Not exactly Hew, It's more like an adventure. I believe there is a hidden temple on the sun and I intend to find it and learn its secrets. But we were only given a few hours so we have to plan everything to find this temple.even if there are no secrets to find, I just hope I get the chance to commune with Voltair directly, maybe learn what wasn't written down.
I just hope the trip is actually worth it
"An adventure. Really!" At the mention of an adventure to find long forgotten ruins he gets all excited. "You only have an hour. That's no fun. So have you found it yet?" Hew turns his head toward his own shoulder. "It will be fun Zilla. I wish you had been with me while I was a squire." His picks his head up remembering something, and with a slightly disappointed tone. "Me and Zilla wouldn't be able to go. I still have to practice manifesting Zilla's body.
"Great! Um... One problem. I'm going to need a saddle. Settro can ride me bareback, but I'm rather slippery, so i don't think most people can."
"That's okay, I think we can find some in the school somewhere. Oh! We could go to the SIM rooms in the big kid school and ask it to make a temporary one!"
"That will probably work. Let's go to the simrooms then."
igni follows, saying very little.
Cethru, Michael's glass beetle construct, hops onto Kitty's shoulder with a note in it's mandibles.

[blink, blink]
"It was a test?"
She bowed, a sign of deep respect. "Thank you, Honored Elder."
"It was a test." Ehos' Mother confirms. "One which I will note that you have passed, with flying colours. Bravery, loyalty, beauty... even a bit of wit. And you have somehow managed to get Ehos to commit to a single woman. I would say that you are quite remarkable, Jaiye." she continues warmly. "So, tell me a little about yourself... or have I interrupted the two of yours evening?" there is a subtle but pointed glance at the birth control charms Jaiye and Ehos are wearing.
"Ano.. Lang-kun. Isn't the Sun really hot?" Midori asks a bit worriedly, squirming a bit. "Ignace-chan is from there, be? So it must be hot."
"Ano.. Lang-kun. Isn't the Sun really hot?" Midori asks a bit worriedly, squirming a bit. "Ignace-chan is from there, be? So it must be hot."
Lang renews his worried look Yes Midori it is very hot. that is why it is dangerous. but I figure if I can stand in the middle of Ignace's fire and make it out how bad can it be. besides I really need to find this temple.
he pauses a moment Its hard to explain.
but I'll have Ignace with me and maybe even grim, and I might have another firebird with me also.
I'm not going...." Sorun says glumly through a mouthful of cookie "it's too hot...and I'm helpless in a fire"
Kezzin leads the way to the cafeteria with Ignis in tow and Starlight on his shoulder , and heads straight to the kitchens, looking for his favorite cook.
Starlight go's with the ride
"I'll take Dave there first. I'm 8 seconds faster." :P
If there is no struggle Tybalt takes them both to the practice room.
When he arrives, "Hi Mel Adon Ren and others." =^_^= "Bye Mel Adon Ren and others."
He arrives back beside Johnny "Time!"
"9.2 Seconds"
"I'm pretty resilient to fire and can cast spells to make me even more resilient to it, and I'm going to be sure to prepare some spells to get me out in a hurry in case it's too much"
Repp watches a particularly interesting trio enter the cafeteria. A kobold, a fey and a firebird. He follows along behind them to see what they were up to.
though igni noctuces the gnome he pays it no heed at first.
"Have you asked Blackscales-sensei if you're allowed to go yet, Lang-kun? We're not supposed to leave the school grounds without her permission." Midori continues to sound, and glances at Grim-kun, and Sorun-kun, and tries to smile. "Don't worry Sorun-kun, I'm staying here too. We'll have fun, you, me and Hew-kun... or Zilla-chan. Okay?"
"9.2 Seconds""I'll take Dave there first. I'm 8 seconds faster." :P
If there is no struggle Tybalt takes them both to the practice room.

"Awesome. New record. Shall we?" :)
"It was a test." Ehos' Mother confirms. "One which I will note that you have passed, with flying colours. Bravery, loyalty, beauty... even a bit of wit. And you have somehow managed to get Ehos to commit to a single woman. I would say that you are quite remarkable, Jaiye." she continues warmly. "So, tell me a little about yourself... or have I interrupted the two of yours evening?" there is a subtle but pointed glance at the birth control charms Jaiye and Ehos are wearing.
Jaiye blushed slightly, though whether it was caused by the compliment, the pointed comment, or both was difficult to determine. "This is apparently a very interruptible evening, ma'am," she said with a shrug and a slight smile. "If you want to know about me, there isn't much to tell. I was driven out of my pack because the pack leader's mate considered me to be competition for her position. It's a common enough problem. I wandered for a while and eventually ended up at Avalon, fell in with a bad crowd, that didn't work out so well, became friends with Tyrrin who helped me understand that there were other ways to deal with problems than just brute force, fell for Ehos who took a rather long time figuring that out....that's the short version anyways."

Kitty got her new patient all settled in for the night, said her farewells to Ace and Ginni who looked like they were headed out for a late dinner as well and headed for Michael's room. She knocked on the door.
"I specified bags of holding. I was making sure i was clear."
he turns back to Morrovian
"well, i know it isn't. Like i said, or would be banned in most sparring matches... You wouldn't be able to participate in a lot of things, and many people won't be willing to spar with you. However, if it's your style of fighting, you should cultivate it."
"I didn't even know this could be considered a style of fighting. I just thought I was doing it wrong. Thanks." ^.^
"You know, you're catching on to this teaching stuff pretty well."
"Sure I'll make it happen, so do I use my own blade or would you guys rather i use one provided"
"We're using practice blades tonight. I'd rather not have anyone get hurt in the first meeting....there'll be plenty of time for that later," she added dryly.
"thanks. now, do your best to hit me with that."
he draws his blade in preperation to a strike.
"That works, is there a line for who to spar against" Dave looks somewhat excited
"That works, is there a line for who to spar against" Dave looks somewhat excited
"Right now the more experienced swordsmen are helping the newbies figure out which end of the sword is which," she joked, "but if you want a sparring match, I think Renkai is free. Just be forewarned, he's really good."
"thanks. now, do your best to hit me with that."
he draws his blade in preperation to a strike.
Once more Morrivan circled around him with her odd fighting stance, but this time her weapon moved with her. She feinted, making it seem that one side of the chain was about to strike, but changing it at the last second so the other end moved towards him instead.
Jaiye blushed slightly, though whether it was caused by the compliment, the pointed comment, or both was difficult to determine. "This is apparently a very interruptible evening, ma'am," she said with a shrug and a slight smile. "If you want to know about me, there isn't much to tell.

"Yes, my son can be rather thick-skulled at time, can he not?" Denulia teased, which earned an indignant 'Mother!' from the datapad. "Still... I am glad my children have had such a positive effect on your life, Jaiye. I expect no less from either of them." she pauses, scanning the body language between Jaiye and Ehos. "... and if you are going to be part of this family, then I will also expect the best from you as well."
"You are planning to attend the Equinoctial festival." it wasn't a question, her face becoming a little more serious. "It will be... difficult. The people may not be entirely ready to accept a lycan in their midst. But... you are remarkably resilient, Jaiye. I will place my faith in you."
Kitty got her new patient all settled in for the night, said her farewells to Ace and Ginni who looked like they were headed out for a late dinner as well and headed for Michael's room. She knocked on the door.
Michael opens the door a crack to see who it is, then slips out smiling, opening the door as little as possile.
"Okay, I was thinking about what you said earlier, and since I'm not the best with words sometimes, I decided to show you that I still care for you and don't plan to leave you behind at all. Rather hard to do, since alchemy is my greatest asset and I decided to stay out of the lab. So, what to do? I realized I could still use alchemy without a lab, or at least not the one most people would think of. I know it soundslike rambling so, without further delay, dinner is served!" He opens the door wide to reveal a short legged table with(Michael hopes) four dishes from Kitty's coastal home.
"Yes, my son can be rather thick-skulled at time, can he not?" Denulia teased, which earned an indignant 'Mother!' from the datapad. "Still... I am glad my children have had such a positive effect on your life, Jaiye. I expect no less from either of them." she pauses, scanning the body language between Jaiye and Ehos.

"It will be... difficult. The people may not be entirely ready to accept a lycan in their midst. But... you are remarkably resilient, Jaiye. I will place my faith in you."
"Thank you. I know that it's a risk, but," she glanced at Ehos, her feelings for him easy to read, "some things are worth taking risks for."
"I hope that someday there can be peace between our peoples...well, as much peace as you're ever going to get with lycans. A culture built around the idea that the strongest rules is never going to be without conflict, but there are other ways to work through that conflict without mass slaughter. And in order for that to happen, both sides have to learn not to see the other as monsters...that has to start somewhere. Might as well be with me," she finished with a self-conscious slightly uncomfortable smile.
"How else am I to get better if not by fighting he who is better than me and settin the bar at their level"
"Thank you. I know that it's a risk, but," she glanced at Ehos, her feelings for him easy to read, "some things are worth taking risks for."

Denulia gets a sad kind of expression on her face, and nods. "You are wise beyond your years, Jaiye."
She glances at Ehos a moment, obviously a telepathic exchange taking place between the two. "I will not delay your evening any further. It is your weekend after all, and I'm sure you would rather spend it enjoying each other than talking with me in the halls. Oh Ehos. Don't be coy. There's nothing to ashamed of."
Michael opens the door a crack to see who it is, then slips out smiling, opening the door as little as possile.

He opens the door wide to reveal a short legged table with(Michael hopes) four dishes from Kitty's coastal home.
Kitty stood there for a moment just taking it in before throwing herself into Michael's arms for an enthusiastic hug.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou," she squealed before taking the time to breathe. "Best boyfriend ever," she added with a grin before she kissed him.
"Have you asked Blackscales-sensei if you're allowed to go yet, Lang-kun? We're not supposed to leave the school grounds without her permission." Midori continues to sound, and glances at Grim-kun, and Sorun-kun, and tries to smile. "Don't worry Sorun-kun, I'm staying here too. We'll have fun, you, me and Hew-kun... or Zilla-chan. Okay?"
well I didn't talk to her yet but I am with Ignace's father, I am working with Professor Salis, and Professor Reading on this. So I did see three other teachers
Lang sits down Besides, I'm tired of being treated like a baby. finding this temple is very important to me. And I am just as capable as many of the older kids maybe even more so.
Lang looks a bit sad apparently having disappointed Midori
In a way, thats hard to explain, the temple I am seeking is a holy place to people like me, this is like a religious pilgrimage. Normally I wouldn't go until I was 16, but with the place being destroyed I have to go now.
He grabs another map. If you don't want to support me going thats fine too. I won't stop considering you a friend. and thanks for the cookies
Lang grabs another cookie and starts to read over the map.
Kitty stood there for a moment just taking it in before throwing herself into Michael's arms for an enthusiastic hug.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou," she squealed before taking the time to breathe. "Best boyfriend ever," she added with a grin before she kissed him.
"First you crush the breath out of me.. then you steal it away.." Michael says, breatheless. "We aren't even sure we won't get food poisoning yet."
** spoiler omitted **
still doesn't change the fact that I don't remember doing any of that but, right now I feel fine, Fei is doing fine,no side effects I hope, and You have him back again so you are doing fine. sleep well the Universe is in Harmony for the moment
Melody opens to the door to go back to the dueling club room. if yuou don't mind I would rather just watch for a bit, ok?

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou," she squealed before taking the time to breathe. "Best boyfriend ever," she added with a grin before she kissed him.
She grinned. "I'm willing to risk it. Just knowing that you went to all this trouble for me means a lot to me."
She sat down at the table and picked up a pair of chopsticks. "Itadakimisu."
"Here goes nothing," she said with a wink as she tried the caterpillar roll.
"I think I'm banned from the kitchen.." He admits, hoping she wasn't about to keel over.
After making sure the pup was settled, Ace and Ginni start the walk back to town. Before they even get too far past the school, Ace decides this is taking too long. "I am far too impatient to start our date, hold on tight for another teleport" With that, he wraps his arm around her waist again, and transports them to just outisde Kuros, so they can walk in like normal people.
"I think I'm banned from the kitchen.." He admits, hoping she wasn't about to keel over.
"It's...fine. Unagi can be difficult to cook correctly....I've had worse," she said, trying to be reassuring.

Ginni smiles as they finally arrive at Kuros, looking around at the bustling town. "I was starting to think we were never going to get here."
"So, I guess first things first we find someplace to eat?"
"Entirely up to you my dear, as I am leaving you in charge." He says with a bow.
"I think I'm banned from the kitchen.." He admits, hoping she wasn't about to keel over."It's...fine. Unagi can be difficult to cook correctly....I've had worse," she said, trying to be reassuring.
"You're not throwing up, I'll count that as a win." :D
"Entirely up to you my dear, as I am leaving you in charge." He says with a bow.
"Hmmm....." She looked around as they walked, trying to spot a restaurant that would work. Eventually her gaze landed on a small place, not empty, but not overly crowded either. It was lit with colorful glass lanterns and the tables had cheerful brightly colored tablecloths.
"Let's go there," she said pointing to the restaurant. "I don't know how the food will be, but it looks romantic."
"You're not throwing up, I'll count that as a win." :D"I think I'm banned from the kitchen.." He admits, hoping she wasn't about to keel over."It's...fine. Unagi can be difficult to cook correctly....I've had worse," she said, trying to be reassuring.
"What's important to me is that you spent the time and effort to do all of this for me," she said honestly. "I uh...think I'll try the soup," she said, not really wanting to force down more burnt eel.
With her son fully embarassed, the High Seer bids farewell to the pair and turns away with a smile. She walks slowly through the hallways, making for Tyrrin.
Ehos was extremely red, but he couldn't keep the silly grin from his face. His Mother actually approved. He had not seen that coming. He kisses Jaiye on the cheek, and holds the datapad for her to see. 'Well.. that was unexpected.'

Lang grabs another cookie and starts to read over the map.
"That's not what I mean, Lang-kun." Midori says quietly, sounding a little abashed that Lang had misunderstood her. "I know you can fight well, I can tell just by the way you move... but didn't you promise Blackscales-sensei you would ask her first? I... I mean. I am sure she will be okay with it, especially if Ignace-chan's dad is going too. I just didn't want you to get in trouble."
"... And... I know you weren't there... but if something goes wrong like at the beach... it can be scary and I don't want you to die. You're my friend."
Melody opens to the door to go back to the dueling club room. if yuou don't mind I would rather just watch for a bit, ok?
Vai simply nods and smiles at Melody's reassurance.
"That's fine. If you don't like it, if your heart isn't in it, you aren't going to have fun." Vai shrugs. It was true. She follows Melody back into the fencing room, watching Morrivan and Adon fight. Morrivan wasn't using a sword though.
Lang looks to midori Apologeticlly I'll go tell her.
Lang smiles and gives a quick glance toward grim
Besides Midori, I can't die... Grim said I'm not allowed to die and he knows all about that stuff he whispers to her.
"I see, so you .. effectively came here for companionship, food and advancing your studies-- what are you studying?"
Anahita was sampling the remainder of her food at this point, and sipping some of the drink. She didn't seem to be a heavy eater, but she certainly did appear to enjoy the various tastes.
"Healthy diet is critical, good call there, Rena." She adds to the companion.
"Well... my study of the Arcane is reaching a point where I believe I am going to have to begin crafting my own spells. There are simply no more commonly known spells for me to learn. And if I fear if I stop pressing forward I will only fall backwards." Vare says pleasantly. He's obviously not bragging, merely stating facts.
"I certainly seem to have found what I was searching for here. People who are willing to accept me... virtually without question. Like yourself, Miss Anahita. It... means a great deal to me that you are able to look past my queerness."
"Sounds good to me" He says. Walking hand in hand, the young couple enters the restaurant Ginni picked out, and in short order were seated near a window. Their table had a bright purple tablecloth and pair of lanterns, one red and orange that looked like a flame and another that was a more simple bright green one.
Their waiter comes over and hands them a pair of menus. "Can I start you off with a drink, or an appetizer?"
