"I notice you didn't respond to my rebuttal on your extinction theory. Oh well. KNOW THE TRUTH!"

The journey had gone better than expected, though there was still some obstacles. Unsurprisingly, considering the reports from the scouts, Silinrul had come across a small Elven camp of no more than ten or so. They had no idea he was there, and thus he fell upon them and killed them easily. He then sent a small bird back home, to inform his people of the possible threat.
That had been two days after he had started out, and that was by far the 'worse' of the obstacles. He ghosted past a pair of smalls outpost of other tribes, and circled wide of a human settlement, costing him half a day. They didn't usually trouble him, but occasionally, humans would seek his aid if they knew what he was, and time was of the essence right now.
Now he was roughly five days away from 'that place'. Five days from his sister, and then hopefully a return home. A return to battle, and with his sister in her rightful place, hopefully a return to glory and great victories.
Lang heads outside for a momant only to air blast the slime off and not get anyone else slimy in the process. despite that being kind of fun, now was probably not the best time.
He then heads to the Home ec room to see how Igance is doing with Zilla and to walk with her to class. feeling a bit upset at himeself for not meeting her at her room earlier. he can at at least make it up now.
Lang comes in Hello Ignace, and Zilla (if she is still there)
Ignace, I'm sorry about not coming earlier to wlk with you like I promised, but I'll walk with you now. and I was wondering. Sorun mentioned about getting permission for a trip to the beach on a day off. would you like to come with us?
As the escaping group of firebird students come up from the tunnel headed for the shuttle they find themselves faced with another obstacle, this time in the form of some curious guardsmen examining the shuttle, looking for a way to unlock it.
Ardiente sets Raelle down gently and moves in front of her, once again taking his defensive stance to protect her. He had been abjured and had no say over these... the Phoebus brothers would have to deal with them... unless they were to resort to violence.
::I got this::
Takes his human form, and walks up to the guards, clearing his throat.
"Excuse me, Guardsmen. I am Mithros of House Phoebus. This is my shuttle, and my brother Igni and our guests are leaving. Back away."
He marches up to the shuttle like he owns the place.

Ignace bit her lip. "I'm not sure that's a very good idea. Here there are protections that can at least help people if I lose control...outside the wards it's probably too dangerous for me to go. Even being near the water isn't necessarily enough of a guard against accidents."
"we best get you to the medical wing cone along,"
Wards should kick in
"They had been favorites, but things change, I suppose", thought a solitary female in the angry mob. She turns and smiles as the masses stormed the dias to take Fuegos. The form shifted, and the man, now, threw a salute to Alton, before disappearing into the crowd.
Deception was done here. Knowledge could have them. Damn him for taking a firebird as his champion. Oh well...
"Perhaps when the chaos died down..."
Ignace bit her lip. "I'm not sure that's a very good idea. Here there are protections that can at least help people if I lose control...outside the wards it's probably too dangerous for me to go.

Thats ok, I promised I would at least ask. I hope that someday you do get to go. And I hope I get to go with you as well.
Lang seem a little diappointed in her not wanting to go but he also understands her concern. but the fact she is doing so much better with others is enough for now.
whenever you are ready we can go to class
Lang is wearing the jacket she made, he seems to really appreciate it. always looking for hidden pockets or examining the air vents she had sewn into it.
"Very good." he enters the code to unlock the hatch. He turns back to the others waving them forward. "Come along now. Lets get going so these fine guardsmen can get back to work."
He ushers the others into the shuttle, and closes the hatch behind them. As he begins the takeoff sequence, he turns to his passengers.
"Ok, hang on to your butts."
The shuttle lifts up slightly, then spins toward Avalon, and Mithros punches the throttle, the wake knocking the guards down...and he chuckles.
Raelle was glad she had buckled in quickly as the shuttle took off. She watched out the window with a worried expression.
"I hope my dad is okay."
In the shuttle now, safe for the most part, the tension and adrenaline of the escape gone, Ardiente buries his face in his hands. Unable to stop it any longer, the emotion he had buried during their escape floods out, he sobs, the memories of his parents being beheaded in front of him burning bright in his mind.

"I'm not sure what happened but we need to find out. I'm not entirely convinced he isn't lying about any of this. But if the no mind effects is true then there isn't an easy way to find out for sure. He could be dangerous if this is him or if its not then whoever it is could be dangerous to other people."
::"Come on Ty 'Ace' thats a nickname he gave himself, really 'Ace', But Ok I take your point Ty, this guy, look if he did it and hes lying then hes ill, if he did it and he IS telling the truth then hes ill, so in my book hes ill both ways, the why and how is the next thing, the fact he can not remember worries me, I heard stories you know, Back home of what other cultures do, Spys that do not know they are spys, mind wipes that hid until its time to kills then take over, Ace could be that, A plant you know, on the outside nice, inside a weapon made to kill. But why do that and then have it attack someone like, you, I mean no offense but your in no way the political or economic elite, just seems like he had a grudge v Dave and on a whim attacked you, the self mind wiped, dumping the memories, you know, there is another possibility, the ace now being told off is NOT the ace who attacked you."::
"Ok I'll call him just Ace, not so Ace now, but still its all very odd."
Johnny sits and then takes out s/he data pad.
"ty I had this idea to get me some wings, you know bet back into real flying, and well its mad but sounds so much fun."
Johnny starts to work on s.he designes
Melody is hanging out in the cafeteria with Renkai finishing breakfast. putting the whole incident out of her mind.
Lang heads outside for a momant only to air blast the slime off and not get anyone else slimy in the process. despite that being kind of fun, now was probably not the best time.

Lang is wearing the jacket she made, he seems to really appreciate it. always looking for hidden pockets or examining the air vents she had sewn into it.
With a squee of excitement Zilla snatches up the outfit and changes.
"Oh it's so cute. I love it! Oh and the fabric feels so nice too. I could just hug you." She says while spinning around like she's modeling it. She doesn't make a move to hug Ignace however.
"Hi Lang, sorry about running off earlier. I'm just not ready to trust someone who has wronged me or Hew yet." Her voice dropped the happy tone she had as she spoke about the incident.
"Lang your such a gentleman!"
"Don't ask me why, but I think he's fine."
Ori was much more animated, laughing and questioning in the appropriate places as she absorbed the fresh gossip like a sponge.
"Thank you so much for coming and talking to me, Salis. I don't know how much longer I can handle being cooped up here in the meditation room. It really helped. It's just....something is different this time. My emotions are more volatile. I can always feel the anger simmering just under the surface. Every time I think I'm doing well enough to leave it comes back and I have to go back to the stupid meditating," she said making a face.
"Anyways, I'll be here if you want to talk more later," she said hopefully. "But I guess you need to go and get ready to teach your first class of the day now," she added, looking a bit sad.
"I could try to train you how I was trained. My order is extreme pacifist. They taught us how to never raise a hand of violence to any one... I'm probably not the most appropriate teacher of it, I have to admit. Since I am no longer a member of that order and I took a path that would lead me to violence." His tone changed like he was slightly disappointed in himself.
"As for class I have everything ready currently. I should however go to the class room to answer any question that may have arises from the students. I promise however that I will bring you lunch today. If you would like to tell me what to bring I would be happy to acquire said items. He offered as a consultation for him having to go.
"I was already there. Like i said, it's nothing more then a migraine, just hard to get it to go away."
Vriskra seems happy. She doesn't mind pepole going off to zilla or otherwise. She's just happy they aren't afraid... She knew she was...

Lang blushes slightly at the compliment and looks to Zilla there is no need for apology to me. If you are willing to listen I can share what Master Hito taught me. becuase when I was much younger I experienced a similar problem.
Lang will wait and see if Zilla is interested. having already learned that shareing wisdom to those not willing to listen is useless. Its best to wait until they are ready.
"I was already there. Like i said, it's nothing more then a migraine, just hard to get it to go away."
"O"
Shes zipping around then stops and looks at the sun,
Then zips around again, just a blur the up,
"I have to go Settro I got class"
With that she zipps off
Dave looks on as the last two of the group leave, the predominate thought going through his head being maybe this won't be a living hell some of his appatite even returns and he goes back for more food, intending to get anything he could carry with him if need be, he then proceeds to eat, though not nearly at the pace or the quantity he is known for eating such as he would have days previously.
Melody looks to Kai. I am going to talk to him, you wanna go? I am curious if he still wants to be in a band.
Melody goes to Dave. Hello Dave, I don't think we really had much of a chance to meet. but you may remember me from the party last night. I was on stage with you and Dom.
She offers her hand to Dave.
Mind if we sit with you for a bit?
"Alright then. I'd better go too..."
Dave blinks a few times "um sure?"
Renkai follows melody with a grim smile under his mask,
He stands behind Mel with hands in jacket pockets
Dave blinks a few times "um sure?"
Thanks. she takes a seat.
I'm sorry about al that stuff that happened. I am sure its all in the past now?
melody pulls out her sonic wand mind if I re scan you? I got fuzzy readings last time. and this time I wanted to get psycic energy readings and brain wave patterns. I find you one a very interesting individual, and two a very talented musician.
If dave says Ok then Melody scans dave for what she needs. examines the data. then puts her wand away.
that will be useful later, So are you still looking to stay with Dom and Ty in thier band? I...I mean we, could use your talents as a musician.
Dave blinks a few times when she talks of scans "um sure? What are you looking for?"
He then takes a bite of country fried steak and he then hears her say she wanted him back in the band, he chokes for a bit, clears his throat and says "you guys actually would still have me?... Why?"
"because you are good without the over the top arrogance and I'm immune to mental puppetry...." Taps mask "and I'll watch over melody"
Dave blinks a few times when she talks of scans "um sure? What are you looking for?"
He then takes a bite of country fried steak and he then hears her say she wanted him back in the band, he chokes for a bit, clears his throat and says "you guys actually would still have me?... Why?"
well the scan is to analyze your mental wave patterns that you use to generate your power. eventually I want to make you a headband that will supress these energies on the wavelength that you normally would use to exert power over others. of course it may inhibit the use of other psycic abilities as well but the control of weather to activate it would be yours to command. I could also modify it to extend in a sphere around you nullifying all psycic energy within the field
melody smiles and confirms what Kai said about your talent for a band.
Raelle was glad she had buckled in quickly as the shuttle took off. She watched out the window with a worried expression.
"I hope my dad is okay."
"I'm sure he will be, Raelle. Your dad is a survivor. After all the crap the council and the other families put him through, he's still kicking.
If you like, I can come back after we drop you guys off and I can go look for him? Set your mind at ease?"

dave just kinda sits there face displaying shock, this eventually clears "what about potential fans... aren't you worried about what they would think about you having me in the band? does everyone in the band feel the same way?..."
Raelle was glad she had buckled in quickly as the shuttle took off. She watched out the window with a worried expression.
"I hope my dad is okay."
"I'm sure he will be, Raelle. Your dad is a survivor. After all the crap the council and the other families put him through, he's still kicking.
If you like, I can come back after we drop you guys off and I can go look for him? Set your mind at ease?"
"Once we get back we can ask the Headmaster. He'll be able to tell us for sure if my dad is okay and send more help than just us if he needs it."
"But thanks," she said gratefully.
She patted Ardiente's arm, trying to comfort him while he cried, not the easiest thing around the seat buckles.
"I killed them, Raelle. I..." Ardiente manages through his sobs, his voice muffled by his hands and cracking with emotion. "They were trying to protect me... even after I said such horrible things to them, and they were caught too... I killed them."
With a squee of excitement Zilla snatches up the outfit and changes.
"Oh it's so cute. I love it! Oh and the fabric feels so nice too. I could just hug you." She says while spinning around like she's modeling it. She doesn't make a move to hug Ignace however.
"Hi Lang, sorry about running off earlier. I'm just not ready to trust someone who has wronged me or Hew yet." Her voice dropped the happy tone as she talked about the incident.
"Lang your such a gentleman!"
"I am very glad that you like it," she said, smiling. "But hugging would definitely be a bad idea."
"Just let me put these things away so the younger kids don't mess with them and I'll be ready to go to class."
"I killed them, Raelle. I..." Ardiente manages through his sobs, his voice muffled by his hands and cracking with emotion. "They were trying to protect me... even after I said such horrible things to them, and they were caught too... I killed them."
"You didn't kill them, Ardiente. The council did. It's normal to fight with your parents. Especially about something so emotional. That doesn't make you responsible for their deaths. Your parents loved you. I'm sure that's all they were thinking about when they tried to protect you."
"It's still hard to believe. The council never went so far before."
"I could try to train you how I was trained. My order is extreme pacifist. They taught us how to never raise a hand of violence to any one... I'm probably not the most appropriate teacher of it, I have to admit. Since I am no longer a member of that order and I took a path that would lead me to violence."

"I'm not sure pacifist and I are words that will ever go together," she said with an apologetic grin.
"Oh, thank you! I have no idea why, but they keep bringing me salads for meals...I like salad well enough, but at this point I've started dreaming about cheeseburgers," she admitted sheepishly.
With a squee of excitement Zilla snatches up the outfit and changes.
"Oh it's so cute. I love it! Oh and the fabric feels so nice too. I could just hug you." She says while spinning around like she's modeling it. She doesn't make a move to hug Ignace however.

Lang will wait and see if Zilla is interested. having already learned that shareing wisdom to those not willing to listen is useless. Its best to wait until they are ready.
"I would like to here it but right now I don't think I'm ready. I just want that to be behind me for now.
maybe once this is less in my face." Zilla really didn't want to hear a monk's boring lecture on forgiveness. Especially right not."I am very glad that you like it," she said, smiling. "But hugging would definitely be a bad idea."
"Just let me put these things away so the younger kids don't mess with them and I'll be ready to go to class."
Zilla only vaguely remembered Lang's story. She really only could remember she was afraid of what she could do to people. "Well just remember whenever you want one. I owe you one."[/b] She smiled to her. reassuring her she just wanted her happy.
"The last thing I ever said to them was that I hoped they froze in hell." he says quietly, his voice full of bitterness and regret, face still buried in his hand. The sobbing has stopped, but Ardiente doesn't look up, the straps of the shuttle preventing much other movement anyway.
"If only I hadn't..." he begins, but his voice is choked off by emotion.
"Ty, do you want to see Ace? ask him face to face"
"If he really doesn't remember then it won't do any good. I'll have to face him soon enough in history second block." Normal healing is finished now hair is growing back.
"Hopefully things will change. Folks shouldn't be afraid to live their lives..."
"Sorry about your folks, man. Wish we'd gotten there sooner."
Eases the shuttle into the hangar, and powers down. He pops open the hatch.
"Thank you for flying Phoebus Airlines." he says, then realizes it's not the best time for jokes.
"Err sorry..."
He realizes that Raelle and Ardiente aren't gonna be going anywhere for a bit. He moves to leave the shuttle, then gives Raelle a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
"Lemme know if you need anything, ok? I'll go talk to Ryo about your dad. He needs a friend right now." he says indicating Ardiente.
He deboards, and stands there for a second, letting the past hour's events sink in. He shakes his head and heads into the school to find Ryo, placing his hand on the wall, and asking.
"I'll catch you later bro" he says to Igni in parting.
