As the rain starts Amber and Opel in the canteen see it out the window, the get up and giggling walk outside into it, once out side they look up into the sky not minding at the rain pelts down on them, then they see the party/group on the schools roof, giggling again longstride [teleport] to it, appearing in the mist of who ever is there, Amber and Opel seem seem some what "trip-pee" as if off there heads on a drug some imp slipped into their Coffee not long before, in fact they are still holding the drink.
Ace nods in agreement to Keme "I know I seem to be a prime suspect, but I swear I didn't do this. To prove my innocence, I will gladly subject myself to whatever is needed to show I did not do this."
Rena's shirt is almost immediately soaked through, and she does not appear to be wearing anything underneath... David, Asha, Amber, and Opel can see through her top... to her perfectly shaped breasts. They are quite glorious. She doesn't seem to notice the show she's putting on though, and when Asha begins to shiver, Rena moves over and spreads a wing over Asha... though the firebird will have to bend down slightly, as Rena isn't tall enough to provide a decent umbrella if Asha stands up straight.
"Here, I don't mind the cold as much and I can protect you from the rain.. I'm staying here with you. Vare will think of something. He always does."
Dave gives her cleavage a long, appreciating look,very nice, very nice... should I say something? hmm decisions decisions... "uh well if we need to stay in sight of the roof, perhaps we could find some kind of onning, or maybe we could go to the entrance to the roof and wait by the door? just uh throwing out ideas" he tries not to keep his eyes too glued to the two of their chests "that way I can dry the two of you off and you not be wet again before I'm done"
Lang just looks at her.
OK...what? is there something on my face? Lang tries to wipe his face like there is something hanging from his nose or in his hair.
Lang now tries to keep from laughing as well. but she can tell by his smile he is glad she is happy.
I don't know what I did or said, but she seems happy, maybe I'm not that messed up after all.
Midori giggles even harder at Lang's confusion, though after a couple more seconds she seems to have exhausted the store of giggling, and it fades away. Now she does hug Lang for true. "No Lang-kun, there's nothing on your face. It just... it's all kinda silly ne? These feelings I mean." Without much more than that - and definitely without an explanation of that, Midori rests her head on Lang's shoulder. "We'll be alright, ne?" she says, still cheerful.
If Rena notices David's obvious ogling of her body, she doesn't immediately react, intent on ensuring Asha was comfortable and warm. She does notice the Taddol though, who had so recently joined them on the roof. "Hello." Rena offers the pair uncertainly. She wondered what manner of creature she was. Of course, Rena had seen Dreamscape projections like that... but the Dream wasn't really reliable.
Amber and Opel ought to notice that Rena's white shirt is soak such that she's pretty much showing off everything top-side. "I think if we go around the corner there, the aviary has a sheltered space. We need to be respectful of Bradley's pigeons though." she offers the suggestion, still seemingly unaware of David's attentions.
"Yeah that should work" when the taddol show up Dave wonders at the correct form of address and decided it would probably be more rude not to pluralize "uh hello ladies, we were just going to seek shelter from this storm over there and I can dry you off and warm you up over there if you want?"
When the rain hits him it evaporates off with a slight sizzle

Amber waves with her hand and waves,
"wow Hi"
Then looks off for a moment then back
"have you got any more of this coffee is really good stuff"
She giggles
Opel smiles at Rena looks at her chest then looks up and smiles.
::"You have and amazing aura, sorry I am Opel my sister asking for more of this very nice hallucinogenic coffee is Amber, yerr nice to meet you"::
She is not hiding the fact she is attracted by you.
ahhh...I was the one that invited her
Mel moves to put her arms around Arthur and Raelle and she will try to include Igni in a group hug. you guys are great, but we really need to get going there are many more firebirds to help.
Igni steps away from the hug.
"Yes, let's go."
"No, thank you, Phaezeriel. I will explain what I found in my scrying once you link the others. And I will continue to try to find more information, though I understand the urgency of the matter. I know that Vai will not want to wait for more information, especially once she hears what I've already found."
With a bow, Phaezeriel turns and leave the lair, taking to the air as fast as he can fly once he is outside of it.
In the nature of Avalon, he finds that the school has responded to his need and placed Ryleh's lair temporarily very close to the entrance to the school. He barely has time to get up to speed before he comes around a corner and has to flare his wings to land next to the assembling group.
His thoughts come clearly to everyone standing near the entrance, ::Sorry if I am late. So, I will be adding you all to a collective. For those of you who have not experienced it, it is a type of mind link that will allow us to speak telepathically regardless of the distance between us. It also allows me to more effectively manage healing. Other than these two uses, it is very limited. I also cannot bring you into it if you are unwilling. Once the collective is formed, Lady Ryleh will inform us about what she has been able to discover. Do any of you have any questions or concerns about this?::

It allows you to regulate healing? If I unleash a pulse of positive energy you can direct it to its fullest use?" Yrrin inquires,
"Just one concern Phaeze." Vai says after giving her quasit friend a quick hug which included a whispered 'thank you' from the dragon girl. "Adon," Vai points out the slight-but-well-muscled young man to Phaeze, "Probably shouldn't be healed through psionics or magic. His physiology doesn't really allow for it. I brought a few extra nanite treatments for him, but they don't really work quickly enough to be useful in combat."
"As always though, I trust you." she says after the fact, opening her mind to him to receive the Collective.
"Yeah that should work" when the taddol show up Dave wonders at the correct form of address and decided it would probably be more rude not to pluralize "uh hello ladies, we were just going to seek shelter from this storm over there and I can dry you off and warm you up over there if you want?"

Rena watches the Taddol with open curiosity now, but nods to David. "I was actually going to just take my wet clothing off, but I suppose some people don't like that. It's too heavy when it's wet, even if I don't mind the cold too much. Let's go get some shelter." Rena will continue to shield Asha from the elements as best as she can with her wing, obviously not perturbed at the continued looks her see-through clothing was garnering her. The group makes their way under the shelter of Bradley's Aviary. A few pigeons coo or squawk at the intrusion, but they settle down after they see Rena. Rena does her best to warm up Asha, by pressing her body against the Firebird's, though after a moment Rena will realize that she might just be stealing more body heat, and pulls back slightly, allowing David to work his magic.
::I wasn't aware I had any magical auras on me.:: comes the slightly confused, but mostly curious reply to the telepathy. ::But it's nice to meet you as well, my name is Rena.::
Once they are in the shelter, Rena's thoughts are more openly curious. ::So... how does sex work when you share your body?:: After all, there was so much Rena didn't understand... it would be strange to share your body with someone.
It allows you to regulate healing? If I unleash a pulse of positive energy you can direct it to its fullest use?" Yrrin inquires,
Phaezeriel turns his head to look at Yrrin and he tenses very slightly, though his thoughts are still calm and businesslike, ::Yes. I can direct the healing to anyone joined in the collective, applying exactly as much as is needed to each person before redirecting it to others who may not even be in range of your pulse. The source of the healing energy is immaterial. If it were simply a matter of healing, I could remain here and be nearly as effective as if I can be by coming with you.::
"Just one concern Phaeze." Vai says after giving her quasit friend a quick hug which included a whispered 'thank you' from the dragon girl. "Adon," Vai points out the slight-but-well-muscled young man to Phaeze, "Probably shouldn't be healed through psionics or magic. His physiology doesn't really allow for it. I brought a few extra nanite treatments for him, but they don't really work quickly enough to be useful in combat."
"As always though, I trust you." she says after the fact, opening her mind to him to receive the Collective.
Phaezeriel returns Vai's hug, taking comfort in a close friend for just a moment before releasing her and turning to Adon, ::Adon, a pleasure to meet you. Is Vai correct? Should magical and psionic healing be kept away from you?::

Yrrin's eyes glow red, blue, white and black.... then nods satisfied
Rena watches the Taddol with open curiosity now, but nods to David. "I was actually going to just take my wet clothing off, but I suppose some people don't like that.

Amber looks at the
"O pigeons, I love pigeons"
Then Opel looks at her sister who looks back and says
"yes lets"
::So... how does sex work when you share your body?:: After all, there was so much Rena didn't understand... it would be strange to share your body with someone.PS: if the answer to this question would violate board rules, feel free to PM it to me. I realize Fey aren't likely to censor themselves. xD
Opel says
::"best me and my sister show you Rena, if you don't mind, mind to mind kind of way, here its like this"::
If you let them Opel and Amber play into you Renas mind floods with Amber and Opel's memories of a very large number of beings of many kinds they have had coutis with.
I'll PM The details and what this may do to Rena.
Amber and Opel have a big grins on their faces as they look at Rena.
"Magic anything should be kept away from me."
he doesn't seem concerned, or even... Anything, about the trip.
Yrrin's eyes glow red, blue, white and black.... then nods satisfied
Phaezeriel returns Yrrin's nod with a small smile.
"Magic anything should be kept away from me."
::Very well, I will also keep you from benefiting from magical healing if I can. How would you like to handle the collective, Adon? Would you like to be included or not? It is not, strictly speaking, a use of psionic power to form it. If there are no more questions?::
If no one else speaks up, Phaezeriel will reach out with his mind and gently gather everyone's mind into the collective. One by one a growing awareness of the other minds connected to it appears in each person's mind along with an instinctive understanding of the benefits and limitations of the collective. He will wait to include Adon until the boy can respond to his question.
"You can try if you so desire."
As Amber and Opel flood her senses, Rena's knees immediately buckle and she sinks down, her head thrown back and her eyes rolling back as well. Her mouth opens, but no sound comes out so overwhelmed is she. Her wings flare out stiffly, as if to balance the girl, all her muscles contracting at once. Little shudders and shivers go through her body, and her hands reach out to grip something hard - anything nearby, though Asha and David are likely targets, unless they move away.
Several moments pass and Rena finally exhales, panting and bending forward, her hands on the floor supporting her, her body still shuddering and quivering slightly. "Oh gods yes." she whispers to no one in particular, her brain isn't really coherent right now.
"It isn't other guys. Not even other girls, really. I only want to be with him, but.... he probably doesn't like me at all now, let alone like I like him... I ruined everything. He won't like me as a friend or more or even a roommate now. He said he didn't hate me, but I know he does..."
He tucks his head into his chest.
Amber
"Upps over did it, best stop I think sister mine"
Opel looks away, big smile on her face.
stopping what she was doing.
Amber
"We hope that helps Rena"
Opel chuckles at her sister words, then says.
"You know that coffee is wearing off, shame, so sister what shall we do now?"
Amber looks at David
"Humm you know how much a I love angel Cake"
"It isn't other guys. Not even other girls, really. I only want to be with him, but.... he probably doesn't like me at all now, let alone like I like him... I ruined everything. He won't like me as a friend or more or even a roommate now. He said he didn't hate me, but I know he does..."
He tucks his head into his chest.
Blowing past the group is a blue robed man... he seems resolute
Phaezeriel nods to Adon and, almost tentatively, gathers Adon's mind into the collective, ready to release him the moment anything might go wrong. When nothing does, he nods with a rather satisfied expression on his face. His thoughts come to everyone now included in the collective, ::It is done. Lady Ryleh, everyone is with us now.::
"I'll keep my mind to myself, if it's all the same. I'll be more than fine with the bond, and I can still keep in touch in my own way."
"oh uh yeah I have no problem with the clothes takeing off thing, but let me dry them off too so you can put them back on when we're done, I should get to asha first, if that's ok with you?" He says turning to her while he dries off asha he tries to use a dry heat without actually touching her with the fire, remembering what he was told about that while with Raelle, though even without touching her with the fire it is still quite hot while he is doing so he looks over at Rena and the newcomer and notices a telapathic conversation and looks curious but does not intrude,
At least not until she buckles and he goes over to her "woah are you ok?" He takes a breath in through his nose as she clutches him "ah very ok..." He looks to the cause of the colapse and she approaches him "well thanks, "
"I'll keep my mind to myself, if it's all the same. I'll be more than fine with the bond, and I can still keep in touch in my own way."
"Hunh? Oh. Sure. Ya." She had been making faces with the otter.
"It isn't other guys. Not even other girls, really. I only want to be with him, but.... he probably doesn't like me at all now, let alone like I like him... I ruined everything. He won't like me as a friend or more or even a roommate now. He said he didn't hate me, but I know he does..."
He tucks his head into his chest.
Dom gives a slight sigh. "I really don't think he hates you. maybe a little freaked out that you have been living with him and you have have feelings for him. He may also have those feelings for you he just doesn't know how to deal with them being his first time liking a guys." He scratches his head unsure of what to say. "I'm just making guesses. I'm not really good at this stuff. So bare with me."
A single knock upon the door causes it to tremble alarmingly, the stone on either side splinters slightly...
"What do you know, me too."
He flops back into the new chair.
"Usually when I do it, it's because these two are arguing. Guess they're shutting up for a while. Love it when that happens." He says with a grin.
"I suppose that must be nice for you."
she says while she removes a cloth from her satchel and wipes down what of her shell she can reach.
"I guess you don't really know how it feels. You always get the person you want. I hope I didn't ruin the band too. I know how important it is to you..."
"I guess you don't really know how it feels. You always get the person you want. I hope I didn't ruin the band too. I know how important it is to you..."
"I can't say your wrong I've been lucky so far. I am sure that if I chased one of the girls, who have found the love of their life. I would get rejected and if the band falls apart because of this, then the band was never going to be a good band." Dom takes a seat beside Tybs. "I really don't know what to say. I could just tell you to hop back on the horse and you will find someone, but I'm just going to go with there's someone better out there for you and you will find them.
"I'll keep my mind to myself, if it's all the same. I'll be more than fine with the bond, and I can still keep in touch in my own way."
Phaezeriel shrugs in response, ::The choice is, of course, yours. The collective shares no part of your mind that you do not wish to share, nor can it be used to delve into your mind.::
A single knock upon the door causes it to tremble alarmingly, the stone on either side splinters slightly...

" He looks to the cause of the colapse and she approaches him "well thanks, "
The 7 foot tall two head twins come over to Dave
Amber to Dave"You know they say Diamonds are a girls best Friend, nice to meet you, I'm Amber"
She holds out a hand to help Rena up.
Amber to Rena
"Feeling more relaxed now I bet"
Helping her up.
"We should do this more often"
Opel to Dave
"And am her sister Opel, I have always found Diamonds to be cold rocks, but seem to be quite a hot one"
Looking at the heat coming off Dave
"Love the wings, very glittery"
You get the idea they can see your true form.
"You should see how shinny you look in the dreaming"
"But I don't want to find someone else..."
The hedgehog on his hat squeaks.
"I guess you're right, Jer. should at least actually let him say no first..."
lang waits patently for Ephebe to invite Lang in.
When she does Lang stands in the doorway he bows to Midori and then to Ephebe.
Looking to Midori Midori, I am so sorry for the trouble I caused, I only wish I never said what i said. I ruined your tea party, and I ruined my friendship with Ignace, and maybe you also. Lang has a hard time looking Midori in the eyes. If I never am friends with Ignace again, at least I know you will help her and encourage her.
Looking to Ephebe Master Blackscales, you told me about this and I didn't listen. I am also sorry for that. I need help with what to do now.
I will understand if nobody goes to the ceremony now, I don't even know if I deserve it.
"Everyone screws up sometimes, Lang. Sometimes more spectacularly than others. It doesn't have to ruin your day. I'll leave it up to your friends to decide what they want to do. But I would be shocked if you didn't have at least a few going with you to the ceremony."
"Ignace won't be going. I'm rescinding her permission to go. She's too stressed out now and that's just an accident waiting to happen. It was risky when she was relatively calm. It would be unconscionable in her current emotional state. This is good and bad. Good because she'll have a chance to calm down. Bad because it leaves her socially isolated again and that's a bad pattern for her to fall back to. So. I have to make alternate arrangements for her. Thankfully there is a remarkable new opportunity for her to do something she's never had the chance to before and spend some time around other firebirds her own age."
"What you need to do now is give her space. Let her learn to be independent and make friends without you. You need to give her time. It's going to take time to rebuild her trust. Forcing your feelings on her was a violation of her trust in you and I think she's going to have a hard time moving past that. I do think that if you can be patient with her you'll be able to be friends again. You can't hope for anything beyond that now. She's just not there yet. And there's no telling who she'll have those kinds of feelings for when she is. For Ignace it's complicated because of her unique abilities."
lang listens to what Ephebe has to say.
I will miss being with her. Lang pulls out the jacket Ignace made for him.
This jacket kind of symbolizes my friendship with her. I feel funny keeping it right now but I am afraid if I give it back it will send the wrong message. I want to be friends with her again, but I need to do it right this time.
lang does look a little sad i just hope that in the future when she looks back she will remember me and be glad she once called me friend, I know I will
"Would you like to go see? We can bring what remains of our lunches if you cannot wait." Tyrrin offers, glad to have someone who shared such wonder with the stars. "Although, as I said, it might need some repairs, and generally functions better after dusk in any event."
"Yes! Even if it doesn't work right now it sounds like a really cool thing!" Pyry pauses for a moment, indecision clear, then he smiles slightly. "I know about cool too, so.. it must be."
"I know about cool too, so.. it must be."
>> Splendid. If you could, while I did not expect the casting to work that easily, please describe the details, if you remember them, of what initially brought you here. As for schedule...
Anahita will set up some times and such, plus tell her where her room typically 'is', to feel free meeting there, or residing there.
>> I am about to assist someone with an personal matter and defense of their family, which may result in my not returning, if ever. As such, be advised that I shall prior to this, share the details of your plight to the authorities here in this school. If nothing else, you will not, I trust, be ignored further. <<
She waits for her response.
::It was some sort of experiment. A new spell cast by a collective of mages.. It backfire, and then I woke up in this place. I didn't have to sleep after that, or eat and drink. I miss dreaming...::
::Thank you, Anahita. Please, go help your friend. I will try to remember more about what happened to me, in case I remember something important.::
"Yes.. That is a likely scenario, Mr. Quilblood."
The Headmaster begins going into detail of how the school works, class schedules, rules, and the protective nature of the wards. He pauses when Shess cracks the frame of the door, then frowns as he gent urges to open the door.
"Sheessuroussen, kindly refrain from damaging the school."
"But I don't want to find someone else..."
The hedgehog on his hat squeaks.
** spoiler omitted **
"I guess you're right, Jer. should at least actually let him say no first..."
"I guess I'm not so good at fixing a broken heart. Look I know you'll find someone. It maybe Dave it may not be but you will find someone." Dom tells him trying his best to cheer him up.
It does not take long for the group to find Professor Agave, who is making notes on her plants, and ask her about possibly burying the animals in the garden. She quickly agrees and offers her condolences to Kitty, pointing out a lovely spot of flower vines near the school walls.
The gargoyle had been running through the halls when he burst through a door and to the roof.
That's where the arrows went. Why wasn't it the headmaster's office?
"At. She's said yer fine. They've got it covered."
"But dat creepa was peepin on da kids?"
"Naw. He's was just playin a joke da Honcho. He's da new secretary."
"Oh. Well in dat case. Looka see what I gots."
He shows off the large bottle of vodka.
"Ya! He's gots us some liquid party!"
"Well, sorta. For the first year and a half, I wasn't able to do much. I covertly healed some wounds, summoned animals and elementals to carry out minor tasks, purified some water after it was poisoned by the snakes, stuff like that. The, I started to have odd dreams, where different spirits of nature would talk to me, instruct me. I would awake, and be able to cast a new spell or shapechange into a different form."
He pauses, chatting with a rabbit that randomly hopped up to him, and wanted his attention. "This talking to animals and trees, even the elements themselves is new. I could occasionally do that before, if I cast a spell beforehand, but its constant now, since I bound the Heart of Agartha to my own."
"Sounds to me like you're in the right place...there's a lot of people like you here, Sil," she said, smiling and shaking her head as Ehos was obviously enjoying the rain. She wasn't a big fan of getting soaked, but she wasn't exactly running for cover either.
" He looks to the cause of the colapse and she approaches him "well thanks, "The 7 foot tall two head twins come over to Dave
Amber to Dave

You get the idea they can see your true form.
"You should see how shinny you look in the dreaming"
Dave looks up at the girls, it wasn't often that a girl would be taller than him, let alone by almost a half a foot
"well it seems you have eyes that see" he says regally "and I must say flattery will get you almost everywhere, I'm David De'Foul, or Dave if you want what's this about the dreaming?"
"Ya. I guess..."
He lifts the brim of the hat up and pulls a tissue, wipes his face and nose off and puts it back in the hat.
"I guess we could get food. I really didn't eat much when I made breakfast for us...."
He blinks the piano to his room, which is actually a couple doors down from Dom's.
There is a large blot of frost on the floor and wall where he was sitting earlier.
He puts the hat on.
He still can't smile, but isn't crying anymore.
"Do you want to walk or I can blink us. Tami can come if you want or she's ready."
