Lang looks to Sorun well, looks like she isn't available. I might aa well get you back to the lake.
come on Sorun lets go he helps him get up and starts to guide him back to the lake.
Sorun is happily passed out slumped there.... Snoring lightly.
He laughs at bit at her last statement "Its a good thing I am well versed in the seven deadly sins. I used to try and break most of them in a given day. You're talking about the sloth. Very cute indeed, but kinda random to have as a favorite" He says this last teasingly.
[b]"Man I'm off tonight. I didn't think before I said that. I'm sorry. I am relived that that you still feel comfortable with me though." Dom holds her not wanting to let go. "At least there is still an hour before tryouts. I might end up needing to find a replacement basist, I doubt anyone is going to like him being up there let alone his own feelings about being in front of everyone."

"I'm fine, Hew-kun. I just don't understand what is happening." she seems to be cautiously moving around, as if not entirely sure her senses were accurate. She blinks and pauses momentarily , then stands up straight. "It's over, whatever it was."
"I think we should still go see Blackscales-sensei. Grim-kun says I'm... manifesting... something? Is that like when I turn things to metal?"
"Come one Grim! Lets get her to Blackscale." Hew rushes to her to help her stand. Then he sees the teacher. "Unless you can do something?" Hew looked scared for his friend.
Belyu gently folds her hands around the butterfly. When she opens her hands, it's gone.
"I passed out from fear and run home as soon as I woke up. You have a boyfriend. I'm guessing your relationship lasted more than two hours." Bel slips into the water too, her outfit doubling as a swimsuit. She sighs as the heat envelopes her. "And as soon as I got to Avalon I joined a band that was brand new."
"Fei... it's different with him. He has never been anything but respectful, honest and forthright towards me. Even then... just touching is scary. It's getting better slowly. We've been dating for 4 months, and I finally managed to kiss him on the cheek the other day." Vai sinks deeper into the water, smiling shyly at the memory. They image of the life - the hope - in Fei's eyes and on his face would always be with her. "And then they up and left." Vai says, finding a jet and putting her back to it. Not for the first time, Vai was glad she wasn't big-chested as she looked around at some of the other girls, who looked like they had floatation devices attatched to them. "That must have been difficult. And you're alright being alone now?"
"It's... easier now. Somehow, knowing there are entire planets out there helps a lot. You don't have to worry about me getting lonely, but thank you . It's nice talking to someone new for a change."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Come one Grim! Lets get her to Blackscale." Hew rushes to her to help her stand. Then he sees the teacher. "Unless you can do something?" Hew looked scared for his friend.
"Matte kudasai,... please wait a moment, Hew-kun. There is... a loose end here." Midori hadn't really understood what had just happened here. David-san seemed alot less like her otousama, and he looked... sad. Broken, almost. She didn't like that. He had been kind to her.
The little idyllkin gently pads up to David, her clothing still the worse for wear, and places a gentle hand on David's, not wanting to startle him. If he looks up, she meets his eyes, but otherwise she simply says: "Sumimasen, sensei." to Miss Jones, if she had interrupted her. "I don't really understand this, Dave-senpai. But you were kind to me, and I think you are a good person. I hope I can continue to be your friend." the hero-worship that Midori had before is gone, replaced by a simple compassion for a man who looked as if he was teetering on the breaking point.

Dave does indeed look up, and tears in his eyes he says "thank you, but I may have ruined everything... I..I should never have come here... " the last sentence was spoken in a horse whisper.
Lang takes a seat next to him yeah maybe later, budSorun is happily passed out slumped there.... Snoring lightly.Lang looks to Sorun well, looks like she isn't available. I might aa well get you back to the lake.
come on Sorun lets go he helps him get up and starts to guide him back to the lake.
The door of the home ec room opens and Ignace comes out carrying a bundle.
"Oh! Lang. Did you knock? I didn't hear you. I didn't think the sewing machine was that loud, but I guess I just got absorbed in what I was doing."
"I...finished your replacement coat," she said, offering it to him with a smile. "I hope you get lots of chances to wear this one."
Midori shook her head in the negative, causing her matte-black hair to fan out briefly before falling flat once again "Live in the present, David-senpai. Do not dwell on the past. Plan for the future, but do not live there either. You can't change what you have done, but you can still be a good person." something seems to occur to Midori, and she fishes for something in her toolkit. She draws out a length of yellow silk ribbon, about 6 inches long, which she proceeds to wordlessly tie it into a bow around David's left wrist. "David-senpai, a small gift for you. If you ever doubt that you are a good person, keep this to remind you that, there is at least one person who thinks you are."
"Matte kudasai,... please wait a moment, Hew-kun. There is... a loose end here." Midori hadn't really understood what had just happened here.

I hope I can continue to be your friend." the hero-worship that Midori had before is gone, replaced by a simple compassion for a man who looked as if he was teetering on the breaking point.
"Ok" Hew calmed down once she asked for him to hold on he still had a very worried expression, but he understood that she needed to speak to Dave. He wasn't fully aware of the situation, so he didn't want to interfere. Whispering to him self. "Zilla shush she just wants to help him as well. She's not being ungrateful." Hew stayed near Midori just in case she lost her strength.
He laughs at bit at her last statement "Its a good thing I am well versed in the seven deadly sins. I used to try and break most of them in a given day. You're talking about the sloth. Very cute indeed, but kinda random to have as a favorite" He says this last teasingly.
She shrugged. "I like random. It's why I have a new favorite color every day. Today is peach. Yesterday was yellow. Who knows what tomorrow will be. And sloths are cute. So they're my favorite."
"Although I'm also quite fond of the one that looks like it was put together from lots of different animals. I don't know the name of that one either."
"It's... easier now. Somehow, knowing there are entire planets out there helps a lot. You don't have to worry about me getting lonely, but thank you . It's nice talking to someone new for a change."
"I would offer to take you out there," Vai indicates the sky with a broad motion, seeming to relax more and more the longer they were immersed in the soothing, hot water. "but thanks to Taron, it's really not safe right now."
[b]"Man I'm off tonight. I didn't think before I said that. I'm sorry. I am relived that that you still feel comfortable with me though." Dom holds her not wanting to let go. "At least there is still an hour before tryouts. I might end up needing to find a replacement basist, I doubt anyone is going to like him being up there let alone his own feelings about being in front of everyone."
"Yeah, I have a feeling that it's gonna be a while before Dave is up to playing in front of a crowd."
"I hope this doesn't mess up your band too much."
Standing there, Anahita .. trances out, two to three seconds, as he mentions the bird bit, and then blinking, comes out of the trance nodding as if nothing had passed.
"We have options, I will prepare so you can be a creature. In fact, you can be one of any. Many choices there, Bradley. It will be a pleasure to share my magics with you for that end. Your smile and temperament is ..soothing, unlike others I have met. I do not believe in either case it would be an abuse of my gifts."
Then, towards the stables, she seems pretty nonchalant in her statement, saying, "I do not ride animals by choice. If one were to freely offer me a chance to be it's mount, I would consider it, but it is not necessary in my existence. If you wanted to visit the town, however, I know where it is."
Then, a moment or two later, she looks him in the eyes and asks, "Do you feel I have abandoned you? Now or earlier?"
"Why would you ask that? You talk with me more than anyone else is willing to. You seem to have a lot of energy and don't really stay still easily. But you come back when you're done with whatever it is you do. So it's fine."
"And if you don't ride, why is your only memory of having fun about a horse? Did I misunderstand? I just wanted to help you. Since you spend so much time helping me."
Dom grew a cocky smile. "Nah I'm sure I'll find another if he doesn't show to tryouts. Besides after the first part of the night who wouldn't want to be up there with my band." He was pretty sure of himself when it came to music. "I'm just worried about how much time it will cut into my time with you."
Laughing he says "Platypus? Chimera? Uh.."
He then shifts into a sloth and gives her a big, slow hug.
Belyu smiles and indicates the sky herself.
"Thanks to Taron, I know about them. Right now, that's enough."
"I still want to punch him though."
Belyu smiles and indicates the sky herself.
"Thanks to Taron, I know about them. Right now, that's enough."
"I still want to punch him though."
"It's thanks to him that I don't have to hide who I am. We decided to reveal ourselves because of what he did. I won't stop you if you want to punch him though. Just remember that he's a girl for now." Vai is practically floating on her back now, more and more relaxed she is getting, letting her guard down, the tension of the crowd melting away.
"Why would you ask that? You talk with me more than anyone else is willing to. You seem to have a lot of energy and don't really stay still easily. But you come back when you're done with whatever it is you do. So it's fine."
"And if you don't ride, why is your only memory of having fun about a horse? Did I misunderstand? I just wanted to help you. Since you spend so much time helping me."
Considering the response by Bradley, Anahita is thoughtful for a moment then shakes her head, tossing her wavy hair this way and that, slightly, it is luxurious and full of body, for a few moments.
"Someone ..if I recall, accused me of doing similar, or something like that, but to hear you say otherwise, I am thankful."
Then, looking off and away, as if musing over his other question, Anahita says, "I .. left my home, when I was very young, away from my family. I barely recall any of their faces now. I think I was ..six? Time does not mean much for me, each day is just a part of the every turning cycle of life, which I revere. There is little I do, simply, for fun. The horse ride, on my birthday, a gift of an ..uncle?" She looks thoughtful, as if trying to recall it, "Yes. An uncle. He brought it, for my birthday. I enjoyed the ride. I did not fall. I think shortly after that birthday, I walked out of my house and never looked back. It was a dark brown equine, with little greyish hair out of it's big ears. I fed it an apple."
Her face lights up a bit at the memory of that past, even if it took a while to recall.
She turns to look back at Bradley and smiles, adding, "You do not need to help me, Bradley. I am not injured, I am not hungry. I have fended for myself for forty full seasons, all across the Inner Sea. I am an adventurer, I keep my eye on the Old Ways, and where there is a threat to the balance, and I am present or hear of it, I seek to assist all living things in their growth and change through the cycle. You are no less important. It is a shame that anyone thinks less of you due to what you have, for you appear noble and willing to endure hardship to prosper. For that reason, you remind me of the various heroes I have traveled with, doing wonderful deeds."
The short tale, however, might be noticed by Bradley as lacking much terminology such as, 'friends'. More, duty and acting, without time for someone to grow up through childhood and their teens.
Though, after this, she does look down and frown at her feet, then back up at him saying, "I'm not certain ..why I am here, though, but I thank you for your concern. If you might help in guiding me to what I must do, I would be most grateful. I can see many people here that may need assistance, but not specifically any need for aid for all I have learned. Healing.. perhaps healing." She seems to nod at that, she's healed a few people so far.
With a reach out of her hand, though, completely without thought, she squeezes his hand lightly with her right, her own skin that of someone who's lived in a farm, perhaps- or outdoors, for quite some time. Still, she's warm. Definitely not too girly by most standards. Visually, though, she fits that bill.
Belyu sweeps her hand across the water to splash Vai.
"Didn't I say I didn't want to know how he got eggs?!" She exclaims, blushing.
Starligh is siting bu a hotub in what looks to be a punch bowl full of buble bath enjoying herself
Out past the wards nothing would stop him. No one comes to help. He just keeps falling. For hundreds of feet he plummets tumbling and twisting through the air. Near the ground he smashes chest first into a large tree branch at terminal velocity. It breaks and falls with him. He careans through several more branches bringing a section of branches down on top of him. He is conscious enough to feel it and one thought crossed his mind. I just wanted to help people. as he smashes into the ground an audible CRACK resounds through the area. A twisted arm is brought back around near his face and he manages a single word. "help." a message to Johnny. And then the pain comes. All at once the feeling of smashed bones, wrent limbs, ruptured organs and cuts and gashes hits and he blacks out as a pool of dark almost purple blood pools out on the grass around him.
Storm displaces him to his own medical unit.
PM ty
Fei, noticing a 'thinning out' of the crowd below, decides to risk relocating. He sees Vai enjoying herself with some other students, but makes sure to remain unseen by her - it was good (and necessary) for her to be able to interact with others on her own, and he knows he would only be a distraction from that. While this...saddens him a bit, it is easily countered by his pride in her amazing resilience.
He carefully makes his way down to the lakeside to sit on the dock. The alternate view it gives of the green and the school allows him to continue his drawings from a fresh perspective.
[Sketch Sketch Sketch]
Johnny is in a nice hoptub ful of students.
"Well I just hherd what was said, one guy says he's a throll herder, you know like ou hear about on he news, heading up cults and grime gangs that kind of thing.'
'Ye and dI'd you see thekids they lead off' most of them from he lower school, o my gods what was he going to do with them'
"Someone just told me it girl he had been seeing was one, man is that like rape or some thing"
"One of the guys who knows one of the kids says, Miss Jons said he did not know he was doing it, just that he ha d like a need to control others, so maybe he did not know you know, would not be the first 1st here"
"Ok even if he did not know, kids man, even unknowing who has a deep down need to mind control kids"
Johnny had just about had it,
"I think that's why his band seemed so good, mind control, you know, I bet if we looked at a recording they would suck big time"
That was it,
"look I kow Dave ok, ok like meny here me included he can be a bit full of himself, but a meat ****er no way, he's always been cool with me and he's a good mate of Ty,s its why We are in teh band with Don."
Johnny looks over at the student who dis.ed the band.
"Johnny, I hate to say this but Ty was one of the ones he was controlling"
thunderstruck, like a hammer had just hit Johnny.
Then Ty
“help”
Then storm
::"Johnny I have Ty in my medical Unit, he's done some thing stupid."::
For a moment it just did not register, then Johnny was moving, fast, very very fast out of the hottub in an explotion of water then up and over the ones between s/he and storm, then into Storm and to the Medical unit, where Ty was being rebuilt.
Shock and sadness ,
All johnny could think was ***K! ***K! ***K!
Midori shook her head in the negative, causing her matte-black hair to fan out briefly before falling flat once again "Live in the present, David-senpai. Do not dwell on the past. Plan for the future, but do not live there either. You can't change what you have done, but you can still be a good person." something seems to occur to Midori, and she fishes for something in her toolkit. She draws out a length of yellow silk ribbon, about 6 inches long, which she proceeds to wordlessly tie it into a bow around David's left wrist. "David-senpai, a small gift for you. If you ever doubt that you are a good person, keep this to remind you that, there is at least one person who thinks you are."
Dave just shakes his head and doesn't say anything, he looks like he is holding back tears, and it's takeing all of his focus to do so
Skeets floats over and says to them ::thank you for your concern, it just may have been too little, too late. He probably just needs to clear his head... I hope...::Dave looks up at Skeets,Skeets responds back to everyone ::No! I will not whipe your mind of her, just NO!::
“hello Ty”
Ty your in a bed in a room with a wrll dressed man standing next to your bed,
Big letter in the air in front of you say
*Simulation*
[b]“sorry to wake you like this, I,m an avatar of Storm, here so he can have a chat, your alive and in his sick bay, and well your in a bad way, he knows the last few hours have been hard for you, and something has happened that's upset you deeply now he may be able to help, you can of course say no, so here is what he's offering in the way of help....”[/spoilers]
Pms to you ty and if you agrre ill pm lyn and see if we get a green light :)
igni watched all of this. As far as anyone can tell, he couldn't care any less. He stopped working on his blade, and wated for it to cool. He took out a pencil and paper, and started erasing and writing quickly.
adon, hearing all of this after he returned, had little to say on the subject, other then "yeah, sounds like something that controlling bastard would do. He can't control the possessiveness of his draconic blood, and now it went so much father. Should have focused on control, not power." he explains his distaste of Dave to anyone and everyone willing to listen.
Unsure what else she could do or say, and not quite sure how to respond the telepathic outburst from Skeets, simply bows to the pair, "Oyasumi nasai, Dave-senpai." before turning back to Hew and Grim. "Thank you for waiting for me, and for worrying about me. We should go before... I do again what I did before." Midori walks over and takes the hands of both Hew and Grim, and the trio begin walking back to the elementary school. Midori's grip is tight, probably a little too tight, but she's not terribly strong. Her face is a little troubled, but the further away the trio gets from David, the more that seems to fade away.
Belyu sweeps her hand across the water to splash Vai.
"Didn't I say I didn't want to know how he got eggs?!" She exclaims, blushing.
"Acktphhh!" Vai exclaims pointedly as the splash hits her square in the face. The blush on Belyu's face reminds Vai of her own reaction to Uncle Ryo's teasing earlier. There was another thing they had in common at least.
"Too bad! Now you know!" Vai giggles, splashing back a little, but not wanting to cause too much of a distruption to the others relaxing in the tub. "Alright!" Vai says playfully, fearing more splashy reprisals from Belyu. "I won't mention him again if you don't! Let's talk about something else, like... Do you want me to come to the tryouts tonight?"
There is a knock on the door of the simulated room, that avator of strom gos over and opens it, johnny steps into the room, she has a simple slip on and long dark hair, unlike s/he physical form.
The avater smiles,
“I leave you to alone, a few hours and you will be as goid as new.”
It walks out the door,
Johnny closes the door then talks slowly over to the bed, talking and taking her slip off at the same time,
“Storm just activated you lace, ty, its why I can be here, and why your being so cold will not be a problem any more”
Johnny female slips into bed nect to you,
“Storm says we have a few hours, I know he can mean your body but I think you need some other kind of care,
she pulls you close for a ling kiss.
“healing your Hart.”
Hands move and dear viewers the camera moves to the window where thec wind billows the curtains and the images fades to black.
Lang takes a seat next to him yeah maybe later, budSorun is happily passed out slumped there.... Snoring lightly.Lang looks to Sorun well, looks like she isn't available. I might aa well get you back to the lake.
come on Sorun lets go he helps him get up and starts to guide him back to the lake.
The door of the home ec room opens and Ignace comes out carrying a bundle.
"Oh! Lang. Did you knock? I didn't hear you. I didn't think the sewing machine was that loud, but I guess I just got absorbed in what I was doing."
"I...finished your replacement coat," she said, offering it to him with a smile. "I hope you get lots of chances to wear this one."
Lang gets up whenshe comes out
Shhhhh. He's asleep
can I come in? I wanted to talk to you about something
assuming he can come in but Lang tries to stay a little closer to the door. seeming concerned about Sorun's well being.
I know you said you didn't want to meet others just yet, and I already talked to the others. I think they understand.
Lang glances back to Sorun, still asleep
Sorun there, I really can't pronunce his full name, but, the thing is I consider him, along with you, my two best friends here at the school. I can't keep dividing my time between you both without feeling bad for the other.
Lang looks a little concerned about how she might react.
I mean you accepted Sun so easily, and well I wanted you two to meet becuase you both are important in my life here. I know this makes you nervous, and actually pretty uncomfortable. but this all a part of friendship. please trust me that everything will be alright.
Lang asks her to come closer its actually easier since he is asleep. So come on over and see. I can try and wake him to say hi. don't worry I am right here
Melody (and probably Renkai -- can't speak for him) wander over to where Belyu and her friends are at.
Hey Bel!she says a little excited.
the band try-outs are starting soon. any luck with helping Kai and me? Melody looks around and suddenly realizes she may have interupted something.
Ohh, I'm sorry, I guess this isn't a good time. then she looks again
ahhhhhhh Hooottttt ttttuuuubbbb! Melody seems incredibly excited and once again distracted from her original purpose for coming over.
Unsure what else she could do or say, and not quite sure how to respond the telepathic outburst from Skeets, simply bows to the pair, "Oyasumi nasai, Dave-senpai." before turning back to Hew and Grim.

Midori's grip is tight, probably a little too tight, but she's not terribly strong. Her face is a little troubled, but the further away the trio gets from David, the more that seems to fade away.
Hew placed his free hand on Midori's shoulder. [b]"You worried about me and Zilla we're worry about you... I'm not lying and you know it. You just don't want to admit your worried Zilla." Hew smiles to Midori and Grim like He hadn't said anything.
Johnny becomes ice to.
“in the virtual space our laces have mad for us, we can be any thing we like, this is all going on in our mind space, nothing here is real other than being data, fire ice, human cat,”
Johnny becomes a cat like you.
“back in the real, we are still who we are, but in the virtual , we can be who we wish to be, the only limitation here is your imagination.
Female ice cat johnny says to you one arm propping up her head
Yes fade to black, and much fun was had that night, bad news is we both miss band try outs :( time to roll out second pcs, ) I think ty will be the same just cooler now, hehe, no more falling to your death ok. As for dave you can tell Johnny all about what happened and what yiu said etc, no need to write it, see how you feel etc.
Meanwhile back in the real...
Melody (and probably Renkai -- can't speak for him) wander over to where Belyu and her friends are at.

ahhhhhhh Hooottttt ttttuuuubbbb! Melody seems incredibly excited and once again distracted from her original purpose for coming over.
Vai looks at Belyu, eyebrow raised. "Friend of yours?" before turning back to Melody. "Hello, I'm Vai." she says cheerfully. Her back was to a jet yet again, feeling it massage her
"Vai, this is Melody. She's the girl making the band I'm going to make outfits for. Melody, this is Vai. She was just asking if I wanted her to come to tryouts. She's also the model I mentioned earlier."
"Are you wanting to join a band, Vai?" Belyu asks.
Melody snaps out of her little trance.
Oh hey, Melody Waverider. you probably saw me on the stage over there.
Melody looks to Renkai and pulls him closer to her.
don'y be rude Kai... turning back to vai and this handsome lug is Kai. Bel is helping me ... I mean us... getting a band started.
did you know, she used to be in a band? Melody adds like she's shareing a secret.
