"No, I wouldn't call Ursula lucky. Stubborn. Occasionally suffocating, but not lucky. Though she is irritatingly good at almost everything. She's always perfect at stuff and I'm always bad at stuff....huh.....maybe you've got something there."
"This is good, potential progress, no? Perhaps the next step would be to determine if this is some heritage ability. I see no residue of magics in your aura. Does your family have any sort of history of note?"
She's gotten comfortable, seeing as her current companion appeared to be content to keep speaking and un-injured, happy with the exchange.
"Not really," he said thoughtfully, carefully considering the question. "They're just normal folks. They have a cobbler shop. They don't really know what to make of Ursula and her overachieving. And they're beside themselves trying to figure out what to do about me since I don't seem to be good at anything." He says this matter-of-factly with no trace of self-pity. "My grandparents ran the shop before my parents and their parents before them....I'm pretty sure they've just always been cobblers."
"It may be perfect in your eyes, but in mine it pales in comparison to you." With a wink he brushes her hair back. "I have told you about where I come from now. W would you grace me by telling me some of your likes and dislikes? His voice started to seem a bit shaky. As if everything else had been like second nature to him to say, except this.
"I would like that," she said wistfully. She knew that her position as Speaker-in-training would prevent her from being allowed to travel, but she could still dream about it. "But there is no point in worrying about the future now when there are so many lovely things to be enjoyed in the present, like this flower. It's delightful! Beautiful and ephemeral...perfect."She smiled. "Hmm....well, that is a very broad question. Well, I suppose I dislike posturing. You know like what courtiers constantly do. Or Ace and David. Drives me nuts. I like plants. Growing things fascinate me. I love working in the gardens."
She turned around walking backwards as she spoke with him, a playful twinkle in her eyes. "If you want to know more than that, you'll have to ask more specific questions."
"Ah. My apologies. Is there anything I can do? I will do what I can to assist." Tyrrin makes the offer almost instantly, not even considering. If the head of security was stressed... that was a problem for all of them.
"Tyrrin. Is there something you need? I'm kinda in the middle of some things," she said, looking stressed.
"Thank you, Tyrrin, but no, I'm afraid that there is nothing you can do...other than let me know if you happen to see someone wearing a mirror mask around the school. It may help triangulate his location. He's using the plane of shadow to mask himself from the nanites....which is not what you came here about. Sorry. Long day. So, what was it you wanted?"
::Krays, would you mind coming to my office for a minute? I have a student here I need you to evaluate. The child of a death deity.::
"Excuse me Aananda, but Ephebe is asking for me. If anything odd happens, and you need assistance, I'll return."
He ports out
"Yes?" he says as he appears next to Ephebe

"wow apparently the when is now, he he" he tries to tell a joke but you can tell he is nervous, he holds a staff accross his lap "hi, I'm Grim, Grim Jr."
The door to the Headmaster's office opens and he beckons the pair in.
"You know, Mr. Baneko, the younger kids are to be brought to Headmaster Black scales for enrollment now."
She smiled. "Hmm....well, that is a very broad question. Well, I suppose I dislike posturing. You know like what courtiers constantly do. Or Ace and David. Drives me nuts. I like plants. Growing things fascinate me. I love working in the gardens."
She turned around walking backwards as she spoke with him, a playful twinkle in her eyes. "If you want to know more than that, you'll have to ask more specific questions."
Dom smiled back. His slight nervousness disappeared with Tamina's playfulness. With a playful smile he scratches his chin. "Something specific? How about your favorite flower then?" He asked while looking deep in to her eyes.
He knew this would probably go the way of every other girl he had felt close to, but this was a place he would be staying at for a long period. Perhaps this would be something more than a few nights of fun. Even his wanting to know more about her was something he hadn't experienced before.
The door to the Headmaster's office opens and he beckons the pair in.
"You know, Mr. Baneko, the younger kids are to be brought to Headmaster Black scales for enrollment now."
"Well I guess theres no need for introductions then other than yours. And I'm afraid this concerns more than just Sara here. Johnny Panic and I found her and her sick grandmother on an island. They were alone and without any resources or help. We couldn't just leave them there knowing that there is more than enough for them here at Avalon. I felt this was more than just enrolling Sara here so the arrows took me here to you." Sara walks up to the desk and stands on the ends of here toes to see over the desk top at Ryo and says in the most adorable way conceivable "please Mr.Sir let me and my grandma stay here. I can't take care of my Grandma on my own."
She smiled. "Hmm....well, that is a very broad question. Well, I suppose I dislike posturing. You know like what courtiers constantly do. Or Ace and David. Drives me nuts. I like plants. Growing things fascinate me. I love working in the gardens."

"That is easier to show than to tell. How about we get some dinner and eat it outside in the garden? And while we're there I can show you my favorite flower. It's a night-blooming plant so you can only see it after the sun goes down."
"wow apparently the when is now, he he" he tries to tell a joke but you can tell he is nervous, he holds a staff accross his lap "hi, I'm Grim, Grim Jr."
::Krays, would you mind coming to my office for a minute? I have a student here I need you to evaluate. The child of a death deity.::
"Excuse me Aananda, but Ephebe is asking for me. If anything odd happens, and you need assistance, I'll return."
He ports out
"Yes?" he says as he appears next to Ephebe
"This is the student I was speaking of, love. I was thinking of placing him in the necromancy class with the older students, but I'm not sure if he's ready for that and it's not really my specialty," she said with a small smile. "Either way he'll need some special training."
"Grim, this is my mate, Krays Blackscales. He's the necromancy teacher here so he's the one who will best be able to help you learn to use your innate talents."
"Not really," he said thoughtfully, carefully considering the question. "They're just normal folks. They have a cobbler shop. They don't really know what to make of Ursula and her overachieving. And they're beside themselves trying to figure out what to do about me since I don't seem to be good at anything." He says this matter-of-factly with no trace of self-pity. "My grandparents ran the shop before my parents and their parents before them....I'm pretty sure they've just always been cobblers."
"You see? Potentially wonderful news if you consider this as a blessing of sorts, especially if we can find a method to control it. You apparently are quite positive, you should be proud of yourself. Have you had any dinner as of yet? I trust you aren't hurting, right?"
Smiling, she merely continues to sit there while thinking about things.
"Do you feel anything prior to the foul effects perhaps? That might help knowing."
"I think that is a grand idea." They stepped into the cafeteria. The line was almost non-existent so they made it through very quickly. "I think the cafeteria is getting ready to close. ow long were we walking here? It didn't seem like it was that long of a walk or was it just the company." He asked as they were walking in to the garden.
"How can I say no to such a polite little girl?" Ryo leans over his desk in a sort of bow. "I am Headmaster Antairus. It's nice to meet you, Sara."
"How can I say no to such a polite little girl?" Ryo leans over his desk in a sort of bow. "I am Headmaster Antairus. It's nice to meet you, Sara."
"yay! Thank you mister antairus!" She runs around the desk and attempts to hug the head master. Tybalt looks on the adorable scene with a smile. As she let's go of the head masterr she says "now grandma can get better and Bee and Johnny and Mr.Cat and me can play together!" She yawns. it is now considerably late at night. "Mr.Cat I'm tired. Can I get a bed?" Tybalt looks at the head master and says "Looks like she's about to pass out is there a room where I can put her?"
"Thank you, Tyrrin, but no, I'm afraid that there is nothing you can do...other than let me know if you happen to see someone wearing a mirror mask around the school. It may help triangulate his location. He's using the plane of shadow to mask himself from the nanites....which is not what you came here about. Sorry. Long day. So, what was it you wanted?"
"I wish I could help, but none of the magic available to me can penatrate the Shadow Plane. I was simply here to offer my telescope to be hooked up to your security system. Then we will still get proximity alerts even if we are not in the observatory."
"Also, I was wondering if I could appropriate a skimmer for the evening." she adds, a little sheepishly.
Eventually, sick of laying in bed, Ardiente transforms into his bird form, and stretches his wings. Even these muscles were sore. Still, it would help to stretch them.
Ardiente spends some time fluttering around the hallways, not wanting to push himself too hard and hurt something, but yearning to do something. Something to distract him from all the horrible thoughts his brief conversation had conjured from wherever Raelle had buried them.
If anyone were to watch him, he appears as an eagle-like bird, but with bright orange plummage with red and yellow accents, the colour of flame.
The Headmaster pulls a map out of a desk drawer and looks it over.
"There's an empty room next to the infirmary she can stay in until we can find a more suitable room for them both. You can go through this door." The Headmaster gestures and a door takes shape next to Tybalt. "It goes right into the room so you don't have to walk all the way there. It's a bit late for little ones that have had such a big day to walking all over the place."
"Yes, I'm Dara's sister, Sadie. Thank you very much for helping Dara with this. These gloves are wonderful," she said with a delighted smile as Dara demonstrated all the signs he had learned.
"Don't thank me, it's been fun. The lessons bring back some old memories of when I was around his age. Very old memories..." Lysander pauses for a moment before looking to Sadie. "I gathered Dara was waiting for something. I'm guessing that he was waiting for you?"
** spoiler omitted **...The healers quickly administer a 'Remove Disease' and a 'Restoration' to the elderly woman who is now as hale and hearty as she ever was.
As the old lady wakes she looks at Johnny, her grey hair unkept and she needs a good bath, but heath can be seen flooding back into her.
Johnny thanks the medical staff, then gos to her.
"Agatha, you seem at better, I really do not know how they do it here, but what would have taken me weeks they do in moments."
The old woman moves to get up she asks in a clear voice.
"Sara, is she.."
Johnny heads her off.
"Fine, my friends Ty has taken her to the headmaster to ask if she can enroll her and you be allowed to stay as well. As her Grandma I think that would be wise."
"Would they? I mean we have very little money"
"Money will not be a problem, this place is not run like that, and I was thinking there is a lower school here that Sara will be going to, I bet someone like you would be more than welcome as a class aid. It would be a way to be of use and keep an eye on Sara."
"That would be my dream, an education for Sara and a safe place tobe with children her own age"
They talked for some time about what things and waited for Ty to let Johnny know what had been agreed.
The Headmaster pulls a map out of a desk drawer and looks it over.
"There's an empty room next to the infirmary she can stay in until we can find a more suitable room for them both. You can go through this door." The Headmaster gestures and a door takes shape next to Tybalt. "It goes right into the room so you don't have to walk all the way there. It's a bit late for little ones that have had such a big day to walking all over the place."
Tybalt scoops up the litte girl about to fall asleep on a chair. poor thing barley weighs anything at all. "thank you sir. She will also be near her grandmother this way too. I will take her to Mrs.Blackscales in the morning to get her signed up for school." He carries her through the door into her room as the door dissapears behind them he tucks her into the bed and gives her a soft stroke on the head. "Night sweetheart." She yawns "good night mr.cat. . ." Tybalt disappears from her room and appears in his after checking on Jericoh and the otter who both are asleep at this point he curls up in the bed and falls asleep
EDIT :oops ninja'ed before Tybalt departs for his room he blinks in next to Johnny "hello they have a room set up.right next to the infirmary or in this case right near here.
Vai nods, still staring at her plate. She doesn't pull away from his hand. "Just thinking about it makes me feel as though his claws were on me again." Vai whispers.Fei (very gently) places a reassuring hand on hers for a moment, giving it a squeeze.
"Someone did this...intentionally?"
Fei's brow furrows as he attempts to piece together the unspoken parts of this event. He does not remove his hand from hers yet.
"Did you confront this person...or did Sadie?"
Vai nods, still staring at her plate. She doesn't pull away from his hand. "Just thinking about it makes me feel as though his claws were on me again." Vai whispers.Fei (very gently) places a reassuring hand on hers for a moment, giving it a squeeze.

:: headmaster... you said you were going to prepare a room? should I just use the arrows?::
Fei's brow furrows as he attempts to piece together the unspoken parts of this event. He does not remove his hand from hers yet.
"Did you confront this person...or did Sadie?"
Vai shakes her head, and some of her hair falls in front of her face, in the way that it always does. She doesn't move to readjust it, though whether it's because the hand that usually does the adjusting is under Fei's hand or whether she's getting comfort from it, is unclear. "I... no. Sadie was in the infirmary. The Professor never came today either. Sadie was in charge. And I didn't even think about it until after lunch..."
"It's my fault for wearing a skirt anyway." she adds, shoulders slumped.

ever since the dream creature showed up, adon has just been in the lunchroom, talking to random npcs about nothing important.
"wow apparently the when is now, he he" he tries to tell a joke but you can tell he is nervous, he holds a staff accross his lap "hi, I'm Grim, Grim Jr."
::Krays, would you mind coming to my office for a minute? I have a student here I need you to evaluate. The child of a death deity.::
"Excuse me Aananda, but Ephebe is asking for me. If anything odd happens, and you need assistance, I'll return."
He ports out
"Yes?" he says as he appears next to Ephebe
roel is wandering at the lake.
AS you walk along you come to Storm.
"Hello there, nice night for a walk, you where here earlier with Johnny and the others, lost a bit of stability. I wander if I could ask you something, you can say not, but could I have a tiny simple of you, your thinking why I ask, well, its I have never come across a being made of, well Acid. I do not mean to be rude its just I find that fascinating"

I wasn't asking why. won't really hurt me even if i took a whole arm off right now, im rather diluded from the swim.

"Hello Grim. As my mate has said, I am Krays Blackscales, Professor of Necromatic studies here at Avalon, and Champion of the Aspect, Death. Always nice to meet a fellow purveyor of the darker arts. Mrs. Blackscales tells me you need help with some innate abilities? Why don't we go out to the graveyard, and see what you can do?"
I wasn't asking why. won't really hurt me even if i took a whole arm off right now, im rather diluded from the swim.
A small panle pops out of storm,
"place you hand on the glass, just for a moment and that will be all, thank you for this. Its always good to find out new things. It is after all a school. I am Storm by the way, If you looking for some one, I am sorry but my body is this craft and I am wants known as a Artificial Intelligence, most just say AI or MIND. My full name is 'Limited Contact Unit - Rides the Storm' Nice to meet you."
Grim nods and gets up from his seat "sure thing sir lead the way" he follows him.
settro remembered something. ::headmaster... were you listening to that?::::Some of it. I try not to invade a student's privacy unless it is to stop something bad from happening.::
::He has agreed to meet with you.::
::Since you have both agreed to meet eachother, would you like to meet after dinner so you may discuss how to go about this special case class? I can prepare a room.::
::After dinner would be ideal, I am fairly drained at the moment and need some food and a little rest.::
"I think he mentioned that bad things happened when he disappears...""This day just keeps getting weirder....I'll send a note to the office to see if he reappeared somewhere on school grounds....or we're just hallucinating or something."Kezzin's face is clearly disbelieving, and he mutters to himself, "I am no god; I am a Dragon." He looks up to Krays, then to Aananda and speaks in a normal volume, "Thank you for your help. Do you think that I will nee...." Kezzin simply vanishes mid-word. No trace of him remains, and no magic was used to effect his departure. It is simply as if he never was.Opens his eyes a frown already forming on his face.
"That was..."
He shakes his head
"Death thinks you could be some kind of minor deity that has been cursed or something." he says to Kezzin.
"You will need to ask those that follow deities, or research in the library for tales of your plight."
"I think that is a grand idea." They stepped into the cafeteria. The line was almost non-existent so they made it through very quickly. "I think the cafeteria is getting ready to close. ow long were we walking here? It didn't seem like it was that long of a walk or was it just the company." He asked as they were walking in to the garden.
"It's amazing how time flies when you're in enjoyable company," she agreed, smiling.
"Just over here...." she led the way towards a seemingly overgrown area of the garden, gently moving a curtain of vines aside to reveal a small moonlit grotto full of delicate glowing flowers. "This is my favorite flower. It's called starlace. It's naturally phosphorescent and only blooms at night. Near my home there is an entire meadow filled with these. It's like walking through the night sky full of stars."
She let the curtain of vines drop back into place as she heard someone approaching and stood back up.
"Ace, is everything alright?"
"Thank you, Tyrrin, but no, I'm afraid that there is nothing you can do...other than let me know if you happen to see someone wearing a mirror mask around the school. It may help triangulate his location. He's using the plane of shadow to mask himself from the nanites....which is not what you came here about. Sorry. Long day. So, what was it you wanted?""I wish I could help, but none of the magic available to me can penatrate the Shadow Plane. I was simply here to offer my telescope to be hooked up to your security system. Then we will still get proximity alerts even if we are not in the observatory."
"Also, I was wondering if I could appropriate a skimmer for the evening." she adds, a little sheepishly.
"That's a wonderful idea. I'll arrange it. I know that will make Fivain happy since she thinks we're all trusting fools down here," she said with a wry smile.
"A skimmer? Tyrrin, since when do you know how to drive?"
::After dinner would be ideal, I am fairly drained at the moment and need some food and a little rest.::
As Phaezeriel enters the cafeteria he may notice his friends off to one side, away from the "action". Disturbingly, Fei has a worried look about him , his hand resting on Vai's. Vai looks distressed - cheeks are flushed, hair is fallen in front of her face, eyes just a little glassy. Her gaze is locked solidly on her plate.
"I... am going into town with Mr. Kiln. He knows how to pilot them apparently." Tyrrin says simply, clearly not wishing to elaborate further.
Aananda may not believe what she is seeing: Tyrrin almost looks embarrassed. Aananda may also note that she is somewhat more elaborately dressed than is typical for Tyrrin, with even the barest hint of cleavage.
I wasn't asking why. won't really hurt me even if i took a whole arm off right now, im rather diluded from the swim.A small panle pops out of storm,

"well, i wasn't looking for someone. I knew there was no-one in there.honestly, iv'e already met rosa, you aren't abnormal" he places his hand on the glass. "sorry, it's kind of watery."
Ardiente suddenly remembers he has somewhere to be. How could he forget Fain! He was so excited last night! Some things are more improtant than music, duh.
Ardiente still takes his time, following the arrows. He doesn't want to damage anything by pushing himself further. He shifts back to humanoid shape at the door; talons don't open doors very well.
"I'm not late am I?" he says as he enters the practice space.
Lang sitting on the pier by the lake contemplating everything when Sun comes up.
didn't you make an appointment today? sun asks.
Lang looks abit confused at Sun
tea with Professor De...something?
Sun looks at Lang and smiles perhaps it will cheer you up, did the last time you had tea
