At the sudden cessation of violence, the stone in 'Sima's forehead returns to its normal, clear, mostly unremarkable state. There is a shift in her aura and she turns from where Fei and Enre are talking to face Gustav again. "I...excited? What? Guh. I hate fighting. Hate it when they do this. War and guns and blah blah blah. So anyway you never answered my question; are you a merchant? A tradesman?"
The charged sort of vibe around Nasima is gone completely. There is another boom of thunder, very far away, and a faint whiff of burned ozone, as from a lightning strike, but it is quickly whisked away by the school's HVAC.
"Buh?" Gustav said, unnerved by the sudden change in the girl. He shook his head. "Uh, I'm a crafter. A sculptor. I do stone statues and things. But I also want to do leatherworking, lumber, woodworking, all kinds of stuff." he said slowly, as if thinking about it. Gustav grinned his confident grin again. "I make art." he said, pride in his voice.
Enre turns to look at the person who asked him something "They were throwing people around and bothering the cooks. I told them to stop and the attacked." He shrugs "Guess they thought they could take me, after I punched that one." Enre points at the one who attacked him first "This pink stuff surrounded them."
Fei nods.
"It is good that this barrier was erected then, though I am curious as to who did so," as he looks around the cafeteria. He sees Nasima speaking with the new student from yesterday in the dorm halls...Gustav.
'Sima sees Fei and waves. "Hi Fei! How are you?!"
She turns back to Gustav, giving him a warm smile. "Aww, that's great! I love all that stuff. I had some music and some dance and some other things when I was growing up, 'cos I had to, but I never really got into it much, you know? Never took it super serious. So how is the art program here? I...I don't think I've ever taken any of those classes. Maybe I should."
"Yet another day I'll gladly go unnoticed." Michael tells Kitty as he sees the Lycans acting up.
"..."
"Well, I haven't taken my first class yet!" Gustav said sheepishly, turning back to breakfast. Oh, right. He'd already finished. Time for thirds, then. Gustav got up from the table. "Pardon me, I'm going for some more food." he said politely.
"Yet another day I'll gladly go unnoticed." Michael tells Kitty as he sees the Lycans acting up.
Fei bows to Nasima when she waves.
"Is this barrier airtight? These two could suffocate if - oh my" he states with some concern as the enclosed creatures suddenly break free.
"And now I can see you." Gustav said, turning around as he saw the beast-men escape the confinement of the ectoplasmic bubble. "Say goodnight, hairy ones." Gustav muttered. "Try again when you've learned to be polite."
Seeing them close to one of the students, Gustav began patting his hands together, as if he was making a snowball. A shimmering ball of pink translucent material began growing between his hands until it was larger than his head. Gustav threw it at the floor under one of the were-creatures.
"And for my next trick, something you've seen before." Gustav said as he encased them inside a Wall of Ectoplasm again. A hemispherical dome rose above the two lycans.
Finished, Gustav turned back to the deli section.

Fei evades the weregorilla's arms. Realizing that trying to talk to him in these conditions with other students around would be too risky, he (regrettably) resorts to more immediate action.
Enre moves out the way of the first attack to get into the way of the other. Moving he grabs the lycans arm before putting him in a hold.
The Lycans didn't even notice the concussion blasts, although for now the wall of ectoplasm is at least keeping the fight from spilling over to the other students.

Jim, realizing what time it is, decides to get a quick bite to eat, ready to start his first day of classes. He shall go to the cafeteria.
Gustav casually returned to his seat with another helping of breakfast. "So, Nasima." he said, "What classes are you taking now? I think I have Meditation first, then..uh, then..." he fumbled with the scroll map in his shirt.
After his morning meditation and arcane study, Phaezeriel concentrates briefly on The Chainstaff and erects his customary Personal Barred Mind. He then proceeds to breakfast and his first day of classes.
Stopping near the doorway, he takes a moment to figure out what is going on in the dining hall.
This school is a bit more rowdy than I suspected, he thinks, watching the wrestling match in the ectoplasmic dome.
Noting that another one of the pink barriers is in place, Fei looks at the weretiger while the weregorilla is still reeling on the ground.
"I do not know why you are behaving like this, but you need to stop. We do not wish to hurt you..."
Heads to Nala's to see if she'd like to have breakfast with him.
Noticing Nasima and Gustav sitting at a table, Phaezeriel gets his breakfast and heads that way.
Mind if I join you this morning?
"Breakfast sounds like a great idea....I just need a quick shower first," she said, shifting back to human and heading for the bathroom. "I can meet you there if you want to go eat right away."
"I'll go on ahead and warn them we're coming. Hopefully they'll have the food out by the time you arrive, my love." He morphs into human form, and give her a kiss, then shifts back. He casts a status on her, like it's habit.
"Enjoy your shower, see you in a bit!"He grabs his staff, and goes to head out the door...then remembers the last time they were seperated.
"You know what, I think I'll wait for you. It doesn't take them that long."
Heads to Nala's to see if she'd like to have breakfast with him.
Nala looks sleepy and rumpled as she answered her door still wearing her ruffled nightgown.
"Wha? 's early," she mumbled sleepily, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
As he passes the cafeteria, he senses active lycans...he spawns a clone to go investigate, while he continues on to Nala's.
Vakkler approaches the cafeteria, growling. "What's this ruckus? Somebody's going to regret being born..."
Smiles at Nala
"Early? No, my dear, it's time for breakfast...just thought I'd enjoy it more if you were there. Don't you have classes today?"
"Well, maybe we wish to hurt you," the weretiger growled as the weregorilla stood there with a stupid look on his face.
Fei adjusts his stance slightly.
"We are all here to learn how to control our abilities, without the fear of others who would do us harm...regardless of what our abilities are."
"Why would you bring that violence here?"
"Breakfast sounds like a great idea....I just need a quick shower first," she said, shifting back to human and heading for the bathroom. "I can meet you there if you want to go eat right away."
"I'll go on ahead and warn them we're coming. Hopefully they'll have the food out by the time you arrive, my love." He morphs into human form, and give her a kiss, then shifts back. He casts a status on her, like it's habit.
"Enjoy your shower, see you in a bit!"
He grabs his staff, and goes to head out the door...then remembers the last time they were seperated.
"You know what, I think I'll wait for you. It doesn't take them that long."
She grimaced. "Yeah, Madness is probably plotting some horrible vengeance."
"Alright, I'll hurry. Unless you want to join me in the shower," she said with a wink and ducked into the bathroom.
Smiles at Nala
"Early? No, my dear, it's time for breakfast...just thought I'd enjoy it more if you were there. Don't you have classes today?"
She mumbled something incoherent and yawned.
"Sorry. I stopped going to breakfast a while ago. I enjoy the extra sleep and the not getting food 'accidentally' smeared on me.....gi' me a few minutes to get ready."
Enre grins after hearing the weretiger speak "Well than the only rule is the strong rule? Well guess what it seems you are not as strong as you think you are." After saying this Enre tighten his hold on the weretiger until he can hear odd noises before saying to the other guy "He is not getting out. Have fun if you want."
"We don't care about your stupid rules. There's only one rule that matters. The strong rule," Rintol growled as he tried to squirm out of Enre's grasp.
"No - physical might is irrelevant. There is always someone stronger than you," he replies simply, then looks at the weregorilla as he comes back to his senses.
"This can end with no further harm to anyone...if you wish it. That choice is yours."
Ryuzo's eyes glaze over for a sec
"On second thought, the Lycans are tearing up the cafeteria. Why don't I just go get us boxes and bring em back. See ya in a bit!"
Gustav paused in his eating. "If it's not one thing...." he muttered. "Excuse me." he said to Nasima, getting up. Gustav walked over to the pink dome on one side of the cafeteria. He erected another Force Screen, just in case.
"Let's see, were-beasts, were-beasts, what to do?" Gustav muttered thoughtfully, one hand on his chin. He stood before the pink-translucent dome. "What hurts lycanthropes but not regular people? " He snapped his fingers. "Silver!" he realized. Gustav placed both hands on the ectoplasmic dome, and, closing his eyes, concentrated.
The interior quarter-inch of the ectoplasmic dome, as well as the top quarter-inch of the stone floor underneath, instantaneously turned to silver.
With a racking sound, the transformed silver layer exploded, making spherical lumps appear in the pinkish wall, and the silver became floating silver dust particles within the ectoplasmic dome. The sound was heard throughout the cafeteria. Gustav opened his eyes in alarm. "Oops." he said, and quickly re-manifested Wall of Ectoplasm again to cover up any holes in the dome.
Not really getting an answer, Phaezeriel settles to a chair, lays his staff across the table, and with a look around the dining hall, begins eating his breakfast.
The second swing connects with Fei's face - and the weregorilla's momentum just stops upon contact, overbalancing him so the other two swings go wide as he tries to maintain his balance.
Fei is about to counter when the inside of the dome turns a silvery color...then explodes all around them.
Seeing that the two lycanthropes are effectively incapacitated, he quickly knocks the weregorilla out (as much to ease his suffering as to render him more manageable). He then turns his attention to the dome.
"DISMISS THIS BARRIER! THE LYCANTHROPES NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY!!" He yells in a curiously powerful and commanding voice (for him, anyway).
Vai wandered down the halls, glad to be back in her regular school uniform, instead of the dress. At least her shoulders were covered now.
As she approaches the cafeteria, she hears an explosion which brings her up short. Another attack? She starts flexing her hands again, she can feel the claws ready to spring to action. She waits a good minute, waiting to see if she can hear more explosions.
After waiting a couple of moments and getting no answer, he looks at Enre.
"Guard your eyes," he says as he drops into a different stance and sharply draws in a breath.
Channeling the kinetic energy from the weregorilla's strike and the explosion to augment his kung, he strikes the wall at a weak point and makes his own opening.
Enre says "No idea what you are going to do but guessing it might be loud and bright. I can get us out of this if you want without any of that. If not go ahead with what you were going to do." He watches Fei as he goes into his stance wondering what it is.

As part of the dome collapses into dust, the young monk replies, "I just did not want you to get 'pink eye'," bowing quickly to him as he grabs the weregorilla and hauls him out of the dome. (^.^)
