Whoever wants to! and maybe we can bring along Sheess's friend too! hmm... I wonder if Headmistress will let her go too...." sorun says to his slimy friend
"Whether your interest in me extends beyond mere friendship." he returns, also simply. Though he isn't smiling, he looks thoughtful, his hand once again causing more chaos in his beard.
Pausing a moment, where earlier she was standing there looking quite the high school teenager with a crush on for the teacher, Anahita glances to the ground both left and right, as she seems to focus her attention, inwards.
Then, looking up again, she says, "You mean for mating?" Having said that, she tilts her head back a bit saying, "You think I seek you as a mate?"
Giving it a bit more thought, she walks around him, surveying him some as one might a potential horse, or pet, and if allowed, reaches out to squeeze an arm or two in doing so.
"I have not felt a strong urge to produce children, ever, though, I can say that you are attractive, yes. Intellectually, most certainly. I do not care for the hair on your chin, however." Ah, social etiquette, she must have forgotten a few --oh wait, she's clearly not bothering at this particular moment or forgotten about it completely!
"My interest in you, beyond mere friendship. Yes. I would have you as an ally, and whatever grows of time spent together in trust. In the off chance we might join our strengths to go forth and defeat an threat. If you mean something more, as I asked before, then, at this time .. there is a yearning, but certainly not something /I/ would initiate. That is not what /I/ do. At least, I ..." She pauses to consider, "It is not the role of myself, to chase the male, not overtly... I think. I am not clear on this subject. It has not been experienced yet. Does this help you? Is this your question?"
With that, she grins, and it's obvious that she wants the same question asked of him.
Lang jumps up Slime hug!
and hugs Vriskra to get slimed.
she wraps her wings around you. They have a greater range of motion then one might expect. She enjoys the hug very much.
Now that Lang is comered in slime like Sun and Sara. he loks to Sorun
I think that would be great especially if we can all go. I don't think Ignace will go.
Lang gives sorun a hug getting him all covered in slime as well.
fish scales... usually underwater.... my indifference is palpable
"That would be awesome! but maybe if we go she can stay on the beach... we could bring her seaweed to weave!"
"I'm happy you aren't afraid or me..."
the professor then goes to his desk and writes and sends the headmaster a note about the situation.then he grabs his walking stick and heads to the infermery
The Headmaster walks out of a door and matches the professor's stride.
"So what do you think we should do to handle this? As the teacher who responded, your opinion is the one I feel needs to be known."

Vare's hand momentarily stops stroking his beard at her disapproval, but he does grin sheepishly as her inspection continues. He doesn't seem to mind her lack of social graces... he has very few of his own after all, beyond his seeming humility. There is a certain blush to his cheeks, barely visible beneath the beard.
"I fear that any such pursuit by me would be inappropriate, given my position. I do not wish to do anything that might endanger my teaching job. While I find you intruiging, I also have no desire for children either. Further, we have only just met. I feel no need to rush into anything. Let us simply see where our fates carry us. I fear I have... very little knowledge in the realm of pursuing a woman in any event. I cannot say whether I think you are beautiful... because I do not truly know. My... ah.. condition, you see."
He shrugs simply, adding after the fact, and again somewhat sheepishly. "I also fear that Rena may become jealous, if I were to depart on such a venture."
Midori had been completely perplexed by what was occuring. She hadn't tried to intercede on either side's behalf because she wasn't entirely sure what was going on. Then the hugging commenced... again something slightly foreign to her, and she wasn't sure if she should join in... eventually deciding against it. She gets up and begins to leave, looking around the cafeteria for the other member of the Shore Party from yesterday... Gareth-kun. If he's not in the cafeteria, she'll ask the walls to guide her to him.

"He seems genuinely upset at what he did... but according to the tapes and wards HE MUST have done it... he cannot be controlled by mental influinces so he did it of his own free will..." Sighs heavily... "We have a very disturbed child on ouyr hands...He at the very least needs to have that wicked staff removed from easy access before he guts someone with it."

"If it is meant to be, and will happen, especially if we choose it, Professor, then it will happen." She seems pretty matter of fact about it, "As for the .. mating ritual, I understand it is pretty simple and intuitively, will happen without much experience. As for the pursuing-- well, if you are a man of knowledge and learning, from what I have /heard/, it is a highly coveted skill to posses. Some have tried, with me, but usually they grow impatient." She shrugs at that.
Looking off, then back, as if considering, she then asks, "What of your condition is so .. difficult, that you cannot touch, or imagine? There are more senses then just sight and smell, or are all your senses off?"
She's probably skipped the exchange of questions at this point, due to her curiosity, but that one question seems to stand out.
"Or .. better yet, share with me how you sense the world around you. I wish to know this sensation. Feel and see it-- is that possible?"
Midori had been completely perplexed by what was occuring. She hadn't tried to intercede on either side's behalf because she wasn't entirely sure what was going on.

She gets up and begins to leave, looking around the cafeteria for the other member of the Shore Party from yesterday... Gareth-kun. If he's not in the cafeteria, she'll ask the walls to guide her to him.
Gareth is sitting a few tables away, paying little attention to the world around as he eats his lunch and reads.
Fidget Stops looking at his hands as he rubs them together and over to Dave. "N-n-n-o r-reaso-on I-I ju-st f-eel mo-re com-fortab-le." His voice was a little high for what one would expect from him. "Don't mind Fidget he's really a top notch mage of sorts, but is a little nerves when not casting. Reow. Zoe chimes in. The catfolk girl turns back to eating her sushi while batting at charms hanging from Fidgets neck.
Fidget adds in. "W-wha-what she s-aid.
Dave nods "fair enough.. " a mischievous grin plays across his face "in the interest of getting to know each other better, what are your specialties, what brought you here, if you want I shall go first, I have found prodigious skill with curses," he raises his left hand and sparkles what appear to be black electricity spark across the hand "I also have considerable command over the elemental forces of fire, ice and gravitation" he waits for their response, both in regards to his specialties, primarily the first one, and in regard to their own skills, what they would be willing to share.
"He seems genuinely upset at what he did... but according to the tapes and wards HE MUST have done it... he cannot be controlled by mental influinces so he did it of his own free will..." Sighs heavily... "We have a very disturbed child on ouyr hands...He at the very least needs to have that wicked staff removed from easy access before he guts someone with it."
"I'll take care of the staff. Are you sure it was him? Oh, physically I know it was him, but what about mentally? His immunity to mind magic would prevent certain disorders from being discovered."

"I dont know... Without breaking his mind I couldnt tell you...he says he has no memory of it... but I dont know if he mentally was in control of himself" The professor sighs as they enter the infermary...
Vare thinks for a long moment, deep in thought. Perhaps he is sorting through the vast stores of knowledge. "I fear I do not have a spell at the moment which would allow me to share my senses with you... it is only my vision and occasionally my hearing which is affected. I... I see the Dreamscape - the Plane of Dreams - as it is overlaid with the Material Plane. There are very few who even know of it's existence."
Vare seems to consider again for a long moment. He seems more interested in this question of sharing senses than any focus on the intricacies of the mating ritual which Anahita had mentioned. "I believe a spell could be easily researched which would allow such a sharing of perceptions. Simply modifying an existing spell may even work. I may be able to complete this in my spare time this evening, assuming my lesson plans do not need to be modified following today's lectures."
"This is something you are truly interested in sharing with me? The spell would not be permanent, of course."

"Gareth! Sorry i didn't show up lat night. I was in-con-chus in the in-ferm-ahry."

Speaking as if talking about drinking a glass of water, Anahita simply says, "A spell of telepathy perhaps? or even doing similar. I would not ask for something I do not want. It is a waste of breath otherwise."
She smiles though after that.
Tybalt is there now conscious but with his eyes closed. He knows if he looks he will know its supposed to hurt and the lace will turn pain back on. He does this to stay conscious. Usually he leaves pain on. Pain tells us where and why it hurts.
Dave nods "fair enough..

Marissa watches his hand with little enthusiasm. With a soft seductive tone. "I'm a practitioner of the circle magic. You should come watch me sometime. I think you might like it." She winked to him as she ended her remark.
Zoe speaks up second. "Oh I'm here because I want to learn to better use shadows.", Daris doesn't speak up rather just keeps eating like he could care less about the conversation. Fidget smiles to him and fidgets with his bone necklace.
Zoe watches the black sparks. Like she wanted to reach out and grab one. "Curses are useful. When did you start learning them?" She acks as she starts reaching out for the sparks.

"Mister Baneko, do you know why you were assaulted?" the professor asks softly
"Gareth! Sorry i didn't show up lat night. I was in-con-chus in the in-ferm-ahry."
Gareth jumps, but he calms down when he sees it's Vriskra.
"It's okay. I still wasn't feeling well, and... I forgot about it."
"Well then, seems we both wronged that up." she seems actually... A little cheery.
As Professor De'Nown speaks to Tybs Dom stands from his chair and walks up closer. "Is he ok?
"Are you happy we messed up?"
"Are you happy we messed up?"
" well, it's Bette then one of us showing up and the other not... No, I just y that my friends aren't afraid of me."
As Professor De'Nown speaks to Tybs Dom stands from his chair and walks up closer. "Is he ok?
"You've looked scary, but I've never been afraid. I even threw paper at your head!" He laughs.
Dave nods "fair enough..

Zoe watches the black sparks. Like she wanted to reach out and grab one. "Curses are useful. When did you start learning them?" She acks as she starts reaching out for the sparks.
Dave looks mildly surprised at their reactions, amused at Zoe's he keeps his hand just out of her reach though "I found out by accident, though as my dad was good with them, as was his, and presumably his, if was not surprising really, it happened first in the middle of a spar when I was younger, somewhere around twenty two years ago I believe, " he looks for their reactions if any to that before continuing "he hurt me and suddenly found himself greater affected by my cold based abilities" he turns to Marisa quite ovbiously intrigued I would be honored to observe you, I have always found rituals and incantations, so very fascinating so little used despite how many if them can be used without a spark of magical ability, and yet so potent, all the same, would your power happen to be like those of The Red Wizards of Thay or the Witches of Rashemen, by any chance"
Tybalt keeps his eyes closed when responding. To Skeets "Right now 5 dull ache. When it happened 87."
De'Nown "Apparently its because Im friends with someone he doesn't like. Dave. Apparently being a friend of someone you don't like is a good reason to try and kill them here. I thought he liked me. . . I don't think I like this place any more." :(
He is in a sectioned off area. If you go in unprotected you can get frostbite in seconds. There is a magic field keeping people from stumbling in by accident. It gives way if you actually press on it.

looks at Ryo and gives a tiny shake of the head
"I'm afraid learning about being human will make me no logger... Me."
Why would it change who you are. It's only knowledge and knowledge can't change you if you don't let it."
As walks over with the bucket in hand. "Hey Ace how... What are you doin... *Splash* Before Dom can even shout anything, Ace is whisked away by the wards. "Tybs! Sorry Roel but we'll have to continue this later. Would you mind dealing with my tray? Thanks!" As he gets up to rush to the infirmary he see's Ginni being held by Tanmina. Dom was shocked that he would do something like this in front of Ginni. He rushes off to the infirmary. He hoped that someone would tell Tamina where he went but doubted anyone noticed.
Speaking as if talking about drinking a glass of water, Anahita simply says, "A spell of telepathy perhaps? or even doing similar. I would not ask for something I do not want. It is a waste of breath otherwise."
She smiles though after that.
"Ah yes... I did not prepare such a spell today... though one is known to me. A moment, please." His right hand, the ringed one, goes to his spell component pouch and draws forth a pair of eggshells. His free hand momentarily goes to touch the unadorned golden ring about his finger, as if drawing magic from it. Then, he begins the incantations of a spell to bring forth a telepathic bond between himself and Anahita.
He sends the scene around them - all he sees - through the telepathic link. What appears to her as a tranquil garden, full of green and reds and other colours of nature in full bloom, is to him an almost funhouse-esque show of colour and shapes. Plants which appeared to be docile or harmless, to him appear as huge monstrous manifestations of ents or other similarily powerful bastions of nature. There are occasionally creatures which stroll by, or attempt to attack Vare by throwing things or through melee strikes. These are the sources of Vare's repeated flinches, and sidesteps. Finally, the scene includes Anahita's own Dreamscape projection. The swirl of chaotic energy surrounding a young girl... then Anahita's own form... then once again it shifts to the form of an old woman... or perhaps it never shifts... but seems to be all three at once? It is difficult to tell, truly. Her... your eyes always seem to be closed though, as if asleep. Even in the Dream.
::Can... you show me the world as it truly is?:: Vare's telepathic voice enters Anahita's mind, full of emotion. Truly wishing to see what everyone else sees.
"Tybalt, I'm Headmaster Antairus. I'm truly sorry this happened. What do you suggest we do?"
roel silently follows, then. He really doesn't have much to say anyway.
"You've looked scary, but I've never been afraid. I even threw paper at your head!" He laughs.
"Hee. Yeah. I've got... This... Thing... In my head. It makes me scary... And I'm terrified pf it... But I have to like it.... I'm confused."
"I don't really know . . . I'm still kind of in shock. Sleeping one second, being melted alive the next. . . Not fun. I really have no idea why he did. I mean Dom was Dave's friend too and he was standing next to me. Why did he attack just me and not Dom? . . . I don't really know what can be done but I don't want him to hurt other people. I'm not Dave's only friend. Of that's really why he attacked me other people are in danger."

It should be noted, by Vare, that she /accepts/ the spell, when initially cast.
Closing her eyes, when he sends the impressions and senses across to her, she mirrors what the Dreamscape shows of her own self, closed eyes all around.
Once he's done, she opens her eyes and says simply, "Fascinating." Then-- she slips /elsewhere/ and in the Dreamscape, only her young form, and barely that, lingers for a few seconds, before it animates once again and her selves flare up once more.
"I am .. that is amazing. Oh, my apologies, of course." She clears her mind, apparently meditation is easy for her, and then opens her eyes so that she beholds the world around her, unbiased and without emotion, though, in the shared telepathy, the level of detail and perception that this young girl has is better than high definition. She smells and feels the wind. She feels the grass beneath her feet, and the moisture, and the warmth within her skin and body, the caressing of her hair against her neck and face. The motion of clouds, the motion of the world itself even (perhaps), so much vivid detail all at once, fully shared over, without the wildness of the Dreamscape.
Her mind doesn't seem to even send words when perceiving all this, as if she's perpetually silent of words in her head, merely being one with the wholeness of existence around her.
Then she looks over Vare, and he gets a similar full immersion, analyzing and studying, the details, the hair on his chin, his outfit, the corners and angles, how everything moves, how he smells, the glint off his ring, etc. etc. Super detailed, not a human's perception. No 'thoughts' behind the viewing though.
