"Woah you ok? You look like a mess!"
Lang looks up at Grim, I feel even worse
Dave also seems to ignore the muscular druid thinking him to be a brash idiot, and communicates with those who he feel are more worth his time he turns to the female lycan and says "I should get going too, have a nice day, well as nice a day as possible"
he projects to his elf friend ::very well, I'll not pry, though I do have something I'd like to talk to you about, maybe 5ish? see you later::
keeping the link open as he takes to the air "I'll be right behind you, just need to grab the diviner"
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Lang motions for Grim to sit, he seems reluctant to leave the now dwindling rain.
it all started after I told Ignace how I felt about her. you were there, you saw how she reacted. I knew to stay would only make matters worse. So I left, hoping Zilla would help calm things down. I cought up with Midori in Master Blackscales office. and after talking to Blackscales Midori and I came out here to see Simba.
we were talking for a while and I was telling her abou my home. and I was feeling so much better. Midori and I were really enjoying our time together. so toward the end Midori and I hugged, to show our thanks for helping each other in some difficult times. thats when Zilla came in. she thought...
this is where Lang is a bit embarrassed
she accused us of kissing and how I betrayed Ignace and Midori betrayed hew and she accused Midori of seducing me when I was vulnerable, which was not true.
now Midori is upset, and Zilla hates me as much as ignace does, and zilla probably hates Midori which will really upset Hew becuase he will think what Zilla says is true so Hew will now hate me.
in the end, everyone will hate me, I might as well just go home, and not come back.
Lang's story does not explain his messy robes though.
Asha squirmed out of Rena's grasp as Rena started to fly away. She tried to land gracefully, but mostly she just crashed. She changed back into her human form and jumped up as soon as she stopped rolling.
"Would you all just cut it out!?!! This isn't about who is rude or who is right! We're trying to help our friend!" she stomped her foot in frustration, her anger helping to fend off the cold a little.
"We need the diviner to help find Tryko'Sam, but we need the enchantment professor as soon as we do! And Rena, if there's a chance you might have been affected as well as Tryko'Sam, you need to be looked at too! And it would really help if you wouldn't run away mid-conversation so I didn't have to yell!!!"
"I don't care about you or your attitude," she shouted at Silinrul. "I've dealt with worse. Men like you are a dime a dozen, thinking that you can walk all over others and it's okay. You. Are. Nothing. And just stay the hell out of this!!"
She stood there panting and exhausted from her tantrum and shivering from the rain.
"We were supposed to work together," she whimpered, tears starting to roll down her face.
Silinrul weathers the storm of both girls stoically, as an oak tree in the midst of a tempest. Once Asha's outburst is over, a large branch extends itself over her, keeping more rain off of her.
The lycan speaks softly "I am sorry, little one. I am not here by choice, nor am I really involved in this of my own volition. I have failed my sister once before, and I vowed to never do so again. Come in by my fire, and dry off. While I do not know who you are, you are welcome to my shelter, for I have offended you without intent."
"Because I don't get a lot of practice talking to people other than myself, let alone people that I could possibly be involved with. This is kind of uncharted territory for me."
"Hmm. Alright then."
settro doesn't say anthing as Dom, renkai and tybs speak.
He crosses a third tally mark.
"OK. Uh. What's your favorite color?"
"I don't have too much of a preference. I much prefer matching of colors with each other then any one color."
"OK. What's your favorite matching pair, then?"
riviarti says nothing, and scratches another tally into the ground as you ask another question.
"You broke sequence."
she sounds dead serious. Far too serious, oddly paired with the smile on her face.
"I think that's the joke face. Still learning that one. Heh."
He adds a nervous 'heh' at the end.
"Your turn twice then."
she chuckles a bit.
"Indeed. Anyway, what do you strive for?"
"Hmm. Tough one. Either shutting these two up for good or even better, getting them bodies of their own would be a major goal. Next one?"
"Is the story of no story still a story?"
"Uh.... Half the time?..."
He confusedly scratches a sixth tally.
"Why did you pick a Leonial to model Tural after?"
"Combat effectiveness. He's intended to be my bodyguard, but whatever i did when i made him made him sentient. If you don't make it where you intend to go, have you still reached your destination?"
Dave lands next to the two of them "ok you guys ready to go?"
Royston nods
"Thank all for being so welcoming. How ever I think I shall carry on my walk around the school and see what I can of my new home before it gets dark, I bid you a good day"
He gets up and heads for the door out into the school
Carl walks down the lading ramp into the blading heat. He calls over to the ground crew.
"Right we're read for loading start sending em over"
::"No Zix I am fully self sustaining, however for politeness when asked I will eat and drink, but thank you for asking and I think you for the information about the time I have left for my walk"::
He says with out stoping on his way to the door. And this time he only talks to you.
"Yeah sure. Can you answer that question?"
"what question?"
"If you don't make it where you intend to go, have you still reached your destination?"
::"I did notice the lack of capacity to eat, I use psionic energy conversion for true sustenance and to keep myself at optimum performance, but I find eating and drinking helps me blend in when it's needed"::
"Ah, well then, philosophy, I'd say that you are always at your destination yet at the same time never there, because you are there and you got there from somewhere else, and yet in the future you will be somewhere else again, you may not be at the intended destination but you have still arrived in that point in your life"
"Don't we have someone to help? Are you really that easily distracted?"
"yes and sorta, respectively, I figure not answering would be rude and given that we are going to you for help it would be best if we not do that, so then, would you rather fly or teleport?"
"Teleport, unless lim-mor is uncomfortable with that."
as midori runs into the building, she may notice a large yellow line running across the floor. Though, odds are, in her current state, it is largely unimportant.
Asha squirmed out of Rena's grasp as Rena started to fly away. She tried to land gracefully, but mostly she just crashed. She changed back into her human form and jumped up as soon as she stopped rolling.
"Would you all just cut it out!?!! This isn't about who is rude or who is right! We're trying to help our friend!" she stomped her foot in frustration, her anger helping to fend off the cold a little.

She stood there panting and exhausted from her tantrum and shivering from the rain.
"We were supposed to work together," she whimpered, tears starting to roll down her face.
As soon as it became apparent that Asha wasn't wanting to move away immediately, Rena swooped back down next to her, bearing the anger of her friend, though not very well. Vare had rarely, if ever, gotten angry with Rena and so she wasn't really equipped to deal with it properly. Her instinct was fight or flight right then, and Rena couldn't do either - it was her friend after all.
"We don't have time to dry off around your fire." Rena says quietly to Silinrul, all the anger in the see-through-top-girl having bled away during Asha's tantrum. Rena enfolds her in a hug though, as soon as the tears begin to flow. "We are working together Asha. David found us a diviner. Let's ask nicely if these people can go and find the Enchantment Professor for us, and meet us on the roof." Crying, at least, Rena could deal with. Anger from her friend just stressed her, and she didn't know how to react to it properly.
"I'm sorry. I reacted badly." Rena turns her head to Jaiye after a few more moments of soothing Asha with her hands, if Asha permits such. "We need all the help we can get. Can you find the Enchantment Professor and meet us on the rooftop please?"
as midori runs into the building, she may notice a large yellow line running across the floor. Though, odds are, in her current state, it is largely unimportant.
Indeed, as Midori crosses the threshold into the school, soaked as she is and with heavy clothing, she does not pay much attention to the yellow line on the floor, running over it as she makes for her room.
"what happened?"Lang motions for Grim to sit, he seems reluctant to leave the now dwindling rain.
it all started after I told Ignace how I felt about her. you were there, you saw how she reacted. I knew to stay would only make matters worse. So I left, hoping Zilla would help calm things down. I cought up with Midori in Master Blackscales office. and after talking to Blackscales Midori and I came out here to see Simba.
we were talking for a while and I was telling her abou my home. and I was feeling so much better. Midori and I were really enjoying our time together. so toward the end Midori and I hugged, to show our thanks for helping each other in some difficult times. thats when Zilla came in. she thought...
this is where Lang is a bit embarrassed
she accused us of kissing and how I betrayed Ignace and Midori betrayed hew and she accused Midori of seducing me when I was vulnerable, which was not true.
now Midori is upset, and Zilla hates me as much as ignace does, and zilla probably hates Midori which will really upset Hew becuase he will think what Zilla says is true so Hew will now hate me.
in the end, everyone will hate me, I might as well just go home, and not come back.
Lang's story does not explain his messy robes though.
"wow, that really sucks... I don't think they hate you, maybe kinda angry at you, and i know I don't hate you, and that I'd miss you if you left"
the yellow line does nothing.
Shaking her head, though it was lost as no one is looking in her direction, Anahita looks about and considers the situation silently.
She doesn't make any move to follow after Yrrin or Belyu, though tracks their movement away until lost to sight, glancing back towards the buildings that Vai and others had gone into.
Seeing as no one else was looking her way, she slipped out of sight, moving into the shadows with ease and experience, dropping out of sight.
Via the Collective she shares,
::Do you know of anyone that would seek to continue what I thought you may have implied ended with the death of your captor? Who might be responsible for this? This certainly does not appear to be specifically, as you feared, targeting your kin, Vai.::

Grim, You like Midori almost as much as hew does, wouldn't you be angry at me for all of this? anyway, I hope that you believe me.
Lang looks at Grim. there is a lot of stuff Midori and I talk about, we are very close friends. but that is all we are, friends. and many things she told me, I made a promise to never tell anybody. right now, some of those secrets could clear some of this up. but it will make even more problems. problems we are trying to figure out how to deal with. I can't give details but I ask you to trust me, no matter what you see or hear, Midori and I are only friends, nothing more.
Lang hopes Grim can understand what he is saying and not push the issue further.
maybe you can help me, can you go find Hew and Zilla, I will go find Midori. we will meet in the SIM room where Hew was making Zilla. and together we can all work this out. even if they don't come at least try to bring Hew. it may be up to us boys to help the girls.
"of course I'm not angry at you for-wait hew likes Midori too? Daaaang it... er I mean I don't know what you are talking about... uh sure I can help,"
The two fey land again and look on
"Can we do any thing to help?"
Leasoa asks her husband
"Not really, best let big ens get on with their stuff"
She nods at his words
"of course I'm not angry at you for-wait hew likes Midori too? Daaaang it... er I mean I don't know what you are talking about... uh sure I can help,"
Great, Zilla headed that way, I think, not sure where she was heading, please be nice to her she just doesn't understand what is going on yet.
Lang apparently knows all about Grim liking Midori as well as Hew liking her but he does not let that interfere, he just wants everyone to be friends again.
and grim, thanks for understanding. he seems to be in a bit better spirits as the rain stops.
he takes a deep breath smelling the fresh rain cleansed air.
"uh sure" he regrows his wings and takes off says "good luck, see ya in a bit"
and he takes after where zillia went.
There is a knock on Midori's door.
Hello? anyone home? I thought I heard someone in there the voice of a boy yells through the door. a voice Midori does not recognize but he sounds young, maybe 6 or 7 years old.
Via the Collective she shares,
::Do you know of anyone that would seek to continue what I thought you may have implied ended with the death of your captor? Who might be responsible for this? This certainly does not appear to be specifically, as you feared, targeting your kin, Vai.::
Responding as she continues in vain to search for survivors, Vai simply says. ::Not that I know of. If Aegythrax had kin then I never knew of them... but he was a Great Wyrm. I'm sure he had offspring... maybe? Maybe they're trying for revenge? Or to continue his work?::
Belyu, Yrrin
Belyu and Yrrin strike out ahead of the rest of the group who are making a concerted effort to ensure no survivors get left behind. A vanguard of sorts, the pair strides purposefully for the hilltop Vai had pointed out, following the easy trail of the giant container through the woods.
After a few minutes though... Belyu and Yrrin get the distinct impression that they are being watched from somewhere closeby in the lightly forested area...
Sadie, Adon, Vai, Phaezeriel, Anahita
As the group stays behind, it becomes more and more apparent that no one was spared whatever fate befell the people of the town. Adon discovers another set of traps in the still-standing granary, though the rest of the town seems to be completely barren.
The trap appears to once again be a pair of runes along a high-traffic area in the granary, clearly designed to be set off by the first person who arrives here.
There is a knock on Midori's door.
Hello? anyone home? I thought I heard someone in there the voice of a boy yells through the door. a voice Midori does not recognize but he sounds young, maybe 6 or 7 years old.
Answering the door to Midori's room is the golden skinned girl herself, with red rims around her golden eyes. Her clothing is still soaked, and she was definitely crying a few moments ago. "Can I help you?" she asks hoarsely.

standing there is a young boy dressed in what might be common farmer attire from maybe a rice farm. he bows to Midori.
I am sorry to disturb you, my name is Po, I heard crying and was wondering if there is anything I can do to help?
Midori recognise the style of his clothing as similar to her own culture but very old.
Asha sniffled. "I'm sorry I yelled like that," she said in a small voice. "I'm just so worried. I....I don't think I can fly right now. My feathers got all wet. Just let me take a few seconds in the fire and I'll be okay, Rena," she said, resting her head on the other girl's shoulder. She pulled away and stepped towards the fire.
"Thank you. I'm sorry I said that about you. It's just that you were treating my friend badly and that made me very angry...you could have just asked," she said to Silinrul, looking a bit embarrassed.
And with that she shifted back to bird form and hopped straight into the fire, closing her eyes with pleasure as the pain of cold and discomfort of wet disappeared, although the smell of drying feathers was far from pleasant. Once her wings were able to support her again she was ready to head towards the roof with Rena.
