You have just entered room "getinthepit."
Besyanteo: *lands on Manda*
Besyanteo: *ow. 330 fat white guy jsut fell on you. What do you do?!*
Besyanteo: >_
Besyanteo: pound*
Besyanteo: dammit
Kelne2261 has entered the room.
J4deninj44: *rapes Bes*
Lithaladhwen: Hey people.
J4deninj44: For falling on her.
J4deninj44: **
Lithaladhwen: Hey! No raping until we decide a setting!
Besyanteo: x.x
Besyanteo: I regret nothing!
Besyanteo: Hm.
Besyanteo: How do people feel about second gen gunnir?
J4deninj44: I could fudge something.
Kelne2261: Sounds good.
Lithaladhwen: When Charles logs on we should be able to drag him in, too.
Lithaladhwen: Quillan was being sent back to Gunnir.
Besyanteo: Hee.
Besyanteo: *signs* So what happens now~?
Lithaladhwen: We wait for Brian.
Besyanteo: Righto
J4deninj44: I think I'm going to be a demon for this one...
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
Besyanteo: blarg. brb. can't be avoided.
J4deninj44: Hail and greetings, Brian "Tough as my last name says" Ford.
Arch mage144: My last name also demonstrates that I am slow and need fixed or repaired daily.
J4deninj44: Sshhh, no one need know that.
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. Bes is the master of revels tonight.
Arch mage144: Well. Whenever he wants to revel, I'm ready for revelling.
Lithaladhwen: I have two characters at Gunnir! Three1
Lithaladhwen: *!
Arch mage144: We're looking at what, second gen at Gunnir?
Lithaladhwen: Two teachers and a girl who hangs out there sometimes.
Kelne2261: Just the one here, but I daresay one who could use a little more screen-time.
J4deninj44: .... THere's a saloon in my game named..."Booze and Cookies".
CGNakibe has entered the room.
Besyanteo: Yarr.
CGNakibe: Rar?
Kelne2261: Arr.
Besyanteo: Ashley: This isn't actually one of the guided sessions I was telling you about before. I'm just over anxious to get Michael to Gunnir. Hee.
Besyanteo: There. Got Headphones. Should I start us off?
J4deninj44: Please.
Besyanteo: <RP>
Besyanteo: *It's a few days since our last session! Spring Break is almost up, and folks are flocking back to Gunnir, to avoid missing classes because of things like foul weather*
Besyanteo: *There's no class, and half the student body is gone, but there's still plenty of people hanging around the various common areas, libraries, and other places*
Besyanteo: (Feel free to start off and stuff)
Besyanteo: *Michael is here! If you don't know him, he looks pretty much like a younger Jeridan, in blue pants and a white shirt today*
Besyanteo: IM: ... It's huge. o_o
J4deninj44: *ziiiiiiiiips across the room under a shelf*
Besyanteo: *he practically leaps aside* Ah!
Besyanteo: *a half dozen people look over. A familiar look passes through them. "Freshmen."*
J4deninj44: Rrrrrrrrrr!
Besyanteo: <_<;; *sorta.. staring at the zippy person*
Besyanteo: ... Hi?
Arch mage144: (Are you two in a classroom or what?)
Besyanteo: (I'm not sure. I was going to describe the courtyard,)
Besyanteo: (And then AManda had us in a room)
Besyanteo: (Wit ha shelf!)
Besyanteo: (Manda? :o)
Lithaladhwen: (I thought it was the library.)
Lithaladhwen: (We should be in there.)
Besyanteo: (We can do this!)
Lithaladhwen: *A woman of about thirty with white-blonde hair curling around her shoulders enters the library with a pile of papers and parchment. She's wearing a beige knee-length skirt and a cream-colored blouse with heels. Teacher maybe?*
J4deninj44: *two red eyes glare at everyone in the room*
Kelne2261: *You get all sorts in Gunnir. One of those sorts is a young elf with fiery orange hair and matching eyes. He seems to be examining a large, dusty tome.*
Lithaladhwen: *Students here might recognize the teacher as a Miss Alya Fairburn, one of the psionics professors.*
Besyanteo: ... *backs away, yes. Let's go sit at a table... far away from the glowing red eyes*
Lithaladhwen: *looks around and finally lays eyes on Michael*
Lithaladhwen: *she approaches and lays a hand on his shoulder* Excuse me. Are you all right
Lithaladhwen: *?
Besyanteo: Er. Yeah... Uhm. Is that normal? *points*
Lithaladhwen: *doesn't even check to see what he's pointing at*
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Besyanteo: ...
Lithaladhwen: Try not to worry about it too much.
Besyanteo: ... Alright. <.<;
Arch mage144: *seated on a bench against the wall is a man in his mid-40's wearing a set of black robes with red and gold trim and an enormous and ostentatious white fur collar...and he's even wearing a huge red musketeer hat. Indoors, no less.*
Lithaladhwen: I'm Miss Fairburn in psionics. Are you new here?
Besyanteo: Heh. Yes. ^_^; Michael, of the Arrowfists.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles* Nice to meet you, Michael.
Besyanteo: *Hey, that Tribe lives real close to here. They visit sometimes.*
Lithaladhwen: Have you been here long?
Arch mage144: *brim of the hat covering his eyes, clearly more or less looking at the floor* Hey, Archmagus Fairburn. Are you harassing the students again?
Besyanteo: Just got here ten minutes ago, actually. Still looking ar-
Besyanteo: >.>
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: *looks over* Of course, Archmagus Silvar. You know me. Utterly merciless. *smile*
Besyanteo: (... Pimp)
Besyanteo: (Silvar.)
Besyanteo: (Nice. XD)
Lithaladhwen: (That's Darin.)
Arch mage144: I do. You're going to set his tail on fire any minute now and he'll never take another class on magic again.
Lithaladhwen: (Master Pimp Prentiss.)
Besyanteo: (Eh? Ah.)
Lithaladhwen: ...yes. Yes, that's just it. You've caught me. Now whatever will I do. ^_^
Kelne2261: *Is that a book on astronomy? Those wacky students and their extracurricular interests...*
J4deninj44: *there's a digging sound under the shelf*
Besyanteo: *looks back and forth. Not nervous so much as wondering if he just found an in-staff merital relationship*
Arch mage144: *he looks up, making eye contact with her for a moment before he does the polite thing and actually looks at the people he's speaking too--at this point it's clear that he's got blue hair, tied back into an Edward Elric-esque
Arch mage144: ponytail*
J4deninj44: (Hakaril teaches now?)
Lithaladhwen: Archmagus Silvar, Michael of the Arrowfists. Michael, pay no attention to anything this man does or says. ^_^
Besyanteo: IM: Dad used to work next to this guy, huh? Wow.
Arch mage144: You've got me. I've never been one to discipline fellow Archmagi. *rises* Now, don't go ruining him on me already!
Lithaladhwen: *little laugh*
Arch mage144: Just because I'm only a transient adjunct around here doesn't mean I have any less credibility. *smirk*
Besyanteo: Eh.
Besyanteo: I've already heard many things about Archmagus Silvar.
Lithaladhwen: *covers a smile with one hand*
Arch mage144: (He's an adjunct. He's actually currently teaching in first gen; he comes back every few years. It's how he's paying off his "tuition.")
Lithaladhwen: Most people have.
Besyanteo: We still talk about the incident with the trreasury sometimes.
Lithaladhwen: *her hand moves up to cover her eyes*
Arch mage144: Tell me, are they all as good as that one?
J4deninj44: (Heh. I see.)
CGNakibe: *.... some can hear something like a rather odd whistling sound coming from afar...*
Besyanteo: *obviously relaxing more!* Eh. It varies. I've also heard you and the King didn't get along very well.
Arch mage144: I will be very disappointed if I have to silence someone hell-bent on ruining my good name by telling inferior stories.
CGNakibe: *... wait, is that a whistling? That's... that's not whistling.. is it?*
Besyanteo: My Dad got a kick out of watching you two.
J4deninj44: *pokes it's head out and cocks it. Some manner of fox*
CGNakibe: *Wait, that's definitely yelling, yes. Heard through walls... somehow*
Lithaladhwen: Will you excuse me, please?
CGNakibe: yaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Lithaladhwen: I'll be right back.
Besyanteo: ... *his ear flicks and he looks towards the sound-*
Besyanteo: >_o
Lithaladhwen: *goes to see what the hell is going on*
Arch mage144: We get on swimmingly, I assure you! He and I have always been the closest of companions, but it has taken decades for him to realize where he would have been without me.
CGNakibe: *suddenly there can be heard a loud "WHUMP", as if something HEFTY just impacted Gunnir's wall*
Arch mage144: ....*quirks an eyebrow and removes his hat* Er. I believe someone is screaming.
Kelne2261: *Raises his nose from the book* IM: Another couple of weeks yet until we get a good view.
Besyanteo: Heh. I'm sure. ... Anyway, it's been an honor... But yeah,
Lithaladhwen: *is totally investigating as per her job responsibilities*
Besyanteo: I understand if you have to go deal with that. >.>;
J4deninj44: *ducks back under the shelf*
Arch mage144: *glances toward the wall* They may also be throwing heavy objects, or perhaps they are trying to levitate iron golems.
CGNakibe: .... *and Miss Fairburn goes out to find... a 3rd year student, dusting himself off*
Besyanteo: *looking towards the WHUMPF*
Lithaladhwen: Is everything all right out here?
Besyanteo: I dunno...
CGNakibe: >.O;;; Dammit, I thought I had more control this batch....
Besyanteo: that sounded like a soft impact. ... Flesh or pillows or something.
CGNakibe: Oh, Um... Yes yes.. .AssoonasIgetmybearingsI'llbealright.. .hehehehe. ^^;;;;
Lithaladhwen: All right. Be sure to let me know if you need anything, okay?
CGNakibe: *Quincy has arrived yet again, folks. Better hide your valuables.*
Arch mage144: I'll let her handle it. She's way better at this sort of thing than I am. *waves a hand idly* By your assumption, maybe it's some poor student who is taking flying lessons and flunking his field exam.
CGNakibe: Alright, Miss Fairburn! I'll... just.. um... try to make sure I don't hit the wall again. >.o;;;
Arch mage144: Which would be quite a predicament, what with the fact that the school doesn't offer flying lessons.
Lithaladhwen: Try not to. You really aren't built to withstand that impact quite so well as the wall was.
Besyanteo: ... That'd make it more challenging, yeah.
CGNakibe: Well, I've at least gotten my force field spell working. That's the important thing, right?
Arch mage144: Not to fly, but it certainly means that failure is considerably more significant.
Lithaladhwen: It's an important thing, certainly.
Kelne2261: Not that a few people don't get impromptu lessons from time to time.
Arch mage144: To get a failing grade on an examination is hardly worth crying over.
Besyanteo: *looks over at elfy person!*
CGNakibe: Now, if onlyIcouldmanagetokeepthosecrosswindsfromalteringmydirectionan dvelocitywhenalteredbyWaalsprinciple... -.-
Arch mage144: To break all your bones might be worth shedding a tear, but if there's no one to grade you on it, it's not the score you're worried about.
Lithaladhwen: ....Right. Well, if everything is okay out here, I'll head back inside. Come find me if something goes wrong. Okay?
Arch mage144: *smirks at the elf* Don't look at me. I can't fly. You won't get any impromptu lessons.
CGNakibe: Yes, Miss Fairburn. ^^;;;
Lithaladhwen: *nods and heads back in*
CGNakibe: Oh, wait!
J4deninj44: *trots from underneath the shelf and sniffs a book*
Lithaladhwen: *halts* Yes?
Besyanteo: *keeps glancing at Fluffy*
Arch mage144: *looks over at a back wall with a large stained glass window* I could hurl you out of the window from here without touching you, which would be kind of like a flying lesson, but it would also be rude.
Besyanteo: IM: Oh calm down. It's not nearly as bad as the football.
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
CGNakibe: Miss Fairburn! *suddenly rushes to follow her* I heard Archmagus Silvar was teaching a class next semester. Do you happen to know which one?
J4deninj44: *the fire colored twin tailed fox pulls the book out of the shelf and starts to drag it away.
J4deninj44: *
Besyanteo: ...
Kelne2261: Oh, indeed. Most people prefer their lessons a little more sedate.
Lithaladhwen: ...I....I haven't the faintest idea. Certainly nothing in my department. Come inside and ask him yourself.
Besyanteo: That fox thing is stealing a book.
Arch mage144: It seems someone's pet has gotten lost in the library.
Arch mage144: Perhaps it's going to read it?
CGNakibe: Oh? He's here already? Cool!
Arch mage144: This is a library. If it has a library card, I can't imagine anyone will stop it.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Come on. I'm headed back to the library anyway.
Besyanteo: Or make bedding....
Arch mage144: Hmm. That is also a possibility. These things are...difficult to determine.
Kelne2261: *The important question is surely which book the fox is borrowing...*
J4deninj44: *stops and perks up its ears* ... *it hesitates before slowly moving backward with the book to the safety of beneath the shelf*
Besyanteo: *can't see quite taht well. :-( *
CGNakibe: *nodnods vigorously* Yes ma'am. ImeanIhearallkindsofstoriesaboutArchmagusSilvar,ofcourse. Probablynoneofthemaretruebuthey,he'sfamousandstuffandoneofthec oolestgraduatesthatIknowofrightnow,whichnowthatIthinkaboutit...
Besyanteo: *... yet!*
Besyanteo: >_o
Besyanteo: ... I hate when people talk like that.
CGNakibe: Ireallydon'tknowallthatmanyGunnirgraduates.Atleastnotanyfamouson esoranything *can that boy talk your ear off, or what?*
J4deninj44: *something ING something*
Arch mage144: (Can we hear him at this point?)
Lithaladhwen: *holds out a hand* Slow down a second. *smile* It's fine. We're just sitting and relaxing right now. Come inside and ask him yourself.
Lithaladhwen: *heads in, presumably being followed*
CGNakibe: (Barely. Its like keeping up with a lifetime auctioneer*
Besyanteo: (Garoujin can, if he's just outside the hall. Racial thing they're supposed to have.)
CGNakibe: Slow down? Why does everyone keep telling me that? o.o;;
Arch mage144: Who are you talking about?
CGNakibe: I mean its not like I talk FAST or anything, is it?
CGNakibe: *is indeed following her*
Kelne2261: One of the drawbacks of a diverse student body, I suppose. Still, as long as it doesn't shred the book while we're watching, I'm prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Lithaladhwen: You have a little bit of speed going. It's difficult to understand you if you speak too fast sometimes.
Besyanteo: ... Eh? Oh, sorry. Forgot.. Human ears. Some guy out there is talking away like a chocobo runs.
CGNakibe: Ooooooooh. o.o
J4deninj44: (Shaun's char speaks gnomish a la Dragonlance.)
Lithaladhwen: So just take it easy and we'll go see what Archmagus Silvar's plans are.
Besyanteo: I didn't think you could talk that fast without cramping your tongue.
CGNakibe: *... that look doesn't exactly bode well for "understanding"*
Lithaladhwen: (Amanda: Oh, dear. He does.)
Arch mage144: *eyebrow quirk* Oh, I see. Reminds me of a friend I had when I was at Gunnir. I have no idea what he's doing now.
Besyanteo: (=D)
CGNakibe: (See? Its THIS sort of thing that I like about Quincy)
Besyanteo: (He needs to invent his own Mt. Nevermind.)
Lithaladhwen: *They reach the library.*
J4deninj44: (I want to know his name now.)
Lithaladhwen: Back.
CGNakibe: (Summoning demons with Hak's old teacher. >:{{{ )
CGNakibe: (Whose name?)
Lithaladhwen: (His Gnome name, presumably.)
J4deninj44: (Well, the gnomes in Dragonlance had terribly LONG, unnecessarily descriptive names.)
J4deninj44: (That took up whole books..)
J4deninj44: *rip, scratch scrath rip*
Besyanteo: (whole tomes. :o)
CGNakibe: ... Archmagus Hakaril? o.o O.O *and suddenly Hakaril encounters a slightly chubby and friendly looking student with brown messy hair and...*
Lithaladhwen: Hey now. Someone stop the book destruction please? Archmagus Silvar?
Arch mage144: So, the question has been raised. What happened out there? I was betting iron golem levitation experiments.
Lithaladhwen: *points to the booktearing animal*
Besyanteo: (And I think most of them were circuitous)
Arch mage144: *looks at the fox and the book*
Kelne2261: <_< *Sighs and heads over to rescue the book*
Arch mage144: *looks at Alya*
CGNakibe: (Gnomes are like that.)
CGNakibe: (But hey, at least they aren't Kender, right?)
Lithaladhwen: Thank you. *to the helpful student with fucking manners*
Arch mage144: I wouldn't want to interrupt his reading.
Besyanteo: (Hee. Kender.)
Kelne2261: Alright, critter, let it go. *Reaches out to retrieve*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* How unfailingly considerate of you, Silvar.
J4deninj44: ...*Stops and looks at the person approaching* KON KON KON KON KON!!!!!
CGNakibe: '(Kender = CHECK YOUR WALLET*)
Arch mage144: He is clearly taking his time digesting the material.
Besyanteo: (Also... I totally missed that request. Damn. o_o;-)
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Oh, that's very good. Very very good!
Lithaladhwen: *smirks* Yes. It would seem.
CGNakibe: But... Hm.
J4deninj44: *snarls and yips at the hand*
Kelne2261: *Continues the reaching*
J4deninj44: *It seems to have a small black horn on it's head mostily broken off*
CGNakibe: I suppose eating the.... hey, isn't that Archmagus Wray's tome on the Elements of Dischord in the Magical Principles of the East? o.o
Arch mage144: *looks at Quincy* I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name.
CGNakibe: ... Oh, Sorry... I... didn't mean to be rude or anything... ^^;;;
J4deninj44: *the fox thing bites the hand that doesn't feed it*
Arch mage144: *cranes his neck* Hmm. It could be...I can't tell from here. Only one way to find out. *flicks his wrist and pulls the book toward him via astral "telekinesis"*
CGNakibe: My name is Quincy Dorian Angelou Matthias the Third, sir.
CGNakibe: Pleased to meet you. ^^
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* Thank you, Archmagus Silvar.
Kelne2261: Well, that was uncalled for.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Finally.
Arch mage144: *the pull is pretty strong, so either he has a fox flying at his face or the fox loses his grip, your call*
Lithaladhwen: *to the student* Are you all right?
Besyanteo: *watching all this going on* ... so I guess this is a normal day at Gunnir, huh?
J4deninj44: *fwip and there's go the maimed book. THe fox is attached to the hand8
J4deninj44: *
CGNakibe: Hm. This requires healing magic. o.o;; Never was good at that.
CGNakibe: ... >.>;;; Um...
CGNakibe: Perhaps something needs to be done about the wild animal?
Kelne2261: *Grabs the fox by the scruff of the neck with the remaining hand*
CGNakibe: Ah... um... is... that wise?
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: These things are always sorted out eventually.
Kelne2261: Not to worry. I can fix it myself once I get my hand loose.
J4deninj44: *growling the twin tailed fox glares loathsomely at the man, unreleasing of its grip*
CGNakibe: Let me try something...
Arch mage144: *holding the book* Hmm. It would seem you were mistaken. This is a copy of Alfangor's treatise on the ethical treatment of bound extraplanar creatures.
CGNakibe: Um.... what were those words again? 9.9
CGNakibe: Ah, here we go...
Kelne2261: Which could be tricky.
J4deninj44: (Expecto Patronum)
Lithaladhwen: (Klaatu verata necktie)
CGNakibe: *insert crazy majik words here*
Lithaladhwen: (I said it!)
Arch mage144: *points to the title* A delicious read.
CGNakibe: *and.. from his fingers, a delicate mist weaves its way towards the fox*
CGNakibe: Meh. I always found that one a bit too heavy myself.
Besyanteo: ... I never knew you were so punny. I think that's the third terrible joke you've made since I met you. *smirk*
CGNakibe: *snickers* Oh, that's good.
Lithaladhwen: Please, Archmagus. Try to restrain yourself from enjoying it as thoroughly as the last patron.
CGNakibe: *the fox smells something sweet on the air... almost soothing*
J4deninj44: *The fox watches with terror and halts growling long enough to register surprise but sniffs the air as the mist surrounds it*
Arch mage144: *flips through the chewed pages* You must stop making such difficult requests of me. Any second now instinct is going to seize me and I will have to start gumming the pages.
Lithaladhwen: Well, you must endure.
Arch mage144: On my integrity as an archmage, I shall do my best.
Besyanteo: IM: I feel stuffy by comparison.
J4deninj44: *The fox lets go and licks its chops tasting the air*
Arch mage144: *tucks the book under his arm and smirks* Why does it smell like...syrup and jasmine flowers?
Lithaladhwen: *to Quincy* Interesting solution. Good work. I'm curious to see what it does next, though.
CGNakibe: Perhaps, er... Archmagi? If you did something about the fox and worried about lunch later?
Kelne2261: *Retrieves his hand, maintaining his grip* Now, what are we going to do with you?
CGNakibe: Oh... Um... *blushes* thank you. ^^;;;
Arch mage144: *walks over to the fox and inspects it*
Arch mage144: *What the hell is it? Anything recognizable?*
Besyanteo: (Noce bite!)
Besyanteo: (nose*)
J4deninj44: *hangs there by it's scruff and realizes its been had* KON KON KON KON!!!
CGNakibe: Its always interesting the things you can uncover during research.
J4deninj44: *Looks like a fiery colored....Precious.*
Arch mage144: ...oh!
Arch mage144: ...how did you get here?
J4deninj44: *snaps at Hakaril* KON KON KON!!
CGNakibe: Eh? o.o You know this sort of creature, Archmagus?
Arch mage144: Ladies and gentlewizards, we have here...a cerbie. I believe.
Kelne2261: *Fire wraps briefly around the injured hand, leaving unblemished skin in its wake*
Lithaladhwen: Sentient?
Arch mage144: It's a kind of single-headed variant on the cerberus, a demon dog, if you will.
J4deninj44: *Glare full of hatred and despise and loathing and abhorrence and foxiness*
Arch mage144: Somewhat. Capable of telepathic communication...sometimes...to very specific people who are used to trying to communicate with them.
Besyanteo: Ah... o_o;
Kelne2261: *Blinks* Huh. Belonging to somebody, no doubt.
CGNakibe: If it wasn't looking at us like it wanted to bite us it'd be almost... cute.
Arch mage144: However, it tends to be impossible to communicate with a random cerbie, only one you spend a lot of time acclimating to your presence. So I can't talk to it.
CGNakibe: But then things that maul you are rarely cute, I've found. o.o
Lithaladhwen: Hm. Poor thing. Let me try something.
Lithaladhwen: *Alya, being an archmage with a specialty in empathy, attempts to make some sort of crude emotional connection with the cerbie.*
J4deninj44: KON KON KON!! *struggles with the hand that binds it*
Arch mage144: It must be someone's escaped pet, and I imagine that, despite initial appearances, they want it back.
Lithaladhwen: *She seems quite friendly and concerned for the cerbie's wellbeing. Perhaps even welcoming!*
J4deninj44: ::Frustrated, tired, hungry, thirsty, concerned::
CGNakibe: Hm. o.o *nods* Unless it made a mess on the carpet once too many times...
Kelne2261: *Not letting it go anytime soon.*
Besyanteo: ... *while everyone does their magic thing,*
Lithaladhwen: I'm no specialist in the whole....animal... handling deal... but if it's even got rudimentary sentience this should help.
Besyanteo: *He'll resort to something more basic to find the owner. Or if there is one.*
Besyanteo: *Is there a scent on the cerbie, other than elf blood?*
Lithaladhwen: *She holds out her hands and tries to get across the vibe that it's more safe and comfortable over with her.*
CGNakibe: .... *watches the archmagi at work*
Besyanteo: IM: I'm so glad this works from a distance. I'd look like a nut putting my nose on it.
Lithaladhwen: Hey there. Want to come over by me?
Lithaladhwen: We can find you something better to eat.
CGNakibe: (Butt-sniffing weirdo)
Arch mage144: Well, I own one of these critters. >.o You'd think I could do something, except that you'd probably be wrong. My wife is the one who brought it into the household.
Besyanteo: (=P)
Kelne2261: *Waiting for it to show some signs of calming down before releasing it*
Lithaladhwen: Well, if there's one thing I ought to be able to do it's convince the poor thing I don't intend to harm it.
CGNakibe: (At least its not a Biscuit)
J4deninj44: *glaaaaares at Alya and sniffs in her general direction*
Besyanteo: (But yeah. he's looking for a scent on the thing that's not Ilya or the cerbie itself.)
J4deninj44: (BISCUIT!!)
Besyanteo: (Alya*?)
Lithaladhwen: *reaches a hand nearer so it can sniff her a little better* See? Just a human.
Lithaladhwen: (Alya is correct.)
Arch mage144: IM: I would be more likely to assume a baseline demonstration of your powers would involve setting it on fire. *mental chuckle*
CGNakibe: (Mmmm. Tasty Soylent Greenflesh)
Lithaladhwen: (eep.)
J4deninj44: *sniiiif...sniff sniff....scoff*
Lithaladhwen: I know you're hungry. *head tilt*
Lithaladhwen: *Projects a total intention to feed the cerbie!*
Besyanteo: >_O
Besyanteo: *he backs off a little, and rubs his nose*
J4deninj44: !!
Arch mage144: Hmm. Oh, right. They tend to like meat.
J4deninj44: *wags its tails*
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
J4deninj44: Kon!
Lithaladhwen: Come here, then.
Besyanteo: *he koffs a little*
Arch mage144: *headscratch* There is an easy solution to this. *gathers his hands together and subvocalizes*
Besyanteo: *then, to Silvar...!*
Lithaladhwen: *to its captor* Would you let go of it please?
Kelne2261: *Cautiously releases it into the care of the Archmagus*
CGNakibe: Are you alright there? *looks at Michael, concerned*
Arch mage144: *a glowing mass forms between Hakaril's palms and reshapes itself until he's holding what looks like a bone-in ham*
Besyanteo: It belongs to a demon around here. Aparently one with a chemistry set. >.< *rub nose*
J4deninj44: *sniffs its new jailor thoroughly*
Lithaladhwen: Ah! Archmagus Silvar. Thank you so much.
Lithaladhwen: *Allow sniffing.*
Besyanteo: I mean, I know it's a dmeon, but there's another demon scent on it.
CGNakibe: Chemistry set? o.o Only a couple dozen of those here, unfortunately.
Lithaladhwen: *Turns around so the cerbie is pointed at conjured ham.* Food, see?
Arch mage144: I imagine that this tastes better than parchment. *sets down the ham*
Arch mage144: *because he likes his fingers, this is a very rapid movement*
J4deninj44: *scrutinizes the ham*... ... ::displeased*
Besyanteo: *to fly boy* Like... sulfur or something, yeah. Not exatly.
Lithaladhwen: No ham, huh?
J4deninj44: *pushes the ham away with a paw*
CGNakibe: Well, Archmagus, the parchment MAY be well seasoned through the years...
Besyanteo: Acrid. Nasty.
Lithaladhwen: Tell me what you want. *Projects curiosity!*
CGNakibe: Hm.
Arch mage144: >.o What, you don't like ham? Damn! What do you eat?
CGNakibe: *thinks*
Kelne2261: Live food, I'm guessing.
CGNakibe: Um... Brimstone perhaps? o.o
J4deninj44: ::Pictures a virgin chained to a wall::
Besyanteo: Maybe. Never been around it before.
Kelne2261: IM: Hopefully not the souls of the damned...
J4deninj44: *wags tails expectantly*
Besyanteo: (...)
Besyanteo: (XD)
CGNakibe: (Did NOT see that coming. >:P)
Lithaladhwen: Hm. We don't have those. *Projection in the negative.*
Arch mage144: *picks up the ham, sniffs at it* Damnit, I still need to work on this. I'm no substitute for Bailey. It smells less like honey and more like...cheese.
J4deninj44: ::pictures a orc::
J4deninj44: *tilts head*
Lithaladhwen: *to Hakaril* It seems to want a human sacrifice. Or humanoid offering of some sort.
Arch mage144: I suppose this is what I get for studying...things other spontaneous than arcane meal preparation.
CGNakibe: Well, from what I understand, culinary conjuration is a whole curriculum on its own, Archmagus. o.o
Arch mage144: He's out of luck. I can't conjure those. Try the basement. *studies ham intently*
Lithaladhwen: (That is a Hakaril emote if ever there was one.)
Besyanteo: (Hee)
J4deninj44: ::pictures a cat::
Arch mage144: It certainly is. You could spend years just trying to get it right. I still can't make an omelette to save my life.
Lithaladhwen: Hm. *Projects an image of live rabbits.* Better?
CGNakibe: I could, maybe. If I actually had eggs. 9.9;;
Arch mage144: They taste like oranges and have the consistency of burlap.
Kelne2261: Have to wonder what the owner's been feeding it if that's what it expects.
Lithaladhwen: (ew.)
Besyanteo: ... Ew.
J4deninj44: *seems thoughtful.... ... ... ... * KON!
Lithaladhwen: Yes?
CGNakibe: (SOOOOULS)
J4deninj44: *agrees with cute fuzzy bunnies losing their lives*
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Let's find you a summoner, sweetheart.
Arch mage144: If you're offering it any kind of live prey, we're going to have to go somewhere else, because I can't pull anything edible out of my hat.
Lithaladhwen: Archmagus, I need someone to summon me rabbits. Is anyone still on campus?
CGNakibe: ... Oh. OH.
CGNakibe: Um... Hm. -.-
J4deninj44: *sniffs at Hakaril briefly*
Besyanteo: IM: What, a summoner too?
Arch mage144: I can do angels and will o' wisps and all kinds of other nonsense, but not rabbits.
CGNakibe: He isn't due back for another day or two... -.-;;
J4deninj44: ... ... Krrrrr kon.
Arch mage144: So...
Kelne2261: *Shakes his head* I tend to work with intelligent beings, myself.
Besyanteo: IM: ... I feel left out.
Arch mage144: ...yeah, I don't know who's around to do that kind of thing. Perhaps we should go to the dungeon, seriously. Probably some bored kids down there who would love to meet a demon...
Arch mage144: ...puppy.
CGNakibe: ... *looks over at Michael* Oh... are you a new student? o.o
J4deninj44: ::Sends Alya a picture of another cerbie a male, possibly cute::
Lithaladhwen: *smirks*
Lithaladhwen: Okay. Tell you what. *to the cerbie* We'll walk around until we find someone who can get you live food. Okay? *Image of travelling around the halls and finding rabbits hopping around.*
Arch mage144: I don't think cerbies like seafood, either.
Arch mage144: Which means we're really out of luck.
Besyanteo: Uhm, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: Archmagus Silvar, you don't happen to have a male cerbie do you?
J4deninj44: Kon. *tilts head and struggles to hop down on the floor*
Arch mage144: Yes...but he's...not on campus.
Lithaladhwen: *smirk* Never mind. It's not important.
Kelne2261: (Heaven help them all if Precious breeds...)
Arch mage144: (Hakaril: C'mere, Precious, it's time to get fixed!)
Besyanteo: (A plague of cerbies!)
Arch mage144: (Precious: *MAUL*)
Besyanteo: (XD)
CGNakibe: (AHAHAHA)
J4deninj44: (XD YES!)
Lithaladhwen: *Alya lets the cerbie go and heads toward the door. She lowers a hand and chafes her fingers together to get the cerbie to follow her.*
Lithaladhwen: Would anyone like to join me on my quest?
Arch mage144: (Hakaril: *covered in wounds* ...need to...ask Wray about...that "Astral Neuter" spell...)
J4deninj44: (The dog loves his balls. I mean...what would he have to lick?)
Lithaladhwen: (Hakaril?)
Besyanteo: I value my toes and fingers, but thanks.,
CGNakibe: I've got nothing better to do, Archmagus...
J4deninj44: (Hakaril doesn't feel good when you clean him.)
CGNakibe: Besides, I believe this would be a good time to continue working on my Air Elemental Mastery exams...
Lithaladhwen: (This Sirvix speaking from experience?)
Arch mage144: (Hakaril might dispute that.)
Arch mage144: (Hakaril: *breaks out the peanut butter* Here, Precious!)
Besyanteo: ...
Lithaladhwen: ( >_< )
Kelne2261: I'll pass.
Besyanteo: (>XD)
CGNakibe: (Now THERE'S an image)
Lithaladhwen: (No! No there isn't!)
J4deninj44: (Oh lord...)
Lithaladhwen: (I refuse!)
CGNakibe: (See, I get to turn said images OFF. ^^ )
Besyanteo: (Precious: *projects an image of devours Hakaril a piece at a time. ... Once this delctible torture ends*)
Besyanteo: (devouring*)
J4deninj44: *The little cerbie trots behind Alya looking around with renewed vigor at everything.*
Besyanteo: ... You keep one as a pet.
CGNakibe: Are you sure you don't want to come... err....
CGNakibe: What were your names again? *looks to Kelne's char and Michael*
Besyanteo: *to Hak, obvously*
Besyanteo: *However! to Quincy* Michael.
J4deninj44: ::Interested, curious::
Besyanteo: (I need a desterity spell. e.e)
Besyanteo: (... See?!)
Kelne2261: Keros. And no, I think I can survive without watching our fuzzy little terror devour a live rabbit.
Lithaladhwen: (That's a high-rank benediction spell. You can't do that at level one, Bes. =P )
Arch mage144: Yes. He technically belongs to my wife. However, he and I have gotten used to one another's company.
Besyanteo: (I know. ;-;-)
Lithaladhwen: Well, I assure you I'll fare much worse under the assault of the aggression and terror.
CGNakibe: I mean, I've gottenreallygoodatusingairasadefensespellatthispoint. ItevenmanagedtoprotectmethosetimesIaccidentallyhitGunnir'souterw allwhichisreallyREALLYheavy,you know?
Lithaladhwen: But all the same the poor dear needs to eat.
Arch mage144: I believe that after twenty-five years that it is safe to say that he likes me.
J4deninj44: (Precious: Son of a bitch is banging, my succubus. I better get used to him.)
Lithaladhwen: (Heh.)
Besyanteo: *just nods*
CGNakibe: (Likes? HAH)
Besyanteo: ... I've actually seen worse, I guess.
CGNakibe: (Decides that mauling you would piss off Sirvix? Most likely!)
Besyanteo: Ever seen a necromancer make a golem while they're stoned?
CGNakibe: ... that can't be good. Entertaining, perhaps, but not good. o.o
J4deninj44: (Precious: *Thinks about neutering Hakaril... ... ... ... ... Sniffs Hakaril's crotch*_
Besyanteo: *not following. :-(*
Besyanteo: *Did they walk off yet?*
Kelne2261: Ugh. *winces at the idea*
Lithaladhwen: All right, dear. Let's go. *Alya leads the way off to find rabbits.*
J4deninj44: Kooon. *trots off after*
Lithaladhwen: (But Keros knows that necromancer!!)
CGNakibe: *chugs along with you folks.*
Arch mage144: ...no, I haven't.
Kelne2261: All the more reason not to dabble in necromancy or demonology.
Arch mage144: How does that work out?
CGNakibe: Oh, Archmagus Hakaril?
Lithaladhwen: (So does Hakaril!)
Arch mage144: You know, I must say that there is some unfair prejudice against studying demons. I have been studying one for quite some time with only positive outcomes. *whistles*
Arch mage144: Yes, Quincy?
Lithaladhwen: *Heads down a floor and into another wing to the summoning department to see if anyone's still there.*
Kelne2261: (Well yes, but she does it behind closed doors. Hopefully.)
J4deninj44: (Sirvix: Hakariiiiiil, come take me as a final exam, baby!)
CGNakibe: Um.... I heard that you were teaching a class next semester and I was wondering what itwouldbeoverbecauseI'vebeeninterestedinlearningfromyousincethefir sttimeIheardyouweregoingtobeteachinghere.
Besyanteo: >_o
Besyanteo: o_<
Besyanteo: IM: Stop. It. I will HURT you.
Kelne2261: *Not going to ask for elaboration.*
Arch mage144: *adjusts his collar* Well, at this rate, you won't be able to take it at all.
CGNakibe: ImeanitsnotoftenthatoneofourmorefamousorassomewouldhaveitINfa mousstudentscomebacktoteachthecla... Eh? o.o;;;
CGNakibe: Whyever not?
Arch mage144: You will run out of oxygen before the first meeting of the course.
CGNakibe: *blinks.* Ah. Ah!
CGNakibe: *... the lights are on. No one is hooome.*
Besyanteo: ...
Arch mage144: I suggest breathing. It will naturally slow down the rate at which you speak. Now...
CGNakibe: IM: why does everyone keep saying that? o.o
Lithaladhwen: *They get to summoning and the secretary is there. Alya opens the door and knocks inside the doorframe.* Excuse me. Is anyone still here?
J4deninj44: KON?!
Lithaladhwen: Secretary: Well, there are a few students working on midterm projects still, but no professors for today.
Arch mage144: I, as has been traditional for me, will be teaching Applied Magical Theory. Archmagus Wray seems content to have me teach that as an adjunct for the rest of my natural life.
Lithaladhwen: And where are the students?
Lithaladhwen: Well, you could probably find them out on the commons.
Lithaladhwen: Thanks. Have a good one.
CGNakibe: *nods* Awesome
Besyanteo: Ah... I think I have that class. *pulls out a note*
Lithaladhwen: *nods and goes back to drudgework*
Besyanteo: Dunno if it's yours or not. 6_6; I'm not even able to cast anything yet.
Lithaladhwen: *kneels down at the cerbie's level* Outside are people who can make food. *Images of grass with rabbits.*
Arch mage144: Most students take it, though more than one teacher is available for the subject. I would like to hope that everyone at this school worthy of an instructor position can teach it.
Arch mage144: However, I think it would be hard to find someone better at teaching it than I am. *adjusts his hat*
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 66-sided die: 3
Besyanteo: Hm. ... Someone else. *puts it back*
J4deninj44: *licks Alya and wags a tail* ::Picutes eating a rabbit or eating Alya if she fails to provide*
J4deninj44: pictures*
Arch mage144: I could just as easily teach astral magic, but there are some benefits to teaching a more rudimentary course.
CGNakibe: *nodnodnod*
CGNakibe: (*the Ghost of Gourry comes up from the ground where he lays*)
Besyanteo: Like relaxed workload?
Arch mage144: I get a wider range of student talent this way. If nothing else, I can evaluate what individuals are good at and make recommendations.
CGNakibe: (Gourry: FOOD, FOOD FOOOOOOOD)
Besyanteo: And easy lesson plans each year?
Lithaladhwen: ^_^ Let's go, sweetheart. *stands*
Lithaladhwen: *heads to the courtyard to go bug some students*
Arch mage144: The alternative is to see two dozen students all trying to master the same astral rotes. There's a great deal of creativity in applied theory.
J4deninj44: *trots behind looking this way and that*
Arch mage144: I tend to judge the quality of my students' work based largely on how interesting it is.
Besyanteo: Really? o_o Here I thought it would be a sort of text book class, like history or something.
Arch mage144: I would argue that it is no less work than teaching a more focused course. Applied theory is something every mage should understand, and there are some very high levels of knowledge possible.
CGNakibe: *nodnods* That's what I've always been interested in myself. I mean, I've been trying to get this flying spell to work, but there's so many factors. Its still very cool/
Arch mage144: No, no. It is, but it isn't.
CGNakibe: Perhaps even useful if I can manage to get through my Enchantments and Foci class.
Kelne2261: Well, it is called applied magical theory.
Besyanteo: (We also call this course "Zen Magic")
Arch mage144: Applied theory is mostly about learning to adapt and develop spells. In essence, modifying existing spells and creating new ones.
Besyanteo: Oh. Like metamagic?
Arch mage144: It is partially a research course and partially an art course.
Arch mage144: Precisely. Metamagic alterations fall within the bounds of applied theory.
Besyanteo: *nod! Light of understanding!*
Lithaladhwen: *They get out to the courtyard and Alya sends a mental command to any summoners available.*
CGNakibe: (And you know.)
Lithaladhwen: T2ThosePeople: Excuse me. Require a summoner in some short order to feed a demonic housepet. Any available?
Arch mage144: A truly skilled improvisational magician, however, can take a spell that is very basic and well-tested and produce a very effective variant spell from that textbook inspiration.
CGNakibe: (Quincy has forgotten ALL ABOUT volunteering to help with the fox)
Besyanteo: (I expected he would. =D)
Lithaladhwen: (As did I.)
Besyanteo: *he nods* It should be interesting, anyway.
Arch mage144: My son, for example, devised his own version of a simple spell modification that allows him to produce a spell effect without moving, speaking, or being an obvious point of origin.
CGNakibe: I haven't done as much of that as I should... I'm usually better at research. ^^;;
Lithaladhwen: *A young woman with chin-length curly brown hair stands up and nods in Alya's direction.*
Besyanteo: (Hak: It only coss him 5 spell levels!)
Besyanteo: (costs*)
Arch mage144: It's impossible to know he even cast the spell unless you known precisely which subtle astral shifts and residues to look for. *smirks*
Arch mage144: (BRB.)
Kelne2261: *Nods thoughtfully*
Lithaladhwen: T2Girl: It's all right. You don't have to come over if you're busy. What I'd like is... a rabbit or two for the dog to hunt. Can you handle that?
CGNakibe: Fascinating. o.o
Kelne2261: Although I imagine one could work it out from context, if there are only a limited number of suspects.
Lithaladhwen: *The student nods and kneels down to the grass.*
Lithaladhwen: *After some astral warping and chanting, from between her hands run two rabbits that immediately bolt across the clearing.*
CGNakibe: Which still would leave any other practicioners in the area with a limited amount of time in which to react to this. o.o
Lithaladhwen: Well? *mental nudge to the cerbie* Go get them!
Lithaladhwen: (Whoa, that's right. Keros wouldn't know that James is Hakaril's son. James was really anal about that in VotS. Man. That boy just makes everything more complicated.)
Kelne2261: (Yep.)
CGNakibe: I mean, if one were actually dueling, or worse, in some sort of armed combat or another, this could shave precious seconds off an observer's time and capability to react and devise an effective counterstrategy.
Kelne2261: (And Keros tends not to dig for information.)
J4deninj44: *the cerbie stiffens and watches the twitching bunnies before transforming into a large twin tailed dog and pouncing on one rabbit killing it instantly.*
Besyanteo: Wouldn't it be alot more taxing to do all that on the fly modification, though?
Lithaladhwen: *Flinches at the unavoidable spike of pain and fear driving right into her mind.* >_o
CGNakibe: I imagine so. o.o
Arch mage144: Yes, it is. But the effect is often worth it, and being able to apply those kinds of modifications to any spell is very useful.
J4deninj44: *she gives an excited battle cry and chases the other rabbit around the courtyard and grabs it by the leg, giving it a neck wrenching shake and dropping at at Alya's feet*
Kelne2261: That's part of the point of the course. You work out what modifications you need to make in advance.
Besyanteo: ... True.
J4deninj44: ::Offers Alya thanks::
Lithaladhwen: *The summoning student watches the dog open-mouthed, but doesn't interfere.* IM: So cool.
Arch mage144: And you're quite correct. Context might identify him as the caster. It's still occasionally a handy trick.
Lithaladhwen: *General "don't worry about it" vibe.*
Lithaladhwen: *waves the cerbie off* Just enjoy your lunch.
Arch mage144: The real point of applied theory is learning to create your own magic instead of simply borrowing it from others.
Besyanteo: (I need to have a drunken spell creation session one of these days. =P ... Or atleast have my character be drunk for it)
Arch mage144: You all get a head start on your classmates by my giving you this piece of advice. Magic is art. *grins*
J4deninj44: *the cerbie does as she is asks and turns into her normal shape, the excitement of killing subsided, and eats the rabbits voraciously. When she is done she, rolls around in the blood and dust, looking proud*
Lithaladhwen: *sweatdrop*
Besyanteo: *for once, doesn't seem particularly surprised.*
Arch mage144: You can be a mage without being creative, but you will never be as...well, now I'm hungry. That's enthusiasm.
J4deninj44: ::Victory::
Lithaladhwen: *Desire to go back inside.*
Kelne2261: *Assimilates this information, taking it with a grain of salt. The archmagus is known for flashiness, after all.*
Besyanteo: *he nods* I understand that much, atleast.
J4deninj44: Kon. *lifts her head proudly and trots past Alya* ::Very well, pleased to return to curious looking room with bedding material::
Besyanteo: I should probably go figure out where my room is. >.>
Arch mage144: Well, you can be a very academic mage and memorize everything without really owning it. You'll manage. You just won't get top marks in my class. *smirk* I guess that may not be the most important thing for real-life purposes.
Arch mage144: But I would like to think that my students learn the right way to approach spellcasting.
Lithaladhwen: *Follows the cerbie back to the library, not bothering to find a way to clean the animal. Someone else can do that.*
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* You know, Archmagus, that creature is going to get blood and slobber everywhere.
Besyanteo: ... *Takes this as his cue to exit*
Arch mage144: *wrist flick--not only is the cerbie clean, but the cerbie looks like someone spent a thousand gil on an expensive doggy spa*
Besyanteo: (Blah. I want to continue, but I feel tired and ill)
Lithaladhwen: Thank you, Archmagus. I was hoping you would take care of it.
Kelne2261: <_< IM: Oh dear.... Well, that is handy.
Lithaladhwen: (You started this mess, dude.)
J4deninj44: =o_o=
CGNakibe: Magic is Art... *nods*
CGNakibe: *one can tell that he made a mental note of that*
Arch mage144: *her coat is shiny and even curled a little, her teeth are bright and sparkly, and...is that a red bow?*
Besyanteo: (... Before I go, I should totally throw together a random room mate for him, though)
Lithaladhwen: (Heh. You should!)
CGNakibe: (Wanna room with Quincy?)
CGNakibe: (You might wanna do something about your bunk, though...)
J4deninj44: *examines the bow... ....* ::curious look to Alya*
Besyanteo: (... Not bad in that sense. He'd either break and get used to the talking,)
CGNakibe: (Metal reinforcement FTW!)
Besyanteo: (Or snap and try to kill him)
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* Don't know, dearest.
Arch mage144: It's female. I can tell these things. Pet owner's intuition.
Lithaladhwen: In fact.... *searches the creature's mind for a particular set of syllables that have special meaning to it. In a word: its name.*
J4deninj44: *decides to make it look good but sitting upright and looking superior*
CGNakibe: (Hey, Quincy's got a few redeeming qualities)
CGNakibe: (He's practically a mini-library. You'll at least get your homework done.)
Arch mage144: Oh, excellent. I must've cast "instill prissiness" by accident.
J4deninj44: *Doesn't seem to find any words of particular importance except 'horn' and 'potion'*
Lithaladhwen: Silvar's Improved Prissiness.
Arch mage144: That would be telepathy, I assume. Your department.
Kelne2261: Just provided she decides that devouring books is beneath her dignity...
Arch mage144: Books don't contain enough blood, marrow, or sinew for her. I believe they're a meal of last resort.
J4deninj44: =e.e= *gazes at Hakaril with a sense of "Why are you so below me? Does it bother you? Oh dear, I just realized I don't care."
J4deninj44: =<.<= =
CGNakibe: I... is that fox snubbing us? o.<;;
Lithaladhwen: *She kneels down closer to the cerbie and projects an image of herself with the accompanying sound of her name. Then she projects an image of the cerbie with a questioning vibe.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: What is the little thing's name?
Kelne2261: IM: How do you go from 'I'm hungry enough to devour this book' to 'Bring me a human sacrifice', anyway?
Arch mage144: I may have overdone it with the bow, I think. >.o Perhaps she realizes this. At least I didn't go all-out and conjure a collar made of diamond-studded mythril or whatever.
Arch mage144: Not that I could pull that off.
J4deninj44: =o.o= *pictures a demon student, a cage, a saw, pain, and her lost horn. Pictures lost pups, a stew, and the same student. Feeling of inexorable loss and acceptance*
J4deninj44: *yawns and goes back to looking snotty* =>.>=
J4deninj44: *lifts her paw daintily and smiles a little at how delicate and pristine she must look* Kon.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, well. Hm. I have decided she's not going back to the student who owns her. I'm an instructor and I can arbitrarily judge the student unfit.
Lithaladhwen: So now we have to name her.
Besyanteo: (These results are generated with dice! Mostly! Along with my and Shaun's brains)
Besyanteo: *Michael finds his room!*
CGNakibe: (*drools*)
Besyanteo: *And enters, luggage in tow... Which he drops on looking around the room*
J4deninj44: (What was the name of that demon student I intended never to use again that was an utter douche?)
Besyanteo: *The lighting's been set a little dim, but you can still see well enough. There's clothes litering the floor. Sitting on the upper bunk bed, stark naked,*
J4deninj44: (Can I retcon and rename him?)
Besyanteo: *is what looks like a 23 year old male human student... other than small horns on his head*
Lithaladhwen: (Uh, sure.)
Besyanteo: *As well as yellow eyes*
J4deninj44: (Zil....I name him Zil.)
Besyanteo: Hey, Roomy!
Arch mage144: *cocks his head* Perhaps we can call her...Ovaria.
Besyanteo: IM: ... And there was much weeping, and gnashing of teeth.
Lithaladhwen: ....I... you don't have any daughters... do you?
Lithaladhwen: Tell me you just have one son.
J4deninj44: (*LAUGHS* Been around the demons tooooo looooong.)
Besyanteo: </Michael>
Arch mage144: Yes, and I insisted that his demon family name be his middle name.
Lithaladhwen: Well, then perhaps Ovaria can be her middle name.
Besyanteo: (night folks. Sorry to run out early.)
J4deninj44: (Philopianna! PHILOPIANNA!)
J4deninj44: (Night Bes!)
Lithaladhwen: (Good night!)
CGNakibe: Well, Um... Archmagi... it's been pretty interesting but... I think its about time for MY lunch.
CGNakibe: Perhaps I'll see you a bit later? o.o;;
Besyanteo has left the room.
Arch mage144: Very well. Justine Ovaria Philopianna.
Lithaladhwen: *nods to Quincy* Of course.
CGNakibe: (Sorry, I'm gonna cut out myself, for different reasons)
Lithaladhwen: That... that sounds lovely.
CGNakibe: (I'm told I'm going to be awoken early tomorrow to help dad with car)
Kelne2261: IM: Not going to ask. Not going to help name the creature, either.
J4deninj44: (Ew. Early.)
Lithaladhwen: *Does the image thing, only with Justine accompanying an image of the cerbie* I'm Alya. You want to be Justine?
Lithaladhwen: IM: At least one name is normal.
Arch mage144: *salutes lazily* Of course. Enjoy the cafeteria.
CGNakibe: (*is not crazy, schedules classes after noon. >;P*)
J4deninj44: *blinks... ... ... ... ...Accepts!*
Lithaladhwen: ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Hello Justine. You look lovely.
CGNakibe: Later! *runs off.... well, maybe not QUITE a run. Not fit enough for that* IM: Maybe if I flew....
J4deninj44: *straightens and lifts her paw daintily*
CGNakibe: *he picks up a few inches off the ground as he does, gaining considerable speed*
CGNakibe: *WHUMP* Oww... >.o;;
Lithaladhwen: Hakaril, I do believe you've made her happy.
CGNakibe: </Quincy>
Lithaladhwen: (You heading out, Shaun?)
CGNakibe: (Yeah)
Lithaladhwen: *Archmagus Silvar
Kelne2261: <_< IM: I think that's going to become a familiar sound in the future...
Lithaladhwen: (I have so many characters who call him by his first name. Too many.)
Arch mage144: Yes, well, I have some practice in grooming my own pets.
Arch mage144: I would say that I have a great deal of practice.
J4deninj44: (Just for some added spice. Since I love being bad...)
Lithaladhwen: In fact, I do believe you did.
Kelne2261: *Keros, excitement apparently done with, gravitates back to his book.*
Arch mage144: Precious, despite his masculinity, appreciates an opportunity to look and feel fancy.
Lithaladhwen: *smirks*
Arch mage144: *suddenly frowns*
Kelne2261: (Precious: I feel pretty...)
J4deninj44: *Zil, who I renamed,I think... Enters looking miffed.* Archmagi, I'm most glad to see you. I've lost one of my experiments!
Arch mage144: Damnit. I forgot. *begins digging into his inner pockets with an intense facial expression*
Lithaladhwen: Oh? *picks up Justine* And what would that be?
Arch mage144: *a moth flutters past Hakaril's ear*
Lithaladhwen: T2Hakaril: Apologies for the telepathy, but please do let me handle this one.
Arch mage144: *appears too preoccupied by whatever the hell it is to be bothered*
Arch mage144: No, no, wrong pocket...
Kelne2261: *Would this Zil be a familiar sight to Keros? Or is this a different demon?*
J4deninj44: ! Ah! You've found it. It's a Brimstone's cerbie.
J4deninj44: (Probably familiar. He was doing experiements on kids I think last time.)
Lithaladhwen: Oh? Oh, no. She's mine. This is Justine. *Her voice takes on a strange tone, as if there are three or four of her speaking at once.*
Lithaladhwen: I'm afraid you're mistaken.
Arch mage144: ...also not the right pocket...
Lithaladhwen: (Alya uses The Voice! =D )
Arch mage144: ...aha! ...ew.
J4deninj44: No. The horn is missing, you see...That's my... my cerbie.
Kelne2261: *Zil gets a very flat look from Keros.* IM: Let the faculty handle it...
J4deninj44: *glares at Zil and offers to eat him to Alya*
Lithaladhwen: It is in the breeder's guidelines to trim the horn. They all look like this. Continue searching.
Lithaladhwen: IM: As much as I hate to use telepathic coercion....
Lithaladhwen: IM: It does seem warranted.
Arch mage144: *pulls out a handful of...something* Ah, well! *opens his hand and dumps a pile of small, brownish, raisin-like objects onto the carpet*
Lithaladhwen: This is not the Cerbie you're looking for.
Lithaladhwen: Move along.
J4deninj44: ... ... *looks a little hazy* I...see...I shall continue searching...
Arch mage144: How did I wind up with a pocket-full of pupae, anyway? *stares curiously at them*
Lithaladhwen: (I had to, I just did.)
Lithaladhwen: *waves the student on*
J4deninj44: *Zil wanders off looking confused*
Kelne2261: *Blinks* IM: I swear people on every planet in the damn galaxy use a variant of that phrase...
Arch mage144: Oh, right. The time mages. *another moth flutters by*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: *holds Justine out in front of you* Are you my Cerbie now?
Lithaladhwen: *of her
Kelne2261: IM: Must be one of those universal constants or something.
Lithaladhwen: (Pronoun usage!)
Lithaladhwen: (Kelne: Like a gin and tonic.)
J4deninj44: (Zil's gonna be more miffed when he figures out what happened.)
Lithaladhwen: (If that happens, she'll just have to mindfuck him harder. It is more or less her specialty.)
J4deninj44: KON! *wags her tails and licks the air in front of her*
Arch mage144: (I'll have the chitn'o'mgs, thank you very much.)
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* All right then, Justine. I don't mind if you don't. Let's get you a collar so that we can prove to everyone you don't belong with him, huh?
Arch mage144: *traces a loop in the air and catches the resulting collar with his other hand*
Lithaladhwen: *image of people holding Justine, looking at a collar, and then refusing to hand her over to her former owner*
Arch mage144: *It's made of black leather and even has an impressed name!*
J4deninj44: !!! *wriggles excitedly and licks whatever she can reach* ::Amazement, impressed, pleased, promises never to eat Alya::
Kelne2261: IM: Sounds like the little snake managed to wriggle away from the charges. Still, I daresay the staff have their eyes on him.
CGNakibe: (How did I know this would end this way?)
Lithaladhwen: Oh, well isn't she just darling now. *Looks over to Hakaril* Thank you, Archmagus.
Lithaladhwen: Would you do the honors?
J4deninj44: (Because every girl wants a demon to protect her.)
Lithaladhwen: (And every demon wants a girl to do the same?)
J4deninj44: (Of course!)
Arch mage144: *approaches the cerbie with some degree of caution and proceeds to slip the collar over its head*
J4deninj44: (Sirvix: I need a hero! *hugs Hakaril... ... Drags him into the bedroom* I need a hero til the end of the niiiiight.)
Lithaladhwen: Eventually we'll have to get her eating Bailey's food to relieve the burden on student summoners.
Lithaladhwen: (He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight....)
Lithaladhwen: (*was in Footloose*)
Arch mage144: I can't imagine she can object to raw meat, even if she hasn't killed it herself. Just give it time.
Lithaladhwen: We can hope.
Lithaladhwen: *sets Justine down to enjoy her new collar and faculty sponsorship*
Arch mage144: Sometimes they go through phases where they decide not to eat anything they haven't brought down under their own power. Or perhaps that's a male cerbie thing.
J4deninj44: ... ...
J4deninj44: (Precious: WAR HUH GOOD GOD YAH!)
Lithaladhwen: Well, in that case I'll ask Bailey to offer students extra credit for conjuring live game. I'm sure he'd go for it.
Arch mage144: There was a period of about two months where Precious wouldn't eat unless he had killed a large animal by himself. I had to start purchasing whole deer for him to chase, catch, slaughter, and consume.
Lithaladhwen: (Yadali would hunt with Precious.)
J4deninj44: =e.e= *slow graceful stalking around*
Kelne2261: (Charles: SILVAR! Hak: Precious, just because you brought him down under your own power...)
Lithaladhwen: (Ha.)
J4deninj44: *scoffs at Hakaril and raises her paw at him*
Arch mage144: IM: That's quite the ego.
J4deninj44: (=e.e= ::We desire you to kiss the royal paw::-)
Lithaladhwen: (Justine: We are not amused. >\/> )
Arch mage144: IM: Let's see you pull a collar out of the air, little bitch.
Lithaladhwen: Now here's the thing.
Lithaladhwen: How can I get her former owner in trouble?
Arch mage144: What, for abuse of animals?
Lithaladhwen: It's certainly possible that he kept her caged, removed her horn, and then... I wasn't as certain on this, but I think he cooked and ate her children. I... I think.
J4deninj44: *walks over to Keros and sniffs him. She lifts her head and raises her paw at him* =-.-=
Arch mage144: Now that's just strange. Cerbies are not terribly good for eating.
Arch mage144: Why torture a dog?
J4deninj44: (Precious: ::HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THIS, JAMES!::
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. It's not a hobbie of mine.
Kelne2261: *Dutifully shakes the paw*
Arch mage144: (He's making a reasonable assumption!)
Kelne2261: I think I may be able to help there.
J4deninj44: Kon. *Is pleased and trots back to Alya*
Arch mage144: *raises an eyebrow* Is that so?
Arch mage144: Do you know that student?
J4deninj44: ::Images of Keros shaking her paw. Slight Victory::
Lithaladhwen: *Pride!*
J4deninj44: Kon. =>.>= =<.<= =-.-= *Not just normal pride but priiiiiide.*
Kelne2261: Some time ago, one of the students overheard him tasking a servant demon to fetch him a young girl. Naturally, she confronted him, along with those of us who heard the commotion.
Lithaladhwen: A young girl?
Arch mage144: *considerably more serious expression than Keros has previously seen on Hakaril's face*
J4deninj44: (Zil: Come here, my pretty. Ke ke ke ke keeee!)
Kelne2261: A succubus, he later proceeded to explain. As if that made it all better.
Lithaladhwen: *frowns*
Kelne2261: We chased him off back to hell with his tail between his legs. Until today, I'd assumed he stayed there.
Lithaladhwen: (Zea totally still has a big scar from being hit in the chest by a giant scorpion stinger. It sucked and she never did get it fixed.)
Arch mage144: So he's not a student?
Arch mage144: Or he is a student, he's just...foreign.
Kelne2261: The latter. I lodged a report, but apparently it hasn't stuck.
Lithaladhwen: It would seem.
Arch mage144: These are serious allegations, sir...?
Kelne2261: Keros Sonelle.
Lithaladhwen: He isn't lying, though. I have no reason to doubt him.
Arch mage144: Neither do I.
Arch mage144: Well, mage Keros. Do you know the name of the girl who he attacked? I would like to speak with her.
Lithaladhwen: Was she a student?
J4deninj44: ?? *Feels left out of the conversation*::Curious::
Lithaladhwen: *Lets Justine in on the fact that they're all beginning to dislike Zil very much.*
Arch mage144: *an invisible "hand" scratches the cerbie behind the ears*
J4deninj44: Krrrrrrrrrrrrrn :: agrees that Zil = scat, warm and steaming::
Lithaladhwen: *smirks*
Lithaladhwen: *Approval!*
J4deninj44: *leans in towards the 'hand'*
Kelne2261: *Shakes his head* It never reached that point. The girl who overheard him, <insert name here> confronted him then and there, and the attacking more or less happened the other way around.
J4deninj44: (Zea, I think.)
Lithaladhwen: (Glykeria.)
Kelne2261: (Another person. Zea was drawn to the site by an impending death.)
J4deninj44: (Damn, not even close.)
Lithaladhwen: (Glykeria confronted them, Zea actually fought them with Quillan and Keros, I think.)
Lithaladhwen: (Zea was possessed at the time, and they decided to focus on her since she was the closest irritating succubus.)
Kelne2261: Not that that rules out other victims that I don't know about.
Arch mage144: Hm.
Lithaladhwen: (Zea was possessed by a former victim of Zil's, and that spirit drove her to pick a fight. He actually used her as a hostage to get her friends to help him.)
Lithaladhwen: (But Glykeria was the one who found them and overheard the conspiring.)
Arch mage144: ...I'll have someone keep an eye on him.
Arch mage144: I wouldn't, ordinarily, but this isn't good-natured Gunnir pranking. This is malicious.
Lithaladhwen: Agreed.
Kelne2261: *Nods* That would be a great relief, Archmagus. Thank you.
J4deninj44: (Zil: Keep an eye? On me? *scoffs* How brash.(
Lithaladhwen: (Alya: Touch my cerbie and I'll liquify your brain stem. It isn't fun. I've been there.)
Lithaladhwen: If you need any assistance with that, be sure to let me know.
J4deninj44: (Justine: Kon. =e\/e=)
Arch mage144: I might. Espionage is not my specialty. I was going to find out who hung around him or who roomed near him and have them observe him as casually as possible.
Kelne2261: (Keros: Floating eyeballs, floating eyeballs... *summons beholder* ... Oops.)
Lithaladhwen: (Zea: *pins the beholder down and dissects its corpse*)
Lithaladhwen: (She has one now. It's held down to a lab table by hooks.)
Lithaladhwen: Aside from gross abuses of my own power, I doubt I could do much more.
J4deninj44: (Keros is on Zil's naughtly list....)
Lithaladhwen: I've already done more than I really ought to, all things considered.
Kelne2261: (Eh, he's overdue to make an enemy. Both his siblings have nemeses in spades...)
Arch mage144: ...you could do a lot worse. There are reasons I'm exercising restraint here as well.
Lithaladhwen: *nod*
Arch mage144: *looks off into the distance spacily*
Arch mage144: *shakes it off*
Lithaladhwen: *doesn't question the spaciness by now*
Lithaladhwen: *it's Hakaril*
J4deninj44: *in puff of fire a note written blood appears, on the librarian's desk*
Lithaladhwen: *is the librarian bothered by this?*
J4deninj44: * I dunno. Would she be?)
J4deninj44: *
Lithaladhwen: *What does it say? :O *
Lithaladhwen: ("Sorry my book is overdue, will return it tomorrow," would not scare a Gunnir librarian, even written in blood.)
Kelne2261: (Probably shrug and deliver the note to the addressee. Or write 'return to sender' if they're not there.)
Arch mage144: In any event, Keros, Archmagus, I believe I am overdue for a meeting...
Kelne2261: (Note: I'll get you, my pretty! And your little Cerbie, too!)
Kelne2261: *Nods in farewell*
Lithaladhwen: Take care, Archmagus.
Lithaladhwen: Thank you for your assistance.
J4deninj44: Dear Archmagus Alya, It's a pleasure to have 'talked' with you. I'm not surprised at your falling in with my experiment. It's a lovely specimen.
J4deninj44: For you safety, I would advise you return it. If not, I fear I do not know what will be fall you. Sincerely, Zil Rings
Lithaladhwen: ...*the librarian is alarmed*
Lithaladhwen: *Alya decides to godmode her way over and investigate*
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: Archmagus Silvar?
Lithaladhwen: Before you go?
Arch mage144: Yes?
Lithaladhwen: *hands him the note*
Arch mage144: ...
Lithaladhwen: Threatening the faculty?
Kelne2261: *Blinks* You're kidding.
Arch mage144: Mmm. I don't think I need permission from a higher authority with this kind of evidence. I imagine we can do whatever we want.
Arch mage144: IM: Punk. Who does he think he is?
Lithaladhwen: I'm no good in combat. The best I could do was convince him to spend the rest of his life under the impression he's a nine year old girl.
Lithaladhwen: I could have Selena braid his hair.
Lithaladhwen: (Reference two!)
Lithaladhwen: (Count 'em bitches!)
Arch mage144: That might arguably be much, much worse than anything I could do to him.
Arch mage144: ...aside from, perhaps, turn him into a nine-year-old girl.
Lithaladhwen: That... I cannot do.
Kelne2261: (I've heard that phrase before, and I can't - Ah, yes. X-Men.)
Lithaladhwen: (Heh. YES.)
Arch mage144: I can change his body, but not his mind. Perhaps we can make a new man out of him. *smirk*
J4deninj44: (Hehe.)
Arch mage144: He's a student, no matter what. It would weigh heavily on my conscience to kill him...
Arch mage144: ...unless "the demon made me do it," as they say.
Lithaladhwen: *represses a smile*
Lithaladhwen: Well. I trust that he will have to be dealt with before he causes too many problems. I must admit that even as an archmagus, a student with his specialties could be a problem for me.
Arch mage144: No matter what he's good at, he's just a punk kid. *cracks his knuckles*
Lithaladhwen: *blinks* Well. Shall we go pay him a visit?
Arch mage144: Absolutely.
Kelne2261: If you do require some additional firepower however, Archmagus, I would be happy to volunteer my services.
Lithaladhwen: *Projects to Justine an image of Zil being blasted by lots of pretty lights from Hakaril.*
Arch mage144: Absolutely, Keros.
J4deninj44: ::Grins and wags her tails*
Kelne2261: *Back to the shelf with the book and on the trail of Justice.*
Lithaladhwen: I must say... *said as she heads toward the door* ...I certainly never expected to be the teacher who gets threatened by a student. Generally we get on just fine.
Lithaladhwen: This is an odd change.
Lithaladhwen: I don't think I really appreciate it.
Arch mage144: If it helps, Archmagus, you are indeed the last possible suspect for this kind of thing.
Lithaladhwen: Thank you. *nods*
J4deninj44: *leads the way as much as she can, because Goddess lead, they do not follow*
Lithaladhwen: Glad to see I don't throw everyone I meet into a murderous rage.
J4deninj44: a goddess*
Arch mage144: No, but when I'm in a murderous rage, I tend to throw everyone I meet into walls.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Well. I suppose we'd best hurry to check on Zil, then.
Arch mage144: He is trying my patience.
Lithaladhwen: *searches nearby students' minds for signs that they've seen Zil*
Arch mage144: It has been suggested that most people...would not like me when I'm angry.
Lithaladhwen: I have no doubt, Archmagus.
J4deninj44: *Zil has been seen going towards the courtyard!*
Lithaladhwen: *heads that way, then!*
Lithaladhwen: (Alya: *casts "detect plot"*)
J4deninj44: (Spell failed!)
Lithaladhwen: (Ohnoes!)
Kelne2261: (But... But if there is no plot... We'll have to make it up as we go along. How will we possibly cope?)
J4deninj44: (Someone should kidnap Sirvix...I want to see Hakaril go into a mindless bloody rage.)
J4deninj44: (Oh wait...been there done that.)
Lithaladhwen: (Not just Hakaril. Tassi would be most displeased.)
Lithaladhwen: (And yeah, shame that was before my time.)
J4deninj44: (Someone need kidnap his child.)
Kelne2261: (Someone should kidnap Hakaril. Turnabout is fair play, after all...)
Arch mage144: (Now that would be amusing.)
Lithaladhwen: (Kidnapping+Too many angry adventurers=UNDEFINED)
Lithaladhwen: *We reach the courtyard!*
Lithaladhwen: *Because we all know where that is, presumably.*
J4deninj44: *Reading calmly*
Lithaladhwen: Afternoon, Zil. I believe you were hoping to speak with me?
Kelne2261: *Sweeps his gaze across it in search of Zil. We don't want him escaping, after - Oh, there he is.*
J4deninj44: Ah yes, Archmagus. I see you've considered my offer. I would gladly like to see my property returned.
Arch mage144: *walks around to the other side of Zil, triangulating his position with Keros and Alya*
J4deninj44: *smiling smugly* Oh my...a posse. *smirk*
Lithaladhwen: I have indeed considered your request, and the consequences of it, you are correct.
Lithaladhwen: (For once I'm the only one without a Philsys sheet. =( )
Kelne2261: IM: I'll let them sort it out. No sense bandying words.
J4deninj44: Consequences, my dear Archmagus? Whatever do you mean, Archmagus?
J4deninj44: *drillin' in that word*
Lithaladhwen: Well. The request you've made and the implications of an incorrect choice are certainly... not going to go unnoticed.
Lithaladhwen: In fact, you might say you certainly... have our attention.
Lithaladhwen: You may regret that.
Arch mage144: *crosses his arms* I might argue that you...didn't really want it.
J4deninj44: Ah... It seems you've taken offense. *stands and adjusts his robes* What I merely meant was that cerbie are...demons and cannot be trusted.
J4deninj44: As long as you possess that thing, you are...in danger.
Lithaladhwen: I don't believe such things of all demons. It might lead me to make unfair judgments about students.
Arch mage144: I am in agreement with the Archmagus. I, being married to a demon, can hardly say they're untrustworthy creatures as a species.
Lithaladhwen: For instance, what were to happen if I decided you could not be trusted?
Lithaladhwen: I might have to act accordingly, and it would be a real shame.
J4deninj44: Oh? *feigns shock* I? Oh, dear, you may be right but I assure you that I have taken the utmost steps in assuring that I do not succumb to my base nature.
Arch mage144: I would be more concerned that I will succumb to my "base nature."
J4deninj44: After all, *eyes Hakaril* demons are just filthy souls with no place to go but hell. I just do my part to keep them there...
Lithaladhwen: *There is a tall, well-dressed man standing next to Hakaril. Keros has seen him before very briefly with Zea.*
J4deninj44: *smiles* Shall I help you wife with her base natures, my good Archmage?
Lithaladhwen: Archmagus Silvar, I would advise killing him.
J4deninj44: Oh dear, how violent.
Lithaladhwen: *just stares, open-mouthed*
Lithaladhwen: (Alya and John. What an odd collection I've settled on.)
Kelne2261: *Flicks a glance towards him* And I'd advise you to stay out of it this time.
J4deninj44: Krrrrrrrrrn. KRRRRrrrrrrrn. *growling violently at Zil* ::Waiting for Alya's word::
Lithaladhwen: *polite nod to Keros* Merely protecting my own interests. Assuring for myself that the boy is dealt with.
Lithaladhwen: Shh. *begging Justine for restraint*
Arch mage144: *looks at John* I have no idea who you are, but you're insulting my wife, and that tends to leave me more inclined to agree with this stranger's perspective.
Kelne2261: *Nods* Just so we're clear you won't be acting directly.
J4deninj44: Insult? Animals do not get insulted.
Lithaladhwen: I take commands from no one but my mistress. You would do well to remember that.
Arch mage144: I don't wear gloves. *holds up both hands* So I can't slap you across the face with one and announce a formal duel.
Kelne2261: IM: How did he even get in the door of this place?
J4deninj44: I've done research on many Demon Fae...I could...purify her for you and make her more worthy of one in such standing as you?
Lithaladhwen: Keros? I think we should take a few paces back. Justine, we need to get out of a reasonable blast radius.
Lithaladhwen: *backs away*
Arch mage144: I believe you aren't listening to me.
J4deninj44: Kon?
Kelne2261: *Takes the advice*
Arch mage144: If you know me as an instructor, you are well aware that I don't like formalities.
Arch mage144: This is bad news for you. Do you know why?
Lithaladhwen: T2Justine: Follow me. Back over here. *Image of Hakaril blasting the boy into ashes* Okay?
J4deninj44: *looks at Alya and follows confused* ::Running away from scat?? Why?::
J4deninj44: ::OH!::
Lithaladhwen: T2J: Yes.
Lithaladhwen: *The stranger disappears again, content that things are turning out well.*
J4deninj44: You? Would kill a student?
Kelne2261: *Quietly ushering any other students in the vicinity who haven't already taken the hint away*
Lithaladhwen: You would, apparently. Or so I hear.
J4deninj44: My that will clearly put you in bad standing...I'd hate to tarnish your name with a title such as murderer?
Lithaladhwen: And you've threatened a faculty member.
J4deninj44: I would never kill a student!... *grins* Have many ways of acquiring subjects...
J4deninj44: And I didn't not threaten you...I warned you against keeping a cerbie.
J4deninj44: *looks matter of fact* Don't take it all the wrong way because you dislike me and my ideals.
Lithaladhwen: I am very good at reading intent, dear. It's my specialty.
Arch mage144: Oh, of course! How could I have forgotten! If I don't follow protocol, I will be a murderer.
Lithaladhwen: Don't argue with me.
Lithaladhwen: You have no credibility here and you have gone in above your head.
Kelne2261: Still trying to twist the meaning of your own words, I see.
Arch mage144: *snaps his fingers, pulling a leather glove out of the air, and slaps the demon across the face with it*
Lithaladhwen: (Amanda's villains always piss my characters off. Some kind of bizarre gift you have, madam.)
J4deninj44: I'm not arguing, dear Archmagus Alya. I'm -*SMACK*
Arch mage144: *throws the glove on the grass*
Lithaladhwen: *smirk*
J4deninj44: (^__^)
J4deninj44: ... ... ... ...
Lithaladhwen: *picks up Justine so that the cerbie can watch from near-eye-level*
Lithaladhwen: Here you are, dear.
J4deninj44: If you were not my superiour...MR. SILVAR.....
Arch mage144: Now we are dueling. Stand up, or you will be ashes before you can even acknowledge it!
J4deninj44: ::Looks like she's about to get another rabbit:: =O___O= *wag wag wag*
Arch mage144: I am your superior, and you will do well to recognize it!
Lithaladhwen: (Happy Cerbie tonight.)
J4deninj44: I will not fight that which fornicates with DUNG!
Lithaladhwen: (Hey. The Silvar family is developing something of a tradition with succubi.)
Kelne2261: IM: This ought to be short, then.
Lithaladhwen: (I get it.)
Lithaladhwen: (He's one of those self-hating demons.)
J4deninj44: I would...that your spawn be purified by my hand, my lord... I do admire your strength if not your...'tastes'.
J4deninj44: *spits blood* Perhaps you should cool off and address me when you're not behaving like an Underworlder.
Kelne2261: Actually, I believe the Archmagus has yet to stoop to your level.
Arch mage144: *eyes narrow* I will count to three. You had better attack me before I finish. You will not get a second chance.
Lithaladhwen: *mutter* Gods help you if he does.
J4deninj44: Did I hit a nerve?
Arch mage144: One.
Arch mage144: Two.
Arch mage144: *purposefully drawing this out*
J4deninj44: ... Murderer....*smiles*
Arch mage144: Three.
J4deninj44: =O____O= :: Likes Hakaril::
Lithaladhwen: *Approval!*
J4deninj44: Do as you wish... *stands with his arms open*
Arch mage144: *Hakaril flares with sudden energy and adopts a combat stance, swirling lights whipping into a frenzied vortex around his body*
Arch mage144: IM: Unfortunately, no. I can't do that. Not yet.
Arch mage144: IM: Let's limit property damage this time.
J4deninj44: And Ashura said: LET THE HEAVENS OPEN AND RAIN THE HOLY LIGHT!!
J4deninj44: LET THAT WHICH IS DARK FIND PURITY IN MY EMBRACE!!
Arch mage144: *the swirling vortex of lights vanish* No such luck, scum.
J4deninj44: LET THE DEMONS THAT FEAST UPON SOULS KNOW JUSTICE!!
J4deninj44: *smiling* AND LET SINNERS...
J4deninj44: KNOW HELL.
Arch mage144: Fabric of the astral, I rip your threads apart with my sharpened nails! ASTRAL...RAVAGE!
Arch mage144: *...nothing's happening?*
Arch mage144: *Oh, wait.*
Arch mage144: *Zil looks like he's the Fourth of July. Compressed into a five-foot square area.*
Lithaladhwen: *blinks and coughs self-consciously* Gracious.
J4deninj44: ::Waiting for big boom OOOOOOOOH!::
J4deninj44: *Screams in pain...no...laughs in p...pain? Wait what?? Okay, he's fucked up in the head::
J4deninj44: *falls to the ground coughing and wheezing muttering*
Arch mage144: *Colorful lights and sparks fly out in all directions; it's like someone has shoved Gandalf's entire fireworks wagon into a barrel and thrown in a molotov cocktail*
J4deninj44: ::-Does it hurt him?::
Arch mage144: *kicks the boy in the head with a steel-toed boot*
Arch mage144: *Oh hell yes it hurts him.*
Lithaladhwen: (PFft. XD )
J4deninj44: *unconscious*
Arch mage144: ...this student will need to go to the infirmary.
J4deninj44: (Zil: Wait but I didn't get to ask Hakaril if the curtains matched the carpet?)
Arch mage144: *draws his sword with his off-hand and idly plunges it, point-first, into Zil's right kneecap*
Lithaladhwen: *A girl in her late teens with dark blue hair jogs into the courtyard.* What the-- Archmagus Silvar? o_o
Lithaladhwen: John said... what the hell?
Arch mage144: He has multiple injuries.
J4deninj44: AAAAAAAAAAH!!
Lithaladhwen: (I LOL'd.)
Arch mage144: *pulls the sword out and resheathes it*
J4deninj44: *fucking awake NOW!*
Lithaladhwen: ....Reshtaha. That is not who I think it is.
Lithaladhwen: You know this boy?
Lithaladhwen: Uh... not... not well.
Lithaladhwen: What did he do?
Arch mage144: IM: I am many things, but I am not a murderer. Sorry to disappoint you. *faint, flickering image of a lanky goblinoid figure*
Lithaladhwen: >_>
Lithaladhwen: *says nothing*
Arch mage144: Threatened a faculty member, abused an animal, and insulted my wife.
Arch mage144: The last was really the straw that broke the chocobo's wings.
J4deninj44: *laughs*... ... *falls unconcious*
Kelne2261: *Shakes his head* Utterly mad.
Lithaladhwen: ....Uh... well... I can't say I'm all that broken up about it. Last time I saw him he sicced some scorpion succubus-hunting demon on me.
Lithaladhwen: We don't get on well.
Lithaladhwen: That was you?
J4deninj44: (Sirvix: I love it when Hakaril defends my honor. I get to defend his crotch with my va-*covers Precious ears and mouths the rest*)
Lithaladhwen: Well, Glykeria found him. I ...ended up fighting him.
Arch mage144: *actually looks at who's speaking* IM: Wait a minute. It's James's girlfriend.
Lithaladhwen: So, uh... yeah. I guess we should either finish him off or get him taken care of?
Lithaladhwen: Ask his opponent.
Arch mage144: *says nothing* Do as you wish with him.
Arch mage144: (I just realized that's a somewhat contradictory post.)
J4deninj44: (XD)
Kelne2261: (It is that.)
Arch mage144: (...put a pause in there.)
Lithaladhwen: As far as I'm concerned you can leave him to bleed to death or die of mana poisoning. After which point I'll likely experiment on him for a while and see how he likes it then.
Lithaladhwen: .....maybe... we should get ...a healer.
Kelne2261: I rather favour the nin-year-old-girl option.
Kelne2261: *nine
Lithaladhwen: I'll certainly be sorely tempted, Keros.
Lithaladhwen: But for now... miss, would you go retrieve a healer for us, please?
Kelne2261: *Heads over to make with the healing magic.*
J4deninj44: KON! =e\/e=
J4deninj44: ::is most displeased::
Lithaladhwen: *Deeeeep breath... but no protest.*
Kelne2261: *He's limiting himself to the life-threatening stuff. No sense in undoing everything.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I really want to saw off his hands and plant hyacinths in his arms.
J4deninj44: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: *looks a little pale*
Arch mage144: Get a healer. Someone who can handle demons. Insist that they not fix his leg.
Arch mage144: I'll be in my office if you need me any further. *pulls down his hat and walks off*
Lithaladhwen: *Tosses a little salute to James' dad and hurries off where she came from to find a healer of some variety.*
Kelne2261: *Already dealt with. One of the advantages of not using conventional healing magics.*
Lithaladhwen: *watches the two go and looks from Justine to Keros*
Lithaladhwen: Well that was...
Lithaladhwen: ....eventful.
J4deninj44: Kon? *licks Alya's face* ::Why so cold and color of book guts?::
Lithaladhwen: Thank you for seeing to him, Keros. But perhaps you should leave a good deal to the healers so that we can ensure he's properly supervised throughout his recovery.
Lithaladhwen: *is licked*
Lithaladhwen: *emotes vague nausea to Justine, but scratches under her collar anyway to let her know it's okay*
Kelne2261: Oh, certainly.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Absolute madness.
Arch mage144: IM: I will not have the blood of a student on my hands...*way out of the courtyard by now*
J4deninj44: Kon? *images of biting Zil*
Lithaladhwen: *glances off in the direction Hakaril took* You think he'll be all right?
Lithaladhwen: *scritchscritch for Justine*
Lithaladhwen: He's really in a state.
J4deninj44: ::Pleased that Alya is pleased and resumes looking like the damned top of the food chain::
Kelne2261: I think so. He hasn't done anything irrevocable.
Lithaladhwen: I know, I just... he... it's hard to explain.
Lithaladhwen: I was upset just being near him.
Lithaladhwen: That doesn't happen often anymore. I'm usually much better about insulating that.
J4deninj44: =e.e= ::We will protect Lady Alya from feeling. Where are they so that we can bite them?:: =>.>=
CGNakibe has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: Shh. *little hug for Justine coupled with a vague sense of gratitude*
Lithaladhwen: (Justine is communicating better with Alya. Has she decided that Alya is her human?)
J4deninj44: (I think so. She speaks rudimentary but she'll likely improve according to their relationship)
J4deninj44: common*
Lithaladhwen: (This is amusing.)
J4deninj44: (She just has an attitude I can't accurately emote. ^_^)
Kelne2261: *Nods* As for Zil here... *shrugs*
Kelne2261: I think he's been a lost cause for a long time now.
J4deninj44: *twitch....twitch*
Lithaladhwen: *sighs* Agreed. It's only a matter of damage control now. And whether we're willing to do what it takes to ensure he's kept ...a manageable threat at worst.
Arch mage144: *Even with magical healing, it's going to take a dedicated healer with astralist skills to properly repair his aura. It's possible that his ability as a mage has been permanently somewhat crippled.*
J4deninj44: (You should see his room. *cough* I mean...you shouldn't see his room.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hak just did the equivalent of kicking his ass and slashing his cheeks like the six-fingered man.)
Lithaladhwen: (He'll be back.)
J4deninj44: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: *Zea returns with two healers, who promply heave the boy up onto a stretcher while Zea watches with a scowl.*
Lithaladhwen: John said that he was going to die. Then I get here and find his time isn't quite up. Disappointing.
Lithaladhwen: ...John?
Lithaladhwen: My familiar. He said he spoke with Archmagus Silvar.
Lithaladhwen: Right. Well... at any rate. This is taken care of for now.
Lithaladhwen: I... think that I'm going to head back to the library and see if I can get some grading done.
Lithaladhwen: I've somehow managed to get sidetracked.
Lithaladhwen: Keros, thank you again for your help.
Lithaladhwen: You too, miss.
Lithaladhwen: Zea Mazuo.
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
Kelne2261: No problem.
Lithaladhwen: Take care.
J4deninj44: ::lifts her paw at Keros::
Kelne2261: *Shakes once more*
Lithaladhwen: T2Justine: You have him well-trained, dear.
J4deninj44: =e.e= ::Knows this:: =-.-= *puts her paw down and wags only one tail, Two tails would be too much for such a menial human trick*
J4deninj44: (Alya will never have a late book again ever...)
J4deninj44: (Lest they be eaten by the Book Guarding Demon of Prissy Doom.)
Kelne2261: IM: Alright, so the Cerbie isn't all that bad.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles and heads back to the library to do some work and find Justine a proper napping spot*
Lithaladhwen: </Alya>
Lithaladhwen: Wow. So...wow. Right. Um.
J4deninj44: (</RP)
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. I have to go finish what I was stitching.
Lithaladhwen: See you later, Keros.
J4deninj44: (Oh.)
Lithaladhwen: (Not just yet. Still have one character in play.)
Kelne2261: Yeah, I think that about sums it up. See you around.
Lithaladhwen: *heads off*
Lithaladhwen: </Zea>
Kelne2261: *With his day thoroughly disrupted, Keros moves on to a new project.*
