Repp had been silently listening to the conversation, apparently having reached it's conclusion, at least about seeking justice for Ginni. "Yes... I suspect it may be David or one of his friends. I have heard something about what occured with him and Raelle, who if I'm not mistaken is one of your friends, Ginni? David was actually taking over minds after all, he seems most likely to be the guilty party here. What better way to make people forget about your own trouble than to spread it to someone else?" Repp says pensively, small gnome but big ideas apparently. He turns to Melody and Tryko'Sam. "What are these... Sim Rooms?" he asks curiously, his red eyes are always a shock against the bleach-white skin. It would be unsettling, if not for the natural charisma he pratically exudes. Even his presence in the room facilitates communication it seems.
"So... I assume you don't know what or where i am... But thank you for one awnswer.... "Carabian"... What a nice name."
She nodded, not quite trusting her voice at that moment. She reached into the bag she always carried slung over her shoulder and pulled out a pile of paper that flew from her hands forming a dome shaped tent around them. "The, uh, paper mage's version of tiny hut...much better privacy," she added with an impish grin. "If you want to stop just say so and we will...otherwise...." She drew his close for another kiss.

"So... I assume you don't know what or where i am... But thank you for one awnswer.... "Carabian"... What a nice name."
"You are my teddy and you are at school. Don't you know that? Are you a different Cariban?"
She dares to move out from behind Midi and step towards the bear.
Vare does something most odd upon first encountering Bradley. Upon his first sight, his expression is curiously, seeking... then reverent. Head bowed slightly, as if in deference. He seems to almost... nod, in response to something invisible to everyone else present. "Pleased to mee-" Vare had been about to say how pleased he was to meet the young man when he tripped and became tangled. "Are you alright Bradley?" he asks curiously... not sounding concerned though. Which Anahita might think is a bit odd, given his overt concern for the welfare of others on several occasions.
Definitely enigmatic right now, our Wizard.
Anahita glances between the two and the ground, almost as if trying to imagine what Vare's tripping over and what not, smiling up at Bradley.
"Vare has a unique vision on the world, Bradley. I didn't realize he could see if there was something unusual, but, this is fascinating. Is everyone okay?" She goes to assist Vare back up.
"Curiously, Vare, what are you seeing?"
"Well, i think I'll enjoy being with such a nice girl. I suppose i am a different carabian, in some sense of the phrase."
Repp had been silently listening to the conversation, apparently having reached it's conclusion, at least about seeking justice for Ginni. "Yes... I suspect it may be David or one of his friends.

Sim Rooms?" he asks curiously, his red eyes are always a shock against the bleach-white skin. It would be unsettling, if not for the natural charisma he pratically exudes. Even his presence in the room facilitates communication it seems.
Tryko'Sam listened to Repp and then says, "You know, that David guy-- kind of a stick up the ass sort, but, he was alright. Helped me when I just got here, so ... purely on gut instinct and first impressions, I wouldn't go with that. It's a sound reason, but, that's kind of a twisted vain thing to do-- is he vain like that?"
Looking Dom's outfit over and shrugging, Tryko'Sam adds, "Easy there, killer. No reason to get bent over what an angel does or doesn't do, right? I mean -- maybe it's actually a demon disguised as an angel? Wait, why -- what's up with the angel hate?" Clearly he got caught up and rambled something else.
Looking back to Repp, Tryko'Sam replies with, "Uh, rooms with illusions, so people can pretend any scenario with the right effort. It's for testing and such. Pretty awesome s*%~."
"Hey-- maybe we should just ask David, right? Page him on the PA system or something, get his ass in here, see if he fesses up. Plus his friends... though, while Repp has a point, are people that petty here on this world? Sounds ... weak. I mean, s+*~, doesn't everyone here have super human abilities or something? why bother with lying? That's like the weakest s#!~ you can do, right? Character assassination."
Perhaps Tryko'Sam could benefit from 'inside voice' more. Give how he looks though, he clearly doesn't care about speaking his thoughts aloud.
Tryko'Sam listened to Repp and then says, "You know, that David guy-- kind of a stick up the ass sort, but, he was alright.

Dom quickly snaps back in to a happier mood once he realizes his animosity was coming out. "Sorry, the one who seeded my mother was an angel. The jerk ran off on her once he found out she was pregnant with me. So I'm not to found of angels because it's an all to common story. I'm sure they do somethings for people but I never have seen it."
Looking between Repp and Tryko'sam. "I have to agree with Tryko'sam David while not having the greatest personality on Argatha isn't really that bad of a guy. Besides he's been away from the grounds for a while now. Maybe it was some that has a connection to him, but I doubt it was him." Dom tries to break the hasty judgment as best he can.
Mel finally speaks up
Dave is innocent as far as I can tell. First of all He is not here, second I did a bio-scan of him when we first met. he was covered in some sort of pheromone substance that would overwhelm the sensory glands of other people creating a euphoria type attitude.
Now on to my next point... she looks directly at Tryko'Sam any work partner of mine has to start to think about their words before they speak them. understand?
melody give him a look that only a female can give (regardless of their home universe)
"You won't hurt us will you?" She asks out loud.
Then she whispers. [Smaller]"Midori thinks you might. You won't right?"
She sits down in a prayer type position with her knees bent and sitting on her feet so she is nearer to the bear's height.
'Phaeze says that he will come once they're done invesigating. They're trying to resurrect the guy, by the sounds of it. Hopefully that goes well.' Ehos displays to Jaiye, looking a little concerned about everything.'I plan on keeping that promise I made by the way - the first thing I want to do with my voice when I get it back is sing for you. If you still want me to.'
"Then I look forward to the day when I can hear you sing...it will happen. I'm sure of it," she said confidently.
"As for the shop guy, well, we really can only hope for the best. Since he's really the only lead we have for now."
"Of course not, Sarah."
cariban's face is surprisingly expressive, smiling slightly with his eyes relaxing some.
grim nods to Ignance's mom, he then turns to nala "thank you for helpin my friend" he then goes to mis Del Soul's side following her as she leaves.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said cheerfully as he struggled his way out of the clutches of the garden hose and stood up again. "That's barely even an inconvenience. I have way worse things happen to me when I walk through the halls."
"But things are generally better up here. I hardly have any accidents at all while I'm up here taking care of the pigeons."
She nodded, not quite trusting her voice at that moment. She reached into the bag she always carried slung over her shoulder and pulled out a pile of paper that flew from her hands forming a dome shaped tent around them.

melody give him a look that only a female can give (regardless of their home universe)
"Did you just say that David's a stinker or something? I sure as heck didn't get that impression-- but, he was doing some kinda mental illusion or something, right?"
With a shrug or two, he looks back up at Melody and says flatly, "As far as I can tell, Melody, you're not my boss-- but an assigned buddy, per the Professor. So... try to can it with manipulations or demands on me, okay? Hommie don't play that game. Maybe if you tried a different approach, you were being all nice and polite earlier, I'd hate to think you're some kinda two faced Janus. Isn't this place a free country or ..uh, school or something, I mean, s#~*, we got demons and angels hanging out, right? What's the problem with how I talk?"
With a bit of a smirk he adds, "Plus, yer not my girl friend, so that look don't work on me. I don't spook easy... trust me." A light chuckle ensues there.

Mel just looks to Sam Okay then, I just don't really like the foul language, that's all.
"Ease up, Sam. You're making her really uncomfortable doing stupid stuff like calling her babe...like you said, she's not your girlfriend. It's not cool. You don't need to lecture her when you're being just as bad. Come on, try and use some of that charm to make nice yourself. More flies with honey than with vinegar, right?"
"And let's just leave Dave the jerk out of this. Don't give me that look. I thought he was a jerk before. I just put up with him cause Raelle was going out with him. I don't think he did it either, but some of the people he started hanging out with might have, thinking they were doing something to help him. And since he's not here to stop them," she shrugged. "Well, he was usually a well-intentioned jerk so I'll give him enough credit to think he would have tried to stop it if he knew."
Mel just looks to Sam, "Okay then, I just don't really like the foul language, that's all."
"Alrighty ... but, where I come from, this is common talking, but I can see you want things your way. Fine... I'll zip it up, when you're around, fair?"
"Ease up, Sam. You're making her really uncomfortable doing stupid stuff like calling her babe...like you said, she's not your girlfriend. It's not cool. You don't need to lecture her when you're being just as bad. Come on, try and use some of that charm to make nice yourself. More flies with honey than with vinegar, right?"
Tryko'Sam seems a bit confused at the 'babe' part being the issue, glancing back at Morrivan, then to Melody, shrugging. "Okay. No more affectionate terms. Got it. Everybody I'm running into is either overly emotional and sensitive, or ready to cut someone down, crazy town. Something in the water, huh?" He chuckles a bit.
"And let's just leave Dave the jerk out of this. Don't give me that look. I thought he was a jerk before. I just put up with him cause Raelle was going out with him.

"Well, he was usually a well-intentioned jerk so I'll give him enough credit to think he would have tried to stop it if he knew."
"Yeah, don't know the guy personally-- but he did me a solid, so, not quite sure if I'll throw him under the bus so quick. Seems kind of lame to do, especially if he can't speak up for himself. Real lame. Petty too."
That gets Morrivan a thumbs up. "He does seem kind of a smart know it all though, huh?"

Dom chuckles slightly. "Looks like we have found someone as oppionated as you." He teases Mel. "Look I think were should calm down and change the subject. Ginni I'm sure has heard enough about who did it." Dom asks everyone. "How about we all to check out the sim room. Have you guys set up a party sim yet?"

Mel just gives Dom a smirk at that comment that quickly changes when he mentions party sim, like "do you really have to ask that question?"
She pulls out the datapad and does some quick file transfers. then uses her sonic device and loads the data into it. with a quick check [b] looks good ready to to upload and run once we get there.
Ace watches intently as Krays tries to return the tailor to life. "Neat trick, I think I might be able to replicate that, if I see it a few more times. Too bad it didn't work"
He then thinks of another question for the dead body "What was the last thing you remember doing, before all the darkness and pain?"
The corpse speaks again to Ace's question, "Closing shop for the day ... I was near the front, everything else stored and closed. Then pain and darkness."
Ace would realize he has one to two questions left, depending. Best guess would be one.
The dead man doesn't appear concerned, reactive or anything else, being a corpse, waiting to speak-- if ever again.
Dom chuckles slightly. "Looks like we have found someone as oppionated as you." He teases Mel. "Look I think were should calm down and change the subject. Ginni I'm sure has heard enough about who did it." Dom asks everyone. "How about we all to check out the sim room. Have you guys set up a party sim yet?"
"Damn straight, ninja-guy." Tryko'Sam says to Dom with a grin.
He watches as Melody does her datapad and what not thing, and chuckles. "I'm going to pass on any party stuff for now, no offense. Still more interested in meeting folks and visiting sites. Any of you folks want to hit the town, see what happened with the 'team' that went in to fight that many armed snake thing?"
He rises up on that note, looking around while wrapping up whatever's left of the food he ate earlier.
"Gotta return this plate to the cafe too."

Mel just sighs and here i thought you would ask me to dance she says to Sam with a joking smile. and a wink toward Kai.
"I must defer to you then Morrivan." Repp replies casually. "As I have never met David personally, I was merely extrapolating from what I've heard." his posture is ever so slightly submissive towards the woman which he was speaking to - ignoring the rest of the conversation for the moment. Parties didn't really interest him much after all. "If you believe David isn't capable of being petty, then I shall most certainly defer to you on this matter - was merely attempting to be of assistance."
Morrivan shrugged. "Nah, Dave just has his own special brand of petty. I think if I had to guess it was that goth chick he hangs with now, the one with the exhibitionist problem...and really, she's so not worth the trouble of revenge. She is enough of her own problems already. This will all blow over eventually Ginni. You know we'll be here for you."
"I think I'll pass on the party Sim for now....after all, we're probably going to want to use it later for girls night. I'm guessing after all the destruction today, going into town would be less than ideal."
Ryleh finally found a packet of cookies in the cupboard.
"This is all that's available. I do not usually partake of these sweet pastries that you are so fond of. Let's see....these appear to be banana walnut cookies."
"Alright, I'm out of questions. Anybody else? Otherwise, I am going to end the spell and head back to Avalon. I want to eat lunch and meet up with Ginni, then figure out my plans for the night. She's having a girls night to try and help cheer up Raelle, so maybe I'll do a little divining into what happened in this shop."
Ryleh finally found a packet of cookies in the cupboard.
"This is all that's available. I do not usually partake of these sweet pastries that you are so fond of. Let's see....these appear to be banana walnut cookies."
Sun take a single cookie. he is most appreciative.
I'm sorry if I sounded...well...crazy earlier. its just that lang and I have never been really separated before. I got scared.
Sun never does take a bite of the cookie
I should go, and wait for him to get back. I really am sorry about the trouble I caused
Sun goes to leave and head back to the garden taking the uneaten cookie with him.
Mel just sighs and here i thought you would ask me to dance she says to Sam with a joking smile. and a wink toward Kai.
"Yaaah, no." He smirks back at Melody and then looking back at Morrivan, nods. Glancing over as Tamina speaks, he nods some more and says, "I don't even know what passes for dancing in these parts anyway. You guys all do realize, not to play a violin here or nothing, but, I /only/ just landed on the planet yesterday. Kind of freaked out, but dealing. As for town-- good call. I could scout it if you folks wanted, but I'm sure that 'team' is going to be returning with updates. Isn't that what they're there for? Rescue or defense reasons?"
He looks around when asking that, curious.
Listening to the others one-by-one start to bail Mel shuts down her datapad.
Yeah dumb idea anyway. I got a recording studio Sim running now, had it set up for some music time with Ginni, but not sure if she's in the mood anymore glancing toward Ginni wondering her opinion.
"Town, I think I've scene the destruction enough today. I think I would rather do something less depressing, than return to town just yet." He tells Tryko'sam.
"How about you girls? Want to to have a little music and dancing. At least in the sim room we can decide the topics." He asks while doing a little mock dance toward Ginni.

"Actually I think that still sounds like a great idea. Especially if we can make it so I can't actually see anyone else there so i can trick myself into thinking I'm playing for myself. I can't think of any better way to completely forget about all of this stuff."
so studio then? will have to expand it a bit I set it up originally for just two people. but that will take all of ten seconds or so
Mel looks around the room to see who else is joining
"Of course not, Sarah."
cariban's face is surprisingly expressive, smiling slightly with his eyes relaxing some.
Midori relaxes slightly at that, noting the kind demeanor. She lowers her weapons ever so slightly... but if either the bear or Sara are at all sensitive to such things - she's still shaking a little. "Sara-chan, what is happenning?"
"i don't think either of us know. i was just suddenly here. first thing i remember is you sewing my eye on, then freaking out."
"Ask him who has his soul. He may not know, but it couldnt hurt."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Well, i think I'll enjoy being with such a nice girl. I suppose i am a different carabian, in some sense of the phrase."
so studio then? will have to expand it a bit I set it up originally for just two people. but that will take all of ten seconds or so

"You still not want to join, Tami?" After a warm smile he continues. "Good music, good company. Maybe a dance or two."
"i don't think either of us know. i was just suddenly here. first thing i remember is you sewing my eye on, then freaking out."
"I'm sorry. You scared me." Midori says a little sheepishly. She's defintiely still spooked, but getting over it. "How can you talk?"
"I don't know but Cariban has always been nice."
She gently picks up the small stuffed animal.
She sets it on the table.
"Maybe Mrs.Blackscales can help us. She always helps when we need her."
She looks at Midori. "It's OK. You can put those away." She sets her hands on top of Midori's and gently pushes them down toward the sheath.
"You don't need to worry. He is just as confused as we are."
"Ask him who has his soul. He may not know, but it couldnt hurt."
Assuming that Ace, given that he is ready to ask questions of the corpse, goes ahead and does so, the corpse replies before the magics leave it.
"I do not know." Then it stills and is the fleshy figure of a corpse that it was since Ace's 'restore corpse' magics flowed through it and gave it flesh again.
The shop, otherwise, is mostly quiet and damp.
Kezzin, having obtained a violin from who-the-hell-knows-where, perches on the roof just above the "student lounge" and begins to play. He is making music that can best be described as strangling a cat while scraping across its spine with a hacksaw. To anyone with a gifted musical talent, it is atrocious. However, his playing is improving as you listen. As if months of practice are flowing by in the minutes.
Phaezeriel stares at the body, frustrated anger evident in every line of his posture. ::So now what the hell do we do?!:: This emotional response is very out of character for the reformed demon, and when he looks up from the body those around him catch a glimpse of the glow from his eyes fading from red back to silver.
"Hmm, quite a mystery we have on our hands. As I said, perhaps I'll work some divination magicks this evening. I wonder what could have ripped the man's heart out and possibly trapped his soul as well"
Ace turns to his companions "Krays, Asch, Vai, Phaez, thanks for your help in this. I don't often use a commune with the deceased spell, so I kinda floundered a bit there."
With that, he teleports back to Avalon, and as soon as he's within the walls, gets bombarded by countless thoughts about he and Ginni and some sort of mind control scheme. He touches the walls to locate his girlfriend and teleports to her side immediately.
"Phaeze!" Vai sounds a little shocked at her friend's outburst, but quickly steps forward with a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright? Talk to me... what's wrong?"
Vai finally realizes that Phaeze has not made a single sound since his transformation... even during his outburst just now. "Are you stressed because of the vrolikai? We won't let them take you, ever."
