In fact the three visages also appear to speak in their own voices, save that when the side ones speak it sounds like it's coming from the middle one still.
"Giancarlo." says the angelic one.
"Lim-Môr." The one in the middle speaks, still looking rather unhappy, but speaking in a normal tone.
"Nero. I'm the one actually in this class."
The young man looks at the newcomer, blinking before asking "Um...do you mean Shoshin? If so, your looking at him." He stands from his seat, paying for the tea.
"Ya. Probly. Names close 'nuf and you's a kid."
He looks him up and down, as he turns a page on the clipboard."You's been offered a place as a student at the Avalon Academy for gifted kids. An' 'e board says ya need to be out a here soon. So, if ya's comin, get what ya bringin and s'get goin."
He takes her hand and starts to stand, "Balamor, of the Sinspinner Drow family."

He nods, taking a second to process what the strange being just said before picking up his pack, bow, sword, and quiver before walking up to him.
He takes her hand and starts to stand, "Balamor, of the Sinspinner Drow family."
"That's a pretty disturbing last name."
The sudden disappearance and reappearance of Anahita certainly takes Illithia by surprise, and she jumps slightly. "You okay?" she asks upon Anahita's return, sitting up a bit more straight than she was previously, the incident obviously forcing her attention to focus a bit more.
Upon seeing that Anahita appears unhurt and well enough to continue the coversation, she relaxes again, slouching slightly in her chair. Over the course of the past few moments, the deep red colour has faded away from the tattoos and they've returned back to the neutral black tone, though when Anahita mentions the tattoos, Illithia gets a slightly embarrassed smile and once again they shift colour subtly, this time to a lighter red - boardering on pink. "Ah.. thanks. Yeah, it's kinda like wearing a mood-ring that covers my whole body. I was born with them, and they stick with me even through polymorphing magic. Some sort of inherited something or other, apparently. They glow when I use my stronger magic."
Noticing Anahita's intent - and possibly intimate look - Illithia shifts a bit, grinning slightly. "Just so you know, I'm not really into girls. But as far as the casual thing... I mean, yeah, sex can be intensely personal or whatever, but it can also be a casual thing too. It can be whatever you want it to be. You get to decide that part."
"So.. that vanishing thing... is that why you're here? Are you a blinker, or something?" Illithia asks, giving Anahita an avenue to change the topic if she wanted to.
Anahita loses the intense gaze, clearly the non-verbal was received and understood. She smiles at the response.
"You speak as if you might allow the possibility, with a female, interesting-- is it due to the desire to experience, or experiment? Or, do you doubt a male can be found to completely fulfill this urge for your casual or intensely personal? I find myself quite curious on this topic now that you have brought it up, if you're willing, I'd appreciate speaking with you further. Additionally, I am seeking someone to educate me and naturally, an experienced person of the topic is preferred, though, to be fair, someone inexperienced is also desired for the same reasons, to be balanced in the approach, one must test all possibilities."
She lets that sit for one second, a beat, before responding to the other part, "Upon my arrival here, I found myself manipulating magic, in another fashion-- the ability to teleport, or blink, as a blink dog I presume, is known to me, intimately. I went to refer information, mentally in a library. I apologize if I startled and leaving without indicating such. It was disrespectful. I ...seem incapable just yet, of denying that when a new topic begs research. Your tattoos, the possibilities of what you can do, along with various other things-- another reason worth spending more time together. Perhaps there is much we could learn and share with one another. If it helps, I find your capabilities and spunk, attractive, plus you seem open and courageous. All good qualities in a living being."
She smiles after that semi-intellectual dump of facts. That may have been a compliment, definitely not well skilled, but she's trying.
"Well, f'that's it then. Off we go."
He turns to a wall, pulling a tarot card shape from under the pages of the clipboard.
"See ya around, Barbara, sweetcheeks."
He faces back to the wall and tosses the card at it.
It lands on the wall and becomes a door shaped portal filled with swirling greyness.
"Youth before beauty."
He gestures to the portal.
"Well, f'that's it then. Off we go."
He turns to a wall, pulling a tarot card shape from under the pages of the clipboard.
"See ya around, Barbara, sweetcheeks."
He faces back to the wall and tosses the card at it.
It lands on the wall and becomes a door shaped portal filled with swirling greyness.
"Youth before beauty."
He gestures to the portal.
He rolls his eyes before chuckling, "If you say so" before walking through the portal, a tight grip on his belongings.
In fact the three visages also appear to speak in their own voices, save that when the side ones speak it sounds like it's coming from the middle one still.
"Giancarlo." says the angelic one.
"Lim-Môr." The one in the middle speaks, still looking rather unhappy, but speaking in a normal tone.
"Nero. I'm the one actually in this class."
Vare blinks slightly, looking from side to side. To Lim-Mor, it looks like he's looking at something that might be behind him. "I'm sorry, but if only Nero is in this class, why are all of you here?" he asks, looking where Nero is displayed in the dream, and not looking at Lim-Mor at all, his eyes searching up and down.
Anahita loses the intense gaze, clearly the non-verbal was received and understood. She smiles at the response.
"You speak as if you might allow the possibility, with a female, interesting-- is it due to the desire to experience, or experiment?

She smiles after that semi-intellectual dump of facts. That may have been a compliment, definitely not well skilled, but she's trying.
"Geez, you'll make me blush." Illithia replies, her colour rising slightly - and the tattoos resolving into a more pinkish tone - at the info-dump 'praise' given by Anahita.
At this point, the one named Marsi taps Illithia on the shoulder, and the halfling glances over at her. Marsi makes some strange hand motions and gestures, which Illithia seems to understand, and proceeds to respond in kind. Marsi still hasn't voiced anything, though she doesn't appear to be silenced as Ehos is. The pink colour doesn't fade from Illithia's tattoos in the slightest during the exchange.
After about ten seconds of signing, Illithia turns back. "Sorry, Marsi doesn't really talk. She wants to know how you went and did research when you were only gone for like a half-second. Do you have time powers too?"
"As for the other stuff, I don't mind teaching and giving advice. I dunno if I could be with another girl alone... I mean, they aren't really my thing, y'know? Maybe if there was a guy there too, I could be into that. I'm sure the guy wouldn't mind either, if you know what I mean." she winks when saying that, then seems to realize... "Oh... maybe you don't know what I mean. Heh. I'm not really sure how to start. You know how the basics work right? Like... how the guy and the girl fit together?"
In Vare's perspective, all three of them move in unison. They look to their left as non dream Lim-Môr looks to his left, he and they flick their wings slightly in confusion.
"We're kinda stuck together. On one schedule. Um. What are you looking at, proffesor?"
He looks to his left, eyes straying to the talking students as he does so.
They go through the portal and arrive in the conference room full of Firebirds.
"Oh, hey. We got a registration party goin on, looks like."
"Hey, Mr.Secretary, got one more just in time for ya's."
He addresses Quilblood.
"They'll get you through what you need to know here. Welcome to the school."
He'll wait for any final remarks before heading off.
He nods, waiting with the group of firebirds as he places his quiver and the pack containing his bow and other belongings onto his shoulders, tying his sword to his hip as he looks around the room.
"Geez, you'll make me blush." Illithia replies, her colour rising slightly - and the tattoos resolving into a more pinkish tone - at the info-dump 'praise' given by Anahita.
At this point, the one named Marsi taps Illithia on the shoulder, and the halfling glances over at her.

Marsi still hasn't voiced anything, though she doesn't appear to be silenced as Ehos is. The pink colour doesn't fade from Illithia's tattoos in the slightest during the exchange.
Not sure if Comprehend Languages would cover Sign Language, or if Anahita would have any chance of recognizing it. Let me know.
After about ten seconds of signing, Illithia turns back. "Sorry, Marsi doesn't really talk. She wants to know how you went and did research when you were only gone for like a half-second. Do you have time powers too?"
"As for the other stuff, I don't mind teaching and giving advice. I dunno if I could be with another girl alone... I mean, they aren't really my thing, y'know?

"Oh... maybe you don't know what I mean. Heh. I'm not really sure how to start. You know how the basics work right? Like... how the guy and the girl fit together?"
Looking at the sign language going on, then back to Illithia after it's explained, Anahita smiles up at Marsi and says, "I teleported, into a demi-plane. The differences here and here, are radically different, including time. When I first learned of it, I was stuck in it initially for a week without food, which was a survival attempt until I learned how to leave. Thankfully, er... I feel I am speaking too much. Teleporting. Dimensional, of sorts, yet not." She motions at about her head, as if demonstrating 'noise' going on up around here. "Thoughts, urging to come forth."
Looking back at Illithia, Anahita says, "Well, the option to change into a male exists, even a Halfling if you'd prefer... or anything else natural for that matter. I am not ignorant of the how, typically between humanoids with appropriate natural organs, it is as mammals engage in sex-- which I have seen frequently, or helped to cause in groups under my watch. Hmmm... oddly enough, this conversation feels forced now, is this what you would call non-fun? just the talking without fantasizing? I ...I certainly hope I am not getting bored of it, especially not this quickly. I just ... perhaps I do not have the same sexual drive, by choice, as you have? Hmmm." She seems to dwell on it.
"How long have you been drawn to orgasms? Perhaps you are addicted, though this may be a good addiction, compared to say, a drug or killing things for pleasure?" She sounds curious, definitely not insulting though it might go that way.
Anahita's voice isn't loud, but there is something definitely impressive about her over all. She stands out, not just due to her charisma which is rather impressive, but just her sheer being.
~ Admissions Desk ~
Included among the many Firebirds, for the sudden opening portal dumping out a gargoyle and humanoid, and previously the girl with robotic dog, are four Firebirds that react in various ways.
For the most part, the clawed hand doesn't elicit a response when seen filling out forms. One probably notices the slight sneer of disgust at when the words 'arcane' are thrown about to cover up oddities.
When the robot dog arrives with Halo, however, there is an intense scrutiny of the technological device, and Sven's hand on his sheathed weapon grips it tighter. He seems focused on the dog, his face a mask of that scrutiny. He ignores Halo all together.
Once a portal opens and non-human comes out, the Gargoyle, along with his charge, Sven actually pulls his eyes off the dog, widens more at the magic use, glancing briefly at the 'adults' to see their reaction.
The claws and pen, brings about some odd smirk, but, to his previously rude credit, doesn't say anything rude.
As soon as the dog walks up, with Halo, it seems to bring out a dread in the youth, who keeps as far away as possible, or put Sorchan in between himself and it. Clearly this is terrifying and any semblance of containing himself and haughtiness goes OUT the nearest window.
"What, by all the Holy Flame, is that ...?!?!" He doesn't even have a word for the robot.
He's still keeping his distance and avoiding not looking at the growling dog, though calming only slightly if it stops snarling.
Ulna kept with the group, marveling at technology here and there, along with any magical oddity and when the Secretary Elf presented himself, smiled slightly, drawn and recoiling, slightly, at the newness of another race besides a Firebird.
She got into fetching some of the papers and such, prior to the arrival of the robot dog, but, once it arrived, she did scoot away, glancing at Halo and the dog, then around to see who was doing what. Given that most people seemed to be ignoring it, save for the Tall Thin fellow, she frowned and gave it some attention, ignoring her papers.
Upon the opening of a portal and beings walking through, she was quite wide eyed and held the papers and pen against her chest, looking on with awe, saying little.
This fellow stood off to the side, again, always an arm's reach away and not approaching unless there was enough space, and time, to keep that fact valid at all times.
The arrival of the robot, did little to change his manner. His eyes only, moved to regarded Halo and the robot, then slipped back to their neutral stare at some point on the wall.
The opening of the portal, caused him to twitch once, and he stared over more at the portal, until it closed, then briefly regard the two new arrivals, the Kitsune more than the Gargoyle, before returning to his default manner. Aloof, removed and minimal movement.
Noticing the looks their arrival had received, Shoshin briefly whispers to his gargoyle guide "Does this happen often?" he glances at each person in the room, more confused than embarrassed by the attention.
He nods, waiting with the group of firebirds as he places his quiver and the pack containing his bow and other belongings onto his shoulders, tying his sword to his hip as he looks around the room.
Seeing the new face show up Halo slowly makes her way over to him.
"You a Merck?, juz it looks like a lot of guys here are signing up for combat training. Odd thing is but the kid over there says this place is a school."
Her robot dog seems to have found a desk to hid under, it seems to be having a hard time following all that's going on around it, Hao pulls out a remote, points and clicks it at it. The robot dog powers off.
"Has a hard time in crowds"
He nods, waiting with the group of firebirds as he places his quiver and the pack containing his bow and other belongings onto his shoulders, tying his sword to his hip as he looks around the room.Seeing the new face show up Halo slowly makes her way over to him.

"Has a hard time in crowds"
Turning to the girl he nods, scratching the back of his head "I was a merc, yeah, but if your saying this place is a school we might learn something new. Combat training or not."
He briefly notices the small robot as the girl turns it off "I can understand that, my names Shoshin by the way"
"I used to be in an army, bad time, I was just a grunt and young, seen some bad things"
She stops look as if she's blocking out something
"O ye names Halo Jonnes just call me Halo.
O ye, The Robot,
keeps a girl safe you know.
Galaxy is a dangerous place and all that stuff"
She looks around then back at him.
"You know, your like drop dead gorgeous, you work out tones or is it plaic work, if it is it must have cost a lot cuz its good"
Halo look good but it all looks real
Icarus glares at the metal dog from his position on Lucas's shoulder, after he looks the dog over Icarus kaws at it, seeming to dislike the metal creature
Toby glares at Icarus, then the lights go out in its eyes as Halo, powers him off.
He blushes "Th-thanks...I work out, in my line of work, if you don't its more than likely you'll end up six-feet-under. You know?" He smiles, locking his golden eyes with hers "Besides, I'm not the only good looking one here"
"O mines all platic, did some merchant trading on Linros 5, and I like to buy myself things, so I had some work done. But thanks"
she dos a spin,
"I try my best, but I'm still not happy with the ears"
Seeing Tody getting in the way she powers him back on"
He slinks out from under the desk and comes and sits by her.
Glaring once more at the odd bird Icarus.
Halo reaches down and opens a panel on Tobys back, she takes out a Cap, closing the panel she places it on her head.
"So this place is a school, kid over there signed up for magic classes, said its free to, can you believe that. It's a wild and wonderful world we washed up on Shoshin "
Shoshin chuckles "Well, plastic or not, it looks good"
He smirks before he looks towards the dog, his eyes widening a fraction as his curiosity takes hold "I've seen and fought a lot of things, but I gotta say, seeing this is a first for me" he gives the dog a once over before seeing Halo's glare and following it to the bird, however, he decided to save that question for another time.
"Seems like it, I'm a bit of a magic user myself, though I'm not as good as an old friend of mine. Lets just hope we get to experience what this world has to offer eh?"
"OK. Let's go together, then."
She leads out of the city, thankfully the were near the edge already, so they don't pass anything scarring.
They start through the woods.
"Why do you call your bear mama? That's a funny name for a bear."
Kim looks to her teddy then to her friend.
Well, My mama gave me this Teddy when I was real little because I was afraid of the dark. She said that this Teddy bear was specially enchanted that as long as I have him with me, Mama would be there also.
She looks at her Teddy and has a mix of sadness and joy at the same time.
Then the sickness happened. everybody was getting sick. Daddy went off to try and help fight the zombies the sickness was making, but he never came home. then mama got sick. So I took teddy, and put it in Mama's arms and said that she should hold it real tight because as long as she held onto that teddy, I would be there also.
soon some people came and took me away so i wouldn't get the sickness also. later after it was all over, I searched for mama. I found her almost gone and still holding Teddy. She said. that Teddy still had the magic. so I held her and teddy, until mama stopped breathing.
She holds up her teddy, Mama went inside teddy, and me too, Now she is with me forever, and She tells me things through Teddy. so that's why I call her Mama.
~ Admission Office ~
Various of the Firebirds assembled there, continue to watch and listen, to the interactions of others in the office.
Tall, thin guy, keeps his distance from the mechanical dog.
Ash haired youth, glances back at Halo, then to the robot dog again for a longer duration, before peeling his eyes off to looks back to that spot on the wall.
"Nice. SIM room sounds good. If we need reinforcements, I can summon some."
~ Cultist Kill Squad ~
Tryko'Sam nods at Casseus and says, looking off, "I'll go prep the SIM room, get what I know built ASAP. Catch you folks there shortly, SIM 3. Maybe get whatever gear or extra ammo boxes you might need. Someone wanna go update the Prof, make sure we have the passes for this?"
As he suggest that, he steps away briefly and then vanishes sideways through a portal which shuts neatly behind him. The brief scene of a known hallway is visible, but then again, they all look the same.
"That's kinda sad, but I guess it's nice..."
She seems slightly off put, not sure if she should address the bear as a person or what.
"Um... I kinda understand. Mikayla looks like a stuffed dog, but she moves and stuff. Is it like that?"
"That's kinda sad, but I guess it's nice..."
She seems slightly off put, not sure if she should address the bear as a person or what.
"Um... I kinda understand. Mikayla looks like a stuffed dog, but she moves and stuff. Is it like that?"
Yeah kinda like that Kim says trying to help her friend understand without scaring her away.
kim look off to the distance and sees a small berry bush. Ohhh look, I recognize those they are fun to eat, they turn your tongue blue. Kim grabs her friend's hand and drags her to the berry bush.
Shoshin chuckles "Well, plastic or not, it looks good"He smirks before he looks towards the dog, his eyes widening a fraction as his curiosity takes hold "I've seen and fought a lot of things, but I gotta say, seeing this is a first for me"
"O he was a steel still cost some mega Credits but he's about the only thing I have left from my ship. Lost that in a rigged PanKoo game on Tippros 2 station. But Toby put the two nasty hit-men sent to take what little I had lift to recycle trash, did'ent you Tooobby."
She pasts his head and he seems to lose focus and the room and wag his tail like a real dog.
He gives the dog a once over before seeing Halo's glare and following it to the bird, however, he decided to save that question for another time. "Seems like it, I'm a bit of a magic user myself, though I'm not as good as an old friend of mine. Lets just hope we get to experience what this world has to offer eh?"
"Woo like real magic, that's so crazy. I mean I've seem magic tricks you know but real magic, never really believed in it till today,"
She looks over at some kid messing with fire in his hands.
"Crazy, you know I think I would like to know that, mabe a school like this is just what I need right now, so what kind of magic ya do"
She says liking at him with a smile sideways as if to say show me.
~ Admission Office ~Ash haired youth, glances back at Halo, then to the robot dog again for a longer duration, before peeling his eyes off to looks back to that spot on the wall.
Halo notes the reactions of the others there to her and Toby, she gives Ash a glance but go's back to talking to the Hunk next to her, Only the older elf seems to be as hansom but in a very elfish, not her thing at all.
Toby had taken the time to look at every one there and thing there, methodically and mechanical.
"Its blocking magic mostly, but if you'd like there is one spell I can do that won't cause any harm"
He smiles before snapping his fingers, "Dancing Lights" four orbs of light, yellow, red, green, and blue appear behind him. He then moves them closer to Halo for her to inspect.
wide eyed she says
"wooo thats sooo amazing"
She holds out her hand and moves it around the orbs.
"How did you do that?"
Tobys eyes move as he tracks the robs, but seeing them do nothing he relaxes.
He chuckles as they fade out after a moment, taking on a thoughtful expression for a minute before answering "I don't really know, I've been able to do it since I was very young. My other spells come with training"
"I'm not really good at explaining it, but if this is a school for magic then the others should be able to explain it better" he shrugs.
"O have got to find out how to do that, do you know how badly lit shopping mall changing rooms are. Just a wave of your hand a as much light as you need, sooo cool"
She seems to have opened up a bit, forgetting the others for a moment
"Hay do you think there is magic to change you clothing to fit your mood? once I've signed up I'm going to ask."
"Actually I do, now how did that spell go again?" He thinks for a moment "Oh yeah, Disguise" his clothes change to a simple white shirt and blue jeans, an open jacket replacing the cloak on his shoulders. He smirks, "Unfortunately, it just disguises you, doing something like this is easy, but it doesn't change anything your wearing"
Her face lights up with joy, then as he talks she nods
"yerr got ya, light projection, hold on"
She places her hand on her cap and it seems to project a new rim and change color.
"You know any one here, I got dumped here 3 days ago, broke and homeless"
"Besides you, I don't know anyone here" he looks around, muttering under his breath "I hope not anyway"

Lucas pats his bird's head to calm it before returning to writing out on the sheet
When the magic is cast he looks up his eyes glowing blue hmm his magic, it appears to be either pathetic or strange, though it's always possible my divination was blocked, I'm far from an expert in that regard the glow fades from his eyes, as his gaze returns to his paper as he decides on his classes, havering already finished all the other paperwork
He writes down advanced PE care of magical creatures and evocation, but pauses at his final three slots,
The sound of a street urchin's call brings a smirk to Renkai's face as he leans against the wall. The voice sounded so much like his own in his youth... Innocent, Pathetic. Renkai would have just left the child to its own devices if not for what Melody would want. It would survive, or die on its own without him...
Renkai inwardly sighs and turns the corner,
Renkai see's a small girl her back turned, franctically urging her pet to wake up. a limp mangy tail can be seen in the shadows where she is crying
Don't worry we'll find you some food, don't die on me again
"Jeran can, if you don't mind." he says to Jeran. "I gotta go gear up a bit."
"This? Naw. But s'always somethin. You'll get used to it. Probly."
He says as he steps out on stony hooves.
"This? Naw. But s'always somethin. You'll get used to it. Probly."
He says as he steps out on stony hooves.
He turns back to the gargoyle, letting go of his disguised clothing, "Hopefully, I don't want to frighten anyone when I really let loose with what I can do after all. Thanks for getting me here by the way, Mr. Barkley"
Archena is slowly assembling her paperwork.
The new pen technique is helpful and makes it easier to see what she was doing.
She is so concentrated on the paperwork that she doesn't notice anything else going on in the room.
"No problem, kid. I'll see ya around. You idn't the only kid I gotta pick up today. N' good luck."
He winks and jerks his head towards the female he's been talking with before he heads off.
"I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't eat stuff we find here. Are you sure?"
Shoshin blushes, wishing he had his fur at the moment to conceal it. Instead he simply looks at his feet, finding his boots interesting until his blush goes away, then he turns back to Halo and her companion.
"I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't eat stuff we find here. Are you sure?"
you worry too much, besides if they are bad, then mama showed me how to fix ya up in no time.
Kim grabs a handful of berries to eat and gives some to her new friend
Trista takes the berries and looks at them uncertainly.
She looks at them then back at the bush.
Eventually she decides that she should trust her friend and show that she does.
She eats a couple of the berries and offers some to the dog.
It sniffs them and lays down, not taking any, due to either its diet or the berries themselves.
Kevin looks at the middle of the empty room.
He stares for a moment before looking back at Jello on the data pad.
"Sim room, sync recording to data pad Ramos."
He picks jello and the pad up, storing them both.
"Delete recordings on sim memory and end program."
He leaves the room as it reverts back to the blank room with white lines.
He exits the room into the hallway looking slightly panicked and confused.
He traces the wall with a wing tip, hustling to where they direct.
He ends up at the room labeled necromancy, but he doesn't doubt the arrows.
He knocks, a heavy and dull sound.
Hears the knock...
"Come in."
