Midori doesn't have any drink, or any food with which to applaud Lang's "toast", she still looks at him at nods, not wanting to speak too loudly, but she does adds a small: "Hai!" to the chorus of agreement
igni rushes ahead, a blur of red.

Tamina shrugged. "I'll talk to them. I think you'll like them....and maybe try to stay open to the idea that the music can help form the friendships. You can talk yourself out of some pretty amazing stuff if you get too hung up on things having to go in a particular order."
Ace shakes his head, "No, I don't think that's it. Unless your work with Storm will lead to something major that you and I then embark on, it must be something far enough in the future that you aren't aware of it, even as a possibility."
Tries to fly up to get a better view
"Perhaps. I think we will have to wait to find out either way. Dreams are mysterious are they not? Perhaps I can direct my own dreaming towards this question tonight, and that might provide us with answers, or at very least, more information." Tyrrin smiles warmly - no smirk here - at Ace, looking up at him, rather than taking her typical step back so she could face him evenly. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention though, I appreciate that."

Melody smiles "you know, I think Dom may be right, you just might be smarter than me, <pause> but not much, I am a genius after all" she says jokingly with a giggle.
"If you wern't dating Dom, I would date ya"
by this time they would have reached the labs and Melody now has an idea were to go to find the tech labs, the magic labs really don't interest melody.
Vare - as he said - doesn't appear to notice Anahita's various body languages or changes in emotion, unless it is in her voice. Perhaps this is frustrating... but then again, perhaps not. Perhaps he is unable to, due to whatever condition he spoke of at their last meeting.
"Yes yes, my spellbook is safely tucked away in my room, as I have finished my spell preparations for the day. Thank you for your concern." he says simply, diverting their path once again to avoid some larger specimen of plant. His stride isn't quick, and he appears to gaze around. While he does not seem relaxed, per se, in the gardens - he does seem at least less flinchy and volatile than in the cafeteria. "I hope I am not presuming to much to say this: some people are looking to be lead. They don't want to be given choices, they want to be told what to do, and how they might go about doing it. This Roel... perhaps he is one such. Though again, this summary is from only my brief interaction in the cafeteria, and I would not put any faith behind it."
Still keeping up with him, Anahita's wrapped leather sandals keeping her safe from any thorns, even though it's rather a moot point in the Gardens, nasty plants or not.
"Your point is noted. That is not my purpose in life. If he, or it, as a living creature, wishes assistance with life, or he was not completely free to pursue it, then I might act after much internal thought, or an emotion drove me to it. He did not even, when prompted, ask for assistance, if I'm not mistaken. I directly asked him."
She shakes her head at that, some of her hair flopping around majestically over her shoulders and front and back from the effort, like black clouds of silk, "I do feel that we could stand or walk, discussing these finer points- I would enjoy that. There is something about you that is intriguing me, I will profess." She smiles up warming towards Vare, still walking along with him.

Tami laughed. "Come on, let's go get some breakfast before it's time for class to start."
Ardiente's face is a mask of stocism, facing his death with honour and dignity... except for the tears that streak down his face.
::Oh no...what's the plan?::
continues to follow them at a respectful distance...
i hope classes dont drag much today...
"Oh hell no." igni runs directly in thier path. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!? Why not just throw him out? Hm? Just send him down to agarica? Seriously? I am the pure blooded prodigy, igni. At least listen to me before you continue."
"I'm one of the most normal things where I'm from... Your place sounds sane compared to the abyss, fey."
"Arr the courts of Chaos, I have been there, shadows all get odd around it, but the realms of the Fey can be a little crazy as well. But with not the same logic"
"Eh. Do you mind not telling people?"
::Well, ok then...::
He flys over to his brother's side
Tami laughed. "Come on, let's go get some breakfast before it's time for class to start."** spoiler omitted **
melody stops a moment and turns around Come on Kai lets eat! she yells back
then turns to tami, Ok lets go...
waves fingers in a swift spell and demention door's to her side...
"lets go...I'm hungry" renkai states holding out his hand
Ardiente shakes his head at the pair, not wanting to endanger anyone else further. The tears flow freely. Around his neck appears to be some sort of device - magical in nature - and his tattered clothing reveals a tattoo on his left arm which is glowing bright red.
"Ardiente! No!" she screamed, fighting her way through the crowd, trying to reach her friend.
The strength leaves Ardiente's legs at Raelle's voice. No, not her too. Not her. Please gods, if you exist, send her away.
Igni's father stood up from his seat on the dais.
"Get out of their right now, boy! Do not meddle in things you do not understand!"
Guards moved to intercept Igni.
"Continue with the execution," Fuego Helios commanded from his seat at the center of the dais.
"Oh no you don't. All of your time training me to be perfect might not pay off after all." He dodges the guards with ease. "I understand perfectly. It's you who are blind. I worked my tail feathers off day and night for you people. The LEAST you could do is listen."
Still keeping up with him, Anahita's wrapped leather sandals keeping her safe from any thorns, even though it's rather a moot point in the Gardens, nasty plants or not.
"Your point is noted. That is not my purpose in life.

There is something about you that is intriguing me, I will profess." She smiles up warming towards Vare, still walking along with him.
"Is my appearance not off-putting? I have been told many a time that I appear to be some kind of mad man." he says, though it does not appear to be any kind of self-pity, merely an observation. He stops walking, allowing Anahita to look at him fully if she so desires.
"I admit, I also find you... intriguing. It is somewhat difficult to explain... but if you are patient perhaps I might be able to."
.."shake It off, ardente!"
waves fingers in a swift spell and demention door's to her side...
"lets go...I'm hungry" renkai states holding out his hand
melody takes his hand. and together all three head to the cafeteria for some food
say anything to anyone she just give kai a glare no other words are needed

great...she doesnt trust me either...
simply nods and walks with her
Igni doesn't realize until too late that the guards were just a distraction as the blade swings for Ardiente's head, slicing through his neck and killing him instantly.
igni regains his composure. "fine" he morphed to firebird. ::I'll be going now. But know this... We can bring him back. Sucks to be you.::
"I am? Really? Huh. Who knew?" she said genuinely surprised."This is my first teaching experience too. I actually lied when I applied, saying that I was older than I was. I'm not actually much older than the students," she admitted sheepishly. "I'm only twenty-two."
"Boy was I embarrassed when I finally got up the courage to fess up and found out the headmaster already knew about it." ^.^
"Mostly I've just spent a lot of time asking people for advice, students included. Things aren't the same here as where I'm from and well, the best teachers never stop learning, right? I've only been here for a few months, but I think I'm starting to get my bearings...most of the time. It helps to remember what it was like to be on the other side of the desk."
"Age has no bearing on excellence. I think the headmaster realizes that. I myself am only a few years into adulthood myself. I started adventuring only a few days after I came of age. As for what it's like behind a desk I don't think I really know what that is like I was taught in a monastery. They taught us out of a class room and drilled the need for peace and knowledge into us from a young age. So classes were much different than here. Much more strict." He replies as stoic as normal. "Question the students and teachers. Oh I love questioning people I doubt that it would be good to do my normal routine of questions however. I have questioned people for multiple days on just things about there hobby. I will see what I can gleam from just a few questions from time to time." Salis sits there thinking to himself for a second.
Dom stepped out of the cafeteria line holding a tray of food for two. He glanced around looking for who else was here at the tables. Perhaps he could find one of his friends.
"NO!" Raelle screams, running out from the crowd, past the guards who were too busy with the Phoebus brothers to notice her until too late. She fell to her knees beside Ardiente's lifeless body, not believing what her eyes were telling her.
"No, no, no, no, no....this isn't right," she murmured.
She could see the pattern fading from him, see how it was broken....see how to fix it. She had to try.
All of the markings on Raelle began to glow and a large, bright symbol formed over her in the shape of a smoke colored bird with outstretched wings. A similar pattern only of fire with accents of purple here and there formed over Ardiente's body which appeared to be knitting itself back together.
Zilla laughed at the idea of taking a group name. It was a fun idea. She raised a glass along with everyone else. Smiling at the thought she might be able to have fun with every one.
special move on ardentie... Over bending for con...
And catch on alchemical fire for 3d8 points of DMG a round.
"Is my appearance not off-putting? I have been told many a time that I appear to be some kind of mad man." he says, though it does not appear to be any kind of self-pity, merely an observation. He stops walking, allowing Anahita to look at him fully if she so desires.
"I admit, I also find you... intriguing. It is somewhat difficult to explain... but if you are patient perhaps I might be able to."
Considering the potentially mad looking Professor, Anahita looks forward again and says, "Not in the least. You are touched by something extra ordinary. Only ignorant people who know naught of your situation would say such things, probably out of fear or an inability to relate. It happens quite a bit..." her words trail off in thought.
"I," looking back now, "am content to merely walk along, Professor, unless you sought to have me out here for reasons other than to quell my potential anger back there. You have succeeded, I might add. It was only temporary, not unlike a quick flash fire in the plains."
Closing her eyes while she walked along, she took a few moments to breath the air and feel the sunlight on her face, tilting her head up slightly while doing so.
"Age has no bearing on excellence. I think the headmaster realizes that. I myself am only a few years into adulthood myself. I started adventuring only a few days after I came of age.

I have questioned people for multiple days on just things about there hobby. I will see what I can gleam from just a few questions from time to time." Salis sits there thinking to himself for a second.
"That would probably be best."
"It's okay, you know, to admit you don't know stuff. They respect that more. And most of them need someone to listen to them more than they need someone to tell them what to do. I know I could have used that at their age. Try to get to know them one or two at a time. At least, that's what worked best for me. The ones that know you will help convince the others to take you seriously."
"And now, I'm afraid you have quite exhausted my meager stock of wisdom." ^.^
Tybalt and Roel are in the Cafe Dom.
vriskra gets brave enough to walk over to the table with zilla. You probobly remember her from her tormenting hew.
At first Zilla doesn't notice the woman who was tormenting both Hew and herself. It wasn't until after Lang talking about everyone one being there, but as she was looking to everyone smiling she saw her. "You! Why did you do that to Hew?" She stood from her seat. look straight at Vriskra.
"Please don't yell." :(
pic "uh... What?"
"Please don't yell." :(
I agree with sara, there is no need to yell, I am quite sure it was a misunderstanding.
I think right now I would like to introduce our newest member to our Team. Sara! Lang goes around to introduce Sara to everyone she didn't already meet.
Lang hopes that Zilla remembers the story Lang just shared about getting upset
"Hi everyone." :)
