New Arrival (Open)

[Celeste]

She smiled as Seig came up seeming impressed by her wings and touched the one gently. She shivered slightly closing her red eyes as she did so. Her wings were very sensitive a definate weakness but she didn't mind.

"It's okay ... to touch... it doesn't hurt." she said happily yet softly.

She looked up at Ethan again her red eyes wide with innocence. He wanted to see what her magic could do? Why? She didn't know what to show him. What did you show someone really though. She wouldn't attack anyone in the halls she really didn't have many attack spells anyway.

"Perhaps.. one day.. Mr. Ethan. I will... show you .. my magic." she said with a smile as her eyes turned back to Seig a smile breaking out on her face.

She pulled her wing forward slightly and looked it over finding a loose feather she plucked it with a slight wince. The long silken white feather was soft in her hands. She took Seig's hand in her own gently the one not touching her wing and placed the feather in his hand.

"Here, for being so.. friendly and nice." she said as she pet Azure again. "And for ... letting me name... Azure."

[Sieg]

He smiled as he noticed her shiver while he touched her wings. Sieg figured they must be pretty sensitive and he inspected them curiously, scanning them intently with his eyes. He felt her take his hand and then put a feather in it. He smiled brightly at the gift, not only had she given him the feather but her wings had sparked his creativity.

"Thank you Celeste....for the feather and the inspiration. Atticus may find himself with a pair of artificial wings after this...or I may even invent a mechanical angel...with you as my inspiritation," he said with a soft smile as he tapped his finger to his chin thoughtfully, already working out the designs in his head.

Sieg turned to face Ethan again, he was glad he found his mana battery impressive. Sieg was not egotistical but it always did him good to hear that his inventions were appreciated. "I've refined the design for the mana battery since I created Atticus, he was my first attempt at a technologically advanced golem after all. But the old design functions well enough so I won't be upgrading him, at least not for a little while," he said with a grin as Atticus watched Ethan curiously.

[Ethan Yukimaru]

"Hmmm... Intriguing" Ethan thought, his eyes still upon the wings. "Indeed Celeste....perhaps we should have a demonstration some day soon"

With that, the man turned to face Seig...who was hearing ideas of robotic wings. The concept was simply cool, if one were to say that... After all, robotic wings. However, doing so could leave the mage Seig here unguarded as his golem would be leaving him. Regardless, it would result in a very offense capable golem that would strike from above... Indeed, the combat possibilities seemed endless. Snapping out of his short train of thought, Ethan soon realize he had yet to reveal his style... Good, because he liked it that way...

Regardless, the man moved back to what he was previously doing, taking his time to examine the Golem. Now was a free period for Ethan, with no classes to go to. Feeling that he had no hurry, he began to focus in on the Golem....interested by it's prospects...

[Kheldar]

"It's a waste of magic..."

A young man said as he looked up from the windowseat where he was reading nearby.

The angel is cute, the noble guy is a prick, and the tech geek wastes...

I think I'll ask for the girl's number later...

Kheldar ran his fingers through his hair as he looked up from where he was reading. The title obscured given the angle he held it at as he looked up from his reading again and very deliberatly leveled a closed fan at Seig.

"Why, correct something that works? If it works don't tinker with it. It's a waste of magic and resources otherwise."

His voice was soft and distant as he turned to look out the window for a moment.

The clouds are nice, maybe I'll go outside later.

[Sieg]

Sieg faced the newcomer with a look of interest. Figures some people thought they knew everything. This guy probably didn't even understand the most basic of Atticus' circuitry or combat protocol system. Sieg grinned faintly as he looked the newcomer over once before approaching him.

"Improving upon a solid design is never a waste. Even you can agree that nothing is perfect, even if Atticus is suitable for ground combat he can be improved to expand his range of abilities. Besides if I am running low on mana while fighting a flying enemy...I'm bound to be out of luck, especially if I have a golem who has no flight capabilities," he said with a smile, before sticking out his hand, "Sieg Rhinehart...nice to meet you."

[Kheldar]

"Rather then going for a possible failure use solid dependability..."

Kheldar replied calmly.

....simplicity beats extravagence all the time....

Still Kheldar saw Seig approaching him.

What the....

He then saw the extended hand and looked at it and then looked at the man offering it for a moment. Couldn't the guy see that his hands were kind of occupied right now? How bothersome....

Eh whatever...

Rather then shake the hand Kheldar simply looked up.

"I'd make sure you having nothing on you that I could drain before I shake your hand."

Maybe that will stir him off...

He looked up at Seig for a moment.

Why do I always get the weird ones?

He snapped his fan open for a moment.

Should I tell him their's a remote mine on this fan?

He snapped the fan closed.

Nah....

[Sieg]

Sieg laughed a little but inside he had a mind to have Atticus punch the jackass through the window. Sieg shrugged it off and watched him carefully. He wondered how much knowledge of technology this guy had. He did have a point though, simple dependability did beat out extravagence

"Your point is valid, I'll give you that. However adaptibility is just as useful especially when combined with dependability. Atticus here is a sturdy machine, a pair of wings won't throw him off his game so easily. Besides I don't see why you have such a problem with what I do with my golem. I did build him after all and he is mine...does it hurt you in some way if I decide to give flight capability or maybe add on to his armament?" he asked as he flipped through the Atticus' blueprints on his pds, already drawing in changes and scribbling notes to himself, "Besides Ms. Celeste doesn't seem like the offensive type does she, but those wings give her an offensive and defensive advantage in battle. There a wide variety of battle situations and it's good to have at least a plan for most, if not the tools to overcome most of those situations," he said with a smile, stealing a glance back at Celeste.

[Onira]

"Oooooh..."

Onira stared at the robot, unsure of what to make of it. One didn't see too many giant mechanical thing just staning in the hallways with an angel next to it and a guy in robes. It was really just one of those moments.

"Strange."

He poked the back of the robot a few times, thr thought coming into his mind to transmute it into a big meanie beasty. But that would be mean. Then again, he suspected the group had yet to see him, so if he did change it, it would probably scare them before they found out the reason.

"Must... resist..."

He muttered to himself, his brain in one of it's usual battles against itself. One challenger was "Mischief" and the other was "boyscout". The match was even, so far.

"No... have... to... be strong..."

He quickly placed his index finger and thumb in his mouth, sucking back air quickly for a moment. It was time to play the fail safe. Something to distract him and call the fight to a draw.

"WHEEP!"

The whistle rang through the halls, everything silent for a moment. The lack of sound was strange, yet ultimately short lived. Immediately the clacking sound of a large creature begun to approach Onira in a blur, suddenly jumping over the robot to land behind Onira. He turned around.

"Thanks, Saisho."

The large, silver elk nodded and gave a huff as Onira pet the side of his neck softly, giving the elk a playful headbutt before turning to the group that probably had just found him.

"Hi!"

[Celeste]

Celeste blushed deeply when he said she was inspiration. She really didn't know how. But she was happy she could help. She let her wings pull back into her back and her eyes changed back to the ice blue that she wore most of the time.

Celeste watched as the newest boy seemed to jump into their conversation saying it was a waste of magic. She raised a pale brow but said nothing. She was used to personalities like his and so she stayed back and stayed quiet just watching them.

Suddenly another boy came up and began walking around Atticus. But even stranger than that was the elk? She took a very visible step back as she reached up and took Azure off her shoulder and hugged the little beelte to her chest gently. She was a bit afraid of the beast.

Seig spoke highly of Celeste and she blushed as his gaze drifted over to her. She leaned gently against the wall just watching all the men around her conversing really not having anything to say at the moment.

[Kheldar]

Two snaps.

The fan opened and closed as he stared at this boy.

Idiot.

"Celeste's are natural wings that follow the various theories of gravity and flight. Her's allow her to fly since they are light-weight and she can lift herself with them."

A third snap.

"Lifting metal even light-weight requires the force behind it even if you have the articulation metal wings don't work on the same principle as organic ones."

Click.

An ink pen this time as he wrote out a flight and force equation that was incredibly complex. This kid was obviously a tech-head of some sorts from the ease that he wrote the formula out on his clipboard and held up the formula.

"The modulations needed would mean that you have to shift things around their by increasing the error margin of a solid and dependable design."

Click.

The ink pen was put back.

Snap.

The fan closed.

"WHEEP!"

He's annoying. Wonder if he can make that annoying call after I stuff a grenade down his throat.....

He looked at Onira having already noticed his presence for awhile. One of the advantages of having a presence of mind so to speak. He watched the idget headbutt the elk thing for a moment.

.....

"You shouldn't make such loud and troublesome calls...."

[Sieg]

"The wings wouldn't function the same as her wings, I wasn't talking about the physics of just slapping metal wings on Atticus' back. I understand the problems behind that, I'm not totally braind dead you know, just a little scatterbrained. Besides we're not talking practical world physics...remember there is magic involved," he said with a grin, "Magic is the key to making the impossible, possible," he grimaced in annoyance at the whistle. "I actually have to agree with him on that one...very loud and troublesome..." he said, sticking a finger in his ringing ear as he turned to face the newcomer.

He was poking around Atticus like a kid who had just discovered a new toy. Then he headbutted the elk that he apparently had summoned with the whistle, "I see you like Atticus," he said as Atticus whirred curiously, examining the elk. He took a step towards Celeste, she seemed a little lost an afraid after these new turn of events. Sieg smiled at the way she clutched Azure, "You can keep him if you want Ms. Celeste," he offered, "He seems to like you quite a bit."

[Celeste]

Her crystalline eyes opened wide at Seig's words. She looked down at the little beetle in her hands and smiled before looking back up at Seig. She could not believe he was giving her something. Something so special.

"Mr. Seig. Are ... I mean thank you so very much." she said softly her first almost complete sentence.

She put Azure back on her shoulder and moved up and hesitantly at first but then making her decision she hugged Sieg gently her arms around his neck. She squeezed him gently before blushing and pulling back gently stepping away.

"I cannot... thank you enough.. Mr. Seig." she said softly. She was beaming. She had a little buddy now. Azure would go everywhere with her and she was happy to have him along.

[Sieg]

He smiled and blushed softly as she hugged him. Sieg wrapped his arms around her waist and squeezed her back as she hugged him. She felt good in his arms, but he didn't want to make a move and scare her or anything. For now the hug was good enough, he was glad she liked his present.

"You're welcome Celeste. I saw how well you two got along and I couldn't keep you apart," he said with a grin, "Just remember to feed him a little mana each day. If he shows any signs of trouble or something goes wrong just bring him to me and I'll fix him right up," he said with a smile.

[Alastin]

"It's good to see you smiling like that Celeste," Drake said with a smile as he walked down the hall towards the group and pushed his glasses up to his nose for a moment. He had been listening for awhile but, had decided to finally make an apperance in all this. Staring at the mechanical complexity for a moment he spotted the smalle bug on Celeste's shoulders.

Celeste needs all the support she can get.

Indeed but, his technology is most interesting.

Drake nodded mentally as he smiled at Seig.

"Drake Sevnik. A pleasure."

[Kheldar]

"Technology and magic true. You speak as if you combine them daily like myself."

Kheldar said calmly as he snapped open his book again and stood up to lean against the wall. He gave a smile at the cute hug but, it didn't show on his face. Turning the page his eyebrow shot up at some of the words.

Poor guy...
