"I can take them to him. I'm not getting any real readings from their minds though."
"I used a feeblemind spell. He's pretty much an animated vegetable at this point. Your uncle can probably restore him, though I hear it's pretty tough. It's kind of mean, but I didn't want him leaving..."
"Umm..."
Looks around
"Should we do something?"
"We can still go get him." Asch says as he reloads both guns with human bane bullets.

"Can't shoot..." *yawn* "..my jerk of a cousin...." *yawn* "...with anything deadly..." *yawn* "..yet. Even if he is a Hunter."
"Ok...ok..." Asch says quietly while mentally filing away the yet. "So what now?"
"Now? If Krays would take these two to Ryo, after putting gloves on H'Tor, then Spin can get Spin can take Ephebe to get some rest and we can hunt down my newest 'cousin' and have a talk with him. You don't threaten the people we imprint on."
"Well this is a snipe HUNT." Asch says emphasizing the word hunt.
*Looks at Taron*
*Looks at Shadow*
*Looks at Krays*
*Ribbit?*
"H'Tor is back in skellie form now. He can't do that anymore, but his pet can...H'Tor, don't let her feed on anything that doesn't attack us, ok?"
H'Tor makes an OK sign with his bony fingers
"Good, now pick up the unconscious guy, we're taking these two to the headmaster."
Tries to get Theo to follow him
"Oh man..."
Grabs ahold of a belt loop and pulls Theo along behind him
*whistling softly to self*
"Huh. Sure has been quiet here. Hope everyone else is okay!"

Ephebe-Spin watches Ephebe's exhaustion, then her mental admission spurs him to action. His mind works furiously for any way of helping her.

** spoiler omitted **
She yawned and laid her head down, unable to stay awake any longer.
Without wasting a second, Spin brings the Caster up in front of his face, doing his best to focus all of his thoughts on the symbol there-on. (Which is quite a feat considering his usual brain-patterns.)
While focusing on the symbol, he tries to think about the moment right before Lysander said these words in draconic:
:: DON'T RESPOND TO LYSANDER… WHATEVER HE SAYS TO YOU! JUST TRUST ME! ::
And with that, the last of Ephebe's temporary powers leak out of his body, including the sensation of her in the back of his mind and her insight into his mind as well...
Time flows backwards for everyone except Spin, and everything is exactly as it was one minute ago. An exhausted Ephebe has just come out of the gemstone and was about to say something in response to a smart-alec comment from Lysander when she abruptly stops. She looks surprised.
"That's...weird." *yawn*
Lysander sits in his tree waiting for an answer and trying to rid himself of the déjà vu sensation he's feeling.
Ephebe ignores Lysander's comment and curls up to rest her eyes for just a minute while the others decide what to do with the prisoners.
"...." Asch shakes a strange feeling from his head almost like......he isn't sure loke this has happened or something.
[MEANWHILE....]
A new student appears in the pavilion, twitching and murmuring about the blackness and the strange voices in his head. Fei gently guides him to a cleric who can cast mind-healing magics.
He then proceeds to help another student with a dislocated shoulder.
Spin shifts back into his normal spikey-haired form, "Leave her be, Lysander… she's exhausted."
He hesitates, "And thanks for helping. So we should take these guys to the Headmaster?"
"H'Tor and I can take them...you all might wanna come too in case of an 'intervention' by his family..."
Krays instructs H'Tor to pick up the unconscious sorceror, and Krays leads the idiot boy by the hem of his shirt
Spin scoops Ephebe off the ground, surprising you with how effortless he makes it look, and follows Krays.
Krays and Fieri march these two up to the headmaster's office
[knock. knock]
Nodding goodbye to his roomie, Spin carries Ephebe to the infirmary, looking for an open cot. He smiles to Nasima when he sees her, speaking immediately when he sees the concern in her eyes, "She's just asleep... somehow she got very, very exhausted. I just wanted to have her checked out anyway. It was an interesting hunt."
He gives her a meaningful look, We'll discuss it later when there are less ears around.
Fieri accompanies Krays to the Headmaster, spinning fire spheres through her fingers just in case of a rescue attempt, but there is surprisingly no interference at all.

One of the clerics checks her out, noting no injuries to her person. It just looks like physical exhaustion to him.
"Do you think this was too easy, or am I just being paranoid?" Krays asks Fieri.
Spin looks relieved, but before the cleric can leave, he asks that Ephebe's mother be notified. "I'm pretty sure she'll want to know how it went for Ephebe."
The cleric nods and has a page sent out for Mrs. Sunwake.
A slightly singed looking Aananda strides into the healer's pavilion, looking like she's in a less than great mood.
Her expression softens when she sees her daughter. She smooths back the hair from Ephebe's face.
"We need to take her someplace less public. There is a great deal to discuss. Yes, I know she's fine," she said, waving away the healer trying to speak to her. "I'll get James. I believe there is a couch in Ryo's office, not that she'd notice in this state if we put her on the floor. It seems that our problem is not going to go away quietly."
"Do you think this was too easy, or am I just being paranoid?" Krays asks Fieri.
"No, this is definitely way too easy. I mean, seriously? They sent a rescue party after a ghost. Why not after this kid?"
As Spin waits with Ephebe and her mother arrives, Fei walks by carrying a large cylinder of some kind. He stops by the cot upon seeing them.
"She...is injured?" he asks.
"Do you think this was too easy, or am I just being paranoid?" Krays asks Fieri."No, this is definitely way too easy. I mean, seriously? They sent a rescue party after a ghost. Why not after this kid?"
"Maybe when I made him...dull...they lost contact and assume he's dead? Or maybe they want us to have him, or even worse they're just that ruthless that they don't care."
"She...is injured?" he asks.
Spin starts, "No. Well.. not that we know of. She just seemed really tired. I think we're about to head to Headmaster Ryo's office." He looks around at the semi-busy infirmary, "How did things go in here?"
"Very...busy," he replies, shouldering the cylinder carefully. "I am...surprised by the number of people here that wish to injure each other..."
:)
"Very...busy," he replies, shouldering the cylinder carefully. "I am...surprised by the number of people that wish to injure each other here."
Spin shrugs, "Well, it's rare when we get to use our gifts... it's fun to get to cut loose. I mean, it seems like no one can really get seriously hurt with the healing wards in place. Plus, most kids don't intend to do any real harm... i guess there are some exceptions."

"Well, that's a chilling thought. Rather plausible too."
*Ribbit*
*Looks at Fieri*
*Looks at H'Tor*
*Looks at Asch*
Half-forgetting Vakkler's orders and disoriented by the acid fog, Slarrow launches a glob of slime at....Aananda.
"Very...busy," he replies, shouldering the cylinder carefully. "I am...surprised by the number of people that wish to injure each other here."Spin shrugs, "Well, it's rare when we get to use our gifts... it's fun to get to cut loose. I mean, it seems like no one can really get seriously hurt with the healing wards in place. Plus, most kids don't intend to do any real harm... i guess there are some exceptions."
Fei just looks confused, but is interrupted by a nurse calling him to bring the nanite cylinder he's 'holding hostage' in his arm before he can continue their conversation.
"I am glad she is not hurt. If you will excuse me?" he says apologetically with a bow as he moves off to get back to work.
"Indeed."
Curiosity getting the best of him, he casts detect magic on Theo and studies him, looking for anything out of place

Taron pulls a small bag from a pouch on his belt and hands it to Asch.
"I'm going to go with Ephebe as back-up in case the Hunters try something again. There's ten gold in that bag." He says as he follows the group of family and friends.
"Hi Mom! Guess who can handle a werewolf!" He says with a smile as he gestures toward his torn clothes.
Aananda sidesteps the slime without even noticing it as she left the infirmary, not hearing the annoyed protest of the hapless student who got struck by it instead.
