After a few more moments of meditation and apparently wandering the flower garden in the spirit world (aka Astral) lang fells the presence of the spirits as the flower he had chosen is placed before him.
but the spirit was to quick for Lang to see and alas was unable to see it but he did feel the serenity of the spirit.
Lang returns to his physical body and opens his eyes.
the flower before him.
He gently picks it up Thank you garden spirits he gives a bow and goes to see Sun.
'I doubt it's a conscious decision, and I suspect it's more a matter of lust than anything else. It's a powerful force.' While writing, Ehos muses that, to others, they might look like a mating pair. 'I am just in a really good mood. I've had a great day so far, and I am looking forward to visit Professor Sunwake with this idea of yours. It can be a bit lonely, having only a handful of people who have the patience or ability to communicate with me. I am very grateful for your patience.' The words seem somber on paper, but his mood hasn't dampened in the slightest. The elf beams when she begins to inspect him.
"Shouldn't you visit the Professor straight away then? I can manage on my own if you are so moved." She smiles at that.
After a moment, if he doesn't immediately respond, she says, "As for anyone who doesn't have the patience to communicate with another living being- their loss. As for thanking me for my patience, you are most welcome. I cannot get to know something without trying to live as it does, or spend time with it."
Peering around she looks over at the other people who might be in the cafeteria, looking at their faces first, then their clothing/gear. The one fellow, Ryckart intrigues her for a short while before turning her attention back to Ehos.
"So, tell me more of yourself, Ehos. You appear to be quite content to merely spend time helping me adapt to this new location. Is that your duty here?" She is nearly finished with her selection of various foods.
Caedes nods to Gavin's question, "Yes that is what I am going to do."
"Um. Sure." and he begins to follow.
"So you're, uh, going to try to make...what happens to me happen...on purpose?" he asks.
He looks a little worried.
"Ok."
Dave walks around a bit before heading out to fly and explore the area by air he looks at his watch "yeah I still got time"
He sees starlight zipping around in the sky
After wandering the halls for a while Tybalt flashes up on top of the roof to stare at the new sunset. After grabing a uniform and materials to work on some formal wear for the concert.
Lang goes to see Sun at the willow tree.
Sun just sitting there in statue form.
Hey Sun how do i look?
You look great. So who is she?
Sun asks as he circles lang examining him to ensure everything is worn properly.
I see you are wearing the amulet your mother gave you. she must be important then
and what makes you so sure its a girl...
Sun just glares at him as if to say...really?
Lang just looks down Alright it is a girl that I met today. I hope she comes.
after a moment Her name is Ignace.
seeing the curious look on Sun's face
You remember Dave? well his girlfriend has a younger sister named Chara right.
Sun smiles and nods in agreement. remembering the fun he had playing games with her.
Well she has another sister and she is my age and will be in some of my classes.
He sees starlight zipping around in the sky
"hello again star how goes it"
From the rooftop Tybalt looks up from his work to see his shiny friend's silhouette against the setting sun as a small bright shape zips up to him. "Hey Jer waddaya think he's doing over there?"
Ace finishes eating lunch, "Ginni, I'm going to spend a few hours doing some research in the library, see if I can't find something useful to help you. Care to tag along? Having you there might be helpful, and of course enjoyable" He says with a smile.
"Dunno looks like he's talking to a flashy bug."
He sees starlight zipping around in the sky"hello again star how goes it"
Star zips away from him. stopping some distance away she says.
"I don't like you any more your mean, there is something wrong with you, deep down I can see it in your Patton, no matter which one I look down, you have a tragic future, your a fated one and its not a good fate"
Then she shoot off.
He looks a little worried.
"Ok."
Caedes nods to Gavin, as the trio heads off to the rooms. Once there Caedes steps inside the room waiting for Gavin.
Once inside Caedes looks up and says "Location, arena. Enemy Humwawa." He than waits for the area to change and for the enemy to appear before telling Gavin anything else about what he plans to do.
Kezzin comes to the cafeteria for lunch. After getting a plate full of food, mostly meats, he sits at an empty end of one of the tables and eats. He nods politely to anyone else sitting at the table he occupies but does not speak.
Dave has been told many times as a child that his fate was an important one so that cupped with the stark difference in her demeanor torwards him catches him off guard "what fated? What? Bad fate? What are you talking about?"
after he is summarily dismissed and ditched Dave returns to doing what he came out here for, exploring by air to clear his head
Spotting an empty table, Gareth makes a beeling for it, only to come up short when a kobold gets there first. Should he just go back to his room? It didn't seem like the older student would be mean...
Taking a chance, Gareth sits down across and a little to the side of Kezzin and starts to eat his food.
Kezzin nods to Gareth when he sits, but otherwise does not react to his presence.
He looks a little worried.
"Ok."Caedes nods to Gavin, as the trio heads off to the rooms. Once there Caedes steps inside the room waiting for Gavin.
** spoiler omitted **
Gavin walks in, and looks around.
"Whats a Hum...whatever?"
As Gavin walks in the room changes to that of a massive arena. As he asks his question a massive humanoid with a lion like face which could only be a Humwawa spoke of looks at the both of them. Caedes nods before speaking "That is a Humawa some people know it as Humbaba very good fighter. You are going to go fight it, after what happens to you happens I am going to see how you fight as well as how in control you are before I see about forcing you to control yourself. Any questions but I let you go?" Caedes says to Gavin after everything is set up.
Rosa moniters the sim with the students Training as she dos all the sims ,
"Excuse me ma'am," a voice says behind Rosa, "I'm looking for the PE teacher.
Rosa looks around.
"hello there Master Plainsong, I'll just be a moment"
The screen in front of her go's off and she gets up, Rosa stands some 18' high and is a Female looking advanced Construct (Mecka).
Rosa Looks like this IMAGE HERE
She seems nice and well spoken.
"Well hello, I am the PE teacher, My name is long but please just call me Rosa most do, Now what can I do for you today Reed?"
Anahita will study Kezzin when he enters, intrigued by the shape and form of the 'kobold'.
"Uhh...OK. I don't actually know how to fight...what am I supposed do?"
He's not backing down, per se, but he's very hesitant.
Caedes looks at Gavin before going into a pouch and pulling out a long sword and a shield. "Basics, keep yourself behind the shield like this." Caedes shows Gavin how, with the shield he has, before going on [b]"And you hold the sword low and at the ready like this." Again showing Gavin with the sword he has. "Finally always try to take a hit with the shield and do not brace yourself he is a lot stronger than you are try to jump back or roll away from the hit. Any other questions?" Caedes says all of this as the Humbaba looks at the both of them oddly.
Rosa looks around.
"hello there Master Plainsong, I'll just be a moment"
The screen in front of her go's off and she gets up, Rosa stands some 18' high and is a Female looking advanced Construct (Mecka).
Rosa Looks like this IMAGE HERE
She seems nice and well spoken.
"Well hello, I am the PE teacher, My name is long but please just call me Rosa most do, Now what can I do for you today Reed?"
"I was wondering what this class entails and if we," he indicates his tiger, "could see how these chambers work."
** spoiler omitted **
::We make roughly ten a day for now. But demand is starting to increase so we're probably going to start speeding things up soon.::
::Are the shuttles going to be able to get off-planet? Can they get through the wards?:: Vai had alot of questions. This stuff was super interesting after all. And the sooner Ghalen could leave, the better.
"Yeah," she whispered. "It's some kinda big device to look at stars I think, but Tyrrin is the only one who knows how to set it up," she said with a nod towards the sleeping girl.
Also in the room is the telescope itself. A very large piece of equipment, at least 20 feet long, and 2 feet wide at it's thickest. There is a mount already setup, with alot of machinery around, obviously designed to aim the telescope. You have no idea how Tyrrin had planned to move the telescope into position without help. There is also a small bank of computer technology. She must've had help from Aananda and Jiminy to fabricate alot of the equipment in the room. It's still impressive for only 4 months of work.
Tyrrin herself appears to be having a troubled sleep. Her face in contorted in an expression of pain and worry. Though she doesn't sit up or call out, anyone watching closely would see that her lips and hands twitch together, as if she was going to cast a spell.
"I was wondering what this class entails and if we," he indicates his tiger, "could see how these chambers work."
"Its complex but the core idea is simple, with a combination of advanced technology and Magic arts, the Simulation rooms can make just about any where and when you like, they are of course copy's but very good ones. The such SIMs as we call them are used for classes such as PE and training. But its better to show you"
She leads you into a large empty room with bear walls.
"SIMMIND please give use, Troll attack 40, Elf temple, Woods please."
The walls of the room fall away and behind them is a wood land space with a large tree, Elfs can be seen at the top of the tree in a temple like growth. The tree is come 300' tall.
"A troll band of 40 is just about to come out of the woods and attack this place, So you think you can stop them?"
You can hear movement behind you.
"Shouldn't you visit the Professor straight away then? I can manage on my own if you are so moved." She smiles at that.
After a moment, if he doesn't immediately respond, she says, "As for anyone who doesn't have the patience to communicate with another living being- their loss. As for thanking me for my patience, you are most welcome. I cannot get to know something without trying to live as it does, or spend time with it."
Peering around she looks over at the other people who might be in the cafeteria, looking at their faces first, then their clothing/gear. The one fellow, Ryckart intrigues her for a short while before turning her attention back to Ehos.
"So, tell me more of yourself, Ehos. You appear to be quite content to merely spend time helping me adapt to this new location. Is that your duty here?" She is nearly finished with her selection of various foods.
'I am also possessed with patience. I can wait until you are ready to depart to meet with her. A handful of minutes will make very little difference.'
Ehos grimaced when Anahita wanted to know more about him. He didn't like sharing his heritage, for fear that people might stiffen up around him. He wasn't even the heir. Anahita had been fully honest with him though, and he owed her at least that. 'As I have said, I have no duties. Nothing compels me to spend time with you other than the pleasure of your company. As for me, I am the younger of two children. My mother is a High Seer of Agartha, and is also the ruler of a large forest territory, the elven homeland. I think myself fortunate that I am not her heir, and so I have been spared much of the pressure that my sister experiences. My sister also attends the school, though the power she acquired is not deadly, like my own.'
Reed smirks a little, "Would've prefered plains, but I'll take a crack at it," he said, taking his stone-headed greataxe off his back.

"I apologize if my question caused you duress, Ehos. None the less, thank you for sharing. So you appear to be of noble background. Did you choose to come here? Then what is it you do in this school if you have no duties?"
Anahita didn't seem too interested in anything other than Ehos, since he's right here and the other family members were somewhere else.
She has completed her eating at this point, but doesn't seem moved to leave the immediate area, waiting on his motion to go to the Professor or not.
Reed smirks a little, "Would've prefered plains, but I'll take a crack at it," he said, taking his stone-headed greataxe off his back.
"halt SIM replace woods with plains."
The woods fall away to low hills, The tree temple is now gone and a human Stone one takes its place. Over a hell about a mile away come a band of some 40 trolls.
"Is that more to your liking, I will stay here wile you stop them if any get past you I will deal with them."
Rosa is holding a large Gun Sword now,
"but any that get past of course loses you points, so you best get at them"
After seeing the bug zip off Tybalt flashes over to Dave "hey I was on the roof making a suit when I saw you up here and I was all like 'hey maybe Dave wants a suit too' so here I am want a suit?" While taking measurements Without having been told to make a suit or needing them yet.
"I think I understand," he said.
He takes the shield and mimics Caedes, but he can tell he doesn't have the proper upper body strength to use a shield properly. He does adjust it a few times, and gets comfortable with it on, and swings the sword around.
"Bob n weave then? Ok..." he gets into a crouch, trying to put himself as much behind the shield as possible, and faces the lion-person.

::Are the shuttles going to be able to get off-planet? Can they get through the wards?:: Vai had alot of questions. This stuff was super interesting after all. And the sooner Ghalen could leave, the better.
In the library, Ghalen's ear itches for second as he studies...
Ace finishes eating lunch, "Ginni, I'm going to spend a few hours doing some research in the library, see if I can't find something useful to help you. Care to tag along? Having you there might be helpful, and of course enjoyable" He says with a smile.
Ginni shrugs. "Why not? I don't have any other plans for this afternoon....and you are trying to help me."
"See you guys later," she said with a cheerful wave to Tamina and Morrivan. "And don't worry, Tamina. He's already been warned so it's okay."

::We assemble the shuttles in the next building. They're significantly more complicated than the skimmers. We can make at most two a day. But we've already tested them. They work just fine. And the wards allow traffic in and out. They're just supposed to make enemies forget all about this place as soon as they leave.::
::And we've started work on some interesting prototypes...the early versions are being used for PE classes....but I've been working on improvements. Big improvements.::
Tyrrin herself appears to be having a troubled sleep. Her face in contorted in an expression of pain and worry. Though she doesn't sit up or call out, anyone watching closely would see that her lips and hands twitch together, as if she was going to cast a spell.
"So, uh...do you want to wake her, or should I?" Jaiye asked nervously, noticing the movements and feeling a little hesitant about the possibility of getting hit with a spell if she woke up Tyrrin.
Walking to the library, Ace chats with Ginni, telling her about his home world "Its called Eberron, named after the dragon who legend say formed the earth or at least bound herself to it. My kind, along with our lesser cousins the Changelings, as well as our more distand cousins the Lycanthrope and Shifters were hunted down by a very zealous religion, known as the Church of the Silver Flame. It was as I fleeing a squad of their inquisitors that I somehow ended up here."
Dave raises his eyes,then says "um sure?"
Anahita will study Kezzin when he enters, intrigued by the shape and form of the 'kobold'.
If Anahita is familiar with kobolds, she will immediately notice the decidedly more vicious and powerful appearance of Kezzin. Also interesting is the odd translucent coloration to parts of his scales. Some kobolds have been known to show similar coloration, but almost always in the colors of the chromatic dragons. This translucence is something altogether new.
She is also unsure if he noticed her scrutiny, but if so he seems not to care in the slightest.
