Tryko'Sam nods after hearing this, adding, "Sounds like a sharp cookie, your mom. Maybe this scan can help."As to Vai when she asks about his immune system, "I just know - or remember not getting sick. I'm guessing there is something affecting my memory, or has. It's as if, I can only go back so far, or certain things just go blank. Maybe some nasty telepath got to me and messed me up. I don't like telepaths, I think. Literally everything so far makes me uneasy, except swimming in the pool before that... See? Dead end there. Oh well."
He certainly didn't appear nervous, as much as accepting there was an issue.
"This is why I want to check and make sure you're not suffering from brain trauma."
"Here we are, it's just this way. Oh, good afternoon, Bertha. No, it's alright. I got this one. Just a quick scan, possible past head injury. Maybe nothing, but worth checking up on," she said, giving the head healer a quick explanation and then leading Tryko'Sam over to the scanner.
"Okay, just stand on that platform and I'll get this thing started. Vai, keep him talking. It will help with the analysis of the brain."
"Hmmm. I think I would like to meet her if at all possible. I do not know anyone by the name of Sadie, but then I've only been here a few days." He says, and slowly stands from his seated position, brushing off his robes as he does so. "Bradley, you seem very special and unique to me, and I will do everything in my power to make you as comfortable as possible. I have much magic as my disposal, and you only need ask for me to employ it.""What do you think of Anahita, Bradley? She is something of delightful enigma to me."
"I don't think Ursula will come back here anytime soon. But you can meet Sadie pretty easily. She's the captain of the fencing club. Anyways, thanks. Mostly I'm okay. Ana gets pretty concerned, but this is just normal for me. But I'm glad for the pigeons. It's relaxing, spending time with them."
"Ana is special. She needs a lot of help. She's younger than she looks. Maybe not in years, but she missed a lot I think while she was out in the wilderness. She learned a lot too, but it's hard for her to be around people. But she has a good heart and she cares. I am glad to call her a friend."

He certainly didn't appear nervous, as much as accepting there was an issue.
"Hmm," Vai says decisively, as they walk along.
"You know, I know you hate telepaths... but maybe you should meet my friend Phaezeriel. He... he's a telepath, but he's also a healer of the mind."
As Ephebe guides Tryko'Sam onto the pad, Vai nods at her instructions to keep him talking... not that Vai thought that was going to be a problem. He really did seem to like talking. "So, what else do you like to do for relaxation? Maybe we can help with that, that was you don't feel so uneasy."
Gotcha I'll be in the sound booth when you are ready then
mel heads on out through the sound booth.
She goes out into the dance hall and goes and gives Dom a hug.
everything is just Fine Dommie, I just was a little frustrated that you guys looked like you were arguing. but Ginni and I talked and... well, we have a surprise. so come on, follow me. You too Ace.
Mel takes them to the sound booth showing Dom and Ace the controls and the sound boards.
these controls here control each of the mics and sound levels of each instrument. and over here are the blenders to combine live with pre recorded. and over here are the controls to direct the output. we can record, paly in here only or send the music into the dance hall'
off to one side is a section with a big sign that says "DO NOT USE"
Mel points to that, and please heed that sign over there, its not ready for use yet
looking through the window Ginni is in there setting up for something.
after a few moments Mel flips a switch and speaking into a mic so Ginni can hear her. Ginni whenever your ready. and she gives Ginni a thumbs up through the glass.
After a few minutes, a spot 'opens' and a young women steps through to greet Raelle.
"Sorry, there was a slight.. distraction. I'd say you're getting out for good behavior, wouldn't you."
After a few minutes, a spot 'opens' and a young women steps through to greet Raelle.
"Sorry, there was a slight.. distraction. I'd say you're getting out for good behavior, wouldn't you."
"I have been a veritable saint...for the last ten minutes," she added with a wink and a grin. "And thanks."
"Ten minutes totally counts. Where do you want to go? I can manage just about anywhere, and Kam's watching the eggs."
"Okay. Like I said before, I'm not that good at singing, but if you can learn the song I think you'd do amazing with it."
Ginni sat on a stool as she started playing and singing this song.
"Ten minutes totally counts. Where do you want to go? I can manage just about anywhere, and Kam's watching the eggs."
"I suppose it would be really boring if I just said I wanted to go meet up with my friends, but I don't really have anywhere else I want to go right now. Heck, we're probably even doing girls night in the SIM rooms...woohoo...way exciting," she said a bit sarcastically and shrugged. "But it's about who you're with not where you are, right?"
"Okay. Like I said before, I'm not that good at singing, but if you can learn the song I think you'd do amazing with it."
Ginni sat on a stool as she started playing and singing this song.
1d20+31
1d20+21
as Ginni is playing Mel listens and almost immediately she is working the sound blender. mixing in pre-recorded accompaniments to enhance her performance and starts a recording.
Mel is really excited about the song I can do get into this song...
Mel tries to get the reaction of Ace and Dom with both Ginni alone and with Mel's enhancements.
"That's true. Just outside the i rooms then?"
"Okay. Like I said before, I'm not that good at singing, but if you can learn the song I think you'd do amazing with it."
Ginni sat on a stool as she started playing and singing this song.
1d20+31
1d20+21
"That's true. Just outside the i rooms then?"
"That would be perfect."
The opening shifts around and Taron steps out it with Raelle.
"Don't stay up late.. you'll want to see what happened to pumpkin hair at breakfast."
The opening shifts around and Taron steps out it with Raelle.
"Don't stay up late.. you'll want to see what happened to pumpkin hair at breakfast."
"Ooh...now I'm looking forward to it...this may be the only time I get up early on a weekend," she said with an evillish grin.
"It'll be worth it."
Following along with the two girls, one younger looking while the other about his age, Tryko'Sam seems fairly casual now, having left the meditation area where Tarka and Yrrin were.
As they go into the room, he peers around, whistles a bit as it's impressive and then gets up to the scanner where indicated.
"So like, if this all goes haywire, apologies in advance and s%#&." Clearly, cussing might be wired into his way of being, so it could take a bit, or when relaxed, he just cusses.
He glances back at Vai when she asks about relaxing and shrugs, "Dunno. Telepathy-- or mentalists? Just ... gut feeling, no good. You know? Maybe that's just a simple way of saying, stay out. I'm pretty sure something bad happened in the past, which is funny, seeing as I can't really remember much of the details there. Something about ... where I was born."
Giving some more thought, he adds, "Swim in warm waters ...listen to... music, I guess? Uh. Travel places. Maybe, something about moving about, dancing maybe? I said travelling. Seeing new places is neat, or places with history. What about you two, what do you guys do for relaxing around here when people aren't trying to whip out a weapon and beat each other up?" He shrugs and then frowns.
"I'm guessing I lost some memory." He looks pretty disappointed at that revelation, but not stressed. "Sounds likely-- maybe familiar. Not sure how this scan is going to help, honestly." Clearly he has some kind of doubts.
Dom hugs Mel back. "I thought I might have upset you." Before Mel could user Dom in the room he looked to Morrivan you ok out here. I don't want to just run off on you."
"I don't think Ursula will come back here anytime soon. But you can meet Sadie pretty easily. She's the captain of the fencing club. Anyways, thanks. Mostly I'm okay. Ana gets pretty concerned, but this is just normal for me. But I'm glad for the pigeons. It's relaxing, spending time with them."
"Ana is special. She needs a lot of help. She's younger than she looks. Maybe not in years, but she missed a lot I think while she was out in the wilderness. She learned a lot too, but it's hard for her to be around people. But she has a good heart and she cares. I am glad to call her a friend."
"I'm glad you have found time to relax, Bradley." Vare says happily.
"Anahita seems to learn fast though. Her temper is not something I am enjoying being on the receiving end, and I hope she will understand better once I am able to explain more clearly." Vare ducks slightly, and then seems to decide to sit back down, leaning against the wall. "Perhaps I will go meet with this Sadie, but I do not wish for you to feel neglected. I am not going to ignore your... ability... though I feel there may be no way to truly help it in the end."
Sheessuroussen is found sunning himself on the top of the cafeteria, A tiny blue snake poking his head off the roof, looking at the children
"Hai, of course we will invite Sara-rin." Midori says back, just as conspiratorially. "Ano... I wonder if Ignace-chan is going to be able to make Sara-rin a yukata in time... maybe I could try." Midori pauses thoughtfully, seeming to come to a decision. "I should at least try. The worst that can happen is that I fail, ne?"Lang just smiles his expression is enought to show his appreciation.
whatever you do would be fine. Sara means allot to Sun and Sun means allot to me
Lang smiles Oh, by the way Midori, it doesn't matter if you fail to make the yukky thingy...wait thats not right yuka ta...whatever it is, it will be great because you made it out of friendship
way to go lang ruin a perfectly good compliment with lousy social skill...yukky thingy where did that come from
you would almost thing Lang just face-palmed himself as he finished his blunder.
Zilla laughed at Lang acting silly. "We had already decided to ask her to come actually. We talk to Ignace yesterday, to see If having her and Clara would be ok."
::Hey! I like your hyena form.. even if the fur is a bit scratchy.:: Ehos briefly muses about how humans can possibly stand to have beards, before shaking his head and returning to the task at hand. His telepathic voice is decidedly grim. ::I don't think I explained things very well Phaeze. Did you find anything else out? Jaiye thinks I might have been drugged.::
Paezeriel nods, ::I will gladly tell you what I know, as well as what I believe that it signifies.::
"Anyone got the spell to move through things?"
Ace sits quietly, and listens to his girlfriend perform. He smiles at the words, knowing they had a deeper, personal meaning to her. When she's finished he uses a minor spell and whispers quietly to Ginni "That was amazing babe! You sounded incredible! I'm so proud of you!!
"I got a few, they're called blow it up" it is fairly obvious from his tone he is joking
"Did you figure out the magic though?"
"It'll be worth it."
She grinned. "I think you're definitely in the running for favorite sibling-in-law."
"I'm going to go find my friends now, make sure Ginni is doing okay. You're welcome to come with me if you want. I'm not sure if you know any of them or not...well, definitely not some of them since a lot of them are new this term, but they've been good friends to me in that time what with all the drama I've had in one short week."
Dom hugs Mel back. "I thought I might have upset you." Before Mel could user Dom in the room he looked to Morrivan you ok out here. I don't want to just run off on you."
"No, it's fine. I'm good. I really don't know much about music anyway. And this way I can tell Tami where you guys are when she shows up with Zren and Rikken," she said, waving him off cheerfully.
"Oh yeah, there is some sort of alarm spell, and something else to give the target some resistance to damage, looks kinda like biofeedback"
"I'm glad you have found time to relax, Bradley." Vare says happily.
"Anahita seems to learn fast though. Her temper is not something I am enjoying being on the receiving end, and I hope she will understand better once I am able to explain more clearly." Vare ducks slightly, and then seems to decide to sit back down, leaning against the wall. "Perhaps I will go meet with this Sadie, but I do not wish for you to feel neglected. I am not going to ignore your... ability... though I feel there may be no way to truly help it in the end."
"Ana gets angry easily, but she also forgives easily. Like I said, she's special."
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. I don't really mind what happens to me if it can be used to help other people. I don't think Ana agrees with that, but," he shrugged. "It's just how I am. My nature. Anyways, I have less accidents when it's just me and the pigeons. So you really don't have to feel bad about neglecting me. I have plenty of good company."
"I'm going to go find my friends now, make sure Ginni is doing okay. You're welcome to come with me if you want. I'm not sure if you know any of them or not...well, definitely not some of them since a lot of them are new this term, but they've been good friends to me in that time what with all the drama I've had in one short week."
"I'm already your favorite, and you know it!" He laughs. "You know, I think I will. I haven't had much fun since I got back, and I am a girl. Kam will be so jealous!" (:<
Paezeriel nods, ::I will gladly tell you what I know, as well as what I believe that it signifies.::
** spoiler omitted **...
"Well...he might not have been coerced. The mental state he was in...freaked out about commitment and worrying that he didn't deserve to be happy...it wouldn't have taken more than a nudge, especially if she was delivering that nudge by manipulating his emotions. Still, it certainly would suggest that he wasn't fully in control of his actions. It reinforces the idea that I was right to give him a second chance," she said frankly.
"So...we think this Kara woman is some kind of...demon? Or working with one?"
"Well, I might be able to cut through, but if that sets off the alarm, we could have a mountain of bugs coming for us."
"Maybe me and tyrrin could dispel it?"
Mel looks at Ace Huh? did you say something? she thought she heard him whisper something but no idea what.
she just shrugs figuring she miss-heard.
flipping on the communications.
Ginni you did great. I added a little bit of accompaniment but left everything else unchanged. and to be honest i doubt I could improve it in the slightest.
Mel goes over and opens the door to the studio. waving everyone inside
Mel then goes to fetch Morrivan as well okay, this room is available whenever you want it I gave you guys full access. just do not use the panel labeled do not use. so Ginni you want to hear the playback?
Ace sits quietly, and listens to his girlfriend perform. He smiles at the words, knowing they had a deeper, personal meaning to her. When she's finished he uses a minor spell and whispers quietly to Ginni "That was amazing babe! You sounded incredible! I'm so proud of you!!
Ginni blushed and smiled, happy to hear those words of praise.

"Umm....yes and no. But maybe it will do me some good to hear the playback. Hopefully it will help me get a more objective view of how I actually sound," she said nervously.
"Umm....yes and no. But maybe it will do me some good to hear the playback. Hopefully it will help me get a more objective view of how I actually sound," she said nervously.
Mel plugs in some headphones and hands them to Ginni. when she is ready Mel activates the playback with her sonic wand (only Ginni can hear)
As they meet up with Ginni. "That was great. You really are a great musician." He claps as he finishes. "I wish all your friends could hear your performance. They would all be so proud of you."
"Well...he might not have been coerced. The mental state he was in...freaked out about commitment and worrying that he didn't deserve to be happy...it wouldn't have taken more than a nudge, especially if she was delivering that nudge by manipulating his emotions.

"So...we think this Kara woman is some kind of...demon? Or working with one?"
Phaezeriel nods, ::Yes, my first thought was some kind of succubus. Ace said he would do some divination later today, since we cannot get anymore information directly.::
As they meet up with Ginni. "That was great. You really are a great musician." He claps as he finishes. "I wish all your friends could hear your performance. They would all be so proud of you."
Mel whispers to Dom while Ginni is listening.
I'm sure they will, I recorded the song. she's listening to the playback now
Whispering back. "I'm sure they will and I know they'll love it. Hopfully this will help her stage fright also." Dom turns to Ace. "I bet your rather proud of Ginni. As you should be. She has an amazing talent."
After the horse ride and the horses all disappear Lang looks to everyone.
I have some stuff I need to do so I can get all of us to ride the giant owls. then you can meet Simba he's my owl that I raised ever since he hatched. I couldn't bring him to the school so he lives back home at the temple.
Lang bows to all of his friends before departing to find Ephebe.
"Bye horsies!" Sara calls to her equestrian friends as they vanish.
"Aww. Baby owls. Cute."
She hugs Lang as he leaves.
"Bye."
:)
"Bye Lang." Zilla calls to him. She gracefully walks over to Sara. "Thank you for the ride. It was over nice."
"It's OK. I had fun and I liked spending time with my new friends. I didn't have anyone my age back home."
"Yeah good idea Sara, uh what should we do now?"
Ace gets a bit of a big, goofy grin on his face, "I am Dom, I really am. This should do wonders for her, in a variety of ways. Melody, if this does indeed help her, I am in your debt."
