"Yet I ran over here without regard for the superheated meatal."" were you aware of the fact?"
"Of course. I'm aware of a lot of things. Forging at a party just stands out more."
She laughed, taking his use of her title as a joke. "I would love to. I'm not really a stand on the sidelines type," she said taking his hand and heading out on the dance floor.
She shrieked a little and laughed again as Dom lost control of the water and her dress was now pretty much soaked...and pretty much see-through, revealing a black bikini underneath.
"Ack! Ardiente is startled just as much as Raelle as they are drenched in water... and dancing with Raelle just became a much more dangerous prospect. She's just your friend, don't think of her that way. Focus on dancing, not on looking.
"Alright, I've been practicing, get ready!" Ardiente begins with some of basic maneuvers he had been trying with Tamina the evening of the dance, just to see how good Raelle was, before trying anything more complicated. His arms are strong and sure, and he moves with the lithe grace of a martial artist.
When she was distracted she was a good dancer, but as soon as she became aware of her movements she would stumble. Her lack of self-confidence is particularly evident on the dance floor.
"Oh, sorry. Thinking out loud. It's a terrible habit. The problem with muting Ehos's sounds is that he's pulling in such a tremendous amount of power that it's impossible to counter without also pulling in a tremendous amount of power. I was considering whether linking a suppression device to Fei's nanosuit so that his excess kinetic energy would provide the power for it would be a good idea...and then I remembered that my daughter would probably throw a fit if I used her boyfriend as a battery for an experiment." ^.^
"There's also the question of long-term usability. I don't think Ehos is in a hurry to go anywhere right now." again, Tyrrin sounds annoyed. "Short-term solutions aren't really the problem. If all else fails, we can use a scroll of Permanency with a silence spell, though he won't be able to hear anything."

"Of course. I'm aware of a lot of things. Forging at a party just stands out more."
"I have to agree with Belyu. There's a place for that kind of thing. Not all of us like heat as much as the Firebirds." Vai says, then remembers the rumour that Belyu said was going around about her. "But that doesn't mean we want to be zapped either!" she adds, seemingly out of nowhere.
Dave continues to play keeping an eye on ardiente and Raelle, he spots a pair of kids, one of them looking at him wierd, wait a miniute, that's that kid from earlier um um midori that's right, wonder who her friend is, probably not important ::Skeets, fireworks set up?::
::yes sir, fireworks are in position, ready to launch on your comand::
::good, lets launch them at the end of this song, do it exactly on my mark::
::yes sir::
Ace twirls around, and throws out his hands "Ta da!!" He's now wearing just a pair of swim shorts. He has eight pac abs, and his arms are toned and muscular, but not huge or bulging.
"So, how do I look?"
Dom knows Melody and he can see that even though she is playing well and appears to be having fun. he knows her well enough to see she is holding back some in her playing. it doesn't have the same passion he remembers.
it's as if she is playing to make Renkai look better
Renkai finishes the song and grins to the audience, then sets the guitar to the side spins melody around and dips her...
"will you go out with me Melody Waverider?" He asks softly....through his voice carries to the audience....
<blink> <blink>
The question caught her completely off guard.
she looks and Renkai then to Dom hopeing to see his approval, then to the audience. she delayed long enough...
yes is all she could say.
then in an instant her her hand went straigh to Dom's mouth shut it
yes I will she give him a hug then turns back to Dom and gives him a hug too.
I'm growing up Dommie, but I still need you around
"There's also the question of long-term usability. I don't think Ehos is in a hurry to go anywhere right now." again, Tyrrin sounds annoyed. "Short-term solutions aren't really the problem. If all else fails, we can use a scroll of Permanency with a silence spell, though he won't be able to hear anything."
"Tyrrin, not meaning to pry, but what are you mad at your brother about?"
Melody is careful to only play by the band's lead she is a guest on stage.
Kai shows up on stage Melody just smiles and he can see she is really glad to have him there beside her.
Melody then looks down to Bel, smiles. knowing it is useless to get her on stage. Melody just winks at her and continues to play.

When she was distracted she was a good dancer, but as soon as she became aware of her movements she would stumble. Her lack of self-confidence is particularly evident on the dance floor.
Realizing what was holding her back, Ardiente's orange eyes flash with fire (not literally), and he leans in on a particularly difficult move, and says, just loud enough to be heard over the music. "You are terrific Raelle! A natural!" he swings her around a bit harder, in an effort to keep her distracted from thinking of moving, and simply moving. It was a basic martial technique in martial arts, just to allow your movements to flow. The best way to make it happen was to push someone to their limit, and then their body would take care of the rest... unless they didn't.
Ardiente was ready to catch Raelle if she stumbled during the complex moves, to save her from embarrassment.
Ace twirls around, and throws out his hands "Ta da!!" He's now wearing just a pair of swim shorts. He has eight pac abs, and his arms are toned and muscular, but not huge or bulging.
"So, how do I look?"
Ginni clapped her hands. "That is an awesome trick!"
"And you look yummy....in a very different way than I'm used to saying that," she said, teasing, but with a definite spark of interest in her eyes.
Dom loses all his concentration as he hears Renkai. Water he had been holding up suddenly fell to the ground. Splashing members of the audience and the band. Most of the audience took it as there invitation to jump in the lake.Dom knows Melody and he can see that even though she is playing well and appears to be having fun. he knows her well enough to see she is holding back some in her playing. it doesn't have the same passion he remembers.

Renkai finishes the song and grins to the audience, then sets the guitar to the side spins melody around and dips her...
"will you go out with me Melody Waverider?" He asks softly....through his voice carries to the audience....
Junny jumps up and using Storms PA system says,
“Thanks every one , we will be back for a last set, eat, drink, hot tubs and time for a lake swim if your in the mood”
Edit daves fire works the
Storm plays light dance music for the dancers as a sign the set has ended.
Johnny gos to mix and greet s/hes gests
"2-to-1 odds it has something to do his girlfried being in the simroom with him. Tyrrin didn't visit her brother for very long earlier..." [I]Taron does not look away from the screen at all ash gives out odds."
Renkai grins and looks every inch the dashing rogue
he drops the mask from his face with a loud clatter and sweeps off his hat, flinging it into the crowd then dips her once more and kisses her softly
his eye catches Dom's and he nods while shrugging a shoulder, then closes his eyes tight and enjoys the feel of Melody
On her way there, Anahita spots a curiosity - a girl no older than 10 or 11 years old. A girl with shoulder-length matte-black hair (obviously dyed from it's natural colour), golden-hued skin, a fluted pearly white unicorn horn protruding from her forehead, and slit pupils stands almost seeming to enraptured by the performance, her eyes on David in particular. Her skin-tight black clothing looks a little worse for wear - acid splashes perhaps - and there is a holster and toolkit tied around her left leg.Searching around for a bit, Anahita at one point pauses and does another sweep visually of the area. Her keen eye sight seeking something in particular out.
Spotting Ardiente with others, she smiles briefly before continuing her seeking.
With a light frown, however, and then a pause of expressionless thought, Anahita then walks off towards the duck pond.
Perhaps Bradley was still there.
Lang was with those two but stayed more to the backa bit. Lang still fressed the same in his monk robes very plain around his neck is a simple carved amulet with This symbol carved on it
"Tyrrin, not meaning to pry, but what are you mad at your brother about?"
"Oh, it's nothing. He's just using his plight to take advantage of my best friend, who has had a crush on him for a long while now. I walked in on him sticking his tongue down her throat. He's going to end up hurting her, I know what he's like with girls. It's her choice, but it annoys me that he's taking advantage of her."
She glares at Taron. "I'm pretty sure they would've told me if they were dating. No. I know my brother. He doesn't date girls. He sleeps with them."
At the end of the last song Dave sends a comand to Skeets ::now!:: Skeets launches a mind bolt at a trigger and several fireworks, magical and mundane launch into the air, Dave makeing them explode further with his own power over fire, after a significant quantity of firework fire is in the air Dave makes it spell out, "Welcome to Avalon class of ]" he then hops off stage and goes to Raelle and Ardiente and says "mind if I cut in?"

Ok first the question, now this the thoughts race through her mind.
he was charming and nice, but am I ready for this, is Dom ready for this....Oh shut it you idiot and enjoy it
she just lets go and allowes her emotions to take over. at least for the moment
If you are using me to get at Dom for something, you are going to regret it. but if your sincere, then you, my boy, better buckle your seatbelt, because you are in for a wild ride
"Mom... my mobius strip idea. What if we used his own magic to power the silence? I'm just getting a variety of results from these tests I ran."
"actually I like Dom he's a cool guy.... And who uses seat belts? I love danger with my fun..." Renkai whispers back after pulling himself and her into a standing position....
"did you bring swim suit?"
"My father was the alpha of our pack. When I was still a child and my brother was no more than a cub our uncle organized a coup so he could become the alpha. Not that uncommon among lycan tribes. But he was paranoid. He was afraid that one of us would try to take over from him. I tried to lay low, be just strong enough, but not too strong. I tried to protect my brother. I followed the rules because I thought it would keep him safe. In the end I was wrong. My uncle made up some offense that my brother had supposedly committed. I tried to stop him, but I was just a few seconds too late." His voice was completely toneless as he recited the bare facts of what happened. He was careful not to provide too many details. Grief wasn't an emotion he was comfortable showing.Sigh
"It's so much more complicated than that...""No. It's not. One of these days you're gonna realize that, kid. People make things complicated cause they're afraid."
There was a long pause.
"If I'd figured that out sooner my little brother might still be alive."
"It's not fear. It's not wanting to put her through hardship on my account. It's not wanting to cause problems for my family. It just isn't
in the cards...""What happened?" in reference to the comment about his brother.
"Wow...what did you do?"
Dom hops off the stage after Melody hugs him. Typically the place he would go think at was the lake, but it was out of the question tonight. Dom smiled to the new fans that congratulated on the set, but he didn't join the party as one would have thought instead he walked away. Into the gardens he went, to the very place Tamina had taken him. The place was calming to him, but it wasn't calming he needed. He needed to think about everything that was happening in his life.
"Mom... my mobius strip idea. What if we used his own magic to power the silence? I'm just getting a variety of results from these tests I ran."
"What kind of results? Let me see....and wouldn't this just cause him to be a bigger drain on the wards? Or can we incorporate this into the power he's already drawing?"
He bows and holds out his arm for her to take "Why thank you my dear, now on to the party!"
"Wow...what did you do?"
"Ripped his gods damned throat out. And walked away and never looked back. I never wanted to be a part of that society ever again....and then thanks to a witch with mind-controlling powers ended up in charge of a pack of sorts here at Avalon for a while. Breaking free hasn't been easy."
"Talking about Fei gave me an idea. If we can use Fei's molecular vibrations as extra power for the school's power grid, why can't we use Ehos' sonic vibrations to power the silence magic?"
He bows and holds out his arm for her to take "Why thank you my dear, now on to the party!"
Ginni and Ace got to the party just as folks were starting to run to the lake thanks to Dom losing control of the water stuff, so it took them a while to make it inside the tent, and they got there just as the band was breaking up after a very short set due to internal drama.
"Talking about Fei gave me an idea. If we can use Fei's molecular vibrations as extra power for the school's power grid, why can't we use Ehos' sonic vibrations to power the silence magic?"
"But this doesn't answer my question about whether this would cause him to pull more power from the wards than he already does."
"You're right, though. It would work."
Melody watches Dom walk off he was unusally quiet.
she looks back at kai would you excuse me please
Melody jumps off the stage and goes to walk with Dom
catching up with him Dom? wanna talk?
Melody watches Dom walk off he was unusally quiet.

Melody jumps off the stage and goes to walk with Dom

"as you desire..." Renkai responds easily, still utterly happy, then goes to retrieve his hat and mask....
At the end of the last song Dave sends a comand to Skeets ::now!:: Skeets launches a mind bolt at a trigger and several fireworks, magical and mundane launch into the air, Dave makeing them explode further with his own power over fire, after a significant quantity of firework fire is in the air Dave makes it spell out, "Welcome to Avalon class of ]" he then hops off stage and goes to Raelle and Ardiente and says "mind if I cut in?"
"Hi, Dave," she said, smiling at him adoringly. "You guys sounded great! Well...until the whole thing fell apart with Dom being upset about his sister and that other guy."
Ardiente passed Raelle's hand to David, bowing to the pair of them and stepping away. "Please do, she is a wonderful dancer." he says simply, backing away from the pair of lovebirds. He knows when he's lost.
Once a respectable distance, he turns and walks briskly away, searching the crowd for a distraction. Tamina maybe? She was an excellent dancer.
Ace looks around at the band having already finished "Well, they must have really sucked to be finished already. I've been thinking about putting my own band together. At least I know we won't be this bad" He says, walking over to wear the girls are.
He nudges Ginni and says quietly "Check out Morrivan and Sadie. They seem to be really enjoying themselves."
Dom takes a deep breath. As he let it out Melody caught up. "Oh hey. I figured you would be with your new boyfriend the rest of the night. I so don't trust him. At least not enough to trust you with him." Dom looks at the flower buds. They haven't bloomed yet but he knew they were Tamina's favorite.
Ace looks around at the band having already finished "Well, they must have really sucked to be finished already. I've been thinking about putting my own band together. At least I know we won't be this bad" He says, walking over to wear the girls are.
He nudges Ginni and says quietly "Check out Morrivan and Sadie. They seem to be really enjoying themselves."
"They look really happy. You did a good thing there, Ace," she said, squeezing his arm.
"Hey, Tami, how's it going?"
"Well, Dave has a whole following of little kids now apparently...and the one with the unicorn horn....yeah, that just doesn't look like a normal crush to me. And you're right, Raelle is acting weird. We might need to call Miss Jones."
"Oh, and my boyfriend is freaking out cause his sister got asked out in front of everyone and he's not taking it so well."
"Alright, I'm finished being petty. I've got work to do. You have my frequency now if you need to speak with me Professor."
With that, Tyrrin takes her leave, headed for the student council office. She was behind on her paperwork now, and still needed to finish her Seer focus.
"That's why my results are so varied. I have no way of knowing if it will work."
"That's why my results are so varied. I have no way of knowing if it will work."
"Alright, let's run a few more models...if we make adjustments here and here...that might give us better information.."
Ace looks a bit worried about Tami said "Frak. I was hoping this wasn't so serious, but if he's seemingly enthralled a bunch of small children we need to do something. I suppose I should go find Miss Jones, huh? Like now. I don't know if this can wait. What do you girls think?"
He is clearly a bit unsure. Its obvious he wants to help is worried, but he also doesn't want to ruin the party even more.
Eventually Ardiente realizes that Tamina had been much closer than he had been expecting. Well, he couldn't walk back there and maintain his dignity, so Ardiente just reassumes his bird form and flies out of the tent, up onto the roof of the school. Too many confused feelings. Was Avalon a blessing, or a curse?
Johnnys gos and gets changed from s/he wet cloths, comming out in a swimsuit and with s/he,s full body tattoo art work animated in scintillating colors to fine light , its shockingly beautiful, and shifts to reflect s/he moods and comments, eredacing when s/he's. Johnnys manners are impeccable, toning down s/he tattoo to not out shine others, s/he is polite and curtius to every , making small talk but never gossiping. Storm is even talking to a few guest's answering questions and talking about his plans for a flower garden.
Starlight is dancing human size with an elf in the ar to the 1920’the /30s jazz like band music Strom is playing for every one to dance to.
Dom takes a deep breath. As he let it out Melody caught up. "Oh hey. I figured you would be with your new boyfriend the rest of the night. I so don't trust him. At least not enough to trust you with him." Dom looks at the flower buds. They haven't bloomed yet but he knew they were Tamina's favorite.
Dom, I...I would rather be with both of you. but you have Tamina, and I trust her, why don't you trust him? he has been nothing but nice..
she suddenly stops, I'm lecturing. Dom are you afraid of loosing me? cuase if you are, don't worry, I'll always need you.
she gives Dom a big hug you'll always be my big brother, and no matter what happens we will always have each other, even when Tamina and Renkai are in our past we will still have each other
seeing Dom look at the flower buds.
you know I don't really believe in magic but that doesn't mean I can't do a little of my own.
Melody pulls out her little wand and makes some adjustments. and then points it at a flower bud. with a light glow the flower blooms. she picks it and gives it to Dom. take it, you know what to do
