Dave stands on the ceeling with tybal "yes Tybs?"
Arrives in his typical black cloud, next to Ephebe
::Are you alright?:: he sounds very concerned, and a split second before his arrival, you knew he was comming.
Looks around and sees the wierd little kobold, and it's...pet? Notices something almost immediately.
"New arrival?" he says, alot more calmly than his message to Ephebe through the bond.
"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.
"Well, I was thinking that is we had one of Mi-chan's friends with us it might be less likely that her family would jump to the conclusion that we'd kidnapped her. Shinobi are very good at conclusion jumping. The idea is to reduce the danger. But we can ask the Headmaster his opinion, just to be sure. Do you want to come with us to his office or should we come and find you after?"
"Hey he looks like you." The small jabberwock intones happily.
"Let's play a game. I'll ask you something about yourself and you answer. Then I answer my own question. Then you ask me a question that I answer and then you answer it. And then we keep going until they get here." He sits cross legged on the ceiling. He takes Jericoh off his shoulder and gently strokes his paw over the spiny fur like coat he has.
"Fair enough, do you want to start?"
He scrambles over to where Bobby was. He tries to fix what he had broken. Was one of the pages missing? There was a place that seemed empty. Oh well they're the experts.
"Okay. Easy one. What's your favorite color?"

"New arrival?" he says, alot more calmly than his message to Ephebe through the bond.
::No, I am not alright. Kronos is being unreasonable. I am barely hanging on right now.::
"Yes, we hadn't quite got to introductions yet."
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...
In Fei's scan of the cafeteria, he locks eyes with a white-haired, white-skinned gnome with shockingly red eyes. The gnome appeared to have also been scanning the room, but then smiles ever so slightly as he meets eyes with Fei, offering him a smile before returning to his breakfast.

"Ohhh... but what about the Akuma clan, Kitty-senpai? I mean, if they see you with me and a couple other people, won't they think the same thing?" Midori asks. She hadn't thought at all that her family might attack Kitty in the same way that she had. Maybe having Hew-kun along wouldn't be so bad.
Hmm "blue, or red, I don't know, I like the combination of black and red, but by itself... Hmm I'd have to say.. Blue... No red... Hmm red or blue"
"How about purple? Both red and blue. I like a light shade of blue-green. OK your turn to ask." :)
::<anger> Constantly, He meddles, and causes you ill. What is it now? Whose champion is this kobold?::
Just nods, and seems to await introductions.
"Good morning Melody, Ace. How are you guys this morning?" Vai asks as she's setting out her plates of food. Growing dragon that she is, there's about five or six times the food here that a normal girl her size and build would eat.
Vai appears to notice the extra bits of anatomy, and was about to ask after them when Melody stuck out her hand to Fei. Vai watches intently to see if Fei would shake her hand. She was looking for cues that he was okay. He seemed to be doing much better with physical contact ever since Johnny did what he had done.
A tall young man with tan skin and an athletic build walked into the teleportation room. His long dark hair was held off his face with a bandana tied around his head. He looked around warily, though his posture was relaxed.
"You guys part of the expedition?" he asked curtly.
"No not purple, I like dark reds, but any shade of blue so long as it is very blue, purple... Well I suppose a redish purple, eh not important, hmm my question, um er what's your favorite song?"
Renkai rolls over, and lands gently upon the smooth stone of the floor, his high buckled boots click softly as he walks toward the cafeteria.
Renkai is wearing a blue and grey doublet with simple black slacks, no cloak and no weaponry

dave looks down "oh hey yes. " he then jumps down off of the ceiling righting himself as he does so "yeah I'm David De'Foul, or Dave as most people know me, and you are" he offers his hand to shake.
Tybalt looks up to where Jeran is below them. "Yup. Will you need a coat?"
To Dave. "Theres a song I like to play a lot but there's too manyto choose really."
He scrambles over to where Bobby was. He tries to fix what he had broken. Was one of the pages missing? There was a place that seemed empty. Oh well they're the experts.
the fourth person sets up the candles muttering about where to place them and constantly rechecking the pages... "no, inside the circle, three over here, one over there... no the black one over here and the red ones are around..."
Dave smells him "I think he has one," he says jokingly to tybalt.

Maybe having Hew-kun along wouldn't be so bad.
"Well, I would hope they would know better. After all, if someone tried to kidnap me they'd have to be strong enough to beat off at least a bear and likely quite a bit more," she said matter-of-fact with no hint of boasting. "My animal friends will help me if I need it."
::<anger> Constantly, He meddles, and causes you ill. What is it now? Whose champion is this kobold?::
Just nods, and seems to await introductions.
::Madness. The one he wants me to assassinate. She's a child. An innocent. I know that this is done on purpose by Madness to save himself, but that doesn't mean that she should pay the price for his past crimes. He promised me. He promised me that I wouldn't have to be this anymore, that I could stop being a monster. You would think someone who had already lost one Champion to unreasonable demands wouldn't keep this up, but Kronos doesn't seem to learn.::
"Welcome to Avalon, both of you. I am Mrs. Blackscales and I am in charge of the elementary portion of the school. What are your names?" she said with a strained smile, trying to be pleasant in spite of the trouble she's experiencing.

His long dark hair was held off his face with a bandana tied around his head. He looked around warily, though his posture was relaxed.
"You guys part of the expedition?" he asked curtly.
"Jeran Darkclaw," he said, giving Dave a firm handshake.
"No, as your friend already guessed, I always have a coat. And in icy mountainous conditions I'm better off on four legs than two," he added in response to Tybalt's question about the coat.
::To my knowledge, I have not been given such instruction... Is He trying to force you to take action? Do you need to leave? I can handle enrollment, if that's what's going on here.::
"And I am Krays Blackscales." he says with a slight bow.
Ginni sat down, feeling uncomfortable. She felt watched. She was probably being paranoid, but there seemed to be a lot of extra whispering going on in the cafeteria this morning. She really hoped it was just her imagination. This sort of atmosphere had never boded well for her in the past.
::To my knowledge, I have not been given such instruction... Is He trying to force you to take action? Do you need to leave? I can handle enrollment, if that's what's going on here.::
"And I am Krays Blackscales." he says with a slight bow.
::Even if I leave now it won't solve the problem. Especially since she will most likely be in my class. She wouldn't fit in well in Pyra's classroom.::
"Cool." He seems completely unprepared to do this, having a few bags over his shoulder and dressed in Hawaiian shirt and shorts. Without moving he simply appears next to Dave and shakes Jeran's hand as well. "Tybalt." :)
::This is too personal. I doubt it very much if Kronos would enjoy the same level of scrutiny from all the other patrons that he seems to give to Madness.::
"You're supposed to put the black candles in the center of the stars on the edge," Damaris said, checking the diagram one last time to make sure that they'd done it right.He scrambles over to where Bobby was. He tries to fix what he had broken. Was one of the pages missing? There was a place that seemed empty. Oh well they're the experts.the fourth person sets up the candles muttering about where to place them and constantly rechecking the pages... "no, inside the circle, three over here, one over there... no the black one over here and the red ones are around..."
"oh, right" he mutters as he switches it to the correct pattern....
"so are we ready?"
::This is too personal. I doubt it very much if Kronos would enjoy the same level of scrutiny from all the other patrons that he seems to give to Madness.::
::Perhaps you could put in a word with your Patron to intervene? I am not going to do this and I really need him to back off. He just won't let it go that Madness took out my predecessor. The downside of living outside of linear time is that things are always fresh to him.::
"I'm Lewisarunkosurilow. People call me Lewis cause it's shorter." He stands on his back legs to look at the plate on the table. He takes one with a wing hand and sniffs at it. He takes a bite and seems pleasantly surprised. He hands one to Tarka. "These are good." He smiles a toothy grin that would be nothing new to the older dragons.

"so are we ready?"
"Yes, I think we are."
"Alright, everyone in position, it's time to start the ritual."
He takes his position quite nervously
He takes his rightful place where he was commanded to. As the chanting commences he follows along trying to copy the words as they come just a beat behind the rest.
she takes the cookie, and is quite surprised when she eats it.
"Wow! This is nice. So, I'm tarka. Why are you shiny?"
Notcing his girlfriend's discomfort, Ace sits down next to her, and puts his arm around her, giving her a small hug "You ok sweety?". He asks quietly.
After a few moments of no response from Ryo, Phaezeriel calls to others who may be able to help. Directing his telepathy to Krays, Ephebe, Professor Nix, Ryleh, Aananda, Jiminy, and Vai, ::We may have a situation. I have found a page of notes that look to be part of a ritual demon summoning. The page contains a timing with is today, and it also contains two symbols of containment which I can only assume that the fools performing the ritual are now missing. I do not know who is involved. And I do not have the authority to search for missing students, but this ritual could not be performed on-campus as far as I know. I found this page in a hallway leading to the main entrance, and it looked to have slipped out of someone's grasp. Please help.::
Tyrrin and her entourage bustle in soon after Jeran. Tyrrin is already dressed in cold weather gear - a thick coat with white fur trim which clashes against her midnight coloured hair. She's carrying an armful of scrolls, and there's a pouch at her side which likely contains spell components, and another blue bag at her side, which almost looks empty. She's sweating slightly from being all bundled up inside the warmth of the school.
"Alright, I've got a few scrolls that will protect us from the cold, and the heat, if necessary. Each casting will last 24 hours, and I have several backups in case the magic is somehow stripped." she hadn't even bothered to introduce herself, apparently all business.
::This is too personal.

::I can certainly try.::
::hey boss, u busy?::
Dave nods "and this here is Skeets, he will be filling the roll of healer for our little group"
The floating green rock with glowing runes bobs in front and says ::how do you do::
At that Tyrrin raises an eyebrow at Oneiro. "I thought I was to be the healer for the group? Ah well, no matter." Tyrrin says, still fussing over a few details with the scrolls, then laying them out. "Alright, everyone should come here and get a casting of this. It will protect you from most of the extremes we should be facing, but it will not help against direct attacks, bear that in mind."
"If there's any weather there it won't be a problem." The floating catfolk says.
At the table with her friends, Vai suddenly stands, looking alarmed. She was barely into her first plate. ::Phaeze, I'm no diviner. I don't know how I can help.:: she doesn't says anything to the group at the table, but she doesn't make an immediate move to leave either.
