Eliots eyes fluttered open. But they where rather blank looking. "It's dark. I can't see where I'm going. It smells really awful. It hurts to breath in." For a moment it looked as if she might come back, as she had glanced at Roarke, "I don't know you." She said. "Acadamy? No... not an acadamy... I'm in... someplace new... it's colder here. Men in coats. Dadyy tells me just to staire ahead, and keep waling." Her eyes closed and her head fell backwards.
She couldn't see a thing, and then suddenly there was light, and she was in an open space, a ledge, that... she hadn't been there before, but she knew the place, and somethign clikced into her mind that Roarke had been talking to her.
She woke up suddenly and clashed her head severly into Roark's. "Ow!" She rubbed her head. " I just had the oddest dream..." She looked around... why was she still in the green house?

Malik nodded to Piper, and watched Eliot.
"Men in white coats. like the oen who gave my delivery. well we'll find out soon enough. Get some rest, Eliot. and Roarke, how long before those security measures get to teh Fortress?"
Onyx landed, and looked at the big steel box.
"Wasn't me. and whatever is in there is alive. I wouldn't armoer anything that was alive."
And then he saw Whirlwind, and gave her a happy smile, though of course he didn't really feel happy. or anything for that matter.
"Hey Whirlwind, what brings you out here? Miss me?"

Roarke's forhead suddenly hurt alot. Alot alot. Ouch. He rubbed at the goose egg. One ye closed agianst the pain, Roarke smiled weakly. "You were hilucinating, Eliot. You're back with us now." He leaned back slightly. "At elast I hope you are, I don't want to take beating like that again." He looked up to Malik. "Safe trip home. I'll have what you ordered at the fortress in a few hours, it won't take long to replicate those items." He pointed to the coq dragons. "I will bring these two as well, since I do beleive you two are traveling via your unique steeds."
Moonstone peered inside the box. "He's wearing one of Malik's collars. Maybe it's just a new...shipment or something." He turned around, saw Aella, and felt adrenalin hit his stomach. His tail curled.
Aella blushed a bit, and she looked downward. Thank goodness she had changed clothes, she would have felt...vulnerable now if she hadn't. "Hello, Onyx." She dug a toe into the ground. "A little bit. I suppose, since I promissed that I would visit..." She shrugged.
Warren ran his fingers once again over the stone carving. It felt angry, the stone, like it wanted to lash out and strike him down, but it's natural earthy bonds held it in check. If Warren stared long enough, he could see the figures carved there writhing in pain, screaming at him, calling to him. What? What did they want? What was this structure with six sides? He had walked around it time and time again, but it did not resemble anything that he could place his finger on. And yet he felt like he should know. He turned around a corner, not really paying attention to where he was going. He was the only one who knew about this place. He thought he saw someone though...turning around the corner in front of him. Being naturally curious, he followed.
Warren ran his fingers once again over the stone carving. It felt angry, the stone, like it wanted to lash out and strike him down, but it's natural earthy bonds...

A bony hand affectionatly petted the blond wizzard's head, as the skinny, sickly half elf hung by his wrists. Metal shackles, rusted with age, held Warren against a wall, toes just barely touching the floor. "That's a good boy, oh yes. You just keep thinking that thought." He grabbed the boys chin, thrust it backward, opening the boys throat and smashing his skull against the wall. He tipped a vial of that silvery liquid so that it emptied itself into Warren's mouth. The only thing that kept him alive. "Oh yes."

"It's great to see you, Whirlwind. but I think me and you need to have a private chat about something."
A glance a moonstone, and if there was humor left, he'd have laughed. he knew that look, very well. he'd worn it the first time he'd seen her too. the Ogre guards were silent, but Whirlwind was a known guest, and moon and onyx were resident guests. and they knew better than the touch a guest. either that, or they were more concerned with the big metal crate than the other three.
"woudl you like to come inside and maybe grab something to eat fast and we can talk?"
A glance at Moon.
"perferably in private?"
Malik nodded, and got himself up, offering his hand.
"Well then I'll be looking forward to your visit then. and if you can, I might need some of your expertie on positioning and placing of these new measures."
Then a look to Piper, and a nod to Eliot.
"Now..what is the fastest way out of here?"

Moonstone smiled evily, because he knew it would inspire annoyed thoughts, if not feelings. He walked close to Aella, purring, leting his tail slide against her thigh. Why? Because it felt good to throw it in his brother's face, just like Onyx had done with Piper. That's why. He glanced back on his way into the house. "Don't let me interfere, brother." And then he went inside.
Aella blushed deeply and stepped back from the tails touch. She was not yet ready for touching...
But she looked to Onyx, concern on face evident. Frightened? Yes. Curios? indeed. The prospect of doing anything in private had her heart pumping, but she suppressed the urge to run, and nodded. "Of course Onyx." SHe put a hand to her stomach. "I didn't eat before leaving home."
Roarke stood, shook the drow's hand. "I wouldn't leave until I knew they were installed properly." He smiled. "It's been a pleasure." Then he pointed south. "Straight. No twists or turns, and you'll find yourself in the front foyer. You can always ask a student if you are unsure."

Annoyed? a little. concerned? some. of course neither of them really knew if Moonstone had inherited his particular emotions for cetain people or things either. he motioned for Whirlwind to go on in first, and lead her to the kitchen for somethign to eat. once she'd gotten something, he led her upstairs to the room he nad moonstone shared.
"Please have a seat."
Malik nodded.
"Good. alright Piper, lets go home and tell you father all about everything we did today."
A slight grin, and he headed south, as he was told, towards the main foyer, and piper behind him, casual talking about the greenhouse, since of course Piper was interested in it and how to make it and why they should get one.

Whirlwinf smiled a bit, and went inside. She grabbed a bit of bread, cheese, and an apple. Nothing mutch. She wanted to be little hungry when she went back home...the Oracle could cook after all.
She sat down on the bed, knees tight together, toes propped up on the floor. "Seated." She tore off a chunk of bread. "What is it that you wanted to talk aobut?"

"Me and you."
And before she got the wrong idea. he went ahead.
"My parents, are a Vah, and a though mystical means, a half vah, half conduit. now conduits, normally, have no heart, just a hole, clean through that leaks black gooey stuff that causes the worst things to happen that can usually. Bode, if you've met her, is a conduit. becuase a conduit has no heart, they don't feel anything emotionally. at all. no fear, no joy, no pain, no pleasure, no hate, no love."
He paused a moment to let that sink in.
"I inherited my rather weak demonic power from my mother. until recently I though that this was the only trait either of us inherited. well..moon inherited her inability to feel emotion."
Another pause.
"We got into an arguement...and some how or another we..switched emotional states. now moonstone feels, and I don't. which means..what you were worried about isn't a problem anymore, so to speak."

Aella leaned back a bit, not fully understanding, and had lost her appitite. She set aside the bread, folded her hands in he lap. "No..heart..."
She didn't really know what to say to that. "So that's why Moonstone looked at me...and you didn't..." She was confused. Was she hurt that Onyx felt nothing for her now? She was not sure. Isn't that what she wanted in the first place? It felt like s selfish wish had come true. She wanted a friend...but friends are supposed to care for you, aren't they?
"This girl, Bode, does she feel emotion? She doesn't have a heart either right? She...gets by okay?"

A smile.
"Yes, she does. Our mother..and our father..there was a ceremony he performed. a bonding of sorts. between him, her, and a close friend. this bonding shared traits between them. it's how she became half vah. it also gave her a heart, that let her feel."
a small grin.
"I'm not as bad off as moon. I still remember feelings, adn can evoke them from memory. But...he doesn't want to give them up, and I don't know how to get them back for just myself. I'm still your friend, and I'll still keep my word to you. but you don't have to worry about me well...having that other attraction for now. I thought it might help you."

"oh, I see. Can you preform this ceremony too? Are there special...reqirments?"
Well, she had been hoping that the attraction would help her get over her little problem of physical interaction. She didn't tihnk it would work quite the same if Onyx couldn't feel anything. She kicked her feet a bit.
"Well then, friend, what are we going to do now?" She had prepared herself for an awkward, scarry evening, with possible break downs, and maybe even a run away...she hadn't been expecting anything like this.

"It's a..special thing. if we were to do it, we woudl share pain, and you..um...might get some...additions to your anatomy. mom grew a tail, and her eye teeth got sharper..and I think her ears got a tad bit more pointed and catlike."
A slight grin.
"Well. we could do whatever we want..oh and you coudl seduce moon...or...we can try and talk moon into giving my emotion back. so then I can flirt and be awkward and make you feel funny and you can slap me?"
Hey at least he coudl still make a joke.

She didn't think then, that anything would happen to her ears, they were already pointed. But she didn't really want a tail...but then again she didn't think she was all that special enough for this type of thing anyway.
Seduce Moon...she shook her head violently at that, no sir, here eyes wide open in fright. But she tried to smile at the joke. Where once she might have slugged him quite throughly for making her feel...funny, now it might just scare her. Killing Dimitri had done some odd things with her mind.
"I don't think I would put.." she had to force the word out..."seducing your brother on my fun list." She but her hands to either side of her on the bed, the staff leaning against her. "Do you want to try to convince him to give it back?"

Walking outside with Malik she casually walked over to Nightmare, petting over hre a moment before she turned from the creature, sticking two fingers in her mouth and whistling for Serino...he'd be rested by now hopefully. Of course a breath of wind gave her her answer as the horse did indeed reappear as he was called, shaking his head and looking happy as ever. And of course he got his fair share of pets from Piper as she then pulled herself up on him. A brush of her hand through Serino's mane as she gave a look to Malik. "So, the long way home or the short way home?"

Eliot rubber her head as well. "Sorry." She stood up rather woodenly "I think I may need to talk to my father. That all seemed very real." She looked down to see her matted tail, she sighed heavily and started to comeout the knots with her fingers. "please don't ask me to do that again, i did not like it one bit!"
