Search for luggage at the Docks., continued from <Incomplete interlude>

[Reina]

OOC- I had the worst urge to name this topic "The bleeder, the skitzo, and the naked bird"



Reina stopped running and put her hands on her knees, slightly out of breath.
Her mind switched itself into a different gear as she stood up straight and looked around.
Not sure whether the bird and Toiracsi wer following her, she moved on closer to the dock, looking for baggage and such, but to her dismay, there was a whole pile of it. All different shapes and colors of bags and cases. Probably belonging to the new student arrivals.
She stared at it rather stupidly.
"Daamn." she muttered under a breath, scanning the mess.

*OOC* Indeed cruel, cruel idea for a title Reina...still...it was an amusing thought though.

Oh, and I hope no one minds me usurping ocntrol of my own character otherwise this is just going to get tedious.
*IC*

Toiracsi made his way down to the docks at a light jog interspaced with the occasional hope form one side to another simply for the sensation of his body moving completely in air for the brief instants.

As he came to stand by Reina he didn't stop moving merely exchanging teh jog for a fixed Irish dance, "Just a few bags then..." he noted.

Irrilandus soared down to them, at first attempting to land on Toiracsi's shoulder, to which the boy immediately voiced his objection to leaping a clear six foot to the right. The dragon sighed inwardly and settled instead on carefully picking his way to landing on Reina's shoulder, his Talons only lightly pressing against her skin. he surveyed the hill of luggage, [T]I guess between us myself and Mr Mayflower carry a great deal of baggeg with us as we travel.[/T]

[Reina]

Reina looked up at the large bird with a hint of annoyance.
"This can't possibly be all yours." she muttered, staring at the mass. After a moment she kicked the nearby bag aside.
"..No." she said finally said. " I'm going to unpile all of this luggage. All you have to do, is tell me which ones are yours. Simple, right? Alright."
The command was directed at both of them.
She took out her black fan and spread it open, revealing a black rose emblem on the thin fabric. Swishing it around experimentally, she smiled inwardly.
"I hope you didn't pack anything fragile." she said in a sing-song voice.
Because its time to take a long, tedious job, and cut it into a simple task.

Flicking her fan in several directions, luggage began flying everywhere with small, but powerful gusts of wind.

[Ayanami 42]

[T]STOOOOOOPPPPPP![/T]

Irrilandus reached out with his own powers his eyes glowing their pale blue and his wings unfurled in shock. The wind immediately ceased. Though this caused the bags to fall back to Earth. A situation which he rectified by softening the gravity of the area.

He looked back at Reina, [T]As a matter of fact I did![/T] he gave her a headbutt with his tiny skull, which didn't feel painful at all but it was a better wasy of venting his frustration than ripping off her face.

[T]Show some paitience girl! Quite a few of these are mine...all we're lookign for is a blue chest tied with silk rope.[/T]

~

Toiracsi had taken a deft step backwards as Reina unleashed the wind and had to fight the urge to giggle as she was berated by the bird. He picked his way over to the luggage a spring in his wide strides as he hopped from one trunk to another.

[Reina]

Reina's head cracked sideways on impact. It hadnt hurt, but none the less...
She plucked the bird from her shoulder to her arm and stared at it with a huff.
She opened her mouth to say something but stopped only to glare at Toiracsi who was hopping about the luggage like a child.
"I thought men were supposed to be productive." She hissed. Then biffing the eagle's head ever so gently she surveyed the luggage again.
Blue chest, silk rope.
Her eyes darted around, trained by the years of breaking and entering, adjusting to dark, and picking up details with ease.
"There." she said after a moment, pointing with her fan to the chest. She lifted it gently into the air and brought it over to them.
Putting it down carefully she put the eagle on the lid.
"Job done." she annonced with a bored look on her face. "I was hoping for something a little more challenging."

[Ayanami 42]

Irrilandus gave an avian screech in protest to his treatment. A screech that caused all the birds that circled over head to disperse again in panic. He flew to the chest walking all over it as he inspected it. [T]Yes, this is the one.[/T] he looked back up at Reina, [T]I still need to get my garments out before I can change and none of this is particularly easy while lacking opposable thumbs![/T] he spread his wings where he stood to emphasise.

~

Toiracsi stuck his tongue out at Reina, "I thought women were supposed to have natural grace." his eyes glinted with mischief as he conintued picking his way around. He found his way to the chest and started on the ropes, "This is pretty, I could get used to opening somethign like this to get my clothes..."

[Reina]

"So I'm a klutz, i admit. But since when do men use the words "that's pretty" ?" she rolled her eyes. As soon as he had the chest open, she pulled out a couple of robe-ish garments and held it before the eagle.
She picked up the bird, walked the distance to the nearby clump of trees and put the eagle down with the clothes behind a large tree trunk.
"Voila, lord nakedness." she said, waving her hand in a 'shooing' motion before walking away, back to Toiracsi.

After a moment of silence, she looked around at the luggage.
"Didn't you say you had some luggage too?" Reina asked Toiracsi with a little wicked grin, whipping out her fan.

[Ayanami 42]

Toiracsi let his hands caress the exquisite treasure as he worked on opening it, feeling ever contour on its smooth finished metal work and blue lacquer. "Well at least since yesterday, so I don't think you should complain." he retorted pushing the lid up to peer inside.

~

[T]When the two of you are quite finished.[/T] Irrilandus excalimed with the mental equivilant to a huff, hopping up to stand on the edge of the chest as it opened. [T]Yes, yes. All in order. Now if you-[/T] he gave a tiny avian shriek as he was uncerimoniusly plucked up, bird handled and dumped behind a tree.

[T]A little more respect to strangers pays a thousand fold dividends, dear girl.[/T] he sent back to her calling mist from the sea. Sluggishly it complied, creeping out of the water and onto the shore to wrap itself initimately around Irrilandus as his body began to glow.

Slowly it grew into a man shaped mass of light and as the glow ebbed his telltale graceful features returned to as they had been earlier that very day. He opened his eyes as the transformation completed and set about the complicated process of changing into the ornate finery all the while cloaked in the ambiguity of the dense fog he had wrapped himself in.

~

Toiracsi grimaced at Reina, "I'm beginning to dread you use of the past tense n your sentences."

He crouched low as the fog floated past them recalling too quickly the incident with the shadow. As he floowled its path to the tree stump he relaxed shaking his head, "Crazy..."

[Reina]

Picking three bags up, Reina began to juggle them in the air with her fan. She added a few more and continued on without stop while waiting patiently for the boys to come back.
"This is good practice." She said to herself, lifting a red gaudy purse into her juggling.

[Ayanami 42]

Toiracsi' was picking his way through the scattered luggage for several minutes, noting a lot of it followed two distinct patterns. One almost certainly connected to the silver and blue of the shapeshifter the two of them had met but the other...he was less sure. Who need's all this? Really? More to the point who can afford all this?

He grinned with his mouthful of fangs while he recovered a small battered suitcase from Reina's detritus. "At last!" He exclaimed opening it and whipping out his coat and slipping easily into it. At first the prospect fo a mediterranean island had suggested a lack of purpose for such a thing but with the mist cooling him off Toiracsi felt it very prudent indeed.

He casually stolled back to Reina who was amusing herself with other people's possessions, "And for her next trick Reina will do the Can-can!" he exclaimed laughing.

~

The process had almost a ritual quality to it, honed with several centuries of practice. Even the most intricate of tasks was nothing more than a series of simple gestures that eventually manifested into something far greater. After the a few minutes Irrilanuds was back to his usual regal, graceful self and in a good mind to give that little girl a couple of lessons in decorum. Still, he digressed, it was time to be moving to the theater for this gatherign that should be occuring.

As he remerged from the trees the mist faded leaving him with the sight as it was.

Stretching out his arm and commanding wind and gravity with no show but for a slight glows in his hauntingly azure eyes the Dragon made them stop completely in mid-air, "A little respect to other's property might not go amiss young lady."

[Reina]

"You want me the do the can-can?" she laughed, rolling her eyes. She illusioned herself into a huge red and black layered dress, and curtised, still juggling the luggage with one hand.
Then a beautiful man emerged from the trees with evident grace and halted her jest.

"So you're a pretty boy...And strict one too." she said dully. "How extremely fun."
Sighing, she waved her fan and all the luggage was back in its pile. Except for the ugly red purse she had found, which she tossed into Toiracsi's arms.
"There's your man purse," She laughed. "And if you want me to do the can-can, you'll have to carry it around with dignity."
She had no doubt he'd drop the thing and be done with it without wasting a second.

[Ayanami 42]

Toiracsi whistled as Irrilandus stepped out of the mist, "Nice a little high maitenece for my taste but nice..." he fingered the silver bands around his wrists until the purse came flying at him. His free hand snapping up he caught it before realising what it was. He made a disgusted look on his face, "Trust you to find the most gauche purse in the pile." he stuck his tongue out, "And I would carry it, though that would be theft wouldn't it and I doubt our friend here would approve." he nodded to the pale young man who had apparantly been a bird.

~

Irrilandus blinked as the girl changed. An interesting trick, one he would have to be careful of. He bowed his head slightly as she spoke to him, "You have no idea." he replied with a wicked grin.

With another wave of his hand the mist dissapeared completely retreating back to the sea, "Now as I recall there was spposed to be a gathering of sorts at the arena, yes? We should be heading there I think. However I have to ask: Have either of you seen another particularly graceful young man covered in golden scales and spines? He may have had a young woman in tow...maybe more than one...he has something of mine."

[Reina]

"Theft, my darling? You forget who I am." she said quietly with a side glance to Toiracsi.

"Now as I recall there was supposed to be a gathering of sorts at the arena, yes? We should be heading there I think. However I have to ask: Have either of you seen another particularly graceful young man covered in golden scales and spines? He may have had a young woman in tow...maybe more than one...he has something of mine."

"Hmm. No, I usually keep tabs on the local cuties." she said dismissively with a wave of her hand.
"But you'll probably see him at the school meeting, considering, as the name suggests, the whole school will be there." she added smartly as she swished around in the elegant dress. "And yeah, we should go now. Unless we feel like being fashionably late."
She skipped off in the direction of the school coliseum. (sp?)












Im getting tired of ending, and starting new posts....<.<;;
Could you please do it?

[Ayanami 42]

Darling? That's a new one. Toiracsi shook his head as the girl skipped off. He thought for moment and offered to the robed man, "I did see a guy like that hanging around the courtyard some time ago, but that was only in passing. By the way, just who are you Mr Bird?" he asked slipping his hands into his coat pockets.

Irrilandus guided a long lock from his eyes and flicked it over his shoulder, "I am one of your new teachers, young man and there will be plenty of time for introductions later. Now I think we should hurry or that young lady of yours may just get away."

Toiracsi flashed him a sharp grin tossing the horrible bag back into the mountain and the pair took off after the skipping girl.
