"But I am being good!" she protested.
"Besides, these ones don't look so yummy. Especially not after that last trip to the infirmary," she said making a face.
"Hello young man. The device proper is complete, though it is too heavy for me to lift alone, and it's too magically sensitive to move with magic. I was going to mount and ensure it was powered this evening before the sun sets, so that we might make use of it tonight. It is quite heavy, so the more hands, the better. Your name is?" Tyrrin had perked up significantly. She was getting excited about finishing the telescope.
I'm Adon. I'll help as much as i can. great to do something... I haven't been able to do much since o got here. I can't wait until the fencing club starts. After I'm done helping with this, I'm going to ask the club leader when it starts.
Dave looks to see what Gini was doing that wasn't good "sorry, about the name thing, but I suppose getting out of trouble is a decent conciliation prize,"

"Ginni's fine," she said, noticing his look. "Tamina reminds her every few minutes out of habit. The beginning of the term is tough. She'll get better the longer she's here. But she's been without any treatments at all for the whole summer, and apparently meditation alone just isn't enough."

"I don't look yummy? I'm hurt, but it is ok. I will be content not being fawned over by all." He smiled to Ginni. "It is good to meet each of you I have just arrived here today so I don't quiet know anyone."

Gareth was having an absolutely wonderful time wandering around the school. New people meant new languages, and new languages meant listening to things people thought he couldn't understand. Some things he knew better to listen too, like the pair of girls going on about certain things they liked to cover guys in(a waste of perfectly good chocolate syrup, if you wanted his opinion), but other things were just really interesting.

"hmm, I'd offer to help but I doubt there is anything I could do that hasn't already been tried.." he looks.. lost. frustrated. he shakes his head to clear it just in time to hear Dom complain about his lack of yummy-ness and laughs "we can't all be this awesome my new friend, don't worry, I'm reasonably sure you would look plenty yummy if you weren't being compared to me and Ace"

But she's been without any treatments at all for the whole summer, and apparently meditation alone just isn't enough."
"No, no, not looking yummy is a good thing!" she said hastily, looking to Tamina for backup.
"Ginni is part succubus," she explained. "And the thing she's here to learn to get control of is an unfortunate tendency to eat souls. The hunger can get quite intense at times. Sometimes she slips up and we have to take her to the infirmary so they can make her vomit up the soul she ate so they can put it back in its proper body. And...well....the more sins you demonstrate the yummier your soul looks to her. She finds pride especially delicious," she finished dryly.
"She finds pride especially delicious,"
Tybal apparently finding no one in the Sim room finds a comfy control chair to curl up and take a cat nap in scribbling out a quick note asking the next person who can work the thing to wake him up and give him a tutorial.
What did that girl just say? Ardiente goes sheet white when Tamina mentions that Ginni is part fiend. He coughs slightly, which is a bit gross because his mouth of full of food at that moment, and some of it lands on his plate.
"what I was joking...it's this thing I do with the words that make people laugh... I'm not doing as good as I usually do at that..heh"

"You okay there Ardiente?"
"did it go down the wrong tube or whatnot"
"Ah I see. That explains a lot. I try not to be too prideful, but a bit of pride in ones self is a good thing to have. So I guess my soul wouldn't be the greatest treat. I could be wrong though. I never have had any one comment on the taste of my soul before."
Looking to Dave he responds. "Not sure that being prideful is a great was of joking, but what ever works. Myself I prefer just being myself and making music, however I have never had any long term friends out side of my troupe which was more like family."

"The joke in that was that I didn't mean what was being said... I do realize that pride is my main weakness and I am trying to fix that in myself"
Dave then has to resist the urge to sing'oh lord I'm trying to be humble' his mouth turns up at the edges, at the thought of doing so.
"You grew up with a travelling troupe, Dom? That sounds fascinating," she said a bit wistfully. "I'd love to hear about some of the places you've seen."
Dave listens intently to see if Dom tells any of his stories.
Tybalt emerges from his new room in a newly adapted and imbelished blue and green striped uniform "Well that was fun. Didn't I hear something about a SIM room? Guess I'll find out walls don't fail meow!" After a short traveling montage he arrives at the sim room "Anyone here?"
The SIM ROOM Greeting pops up and then fades away, behind it stands a 18' tall Woman shaped Construct, Holding a large GUN sword, she is just showing out a tiny thing that zips away. "And tell your uncle SIM4 needs the magic buffers reset"
She see you can comes over, smiling at you she says,
"Hello Tybalt Baneko, I am Rosa Luminass the PE teacher at the school, Welcome to the SIM rooms, now how can I help you today?"
"It is a hard road, but everyone walks it. May you find balance. As well as use all."
Everyone else is just fine that she might eat souls?! Well, better put on a brave face. "Yeah, just trying to eat and breathe at the same time, you know how it is."

Tybalt wakes up from the chair with a start just in time to see the small thing zip away "BUG!" "Hunh? Oh hi there sorry instinct. I was just wondering how this place works and if it could simulate something for me to hunt and stalk for a while feeling kind of pent up."
Dave raises one eyebrow at him but doesn't contradict him "it happens I guess"
he then turns to Dom, "I'm sorry was that directed at me, I got a bit distracted"
"Most the places I have been have been smaller villages but The few cities I have been in have been busy places. there markets over flowing with citizen of all shapes and sizes. You meet all types of people, but towns people seem to always would keep a watchful eye on anyone they didn't know. I can understand why since I have heard tells of thieves stealing for any unwary soul. So my travels where not always full of happy music but I have always had my family."
Dave looks to him wistfully "that must be nice, having people you know you can always trust and depend on...yeah..."
"That would be correct," Balamor told the man, pulling out the coin.
Trying very hard to go unnoticed, Gareth grabs a bowl of chicken and dumplings and sits next to the first person he notices: Ardiente.
Despite his apparent focus on his meal, it's pretty obvious he's trying to listen to any and all conversations unnoticed.
Reed filled out the forms, "Knowing more of nature and religion is always good."
"It is. One can not do everything alone. This is the first time I have been away from them for a prolonged amount of time. So I find myself in strange surroundings now. I have decided since I am hear I will try and create a group of friends something I have never really had to hold me up." He talked of it this like it was something he had been wanting a long time.

"Well, that's something I can relate to. I spent all my time at home learning how to be the next Speaker. It's nice to finally have friends my own age. Who I don't always have to be diplomatic around."
"I will be happy to be one of those friends"
"Speaker? what does that entail?"
Tybalt wakes up from the chair with a start just in time to see the small thing zip away "BUG!" "Hunh? Oh hi there sorry instinct. I was just wondering how this place works and if it could simulate something for me to hunt and stalk for a while feeling kind of pent up."
Rosa nods
"Lets take you into SIMROOM 8 this way"
She leads to a large door way,
"SIMMIND load ALMIRON Forest, 'Hunt' with faths"
The door opens in you step into a open woodland with a small hut in front of you, A sign in front of the hut says North, South, east and west with arrows pointing.
"To the south you will find simple pray animals, such a Deer, to the east, there are stronger try, Finnish Bison and the like, to the west, The odd brandeshanch and Large Rat nest and to the north great bears, wolfs, half Demon Liders and the like. Other things as well lay in all paths, so what would you like."
"Be glad to have counted among them. Speaker I have not heard of that and would be over joyed to hear about it." He takes a seat and hopes to hear her story.
"Lets stick with whats behind door number south while I get used to this."
rosa nods and the space changes
“happy hunting if you need me just call, i moniter all the sims ”
with that rosa teps out of the sim and is gone.
Lang is happy to hear that dave isn't really upset to much at him.
You know Sun I went to the Sim room thing and theyprovided me a great simulation of the training circles just like back home.
Sun looks at him like "yeah I knew that"
anyway, I was given this disk thing and some guy showed me a candy shop. well anyway I didn't buy anything since i didn't have any money but he gave me this bag of candy
Sun looks at lang like "Yeah? Now I didn't know that"
So what are you going to do with that bag?
Sun asks
you certainly do not need that much candy. and I would not be much of mentor if i didn't see to it that you don't over indulge in such things
Sun hold out his hand expecting Lang to give him the bag
Lang reluctantly hands Sun the bag but not before he takes a piece of hard candy.
Hey by the way where have you been?
Sun tells Lang of the trip to the cafeteria but he left when it started to really get crowded.
Sun, I'm going to head over to the elementary wing I'm going to see if there are any teachers there or other students I might be in class with
You do that Lang, I will stay over there by the lake to see if you do in fact have a waterbending teacher
Sun's tone seemed to indicate that he wasn't sure the "teacher" would in fact show up or be willing to teach Lang.
Of course Sun has been known to be wrong and he hopes that this is one of those times.
Once Lang leaves to go explore Sun moves down by the lake and sits. a bit of worry seems to weigh heavily on him.
Tybalt proceeds to check the shack. A bunch of weapons. Useless weapons. The gods had given him everything he needed.A little ways down the path his first prey is spotted. A large boar not dire but big enough to be. It's rooting around unaware of it's current mortality. A flash. A slash. Silence. <thought: Man I have missed this!>
"Well, I think I should get Dara back to the elementary wing now. He's less nervous over there. I'll see you tomorrow evening if not before. We're really looking forward to it. Aren't we Dara?"
He peeked out from behind her again and gave another solemn nod.
There's new prey in sight. A large oceanic bird. This time there's more fun to be had. Shift up behind it. Creep forward and then YELL AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!! The bird manages not to have a heart attack and takes wing. It flies. Straight into his waiting paws. A snap a splash. <thought: maybe just one more then I'll go catch some actually existent fish in this pond I keep hearing about.>
"Be glad to have counted among them. Speaker I have not heard of that and would be over joyed to hear about it." He takes a seat and hopes to hear her story.
Tamina smiled. "Of course. It's not terribly exciting. I come from a small country to the west of here. The guiding precept of my homeland is to respect all life and our center of government is the Sacred Grove. The leader of our country is called the Speaker of the Sacred Grove, that would be my mother. Which makes me the Speaker-in-training. So I spend a lot of time learning about politics and diplomacy and nature magic, botany, and so on. Which is all very interesting but doesn't leave a lot of room for being a kid or having friends. I was lonely and miserable. So my mother sent me here. She told the councillors that it was so I could learn about the outside world so that I would be a better ruler in the future. But really it was just so I could have a little chance to be normal."
"sounds like an awesome mom."
This time something tougher a twofer. Two bucks squaring off for dominant territory. Theres a new alpha and it's neither of them. A whoosh water flies from a pouch and flash freezes underhoof. Two deer slip. Two deer fall. Two deer downed. "I think I've gotten it out of my system wherever you are Ma'am!"
