zix of course notices the book title, but not the subtitle as you were covering it :;ah a book on sutra magic, I had planned on teaching some of the magic of the offuda to my students, facinating magic, albiet not to terribly potent:: he holds up a book on sutra magic and you can immiedietly tell it has nothing to do with karma suttra
Miklos bows in return
"I will be happy to teach you what I know of the Steel Dance, Lady Rosa."
He gestures
"Shall we see the headmaster?"
Rosa follows then to the door then says
"I have tasks to see you, I wish you a good eve"
With that she makes her leve
Miklos nods
"Thank you for you assistance Lady Rosa."
He heads for the door and raps on it smartly
"Um... Vare was on... a date. I'm sure not... they want to be interrupted." Rena says uncertainly. "Listen children." she says, a little uncertainly as everyone was suddenly looking at her.
"Little ones... maybe you ought to show your parents. You should be honest with them. Maybe they will register you in the school. There are many people there who can help you learn to control this: I'm fairly certain it is magic, and the school can help with that. We can help you if they don't understand." She's still holding herself fairly low to the ground, but she has inched closer to Tryko'Sam, uncertain of herself.
"But what of they don't like her." She says with soulful eyes and just a very small bit of bottom lip sticking out.
"Look, Johnny, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should talk to Vai? I know she's a Champion, whatever that means."
He puts his arm around Ginni "I was gonna try and find you at some point over the weekend, but tonight is my first date with Ginni and I don't wanna risk ruining it by arguing in circles. You want answers? I don't have them. Seek out Vai. Or maybe the headmaster. He seems to know all sorts of crazy things."
Vai had jumped slightly when Phaezeriel's mental voice had first come about, but when she realized the source, there was a gleeful squee. "Hi Phaeze!" she had said, and immediately stopped playing to go huge her demonic friend.
She listens as Phaeze tells them why he was here, and then James' reaction. Vai of course knew that the infirmary trip was Fei's fault just as much as the other thing, but she stays quiet on that for the moment. "Phaeze! It's been so long... okay... it's been a couple days. How are you? How's work on Chara's cure? What's teaching like?" a veritable battery of questions aimed the way of her quasit-ish friend, all with a smile on her face, the melancholy from before dispelled at the sight of her friend.
Phaezeriel returns the hug enthusiastically, smiling the while. ::I am making progress, and with the agreement of our pain-eating fellow student, I am confident that with in a week we should be able to make an attempt at healing her. Teaching is, mmm, interesting. Particularly since I am not actually a teacher. Finding the balance between teaching authority and student status is a bit of a task. It is a good thing, between class curricula, creating psychic items, and actually teaching the novices, that I do not need sleep.::

"Heh yah I have studied sutra magic. Not extensivly mind you, but a little. Magics fundumentals work alittle differntly here, than where I'm from. So I'm only familiar with therories behind magic here." He moves over to a returns cart and places the books upon it. "Forgive me for my ignorance but what race are you? Much of my knowledge of races is what is from my home and what I have read." He asks slightly quizically.
"Look, Johnny, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should talk to Vai? I know she's a Champion, whatever that means."

"Ooookkkaa, well Ginni, Ace and others in there ace, is been real, have a good night"
With that Johnny takes Aylya's hand and walks off.
"Sorry Aylya, that Guys got some mental problems and more than one living in his head, I'm not joking, let me tell you what he did to Ty..."
Then they are gone.
As the night moves on, 4:30 comes fast, Johnny and Aylya find themselves at the Shuttle port, waiting for Aylyn, Alylr, Dave and Ty, who they spy walking down the street.
Aylya is holding onto Johnny,
"You know that was a fun night, Johnny, once Alyln heads off, Ill be going home, with my sister, thanks for a great night, and next time your in town, call ok"
She lets go and heads off to her soon to depart sister.
While they were at Dinner Alyln and Tybalt resolved that Tybs would come visit some time to see what she does and hang out and do cold people stuff. As they leave he gets a rose from an older woman with a basket full of them. Of course he over pays for it.
As he goes to hand it to her a blue hue fades over it. When he holds it up he taps the end of it with his other hand and it flash freezes magic coloring and all.
He holds it out to her. "Not quite as pretty as you." :)
"Oh she really does like ssooo pretty." She lands on the top of a mirror and looks Ignace over with her yukata on.Midori hadn't even noticed her fingers turning pink... it wasn't painful... but the rest of her was still rosey from the blush. Maybe that was why. "Ano... no, it's fine. It doesn't hurt Ignace-chan. THank you for worrying about me though."
She does take her hands away from Ignace though, and they go up into the yukata's sleeves.
"You look very pretty, Ignace-chan." Midori says, now that the yukata was mostly on.
Ignace finished adjusting the yukata so it was properly on and looked at her handiwork in the mirror turning this way and that to get a good view.
"Thank you," she said with a smile and a small blush at the compliments. "I think it turned out. It is a remarkably attractive dress. I am surprised at how feminine it looks in spite of not being at all frilly."
"Er, hello, Zix," she said, when introduced to the new teacher, embarrassed about the circumstances. She hadn't even realized that he was standing right there while they were talking. To cover up her social faux pas she tried to help with picking stuff up, but ended up knocking over a display and was busy with fixing it while Salis put away the books and spoke to Zix.
"But what of they don't like her." She says with soulful eyes and just a very small bit of bottom lip sticking out.
"That's just a risk we have to take, little one." Came Rena's soft, silky voice. Despite her huge size and apparent fangs which brings to mind all manner of violence, her words are soft and kind, her voice soothing.
"Your friend doesn't make you bad or wrong though, alright?" she adds, an afterthought.

"Thank you," she said with a smile and a small blush at the compliments. "I think it turned out. It is a remarkably attractive dress. I am surprised at how feminine it looks in spite of not being at all frilly."
"Hai, it looks very good, Ignace-chan. It suits you very much." Midori says, ignoring the stinging in her hands... maybe it was painful, and she just hadn't noticed right away. She had been burned before after all. She would put balm on them before she went to bed. She didn't want Ignace to think that Midori was scared to be around her - or that it caused her pain.
"We should go show Lang-kun and Hew-kun and Grim-kun! Ano... and Sorun-kun too, but he might be in the lake." Midori frowned at that. She wasn't a great swimmer. "Or... ano...?" she says again, hesitant about it all of a sudden.
Phaezeriel returns the hug enthusiastically, smiling the while. ::I am making progress, and with the agreement of our pain-eating fellow student, I am confident that with in a week we should be able to make an attempt at healing her. Teaching is, mmm, interesting. Particularly since I am not actually a teacher. Finding the balance between teaching authority and student status is a bit of a task. It is a good thing, between class curricula, creating psychic items, and actually teaching the novices, that I do not need sleep.::
"Lucky." Vai says pleasantly about the lack of need for sleep, patting the ground between her and her brother as she sits back down, indicating that she thought Phaeze should sit next to her. "I'm pretty sure James and Ephebe would like to not have to sleep, with how much they work. Of course, they're already reclusive enough, so maybe it's a good idea they have to leave their work for a bit sometimes." she says, teasing James while also keeping the conversation going.
"It sounds like things are going well for you, and I'm excited to help Chara be cured. She's so happy, she deserves to be able to be adventurous and happy. I don't think I've met the pain-eating student." Vai says somberly, beginning to play music again, an upbeat tempo, but not real melody beside. More lightly strumming and listening to the sounds than actually playing.
"But what of they don't like her." She says with soulful eyes and just a very small bit of bottom lip sticking out."That's just a risk we have to take, little one." Came Rena's soft, silky voice. Despite her huge size and apparent fangs which brings to mind all manner of violence, her words are soft and kind, her voice soothing.
"Your friend doesn't make you bad or wrong though, alright?" she adds, an afterthought.
Tryko'Sam stands firm and resolute with Rena, and near her side. Hell, he even puts a firm, warm, living hand on her back, if allowed, as a show of support and that she's not some icky monstrosity that needs to be destroyed.
"That's especially important to realize-- you are your own person, not bad, unless you choose to be bad. As for your parents, well, you could always wait a while? I mean-- if this is magic, can't you turn the spell off or something?" Go human brain, work that logic!
He sounds hopeful.
Rena doesn't shy away from the firm hand on her back, merely glances back at him to ensure it was, in fact, her friend that had put a hand on her. Once she's certain, she presses up against the touch, much like a cat pressing against a pleasantly placed hand. She doesn't say anything to him though, turning back to hear the child's response.
She didn't know enough about magic - that was Vare's specialty. She knew that it definitely was magic of some kind though.

Leaning in to whisper a bit, so Rena could hear him, Tryko'Sam asked and says very quietly, "Hey-- no offense to the 'date night' s@+%, but-- little girl, scared, needs magical help? Maybe we get the experts? I'm S.O.L. here myself."
He maintains his smile though after that whisper.
"Lucky." Vai says pleasantly about the lack of need for sleep, patting the ground between her and her brother as she sits back down, indicating that she thought Phaeze should sit next to her.

More lightly strumming and listening to the sounds than actually playing.
Phaezeriel squats on his haunches between the two, an accommodation Vai is familiar with due to the physical realities of his wings. ::Sometimes it would be nice to sleep. Not only do I not need sleep, I do not dream. The closest I get is deep meditation. It has its ups and downs. This new student, he has a very unique ability; he eats, and by eating, removes pain from others. And not just physical pain. Without touching me, he was able to take from me all the emotional pain that I feel when I allow myself to loose the memories of my first century and a half.::
He pauses and smiles as he listens to Vai's music, ::You are getting very good at that, Vai. I love listening to your playing.::
It had been years coming but at long last Mrs Clempp had retired, A meal with the ladys, hugs and good byes and she was off to teh cost and that condo in the sun.
Sleep came and the Old ned, it was time, he had worked to hard t Keep Sara safe, and now she truly was, her astrol form looked one last time at her grandchild, before heading off to the after life. She died at 2:35 AM
her body apering in the Medical wing, but when its your time nothing can be one.
Spugly shame was to great begging for food, he dropped the coin and tuning his back, headed back into the woods. He would find world and get food that ways. He would never beg again, de army would take him back.
Ruby looked into the card, Amber was in Danger, Demons deep along the black road where making a move. He had been called on for help.
He colled starlight 1st, she was in her room, he told her, he was going to see family, she liked that idea.
Then he know he would have to call in the owned task, from some one who could act as his and Stars body guard in the days to come, Rosa.
he appeared in the SIM room control center.
"Rosa, I need to ask for that help, you offered as payment, me and Star have to go some place of grate danger, in a place on even in this reality."
Rosa looked at him, a bit shocked but resigned.
"The Courts?"
Roby nodded
"Yes the courts of Chaos, and there I need you"
The door to rubys shop grow to accommodate Rosa's size.
Rosa said nothing she had done when he had helped to build the SIM ROOM one day she must pay him back. Taking you her Gun sword she entered his magic shop. Meeting Startlight in side.
Ruby looked around one, the door shrank down to his size, He went in closing it behind him and then it two was gone, not just from the wall but from the very fabric of this reality.
Johnny had said good bye to the three elf maids.
"Ok Ty that flight, right I need to test the ship and moment, I want to use Adons new Displacer-drive, the ships been upping the Fei Cell count to power it and I need a small test. Give me 5 ok."
Johnny called down his craft and entered it.
Powering up the systems he dialed in the location of the school for the quick test. The did the displace. Some thing went very wrong, light lots of light then a feeling of being pushed throw a wall. Johnny and his carft winked into being in open space.
"What the ...."
Most of the carfts systems where off line power was way down. Johnny looked for the problem. Most of the Fei cells where depleted, it looked like the schools wards had reacted to the craft coming in but why.. then Johnny remember, Fie systems where set off to bleed power into the School grid, as soon as the ship hit the wards it had done the same thing to the Fei cells in the carft, thinking it was under attack it had dos an emergency displace But with Adon's drive the Displacer system is linked to the Star Drive, OOOO **(&@@**@!!
Johnny brought up the nav systems
Where the smeg am I?
The systems kept coming up unknown.
"Ok ok Johnny thought worriedly "I have star maps for most of the galaxy and there coming up zich, for location right right, that means...
Johnny uped the scale, then again then again, finally he looked at the result as the Nav systems fiannly locked in s/he location.
"O F&**!!
Johnny was a long long long way from home, in fact s/he was half way across the optical universe, on a dead ship in open space. O ****! was the right way to put it.
Hust had packed his thing, the school was nice, but he wanted to see more of the world, he had some magic now, his books and data pad. The door closed behind him, and seen he was bobbing along into the night, now what would the world be like.
Alyln said good by to her sisters and Ty then headed back to the great white.
heads home with Aylyr
Heads to the hatchery

zix of course notices the book title, but not the subtitle as you were covering it :;ah a book on sutra magic, I had planned on teaching some of the magic of the offuda to my students, facinating magic, albiet not to terribly potent:: he holds up a book on sutra magic and you can immiedietly tell it has nothing to do with karma suttra
"Heh yah I have studied sutra magic. Not extensivly mind you, but a little. Magics fundumentals work alittle differntly here, than where I'm from.

Much of my knowledge of races is what is from my home and what I have read." He asks slightly quizically.
Zix's mental voice becomes slightly more excited sounding:: yes I do so enjoy learning new things as to how magic works,:: he pauses :: I am a spellweave, truly I would have been marginally surprised if you had met one of my race, we are not common::
Dave sorta waits for about seven miniutes, throughly underwhelmed "soooo what just happened... Is he in trouble or did he just ditch us....."
"I don't really know. . . . ."
::Johnny can you hear me? J? J? . . . .::
"I don't think he's coming back . . . ."
Confused by the giant's behavior (and persistent silence as he disappears back into the woods), Fei lets him go and proceeds to wander the grounds a bit himself.
His feet bring him to the blasted crater he made earlier in the day. Gripped in the rare circumspection reserved for those who have crossed death's threshold and somehow returned, the young monk descends into the bowl, slowly walking its circumference.
Fei walks in a tightening spiral, his steps slow and deliberate. He takes in every sight and sound, every scent and texture as he proceeds, stopping periodically to kneel down and run his hands through the ash still left there. Eventually he reaches the bottom, turning in place to take in the panorama of destruction he wrought in this peaceful place.
An uncharacteristically ragged sigh escapes the Champion's lips as he struggles to come to terms with what happened here.
"This cannot be the sum of my life," he quietly says to no one, picking up a handful of ash and letting it fall. "I...do not want to be just...this..."
Fei kneels down, head bowed in shame. It is a while before he moves again...
Dave goes hmmm "if my ship was working I'd suggest taking it after him, but it's not, so lets go to bed, get some rest and make that be our first priority after the expidition ends sound good?" He offers his hand if it is accepted he goes on to say " Skeets knows a power that can make it so you don't need as much sleep, I have a feeling we are going to need it, that and an iced moca espresso for each of us when we wake up"
Leaning in to whisper a bit, so Rena could hear him, Tryko'Sam asked and says very quietly, "Hey-- no offense to the 'date night' s@*~, but-- little girl, scared, needs magical help? Maybe we get the experts? I'm S.O.L. here myself."
He maintains his smile though after that whisper.
Rena nods in response to that and looks back at the children, her eyes as soft as her voice. "Why don't you three come with us, we'll go find my friend who is a wizard, and a teacher at the school. He'll know better what to do than either of us. How does that sound?"
Phaezeriel squats on his haunches between the two, an accommodation Vai is familiar with due to the physical realities of his wings. ::Sometimes it would be nice to sleep. Not only do I not need sleep, I do not dream. The closest I get is deep meditation. It has its ups and downs. This new student, he has a very unique ability; he eats, and by eating, removes pain from others. And not just physical pain. Without touching me, he was able to take from me all the emotional pain that I feel when I allow myself to loose the memories of my first century and a half.::
He pauses and smiles as he listens to Vai's music, ::You are getting very good at that, Vai. I love listening to your playing.::
Vai stops playing a moment and puts a gentle hand on Phaeze's back. He wasn't in pain right now, but she still felt she should offer some comfort. "Hey, you know you can come to us any time you need to share something, right? We're here for you."
"And dreams aren't always what they're cracked up to be." Vai says somewhat darkly as an afterthought.
"But that ability... we can help Chara then, without nearly as many people right? How many people do you think we'll need now?"
At Phaeze's comment about her music, Vai blushes slightly, but grins as well, allowing a small measure of pride. "I'm... in a band too. Maybe. If we can find people to fill some key roles. I really do love making music."
Walks into the hatchery, seeing alot of folks there he smiles
"Greetings, everyone. How is everyone?"
"Hey Krays!" Vai says from her seat on James' side of the room, sitting with the pair. "How are you?"
He heads for the door and raps on it smartly
The door opens after a moment and the green robed male, gestures for them to come in and sit.
"Hello. Karish already knows this, but I'm Headmaster Ryo. Welcome to Avalon Academy."
"I do well. You?"
melody finishes the work in her room concerning creating a "radio station" for the school
closing everything up
There now to set up a central broadcast area. guessing somewhere near that rehearsal room
she is about to head out but just as her hand touches the door. she stops.
realizing she is still alone. this room is safe, if I go out there; what if he is out there? Brave heart Mel...
she goes for the door again but again stops I can't. I wish Vai was here or Kai
she goes back to the bed and takes a seat just stareing at the door.
maybe Vai will be back soon. I'll wait. Please come back...
"I do well. You?"
"Today could've been better. Fei... we had an accident. He's... better now though." she says with something of a grimace. She obviously doesn't want to talk about it any further.
I also hit Morrivan way harder than I meant to. Vai thinks to herself, but doesn't say aloud.
She starts to play again, somewhat somber, but she smiles at her family and friend. Some things never changed - her family and friends always had the power to make her feel better, and the somber music slowly becomes happier, if peaceful.
Ignace finished adjusting the yukata so it was properly on and looked at her handiwork in the mirror turning this way and that to get a good view.
"Thank you," she said with a smile and a small blush at the compliments. "I think it turned out. It is a remarkably attractive dress. I am surprised at how feminine it looks in spite of not being at all frilly."
"Hai, it looks very good, Ignace-chan. It suits you very much." Midori says, ignoring the stinging in her hands... maybe it was painful, and she just hadn't noticed right away. She had been burned before after all. She would put balm on them before she went to bed. She didn't want Ignace to think that Midori was scared to be around her - or that it caused her pain.
"We should go show Lang-kun and Hew-kun and Grim-kun! Ano... and Sorun-kun too, but he might be in the lake." Midori frowned at that. She wasn't a great swimmer. "Or... ano...?" she says again, hesitant about it all of a sudden.
"We can show them when we have our tea party," she said thoughtfully. "That way Zilla can be wearing hers too. We can have the tea party on Sunday....should we invite the boys? Boys don't usually like things like tea parties, but maybe they would want to come? I'm not sure."
"We should probably change back into our normal clothes now," she said reluctantly. "Zilla, I can put the outfits you like into a tote bag for you to take if you want. That way you'll be prepared if you're stuck in a small size body for a while."
Jiminy smiled. "Hey, Krays. Yeah, we're just hanging out until Pheebs kicks us all out...well, except you," he said with a wink.
The girl takes the dog from her brother. She holds it in one hand and brushes her bangs in front of the mark with the other.
"OK. Micheal go back home. Tell mom I am staying with Sophie tonight." She moves to follow the two of them as her brother runs off.
