Tybalt has been holding the meals in a Mage Hand to keep them from being frozen in his grip.
He pads into the room, leaving frosty paw prints on the floor.
"Oh. Hi. Uh. Sure."
He floats the boxes down to the butlers waiting hands and/or tray.
"I'm definitely good on food. I just ate, like, a lot."
He pats his big and rounded out belly.
"Do you know where Tryko'Sam and Maya went?"
He takes up residence in a corner of the room opposite the door, leaning against a wall.
Rena had smiled at Asha's reaction to her suggestion of being a man next time, but beyond a toothy smile, Rena had remained thoughtfully quiet, eventually picking her plate down to the point where it was becoming difficult to get anything else of the plate with her teeth.
"Asha... if Embre ever tries to hurt you again, he'll have to face my fangs first. I don't like to hurt or kill sentient people, but I will if I have to." Rena replies with a kind of deadly calm to her voice which suggested that behind the composed demeanor, Rena was not at all pleased with the tales of how Asha had been treated.
"Let's go see how Tryko'Sam is doing. Can you help me with my plate?" she says after a moment.
""He probably won't like me as a man." Rena says suddenly as the trio begin to leave the cafeteria, thinking of what Tryko'Sam had said about girls 'having it easy' or something, and not wanting to have other guys there. Either way, Tybalt and Asha might notice as they leave that Rena is staying quite a bit closer to Asha now, protective of her friend.
Asha hugged her friend as best she could. "I'm happy to hear you say that. I've never had anyone protect me before. I don't think he can hurt me as long as I'm here though. So you shouldn't have to worry about it."
"And I think it's more that he just wouldn't like you the same way. I think. I don't understand. It doesn't seem like it should matter to me."
When they got to the SIM room she got very quiet. She seemed to be intimidated by the butler. Once he had left them to wait, she paced back and forth on her hands a bit.
"Tryko'Sam seems like an 'I'm real manly' sort of guy. I can tell he's really only into girls. Mostly because he said so. They tend to see other guys more as competition than potential mates. A lot of guys are like that. More than a few of them just do it because they feel insecure about how they feel personally, but that's not really what I'm picking up from him."
He is scratching his hedgehog's head as it sits on his shoulder.
Mel smiles at Kezzin's description of the sunrise..
It actually sounds romantic, would you mind if I joined you sometime? I'll bring a violin as well.
Kezzin nods with a smile, "Of course. I would love the company. Can you fly? I usually perch rather high up the wall; if you cannot fly perhaps I can lift you up there." He gives Melody an appraising glance.
she pauses a moment. wait I remember a piece my mom made me memorize. just wiat a sec. Mel rushes off and soon is rolling out a piano from back stage.
she quickly rushas back and grabs the the bench.
Ok I lead in on piano and you join in with the violin. it is a really pretty piece you probably know it, but if not I'll bet it will come to you.
she looks to Cameron you can join as well, maybe help Kezzin pick up the melody. or Kezzin will help you, either way, you both are wonderful musicians
mel sita at the piano and checks a few keys for their sound and begins this piece on the piano
hoping the other two will join in with violin.
Kezzin listens to the first few bars of the music, then lifts his violin and softly at first to better hear the piano line, he begins to play. It is clear that he does not know the song, but he seems to be trying to do as he did before and blend his music with that which Melody is playing.
He seems to struggle a bit with finding the right notes for the song, and the result is a slightly discordant effect. Once Cameron joins in, Kezzin modifies his music to better match the Piano and the other Violin.
The butler takes the floating packages, or bundles without much fanfare and says politely to Tybalt, "To the best if my understanding, sir, they should be returning momentarily, per Lady Rhys' sense of timing. If anyone here desires something while they wait, please feel free to ring for me." He gives a bell atop a well polished wood table an indication with a nod before walking out to put the meals away.
Outside the lovely doors and windows leading out to the sprawling green landscape, a pair of riders can be seen riding up on horses. It doesn't take long before the twin figures of Maya and Tryko'Sam are seen atop their respective mounts.
They aren't riding with much urgency, but it is clear they will arrive shortly and will be greeted by another servant, this one dressed less butler and more groundskeeper. Both riders are also dressed up nicely in appropriate era style clothing, for riding horses.
Once they dismount, unless joined by the others, the horse tending servant leads the horses away and out of sight while the two approach the living room and proceed to step in, joining the others once more.
Maya smiles warmly as Tryko'Sam open the doors for her and upon walking into the room she greets everyone with a polite, "Hello again. Please forgive our delay in returning, but, I do believe our trip bore fruit. At least, some success was had, I feel."
That said, she smiles warmly at Tryko'Sam and steps over to the side bar, going to fix a drink or too. "Would someone like a refreshment?"
Tryko'Sam lifts his left hand after a nod to Maya for a drink, and says calmly, "Hey gang. What's the good word?" He, other than his new clothing, doesn't appear any different than before. Calm and mellow, as folks have seen him prior. A faint light smile on his face at seeing the others again.
"I'm good. Not much really. We brought not imaginary food. What's with the getup? I haven't seen clothes like that sense the big white planet with four moons."

in response to Kezzin's question about flying she answers as she was setting up the piano.
well, sort of, I fly a shuttle for Jiminy, well at least until it nearly blew up, or so I'm told that's what happened, i don't rememeber because I think I died, but I don't remember that eiather so I guess since I am here I didn't die and someone is just playing a joke. But then again Ginni wanted to talk to me about something since she "rescued" me, so maybe I did die. but I don't feel dead, so lets play music.
"I sit among great musical talent." Cameron says after a moment. "I almost feel the need to show off!"
"I'm good. Not much really. We brought not imaginary food. What's with the getup? I haven't seen clothes like that sense the big white planet with four moons."
"Just a touch of history from our world, considered to be more of a refined and sophisticated era, which I had hoped might put guest at ease, though, perhaps it isn't quite working as desired. If the setting isn't appreciated, we could opt for something less colorful."
Maya walks back to the ircle of people with the requested drinks, if any.
Slipping lady like into a seat, she then says, "I believe the suggestion of interacting with the keepers of memory has paid off, and Tryko'Sam has as best as I can provide, restored faculties. I will have to make a point in thanking Wizard Vare when next we meet."
Tryko'Sam sniffs and sips his drink adding, "Thankfully, if nothing else, I'm not reviewing the past third person now. Gotta say, that was wigging me out some. Anything new?" He stays standing and sips his drink. "Kinda eager to get back to things and explore. The, uh, weekend is nearly over, right?"
Maya smiles faintly and looks at the two other females asking, "Are you two doing well?"
Rena let the question of whether or not Tryko'Sam would like to go to bed with another man to side as they settled in to the SIM Room.
She had been admiring the rolling landscape view from the window when the horses had come into view, and then had greeted Tryko'Sam eagerly (with a nuzzle) when he had come in, glad to see that he was alright after his journey. "Did you actually talk with them? The psychopomps?" Rena asked curiously, yet it may be noted by the more observent of the group that the feathered-snake-monster has taken to not straying too far away from Asha - she at least keeps her tail or similar close to the Firebird. "I think the weekend will be over soon, but there hasn't been much new in the twenty or thirty minutes since we saw you last. How long did it take?"
::SADIE!:: Vai had cried out as her friend recieeved the exact same treatment which Vai had just been treated to moments before, and for the umpteenth time, Vai was glad that she had Phaezeriel as a friend as Sadie's wounds began to close.
Not wasting any more breath or thought, Vai jumps into action, preferring Sadie's suggestion over Vickory's for a myraid of reasons, not least of which would be the desire to kill the things that had hurt both her and her friend.
The blue bulk of the dragon girl vanishes as she leaps into the air, once again unleashing her fury on the already-wounded archer.
(Rest of attacks include flanking and vs. Archer)
Bite #1:
Bite #2:
Claw #1:
Claw #2:
Wing #2:
Tail Slap:
There's a triumphant roar as Vai tears her enemy's flesh apart, teeth and claws doing their work. Finally, Vai vanishes and reappears next to the other archer, making it difficult for him to fire at anyone else.
Tybalt shrugs.
"Kinda sorta reminds me of home. Our stuff was a lot more open, though, but I suppose that's because we lived on the coast. Do you know how to make a virgin white russian?"
"the sun will be down in less than an hour." is all he adds, having been about to ask and say most of what Rena just did.
::"Its not an overly common ability, but nor is it super unique. However, it is usually an ability found only among the elite of the Succubi. Perhaps that is evidence that Kara is Ginni's mother, perhaps not. Either way, its not that important at the moment."::
Ace nods at Ehos' comment regarding the schools attacker. "That reminds me, I was going to speak to Melody about seeing if she can't help us see what transpired last night in the attack on Kitty. Perhaps they are connected, or even one in the same. If we solve her murder, we might gain a lead on evil Vai"
Tybalt shrugs.

"the sun will be down in less than an hour." is all he adds, having been about to ask and say most of what Rena just did.
There's an expression on Maya's face, but she nods and brings over a glass of white liquid for Tybalt before sitting.
Rena let the question of whether or not Tryko'Sam would like to go to bed with another man to side as they settled in to the SIM Room.

"I think the weekend will be over soon, but there hasn't been much new in the twenty or thirty minutes since we saw you last. How long did it take?"
Returning the greeting with physical contact, Tryko'Sam says, "I'm pretty sure we did, though Maya would know best. Felt like a good long time. Three days maybe? I lose track of time without a watch to keep track. Usually we had those on our personal computers back on our world. Glad to see that's not the case here. Tech can really ruin things sometimes. Did you guys eat well? Anything tasty for the special today?"
He sips his drink, standing relaxed looking. "I guess if only half an hour passed, not much to talk about, heh."
This results in a grin on his part.
"What? Ya never see a monkey b'fore? I seen him around. Jus a friend uh one uh the kids. You'll see him a lot. Go say hi. We got time."
He gently scoots the kid out from behind his leg.
Morire is slowly pushed out... his oversized boots and robe dragging on the ground.
Sun glares at the escort. baboon, not mon...ahh whatever. he then looks toward the child.
Its quite alright, I am named Sun. I sometimes help care for the younger children here at the school. You look to about the same age as Sara. I will be sure to introduce you when she returns from her field trip. Sun offers his hand in friendship to the new boy.
"I am Morire, its nice to meet you" his voice quavers uncomfortably as he rests the glove that has a hand somewhere inside of it in the monkey's paw...
after a few seconds of the handshake the black rainbow worm moves right up to Sun's face...
Sun backs a way from the strange worm. Is that dangerous?
It is apparent that Sun seems to be a little afraid of it.
More-ie? if you can please ask your worm to back away, I would be happy to show you around the school. Sun seems to be struggling with the proper pronunciation of his name. but he is not trying to mock him. (he is only a baboon after all)
Soaring high in the sky heading east, Lang and company have left the school grounds far behind. Lang is a bit quiet so far, like he has a lot on his mind, or something is bothering him.
Lea seems happy with her passengers. she seems to want to know all about Grim and Hew. bombarding them with questions, like where did they come from, are there benders there, or just the traditional wizards and stuff.
she seems to give Hew a bit more eye contact that Grim.
vriskra has been eating outside for a while. She looks around, and sees sun, and a new person. Curious, she diecides to investigate.
"Um... Hello."
vriskra bears her sharp teeth. Her common is shaken, and she pauses every few words.
"Happy to See you sun. Who is this?"
"I sit among great musical talent." Cameron says after a moment. "I almost feel the need to show off!"
than do it. I would love to hear you play what you are best at. Mel replies encouraging him to "show off"
"Thank you." He smiles and accepts the drink, a long inhaling sniff and he takes a sip.
"Not a whole lot. They had good baked potatoes. What's a Computer?"
He let's go of the drink and it stays floating where he let it go.
"Maya, did I ask if you wanted any clothes done? You have a good figure for a mid length dress."
He does that photographer thing with the finger frame, looking through it at her with one eye shut.

grim tells her that he is an oracle and a weapon master and that he does a lot of spirit magic.
"I still gotts ta get im signed up fer the school befrores I cin let im go. Can the welcomin committee wait fer tweny minutes?"
He crosses his arms.
"But... the ele... Ele... Young people headmaster just flew off with some kids for a field trip..."
"Thas er? Ugh."
He puts his hand over his eyes.
"Now I gotta search out who's she left ta do it. C'mon er this is gonna be all night. Yous can follow and talk when e's done."
He motions towards the building and starts walking again.
"Thank you." He smiles and accepts the drink, a long inhaling sniff and he takes a sip.

"Maya, did I ask if you wanted any clothes done? You have a good figure for a mid length dress."
He does that photographer thing with the finger frame, looking through it at her with one eye shut.
Maya's expression was one of bemusement and surprise, at the mention of a 'virgin White Russian'.
Tryko'Sam replies after grabbing a seat himself, getting comfortable, "Essentially, a device that did a lot of mental tasks for behalf, the portable ones we had were quite sophisticated. Hyper inventor creations. Not my bag, really. Just used mine for a time piece and phone."
He doesn't peer over at the dress comment, but Maya does reply, "I do appreciate the offer Tybalt, but, I will take a rain check for now. I've only just arrived and will need to consult the local fashion before changing outfits. I doubt very highly my current attire is an issue, is it?"
A very faint, playful pout is displayed at the question.
"Thas er? Ugh."
He puts his hand over his eyes.
"Now I gotta search out who's she left ta do it. C'mon er this is gonna be all night. Yous can follow and talk when e's done."
He motions towards the building and starts walking again.
Ryuzo and Nala are also associated with the elementary school, and Krays might fill in in a pinch...other than Ryo, I dunno who an actual back-up for Ephebe would be...
Tybalt really didn't want Tryko'Sam to think he was any less intelligent than he probably did already, so he lets the question of 'what's a phone' go unasked.
"Well it's all well and good for riding imaginary horses, but if you step out of here you'll either be back to what you had before or just what the gods gave you and I'm given to understand that that's frowned upon in societies without fur." He replies back with similar humor.
He holds his paw out to the side and with a snap, water pours out of it, solidifying into something similar to a candle stand that the glass floats down onto.
He produces a sack from his pocket and then reaches his arm down into it, deeper than it could logically go.
"Where is it. I just had the darn thing."
He sticks his head and other arm into the bag and after some muted mumbling he produces a large sketch pad and a pen.
"I can do fashion. I just got a job with a place in town day before yesterday, actually. From what I've seen, it's more or less anything goes, but just simple stuff, jeans, t-shirts, skirts and stuff are the usual, but suits and dresses and stuff being optional for taste and how nice you care to look as your baseline."
He clicks the pen several times looking at something on it before he sets it to the pad, looking up at Maya and back at it occasionally as he talks.
"I sit among great musical talent." Cameron says after a moment. "I almost feel the need to show off!"
"I have heard you play, Cameron. You have no reason to need to prove yourself in this company." A small bow accompanies the kobold's words, and his wings flare out slightly making the bow more elaborate.
A moment before Vai disappears to eviscerate the archer, Phaezeriel exerts his will and a wave of healing washes out over Vai, Sadie, Yrrin, and Phaezeriel. Before it can do much of anything, Phaezeriel redirects the vast majority of the healing into Sadie, while spreading the rest to Yrrin, then to anyone else who is injured.
After healing the injured, Phaezeriel turns his attention to the spellcaster/s. With a momentary effort, his secondary mind focuses his psychic potential into lance of intent sharper than any diamond. Forcing his mind's desires to take physical form, he lashes out with telekinetic force and attempts to grapple the fiend/s.
Phaezeriel's Primary mind focuses on his allies around him, watching for any needed healing.
"I understand that, really, but we have a person in stasis that is the source of a sentient, rage inducing, hive mind virus that has reached Kuros, and you are our best bet right now. Please at least consider helping.""Empty night! And I thought things were bad in the infirmary!"
"Yes, of course, if it's examining someone in stasis. It's hard to panic when the patient can't move. I will do my best. Where is the patient, and are there already safety precautions in place?"
"Through the door there." He explains, pointing to a door that wasn't there before. "while they may provide little comfort, given how easily my best defenses and wards are outright ignored or broken, several protection protocols are in place to ensure your health and safety."
vriskra has been eating outside for a while. She looks around, and sees sun, and a new person. Curious, she diecides to investigate.
"Um... Hello."
vriskra bears her sharp teeth. Her common is shaken, and she pauses every few words.
"Happy to See you sun. Who is this?"
Ahhhh! Whattt is that! Morire retreats inside, slamming the door as the scary thing comes toward him.
Sun backs a way from the strange worm. Is that dangerous?
It is apparent that Sun seems to be a little afraid of it.
More-ie? if you can please ask your worm to back away, I would be happy to show you around the school. Sun seems to be struggling with the proper pronunciation of his name. but he is not trying to mock him. (he is only a baboon after all)
The glowing worm sits on Sun's head, making a black rainbow crown for the silver monkey...
"I still gotts ta get im signed up fer the school befrores I cin let im go. Can the welcomin committee wait fer tweny minutes?"
He crosses his arms.
Morire is inside trying to keep vriska away from himself
"I... Uh..."
she looks back at sun, after watching morrire run.
"Hmm. Still a better reaction then your first, sun."
Chuckling at Tybalt, Maya sips her drink and adds, "I'm imagining you, more as a pet sized furry creature, doing its best to wish me well and not walk out into the strange new world naked, though I assure you, I am quite well. Though, a summer dress, if that makes sense, perhaps in a light yellow, will be most appreciated. The thought you worry about me being naked upon leaving this room is amusing too. You are technically a teen, are you not? A feline knight, who would have ever imagined. Cheers to you, good sir."
She smiles again, looking at the others, looking the others over while relaxing.
"Through the door there." He explains, pointing to a door that wasn't there before. "while they may provide little comfort, given how easily my best defenses and wards are outright ignored or broken, several protection protocols are in place to ensure your health and safety."
"I understand that, really, but we have a person in stasis that is the source of a sentient, rage inducing, hive mind virus that has reached Kuros, and you are our best bet right now. Please at least consider helping.""Empty night! And I thought things were bad in the infirmary!"
"Yes, of course, if it's examining someone in stasis. It's hard to panic when the patient can't move. I will do my best. Where is the patient, and are there already safety precautions in place?"
"Thank you, Headmaster," she said in a businesslike tone. "I will get started right away. In the meantime it would be a good idea to appoint someone else temporarily in charge of the infirmary. Before Dr Wuxn permanently maims someone."
She turns to Ryuzo. "If there are protocols in place there is likely an observation station. It would be wise to have one of your clones there. Working with dangerous diseases alone is not the best idea. There should at least be someone there to report what happened if...if things go wrong."
Kitty scrambles back up the tree.
"The birds said it was just a bit north and east from here. The bear said to make sure to take a left at the apple tree and if we get to a meadow we've gone too far."
::"Its not an overly common ability, but nor is it super unique. However, it is usually an ability found only among the elite of the Succubi. Perhaps that is evidence that Kara is Ginni's mother, perhaps not. Either way, its not that important at the moment."::

Perhaps they are connected, or even one in the same. If we solve her murder, we might gain a lead on evil Vai"
Ginni frowned. "I agree that it might be a good idea, but give Mel some time. She still needs to recover from today. And I don't think that the attack on the school and the attack on Kitty were done by the same person. The attack on the school was quick, vicious, well-planned, but very angry. Aiming for maximum destruction. The attacker wanted people to be afraid. The attack on Kitty was very calculated. Taking control of the minds of her and her animals and then methodically murdering all of them...that takes a very different sort of mindset than wanting to simply destroy and cause fear. Then again, I'm not a criminal expert or anything. That's just my opinion."
Asha had been hanging back, observing, as the others talked.
"I don't know if it worked or not, but you're definitely acting more like you did when I first met you, Tryko'Sam," she said after a while, relaxing a little, though she still tensed up every time the servant walked in.

"Great to hear, Asha. So, I don't suppose there's much more to do on that topic, for now-- something I glad of for now. Or until I lose my head again, heh. What did you guys want to do? We still have the rest of the weekend to fool around with, right? Just no getting drunk on the roof!"
He grins charmingly and folds his arms on his chest while regarding his peers warmly. "Suppose there's always reading or prepping for Monday's classes, huh? Say, how far along are we into the school semester or whatever is it?"
A light blue shows through the white fur on his face with the complements being dispensed to him.
"Heh. Thanks, I think. I just like to take care of people, make them happy."
He clicks the pen a couple times until he is happy with the color in it.
"I'm actually twenty three apparently, but I've been in space transit sleep for some of that, and I'm actually, like, sixteen, eighteen-ish, but I haven't aged biologically since the thing happened when I was like twelve and I ended up frozen like this, soooooo. Age is really complicated for me, but I guess 17-ish is what counts. My birthday is the very middle of winter, so I guess I can just go with 17 then, whenever that is here."
He looks to Tryko'Sam.
"We were going to take Asha to the infirmary for a check up. She does magic, but not really, magic-magic. It's different. We were hoping they could shed some light on it. And we haven't had a full week here yet. I got here, I think Wednesday and class started the next day."
Back to Maya.
"Are you sure you don't want anything warmer? It's fall, so you wouldn't have long to wear a summer dress. And I think fall colors work better with your hair too. I mean, it's your dress, but it won't be in season for long, if that's something you care about."
Ginni frowned. "I agree that it might be a good idea, but give Mel some time. She still needs to recover from today. And I don't think that the attack on the school and the attack on Kitty were done by the same person. The attack on the school was quick, vicious, well-planned, but very angry.

Then again, I'm not a criminal expert or anything. That's just my opinion."
Ace beams at his girlfriend's rather insightful thought process and gives her a quick kiss on the cheek "Wow babe, that's pretty apt conclusion. Color me impressed. You're right, I think, about them being different attackers, but that doesn't mean they didn't work together. Perhaps the two attacks were a coincidence, but I try not to ever think that way."
"Through the door there." He explains, pointing to a door that wasn't there before. "while they may provide little comfort, given how easily my best defenses and wards are outright ignored or broken, several protection protocols are in place to ensure your health and safety."
"I understand that, really, but we have a person in stasis that is the source of a sentient, rage inducing, hive mind virus that has reached Kuros, and you are our best bet right now. Please at least consider helping.""Empty night! And I thought things were bad in the infirmary!"

He looks at her, with a look that says he's going to protest. Then a look of wonder and pride take the form of a smile, and he nods. A clone springs up next to her, and then two more.
"I will send one with you to watch while you work, and the other two into town so you can have eyes on the scene as well. I am very proud of you, Nala Zamarosok." ...and I love you...his body language says as he give her a nod, and he and two of his clones vanish. The other clone he left behind, beckons for you to lead on.
