Beyond Reason

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sat on a rock. untieing her kimono, her body was bare, the bandages from her wounds had come off, since her wounds were now healed, scarred mind you, but healed. she jumped into the hot water, and began to purr happily, her ears flopped down t othe side of her head and a large smile came to her closed lips. her silver hair floating around heronce it touched the waters surface. she purred happily, sinking into the water so her nose was just abouve the water so she could breath.

[Triad ] A massive silvery airship appears far overhead among the clouds, its shadow looming down on the hot springs far below. It seems to be watching, for the moment. Waiting.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she hadn't noticed the big air ship. she was happy and warm. thats al lthat mattered, for now. she climbed offthe rock and jumped back into the water happily, though it grew rather boring with no one to share it with. she finnaly relaxed back into the water, resting herh ead on a rock " oh i wish i could show uncle jesty this. he would love it so much" she nodded softly " i know he is out there some where, .. i know he isn't dead, no matte rwhat anyone says"

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [ well lets say its a hotspring on redfang island. i just dont' qwant redfang in the room name because i hate crowds]

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [... dont' contradict me . just say it's there . nothing has to be logiccaly correct]

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [ no sheis travelling to get somewhere, saw the steam i nthe distance, desided to check it out, and found a hotsp[ring so thought it would be a good time to relax and get a abth]

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [ but i hate the pub. i hate anythig nthata building. so rally the only other place i like is the forest. and redfang is jkust so busy i hate it there,]

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] [ finde. triad where do yo uwanan go?, and if it's redfang. i'll go, but i dont' want to omany people there . causethe yalwasy wanna rp with you and i get pushed out of the way

[Triad ] The large airship which has been hovering up in the clouds for so long now begins to descend slowly, coming further and further into view, its powerful wind turbines churning and creating powerful downdrafts that sweep low over the ground ...

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she looks up at the lowering airship, water spraying everywhere. she didn't move, just stayed stil anbd silent, watchign this strange thing. " i've seen that before" she said in a rather quiet, timid voice. she just watched large thing. her upper body exposed to the air because of the fact water was being sprayed everywhich way, which manipulated the water line.

[Triad ] ... the airship casts a shadow over most of the hot springs below, including the one that Kodora is currently in, blocking the sun's warm rays from view. After reaching a decent hovering altitude of 200 feet, the wind turbines switch into hover mode, hushing slightly. On the ground near Kodora, colored patterns begin to trace through the air, eventually focussing and materializing into the form of a young boy with white hair, dressed all in dark greys, hands tucked behind his back as he looks down at Kodora. "Hello," he greets her in his young voice, blinking once for effect.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora dshe turned around to see the boy standing behind her. she stayed silent ,quirking a brow " hmph" she said coldly, sitting back down into the water, her back to him. she wasnt't goof wih making new friends. and thats how she wanted it to be. she figiured if someone could put up with the crap she delt out, maybe it would be worht a shot to get ot knwo them

[Triad ] The boy blinks, tilting his head slightly at Kodora, seemingly unphased by her indignance. "I remember you," he states plainly. "You were looking for Flash the other day. You asked me where he was, and I told you he was currently on the north side of Redfang Island." He stands there silently, as if awaiting some kind of reply from Kodora.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " feh". her back still turned ot himshe sinked back down into the water, closing her eyes. " so what?" she retorted. i mean she really couldn't say anything back to him.

[Triad ] The boy's brow furrows, yet still he stands there with his arms tucked behind his back. "Soo ... nothing really, I suppose. I was merely stating a fact in attempt to make conversation. Lydia says it's polite to make conversation with strangers if you'd like to get to know them." At this, Triad simply shrugs, walking casually around to one side of the hot springs, looking down into the bubbling water for a moment. "Interesting," he says, grinning as he peers down into the pool.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she glared up at him " why the hell would you want to know me. no one else does" she hissed at him. ashe knew it was a lie, i mean Blue, Flash and jesty all wanted to knwo her, but she had to keep a distance, emotionaly and mentally, possibly physicall from him. " it's water " she said flatly.

Triad shakes his head adamantly. "Actually, there's more to it than just water," he begins. "Geothermal processes far beneath the earth's crust seem to be releasing hot gases through various cracks in the earth. When these hot gases reach this spring, they release their heat into the water, though the heat is not so intense as to cause any damage to bare skin. Or furred skin, for that matter,.

[Triad ] "... for that matter," he adds with a grin. "Upon first sight, I had assumed this water to be naturally boiling ... but I can see now that isn't the case at all. Very fascinating." The boy continues to stare into the water, studying the various reactions.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora one brow was quireked. she had no idea what he said.considering in her time, about 1500's , this type of knowledge would only be well known amoung philosophers, nobility, and scientists. there for, since she didnt' even know how to read, she really didn't understand the words he said " liek i care" was all she could come up with. she dunked under the water for a moment ad came back up,water flowing down her upper body. " well, dont' jsut stand there looking stupid" she said " you goign to come in or not?" was that in invitation? maybe.

Triad tilts his head curiously at the cat-girl's offer, pondering. He considers going into great depth about his uncertainty of how his holo-matrix would react with such a different environment ... but judging by Kodora's reaction to his earlier fascination, he decides against such complexities, taking a simpler approach instead. "I am not sure if that is a good idea or not," he says, brows knit calmly. "Would it be considered rude if I simply stayed here instead?"

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " i really couldn't care." but she was a bit dissapointed " your... not from around here are you?" she looked at him. she decded to join him instead. she climbed out of the water and put on her white kimono. " umm yeah., you don't look like everyone else i know"

Triad begins to explain where he comes from, opening his mouth to speak, but is quickly silenced as he remembers Lydia telling him to keep his origins a secret to anyone that doesn't already know. "No, I am not from around here," he says instead, his attention now turned to Kodora's garments and appearance. "And you do not look much like the others that I have seen as well. Your body seems primarily humanoid, but with various feline features such as your ears and claws. And you also have a distinct demonic aura about you, though it is not so strong as I have sensed in others." Perhaps the boy feels that now is the right time to offer Kodora his name, as he does so with a cheerful smile. "I am Triad."

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] "yeah niether am i" she listened to what he had to say abotu her, how that she was humanoid, yet demonic, about her felionish features and so on " i'm a half-breed" she said flatly.

Triad nods, having already assumed as much. Apparently, it doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest. "I don't suppose there's anything that you can tell me about these hot springs?" he asks curiously. "I was taken here specifically so I could study them and gather as much information about them as possible."

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " it's water" she said flatly she relaly didn't care what it was, all she knew is it relaxed her demonic blood and soothed her aching muscles and joints. "there was a hotspring like this back in the village. i would sneak into it after dark to numbthe pain of what ever beatings i had gotten from the day before, but the next day i would get whipped for going int o the water and making it " dirty" as they all say to me" she gave a heavy sigh, sounding pained by her past , a few tears rolling down her cheeks.

Triad at last seems to show some emotion on his face as he listens to Kodora, his face becoming very sad. He keeps his thoughts silent, however, as he still isn't sure what to make of such a story. "I am sorry," he apologizes. Then, as an afterthought, he gazes back into the water, staring at it with intensity equal to that of before. After a moment or two, he smiles. "If it makes you feel any better, my sensors do not detect any contamination as a result of your presence in the spring. There are contaminants present ... but most of them can be easily ruled out as a side effect of the volcanic gases that are present. Clearly, the villagers you mention were mistaken in their assumptions." Triad looks happily to Kodora now, hoping that his wisdom helps her to feel better, at least in part.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora se shook her head " not that kind of con tam... waht ever it is.. it's a degreading statment, they mean because o my demonic blood that i'm tained, and should have never been born, but since i am i have to be punished, and the demosns say the same thign to me, only that this time it's that i'm tainted with human blood" she looked down at her lap " i miss jesty alot" she said softly. " but no one loved him but me, no one ever tried though either"

Triad tries his best to follow everything. He nods to Kodora. "That is what I meant," he tells her. "I scanned the water for extraneous holy and unholy presences, and found none." A curious thought crosses the boy's mind, making him grin once more. "Strange that humans should worry so much about such 'contamination' in their water, when in truth any living creature's presence would befoul the water simply by its own biological nature, demon or otherwise." Traid shakes his head disappointedly. "As intelligent as humans seem to think they are, they always manage to miss certain things. Why is that?" He dismisses these thoughts casually, turning his attention back to Kodora. "Who is this ... jes-ty? A friend of yours?"

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed : " i.. don't want to tlak about it. no one ever liked him but me" she said sidly " i miss him. and it hurts to knwo tht my friend flash killed him,, bu ti knew they were enemies. but i trie dto have them stop fighitng.. but...flash killing jesty, it.. just hurts more, akes me not want to be around flash , but.. it hurts.. " she sighed " and whenever i try to talk to dflfash, he is always busy.." she shook ehr head : " jesty always had time for me.."

Triad blinks, unsure what to make of all of this. "I thought you said you didn't want to talk about it," he states, plainly confused.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] " be lucky i am talking about it then" she sadi coldly. i miss jester so much.. i know no one els elikled him, but.. i lovedhim" she sighed . " he made me laugh. no one else was able to do that."

PhorenNarqu sat upon the mountain, shivering, pale, and with wide eyes. He had nowhere to go, nowhere to stay. No one to talk to. All because he tried to do what was best for a little girl. So here he sat, shivering, until, after hours of silence, he let out a scream, of pain, and abandonement.

Little_Half~Breed_Kodora she sighed and stood up " look. i have to go" she said softly and began to walk off.

[Little_Half~Breed_Kodora ] hey phoren, hold on i am getting on nadya. sorry triad. ut right now phoren needs help]

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she had been following Phoren for some time. finnaly she he came to a stop, sitting apon a mountain. She watched him from a distance, though her glowing was rather birght, like the moon " phoren?" she sdi softly, her voice trembling softly " are you ok?"

Triad now looks very somber suddenly, at last recognizing who it is that Kodora is talking about. "The entity you are speaking of planted a virus in one of my computer mainframes. He attempted to erase Flash's mind, on two separate occasions. He also used some kind of possession to force the my maintainance drones to attack Devaine and Glyniss, causing heavy damage to my infrastructure and destroying 224577600f my existing Gremlins ..." Triad is interrupted by Kodora's sudden departure, abrubtly ceasing his speech. It is quite clear, in any case, that Triad is not fond of this 'Jesty' person.

[PhorenNarqu ] "I'm not dead.. No, I'm not dead... I feel it, but I'm not!" It looks like all the pressure has finally gotten to him, and caused his fragile grip on sanity to just... Slip.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] [ i know i can use the alias thing HEH i can still rp as kodora LOL[

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she walked to him, gently sitting at his side, putting her head in his lap " phoren,, my friend.. don't cry.. " she sai saoftly, a few tears rolling down her cheeks " plese don't cry"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Did you know that an orc has red blood? Did you? But they have blue organs! Well, some of them are blue!"

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA: she looked angrilly at the boy and stood up " i don't care if you hate him or not. NO ONE ever tried ot help him, NO ONE ever loved him. I did! " she looked away , her heart aching at the things Triad said about him, even though she knew it was true. " did you ever take the time to get ot know him? did you ever try to help him? NO i am pretty sure you didn't. i did though and i found a friend. " she said angrilly, her voice choking up with pain and sorrow" DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT JESTY LIEK THAT!!" she yelled at him.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] she nodded softly " Phoren, it's ok, please come back. i'm here now.. i still care about you.. i am loyal to you.." she gently nuddled his hand with her snout, wanting him to pet her, hopingto help him in any way possible.

[PhorenNarqu ] "All dead! They're all dead! I killed them!"

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she sighed softly : " phoren, yo uhave to come back to reality. please? for me?" she whimpered softly... did.. she care about phoren, as more than a friend?.. but rieken, she hadn't seen him in ages, maybe he ws gone.. she looked away from phoren painfully, her heart ws aching, torn by so many emotions.,

[PhorenNarqu ] "I'm on fire! You're on fire! We're all on fire! Oh gods! Make them stop, make them stop..."

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she lowered her head, crying softly from his words. he was talking nonsence, and she couldn't help. she lay by his side, rsting her head in his lap " phoren..." she said softly : " ..i... i think i love you" her voie was quiet, soft, trembling full of firght.

Triad blinks, flinching slightly at Kodora's loud voice, though he remains standing there, staring back at Kodora. "I do not hate that person," Triad informs her calmly. "I was simply informing you of my past experiences with him. Perhaps he was friendly to you. I have no evidence to support such, but I am willing to believe that it is possible. From what I have seen, however, I believe that the Jester entity was both highly dangerous, very powerful, and completely unpredictable." As much as Triad is trying to hide it, a hint of his feelings do show through. No hate is bourne upon his face ... only fear.

[PhorenNarqu ] "All gone... I don't want to go... Why did she bite me? Why?"

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA: she sighed, and sat back down, not angry at him, jsut heart broken. " i wish i could be with Jesty, i want to be whereever he is."she whimpered softly. she wnted to be held, by anyone. " why was ithe only one who loved him?"

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she sighe and looked up to phoren " i wish yo uheard my words. i wish i could make your pain stop. i wish i coud take everything bad in your life that happend amd make it dissapear. i wish you and chiren still loved eachother, or that you and aislynn still loved eachother, i wish you could be happy again.."

[PhorenNarqu ] "Blood... Blood everywhere... My blood! No! NO no no!"

Triad 's eyes go very wide. "I do not believe you could survive the place where Jester is now," he states calmly. "The sheer gravitational and temporal forces alone would prove highly hazardous to you without suitable protection." Triad frowns, though. It is clear that Kodora desires something more than words, but Triad isn't truly certain what that is, or if he is even capable of giving it to her. "I am sorry," he says. Perhaps that is simply the best he can do.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she criedsoftly, her eyes shut tightly, whimpering softly, her horn glowing bightly " phoren, do you not hear my words. is there no hope for you? plese.. i need you.."her body trembled a bit, she recoiled her hed out of his lap, laying it on the ground " phoren..."

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she gnetly licked his hand and sighed : " phoren.. i've .. heald thi in for too long. i have ot tel you something.."

[PhorenNarqu ] "What?"

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she hesitated, and looked away " i .. love you phoren. some how i know. i will never see rieken again.." she sighed softl " i love you sso much phoren" she repeated to him.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] DORA: she whimpers softly, bringing her kneese to her chest, her arms crossed apon them and her forhead resting on her arms " i don't care. .i would die for jesty. i want him back. nothingsthe same without him. i havn't been happy since he left." her shoulders jerked softly with each cryand whimper. " i thought i was happy again, but i'm not.. i want ot be with him." she cried, wel more like sobbing, she was heart broken.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA*

[PhorenNarqu ] "You... Love me?"

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she nodded softly begining to blush " i've loved yo ufor a long time.." she shied away, moving her head to lay on the ground again.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Well, I love you too."

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she looed back up at him in suprise : " you.. do?" she smield softly : " i was afraid you culd never love me.."

[PhorenNarqu ] "Of course I love you. I care about you."

Triad bites his lip as he watches Kodora fall to the ground and begin to sob. Again, he isn't sure what to do. He tries to think of what Lydia would do in such a circumstance ... slowly, uncertainly, Triad moves closer to Kodora to place a hand gently upon her shoulder. He's never done anything like this before, so he takes care not to exert a great deal of pressure. Just enough to let Kodora know that he is there.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA: she turned aorund sobbing into Triads shoulder, not saying a world, just crying softly. this is where she could use flash or blue, but triad would be good for now. " i just wish i could have said good bye to him..i wantot hear his tiwsted laugh, see his pasty skin, feel his body body when he cuddled him. the bells , the collar. i miss everyithing about him" she cried softly. " i wis h i could be like him" she missed him so much. she would have done anything to bring him back to her.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she looked to phoren : " i .. thought yo uwould never love me. after waht chiren and aslyn put yo uthrough. i thought you could never love again. certainl y not me"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Oh."

PhorenNarqu went silent, but soon spoke up again "Why don't you... Why don't you turn into your human form?"

Triad watches as Kodora practically falls on top of him and begins to cry over him. I mean, Triad's roughly the size of a six year old boy, and Kodora more like a twelve year old. To her great surprise, if she would notice, her tears do not moisten his clothing, simply rolling down over his surface. A simple gesture had quickly turned into something more complicated. He does his best now to just 'go with it,' taking one of his arms and carefully bringing it around to her back, holding her. All in all, the image would be rather comical were the topic not so tearful.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she nodded softly, and formed back int her human form, thoug hsh ewas naked, last time she had trasnformd she was bathing . so there she sat, beside Phoren , naked. she had a raounded curvy yet slim body. long ice blue hair. she wasa frail creature, delecate , what a woamn of the times was supposed to be.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] [ where is umm what is her name? shouldn't she bet there with triad?]

PhorenNarqu sat there, and thought. He still wasn't entirely in his right mind. So he did something rash. He put his hand on her naked thigh. Nothing more, and stayed silent

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she looed at him and flinched away. she sighed and took his hand in hers " phoren. i love you, but i'm not about to put out any time soon "she mield softly.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Oh. I understand."

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she looked ot phoren " i'm a bit cold. do you have anythign i could put on till i find someclothing?" she asked softly

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA: she soon calmed down and began to hold triad instead of him holding her. " thank you triad" she said softly " thank you"

PhorenNarqu shook his head, but then remembered the matle around his shoulders, which he quickly removed and passed to her. But he made no effort to conceal the fact that he was taking in the details of her body

Omenis steps softly towards the hot springs..opulent eyes had spoted the steam rising from a little away and from yesterday's experince she wondered if it was similair to the place Shouou had taken her to...head turning as she looks around taking in this places details

[PhorenNarqu ] "Yes..." He returned his hand to her thigh, wether or not she had covered it. Feeling the soft skin there

Suzaki looks around happly she loved visiting new placers in her kitting form she meowed happly jumping around so playfully

Triad would simply nod, were his head capable of performing such a moment. So instead, a verbal response. "You're quite welcome, Kodora. I can see now why you wished to avoid such a topic." A brief pause for contemplation. "I must admit to having some further questions about the matter, but out of respect for your wishes, I shall keep them to myself." Suddenly, Triad's face visibly brightens as another whom he is familiar with appears, one whom he is very curious about. He would move to greet Omenis, were it possible for him to do so without disturbing Kodora.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she gently took his hand and held it in hers, hoping he would get the message not to touch there.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KOPDORA :she gently moved away and sat at him . " what is it you want to know triad?" she asked, rather inrigued by him

PhorenNarqu got the picyte, and this time put an arm around her, pressing her up against him, but again, doing nothing else. It was not quite as obvious as placing his hand on her thigh

Omenis steps lightly out of the flora surroundings of the mountains to the clearing of the springs...her attention resting upon the male and female her head tilting a litle as she takes in the appearance of the female so obviously recently used the pool of hot springs by her ...lack of dress...head turning as movement catches her attention to the short male...a smile slowly appearing as she recognises him from one habitant of the island

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she closed her eyes happily ,and began to sleep "i lovey ou phoren" she aid softly before fionnaly falling to the land of nod

Suzaki blinked her bright ocen blue eyes takeing in the whole area she then saw the girl she had seen when in her cage she moewed more happly juming up to her shoulder licking her face over exsitibley

Triad frowns uncertainly. "If I ask you, will it make you cry again?" He looks back over his shoulder to where Omenis is currently ... as always, the ominous metal airship is hovering over everything, watching from above.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] [lol she is wearing akimono. which in european dress, back then would be a lack there of, but for her, thats normal clothing lol so if yoru charactoer ois of european decent, then lol itsfunnay lol]

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she shook her head: " i wil ltell if you if i dont' want to answer it. so ask away. i will not cry, i promise" she smiled softly and gave him a hug .

Omenis chuckles softly as she small furry creature seemed to jump upon her shoulder..her head moving slightly to nuzzle her cheek against the soft fur of the animal....voice as soft as feathers " hello ...kitten....that is what you are?"

Nala was tree walking. Her form as light and wispy as the very essence of nature. Feeling one with the trees so much more like this. It caused her to smile, even though her sadder emotions. Finally, the figure stepped out from a nearby tree. Slender leg first, through the slit of her long green skirt. A billowing white linen shirt, accented with the gold and emerald necklace about her lilly white throat. Glorious locks spilled down her shoulders in layers, bangs hanging just above her eyes. The very strands seemed almost as if they were spun from pure gold. Eyes of the purest green, so true and full of innocence. She was a child of the earth, truly.

Triad gets hugged ... something that he is more accustomed to, and makes him smile. "Alright," he agrees. "One thing that I wished to know is whether you think it's possible for something else other than the jester to make you happy again." He stands there, hands clasped behind his back, awaiting Kodora's response ... and secretly hoping to speak with the other young woman with the kitten on her shoulder.

Suzaki gave a happy nod but then purred as she was nuzzled and she meowd lightly now curling up in to a ball resting on this ladys shoulder happly staying in her kiting form

Nala shifted the satchel she carried, a tilt of her head as she looked over who was around. Elegantly pointed ears were seen between her locks, those eyes glancing to each for a moment. A small humming in thought. Then a sigh passed, causing her slender body to rise and fall for a moment.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she sighed soflty: " it's not impossible, it's jsut nothing has, not so far. i mean i get short periods of happyness, but nothing that jester gave me" she sighed softly stretchign ut her legs her kimono bunched up about her knees. " he was.. differnt, like me. not accepted amoung other, lik e i have been most of my life" thats all she could really come up with , " he gave me a feeling like i havnt felt since my mama and papa died"

Omenis chuckles as her arms rise ...fingers curling gently around the form of the animal ..truely she does not remember this being from the neko in the cage of yesterday..but joy was in her heart at the presence of the creature....lifting it down as she cradles it within one arm as the fingers of the other strokes and rubs its form..

PhorenNarqu sat there, holding her for a while, silent, but closed his eyes. Going back to his little dream world and he soon opened them again. And looked at her in his arms, but made no movment. His gibbering starting up again. It was always either the gibbering, a slight bit of normality, but even then a screwed up part, or a split personality.

Triad turns his senses briefly to each new individual that enters the area directly below the large metal airship high above. To Kodora, he nods, grinning satisfactorily. "Thank you. That was all that I wished to know. Happiness is a wonderful emotion, and one that I would not wish anyone to be deprived of." He finds another thought to be relevant, so he speaks it aloud. "I am happy that I met you here today ..." He blinks now, realizing that he does not yet know this girl's name.

Suzaki purrs happly as she does so meowing a little more she blinks her eyes looking around the area as she feels rather safe being cradled her she closers her eyes a little not to sleep just to enoy being loved she purred again happly

Nala recoiled for a moment, then took another step forward. Slowly, she approached more. The slumbering form of Moon and Phoren. The High elf coming all the more closer, eyes peering down. A frown gracing pale pink lips as she tilted her head. "Corellon, please help he who has forsaken you. He needs you.." She whispered softly.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she sighed softly, sleeping thorugh his gibberish. she loved him and knew she could help. oneday he owudl be better.

Omenis smiles down at the little kitten feeling its heartbeat as she cradles it ....a finger and thumb rubbing gently it's ear....before looking up and around..orginally she had treversed here drawn by the steam and memories of yesterday but now here she was unsure what she was to do...none seemed to be partaking in the springs....each seemingly in their own coupled groups..would she be wise to stay or go..

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA: "Your welcome....i .. never told you my name did i?" she paued for a moment, loookng ath im " I am called Kodora, it means little tiger" she nodded " I iwsh i could go on that big flying boat there, just to see what it's like.. then i could return you a favar, i could show yo usoem of the prettiest thigns in the world."

Nala placed her hands together, her delicate fingertips pressing together. Closing her eyes, she felt the wind, she heard it. Blowing through the trees, lifting the ends of her hair. Dancing across her lithe form. Finally, those eyes opened again, and she said out loud... Her voice like silver bells, ringing out in the air. "Phoren."

PhorenNarqu continued on with his gibberish. Not even paying her heed. Gibberish about bloodshed, and fire, and swords. Obviously, his insanity ran deeper than one would expect

Triad breaks into a great big grin of excitement, actually hopping up on his toes slightly. "Really?" Something almost imperceptible races beneath the veils of Triad's eyes as he looks to Kodora. "I'd like that very much, Kodora. Thank you!" Again, Triad's head turns in several other directions as he looks to the others nearby, excitement quickly becoming replaced by slight regret. "Perhaps we could do this later? There are other people here that I would like to speak with." He blinks now, curious. "Perhaps you'd like to meet them as well?"

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon finanly she woke up, hearing his gibberish words: she looked ot him worriedly and wraped her arms aroudj him, getly peting his head " phoren, my love, pelase, hear my voice. come back to me.. tel me whats happend"

Nala 's steps were light. She carefully weaved her way behind him, crouching down to look her friend over. A frown, as she looked to the other elf. Her eyes then travelled to his companion in his arms, but she let the female rest comfortably. Swallowing nervously for a moment, she reached out. A hand, glowing with a green force, fingertips pressing to his forehead. She was going to find out from the source.

Suzaki quicky jumps out of the womans arms now turning neko she looked at her still purring a little running around her happly she liked her as she been nice to her she rubed her head on her arm purrinng softly

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she looked to nala, ptoectivly wrpaed her arms around phoren and gently pulling him away from Nalas tuoch " May i ask who yo uare" she said firmly, worried about what she might to do phoren

PhorenNarqu remained with the gibberish, not answering. He'd sunk back, down, deeper and deeper, into the murky depths of his mind. She could not reach him. Nothing, was reaching him.

Nala recoiled as the female woke up, a frown coming over her features. Her head tilted for a moment. "An old friend of Phoren's. My name is Nalanistaristavirinailogalondel. Nala, for short, of course." She said. Her frown just deepened as she saw her friend slipping more. Her concern rising.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she nodded and gently lossend her arms fro m Phoren " can you help him at all i'm worried about him and i fear there is little i can do to help him"

Omenis opulent eyes widened in wonder as the small creature jumped away from her and changed...she had seen this done before but it never failed to amaze her....turning to try and keep her attention on the now neko female as the female circles about her...laughing as her arm is rubbed....." Well hello....who are you?"

Suzaki now sat in a crouched position just infront of the woman her tail swishing a little behind her "me is Suzaki" she said this 18 year old neko seemed to have the mind and persoily of a child " who you" she said licking her hand a little out of habbit meowing

Nala held her hand again, tilting her head once more. Her gaze fell to her friend and she let out a sigh. "That is what I was attempting.." She explained. Again, the winds blew, and she touched her lips. Murmering words underneath, kissing her fingers for Corellon. She was His maiden. Those fingers soon trailed to Phoren's forehead. Again, hesitating once, before touching to connect. No doubt, madness would await the fair elven.

Omenis tilts her head though the smile stayed upon her lips....this question she knew the answer to...." Omenis....that is what I am....called" her fingers moving slightly as they are licked

Maverick walks toward the hot springs, his silver armor glew in the pale moonlight, he looked around as his hand rested on his katana out of habit, he looked at the gathering of people as he leaned against the mountainside, his black eyes scaning each person in turn, his fangs lengthened as he was hungry but he merely ignored it, he did not like the blood of the innocent anyways, he sighed as he looked at the moonlight

Suzaki mowed again looking at her "Suzaki and Omenis friends?" she siad as she ran round her again happly rhia girl had a lot of energy in her

Triad bites his lip, not wanting to wait any longer for Kodora to reply ... besides he wasn't going far ... he looks over his shoulder one final time before at last his image begins to waver and distort, growing fuzzy as the colors dissipate and fade away. A similar effect occurs now near Omenis and the neko woman, electric hues sparking and playing over a small area before resolidifying into the image of the small boy once more, dressed in his usual dark grey clothing, with white hair and curious eyes. He smiles at Omenis now, hands still folded behind his back. "Hello, Omenis." A side glance is given to the feline woman as well, curiousity overcoming him once again.

[Suzaki ] this*

Omenis look turns to puzzlement..she was unsure what Suzaki meant....her smile broadening as the question forms in her mind and is spoken aloud..." What is a friend?"...no sooner are the words uttered then her head turns to watch the shimmering of colours and the form of the short male appearing.....nodding slightly " Hello"

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she looked at Triad walk away. shesighed softly and untied her kimono , and jumped back into the warm water with al oud splash. she sunk in again hapily, just so her nose was abouve the water so she wcouyld breath. she sat up again , jsut so the water covered her collar bone " i wish someone knew my birthday. no ones asked though, so why should i bother to tell. i';m 80 years old now, no one has noticed " 80's years old? for a human she would be old, but she was a hanyou, a halfbreed, half demo nahalf human, thus the ageing process was slowed. thus, she looked only about 12 or 13 years old, and hadstill the mentality of a child of that age asswell.

Suzaki giggled "friend is some one who u like to be with and have fun with also take cares of each other and are nice to one another" she said with a happy smile on face as she looked to the boy she blinked she did not fully trusted males

PhorenNarqu shivered a little, as their minds connected. Seemingly nothing else

Nala held her fingers there, her eyes closing. She became still.

Maverick wa growing bored and he drew his katana, the vampire Samarai began to train, his body was one with the sword in a graceful dance as he slashed into the air, a low hum heared as the sword, Twilight, cut through the very air, his black eyes never changing their intent gaze, intense hatred fueled the Vampire Hunter as he invisioned his parents being attacked by the creatures, his fangs lengthened as he transformed into the Giant black lycan, yet still it did not slow down his rythmic motions with the 7ft blade, he was fully focused and his muscles ripped slightly with each move, a low growl could be heared

Triad is content to simply watch for the moment, not wanting to interrupt whatever is going on between Omenis and Suzaki. So he simply stands there, watching and waiting for his chance to speak with Omenis patiently.

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she stayed silent, watching herl ove. " please be gentle with him" she asked of Nala.

Omenis tilts her head as is her habit when thinking over knowledge that had been imparted to her letting it sink into her....."There seems.....to be many friends..here by what you say...." her brows knit just barely as she notices the change in Suzaki on the appearance of Triad......" What is wrong?" her voice laced with concern

Nala didn't respond. Her conciousness wasn't currently there. Her head had slumped a little, her fingers still on his forehead. She didn't move, and was silent.

Suzaki smileing "yups there is" she then turns kitting form retuning to Omenis shoulder happly gives a little lick on her face again and rests there

Unicorn_Of_The_Moon she grew worried about them both and gently took both nala and phoren into her arms ,to make sure the ywere ok..

Triad watches in wide eyed wonder as the feline woman shifts and changes, becoming a kitten. He's never seen anything like it. An audible gasp of awe is heard as the boy brings both hands up to his mouth. "Wow ..." he whispers, gazing at the kitten now in wonderment.

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] KODORA:she climbed out of the water and put on her kimon, slowly walking over ot triad, but staying behind him for some distance. she stayed silent, watching him, unsure of what to do.

Maverick looked around as he transformed back into his vampire form as he prayed lightly, he slammed his katana in his sheath with the loud sound of metal on metal, he looked around with a black goze then began to leave

Omenis arms mnove instantly as she once more craxlles the small kitten though unsure why the appearance of the short male should have such an effect on the female...hands resting upon the small form protectively....blinking a little now at the short male's reaction

Suzaki still happly curled up purred a little more as she was cradeled in her arm she looked around feelling rather safe now happly she did not know why this woman made her feel this safe

Triad grins one last time at the kitten before returning his gaze to Omenis happily. "Do you remember me?" he asks her. "We met before, on Redfang Island." Triad has many more questions on his mind, but holds them back for now. He had learned rather harshly that asking too many questions at once tended to irritate others.

Omenis looks up now her attention upon Triad that smile hovering upon the corners of her mouth...nodding...." Yes I rememeber....you belong to the large object that was..." head going back a little as she looks up..." Thre..." her gaze held there just mere seconds at the self same craft still there in the sky....slowly looking back down at him...her fingers still stroking the kitten in her arms..

wolf_acota shimmers into the springs area, his wings were folded behind him as his golden eyes scanned themany pople here, his fur stirred a bit in the breeze, he was a little tired and the glow in his eyes seemed to be more dimmed, his hand touched his cross lightly as he linked with God, he asked him mentally, father i need all available data on the inhabitants of this mountain spring, the lycan archangels eyes flickered white as he was filled with the data of the heavens, he smiled as he looked at the one named suzaki, his hold eyes glittered a bit once again, i see father thank you...suzaki huh? queen of nekos... he leaned against the wall as he dropped his link with god and simply stood there musing to himself

[wolf_acota ] gold not hold*

Suzaki sighed in the ladys arms purring happly she was so happy to be here just reaxing she keept purring on in her arms lazyly just curled up

[Unicorn_Of_The_Moon ] [ i gonan go to bed. ttly all. nice meeting y uall. seye oualter phoren, triad, byebye]

Triad looks back up at the large metallic airship hovering in the sky above happily. "Actually, that's not entirely correct," he tells her. "I don't belong to the ship. I am the ship," he states, as if it were the easiest concept to grasp in the entire world. He looks back to the kitten now, biting his lip awkwardly. "I don't suppose it'd be alright if I ... if I ..." For some reason, the exact words evade him as he holds his hand out to touch the kitten ... but his hand is quickly withdrawn as another arrives on the scene, Triad's attention now turning to him curiously.

wolf_acota felt his spear glow brightly behind him, the damned archangel that was inprisioned inside the 10ft, white lord of spears, spoke in his head softly, the voice of a madman as he laughed, master hungry...feed us will he...blood of a vampire perhaps? the Angellicus whispered inside his mind, acota said back telepathically, hold on Angellicus, i need to do some things yet, acota had forgotten to eat lately and he could feel the first stages of bloodlust creep up on him, he shook it off as his gaze once more lingered on suzaki as a smile parted his muzzle

Sophie_hope yawned a little entering she had a fun day worth of training she blinked looking around seeing one enemy she keept her eyes on him but desided not to act she looked around as she desided to relex she was feeling rather tiered

Omenis looks at Triad upwards back again.....she was unsure how it was possible but she had no reason to doubt him...indeed why should he be telling her falsehoods...seeing his hand move towards the kitten only to withdraw she smiled....." I dont think Suzaki will....." she tilts her head realising she did not know what Suzaki would do at all..

Suzaki looks at the lady holding her and smiled talking in her mind ~you no worry Suzaki good neko she will be good and nice to people you likes~ she said again talking in her mind

wolf_acota felt sophie in the back corner of his mind, he smiled as he was amused by her, he said simply into the air, "has the little angel slayer came for my head again" he would hold out his arm and his spear would shimmer into his outstretched hand, he spun it around as the metal hummed, tearing through the very air, it glew a bit also and his eyes looked at her. He leaned on it casually, his left hand created a small orb of white hot light, as his smile showed his canines, he yawned a bit, he was tired also but he was ready to defend himself, he did not begin to power up though.

Sophie_hope blinked as she looked around and saw a lady holding the queen of the Neko kind in her kittin form she then looked to Acota "not today i have come to seve one of the few royle people of this land i feel fit to rule it" she aroched Suzaki bowing her head a little "hello Queen how is your day been " she said as she assumed the girl holding her must be a sevent of hers

Triad is caught up for the moment as he senses a very strong divine presence ... two, in fact. This whole area currently seems to be teeming with divinities, both good and bad, at the moment. Triad remembers to make a note of this place ... perhaps some strange property of the springs drew extraplanar beings to this spot. For now, though, he looks back to Omenis and the kitten in her arms, nodding. Slowly, carefully, he reaches out with a hand to touch the kitten with his fingertips just behind the ears, rubbing ever so slightly. In truth, Triad's touch would seem odd to the kitten ... there is no warmth, no sharpness of fingernails, no texture ... nothing that one would probably expect. Indeed, Triad's hand feels solid and the contact is felt and very real. Just unusual.

wolf_acota nodded to her smiling as he said to her, "then may you walk in the light this day child" he knew she would take it offensively but he didnt care, after all she was the one and only self titled Angel Slayer, though acota was much higher then a angel...much higher indeed

Suzaki swished her tail a little enjoying the comfet of the woman holding her she smiled a little a little as he did she loved to be felt behind the ear purring a little she then looked to Sophie talking in her mind to ~Sophie me no need you today you can go play~ she said happly

Sophie_hope blinked and noded she tured around and went to the hotspring sighing a little befor getting in still fully dressed she completly ignored Acota she was so weak right now and she needed rest this was perfect for her

wolf_acota was feeling in a good mood and he looked at her, a smile in his warm golden eyes, he spread his wings abit as he shimmered in the spring across from her, "you know lil angel slayer...i can heal your fatigue" he was indeed in a good mood today

Omenis nods slightly " See....Suzaki ...likes you...she is making hat funny noise kittens do"

Triad beams at Omenis as he hears the kitten begin to purr, absolutely delighted by the sound. When everything in this world is unknown, each new experience is a treasured gift. "Purring," Triad informs Omenis, nodding happily. "My databanks told me that kittens respond to intimate contact with a noise called 'purring.' I had wondered just what this 'purring' was." He tilts his head, continuing to move his fingers along over the kitten's head, behind the ears and all around. "I like it."

Tala looked at the spring for a bit until she decided to get in. She took off her clothes, but leaving on her bathing suit. She got in, sat down, and looked around. Then she leaned back and closed her eyes.

wolf_acota realized she was gone and he layed there in the spring but his bloodlust was becoming unbarable and he had no creatures to hunt around him, he began to shake his head as he got out, his wings spread as they flapped a bit, the water instantly evaporating, he sighed as he reached for his spear, it shimmered into his hand before he needed to pick it up, he placed it on his back as he looked around

[Omenis ] " Purring...?" her head leaning down a little closer to the kitten as she listens to the soft rhymn of the sound emitting from the creature...glancing at Triad..." What is a ...databank?"

Nala snapped to her senses, her hand falling from his forehead. Golden eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly as she broke the reverie.

PhorenNarqu blinked, a little groggy. And looked to see Nadya there, asleep. "Oh... By the gods... Please tell me I didn't..."

Triad suddenly brings his hand away from the kitten's head, starting at Omenis incredulously. Apparently this is a question he has never been asked. "A databank is a place where information is stored," he tells her, blinking. "The actual word is derived by joining another pair of words: data, meaning information, and bank, meaning a place to keep things." Traid feels extremely proud of himself now, being able to answer someone else's question instead of the other way around. "I could show you, if you like ... but you'd have to come aboard first." He looks up to the airship overhead briefly before looking back to Omenis, and then the kitten. "You could bring Suzaki, if you like."

Nala fell back from the pair, a little groggy herself. Her eyes straining as she looked about, the elven maiden focusing finally. She was quiet for the moment, just trying to manage to come back.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Nala, please tell me I didn't sleep with her."

Nala gazed at him, tilting his head. "I..do not know.. When I saw youtwo, you were only holding eachother. She was calling you love. That is all I know. My apologies." Her voice was small, soft.

Omenis already bright eyes gleam suddenly......" Do you mean fly.....I know how to do that Flash showed me...though we both had things called wings to do so...." falling silent as her head tilts..." This data bank is...like my memory perhaps?"

[PhorenNarqu ] "Bother... Well, I don't think I did... I'm pretty sure I'd be feeling the aftereffects if I had. So, that's good."

Nala just shook her head lightly, finding strength to stand now. She adjusted the satchel on her shoulder, and looked down at him and the female. "I...will leave you be. Glad to see you as the Phoren I knew again." She said only, taking a few steps.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Wait!"

Nala stopped, finally turning around slowly to look at him. "What is it? Do you need something else?" She asked.

Skiter enters in happy shes not alone, even if she dosent know them. She looks around and sits on the ground abul to relaxe now. She lays back and fells the air around her and loves every moment. " yeah...love that air" she says quietly to herslef lening up now looking at the sky.

[PhorenNarqu ] "Well, yes. Unless you're busy. We still need to go to the Fang to get more sands."

Triad 's brow furrows, considering. "I suppose it's similar to what you would call your memory, yes. But in the case of my databanks, the information was all put there by someone else. I didn't have to learn them myself, as the information was already there." He shakes his head, dismissing any further explanation. Too much further, and Triad would have to start explaining how his hardware and architecture physically function ... a task he is not prepared to do. "You won't need wings, though. I can come down to you." With that, the young boy closes his eyes and goes very still, apparently concentrating on something. The airship's wind turbines pick up speed as it leaves hover mode. Slowly, it dips to the north slightly, moving off in that direction to find a less crowded place to make its landing, parking in the air next to a subtle decline only a short walk to the north.

Nala faultered for a moment. "Oh." She was quiet for a moment, before looking back to him with a nod. "Very well. I will accompany you."

[PhorenNarqu ] "Thank you... So, do you remember where it is?"

Omenis clearly looks puzzled....how can he come down if he is already beside her....did not her memories get placed by others she turns carefully putting the kitten amongest a pile of leaves....covering it a little and looking about to make sure it would be safe though from what she was still not sure....though others seem to think some people are not good here

Nala tilted her head in contemplation for a moment. A nod now. "Yes. ..Y'naa mountains?" She was not sure if she pronounced the first right. But the elf nodded, adjusting the bag more.

PhorenNarqu nodded. "That's it. It's in the northern reaches of the range."

Triad opens his eyes as the airship settles against the ground, looking back to where Omenis has placed the kitten, hidden safely among the leaves. He smiles, seeing the care she takes in doing so, before looking over his shoulder to where the airship is now parked and waiting for them. "If you'll follow me, Omenis?"

Omenis turns that ever smile upon her lips as she nods.....stepping towards him.." what are you Triad?"

Nala shifted a little, standing still, watching him. "Tell me when you are ready to leave..." Her hand waved, dismissing it for a moment. "I will let you..finish up there." She frowned, but turned away quickly, walking a little ways.

PhorenNarqu moved over to Nadya, and rested her down against the ground, tucking the mantle around her. "I'm ready" He said, as he stood and walked back to her

Triad sighs. Apparently his earlier statement proved to be an insufficient explanation. "As I mentioned already, I am the airship," he reiterates. "Please don't be confused by the image of the boy you see before you," he says, gesturing down at himself. "This is merely a holo-field - a complex illusion involving varying aspects of magic and technology. It is used to facilitate my interactions with others." He stands there, waiting for Omenis to either ask another question or accompany him to the ship.

Nala nodded a little. She held out a hand, but would not look at Phoren. "I have taken the liberty of examining the trees there in my absence. This will be easy. Do not let go."

Omenis tilts her head in silence as she follows him obviously thinking over his explanation....the words to which he had decided to use to describe himself....much he did not understand but she could feel the underline feeling accompanying the sigh and thus stayed quiet

PhorenNarqu extended a hand "Okay..."

[PhorenNarqu ] *extended a hand and took hers with it

Nala nodded stiffly, again not looking back. "Tree walking." She said simply. It could cover a long distance in short amounts of time. Stepping through one to another elsewhere. She travelled within nature a lot. As long as he held to her delcate hand, he would follow her. She disappeared into the tree, pulling him along.

Triad begins to walk with Omenis toward the airship. He can see her mind still trying to take in his explanation. In truth, it really wasn't the easiest thing in the world for an inexperienced mind to digest. He has a better idea though, of how to explain things to her. Upon reaching the airship, Omenis can see that one of the massive rear hangar doors has been opened and a boarding platform has been extended. Inside, one of the Gremlin drones silently awaits the arrival of the pair, its hemispherical metal body floating just off the floor with its numerous 'tool arms' dangling beneath it, sensor dish extended from its body and sweeping the area to keep a constant look-out.

Omenis pauses eyes lifting up to the extended ramp before walking forwards her head high as it moves slightly form side to side trying to take in the details of the object she is entering.....eyes widening at the metal being...her arm streytching out to touch the surface of this creature....another step closer

Triad smiles as Omenis touches the floor of the hangar. "That's me," he says to her happily. "My body, anyway." Triad now takes this opportunity to demonstrate another point as the boy's image clouds and fuzzes over, colors scattering and dissipating into nothing-ness, only to reappear just a few feet away from Omenis, the same lights playing about an area before congealing once more into the form of the white haired boy, who now holds his hands out, gesturing to the image of himself. "Illusion. See?"

Omenis hesd tilts.....she had sensed the wiring and motors in the hovering metal body.....how cold it had felt to the touch much like Ta'laman's hand had.....tentively her arm rises as her hand reaches to the illsusion....shivering somewhat at the touch

Omenis eyes drop to the male.....a hint of sadness upon her voice......" You........you are not real...?" eyes lifting to look about the ship.....gazing about....

Omenis steps to the wall of the craft hand lifting as she places it plam flat upon its steelness surface....closing her eyes as she eans forwards resting her cheek against it

Triad frowns slightly in concern as he sees Omenis shiver, not understanding why. "Is something wrong?" But then his question is answered with another from the girl. His forehead wrinkles a bit at that. "The airship you are standing in is quite real," he explains. "This image," he continues, briefly scattering and distorting his childish image briefly just for emphasis, "is the illusion. But it's an illusion that I have control over, so in a way it is still me." Triad shakes his head, groaning in slight frustration. Apparently he isn't satisfied with his inability to communicate such a simple concept to the girl. He sighs slightly, watching Omenis's curious behavior as she presses her cheek up to his surface, tilting his head in curiousity.

Omenis opulent fire opal eyes suddenly burst open.....her hand rising as it stroks the wall of the ship......" This...this is life....full....living...wonderous....sooo much vibrance...."

Triad simply watches Omenis ... something tells him that more is going on with her than simple physical contact. The hovering drone has also turned to watch, very curious as to what on earth the girl is doing. Triad ... simply steps forward slowly, walking up to Omenis now and nodding to her. "Yes. That life you're sensing ... that's me." The boy's image blinks now, smiling. "See?"

Omenis rises both arms now....wide fingers stroking as if trying to hug the ship....bright eyes moving to rest upon the short male......" You......you are an....." her brows knit as she obviously seaches for the right word/s to express her meaning and finding known that she understands

Triad nods, finishing Omenis's sentence for her. "I am an airship," he tells her. "A sentient, self-aware, living, magical machine. But first and foremost ... an airship." He smiles broadly as the girl attempts to 'hug' him, though he seems to be slightly embarrassed. He takes a step or two towards the girl, awkwardly reaching out to her with both of his arms. "I think you may find my image slightly easier to hold."

Omenis looks puzzled not knowing what sentient means but ....living she does....and so much more she had sensed....something pure....her arms dropping from the craft s she slowly turns to the boy.....stepping into his arms as her aown wrap around his waist....her smile broadening her happiness as plain as anything

Triad wraps his own arms around Omenis ... illusionary or not, they have substance to them of a sort, and can be felt just like any other solid object. But there is no warmth there. Triad's illusion would be room temperature, if anything. But the hug is felt just the same.

Omenis smiles as she leans back.....taking his hand...placing it upon her own cheek as she close her eyes....." Can......can you feel me?"

Triad 's eyes wrinkle slightly. "Not really," Triad tells her, frowning. Again, she had asked a question that was difficult to explain. "I can only feel what my sensors allow me to. I can sense the presence of two life-forms in this room, their relative body temperature, heartbeats, and various mental patterns, in addition to magical and spiritual presences. The sensors in the floor inform me of your approximate body weight and position. Visual and aural sensors allow me to 'see' and 'hear' what is going on. But my illusion provides me with only a nominal amount of feedback. Just enough so I can sense where my illusion is in relation to other objects, as well as the relative pressures being applied to its various parts."

Omenis blinks not expecting this reply.......wondering about how to make it so this being feels what it touches bsides the jumble it had told her...again much she was finding hard to understand but will go over this again later in her mind....why was it so hard?

Triad simply sighs and shrugs, giving Omenis's hand a gentle squeeze. "I am complicated," he says at length, an apologetic look in his eyes.

Omenis smiles her fingers squeezing back gently......." Every being is such......but not to feel....to feel the softness of skin...or a leaf...the smootheness of what is stone.....sooo much Triad"

Triad nods, a bit of sadness showing in his eyes. "I have no sense of smell either," he states plainly.

Omenis blinks....." You.....you can not smell the flowers.....or the rain.....?"

Triad shakes his head. "I can sense the climactic and atmospheric pressure changes that usually occur just before a rainfall ... and if I can get close enough, I can tell you how much pollen is in the air in parts per million, as well as determine which pollen belongs to which species of plant." He says it as if this is somehow supposed to make up for what he lacks.

Omenis tilts her head a little brows knitting deeply......she wanted this being to feel and smell what it sees....how can it experience things if it does neither...her attention drawn back to him as he speaks......" What.....what is pollen?"

Suzaki pads back to this area in her kitting form meowing softly as she slowly makes her way over to Omenis agian and then pouncers on her head happly meowing

Triad blinks to Omenis ... as well as the cat which proceeds to land upon her head. He sighs, slumping forward visibly. "I can see this may take a while," he says aloud, frowning.

Shouou hums idly looking around. "Omenis... Omenis..."

Triad is actually just inside the hangar of a large airship at the moment, standing next to Omenis in a large type of garage which makes up the rear of the massive floating ship.

Triad also notes that said airship is currently at ground level, with its hangar doors open and boarding platform extended.

Omenis jumps slightly not expecting something to jump upon her shoulders....glancing to see....a smile forming at the little kitten though it turns downwards upon Triad's words and seeing his frown....letting his hands goes as she steps back sensing she had down something wrong...head coming up slowly...

Suzaki blinks looking at Omenis sencing she is unhappy about somthing she licks her cheek encugebley and purrs a little at her still reasting happly on her shoulder as she looks at the boy thinking a little

Shouou blinks as he walks around the spring to get to the Airship. "Hello? Oh Hello?"

Omenis feels the rasping surface of the tiny tongue as it glides over the surface of her cheek....reaching up to remove it from its perch and instead cradles it in her arm.....head turning as she recognises the voice from without...her own voice rising a little in greeting....." Shouou...is that you?"

Triad turns now, hearing another voice approaching from the springs. The white haired boy moves over to the open hangar door, looking out upon the stranger. "Omenis is in here," he calls out to the man, waving his arms.

Shouou waves to the group and smiles "Hi, Hello Omenis." as he walks over to the group. "You just like to wonder don't you Omenis."

Suzaki sighs happly again as she is cradeled in Omenis amrs meowing sofly her blond flurry body her blue eyes half shut still looking around a little but in this calm state she was now less alert then most times

Omenis smiles as she watches Shouou begin to approach them nodding....." I havce learnt many things today....." her smile broadens as she holds the kitten out to him...." Kitten's noise is a purr"

Triad beams proudly, eyes closed and chin up. He's the one who told her what purring was.

Shouou pets the kittens head softly and smiles at Omenis and nods. "Well I'm glad you're out learning things, going to stay here for a bit then? Good people I hope."

Zoe walks over to the hot springs with a cold and thirsty look on her face.

Omenis nods to Triad as if confirming his none spoken statement...." Triad told me....he is my.....friend...as is Suzaki...."

Suzaki meowed sofly as she is petted smirking to herself a little non of them had a clue she was Queen of the neko race but she liked it that way she just purred happly now feeling so conftabul like this

Suzaki meowed sofly as she is petted smirking to herself a little non of them had a clue she was Queen of the neko race but she liked it that way she just purred happly now feeling so conftabul like this

Shouou nods to Triad and waves to the kitten. "Hello."

Triad nods to Shouou. "Omenis is welcome to stay aboard any time she likes," Triad tells the man, casually glancing over all the oddities that decorate his form. One particular item he does recognize. "The fool ... searching ..." Triad's eyes flutter closed for a few seconds, opening a moment later. "Ahh. A tarot card. First of the major arcana. Represents beginnings, luck, spontanaeity and energy."

Shouou clicks his tounge and makes gun finger shots at Triad. "Bingo... But what of the inverse?"

Omenis looks between Shouou and Triad having no idea what either are talking about nor how it come about though it pleased her to know they seemed to.....is the word liked

Triad frowns slightly, pondering his question. "According to my databanks, Inverted tarot cards have a meaning which is either reversed or to a somewhat lesser extent. If The Fool were inverted I suppose its meaning would change to represent endings, poor luck, repetitiveness and exhaustion?" Triad tilts his head and looks back to Shouou curiously to see if he is right.

Suzaki blinks at the man and the boy she then talks in Omenis mind ~what they talk about~ she said having a confussed look on her face but still curled up in her ball

[Shouou ] "It can but in some cases inverses can be completely out of no where, but in this case it's correct." as he chuckles and leans back into his heels, he blinks at Suzaki. "I thought there was something funny about your aura... A telepathic cat."

Omenis shakes her head a little....looking down at the kitten...." Did you speak?"....glancing up as Shouou speaks...." What are you two talking about?"
