It'd been more than five minutes, for certain, since Tryko'Sam simply vanished, falling backwards into the maw of whatever he stepped back into intentionally.
There was no sign of his returning immediately either.
Miles in every direction, rain pours down, the iron clouds dropping their burden on houses and.farms, plants, animals, forests and cities alike

"Pff. I've got nothing to lose."
"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."This causes Tyrrin to grin, barely able to suppress a chuckle at the pun. A joke! That had to be a good sign! Of course, the grin is all of Tyrrin's composure that breaks, but she does glance at Ghalen. "Would you care to join us?" she asks curiously, remembering that Ghalen had said that he had plans to help Thel's sitaution today. "And I agree Pyry, you definitely know about cool." she returns saucily.
Ghalen chuckles at Pyry's joke.
"I would like to, but I have business elsewhere today. I should be about it." He says in his Imperial accent.He takes Tyrrin's hand, and kisses it. In Elven he says
"Goodbye, My Lady. Until this evening." Switching back to Common
"Have fun at the telescope. There are many wonders to behold beyond our atmosphere." He says to Pyry with a smile.
snip"Pff. I've got nothing to lose."
Yrrin looks at adon...
Through the mental link everyone feels concern and resolve...
"There is always something to lose...." the noble paladin intoned....
Then readys himself to activate the device
adon just rolls his eyes.
Asha stroked Rena's cheek gently. It was pretty obvious from the body language between the two girls that they were more than just friends.
"I'm not sure if I want it all. Or at least not all at once. I do want to explore more...I'm just...I want to explore with people I really like and trust. I...have trust issues. I'd never met anyone I could trust before yesterday. Last night I was so excited about escaping that I was more willing to take risks. But after what happened to Tryko'Sam....Dave seems kind, but what if he changes too? And what about Tryko'Sam? He still needs help and...I'm so confused."
Rena smiles at the praise from Amber and David, and returns Asha's affectionate gestures, running a few fingers back and forth along the back of Asha's hand. "We'll figure things out together... honestly I don't know how people do anything. I keep thinking about sex. I mean, I just look at David and I want to do dirty things to him, and him to me. It's hard to focus. But we /should/ focus... I wish we had magic so we could help Tryko'Sam. I'm just a bit lost. Vare usually does the puzzling of things out for me. Maybe... maybe we should go talk to Ephebe? See what Tryko'Sam learned?"
"And hopefully she won't be as distracting as David or Bradley..." she says quietly.
"I...I can summon some burrowing animals to dig the holes," she said, choking up a bit.
"Hey now. You shouldn't do that to yourself." Repp says kindly, putting a small hand on her elbow - all he could reach easily. "Michael and I can work while you and Ginni talk, if you like? We'll still be nearby." Repp says earnestly, volunteering Michael for manual labour.
"We should all go at the same time, all you need to do is press this button here, and we'll all be Casted at once. That way we aren't split up." Vai says seriously, drawing her blade and stowing the spare Starcasters she had packed for her birth parents. "Last chance for anyone who wants to back out..." Vai offers, gripping her blade hilt tightly.
Phaezeriel grips his chainstaff a little more tightly and prepares to activate the device, and his wings mantle slightly in anticipation.
Turning to move, Anahita vanishes and reappears at the side of the waiting Vare.
"Vare, I --" She pauses a moment to peer around, then back to him, smiling after a moment of thought. "Hello. May I bother you for a few moments? There is a student in trouble that may benefit from your awareness of Arcane and Planar matters. I am potentially leaving this planet to go elsewhere soon, in a combat or scouting function, so I wished to impart this information prior to doing so." Her voice doesn't suggest anything about the 'function', just matter of fact in the tone.
She stands as before, not a hugely tall young woman, thick, wavy black hair, down past shoulders, black eyes and all the Arabian princess sort of appearance, in the normal world, smiling lightly at the Professor, both hands behind her back, wrapped leather straps for sandals.
Vare was striding along through the halls of the school when Anahita appears next to him. Her awareness is such that she picks that he appears to be reaching out and touching something in front of him - perhaps something guiding him? An invisible form is there, Anahita can hear it with her awareness.
He slows at her appearance, though does not stop, purpose driving his steps. He does allow himself a smile at her presence in spite of himself though. "Of course... can we walk as we talk? The student whom Rena brought to my attention earlier is currently a danger to himself and to the school, and I need assistance and counsel. Tell me of this other student who is in trouble though, and I will do what I can." he inquires, once again speeding up his pace in towards his destination of the good Professor Sunwake.
Dave smiles at the ego stroking from Rena he speaks up when she finishes he says "If all else fails I could cast a powerful spell, a limited form of the Wish spell, to help find him, see how he is doing, but i would prefer to hold that in reserve"
Amber cherps in
Amber to the group
"O we could help, I have my cards and Opel knows things,"
She calls a chest into being opens it and takes out a harrow deck before dismissing it
Opel adds
"if you know the place he went missing from I can try and read it, or even bend reality a bit, with the dreaming"
"I know it's just words, but my mind is my own, the only reason you would ever have to fear me is if you hurt someone I cared about, and I don't think that's going to be an issue" Dave says trying to be comforting by telling the truth as he sees it
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to insult you. It's just someone I really liked who was very laid back and non-violent suddenly turned into a violent jerk just like my cousin Embre and all because someone has put some kind of spell or something on him. I'm feeling a little unsettled. You haven't been anything but nice since we met you so it's not like you've given me any reason to be nervous."
"Oh clothes!!!!" Zilla squees. "I'm always up for clothes." Zilla tells them ready to follow as soon as they want to go."We were going to go and make a dress for Cariban so it can match mine.""Right. Of course. Sorry. You already told me that. I'm a little keyed up and it's hard to concentrate. I'm really trying hard not to go all inferno again," she said sheepishly. "But I'll feel better once we get to the sewing. At least, I usually do."
Ignace seems to be in a better mood as they head towards the home ec room in the elementary wing, asking Zilla questions about what kind of clothes she'd like and asking Sara and Cariban about what kind of dress they needed to make for Cariban.
"don't worry about I understand that emotions aren't logical, take your time, I don't want to pressure you into anything, are you warm enough?"

amber and opal "that's great, yeah, divination is kinda my weak spot"

"And hopefully she won't be as distracting as David or Bradley..." she says quietly.
"That might be a good idea...maybe this is about something from his past...maybe learning his past triggered something...maybe she can help."
"I'm not that into Bradley, but I agree about Dave being distracting," she admitted.
"I...I can summon some burrowing animals to dig the holes," she said, choking up a bit."Hey now. You shouldn't do that to yourself." Repp says kindly, putting a small hand on her elbow - all he could reach easily. "Michael and I can work while you and Ginni talk, if you like? We'll still be nearby."

"I suppose," she said doubtfully. "If...if Michael is alright with that."

This gets Asha's attention.
"Do you think that will work?" she asked hopefully. "We know where he went missing from...right over there," she said, pointing to the spot on the roof where Tryko'Sam was standing before he went through the portal.
"don't worry about I understand that emotions aren't logical, take your time, I don't want to pressure you into anything, are you warm enough?"

"Yes, thanks to you," she said, smiling again now that there was some hope that they could actually do something.
Aananda was working on the long and complicated process of rebuilding her destroyed lab.
Lang glances out the window when sound of rain is heard.
not good flying weather right now,
Looking to ephebe, are you still going? I will understand if not, ignace may need you here. And thank you for helping me, i think it best to listen to you this time.
Lang bows to her, i need to check on Simba, do you want to help me Midori?
Lang seems to be enjoying Midori's compny right now. She is keeping lang in good spirits.
Lang smile at Midori, he noticed the change in the way she addressed him but says nothing, seems pretty obvious he has no idea on the meaning.
what about your tea party? Are you still going?
Ignace seems to be in a better mood as they head towards the home ec room in the elementary wing, asking Zilla questions about what kind of clothes she'd like and asking Sara and Cariban about what kind of dress they needed to make for Cariban."Oh clothes!!!!"

"But I'll feel better once we get to the sewing. At least, I usually do."
They exit into the elementary wing.
"I thought we were in the area for the bigger kids? Oh well. I think Caribans dress should..."She goes into the idea of what it should look like as they walk.
"I suppose," she said doubtfully. "If...if Michael is alright with that.""I...I can summon some burrowing animals to dig the holes," she said, choking up a bit."Hey now. You shouldn't do that to yourself." Repp says kindly, putting a small hand on her elbow - all he could reach easily. "Michael and I can work while you and Ginni talk, if you like? We'll still be nearby." Repp says earnestly, volunteering Michael for manual labour.
"It won't even be difficult for me, love. Go and talk with Gini, okay? I can take care of the graves."He gives her a quick hug, smiling softly. "I just got to move the dirt around."
Amber
"so what can you tell use about this Sam person"
This causes Tyrrin to grin, barely able to suppress a chuckle at the pun. A joke! That had to be a good sign! Of course, the grin is all of Tyrrin's composure that breaks, but she does glance at Ghalen. "Would you care to join us?" she asks curiously, remembering that Ghalen had said that he had plans to help Thel's sitaution today. "And I agree Pyry, you definitely know about cool." she returns saucily.
His smile widens a bit. The joke had been funny!
"I hope so, Ghalen. Um, good luck with whatever you gotta do."

Zilla shrugs at Sara's Question. "I don't know I just follow the arrows." After she listened to Sara's description for her dress. Zilla seemed to stay quiet about any dresses she wanted.
"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."
"I'm going to leave it up to you. Talk or blink your choice.." Dom replied to his question. When Tybs mentioned Tami Dom looked back at his door with a coy smile. "No she was going to meet up with her friends and then caught us later so might as well let her have her plans."
Walks to the headmaster's office, knocks, and waits patiently.

As Keme does his thing, Ace meticulously scans the room, combs the floor, checks every sack, barrel, cage, etc, looking for any kind of clue, however small. He actually gets down on his hands and knees and slowly crawls all over the floor, looking, searching, seeking for some kind of answer.
When he's done with that, he then manifests the same psionic power he used to track Dark Vai
He'll then open his senses to try and discern if there's any lingering magickal auras
Walks to the headmaster's office, knocks, and waits patiently.
"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."
"Headmaster... I must speak to you." His voice is quiet.
Shooting a glance at the psiweilder... he dismisses it as no threat
Repp looks a little oddly towards Michael, but nods. "We'll need tools." he says matter-of-factly to the half-elf.
This gets Asha's attention.
"Do you think that will work?" she asked hopefully. "We know where he went missing from...right over there," she said, pointing to the spot on the roof where Tryko'Sam was standing before he went through the portal.
Rena nodded, smiling at David's offer of a powerful spell, but then even moreso at the twin's suggestion of being able to find Tryko'Sam. Vare's divination for the day had been spent, and they were in dire need of this. "You can find him? Okay, let me describe him for you. He's muscular and athletic, about this tall" she holds her hand up about four inches above the top of her head, which would put Tryko'Sam at about 6'2", "He has slightly brown skin, with short black wavy hair, green eyes like mine and he has no painting or anything like it on his body. He's about..." Rena goes on to describe parts of Tryko'Sam which are not strictly necessary, and probably fairly embarassing to hear spoken aloud to those who are sensitive to such things. Rena knows that details can make the difference in divinations.
"And you can do so with breaking down my office door."
Lang bows to her, i need to check on Simba, do you want to help me Midori?
Lang seems to be enjoying Midori's compny right now. She is keeping lang in good spirits.
Lang smile at Midori, he noticed the change in the way she addressed him but says nothing, seems pretty obvious he has no idea on the meaning.
what about your tea party? Are you still going?
Midori really was trying her best to be positive for Lang, and her conversation with Blackscales-sensei certainly had settled her nerves and fears about who she liked. It was still taking some effort to be as outwardly joyful as she was appearing, even if her mood is good.
"I think we're going to have the tea party another time." she replies evenly, following along with him and not letting him know that she was disappointed about that. She had very much wanted to show Ignace-chan her work on the yukata. "Is Simba-san outside?" Midori asks, eyeing the rain with a bit of worry.
"And you can do so with breaking down my office door."
It is quite.... difficult to restrain myself knowing you allow such a creature to teach here"
His smile widens a bit. The joke had been funny!
"I hope so, Ghalen. Um, good luck with whatever you gotta do."
"And you as well, my Knight." she replies to Ghalen as he leaves, speaking in Elven in reply to him, though she does not return his affection physically.
Tyrrin picks up what was left of her lunch - she was still hungry after all, a promising sign for her no doubt. "Well then, shall we go and see?" with a glance to the rain clouds outside, Tyrrin frowns slightly. "The weather does not favour us, but perhaps the storm will pass soon. If not, I could magic it away for us. Assuming the telescope still works of course." She says wryly, before leading the way to the observatory, walking just a little faster than Pyry's pace, to push him to walking faster as well.
Quillblood the scribe has fished paper from somewhere, and is transcribing the entire conversation from the moment they were interrupted with a knock on the door. In fact, several scrolls are levitating to the side, also with quills which appear to be writing on their own accord.
He says nothing, listening attentively. His eyes occasionally dart from his current page to one of the others which are self-writing, then his focus returns.
"I allow several 'creatures' to work here, you shall have to be more specific."
"I'll just take us."
He sets a hand on Dom's shoulder and takes them there, pulling it away as quickly as possible so it doesn't hurt either of them when they get there.
He gets a lot of comfort type foods, a plate of fried fish, ice cream, jello.
"I allow several 'creatures' to work here, you shall have to be more specific."
"The one called Ms. Jones"
"Is there a problem with her employment here? She is an outstanding teacher."
Anahita, by way of agreeing to Vare's request, turns to walk along with him while explaining her past experience recently Adina and the Ethereal or demi-plane situation.
He might note that when she attended his Conjuration class, she didn't speak much at all, but now she's talking about Arcane spells and the like with expertise. Quiet student, unless she starts talking, perhaps. She does not, however, go into much detail on the fabric of the universe and their planar relationships, just the magical aspects of the situation, being very clear that she is speculating and seeking to learn more first. A schedule of sorts, and ability to speak with the girl again, described.
"... so that is most of what I know, Adina is seeking to recall more of her situation prior to where she is now, and will advise when we meet again. I regret I cannot bring you along once I jaunt to her. Perhaps with study, I may."
She takes a breath and proceeds, "This other matter, requires me to attend-- or assist, in a situation I know little about, though I doubt there will be time to gather information before we head out. Not my preferred method of approach. None the less, in the event I do not return, please see to assisting this girl, if you wish? If you will not, that is understandable. It is as always, your choice, though I bring the matter to your attention as a member of the Staff, not a friend in her capacity. I feel I have talked too much-- I should go." She continues to walking along with Vare, lost in her thoughts, dismissing her Telepathic Bond spell as well, considering the hallway ahead of her as they move.
All the while, if Vare looks her way, he sees the young girl, shifting and changing from one element, to another, erupting with power as her skin is consumed and regrown, out of energies and matter, perpetually, doing all the normal things she does in the real world, walking and talking. Her clothing is not present, but her simple chain of gold and silver metal is on her hand, and wrapped around her arm, the only consistent and unchanging object in the Dreamscape, along with her basic female humanoid form.
"Is there a problem with her employment here? She is an outstanding teacher."
Tyrrin picks up what was left of her lunch - she was still hungry after all, a promising sign for her no doubt. "Well then, shall we go and see?" with a glance to the rain clouds outside, Tyrrin frowns slightly. "The weather does not favour us, but perhaps the storm will pass soon. If not, I could magic it away for us. Assuming the telescope still works of course." She says wryly, before leading the way to the observatory, walking just a little faster than Pyry's pace, to push him to walking faster as well.
His excitement keeps him from noticing the speed was faster than it had to be. He carried his cold food as they walked.
"If it doesn't work can I help you find out what's wrong? I mean, I don't know anything about it, so I probably won't be much help, but I could try." He looked outside and smiled. Storms always cooled things down and rain never bothered him, even when he was flying.
"Ya. That's uh. That's probably not what he meant...," he says looking away and blushing bright red on his pale elven features.
