"You should eat more if you're to grow up to be big and strong, Lewis." Repp adds. "The school has plenty of food, after all. Especially with full grown dragons to feed. That must cost them a pretty penny."
"I am a gnome. We are a smaller race than the big people, though we make our way through life... it is actually more of an advantage than the larger people realize. Annoying when you are stepped on though." Repp adds with a grimace.
"I know what you mean about being stepped on. Being small is hard."
"Should I? We never had a whole lot to eat. I guess this is just what I'm used to. I'll get some more I guess." He takes a bagel and another apple and looks at Repp for approval.
"I know what you mean about being stepped on. Being small is hard."
"Should I? We never had a whole lot to eat. I guess this is just what I'm used to. I'll get some more I guess." He takes a bagel and another apple and looks at Repp for approval.
Repp nods and smiles easily for Lewis, indicating his approval. "The food is a gift from the school - offered freely. While there is no need to be gluttonous, you shouldn't ignore such an opportunity to strengthen yourself. You should never allow yourself to go hungry while at the school."
As the pair return to their tables, Repp's curiosity at the little creature seems unabated, studying it with obvious interest. "So, you speak of a 'we'. Who are the others? More of your kind?"
Genosuke arrives shortly after recieving the summons from Nala.
"Good morning to you all, thank you for honoring my request."
He sees Vasya, and beings to 'speak fox' to her, which was mostly short barks and body language.
He speaks to her like an old grandfather would their 5 year old granddaughter...
back to the others he says...
"So, who is to do this service?"
The other group in the maze is decidedly more stoic - no surprise, given their demeanors. Focused and on task, the group consisting of Tyrrin, Ghalen, and Jeran make their way through the Maze towards their assigned exit. There's little discussion between them, though Jeran may still a little like a third wheel, given that Tyrrin and Ghalen tend to stay close to one another. No overt affection now though - there was a job to do.
While they are searching, Ghalen breaks the silence with a query to Jeran...
"Jeran, in general, how would your people react to discovering a Lycan had chosen an elf as it's mate?"
Repp nods and smiles easily for Lewis, indicating his approval. "The food is a gift from the school - offered freely. While there is no need to be gluttonous, you shouldn't ignore such an opportunity to strengthen yourself. You should never allow yourself to go hungry while at the school."As the pair return to their tables, Repp's curiosity at the little creature seems unabated, studying it with obvious interest. "So, you speak of a 'we'. Who are the others? More of your kind?"
"Ok. I guess more food would be nice. I'll try for now on."
It smiles a grin full of thin, pointed teeth."No. I haven't met any other dragons like me. I'm a jabbe- jab- jabberwock."
Instead of playing with the word he actually has trouble pronouncing it.
" We is Tarka and me. Tarka is my kobold. We lived together in the forest until we got here. I was made to protect her."
While they are searching, Ghalen breaks the silence with a query to Jeran...
"Jeran, in general, how would your people react to discovering a Lycan had chosen an elf as it's mate?"
Tyrrin raises a curious eyebrow to Ghalen, but allows Jeran to answer.
"Ok. I guess more food would be nice. I'll try for now on."
It smiles a grin full of thin, pointed teeth.
"No. I haven't met any other dragons like me. I'm a jabbe- jab- jabberwock."
Instead of playing with the word he actually has trouble pronouncing it.
" We is Tarka and me. Tarka is my kobold. We lived together in the forest until we got here. I was made to protect her."
Repp's curiosity only increases at what Lewis had just said, leaning towards the dragon slightly. "Oh? Your kobold? I was aware the school condoned owning other sentient benigs as property. And you say you were... 'made' to protect her. That could mean two things... either you were created to protect her, or forced to. Quite a distinction. If it is the former, who created you?"
"Thanks. I'll need it."
"So what about you? How's life as a zif wizard?"
"This is boring. Just eat and go to the sim rooms.
"We should stay with the Leonal."
"Why are you so obsessed with the lion?"
"It's one of The Host. It's so beautiful.
"ugh."
"You'd do the same thing of you saw one of your stupid demons."
"that's different. They're actually cool."
"Guys! Quit."
"Fine. . . ."
"Well, we could go to th sim rooms with you. I don't have much else to do today."
As the sun peaks over the horizon, anyone lucky enough to be gazing east would gaze upon a cloud dragon, rapidly descending upon the grounds of Avalon. The immense and beautiful drake lands all but silently, eliciting only a gentle breeze. A gnome, sitting atop a crystal seat, levitates out of the silver saddle, and flies slowly to the ground.
The gnome stands 4 feet tall and is wearing an elegant azure vest, with tails, and worn canvas pants. His legs, from below the knee, and feet are wrapped in tough bandages as are his arms, beneath the elbow. His shoulder length blue hair is locked in a top knot, secured by a thick silver ring, and a wild beard adorns his chin. On his back, is a human longsword which appears too large for the small gnome.
He searches the grounds, and to the first person he finds he states calmly and with a soothing voice, ** spoiler omitted **
Glancing over at the gnome that walked over and did his introduction, Tryko'Sam pauses in his response to Ardiente and lifts a hand in greeting to Artha.
"Hey there. Uhh hmm. You need to find his office, which if you walk over to that hallway- just over ther? Touch the walls and think of the Headmaster. Then follow the arrows that'll point the way. Welcome to the school... Nice beard."
He smiled and waited a moment to see if there was a response before speaking with Ardiente again further.
Lang bows again and takes a seat, winking at Chara to not tell about the treat he gave her. i think that is considered "junk food" to firebirdsThank you Master Del Sol, I am sure you are a wonderful cook. anyway, last night I delivered a message to Master Sorchan. It was for your entire family. If you did not have a chance to read it that is fine. But if you did I am prepared to answer any questions.
Lang pulls out a bran muffin..oops looks like I grabbed Sun's bag by mistake. oh well. he usually has pretty good taste anyway.
Lang sets the muffin on the table waiting to eat until it is alright to do so, looking to respect any customs they may have.
Lang also occasionally looks about for Ignace waiting for her to show up.
Does Ignace know I am here?
"Yes, he showed me. I'm afraid I won't be able to attend. Chara can't go. It's too big of a risk. So I would stay home with her anyways. But I also have class to teach on Monday. But Sorchan will try to be there. depending on how things are going. It's a bit chaotic just now obviously."
"Ignace will be out soon I think. She doesn't know you're here, but believe me there is no rushing her when it comes to getting ready in the mornings."
"I'm no teacher, but I am a martial artist - quite a practiced one. I was being trained as a bodyguard after all. At least some basics will help people feel safer and more confident, I think. What did you have in mind? This self-defense club was something I had thought of before, and can be independent." Ardiente shrugged, tucking into his food.
"Very delicious. Hearty too. Full of energy for us.. I believe bread is the same principle for humans? Full of energy?" Ardiente does seem to quite enjoy it. Must not be poisonous or carcinogenic for him, or at least, hopefully not given the rate at which it is being consumed.
Nodding at Ardiente, Tryko'Sam says when taking a moment to help the gnome, "Sounds like an idea. Given how aggressive folks are, and super powered, apparently, don't know how useful the course might be, but I'm the newbie here. I was thinking more responding to bigger threats.. Planetary, or to the school and city. Know what I mean?"
That said he shoots the gnome a quick glance.
"She is mine because I keep her safe and no one else can take her. I'm hers too. The voice that talks to her made me and told me that I would find a blue kobold and that I'm supposed to take care of her and keep her safe. That she was very important and I was put here to be her guardian. I was with her but she thinks I need to do more on my own so she left and I think if I find her she'll just leave again."
Not sure why nobody responded, despite the arrows leading him to this room, Silinrul pounds louder on the door. He is getting a bit worked up, angry, frustrated and annoyed, and thus is beginning to work up a decent sweat.
Ace wakes up kinda late for him, around 7 hours past midnite. He was truly worn out from the night before. He looks at Ginni's peaceful, sleeping form "Gods, she is beautiful, even as she sleeps." He thinks.
Squeaky rouses himself from sleep as well, and the two play on floor, with a ball Ace produced from his belt.
The sounds of Ace and Squeaky playing woke Ginni. She sat up, her hair all mussed up, and wiped the sleep from her eyes.
"Puppy's feeling better?" she asked sleepily. "You found the grass patch in the bathroom for him to do his business? I'm not gonna step in puppy puddles if I get up am I?"
"Yes yes yes yes yes."
"Nero. . . . "
"I want to finish fir- Don't care. Go now."
He stands quickly and takes his tray.
Come on if you're coming."
He dumps his tray in the garbage and moves towards the door without stopping to see of you're coming.
Aananda was in the cafeteria, working her way through a mountain of pancakes.Vare makes his way cautiously into the cafeteria. It was busy this morning, both in the Dream and out, and the young wizard seems particularily flinchy, especially wary of having another tray of food dumped on him. He spots Aananda's distinctive form from across the cafeteria, and gently picks his way over to her.
"Good morning. I hope I am not interrupting you Ms. Aananda, but there is something I wished to discuss with you that had slipped my mind last night. Do you have a moment?" Even as he's standing there, Vare seems to duck and flinch quite often, though always without cause to Aananda.
"Sure. I'm just eating breakfast before I go start work on rebuilding my lab. What did you want to talk about?"

Genosuke arrives shortly after recieving the summons from Nala.
"Good morning to you all, thank you for honoring my request."
He sees Vasya, and beings to 'speak fox' to her, which was mostly short barks and body language.
** spoiler omitted **
back to the others he says...
"So, who is to do this service?"
Nala smiles as her familiar preens at the attention from Genosuke, but sobered again when he asked who was going to be casting the spell.
"I am, sir. I wanted to know which would be preferred, resurrection or reincarnation. We are certain that Hope has chosen a new Champion now so it is safe to proceed."
While they are searching, Ghalen breaks the silence with a query to Jeran...
"Jeran, in general, how would your people react to discovering a Lycan had chosen an elf as it's mate?"
"About how they react to anything that challenges the order of things. There would be bloodshed. Presumably the lycan in question would be strong enough to defend their mate. Or they would die with them."
He ponders that for a minute, then laughs!
"While Karma can be a fickle mistress, and imagining Keme having to exist as a gnoll or lizard man is a funny thought, since its my choice, I believe he'd prefer to remain a Kitsune. So, resurrection, if you please."
He ponders that for a minute, then laughs!
"While Karma can be a fickle mistress, and imagining Keme having to exist as a gnoll or lizard man is a funny thought, since its my choice, I believe he'd prefer to remain a Kitsune. So, resurrection, if you please."
She smiled in spite of herself. The thought of Keme as a lizard man was particularly funny...he'd be the vainest lizard ever.
"As you wish, sir. I will begin casting the spell," she said, pulling out a vial of diamond dust.
"About how they react to anything that challenges the order of things. There would be bloodshed. Presumably the lycan in question would be strong enough to defend their mate. Or they would die with them."
"Is there a precedent for this, an elf and lycan couple? If the lycan is successful defending their mate, is the matter closed, or do challenges continue?"
Frankly, Tyrrin found Jeran's notion that elves had to be protected or defended rather insulting, and had turned away from this discussion, instead focusing on playing the role of scout as Ghalen and Jeran discussed lycan culture. Even though Jaiye was obviously superior to Ehos in a straight fight, Ehos had magic... well. Would have magic, if he could speak.
She smiled in spite of herself. The thought of Keme as a lizard man was particularly funny...he'd be the vainest lizard ever.
"As you wish, sir. I will begin casting the spell," she said, pulling out a vial of diamond dust.
Vai also could not help but smirk at the notion of Keme turned into some strange being. Not that he would complain less.
She smiled in spite of herself. The thought of Keme as a lizard man was particularly funny...he'd be the vainest lizard ever.
"As you wish, sir. I will begin casting the spell," she said, pulling out a vial of diamond dust.
Nods, and steps back.
"Sure. I'm just eating breakfast before I go start work on rebuilding my lab. What did you want to talk about?"
"It may be best if we speak more privately. I would like to discuss the... being that was brought here yesterday. The pestilent one." Vare says a little more quietly, fully aware that nothing caused a panic like a disease. There was only so much clerics could do to stop a plague once it had begun."
"There are concerns as to whether bringing it inside our defenses was a wise choice."
Nodding at Ardiente, Tryko'Sam says when taking a moment to help the gnome, "Sounds like an idea. Given how aggressive folks are, and super powered, apparently, don't know how useful the course might be, but I'm the newbie here. I was thinking more responding to bigger threats.. Planetary, or to the school and city. Know what I mean?"
That said he shoots the gnome a quick glance.
"Remember that we only see and hear the loudest, the quickest to react, and the most powerful. I'm sure there are plenty at the school who are less so, and need help to learn."
Ardiente pauses and thinks about what Tryko'Sam had said. "Those do definitely sound like separate things, so let's not push them together. I would like to be part of what you're putting together. Do you need a list of my skills?" Ardiente asks, apparently all business, though he does spare a moment to give a polite nod to the gnome asking for directions.
"She is mine because I keep her safe and no one else can take her. I'm hers too. The voice that talks to her made me and told me that I would find a blue kobold and that I'm supposed to take care of her and keep her safe. That she was very important and I was put here to be her guardian. I was with her but she thinks I need to do more on my own so she left and I think if I find her she'll just leave again."
"Interesting. Why do you feel so beholden to this blue kobold... Tarka is her name? Even if some being created you for a purpose, that does not mean that you must follow their word. You are your own person now. I understand that Tarka may be important to you as a friend... but that should be /your/ choice, not the mandate of some other being."
"This Tarka sounds wise - you ought not to be so bound to her. Life is so much more rich than that."
"Remember that we only see and hear the loudest, the quickest to react, and the most powerful. I'm sure there are plenty at the school who are less so, and need help to learn."
Ardiente pauses and thinks about what Tryko'Sam had said. "Those do definitely sound like separate things, so let's not push them together. I would like to be part of what you're putting together. Do you need a list of my skills?" Ardiente asks, apparently all business, though he does spare a moment to give a polite nod to the gnome asking for directions.
"I guess that depends -- I mean, sure? So, you think I should ... yeah, okay." Apparently answering his own inner dialogue.
Then thinking on it, he adds, "We'll obviously wanna hang out one day when you're not running around madly, and talk more details. But, yeah, push together-- nope. I could probably stand to use some courses too in self-defense. I tend to get messy when doing that."
He grins.
Taking a drink of truly strong coffee, Ryo gestures and the door opens for Rena and Ascha.
"Come in and have a seat."
It really shouldn't be any suprise when both groups in the maze here the sound of insectile limbs on stone ahead of them.
"Hello again Headmaster." Rena says brightly and , trying not to giggle as she remembered his dreamscape appearance. He looked so... different. Strong and mysterious. Ryo mnight wonder why she said 'again'... he's fairly sure he's never seen this girl in his life. Rena wonders if he would want to 'play' later... though, given his reaction to Vare and Anahita, probably not. "Is Byhdrany around? Oh... do you even know Byhdrany?"
While she chatters away - maybe a bit nervous, Rena does come in and take a seat next to Asha, holding her hand so that they both could ease their nerves a bit.

"Ignace will be out soon I think. She doesn't know you're here, but believe me there is no rushing her when it comes to getting ready in the mornings."
Lang tries to hide a little laugh. She probably lost her shoes again remembering the other day when he stopped by.[/b]
Looking to Pyra. I understand if you cannot attend. I do hope Sorchan can attend. but if not would it be alright if Ignace goes? she can go with me.
Mel takes a seat in what she hopes in a co-pilot seat.
So what's first? how do we start the engines? how about flight controls. also what about the heat from the sun? we are going there to help with evacuations right?
Mel looks all around at the controls getting a feel for where everything is. Ok I'll shut-up now, and let you get on with the teaching
Please tell Sun for me then that I am sorry. but only as long as he will be nice to me as well, Also my two friends Zumma and Attila will be arriving in few hours that will make three of us. Lang said we will be bring a group of you back to the Temple today
Sun sits and open his bag, noticing a fruit cup. Lang switched bags with me. well as long as there are no bananas I guess its alright.
Sun starts to munch on his breakfast
Carl's ship lifts off the ground ready for take off, it's configures for space flight.
"Once there off Arthur we will follow, it's Mel's first time a flying, so I said we would follow just in case, but she's with that Jiminiy lad, and he seems ta know what he's about"
Then
"Tinman, could ya make us a pot o coffee, sweet and strong, them sit ya self down next ta me, ya me copilot on this trip, got ta have two for safety, Arthur's going to over see the loading, now this here's the..."
Carl gos on to show the robot ships the controls
"Hello again Headmaster." Rena says brightly and , trying not to giggle as she remembered his dreamscape appearance. He looked so... different. Strong and mysterious.

While she chatters away - maybe a bit nervous, Rena does come in and take a seat next to Asha, holding her hand so that they both could ease their nerves a bit.
Asha looked extremely nervous. She was grateful to Rena for holding her hand. She was so scared of being turned away. The lovely blond firebird was barely audible when she did speak.
"Hello, Headmaster. How do you do?"
"Sure. I'm just eating breakfast before I go start work on rebuilding my lab. What did you want to talk about?""It may be best if we speak more privately. I would like to discuss the... being that was brought here yesterday. The pestilent one." Vare says a little more quietly, fully aware that nothing caused a panic like a disease. There was only so much clerics could do to stop a plague once it had begun."
"There are concerns as to whether bringing it inside our defenses was a wise choice."
"Ah. That. No problem. That particular problem is fully contained. I can show you as soon as I'm done eating. Or I can bring up the video now if you'd prefer. Really, I don't think it will cause a panic given the number of precautions involved."
"Yes yes yes yes yes."
"Nero. . . . "

He dumps his tray in the garbage and moves towards the door without stopping to see of you're coming.
*sigh*
"That could have gone better."she follows behind at her usual pace.
"But I like Tarka. She is my kobold and I'm her dragon. I belong with her."
::ok guys, go time, get ready, tybs I'll draw it's attention you hit it from behind:: he turns to the third member of their group, ::you... try to hit it from a distance if you can, tybs you keep an eye on him, if you guys have any way to strengthen yourself before you fight, now would be the time to do it," he follows his own advice and casts a spell that boosts his magical power and skeets hastes them
