Diehard_Dreamer A smile formed upon Catherine's face as she dug deep into the soil, pulling out a herb and placing it where Kani placed hers. "Well actually... I didn't live here until a few years ago. I moved to Durem to get away from my family... " She pushed her glasses with her the back of her wrist. " In their eyes I'm not very talented and was considered the family black sheep." She shrugged digging again. "I can only conjure bubble charms, sheilds, and ghost touch... and to my nana and teacher that's a big accomplishment, but to my family it's a waste." She dug deeper into the ground. " Briar can cast a fireball all you make is bubbles blah blah blah..." She sighed quietly. " I know I'm not useless, and it's a feat to do it without any sort of foci, but sometimes it doesn't seem enough to my mother and father." She stared at the herb in her hands. " .. I'm sorry I shouldn't be complaining like this." she laughed a bit, placing more into the basket. " I get kinda worked up when I talk about myself... " Catherine shrugged a bit.Aphrodite bounced again off the shield, finally sitting down after the thrid time. rubbing her forehead she decided to take her mother's word's into consideration. Maybe she wasn't being fair when her siblings were napping... but they were in her room! That wasn't fair... but they were tired and they're still babies... She sighed. "Mama.. I'm sorry I yelled when Nari and Gari were sleeping. It wasn't nice of me." She then looked at the strange bat baby and waved at him.Catherine merely smiled at Aphrodite. "Well if that's true then you can leave the basket."

"Well sometimes some spells require loads of thought, and sometimes just that. You have to picture a bubble forming arounds what you want top protect and from there you have to imagine that nothing.. and I mean nothing can break it." She grinned a bit, glad to off the subject of her parentage.
"Woah!" She squeeked as she was knocked out of the basket, apparently she did feel sorry. Tumbling out of the basket and into the dirt, she landed on her behind. "What was that for?" She asked the very curious Aladon.

Jizzy Jazz "He's quiet most of the time now. Since I got the fire, but I dunno. He just sorta chimes in from time to time." He siad, picking up a blade of grass along with his rock. He tossed the rock, btu kept the blade. Turning it to ash in a spark. "I think the fire keeps him back.."
"Just a few more days, 2 or 3." She said, very pleased with this. "I'm going to go running or soemthing as soon as the bandages come off!"
"Any plans for Christmas, Jizzy?" she asked, head tilted slightly towards Jizzy and looking at her through the corner of her eyes.
Rex stared at the charred blade of grass with admiration, then to Deimos. Subject change, subject change.
A light bulb went off in his head just now, as something Maggie said during his appointment with her came into his mind just then. "Maggie said the HQ's gonna get an expansion, wanna go explore the place then?"

Jizzy nodded, looking up as well. "Oh Christmas, I'm not sure.. I may just give out gifts, I've been trying to think what to get everyone. What would you like for the holidays?" She asked, turnign to Silencer.
Deimos hadn't heard this news so he smiled, exited. "Heck yes. We have to see everythign there is to see, find all the best hiding palces, all the best palces to bury treasure and so on!" He said, smiling broadly. "I've got to 'splore. It's what pirates do."

"Sounds awesome. Mind if I join your crew?" Rex asked, grinning happily. If pirates much exploring, he'd want to be one too.
"Mm, I dunno..." Silencer pondered on what she would like, and, to her surprise found none. Laughing suddenly, she added, "Would you believe it, I can't think of anything! I've all I want, I think. At least for now."
Smiling, she turned to Jizzy. " How about you?"

Demos grinned at the prospect of having somoen as large as Rex on his crew and he nodded. "Course, but you gots to call me Captain Dei when we're pirating, k?" he said.
"All I'd like is to spend Christmas with firends and without being in any sort of pain, mortal danger, under a curse or on crutches. If I can have a nice peaceful Christmas, I'll be a happy girl." She said, knowing this was a bit to much to ask. Oh how the power-that-be loathed her.

"Aw.. that's nice." Silencer smiled at Jizzy. "Well, I'm sure you'll..."
Before Silencer could finish her sentence however, an avian of yellow, white and rust red plumage fluttered in and perched on her shoulder. The bird of paradise nuzzled affectionately against the girl's cheek, before nodding a greeting to Jizzy.
There you are. I've been wondering what's been taking you so long out here with Rex. And hello, who is this? The crow-sized bird asked Silencer in thought speech, preening its luxurious feathers. Hopping down onto her leg, it added, Do introduce her to me, will you?
"Uh." Silencer blinked down at the bird, suddenly at a loss for words. As it pressed on for an introduction, she shook her head, and shifted in her seat so both human and bird were facing Jizzy.
"Um. This is Jizzy," Silencer began, "Jizzy, meet Leyrandia. She's my... uh... angel. And Rex's teacher. We just call her Andi."
"Aye, Capt'n!" Rex grinned broadly at Deimos, and caught sight of Andi on the bench behind the captain. The boy quickly snapped around and turned his back towards the guardians and angel, pretending not to know of her presence.

An angel, wow. She nodded a greeting smiling. "Pleasure to meet you, Leyrandia." She said, beaming, then turning back to Silencer. "You're very lucky to have found Rex a teacher. Deimos is rather.. rowdy. I doubt many teachers could handle him."
Deimoss looked back as Rex turned. "Whats with the wierdo bird?' he asked. it was much to colorful. He suddenly wondered hyow it'd taste roasted.

Leyrandia nodded back fluffing out her flowing tail plumage. Pleasure's all mine. Presently the bird of paradise hopped onto Jizzy's shoulder, and peered around with her beady eyes for signs of her pupil.
Ah, there he is It wasn't hard, really, to spot a large, overgrown kid in the... empty, kinda place. Spreading her wings, Andi launched herself of Jizzy and glided towards the two kids near the fountain.
"I had someone else in mind, actually. Andi just volunteered to, so there she is." Silencer smiled, shrugging slightly. She turned her head towards Rex and Deimos, and chuckled. "Rex doesn't really like her, unfortunately. Said her teaching's downright boring, and her magic's too soft."
Leaning her head on her hand, she continued. "Andi's a perfectionist, so she's very particular about Rex's work."
"So Deimos is still without a teacher?" Silencer asked, peering up at Jizzy. "You're teaching him full time then?"
"She's my teacher. And a bore." Rex grumbled, then stiffened Leyrandia swooped by and perched herself on the fountain edge.
Hello, little ones!

"For now.. I'm it. I used to teach magic, but I've forggoteen most of it. I was never really good at any other subjects, so I can't help much. I almost got him a teacher once, but Dei set fire to something in the other room and he jsut sort of left while I was putting it out. Can't blame him.." She said, looking over at the kids.
Deimos looked at the small bird by the fountain and one of his eyebrow wings arched. "This? Is your teacher?" He said shocked. He should have known better, I mean, Bax was going to teach him too as soon as he decided to tell Mother, but still. He found it odd. "Is she any good at magic?" Deimos asked. This bird must have SOME strengths.

A loud snapping and breaking sound could heard coming from within the walls, ceilling and floor. The whole structure started to tremble and change, taking a new, bigger and more elaborate form
It didn't take long before it stoped, but nothing was in the same place anymore
The once 'small' green area had now turned into a huge place
To the north a huge sea-like lake covered most of the landscape, with a set of islands floating in the distance
To the east a higly ridged mountain rose from the ground, with a luxuriant forest growing at its feet. A small road was barely visible, going all the way up and then disapearing to the other side
To the west and south the once forbidden woods were now a large dark forest. And between it, the lake and the river stood a complex of buildings that were the newly formed farm
And the inside the HQ had also suffered a drastic change. It was now much bigger and taller than before, despite of the 2nd an3rd floor fusing together
On the first floor a whole new area had been added on the east side, dedicated to the instruction of the Mishaps
The older blue, red and yellow areas had also changed. New rooms were added and the older ones were wider than before
The Mishaps rooms were now placed in a new disposition, all of in one single floor now. They too had expanded, giving the guardians and their children a much wider space to live in
Also a new magic was given to them, allowing the rooms to be chaged directly by the guardians whenever they needed
And as for the 3rd floor, the attic had lowered and merged with it, while the minishop inflated its space. Also a semi-natural pond and luxuriant vegetation covered the rest of the now soil covered floor

"Only healings and stuff, so far. Mom suspects she knows more, but she's definitely not showing 'em, that's for sure." Rex explained, eyeing the bird warily. "She's an angel, or so Mom says." This the boy said with a level of disbelief. I mean, what kind of an angel chirp, hop and do all things bird?
"I want Uncle Gryff to teach me, he's definitely much better," Rex continued, pouting a little. "He's so--
Just then, a huge 'earthquake' shook the entire floor(or land, if they'd looked outside), cutting Rex off in mid sentence. As soon as it started, however, the quake stopped, leaving the both mishap and guardian stiff with fright. That feeling, however, disappeared as soon as their brain registered the change that had just befallen the whole of Floor 3.
"Okay, that. Was frightful. And weird." Looking around her, Silencer's eyes widened in surprise, disbelief and probably a touch of something else. The girl simply stared at the HUGE place, speechless while Andi, who had fluttered back to perch on Silencer's head, fluffed her feathers in indifference.
King, who had been dreaming of flying t-bones and huge chunks of steak had been rudely jerked awake by the tremor, and was non too pleased with it. Taking a deep breath, he snapped open his jaws and let out a loud roar of displease and disapproval. What came back to his ears, however, caught him of guard. Instead of a loud rebound from the walls, his voice sounded... small.
''Ey, what's with the ruckus?' Came a voice in everyone's head as a quadruped figure stepped out from the stairs, ears flattened against his skull.
"Uncle Gryff!"

Deimos shook a little at the tremor, stiffening but he looked around at the changes. Not bad, not bad at all. He qrinkled his nose at Rex's words. "You should see Bax. Bax is gonne teach me. He's strong enough t0 beat me in a fight." Deimose explained. Hey eyebrow wings drooped as King roared, but he looked over at the gryphon. Now he.. He looked impressive.
Jizzy clung to the bench as everything changed, sighing as it ended with a start. "You can say that again..." She said sighing, looking over as a voice echoed in her mind.

Silencer was about to repeated the sentence again just for the fun of it, when she saw Gryffenc with the kids. She snapped up in her seat and waved towards the gryphon. "Hi! How'd you get in here?"
'Well, I thought I heard someone calling my name. When I arrived everything went chaotic, then I was thrown downstairs. Why? Aren't you happy to see me? The gryphon grinned over at Silencer, then winked at Jizzy.
Gryffenc padded towards the two mishaps. He looked Deimos over, and nodded approvingly. 'You must be Deimos? I see great potential in you, though... you'll have to learn to control your temper, or you'll never be able to harness your full potential.'
'And now, my dino child. Did you call me? I thought I heard your voice...'
"No call, but I mentioned your name. I think." Did he? But anyway, Rex beamed up at Gryffenc. It was clear that the boy adored the gryphon, and he was ever so pleased for him to be there.
'Ah. So that's why.'

Jizzy arched an eyebrow at the wink, but smilled and waved a hello all the same.
Deimos's eyebrow wings gave a short flutter as the gryphon spoke to him. "How'd you know these things?' He asked, not really convinced with this Uncle Gryff. He looked just like an oversized bird up close.
