At the mention of the High Seer's name, Ace appears to get dizzy and sways a bit on his feet. He seems like he's about to fall over, and nearly does, when suddenly he catches himself, "Ugh, ooh, that wasn't good. That's the second time that's happened to me today." He says, half to himself
He shakes his head, and blinks a few times, "My sincerest apologizes High Seer, I am unsure what came over me. But I assure you, it has passed. The lovely young lady is Ginni, my girlfriend. The little ball of fur in her hands is a puppy we rescued just prior to meeting you."
"..." The High Seer merely observes as Ace has his episode, watching with hawk-like intensity.
"You should have yourself checked over with medical people, High Priest. A cleric of some sort, perhaps." Is all she says on the issue. "A pleasure to meet you as well, Ginni."
"Pardon my brusqueness, I really must speak with your Headmaster before he believes I have brought an army to his doorstep." Faelwen says, with a ghost of a smile. It is quite possible that the High Seer just made a joke. It's very obvious where Tyrrin gets her sense of humour.
Vai looks a little uncomfortable for a moment. "It... was a long time before I knew for certain that I loved him, Melody. I mean, maybe not a long time in the grand scheme of things... but I spent time with him every day for four months before I even kissed him on the cheek." Vai looks away, blushing, her hair falling in front of her face to cover one of her eyes. "I was only able to kiss him really just a few hours ago. It... it's hard for me to be close to someone like that. But I almost never get frustrated with him. But that doesn't mean anything Melody. Love is... strange. I'm sorry, I'm not really helping am I?"
"Nor should you, young one. I however can never go back to my vows. I only can hold there teachings close. I pray you never have to make a choice between your vows and what's right like I have." Looking to Ardiente "I suspect that Ardiente has had to make that choice as well. He still shows the pain of leaving behind his vow and that tells be more about if he can be trusted than any unbroken vow could. Someday you will understand, but today you should just hold your own vows close." He seemed to relax as the conversation move away from his own order and home.Lang looks to Ardiente
I only hope that an oath to be at my side and to train me is not one of those oaths.
Ardiente turns away from the conversation, walking a short distance away. What was wrong with him? That was the second time this evening he'd had an outburst like that. Was he so off-center? He had just gotten angry at a child, for something that he would've agreed with only yesterday. And now he had turned away instead of apologizing. He should right that wrong now, while he still had the chance.
The fiery firebird turns back to the group, Lang in particular, and bows. "I apologize Lang. It was only this morning that my oaths were removed from me. I have carried them since I was six years old. It is not something so easy to forget or forgive."
"Hay there is a kid here Adon, who can not use magic, he lost his sword, could you make him a new one? one that works for him?"
Star ask's the FireBird

You have nothing to apologize for.
Lang merely accepts his apology wishing to speak no more of it.

Melody looks to Vai Tell me what happened when I was told I lost my memory when I was with you and Fei. I remember transfering brain patterns into the bio-mass then I remember Tybs sending me to the infirmary did something happen?
After introducing himself, Tam took a look at Ehos' datapad settings, and found the security protocol Aananda tended to put in most of the devices she had a hand in making. He activated it for the young student so they could get on their way.
After they leave, he is a bit startled by his wife's reaction to the construct. He reaches out and puts a steadying arm around her before she falls.
"Easy, honey. You woke up hard there. Neat trick they've done, isn't it?" ;P
Tybalt plays so hard he has to start frosting the piano over to keep the keys from heating up. "Love this song." :3
He keeps his focus on support. Other people deserve the spotlight. :)
:: i don't have a sample on me, but mithros has one of my swords. ::
:: i suppose i could, after I'm done making a sword for Sadie. ::
Dave seems to loose himself playing the fiddle forgetting that there was anyone there or just not caring, Tybs would notice as this was likely his intent.
Tybalt smiles as he looks over the others. Music could help anyone. :)
adon gets a sparring partner to train, and he tosses he blade to his left hand, then holds his right behind his back. When asked what he was doing, he simply stated "handicapping myself."
the participant looked oddly at him for a moment, before adon said
"well, go on, attack me!"
every blow made by the opponent was matched, even using his non-dominant hand, and rather obviously little effort.
"no, strike lower. Faster there. You see, that leaves you open, you can't afford to hit my blade at all, if you do, I can twist it like... this and hit you, without chance of retaliation. Here, i want you to try.
as he switches to the offensive, it is clearly very hard for him not to make the quick and deadly strokes he usually does, and even as he tries to hold back, the student is nearly overwhelmed.
"you are doing good. Don't be discouraged- I'm rather well-practiced, and you are doing rather well being able to block my strikes at all."
Adon is trying, and fortunately, he did get one of the higher intermediates, who is taking the challenge rather well.

Ginni had attempted to curtsy when introduced, but curtsying while holding a puppy is...impractical at best. All she succeeded at was getting her wings to snap out from 'fun-size' to flight size in order to maintain her balance, which was embarrassing. She hated it when this happened because the larger wings were much more likely to get her mistaken for a demon. She watched Ace anxiously. These episodes of his were concerning. She just nodded when the High Seer excused herself, not trusting herself to speak without sounding like an idiot.

"Indeed. It's really amazing that all eleven of them have learned to work so well together already. Although you still shouldn't go wandering around without one of us present to keep you safe," she cautioned the astral construct.
Ace nods his head in agreement "I have been checked out already by the school's infirmary staff and given a clean bill of health. But I thank you for the suggestion" He says with a polite smile.
"As for your daughter, yes, both Ginni and I count her among our friends. Tyrrin and I share an enjoyment of stargazing and I believe her and Ginni have bonded over more intellectual pursuits."
When the High Seer excuses herself, Ace once more bows respectfully "It was both a pleasure and honor to meet you High Seer. Enjoy your time here at Avalon"
If Sadie gives her permission as she and Vai leave, Fei will stay with Dara for a little while to keep him company. If so, he makes a point to keep his movements slow and serene, and to remain seated on the floor as much as possible to be at his eye-level.
If Fei spies any drawings by the youngster in the playroom, he will compliment him on his work and make a few drawings of his own for him - some perhaps as visual aids to help learn some new words, but mostly to (hopefully) entertain. (^-^)
Dave doesn't smile so much as have a look of intense focus on his face for the rest of the song, when he returns the fiddle to the people who were coming back from break.
Dave is always so serious. Maybe if we do that later he will blow some steam off.. . .
Tybalt gets up and brushes the frost off the piano and bench.
"So what's next on the agenda? Stay here, check out the shops, wander around, whataya wanna do?" :)
Tyrrin returned to the table with Ghalen, with a small sigh. "Well, apparently my Mother is at the school, and would like to speak with me no doubt." Tyrrin says, watching Ghalen for his reaction to this news.
"I don't know, I did enjoy myself, and the food was good, you want to check out that fencing club, get some practice in before our little adventure tonorrow? right now we would be" he checks his pocket watch "eight miniutes late"
"Do we need to cut this short, or invite her in for some Sorbet?" he asks, slightly amused. Under the amusement is a tinge of disapointment, but a heap of understanding of how things go for someone in Tyrrin's position.
"I'm not good with a sword but I could try it. Johnny what do you think. Want to try some noncompetitive noncombat sword training? Like an art form really. Fencing is a great way to compete with weapons without actual injury." :)
You have nothing to apologize for.
Lang merely accepts his apology wishing to speak no more of it.
"If you say so." Ardiente says despondantly. He had much to apologize for. But he couldn't change that now, he could only try to make things better. "Can I see those plans... uh.. was it Ori?" she didn't look much older than some of the other students.. but then Ardiente remembers her sitting behind the tables in the registration table on his first day. "Er... Professor Ori." he corrects himself.
Vai thinks back to earlier in the day... it had been a difficult time for her, and she hadn't noticed too much. "After... after you did your thing.. you started babbling in some weird language. I didn't recognize it. And then you asked me who Nasima was." Vai pauses, to a little unsure. "I think, anyway. I wasn't really focusing."
The High Seer doesn't say anything else to the pair, merely smiling. Ginni notes that she didn't flinch or even seem to notice when her demonic wings are displayed. The High Seer moves inside.
She walks with confident assurance, not needing the arrows to find the Headmaster's office. Once she has arrived, she knocks politely and waits.
"Do we need to cut this short, or invite her in for some Sorbet?" he asks, slightly amused. Under the amusement is a tinge of disapointment, but a heap of understanding of how things go for someone in Tyrrin's position.
"I would rather not cut this short, as I am enjoying myself greatly. Did you have anything else planned for us this evening? Perhaps we can invite my Mother for some dessert, and then continue our evening together after we have spoken with her." Tyrrin was attempting to find a compromise. Any other day she might have simply returned to her duties, but she had set aside tonight specifically that she might not have to tend to anything. Fate, as they say, waits for no one, it would seem.
Repp continues to wander the halls, exploring the school and searching for the hubs of social activity. He is always mindful to stay out of the path of the big folk - they were careless and he did not appreciate being stepped on.
"I'm not good with a sword but I could try it. Johnny what do you think. Want to try some noncompetitive noncombat sword training? Like an art form really. Fencing is a great way to compete with weapons without actual injury." :)
"Guy's the night has only just started, Sam ran off, now after a whole week at school you want to spend bale to go back there, DUll!, look you can do what ever you like, but I'm being no Square and wasting my 1st night off back in class or club. I'm hitting the shops then heading to cheap side for to see some Inns. Hitting each other with pointy sticks can wait till next week"
Dave shrugs "I'm just saying I got nothing I need to buy, i already ate and I can't get drunk,"
"Dave, johnny is kinda right. I can drop you off but I kinda wanna stay down here too." He is obviously conflicted. Tonight was gonna be fun on the town but he wanted Dave to be happy too. :/
"Fair enough, I kinda just want to hit stuff right now, hitching a ride would be nice, if you guys are still down here when the club is over I'll fly down, remember to grab anything that looks like it would be useful on the trip,"
"If you just wanna hit stuff I have an idea whereas can buy things and do that." He gives his pointy excited smile.
"Ok now I am intrigued, I'm not saying I'll stay but l must know what you are referring to"
After as they walk away from the Dance hall Johnny leads them to a small park,
"Ty I like it, also Guys I was not going to say any thing about this till later but"
They stand in an open area.
"Ace did something to the Bio Vat, it sped up and got better, how I don't know but..."
Johnny looks up
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"We're gonna need a couple blunt objects and lots and lots of glass. Mostly reject vases and chipped plates. All the cheap stuff that won't sell or won't be missed." :3
From above out of the night sky slowly comes down the Bio-Craft its stops just above the park grass, looming into the night sky
"Is this a bad thing?" Dave looks confused "or are you offering a ride" Dave also looks up
"At the end of the night in the wee hours I am saying lets go have a look at this SUN place before they 'Dismantle' it, and to do that I need you Dave"
Johnny walks up and puts s/he hand on the craft feeling its skin.
"I would rather not cut this short, as I am enjoying myself greatly. Did you have anything else planned for us this evening? Perhaps we can invite my Mother for some dessert, and then continue our evening together after we have spoken with her." Tyrrin was attempting to find a compromise. Any other day she might have simply returned to her duties, but she had set aside tonight specifically that she might not have to tend to anything. Fate, as they say, waits for no one, it would seem.
"I had no plans past dessert, really, other than perhaps going for a walk outside. Any excuse to extend the evening I could think of, really..." he says smirking. "I have no problem meeting your mother, though, should you wish to invite her in. And if necessary I will, of course, afford you two any privacy you would require."
"To answer your question though, yes, I'd like to spend more time with you, mother's interference or no. Question is, should we rendezvous with your brother, as to ...blunt... any problems that may occur?"
"Sure thing whatcha need me to do"
As the craft descends Tybalt tenses up and grasps his staff tightly.
"Why do we want to go to the sun. Its made of fire." :(
"Actually it's ionized gass, or plasma, least that's what a normal star is made of, don't know about this one"
Johnny looks back at them.
"and that's where Dave comes in Ty, I designed this craft to Emulate the ability's of its occupants by sampling their DNA RNA, this means with Daves help we will be protected for a time from the heat, ionized gas's and plasma, for about 360 hours I hope, more than enough time"
Johnny looks at a group of locals looking at the craft and talking.
"Um I don't know if the fire immunity is part of my genetic code, It's part of my magic, but either way if be happy to help in any way I can"
"Well only one way to find out Dave, pop you hand on the hull and thing fire immunity, SIM me is inside and will start the integration, will take a wile but once done we can head off to the Dyson SUN"
Dave does so "should I channel some of my fire or anything?"
The High Seer doesn't say anything else to the pair, merely smiling. Ginni notes that she didn't flinch or even seem to notice when her demonic wings are displayed. The High Seer moves inside.
She walks with confident assurance, not needing the arrows to find the Headmaster's office. Once she has arrived, she knocks politely and waits.
"High Seer Denulia, it's a pleasure to have you here at Avalon, even if at first glance it appears you're trying to invade." He jokes. He gestures to the tea set on his desk. "Would you like a cup of tea?"
"I had no plans past dessert, really, other than perhaps going for a walk outside. Any excuse to extend the evening I could think of, really..." he says smirking. "I have no problem meeting your mother, though, should you wish to invite her in. And if necessary I will, of course, afford you two any privacy you would require."
"To answer your question though, yes, I'd like to spend more time with you, mother's interference or no. Question is, should we rendezvous with your brother, as to ...blunt... any problems that may occur?"
"There is always telepathy if we require privacy. I may have mentioned that my Mother is a powerful psion." Tyrrin says easily, thinking for a moment. It had been a very long time since she had simply walked for the pleasure of it. "Hmm... perhaps. Though on the other hand, perhaps it is best that he handles it on his own. I cannot always be there to save him from himself." Tyrrin says, just a little unsure. Ehos could probably use the help, but he also had to deal with the consequences of his choices. "If he is going to be with Jaiye, he needs to learn how to handle the discrimination that is going to come with it."
"Yes, I think in this case it's best not to learn. We may start to think like them, and then we won't be able to have a drink of water without it being romantic." Midori giggled, eventually selecting one of the safe dishes - a plate of sushi and a side of gyoza (dumplings), along with water to drink.She and Hew-kun make their way to a table and sit down together. Midori eats quitely and efficiently. Hew-kun has not seen her hand go to the shuriken holster since they left the classroom, and she doesn't seem to be scanning the room for danger nearly as often.
"That's very true." He pushes out through a chuckle. Hew observes her mannerisms have slightly changed. "You seem relaxed today." He smiled to her happy she doesn't seem on edge.
"Easy, honey. You woke up hard there. Neat trick they've done, isn't it?" ;P"Indeed. It's really amazing that all eleven of them have learned to work so well together already. Although you still shouldn't go wandering around without one of us present to keep you safe," she cautioned the astral construct.
Confusion. Worry? It blinks in response, making a small sound.
