"No, please Melody. I need to be normal, and so I really should have a roommate. I just... miss Nasima sometimes. You can stay, alright?" Vai says, attempting to put her foot down on this issue by sounding serious. "Besides, we're band-mates right?" the dragon-girl continues. "We still need a few more people, right?" Vai directs the conversation away from the apparently closed-topic of roommate-ness, to the band.

As Adon is eating, a winged kobold that Adon has seen about the school from time to time takes an empty tray to the kitchen and returns with a full one and approaches Adon's table. [b]"Hey, seen you around school. My name's Kezzin. You look a little, um, half-starved. You okay?"[/ooc]
After the boys left she turned to Salis.
"You know, being around me isn't entirely safe. I don't want to hurt you....I don't think anyone would blame you in the slightest for cutting your losses before things go any further. I'm tempted to break things off for your own good even though it's not what I want."
"It's nice to know your worried, but I am not worried about being hurt physically by your spirit. So unless you plan on emotionally distressing me, you shouldn't worry about that. If you wish I could enlighten you to a small secret to ease your mind." He confidently told her.
"Oh, Midori, you look so beautiful! It's even better than I expected!" Ignace exclaimed, absolutely thrilled.At that, Midori blushes modestly, and looks at Zilla-chan, wanting to hear her opinion.
Zilla squees at the sight of Midori in her yukata. "Your so beautiful!" She flew around her taking in everything. "Ignace you did such a great job. Oh I wish I could wear the one you were doing for me. I'm sorry you did all that work to."
Ace bows slightly to Aylya "Pleasure to meet you my dear"
He turns back to Johnny "Uh, yea. Its about before, with Fei, when you stepped into the light around Vai and I. I got a sense that you're similar to Vai, somehow. I think you might be a champion like her, whatever that means. Honestly, I have no idea what was happening most of that time, and I'm not even sure if what I felt was real, or some sort of hallucination. I really don't know."
"you think I may be a champion? sorry ace but I did't know what you mean by that, could you explain, you say Vai is one?..."
Johnny looks confused
As Adon is eating, a winged kobold that Adon has seen about the school from time to time takes an empty tray to the kitchen and returns with a full one and approaches Adon's table. "Hey, seen you around school. My name's Kezzin. You look a little, um, half-starved. You okay?"
Smegly looks in the window as the two stuff there faces,
At first the green seemed quiet when Fei walked out. Then, in rather quick succession, a half-dressed student (one of the young women from the Fencing club meeting earlier, he thinks) heads toward the building from the lake with purpose, and a loud bellowing voice not too far from where he is standing carries across the green.
When Fei looks back around, the young woman has already disappeared inside. He walks toward the source of the voice, and comes upon the massive, bedraggled giant standing at the far end of the Cafeteria windows.
"Um...hello? Are you...alright?" the young monk asks politely.
Dave nods to the man and leavs, grabbing a few drinks and waiting.
Is spying on Sam
Nods back happy to meet others
Is picking up bits of a student who just crashed a SIM ROOM wile playing 'Planes jumping' at silly speeds. The biggest part went to the medical wing to be made whole again wile the others get binned .

Vai directs the conversation away from the apparently closed-topic of roommate-ness, to the band.
Melody smiles as Vai seems adamant in her request.
See Vai, you can be strong and forceful when you need to be. I'm not going anywhere. Unless you really do need alone time with your boyfriend sometime.
When she shifts the conversation to the band.
You are right on that I am hoping to get a keyboard and another guitar. Kai doesn't want to be on stage but he will support with back up. and I haven't met these drummers but I am sure they will be just what we need.
Melody seems real excited that Vai is still interested in the band idea.
I have all sorts of ideas and I was even working of making a recording studio to make an album and distribute around the school. gets our neame and music in people's minds thus when a live performace surfaces there will be more anticipation from the fan base
Melody goes over to grab her datapad.
here let me show you some ideas

Smegly now very hungry can take it not more and will no one is looking opens the door and gos over to the masses of food stands looking at it, but dos not take any, just looks.
"O dat look very nice, and dat and dat"
He says licking his chops, he left his useless club outside
Its rudes to brings dat in

She took a step closer to him without thinking about it. "I think that would be a good idea. You may not be worried about it, but right now I am and it very much makes a difference if there's some reason I shouldn't," she said, carefully watching his facial expressions.
Ace shakes his head "Weren't you listening? I have no idea what was happening that entire time. It was sort of like when Kal takes over, except I was aware of what took place, and can remember it all. Almost like somebody or something else was in control and I was watching what it did"
Lang goes ot his room, Sun following
he puts the maps on his bare, spartan desk. he grabs his staff and sets it with the maps.
gathering everything we may need before we go. we can put it all here so its ready in the morning. Ok Grim?
Once he has his stuff togetehr Lang lays down on his bed.
Thanks for coming along Grim. I wanted to ask you another favor if you don't mind
"Uh sure what do you need?" He says taking off his black hooded jacket .
"Uh sure what do you need?" He says taking off his black hooded jacket .
Well you and I both have strong spiritual connections right? and you seem to have a strong connection to the spirits of people that have died.
Lang rolls over to look at Grim
can you find some spirits for me? I want to find the spirits of those that were killed when Ori went to that rampage so we can talk to them. Is that possible?
"Um maybe, it'd be easier if I knew where this stuff happened, but I could just get the word out that I'm looking and see what happens" he shrugs "dad would just be able to snap his fingers and the spirit he wanted would jus be there, im not tha good, but I'll try"
Once he sees the man leave Tybalt appears next to Dave. Kinda. Dave can see him. And then other people can.
"Why do girls go to the bathroom together?" He muses out loud.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Gossip presumably" he shrugs
Zilla squees at the sight of Midori in her yukata. "Your so beautiful!" She flew around her taking in everything. "Ignace you did such a great job. Oh I wish I could wear the one you were doing for me. I'm sorry you did all that work to."
Midori's blush deepens, the rose tint on her skin turning scarlet. It was rare that she was called beautiful - beauty wasn't exactly a prize trait for kunoichi. "Arigato ne, mina-san." she says shyly, smiling back at her friends.

well trying is all anyone can ask. but I believe you can do it. your probably the only one here that can.
I hope he can. it might help me to understand more. I promised to help Ori and her spirit and I can't let them down. .
Thanks again Grim.
Lang rolls back over like he is going to sleep
I'm going to find that Temple, I just hope that my friends don't get hurt in the process. I hope I don't get hurt.
Lang is trying to hide his troubled feelings
Melody smiles as Vai seems adamant in her request.

Melody goes over to grab her datapad.
here let me show you some ideas
"I... don't think the alone time thing is going to be a problem any time soon, Melody. I... finally kissed him today for the first time and almost had a panic attack because of it." she says in a reserved way, not really sure if she wanted to be discussing this with her, but there it is.
Vai listens to Melody talk exitedly about the band while she retrieves her harp, and then goes over to look at her datapad full of ideas. "Honestly I didn't know Zren and Rikken had a sense of rythym, but I guess people can surprise you. Those two really are cool though. We had a tea party once."
Ace shakes his head "Weren't you listening? I have no idea what was happening that entire time. It was sort of like when Kal takes over, except I was aware of what took place, and can remember it all. Almost like somebody or something else was in control and I was watching what it did"
Johnny shakes s/he head copying Ace, then leans in close whispering.
"Ace mate, This Champ thing is nuts ok, I have no idea what it means, your looking at me as if I know. You have any idea how nuts this all sounds to others, on the face of it I would say, 'Hay ace tried to kill Ty ok and was all "Wow no idea I did that" from what others have said, you have more than one living in that head of yours man. so I could put it down to that 'other' once again taking over the controls, but for the fact I was there with you."
Johnny moves his hand and a holo projection of the events appear small but in-front of them.
"See me and you with Vai and that odd light thing that came from you, I recorded it Ace every moment in minuet detail, I have systems that see in 5D space, so trust me its all there, thing is I have NO idea what it means none at all, whats more worrying is my internal systems have no **** idea as well. Just power spikes and some other unknown force. Hell my eyes changes color with out my say so."
the image winks out.
"But you want to know whats really odd as *** ACE. I got this feeling then, a deep down feeling that some thing or some one was trying to talk to me, words but I just could not hear, deep in my subconscious and the thing whats really scary is I started to get that same feeling about 10 mins ago. Its just outside my compensation ace, a kind of whispering, telling me I have to be some place, I need to be some place and I have no idea where or why, and its freaking me out, in fact I'm trying my best to shut it out right now, whats worrying me is, I have systems nothing and I mean nothing here about can get past, yet something has"
Johnny looks at Ace worriedly
"Meh. . . . So when other people can't see me and you can, can you see that you shouldn't see me?"
He places a hand on Dave and they are both at the booth where their drinks were.
"I... don't think the alone time thing is going to be a problem any time soon, Melody. I... finally kissed him today for the first time and almost had a panic attack because of it." she says in a reserved way, not really sure if she wanted to be discussing this with her, but there it is.

Melody goes no further on the relationship topic she is definately more excited about the band.
here are some stage layouts I was working on. They are all just rough drafts of course but sometimes I get ideas flowing and I need to capture them.
Looking to vai when can I meet these two? I would love to hear them play, possibly get some more ideas from them.
Suddenly Melody notices Vai has her harp. You going to practice now? we don't even have any playlists yet.?
the two elf maids come back.

"Hmm... maybe you could talk to Fieri about stage layout? She's been doing the whole band thing for a while now, and might have some suggestions? Honestly those look good to me... even if I'm not gonna be on stage."
"I can probably introduced you to them tomorrow. I don't have anything planned for the weekend other than to work on my meditation practice." Vai offers. She didn't know the half-ogres' schedules, but they did like meeting new people.
"I'm gonna go play for my nieces and nephews. They're still in their eggs, but they like music. And I haven't spent time with my brother or sister in far too long, and they'll be there too." Vai sounds a bit apologetic, as she didn't want Melody to feel like she was ditching out on her.

Oh yeah I've heard of her she's in that group Fain, right? I think I've met her, sort of, she wasn't interested in meeting me at the time though. stardom I guess
Upon hearing Vai going to play for her family mel does seem a bit disappointed.
Yeah, well, you have fun, ok, I'll...be here I guess..
she shuts down her datapad and grabs her guitar and sit on the bed getting ready to prcatice.
Melody is trying to appear happy that Vai is going to see her family. but she has a look like, Vai could possibly be the first girlfriend she has ever had in her life.
She took a step closer to him without thinking about it. "I think that would be a good idea. You may not be worried about it, but right now I am and it very much makes a difference if there's some reason I shouldn't," she said, carefully watching his facial expressions.
"You remember that book I let you barrow. That book is less fiction than one would think." He smiled to her knowing that could spur a line of questions. Anywhere from what parts to you just made up the wulven, right. He knew she probably already guessed the peaceful monk telling the story was based on himself.
Midori's blush deepens, the rose tint on her skin turning scarlet. It was rare that she was called beautiful - beauty wasn't exactly a prize trait for kunoichi. "Arigato ne, mina-san." she says shyly, smiling back at her friends.
"How about yours Ignace? Can we see you in yours?" She asked while fluttering happily around.
Vai does seem a bit distracted, but she grimaces. "Fi's not really a diva, she's just busy alot of the time. She teaches music and has eggs to look after and a husband, right? Anyway. I'll probably see you tomorrow, right Mel? We'll practice then, and go and meet Zren and Rikken."
"I don't have much to do tomorrow... um... just to warn you, I get up before dawn every morning. I'll try to be quiet but it's been a long time since I had a roommate."

"I don't have much to do tomorrow... um... just to warn you, I get up before dawn every morning. I'll try to be quiet but it's been a long time since I had a roommate."
Ok...see ya then...
Mel waits for Vai to leave then she uses her "sonic" to lock the door.
she then goes back to practice and composing.
"You remember that book I let you barrow. That book is less fiction than one would think." He smiled to her knowing that could spur a line of questions.

"Is this a 'names have been changed to protect the innocent' kind of less fictional than it might be presented or have details been changed too?" she asked, taking another step closer, making it so she had to look up to keep watching his face.
"How about yours Ignace? Can we see you in yours?" She asked while fluttering happily around.
Midori's blush deepens, the rose tint on her skin turning scarlet. It was rare that she was called beautiful - beauty wasn't exactly a prize trait for kunoichi. "Arigato ne, mina-san." she says shyly, smiling back at her friends.
"Yes, of course, though I'll need some help getting into mine as well. If your new size is going to be a permanent thing, Zilla, I'll just remake yours in a smaller size," she said, as she started to work on putting on her pink yukata.
::Headmaster, I have never felt so alive as I do when I am with her.:: he argues, shifting slightly and looking at Anahita's shifting form so near to him.
::I do not wish to... endanger my employment. But... she's... incredible.:: he sounds confused again, unsure. He had not met a Professor Reading.
::Professor, I understand that you feel that way, but such relationships either end badly or cause the nasty rumors of special treatment. I have my school's already rough reputation to think about.::
Vai heads out, waving goodbye to Melody as she does, making her way to the hatchery, and entering quietly. The room was a bit warmer than the rest of the school, but it was comfortably so.
"So James... you haven't been working yourself to death, right?" Vai asks as she sits down next to her brother, strumming a few notes and making sure her harp was tuned properly.
Rena looks from the little girl back to Tryko'Sam. "I know I have seen similar marks before... but I can't remember where. But..." the serpentine creature looks a little morose that these children are hiding in a alleyway like this. "Listen, children, there is nothing wrong with your friend... but. If your parents aren't ready to accept it... perhaps it's best he stays a secret for now, right?"
"They might not understand, but I think what you are doing is magic."
Tryko'Sam nods and smiles at Rena, muttering under his breath he adds, "Awesome, so she's just being treated like a weirdo or different, right? Seems like ignorance is a universal theme no matter where you go."
Figuring the other fellow having fled or something now, Trko'Sam keeps vigil as Rena does her interaction.

"Nah, that's Ephebe's gig. I stop at exhaustion," he said with a wry smile.
He reached out and touched the shell of each of his four eggs in turn. "We were supposed to tell them their names tonight. They've been so impatient since their cousins all have their names already. But Fi's thing is urgent so it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Not even hatched yet, and already pouting," he added with a grin.
In a quiet, little travelled section of the school's outer grounds a glowing red light irises open. A shadowy figure steps through, its bulking form backlit with a magenta corona from the glowing portal.
As soon as the form steps out, the portal vanishes. A man is left standing in the trim grass, looking about warily.
The man is large, and build wide as well. His hair is a greying buzz cut, with some sort of tattoo inked over the sides of his clean-shaven skull. The tattoo extends over his bullish neck and disappears beneath his collar. One ice-blue eye stares out from a scarred grey face, scanning the area with a hunter's watchfulness. The other eye is a bulging red-irised monstrosity with a goatish barbell pupil.
The man is dressed in some sort of uniform, black with red piping up the legs. A peaked cap with a silver skull-and-crossed-pitchfork symbol rests on the top of his wide skull. Several dozen colorful medals dangle from the chest pocket of the uniform.
Behind the man's ear a large sword hilt hangs, with a magenta gem set in its pommel. A matched pair of hilts with similar stones poke out of the largish duffle the man carries. The duffle itself might once have been red, but time has faded it to a weathered pink. A multitude of patches are sewn onto the duffel, along with long strings of various-sized ivory beads of some sort.
The man raises a tube to his lips and flicks a match. A bent brown cigarillo sends a thin thread of pungent smoke into the sky. Puffing fast to ignite the cheroot, the man fishes in his duffel and retrieves a creased square of parchment. He scans it and grunts.
Slinging the pink duffel over one broad shoulder, the man walks briskly towards the entrance of the school.
Vare also gets to his feet, following after Anahita, who is still in her passion - though it has shifted apparently to anger from desire. "Miss Anahita, wait please. I believe he has our best interests in mind." he says, following after her and placing his hand on her arm, attempting to calm her. Not exactly a diplomat though, but his words do carry the weight of thought. He is evidently, somewhat disturbed as well, but attempting to be the neutral party
"I do not know why he is speaking only with me, but... perhaps..."
Vare pauses a second, organizing his thoughts before replying to the Headmaster. It is obvious that he is conversing telepathically, just for the slight changes in expression on his face, which would normally accompany speech. ::Headmaster, we are doing Anahita a disservice by excluding her from this conversation. I believe we can be discreet... and there are ways to avoid the appearance of favouritism.::
He takes the hand of the young woman he is with, attempting to calm her. While he is also somewhat surprised at their interruption - perhaps even irritated, he is masking this is an attempt to find a diplomatic solution. "I believe there is some social concerns the Headmaster has... he is worried that we may alienate ourselves, becoming pariahs in our own way..." Vare continues to try and diffuse the situation. He definitely did not want his thoughtless actions to cause anger or animosity between anyone.

She snarled and stepped away, his words were clearly falling on her angry emotions and little else. Even her twin visage, combined with her own youthful appearance snarled in unison at any attempt to mollify her.
"Words!!!? We had done, nothing, unnatural!! To be spied on!!??"
Slapping away Vare's hand and efforts, her face twisted from anger as quickly as a storm rolling onto the fields might, with it her face breaks and snaps. A voice wretched with the emotion of betrayal just as swiftly where before lust and innocence once held dominion.
"I.." she uttered, voice cracking as tears ran down her gorgeous face. With a choke of anguish and then a subtle shudder of suppressed anguish, she ran, a step, then two, and with it her shape and form blended by her emotion, into that of a black wolf, golden eyes gleaming back at Vare as she trotted into the nearby underbrush.
Giving him a glance of obvious animalistic rage, and a snarl of bared teeth, she then lifted her snout to the heavens and let loose a mournful howl of anguish and fury, echoing through the once prior night.
And then, she ran off, watery amber eyes soon obscured by the very darkness she sought to find solace within, away from the robed man.
((Ooc: sorry for short and shitty, have to jet to lunch, be back soon!!))
"Nah, that's Ephebe's gig. I stop at exhaustion," he said with a wry smile.

"Was that a pun about Krays? Gross." Vai sticks her tongue out, obviously much more relaxed around her family than non-family members. "Ooooh. Have you talked to Mom and Dad today?" Vai asks after James talks about giving them their names. She hoped Fieri hadn't decided to honour her Grandfather with a name.... but Vai didn't really have a say in it. "It must have to do with the Sun if it's so urgent." Vai says off-handedly, as she begins to play a melody which evokes adventure, hardship and struggle... but also hope.

"No, I haven't had a chance to talk to Mom and Dad......there's something to talk about I take it?"
"Yeah, I think Fi and Ardi are trying to locate all the firebirds who have been abjured. Want to give them a heads up before the sun goes boom, you know?"
"Your playing is getting better."
