Ace smiles at the halfling he had met on the first day.
"Hi Professor Agave, I'm Casil. If you have a few moments before class starts, I wanted to talk to you about what's happening with Professor Reading. Tyrrin came to me, and asked for my help, since I told her I have an extensive, encyclopedic knowledge of all sorts of different things. Anyways, she apparently has a Kami bound to her. Ty said you would be the perfect person to come speak to about trying to help the professor"
"Ah, so that's why you are here early. I was actually the one who told Professor Reading it might be a Kami, but having never seen it I couldn't be sure. They are strange spirits, even to me. Why do the choose the wards they do? Why do they switch wards sometimes? Oh, and I'm speaking of wards as in something or someone they've chosen to protect, not wards like the school has." A potted fern seems to sway toward the professor on it's own. She goes over to water it immediately. "I can help with it whenever I am needed. What did you come here to talk about, specifically?"
Renkai skipped out on math class while the fat professor had his flabby back turned... He was currently dripping candle wax all over the floor in a hallway
it will be hilarious when someone steps on this :)
"As for your special diet, I'm afraid you'll be getting a myriad of different ones to eat. The emotions of typical students often flutuate wildly, but when you add in the past some of the students have had due to thier abilities... Well, you won't be going hungry."
"We do have an Advanced Alchemy course, but I think you may already be capable of passing it fairly quickly, given your previous teacher. Students here have a choice between six classes or five classes and a study period." He slides a piece of paper over to Settro. "This has a list and brief description of the classes we offer here. You and the shantak can look them over and get back to me later if you wish."
"I believe this one has been severely wronged, perhaps its ward destroyed or corrupted. It seems like its lashing out in anger, at anything it can. I don't know enough about them however, to figure out why or how it bonded to Ms Reading. If you can assist me in that, even pointing me to some books in the library, I might be able to uncover something useful"

It was a free period for Rahz, and he was bored. He also had an itch that wouldn't stop, and he knew only one cure for it; however, he knew that if he scratched it, he'd potentially reveal a little too much about himself. He found himself wandering the halls, looking for anything interesting as he listened to the wind.
As he listened, though, he heard something that was certainly interesting; like drops hitting the floor, but with a rather distinct sound. Following it, he stumbled upon Renkai from behind as he was dripping his magic candle; obviously a magic item. Oh, how the temptation was strong...just one little attempt couldn't hurt, could it?
After he was hidden safely behind a corner, but still rather close to Renkai, Rahz readied himself, took in a silent, deep breath, then used his revelation to trigger a Primal Magic Event. Instead of a drop of magical wax, something rather insane and fun was about to happen.

Renkai's mind was focused completely on his prank, and doesn't hear the approach of anyone...then prepares to cast grease on the waxy floor...
[to Mr sine] I am sorry....God rest your bucket.
d100
Renkai's spell goes off without a hitch and then he chuckles to himself... which then is heard 30 seconds later...
"What the?" and it happened again... sounds were off... Renkai quickly scales a wall and looks down from the rafters watching to see if someone falls for the trap of Greased candlewaxed floor
Johnny throws a book down in frustration.
::"This is nuts, this book on basic magic and this one on the fundamentals of magic, completely contradict each other, and half of it is in 'Magic' text I can't read!"::
::"Your not the only one, its hyper dimensional so just keeps shifting when ever I scan it, so no idea, so there is the 1st thing you need to learn, how to read this stuff."::
::"Ok displace back all but one drone and Ill see if any one can help me, with this, Ty seems to know something about all this magic stuff, Ill go find him."::
All but one Drone pops away.
Johnny gets up and places his hand on the wall, Arrows come into being showing the way to Ty, Johnny starts to follow them.
Sheess looks at the twin towers of water spinning across the surface of the lake in mild awe
"The water does anything that I ask, If I provide the resource for it to move as such it will comply as well as it can." Sorun replies
She nodded. "As ready as I'm gonna be," she said looking nervously at the cracks developing in the floor.
Once Raelle has created a pair of comfortable chairs in her room, Phaezeriel sits in one and gestures for Raelle to sit in the other. "Best get comfortable, this may take some time."
Once Raelle is seated, Phaezeriel leans slighty toward her and his eyes focus on her intently. "I am going to form a connection with you here inside the room of your mind. Here, I can make a link to your innermost self. I will help you forge the pathways in your mind that will allow you to use your power safely and to keep it from coming into this part of your mind."
A nimbus of multicolored light sprang up around Phaezeriel's head and stretched towards Raelle's head. A quiet chime sounded in the room and rang on and on as Raelle felt Phaezeriel's mental presence pressing close again. And then he was there, inside her mind inside the room of her mind. "Follow me." Phaezeriel whisks through the pathways of her mind, clearly familiar with how the mind maps psionic power.
Johnny is following the arrows when....
Slips on s/he ass, "What the f**kkkkkkkkkkkk"
As the sound comes back way to late, tying to get up s/he slips again.
thinking it better to stay flat on s/he back Johnny keeps still so as not to slip again, then looks around s/he to see what s/he on, then around to see if any one can help.
::"You want me to displace you"::
::"No, I'm fine just what is this STUFF??:::
Johnny moves just s/he hand to feel the greece under s/he.
"What.. is.... this... stuff....?"
She nodded. "As ready as I'm gonna be," she said looking nervously at the cracks developing in the floor.** spoiler omitted **
Raelle was confused. It felt like she was looking into a reflection of a reflection of a reflec.....yeah, it was better not to continue on that path. But Phaezeriel seemed to understand what was going on and what was necessary so she did as she was told.
Morrivan laughed and clapped. "Very good, boys. You're getting it, Lang. The trick is to learn to only move what you need when you need and in the way you need. I think that Sorun can help you understand better because he's very in tune with the water. He understands what it wants to do and can ask it to do what he wants as well. In essence that's what waterbending is, we just use our ki instead of arcane energies."

"What.. is.... this... stuff....?"
then as you start to slow down a large sounds from a long way away and rushes in setting your ears ringing momentarily
then from a long way away there is a laugh that is bouncing around to room oddly, hesitating in places and coming back in quickly
Morrivan laughed and clapped. "Very good, boys. You're getting it, Lang. The trick is to learn to only move what you need when you need and in the way you need.

Sorun looks back at her and grins forcing alot of magical energy into the tower of water, simultaniously freezing it and making it animate...
then slumps exahausted... Maybe I shouldnt have shown off...
"Now, for 'your' shantak -does she have a name I can use?- you might want to suggest she enroll in out elementary school. It's for younger students, mostly, but it could help her learn a lot of the basic material, including how to read and speak Common."
The Headmaster's consciousness brushes briefly against your own, just long enough for him to realize what is happening and retreat to keep from interrupting your session with Raelle. You do get the feeling he wishes to talk with you though.
Johnny is a bit shocked at the sound, but his Lace stops its from doing any real harm then as the sounds carry on being odd until the laugh.
"HAHA.... Ya.... got... me.... but... now... I... get... to... get... you... back... you... wan't.... know.... where.... or.... when.... so... my... pranking... chum..., its.... on...."
Bluff check to make the Pranker think Johnny knows who it was.
Bluff
::"Displace"::
::"O yes"::
Johnny winks out of being and appears next to Storm by the lake, s/he gets up and strips off the greece covered clothing and throws it in Storm, nude s/he dives into the lake to wash off the rest of the gunk.
head popping up.
"Do you get who it was storm?"
"No, you left the drone reading books remember"
Johnny gets out and puts a body suit on.
"O well, next time ill keep a look out, must have been 'magic' it was such an odd felling, and who ever did it, ho ho they are going to get soooo pranked, well still have to find someone who can read that magic text."
Johnny looks around the lake,
"Look they gave me a magic room, but I just do not like the idea of being in it, not after what just happened, Storm, I'm going to sleep out here with you if that's ok, could you make me some blankets and stuff.
"they will be ready by tonight, but the rooms may be fine"
"Narr I think I have had all the 'Magic' fun I want for one day"
Johnny headed back into the school.
Johnny Takes no notice of the water bending class that's underway.
Take 10 = DC
"yeah yeah yeah.... Bring it on" the disembodied voice replies 27 seconds later "if you can find me"
Renkai jumps down carefully and slips out of that particular hallway...

″she is undecided on her non-alklo name, last i checked. she seemed to have taken a liking to ″Vishkra″ lately, so let's use that. I apologize for being late- star travel took longer then expected.
"That's a lovely thought, but while I am sure no one here, or anywhere, for that matter, wants a full-scale war with the Empire, some choices, some actions can not be undone. We no longer have the luxury of wish, we have what our choices have left us.""Oh, my! Your Worship, that's an entirely different skillset. However, I can assure you my training was quite thurough." he smirks.
"Whether or not your training was thorough enough will be judged by me." Tyrrin quips back easily, before she realizes exactly what she had just said, blushing but stubbornly keeping her head high. Her mind was racing. Gods! I'm as bad as Ehos! What's next, climbing into whatever man's bed who will take me? Where is my decorum? Where is my restraint?
He allows the blush to continue for a bit, then smiles and winks at Tyrrin.
"I think we should go on a date first, at least, wouldn't you agree? You're quite fun when you let your guard down." he's all smiles, but unlike before, there's no 'gotcha', it's all good natured.
He allows the blush to continue for a bit, then smiles and winks at Tyrrin.
"I think we should go on a date first, at least, wouldn't you agree? You're quite fun when you let your guard down." he's all smiles, but unlike before, there's no 'gotcha', it's all good natured.
He's being serious isn't he? Well... why not? Is the world going to end if you go on a date? Well... she glances at the telescope. No. Probably not. "I. Alright. I've never been on a date though." No need to tell him that she'd never known a man's touch either. She was already vulnerable enough. She didn't know why she was even agreeing to the date in the first place. Was she so weak? "I'd prefer it if it made public knowledge either... Ghalen."
He chuckles
"This isn't a negotiation, Tyrrin. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. I will not hold you to anything. You deserve a better asking out than on a dare, methinks. Puzzling that you'd ask it not be made public, though. I must really put off an 'ogre' vibe or something..."
He smirks
"Anyway, all bluster aside, I would like to have dinner with you, I'd genuinely like to know more about you, and we got off on a bad start when we both arrived here. I'd like to make it up to you."
He pauses
"And no, don't worry about the sex talk. It was ill of me to suggest it, even in jest. I took that too far, my apologies."
He chuckles

He pauses
"And no, don't worry about the sex talk. It was ill of me to suggest it, even in jest. I took that too far, my apologies."
She smiles. A real, genuine smile. "Well, you have to understand my position. Suitors usually come to me bearing gifts, and the courtship attempt is very formal. Perhaps there is something intriguing about being asked out... 'on a dare', as you put it. And I simply don't want my personal life becoming a topic of discussion in the school, if it's all the same to you. As for dinner... yes. I would like that as well. Perhaps something down in the town? I have some coin, I don't think they take Imperial Credits." Tyrrin leaves the comment about sex to the side. The less said about that the better, as the colour was being slow to drain from her face.
He nods
"Oh, right. Sometimes I forget you're the daughter of one of the leaders here. I can imagine formality loses it's appeal after a while.
Drow are all about formality as well. So, I get it."
Smiles
"Well, great. I'm looking forward to it. When would you like to go?"
"I do not believe I have any responsibilities tonight, though at some point today I must speak with Professor Sunwake about linking my proximity warning system to her main system." she says pensively. "That is, if you are free for this evening as well."
"I am. Perhaps you can ask the good professor if we may borrow a skimmer as well, while you're there?"
Vai breaths out, relieved that her newly discovered cousin was going to be okay. The Sunwake family seemed to grow ever larger with each passing week. She looked at Fei and realized that she didn't know exactly who had been addressing her either. "Are you going to stay here to tend to him, meldanya? I should go help my Mom... even if Lumos can't see him where he is, I should still do something." Vai asks of Fei, hoping to be saved the embarrassment of addressing him so plainly by using an elvish word.
** spoiler omitted **
Fei nods (and smiles in acknowledgement of his new 'honorific').
"I do not think we will be resuming our training session today, so I will remain here. My Alternative Health and Medcicine study here in the Infirmary is my next class anyway - I do not think they will mind my presence for an extra hour." (^-^)
Fei nods (and smiles in acknowledgement of his new 'honorific').
"I do not think we will be resuming our training session today, so I will remain here. My Alternative Health and Medcicine study here in the Infirmary is my next class anyway - I do not think they will mind my presence for an extra hour." (^-^)
"Alright. See you at dinner then?" she asks. Another kiss on the cheek might be too much for her nerves to handle right now, so Vai gently squeezes Fei hand for comfort before vanishing from the infirmary.
Vai appears in her Mom's lab, hurrying over to the holoscreen Aananda is working on. "Anything I can do?"

The Headmaster's consciousness brushes briefly against your own, just long enough for him to realize what is happening and retreat to keep from interrupting your session with Raelle. You do get the feeling he wishes to talk with you though.
Ryo feels a slight nudge in response. It is clear that Phaezeriel has understood, but is quite busy and will respond when he can.
Raelle was confused. It felt like she was looking into a reflection of a reflection of a reflec.....yeah, it was better not to continue on that path. But Phaezeriel seemed to understand what was going on and what was necessary so she did as she was told.
Phaezeriel led Raelle to a part of her mind that she knew not well. It was structured in a very haphazard manner, as if it had been put together by accident. She could sense that in this part of her innermost mind were the connections to that beautiful power that Phaezeriel had so gently insisted that she open. She sensed also the potential outlets to which that power could be safely put.
As they moved through the seat of her power, a not of surprise crept into Phaezeriel's thoughts, ::Oh! No wonder it was starting to run away from you, Raelle. Your power has bloomed fully formed into your mind. Rather than growing into it slowly as one usually does, you were trying to control a fully developed psionic ability. It is akin to expecting a five-year old child to control a battle trained stallion with its fighting blood up. You did very well keeping it as controlled as you did.:: His tone was admiring; Phaezeriel was impressed by Raelle's strength of will.
Phaezeriel stopped before the haphazard connections to her power, ::Here you must make these orderly and strong, like so.:: Glowing blue lines spring into being showing an outline of what Raelle must change to make the interface with her power strong and safe.
This continued for what seemed to be days. Phaezeriel showed Raelle what must be done, but she had to re-form the connections and patterns in her own mind, ::Move these ones here...Don't let it get away from you...Good! Do it again...These are next.:: As the subjective time wore on and she became very tired, Phaezeriel resorted to convincing, encouraging, cajoling, and at times outright bullying to keep her at the task.
Finally it was done. Phaezeriel drew Raelle with him out of her inner mind, back to the room she had made. Phaezeriel placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, "I am going to go back to my own mind now, I need you to wake up and talk to me for a moment, okay?"
"Don't worry about your late arrival, it happens all the time. Sometimes new students show up halfway through the term."
"I am. Perhaps you can ask the good professor if we may borrow a skimmer as well, while you're there?"
Tyrrin raises an eyebrow. "A pilot as well? You do have an extensive list of skills." Tyrrin grins, leaving Ghalen fairly sure that she meant to call back to their previous discussion of his 'skills'.
As Johnny and Renkai fled from the hallway, Rahz remained where he was, writing away in his notebook about the results, grinning to himself. The noise of the pen running along the paper was also affected by the Event, but since it was such a light noise, only those who were really paying attention to it could hear it...if they were about 50 feet away.
"I believe this one has been severely wronged, perhaps its ward destroyed or corrupted. It seems like its lashing out in anger, at anything it can. I don't know enough about them however, to figure out why or how it bonded to Ms Reading. If you can assist me in that, even pointing me to some books in the library, I might be able to uncover something useful"
"You need to learn where the professor was when she stumbled upon the kami. From there you need to look at the history of the area to see if any event could have been the one that enraged the spirit. Natural disasters are a good place to start, but so are and thing people were doing at the time."
"Don't worry about your late arrival, it happens all the time. Sometimes new students show up halfway through the term."
¨alright. I'll show this to viskra, and ask about working with the alchemy teacher." he wraps his wings around himself and puts his shirt and cloak back on. "necessary or not, i prefer pepolento get to know me before they see me like this." he says, as he re-dresses. " so, can we keep this secret for a while?"
