"We could go back to the room and do that. Put in a desk or something."
"Yeah, that's very interesting."
roel doesn't seem terribly impressed... Though he doesn't seem like much of anything, with no expressions at all.
"Yeah, sure. I could, show you my notes. Maybe you could help."
He draws and flips around his switch blade, with an arcane word he summons another skeleton to take their trays away for them.
With his minion doing that, he offers her his right hand, stowing his knife in his vest pocket with his left.
"Lead on then."
He says with a bright white smile, showing his slightly pointed canines.
"Dude you have to try this!"
He pulls up next to Roel.
"Climb on or in or whatever! This is so cool!"
roel wraps himself carefully around Kevin, as to not restrict his movements.
Kevin allows Roel to climb on and begins zooming around the water at insane speeds, going under for a moment, then back up, jumping for a short distance then back under and then to the surface, very much enjoying his new abilities.
Looking down at Carl, standing about six feet two himself, Tryko'Sam says, "Well, yeah, was hoping to get some bonding time with the fellow heroes-- but, looks like people are just heading into the school instead. Nice to meet yah, called Tryko'Sam. You a student here?"
Tryko'Sam's dressed in leather boots, pants and a loose white shirt, jacket atop that. Very black with off white. Could easily pass for a Bard, if someone were to guess professions by outfits.
Carl's all of 3,2 but very wide he's clean and smells of strong aftershave, he's in a kilt, boots and white shirt. Phew hot two well made arm braces that look magic. He's a hiary chap with a big smile on his face.
"Good ya meet ya Sam, yep I'm a student! just got her, but been doing runs up the the fake sun in me shap last few days. Me mate Arthur's around here some place, he likes a drink and the lady's as well, be the would be up for a taven or two"
Cindra watches the byplay between the other firebirds, wishing they would all just be quiet so she could enjoy the music.
"Well, to be honest, I'm not sure where to go-- seems like something changes any drink here, and I don't know any other towns nearby. Low on coin too. That's some serious cologne you're sporting."
He glances once more at whoevers left of the prior expedition, then shrugs.
"How about we meet up with your mate, Arthur, and figure it out? I suppose I should get a snack in me, I sometimes forget to eat., certainly wouldn't want bad breath from not doing that."
He'll stand there just in case someone else walks over, but, his expectations are waning.
"If we know of a place to go, I've met a few nice girls I could invite. Make it a good sized group."
If Tryko'Sam noticed anything about the armbands, he doesn't mention them.
::intriguing, very well, do you know of any way I could contact her?::"If Taron is still in the school you could use the arrows to lead the way to him. "
Seeing how Sams looking around
"like that is it, ya mates dumped ya to go off and do home work and such. I ken what's that's like, local town has a bad few days. Some kind of attack or some thing, so that's not going to be a fun place at go. And ya right, school has some ward that makes drink all but water and even puts me cigars out, bloody crime it is. The good news Sam is I has a mining ship see we could heads out an look for a nice big city, park up outside so as not to upset the locals and head in for a wild night of drink, lasses and fun. If you short on the readys I can lend ya some et"
Carl reches into his sporen and brings out two lumps of rock, he cracks them to giver in his hands like walnuts. Bits of powder and dust fall out. He offers up his open hands to Sam.
In them is a small cluster of uncut gems worth about 3000 gps
"I had some left over from paying for me new kilt, that should get you a beer or three. if not a lass for the night. "
He the presses a gem on his arm band and talks into it.
@Aruther
"here Aruther mining trips on hold, I looking to go on a ttaven crawl, just meet a nice feller I think you would like, he's up for it, ask tin man if he's up for driving us."
"Further, the antimagic seems to be made by my cells on it's own. It cusses me to be very hungry too... Fortunately, since the last incident, I've stabilized somewhat, and can go reasonable amounts of time without eating."
"Sounds like a smart back up plan, if you ask me. You'll either die because healing magic is useless or you starve to death before you can ingest enough to counter the effects in more extremem cases."
Kitty grinned. "Great! Well, it won't take that long to prepare since it doesn't need to cook....do we have any rice? I'm sure we can make do without if we need to....I'm just going to go check in the kitchen to see what ingredients I have to work with," she said, deed following word almost immediately.
The half-elven woman smiles and went to go hang Kitty's clothes out to dry. A few minutes later Michael walks in the kitchen to watch Kitty.
"What did mom convince you to cook this time?"
"You may make the first move."
Hermes gestures to the board and they begin their game.
Afte a game which Pyry struggles with a little, he looks at Hermes.
"um... not to be rude or anything, but what are you? You look a little like the stuff inside the observatory. You know, the telescope?"
|
::intriguing, very well, do you know of any way I could contact her?::"If Taron is still in the school you could use the arrows to lead the way to him. "
::very well, I shall attempt to contact them, many thanks to you, high seer:: zix inclines his head to the headmaster then leaves his office attempting to use the arrows to contact those he was suggested to find.
With Hermes on beginner mode and Pyry's general grasp of the game, they reach a stalemate.
"I am an android: Humanoid Robotic Manual Servant model 10. Abbreviated H.R.M.S.-XI. Given name Hermes. I was built as servant, or a butler in common terms, for the Barren family. Sir chose me to be repurposed as a bodyguard and stealth and reconnaissance drone. I run on a self improving artificial intelligence program that allows me to adapt to any given environment, as opposed to repeating simple tasks that an unimproved HRMS model does. An Automaton is a mechanical figure or contrivance constructed to act as if by its own motive power; robot."
"Bleek" Kiz says, bumping against Tybalt's leg, having shown up from nowhere...
Its six legged grey, black, and cream fur is sleek and thick, as it looks up at the group
"Hello Kizmetz. How have you been?"
He offers him one of the fish sticks.
"Kizmetz is Renkai's. Or at least he thinks he is."
He says to Melody.
Seeing how Sams looking around

@Aruther
"here Aruther mining trips on hold, I looking to go on a ttaven crawl, just meet a nice feller I think you would like, he's up for it, ask tin man if he's up for driving us."
Shrugging at the 'mates' that Carl mentions, Tryko'Sam doesn't appear to say much on that.
"I was seeing something unusual going on in Kuros, maybe we should go lend a hand? I mean, what's a second heroic effort after doing similar elsewhere?" Tryko'Sam appears to ask, more to himself, yet aloud.
Then looking at the uncut gems and then the wrist action, he smoothly takes the stones saying, "Are these anything specific? I'm hoping you didn't make those with your strength alone, just broke the rock around it, right?"
Waiting to hear if the wrist thing makes a response, he does ask, "So, is that tech or magic? Kind of surprised that's not more common, easy way to communicate."
"Hello Kizmetz. How have you been?"
He offers him one of the fish sticks.
"Kizmetz is Renkai's. Or at least he thinks he is."
He says to Melody.
Kiz licks the fish stick, and keeps rubbing against Tybalts leg, purring happily, but not hungry enough to eat
"Hello Kizmetz. How have you been?"
He offers him one of the fish sticks.
"Kizmetz is Renkai's. Or at least he thinks he is."
He says to Melody.
Mel looks down, He is? Funny, Kai never mentioned him before. Mel gets out of her seat to so she can get to Kizmetz's level.
so, you belong to Renkai? So tell me how has he been treating you?
asks reaching out to pet the cat.
even though she is speaking common Kizmetz can understand her like she is speaking "cat"
"I was seeing something unusual going on in Kuros, maybe we should go lend a hand? I mean, what's a second heroic effort after doing similar elsewhere?"
Carl's face spreads in to a big grin.
"I always likes the sound of heroic efforts, may be some nice dwarf lass needs her beard saving."
Than as sSm takes the gems and says
"Are these anything specific? I'm hoping you didn't make those with your strength alone, just broke the rock around it, right?"
"I wish I could make em with me bear hands, but ye right ladde I just busted off the bits a space rock around em. That's what I do for a living with me ship see. Find a star system, look around for some Ort-rock o world that's got something a value on it. Blast bits off and box em up. I ne process em, just go looking for the closes Gnome settlement and sell what I finds off."
Waiting to hear if the wrist thing makes a response, he does ask, "So, is that tech or magic? Kind of surprised that's not more common, easy way to communicate."
"Linked to me ship, Teleport trackers and ship comms, Arthur and Tinman are both linked to it, and I think Mel knows the Channel as well. School and planet flight control dos a course, ya have to tell them. If we go to Kuros we could take the HammerShaft me ship. stock it up with stuff of use for me. Jimimny has a Shuttle plant out there, we can part there, or we could take a skimmer, even Teleport, me ships got the range. Ya ever flown one Sam, old on a mo just had an idea"
Carl makes another call and leaves a massage.
@HRMS-XI "Hermes"
"Here Hermes, you seen Arthur, thinking a taking a tip into Kuros to offer help, with a fellow student called Sam, may have a beer wile there. Lots a fine ladys need a saving, if ya see him could ya let him know where we have gone."
He looks back at Sam.
"Arthur will be here faster than a Grsee Bears Fart in winter. , you see"
Them leaves a massage for Mel
@Mel
"Here Mel change a plans, seems there has been some trouble in the local town, Think of heading over with some, supply's and to offer help. Ya want ta come,"
He chuckles to himself
"Well beats sitting around here doing nothing of use Sam, Feels good to be helping others. So then, any one you know want to lend and hand?"
"Hello Kizmetz. How have you been?"
He offers him one of the fish sticks.
"Kizmetz is Renkai's. Or at least he thinks he is."
He says to Melody.Mel looks down, He is? Funny, Kai never mentioned him before. Mel gets out of her seat to so she can get to Kizmetz's level.

asks reaching out to pet the cat.
even though she is speaking common Kizmetz can understand her like she is speaking "cat"
"Bleek" the cat says, and for some reason there is no meaning behind the noise, just some noise it makes. Kizmetz bumps against Melody's legs too, purring loudly, licking and batting at your pants curiously.
Tryko'Sam doesn't have a blank look on his face, but it would be close to impossible not to realize he's having a hard time following some of what Carl says.
"Alright. Space ship, miner, got it. Gnomes. Right." Glancing towards Kuros he says, "I think the place is a bit of a ghost town, right now. Not sure that'd be a good place to visit without knowing the situation. Pity there isn't a centralized message board."
He watches Carl do his calls to the others, and smiling slightly, waits to hear responses before speaking again.
Alreeneeshaa started to wake, something was impeding her movement, she was here, the Galaxy she had sort. She came out of warp space, that ethereal reality just above the prime. She started to feel the pull of gravity, the push of charges participial radiation from clump off matter ahead, that made up the billion billion stars with this disk galaxy. For a wile she admired its spender and wonder. The hark hart of a massive singularity. As she got close slowing now she reached out to her outer most edges, pulling herself in-would, coalescing her from. She must take a shape that could survive in that mass of suns. More to the point one sun and the world around it. It had been a long time seance she had stood deep in a gravity well. Her shifting to new form would take time. she had been fully fully unfold, wile translocating. It was safe to do so the warp space star seed used to move throw with in the cosmos. It allowed them to move fastest down the corrodes of matter that made up the threads of galactic super clusters. That web work of matter between the vast voids of space. Star Seeds kept away from the Voids, in them cold, dark evil things larked. Soulless, mindless things that sort to end all, madness was the only thing to be found in the voids. Better to keep to the places of light and hope. She had entered the Galactic disk now, her course set. She passed young bright blue suns and old bloated red ones that had eaten there worlds in their last acts of death. Then Yellow sun, middles aged and surrounded by worlds, some full of life. She lets the dreams and minds of the beings on them enter her, feeling what they felt, seeing with there eyes. joy, love, loss, hate, anger, happiness endless and wonderful. She longed so much to stop and be pulled into those small globes of minds. But she course was set, there could be no changing now. So as she passed she let them go, fading with the light of their suns. The at last see spotted the sun she was set for. Alrrenneeshaa was small now, Tinny compared to what she had been when 1st she came to this Galaxy. She was moving much slower now as well, light speed, she past rocks in space, even a. craft of some kind, then down to a single world. The Atmosphere was thick, but it did not slow her as she sank down into its gravity well. She Spotted a land, a hill, plant life of some kind, being made lights, being made forms. She was truly small now. Being sized, she slowed to almost a stop, synchronising her movement in space with the spinning of the world around its sun. She would not fly thought it or off it now. She looked around, Lights ahead and a building. She reached out her hands, a web of light come into being around her, forms moves pattens so complex, moving shifting. Then it stopped, she was looking past the web as the landscape, that two matched.
"Good, this is the place, I have arrived"
She thought to herself.
The star-seed started to move toward the buildings as a walking speed.
Tryko'Sam doesn't have a blank look on his face, but it would be close to impossible not to realize he's having a hard time following some of what Carl says.
"Alright. Space ship, miner, got it. Gnomes. Right." Glancing towards Kuros he says, "I think the place is a bit of a ghost town, right now. Not sure that'd be a good place to visit without knowing the situation. Pity there isn't a centralized message board."
He watches Carl do his calls to the others, and smiling slightly, waits to hear responses before speaking again.
"A what bored??, no idea what that is Sam sorry. But we can have a peek fast of you like. How about we Teleport to me ship and then out to the town, have a looks see. What ya think."
::I have not had contact with sir since the radio communication before the last transports on the Sun. Should I search for him?::
Almost speaking to herself as Nala examines the scan results, "I told you; it cannot be stopped. They tried, and they knew how it was made."
When Nala asks about the person to whom Jessa has been referring, she does not reply immediately, and sounds reluctant to speak when she does, "Talking about her makes her, um, stronger?" Jessa takes a deep breath and continues, "She is me. Only she is not me. I do not know how to explain. Sometimes I am in control of myself, and sometimes I cannot do anything except watch what she does with me." After a brief hesitation, she continues "I do not think she knows that I am actually real. I think that she thinks she is dreaming right now. She is very hard to keep away when she wakes up." Jessa seems about to say more but does not.
"Oh, it can be stopped. It's just more difficult than originally anticipated. I told you, I don't lose patients if I can help it."
"Now...I am concerned about this other presence in your mind. There are a couple of things that can cause something like this. Miss Mar'Niell, I am a telepath of no small skill. With your permission, I would like to examine your mind to see if I can determine exactly what is going on in there. How we deal with this issue going forward changes drastically depending on what the root cause is."
Something blue and green is speed boating around the lake.
"What do you think that shiny thing was?"
"nee Tinman! he well be with a lass! best let him be! till she slaps his face hehe I'll let ya know if ya need ya"
"No idea. Nothing important probably. There are all sorts of weird things around here. I mean, look at me."
A large female elf like being made of light is walking across the lake.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Kevin enters a figure 8 shaped stalling pattern across the lake from her as he talks with Roel.
"Pretty sure he, she, it is new. Do you want to go say hi?"
"Meh. If you want to. I don't hear anything."
"She's all shiny and stuff. Can you use your eyes?"
The music takes a slight turn from the sad to the upbeat with the next few songs.
Asha sees that the grumpy boy is doing better now so she quietly slips out of the infirmary and finds herself alone in the hallway and not sure what to do next.
"nee Tinman! he well be with a lass! best let him be! till she slaps his face hehe I'll let ya know if ya need ya"
Ephebe smiled as she watched the children showing off among themselves.
"Sara is right about the tree, Grim. Wet wood is no good for building a fire. Here, let me take care of that," she says, touching the tree, which suddenly aged as if it had been drying for a year or more. "That should be better."
"Hmmm....you've all brought such interesting things. It's very difficult to choose which one I find the most interesting. But I think that Sara's and Midori's items are the ones that intrigue me the most. It's very hard to choose between them. Hmmm. I think that it might actually be a tie."
Sadie headed off to check on Dara as soon as they got back. Part of her wanted to take Tryko'Sam up on that bar crawl offer, but the last time she'd had alcohol it hadn't gone so well for her. And her personal life was already a total mess.
"Not so much in the water. Causes problems."
"Yay." Sara says simply, excited by finding the interesting thing.
She takes the now dead leaves and puts them underneath, building a small pyramid on top of it with some of the larger branches teepee'd on top.
:)
"Let's just go see if they need any help. Meet someone new, I guess."
Along with his new body, he feels like he has some new confidence, more open to dealing with and meeting people now that he is in a body he's more comfortable with. More bold and less introverted.
He buzzes up along side the mass of glowing light.
"Hello. How are you doing tonight?"
A large blue... thing pulls up to Alreenneesha. It resembles a squishy sea monster. It wears a white, stitched together lab coat and coating of green gel around that and speaks in mildly deep teenager/draconic/ooze voice.
Kitty grinned. "Great! Well, it won't take that long to prepare since it doesn't need to cook....do we have any rice? I'm sure we can make do without if we need to....I'm just going to go check in the kitchen to see what ingredients I have to work with," she said, deed following word almost immediately.The half-elven woman smiles and went to go hang Kitty's clothes out to dry. A few minutes later Michael walks in the kitchen to watch Kitty.
"What did mom convince you to cook this time?"
She smiled. "I offered. As an apology for dripping on the floors. And we're having sashimi. Also cucumber salad and miso soup. I made lots of soup," she said, pointing to the pot on the stove, "in case people were too weirded out by the sashimi. I think I might need to bring some cooking supplies the next time we visit."
"Oh, it can be stopped. It's just more difficult than originally anticipated. I told you, I don't lose patients if I can help it."
"Now...I am concerned about this other presence in your mind. There are a couple of things that can cause something like this. Miss Mar'Niell, I am a telepath of no small skill. With your permission, I would like to examine your mind to see if I can determine exactly what is going on in there. How we deal with this issue going forward changes drastically depending on what the root cause is."
Jessa seems frightened by the prospect of Nala being inside her mind, "You want to examine my .. mind? Like to come inside my head and sort through things? My mind is the only place I am safe. I don't want anyone inside my mind. No! Stay out!" She is shaking her head by the time she finishes, moving more animated and confident than at any other time since she regained consciousness. She begins backing away from Nala until she bumps into something behind her.
