fumods: All right! For tonights set up you all get a text message from the arcane professor Selovin Bane asking you to come see him at 8pm. If you have a course tonight he'll make sure you get special permission to skip even!
fumods: So Professor Bane calls you all to the arcane resource center. Once there he walks everyone through the library to one of the professors offices in back (His it would appear) and shuts the door once everyone's in the room. He moves over to his desk, sits down and gives a rather sheepish smile to the group. "I've called you all here because I actually need some help..." He pauses for a moment. "You see, my focus is summoning and the creatures are always benevolent if sometimes a bit mischievous." His eyes sparkle for a moment before they settle back into seriousness again. "Well, I summoned a few imp friends to help me while working on a project and they seem to have wondered off. I would normally just dismiss them but... I'm not really sure where they've gotten off to right now." He pauses. "I know they're on campus still..." The sheepish smile widened.
redeemedwayward: "...."
cheshiresprat: "Correct me if I'm misunderstood," begins Locke, "but are you telling us you summoned demons onto campus? And then lost said demons? And are alluding to having us solve the problem?"
thisfoldedheart: "...Imps?"
fumods: "They are completely harmless, they will not hurt you or anyone, they're merely tricksters." He frowned at the implication. "I did summon them yes, but they're perfectly friendly."
thisfoldedheart: He still looks apprehensive. "Do these creatures bite...?"
redeemedwayward: "Catch or kill?"
roving priestess: Liadan is frowning, but listening to what everyone else has to say.
fumods: He shakes his head. "They will not bite or attack. They will squirm, fly and wriggle though." Looking over to Touya he seems a bit saddened at the second option. "Catch, no killing. They're similar to children in their approach to playing games. I would go catch them my self but you see there's three of them. I can only head after one at a time and god knows where they may be darting about."
metallicseraph: Looks annoyed. Looks really annoyed.
cheshiresprat: "And how would we find such elusive oddities then?" grates Locke.
fumods: "They can't turn invisible or anything, they just run around a lot. It's a bit too much for me to keep up with all of them."
thisfoldedheart: Tsurugi frowns. "Will we be supplied with... nets?"
fumods: With a wave of a hand he summoned a picture ( http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs32/f/2008/2
cheshiresprat: Locke sighs heavily, then puts on a devilish grin. "And how will you repay your faithful students for such a kind and loving deed?" he beams.
metallicseraph: Half smile at Locke before looking back at Professor Bane. "My thoughts exactly."
fumods: He pauses for a moment, clearly not having thought this part out all that well. "How about $50 each?" He offers with a shrug.
roving priestess: Liadan nods, obviously fine with that.
redeemedwayward: Touya scowls.
cheshiresprat: Locke guffaws. "I'll be in my room."
thisfoldedheart: "$50 more if it bites."
fumods: Frowns deeply. "They will not bite. The don't bite."
thisfoldedheart: "You never know." He's frowning right back at the professor.
redeemedwayward: "I don't need money. I want something useful." Touya says in Japanese because he doesn't know how to say it in English.
fumods: "I've worked with their race for 10 years and have never been bitten. If you do get bitten by them then it will be the first time in history." He pauses for a moment before waving. "Have a nice night Locke."
redeemedwayward: Touya nudges Tsurugi. "Translate for me."
thisfoldedheart: Tsurugi shrugs, his gaze sliding to Touya, then to Locke, then back to the professor. "You might get more help of you offer better than $50."
cheshiresprat: Locke bows, walks out of the room then keeps to the shadows within earshot. (HiS/MS)
thisfoldedheart: "Maybe something more useful than notes and coins."
fumods: Professor Bane frowns. "These are not threatening creatures, in fact this shouldn't take more than an hour of your time. If you would like to make a reasonable suggestion for a reward I am open to them but do keep in mind money, magic and items don't grow on trees."
roving priestess: Liadan looks out after Locke, but... stays where she is, sighing. "Perhaps something that will help us in our studies?"
fumods: "You're all from different schools, I'm not sure there's any one thing that would help all of you."
redeemedwayward: "Whatever. Let's just get this over with." Seems a little agitated.
fumods: Selovin sighs. "If you don't want to do this, it's fine. I'll find other people."
redeemedwayward: "I go finding."
thisfoldedheart: "I'll do it, but he is impatient." Gestures to Touya.
roving priestess: "Me too."
metallicseraph: Nods. "I'm in."
metallicseraph: Pauses. "But we get to keep the different energy tracking thing when we're done."
cheshiresprat: Locke smiles to himself, wondering if he can beat them to the chase. The challenge was much more enticing than the prize.
fumods: Gives Ty a very 'wtf' sort of look before laughing and shaking his head. "Fine, you each get the $50 I offered and the tracking thing." He waves his hand. "The supplies are behind you."
redeemedwayward: Goes to grab the supplies. "Ty should get one, I'll get one and you two-" Points at Liadan and Tsurugi because he doesn't really know their names. "get the last one."
thisfoldedheart: He does as per Touya's orders, looking over at Liadan. "Hello, we meet again." With a bit of a smile.
metallicseraph: "How fast are they?" Eyes Professor Bane.
fumods: His smile brightens. "They're speedy little buggers."
thisfoldedheart: Tsurugi grins hopefully at Liadan. "You have anything that can slow?"
roving priestess: "No?" she laughs though and moves toward the door. "But there are two of us, Tsurugi, so we should be fine?"
redeemedwayward: Just makes a derisive sound and heads out the door, following the tracker and choosing the one furthers from where they are now.
thisfoldedheart: He sucks in a breath through his teeth as he walks beside Liadan. "Strength is not always in numbers.."
metallicseraph: Looks confused as Touya heads off with the tracker before looking back at Bane. "You do have more than one, right?" Then Touya starts to follow the tracking signal
fumods: (There is no signal right now... You have to wonder around campus until it starts picking up an energy disturbance.)
cheshiresprat: [[Locke would follow the group at a distance far enough to hear everyone]]
metallicseraph: Ty frowns as Touya goes rushing out the door without giving anyone else time to breath or even a moment in between for any sort of communication or translation but follows along with net in hand.
thisfoldedheart: Tsurugi does the same, balancing his net against his shoulder.
fumods: (Okay, about half way to the mutant resource center through the underground tunnels you get a very faint beeping that fades away as you continue further in either direction)
redeemedwayward: Glances at the tracker, confused.
thisfoldedheart: Frowns. "What is the reading?"
redeemedwayward: Hands the detection device to Tsurugi.
cheshiresprat: Locke, upon hearing the beeping, looks around for the imp.
thisfoldedheart: He takes the tracker and moves around in circles, still frowning. "Maybe it is above the ground.."
fumods: (That heavily depends on where he's waving it towards. If he stands in one spot where a signal is being gotten it remains beeping, if he begins to walk down the hall way in either direction the signal begins to fade and then dies off.
thisfoldedheart: "Up there." He points toward the ceiling, handing the device back to Touya.
redeemedwayward: Gestures for him to keep it, looking unamused.
metallicseraph: Ty sighs. "Why do I think we're on a wild goose hunt."
thisfoldedheart: He offers it to Ty instead.
metallicseraph: Looks at it confused for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't want to break it."
roving priestess: "I can take it if you'd like?"
thisfoldedheart: He gives it to her.
roving priestess: Takes it and heads toward the nearest way out of the tunnels since they need to get above ground, checking the readings every so often.
fumods: (Okay, so they go back through the tunnels and up through Mallet Hall before heading back towards Merrill Hall, yea?)
cheshiresprat: [[Locke looks up before following them]]
fumods: (whooo, okay, the stone starts signaling when you get near the gym
cheshiresprat: [[wow I was underthe impression that it was machinery with dials and shit]]
redeemedwayward: Looks around for any imps.
thisfoldedheart: "Do these creatures make a sound?" Asks the question, not directed at anyone in particular.
roving priestess: Points toward the gym. "The signal's getting stronger." Starts to hurry a little since she was told that they moved quickly.
metallicseraph: To Tsurugi "I wish someone would have asked that earlier."
thisfoldedheart: He nods, a little absent-mindedly. "They look like they might sound... high."
fumods: (Ok, so what do you do? Do you rush into the gym? go around the gym? )
redeemedwayward: ((They're going to follow the beeps...
redeemedwayward: (Liadan doesn't really rush into things so much.
fumods: (Okay like I said above as you near the gym you start getting signal again, if you continue to go almost past the Gym the signal starts getting a lot stronger, when you're between the back of the theatre and the side of the gym the signal seems to be the strongest but there's nothing at eye level!
roving priestess: Liadan points the device at the ground.
fumods: (weaker
redeemedwayward: Touya looks up to see if it can fly.
fumods: (IT CAN FLY!
redeemedwayward: "OI" points out the imp to the others.
fumods: (Hey look, there's a white thing with wings fluttering around slightly slower than a humming bird slightly blow roof level of the theatre
roving priestess: "How are we going to get up there?" Frowns.
fumods: (at least a good 30'/10 meters up)
thisfoldedheart: He attempts to whistle at it, though he isn't good at whistling... at all.
fumods: (You catch it's attention for a split second as it chirps at you.
redeemedwayward: Looks at Ty thoughtfully and then nudges Tsurugi to translate. "...Can you throw a person and then catch them?"
metallicseraph: Frowning again Ty glances up. "Only one way I can think of." Pauses glancing around before sitting on the ground. "Who wants to fly? and who wants to cover me?"
cheshiresprat: [[Locke looks for a way up to the roof from the outside]]
thisfoldedheart: "Hey!" He's waving at the imp.
thisfoldedheart: He turns to Ty at Touya's request, translating for him.
roving priestess: Liadan looks really uncertain. "I'll... cover you?"
fumods: (It darts around curiously, looking down on them, chirping again, lowers to about 25'/9 meters
metallicseraph: Laughs softly. "Sounds like we're on the same page."
thisfoldedheart: He whistles at it again, jumping up and down a little like an excited kid.
redeemedwayward: "I furai," says to Ty, looking at her expectantly because he doesn't know how this is going to work and readying his net. Frowning. "You better catch."
fumods: (It chirps and twirls in the air...
fumods: (Suddenly Tsurugi gets a gallon of water dumped on your head out of thin air... You think if it could be laughing at you, it would.
fumods: (Locke the buildings aren't close enough to shimmy up, so the only way up that high is through the buildings
thisfoldedheart: "Aaaaaaah!" Water is still dripping off him as he looks up, shaking his fist at the imp. "YOU!"
fumods: (It chirps happily and does a flip in the air
thisfoldedheart: "Catch it. I don't care if you squash it flat." To Touya, with a scowl.
roving priestess: Liadan pulls out a handkerchief from her satchel and taps on Tsurugi's shoulder to give it to him.
metallicseraph: Nods. "Don't worry, I won't let you fall and bruise your ego." Half amused smile. Takes in a deep breath before shifting, cups hands for Touya to put a foot in.
redeemedwayward: Touya nods at Tsurugi and then looks expectantly at Ty before putting his foot in her hands.
metallicseraph: Throws him up!
thisfoldedheart: Tsurugi thanks Liadan, taking the handkerchief gingerly and barely using it to dab at his face before he hands it back.
fumods: (Not even close it like... flies circles around your net.
cheshiresprat: [[when does Locke reach the roof?]]
metallicseraph: WIll catch Touya with a grunt. "Again?" Glances back to Tsurugi. "Or do you wanna air dry?... Maybe you'd have better luck, it seems to like you."
fumods: (You have to get through 4 locks)
thisfoldedheart: "It gave me a shower." Sullenly, but he glares up at the imp, trying to concentrate hard enough to send it a simple thought. Food. Here.
redeemedwayward: "She wants to throw you," Touya says, looking at him curiously.
thisfoldedheart: He doesn't reply, still trying to get the imp's attention again.
fumods: (You catch it's attention again, once more it seems interested in you and is fluttering about and chirping at you.
thisfoldedheart: His eyes brighten and he doesn't move from where he's standing, sending more brief, simple thoughts at it. Food. Down. Here!
metallicseraph: "Looks like you get another flying lesson." Nods to Touya, cupping hands for his foot again.
redeemedwayward: Readies himself before putting his foot back in Ty's hand, more used to how to use the net this time.
fumods: (You get it in your net as it was paying too much attention to Tsurugi to flutter away this time!
metallicseraph: Darts in to catch him again!
fumods: (And you're on the roof Locke!
redeemedwayward: Grunts, keeping a tight hold on the net so it can't get away.
roving priestess: Liadan cheers a bit.
cheshiresprat: Locke slinks over to the roof's edge only to find Touya with his prize in a net. Oh for the love of...
fumods: (It struggles, squirms and wriggles, it's a fiesty little bugger
thisfoldedheart: He looks happy too, sticking his tongue out at the creature in the net.
redeemedwayward: Wonders if he can knock it out as he holds the net closed as tight as he can.
cheshiresprat: Locke surveys the area then focuses on the group, paying special attention to who has a net
fumods: (They do all have one, there were nets for everyone just only one detector.
metallicseraph: (Ty's net is leaning against a tree
metallicseraph: (She has like a large butterfly net
cheshiresprat: [[Locke will make his way down (hopefully faster now0 and try to nab an unmanned net when an opportunity presents itself.]]
roving priestess: "One down~." Chirps cheerfully.
thisfoldedheart: Grins at Liadan, hair still dripping from the earlier prank. "It moves fast, but its mind is too simple."
metallicseraph: Looks over at them. "I wonder what else these little guys can do."
roving priestess: "You helped?" Since she hadn't heard him do anything. "How do you know about his mind?"
thisfoldedheart: "I called to him" he replies, expression sly.
metallicseraph: Looks confused. "Called to him?" Pauses. "I didn't hear any--oooh." Taps her head. "You're up here?"
roving priestess: Beams at him. "That's so neat! Can you do that for everyone?"
redeemedwayward: Listening carefully, but not saying anything for a bit.
thisfoldedheart: He tilts his head, glancing at both Liadan and Ty. "Up here." Tapping his own head to emphasize.
thisfoldedheart: "And not for anyone." To Liadan, with a soft smile.
roving priestess: "...Not for anyone?" Confused, but she smiles back as well.
metallicseraph: Nods. "Good to know." Pauses before waving a hand. "Think maybe we should get onto little fuzzball number two?"
thisfoldedheart: "Not for humans."
roving priestess: "Ah," Liadan nods, smiling. "That's still really neat though." To Ty. "Let's go!" Looks down at the detector again, trying to point it in different directions fora clue.
fumods: (There's currently no signal in this area.
roving priestess: Liadan starts moving in the direction of the health and fitness center, still looking for signals.
metallicseraph: Ty shifts out of being metal and will head where ever.
fumods: (You unfortunately get no signal the whole way out there.
cheshiresprat: [[Locke keeps ahead of the group now, off to the side, waiting for them to realize what's missing]]
roving priestess: Sighs. "Someone pick a direction for us to go?"
cheshiresprat: Locke pulls out a small box cutter from his satchel and crouches low
thisfoldedheart: "Towards the pond." Tsurugi suggests.
metallicseraph: "Really only two other directions, towards the freshmen or towards... yup, the pond."
redeemedwayward: Still holding the captured one, holding it in both arms because it's squirming so much.
roving priestess: "To the pond then!" Starts heading that way.
