he he ok sure let's go with that.… You and your science-y stuff. Hey I've been meaning to ask. What do you and your 'culture' believe happens to your spirit when you die?" He is very curious looking.
“your ghost you mean? Well not ever one gets one, sone stay true organic yiu know, call themselves the expendable, that say it adds more to life, but most do get one, for backing up and storage that kind of thing, then when life gets to dull you just self wipe, go into sleep or join a group mind basically , you can go for a virtual afterlife, you know heaven, hell that kind of thing but its very uncommon, kind of thing less evolved civil,s do. why you ask?”
The Masked man barely flinches from the intense heat and then moves with rediculous grace and speed straight toward the wall
"If you did not want to buy from you, you should have said so..."
Ace knocks on the door to the observatory, "Hey Tyrrin, sorry I'm late, my last class ran a bit over" He then waits for her to let him up.
Vai blinks in front of where the masked man was heading. "You have learned things here you were not supposed to. You are trespassing. Surrender. Now. Or we will force you to."

"I dunno you're jusf so exotic and I wondered what your culture believes of different things being all 'advanced' and 'sophisticated' and better than us and stuff. If you've gone past the simple things in life. A lot of the best part of life is great because you dont know how it works. That's why I love magic. I doesn't have specific laws so it doesn't have specific limits. It makes the previously impossible, possible. To me our magic is all about imagining what you want and letting yourself have it.
Vai blinks in front of where the masked man was heading. "You have learned things here you were not supposed to. You are trespassing. Surrender. Now. Or we will force you to."
He steps into your shadow and is gone
Suddenly Johnny is very serious, s/he looks at Ty
“Advanced? never realy thought about it, but today i meet a young girl who had been left alone to look after her dying grandmother, nothing some simple antibiotics could not fix but a six year old child did not know that,'s she had been left to find fire wood and dig for roots. We arranged for some one to look after her, and gave her what she need, freedom from poverty and starvation. My tech and your magic means little if it dos not set us free from the basic dehumanizeing factors in life. There is no such thing as gods just beings playing at it, trust me Ty I know a few, so be careful with that little life in your hands, you are to it as we are to them”
::“you shame me”::
::“I shame us both”::
Then just as it came it left and johnny is smiles and light again
"... Mom?" Vai says worriedly, unsure what to do. She takes a deep breath, and closes her eyes. ::Lumos?::

Then just as it came it left and johnny is smiles and light again
"That's why I want to be able to talk to him so it doesn't have to be that way. We can just be cool with each other like you and me. We are equal and talk and do stuff it's just that one is alott smarter and stronger than the other. And Jer wouldn't be alone if I have to do things without him. I'm glad you could help her like that with medicine and stuff. Who did you find to help her that couldn't already? Did you just pull someone out of thin air? Now that would be magic."
"... Mom?" Vai says worriedly, unsure what to do. She takes a deep breath, and closes her eyes. ::Lumos?::
She walked up to the door and put her hand on the ring, preparing to pull it open and stopped.
"I'm not sure I want to open this door," she said, hesitating.
Phaezeriel walks over to her, standing a little away from the trapdoor, and puts one hand on her shoulder again. Warmth, strength, and comfort floods out from his touch and his voice is full of compassion, "I know. It is intimidating. You are thinking that if you open that door everything will change; that there will be no going back." A sad smile curves his mouth, "There is already no going back, Raelle. I will be here to help you, but until you can control your gift enough to keep from losing your entire self, the only choice is to go forward." The sadness leaks out of his smile and a secret joy fills it, "Trust me when I say that this is not something to fear; not here at Avalon where you are loved and valued for who you are rather than who others think you should be. There is strength under that door, and beauty. Before I came here, when I was hunted by my kin and despised by everyone else, I would go inside my mind to my room and look in on the beauty that is my power and I would take from that vision the strength to continue down the path I had chosen."
A considering look crosses Phaezeriel's face, "You are a del Sol, aren't you? Are you also related to Chara?"
"... Mom?" Vai says worriedly, unsure what to do. She takes a deep breath, and closes her eyes. ::Lumos?::
"I'm going upstairs to the lab. I need to be able to access the full security array. I'll try to track him from there."

“In a way, Storm had a child, a fully aware AI and it agreed to look after her, it did not have to or was obliged to, but given how Storm is caring I had a felling a child if its woukd be. Storm has a number of prefabricated drones at any one time and downloading a selfawar AI into then is reltivly simple, but not some thing you do with out need and understanding the applications. Strom and it had I would think a long chat, AIs at that level can say a lot in a short amount of real time. But I do not think we will be doing it again any time soon, it would be crass”
She walked up to the door and put her hand on the ring, preparing to pull it open and stopped.
"I'm not sure I want to open this door," she said, hesitating.

A considering look crosses Phaezeriel's face, "You are a del Sol, aren't you? Are you also related to Chara?"
"Yeah. Chara is my little sister. You know my sister?" she asked, curious. She was mulling over his words as she considered opening the door. He made it sound like something wondrous. But...she still wasn't sure.

"so you can just make a living thing just like *snaps* that?" Confused head tilted to one side look.
::“Rosa local security systems just gone red, thier trying to track an intruder”::
::“local to us?”
::“no, and can not track with out getting in the way”::
::“Ok lockdown and keep me informed”::
“me no, but Storm can, artificial intelligences of that level can, given a blank mind core and drone body of suitable complexitie, also I I'm pleased you call AIs alive, some find that very hard to do Ty”
Johnny carrys on to the room.
“Mind you, we organics can do the same, given sex and time, I hope to have a child one day.
"Yeah. Chara is my little sister. You know my sister?" she asked, curious. She was mulling over his words as she considered opening the door. He made it sound like something wondrous. But...she still wasn't sure.
If anything, the compassion in his expression and voice deepened, "I do not know her, but I heard about her unfortunate situation, and I am working on a way to help Chara be healed; a way to take the pain from her while her bone condition is fixed. I need to find a collection of people who are willing to take a portion of her pain into themselves for the duration."
He gives a little shake and takes a short step back towards the door to the outside, "Would you like to see the place where my power resides? Perhaps seeing it would take some of the mystery and uncertainty from it."

"well yes I kind of assumed you could like any other living thing. . . I'm not entirely sure what I want to do family wise. A relationship would be nice but I don't really want to plan ahead quite that far."
"Yeah. Chara is my little sister. You know my sister?" she asked, curious. She was mulling over his words as she considered opening the door. He made it sound like something wondrous.

He gives a little shake and takes a short step back towards the door to the outside, "Would you like to see the place where my power resides? Perhaps seeing it would take some of the mystery and uncertainty from it."
"Yes, I would like that very much," she said. She seemed to relax more now. Knowing that this person was working on helping Chara made it easier to trust him. And he seemed to really understand.
"And...I'd like to help with that. With what you're working on for Chara. I don't mind if it hurts for a while if it means that Chara doesn't have to hurt anymore."
"Yes, I would like that very much," she said. She seemed to relax more now. Knowing that this person was working on helping Chara made it easier to trust him. And he seemed to really understand.
"And...I'd like to help with that. With what you're working on for Chara. I don't mind if it hurts for a while if it means that Chara doesn't have to hurt anymore."
Phaezeriel smiles a very warm smile, a little wistful, "We can talk about Chara's treatment after we have you squared away."
He turns and walks back to the door to the outside, "If you come with me, then. We have to go to my mind for a little show and tell." Phaezeriel opens the door and steps out into what seems to be a hallway inside Avalon, except that it seems to extend into infinity in either direction with no other doors. Directly across from the door to Raelle's mind was a steel door that seemed to have been scrubbed with sandpaper. There is just a hint of images in the steel that have been almost entirely worn away by the scrubbing, but what little can be seen of them presses against the edges of Raelle's sanity. Phaezeriel leads Raelle to the steel door and opens it, stepping through.
Through the door, Raelle can see a nicely appointed salon. The walls are a dark stone of some kind, rich rugs line the floors, and beautiful tapestries and paintings hang on the walls. There are two very comfortable looking easy chairs sitting near a small hearth where a merry fire is blazing. He turns and with a slight bow and mantling of his wings he gestures for her to enter, "Dear friend, won't you please come in?"
"I'm going upstairs to the lab. I need to be able to access the full security array. I'll try to track him from there."
Ardiente screams in rage and helplessness. It was all over. His secret would be out, his family stripped from the records, shamed and cast out.
Seeking a vent for his frustration, all the feelings of helplessness, of sadness he has experienced during the day, he begins channeling fire into the wall at an alarming rate. The stone around him begin to smash open as his rage reaches a peak. He seems ignorant to any request to stop. Aananda can tell he's overexerting himself, pulling more flame and stone than his body can handle. Overbending was dangerous... it could even kill the bender. Ardiente's rages reaches it's climax as he smashes the ground, turning the whole stone floor of the massive chamber to rubble, flame swirling around him. And then it ends. He slumps forward, unconscious, the fire dissipating, the stone ceasing it's quaking.
"well yes I kind of assumed you could like any other living thing. . . I'm not entirely sure what I want to do family wise. A relationship would be nice but I don't really want to plan ahead quite that far."
"I am not saying any time soon but in a couple of hundred years a child of my own would be nice, as for relationships not really my thing, they get all complicated and needy, don't get me wrong I like sex like any one ease but its the whole expectation of behavioral patrons you know, just seems to bog down a good time."
Johnny walks on for a bit,

Fei was still unsure how all of this had escalated so far out of control, but these were the wages of keeping secrets...good rarely came from doing so. He was, however, eminently relieved that Vai had not come to any harm by the invader's actions with her shadow - hopefully he had just fled the chamber, and would be detained by the security systems shortly.
The young monk picks Ardiente up before he hits the floor. "We will take him to the Infirmary to ensure he is alright," he says to Aananda, looking at Vai quickly for confirmation.
"so you can just make a living thing just like *snaps* that?" Confused head tilted to one side look.
"well yes I kind of assumed you could like any other living thing. . . I'm not entirely sure what I want to do family wise.

Johnny walks on for a bit,
"I guess you and I view this from two different perspectives. I want a relationship not for sex and you want sex without a relationship. So I guess if you plan on living to be hundreds of years old then you guys have evolved past death then?"
"well yes I kind of assumed you could like any other living thing. . . I'm not entirely sure what I want to do family wise.

The young monk picks Ardiente up before he hits the floor. "We will take him to the Infirmary to ensure he is alright," he says to Aananda, looking at Vai quickly for confirmation.
Vai nods, noting the concerned look that Fei had given her in the wake of the intruder's disappearance. "I'm okay Fei. He just went to Asch's realm. I wish he was around more often. I'll be right back Fei." Vai helps Aananda get to her lab much more quickly than she could otherwise with a quick teleport. "He's on the plane of Shadow, I know that much Mom." she adds, before teleporting back to Fei.
"I'm... going to teleport us. Hold on." Vai lightly places both her hands on the two martial arists; one on Fei, and the other (shakily) on the unconscious Ardiente. With a word, they are in the receiving section of the infirmary.
A few expressions happen while Ehos writes his responses. There apparently is understanding, frowning, and then puzzlement.
When he speaks of technology, however, Anahita says, "A tool is pointless, if merely given to someone. Teaching them how to make the tool, first, would be best. Is such being done with all tools, or is it simply being given out? Give a sword to someone without teaching them why, that invites dangerous consequences. Why not simply make magical items that duplicate these efforts without the need for innate magical abilities, or is that what this technology really is, another breath of magic?"
Then, oddly, Anahita seems to stop moving all together, spacing out for a few seconds, two or three, in the direction she was facing after saying the above, then blinking once and returning. He might not have noticed if he wasn't looking her way.
She doesn't appear to be aware of what just transpired, glancing at Ehos after a moment saying, "Can this .. sound, ability, not be managed by you? Perhaps it's a part of your Mother's heritage. You are a performer, are you not? If all your foci are music, and thus, sound, mayhap your subconscious psionic powers are what are at work here, augmenting that which you relate to the most? It is .." she goes quiet again, just another two to three seconds, before returning and acting as if nothing odd just happened.
"I worry that .. classes such as these, do not improve the mind of beings, but merely has them store the understanding, rather than actually help grow individuals. It is a .. concern, but I am a guest here. This is my first school, ever, actually."
'I'm sorry Anahita, that I am unable to answer your questions more fully about the merits of technology, but it is still a somewhat new topic for myself as well. If you inquire of Professor Sunwake - or perhaps her son Jiminy - they would be able to give you a great deal more information than me.' Ehos seems satisfied with that answer. Anahita's questions were good ones, ones he didn't really have an answer to. He glances down at the book they were supposed to be reading. Maybe he should actually study once in a while.
'I suppose it is possible... but I'm not so sure. They manifested in concurrence with an event which reshaped our world, I can't help but feel that the two are tied together somehow. I have tried to exert some level of control over it - this was one of the first things suggested that I try at Avalon. I even have a room in which I can speak freely without worry. Perhaps more experiments are in order.'
'The school has it's flaws, I will admit, but I will also admit to learning a considerable amount since I have come here. I don't know if this makes me a better person, but more knowledge can hardly be a bad thing.' See? Nothing to feel guilty about. Jaiye and Anahita will get along just fine. Besides, how will I keep my eyes off of Jaiye, when she dressed like she does?
Looks perplexed.
"Oh, I thought...ahh, doesn't matter. Did you set all of this up? And,
yes I would very much like to see the vid, please."
"Alright, just let me-" Tyrrin is interrupted by a knock at the door and Ace's voice. "Please come in Casil, the door is unlocked." she calls, tapping away at the keyboard. "I did have some help from Professor Sunwake, with some of the more difficult or technical aspects, but I did it myself for the most part. You're not the only one who has been frequenting the library."
"Good afternoon," she says pleasantly to Ace as he comes in, with only the barest of polite glances away from the monitor.
"Here we are." the events of last night begin to play across the monitor, and the large viewscreen at the other end of the room.

Renkai shouts up to his companion, "what do you see? "
renkai pulls his trusty crossbow out and loads it with a cruelly barbed bolt that is covered in a yellowish grey poison
"Yes, I would like that very much," she said. She seemed to relax more now. Knowing that this person was working on helping Chara made it easier to trust him. And he seemed to really understand.
"And...I'd like to help with that. With what you're working on for Chara. I don't mind if it hurts for a while if it means that Chara doesn't have to hurt anymore."

There is just a hint of images in the steel that have been almost entirely worn away by the scrubbing, but what little can be seen of them presses against the edges of Raelle's sanity. Phaezeriel leads Raelle to the steel door and opens it, stepping through.
Through the door, Raelle can see a nicely appointed salon. The walls are a dark stone of some kind, rich rugs line the floors, and beautiful tapestries and paintings hang on the walls. There are two very comfortable looking easy chairs sitting near a small hearth where a merry fire is blazing. He turns and with a slight bow and mantling of his wings he gestures for her to enter, "Dear friend, won't you please come in?"
Raelle stepped in and looked around. "Thank you for inviting me. It's very different here than it was in my room. Mine was empty....but that felt right. Like....it was supposed to be like that. I think that's what a clear mind means, maybe? At least to me. But this is also nice. Just very different. I never realized people's minds would be so different."
Raelle stepped in and looked around. "Thank you for inviting me. It's very different here than it was in my room. Mine was empty....but that felt right. Like....it was supposed to be like that. I think that's what a clear mind means, maybe? At least to me. But this is also nice. Just very different. I never realized people's minds would be so different."
With a smile, Phaezeriel says, "Everyone's mind is very different. But one thing I have learned is that yours was bare because you have just discovered your psionic power. I have never successfully guided a non-psychic person in the creation of the room in their mind. The ability to come here seems to come with psionic potential. Yours is bare and unadorned because you have just built the room, and have not yet fully moved in."
Phaezeriel walks over to the simple wooden door, which is as far away from the iron door as it is possible to get in this room, "And this is the door to the seat of my power." Phaezeriel turns the knob and beckons Raelle to come closer. When she gets to the door, Phaezeriel swings it wide open. Beyond the door is a dimensionless empty blackness. Inside the void, seeming to be simultaneously just barely too far away to touch and as far away as the stars floats a light. The light is beautiful and warm, and the desire to wrap oneself up in it and be comforted and made safe by it is strong. It seems to be light made of the very stuff of life, compassion, kindness, love of all kinds, and all other "good" emotions. The beauty of the light steals the words from Raelle for just a moment.
Raelle just stands and stares for a long moment.
"Wow."
She had to look away eventually. It was just too much to take.
"My room won't look like that," she said, not sure why she was certain, but very much sure of what she said.
Looks perplexed.
"Oh, I thought...ahh, doesn't matter. Did you set all of this up? And,
yes I would very much like to see the vid, please.""Alright, just let me-" Tyrrin is interrupted by a knock at the door and Ace's voice.

"Here we are." the events of last night begin to play across the monitor, and the large viewscreen at the other end of the room.
"Well done, I'm impressed, Tyrrin."
he walks over to the screen, and watches the destruction of the vessel, face betrayng no emotion."Interesting. Well that is definitely an Imperial vessel, and explains why my datapad saw a signal to connect to..."

"I guess you and I view this from two different perspectives. I want a relationship not for sex and you want sex without a relationship. So I guess if you plan on living to be hundreds of years old then you guys have evolved past death then?"
"Not really evolved past death, we just have means to stay alive longer, Bioengineered and enhanced, but any one who tells you their immortal is lying, The Universality is not immortal so nothing with it can be, also predation, there is always something, some one, out there with the will or means to strip you of any so called immortality. What get most where I am from is just plain boredom, I meet a someone once, who had chosen to die, not just go into sleep but die, no back ups nothing just let their body get old and stop."
Johnny looks at his hands.
"I asked why and the reply shocked me, 'I can think of nothing more to do."
s/he puts s/he hands back down and carry's on, then adds
"Most, you know just put themselves in to long term Storage, endless sleep, Some ship will say its going of to sit some place in space and so to sleep until who knows when, and any one wanted to come can, so they do. Billions of ghosts siting under some rock in space some place just waiting for something other to come along, or fade into a group mind, or die after about 300 to 600 years like the one I talked about."
Johnnys mood gets light again
"I'm only 19 and that sounds all mad to me, but when you can just about do any thing you want, within sociably exceptionable limits then life can ware thin fast I guess. There is a saying back home, 'Its hard work having a good time' I think when life becomes nothing but that, then I would head for a sleeper ship."
Then he adds,
"Could be wile I'm with Storm, I think he was on the way to being a sleeper ship, hes been around for ages, and then I thin when I said, I had this mad idea to go onto this area of space, he kind of jumped at the chance to do something new."
Ace nods a greeting at Ty and Ghalen, but remains quiet since it appears something important is going on.
Once the replay is shown from last night, Ace asks "Imperial vessel equals Empire which means really bad, right? Is there anything I can do to help? I don't know much of anything about all this super technology, but my home world had a fair amount of lesser. Plus I am a very fast learner. If nothing else, send me to the library, and I'll be sure to find something useful"

"so it's just you and your ship? Traveling companions. A come with me I'll show you the universe kind of thing? Doesn't it get lonely just you two when you move on to a new placeand leave other people? I swear I've heard this before somewhere."
"That was just a replay of what happened last night, Casil. The only thing I'm concerned about now is why that ship was so close to us. That was no scout ship, it was a full-fledged warship, albeit a small one. Where was the rest of it's battle group?"
Tyrrin finally breaks away from the monitor, standing and facing the two men in the room. "Perhaps later Casil, now I believe it is time for lunch... I really must work on bringing more furnishings up to this room." The observatory is fairly bare except for a couple chairs near a window.
She conjures lunch for the trio, mostly consisting of bland staple-type foods: rice, oatmeal, bread, with a little bit of salad. No meat.
"Casil, what do you know of Nature spirits?" she asks as they sit to eat, remembering Ace's offer of help.

Johnny laughs
"Storms not my 'ship' I don't own him, no I don't like being to long in a place, or tide to things, other then bed posts!, hehe,"
Johnny jokes
"narr space is big you know, and its more looking for distractions, some out side the CULTURE say we Organics or nothing but pets for AIs like Storm. But I don't thinks so, as smart as he is hes just like you and me, looking at life and thinking, 'what the hell is this all about' so wile be both work on that, we Travel as companions yes, going to places like here, and being here, I will tell you is nuts, talk of 'souls' and 'afterlives', 'Magic' you know, kind of freaking me out."
Johnny Shakes his head as if to clear it.
" Ty to us outside this area of space it's just one big mystery, a few go in but like, next to no one ever comes back and even comes back."
Johnny spreads his hands each time s/he says the word 'mystery'
"You know when I say 'mystery' I mean 'mystery'!, Ty something happened and I learned of here, So I asked a load of ships, 'Hay will you take me to this place?' and I go nothing but Polite 'NO's', I'm thinking 'whats with you guys, you go all over the place', see Ty 'mystery' then I start looking any one who's been, 'O yes' say the data banks just a few, but find them, no way, it was like they had just disappeared, and I looked real hard, again,'mystery', then I meet Storm, I tell him about here and hes says, 'Ok ill take you, sounds fun' and that was that, Then we are zipping around this volume of space, you know exploring when this mysterious guy shows up in the middle of nowhere and gives me a one off pass to this school, Says 'You need to go find stuff out', Man, Sooooooo 'mystery' So I came, but freaked but its fun and"
looking at ty
"I get to meet cool cats like you"

No wind and David yes you canDave flies up to get a better look, true seeing and arcane sight active as always. 1d20+34Below is Sand and desert for miles, far far far away white walls can be seen going up into the sky.
"not much, there's this white thing in the distance, want me to carry you? If I do we can make it there in a few miniutes I think"
The white walls are on four sides, in front, behind, left and right David.
You see nothing but Sand all around upto where you think the walls hit the ground in the far distance.
