[color=8493ca]“Oh, about the whole air quality thing,”[/color] Kress spoke up, both relieved that Sira was there to add validity to his own statements and eager to discuss more of the magical machinery that went into improving the quality-of-life for Arkus’s students. [color=8493ca]“I’m not too sure who’s the one behind the prototyping of it, but one of the older students here’s actually working on this super interesting smokestack as well. I think the core concept behind it was using something like…transfiguration magic, alongside runic magic, with oversight from an elementalist shaman to create stone blocks that can imitate the properties of trees. They take in the bad air, essentially, and turn it into clean air, while, you know, requiring only water to operate, alongside the occasional injection of magical energy during maintenance. Heard it’s going to be especially useful for places with lotsa rain, cause, y’know, it rains, so people need fires to keep warm and dry, but instead of making everything smell due to the smoke that lingers in the town, it gets cleared up by these specialized bricks instead? Mm…what did they call it again, think it was something like a Per-”[/color] 

Before Kress’s magical nerd rambling could continue on for another five minutes, however, suddenly, the Kress-Tatjana pair seemed to be getting lotsa attention all of a sudden. First to bat was Cormac Hollow, nosebleed man that WAIT WAT. Angel? No way, a Levizan? And he was calling over a friend of his as well, a white-haired girl (another Levizan? They certainly [i]looked[/i] similar) as well! Stepping up in a manner that shaded Tatjana from the nosebleeding Levizan’s view, Kress said, sticking out a hand to shake, [color=8493ca]“Hey, hey, I’m Kress Alstein, nice to meetcha! Can’t believe I’m meeting [i]two[/i] Levizans at the same time. And that…oh, a handheld phonograph, you do music too? Is that like, part of your magic or something? I heard Isila and Osuun featured magic rituals that incorporated song and dance, so is that like, the same for Leviza as well? Hey Tanya, check t-”[/color]

But the second person who popped up (in a vain attempt to break up the bloc), was even more interesting, if that was possible at all. Whether intentionally or not, Kress had heard two magical phrases placed in close proximity: ‘psychic’ and ‘time and space’. Mayhaps the dark-skinned lady saw her abilities as a bother that must be mastered lest it disrupted her everyday life, but for the always-enthusiastic Kress, she looked as if she was born into the luckiest combination ever. Being a psychic was one thing, but to have her psychic specialties lie in one of the most complex schools of magic known to humanity? Oof, that was a hella spicy meatball. Popping up over Tanya’s shoulders, his amethyst eyes glittering bright, Kress quickly introduced himself, [color=8493ca]“Good day to you, m’lady! Sorry to eavesdrop outta nowhere, but well, not like I’m actually popping outta nowhere anyways. I’m Kress Alstein, pleasure to meet you and great to see Tanya meeting up with cool peeps as well. I heard you were a dancer? Cause [i]this[/i] dude here”[/color] two fingerguns shot towards the mad nosebleeding lad Cormac of Hollow [color=8493ca]“is a musician from Leviza! Crazy coincidences, huh? Welcome to Cresia, by the by. A real pleasure to see so many people from around the globe.”[/color]

Of course, it'd be nice if that white-haired girl spoke up too, but small steps, small steps. Maybe she was just shy or something.
