Rahz Endoril's page

As Johnny and Renkai fled from the hallway, Rahz remained where he was, writing away in his notebook about the results, grinning to himself. The noise of the pen running along the paper was also affected by the Event, but since it was such a light noise, only those who were really paying attention to it could hear it...if they were about 50 feet away.

Then without further adieu, let's see what happens here...

1d100 ⇒ 65

Perceptions of sounds are oddly distorted. Any noise within a 200 ft. + CL radius can still be heard, but as if they occur a great distance away. Someone talking with someone next to them may sound as if they’re shouting from across the hall, for example. This lasts for CL minutes.

So, in 216 ft., for 16 minutes, noise is rather odd; like everyone is able to throw their voice like a ventriloquist. Anyone who wants to partake in this nonsense, just act as if what you're saying is all wonky and cool.

It was a free period for Rahz, and he was bored. He also had an itch that wouldn't stop, and he knew only one cure for it; however, he knew that if he scratched it, he'd potentially reveal a little too much about himself. He found himself wandering the halls, looking for anything interesting as he listened to the wind.

As he listened, though, he heard something that was certainly interesting; like drops hitting the floor, but with a rather distinct sound. Following it, he stumbled upon Renkai from behind as he was dripping his magic candle; obviously a magic item. Oh, how the temptation was strong...just one little attempt couldn't hurt, could it?

After he was hidden safely behind a corner, but still rather close to Renkai, Rahz readied himself, took in a silent, deep breath, then used his revelation to trigger a Primal Magic Event. Instead of a drop of magical wax, something rather insane and fun was about to happen.

I'd prefer not to have Rahz immediately caught, but if you truly want to attempt to ruin my day, I'll make a stealth check, anyway. 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (9) + 34 = 43

And Lyn, it's just a d100 roll to determine what happens, right? Or does something else need to happen? I probably should've gotten that answer before doing this. >w>

Vai can't beat your bluff on a natural 20 even if you roll a 1... even if we ascribe the -5 penalty for something hard to believe... so we'll just leave it at that. XD

"Strange... but strange things happen here I guess." Vai shrugs, going to finish packing away her things, and then moving to leave. "Oh, you're waiting on me. Sorry." she steps a bit quicker, out of the classroom. "Erm. I'd invite you to have lunch, but I've actually got another class during lunch. Which I should be getting to. Sorry. Good to meet you Rahz. Good luck at Avalon!" Unless Rahz stops her, Vai will turn away with a wave and head down to the lunchtime training room she shared with Fei. She was excited to see him, and it was only mid-day.

Note...Vai is gullible as a half-wit Dwarf...

"Strange just seems to be a normal part of my life," Rahz said in response; true, though it was mostly by design. "Thank you for the wishes; perhaps we'll be seeing more of each other."

If Rahz had it his way, of course, she wouldn't know he was seeing her, as the best of experiments were always done in secret. As they walked away from each other, though, he was very tempted to send some Prying Eyes with her, the same as he did with Tyrrin; thinking about it made him remember why most elves tended to hate Sylphs, what with all the spying and trying to learn all about them and whatnot. He refrained, though; Vai didn't seem to be as secretive as Tyrrin, so no need to gain knowledge of what she did and where she went. Instead, he just headed to the lunch room and picked up a light lunch, just a sandwich with a thin slice of ham and cheese, and some milk to drink. He was getting the urge, though, to cause an event that he would always be willing to study...but he knew that he had to resist that, as well.

Vai jumps as the crash breaks her concentration. "What in the?" she looks around the classroom, seeking the source of the noise. Nothing, and no one there. "What was that? Did you see anything Rahz?" Vai was walking over to where the noise originated. Nothing breakable over here, just books... and still all on the shelf.

Still putting on his act and spouting in Abyssal, he just shook his head as he said, "No," in Abyssal and then emulated himself taking deep breaths to calm down. However, he also pulled out his notebook and pen and started to write, though he didn't whisper to himself this time.

After acting like he was calmed down, he stored his notebook and pen away again, glad to see that his experiment went well, and his hypothesis was tested and results were gathered. It would have to be done again, though, in a different situation, as all experiments should be done. "Well, it's over, I think," he lied. "Maybe it's just lunch time."

That unnerved Vai a little. Rahz seemed like he was trying to keep track of everything around him. Maybe she's misheard him. "I'm sorry? Learn about me? Well, I suppose I should keep some secrets. Someone told me something about 'feminine allure' once. I dunno though. Secrets have a way of getting out anyway." Vai was packing away her stuff, knowing that she had her lunchtime training session, but also not wanting to alienate a new student who seemed like he was gonna have trouble making friends. He was kinda weird. Weird didn't mean bad though.

"Figure of speech," he explained as basically as he wished; no need to go into how he was a Sylph, and he had a knack for spying on everyone. "I wouldn't know anything about feminine allure," Rahz said very plainly as he started to walk off, though he decided not to totally leave Vai behind; may as well be courteous, if only for this once. It seemed like it would net him better opportunities to experiment on her, though...and maybe there was one shot he could take. It didn't go well the first time, but maybe a different sound with a different setting would net results.

While Vai was still packing away her stuff, Rahz cast Ghost Sound and targeted the other side of the classroom, and decided on a loud, resounding CRASH! sound, as if someone dropped several glass items from a rack. Upon the noise being sounded, he did his part of the minor experiment by acting like it startled him, and he started to talk and ask questions in Abyssal; if nothing else, he knew his own curse well enough to emulate it when necessary.

"Ug." Vai exclaimed as soon as the Professor had left the classroom, flopping on her desk in mock exhaustion. "Like it's ever going to matter if we know who won the battle of Springmaiden Vale. Why'd we spend so much time on it?"

Rahz didn't seem to notice Vai's comment as he continued to write away, as if he'd never run out of things to jot down, and things to whisper in Gnoll. However, after a few more words, he closed the notebook and stored both it and his pen as he stood up, a slight breeze whooshing upwards alongside him.

"So you kept your word and came to talk to me after all," he said, a small smile on his lips. "I guess I won't have to rely on the wind to learn anything about you, hm?"

"She's a friend of mine.. haven't seen her for a couple months. She's supposed to be some sort of princess back on the Air plane, but Iunno. She's just Nasima." It was at that point that the teacher came into class. "I'll talk to you after class alright?" she said as she got her notebooks and pens out.

Feel free to fast forward us to the end of class Rahz ;)

"Oh, wouldn't know for sure," he said as soon as it was revealed to him that Nasima was a princess on the Plane of Air. "Politics are boring, no matter what the plane. Very much not worth my time."

As the class started, then Vai said that she would talk to him after class, Rahz was a bit unsure how to take it; she must've had something planned. Was it to find out what his experiments were? No, no, she couldn't possibly care anything about that...either way, he started to write more notes, whispering this time in Gnoll, and writing in the same language.

Will be taking that offer and will be skipping ahead, assuming no time paradoxes occur

Again, having hardly paid attention to the subject in hand, Rahz was still sitting where he was, whispering and writing in Gnoll, several experiments having been written down for later dates, as well as a few character notes on the teacher.

"Rahz Endoril," Rahz introduced himself in return, though it may have sounded as if it was rehearsed. He felt a little irked and disturbed as Vai studied him a bit, though, or seemed to be. Then she asked her question, and he was a bit relieved; it was obvious she just thought he looked like someone.

"No, can't say I recognize the name," he said after just a few seconds, truly not knowing who she was talking about. "Is that someone you think I should know?"

Doing his best to resist all temptations, Rahz didn't immediately start writing in his notebook as Vai kept trying to converse with him; he instead just started to take mental notes so that he could write them down later. This one would certainly prove useful, if she had as many friends as her willingness to converse with complete strangers implied.

"Yes, very new," he said, the blue swirls on his skin starting to die down with his own emotions. "Arrived her just this morning after staying in the town...Kuros, is it called? Just seemed like this would be the place to learn and...well, observe."

Not wanting to have even a remote chance of his experiments being leaked, Rahz quickly closed his notebook, keeping his pen inside it so that he didn't lose his place. Rather defensive, he quickly spouted out in Abyssal.

Taking a breath after that, he just offered a small smile, little blue swirls shining on his skin under his hood. "It's just some private notes for later," he explained, calm and casual in Common.

Rahz didn't even look up at Vai as she spoke to him for a few moments, instead writing down a few more notes in more Aklo, while also whispering in it.

After finishing his quick bit of notes, he looked up at Vai and shook his head. "Totally fine," he said in Common. "Just wasn't looking where I was going; all fault of my own."

Hardly paying attention to anything, having memorized the way after studying the map, Rahz walked into History of Agartha while still writing up a storm in his notebook, having seen too many good test subjects that would prove to both be challenging, and rewarding to study. He was whispering this time in Aklo, and writing in the same language.

Having not paid attention, though, he found himself tripping over a chair, and he fell on his front, keeping his face from hitting the stone floor. Quickly getting back up to his feet and retrieving his pen and notepad, he started to spout of in Abyssal, unable to stop himself.

And after he was done with his little tirade, he took his seat at a desk and started to write away again as if nothing had happened. Too many experiments to be planned out to worry too much about it.

Rahz is still in Magical Theory, just waiting for it to start, though now that I think about it, probably won't start, what with Salis out of commission with arrow wounds. Guess there's a reason I haven't been posting, other than the shoulder injury.

Fair enough, fair enough.

Check was just to identify you as a Sylph.

Taking the notes-writing in stride, Tyrrin simply nods in understanding. "I do not believe such a club exists... you are welcome to try to start one, if you so desire. For now though, I think it best if we head to our next class. Professors don't like it when you are late. It's a respect thing."

With that, Tyrrin turns and walks out of the class. She was honestly a little unsettled by what she'd seen and heard. Good thing she was bluffing about having class. This was her study hall period... and she had promised Jaiye that she would speak with the Headmaster today. No better time than now I suppose.

Rahz had no intentions of being late, and did not really feel the need to be reminded. As Tyrrin walked away, though, he felt that it would be rather necessary to have eyes on her, as she would be a rather useful test subject, and he needed to know just what her typical norm was so that he could better manipulate it for experiments. He cast Prying Eyes, and instructed them in Ignan to follow Tyrrin around; 2 in each of whatever pockets she may have, and a few just barely over her shoulders, then return in 10 hours.

I'll roll any Stealth checks if need be.

After making sure the eyes went off to do their thing, sure that at least five eyes would not be detected, and he would have what he needed to know before the end of the day, he left to go to his next class, taking out his map to find the Magical Theory class.

Tyrrin has a very specific curse... the "Seer's Curse". She can't sleep well, and so almost always has the fatigued condition. It doesn't grant combat bonuses either, just some precognition of sorts.

Knowledge (Planes): 1d20+25

"I believe that paying attention to the class would be more about respect, both for your instructor and your fellow classmates. I didn't realize that Sylphs were so short-lived as to forgo a basic thing like that. My apologies." Again, there's a hint of sarcasm in her voice, and a... 'professional' smile on her face.

"There are a few clubs dedicated to crafting... and I believe you'll have to elaborate on... 'people who like to observe'. For example, I will be starting a club for people who like to observe the stars. You'll understand my need for specificity."

Well, that doesn't sound very useful, but reasons are reasons. Speaking of, what was the reason for the Check?

Rahz just seemed to shrug off the comments, not really interested in respecting those he didn't really know or care about. That just seemed like something that would get in the way more often than not. Mentioning the clubs, though, and how she would need him to elaborate, he quickly thought again on how best to describe the type of observation he required in the club to be the theme, yet not denote his true intentions so that it may jeopardize anything he attempted in the future.

"Something like...sentient behavior," he said, making sure to be careful with his words. Not waiting for a reply, though, he felt the need to return to his notepad and started to write and whisper in Ignan once again.

After his quick bit of writing and whispering, he looks back up to her as if nothing was amiss, which he felt there truly wasn't anything wrong with his notes.

Though I've never actually chosen languages, I don't think I could justify her learning Ignan, given that she only has 8 languages. Curse myself for not taking Linguistics!

How strange. I wonder if he's missing something in his head.

"The logical choice indeed. Avalon is a wonderful place to learn. Especially if you pay attention in class." Tyrrin finished, a little sarcastically, making a strange pairing with the friendly smile on her face.

"If you have any questions about the school, or the procedures here, please feel free to ask me. I am available any time I am awake... which is quite often these days." Tyrrin's grin turned sly at the end, as if she'd just told a joke.

Well, the Tongues Oracle Curse has its use. :P

"Paying attention would ruin my thought process," Rahz said bluntly, acting as if he didn't denote the sarcasm. "Besides, illusion is well-known to me; the first day is review, so why listen to what I already know when there's...better things I could do with my time?"

Upon her questioning, though, he started to think about what she may be useful for...well, other than helping him with his experiments. He tapped his pen rapidly on the top of the desk for a few moments before he thought of something that may benefit him. "Are there any clubs that may help with crafting, such as dolls, perhaps?" he asked, eyes suddenly hopeful. "And maybe one that has people who like to observe?"

After Tyrrin had greeted him, Rahz didn't look up for a while, still writing away and whispering to himself at his desk. His words remained in Ignan as he wrote, which he did for a few more seconds.

After his last line, he looked up at Tyrrin and studied her for a bit before speaking in Common. "Rahz Endoril," he completed her attempt to name him. "Yes, I am new, just got here this morning. Here at Avalon because it seemed like the logical choice to...learn."

A slight bit of hesitation in his voice could be picked up, though it could be interpreted as either a need to pick the right word, or mask another.

Rahz was just in the advanced illusions class, not even paying attention to the teacher and instead whispering and writing in his notebook about possible experiments he could conduct while the class was going on when he felt something wrong with the raw magical energy somewhere close by. It interested him slightly, but he figured that the wind would tell him what happened, and so he resumed writing and whispering in Ignan.

Rahz will be in Magical Theory at some point; I just plopped him in advanced illusion because...well, Raelle was there and I didn't know where I should've put him. >w>

Giving himself plenty of time, Rahz had really only organized all the materials and components he would need to start making the new doll before he headed out to class, but it was still worth it; when he really had the time to work on it, everything would already be nice and orderly. It made him worry a little bit that the room seemed almost too well-suited for his dolls, but he didn't wish to worry about it; if it was intentional, then whoever designed his room was an ally.

Following the map quickly, Rahz made his way to the advanced illusions class with several minutes left to spare. He didn't really want to take the class, as he already was superb with the illusions he wished to cast, but perhaps he could still learn something, anyway. He noticed that the girl from the cafeteria was there, too, but he didn't care; he doubted that he was pointed out by the boy and thus wouldn't be subject to questioning.

Well, I'm tired and not in much need to post, apparently, so I'm going to bed. Lyn, I hope you can get to my PM, but if you can't, I guess no big deal.

Well, back, and it seems the rush hasn't ended...not much for Rahz to do, anyway.

Oh, and Lyn, you probably already knew, but also been sitting on a PM of mine the entire time I was away.

As unfortunate as it is right now, I'm being whisked away by real life, so I'm going to miss whatever happens during this rush. If classes start while I'm away, just pretend that Rahz makes it to his on time (whether it's Botany or Magical Theory, unless neither are going on, then just something else), and if something goes on that he'd obviously be interested in, please make sure that it could allow for a retcon without much hassle.

Finishing up his breakfast and not really interested in whatever else is going on in the cafeteria, Rahz just puts his tray away and walks out, looking at his map. Seeing that it would still be quite a while before he would have to go to his first class, he decided to head back to his room and started to work on yet another one of his special dolls. He'd of course only get barely started, but it was something to do instead of just wandering around, looking quite the fool.

As Raelle looked around briefly and Dave looked over at him and waved, Rahz noted the glowing eyes that Dave had, and then went back to writing in his notes, whispering to himself this time in Gnoll.

After he finished writing up the results, Rahz closed the notebook and resumed eating as if nothing had happened; to him, nothing truly happened, as his hypothesis was wrong, and it was just mundane to him to conduct his own experiments.

While he was eating, Rahz took notice of two people eating; seemed like a guy and a girl, perhaps dating, but maybe just friends (Dave and Raelle). Perhaps...well, there certainly wouldn't be any harm in just a little experiment, would there?

Taking out his notebook and his pen, and started to write out his experiment and his hypothesis, then put a little space for where he would put the results. He whispered to himself, but ever wary and with the help of the curse he bore, he made sure to whisper in Terran.

With his writing done and his hypothesis set, he was ready to start the experiment and gather his results. Making perfectly sure that he was completely out of their line of sight, he quietly cast the cantrip and next to Dave and Raelle, the faint sound of a fire burning sounded, as if there may be a campfire nearby.

I'm giving into peer pressure and heading to bed, as well. Should anyone find any reason to interact with Rahz, just PM me to let me know so I don't miss it, and I'll get to it when I can tomorrow.

"Well, it's still pretty early, so if you want to take your things to your room(it shows up on the map, second floor) you can have plenty of time to eat breakfast before classes start. Avalon has a kitchen staff that is second to none." What they headmaster doesn't say is that the kitchen staff deserves every raise they ask for too. Nothing like keeping a couple hundred students happy and well-fed. Especially the Avalon variety.

"Oh, well, I don't have much, but I guess I can check out my room, anyway," Rahz said as he got up and nodded to the headmaster. "Thanks for setting me up, and I'm sure you'll hear about me soon." The Sylph wasn't anything if not confident.

Following the map that he was given, Rahz was more than able to find his room, and when he looked inside, he felt it was...not everything that he wanted, but it certainly was a rather adequate space. Perfect desk for him to sit at and review his notes, a chart where he could write experiments and record results, the walls a pale shade of white...aall it needed were subjects to experiment on, but maybe that was asking too much.

Satisfied with his room, he looked at the map again and decided to make his way to the cafeteria. As he walked through the doors, another slight breeze blew through the place, though he didn't seem to mind. Heading through the line, he got just a light breakfast, and headed to a table with not too many people, yet a great vantage point for looking at any potential subjects, or maybe just someone who would be great for spying on.

"Take your pick, Mr. Endoril. You'll find people behave differently in History of Agartha than they do in Botany. There are plenty of clubs to choose from, and several classes that may be of more interest than your classmates behavior. You seem to be a bit more focused than the typical new student, so why don't you look at this list and mark which ones you'd like to take for reasons other than.. I believe the term is people-watching?" He slids a sheet of paper with the various classes on it over to Rahz. "You can have six classes, or five and a study period. Basic P.E. is required for all students, unless the choose to take Advanced Physical Education."

This is me handwaving the class selection because, honestly, I do find that the more boring part of enrollment. :/

"A map of the school will be provided, but if you find yourself lost and it's no help, you can always ask another student or teacher for help. If no one else is around, simply touch a wall, think of your destination, and follow the flashing arrows that will appear. Now, last question. Are you open to the idea of having a roommate? I've got a few other students who had roommates that graduated or left last semester, so there are some openings."

Rahz just nodded and looked the list over, and seemed a bit more interested in Botany and Magical Theory than anything else, though he soon made his decisions for three more classes, then a study period. Even for basic P.E., he wasn't looking forward to it, but maybe there were ways around it...or ways to make it worthwhile.

"Oh, well, that's interesting," he said as he took the map and heard about the walls. Then the subject of a roommate came up, and Rahz thought about it; while there could be potential in having...well, someone easy to experiment on, it could hurt him with his...other endevours. "No...I work better alone," he said, making his decision. "So, when do I start and what should I do?"

The headmaster leans in a bit.

"Enroll as a student."

Rahz just blinked a few times, then sat back properly in his chair. That...was it? "Well, I was going to do that anyway," he said a bit slowly, and it was very apparent his excitement had lowered quite a considerable amount; was the headmaster not able to perceive the obvious? "Surely...you meant to tell me about any classes or clubs that may be of interest to me?"

"You want to learn about people's minds and reactions? As long as none of your experiments harm any students or staff members, I have an idea."

Rahz leaned in a littler closer, just barely able to control his excitement, which was a bit more important to him that it was to most other people; he had consequences. "Oh, I never intentionally harm anyone," he said, though the latter part of his sentence had a bit of Abyssal mixed in. "What's this idea of yours?"

Without delay, Rahz walked into the headmaster's office and took a seat, eager to learn what may be in store for him. As he sat, though, a small breeze ruffled his clothes. "Oh, yes, of course," he said in response to the headmaster's comment. "I suppose you should know a little bit about me. Well, I suppose you already know what I am, and I'm not really that much different from my own kind..."

In shorter words than what Rahz chose to use, he basically told the headmaster that he was on the quest to observe several different types of behaviors that people tend to have under certain influences, though he made sure to keep himself very vague and not directly say what his experiments consisted of; he especially made sure to not mention anything about raw magical energy, and was very careful and very accurate in making sure he stayed away from the subject entirely.

"...and so I guess you could say I'm a sort of scientist interested in the psyche of individuals," he finally concluded. "So, what does the Academy have to offer for one of my interests and magical talent, then? I'm sure sorcerers are able to fit in quite nicely."

After just a few minutes of walking around, Rahz managed to find his way to the headmaster's office; it had to be, anyway. Making sure that no one was going to get in his way, he gave the door a few knocks and stood there for a bit, before calling out, "Headmaster? Rahz Endoril here, and I need to speak with you about my experi--I mean studies here."

The sun was barely starting to shine in the sky as the Sylph walked up to the doors of the Academy. Excitement filled him, as there were endless possibilities to be had. Not to mention that the night before, he had filled his pockets with plenty of money by selling the dolls he had saved up to the kind merchant who seemed rather interested in them. Perhaps he would have to investigate into that later, but he was sure he'd hear about it from the wind, anyway, whether he was there or not.

A little jingle in his pocket from all the silver and copper, as well as a gold piece, Rahz strained a bit to open the doors, but he managed to get in without too much hassle. It seemed that the rest of the school was just waking up, but perhaps that was too his advantage; he'd have to see the headmaster for any information, as was to be expected. Maybe even after he was done, there'd be something interesting to observe, or at least someone around he could conduct a quick, minor experiment on. Either way, he started to walk in the direction he at least suspected was the headmaster's office, as seemed to be the general way; the schools he had been in while he was still a part of society seemed to have them near the main entrance, so why would this be different?

I, too, am waiting, but not for the same reason.

Oh, dear, it looks like it would be a bad time to be riding the winds at that particular time, but...well, it certainly does look interesting. Perhaps the wind will have something to say about it on the 'morrow. >w>

Hey, Lyn, might as well remind you that you've been sitting on a PM from me for quite a while now; just a friendly reminder in case you had a response to it, but just forgot. Just asking about the finalization of the character and making sure that he's truly completed to satisfaction, fluff and all.

New character up and running, told by Lyn that all things are in order. I plan on letting him get..."acquainted" with a few people when the next day officially starts. Things should get rather fun. >:)
