[WunderKatze]

Raioyris sits in a nearby copse. He begins to relax. Let me see if I can feel these Kahigan.

As he grows confident he begins to mutter the elemental prefix 'Vi' as he reaches out to the life around him.

I'll just try not to imagine the possible collateral.

[_DivideByZero_]

In the Grand Lodge:
People Present:
-The Quartermaster
-Various students

-Thalstav Ridders
-Demivh Kestral
-Murble Moobroot (Room ?)
-Dan Adarna (Room ?)
-Nix
-Christine Denare

Sign up Dan Adarna and Murble Moobroot as official roommates, then inquire what the next step is.

"Ah, good," says the quartermaster as she jots down your names on a scroll. A fancy one too, make from leather rather than Icecone bark.
"We've a room here on the ground floor, two rooms on the second floor with balconies, and most of the windowless rooms on the top floor. One has a window. Feel free to look around a choose; they're all the same besides windows and layout but you'll be sticking with your choice for a while." she gives you the typical old woman smile, but it comes out as... well-practiced.
"Afterward, I would recommend heading out to meet your professors and arrange your classes. After that you're free to do what you like. Got all that?"

The stairs to the second floor are right up ahead, starting as a single set of wide stairs which split off into horizontal sets that go the rest of the way up. The rooms themselves are spacious, even by noble standards. The queen-sized beds are heavily reinforced and they both have multicolored linens (blue, yellow, red) and three pillows each. One of the three pillows is soft, almost gelatinous to the touch.

...

Outside the Grand Lodge:
People Present:
-Raioyris

-Some graduates carrying a wooden statue
-A young boy in a robe without the Folstag insignia, coming out of the marble gardens.


Outside the lodge, there are signs giving directions:
-> School of the Natural Elements
-> School of Energy
-> School of Thoughtform
-> Upper Plaza
-> Marble Gardens, Gate

Raioyris sits in a nearby copse. He begins to relax. Let me see if I can feel these Kahigan.

As he grows confident he begins to mutter the elemental prefix 'Vi' as he reaches out to the life around him.

I'll just try not to imagine the possible collateral.

[-] Imagining a arm reaching out toward a nearby shrub at arm's length, you start to get a tingling feeling... not like touch, but rather much like that of moving a limb. You simply feel its presence, and feel that it's doing something. The shrub before you shakes slowly, and as you further test for a response, the shrub responds with the frequency of your impetus. You did it.

Nestled in the spaces between trees are lavender flowers, bearing an odd scent. Not all of them, however; it seems to be one specific patch.

You hear a heavy stomping from the direction of the marble garden, but don't have a clear line of sight as to the source.


At the Sunray Mirror:

People Present:
-The club representatives
-Kyron Theremis

"Bother.  Indeed, that would make sense, wouldn't it."

Well then.  Kyron wanders off, taking note of the meeting time.

You jot the meeting time down in your head (or perhaps with a loose scrap and a quill, if you keep one around) and wander off. It seems that your uniform is waiting for you past the gardens to the west, but it's possible that it's crowded what with the opening of the gates. Up ahead, the two great halls seem to be interesting, and the boats are open for service if you want to head off somewhere like one of the department buildings.

"We've a room here on the ground floor, two rooms on the second floor with balconies, and most of the windowless rooms on the top floor. One has a window.

"Afterward, I would recommend heading out to meet your professors and arrange your classes. After that you're free to do what you like. Got all that?"

"Yes, thank you!"

Murble turns excitedly to Dan. "Height means importance, clearly, so we'll want the second floor or higher. I suspect we'll prefer a balcony to another floor, but let's take a look first."

Compare the second floor balconies to the room with a window on the top floor.

[_DivideByZero_]

Compare the second floor balconies to the room with a window on the top floor.

You check one of the rooms on the second floor and decide to get a look at the balcony. As you swing the doors open, you are greeted with a surprised look from a human on the other end--a girl in a black-and-blue robe with Folstag crests on the shoulder-cape's buttons: a crow carrying a thunderbolt in one claw, and a flaming arrow in the other. She is clearly noble blood, probably quite insulated from the fabrics of society, and clearly the sight of a snakewoman thrusting aside the doors did not impress her.

"Sorry... Do you need the room?" You notice something odd about her eyes. They seem normal upon closer inspection... but something seems off about them. Then you realize that her pupils are abnormally large, as if adjusted for the night.

[WunderKatze]

Ignoring the stomping Raioyris relaxes again. This time he reaches into the earth pronouncing the earth prefix.

"Au"

He attempts to raise the earth and give it as much form as he can manage.

[TheBiggerFish]

Yes, yes he does carry quills, inks and maybe even a small book of blank paper.

He already has his uniform, it's been developed and honed over the years through use and he's wearing the template.  Though, rooming is important...He heads to wherever he should do that.

[NRDL]

"Oh, I see now how this works.  This one is Nix, a hopeful student of water and fire.  Balance is my aim, and I will not rest until my goal bears fruit."

Ask about the locations of the professors for Fire and Water.

[-] Plunging the invisible hand into the ground, you spread its fingers out and imagine a gentle tug. You smell smoke, and notice that you've set a patch of ground on fire to your left. You also feel faint, perhaps from the smoke, but at the same time nature feels... lucid. It's rather overwhelming, the awareness of every insect burrowed under the snow, every root, every blade of grass entrapped in ice... it feels... cold. Everything... is... cold...

You head to the lodge.

Ahhh, there's the collateral. Ouchhhh...

Raioyris crawls back into the library. Instead of asking for help he limps across the library looking for books on either, creating forms using shadow magic, shaping and controlling earth, imbuing/transplanting life into lifeless forms, or information about the three different Kahigan processed by a human.

Curse this unwieldy carnal vestige.

[-] You crawl your way through the garden, drawing crazed looks from onlookers. Spectate as they might, however, nobody seems to come to your aid, to perhaps console you in your final hours, or maybe to give you a blanket. Oddly, you notice the garden is much more vivid than before, filled with evanescent green wisps hanging from pillars, sprouts in the shape of a Vi () bursting from the snow, snakelike creatures as light as air, floating freely through the snowy mist... You also spot a few strange demihumans along the way as you crawl along the side of the road. They have tail-like appendages sprouting from their back, through their uniforms oddly enough...

Finally, you reach the gates, exhausted and shivering, and crawl up the steps to the doorway... You reach out a hand to turn the handle... but your hand, it seems, did not accompany you along the way.

"Yes, balcony is good I think. Having a good view outside is nice."

...

"Just checking out the rooms." Dan says from behind Murble. "Don't mind us."

"Oh, okay. Do you know what time it is? I... can't see the sun."

She looks rather tired.

[WunderKatze]

Alarming. Raioyris sputters and coughs, he seems on the verge of panic.

No. NO!

Looking around Raioyris begins to recover his poise. Time to sharpen our purpose. Yes! We'll drag this sagging flesh with us. This febrile vessel will be made to do our work!

Raioyris feels an immense power of will building, not that it will impact his physical fortunes. Ahh! These must be my Kahigan! Perhaps not though...

Raioyris calms down. I have an idea. Raioyris recollects the state that he was in earlier (when he had more flesh), muttering the life and earth elemental prefix 'Vi' and 'Au' reenters meditation. Perhaps I can form new limbs.

...Of course that's wishful thinking...

So much to learn, so much to do!

[HighEndNoob]

This silence... is deafening. And awkward. Lets change that.

"So, Thalstav! You're a member of House Ridders, right? If I recall, it not a big House, but still one worthy of respect. What made you seek magic as a way of carving a name for yourself?"

[AoshimaMichio]

"It isn't night, dawn or dusk, of that I'm certain. You fear you are late?"

Is her room any different from previously observed?
