"If there's any weather there it won't be a problem." The floating catfolk says.
"I know." Tyrrin replies smartly, holding up a scroll. "This will allow me to control the weather in the region, as long as I am not being directly opposed." She was clearly taking this much more seriously than Tybs was.
"No thanks. I've got what I need of that right here." He taps an amulet. "If I get both halves of that spell the cold one tries to 'fix' me." He says with air quotes.
"Oh." He says surprised at how quickly some rolled up papers were replacing the jobs he thought he would be doing.
"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."
This causes Midori to giggle, especially as a few of the shinobi squirrels make agreeing motions to what Kitty had said. "Okay, Kitty-senpai. Let's go talk to... ano. Your Headmaster. What is his name? Are you coming with us, Tryko'Sam--?" again, Midori seems to struggle with not using an honourific, her mouth hanging open slightly as if she wanted to say something after the fact, but then she shuts it and looks up at him.
"Well then Skeets will be the back up healer, for in case somethin happens to you" he shrugs "it's best to have at least one layer of redundancy for the more important tasks"
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"
"I will do my best to accommodate that wish. It does seem that things are...better now," he replies with a hopeful smile.
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)
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.
The young monk hesitates for a few seconds, looking a bit...introspective. He then very carefully takes her hand. Melody can tell that he evidently does not do much handshaking - which is probably the reason for all of the bowing ;D
"I am honored to meet you, Melody. Vai has told me you were one people who helped bring me back. I am most grateful for your help - I hope I may be able to aid you in kind in the future..." he replies respectfully, pausing again as he notices something...
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.
Seeing a similar look of unease in Ginni, Fei continues.
"...Do either of you know a pale, red-eyed gnome? I ask because he appears to be reconnoitering the Cafeteria, and possibly the two of you. I am not certain of this, though," [i]he adds apologetically.
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.
Fei is about to sit back down himself when Vai bolts up.
"What...is wrong?"
After the handshake, Melody goes silent.
Despite releaseing Fei's hand, she stands there for a moment
Mel does not even respond to the question.
She suddenly just drops into her chair and tears roll down Mel's cheek
As the tears fall she mkes no attempt to wipe them away nor make any movement at all.
she takes the cookie, and is quite surprised when she eats it.
"Wow! This is nice. So, I'm tarka. Why are you shiny?"
"That is a Champion aura. You will meet several other such here at the school."
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.::
::I have a drone I made yesterday...I'll set it to searching Kuros. In the meantime I suggest you contact Professors Zix and Vare. We can hopefully intervene before things get dire.::
The dragon just keeps nomming his cookie. He didn't know what was going on so he would just let the other people do their thing.
"Cham-pi-on. Cham. Pi-Cham-on." He tries out the new word quietly, trying not to interrupt as he plays with the syllables.
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.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine....there's just a lot of whispering happening in the cafeteria this morning. That makes me uneasy. I'm probably being paranoid."
"Hmm, alright. I think I'm beginning to understand what madness is talking about. But you seem nice, why would you want to hurt me? Eh, madness rambles sometimes."
for someone so young, her common is very good.
Ginni puts an arm around Melody. "Melody? What's wrong?"
To Fei, "A pale gnome? Oh, that's Repp. He's new. I think I was unintentionally rude to him yesterday. That may be why he was staring. I should apologize later."
After the handshake, Melody goes silent.
Despite releaseing Fei's hand, she stands there for a moment
Mel does not even respond to the question.
She suddenly just drops into her chair and tears roll down Mel's cheek
As the tears fall she mkes no attempt to wipe them away nor make any movement at all.
Fei is becoming quite a bit alarmed at the...rapidly degrading state of wellness of the women at the table. He knows he did not accidentally release any kinetic energy into Melody, but he reflexively looks at his hand all the same.
"Um...Melody? Did I just hurt you? Are you...alright?"
"Hmm, alright. I think I'm beginning to understand what madness is talking about. But you seem nice, why would you want to hurt me? Eh, madness rambles sometimes."
for someone so young, her common is very good.
"I do not want to hurt you. Kronos does. We are....arguing. Krays is...asking someone else to act as a mediator in this matter."
"I've never even met a Kronos. Why does he want to hurt me?"
I AM ALWAYS BUSY. MORTALS DIE SO QUICKLY AND CANNOT SEEM TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO HASTEN THE PROCESS. BUT I ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR YOU. AND TIME IS THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW ISN'T HE? SUCH PROBLEMS WITH LETTING GO
::Yes, indeed. He is pressuring his champion to kill Madness' champion out of revenge. She is resisting, but he's not making it easy for her to do so. I thought perhaps an intervention was in order?::
"I won't let him." The small dragon says with a furrowed brow. He moves closer to Tarka. Its a little obvious that the he couldnt do much but he is very protective of the kobold.
"Tyrrin, may I please speak with you for a moment," he asked quietly, trying to forestall the conflict he could see beginning to brew.
"I've never even met a Kronos. Why does he want to hurt me?"
"Because Madness's previous Champion killed his previous Champion. He tends to hold grudges. We're working on talking him out of it," she said, grimacing from the pain she was experiencing as a result of her refusal to follow orders.
"Wow. So Kronos is just as immature as those who wiped out our entire race because of one of us acting up? Way to hold a petty grudge, Kronos."
"Wow. So Kronos is just as immature as those who wiped out our entire race because of one of us acting up? Way to hold a petty grudge, Kronos."
"Oh, Madness doesn't get off so easily in this either. He was happy enough when his last Champion murdered every other Champion he could find. What we need to do is make them stop it. This cannot continue. There is no reason we can't put the past behind us and have a peaceful relationship."
"He rambles a lot, i tell him to shut up all the time. Hee, I'd love to."
With a nod to confirm his comming along Tryko'sam follows the girls as they make their way to the office of Blackscales or whomever else they want to enlist.
"You know, not to limit things, but, if this is a diplomacy thing, more people might not be wise, just a warning. Then again, I'm not familiar with this world, so, I'd nab someone wise, patient and charming. I'm at least one and maybe two of those, depending on my mood."
He was attempting to be playful about his skills, yet, he did sound serious about the task at hand, as if an important goal to accomplish.

"That is a good point," she said as they made their way to Headmaster Antairus's office. "I think six people maximum. Us three, Michael if he can go - he has almost as much invested in ending this conflict as I do, and one or two friends of Mi-chan to make sure it doesn't look like a kidnapping. That should help and we can split into teams to talk to each of our respective families if necessary."
Phaezeriel turns towards the main entrance and leaps back into the air moving as fast as he can. A few seconds later, he vanishes from sight.
"That is a good point," she said as they made their way to Headmaster Antairus's office. "I think six people maximum. Us three, Michael if he can go - he has almost as much invested in ending this conflict as I do, and one or two friends of Mi-chan to make sure it doesn't look like a kidnapping. That should help and we can split into teams to talk to each of our respective families if necessary."
"Let's make sure we have the proper resources needed for cultural talks, I mean, how are these people in regards to strange kids showing up? Can we get some literature or background dumps on the families once we have our team set up? What's your two's specialty? You sound like covert or combat types, with info gathering skills, Kitty-San?"
He was trying out the -San thing, not his forte. It might be noticed to that he was trying to organize things in a quasi military manner, his natural leadership and charisma rising up, we're normally he kept it subdued.
Interplanetary man of mystery, this one.
, THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES. WE ALL BEND THE RULES, BUT IT IS BAD TO GET CAUGHT. BETTER TO GET CAUGHT BY ME THAN SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AN ALLY. I WILL SPEAK WITH KRONOS.
::Thank you. I hope this works. Did you have anything else for me while I'm here?::
::I'm afraid I will be of little help locating the summoners, I am restricted from casting all but the weakest of divinations::he replies ::but if it comes to banishment I am more than capable of banishing such creatures, should I teleport to kuros or should I stay with marcelle?::
::Stay with Marcell for now. Once we locate the problem we can notify you.::
Dom and Tami finally step you of the line. With quick glance around Dom notices Mel and leads Tami over to Mel's table.
"What's going on peeps?" He asks everyone.
"That is a good point," she said as they made their way to Headmaster Antairus's office. "I think six people maximum.

"Sam-san, these are our families. Mi-chan is from the Amateru clan and I am from the Akuma clan. We are the experts you want to talk to to understand our families. Our clans are shinobi, so yes, stealth and spying are a given. Also, I have special skills with animals. But that is very unusual for my family. My nee-chan can displace herself a short distance at will. My nii-chan can turn invisible. Obaa-sama can walk through walls when he wants to. Many of my family members have minor abilities like that. I don't know the capabilities of the Amateru."
"Well then Skeets will be the back up healer, for in case somethin happens to you" he shrugs "it's best to have at least one layer of redundancy for the more important tasks"
"Oh, I wholeheartedly agree in that respect." Tyrrin replies to David, simply shrugging at Tybalt's wish to not have the spell cast on him. If he knew what he was doing, that was fine with her.
"Yes of course, Mr. Darkclaw." she replies easily, not looking up from her task of sorting through her remaining scrolls and depositing them in the blue bag. After a moment of non-responsiveness, she looks up. "Did you mean privately?"
Once Salis finished his shower he tossed on his new robe and made his way back to Ori's room.
With quick knock on the door, he waited for the door to open or her to tell him to enter.
"There is... Phaeze found a part of a summoning ritual in the hallway - a diagram someone dropped I think. He thinks some students are going to bind something.. but he doesn't know where." Vai says worriedly, some of her blonde hair has fallen across one half of her face, and she doesn't push it back. When Melody starts to cry, Vai's worries simply increase. "What's wrong Melody?!" she cries.
"Well then Skeets will be the back up healer, for in case somethin happens to you" he shrugs "it's best to have at least one layer of redundancy for the more important tasks""Oh, I wholeheartedly agree in that respect."

"Yes, that would be why I asked instead of just talking to you here in front of everyone," he said, slightly impatient.
Hew's face brightens up when he see Midori. Quickening his pace to reach her and the older strangers. "Midori. What are you upto?" He asks stepping close to the group.
"Well then Skeets will be the back up healer, for in case somethin happens to you" he shrugs "it's best to have at least one layer of redundancy for the more important tasks""Oh, I wholeheartedly agree in that respect."

"I'm glad we can see eye to eye then, it may prove to be vital on the coming journey" with this settled he walks over to tybalt,
Upon hearing Jeran's responce, Dave can't help but snicker slightly
"Mel did I do something? It's to to, I'm here for you. Unless I'm the cause then I'll going to a differnt table."
Dom wasn't so what just happen a demon summoning and his upset sis.
He stretches out into a position as he was lounging on a bed although he is trully floating six feet above the ground. "Does anyone need me to get anything? Last minute things you may have forgotten.
"Sam-san, these are our families. Mi-chan is from the Amateru clan and I am from the Akuma clan. We are the experts you want to talk to to understand our families.

I don't know the capabilities of the Amateru."
"There you go-- yeah, I kind of figured you two would step up in that regard, just going through a mental check list here. Okay-- so we're dealing with crazy ninja powers, got it. Chi stuff, or whatever. I figure then, if we do split up into parties, we'll want a balanced team of two groups surrounding yourself, Kitty-san and Midori-san, as the points of contact with each family respectively."
While walking along, he idly talks aloud on the plans, "Then my thought would simply be, if we're going to potentially get into a fight-- we'll need what I like to call, a strong man or brick, and a utility person for the third, with you two being the info gathering, covert, sorts. Make sense? Then, when we all form up, six of us, we have two bricks, two utility and you folks pitching in for any fighting and or what not. Uh-- hopefully one or two of the utility people can heal, I guess? Just how deadly is this world? I've seen people with weapons and the like."
He's smiling and enjoying the conversation though, while keeping up with the girls easily.
