned when the very exasperated minotaur showed up.
"Dennis, Wyrd. Wyrd, Dennis. I need you to explain the mech program to him, show him the units and stuff. He's gonna help us make more of them...and he's our best chance at getting it done fast. So have fun, guys. And I'm off."
"Oh, hey Mithros. How you holding up?"
"Shuttle nine it is. No, I'll be fine, sir." 'As long as I don't have to shoot anyone today...' he thinks to himself.
"See you out there." He heads to his shuttle and gets ready for launch.
He winces as the wings come out of his back, inspecting his new wings "Didn't hurt that bad" he starts flapping the wings slowly, testing how well they work compared to his real wings
the wing's movement is a little difficult, but with a few attempts, you figure out how to fly with them. They aren't too fast, (50 ft per round) but they turn on a dime, and have nearly flawless hovering ablity. (Perfect maneuverability)
Lyere smirks and hovers a few inches off the ground with the insect wings "Looks like I'm all set, but what are you going to do, I don't see any wings on you even though you said you could fly?"
"Eh? Oh, i must have put them under that illusion Ryo gave me and forgot about it."
the black crow wings flicker into existence.
"Ready."
Hermes follows Arthur silently.
"What food would you like, sir?"
"Eh? Oh, i must have put them under that illusion Ryo gave me and forgot about it."
the black crow wings flicker into existence.
"Ready."
"Alright, but what do you want to do, race? do tricks?"
"Oh, usually, i just fly somewhere. Just flying is fun to me."
he flaps his wings a few times, and takes to the sky.
"Tricks don't sound bad though."
He follows Settro, trying to keep pace with the insect wings
"Fine by me" he smiles, feeling the air on his face as he looks down at the school
you aren't very much slower then him. He twirls and flys in the air, spinning his wings. As he flys, he casts dancing lights on the tips of his wings, and flys with the dancing lights moving with him.
He smirks, thinking the light show is a good trick, following Settro's twirling
"And here you said we were just flying" you can hear the laughter bubbling up in his voice, actually surprised and happy that your pulling off stunts like that
As Lim-Môr chants the grass under him dies out in waves and then becomes lush and green in the next wave.
It progresses for about an hour and then he stops. He puts the book back against the alter. He picks up the trident and it shrinks back down to the black and white switchblade.
He stands and stretches.
"Ugh. Crick in my neck every time."
He rolls his head around in circles.
riviarti puts her book away, ready to head off. The antro lion gets up and begins to follow.
"So. You're new. What classes do you think you'll take?"
"Hmm? I'll see a class list soon."
He looks at the snake on his arms. He moves his right arm up so he looks at it eye to eye.
"Retrieve those items in one the black boxes and bring them to me."
The snake uncoils itself from his arms and slides up the line.
It gets a box and puts the food in it one by one.
It takes the box back to Hermes who gives it to Arthur.
"It can be useful, if nothing else, for retrieving parts while you work."
"M'kay. What are you here to do? Refuge seeker, magic student, for the hell of it?"
he chokes a little.
"Wonderful. Now my coffee tastes like joy."
he starts to laugh a little, and looks at you, enjoying your happiness the best he could.
"Magic student."

"yeah, but then so could you, and better, or one of those little bird thing you made to distract people, quite nice work on that by the way hands or some sort of force manipulation would be required to do do so effectively, I'm not saying it wouldn't be of use, but it is redundant, just now we went and waited for it to do what either of us could do faster, on the other hand, I do commend you on your first big creation, it should be kept even if just for nostalgia sake"
he chokes a little.
"Wonderful. Now my coffee tastes like joy."
he starts to laugh a little, and looks at you, enjoying your happiness the best he could.
He smiles, throwing his pattern to get ahead of you "Catch me if you can Settro!"
"Alrighty then!"
settro rushes after you, 120 ft per round.
While heading towards the school, Silinrul would see up ahead a girl on the road towards the front, or in the clearing, seated against a tree or what not, peering over in his direction as he walks up, with curiosity on her swarthy and expressive features.
As he approached, she'd rise up and seem to study him curiously as if to get an answer merely by looking at him.
This would be somewhat close to the school, not directly at it yet.
Anahita is dressed in her usual white outfit, with etchings of fire and the sun in gold thread, a single simple silver and gold chain woven between her fingers on the left hand, and going up into her sleeves. She is not dressed to 'show off', but as a desert dweller might. Sandals of straps, wrapped around her feet, up the ankle a bit, are else that she has on. Hair is loose and free. About her, there is avid growth of plant life and, depending on perception skills, little creatures frolic and teem.
For scents, she has no more than the trees and woods would around her, clearly well trained in having no scent, or somehow magically gifted to be scent free. She blends in perfectly as if part of the forest itself.
A nod of greeting is provided, little else, though she does appear curious.
"But now we can continue our work while it does more menial tasks. I will attempt to make it more practical."
He picks it up and it winds itself back up his arms.
"Are you going to eat here or are we going to find Mr.Ironfist?"
"Alrighty then!"
settro rushes after you, 120 ft per round.
"Oh man, that's not good" he dives for the ground to try and lose you
He occasionally stares at the leonal, looking away quickly if it looks back.
"Cool. Me too. Kinda. Also kinda refuge but not really. Some of the people here manage to make me look normal. Which is quite an accomplishment."
As an elf his gait is fairly fast. He slows down and walks beside her if she doesn't quite keep up.
settro doesn't stop too well, and loses a lot of speed turning after you.
"Yikes! Great tuning! I'll have to try those wings myself sometime!"
settro rushes after you again, having quite a fun time.
"He says he's not going to pick on you so much. He also says you don't have fleas. You should promise to be nice to each other all the time." The last part she says to both of them.
riviarti flows behind, kinda slow, but that's kinda expected- she's a snail of sorts, after all.
"Heh, yeah. There was this loon that attacked me just because i did some divinations on his mask."
settro doesn't stop too well, and loses a lot of speed turning after you.
"Yikes! Great tuning! I'll have to try those wings myself sometime!"
settro rushes after you again, having quite a fun time.
Noticing his friends lack of maneuverability, he smirks, continuing his dive before pulling up at the last moment and twisting in the air as he keeps going
"Thanks, and yes you do, their great"
"Ooh. Not good. You're safe now right? The wards are back up and running."
"Of course. She was always safe. A leonal chose to be with her. How could she not be?"
"Can I kill him?
"No!"
"C'mon. People like it when I kill the annoying ones."
"Still no!"
"Fine but if he tries it again it's justified."
"Ugh."
