Krays and Phaez then will head over to the new school, looking for 'Phebe.
::We're here with vittles!:: he says via his bond with Ephebe
"Dark Elf, Come join our table, we are also new here and are currently sharing stories... come tell us of your past..."
"I ended up on the roof, broke the school, met someone very big, got yelled at, and now I'm here."
"I see your a healthy growing dragon." He said as he points his fork at the empty plates.
::Good Morning Phaeze, I am in the cafeteria. What's up?::
Vai nods, happily full. This action causes some of her hair to fall in front of her face, as if it were natural. She brushes it back behind her ear with a few fingers. "Dragons spend alot of calories. Though this is is nothing compared to my sister when she was pregnant."
Vai sees Fei enter the cafeteria and immediately perks up. A little annoyed that he stopped to talk to Kitty before coming to see her, she pouts for a moment before turning back to Salis.
"I'm sure the kitchen staff think we are a nightmare, but they've never said anything to me."
Krays and Phaez then will head over to the new school, looking for 'Phebe.
::We're here with vittles!:: he says via his bond with Ephebe
::Perfect timing, love. I'm in between bouts of nervous parents and just finished a less than delightful conversation with 'Sander.::
Treisdan:
laughing I reply with, "I said tell us of your past, your life before you came to school, not what has happened since you arrived here..."
"Your Artemis sound somewhat similar, the difference is that she had godhood, Grandmother Huntress rejected the gods in order to continue helping those who ask for it."
Balamor stands, heading over to the table a little nervous. "I'll tell you what I can," he tells the human.
she feels concern over the bond
::Is everything ok?::
Treisdan:
"Honestly I don't know the first thing about ships, let along magical airships, so uh, wherever I guess," she said with an apologetic smile."Well, I wouldn't mind a tour of the ship," she said, wanting to spend a little more time, "but I understand if you'd rather do that some other time."
"ah got it, no trouble planned" he then turns to the firebird "and again thanks for your help, I really appriciate it, I'm going to fix the ship now, and then I'm going to go to the headmaster, I'll see you around.. unless you want to join, either way I'm good with it""by all means, my boat is your boat, just let me conduct a quick inspection and follow me" he flies around checking for damage, finding nothing serious and mending and 'make whole-ing' the few damaged areas he then unties the line and flies up to the wheel before it had drifted more than about 15 feet, grinning he carefully lands the boat into the lake before going to the entrance below deck to disarm the traps before he turns back to Raelle and says "what do you want to see first"
he nods "no problem, shoulda known that I guess, well first off, this ship, much like most of the ones designed by humans and gnomes for personal use, is not structurally much different from a standard nautical vessel, you got your wheel, masthead, general boat-y shape, cannons and whatnot, you even have sails, even though spelljammers almost never use them for obvious reasons, even though they work, they're mostly for decoration." he says pointing to each item as he comes to them, walking along heading towards the back of the boat "the main differences you'd be able to really see without already knowing they were there are on the inside, that being the thing that powers it" he opens a door on the raised portion at the back just under where the wheel is "this is my bedroom for when I sleep on the boat" inside there is a fairly well kept, fairly sparse room, the bed is fairly large (somewhere between a king and a queen size) and of moderately high quality material (DC 12? appraisal check to tell about the material) but not in a showy or extravagant way, no gold stitch or anything like that, purely functional is what the entire room seems to say, there is a bench on the right side (oriented to you port side to the boat) with several nick-nacks and half finished projects and papers scattered about.
"I'm sure the kitchen staff think we are a nightmare, but they've never said anything to me."
"At at all you, your some of the best ones here, now the Vampire on table seven makes such a mess."
Mrs Clempp smiles
"Artemis may have had godhood, but she still protected the weak, even as a goddess. she had no peace as a goddess, forever hunting those whom abuse their power for misguided ends. she was a heroine to the people of the country of Greece, and to the countries of Crete and Milos. but she was the one i had intended to compare to Grandmother Huntress. i beleive the two may be transmultiversal equals, the different incarnations of the same being among different worlds. living slightly different experiences." Umbri told Treisdan.
she feels concern over the bond
::Is everything ok?::
::Mostly. Kronos is being pushy. He gets worse when 'Sander is around. 'Sander noticed, and you can guess how that went. It leaves us both on edge. He wants to pretend like I know nothing of his past even though he told me some of it and...ugh. It's just frustrating sometimes.::
"No, Grandmother Huntress is not a heroine, she had been forgotten by her people's, she started as mortal and defended the weak, she rejected peace to do what is right, not what would earn her fame and followers" Treisdan seems irritated that you are comparing her to a goddess
A sudden jet of water shoot about 300' into the air from the center of the lake, falling back down with a crash and spray in the wind
Raelle looked around listening attentively to everything Dave was saying and she was about to say something when she was interrupted by the sudden spray of water.
"What in the world?" The few water droplets that had reached as far as them steamed off of her skin.
Dave having neglected to tie his boat to the dock in favor of showing off a bit, is heavily surprised at the water falling on his boat and being rocked by the small ripples that came as a byproduct of the jet.
"What is it you wish to know," he asks the human who called him over.
Never having been on a boat before, Raelle didn't really know how to balance when it started to rock, even gently, and ended up sprawling on her backside.
"Well, you sure know how to sweep a girl off her feet," she joked, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"what the heck was that" he casts unseen servant and tells it to clean up the water then take the ship to the dock.
Never having been on a boat before, Raelle didn't really know how to balance when it started to rock, even gently, and ended up sprawling on her backside.
"Well, you sure know how to sweep a girl off her feet," she joked, trying to hide her embarrassment.
he chuckles "one of my many talents I'm sure" he offer's her a hand up

"i apologize if i offended you. guess i shouldn't compare a forgotten mortal who should have been worthy of great respect to a minor goddess on a pantheon that was forgotten around 2,000 years ago." Umbri commented.
He leans his staff on the edge of the table, and sits down smiling "I'm Casilkasheyith Dalcorgrim, but you can call me either Casil or Ace for short" He gestures to the other two girls "And who are your two pretty friends?"
he chuckles "one of my many talents I'm sure" he offer's her a hand upNever having been on a boat before, Raelle didn't really know how to balance when it started to rock, even gently, and ended up sprawling on her backside.
"Well, you sure know how to sweep a girl off her feet," she joked, trying to hide her embarrassment.
She hesitated. She'd been planning to stay seated while the boat was moving and hopefully avoid further bruises to her ego. But he was pretty cute so...
She took his hand and scrambled to her feet unsteadily.
"Gods and Goddesses are selfish beings who use mortals to meet their ends, they do not care about any but themselves and they bring calamities to those who offend them"
he looks dubious but contemplative "I kinda doubt it, but I suppose it is always a possibility..."
He leans his staff on the edge of the table, and sits down smiling "I'm Casilkasheyith Dalcorgrim, but you can call me either Casil or Ace for short" He gestures to the other two girls "And who are your two pretty friends?"
"I'd ask her where her manner were, but I've known Ginni long enough to know she never had any," she joked. "I'm Tamina, and that's Morrivan."
"Nice to meet you, Ace," Morrivan said, with a small wave when Tamina introduced her.
She couldn't help but laugh at that.
"Sometimes it seems like the universe has some kind of grudge against your clothes, Fei." :)
"Which is why sabumnim Sunwake saw fit to make a more...durable...uniform for me. It should better weather the hardships we seem to regularly face at Avalon," he says with a nod as he finally spots Vai.
"I will leave you to your lunch, Kitty. May the rest of your day be well." :)
Saying his goodbyes, Fei makes his way over to Vai through the narrow opening of visibility in the crowd. With a smile like the first touch of dawn's warm light on her face, he bows to her fondly.
"Hello." (=^-^=)
He flashes each girl a roguish smile "Pleasure to meet you all. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you three must be the three prettiest girls at the school, yes?"
There are 12 short thudding explosions underwater in the center of the lake, in rapid succession the water rises up each time but not any thing like the 1st water spout , then all is still once more.
he chuckles "one of my many talents I'm sure" he offer's her a hand upNever having been on a boat before, Raelle didn't really know how to balance when it started to rock, even gently, and ended up sprawling on her backside.

he helps her up and says "there you go, I promise that the tour's not long after this, it's kinda a small boat, but if you want, sometimes it helps if someone's there to help you keep your ballance till you get your sea legs," he looks contenttemplateive again "or in this boat, maybe sky legs too... huh"

::He seemed to be doing so well, too. I'm glad my patron isn't pushy. I can't imagine him butting into conversations I have with people. Anyway, here's food:: He says as he walks in with 10 pans of <enter daily special here> He sets his four down, and hugs his wife.
"Phaez was kind enough to help carry over our lunch."
Awaiting a response from the headmaster, Krisilanni looked back at Tyrrin, and could tell that she was very mad, and she was looking directly at him; oh, yeah, his antics really mad her mad. Just to help egg things on, he gave her a toothy grin from his snout, as well as a wave. It was always nice to taunt his enemies.
"May I come back in a bit, headmaster?" he asked, knowing that the headmaster knew what he was up to; he seemed to know a lot. He then got up and intentionally brushed by Tyrrin. "Now tell me what's on your mind," he said with a sneer, ready to hear no end to it, and he was sure all of it would be hilarious and full of defense of the undead.
He flashes each girl a roguish smile "Pleasure to meet you all. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you three must be the three prettiest girls at the school, yes?"
Ginni grinned and Tamina giggled.
"You know, we've been hearing that a lot lately and I have to say, I like the sound of it," she said impishly. "I assure you, good sir, flatter will get you everywhere," she added with a playful wink.

She took his hand and scrambled to her feet unsteadily.
She blushed in spite of herself. "Um, yeah, I guess so. I'm not used to standing on a moving floor," she added, mentally kicking herself for how stupid she sounded.
"Thank you, love. And thank you, too, Phaeze. I really appreciate it. Ooh, enchiladas."
She heartily wolfed down the first pan of today's special.
::Well, Kronos has plans...and I'm not going along with them on the grounds that so help me he has even worse judgement than I do...and it makes him cranky. ::
"Gods and Goddesses are selfish beings who use mortals to meet their ends, they do not care about any but themselves and they bring calamities to those who offend them"

"just as the gods experience selfishness in great amounts, look at the kings and their families. just as the gods encourage their priests to spoil them rotten with tribute and place them upon a central position of focus within their temples."
"so too do kings with the subjects of their nation, expect to be spoiled rotten with tribute and placed upon a central position of focus within their palaces. "
"is a mortal king any different from a god with the exception of species?"
"both are selfish beings whom use mortals to meet their ends and bring calamities to those who offend them."

She took his hand and scrambled to her feet unsteadily.
"don't worry about it, happens to everyone, 'cept constructs, but they cheat" he gives her a wink "you shoulda seen me when I first got on one of these, couldn't make more than about five steps without grabbing on to someone or something, course I was eight or nine but whatever, least you aren't one of the misfortunate few who get sick on these things, here grab my hand and we'll finish the tour," he smiles at her and offers her his hand, purely for support I'm sure... right...
Vai nods, happily full. This action causes some of her hair to fall in front of her face, as if it were natural. She brushes it back behind her ear with a few fingers. "Dragons spend alot of calories. Though this is is nothing compared to my sister when she was pregnant."
Vai sees Fei enter the cafeteria and immediately perks up. A little annoyed that he stopped to talk to Kitty before coming to see her, she pouts for a moment before turning back to Salis.
"I'm sure the kitchen staff think we are a nightmare, but they've never said anything to me."
"That they possibly do." Salis responds with a smile.
meanwhile down at the infirmary...
Lang accompanies Chara to the infirmary the whole time avoiding saying he's sorry to many times.
hoping that someone is there. he opens the door for her
Hello? anyone here? we could use a little help.
Saying his goodbyes, Fei makes his way over to Vai through the narrow opening of visibility in the crowd. With a smile like the first touch of dawn's warm light on her face, he bows to her fondly.
"Hello." (=^-^=)
Vai couldn't stay mad at that smile, and broke into a smile of her own. "Good afternoon Fei." No one could resist that smile. she thinks. "How was your swim?" she adds, her smile widening at his wet apparel.
Vai had momentarily forgotten that Salis was also present, and half-jumped when she remembered. "Sorry Salis, where are my manners. This is Fei, he's um... my boyfriend. Fei, this is Salis. He's going to be teaching magical theory."
Awaiting a response from the headmaster, Krisilanni looked back at Tyrrin, and could tell that she was very mad, and she was looking directly at him; oh, yeah, his antics really mad her mad. Just to help egg things on, he gave her a toothy grin from his snout, as well as a wave. It was always nice to taunt his enemies.

"Now tell me what's on your mind," he said with a sneer, ready to hear no end to it, and he was sure all of it would be hilarious and full of defense of the undead.
Tyrrin swallows her anger. She had been shaking from fury, but she remembers the lessons her mother taught her. Never let your emotions show. Losing your temper was the surest way to lose respect. Breathe deep. Answer calmly. "I was just thinking that you aren't really worth my time, I have some business with the Headmaster. Thank you." she stepped inside Ryo's office and quickly pulled the door closed behind her. "My apologies you had to see that, Headmaster."
"don't worry about it, happens to everyone, 'cept constructs, but they cheat" he gives her a wink "you shoulda seen me when I first got on one of these, couldn't make more than about five steps without grabbing on to someone or something, course I was eight or nine but whatever, least you aren't one of the misfortunate few who get sick on these things, here grab my hand and we'll finish the tour," he smiles at her and offers her his hand, purely for support I'm sure... right...
"Uh, okay," she said, still blushing but also smiling as she took his hand. "I don't think the movement is any worse than navigating air currents, but I'm not at all used to it while standing rather than flying."
"Don't leave him permanently wounded, Tyrrin, he hasn't even met Keme yet."
"You may take a moment if you need too."
