Clones
While Ryuzo is talking to Midori, the both look at each other, then shrug, and look back to see if Ryuzo is watching. Then...
"You weren't a mermaid this morning? What were you before?" they intone, each saying half of the phrases.
"Gods, if I had known what I had been missing out on all these years... though I doubt they would have Ghalen's skills." Tyrrin says unabashedly. She never was one to be shy, and apparently this is no different.
She looks back and forth between her lover and her best friend, pacing for a few moments as she does when she is thoughtful. "I'm sorry Jaiye, but strategically, I think Ghalen is the better choice. I imagine you and Jeran have similar skillsets, so it may not be an efficient use of resources to bring both of you." she says, conciliatory in manner. "I'm sorry for forcing this on you and then yanking it away again. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, Jaiye, please let me know."
"I was a human, until i woke up today. A guy, at that."
she wears a loose fitting t-shirt obvoiusly not made for her. Her hair is not too long and rather shaggy, a rather dark brown. She is rather thinly built, as is normal for a mermaid.
"No worries, little one." He says with a smile.
"We aren't among our clans. I will not take offense if you don't bow to me. And call me Ryuzo, please."
Midori straightens herself, wondering how she hadn't noticed his insignia yesterday in the library. Another shinobi here, it was strange. She continues to speak in the language of their homeland "...Hai, Ryuzo-sama. Watashi wa Midori Tsuyomi gozaimasu, demo Midori-san o yonde kudasai. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu."*
Yes, Ryuzo-sama. I am Midori Tsuyomi, but please call me Midori-san. Pleased to meet you.
Despite Ryuzo's reassurances, her manner is still mostly formal, as well as her speech, though she isn't bowing anymore.
Midori thinks for a moment and then asks. "Ano... Ryzuo-sama wa sensei gozaimasu ka?"
Are you a teacher?
"No, that's okay, I'll go take a nap after I get these organized. Let's meet in the cafeteria for lunch and go over the plan then. With sleep and food we should be able to hit the air current with wings spread and really maximize our efforts."
"Alright. I'll see you there is a few hours then." Ardiente walks up and out of Ryleh's lair and places a hand on the wall, asking to be directed to the kiln. Once he arrives there, he sets it to maximum setting and goes inside to rest.
"Gods, if I had known what I had been missing out on all these years... though I doubt they would have Ghalen's skills." Tyrrin says unabashedly. She never was one to be shy, and apparently this is no different.
She looks back and forth between her lover and her best friend, pacing for a few moments as she does when she is thoughtful. "I'm sorry Jaiye, but strategically, I think Ghalen is the better choice. I imagine you and Jeran have similar skillsets, so it may not be an efficient use of resources to bring both of you." she says, conciliatory in manner. "I'm sorry for forcing this on you and then yanking it away again. If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, Jaiye, please let me know."
Jaiye shook her head, laughing. "Tyrrin, you have nothing to apologize for. It's a solid tactical assessment and I agree with your reasoning. Just be careful."
"I'm counting on you to make sure she gets back safe, Ghalen...I'm pretty sure I don't need to even tell you that,' she added with a friendly smile.
"Oh, and Tyrrin, I am totally taking this rare opportunity to say I told you so," she added, teasing again.
"No, I am a chaperone of sorts for some of the students in Blackscales-sensei's school. I keep an eye on some of them, keep them out of trouble. I also assist Zamarosk-sensei when needed."
Dave serves himself a very large serving of high protein , high carb foods, and once Skeets gets there with his bag he begins adding some dried food and a few waterskins to the bag
"Besides Jaiye, there's another person to consider. It's your sister's decision at that point between the three. If she can show up at the teleporting room before we go, I'll ask Tyrrin to consider her. I'm sending the departure time out in a few minutes."
'Thanks Oneiro, I appreciate it.' Ehos says, waving goodbye to the insomniac and trotting away, with a hand on the wall, asking the arrows to take him to Anahita. He hoped she'd be awake at this early hour.
"I'm sure she is more than capable. However, should she need it, I will be there to protect her."
Jaiye shook her head, laughing. "Tyrrin, you have nothing to apologize for. It's a solid tactical assessment and I agree with your reasoning. Just be careful."
"I'm counting on you to make sure she gets back safe, Ghalen...I'm pretty sure I don't need to even tell you that,' she added with a friendly smile.
"Oh, and Tyrrin, I am totally taking this rare opportunity to say I told you so," she added, teasing again.
"And this is why I need you as an advisor." Tyrrin teased back just as easily, smiling broadly. "Why don't we all get some food, and perhaps even some caffeine. And then I will work on getting us some supplies for the trip. Hm. I wonder if the school has a Bag of Holding we could use.. I would be slightly put out if we had to carry it all on our backs." Tyrrin says matter-of-factly, but then shrugs. She steps towards Ghalen and lightly kisses him on the lips, before saying a bit more quietly. "Thank you for the fantastic evening, and night." she says, as if the two had been seperate experiences.
His room was a mess he noted as he glanced around. All over the room had been stuff knocked from it's place. If he hadn't had memories of what happened he would have thought a twister think it.
After looking at the room he looked to his love laying beside him. A wave of emotion surged through him, forcing a smile to form. Slowly he kissed her forehead, not hard enough to wake her. He gently got you of bed and cast a spell to help start the clean up. He slipped on some shorts as he finished the rest of the clean up.
They both move over to a table. "Hey, you make you look and feel different. And you can make magic stuff. Could you make me something to look how old I'm supposed to be? Which I'm not exactly sure how old that is. I have an idea how to figure out though." He sets his things down on the table.
(Not at a table, yet at least.)
Tyrrin says matter-of-factly, but then shrugs. She steps towards Ghalen and lightly kisses him on the lips, before saying a bit more quietly. "Thank you for the fantastic evening, and night." she says, as if the two had been seperate experiences.
He holds her for a sec before quietly replying "Thank you as well. You deserve no less, My Lady." He kisses her lightly again before letting her go.
"I need to stop by my room, before breakfast. Shall I meet you all in the cafeteria?"
Hew and Zilla both make there way to the cafeteria. Zilla dashes around full of energy. She looks down each hallway they pass wanting to see her besties. "You'll she Ignace before she leaves I'm sure." Hew tells her.
Vai gets up at her usual time, finally back into routine after a strange past couple nights - first sleeping on Belsayv, and then in Raelle's room. She gets up and changes into her school uniform - even if it was the weekend, and heads down onto their usually meeting place in the pre-dawn light.
"Good morning, meldanya." she says demurely from behind him, not wanting to interrupt his stretching routine. "Did you ahve a good rest last night?"
Fei is currently on the ground, his legs split out to the sides and his torso and arms laid forward and flat. Just looking at it is somewhat painful, but he makes no sound of discomfort as she greets him.
"Good morning, Vai," he replies with a smile in his voice that she can hear even if she cannot see. He brings his arms back to his waist, splaying his hands on the ground as he lifts himself off of the ground. He swings his legs around to his front and his torso rises, all in one smooth, sinuous motion. His legs now back under him in a proper way, he stands and turns around to face her.
"I cannot say it was restful, but is was a good night just the same," he replies as he takes the uncharacteristically huge risk of hugging her for a moment.
"And it is a very good morning, meldanya." (^-^)
"I'd take a day or two and we're busy right now so it's have to wait, but yeah, I could do something like that... You don't know how old you are?"
Salis woke up confused was first. He wasn't his room and it only dawned on him that he and Ori had fallen a sleep in her love seat. Slowly he tried to lift her up to place in her bed.
"Thats fine. Its not like its a crucial thing at all.
I have an idea but I don't really-really know for sure. I've been away from home for a real long time and a lot of it was spent in space sleep. Combine that with the slow aging from being solid ice since I was ten and I really don't have much to go on. I'm gonna go to the library before we leave and see if I can find the most current Alocatran almanac. That'll tell me what year it is there and how long I've been away. I don't know how old I am but I know it's older than this." He gestures to all of his 4'2-ness. He looks about the age of a sixth grader if you know anything about catfolk anatomy.
kid-settro goes inside, and touches the wall, following to Dave, after putting up the illusion to hide his demonic features. (No true seeing, Dave, if you forgot.) settro clears his throat loudly behind Dave.
"It would seem that you neglected to tell me something, Dave."
the kid bobs back and forth on his feet.
A paper quil writes the message over and over. Then the paper folds into birds and fly off, going to the people going on the expedition.
"Teleportation room. Hour an a half good?" ~O.M.
"Hmm I'm 30 and you don't look all that much younger tha- oh right er, catfolk age faster than humans right" he's trying very hard not to be insensitive, and failing horribly "oh er um 13, um no you said you were slowed down ageing by the ice, um 15.. 17? You know I'm just going to stop guessing... I need coffee,"
*sniff* "hi Settro." The catfolk says happily. His tail flicks back and forth as he tracks a paper bird moving across the room with his eyes. They flash with the magic of analyze dewomer.
"I'm gonna get it." He mumbles to himself. he appears in front of the bird and gently catches itbetween his paws. "Gotcha!" He appears back down at the table with it. "Oni sent us a bird." He says after setting it on the table.
"Um forgot? The trip, um sorry? I don't have the blood ready anyway so it's kinda moot, and didn't you tell Skeets that you were suprised we got this much done? "
Tyrrin says matter-of-factly, but then shrugs. She steps towards Ghalen and lightly kisses him on the lips, before saying a bit more quietly. "Thank you for the fantastic evening, and night." she says, as if the two had been seperate experiences.He holds her for a sec before quietly replying "Thank you as well. You deserve no less, My Lady." He kisses her lightly again before letting her go.
"I need to stop by my room, before breakfast. Shall I meet you all in the cafeteria?"
Jaiye shrugged. "Works for me."
Does a double take as Tyrrin moves towards Ghalen and her sleeves slide up her arms.
"Tyrrin....I can't believe I even have to ask this of you, but please tell me you didn't forget to use protection," she said, alarmed when she didn't see any sign of an anti-fertility charm on Tyrrin's wrists or ankles.
>> hmm. He can identify me by smell? I need a burning... But they don't do that here... They... I think it was... Shower? I'll try that later, i feel dirty anyway.<<
"No. Not the blood. You are part linnorm This much i knew. But part ice linnorm? When did you get the idea for trying to get fire healing, and how did you think putting two polar opposites in the same mix is a good idea? This will cause the mixture to be unstable, and even with the exact same mix, may do different things to you. Honestly, because of your ice heritage, this is so much more risky it's not even funny. When someone is trying to help you, make sure you tell them as much as you can, please? I understand if you want to back out, but this stuff takes time to make. Fortunately, it's still a raw ichor, so i can use it on another should you want to back out, but honestly? I expected more from someone so smart."
this little kid speaks in a scolding tone, rather upset. It draws many eyes to the person being scolded by a 6-year old.
"I'm also part peri angle, I'm already two opposites mashed together and I ended up more than fine, and I'm a pyrokenetist, fire bends to my will, to me fire and ice are the same, to sides of one force"
"You cold make it ice healing. Maybe i could help. . . ." He says shyly. Even as a kid Settro was just a little scary when he was angry. He eats some as he pokes at the bird that unfolds onto the table.
Ghalen blinks at that question.
"I...it did not occur to me to plan for such."
He remembers his dreams, and a look of concern appears.
He turns to tybalt "Ty the process needs to be able to copy the ability of an already existing creature, so far as I know nothing heals from ice like a firebird heals from fire, and if there are such creatures, they probably aren't easy to access here, and even if I could get access to them we'd run into the same "problem" from my mother's side of the family"
Tami didn't even stir while Dom cleaned up the room. She was out cold after the exertions of the night before. Dom is starting to pick up on the idea that she's not a morning person.
Salis woke up confused was first. He wasn't his room and it only dawned on him that he and Ori had fallen a sleep in her love seat. Slowly he tried to lift her up to place in her bed.
Ori woke up as Salis picked her up. "Salis?" she asked, sleepy, not quite surf where she was for a moment.
"I was a human, until i woke up today. A guy, at that."
she wears a loose fitting t-shirt obvoiusly not made for her. Her hair is not too long and rather shaggy, a rather dark brown. She is rather thinly built, as is normal for a mermaid.
As Tybalt and the others approach, the clones stop talking, bow, and return to Ryuzo.
he closes his eyes and concentrates for a moment.
"Ok. One-
Peri blood is almost nothing.
Two- pyrokinetisit is a reinforcement to the body through external power created by the obsession of fire a psion has. This is more like a coating then part of you, and has no real effect on fleshwarping."
kid-settro is quite agitated.
marcell manages to akwardly sit, and contemplates asking something.

Ghalen blinks at that question.
"I...it did not occur to me to plan for such."
He remembers his dreams, and a look of concern appears.
*facepalm*
"Okay...we're gonna take a bit of a detour to the infirmary before heading to breakfast and make sure you stop at the infirmary and get an anti-fertility charm at your earliest opportunity as well. Nothing wrong with enjoying each other, but I'm pretty sure you guys aren't ready to be parents yet."
"I am one quarter holy angle of fire, how is that almost nothing " Dave is now also somewhat agitated he looks at marcelle, not quite recognizing him/her at first then looks again "marcelle?" He looks somewhat suprised
"Heh. Almost nothing because the fire aspect is far lesser to the Devine aspect. If you want to continue, that's fine. You have as long as you need to think."
settro walks off.
dc with the penalty from no components is 45. The dc is impossible if you don't have arcane sight or detect magic on.
"Yes?"
he pauses a moment.
"Yeah, weird, hunh. Woke up like this."
"Oh." He looks down at the table. He traces an arcane mark on the paper with his finger. 'Sure'
He folds the bird back into the pattern he'd seen and sends it on its way. He continues eating. This was a smart people conversation. He has a large stack of fluffy waffles.
"It is you isn't it? Why are you a fishy? *sniff* and a girl?" He cocks his head to one side when he wonders about this as he usually does. Adorable.
"Oh, Dave, the bird note said we have an hour and a half to be there."
Kezzin watches the two figures far below and their strange morning ritual. They act very familiar with each other, and Kezzin would think they are bonded in the way of the human races, but they are also acting so timid and uncertain with each other. I will never, for the life of me, understand the soft races.
"Not sure, i just woke up like this."
she seems to have a problem balancing, and almost falls over twice. Chairs are not designed with fish tails in mind.
Tami didn't even stir while Dom cleaned up the room. She was out cold after the exertions of the night before. Dom is starting to pick up on the idea that she's not a morning person.
He smiled at her as he wrote her a note telling her he has went to eat. After glancing at the shirt he had ripped off her last night he added that she should make herself at home. Placing the note on top of her cloths a slips out quietly and makes his way to Melodies room.
Dave humms "I'd almost say someone cursed you into this, but first off its unlikely that anyone would be both good enough and want to mess with you enough to do this to you, and secondly your true form has changed too, which makes standard polymorph spells all but imposible, though does not rule out curses per say, just makes them unlikely, and when you are dealing with events this unlikely you also have to entertain the possibility that you met and or ticked off a drunk or amorous deity, no, more likely this your blood awakening in some way or another, though hmm... The tattoo is it still on your back?"
"How should I know? I can't see back there."
she slides down, and goes over to Dave, and lifts up her shirt, unknowingly (or uncaringly) giving those in front of her quite a show- she doesn't own a bra, why would she?
