"Maybe...they tend to be pretty distracted by stuff like boyfriends...but I suppose it couldn't hurt. It's a good idea, Midori. Maybe that will help her feel a little less caught in between."
"Maybe we should introduce Zilla-chan to Tanaka-senpai... or your sister and her friends?"
Lang spends a minute or so outside Zilla's door going over in his mind if Zilla understood or not, if they can be friends or not.
Finally he turns around and knocks again on her door.
I wouldn't be right if I left her out
zilla, It's me, Lang again can I come back in? I have something to ask you

Zilla had been waking her room once Lang left trying to understand everything he wanted to keep his friendship but what she saw. Was it really what she thought? Zilla didn't know anymore what to think.
*knocking*
She looks back toward the door hearing Lang's voice coming from the other side. She started to call to him so let him in but she couldn't push the words out. Instead she placed her hand on her chest and breathed for a second. "Come in." She finally let out.

The door slowly opens and as expected lang is standing there.
Zilla, Thank you for the well wishes and all, but I had intended to share this time with all of my friends. Would allow me to count you among those friends?
Lang pauses a bit.
I guess what I am trying to say is, I am inviting you come along. but I can understand if you say no, but at least, you will know you are welcome.
Lang stands there awaiting Zilla's response still not entering the room.
Mel sits there in the infirmary bed scribbling away on her pad of paper. Every so often she glances toward Igni, then back to the paper.
finally after a few minutes. There! Done.
Igni, what do you think? she turns the paper around to show him and there is a sketch, (and a not very good one) of Igni. it looks rather cartoon-ish and out of proportion. It is rather comical to say the least.
"Heh. Are you sure you don't read minds too? If you want, I could blink the three of us down to the cafeteria and we could get food while Maya and Tryko'Sam work here. We could bring you back food and if the time is set right, we can be back here at the same time you finish. We won't have to touch, Asha, Rena can connect us."
He untangles his arms from the staff and plants it on the ground held in his left paw.
There is a T shaped outline behind him where frost formed on the places he leaned against the wall.
"Not a mind reader, just perceptive." Tryko'Sam says while patting Tybalt on the back assuringly. "Plus it bothers me to see people mistreated, justice thing, or something."
Looking at Asha he says, "You physically fell through the floor, we'll want to check into that. Did this ever happen-- er, yah, food. I'll be here, or arrows, right?"
He walks back towards a chair and gets comfortable.
The door slowly opens and as expected lang is standing there.

Lang pauses a bit.
I guess what I am trying to say is, I am inviting you come along. but I can understand if you say no, but at least, you will know you are welcome.
Lang stands there awaiting Zilla's response still not entering the room.
Zilla places her hand on her forehead and rubs. "Things are confusing right now. I want to stay friends, but I think I just need to think things over. So I'll stay here with Ignance besides I don't want to leave her here alone." She tells him as she plays with her hair. "Just come back safe, ok."
Lang nods in understanding.
Ok, I will. And even if you are unsure, I still consider you a friend. Lang's expression is one of pleading for understanding; and worry, about her and Ignace while he is away.
Lang bows and turns to leave. You stay safe too. he whispers not really intending for Zilla to hear, but she probably did.
"M'kay. We'll see you in a couple."
He leaves 'a couple' vague intentionally so as to cover the couple minutes for the three and the couple hours for the two.
"Rena, if you could be touching both of us please and I'll get us there."
"Now you may feel a little sick. Not everyone is as used to this as me. Close your eyes. Take a breath. Count to three."
He closes his eyes and they all three appear in the cafeteria.
He pauses a beat to make sure they're both OK.
"Maybe...they tend to be pretty distracted by stuff like boyfriends...but I suppose it couldn't hurt. It's a good idea, Midori. Maybe that will help her feel a little less caught in between."
Midori stands a little taller, more proudly and there's a shy smile on her face at the praise of her idea from Ignace. "Can you help her while I'm away? Lang-kun wants to leave soon and I came to get the yukata so I would have formal clothing for his ceremony."
"M'kay. We'll see you in a couple."
He leaves 'a couple' vague intentionally so as to cover the couple minutes for the three and the couple hours for the two.

Rena nods, but before she connects them for Tybalt to teleport them, she 'slithers' her way through the air and gives Tryko'Sam a slight nuzzle as he's sitting in his comfortable chair. "Stay alive." she says soberly, though given that she knows about Tryko'Sam's remarkable regenerative properties, it may be an attempt at levity. Or it might be completely serious, especially given her follow-up. "The Boneyard isn't something to toy with - they deal in death."
After a moment she pulls back away and allows each of the teleporting folks to place a hand on her - she offers Tybalt her tail and places her large head near to Asha.
The teleportation doesn't seem to bother Rena at all - probably used to it given Vare's specialty. She does look around the cafeteria though, and seems to press herself slightly towards the floor. She's taking up an /awful/ lot of space, but fortunately the school is able to compensate - the room enlarges slightly, leaving a bigger space between all the tables. "I... don't really need to eat. I just like the taste, but maybe I should... not eat for a bit. I heard something about the school's supplies being a part of the attack yesterday." she explains to Tybalt somewhat offhanded, trying to make conversation.
Jaiye doesn't notice him at first and startles when he speaks to them.
"Oh. Uh, yeah....it's been a ...busy weekend," she said with a grimace.
Ehos brushses her hand in what he hopes in a comforting manner after she jumps. Jaiye was always alert... at least when awake. The jump reminded Ehos of how Jaiye awakens - primed for a fight. She really must be wound up tight...
'Yeah, today has been less disastrous than yesterday... but it's still been a... busy day, even by Avalon standards. How about you Ace?' Ehos displays, not wanting to fall completely out of the conversation as happens sometimes - the datapad only went so far, after all.
"I.... Decline to comment."
igni says, looking back to his work.
"Well, what do we do then, bylu? The group has left us."
Rena gets an affectionate pat on the neck and a smirk.
Before the three teleport away, he waves.
"I.... Decline to comment."
igni says, looking back to his work.
Mel just looks at him a little diappointed.
Yeah, your right, It does suck. I guess I am not quite the artist I thought I am, Oh well.The crumbles it up and tossws it toward a waste basket, missing at she always does. and adding to the pile of other discarded song lyrics she didn't like piled up around the empty waste bin.
After leaving Zilla's room. Lang pauses a moment. she still does want to be friends, I am pretty sure of that. I just wish I could sahre tomorrow with her and Ignace.
Lang's next stop is his room to gather his stuff. grabbing the bag of scrolls he got from the temple on the firebird sun. and some extra clothes.
Asha looked around the cafeteria, wide-eyed at the amount of food available.
"Really? All I know is that there were a lot of booms. I was hiding outside under some shrubbery during the attack...not the best time to be arriving at Avalon I guess. But it's not like I had a lot of options. Well...maybe if you just got a small amount to enjoy the flavor?"
After a long uncomfortable silence Nanami laughed. "You really are going to force me to pick which class I want to teach, aren't you? Alright, I suppose that I'll take PE then. It can't be that different from training shinobi and I'm not too terribly bad at that."
Nala teleported to the Headmaster's office where Ryuzo was already waiting for her. She gave him a shaky smile and knocked on the door.

Vare - who is also waiting outside the door, nods to the pair, giving them a good-natured - if somewhat distracted - smile. "I believe the Headmaster is with someone at the moment."
After a moment, Vare suddenly attempts to brush away something unseen, waving a hand at his feet as if he was attempting to shoo the unseen away. Ryuzo detects no Deception in this action.

"That's probably for the best. Maybe I can just have of your food for taste? That would be better than me getting my own dish, since I don't have hands right now. I think you go and stand over there near uh... her name was Jaiye, right? I was a little distracted." Rena says softly, using her tail to point out the furry-eared girl. "I wonder if they caught the person or people who attacked the school?" she wonders aloud.
"I think it should be OK. When I made cookies earlier the ovens multiplied them, so as far as I know, I don't think anything is in short supply here. I wish I knew exactly what happened here. I was out helping someone yesterday. I wish I could've been here to help...."
He silent for a moment before shaking it off and popping his usual smile back on.
"OK. Food. Rena, I think you're a little big to fit through ... the... line..."
he looks over to the line for food and sees Jaiye Ehos Ace and Ginni. He needed to talk to ¾ but really didn't want to do so with the other 25% there...
"But I can bring you something if you want. Do you uh see anything you want to try?"
He picks back up quickly, not giving more than a beat to show he was distracted.
"Intrinsic magic. I wouldn't say inborn, though."
"OK. So now we have five, yes? Would you like another class or a study hall that you can keep up other class work and personal projects with? Maybe you'd like to try basic Alchemy? A fairly rigorous course, but most of the students find the results useful."
"I guess i could try alchemy. Maybe it could help my healing prowess."
"I believe that's a big part of it, yes. So. That should be six. Read them off for me, if you would."
"Basic arcana, alchemy, PE, care of magical animals, heavy blades, and history."
she rolls her eyes at the last one.
"It really isn't so bad. We really do have quite the interesting story behind us. Now your classes are chosen."
He hands her a book labeled "Student Guide" in exchange for the clipboard and form.
"This will have a map of the school. As I said, the school changes itself and the map changes as well. We give you these maps, but they're a bit redundant as most people use the arrows which I also already explained. Now that we have you registered, the school will have a room for you. You may or may not have a roommate depending on what the school wants. Just use the arrows to find your room. Classes start tomorrow. Everything else you may need is in your book. Uniforms are appreciated, but not mandatory. Anything else you may need?"
He gives the form a quick glance to make sure no blanks were skipped.
"Well, at the rate i move, the arrows will probably be left behind, so this map may come in handy."
all the mandatory things are filled in.
Lang eventually makes his way to the garage where the owls are at meeting up with Chen, Lea and Sun.
Hey Sun, I hope you have been showing Chen and Lea around the school.
Sure have, I think they want to come here also. I think Chen noticed a few girls he would like to meet.
Chen simply nudges Sun to shut up.
Well Sun, I am afraid there has been a bit of a change. Ignace will not be joining us He remarks with a sad face.
Sun looks to Lang What did you do now? he replies both sternly yet with a touch of sympathy.
"Fair enough." He says heartily.
"Is there anything else you may need to know?"
Sun looks to Lang What did you do now? he replies both sternly yet with a touch of sympathy.
Lang looks down a bit embarrassed at his actions. I, kinda, sort of, told Ignace about...you know
Sun just looked at him with a mixed look. he knew it was too soon, but then again Lang never was one for being patient.
Then Ignace got real angry at me, I don't think she wants to be friends anymore, or anything else. I'm kinda bummed, I don't know how i should feel, I just know it hurts.
Sara approaches at the end of his sentence.
She has a backpack with a bedroll at the bottom and she has on the heavy coat and pants from the Avalon uniform winter collection.
She akwardly tries to manage a full sized old timey twig broom with a pink ribbon tied to it under one arm. It keeps swapping places between sweeping the ground behind her and jamming her to a stop in front.
"What hurts? Do you need me to fix it? Have I fixed you yet today?"
"for setting foot on this plane, and for your deeds against the inhabitants of this world, I shall bring justice unto you! Your only choices are to return to your plane, Never Returning to this one, or be banished by the Champion of justice."
Yrrin is fairly glowing from this speech
Yrrin charges the nearest abomination, silver burning sword held high,
"You have sealed your fate."
"Rir! Come out come out wherever you are!" Sorun shouts down the hallway as he slips through the halls on a sheet of ice, playing hide and seek with a summoned friend

Lang looks to Sara not realizing she was there already.
It's nothing Sara, I just was telling Sun about what happened today.Sun looks from behind Lang and waves.
Sara this is Chen and Lea. they will be on the other owls. Lang indicates a teenage boy and girl, both dressed very much like lang does.
they both bow to Sara.
"Hello." She begins with her usual smile, but is caught off guard when they bow.
She quickly tries to bow back to them which sends the broom stick knocking into the back of Lang's knees...
"Nothing i can think of..."
she pauses for a moment.
"Oh, uh, is food supplied here?"
He nods. "Ah. There it is. I was beginning to wonder about your priorities." He says with a laugh, obviously liking food quite a bit himself judging by his build. "Yes. Food is supplied free of charge in the cafeteria. Three meals are served a day, but they remain open and stocked with other things 24/7. If you like to cook yourself, they allow students to sign up for times, though I've heard from a few who like to keep a kitchenette in their room."
The sudden jab to the legs catches Lang completely off guard and with a rether ungraceful fall Lang is lying on his back on the ground.
this ellicits a bit of a chuckle from the others.
Who would have though the mighty Avatar is taken down by a girl with a broom. Lea comments.
Lang tries to regain any sense of composure, and with a sudden updraft of wind, lifts Lang back to his feet.
Sara, what is with the broom? You are not going to be expected to clean. And if you do we have plenty of brooms at the temple
That's for sure. Chen adds with an abvious tone that he speaks with experience.
"Oh, no, Pyry. I didn't mean land on it. We could do a flyby close enough for you to see it, and keep the temperature inside the shuttle tolerable for you. That's all I meant.""Hello Pyry, I am Archimedes Iosus." He says while analyzing the boy.
When Pyry notices Archimedes watching him, he seems to shrink away, not looking back at him.
He nods
"I take it you wanted to see the firebird sun? A trip in a shuttle can fix that. Perhaps you and I and Tyrrin can go before it's too late..."He looks at Ghalen and shakes his head quickly.
"No! It's too warm and.. a-and it's not that important, r-really..."
"I.. I'd want to fly alone and I d-don't know how." He says quietly.
He looks sympatheticly at Pyry.
"I see. Well, even if I taught you how to fly a shuttle, the sun would be gone by then. I'm sorry."
Nala teleported to the Headmaster's office where Ryuzo was already waiting for her. She gave him a shaky smile and knocked on the door.
Smiles back, reassuringly.
"If Pyry wants to go alone, but doesn't know how... Why don't you put him in a shuttle that is completely auto-piloted, or possibly controlled remotely from here?" Archimedes suggests to Ghalen, wanting to help the inquisitor.
Ponders
"Possible. Risky. If anything were to go wrong with either the auto pilot or the remote piloting system, there'd be no one on board to bring the shuttle down properly. I don't think Jiminy would risk one of his shuttles in this fashion."
"I think it should be OK. When I made cookies earlier the ovens multiplied them, so as far as I know, I don't think anything is in short supply here. I wish I knew exactly what happened here. I was out helping someone yesterday. I wish I could've been here to help...."
He silent for a moment before shaking it off and popping his usual smile back on.
"OK. Food. Rena, I think you're a little big to fit through ... the... line..."
he looks over to the line for food and sees Jaiye Ehos Ace and Ginni. He needed to talk to ¾ but really didn't want to do so with the other 25% there...
"But I can bring you something if you want. Do you uh see anything you want to try?"
He picks back up quickly, not giving more than a beat to show he was distracted.
Asha was almost literally drooling as she spotted the section with firebird food.
"So much food in one place! It's like a feast! I can really eat as much as I like? Or do they ration the food?"
Dom dashes to the side of his companions. "I think our chance has come! We should take this chance to in act whatever plan." Dom looks back to the amassing group of enraged.
"I don't think there's a limit or anything, so go crazy I guess. Just don't make yourself sick, hun."
He shrugs.
"Rena, see anything you want me to get you?"
