He resumes work.
a few "hours" later, and you have fortified it to a degree safe enough to call a "home". It isn't too bad. Now you really should work on a way to sleep.
"You, stay within the halls and do not disturb me," he says to the dretch as he seals a chamber from the inside and begins to shape the stone into a suitable sleeping area.
the stone is rough, rust-like, and hard to lay on. It would be very unpleasant, but your think skin makes it so it isn't so bad.
He shapes the stone to be smoother, more comfortable.
it works just fine. The sim ends as you fall asleep. It seems to treat sleeping as a place for quitting the sim effectively, an easy way to register how healthy you are, and overall, basically, a quitting point, until you want to return.
He exits the sim and looks around, "That was rather odd."
"Oh! It's...the water is so clear!" she exclaimed forgetting all about dignity. "It's so deep here.....what is that?" she asked, pointing towards a coral outcropping with fish swimming around it.
"come look." Sheessuroussen says softly as the water starts rising, Ryleh feels a slight burning on her throat as gills open
"the reef is home to thousands of fish, yet this place has no pollution whatsoever that is why the water is pure.... Taste the water. It is fresh."
They enter the water fully, and he gently grips her hand, perhaps for comforting her.....
Karla noticed the room seemed to consist of mostly a female population, like some sort of party. One of the few males nearer to her turned and smiled. She placed the book in her satchel and was about to ask him something.
Seeing Dom looking thoroughly confused and perhaps a bit upset, Ace can't resist messing with him. He quickly shifts form into a rather attractive, tall redhead, with flowing hair and sparkly green eyes.
He saunters over to Dom and says in a very obvious female voice "What's a matter Dommie??, Are people making fun of you?" 'She' ask, concerned.
She witnessed the transformation and started laughing so hard, she fell to her knees, holding onto the doorframe to stay upright.
"Hahaha... Can't... Breathe..... HAHAHAHA!!!"
Fieri laughed. "Yep, she's got you pegged. You would have made an able courtier."
She nibbled on her charcoal. "As much as I'd like to believe that, being the result of deceitful and downright horrible actions myself and the fact that I rather enjoy existing, I don't think that good results can justify the actions of any of my grandparents. They got lucky now and then...doesn't make them good people. Doesn't make them a hundred percent bad either. Even Grandfather had his moments....but that won't take away from him being remembered for the evil he did during his lifetime."
"I'm not entirely sure that is a compliment." Ardiente responds smilingly to Fieri's comments about him being a courtier. "Besides, my blood wouldn't have allowed that, even before I discovered my true lineage."
"And I'll take lucky over the alternative every single time." Ardiente says after having nodded at Fieri's elaboration of her thoughts concerning her grandparents. "Here's an image that might cheer you up: your mother being loaded into a shuttle to be taken to the refugee camp, cramped in with all the commoners."
After a few moments, Ardiente looks at Fieri, realizing once again what he had just said. "I apologize if that was out of line. I'm still getting used to this 'say whatever you want' thing."
"No, Saffire isn't a construct. He's a living creature. With an inordinate fondness for fish...and metal. He eats my shuriken fairly regularly."
"Oh, no, I'm no wizard. I have no talent for arcane magic. I bonded with Saffire quite by accident actually. It's something that some of my family have a knack for in spite of not being actual spellcasters. I probably learned how when I was young and just forgot about it. I could teach someone the technique if they wanted. It's not too difficult."
"That is all very interesting. I am looking forward to meeting Michael-san, then." Repp says genuinely, falling into a silence for a couple moments before continuing: "You aren't, by chance, of the Akuma clan, Tanaka-senpai? I only know of one Tanaka family, and they are part of that clan of shinobi. I spent some time recently in your homeland and I heard a little of the war between your clan and the Amateru clan."
"Well then, let's go."
the teddy bear is eager to help.
Once they are settled in the sewing room, Midori starts to look around for where Ignace-chan had kept the fabric, looking specifically for the silks. "Ah... if this works, we'll have to make one for Chara-chan too. First we have to see if we can do it though. No point in ruining two dresses, ne?" Midori says with a bit of nervousness apparent in her voice. Still, she's obviously determined to at least make an attempt.
"Ah, here we go." Midori pulls out a bundle of bolts, spreading them out on the workbench for Sara to pick her favourite. "This one is what Ignace-chan used to make mine, and this pink one is Ignace-chan's, and this one over here is Zilla-chan's." Midori says, pointing out the various patterns that had already been used. "You said you wanted a green one Sara-rin?"
Vare looks to Ephebe after the other girls had departed, a serious expression on his face, his hand placed thoughtfully on his chin. "I could teleport us, if you'd like. I'd prefer not to waste my magic though, in case it is needed later today."
Jaiye looks like the reminder of what happened is still very painful to her, but she also has a certain stubbornness to her expression and when Ehos is finished explaining she takes his hand.
::You have a stout heart Jaiye.:: The High Seer's telepathic communication comes gently to Jaiye's mind, soft and tender, even though her outward expression is steely, looking at her son. She doesn't speak to the group yet, simply offering Jaiye comfort. ::My son has hurt you, tried to push you away in a roundabout fashion. That you still stand by him speaks as both a testament to your feelings for him, but also your resolve. A lesser woman might have become spiteful for being jilted in such a fashion. I am glad to see that you continue to impress me, and I hope you won't have any more opportunities to do so. My son does learn from his mistakes eventually.::
As Jaiye takes his hand, Ehos looks down at it and has to momentarily blink away tears, suddenly overcome with emotion for the woman at his side. He looks away, squeezing her hand slightly and takes another moment to compose himself before looking back to the Headmaster. ::Can you help? What should we do?:: Ehos asks, and there's still a hint of emotion in his telepathic voice.
Noticing the transformation out of the corner of his eye he though he was prepared for whatever Ace had up his sleeve. He realized he wasn't on the way to the floor. He tried sliding away slightly creeped out by the way Ace fell into the role so fast. Instead he fell to the ground. his face not red with embarrassment, he climbs to his feet. "Ok Ace that is just creepy. Um yah. Heh. Why did I end up the one being tortured here." He asks everyone with a distinct lack of seriousness.Seeing Dom looking thoroughly confused and perhaps a bit upset, Ace can't resist messing with him. He quickly shifts form into a rather attractive, tall redhead, with flowing hair and sparkly green eyes.
He saunters over to Dom and says in a very obvious female voice "What's a matter Dommie??, Are people making fun of you?" 'She' ask, concerned.
Ginni laughed and decided to rescue Dom. "Alright, sweetie, I think you've tortured him enough for one day," she sad, putting an arm around the waist of the now female Ace and giving 'her' a quick kiss on the mouth.
"Oh! It's...the water is so clear!" she exclaimed forgetting all about dignity. "It's so deep here.....what is that?" she asked, pointing towards a coral outcropping with fish swimming around it."come look." Sheessuroussen says softly as the water starts rising, Ryleh feels a slight burning on her throat as gills open
"the reef is home to thousands of fish, yet this place has no pollution whatsoever that is why the water is pure.... Taste the water. It is fresh."
They enter the water fully, and he gently grips her hand, perhaps for comforting her.....
Ryleh struggles to adjust for a moment as her mind tried to convince her that she couldn't breathe water while her body insisted that at the moment she most certainly could. But she was soon once more distracted by the new sights all around her.
::There are so many different kinds of fish! I didn't realize they came in quite so many varieties...or so colorful.::
::The water is indeed clean...it this planet uninhabited?::
"Now that's hawt," Morrivan said, referring to Ginni kissing the female version of Ace.
"Hey," she said, waving at the new arrival. "Well, obviously you at least appreciate Ace's sense of humor," she said with a grin.
"Shuttle Oh-nine, hold your course. Shuttle Oh Four, hold your pattern, dammit! You can take Shuttle Oh 5's spot after they depart...all shuttles, please handle the transport of passengers with patience..."
"Ok Boss, I'm loaded and ready to go..."
"I'm not entirely sure that is a compliment." Ardiente responds smilingly to Fieri's comments about him being a courtier. "Besides, my blood wouldn't have allowed that, even before I discovered my true lineage."
"And I'll take lucky over the alternative every single time." Ardiente says after having nodded at Fieri's elaboration of her thoughts concerning her grandparents. "Here's an image that might cheer you up: your mother being loaded into a shuttle to be taken to the refugee camp, cramped in with all the commoners."
After a few moments, Ardiente looks at Fieri, realizing once again what he had just said. "I apologize if that was out of line. I'm still getting used to this 'say whatever you want' thing."
"No, you're fine....it's an amusing picture. It's not what's happening though. Thanks to Grandfather's legacy, my mother is in danger if left among the common people, never mind that she was never allowed near politics and had no idea of the things he'd done. She had to be allowed to ride in the cockpit with the pilot...who happened to be James. Of course. She's....well, she was her usual pleasant self, but he says she's taking it all pretty hard."
"That is all very interesting. I am looking forward to meeting Michael-san, then." Repp says genuinely, falling into a silence for a couple moments before continuing: "You aren't, by chance, of the Akuma clan, Tanaka-senpai? I only know of one Tanaka family, and they are part of that clan of shinobi. I spent some time recently in your homeland and I heard a little of the war between your clan and the Amateru clan."
"Ah, yes, actually, although I am not a shinobi any longer myself. And I sincerely hope that the war between my family and the Amateru ends soon. I miss my family. I've been forbidden to visit until the war is over because they don't want me to get caught in the crossfire."
"Ah, here we are," she said, opening the door to a room. It looked to be all done in the style of her homeland. Michael was sitting cross-leggged in front of the low table with his books and notes spread around him. Haruka immediately padded inside and curled up on the futon. Saffire, a teacup size blue dragon, launched himself off of the shelf he's been perching on straight at Kitty who laughed as she caught him. "Yes, of course I brought fish, Saffire," she said. *MEEP* the little dragon crowed triumphantly.
"Michael, I brought lunch...and company. This is Repparyn. Repparyn-san, this is my boyfriend Michael."
Vare looks to Ephebe after the other girls had departed, a serious expression on his face, his hand placed thoughtfully on his chin. "I could teleport us, if you'd like. I'd prefer not to waste my magic though, in case it is needed later today."
"Let's just take the skimmer. It's a hovercar," she explained. "In case we end up bringing the child back with us, that will be much more convenient."
Jaiye looks like the reminder of what happened is still very painful to her, but she also has a certain stubbornness to her expression and when Ehos is finished explaining she takes his hand.::You have a stout heart Jaiye.:: The High Seer's telepathic communication comes gently to Jaiye's mind, soft and tender, even though her outward expression is steely, looking at her son.

I am glad to see that you continue to impress me, and I hope you won't have any more opportunities to do so. My son does learn from his mistakes eventually.::
Jaiye looks at her with gratitude and then has to look away to blink back tears. She hadn't expected to be comforted and while it was a pleasant surprise she wasn't entirely sure how to deal with it.
"Shuttle Oh-nine, hold your course. Shuttle Oh Four, hold your pattern, dammit! You can take Shuttle Oh 5's spot after they depart...all shuttles, please handle the transport of passengers with patience..."
"Ok Boss, I'm loaded and ready to go..."
"Alright, head on down, Sunbeam...I'll go back to directing the circus here."
"Roger."
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, please sit back and enjoy the flight, I'll have you on the ground safe and sound..."
He flies the shuttle with much more restraint and control than you'd expect. No sudden liftoffs, hard turns...just smooth.
"I think I'll agree with Morrivan there." Dom Chimed after getting to his feet. He slipped over to Tami, hoping Tami might be a bit sympathetic to him. After reaching her side Dom he wrapped his arms around her from behind and returned his gaze to Taron "So Taron are you using a polymorph effect like Ace, or am I just completely wrong on both accounts? I do wish you would have said you were actually a guy before I kissed your hand. I guessing that was what all this is about at least I think." Dom's confused expression started to return as he asked his questions.
He still tried to act friendly to the new comer but also was kind wanted to hear that they were just teasing him about Taron being a guy originally.
"Hey..." Tryko'Sam says while walking along with the two girls, "The bottom line is, we don't know one another, and if the s$!# hits the fan, what's the plan, Stan? I wanna be prepared, see? So-- this is my way of learning whether you're good at leading or what not. Maybe Rena's the bad ass war caller, or something? You seem like a mixture of tricks, Vai-- while, Rena? No idea, 'cept for chomping things with your big teeth, right? Or do you breath energy blasts too?"
As they reached the front doors, he opens them for the two and says, "Bring your sword if you want, we can hang here, no problem. I'm not looking for a fight-- but, from what I've noticed of the people here so far, everyone's ready to jump into one, like, straight away. You didn't see what a bunch of younger kids were doing earlier this morning. Crazy s~+!." He's got a bit of a scowl on his face from that experience.
"So, I'll chill here with Rena, just be ready, is all I'm saying. I've never used a melee weapon before, so that's kind of out. Basic club maybe, but ... I don't have a bat."
Tryko'Sam stands there at the front, dusts off his pants for a second, then examines his pirate like shirt that he has on, of a darker blue. He's dressed fairly decently-- not for any odd weather though. Belt pouch to help hold up his pants, black leather boots.
"Thanks." Vai says as she slips through the door being held open for her.
"Yeah, I've got a little of everything. Some magic, I've been learning fencing, and I am a dragon too, that's helpful." She says with a smirk. She's dressed in the standard school uniform - a white blouse with a red tie at the neck, and a knee-length green skirt, but she seems to have forgone the green vest that also seems to be part of the uniform. She's wearing long stockings and shoes that don't look particularily suited to fighting - just black flats. The top is pretty loose and doesn't really hint at her figure - especially with her somewhat small chest. With what Tryko'Sam has seen thus far though, she's pretty atheltic.
"Alright, I'll grab my sword. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by warcaller though... either way. Usually when we get into big fights we just kinda do our own thing. Probably not the best way of doing things, but oh well. Seems to have worked for us in the past." Vai says with a noncommital shrug. Maybe not a born leader, for all her charisma. "Alright, I'll be right back then. Hopefully we won't need weaposn though, but I wasn't planning on fighting demons this morning either, so you're right about being prepared." With a small burst of light (not enough to be blinding or painful), Vai is gone.

"Something like that, Dom, though far more complicated and impossible for anyone else to reverse. I apologize for not telling you, but had I known you kissed the hand of every pretty face... well, I still might not have told you."
"Well then, let's go."
the teddy bear is eager to help.Once they are settled in the sewing room, Midori starts to look around for where Ignace-chan had kept the fabric, looking specifically for the silks. "Ah... if this works, we'll have to make one for Chara-chan too. First we have to see if we can do it though. No point in ruining two dresses, ne?"

"Ah, here we go." Midori pulls out a bundle of bolts, spreading them out on the workbench for Sara to pick her favourite. "This one is what Ignace-chan used to make mine, and this pink one is Ignace-chan's, and this one over here is Zilla-chan's." Midori says, pointing out the various patterns that had already been used. "You said you wanted a green one Sara-rin?"
"We can try. Let's wait to tell Chara until after we know if we can do it or not. That way if we can't she won't be disappointed."
She looks over the fabrics."I like this one." She picks one with a green base and darker green pattern in the design of vines with pink blossoms scattered throughout it.
"Something like that, Dom, though far more complicated and impossible for anyone else to reverse. I apologize for not telling you, but had I known you kissed the hand of every pretty face... well, I still might not have told you."
"I really need to keep on guard here. At least I already found the one for me. Wait.. Tami did you used to be a guy to? Not that it matters now." He teases Tami. Obviously he has started coming to terms with what has been going on. Though he probably also still believes Ace uses some sort of spell.
"Something like that, Dom, though far more complicated and impossible for anyone else to reverse.

Though he probably also still believes Ace uses some sort of spell.
Tami laughed. "No, melnestae, I've always been female. Just as you have apparently always been a flirt," she teased back.
"I've got a spell I was saving in case we got caved in and needed to get through the stone quick. We could use it to check the area a little."
"I haven't used any disintegrate spells yet, I could throw a few of them at it when we get there"
With a small burst of light (not enough to be blinding or painful), Vai is gone.
"Well, that's sort of what I figured..." Tryko'Sam says to where Vai had been just moments prior, then looks over at Rena.
>> Looks like tons of people here can just teleport. That's handy. <<
"You okay getting into a fight if needed, oh 11 year old?" Playfully asked, he chuckles and stands there, happy to wait for Vai's return while chatting with the winged serpent.
"come look." Sheessuroussen says softly as the water starts rising, Ryleh feels a slight burning on her throat as gills open"the reef is home to thousands of fish, yet this place has no pollution whatsoever that is why the water is pure.... Taste the water. It is fresh."
They enter the water fully, and he gently grips her hand, perhaps for comforting her.....
Ryleh struggles to adjust for a moment as her mind tried to convince her that she couldn't breathe water while her body insisted that at the moment she most certainly could. But she was soon once more distracted by the new sights all around her.
::There are so many different kinds of fish! I didn't realize they came in quite so many varieties...or so colorful.::
::The water is indeed clean...it this planet uninhabited?::
Sheess looks at Ryleh confused "you are observing the inhabitants.... Those fish are all living here."
Ryleh will be easily able to figure out that sheess makes no distinction between humanoid and fish
"Here. Let me see these."
He looks at the maps played out on the table. "So if this is that. Scale here. Line there. Tunnel here. This is this shade that means the big area is _____"
::The water is indeed clean...it this planet uninhabited?::
Sheess looks at Ryleh confused "you are observing the inhabitants.... Those fish are all living here."
Ryleh will be easily able to figure out that sheess makes no distinction between humanoid and fish
::Ah...I meant sentient creatures...something one could have a conversation with. I don't particularly count fish. Even if you try to read their thoughts, it's pretty much just brief impressions of hunger and fear. Such creatures would be incapable of producing much in the way of pollution.::
Karla calmed down from her laughing fit and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I only heard a small portion, but it now makes sense," she said. She glanced at the 'female' Ace. "Thank you for that. I haven't laughed like that in a very long time," she said with a smile.
well after hearing you play, and your style is much like my own. I was thinking maybe, you and Ace wouldd rather join Vai, and me in our own band. Its alright if you don't, but i do like your music and i'm sure we could come up with some great stuff together.
Ace kisses his girlfriend back, though its just a bit longer than a quick kiss. He's clearly putting on a show.
After breaking the kiss, he opts to stay in female form, enjoying messing with Dom "So whatcha think babe? Shall we join up with Melody? I kinda like the idea of a mostly all girl band. Hells, I can take this form whenever we play, so it really would be an all girl band."
Upon hearing the new girl's comments, he curtsies perfectly, and smiles prettily "Glad I could help make ya laugh. I'm Casil, or Ace. Who might you be?"
"Sorry I didn't answer you right away, Mel," Ginni says apologetically. "Your brother needed...you know, I'm not sure if I should say rescuing or more picking on," she added thoughtfully, followed by an impish smile.
"I think that's a great idea actually. I really appreciate Dom inviting me to join his band, but I think I would be much more comfortable with you and Vai and Ace...and I think our styles do mesh well. Sorry Dom. But I'm gonna take Melody up on her offer."
"Vai plays? I never would have guessed." Taron chimes in.
"Yeah, Fi has been teaching her to play the harp. She's gotten pretty good."
Dom let a slight revealed sigh. When Tami didn't join in to the teasing. "♫ I've got to be me. ♫" He sings out joking.
After hearing Ginni turn down his invitation. He looks to her with a smile. "No don't worry I understand. Being able to feel comfortable with your band is a must. Besides I'm sure I'll play with you guys from time to time." Slowly he turns to the new girl in the room (Karla). "If you like I'm going to perform a little bit. So you can stick around and listen or talk to everyone." He gives her a wink. If he wasn't holding Tami in his arms when he did the wink would have almost came across as a bit flirty.

there are sentient species here as well, some smarter than others..." Sheess says simply
"This has been fun, but I'm afraid it's going to wear off soon."
"Yeah, I know..." He says sadly, gliding to the ground and landing. "I liked flying while carrying you."
"Settro can probobly help with that. We could probobly try that again sometime."
she shakes a bit as her transformation wears off, returning to her normal self.
"I'd like that." The potion wears off and he shrinks back down to a human boy. "Or we could bth fly! We could play tag!"
"Michael, I brought lunch...and company. This is Repparyn. Repparyn-san, this is my boyfriend Michael."
"Oh! Hi, Kitty!" He looks up quickly, smiling. The left half of his bangs have gone from brown to rust red. "Hello to you too, Repparyn. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah... I'm going to go to my room and try to see if i can control that... Thing in my head better... I'd... Like it if you came."
