"To what end would I want to show of my figure?" Anahita looked at Dom with a bit of confusion. "I have little desire to bare children at this time, nor have I met a mate that would be worthy, yet... though." She looked off in consideration of something.
"I certainly trust I was not brought here to ..is this a social civilization thing?" She peers back at Dom and Tamina, Tybalt might notice that she doesn't 'quite' involve him in the question.
"Hey showing it off isn't for everyone, but it does help find, as you would say, a worthy mate. As for the children thing I don't think any of the students here are ready for that." Dom considers her question before responding. "I going to assume that you got the wrong idea there. No I was just wanting to actually get to know you rather than just by sight. As for is getting a mate a social thing I guess it is, but I don't know for sure I don't really study that."
Melody looks for a nice spot in the garden under a tree.
she lays in the grass looking up to the sky watching the clouds.
I wonder where Kai is? ahh probably off playing with his knives again she muses to herself.
"Tybalt. Also, Never said you would worship, by the way, i said like."
"Adon I understand you and others wish to follow a religion dedicated to a being that has a direct impact in yours and others lives. I respect that, that's your right. Thing is I just don't respect your god, nor any so called god for that matter. I fundamentally disagree with what they do in courting or expecting religieuses obedience, respect, adulation, supplication or whatever from other self aware beings. No matter how 'good' a self proclaimed 'god', I just find that kind of behavior repulsive and sickening, so you see even 'like' is pushing it."
Johnny smiles.
"I know if I ever meet a being playing god, it would most likely kill me on the spot as heretic, but thats what deposits do, silence all opposition to keep the status Que going. And don't be so sour your god is everlasting and Omniscient as they make out, any being that tells you it knows everything and lives for all time, is lieing from the get go, no matter how big and powerful they say they are, there is always something bigger, in the case of gods, the Multiverse and Entropy. See 'Evolution' can be a real b***h, it knows how to kill of so called gods more than anything going."
Johnny brings up a Holo projection showing countless gods and religions throughout the history of the Galaxy and the dragon Empire, most dead and gone.
"And this is the 'god' death toll in just one small Galaxy, now think of the trillions upon trillions of other Galaxies out there in this universe. Each with its own history of everlasting all powerful 'gods'."
the Image changes again showing other universes, documented in vast school Library.
"Thats before we start on the other universes.
Image shows universe after universe after universe.
"So lets take your claimed know everything god. Think 'dos he really know everything, or just a relative amount about this neck of the multives', kind of a lot of local knowledge, because thats what I suspect he/she/it has. Why should I think this, well when faced with the mind breakingly vast amount of data out there in the bigger Multiverse even a so called god here abouts would wet itself and go "mummy", when trying to encapsulate it all poor sod, you can see why he went nuts"
Johnnys trys shows an image of the Multiverse for a moment but s/hes data pad turns itself off before it melts. Johnny looks around, then back
"O well, So who do you think will volunteer for our mind rape like test?
Looking at Dom, Anahita says plainly, "Ask your questions if you have some, Dom. I respond well to inquiries."
She gives him a light smile, but not too much of one, a slight glance to Tamina then back to Dom.
Meanwhile, she does keep looking about, Tybalt's there, after all, she seems to not want to be rude by ignoring anyone.
Sun stops approaching Dom seeing Anahita is there.
he looks to Chara I do think that he may not be able to help after all, I'm sorry Chara, maybe we could find another water bender that isn't so busy
Repp wanders his way out of Kuros, feeling much more cheerful after his time in the town. He slowly makes his way up to the school. He had heard much about it.
"There are other reasons to show off your figure than just to get a mate. For many girls it is about that, but there are also those for whom it is simply an expression of their own appreciation for their bodies. The body is a beautiful and wondrous thing and there is nothing wrong with appreciating it, for either gender."
"And there are other reasons for 'mating' than simply creating children. Different cultures have different cultural taboos. The culture I come from does not approve of having children before marriage. But enjoying physical pleasure without creating children is considered normal and acceptable. After all, it is a natural function of the body and should be appreciated. I know that not all cultures share that outlook."
"I would presume from your comments that it is different where you come from. I would love to hear what the attitudes and ideals of your culture are, Anahita. It might help prevent any further confusion."
Sun stops approaching Dom seeing Anahita is there.
he looks to Chara I do think that he may not be able to help after all, I'm sorry Chara, maybe we could find another water bender that isn't so busy
"It's okay, Sun. I always get left out of the best games. I'm used to it," she said, dejectedly.
Looking at Dom, Anahita says plainly, "Ask your questions if you have some, Dom. I respond well to inquiries."
She gives him a light smile, but not too much of one, a slight glance to Tamina then back to Dom.
Meanwhile, she does keep looking about, Tybalt's there, after all, she seems to not want to be rude by ignoring anyone.
"Question don't tell much about a person. I find that casual conversation tells so much more that just a few questions. They do however make a good ice breaker." Dom looked to Tybs just after. "You have been rather quiet. For a bit. Do you have to add?"
Ace walks with Ginni to wherever Miss Jones leads them. Once inside office or classroom, he hands her the datapad. After she reads it over he says "You're kinda a specialist here. I'm not sure if you can actually succeed in helping rid me of Kalmafein, but I'm hoping you can at least offer me some advice on what to do next"
"It's okay, Sun. I always get left out of the best games. I'm used to it," she said, dejectedly.Sun stops approaching Dom seeing Anahita is there.

I'm sorry Chara but when your sad, So am I. maybe Lang's teacher Morrivan can help us. Dom probably isn't a very good water bender anyway.

"One second please seems I have been summoned." Dom walks of to Sun and Chara.
"Hey there Sun were you needing me for something. You should also keep your insults to a minimum if your wanting help." Dom teased. "Who is your friend, Sun?"
Tyrrin returns to Jaiye's table, her tray actually quite full. Jaiye might note that Tyrrin looks very much better rested than Jaiye has *ever* seen her.
"What has become of Ehos?" Tyrrin asks off-handedly of her friend as she begins to eat her food at something of a feverish pace, rather than Tyrrin's usual casual indifference.
"Ignace-chan, how is this?" Midori holds up a piece of cloth she had cut out for her friend to inspect. The conversation in the room had tapered off a little as the two girls worked and Zilla-chan "helped". The fabric was well-cut, Midori's hands weren't powerful, but they were skillful and quick, perfect for the sartorial craft.
Sorry we didn't want to appear arrogant or anything. Sun makes a glance toward Anahita This is Chara, you probably know her sister, Raelle? anyway the rest of her friends are visiting the bottom of the lake. and well the water elevator is a little too rough for her. So I thought that you being a water bender and all you could use your skills to get her down there with everyone else a little genteler.

"I would presume from your comments that it is different where you come from. I would love to hear what the attitudes and ideals of your culture are, Anahita. It might help prevent any further confusion."
Listening intently to what Tamina says, Anahita seems fairly focused. At the end, when she asks about about attitudes and ideals, Anahita pauses to think and says, "I am not .. of a specific culture. I travel the lands. There, well, there is none for me. Perhaps a .. mixture?"
She frowns though, glancing over her shoulder to peer at Dom and the baboon, then back to Tamina. "I am not .. comfortable, or experienced, in these civilized social situations." And while Anahita conducts herself well, it might just be her innate or natural charisma that drives it, or something else.
"Your ideas sound true, however. I do not dismiss them as valid." Which ideals though, Anahita didn't specify, perhaps all of the ones mentioned.
"These things are ..fairly new to me. In truth. I rarely visit cities. Or interact with people-- in fact, I've probably spoken more in the few days here then in a year, last."
"Right? I'm not even going to ask what you and Lang's deal with her is." Dom makes a small glance back at Anahita before returning his gaze to Sun and Chara. "So you are wanting me to make a path to the bottom of the lake. That's a tall order but I can see what I can do." Dom walks with them to the edge of the lake.
Dom looks over the task at hand. This wasn't an easy thing to do holding back the crushing walls of lake. He took a waterbending stance and began making graceful movements. As the started water started to move creating an indention in the water.
The water starts flowing out ward creating a Tunnel. Slowly it starts to freeze. After it freezes the ice start to shift it's shape creating a set of rough stairs.
"Ignace-chan, how is this?" Midori holds up a piece of cloth she had cut out for her friend to inspect. The conversation in the room had tapered off a little as the two girls worked and Zilla-chan "helped". The fabric was well-cut, Midori's hands weren't powerful, but they were skillful and quick, perfect for the sartorial craft.
"That looks great Midori. I wish I could cut that well." Zilla looks at the piece of spare fabric she had been practicing on. Or rather butchering. The edges were cut all over the place along with being frayed all the way across. If the piece was to be used it would surly fall apart. She sighed at her attempt at cutting a piece of cloth. "I guess I'll just stick to handing you two stuff."
he doesn't know what to think at this point. "this place is going to take a lot of getting used to..."
"Right? I'm not even going to ask what you and Lang's deal with her is." Dom makes a small glance back at Anahita before returning his gaze to Sun and Chara.

Sun motions for Chara to head down the stairs. Make sure Lang helps you get back up here when you leave ok
Sun looks to Dom. thanks for your help
You asked the question, do you want to know the answer?
Before Chara makes her way down Dom asks. "Do you need help down. The steps will be slippery."
"I'm guessing that you mean your deal with Anahita. If you wish to tell me fine but I not wanting to be in the middle of it ether." He talks like he doesn't but his motion say something much different.
perhaps another time then Sun says referring to the situation.
Sun seems he cannot help Chara down the ice apparently a fear of the water and ice.
I don't know how long they will be down there, but I am sure Lang can get her back up safely. though not as grand as you could.
After some time watching the clouds. Melody sits up picks up her guitar and starts to work on another song. trying to piece together a tune.
Johnny looks at Adons face, with a worried look on s/he own, not knowing how he will react to what s/he just said.
"Look. You may not know this, but anything that gets worshiped around here gains power from the worship of a being. I support Desna. She doesn't make me, I just do. These gods.... When they die, they come back as long as people continue to worship them. Look in a theology book. Other then a few cases, deities come back. Sure, we kill them off sometimes, but in a sense, they reincarnate. Believe what you will. I don't think I can stay here longer. Any stress at all right now sets me off really badly. Maybe some other time, when i can think straight. he begins to walk out the door, leaving Johnny plenty of time to respond.

"Well I can't say that was easy to do. I'm not even certain it made it all the way to the bottom. So I want to make sure things are safe for her before I leave things as they are. As for the way back up I believe that you are correct about Lang being able to get her back up. Air bending should be a lot better for this, but just in case I will leave the tunnel how it is. He looked at the tunnel as if he was trying to inspect it. "If you would like to tell me about it once I come back up that would be fine." Dom gave him an assuring smile. "You ready Miss Chara?"
Tybalt shakes his head out from where he had been spacing out and staring at a section of wall for a while. "Ya I can do a robe easy. As for adventure someone named Onierio is going to some icy mountain place and I volunteered to help.
When do you want to start on the clothes. We still have a bit of time now."
he doesn't know what to think at this point. "this place is going to take a lot of getting used to..."
dave laughs a bit "yeah that it does, that it does, so what brings you this strange place"
Zix nods ::please remain where you are, I shall be right back::
He goes back in to the room
If mis jones is in there he goes to her ::a Mr Casil Dalcorgrim to see you, he claims it to be urgent::
If she is not there he goes back to them and says ::she is not here, I could scry her if you wish or you could use the arrows located on the wall::"Thank you, Zix. Would you mind taking care of my lunch dishes for me? I have a feeling that I won't get a chance to come back for them before lunch is over."
"Mr. Dalcorgrim.....Ginni. Please follow me. Important matters are best discussed in offices or classrooms, not hallways."
If Zix goes to get them they are gone.
"I came here to learn to do magic... Our family are usually decent sorcerers, but not me. At least, not yet. I came here to see if i could trigger my magical blood, but it hasn't worked out yet."
"perhaps an infusion of magical blood... would your blood type perhaps be AB by any chance..." he frowns "in any case, you could still study to be a wizard, or even a psion, even those who are not fortunate enough to be gifted with magical power can still be powerful magicians, it just takes a bit more work" he smiles.
"I am well aware. Still just trying to see if i can trigger my sorcerer blood. As for blood type... I actually don't know, never had it tested."
Before Chara makes her way down Dom asks. "Do you need help down. The steps will be slippery."
"I'm guessing that you mean your deal with Anahita. If you wish to tell me fine but I not wanting to be in the middle of it ether." He talks like he doesn't but his motion say something much different.
Chara looked like she was going to cry. "I still can't go. I can't touch the ice. It hurts."
Sun looked to Chara. then to the ice
he wanted her to go with her friends. it wasn't fair.
He takes a deep breath. I can carry you if you want?
Sun looked like he would brave the ice for her depite his fear.
"I ask your blood type because mine is AB, I could flush the antibodies from it, but it would take time, and would result in a less potent, more temporary product, either way, remember that there are more than one ways to a solution, I shall help you if you wish"
"That sounds neat, I suppose... But I don't want to waste your time..."
Ace walks with Ginni to wherever Miss Jones leads them. Once inside office or classroom, he hands her the datapad. After she reads it over he says "You're kinda a specialist here. I'm not sure if you can actually succeed in helping rid me of Kalmafein, but I'm hoping you can at least offer me some advice on what to do next"
"I would suggest that you begin by researching how he did this. The less powerful version of this power can be undone simply by having someone else manifest it on the affected person. The two powers cancel each other out. If this works similarly, it's possible that we can cancel out the first manifestation by re-doing the same thing."
"Ah! You are a child of the wilderness then? Oh, my, this must all be so confusing for you!"
"If there is anything I can help with, please let me know. Even if it's just explaining social situations you don't understand."
Sun looked to Chara. then to the ice
he wanted her to go with her friends. it wasn't fair.
He takes a deep breath. I can carry you if you want?
Sun looked like he would brave the ice for her depite his fear.
She nodded. "Thank you, mr. Sun."
"Ignace-chan, how is this?" Midori holds up a piece of cloth she had cut out for her friend to inspect. The conversation in the room had tapered off a little as the two girls worked and Zilla-chan "helped". The fabric was well-cut, Midori's hands weren't powerful, but they were skillful and quick, perfect for the sartorial craft.
"Perfect. You have a talent for this. I could teach you how to sew as well if you wanted. But you don't have to. It's just an option."
Tyrrin returns to Jaiye's table, her tray actually quite full. Jaiye might note that Tyrrin looks very much better rested than Jaiye has *ever* seen her."What has become of Ehos?" Tyrrin asks off-handedly of her friend as she begins to eat her food at something of a feverish pace, rather than Tyrrin's usual casual indifference.
"I'm not exactly sure. We were talking about our plans for tonight and...whoosh. I think he's trying to surprise me somehow? I...am not sure. It was confusing."
as sheess starts transforming Sorun pokes his head out, seeing the tube and grim, Sorun smiles at grim then tells the others they can explore the cave, then swims over to the tunnel
"what is this!" He calls up
"Look. You may not know this, but anything that gets worshiped around here gains power from the worship of a being. I support Desna. She doesn't make me, I just do. These gods.... When they die, they come back as long as people continue to worship them. Look in a theology book. Other then a few cases, deities come back.

Maybe some other time, when i can think straight. he begins to walk out the door, leaving Johnny plenty of time to respond.
Johnny caches up and puts s/he hand on his shoulder.
"Look Adon, I did not mean to upset you, I think about this stuff and it comes out your know, Look you have been a great help, I would feel bad if this mean you not considering me one of your friends, lets agree to have out own view points, I respect your I truly do, just as I hope you respect mine. If we where all the same it would be a very dull life"
Johnny offers a hopeful smile.
"Look, I'm don't here for the day and lunch is just about over, how about we agree to have dinner later and you can tell me about yourself, I promise not to say any thing the may be remotely contensues, how dos that sound"
"That looks great Midori. I wish I could cut that well." Zilla looks at the piece of spare fabric she had been practicing on. Or rather butchering. The edges were cut all over the place along with being frayed all the way across. If the piece was to be used it would surly fall apart. She sighed at her attempt at cutting a piece of cloth. "I guess I'll just stick to handing you two stuff."
"It's okay Zilla-chan, maybe you just need more practice. Even if you aren't good at something, if you practice enough you'll always get better, ne?" Midori says with an encouraging smile, her melodious voice warm and happy.
"Perfect. You have a talent for this. I could teach you how to sew as well if you wanted. But you don't have to. It's just an option."
Midori shakes her head and then smiles at her firebird friend. "I am here to learn, Ignace-chan. I will learn whatever you will teach me."
"I'm not exactly sure. We were talking about our plans for tonight and...whoosh. I think he's trying to surprise me somehow? I...am not sure. It was confusing."
"Hm... strange." Tyrrin says thoughtfully. "You know." she starts speaking between bites. "We never did have someone to teach us how to play pool." Tyrrin says with a smile before taking another bite, remembering the first day she had met Jaiye.
The serpent continues to expand and lengthen, he swims to the edge of the room and continues his transformation into his gargantuan form
"Ooh Mr.Snake is a big dragon now." :)
