well I have a problem with him killing three local towns folk and dropping their hearts carved from their chest to me personally. I'm sorry but I don't want that guy anywhere near me or anyone I care about! ever
Melody is obviously pretty pissed over what he did as well as visibly shaken up by the encounter.
I'm sorry but I just didn't feel safe all day yesterday. and even now I can't be in my room alone, I don't care about any deals I want protection, I want to feel safe again.
"I'm pretty sure James said something about the deal involving putting the guy inside a black hole or maybe between two black holes...I'm not sure...anyways that's what's supposed to happen to him if he tries anything like that again. Like I said, you need to talk to James about the details."

"Lets just head back to the School. I'm sure the fires are under Control at this point. Besides anything on fires 'toast' at this point. Besides I heard a rumor about a Snipe hunt...and I have some scenarios I have to run before hand." Asch says as he begins to twirl a knife made of solidified shadows.
there is an ovbious surge of hate tinged with contempt and rage at tresdian's name that is quickly, if not 100% effectively, squashed ::yes.. :: he eventually says. Dave then walks over to the boy and manifests compelling voice "how about a compromise, if you let us borrow the book we will make it so that the big scary bug will never bother you again, and we'll even make a copy of the book for you" his voice is very melodious, and soothing, it's almost as though he was speaking with three voices instead of one.Jeran gives Dave a look of complete disgust, stands up, and growls. "Stop. This is not how we do things. If it is, then you and I are going to have a problem."
Dave looks annoyed, perhapse a tad bit pissed, his mental voice tinged with contempt :: oh really, so shooting potentially lethal spells, cursing him, for all intents and purposes forever, unless I remove it, to be halted in every action he ever does half the time, tiring him up and leaving him on the ground, all perfectly acceptable and moral:: his voice drips with derision at that word :: but I cast a spell in an attempt to convince him to do as we ask, even if it temporarily nudges his mind, and all bets are off. I do stuff that could kill or cripple him, and you raise no objection, no that you understand. That you are familiar with, that you are used to, but when I try to use my gifts to influence his decision and keep us safe, and its like I've done some great evil. In case you haven't noticed during your preaching, we are not in Avalon, no cushy wards to protect us if we bite off more than we can chew, every moment we spend interrogating this kid or each other is a moment that more of those giant creatures, or even a fresh opponent we know nothing about, stronger than the last.:: his voice looses some of its anger though the tone is still firm:: last time orenio got hurt, we won but it could have been worse, it could be worse next time, and he's not the only one in danger, I don't know about you but I brought someone I care about,:: his voice is softer, havin vented all of his rage for the moment ::I will do whatever I takes to make sure nothing happens to him::

do we have to wait. can we just put him in a black hole now and be done with it? anyway i do want to talk to James. if He can find this guy I want to know how, and develop a way to keep myself safe. I'm the victim here don't I have a say?
Melody sits in a chair and with a blast from her device she shuts down the monitor she was using. she just sits there quiet.
let it pass...like a river... she mumbles trying to adapt the lessons Ginni and Miss Jones taught her.

Politely dismissing her apologies, Anahita says, "You viewed me as a threat, which I assure you, again, I am not. You followed your instincts, which I support as a way of living. I will not judge you for such, let alone dismiss a helping hand of someone who is hurting."Looking Jaiye over, Anahita brings a hand up and says, "We are not enemies, nor are we in a position where we need ever fight. I am here to aid you in this trying time, as one living being with intelligence would another for altruistic reasons. We are fellows in a ..society, of sorts, thus, if it helps, as women, I seek to help you-- and perhaps, grow in learning myself." That said, Anahita tries to 'fix' Jaiye's hair, or fiddle with it, as if that may help as well. After all, she'd seen mothers do this for daughters and if Anahita needed to be the mother, so be it. She could adapt to that role.
"In your heart, do you love him? If you do, stoke that fire-- let it burn within you, to fill you with the passion you felt before. I saw it in your manner, you fought for what you wanted. I respected and gave ground to you for such. Ehos was not mine to take. I am not familiar with men, such that I would... want one, just yet." Her voice goes a bit more quiet at the reveal. Then even quieter, "Or now, perhaps ever."
"I'm in so much pain....I still love him, but is that just the remnants of something that was? or can it actually survive? I don't know....I just don't know...'"
"Wait, why would ....do you not like men?"
"I'm pretty sure James said something about the deal involving putting the guy inside a black hole or maybe between two black holes...I'm not sure...anyways that's what's supposed to happen to him if he tries anything like that again.

Tyrrin knew a little something of Jeran's history, and so understood his objection, but she didn't want to get involved in the squabble. She didn't agree with David's use of magic to take away free will, especially since the situation didn't really call for it yet.
She listens as Ghalen speaks, and looks a bit confused. He couldn't possibly be a Firebird... could he? She places a hand on him, feeling his body temperature.
"I'm too sick... You can't help me. I'm already dead. Thank you though..." He flinches away from Tyrrin's hand. If he is a firebird, he's dangerosly cold.
"You'd be surprised at what we can help at school. But you have to help us help you before we get anywhere."
Dave looks annoyed, perhapse a tad bit pissed, his mental voice tinged with contempt :: oh really, so shooting potentially lethal spells, cursing him, for all intents and purposes forever, unless I remove it, to be halted in every action he ever does half the time, tiring him up and leaving him on the ground, all perfectly acceptable and moral:: his voice drips with derision at that word :: but I cast a spell in an attempt to convince him to do as we ask, even if it temporarily nudges his mind, and all bets are off.

Jeran gives Dave a look of complete disgust, stands up, and growls. "Stop. This is not how we do things. If it is, then you and I are going to have a problem."
"There is a difference between fighting and forcing someone to do something against their will. You may not understand, but from someone who knows what it's like to have my free will taken away, you're not gonna convince me you're in the right on this."
"But nice job wasting all our time on your 'righteous' tantrum...I got a good picture of your character and I can't say I'm at all impressed."
"Oneiro, I will tolerate this person for your sake, but I won't tolerate him doing this to a child no matter how hostile that child might be towards us. "
"Madness talks when he wants to. He's usually good about not interrupting. I'm tarka. You?"
"Ardiente, of..." he pauses, sounding as if there was more to his apparently practiced introduction... and there's hesitation... and he stops completely. "Pleased to meet you Tarka, and you as well Lewis. Have you talked to your teachers about the voices you hear? Especially if it doesn't make sense. It could be a sickness of the mind, Tarka."
"We talked to Mrs.Ephebe when we got here. He is real. He mostly wants to help." He offers helpfully.
"He calls himself a patron, whatever that is."
she is very relaxed, and returns to lieing down on Lewis's back. She obtains a pair of paper clips, and repeatedly threads them though one another, bending them, twisting them. Every so often, she'd wind up with odd shapes that can't even be made with two paper clips.
"I'm too sick... You can't help me. I'm already dead. Thank you though..." He flinches away from Tyrrin's hand. If he is a firebird, he's dangerosly cold.
Tyrrin looks increasingly worried about this young boy. Nihilistic, confused-sounding... and apparently a firebird... though freezing to death if he was. And his magic... wasn't fire-centric, as a firebird's should.
"Perhaps... something has cursed this boy. If he is a Firebird..."
Tyrrin thinks a moment, and then proceeds to cast Break Enchantment on the boy, attempting to remove anything that was there, or might have ever been there.
"I'm too sick... You can't help me. I'm already dead. Thank you though..." He flinches away from Tyrrin's hand. If he is a firebird, he's dangerosly cold.
"That's the beauty of where we come from Pyry. The things that they have cured or helped kids deal with there are incredible. There are other firebirds there, ones that arent normal. They are being helped, why not let us at least try? What do you have to lose?"
"Look, everyone came here of their own free will, and they'll leave that way! Dave, if you were really worried about getting caught out in the open, we could have just carried Pyry while we talked! Or ask Tybalt to make an ice dome."
"He calls himself a patron, whatever that is."
she is very relaxed, and returns to lieing down on Lewis's back. She obtains a pair of paper clips, and repeatedly threads them though one another, bending them, twisting them. Every so often, she'd wind up with odd shapes that can't even be made with two paper clips.
"I see." Ardiente responds, clearly not seeing at all. "Sorry to be rude, but Fieri and I have alot of work to do. It was a pleasure meeting you." Ardiente says, entirely unsure of how to handle these children. He never was good with children...
"Goodbye... Hmm. Madness, what's that? Look, talking about his heritage is rude...
Previous champion? What? Um.... Look, we shouldn't.... Ok, that last bit made no sense. "Dwain bwamage?" You make no sense."
Lewis simply starts walking away as Tarka speaks with the intangible person. "Bye then." He says without even a hint of dejection. He was fine with leaving. Or not. Whichever.
Kosuke looks about confused. He must have been knocked out by the lightning blast... but he didn't feel sore at all. And there was another shino- "Kato-sama." Kosuke bows formally to Ryuzo, and then continues to look around in something of a confused state. His parents are watching him, he knows. So he had to act proper, and with honour.
"Kitty-san, I am sorry I used a dishonorable tactic and involved a non-combatant in our skirmish. I had thought you were reinforcements for our enemy." the young shinobi says with a bow. His mannerisms are very close to Midori's - disciplined and formal. Well-trained.
As the flame touches the bowl the fire inside the bowl ignites and things suddenly seem to be very far away for Lang. It takes him a moment to realize that he has stepped into the spirit world.To Grim and Ignace it looks like Lang just falls over.
Lang looks around at first trying to get his bearings. it does not take long to realize he is in the spirit world.
Moving about almost by instinct lang seeks to spirit of Voltair.
Avatar Voltair, I seek your knowledge. he calls out hoping to find the spirit he seeks.
Dave looks annoyed, perhapse a tad bit pissed, his mental voice tinged with contempt :: oh really, so shooting potentially lethal spells, cursing him, for all intents and purposes forever, unless I remove it, to be halted in every action he ever does half the time, tiring him up and leaving him on the ground, all perfectly acceptable and moral:: his voice drips with derision at that word :: but I cast a spell in an attempt to convince him to do as we ask, even if it temporarily nudges his mind, and all bets are off.

"Oneiro, I will tolerate this person for your sake, but I won't tolerate him doing this to a child no matter how hostile that child might be towards us. "
Dave snorts "and killing him and ending 'his will" is perfectly alright, in fact since it wouldn't be wasting time, I should do so right now, he even says that he's "already dead"" he says not bothering to conceel his words through telepathy "since by your logic I am perfectly fine with ending him right now so long as that were my will, but fine, keep your hypocritical philosophies, I don't care about your opinion on the matter, so it's not my problem, just two more things firstly I've never met someone who was ok with being torn apartt, or otherwise beat up and killed, which had you given it any actual thought insteed of saying what sounds good, would make it rather ovbious that fighting and what I was doing is really only different on one point, what I did isn't permanant, you kill someone and pendig god granted magic they stay that way, it was his will for us to leave but that didn't stop us then, there was a fight going on, and that's what's important"
He pauses closeing his eyes when they open they are filled with a fierce determination "secondly when those who I care about are threatened there is no line I will not cross, no rule I will not break, no sensibility I will not shatter and grind into the dust to keep them safe, and that is how I do things, case in point I find messing with people's heads to be distasteful to say the least but when those I care about are in danger that doesn't matter, you try to stop me and that's when we may just have problems, but fine to avoid hurting your fragile sensabilities I'll stop this time,"
Sun was sitting and enjoying his day with Sara. when suddenly without any warning his face goes blank.
Lang is in the Spirit world...but not this spirit world... that can't be, there is only one spirit world...
Sun jumps up and hurries to a wall the locate Lang. hoping it would indicate the firebird sun.
*Scereeck...*
vriskra yawns as she finally wakes up. She stands up, and goes to eat, very hungry.
"Dave was just trying to help. Maybe he went a little to far. We all need to calm down. I don't think it happened anyways. Everyone just please stop! I just want to find the book and go home! All this stuff is happening and I just want it to stop! He isn't helping or giving a straight answer. You guys are just argueing. You're smearing blood on my walls. I just wanted to find this dumb book!"
His voice rises to a fever pitch and he gets angry enough for the Shaking Aura to fade on. When his statement is done he appears a couple yards away curled into a ball.
Sara follows after him quickly. "What does that mean?"
"Stop yelling..." Tyrrin's magic has no visibly effect on Pyry at all. "Too much yelling!"
"This is ridiculous" Ghalen says through clenched teeth.
"I had assumed since you all volunteered to help Oniero, you‘d stay focused on helping with that task, instead of f@+@ing everything up.
Now, not only does Oniero still need our help, now Pyry does as well and thanks to your little outburst, I doubt he's gonna be real willing to be helpful. So if you guys could swallow your ego, and stop whining about every little thing that makes us cry, how about we get this done?"
As the flame touches the bowl the fire inside the bowl ignites and things suddenly seem to be very far away for Lang. It takes him a moment to realize that he has stepped into the spirit world.
To Grim and Ignace it looks like Lang just falls over.
"Lang! No no no no" grim looks back and forth between Lang and Ignance, both of his friends in trouble, with him having no idea what to do about either one, he then looks to the sourse of the noise. as near as he can tell. why am i such a screw up, I finally make some friends outside of family that don't try to kill me and I fail them when they nead me I never do anything right!
"I'm in so much pain....I still love him, but is that just the remnants of something that was? or can it actually survive? I don't know....I just don't know...'"
"Wait, why would ....do you not like men?"
Anahita nods at the response initially and says, "If I could take your pain, I would. Or cast some magic-- perhaps calm your emotions? Though, that would affect your natural response. Anything that still lives, in my mind, can survive. It may change, but it will learn and grow. Perhaps for the stronger. As with fire, 'That which is not burned to ash, will be hardened by the experience.'"
She smiles at Jaiye and says, "We all have with in us the means to survive, or to collapse to the pain and shut down. I know you have the strength to survive and grow from this. I will not speak poorly of you, regardless of what choice you take, but consider your life in comparison to ...say, one with more experience? Is this not how we grow and learn? With minor bruises and cuts, wounds that ...heal. You will find your strength, and you will grow, I'm certain of it. Channel your instincts and throw out the words in your mind, saying this or that. What do you ..feel? What do you feel inside?" Anahita taps her own chest, looking to Jaiye, smiling lightly.
"Follow your instincts. Be free of what society may have conditioned you to think. Listen to the air, the leaves rustling, the smell of the earth. Love is all around you, it is only complicated when we speak of it, versus be present to it, no?" Definitely not the most poetic of words, but she's pretty damn charismatic.
It should be noted, Anahita doesn't seem to 'suggest' which way to go, only to feel and be present to what is going on, without 'thinking', if possible. Ride the moment, more to say, and be present to it for clarity versus whatever conversation is going on.
She pauses for a few more moments and says, "If you are asking whether I am physically attracted to males, human males, I ... I have felt some stirring, in the past and ...recently, but," she shrugs her shoulder slightly adding quietly, "I am uncertain. I have never had need to ... dwell on these things. Not since, my ... arrival."
Oddly enough, she's more introspective on the topic than ashamed or embarrassed. She probably knows /why/ she's not blurting out specifically beyond what was said, as to why not.
Sara follows after him quickly. "What does that mean?"
Lang is gone...He entered the spirit world like he did with you earlier, but...where? I don't know where he entered from.
Sun cannot interpret the arrows why won't this thing work? where are you Lang?
there is a worried look on Sun's face.
Nodding Dom replies. "Your probably right. I heard a little about these hunts nothing I'd be to interested in really. I think I just practice my music while it's going on." Looking to Tami. "I'll leave it up to my beloved If she would like to walk ride or teleport back. Of course If she's riding Vai I'll accept your help since two is her carry limit."
Jeran knelt down next to Pyry. "I am sorry," he said softly. "You are right. You should not have to listen to our arguments."
"Tyrrin, you came as our substitute for a staff advisor on this trip. You need to take charge now. You're currently the only neutral party to this."
"Snipe....not interested...bwuh?!?!" Asch exclaims in mock horror. "Do you understand its a competition where they expect you to fight each other with out any real sustainable injuries. It's freaking awesome...granted the last one I took part in kinda got screwed up when some possessed teachers attacked and one of them got turned into a shadow....but still."
Dave frowns he telapathically contacts Tybalt his mental voice is soft but unyielding :: I am sorry... Not repentant, but sorry, I only did what you asked. Even if I knew a spell that did something as useless as simply calming people down, I'd still be messing with his head, tampering with his free will. My magic generally isn't nice, I can't afford for it to be so, my magic curces, burns and freezes, the majority of my spells deal with hurting my foes till they can't hurt me or those I care about.. How exactly is is that I went too far, I was just doing as asked...::
He then contacts Skeets :: Skeets run diagnostics, give him some shielding from the cold,::
Skeets then flys over to the downed boy and tries to determine his vitality
Like all the spells getting cast on him, Pyry resists Skeets' shielding as best he can. He fails this time.
"...fine." He mutters, glaring. "I'm just tied up on the ground!"
Jeran knelt down next to Pyry. "I am sorry," he said softly. "You are right. You should not have to listen to our arguments."
"Tyrrin, you came as our substitute for a staff advisor on this trip. You need to take charge now. You're currently the only neutral party to this."
"There is a time and place for that kind of magic, David, but it isn't now. This is a boy who needs our help, not to be compelled to be less of a problem." She says from her crouched position on the ground. "Pyry, if we untie you, are you going to attack us again? We don't want to hurt you, we want to help you." she says in a diplomatic voice, understanding of his discomfort for being on the ground.
