"That would do it. It would however, make it harder to question them. How about you remove a less vital body part?"

"You say that like I can't talk to corpses."
On the hunt for food, the stealthy apex predator searches for easy prey from among the rafters...
He chuckles
"You say that like I can't talk to corpses."
"You act like there isn't a chance he could come back. I'm not doubting that you'd be able to control him if he did, but you'd only get the chance if he choose to get his revenge right then and there."

Hold up his hands
"Oh no no no! I don't have to re-animate them to talk to them...I can talk to their spirit, willing or otherwise."Sighs
"I'm just not used to the idea of leaving an enemy alive to come back at you later...but I guess we'll want to make sure he's the only one."
Nasima listens as the boasts go flying back and forth between everybody, her head moving like she's watching a tennis match. Eventually she yawns mightily and shakes her head. "Ooooookay, well, I'll...just see you guys around. I'd say see you later but I'll be in the healers' tent so that seems unlikely."
She stands and wanders off, heading towards Ephebe's quarters. I hope she's not alone. She's not supposed to be. The sylph is relieved to hear activity in Phebe's room. She knocks gently on the door. "Ephebe? You in there? It's Nasima, can I come in?"

"Come in, 'Sima," she called out. When Nasima opens the door she sees Ephebe dressed in a pink T-shirt and cargo pants kneeling beside her bed and reaching underneath it.
"Stupid little....grrr....er....sorry, 'Sima, not mad at you. One of my pockets wasn't fastened closed and a bunch of spell components rolled underneath the bed."
"Oh! Heehee. It's okay, I didn't think you were talking to me. Nice shirt!" Nasima speaks softly and several small breezes begin swirling around under the bed, push the entire contents out into the light where Ephebe can get them.

A small pile of tiny diamonds comes rolling out and Ephebe quickly gathers them up and puts them in one of her many pockets, this time making sure to fasten the flap.
"Thanks! That was a lot easier way to do that." ^.^
"Oh, and thank you. Heh. I'm not used to getting compliments on my clothes. Fieri always gets frustrated with me cause I keep wearing Jimmy's old clothes that he grew out of. He was nice enough to change the colors for me though. She thinks I should dress more girly."
"What if we cast a binding spell on him to keep him from getting teleported out?"
"What if we cast a binding spell on him to keep him from getting teleported out?"
"Sounds like a good plan. You happen to know a spell like that?"
"Of course I do. I just need to study my spells for a little while is all." Asch says as he pulls out a datapad and begins to scroll through it until he finds the correct spell. "This spell will definitely do the trick."

Nasima rolls her eyes. "Pffft. Girls! Ignore 'er. I mean I'm sure she means well, in her own way, but you should dress how you're comfortable. Pink does suit you, though. So, will I need anything in this healer's tent, or will they supply whatever's required? 'Cos I don't really have anything in the way of healing supplies..."

Ephebe giggled. "Thsnks, 'Sima."
"Oh, yeah, they'll have all the supplies you need, don't worry about that. Nobody expects you to have healing supplies of your own. Especially since you're not a cleric. You'll mostly be acting as an assistant. Lots of go grab that or hold this here."
She stood looking at the playing field for what should be an innocent game, a chance for students to blow off steam, and her stomach churned with fear. Two of her three children were going to be standing directly in harm's way tonight, and she wasn't comfortable with those odds. But if they didn't do this one of these days they were going to find out his plans just a few seconds too late and she'd lose her daughter for certain. She closed her eyes and focused on breathing. Nothing more than breathing as she let her awareness spread through the stones in search of any clues.
Jiminy paced back and forth impatiently in front of the storage 'closet'. He hated waiting. Pheebs and the shapeshifter guy were supposed to meet him here so he could bend reality enough to let Spin impersonate Ephebe in the contest. It irked him that he couldn't be in there to protect his sister. He kicked the wall in an attempt to vent his frustration.
"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go see if Kamenwati is ready to go. See you all soon." Taron says as he stands and leaves the cafeteria with the other students. He didn't actually need to go, but he wanted too. Things were going to be a bit more dangerous than normal during the Hunt...
He met Kam leaving their room and without a word they both went to wait for the others in front of the Hunt's door.
"Well are we all ready for an entertaining night?" Asch asks as he tightens one of his ammo belts making sure it wouldn't get in his way.
Lysander got the signal to leave for the Hunt and slowly slid the sleeping trio away from him so he could stand. He stretched as he got Ruji to come and watch his cousins. As the tressym settled down next to the children, Lysander checked his Hunting gear. Everything was in perfect shape.
He waited near the entrance, planning to make sure Ephebe saw him before he went in.
He stops Taron before he leaves and drops a status on him. He goes off to find Jiminy for the same.

She gives a wicked grin. "Oh, most definitely."
When the group breaks ranks from the cafeteria, Fei returns to the Materials and Supplies building to help move the extra medical supplies shipped in for the snipe hunt to the pavilion tent that would serve as the event's Infirmary.
After a few hours, everything is stocked and/or brought online, and those assigned to staff the pavilion start to trickle in.
He stops Taron before he leaves and drops a status on him. He goes off to find Jiminy for the same.
He was still pacing in front of the storage closet.
"Hey, Krays. You seen Ephebe and Spin? They're supposed to meet me here...Oh, yeah sure, status? No prob. Knock yourself out."
Ephebe tilted her head like she was listening to something.
"Jimmy's starting to get antsy. Guess I better go," she said reluctantly.
Spin, in his usual form, is waiting in the hallway for Ephebe and Nasima, "Hey, ready when you are Ephebe."
As they head out to meet Jiminy, he looks around them to make sure no one is around to over-hear, then whispers, "So I guess I should wait until the games start to shift into a duplicate of you, huh? Don't want to make it too obvious what's happening."

She nodded. "Preferably under cover of an obscuring mist. That way you can shift and I can crawl into the rope trick and no one the wiser," she whispered back.
"There you guys are! Finally. Geez. Cutting it a bit fine aren't you? Come on, in here. Hurry up."
Jiminy ushered them into the large supply room. He'd set up a target on the far wall.
"Okay, Pheebs, load it with a cure light or something. I need you to use an actual spell for this. You. Hold your hand over hers on the gun and copy her movements as best you can," he said, glaring at Spin, "and I'll copy her abilities onto you. Temporarily anyways."
"On Three."

"Just in case..."
casts Status
Ephebe pulled out her Caster and took aim at the target, waiting for Spin to get into position before starting the count.
"One. Two."
She pulled the trigger as she said three having sat through too many discussion about whether on three meant actually on three or one, two, three and then go not to know which Jimmy meant. As she pulled the trigger and the spell went off she felt a sensation somewhat similar to being liquefied by lightning. At least that's what she assumed that it would feel like.
"OW!!!"
"Uh, sorry," he said sheepishly. "I guess I was feeling a bit nervous about the hunt tonight, and ummm...well, you'll definitely be able to shoot that Caster, Spin...and, er, possibly some other abilities too. Not really sure. Ummm...dude? You okay?"

Spin reels at the shock… as if his already-mutable body had just been liquified, twisted, and then re-congealed in less time than it takes to blink. He staggers back a bit, holding his head, trying to sort out the jumble that is now his brain. It feels almost like someone else is living in there… somewhere tucked back in the back of his mind.
Then suddenly Ephebe's mind is assaulted by a non-stop flood of imagery and sensation… as if every thought that crosses Spin's addled mind is shot directly into hers as well.
"Um… why does it feel like someone's in my head." Spin mutters, still clutching his head, but Ephebe is startled to realize she heard the thought before he voiced it.. but not in his usual telepathic manner...

"Must resist urge.. to decapitate.. the bouncy one..."
Asch raises an eyebrow at the hyper girl. "Ok she's definitely first." He mutters to himself.
As the pavilion starts to fill, the primary healers and their nurses start checking the student volunteers for their medical aptitudes. Fei is shunted into a dressing area, put into some scrubs, and sent to the cleaning station to get ready for the first round of injuries...
"Unnnh. That's...disorienting. Umm...It would seem that Jimmy has unintentionally strengthened our mental connection. I can hear all of your thoughts. I mean ALL of them."
