"Oh great! I love concerts! And dancing!" Though she has no dancing skill per se, Nasima's natural grace as a child of both royalty and the sky make her at least pleasing to watch, even if her movements are pretty much just random. "I'd love to see you dance. I'm sure anyone would! Who needs rehearsal? You just move, right? C'mon c'mon we'll practice right now!" She jumps up and goes over to the little boombox on her desk, which is completely fried by lightning. "Ah-heh. Er, oops! Ephebe I don't suppose you can do the...gun thing...with the make whole, fixing stuff thing?"
"Yeah, sure no problem. And then give me minute to change, 'kay? Battle clothes and ballet...well, it works better than you'd expect since most of my fighting style is based off of dance, but it's be better in practice clothes."
She quickly shot the boombox, restoring it to its former working condition and changed into tights and a leotard, sitting on the floor to quickly tie on her tow shoes.
"Okay, all ready."
"B-but you need to stay too so you can learn alchemy. It's not right! They shouldn't just kick you out. They let that student council president stay even after she took control of several other students, and the rumors say she tried to hurt one of them. If she gets to stay, you should too!"
"But i-if they don't...then I'll come and visit you on all my breaks, okay? And I'll write every day.." she had to stop talking because the tears were coming too fast.
"Please don't cry, because if you do then I will and Saffire will think it's his fault and we can't let that happen!" Michael goes over and hugs Kitty tightly, blinking fast. "Look, I'm sorry I brought it up, okay? It's just that I've been wanting to leave for so long, and now that I might I don't want to go, and it's a little confusing."

Kitty laughed through her tears as she buried her face against his shoulder for comfort.
"I don't want you to go either. I promise you, I won't give up on you, no matter what happens, okay? And if you end up having to leave I'll start looking for someone closer to where you are who can teach me about caring for animals. But I still hope that you can stay."
"Hahaha! I think I'm finally getting to like that caster gun thing of yours. It still freaks me out to fix stuff or change stuff by shooting it, but boy that's handy. Okay! Music! Dancing! *giggle*"

Ephebe stretched out first and then started to laugh and relax as she danced. This was something that always made sense to her.
"But I still hope that you can stay."
"I'll bring up the student body president then, and try my best to stay. No stalking animal caretakers just to be close to me though, okay?"

"Awww, but I'd be good at it...ninja training," she said with a wink and a weak smile. But still, it was a smile, and it looked like her positive outlook was starting to reassert itself.
"Yes, it would be, but stalking someone who knows a lot about animals can't be a good thing. I mean, they probably know the signs that they are being stalked, and I would hate to have to explain to the neighbors why you were following the crazy cat lady around town."
@Aananda "So, what's the problem with this energy supply that requires it be taken apart?"

"Well, aside from being massively damaged, they are both too vulnerable to attack, and not nearly efficient enough to meet the power needs of the school."
"I see."

Nasima's eyes get wide as she watches her friend's fluid movement and unique style unfold. "Oh hey Ephebe you're fanTAStic! OMG! Look at you go!"

Ephebe laughed happily. "Thanks. I've always loved to dance. I've been taking lessons since I was six. Twenty years of practice definitely doesn't hurt."
She came to a stop and started to do her cool down.
"Thanks, Sima. I really needed that. Some time to dance just because I love to. I'm not feeling nearly so nervous now."
"Want to help me stitch sequins onto my costume?" she asked, grinning. "It's not going to be a quick process."
"Sure! I actually know a bit of sewing. Hand me somethin' easy and I can knock it out for ya."
Once they're able to agree on the plans for the new generators and their containment fields, Aananda is going to leave the construction up to Solivala so she can head back to her lab and work on rebooting her security system.
"Sure! I actually know a bit of sewing. Hand me somethin' easy and I can knock it out for ya."
"Great!" Ephebe pulls out a box of colored sequins and an iridescent white body suit and details how she wants to make flame patterns on it with blue, green, and purple sequins, and the two girls get to work.
Once Jim is done with the disassembly, Aananda will send him to the Headmaster's office to get officially enrolled before she leaves the sub-basement for her lab.

Kitty giggled. "Back in my hometown I was the crazy cat lady. It started with an assignment to observe the feral cats so I could learn how they stalked their prey. Which was a little traumatic since they mostly hunted rats and my folks had just made me get rid of the pet rat I'd been hiding from them...they said it was worse than when I decided to keep pet crickets...and well, the poor kitty-cats were just so pathetic having to live out in the cold like that so I started sneaking them fish and then I had a whole bunch of them that would follow me around everywhere....which ended up leading to this huge lecture about how I was supposed to observe the cats not adopt them. After I dug out the koi pond to make more room because the koi seemed so...I don't know it's hard to describe fish emotions, but kinda sad from being all cooped up like that...anyways after that I was forbidden to have any more contact with animals because it was 'bad for my training.' And also because my mom found the pet spider I'd been hiding in my sock drawer. That didn't really help either."
Gaelvin sits backstage tuning his guitar, more a force of habit then from any need when it came to Keth. He went thru the songs he intended to play along with the effects he would call to enhance the performance. He thought he would start off with a dragon song of flight, not that the students would know it was a dragonsong. Some how that made it more fun, strange world to hate all dragons and not just those that deserved it.
"Oh well I never was one to pass up breaking misconceptions."
He said to no one.
Heads to the basement and pokes around the stage area, making sure everything in on the up n up, while waiting for Ephebe and Alton to arrive.
Glammers his gi to look like something nice, and heads to pick up Nala, knocking on her door...
Glammers his gi to look like something nice, and heads to pick up Nala, knocking on her door...
Nala answers the door looking like a fashion plate, in an off the shoulder aqua colored knit dress.
"Hmmph. Well, you're prompt, I'll give you that. And your fashion sense isn't entirely awful. Come on, let's go," she said abruptly.
Ephebe squiggled into her costume, and slipped on a pair of practice shoes. Her hair was slicked back with lots of gel and held in place by a wide headband decorated to match the outfit. Once she had the costume on she went to work with the glitter, continuing the patterns from the fabric across her skin. Once she was satisfied with the results she shrugged on a short purple robe since the costume was a bit more revealing than she was comfortable with off stage given how tightly it clung to her, and slung her toes shoes over her shoulder.
"Oh, no, I can't do this, I can't do this. We're not ready. We need more rehearsal. Why didn't we start with smaller performances? What were we thinking? There's no way that I can do this..."
He laughed and hugged Fieri as she went into total meltdown mode.
"You're going to be fine. Just take a breath. You can absolutely do this."
Jim, not needing to get ready, really, is already at the concert hall, helping set up anything if necessary. Otherwise, standing in the back.
A pocket watch walks around with a clipboard in one hand, a headset with mike, and what appears to be a horse whip in the other hand. It seems to be making rounds backstage and checking the equipment. It spots Jim doing nothing for a moment and cracks its whip on the back of his head some how appearing on his shoulder. It points towards something near by then just as suddenly disappears ending up back on the floor walking away. Sparing a moment to point two of its metal fingers towards where you guess a normal person would have eyes on its face then back towards Jim, an unmistakeable "I'm watching you" sign.
"Oh, no, I can't do this, I can't do this. We're not ready. We need more rehearsal. Why didn't we start with smaller performances? What were we thinking? There's no way that I can do this..."
"Oh calm down already. It's like you haven't even figured out this isn't a Battle of the Bands or something." Kam says as hewalks by. "I mean, come on, I've got more to worry about than you. You should see some the protections Taron wove around me."

"I mean, come on, I've got more to worry about than you. You should see some the protections Taron wove around me."
He hands her a paper bag. "Here you go, use this. No passing out this time."
He shrugged. "She's always like this...although I do have to really thank you for accelerating her nerves so I've had to deal with this for the last few days...which gives me so much time to think about how to really show my gratitude," he said with an insincere smile.
"Hey now," Kam says defensively, holding his hands up. "None of this was my idea. Just keep whatever thanks you have planned on Taron and his side of the room, okay?"
"Heh, thanks. You clean up pretty good too", he says with a wink.
"Sure. Hope we get decent seats."

Alton, in a red suit with a red-with-gold-trim vest on underneath, smiles when he sees her and bows, handing her a bouquet of pale purple flowers.
"You're looking quite beautiful tonight. I think purple and red will compliment each other nicely."

"Um, thanks," she said uncertainly, not quite sure what to do with the flowers. "Sima was a big help with getting the costume ready. I just hope the performance goes well, even with the lack of rehearsals," [i]she added with a nervous smile.
