also giving time in case anyone wants to join Lang for morning routines.
Johnny pulls up to Storm after her run and sees Lang now talking to what..
::"Is that?"::
::"Yes the stone Baboon, he came to life when the child came out to do some kind of yoga."::
::"Drone?"::
::"Nope, it was stone, 100% then it became flesh and blood"::
::"Magic?"::
::"Well I don't know how it did it and as I'm think im one of the smartest things on the planet, and no idea so, yes magic if you like"::
::"Well best foot and all that"::
Johnny grabs a cloth to wipe of his sweat and walks over to Long and the Stone Baboon.
"Hi I'm Johnny, err nice day by the looks of it"
starting to stretch her legs before they get stiff and Just as Dom shows up
After just a few minutes of walking around, Rahz managed to find his way to the headmaster's office; it had to be, anyway. Making sure that no one was going to get in his way, he gave the door a few knocks and stood there for a bit, before calling out, "Headmaster? Rahz Endoril here, and I need to speak with you about my experi--I mean studies here."
Lang makes his way to the cafeteria. luckily its still alittle early so there are not as heavy crowds.
Lang makes his way through the lines looking for Sun's bag that is always there for him and tosses in a Bran muffin for him as well.
Lang grabs a hearty bowl of oatmeal but for some subconcious unknown reason he grabs a small brick of charcoal.
once again lang yells to the back not seeing the giver of Sun's gift
Thank You again for the bag. Sun really likes this you will have to come meet him sometime
He waits a few seconds and heads out to meet Sun.
Lang comes out to meet Sun and sees that Sun has invited Dom to dine with them (or maybe the other way around?)

"Hi I'm Johnny, err nice day by the looks of it"
She starts to stretch her legs before they get stiff.
lang pauses his routine oh, hello. who are you? I am Lang Fei of the Eastern Sky Temples in Sunrise Mountains. this is Sun Wukong my guardian and friend
Lang bows to Johnny
He looks around the room and sees a near empty table where Adon sits. He blinks over and looks at Adon. "Hi I'm Tybalt. Mind if I sit here?"
"Of course not." he smiles "great to have company."
Sun ushers Lang off to get breakfast
I'm hungry
Sun turns to Johnny I am sorry but we are going to get some breakfast would you care to join us?
The doors opens for Rahz.
"Say what you mean, Mr. Endoril. That goes a long way here at Avalon."
He looks around the room and sees a near empty table where Adon sits. He blinks over and looks at Adon. "Hi I'm Tybalt. Mind if I sit here?""Of course not." he smiles "great to have company."
He floats down into a seat and places Jericoh next to his tiny veggie plate. He sets his own tray down with a solid thunk just from its weight. He begins to combine food in various ways that don't seem appetising to most people. "So what's your name? What's your favorite color? Why aren't you shiny like most people here? How old are you? How long have you been here? What's yo thang? Why you be here bro?" He asks questions rapidly slipping into a bad street accent when he gets to the last two

"... you done? ok. in order... Adon. Yellow. Old enough to know, and young enough not to care; 2 days, I don't have a "thing", and I'm here because i'm minor Anti-magic, and i love to learn."
Sun ushers Lang off to get breakfast
I'm hungry
Sun turns to Johnny I am sorry but we are going to get some breakfast would you care to join us?
"Ye sure, I was going to look for the eating place, Eastern Sky Temples in Sunrise Mountains, sounds nice"
Johnny flashes that amazing smile and seems interested.
"Storm there is the same with me, kind of long term friend and some times guardian."
"You wish!"
Says storm as they walk off.
Then To johnny
::"You want a knife missiles to go with you?"::
::"No I Don't, you physio! and I know you don't have any"::
::"I could make some."::
::"Chill will you, its safe here, now go back to counting plants"::
Johnny says to the two with him
"you guys study here?"
Without delay, Rahz walked into the headmaster's office and took a seat, eager to learn what may be in store for him. As he sat, though, a small breeze ruffled his clothes. "Oh, yes, of course," he said in response to the headmaster's comment. "I suppose you should know a little bit about me. Well, I suppose you already know what I am, and I'm not really that much different from my own kind..."
In shorter words than what Rahz chose to use, he basically told the headmaster that he was on the quest to observe several different types of behaviors that people tend to have under certain influences, though he made sure to keep himself very vague and not directly say what his experiments consisted of; he especially made sure to not mention anything about raw magical energy, and was very careful and very accurate in making sure he stayed away from the subject entirely.
"...and so I guess you could say I'm a sort of scientist interested in the psyche of individuals," he finally concluded. "So, what does the Academy have to offer for one of my interests and magical talent, then? I'm sure sorcerers are able to fit in quite nicely."
Well, Lang does, I do not I am here mostly to help guide Lang in the right direction.
Lang is a special boy, He is far more advanced than the others at the temple, which is one of the reasons he was sent here.
Sun stops and faces Johnny looking her in the eyes
You have questons. you are curious about me aren't you?
Sun resumes walking again
go ahead and ask then
"... you done? ok. in order... Adon. Yellow. Old enough to know, and young enough not to care; 2 days, I don't have a "thing", and I'm here because i'm minor Anti-magic, and i love to learn."
"Cool. Meh. Hunh. Ah. Everyone has a thing. Learnings cool. What's 'anti-magic'? Sounds like it makes stuff boring. And that would probly be your thing." He takes a giant chunk out of a poptart and fish sandwich.
"You want to learn about people's minds and reactions? As long as none of your experiments harm any students or staff members, I have an idea."
"Yes I do, you can transmute from one form of matter to another, from silicate to carbon life. I knows ways that can be done but not with out tell tail signs of technology, power and time. I know the reading I just picked up and they where off the chart, yet no heat bleed, no radiation leak just stone to flesh in an a few seconds, so yes kind of interested in how you or some one did it?"
Johnny says this in a off hand way always looking ahead, a look of interest on his face.
"You want to learn about people's minds and reactions? As long as none of your experiments harm any students or staff members, I have an idea."
Rahz leaned in a littler closer, just barely able to control his excitement, which was a bit more important to him that it was to most other people; he had consequences. "Oh, I never intentionally harm anyone," he said, though the latter part of his sentence had a bit of Abyssal mixed in. "What's this idea of yours?"
Kitty finished her work and went to check up on Dave's progress. "Not too bad," she conceded.
"Alright, well, I'll get everyone back in their cages while you go put away the cleaning supplies and we should still have time to shower and eat breakfast before the first class starts. I'll see you again tomorrow morning."
Ace smiles "I missed the demon fighting part, that might have been fun. . I helped saved the crashing ship. I'm guessing the lake appearing is kinda normal. This is also my second day here, kinda excited to start classes"
"Yes, as am I. The mind, like a blade, grows dull over time when not sharpened by learning."
Sun laughs not at the question itself but rather the manner of the asking.
Sun responds let me answer your question with a question of my own. you spoke of science, and technology, do you believe there is more to life that just flesh and bone? or maybe I should ask you, How would you define life?
Sun stops to listen to what he (or she) ahs to say. he is definitely interested in the answer.
He puts away the equipment and says "I'll, be there," he goes to leave but turns back"I truly am sorry for my actions..." He bows lowly, and you get the feeling that this is not something that is done lightly to him, humbling himself, in any case he leaves without further coment.
After making a stop for yet another cup of coffee he puts his hand on the wall and goes to find Raelle curious and concerned as to what happened to her after he left.
"Cool. Meh. Hunh. Ah. Everyone has a thing. Learnings cool. What's 'anti-magic'? Sounds like it makes stuff boring. And that would probly be your thing." He takes a giant chunk out of a poptart and fish sandwich.
"... you done? ok. in order... Adon. Yellow. Old enough to know, and young enough not to care; 2 days, I don't have a "thing", and I'm here because i'm minor Anti-magic, and i love to learn."
"Boring! hah i..." he freezes up for a moment. "yea... it really does. but it is a part of me, no matter how much it sucks. but always be aware- magic can fail you. don't build your life around it or you will fall. i know. i spent most of my childhood learning magic, and this is what i have to show for it." casts mage hand, spinning a pencil.

Tybalt waves at Dave as he comes in to get coffee. If Dave notices and waves back nothing happens if he doesn't notice it is cold if he notices and doesn't wave back it's frozen solid. As he takes the first sip on the way out.
Dave waves, not that it would have mattered to him if his coffee was cold or even frozen even if he did know that that would happen.
Sun laughs not at the question itself but rather the manner of the asking.
Sun responds let me answer your question with a question of my own. you spoke of science, and technology, do you believe there is more to life that just flesh and bone? or maybe I should ask you, How would you define life?
Sun stops to listen to what he (or she) ahs to say. he is definitely interested in the answer.
Now its Johnny’s turn to laughs. she lifts her head up at the sky and chuckles. Then shakes her head with a ruse-full look on he's face and a twinkle in his eye.
"haha,That kind of bait and switch make work with the kid here, but when one asks a technical question and gets a metaphysical one in response your know its going to be a long talk"
Johnny then looks the baboon in the eyes, not in a hard way but will a smile.
"Are you saying you will not tell me the specifics of what you did unless a give you an debatable none definable metaphysical geniality on on a noun, so you can use that to say "well, unless you can tell me what I want in a way I want your getting nothing from me"
Johnny wages his finger in a joking way at the Baboon.
"You know that's very tricky of you and some would say, that kind of thing comes over as obfuscation to the point of being obtuse. I do hope your not being that Sun. Because one could be lead into to believing you don't really know how you did it. That you may just have some faith and soul based theological ideology ready to roll out when you put in the old 'Details' spot. Now I will ask you in response to your question to mine, are we heading that way here?"
Johnny leans back up, there is definitely a twinkle in her eye and an amused smile on her face.
Raelle slunk into the cafeteria, grabbing some burnt toast and a cup of warm glycerin. She didn't really feel much like socializing after being raked over the coals by her parents first thing in the morning.
"You want to learn about people's minds and reactions? As long as none of your experiments harm any students or staff members, I have an idea."Rahz leaned in a littler closer, just barely able to control his excitement, which was a bit more important to him that it was to most other people; he had consequences. "Oh, I never intentionally harm anyone," he said, though the latter part of his sentence had a bit of Abyssal mixed in. "What's this idea of yours?"
The headmaster leans in a bit.
"Enroll as a student."
"Boring! hah i..." he freezes up for a moment. "yea... it really does. but it is a part of me, no matter how much it sucks. but always be aware- magic can fail you. don't build your life around it or you will fall. i know. i spent most of my childhood learning magic, and this is what i have to show for it." casts mage hand, spinning a pencil."Cool.

"... you done? ok. in order... Adon. Yellow. Old enough to know, and young enough not to care; 2 days, I don't have a "thing", and I'm here because i'm minor Anti-magic, and i love to learn."
"It'd take alot for my magic to fail me. Magic is in my blood. It moves and defines me. And even if something does manage to take that away I can still do this." He taps Adons cup of whatever and ice glazes over it and freezes solid. "Magics got nothing to do with that. Maybe I can try and teach you some magic and maybe you could teach me how to use one of those." He points to the rapier(s) on Adons side or back.
Dave turns right back around given that the arrows pointed him back to the cafeteria after looking again and waving to tybalt Dave spots Raelle, he casts a few cantrips to freshen up before walking up to her and sitting beside her "you look like you had a worse morning than me, you ok?"
The headmaster leans in a bit.
"Enroll as a student."
Rahz just blinked a few times, then sat back properly in his chair. That...was it? "Well, I was going to do that anyway," he said a bit slowly, and it was very apparent his excitement had lowered quite a considerable amount; was the headmaster not able to perceive the obvious? "Surely...you meant to tell me about any classes or clubs that may be of interest to me?"
Dave turns right back around given that the arrows pointed him back to the cafeteria after looking again and waving to tybalt Dave spots Raelle, he casts a few cantrips to freshen up before walking up to her and sitting beside her "you look like you had a worse morning than me, you ok?"
"Last night's lecture, part two, now in stereo since I got yelled at by both of my parents. Like having to live down the inevitable embarrassing jokes isn't bad enough. Sorry, I'm in a pretty crappy mood right now."
"That's better. Almost civilized even. So. What was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
Sun smiles as well as a baboon can smile.
I like you we could have hours of debate and I must admit I would most likely loose. but how did I go from statue to flesh? well, I am not a real Baboon.
Sun looks around to see if Lang is coming back and being sure that he is not
You see I have chosen the Baboon form to be a familiar form for Lang to accoiate with wisdom as is our culture. but in truth I am nothing more than a spirit. I am a spirit in physical form. Now you may wonder who's spirit. well I am Lang's spirit. I am the physical form of all of Lang's past lives guideing him in his present one. Lang is a bridge between these two worlds, the physical one and the spiritual one. the statue you saw before is how I originated in this world. what you see now is a part of Lang's past using the stone statue as a vessel to interact. In our culture I am described as a Foo creature.
as the two apprach a tree outside the cafeteria
Ahh here is a nice spot and I see another will join us. Hello Dom, I would like to introduce...you never did say your name did you
Dave moves in to hug her "that really sucks, got to admit it does, if any of those pricks make fun of you for last night tell me and I'll be sure to help them cool off " a slight mist comes out of his mouth.
Rahz just blinked a few times, then sat back properly in his chair. That...was it? "Well, I was going to do that anyway," he said a bit slowly, and it was very apparent his excitement had lowered quite a considerable amount; was the headmaster not able to perceive the obvious? "Surely...you meant to tell me about any classes or clubs that may be of interest to me?"The headmaster leans in a bit.
"Enroll as a student."
"Take your pick, Mr. Endoril. You'll find people behave differently in History of Agartha than they do in Botany. There are plenty of clubs to choose from, and several classes that may be of more interest than your classmates behavior. You seem to be a bit more focused than the typical new student, so why don't you look at this list and mark which ones you'd like to take for reasons other than.. I believe the term is people-watching?" He slids a sheet of paper with the various classes on it over to Rahz. "You can have six classes, or five and a study period. Basic P.E. is required for all students, unless the choose to take Advanced Physical Education."
"A map of the school will be provided, but if you find yourself lost and it's no help, you can always ask another student or teacher for help. If no one else is around, simply touch a wall, think of your destination, and follow the flashing arrows that will appear. Now, last question. Are you open to the idea of having a roommate? I've got a few other students who had roommates that graduated or left last semester, so there are some openings."
lang eventually arrives at the tree with his breakfast and the bag for Sun.
he hands some fruit to Johnny
I though I would get this for you since I did leave you alone with Sun, so I guess its really a peace offering then
Sun just gives Lang a freindly glare.
hey Dom, first day of classes then isn't it.
Dave moves in to hug her "that really sucks, got to admit it does, if any of those pricks make fun of you for last night tell me and I'll be sure to help them cool off " a slight mist comes out of his mouth.
Raelle shrinks away from the mist. "I, uh, appreciate the offer, but it's fine. I'm sure someone else will do something embarrassing soon. And then it's yesterday's news," she said, sounding like she was trying to convince herself. "I hope."
"That's better. Almost civilized even. So. What was it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"It's not much," Kam says quickly, cutting off Taron as he opens up a desk drawer and pulls out a mishappen, burnt black opal, "but we did manage to get some from Ianthe." His hand becomes demon claws before he digs his fingers into the object and wrenches at it. It gives and awful groan before it opens. The inside is in much better condition than the out. Brass filligree lines a small mirror, and what was probably clockwork at one time fills the lower half.
"We think it was a music box once, but nothing we tried to do to fix it could get it to work."
