"It is a good way to practice flying in harsh conditions though" he lifts off again
"Try flying around a bit, like we did before"
"Yeah, sure."
Settro has no problem flying in intricate patters, avoiding lightning and dealing with the shifting winds.
Sara is laying down across a couple seats playing with a string she found in her bag, pretending it's a snake. She ate earlier.
Lyere's flight, while now as tight as yours, lets him weave through the lightning. Allowing the winds to carry him on his flexible wings instead of fighting it, flapping when the winds drop or lower.
"So, there really isn't much here, is there?"
settro says, still flying about.
"Not really, unless you want to go to the other three and let me drop in a few demons to play with" he smirks, settling down on one of the rocks and folding his wings
"Meh, not really. It's just like the abyss in that respect. Find a good, safe spot, and laze around."
he flys near you, hovering about the rock. He seems to be used to this now, and is handling it with no problem.
"How about we go to your home now? I'd rather not be here if the sim managed to get Tzeentch in here even as a simulation"
"It will only do what you programmed it to do. And are you sure you want to?"
Midori glances at Lang, not showing any sign that she had grasped his hidden meaning. "Of course, Lang-kun. Would you like to speak about it in private?" Well... maybe she /had/ gotten it, with an unexpected offer like that.
Hew nods to Lang as the arrived. "Of course me and ZIlla would be happy to go. I think she's dancing around about it but I'm not looking to find out." He smiles to convey he was slightly exaggerating. "So this is a celebration for gaining rank with our people?" Hew smiles back to Midori when she smiled to him. He didn't seem to realize that it was forced at all. "If you two would like to talk privately you could just meet us at the sim rooms." He offers hoping they would appreciate the offer. "I'm sure Zilla won't mind waiting a bit while you talk and I'm sure we can find something to entertain our selves in the sim room." He tells the two while glancing toward everyone else.
He nods seriously "I want to see it, it'll be good to learn about the other realms"
"Well then... End sim."
the sim and all effects in it flicker out.
"Now... Go and load up my abyssal sim."
you find yourself in a tight corridor in a cave system. The floor is rough like rust, and the smell of blood permeates the air.
"Good luck. I'll be watching."
settro fades out.
"Interesting" he looks around, wrapping his wings around him like a cloak as he takes out his staff.
there doesn't seem to be anything of importance. No creatures you can see. the cave goes in two directions- you can go backwards and forewords, and that's it, aside from a little room on both sides of you.
He moves forward, making as little noise as he can
the cave begins to twist and turn as you walk, but nothing out of the ordinary, until you come to a cross in the "road".
Upon seeing the fork in the road, he makes a mark on the ground with his staff, inspecting the three forks in the road afterward
"It works better if you put it on."
He says in a kinda joking sort of way.
[Felidae]"Do you have a name you want Cold Feathers to call you?"[/Catonese]
Over the course of the last minute or so the torn threads on Tybalt's shirt have been pulling themselves back together
[Purrsian]"Lamai."[/catonese]
He nods, slipping it on and seeming to take comfort in it's weight. He picks up the small chest and holds it tight.
"I guess I'm ready to go..."
none of the pathways seem to be much diffrent, largely because they all twist and turn so much that there isn't much you can see before the cave has twisted off into another direction
Lyere thinks for a moment, finally settling on the right path and walking down it
as you start walking down the path, you see the tunnel begin to warp and close in, and the warping is moving towards you.
Vai shakes her head in the negative at that. "Faith is a choice too, right? I dunno... maybe it's more like.. destiny? I dunno. I think Faith is finding a worthy cause and dedicating yourself to it. I.. I mean, just this morning, I decided to follow Lathander. Also a god of the Sun, but also of rebirth and creation. It sounds like Lathander and the Dawnflower are quite similar in at least some ways." Vai is calm and serene now, running her hand through the ever-growing grass, as if suddenly realizing that it was longer than some of the other grass on the green.
"I think, at very least, it bears investigating, but I'm not sure how or where we could start. What do you think? We don't have a sample of your brain wave patterns or DNA from before this change, so we can't tell that way... do you mind if I inspect you for magical effects?" Vai asks, her curiousity piqued apparently by this story from the Champion of Life.
Shrugging, Anahita says, "I am unsure if faith is a choice or not. I believe what I do, I do so with a full understanding and grasp of the how and why, but I have never felt the need to explore things beyond nature, as much. Or it's intricate workings- the minutiae of details to explain reasons, and yet, now more so than before- I most certainly desire it, even crave it. Is that not who I was or am? Does it matter? So many thoughts and queries, so much to grasp as true or not. By all means, please do as you wish, I've no idea what these DNA things are you speak of, though, how my brain makes waves ... Fascinating, I had no idea. This is the longest conversation I have ever had, and I don't wish it to stop."
She does smile brightly, while the world around her continues to thrive.
"Uh-oh"
He immeadiately throws his pattern back towards the fork in the road
the distortion is still coming, and fast, and the only way is left now.
He runs for the left, occasionally throwing his pattern for extra range away from the distortion, however, he is laughing rather than being entirely scared now, finding a sort of thrill to being chased by something that can and would most likely kill him if given the chance.
[Fuzzy Feline Phonetics]"That's a pretty name. Does it mean anything special?"[/Vernacular Catacular]
"She says her name is Lamai."
He gets up and stretches.
"If you're going with Tyrrin that means it's us four going back to the drop. I've lost a little too much blood to teleport us all the way back. Unless you want a chance to end up several hundred feet into bed rock, we're walking."
"That's a good name." Pyry agrees, looking at the leopard.
as you rush through, the caves twist and turn and branch off, a natural maze. You have very little time, and rush down a wrong direction, the distortion blocking the way back out of the dead end.
zix wanders
zix may run into an anthropompthic dog that looks rather uncomfortable.
picture, except in school uniform colored clothes.
Lyere closes his eyes and concentrates, his staff glowing faintly as his hand touches a spot on the wall behind him, a second later he disappears into the hidden passage.
you break into a corridor farther in the maze. A little odd, though, because you could have sworn the wall would have been closer then it is with how fast it was going, but when you look at it, it's moving the same speed.
you once again, wind up in a passage way that is a dead end. You ran a long way down this one without seeing any any other path.
"Heh, backed into a corner, no discernible way out, good fun none-the-less" he lets out a sigh, giving one last look at the passage
Lang looks to Hew, What are youtalking about? lang asks regarding hew's comment about being alone.
but anyway, yes i am being honored. I am the yougest in our temple to achieve the rank of sifu, or air bending master. I will be allowed to teach my art to others.
Lang has a drink of juice. Then gets up i need touse the little avatar room. he jokes referencing the restroom.
He pats midori on the shoulder as he leaves.
"Heh, backed into a corner, no discernible way out, good fun none-the-less" he lets out a sigh, giving one last look at the passage

She does smile brightly, while the world around her continues to thrive.
Vai smiles at that, masking her uncertainty regarding Anahita's questions of the nature of faith, and her question of self. "Oh... DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, it's.. basically the blueprint of a person. It tells your body how and what to build. I don't know too much about the details, I'm still learning biology. Er..."
Again, Vai looks a little uncertain at Anahita's eagerness to continue the conversation, even though Vai herself had shown no sign of wanting to quit either. "Well, is there anything in particular you want to talk about? I mean, we've kinda reached a dead-end on the... uh.. faith thing. I mean... do you want to... take action? Find out why you were so... changed?"
After Lang is gone and without looking away from her string/the ceiling.
"Do you think bending needs you to be special before you can do it, or can Lang just teach anyone how to move air around? I could help teach baby birdies to fly if I could do that."
In a last ditch effort to save himself from being crushed, Lyere rushes into a nearby shadow that runs along one of the walls "Shadow Walk"
the spell fizzles out and fails and impending doom comes closer.
