igni has a lot of work to do. He goes and finds a large rock near the lake, away from all of these people, and takes rapid notes.
"Thank you, Grim."
"Midori, were you aware of your psychic potential before today? It's good that you were manifesting a power. That means that this will be easier for you than it is for some. Like Vriskra. It was very hard for her. Being able to instinctually bring the power to focus like that is a rare talent," she said with an encouraging smile.
She shakes her head, "No, sensei. I didn't know. We - my family - are not well-versed in magic... or psionics. Other members of the clan have some training in magic, but the Tsuyomi family are trained to use our ki." she looks a bit worried when Ephebe mentioned Vriskra - glancing at Hew-kun to make sure he was alright with her. She didn't want to scare him like Vriskra had been doing. "I... I didn't mean to do it... to man-i-fest..." the word must be new to her, she sounds it out carefully, "... a power. I'm... not sure how I did it."
"Um well for one, she manifested some psionic power, it was low tier, and was like ... umm.. divination, but the psionic version, clarie-something, her horn was glowing when she did it which makes me think its connected to her metal power, um er that reminds me when we were fighting that octopus she captured it in an Adaminite cage thing, it was really cool, but she got really tired by it, and her horn hurt for a bit afterwords""Thank you, Grim."

Hew listened quietly he didn't have all the details, but he wanted to stay in case he could help.
"Cause there's a lake, and it's fun," he said with a grin. "Especially if we can get someone to build a waterslide."Bradley receives a nod and her saying, "Yes, most certainly. In many different ways, why?"Bradley smiled broadly. "That sounds awesome! I'm really looking forward to it."
"But since that's tomorrow and we still have time tonight, let's try doing something just for fun. The best way to learn to enjoy life is to try things until you find the ones you like best," he said sincerely.
"Do you know how to swim?"
She seemed to grasp then intent, but it was obvious (or not), she didn't logically see the point.
"If you wish, certainly. Perhaps someone can fashion a slide. Though, I ... Well, I might just watch at first, to see your point?"
"I didn't want to hurt those other kids either," she said, slightly doubting Lang's sanity in this, but she carefully took a seat across the hallway from Sorun. It was still too close, but it was at least no closer than in the classroom. And there was only two other people here instead of twenty.
"But....what if he gets hurt by my fire?" she asked nervously. "I don't think he's immune to it...he's the aquatic one, right? He seemed really nervous about fire before. I don't want to hurt him," she whispered, peering anxiously at the sleeping Sorun.
Lang looks at her.
you don't have to worry about that, You don't want to hurt him, and I don't want you to hurt him, So I believe you won't.
Lang takes a seat next to Sorun Come on, have a seat next to me. and I will gently wake him so he can say hello. and you can say hello.
I believe in you Ignace, you are a brave girl, just like the princess in the story i read to you earlier.
Lang waits to see if she will sit with him but will not push her if she gets really too nervous.
ignace it is true about those other kids, but the difference now is you are so much braver now, and also you are close to Sun, and he isn't any different than Sorun is. but still if yo feel better over there I guess that is better than not meeting anybody at all.
lang will wait till Ignace says its OK to wake up Sorun before he does so
Renkai just listens to the conversation... Absently responding to vai.... Not really listening much.... But he excuses himself when he spots Adon entering the wood.... He stealthily follows

When Kai leaves melody lets out a little sigh but does not stop him.
after out of earshot So Vai, is there a story about you and Kai? you seemed a bit, "different" when he came over?
adon is striking a tree, over and over, fighting it as if it was a true foe.. Elbow, punch, knee, fist, elbow.... His hands, knees and elbows begin to bleed, bit he refuses to stop. He goes only faster, and the tree begins to turn red.
"I'm not sure about that Earth Harp Melody... it just sounds like it would be really loud... loud isn't always good." she shrugs, unsure. Music wasn't really her specialty. "But, I would like to hear the theory on how you would power it and make it work properly."
"I... I don't really like... um... being very close to boys. I makes me nervous. I mean, Sadie likes him, so Renkai can't be all that bad... but he makes me nervous." The mention of Sadie causes Vai's face to fall a bit, remembering the events of last night. But Sadie had asked her to leave her alone.. give her space. She couldn't really go looking for her after that.
"I... I don't really like... um... being very close to boys. I makes me nervous. I mean, Sadie likes him, so Renkai can't be all that bad... but he makes me nervous."

"using a punching bag would hurt less and would help you get better faster" the roguish figure comments after watching for a few minutes....
"I... I don't really like... um... being very close to boys. I makes me nervous. I mean, Sadie likes him, so Renkai can't be all that bad... but he makes me nervous."
" punching bags... Don't... Let you... Learn to live with pain. I'm doing this... Because it is nowhere near Dave, or any of those other sorcerers. Eventually, I'll be able to keep this up without doing this to my fists." the tree's bark is coming off, and flying everywhere. There are large splinters in exposed flesh, and still he continues on.
"would you like some advice? When you bleed allow your skin to heal....it becomes tougher...if you don't allow it to heal.... You become weaker..."
Renkai is unbothered by the blood or pain...

"Alright. I'll just train something else." he picks the splinters out of his hands , and flicks them off. " let's see... Dodging.... Vital points... Hmm... What to study next."

melody takes Vai's suggestion. yeah I never thought of that, i might have to work on it, thanks Vai, glad your here to help with this stuff.
sensing a topic Vai wants to avoid, Melody changes the subject to help her feel more at ease...
She looks to Bel So Bel, how do these try-outs work anyway?

"I did go to the party. I left. There was no point to being there."
"me and melody, belyu, and vai are all hanging out by the hot tubs... Come on" Renkai says
"me and melody, belyu, and vai are all hanging out by the hot tubs... Come on" Renkai says
" what is the point to stuff toke that? Hmm. Well, I could come. I'll see If there is any worth to this companionship thing. Won't get in the hot tub though, unless you want red water."
Let me see your hands...." Renkai says and if Adon puts out his hands Renkai runs his fingers over the broken bleeding skin sealing it, healing it with white energy.
"good as new... Come on"

"good as new... Come on"
" what was that? Didn't look like a cure spell."
The energy spreads through your body reinvigorating you knitting all wounds together....
"its power I learned from my master...." Renkai says cryptically not explaining

" well. I guess I'll come. Only because I've got to try "socializing" sometime."
Starlight is sitting off to one side in the hottub with Meloday, she easy to miss as she gos invisible when still. All 6’’ of her tiny from no moves as she says,
“I like the sound of the Earth harp it soulds very Fay”
She looks around at the others, seeming imbaresed she spoke out.
“well i do, sounds fun.”
Strolls back over with Adon grinning at melody... "miss me, darling?"
adon gets in, still neverendingly angry at, well, everything.

Melody smiles at Kai test number three...passed
she gives him a hug.
turning to the new person so hello, I'm melody Waverider, new student here just arrived this morning. This is Belyu, and the shy one there is Vai. in case you didn't know them.
Melody gives him a chance to introduce then adds, So tell us about yourself. do you like music?
"Basically, if you're looking to start a new band, you play a bit of your kind of music and then let people audition by having them play something. You played a bit in the halls earlier, so you might go a bit faster than usual."
Vai looks at Renkai returning with Adon quizzically. As they climb into the tub, she moves over, making space. Then Starlight makes her appearance. There was alot of people now... almost too many for Vai. Almost. She could do this. None of them are trying to hurt you. Find a jet and relax, make some small talk. "Hey Adon." Vai says while fishing for a jet to put her back to. "Sorry I missed class this morning."
"I didn't spar at all anyway... Little complicated. I'm adon. I'm here because I feel obliged to be. I like swords. I'm living antimagic, iv'e hated every moment of it. Music doesn't matter to me. Anything else you want to know?" adon is completely deadpan, and doesn't seem to care at all.

well thank you, I... she looks around a bit for where the voice came from. alright there you are
as starlight appears while moving.
Melody pulls out her wand (sonic screwdriver) makes some seting changes and tries for a scan of tiny creature.
checking the readings. interesting temporal phasing, time distortion field capabilities. hmmm....not sure how to classify that
Melody suddenly looks at everyone probably staring at her.
oops sorry about that she puts her wand away.
adon gets in, still neverendingly angry at, well, everything.
Melody smiles at Kai test number three...passed

Hugs her back....
"still wondering about tests.... And adon... Don't be like that......" Renkai says leaning against her, arm around shoulders
"Be like what?"
"I didn't spar at all anyway... Little complicated. I'm adon. I'm here because I feel obliged to be. I like swords. I'm living antimagic, iv'e hated every moment of it. Music doesn't matter to me. Anything else you want to know?" adon is completely deadpan, and doesn't seem to care at all.
first melody looks to Kai and whipsers next test starts now...
she goes around the hot tub to where adon is sitting.
settles in behind him (she is outside the tub) puts her arms around his shoulders.
Now Adon, first, music matters to everyone, just in different ways. and two you can't be anti magic, because magic is not what you think it is. but I won't go into that right now. and third, I like swords but I don't their use. they do have a sense of artistic quality, when used for sport and performance, they can be beautiful things. the skill of a trained swordaman is much like a skilled dancer. the moves and the footwork in perfect harmony with the object or person with which they dance. but killing? I hate that
one thing about having a magic face is it shows only what you want it to...
Renkai watches poker faced.... Hands hanging easily by his sides
"Pfha. I honestly don't care about it. And, yes, I am. Witch reminds me... I need to find someone who could Analzse this. It seems not a rejection, but actual substance. he begins to get up, uncaring to melody's comment, now thinking of finding someone who might be able to analyze his antimagic.
"I could see if my Mom is free to help you with that Adon... she's pretty good with scans - she can do it to a molecular level, and it's not magic." Vai offers. She wonders if Adon has the same Apathy that Ephebe and James talk about sometimes with regard to Taron. Nothing seemed to make him happy... or anything. She remembers he was just as deadpan when he accidently sliced her stomach.
"That sounds... Good." He sits back down in the water. " I suppose there is benefit to socializing after all. Perhaps it might be something enjoyable, and efficient."
Vai nods, closes her eyes, and attempts to contact her Mom's frequency. ::Mom? I'm not interrupting anything am I?::
Vai is apparently - and without any magic - directly manipulating light to carry her message to Aananda's radio frequency.
::A little, but it's okay, sweetie. I think we're almost done here and it's good to look up from the screen now and then. What's up?::
::There's a boy here by the name of Adon... he claims to be living anti-magic, and was looking for someone to analyze him. Should I bring him up to see you later?:: With her eyes closed and her Mother's telepathy in her head, along with the soothing hot water, Vai relaxes considerably, not quite as stiff, despite the fact that there was still many people around her.

::Yeah, that sounds fine. Maybe in a half hour to an hour? I think we'll be done with Ehos's bracelet by then...might take a couple days for the longer term stuff anyways. Sounds like something I can take a few minutes time to work on.::
::Thanks Mom. I'll see you then. Um. Just so you know, I'm going to try out for a band tonight. I think. If I don't freeze on stage. Wish me luck!:: With that, Vai opens her eyes, allowing the radio waves to return to their natural state, and looks at Adon. "She'll be ready in about an hour or so, so you might as well stay. You'll need me to get access to the lab anyway."
While Vai communicates, very interesting indeed curosity takes over and she pulls out the wand again and makes some setting adjustments and begins the scan of the transmition.
