Sage looks to irianna, then nods a few times.
" of course they're fond of pancakes...what do you think I did with all the times I failed? I fed them to the squirrels....granted...they seem to now have a taste for the things...this is good cadiovascular exercise though. perhaps I'll begin taunting the squirrels with pancake armor as a means of exercise."

Iri shakes her head and turns to look over the side of the dojo at the squirrels. The furry brown mass is still chowing down. This time the young woman laughs as she shakes her head. What an interesting character. I would be embarassed if I let myself get chased up the side of a building by rodents. He must have a great sense of humor.
"Well, whatever floats your boat. Personally, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that happen. I didn't know squirrels gathered in such large numbers." Irianna tilts her head and asks, "How long have you been keeping up that pancake suit, anyway? If you don't mind me asking."

Sage's face looks blank for a few moments as he hears her question. He then begins counting on his fingers for a few moments. After which he says, " A while...I'm not really sure. I generally don't keep track of time unless I absolutely have to. I have changed out the pancake suit a few times through...hmm, maybe I should try making more than one layer? perhaps with enough practice even turn the pancakes into a large suit...like a golem that your ride in..."

Irianna looks up at the sky, imagining Sage in a pancake golem. The image is very amusing. Then she looks back down at the man and says, "Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't sound like very good armor. At best, it would distract or confuse an enemy long enough for you to make a quick first strike. Or does your chakra re-enforce the pancakes?"

Sage pondered for a bit, " no...I would probably coak it in a covering of flexible ectoplasm...or maybe glue it together by doing that...hmm...perhaps even just use ectoplasm alone to do it...yes...that would probably work better than pancakes. "

Ectoplasm?
The young woman crouches next to Sage, wings spread and fingers splayed on the ground for balance. Red hair falls around her slim frame in a gossamer curtain. Her head is tilted to one side in the manner of a curious bird. "I'm afraid I might be annoying you with all these questions, but what on earth is ectoplasm? The term sounds familiar, but I don't know where I would have heard it."

Sage grinned, and replied, " not what on earth...more of...what's around and existing in the same space. Ectoplasm is what ghosts are made of...but it's more than that, in it's base, non ghost infested state, it can be shaped into many things. There are different forms of it. The Base state is liquid like, sticky, slimey, and bluish see through. The ghost inhabited state is...well...you've seen ghosts, right? and then there are the shaped states. Now...I'm not a ninja, but I am learning ninja arts. I'm a Sagehirn..a healer who uses the power of the mind. Amoung the powers of the mind are summoning, shaping, and controlling ectoplasm. For example..."
Sage claps his hands together, then slowly pulls them apart. As he draws his hands apart, he focuses his mind. To those that can see the supernatural, it would appear as if he opens a small portal on his forehead, and draws out strands of ectoplasm, weaving them into the goo that forms between his hands. To 'normal' people, it would look as if strands of bluish goo simply appear between his hands.

The young woman widens her violet eyes in fascination. She only sees the blue goo between Sage's hand, but that and the man's explanation of the substance is enough to grab her attention.
"Ectoplasm, huh? Well, isn't that something else." She smiles and says, "Sorry if I'm getting on your nerves or something, but I'm a naturally curious person, and I keep learning new things from you. This ectoplasm stuff is especially interesting."

Sage chuckles, " why would it bother me? inquisitive minds are what makes civilization work. without them, it would stagnate and only wind up running itself into the ground. However...I must say I'm sorry, I wouldn't be able to teach you how to do this...it takes years just to learn the basics...and I don't even have the right to teach yet. I'm only at journeyman rank with my mental arts...even lower with ninja arts."

Iri shakes her head and says, "Nah, I wasn't asking you to teach me anything about ectoplasm. I'm having enough trouble with the ninja arts as it is." She laughs and says, "It took me a whole day of practice just to get a sheet of paper to stick to my hand with the force of my chakra."
The winged woman sighs and rocks back on her heels, casting a glance at the sky again. The outspread wings twitch a little. It's been a while since the young woman took a long flight. She can almost hear the air calling to her. Maybe she'll take a flight over the forests surrounding the GNA in the next few days...
Moments later, she snaps back to reality and mutters, "If I'm going to get anywhere as a kunoichi, I had better start learning some more useful techniques." She gets to her feet and says, "Nice speaking to you again. And good luck with your golem idea. Sounds...interesting."

Sage nods, " have a nice one...and if you need more techniques...try coming up with one. It's always more fun to try something and have it work than it is to learn something from someone else. That way you can be sure that it's all yours."
As he speaks, Sage weaves the ectoplasmic strands in his hands into a small flower. He then blows over it, and the ectoplasm solidifies into a crystal. After which, he stands, and holds the flower out, " here, if you ever need help, Run chakra through the flower. this will cause it to melt. you can then use the melted ectoplasm as a lubricant to escape ropes."

Iri accepts the flower, cradling it gently in her palm. She smiles again and performs a small, polite bow. "Thank you, Sage. I appreciate it."
The young woman walks to the edge of the dojo, wings spreading wider than ever. With her free hand, she gives Sage a parting wave, saying as she does, "I really owe you. Remind me of that any time there's something I can do for you." And Irianna leaps off the side of the building, winging her way into the sky.

Sage nods a bit, making a mental note. He then leans back, and lays down on the roof of the dojo. Soon afterwards, he's napping.

Reeve returns to the main gate of the Academy, having left in the night some months ago. He looks quite sane, a far cry from his last appearance.
"Hello?"
