Josh rounded a corner and almost mowed down Mathieu and Ziyo.
"hey Ziyo. you ARE Ziyo right? Anyway, Mathieu. Look, Anna's all back alive *snip*

"Yeah, it's really me." he said, looking with annoyance at the sudden intrusion.

Josh rounded a corner and almost mowed down Mathieu and Ziyo.
"hey Ziyo. you ARE Ziyo right? Anyway, Mathieu. Look, Anna's all back alive now so if you want to go say soory for killing her or something like that, go for it. But before you go: Can you make me invisible. Cause my sister is trying to kill me,"said Josh, looking over his shoulder.
"FOUND YOU!" shouted Goltia, running around the corner and doing a flying tackle at Josh. Josh, with a look of terror on his face, dived out of the way. Goltia saw him jump but could stop herself in time: She ended up taking out Mathieu instead, landing on top of him.
"Oww...." morned Goltia, rubbing her head before noticing where her head was, on Mathieu's chest. Feeling her cheeks starting to burn and the black strecks in her hair going pink, she quickly got off him and said:"Sorry! Didn't mean too tackle you..." her voice trailing off. Shaking her head, she offered a hand to Mathieu.

OOC: you would sound rude too if your twin sister was out for your blood.

Kagetora;14408095']"Well that makes things a bit difficult. I can do a lot of things. But of course, I was going to the most prestigious Kagetorian university back before the accident. Ok, the rosary is good. OK, are you a good dancer?"

ooc: assuming the tackle happened after Ziyo's sentence...

ooc2: why is she trying to kill him?

ic:

"Oh, yeah, I was real popular at dances after zapping a girl," Mathieu joked again. Running into Josh, his eyes lit up, "She is?" Any answer was cut off by the tackle he recieved.

"No harm, miss...?" Mathieu said, taking the hand offered graciously. "You gotta be careful..."

OOC: Josh has some books that Goltia holds very dear and she wants them back.
IC:
"Yeah, shes alive and popular. Min, Professor Davis and some really tall guy are outside her room. I was there to check if she was-" the rest was cut off when Goltia punched Josh in the gut, after helping Mathieu help of course.
"Oww...What the fuck? You can have the books back, just don't kill me!" said Josh, putting up a shield around himself.
"Yeah? You should of given them back A YEAR AGO!!" shouted Goltia, hitting Josh's shield with a huge amount of strength. Josh looked at Mathieu and Ziyo with a look that said ' help me or i am going to die.'

Instinctively, Mathieu's hand shot out, holding Goltia's next blow.

"You're siblings," he scolded, "You shouldn't fight like this..."

"I actually think this is kinda funny." said Ziyo, then to Mathieu he said "My money's on the girl."

OOC: Hey FUS, are we still going to do that thing between Delphina and Lucus? I'm just checking.

OOC: Hey FUS, are we still going to do that thing between Delphina and Lucus? I'm just checking.
ooc: yes, but i gotta have her meet between anna and whately before she can 'depart' and all that. and sudova posts briefly...but yes, it will happen

OOC: just checking

OOC: your money would be well spent.

Goltia knew she could get herself out of the hold but she didn't. Her hand slowly went back to her side. Josh, still scared out of his wits, lowered his shield. Opening their link, Josh was instantly overcome with sadness. It was a moment before he worked out that it was coming from Goltia. Looking at her, he saw that she was crying. looking up, tears flowing from her eyes, she said:"I can't see them again. Mum, Dad, all my friends. none. I can't go home. i can't see our family..." walking forward Josh hugged her, whispering in her ear:"it will be ok." Pulling herself out of the hug, Goltia said:"sorry for hitting her, i guess it was just me trying to ignore the pain, the loss...But i still want the books!" with that Goltia waved at mathieu and Ziyo, then ran off to her dorm.
"Sisters, gotta love them," said Josh."If all girls are like that then we are screwed my friends."

"No kidding...although, I think Anna's more afraid of me," Mathieu chuckled. "Your sister's whacked, though."

"Look who your talking to,"said Josh." And she is normally a lot more calmer then that. But who would be calm when they are basicly told that they can't see their family again. You guys want to see if there is a recreation room on this station? after you've seen anna of course Mathieu. wonder if they have 8-ball tables...."

"Yeah...I know I wasn't calm," Mathieu said. He looked down the hall towards the dorms, "Well, I'll go try my luck, then. I'll catch up when I can," he said with a wave.

"Good luck!" said Josh." Say hi for me."

"Good luck!" said Josh." Say hi for me."
"Sure," he called over his shoulder.

Mathieu arrived at her dorm, noticing Min and Whately.

"Is Anna really okay?" he asked, "Can I see her?"

Goltia was walking bad to her dorm, several things going through her mind: first thing was Oh god i can't go home again. The second was That guy i tackled was kinda cute and the third:Know that i think about it, he was a LOT cute!

Please, no more! thought Josh, kinda freaked that his sister was getting the hots for one of his only friends at the school.
Oh sorry, replied Goltia, closing the link. but that didn't mean she stopped thinking about him.

Anna finished her shower, tried out the new hair-dryer (well, new to her-and far more convenient than using a towel), bound her hair up in a single braid and got dressed.

The Rosary. What to do with it... she didn't want to let it get harmed or stolen-at least, not until she'd spoken with Mat.

For now, then...she decided to wear it-under her blouse, where it would be safe from random pickpocketing.

Until her "Costume" could be laundered properly, anna had to make do with what the catalogue store had called "Business Casual" wear, and a good winter's cloak of wool-the last bit, because otherwise, she'd feel underdressed for the time of year even in the confines of the climate-controlled station.

She came out. "Hi, sorry I took so long getting cleaned up, I'd invite you in, but the place is a mess..." She looked at Min, "Thanks again." she added sincerely, then looked at Professor Davis and her guest.
"Ah...what's going on? If I missed a message or a class I'm sorry, but I was..kinda dead for a while?"

damn i'm tried, though Josh, yawning. Putting his hands in his pockets, he started making his way back to the Black Star dorms. He got to his room and his going through his pocket for the key when he felt something in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw that it was his Fallen God's pendent, the Blade of Auron. Made out of silver with some knots in the cord it was hanging from that were dyed red and blue, it was one of Josh's favorite things that he had. He thought for a moment before realising that Goltia most of slipped it into his pocket at some point. Smiling, he pulled it over his head and let it hang over his shirt. He then found his key but didn't unlock his door.
Should i? May as well, thought Josh, before heading off to Anna's dorm.

She came out. "Hi, sorry I took so long getting cleaned up, I'd invite you in, but the place is a mess..." She looked at Min, "Thanks again." she added sincerely, then looked at Professor Davis and her guest.
"Ah...what's going on? If I missed a message or a class I'm sorry, but I was..kinda dead for a while?"

"Not a problem, child." Professor Whately replied. "Ms. Okan, I will be delayed in beginning class-would you please go to Bay Five? You'll find several skimmer frames are set up-if you'd be good enough to have the students form into teams at any of the frameworks? I shall be along shortly-probably by the time teams have formed up. Thank you."

Min knew the tome of command, though she did admit Prof. Whately hid it under a fine veneer of civility, it did not disguise that she was dismissed.

Professor Whately looked over Anna''s outfit. "Ms. McCall, it would behoove you to don the uniform of the school, as you will be operating in a semi-official capacity.

"Some days ago, a young mutant was captured by the Turkish authorities and accused of the robbery at the Hagia Sophia. He was incarcerated at their prison, Ada Kismessis, awaiting trial, when he apparently slaughtered the guards and escaped.

"Now, the World Assembly permits this station for certain considerations, and the Pamaltelan government regards the Orbus Terrarum as their personal pond, we have been impressed upon to provide police to bring the young man in question to justice.

"The initial phase will be investigation, so I am asking you and Prof. Davis to head to Ada Kismessis to examine the scene, then to Istanbul to study the remains of the guards. Once you have completed your investigation, we will assign a second team to actually round up this 'dangerous' mutant." Whately harrumphed. "I have little doubt the accused could not do what he is accused of, and if he is encountered, I'd rather him brought to the station than handed over to the authorities-am I understood?"

Anna opened her dorm-room door, "First, an apology for my appearance-" she said, gesturing inside, "I hadn't finished cleaning up the mess, and these were close at hand, whereas my uniform wasn't..." she stepped back inside, and offered "Please wait in the main room, I'll only be a moment."

She went to her bags, and pulled out the second uniform-it hadn't been to the tailor yet, but it was required. "I'll only be a moment."

She dashed into the bathroom cubicle, closed the door, and hurriedly changed-a skill learned back in the sixties-when Anna had to change from school-clothes to...other clothes, that her Parents did not approve of.

The uniform fit 'well enough', but it was clearly less well-fitted than the one she'd worn earlier today.

Thank god it's not form-fitting!

Anna came back out in less than two minutes. "I take it, you want the dead guards' testimony?" she asked, "along with any other casualties? Do you have a recorder-sometimes eyewitnesses get details off, we'll need to match common points to get an accurate story."

"Prof. Davis can supply you with what you need." Whately informed her. "I must tend to my class-we are experiencing a shortage of faculty of late, which does not please me in the slightest.
"It's bad enough I shall be late without the scathing commentary of our resident wags..."

Selphie totaly confused, decided to go back to her room. On her way she met up with Goltia.
"hey Goltia...um i was wondering if you knew about school things, like activities??"

Anna finished her shower, tried out the new hair-dryer (well, new to her-and far more convenient than using a towel), bound her hair up in a single braid and got dressed.

ooc: OD, for forum's-sake, I think we should elect that the country be one of ours and not a RL country. I'd volunteer my nation.

"Of course," Delphina nodded as Whately left them.

Anna hadn't seen Mathieu, who had been standing to the side and letting the Professor speak. He stepped into view and walked over to Anna.

"Hi...Anna," he said shyly. "Um...are you okay? I'm really sorry..." his voice faded.

"I'll be...waiting down the hall," Delphina said, leaving to give them some privacy.

Anna reached out, and took Mathieu's hand. "I'm fine now." she said, "I know you didn't mean to hurt me-and it's my fault too-I moved things too fast." she said sincerely. She drew the rosary out of her shirt. "Do you want this back?"

"You're going away, right?" MAthieu asked rhetorically. "Keep it; you may not believe in Him, but He does...and so do I," he concluded, stepping forward. He cupped her cheek in his free hand, "And as for earlier..." he said, leaning forward and kissing her-without the electrocution.

Anna kissed him back. It made her toes tingle. They held a few moments. When the kiss broke, she said, "Now...That's a much better one." She stepped away from him for a moment, reached under the bed, and pulled out a wooden box.

The box was old, old wood, and covered in carvings. She opened it, and drew out a hammered silver ring. "Here." she held it out, and pressed it into his hand, "A reminder until I get back." she said, "It's lucky."

[ooc :Free United States, check the OOC thread in a few minutes, the ring's significant.]

Josh WOULD of been there to see Mathieu kiss Anna again but for a fight in the hallway over a bottle of vodka. After several tries, Josh finally got said vodka out of the hands of the 2 people fighting and took it for himself. Taking a swing, he said:"WOH! that is strong."
taking the corner he saw the 2 of them mid kiss. DAMNIT! He can kill with a kiss and he STILL gots some? He must be the luckiest person in the universe to find the one girl who can't die, thought Josh. He waited til they had finished before walking up and going:"hey. You going somewhere? here, have a swing. A goodluck drink, if will." when he had finished speaking, he offered the bottle to the both of them.

Meanwhile....
"Oh hey Selphie. Nah, i have no clue what to expect from the classes," replied Goltia.

"..oh, anyways, i would like too meet your brother, and maybe his friends? could you arrange that for me?"
Selphie now went inside the room and tried to rearrange her items and stuff

"Sure ok. He' like me, except slighty more crazy,"said Goltia."as for his friends, i've only meet one of them and...well..." her voice trailed off as she thought about Mathieu again, before noticing that the black strecks in her hair were going pink again.Continuing:"My brother should be easy to meet. I'll bring him over next to us at dinner OK?"

"YAY! great, I cant Wait." Selphie stopped her arranging of stuff and switched to do her hair and finding something to wear. She kept thinking what was going on with the sudden change of hair. Either way she knew something was up.

"Good morning," The Sphincter said to Kagai, having made sure that no one was within earshot and that the room was not bugged. "I trust that you recognize what we have in common," he continued. "I have a certain...proposition for you...if you're interested. There are certain...mental defectives...who are in the way of my ascent to power. You seem to be the same way. Perhaps together we can clear some of the obstacles that neither of us alone have been able to put in their proper places.

"Are you game?"

Josh WOULD of been there to see Mathieu kiss Anna again but for a fight in the hallway over a bottle of vodka. After several tries, Josh finally got said vodka out of the hands of the 2 people fighting and took it for himself. Taking a swing, he said:"WOH! that is strong."

"Hi Josh!" Anna managed to not fluster. she took Mathieu's hand, and held it in a decidedly 'MINE' grip. She took the bottle with her other hand, and offered it to Mathieu first. "You've been tippling." she noted, looking Josh over, "What's wrong?"

"Sister's here. I'll introduce you some time. you'll like her,' said Josh,."And I am NOT drinking lots....i've had like 2 drinks from it. Ok maybe i lied. i am the tiniest bit drunk. Not enough to lose my sense though. And just have a drink. Its good luck in the ICO to have a drink of vodka before leaving on a ship, space or otherwise." when he had finished, Josh lent against the wall and said almost to himself:" Damn. Now the only single chick on this station is a 17 year old trained killer. I am screwed."

Anna raised the bottle, and took a drink. How she made that look dainty and demure is a mystery best left to women-or sociologists, it's a secret that MAN was not meant to know. "A successful Venture, and Good winds." she added.

Meanwhile, back at Goltia and Selphie room:

"Well, i guess I'll just wait here..." Selphie, now finished with all the things she was doing, she decides to go and turn on the TV. The news channel appeared, and she noticed a report on the recently invaded Dukedom of Dollet. She quickly changed the channel. There was a cooking show on, and to Selphie's surprise, there was a recipe for 'Ms. Moogle Pie' her fav.

"No way, i need a pen!!"

"yeah," said Josh, before gabbing the pendent around his neck and starting to pray. Finishing, he said:"well, see ya! i need to sleep, and i don't want to pass out in the hallway."

"here,"said Goltia, throwing Selphie a pen and paper. She kinda liked Selphie. So what if she was slightly weird. who wasn't?

"oh thanks, now i can copy this," Selphie smiled "Ill make this pie someday."

Selphie jots down the recipe and gives back the pen. "well, tell me when dinner is ready, or whatever, thanx again

ooc: sweet, lol. i can see much hilarity ensuing

ic:

"It's beautiful," Mathieu kissed her again, slipping it onto his finger, trying it out. "I'll treasure it as I wait for you," he smiled boyishly.

Anna raised the bottle, and took a drink. How she made that look dainty and demure is a mystery best left to women-or sociologists, it's a secret that MAN was not meant to know. "A successful Venture, and Good winds." she added.
"Yeah...no," Delphina appeared behind Anna, taking the bottle from her. "We have to get going," she smiled at the two youths, her eyes momentarily noting his new ring. "I'll make sure she comes back to you," she promised Mathieu, who blushed as he held her hand.

"Oh god,' said Josh."If you two are going to kiss every five second, i'm going to throw myself out of a airlock." with that, Josh walked back to his room, tripping up along the way and falling face first onto the floor."Oww...Professor! Can i have the vodka back please?" asked Josh, pulling himself up off the floor."jezz...what are these floors made out of? Diamond?"

"Oh god,' said Josh."If you two are going to kiss every five second, i'm going to throw myself out of a airlock." with that, Josh walked back to his room, tripping up along the way and falling face first onto the floor."Oww...Professor! Can i have the vodka back please?" asked Josh, pulling himself up off the floor."jezz...what are these floors made out of? Diamond?"

"Sure, lemme see ID with your birthdate on it," Delphina smiled sweetly.

'Crap,"said Josh."i'm 15. and i was giving them a farewell.'
Damnit, now i wish the floors WERE diamond. At least the fall would of knock me out then, thought Josh a split second before he remembered that Professor Davis is a mind reader.
"i'm just going to lock myself in my room and not come out for a few hours now."

'Crap,"said Josh."i'm 15. and i was giving them a farewell.'

"i'm just going to lock myself in my room and not come out for a few hours now."
"Wait, Josh," Delphina put a gently restraining hand on his shoulder. She looked around the hall. "Don't be upset..." she frowned, "One drink for each of you...no more. Is that fair?"

"Ok then," said Josh, taking the bottle and taking a swing. Giving it back he said:"I'm done. I have to sleep now or i'm going to sleep through the rest of my class today. When do classes finish for the day anyway?"

"Ok then," said Josh, taking the bottle and taking a swing. Giving it back he said:"I'm done. I have to sleep now or i'm going to sleep through the rest of my class today. When do classes finish for the day anyway?"
"Whately is preparing a class soon," Delphina said, "So don't be too long." She placed a hand on his forehead, a wave of calm going through him, "Be at peace."

ooc: her healing extends to psychological problems as well. that's not gaining a power, is it?

"Thanks..." said Josh dreamily , before walking off to his room. After closing the door and locking it, he found his alarm clock, set it and then laied down on his bed and went to sleep.

OOC: No i don't think it is.

OOC: most likely when hes awake or at the next class(whatever it is)

:o im not working does that make me a lazy bastard too?
ooc: yep ^_<

Selphie now decides to fall asleep. She goes into the bathroom, not minding Goltia, and changes to her Pj's. which were decorated with over-grown chickens called "Chocobos".

"(yawn), well I'm off to bed. i feel kinda tired and don't want to get up again."

"Okay then,"said Goltia, who was reading a book."i need to sleep as well." putting the book down, she gott out her sleeping t-shirt and changed into it. She then climbed into her bed and went to sleep.

"Are you game?"

"I'm listening." said Kagai, searching through his copy of Ziyo's memories looking for Reardon's ability. Interesting.

Ziyo had meanwhile made his way over to Bay 5.

OOC: Good job keeping page 87 clear of OOC posts

"Well... it depends. What is it, and what are the side effects?" Will immediately started to think about the typical medications of modern technology with all of those advertised possible side effects. Please do not consume if you are pregnant. After taking this product you may have liver problems. The list went on and on. You know, Lucas was right about that one thing. My powers make me what I am. Do I really want to suppress them that much?

"It can send some people insane," started Lucus as he sat on one of the desks. "But it can also help you to control your powers. I can understand if you don't want to go ahead with the offer. Do you want to go with this?" finished Lucus.

You haven't even told me what it is...

"No. Not only do I not know what this treatment or whatever it is is, I do not want to risk insanity." William firmly stated his opinion.

"That's ok," replied Lucus as he avoided making someone insane. "So the question is, how are you going to control your powers?" questioned Lucus as he thought about it for a moment.

'Human's always have the same problems,' Rex thought to Lucus as Lucus tried to think.

'Calm down Rex,' thought Lucus. 'At least you didn't have to leave me,'

"Luckily, others are so concerned with my special powers that they never notice that I observe where others merely see," Reardon said, "and I observed that those who were most dangerous to you, who foiled your plans, were the telepaths. Without them, your stealth mechanisms would enable you to succeed where, because of them, you have failed.

"If they were out of the way, what would stop us from infiltrating this school's faculty/student database and targeting those who had the most to offer?"

Prof. Whately entered Bay Five, glad to have handed off dealing with the difficult Pamaltelans and their officious Ordo Boztakangi.

(OOC:This is just for purposes of restating the government involved, since no one bothered to read that bit in the initial post)

The Bay was largely empty (as only Sareau and Ziyo have headed there) as he looked about it. "Well, gentlemen, let me apologize for my tardiness-naturally, as instructor, class will be held over to make up for the time-there are advantages to authority.

"Just put your assignments in that bin over there and pick up one of the schematics near it and we'll begin-after giving the others an opportunity to arrive." Whately checked his watch-he had told them to report to Bay Five, and even send Ms. Okan to round them up-there were no alarms, so what was keeping them?

Ziyo walked over, dropping his assignment off and picking up the hand out. He studied it for a moment.
"What exactly am I looking at?" he asked the professor

"We got to get to class," stated Lucus. "We'll pick this up after the class or when we have free time," finished Lucus.

Lucus hurried himself as he picked up his report that he somehow managed to do when he had a few moments to himself. His eyes darted about as he arrived in Bay 5 and found Professor Whately and a few other students waiting for the others to arrive.

"Sorry I'm late sir," apologised Lucus as he handed his report onto the bin which had the others placed.

"Quite all right-had a busy day." Prof. Whately replied. "What you are looking at, Mr. Ziyo, is the plans for a short-range skimmer, spaceworthy, but really suited more to short trips, limited to orbit, really.

"This is the beginning of a simple exercise in teamwork-after forming teams, you will construct your skimmers. This exercise will teach you the beginnings of teamwork, as will any customizing of your team's skimmer as should be permitted.

"I do not believe I need to impress upon you the value of a shared vehicle suitable for taking you between this station and the planet below, and the construction phase should begin you on the path to teamwork."

Selphie now woke up.
(yawn)"ohh..ummm,(yawn again) well, I'm going to go get ready." She said aloud, not thinking about if Goltia was asleep or not. Selphie quickly gathered her towel and her stuff to go into the bathroom.

Josh jerked up as his alarm went off. He was feeling better but would need more sleep later. Grabbing his jacket and carry bag, he looked down his link to she that Goltia was asleep.
GOLTIA!!!TIME FOR CLASS! shouted Josh, mentally.
Wha ? Oh right thanks replied Goltia, who got up out of bed and quickly got changed back into her normal clothes. Grabbing her timetable and map, she found where the class was and started to head there, Josh doing the same. a few minutes later they walked into Bay 5 at the same time, Goltia brushing her hair as she did so.

Selphie has finished her bath.
"Ok, im all set" said the energetic girl, off to class

"Hey Josh,"said Goltia, walking up to her brother.
"Hey sis. What do you want?"asked Josh, looking around for Mathieu so he would have an excuse to not talk to Goltia.
"My room mate wants to meet you," replied Goltia, with a look that said:'you ARE going to do what i say'.
"OK then, lead the way,"said Josh, hoping that listening to her would help him avoid a broken bone or 10.

selphie hurries to class, and accidently bumps into Goltia, making selphie drop her books..
"Uhh!," (bumped into Goltia) "oh my gosh im soo sorry Goltia."

"Its ok,"said Goltia, help Selphie with her books."Hey Selphie, this is my brother, Josh. Say hi Josh."
Say hi or i break both of your knees said Goltia mentally.
Ok Ok replied Josh.

"Hi i'm Josh,"said Josh, offering a hand.

Selphie grabs Josh's hands, and replies

"Well, im selphie tilminn, but i guess Goltia kinda introduced me." Selphie gives Goltia a thanx for picking up some of her books.

"So, josh. Im glad to have finaly met you." Selphie stopped as if awaiting an answer

"We got to get to class," stated Lucus. "We'll pick this up after the class or when we have free time," finished Lucus.

Lucus hurried himself as he picked up his report that he somehow managed to do when he had a few moments to himself. His eyes darted about as he arrived in Bay 5 and found Professor Whately and a few other students waiting for the others to arrive.

"Sorry I'm late sir," apologised Lucus as he handed his report onto the bin which had the others placed.

"OK, I'll just follow you," William walked into Bay Five and stopped right in front of Professor Whately. Come on, focus, he mentally mumbled as more and more information started to come into his head. Hey, it's working! Lucas's technique at least helped him partly close his mind. Then he turned to the Professor.

"Sorry, sir," he said, trying to be clear. "I am rather new here, and there appears to be some report due?" William started to get the information from everyone around him. "My deepest apologies." He moved to take a seat near the front of the class, next to Lucas.

(OOC:Bay Five doesn't have any seats in it)

"Not to worry, Mr. Aldridge. Please, pick a team and go over the schematic with them. Building a team skimmer is part of today's assignment, and the experience will teach you to work as a team.

"As far as yesterday's assignment, you're a telepath, not a precognitive, so I shan't base your grade on it's absence. Now, get started-this experience should prove satisfying."

(OOC:The class is going to revolve around working together building the skimmers, then racing them about the station. Take your time, form teams, and sabotage each other if that's your thing.)

ooc: also, let's have mat there. i'm delayed having him 'travel' there due to sudova...

not that i'm knocking you sudova, cuz i'm not

Anna let Mathieu go-for the moment, and focused her attention, "Alright, Professor, I hope what I can do will help the investigation." she said, "Lead on."

[ooc: Presumably Mat went on to his next class and Anna was left with the supervising adults...[/i]

"All right," Delphina said, saddened that she would have to leave Lucus without saying anything. She led the way.

---------------------

Mathieu walked off, turning back as he caught the last glimpse of Anna, watching her go...

He showed up at Bay 5 exceedingly late, standing with Lucus and the others.

"So, what's going on?" he asked Lucus.

ooc: OD, i still need some info about how Delphina should proceed.

ooc2: lynion, this is a prompt for you to 'meet' her before she leaves

"We're making spacecraft. Anyone want some help? I was looking for a degree in aerospace engineering before my accident." said Ziyo in response to Lucus' question.

"So...I'm assuming these are Mullahmen*?" Anna asked, "Being the Hagia Sophia's location in the middle east and all." she added. The slip was essentially innocent, but it was a sharp reminder to the Professor that Anna wasn't just from an isolationist culture, but also from an era in that culture with a lot of...bad ideas.

"I'm asking, because it could be difficult for their families when I make them talk-They might see it as a desecration or something." she continued, "In which case, we might need some help getting out."

[*Mullahmen is a pejorative for Muslims dating back to the Victorian era. Sudovan ships generally avoid ports in Muslim nations, and the country's government treats most of the Islamic World like it simply does not exist-though there is currently a hard-core ban on contact with the United Taifas in effect, with travel restrictions over that nation's policy of enslaving Catholics. Sudovans never took Slaves-even in the dark days of their raiding/nomadic period. They might kill everyone in a village, or turn them loose at the shore, but they never kept captives or engaged in bond-servitude. Doing so is viewed as dishonourable for both the captive, and the captor.]

"Well, I take it they don't take kindly to the slur Mullahmen," Delphina said as they made their way to the hangar. "And, despite my lack of offensive powers, I do have a talent for evading," she smiled. "You don't learn just how to use your powers, especially if your powers are as...neutral, as ours."

"We're trying to make a spacecraft," smiled Lucus as he took a gulp from his flask before he turned to Ziyo. "We wouldn't mind the help..." Lucus put his flask on his belt when he noticed his thoart felt like something sour was going through it. "That's odd..." muttered Lucus to himself as he pulled out another flask and took a gulp before feeling something sour go through his viens. "I'll be back in a second," said Lucus as he went to the door to Bay 5 and took a drink from the fountain. The water tasted find and it removed his sour feeling in his thoart. He calmly empty his flask's as the blood substance went through the waste system.

'Be calm,' thought Lucus to himself as he filled up his flask's with water. 'Malting...skinning is what's it called. Man this is going to be painful...' thought Lucus as he drank a little bit more before straighting himself up. 'Thank the Almighty that I didn't fall sick,' finished Lucus as he went back to the others.

"How are we going to make this air tight?" Lucus asked as he had no idea how to construct a space craft.

'Blasted Whately,' thought Lucus as he glanced at Delphina. 'I wonder if he suspects something between us,'

Anna slapped her lips with her left hand, "Oh, my...good thing I found out that before we arrived, that could have been embarassing."

*snip*
"How are we going to make this air tight?" Lucus asked as he had no idea how to construct a space craft.*snip*


"Hey are you ok?" asked Ziyo after Lucus had come back before answering the question. "Very precise welding, and a lot of electromagnetics." he finished creating arcs of electricity between his fingers

As they walked, "Is it true? do they pray five times a day?" Anna asked, "On their knees? without making a sacrifice, and that they don't let their women show their faces in public?"
Anna's mind was bouncing with curiosity, but it was also, at least at the surface, almost painfully naive, stocked with ideas that may have been current forty to two hundered years ago, but aren't current today...

"and is it true that they rig their own children up as bombs to show their anger?" Except one misconception-one that was and is all over the Internet and cable news channels.

"I'm cool," replied Lucus. "Just had a sour taste in my mouth," finished Lucus as he listened to the answer Ziyo gave him. "Sounds like its simple,"

"There are many different forms," Delphina said, "All of which do the five-prayers, which is one of the Five Tenets of Islam," she instructed. "The call to prayer is actually very beautiful..." Delphina commented. "Some denominations don't let them show their faces...some are 'covered' more strictly than others. Other groups have less strict dress codes." She sighed. "As for that last part...extremists who pervert the fundmentals of their religion sometimes do that...and to themselves. The one's who do that are not true believers, as they ignore the teachings of Islam." Quite inconspicuously, she noted the rosary around her neck. She smiled; Mathieu...

OOC: You could've picked up Lucus' thoughts FUS.

OOC: You could've picked up Lucus' thoughts FUS.
ooc: um, sorry...what thoughts? about delphina...?

ic:

As she talked, Delphina concentrated on Lucus, sending him her thoughts to him.

OOC: Yep

OOC: Yep
ooc: k, then...wanna reply to delphina, then?

'Why am I picking up Delphina's thoughts?' thought Lucus as he was aware Delphina could dectect his thoughts.

'She likes you Lucus,' thought Rex while Lucus tried to stay on the task set before him.

'I know she does because she told,' replied Lucus in his thoughts as that sour feeling went through his mouth. 'But would she still like me when it happens?'

'I think she will,' replied Rex with his thoughts. 'These things happens when we least expect it and I'm sure she'll stand with you,'

'I dunno Rex,' thought Lucus. 'I get told it can have side effects on us. When you do it Rex, do it when we're alone so I can control myself,' finished Lucus. 'I don't wanna hurt anyone, especially her,'

Lucus, are you there...? I'm going away. I hope to see you soon

'I can hear you Delphina,' replied Lucus in thoughts as he glanced up at her. 'Delphina I wish you luck and....' Lucus suddenly stopped in thought as he tried to find words that wouldn't alarm her. 'and I hope you come back safely. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you in person but things have gotten in the way,' contiuned Lucus.

"Hey Mathieu, wanna work with us? More people, less time." Ziyo asked, looking over the blueprint again.

'I can hear you Delphina,' replied Lucus in thoughts as he glanced up at her. 'Delphina I wish you luck and....' Lucus suddenly stopped in thought as he tried to find words that wouldn't alarm her. 'and I hope you come back safely. I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you in person but things have gotten in the way,' contiuned Lucus.
Go to my office in my classroom, Delphina explained. There's a small white cube. When you have time, touch it and think about me.

Kagetora;14414428']"Hey Mathieu, wanna work with us? More people, less time." Ziyo asked, looking over the blueprint again.
"Yeah, sure," Mathieu nodded, playing with the ring on his finger.

"Alright cool." said Ziyo, looking at Lucus, who seemed to have gone into a trance of some sort. "Hey Lucus, you ready to start?"

"Ready to start when you are," smiled Lucus as he did one last thing before he cut off the thoughts he was sharing with Delphina.

'I have to go. My friends need me,' thought Lucus to Delphina. 'I hope we can have some time together when you get back,'

"Nice ring Matheiu," pointed out Lucus as he noticed the ring on Matheiu's finger.

"Ready to start when you are," smiled Lucus as he did one last thing before he cut off the thoughts he was sharing with Delphina.

'I have to go. My friends need me,' thought Lucus to Delphina. 'I hope we can have some time together when you get back,'

"Nice ring Matheiu," pointed out Lucus as he noticed the ring on Matheiu's finger.
"Oh, thanks," Mathieu said, looking at the blueprint himself, "Anna gave it to me...isn't she sweet?" he smiled.

"That's very kind of her," replied Lucus as he smiled at something before looking back at the blueprint. "Anyhow, where are we going to get the parts for this device?"

"We could always rip apart the classroom, but I don't think that would go over very well with Whately."

As Delphina and Anna flew down, they were instructed to set the shuttle on remote pilot and allow the Order of the Dragon to guide them safely down. The shuttle flew cautiously but swiftly to a cave on Ada Kismessis, where they were greeted by a monk in robes of midnight blue, so dark as to appear black. "Oh-you're both women." his tone indicated disappointment. "Well, I'm certain you will be up to the task-may I bring you some wine and cakes, or perhaps some tea? --Or would you prefer to start right away? We have most of the remains still here, and you are to be permitted access to the Hagia Sophia for your investigation, of course..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whately listened to Lucus and Ziyo's exchange before directing them: "The parts are all through the bay, gentlemen-study the schematics and find them-I've sort of piled them all together-it's confusing, but the class is in teamwork.

"Mr. Sareau, I see you teleporting your parts to your framework-the name of the class is teamwork, so if you could assemble a team..."

"Yes, Professor-I shall once more students arrive..."

As Delphina and Anna flew down, they were instructed to set the shuttle on remote pilot and allow the Order of the Dragon to guide them safely down.

"Now, Anna," Delphina said psychicly. "Don't let him get to you...act confident and don't show any hesitation."

She stepped forward, "I'm Davis, and this is my assistant, Miss McCall," she introduced themselves. Her white alb fluttered a bit, "Take us to the remains," she said authoritively.

"Hahaha," laughed Lucus as he saw the shuttle take off with Delphina. "We always do that or we could just take a shuttle apart and use its parts to help us," finished Lucus.

"Hahaha," laughed Lucus as he saw the shuttle take off with Delphina. "We always do that or we could just take a shuttle apart and use its parts to help us," finished Lucus.
"Well, let's make a list of what we need, and then we can better figure out where to get it from," Mathieu suggested. "We obviously need engines," he chuckled, looking around.

"We'll need a cockpit, wings, tail, plating to keep the ship in shape, windshield and we need something to attach the ship to the docking bays of the station," stated a now serious Lucus.

"We'll need a cockpit, wings, tail, plating to keep the ship in shape, windshield and we need something to attach the ship to the docking bays of the station," stated a now serious Lucus.
With a pen, Mathieu wrote this down on his hand, making a list. "All right, let's get the cockpit and structural parts first, right?" he suggested.

"That's a good start," replied Lucus as he looked at Zyio. "Unless we need to start else where, then we start with the cockpit,"

"That's a good start," replied Lucus as he looked at Zyio. "Unless we need to start else where, then we start with the cockpit,"
Mathieu nodded and began to search, leading his friends along.

Anna slyed a glance at her professor, "He didn't expect me to be a girl?" she thought experimentally (trying to 'think it' so that the Professor could hear it clearly.) her amusement (on the surface of her mind) was light and airy...but there was a something grinding behind it that the telepath could hear, something chilly and ancient, that was not amused. Unconsciously, she pulled her own cloak tighter around herself, as if to block out a chill.

"Now, Anna," Delphina said psychicly. "Don't let him get to you...act confident and don't show any hesitation."

She stepped forward, "I'm Davis, and this is my assistant, Miss McCall," she introduced themselves. Her white alb fluttered a bit, "Take us to the remains," she said authoritively.


Anna managed a dignified curtsy, and a pose of silent respect for her Professor-the proper student position, such as it was. Part of Anna's mind wondered idly how much of the city they were now in had been here and survived, when The People waged Bulvei's Vengeance in the tenth century.
She also wondered, just as idly, how vicious the locals would be if they knew their men were about to be forced to return and speak after dying-Anna's knowledge of monotheists told her that the families would likely see what she was about to do as a desecration-possibly even unholy in more than one way.

The monk lead them into the corridors, still damp with nitre. Professor Davis repressed a shiver-all the prisoners of Ada Kismessis were still here, their place in the cycle disrupted by the horrors they endured.

"You notice? ...Well, of course you would." the monk casually observed. "The pashas of Irabek were cruel, vicious barbarians, and this place was the pinnacle of their achievements. We dare not let the muri here, much less the Ordo Zorak Zorani-those dedicated to the Wrath of Darkness would level the place, and the muri shun it as an abomination, even those of the Ordo Annilla."

His steps were steady, though it was obvious even he felt something in this place of brutality and death. "When we discovered this island, the last of the prisoners had turned to cannibalism before their starvation. It has left a mark. If this disturbs you, we will move the bodies to Istanbul, but we felt it best you observe the scene as undisturbed as possible.

"According to our own investigation, one individual did this-the footprints indicate a man's shoe. Their faces-well, you will see..."

He opened the door to a long corridor, where bodies in guards' uniforms lay strewn about, their faces frozen in horror if they had not self-mutilated before their demise.. "I know this is distasteful, but these men were Ordo Boztakangi-enforcers of the Law, police. They did not deserve their fates. The wounds seem self-inflicted, save for this guard--" he indicated a portly corpse riddled with spear holes, laying in a puddle of dilute dried blood. "Who was repeatedly impaled-the blood is mostly water. If I may be of any assistance...."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prof. Whately listened to the students, pleased with Lucus and Ziyo's conclusions. "An excellent suggestion, gentlemen-perhaps a scavenger hunt, but if you are caught...well, teamwork has a price."

He smiled at them, his expression unreadable from his eyes. "You will note for this project, I am not limiting you in powers, but the Powers That Be will not approve of scavenging, so I shall not authorize it--though I will not be the one to catch you in the act nor punish you."

Sareau smiled beneath his mask-it would be child's play to bring the required parts, all he would need is someone to help attach them...

(OOC:Bay Five doesn't have any seats in it)

"Thank you very much, sir." William turned around and stopped next to Lucas, the only person he knew, Mathieu, and Ziyo. And then he caught a weird thought conversation between Lucas and Delphina - but William couldn't understand what was going on. I'll ask him later.

"Do you guys mind if I join you?" He turned an eye over the blueprints, as well as over everyone's mind to figure out their ideas. William had some forming in his mind as well. "I'm William, or you can call me Will, and I'm a telepathic with some limited telekinetic powers."

Selphie grabs Josh's hands, and replies

"Well, I'm Selphie Tilmin, but i guess Goltia kinda introduced me." Selphie gives Goltia a thanks for picking up some of her books.

"So, josh. I'm glad to have Finaly met you." Selphie stopped as if awaiting an answer



"....Right. Well, anyways, I guess we should be doing our work." Selphie sorta asked and demanded at the same time.

Selphie left the group(Goltia and Josh) and began to look around the room. She saw the teacher of Bay Five, and asked: " Um...excuse me, am I in the right class?" Selphie knew already that she was late

He smiled at them, his expression unreadable from his eyes. "You will note for this project, I am not limiting you in powers, but the Powers That Be will not approve of scavenging, so I shall not authorize it--though I will not be the one to catch you in the act nor punish you."

Sareau smiled beneath his mask-it would be child's play to bring the required parts, all he would need is someone to help attach them...

"Thank you very much, sir." William turned around and stopped next to Lucas, the only person he knew, Mathieu, and Ziyo. And then he caught a weird thought conversation between Lucas and Delphina - but William couldn't understand what was going on. I'll ask him later.

"Do you guys mind if I join you?" He turned an eye over the blueprints, as well as over everyone's mind to figure out their ideas. William had some forming in his mind as well. "I'm William, or you can call me Will, and I'm a telepathic with some limited telekinetic powers."

"I don't mind," Mathieu offered his palm-notebook. "This is what we need," he explained. "We could use a telekinetic," he smiled, "To lift stuff, y'know...I can use my electricity to weld." Mathieu offered in return.

"I don't mind," Mathieu offered his palm-notebook. "This is what we need," he explained. "We could use a telekinetic," he smiled, "To lift stuff, y'know...I can use my electricity to weld." Mathieu offered in return.

"OK. I'm not very reliable, but," he scanned the list, "I could probably lift most of these. When do we get started?"

"OK. I'm not very reliable, but," he scanned the list, "I could probably lift most of these. When do we get started?"
"We gotta find parts," Mathieu said. "They're somewhere in here, but we can't scavange, or we can and we might get caught and get in trouble," he explained, "I dunno, these rules are always contradictory."

"He wants us to scavenge, but do it so we don't get caught." said Ziyo, toying with a ball of electricity. "But you don't start with the cockpit. You start with the skeleton, the support beams, and build around that."

"Oh, okay..." Mathieu nodded. He really hated being the dumb-dumb all the time. He began to look around, "Hey...there's spare parts here...can't we use those?" he asked.

"No, you may go," Delphina said authoritively again. "Miss McCall, begin on that first corpse," she pointed to a police officer, "I will begin on the guard."

ooc: just a small thing, but please don't control how my char would feel. it's diff. than if i had Mat shock someone and said, "They felt a tingling...". Despite her 'daintiness' Davis is very capable, and that statement detracted from that. Thank you.

Anna knelt by the spear-riddled guard. (The psychic grumbling increased) She knew this man. She'd never met him before, but she knew him..."Feel no more Fear." she said. The tone wasn't comforting, it was a command. "Speak your name." The room seemed to grow somehow softer, like a misty place, and though the lights were arranged to minimize shadows, Anna's shadow seemed to expand. She looked at the Monk, "you may begin recording." Anna didn't look entirely like Anna anymore-despite the lighting, half of her face was darker, sucked in, almost corpse-like.

Delphina nodded as Anna began her reading, as she knelt down to her own subject. Placing her hand on his forehead, a white glow eminated from his skin, wisps coarsing along her fingertips. Tell me, what happened, poor soul lost in the dark...

"Oh, okay..." Mathieu nodded. He really hated being the dumb-dumb all the time. He began to look around, "Hey...there's spare parts here...can't we use those?" he asked.

"I'm sure we can." said Ziyo, looking over the parts, tapping them, seeing how well they conducted electricity, and even smelling them. "They seem to be titanium from what I remember."

Kagetora;14416823']"I'm sure we can." said Ziyo, looking over the parts, tapping them, seeing how well they conducted electricity, and even smelling them. "They seem to be titanium from what I remember."
"Um...will that be hard to weld?" Mathieu asked, snapping his finger, demonstrating a thin blue line of energy.

"If you aren't familiar with titanium, yes. Don't worry, I've taken courses in this kind of thing. Before you weld the actual skimmer, I'll make sure you know what you're doing." said Ziyo

"Ok, cool," Mathieu smiled, extinguishing the 'flame.'

"What are we going to use to keep the skeleton together?" Lucus asked as he glanced at William's before the blueprint.

ooc: I was referring to Ordo Drakul's post. In it, he says Delphina shivers, which she wouldn't. As a former nurse during war, she's seen dead bodies and such...
(OOC:As the only one present to pick up psychically on the thousand plus years of horror and madness of the prisoners, this is as far from the standard battle fields she is used to as Auswitz was from a soap factory.)

"What are we going to use to keep the skeleton together?" Lucus asked as he glanced at William's before the blueprint.

"We'll just weld it, I guess." What does he mean? William couldn't quite get his finger on the answer, and then the information flow was getting too great so he partly shut the door. However, he was still alarmed at what Ziyo was proposing.

"He doesn't want us to scavenge." William paused. "So, clearly, there's some other way of doing this that the professor wants us to think of. The magic question is, what is it?"

Professor Rufus Lannergan walked in to hear a few of the students discussing welding a skeleton together, and scavenging for parts. "If you guys need parts, just ask the guys dealing with all the metal waste. Less they have to pack up for planet-side disposal."

Lannergan hefted one of the sheets of metal, noting that it was Titanium. "Oh, and be careful with welding this stuff. If you heat it up without taking the proper precautions, the heated titanium will absorb any impurities and this will be useless for any high-stress activity. Do your research, figure out how you're going to weld it. You need anything, see me."

Rufus strolled off to see Whately. "Salve Professor. So tell me, what exactly are you having these poor students build? Or at least, what are you making them attempt to build? It looks interesting."

"Thank you very much... sir." William turned away from Rufus to focus onto the group once again. What the? William tried to burrow into Rufus's mind, but was... not stopped, really. It's like a ripple in space. What the... He was lost for words, until he thought about what he said. I'll consider this later. But... what?

"Guys, I think that this guy has a good point. Would asking for parts from the garbage guys be considered scavenging, do you think?" I don't really know.

"This is, of course, only one step in a much larger plan," Reardon said, "but the information and physical resources of the station could be useful, if only for a short period of time.

"Is this line of conversation acceptable to you?" he asked.

OOC: Was expecting some feedback from the evil twin...

"Thank you very much... Rufus." William turned away from Rufus to focus onto the group once again. Will that catch him off-guard, that I know his name? Probably not, as he seems a very capable person. What are his powers? William burrowed further into Rufus's mind.

"Guys, I think that Rufus has a good point. Would asking for parts from the garbage guys be considered scavenging, do you think?" I don't really know.

"Definitely."

Professor Rufus Lannergan walked in to hear a few of the students discussing welding a skeleton together, and scavenging for parts. "If you guys need parts, just ask the guys dealing with all the metal waste. Less they have to pack up for planet-side disposal."

Lannergan hefted one of the sheets of metal, noting that it was Titanium. "Oh, and be careful with welding this stuff.

Rufus strolled off to see Whately. "Salve Professor. So tell me, what exactly are you having these poor students build? Or at least, what are you making them attempt to build? It looks interesting."

"Old trick." Whately smiled. "Their teams are building little shuttles for a race-they'll form their own little teams and profit-I've posted two pools-one for whomever finishes first, and one for which team wins the race, if you'd care for a piece of the action. I'm thinking of posting one for who gets caught scavenging, but decided it would compromise my deniability should one actually get caught."

The cadaver's pierced lungs inflated in spite of their obvious medical inability to do so. brown, watery blood bubbled up from the dead man's mouth...

"If you guys want i can make the atoms of the metal bond to eachother," said Josh, who had been in the background listening."As for the impurities, i can make sure that only titanium atoms bond to other titanium atoms."

"Yeah and i can try and make the metal hover," said Goltia, proving her point by making one of her books hover."It would be hard with metal though, its a lot heavier."

OOC: got to love it when your ISP cocks up....

"I would think asking for parts from the junk section would be scavenging," replied Lucus as a thought came to his mind. "We get caught but what if I create a distraction for the professor and you guys can go get the parts," offered Lucus as he wondered if what he was doing was such a great idea.

"Distraction? HA! I'll distract, you go get the stuff," said Josh, before muttering:" Ok, explosion or fire..."

"I was thinking of being sick all over the professor," whispered Lucus into Josh's ear.

"Dude...I was going to set his hair on fire," said Josh, before saying:" Why don't we do both?"

"Wait, that's a bit extreme," replied Lucus as he realised they could get in serious trouble. "We could always start a fight and one of us gets slammed into the professor,"

"Ok then. Coin toss to see who takes the hit," said Josh, pulling out a hexagon shaped coin."Heads or tails?"

"Heads," replied Lucus as he thought that one of them was going to bail out in the last second.

"Fine then," said Josh, flipping the coin and hoping that it landed on heads.

OOC:250 posts already?!O_o

"Woh. OK everyone lets go get whatever we need,"said Josh."wait for Lucus's mark..."

"Woh. OK everyone lets go get whatever we need,"said Josh."wait for Lucus's mark..."
"Um...is this really a good idea?" Mathieu asked, jostling for a better view. No way was he going to miss this!

ooc: OD, are you going to post the corpse's responses, or do me and sudova make stuff up?

"lets see....No it isn't a good idea,"said Josh."thats why its Lucus thats doing it."

"Yeah and stop pushing,"moaned Goltia, who was getting pushed around like a rag doll.

"lets see....No it isn't a good idea,"said Josh."thats why its Lucus thats doing it."

"Yeah and stop pushing,"moaned Goltia, who was getting pushed around like a rag doll.
"Oh, I'm sorry miss," Mathieu said, putting his arms to his side like a chagrined schoolboy.

"Yes, like she's well mannered herself,' said Josh, sarcasm thick in his voice.
'what did you say," said Goltia, walking up and poking Josh in the chest.
"What i meant to say was at times you are a little bitch," replied Josh.
"OHOH! You really want me to start do you? I've got more dirt on you then an entire planet," said Goltia. Since both of them were the same height, then stared each other in the eye, the exact same look on their faces.

Mathieu chuckled as he watched the exchange. He missed sibling rivalry...

What are you laughing at?!' said both of the twins, spinning to face Mathieu, the exact same look of 'i'm really pissed off' on their faces.

What are you laughing at?!' said both of the twins, spinning to face Mathieu, the exact same look of 'i'm really pissed off' on their faces.
His smile vanished as Mathieu held up his hands to calm them down.

"You're always fighting," he said hesitantly, "I forgot what it was like to have siblings," he smiled.

"What? Oh OK then-OWW!!' what Josh was going to say was cut off when Goltia grabbed his arm and pulled him into a arm lock.
"Say sorry Josh," said Goltia, tightening the hold.
"Sorry sorry! Now get off me!'said Josh, in lots of pain. Letting him go, Goltia got off of him and went to stand next to Selphie, flashing Mathieu a smile as she walked past.
"Owww....she is a bitch at times,"said josh, before thinking for a moment and saying:"And i think she likes you. Just giving you a heads up."

"Oh, okay," Mathieu said, not understanding that like meant like. "She's nice...when she's not picking on you," the dense electric-user smiled as he chuckled.

"Yeah i guess...Hey who gave you the ring?" asked Josh, noticing it for the first time.

"Yeah i guess...Hey who gave you the ring?" asked Josh, noticing it for the first time.
"Anna did," Mathieu smiled, offering a better view, "Right before she left...I guess it's like a promise ring or something," he commented. "I gave her my rosary..."

"Woh. You two must really like eachother..."said Josh."Man, am i the only single guy on this station?" As he finished speaking, thje white strecks in his hair turned a rather depressing shade of blue.

"Woh. You two must really like eachother..."said Josh."Man, am i the only single guy on this station?" As he finished speaking, thje white strecks in his hair turned a rather depressing shade of blue.
"Hey...is your hair like a mood ring?" Mathieu asked innocently. "And don't worry, you'll find one soon enough...is that other girl...the one by your sis, single?" he offered a glimmer of hope.

ooc: seriously, idk the current relationships

"Yeah. It's colour does show the colour that best shows my mood. And i think shes single. But is looks like shes like 17, 18? Maybe in a month, when i'm 16,' said Josh, fiddling with his pendent.

"Hey, there's benefits for dating older women," Mathieu chuckled. Just ask Lucus... The thought made him laugh more.

"Yeah, what are some of these benefits you speak of?" asked Josh, wondering what Mathieu found so funny.

"I don't think this is a good idea, guys," William butted in as he tried to get Josh and Mathieu back on topic. "We could maybe get in serious trouble. If you consider this scavenging, of course."

"Old trick." Whately smiled.

"Ah, I see. Tell you what," Lannergan lowered his voice so that nobody would hear his proposal to Whately, "I've got fifty under the table that somebody gets caught, but they do a follow up and notice even more parts that are unaccounted. And those boys that I was talking to will win the race, I've got another fifty on that one. Deal?"

"I don't think this is a good idea, guys," William butted in as he tried to get Josh and Mathieu back on topic. "We could maybe get in serious trouble. If you consider this scavenging, of course."

"Thats if we get caught,"said Josh, looking William over."What are your powers again?"

"What? Oh OK then-OWW!!' what Josh was going to say was cut off when Goltia grabbed his arm and pulled him into a arm lock.

"Owww....she is a bitch at times,"said josh, before thinking for a moment and saying:"And i think she likes you. Just giving you a heads up."

"Oh! Hey goltia," Selphie smiled "um...didn't you have difrent hair color a while ago?" asked Selphie in a kinda inncoent way.

"well, anyways, neverminde. Oh by the way, can i work with you?" Selphie asked this with a big warm smile

"Sure. Don't want to work with my brother right now anyway, though we might end up having to work with them,'said Goltia, smiling. She liked Selphie, even if she was slighty weird. As she pulled out a padpaper from her carry bag, the white strecks in her hair turned a warm shade of orange.

OOC: not all of the twin's hair changes colour, just the strecks in it.

"Sure. Don't want to work with my brother right now anyway, though we might end up having to work with them,'said Goltia, smiling. She liked Selphie, even if she was slight weird. As she pulled out a pad-paper from her carry bag, Goltia's hair turned a warm shade of orange.

"Well, I wouldn't mined, i would like the idea of working with your brother. I don't see why you fight a lot, he seems nice."

Selphie didn't wait for an answer and began to try to draft a plan. Selphie was a talented student, and she loved technical stuff, like computers and airplanes.

"OK then. JOSH! Get over here," said Goltia, watching Selphie draft."And he is nice. He's just...a little rough around the edges. Oh crap, here he comes." Goltia cut herself off as Josh walked up.
"Yeah? You want my help? Sure whatever. BUT you owe me Golts," said Josh, using Goltia's nickname. Looking at Selphie, he said:"whats the plan then?" Making sure that the link was shut, he thought:Damnit Mathieu. Now that i think about it, Selphie is kinda cute, in that innocent way. Damnit damnit damnit
Not that he noticed, the strecks in his hair started flick through colours, before stopping on a really deep shade of red.

Not that he noticed, the streaks in his hair started flick through colors, before stopping on a really deep shade of red.

"Hey Josh, the plan is centered around the cockpit and the engine room. I plan to build out of a strong material, like iron, but something thats not to heavy. I also think that the engine should be a class one engine, mostly because the ship will be really big, and I want it to fly up high, not just a few feet up. and I also plan to upgrade the outer-covering to form more of an aerodynamic thing, to try to reduce heavy use of the engines." Selphie hands the blueprint, which was technically advanced as well as being well designed.

"Oh c'mon guys. It's not like you've never seen someone throw up before." said Ziyo, taking another look at the blueprint. Holy crap, the scale is off on this thing. It should be much longer than it appears.

"Oh ok then," said Josh, looking at the drawing.
so shes cute AND smart thought Josh.
"Not what i wanted to hear Josh,"said Goltia, proving that Josh hadn't closed their link then.

"anyway, josh do you know of any mindereaders?" asked Selphie, due to her recently thinking about her problem.
"oh, and anything you could help me on, like supplies, and stuff, i would really appreciate it."

"Mindreaders? the only one i can thing of is Professor Davis," said Josh, before yelping in pain when Goltia dragged him a few metres away.
"What the hell? What is wrong with you today?" said Josh.
"Those feeling that came down our link, they better be real Josh," said Goltia.
"Of course they are. They are as real as your feelings for Mathieu. Oh by the way, don't bother. He's pretty much married," said Josh. The two didn't realise that their voices carried far enough for Selphie to hear them.

Selphie was far too busy to be outside her main concentration, so she didn't hear a thing.
Selphie kept wondering if her thought were threatened by some outside force. Selphie couldn't keep her mind away from what dangers could happen

"Woh," said Josh.
"What?" replied Goltia, looking around.
"Selphie. her body language. She just tensed up," said Josh, walking up to her and putting a hand on her shoulder."Hey are you OK?"

"um...Yeah." Said Selphie, unsure if what she answered was correct

"I'm not silly, Selphie. I know when someone is lying. Come on, whats wrong," said Josh in a comforting voice.

"well..ok, Ill tell you. The only reason i asked if anyone could read minds was because I have a weird defense system against this. No one can actually read my mind, but when someone does try, my body kinda shuts down from reality. Its kinda hard to explain, but basically, my mind shuts off reality and focuses on my 'minds own world'."
"when this happens, i am able to communicate with whomever is listening to my thoughts, but i cant think, so my outside world self goes berserk, while my real self confronts the 'person'. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, i do. It would be freaking though, trapped in your own head," said Josh, sitting down beside Selphie.

Hey, Josh! William screamed inside his head. Maybe I can communicate with him telepathically... Josh! What about the project, bud! Don't go on being Romeo! He used a voice that he hadn't really before. He was starting to become less passive.

What? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! replied Josh, not taking having someone in his head very well.

What? GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! replied Josh, not taking having someone in his head very well.

Owww! William couldn't help but cover his ears physically and retreat from Josh's mind, but he left one more comment. You're sixteen. He then started to pour over the blueprints in a frenzy, trying to get his mind off of who he just saw as he turned around.

"Bloody mindreaders...." Josh muttered to himself, clicking his fingers. Damnit not again! thought Josh, looking at his feet and seeing his shoe was on fire again. He quickly created a shield around the flames and starved them of oxygen. Looking up, he saw that Goltia was laughing. Muttering to himself, he distracted himself by pulling out a book on physics from his carry bag and opening it, he flicked to a page on aerodynamics. he then grabbed out some paper and a pen and looking at the blueprints, started doing some calculations. After a few minutes he got stuck trying to work out how much energy the engine would need to function.
"Hey Selphie, could you help me,"asked Josh, looking at her.

"That's because she's a teacher," replied Lucus as he was careful of his words. "Now can we forget about the other crap and just do the construction of this device?"

"Ah, I see. Tell you what," Lannergan lowered his voice so that nobody would hear his proposal to Whately, "I've got fifty under the table that somebody gets caught, but they do a follow up and notice even more parts that are unaccounted. And those boys that I was talking to will win the race, I've got another fifty on that one. Deal?"

"Now, Professor Lannergan, you know that gambling is strictly forbidden." Professor Whately smiled. "Which is why we restrict it to the administration office. However, since you are the exception, I'll match both bets-and best of luck to you."

He rose then, "Gentlemen, I believe that is enough for today-please, cover your projects with a tarp and label them before the next class. I'll be arranging for you to access this Bay whenever you wish.

"For tomorrow, I'll want team colors and logos-how you want the school paper to report on your activities, so forth. If there are any questions, please address me on them, but bear in mind I will not be a co-conspirator with any of you."

The corpse spewed it's contents-mostly water and dried blood, some insect larve, before yammering. "The House of Irabek shall fall! Cthulhu ftangn! Kudretli Sihirbaz commands!" before falling over.

"Sounds simple," smiled Lucus. "We can put a hunting trap on and if anyone touches its SNAP! It'll take off their hands in one foul swoop," joked Lucus as he was thankful that the lesson was over.

"For tomorrow, I'll want team colors and logos-how you want the school paper to report on your activities, so forth. If there are any questions, please address me on them, but bear in mind I will not be a co-conspirator with any of you."

The corpse spewed it's contents-mostly water and dried blood, some insect larve, before yammering. "The House of Irabek shall shall! Cthulhu ftangn! Kudretli Sihirbaz commands!" before falling over.

ooc: i'll assume that's Delphina's corpse talking...also, do you mean, "...shall fall."?

ic:

Delphina took her hand from the corpse's brow, frowning at what she'd just heard. From her alb, she pulled out a small digital recorder. She rewound and pressed 'play.' Delphina turned to Anna, "Does this sound like a language you know?" she inquired.

"Sounds simple," smiled Lucus. "We can put a hunting trap on and if anyone touches its SNAP! It'll take off their hands in one foul swoop," joked Lucus as he was thankful that the lesson was over.

Mathieu helped with the tarp.

"Labeling..." he thought out loud, "Hey, I bet I can write our names on the tarp with my energy," he offered.

"Josh, come on. Lets go," said Goltia, tapping her foot.
"Hold on,"said Josh, before packing everything that was his into his carry bag. Looking at William, he thought for a moment, then walked up to William and said:"Sorry about before. I wasn't protecting myself from you, i was protect you from my memories. Some of them.... lets just say you don't want to see them." Walking back to his sister, he said:"Whats next?"

OOC: Maybe this should be the last class of the day

"Josh, come on. Lets go," said Goltia, tapping her foot.

"Hey, you two," Mathieu waved to the twins, "See ya later," he waved as he headed towards Lucus. "S'up?"

"Now, Professor Lannergan, you know that gambling is strictly forbidden." Professor Whately smiled. "Which is why we restrict it to the administration office. However, since you are the exception, I'll match both bets-and best of luck to you."

Lannergan smiled in acknowledgment of the bet. He watched as the students pulled tarps over their separate work areas, noting the rough division of teams.

"You know," he said, once he and Whately were alone, "This gives me an idea. I'm going to have them acquire parts for your class, passing them if they're particularly convincing with the maintenance guys. It's not against the rules, at least not explicitly stated. I'd offer a third bet on who does well in my class, but that might be generating the most conflict in interests."

"yeah see ya," said Josh, waving back.
"BYE!" said Goltia, also waving. Turning to Josh, she said:"What would i have to do to get him to date me?"
"Who, Mathieu? You won't. He's going out with a chick that can't die,' said Josh matter-of-factly.
"Oh. ok then," said goltia."What about you then. What are you going to do about Selphie?"
"I...umm..I dunno. I want to ask her out but..." Josh voice trailed off.
"But your scare she will reject you?"asked Goltia.
"Yeah. Can you talk to her please?" said Josh.
"OK i will," said Goltia, before walking up to Selphie and saying:"hey Selphie. Umm...can we talk about something?"

"yeah see ya," said Josh, waving back.
"BYE!" said Goltia, also waving. Turning to Josh, she said:"What would i have to do to get him to date me?"
"Who, Mathieu? You won't. He's going out with a chick that can't die,' said Josh matter-of-factly.

"Yeah. Can you talk to her please?" said Josh.
"OK i will," said Goltia, before walking up to Selphie and saying:"hey Selphie. Umm...can we talk about something?"
ooc: that's not gonna stop her, is it?

ic:

As Mathieu talked with Lucus, he sneezed, a blue spark falling from his nose.

"Hrm, that hasn't happened in a while," he chuckled, "Guess someone's talking about me," he commented, thinking it was Anna.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The corpse spewed it's contents-mostly water and dried blood, some insect larve, before yammering. "The House of Irabek shall fall! Cthulhu ftangn! Kudretli Sihirbaz commands!" before falling over.


Anna's head felt fit to burst, her heart began to slow.

When Delphina took her hand from the corpse's brow, frowning at what she'd just heard. From her alb, she pulled out a small digital recorder. She rewound and pressed 'play.' Delphina turned to Anna, "Does this sound like a language you know?" she inquired.

Anna looked at the Professor, ""Ph'nglui mglw' nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn," she said, But it wasn't the girlish voice of Anna speaking, it was something else-Anna, but...More Anna than she'd been. "In his house at R' lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. ... That is not dead which can eternal lie, come the strange eon, even death may die." It was Anna's voice again, "HP Lovecraft, who wrote stories of fantasy and science fiction in the nineteen twenties. We often wondered if he had a connection to a source of information about the Elder Gods, the ones who may have first combined the Void and the Fire to create Ymir."

"Josh, come on. Lets go," said Goltia, tapping her foot.
"Hold on,"said Josh, before packing everything that was his into his carry bag. Looking at William, he thought for a moment, then walked up to William and said:"Sorry about before. I wasn't protecting myself from you, i was protect you from my memories. Some of them.... lets just say you don't want to see them." Walking back to his sister, he said:"Whats next?"

OOC: Maybe this should be the last class of the day

And I didn't have a chance to say sorry! William thought as he went away. I won't invade his mind again... and he's probably right. He reflected on his rather easy life so far. Just a normal middle-class kid. Some of these guys have probably survived on the streets....

He shook himself out of his thinking pose and moved to gather up his things, except there were none. I'll have to get myself some books, William reminded himself, as well as try to figure out what that man is! A ripple in space... physics was never my strong point.

"So, what class do we have next?" William declared to no one in particular, but he couldn't help but look in that one person's direction... Stop thinking about her! C'mon, you've got to harness your powers you know!

OOC: Jumping on the love bandwagon. Even though he's 13.

Anna felt her heart slow further, "Professor, I'm going to try again." she said, "I'm going to force him to tell us what happened."

"yeah see ya," said Josh, waving back.
"BYE!" said Goltia, also waving. Turning to Josh, she said:"What would i have to do to get him to date me?"
"Who, Mathieu? You won't. He's going out with a chick that can't die,' said Josh matter-of-factly.
"Oh. OK then," said Goltia."What about you then. What are you going to do about Selphie?"
"I...umm..I dunno. I want to ask her out but..." Josh voice trailed off.
"But your scare she will reject you?"asked Goltia.
"Yeah. Can you talk to her please?" said Josh.
"OK i will," said Goltia, before walking up to Selphie and saying:"hey Selphie. Umm...can we talk about something?"



"Oh, yeah.. What is is Goltia?" Asked the surprisingly dizzy Selphie

Gods forgive me thought Goltia, before saying:"Well....My brother likes you. It doesn't take a mental link to work that out. And he's...well, he's too afraid to do anything about it cause he's scared you'll reject him," finished Goltia, shaking her head as if to clear it.

"Oh.............Well, i dont know what to say...........I think im not ready to go into any relationship, seeing that he is too young for me.. but i cant tell him that, i dont want to crush his feeling. Goltia, what do you think I should do?" asked the suddenly scared Selphie

Anna felt her heart slow further, "Professor, I'm going to try again." she said, "I'm going to force him to tell us what happened."
Delphina put a supportive hand on Anna's shoulder.

"Be careful, Miss McCall," she warned, meaning it, but keeping her voice formal in case the monk was nearby.

"Oh.............Well, i dont know what to say...........I think im not ready to go into any relationship, seeing that he is too young for me.. but i cant tell him that, i dont want to crush his feeling. Goltia, what do you think I should do?" asked the suddenly scared Selphie

"We are older then we look you know.We are almost 16. And its not me you should be talking to. I'm not good with relationships. Go, talk to him,"said Goltia in a comforting voice.

"We are older then we look you know.We are almost 16. And its not me you should be talking to. I'm not good with relationships. Go, talk to him,"said Goltia in a comforting voice.


"..........Well, I'll deal with this later." Said Selphie in an almost mad voice. Selphie has a do it now personality, and usually never backs down. but today she saw an exception.

"..........Well, I'll deal with this later." Said Selphie in an almost mad voice. Selphie has a do it now personality, and usually never backs down. but today she saw an exception.

"Oh, ok then," said Goltia, slightly scared by Selphie's voice. She didn't say anything but her body language became tense, ready to run.

"I could maybe try to get the logos and things." William simply stated. "I like design and that type of thing, and I'm getting into computer graphics more and more."


"You do that. I'm an engineer, almost at least, not someone for advertising." said Ziyo

"Hey, you two," Mathieu waved to the twins, "See ya later," he waved as he headed towards Lucus. "S'up?"

"Nothing much," replied Lucus as the pair started to walk out of the classroom while Mathieu was wondering if someone was talking about him and then sneezed a blue electricy thing. "It came from the twins," pointed out Lucus. "Maybe the girl is trying to figure out if your single or not," whispered Lucus in a joking sense. "Talking about girls, how did you and Anna get along?"

Kagetora;14425331']"You do that. I'm an engineer, almost at least, not someone for advertising." said Ziyo

"It's settled. I'll try to get my hands on a computer-like device or whatever is similar at this school, and see what I can do." William stated firmly. Oh great. Josh? he mentally called out but not too firm as to startle him.

Josh slamed shut the walls around his mind before he reliased that it was william. Opening out enough to be able talk to him, but still shield him from the memories, replied:yeah what is it?

Josh slamed shut the walls around his mind before he reliased that it was william. Opening out enough to be able talk to him, but still shield him from the memories, replied:yeah what is it?

Resisting the urge to run his hand through his hair, he settled with a small sigh. I'm not talking to him physically, so I can't do that type of thing. He took a long pause to respond to Josh. Oh jeez... how do I put this... you're sixteen and I'm thirteen almost fourteen... He sighed again, quieter this time. Your sister... does she like me at all? WIlliam breathed out, and then thought to himself privately. Wow. That was pitiful. Nice going. Not.

Hehe. Try your luck. See what happens replied Josh, before going:Be careful OK? Murder is something i don't want to cover up.

Hehe. Try your luck. See what happens replied Josh, before going:Be careful OK? Murder is something i don't want to cover up.

I assume you're not serious, William said seriously. I can't tell with you hiding all of your memories. I can tell that at least. So... what do you think I should do to get her attention?

Talk to her. Be nice and honest. Thats all i can say, said Josh. Good luck man.

Talk to her. Be nice and honest. Thats all i can say, said Josh. Good luck man.

Thanks. That's really nice. William did actually run his hand through his hair and then broke off the connection. Now how the heck do I do this... He stood up and started walking toward the group with the girls and Josh, thinking to himself all the while.

"hey Goltia, i'm going back to my dorm," said Josh, beofre waving at Selphie and saying:"See ya." He then walked out, giving thumbs up to William and mouthing:Good luck!

"Nothing much," replied Lucus as the pair started to walk out of the classroom while Mathieu was wondering if someone was talking about him and then sneezed a blue electricy thing. "It came from the twins," pointed out Lucus. "Maybe the girl is trying to figure out if your single or not," whispered Lucus in a joking sense. "Talking about girls, how did you and Anna get along?"
Mathieu flashed the ring, "How's this?" he beamed. His expression changed to one of sly mischeviousness "How 'bout you and Delphina?" he winked.

Feeling really left out, being the only one left not in a relationship, Ziyo just said to no one in particular
"Cya all later."
Before converting into electricity and leaving

"HEY Guys! Wait up,"said Josh to Mathieu and Lucus, not wanting to be alone and needing someone to talk to that wasn't his blood relative.

"HEY Guys! Wait up,"said Josh, not wanting to be alone and needing someone to talk to that wasn't his blood relative.

OOC: Who's this at?

OOC: at FUS and co

Mathieu flashed the ring, "How's this?" he beamed. His expression changed to one of sly mischeviousness "How 'bout you and Delphina?" he winked.

"Very nice," smiled Lucus as he walked with Mathieu for awhile as he felt he wanted to smash Mathieu head into the wall after the next question. "It was going fine until class started and she parted ways," replied Lucus in a low voice as he heard Josh's footsteps coming towards them. "Let's keep that sort of thing out of conversations," stated Lucus as he knew Mathieu wouldn't gossip about it. "Here come's Josh," smiled Lucus. "Hello Josh,"

"HEY Guys! Wait up,"said Josh to Mathieu and Lucus, not wanting to be alone and needing someone to talk to that wasn't his blood relative.
"Aww, Ziyo left..." Mathieu said. "We're the closest, I think...both being electric and all," he mentioned to Lucus. He turned to Josh, "Well c'mon then," he joked.

"Hey guys. And whats the difference between electricity and energy?" said Josh."Anyway, look....I need some advice."

"Why do I have a feeling its going to be girl trouble?" Lucus asked as he had a feeling this time it would be girl trouble.

"How did you know?"asked Josh."you're not a mindreader are you?"

OOC: Josh dosn't know Lucus's powers or that he's a vampire

"Hey guys. And whats the difference between electricity and energy?" said Josh."Anyway, look....I need some advice."
"Well, you see..." Mathieu started, before chuckling and giving Josh a friendly shove. "What's up?"

"Its called observation," replied Lucus. "It's also studing your surroundings. I don't mind read but the other way is using poker tactic called a bluff which is useful," finished Lucus.

"Well, you see..." Mathieu started, before chuckling and giving Josh a friendly shove. "What's up?"

'Umm....I need some help. i want to ask Selphie out but...I don't know what to do?" said Josh, shaking his head in frustration.

"That is so bloody easy," replied Lucus. "You get friendly with them, get into a conversation and then ask them out. Also, girls are just like us. It's not like they're another species from another world...or are they?" joked Lucus as he was trying to make Josh feel relaxed.

"Ha. Thanks. It's just...I'm nearly 16, but i've only been in 1 real relationship. And that didn't end well...." Josh's voice trailed off."Mathieu, you can kill by kissing and you most likely have more experience then i do when it comes to girls."

"Why do people put down the obvious?" wondered Lucus.

"Ha. Thanks. It's just...I'm nearly 16, but i've only been in 1 real relationship. And that didn't end well...." Josh's voice trailed off."Mathieu, you can kill by kissing and you most likely have more experience then i do when it comes to girls."
MAthieu slumped forcefully. "Gee, you really pull your punches," he joked sarcastically. "Actually...Anna sorta, came onto me..." he scratched his head, "And that other girl, the one I fried way back...she was my friend."

"Yep, Anna came onto Mathieu like a hurricane," joked Lucus. "The only response? Mathieu gave her a shock that killed her," laughed Lucus.

"Oh. Ouch. Sorry. Here, have a drink,"said Josh, pulling out a bottle."Its something i made one day. It tastes like orange but really spicy. i like it but i'm not sure if others do."

"Yep, Anna came onto Mathieu like a hurricane," joked Lucus. "The only response? Didn't you fry her?"

"Oh i know that. i saw the aftermarth,"said Josh.

"Na, I perfer simple water," replied Lucus as he took a gulp from his flask. "Anyhow, why are we talking about girls?"

"Because i want to ask out someone whos about 2 years older then me,"said Josh matter-of-factly.

"Then what's the problem?" asked Lucus. "If it makes you feel better, I've met someone whose married to someone whose about half his age," stated Lucus. "There's nothing wrong with dating someone older than you as long you respect them,"

"Ok thanks, man,"said Josh, clapping Lucus on the shoulder."Say, i never asked before: What are your powers?"

"I can control the darkness and I can control sand," smiled Lucus as he attempted to pull the sand out of his jar. Lucus was about to say something when the sand didn't move an inch and his scars on his hands started to spread across his arms. "Ok, maybe not sand. What about you?" asked Lucus as an ensigma started to cover his hands and arms.

"i can control the raw atomic energies. Light, heat, radiation. The whole nine yards," said Josh, demonstrating by manipulating the light so it said 'Mathieu 4 Anna'.

"Awesome," replied Lucus as his skin started to ich. He tried to ignore it but he had to put down the ich only to realise his skin was slowly peeling off. "Bloody hell! Something must...d*mnit," muttered Lucus. "Does anybody know's where we can go to a private place?" Lucus asked.

"Dude. i think a bit of a problem,"said Josh, kinda freaked out."whats happening?"

Delphina put a supportive hand on Anna's shoulder.

"Be careful, Miss McCall," she warned, meaning it, but keeping her voice formal in case the monk was nearby.

Anna's skin became cold, her breath frosted in the air, "I Command You, Speak to me Plainly The Truth and Tell me who killed you."

The rumbling 'undercurrent' of Anna's thoughts in this place vanished, and that second voice-the voice that was so much More than Anna McCall's quiet little inner thinking voice said it too... it was as if Anna spoke with the voice of a God.

"I command you, Peel away the refuge of Madness and give me the Truth." it was an imperative, it could not, would not, must not, be denied.

The rosary beads cracked and blackened. The corpse sat bolt-upright, and turned to look at the girl, then averted his dead eyes, as if he were a living man looking upon his Ruler, an unwary husband facing his wife's wrath, or a child stripped of excuses before their mother.

OOC: happy 100 pages everyone!

"It's called skinning of the old skin," answered Lucus as they went down into an empty room. "In Lynion, we got these things in our bodies called spirits and between the ages of 16 and 17 we absorb the spirits into our own. After that, there's a 50 50 chance that we'll...well...some of us turn into vampires and the other half turn into werewolves," explained Lucus as his skin was malting. "Because I was born into a werewolf family, I'm going to turn into a werewolf. Whatever you do, don't intervine with the process,"

"Ok," said Josh, subconsciously increasing the power of the shield that he always had around him.

Anna's skin became cold, her breath frosted in the air, "I Command You, Speak to me Plainly The Truth and Tell me who killed you."

The rumbling 'undercurrent' of Anna's thoughts in this place vanished, and that second voice-the voice that was so much More than Anna McCall's quiet little inner thinking voice said it too... it was as if Anna spoke with the voice of a God.

ooc: huzzah!!

ic:

Mathieu

"Whoa..." he blurted out, forgetting the teasting a minute ago. "Um, here," he pushed Lucus into their dorm room. "W-what's going on?"

Delphina

Delphina stood to the side, monitoring the girl's necromancy. When the corpse bolted upright, she raised an eyebrow, but stayed quiet.

"I'm having a transformation," replied Lucus as he closed the door behind the group of three. "This is why I don't do it near people I care," added Lucus as he removed his shirt and jacket to expose his skin turning blood red. His eyes lit up as six green spots appeared across his back. "This is becoming...becoming...painful," muttered Lucus as he finally put down all his resistance and allowed himself become consumed. "I guess its perfectly timed eh Mathieu?" smiled Lucus as he threw his jar of sand aside and turned into this werewolf. His eyes had changed to a Hellish Red colour, his teeth had grown and he looked around for a moment. "Boo!" smiled Lucus as he tried to control himself.


OOC: Its a natural thing for a Lynion to do. Also, he lost his sand ability and he gain's a werewolf ability to replace the sand ability he lost. If you want to know what he looks like, he looks like the werewolf from Doctor Who.
