Lang takes a seat beside Tryko'Sam.
I sort of know what your feeling. maybe not as significant as yours but in a way we share some the same feelings.
Lang puts a hand on his shoulder, and does his best to speak as comforting as he can.
We both bear a burden that seems too big for each of us bear alone. a burden shared is a burden lessened...or something like that. The monks back home would always teach us not to bottle up or burdens we should share them and in doing so we release the negative Chi that these burdens fill us with. If you care to share what troubles you I can at least be an ear to listen.
Shrugging, Tryko'Sam says, "That's the f@!~ed part. I don't have all the pieces to know my own reactions- so, all this going on, I can't even safely say its me, or just my overworked imagination. Sure as Hell feels real, though, 'cause I don't think I'm a liar, but I have no personal attachment, just wild speculation. Tabula rosa, or some s!~#. If a man is defined by their memories, what am I without mine? Just a freak of the universe, a joke. I don't even know why this ... Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Everything else comes back, physically, just not the learned stuff. Great. What's the point, if it could just go away again?"
Clearly rambling a bit, it does appear Tryko'Sam's pain diminishes some with him talking, but, where his thoughts are leading him, that's anyone's guess right now.
"If yer a monk, why are you here? Didn't catch this was a school for religious people."
::thanks for the porting tybs, lets get going I don't want to be here when it wakes up.::
::I'm just glad it worked.::
He leads down a hall.
::What do you guys think is happening at the school right now?::
"Well, Mr. Callidus, if you can tell what you'd like to learn in addition to any interests you may have it will help the enrollment process greatly.""I don't really have interests considering my lack of knowledge of this place. I'm a bit of an odd case."
"Sounds like you might need to take History of Agartha. Other than that do you have anything particular you enjoy, such a a hobby?"
"While the boy may not have any interests, I have quite a few." he chuckles. "Relative to Avalon, I am interested in whatever large something teleported away from here last, and I am also interested in teaching here... I have reason to believe you are looking for a heavy blades teacher." He floats through the office and hovers in front of the headmasters desk.
He continues, "My name is Artha Sidd, it is a blessing to meet you. Namaste."
"I will have to speak to others, as I was quite distracted yesterday, but we are looking for a heavy blades teacher, so you're in luck. I am Headmaster Antairus, and it's a pleasure to meet you.'"

When I helped to resue you from your crash. You seemed confused, even afraid. You have been adapting to this place. it is so different than your home. Your mind has been through a lot of turmoil, its only natural you to feel this way.
Lang looks at himself concerning the Monk comment.
I am more than just a monk. I am here to learn. I need to learn how to harness my internal energies, My Chi energy. I won't bore you with my beliefs, I am not here to convert you.
Lang stands up. you are not a reak, not a joke, you are person that has lost his way and seeks a new road. only you can decide your destination. This schools is a part of your journey, and I am nothing more than a passanger willing to help you in this leg.
take the little knowledge you do have to work with. sit and meditate on that. focus youself on those memories channel your own Chi and the rest of your lost memeries will evetually be revealed to you.
Lang offers his hand to Tryko'Sam, a gesture of friendship. I need to speak to Mrs Blackscales about something, but If you want to talk some more I will stay and listen.

"Hm...I do like sneaking into places if that counts, flying, and practicing magic as well"
::well right now probably sleeping:: ::but earlier, hmm from my expirence, I'd say equal chances of party and schoolwode disaster, possibly both::

Nodding, taking the hand and shaking it, Tryko'Sam says, "Not useful, but definitely a positive approach to look at things. Thanks, Lang. Those memories aren't going to come back-- they were removed. Unless you know someone who has them and can give /my/ memories back, no meditation is going to help here. Dunno nothing about any Chinese Chi stuff, but, cool to hear. Good luck," he stands up now, looking around with hands on his hips, "with your studies. I guess thanks again for the help, twice now."
Looks as though Tryko'Sam's figuring out what to do next, but certainly calmer than he was earlier in the hall all balled up.
"Those are good names, Fieri. Pleased to meet you, cousins." Ardiente grinned back at her, all smiles. He was glad Fuego had not earned a place of honour among the names of her children. He gently ran his hands over the warm eggs as Fieri named them, getting up to do so.
"Honestly Raelle took me completely by surprised. I had resolved to move on with my feelings, no matter how hard that was going to be... but this. It's an incredible feeling."
"Hello." he whispers to the eggs happily as they reach out to him. "You're all very smart for your age."
"I don't really know Elle as well as I wish I did...I mean, I met here for the first time less than a year ago. But she strikes me as a very decisive person. Once she knows what she wants, she just goes for it."
She smiled an gently touched each of her eggs in turn.
"Given how active they are already, I'm a little bit dreading how much trouble they'll get into once they hatch. But I'm also looking forward to finally getting to hold them...."
"Well, enough sappy new mommy stuff...we have work to do. I guess we should get to it, right?"

If you are unsure what to do My friends and I are going to be flying on some Giant Owls. You can join us for a bit if you want to.
but later this afternoon I am returning to my home and some of my friends are joining me, for a special ceremony. the Temple elders would not allow any more than those that were already invited. I am very sorry about that
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Think no more of it, Keme. That was literally your old life. now, you have your own destiny to forge, unattached to that...creature.""Thanks, Gramps," he said, tearing up a little. "And sorry....for a lot of things. You were right about Esperanza...I thought I knew better. I thought I could do some good...and I did, but that was more in spite of her than because of her."Walks up to Keme, and nods approvingly, then places a hand on his shoulder...then pulls him into an embrace. He holds him for a moment, then regains his regal composure, and steps back.
"It warms my heart to see you, pup."
"Yeah. That's little overwhelming...I'm not quite sure where to go from here."
He looked over his shoulder. "Well, it looks like I still have five tails...she may have changed my development to make me a ore suitable candidate, but it seems to be separate from actually being her Champion. Huh. I kind of expected that to be reversed too..."

Chuckling lightly, Tryko'Sam says, "Thanks. I prefer my feet on solid ground-- falling or flying, all the same to me since I don't exactly 'fly' on my own, typically. Fall, sure, fly-- no. Plus, poor birds. Not really a fan of forcing animals to be a beast of burden, or whatever. But, when in Rome, right? Or whatever."
Glancing about, then peering off as if seeing something that catches his eye, Tryko'Sam says, "If you ever need someone to rant at, lemme know, least I can offer. Thanks for the help, Lang. You have fun with that ceremony, hope it all works out nice."
With that, Tryko'Sam stands up, walks off with a wave.
No Ignace, I understand, I have to discuss this with Mrs Blackscales. Will you at least fly on Simba with me today? we can talk some more about it then. I still am waiting to hear from your dad anyway, he might be attending.
He is about to leave but turns back around About hurting my family...I wouldn't have asked you to come if I didn't believe in you and your abilities. I always will believe in you. Meet me in the garden by the Willow tree when you are finished, you can meet Simba ok?
Ignace continued to look miserable as she stared at her breakfast.
"Just belief isn't enough," she whispered.
Lang stood there a minute or two.
dang it why can I help others but all I do is mess up my own life. I was rude to Igance, and her family. I should apologize
Lang goes to Ephebe's office door and is about to knock.
he stops, now wondering what to do. Ephebe can see Lang pacing outside her door apparently conficted and confused.
"Okay, professors, if you're ready, let's go see about my brother...."Vare looks around momentarily at the question directed at him. "Oh, am I joining you? Sorry, I was a little distracted there. You need my assistance?"
"I was going to explain to you about the patient we were discussing...and we might as well do that while taking care of this other thing. Come on, the cafeteria is obviously not the best place for you," she said, shaking her head at his distractedness.
"I don't mean to be the downer here, Keme. I'm glad you've returned...
I would like to speak with you, in private, as soon as it's convenient."
"Yeah....I guess there's some stuff that you need to know," he said with a glance at Vai. "Because these aren't events we want repeated."
::You're probably right. Mouse in the box with the poison and all that. . . .::
He yawns.
::Let's see if we can just get to the end. Maybe we can use Tyrrin's mansion thing after this. It's.::
He looks at his watch.
::One in the morning back home.::
He remains on the lookout for anything.
"Okay! That was easy, and look, these maps have our room on them. Let's go!" Rena says excitedly, floating off of the floor for a moment in her excitement - though her wings are folded and not flapping. "And then after that what should we do? Oh... you should meet Bradley. He's a real hero. He saved people yesterday by taking all their hurt onto himself. He's very brave. And handsome too." Rena seems to be practically bounding and full of energy after the meeting with the Headmaster - afterglow in full effect.
"Uh...okay," Asha said, laughing. She felt so relieved. "Room first, then...meeting this other person...ummm....what about Tryko'Sam? We were going to meet up with him after.....well, I just don't want to be rude. I'm sure he has other stuff to do too...."
Dave also looks
Arthur looks at her funny "are you ok was it something I said?"Mel shakes her head trying to regain composure well not exactly, no it wasn't what you said. I'll explain later. we have work to do
Mel gets into a more business like attitude. switching on the radio.
Carl, you hear me? I got Arthur here with me. we're following right behind you. just keep the flight path clear rookie pilot coming through
She tries to reach Jiminy on the comms.
Jiminy? I don't know if I'm working this right, can you hear me?
::You're doing fine, Melody. You've got this. I just saw another person boarding your shuttle...so you should be alright with backup. I've got a hungover pilot over here who is a danger to himself and others if I leave him behind the wheel, so you're gonna have to get down by yourselves. I wouldn't let you if I didn't think you could handle it.::
Carl wakes with a start
"What bleenin time is it!"
he sits up on the grass, getting out his fob watch, 1/3 and hour good, ship will be ready now
he gets up and walks back into the Hammershaft to see HRMS-XI "Hermes" "Working on improving his ship..."
"Hermes! what the bleedin hell you doing to me ship?"
Lang stood there a minute or two.
dang it why can I help others but all I do is mess up my own life. I was rude to Igance, and her family. I should apologize
Lang goes to Ephebe's office door and is about to knock.
he stops, now wondering what to do. Ephebe can see Lang pacing outside her door apparently conficted and confused.
She opens the door.
"Whatever it is won't get better by wearing a hole in the floor, Lang. I already told you, you can come talk to me anytime, whatever happens to be bothering you."
And the cat looks at the fishman.... eyes slitting...."Hey Sorun. How the water been?" Hew responds excitedly. "Great! Sheess is back too!"
"Ohaiyou Sorun-kun." Midori says brightly to their merfolk friend as he joins them. "Did Sheess go somewhere, Sorun-kun?"
Lang stood there a minute or two.

"Whatever it is won't get better by wearing a hole in the floor, Lang. I already told you, you can come talk to me anytime, whatever happens to be bothering you."
I know, I just am thinking about how to say what I want. I am bothe excited and sad at the same time.
Lang comes it and bows then takes a seat
Mrs Blackscales I guess first I want to thank you for letting me travel home. but I am soryy I could not be here during this attack. But, while at home I confered with my temple elders about what we found on the SUn and also our unexpected trip to the Planet Haven. and, well..Tomorrow there is to be a ceremony where I will be presented to leaders of the bending communities and I will confered the title of Air bending master.
Lang then stands and bows again to Ephebe. It would be a great honor, as my teacher, for you to attend this ceremony as my personal guest. along with Ignace, Midori, Grim, Hew, Zilla, Sorun, and Sara
Lang awaits her response before continuing with what else is on his mind as it is clear that something else is bothering him.
"I don't really know Elle as well as I wish I did...I mean, I met here for the first time less than a year ago. But she strikes me as a very decisive person. Once she knows what she wants, she just goes for it."

"Well, enough sappy new mommy stuff...we have work to do. I guess we should get to it, right?"
"I'm trained to be a bodyguard, not a babysitter." Ardiente says with a sudden mock-panicked look on his face, before breaking into a smile. "But we are at a school, so I suppose I can learn when you need help."
"It's fine if you want to stay Fieri, I can manage on my... own.,," Ardiente trails off at the end of that sentence, obviously remembering something. He shakes his head after, frowning. "Actually... I think I need help. I'm sorry."

"uh no need to panic, I've flown dozens of times before, this probably isn't too different, uh yes let's see first this dial, then this..." He seems to know something of what to do, and is handling the craft well, though nothing that could be called masterfully
He then turns on the radio ::uh hey Hermes, remember not to actually remove the old systems until after the new one is finished, and preferably tested::

Mel watches him a moment Ahh.. Arthur, I was only joking, I do know how to land. but, better let me do this, Its my detention and I really need to get some flight time in.
She smiles at him hoping he will give the controls back to her.
"I was going to explain to you about the patient we were discussing...and we might as well do that while taking care of this other thing. Come on, the cafeteria is obviously not the best place for you," she said, shaking her head at his distractedness.
"Yes, I am sorry. When more beings are present, it becomes... difficult to focus. I am with you." he says soberly, flinching once again at something unseen.
"Uh...okay," Asha said, laughing. She felt so relieved. "Room first, then...meeting this other person...ummm....what about Tryko'Sam? We were going to meet up with him after.....well, I just don't want to be rude. I'm sure he has other stuff to do too...."
"We could go meet with Tryko'Sam too. We did say we would find him after all." Rena says, finally noticing Asha's deep relief even through her own elation. "Asha..." she begins, turning to her friend and setting an arm on the firebird's shoulder. A moment in her speech, Rena's hand starts wandering slightly, enjoying the feel of the fabric.
"If you don't want your parents to come and take you, then I /will not/ let them. And if I fail in that way, I /will/ come to find you again and take you away from them. I promise you that. You're my friend, and I will fight and give my all to my friends. Alright?"
"Yeah....I guess there's some stuff that you need to know," he said with a glance at Vai. "Because these aren't events we want repeated."
"I'm very glad you're back with us Keme." Vai says quietly from the sidelines, still fighting a battle with the panic which had welled up within her. It was slowly ebbing away though.
"Let's get moving again. There may still be quite alot of ground to cover, and we've only got so much time before we have to turn around." Tyrrin says, neatly stepping around the Remorahz's corpse to move on.
::What's up with the strange professor?:: Ehos asks Jaiye as they begin once again to move towards the detention room. He was steeling himself for this encounter.
After Ehos, Jaiye, and the professors leave, Phaezeriel leaves the cafeteria and heads to the infirmary.
"I have made a simple efficiency change. Paper punch cards need to be replaced frequently, I have used spare metal sheets to make prepunched cards to serve the same purpose. These will not need replacement and serve the same purpose. I have estimated that you will save approximately 3000 unit coins imperial over the course of your lifetime."
He hands the cards over to Carl.
He responds to Arthur.
::I have only made what equates to a cosmetic change to reduce expenses.::
"3000, Ya say, Tinman, well well well"
Carl holds the now metal Cards and looks at them.
"Them old paper ones did need to be recut about once a mouth, so I can see what ya saying, but we dwarfs have a saying, 'If it an't broke don't fix it' so this one time am happy with ya sugection, and in future if ya have any more I'm happy for ya to let me know, with the coin saved of couse"
Carl comes over and pats HRMS-XI on the back, he seems very happy
"right looks like we are ready to get back up, so over ya you, power up and lets get inta the air, we can do another trip before lunch.
Carl starts feeding the new punch cards into the slot.
"There is still more equipment with capacity to be improved. If you would like, we could convene at a time convenient for you and I could show you my ideas. If financial gain is the purpose of this vessel, and there are ways to further that, then it is indeed broken."
He takes a seat at the helm and radios the control tower.
"Hammershaft ready for take off. Are we clear for take off?"
Jiminy may or may not have heard Hermes' voice before.
"Think no more of it, Keme. That was literally your old life. now, you have your own destiny to forge, unattached to that...creature.""Thanks, Gramps," he said, tearing up a little. "And sorry....for a lot of things. You were right about Esperanza...I thought I knew better.

He looked over his shoulder. "Well, it looks like I still have five tails...she may have changed my development to make me a ore suitable candidate, but it seems to be separate from actually being her Champion. Huh. I kind of expected that to be reversed too..."
"Of course you're still the youngest to earn five tails. You're in my direct line, of course."
"Yeah....I guess there's some stuff that you need to know," he said with a glance at Vai. "Because these aren't events we want repeated.""I don't mean to be the downer here, Keme. I'm glad you've returned...
I would like to speak with you, in private, as soon as it's convenient."
"I'm glad you understand my intent, Keme. When you are well, but sooner rather than later, please. I will leave you in peace for now."
He pauses... "Another attempt may be made on you, be wary."He bows to the room, and moves to leave, throwing a wink Nala's way.
"Indeed. Jeran, take point as before please, I will watch our flank."
I know, I just am thinking about how to say what I want. I am bothe excited and sad at the same time.Lang comes it and bows then takes a seat

Lang awaits her response before continuing with what else is on his mind as it is clear that something else is bothering him.
"I would be honored to attend, Lang. I'll have to arrange a substitute for the children who aren't going, of course."
"So what's actually bothering you."
Phaezeriel slips into the infirmary, checks in, and begins making his way through to check on the patients.
"I'm trained to be a bodyguard, not a babysitter." Ardiente says with a sudden mock-panicked look on his face, before breaking into a smile. "But we are at a school, so I suppose I can learn when you need help.""It's fine if you want to stay Fieri, I can manage on my... own.,," Ardiente trails off at the end of that sentence, obviously remembering something. He shakes his head after, frowning. "Actually... I think I need help. I'm sorry."
"So is this a sign of maturity or did you just remember promising Elle that you wouldn't go out by yourself?" she asked with a grin.
"I was going to explain to you about the patient we were discussing...and we might as well do that while taking care of this other thing. Come on, the cafeteria is obviously not the best place for you," she said, shaking her head at his distractedness."Yes, I am sorry. When more beings are present, it becomes... difficult to focus. I am with you." he says soberly, flinching once again at something unseen.
"You must have a hard time with meals...you can use the elementary school cafeteria if you want, you know. There are usually less people there," she said, grabbing his arm to pull him out of the way of a young boy who couldn't see where he was going over the tall stack of pancakes he was carrying. "I'll make sure you don't run into anything."
She led the way out of the cafeteria and to the white room.
"Uh...okay," Asha said, laughing. She felt so relieved. "Room first, then...meeting this other person...ummm....what about Tryko'Sam? We were going to meet up with him after.....well, I just don't want to be rude. I'm sure he has other stuff to do too...."

Asha nodded, afraid to speak because she might cry if she tried. She'd never had a friend before, certainly not one who would fight for her and protect her.
"Thank you," she said, giving Rena a fierce hug.
I know, I just am thinking about how to say what I want. I am bothe excited and sad at the same time.Lang comes it and bows then takes a seat

"I would be honored to attend, Lang. I'll have to arrange a substitute for the children who aren't going, of course."
"So what's actually bothering you."
Lang sits back down and looks around to make sure nobody else is around.
Well, Its Ignace, You see, I /like/ her. But i don't know how to tell her. and I always end up saying the wrong things, or doing something stupid. I don't know what to do. Now I'm afraid she won't go the the ceremony because i think I made her sad this morning after probably saying something stupid, again.
Lang looks upset at himself as well as embarrassed a little I don't understand and I don't know what to do.
"There is still more equipment with capacity to be improved. If you would like, we could convene at a time convenient for you and I could show you my ideas. If financial gain is the purpose of this vessel, and there are ways to further that, then it is indeed broken."
He takes a seat at the helm and radios the control tower.
"Hammershaft ready for take off. Are we clear for take off?"
Jiminy may or may not have heard Hermes' voice before.
"If financial gain is the purpose of this vessel, If? this heres a Dwarf ship whaat other purpose could it have. But ya has me interest with other money making ideas so ya have, ya can tell me about em once we are done with this we task. Today I'm working for free to keep young Jiminy happy bus just given me Mining concessions and its best to keep him happy"
"Very good then, I shall start immediately. And do not worry of my other request, I will find out in time."Artha replies with a grin, as he turns his attention to Lyere,"Hmmm, sneaking and casting, you say? Interesting.
