As Vai floats above the crowd, she starts to feel like she could feel her own wings, almost as if they were curled up inside her. Don't resist it. That's what Aananda said. Very slowly, Vai allows her wings to spring free, still inside the illusory wings. A smile spreads on her face as she sees other students doing aerial tricks. She tentatively attempts a few swoops, almost crashing into Nasima on the way past. A little worried someone will see her, Vai sinks back to the ground and pulls her wings back in, the clothes folding back over.
Vakkler watches the aerial shenanigans, looking irritated. "Very disruptive. I don't know why it's being allowed."
"Come on! You need to get airborne before the performance is over!" Michael says as he hugs Kitty tightly and flies back up into the air.
She sighed. And things had been going so well too.
"Don't go thinking that I'm a nice person or I was coerced or that there were mitigating circumstances. I was tricked, but that's not the same thing. I'll tell you later if you want. Just don't go expecting to like what you hear," she said sullenly.
He smiles
"I'll make my own judgements, Nala. We have a clean slate, you and I, as I said what's done is done. I'm not asking for you to justify your actions, I'm just concerned about an enemy that may surface, that's all."
"Come on! You need to get airborne before the performance is over!" Michael says as he hugs Kitty tightly and flies back up into the air.
Kitty shrieked a little in surprise and then laughed in delight. "Wow, this is the best. I never knew flying was so much fun!"

Nala looked confused. She had no idea what to make of this guy. He didn't do anything like she expected. She was usually so good at predicting behavior, but right now she was totally off balance.
He chuckles at her confusion and gives her hand a gentle squeeze.

She blushed a little bit, but didn't pull her hand away.
Saffire flies around Kitty and Michael, happy that they could now hunt the birds with him!
She's made comments about monsters in the school and such, so I thought maybe she'd have a problem with him being one of them :P
Kitty shrieked a little in surprise and then laughed in delight. "Wow, this is the best. I never knew flying was so much fun!"
An idea floats through Michael's mind, and he smiles. Why hadn't he thought of it before?
"Flying is pretty cool, huh?" He replies.

"Flying is pretty cool, huh?" He replies.
"Definitely. I wish we could do this every day!" she said, laughing at Saffire as he pounced on another illusion. "And Saffire is already getting so much better at flying from just a little practice."
Filne looks at the cage then back at the teacher.
"I cant turn him back at this moment. Magic is not a switch you know. Anyways whats so bad about being a frog, he eats a fly or two. Personally I think your making to much about it. If he kept on he could have crashed into someone or into an object which would have caused an injury to himself or others. Being turned into a frog is better then a broken neck in my book. Anyways look around."
A number of flying students had quickly stopped being so reckless, more then a few glancing at the elven teacher.
"I got plenty of room in here and they know it. I think results speak for themselves."
Vakkler scowls. "First, a broken neck is actually much more effective as a deterrent than any enchantment. Second, casting any spell upon a student you cannot immediately remove is stupid and reckless. Third, as a new teacher, you should not presume to understand how this school works. Fourth, any injuries could be near-instantly dispelled, whereas this spell apparently cannot be. Fifth, results do not speak for themselves when the methods are the problem. Sixth, speaking in this manner to a pair of teachers who've been around much longer than yourself is unwise. Seventh, being transformed into a frog is equivalent to being chained to a wall. Eighth, the student risks losing his sentience while a frog, if you're using the spell I think you're using, and even kobold court would regard that as a cruel and unusual punishment. And that's a very rare verdict in kobold court. Ninth, the odds of breaking a neck are very low. And tenth, do not think to know more than I do of discipline."
Miss Jones glared at Filne disapprovingly.
"Professor Relkav is entirely correct. Hand over that cage at once so that I can take Bradley to the first aid tent. Hopefully they have a scroll or two of break enchantment on hand. Honestly, you're not fit to be an educator. A hold person would have been more than sufficient. Esepcially on Bradley."
Vakkler seems a bit disoriented, as if he isn't used to any fellow teachers agreeing with him. Then he shrugs and nods.
"I doubt if Mr.Relkav is correct on a number of things. But more to the point you have no spellcaster I am aware of that can break thru my spells. He will remain a frog for a while, he is in no danger of anything. This little cage dispite appearances is immune to nearly all forms of damage or tampering. Next time I will simply shrink him, for now he is a frog. By the time he has to go to bed he will be restored. I promise."
Filne shook his head.
"Honestly you have a school full of students with exceptional abilities but you treat them as if normal methods will be effective. Tell me really how many repeat offenders do you have, have your so called punishments stopped them, or better yet do they even respect you or rather who backs you."
He makes it a point to look at the kobold.
"After the event is over I will be sure to speak to the Headmaster so he can clearify the way things are done for me. I suggest you stop wasting your time on me and pay attention to your duties."
He nods over to some pack members who seem to be smuggling something alive deeper into the crowd. They spot the elf looking and shuffle along faster. Filne lets a bemused look creep on to his face, he was not going to do anything about those students or what they were bring.
Vakkler seems close to exploding. He spends a long moment struggling with himself.
Finally, he nods. "Alright, Filne. I don't know what arrangement you have with the Headmaster, so I've no right to criticize your methods based off what little I know of you. Your apparent lack of a working brain is doubtless known to the Headmaster, and I'm sure he has his reasons. Perhaps he wished to boost my self esteem."
He bows to Ms. Jones. "I suggest we contact the Headmaster after the concert. Good day."
He turns and strides over to the students. The kobold reaches up and taps the nearest one on the shoulder.
"Come, you three. My silver bolts need polishing. Afterward, you can explain what you hoped to accomplish. Five thousand times. On the chalkboard."
"But more to the point you have no spellcaster I am aware of that can break thru my spells.

Filne cast a quick spell on the frog, he seems to stare at nothing for a moment.
"No wonder they have townsfolk come knocking. Does anyone know how to keep a secret around here anymore. How I miss the good old days, the young take so much for granted. Touchy about every little thing that does not matter then brushing off important stuff, I remember when......."
He keeps mumbling to himself as he goes back to his rounds. Letting the cage dangle from his hand. He points to another student who was picking on a younger student. Lefting the cage as a warning.

Sits for about 3/4 of a second through Fly Free's performance, and heads back to his room, muttering about loud not equaling good, and lamenting tastes of the newer generations...

Vakkler decides he doesn't dislike this new teacher, and wishes he could follow the man's example.
Jeran's hands gripped the two troublemakers tightly on the back of their necks, allowing their would-be prey to get away. Jaiye and Albin, of course.
"What part of don't cause trouble cause I want to enjoy the concert did you two losers not understand?" he growled. He dragged them back to the rest of the group and shoved them away. "Stay. I'll come up with a suitable punishment later."
Hands out water bottles to some dehydrated students that were sent to the First Aid station.

"This isn't about school discipline, Professor. It's Pack business. It doesn't concern you."
Jim can be vaguely seen carrying sound equipment in preparation for Gaelvin's performance. once they are in place, he takes off, to resume his position manning the lights.
"So, who are you?" Alton asks. "Haven't really seen you around. I'm Alton."
"This isn't about school discipline, Professor. It's Pack business. It doesn't concern you."Vakkler scowls. "Excuse me, Darkclaw. I handle the discipline.

Vakkler draws himself to his full three-foot-three-inches height. "All occurring in my school concerns me, Darkclaw. I was going to lead those two to detention. If it's so important that they stay, all three of you can join me at slurk duty tomorrow night. The slurks are settled down, so I think Albin is ready to come back, and he might fare better with a few 'friends'."

"I'm a new student. My names Jim. Jim Rivets. The reason you haven't seen me around is because I only just got here yesterday."
"Well, that explains it. Nice to meet you, Jim. How are you liking Avalon so far? The guy on stage doesn't like he needs help with showy effects, so we've got a few minutes to talk."
"Yeah, you've got a point. Avalon's not too bad. I've already gotten to meet a few students, and everyone seems pretty nice here. As well, it seems really exciting. Do things like what happened yesterday with the Tech-Zombies happen often?"
"This isn't about school discipline, Professor. It's Pack business. It doesn't concern you."Vakkler scowls. "Excuse me, Darkclaw. I handle the discipline. You, as a student, do not."Jeran's hands gripped the two troublemakers tightly on the back of their necks, allowing their would-be prey to get away. Jaiye and Albin, of course.

Jeran smiled. Actually this worked out well. Albin might panic and do something stupid if he had to face the slurks alone. With Jaiye and himself there, the wererat should be able to rebuild some of his lost confidence which would hopefully lead to less of these stupid stunts.
"I'm looking forward to it, Professor. We'll be sure to be there on time," he growled, still smiling.
Jeran smiled.
