New Beginning 17: Souls of Intellect

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"She's no replacement, Mimi-ko." I roll my eyes, hearing her insecure thoughts, "She's one of us. Not exactly a reality bender. More a mage. But still. One of us."

[ParallelanPrincess]

"Philote, I've heard great things. I popped by Aeon in my quest to find the vanishing teacher." I gesture towards Senpai... "It's a nice place, a little hot, but still nice." I curtsy. Why? Because it feels right for some reason. Senpai chuckles. Jerkface...

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 "Thanks for the formalities, PRINCESS..." I chuckle a bit, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go get something to eat. Feel free to fraternize wit mah feller reality benderz..."

[Zaleramancer]

"I am the mighty and powerful Zale!" I say.

I conjure up a platter of cookies.

"Have a cookie!"

[ParallelanPrincess]

"One of 'us'? As in." I point to the celing to reference the pantheon. Mage, eh? I always did suck at magic... My comment draws a few stare. Great. I sound like a totally polirud. I hope Dryad doesn't get mad and pwn me in front of everyone.

[ParallelanPrincess]

"Cookies!" I squee. I can't help it. I'm still a little girl at heart. I bit into a cookie. It tastes like Elysium. "Zale, I believe we can be allies."

[Zaleramancer]

"Yay for allies!"

The cookie platter begins to hover around the room.

"COOKIES FOR EVERYONE!"

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"One of us? What do you mean by-"

Something skirts the edge of the area in which I can sense things.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Has anyone seen Sarabi? He wasn't....oh, what's going on here?"

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 "COOKIES!"

I secretly try to take two, but Nikolai smacks my hand and I put one back...

"Sir, you'll ruin your dinner." He says matter-of-factly.

"WHAT?!?!?! Master ruined his dinner???" chef Ivan Cook calls from the kitchen; how the heck he heard that, I'll never know, "YOU BETTER HAVE AN APPETITE FOR WHAT I'M COOKING!!!"

 *sigh*

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Ahem." I clear my throat, "Um...well, I doubt she's one of YOU, Ty--erm, Savior..."

[ParallelanPrincess]

I wave at the newcomer. "Come we have FOOD. Oh and I'm Savior, Wulf's student. You must be the Soupster right?"

[Celadon's Penultimate]

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Er.....not quite. I am the Marvelous Miscreant, but you can call me Marv."

[ParallelanPrincess]

"Okay then." Dryad shoots a glance at me. "I mean, you look Parallelan! You have the complexion! Not that you're ugly. You're very pretty I-" I realize I'm spazzing out. I chomp another cookie to prevent my mouth from further nonsense.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

"I just felt something out of place, but by 'Ty' who or what were you refering to?"

[ParallelanPrincess]

"G'day, Marv! I'm sorry for the mix-up. It just feels like you would like a good bowl of thunder rabbit stew." More staring. "A thunder rabbit's a rabbit...that shoots lightning from it's eyes. They um...are only found in Harlo City, that's in Parallela." Speaking of which, I really wanted a bowl of that stew. With a cup of lindaberry juice... Yum..

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 "Oh...nothing. Nothing at all. And most certainly nothing divine or godlike."

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 "Stop being awkward! Makin' me look bad!" I snap, "And besides. Dinner's in like five minutes! You guys eating or not?"

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"I'd love a good meal, if I'm invited. It'll be a great chance to get to know this lovely young lady.....and to eat. It occurs to me I haven't eaten anything since our last party."
