"Hey Tamrin...would it be ok with you if is just didn't go see Ryo....I had to see him yesterday for that fight with that annoying eldritch knight that kept hitting on Amada."
"Hey Tamrin...would it be ok with you if is just didn't go see Ryo....I had to see him yesterday for that fight with that annoying eldritch knight that kept hitting on Amada."
"Yes, but this would be for doing something right. It might be good to give a positive impression too," she added with an encouraging smile.
"If you say so. They seemed to be a distraction if you ask me. They spent more time throwing chairs and tables at non combatants rather than defending themselves.""To allow our 'guest' to slip away unnoticed in the confusion before anybody else could show up. Or to do something else entirely," he says with a nod as he looks over in the general area where the boy was.
Up until now, Vakkler's been distracted, hastily cleaning up the mess his frog thing made. Fortunately, he looks up and notices Tamrin.
"Ah, a few holes," he says icily. "The brat implied it had never actually been here. An illusion of some sort. From what it said, I'd say the elementals existed more to make a point than to distract anybody. Or maybe to clear the area? Given that he seemed to have done all he wanted to do here, I'd guess he just sought to show off. Boys will be boys."
When a sylph blushes, it's like a glorious burning sunset - their fine skin transmits color amazingly well, even in the case of half-breeds like Nasima, and her Djinn blood runs hot, making her flush of embarrassment more like a mural on her skin as the moving "clouds" on her skin -- visible only on her neck and hands, of course -- pick up the color differently than the parts they slide over. Her hair, meanwhile, is burnished orange and gold, like cumulus clouds in sunset.
The young girl looks from Ephebe to Mr. Sinh to Tamrin and then straight down at the ground, all her skin and hair erupting into glorious color. "th-thanks you guys..." The slim little walking sunset then falls in line behind everyone else, shuffling to the headmaster's office.
I hate when I do this. I need to start wearing hoodies...
Ephebe went very pale.
"An illusion?" she squeaked. "But....but that means....he could be anyone."
Ephebe went very pale.
"An illusion?" she squeaked. "But....but that means....he could be anyone."
Once again, Vakkler fails to detect Ephebe's fear. "Probably, yes. Depends on how many stalkers you have."
Krays' brow raises up, then asks
"This happens often? This stalking? Why not just gather other males to fight him for the right to mate?"
Krays' brow raises up, then asks
"This happens often? This stalking? Why not just gather other males to fight him for the right to mate?"
"That's what I wondered, Krays. Apparently, mammals have different familial bonds."
Nods at the point about mammals, then looks confused
"Didn't Asch just say he did so for a person named Amada?"
Krays' brow raises up, then asks
"This happens often? This stalking? Why not just gather other males to fight him for the right to mate?"
"Wait, what? This isn't...why would anyone..." Stops to think about what she was saying. "Okay, yeah there are some sick people who would, but this is most definitely NOT about mating," she says indignantly. But at least this seems to have shocked her out of her terror and she no longer looks like she's in danger of passing out.
Nasima gasps at the kobolds' words. "You guys! Ugh. Seriously! It's not mating, he's just a creep."

"I understood this. I was referring to my general impressions regarding your species. You all seem to have different priorities, and I felt Krays should be aware of this."
Looks at the girls and tilts his head to the side, then says
"My apology. I did not wish to offend."Ponders for a sec"Is it too early for your kind to mate?"
Thinks about the question he just asked, then sighs in resignation
"Perhaps I should stick to topics I know and let others worry about the why's...again, if my words offened, I apology...ize."

"It's a scientific question--though once again, mammals have different feelings on mating. I believe the answer is 'no'."
Nods again
"Then the question is, why is he interested in Ephebe, then?"
Looks at Ephebe
"It's ummm...complicated. Er, for a typical mammal I believe that it is not too early? Ummmm.....I wouldn't really know.....I don't date or anything......"
Nods again
"Then the question is, why is he interested in Ephebe, then?"
Looks at Ephebe
"Humans and similar species make it a priority to pick a mate they love. Of course, this isn't that odd. They have no nursery in which they keep all offspring, and so must raise their children by themselves. Having a tolerable mate makes this job a lot easier, I'd imagine."
"Well see." He says dejectedly as he follows to the headmaster's office. He has to hold in a chuckle at the interchange between Krays and Vakkler.
'Sima stares furiously at the ground while the 'mating talk' flies around her. She is so red at this point one could easily be forgiven for thinking her father was Efreet, not Djinn.
"by. the. gods."
"Well see." He says dejectedly as he follows to the headmaster's office. He has to hold in a chuckle at the interchange between Krays and Vakkler.
Seeing Asch's amusement, Vakkler is half tempted to launch into a treatise on creatures such as cambions, but decides against it.
Following on Ephebe's words, Sinh nods at 'Sima, "There you go, Miss. You did more good than you know; that's often the case. Don't fret."
He casts an eye towards Tamrin and bobs his head, "Beggin' your pardon, Master. Didn't mean to interrupt your investigation." The janitor quickly returns to his work.
"Not at all, Sinh. Let me know if you come across anything they may have left behind. I'd be much obliged," Tamrin says with a nod.
"Hey Tamrin...would it be ok with you if is just didn't go see Ryo....I had to see him yesterday for that fight with that annoying eldritch knight that kept hitting on Amada."
"Ah! Excuse me, teacher. I understand the victim is your daughter? Did you know she was being stalked? Have you done anything about it? Does the stalker go to this school?"
Krays' brow raises up, then asks
"This happens often? This stalking? Why not just gather other males to fight him for the right to mate?"
"Wait, what? This isn't...why would anyone..." Stops to think about what she was saying.

:P
Nasima rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath.
"Mating. Boys! Honestly! Ugh."
"Ah! Excuse me, teacher. I understand the victim is your daughter? Did you know she was being stalked? Have you done anything about it? Does the stalker go to this school?"
"I knew somebody was acting a bit creepy in regards to her, yes - which is why Rune has been on campus," he says as he gives his familiar a pat on the side.
"After the third time it happened, I asked the Headmaster to look into the records of the recently admitted students to see if we could find a match for this guy. I haven't had any other update yet - though I think this will get put to the top of the administration office's short list in the next few minutes."
"Hey boss, if we met him again can I go all out or do you need to take him in alive and stuff?" He says with a slightly malicious smile.
Nasima rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath.
"Mating. Boys! Honestly! Ugh."
Vakkler scowls at Nasima's disrespect. He turns back to Tamrin. "Ah, I see. Were you aware of his capabilities? Creatures like those aren't easy to summon, and maintaining an illusion from a distance isn't exactly a cakewalk."
Nasima rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath.
"Mating. Boys! Honestly! Ugh."
"Exactly."
Raises his hands up in a "ok, ok' fashion
"Sorry!"
"Hey boss, if we met him again can I go all out or do you need to take him in alive and stuff?" He says with a slightly malicious smile.
"At this point, I want answers more than I want a pile of dust in a vase," Tamrin replies with a slight chuckle. "If that changes, believe me - you'll be the first to know."

Vakkler scowls at Nasima's disrespect. He turns back to Tamrin. "Ah, I see. Were you aware of his capabilities? Creatures like those aren't easy to summon, and maintaining an illusion from a distance isn't exactly a cakewalk."
"Other than looking like a creepy stalker, no. This is the first time he has evinced any ability like this - which is why I want to know everything about the altercation. As far as summoning versus illusions, the jury's still out on that."
..

On the blood drinking field he has the thirst but has so far restrained from ever drinking so that "hopefully" will never be an issue. But who knows maybe at some point his resistance will break and he will.
"While I do enjoy a good debate, how about we move this inside somewhere a little more private? As for your update Tamrin, I have found several people in this school that share characteristics, but none that match." Ryo says as he walks out from behind them to open his office door(which may or may not have been there before). He speaks quietly to the three children* from before(who are already in the office) and they run out of the room.
"Poa Byby!" They shout in unison as they scurry off.
"Poa!" Ryo says before he motions for everyone to come in and have a seat(in chairs that appear out of nowhere) "I apologize for not being able to help with the incident in the cafeteria, but it seems whatever plan this boy has involves distracting me from his real plans. Is everyone alright?"
Steps through the stone wall covered in some sort of slimy goo just outside the office.
"Ephebe, are you okay? I'm so sorry I wasn't able to get here sooner. There was an...incident."
Ephebe looks oddly at the kids as they leave but turns at the sound of her mom's voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Mom. It's okay."
Steps through the stone wall covered in some sort of slimy goo just outside the office.
"Ephebe, are you okay? I'm so sorry I wasn't able to get here sooner. There was an...incident."
Vakkler glances up. "Did the slurks get loose again?"
"Ah, I don't have to go to the office, do I? I'm a bit busy. Slarrow's ill, I was on my way outside to get some herbs for him when this whole thing started."
"No, it most definitely is not okay," she said, closing the door behind her. "But we'll figure out better ways to protect you sweety, I promise."
"Can anyone spare a cantrip to clean off this goo? I'm dripping on the carpet."
"No, it most definitely is not okay," she said, closing the door behind her. "But we'll figure out better ways to protect you sweety, I promise."
"Can anyone spare a cantrip to clean off this goo? I'm dripping on the carpet."
Vakkler nods as the door closes. "Good, good." He turns and heads out.
'Sima whispers something in Auran, and suddenly a multitude of pleasantly warm zephyrs surround Aananda and strip all the goo off, leaving her warm and dry. They then zip through the ventilation system and outside, happy to clean the goop if it means being free of the confines of the building.
"Thanks you guys!" she whispers after them. "I'll come play soon, I promise."

"No, not the slurks. I'm not sure what it was, but it was big, slimy, and released right into the middle of my freshman phys ed class."

"Thank you, dear. I do appreciate it."
"Yeah were ok I mean I was involved in the fight was there any doubt it would turn out ok?"
Stares at Asch for a moment, then nods to humself, as if filing something away for later...
Looks up and sees Ryo, and bows, then steps into the office and takes a chair. He stands again and bows to Aanandareavekki when she appears, then re-seats himself. He bids H'Tor to wait outside, and alert him if there's trouble. he begins to chant in Infernal (beginnings of a prestidigitation), when he feels the air stir and do it's work. He stops the casting and looks at Nasima, seemingly impressed.
