melody turns around looking for kai.
well we still don't have much of a band yet , no keyboards, no drummer, and could use on more guitar.
She looks to where she thinks kai is at
Kai, lets bring Dom in, he wa kind of abandoned by his other friends.
what do you think?Melody actually asking him, not telling him.
Melody looks out into the crowd and sees Dom getting ready to go.
damn he can't go yet. Kai on stage please I need your help with this
"sounds good to me."
Renkai looks at her amused... "Whenever your ready... Just put an instrument in my hands"
Kai that music sheet i showed you earlier. thats the song.
Vai your welcome on stage as well but it may not be entirely your syle but your still welcome.
melody hands Kai a guitar. and goes on stage.
attention please. can i have everyone's attention.
Melody waves kai on stage , and Vai also if she wants to.
My name is melody waverider, and this is Renkai Urmas, and I we would like to perfom a song for you all, especially to you Dom Waverider, The best big brother a girl could ever have. so i dedicate this to you Dom, and to you to Kai

Renkai plays... but is in near total shock while he does so...
Why would she dedicate the song to me and Dom? how important am i to her? wow.....
Dom looks back to the stage as he hears Melody's voice. "What is she doing?" Dom looks to Tamina. "You don't mind do you? Seems I'm being summoned."
encourages Dom to come up and perform as well
She had to think, she could end the SIM, but she needed to make this kid understand, well that had been the plan until he showed up with hunter seeker death rounds designed to killer her, &£^"£&*! "Power" She needed power, bringing her scanners on line she looked for it, "yes" A power plant just 500m away, that was the good news the bad news what her scan woul...
"O dear o dear, the boys voice rang out, using active scans, Now I know where you are Teacher,"
"Ye well that would be true if I was not all ready moving you smug *&£&£" And Rosa was at full tilt, heading throw a ground car parking level and into a brightly lit shopping Mall. The place was deserted as was the Sim. She could her the Huntersicker round mashing it was throw the walls she can come throw, seeking to come out in front of her. "Hes enjoying this, making it a hunt, that sonny is was a mistake. It gave her time to junk left and mash open a side door, there in front of here the power distributions point, she court a glimnce of hes Battle suit, [i]"hes coming into see the kill, wow this kid has problems The Hunter round came out off the wall down to her, left, Rosa jumped and taking a lamp post slammed it the power cables, sparks and a flash as the shorted, out.
"O cleaver trying to use EMP, on my round, nice, sorry to say all it can do it blind it for a moment, EMP will nit kill this baby"
He had landed and was behind the round, now rocking as it tryed to lock on her again, Rosa was on her back in the middle of the power cables as they sparked and fussed. She hand landed on her pack and was now pointing the hand laser at him, beam hitting his suit smack in the chest.
Nothing happen.
"O dear Teacher your laser gun not doing what you thought it would, sorry to say like my hunter round here, this suit is protected from any thing smaller than a low orbit Ion cannon, upps should have said"
The hunter seeker now stopped rocking it had a fix on Rosa, as the sparks behind her died down.
The smugness in his voice was palatable.
"Well seeing how YOUR gun is no use and MY gun is just about to mash the Robot tin can of a body of your to hell any last words teacher?"
"Its not a gun"
"What, my hunter seeker rounds, I am sorry to say they came out of my gun, he waves the arm of his suit where a tube can be seen. I used back powered, I thought you may like Irony of that. Ok so it has its own power, and can smash into at 20 rimes the speed of sound, BOOM no more teacher, but dear teacher a round non the less. You lost"
"No this, its not a laser gun"
for a moment nothing then
"Not a laser gun? the what the hell is it"
time to inform
"Its a targeting laser"
"A targeting laser for what! This suit scanned 20 miles in every direction and that only weapon like object here."
"A targeting laser for the low orbit Ion cannon now directly overhead"
the suits head looked up then back down at Rosa.
"S!"
It was then and only the Rosa put her shields up, a fraction of a moment before the shock wave, she shut down.
She came back online some 36 miles away, checking systems she had extensive damage mostly from the 2 mile rut her body had cut throw the landscape and a small forest, She got up once her motive systems came back, her she was trying to self reaper as fast as she could, looking back along the line of her crash, she could see a city burning.
::"Hows the boy"::
Rosa asked the sim mind.
::"Medical wing, hes fine, in a bit of shock but when you blast some one like that, well its to be expected. What about you"::
::"Good, cleaver lad, 1st student to have a mean to take out this body, may have to make some improvident, put him down for a pass, this week. and lets get the next one in."::
Rosa got up most of her systems working now,
No rest for the wicked she thought
And the Sim changes and a small girl came in.
"So you wanted to fight a real Demon a?"
as the other change Lang alreay wears his swim clothes under his robes. ahe goes to the hot tub right away and set up everything. gathering some refreshments.
while he sets up Sun has seen Sara off to bed and came by to enjoy the fesivities..
lang hops into the Hot Tub waiting for the others to arrive.
"Thank you. All of you." Vai manages to squeeze in before Renkai and Melody and gone, back on stage. She shakes her head at the thought of another performance - she was already shaking slightly from all the nerves of the first one catching up. But she had done it! "And you, Belyu, most of all. I'm glad I pushed my limits, just like your camping trip. At least I didn't run off the stage screaming, right?" she adds with a wink, trying to be glib to settle her frayed nerves.
"Or pass out. You've got the lead by two now. Not many can say that."
Midori is probably the last to arrive back at the hot-tub, having needed to find a bathing suit of her own. The Headmistress had helped her borrow a nice almost-one-piece bathing suit (it was two pieces, but her midriff was mostly covered) from the school, and she padded onto the lawn, wearing only her bathing suit and her sandals, carrying a towel. For the first time, she's not wearing or carrying her weapons with her, and she does look a little nervous about it, but they were back at the school now, it was safe here. Other than that, her bathing suit is black with a pink floral pattern, and her hair hangs loose - though it does look a little fried - probably from the dye used to make it black. Her golden-hued skin shimmers a little in the tub-lights. She looks around for the bathing area. "Aren't you supposed to clean off before getting in?" she asks the others present.
Lang looks at Midori with puzzled look
why? are you dirty? you look clean. unless you were playing with Sun.
you can put your towel over there. lang ponts to a set of chairs. Lang's temple robe is there tossed over the back. but folded neatly is his new blue and white silk jacket.
Lang set out a chair for everyone and there was an empty one left near Hew's and Grim's chairs
encourages Dom to come up and perform as well
after the song is over melody grabs kai and dom and and hugs them both.
she peers over Doms shoulder to see bel off stage with vai.
she smiles and gives them both a thumbs up.
He was going to need to eat before this flight, that was a certainty. Maintaining those wings to carry Raelle for so long had been draining, and while he didn't feel tired - he rarely did - he could feel that he was lacking Ki. It made him a little sore, but just like before, he would simply have to stretch it out until he was better. Food though, was something he needed.
He enters the quiet cafeteria - post dinner was one of the quietest times in here, especially with the party outside still slowly winding down, and the band tryouts downstairs, so he manages to spot Anahita, to whom he waves and attempts a smile. His face is a mask of determination though, and he quickly gets some high-energy firebird food before moving to sit down. Anahita was with some boy Ardiente didn't recognize, and he didn't want to distrupt them, so he sat alone and ate quickly, tasting the charred venison from his kill and relishing it.
Unless interrupted, Ardiente quickly makes his way to his room, and changes back into his del Sol retainer uniform - a red and orange flight suit to match his plumage, the del Sol House symbol emblazoned on the epaulets. He opens the window of his room, takes his bird form and flies out into the crisp night air... and makes directly for the direction that the sun would rise from. The sooner he got there, the sooner he could warn his family.

Renkai is wearing a huge stupid grin, then takes a bow... "That's Melody Waverider, Ladies and Gentlemem."
Ace gives Ginni the biggest, most loving smile she's ever seen "You continually amaze me my dear. I was totally just going to suggest that." He looks over to Tyrrin. "Don't worry, we'll take care of the paperwork, promise. Go see your brother, and do yourself a favor: Try and remember that just because you see one thing, does not mean it isn't an all together completely different thing."
"Yes I have no problem with that Ginni. Watching someone read is tedious at best. And I'll try to remember that advice, Casil. I may come find the pair of you in the library after I've seen my brother. I've doing some research so that I might actually get to sleep properly tonight. That would be nice."
"You look nice Midori... Ow ow. I would tell you the same but I can't see you.... Fine. The figment of my imagination of you looks nice. Ow ow ow. I was joking. You look nice to. Sheesh. I can't even joke with her." Hew tells himself and everyone. He smile soon after. It seems the pain wasn't much and didn't last.
encourages Dom to come up and perform as well

Dom bows to the crowd and blows a kiss to Tamina out in the crowd. After he turns to Melody. "Good song. Not sure how true it is on my end but I'll take the praise." He teased. As he walked off stage he waved Tamina over.

Melody smiles at Dom it was also a request
"We have shown our skill twice... what now?" renkai asks melody quietly... "its only nine thirtyish... right?"
Melody smiles at Dom it was also a request

"Man you really want me to like him as your boyfriend don't you. I promise I'll give him a chance, but it doesn't change the fact I don't like him dating you right now. I actually like the guy. So just give me some time to get used to him dating you. You are still my younger sister." Dom looked to Renkai. "Look she's my sister and I'm not suppose to like it." As turns back to Melody he begins. "So I'll give you two your space. In return I just don't want to see all of it. You know what I mean by that Mel." Dom had resigned himself to this option. He didn't like it but he could understand her plee.
Dom walked the rest of the way to Tamina. He had lost the gleeful look he had on stage. "If you wouldn't mind I need to get out of here. If you want to go catch up with some friends or get some sleep I'll be fine for now." He voice was soft like he would break if he let it get any louder. He walked to the doorway that he and Tamina had used to enter and disappeared in to the hall.
"Aren't you supposed to clean off before getting in?" she asks the others present.
Now the band tryouts where over, Starlight headed back out to the hot tubs, seeing the small child looking worried she zipped next to her all 6" of her,
"Hello, I'm starlight, do you mind filling that big cup with hot water for me, and puting it one the Rim, so I can have my own hottub.?"
"Man you really want me to like him as your boyfriend don't you. I promise I'll give him a chance, but it doesn't change the fact I don't like him dating you right now. I actually like the guy. So just give me some time to get used to him dating you. You are still my younger sister." Dom looked to Renkai. "Look she's my sister and I'm not suppose to like it."

As Dom is leaveing melody just waved to him See ya around school then
she looks back at Kai, early? what did you have in mind? but want to see how Vai bel are doing first while you think of something. oh and kai, last test....passed
melody goes back to Bel and Vai So what do ya think, we gonna get anybody that may want to join us?
"You look nice Midori... Ow ow. I would tell you the same but I can't see you.... Fine. The figment of my imagination of you looks nice. Ow ow ow. I was joking. You look nice to. Sheesh. I can't even joke with her." Hew tells himself and everyone. He smile soon after. It seems the pain wasn't much and didn't last.
grim blushes slightly "agreed...so um let's get in the water" grins suit is black with a single green stripe on either side. He still has his scythe but he is not carrying it in a threatening or guarded manor, he looks really relaxed, he leans his scythe up against the tub and gets in, offering a hand to help midori in if she is close.
"Or pass out. You've got the lead by two now. Not many can say that."
"Oh, we're keeping score now?" Vai says with a grin, "I didn't know you were that competitive."
"Aren't you supposed to clean off before getting in?" she asks the others present.Now the band tryouts where over, Starlight headed back out to the hot tubs, seeing the small child looking worried she zipped next to her all 6" of her,
"Hello, I'm starlight, do you mind filling that big cup with hot water for me, and puting it one the Rim, so I can have my own hottub.?"
Lang resting in the tub as the others arrive. and even Starlight comes by.
I can get that if you would like. Lang bends a small amount of water from the tub into the mug.
there ya go.
Come on you all can get in, I don't bite or anything
Midori seems to not really notice the attentions of her guy friends, but she smiles at the antics of Hew and Zilla, and introduces herself to Starlight. "Hajime mashite Starlight-chan! I am Midori Tsuyomi."
Since no one else seemed to be cleaning off before getting in, Midori takes Grim-kuns hand and goes over the rim and slips into the nice hot water... "Ohh it feels just like an onsen. It's sooo nice." Midori closes her eyes and tilts her head back slightly, enjoying the tub greatly.
even Starlight comes by.I can get that if you would like. Lang bends a small amount of water from the tub into the mug.
there ya go.
Come on you all can get in, I don't bite or anything
"Thanks,
star jumps in the tub-cup and sits there relaxing.
"That's better been a long day, so whats been going on"
"this angle jerk tried to make everyone like him with his freaky mind powers, we made sand castles and found a pirate ship, we fought a giant squid, umm umm, we kinda got in trouble for that... I think that was it"
Star looks over at the lake, worriedly
"Err in the lake?"
"Oh no it was somewhere else, never did find out exactly where, Sheldon took us there from the plane of water"
"Dave-senpai's not a jerk, Grim-kun. He didn't mean to do it, just like I didn't mean to manifest my powers." Midori cuts in, remembering the broken look on David's face. He looked scared and hurt... Midori knew what it was like not to have control over your powers. Grim-kun (and the others) get the idea that Midori doesn't really understand what David did to her, and how she might have been used if David had been a bad person about it.
Renkai follows behind once again grinning.
hah! Passed the tests!
He grins to bel and vai
"I think maybe we got a person or two interested" Renkai says slightly sarcastically
"O, Sheldon, don't think I have meet a Sheldon, but sounds fun, seems I missed a trip, O well. So can I ask why you have a hay cutter, are you a grander?"
"Very sad about Dave, sad to know its in him, yet not part of him, lot of talk about it, but he will be fine, just as long as he keeps away from that ... ye well did that wrong lost time not doing it again, have to wait for the right point in a time line.
Star looks at Midori
So Whats you name
lang sits there listening to the storys Hmmmm.well that would explain what sorun... I mean Sheldon was talking about before
when He hears Midori's defense of Dave
You know I am gonna take her side on that one, I have known Dave since the first day he arrived. you could almost say we arrived here together. I was the one that helped to get dave and raelle together. and I can say, after all that has happened since we arrived, I doubt Dave had any ill intentions. toward anyone, Except maybe Ace, never understood why that was though. anyway I never was complled to be near him
Grim grumbles for a bit but concedes the point to midori before squawking indignantly at starlight "hey cutter?!? Gardner!?!? I'll. have you know that this is not a hey cutter this is my scythe, an artifact of great power and even greater prestige"
Renkai follows behind once again grinning.
hah! Passed the tests!
He grins to bel and vai
"I think maybe we got a person or two interested" Renkai says slightly sarcastically
well kai, that may be so, but unfortunately the real talent won't go on stage giving a glance and a friendly dare look in her eye.
Star smiles at the boy, a twinkling in her eye
"Are you saying there is something wrong with being a Gardner? Your scythe may be an Artifact of power and prestige, but lets face it, its a agricultural hand tool really, the shape kind of gives it away, and nothing wrong with that, cutting grass a noble art, we fay know, close to the earth we are, and just think where would the world be with out the humble Gardner. Full of weeds that's what"
She giggles jumps up and flys away
"See ya later, fallon-mower"
Giggling all the way.
way to go, you scared poor tinkerbell! now you'll never get any pixie dust. lang gives Grim a rather jokeing look.
"I'm not a freaking Gardner!!! Er really I don't know the first thing about gardening my training wasn't in the cultivation and care of life but what happens after it... Tinker bell? I thought her name was star something, and I got plenty of pixie dust in my material component pouch"
"She's teasing you, Grim-kun." Midori lays a hand on Grim's bare shoulder, trying to calm him down with a kind smile. In reality she was barely surpressing her own giggles at Grim's reaction. "We know you aren't a gardener."
well kai, that may be so, but unfortunately the real talent won't go on stage giving a glance and a friendly dare look in her eye.
"That was nerve-racking enough... there's no way I would be able to do a whole set. Sorry Melody." Vai answers without realizing that Melody was probably talking to Belyu.
"oh.. er right... I knew that..." Sense motive DC 10, lying through his teeth
"That was nerve-racking enough... there's no way I would be able to do a whole set. Sorry Melody." Vai answers without realizing that Melody was probably talking to Belyu.well kai, that may be so, but unfortunately the real talent won't go on stage giving a glance and a friendly dare look in her eye.
If you felt uncomfortable with people watching you....you could always play from behind the curtain and just come out for bows at the end" Renkai provides the idea kindly
Hew watched the others joke around many times he had been force to laugh himself at there antics.
Dom had no Idea were he was going. He had been wondering the halls passing many things as he went. It wasn't like he needed to clear his head. It was more he had realized just how much his sister had grown.
She didn't need him to run off the lechers any more. He could just sit back and just do what he does. It was just the he felt a wave of sadness wash over him. He hadn't found a band, he left before listening to any real invitations or give any out. His knees started to bend to the crushing weight of the depression he felt upon his shoulders. Taking strained steps toward a bench. He sat down with a plomp. Not only had he made himself look like an @** all day but he had left before joining a band. Tamina probably was upset with him about how he had acted toward someone else most the day. If it hadn't had been for the first part of this day. Dom would have sworn this was the worst day of his life.
"reest? ,,, I dont need.. Rest, why cant we just , whew, just keep.. keep going" he does compose himself and recover slightly, but she can tell that the effort of moving the entire mountain even if it was all in his head, did take some out of him, that or with one of his pillars blocked he is tired without it.
"Because, Mr. De'Foul, much like the body, the mind needs time to heal after a trauma. There is nothing more you can do at this time. We will continue this later. For now, you have done as much as you can do today," she said firmly.
