"What happened?" Pyry asks curiously, looking up at then both and wondering what could make the school be 'subdued' so early in the morning.
Thinking quickly, Ghalen says
"There was an equipment malfunction, they had to move the infirmary into the cafeteria for a while yesterday. Some kind of EM pulse, I heard. I'm sure this wasn't a pleseant place to be during that time..."He is telling the truth, but he's leaving something out.
"Cool. It's nice. I wonder if these things can leave the room or if they're only real here."
He snaps and the door opens.
He picks up a small bongo drum and tosses it out the door.
It flies out the door and lands back in Tybalt's hands as he now stands outside.
He appears back in the room and the door closes again.
"Cool. Guess they're real."
He sets the bongo down as the measure tape slides back down Dom and over to Tybalt and up his arm.
He looks at the purple lights on a section of the tape. Unless you can read catfolk you don't know what it says.
"Dude, you are way too perfect to just be human."
Shaking his head he replies. "Ugh. Don't remind me. That simple fact has given me enough grief. Though it has it's perks too." He glances over to Tami with a coy smile.
Royston gets the faint scent of pine needles from somewhere in the copse of bushes ahead of him along the schoolgrounds... which is extremely strange, since this area is definitely /not/ coniferous.
Royston seeks to see what is there
Then three waves of negating power radiate out from in in the direction of the suspect-thing.
Then seeks to see if it has a mind of any kind
"Sorry. Didn't mean anything by it. I mean, I'm not human and I'm obviously perfect."
He says, obviously being sarcastic.
Done with the synthesizer, he starts a warm up.
♪♪♪♪♪♪♪Mursic♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
Shaking his head he replies. "Ugh. Don't remind me. That simple fact has given me enough grief. Though it has it's perks too." He glances over to Tami with a coy smile.
Tami chuckled, lounging on the bed while the boys talked music. "Well I'm certainly not going to argue that you aren't perfect."
"We can always use new teachers, but I must ask that should the 'homicidal orc' you just mentioned come looking for you that you leave school grounds until the matter is settled in order to keep the students safe."
"I doubt he'll come for me, I blew the Gate I used so far into the Outlands that shards of it are probably raining down on the Blood King and the Betrayer."
"Maybe. Maybe I'm not taking the time to process them. Head stuff, not my forte."
He smiles for a moment, gently puts his hands out to stop Rena's physical efforts, whispering to her, "Okay, you need to stop the physical effort here, please, the body feeling good, isn't quite the same as mind, plus public company and all.... It's wonderfully distracting, but potentially inappropriate right now, and I'm not able to think clearly while you're doing that. Thank you though."
His manner and tone are extremely calm when he whispers this, then looks back at Vare saying, "I'm not religious, no offense, not sure that's going to help. Most of the time, things like this were sorted out with talking and time. Maybe I am in shock- I doubt that though. I've endured things, apparently, few people can say they have and survived, but, it's like the parts aren't mentally right. Best I can describe, I'm watching myself, and the reactions aren't mine, just somewhat mine maybe I really just need to vent some built up anger?."
He's guessing, it would appear, but not too far fetched.
He...
"It could be both...somehow you were the victim of a spell that just exaggerated bad feelings you already were having. If you got bad news...people usually get more violent when they've recently had something unpleasant happen to them....maybe you need to find something you can fight? And if this person the professor is suggesting is good at dealing with problems of the mind, it can't hurt to at least ask him to look at it...you said something about your brain being....I don't know exactly, but if there was damage it only makes sense to have someone look at it. And I don't understand why where you come from they think talking works better than divine magic."
Asha still seemed wary, but she wasn't running away. She appeared to be a quick learner and fairly intelligent, listening to everyone else before speaking.
"Maybe we should do the tea party another time...."
Her voice is semi muffled as the lower part of her face is covered by the teddy bear.
Ephebe sighed. "Yes, I'm afraid that's going to be necessary."
"Zilla, if you like, you can stay and speak with Ignace. I think that she might be willing to listen to you."
"The rest of you, I think it's time to leave. Grim and Hew, could you please ask Lang to come and speak with me in my office later? I have a feeling he's going to need to talk things out."
"Geez.... What a way to wake up. I suppose that does give me time to make my own outfit, though."
carabian doesn't do much, she just kinda sits there in Sarah's arms.
Kiara slowly heads out of her room, "Note to self; do NOT cast the mindscape spell more than once in a row, objective one food, objective two classes, objective three homework," she groaned, "I'm gonna be up to my proverbial, if not literal, eyeballs in paperwork."
Raelle finally got her food, a generous helping of charred cheese sandwiches and a carafe of italian dressing, and headed back over to where Melody and the others were sitting.
"Hey...uh....I don't think we've met," she said to Arthur and Hermes. "I'm Raelle."
Loki hovers in the cafeteria, wondering what sort of trouble he could cause. He looks around and smirks, "Perfect target," he mumbles as he climbs along the ceiling after drinking a potion. He presses himself to the ceiling and carefully aims a vial at the carafe.
"Greetings Raelle. I am HRMS-XI, called Hermes for time purposes. It is good to meet you."
It holds it's hand out two feet too far to the right for a hand shake.
The part of its face where the eyes would be has broken glass shards. It isn't too big a leap to guess that it can't see.
She holds it up facing her at arms length to talk to it.
"You can have a pretty dress too. And we can match. Does anyone else want to come?"
She says excitedly after moving the bear down a bit to address other people.
"Woah! That's... Disorienting..."
she says as she gets spun around.
Kiara heads down the hall toward the cafeteria, grumbling to herself as she studies her spells on the way.
igni sits in the corner of the caphatira, quitly watching everything go on.
Loki drops the small vial into the carafe and watches for anything that might tip anyone off about the potion.
Tami chuckled, lounging on the bed while the boys talked music. "Well I'm certainly not going to argue that you aren't perfect."
Shaking his head he replies. "Ugh. Don't remind me. That simple fact has given me enough grief. Though it has it's perks too." He glances over to Tami with a coy smile.

Raelle slid over far enough to reach and shook his proferred hand. "Nice to meet you, Hermes. Umm...did something happen to your eyes? I'm sorry, was that rude? I wasn't trying to be rude. It's just...Umm...I think I can fix it..."
"Oh, never mind," she said after Arthur spoke. "I guess you've already got it covered. Nice to meet you too Arthur."
"My apologies, sir."
It shakes raelle's hand and puts it's hand back down.
"Thank you for the offer. My visual cameras were broken by a sonic pulse during testing on my data pad. They are being fixed. You may try to fix my left camera while sir repairs the right. Any mishaps can be broken and corrected again."
Dave laughs and begins singing a song"
"At least we'll be the prettiest band."
He sticks his tongue out at Dave.
Cute cat person is cute.
Arthur looks up "oh? Are you one of the few technically minded students, or are you referring to a more Majikal solution"
"Umm...no, it's not magic. It's uh...well...psychic, I guess. I see patterns....of like everything. It's hard to explain. But if I tweak the pattern a little bit I can put things back the way they're supposed to be."
She focused on the eye Hermes said she could fix, moving her fingers a little as if she were manipulating something and the pieces of his eye gathered and fused together into a single whole piece as if it had never been damaged.
"Like that."
"I'm adequate at best when it comes to technical stuff. I can see what needs to be done, but I'm not really so great at actually building machines and stuff."
Mel was a little distracted when Raelle came over but when the "distraction" finished walking past, Mel turned back to the others.
Oh hey Raelle, sorry, i was a little...ahhh...lost in thought
seeing Arthur and Raelle getting acquainted Oh good you two have met, that is great. anyway Raelle, I am sorry about that whole girls night mess, I hope we can try again sometime, maybe with less explosions and stuff.
"That is amazing, is it possible to teach that kind of stuff?"
"Maybe? I don't really understand how it works yet...uh, actually it doesn't always. But I'm getting better at it. I'm still pretty new at this...actually that's what all these are from," she said pointing to the different 'tattoos' visible on her. "Each pattern represents a different ability. I still don't know what they all do yet."
Mel was a little distracted when Raelle came over but when the "distraction" finished walking past, Mel turned back to the others.
Oh hey Raelle, sorry, i was a little...ahhh...lost in thought
seeing Arthur and Raelle getting acquainted Oh good you two have met, that is great. anyway Raelle, I am sorry about that whole girls night mess, I hope we can try again sometime, maybe with less explosions and stuff.
"Yeah, that'd be awesome. And you certainly don't have to apologize, Mel. Last night went pretty haywire for all of us. I'm glad you were able to save Tami though. Thanks for that," she said sincerely, taking a bite of her highly burnt food.
So Raelle, where have you been anyway? you kind of disappeared after the attack. Of course I haven't been all that available either though. but I have been up to the firebird sun today.
Mel is still wearing a shuttle pilot flight suit indicating where she has been.
Lang is still sitting under his willow tree Sorun seems to be hanging out with him and Sun is also with him.
lang definitely does not look very happy at the moment.
If you would have talked to me I could have told you not to go there, but you never listen to me do you.
Sun says to him obviously not doing much to help his mood. but it is probably stuff lang needs to hear. even if it is from a baboon.
"Maybe. Maybe I'm not taking the time to process them. Head stuff, not my forte."
He smiles for a moment, gently puts his hands out to stop Rena's physical efforts, whispering to her, "Okay, you need to stop the physical effort here, please, the body feeling good, isn't quite the same as mind, plus public company and all.... It's wonderfully distracting, but potentially inappropriate right now, and I'm not able to think clearly while you're doing that. Thank you though."
He's guessing, it would appear, but not too far fetched.
Unfortunately for Rena, she had gotten herself all 'hot and bothered' by doing that, and she pouts slightly when Tryko'Sam stops her and whispers to her. She bites her lip, but does lower her hands and pull herself away from him, respecting his wishes. "I understand... I just don't know how to help. Maybe I can't help. All I did was make myself horny." she replies in the same quiet whisper, just after Asha had finished speaking.

"What happened?" Pyry asks curiously, looking up at then both and wondering what could make the school be 'subdued' so early in the morning.Thinking quickly, Ghalen says
"There was an equipment malfunction, they had to move the infirmary into the cafeteria for a while yesterday. Some kind of EM pulse, I heard. I'm sure this wasn't a pleseant place to be during that time..."
** spoiler omitted **
Tyrrin raised an eyebrow to Ghalen, but as they move off to a table together, she attempts to change the topic slightly, seguing into a related topic. "If that is the case, I suspect my telescope will need some repairs. Which is a shame."
Royston's dispelling wave must've knocked out whatever was shielding the suspicious thing, because it suddenly appears, apparently moving away from him. A humanoid, though cloaked in black with a hood pulled over his head. He's moving quickly away through the brush, out into the forest proper. Royston hears him curse, though not in Common.
The man appears to be attempting to slip back out of sight... Royston catches a glint of reflected light from something in the man's hand.
"Telescope?" Pyry asks as they sit down. The word sounded familiar...
"Maybe we should do the tea party another time...."
Her voice is semi muffled as the lower part of her face is covered by the teddy bear.Ephebe sighed. "Yes, I'm afraid that's going to be necessary."
"Zilla, if you like, you can stay and speak with Ignace. I think that she might be willing to listen to you."
"The rest of you, I think it's time to leave. Grim and Hew, could you please ask Lang to come and speak with me in my office later? I have a feeling he's going to need to talk things out."
Midori is just a little hurt that she was invited to try to help.. which was silly of course, because she couldn't even figure out her own feelings, let alone help another person figure theirs out. Still, it hurt.
Midori hesitates slightly, then turns and hurries out of the room without saying anything, glancing back at the group when she reaches the door, looking just a little forlorn.
So Raelle, where have you been anyway? you kind of disappeared after the attack. Of course I haven't been all that available either though. but I have been up to the firebird sun today.
Mel is still wearing a shuttle pilot flight suit indicating where she has been.
"Umm..." she blushed just a little. "Well, Ardiente and Fieri were traveling around telling all the abjured firebirds about what had happened so they aren't taken by surprise when the sun goes boom, and the ones who want to can try to reconnect with their families. But after all the events of last night, Fi was needed here at the school. So I went with Ardiente."
"Telescope?" Pyry asks as they sit down. The word sounded familiar...
"It's a device made for looking at the sky in great detail Pyry. Do you remember when the sky changed, some five months ago?" Tyrrin says passionately, obviously passionate about this topic.
"Oh. Yeah, I remember that night. I freaked out because I couldn't see the Sun anymore. What's in the sky that's interesting?"
Tryko'Sam considered Asha for a moment then nodded. "Something is off, I know it, but can't explain the why exactly... It is equally frustrating. As for divine magics, do you mean miracles? Priests where I came from pretty much were part therapists, speakers, councilers of sorts, and well, other things. Nothing I knew as divine though. What's the difference? Gods are real?"
He glanced between those gathered still and then smirked after the whisper by Rena. "You're being quite the natural at this human form there, Rena. You sure this is your first time?" He grinned at that, then looked off back at Asha.
"See, what you just said makes sense. Someone's mucking around, but the question is ... Why? Right? Pretty sure I don't really know anyone here yet- and yeah, I certainly don't feel or think as I did yesterday during the explosions. Things changed after meeting with that Ephebe girl. Think our wires or something got crossed? Who's this Psionic person were talking about? Maybe they can sense some mind tampering if it's not detectable with your spell, Prof?"
He nods to Ephebe to acknowledge her request. Hew then makes his way out, glancing back once to check if everyone is still ok.
"Well that was weird." He says after waling out in to the hall. "Grim you have any clue what just happened?"
"Oh. Yeah, I remember that night. I freaked out because I couldn't see the Sun anymore. What's in the sky that's interesting?"
"Alot." Tyrrin says passionately... and also speaking fairly casually, forgetting herself for a moment. "The universe is so huge and wonderful, Pyry. You should see it."
The man appears to be attempting to slip back out of sight... Royston catches a glint of reflected light from something in the man's hand.
::"Gide inform school security at once, you have a spy just outside the prometer"::
Running into undergrowth dos not help the interloper, Royston now has a lock on their mind, the surprise had given them a head start, but Royston has a lot of expirannce running down suspects. He moved with linding speed, at times defying gravity, as he did he manifested his pistols, he had hoped this would not end in violance, but his training kicked in, in an instant he had flanked the moved in front of the form.
"Holt now and be recugnised, or be restraind this is your only warning"

Royston had him locked,
He hit him again with a suspend wave to stop any teleporting away.
"Maybe we should do the tea party another time...."

Midori hesitates slightly, then turns and hurries out of the room without saying anything, glancing back at the group when she reaches the door, looking just a little forlorn.
Zilla calls out to her before she gets to far. "We'll meet up later ok." She then waves good bye, a little sad to see one of her best friends leaving.
Zilla walks over to Ignace. "Are you ok? I don't know what he did but it's ok I'm here for you." She tells her in a calm soothing voice. "Is there anything I can do for you?" She asks then waits to listen to Ignace.
"no... not really, but I helped last time, I don't know why I had to go"
Dave laughs and begins singing a song"Tami chuckled, lounging on the bed while the boys talked music. "Well I'm certainly not going to argue that you aren't perfect."
Shaking his head he replies. "Ugh. Don't remind me. That simple fact has given me enough grief. Though it has it's perks too." He glances over to Tami with a coy smile.
Dom chuckles at Tami's comment and replies. "Oh I see oh I see how it is. I get the perfect woman in my bed and all she does is tease me about my imperfections." He teases back.
"Prettiest band huh. There we go we can call ourselves "Pretty boys"" Laugh just after he finishes obviously not really wanting to call the band pretty boys.
