"I'm sorry." Ardiente says to the one trying to calm him down, his voice tight with... pain, fatigue, anger? All three? "I've done too many reckless things today. I'm going back to bed." Ardiente does in fact return to his cubicle. Well, it was his fault for not making sure there was no eavesdroppers. He was spent. All his anger, his hope, the pain of betrayal.
::Just... leave me be, for now. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'm sick of hearing about how Firebirds are wrong. We just have to survive.:: All the anger is gone from Ardiente's spotty telepathy, leaving sort of a hollow tone.
He shrugs "Alright then, you should get some then rest." Dom looking to Ace and Ginni. "Well i belive I will be taking my leave as well. Now that I know Ginni is feeling better." He looks over to Tamina. You were just about to get some dinner before we got side track, right? If so I know I'm not as good of company as Ginni but would you care to join me?
"Oh, go on, Tami, it's not like skipping a meal will help me....and you know they're just going to put me in isolation for a couple hours just like always...sitting outside my door doesn't help either."
"Caught you later Johnny. I'm going to stick around here for a moment but I'll caught up." Dom waves his hand once to Johnny as he departs. "Well now that everyone is happy again. I hate to kill the mood but perhaps one of the medical staff has an idea of why Ginni's hunger is getting worse?"Did you say it was getting worse?" the healer asked, taking notes. "Gods forbid..."
Stopped his movement to reply to the healer. "She summed it up pretty well I'm not sure if that's getting worse or not but Ginni really didn't have much control over her self."
"Oh, go on, Tami, it's not like skipping a meal will help me....and you know they're just going to put me in isolation for a couple hours just like always...sitting outside my door doesn't help either."
He shrugs "Alright then, you should get some then rest." Dom looking to Ace and Ginni. "Well i belive I will be taking my leave as well. Now that I know Ginni is feeling better." He looks over to Tamina. You were just about to get some dinner before we got side track, right? If so I know I'm not as good of company as Ginni but would you care to join me?
Tamina smiled. "Alright, Ginni. If you're sure. I'll come back and check on you later."
"And I would be honored to join you for dinner, good sir," she answered Dom with mock formality.
"If you aren't human, why are you even bothering with clothing? I assume you can merely reshape your form, aren't you implying you are a demon?" She motions briefly while he tears up his clothing.
Then she falls quiet, pausing on the eating in case her ability to resist the horrible and terrifying threats he'd mentioned before, failed her, and more importantly, it would be somewhat embarrassing to have sushi barf all over her only piece of clothing.
after making sure no-one else could see, he cuts two long slits, and spreads Angel-like wings that were folded across hs chest under his shirt through them, but made of black crow feathers. his hair hair a sickly yellow, and has his left eye red and his right green. his left arm covers in green scales, and his right is red demon hide. both handshad small claws on them. there is a bulge going around him under the shirt,witch unwrapped,was a long sinuous tail, looking like a tentacle. Despite any of this, he is VERY compelling, and his voice is soft and kind. "uh... yea." he blushes a little. "this is me." he smells mildly of brimstone and blood.
He smiles at Ginni's teasing "I appreciate the effort. So babe, do you think you're OK now? or shall they keep you here for some extra evaluation?"
In response to her other comment "Not possessive. I positively loathe people's free will being taken away. I refuse to use any spells such as charms or holds, unless I absolutely must due to no other possible alternative. I do not think this situation was as dire as all that."
"Oh, go on, Tami, it's not like skipping a meal will help me....and you know they're just going to put me in isolation for a couple hours just like always...sitting outside my door doesn't help either."
He shrugs "Alright then, you should get some then rest." Dom looking to Ace and Ginni. "Well i belive I will be taking my leave as well. Now that I know Ginni is feeling better."

Tamina smiled. "Alright, Ginni. If you're sure. I'll come back and check on you later."
"And I would be honored to join you for dinner, good sir," she answered Dom with mock formality.
"So formal I should have put on my tux." He jokes back. Dom Offers her his arm trying to play at being formal. "My lady?
"Oh! No, it's okay! Please, get up. I would ask that you please not throw sharpened shuriken anymore. My familiar likes to play with the practice ones with the dull blades and he got pretty sliced up when he tried to catch that one. but otherwise..."
"You're from the other clan right? The...what's the name? It's just on the tip of my tongue....Well, anyways, you're with them? Yeah, I haven't been allowed to visit home in some time cause they want me to stay out of the whole war thing since it wouldn't be fair to me they say since I'm not a shinobi anymore...so my information is a little sketchy at best...."
Midori looks up to Kitty from her bowed position on the floor. She doesn't get up quite yet. Her voice sounds pained. "Is he okay? Your familiar? I... I thought you were here to kill me. I am very glad to find I was mistaken, though I have caused you and yours pain, unbidden. I am very sorry, senpai."
"Amateru, senpai. That my clan's name." Midori finally gets up. It was strange, actually speaking with an Akuma. Midori keeps expecting to feel a kunai in her back. "I am Midori Tsuyomi. Hajime mashite."
Midori couldn't believe her ears for a moment. "Senpai... you have left the path of the shinobi?"
he follows. "impressive, but nothing is this free... why?"
"really nothing is free? so your life how much did you pay for that before you where born, humm, your thinking to much there kido"
Ruby hears what you say about the sand room and then puts three items on the counter in front of him
1: A Silver Compass
2: pear of flippers and an aqualung
3: A fat looking Bird in a cage.
She laid her fingertips delicately on his offered arm as if going in to a formal banquet. "Lead on, good sir."
And then she laughed. "Oh, that's horrible! No more! I have to put up with enough of that at home!"
"I'll see you in a bit, Ginni," she said, waving to her friend as she left with Dom to go get some food.
"Well, this is .. your natural form. You do not look horrifying, at least not to me. You certainly do not look human, so that's most likely why people flee in terror. Or seek to worship you. Or perhaps the mother thing you mentioned."
She smiles once and then says, "What matters is who you are within, obviously. Your choice and words, which are ..well, words to yourself and others, in both cases. Bleh.." She stopped talking and walked around him a bit saying, "Your wings are like a crow's. So many people with wings in this school. Black though- very dark and brooding, evil colors would be the first guess. So, what are you then, if not a tiefling?"
Her inspection ends standing back where she started, moving to sit down again and reach for the food, but she stops, rising up to dust herself off and looking proper for a few moments.
"I bid you thanks, Settro, for what you have shared and revealed with me on this moment, and promise you as long as I draw breath, and by the power of my will, I shall not speak of your presentation unless it is with you, or one you choose to share this with. If someone does seek to pull this information from me, I will fight it with all my strength, though I cannot promise if that will be sufficient. Be at peace, if you feel unease, I speak this on my word as Anahita bint Tariq." She gives another bow, hand on her chest, doing that motion as she did before.
"So, do you feel better now that you shared? You should not hide your appearance, think of the learning and teaching your natural looks will provide this school and it's inhabitants." She looks hopeful after saying that.
"Otherwise.. well, the whole mask thing I spoke of earlier.. which I doubt either of you two grasped." She gives a slight motion towards the Cafeteria while moving to sit again, legs out to the sides, going for another sushi piece. She's nearly done. So tasty still. Now with demons nearby!

" he he! Ok first I'll ask him if he'll go with me to help me look for something then I'll do it. Blinking doesn't work if they really don't want to go.""lets give it a bit longer if no one comes we go ok, as for warlock skydiving, yerr go on do it!"Tybalt looks to Johnny "so are we going or not?" He leans in close so only Johnny can hear "think we should take dom warlock skydiving first."
Edit: oops ninja'ed Tybalt blinks out after johnny and says the whispered thing normal volume.
"Ok lets go"

Midori looks up to Kitty from her bowed position on the floor. She doesn't get up quite yet. Her voice sounds pained. "Is he okay? Your familiar? I... I thought you were here to kill me. I am very glad to find I was mistaken, though I have caused you and yours pain, unbidden. I am very sorry, senpai."
"Amateru, senpai. That my clan's name." Midori finally gets up. It was strange, actually speaking with an Akuma. Midori keeps expecting to feel a kunai in her back. "I am Midori Tsuyomi. Hajime mashite."
Midori couldn't believe her ears for a moment. "Senpai... you have left the path of the shinobi?"
"Pleased to meet you, Midori Tsuyomi of the Amateru. I am Kitty Tanaka of the Akuma...well actually it's Sakura-Neko, but I prefer to just go by Kitty."
"Saffire is fine, kouhai. See?" *Meep* the tiny blue drake said, peering out from behind Kitty cautiously. "It may take a little while to trust you again though. The apology is appreciated. As well as the explanation."
"Yes, I have left the path of the shinobi....I was so good at it that everyone forgot I ever existed....for two years. Including my family. The only way people can see me is if I stay true to myself. And what I love is working with animals. So since I am not a shinobi anymore, my family says I have no place in shinobi wars."
"teifling is a word for it, but I'm a full fledged half fiend. i don't like hiding from people really. from what i saw today, it might not be too bad, revealing a little at least. I'll start by keeping my wings out. oh, and i have some talons replacing my toes, but you can't see those." he actually sits down, and you hear a jingle from his wrists. "oh, right." he removes the illusion from his wrists too, and there area pair of shackles on his hands, with the chain in-between broken.
Frowning at the shackles, though the chain appears broken, Anahita asks, "I presume there is a reason you keep those ..on?" She points, in case it's not clear she's speaking of the shackles.
Then, she looks off and seems to consider something, blanking out again for roughly two to three seconds, before snapping back to looking down at Settro as if nothing had just passed.

Then, she looks off and seems to consider something, blanking out again for roughly two to three seconds, before snapping back to looking down at Settro as if nothing had just passed.
"hm? oh, yes. I put them on when I got here. They keep me anchored to this plane, so I can't be forced back to the abyss."
"Pleased to meet you, Midori Tsuyomi of the Amateru. I am Kitty Tanaka of the Akuma...well actually it's Sakura-Neko, but I prefer to just go by Kitty."
"Saffire is fine, kouhai. See?" *Meep* the tiny blue drake said, peering out from behind Kitty cautiously. "It may take a little while to trust you again though. The apology is appreciated. As well as the explanation."

And what I love is working with animals. So since I am not a shinobi anymore, my family says I have no place in shinobi wars."
"I..." Midori is somewhat at a loss to say. Her senpai was so kind. Weren't the Akuma all supposed to be bloodthirsty? "Tanaka-senpai... your family will not attack me here will they? Zamarosok-sensei said that I was safe here, and I want to believe what she has said. But... otousama and okaasama are not here. I feel vulnerable... especially since Zamarosok-sensei took away my weapons."
Replying to Settro while he's sitting there and all, clinking with his broken chains, Anahita says, "Well, I certainly hope a mad cult of worshipers don't come rushing the school to 'save' you from danger now. It would be most annoying."
She eats another sushi and says, "This really should feel good, exposing yourself in this manner, doesn't it? A huge weight, metaphorically speaking, off your shoulders?"
vriskra wanders through the elementary halls looking around, and sees kitty.
She laid her fingertips delicately on his offered arm as if going in to a formal banquet. "Lead on, good sir."
And then she laughed. "Oh, that's horrible! No more! I have to put up with enough of that at home!"
"I'll see you in a bit, Ginni," she said, waving to her friend as she left with Dom to go get some food.
"Yah I'm not very good at the whole formal thing." He seemed a bit embarrassed. "I had forgotten you said you where from a noble family... You and Ginni seem really close. How long have you known each other? His voice was soft and caring and the way he looked at her was as if she was the only thing that mattered.
"physically too. wings are meant to be stretched. I don't have a cult. i wasn't well known- i am very young for what I am. I'm only about 16, and well, i don't die of age. ever. one thing drilled into my head to make me unsympathetic was "don't set your hopes to high, cause' every hello, ends in goodbye." I can't forget it, because i know when another dies, I cannot see them in the afterlife."
"Well, then, what now?" Her sushi meal appears nearly done.
She picks up the last one and plops it into her mouth, chewing away.
"hunh. usually, i'd had left by now, or the other person would be dead or incapable of rational speech. i really don't know."
"I..." Midori is somewhat at a loss to say. Her senpai was so kind. Weren't the Akuma all supposed to be bloodthirsty? "Tanaka-senpai... your family will not attack me here will they? Zamarosok-sensei said that I was safe here, and I want to believe what she has said. But... otousama and okaasama are not here. I feel vulnerable... especially since Zamarosok-sensei took away my weapons."
"I promise you, Midori-chan, you are safe here. My family will not come here. They are keeping their distance because they do not wish to jeopardize my safety. Avalon is considered neutral territory," she said solemnly.
"And I'm sure Zamarosok-sensei will let you have your weapons back in a day or two when she is sure you understand the rules....I usually only carry practice shuriken within the school itself...well, that's partly because my familiar thinks they're snacks. Otherwise I wouldn't need to carry weapons at all."
"Yah I'm not very good at the whole formal thing." He seemed a bit embarrassed. "I had forgotten you said you where from a noble family... You and Ginni seem really close.

"I'll see you in a bit, Ginni," she said, waving to her friend as she left with Dom to go get some food.
She smiled. She was definitely enjoying the attention. This one was obviously an accomplished flirt, and she loved every minute of it. After all, she wasn't the Speaker yet. She still had time to enjoy herself.
"Only a year. We were assigned as roommates when we arrived here last year. But we hit it off and now it's like we've known each other forever."
"Don't let the whole noble thing intimidate you...here I'm just Tamina. It's the only place I get to be just myself and not a walking collection of responsibilities and duties."
"hunh. usually, i'd had left by now, or the other person would be dead or incapable of rational speech. i really don't know."
"Well, it might just be the case that ..you should work on this skill, or lack there of. Perhaps a course in diplomacy, or conversation. Quite handy, if the school teaches that." She has a wry smile, her face is expressive, she's bemused.
Sitting up straight now, legs tucked up in front of her, she says, "So, what are your goals, mmm? You have mentioned the control learning before, but did not explain-- unless I forgot, what you seek to control. Your rage? your," she does 'air quotes', "'evilness'? What did you think of that other fellow earlier, with the white wings. Do you feel he's an angelic being that you will need to fight? What of the other one, with the diamond appearance and metal skin? He had wings too. How much free will do you really have? How much is ingrained in your very being?"
She looks ruefully at the tray, devoid of sushi, then looks up with a slight pout.
"nah. felt nothing towards either of them. my control... rage. also, it would be nice to be able to turn off my emotion eating. good emotions taste horrid. better self control is needed overall, as i am gradually climbing to full deity status, and then the desires will be stronger.
"I promise you, Midori-chan, you are safe here. My family will not come here. They are keeping their distance because they do not wish to jeopardize my safety. Avalon is considered neutral territory," she said solemnly.
"And I'm sure Zamarosok-sensei will let you have your weapons back in a day or two when she is sure you understand the rules....I usually only carry practice shuriken within the school itself...well, that's partly because my familiar thinks they're snacks. Otherwise I wouldn't need to carry weapons at all."
Midori considers this carefully. Not carry weapons? She had been wearing a shuriken holster since she was old enough for it to stay wrapped around her leg. "Thank you for your help, Tanaka-senpai. Perhaps I should ask Blackscales-senpai for a tour after all. My first attempt ended with you." she sounds a bit guilty. "Unless you are willing to offer more assistance? Even if you are no longer a kunoichi, and we are from clans at war, I will listen to any advice you have for me."

"nah. felt nothing towards either of them. my control... rage. also, it would be nice to be able to turn off my emotion eating. good emotions taste horrid."
Nodding, while hearing the spoken parts, she says, "Well, learn to mix and match your meals, right? As for the rest, I'd recommend meditation. It helps me tremendously."
At this, she stands up with her tray, which has been depleted of it's food.
"I shall be returning into the Cafeteria now. If you wish to ..continue, sharing of yourself, find me again at one point. Until next we meet, I again, urge you, do not hide behind any mask. You will be teaching people and embracing what you are, and where you seek to go with that."
"Good to speak to you. seems i have some thinking to do."
"Be well. Remember- unless you cannot, you always have a choice. Make it as you wish, freely."
She gives a slight wave, seems to catch herself doing that, and walks off into the Cafeteria with her tray.

"If you want, I'll give you a tour."
Midori sees a flash of movement and a squirrel dressed like a ninja runs in front of her chittering.
"Kaori, be kind," Kitty says sternly in squirrel.
"Sorry about that. My animal companions are a bit....unusual. I seem to have acquired a group of...well.....shinobi squirrels.....they're not actually all that bad....and Michael keeps giving them smoke bombs cause he thinks it's cute when they do the disappearing thing," she said, rolling her eyes.
She smiled. She was definitely enjoying the attention. This one was obviously an accomplished flirt, and she loved every minute of it. After all, she wasn't the Speaker yet.

I wish I could relate to responsibilities and duties. My family was a band of musician traveling from village to village. While yes I had responsibilities such as washing cloths and the like. I doubt it was anything comparable. I'm going to even guess it was the exact opposite of your life. He stopped walking and took her hand in to his. Your being a noble does intimidate me, but it isn't anything I would be scared off by. That first day I met you I saw in you a beauty I have only sung about in song. The way you look after your friends even people you just met you look as if you truly care about them.

Tybalt tosses the suit into the air and appears inside of it as his other clothes drop to the ground. He climbs into storm and is lost in shock and aww through the ride. Once they hit the snow he is instantly focused. "I don't think you realize what a bad idea that is." He gives a not-so-sane smile as he raises both arms and a fleet of snowballs rise with them. He flicks one hand and a few detach from the fleet and fly at Johnny at a normal person's throwing speed.
Dave arrives in town puts on his disguise and searches for any place that sells instruments, he asks someone on the side of the road where the best music shop could be located he responds with "if you want the best you'd better go over that way, but he don't come cheep"
"Don't worry about that, I'm practically made of money"
Dave heads to the store "I want your best base guitar, and your best fiddle,"
He recieves it, pays with gold and heads back to school.
