Shortly upon entering the room he is flaged down by tybalt "complicated, and rather personal, I would tell you but not only is this not the place but its not my story to tell, but what I want to know is how did this happen" he guestures with his left hand to the multitude of girls seemingly fawning over him grinning all the while.
"I'm not really sure but let me introduce you. Girls this is Dave. Dave this is Tinina and thats. . .Her friend and that's. . . . Her other friend. . . . And they're the rest of her friends." He cringes as another blast of fire roars up from the stage.
Dave grins and shakes his head, "of course, I guess I'll leave you to that"
Dave turns back to Raelle "care to dance?"
Dave grins and shakes his head, "of course, I guess I'll leave you to that"
Dave turns back to Raelle "care to dance?"
He does a short salute "later." He returns his attention to one of the girls insistent on scratching him behind the ears *purrrrrrrr*
Dave grins and shakes his head, "of course, I guess I'll leave you to that"
Dave turns back to Raelle "care to dance?"
"Not. Happening."
Raelle gave Dave an apologetic smile. "I guess I'll have to take a rain check on that."
Dave shrugs and tries to look as though he is not altogether bothered, though in truth he has to force down a surge of mostly irrational anger at Sorchan's 'interference' "oh well, though I must say your sister's band is quite talanted, which one is she"
Dom had joined the dance floor as FAIN started to play. There style was great, and he could fee the music pulsing through his body. He beat drove his body to another rhythmic movement. It didn't take long for girls to start dancing with him and another to cut in. It was fairly comical to him as the two girls kept cutting each other out. He could see the two girls were starting to become angry with the other. Seeing as how things have been happening here he decided to try preventing thing from getting to far. He grabbed both girls and pulled them close for the dance getting both to move with in. At first the two girls seemed caught off guard and stumbled a bit but it didn't take them too long to start enjoying themselves and dance with him and the other girl in tandem.
Seated up above, being able to peer down into the garden and enjoy the sounds and festivities from her vantage point, Anahita sits with legs tucked beneath her sideways, watching the show.
>>Now these are good performers. Well done.<< she thinks of their song choices and lyrics.
Glancing up and around, keeping a slight beat in tune to the songs, she sits happily enjoying the evening sky and revelry, but not up close. At one point, again she removes her head dress and shakes out her hair, running a hand through the thick locks to straighten it out that it might fall towards her mid-back.
She idly wondered about visiting her room, finally, since it would be such a simple thing to do, but given the festive mood and her enjoyment of such, decided not too.
With another thought on the subject, and apparently making a choice, she nimbly finds a method of decent down to the garden, and in a rather quick movement, heads for the tables with snacks and other drink offerings, seeking to find more of that odd tasting, yet new, drink.

"She's the singer. You know, the one tossing around pyrotechnics," she said as Fieri set off another round of fireworks.
He looks "ah, cool.. Or rather warm.. Ok that was a terrible pun and I apologize I couldn't resist, but that does add a certain flare to the performance" after a pause "wow, I didn't even mean to make that one"
Ardiente had apologized to Tamina for ditching before leaping into the air in his firebird form. He was in bliss, soaring above the stage as the sparks and flames from the performance flowed over him. Knowing that Fieri was focusing on the music, Ardiente will attempt to manipulate the pyrotechnics into even more complicated and beautiful patterns. He weaved in among them in his firebird form.

"Well... ok. i guess i'll talk to someone else..."
Ignace was going to answer Lang's question when the fireworks started. She winced and shrank back in her chair.
"My sister uses a lot of fire effects in her performance....but I still want to see it," she said in a small voice.
You have nothing to fear in this Pod
Lang leans in close to the console and whispers she doesn't have anything to fear, right?
He looks "ah, cool.. Or rather warm.. Ok that was a terrible pun and I apologize I couldn't resist, but that does add a certain flare to the performance" after a pause "wow, I didn't even mean to make that one"
She giggled. "I helped Fi make the canisters for the fireworks this time," she admitted. "I may not know a lot of alchemy, but I know enough to make colored flames."
"That's really cool, I don't know much at all about alchemy, if I want regular fireworks I've had to buy them, but maybe I'll learn in alchemy class, " Dave smiles at her laughter, glad to have made it, even on accident.
roel sees exited people dancing around Dom. he collapses, moves over to Dom, reconstitutes, and Greets him. "hi! you seem to be having fun."
"You bet! Being over on the side line never was my style.... Wow? Your looking a little green there pal." He stops dancing when he sees Roel. A look of confusion grows across his face. "Tell me that's just a racial thing, or are you just that into color coordination?"
Ginni was enjoying dancing with Ace. She could just forget all of the other stuff and lose herself in the music for a bit. She saw Tamina across the room. Apparently no longer with Ardiente. She waved.
"You bet! Being over on the side line never was my style.... Wow? Your looking a little green there pal." He stops dancing when he sees Roel. A look of confusion grows across his face. "Tell me that's just a racial thing, or are you just that into color coordination?"
"Uh... i suppose "Racial" would be the correct term. i am living acid..."
"Living acid, no high five for you then. Whats with the whip? Did I dance with your girl? He looks to the two girls he was dancing with. You.. You? They both shake there heads no, both seeming a little confused. " Hey if I did it was just a dance."
"eh? oh, i should probably put that away." he sucks it back into his body "sorry if that made you nervous. if i keep focused, i don't have to melt things... but it's kinda hard."
Lang enjoys the show, the music many times better than the other bands. He keeps one eye on Ignace to make sure she is ok.
with each blast seeing her flinch, Lang keeps wanting to remove her from the situation.
Are you alright? do you want to stay? remeber you are safe her in this Pod that fire cannot hurt us, Or I should say me since you are a firebird and all Hopeing she wants to stay
trying to lighten the mood by keeping her mind off the pyrotechnics.
You did a great job on that dress, I wish I had a talent like that. you have a real eye for fashion
of course not wanting to be left out himself hey aren't some those sequins the ones I help you with? you really know how to make my screw ups look great
"Oh it's all good. I just get that way when people I don't know have weapons draw when they start a conversation with me. The last few times that has happened it ended up ruining my day." A smile appears on his face.
"Really? hmm. i'll be careful not to have my weapon drawn when i speak to people then. Seems I have a lot to learn."

Reed is off by himself, not seeming too interested in the party, "Hello friend," he says to her when she gets to the table.
"I'm not sure it's everyone or just me that ends up having a bad day, but typically one expects trouble when a weapon is brandished. Here lets get off the dance floor if we are going to continue this conversation. Ladies I will hopefully talk to you later unless you two wish to join us." The two girls wave as they disappear into the flood of people dancing. Dom walks over to a table out to the side of the dance floor near Tybalt. "Hey Tybalt seems your having a good time, Ladies. This is... Umm Sorry I haven't got your name yet?" Dom bows to the girls and waves a hand toward Roel.
"I am Roel. sorry, iv'e been told rather often i smell. I don't really know what that is, but it seems to be unpleasant, more so to a few, like ice cat and dave."

Lang leans in close to the console and whispers she doesn't have anything to fear, right?
A screen comes on that says
**"Nothing at all"**then
**Wards and pod = safe as can be**
Ignace nods tensely at his continued reassurances. It doesn't help her feel less panicked, but at least she finally gets to see her oldest sister perform. And the dress really did turn out as well as she'd hoped.
"Thank you," she said softly when Lang compliments her on her design skills.
The first thought to pop into Belyu's mind was that Fain was getting better. Almost as good as Fly Free was. The good natured humor in that thought quickly dissolves and she leaves the dance floor quickly. She didn't feel like dancing anymore.
"I really hope someone spiked the punch again..."
"I assure my hearing if superb." A man in green robes says as he walks down the hall toward them. "I apologize for not returning here sooner, but I had something that needed my attention elsewhere. Please, come in." The door opens on it's own and the Headmaster walks in to sit down behind his desk. He gestures to the other seats. "Have a seat if you would like too. You can have one too, Skeets, but I believe you might prefer to fly since you don't tire. I am Headmaster Ryo. What can I do for you?" He asks Kiara.
Anahita looks up at Reed standing there and says warmly with some snacks and drinks in hand, "Hello Reed Plainsong. How are you enjoying the concert?"
She looks around, smiling lightly and eating some cupped chips in hand, while sipping more of the punch, or equivalent.
"This latest set of music is by far, the better of the three, I believe. I could not understand the purpose of the prior one, let alone the first. Most odd, though new. Perhaps with time."
She seems content, and mostly enjoying herself.
"I've just arrived here and I'm not sure what to do, seeing as I have no clue where I am, how I got here or even where those orcs that were chasing me went off to."
Reed shrugged, "Sort of, I miss the plains of my homeland. Not all of this growth and high walls."
"Well I grew up going from one tavern to the next so sadly your not the worst person I have ever smelled. Well then I guess you have met Tybalt then. I'm Dom. Hello ladies." He bows to the girls at the table.
Looking up at the tall Minotaur Reed Plainsong, Anahita nods and says, "There is no shame in missing what is familiar, but adapt to where you are, and embrace it's uniqueness. I am trying to feel how this school is alive- it strikes me as such, with us living within it, and it re-shaping to suit. Chaotic, but there is an order to it all. We learn by doing."
She smiles and chews on the food in hand, sipping more of the punch. "Have you tried the punch? Did you get your courses? Have you seen your room, I need to do such soon."
Perhaps it's the food, perhaps it's the 'fun' of the music and what not, but she appears to be content. Or not too disrupted by all the happenings going on.
"My classes are arranged and I haven't tried anything yet," he said, "Perhaps later we could walk through the gardens?"
With a motion over to the Gardens, Anahita nods and says, "They are right over there- and the view of the sky is most lovely. I recommend going out there if you feel this place unappealing. Have you met anyone else interesting?"
If Reed chooses, she will go with, otherwise, she is content to stand near the food and drink, or eventually leads him closer to the doorways out to the Garden to stand at the threshold.
She watches Reed's features with a hint of calm and relaxed, contentment easily etched upon her face.
"I managed to see a dragon earlier, blue variety, flying off with someone as a passenger mounted on it's back. I believe it was a student, isn't this place amazing? Such variety of life."
"Oh hey Dom *cough* hey Roel." Most of the girls wave at Dom. As Roel arrives all of them excuse themselves except Tinina. "Guess it had to end at some point. At least theres room for y'all now." He attempts to prestidigitize Roel to smell better as theres no window to blow the smell out of. It's mostly ineffective. "At least I'm not dying anymore. Geeze you could weaponize that smell."
Reed walked with her to the gardens, "You know, here in the gardens its so peaceful."
Ehos was laying on his back in his usual spot in the garden, staring at the stars. His face still stung a bit, a reminder.
At least it was peaceful here. No one to hurt with his voice or his words.
"Then she was likely teleported. There isn't much that could get through the wards though, so it must have been exceedingly powerful."
"Anyway, Miss, you are in a school called Avalon, on a planet called Agartha. The school is for children and young adults who need help learning how to control and use their abilities. You are welcome to enroll here if you wish, and it is free to do so. It could help you learn about this world and what happened to you."
FAIN continued through the rest of their set with no major incidents, though there was one close call when a firework nearly tipped over. But they were definitely getting more comfortable with their stage shows. In total they played a nine song set before closing out the concert.
"Thank you all. It's been a privilege to perform for all of you. And we're looking forward to another great school year! Thank you and goodnight!"
Dave claps loudly and chears, having throughly enjoyed himself he looks to Raelle and smiles "so all in all that was a memorable first date if nothing else eh?"
"I found this to be true, Reed Plainsong. The calm of Nature, when it is so, is often the best of its kind. Do you look forward to your learning here?"
Anahita certainly did not appear to have any low-light or dark vision, or perhaps, was not seeking to interrupt Ehos. More likely the former lack of vision being a human teenager of sorts.
She walks along with Reed, demonstrating a calm patience and not really driving the conversation, reflecting some of Reed's currently displayed manner back.
At one point though, she asks, "So what resulted of your head butt? You seemed so angered by that, who I felt was haughty, human?"
"They'll be back, bra. So don't worry about it. Who is this your friend?" He motion to Tinina, then bows politely. He slips in to a seat and rubs his nose.
[spoiler=sense motive or preception DC ??]It looks like he's casting a prestidigitation on his nose.
"I was lectured, but not much else, my anger sometimes flares like that of the All Mother."
