Dave smiles sadly at him and says "you sure that fish counting sounds pretty exciting" he chuckles "in all seriousness I'm happy that you count me as someone worth meetin so significantly"
"Well, now that the family's had the little meeting, I have a new student to enroll. Kam, Taron, while it's good to have you back, I'm pretty sure I don't have to explain you are, at the very least, temporarily expelled." He disappears.
The door opens to reveal a man in green robes sitting down. His red hair and the crimson tattoo on most of the left half of his face stand out clearly in the rather drab office. The window behind him gives a nice veiw of the garden where Johnny landed earlier.
"Hello. I'm Headmaster Antairus. Welcome to Avalon Academy..." he pauses, "Johnny Panic, right? What can I do for you?"
"So... should I let Dad cool down a bit and just go unpack?"
Dave smiles sadly at him and says "you sure that fish counting sounds pretty exciting" he chuckles "in all seriousness I'm happy that you count me as someone worth meetin so significantly"
"Well your interesting to say the least Shiny."
Renkai goes to his room and starts to "decorate" it.
Johnny smiles that perfect smile of his/her's and walks in.
"cool you know may name, nice to meet you Antairus
She/he offers her hand
"well I don't really know, I meet and guy on a world a long way from here, looked a bit like your actually, funny that, but not you, well he kind of knew I was looking for my mothers and well gave me this card, said I should come here as someone here knows about where I was born and who my real parents where."
Johnny offers up the card he was given.
"To be honest that's all I know, I'm kind of at a lost as to what to do next"
he/she looks around for some place to sit.
"So... should I let Dad cool down a bit and just go unpack?"
"That's probably for the best. Let him and Mom have a little time to catch up. I'll wait here, explain about the curse, enjoy a few blessed minutes of quiet while I don't have nervous parents, screaming children, panicked fey, or piles of paperwork clamoring for my attention. I honestly don't know how Uncle Ryo manages."
Dave smiles sadly at him and says "you sure that fish counting sounds pretty exciting" he chuckles "in all seriousness I'm happy that you count me as someone worth meetin so significantly""Well your interesting to say the least Shiny."
Dave grins at him "yeah I know I'm awesome" and then laughs lightly at his own bad joke.
"The Doppelganger Card, probably."
Ryuzo appears next to Ephebe
"Umm, good news and bad news. One of my kids, Xanther, has discovered an innate. Bad news is it's teleportation. I've got my clones looking for him, but thought I'd tell the boss," he says with a smile, then pops back out.
"Come on, Tare, I feel like laying down for a bit. We'll unpack when we get up." Kam says, standing up and putting and arm around Taron as she does the same. "We'll be in Taron's room in comas if anyone else decides to chew us out."
"Oh, and tell Jiminy he should come talk to us when he's got the time. He should know what's up."
Dave grins at him "yeah I know I'm awesome" and then laughs lightly at his own bad joke.Dave smiles sadly at him and says "you sure that fish counting sounds pretty exciting" he chuckles "in all seriousness I'm happy that you count me as someone worth meetin so significantly""Well your interesting to say the least Shiny."
"Sure ya'r sparkles you're made of frickin diamonds you should probly get a patent on that it's a neat way to look."
Ace smiles his best grin "My apologies, back home, we called our distant cousins all Lycanthropes. I had met a few, and they never seemed to mind. Perhaps they were just happy to have a friend, instead of being hunted down" He says a bit sadly.
He turns back to Tyrrin "Don't worry, this information is safe with me." He pauses a moment, and his storm grey eyes and grin take a devilish look to them "I've never taken on an entire warship. Could be fun"

She groaned. "So much for my few minutes of peace and quiet. This job would be so much easier if I weren't on the outs with Kronos."
"Alright, Kam. I'll let James know. I'm pretty sure he'll be by before morning. He doesn't sleep much these days."
"Oh yeah girls best friend, I'm told," he pretends to ponder "patents interesting idea, if people knew how I turned this awesome they'd do it and then it wouldn't be as cool"

She shrugged. "Lycans are hunters rather than hunted....and that tends to lead to the other problem. Already is. Some of us are trying to learn new ways."
"I dunno about a whole warship....would probably be a lot like taking on the IE....it would take a lot of us."
"Oh yeah girls best friend, I'm told," he pretends to ponder "patents interesting idea, if people knew how I turned this awesome they'd do it and then it wouldn't be as cool"
"So how does one become a precious gem stone? Being ice and fur is cool but it just doesn't have the same ring to it."
She groaned. "So much for my few minutes of peace and quiet. This job would be so much easier if I weren't on the outs with Kronos."
"Alright, Kam. I'll let James know. I'm pretty sure he'll be by before morning. He doesn't sleep much these days."
Taron's eyes glow for a moment.
"You might want to double check it, but the paper work's done at least." Taron manages to tell Ephebe before Kam drags her upstairs to sleep.
"Lotsa complicated magic hitting you at once, and the magic reacts wired with itself, three of the most important spells used were stone to flesh and flesh to stone hitting me at the same time while I stood inside a magic circle against evil and chaos. I could tell you the rest of it is kinda complicated, and kinda a really bad idea that could have killed me,"

I could tell you the rest of it is kinda complicated, and kinda a really bad idea that could have killed me,"
"Sounds painful." Tybalt gets up and grabs some blue plaid and black fabric from his pile of it and sets to work on some kind of something as he sits on his bed.
"I guess that means you don't have a zealous church full of fanatical crusaders who hunt down those who can change their shape, believing all of us to be purest evil around here, huh? Trust me, they wouldn't care if you were born a Lycan or made a Lycanthrope through magick. They all get hunted and exterminated" His tone is both angry and sad, and not at all directed at Jaiye.
"Oh heck yes, but it didn't last long, I think that if I hadn't had that regeneration I mite have died, but I think it was worth it." He returns to his datapad and eventually falls asleep if undisturbed
"Hmm" Tybalt grunts to confirm he heard what was said. As he continues work he finishes with a black T-shirt with blue print that reads "Cool Cat" and a pair of blue plaid cargo shorts.
Dave looks up briefly "I could go find my notes on how it hapened to me, i wouldn't suggest it espically without regeneration, plus I resist magic, I don't know how much is needed so eh" he goes back to his pad grinning at the shirt.

"Naw. That's more what they did to dragons. You missed the whole to-do last year when the were-dragons revealed themselves. It was a big mess. I guess people are getting used to the idea, but outside of Kuros most folks are still pretty suspicious of them."
Dave looks up briefly "I could go find my notes on how it hapened to me, i wouldn't suggest it espically without regeneration, plus I resist magic, I don't know how much is needed so eh" he goes back to his pad grinning at the shirt.
"Ya wasn't planning on it." He hangs his work on a hook and walks into the adjoining bathroom.
A half hour later Tybalt emerges from the room freshly clean and smelling of mint. He sees a sleeping Dave. Under his breath as to not wake him up, "night man see a tomorrow." With a slight smile he turns the light off sets an already sleeping Jericoh on a pillow on top of a night stand and crawls into bed. He gives the cat yawn where the tongue curls down and back up. Curls up into a ball and falls softly asleep with great expectations of tomorrow.
Having vacated the Cafeteria, lead on by the arrows from the walls, Anahita arrived at her room as quickly as her mighty legs could get her there. For anyone who saw her dashing by, it was an impressive sight for some 'mere' human girl, dressed in her cottons and khaki's.
The door swished open, she'd mastered that bit of technology, and she stood there in the doorway, peering back with an expression of uncertainty, the first since her arrival here. Whatever it was about that Johnny Panic, did in fact, cause her a small panic of her own.
>> Too .. not human? what, what was that? male and female, together? the face, too exact, too perfec-- I need to find my center. I feel .. very, disturbed. << Without another word, she slipped into the room and found the same place she sat before, crossing her legs and assuming a meditative position.
Within a few moments, having many years of experience doing so in the adventures and wilds she'd endured, Anahita seeks within herself the peace and tranquility that she always sought before. It comes in a heady rush, and is quite potent. Before long, she is in a deep state of trance, her mind at rest. Shortly there after, she simply falls asleep- it has been, apparently, a long day.
Dave shrugs and goes back to the data pad. After a slight delay he casts prestigitation over at the bathroom door, just in case. Soon thereafter he falls asleep, Skeets then casts guarded sleep, and flies off to the ship so that he can do minor repairs and sort what needs to be done next for when Dave can work on it.
Johnny looks at the headmaster waiting to see what he says
"I'm sorry to say that I don't recognize you. We'll help you, of course, but it may take time.""
"Naw. That's more what they did to dragons. You missed the whole to-do last year when the were-dragons revealed themselves. It was a big mess. I guess people are getting used to the idea, but outside of Kuros most folks are still pretty suspicious of them."
"I've done my best to ensure my Mother knows that they are our allies now, and she trusts my judgement. She tells me that at least a couple of the High Seers were publicly unsatisfied with the Headmaster's explanations though. Hopefully they will come to their senses before it becomes an issue."
"As far as 'taking on' this warship..." she gives Ace a glance that says 'what a stupid idea', the first time she'd looked away from the monitors. "It is bristling with weaponry, both magical and mundane, along with..." she pulls up a readout on her console "Along with a full compliment of crew and soldiers, roughly 2,000 humanoids aboard, not including the command crew, which is usually comprised of dragons. Not to mention you would have to somehow get there through the void."
"I hope our interceptors know what they are getting in to."
Jaiye's tail wagged. "I think that may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me."
"So...what does this fancy gadget do?" she asked, looking doubtfully at the telescope.
Tyrrin felt a little sad that that was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to Jaiye. She was such a caring girl, underneath everything else. Tyrrin wondered if she would ever be able to fight against a lycanthrope again. But now they were in the observatory again.
"Well, let's just test it then, shall we?" Tyrrin went over to the controls, enabling the large screen in the room. She pointed it at a nebula cluster she had seen through her smaller prototypes. A very beautiful cluster. She sets the scrying and optical sensors so that they work together, and then flips the switch.
Wyrd was still guarding the door, but upon seeing Tyrrin he would shift to a smaller form and allow them through with no comment.
Vai had followed her parents outside the cottage, once again holding Fei's hand. Compared to everything that was happening - all the anger that had been thrown around, including her own - the touch of Fei's hand was comforting, rather than frightening. Her rage had died when Tamrin had spoken, leaving an empty sadness instead.
The tears were there, she was fighting them, but once they were out of the house and away from Taron, Vai turned and pressed her face into Fei's chest, unable to hold back the tears anymore. She hoped that Fei was able to... control himself, but she didn't really care. She wrapped her arms around him and wept.
"I'm sorry to say that I don't recognize you. We'll help you, of course, but it may take time.""
::“what do i do now storm? I asked”::
::“it means the head master here may not know anyy thong of use, but hes happy for you to look, its also a school, so why not enroll, that may help, also your thinking its a staff member who knows something of use in your serch but it could be a student.”::
::“arrr yes got ya, cool”::
Johnny asks
“Thats a most kind offer, so I think it you’er ok with this I would like to enrol here, could i ask how thats done and whats entailed ?”
Then waits on the head master.
She stopped to think. If she were an eight year old boy who had just discovered the power to teleport, where would she go? She headed for the kitchen, specifically the deep freeze. And found Xanther literally trying to eat himself out of a bucket of ice cream.
She sighed.
::Ryuzo, I found your missing kid. He's gonna need a trip to the infirmary for a stomachache and a bath. And a dimensional anchor.::
"Miss Jhiwoon, Morrivan, Ginni, I hope I have not killed the festive mood. The beginning of a new semester of learning should be a happy time after all. Perhaps something can be done about the stargazing." Tyrrin's expression softened slightly. She didn't want her own worries to infect the good mood of her peers. "Give me a minute." Tyrrin returns to the console, furiously typing up the subroutines that would allow for screen-in-screen visuals. She still wanted to keep an eye on the warship, but the school could use the frivolity. Especially if this kind of threat was going to become a more common occurance.
Sadie surreptitiously put an arm around Morrivan. She wasn't sure which of them was more nervous after that whole spiel Tyrrin had given about the warship, but she was pretty sure that she at least could use some comforting. And she couldn't quite suppress a surge of optimism when Morrivan cuddled closer. Maybe, just once, things were going to actually work out. Maybe this time hope was warranted.
Aananda and Tamrin hear Jiminy's voice over the open link. "Progress report. Sunbeam and Fido are in the air. I've got them jumping to a point near that system's star that has a lot of electromagnetic activity. That should mask their arrival. Then they'll approach the ship while cloaked. ETA twenty minutes if there are no complications."
Ace gets visibly excited when Tyrrin mentions stargazing "I wonder if I can see any of the constellations from my home world here? I used to love looking at them as often as I could"
"The star positions will likely be very different Casil."
After a couple minutes there was a confirmatory beep from Tyrrin's console. "Alright, anyone who wants a crash course in how to use the telescope, come over here. I'm going to be opening the telescope for use for the student body in a couple days anyway. Jaiye, you too." Tyrrin was always trying to include Jaiye in things. Jaiye gave Tyrrin hope that maybe one day there might be peace with the lycans at home.
"Alright, these are the basic controls. There is a scrying device built in, so once you get a visual it can keep scrying even if the telescope realigns. These controls and monitors over here allow you to pull samples from whatever you are viewing, and teleports it into this containment unit. These other screens up here are mostly technical data. Useful for research, not really for viewing purposes. Don't worry too much about this screen over here. That's the emergency warning system. If it goes off while I'm not here though, find me or tell Professor Sunwake. That's about it, let me know if you have any questions."
Johnny again waits to see what the head master says.
Eventually Ehos gets over his despondency, and makes his way back through the quiet of the garden. The school was pretty much empty - everyone was asleep - by the time Ehos went in. Tyrrin still wasn't back. He had wanted to apologize to her as well... it could wait till tomorrow though. It's not like this was the first time she'd been mad at him. He takes a short shower, cleaning off the dust from the day - meeting Anahita, the firebirds, the library, the explosive test. Dancing. Drinking.
It had been a long day. Ehos falls asleep as soon as he hits the pillow.
Rosa walks over to the SIM controls, and brings up SIM.
::"I think its time for an Advanced PC class, and what better then at 2am Bring up room comes SIMMIND"::
a few seconds later
Suddenly in the bed rooms of Tybalt Baneko, David.De'Foul, Damiani,Renkai Urmas and Kryzbyn a sound that can only be called ear piercing fills then room. It ends as fast as it started and Rosa's voice replaces it.
Good morning, This is Rosa Luminass, some of you have meet me some not, I just wished to inform you that there will be an Advanced PE class in 15 minutes outside in SIM room one, if you wish to take part please make your way there and be outside the door before then. Rosa out.
Then sound stops.
Rosa heads down to SIM Room 1 to see who shows up.

Then sound stops.
Rosa heads down to SIM Room 1 to see who shows up.
As the sound goes off Tybalt is completely caught off guard and lets out an ear piercing REYOUWL! As he flies up out of bed and catches himself attached to the ceiling. He the admits fate puts on the new shirt and shorts and takes the easy way by porting directly to the room.
Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he lets out a faint "Hi Ms.Rosa."
Renkai bounces out of bed, gripping a sword-like blade with nasty protrusions sticking out of it....
"really?! Class at 2 am !"
Renkai is outraged but puts on a tight fitting black suit, strapping blades and other weapons to himself, and sprints to the Sim Room.
Dave wakes up at the sound of rosa and tybalts youwl he reflexively throws a bolt of fire that almost hits tybalt "sorry" he says sheepishly ::Skeets meet me at the sim room, class is in session, and there is no other class you could be in right now so let's go:: Dave flies at a mile a miniute and makes it there either first or second.
As renkai enters he sees a catfolk floating in the room he is black and white and wearing a black T-shirt that reads, "COOL CAT" in blue print and a pair of black and blue plaid cargo pants. The catfolk looks him up and down and says, "Nice suit. You don't smell like anything. Hi I'm Tybalt." He offers a paw/hand to shake.
