The last listener introduces shakes hands with Melody and introduces herself.
"Belyu Shardae. You're new to Avalon, right?"
One person stays behind for a moment when the cloud disperses. Drawn by the new music, Belyu found this band wasn't too bad at all, even thought they were a little short on members.
The last listener introduces shakes hands with Melody and introduces herself.
"Belyu Shardae. You're new to Avalon, right?"
yeah, just got here this morning, transfer from another school.
So you like the music? Been workin on some more new stuff. Do you play?
Belyu frowns for a moment.
"Not anymore. You were pretty good, but maybe you should have waited until after dinner."
Belyu frowns for a moment.
"Not anymore. You were pretty good, but maybe you should have waited until after dinner."
Why after dinner? better crowds then or something?
"There are band tryouts in the basements after dinner. You'll probably get a lot of people for your unfilled spots."
"There are band tryouts in the basements after dinner. You'll probably get a lot of people for your unfilled spots."
well then I guess this was just a little advertisement then. you thinkin of trying out? I got an extra guitar over there if you want to give it a go?
"I haven't felt like being in a band for a long time." She sighs. "As much as I liked to play, I'm not up to it anymore."
"ah, Mobius. I don't need one.. He picks up some steel, and concentrates. Blue flame wreathed the steel for about 30 seconds, and it was almost liquid. He stopped, and began shaping the near-molten metal with his bare hands.
Watches with interest as his brother works the metal...
"Wow, never cease to amaze bro." he says with a sigh
"hello, but as you see, we are making a deal," one of the two identical cats says"Yeah, Mom, got it."
Jiminy teleported to the location where the blip came from.
"Uh....hi. I'm pretty sure you've got some explaining to do."
"Is that what you do? Make deals? Sorry, but I'm trying to catch up. Mom was pretty pissed about you getting into restricted areas and all."
::Maybe you should be angry. But...I don't think being angry will help anything. That's a lot of energy to waste on something you can't change. It seems like more of a time for sad than angry to me.::::But how can I be sad with such a beautiful hyena in my arms?:: he snuggles her again, as the scenery around them changes to a pleasant meadow. He pushes away the bad thoughts and memories and focuses on the here and now, the comfort he gets, just from being near her, even in her animal form.
::I can change back if you want. I just can't really do the telepathy thing in human form and this was the only way to be able to talk to you. Or I can stay just like this. For as long as you like.::
"I'm still waiting." He remains with his hand out.
"Is that what you do? Make deals? Sorry, but I'm trying to catch up. Mom was pretty pissed about you getting into restricted areas and all.""hello, but as you see, we are making a deal," one of the two identical cats says"Yeah, Mom, got it."
Jiminy teleported to the location where the blip came from.
"Uh....hi. I'm pretty sure you've got some explaining to do."
"yes that is all..." The cat says...." Would you like to make a deal? "
"I haven't felt like being in a band for a long time." She sighs. "As much as I liked to play, I'm not up to it anymore."
melody seems saddened by her situation.
Not to pry much but can I ask why? it just might be the music that your really missing? you know you never forget how to play, come on give it try. might just bring a amile to your face.
"yes that is all..." The cat says...." Would you like to make a deal? ""Is that what you do? Make deals? Sorry, but I'm trying to catch up. Mom was pretty pissed about you getting into restricted areas and all.""hello, but as you see, we are making a deal," one of the two identical cats says"Yeah, Mom, got it."
Jiminy teleported to the location where the blip came from.
"Uh....hi. I'm pretty sure you've got some explaining to do."
"Oh, I'm all about making deals." *innocent grin*
::I can change back if you want. I just can't really do the telepathy thing in human form and this was the only way to be able to talk to you. Or I can stay just like this. For as long as you like.::
::I like talking to you, but whatever makes you more comfortable. You are kinda small, and it's a bit strange cuddling like this, but I don't mind:: While it's true he wasn't attracted to her in this form, he still knew it was her. And she was still here for him, even though without the silence around them, he would do exactly what he had just done to Anahita, to her.
Hmmm.... What kind of deal? " the left cat asks shimmering and becoming the black robed figure we all love
The group eating outside (not close enough to the lake to have been splashed by hydra antics) is approached by a pair of boys making a beeline for Dave.
"Hey, Dave," the dark-haired boy said, smiling. "We've been looking everywhere for you. Got a minute?"
"We were the best band in the school, and they just.. just left without telling me. I hate them for that, but I can't get over how it felt playing with Taron and Kamenwati. Tare could mix music and emotion perfectly, and it's like Kam's very survival depended on each song he played..."
"But that's gone. All I do now is listen to other bands, make stage outfits for nobody, and sing some occasional karaoke before concerts. Well, I do a bit of people watching too, but that's got nothing to do with bands."
Dave looks up "sure thing, whatcha need"
Hmmm.... What kind of deal? " the left cat asks shimmering and becoming the black robed figure we all love
"My terms are simple. I don't do complicated contract stuff. That's Dennis's area of expertise, not mine. One, you stay out of security restricted areas unless I invite you. Two, you do no harm to students, faculty, or guests of this school. Three, you do no harm to the inhabitants of Kuros unless you are acting in self-defense or immediate defense of another. In exchange for meeting those conditions I agree not to bend reality in such a way that your next trip to the plane of shadow is very....short. With those terms in place I propose a continued exchange of information in a manner that should prove mutually beneficial. Is this acceptable? Cause we can go back to the reality bending stuff if it isn't...."
Hmmm.... What kind of deal? " the left cat asks shimmering and becoming the black robed figure we all love
"oh sure that other guy was more important than me at the moment but now you go and drop me for this guy. What happened to" he mimics the thugs voice "its bad luck to leave the table." He appears in front of the masked man. "Can we just shake so I can go?" His paw remains outstretched.

Melody tries to understand how she feels, but never experienced such things it is diffcult.
then she gives a amile
Listen, You see Kai over there packing up? all he ever cared about was combat, and fighting, I helped him find an outlet intead of fighting. well now I want to help you.
she thinks a second you got outfits? well you can join up make the outfits, help with the sheet music, ideas for songs, all that kind of stuff.
and before long you'll want to be out on that stage again. but now playing for you. you see music is in you girl, no point denying it, you got to let it out. show the whole world how beautiful it is

And she was still here for him, even though without the silence around them, he would do exactly what he had just done to Anahita, to her.
Her form shifted and twisted as he held her and he found himself with an armful of girl instead of hyena. She smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Dave looks up "sure thing, whatcha need"
"I was hoping you could give us some advice. We're having some trouble with getting our sports club off the ground cause people don't really take us seriously. And you're more of a people person, so I thought maybe you could, I dunno....steer us in the right direction?"

Agreed" holds hand out to each
"I had a different reason for playing when I started, but it's gone. I think I'll just stick to outfits."
Midori stood about looking confused at what had just occured... another monster! With a cute snake friend. This place is so confusing! If only Okaasan or Otousan were here... even Aniki. Someone. Some...one...
Midori seems to suddenly gaze off towards a group of older students who were having lunch outside, her gaze seeming to lock on one of the individuals. She stumbles, suddenly graceless, towards him, before snapping out of the mometary reverie. She looks around at her classmates. "I'll be right back, Mina-san!"
She makes her way over to the group of students at the lake, seeming almost drawn, or perhaps called.
The young girl - no more than 10 or 11, walks up behind the pair that had just joined them. Her longish black hair is pulled into a functional ponytail, and she moves with a well-trained grace. Her skin a golden-hued, and her irises are a soft golden colour. She has a fluted pearly white horn, a few inches long, protruding from her forehead. Her garb is entirely black, and looks as though she could move easily and well in it. It's not quite spandex, but it does hug her fairly tightly, with not much loose fabric. She is wearing a holster and toolkit on her left leg, one pouch of which is currently open, leaving visible several sharp weapons. Kunai and shuriken.
Still remembering her manners, she waits just to the side of the two boys taking about sports, and waits until they are done talking to the one her eyes are fixed on - David. Something about him reminded her of both her father and her brother at the same time. Same confident demeanor, even though he appeared to be an angel made of diamond and gold.
Dave looks up "sure thing, whatcha need""I was hoping you could give us some advice. We're having some trouble with getting our sports club off the ground cause people don't really take us seriously. And you're more of a people person, so I thought maybe you could, I dunno....steer us in the right direction?"
"hmm, just refreshing my memory, this is the in the air air hockey right? well, have you thought of getting a faculty member to help you out? I mean I don't really know what's involved in getting a club off the ground" he pauses "what have you tried so far?"
Her form shifted and twisted as he held her and he found himself with an armful of girl instead of hyena. She smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder.
He smiles - unblocked by his scarf - and sighs contentedly, if silently. He just holds her there for a long while. Words weren't needed anyway. He kisses the top of her head once again, and simply lays there with her, enjoying her scent and the feel of her arms around him.

I mean I don't really know what's involved in getting a club off the ground" he pauses "what have you tried so far?"
"We got the forms and everything from the student council like we were supposed to, but we haven't been able to convince anyone to be the faculty advisor. And our recruiting efforts are...less than spectacular. Umm....well, that's why we thought you might be able to help since people listen to you and stuff."
Joneh just stood there beside Rodhas basically hanging off of Dave's every word.
"I had a different reason for playing when I started, but it's gone. I think I'll just stick to outfits."
so your willing to at least with outfits then?t help us with outfits then? then come on over and meet Kai, ok?
melody heads over to Kai seeing if belyu follows
The real catfolk takes the hand offered to him. At the end of the shake he holds you in an intense cold grip. Thick ice flows up the arm and encases the shadowy figure in ice. As this happens he coldly begins to explain. "I don't appreciate people spying on me and my friends and I really don't appreciate people stealing my style." At the end of the action the person is incased in a two foot thick sheet of ice all around. He looks at the other person. "He is dangerous sneaky and not to be trusted. Do what you want with him. But do it fast that won't last forever."

Jiminy grasped his hand firmly. WoM found himself with a sudden aversion to certain areas of the school as a result. "Those are the restricted areas. Come find me any time about the information exchange."

Jiminy shook his head. "I offered him an agreement and he took it. It isn't retroactive, but from now on if he breaks his end he's subject to whatever I want to do to him. You want to take vengeance for spying that's on you, but I can't afford to throw away such a valuable resource. If he proves trustworthy....well, information is the key to winning wars. If not I lose nothing but time."
grim flys after him and once they get a significant distance away he shouts "wait up, it's ok we don't have to go back there for a while at least"
Hew's eyes fill to the breaking point with anger and free pushing tears of mental pain out. Once Midori steps in Hew slips past her and rushes out the door. The vision fade as we gains distance but the damage has been done. He thoughts filled with rage, not of today's assailant but of the memories of the past. The memories of torment. He didn't know where he was going nor was he watching his path he had no destination in mind. Just away from that thing.
Hew had barely heard Grim over his own thought. Rather than stop Hew slowed his pace. Till grim caught up. "I'm not going back there not just yet." He growled without even looking to Grim. Soon the two found them selves in the heavy blades class room. AS soon as Hew sees the practice dummies. He holds his hand out to tell Grim to stop as he transformed the sword and struck the dummies. It took only a few seconds for three of the dummies to fall apart completely. He yelled as he struck the dummies. Any fear he had before a had became overwhelmed with a rage.
"hmm, ok. well for one this is a physical activity, you might want to ask, the Physicial education teacher, or the flying teacher. and flyers are useful, they help raise awareness, so that you can rely less on charisma and word of mouth. one thing that helps get faculty to back you is seeing how much work is already put into it, for instance uniforms, I can get my room mate to make some, if you go to the teachers with uniforms and rules and equipment already made then they will be much more likely to agree. next think about what would make people like your sport, for one it's new, people usually like new things. two it's familiar- but not too familiar. people usually don't want to learn new rules all over again. three, it's in the freaking sky, people like flying, this goes double for those who can't do it normally, the rush involved in flying is like nothing else, expand on that, when you next go out and spread word I'll join you, but just to be clear I do have a band audition thing tonight so I won't be able to help with that"
well he found his snake, not much help I can be or even was, here.
I think I'm begining to understand, the path of the Avatar can be a lonely path.
Lang wanders over to the pier.
standing on the edge of the pier looking out over the water.
after several moament Lang just starts to practice again, seems he finds calmness in his bending practice.
pulling several globes of water he makes them circle around him like orbiting planets. maintianing control of each of the three orbs.
wanting to try something new he freezes his form and the globes stop in mid air, then with a circular motion he releases an icy breath to encase all the globes making three balls of solid ice.
Lang then takes a new stance, he is almost in a trance like state and one by one he shatters each of the ice globes and the shards fall to the ground and liquify on contact.
once done. he begins the whole routine again.
Why are people with you Sorun?
Renkai finishes sorting just as they arrive
Kai, this is Beylu, I think she has agreed to help us make a band, did you know about a band thing tonight after dinner? anyway she might be able to help with costuming and wardrobe, I would live to hear her play again but I don't think she can anymore.
Beylu, this is renkai, but I just call him Kai,
Hew had barely heard Grim over his own thought. Rather than stop Hew slowed his pace. Till grim caught up. "I'm not going back there not just yet." He growled without even looking to Grim.

grim looks on concerned "would you like a more... reactive target" grims eyes start to glow again as does his scythe not very bright but they do glow.
"hello" he says politely "and no... I did not know that..."

Joneh has pulled out a piece of paper and is taking notes.
"Yeah, thanks, if you could ask your roommate about the uniforms that would be awesome. You're the coolest!"
Dave raises his eye at the note taking and chuckles "sure thing, I'll ask Tyb next time I see him" he then turns to midori "yes, did you want something?"
