"And you are going to rest today too." Vai says a little dangerously, though the worry is clear in her eyes. "Geez, up all night after what happened yesterday Fei. You make me worry sometimes."
Though, once that is said, Vai doesn't seem to be angry at Fei, or anything like. Just worried.
"You told me several people came together to help bring me back (whom I still need to learn the names of so I can thank)- I can do no less when others need help. The firebirds need our help, and that is Lathander's way," he answers simply.
"It...also appears that Sifu Daiyu's meditation techniques have had other...benefits. I have not slept or consumed anything all week, nor have I felt any need to do so as I used to. It should be nothing to worry about," he adds quickly, seeing the look of concern on her face, "many monks learn to shed the needs of the physical in their search for enlightenment."
She kisses him lightly on the cheek before he goes to his routine. The thing which had caused her to shake the first time she had done it, on this exact spot. It wasn't nearly as scary now.
She does to sit on the grass in her usual spot, closing her eyes and attempting to meditate as much as possible. Clear her mind, and think of nothing. Do not even think about not thinking. Sifu Daiyu was very confusing at time.
Fei smiles warmly when Vai kisses him, then stops his 'chattering' so that she can work on her meditation (and he can actually perform his own as well). (^-^)
Vai doesn't try to argue. She knew when Fei was being stubborn, the best thing she could do was make sure he didn't overdo it. She would give him the list of his benefactors that she could remember when they were finished for the morning. She settles in, waiting for the rhythmic sounds of Fei's katas, her eyes closed. When he begins, she tries to focus on the thought of nothing, once again.
Remarkably, Vai is able to clear her mind very well. Likely it is the ever-calming presence of Fei, and the rhythmic motions she had become so used to which helped her focus.
So focused is she, that she doesn't appear to notice when Fei completes his ritual, though there is a look of serenity on her face when he turns to her.
As Lang and Sara Sit, Lang's hand on Sara's forehead The familiar sensations washes over Lang and Sara feels it now.
Sara this is the Spirit world. the realm where Nature spirits reside.
lang points out the connections between our world and nature. showing how we are all a prt of one bigger world.
Lang is surprised at the connection between Sara and all the animals. but it is understandable considering her abilities.
Lang is only slightly more experienced than Sara but He tries to sound like he is the expert if for anything but to help Sara feel better.
Sara listens to how Lang describes the setting and what things are and why they happen. She looks at the chords connecting her with the animals. She takes one of the strings in hand and plucks it like a guitar. "Hm." She releases the string. "Should we ask the animals if they have seen her here? Maybe they can help us find her."
Sure that might work. you should ask becuase the animals have a strong bond with you. but I will be right beside you. I should warn you though sometimes the animal spirits are not as friendly as the animals themselves.
Grim waves his hand in front of Lang's face and then does the same for Sara then shrugs and makes his way to the infirmary as fast as he can so that going on the expidition will still be possible
Where Grim goes into the infirmary her body has been cleared away for burial. There is a thin trail of light beginning at one of the beds and leading out the door.
-------
Sara looks around at the animals. She walks over to some kind of small mammal. "Can you help me? I'm looking for my grandma. She looks like *insert description here*. Have you seen her?" The animal looks at her and tilts its head to one side. It stays there for a moment and then suddenly it takes off! She follows in hot pursuit. "He is going to lead us. Come on!"
Lang follows Sara trying to keep an eye out for malevolent spirits as he goes.
Meanwhile, Midori is back at the practice range this morning, having already eaten breakfast. She had woken up early, despite the weekend. Everyone was so good at using the shuriken that Midori had to get better herself, if she was going to be worthy of fighting alongside her friends.
The kunoichi however doesn't like just having a straight shooting range, and the school has adapted to have targets higher, lower, smaller and even some that require her to curve the shuriken with the wire that she has in her pouch.
She's working up quite a sweat as she does, practicing her acrobatics by jumping and flipping around the range, pushing herself hard.
Vare had fallen asleep out in the woods after some time, leaning up against a tree. He awakens with a bit of a sore back from where he had slept. It wasn't the worst bed he'd ever had... but Anahita had not returned. He sighs, and stands... and then can feel Rena's fear and worry. He jumps up, looking around, and unless he spots something extraordinary, steps towards the school with the renewed magical energy, reaching the edge of the forest in a few steps, and then the school in a few more.
Repp notices Adon seated at the cafeteria, eating more than should be possible, but he still smiles and waves in return to Adon's own smile. Once the gnome has a plate of food, he wanders over to Adon, and the drow that was now seated with him.
"Good morning, friend Adon." he says pleasantly. "You've got quite the appetite. What plans for the day?"
As always, Repp seems to instinctively sense the social situation and his body language and tones are nearly perfect - putting people at their ease, despite the fact that his words are sometimes a bit odd or straightforward.
Power, it was there, not much but systems where coming back, Johnny powered up the nervous system the core of any kind of Bio-craft it screamed hit S/he, Hurt hurt bad real bad. Johnny looked over what was coming back, Power meant, energy and energy meant matter conversion. Johnny started sending out s/he agents. small copy's of the s/heself [leadership] to find areas off damage and start work repairing [mend] and army of 100s now pulled power from the crafts grid and worked at cell level rebuilding the craft. Mean wile johnny worked to protecting there lost home from the harsh void outside. Johnny did not like doing this but it was a necessity, taking the sample cells from Ty and Dave, johnny replicated some of there more useful elements and spliced them into the crafts outer skin. The cold of space stopped bleeding out the heat of the craft, Thank you Ty The outer shin chanced and become Crystal and goldThank you Dave[i] now hard shielded, that would hold interstellar space until there was power for true force fields, the only real thing that helps in space. The craft was now no long screaming pain, but more murmuring it. Johnny fire up the nav system true, scanning for the area of space s/he had come from. Not easy, at this speed it would take years, it was hopeless. Johnny forgot that, no point worrying wile the ship was skill very much dead in space. Flicking to the propulsion system, Johnny could see the Fei cell count now up in the 100s. [i]Good that will be needed for any kind of trip back but &**& how? Then Johnny remembered Tys blinking and the deviation. Ok best way out of a maze is the way in, if I can find some kind of trail, a path that got me here, and follow that" Johnny flipped all of s/he lace's power to working on that. Hyper space, that was the key, smaller less to space to track. Johnny shift power the the now remade shield centers and powered them up slow. An affecter bubble formed around the craft. Ok not much but if we stay still Johnny then sent out a sub-space hook, tugging on the fabric of space time, the craft did not like it, all to soon, but johnny needed to know if it would work. on the 8th try it hooked to H-Space. Johnny and the craft where linked. Best way now as to do this on min power, closing everything off and hoping Ty and Dave's added cells would do the trick, Johnny Fazed out of Real space to hyper space.
"I don't have much planned for today, other then finding a way to stop eating."
"I don't have much planned for today, other then finding a way to stop eating."
"Indeed? Are you under some kind of compulsion?" Repp asks curiously as he sits and begins to eat his rather reserved meal. "I'm sure the High Seer could assist with that if you were."
"No, I'm just burning Redicoulus amounts of energy."
"What are you doing that is causing such a ridiculous burn of energy? Some ability or power?" Repp continues to be curious, looking at Adon's body language, trying to read his mood.
Ace wakes an hour before sunrise, stretches for several minutes and then begins going through his various forms, switching focus as he does so.
When he's finally completed all his forms, its about an hour an half past sunup. He showers quickly, then reconfigures his a side of his room into a fully equipped kitchen and begins making breakfast for him and Ginni.
Once he finishes cooking, he grabs a waiter cart and makes his way to his girlfriend's room, and knocks on the door "Room service"
Ginni opens the door wearing workout wear and a bit sweaty. She was obviously in the middle of her morning exercise.
"Good morning," she said cheerfully. "Ooh, you brought breakfast!"
Ace smiles at his lovely girlfriend "Correction, I made breakfast." She notes now that he's dressed like a stereotypical waiter, in a nice suit and even a little waiter hat perched between his horns.
He pushes the cart into her room and lifts the top off of the first serving tray "Pancakes or french toast, as I am unsure which you prefer."
He lifts the next one, under which lies bacon, sausage and hash browns. There's also a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice and one of coffee.
"I hope mi lady finds all to be to her liking" He says with a bow.
"Alright, let us stop by the infirmary and acquire one of those charms, Jaiye."
Once they got to the infirmary, Jaiye went straight to the counter where the birth control charms were handed out.
"Oh, good morning, Jaiye....don't tell me you already need a new one," the nurse said joking.
"Not this time, Sando. This is for my friend....umm," she leaned in close. "She and her boyfriend got a bit swept up in the moment last night so can we please be discreet with the divination?"
"Ah," the Vanara said with a knowing nod. "I get it....Come over to the counter miss," he said, motioning Tyrrin over.
She looked confused. "I'm not sure I even know what you just said.....was that a pun?" She yawned. "Well, I suppose everyone has flaws....use of puns definitely counts," she said with a teasing smile.
He was slightly embarress by his tongue getting twisted. "Sorry a slip of the tongue."
"That's alright," she said with a shy smile. "I do that all the time. I swear I end up putting my foot in my mouth every other time I speak."
Meanwhile, Midori is back at the practice range this morning, having already eaten breakfast. She had woken up early, despite the weekend. Everyone was so good at using the shuriken that Midori had to get better herself, if she was going to be worthy of fighting alongside her friends.
The kunoichi however doesn't like just having a straight shooting range, and the school has adapted to have targets higher, lower, smaller and even some that require her to curve the shuriken with the wire that she has in her pouch.
She's working up quite a sweat as she does, practicing her acrobatics by jumping and flipping around the range, pushing herself hard.
Three shuriken fly past Midori and thunk solidly into the target.
*MEEP*
"Good morning, Mi-chan! I hope I'm not interrupting. I was hoping to talk with you."
Ace smiles at his lovely girlfriend "Correction, I made breakfast." She notes now that he's dressed like a stereotypical waiter, in a nice suit and even a little waiter hat perched between his horns.
He pushes the cart into her room and lifts the top off of the first serving tray "Pancakes or french toast, as I am unsure which you prefer."
He lifts the next one, under which lies bacon, sausage and hash browns. There's also a pitcher of freshly squeezed orange juice and one of coffee.
"I hope mi lady finds all to be to her liking" He says with a bow.
"You keep spoiling me like this and I'll have to double my daily exercise time," she joked.
Ignace ran into Hew and Zilla in the hall.
"Good morning, Hew. Good morning, Zilla. Have either of you seen Lang? We're supposed to be leaving now. Mom and Dad sent me to look for him."
"Oh, I'm sure there's other, more fun ways you can work off what you eat" He says, with a playful smile.
As they sit down to eat, he asks "Got any plans for the day? I have a few, but nothing major or important. Main thing I'd like to do is spend some time with Kitty and the rescue pup."
Treisdan's tall thin form, easily moves through the line and gathers his very meaty platter of food and goes to sit at a table with the most familiar people.
Sorun rolls off of the pallet that he sleeps upon in his underwater cave, yawning and stretching before moving swiftly up into the lake.
as he rises out of the lake water flows down his scaled body and out of his silvery blue hair.
Having slept not at all, Renkai is perched upon the rafters of the main hallway resting lightly, like a cat sunning itself and relaxing
Seeing Fei's workout drawing to a close, Kezzin leans forward just a bit. Hoping that Fei and Vai will conveniently head inside, he prepares to drop off the building.
"Oh, I'm sure there's other, more fun ways you can work off what you eat" He says, with a playful smile.
As they sit down to eat, he asks "Got any plans for the day? I have a few, but nothing major or important. Main thing I'd like to do is spend some time with Kitty and the rescue pup."
"I think we're going to have a girls night tonight, so I won't be available to hang out this evening. No real plans before that though." She shrugged. "It's okay if we don't spend all our time together. Makes the time we do get more special, right?"
adon seems to have shut down emotionally.
"Anti-magic production, in response to it almost disappearing, is now at such a rate... That i have to eat constantly."
Ace chuckles "Who said I wanted to spend all my time with you?" Sticks out his tongue, obviously joking.
"Girls night? I hope you invite Raelle, think she could use all the friends she can get. I feel so horrible about what happened, wish I could help"
Ace chuckles "Who said I wanted to spend all my time with you?" Sticks out his tongue, obviously joking.
"Girls night? I hope you invite Raelle, think she could use all the friends she can get. I feel so horrible about what happened, wish I could help"
"Raelle is the reason we wanted to have girls night in the first place. She could definitely use a distraction. Though I need to track down Vai and Melody today to make sure they know they're invited too."
"Ah," the Vanara said with a knowing nod. "I get it....Come over to the counter miss," he said, motioning Tyrrin over.
Tyrrin walks over, head help up high but clearly a little uncomfortable. This was, after all, not her usual modus operandi. "Hello." She says quietly, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
Three shuriken fly past Midori and thunk solidly into the target.
*MEEP*
"Good morning, Mi-chan! I hope I'm not interrupting. I was hoping to talk with you."
Midori knew instantly that the shuriken weren't meant as an attack, especially with the precision with which they struck the targets. That didn't stop her defensive instincts from kicking in, spinning around with weapons drawn, but then hearing the voice of Saffire and seeing Tanaka-senpai calms her down instantly.
"Tanaka-senpai!" she says, a little breathlessly. "Ohaiyou!"
"You aren't interrupting Tanaka-senpai. What would you like to talk about?" Midori asks after taking a few moments to catch her breath.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Just at that moment Keme came sauntering in to the infirmary to get a minor cut on his hand healed. That trap had come awfully close to catching him last night while he was out for a run in his fox form.
"Good morning, Tyrrin," he smirked, seeing which counter she was standing at.

"You aren't interrupting Tanaka-senpai. What would you like to talk about?" Midori asks after taking a few moments to catch her breath.
"Call me Kitty, please. There's no need to be formal with me."
"I was hoping maybe you could help me figure out what our families are fighting about. I want to put a stop to it. It's stupid. But I can't really do that without knowing why they're fighting."
She handed a blunt shuriken to Saffire who happily grabbed onto it and started munching on the metal.
This was it, the ship was once more whole, powers was as high as it was going to get and shields where holding, Johnny had one chance and one chance only, jump to the upper grid, mad yes but if only for a moment that space beyond hyper space would get s/he there. Johnny has expanded the Fei cell count, now at the 10,000s
Well no point waiting
Johnny let the cells expand and use there full power,
from 1,000,000,000 light years away, it looked like a nove, so bright was its light, then moments later nothing, as the shock and light wave moved past.
.....
........
Johnny looked around, he was standing on a hill, but no hill any human mind has seen back old space. Next to him was a shape, more a space, no a cosmos sized whole and pathway.
::"Hello Johhny, nice to meet you at last"::
::"err, all the Q ok, what, here, how. who..."::
::"That's easy Johnny, but before I show you, let me just say welcome to the Sublimed, and the place beyond even gods."::
::"O C**p! Well thats a Bu**er, was as hoping for School"::
::"O you have not left school, Johnny, just a new form of school, the kind that has no real limits at all, shall we start with a class on Cosmic Creation,"::
Johnny 1st day at sublimed school felt like forever, because for any one looking in that's just how long it was for.

There are no malevolent spirits that would get between her and this. Even restless spirits have a heart. The spirit line and spirit animal lead them to Sara's room. A woman can be seen straightening things and looks up when they draw near. "Sara. I've been expecting you. I don't have much time. You'll be safe here. You have new friends." She looks at Lang and Grim behind her. "You take good care of her." She looks back down at Sara. "You be good now. I love you." The woman reaches down and hugs Sara as the light she is composed of fades away.
Grim follows the glowing path.
Ignace ran into Hew and Zilla in the hall.
"Good morning, Hew. Good morning, Zilla. Have either of you seen Lang? We're supposed to be leaving now. Mom and Dad sent me to look for him."
Hew made quick glance around out of reaction, while Zilla responded. "Nope sorry. I think I saw Sun but that was before breakfast and he was gone before me and Hew got near." Zilla zipped up and glanced around hoping to help.
Hew asked being a gentleman. "If you would like we could help you look?"
adon seems to have shut down emotionally.
"Anti-magic production, in response to it almost disappearing, is now at such a rate... That i have to eat constantly."
"Perhaps my friend, we should find something to take your mind off of this and search for something to do on this day, if you're up for it."
"Sounds nice. I'll see how much i can get to go."
"That's alright," she said with a shy smile. "I do that all the time. I swear I end up putting my foot in my mouth every other time I speak."
Salis smiles to coyly smiles to her. "Your cute when you stumble on your words. I doubt you could say the same about me." He snaps into a bit of a realization. "Do I really have such a low oppinion of how others see me?"
"Is there any particular place you'd like to go?" He stands after eating some of his food.
he thinks for a minute.
"Not really."
Seeing Fei's workout drawing to a close, Kezzin leans forward just a bit. Hoping that Fei and Vai will conveniently head inside, he prepares to drop off the building.

So focused is she, that she doesn't appear to notice when Fei completes his ritual, though there is a look of serenity on her face when he turns to her.
Fei turns and sees Vai in her meditative state. He smiles to himself and quietly kneels down in front of her. After a few minutes, he says "Meldanya? It is time for breakfast." ;)
