"Ohhh, a rainstorm would be much better I think." Rena says while looking curiously around the room, the sauce having mostly dried during their return to the school and then subsequently their journey to the SIM room. Rena appears to be studying the grey lines, poking and prodding the smooth surface with her tail. "Is there some kind of illusion magic in this room which could duplicate those things?"
"Vare usually helps me to get clean, so I've never really had a bath before... what do you suggest? I like the rain, it's usually not wet enough and runs off my feathers... it's just when I immerse myself that it's an unpleasant feeling." she asks, still studying the blank room intently.
"From what I can tell-- this is super technology at work, and perhaps, some magic. I'm not quite sure who or what, but some female body robot, Rosa, gave me full access to this room to personalize and make scenarios with, to store into the data banks for future use. Okay-- hang tight."
With that, Tryko'Sam says, "SIM Mind, Tryko'Sam accessing SIM Room personal, prepare for new parameters. Please scan and recognize secondary participant, keyname, Rena. Store Rena details for future participation."
There's a bit of a shift in the lighting, minute, but noticeable and then a disembodied voice says, "Greetings Tryko'Sam. Rena Ident and data collected and recorded for future participation. What will we be working on today?"
Grinning at Rena, Tryko'Sam then says, "We're looking for any prior thunderstorm, or heavy rain scenarios. Grid size, 3 dimensional, let's go with 500 meters in all directions, flat plains, no other life save flora, and ... well, temperate biome. Grass half meter height, various trees sparsely placed, objective is primarily to simulate thunderstorm setting and downpour of rain-- no hail, no lightning events, Rena here wants to take a natural shower. Please negate all interaction of events from my person, and let her rip. Let's have it build up slowly, and maintain rain for approximately 5 minutes, without flooding or other potential natural events. Store and execute, thank you."
The disembodied voice says, "Activating, Thunderstorm setting, 001-TS. Rena, please prepare for thunderstorm in ... 3... 2... 1..."
With that, the white and grid are gone-- grass, randomly half a meter in height grows up and out of the ground, the space spreads out a good 500 or more meters (it appears), and the sky blurs out as dark clouds roll in. Thunder can be heard, Tryko'Sam grins as the winds pick up a bit, not touching him, and Rena's subjected to ...well, a thunderstorm.
The rain falls quickly, cool and, obviously wet. He merely stands there and smiling adds, "If you wanted, we could just make a huge bath tub for you, but not sure you can swim with the wings-- I'm assuming you don't use those to fly with, huh?"
There are no other life forms, just the 'plants' and the two individuals in the room.
Melody drinks her hot coco and smiles apparently unsure what to say.
If you want...tell me about Nasima she was your roommate before me right? Unless you are tired and just want to sleep that's fine too.
Melody props up her pillows to sit more comfortable on her bed.
Thanks for letting me stay here after last night I feel safe with someone else in the room.
she looks at Nim and a little dragon as well, I wish I knew you were here earlier
Gareth panics as air is yanked from his lungs, and he falls back on the one thing he believes will help him. He reads.
He's not sure what he's reading, but it's there, and offers to help him. He turns a 'page'...
...and sucks in lungfuls of air as a bubble of oxygen surrounds his head.
"Space is awesome!"
Kezzin smiles at Adon, "I, too, hope that this is temporary. Would you like me to bring you more food?"
"What? How are you talking? There's no Wa... Ok, forget it. I don't want to know, probobly complicated."
vriskra shakes her head for a moment.
"I magically protect my rider from the harshness of space, but settro was startled too when he opened his mouth. You don't need to breathe while riding me."
vriskra eventually cycles back down into the stratosphere, rather entertained at the trip.
"So, how did you like it?"
"I'm alright for a little while... I think. Thank you for offering."
Rena watches curiously as the room melts away to be replaced by grass. She wonders for a moment what this would look like in the Dreamscape, if it was truly not magic and some form of technology. But then it starts raining and she forgets all that, pointing her nose skyward and sighing contentedly. "This is wonderful, thank you Tryko'Sam. Much better than a big bath tub. I /can/ swim... but I don't like how the water tugs on my feathers."
The sauce, however, proves to be a bit too sticky for the rain to wash off without aid, and so after a few minutes of basking in the rain, she grins, showing bit of teeth through the still-sauced mess of her facial feathers. She takes to rolling around in the tall grass, rubbing her snout primarily but also the rest of her body, on the flora. It does help the scrubbing process, while also looking like playful fun.
Eventually, she's clean and rights herself (though there are a few grass stains here and there now, but she doesn't seem to mind that). "That was fantastic!" she says, returning to her companion from her roll in the grass.
"And you're not wet at all, that's just perfect! Uh.. right?"
Melody drinks her hot coco and smiles apparently unsure what to say.

Nimceleb hops down off of Vai's arm and curls up in Melody's lap, seeming to fall asleep instantly... though it is likely not really asleep, given that it is a construct.
Vai on the other hand looks a little worried, sensing at least that Melody is not entirely at peace. "Is there something wrong Melody?"
"It was great! I can't wait until we do that again!"
"Don't worry about air, by the way. While riding me, there is no need to breathe. We can do this again tomarrow, if you like. I've missed how calm it is up there."
"I'd really like too. And air wasn't a problem."
"Sounds good."
she circles around for a long while, slowly descending, eventually touching down.

Vai on the other hand looks a little worried, sensing at least that Melody is not entirely at peace. "Is there something wrong Melody?"
ahhh...no...wait that's not true...yes but it isn't you...last night after I kissed Kai goodnight I went to my room and there was this unintended visitor and he left me something I felt threatened by him. violated in a way I was supposed to be safe here but still he got in.
Mel grabs her pillow clutching it for safety, before I arrived at school I ran into some thugs in Kuros that attacked me. those guys are dead now and that creep actually delivered their hearts carved right out of their chests into my room. telling me I need to be more careful.
her voice quivers a bit as she tells Vai what happened. Melody is trying to be brave in front of her friend. I just feel safer when others that I can trust are around. at least in my room. It seems outside in the gardens I am OK. guess that's because there are plenty of ways to get away and get help. but in here, when I'm alone, I feel trapped

"I guess we could was Miss Blackscales, but do you really want to ask a teacher. I think we should ask one upper gradesmen. I think the teachers would suger coat the awnser." Zilla confidently flipped her hair back. "Tomorrow we'll ask someone. Hows that sound?""Hai, okay. Maybe... ano... maybe not Raelle-senpai. Ano... Someone though, ne?" Midori smiles. "Thank you Zilla-chan. Oyasumi nasai!"
"Well good night Midori. I'll see you tomorrow." Slowly Zilla picks up her bag and flutters away toward her and Hew's room.
He unties himself from the saddle and slides off, wobbling a bit as he gets used to gravity and walking again.
"How's your Common going?"
"Oddly. When pepole hear me talk, some of them understand as if i spoke perfectly, while others are still lost... It seems tha those who have been or are afraid of me, im not sure witch, can understand me better. Oh, and Sarah understands me perfectly, buts heralds to animals, so i think that helps."
"That's good. Wanna lesson tommorrow? No classes during the weekend."
"Sound fun..."
*screech yawn*
"All that circling made me tired, usually i fly at a Larger Angle. Much quicker, and less exhausting. I'm off to sleep, see you tomorrow."
marcell walks into his and ardentie's room. He notices that he isn't there.
"Drat, i was going to try and speak to him today... And apologize for never really talking..."
he sighs, and climbs into bed, his side of the room adapting the temperature a little for him.
"Good night." He yawns too, and heads back to his own room to go to sleep.
Rena watches curiously as the room melts away to be replaced by grass. She wonders for a moment what this would look like in the Dreamscape, if it was truly not magic and some form of technology. But then it starts raining and she forgets all that, pointing her nose skyward and sighing contentedly. "This is wonderful, thank you Tryko'Sam. Much better than a big bath tub.

"And you're not wet at all, that's just perfect! Uh.. right?"
Tryko'Sam in fact, was not wet. He seemed to 'get' how to work the SIM room, and avoid all that, plus he told the SIM Mind as well.
Watching her frolic and all that, Tryko'Sam chuckles and then powers down the room, storing the program for later, thanking the SIM Mind as well, before motioning for the door.
"I guess unless you wanted to hang out some more, not that I'm suggesting you get all sauced up again, we'll have to do this some other time, if you're free. Did you consider joining up as a student here? I'm fairly sure, given what I've seen, it wouldn't be an issue in any way."
Chit chat aside, unless there's more interaction or what not, Tryko'Sam's not really the sit around and yap, sort of person. He's pretty 'go go go', though with calm streaks. Could say he's either impatient, or simply, not tired. Brain always on.
Thus-- they hang out, they part ways, he doesn't really share much of himself, and he really doesn't seem to ask any meaningful or deep questions, beyond the basics he'd asked previously.
Creative mind though, that would be noted.
"Okay." Kezzin tucks into his own meal again.
adon does the same, and can't really think of much to say. He considers going to bed, but he's far too hungry.
"Don't feel a need to keep me company through the night. I'm fine."
With a wry kind of smile, Kezzin finishes off his late night snack, "Well, as long as you are okay, I will bid you a good evening. I hope you feel better soon."
Kezzin returns his dirty dishes and heads to his room for the night, snagging a chicken leg/thigh on his way out, and nodding to Adon as he leaves the cafeteria.
"Good night High Seer, may you always find water, the wind always be at your back, and your feet always travel the best path" Its obvious the way he says this is meant as a blessing.
Ace then turns back to Fei. "Night as well Fei. I'd like to talk to you more about what took place today, but I am super tired. Hopefully tomorrow?"
After Fei responds, the young man makes his way inside and to bed.
[ahhh...no...wait that's not true...yes but it isn't you...last night after I kissed Kai goodnight I went to my room and there was this unintended visitor and he left me something I felt threatened by him. violated in a way I was supposed to be safe here but still he got in.

her voice quivers a bit as she tells Vai what happened. Melody is trying to be brave in front of her friend. I just feel safer when others that I can trust are around. at least in my room. It seems outside in the gardens I am OK. guess that's because there are plenty of ways to get away and get help. but in here, when I'm alone, I feel trapped
"Oh geez, Melody. That's no good." Vai says gently, not sounding overly worried, but instead comforting. "You should have said something earlier, I would've stay with you. Do you want to borrow Nimceleb? As long as he's with you, you'll be immune to magical detection. He's very friendly."
"That way you'll always have someone with you, right?" she says encouragingly.
Melody finds herself petting Nim as she listens to Vai.
I didn't want to take you from you family. anyway I made it ok. and now that I know about this little fella I'm sure all will be alright.
Mel looks at Nimceleb isn't that right?
Its getting late Vai, we should get some sleep. Thanks for listening and for shareing some coco with me
Mel lays down to sleep trying not to interupt Nimceleb too much.
"Alright, sleep is right. Take care of him, okay? He's very important to me." Vai says with a gentle smile, before getting up and pulling the privacy screen across so she could change into her jammies, before pulling the screen back over so that Mel could still see her in the room with her.
By the time Vai is done changing Mel is already asleep. Nim has found a comfy spot at Mel's feet
"I see. In any event, I'm glad my children have adapted to life at Avalon. Tyrrin especially sounds as though she has grown in more ways than merely intellectually."
"Thank you, both of you. I believe I should return to attending to my task here. It was pleasant speaking with the pair of you."
With that, the High Seer turns away, walking steadily back to her fellows, who are putting the finishing touches on their work for the evening.
Fei bows respectfully to the High Seer as she leaves. "May your evening be peaceful and your dawn bright, High Seer."
"Good night High Seer, may you always find water, the wind always be at your back, and your feet always travel the best path" Its obvious the way he says this is meant as a blessing.
Ace then turns back to Fei. "Night as well Fei. I'd like to talk to you more about what took place today, but I am super tired. Hopefully tomorrow?"
After Fei responds, the young man makes his way inside and to bed.
"It is possible that I will be helping here tomorrow as well" he replies as he looks around the encampment. "But I will do my best to answer what questions I can, given my limited...awareness of some of today's events" he adds with a self-deprecating smile.
"Take your rest, Casilkasheyith, and we may speak later. Dawn, greet you," he says with a final bow as his classmate makes his way to bed.
The young monk then returns to helping the firebirds for the remainder of the evening. When it gets close to time to meet Vai, he finally pauses in his work to return to his cot and change back into his evergreen uniform. His scrubs had served him well this night, but they greatly needed to be laundered...with urgency. ;D
At some point during the evening, the exhausted elven contingent is at last all gathered together, and the High Seer returns them all home with a powerful incantation.

Johnny hung in space far far away from the small school, the dragon empire, the galaxy, in fact the whole galactic super cluster in a dead ship getting colder and colder, with out power s/he would be dead in a matter of hours. Lost in space for all time, Johnny was not to worried about that, at the point of s/he death s/he lace would transmit s/he mind state to the Orbital "Best city is my city" and the 3 Minds that ran it. Quantum entanglement would see to that, distance was not relevant. That was not the point, the point was it would take Johnny two more years to get back to the school. Long trip from the culture area of space to the schools that is you have a Fei powered ship. But the bloody thing was dead, all Fei cells burned out in that epic jump across the cosmos. Johnny looked once more at the ships internals. Using what little power s/he own body had left. Then stopping spotting some thing.
Whats this, some cells just a few not as burned out as the others, come on
Johnny looked harder, yes 3 cells damaged but by rebuilding them into one Johnny could if s/he canablized some of s/he own body then if and it was a big IF the cell could be restarted it could be replicated. If that worked Johnny could get power and with power s/he could start to fix the ship.
Johnny started work on the only way out, but could it be done in time to stop the freezing .
A dead ship hung in space but things inside where changing
There was a bit of a nip in the air as the sun began to peek over the horizon. Fall was beginning to make its presence felt.
Jaiye stretched and reluctantly slid out of the nice warm bed, taking care not to wake Ehos when she did. She got dressed and padded down the corridor to Tyrrin's room to speak with her about the expedition since they were supposed to leave in a couple hours and knocked on the door.
Ignace yawned as she sipped at the cup of hot paraffin and nibbled on the burnt toast she was supposed to be eating for breakfast. She didn't usually get up quite this early. She was dressed surprisingly sensibly for her in jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt. Okay they were pink and had designs on them, but it was a big change for someone who usually wore frilly dresses all the time. She was trying to hide how nervous she was about the upcoming trip to the sun. She was afraid her parents might change their minds about letting her go if they knew she was scared.

A shadowed form slipped out of the lake and hastily snuck back into the school before anyone could see her. It was complicated further by there being a student living in the lake, but it was still easier to make a portal there than in the swimming pool. And now she had time before she had to make another visit to that place.
It had taken all night, but they had finally worked their way through all of the records. The pile of records of firebirds who were still alive was quite a bit taller now as it was also full of notes on where to find them.
"Alright, children, we've been at this all night with only a couple of breaks, but we're finally done. I am going to take a nap now. I would suggest you two do the same before you start tracking those people down."
Lang is awake as the sun is just startuing to peek over the horizon.
He quickly wakes Grim and Sun.
Grim we need to get ready to go shakeing him awake excited about the trip.
Sun, We ar going to the Firebird home today, we need to do our morning meditations early
Once all are awake Lang heads out to the willow tree to begin his morning meditations.
Sun staying to make sure Grim will soon join lang then heads out with Grim.
Throughout the night, in what short rest the pair got before the knock at the door, Ghalen's dreams are troubled. There is a myriad of different scenes and characters, but the one thing present through all of them is the feeling of Tyrrin's presence, and a vague sense of danger. Ghalen can remember no details except for those ever-present feelings when he awakens.
At the sound of the knock, and then Ghalen's voice, the girl whose bed he is sharing stirs, but doesn't open her eyes or give any other indication that either was heard.
When whispering doesn't work, he nibbles on her ear.
Grim wakes up when Lang first touches him and he grabs the other boy's arm. He relaxes when he sees who it is, and smiles "yeah just give me ten miniutes" he goes to his closet and takes an expensive and durable looking black lether jacket a pair of heavy, dark red combat boots, and black fingerless gloves with that metal plate for punching stuff better and a light metal mesh over his chest with a black shirt over it with a flaming skull on the front all in all he thinks he looks bada$$ he places these clothes on a table and takes a quick, scalding shower then puts the clothes on, packs a back pack, puts inside 5 liquid ice's and a first aid kit, some fireproofed rope, and some material components and some climbing gear, then flys over to where he and Lang meditate and joins him there for his own meditations.
Elven ears, being particularily sensitive, are the perfect target for such a maneuver, and Ghalen's nibbles certain do the job where his voice failed. Tyrrin rolls towards him and kisses him, opening her eyes a little blearily. "Again?" she asks a little sleepily.
marcell stirs in bed, eventually waking up. He tries to get up, but finds it very difficult. He looks down and notices that she has a fish tail.
"What. the. ."
Ehos awakens to the sound of the door quietly shutting. It was more the fact that his arms were empty that actually caused him to sit up.
Well.. as long as he was awake, and there was no Jaiye here.... he may as well try to get some things done.
First, he gets dressed, then heads out, in search of Oneiro. He wouldn't be asleep anyway.
He chuckles
"No, dearest, there is someone at the door..."
The alarm clock plays a happy tune as the sun peaks through the window of his room into his eyes. Its a kabillion miles away and it still had perfect aim. "Ow." He cocks his fingers like a gun and shoots a protective penumbra onto the window.
With that shade down he gets up and stretches out his sleek wiry body with only the short layer of fur covering him over. Stretching is important. It keeps one limber and flexible.
With stretches done he picks two pieces of jewelry out of the forest of hooks and bowls that hold it over night.
One black and purple ring made of hematite and amethyst. One necklace of white beads ending in a snowflake medallion of blue metal.
With the ring suspended from a string it hangs and spins until it locates magnetic north of the planet. He mumbles a prayer. "Lady Desna, please guide Johnny back here and keep him safe on his travels back to us. Grant him guidance to find his way back home to us. Also grant us guidance on our journey today and tomorrow through the mountain. Amen."
The snowflake hangs from its string and spins continuously. Another prayer. "Lady Winter please quell the tempests of the mountain as we go on our journey. Also keep Alyln and her friends safe at The Great White as they do their work their. Amen."
With those two pieces on he sits at the work bench and finishes out the coats and a couple other projects he will need for the trip. He doesn't bother putting clothes on while he works.
