"You can jump, right? Flying is just a really long jump that can get crazy.""And if you let me know this time, I can catch you, instead of careening out of control across the roof." Rena teases gently brushing the tip of her wing against her arm.
"Oh, the flying is easy enough. Ummm....as long as the wind doesn't get too crazy. Like I said, it's landing that's hard."
She smiled when Rena brushed her arm with her feathers.
"Here we go," she said as they arrived at the door to the infirmary and hesitated. "I don't even know who to ask after. We never even learned his name."
Sometime after sunrise that morning, while Sadie Jhiwoon is busy doing her daily cleaning of the Light Blades classroom, there comes a soft rapping at the door.
"You can come in!" she called out, her arms full of bamboo practice swords that she was putting away in their proper racks.
Ace is clearly pissed at Royston "How in the Nine Hells could possibly think terminating our duel just because you didn't like how it was going was at all a good idea? Forcing us to do what you want is a total abuse of power. The whole point of this fight was based on freedom of choice, and you just robbed us of ours." He looks like he's about to hit the professor, then obviously thinks better of it, and stalks off.
"I guess that means you're done with your duel?"
Dave looks on to ace turns away and shrugs "whelp, I guess that's that, so you teach PE? Advanced, regular or both?"
"I teach both, but of course Advanced takes more personal attention," she said with another polite bow. "Which one are you taking?"
Sapphire swooped down and tried to pounce on the grasshopper that Nova was stalking.While Sapphire does in fact get a tasty treat to eat, he also gets a collision with a ball of fur not a split-second later as Nova's pounce comes to completion.
Janie grinned. "Me too. And I will do my best to live up to the honor of being the first official friend," she said with a mock formal bow, and then giggled.He laughs when she giggles along with her.
"The duties aren't too involved. Just warn me about the dumb monsters now and then."
"Can do!"
"You seem pretty cool. I bet you'll have lots of friends here before you know it," she said, encouraging.
"Advanced, I have to keep in shape, after all," he clears his throat "I do appologize for the inconvienience, and I thank you for intervening on our behalf" he gives a small bow,
Sapphire swooped down and tried to pounce on the grasshopper that Nova was stalking.While Sapphire does in fact get a tasty treat to eat, he also gets a collision with a ball of fur not a split-second later as Nova's pounce comes to completion.
Kitty shrieks as she is awakened by the sound of growling and hissing and thumps as Saphhire and Nova wrestle through the hallway.
"Advanced, I have to keep in shape, after all," he clears his throat "I do appologize for the inconvienience, and I thank you for intervening on our behalf"
"Dou itashi mashite. I look forward to seeing you in class. I am sure you will enjoy today's exercises."
Tybalt is waiting at the bench.
He has finished eating and his belly is large, round and funny looking in comparison to his otherwise slight and curvy frame, as it is usually after doing so.
The guitar is in his lap, and he idly tunes it while waiting for Mel to return, very careful to keep his claws in.

Lucas looked to the bound trio and projects to them ::I do appologize for the.. Less composed of us, sometimes it is easier to placate and ignore them than to directly oppose them, though we are beings of fire we have just as much to learn from the philosophy of water,::Elektra gave him an odd look and turned her attention back to her companions.
Lucas gives the bird equilivant of a shrug and turns back to his family turning back to his humanoid form and closes his eyes, appearing to rest as he sharpens the sensory input from his enhanced nose and ears, the silence spell had been most disconcerting.
Mel comes up to Tybs and plops down next to him.
Hey there...all in working order then? she asks seeing him tune the strings.
How did things go last night?
He gives a feral grin "looking forward to it, now I you'll excuse me, I must dash, this "duel" interrupted my meal, and I had barely had one tray of food, so I must dash"he gives a further small bow and quickly walks out the door.

"You seem pretty cool. I bet you'll have lots of friends here before you know it," she said, encouraging.
"I hope so. It sure is weird being around this many people, and still feeling alone..."

"Huh? Whuzzat?" Michael mutters, sitting up quickly and hugging kitty out of reflex/instinct.
"I can hear up there whizzing about. It's really very distracting. I wish it would just sit still for a moment... Anyways. If it gets near, do you want me to catch it? I think I could. Would be good to try."
Those that are especially perceptive will notice his blue gel build up around his left arm slightly.
Ace stops, and turns back to face Nanami, responding only if Royston is gone. "I would like to continue the duel, as long as nobody else decides to abuse their power as a teacher, and force me to do as they please. As I said, I just need to let off some steam."
He walks over to David and actually extends a hand "Sorry I went off you. Too much built up over this weekend, and when Tybalt called you an alpha, it just made me blow up. Not asking for you to forgive me, or trying to make an excuse for what I said, but I went too far."
"Hmm? Oh. Ya. I just thought I would, because I had time. Chords are the same as piano. Here."
He hands the guitar over.
"Good, actually. Not best. But good. I think it. May possibly. Go somewhere. In the future."
He looks her over.
"Uniform. Blech. Why? I mean, OK on you, but... the word uniform...."
He shudders.
"It means the same as everyone else..."
Archena accepts a few with a smile.
"Thanks, babe."
She pops one in her mouth.
While chewing she says, "so if he's wonked up to do fire, what's he doing in the reject bin? Sounds like they'd be all over that."
Mel takes the guitar and sets it down.
what's wrong with the uniform, I hear some boys find it a rather attractive. she adds with a wink.
ya know, I could almost swear, something is buggun ya. you know your gonna have to tell me right? She gives Tybs that, I'm here for you kind of smile.
"Could you please, he's my familiar and rather out of hand at the moment." She gives a slight sigh, "Usually he's...contained, not this chaotic."
"K."
Kevin downs a potion and waits for Loki to stray within 20-30 feet.
"I hope so. It sure is weird being around this many people, and still feeling alone..."
"Hey!" she said, giving him a friendly 'punch' on the arm. "You're not alone now, remember? You've got a friend, right here."
"Huh? Whuzzat?" Michael mutters, sitting up quickly and hugging kitty out of reflex/instinct.
Kitty shrieks as she is awakened by the sound of growling and hissing and thumps as Saphhire and Nova wrestle through the hallway.
The Sapphire and Nova fight sort of tumbled and scampered at speed, bouncing off of walls and running across furniture like beds, tables, chairs, wall shelves and so on. They ran across the bed where Michael and Kitty were before running back out of the room. Crashing sounds could be heard. It was impossible to tell which familiar was winning, but it was a safe bet that the furniture and anything breakable was losing.
Kitty was breathing heavily, but she seemed to relax a little when the brawling duo zipped past. "I was having the worst dream," she said, her breathing starting to slow as she leaned her head on Michael's shoulder.
"Well, ya. It's a good look, specially for you, but just... uniformity.... he says it with the same shudder as before."
"Nothing in particular. A bunch of little things, I guess. Raelle was here and we talked and it was awkward. But before that, Casil came up and started being a big jerk, calling me and Dave names and stuff, and he eventually bated Dave into fighting him, so they're doing that instead of us getting to eat breakfast together.... the nice girl with the reddish skin got upset when he did that... " he says so, sounding more than a bit peeved/jealous that Ace was monopolizing his Dave time. "Tryko'Sam arrived almost dead, got better, acted all weird, took some wizardy stuff and vanished again. So that was... special..." He's still confused about that, and sounds so.
"Then there's the fact that you haven't introduced me to your friend yet." He gives a light smile, reminding Melody of her manners in a joking way.
"It's okay, Kitty, I'm here. Tell me about it, okay? I'm a big boy, I can help."
"Well, ya. It's a good look, specially for you, but just... uniformity.... he says it with the same shudder as before."

*blink* *blink*
ahhhh, yeah, Tybs, This is Florence, and Florence this is my friend Tybalt, I call him Tybs. Florence here can run really fast, and she has these shoes that can talk to you, but you have to be like touching them.
Mel decides to not even talk about the others since that may just lead to unwanted hurts.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we were getting a bite to eat with vai and fei, you might as well join us, better than eating alone.
"Oh, the flying is easy enough. Ummm....as long as the wind doesn't get too crazy. Like I said, it's landing that's hard."
She smiled when Rena brushed her arm with her feathers.
"Here we go," she said as they arrived at the door to the infirmary and hesitated. "I don't even know who to ask after. We never even learned his name."
If, and when they step into the recently refurbished infirmary, it won't take long before a nurse meets them and asks what they need.
The nurse does, however, heal Pyry's injury, unless completely obscured.
Archena accepts a few with a smile.
"Thanks, babe."
She pops one in her mouth.
While chewing she says, "so if he's wonked up to do fire, what's he doing in the reject bin? Sounds like they'd be all over that."
Ulna Terrianos
Initially unsure, Ulna does take a snack with quite, polite thanks. She has little to offer though towards Archena's comments. She does dwell on it while nibbling away, occasionally peeking over at those near her.
Other Two
The other two young adults appear to maintain as before, the a she'd haired youth, quiet and stoic still, while the tall thin one scowling still while ignoring any conversation.
Sven Brightedge
Sven remains alert while not speaking.
The dragon girl at the table looked up, "Lemme guess, you got pranked by an imp didn't you," she asked.
"I can hear up there whizzing about. It's really very distracting. I wish it would just sit still for a moment... Anyways. If it gets near, do you want me to catch it? I think I could. Would be good to try."
Those that are especially perceptive will notice his blue gel build up around his left arm slightly.
Ehos glances at the girl seated next to the rather helpful goo monster, the tray finally coming free of his hand.
'Couldn't say. Didn't see whoever did it. It's cool though, I can appreciate a prank once in a while.' Ehos replies to the strange girl with a shrug. 'Besides, no harm, no foul right?' the pad displays against, with a wink from the elven boy. It's a bit difficult trying to read the pad and also pay attention to what he's doing at the same time.
He was about to suggest that the girl, y'know, not bind an Imp if that's what she had done, but then his thoughts drifted to Phaeze, and decided against it. Maybe the Imp was an outside case, just like him.
'Yeah, I'm gonna go wash my hands. Could you watch my pad while I do that? Don't want to touch it with this stuff.' he says with an appreciative smile, before heading off towards the Men's to wash up.
Maya smiles again, her eyes flicker to the pointy ends of Tyrrin's ears, then back to her features in a proper social act of looking directly at the person speaking with.
"Professor Maya Rhys, recently arrived. I merely wished to compliment you on your lovely hair styling. Is that something you accomplished on your own, or is there a hair dresser in the school?"
Maya seems casual, mostly, having that slight English aristocrat accent.
"I hope you don't mind-- I only meant to bid you hello and the question on hair dresser. If I am interrupting you on your course, by all means, don't let me. I'm certain we may meet again. The school cannot possibl-- well, hopefully, I should say, not be that big."
She stands there with arms crossed in front of her, datapad held against chest, smiling faintly.
"Pleasure to meet you, Professor Rhys." Tyrrin replies primly to the introduction, offering a handshake, as she knew was the human custom. Her Common speech has a slight accent to it, but it would be difficult to place. The almost lilting quality of the Gaelic tongues is present. "Tyrrin Denulia, Student Council President." she has quite good manners, all things considered, though perhaps a bit brusque. It is still early in the morning though, maybe she hasn't had her coffee yet.
"Erm... my hair? It's really nothing more than a quick twist and a pin to hold it in place. Functional, really." she replies, slightly uncomfortable with a subject as unfamiliar to her as hairstyling and fashion.
"I'm not in a terrible rush, but perhaps you can tell what you will be teaching, Professor? I am substituting for the Basic Arcana teacher at the moment, but once she's feeling ready to teach again, I will be once again attending classes."
At that there's a momentary glance at the datapad held by Maya, but just a casual, cursory glance, nothing terribly curious about it. The datapads were becoming fairly ubiquitous at the school, after all.
Raelle hugged him tightly, clearly upset. And starting to cry.
Ardiente is slightly taken aback by this reaction, though his arms instinctively go around her, pulling her close and returning the hug just as tightly. "Hey, hey." he says tenderly, this being a completely new experience for him. His girlfriend was hugging him and crying. Sure, he had consoled her before, but not when they were romantically involved.
His left hand goes up to stroke her hair gently. "What's wrong Raelle?" he asks softly, not caring one ounce for the fact that the spectacle he had caused had drawn eyes to them, and now the crying was drawing even more. All his focus at that moment was on the girl in his arms.
"Of course Phaezeriel isn't evil! He works in the infirmary. He helps people."
"I'm just afraid that my powers don't have any uses that are for good. They were intended to be used to lure people into doing bad things, after all. And even when I use them for good reasons, like stopping Kai from trying to kill someone over something stupid...well....the fact that it becomes easier to influence someone every time I do it...living with that kind of temptation is hard. And...people stop trusting you after a while. Even if you don't misuse it, they know you can."
"That's hogwash, Ginni." Repp replies, himself getting heated in that moment. "I've spoken to people about Phaezeriel. He's a healer of the mind, but before he can heal their minds, he needs access. People are willing to trust the sanctity of their minds to a Demon. Why? Because he's shown that he is worthy of trust." Repp calms down slightly, though his gaze is still fixed, maintaining eye contact with Ginni.
"There are plenty of people here who seem to have enough power to level entire cities, if they pushed themselves. If people want to assume the worst of you, then you ought not associate with them. They aren't worth even a moment of your time. When those rumours about you surfaced, who stood with you? They are the ones who matter."
"You can come in!" she called out, her arms full of bamboo practice swords that she was putting away in their proper racks.
The knob jiggles slightly, then turns and the door opens. For a moment, Sadie might've mistaken the woman entering the room for Vai, though she's significantly older, and wearing what looks like a gown issued by the infirmary. Sadie saw this woman yesterday... it's Vai's mother.
She appears rather nervous, standing in the door frame.
"Um... hello. Are you Sadie Jhiwoon?" she asks tentatively, her long, wavy blonde hair would be a match for Vai's except it's about twice as long, falling down to a little below chest level.
Vai was laughing and flying backwards, having turned to watch Fei in his steady tread up to the cafeteria, abandoning the chase of Florence when she realized she was far outmatched (and also at the realization that Fei himself wasn't hurrying terribly quickly after them).
"Slowpoke!" she calls happily back to him across the green from the patio which connected into the cafeteria.
She waited another couple moments, just watching him walk towards her in the dawn light, appreciating the way he moved - surety and grace.
Being an impatiently hungry dragon, Vai does eventually turn to go inside, her wings finally folding and then melding into her body, vanishing completely by the time she's inside the crowded cafeteria.
And then she spots Tybalt.
"Another one?" she asks quietly to herself, wondering if Tybalt knows what he's gotten himself into. "Mercy, huh?"
Meanwhile, to Tybalt's eyes, Vai is glowing bright and radiantly, her portfolio obvious to Tybalt's Champion senses - Vai is the Champion of Light.
If, and when they step into the recently refurbished infirmary, it won't take long before a nurse meets them and asks what they need.
The nurse does, however, heal Pyry's injury, unless completely obscured.
Rena greets the nurse with at least some restraint, not going quite so far as to kiss them, but settling instead to appreciatively stroke their arm (assuming they have an arm). "Good morning. We just wanted to check on a boy that might've been teleported here. He started shaking alot, and it looked like it hurt him. We wanted to make sure he was alright." Rena explains simply, all the while continuing her appreciative stroking, unless rebuked by the nurse.
She gives a small nod and pulls the items closer to her before returning to her breakfast, "I'm so going to give him a piece of my mind."
Ace stops, and turns back to face Nanami, responding only if Royston is gone. "I would like to continue the duel, as long as nobody else decides to abuse their power as a teacher, and force me to do as they please. As I said, I just need to let off some steam."
He walks over to David and actually extends a hand "Sorry I went off you. Too much built up over this weekend, and when Tybalt called you an alpha, it just made me blow up. Not asking for you to forgive me, or trying to make an excuse for what I said, but I went too far."
"apology accepted at least to your actions against me, you're going to have to make it up to Tybalt, I mean you called him a child, said he was incapable of acting on his own behalf, said he was being controlled, even though thanks to that lace I couldn't use my powers on him if I tried, not to mention melting his face off, " Dave frowns, "anyway you wanna do this now or later? Cause like I said meal inturupted, but if you need this now I can oblige you"
"Ya. It's fine. I actually chemical proofed mine. I work with oozes, so it became necessary after about the third one to get eaten."
He nods as Ehos departs.
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste..."
He mutters absently while "looking"(blind sight) around for the imp.
"There we go with the dumb standards again. Wasting perfectly good talent because it's not inbreed. This is why we can't have nice things."
*blink* *blink*
ahhhh, yeah, Tybs, This is Florence, and Florence this is my friend Tybalt, I call him Tybs. Florence here can run really fast, and she has these shoes that can talk to you, but you have to be like touching them.
Mel decides to not even talk about the others since that may just lead to unwanted hurts.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we were getting a bite to eat with vai and fei, you might as well join us, better than eating alone.
"Hi. Nice to meet you."
He gives a short bow-nod to Florence."Ya. I'm done. I'll come along, though."
Despite him saying he's done, there are quite a few trays nearby. They follow him.
"Hey Vai. You look all bright and stuff. Oh! Do you do that thing too? That's so cool that we're both right here in the same place."

Rena explains simply, all the while continuing her appreciative stroking, unless rebuked by the nurse.
"It's kind of my fault... I freaked out when the building shook and he was just helping me out of my room..." He felt bad. Who else starts their first day causing the person helping them to go to the infirmary?
"Hi. Nice to meet you."
He gives a short bow-nod to Florence.
"Ya. I'm done. I'll come along, though."
Despite him saying he's done, there are quite a few trays nearby. They follow him.

^_^
"Well, good to see you all. Um... What are you two talking about?"
Infirmary
The nurse, female, looks at Rena as she greets her with an arm brush.
Then listening to the young man, who she healed with magic of his cheek injury seems to get who they speak of once they describe the student further.
"Ah, yes, Malcolm. He's resting, we have him under study for a short period. Thankfully his inhibitor worked and then the wards brought him here as is protocol. I assume he pushed himself? We're fairly sure there's no permanent damage this time. He certainly risks a lot when he does his gift. Good thing his body is tougher than normal."
She thinks for a moment, then motions for them to follow showing Malcolm off, resting on a bed, hooked up to heart monitors, and various other standard, but more detailed health gauging devices (for those who can discern such).
"Fairly certain he'll pull through, this isn't the first time. He just needs rest and a brief nanite restore for internal injuries our current magic supplies cannot fix."
"Pleasure to meet you, Professor Rhys." Tyrrin replies primly to the introduction, offering a handshake, as she knew was the human custom. Her Common speech has a slight accent to it, but it would be difficult to place. The almost lilting quality of the Gaelic tongues is present. "Tyrrin Denulia, Student Council President." she has quite good manners, all things considered, though perhaps a bit brusque. It is still early in the morning though, maybe she hasn't had her coffee yet.

"I'm not in a terrible rush, but perhaps you can tell what you will be teaching, Professor? I am substituting for the Basic Arcana teacher at the moment, but once she's feeling ready to teach again, I will be once again attending classes."
At that there's a momentary glance at the datapad held by Maya, but just a casual, cursory glance, nothing terribly curious about it. The datapads were becoming fairly...
Hand shake completed, Maya seems to smile in consideration of something or another after Tyrrin speaks.
"Well, the specifics aren't completely ironed out, just yet. Ms. Denulia. Though, most likely the category of Illusion weaving will fall into my portfolio, so to speak, along with what else. Perhaps I could speak to someone about substituting your Basic Arcana, so's to free you to return to your studies. We certainly would not want you to lose out on the opportunity to properly finish up your eduction."
Smiling again, she pulls out the datapad, glancing at it, the screen flashes some illumination in her features, though not visible as to what, then Maya smiles further, looking back towards Tyrrin, with datapad against her chest once more.
"I thank you for your time, just meeting and greeting, as it were. Cheerio."
