"Please, rest for a while. I'm pretty sure that you guys are still tired so just relax for a bit." Kyoshin recomended to everyone. "Help your selves to some tea and the assorted cakes. You'll like them alot. Our institute's Colnary department is one of the top classes." Aoi added in with a smile.

She wasn't going to be quite so forward as to take the first cake...but she was curious to taste the tea, so she poured herself a cup and sipped it. It wasn't as bitter as most teas...slightly sweet in fact.
Mizuna pondered over the ingredients while waiting for the others to talk.

Ayumi glanced at the cakes, sweets, and tea--they all looked simply delicious but she'd rather wait to get herself some and let everyone else have their share. Of course, there was plenty of tea to go around so she took a small teacup and poured some in. It didn't taste like her usual cup of tea; it was far more sweeter yet it still had that tea taste to it.
She sipped her tea slowly and quietly, holding the teacup in her usual ways: her hand supporting the bottom of the cup as her other hand would be gently placed near the rim towards the top. Once she finished, Ayumi sat and smiled her usual smile after placing the teacup on a nearby coffee table. She sat there upstraight with her hands neatly placed on her lap and watched everyone else in the room chatter, relax, and enjoy themselves.

Hana watched as the others focused in on the tea. She couldn't understand why they were all passing up such sweet-smelling cakes! Hana then proceeded to pop a couple cakes in her mouth. She gasped! "Oishii desu!" She smiled at the others and decided to attempt to repeat that statement. "De... de-li... ... .... good."
Hana had a bit of trouble telling the others her thoughts, but she smiled and decided 'good' really did describe the cakes. She then sat back and rested. In no time she was taking a quick nap in her chair as the others chatted away and sipped their tea.

Syaoran said tat he was fine that he didn't need anything but he just took a cup of tea. "This tastes like the tea I used to make for my father..... except it was less sweet..." Syaoran looked at the cakes but decided not to eat them. "We should talk about the castle and our plan now." Syaoran looked at the book and saw the map. He then showed it to everyone. "Okay, what should we do first in this attempt?" Syaoran looked at the map and noticed something strange. "Guys, when we came here, there wasn't a building combined with the castle... was there?" he pointed where he thought was really strange and just started to sit back and relax for a short while

Fai nods his head, an easy smile on his face. "Yes, there is a Chi in my world as well." Fai follows Syaoran, moving to look over his shoulder at the map when he asks about the building. "Hyuu...I do not remember a building there, but I was not paying much attention when we were flying. As for how we should go about this, first, let us sum up everything we know about this lord and his castle into one big list, then compile a plan from there!"

"Well there is a small building that used to lead to the castle but ever sense Huo came along he tor down all exits and entrances to the castle except for the main and air entrances. Right now that small building is now turned into a vault where we keep the rare weapons for the chosen students." Aoi filled the answer to Syaoran's question. "But the previous head master an entrance through that same one. Though now he's no longer of this world." Kyoshin added in.

Ayumi sat and thought to herself as she poured in another cup of tea. Oh that's right! We have to devise a plan to get into that castle. Didn't someone mention that there was a ball going to be held at the castle sometime soon? A masquerade no less...it would be nice to take that ball to our advantage and sneak in the castle like that. she thought to herself and sighed. Ayumi hoped that going to the ball would be one step in the plan--she's always wanted to go to one--they sounded so romantic from what she's heard about them in this world.
And the rare weaponry...I wonder what weapon will choose me...or what will I choose for myself? There is only one weapon that I was trained in using...a long bladed staff called the Naginata. Ayumi imagined the naginata she used in her world for training--with a long blade and an even longer handle. She smiled a soft and small smile and then continued to sip her tea.

"Well, the lord had the feather, then some people became ill so did the lord, so he asked a royal magician to seal it in a big block of ice in the dungeons. He put a curse on the skeletons there so every night, they prowl in the dungeon. The captain of the skeletons has the key to unlock it but he is well surrounded by his men." Syaoran said.
"there are three entrances well hidden in and out of the dungeon. One is in the garden, one near that hole we saw, and one behind a wall. It doesn't show where we would end up in the dungeon though." Syaoran pointed at the entrances.

Mizuna pondered on the conversation.
"If there really is a masquerade tonight, the garden won't be a good entry point because there are likely to be guests and guards alike present. Unless we go there in disguise, that should be out. As for the hole and the wall, which one do you think leads to the dungeon. Pick whichever entrance you like and leave the guards to me."

"Well if you take the secret entrance that leads from here to the castle it might be a little bit easier to go in. But I have no clue how to open it that's the problem." Kyoshin suggested. The guest list is computerized so we can have our technicians reprogram it and add your names on it so you won't have suspicious eyes on you." Kyoshin added in. "You can look at old school maps to help you open the secret entrance." Aoi added in annother piece of info.

Syaoran was an archaeologist in Clow, so he was well qualified to deal with this. She paused a moment in thought.
"You said that it's a nightly curse....there are different ways to go about it depending on how the curse works. But at this point, finding a way to stop them seems most important....they're already dead so not a lot besides magic can affect them...and the leader has a key...."
Mizuna pondered this slowly. There had to be a way to get past this. Perhaps they could disguise themselves? But as what? Only skeletons could get past skeletons and even so...
"Wait...is anyone here good at illusion magic?"

"Rituka and Hane are good with Illusion magic and you'll be able top learn it to as well." Kyoshin answered.

"OK...."
Mizuna was rather eager at the prospect of learning to do magic.
"I don't know how this will work at all, but I'm simply throwing the suggestion out. Perhaps someone could use magic and make it seem like we're skeletons also? I've yet to think how or why that would help....but it's a thought..."

Syaoran started to look at the old school maps. he put them on the table and looked at the book. " We will take the hole entrance. Most likely that hole is big enough to fit in all of us, but one at a time."
He looked back at the old school maps. "It is possible that I might be able to open it, but I think I need a certain type of magic. What symbol is this?" he asked as he pointed at a strange elemental symbol that was firmilar to him but he wanted to make sure. "Back at Clow, this was referred as sunlight. Is it the same here?"
