"Sorry. I get excited. Let's go." He dips his neck down to let her on. Once they follow him on the way. "Why do you have a stick?" He asks trying not to intterupt.

"my staff is a tool for focusing my power....not that i have much left..."
"Bye guys" grim does as asked and hurried.
Sorchan glared at the approaching children, but before he could speak Pyra stepped forward.
"Get on the shuttle quickly, children. You'll have to make your goodbye quick to your friends that came to see you off. You'll see them tonight anyway. We're running behind and we don't know how long it will take us to find the temple."
"Good luck." Hew tells the group while waving to them.
Zilla flutters over head waving crying you. "Be safe and we'll miss you."
Mel cleans up and gets dressed.
she sits on the bed and pets Nim.
I sure wish you could talk, I believe you understand me. Hey I got an idea what if I could create some kind collar that would simulate speech?
Mel cleans up the rest of the mess she made. glances at the picture a moment.
I'm getting something to eat. you want anything? she asks Nim not really expecting an answer.
Mel heads out to the cafeteria
"Oh, cool."
she looks very comfortable riding the jabberwok, dispite how pepole look at them. Perhaps she doesn't even notice. She fiddles with her onyx amulet, and summons those things again.
Lang wave bye to Hew and Zilla, still feels a little sad that he missed Midori but hew and Zilla would explain. He then climbs on board the shuttle.
"Oh good. That one is back." He says happily. The dragon brushes against Triesdan's leg as they walk and he feels a noticeable jolt of static and a loud pop. "Sorry! That happens sometimes." :/
"Mmmm." She got up and stretched affording him a very good view. "Sure, just let me get dressed..." Her voice trails off as she spots what's left of her shirt. "Uh, can I borrow a shirt?"
After looking her over. "Barrow a shirt? What you don't want to show yourself off?" He teases while opening his closet. "What one would you like?"
"Oh good. That one is back." He says happily. The dragon brushes against Triesdan's leg as they walk and he feels a noticeable jolt of static and a loud pop. "Sorry! That happens sometimes." :/
AH! What the... oW! Perhaps you shouldnt touch people..." Treisdan leans against the wall as he arrives at his destination and knocks on the door with his staff
"Sorry." The dragon looks down. "Are you OK? You look tired."
tarka just rides. At one point she turns around and lays down on the jabberwoky. They have obvoiusly been doing this for a while. When they get to the destination, she jumps off. only a moment passes before she starts muttering tomherself.
"Why do you think this is a bad idea? ... The what? Look, I'll be fine. Stop worrying."
she turns to Lewis.
"And i thought you worried too much."
"This is why I was suggesting we go straight to Headmaster Antairus. He's a Seer so he can help us find them. Plus he can clear it with Ephebe-senpai... er, I mean, Blackscales-sensei for you. Sorry, she only graduated last year."
"As far as code names go, mine already is. My real name is Sakura-Neko. My family is blessed with an overabundance of female children named Sakura, so we all get special nicknames attached. Since I used to take care of all the stray cats in the neighborhood, mine is Neko. My siblings call me Neko-chan. But I prefer to be called Kitty," she explained. "And don't worry too much if Mi-chan has trouble dropping the honorifics. It took me a year away from home to get the hang of that and I still mess it up sometimes."
Nodding a few times, Tryko'Sam says, "Great to know.. Kitty-san. If you folks want my company-- I'm happy to assist. Not really doing anything, thought I'd head into town or something. Up to helping. though."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"I dunno. He does know a lot." The young dragon intones as they wait for the door to open.
"Hay, you know me. Once i set my mind on something... I charge in head first no matter how stupid the idea. Remember that time i was determined to extinguish the sun? Took me two months to realize that i couldn't do it, and another to accept it."
she's half laughing as she speaks.
"Heh. Ya. Falling hurts." :/ he says remembering trying to fly her to the sun.
"Hay, if I'm ever hurting you, let me know. I never need you to get hurt."
she hugs him from the side, just above the wings.
"Heh, i got serious there, didn't I."
she has a small smile on her face. She knows that she can't always be this serious, so when she does have to be, she tries to make it count. Serious is boring, and there is only a certain amount she can output in a day...
Grim puts one arm around Lang's shoulder and after some visable hesitation decides not to do the same to Ignance, though he does smile at her "this is going to be awesome"
He returns the hug with a wing hand. "It takes a lot to hurt me. Besides, I'm the one that is supposed to take care of you. We've always been together and nothing can stop that."
her only thought for the moment is- "yay hugs! Hugs are nice." After a few seconds, she stops the hug, and looks around the hall, seeing people of races new to her, waiting around.
The deep purple, almost black dragon settles down onto the floor. It folds up into almost a perfect, streamlined shape. With its head at the front widening back to the end of its folded wings. Its deep red eyes watch on as the young girl studiously watches the passers by.
Grim puts one arm around Lang's shoulder and after some visable hesitation decides not to do the same to Ignance, though he does smile at her "this is going to be awesome"
Lang smiles back at Grim.
yup! probably not as awsome as your trip to the beach from what I hear. probably no monsters to battle up there
After looking her over. "Barrow a shirt? What you don't want to show yourself off?" He teases while opening his closet. "What one would you like?"
"Mmmm." She got up and stretched affording him a very good view. "Sure, just let me get dressed..." Her voice trails off as she spots what's left of her shirt. "Uh, can I borrow a shirt?"
She picks out a green shirt and slips it on. It's obvious from the amount of the color in her wardrobe and the way she immediately gravitates to it that it's her favorite color. It's also obvious that this is probably the most conservatively he's ever seen her dressed since her own clothes were very fitted and tended to show off a lot of skin.
"Alright, that's better. No need to flash everyone just so I can get some breakfast," she joked.
Nodding a few times, Tryko'Sam says, "Great to know.. Kitty-san. If you folks want my company-- I'm happy to assist. Not really doing anything, thought I'd head into town or something. Up to helping. though."
"Sure, I don't see why you can't come along. I think Michael might come with us too...Is there anyone else you think we should bring, Mi-chan? It would help if we had a full list of people who might be going when we ask permission."
Sorchan was about to object to Grim's presence on the trip when he got another one of those looks from Pyra.
"It would take too long and the Avatar obviously wants him here. We already have a limited window. Just get in the shuttle. We'll get out before the landing bay and fly to the area where they want to search so no one will even see to get upset about it."
"You know you're really irritating when you're right, don't you?" he growled.
Listening to Ignace's parents He looked to Igance
I wonder, will Igance be as strong willed as her mother? I hope so
Once on board Lang shows Sorchan and Pyra the map. he points out the vent opening as well as the blank space that it leads to.
I was hopeing to beging the search here. entering via this shaft.
"It's one of my more endearing traits," she said dryly. "You know you're really irritable when you're second guessing an irrevocable decision, don't you?" she quipped.
She sighed.
"Let's just get on the shuttle. We can always finish this argument later."
For all that they had been arguing, Sorchan puts an arm around Pyra as they sit and look over the map. It's obvious that little disagreements are a normal part of their relationship and not something to worry about. Especially since Ignace doesn't seem bothered by it in the least.
Pyra studied the map carefully. "That makes sense. This area has been closed off for many decades. Maybe more than a century. It's obvious why no one has found the temple before this if it's in here."
Ephebe opened the door to her office. She looked a bit pale and her expression was strained.
"Please, come in. Make yourself comfortable. There are cookies if you'd like one."
Ephebe opened the door to her office. She looked a bit pale and her expression was strained.
"Please, come in. Make yourself comfortable. There are cookies if you'd like one."
after the students are safely inside Treisdan nods to her and starts off
"Thank you." :)
He nudges Tarka to snap her out of people watching. The young dragon gets up from where it had been sitting as still as a statue. It shakes itself off much like a wet dog, causing a scattering of purple static sparks to move over its exterior. "Thank you for taking us, Triesdan. I hope to see you again." :)
And with that it moves into the office. When in there it sits in front of the desk and helps Tarka to reach the chair if need be. He allows her to introduce them as she generally did the talking.
"That one star there is supposed to have 6 points not five. Get it right." The half-gnoll intones. He had been brought along to watch mostly. He was new and the slightly older students had offered to let him come with.
"Oh, hi!"
...
"Gah! What's up with you? Why are you acting up so much? What about her? Sorry?"
...
"What does that even mean?"
...
"That tells me less then nothing. You made me forget things that i didn't even know."
... ...
"That tells me even less, but with more words."
...
"Look, I'm trying to have a conversation."
...
"Ok, would you stop saying "champion of time"? I really have no idea what your talking about."
...
"Heck, i don't know, why did you choose a little kid? Hmm? Didn't you think about it, mister all-knowing?"
...
"Good. Now can i continue talking to her?"
...
"Thank you."
she looks up, curiosity in her eyes, and a glint of fear.
"So, as i was saying, what's a Cookie?"
Midori listens intently as Tryko'Sam explains his name and all the code-name business, obvious considering it very seriously. It's kinda adorable, in a weird way, that she seems so focused on getting this right - she didn't want to be insensitive to her senpai's wishes. "Okay, Tryko...Sam." she obviously struggles slightly at that, and making a visible effort. "Ano... I don't know about a code name, what do you you think, Kitty-senpai."
"Well, maybe Hew-kun would want to come? He's... a friend of mine." she seemed to hesitate slightly at that, as if a little unsure. "Maybe Sorun-kun too.. but I don't want them getting too caught up in this, I don't think I could impose on them by asking." Midori finishes, awkwardly glancing at Tryko'Sam as if she didn't really like imposing on him either.. but he had offered to help.
"It might be dangerous." she says simply, a touch of worry corrupting the melody of her voice, but also fidgeting as if impatient.
Ehos was wandering about Kuros - he had a few things in mind more to buy. Some of the shops were still closed though, still being fairly early in the morning. And so he was just wandering the town. Human towns were so... flat. It was sometimes boring. Ah well, at least the girls were pretty.
Repp, after Adon had left, was finishing his meal quietly in the cafeteria, watching the comings and goings of folk, in a somewhat pensive mood. He watches with particular interest when a human brunette with orange-red eyes enters the cafeteria, his eyes following her movements.

"It might be dangerous." she says simply, a touch of worry corrupting the melody of her voice, but also fidgeting as if impatient.
"Well, if it's dangerous-- better not drag along other people, not sure who those two are. Don't worry about me though, I'll be fine."
>> Usually...<<
He smiles after that and then says, "See? That's the ticket. Tryko'Sam, nice and simple. Or just Sam will work, if it's a pain. I mean, I don't have an issue with it..."
Then he looks like he'd not thought about it, thinking about it.
Melody makes her way through the cafeteria grabbing a light breakfast. and looking for a place to sit. doesn't seem to crowded being a weekend.
all the while as she goes about she feels uneasy. like she is being watched, every so often she glances around but sees nobody.
eventually she notices Vai and some others, she quickly makes her way to that table and takes a seat.
she continues to look about trying to see who is watching her
Hey Vai! melody syas after she sits but in doesn't take much to realize something is bothering her at this moment.
Grim puts one arm around Lang's shoulder and after some visable hesitation decides not to do the same to Ignance, though he does smile at her "this is going to be awesome"Lang smiles back at Grim.
yup! probably not as awsome as your trip to the beach from what I hear. probably no monsters to battle up there
grim splutters "hopefully not that kind of awesome, but even if it does get weird, we brought allong two teachers," he pauses and turns to Ignance, arm still across lang's shoulder's "your parents are teacher's, right?"
When Lang pulls out the maps grim looks them over again.
She picks out a green shirt and slips it on. It's obvious from the amount of the color in her wardrobe and the way she immediately gravitates to it that it's her favorite color. It's also obvious that this is probably the most conservatively he's ever seen her dressed since her own clothes were very fitted and tended to show off a lot of skin.
"Alright, that's better. No need to flash everyone just so I can get some breakfast," she joked.
"Well If your so set school not flashing the school. I really don't she why though, sure it might make a lot of the other girls jealous, but I never tire of seeing all of you." He reached past her with michivious grin. Grabbing a floral print shirt he slipped it on, leaving the front unbuttoned. He looked ready for the beach in his current attire.
"Now that we're both ready." He steps to the door and holds it open for her. Once she walks through he makes a quick step to walk beside her.
Ace touches the wall and thinks of Vai. He and Ginni make their way to the cafeteria, where both Vai and Fei are sitting together.
He walks over to the couple "Morning Vai, Morning Fei. Would you guys mind if we join you?"
"Good morning," Fei replies with a small smile to the two of them, standing and bowing before motioning for them to join them at the table.

Hey Vai! melody syas after she sits but in doesn't take much to realize something is bothering her at this moment.
Fei is about to sit down when the female student from the Fencing club greets Vai and seats herself at the table. Looking between her, Vai and Ace, he bows politely to her before sitting.
"Good morning." :)
Noting her furtive glances around the room and her uneasy body language, the young monk glances around the Cafeteria briefly in an attempt to discern the source of that unease...

1d20+34
Mel look to Fei. So you must be Fei the one I've heard so much about. I'm Melody, Vai's new roommate and band mate
She offers her hand toward Fei (not sure if he would take it or not)
After Lang and the others got on the shuttle. Hew and Zilla made there way to find Midori. "Where were going Hew?" Zilla asked already knowing the anwser.
"I was going to let Midori know Ignace, Lang, and Grim left like Lang asked." He calmly told her as they walked.
"So your not just you wanting to see Midori?" She teased still knowing the awnser and that he was going to lie about it.
"Pfft. No I promised Lang I would talk to her. I don't want to see her anymore than I would any of my friends." He tries to hide his slight embarressment from her.
Vai, who has seen and talked to Ace a few times, will note his slightly altered apperance. He has a pair of horns a bit bigger than Ginni's and when he talks she'll see he has fangs as well.
Ace bows respectfully back to Fei "Glad to see you up and about, after yesterday's unpleasantness. Please try not to do that again. Poor Vai was beside herself with worry over you"
On his way to Professor Nix, Phaezeriel spots a small sheet of paper with strange diagrams on it. Studying the paper for a moment, he curses.
::Headmaster Ryo, we have a problem. It seems some student has been doing research into demon summoning, and today is a good day for it. Can you locate any students that are not on the Avalon grounds? The student is going to try to summon a demon, but has dropped the paper with some necessary containment sigils on it.::
"Hey Dave." The cat has been walking around on the ceiling. He hadn't expected to be the first ones there.
"Oh, hi!"
...
"Gah! What's up with you? Why are you acting up so much? What about her? Sorry?"
...
"What does that even mean?"
...
"That tells me less then nothing. You made me forget things that i didn't even know."

"Good. Now can i continue talking to her?"
...
"Thank you."
she looks up, curiosity in her eyes, and a glint of fear.
"So, as i was saying, what's a Cookie?"
Ephebe was gripping the edge of the desk tightly, her whole body tense.
"A cookie is a sweet pastry. Children usually enjoy eating them," she said, in a pained voice. "The platter is on the table right there behind you. You may eat as many of them as you like."
