The exhaustion seems to evaporate as the magic clinging to Midori wears off, and her eyes once more become alert and searching. "I do not believe our clan's use of acupressure is damaging in the long-run, Zamarosok-sensei, but I will not object if you wish to perform tests."
Tyrrin smiles to see Ghalen a little flustered. "Don't think too much on it, please. I'm not offended.""Yes, it is almost entirely an Elven country. It's out in the forest. We share a border with the lycan traditional clan grounds, so we've had war with them for most of my lifetime. It is trying at times. We've had peace the last couple of years, but I do not have much hope it will last for much longer unless a real solution can be reached." Tyrrin also sips at her wine. Well, it's drinkable anyway. That's what you get with cheap wine. Elves just made better wine in general.
"There are alot of lycans at Avalon. Have there been issues?"
You take everything at face value .....only seeing the meaning on the surface, everything said you twist like an ocean current..." He says this not insultingly "he said he must "master the elements....he means master his control over the elements...not master them such as proclaim himself ruler of them...."
Always in aquan
"You are incorrect, he said 'master of all the elements'. I would be insulting him if I changed what he said in my head and heard it differently- is that your intention? To teach me how to lie to myself, Sheess? That I .. ignore what is spoken?" Anahita's calm seems to fade at this point. She didn't even bother saying this in Aquan.
"Whether or not the young one knows how to speak properly isn't my concern, but the proclamation he stated is what I take offense too. No one is the master of the Elements. The Elements exist, and are. To claim mastery of them, in any manner, is arrogance. Bonded, or a part of, yes. If that is not clear, the tell me so I might explain it better given my experience in these matters." She isn't quite glaring at Sheess, but she's certainly no longer calm and centered.
One quick glance in case too, should Lang have not left, then back to Sheess.
Grim jr notes the change in demenor and smiles, glad that his spell wore off, "learning to control your power and developing said power is why most people are here, it's why I'm here" he gets a far off look in his face, and a self depriciating expression replaces it "well that and growing a spine, according to mom."
the serpent is calm no longer
"you say I try to teach you to lie! ? No I teach you to understand! His age in little more than half of your age and you treat with him as if your coin purse hung above lava! " the blue coated snake turns and begins to slither away from the 'oh so wise' human
words
"Get... me out of here..." his voice sounds almost human, and breathing can be heard. he appears in the medical ward, and the equipment sustains horrible damage instantly. "what... is going on?
They displace to Storm
"Johnny some thing is odd here, I'm reading life signs of a true organic human off Roel now, he did not have one before, hes got a respiratory system, and other indicators hes human under that acid, hells balls he must be in some pain, Look I will Displace you to he Schools medical unit, I can do it now hes with me, should never have sent just a remote drone with him. But you have to tell them not just to heal him, they have to cheack this out 1st, I know hes in pain but they have to check him before they heal"
They materializing in the medical wing of the School
"help we need help here!"
Johnny calls out.
Lang already headed on toward the dorm but at Anahita's words, he stops a second and listens, he doesn't look back. then starts to run to his room when she has finshed.
"why am i... solid? what is... i don't understand..." he now looks mostly human, with acid secreting from his flesh. the aria he is on is sustaining heavy damage, as the acid actually flows separate from him.
"Go on, Ephebe, I'll handle this." He tells his niece, already walking toward Roel. A gesture reverses the damage and cleans away the acid.
"What happened?" He asks Johnny.
The exhaustion seems to evaporate as the magic clinging to Midori wears off, and her eyes once more become alert and searching. "I do not believe our clan's use of acupressure is damaging in the long-run, Zamarosok-sensei, but I will not object if you wish to perform tests."
"At the very least it will give us a baseline to compare to later on. That is often excessively useful."
"Go on, Ephebe, I'll handle this." He tells his niece, already walking toward Roel. A gesture reverses the damage and cleans away the acid.
"What happened?" He asks Johnny.
Ephebe nodded and headed to her mother's lab with the sqiurmy, curious toddler.
She kicked at the door to knock.
"Could someone let me in, please? My hands are a bit full at the moment..."
"Sorry, we don't want any Dragon Scout cookies!" Taron calls out before opening the door. He looks at the toddler curiously.
"I'll explain in a minute. Hey, Mom, I could really use a diaper and some clothes that fit for this little guy. Please?"
"How is Dara?"
Adon looks at the bird. "why keep you locked up? I don't think you like being stuck in there. it's not right." Adon lets the bird out, not thinking of any where, instead just letting it go.
The fast little red bird just falls to the fall and sits the, but what is odd is the urethral catapult that came into being as soon as you tuck the bird out of the cage, The fat little fellow hops up to it and waits.
"I'm not... human... I'm not..." What is going on? I don't understand... "I'm not human... I'm... I'm..." What AM I? I can't be an ooze. I can't be a machine... I can't be... anything...
"I'll explain in a minute. Hey, Mom, I could really use a diaper and some clothes that fit for this little guy. Please?"
"How is Dara?"
"Dara is feeling rather anxious at the moment," she said nodding towards where the young boy was huddled in the corner clutching a stuffed toy and clinging to his sister.
"Come on over here and we'll get this little guy all fixed up," she said, starting up the same tank she'd used to make the stuffed animal for Dara.
"There are alot of lycans at Avalon. Have there been issues?"
Tyrrin shakes her head. "Not at all. In fact, my closest friend counts herself among their number. It is one of the many reasons I am grateful I came to Avalon. All the lycans here have left or been kicked out of their packs. I understand there was some problem a little before i arrived, but they have not bothered me at all."
"no. just... no." he opens the cage, thinking wherever there is someone who could free this poor creature... that isn't redhat.
"At the very least it will give us a baseline to compare to later on. That is often excessively useful."
"Of course, Zamarosok-sensei. Whatever you think is wise." she bows her head in deference to her sensei.
Lang runs to his dorm room. once inside he slams the door.
Sun siting there reading the book Lang brought back from his trip just looks up a look of concern on his face.
Lang does not even notice his room has changed, another bed and extra furniture is there.
Lang just lie son his bed his face buried in his pillow
Vai doesn't even notice Ephebe's entrance, so focused is she on the task at hand. "Sadie, Dara... I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I promised I wouldn't let you fall then I did exactly that. I'm sorry, please, forgive me." she says desperately, on her knee so that she doesn't appear threatening.
"I'm not... human... I'm not..." What is going on? I don't understand... "I'm not human... I'm... I'm..." What AM I? I can't be an ooze. I can't be a machine... I can't be... anything...
"Whatever you are, you are going to be fine. Just try and stay calm until the nanites have finished healing you."

Johnny helps Roel clean off as the Acid falls away.
"headmaster, Storm wanted to show him a place like is home, an old city sewer system, some ways away, he went with one of Storm remote Drones but some thing happens the drone was distoryed and Roel was hurt in some way. I don't know what happen after the Drone was smashed but this"
An image of the man with the meet hook come into being as a holo projection from Johnny, its a POV from the Drone, showing the space and the act of it being hit, then it whites out.
"storm says Roel said it was some kind of temple thats all I know"
Johnny looks at Roel,
"Your Human Roel I don't know how but you are, human"
"At the very least it will give us a baseline to compare to later on. That is often excessively useful.""Of course, Zamarosok-sensei. Whatever you think is wise." she bows her head in deference to her sensei.
grim jr sees that so far as he can tell everything is resolved he goes up to her, "well if everything is settled, its getting kinda late, if you want I can walk you to your room, or we could go back and finish the food you left there if your still hungry, um unless you're ok by your ok by yourself that is erm" the young reaper trips over his toung a bit trying not to sound stupid, which of course causes that very thing to happen
Vai doesn't even notice Ephebe's entrance, so focused is she on the task at hand. "Sadie, Dara... I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I promised I wouldn't let you fall then I did exactly that. I'm sorry, please, forgive me." she says desperately, on her knee so that she doesn't appear threatening.
"Vai...I trusted you. Dara trusted you because I told him to. This ....you're going to have to give me time on this. I don't know if I can trust you anymore."
"Your Human Roel I don't know how but you are, human"
"N... NO! I'm not... human. this is all wrong... I can't be human..." he seems to be crying a little. the tears are made of his acid, but he doesn't notice.
After getting an ok from the others Dom steps beside Ginni. After setting the bucket filled with water down beside him and the empty one on a chair on the other side of him. "Ok I will start removing the virus and repairing any damage done by it to her Ki." Dom Scoops up a hand sized glob of water. Slowly he turns to Ginni. "This shouldn't hurt, but I will still try to be gentle." He turns his hand upside down the glob of water slowly floats down and touches Ginni's stomach. At first the water would feel soothing. This would continue till he removes the water. Wear ever the water went through would feel cleansed. The water seeps through Ginni's skin. A slight glow can be seen through her skin wear the water flows through.
As Dom moves his hand the water follows slowly cleansing what it touches. Dom barely makes it out of the stomach area before he pulls the water out. Ginni would feel a slight pull at this point. The water he pulls out has captured inside of it a black substance swirling inside. He slips the tainted water into the empty bucket. and starts the process anew with another glob of water.
After a few seconds of this Dom starts sweating. His arms stopped moving as gently. It was as if the virus was fighting him. "It is deeply held in place, but I think I can get it free." He grits his teeth and concentrates pouring all his strength in to cleansing Ginni's body of the virus. With what seems to be an extreme amount of effort his hand moves above Ginni's heart. Dom's muscles start to relax as his hand stops. Slowly he lifts his hand. The water obviously tainted all the ways through as the black fluid fills the water glob, only a thin membrane of water surrounds it. With the the utmost care he deposits the glob into the bucket with all the other tainted water.
Dom stumbles away from Ginni. He was obviously drained from the procedure as he makes his way to a chair. "Now all that's left is getting rid of the source of the taint." He huffs as he hangs his head exhausted.
Edit:
"You are, your body is there, why do you say that Roel, your reading 100% human to me now, some odd chemistry but human true, there is no mistaking it. What happened to him to make you become, Acid??"
Johnny looks at the headmaster with a worried look on s/he face.
"Is this normal?"
"You are, your body is there, why do you say that Roel, your reading 100% human to me now, some odd chemistry but human true, there is no mistaking it. What happened to him to make you become, Acid??"
"no..." his body begins to contort and melt again. "NO NO NO! I AM NOT..." he melts into a puddle and pushes himself into a crack that couldn't even possibly hold 1/8th of him. when he changed, it looked much quicker then the other, and his movements were clumsy compared to before. "human..."
"Vai...I trusted you. Dara trusted you because I told him to. This ....you're going to have to give me time on this. I don't know if I can trust you anymore."
"I..." Vai starts to protest, but the memory of Kaze's body between her teeth floods her mind. "I understand. Please, if there's anything I can do... I don't want to lose you as a friend... I'll leave you alone now. Dara... I'm so sorry." And Vai's tear-filled eyes are gone, teleported somewhere. Running from her problems again, just like the night of the dance.
"There are alot of lycans at Avalon. Have there been issues?"Tyrrin shakes her head. "Not at all. In fact, my closest friend counts herself among their number. It is one of the many reasons I am grateful I came to Avalon. All the lycans here have left or been kicked out of their packs. I understand there was some problem a little before i arrived, but they have not bothered me at all."
"This doesn't give you any hope that peace can last at home?"
"I..." Vai starts to protest, but the memory of Kaze's body between her teeth floods her mind. "I understand. Please, if there's anything I can do... I don't want to lose you as a friend... I'll leave you alone now. Dara... I'm so sorry." And Vai's tear-filled eyes are gone, teleported somewhere. Running from her problems again, just like the night of the dance.
"Vai...I trusted you. Dara trusted you because I told him to. This ....you're going to have to give me time on this. I don't know if I can trust you anymore."
Turning another page in the gruesome tome, the wearer of masks smiles under the mirrored glass,
"such inventive, yet useless spells....." He murmurs
"I..." Vai starts to protest, but the memory of Kaze's body between her teeth floods her mind. "I understand. Please, if there's anything I can do... I don't want to lose you as a friend...

Once he had on a diaper and a shirt Ephebe set down the squirmy toddler and he took off giggling, apparently much happier now that he had a dry diaper and adults to run away from.
"Wait, where did Vai go?"
"Do you want me to try the last spell, Ace? I'm not sure I can get it, but I can try."
Sun closes the storybook and puts it on the table by Lang's bed.
he then pulls up a stool so he can be more at lang's level.
What happened? I thought you wanted to go stargazing?
Sun looks at the other furnishings now in the room look Lang the room changed now I can stay in here with you.
"no..." his body begins to contort and melt again. "NO NO NO! I AM NOT..." he melts into a puddle and pushes himself into a crack that couldn't even possibly hold 1/8th of him. when he changed, it looked much quicker then the other, and his movements were clumsy compared to before. "human..."
"Roel, I think your are human but you don't want to BE human, what ever happened to you to make you wish that must have been an event in your life, I'm not saying is wrong but from the way your acting, you seem to have some real hang ups about being human"
Johnny just looks on now really worried,
Lang looked at Sun, his eyes red
Sun, Am I, Arrogant?
Sun closes the storybook and puts it on the table by Lang's bed.
he then pulls up a stool so he can be more at lang's level.
What happened? I thought you wanted to go stargazing?
Sun looks at the other furnishings now in the room look Lang the room changed now I can stay in here with you.
Ace looks at all the tainted water "Deeesgusting"
He squeezes Ginni's hands "Two step down, one to go. Go for it Tamina. If you can't rid her of this last part, I'll try myself."

Sun looks at Lang a concerned and yet upset look in his eyes.
who told you that?
Lang you are the most generous and caring air bender I know

He squeezes Ginni's hands "Two step down, one to go. Go for it Tamina. If you can't rid her of this last part, I'll try myself."
Tamina nodded. "Alright, here goes."
She took a moment to say an extra prayer before casting Remove Curse in the hopes that this time she would have better luck.
"I...I don't think that worked....I think it's too strong for me."
"Roel, I think your are human but you don't want to BE human, what ever happened to you to make you wish that must have been an event in your life, I'm not saying is wrong but from the way your acting, you seem to have some real hang ups about being human"Johnny just looks on now really worried,
He comes out of the crack, and reforms so he can speak right. "no... just... you see... everything is just... it's not being human. it's being... well, the one thing i knew for sure, was that i was one of the sewer dwellers. My life went unchanged for ages. there was only one thing odd- i could think. Now, i almost don't want to think. my entire existence, taken away so fast... this structure is so frail. I can't hear right. Talking is so odd, yet i know how to do it... i don't... everything I know... just gone. I don't know what i am anymore."
he can't think straight, and sentences can't quite come together. his words are littered with sobs, and a look of confusion every time a tear left his eye.
"the biggest problem... I can't remember anything before i was an ooze... nothing. Who was i? why am i different from then? why..."
"Roel, please calm down. A lot of your energy has been depleted, and it will tto take a few minutes for my spell to fix that. I promise to help you find out why this has happened."
