A bit startled to see Sky coming up behind him, Michaelys steps between Laura and Sky. Beginning to open the door further to walk back into the room, he vaguely notices that the instructor is no where to be seen.
He turns to Sky and says, 'Hello, again. I was just going to show Laura a trick I learned a while back.' suddenly feeling shy in front of this outgoing youth, he mumbles, 'you can stay and see it, too. If you want to, I mean.'

"Dang it all," Noir thinks, her brow wrinkled and lower lip stuck out, "Missed the class, Pop's gonna kill me." An excuse would be in order...she files a few old standbys through her mind until she finds a good one and smiles to herself with satisfaction. Good old Pop, he'll buy it.
With a hearty sigh, she glances around at her surroundings, not sure what to do.

Setting his satchel on the table he had so recently vacated, Michaelys pulls out a sheaf of parchment. As well as a few pencils.
'Now, Laura if you will just set here,' he pulls out a chair. 'I will give you an example of what to write.' He hands her one of the pencils.
Thinking back to the lecture he quoted about a paragraph of notes.
'Now, just begin writing down what you remember, and after I will show you how I do my...trick.', he looks up at Laura and notices that she is looking up at him. Startled he drops his gaze to the papers.

Laura watched Michaelys intently, but that seemed to be it for instructions so she hastily scribbled in a more-or-less legible scrawl the few bits she remembered from the notes he'd just recited. It was a trifle easier this time, since she'd heard it once before during the original lecture, but she still only got about a fifth of it.
'Er, now what?'
A heavy sigh floated in out from the hallway they'd just left, and Laura swiveled about, curious. Looking out the open doorway, she could just see another girl standing there. Maybe she was upset about finding the classroom in use? Laura hoped she wasn't a teacher trying to set up a new class already. You could never tell, in a magic school, if people were what they seemed.
She turned back to Michaelys. 'Sorry, um... Oh, never mind. What next?'

Sky slowly comes out of it as the young clueless enchantress looks away from him. He refrains from saying thing, everyone has secrets, she obviously didnt know about hers, but he figured it was still best kept unknown as were his own secrets, he rubs his back, and a normal person walking by wuld have expected to just see rather large back bones but Sky didnt have large backbones he had wings. "Hey Mike let me help you with that, her gaze is a little startling. He flashes a smile at Laura and picks up the papers." He stands tall and hands the papers to Michaelys. thens says "I need to go to the library to look up some things about ...er the heaven and hell conception. If you guys want to come with? I would love to have you come!" He grins and turns" Just meet up with me after Michaelys shows the spell."

'Well, it isn't neccesarily a spell..' Michaelys looks at Laura's notes. Seeing what she penned he says, 'Oh, OK, you do seem ta have the feel for it. Let me show you now.'
Concentrating, Michaelys begins a rought draft, carefully writing every third word down, leaving space for writing in additional words in the blank spaces. Glancing up he begins to demonstrate to Laura and Sky the ease of the technique.
Right at first, it appears as though, Sky was about to say something. Then Michaelys feels a thick 'something' in the air. He realizes that neither Sky or Laura is breathing. Startled, he quickly stands up, breaking his concentration. Both Laura and Sky flinch at suddenly seeing him standing where a moment ago he had been sitting.
'I'm...I'm....sorry..sorry to jump up like that. I didn't mean to scare you or anything,' he stutters to an embarassed halt. His face flushed, he quickly sits back down again.

Laura shook her head. People were so... different here. She glanced at Michaelys doubtfully.
"If the spell needs you to move that fast I don't think I could do it. Not even on a REALLY good day!"

"No, no, that's not it...Here let me explain.' He points to the page, 'As you listen to the lecture, you only need to write down every third word that you hear. That way, later you can fill in the blanks, because it is easy to remember the conversation by these key words.'
Showing the page to Laura he demonstrates, 'See, if you look at this, you can see how easy it is to remember the teachers conversation, most of the time you won't have to fill in the other words. I just do it because i have been doing it for so long, that I have gotten better at the technique.'
Glancing at Sky, who doesn't seem very interested, Michaelys then looks at Laura and realizes that he is looking straight into her eyes. Noticing how deep the color goes, he realizes that she is smiling. Not smirking as others had before, but genuinely smiling. Embarassed, he looks down at the paper.
'Well, you get the idea, anyway.' he mutters.

"But that's brilliant! Even if the third word is just 'and' or something, you can still figure out the rest from the context! Why don't they show us that in school?"
Then she blushed hotly, remembering that they WERE in school, and someone had just shown her.
"Er, I didn't mean... I meant... I didn't mean to sound ungrateful!"
She glanced about frantically for something to change the subject with.
"Oh! Sky... I didn't notice you. And who's the girl out in the hall?"

Sky looked vacant, SEH HADN"T NOTICED HIM! He silently withdrew from the room calling behind his shoulder, "Library, if ya want to come, I'll be there" He smiled at the new kid as he walked by.

Laura looked surprised. "Library? Um, okay..." She turned back to Michaelys in bewilderment. "Where's the library?"
Without waiting for a response, she muttered under her breath, "Stupid, I can just follow him, can't I?" and gathered up her stuff in a hurry.
"Thanks, Michaelys! Coming?" She called over her shoulder, and hurried after Sky.
"Wait for us!"

Carefullt gathering up the pages, Michaelys re-organizes his satchel. Ensuring that everything is in order, he slings his satchel over his shoulder and begins to follow Laura. Catching the door before it closes, he realizes that the other student is still standing in the hall.
'Oh, um. Hi there. I think that you missed the lecture, but I beileve that it was just an introduction to the classes available.' He glances at the girl, attempting to follow Laura whom he could see just going around the corner ahead of him.
'If you would like to come to the Library with us, I could lend you my notes so you can be sure you didn't miss anything.' He stops for a moment to see if she will take his offer.

Sky continues walking down the hall basking in the light of the enormous windows. He thinks for a moment about his new friends. He sure picks some interesting characters as friends. An enchantress and a shy scribe. He figured he'd break Michaelys out of his shell and help Laura with her abilities, that of course was why he was sent to the academy to help young users of mana. He looks out the window, and immediately regrets it. He sees the beautiful clear sky and his wings begin to unfold becoming larger and more magnificent. He Bursts through the window and takes to the sky, soaring above the steeples and flying through the air at the speed of a hawk. Being an angel was a wonderful experience well worth being true to The Gods for. Everlasting youth and helping others, his life was simple and fulfilling, he had no regrets. The life, or afterlife, of an angel was great.

Michaelys begins walking down the hall, wondering if the other student will follow. Just turning the corner, he notices that Laura is standing still in the hall just a little ways up from him. Hurrying to catch up, he pauses next to her.
'What's wrong, Laura?', looking around he doesn't see Sky anywhere. 'Where did he go? Is there a door that we passed back there?'

After a moment of deep thought, Noir goes *poof* to the village shops. Perhaps she will return to school tomorrow...or the next day... <ooc: looks like I'm not going to have regular Net access for awhile  so I bow out> |

"He... he... He grew wings! I don't know how to grow wings!"
Laura turns to Michaelys with a worried frown. "Do you need wings to get to the library here?"

Michaelys looks around stunned,' He grew wings? Now, that is a spell I've never heard of before.'
Michaelys looks down the hall, 'So,um, which way did he go to get there?Is it down this hall?'
He begins to wander down the hall, peering into doorways.

Laura hurries to catch up. "No doorway, he took a window. I guess you're new here too, then? I thought you'd been here awhile, with knowing the notes thing and all."

Michaelys blushes, 'No, that's something that I learned when I was younger.'
Looking around he feels rather lost. 'So, um, do we want to go looking for the Library together, then? Maybe Sky will be there waiting. I get the feeling he gets impatient easily.'

"That sounds reasonable. For a school it sure feels empty, huh? I guess I imagined a city in the sky or something with everyone whizzing around on broomsticks or whatever and having to duck all the time in case something explodes. This is almost normal...
"Hey, this looks interesting!"
Laura was peering through a doorway up at a maze of staircases, going in all different directions and crossing over and about.
"It looks like an Escher poster my friend Kayla has at home! Do you think he was really a sorceror and came here?"
