- [20:51] Bai Lang says, "A tour, maybe."
- [20:51] Acheron Erebus asks, "Mind if I come along?"
- [20:51] Bai Lang says, "You're supposed to be doing this kind of tour, but sure, why not."
- [20:52] Katrin Weiss says, "Sounds like ya been promoted to the welcomin' committee, miss Bai."
- [20:52] Bai Lang says, "I am, nominally, on the council. Ish."
- [20:52] Lierin says, "It's appreciated."
- [20:52] Elysia steps forward, pumping a fist in the air and cheering. "Places to go! Things to learn!"
- (Elysia)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [20:52] Bai Lang says, "Alright. Come along, store first."
- [20:53] Acheron Erebus says, "--"
- [20:53] Lierin nodnods.
- (Lierin)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [20:53] Acheron Erebus asks, "No one noticed the Ant?"
- [20:53] Bai Lang says, "Do not ask about the random muntants, the headmaster... tolerates them."
- [20:53] Lierin says, "I'm s-sure that's..."
- [20:53] Bai Lang says, "Anyway. The detatched store front. You can get various school uniforms here, as well as furniture for your dorms."
- [20:53] Lierin says, "... fine..."
- [20:54] Acheron Erebus says, "..."
- [20:54] Bai Lang says, "The uniforms themselves are optional, and the various houses and themes depicted on them are old stuff."
- [20:54] Acheron Erebus exclaims, "Wait!"
- [20:54] Bullet Ant exclaims, "!"
- [20:54] Acheron Erebus asks, "Do you go to school here?"
- [20:55] Bullet shakes head.
- (Bullet Ant)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [20:55] Acheron Erebus asks, "Can you talk?"
- [20:55] Lierin leans the *fuck* back.
- (Lierin)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [20:55] Lierin whispers something.
- [20:56] Bai Lang whispers something.
- [20:56] Lierin whispers something.
- [20:56] Lierin grimaces upon Bai Lang's muttered words, his lips pursing and silver-pale skin going just a touch paler. Gross.
- (Lierin)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [20:56] Lierin whispers something.
- [20:59] Pulling away from the group as the manifestation of an ant crossed humanoid appeared before them.
- Curious golden eyes peered forward, observing the antling for what it is.
- "I'm guessing that you can't communicate properly.... Let's see if there's something we can do about that."
- Coming forward, he invaded their personal space.
- "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
- He smiled charmingly as he extended a hand towards them, soon to take a hold of their shoulder.
- Slowly, he closed his eyes. Focusing as he'd lose himself in a meditative state. Focusing on their conscious before a voice spoke out to them!
- Yet his lips remained still.
- "Can you understand me now? Don't feat. I'm the person before you. But I'm using a series of complex magic to communicate with you in a language that you understand. My name's Acheron, feel free to think whatever you want to say. I'll be able to receive your thoughts back."
- A mixture of intricate theories of illusion magic had helped the Rhyonish reach this point. Thankfully, he paid attention in class!
- (Acheron Erebus)

- [21:02] Elysia whispers something.
- [21:03] Bai Lang whispers something.
- [21:03] Lierin whispers something.
- [21:03] Bai Lang whispers something.
- [21:04] Lierin casually steps backwards, moving to put Bai Lang between himself and the ant-creature.
- (Lierin)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:06] Lierin whispers something.
- [21:06] Bai Lang whispers something.
- [21:07] Lierin whispers something.
- [21:08] Bai Lang whispers something.
- [21:08] It was not in Bullet's antics to roam too close to cities. The ant princess didn't like them as there were far too many men and women who wished to see them dead.
- Also--
- It was impossible to hunt!
- If she started tearing through this bunch, more would come! An event that'd most certainly sign the insect's end. And naturally, it didn't want to die..! Mandibles rub against one another, antennas shift left and right. A hand is extended in their direction but it is not taken.
- As for the hand on her shoulder, it is pushed away!
- Bullet doesn't trust MEATBAGS.
- "Wouldn't be able to hurt me, even if wanted to. Body to frail, body too soft. Made of flesh and white sticks. Can't compare to chitin."
- The message is relayed telepathically.
- As small as they were, they sounded quite hostile!
- "You food. Eat your kin. But not hungry today. If not let me I bite head off for funz!"
- Her mandibles clash against one another once more!
- (Bullet Ant)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:11] Bai Lang watches the two suspiciously, keeping the two newer students behind her. She isn't entirely subtle about unhooking her bow off of her waist, however, gripping it in hand to properly wield it, although not gesturing it towards the mutant. "I think you have your usual answer there. Shoo it away and be done with it. A fight here would be dangerous to you know who, anyway." Despite staring at the Ant Queen, she was obviously addressing to Acheron.
- (Bai Lang)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:13] Elysia blinks a few times, her hands covering and uncovering her ears briefly. "Weeeird." She comments idly. At the threat, though, she jumps a bit, drawing back a step. "Yeah, maybe we should leave it be."
- (Elysia)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:15] As mandibles rubbed against another, antennas swaying from side to side, Acheron stared, captivated by their uniqueness and what truly made them.. Well them!
- "They're certainly a unique creature."
- He smiled as they brushed away his hand before countering with their own telepathic thoughts.
- "Ah.. So you do understand. You just communicate in a different way... Aa, perhaps your shy. Or maybe your anatomy lacks vocal cords..."
- Acheron leaned even closer, clearly not caring for any threats that were offered as his curiosity overwhelmed him.
- But before pushing their limits, he'd jump back at the slightest hint of physical contact. Jumping back with their hands held high as he'd laugh playfully before the ant-like creature.
- "My bad, my bad. It's just that when I find interest in something..."
- His words faded.
- "I never let it go until I'm satisfied."
- Was it a threat of his own?
- "Anyway, do be safe antling. I'd like to see.. More of you another time. Do take care however."
- (Acheron Erebus)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:15] IMMEDIATELY, Lierin looks both distressed and disgusted- hands snap to his ears and clamp, displeased by the noise within his mind. "I- I knew it, I knew it, ew, ew."
- Despite his clear revulsion, the younger student makes no movements beyond continuing to remain behind Bai Lang, eyes locked on Acheron and the... mutant.
- (Lierin)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:23] "Smart!"
- Genuine compliment!
- They listened without forcing them to tear them into shreds, or devour a limb or two. Refreshing, to say the least. But would the ant princess spare them if they met in the wilderness.
- ABSOLUTELY!
- ..not..
- When she's hungry, she is HUNGRY! And it's never wise to come across a hungry ant..! They're ready to do anything even just from bread crumbs. Truly!
- "I leave now!"
- The creature turns, slowly making her way towards the bridge. Somekind of bump seems to be following Bullet and so-- once they make it to the stone bridge, thousands if not millions of tiny little ants emerge from the soil to follow their leader!
- A whole colony of ants!
- Whoah..
- They had their own portable army!
- Acheron was right to let them go.
- Imagine how bad it could have gone!
- Truly.. fascinating.
- (Bullet Ant)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [21:25] Acheron Erebus says, "Wasn't that interesting.."
- [21:25] Lierin says, "... it..."
- [21:25] Acheron Erebus exclaims, "My apologies everyone! We can definitely continue on with the tour!"
- [21:25] Lierin says, "... sure was something."
- [21:25] Bai Lang says, "Huh. Anyway, life lesson; keep your weapons about you."
- [21:25] Lierin says, "Right."
