Its cool. The Magician is at work now. Sorry for the wait everyone.

Avienus

The slew of additions to the group was quite staggering, the High Priestess, the Fool, The Knight of Waves. Contemplating the group Avi’s eyes wandered from person to person. The Fool, this girl was skittish and ill equipped for this and yet such a potent card for her? Stranger things had certainly happened today. Tracking Saganat as he suddenly assailed someone on the sidewalk Avi tilted his head and watched the proceedings camly. That certainly ended the debate about where to look for the secondary bounty.

Hairs stood up on the back of his neck and The Mistarot turned to scan the crowd. Sailors around Greenwater Isle used to get a similar feeling. It was a place where even those with no magic could feel the Winds of Fate and what he felt was what they called an Ill Wind. Scanning the crowd he took the whole deck from its case. The metal cards slithered up his left arm curving to keep themselves from catching on his sleeves.

Two of the Tarot dropped neatly into his left hand as he manipulated the hilt of the curved dagger in his belt. Finally his eyes caught the figure moving through the crowd; that was until the individual vanished. The screaming made him shiver even in the sunlight. Something was wrong here and he wasn’t sure what exactly it was. Long ago Avi had learned to tell sheer blind chance from the machinations of fate. This was not blind chance.

Stepping away from the group he shot a look at them to see if anyone else had noticed. With a subtle incline of his head he moved towards the place where he’d seen the individual.

Letting the crowd flow around him like water Avi reached into his bag. Producing a skin of salt water the Stormcrack Diviner poured it into the air. Exerting his will on it Avi halted its descent and pulled it into a single floating globe. Capping the skin he set it back in his bag; with both hands free Avienus framed the water with his hands and slowly pulled the globe into a thin oval shape.

It was a lens of sorts.

Peering through it Avi let his eyes go unfocused as he started to roll back the memory of the spot searching for a face in the crowd through his lense of salt water. Without preparations there was a limit to how far back he could look but the lens could show him anything that had happened in a place in the last twenty minutes or so and from any angle so long as he moved it to look at it. It wasn’t back tracking through time so much as peering back through time through the memory of a particular place.

“Where are you...you sneaky bastard….”

Lazarus

The Academy- Afternoon

The smile on Lazarus face was massive as Misty started into the music and nodded along as Barachiel joined in on his flute. It was such a nice distraction from the worries of the day. Sliding his hands down the keys he followed Misty’s lead on the music using the lower half of the full grand piano. It was amazing working in a school where the majority of the students were musicians made life some much more enjoyable. It was quite clear that both of them were talented as there were few if any disharmonies in their improvisation. Continuing to make use of the other half of the piano Lazarus let the enjoyment of the moment suffice him and for the first time in the last two weeks he was happy again.

As the three of them finished up with the melody Lazarus chuckled. “You know it really is quite a joy working for a school where all of the students are relatively talented musicians.” Carefully closing the cover for the keys on the piano he turned to look at the two of them. Pulling a notebook from his bag he began to take note of the main melody. “I hope I didn’t pull you two away from anything important. I appreciate your willingness to humor me.” Looking up at Misty he tilted his head. “Your studies coming along okay? I’m sorry I haven’t exactly been present lately.”

Giving Barachiel a look he nodded at the weather angel. Barachiel had been around almost as long as he had though his position within the academy was much more akin to that of a quite guardian and assistant to the students. Turning his attention back to Misty he waited patiently for her to bring him up to speed on her progress.

Lazarus

The Academy- Afternoon

Fading off the end of his playing Lazarus looked up at the girl standing in the doorway before he beamed at her. “Misty. What an unexpected pleasure.” Toying with the last few notes of the refrain he’d finished off on he realized his note book wasn’t with him and that it might actually require him to cross the ballroom again to grab it from his bag. The young girl wasn’t exactly a prodigy at anything in particular but she had the same general aptitudes that Ian had; if without the opportunity to master a martial arts system before she turned eighteen like the young man had. The average students were the best in his eyes. His students who had everything come easily to them were a waste of his time until they found something difficult to practice and the particularly horrid students really should have been sent home to keep them safe. Then again the strongest steel was often forged in the hottest fires.

Turning his hands to the keys he played gently across them. “Come here, seeing my students is like hen’s teeth of late.” Looking up again he noticed the Weather angel behind her. Barachiel? That sounded right. The Academy had such a varied staff now it was hard to keep up sometimes. Gesturing at him he snapped his fingers and one of the stacked chairs on the edge of the room slid forward. Scooting over he gestured to the pair again. “Come on don’t be shy. I know both of you can play so you might as well help me out here. Grab my bag while you’re at it Misty? I need my note book. It’s been so long since I bothered to compose anything and it has all been for Violin lately. The Piano just looked so lonely; I figured that it could use some love.” Sliding over more he patted the seat and gestured to the chair. “Come on. Come keep me company for a bit, ya?”

Smiling to himself he continued to play with the end of the melody gently waiting patiently for the pair to come join him. He was fairly certain Misty hadn’t even noticed the angel.
