Yali look over the drawing before she bites her bottom lip. She knew she could pick almost anything. Shaking her head she nods slightly "I want her to have the ability to use her voice to control her victim. By controlling she'll be able to attack them." rubbing her chin she falls quiet for a moment thinking over her choice.

"By being able to control that would be a tremendous strength." looking at the twins she smiles "I have a way to go, but that would work wouldn't it?" this was going to be fun. By combining their three minds she was hoping to come up with a great golem.

Aureus nodded, agreeing, "That would be a tremendous strength and she wouldn't have to attack them in person if she has them spellbound. They could attack themselves or others, reducing the need to endanger her."

"That's right. And with the ability to control, she could also act defensively in stopping an opponent just before a strike or turning it sideways." He paused, biting the end of his index finger as he thought, "Although that would make her an excellent area fighter, anything deaf or out of hearing ranger would be immune... Which could spell her demise. But you want her fly, right? That could make a really good defensive stance for her, but limit the range of her control I think. You'll have to decide the trade-offs between strength, range, and power."

Yalitza thought over what Argentum had to say, he was right. By making her voice her weapon it would be weak if she came across a creature that couldn't hear her. Biting her bottom lip she though over the flying for a moment.

Everything had its weakness, the only way to overcome it was to not allow it to be know. Chuckling she looks between them "Flight will be her defense, I'm just gonna have to make that strong as well. I think with pratice her voice could become stronger allowing her range to grow. But for now I'll trade the range in." looking at her drawing she nods alittle.

She hope she was doing the right thing. With a Siren, they had the alluring beauty, as well as the voice. She would just have to make a good plan.

They nodded, "You'll have to trade in something."

"Her voice will be a powerful tool, useful in many ways." He smiled, "And if she's flying then only ranged combat will be truly effective against her unless your opponent is capable of flight." He gestured to himself and Aureus, "So you'll have to learn to fight in three dimensions as well if you plan on using her as a more offensive golem. But so far so good, I think."

Aureus nodded, "Many opportunities arise if the skies or seas open up to you. Not only can you fight on a front and back, side to side basis, you have to remember up and down as well. Your Siren will be very powerful in her sphere of influence." He chuckled, "Not something I'd want to get on the bad side of anyways... Does she have a name yet? I don't recall you telling us."

Argentum nodded, wanting to know as well, "A name is an important factor as well. You'll want to decide on something that reflects your golem well."

Yalitza agree with everything they both said. Looking down at her paper she wrote everything down just so she knew what she had to focus on. She wanted her golem to be one of the best in her eyes. Looking her notes over she look back up at them both frowning.

She had completely forgotten a name, in class she just called it Harpy. But the more she thought about it, the more she didn't like the name. Sighing she look down over her notes, she needed something that related to her golem. Afterall to have a name that made no sense wouldn't be good at all.

Lifting her finger she rub the brim of her nose lost in thought. What names would be close to a siren? Thinking for another moment she looks up at them both "What about Calliope or Musa?"
PostPosted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 9:57 pm


((Continue Rp over MSN))


The twins listened, mulling over the names thoughtfully. They spoke at the same time, "Musa sounds good!"

"Definitely has a nice ring to it." Aureus nodded, smiling.

Yalitza smiles as she looks down at her drawing. They were both right, it did have a nice ring to it. Looking between them she chuckles as she nods "Musa it is then." she was thrilled that this was coming together. At the rate it was going she would be able to get her drawing into the Professora and reserve a shard or her choice.

Argentum smiled, "It's a fitting name. Not too aggressive or passive. Makes me think she'll be a inspiration for you." He patted her shoulder as he spoke.

Aureus, on the other hand, was thinking, "You've got a name, powers, and a sketch. You're more or less finished, I think." He smiled, glancing from Yalitza to Argentum, "Can you think of anything else that might be needed?"

Yalitza looks over everything before she write the name in the upper corner of the paper. Looking her notes over she shakes her head "I don't think so. I believe we came up with everything to make my Golem a great fighter." looking back up them she was trying to hold in the excitement that was plain on her face.

They smiled, her excitement infectious. "You've a wonderful imagination. And your Golem's going to be gorgeous, I think. When you get her be sure to let us see, okay?" Aureus asked, beaming at her.

Argentum nodded his agreement, "Yes. But keep in mind your Golem needn't be just a fighter. They've other uses too." He smiled gently, thinking it a good point.

Yalitza arches a brow before tilting her head slightly. She knew they could be fighters, she figure that was what she would use Musa as. She hadn't really thought about her being anything else. Looking back down at the sketch she lifts her thumb to her mouth biting at the nail "Not only fighting? I never really thought about that."

Argentum nodded, "Her voice could be useful in taming monsters or adding a special touch to the choir, all sorts of non-violent applications."

Yalitza eyes widen before her face lit up, another thing she hadn't thought about. Musa was turning out to be far greater then she originally thought. Laughing she rubs her hands together "Okay I think I now understand. She is perfect, thank you so much you two." leaning over she kisses Aureus's cheek then Argentum's cheek. Without their help she would have just left it as is.

The laughed merrily, returning the kiss - one to either side of her face - and hugged her. "As long as you know there's more then one application to just about everything, little one."

Yalitza chuckles before she makes a face at them both "One day you two won't be able to call me little one. I'll be just like you two." looking between them both she looks down at her paper. She was determine as ever now to make up the classes she missed, just in order to catch up.

Aureus mussed up her hair, "Very true. You'll grow up beautiful, I'm sure." He smiled and leaned on his twin, who chuckled, nodding his agreement.

"Talented too." Argentum nodded, "It'll be quite the treat to see your skills develop."

Yalitza shakes her head then shrugs "Me beautiful, no way. I am average compare to all the other girls I have drawn. Each of them have something special about them, each one when I capture them on paper." pauses she flips to the picture of Aysel and Antigone "They seem to come alive." nodding she lays her hands in her lap "I'm just me, nothing special."

"Pffffffffttttttt" The sound is long drawn and disbelieving as Argentum shakes his head. "You are far from plain. Don't ever think otherwise."

Aureus smiled, reaching out to brush hair off her face, echoing Argentum's sentiments. "You're special - everyone's special. You have talent and view the world with an artist's eyes. That's something we envy. We're not that creative."

Yalitza's cheek darken before she looks down at her sketchbook "I guess so, now if only I could show that to everyone else." chuckling she wraps her arms around them both giving them both a squeeze "And we'll see as far as beauty."

They laughed, "Be yourself. That's all!"

"You've been yourself around us. It can't be that difficult, can it? We like you. Your fellows would be silly not to as well." Argentum smiled benignly. He took her hand squeezed.

"Just believe in yourself." Aureus nodded, finishing off his brother's remark.

Yalitza chuckles shaking her head "When I'm with you two, its simple. You both make me smile, and plus you seem to understand me. But the others, I don't know. I choke when I have to speak to anyone. Let alone if eyes are on me, then I just feel really embrassed." leaning back slightly she looks at her feet. "I guess its because I don't really know how to just say hi."

Argentum chuckled, "Hello! Usually works wonders." It was a gentle tease, not meant to hurt but to demonstrate the ease of doing such a thing.

Aureus laughed, pushing his brother, "Don't tease her."

"I'm not..." He puckered lips, though the glitter in his eyes didn't go away, "But saying hi is eay."

He nodded, but looked back to Yalitza, "True. However, should you want, we can take some time off from the infirmary to go with you somewhere if you'd like. Make it a little less awkward and hopefully help you make a few friends." He smiled, as Argentum shoved him back nodding as well.

Yalitza ducks slightly just to make sure she didn't get push. Laughing she shakes her head "I don't want you two to take some time off from the infirmary just for me. Beside right now I should be focusing on my classes. I really need to catch up. I have plently of time to make friends right?" even she knew she was making up excuses at this point.

They stopped and simply looked at her the same knowing look on each of their faces, "You should be. But there are students every where who would be willing to help you. And life isn't much with friends to share it with." They glanced at each other, sharing a look that was very obviously wordless communication.

They had spoken alternately, as though echoing one onther's thoughts.

Yalitza shakes her head then pokes them both in the side before she stood. Brushing her pants off she laughs "True life isn't much without friends. But I crave to know everything I can. To me friends are like a blank canvas. To paint the perfect picturem you have to have the right tools. I want to understand what going on around me, and what my classmates like before I jump in." turning away from them she shrugs "I want to be able to just walk up and jump in without feeling like a fool." chuckling she looks over her shoulder "Kindof how it happen with you two. If it weren't for me grabbing the law book. I wouldn't have known what to say."

They rose as well, expressions respectful and brotherly, "However you want to go about it."

Aureus pulled her against them and they squeezed her, tickling her sides, "Just don't get too wrapped up in learning so that you forget to make friends, okay?"

Yalitza laughs trying to smack at Aureus's hands playfully "I won't I promise. Once I believe I am catch up I will join in." wrapping her arms around Aureus she gives him a hug. Tilting her head slightly she looks toward Argentum smiling.

He nodded, rubbing her back as he hugged her, "That's good."

Argentum smiled, kneeling to look her in the eyes, "Just do what you feel is right. Okay?" He smiled and mussed up her hair before hugging her as well, turning it into a group embrace.

Yalitza giggles hugging them both close. She was glad to have them as friends, they made things alot of fun. Pulling back she push her hair back into place before she looks over at her clock. She didn't know it was that late, frowning she looks toward them "I hope I'm not keeping you two from anything important. i didn't know how late it was."

They glanced over at the clock at the same time and frowned, "Nope. But's late."

"If you want to catch-up, a good amount of sleep is the first step." Argentum stepped back, closely followed by Aureus.

The golden One nodded, "Which means it's best that we take our leave for the time being. You need your rest. Come find us if you need us, Yalitza."

His twin nodded, "Doesn't matter when. We're there for you. That's what friends are for, after all."

Yalitza nods then laughs "Alright I will. You two enjoy the rest of the day, and I will talk to you again soon?" tilting her head slightly she place her hands behind her back. She knew she wouldn't sleep just yet, she had a pictue in mind that she wanted to sketch first before she worried about bed.

"But of course, my dear." Though Aureus spoke, they bowed in unison. "You won't get rid of us that easily." They smiled and turned to go, hand in hand.

"Enjoy your night and rest well, Yali." Argentum called as they stepped out, flashing a charming smile.

Yalitza move toward the door watching for a moment "I will." closing the door carefully she shakes her head. Glancing toward her sketchbook, she runs over grabbing it before flopping down onto her bed. Flipping it to the next blank page she pulls her pencil from behind her ear sketching out what look like three bodies sitting on the ground.

As they walked away, they grinned at each other, "I like her."

"So do I. A great deal of potential. She's a wonderful addition to the city."

"I know. Maybe we should be on guard."

A laugh, "Maybe we should."

Free Period: Catching up on
Cooking Class
Starts on Page 21 - End on Page ??


Notes:
Different sorts of results possible from Alchemy:

-Potions - those which you need to drink to gain the effects
-Salves - those which need to be rubbed on to affect that area
-Powders - those which can be sprinkled on something or mixed in to something to have an effect

Some potions which take effect as soon as they are released from the vial or container in which they are stored. These are a little harder to use, and can take the form of any of the above mentioned.

There are required ingredients to each potion. The more required ingredients, the more complex the potion, and more difficult to make. Then there are the rest of the tools and supportive ingredients. Sometimes you can use alternatives if you haven't got the supportive ingredients. This is called Substitution.

Substitution can change the potency of the potion.

Advanced Alchemical practices require the involvement of many other studies, including Botany, Mathematics, Science and Crafting.

A few practices that can be used by many of the different studies to enhance the strength and effectiveness of a potion. These practices are called Styles.

-Juno Style - all ingredients are purchased from shops or other crafters or alchemists. Easiest, but makes the potion only half as potent
-Ceres Style - all of the required ingredients are personally grown. Takes more time, but doubles the damage done
-Pallas Style - the timing of creating the potion takes into account the celestial bodies, augmenting Aspects or Shapes or other spells or skills that will help to create the potion. Very difficult, but the potion can target a specific body-part or location into a 1 inch area without the extra expenditure of essence that an Empyrean would normally need to focus. Useful in duels
-Vesta Style - all of the implements that will be used to make the potion are crafted by hand, such as: Spoons, Mortars, Pestles, Athames etc. Time consuming, but the duration of the potion will be twice as long. Useful for spells which affect status changes like clearing confusion, boosting energy or this sort of thing
-Chiron Style - all implements are made by melting down previously used (by the maker) tools, such as brass snuffers and the like. All implements must be carefully cleaned so as not to contaminate the new potion. The most time-consuming and difficult method of preparation, but it causes twice the amount of antidote to remedy the effects of the potion.

Potions don't lose any effectiveness, making it very beneficial to prepare them before battle. All Style bonuses hold on any potion that is made. Therefore, you can purchase one made in the Vesta style from an Alchemist that specializes or uses that Style, but the cost will be much higher.

Potion making Styles can be combined. It is very difficult to do, however, as the potion becomes so potent in the making that it becomes quite volatile.

In order for something to count as one of the Styles, and therefore to take on the properties above mentioned, the entirety of the potion must be completed in that style.

Juno style requires all ingredients to be bought.
Ceres style requires that all plants be home grown. Mixing of styles like that is impossible.

Vesta style point where mixing is capable are things like having crafted all of the implements.

Chiron style then melting them down and reusing them.

As mentioned, that is a very dangerous and difficult thing to do: there is a build-up so much essence that if the maker is not completely perfect and exact in following all of the directions, the maker can create something quite deadly to any who use the Potion, and more often, to the one who makes it. Nobody but one has ever managed to mix more than three styles.

One person managed, but shortly died afterwards.

The styles can be used for anything that employs their principles.

Alchemy is a good example, because all of the styles can be applied to it.

Ceres style is important for Druidic magic.

Chiron style is useful in Crafting.

Philosophy Class
Pages 54 - 62


Notes:

Patron Saint - could be prayed to in times of need by those it protected for guidance, strength, health, or courage. Patron saints were generally a hereditary worship. Specific families or cities would have a God or Spirit they worshipped, and in return the God or Spirit could be called upon in times of trouble.

The strength and authority of any worshipped deity is directly proportionate to how intensely the worshipper's beliefs are held and how extensively they are worshipped.

Deities have skills and powers that Empyreans can never achieve on their own.

Faith in the Gods has no bearing on whether or not they will exist, merely the strength of the connection between you and your deity.

The Deity prescribes how it wishes to be worshipped. Some prefer tribute of wines or foods. Others prefer statuary made in their likeness, decked with jewels or fine fabrics. Some wish for prayer, and soft-spoken heart-felt words. Other require deeds and proofs of faith. Each deity has his or her rules and prescriptions.

As an Empyrean, you cannot shirk the blame to a deity, for our existence within the circle of Karma will find a way to punish your falsehoods. You worship, if you so choose. Every time you do, you build up good karma with the deity to whom give love, devotion, patience and respect. You can then call in favours, small ones for small showings of devotion, larger favours in times of dire need if you have been supportive for a long time. You may one day find yourself in peril. In times like those, you may call to heaven for help. If you have been good, and true, the gods may find pity or love enough to answer your need.

Almost everything in life follows a cyclic pattern. Examples: archaic weather systems, the flow of energy through the chakras, the cycle of oxygen and carbon dioxide in animals and plants.

Karma is also cyclic. It is impossible to live on this planet, breathe and move, and not impact something. Each choice made, each day lived making those choices, you influence the things around you, and the path you forge will perhaps allow you to encounter this person, or not, experiece this moment, or that.

Attempt to be conscious of how and where we impact other matter and beings in each choice we make, large or small.

Many types of Fortune Telling are merely high levels of understanding these pathways.

There are no coincidences.

When an Empyrean dies, a number of things can happen depending on the circumstances of the death. If attacked by an Outsider's weapons - like firearms and blunt-trauma weapons - the Empyrean falls and over time, usually about two weeks, their Additions begin to reverse and disappear and fade away.

This is their Essence leaving them. If attacked by the Outsider's Chemical weapons or a monster, the Empyreans Additions generally mutate and fall off the Empyrean immediately upon death.

Again, the Essence if forced to strip from the Empyrean. In both of these cases, if the dead Empyrean's body is left Outside, and not recovered, they will become a Monster. Depending on how they died influences what sort of Monster they will become.

The body must be returned to Empyrean City so that the Metatrons can touch the fallen Empyrean, release their soul and take that soul back into themselves. An Empyrean might be reborn, if their soul is given by the Metatron to a new husk, or an Empyrean might rest at peace with the other fallen of our alignment.

If the Empyrean who falls had a patron Deity to whom they prayed, their body does not lose its additions after two weeks, and never becomes a monster. These Empyreans are safely returned to the Metatron and saved from a worse fate.

Time around Yalitza seem to stand still, for this Phlegm locked herself in her dorm room months ago. Studying and drawing kept her from the contact of others as she put everyone she watched into her memory then onto the paper. Each expression, each movement it was all in her papers. Little notes of each person was written on the sides as she thought of something. Wondering if they acted like this, or if they would become this later on.

Finishing the last picture on her last page Yalitza sets her book down. It was of Yambati. The calm, serious Choleric she saw with Kallisto. He was one of the few she had very little pictures of, as she didn't see him often. When she did, she would watch him, just to see if he do something different. The newest was the Philosophy class, when he got up and left. The look on his face left her curious about who he was.

Closing her eyes, she leans back looking at her sketch book. She knew she had miss quite a bit of classes. How many she wasn't sure of, when she had these moments where all she wanted to do was draw. Not even class was important to her.

Standing she arches her back as she loosk around her room, it was covered in art supplies, paper, and paint. Shaking her head she chuckles as she picks up a drawing of a flower, one of the many she drew from the Garden.

"I should leave this room, see if everyone is still okay. Or at least allow everyone know I am alive." pushing her hair from her face she gathers all the art, setting it onto her desk. Her mind racing as she thought of what she had to do. She would have to get some tutoring in, see how the twins were, and head to the Library.

It didn't take her long to straighten her room, everything back where it belongs. As she grabs her bag, she slips it over her shoulder. Taking a glance back she pulls her hair up into a ponytail "I need to make sure not to get caught liek this again. No more of this locking myself away." pulling her door open, she peeks out of her room.

Seeing the hallway was empty like always, she smiles as she steps out of her room. Making her way down the hallway, her first stop would be to the Library. She needed to check out some more books, do some studying on her own.
